Kyla Gardner: Whirlwind Journalisté
Posted on December 29, 2013 by Demarcus 'Doc' Robinson
Next up in the Q&A series is friend and former co-worker, Kyla Gardner, a reporter for DNAInfo Chicago. I met Kyla while we both attended Northern Illinois University and worked for the Northern Star newspaper. She came in like a ball of energy, and attacked some pretty meaty stories. Since then we've kept in contact, and I've been able to witness her grow and grew as a journalist. She's a bubbly, yet tenacious small package that's pretty interesting.
My questions and or comments will be in bold while Kyla's are in plain text.
What possessed you to ignore all good sense and go into the journalism field?
It was when I was transferring to Northern, and it was a really specific moment. I was planning on "creating my own major" or whatever in economics and international studies and Spanish, but I was staying with a friend in L.A. and we went to this independent book store and I picked up this book "The New New Journalism" and it was just interviews with a few authors I knew and a bunch I didn't and I was reading it, and I was like, wait, this is what I want to do! This is what they do!
And when she was at work one day I used her computer to maniacally change my whole course schedule a few weeks before the semester started.
So I guess practicality really didn't have anything to do with it.
It was like a five-minute decision, but a great one.
I reread the question because I was afraid I really didn't answer it, but you used "possessed" and I think that is the perfect word.
Kyla feeling dreadful for one reason or another.
Was your family, like many I've heard about, disconcerted about you choosing to study this and then continue it as a career?
It never really came up in discussion until I was a few weeks from graduation, when I was kind of deciding between pursuing an unpaid internship in Chicago, where I really wanted to be, and the possibility of a full-time/benefits/responsible-adult design position in the suburbs. And I kind of floated the idea with my parents of not moving forward with the full-time position, and my dad was like, "Well that's not what you want to do anyway, right?"
And that was really shocking to me! I don't know why, they've always been really supportive with me and my siblings (my brother studied animation, my sister is studying zoology, so we definitely aren't going into business school or anything). But it gets stuck in your head hearing so often, especially in school, this is a dying field, you'll never make any money. I mean, all our journalism professors became professors, right?!
Professor Gardner!
From your time as a journalisté, yes, journalisté, what can you tell people about some of their misconceptions about the profession?
Journaliste! I love that. If only I could make an accented e without copy and paste!
Okay I'm done with my one beer so watch out!
Hmmmmmmm.
I really feel like I don't have a lot of authority to talk! But I guess with my meager years of experience, one thing is that I am just so, so grateful when people open up and talk to me and share stories.
I encountered it at NIU, and now a few times since, that people kind of hedge their bets with you, and are like, "you know, I've spoken with journalists before, and I wasn't quoted right" or they didn't really "get" it, or any number of things that made them kind of distrustful.
So, hmmm, let me put a nice bow of a point on this, though I'm not sure I have one.
I guess this might not be answering your question, but sometimes it seems like people can be blanket-distrustful of "the media" and reporters so I'm just really appreciative of all the people who do talk and open up.
Oh! One of my roommate's coworkers (neither are journalists) she told me one time said, "Well, don't you kind of have to be promiscuous to be a journalist?"
Is that a stereotype?!?! hahaha
Tsk tsk. This might connect to a later question, FYI.
What were some of your misconceptions going into journalism?
I am blanking! Any prompts to help me along?
Possibly thinking of it in this very romantic way as portrayed in movies, or there's always an exciting story breaking.
Oh! I know.
I guess it's easy to assume there's that 24-hour news cycle everyone's always talking about, but then you really kind of learn, like, okay, on Christmas people aren't reading online news; they're hanging out with their family. So yeah, there are more ebbs and flows when there's not a huge story breaking, which I hadn't realized in school.
Which story, or series of stories, that you've covered has been the most memorable or left the biggest impact on you, good or bad?
Oh, ugh, I know these answers immediately.
It's definitely Hadiya Pendleton's murder, and Toni Keller's.
I helped with coverage of both of those, and it's just such a terrible thing to talk about and think about and write about. I can't imagine the impressions left on the reporters I work with who do most of their work on covering the city's murders, talking to families, friends, every day.
Obviously, still a job though. I don't want to make it sound like reporters bear the burden of that pain, because it's definitely the families and friends.
But in terms of stories, those are the first ones I think of when you ask that question.
That's one of the things that steered me away from pursuing a full-time reporter position. Working on Toni Keller's story and stories with violence, and the prospect of being on that type of beat for a long time.
The Toni Keller case was a lot of my first stories, just a few months after that L.A. snap decision. So it was a pretty big introductory class.
Which types of stories do you absolutely hate to cover?
Hahaha, oh god, is this going on the INTERNET for my BOSSES to see?!
YES, I'll @ them!
Hmmm, well I think I definitely get more nervous about event coverage than anything else. Like, it's an EVENT! It happens ONCE! So you better do it right. As opposed to researching a longer piece that takes setting up interviews and combing through stuff, you have a lot of time to think.
Haha, @ Jen Sabella! Maybe she will accept your marriage proposal this time.
(I once made the offer of marriage to Jen Sabella or, instead of that, her showing me how to become a verified tweeter. She did not respond . . . rightfully so.)
Again, good or bad, what are some of the most interesting reactions you've gotten when trying to engage a potential source?
One of my favorite stories to work on at the Northern Star was about the reopening of Gilbert Hall, and I found all these Star articles about it closing in, I think, '95.
So I went through the alumni database to find some of the students quoted back then, and I have, again, this specific memory of sitting in my dorm room, and calling at maybe 6 or 8 p.m. or something, and he picked up! And it's so exciting when someone picks up when you're expecting a message. So then, it's like, um, I wanted to talk to you about when you were upset 17 years ago about your dorm closing? And he told me he was unloading groceries from his car into his home, I think, in Naperville, you know, with a wife and family now and everything, but we talked and it seemed like he enjoying reminiscing about that, you know. It was just one of those weird ways you meet people, which is just the greatest thing in journalism. To get to talk to all these people you'd never cross paths with otherwise
I actually just did that again a week ago, calling someone to say, "I saw your name in this Tribune article from 10 years ago…"
That's kind of weird, I guess. hahaha
Going with that, could you talk about being a "lurkin ass" reporter?
Oh god hahahahaha.
I feel so ashamed every time I have no other choice trying to track someone down but to do the terrible "Hi @whoever, I'm a reporter can you DM me?"
Oh god, it's the worst.
Then your lurkin' is out there for everyone to see.
But I guess I've been surprised by that, too — how much, sometimes you can do to find a source through social media. It sounds so new-media or whatever but it's amazing sometimes what you can find.
Oh! The story about a guy riding on the top of the Red Line.
I found someone via Twitter who said he had seen it, so then I think I did the shameful DM thing or maybe found him on Facebook. By the way, I don't know if I should say this in public, but I have been kicked off of Facebook for friending people I don't know and then had to agree to this special terms of service not to do it anymore. Can't there be a clause for journalists now that you took away our inbox messaging?!? Mr. Zuckerberg?!?
But ANYWAY . . .
I talked to the guy over the phone who had seen it, and then we ran into each other in person one time! So again, just that magical thing of connecting with so many different people. It's great.
And I have been called a "lurkin' ass" by teens on Twitter.
She put her number up there! Twitter's like the White Pages these days, c'mon.
I guess that DOES make me sound creepy haha.
Do you ever think about just packing it in, and taking your talents to another field? If so, what stops you?
When I was doing my internships right after graduation I was moonlighting as a professional dog cuddler to pay rent. I seriously miss it all the time. I worked at a dog hotel, a boarding facility, but I spent all day taking care of and playing with dogs. I really have a soft spot for animals, one of my favorite beats is Urban Animals, so, I guess that's in the back of my mind, but I don't think I could pack it in, not yet. Right now, I feel like not ever, but maybe ask me again when I'm not fresh out of school!
Kyla and canine, a true friendship.
Unless you're worried about burning bridges, who or what are some individuals or organizations that wave the journalistic flag that you just can't stand?
Okay this is BAITING Demarcus!
Okay this is the question I was worried about! haha.
Well, anyone who knows me knows about the "B-word", and things are shifting so much in journalism right now, it seems like they aren't going to stop shifting, so who knows what certain sites will look like in five years.
But for right now, I really can't stand the kind of viral-at-any-costs thing. There was an article I read today in Esquire about breaking the internet which I think argued and summed up the feelings in a way I hadn't seen before. It was perfect.
But I guess I can't say what my friends, internet-only or IRL, can and cannot like and enjoy. I just know that, personally, what I really enjoy is when I can do the shoe-leather reporting, or the interviews or the research that brings some new information to people. So if people love reading and sharing and writing think pieces and viral Twitter sagas or YouTube videos or snarky takes on the news, that's fine that it exists. I just know that for me, that's not what I enjoy making or consuming, so hopefully there continues to be a market for the other stuff, the "traditional" stuff, if you will. I read the NYT Dasani piece last night, and man, there's just no 7-minute Upworthy video that can replicate that, in my opinion. I just don't want the viral stuff to become a substitution for everything else.
I'm trying to take a Zen-er approach for the new year, can you tell? haha
Yes, I can!
Why in the hell did it take you, a young and upcoming reporter, so long to get on Twitter and then actually utilize it?
Oh god, Twitter! A curse and a blessing!
I had a bunch of fake accounts at NIU, so I felt confident putting it on resume, because I knew how to use it. I just didn't have an actual account. And don't think I don't pay for it every day, because I'm stuck with @gardnerkyla and @kylagardner has ZERO tweets, ZERO followers, and ONE following: The Rock.
A handle squatter!
And it legitimately could be me, which is the worst part! Some old email account or something.
To answer your question, I realized to cover breaking news you have to use Twitter.
I mean, @CFDMedia uses Twitter! So I had so many Tweetdeck columns, and it helps so much. But now that I don't report as much breaking news, I'm kind of getting weaned off of Twitter. It's so addicting though. I've stayed up too many nights just because I was following breaking news on Twitter, and not for work or anything, just in my free time.
But trying to find that balance, between not looking at it ever and checking it every 5 minutes, it is tough to use it reasonably with the way it works.
Reporting is already tough, but have you ever felt like a source has ever given you a harder time, or even been patronizing, because you're a young woman or just because you're young?
Sometimes I get asked at placed if I want the 12-and-under discount, so that's not helping the young thing at all either. But honestly, I don't think I have. The times I've been patronized, I don't think it's because I'm a woman or I'm young.
Would you say me getting you into Chance The Rapper is the single most important thing I've contributed to you as a friend?
OH MY GOD, yes!
And while everyone's in the spirit of making end-of-year lists, somehow ending up at Chance's party after his show has to be one of my favorite memories of 2013.
Same here, and thanks to John Taylor for that!
Kyla & @JohnTaylorTweet with Chance The Rapper (I didn't move fast enough smh)
We were FB chatting, and I listened to the first song of "Acid Rap" and was like, "Demarcus, is this for real?" with his voice. And now I can't get enough of "10Day", either.
Truly, a wonderful gift.
You owe it to me to name your 1st child after me now.
That is so far off that I am going to go ahead and make you that deal, and you can be all like "GARDNER!" when I don't.
I'll take you to court!
Only if it's People's Court.
Me creeping on Kyla creeping on NoName Gypsy & Chance The Rapper.
What would you tell any and all journalists out there they should work on?
Well, I can't speak to much in my, what, 3, 4 years of doing this, but in a preachy, probably annoying way, I personally want to devote more time to some quality reading, so that's my recommendation. I get so easily distracted by checking Twitter and Facebook and email and reading a thousand how-to-write-more-and-better listicles and articles, and what those authors quoted and interviewed in those writing articles say anyway is to read more. And I feel like I'm reading when I'm doing this internet thing, but it's unfocused, low-quality reading. What I really need to do is sit down with a book or some long-form journalism and do that for a few hours without bouncing around.
Join #ArticleSquad.
Yes! I am always looking for recommendations, which ironically, I find by going on the internet. Also, thank you for inviting me, because you have been a RUTHLESS gatekeeper since Mr. Liparota and I have tried to join!
#ArticleSquad is a temple.
Okay, well I'm waving it in Mr. Liparota's face that I've been formally invited.
What's the worst question I asked during the Q&A, and what would you have asked in its place?
You know what, I can't really say there were any that were the worst! The ones that tripped me up were ones that I didn't feel I had good answers to, but I feel like that's MY fault! they were all good questions. But maybe I can think of an additional one.
What would I ask myself, if I were me? #millennial
Maybe something about what I'm reading, or who my favorite writers or journalists are?
Ew, the term millennial. This Q&A is formally over!
BONUS: Who are some of your favorite writers/journalists?
I am weirdly obsessed with the very specific niche of authenticating fine art, and David Grann wrote an article about that, and I love that I remember reading that the same summer I decided to go into journalism, so I think that definitely played a part in that, too. But I think "Fatal Distraction" is my favorite feature ever, ever ever. It is so terribly sad, but you need to read it over and over. And I love a bunch of other things Gene Weingarten has written. Recently about Jeffrey MacDonald, the feature on the Great Zucchini, really anything in the "Fiddler on the Subway" collection. And the Zanesville pieces in both GQ and Esquire, back to those urban animals. I've been recently obsessed with Chris Jones' Teller profile. I could go on about this for days, I think I need to join #ArticleSquad if you are interested in features that were written years ago haha.
#ArticleSquad is open minded.
Kyla Gardner, hot shot, hot-dogging journalist.

"War-r-r-riors! Come out to play-y-y-y!"
By michael July 10, 2015 July 10, 2015 Movies
In Walter Hill's stylized and slightly surreal cult hit The Warriors, the street gangs of New York dress in matching theme outfits, as though they are all British pop groups from the 1960s. There are the Baseball Furies (heavy face paint and pinstriped uniforms); the High-Hats (mimes, basically); the Lizzies (a tastefully trashy biker chick vibe), and the relatively tweedy Warriors themselves, who rock matching sleeveless maroon leather vests.
There are hundreds of equally colorful gangs in the city, and one night each gang is invited to send nine delegates to a special conclave being held in the Bronx. It turns out that the charismatic Cyrus, leader of the highly respected Gramercy Riffs (matching leather jackets, sunglasses, bling) wants to propose an unprecedented alliance. All the city's gangs combined, Cyrus argues, would number in the tens of thousands; they could evict the police and rule New York City.
This enticing idea seems, for a moment, as though it will unify New York's gang culture (the assembled delegates seem to be digging it, anyway), but tragedy strikes: Cyrus is assassinated mid-speech, and in the confusion, the Warriors are wrongly accused to committing the crime. Now being hunted by 60,000 enemies, the gang must fight its way back to the safety of its home turf of Coney Island.
Based on Sol Yurick's 1965 novel, The Warriors takes a simple premise and propels it forward with admirable speed and efficiency. While many directors would choose to make a movie of this kind look gritty and rough around the edges, Hill goes in another direction, creating a sleek dystopian New York that seems eerily depopulated, its deserted streets glistening; only the gangs seem to venture out after dark, tuning into the radio station that delivers coded messages read by Lynn Thigpen in a series of extreme close-ups (Thigpen, incongruously, also plays The Eagles).
It seems strange today that the movie generated so much controversy upon its release; there was a good deal of worry that it would incite gang violence. And in fact there were some violent incidents between rival gangs that happened to show up at the same theater to see it, causing the movie's theatrical run to be cut short. But those concerns were clearly rooted in the anxieties of Carter-era America, not in anything you see on-screen. Because the gangs in The Warriors aren't much tougher than the ones we saw in West Side Story, though they tend to be, on the whole, snappier dressers.
The Warriors is a lot more fun than West Side Story, though, and as a movie it works a lot better than Hill's even more stylized retro-future fantasy Streets of Fire (1984) — Michael Popham
THE WARRIORS screens Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11, at 7:00 and 9:00, and Sunday, July 12 at 5:00 and 7:00. There will also be a special 10:00 am screening on Saturday, July 11 with a book club discussion of Sol Yurick's novel The Warriors to follow at Moon Palace Books around the corner. Advance tickets are $8.00. and you can purchase them here.

INOVATIVE FINANCING
FOR INDIE
THE GLOBAL PROJECT FINANCING
NEEDS DERIVING FROM THE BUSINESS PLAN, OVER THE 3 FIRST YEARS, ARE AS FOLLOWS:
INDIE AGENCY
1.500 K€
UNPLANNED NEEDS
TOTAL SHORT-TERM
FINANCING NEEDS
TOTAL LONG-TERM
INDIE, AS A JOURNALISM AND TECHNOLOGY PROJECT, INTENDS TO FUND ITS JOURNALISM ENDEAVOR WITH A MIX OF TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE REVENUE STRATEGIES. HERE'S A SUMMARY.
INDIE's model is based on the idea of not only being a content producer, but also a mediator and distributor of content produced by third parties. For this reason, its funding model needs to take into account the fair remuneration for the start-ups that participate in the hub.
In the next pages, we will analyze in detail these two important points: [1] INDIE's capacity to add value and grow in an organic and sustainable way and [2] the remuneration model for the hub's partner start-ups.
One of INDIE's essential, non-negotiable tenets is an absolute separation between its funding sources and the content it produces. Every potential investor that joins the project must be aware of this impregnable wall. Its funding model must also reflect and contribute to this independence.
Since there is no clearly defined model to fund a journalism start-up, INDIE will make use of existing successful strategies, but will also commit to searching for other forms of innovative and ethical financing. With that in mind, let's talk a bit more about subscriptions, syndication and data management – and then go on to how INDIE intends to be instrumental in the sustainability of its partners.
PAYWALL AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
The best way to guarantee journalistic independence is direct funding from a solid reader base that is willing to pay for content. INDIE will operate on a paywall and "fremium" subscription system that will guarantee unlimited access to its content amongst all digital platforms.
The agency will group together all the content produced by INDIE NEWS and its PARTNERS. INDIE AGENCY will oversee the project's B2B exchange, reselling part of its content to newspapers, websites, and radio and cable TV channels willing to pay for high quality syndication service.
INDIE DATA will be INDIE's data strategy agency, the projects intelligence unit. Alongside resources obtained through subscriptions or syndication, INDIE envisages this third branch of business that can aggregate and analyze data for its own use and for use by NGOs, entrepreneurs, and public as well as private initiatives.

Gaetz emerges from meeting with McCarthy during GOP speakership battle, bluntly says: 'I'm a no'
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) emerged from a tense, brief meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) Monday as his bid for Speaker of the House hangs in the balance, telling reporters that he's a definite "no" on support for the beleaguered moderate Republican.
Republicans will retake the House this week and their first agenda item is to select a speaker as the 118th Congress is set to begin at noon on Tuesday. That fight has split conservatives with a number of them digging in their heels on voting for McCarthy because he is not seen as a strong conservative even though he has the backing of former President Trump. The GOP holds 222 seats in the chamber and McCarthy needs 218 to clinch the position. He does not have the number of votes to do so as up to 14 Republicans are standing against him and Gaetz is leading the way.
Gaetz has been a very vocal opponent of McCarthy taking the speakership. He is part of the "Never Kevin" movement and is joined by GOP Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, Matt Rosendale of Montana, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina.
That has not deterred McCarthy from moving his furniture into the speaker's office at the Capitol. He met briefly with Gaetz on Monday, who left the meeting telling NBC reporter Haley Talbot that he hasn't budged on his stance against McCarthy. He called the meeting "a brief and productive discussion."

"How was it productive?" a reporter asked Gaetz.
"Insofar that it was brief," he responded. Gaetz was accompanied by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) who is also a fierce McCarthy critic and unlikely to support him.
Gaetz would not comment much on the pressing issue.
"Has he won your support yet, congressman?" Robert Costa of CBS News asked him.
"No," Gaetz bluntly responded.
I'm not voting for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker because he's just a shill of The Establishment.
The reason most of my Republican colleagues are supporting him is because they benefit from the redistribution of lobbyist & special interest money from McCarthy to their campaigns. pic.twitter.com/bdJmjwy6W7
— Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) December 27, 2022
"Why not?" Costa further asked.
Gaetz tersely indicated he has previously explained his reasoning "extensively."
Costa would not back off asking if he was any closer to backing McCarthy. Gaetz reiterated that the meeting was "brief and productive."
"That's a different tone than you've struck before," CNN's Manu Raju noted to the Republican, "You might vote for him tomorrow?"
"I'm a no," Gaetz asserted, making it clear his mind is made up.
McCarthy has allegedly offered a number of concessions to secure the speakership but they have apparently not swayed Gaetz.

McCarthy's ally, incoming House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, expressed confidence after leaving the meeting that he would be the next speaker.
"He's going to be speaker," Emmer told reporters, according to the Daily Mail.
But Freedom Caucus Chair Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) doesn't share that sentiment and posted a letter to his Twitter account calling for change and a shake-up in leadership.
He tweeted on Sunday night, "Nothing changes when nothing changes, and that must start from the top. Time to make the change or get out of the way."

Multiple reports are claiming that conservatives will push Rep. Steve Scalise for the speakership position.
"He's steadfast. He's in this until hell freezes," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a McCarthy backer told Politico.
According to CBS, Bacon told reporters that he's considering nominating an outgoing member of the current Congress for speaker if the "Never Kevin" Republicans push Scalise instead of McCarthy.
Biggs, one of the five original 'Never Kevin' Republicans, tweeted Monday, "Even after the McCarthy Machine's attempts to whip votes and smear my name for several weeks, McCarthy is still well short of the 218 threshold. Our party still requires new leadership and I will continue to oppose McCarthy for House Speaker."

Home » Tech Basics » Internet 101 » Introduction to the Internet Course » What is a URL?
What does U.R.L. stand for?
U.R.L. is an acronym that stands for "Uniform Resource Locator". It is also sometimes said to stand for "Universal Resource Locator". That probably doesn't help you understand what one actually is, though, so let's get into what "U.R.L." actually means.
What is the definition of U.R.L.?
"The address of a resource (as in a document or website) on the Internet that consists of a communications protocol followed by the name or address of a computer on the network, and that often includes additional locating information (such as directory and file names)".
Think of a U.R.L. as a mailing address for the Internet. In real life, you use your mailing address to make sure that your mail gets sent to you and nobody else, or to make sure that someone gets to your house and not somebody else's when you're trying to give them directions. A U.R.L. works in much the same way: its job is to give something on the Internet a unique identity, so that you can find it without winding up somewhere else, or in multiple places at once.
What does a U.R.L. mean?
A U.R.L. is composed of three major parts: the protocol, the domain, and the path. Let's look at a sample Internet address and break down what each part is, and what it means.
The protocol declares how you're going to connect to what you're looking for on the Internet. In terms of a real-life parallel, when you want to talk to someone, do you see them in person, send them a letter or email, or phone them? These are all different "protocols" for communicating with that person. A common protocol is "HTTP", which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This is a standard protocol for connecting to web pages on the World Wide Web.
Another common protocol you may see is "HTTPS", which is basically "HTTP" with extra security functions built in. It's generally used when dealing with banking or other personal information exchanges, in order to keep your information hidden from those who might steal it and use it for malicious purposes. However, many websites that store user information are beginning to use it by default now. And, as you can see from our example, Techboomers is one of them! After all, we want you to feel as safe as possible when using our site, as well as the Internet at large.
The domain declares where you're trying to connect to. Again, for a real life example, if you were trying to send a letter to me, a domain would represent the mailing address of my house.
A domain is usually split into three parts: type, name, and designation.
Type is the general technical specification of the server you're connecting to. The most common one you'll see is the one in our example, "www". This means that you're trying to connect to a general page on the World Wide Web. Some other types you may see are "mail" if you're using an email client, or "support" or "help" if you're visiting a website's help section.
Name is an identifying part given to something on the Internet by the people who run it. Our domain name is "techboomers" because that's who we are: Techboomers. However, some others have to get creative with their domain names in order to not overlap with other, possibly similar places. For example, the music group known as "Magic!" has their domain name as "ournameismagic" to differentiate it from the trading card game "Magic: The Gathering" (magic.wizards) or the online delivery request application called "Magic" (getmagicnow).
Designation, also known as "top-level domain", is an indicator of the specific purpose of the domain that you're connecting to. Ours is ".com", because we're a business (though many other websites use ".com" as their designation, even if they aren't actually businesses). Other common designations include ".org" (for non-profit organizations), ".net" (networks that connect people or provide information), ".edu" (for American colleges and universities), and ".gov" (for the American government). There are also country-based designations, such as ".ca" for Canada, ".uk" for the United Kingdom, and ".ru" for Russia.
The path declares exactly what you are looking for in the domain that you're connecting to. In the case of a website, the "path" is the specific web page on that website that you're trying to get to. To continue our parallel with traditional mail, the "path" part would be you writing my name at the top of your letter to me, or at least somewhere on the envelope. This is so that, even though there are multiple people living at the address that you're sending the letter to, it is clear that your letter is intended to be read specifically by me.
In our example, the path is "/t/what-is-a-url". The "/t" part tells you that this web page is part of our "Tutorials" section, and the "/what-is-a-url" part tells you the specific name of the web page that you're trying to get to out of all the ones we have marked as "tutorials". In this case, it's "What is a U.R.L.?"
Since "HTTP" is the most common protocol and "www" is the most common domain type on the World Wide Web, you can usually get away with not typing one or the other (or perhaps both) into your web browser's address bar when you're trying to get to a specific website. Instead, you can just type in the website's domain name and designation (and maybe a path, if you're trying to get to a specific web page).
For example, if you're trying to get to our home page, instead of typing "https://www.techboomers.com" into your web browser's address bar, you can just type in "techboomers.com", and your web browser will fill in the missing parts for you automatically. In fact, you'll notice that many of our links on the website will use this shortcut as well, in that they omit the domain type (so instead of "https://www.techboomers.com", they're just "https://techboomers.com").

More than twenty years separate An Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense and the Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man, but Thomas Reid had already foreshadowed the latter in his early work. Although he had analysed only the five senses and the associated principles of the human mind, he would, he said: leave the further prosecution of this inquiry to future deliberation. The powers of memory, of imagination, of taste, of reasoning, of moral perception, the will, the passions, the affections, and all the active powers of the soul, present a vast and boundless field of philosophical disquisition, which the author of this inquiry is far from thinking himself able to survey with accuracy.
Perhaps it was this typically modest assessment of his own powers which led Reid to abandon what appears to have been a plan of making the Inquiry a work in two books in which the second book should begin with a chapter on memory coming `next to the external Senses'. However this may be, it is clear that a great deal of the ideas which eventually were to be presented in the Intellectual Powers have solid roots already in his work at Aberdeen in the 1750s and early 1760s and, in some cases, earlier. As time wore on, he did come to think himself able to present a survey of sufficient accuracy and this proved to be one covering, to varying degrees, the topics he had listed earlier.
In the years which intervened between the two works, Reid was Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, and it was his lectures there which, together with his contributions to the Glasgow Literary Society, provided him with the opportunity to plough the `vast and boundless field of philosophical disquisition' in the detail which he demanded. The result was that when he retired from active teaching in 1780, he could, as he points out in the Dedication to the present work, draw `the substance of these Essays' from his lectures. Reid gave two courses at Glasgow; one was the `public class', a general course in moral philosophy understood in the wide sense as distinguished from natural philosophy; the other, `private class' was a more specialised course in the philosophy of mind. The former course was divided into three sections, pneuma- tology, ethics and politics, of which the first was by far the most comprehensive. In the other course, Reid developed the implications of his theory of the mind, lecturing on `the culture of the mind', the relationship between mind and body, and on the fine arts, rhetoric and logic.
In Reid's voluminous manuscript Nachlass there is particularly much material pertaining to the lectures on pneumatology and on the culture of the mind–lectures which overlap in some measure. In addition the manuscript of the Intellectual Powers, except for the Preface and Essay I, chapter 1, has been preserved. From this material we can see that Reid was not exaggerating in the claim quoted above. The work is overwhelmingly derived from the lectures and especially from the course on pneumatology, including material which was used also in the lectures on the culture of the mind. In addition Reid used some of the papers which he had presented to the Glasgow Literary Society.
Unfortunately the manuscripts do not tell us much about the steps by which Reid developed his thinking for very few of them are dated. However, it is clear that the fundamental ideas were in place from early on in Reid's career in Glasgow, and that Reid's long years of teaching mainly were devoted to working out the full implications of these ideas. As Paul Wood has pointed out, Reid revised his lectures in 1768–9 but apart from matters of style and presentation, this was limited to refinements of the argument, in some degree an ongoing process as can be seen from the manuscripts. It should also be remarked that during the 1770s Reid began another philosophical enterprise, namely a major critical examination of materialism, determinism and associationism. This was occasioned by Joseph Priestley's onslaught in his Examination of Dr. Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense, Dr. Beattie's Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth, and Dr. Oswald's Appeal to Common Sense in Behalf of Religion (London, 1774) and by Priestley's introduction to an edition of David Hartley's Theory of the Human Mind (London, 1775) which Reid reviewed. While some of Reid's material on these issues made it into the Essays, and while the dispute with Priestley brought out some the most detailed explanations of Reid's method for his philosophy in general, the bulk of this work remained unpublished at his death. It was in fact a separate project whose extent and quality can only now be appreciated thanks to the recent reconstruction of it in Thomas Reid on the Animate Creation.
I send you now the remainder of what I propose to print with respect to the Intellectual Powers of the Mind. It may, perhaps, be a year before what relates to the Active Powers be ready, and, therefore, I think the former might be published by itself, as it is very uncertain whether I shall live to publish the latter.
In the same letter he states his choice of title for the first volume and settles for its division into eight essays. However, as late as December 1784, when Gregory and Stewart already were reading proofs of the Intellectual Powers, Reid was still fussing that the work might be too much for one volume and too little for two but that he might finish his work on the active powers so quickly that, `there may be two sizeable books in the whole'. As it turned out, the publisher John Bell brought out the Intellectual Powers in Edinburgh in the summer of 1785 while Reid continued his work on the rest of his scheme which appeared in 1788 as Essays on the Active Powers of Man. Reid received a fee of £;300 for the Intellectual Powers as well as a respectful, if limited, critical appreciation of the work. There seems to have been only three contemporary reviews, in the English Review, the Monthly Review, and the Critical Review.
Apart from a Dublin reprint in 1790, all further editions were posthumous and in the first half of the nineteenth century the two volumes of essays were commonly published together as Reid would have wished it, but under an imposed title, Essays on the Powers of the Human Mind. This was only a minor instance of the many liberties taken with the integrity of works to whose every detail Reid had devoted so much care both in the clarity of argument and the elegance of formulation. In fact, the combined Essays became part of a newly invented tradition of `the Scottish philosophy' as `the Common Sense' philosophy of Reid and Stewart, with James Beattie and James Oswald in minor supporting roles. While the role of this tradition in nineteenth-century thought, not only in Britain but also, and not least, in France and in America, is of the first importance, it is not conducive to an understanding of Reid's work on his own terms. The traditional lack of historical sensibility in the discussion of Reid is not without irony. Reid himself was formidably learned in the history of philosophy, as is seen in all his works but not least in the Intellectual Powers where he provides an extensive and detailed discussion of what he calls the theory of ideas. At some stage his correspondent James Gregory even suggested to him that he should present `the History of the Ideal System' as a separate work. Reid expressed interest in the idea on the grounds that in the future it might be as well for readers not to have to contend with the polemical discussions surrounding the formulation of his mental philosophy, much like we now—in the late eighteenth century—could do without the polemical efforts of the great reformers of natural philosophy, such as Boyle.
However, the genuine philosophy of the human mind, is in so low a state, and has so many enemies, that, I apprehend those who would make any improvement in it must, for some time at least, build with one hand, and hold a weapon with the other. In other words, the historical context of philosophical theories is only of relevance as a weapon in the war of ideas. When the war has been won, the victor is the pure philosophical distillate of timeless truth. The pleasure of the irony is that one has to understand Reid in his historical context to see why he should have come to this ahistorical conclusion.

Senate Week in Review: May 16-20, 2022
SPRINGFIELD – Young adult entrepreneurs will have an easier time starting and operating new businesses, thanks to legislation sponsored by State Sen. Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg) and signed into law by the Governor.
Sen. Fowler participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony May 16 that means more economic development for Southern Illinois, and on May 18, he was able to visit with students for a unique education event at Unity Point School.
And nominations for the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame will continue to be accepted through June 1.
New law paves way for youth entrepreneurs
A new law sponsored by Sen. Fowler is paving the way for youth entrepreneurs to start and operate businesses in Illinois.
"The events of the past two years have left their mark on our state's economy, which is not very business-friendly right now. It can be especially tough for young people looking to start their own businesses," Fowler said. "Helping youth entrepreneurs get started and succeed will boost local and state economies, generate jobs and provide revenues for communities."
Senate Bill 2984 adds "youth entrepreneurs" to the groups that can be assisted at Entrepreneurship Assistance Centers though a program established in 2021 to be supported by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
"This new law defines 'youth entrepreneurs' as persons between the ages of 16 to 29 who want to start a business in Illinois. Entrepreneurship Assistance Centers offer guidance to young business owners, providing them with knowledge and mentorship, as well as access to capital and resources," Fowler said. "This layer of support will help youth entrepreneurs transition into self-employment and increase the sustainability of their businesses."
Passed by unanimous votes of the Senate on Feb. 16, and the House of Representatives on March 30, Senate Bill 2984 was signed by the Governor on May 13. The new law has an effective date of Jan. 1, 2023.
ReaderLink opens new Marion Distribution Center
On May 16, Sen Fowler joined local leaders at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the ReaderLink Distribution Center in Marion. With the help of a Community Development Block Grant, ReaderLink is establishing a larger distribution facility in the former Circuit City building. The Center currently employs 25 people, but with the expansion, they are going to hire 74 more for a total of 99.
ReaderLink is the largest full-service distributor of hardcover, trade, and paperback books in North America. Bringing this distribution center to Southern Illinois will ensure more jobs and better economic viability for Southern Illinois! There are only six distribution centers nationwide!
Visiting with students
Sen. Fowler joined with State Sen. Terri Bryant of Murphysboro on May 18 for a game of "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" at Unity Point School in Carbondale.

Braves fans once again left wanting during postseason
Frank Wren, seen speaking at a press conference, was fired by the Braves franchise less than 24 hours after being eliminated form the post season. Tribune News Service
Another regular season has come and gone in the MLB with another postseason beginning, and anticipation is starting to rise as to who will claim the 2014 World Series title. As analysts start speculating about the Washington Nationals looking to earn their first ever World Series championship hot off the heels of Jordan Zimmerman's no-hitter, one team is again absent from the conversation.
While many will tune in to the early-stage games this week, bright-eyed and eager, I personally will be keeping my distance from the pageantry and excitement.
Welcome to the life of an Atlanta Braves fan, where followers are forced to watch their team self-destruct, always after the promise of a record-setting season. While the Braves did set a record, it was not a good one. The team suffered its first losing season since 2008 after finishing next-to-last in runs in the Major League.
Perhaps I'm just bitter, portraying the team as worse than some of the records show. The Braves allowed fewer runs scored than any team in the NL East and won a fair amount of games at home. However, the offense fell far flat of expectations, and the cyclical nature of the Braves season has left a sour taste in the mouths of many.
After beginning the season in a dominant fashion, garnering speculation and hype around the team, hopes were raised, albeit prematurely. Few words can be used to describe the end of the season other than "skid," as the team continued to slip farther and farther out of playoff contention they once aimed for.
Less than 24 hours after being eliminated from the post season, the franchise fired general manager Frank Wren. It was the first time a manager or general manager has been fired since 1990, and many are calling for manager Fredi Gonzales to follow suit. But no amount of rearranging is enough to combat the Atlanta curse.
Each year, it seems that more Atlanta teams across the board take their fans on an emotional roller coaster, showing promise before falling just short of the post season, or perhaps worse, in the first round, depriving the city of a championship title it's so desperately seeking.
The city found itself atop Forbes' list of Most Miserable Sports Cities this year, with the publication calling the Braves "perennial bridesmaids." When combined with the other Atlanta franchises, the group is 1-5 in championship rounds. The Atlanta curse is real, and until it's broken, I plan to keep my distance from postseasons.

2020 Event Schedule For The Grand Ole Opry
By Samuel Berg
The Grand Ole Opry features various country music artists all year long either in the Opry house or in the Ryman Auditorium. Usually, the shows are held four times a week, but there are also certain months wherein events are scheduled only during the weekend. If you are a big fan of country music, regardless of whether you prefer timeless classics or the sound of budding and new artists, to be able to witness the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, firsthand is a must for you. Fortunately, you can begin to plan your visit to this town with the help of numerous sources displaying the 2020 event schedule for the show.
First Quarter of 2020
January. All weekends of January featured Opry at the Ryman, except for the last Friday of the month wherein the Grand Ole Opry happened at the Opry House. January featured artists such as Vince Gill and Terri Clark, as well as Zach Williams and Connie Smith to name a few.
February. Every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday of the month, the Grand Ole Opry features several artists with Trace Adkins and Hawktail among the first artists opening the love month. Conversely, Carly Pearce and John Turner are some of the artists who are scheduled to perform on the last day of February, closing the love month.
March. The Thursdays in March are dedicated to the Opry Country Classics at the Ryman. On the other hand, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are all dedicated to the Grand Ole Opry show. The month of March features artists such as Dustin Lynch and Matt Stell, along with Dailey & Vincent, as well as The Isaacs.
Second Quarter of 2020
April and May. Thursdays are still dedicated to the Opry Country Classics at the Ryman for both April and May. However, the Grand Ole Opry show happens only three times a week. Some of the country music artists to grace the stage in April are The Gatlin Brothers, William Michael Morgan, as well as Jerrod Niemann. On the other hand, some of the artists to be featured in the month of May include Mark Wills, Mason Ramsey, and Lauren Alaina.
June. The artists to be featured in the Grand Ole Opry show for this month are soon to be announced. Nevertheless, apart from the Grand Ole Opry show, the current Opry schedule shows that the CMA Fest also happens during the first week of this month, particularly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If you are keen on attending this festival, book your tickets early because they sell out quite rapidly.
Third and Fourth Quarter of 2020
The artists for the third and fourth quarters of the year are still waiting to be announced. Rest assured that the Grand Ole Opry show will be held consistently, week after week. Look out for the Opry Birthday Bash weekend happening on the first weekend of October though.
In conclusion, it can be deemed that the Grand Ole Opry is a show that must be witnessed by all country music lovers. Those who truly love country music should not miss an avenue where the best artists in the country music genre are featured. Whether you love country music or not, you will surely have the time of your life checking out at least one of the schedules mentioned above.

Art Exhibition Workshop 2019 - Latin American Week
Gallery talks and tour
Ukama Gallery is pleased to present the sculptural product of a unique international collaboration, between Dominic Benhura and IceBear. Their Mother Earth sculpture brings together Benhura's celebrated expression of contemporary Zimbabwean stone sculpture, informed by the context of IceBear's inventive extension of Indigenous Canadian artistic traditions.
Internationally acclaimed Ojibwey artist, IceBear will be unveiling a new monumental work of art, "The Calling", exploring themes of community and environment. "The Calling" offers an environmental message: the embodiment of the artist's unique Visions that reflect his beliefs about the necessity of understanding the natural world around us. Respect for Mother Earth and all her creatures is omnipresent in this new mixed media work, reflecting his cultural heritage, the mythologies of aboriginal peoples, and the conundrum of being aboriginal in a technological world.
IceBear is a status member of the Chippewas of Nawash at Cape Croker at Georgian Bay in Ontario. While still a teen, he attended the Toronto Artist's Workshop, and later Sheridan College. He has been a farm hand, construction worker, and male model. After college, he went to work in the advertising and communications industry, starting with the Hudson Bay Company's sign shop, then a stint in one of the world's most respected Type foundries, Typsettra, and went on to spend the next twenty five years as designer and art director, going from in-house agency designer and art director to owning his own high boutique design studio with a staff of ten, before turning his back on the Toronto scene and making his way to the west coast, first Vancouver, and then Vancouver Island, where he gave up the commercial art world altogether. With his arrival on the west coast, in the early 80s, he felt a growing need to follow his dreams, fulfil his "responsibilities" and give the visions the chance to materialize. He moved to Vancouver Island, adopting the name Ice Bear for his art, and made a personal commitment to fine art. Since that time, his art has expanded his horizons. The child taken from his family and at an early age, raised by the state, having to fend for himself since his mid teens, has gone on to become a noted artist, with his work shown and collected internationally. From the reservation, to life on the mean streets, and then to showing in New York, Dallas, Beijing, even in the home of one of his artistic idols, Michelangelo, Florence Italy, and touring the galleries and concert halls of Vienna, it has been a life journey full of learning, of inspiration, and of wonder. Ice Bear's work reflects his beliefs about the necessity of understanding the natural world around us, and learning to respect both this Earth and all our fellow travellers on it. Other themes are related to these beliefs, reflecting his cultural heritage, the mythologies of aboriginal peoples, and the conundrum of being aboriginal in a technological world.
Limited amount of tickets available.
Please reserve your tickets here.
Date of event: June 29 2019
Hour: 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Free event. Donations at a minimum of $5 are welcome.

Artist talk: Dominic Benhura and IceBear

"Now I will make you small among the nations, despised by mankind.
Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations, despised among humanity.
Indeed, I'll make you the least of the nations, despised among men.
For, behold, I have made thee small among the nations, and despised among men.
For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men.

Q: Merge 2 similar data-frames using conditions
Context
I have a database made of csv files. I'm getting new files every month and I need to update my database with those files. However I can't overwrite changes about one important data because I need to keep track of the history of it.
Problem
I have 2 data-frames that look like this - the first 3 columns are the key  :
Database dataframe (DD)
ID1  ID2  ID3  important_data  some_date1  some_data2  date
1    2    3    10              X            Y          2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278
4    5    6    10              M            N          2019-07-15 14:53:16.107278

Database client (DC)
ID1  ID2  ID3  important_data  some_date1  some_data2  date
1    2    3    15              A            B          2019-10-19 14:53:16.107278
4    5    6    10              O            P          2019-09-18 14:53:16.107278

The first DF is the one in my DB. The second one is the new one given by my client.
If the "important_data" has not been changed (case of the id 4 5 6) compared to the last matching tuple in date, I overwrite the old data with the new one :
New Database dataframe (DD)
ID1  ID2  ID3  important_data  some_date1  some_data2  date
1    2    3    10              X            Y          2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278
4    5    6    10              O            P          2019-09-18 14:53:16.107278

Else (ID 1 2 3 - or if the raw is completely new) I need to write a whole new raw in the database frame :
New Database dataframe (DD)
ID1  ID2  ID3  important_data  some_date1  some_data2  date
1    2    3    10              X            Y          2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278
1    2    3    15              A            B          2019-10-19 14:53:16.107278
4    5    6    10              M            N          2019-07-15 14:53:16.107278

Question
I can do it with a regular nested ifs like this (algorithm) :
Select last_in_date rows in DD (for each IDs) in new dataframe DD_pending // we only need the last entries
For rowC in DC
new = true
 For rowD in DD_pending
  If matching IDs then
   new = false
   If same "important_data" then overwrite_everything
   Else create_new_row in DD
if new then create_new_row in DD
Merge DD_pending with DD, drop duplicates

But is it possible to simplify it, in terms of resources needed by the machine, using pandas merging ? I tried to look at this but it's not quite the same. I'm looking at concat also but I can't find a way to do it.
Thanks !
Ps : I tried to be as clear as possible, with examples, but if it's not clear enough feel free to ask for clarifications !

A: This should do it.
# imports
import pandas as pd
import datetime

# ignore (just for setting up the problem)
db_df = pd.DataFrame({
    "ID1": [1, 4],
    "ID2": [2, 5],
    "ID3": [3, 6],
    "important_data": [10, 10],
    "some_date1": ["X", "M"],
    "some_date2": ["Y", "N"],
    "date": [datetime.datetime.strptime("2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278", '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'),
             datetime.datetime.strptime("2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278", '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')]
})

# ignore (just for setting up the problem)
db_df_client = pd.DataFrame({
    "ID1": [1, 4],
    "ID2": [2, 5],
    "ID3": [3, 6],
    "important_data": [15, 10],
    "some_date1": ["A", "O"],
    "some_date2": ["B", "P"],
    "date": [datetime.datetime.strptime("2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278", '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'),
             datetime.datetime.strptime("2019-09-19 14:53:16.107278", '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')]
})

# the line you care about
pd.concat([db_df, db_df_client]).drop_duplicates(subset=['ID1','ID2','ID3','important_data'], keep='first')

HAVE YOUR SAY ON COUNCIL'S DRAFT COASTAL AND ISLANDS' HAZARD ADAPTATION STRATEGY
Redland City Council is inviting community members to have their say on its draft Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy (CHAS) after the project's consultation phase was endorsed at a recent Council meeting.
The CHAS is a city-wide strategy for the city's coastline and islands that will assess the vulnerability of infrastructure, assets, and property to coastal hazards such as coastal erosion, storm tide inundation, and sea level rise.
The strategy also recommends actions for Council and property owners to adapt to the challenges up to the years 2070 and 2100.
Mayor Karen Williams, who also chairs the project's steering committee, said this consultation period was an essential step in finalising Council's long-term, comprehensive, climate adaptation plan.
"After years of extensive coastal studies and investigations to determine the risk of existing and future coastal hazard impacts on Redlands Coast, Council's draft CHAS is ready to be reviewed by our community," she said.
"As a city of islands with approximately 335km of coastline, it is vital that we do this work to assess the vulnerabilities and risks posed by potential changes to our coastline, and determine the best ways to manage our public areas and assets.
"The draft strategy considers land and assets that may be impacted by coastal hazards."
Cr Williams said the draft CHAS had been developed in line with the Queensland Government and the Local Government Association of Queensland's QCoast2100 program, with Redland City Council being one of more than 30 coastal councils in Queensland doing this planning.
"Ultimately, the CHAS will help us implement cost-effective mitigation measures, plan for development and growth, budget for higher costs, collaborate regionally, and seek investment opportunities," she said.
"Now we want to receive the community's feedback about the draft strategy."
Cr Williams said that due to COVID-safe requirements, community workshops on the draft strategy would not be held, with community consultation to take place online via the project's page on Council's Your Say website.
"It is important that we all work together to help keep everyone safe during these times, and people can visit Council's Your Say page for a copy of the draft strategy and make a submission on it," she said.
"I urge all community members to participate in this important project to help protect the future of Redlands Coast."
The CHAS is scheduled for completion in April 2021 following a review of community feedback and Council's adoption of the strategy.
For more information about the project and to have your say, visit yoursay.redland.qld.gov.au/CHAS
Consultation has now started and closes on Friday 18 December 2020.

Home » WAFU® Japanese Vinaigrette Review
WAFU® Japanese Vinaigrette Review
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a Canadian company which sells WAFU® Japanese Vinaigrette to see if I'm interested in sampling their dressing. The funny thing is this dressing is actually one of my husband's favorites, so I happily accepted the offer. This review is based on our own experience and we did not get any compensation from the company other than a dozen of free samples.
WAFU Japanese Vinaigrette comes in four flavors: Original, Original Light (43% less fat than Original), Ginger Carrot, and Wasabi Edamame.
To fully enjoy these salad dressings, I prepared my typical Japanese salad: Iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, sliced hard boiled eggs, wakame (seaweed), and kaiware daikon (Daikon radish sprouts).
We had previously tried Original flavor when my husband bought them from the Asian markets. One day, he was really craving the salad dressing Japanese restaurants in our area serve (typically on the salad with lunch and dinner specials). He was really happy he found off-the-shelf dressing that tasted similar. The Original dressing is very tasty. It's creamy and not too tangy. If you don't like sour dressings, you don't have to worry about that. We actually like a little bit of sourness in our dressings, but we still enjoy this dressing very much.
Then we moved on to Ginger Carrot flavor. We never tried this flavor before so we were very excited to try this one out. The dressing has beautiful orange color from the carrot and looks very appetizing on fresh greens. We poured this over on the same Japanese salad and surprisingly the taste was also recognizable. It's the same or similar flavor as the salad quite a few Japanese restaurants also serve. I could definitely taste the ginger flavor but it's not too strong that it overpowers the carrot. It's a great match from these two ingredients.
Lastly we tried Wasabi Edamame. If you are my frequent readers of my blog, you all know that my husband and I don't like wasabi. I know, I know, I might be the only Japanese grownup who refuses to eat wasabi when I eat sushi. Am I missing it out? It's okay, I really don't like the taste… But the first two dressings were really delicious so I tried Wasabi Edamame. Hm… I "can" eat it, so wasabi is not as strong as eating regular wasabi. But let's just say I rather stay out of the wasabi flavor. Edamame definitely made the wasabi taste milder, but if you don't like wasabi, you definitely can sense it's in the dressing.
Over all, we love the dressing very much, even the Light healthy version of the Original flavor. All these dressings are very creamy, yet they are surprisingly not heavy at all. The consistency of the cream is very thin, so the silky texture goes around the salad nicely and it's just the right amount of tanginess and sweetness. Since we enjoyed these dressing so much, I thought I should share some of the dressing that I received from the company since I could easily buy more from my nearest Japanese and Chinese supermarkets that I go often (They're not widely available in the US yet, but if you're in California you can find them in Japanese and Korean stores and in the San Francisco area. Molly Stone's will be carrying them. You can also order on amazon.com.).
YOU could win one of two sets of WAFU® Japanese Vinaigrette: one (1) set of Original (Light) & Ginger Carrot or one (1) set of Original (Light) & Wasabi Edamame.
