Practical Guidance for Caterers Preparing and Serving Gluten Free Food
Practical Guidance for Caterers Preparing…
Why do caterers need to take gluten free meals seriously?
Gluten free options on the menu is important for many reasons. People with coeliac disease are not fussy eaters. There is no cure for the disease and the only treatment is strict avoidance of gluten. Providing inclusive options on the menu also makes financial sense with an estimated 1.3 million in the UK on a gluten free diet due to coeliac disease and other medical conditions1. These people want to spend money when eating out, but caterers are missing out on an estimated £100 million pound in additional sales because there is not enough choice1. Food businesses that offer gluten free choices produced in a safe environment gain loyal customers who spend money.
What is Coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune reaction to gluten in food and affects 1% of the population in the UK. This serious digestive condition disrupts the absorption of nutrients into the body by damaging the tissue lining of the small intestine. This reaction happens when the immune system wrongly mistakes a substance found in gluten, called gliadin, as a threat2. Antibodies are produced and cause damage and inflammation to millions of villi that cover the surface of the gut. These finger-like projections are flattened, and the body is not able to digest important nutrients found in food.
Symptoms of coeliac disease can be difficult to detect and often mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Coeliac UK estimate there are 500,000 people in the UK with undiagnosed coeliac disease1. There are over 200 different symptoms of coeliac disease, but the most common is diarrhoea. Other gastrointestinal symptoms include: abdominal pain, flatulence, indigestion and constipation. Coeliac disease can also lead to fatigue, weight loss, mouth ulcers anaemia and itchy skin (dermatitis herpetiformis)2. Serious conditions, such as osteoporosis and bowel cancer, can arise if the disease if not treated.
What are the risk factors?
Coeliac disease can happen at any age, but most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 60 years with reported cases twice as high in men than women3. Factors that may increase the risk of developing coeliac disease include: genetics and existing autoimmune conditions. Coeliac disease is genetically linked and family history of the disease can increase the risk by 10% -75% (identical twins)1. People with other autoimmune conditions, such as Type 1 diabetes and thyroid disease are also more likely to have coeliac disease. Diabetes UK estimate that 10% of people with coeliac also have type 1 diabetes4.
What are the legal requirements?
The EU Food information for Consumers Regulation (1169/2011) outlines legal requirements for food manufacturers and caterers in the provision of information on gluten as allergenic ingredient and making a gluten free claim. These legal requirements are enforced in UK under the Food Information Regulations 2014.
Food businesses must provide accurate, visible and verifiable information on 14 allergenic ingredients, including gluten. This information is clearly communicated within the ingredients list on prepacked foods or provided written or verbally for food sold loose or direct sale. Caterers must also clearly signpost information where information is not written and upfront.
Under legislation, the phrase 'gluten-free' can only be applied to food which contains less than 20 parts per million or 20 mg/kg. Manufacturers and Caterers must demonstrate when tested that products do not exceed this set limit. Due to the high risk of gluten cross contamination it may not be possible for caterers to claim foods are 'gluten-free'. This risk can be significantly reduced when appropriate controls and training are in place. This viewpoint is validated by a project commission by Coeliac UK5. They concluded that 95% of samples taken from catering establishments producing gluten free meals were in-line with the legal threshold.
Caterers must also not include contradictory disclaimers on menus, such as 'no gluten-containing ingredients' (NGCI) or 'may contain gluten due to cross contamination'. Although, food businesses can NGCI in a menu where all items listed do not contain gluten containing ingredients6.
A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm. Hazards can occur due to presence of undeclared gluten in prepacked and loose products, cross contamination and poor communication between the customer and persons preparing and serving food or drink.
Undeclared gluten in meals produced on site can happen when substitute prepacked products are not checked during delivery or if a recipe specification is not followed correctly. The allergenic matrix may also be misleading due to a failure to verify its accuracy.
There are five ways in which cross contamination can occur: spillages, ineffective cleaning procedures, shared equipment, airborne contaminants and poor personal hygiene. Shared equipment that has not been cleaned effectively can transfer gluten residue to gluten free foods. Airborne contamination can arise when dust particles containing gluten travel through the air and contaminate gluten free foods. This can occur during cooking in a convector oven or close proximity to where flour is being handled. Contamination can occur when using the same oil or water used previously to cook foods containing gluten. The hands are the most common vehicle for transferring contaminants onto food. Food handlers not washing hands before preparing gluten free food is a significant risk.
Poor communication between the customer and persons preparing and serving the meal is a real problem. A well-known high street restaurant chain was fined £8,000 and ordered to pay £9,000 in legal costs when a customer with coeliac disease fell ill, after unknowingly eating pasta containing gluten. The customer had asked restaurant staff three times if the pasta contained gluten, but still there was a mistake in the order.
Practical control measures
A control measure is activity or action designed to prevent, eliminate or reduce a hazard to an acceptable level. Coeliac UK and Food Standards Agency have produced an excellent guide with practical controls to reduce the risk of undeclared gluten in food throughout the food chain. The guide can be downloaded from the Coeliac UK website7. Testing for gluten in gluten free meals will provide evidence that controls in place are effective and meet legal requirements. But control measures will only work in practice when food handlers understand the procedures and follow them. Compliance with procedures can be verified through risk-based auditing.

Blake Mills - Heigh Ho
Format Vinyl CD
Vinyl - Sold Out CD - Sold Out
Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 album from the California-based singer/songwriter. Recorded in Los Angeles at the legendary Ocean Way studios in a room built for Frank Sinatra and used by everyone from Bob Dylan to Ray Charles, Mills created an album that references a range of genres without really belonging to any. To that end, Mills asked several of his musical heroes - including Jim Keltner, Don Was, Jon Brion, Benmont Tench, Mike Elizondo, and Fiona Apple to collaborate on what would become HEIGH HO. "Blake arranged the music the way that CÈzanne would've filled a canvas," Don Was notes of his experience playing in Blake's band. "He is a mind-blowingly great artist with the type of deep vision that is the hallmark of true genius. It's so inspiring for musicians to play with a cat like that! If he asked US to play in orange, we wanted to give him a shade that burned so brightly as to blind the unsuspecting."

Q: Selecting all rows if another record in another table does not exist I have  a table like so that stores private messages between players
id              int(11)
userid          int(11)
type            int(1)
global          tinyint(1)
subject         varchar(55)
content         text
receiver_id     int(11)
allianceID      int(11)
create_date     datetime
read_date       datetime

Now when a user chooses to delete a message from their inbox, I don't actually want to delete the message from the database. I have a separate table called messages_hidden with the following structure
userid      int(11)
message_id  int(11)

This messages_hidden table stores their userid and the corresponding message that they "deleted" from their inbox so it no longer shows up.
Now here is my query that, upon login, extracts all their messages from the database to display to them (parts of the query have been snipped due to length).
SELECT
        msg.id,msg.type, msg.subject, msg.content, DATE_FORMAT(msg.create_date, '%b %D, %Y') as create_date,
        IF(read_date > create_date, 1, 0) AS hasRead, sender.id AS sender_id, sender.username AS sender_username, receiver.id AS receiver_id, receiver.username AS receiver_username
FROM messages AS msg
    LEFT JOIN users AS sender ON msg.userid = sender.id
    LEFT JOIN users AS receiver ON msg.receiver_id = receiver.id
WHERE (msg.receiver_id = ? OR msg.userid = ? OR msg.global = 1) ORDER BY create_date DESC

This query currently works fine, but how do I join messages_hidden and only extract messages that have not been "deleted" or hidden yet by the user?
I hope I explained my problem well enough. If you are unclear about a certain part of my question, please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Henry Cavill in an interview with Trome for 'Enola Holmes 2': "I would love to visit Peru"
His career is marked by versatility. british actor Henry Cavill, who a few days ago announced his return as the 'Man of Steel', premieres 'Enola Holmes 2′, his most recent film for Netflix in which he once again plays the always intuitive 'Sherlock Holmes' alongside the actress from the 'Stranger Things' saga, Millie Bobby Brown.
More information: Millie Bobby Brown compared friendship with Henry Cavill and that of his companions of 'Stranger Things'
For 4 minutes and through a connection via Zoom from the United States, Trome had the opportunity to talk with Henry Cavill, who gave details of his return as the famous detective and, at the same time, expressed his desire to visit Peru in the near future. trip.
In this new tape, Henry Cavill shows a more sentimental facet of Sherlock, rarely reflected in series and movies, due to the intimate connection he has with his sister Enola (Brown).
"My version of Sherlock is different from the other versions of Sherlock in that he exists in a universe where Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) exists and that creates a unique circumstance in that there's an emotional connection (…) their sibling connection is totally unique within this universe. In the first film he was more of a guide, he had more wisdom as an older brother and in the second, the roles are reversed. This is a situation where Enola is the one guiding Sherlock and teaching him."tells Trome.

SUPERHERO, WITCH AND DETECTIVE
His iconic roles earned him great recognition in the entertainment industry. He went from being Superman to playing a witcher in the series 'The Witcher' and now repeat the dish again in the Netflix detective tape. What other character could you embody?
"Oh I do not know. I mean there are so many options out there. I think maybe it could be fun to do some science fiction, we'll see"reply.
HIS RETURN AS SUPERMAN
Some days ago, Henry Cavill thrilled fans of the DC universe by announcing that he would put on the red cape again to continue playing the Kryptonian superhero. The enthusiasm grew even more when Zack Snyder, the famous director behind 'Justice League' indicated that it will be an honor to work with him soon. Is the project really confirmed?
"It is very early at this time (to confirm that he will work with Zack Snyder again), there is no way to confirm anything. It's very early and there are still a lot of discussions to have with the studio and all the producers and it's too early."pointed out the British actor.

YOUR WISHES TO KNOW PERU
Before ending the interview, Henry Cavill expressed his desire to get to know our country in a future opportunity -hopefully- not so far away.
"I would love to visit Peru, yes, And it's all about having time, so if I ever have time to travel, I'll go see them.", ends.

In general, losing weight by following a healthy, nutritious diet — such as the Mayo Clinic Diet — can reduce your risk of weight-related health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. If you already have any of these conditions, they may be improved dramatically if you lose weight, regardless of the diet plan you follow.
The Mayo Clinic Diet provides practical and realistic ideas for including more physical activity and exercise throughout your day — as well as finding a plan that works for you. The diet recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and even more exercise for further health benefits and weight loss. The diet also emphasizes moving more throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of an elevator.
Tantra is a range of esoteric traditions that began to arise in India no later than the 5th century CE.[181][note 17] George Samuel states, "Tantra" is a contested term, but may be considered as a school whose practices appeared in mostly complete form in Buddhist and Hindu texts by about 10th century CE.[183] Tantric yoga developed complex visualizations which included meditation on the body as a microcosm of the cosmos. They included also the use of mantras, pranayama, and the manipulation of the subtle body, including its nadis and cakras. These teachings on cakras and Kundalini would become central to later forms of Indian Yoga.[184]
In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.[1] The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related). Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.
Sandow was so successful at flexing and posing his physique that he later created several businesses around his fame, and was among the first to market products branded with his name. He was credited with inventing and selling the first exercise equipment for the masses: machined dumbbells, spring pulleys, and tension bands. Even his image was sold by the thousands in "cabinet cards" and other prints. Sandow was a perfect "Gracilian", a standard of ideal body proportions close to those of ancient Greek and Roman statues. Men's physiques were then judged by how closely they matched these proportions.
^ Andrew J. Nicholson (2013). Unifying Hinduism: Philosophy and Identity in Indian Intellectual History. Columbia University Press. p. 26. ISBN 978-0-231-14987-7., Quote: "From a historical perspective, the Brahmasutras are best understood as a group of sutras composed by multiple authors over the course of hundreds of years, most likely composed in its current form between 400 and 450 BCE."
Various yogic groups had become prominent in Punjab in the 15th and 16th century, when Sikhism was in its nascent stage. Compositions of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, describe many dialogues he had with Jogis, a Hindu community which practiced yoga. Guru Nanak rejected the austerities, rites and rituals connected with Hatha Yoga. He propounded the path of Sahaja yoga or Nama yoga (meditation on the name) instead.[204] The Guru Granth Sahib states:
The earliest extant systematic account of yoga and a bridge from the earlier Vedic uses of the term is found in the Hindu Katha Upanisad (Ku), a scripture dating from about the third century BCE[…] [I]t describes the hierarchy of mind-body constituents—the senses, mind, intellect, etc.—that comprise the foundational categories of Sāmkhya philosophy, whose metaphysical system grounds the yoga of the Yogasutras, Bhagavad Gita, and other texts and schools (Ku3.10–11; 6.7–8).[101]
An influential text which teaches yoga from an Advaita perspective of nondualistic idealism is the Yoga-Vāsiṣṭha.[263] This work uses numerous short stories and anecdotes to illustrate its main ideas. It teaches seven stages or bhumis of yogic practice. It was a major reference for medieval Advaita Vedanta yoga scholars and before the 12th century, it was one of the most popular texts on Hindu yoga.[264]
In recent years, the related areas of fitness and figure competition have increased in popularity, surpassing that of female bodybuilding, and have provided an alternative for women who choose not to develop the level of muscularity necessary for bodybuilding. McLish would closely resemble what is thought of today as a fitness and figure competitor, instead of what is now considered a female bodybuilder. Fitness competitions also have a gymnastic element to them. A study by the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine found that female bodybuilders who are taking anabolic steroids are more likely to have qualified for substance dependence disorder, to have been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness, or to have a history of sexual abuse.[14]
Intensive weight training causes micro-tears to the muscles being trained; this is generally known as microtrauma. These micro-tears in the muscle contribute to the soreness felt after exercise, called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It is the repair of these micro-traumas that results in muscle growth. Normally, this soreness becomes most apparent a day or two after a workout. However, as muscles become adapted to the exercises, soreness tends to decrease.[22]
Site enhancement oil, often called "santol" or "synthol" (no relation to the Synthol mouthwash brand), refers to oils injected into muscles to increase the size or change the shape. Some bodybuilders, particularly at the professional level, inject their muscles with such mixtures to mimic the appearance of developed muscle where it may otherwise be disproportionate or lacking.[55] This is known as "fluffing".[56][57] Synthol is 85% oil, 7.5% lidocaine, and 7.5% alcohol.[56] It is not restricted, and many brands are available on the Internet.[58] The use of injected oil to enhance muscle appearance is common among bodybuilders,[59][60] despite the fact that synthol can cause pulmonary embolisms, nerve damage, infections, sclerosing lipogranuloma,[61] stroke,[56] and the formation of oil-filled granulomas, cysts or ulcers in the muscle.[60][62][63] Rare cases might require surgical intervention to avoid further damage to the muscle and/or to prevent loss of life.[64]
According to Geoffrey Samuel, our "best evidence to date" suggests that yogic practices "developed in the same ascetic circles as the early śramaṇa movements (Buddhists, Jainas and Ajivikas), probably in around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE." This occurred during what is called the 'Second Urbanisation' period.[8] According to Mallinson and Singleton, these traditions were the first to use psychophysical techniques, mainly known as dhyana and tapas. but later described as yoga, to strive for the goal of liberation (moksha, nirvana) from samsara (the round of rebirth).[78]


On this trip, I visited Zambia between 19-Aug-2017 and 8-Sep-2017 and I travelled with 1 other person.
The trip was all we expected it to be and more. The choice of lodges was excellent and that has to be down to the experience of Expert Africa.
Extending our stay in some of the lodges was the correct decision as it allowed us to relax rather than feel we were always on the move.
We would definitely use ExpertAfrica again if we visited Africa again.


Don't let the holidays be a time when your healthy eating habits stop. Holiday cooking can still be tasty and healthy! This holiday season, start a tradition of making your holiday recipes healthier through simple substitutions. You'll hardly notice you're eating well, and you give yourself better odds of still looking and feeling great come January.
Mashed potato dishes are high in carbs and most are high in calories thanks to added cream and butter. Substitute cauliflower for the potatoes for a similar taste and texture that's low in calories and high in nutrition. If you don't want to go entirely potato-free, replace a third of the potatoes in your favorite recipe with cauliflower.
Use applesauce in place of sugar in baked goods such as cookies, cakes and sweet breads. Applesauce has more sweetening power than sugar and far fewer calories. One cup of sugar contains more than 700 calories, while an equal amount of applesauce has only 100. In addition, applesauce also gives you vitamins, minerals and fiber that refined sugar does not.
The traditional green bean casserole recipe can pack as much as 600 calories and 30 grams of fat into a one-cup serving. Make this holiday staple healthier by using fresh green beans that are not overcooked (overcooking reduces the fiber content). Try lower-sodium soup and trade the whole milk or cream for skim milk. Try this Healthy Green Bean Casserole recipe from EatingWell magazine.
Substitute whole-grain flour, pasta and breads for those made from refined white flour. Replacing white bread with whole grains will help increase your fiber, vitamin, mineral and protein intake, and keep you feeling full for a longer period of time.
Limit alcohol consumption to one serving per occasion. Calories from alcoholic beverages can add up and encourage you to eat more than if you weren't drinking. Have a favorite drink or two, then switch to sparkling water. Drink responsibly.
This holiday season, your local RediClinic is here to help with a wide range of healthcare services. If you overindulge, turn to us to help relieve your digestive issues. Feeling an itchy throat? Our board-certified clinicians can diagnose your illness and prescribe medications as appropriate. And before you join with coworkers, friends and family to celebrate the season, make sure you're protected by getting a flu shot!
Our patients enjoy the convenience of making an online appointment and being seen the same day or next day, seven days a week. We're Redi when you need us this holiday season!

ADeC is Proud to Announce a Partnership with The Dagga Party
by Nathaniel Denton Bricknell | Mar 27, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
TO: Print and Electronic Media Houses
FROM: Office of the Secretary General, ADeC
SUBJECT: ADeC is proud to announce a partnership with the Dagga Party
DATE: Tuesday, March 26th, 2019
EMBARGO: To release immediately
The full legalisation of cannabis for recreational, commercial and medicinal use has always been a core policy priority of ADeC. Cannabis legalisation in South Africa not only provides the opportunity to remove arbitrary criminal prosecution of people consuming a by all account's safe substance, but also provides an opportunity for massive economic development and health benefits.
With this in mind, ADeC and the Dagga Party have been in discussions on partnering on our shared vision for bringing about full cannabis legalisation in South Africa.
We are proud to officially announce today that the Dagga Party and ADeC will be standing as one for the 2019 South African General election and working together to bring about this critical policy priority.
The Dagga Party has more than a decade's worth of experience fighting for the right to consume and produce cannabis in South Africa, and more than that, they are a signatory to the progressive Global Green Charter. The Global Green Charter is a global policy document that outlines socially just and progressive policy that will lead to a world that is better for all that live in it, through the pursuit of renewable energy, nonviolence, progressive economic policies, and democratic freedoms.
One of the first goals of this new partnership is to ensure that all South Africans fighting for the legalisation of cannabis unite and ensure a meaningful policy is introduced and adopted in parliament. It is critical that this policy will not only fully legalise cannabis for recreational, medicinal and commercial purposes, but also ensure that the economic benefits are not limited to a few powerful well-connected individuals, and instead available to every South African.
Over the coming week, we will be going further into how this partnership between our two organisations will work, and why now is the best opportunity for South Africa to vote for the legalisation of cannabis, and a progressive vision for the future.

What Does Kim Jong-un Want?
By this point, there is little need to state that President Donald Trump was completely out-negotiated by Kim Jong-un. Trump got little in return other than a rerun of statements already made in 1992 and 2005, except in even weaker terms, including a vague commitment to denuclearisation. The president, on the other hand, was played like a fiddle. This has been extensively analysed.
What I think is worth looking into, however, is viewing the Singapore summit and Kim Jong-un's actions independently of the deal he made with Trump. How serious is Kim about a new US-North Korea relationship? Is there any way at all that we can expect him to concede something on denuclearisation? What lies ahead?
The answer to these questions depend on how seriously we take the claim that Kim Jong-un wants to pursue economic development. Kim cannot pursue economic development without denuclearising- that much is a fact. Unless he manages to somehow play Trump even further, the crippling sanctions that the United States has imposed on Kim are likely to remain. So only if Kim is serious about the economy would he be willing to even go on the road towards giving up his nukes.
An interesting key to this may come from how the Singapore summit was covered in the North Korean state media.
Simply extraordinary: North Korea's main newspaper today features color photos of Kim Jong Un walking around Singapore, a breathtaking, modern city with an electricity supply that North Koreans can only dream about. Plus crowds taking photos of the "Respected Leader" pic.twitter.com/ejtCuw8sdv
— Anna Fifield (@annafifield) June 11, 2018
This is hugely interesting. Yes, Kim Jong-un wanted to display the fact that he is now a global statesman, and the Singapore summit was indeed the propaganda coup that he clearly wanted. But there was no need for the North Korean state mouthpiece to cover Kim's late night stroll around Singapore- and certainly no need for Kim to plaster pictures of massive Singaporean skyscrapers for his countrymen, too accustomed to Pyongyang's nighttime power cuts, to see.
For a country that has desperately sought to shut down any information flowing into the country, and cover up the fact that North Korea is so impoverished compared to all its neighbours, these pictures must be damning to how North Korea's citizens view their own country's economic progress.
In addition, the state mouthpiece stated:
Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, toured various places of Singapore on June 11. Going round the Great Flower Garden, one of the prides of Singapore, Sky Park located on the roof of the world-famous Marina Bay Sands building and Singapore Port, he learnt about the social and economic development of the Republic of Singapore…[he] is going to learn a lot from the good knowledge and experience of Singapore in various fields in the future.
This is also rather unprecedented: Kim saying that he wants to learn from a foreign country. So much for the idea of juche– self reliance! If Kim Jong-un is trying to play the expectations game, using Singapore as a benchmark will be giving high hopes for North Koreans.
Also interesting is a comparison with Deng Xiaoping: "The social order in Singapore is quite good. They run things strictly, and we should borrow from their experiences, and run things even better than they do."
Singapore is not an aberration. Looking back at the past year reveals that this is part of a broader pattern: Kim's emphasis on economic development. At the start of the year, in his New Year's address, Kim announced that now that North Korea has become a nuclear power, it was time to turn its attention fully to its ties with South Korea and the economy- a remark that in retrospect does not seem to have been given enough attention. It was reported that Kim filmed a video of himself crying over the fact that he could not develop the economy, and while this footage has yet to emerge, it would be big if true.
Ultimately, pursuing economic development is also a matter of self-interest for Kim, leaving aside all matters of personal feelings and passions. Reuters reported:
A 2016 report titled "A Study on the Party-Military Relations of the Kim Jong Un Regime," commissioned by the South Korean Ministry of Unification, noted that the DPRK military might seek a "military-centric government" or intervene to reshape the country's struggling economy if the Kim leadership failed to provide economic relief (partially from international sanctions). In February 2018, South Korea's National Intelligence Service briefed the national legislature that that "discontent was brewing" in the DPRK military.
I've argued before that Kim Jong-un is not irrational; indeed, if the events of the past year has proved anything, he is supremely smart and cunning. He probably understands that his best chance of dying a natural death in power is to ensure that there is no uprising from North Korea's people or its powerful military; in the end, even the North Korean dictator may need to do something to fulfil his social contract. His best bet to do so is through economic development. Even if Kim does not want- or is not capable of- a full Chinese-style opening of the country, he must know that he can surely do much better.
So what does Kim desperately need? The sanctions must be lifted. The only method in which this can be done, bar an independent breakthrough with China, is through denuclearisation.
It's easy for him to make this calculation. Do I want to live to old age? Yes. Will the current path of being a nuclear hermit state with starving citizens maximise my chances of doing so? Probably not.
Trump may not have gained the maximum advantage that he could have from his summit in Singapore, but he also made it clear that Singapore was only the start of a process. At the very least, the summit greatly decreased chances of a nuclear war and can serve at the beginning of more dialogue between all the parties. But Trump and his team can do better in Round 2. They must capitalise on the understanding that Kim does not hold all the cards, and that his regime has economic interests that it has already raised its peoples' expectations for, not least through the Singaporean summit.
It was often said that Trump cannot be seen to fail at the summit. But in the long run, Kim cannot be seen to fail for his people, now that he has raised the stakes. For Trump, his poll numbers and ego may have taken a hit, but if Kim is unable to deliver greater prosperity, his regime and even life will be on the line.
Can Trump fully use this to his advantage? We do not know. President Trump's first match with Kim was largely a failure. But since this is not the end, let's hope that for once in his presidency, the avowed master dealmaker can bring to the forefront his art of the deal. World peace depends on it.

2015 (April 5, 2016)
IFC Midnight (Shout!/Scream Factory)
Film/Program Grade: D+
Video Grade: A
Audio Grade: A
Extras Grade: D-
The frenetic and colorful opening credit sequence lets you know, right up front, what you're in for with #Horror. The directorial debut of Tara Subkoff, the movie had a limited theatrical and VOD release before being picked up by Scream Factory. It tells the story of a group of twelve year old girls who, during a sleepover, find themselves in the middle of a social media revenge plot being carried out by someone who wants to murder them, but not before they tear each other down.
What, on the surface, appears to be an old-fashioned slasher of sorts winds up being an amalgam of different things. #Horror definitely has something on its mind, but it's too chaotic to know exactly what that is. Without getting into spoiler territory, the movie tries way too hard to have a social commentary, but without characters worth latching onto. The aforementioned young women flip-flop constantly as characters, bullying each other to the point of crying one minute and then acting sorrowful and tender to each other the next. Sure, people can be inconsistent, but trying to replicate that in a movie seems ill-advised. At the same time, the movie attempts to have an over-the-top visual style, reminiscent of Edgar Wright, but without anything else to back it up.
While #Horror shows the promise of originality at first glance, it fails in nearly every possible way. Yet, I still can't help but feel that there's something here for modern horror fans to embrace, if they don't expect too much from the film. There are some beautiful locations on display and being set during the winter makes the movie infinitely more interesting to look at. Unfortunately, it's still a bit of a chore to sit through.
The Blu-ray presentation itself contains a beautiful, detail-soaked transfer with colors that really pop. Strong detail is abundant, particularly in tighter shots, and shadow detail is strong. Blacks are quite deep, and both contrast and brightness levels are spot on. At times, there's some noticeable flicker, but it tends to blend into the fabric of the presentation. For the audio, there are two options: English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD. The 5.1 track features strong, clear dialogue, as well as good use of sound effects. Surround activity isn't abundant, but there's some nice ambience and decent speaker-to-speaker movement at times. There's even some pretty good LFE. Subtitles are also available in English and Spanish. Unfortunately, the only extra is the movie's trailer.
The concept of bullying in horror movies, or even movies about bullying, can be captivating and worth exploring, but not here. I would have been a little happier with less frenetic images, but that may just be the old man in me wanting something a little more slow burn out of a story like this. Either way, #Horror definitely isn't be for everyone... if indeed it is for anybody.

There is a definite type of person that comes out on the other side of the Taoist Enlightenment process. Spiritual enlightenment is not a product of what you say or what you believe. These are surface things imposed upon the underlying human–—an act called striving in most enlightenment literature.
The person that comes through the mentoring process is changed fundamentally. His or her mind functions differently and the energetic structure of the person is different. These changes can be demonstrated, tested, and observed.
The first quality of the changed, enlightened person is something called the "hybrid mind" within the 4 Ascendant Tradition.
Yes, I know this sounds somewhat scifi, but the word hybrid really means combined. So the hybrid mind is the mind that has combined features.
Normally a person favors 1 of three types of thinking: intellectual, emotional, and intuitive.
The intellectual person uses intellectual thought, and some form of reason to justify action. The emotional person makes decisions based on emotional value and response, and uses emotion to justify actions. The intuitive person uses direct insight and a sense of the future to justify actions.
You may think that you are some combination of these factors, but that is highly unlikely.
The majority of the population is about 98% one element and 2% another element. The third element is completely quashed and does not influence action in any significant way.
One of the reasons that conflict exists among humans is because of this strong polarization of the mind. It is hard for the intellectual to understand the emotional (and vice versa), primarily because the systems use different information and different values to make decisions. Of course, both the intellectual and emotional minds think that the intuitive is crazy, simply because of the rarity of true intuitive minds within the human population.
These divisions exist because of the Social Mind.
As a person becomes enlightened, he or she starts receiving information from all three mental positions. This leads to insanity for some and simple chaos for others. However, it is the natural ability of a human to have information flowing from the 3 different positions.
One can not be enlightened, or would be the equivalent of being enlightened and retarded, without being able to mix the three information sources.
As with most information sources, a teacher is needed to learn how to manage and use the information flow. Without one, you need a great deal of luck or an enormous tolerance for pain while you figure things out. The risk of insanity is also reduced dramatically.
What gradually emerges from skilled Taoist training is the hybrid mind. This mind can gather information from three sources, mix it, value it, and then act upon the information that is provided.
The ability to act on the information directly is also a facet of the hybrid, because the will power it takes to control the information is the same will power it takes to make effective choices.
P.S. Do you want personal, direct instruction on the Taoist Spiritual Path?

Bitcoin Falls Back to $33,000, as Dollar Rises and Temperatures Fall From Last Weeks Capitol Riot
The crypto-currency may have risen as the US seemed in a near insurrection on January 6th.
Crypto prices on Coinbase, 7:40 pm PST Sunday night Jan. 10, 2021
1/10/21: Bitcoin sank to a low of $32,500 per bitcoin, in a sudden 20% overnight decline. The world's first crypto-currency (symbol BTC), could fall all the way back to 23,000 which is where it started this week's rally. The crypto-currency may have risen as the US seemed in a near insurrection on January 6th.
Ripple signed a deal with the Saudi National Bank even as the US SEC filed a lawsuit against them.
Bloomberg news reports that just 40 billionaire bitcoin holders, own 95% of the crypto-currency bitcoin. This could limit the damage on the downside, and may present a buying opportunity for retail investors.
Other crypto-currencies were also down. Ripple, which has fallen 70% in recent weeks after the SEC sued the company behind Ripple, has fallen 20% further this evening. Coinbase plans to discontinue Crypto trading on their platform, on January 21, 2021.
Separately, Reuters reports that the national bank of Saudi Arabia has announced a deal with Ripple's crypto company, to help the Kingdom's banks settle payments using blockchain. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-saudi-cenbank-currency-idUSKCN1FZ0LD
Ripple (XRP) was still down 15% on the day.

The trains are in chaos after a points failure, the bus is uncomfortably crowded and, typically, it's raining. This was the morning that I went to meet Jennifer Davidson, MD and founder at Sleek Events in West London.
After the drudgery of commuter life, the responsibility to brighten my day lay firmly at Davidson's door. As someone with a fondness for architecture, things get off to the good start. Sleek's Richmond office is in a quaint courtyard of Victorian mews. A light and airy office space is populated by a handful of smiling events professionals.
Davidson smiles and invites me into the meeting room. She speaks with a congenial manner, and instantly you can tell that she knows the business.
How did she end up in the events industry? "I studied business studies in German and Spanish, with no real element of events, but of course plenty of business insight," she says.
Clearly the buzzing noise was quite loud as Davidson went the whole nine yards and set up her own agency. It can be a risk, but I see no signs of self-doubt on her face. How did Sleek come about? "It was a very organic process to be honest," Davidson says calmly. "I was really encouraged by the team around me, mainly freelancers, who all said it could definitely work. It sort of happened before we'd even planned it.
With those kinds of figures being bandied around, one would expect to see a huge workforce beavering away. Certainly more than the number I counted when I arrived. Not so, as Davidson explains: "The business model here is a flat structure, I'm not a big believer in complex hierarchy. I wouldn't expect anyone in my team to do anything that I wouldn't do, although everyone has their own responsibilities. When we're on site everyone rolls their sleeves up and mucks in, as we're all part of the same team.
"We have three personnel who work part time and who assist me operationally and help run the company: a bookkeeper, office manager, and a PA.
So what, then, makes Sleek, sleek; what stands them apart from other agencies?
"I'd say it is our personal approach," says Davidson. "We really care, all of us, and you can tell. No one here approaches it as a 9-5 job. People will ensure clients get what they need, but at the same time I'm keen to ensure everyone has a life outside of work as well. I don't expect people to be online 24/7, that's definitely not the case, but the people here are incredibly passionate about what they do. The people here care, and it is very obvious in the deliverables and in our end product.
As the interview came to an end I peered through the window to see that it was still raining. But, after experiencing Davidson's unyielding positivity, the day felt that bit brighter.

'Star Trek: Discovery' Showrunners Reveal Why the Mirror Universe Returned
And how it almost happened earlier.
Filed Under Star Trek: Discovery, Design, Spoilers & Star Trek
Long live the Empire!
By now, fans of Star Trek: Discovery know that the Mirror Universe is back in Trek canon in a big way. In the mid-season premiere, "Despite Yourself," the crew of the USS Discovery determines that they are no longer in the safe confines of a dimension where the friendly Federation exists. In fact, what they're about to experience is far worse than anything the Klingons could have thrown at them. Now, instead of fighting a war with a merciless enemy, the altruistic Starfleet crew members will have to impersonate evil versions of themselves all while being confronted with people they've met before, who are completely different in this reality than they were in the "real" timeline. On the upside, everyone is also getting some crazy new clothes.
Since its introduction in the 1967 original Star Trek episode, "Mirror, Mirror," the concept of the Mirror Universe presented an extreme answer to the questions of nature versus nurture. In Trek's Mirror Universe, anyone can become a secret asshole, no matter how nice they seem in our universe. But, unlike "Mirror, Mirror," this isn't a one-off. Discovery is stuck in the Mirror Universe for a while. And the showrunners of the series — Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts — have revealed why this was the right direction for the show, and also why it almost happened way sooner.
In October of 2016, Star Trek: Discovery's original showrunner — Bryan Fuller — stepped down. But, he threw his confidence behind Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts right away, saying on Twitter: "Riker spent 7 years of TNG unready for Captaincy, @GretchenJBerg @AaronHarberts are ready. Thrilled to see them in command of the Bridge." Since then, in addtion to producer Alex Kurtzman, Harberts and Berg have been the primary creative voice behind Discovery, helping to steer the newest Trek series into places the franchise had never gone before. But, the concept of having a huge chunk of the series take place in the infamous Mirror Universe, did originate with Byran Fuller. It was just originally going to happen much earlier.
"It actually was something that was there from the very, very beginning with Alex and Bryan. I think even maybe before we came on board," Gretchen J. Berg tells Inverse. "And it was something we wanted to do because one the main themes of the show this year is about is about self-discovery. And so it just felt like going to Mirror was somehow going to be helpful on that journey."
"The original structure of the season was going to have them go to the Mirror Universe, let's say at the end of episode four," Aaron Harberts explains. "And the Mirror Universe was going to then be a construct that then carried through the entire rest of the run of the season. But we felt it was too early to go over then because you didn't know who these people were yet. And so it was hard to introduce doppelgangers if you don't know who the prime character is."
By anchoring the rest of the new season in an alternate dimension, one in which characters can possibly be betrayed by another character at any moment, Harberts and Berg have managed to allow Star Trek: Discovery to become more similar to Game of Thrones, but with slightly more moral complexity. In impersonating her evil self, Burnham is forced to act ruthless and domineering. But, in our universe, we know Burnham was a rule breaker, one capable of mutiny. This same parallel works for Tilly, who we now know is the Captain of the ISS Discovery in the Mirror Universe. It seems impossible, and yet, we know Tilly is ambitious and has expressed a desire to become the youngest Captain in Starfleet since her very first episode. So, the question is, are you simply a collection of your actions? Or are their tendencies buried in a person that could cause them to slide on a scale closer to being a villain than a hero? Like several other classic Trek premises — from "The Enemy Within" to "Chain of Command," this twist examines human nature on a greyer scale which is actually intrinsic to the franchise. But, that doesn't mean the Mirror Universe is a cheap twist. This was planned.
"Sometimes you see in a lot of movies nowadays and TV shows, people are trying so much to twist it in a place that no one sees coming that it ends up feeling either impossible or illogical or ridiculous or just kind of like just bald-faced trying to top yourself," Harberts says. "And I think sometimes when we look at twists, we say, okay. We're going to do this reversal or this twist in the story, but we're going to execute it or have the fallout be different from what you thought."
"All of our stuff is built from scratch, but the elements of design to it and all the nods to the original series but also just updated it in a way. They're fantastic. I mean, it's like the original Trek meets Rhythm Nation. You know, it's badass." — Gretchen J. Berg
Still, for the casual viewer, the most interesting thing about heading into the Mirror Universe might just be the crazy aesthetics. Which is one more reason why the Discovery team wanted to hold back revealing the Mirror Universe. It's very difficult to produce alternate versions of sets and costumes you've already created, meaning the Discovery team had to work overtime to essentially create props, costumes and sets for two types of TV series; one good and one evil.
"The heroes of our show are the production team," Harberts says. "From costumes to props to production design, they just went for it. But they needed the time. They needed so much advance notice. I mean, you saw those Mirror Universe uniforms? Those just didn't drop out of thin air."
And now that the new Mirror Universe costumes have arrived, it looks like cosplay at future Star Trek conventions will never be the same. "They're fantastic. All of our stuff is built from scratch, but the elements of design to it and all the nods to the original series but also just updated it in a way. I mean, it's like the original Trek meets Rhythm Nation," Berg says. "You know, it's badass."
Star Trek: Discovery airs new episodes — now mostly set in the Mirror Universe — on Sunday nights at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS All Access.

Assets have a function, properties and a history. Important parameters that determine the reliability and future behavior of each asset. For these reasons it can be of vital importance to know your assets.
To enable proper asset management UVS offers software to record and qualify assets by means of smartphone or tablet and a SaaS solution to manage all your assets.
The next step to take is marking and unification of assets so they will be uniformly referred to and automatically recognized by means of barcode, QR or RFID tag. This approach will eliminate losses in communication but also enables connecting information directly to assets and make this information available without searching.
Ones assets are identified and marked all documents, interventions and scheduling can be related to the asset. An autonomically mechanism for self-learning and predictive maintenance is created.
Simple activities and supporting software will create the basis for predictive maintenance and an optimization of asset usage and reliability.
In traditionally managed maintenance departments 60% of spare part stock is misaligned, meaning that qualities of spares are either to small or to big, types of stock items do not match the demand and risk, stock items degrade before usage.
These sad statistics are not necessary when assets and there degradation are known.
OpenICM automatically calculates spare requirements based on past and present risks, asset degradation, logistical lead times and costs.

FCB Health's ICC Rebrands to FCBCURE in U.S.
Four months after bringing in new ICC management, Dana Maiman, CEO of FCB Health, announced today that ICC has rebranded and will now be known as FCBCURE.
Beyond the obvious connotations for a healthcare agency, Maiman said the name FCBCURE is meant to have a variety of meanings. The agency plans to be the cure for what typically plagues the healthcare advertising industry today – lack of insights, bad ideas, poorly served clients, minimal transparency between clients and agencies, and tired, boring agency thinking.
FCBCURE's management will be led by co-Managing Directors Tom Millar and Christine Finamore, who started with ICC in June and September, respectively. They will guide a staff of 120 as they seek to fill an additional 40 open positions.

What Are "wobblers" in California Criminal Law?
Like any other profession, the world of criminal law has its own lingo. Go into any criminal lawyers office, any courtroom and you'll hear the word "wobbler" thrown around quite a bit. So what is it?
So how does the prosecutor decide whether to file a charge as a felony or a misdemeanor? It depends on the severity of the alleged conduct and the defendant's criminal history. For example, if a guy with no criminal record or arrests is accused of hitting is girlfriend and it leaves a small bruise or other minor injury, that may very well be charged as a misdemeanor. If someone with a series of arrests or prior convictions is accused of the same thing, even if the priors are unrelated to the current charge, a felony may be filed. Along those lines, if the injury is more serious, it may be filed as a felony even if the injury is not severe. It also largely depends on the policies of the individual prosecutor's office. Even within the same county, each prosecutor's office in each courthouse has a different policy.
The other thing to know about wobblers is that even if the case if filed as a felony, it gives your attorney some room to try and reduce the charge to a misdemeanor – either at a preliminary hearing or through negotiating with the DA. Even if someone is convicted of a felony, if the charge is a wobbler, they may be eligible for the case to be reduced to a misdemeanor through the expungement process.

If you have recently been arrested, you've undoubtedly been flooded with mail from attorneys seeking your business. You may find this irritating and embarrassing, and you may also feel like it is an invasion of privacy (especially if you are trying to keep your arrest secret from friends or family). Frankly, we find this sort of direct mail marketing distasteful. We have never sent jail mail and don't plan to.
Clients frequently ask us if there is any way to stop the deluge of this "jail mail" from attorneys whom they have never heard of and have no intention of hiring. The simple answer to the question is "No", you can't stop a criminal defense lawyer from sending unsolicited mail. Why is this?
To start with, this sort of advertising is protected commercial speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. As for the invasion of privacy issue, your arrest record is public record. Some lawyers spend hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars a month to direct mail companies who subscribe to the daily Los Angeles County arrest reports and then send these advertisements to the people named in those reports (yes, the home addresses are in the arrest reports too).
However, there are some things you should know. Under the California Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys, the lawyer advertising mail you receive must be clearly labeled as an "advertisement" or "newsletter" or some similar language. Also, the advertisement cannot make any guarantees about the outcome (e.g. "We'll promise to get your case dismissed!"), especially because there are no guarantees in a criminal case, period. Finally, if you do decide to hire a lawyer who sends you ads in the mail, and there is an advertised fee in the ad,they cannot charge you more than the advertised fee. So, if you decide to hire someone because they said they'd handle your DUI for $799 then you find out that they really need $2500, they may be behaving unethically and illegally.
Of course, you should also be asking yourself what exactly it is you expect from a lawyer who charges you $799 for a DUI…but that's another post for another time. In the meantime, we're sorry you have to endure yet another indignity in the wake of your arrest.


This standard contract was developed by the FDPIC in co-operation with David Rosenthal from the Homburger law firm which specialises in business law. Its purpose is to ensure that the transfer of data abroad for data processing purposes (as part of an outsourcing contract) provides adequate protection for personal data within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Act.
In cases where a Swiss company has its data collection processed abroad, the FDPIC urgently recommends that a contract of this type be used to cover transborder data transfers. Although the contract, which has been specifically designed for Swiss companies, is directly based on Swiss law, it mirrors to a large extent EU standard contracts as well as those used within the framework of Safe Harbour Agreements (the EU Commission's standard contracts may also be used provided that they are adapted to extend protection to the personal data of legal entities and personality profiles). It is recommended that such contracts be signed before data are transferred to countries which do not have data protection provisions comparable to those that exist in Switzerland.
An outsourcing contract does not free the company that transfers data from its responsibility towards data subjects in the event of a violation of the latter's rights.

Helga Pogatschar: Inanna
Opera (Studio-Album)
"Listening cinema" according to the Sumerian census "Inanna's Gang to the Underworld".
Automatic translation: www.deepl.com/translate
The Babylonian goddess Inanna is one of the oldest mythical female figures of mankind. 4000 years old cuneiform tablets describe her as an ambivalent ruler. Her bloodthirsty lust for war and her excessive sexuality earned her the nickname "Whore of Babylon" in the Bible. The play tells the myth of INANNAS GANG IN DIE UNTERWELT. The subject is as fascinating today as it was 4000 years ago, because it shakes the foundations of human existence.
Inanna" brings back one of mankind's oldest literary works to life: the starting point for this extraordinary project is a reconstruction of the original text, which was translated into German specifically for the play in collaboration with assyrologists. The numerous breaks and gaps in the text were integrated into the compositional principle for libretto and music.
Unique in the history of music is the setting of the Sumerian original, which requires pioneering work both from the composer Helga Pogatschar and the singers: The aim is to make a language that has been extinct for several thousand years singable again.

BR - Audiobook of the Week
Article for 15-5 audio book magazine / Bayern2Radio, Bavarian Broadcasting
BR - Audiobook of the Week: Helga Pogachar: Inanna
Ms. & Speaking: Bernhard Jugel
In the Bible, the "Whore of Babylon" is the goddess Ishtar among the Baylons and the Astarte among the Assyrians. Originally, however, she was the "great primordial mother" in the Pantheon of the Sumerians, so she was at home in Mesopotamia, where she was responsible for love, fertility and war, and is known as "The Goddess / From the Great Heaven to the Great Earth guided her mind / Inanna".
Inanna, the archetype of all fertility goddesses and the embodiment of the planet Venus, is the subject of several myths. Munich composer Helga Pogatschar has now staged the most important and best-known myth, "Inanna's Walk into the Underworld", as "Hörkino" - one could also say: as a mixture of radio play and contemporary opera. The libretto is unique. Pogachar does not use a retelling, but the original text translated into German. A delicate undertaking, because this text has only been passed down in fragments - and also in faulty fragments: the preserved cuneiform tablets are school copies, partly incomplete, partly contradictory. Moreover, the text is not a narrative in the modern sense, but rather an enumeration, a litany with artistic repetitions and variations of always identical or similar sentences…
And yet these sentences fascinate us - their artistic distribution into three speaking and singing voices, their rhythm recorded and passed on by the music, the story that gradually emerges from all the enumerations: Inanna's fight with her sister Ereskigal, the ruler of the underworld; the Tad Inannas, whose body is carelessly hung on a stake; the lament of her servant Ninsubur, who causes the god Enki to bring the body of Inanna back to life with the help of the servant Schwuchti and Wuchti created by Enki: "Go, Faggots and Bulgeti… like the wind."
The text was brought back to life by the translator Károly Koller. In the laudably comprehensive booklet you can read the original text and translation, and a comment by Koller, in which he writes: "I did not want to help the Sumerian original to produce the best possible German, but rather the German language to produce the best possible Sumerian".
And that was a success. Language approaches concrete poetry, yet it is clear enough to make this initiation story about Tad and resurrection, love, fidelity and betrayal comprehensible. And the composition Helga Pogachar's fusion of classical opera, contemporary electronics and Arabic rhythms really transforms the more than 4,000 year old original into great audio cinema!

Colombia's Nobel Peace Prize-winning president, Juan Manuel Santos, thanked Canadians Monday for their support of his country's peace process – support that was bolstered by what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a "bilateral police initiative," and the prospect of peacekeepers.
"This (police) effort will support post-conflict policing efforts in Colombia and will see Canadian police providing training, capacity building and strategic advice to our Colombian friends," Trudeau announced after meeting Santos in his Parliament Hill office.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale was reportedly briefed last year on a proposal to contribute up to 10 police officers to peace efforts in Colombia, but it wasn't clear Monday whether the bilateral deployment was a part of that plan.
Canada will also deploy a government expert to Colombia to work alongside the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the prime minister said.
And Trudeau left the door open to a possible deployment of peacekeepers to Colombia, characterizing the policing effort as a separate initiative.
"That will not take the place of any further announcement on Canadian peacekeeping that we might be making," Trudeau said of the initiative when pressed by a Colombian reporter.
Santos was met with blustery winds and a driving rain earlier in the day as he arrived at Rideau Hall, where the weather forced the official welcome and an honour guard ceremony indoors.
The rain had drenched Ottawa before Santos could be greeted by Gov. Gen. Julie Payette, who was hosting her first official state visit since being sworn in earlier this month.
The Colombian leader made note of the rain as he arrived, telling Payette that he believed it was a good sign of "water from the heavens" blessing what he described as the "matrimonial relationship" between the two countries.
Flooding in the national capital region forced Trudeau to take back roads aboard an all-terrain vehicle to reach his motorcade for the commute to his Ottawa office from his weekend residence in the nearby Gatineau Hills.
Santos was awarded the peace prize last year for his efforts to end Colombia's half-century-long civil war, but said Canada – along with other nations – was instrumental in maintaining the momentum behind peace talks.
"I came here to … thank the prime minister and the Canadians for all the help that we have received in this difficult peace process in the last years," Santos said during a photo op with Trudeau.
The president added that he wanted to strengthen economic ties between Canada and Colombia and also thanked Canada for helping to educate people in his country.
The two nations signed a free trade agreement in 2008 and Colombia this month hosted the first round of formal negotiations aimed at reaching a trade deal that would include Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore as associate states in the Pacific Alliance trading bloc.
