You Need to See This Cheesy Vintage Video of Sun Valley, Idaho in the 1940s
Michelle Heart Published: April 29, 2022
While Sun Valley may not be America's first ski area, it's considered the country's first destination ski resort. This cheesy vintage video shows you what the resort looked like about a decade after it opened.
According to Visit Sun Valley, Union Pacific Railroad's chairman, Averell Harriman hired Count Felix Schaffgotsch of Austria to help find the perfect location for America's next great ski resort. Schaffgotsch toured many places in the Rocky Mountains, but ultimately told Harriman "Among the many attractive spots I have visited, this combines the more delightful features of any place I have seen in the United States, Switzerland, or Austria for a winter ski resort" after visiting Ketchum.
It was a win, win situation for ski enthusiasts and the railroad, which originally owned Sun Valley Resort. Ketchum had once been a booming mining town, but once the mining operations slowed down, most of Ketchum's population decided to leave too. Once the resort opened in 1936, there was a renewed interest in train trips to the area.
YouTube/PeriscopeFilm
Union Pacific was also responsible for engineering and installing the world's first chair lifts at Sun Valley. You'll see them in the stills we pulled from this vintage film that we found on YouTube!
It was shared by Periscope Film, a group dedicated to preserving historic 8mm, 16mm and 35 mm films. According to the description they posted on YouTube, this promotional film for Sun Valley was called "Skifully Yours" and was produced by the Ford Motor Company in 1947. Ski pioneer and film producer, Otto Lang, makes an appearance to demonstrate ski skills toward the end of the film.

An old vintage film uploaded to YouTube takes you back in time to see what the early years at Sun Valley resort looked like. You can watch the full film and read more about how the resort came to be by clicking HERE.

The back of one of these historic postcards describes Burke, ID like this "This quaint show-piece of the area's early-day mining is jammed in a canyon with hardly room for its street, railroad and stream. Shoshone county is one of the world's great mining regions and has produced over 2 billion dollars - mostly in lead, silver and zinc." Burke's mining operations came to a halt in 1991 and the remaining residents left town. Today, the structures that have survived look like the town that time forgot.

Q: Scala Futures. Action if one of several fails I have a situation where I want to execute several tasks concurrently as a future so that if one of them fails, the others will still execute.
If one fails I want to log it's error.
I want my parent thread to be able to tell if each one has succeeded or not and then perform some action based on that. Eg, if one of the futures failed, print "Hey, one of the futures failed"
val futureA = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean)
val futureB = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean)
val futureC = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean)

futureA.onFailure (case t => println(future A failed ) + t.getMessage)
futureB.onFailure (case t => println(future B failed ) + t.getMessage)
futureC.onFailure (case t => println(future C failed ) + t.getMessage)

if (one of these futures failed) {
  println("One of the futures failed")
  throw new someNewError
}

If any or all of the futures fails, I want to get their stack trace logged but I don't want to then cause my whole program to error until all futures have had a chance to run. Because they could all error for different reasons, I don't want to just repeat their error, I want to throw a new one.
I've been reading http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/futures.html but just can't get my head round this one.
I don't want to use "Await" as that requires a time and I want to give the futures as much time as they want to run. Let's assume for now that they "will" complete but in an undetermined timeframe that depends entirely on data size.

A: Should be something like this:
val futureA = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean).recoverWith{
  case e:Throwable => println(future A failed ) + t.getMessage; Future.failed(e)
}
val futureB = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean).recoverWith{
  case e:Throwable => println(future B failed ) + t.getMessage; Future.failed(e)
}
val futureC = Future(doTaskThatReturnsABoolean).recoverWith{
  case e:Throwable => println(future  failed ) + t.getMessage; Future.failed(e)
}

val futures = List(futureA, futureB, futureC)
Future.sequence(futures).recoverWith{
  case p:Throwable => println("One of the futures failed"); Future.failed(new SomeNewError)
}

Future.sequence helper method converts collections of futures into a future wrapping the collection of results. If one of the source futures fails the resulting future will be failed.

Short hair's got a lot going for it. Rocking short locks means saving money on shampoo and conditioner and enjoying that wash-and-go effortlessness – and wearing your hair short makes hot, sticky days feel more comfortable. The lack of styling options scares some people away from short hair, and it's true that not every style can be created with a pixie cut or blunt bob. But if your hair is long enough for a ponytail, it's probably long enough to be coaxed into at least one style of bun.
Long hair can be swept up and twisted into a bun easily, but that strategy won't work for short hair. Even if you're going for a messy look, start by gathering the hair in a ponytail. Securing the hair with an elastic band gives the bun the structure that it needs so that sections don't fall out. Use a thin band the same color as your hair. The ponytail can be high if the hair is long enough, but a low bun is a better option, because the underside of the hair at the back of the head is generally where the shortest strands are. With a low bun, even short hairs at the back of the neck can stay put.
To create a small, neat bun, grab the ponytail and start twirling the entire section around your finger to create one long twist. As the twist gets tighter, the hair may naturally start curling around the base of the ponytail. If not, spiral the twisted hair around the base yourself. Secure the bun with a clear elastic hair band or bobby pins. Shake your head slightly to see if the bun feels secure; if not, redo the twist, add more bobby pins or spray the bun with hair spray.
Creating a messy bun is ideal for short hair because it's not supposed to look perfect. This style works best for people whose hair can hold some texture. Start by backcombing sections of the ponytailed hair to create more volume. Spray the teased sections with a little bit of hair spray to give the hair some hold. Once the hair is a little puffy and has plenty of height, gently shape it into a messy bun. Slide bobby pins into the base of the bun to keep the hair in place. If the bun has some flyaway hairs, all the better.
Making a "ballerina bun" may actually be easier with short hair than it is with long hair. Achieving this style is easiest with the use of a hair donut, a small cushion that's shaped like a donut. Slip it onto the base of the ponytail, spread out the ponytail so the hair surrounds the cushion and slide a hair band over the entire thing to keep the donut and the hair in place. Tuck the ends under the band.

15 worded, were usually created to inform, these handwritten and unembellished reports were intended simply to record, and they therefore represent the purest form of primary historical source.24 Where clarification, confirmation, or triangulation seemed necessary, specialist and trade periodicals, national and local newspapers, and written testimonials were consulted. In this context, attempts were made to engage with ex-Gardner employees, directors, and Gardner family members. Although most of these met with guarded reticence, a limited – brief – but valuable correspondence with the above-mentioned Dion Houghton and a similarly informative sequence of letters from Carl Lingard, an ex-employee and trade union official at Gardner during most of the period covered by the three empirical chapters of this thesis, yielded clarifying information. V Background and Structure In general, economic historians divide the thirty-year period covered by the empirical chapters of this thesis into three distinct, but to some extent overlapping, periods.25 The first, that started shortly after the end of the Second World War and ended with the first 'oil shock' in 1973, is usually regarded as a period of sustained growth and prosperity in the industrialised nations of the world.26 The second period, which began at some stage during the late 1960s, is generally identified as an era of increasing turbulence and disorder when rising inflation resulted in slower economic growth in most advanced economies, and severe sociopolitical upheavals in others.27 The third period is almost universally considered an era when, especially in post-1979 Britain, the 'old' ways of organising the economy were abandoned to be replaced by a new laissez-faire system, regulated solely by market forces.28 While the three empirical chapters generally correspond to these phases, their 24 See Marc Bloch, The Historian's Craft (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1954), pp. 60 – 62; Arthur Marwick, The Nature of History, Third Edition (Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1989), pp. 6, 199. 25 For example, 'The twenty-six years between 1964 and 1990 fall into three contrasting periods …' Sir Alexander Cairncross, 'Economic policy and performance, 1964 – 1990', in Floud and McCloskey, Economic History of Britain, Second Edition, Vol. 3, p. 67. 26 'The economic performance of the Western economies between 1950 and 1973 is now firmly inscribed in the annals as the period of the long boom'.

Mark Aldous heads managed services business of Delta Capita
16 June 2017 Consultancy.uk
Delta Capita
More news on
International financial services consultancy Delta Capita has hired Mark Aldous from Credit Suisse to head up its growing managed services business.
In his new role, Mark Aldous will focus on accelerating the growth of Delta Capita's managed services business – one of the firm's four arms next to its management consulting, technology consulting and solutions practices. The service line provides a combination of on-site, off-site and offshore outsourcing services to players in the financial services space, delivered by the firm's London and Johannesburg offices.
Aldous brings with him roughly twenty five years of industry experience in derivatives, structured products, alternative investments and the development of associated platforms to the consulting firm. In his latest role at Credit Suisse he was responsible for the bank's EMEA Structured Products platform, meanwhile, he started his new position in April and is based out of Delta Capita's London office, located at 40 Bank Street Canary Wharf.
"Mark's background dovetails perfectly with our specialist practitioner approach. As the industry faces pressing product governance challenges under MiFID II, Mark's industry-renowned structured product expertise makes him ideally placed to advise financial institutions and establish utilities in this space", said Joe Channer, CEO of Delta Capita.
The transfer of the experienced banker follows shortly after his former employer announced it has outsourced its EMEA structured products business to the consulting firm. With the move, the Swiss bank aims at improving its standards and operations whilst lowering costs for end customers.
Expansion of managed services
Looking ahead, Channer highlighted that Delta Capita is aiming to ramp up its managed services business this year across its footprint. "This hire signifies the latest stage in our investment drive to build out our wider managed services business," he remarked. Months ago Delta Capita also hired Rob Kemna, formerly a Senior Executive Vice President at Rabobank, to establish and grow its managed services business in the Netherlands.
The firm came off to a flying start in the domain last year when it was appointed as managed services consultant to the Plato Partnership, a consortium of asset managers and broker-dealers, including BlackRock, Barclays, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi and Deutsche Bank, dedicated to improving equities markets. And in Q1 this year the firm was tapped by a consortium of banks to support them with regulatory work, while in April it acquired Appendium in a move that significantly bolstered its technology and managed services offering. The addition enables Delta Capita to act as a full-scope managed service solution for securities finance aimed primarily at the sell side, said Channer.
The firm's CEO and co-founder added that the consultancy is enjoying "significant demand from clients", as they seek to revamp their business model and move away from their legacy and often ailing in-house technology and operations platforms towards a more robust and effective solution. "We operate a standardised service model, supported by expert resources situated both onshore in London and offshore in Johannesburg, offering significant cost reduction", he said.
Commenting on his new challenge, Mark Aldous stated, "Delta Capita is perfectly positioned to support financial institutions as they continue to adapt to regulatory and market structure changes. In this new, more complex environment, our managed services offering enables clients to reduce fixed costs, reduce complexity while increasing the scope and quality of the services they receive."

Brisbane's first female bishop not one for cliches
By Natalie Bochenski
Brisbane's first woman bishop always believed in God, but you could say she really "found" him in a small hotel room in China.
The Venerable Alison Taylor will take up leadership of the southern region from April 2013, replacing current bishop, the Right Reverend Geoff Smith.
Archdeacon Alison-Taylor, Brisbane's first female bishop.
Archdeacon Taylor built a successful career as an urban planner in the 1980s, before having her daughter Miranda and turning to priestly studies in 1993.
In the late 1980s, she led an Australian aid project to restore and categorise European-built heritage buildings in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, north of the capital Beijing.
"None of them were being used as churches, they were factories or warehouses," she said.
"And that made me very sad. I realised what a treasure the church was, and how there must be many people in Tianjin who really missed being able to worship in a church."
Instead, she found a small community of believers meeting every Thursday night in a room at the designated "Foreign Experts" hotel.
"There were a number of staff who were Christian, and they kept a hotel room aside as vacant every Thursday, and foreign residents who wished to could come together and worship there," she said.
"People would sit and read the Bible, people from all sorts of different denominations, praying together and sharing their experiences of the day.
"I found that a profound experience."
Archdeacon Taylor's restoration work was interrupted by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Ms Taylor said she found China's atheist ideology more oppressive the longer she was there.
"It's very easy for us today to say that Australia is a secular society. But in fact the impact of the church is still great, and continues to grow and evolve and change," she said.
"You need to be somewhere where that impact and that influence has been cut off to actually sense the difference."
It helped her decide to leave the "fine profession" of urban planning behind.
"The reality of God and God's people and God's community was so great that I couldn't focus, I couldn't in my working life give my energy to anything else, and I still feel that 20 years later – although I have used my skills in urban planning in different ways since I was ordained."
Archdeacon Taylor is currently vicar of St John's Anglican Church in Camberwell, in Melbourne's East.
When she is consecrated as Bishop of the southern region diocese in St John's Cathedral on April 6, 2012, she will become the fourth Anglican woman bishop in Australia, and only the 34th in the world.
But she doesn't like cliches on the respective roles of men and women in the higher ranks of the church.
"I don't like to say women are more caring than men, more gentle. I don't like those kinds of stereotypes, but I think it's true that women have a different perspective on life, because their life experience tends to be different," she said.
"It's important to have the full range of the people of God represented in their leadership."
Last month the General Synod of the Church of England narrowly voted against promoting female priests to the bishopric, but Archdeacon Taylor believes that will change sooner rather than later.
"I have been surprised at the strength of concern throughout the UK about this decision," she said.
"The Anglican community moves forward in an organic way that seems a bit mysterious to people outside it. Sometimes the Church of England leads, and sometimes it doesn't."
Archdeacon Taylor's priorities once she starts her new role will be meeting her flock, with 47 parishes in her diocese stretching from the Brisbane River to Coolangatta.
She says the greatest challenge will be the Royal Commission into child sex abuse, ordered by Prime Minister Julia Gillard last month.
Abuse in church-run institutions will be a major focus of the commission, as well as how those institutions responded to allegations of wrongdoing.
Archdeacon Taylor admitted that many people had lost trust in churches due to the tragic historic abuse of children.
"I think it is important for everyone to listen to the stories as they are told again. Many of them are horrific, and people deserve to have their stories heard with respect," she said.
She said the Anglican Church has welcomed the royal commission into the issue, which has affected the whole of Australian society.
"I think it will again be a time for us to review what we have done in the past and what we are doing now, to remind ourselves that no one is above scrutiny."

Liquidity Services (LQDT) May Report Negative Earnings: Know the Trend Ahead of Next Week's Release
Zacks November 29, 2018
Liquidity Services (LQDT) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2018. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on December 6, 2018, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This surplus equipment company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.14 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +57.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $48.36 million, down 21.2% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is subject to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Liquidity Services?
For Liquidity Services, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Liquidity Services will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Liquidity Services would post a loss of $0.22 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.07, delivering a surprise of +68.18%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Liquidity Services doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Via SNY, here's an article breaking down the running back position and the battle for roster spots at training…


Hannah Evans, a 27-year-old woman from South Wales with several rare diseases, has reached her £37,500 fundraising goal that will support her trip to America to access an experimental and potentially life-saving treatment.
Hannah suffers from a combination of three conditions: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS, mast cell activation disorder, and a blood cancer. The blood cancer is so rare that she's actually the first person in the UK to be diagnosed. Because she was turned down for funding, her Just Giving page is still open.
A very complex connective tissue disorder which affects sufferers differently. With me, it affects my mobility, energy and a lot more. Many people with this condition are in pain daily. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardic Syndrome (POTS)�My body's autonomic system doesn't work properly, so everything my body is meant to do automatically, such as control heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, digestion, etc. doesn't work. This wreaks havoc on my body and my ability to live day-to-day without medical intervention.
EDS is a very complex inherited condition that causes weakened connective tissue, and affects each person with it differently. It is often linked to very flexible joints and skin that stretches and is easily damaged or bruised.
POTS is characterised by a large increase in heart rate from standing or sitting up, caused by the automatic nervous system functioning differently from that of most people. People with PoTS can experience dizziness, fainting, and fatigue amongst other symptoms.
This condition seriously affects immune system functioning. As a result, allergies and even small infections become huge risks that can make Hannah extremely ill. To manage the condition she has begun wearing a mask whenever she goes out.
However, one treatment that Hannah believes could be lifesaving is in the United States and paying to access it will be expensive. Hannah and her family fundraised with a goal of £37,500, which has now been exceeded. In total, she has received £16,065 in donations from 547 supporters through her JustGiving fundraiser page. She has been supported by communities who found her through the internet, as well as family members and friends who have completed runs and other fundraising initiatives in her name.
You can keep up to date with Hannah Evans through her blog, which can be found here.

Robots Help Siemens Cope in Brazil
Subsidiary's CFO recounts how robots have helped sustain productivity during the country's prolonged crisis.
David Katz
As part of its operating philosophy, Siemens, the German conglomerate operating in more than 200 countries and regions, applies a yearly target range of 3% to 5% of productivity growth to each of its subsidiaries, to go along with certain cost objectives. Not unexpectedly, Siemens Brazil has had a tough time hitting those targets over the last three years or so.
A wholly owned subsidiary that takes in about $1.5 billion a year in sales, the São Paulo-based company has faced "a very particular situation here because of the economics and political crisis in Brazil, mixed with a very high inflation," Siemens Brazil's finance chief, Martin Kerkhoff, tells CFO.
Although Brazil has shown signs lately of emerging from the biggest economic morass the country has ever known, it's still in the grips of the consequences of the aftermath of a massive government corruption scandal. The nation's inflation rate hit a 12-year high of 10.67% in 2015, and its unemployment rate hit a five-year high of 13.7% just this March.
All these factors have made growth a hard thing to come by for any company in the country, including Siemens Brazil. The subsidiary sells such things as turbines and other power-generation equipment; factory automation systems; and health-care X-ray and MRI machines to large Brazilian organizations. Peril to its customers, of course, imperils the company.
Lacking substantial growth, Siemens Brazil's targeted productivity gains had to stem from some other source. "If we don't achieve productivity through growth, we have to work on the other side of the equation, which is basically adjusting the cost levels," Kerkhoff says.
One way the subsidiary has cut its costs has been to lay off 15% to 20% of its employees — with the cuts stressing administrative rather than blue collar workers — over the last two years, according to the CFO.
As a German, Kerkhoff refrains from commenting on Brazil's political problems. Asked how he and other executives can assess political risk in the country, he replies that the "political crisis here is such that nobody knows where the country will be one year from now."
Nevertheless, a company spokesperson said, Siemens has no intention of exiting Brazil, where it's been operating for more than a century. Although the subsidiary has been affected by the crisis, "we keep trusting in Brazil's political system," the spokeswoman said, and will continue to invest in the country.
But amid such turmoil, Kerkhoff says the only way his company can manage political risk is to implement what it refers to as its "master plan project."
The project consists of "addressing our main internal administrative processes, like purchase-to-pay and order-to cash, and working on automating these processes to continue adding higher levels of productivity," he adds.
A key goal is to eliminate steps in each of the processes, says Kerkhoff, who reports to the finance chief of the organization's American operations who, in turn, reports to the global parent company's CFO in Germany. And at the center of these efforts is something he calls robotic process automation (RPA).
"I'm not a techie. But, to put it in my words, it's just simple algorithms that are applied to routine work. Basically it's a rule-based automation of routine work that is currently done by human beings," he says, attempting to define RPA.
But it's robots that actually do the work. "These RPA tools can read structured digital input coming from a pdf file or an email from a workflow [document] or a database from SAP, and then interact with humans," the CFO says.
Provided by Blue Prism, a U.K. software company specializing in RPA, the system can run a program, extract information from a tool, copy information from one tool to the other, autonomously send or receive emails, and process information received within emails, he notes. Launched in 2016, RPA was the start of an effort to digitalize the company.
Kerkhoff is quick to caution that RPA isn't nearly as artificial as rocket science. "You have to be careful. This is not [artificial intelligence]. It's not an IBM Watson, for example. This is just a simple tool that can work on routine work and do what it's been told to do beforehand," he says. "It replaces human beings on a very transactional basis."
Still, wasn't this a heavy cost to assume in the teeth of a national financial crisis?
"Actually, I thought the same," Kerkhoff recalls. But when his team showed him a video of how RPA worked, his first reaction was that the firm needed to invest in the technology — "which I was actually willing to do, by the way," he says.
"But in the end the investment is very low because Siemens Brazil pays moderate fees on the basis of how much the company uses the RPA," he says. In the last few months, the company created an algorithm enabling the robots to work in any specific area that it defines.
The programming work is done by an internal team. "And these guys are real techies, a team of young guys coming from a variety of different areas in our company, people with finance and technical backgrounds," he says, noting that the company has retrained the team to be able to program the robots.
"It is not that difficult to re-skill somebody to program these robots. It might sound very high level and difficult to program them. But in fact it's just a basic way of designing a workflow for the robot, just like creating, for example, an Internet page," according to the CFO. "This is something that an interested person can learn in two to three months."
The retraining is being done by a core unit of five IT experts, two of them recently hired. One member of the team, formerly an industrial engineer with Siemens, has considerable knowledge of factory automation.
Kerkhoff gives the following example of what the robots are doing for his company.
"I want to send a transformer with a weight of two tons from our factory to a customer in the southern part of Brazil. This information is then extracted by the robot. The robot analyzes this situation. It realizes that we need to send a transformer to a certain region in the country. Then it analyzes other demands for the same day and for the same region. And then it automatically sends out an email to the sales departments of a preselected group of freight shippers," he says.
"Our suppliers have one day to send an answer to this request for proposal coming from the robot confirming or not if they are willing to take on this task. The robot automatically compares the incoming answers of these suppliers and automatically kicks the cheapest supplier through. Once the robot has chosen the cheapest supplier, it creates the purchase order in our SAP system and sends it to the cheapest supplier," according to Kerkhoff.
"And once the service is done, the robot also compares the incoming invoice with the purchase order created in the system. So a process that previously was highly manual, involving many phone calls back and forth among many people," the CFO says, "is now done by one virtual robot that replaces 15 people, more or less."

I'm glad that someone in social work not only had this concern but took the time and effort to ask, and ask realsocialskills in particular. This answer articulates for me so much about what I and family members have run into in these situations and explores many issues I identify with. And also made me think about all the reasons why these questions might be asked, all the reasons why reactions can be so uncomfortable, and what it's like for the asker.
Social work is really, really hard to do well. There's so much going on in the field that puts pressure on social workers to treat people poorly and take them over.
But social workers also sometimes do really important work, and a lot of it is work no one else is doing (the same is true of therapists, which is a similarly problematic field). So I don't mean this as a general condemnation of social workers - social work is important, and important to get right. (There are social work roles that are wholly bad. But not all social work roles are like that). It's hard to be in that field without adopting some really dangerous kinds of thinking.
I wish I knew more about how to do it well. I'm trying to find out as much as I can. Because I really, really want to support people who are trying to be good social workers.


On the Welsh road trip yesterday, we went for a look around the Lost Village Of St Athans.
Philanthropist David Davies, 1st Baron Davies of Llandinam and president of the Ocean Coal Company and his Welfare Officer Captain J. Glynn Jones, co-founders of the Boys' Clubs of Wales were first inspired to build a holiday camp for the sons of miners from the South Wales Coalfield in the early 1920s after attending a youth camp in Kent.
Opened on August 8, 1925, the camp offered them an escape from the polluted and unhealthy atmosphere of Valleys industrial towns and a place to play and be free, as well as being close to the nearby beach.
The camp was requisitioned in 1940 for military use but returned to civilian use in 1946. In 1962, the centre was refurbished and a youth hostel opened on site as well as facilities for teaching work-related skills such as mechanical engineering.
Use of the village declined with the growth of cheap holidays abroad and the decline in coal mining in the Welsh valleys. In 1990, the Boys' Clubs of Wales, the organisation responsible for running the camp, went into administration, forcing the site's closure.

Al-Mutanabbi
Part of Makers of the Muslim World
By Margaret Larkin
This exhaustive and yet enthralling study considers the life and work of al-Mutanabbi (915-965), often regarded as the greatest of the classical Arab poets. A revolutionary at heart and often imprisoned or forced into exile throughout his tumultuous life, al-Mutanabbi wrote both controversial satires and when employed by one of his many patrons, laudatory panegyrics. Employing an ornate style and use of the ode, al-Mutanabbi was one of the first to successfully move away from the traditionally rigid form of Arabic verse, the 'qasida'.

For the week between June 12th and June 18th, it's one Nintendo Switch game replacing another: with the newly released IP, ARMS, knocking back down Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to the No.2 spot. Interestingly, Nintendo pulled off the trifecta in the newest charts: finishing 1,2, and 3 (with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild grabbing No. 3).
As for the good ol' hardware charts, I'll give you one guess….it's the Switch, again. As it has done every week since its launch, Nintendo's newest hybrid console is once again holding off the PS4 for the gold trophy spot.
Beyond ARMS, there are no new additions to this week's Top 20.


The eighth entry in the Walt Disney Signature Collection is The Little Mermaid, which splashes onto Blu-Ray and 4K on February 26th. As is now common for the Signature line, the Blu-Ray repeats the transfer from the previous Diamond Edition and ports over all of the bonus features, split between the Blu-Ray disc and the included digital copy. With new bonus features, diehard fans will likely want to pick it up again, while casual fans already have most of the good stuff.
If any post-Walt animated film belongs in the Walt Disney Signature Collection, it's The Little Mermaid. It single handedly reinvigorated the animated medium, opening the door for the Disney Decade and all the great films that came in its wake, including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King. In addition, Walt Disney personally tried to develop this Hans Christian Andersen story and was unable to make it work.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Walt Disney Signature Collection release of The Little Mermaid adds new retrospective bonus features to over three hours of previously released content, all of which is included when you redeem the included digital copy.
Alan Menken and the Leading Ladies (15:45) – Alan Menken (Composer) and Jodi Benson (Ariel) sit down with Paige O'Hara (Belle – Beauty and the Beast), Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas), Lilliias White (Calliope the Muse – Hercules), and Donna Murphy (Mother Gothel – Rapunzel) sit around a piano to sing and discuss their contributions to Disney Animation. It's 15-minutes of pure joy and Alan Menken's glee is infectious.
Audio Commentary (1:22:50) – Ron Clements, John Musker, and Alan Menken lead an insightful discussion of the film and reveal many behind-the-scenes secrets, including some hidden easter eggs.
Classic Bonus Preview (1:09) – A brief ad for some of the bonus features that await when you redeem your digital copy, including a lot of Ashley Tisdale.
The English 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix is identical to the one from the Diamond Edition. Score and sound effects travel around the room, creating an immersive experience that puts you under the sea and in Ariel's world. Other audio options are French and Spanish 5.1.
The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite films and the first one I remember seeing in a theater as a kid. Any excuse to revisit it is always a treat and this Walt Disney Signature Collection anniversary edition adds a few insightful and nostalgic bonus features to a collection of worthwhile behind-the-scenes content. There are quite a few ways to get this release, as detailed below.


I recently purchased the flagship model of the much talked about Vitamix brand. The Vitamix 5200. I have to tell you, I was extremely skeptical about how a blender was worth so much money. Personally, I never understood the hype about the blender in the first place. I got to tell you, after 3 weeks with this bad boy, my opinion completely changed.
That is why I am creating this Vitamix Blender 5200 Review.
The main reason I got it is because my sister in law could not stop raving about it during the Holidays. I kept telling her that I really did not see the need, nor did I really think a blender was worth so much. She kept telling me to trust her. I am glad I took the leap. I must admit, I was completely blown away by the construction of this blender. Right when I took it out of the box, I immediately felt the difference between my $50 blender vs. the 5200. The Vitamix 5200 was extremely sturdy feeling and just felt durable. Whereas, my cheap blender felt as if it was going to break if I blended a single apple.
I have never found myself using a blender so much. I thought I would probably use it once a day. Boy was I wrong. I have ended up using the 5200 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It literally has limitless amounts of uses. I use it for blending smoothies, making pancakes, almond milk, and salsa!
I can tell right now, this purchase is going to pay for itself. I have been able to save tons of money by making my own salsa, guacamole, and almond milk. I used to purchase a ton of products that I can now make myself. I estimated that it would take around 2 years for this blender to pay for itself, in savings alone.
The good news about this blender is that I do not have to worry about it breaking or malfunctioning. It is backed with an ironclad 7 year warranty. That is literally longer than the warranty on my car! I must say, Vitamix knows what they are doing in the blender market. They are the top dogs for a reason.
If you are in the market for a blender, there should be one company on your radar – Vitamix. Seriously do not even think about choosing another company. And if you want the best of the best, go for the Vitamix 5200. Hopefully this Vitamix Blender 5200 Review helps some people avoid the mistake of purchasing the wrong blender!

"Couldn't have asked for a better, more friendly, more encouraging, more humorous vocal coach!
You are the Charles Darwin of Vocal Training.
You observe and map out the evolution of your students inner voices. Without you, this would not have been possible!
After moving to Toronto from Montreal, Donna began a journey of vocal training that connected her with coaches in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nashville as well as the Royal Conservatory in Toronto.
Learning is experiential, being guided, using specific rhythms and music patterns along with the most current medically proven principals to maximize vocal technique in a way it cannot do otherwise, resulting in the voice reaching greater potential.
When Donna coaches a vocalist to develop their instrument "voice tones" and "styling" is used allowing the singer to explore greater vocal dimensions. Some people overlook that and simply imitate singers or styles, which never develops the voice properly and diminishes the authentic characteristics of their voice. Often they receive voice information not relevant to their specific voice gifting. This results in confusion about how to sing which does not produce results, only frustration. Donna clears up all the confusion and gets the singer on the fast track to getting the richness of the voice they know they have inside.
Her education in vocal technique and vocal health is extensive. You learn how to use your voice properly, which builds strength and allows your distinct qualities to shine through, and is a member of SOCAN.

5. Strain/Hoarseness, Vocal Nodes, and Voice Burnout: My training through the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh Voice Group means I can work directly with doctors to help you overcome voice problems faster and help singers relearn how to sing so a re-injury, which is common, does not occur. Because vocal technique is stopped immediately when strain and other voice concerns begin, medically safe voice work is introduced to rehabilitate the voice and keep the singer from digressing too far. Often, singers are not sure if they have vocal nodes but that can all be determined during a regular vocal lesson.
6. WHOLE BRAIN LEARNING - Educational Kinesiology Certification: Educational Kinesiology helps students leverage their training and tap into more of their potential through the balance between the technical and creative mind. It helps with memory retention and recall, and is used to speed up learning.

In Toronto it is practiced in a number of Montessori and private schools.
My personal voice training background has exposed me to all aspects of the human voice and all music genres. I have trained privately through the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, have extensive training in Speech Singing and have continued my education through medical programs offered by universities/hospitals in both Canada and the USA for voice function and the health of their voices, for the most current techniques available today.

Thank you goes to instructors Clark A. Rosen, MD FACS, C. Blake Simpson, MD, and Jackie Gartner-Schmidt, PhD for your training and ongoing support. Your insights into the physiology and capability of the human voice catapulted my coaching content far beyond what I could have ever imagined.

Pyongyang reserves right to shoot down US bombers, says North's foreign min.
Monday, 25 September 2017 5:21 PM [ Last Update: Monday, 25 September 2017 5:47 PM ]
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho speaks to the media outside the Millennium Hotel in New York, US, September 25, 2017. (Photo by Reuters)
Amid a war of words between Washington and Pyongyang, the North Koran foreign minister says his country reserves the right to take countermeasures against threats by the United States, including shooting down US strategic bombers.
Ri Yong-ho told reporters in New York on Monday that recent remarks by US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly constituted a declaration of war against Pyongyang.
"The whole world should clearly remember it was the US who first declared war on our country," Ri said, adding "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country."
"In light of the declaration of war by Trump, all options will be on the operations table of the supreme leadership of the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)," the minister said, stressing, "The question of who will be around much longer will be answered then."
The remarks come after in his first speech at the UN General Assembly, Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary.
Trump, who had formerly threatened Pyongyang with "fire and the fury like the world has never seen," renewed the threat at the UN, saying, "The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."
He called North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, a "rocket man" who is "on a suicide mission."
Kim responded to Trump's UN remarks by saying that he "will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history."
Kim: 'Deranged' Trump will 'pay dearly' for his North Korea threats
Speaking before the United Nations, Ri also said Pyongyang was ready for a preemptive nuclear attack against the US if needed.
"Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at UN," Trump tweeted in response, adding, "If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"
The renewed tensions come as there were military maneuvers held by US bombers over waters east of North Korea. The Pentagon said Saturday that its bombers from Guam and Okinawa, in Japan, had flown in international airspace over the waters in "a clear message that the President has many military options to defeat any threat."

North Korea is under mounting international pressure over its missile and military nuclear programs and has been subjected to an array of sanctions by the United Nations. However, Pyongyang says it needs to continue and develop the programs as a deterrent against hostility by the US and its regional allies, including South Korea and Japan.
Russia and China have already warned that no military solution is available to the escalating crisis on the Korean Peninsula, saying the current standoff will only be resolved through dialogue.

Alright, in response to the total decay of modern society and its now very backward stance on the governance of the use of public restrooms, I call your attention to, Operation: Take Our Toilets Back!
It's easy to figure out from my household why the latest battles against the designated gender signs over public restrooms are so disheartening. I have three very innocent impressionable girls that I am trying to raise to be decent law abiding productive, God fearing women someday.
This latest attack on my daughters, yes, it's an attack on them- they are helpless and they can't defend themselves against the perverts who want to use their bathroom, is an indication of what I have said so many times before: that once you allow for any variation of perversion of lifestyle as it relates to gender outside of what was designed infiltrate, you will have an upset of decent morals, the breakdown of the cooperation of mankind to live peaceably with one another and the eradication of basic common sense. Hence, the dilemma we now see in our modern culture on bathroom choice.
Operation Take Our Toilets Back! (OTOTB!) is a mission for regular mothers who want to protect their children.
1-Identity, Detect and Acquire target: Is it a man? Yes.
2- Employment of Non-lethal Means: Plan of Action if affirmative: Engage target by screaming highest possible shrilled scream, while yelling, "help, help help!!!"
3-Target Neutralization: Don't stop screaming unless otherwise instructed by parent.
This home will start OTOTB!! training today. And if you have ever heard my girls scream, you know that for sure there will definitely be a scene in the bathroom and that said TG will be made to feel just as uncomfortable as we have been made to feel.
I am not hopeless and as the minorities of this country complain the loudest in an attempt to change Her, I will actively engage in my small way! I will not go down silent!


Bioethics is the study of issues brought about by advances in biology and medicine and their effects on patients/residents/clients, families and healthcare providers. Bioethics deals with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences, technology, medicine, law and philosophy.
The bioethics principles of respect for autonomy, justice, beneficence and non-maleficence are applied and a risks and benefits assessment is performed in the decision-making process.
Bioethics is a key component of clinical care, organizational decision-making and research in healthcare organizations.
Every day healthcare providers and administrative staff make decisions about how to provide the very best care possible for patients/residents/clients and families.
Sometimes, situations arise that present unique challenges – particularly when conflicting expectations, standards of care and value systems are involved.
An ethical dilemma arises when competing values or duties pull us in different directions (e.g., you want to be honest but you are worried that the truth may cause harm to someone).
What are the signs that an ethical dilemma may exist?
A feeling of discomfort about a decision or course of action.
Being faced with more than one possible course of action and being unclear which is best.
Disagreement between people about what should be done in a particular situation.
Concern that someone has been treated unfairly.
What does an ethics consultant do?
An ethics consultant works with you and those involved, ensuring all options and solutions are carefully considered and understood in order to reach an ethically sound decision.
Who may request an ethics consultation?
Anyone experiencing an ethical dilemma may request an ethics consultation, including patients/ residents/clients, family members and staff. Permission is not required from leadership for staff to request an ethics consult.
When should I request an ethics consult?
When there are seemingly irresolvable disagreements over ethical questions/concerns.
When there is a disagreement on whether an ethical dilemma actually exists.
When you have tried to resolve the dilemma, but have not been successful.
What can I expect from an ethics consultation?
An ethics consultant will help to clarify the nature of the ethical dilemma and identify potential solutions based on ethical values and standards. The ethics consultant will be clear about their ethical viewpoint when providing consultation services, and they will apply the IDEA: Ethical Decision-making Framework (PDF), where appropriate. The recommendations, advice or opinions of the ethics consultants are not binding.
A consultation may take place over the phone, in-person or through a meeting, which includes all the relevant people. The ethics consultant will disclose any conflict of interest they may have, including issues of conscience.


MELBOURNE – I was hoping to do more open mics in Melbourne, but the travel, heat, cold, air conditioning and who knows what all else mean that I caught a bad cold and will be spending the next days while not working, sleeping. So I doubt I will try any new open mics before I leave on Monday.
I have, however, now added some new open mics to my Thumbnail Guide to Melbourne Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music, and removed some that have ceased to exist since I visited last year.
BARCELONA – For my sixth city installment of my worldwide open mic guide today I am loading my Barcelona page. As a reminder, it all started with my now very popular Thumbnail Guide to Paris Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music, and due to that guide's popularity I decided this year to do a similar guide for each of the cities I travel to during my worldwide open mic tour.
There are far more jam sessions in Barcelona than open mics as such – but the jams act as open mics too, and this is a guide to venues of both philosophies.
So here, now, in any case is the Thumbnail Guide to Barcelona Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music. Please do help me whenever you have information to give me on the venues – i.e., especially if they close down!
Well, I beat my record Saturday in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, by playing in two open mics/jam sessions, in this tiny country in the Gulf. I was all set to pulverize my record by playing in a third jam session on Sunday night. But then it all went wrong.
I had heard about the jam session at Rocky's Café when I was at the Dublin Club in the Ramee Palace hotel and I asked about other jam sessions or open mics. I had been told it was a little like the same jam session that I wrote about last night, at the Dublin Club. But when I got to Rocky's Café, which is near the Dublin Club and Bennigan's, I found a completely different environment, and little by little it all fell into disarray, and I decided to leave without playing.
– enter reception and a greeter sees my guitar and says: "Here for the jam session?" "Yes." He watches me enter the bar… then comes and grabs me and says, "You can just check in your guitar and then come out and get it again when you play." I don't want to leave the guitar at the coat-check, as I want to tune it and keep it near me, and I complain a little that it is full of: Wallet, Zoom video recorder, telephone, reading material – Mojo, Uncut, etc. -, spare batteries for recorder, jacket and one or two other things. To no avail, I remove them and put on jacket and pile full the pockets of the paraphernalia and enter the bar again.
– "To drink?" "A beer." "Huh?" "A big one." "Oh, ok." So next thing I know, a waitress, instead of bringing me a "pint" of beer – my meaning of "big" – brings a jug containing about five pints, or five litres of Guinness, which ever amount is bigger. I nearly fall off my chair and send her away with the oil barrel of Guinness and tell her to bring a pint, but she's not happy at all. Next comes the waiter returning to nearly threaten me and tell me I asked for a big beer. "Yeah, but not that massive thing!!!" He pretends he does not understand what a pint of beer is when I explain, until I start to go and show him one on another table. So he accepts….
– I return to tell the guitarist I am not going to play, I hate the place and the people running it, and I'm leaving. Turns out he's from Quebec, we have a great little chat, he offers me his guitar to play. He's a great guy, and I have no complaints about the band – as they seem very cool indeed.
But I still had a bad, bad impression of Rocky's and although it did not happen during the time I was there, I was sure I would be accosted at some point by one of the 15 or so women hanging around the bar – as they had visibly been doing with the 80 or so men at the tables….
So, no, not my favorite evening, and I was glad to get out of Rocky's. Still, I'm sure it all just got off on the wrong foot. But I do, I do very much hate open mics or open jams where you are not allowed to bring a musical instrument into the bar where they take place.
In the meantime, while you think about that tale, check out my Bahrain installment of my quickly developing World Wide Open Mic Guide: The Thumbnail Guide to Bahrain Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music.
In my fifth year of my worldwide open mic adventure, I have decided as I said in the post at the start of the travel, to publish a Thumbnail Guide to the local open mics and other venues, as I did a few years ago with my Thumbnail Guide to Paris Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music.
Following on the introduction of my guide to Melbourne last week, this time it is for the capital city of Malaysia: Thumbnail Guide to Kuala Lumpur Open Mics, Jam Sessions and other Live Music.
Lot's of people around the world would not imagine that Malaysia is a very, very musical country, and it's open mic scene is very vibrant at the moment, and growing. There is some fantastic vocal talent in the country, and for most world travelling musicians, it is also a great city to visit to have a taste of Asia but with English as a language spoken and sung by almost everyone….

There is one thing very true when I think about cooking. The boundaries do not exist and there are always new cooking techniques or dishes to discover. Food enables you to travel because most of the time, the choice of ingredients are conditioned by the country or region's climate. Travel, food? My best friends. Add to this a touch of foreign languages and it becomes even better and more interesting. Hence my love for Spanish, the language and the country.
Not everyone is a fan of ceviche. As a matter of fact, I know a lot of people who just make faces when they hear about the possibility of eating raw fish. Du poisson cru? Yes raw fish indeed. However, I think most of those people should be told that the fish is actually somehow cooked.
Although it is obvious that there is no heat source used, I describe the chemistry that happens between the fish and the lemon juice as a cooking process. The power of lemon juice! So strong! The chemistry offered by lemon juice enables the fish flesh to become firmer. Usually when fish is cooked with heat, the protein is "denatured". The citric acid of the lemon juice has the same effect. So is it cooked? Raw? When I use the word cooked, P. always looks at me and says, "it is not cooked Béa!" to which I respond very quickly: mais si, c'est cuit! (of course it is cooked). What does he know? Whatever word we decide to use, I can only say this: ceviche is good. As a matter of fact, many of the guests I have served the following dish to did not even notice that the fish had not been cooked. It combined a beautiful blend of fresh flavours, enhanced by kumquats.
A few words about ceviche: Usually a speciality from South and Central America, particularly in Spanish speaking countries. The name comes from the Latin cibus (food) via Spanish cebo and cebiche (fish stew).
A few words about kumquats: Surfindaave from Serendipitous Chef has a lot of good information for us here.
I will summarize the following. Kumquats are miniature oranges, not bigger than 1.25 inches (3cm) across. Although you might think otherwise and as shown in this recipe, the rind is edible and tasty. Not like your average lime, lemon or orange rinds.
Because the scallops are still somewhat raw, you simply need to make sure that they are extra fresh. Be careful, scallops need to show very little water, a sign of quality. In North America, the orange roe (coral) is discarded (to my regret) whereas in Europe, this part is also used.
I found this recipe in the Boston Magazine but followed the proportions very loosely (lost the recipe so here you are, you just have to improvise). This is what I did.
Take the scallops and slice them very thinly.
Wash the kumquats and remove the seeds. Slice very thinly.
Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds and cut in tiny pieces.
Mix all 3 ingredients together and add a dash of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place in a cold bowl in the fridge for about 10 mns.
Chop very thinly the onion, the coriander and chives.
Add to the scallops/kumquats/cucumber preparation.
Add a dash of cayenne pepper and the olive oil, and mix well together.
Serve in small spoons (appetizer spoons).
Try, it is really nice!
quel remarquable travail que de diffuser avec tant de talent la culture du savoir manger !
Amasing appetizer… fill with freshness and different textures! Too bad I can't get good seafood in my area, so come to your place and drool allover.
pourtant cette recette n'est pas toujours photogénique, tu en as fait une merveille.
J'aime bien cette presentation en petites cuilleres. Tu me donnes envie d'essayer, j'en ai goute une fois mais il n'etait pas reussi. Et tu as raison, le poisson marine au jus de citron est cuit, rien a voir avec les sashimi ou sushi.
Ohhhhh Bea, sure i will try, it looks light and refreshing!
I love raw fish, although Ceviche is probably between cooked and uncooked. It has such a simple yet complex sensibility. My favourite is Belly tuna which is gaining popularity here in London.
what an amazing amuse bouche bea. got no internet of my own been practising my pidgin french here.
Ez, merci! 😉 Quand l'estomac parle, il me donne des ailes!
Gattina, ah poor you, no fresh seafoos where you are?
Anne, Sophie et Gracianne, merci bien. Et j'ai tout mangé!
Ben tu m'expliques? je ne comprends pas….
Sha, yes I know. I miss the coral tremendously!!!
Yeah, I usually make a face when I hear or see ceviche too. The face of a drooling halfwit as I slobber over it.
Mmmm a spoonful of pure pleasure, yum yum!
Absolutely lovely Bea… and hey! Anybody starts talking about raw fish and I'm all ears!! I love raw scallop sushi especially. That stuff just rocks!
Your foodography photos are simply stunning. I really give you credit for being so involved in these events. Great stuff to read about!
I am a very big fan! I love it. And I really love the addition of kumquats. Very original!
a 'dish' with kumquats.. how cool!
I live in the east coast of America. The place I live don't have fresh seafood supplies (the one good enough for sushi)… most fish sold at supermarket is previously frozen, and not much choice either.


I spend the last week here with my sister and her family. My mum stayed with us for 3 days but had to go back to France early. Besides the mandatory (but by no means less fun) family visits, we managed to spot some private jets coming into the little private airport, transporting who knows what. We even spotted a special purpose helicopter you don't see often. We found the point where he dropped of his loads of tree trunks, and jumped out the car. The guys working on the ground team looked at us as if we were deranged, and after a good chuckle went back to work. I am however, after several hours, still excited like a little kid to have seen a Kaman K1200 up close.
The niece and nephew I'm closest with, live here too. My niece is a language wonder, speaking Swiss-German, German, French, English and Dutch. Her younger brother is not to be outdone, and, although he only recently decided to start speaking Dutch, he has understood everything I said for years. Which comes in very handy since their Dutch is way better than my German or French.
Since tonight was our last night here for now, and my last night here for at least a year, we had them over for dinner. After a nice meal, which we prepared together, me and my sis drove them back home, while my brother-in-law watched the baby.
In a flash of "nostalgia" my sis and I decided to introduce them to driving while listening to Captain Jack's first album, The Mission. (If you are not familiar with this album or music, you're not missing out). With the risk of sounding older than I should, when my sister and me where in our wilder years, we would listen to this music (a lofty way to describe it, I know), on full volume whilst speeding down the French tollways towards the south.
Coming up on the split in the road, I may or may not have intentionally missed the turn towards their house, and accidentally continued up the mountain towards the top. Halfway up there we drove into the clouds and visibility dropped to a mere two meters. I felt very lucky to have driven that road a few times before, so at least the hairpin turns didn't totally surprise me, even at 30 km/h.
After we reached the top of the mountain, we turned around, dropped them of at home, apologized to my aunt for kick starting their puberty and headed back to our vacation house.
On the way down, winding my way around blind turns on a road just wide enough for one truck, yet still a two-way street, coming down for roughly 4,5 kilometer trough the woods, I thought about how much this place feels like home. I feel the same feeling of "leaving home" I felt when the airplane took off from Perth International. If you'd ask me if I will miss The Netherlands, I'd say no. I'll miss the friends and family I'm leaving behind there, but I won't miss the country or the people in general. If you'd ask me which country or part of Europe I would miss, I would have to say Saanenland. I hope Perth will feel like home as much as this place does, and if not I'll see if I can get Emma to pack her stuff and move here with me, which I think won't take a lot of convincing.
Actually, on second thought, I don't think I want to move two cats across the world. One cat going one way has given me enough grey hairs as it is.
My niece just send me a whatsapp message, asking me what the album was called which we listened to in the car. I exchange naughty smiles with my sister, the legacy lives on.
