When did you last go to the library? Why did you go there? There are at least nine reasons to visit your library.
I have loved the library since at least first grade. I was an early reader and borrowed books from our little classroom library. One day our entire class walked to the city public library to explore it and receive our first library cards. Over the years I discovered the library had much, much more to offer than just books. Even though, books alone are a motivating attraction for me. Every genre of magazine can also be found and borrowed from the library.
Yes, I love books. They can be found in every room of my house. In the living room the end tables are usually covered in stacks of books. I also have a small table, which I call the library table. Presently, it is where I store all my durable cardboard books for the youngest grandchildren. In the past it is where I stored all the books we brought home from the public library. Keeping them in one place prevented losing them in random places.
Most libraries are part of a network allowing them to borrow for you from other libraries. Even if your town has a small library, it may have access to larger libraries. The majority of libraries are also online making searches and reservations very easy.
My second favorite thing to borrow from the library is audio books. These are especially wonderful for car trips. We recently took a long trip with my parents. We all thoroughly enjoyed listening to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and I'll Walk Alone by Mary Higgins Clark. A favorite audio book that was listened to at least a dozen times by our youngest son was Who Was That Masked Man Anyway. Audio books help even a reluctant reader to love books.
Some libraries have electronic books. Games and learning manipulatives for young children are often available. Computers, computer games and the internet are accessible which is very helpful when your home computer or internet is not functioning properly. I have used library internet in other towns while traveling.
One year my daughter participated in a library program called Battle of the Books where she was on a school team that read and studied a huge list of books. They competed against other teams with questions about details and comprehension of the books.
My youngest son was not a strong reader but loved graphic novels (comics). Even he learned to love the library.
There was a program in the grade school I attended called picture lady. A mom brought into the class a large piece of framed art and led the class in a discussion of the piece. Our library in Wheaton, IL had a large collection of framed art. I was able to recreate that program with my children in our home. My children enjoyed taking turns selecting the pieces which we hung over the fireplace mantle in the living room for four to eight weeks at a time. We discussed the colors and mood of the piece even when we did not have knowledge of the artist or the style.
We have borrowed hundreds, maybe thousands, of movies from the library. We continue to do this. These varied from Magic School Bus and other educational programs to black and white classics such as Fred MacMurray's, Follow Me Boys, to current films.
Well, have I convinced you to go to your local library yet?
Cuddle time reading to your own babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and even independent readers is precious time. It is a time for instilling security and love for stories. It teaches pre-reading skills such as handling a book properly and progressing from left to right. Reading expands the imagination, enlarges the vocabulary, develops the mind, and takes you to places all over the globe and beyond. Read to your children.
One more thought: If you have a bookworm, encourage them to bicycle to the library for fresh air and exercise. My second son, a voracious reader, enjoyed doing both.
Is Easter a favorite holiday for you? Why? I confess I love the jelly beans and malted eggs, but not the Peeps. I despise plastic "grass", which like Christmas tree needles can be found in odd places months after the holiday. Yet, I love Easter for its deep spiritual meaning and its fun associated activities.
As a child, Easter was about the candy and the new outfit. The outfit included ruffled socks, white patent leather buckle shoes, ruffled under pants, a full slip, a dress, a hat, a purse and gloves. We usually shopped at Sears for the outfit. Yes, we died eggs, had an egg hunt outside (weather permitting), received a multi-colored fake-straw basket full of candy and we went to church. I do not recall any emphasis on the Easter bunny. We knew all our gifts were from our parents.
My mom, pregnant with my brother, my 5 year old sister, and me at almost 3. The coursages were from my daddy.
As an adult, I still like the candy. But now the special ham dinner with the family is more important to me. Even though I don't like coconut, a Lamb cake is the perfect dessert because it represents Jesus as the perfect Lamb of God sacrificed to take away our sins. I savor Easter worship, and if I can also include a Good Friday or Maundy Thursday worship, those are a welcome bonus. I appreciate my Catholic friends' attitude about, and reverence towards Holy Week, which goes from Palm Sunday to Easter.
As a parent I used green cloth to line multi-colored plastic baskets that I filled with candy, added a few half-dollars, and sometimes a Christian music CD or DVD. I don't recall when or why I started giving half-dollars, but they were happily accepted. The baskets were presented on Good Friday or Saturday so that candy was not the highlight of Easter Sunday. I generally bought my children a new outfit but not of the same caliber or level of fancifulness as what I wore as a child.
doesn't every boy wish for a pirate patch in his basket?
I think I enjoyed the egg hunts as much as my children. I still enjoy hosting them for my grandchildren. At an outdoor hunt there is always the risk that some egg will not be found till August. Hopefully that egg is not the one with the money in it. At my hunts, I do not let all the children begin hunting at the same time but let the youngest start first and give him or her a few minutes of hunting before allowing the next oldest to begin. Staggering their starts even just a few minutes apart prevents the oldest child from quickly finding all the easily hidden eggs which the youngest child needs.
Melt the chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Pour in the dry noodles. Mix well enough to cover the noodles.
Drop by the heaping tablespoon onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Add 3-5 eggs (jelly beans) onto each nest. Put in refrigerator to harden.
Did you ever steal anything when you were a kid? Have your children ever stolen anything? Have you had anything stolen from you? What happened?
As a child I was guilty on two counts. Once while shopping with a friend at the local Ben Franklin I spied a bi-colored colored pencil. It was red on one end and blue on the other. I really wanted it. So I simply picked it up and walked out of the store. Then I laid it on the ground, and after my friend exited the store I pretended to find the pencil on the ground and kept it. But my conscience would not be quiet and so somewhere along the route home I purposely dropped it. I do not know the price of the single pencil but I am guessing it was well under a dollar. I had probably just spent that much on candy in the store. Another time I stole a piece of chocolate candy from a convenience store. It was an Ice Cubes chocolate square ("German Milk Chocolate Ice Cubes Melt in Your Mouth"). I think I ate it quickly before my conscience took over.
One day our son came in the house with a twenty dollar bill which he said the neighbor boy had given to him. I wanted to know why. What did he want you to do to be given the money? Nothing. Something was wrong with that picture. I went to the neighbor's house and discovered his son had helped himself to all the paper bills in Dad's wallet while dad was napping. The money was returned.
When our two middle boys were teens a friend stole some money from their room. At the time he vehemently denied it and trust was broken. We all felt violated and betrayed. Years later he confessed to stealing from them. Truth eventually wins.
Stealing is wrong. It is a punishable crime. Even within our homes amongst family members it is wrong. When discovered, it must be dealt with seriously. Always consider the child's character and heart when deciding upon appropriate correction. I also believe punishments should fit the crimes. Confession regarding the theft to a family member or a store or other victim can be humbling and a deterrent to future incidents. An apology is suitable. Restitution should be made. The one who stole should return the item if possible or pay to replace it. Parents should not overlook stealing or bail their child out of facing consequences for their actions. Sparing their child or themselves the embarrassment of confession will be a disservice to them. It is better to deal directly with a problem while it is still a small problem.
In the adult world stealing leads to jail time. No one is getting arrested for stealing cookies from the cookie jar at home, but shopping lifting, employees taking home work supplies, tax evasion, and reusing postage stamps is on the rise. Beware.
Every time a grown child moves out there are noticeable changes. It was most obvious when #1 departed for college and when #5, the last one, moved away after community college. Here are a few observations I have made.
Food and toiletries last much longer.
No need to close internal doors.
Plenty of wifi and data.
No shuffling of cars in the driveway.
Only 2-3 loads of laundry per week, as compared to the "high-water" mark of 12 loads per week.
House stays much cleaner much longer.
No lying awake in bed waiting for the last kid to come home and turn off the hall light.
No excuses for buying Pop Tarts and Oreos.
But sometimes they come back. Plans change or things don't work out as expected. Sometimes they come back multiple times. (#4 did!) That new guest room or office space is reconverted to a bedroom. They can do their own laundry and the increase in groceries and utilities isn't so bad. After all, it is only a season and they will be gone again. It is rather nice having them around for a time. I kind of like some of their music and movies. Someday the move out will become permanent. It is hard to let the last one really go even though that is our goal and I know it is good for him.

6,500 New Pickup Trucks Are Sold Every Day in America
That's 270 per hour, if you were wondering.
byCaleb Jacobs| UPDATED May 10, 2021 9:09 PM
Pickup trucks rule the roost in American auto sales. Good old dusty boots 'Murica stalwart the Ford F-Series consistently break records year in and year out, beating even common commuter cars in terms of units moved. You probably knew that already, but here's the more shocking fact, revealed when you break sales down to a simple daily measure. According to a recent study by Automotive News Data Center, the big three pickup manufacturers (Ford, GM, and Ram Trucks) sell an average of 6,500 trucks every day.
And that's not even accounting for the days that dealerships are closed. That's an even breakdown of units sold divided by 365 days in a year—equating to a figure that's pretty mind-boggling. That's 130 trucks sold in every state every day.
Collectively, the daily sales count per Detroit manufacturer goes as follows:
Ford: 2,452
Chevrolet/GMC: 1,935
Ram: 1,647
Without figuring in actual business hours, Ford sells 102 pickups every 60 minutes. Ram follows up with 69 trucks sold per hour, and GM round things out with a still-impressive pickup per minute pace.
When you take Toyota and Nissan into account, they sell a cumulative 15,000 additional pickups per month. Even though that result isn't as eye-popping as the big three's, it makes up about 500 trucks sold per day.
The Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck for 40 years in a row, and it's been an overall top seller in America for 35 of those.
KBB
May marks the third month that Ram has beat Chevrolet on the sales floor, capturing GM's longtime runner-up slot.
These numbers are expected to increase over the next few years, and with fuel prices so low, more consumers are buying big than ever before. Ford aims to sell 1 million trucks annually, and although they sold 820,799 in 2016, the 7-figure target is within reach over the next few years.
Don't expect a downward trend anytime soon. The OEMs will push for even bigger sales numbers in the coming months.

Haskell, Alexander Cheves
September 22, 1839–April 13, 1910
In 1876 Haskell helped organize the aggressive Red Shirt campaign that brought a narrow victory for Wade Hampton in the race for governor; he was also a prominent business leader in the state for several decades.
Soldier, legislator, businessman. Born on September 22, 1839, at his family's summer retreat, the Cabins, near Abbeville, Haskell was one of eleven children born to Charles Thomson Haskell and Sophia Cheves. He studied under private tutors and later attended a private school in Charleston before matriculating to the University of South Carolina in 1856, graduating second in his class in 1860.
Haskell enlisted with South Carolina forces at the beginning of the Civil War and soon became a regimental adjutant. He served with the Army of Northern Virginia for most of the war. By March 1864 he had attained the rank of colonel and taken command of the Seventh South Carolina Cavalry. He was wounded four times. The fourth wound, in October 1864, resulted in the loss of his left eye, but he rejoined his regiment in time for Robert E. Lee's last campaign and the surrender at Appomattox.
During Reconstruction, Haskell practiced several professions and played an important role in state politics. He taught school and practiced law in Abbeville from 1865 to 1867, while also serving in the state House of Representatives. He was elected a district court judge in 1867 but resigned his judgeship the same year to accept a law professorship at South Carolina College. In 1868 he resigned his professorship, as required, to serve as a presidential elector in the national election. He then opened a law office in Columbia.
In 1876 Haskell chaired the Democratic Party's State Executive Committee and helped organize the aggressive Red Shirt campaign that brought a narrow victory for Wade Hampton in the race for governor. With the election results disputed, Haskell became the emissary to President Ulysses Grant to press the claims of the Hampton administration. He later became an associate justice on the state supreme court, where he served from 1877 to 1880.
By 1890 Ben Tillman and his supporters had taken control of the Democratic Party and secured for Tillman the Democratic nomination for governor. Haskell bolted the party and ran against Tillman as an Independent, or "straight-out" Democrat. He appealed to black voters, but promised them little. Even many conservatives reluctantly backed Tillman, the mainline Democrat, rather than risk dividing the party and jeopardizing white rule. Haskell lost decisively, 59,159 to 14,828. He later helped organize the State newspaper in Columbia, which consistently opposed Tillman and his allies.
Haskell was a prominent business leader in the state for several decades. In the 1870s and 1880s he served as president of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. He became the first president of the Loan and Exchange Bank of Columbia in 1886 and was a leading banker in the state until his death. He married twice. On September 10, 1861, he wed Rebecca "Decca" Singleton, but she died in June 1862 just days after giving birth to a daughter. On November 23, 1870, Haskell married Alice V. Alexander, with whom he had ten children. Haskell died on April 13, 1910, in Columbia and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

Saving your game in the outskirts of Lumiose City may render your game unplayable.
Here's a quick PSA for anyone who's currently enjoying Pokemon X and Y: some users are reporting a game-breaking bug involving saving the game in the outskirts of Lumiose City. If the bug happens to you, your game freezes, and restarting the game causes it to just freeze again whenever it loads the save, effectively forcing you to delete your save file in order to progress.
A video of the glitch appeared on YouTube, with other players reporting the same bug on gamefaqs.com. Users who have encountered the bug stress that there is "no workaround" and deleting your save data is the only way to get your game running again.
Specifically, the error occurs when you save the game in the the outside streets area of Lumiose City, the major capital city in the new games. The glitch seems to be affecting both physical and digital versions of the game.
We've reached out to Nintendo for an official comment on the glitch and its plans for a bug-fixing patch, but until we hear back from them, it's probably best to avoid saving in Lumiose City just to be on the safe side.

Whether you only have a simple corporate Thai website as your main digital asset or you spend a lot of money on Google advertising, native advertising platforms, popular messaging apps like Line, ads on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn and so on, you must have fully grasped this idea that digital marketing is reaching new heights each year and will do so for a long time to come, especially in fast-developing countries like Thailand.
It's already 2019 so you must have guessed new and more advanced digital marketing tools and strategies must be around the corner to give a push to your business and have more solid foundations in the digital realm.
Digital marketing is becoming increasingly not a choice but something brands and businesses must do in order to not get behind their competitors. Businesses are spending more money on digital advertising every year to promote the brands and product to increase their profits. For example, Google's revenue is increasing at least 21% per year for a number of successive years with 85.8% of it being the revenue generated in their advertising business which also increased 20% in 2018 compared to 2017. This massive revenue proves that things are getting more competitive every day and this is where the need for diversity in digital marketing campaign strategies rises.
Smartphones are increasingly being used for voice search as it is easy and convenient. According to data's published by Google at least 20% of searches are being done with voice search. In addition to that, the trend of smart speakers and smart household appliances will also add up to the users who choose to search like this. It is predicted that this number will be increased to 50% by 2020. This creates new digital marketing opportunities for businesses to grow their markets.
Video marketing is one of the tools that is becoming more and more popular with digital marketers. It is so big that we have written a dedicated article about this. Click here to read the full analysis of this trend.
Programmatic advertising has been a big thing in the past year and based on our assessment it will be raising in popularity among marketers in 2019 and beyond. According to the latest report by E-Marketer 83.6% of all display marketing activities across the USA will be done through programmatic advertising. It is important for companies to outsource some counseling on this subject so they won't breach any laws or regulations while engaging in such activities.
Latest data suggest that more and more companies are making use of advanced AI-powered platforms to increase profitability and reach their target audience more effectively. According to Blueshift, more than 43% of marketers are using AI to expand their audience and reach while 39% are using it for effective user targeting. this method helps marketers understand their audience and their behavior more thoroughly so they can strategize their campaigns and promotion activities more effectively. This would result in more engagement and more definitive reach for sure.
Internet users are looking for easier and more effortless ways to reach out for information as time passes. This will result in more businesses focusing on visual search which can facilitate that process effortlessly. EmarketandMarket predicts that spending in this area would hugely increase by 2019 with an estimated 25.65 Billion dollars in spending. By making use of visual search, users will be able to find products the see at stores or find the menu items in their favorite restaurant with just one click. Humans are visual creatures and it's about time that this is used by marketers more effectively to increase profitability.
It is predicted that the world's number one social media platform will continue its decline during 2019 in all age groups except +55 users which will keep their engagement to the same level. Data suggest that at least 43% of users have taken breaks from Facebook that lasted more than a week and 26% have removed the app from their smartphones which is some bad news for the internet giant.


The area marked in blue by this map is approximately where Thelen had earlier thought it would begin mining. The company now wants to begin mining in the area marked by red. Locations shown in this map are approximate. /underlying map from Google Maps.
Thelen Sand and Gravel won approval from the Twin Lakes Plan Commission Wednesday to change where it will begin mining operations on property it owns in Twin Lakes.
Thelen in 2006 filed a plan to begin extracting of minerals from property it owns north of Highway C in the area of Highway KD and Highway C.
Instead, it would now like to mine from property it owns south of Highway C and north of Highway CK west of Fox River Road.
Robert Procter, an attorney representing Thelen at the Plan Commission meeting, said the change is driven by the company currently extracting materials on property in Illinois closer to the more southerly property in Wisconsin. That made starting farther south among the Wisconsin properties more feasible.
Plan Commission members agreed that the change was not a substantial deviation. A resolution to that effect was approved by a unanimous voice vote of the commission Wednesday.
"To me, there's no problem," said commission member Richard Diedrich.
Thelen now will also need approvals from Kenosha County before it can start mining, Procter said.
About 20 people attended the meeting, most of them from Randall.
Randall town Chairman Bob Stoll said after the meeting that Randall residents in nearby neighborhoods would likely favor the mining operations beginning farther south, as Thelen is now proposing.
The Thelen owned properties were annexed into the village after opposition to mining surfaced among Randall residents.

Counting calories is out; keeping an eye on the glycemic index (GI) is in. What exactly is the GI? The glycemic index is a way of ranking foods based on how quickly the carbohydrates enter your bloodstream and how much they affect your blood sugar. In a nutshell, the lower a food's GI, the easier it is for your body to process it. And here's the kicker: Canadian researchers have discovered that women lose up to 60 percent more weight plus double their energy levels when they focus on eating low-GI foods, instead of counting calories. What's more, eating low-GI foods can do more for your body than just aid in speedier weight loss.

Many people, when beginning the regimen, suffer from 'keto flu', which includes symptoms like listlessness, lack of energy, insomnia and digestive complaints ranging from constipation to diarrhea. Fitness and gym freaks may experience loss in muscle mass as well as finding their workouts far more exhausting. Kidney stones are also a distressingly common side-effect of the keto diet and people might have to take mineral and vitamin supplements to off-set the lack of carbohydrates and other nutrients. Experts say that the body grows accustomed as time goes by, and followers report subsequent increase in energy and fitness levels after an adjustment period. As with most diet plans, there are different variations of the keto diet that one can follow. While those mentioned below are the most commonly followed plans, individuals may need to tweak the eating regimen to suit their bodies, lifestyle choices and convenience. • Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This comprises a minimal-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. Typical nutrition intake is 75% fat, 20% protein, with 5% carbs. • High-protein ketogenic diet: While similar to the standard ketogenic diet, this includes higher amounts of protein. The ratio typically comprises 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs. • Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This plan comprises periods of higher carbohydrate intakes, ideally 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days.

Being an Architect/Being a Writer: Ian Ritchie and Witold Rybczynski in Conversation
By Witold Rybczynski September 30, 2014
British architect-educator-author Ian Ritchie talks to U.S. architect-educator-author Witold Rybczynski about Ritchie's career, including the making of his latest book, a two-volume opus; the favorite project he didn't get to build; and why he writes poetry.
Being: An Architect, volumes 1 and 2, by Ian Ritchie and Roger Connah, designed by James Ritchie, 2014 (Royal Academy of Arts)
Witold Rybczynski: This is an unconventional book—not exactly a memoir, but with a lot of personal information; not exactly a monograph, but a diary of the work of Ian Ritchie Architects; and not a theoretical book, but with a certain amount of reflection about the profession and practice of architecture. Could you talk about how this all came together?

Ian Ritchie: I wanted to write my memoirs for my family and I did not want to leave an incomplete manuscript. I recalled the fact that my erstwhile partner, the brilliant engineer Peter Rice had not completed his own memoirs, An Engineer Imagines, to a publishable state before he died. I shared in the creation of Rice Francis Ritchie—a design engineering practice set up in Paris in 1981 to work on the La Villette Cité des Sciences, and which subsequently contributed to most of President Mitterrand's Grands Projets, including working with I. M. Pei on the Louvre Pyramid
Having decided to write my memoirs, I was impressed by Roger Connah's book Writing Architecture (awarded First Prize, International Book Award in Architectural Theory and Criticism 1987–90 by CICA, the International Committee of Architectural Critics), which I had come across in a bookshop in Milan in 1999. It is a very heavy book, with 463 pages, and is described as an odyssey across 20th-century architecture through the buildings and writings of Reima Pietilä—a hugely respected Finnish architect but to some extent an outsider, a cult figure or even a shaman. Each page spread in this book appeared as if one were looking, day by day, at the surface of this fascinating architect's "desk"—a collage of extracts of music, photographs of people and buildings, sketches, texts, and poetry. Perhaps I have a cooler aesthetic approach, for at times I found the book a little difficult to read. However, a seed was sown.

I contacted Roger and explained that rather than follow a classic biographical model I wanted to explore other ways of writing an "archiography." I wanted to present the story of my life as an architect but enriched with an openness about how I start to think about a project—writing (often poetry) before drawing, engaging with colleagues, learning from others, collaborating, exploring and expanding design horizons—and also to reveal the important social and ethical concerns that seem so distant in today's stand-alone architectures. Monographs have never appealed to me because they are usually anesthetized versions of reality, and emotionless. They are for marketing purposes. I wanted to include both successes and failures, and the struggle that so often accompanies the realization of the architectural dream—so central to being an architect.

I was lucky, or observant enough, to recognize in Roger Connah's writings an analytical, questioning approach similar to my own. This was borne out during the ensuing years as the book began to take shape. He saw how I try to promote the "complete" architect—comfortable in thinking, composing, and making in the physical and virtual worlds—with all the skills. This completeness, passion, and breadth of activity is what I wanted to convey in the book.
WR: Being: An Architect has two authors; there are alternating chapters by you and Roger Connah. Could you talk about how you decided on this unusual organizational device?
IR: I start all projects without preconception. When beginning this book, it was the same. I had no preconceived idea of its structure, content, or title. I followed my intuition—sensing that there were professional, pedagogic, technical, artistic, and ethical aspects to this project. Also, during my entire career I had received very little architectural criticism other than from those within the studio. I sensed that a critical overview of the young maverick turning professional and then trying hard to deliver dreams required a critic, and one prepared to get to know the author of the work and his working methods and those of his practice.

Roger Connah
Roger recognized the merit in this and explored many scenarios as he began mapping my professional career. We enjoyed sparring on and off during the following years, challenging ideas, the writings, and criticisms—often from a pedagogical viewpoint. He came to the studio several times, attended some of my lectures, and met independently with a few of our clients. The structure began to emerge through the idea of the critic introducing my texts—placing them in a wider context for the reader. Later, it was decided to reverse this order in the second volume, with Roger's short essays completing rather than introducing my texts. We realized that the material began organizing itself into two parts: my life as "Being" (Volume 1, about the person) and as "Architect" (Volume 2, critiques on architecture, theory, ethics, etc.). This became the title, and by opting for two volumes it allowed space for images, interlude essays and poems, my texts and lectures, Roger's critical overviews, and for a documenta—a reference for researchers—to be added at the end. It also meant that each volume was a comfortable size to hold.
WR: In the book you describe an episode in the early days of Ian Ritchie Architects (1989) when you invited a number of architects to the office to discuss the question of whether the firm needed to have an identifiable style to be successful. Peter Cook, Cedric Price, Deyan Sudjic, and Peter Rice all thought that the future of architecture would favor a practice with a "house style." Yet you decided not to pursue a single distinctive design approach. Could you talk about this decision?
IR: It was very personal, but we had begun to discuss this within the studio. I had seen the media targeting the world of design and architecture and its personalities. Film, theater, fashion—fields that need to promote icons and rely on the media—had become not exactly passé, but the media needed new "heroes." I had always explored, and in architecture, as in some other fields, exploration requires design freedom—which implies no preconception. I accept that many architects and artists can develop a style, refine it—in fact need it almost to define themselves. I may have been informed and influenced by hi-tech, but I knew that my imagination had a more expansive alphabet.
I am not critical of those architects known for their style, but it is not something I could live with personally. If I woke in the morning and the next project were already preconceived because of my style of design I would feel mentally dead. I do not know what I am going to imagine or execute tomorrow. Life does not deliver such guarantees so developing a style becomes a bit like an insurance policy against life's un-insurability. It may work and comfort many designers, but for me it becomes boring. I do not want to know what I will do tomorrow, and this keeps life and design vital—independent of fame, money, and media interest.

WR: You write: "I decided that the studio would shut out the world of the design media, even though I understood that both image and personality were becoming the essential ingredients and culture of the professional press, and a powerful tool in the marketing of architects." Do you still feel this way about the media? What are the trade-offs of keeping a low profile, positive and negative?
IR: Yes, that was 25 years ago. I know that all journalists survive on nudges, whispers, leaks, and reported conversations from secondary sources to build an incomplete picture, but I had always expected a little more from those that report on the profession of architecture. I was deceived in 1990 by someone I had respected and trusted as a writer and a journalist. That does not mean I do not have a few friends in the media, but I choose not to engage them in our private design world until the project is realized, and then only if the client wishes or encourages it.
The media is probably even more invasive now, but perhaps our "bastion" is not as strong, as we, like every other designer, have become our own publisher through the web. Obviously, viewed from outside of our practice, keeping the media at bay would appear to be a perverse decision because every architect and designer wants as much publicity as he or she can get. I took the view that "time"—time together with my colleagues—was precious, a peaceful sanctuary where we could develop and research ideas without the need to service the media. The media sucks time. We have never had a press department. For me that is not what architecture is about—that is about profile, public perception, and business. I did not create a studio to grow the bank account, but to grow minds, our social responsibility, and to improve the environment we live in, and to have fun together.
WR: You include both built and unbuilt works. What is the favorite "one that got away"? Why?
IR: The National Maritime Museum of the Boat, which we were commissioned to design in 1984, is one of several wonderful projects that escaped. The brief required spaces in which to fabricate replica ethnographic boats inspired from around the world and to exhibit and launch them, and to provide a social and information center for the great yacht races—Volvo Ocean Race (then known as the Whitbread Round the World Race), Route du Rhum, etc. The commission came from the director of the National Maritime Museum, Neil Cossons, who went on to direct the Science Museum and then to chair English Heritage.

At the time I was also a director of RFR, a design engineering firm in Paris working at La Villette, the new French Cité des Sciences. There I had met the young American landscape architect, Kathryn Gustafson, and it was she who told me about the Land artists—Walter De Maria, Robert Smithson, et al. The concept evolved into a semi-buried, non-air conditioned architecture, which enabled the whole composition to become a landscape and enlarge the public park on the edge of the Thames opposite the beautiful Wren-designed Greenwich Naval College.
Not only does this design remain one of our favorites—and I say this on behalf of my colleagues who have remained with me since then—but I'm guessing if it had been built it would have positioned our practice, then only three years old, near the front stage of creative architects and it may have shortened the wait before receiving our first major UK commission in 1987.
WR: Ian Ritchie Architects has done some very large projects, although yours is not an extremely large office. Could you talk about how you organize the work and how the office functions? At one point you mention that you decided not to take on any projects whose site was more than 4 hours of travel time from your office in London. Have you followed this rule?
IR: What is a large project? It is usually measured by the construction cost. Currently we have several projects at various stages of realization totaling about $500 million in construction value, including a Neuroscience Research Laboratory in London ($125 million) which is almost complete, and an industrial heritage scheme in Malta ($170 million) in its early stages. We led the design of a billion-dollar project (1998–2005)—directing more than 70 different consultancy firms—at Westfield London (formerly White City for Chelsfield). We had more 70 architects in three cities working on it seamlessly.

The scale did challenge our structure but did not change the ethos of the practice, as, during the period of this project (1998–2005) we completed several significant projects—Spire of Dublin, Alba di Milano millennium light monument, the exhibition "Blue-Gold" at the Oberhausen Gasometer, London Regatta Centre, and Plymouth Theatre Royal Production Centre—as well as research and development, masterplans, and several competitions.
The structure to do this, and one which allows us keeps our London studio at about the same number over the past 20 years, is based on accepting that our studio is, for some, a "finishing school" and accepts that those with exceptional talent will want to start their own practices. The idea first happened at the end of the Leipzig Glass Hall project and it has ensured that since 1996 our practice in London has remained relatively stable while expansion occurs in "sister" offices in Europe, directed by former, very talented colleagues who had worked with us for quite a few years in London.

These are autonomous practices with their own name. Helping the next generation is vital, and the payback for us in London is that they do help whenever the "elder statesmen" have need. What they need is independence and support, and what our practice does not need is European or global expansionism with a nametag/brand attached. That is not architecture but a business/marketing concept. This approach reflects the fact that I have tried to maintain a four-hour journey from studio to site by whatever means of transport is appropriate, and only exceptionally further—for example, we did accept the invitation to compete for the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum's new courtyard in 2004, and I have been to Hong Kong recently—partly due to the presence there of a former studio colleague, and partly because we were invited.
WR: All large building projects require a design team, but your idea of teamwork is more than just having a lot of consultants. Could you talk about that?
IR: The project is central. It is through the project, not my project or your project, but the project. No one owns the project. I talk of the triangle of confidence: client, design team, and contractor. The lines that join us are the lines of trust. If one breaks, the project becomes a nightmare for one of the parties, if not all. Selfishness, or super-ego, is not in the interest of the client or the project. It might be the architect, or a contractor trying to exploit a situation to increase his or her bottom line—i.e., not focusing on the project but on individual interests.

For the design team to act as one, all ideas are placed into the design arena with a sense of sharing, examining, and ultimately agreeing what is right. All our projects start by having all the key people at the table from the beginning. At times this may include people with skills outside the normal convention—an artist, a poet, a musician; at each stage of a project certain skills have to come to the fore. It is our role as design team leader to ensure that everyone genuinely feels they are at the party when it starts—and feels comfortable contributing to design disciplines other than their own. For our first session together on the Neuroscience project (about to be completed) we invited everyone to come with their sense of what the project might be about. Some came with photos, others with texts and poems. It was a way for all to have an appreciation of the other members of the team—where their minds were at, and who, if any had already formulated design pre-conceptions!
WR: Like many British architects of your generation, you have pursued advanced building technology as a touchstone in making buildings. Yet technology does not appear to drive your work, which is often handled with a light, even poetic touch.
IR: I am a generation younger than Foster, Rogers, and Piano, all of whom found both the Eames approach to design and assembly and the Ehrenkrantz School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) so attractive. Whether this was advanced building technology or finding off-the peg industrial products that could be dry-, pre-, or site-assembled is a question. What was clear was the fact that there was an aesthetic decision involved. Systems thinking abounded in the U.S. in the late 1960s and the idea that architectural construction could be an assembly system had appeal, for it chimed with the other drivers of the time—efficiency of means, economy, and efficient delivery—often quoted as analogous to car and airplane fabrication. The mantra was sold.
I have written much on this subject, but the essence is that there is an aesthetic predilection for dry-assembly and that the language of construction is visible in its totality and in its detail—that is, the architecture is coherent at every level.
As time went by the influence of this on me waned and my own ideas became more mature, and the potential of composing with a deeper understanding of materials, of light, of long life and low maintenance began to find expression.

Understanding technology means first trying to understand material at the molecular level—how molecules combine and separate (chemistry)—then working with this knowledge to choose the right materials and combinations and finding better ways of predicting their long-term behavior. This is not what advanced technology or hi-tech presents to us. In contrast, today's technology is invisible, and thus does not attract the architect, for there is no aesthetic to latch on to. I do not find the physical and visible construction technology of the curved or warped surface that interesting. Although often spectacular, it says "Do not touch me" to the neighboring building, perhaps a metaphor of the selfish world that we appear to increasingly inhabit at every level?
WR: Being: An Architect includes previously published essays on a wide variety of subjects. One of the chapters is titled "Why I Write." So, why do you write?
IR: I love words. They are at the root of our communication and culture. Books are central to our existence. To write without reason is difficult, to write without imagination is impossible, and memories are essential to knowing and grounding oneself at any given time. Good books have these characteristics.
I enjoy poetry and find writing poetry the most challenging. I enjoy removing the superficial—the reductive process. Perhaps this is also why aphorisms appeal too. To find a sharpness or crispness is vital in writing, as it is in architecture. This is an aesthetic position, where the right words are in the right place and convey the essential I am seeking. It is not the absence of words, but simply the presence of the right ones, communicating with clarity what the mind has seen. Inevitably they reveal something about the person and the way they think and feel.
I believe that the architectural poem, the brush stroke that follows—calligraphic architecture, as my friend, the artist, Norman Ackroyd called it (as published in Lines)—and ultimately the constructed space all seek to capture the essential, the spiritual, and universal emotions. Their synthesis in time unifies the original thoughts and connects them back to our mind and senses, and to our hearts.

John Fox is president and CEO of Beaumont Health, based in Southfield.
Delivering effective, efficient and extraordinary health care to all requires full access to care. Health insurance, either private or government, is essential to that access, which is why Beaumont Health is urging President Donald Trump and members of Congress to tread carefully as they consider changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
As of this month, about 12 million Americans have gained access to care through ACA plans on federal or state exchanges. Nearly 1 million people in Beaumont's home state of Michigan have health coverage through the ACA or the Healthy Michigan Medicaid expansion plan. Some 61,000 people are now getting treatment at our facilities as a result of the coverage through the Healthy Michigan Plan.
Some of these individuals have very serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Greater access to care strengthens our ability to improve the health and wellness of the patients, families and communities we and other health systems serve.
Any disruption to access and coverage would be devastating to the health of those who are now insured and receiving treatment for acute or chronic conditions. Keeping patients healthy begins with health insurance coverage, so they can have access to physicians and primary care sooner rather than later.
Preventive screenings, immunizations and tests help to avoid illness or detect it at the earliest, most treatable stages. When care is provided earlier at lower cost, a medical condition can be stopped from advancing to a more serious state and unnecessary medical risk and cost can be avoided.
Repeal of the ACA without an adequate replacement plan could well wreak havoc on both the health and economic stability of our patients, clinicians, hospitals and communities.
In a letter sent on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people we care for annually, the leadership of Beaumont Health asked President Trump and lawmakers to carefully consider the most essential elements of the ACA in discussions of a future healthcare system.
Keeping the ACA's "10 essential benefits," such as maternity and newborn care, mental health, substance abuse and pediatric services, will help maintain early interventions, so conditions can still be addressed earlier and at less cost.
Uninterrupted care for the millions covered by the ACA must be maintained, and so should benefits such as protections against rescinding insurance benefits after a person becomes ill; coverage for children to age 26 and those with pre-existing conditions; and preventive and primary wellness coverage that's essential to healthier lives and lower health care costs.
The ACA has pushed our industry to make improvements in quality and the patient experience. And provider organizations have answered the call. Support for technological advancements that improve care coordination, such as telehealth and electronic health records, should continue because they enhance access to care and improve quality and safety. Technology can also help avoid duplicative care.
Support for research to eradicate diseases such as cancer and to identify best treatments for chronic conditions should not only continue but increase. To combat physician and nurse shortages, support for training of health care professionals must also increase.
Health care bureaucracy can impede our ability to offer patient- and family-centered care. So any new health care proposal needs to streamline regulations and protocols that limit clinicians' time with patients.
Decisive action is needed to address the sharp rise in pharmaceutical prices that is straining hospital budgets and preventing people from getting the lifesaving drugs they need.
We implore our elected leaders to work with those of us in health care in determining what's best for the future of the system as they consider new policy directions.
Mapping the best way forward for the health of our nation is an important, laborious task. Caregivers and those who support patient care at hospitals and health systems nationwide work collaboratively every day to improve the health and wellness of the patients and families we serve. We urge our federal and state officials to also work together in a bipartisan manner to ensure the best possible health care for all Americans.

LA TV Station Reports Health Department's Failure to Announce Salmonella Outbreak
By News Desk on March 26, 2015
Over a four-month period, a popular deli in the Los Angeles area sickened at least 21 people with Salmonella poisoning, but the Ventura County Department of Public Health did not notify the public when the first cases were reported and they began their investigation. A new report by Los Angeles news station NBC4 revealed that Brent's Deli in Westlake Village, CA, had been associated with Salmonella illnesses for months over the course of this past summer and was under an outbreak investigation. But while that investigation was going on, health officials did not announce any illnesses or outbreak investigation to the public. The first public revelation of the outbreak did not come until January 2015, when food safety attorney Bill Marler released health department records obtained as part of a lawsuit filed by a woman who contracted Salmonellosis after eating at the deli. The outbreak was then reported in Food Safety News and elsewhere. Now, Marler is representing several people who came down with Salmonellosis after eating at Brent's. (His law firm, Marler Clark, underwrites Food Safety News.) The director of the health department, William Stratton, told the news station that they do not typically alert the public when they are in the midst of an investigation. County health departments for Los Angeles and San Francisco, however, have alerted the public to outbreaks in recent years in an attempt to warn prospective customers about the potential for getting sick, and so that other customers experiencing symptoms will know to seek out medical care. NBC4 found that Brent's Deli has repeatedly been cited for "major health violations" going back to 2007. The deli was also associated with other Salmonella illnesses in 2007, 2010 and 2013, the station reported. A co-owner of Brent's told NBC4 that after learning of the outbreak, the restaurant voluntarily closed down, sanitized their facilities, and hired a third-party company to improve their overall food safety. Watch and read the full NBC4 report here.

Q: Include a log file in a HTML page with SSI I'm trying some stuff for the moment and now it's trying to display the content of a log file in a HTML page.
So, I add ssi on; in my Nginx .conf file and add this to the HTML page :
<!--#include file="../../../../var/log/nginx/logs.access.log" -->

The path is good but I'm always having this error :

[an error occurred while processing the directive]

Would you have any idea ?

A: <!--#include file= in nginx is the same thing as <!--# include virtual=, so ../../../../var/log/nginx/logs.access.log doesn't look like valid request.
But you can add location like this:
location = /logs.access.log {

}

and use <!--#include file="/logs.access.log" --> accordingly.

Directed By Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring – Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn
The Plot – The story of Alana Kane (Haim) and Gary Valentine (Hoffman) growing up, running around and falling in love in the San Fernando Valley, during the summer of 1973.
Rated R for adult language, sexual material and some drug use.
licorice pizza trailer – YouTube
– Passionate direction. This is the fifth straight period piece for Anderson, whose evocative detailing of the sights and sounds of the flower power generation that inspired a great amount of his prestigious career. In the case of "Licorice Pizza", it's the same auteur familiarity that we expect from the visionary director, but with all of the emotions and experiences from adolescence that resonate a deeper sense of fondness and appreciation that certainly cements the most sentimental of Anderson experiences. On top of this, the ensuing social commentary within a world on the brink of financial disaster prescribes universal stakes and consequences inside of this very nuanced and personal story, receiving periodic instances of mention, but without it ever feeling like a crutch of necessity for the depths of the narrative, nor taking away from the focus and tenacity of Paul's intimately compelling storytelling, which feels as coherently fleshed out as any first person perspective can properly convey.
– Transformative quality. There's this seamlessness to the defined place and age of the film's setting that is materialized as a result of more than one precise layer of pivotal production used to vibrantly bring the San Fernando Valley during the summer of 1973 back to life for the audience amazement. From the vintage threads of the film's wardrobe designs, to the colorful contrast of various sets and decoration, everything here breeds a perfect level of believability that is made all the more impressive by the expansion of its reach, without ever offering a single solitary moment where something inconsistent stood out to surrender my growing investment. Beyond this, the instrumental stirring of a faded color correction with a sunbaked consistency in Anderson's own cinematography grades the movie's imagery in a glow of classic luster, made all the more intoxicating with the 35mm Kodak film that Anderson surmises from the dead of outdated technology. Finally, iconic composer, and longtime Anderson collaborator, Jonny Greenwood, once again conjures up a mesmerizing score that not only channels the essence of surfer rock on the cusp of a revolutionary takeover, but also constructs tones and instrumentals that feel so distinctly unlike anything else in the entirety of his musician-turned-composer career, playing into the magnitude of his creative capabilities and environmental impulses.
– Compelling dynamic. At the heart of the movie's noticeable gains, is the relationship between Alana and Gary, with all of the complexities and banter that you can expect from two completely different people. The intriguing aspect here is that while they are different people at different positions of life, it's the similarities they share in a dual coming-of-age story that is most endearing to the experience, valuing each of them as the keys to the others' evolutional maturity that balances out what each of them needs. For an immature Gary, Alana is very much the first girl he's ever felt legitimate feelings for, so it teaches him to embrace and value that love with the kind of determination his life has been lacking to that point. For Alana, Gary is the motivational steering that her life's early adulthood has always needed, but rarely found, inspiring her to seek out the necessary ambition within herself that puts words to actions as a result. The film is its strongest when each of them shares the screen with one another, and the timing and spontaneity of their banter articulates an effortless chemistry that transcends their years, and cements them as the kindred spirits that fill the void to needs that neither of them knew they needed in the first place.
– Naturalistic dialogue. While staying on those crafted lines for just a minute longer, Anderson instills as much uniqueness and expression to the deliveries that magnetically entranced me to every word, all the while attaining a sincerity for their impacts that occasionally makes these interactions feel like documentary footage, instead of crafted fiction from beyond the lens. Because of such, the conversations are so enriched with momentous consistency and unapologetic honesty that solidify all of the colossal stakes in everything they could and often do say, making much of this dialogue-driven film a delightful pleasure to endure for just over the two hour mark. In particular, there's much to study and interpret between Alana and Gary's ever-changing demeanors that solidifies the lines between them as insightful delves into their often guarded psyche's, serving as the audible windows to the soul's that we can properly define as experienced third parties who track more than a familiar trail to where their relationship takes us.
– Slice of life. Where the film finds its momentum for me, but ironically enough will serve as a testament of wills for others, is in the spontaneity of its storytelling, which often eludes structure for the many high's and low's that come from living. As to where one could argue that this film feels aimless or weightless at times, I could argue that Anderson properly captures the essence of unrequited love, especially the turbulent lengths that it will take a youth down when they become in over their head. Because this film continuously throws scenes together in such a manner that never stitches any two of them together, it properly attains a merit of unpredictability that goes a long way in testing the limits of a comedy-first narrative, bringing with it a self-deprecating sense of humility that proves Anderson isn't afraid to get the hands of his dual protagonists dirty, all the while echoing life's many sporadic beats that persist with little to no warning.
– Tonal deviation. In my opinion, "Licorice Pizza" will go down in history as not only the most endearing Paul Thomas Anderson film of all time, but also the most rewatchable. This prophetic claim stems from an easy-going humorous consistency that Anderson has until now only grazed with his films, but here wholeheartedly commits to in a way that attains a light-hearted merit to the often crazy experience of the protagonists. What's most surprising, however, is that all of this persists with Anderson's typical eerieness looming in the background, where any reaction to an incident can pop-off at any given time, and unpredictability can play its hand in ways that fools the audience from the false sense of security that the levity entailed. It matches energy with stakes in a way that very few films can even attempt, creating a realistic sense of consequences for these shallow actions that the youthful characters unload, all the while without taking away from effectiveness in gags that resonated repeatedly within me.
– Sharp casting. Credit to Anderson for crafting Haim and Hoffman, two gravitational defining talents who have never acted in a feature length film, despite both being involved the Hollywood eye of entertainment. This subscribes further to the authenticity that Anderson cements in the film's aforementioned production aspects because neither's familiarity allows the focus to remain where it rightfully should be; the story, and its one that each of them serve dutifully throughout. For Hoffman, his turn as Gary very much elicits a showman full of earnestness and organic charisma that continuously captivates the screen, bringing with it the same kind of endearing presence that made his father one of the best before his untimely passing. As for Alana Haim, her turn as the appropriately named Alana is a justifiable one, as much of the balance that surrounds her music in the rock band "Haim", which she shares with her sisters, is present here. Haim injects a balance of fearlessness and naivety that often envelopes the character in a cloud of ambiguity, but never one that Alana herself lets slip away in a performance full of so much durability and angst constructed from this one woman army who continuously levels everything in her path. There's also some strong cameo turns from Sean Penn, Benny Safdie, Tom Waits, and especially the scene-stealing work of Bradley Cooper, who hands in the most maniacally supercharged turn of his entire career.
– Morally ambiguous. It's a shame that this near perfect film is marred by some questionable choices in material that constantly took away from my investment. To be fair, the instances themselves involving a Japanese depiction through the portrayal of a white man, and the framing of a 25 year old woman being romantically involved in a 15 year old boy, were very much a relevant aspect of society for the time, but not necessarily one that adds a necessary quality when watched with contemporary eyes. For my money, the age of Gary could've easily been changed to 17. This would've allowed him to maintain much of the immaturity and distance in age from Alana that the film surrounds, while also attaining credibility in legalities that I wish it surrounded itself in. The Japanese stuff is completely unnecessary, and while it's an aspect of the arc of Gary's on-screen father (Played by John Michael Higgins), the impression itself, especially when repeated, could be left on the cutting room floor of ineffective humor that feels more culturally insensitive than cleverly entertaining.
My Grade: 9/10 or A-
9, Comedy

Great review!! I've been seeing the commercials for this one and thought it looked interesting. I couldn't tell by the looks of them that there was that big of an age gap. They both look like teenagers to me. I think I'll check it out.
This is another one where I wished that I liked it as much as the vast majority, but I like ever so slightly less. While I did appreciate the spontaneity of the storytelling like you mentioned, I don't think the plot and pacing flowed as well as it could've which lead to a few moments where I had to reinvest. Also, the whole Japanese depiction running joke is just bad and wholly unnecessary like you stated. Everything else though I am in full agreement. I haven't seen every Paul Thomas Anderson film but between the charming performances, hilarious script, and strong direction, I fully agree that this will be one of his most endearing and rewatchable films. I do want to see it again and I'm so glad that you loved it as much as you did. Excellent work!

title: Quickly create an empty stdClass object in PHP
description: For when you need the scaffolding of an empty PHP class object
date:   2013-04-19 12:00:00

---

    I was working on a Laravel project and had to work with a Eloquent ORM object;
    I then needed to create an empty stdClass object.

    There's a chance that a person is not known and being lazy I wanted to fill the form anyway with my Person object, so I needed a mockup of that object.

{% highlight php %}
<?php
$person = (object) array_fill_keys(
    array('firstname', 'lastname', 'email', 'photo'),
    ''
);
?>
{% endhighlight %}

    I'd say this solution is quick and dirty.. but frankly,
    it's not that dirty at all!

    In short, this one-liner, creates an array with the 4 keys provided and gives them an empty value ('') then we just typecast it into an object. Done!


I returned to Poprad for the first time in almost a year the other day, but this article is nothing about turning over a new leaf, wiping the slate clean or any sort of spiritual journey: it's about burgers. More specifically, it's about the hottest new burger joint in town. Restart is emblematic of a new breed of eateries in the capital of the High Tatras – establishments that catapult the place dangerously close to being a culinary beacon in the east of Slovakia. And Poprad on a sunny late spring day did indeed seem pleasant (simmering if not over-boiling with animated cafes and packed restaurants). Of which Restart was one.
Whilst as a post title Restart conjures a certain mystique the name puts one off. Me at least. I'm not a fan of the trend in Slovakia to give English names to restaurants and bars just because it's cool. Slovak is a language with few enough to champion its cause: nothing wrong with a Slovak name (Ludevít Štúr would be turning in his grave). But even the codifier of the Slovak language would be impressed by what goes on behind the pink-beige 19th century facade of this gourmet burger stop in the attractive Vel'ka district.
The idea? A Slovak interpretation of posh American fast food. And name aside, the feel is very modern-Slovak. There is a nod to the cosy "obývačka" or living room vibe – you know, battered armchairs, old standard lamps, framed paintings, antique furniture. But the staff? Modern Slovak. Young, true, but really caring about the menu and the dining experience. Some even speak English. The other diners? Modern Slovak. Youthful again, contributing to a bubbly but sophisticated ambience. One of the most striking things about Restart, indeed, is how full it always is. If you want to hang here with the bright young things of Poprad over your burger and fries, you'll need to book, particularly in the evenings.
And the food? Just really very high quality burgers (all between 4 and 6 Euros). High quality, and high on the plate. Veritably teetering towers of bread-capped meat. Each of the signature burgers is dosed full of a homemade sauce which themes the filling. The Swiss, which uses a mushroom salsa to complement the smoked ham and Swiss cheese. The Teriyaki, which hooked me, and used a Restart version of the Japanese soy sauce dressing to sit with the gouda, crisped bacon and avocado (it works). There's a Tennessee triple cheese burger with a Jack Daniels-based sauce that I've already eyed up for the next visit. I would have liked to see a better range of beers (although the standard Zlaty Bažant was available) – with maybe a few of the Slovak start-up breweries featured – perhaps one area to work on. Anyway. You're not coming here to experience traditional Slovak cuisine, you're coming here to see how a city like Poprad is evolving and exuding a quiet self-confidence, and how young entrepreneurs have turned the once-staid Slovak eating scene on its head.
Maybe Štúr would quit rolling over in his grave and just go order a Teriyaki burger with a side of fat hand-cut fries. Typically Slovak, that. Curious for the new, yet finding the tried-and-tested comforting.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Check it out on a Friday or Saturday evening, booking a table for perhaps 8-ish, to see the place buzzing.


Two weeks into January, and Liz and I are getting a definite sense that we are nearing D-day. It's now less than 3 weeks till we fly to Argentina. We have been having to divide and rule with the task list, as Liz is still working (snow permitting...). I have been spending the days getting really stuck in to buying up most of London's cycling and outdoor kit. We always knew this would be The Expensive Bit, but wow. The lesson to learn is that it hurts less to make one big outlay than several really quite big ones!
One way or another, we are now at the stage where we are missing a few items, rather than owning a few items plus an endless list, as was the case a fornight ago. We've struck some decent deals - it's surprising how quickly discounts can become a reality when you mention the potential length of the receipt. Evans Cycles have been especially good - we spent fully 6 hours in their Gatwick branch/warehouse last Saturday, surrounded by deep arctic tundra, and were rewarded by a 20% discount. And anyone finding themselves near Covent Garden in the last week or two would have stood a good chance of running into at least one of us as we flitted from one outdoor shop to another, trying not to get fed up with trying on kit and comparing prices.
So far, team spirits and coordination are holding up well as we motor through the lists, ticking off innoculations, insurance, route planning, flat rental, bike setting up, tax returns, mail redirections, website preparation and all the rest. We are cutting it a bit fine, admittedly, but I reckon we should be on top of things by the time we fly. I'm tempted to say we're even becoming quite organised. Actually, that might be pushing things. But the hope is that this is the complicated bit. From everybody we've spoken to, it seems that once you're out on the road, life becomes very simple.
Which will be a relief after January.


Description The order Alismatales is a mostly aquatic group of monocots that displays substantial morphological and life history diversity, including the seagrasses, the only land plants that have re-colonized marine environments. Past phylogenetic studies of the order have either considered a single gene with dense taxonomic sampling, or several genes with thinner sampling. Despite substantial progress based on these studies, multiple phylogenetic uncertainties still remain concerning higher-order phylogenetic relationships. To address these issues, I completed a near-genus level sampling of the core alismatid families and the phylogenetically isolated family Tofieldiaceae, adding these new data to published sequences of Araceae and other monocots, eudicots and ANITA-grade angiosperms. I recovered whole plastid genomes (plastid gene sets representing up to 83 genes per taxa) and analyzed them using maximum likelihood and parsimony approaches. I recovered a well supported phylogenetic backbone for most of the order, with all families supported as monophyletic, and with strong support for most inter- and intrafamilial relationships. A major exception is the relative arrangement of Araceae, core alismatids and Tofieldiaceae; although most analyses recovered Tofieldiaceae as the sister-group of the rest of the order, this result was not well supported. Different partitioning schemes used in the likelihood analyses had little effect on patterns of clade support across the order, and the parsimony and likelihood results were generally highly congruent. I also used the inferred phylogeny of Alismatales to study the loss of the mostly plastid-encoded NADH dehydrogenase enzyme complex in the order. This enzyme is hypothesized to be involved in mitigating photooxidative stress by inducing chlororespiration. The inclusion or exclusion of ndh pseudogenes had little impact on the main phylogenetic results. Previous work hypothesized three independent losses/pseudogenization events within the core alismatids, which I confirmed here. I also inferred an additional loss in Tofieldiaceae, the first example in unsubmerged species of Alismatales. The repeated loss of plastid NADH dehydrogenase may spur future research into the physiological bases of the loss.

California Slaps Surcharge On ACA Plans As Trump Remains Coy On Subsidies
By Chad Terhune	 October 11, 2017
California's health exchange said Wednesday it has ordered insurers to add a surcharge to certain policies next year because the Trump administration has yet to commit to paying a key set of consumer subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
The decision to impose a 12.4 percent surcharge on silver-level health plans in 2018 means the total premium increase for them will average nearly 25 percent, according to Covered California. Taxpayers, not consumers, will bear the brunt of the extra rate hike because federal premium assistance for policyholders, which is pegged to the cost of coverage, will also increase.
Statewide, rate increases will vary by insurer and region. What consumers pay depends on where they live, their income, what level of coverage they want and which insurer they choose.
Californians can get their first look at next year's health plan prices and options on the state's rate calculator, released Wednesday.
This story also ran in the Los Angeles Times. It can be republished for free (details).
The state's open enrollment period, which is longer than that for the federal exchange, runs from Nov. 1 to Jan. 31. About 1.4 million Californians buy their own coverage through the state marketplace and nearly 90 percent receive financial assistance that reduces what they pay.
In August, Covered California announced that 2018 premiums would rise by 12.5 percent, on average, statewide. That ticked down slightly to 12.3 percent during regulatory review. But the exchange also warned that the additional increase, averaging 12.4 percent, would be added to the silver-tier plans if President Donald Trump failed to commit to continued funding for the so-called cost-sharing subsidies that help reduce some consumers' out-of-pocket expenses. Those payouts total about $7 billion this year nationwide.
Trump has continued paying them on a month-to-month basis while repeatedly threatening to cut them off and repeal the entire health law. He has referred to the payments as "bailouts" for insurance companies.
Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California, said the surcharge is far from ideal but that the uncertainty in the nation's capital left the state with no other option.
"Covered California worked hard to come up with a plan that ensures a stable market and protects as many consumers as possible from an unnecessary price hike," Lee said in a statement Wednesday.
The exchange took several measures in an attempt to shield consumers from the effects of the surcharge. One of them was to create a new silver plan to be sold outside the exchange to individuals and families who make too much money to qualify for federal subsidies. The surcharge will not be applied to those plans, sparing unsubsidized consumers that extra cost.
The surcharge will apply only to the silver-level plans, the second-least expensive option among the exchange's four tiers of coverage. That's because only people enrolled in silver plans benefit from the cost-sharing subsidies that Trump has threatened to terminate.
Covered California said that 78 percent of subsidized consumers will see no change in what they pay or may pay even less despite the surcharge being imposed. The remaining 22 percent of consumers will see higher net premiums. About half of those consumers will get increases of less than $25 per month, according to the exchange.
John Baackes, chief executive of L.A. Care Health Plan, said his 2018 rates will be 11 percentage points higher because of the added surcharge — a 23 percent average increase instead of 12 percent. His health plan has about 26,000 exchange enrollees. He said the higher premiums would be "totally avoidable" if the Trump administration implemented the ACA.
"We have to lay the blame for this at the foot of the Trump administration for being so irresponsible about this major portion of the law," Baackes said. "This will not be a burden on most consumers, but it will be a higher cost to the U.S. Treasury. It all seems so ridiculous."
Anthony Wright, executive director of the advocacy group Health Access California, criticized the Trump administration for playing "political games" with people's health coverage and forcing Covered California's hand.
"Even with Covered California's workaround, consumers are facing additional complexity and confusion, if not costs, all because of the Trump administration's contemptuous actions," Wright said.
The last-minute changes, less than three weeks before the start of open enrollment, are likely to confuse some consumers.
In addition to higher rates, Covered California faces the loss of a major insurer across much of the state. In August, Anthem Blue Cross said it was pulling out from about half of California's counties, forcing 153,000 customers to find new coverage.
The state has boosted its marketing budget by $5.3 million for the coming year to help Anthem customers research their options and to deal with questions stemming from the surcharge.
California's Obamacare rates have been a key barometer of how the Affordable Care Act is working since coverage began in 2014. The state held rate increases to 4 percent the first two years and then premiums jumped 13.2 percent, on average, for 2017.
These rate increases apply to people who purchase their own coverage in the individual market, not the majority of Americans who get their health insurance through work or government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Some members of the U.S. Senate have attempted to craft a bipartisan deal to fund the cost-sharing subsidies for up to two years in a bid to stabilize the exchange markets nationwide. But those negotiations stalled last month when Senate Republicans pursued the Graham-Cassidy legislation, the latest GOP attempt to roll back President Barack Obama's signature law. Like previous repeal attempts, it failed to muster enough support in the Senate.
State officials and health insurers across the U.S. have faced tough decisions on whether to proceed with higher rates to compensate for the uncertainty swirling around the Affordable Care Act. Deadlines were pushed back repeatedly as insurance commissioners and exchange directors pleaded with Trump and Congress to shore up the existing market so insurers would stick around and rate increases could be minimized.
"Carriers across the country need certainty, and a federal commitment to funding [cost-sharing reduction] payments would lower rates in many states," Lee said Wednesday.
In Idaho, for example, the average rate for silver plans will increase 40 percent in 2018, double what the rate hike would have been had the Trump administration committed to funding the cost-sharing subsidies, according to Dean Cameron, director of the state's Department of Insurance.
If the cost-sharing subsidies are continued into next year, the added surcharges could mean insurers will end up collecting too much in premiums, and some arrangement will have to be made to return the excess money.
Trump has continued to rail against Obamacare, pointing to huge rate increases around the country and insurance companies fleeing the market. Rather than amending the Affordable Care Act, Trump favors other proposals to help make health insurance more affordable for individuals and families.
This week, he is expected to issue an executive order that would allow people and small businesses to join together and buy health insurance through what are known as association health plans.
Details haven't been released yet, but some health-policy experts say these new health plans could further destabilize the ACA's insurance markets if they aren't subject to the health law's regulations.
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted that "since Congress can't get its act together on HealthCare I will be using the power of the pen to give great HealthCare to many people — FAST."
