Russia possibly tried to kill Montenegro PM, says British foreign secretary
March 13, 2017 by Ian Allen 1 Comment
Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary has said in an interview that Russian spies may have orchestrated last year's failed attempt to kill the then-prime minister of Montenegro, Milo Dukanović. Mr. Johnson, a senior figure in the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom, was a major contender for the prime minister's position in 2016, after the administration of David Cameron collapsed under the weight of the Brexit vote result. Speaking on Sunday morning to reporter Robert Peston, of Britain's ITV television network, Mr. Johnson said that the West should "engage" with Russia, but warned that it should also "beware" of Moscow's "dirty tricks" in Europe and the United States.
The British foreign secretary spoke following reports that British intelligence services called an emergency meeting with representatives of the country's major political parties, in order to warn them that Russia planned to use cyber-attacks to disrupt regional and national elections in the country. Mr. Johnson said that the government had "no evidence the Russians are actually involved in trying to undermine our democratic processes at the moment". But he added that there was "plenty of evidence that the Russians are capable of doing that. And there is no doubt", he went on, "that they've been up to all sorts of dirty tricks". Some of those "dirty tricks", said Mr. Johnson, targeted the former Yugoslav Republic of Montenegro, where last year there was "an attempted coup and possibly an attempted assassination".
The British politician was referring to allegations made last October by authorities in Montenegro that "nationalists from Russia" and Serbia were behind a failed plot to kill the country's then-Prime Minister Milo Dukanović and spark a pro-Russian coup in the country. The allegations surfaced after 20 Serbians and Montenegrins were arrested by police in Montenegro for allegedly planning a military coup against the government. The arrests took place on election day, October 16, as Montenegrins were voting across the Balkan country of 650,000 people. The plotters had allegedly hired a "long-distance sharpshooter" who was "a professional killer" for the task of killing Đukanović. After killing the Prime Minister, the plotters planned to storm the parliament and prompt a pro-Russian coup in Montenegro, according to authorities. In response to allegations that the coup had been hatched in neighboring Serbia, Serbian Prime Minister Vučić said that he would not allow Serbia to "act as the puppet of world powers", a comment that was clearly directed at Moscow. Russia vehemently denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson is preparing to visit Moscow in a few days to meet with his Russian counterpart, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov. He told ITV that he planned to deliver his "personal feeling" to Mr. Lavrov, which "is one of deep, deep sadness" about Russia's foreign policy under President Vladimir Putin.

One Response to Russia possibly tried to kill Montenegro PM, says British foreign secretary
K Steele Barrera says:
This sounds like another attempt to demonize Putin. Globalists can't stand Russia and will come up with all kinds of accusations. Who is behind all the deaths of the Russian diplomats? Since the US and UK work so closely together, it's possible that Boris Johnson might be privy to that information.

Last week, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals filed its decision in Mueller v. Harry Kaufmann Motorcars, Inc. Ms. Mueller contended that the defendant had misrepresented the condition of the car that it sold her and attempted to testify on what the car was really worth to her in light of its true condition. The Milwaukee County Circuit Court barred Ms. Mueller from sharing this testimony with the jury. This resulted in dismissal of Ms. Mueller's claim because she presented no other evidence that she was damaged by the defendant's misrepresentations.
The Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of Ms. Mueller's claim, holding that the trial court erred in barring her from testifying on the value of her property. The Court of Appeals noted that it had previously held in D'Huyvetter v. A.O. Smith Harvestore Products that testimony from a farmer's wife that a silo was worth "nothing" was credible evidence that the silo's actual value was $0.00. This established "benefit-of-the-bargain" damages measured by the difference between the purchase price (the value of the silo as represented) and $0.00 (the actual value of the silo).
When I am concerned that the wrong judge or jury will reject the proposed repairs as extreme, such as moving the home or raising its foundation.
Under these circumstances, I would argue, as I did here, that my clients' property is worth less than what they paid for it and that this difference is their measure of damages. Contrary to the arguments that I typically hear from defense counsel, one does not need to be qualified as an appraiser to testify on the actual value of his property. See Trible v. Tower Insurance Co.; Swedowski v. Westgor. Furthermore, this testimony need not be based on independent financial data. See D.L. Anderson's Lakeside Leisure Co., Inc. v. Anderson; Mayberry v. Volkeswagen of Am., Inc.; Accuweb, Inc. v. Foley & Lardner.
My only caveat is that residential real estate cases are not lemon law cases; your property is not worth "nothing." Even if your home is permanently plagued with toxic black mold and your doctor has urged you to move out immediately, the land still has value. In most circumstances, a homeowner can convincingly testify that he or she would have paid 10-20% less for their property had the seller fully disclosed the defects affecting it.

Kerby Rosanes's Hayao Miyazaki Inspired Doodles
"I Decided to Leave" Is an Honest Depiction of a Mid-Life Crisis
Everyone has those mornings when you get out of bed, start heading into work, and then suddenly realize that you desperately crave change. Perhaps grabbing your keys and heading off into the woods Walt Whitman-style might be the extreme example, but I Decided to Leave, a short animated film by Daniel Britt and produced for Channel 4, takes it even further (alternate dimensions, anyone?).
In the film, a man narrates this drab existence, a repetitive, soul-crushing pattern of waking up, going to work, and hanging out with co-workers. He wants to write a novel but lacks the inspiration as he falls prey to the unfulfilling eat/work/sleep prison of his life. However, the steps he takes to free himself from monotony will surprise you. Approaching an existential crisis with dry humor? A winning combination.

If your child is having difficulty in school or with homework, it may be their eyes.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA) children should have their eyes examined by an eye doctor at 6 months, 3 years, at the start of school, and then at least every 2 years following.
A baby's visual system develops gradually over the first few months of life. They have to learn to focus and move their eyes, and use them together as a team. The brain also needs to learn how to process the visual information from the eyes to understand and interact with the world.
With the development of eyesight, comes also the foundation for motor development such as crawling, walking and hand-eye coordination. You can ensure that your baby is reaching milestones by keeping an eye on what is happening with your infant's development and by ensuring that you schedule a comprehensive infant eye exam at 6 months.

Q: Mef2 Configure Registrations in each module Ok so I am using Caliburn Micro and Mef2 in a C# WPF app using .Net 4.5. I am wondering if there is any way I can configure my registrations for Mef2 inside of the separate dlls and then use them inside my main dll. Basically the dll will configure its own imports and exports.
Something like:
RegistrationBuilder builder = new RegistrationBuilder();

        builder.ForTypesDerivedFrom<IShell>().Export<IShell>().SetCreationPolicy(CreationPolicy.Shared);
        builder.ForTypesDerivedFrom<IFindProducts>().Export<IFindProducts>().SetCreationPolicy(CreationPolicy.Shared);
        builder.ForTypesMatching(t => t.Name.EndsWith("ViewModel")).Export().SetCreationPolicy(CreationPolicy.NonShared);

        return builder;

in each dll but I am stuck att he point of merging all the registrations into one RegistrationBuilder to then pass into each catalog.

A: An approach would be to pass the RegistrationBuilder to each assembly for update. This could be done by adding an interface like:
public interface IRegistrationUpdater
{
    void Update(RegistrationBuilder registrationBuilder);
}

in a contracts assembly. This one will be referenced by all assemblies that need to register MEF2 Conventions. For example:
public class RegistrationUpdater: IRegistrationUpdater
{
    public void Update(RegistrationBuilder registrationBuilder)
    {
        if (registrationBuilder == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("registrationBuilder");

        registrationBuilder.ForType<SomeType>().ImportProperty<IAnotherType>(st => st.SomeProperty).Export<ISomeType>();
        registrationBuilder.ForType<AnotherType>().Export<IAnotherType>();
    }
}

with SomeType implementing ISomeType and AnotherType implementing IAnotherType. IAnotherType needs not parts. ISomeType needs a IAnotherType part.
Then in your main program you need to find the available IRegistrationUpdaters using something like:
static IEnumerable<IRegistrationUpdater> GetUpdaters()
{
    var registrationBuilder = new RegistrationBuilder();
    registrationBuilder.ForTypesDerivedFrom<IRegistrationUpdater>().Export<IRegistrationUpdater>();
    using (var catalog = new DirectoryCatalog(".", registrationBuilder))
    using (var container = new CompositionContainer(catalog))
    {
        return container.GetExportedValues<IRegistrationUpdater>();
    }
}

which can then be used to iterate through each updater and call IRegistrationUpdater.Update(RegistrationBuilder).
var mainRegistrationBuilder = new RegistrationBuilder();
foreach (var updater in GetUpdaters())
{
    updater.Update(mainRegistrationBuilder);
}

var mainCatalog = new DirectoryCatalog(".", mainRegistrationBuilder);
var mainContainer = new CompositionContainer(mainCatalog);

var s = mainContainer.GetExportedValue<ISomeType>();

Indian Finance Ministry Preparing Consultation Paper for Crypto Regulations ⋆ MAXBIT
by Arun Kumar Shrivastav
The Indian government is engaged in consultations with domestic and international agencies on crypto regulations. It expects to prepare a consultation paper and invite public comments on it in about six months, said a senior finance ministry official.
"At present, we are engaged in consultation with institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and the Financial Stability Board (FSB). While a global consensus on the issue may take time, we are working on a consultation paper on cryptoassets to formulate our own views on the matter. We will release it for public consultation in about six months' time," Ajay Seth, Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Finance Ministry, said on Monday.
At the moment, India doesn't have a domestic regulatory framework for dealing with digital assets and it's caused a sharp polarization of opinion with some finding it responsible for the flight of skill and innovation from the country.
"Consultation paper fairly ready. We've gone through deep dive and consulted not just domestic stakeholders but also orgs (organizations) like IMF, and World Bank. We hope we'll soon be in a position to finalize the consultation paper," Seth told media persons.
The top finance ministry bureaucrat reminded the Indian Prime Minister's assertions that dealing with crypto assets requires a global framework of regulations.

"This point has been made time & again. If you recall, PM at the Sydney conference had made that point. Thereafter he made that point on more than one forum. Even other countries are talking about the same thing that we require a global paradigm to deal with digital assets," Ajay Seth said.
The finance ministry's revelation that it's preparing a consultation paper on crypto regulation seems to be a balancing act by the Indian government which has so far been siding with the regulators – the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Recently, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong accused the RBI of exerting informal pressure and imposing a shadowban on crypto exchanges in India. In a recent interview, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, referring to the current market downturn, said cryptocurrencies have no underlying value and justified RBI not regulating them.
"We have been cautioning against crypto and look at what has happened to the crypto market now. Had we been regulating it already, then people would have raised questions about what happened to regulations," Das said.
India has introduced a 30% tax on profits from crypto transactions beginning April 1, 2002, and 1% TDS effective from July 1.

Q: Hibernate saving duplicate I have a Many-To-One relationship between two table in my database User table & Country table. The model classes are:
@Entity (name = "user")
 public class User {

      @Id @GeneratedValue (strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
      private int userId;
      private String username;
      private String password;

      @ManyToOne (cascade = {CascadeType.ALL})
      @JoinColumn (name = "countryId")
      private Country country;

     //Getter & Setter
 }

  @Entity (name = "country")
  public class Country {

      @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
      private int countryId;
      private String countryName;
      //Getter & Setter
 }

The problem I am having is when I save a new User object it also saves a new country record even when that country already exist in the database. How can I solve this problem?

A: You can try changing the cascade type in the @ManyToOne relationship:
@ManyToOne (cascade = CascadeType.MERGE)
@JoinColumn (name = "countryId")
private Country country;

When using CascadeType.ALL, it also includes, CascadeType.PERSIST, in which case, the persist operation is cascaded to Country whenever your persist User.

A: As far as I understand Country table is like dictionary and in most cases you should't save it every time you save an entity. Why do you need to save it by cascade?
If you really have to update Country why wouldn't it be done before saving User instance?
Using CascadeType.ALL is not really good because you will loose Country when you delete User.

Is the Set too Colorful and Clashing Now?
Author Topic: Is the Set too Colorful and Clashing Now? (Read 2546 times)

I find the set of Price to be too overwhelming with color. There's less of a natural feel to the colors. With almost a forced circus-like atmosphere of too much "Wow!" It's almost the feeling of several clowns at a kid's birthday party with the colors.
Go back to even the beginning of the Drew era in Season 37 for several seasons after, and the sets were fine. Now it's color overkill.

Re: Is the Set too Colorful and Clashing Now?
I don't think it's excessively colorful, no more than it used to be, but they could do without the cartoonish asterisks everywhere. HD cameras do make the image brighter.
Off_trak
The set needs to be bright due to the high def cameras. They need lots of light, apparently, in order to capture the highest quality image.

The audience area definitely is, with all the LEDs and garish Goodson asterisks. The only thing that I think is over-the-top on stage are the LEDs on the turntable (both the ones between the screens and on the turntable itself). I prefer the older design that just had color-changing squares, since it kept the focus on Drew. As it is now I feel like the whole turntable is too glitzy and steals attention from Drew and the player, or players during the showcases.
Maybe certain games are too bright now, like Half Off and Punch A Bunch, but the set itself is fine.
SteveGavazzi
Punch a Bunch? Really? I think the current color scheme is a vast improvement.

I like the set. I even like the audience panels in the back with the asterisks.
But I like them MORE when there's a unifying theme with the colors. The Premiere show for this season is my favorite.

I wouldn't say that the set is too colourful, but it is a bit sensory overload (just watch Drew make his entrance...ugh). All the video screens on set are constantly in motion; never just a static image. The light panels on the doors can flash and change colour. The door borders/homebase have LED strips that are ever changing colour throughout the show. And the audience area is just plain awful. The giant asterisks and LED pillars make the already small audience area look even more cramped. Long story short, it's not the amount of colour that irks me, it's the excessive amount of "stuff."
Timotheus
Give it a whooz, Dan.
I love how colorful the set is. There's a lot of charm to the brown sets of the 70s, but I think the super saturated and bright aesthetic the show uses now is a great fit.
CBSpromoman
For me, the worst part of the set is the home base monitor wall.
If those monitors were replaced with panels that could be lit with LEDs, it'd be one thing. But they insist on putting animation in all of those monitors and it makes the already bright backdrop that much busier. You lose Drew and the contestant in all the visual noise. It's far too distracting.
I used to run lights for my church and left the booth when the worship pastor insisted on changing things up and requiring that lights ALWAYS be doing something. Sometimes, you stop moving things in the BACKGROUND so you can focus better on what's happening in the FOREGROUND.

No, contemporary cameras require far, far less light than older cameras. The colors are strictly an aesthetic choice.
Quote from: CBSpromoman on February 01, 2019, 04:37:18 PM
I think there's a bit too much animation in general. What's the point of animating the reveals in Card Game, for instance? It only throws off the timing.

To make up for Drew's lack of flourish and suspense when reading the price, they took the opportunity to program him out of the game.

I think that's part of it, but if you look at other game shows on the air right now (I'm thinking Jeopardy and Wheel mostly), they have sets that light up and change color too. Wheel has video walls everywhere, and the last time I paid attention, the one behind the players had a video loop. Not enough to be really distracting but you knew it was there. Their sets feel appropriate for their atmospheres--Jeopardy is really serious and Wheel is more relaxed and fun.
Price has always been kind of like an all-out party atmosphere, and I think their set and color choices reflect that. There's always something flashing, changing color, animating, something; enough to get a casual channel-changer to tune in and stay tuned. Used to be seeing Bob Barker was enough to do that, but without him I agree with Flerbert, they have to up their game in other ways to grab and hold attention.
On the topic of more light vs less light--I actually think the set is lit a lot less brightly than it used to be overall, since so many pieces of it light up on their own and they don't need to flood the stage quite so much. I keep an eye on the doors to see that; if you watch the parts of them that don't light up, for the most part they're not lit brightly at all. The only exceptions are when someone is standing next to them. Door #1 really shows it, since anytime they turn the lights up even a little, that orange color really picks it up.
Quote from: ThomHuge on February 01, 2019, 11:18:22 PM
There's also the matter of the difference in the need and how to grab attention in today's world being different from when Bob hosted. Yes Bob was enough of a draw on his own, but it's not just because of him not being there that they had to radically change the set and certain way things are revealed. Today's world has much more things competing for our attention then when Bob hosted, and high-tech sets and graphics are the modern way to hold attention.

Lost Daughters: Congratulations Ohio Adoptees! You can now have a copy of your original birth certificate!
Bright and early on the morning of March 20, 2015, we all met in the lobby of the Drury Inn hotel at 7:30 a.m. and walked in the rain to Vital Statistic which opened at 8:00 a.m. Lots of media and coverage of the event was taking place as evidenced by this event being recognized not only locally in Ohio, but nationally. Documentary film maker (and adoptee) Jean Strauss had the idea for the group to chant about our birth certificates on our walk over to Vital Stats. The very helpful staff at Vital Stats had been planning for this event and many adoptees had pre-registered. Notaries were on hand at the Thursday night event and on Friday morning. It only took 2 hours for all of the waiting adoptees to make it through the line at Vital Stats. Adoption files will be mailed to those who requested them and will be received in approximately four weeks.
"Thank you for changing my life!"
It is reported that this new law will effect 400,000 adoptees in the state of Ohio. Original mothers had the opportunity to redact their names off of adoptees' original birth certificates if they desired and reportedly, only 114 out of 400,000 chose this option. Original mothers who chose to redact were required to fill out an extensive social and medical history. Critics of the law state that those 114 who will receive redacted documents are still having their civil rights violated.
"And even though I've had my OBC for nine years now, I plan to download the the adoptee records request form from the Ohio Department of Health in Columbus when it is available on March 20. I will fill it out, get it notarized, copy my two forms of identification, and mail it in along with another $20. Why? Because I need to see for myself that this process will work for my children–and grandchildren and great-grandchildren to come. This isn't just about me. It's about my descendants also having the ability to trace their lineage in future decades."

Response: A Study
of Assam
Komol Singha1
Following reclamation of Assamese ethnic identity, the movements for making
Assam a nation province started in the 1960s. The caveat, however, was the ever-
growing Bengali migrants from Bangladesh. The Assamese movement, bolstered
by the exclusivity and dominance, caused resentment from the non-Assamese
communities and this ostracism was manifested in the form of counter move-
ments. After restoring normalcy for a few years, armed movement for secession
kicked-off in the early 1980s and intensified in the 1990s. Unfortunately, State's
intervention failed to contain protracted conflicts, rather compounded the situation
and gave rise to hybrid ethnic identities in the 2000s. This further led to demands
for ethnicity-based autonomy movements.
Autonomy movement, Assam, ethnicity, elites, migration, state's responses
Though the movement for Assamese nation province germinated in the early
1960s and its resultant state re-organization process completed in the 1970s, the
state of Assam continues to grapple with a series of conflicts, ranging from the
language movement to the issues of illegal migration, the armed movement for
secession to the internal autonomy demands. The origin of the unrest, however, is
the steep rise in number of Bengali migrants/immigrants, especially from the East
Bengal (present Bangladesh) and it was viewed by the Assamese as posing a

grave threat to their economy and identity (Varshney, 1983). Mass movements
against the immigrants started in the 1980s with the rise of the All Assam Students'
Union (AASU) and the armed movement against the State1 for secession kicked-
off with the formation of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) (Das,
2012). The movements, both against the migrants and the State, paralysed normal
life in the state, led to the loss of hundreds of lifes in the 1980s, and further
increased in the 1990s. At the same time, the various tribal ethnic groups/com-
munities, especially the Bodo/Boro, within the state who were less developed
than both of the contending groups (Bengali and Assamese) felt alienated or
exploited culturally, economically and politically (Varshney, 1983). Consequently,
the Bodos, especially All Bodo Students' Union (ABSU) started identity and
language movements.
Since the 2000s, goalpost of the movement slowly shifted towards internal
feuds, rendered more vicious by the ongoing rapid multiplication of ethnicities in
an already prodigiously heterogeneous society (Singha, 2017a). In the process,
following the direction of predatory elites (ethnic leaders who primarily aim for
personal gains), the peripheral communities (smaller ethnic groups) have often
been urged to re-align with the bigger ethnic groups (Singha, 2017b). Consequently,
several ethnic groups made effective use of ethnicity and regionalism for self-
rule, greater autonomy and militant actions (Basumatary, 2010; Das, 2009) and
compelled to play ethnic cards (Haokip, 2012; Tarimo, 2008). In this manner, in
the 2000s, the entire state has been engulfed with the ethnic movements for vary-
ing demands and its resultant conundrum hobbles the state's socio-economic
development processes (Singha & Singh, 2016a, pp. 1–20). With the growing
pressure, many smaller communities have been granted varying forms of auton-
omy within the state, but conflict shows no sign of respite till date. Even the State
failed to contain the immediate problems of the ethnic conflicts and movements
for greater autonomy, rather intensified bitterness and deeply entrenched between
the communities (Prabhakara, 2005; Ravi, 2012).
Theoretical Background
According to Horowitz (1985, pp. 52–53), ethnicity is a state of collective belong-
ing (of a social group), which is based on common descent, culture, language,
religion, race, etc. While Varshney (2007, p. 277) defined that the nation or nation-
ality brings the ethnicity and statehood together. The meaning of ethnic identity
and its contents are always subject to contest by the different groups. Armed
conflicts and civil unrests seem to be flaring up day after day, affecting everyone's
life, directly or indirectly. In the 1990s, most of the conflicts in the world, around
80–90 per cent, were found to be intra-national, occurring within the states, pri-
marily ethnically driven over self-determination, greater autonomy, economic
opportunity and political dominance (Savage, 2005; Vogt, 2014; Yilmaz, 2008).
As for the genesis, according to Horowitz (1985, p. 96), ethnic conflicts were
drawn from the modernization and competition, which in turn led to materialistic
world. Karl Marx believed that conflicts in a society or class struggles are seen as

Please tell me about memorable food you've enjoyed. ^_^ Doesn't matter why - maybe it was an excellent chef, or the company you enjoyed, or maybe someone special to you made it. (If there's any need for a Friends Only entry on the theme, I'd be fine with that - just let me know here, or by email) For my part - well, there's got to be that evening in 2001, at Jameson's in Brisbane. The place, I believe, is gone, and the chef's moved on into Asia - and deservedly. We (myself and a friend of the host) had their tasting menu - the chef's inspiration was jointly the extraordinarily fresh seafood so easily found in Australia, and the Japanese sensibility toward simplicity in cooking. As they say in MasterChef - there's nowhere to hide when the dishes are that "simple".

This article collects what's been reported, outlining exactly how the NSA and GCHQ go about tapping internet cables. "Recently disclosed documents show that the NSA's fourth-largest cable tapping program, codenamed INCENSER, pulls its data from just one single source: a submarine fiber optic cable linking Asia with Europe. Until now, it was only known that INCENSER was a sub-program of WINDSTOP and that it collected some 14 billion pieces of internet data a month. The latest revelations now say that these data are collected with the help of the British company Cable & Wireless (codenamed GERONTIC, now part of Vodafone) at a location in Cornwall in the UK, codenamed NIGELLA. For the first time, this gives us a view on the whole interception chain, from the parent program all the way down to the physical interception facility. Here we will piece together what is known about these different stages and programs from recent and earlier publications."

Best food? Huh. Over the years I've had a lot of good meals and a lot of bad meals. When we were in Maine three summers ago my sisters in law took my wife and I out for our anniversary and I had a perfectly seared scallop dish on the waterfront. Maine is a great place for food: aside from the lobster rolls, I had THE BEST cheeseburger that I've ever had in a small restaurant in Cape Elizabeth. But I think I'd have to consider my most memorable being a Thanksgiving turkey feast that I made. Brined turkey, three-bread dressing with crimini mushrooms and pancetta, Manchego cheese potatoes, orange-scented green beans, a cranberry/orange sauce (that my wife made) and chocolate mousse pie. This afternoon I'm eating at my favorite Mexican food place, they have a fantastic shredded beef/pork taco that the seasoning couldn't be better.
Most of the sequels are well worth it. About the only one which didn't really pull its weight was, I believe, the seventh book - the eighth was, so far, the finale, and managed to wrap things up well, much as Star Trek VI recoveered from the originally intended handoff with V.
Mmmm, brining! Tried that for the first time a couple years back for Crimbo, leaving the turkey marinating away in the fridge in a salty blend of rosemary, garlic, and a few other core herbs. Not just fragrant, but so memorably juicy!
And I suppose I have to wonder - do you know who was responsible for your love of food?
I think I am the one responsible for my love of food. Both sides of my family grew up poor in the Southwest during the Depression and World War 2: CCC camps, WPA, etc. So my mom never had much flair beyond good basic food. I got hooked on the original Japanese Iron Chef, then came Good Eats and America's Test Kitchen. Also got a fantastic meatloaf recipe (roasted vegetable balsamic) from Throwdown With Bobby Flay and a great meatball recipe from the same show, and a couple from Guy Fierri's show (Blaze's pepperoni studded lasagna).
Baking is something that I've done most of my life. My mom took a cake decorating class at my grade school when I was a kid, then was teaching it, then making wedding cakes that were frankly amazing. I did a lot of the cake baking for her. I have refined an oatmeal chocolate chip (with Macadamia nuts) recipe over the last 20+ years that's just excellent and also works at high altitude, can't say that I've had much success with other baking since moving to 9,000'.
I think the first thing that I made from Good Eats was a Pressure-Cooker Chili, my wife had a pressure cooker and one time when I made it we had 2' of snow outside and it was probably 20f, so I just took it outside and set it down and it melted a perfectly round hole in to the snow that endured for several weeks.
I turned my parents on to brined turkey based on Alton Brown's Good Eats recipe, and my dad loved the white meat, formerly he was strictly a dark meat fan.
Next up is making two batches of German Potato Salad, one for my wife's work party at the observatory, one for mine at my school.
Will hafta put "Interstellar" on my list!
Vanilla salad?! What the heck is that? Sounds pretty awesome.
My dad's specialty was peanut butter ice cream, he made his own motorized churn that had fold-down shelves for the two fiberglassed buckets and it had a reverse to uncouple the locking collars.
My mom, and her mother when she was with us, were definitely the cooks in the family.
I can't say I've had full-on peanut butter ice cream.. sounds intriguing!
OK. Ambrosia with lots of vanilla. I can handle that. I'm a big vanilla fan.
I really ought to get my mom's recipe for the peanut butter icecream while she's still with us.

ABSTRACT - Several issues are examined that are central to the establishment and enforcement of research ethics and standards: the question of who benefits from the standards; methods of formulating standards and codes; the costs associated with enforcement. Examples are drawn from recent work on the Standards Committee of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.
Charles C. McClintock (1977) ,"Issues in Establishing and Enforcing Professional Research Ethics and Standards", in NA - Advances in Consumer Research Volume 04, eds. William D. Perreault, Jr., Atlanta, GA : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 258-260.
Several issues are examined that are central to the establishment and enforcement of research ethics and standards: the question of who benefits from the standards; methods of formulating standards and codes; the costs associated with enforcement. Examples are drawn from recent work on the Standards Committee of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.
A number of professional associations, representing a wide range of social scientific inquiry, are currently wrestling with the related issues of establishing and enforcing standards for ethical and scientifically responsible research practices. A series of recent meetings related to a project on confidentiality in social science research sponsored by the Russell Sage Foundation (Carroll and Knerr, 1975), illustrated the variety of association positions on these matters. Representatives from groups such as the Oral History Association, American Psychological Association, American Economic Association, Association of American Law Schools and the American Association for Public Opinion Research indicate that while there may be a relatively uniform desire for ethical codes as a matter of principle, there is little agreement on the specific content or on the means for enforcement of such codes. Indeed, some of the groups represented on the project have no codes of research ethics or standards, while others who have such codes have no mechanisms for enforcement. There are several groups (e.g. AAPOR, American Psychological Association) who have procedures for and experience with the enforcement of research standards.
There are several key issues that are pertinent to the establishment and enforcement of standards for professional conduce in research. Each issue will be briefly explored with particular reference to experience with AAPOR's Code of Professional Ethics and Practices, the Schedule of Procedures for dealing with alleged violations of the Code, and the Standards for Reporting Public Opinion Polls.
These benefits would not be limited to protection from abusive coercion, stress, deception, and the like, but would extend to the realm of the interpretation of research findings. The AAPOR Code, for instance, includes specific principles that apply to the design of research, collection, processing and analysis of data, and the interpretations that are given to the results of research. The AAPOR Standards Committee has attempted to communicate these principles to the general public in order to protect individuals from being mislead by those who would claim research status for pure advocacy activities. In this sense, AAPOR attempts to apply the Code to those who would claim research status for pure advocacy activities. In this sense, AAPOR attempts to apply the Code to those -who are outside the organization as well as its own members. While there is no enforcement power against non-AAPOR groups or individuals, the very existence of the Code gives credibility to any public expressions of concern that AAPOR might make.
The researcher is also a clear beneficiary of professionally promulgated research standards. The existence of professional standards on the protection of subjects' confidentiality can be a significant aid to researchers whose data are under legal subpoena, and who are not covered by the few limited statutory protections that now exist (Feuillan, 1976). Association standards will also serve to influence the content of statutory privileges for research data, as well as other emerging forms of governmental regulation related to social science research (e.g. L.E.A.A. requirements for researchers who are under contract).
Clearly, the clients who sponsor research and society in general will benefit from a situation in which the representativeness and validity of data are maximized. Tybout and Zaltman (1974) have argued that research data will be more valid if produced under conditions favorable to the rights of subjects. Their position centers around the assumption that if subjects are fully informed about research procedures and are confident that their data will remain confidential, they will be more likely to participate openly and honestly in the study. Whether or not these procedures will always lead to improved response rates and more accurate data is to some extent an empirical question; one that the Census Bureau has contracted out for extensive investigation. It is safe to say that improving the public image of social science research can do no harm. Based on the findings of the American Statistical Association's Conference on Surveys of Human Populations (1973), it seems certain that professional associations have a lead role to play in creating this image, and their attitudes towards ethical research practices will be a critical aspect of that role. There is no doubt that AAPOR and its Standards Committee have made good use of the Code of Professional Ethics and Practices and the Standards for Reporting Public Opinion Polls in Enhancing the meaning and values of survey research as a uniquely important aspect of a democratic society.
There are some who would agree that benefits do not naturally derive from ethical standards as applied to research practices. The question is not so much whether we should have professional research standards, but rather how they should be formulated. Gergin (1973), for one, has stated that questions of harm and benefit from research procedures should be an empirical question based on subjects' evaluations. Indeed, several researchers have followed this advice in evaluating subject's and researchers' perceptions of stress, discomfort, or immorality associated with a wide range of potential experimental procedures (Sullivan and Deiker, 1972; Fart and Seaver, 1975), and in examining the effects of informed consent procedures on dependent measures (Resnick and Schwartz, 1973). One general finding among these studies is that research subjects had greater tolerance than researchers for the procedures in question. On the issue of informed consent, Rubin and Mitchell (1976) have seriously questioned how far the researcher should go, with the fear that one might create in the subjects some of the potential ill effects of a study through a self-fulfilling prophecy process.
The point to be emphasized in that the actual formulation of ethical standards can be very difficult in several ways. First, there is the question of what is good and bad practice. In some instances, as noted above, there are those who would argue that this is an empirical rather than a philosophical/ethical question. Second, there is the problem of defining terms. Is it deception to tell a respondent that an interview will last thirty minutes when it may go for forty-five minutes? Is it a form of coercion to suggest that the results of a study may be helpful to the residents of the sample area, as a means of gaining respondent cooperation? Is it a violation of confidentiality to pursue 100% validation even if it means checking with someone other than the respondent? Finally, even where there is agreement that a questionable procedure is being used, there may be competing values that argue for its ethical justification. For instance, Miller's (1972) review of the literature has shown that under many circumstances there were no procedural substitutes for deception that would produce equally valid data. To ban deception as a research practice is to sacrifice the values of the investigator's commitment to valid research and the potential societal benefits that might derive from the research.
A solution to these problems lies in the methods used by the professional association to establish and publish research standards. AAPOR is quite through in its dissemination of its Code. However, in comparison to the American Psychological Association, for example, there is relatively little context provided in the AAPOR Code itself. The APA Code provides, as background information, operational examples of terms and principles which not only helps with the definitional problems, but also gives the reader a sense of the competing values that always exist in a decision about the conduct of research. The values in competition may be within the Code itself (e.g. maximizing validity vs. maximizing subjects' rights), or they may exist in a broader social context (e.g. researchers vs. legislators vs. subjects vs. courts). The APA Code is exemplary in terms of the extensive documentation and contextual discussion surrounding each principle. While the method is undoubtedly expensive in t/me and money, it serves as a more adequate educational too -- an ideal towards which any code of standards should strive.
The method for formulation of a professional standards code will be one important factor in its observance, and will also have a bearing on the cost and effectiveness of enforcement. To issue a list of prescriptions and proscriptions is to take only the first step in dealing with the maintenance of ethical principles. As suggested in the previous section, extensive documentation of a code may provide the necessary sense of context for judging whether to pursue an alleged act of misconduct. The alternative is to form ad hoc committees who will have to create that sense of context in each instance. The cost will have to enter at some point if enforcement is to be taken seriously.
An essential feature of any enforcement proceeding is an established set of procedures. AAPOR and its Standards Committee labored for several years to define a Schedule of Procedures for dealing with alleged violations of the Code of Ethics. The procedures must be fair to the accused and the accuser, they must be legally sound, they should strive for efficiency, and they will have to take account of the organizational structure of their parent association.
Needless to say, without enforcement any set of professional standards are likely to become window dressing. They will not be taken as seriously be courts or legislatures, and they will fall short of their educational goals. This is not to suggest that well documented, democratically derived standards cannot be useful on their own. However, in light of the emerging Federal concern with the regulation of social science research (Carroll, 1976), an association's active engagement in self-regulation would serve as an important protection against the loss of professional autonomy in research activities.
There are several costs that can be anticipated in connection with enforcement. One, that was alluded to earlier, has to do with a tightening of the boundaries of acceptable research practice. As was suggested in the minority report of AAPOR's investigation into the Opinion Research Corporation's consumer advocacy poll (AAPOR, 1976), there may be certain methodological practices that are better judged in the scientific market place than in the confines of an ad hoc committee. This is an issue that cannot be separated from questions about methods of formulation and decisions about the focus of benefits.
There are also the very burdensome administrative costs associated with enforcement. Recent experience with AAPOR Standards Committee suggests that the salience of a code of ethics and its active enforcement require a substantial time commitment from a committee chairman. He or she must not only call matters to the attention of the committee and the association's leadership and general membership, but they must also respond to inquiries, complaints and the like. Individual committee members will also need to make sacrifices of time and energy. There are the direct costs associated with developing, publicizing and enforcing a code -- telephone, travel, printing and re-printing, legal consultation. There are less direct and more psychological costs such as the reasonable apprehensions of association officers regarding lawsuits stemming from enforcement proceedings. The association can obtain indemnification insurance but that too is a cost, and requires something more of a psychological commitment to the idea of standards for professional conduct in research. To make professional standards a visible part of an association's creed requires the recognition that all of these costs are inevitable, and the commitment from the association's leadership that the benefits are worth the sacrifice.

1. ESOP Definition – What is it? How did it begin?
An ESOP is a company funded retirement plan that purchases KE&G Construction, Inc. stock for eligible employees at NO cost to the employees. In 2006 the KE&G ESOP was formed and the KE&G Stockholders sold 49% ownership of KE&G's capital stock to the KE&G ESOP. This purchase was made possible with a contribution of approximately 45% of the purchase price and a loan from KE&G Construction, Inc. to the KE&G ESOP. The contribution was a gift to the ESOP from the company and the loan is being repaid from the ESOP's share of company profits.
2. Eligibility – When do I become an employee owner?
You will be eligible to participate in the Plan retroactively to the first day of the Plan Year (each January 1) during the Plan Year in which you first complete 1,000 Hours of Service.
3. Benefits – What's so good about the ESOP?
The KE&G ESOP is an opportunity for you to gain stock ownership in a growing and profitable company, again, with NO cost to you. Also, you have an opportunity to make a positive impact on the value of KE&G's capital stock, and your retirement benefits, by thinking and acting like the employee stock owner that you are.
4. Risks – What could happen?
Just like the stock market, KE&G's stock value can rise and fall. With an ESOP, however, you have the ability to help protect KE&G's stock value and benefit yourself by the excellent work and decisions that you make on a daily basis.
5. Trustees – Who are they and what is their role?
The Board of Directors of KE&G selects the ESOP Trustee. Their main responsibility is to manage the KE&G ESOP in the best interest of all KE&G's employee stock owners.
6. Communication Committee – Who are they and what is their role?
The KE&G ESOP Communication Committee is a diversified group of employee stock owners whose main goals are to promote the KE&G ESOP and to participate in the education of all employee stock owners. If you are an eligible employee stock owner then you are eligible to join this committee. About one half of the committee is replaced each year.
7. Vesting – When is it really mine?
8. Distributions – How do I get my money and when?
In the event you separate from service with KE&G because of death, permanent disability or retirement, distribution of your plan benefits will commence during the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which you separated from service. The details of this distribution are described in your Summary Plan Description. In the event you separate from service with KE&G for reasons other than death, permanent disability or retirement, distribution of your Plan Benefits will commence either the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which you separated from service or the sixth year following the Plan Year in which you separated form service depending on the balance in your account. The details of this distribution are described in your Summary Plan Description.
9. Other Information – Where can I learn more?
KE&G believes in educating its employee stock owners on all aspects of our ESOP program. We will be holding ESOP events and educational opportunities to aid in this effort. The members of the ESOP Communication Committee are available to answer your questions regarding our ESOP.
This document is merely a representation of the Summary Plan Description. It is strongly recommended that you read and understand the KE&G ESOP Summary Plan Description provided to you when you first become a KE&G employee.

Jackie Macadam reflects on the impact of a charity bringing together fathers and their children.
AS a society, we are guilty of underplaying, even underappreciating, the role that men, and fathers play in their children's lives. There can't be many of us who have not spoken about dad 'babysitting' the kids while mum escapes to get a haircut or a day out with friends. Yet they are his children too. We don't say mum is 'babysitting' when she's at home….
Somehow, the idea that mum cares and dad earns has taken a deep hold in our society – and that attitude even extends to our churches, where child-care is very much usually a 'mums and toddlers' type situation.
But a new charity is helping to move these ideas to the dustbin of history.
'Who Let The Dads Out?' was founded by Mark Chester and is run by Tony Sharp, its co-ordinator.
"We started 'Who Let The Dads Out?' in 2003 at Hoole Baptist Church in Chester. We ran a thriving parent and toddler group and knew many mums and children from our community, but we didn't know the dads – so we tried a one off session for dads, male carers and their children," says Mark.

Anne Cecilie Brusletto (* 22. Juni 1988 in Oslo) ist eine norwegische Skirennläuferin. Sie erreicht ihre besten Platzierungen in den technischen Disziplinen Slalom und Riesenslalom und gewann 2010 die Riesenslalomwertung des Nor-Am Cups.

Karriere
Anne Cecilie Brusletto nahm im November 2003 erstmals an FIS-Rennen teil. Ab der Saison 2004/05 konnte sie sich regelmäßig in den Top-10 platzieren und erste Rennen gewinnen. Sie nahm auch an der Juniorenweltmeisterschaft 2004 in Maribor und am European Youth Olympic Festival 2005 in der Schweiz teil, erreichte dort aber keine vorderen Platzierungen. Bei den Norwegischen Meisterschaften fuhr sie im März 2005 mit dem dritten Platz im Riesenslalom erstmals auf das Podest. Im März 2007 nahm sie zum zweiten Mal an einer Juniorenweltmeisterschaft teil und belegte Platzierungen um Rang 34, nur im Slalom schied sie aus. Ab Januar 2004 war sie auch mehrmals im Europacup am Start, kam aber vorerst noch nicht in die Punkteränge. Erst am 9. November 2007 gewann sie mit dem achten Platz im Indoor-Slalom im alpincenter Bottrop ihre ersten Punkte und bis heute blieb dies ihr bestes Europacupergebnis. Bei FIS-Rennen hingegen erreichte sie zahlreiche Podestplätze und gewann im Februar 2008 gleich sechs Rennen in Folge. Bei den Norwegischen Meisterschaften 2009 wurde sie im Riesenslalom Zweite hinter Lotte Smiseth Sejersted.

Seit 2009 studiert Brusletto an der University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Vereinigte Staaten. Sie fährt daher seit dem Winter 2009/10 hauptsächlich Rennen in den USA. Im Nor-Am Cup gelangen ihr im Gegensatz zum Europacup große Erfolge und sie feierte Mitte Dezember zwei Siege in den Riesenslaloms von Panorama. Mit weiteren drei Top-10-Resultaten gewann sie in der Saison 2009/10 die Riesenslalomwertung, wurde 15. in der Slalomwertung und Siebente im Gesamtklassement. Nach ihren Siegen im Nor-Am Cup erhielt sie am 24. Januar 2010 im Riesenslalom von Cortina d'Ampezzo erstmals die Möglichkeit an einem Weltcuprennen teilzunehmen, schied dabei jedoch im ersten Durchgang aus. In der Saison 2010/11 konnte sie wegen mehrerer Ausfälle nicht an ihre Nor-Am-Ergebnisse des Vorjahres anknüpfen. Nach einer Verletzung im Sommer 2011 musste sie die gesamte Saison 2011/12 pausieren. Erst im Januar 2013 nahm sie wieder an Rennen teil.
