The overall goal of Dr. Cardona's research program is to understand the role of fractalkine and its receptor CX3CR1 in neuronal-microglia interactions and in the regulation of CNS pathology during Multiple Sclerosis (MS), neurocysticercosis, and diabetes. Dr. Cardona first delineated the role of CX3CR1 in vivo in 2006 and has continued providing evidence that CX3CR1 is an important for modulator of microglial mediated neurotoxicity. Notably, mice lacking CX3CR1 exhibited worse EAE, enhanced inflammation, and profound myelin loss. In MS, direct T cell and microglial interaction with oligodendrocytes supports the detrimental effects of inflammation to oligodendrocyte survival. However, the role of CX3CR1 in innate and adaptive immunity during MS is unknown. The lab's central goal is to determine the role of CX3CR1 in 1) microglia and DCs in the establishment of pathogenic T cells responses, and in neuronal pathology and demyelination CNS inflammation, and 2) in microglia and peripheral monocytes/macrophages in the establishment of inflammation, neuronal, and vascular pathology in the CNS.
Dr. Cardona's lab focuses on the functional interactions between immune cells, microglia, neurons, and blood vessels, utilizing experimental mouse models of disease, immunological assays, flow cytometry, fluorescent activated cell sorting, microscopy and molecular biology approaches.
Motivated trainees with a clear interest for a career in biomedical science have opportunities to participate in Dr. Cardon's research via independent study, thesis/dissertations, and work-study. Training is provided to acquire experience in how to choose, design, and expedite new experiments. An important goal is also to develop excellent communication skills, written and oral. This involves becoming an engaged lab member who can present his/her own work, and actively participate in the execution of research, lab meetings, seminars, journal clubs, scientific conferences, and in generation of written reports and scholarly products.


The Postal Service has ended a pay freeze for nonbargaining employees, giving them a 1 percent raise.
The raise, which will go to supervisory, managerial, postmaster and all workers outside any collective bargaining agreement, will go into effect Saturday. Those workers have endured a three-year-pay freeze.
Many of the nonbargaining employees are heads of post offices or postmasters, or have other supervisory positions, and will now once again benefit from pay-for-performance bonuses.

Giant Killers: Toms River South forces five turnovers, upsets No. 3 Southern
Bob Badders Published: October 24, 2020
STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – After a lopsided loss in Week 3 and another top-five opponent waiting in the wings for Week 4, Toms River South was facing the crossroad of its season on Friday night at Emmert Stadium.
Coming off a 43-point loss to Donovan Catholic and with third-ranked and undefeated Southern on the docket, the Indians had a question to answer. Would they retreat or respond?
An 80-yard fumble return for a touchdown by junior defensive back Elijah Metellus in the third quarter was one of five turnovers forced by Toms River South and stood up as the winning points as the Indians upended No. 3 Southern, 15-12, for their second win over a top-three opponent this season.
"The message was 'we're only as good as our last game, and is that who we are?'," said Toms River South head coach Ron Signorino Jr. "These kids were having none of that. I could just feel it throughout the week."
The Rams, ranked third in the Shore Sports Network Top 10, outgained the Indians 350-220 and produced several chunk plays, but Toms River South's equalizer was a defense that forced and recovered two fumbles, intercepted three passes and prevented Southern junior running back Jaiden Brown from taking over the game. Senior defensive back Tyler Madeo had two interceptions, including a game-clinching pick at the 5-yard line with seven seconds left, senior linebacker Ryan Robin had an interception and senior defensive back Domenick Cats also recovered a fumble. Brown, who was coming off a career-high 240-yard performance in a win over Toms River North, ran for 121 yards and two touchdowns but fumbled twice.

"The defensive staff had a great gameplan and the kids executed it as well as they could have," Signorino said. "We wanted to keep pinching down inside and keep our overhang as the force player because we know they want to keep running in between the tackles. That's where (Brown) makes his money but of course, he can bump it outside at any time. He's the real deal and that's a hell of a football team we just beat."
Senior running back Travis Squire ran for 52 yards on eight carries to lead a balanced Toms River South (3-1) rushing attack. Sophomore running back Devon Bond ran for 45 yards on 11 carries and senior quarterback Jack Huber threw for 89 yards and ran for 24 yards and a touchdown.
In addition to Brown's 121 yards on the ground, senior wide receiver Xavier Hendricks caught eight passes for 149 yards and senior quarterback Taylor Munt completed 11 of 16 passes for 205 yards but was intercepted three times.
The victory was Toms River South's second this season over a top-three team. On opening night, the Indians shocked then-No. 2 Toms River North, 28-21.
"We knew it was going to be a tough football game against a senior-dominated team," said Southern head coach Chuck Donohue Sr. "The South kids are tough kids and they had a lot of incentive to come down here and beat us. I thought we made some plays tonight and did some good things, but was also did some bad things and the bad things got us beat."
Oddly enough, the Indians faced their first bit of adversity after a great opening drive. Toms River South took the opening kickoff and marched from its own 37-yard line down to Southern's 1-yard line with a clock-draining 16-play drive. The Indians converted one third down and two fourth downs and looked poised to find the end zone, but on third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Huber tried the right side but was stopped by JP Ricciardi at the 1-yard line where the ball knocked free by Hank Gallacher and recovered by Nate Committee.
Toms River South forced a three-and-out and got the ball back at midfield with 3:35 left in the first quarter. Runs of 14 and nine yards by Squire moved the ball to the Southern 27-yard line and a 12-yard catch by Gerry Ferrigno on third-and-9 pushed the ball to the 23-yard line. But on a fourth-and-3 from the 16-yard line, Huber's pass to the end zone was broken up by Hendricks as Southern's defense forced a turnover on downs.
The Rams then went to work on a seven-play, 84-yard scoring drive to strike first. A 44-yard pass from Munt to Hendricks on the first play was followed by a 21-yard run by Brown, and the Rams were quickly down to the Toms River South 19-yard line. Five straight runs by Brown followed, capped by a 5-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Hendricks, the holder on the extra point, picked it up and ran with it as a Toms River South defender was bearing down to block the kick but he was stopped short of the goal line on the 2-point try.
Toms River South answered with a seven-play, 64-yard scoring drive to take a 7-6 lead. Huber connected with Wyatt Sternberg for 29 yards to the Southern 37-yard line and, two plays later, Squire found a crease and scooted 27 yards down to the Southern 1-yard line. Three plays later on third-and-goal, Huber pushed toward the end zone and fumbled but recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. Camren Stein's extra point gave the Indians a one-point lead with 5:12 left in the first half.
Southern wasted little time getting back in the end zone with two more big plays to set up a short touchdown run by Brown. Munt hit Hendricks on a corner route for 37 yards down to the South 21-yard line and on third-and-19, Hendricks took a wide receiver screen pass and turned it into a 29-yard gain down to the 1-yard line. Brown muscled across the goal line on the next play for a 12-7 lead. The Rams went for the 2-point conversion but the pass fell incomplete.
Southern tried to mount a quick drive at the end of the first half but Madeo intercepted Munt at the 10-yard line on the final play.
Southern had to punt on the first series of the third quarter but got the ball right back when Ricciardi picked off Huber at the 17-yard line. The Rams had great field position, but the game would turn on the very next play when Brown was stripped after a short gain and Metellus scooped up the ball, made one man miss and was off to the races for an 80-yard touchdown. Huber then tossed the two-point conversion pass to Madeo for a 15-12 lead.
"The ball popped out and it was right there," Metellus said. "It was just me and the quarterback so I had to make a move and get to the end zone."
Southern once again looked as if it was going to find the end zone on its next series. Brown ran for 20 yards on first down to move the ball to midfield and the Rams pushed the ball to the Toms River South 35-yard line. On third-and-9, Committee took a fullback screen pass and weaved his way down to the 7-yard line to bring up a first-and-goal. But on the next play, Toms River South forced another fumble and Cats recovered at the 5-yard line.
Southern had another chance at points in the fourth quarter but a 35-yard field goal attempt by Gallacher missed wide to the left.
Tobin squashed Southern's next drive when he picked off Munt on a fourth-and-9 near midfield. Southern was able to force a punt thanks to a sack by Gallacher on third down to get the ball back at their own 30-yard line with 1:02 left in the game. A 14-yard run by Hendricks was followed by a 13-yard catch by Hendricks and a 7-yard run by Committee, but on second down from the 36-yard line, Munt's pass intended for Alex Rainone in the end zone was intercepted by Madeo.
"I read that all the way," Madeo said. "He was running a post all game so I was playing it deep and knew he was going to throw it into the end zone. Right spot, right time, I guess."
"We beat North because we responded on every play, so we knew we had the ability to do that," Signorino said. "This our senior group and they're not reacting to a bad play or a good play, they're responding."

With hospitals in collapse, Manaus could become Brazil's Guayaquil
Natália Scalzaretto . Apr 22, 2020
Manaus has started to use mass graves to handle Covid-19 deaths
On April 19, The Brazilian Report highlighted the dramatic situation in the public health system of Manaus, the urban island in the middle of the rainforest and capital of Amazonas state. Startling video footage was disclosed by news website UOL, showing panic at hospitals around the city. Fear spread that Manaus could soon become "Brazil's Guayaquil," in reference to the Ecuadorian city where the Covid-19 spike caused literal queues of dead bodies in the streets.
These concerns are becoming more and more valid, with even more shocking footage
surfacing from the Amazonas capital, including a video depicting a Covid-19 patient in Manaus using a plastic bag to breathe due to a lack of proper intensive care equipment. The patient in question was later transferred to a private hospital, but another 63-year-old patient died after waiting four days for an ICU bed.

With the state government recording 163 deaths as of April 21, the city of Manaus is home to 85 percent of fatal Covid-19 cases in Amazonas, and 80 percent of all infections.

The spike in cases has overwhelmed what is an already fragile health system. Data editor Marcelo Soares reported that the state only has 919 intensive care beds, a ratio of 1.24 per 100,000 inhabitants — half the ideal proportion of 2.4. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the vast majority of health infrastructure is found in Manaus, meaning it is taking in patients from all over a state that is larger than Iran.

According to state health authorities, there are 181 confirmed Covid-19 patients in Amazonas hospitals, with 97 in ICUs. However, another 698 suspected cases are also receiving treatment in the hospital, and around one-quarter of them are occupying intensive care beds.

Over the weekend, Manaus Mayor Arthur Virgilio Neto burst into tears while speaking of the collapse of the health system, saying that 36.5 percent of the 106 people buried in the state as of April 21 died at home.

Mr. Virgilio Neto has also heavily criticized the federal and state government, saying that the city is not receiving the help it requires. State health secretary Simone Papaiz, on the other hand, says the state is working "in synergy" with the federal government, and a further 22 health professionals are expected to arrive in the state this week, plus 23 tons of equipment.

The Manaus municipal government also informed on April 18 it is hiring another 320 health professionals — among them nurses and pharmacists — on a temporary basis, in addition to 400 previously hired. Thirty-two of them are doctors.

Manaus cemeteries full to the brim

The spike in deaths has also led to an overcrowding of cemeteries in Manaus. According to Mayor Virgilio Neto, the city saw an average of 20 to 35 burials per day before the pandemic. Now this rate has surpassed 100.

The public cemetery of Nossa Senhora Aparecida received extra cold storage containers in order to store corpses and even began digging collective graves in order to fit the city’s Covid-19 dead. Funerals are being allowed to go ahead, with a maximum capacity of five people at any one time.

Corruption allegations

Amid the collapse, public prosecutors in Amazonas state are investigating complaints of overpricing in the purchase of ventilators. According to the prosecution service, 28 units of breathing apparatus were purchased for BRL 2.97 million, working out to a unit cost of almost double what the federal government is paying for similar equipment.

While thousands of homes on the market in every major city in North America, today a real estate agent really needs to be on their game if they are going to find the perfect buyer and make the sale. Whether you're a real estate agent who is new to the business or a seasoned veteran, you always need to be ready with the latest information and the freshest marketing strategies. Not only do you need to convince customers that your homes are the best on the market, but you also need to show them that you are the best candidate to deal with their purchase or sale. Here are some marketing tips that will set you apart from many of your competitors.
Make a name for yourself online. More than eighty percent of buyers are now starting their home search online before consulting a real estate agent. When a potential customer types luxury condo into their browser, you want to be sure that your website is one of the first that comes up. There are many different ways that you can build your online profile. You can start a real estate blog for starters. This will show all that you know about properties as well as raise your search engine status. You can also hire a search engine optimization company to do all of the work for you when it comes to online marketing.
Remember though that when you're working online it's not enough for people to find your site. They also need a reason to stay there and check out your listings. Take the time to create a site that's both compelling and easy to navigate. If potential customers get to your site but can't find the townhouse listings quickly, they are likely to just get frustrated and move on to a different site. After all, there are a million more out there to choose from.
Make sure that you don't forget about direct marketing as well. While the internet is usually your first impression with a customer, people don't make it all the way to buying without having an in-person relationship with their agent. Accent a good website with a great ability to communicate with customers in person and on the phone. This is one of the keys to setting yourself apart from all of the other real estate agents in or elsewhere in the country. Add in some public relations to your marketing campaign to get your name out there. You could offer a free seminar for first-time buyers or send out a newsletter with the local paper. Be creative when it comes to marketing your homes and your real estate business. All of the extra effort is sure to pay off in the end.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know
10 Questions to ask about the Governor's Teacher Salary Proposal
For the past several months, FEA, our locals and our members have been bombarding media and elected officials with information about Florida's national ranking in average teacher salary and that nearly 50,000 Educational Staff Professionals earn a poverty wage.
Clearly at least ONE politician is paying attention.
FundOurFuture Bus Tour is Coming to Hernando!
See you at a bus stop!
Starting Oct. 21, FEA officers and staff will roll out on a statewide, five-week bus tour for public education. We will be on a campaign for our students, public schools and YOU. Please plan to come out and meet us at a stop.
The idea is to focus attention on public schools and build community support well before January, when the Legislature will be making decisions that affect all of us. If we are going to win in the next session, we need to be seen and heard now.
The stakes are very high. We are fighting for improved funding for public schools and for better pay for all school employees. We want an end to the over-testing of students and a halt to the expansion of voucher programs that divert public money to private schools. We demand that this state support the schools that educate 90 percent of our students, and that lawmakers show proper respect to the people who devote their lives to Florida's children.
In coordination with local unions, the Fund Our Future bus tour will make about 50 stops at events and schools from Pensacola to the Florida Keys. The first stop will be on Oct. 21 in the Panhandle, and the tour comes to a close on Nov. 23 in Orlando.
The Hernando stop is slated for the afternoon of November 1st! More details are coming. Be sure to save the date!
The VAM Scam
September 18, 2019 - FEA's second article in their series exposing how Florida policies are undermining student success focuses on the scam that is VAM. Since its introduction into teacher evaluation processes, educators across the nation have protested the use of this flawed measure to identify ineffective teachers and brand schools as 'failing'.
AFT members dive into candidate endorsement process
As the presidential elections inch closer and the field of candidates gets more and more competitive, AFT members are engaging, parsing campaign platforms, asking questions of the candidates, and voicing their priorities as educators, healthcare practitioners and public employees. Thus far, the AFT has hosted eight AFT Votes town halls in eight different locations across the country, giving members the opportunity to meet candidates in person and hear about their stands on education, working families, healthcare and other top-line issues. Also part of the AFT's robust endorsement process: surveys, debate parties and lots of information on AFTVotes.org.
Bad Policy and Low Pay...
Over the next few months this multi-part series will take a deep dive into the ways that Florida's education policies have led to a full-scale crisis in the teaching profession.
Challenges to Best & Brightest Continue
Morgan & Morgan file suit over taxation of bonuses paid through the Best & Brightest program:
FEA Calls for 'A Decade of Progress'
FEA calls for $22 billion, multi-year investment in schools
TALLAHASSEE — After 20 years of neglect and bad policy, the Florida Education Association (FEA) is calling for a "Decade of Progress" for Florida's public schools. This means a multi-year commitment of $22 billion for our public school students.
HCTA Welcomes New Educators
(July 30, 2019) HCTA Executive Board members joined Hernando County Schools in welcoming nearly 100 new educators to the county during the district's annual New Teacher Orientation. Day one of the three day induction allowed our professional association to greet incoming teachers, provide lunch, and share the benefits of membership in our local, state and national organizations. A majority of attending new hires chose to invest in their profession through membership! Together, we make a difference! HCTA is excited to be growing with these professionals.
Weingarten: Educators must save democracy
"Teachers have always had power," AFT President Randi Weingarten told the crowd at the TEACH opening plenary Thursday afternoon. "We need to own our power. And we need to build our power so we can move our agenda—for our students and our families; for safe, welcoming and well-funded public schools; for affordable higher education; healthcare that is a right, not a privilege; a living wage; a decent retirement; a healthy climate and a strong democracy."
AFT members are taking Navient to court
A class-action suit filed in federal court sets out serious allegations that student loan servicer Navient has misled borrowers in public service professions from accessing a loan forgiveness program to boost its own profits. The landmark complaint, which seeks millions in damages and class-wide injunctive relief, details a spate of systematic misrepresentations, untruths and misdirection pedaled by Navient to stop borrowers from enrolling in Public Service Loan Forgiveness, a 10-year payoff plan administered by rival servicer FedLoan.


Hold the bottom, stretched position for 5 seconds and the top, peak contraction for 3 seconds for optimal calf growth.
The key with calf work is to hold the stretch (toes toward shins) portion of each rep for 5 seconds. Why? The Achilles tendon is the thickest tendon in the body. It's built to handle the weight of your entire body through movement. From casual walking to dynamic and explosive movements like sprinting and jumping, the Achilles tendon has to be able to handle the torque and tension.
Avoid that bouncy rep execution that most gym bruhs use when they train calves. You know what I'm talking about. Don't get on a calf machine and do the thing where you rock your feet up and down.
Sure, the calves might get a bit of a burn if you do this for long enough, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. And the feedback from your crappy calf development should be telling you that.
With bouncy reps, the Achilles tendon is basically saying, "Don't worry gastrocnemius, I got this." So it's important to hold the stretch portion of each rep because it eliminates the stretch reflex, and it makes the gastroc do the great majority of the work during the exercise. We're forcing the Achilles to go, "Hey bruh, it's all you on this one."
Loaded stretching like this does a fine job of getting a stubborn muscle to perk up and grow; it naturally increases the amount of time under tension within a working set.
Now that you're maximizing the lengthening portion of each rep, let's talk about how to maximize the concentric or lifting portion.
Once you transition into the concentric part of the rep, the key there is to maximize the peak contraction. We want to get the calf to get as "short" as possible. Roll your feet foot inwards, toward the big toe.
Think about ballerina calves. They don't spend a lot of time lengthening the calves with a stretch in comparison to how much time they spend with their weight on their big toes (literally). So their calves remain in a maximally shortened position and work from a peak contraction state most of the time. So there's enormous value in maximizing that position in your calf movements.
Once you've rolled onto the big toe, hold that peak contraction for 3 seconds before lowering.

International bestselling author BARRY EISLER spent three years in a covert position with the CIA, worked as a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan, and earned his black belt at the Kodokan International Judo Center. Eisler's thrillers have won the Barry Award, the Gumshoe Award, and have been included in numerous Best Of lists and translated into nearly twenty languages. His newest book, THE NIGHT TRADE, from Thomas & Mercer, is now available. We spoke recently about his return to the country of Thailand, his current favorite cinematic moment, and why we all need and like a Dox in our lives.
For more information and to order his books, visit Barry's website.
Dave Watson: After Zero Sum, you're now returning to Livia Lone in The Night Trade. Do you see part of John Rain in Livia?
Barry Eisler: There are some similarities, certainly—they're both survivors, they're both killers, they're both exceptionally methodical. But the differences are probably more significant: Livia was created by trauma, while Rain's origins lie in an innate attraction to conflict. Livia is motivated by a deep-seated need to protect, while Rain's motivations are less noble. And Livia is primarily a sheepdog, intent on guarding the sheep, while Rain is much more a wolf, grappling with guilt about having preyed on others.
DW: The Night Trade takes place in Thailand. How and why did you choose this country?
BE: At the end of the first book, Livia Lone, Livia has solved part of the mystery of her past and taken revenge on some of the men who trafficked and abused her and her younger sister Nason. She's learned a good deal about why she and Nason were trafficked from their village in the Emerald Triangle hills of Thailand to America, and she's learned a lot about who, as well. But she realizes that what she doesn't adequately understand is how: how was a US Senator able to custom-order two Lahu girls all the way from Chiang Rai province and have them delivered to his brother in Idaho? What sort of network was involved, who were the local contacts, what kind of person could have acted as the broker for this kind of thing? Those questions all lead back to Thailand—fundamentally, the scene of the crime.
But in some ways, the logistics of why Livia winds up in Thailand matter less than her underlying motivations. In the first book, Livia managed a substantial measure of revenge. And yet it wasn't enough, and she's now looking for more. Is this a thirst that can be quenched if she cracks the entire conspiracy and kills every man involved in it? Or has the urge become something internally driven, such that no amount of revenge will ever satisfy her? These are questions Livia grapples with as she travels deeper and deeper into Bangkok's heart of darkness.
DW: You also weave in Dox from the John Rain series. It seems we all want a Dox in our lives. Do you agree? Why?
BE: Dox does seem to be a perennial favorite of my readers. He's smart (behind the hick façade), irreverent, capable, dangerous, and fiercely loyal. He'll lift your spirits when the weather is bad, share your pleasure when the weather is good, and always have your back if someone's coming after you. He has an anachronistically chivalrous code of conduct, and if he bonds with you, you can count on him for almost anything. Who wouldn't want a friend like that?
DW: Does this story connect with the accusations against men in powerful positions in America over the last three months or so? Livia Lone, which came out about a year ago now, appears to be a forerunner to all this.
BE: I hadn't conceived of the story specifically as an indictment of powerful men. But yes, if there's one thing you can count on given human nature, it's that whenever asymmetrical power is combined with secrecy, at a minimum there will abuse. This has certainly been the case in Hollywood and I would imagine it to be the case on Wall Street, as well, so I'm curious why there haven't yet been more revelations from the financial world. And if it's the case even in Hollywood, where the women who have been coming forward are relatively powerful and have relatively good access to media, imagine what goes on in, say, the domestic service industry, or in seasonal agriculture, or anything involving undocumented workers.
Or for impoverished Lahu girls in remote villages in Thailand.
DW: Livia is on a quest to sort out her past. Do you think many people wish they could, and maybe do, the same?
BE: One way or the other, I think most of us are driven to understand ourselves, and doing so means coming to grips with the forces that made us. For most people, I think those forces will be subtle and obscure, and therefore difficult to identify, while for Livia, the trauma that forged her is impossible to miss. But at a high level, yes, I think we're all driven to understand where we came from, and how we became whoever and whatever we are.
DW: Does your book have implications for U.S. foreign policy?
BE: Always! I mentioned earlier that whenever asymmetrical power is combined with secrecy, at a minimum there will be abuse. The greater the secrecy and asymmetry, the greater the need for transparency. I think it would be useful for Americans to keep this framework in mind, and to use it as a prism through which to view the behavior and impact of America's most powerful factions—political, corporate, and financial—at home and overseas, too.
DW: Your books are provocative and possibly are agents of change. What kind of change do you hope they effect?
BE: Mostly I'm hoping to raise consciousness and get people to examine shibboleths. Because if people are unduly attached to national mythologies and other comforting assumptions, they'll remain wedded to the status quo and will be hostile to even the notion of change.
So in the course of entertaining, I try to depict issues that I think have societal and even global significance. What are the real causes and consequences of torture (The Killer Ascendant and Inside Out)? What are the implications of metastasizing secrecy and surveillance, such that the government knows more and more about the citizenry and the citizenry knows less and less about the government (The God's Eye View)? Is slavery an evil of the past, or a modern-day horror, as well (Livia Lone and The Night Trade)?
I try not to be didactic (my blog, The Heart of the Matter, is more the outlet for that). Mostly I just try to tell a tight story with compelling characters that'll have you on the edge of your seat while reading—but then, hopefully, will leave you seeing the world a little bit differently afterward.
BE: I'm working on the next book now—a kind of Justice League of America or Avengers story, where Livia, Rain, Dox, Delilah, Ben Treven, and Larison are forced to work together. There are so many contradictory motivations in this mix, so many different world views, and so much personal hurt, resentment, and distrust that just putting these people together in the same room causes friction, heat, and fire.
Further along in the queue is another Livia novel, and then the third in the Rain origin trilogy that began with Graveyard of Memories and continued with Zero Sum.
Beyond that, there are a couple of television projects I'm involved in. But I've learned the only thing I can control and count on is the books.
DW: You picked a great cinematic moment in our last interview from The Handmaiden. Do you have another this time?
BE: In some ways this is my favorite and also the most difficult question! In part because I've seen some great movies in the last six months and could go on and on about all of them.
Sheridan conveyed so much and so subtly with that exchange. Olsen's failure to appreciate (so far) the literal and figurative climate she's just entered. Renner's no-nonsense approach to life-and-death issues. And the stakes: this isn't a place were an error will leave you no worse than uncomfortable, where you might get a do-over, where you'll be able to call for help. This is a place where complacency means death.
There are at least a dozen moments in the movie that are more affecting than this one (including the following scene, where a Native American woman is helping Olsen into appropriately warm clothes that were the woman's granddaughter's—as always with Sheridan, there is so much going on beneath the surface). But this one scene stood out for me, in part because of how much it elegantly established. No music, no swirling camerawork…just great, understated dialogue. Beautiful.

UNIZO: "The mountain of paperwork will only increase further under Francken"
Theo Francken emphasizes the action plan for SMEs.
The Flemish Union for the Self-employed (UNIZO) criticised, on Thursday, the fact that the administrative burden upon companies continues to grow, despite the federal government's promise to reduce it by 30%. It bases these comments on a report by the Office of Planning and Budget.
UNIZO says, in Het Nieuwsblad, "Theo Francken is fully committed to asylum and migration, but in doing so he has forgotten that it is also within his remit to reduce the administrative burden."
In 2016, administrative expenditure amounted to €6.8 billion, which is €150 million more than two years previously. Danny Van Assche, CEO of UNIZO, says through gritted teeth, "If Francken was as much involved in our sphere as he is in asylum and migration, we would be much further down the road."
Invited to give his reaction on De Ochtend (VRT), the Secretary of State explained that the increase can be attributed to the increase in the number of companies in Belgium.
"UNIZO is quite right in saying that the burden for larger companies is reducing quicker than for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). That is why we have launched an action plan for SMEs, which was approved by the High Council of Self-employed, SMEs and UNIZO."
The Secretary of State does not deny that the government agreement anticipates a reduction in the administrative burden of 30%. Mr Francken adds, "We have already achieved several things in this domain, but a fair amount of work remains to be done." He acknowledges without anyone having to spell it out "that the highly ambitious target of 30%", in all likelihood, will not actually be achieved.

With the arrival of December, stores and e-commerce sites expect the increase in sales that this holiday season provides. After Black Friday, there are many consumers who take advantage of these first weeks of December to acquire the gifts that are still missing, so the businesses ask themselves: How can we take advantage of the theme and the positive feelings this season generates to connect with our potential customers?
1) Content marketing, the famous: Content Marketing is a marketing strategy based on the generation of brand content that should be attractive, as well as useful and entertaining for your prospects. What kind of content? E-books, infographics, success stories, guides, videos, podcasts, etc. When you offer up some valuable content, the person comes to you. That's why it's also known as attraction marketing.
So, if you want to attract customers during this time, think about what valuable content that might be useful for them or interest them, you can create something related to Christmas and your product or service. For example, if you have a company that sells flowers, you could do an infographic called "How to choose the perfect Poinsettia for Christmas Day" and provide your tips on how to buy this popular and emblematic Christmas flower.
And at the end of the infographic, you could create a call to action that people can click on to buy poinsettias from you straight away. So, let your imagination fly.
And don't forget the most important thing: promoting your content. There's no point in having super content, if you don't promote it using advertising on social networks, search engines and other platforms.
2) The art of telling stories that inspire and excite: Storytelling is an excellent way to connect with your target audience. Tell a Christmas story and insert your brand, product or service into the storyline. Tell an emotional story that includes emotion, one which will really motivate or inspire. Also, try to tell stories your potential customers can identify with, so you can connect with them on an emotional level.
What's more, it's no secret that most purchase decisions are made emotionally. Reason intervenes only to justify the feelings.
3) Experiences that make you fall in love and never forget them: Experiential marketing is incredible. And it's just that: promoting brand-consumer interactions through memorable experiences. People can forget what you did or said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Excite your consumers with that Christmas spirit.
You can start with something very simple, like adding Christmas themes, characters, or templates to your brand images (like your logo, your slogan, etc.) at your points of sale. If you don't have a physical store, you could add Christmas details to the design of your website or e-commerce platform. You could also add a characteristic smell to your stores, such as pine or hay, or have your employees add a Christmas detail to their uniforms.
You might even make a video of your employees saying beautiful things about this time, or the weirdest traditions from their family parties. And then send an email to your list with a link to the video.
These details make the prospect connect better with your brand, stir their interest and keep you in their top of mind; basic ingredients to achieve a sale.
5) Christmas promotions that make eyes sparkle: It's also a great idea to do Christmas promotions and special discounts during this period. Make sure you promote your most popular products and include banners, text or images that communicate your offer or promotion on your website and at your store or other physical locations.
Don't forget to create a sense of urgency and mention how long the promotion will be running. If you can put a countdown clock on your web page, that works great. It is also important to communicate those promotions. Email marketing and advertising on social networks can be great allies here.
6) Take advantage of the great exposure and reach that digital advertising can give you: It is a must to promote and disseminate everything you do, so that you reach more people, attract more prospects and sell more. Digital advertising has a great advantage that often goes unnoticed: its advanced segmentation capacity.
Digital advertising can give you something that few know how to get: an extremely precise audience. Imagine being able to decide exactly what kind of audience to reach. Digital advertising platforms such as Facebook allow you to select, not only the age, gender and location of your ideal client, but also specify in detail what you'd like their tastes and interests to be.
When it comes to Google AdWords, you could choose to only show an ad for your product or service when someone types or taps in an exact phrase that signals that they're ready to purchase that product or service. Or show ads to the followers of your main competitors, on Twitter.
Digital advertising has gone way beyond what traditional advertising can do. That business has always been about creativity, as well as how many awards or recognitions you could get.
Likes, shares and engagement are superficial metrics that, while they indicate the acceptance of a brand on social media, don't necessarily translate into sales and everyone doing digital advertising is very aware of that. They know that companies have started to demand clear and obvious results. And the best part of all is that in online advertising, you only pay for results.
You pay every time someone clicks on your ad or a prospect signs up on your website. On Facebook, for example, you can create campaigns that are specifically geared towards a specific goal: traffic, conversions, purchases, downloads, etc.
It also gives you the ability to accurately measure your return on investment, which is especially important at Christmas.
Adext, the first intelligent digital advertising robot created to help small and medium-sized companies, has arrived. It uses Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning and Big Data) to manage and optimize all your ad campaigns on Google, Facebook, Instagram and AdWords Remarketing.
The only thing that you need to do at the beginning, is to provide some basic information about your business (what you sell, who your ideal customer is, what region you'd like to advertise your product or service in, etc.), and Adext will launch, manage and optimize your campaigns for you.

More or less, I'll consider this shop as hidden gem. It just opened not long in here and I felt it has potential. The price is affordable, drinks are free and foods are authentic. Beside noodles, they have rice too or you can try order dishes too.
A combination between black sesame and almond. It is thick, creamy, not too sweet but lack of aroma that it suppose to be. Abit disappointment.
The set are good to go with three to four person and it is totally worth it. The set has little fusion with chinese style but overall, it is very satisfactory.
The foods so far so good! One of the best things was my guest get to enjoy the same foods with the amount of 50% off!
Overall a very satisfying lunch and experience dining in Signature Cafearo. I would love to return here someday for their dessert!
Although Thin crust is very tempting, don't forget to try the pan crust. Definitely worth it.
It was a pretty decent dining in Pizza Gallery. Afterall as I mention before how bad can a pizza be? It doesn't wow me enough but definitely a good place to hangout with friends and enjoy the moment of eating same plate of pizza.
Overall, the buffet was just nice with alot choices around ranging from meat, vegetable, fruits, rojak, mini dessert, ice cream and alot more!
Overall, great dining experience in the Circus. Great music, great foods, great drinks and also great companions are what made my Friday night awesome.
Overall, good experience dining in Manmaru. The interior lighting is bright enough (I am sick of dim lighting restaurant) and the service is fast.
Business Hour Daily from 11am, closes at 1am on Fri & Sat, and 12am all other days.
Overall it is very pleasant dining experience in Brotzeit and friendly service by the waiters there.
Price wise and the portion, it is justifiable for me. Not to say very cheap, but the price good enough to stay away from the main competitors. Overall, it is good dining experience in NoResevation. I wouldn't mind to pay a visit again whenever I am craving for some Japanese foods.
Overall, it was a good experience dining in The Steakhouse.
This Petaling Jaya restaurant's chic interior design blends mother of pearl with metallic and silver shades. The open kitchen sets a dramatic dining backdrop with sparks and flames.
Ayam Percik gonna be my favourite dished of the night. The chicken is tender, easy to chew and tasty of course. It is baked chicken marinated in chef's secret chili sauce. Trust me, the chili sauce is very addictive. Nasi Bokhari Ayam seasoned with fragrant spices and chicken (ayam percik). Well, this is a must have rice to complete the ramadan food chain! One of my favorite rice!
I am pretty satisfied with my lunch.

Danny Kirmond could 'retire happy' if Wakefield Trinity reach Coral Challenge Cup final at Wembley
Danny Kirmond.
Published: 16:03 Wednesday 08 May 2019 Updated: 18:20 Thursday 09 May 2019
Danny Kirmond admits that he could consider hanging up his boots for good if he reaches a "dream" Wembley final with Wakefield Trinity.
Trinity get their 2019 Challenge Cup run underway with a home clash against Championship side Widnes Vikings on Friday night (7.45pm).
Danny Kirmond scores during his testimonial game in January.
The stand-in Wakefield captain agonisingly missed the chance to play at Wembley with Huddersfield Giants a decade ago, as he was injured the week before the final, which Huddersfield lost to Warrington.
"Hopefully if the rugby league gods are smiling down, I will get to run out at Wembley with my hometown club," said Kirmond.
"That would be the dream finale, I think I could hang them up after that and be a very happy man."
It has been 40 years since Wakefield lost to Widnes in the 1979 Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
A lot has changed for both clubs during those four decades, with Wakefield currently flying high in Super League while a points' deduction and near liquidation has saw Widnes sink to the bottom half of the Championship.
"Widnes have had their own difficulties this year but in the Challenge Cup form goes out the window," insisted Kirmond.
"It is always a tough game.
"The club has got a great history in the Challenge Cup and we will be looking to have a really good run this year.
"As players, the league is very important to us and we want to do well and it is the same with the cup.
"When you speak to any of the Aussie players, it is always something they look forward to.
"It is something that we have that they don't have, so the Challenge Cup has a really special place in everyone's hearts.
"And we will be looking to have a really big push in it for the fans this year."

Kirmond's current Trinity deal expires at the end of the season but he admits he hasn't thought much about what happens beyond 2019.
He added: "I am not putting any pressure on myself. I spoke to Chezzy [head coach, Chris Chester] at the start of this year and I am just looking to enjoy my rugby again."

Woman unhappy with 'free' plumbing estimate
SAN PABLO, Calif.
This is a good lesson for anyone hiring a plumber, electrician or any contractor. This woman says she only wanted a free estimate, but the plumber went ahead with the work, could not fix the problem, and she was charged.
Laura Rankins of San Pablo showed us how much water was leaking from her bathtub faucet -- it was more than just a drip and it wouldn't stop.
"I said, 'Oh, no. I better call a plumber,' because I didn't want a higher water bill," said Rankins.
She found a big ad in the Yellow Pages: Preferred Plumbing and Drain was offering free estimates with "no extra charges." It sounded good; so she called them up.
"I said, 'You guys do free estimates right?' They said, 'Yes,'" said Rankins.
The company sent out a plumber and she showed him the leak. Then she says she left him there to prepare the free estimate.
"When I came back he had already took everything apart. He said, 'I can't fix this.' I said, 'Oh no, you can't fix it?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Well, what's the problem?'" said Rankins.
The plumber said he tried putting in new seals, but they didn't stop the leak. This would be a much bigger job.
"He said, 'Well, we're going to have to cut your bathroom wall open.' I said, 'How much is that going to cost?' He said, 'That's going to run you anywhere from $650 to $700.' I said, 'Oh, my God,'" said Rankins.
But a bigger surprise was when the plumber handed her a bill for $165. He said it was the charge for putting in new seals, even though they didn't work. So Rankins gave him $100 cash, plus a $65 check, and the man left. That's when she got upset.
"When I closed the door, I said, 'Wait a minute.' I said, 'He never gave me my free estimate, he just gave me a bill,'" said Rankins.
She called Preferred Plumbing and the company offered to apply the $165 toward the cost of doing that big repair job.
"'You would owe us another $475.' That's when I said, 'No. I want my money back,'" said Rankins.
The company agreed to refund her money, however Rankins says she waited nine days and when a check didn't arrive, she contacted 7 On Your Side. Rankins tells us she never authorized any work, she just wanted her free estimate.
"Our technician did let her know the minimum charge for us to take apart the faucet and repair or try to fix it. So we did notify her of the charges prior to doing any of the work," said Bryan Graves, the co-owner of Preferred Plumbing & Drain.
Graves told us his technician received a verbal OK from Rankins to put in new seals, though he did not obtain her signed authorization.
"Our policy is to get verbal approval and then get a signature, which he did not do," said Graves.
However, Graves said because she was unhappy, Preferred Plumbing sent her a refund check immediately, even before 7 On Your Side contacted the company.
"I didn't need to have the wall taken out at all," said Rankins.
Rankins hired a different plumber. This one put in a new washer, the leak has now stopped, and Rankins did get a full refund from Preferred Plumbing.
Graves says he doubts that a simple washer will stop her leak for long, but he says he just wants a happy customer.
"I do apologize for her poor experience. That's not what we want. It's not what we ever want. We make mistakes sometimes and we will always make it right," said Graves.
State law requires contractors to provide a written contract signed by you before starting any work. And you don't have to pay until the work is finished and the problem is resolved. The owner of Preferred Plumbing tells us he's changed his policy because of this report. He will now provide refunds within 24 hours of the request.


The Wii U has been with us for some time now and I've tried it out on a variety of different families. It's been interesting to see the different reactions to it. Some people get it straight away while others are more of a slow burn.
As you can see in the Wii U video I recently got a group of families together to exchange tips and try out some more games. This not only meant we could all play together but also offered a chance to talk about the other features of the Wii U. Things like the MiiVerse communications and Family Settings.
MiiVerse, if you haven't come across it yet, is the social side of the Wii U. You can pause any game by pressing the Home button then select MiiVerse from the menu to drop into a bulletin board forum for that title. You can ask questions about the game, answer other people's queries, share screen shots and draw pictures. It's these communication snippets that also pop-up in the Wii U home screen as all those Miis gather around the different game icons.
I had expected Nintendo to offer more social features on the Wii U but not to this extent. There is a real risk here as anyone can draw or say anything. It must be hard to police for profanity or mischievous behavior. However, so far it's looking like a very safe place for players of all ages – I'm very impressed as this doesn't happy by accident.
The other element of the Wii U that is coming to light now we've been playing it for longer is that our kids are using it for imaginative play. While the Wii got them playing together and collaborating, to overhear them playing the Wii U (Metroid Blast for example in the video) sounds more like when they play physical games like Lego or other toys. They make up voices for their characters shout out orders and generally enjoy the role play aspect of the game – something they have pretty much invented themselves.
It will take more time to really see how this new Wii U way of playing pans out. The concept of different players having different controllers isn't without its downsides – the need for children to take turns on the big controller for example. So far for me and my family the benefits have far outweighed and of this and the kids have settled into sharing the controller.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Nintendo and Third Party developers use the technology going forward. As the system matures I think we will see a number of unexpected uses of the Wii U Game-pad. I also expect the MiiVerse online world to play a great part in our experience – and wouldn't be surprised if the feature is mirrored on the 3DS before too long.
The Wii U is available from Amazon from $348.

Representative democracy outsourced?
Clive McFarlane
Oct 30, 2009 at 12:34 AM Oct 30, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Last week, I stopped by Chandler Elementary School to observe a debate between City Councilor Barbara Haller and the challenger to her District 4 seat, Grace Ross.
I was struck by the general lack of interest in the debate from members of that community.
District 4 has some struggling schools, but where were the parents that night?
The majority of those in attendance only a few minutes earlier had been holding signs for their respective candidates on the sidewalk outside the school, and I couldn�t help but think that the debate came across as a mock exercise, rather than a true moment in representative democracy.
Some might question whether the latter still exists.
Only about 22 percent, or 19,960, of the city�s roughly 90,730 registered voters are expected to cast a ballot in this election, for example.
When you consider that about 24 percent of the population � residents younger than 18 � cannot vote, the stark reality is that only about 20,000 people, or 11 percent of the city�s approximately 175,000 residents, will decide the membership of the City Council and the School Committee for the next two years.
Two years in this economic climate is a long, long time.
In the next two years, for example, the public schools that your children currently attend might not be around. Something will have to give, when the school budget loses the $18 million it has absorb in stimulus funding, and closing schools has been the primary tool to balance the budget in the past several years.
Joseph O�Brien, a former School Committee member who is currently running for mayor, said he found out that only about 15,000 households in the city vote on a regular basis. The 2000 Census listed just over 67,000 households in the city.
Most startling to Mr. O�Brien is the �I don�t care about that� responses he gets from many residents when he tries to engage them in the politics and economics of municipal government.
�It is sad how so few people are involved, when so many issues impacting their lives � schools, public safety, parks � are being made right down the street,� he said.
The Worcester voting numbers seem to suggest that we are dealing less with representative democracy, and more with a quasi-board of municipal directors made up of the paltry number of households that vote on a regular basis.
The significance of this voting composition impacts city governance not only on the operational side � budgets, etc. � but also structurally � form of government, for example.
City councilors are fond of saying they would rather have change to the charter, such as moving to a strong mayor form of government, done through the ballot, rather than through special state legislation.
The reality is that charter change through the ballot is a difficult path. It would require at least 15 percent of registered voters to approve a petition just to get that process started. That�s nearly all the yea votes of those who consistently turn out to vote in the city�s elections.
How probable is that?
There is one school of thought that the low turnout reflects residents� general contentment with city government.
I don�t buy it, but the reasoning goes that voters would turn out in droves if they sense any suicidal moves by their local government leaders.
If that is the case, you could also make the argument that on such occasions people would more likely be voting in panic, rather than with reason.
Of course, like everything else American, it could be that representative democracy has become too expensive, both financially and personally, to grow at home.
Would a less expensive process generate a larger field of competent, gifted and visionary candidates and lead to an increase in voter participation?
I don�t know, but it sure seems we are more committed to outsourcing our democracy � to Iraq and Afghanistan, for example � than nurturing it at home.

fanatix | American Football | NFL | NFL rumors: Houston Texans to host Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel
NFL rumors: Houston Texans to host Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel
Sumeet Paul
Quarterback duo projected to go early in next month's draft.
The Houston Texans are scheduled to host former UCF quarterback Blake Bortles and former Texas A&M signal-caller Johnny Manziel in the coming weeks.
It is understood that Bortles will have his pre-draft visit on April 15 and 16, while Manziel will arrive a week later on April 21 and 22, according to an ESPN source.
Texans coach Bill O'Brien and general manager Rick Smith attended both players' pro days while the vice-chaiman, Cal McNair, was also present for Manziel's as the 21-year-old made the headlines with his impressive display.
Given that Houston have the first overall pick in this year's draft, speculation is rife that they will target a quarterback as that is arguably their biggest area for strengthening.
Having traded Matt Schaub to the Oakland Raiders, Houston signed veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in free agency while they already have T.J. Yates and Case Keenum on the roster.
However, it is understood that the organisation feel that that doesn't address the long-term problem, and with the likes of Bortles and Manziel forming a strong draft class this year, they could look to acquire one of those quarterback prospects with their pick.
In addition, a large Texans contingent travelled to South Carolina's pro day last week to see defensive end Jadeveon Clowney work out, while former Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has also met individually with the franchise more than once already.
It promises to be an intriguing night next month when the draft takes place, as the decision from the Texans will likely have a significant impact on what happens thereafter, with interest strong in Manziel throughout the league.

solo | OH, the places you'll go.
I got a letter a couple months ago from a dear friend who is currently going to a small Bible college out in the boonies of Montana. He had written the letter the day after he returned from a 48hr period of solitude in the wilderness, spent in fasting, prayer, Bible reading and simply being in the presence of God. Back in November when I was reading it, his words struck me as odd. "..It did not go as I had pictured. Not even close. I pictured a very peaceful and pleasant time with my Father but it turned out to be a very revealing, testing and breaking time before a Holy God with nowhere to run.. (the days) ended with me sick with myself and pleading with the Lord." The word "breaking" especially caught my attention. You are in the middle of one of the most glorious mountain ranges a person can find themselves in, surrounded by the presence of God Almighty and He chooses to break you? Not inspire, not refresh, not comfort, but break?
It wasn't long before I learned exactly the weight of meaning held within those words. The past month, my roommates left for their home countries and I found myself in a place of solitude. Granted, two weeks were spent on vacation with a wonderful Brazilian missionary family who work alongside me here in Madagascar through AIM, but the other two weeks I spent very little time outside of my house. Other than assisting my Short Term Coordinator, I had the mornings and evenings to myself. At the start of the two weeks I found myself filling my time; a little facebook here and there, a few skypes with friends, some reading, cooking sessions with music blaring through the halls of my empty house. But I grew tired. I was tired of seeing life back home confined to my computer screen. I was tired of cooking meals only to eat them by myself. My ears grew tired of the music and the noise.
I must say – the practice of true solitude is one of the healthiest practices a person can commit themselves to. When you take a little time to slow down and tune out the noise, and you aren't so concerned in updating a status or searching desperately for yet another way to be entertained or fulfill this or that person's obligations, a space is emptied. A space for the often quiet, whispers of God.
I went on a 336hr solo with Him and He broke me.
Oh I praise God for His graciousness. He takes us to the point of breaking us, but He never leaves us broken for long, just long enough to come to the end of ourselves.

Police Report Says Eric Garner, Who Died, 'Did Not Appear to Be in Great Distress'
By Joe Coscarelli

The video says otherwise, but an internal NYPD report claims the arrest of Eric Garner on Staten Island went relatively smoothly, except for the cardiac-arrest part. The preliminary document, obtained by the New York Daily News, quotes Sergeant Dhanan Saminath, an officer present at the scene, saying "he perpetrator's did not appear to be in great distress." Shall we check the tape on that? Nope, definitely full of distress.
Another officer, Sergeant Kizzy Adonis, said "the perpetrator's condition did not seem serious and that he did not appear to get worse." Garner, a 43-year-old father of six, died soon after. (He "became unresponsive, though he was observed to be breathing," according to the report, and went into cardiac arrest "when he was placed on the stretcher.") Four other officers involved, including Daniel Pantaleo, who administered the illegal chokehold, were not interviewed for the report, pending a criminal investigation.
The Daily News adds that Adonis also told interviewers she "believed she heard" Garner, who was suspected of selling loose cigarettes, "state that he was having difficulty breathing." On the tape, he can be heard saying "I can't breathe" at least nine times.

L.A.'s First Public Fruit Park is Set to Open
By Lindsay William-Ross
Published Jan 4, 2013 12:00 AM
Photo of a mature orange tree by Antonov Roman via Shutterstock
Los Angeles, get ready to get to know your very first public fruit park! Wait, what's a fruit park, you ask? No, it's not a designated spot for eccentrics and oddballs, it's actually a public art project aimed at building community through the installation and maintenance of an urban orchard.
The project is the work of the collective Fallen Fruit (LAist coverage), who worked with the Office of Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and the Department of Parks and Recreation to plant the public orchard now known as the Del Aire Fruit Park. Not only does this urban food source break ground as the first of its kind in L.A., but it's also the first of its kind in California.
Here's the official description:
The fruit park includes an orchard with 27 fruit trees, ranging from peach to plum, 8 native grapevines and edible herbs — all of which will be harvested freely by the community.
Additionally, over 60 fruit trees were distributed in the neighborhood, allowing locals to really align with the community spirit of the project and the scope of the Fruit Park.
Here's a little more about the trees in the park from Fallen Fruit:
Through this collaboration Fallen Fruit invite the citizens of Los Angeles to reconsider their relationship with public and urban space to explore the meaning of community through sharing and creating new and abundant resources. The fruit trees planted in Del Aire Fruit Park reflect the natural ripening of fruit during a season, plums and peaches in the summer, pomegranate and persimmon in the fall, and citrus such as lime, lemons, oranges and kumquats over the winter and spring.
The Del Aire Fruit Park is holding a public dedication Saturday, January 5, from 10:30-11 a.m.
The trees, however, are still in their slender infancy, and the park's "full transformation will take time," cautions Fallen Fruit. (Read: Don't go expecting to cart away truckloads of free fruit.) However, events like fruit tree giveaways and the "Public Jam" held last year are the kinds of community activities aimed at further drawing in Angelenos to be a part of the landscape.
