Marcel & Jane Labbé celebrate 70 years of marriage and a legacy of community service
Isabel Mosseler
It came as a delightful and complete surprise to both Marcel and Jane Labbé when a parade wound its way towards their former home on Church Street in Sturgeon Falls last Friday, July 31, to honour the couple on their 70th wedding anniversary. A steady stream of vehicles festooned with balloons and signs, led by the WN Fire Department, WN Mayor Joanne Savage and the Knights of Columbus walking on foot and bearing standards, passed by the gaily-decorated garage of the family home, now owned by their daughter.
Marcel and Jane, aged 95 and 93, sat in their chairs to receive heartfelt acknowledgments, not only for the longevity of their marriage but also for their countless contributions to the community. Marcel served 31 years on Sturgeon Falls municipal council (pre-amalgamation); Jane was the founder of the West Nipissing Food Bank (along with Gail Koster), a founding member of Community Living and the first community daycare; and the two of them worked tirelessly on the steering committee to establish the arena, pool and recreation centre in Sturgeon Falls.
The couple were denied a large family celebration due to Covid restrictions, so daughter Dianne Labbé hastily organized the parade with just a few days' notice. Mayor Joanne Savage stopped to present a certificate on behalf of the municipality and multiple friends stepped out of their vehicles to drop off gifts and cards, all while maintaining social distance. The Labbés were visibly cheered, laughing and clapping as the gifts and cards piled up, with Jane repeatedly exclaiming "Oh my!" while greeting each of their many friends..

Fatal Auto Accidents

Last Updated: May 2nd, 2022 at 4:16 pm
Few things in life are as difficult as losing a loved one in an accident. In addition to the emotional devastation, most fatal car accidents don't qualify as criminal incidents, so the victim's survivors may feel like the responsible party has escaped justice. You can never truly be made whole for the loss of a family member, but you can receive compensation for their medical bills, funeral expenses, and the tremendous pain and suffering that you're experiencing.
South Florida injury attorney Justin Weinstein of Weinstein Legal has dedicated his career to bringing justice to accident victims and their families. Weinstein Legal handles wrongful death and other personal injury cases on a contingency basis, so while you're grieving and working on rebuilding your life, attorney Weinstein is pursuing compensation from the responsible party. Call today to speak with a lawyer at Weinstein Legal free of charge.
Most Common Fatal Car Accidents
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were 3,332 fatalities resulting from 3,098 crashes in the state of Florida. Of those deaths, 13.6% — nearly one in seven — occurred in Palm Beach or Broward.
The following are the most common causes of fatal car accidents in the state of Florida according to the most recent FLHSMV collected data (2017):
Operating a Motor Vehicle in a Careless or Reckless Manner – This accounted for 765 of the approximate 3,000 deaths in 2017.
Failure to Yield the Right of Way – 559 motor vehicle deaths resulted from accidents caused by right of way violations.
Failure to Maintain the Proper Lane – 205 deaths resulted from improper lane changes.
Running Off the Roadway – This accounted for 167 deaths in 2017.
Pedestrian Deaths – 564 pedestrians died as a result of car crashes in 2017.
While the following factors were not necessarily the cause of the accident, they contributed to the danger that caused the fatal accidents. For instance, 861 fatal accidents occurred at intersections, and 234 accidents were categorized as "Driver Distracted." In 651 of the deaths, the occupant who died was unbelted.
Elements for a Successful Wrongful Death Case
It's an unfortunate reality that not all fatal accidents are actionable. In order for an auto accident lawyer to prove their case, they must demonstrate that the following elements are met:
1. Duty of Care
Every driver on the road has a duty of care to the occupants of their own vehicle and every other person driving or walking on that roadway. That means that they must be attentive while driving and obey all traffic laws.
2. Negligence (Breach of Duty of Care)
It's essential to demonstrate that the plaintiff was in some way negligent through carelessness or recklessness. This can be demonstrated by showing that the defendant violated a traffic law or that they failed to exercise the caution that other drivers in a similar situation would have.
3. Causation
Causation means that the defendant's breach of duty caused the accident that led to the wrongful death of the deceased. It's entirely possible that a violation of traffic laws did not cause the accident, but in a successful wrongful death action, the accident attorney must demonstrate that defendant's behavior caused the accident and the death.
It's essential to establish a full accounting of the damages caused by the accident. Among other things, these include the cost of medical care, funeral expenses, property damage, future lost income, pain and suffering for both the deceased and the survivors, and future lost income.
Proving Liability for a Fatal Car Accident
Fatal auto accident cases can be extraordinarily complicated, and insurance companies have teams of accident attorneys to help minimize their liability. The attorneys at Weinstein Legal diligently pursues all evidence before pursuing a claim. This includes:
A thorough review of police reports, hospital records, and the medical examiner's report if the death was unattended by a doctor.
Deposing and analyzing the statements of all witnesses, including the investigating police officers and any EMTs that treated the deceased on scene.
Reviewing and analyzing evidence with accident reconstruction experts and the legal team.
A thorough deposition of the defendant and any other occupants from the defendant's vehicle.
Once the lawyers at Weinstein Legal have established liability and have calculated the amount of economic and non-economic damages the client is due, the lawyers will open settlement negotiations with the responsible insurers.
Recovering Compensation for a Fatal Car Accident
In order to recover damages in a wrongful death claim, you must have standing. The law attempts to block non-interested parties from profiting off of the tragic deaths of others. Family members usually can establish standing in the state of Florida, including spouses, minor children, adult children, parents, blood relatives, and adoptive relatives. A romantic partner may also be listed as a plaintiff if they were financially dependent on the deceased. But the surviving family members are not able to file a lawsuit directly. A personal representative of the deceased's estate is responsible for filing, and they are also responsible for listing the individuals who have standing in the claim.
In the state of Florida, the statute of limitations is usually four years from the date of the accident, but in wrongful death lawsuits, it's two years from the date of death. It's essential that you don't delay. Wrongful death lawsuits require time and planning. Contact the legal team at Weinstein Legal today so that they can immediately begin working on your case.
Why Contact a Personal Injury Attorney?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer may be the last thing on your mind in the hours and days after the death of a loved one, but it's imperative that you do it as soon as you're able. Weinstein Legal knows the difficulty that you're going through. The legal team will begin gathering reports, taking statements, subpoenaing records, and more while you grieve the loss of your loved one. Ultimately, their goal is justice for the deceased and fair compensation for the survivors. The lawyers at Weinstein Legal work on a contingency basis, which means they only collect a fee if they win your case through a negotiated settlement or a court award. Call Weinstein Legal today to speak to an attorney.

The California man who killed a dozen people at a bar packed with college students was a former Marine who may have been suffering from PTSD, the Ventura County sheriff said.
The gunman opened fire at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, about 40 miles west of Los Angeles, at about 11.20pm on Wednesday night. He died at a hospital early Thursday. The weapon usually holds 10 rounds and one in the chamber, but the gunman used an extended magazine in this shooting, Dean said.
Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said on Thursday that Long was armed with a Glock 21, a.45-caliber handgun created to hold 10 rounds plus one in the chamber. No other information on them was immediately known.
Kuredjian said the shooter no longer posed a threat to surrounding communities, but could not confirm if he was shot dead or captured. Police said he killed himself.
It was the deadliest mass shooting in the USA since 17 students and teachers were killed at a Parkland, Florida, high school nine months ago. Likewise, the shooter is dead, along with the first police officer to enter the bar.
Federal Bureau of Investigation officials were seen visiting a residence believed to be Long's in Newbury Park, California, which neighbors Thousand Oaks. Dean says Helus was his longtime friend and gym partner and planned to retire soon after 29 years with the force.
"(He) said to her, 'Hey I got to go handle a call.

Workshop for faculty and graduate students
"Right-wing Jewish Radicalism and the Politics of the Comparative Gaze" with Professor Arie Dubnov
Global and International Studies Building, Room 4067
The trope of the "radical Jew" is often evoked in discussions concerning the place of Jews in revolutionary left-wing politics during the twentieth-century. Far less attention was given, however, to the history of Jewish right-wing radicalism in general and the pre-statehood "maximalist" revisionism in particular. The dual aims of Dr. Dubnov's paper are to revisit the history of this brand of non-religious Jewish nationalist ultra-right, to rescue it from the confines and a narrow "Palestino-centric" context in which it was usually read, and place it instead in a larger, transnational context. It argues that its processes of radicalization could be better understood if we take into consideration the ways in which members of these groups developed a political language and radical vocabulary that was based on a borrowing and mixing of ideas taken from three different sources, namely: Russian Bolshevism, Italian Fascism, and the Irish Sinn Féin. It thus traces the deep-seated intellectual roots and basic conceptual contradictions built into the pre-1948 notions regarding "Malchut Yisrael" ("Kingdom of Israel") that resurfaced in later years, and in a different context, after the 1967 Six Day War.
Arie M. Dubnov is a historian of twentieth century Jewish and Israeli history, with emphasis on the history of political thought, the study of nationalism, decolonization and partition politics, and with a subsidiary interest in the history of Israeli popular culture. Prior to his arrival at George Washington University, Dubnov taught at Stanford University and the University of Haifa. In 2014 he was a participant in the National History Center's International Decolonization Seminar, and in 2016 he was awarded the Dorset Fellowship at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and a was Visiting Scholar at Wolfson College, Oxford. Among his publications are the intellectual biographyIsaiah Berlin: The Journey of a Jewish Liberal (Palgrave Macmillan U.S., 2012), the edited volume Zionism – A View from the Outside (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2010 [in Hebrew]), seeking to put Zionist history in a larger comparative trajectory, and numerous essays published essays in Nations & Nationalism, Modern Intellectual History, The Journal of Israeli History and more. His current research project seeks to trace the genealogy of the idea of partition in the British interwar imperial context, and to uncover other alternative, neglected federalist political schemes that were circulating at the time.

Perusing the shelves of your local liquor store, you're presented with dozens of whiskeys to choose from. Their labels likely boast nostalgic imagery evocative of the American frontier, and perhaps, in the hipper parts of town, words like "craft," "single barrel," and "small batch." Maybe you gravitate toward your favorite, the basic but reliable bourbon you've mixed with ginger or bitters for decades. Or maybe you reach for a special bottle this time, one with a hand-printed label and an elaborate origin story for its namesake.
Behind those shelves lies a complex history of regulation, corruption, wealth, and power. In his book Bourbon Empire: The Past and Future of America's Whiskey, Reid Mitenbuler seeks to illuminate some of the lesser-known aspects of bourbon's path to becoming America's signature spirit. Walking away from this book may leave you a bit discouraged about how readily we bourbon drinkers have consumed the industry's marketing ploys—terms like "craft" and "single barrel" are entirely unregulated, it turns out, and mean virtually nothing. And that legend on the label, detailing the namesake's hardscrabble success story, is almost certainly made up. (For instance, Michter's suggestion that George Washington served their alcohol to his troops during the Revolution makes for a good story, but in reality, the modern version of that brand, which purports to date back to 1753, has only existed since the 1990s.) In Mitenbuler's telling, however, those fabrications don't undermine the reality that even the large-batch, several-barrel bourbon we're drinking today is still high quality and authentic.
Bourbon Empire is primarily a history, one that stretches back to the eighteenth century. Mitenbuler uses the dichotomy of Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian politics to frame the industry's various themes and changing tides. This contrast is clearly illustrated by the fight over the controversial whiskey tax that led to the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 and embodied the core existential crises of a nation still finding its identity. Hamilton's advocacy for the tax positioned him as a friend of bankers, big business, and the elite. Jefferson's opposition allied him with small farmers and agrarianism writ large. While the tax did pass in 1791, it was repealed when Jefferson entered office in 1801.
After a choppy first few chapters—which mostly oscillate between describing the wonky details of how whiskey is made, and characterizing assorted presidents' alcohol preferences (Washington preferred brandy, and Jefferson snobbishly eschewed whiskey for the higher-brow wine)—Mitenbuler picks up bourbon's narrative around the Civil War. By that time, whiskey was a widely consumed beverage (though it was also still occasionally used for cleaning wounds). The book moves quickly through the 1800s, briefly discussing the Whiskey Trust of the late 1880s and its attempts to monopolize the industry before being pursued by the U.S. government under the Sherman Antitrust Act. The bulk of the book, though, focuses on the whiskey magnates of the twentieth century, and their looming legacies in today's consolidated whiskey industry.
When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, men like Rosenstiel seized the opportunity to solidify their control over the bourbon industry. Consolidation in the industry began to accelerate. Between 1933 and 1958 the number of distilleries dropped from 130 to seventy-six as the bigger companies expanded through acquisition. By the end of that period, the top four distilleries controlled more than 75 percent of the market. And few attempts were made to reel in the power of these giants. In 1952, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on whiskey monopolies, but nothing came of it. In the postwar era, whiskey was booming. Not only was whiskey patriotic, but the whiskey lobby had grown in strength over the prior decades.
Soon, Americans' devotion to their favorite spirit would be codified into law. Worried about losing his foothold to foreign producers, Rosenstiel used his lobby shop, the Bourbon Institute, to convince Congress that bourbon deserved a trade designation to preserve its uniquely American provenance. In 1964, Congress passed a resolution declaring bourbon "a distinctive product of the United States," protecting the domestic market from foreign imitations. (Bourbon companies can be, and are, owned by foreign companies and headquartered overseas, but production must happen stateside.) The legacy of this protection is still felt: today, nearly 95 percent of bourbon is produced in Kentucky. Over 40 percent of that production is controlled by Beam Suntory, producer of Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Old Grand-Dad, Old Crow, Old Overholt, and Knob Creek, among many other spirits.
Giving an account of the power brokers in the bourbon industry inevitably means a history that features almost exclusively white men. But there is a taste of diversity in the script of bourbon's history, to be found in the prominent role of Jewish immigrants in the early bourbon boom. Today, the bottles on liquor store shelves bear names like Craig, Beam, Harper, Daniels, Walker, or Williams. But a representative ode to bourbon's greats might include Bronfman, Lehman, Shapira, Abelson, and Wertheimer, in addition to Rosenstiel. In the industry's early days, however, it was assumed that bottles sporting these names wouldn't sell to a nativist and anti-Semitic American citizenry. But Mitenbuler dedicates ample inches to discussing the largely unrecognized contributions of this cohort, one of the great gifts of this book to the historical record of American bourbon.
The notion of an industry that is able to marry the economic worldviews of Jefferson and Hamilton is certainly pleasant to imagine. But the consolidation of today's industry would suggest that for all practical purposes, Hamilton's vision has won out. As consolidation has swept many American industries, so has the whiskey industry been concentrated to just a few companies. Today, thirteen distilleries produce nearly 95 percent of all the whiskey consumed in America, and those distilleries are owned by eight companies. (That percentage was virtually 100 before the recent whiskey renaissance saw the opening of many truly independent distilleries.) The distilleries sell their product to many brands you've heard of—one of the biggest, the unromantically named Midwest Grain Products Ingredients, sells its whiskey to Templeton, Bulleit Rye, and others.
Mitenbuler asks the right questions about today's whiskey industry—centrally: Is big inherently bad? As the bourbon industry has grown, has it lost touch with its image of "independence, self-sufficiency, and aversion to arbitrary rules?" But when he answers these questions he focuses mainly on how such consolidation might affect quality. Large-scale bourbon producers, he argues, are still putting out high-quality products—in many instances, better tasting than the smaller-batch distilleries. And this settles the point for him. "The size of a still, big or small, pot or column, has far less impact on a whiskey's quality than the skill and know-how of the distiller operating it," he says. So long as the giants still employ top-notch distillers, the quality of our whiskey won't be in jeopardy.
But quality is only one metric of a healthy industry. While the illusion of choice may be, in Mitenbuler's view, largely innocuous so long as the product tastes good, it's still an illusion, one that has most consumers fooled. Sure, there are more whiskey distilleries today than there were five or ten years ago. But most consumers, especially those outside of urban centers, can't avoid choosing a bottle produced by one of the big eight, if not the big four. And those biggest corporations can use their monopolistic power to change the product's recipe, proof, distribution, or price without much obstacle or transparency for consumers. The dominance of these giants also makes it more difficult for new distillers to produce and market their whiskey, limiting our options as we peruse the liquor store shelves.
Attempting to discuss both the history and the contemporary context of bourbon is difficult, and Mitenbuler handles the tension gracefully. Bourbon Empire is a page-turner, and not only for the incredible number of party facts you will accumulate in the course of turning those pages. (For instance, did you know that a spirit's "proof" was originally determined by mixing it with gunpowder and setting it on fire? If the mixture burned too low it was "under proof," and a flare-up meant it was "over proof." An even flame meant the whiskey was about 50 percent alcohol by volume, and therefore "100 percent proved." Now you can tell your friends why dividing the proof in half determines a spirit's alcohol percentage.) The more cynical bourbon drinker might disagree with Mitenbuler's optimistic conclusions about the shape of today's industry. But whether you're a bourbon nerd curious to know what distilling techniques your favorite brand prefers, or a history buff interested in the faces and names behind one of our country's iconic industries, Bourbon Empire offers a perspective you haven't encountered before.

Simple yet stunning. This is the most versatile gold earring you can own. Handcrafted in the signature Aha Surf Shape © with solid 14 Karat GF hooks.
The Gold Luster leather earring is crafted from a gorgeous Italian gold saffiano leather. The front of the leather has a fine criss cross grain with tan back. One of our favorite leathers to craft earrings from is from saffiano because of its beautiful texture and how well it holds its shape!


I always thought if I built a speedster to go with my '17, I'd string-wrap the steering wheel. Well, found a roll of string in the toolbox and decided to try it on my '32 Chevy wheel. Kind of a tedious job, but I like the result. Just need to tone down the string color a bit. Dare I ask for comments?
Is it just string wrapped around the wheel or is the string coated with something (varnish, lacquer, etc.)? I imagine it would last a lot longer if coated.
I have an Indian Junior Scout with a string wrapped throttle. Unvarnished....the years of sweat and oil keep the wrap tight.
I used several coats of varnish and sanded between coats to get the texture that I like on my speedster. It gives a nice feel to the wheel.
How long a roll does it take?
George, I'll probably let it age before attempting to coat it. James, That looks great. Thanks for the advice.
John, I used up a big spool of string wrapping mine, way more than I thought I'd need. Unfortunately, it came out of a drawer in my toolbox without a label, so no info on length. Other members will have better info.

Micro Electronic Pill
The invention of transistor enabled the first use of radiometry capsules, which used simple circuits for the internal study of the gastro-intestinal (GI) [1] tract. They couldn't be used as they could transmit only from a single channel and also due to the size of the components.
They also suffered from poor reliability, low sensitivity and short lifetimes of the devices. This led to the application of single-channel telemetry capsules for the detection of disease and abnormalities in the GI tract where restricted area prevented the use of traditional endoscopy.
They were later modified as they had the disadvantage of using laboratory type sensors such as the glass pH electrodes, resistance thermometers, etc. They were also of very large size. The later modification is similar to the above instrument but is smaller in size due to the application of existing semiconductor fabrication technologies. These technologies led to the formation of "MICROELECTRONIC PILL".
Microelectronic pill is basically a multichannel sensor used for remote biomedical measurements using micro technology. This is used for the real-time measurement parameters such as temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen. The sensors are fabricated using electron beam and photolithographic pattern integration and were controlled by an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
Microelectronic pill consists of 4 sensors (2) which are mounted on two silicon chips (Chip 1 & 2), a control chip (5), a radio transmitter (STD- type 1-7, type2-crystal type-10) & silver oxide batteries (8). 1-access channel, 3-capsule, 4- rubber ring, 6-PCB chip carrier
A. Sensors
There are basically 4 sensors mounted on two chips- Chip 1 & chip 2. On chip 1(shown in fig 2 a), c), e)), temperature sensor silicon diode (4), pH ISFET sensor (1) and dual electrode conductivity sensor (3) are fabricated. Chip 2 comprises of three electrode electrochemical cell oxygen sensor (2) and optional NiCr resistance thermometer.
1) Sensor chip 1:
An array consisting of both temperature sensor & pH sensor platforms were cut from the wafer & attached onto 100-µm- thick glass cover slip cured on a hot plate. The plate acts as a temporary carrier to assist handling of the device during level 1 of lithography when the electric connections tracks, electrodes bonding pads are defined. Bonding pads provide electrical contact to the external electronic circuit.
Lithography [2] was the first fundamentally new printing technology since the invention of relief printing in the fifteenth century. It is a mechanical Plano graphic process in which the printing and non-printing areas of the plate are all at the same level, as opposed to intaglio and relief processes in which the design is cut into the printing block. Lithography is based on the chemical repellence of oil and water. Designs are drawn or painted with greasy ink or crayons on specially prepared limestone. The stone is moistened with water, which the stone accepts in areas not covered by the crayon. Oily ink, applied with a roller, adheres only to the drawing and is repelled by the wet parts of the stone. Pressing paper against the inked drawing then makes the print.
Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder in Germany in 1798 and, within twenty years, appeared in England and the United States. Almost immediately, attempts were made to print pictures in color. Multiple stones were used; one for each color, and the print went through the press as many times as there were stones. The problem for the printers was keeping the image in register, making sure that the print would be lined up exactly each time it went through the press so that each color would be in the correct position and the overlaying colors would merge correctly.
Early colored lithographs used one or two colors to tint the entire plate and create a watercolor-like tone to the image. This atmospheric effect was primarily used for landscape or topographical illustrations. For more detailed coloration, artists continued to rely on hand coloring over the lithograph. Once tinted lithographs were well established, it was only a small step to extend the range of color by the use of multiple tint blocks printed in succession. Generally, these early chromolithographs were simple prints with flat areas of color, printed side-by-side.
Increasingly ornate designs and dozens of bright, often gaudy, colors characterized chromolithography in the second half of the nineteenth century. Overprinting and the use of silver and gold inks widened the range of color and design. Still a relatively expensive process, chromolithography was used for large-scale folio works and illuminated gift books that often attempted to reproduce the handwork of manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The steam-driven printing press and the wider availability of inexpensive paper stock lowered production costs and made chromolithography more affordable. By the 1880s, the process was widely used for magazines and advertising. At the same time, however, photographic processes were being developed that would replace lithography by the beginning of the twentieth century.

Home Good Pinoys Luneta Ice Cream wins 2 Netherlands' National Prizes
Luneta Ice Cream wins 2 Netherlands' National Prizes
Eldan Sambatyon
Luneta Ice Cream has won the Pinoys and Dutch palates, and now two awards in the new year. Photo from Luneta Ice Cream website.
Luneta Ice Cream grabbed two National Prizes – the 2020 Food Truck of the Year Award (Ice Cream category) and Gold Award for excellence in product and service at the De Nederlandse HORECA (Hotels, Restaurants, and Café) Prijzen.
Luneta Ice Cream was among the winners announced on January 20, 2020, becoming the first Filipino-Dutch food truck to win the national prize which recognizes the best businesses in the Netherlands.
The makers of the Pinoy sorbetes-style ice cream in the Netherlands won the Dutch HORECA Prize for Food Truck of the Year and the Gold Award after a professional jury selection from among the provincial winners of public voting conducted from October to November 2019.
Rhea Topacio and Dennis Rogacion, founders of Luneta Ice Cream, expressed their deepest gratitude to all the people who love their product and supported their bid for the Dutch HORECA Prize awards.
"We won because of you! What a good way to start in 2020! We are super happy with all your votes, shares and for all-out support of everyone all over the world. Your super support and cheers made us all winners," the Luneta Ice Cream page posted on January 21.

When there's a will there away. As the Filipino saying goes, "Kung may tiyaga may nilaga", and in their case, "may Sorbetes". The couple started their award-winning business with an entrepreneurial spirit to augment their income in the Netherlands.
Their ice cream creations started at their kitchen with a small ice cream maker. The couple went through trials and errors to find the right blend that tickled the palate and it was not easy. Their friends became the tasters of the products that became popular in the Filipino community.
Luneta Ice cream was launched in 2015. The familiar names and flavors not only caught fire with Pinoys, but it also turned out that the locals of the Netherlands and Europeans liked to try new things and loved the exotic tropical taste and flavors of the new ice cream.
Luneta Ice Cream's bestsellers are ube (purple yam) and Philippine mango. The other favorite flavors include Macapuno (coconut), Kapeng Barako (coffee), Pandan, Banana, Melon and Lychee, and Pineapple sorbet.
Today, Luneta Ice Cream is available in 30 selected retailers and restaurants in the Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Norway, Sweden, and Lithuania.
More Filipino ice cream creations have won international and customer awards. Among them, London's first Filipino ice cream parlor, Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream, won the Best Sweet Treat Award from The Golden Chopsticks Awards 2019 while Central Luzon State University won the Gold Award at the Salon International de L'Agroalimentaire (SIAL) Innovation for their Tilapia Ice Cream.
Homegrown Carmen's Best local ice cream was offered on the country's official airline carrier and major supermarket chains while Love Elait's Artisanal Rolled Ice Cream and its advocacy earned customer favor.

The $120 Million Woman: How Reese Witherspoon Conquered Hollywood
She's also an entrepreneur who's breaking down doors for other women. Read these 18 true facts about the "Big Little Lies" star.
Reese Witherspoon, seen here in 2015 at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, doesn't just rake in money from film and TV. She's also an entrepreneur.
What's more impressive: winning more than 50 awards in movies and television — including an Oscar, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe — or having a net worth of approximately $120 million?
While that net worth may not have been possible without the awards, Reese Witherspoon is certainly more than just a talented actress. The 42-year-old Hollywood A-lister is also an accomplished entrepreneur with a keen eye for business. She's been working hard since she was just a kid.
If you've ever wanted to know more about the Southern belle from "Legally Blonde," check out these 18 facts about Witherspoon's life and lifestyle.
She Started Her Career Early
The 1991 movie "The Man in the Moon" marked Reese Witherspoon's Hollywood breakout.
Witherspoon made her big screen debut at just 14 years old.
She played the main role in "The Man in the Moon," a coming of age drama about a Louisiana girl. The film was critically acclaimed and earned four stars from Roger Ebert, who also commended Witherspoon's performance.
Her Daughter Worked at a Pizza Joint
Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe arrive at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles in 2017. After a stint working in a pizza place, Ava now models.
By contrast, Reese's daughter, Ava, is not starring in movies just yet.
Reese sent her to work at a pizza shop in the 'burbs of Hollywood for her summer job in 2017. It wasn't a permanent thing, of course — Ava just became a fashion model. It was probably just a way for Reese to help her daughter build character.
As a side note, 18-year-old Ava looks much like an 18-year-old Reese.
She's Not Just an Actor, She's a Leader
Reese Witherspoon, show here earning The Hollywood Hero award in 2015, has embraced a leadership role in Hollywood and beyond.
Fortune ranked Witherspoon at No. 35 in its 2018 "World's 50 Greatest Leaders" roundup.
The publication cited Witherspoon being an "integral player in the current golden age of TV," as well as her involvement in the Time's Up Movement, which led to HBO addressing its own gender pay gaps.
Her Engagement Ring Is Crazy Expensive
Reese Witherspoon poses with her husband, Jim Toth, at the Emmy Awards in 2017.
When Hollywood talent agent Jim Toth proposed to Witherspoon in 2010, he did so in a sparklingly expensive fashion: Toth reportedly asked the Southern belle to marry him with a rare four-carat Ashoka diamond ring from William Goldberg, which has an estimated worth of $250,000.
Her Breakout Role Paid $1 million
"Legally Blonde" elevated Reese Witherspoon to Hollywood's A-list in 2001.
While Witherspoon was certainly not an unknown before "Legally Blonde," she wasn't yet a household name. That all changed in 2001 when "Legally Blonde" became a box office sensation, making nearly $142 million on an $18 million budget.
Witherspoon was reportedly paid $1 million for the role — which is nothing to sneeze at. Then she earned 15 times more than that for the film's 2003 sequel, "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde."
She Dropped Out of College
Reese Witherspoon studied at Stanford University (pictured) for a year, before re-dedicating herself to acting.
Witherspoon only spent a year at Stanford University in the mid-1990s, where she studied English literature, before leaving to pursue her acting career.
She quickly landed roles in "Freeway," "Fear," "Twilight" (not the one with glittering vampires), "Pleasantville" and "Cruel Intentions."
She's Now One of Hollywood's Highest Paid Actresses
Reese Witherspoon, shown here at a conference in 2015, commands eight figures to star in a movie.
Ten years ago, Weatherspoon commanded $15 to $20 million per film and earned the No. 1 spot on Hollywood's highest paid actresses by the Hollywood Reporter. In 2015, she ranked the eighth highest paid actress, at $15 million per film by Forbes.
And Sometimes She Dresses Like It
It was reported that Reese Witherspoon wore $1.5 million in jewelry from Tiffany & Co. at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.
Witherspoon wasn't afraid to flaunt her wealth at the 2015 Golden Globes.
According to US Magazine, the actress rocked a pair of $600,000 diamond earrings, a $695,000 6.75 carat platinum ring and a $200,000 diamond bracelet. That adds up to about $1.5 million in jewelry from Tiffany & Co. — not counting the beaded Calvin Klein gown.
Whether or not she actually owns all that garb is another issue entirely.
Award ceremonies are a haven for top-end fashion designers to get publicity while loaning their wares to big name celebs. In fact, she might have even been paid: According to the Hollywood Reporter, fashion companies can pay "actresses up to $250,000 to wear a dress or up to $1 million for a piece of jewelry."
She Owns Her Own Lifestyle Brand
The aesthetics Reese Witherspoon champions are on display at the Draper James store in Nashville, Tennessee.
Does your closet or kitchen need a touch of Southern charm? Witherspoon has your back — for the right price.
In 2013 she founded Draper James, a clothing and lifestyle brand that stamps Southern charm on everything from iPhone cases to wicker handbags and sun dresses. The store does cater to more affluent shoppers. Case in point, those iPhone cases cost $40 each.
However, she did recently announce more "accessible prices" for her new spring lineup.
She Likens Pitching Venture Capitalists to Acting
Reese Witherspoon arrives at the Oscars in 2015, the same year she founded Draper James.
Draper James began as a startup.
While Witherspoon may have been able to fund the entire thing herself, she went about funding the business like any other startup: By getting money from venture capitalists. She likened it to acting, and also said it didn't matter that she was an A-lister.
"I had to go into lots of different meetings with lots of different venture capitalists and I [had] to pitch the company," Witherspoon told The Today Show. "That was a scary time because they don't care who you are. It's whether your business is viable and it's robust."
It must have been viable. In 2015, she raised $10 million for Draper James.
She Renovated a Nashville Mansion
Reese Witherspoon bought this fixer-upper mansion in Nashville for just under $2 million. She owns several homes in the city.
Nashville is where Witherspoon grew up, and it seems to be where she may ultimately want to live.
According to Variety, the star owns "at least" four homes in the city. Most recently, she bought a fixer-upper mansion: a run-down 3,855-square-foot mansion on 6.5 acres she purchased for $1.95 million in 2014, according to Variety. While certainly stately, the home clearly needed some work. Witherspoon was up to the task.
Check out the before photos and head on over her Instagram for sneak peeks inside this property.
She Lives in a $12.7 Million Mansion
Views from Pacific Palisades, the section of Los Angeles, California, where Reese Witherspoon bought a $12.7 million house in 2014, are spectacular.
While Witherspoon's heart may be in Nashville, her premier property is in that ridiculously wealthy neighborhood of Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles, California.
According to Variety, Witherspoon and Toth bought the then-under-construction mansion for $12.7 million in 2014. Then in 2017, Variety reported that the couple were looking to offload the property for about $20 million, although there's no other indication that it sold or that the couple is still looking for a buyer.
She's Raking in Cash from HBO
Reese Witherspoon poses with some of her fellow "Big Little Lies" cast members at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards.
The award-winning show "Big Little Lies" is a honeypot for Witherspoon, who, along with co-star Nicole Kidman, will earn about $1 million per episode for the upcoming second season.
Prior to the pay bump, Witherspoon was making $250,000 for the pilot season (Kidman made $350,000).
She's a Big Part of Apple's Move into Original Series Production
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, shown here when Witherspoon was honored with the American Cinematheque Award in 2015, will star in a show for Apple.
Witherspoon is a big part of Apple's $1 billion foray into original programming. The tech giant is reportedly set to release 10 shows in 2018, and one of them is a show starring Witherspoon.
It's a morning show drama that will co-star Jennifer Aniston. Both stars will reportedly make $1.25 million per episode, and Apple has already ordered two seasons at a 20-episode commitment. That's $25 million just for Witherspoon's acting chops.
But she's making much more than that from Apple.
She's Involved in Two More Apple Shows
Reese Witherspoon will be involved in three total productions in Apple's foray into original programming.
Just how much of that $1 billion is going to Witherspoon? Apple has also ordered one 10-episode season of a comedy show starring Kristen Wiig and produced by Witherspoon.
On top of that, Apple is also making "Are You Sleeping," a thriller drama about a podcast that reopens a murder case. So out of 10 shows, Witherspoon is directly involved with three of them.
She's CEO of Her Own Film Production Company
Reese Witherspoon's production company has developed many projects, including the 2014 movie, "Wild."
Witherspoon has always been entrepreneurial.
She started her first production company, Type A Films, back in 2000. The company produced five movies, including the entire "Legally Blonde" series, before the studio became known as Pacific Standard in 2012. Pacific Standard produced the award-winning films "Wild" and "Gone Girl."
The driving force behind her film production company is to create films with female-driven storylines.
But Starting Her Production Company Wasn't Easy
Reese Witherspoon, shown here in Seoul, South Korea, promoting one of her movies, faced challenges when developing her production company.
Starting a film production company and keeping it going is a difficult thing, especially for a young female actress. As she wrote in Glamour:
"Some people are realizing that projects with female leads are big-time money making commodities, but I've also had studio heads say to me, 'We don't want to make biopics about women,' or more simply, 'We're not interested in female-driven material.'"
"I self-funded my production company for years. I think there's this fallacy that because I've been an actor, people are going to hand me stuff. Nobody hands me anything. I'll wake up earlier; I'll stay up later. I will put my money where my mouth is. I have to read faster, and I respond quicker than other producers. I have to call and call and call executives until they say yes to my projects."
She's Also a Multimedia Producer
Reese Witherspoon's multimedia production company, Hello Sunshine, focuses on non-film productions, including podcasts and other digital content.
Not one to be constrained to just film, Witherspoon launched the multimedia production company, Hello Sunshine.
The driving force behind Hello Sunshine is the same as Witherspoon's film production ideals, only instead of focusing on film, it branches out into television, podcasts and other digital content.
Another snippet from her article in Glamour:
"Women directors, writers, and producers still face considerable challenges just getting hired in the first place. Only about one in four people working in those roles in TV are women; in film it's even worse — 17 percent. This is what I'm really trying to change."

#150 Graham Hodgetts: Conversations in Quarantine-From Bomb Shelters to Quarantine
Paul, I am really excited to introduce our listeners to my friend, and philanthropic colleague, Graham Hodgetts. Graham's possesses an impressive resume as a successful engineer, scientist, entrepreneur, and devoted philanthropist. His Masters Degree in Engineering was earned from Crayton Tech in the UK, where Graham was born.
Now, I first met Graham in 2017 in Uganda where his company was drilling water wells for Wells of Life, the NGO I work with. Graham is the co-founder and president of a company named CEED, an acronym for Christian East African and Equatorial Economic Development Trust.
CEED, headquartered in Pittsburg, PA, operates in East Africa, largely in Uganda, but now expanding to Kenya. The company not only drills water wells as well as manages a 45 acre coffee farm. CEED has drilled more than 200 wells for Wells of Life. But they have drilled more than 350 wells in total serving up to 300,000 residents in rural communities of Africa.
In addition to the above, Graham holds 22 patents and has taken 36 short mission trips to Uganda since 1999. But even more important, like most successful businessmen, I think Graham might have married over his head. Because… his wife, Eileen Enwright Hodgetts, is the author of 27 books on Goodreads and her British murder mystery, Air Raid, was named Best Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews.
Well, believe me, I have no doubt that Graham Hodgetts will entertain, educate and inspire us all.
You can reach Graham by email at grahamhodgetts1940@gmail.com

97% of civil servants want work from home option in future – survey
Union poll signals "permanent shift in attitudes to working practices"
Most civil servants have been working at home during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ben Birchall/PA Wire/PA Images
The vast majority of civil servants want to have the option of working from home after the coronavirus crisis ends, a survey has revealed.
Of nearly 2,400 officials polled by the FDA trade union at the end of last year, 97% said they would like the option of working from home in future.
The vast majority of civil servants have been working from home either since the first March lockdown came into force, or for part of that time – including 97% of those who responded to the FDA survey.
Union members said remote working has affected them in different ways – with 41% saying they work more effectively from home than in the office, and 15% saying less.
Just over two-thirds said their working patterns have changed during the pandemic. Of that group, around one in three said they are starting work earlier; a similar proportion said they are working later; and the remainder said their working patterns vary.
The poll found that while almost all officials want to spend some time working remotely after they are given the all-clear to return to the workplace, only 13% of those people want to work from home all the time.
The most popular option among those favouring a flexible pattern would be to work from home for 60% of the time, or three days a week for full-time employees – with 32% choosing this option. Twenty-six percent said they would like to work from home four out of five days, and 20% for two days a week. Just 9% said they want one day a week at home.
The poll also revealed the strain the pandemic is having on civil servants, with nearly three-quarters of respondents saying their workload has increased during the crisis. Only 4% have seen a reduced workload.
Meanwhile, seven in 10 of the union members who responded said they are working longer hours than they were before, and nine in 10 that they are using all or some of their previous commuting time to work.
But while 37% of respondents said their work-life balanced had worsened, 48% said it had improved.
"The fact that 97% of respondents would like to continue to work from home at least some of the time in future shows there has been a permanent shift in attitudes to working practices. The FDA will therefore be using these findings to build a case for a future of working across the civil service that promotes flexibility and ensures a better work-life balance for all our members."
The survey results signal that there has been a "permanent shift in attitudes to working practices", FDA assistant general secretary Lucille Thirlby said.
She added: "The pandemic has clearly exacerbated problems in departments around the working of excessive hours, and it is deeply worrying that just over half of respondents feel that their mental wellbeing has suffered since March. Clearly, departments must do more to ensure staff are properly supported while working remotely."
Thirlby said the union will use the findings to build a case for more flexible working across the civil service.
Writing for CSW, the union's general secretary, Dave Penman, said: "Clarity and meaningful engagement will be needed to harness the benefits for employers and employees and this is work that needs to start now as we look more hopefully towards the second half of 2021. Our survey makes it clear that there is a huge demand for greater flexible working.
"Making this a reality is inevitably going to shape a large part of the union and employers' agenda over the coming months and years."
Responding to the findings, a government spokesperson said the civil service is "committed to flexible working and it has long been the case that staff are able to work remotely if they need to".

Kebbi and Sokoto: Yes We Can!
The Chanchaga Orthopaedic Workshop in Minna, Niger State is one of the few orthopaedic workshops in Nigeria. It produces mobility devices for people with leprosy-related impairments such as prosthetic limbs and moulded shoes, and distributes other devices such as crutches, wheelchairs and protective footwear. The project is supporting the workshop to become a more sustainable social enterprise, continuing to serve people affected by leprosy for free, but also increasing its customer base to include other people with disabilities and providing a wider range of quality orthopaedic services and products.
This is a wide-ranging project focusing on advocacy, health and livelihoods is in the State of Kogi. To protect rights of women and children, the project is appointing community-based ombudsmen to mediate in abuse cases. A local disabled people's organisation is also being helped to set up a committee to investigate violations of disabled persons' rights. The project empowers people affected by leprosy by providing adult literacy classes. Health issues are being addressed by building latrines and holding community discussions on sanitation and HIV/AIDS. To develop livelihoods, the project is setting up cooperative groups, and providing vocational and book-keeping training.
This project is refurbishing and equipping a referral hospital and a primary health centre in Kwara State. Health personnel (including community volunteers and birth attendants) are being trained in leprosy, malaria and maternal health. The project is also supporting livelihood development through arranging vocational training for people affected by leprosy and providing equipment for income-generating activities. This project funded construction of a new operating theatre at Chanchaga Leprosy Referral Hospital (a Government facility adjacent to TLM Nigeria's orthopaedic workshop).
Working in a number of marginalised leprosy-affected communities in northwest Nigeria, this project aims to increase government commitment to leprosy by lobbying public officials and liaising with human rights organisations. Working closely with leprosy-affected communities in this challenging, arid part of Nigeria, this project is delivering multiple benefits through drilling boreholes and tube wells. These are providing water for farming and improved hygiene, with people now growing a whole range of fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Additionally, latrine building, savings groups and radio advocacy and awareness programmes are restoring hope to people affected by leprosy.
This exciting new project aims to increase fundraising within Nigieria. It has seen TLM Nigeria build good relationships with new donors at multiple levels with money already raised from embassies, new churches and individual shoppers donating through super-market collection boxes.

San Francisco Reworks its Program for Requiring Developers to Assist With Affordable Housing
On July 18, the Board of Supervisors passed a new law that changes the affordable housing requirements relating to the construction of market rate units. The new law affects new market rate housing developments of 25 or more dwellings units and expands the amount of affordable housing that will be oriented toward the middle income wage earner. The new law is based on the authority granted by local voters to the Board of Supervisors by Proposition C to change the percentage of required affordable units approved under Prop C. The passage represents a compromise between Supervisors Ahsha Safai and London Breed, on the one hand, who proposed a lower affordable requirement and Supervisors Jane Kim and Aaron Peskin on the other hand, advocating for higher affordability levels.
Under the new law, for projects proposing 25 or more units, the affordability requirement for on site units is now 18% if the units are rental and 20% if the units are for ownership. For projects proposing 25 or more dwelling units and providing off site affordable units, the requirement is now 30% for rental projects and 33% for ownership projects.
For projects proposing 10 to 24 units, the percentage requirements did not change. The requirements for these projects are 12% if the units are on site and 20% if the units are off site, regardless of whether the affordable units are for rental or ownership. The affordability rates for on site units will be adjusted through a schedule for annual increases, including for those projects providing between 10 and 24 units.
The new law also expands eligibility for affordable units to middle income wage earners. For example, 5 percent of the below market units for ownership projects must be affordable to middle income households. A middle income household is considered a household that earns 120% to 150% of Area Median Income (AMI). The purchase price for this group must be set to be affordable to a household at a level of 130% AMI.
The law would not impact development in certain areas such as the Eastern Neighborhoods Mission Planning Area, the North of Market Residential Special Use District Subarea 1 or Subarea 2, or the SOMA Neighborhood Commercial Transit District. The reason is that affordability levels for these areas will be addressed in plans that will be developed for those areas at a later time.
Projects that have filed for environmental evaluations by certain dates in the past are eligible for lower affordable housing percentages.

Сеть финансовой безопасности () — совокупность мероприятий, обеспечивающих стабильность финансового положения на случай непредвиденных негативных событий, на черный день. Сеть финансовой безопасности может быть построена как для отдельного домохозяйства, так и для страны в целом. После мирового финансового кризиса 2008 года, страны мира начали создавать Глобальную сеть финансовой безопасности.

Происхождение термина
Термин возник от английского словосочетания Safety Net, которая означает страховочную (защитно-улавливающую) сеть, спасающую от травм и гибели при падении с высоты. В экономике активно используется словосочетание Social Safety Net — сеть социальной безопасности, означающее социальное страхование и социальную поддержку на случай потери работы, потери трудоспособности, выхода на пенсию и т.п. После финансового кризиса 2008 года термин стал активно использоваться применительно к общественным финансам. Он означает необходимость создания финансовой подушки безопасности на случай кризисов и других неблагоприятных событий. Свою собственную сеть финансовой безопасности может построить каждый человек (домохозяйство).

Личные финансы
В личных финансах сеть финансовой безопасности включает в себя планирование семейного бюджета, снижение задолженности по кредитам, формирование резервов на черный день. Кроме того, следует осуществлять долгосрочные накопления на старость.

Глобальная сеть
Глобальная сеть финансовой безопасности – это международная система финансовых институтов, обеспечивающая финансовую поддержку странам в случае кризиса или для его предотвращения. Глобальная сеть является аналогом страхования в виде валютных, банковских или суверенных заимствований. Сеть помогает решать следующие задачи:
 финансовая помощь, предоставляемая в целях для предотвращения или профилактики финансового кризиса;
 финансовая помощь, предоставляемая в целях борьбы с кризисом или смягчения его последствий для экономики;
 помощь в разработке и проведении ответственной макроэкономической политики.

До недавнего времени главным кредитором последней инстанции в мире был Международный валютный фонд. Одной из его основных задач была финансовая помощь странам, оказавшимся в кризисной ситуации. Глобальная сеть предлагает альтернативные варианты помощи. Она предусматривает формированию национальных валютных резервов и заключение двусторонних соглашений между центральными банками об открытии своп-линий. Благодаря им обеспечивается запас ликвидности и возможность ее предоставления нуждающейся стране. Могут создаваться также региональные финансовые механизмы. Примером такого механизма может служить Евразийский банк развития, который наделен полномочиями по содействию странам-участницам в преодолении последствий глобального кризиса, обеспечение долгосрочной устойчивости их экономик, содействие интеграционным процессам в регионе. Он носит название Евразийского фонда стабилизации и развития. Его по объем составляет 8,5 млрд. долл. США.
