There are certain magic moments . . . The musicians go on stage, count off the first number, and all at once there is that special feeling of excitement in the room that turns a concert evening into an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the intelligence of an experienced producer who had the foresight to turn the tape machine on and then just let it run, this fleeting moment of impulsive, fresh jazz and funk has been captured for our permanent pleasure. Siegfried Loch said of his newest surprise package that, "We had no intention of making a CD from this recording, but the concert was so unbelievable good that we had no other choice." Added Claude Nobs: " There was ABSOLUTE FUNK in the house tonight. "Since 1983, while working in various jazz-rock formations, the Swedish trombonist Nils Landgren has dedicated himse...

Ogilvy: Aussie Open has become 'second-rate' tournament
by pepi
Geoff Ogilvy takes pride in his Australian Open title, but he also views the current state of the tournament as one in dire need of improvement.
Ogilvy lifted the Stonehaven Cup in 2010 at The Lakes in Sydney, where the tournament returns this week. While it remains the biggest event of the Australian golf summer, the Open has lost its luster.
At least that's the view of the former U.S. Open champ, who penned a lengthy piece for Golf Australia about what is wrong with the once-revered event and what can be done to fix it.
"I hate to say this, but the Australian Open feels like a second-rate tournament now," Ogilvy wrote. "I'm sure it is run in the same way it was 30 years ago. But tournaments elsewhere have progressed so much. And the differences show."
The field this week in Sydney seems to support Ogilvy's notion, as the three biggest names in Australian golf have all stayed home. Adam Scott is skipping the event for just the second time in the last 18 years, while Jason Day and Marc Leishman both reportedly passed for family reasons. That leaves world No. 33 Cameron Smith as the highest-ranked Aussie in the field.
The American contingent making the trek south includes last week's winner, Matt Kuchar, as well as Brandt Snedeker, Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele.
Ogilvy will not be joining them in the field at The Lakes. He hasn't played competitively since missing the cut at the Barracuda Championship in August, and having lost his PGA Tour card he and his family are in the process of moving from the U.S. back to Australia, where he plans to focus his attention more on golf course design than tournament play.
But Ogilvy noted that the current schedule isn't doing the Australian Open any favors. Being played opposite the season-ending DP World Tour Championship prevents top Europeans from playing, while many Aussies who play the Japan Tour will instead be teeing it up alongside Brooks Koepka at the lucrative Dunlop Phoenix.
Then there's the economics, as the 41-year-old notes that the prize pool offered this week is less than it was when he first turned professional, in part because the lucrative prize structure created by the PGA Tour has "ruined" some other marquee events around the world. Ogilvy now views his Aussie Open triumph ahead of his trio of WGC victories, and he laid out a thorough plan for how the tournament might improve its standing.
But with the tournament set to begin in Sydney, he reiterated that there is work to be done.
"Logistically, the Australian Open has been squeezed into a box that is difficult to escape from," Ogilvy wrote. "No one did anything wrong to create that part of this scenario. It's just what has happened. But plenty of mistakes have also been made along the way."

Bomb plots and riots – the real story of Scotland's suffragettes
By Judith Vallely
IT is the most high-profile names and events that have lingered long in history of the suffragette movement; from the leadership of the Pankhurst sisters – Emmeline and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia – to the women who went on hunger strike and then suffered the brutality of force feeding, to the shocking death of Emily Davison when she was knocked down by the king's horse at Epsom Derby.
However, women across Britain were involved in these kind of activities – including in Scotland, where militancy resulted in attacks on the city's landmarks and buildings, a meeting which ended in a riot and even an attempt to cut off the city's water supply.
In 1909, for example, plans were hatched to stage a protest on the roof of the old St Andrew's Halls, which had a renowned ballroom and was once a hive of meetings and concerts in the west end. The daring plot of the suffragettes was to disrupt a political speech by the Liberal politician Robert Crewe-Milnes, the Earl of Crewe, in support of the Budget.
But it was thwarted when some alert workmen noticed two planks of wood which they believed had been used to break into the halls. A search of the building was subsequently undertaken, where a young woman was found sitting near one of the ventilation shafts in the large hall: 'She was in a woefully chilled and drenched condition, and it was quite evident that the lady had occupied her lofty position during the rainstorm which prevailed in the early hours of the morning. On being questioned, she stated that she had got on to the roof of the halls about one o'clock in the morning, with the intention of remaining there until the Earl of Crewe addressed the meeting in the evening, when she hoped to be able to bring the claims of the women to the franchise under his Lordship's notice.'
The woman in question was Alice Paul, an American suffragist, who the report went on to say was allowed to leave the building and advised to 'change into dry clothing, and partake of a warm breakfast'.
Another suffragette involved in militant action was New Zealand-born Janet Arthur, also known as Fanny or Frances Parker, who became organiser of the Women's Social and Political Union (WPSU) in the West of Scotland and was involved in activities in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
A niece of Lord Kitchener, on one occasion she confronted Winston Churchill, who at that stage was a member of Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith's cabinet, as he travelled by train between Stranraer and Glasgow on the way back from a visit to Ireland. Frances, along with fellow suffragette Ellison Gibson, took up seats in a compartment next to him and quietly waited for an opportunity to speak to him:
'Mr Churchill came boldly along and glared at the two women while speaking to another woman belonging to his party, who had come in beside them. Miss Parker then asked if she might speak to him. 'What on,' he barked. 'On Votes for Women. No, I have had enough of that,' he replied. Asked what the Government was going to do for women, he said. 'For this behaviour you will not get the vote now,' and walked on.'
Later, the suffragettes also attempted to confront Churchill as he left his hotel in Glasgow. One WSPU member, Annie Rhoda Greig, was arrested after striking the window of his car with her muff – a popular hand-warmer fashion accessory of the time – and breaking it.
In Glasgow, incidents linked to suffragette action were taking place on a regular basis, including acid attacks on post boxes. For example, in February 1913 a brown paper parcel was discovered by a postal worker in a pillar box at Charing Cross Post Office in Woodside Crescent, Glasgow. It contained a piece of cloth saturated with acid.
'The acid, which was of an inflammable nature, had burned through the paper, and damaged a number of letters.' it was reported.
Another form of attack aimed at disrupting communications was wire-cutting, such as one incident in which around fifty telegraph and telephone wires were cut in Kilmarnock in the Dunlop and Fenwick areas: 'Cards bearing the words 'Votes for Women' were found at the scene of the outrage.'
In January 1914, the iconic Kibble Palace in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens became the target of a bomb attack. One explosion shattered a number of windows in the glass palace, which had opened in 1873 in Glasgow. It was reported as a 'Bomb Outrage' in various newspapers, including the Daily Record: 'Evidence clearly indicates that this was the work of militant Suffragettes, whose plans had been well laid.'
The police surmised it was the work of women: 'Pieces of cake and an empty champagne bottle were recovered from the shrubbery immediately adjoining the footprints leading to the Palace. The Gardens were closed to the public at five o'clock on Friday night, and it is surmised that the women hid themselves until after the closing hour, and then took refuge in one of the greenhouses. The footprints clearly indicate the high heels of ladies shoes.'
The activities of both the suffragette and peaceful suffragist organisations were suspended as Europe plunged into war in 1914. Many turned their attention instead to urging women to do their bit to support the country.
The variety of work can be seen in one account which details the tasks which had been carried out by the Glasgow Society for Women's Suffrage since the war began. This included a setting up of an exchange for voluntary workers, which supplied volunteers in response to requests, such as for canteen workers in munitions factories in Glasgow. An appeal letter sent out from the exchange also resulted in more than 3,000 sandbags being sent for troops.
In Glasgow, James Dalrymple, the manager of the city's trams, recruited so many of his staff for the war effort that few men were left to run the system. Glasgow became the first city in Britain to recruit women drivers and conductresses during the war, with the novelty of the situation making headlines, such as this report in the Yorkshire Evening Post in March 1915:
'The routes were chosen as being particularly suitable for the employment of the ladies, who have been supplied with a blue uniform, composed of coat, skirt and a cap, with facings. The cap is shaped like that worn by yachtsmen, and gives the wearers a distinctive appearance. The women discharged the duties yesterday remarkably well, although, as a precautionary measure, an inspector travelled on each of the cars with them.'
In the end, over the course of the war, a total of 1,080 female conductresses and 25 female tram drivers were employed by the city.
A report in 1915 noted that while much had been written about women undertaking work on tramways, railways, factories and shops, there was little known about the female workers undertaking the 'arduous work' in munitions factories. The women were reported to be able to undertake practically every stage of the work, which included manufacturing 18lb high-explosive shells, and only some tasks which 'might prove beyond the strength of women' were undertaken by men.
In Glasgow, three factories were built at Mossend, Mile End and Cardonald to manufacture artillery guns and shells. Lizzie Robinson worked in Cardonald and was awarded the Medal of the Order of the British Empire for her devotion to her duties, working seven days a week over eighteen months without missing a shift.
However, such work wasn't entirely without any problems, as a strike by 400 women employed by Messrs Beardmore at its factory in East Hope Street in 1917 showed. The issue was raised in the House of Commons where it was stated that the origin of the strike was the dismissal of four women who were accused of restricting output: 'Three of the women have been in the employment of the firm for two years…they catch a 5.25 train every morning, and do not return home until 7.25 at night.'
From the horrors of war emerged a hope that women, in demonstrating their capacity to play a far more active role outside the home, would be allowed to play a fuller part in society. Prominent suffragist Millicent Garrett Fawcett, who became the leader of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, summed it up in a famous quote when she said: 'The war revolutionised the industrial position of women. It found them serfs and left them free. It not only opened opportunities of employment in a number of skilled trades, but, more important even than this, it revolutionised men's minds and their conception of the sort of work of which the ordinary everyday woman was capable.'
Struggle and Suffrage in Glasgow: Women's Lives and the Fight for Equality by Judith Vallely is published by Pen & Sword Books
Five Glasgow women who changed our lives:
Janet Galloway
A key figure in the organisation and work of the Glasgow Association for the Higher Education of Women and Queen Margaret College, the first women's college in Scotland. Her activities to further the cause of women's education included travelling abroad to the great exhibition of 1893 in Chicago. She is commemorated in a memorial window in Glasgow's Bute Hall along with Isabella Elder and Jessie Campbell, who were also pioneers of education for women in Glasgow.
Margaret Irwin
Born in 1858, her mission was to improve the conditions for women in the workforce. She carried out investigations into the employment of female workers in several industries, raising concerns about issues such as long hours of work, low wages and equal pay. In one report, for example, she described a mother-of-seven who was the main bread-winner for her family, working as a trouser-finisher. The entire household of 11 people, including two male lodgers, lived in just two rooms.
Rebecca Strong
A nurse who was at the forefront of pioneering changes in her profession, she went to Florence Nightingale's training school in London and became matron of Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 1879. At a time when it was perfectly accepted that nurses would drink beer on duty, she controversially introduced a 'no drinking' rule and other ideas to improve the status of nursing, such as uniforms. She set up a training scheme which included studies in topics such as anatomy and hygiene – a model which was accepted all over the world and helped turn nursing into a respected profession.
Janie Allan
One of the founders of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Association for Women's Suffrage, she appeared in court in 1913 for refusing to pay taxes, arguing - unsuccessfully - that because she did not have the right to vote and was not considered a 'person', then expecting her to pay taxes was a form of 'tyranny'. She was part of a deputation which went to Buckingham Palace in 1914 to demand votes for women and protest against torture of hunger-strikers. They were greeted with a force of around 1,500 policeman, and when they tried to force the gates, women were knocked down by mounted officers and struck by truncheons.
Eunice Murray
She was the only woman in Scotland who stood in the first election in which some women could vote, which took place in December 1918. A leading figure in the Women's Franchise League, she stood as an independent for Bridgeton, Glasgow. However she was not successful and had to forfeit the £150 deposit paid to stand for election. It would be another five years before a woman in Scotland became an MP, with the election of Katharine Stewart Murray, the Duchess of Atholl, in Perth and Kinross.

Home Articles UCSF Project to Reduce High Blood Pressure Among Blacks
UCSF Project to Reduce High Blood Pressure Among Blacks
By Jeffrey Norris, UC SF
A new $11 million grant to Kaiser Permanente Northern California and UC San Francisco will support a research program aimed at lowering stroke risk among Black populations and younger stroke victims by targeting high blood pressure, also known as hypertension."Hypertension is much more common in Blacks than in whites and is less likely to be controlled. Despite dramatic improvements in blood pressure control among Kaiser Permanente members in Northern California over the past decade, there is currently a 5 percent disparity between our black and white members," said Stephen Sidney, MD, MPH, director of research clinics with the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research. Sidney is director of the new Stroke Prevention / Intervention Research Program, awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and principal investigator for Kaiser Permanente Northern California. "The goal of the first study in this research program is to decrease the disparity by 4 percent over one year," Sidney said. "Hypertension is on the rise in the United States, despite the fact that we know what causes it, and we know how to treat it," said UCSF's Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, MD, PhD, director of the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Bibbins-Domingo is principal investigator of the research program for UCSF and lead investigator for two of the program's four main components.
Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, MD, PhD
In the United States, Blacks are twice as likely as whites to experience a first stroke; blacks are also more likely to die as a result of a stroke.
Younger adults are also a major focus of the new grant. Recent studies suggest that strokes among younger adults are becoming more common, due to an increase in risk factors such as high blood pressure.
Adolescents increasingly are affected by high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. "We want to discover how these risk factors increase future stroke risk in different populations," Bibbins-Domingo said.
The new stroke research program includes the following components:
Clinical study to close hypertension disparity: "Shake, Rattle & Roll" is a pragmatic, clustered, randomized clinical trial led by Mai N. Nguyen-Huynh, MD, MAS, of the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research. The goal is to collaborate with Black patients at Kaiser Permanente's Oakland Medical Center to close the disparity in blood pressure control rates between black and white members.
Each primary-care physician is randomly assigned to provide all black patients with either: 1) usual care; 2) enhanced monitoring of blood pressure management; or 3) a culturally tailored healthy lifestyle and diet coaching intervention.
Research to understand stroke risk factors: Heather Fullerton, MD, pediatric stroke neurologist at UCSF, will lead a study among patients to better quantify disparities in stroke risk factors in young adulthood over time. Fullerton aims to identify unrecognized factors that may contribute to stroke risk and disparities in young adults.
Modeling of stroke-risk trends: Bibbins-Domingo will lead studies using a computer simulation of stroke and heart disease in U.S. populations – the Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Policy Model – to predict the national impact of stroke risk trends on stroke incidence and health disparities.
Training future researchers: Bibbins-Domingo will lead efforts to expand training in the study of health disparities at UCSF. She will coordinate efforts to identify trainees interested in stroke and cardiovascular disease prevention and health disparities and foster collaborations between these trainees and other investigators in the research program.
The grant to Kaiser Permanente and UCSF to reduce hypertension is one of four awarded nationwide to target stroke, to be funded with up to $40 million over five years.
"These research efforts will give us the traction we need to control the greatest modifiable stroke risk factor," said Walter J. Koroshetz, MD, deputy director of NINDS, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.

Everything you need to know about being a subscriber!
What are the benefits of subscribing? There are TONS of benefits from subscribing. The most important ones are: being able to buy a ranch, having unlimited play time, and training your horses twice as fast! More benefits in greater detail will be described later on in this guide.
How do I subscribe? You can either by one ingame from another player or buy one yourself using Paypal or postal mail.
How many days do I get when I subscribe? A monthly subscription added to your account is +31 days. A yearly added to your account is +366 days. Everytime you buy another sub, it tags onto your current sub. For example, if I only had 8 days left on my account, and I bought a month sub, I would now have 39 days of subscription on my account.
A common problem I always see is when players buy a sub, but then they don't have any money left to buy a ranch! Either this, or when they buy a ranch, they cannot build anything on it or upgrade it. So, they end up being subscribed, but having no money left to buy a ranch or having a ranch with nothing on it (which is pretty useless).
Before subscribing, please take into consideration of the costs. If you are buying the sub ingame, think about that cost. Sub prices range from server to server. Then there is also the money to just BUY the ranch. Ranches cost from 500k (cheapest) to 2 million (most expensive). Then there is also the upgrades and buildings you will want to have as well, and those will cost a quite a bit of money.
So, before subscribing and going off to buy a ranch, make sure you have enough money. The mininium amount I would have would be 1.5 Million. 500k for the sub (price varies from server to server), 500k for the ranch (cheapest), and another 200k-300k for buildings and upgrades. You would then have about 200k-300k of spending money to either save up or spend on other things so you won't be completely broke.
Is your ranch location convenient? Having a ranch, in say, the middle of Tail Isle, would be pretty annoying if you were in a rush to get somewhere.
Is your ranch near resources (cotton, rock piles, berry bushes, cattails, etc.)? While this isn't too important, it may be helpful if you are still questing or in need of these items.
Will you need a wagon, or will you walk to the nearest town? If your ranch is the middle of no where, you would probably want to build a wagon. However, please keep in mind that a wagon does take up space on your ranch. Instead of that wagon, you could have possibly built a barn or a windmill. Walking is definetly an option, but what if you are in a rush? Do you have the patience to waste time just to walk to somewhere?
Oh yeeeess, ranches. Probably the most important benefit to all players. You can do so many things with ranches. They can let you enjoy your game even more, even though it is a little pricey.
The moment you buy a ranch, you get the Dorothy Shoes. No, these cannot be equipped to your game character, but they do stay in your inventory. If you use them (shortcut: F12), you will be sent to your ranch instantly, unless it is Prison Isle.
Ever been tired of going to the City Hall just to pick up that one mail? Instead of going to the City Hall (which isn't in every town), you can just tap your Dorothy Shoes to go to your ranch, and it will instantly arrive in your inventory.
You can't view a players' profile if they aren't on, but other players can view your ranch 24/7! You can put a nifty ad or description on your ranch for all the players to see.
Horse Stable Barn - $50,000 - +3 horse room.
Flower Garden - $5,000 - Useless. Don't get it. It does absolutely nothing, except look pretty.
Horse Stable Big Barn - $500,000 - +6 horse room.
Horse Stable Gold Barn - $5,000,000 - +9 horse room.
* If you have a barn, you can sell horses on autosale if you are offline or online.
Your game subscription has expired. Ranch functions unavailable. You can subscribe back on your account page, or you can sell your ranch by clicking BUILD at upper right and then clicking on your main building.
You are no longer cursed to that 360 minute limit, and now you have unlimited play time! You can play forever~ Well, until your sub ends that is.
Instead of training your horses one per every two hours, you can now train once per hour.
If the server is nearing max capacity (reaching too many players at once), subscribers get priority access.
While nonsubscribers only gain +1 global chat every two minutes, subscribers get +1 per minute.
Ever wondered what those pretty stars next to some players names were? Depending on how much you pay through subs, pawneer orders, etc, you get certified with a certain star.
Once your sub ends, the star will go away. But, when you resub, your star from last time will come back, and might even jump to the next level!
Whenever you buy a sub, you NEVER EVER PAY FIRST. They must send the sub to you, and then you pay. It's also in the rules. The person will most likely scam you if they ask you to pay first.
Probably the most obvious scam, don't fall for it. The player will ask for you to pay first and then they will sub after. Always a lie, always a lie. They will take the money and scam. If you do pay first and get scammed, it's entirely your fault, and don't expect to get any help from the admins. ONLY PAY AFTER THEY HAVE SUBBED YOU!

Youth Collective artists Anna and Angel are the recipients of Camden Arts Centre's first annual Youth Residency, taking place over summer 2018.
During a six-week programme, the residency will allow for an exploration of ideas and processes which have been developed during Youth Collective sessions throughout the year.
Angel's interests include 3D printmaking, interaction and transformation.
Anna's interests include sculpture, performance and the metaphysical.
Our Youth Collective meets regularly to create, discuss, experience and encounter visual arts, offering opportunities to be involved behind the scenes at Camden Arts Centre and to further career development, skills and knowledge.
The residency is designed for emerging artists aged 15-25 to receive practical support through an artist mentor scheme, studio visits with curatorial staff, access to space and materials and an end of residency showcase.


What a great Thai dish this is for fish lovers and those who don't eat spicy food alike. Seabass with celery (ปลากระพงผัดขึ้นฉ่าย) is a little bit sweet and a lotta bit tasty! Probably healthy too if you're into that sort of thing.
One of those desserts that you never tire of feasting on. It's a Thai staple, sweet sticky rice, fresh juicy mango and a generous helping of coconut milk for a nice drizzle! All in all a great way to finish a lovely dinner here at Laong's.


It's been St. Martin's Day all over the world and people went to get some nice goose meat to feast.
But where do you get your meat, especially red meat in the bush in the middle of nowhere? The nearest mall or meat market is 60km away from Chinkonono. You have to hike and hope to hitchhike on a maize truck, paying maybe $2 to reach town. After this challenging trip you buy a kilo of steak if you can afford it.
But seriously…would you if hares and impalas (they call them the fast food of the bush because of their speed and the McDonalds m on their butts 😉 ) were available in nearby bushes? No? Well, our PAF people and villagers don't either.
So when a family craves for meat the boys mobilise themselves and whistle the dogs to combat. Theboys doing the hunting are from PAF families. The older one is Kankido. He usually leads the hunt and is very skilled and experienced and thus a good teacher for the younger men.
These troops spread into in the bush and within just a few hours they have fresh meat. It takes a bit of skills and patience. But it mostly pays off.
While, who needs a mall and fridge when fresh meat roams the neighbourhood?
People these days go crazy about healthy and organic food or superfood. All that for the "western world" is very expensive while in places like Chinkonono it is so easy to get.
One of our coordinators, Wesley (Lloyd's brother), has sent some pics and info about one of the village's favourite snacks: Vinkubala…caterpillars.
What? Yeah..caterpillars. What sounds like the most stereotype thing to say about Africa is actually a very, very healthy part of PAF members' diet.
In Chinkonono those caterpillars are called Vinkubala. Wesley set out to catch them to bring home a surprise for his family for New Years Day.
As you can see the kids went crazy about them.
Those caterpillars can be found in some trees in the field around December and January. It is mostly a popular relish or snack around Southern Region.
Vinkubala provide the body with a lot of proteins, vitamines and many more nutrients. That is why during the 2 months people try to eat as many as they can. They are a valuable and important addition to the regular diet. Even the Zambian government recommends eating caterpillars.
As you can imagine, thinking of caterpillars, most kids at first are a bit hesitant and even scream when they see or touch them for the first time. But on the other hand they are more than eager to have them.
Do we really need spoons?
How to eat vinkubala, you ask? Well…obviously you put them in a dish and kids will try sort out the biggest ones for themselves first. 😉 Then you have to get the outer shell off and remove the insides. Apply some salt, let them sit there for a few hours or a day. Then they are ready to be fried or cooked. You can add any ingredients you see fit.
Für die Deutsche Version bitte nach unten scrollen!
Everybody loves sweets and candy, right? So do the people in Chinkonono. So we invited Kennedy to visit us in the village. Kennedy knows how to make candy. He sells them in villages and in town.
It seemed like a great idea to try and produce sweets to sell at our market soon.
First of all you put a pot on the fire and heat the sugar and some oil. After a few minutes you add water and the lemon juice and stir a bit. When it is boiling you will see some bubbles and foam.
While you watch that mass cook you can take some of the flavored powder and mix it with a bit of oil and also heat it till it is a liquid mass.
When the sugar mass is ready you need a greased pan to pour it onto. And then use a spoon to move the mass to not have it stick to the pan.
Once the mass cooled down a bit it takes 2 people to kneed and fold it over and over again. It is beautiful to watch how the colour of the sugar mass changes. It looks like gold in the sunshine.
The next step is to make a big ball of the mass and make small balls of the colored powder. Those you press into the mass and along the ball on 3 sides.
Then it is easy…you just form long threads of the mass, put them on the pan and cut them. Let them cool and tadaaahhh: candy!
Check the video to see the most important steps. It is fascinating to watch.
All our PAF members watched and learned. Even our PAF Warriors showed up to have a look (and taste a candy) before their practice.
If any of you guys is interested in trying PAF Moringa Sweets made in Chinkonono…let us know. We gladly take orders and produce as soon as we can.
Während die Masse so vor sich hinköchelt kann man schon das farbige Pulver mit etwas Öl mischen und dann auf dem Feuer erhitzen bis es eine zähe Masse wird.
Sobald die Zuckermasse die richtige Konsistenz hat wird sie auf ein gut gefettetes Blech gekippt und dann mit einem Löffel bewegt, damit sie nicht festklebt. Sobald die Masse etwas abgekühlt ist, wird sie zu einem großen Ball geformt und dann von 2 Leuten geknetet und gefaltet. Immer und immer wieder. Es ist faszinierend und wunderschön, zu beobachten wie sich die Farbe der Masse ständig verändert und golden im Sonnenschein glänzt.
Die farbige Masse kann nun zu kleinen Bällen geformt und dann längs der Zuckermasse in 3 schmalen Streifen angedrückt werden. Nun muss man eigentlich nur noch die Masse in schlauchförmige Stangen formen und auf dem Blech schneiden. Tadaaahhh: fertige Bonbons!
Schaut euch am besten mal das Video an. Dort sind die wichtigsten Schritte noch einmal zu sehen. Es ist faszinierend, die Herstellung zu beobachten. Kein Wunder, dass so viele unserer PAF Mitglieder zugeschaut haben. Auch die Jungs unserer PAF Warriors haben es sich nicht nehmen lassen, einen Blick (und ein paar Bonbons) vor ihrem abendlichen Training zu erhaschen.
Falls ihr also Interesse an hausgemachten PAF Moringa Sweets habt, lasst es uns wissen. Wir nehmen Bestellungen entgegen und werden dann nächstes Jahr schnellstmöglich produzieren.

Do you like green eggs? (and ham) In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday my youngest son's school is having a big day of reading. They were allowed to bring in slippers, blankets for sitting on the floor, Dr. Seuss books, and snacks to share with the class.
We decided to make some green egg cookies, although we had trouble finding something for the "yolk" we opted for green colored candy chocolate eggs. I know they are a bit small for yolks and egg shaped, but hey it is Dr. Seuss- so green eggs can be whimsical! :) We just made sugar cookies dough..then we took one of our many cookie cutters (a dinosaur shaped one that had gotten bent) and bent it into a eggy shape. Since the cookies expand slightly I didn't need to worry about the egg shaped being perfect. Then we used white frosting to make them look more like eggs and added one green chocolate egg to each center for the yolk.
I decided to not worry about the ham part (maybe some one else will bring ham haha) but you could very well make ham cookies too.
17 Responses to Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
These are so cool! My son saw them, and is now begging me to make them, lol! Have fun in Chicago!
Love the egg shape! What about those colored chocolate disks they sell in the baking section for the yolks? I can't remember if they have a point on top or not though.
Brilliant. I love that book. That Sam-I-am. I do so like that Sam-I-am.
Gosh, you always make the cutest treats. I bet all your son's classmates are jealous he has such a cool mom.
Love those!!! I'm now craving both sunny side up eggs and sugar cookies with icing!!
So cute! Nothing better than an entire day dedicated to Dr. Seuss! Love him.
what a coincidence! i had no idea it was Dr Seuss's birthday yesterday, and i brought a Dr Seuss dictionary for only 50p!!
Even a day after this was posted i am still thinking about the Green egg cookies. I adore them, you have inspired me. When my little 9 month old can actually eat a cookie we will make these and share a Seuss story. I bet they were a hit in your son's class.


They emerged one by one from the forest edge, ranging a dozen meters apart. The first male into the clearing fell back immediately, allowing the other male to take the front, orienting himself around the tall, dark-haired man in a manner that clearly displayed who led the pack. The third was a woman; from this distance, all I could see of her was that her hair was a startling shade of red.
They closed ranks before they continued cautiously toward Edward's family, exhibiting the natural respect of a troop of predators as it encounters a larger, unfamiliar group of its own kind.
As they approached, I could see how different they were from the Cullens. Their walk was catlike, a gait that seemed constantly on the edge of shifting into a crouch. They dressed in the ordinary gear of backpackers: jeans and casual button-down shirts in heavy, weatherproof fabrics. The clothes were frayed, though, with wear, and they were barefoot. Both men had cropped hair, but the woman's brilliant orange hair was filled with leaves and debris from the woods.
Their sharp eyes carefully took in the more polished, urbane stance of Carlisle, who, flanked by Emmett and Jasper, stepped guardedly forward to meet them. Without any seeming communication between them, they each straightened into a more casual, erect bearing.
The man in front was easily the most beautiful, his skin olive-toned beneath the typical pallor, his hair a glossy black. He was of a medium build, hard-muscled, of course, but nothing next to Emmett's brawn. He smiled an easy smile, exposing a flash of gleaming white teeth.
The woman was wilder, her eyes shifting restlessly between the men facing her, and the loose grouping around me, her chaotic hair quivering in the slight breeze. Her posture was distinctly feline. The second male hovered unobtrusively behind them, slighter than the leader, his light brown hair and regular features both nondescript. His eyes, though completely still, somehow seemed the most vigilant.
Their eyes were different, too. Not the gold or black I had come to expect, but a deep burgundy color that was disturbing and sinister.
The dark-haired man, still smiling, stepped toward Carlisle.
"We thought we heard a game," he said in a relaxed voice with the slightest of French accents. "I'm Laurent, these are Victoria and James." He gestured to the vampires beside him.
"I'm Carlisle. This is my family, Emmett and Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Alice, Edward and Bella." He pointed us out in groups, deliberately not calling attention to individuals. I felt a shock when he said my name.
"Do you have room for a few more players?" Laurent asked sociably.
Carlisle matched Laurent's friendly tone. "Actually, we were just finishing up. But we'd certainly be interested another time. Are you planning to stay in the area for long?"
"We're headed north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in the neighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time."
"No, this region is usually empty except for us and the occasional visitor, like yourselves."
The tense atmosphere had slowly subsided into a casual conversation; I guessed that Jasper was using his peculiar gift to control the situation.
"What's your hunting range?" Laurent casually inquired.
Carlisle ignored the assumption behind the inquiry. "The Olympic Range here, up and down the Coast Ranges on occasion. We keep a permanent residence nearby. There's another permanent settlement like ours up near Denali."

Hello everyone, I hope your Monday is being productive yet short.
As we all know, living a metropolitan lifestyle is usually fast paced and many of us use a dry cleaning service to keep our finer clothes fresh and clean for when we don't have time (or are generally bad at) to wash ourselves by hand. But the problem with that is that most places use extremely toxic chemicals that are harmful for you and planet. In London there are a few places that offer sustainable dry cleaning services and I have a review for you today of Connoisseur Dry Cleaning.
The items I took in for reviewing were one of my favourite blazers that had no visible stains but started to smell of B.O and cigarette fumes. The second choice of garment I took in is a bandage dress that belongs to my friend and had a visible food stain on the backside. I took the items in and had a friendly chat with the wonderful director Ediz about his sustainability visions.
What initially made you set up a dry cleaning service that was sustainable?
At the turn of the millennium our father (Bazil Zekayi) decided that choosing a greener dry cleaning method was the future. After searching the market for a sustainable option he found Green Earth. Green Earth was already very successful in the U.S, however cleaners in the U.K avoided it due to the higher costs and manual pre-spotting involved before cleaning. For Connoisseurs it was a step in the right direction - it is better for the environment, better for the clothing and better for our staff.
What does sustainability mean to you personally?
Sustainability is the future for every person and business, whether they know it or not. It's no longer a phase but a necessity. Reducing our carbon footprint helps the environment and as a business owner also reduces costs.
How is it sustainable compared to normal dry cleaners?
The amount of wear caused to a garment using Perc (the traditional cleaning solvent used by most dry cleaners) is 7 times greater than Green Earth.
Effectively items should last seven times as long if cleaned with GreenEarth. According to our statistics the waste generated from the Green Earth process is on average 75% less due to the ability to recycle, purify and recover the Green Earth after a cleaning cycle.
Does it cost more than normal dry cleaning?
Yes - perhaps initially. This is due to the process being unique and our costs to use it being higher. In the long run however, garments will look better for longer prolonging their life and avoiding early replacement due to wear.
Does it take longer than normal dry cleaning?
Yes - The Green Earth process takes approximately 20-25 minutes longer to complete a cycle.
What are the future goals of Connoisseurs?
We aim to always be one step ahead of the traditional high street dry cleaner, by offering numerous specialist cleaning services that are sustainable, affordable and of the highest quality.
I picked up the items the following week of giving it in and analysed both items in the store. The blazer came out perfect with no creases and all the stitches in place whilst smelling clean. The dress stain however was vaguely visible upon close examination. One of the staff workers explained that the food stain couldn't be removed as it had been setting for a long period (thats my friends fault) and that it was over stitched pattern fabric. The dress is still very wearable though and to know that you aren't harming the planet in order to keep your clothes clean is a much better feeling than maybe using something more chemical to get that stain out.
I recommend Connoisseur highly for their excellent customer care if you live in London and if you live you live somewhere else just use google to find something locally.

Three companies collectively rake in a sizeable portion of revenues in the Europe raw milk vending machines market, limiting the scope for new entrants to thrive, reports Transparency Market Research in a new study. The three leaders, DF Italia S.R.L, Brunimat GmbH, and ProMeteA S.R.L, held 86.6% of the market in 2015.
However, both large and small players are now focusing on strengthening their dealer network and adding value to their product portfolios to attract a wider consumer base. Improving the sanitation of these vending machines and enhancing their ergonomic features along with making a few customizations to cater to changing consumer demand will help these companies win bigger market shares, says TMR.
The positive impact on the rise of the raw milk vending machines market is being created by the plummeting milk prices and the soaring milk production. "The total milk production in Europe approximated 216 mn tons in 2013," says a TMR analyst.
The decline in the average price of milk and rising production levels have created an unprofitable situation for milk farmers. This will consequently lead them to explore alternative revenue methods.
More farmers are thus investing in raw milk vending machines as they eliminate the need for middlemen by directly catering to the customers.
The milk vending machine market in Europe does face restrictions such as the possibility of bacterial growth in milk containers. Studies have evidenced that raw milk is easily susceptible to the growth of Salmonella spp., M.
Bovis, B. melitensis, and TBEV amongst others. Owing to these reasons, the high chance of food poisoning due to consumption of raw milk from vending machines is adversely impacting sales.
The possibility of selling other dairy products such as buttermilk, yogurt, cheese, and chocolate through these vending machines does, however, open up new avenues for growth. Thus, vending machine manufacturers are looking at adding additional compartments to sell other milk-related items, which have a fairly longer shelf life.
Furthermore, vegetables can also be sold through these kiosks as they are refrigerated. The growing demand for convenient shopping options across Europe will create several opportunities for this market.
Transparency Market Research report states the opportunity in the Europe raw milk vending machine market will be worth US$17.97 mn in 2024 as compared to US$6.45 mn in 2015. Through the forecast period of 2016 and 2024, this market will expand at a CAGR of 12.5%.
The fastest growing regional segment of the raw milk vending machine market is EU7, which accounted for US$2.89 mn in 2015. However, Rest of Europe is anticipated to rise at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2024.
Key players collectively held over 86% of the raw milk vending machine market in Europe in 2015.
EU7 countries are the key contributors to the market with increasing milk consumption and dropping prices.
Manufacturers recommended to modify designs to alter vending machines to sell other dairy products to increase sales.

Rights and responsibilities: fisking David Pannick
I can't quite believe the extent of my disagreement with David Pannick's article in today's Times, the title of which suggests it may be about immigration, but which is actually about the government's planned "British bill of rights and responsibilities". Perhaps it's not simply a cliché to say that I couldn't disagree with him more. It's looks as though I'm making a habit of it. But the extent of my disagreement this time makes this post inevitably into a fisk.
Pannick argues that we need such a bill, firstly because it would have a "symbolic and educative function". Well, those seem to me very bad reasons http://www.lependart.com to have a law – and its pretty clear from what he says later that is is indeed a law that Pannick has in mind and not merely an airy declaration. If symbolism (rather than substantive change) is needed, why isn't the existing Human Rights Act good enough?
Pannick implies that a fuller public debate about human rights values is needed – more than we got in 1998. But what does he thinks this "debate" would achieve? Widespread agreement? Surely that's hopelessly optimistic. Agreement, at least by a majority of people, on what our legislation should provide in terms of human rights protection? If that's his aim, then I think Pannick had better get used to the fact that the public probably don't want the strong form of human rights incorporation he goes on to advocate in the rest of the article. I think there is actually plentiful public debate on human rights, in pubs and clubs, in Parliament and in the media – but lawyers aren't really contributing to it because they're convinced it's at too low and knockabout a level. Pannick says
There's a shameful lack of understanding of the content of the Human Rights Act by politicians and the public.
Well, I think that's a fair statement, but I'm not sure the HRA is really different in that regard from, say, the European Union, or the "Children's Act" as it's so often called, or discrimination legislation or the Abortion Act. As in all these areas, politicians and the public do try to get a broad understanding of what's going on. But some of the most contentious issues – is the Reform Treaty the same as the Constitution; will age discrimination laws mean firms can't force people to retire? – are difficult to understand without the kind of training many lawyers have and which it's always going to be Fake Oakleys unreasonable to expect people to undergo. But they're going to debate the result they see coming from the legislation, vigorously, and I don't think it's enough for lawyers (as I think Pannick is doing here) to refuse to count that as a proper debate on the grounds of it being insufficiently enthusiastic about human rights.
Pannick wants a bill of rights to
set out the core values of our society to be taught in schools and to be accepted by anyone wishing to move here
but this worries me. Why should kids be taught about legislation? Maybe if you have a sort of nationally founding text like the US Constitution, teaching kids about is fair enough – it's part of history. By all means let's teach kids about Magna Carta, 1688, the Reform Act and the Suffragettes. But teaching kids about Gordon Brown's latest marvellous bill seems to me far too much like political education. And why should immigrants accept these values? If what Pannick had in mind were merely values like "fair play", "democracy", "a free press", "equality for women" and so on, I'd agree with him. But it's clear from the article as whole that what he really means is the content of the existing HRA, plus. Why should an immigrant have to accept, say, that there should be a right to protection of property (as guaranteed by the ECHR and the HRA)? Isn't it acceptable for someone to be a sincere communist, believing that all property is theft? It seems to me that someone believing that and working peacefully and democratically for that principle to be applied, is a perfectly acceptable immigrant fully accepting core British values.
Pannick says the bill would
provide a framework for the resolution of controversial issues of public policy
which is the kind of thing Francesca Klug argues in her book Values for a Godless Age. But I don't think it would provide such a "framework", any more than the Human Rights Act does already. How could it? If the public and politicians in effect replace discussion of practical policies (what Popper called "piecemeal social engineering" – getting him in again) with discussion of human rights principles what we end up with is the confused impulse that what care home residents urgently need is the protection of human rights laws – without direct consideration of how those Cheap Oakley principles would bite and what behaviour they'd require of care homes – and neglect of the question of whether the regulatory regime for such homes is good enough and effectively enough policed.
It's what I call "human rightsism": a belief that all policy questions should be cast in human rights terms, so that human rights law extends to everything. It borders on seeing human rights as a kind of secular religion (the title of Francesca Klug's book is a giveaway I think) – and I'm against it. It can also lead to what I call a "ratcheting down" of actual human rights protection if – seeing everything through the human rights lens – politicians and others replace all discussion of , say, whether a proposed mechanism such as trial by judge alone is procedurally fair, with a discussion of whether it satisfies the minimum guarantee of article 6. Anyway, how does thinking about abortion, say, in terms of rights – the right to life of the foetus versus the right to biological self-determination for women – help decide what the content of abortion law should be? How does thinking about rights help decide what to do about binge-drinking? I think human rightsism is a way of thinking developed by some liberals under Thatcherism, when they lost faith in political action and decided legal methods worked better to further political ends. But you can't, ultimately, replace politics with legal principle.
I've not finished yet, I'm afraid. Pannick argues that the bill
would emphasise that human rights law involves a balance between rights and responsibilities
which it undoubtedly does. But I'm impatient with lawyers and politicians reassuringly telling us that human rights law embodies the idea that rights and responsibilities must be balanced – that they require a balancing procedure – while avoiding the hard, nasty, political truth that what actually matters is where, substantively, the balance is struck in the end. It's this avoidance that enables David Pannick to say – much as the government does – that
Misleading, and sometimes mischievous, newspaper reports have wrongly led people to believe that the Human Rights Act confers entitlements free from obligations to respect the right of others and to contribute to the welfare of society.
But I'm afraid it is neither misleading nor mischievous to say that the Chahal case prevents the UK from deporting people who are a risk to our national security, so long as there's a substantial risk they might be tortured at home. It's true. And it shows that under the existing content of the Human Rights Act, respect for other's rights and contributing to other's welfare is not, and cannot be, a condition Cheap Replica oakleys of the enjoyment of Convention rights or of a right to remain in this country. So much for Pannick's contention that
A British bill would identify what the community is entitled to expect of all those who live here.
It wouldn't, unless it makes changes to the Human Rights Act to deal with problems like that caused by Chahal or raised (however misdirectedly, legally speaking) by the Learco Chindamo case. These dirty, nasty, demotically Daily Mailish arguments are in fact the public debate Pannick says he wants, precisely about "what the community is entitled to expect of all those who live here".
But what David Pannick actually wants is an extension of individual rights in the HRA – not their further balancing or tempering by responsibility. As well as that, he wants Parliament's freedom to legislate contrary to Convention rights to be curtailed.
Pannick ends by saying that
One of [the values that bind us together] is that political change is the product of free debate of information and ideas led by democratically elected politicians.
I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment – but everything else Pannick has argued for runs counter to that principle by suggesting the entrenchment of fixed standards now, and limiting what public and paliamentary debate can achieve.
I support the Human Rights Act, and the Convention: the public should not (as I believe the government is now trying to do) be conned with smoke, bills and talk of content-free "balance" and "responsibility" into believing that the current content of the Human Rights Act is uncontroversial apple pie, and any little worries are myth and nonsense.
The real challenge is to face up to the Act's real requirements and either justify them, or set about changing them at national or international level.
"uncontroversial apple pie"
As a consequence of the climate which may be generated by the current and perhaps ongoing credit crunch, I wondered whether or not, i) fiat currency, and; ii) the freedom to contract wrt paying wages directly into bank accounts would be affected. Both of these situations could be seen as depriving someone of the "peaceful enjoyment of his possessions." (art 1 of protocol 1).
However, reading further, one sees, "… No one shall be deprived of his possessions except in the public interest and subject to the conditions provided for by law and by the general principles of international law.
The preceding provisions shall not, however, in any way impair the right of a State to enforce such laws as it deems necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest or to secure the payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties."
In other words State theft under the pretence of the rule of law. Utter bollocks. The HR Act 1998, printed out, is used toilet paper.
A bit harsh, that…
"A bit harsh,"
Perhaps, but here's where I'm coming from.
Chatting with someone the other day about the credit crunch and what it may mean for the man on the street, the subject of paying wages came up. Particularly, paying wages directly into a bank account rather than being allowed to demand cash in hand. As HoL most probably knows, "… If I pay money into my bank account, either by paying cash or a cheque, the money at once becomes the money of the banker. The relationship between banker and customer and is that of debtor and creditor. … I have a chose in action, …" according to Lord Goddard CJ in R v Davenport [1954].
So, why can't we demand cash for our labours (whether by hand or brain) instead of being palmed off with a chose in action (btw, the chose in action was held with Norther Rock)?
The reason is because of freedom to contract. Employers and (prospective) employees are free to negotiate the terms of how wages are paid. Even though the relationship over this matter is asymmetrical. But it wasn't always like this so why now?
Well, it began in the 80s after the passing of the Wages Act 1986 which had the effect of repealing the Truck Acts 1831 and 1960. So, what were the Truck Acts?
Before 1831 employers and prospective employees had freedom of contract when negotiating how wages were to be paid; due to the asymmetry of the relationship, employers negotiated to pay the employees either in kind or with vouchers. The vouchers only being redeemable at the company shop this meant that the employees were being cheated out of the value of their labour. Consequently, an Act was passed where 'artisans' had to be paid their wages in money.
Now, does anyone imagine that the HR Act 1998 has as much teeth as the Truck Acts when it comes to protecting a persons possessions?
As to fiat currency, this is simply a voucher scheme. Money has been replaced by tokens, instead of some boorish greedy mill owner getting more than the market value of someones labour, the State gets it.
Still a bit harsh?
After hearing both Dominic Grieve and Michael Wills talk at the Justice lecture last night I am now left wondering "what is the point?". Both parties want to protect parliamentary sovereignty and not increase judicial power re: striking down legislation. Both parties accept that the Bill of Rights could only increase the rights contained in the HRA/ECHR. And both parties wanted the Bill entrenched somehow. Keeping all this in mind, neither explained why it was necessary to introduce a Bill of Rights when in reality there isn't going to be much difference between that and what is contained in the HRA/ECHR.
It makes no sense, does it, JB? I can't understand it either, and to be honest I imagine civil servants are wondering at the moment just what on earth they can possibly put in this bill, whenever they come round to having to do something.
The more I think about it, the more I conclude that this whole policy was conceived as part of a plan aiming at an election in spring 2008 – a time-line that's now had to be abandoned of course through a botched dither about whether to bring it forward. It was possibly sustainable politically to suggest for six months or so that you were planning to reform human rights law in a way that would magically unite the Daily Mail, Liberty, Labour activists and men and women in pubs. They could have buried it, if they'd won, in 2009-10.
But now Michael Wills may actually have to come up with something before the next election. Best outcome for Gordon? Possibly lots of "citizens' juries" saying there should be no change.

TRIPP Announces $11.2M in Funding from BITKRAFT, Qualcomm, Amazon Alexa Fund, HTC, Niantic, and Mayfield to Scale the Mindful Metaverse
Funding will be used to meet growing global demand for mental wellbeing through TRIPP's unique (XR) wellness accessible through AR, VR and mobile
Company also announces acquisition of Eden which will enable users to further customize their TRIPP experience, explore digital realities and meet other people
The new round brings TRIPP's total funding to $26.3M
TRIPP, the company building the mindful metaverse, today announced an $11.2M investment led by BITKRAFT Ventures, with participation from Qualcomm, Amazon Alexa Fund, HTC, Niantic and existing investor Mayfield totaling $26.3M to date. The funds will be used to expand its team in building impactful technologies that facilitate wellbeing in the metaverse. TRIPP is also announcing its acquisition of worldbuilding platform Eden from BeardedEye, creators of the popular Galactic Gallery VR experience. The launch of Eden on TRIPP's platform will be a major step towards building safe, community-driven experiences in the mindful metaverse.
The fresh funding comes at a time when access to mental healthcare is in more demand than ever: the pandemic triggered a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide, with resources increasingly strained. TRIPP's digital support tools – designed to help TRIPP users take control of their mental wellbeing through meditative experiences – are available through convenient access points like AR, VR, and mobile.
"With over one billion people globally suffering from depression, anxiety, or stress, we're hopeful that innovations like TRIPP can be a part of the solution," said Moritz Baier-Lentz, partner at BITKRAFT Ventures. "Beyond a great product that is already a leader in its category, there was a lot to like about what Nanea and the TRIPP team have built. It's rare to find such a combination of authentic founder-market fit, operational excellence, and an exciting vision with many avenues for future growth."
"TRIPP's innovative platform highlights the unique magic of VR to support people's mindfulness worldwide, and represents an important step towards normalizing the broader discussion around technology's role in mental health," said Pearly Chen, Vice President at HTC VIVE. "We're proud to be part of their journey as we work together to build out the mindful metaverse and help people everywhere foster a deeper connection with themselves."
TRIPP's acquisition of Eden's cross-service world-building technology marks a major milestone in pioneering the mindful metaverse as a safe space for users to connect and support each other's emotional and mental wellbeing. The acquisition will enable users to further customize their TRIPP experience, explore artworks and soundscapes while connecting with users from across the globe.
"We're grateful that more and more investors are recognizing the need for innovative wellness tools that expand beyond traditional meditation apps," said Nanea Reeves, founder and CEO of TRIPP. "Through our acquisition of Eden, we're one step closer to truly building a mindful metaverse and establishing a safe space for transformative experiences in digital realities while also empowering creators to join us in our mission."
Eden marks TRIPP's third acquisition, and second this year, following the acquisition of the largest VR live meditation community EvolVR in January. This latest funding round includes investment from Qualcomm (Waze, Zoom), Niantic (Pokémon Go), HTC and Amazon Alexa Fund to existing high-profile shareholders like Mayfield (Tonal); with an emphasis on gaming, Web3 and immersive technology visionaries. The announcement comes on the heels of TRIPP's newly revamped mobile app and collaboration with Luminance to develop next generation wellness experiences as NFTs.

Takata Will Not Offer Upfront Compensation to Airbag Victims
July 13, 2015—Takata rejected the suggestion that it should establish a fund to compensate victims of its defective airbags, according to a report by USA Today.
In a letter, Takata told U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) that it "believes that a national compensation fund is not currently required."
Takata is at the center of the largest recall in U.S. history after it was determined that its airbags were prone to exploding with too much force and ejecting shrapnel. The defect has been blamed in at least eight deaths and 100 injuries. The company will not offer upfront compensation to victims.
Kevin Kennedy, Takata executive vice president of North America, told Blumenthal that the company deeply regrets the defects but "has already resolved a number of claims" and will continue to weigh settlements on a case by case basis.
"Takata is apparently unwilling to acknowledge its responsibility for these tragic deaths and injuries, or do justice for victims and their loved ones. I will press Takata to reconsider this callous misjudgment, and do right by the innocent victims of its harm." Blumenthal said, according to USA Today.
This all comes after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator (NHTSA) Administrator Mark Rosekind told reporters in Washington last week that he will most likely be conducting a special hearing in the fall to determine whether Takata repeatedly violated federal standards on recalls.
After the letter was released to the media, Takata issued a statement that expressed its commitment "to treating fairly anyone injured as a result of an inflator rupture."
"While we do not believe establishing a general compensation fund is warranted at this time, we will continue to assess our position as we focus on how best to address the needs of individuals affected by an inflator rupture," said Takata, according to USA Today.

India's poker startups industry worth $120M slowly becoming a profit-making model
It's a patch start, but Karnataka, West Bengal and Nagaland are the only states to have given a clear verdict, classifying poker as a skill-based game.
WRITTEN BYShashwati Shankar | ET Bureau
Rahul, an analyst with an international gaming company, spends up to eight hours every day playing poker online, often making up to Rs 10,000 within 15 minutes. Of course, he does lose money as well, but the initial wins make for a heady rush.
"I got introduced to the game almost a year ago and I have been hooked ever since," said Rahul, 26, who aspires to be a professional poker player someday. "It's especially interesting for those who love logic- and strategy-oriented games and are good at math."
Rahul, who declined to be identified by his full name, is among more than 50,000 people who play on homegrown online poker startups such as Adda52, PokerBaazi and Spartan Poker every month. Several of these bootstrapped platforms make profits on annual revenues of at least Rs 5 crore.
"Online poker is a profit-making model," said Rajat Agarwal, co-founder of Spartan Poker. Though it is difficult to estimate the size of India's online poker industry, according to Agarwal, reports last year pegged it at about $110-120 million. That may seem a small size for a largely profit-making industry but the potential isn't lost to outsiders.
In September, hospitality company Delta Corp bought Adda52 for Rs 155 crore in a stock-and-cash deal. The financials secured the deal.
According to Delta Corp Chief Financial Officer Hardik Dhebar, Adda52 was a debt-free and cash generating online poker startup that clocked revenues of Rs 47 crore in calendar year 2015 with core operational (EBITDA) margin of 30-35%.
"We received a seed investment five years ago from Indian Angel Network when we started and we saw stable, year-on-year growth," said Anuj Gupta, co-founder of Adda52. "Besides focusing spends on a strong software, we had to focus on Google adverts maximisation and using the right (search engine optimisation) techniques… Also, not hiring excessively and being one of the first to enter the market in India helped."
According to Kolkata-based professional poker player Aditya Agarwal, who began playing over a decade ago while studying in the US, India has only about 1,000 professional poker players, 95% of them male.
"I recently heard of a group of poker players in Varanasi. The sport has definitely come a long way since I started playing. It's becoming increasingly common to hear of online players cashing out anywhere between Rs 50,000 to over Rs 1 lakh during tournaments," said Agarwal, who was roped in during January 2015 as the first Indian player for the world's largest online poker site, PokerStars.
Agarwal made headlines in July last year when he won $96,445 at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, considered one of the biggest poker tournaments.
Delhi-based Nikita Luther is among the few women playing professional poker and was recently selected to play for and represent Adda52.
"When you see universities like Harvard and MIT include poker as a course, one understands that if it has been recognised as a skill-based game on a global level, it's a matter of time before India acknowledges it too," said Luther.
And there's the rub. The main challenges for poker startups lie in ridding the negative image associated with the sport and getting authorities to recognise it as a game of skill and not gambling, which is mostly disallowed in India.
"In the first year, when my brother and I set up PokerBaazi, our family wanted nothing to do with it because of the taboo associated with poker," said co-founder Puneet Singh. "Over the course of the year, we did gain their support as we focussed on increasing awareness about the game, such as viewing parameters like memory, the mathematics of the game and player psychology being important."
He's hopeful state governments, too, will come around. "As the number of startups increases in this space, we also see a slow but gradual improvement in the regulatory issues surrounding the sport, where it's not being viewed as a gambling sport but a skill-based game," said Singh.
In October 2013, The Indian Poker Association, in petitions filed before the Karnataka High Court, complained that the police were harassing poker players by filing cases against them and raiding poker clubs. The court "ruled that playing skill games like poker in recreational clubs is permitted and no licence is required for the same", said KN Suresh, secretary of The Indian Poker Association.
West Bengal excludes card games such as rummy, bridge and poker from the definition of gambling, although permission is required from district magistrates and commissioners for conducting competitions in public. In Goa, poker is permitted in casinos. Nagaland passed a law this year legalising skill-based online games.
This "includes poker and is the first step towards improving legality hurdles online poker startups face in India", said Jay Sayta, secretary of the All India Gaming Federation and founder of gaming laws website Glaws.in.
According to Vidushpat Singhania, partner at Krida Legal, other states operate in a grey area. "Assam and Odisha are the only two states that indicate there is no exception for games of skills within the gambling Act. Besides Karnataka, West Bengal and Nagaland, the Gujarat High Court has asked the state government to clarify its stance on poker and the Kerala government is considering if the game can be classified as a one of skill. It's a slow process but poker is gradually getting noticed," said Singhania.
With gradual regulatory acceptance, and post Delta's acquisition of Adda52, more investors are eyeing the mostly bootstrapped online poker sector.
"The online poker startup space has most likely not seen investor interest yet because of the lack of understanding in terms of regulatory issues, but with increasing state-level acceptance and mostly profitable models in the space it's a sector where investors can expect healthy returns," said Alok Mittal, founding board member at Indian Angel Network, who led the seed investment in Adda52. "Venture capital and angel investor interest in the space will pick up soon."

To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 13 January 1821
From Thomas Jefferson
Monticello Jan. 13. 21.
I return you mr. Coxe's letter1 without saying I have read it. I made out enough to see that it was about the Missouri question, and the printed paper told me on which side he was. Could I have devoted a day to it, by interlining the words as I could pick them out, I might have got at more. The lost books of Livy or Tacitus might be worth this. Our friend would do well to write less and write plainer.
I am sorry to hear of the situation of your family, and the more so as that species of fever is dangerous in the hands of our medical boys. I am not a physician & still less a quack but I may relate a fact. While I was at Paris, both my daughters were taken with what we formerly called a nervous fever, now a typhus, distinguished very certainly by a thread-like pulse, low, quick and every now and then fluttering. Dr. Gem,2 an English physician, old, & of great experience, & certainly the ablest I ever met with, attended them. The one was about 5. or 6. weeks ill, the other 10. years old was 8. or ten weeks. He never gave them a single dose of physic. He told me it was a disease which tended with certainty to wear itself off, but so slowly that the strength of the patient might first fail if not kept up. That this alone was the object to be attended to by nourishment and stimulus. He forced them to eat a cup of rice, or panada, or gruel, or of some of the farinaceous substance of easy digestion every 2. hours and to drink a glass of Madeira, the youngest took a pint of Madeira a day without feeling it and that for many weeks. For costiveness, injections were used; and he observed that a single dose of medicine taken into the stomach and consuming any of the strength of the patient was often fatal. He was attending a grandson of Mde. Helvetius,3 of 10. years old at the same time, & under the same disease. The boy got so low that the old lady became alarmed and wished to call in another physician for consultation. Gem consented. That physician gave a gentle purgative, but it exhausted what remained of strength, and the patient expired in a few hours.
I have had this fever in my family 3. or 4. times since I have lived at home, and have carried between 20. & 30. patients thro' it without losing a single one, by a rigorous observance of Gem's plan and principle. Instead of Madeira I have used toddy of French brandy about as strong as Madeira. Brown preferred this stimulus to Madeira. I rarely had a case, if taken in hand early, to last above 1. 2. or 3. weeks, except a single one of 7. weeks, in whom, when I thought him near his last, I discovered a change in his pulse to regularity, and in 12 hours he was out of danger. I vouch for these facts only, not for their theory. You may, on their authority, think it expedient to try a single case before it has shewn signs of danger.
On the portentous question before Congress, I think our Holy alliance4 will find themselves so embarrassed with the difficulties presented to them as to find their solution only in yielding to Missouri her entrance on the same footing with the other states, that is to say with the right to admit or exclude slaves at her own discretion. Ever & affectionately yours
Th: Jefferson
P.S. I should have observed that the same typhus fever prevailed in my neighborhood at the same times as in my family, and that it was very fatal in the hands of our Philadelphia Tyros.
