SELFeats: The Roasted Carrot Recipe That Everyone Will Be Talking About
The hardworking veggie gets dressed up (and might just steal the show).
Carrots are the workhorses of the vegetable drawer. They figure into almost anything from fresh-pressed juice recipes and crudités platters to chicken soup and your Sunday roast—and now, after years of being overlooked in favor of trendier veg (kale and broccoli rabe, we're looking at you) they're finally getting their day in the sun, showing up on menus at the best restaurants around town.
At Narcissa in NYC's East Village, you can sample carrot fries with jalepeno-tofu dip, while at The Breslin, April Bloomfield's gastropub in midtown Manhattan, they come roasted and presented in a Lincoln-Log-ish, rectangular stack. They were nothing short of revelatory: Sweet, earthy and meaty, with just a hint of char. I could have feasted on them alone.
We grow carrots upstate, but usually eat them cooked with beets and potatoes from the garden, plus a good amount of butter and whatever herbs we have on hand. It's a deliciously simple dish my husband created (credit goes where credit is due) and that we all enjoy, but it doesn't let the carrots shine.
Enter Seven Spoons, a cookbook from Tara O'Brady, a Canadian food blogger, that's coming out next week and available for pre-order. O'Brady's point of view is distinctly multicultural, especially when it comes to her treatment of vegetables. Think Japanese eggplant, Indian vegetable fritters and an Irish potato mash. Her carrot recipe, meanwhile, marries the smoky spice of North African cuisine with the vegetable's inherent sweetness.
O'Brady incorporates Dukkah, an Egyptian spice blend that includes hazelnuts, into the dish along with sesame seeds, coriander and cumin. You sprinkle it on top of the carrots once they are done slow roasting in olive oil and honey. The honey encourages caramelization; it's a trick I plan to use the next time I make sweet potato spears or roast curried cauliflower.
The last element of the recipe—the harissa aioli—is by far the most time consuming and difficult. The harissa itself takes an hour to make and requires the chopping, toasting and sautéing of many a spice and herb. The result was good and plentiful—I had hot sauce for days!—but it was the aioli that really opened my eyes. I'd never made aioli from scratch before, and had, honestly, never been much of a fan of the stuff. But fresh, homemade aioli is nothing like its bottled counterpart. And, unlike the harissa, it's incredibly easy. I made mine the easy way (out of admitted cooking fatigue) and whizzed garlic, egg yolk, olive oils and lemon together in my blender.
The creamy, fluffiness of the aioli and crunchy spice of the dukkah married magically with the mellow tenderness of the roasted carrots. I served them with a salad and pork chops from a local farm, but really, nobody remembers anything from that night but the carrots—and that tremendous aioli.
Roasted Carrots With Harissa Aïoli and Dukkah
The harissa-twirled aïoli that accompanies the carrots has heat and complexity, but with a blend of milder oils, it's not a bodacious personality on the plate. In fact, it plays quite nicely with the mellow sweetness of honey-roasted carrots, especially when those carrots are finished with the mix of nuts and earthy spices that make up the Egyptian spice blend called dukkah.
The aïoli can be prepared in a blender or food processor; however, with those methods, the resulting texture is denser than when done by hand. This recipe uses a whisk, but if you'd like the challenge, feel free to use a mortar and pestle. Aïoli is best the day it's made, and I like to keep it out of the refrigerator, so it is advisable to make the mayonnaise while the carrots roast and not much earlier.
A good-quality store-bought mayonnaise can always be used as the base for the aïoli, especially if there is a concern over using raw yolks. Simply stir the garlic, lemon juice, and harissa into 3/4 cup (180 g) of the prepared stuff.
Dukkah Ingredients:
3 tablespoons whole hazelnuts, skin on
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, white or black, or a mix
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Fine-grain sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 skinny carrots, trimmed of their tops and scrubbed clean
Extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup (180 g) Harissa Aïoli (recipe follows)
To make the dukkah, preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C) with a rack in the upper third of the oven.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts until lightly golden and aromatic, shaking the pan often, about 2 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a small bowl and set aside. Repeat the process with the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds, toasting each separately, then adding to the bowl with the hazelnuts. Let cool completely.
In a mortar and pestle or in a small food processor, process the spices and nuts into an unevenly textured mix. Season generously with salt and pepper.
On a sheet pan, toss the carrots with a light coating of the olive oil and honey, then season with salt and pepper. Roast the carrots, turning once, until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Arrange the carrots on a serving platter and sprinkle with as much dukkah as you'd like. Pass the aïoli at the table.
NOTE: The dukkah can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
Harissa Aïoli Ingredients
Makes about 3/4 cup (180 g)
2 cloves garlic, peeled, halved, and any green germ removed
Fine-grain sea salt
1 fresh egg yolk
1/4 cup (60 ml) mild extra-virgin olive oil or neutral-tasting oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) peppery extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons harissa (page 274)
Twist a damp kitchen towel into a rope and shape it into a ring on a work surface. Place a stainless steel bowl into the center, so the towel can anchor the bowl as you whisk. In the bowl, sprinkle the garlic with a pinch of salt, then crush the two into a paste with a pestle or fork. Remove half the garlic, reserving it for later.
Stir the egg yolk into the remaining garlic, then add a few drops of the mild olive oil, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk, slowly dripping in oil, until the mayonnaise begins to thicken. At this stage, you can start to incorporate the oil in a thin, steady stream, still whisking all the while. You may need to stop adding the oil every so often, then whisk vigorously to thicken the emulsion, then start again with the oil. Once the mild olive oil is fully blended in, move on to the more rugged one and whisk in. Stir in the lemon juice, and thin the mayonnaise with water, if necessary, to achieve your desired consistency. Check for seasoning, adding salt and pepper and the reserved garlic as needed. Then fold in the harissa paste. Cover and leave at cool room temperature for 30 minutes before using, or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

AC Milan are worried about their striker Antonio cassano, after the player is believed to have had a mini-stroke on the flight back to Milan from Rome.
AC ended up as 3-1 winners in a hard-fought battle in the Stadio Olympico, and were returning home on Sunday night when Cassano seemingly had a fit. He lost control of his speech and muscles, causing the club doctors and staff to be very concerned for him.
As soon as the flight touched down he was whisked away to a private hospital, where thankfully his condition has improved, and he is set to make a full recovery.
His team-mates will now have to face BATE in the Champions League without him, though he is not far from their thoughts.
Boss Allegri told the press "We'll be playing for Antonio. Quite apart from the sporting element, what counts most is the human aspect and we're all feeling sad.
"Antonio was doing well and he was in good shape and I hope he'll be back as soon as possible. The doctors are working on it, let's hope it all goes well.
"I can't diagnose him but he sounds fine. It was completely unexpected and has nothing to do with football. Let's leave it to the doctors and I think everything will be fine."


May 2013 Update from Sheldon Jones Micheal Neroni's solo.
It all started with Michael having a refresher flight to get re-acquainted with the Foxbat, and progressing well to get the hang of circuits and eventually on dealing with emergencies. By Friday he was doing circuits like a pro, but he was getting tired, so I was hoping for a nice day on Saturday.
Saturday was beautiful, with blue skies and light winds. After a few warm up circuits, I said "Time to do one on your own", and hopped out on the runway. There was another aircraft approaching the circuit, but I thought the timing would work out fine with Michael following the other aircraft in. His takeoff was smooth, and with the reduced weight (must lay off those cakes!) the Foxbat climbed like a homesick angel. The spacing was great and Michael's calls came through loud and clear. Michael was ready for the base leg, but the other aircraft had decided to do his circuit via West Wylong (said he took longer to slow down than expected), so Michael had to do a couple of orbits (he didn't seem to mind staying in the air a bit longer), before coming in to land. His approach was nice and smooth, his hold-off perfect and he landed the Foxbat solo for the first time.
Quincy and Janice, a couple of local residents and close followers of the Wheelies program, came down to congratulate Michael when he taxied in, after hearing him on the radio. They said he needed the aircraft cockpit all to himself to allow him to fit in his grin, which was still massive by the time I walked back to greet him.
Well done Michael, and congratulations again.
June 2012 Update from Michael Alston detailed report.
Thank you again for your support in getting me to fly solo. As I said when I was talking to you on the phone I really enjoyed flying solo. I now have made contact with a bloke that is in my area that may be interested in going in shares in an plane so I can continue flying. I am really keen to get to the next disabled pilots meeting. I thought it was a great bunch of people with some really inspirational stories.I will write an email to Lord Glendonbrook as soon as I get a chance to thank him also for his contribution as well.
sessions left which I hope to possibly get a RA license. I have thoroughly enjoyed all that I have done up to date and hope to carry on to passengers and navs. John Wade.
John Marshall - Came down for a trial run. Completed two hours in the Foxbat and is very enthusiastic to do more. He is able to fly the machine. He had some trouble getting in and out but got better with practice. He is booked in for a week in Moruya on the 28th February to complete his solo course.
Michael Alston - Suggested start date is April 19th to the 22nd for the solo course.
John Wade - Previously held a GA restricted license before a diving accident. Has now flown the Foxbat twice, is loving it and planning to do more shortly.
Steven Evans - Has come over from England (not one of the wheelies spronsored group), met everyone at the Disables Pilots Ascociation FLy-in in Griffith and have been flying in Moruya for the last few weeks, and last Friday went solo.
After his solo Brian was invited to join the WwW board.
Brian Wilson touches down smoothly after his first solo circuit!

Brain development is a complex and prolonged process that is not complete until adulthood in most mammals, including humans, and therefore the events that may contribute to altered functional outcome are as varied as the human experience and may occur at any time between gestation and adulthood. The goal of my research is to look at discrete changes in the environment (both internal and external) during brain development and evaluate their relevance to altered structural and functional outcome, such as in mental illness, autism, or developmental delay. In particular, our lab focuses on schizophrenia, which, although long considered a developmental disorder, is usually diagnosed in younger adults. Our lab utilizes a rodent model to investigate the purported link between of early life stress and later diagnosis with schizophrenia.
Science is a part of every moment of modern life, yet the majority of adults have very little understanding of how science shapes the world they live in, or how technology protects and provides for them. Despite society's increasing reliance on science and technology, misperceptions about scientists and the practice of science, decreased emphasis on science education at all levels, and the idea that science is "hard" have all contributed to a marked contrast in science literacy between scientists and laypersons. I am also interested in exploring questions of public science literacy, through education, outreach, and better communication by scientists.

Owners of 2018 model year Triumph Street Triple motorcycles should take note of the latest recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as it concerns 1,242 units from the British brand.
Affecting the R and RS Street Triple models, the recall stems from the left-hand side combination switch, which might malfunction when saturated by water. This can cause the turn signal switch and the headlight switch to malfunction.
A New Triumph Speed Triple is Coming…Finally!
I never thought this day would come, a day where Triumph finally updates its venerable Speed Triple. The three-cylinder streetfighter has long held its own, but it has also seen the super-naked category walk away from the British model over the past 13 years of its sloth.
Yes, there have been updates over the past decade or so, but the model hasn't strayed too far from its original form from 2005. That is set to change however, as a teaser video and CARB filings give us word that a new Triumph Speed Triple is on the way.
Judging from the video that Triumph released, we don't think that the new Speed Triple will be a revolutionary change. The chassis seems relatively similar to the previous edition, and the overall design seems roughly the same.
Meanwhile, CARB filings show that the engine size will remain 1050cc and that the trim levels will be designated as "R" and "RS". We can expect more power and other internal changes though, as Triumph chases machines like the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100.
Triumph wants you to know that it's getting ready for the 2019 Moto2 Championship, where the British company's three-cylinder engine will power the intermediate grand prix racing class.
Testing the engine, Triumph has mated the 765cc lump to its supersport machine, making it a Triumph Daytona 765. Getting some help from Moto2 rider Julian Simon, Triumph has been testing at Aragon, looking to evaluate the performance and durability of its middleweight engine.
"At this stage of the development program we are in a good place," said Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer for Triumph Motorcycles.
As expected, today we get to see the 2017 Triumph Street Triple, with its new engine capacity: 765cc. The new engine displacement comes from both an increase in bore and stroke on the iconic three-cylinder motor, with Triumph using a new crank, pistons, and barrels in its construction.
Three flavors of Triumph Street Triple will be available for 2017, with S, R, and RS-spec (above) machines being available, with obvious performance differences existing between the trim levels.
As such, peak horsepower will be 113hp (S), 118hp (R), and 123hp (RS) – a notable boost over the 675cc machine's 105hp. Meanwhile, peak torque has been improved from 50 lbs•ft, now to 53 lbs•ft (S) and 56 lbs•ft (R & RS).
All the models tip the scales at 166kg (dry) according to Triumph, which is a 2kg reduction over the outgoing model.
The rumor mill says that this video from Triumph is teasing us an "all new" Triumph Street Triple for the 2017 model year, which will see a displacement increase to 800cc.
The new bike is set to drop on January 10th, and promises to set "a new benchmark" in the streetfighter category. That is tough talk from a British brand that has let its modern sport bike offering languish over the past decade. But, we're intrigued.
We have seen a revival in the streetfighter category as of late though, so hopefully the folks at Hinckley are wise to that trend and not keen on seeing the iconic Street Triple and Speed Triple models slip further from the riding consciousness.
Like you, we look forward to seeing what debuts in a couple weeks' time. Hopefully it lives up to the hype — we're suckers for nakeds.
A wave of recalls are reaching the shores of motorcycle manufacturers, as brake maker Nissin has had to recall a number of its ABS units for a misaligned inlet valve, which could allow foregin particles into the fluid of the braking system, which could cause the ABS functionality to fail.
Triumph first discovered the defect, and reported it to Nissin, which in-turn notified its other affected OEMs. So far 5,766 motorcycles have been affected by the recall, comprising a total of four manufacturers (a list of the models is after the jump, with a link to the appropriate NHTSA posting). We will update this list if/when more model recalls are announced.
Triumph Motorcycles is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Triumph Daytona 675 and Triumph Street Triple motorcycles, along with certain 2012 Triumph Thunderbird and Triumph Thunderbird Storm motorcycles, for wheels that were assembled with bearings of an unknown quality.
Triumph is recalling 10,366 units of its 2006-2009 S Street Triple, Street Triple R, and Daytona 675 motorcycles for a faulty regulator/rectifier, which can overheat and prevent the motorcycle from charging properly, or at all. With the electrical system not charging the battery, the battery could fully discharge, and ultimately stall the motorcycle. As such, there is a risk of a crash and personal injury to the rider and/or passengers should the motorcycle stall because of the discharged battery.
Julien Welsch + Knobby Tires + Triumph Street Triple??!
If you want to end your Wednesday on a high-note, look no further than this video of Julien Welsch (Facebook & Twitter). Riding his Triumph Street Triple through woods enduro-style (yes, with knobbies and all), the famed stunt rider makes this fish-of-water look like its has lungs for gils.
Throw in some great photography, a dubstep soundtrack that doesn't make you want to bang your head against the wall, & some epic riding, and well…for three minutes and twenty-nine seconds you won't have anything bad to say about the French (je plaisantais mes amis!). In other news, somewhere in Leicestershire, a Triumph engineer is quietly sobbing.
British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph has really latched onto this whole spy photo concept, and its latest bike to be caught by the lenses of "spy photographers" is the 2013 Triumph Street Triple. Already getting a makeover like its larger sibling, the 2012 Triumph Speed Triple, the new Street Triple will keep its revised headlight shape (love it or hate it?), as well as other changes that include a low-slung exhaust, modified swingarm, and revised bodywork design.
Though we won't be certain until the 2013 Triumph Street Triple's official release, filings with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) indicate that the new Street Triple puts out the same emissions as the 2012 model. This could mean that the motor of the 2013 Street Triple has been untouched, or that Triumph has been able to squeak some more juice from the three-cylinder engine, while keeping emissions the same. We'll have to wait and see how that pans out, until then enjoy the photos after the jump.


We might be a little biased because we're from here. But, we think one of the best places to travel alone in the US is San Francisco. This is a city of singles. Dogs outnumber children. So, in a way, San Francisco is perfectly set up for solo travelers.
Green Tortoise Hostel is a popular hostel in San Francisco's Little Italy. Because a lot of solo travelers find themselves at hostels, we get a lot of solo travelers at our Dylan's Tours Bike Shop. Our shop in North Beach is super convenient location for San Francisco bike rentals. Since our bike shop is so close to waterfront, you can easily reach the Golden Gate Bridge in about an hour!
Many solo guests on Dylan's Famous Tour have squeezed in a tour while they're in town for a San Francisco convention. All of these travelers have something in common.
They all need ideas on things to do in alone in San Francisco.
So, we've rounded up some of our favorite unique San Francisco bars and fun places to explore for anyone traveling alone in SF!
Explore off-the-beaten-path on a San Francisco bike tour.
One of the best ways to explore San Francisco is by bike. Rent one of our bikes, and enjoy the day riding through the streets of the city. Our staff will make sure each rider receives a helmet, lock, detailed map, and directions, before you take off on your adventure. Click the link in our bio to find more information on our bike rentals.
One of our favorite things to do alone in San Francisco is to join a bike tour. When you're on a San Francisco bike tour, you'll be zipping through the city on a Pedego electric bike. Bikes often have dedicated paths and roadways that offer a secure way of exploring the city.
Dylan's Original City Loop Tour rides along the San Francisco waterfront. You'll bike through Fisherman's Wharf and past Ghirardelli Square. We'll take you on the best paths leading to the Golden Gate Bridge.
We stop for photos at the Golden Gate Bridge. You'll even have free time to walk some of the bridge on your own! Afterwards, take the scenic route past mansions looking out onto the Pacific Ocean. Ride through all four miles of Golden Gate Park and enjoy lunch in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. For lunch, choose from Mexican taquerias, burger joints, gourmet pizza slices and Vietnamese banh-mi sandwiches. There's even an amazing local grocery store with fresh deli sandwiches and sushi.
We'll stop at the iconic house from "Full House" with the downtown skyline in the background. Wind through Chinatown where red paper lanterns decorate the street poles and end your San Francisco bike tour in Little Italy.
Alternatively, if you're more interested in things to do in San Francisco by yourself you can also rent an e-bike out for the day and explore on your own!
Whether you choose a San Francisco bike tour or a bike rental, this is a great way to familiarize yourself with the city's most popular neighborhoods and sites.
Our Original City Loop tour has been voted the most fun way to explore the city. Come discover San Francisco with us!
Go to a roller disco at the Church of 8 Wheels.
One of the most unusual things to do in San Francisco has got to be roller skating in an old church! Just down the road from the iconic house from "Full House" at Alamo Square is an old church with a giant disco ball.
The Church of 8 Wheels is in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood, so solo female travelers in San Francisco should feel comfortable spending a night out here.
Cruise by after 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays when the event becomes an adults only event — no one under 18 allowed. The age restrictions in the evening make this one of the fun things to do in San Francisco at night!
Crashing of #waves are always so #peaceful.
Take a scenic hike through Lands End at the western end of the city to discover a stoned labyrinth on a rocky overhang facing the Golden Gate Bridge. Use our guide to hiking in San Francisco to help navigate your way to the Lands End Labyrinth.
Be sure to bring a jacket. No matter how warm it may seem, the western side of San Francisco is notoriously windy when you're on the waterfront facing the Pacific Ocean. Don't worry, the view is definitely worth it!
Try pizza from the only American to ever win the World Pizza Cup.
Tony's Pizza Napoletana is one best places to eat in Washington Square Park in San Francisco's Little Italy. Pizza is the perfect way to refuel after your San Francisco bike tour. However, if you're on a solo trip to San Francisco you can skip the line at Tony's Pizza and instead head next door to Slice House by Tony Gemgnani which serves up slices to go.
Tony Gemignani, the man behind the pizza, is internationally recognized as the only American pizza maker to win World Pizza Cup Champion in Naples, Italy. A feat Tony has repeated a few times over!
Slice House in North Beach sits on the corner of Washington Square Park, a park long considered the backyard of Little Italy. If the weather is nice, take your slice to the parklette outside.
Parklettes are miniparks that fit in 1-3 parking spaces on the street — a unique San Francisco solution to creating public spaces in cramped areas.
Sneak into a speakeasy disguised as The Library with the password "books".
Having a drink at a speakeasy in San Francisco – bucket list item checked off.
Buzz the bell for Bourbon & Branch — a speakeasy with a front as the Anti-Saloon League of San Francisco. Tell the person at the door "books" and they will shuffle you inside and lead to a speakeasy, hidden within a speakeasy. This has got to be one of the most unique things to do in San Francisco!
San Francisco played a huge role in smuggling illicit booze from Canada during the American Prohibition on Alcohol.
Secret underground tunnels were dug out beneath sections of the Old Barbary Coast, Little Italy and Chinatown to help smuggle booze from ships at the waterfront to speakeasies — bars masquerading as normal businesses that required passwords for entry to where alcohol was being served.
Bourbon & Branch has helped this revival of speakeasy themed bars serving up classic cocktails in beautifully decorated bars that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The Library is lined with floor to ceiling books, leather arm chairs and incredible craft cocktails.
We get that going to a bar alone can be intimidating. However, going to any bar run by the owners of Bourbon & Branch offers such a unique experience that it is much more than your typical bar experience. Once you've ordered a craft cocktail, pull a book off the shelf. Then you'll be able to settle into one of the plush chairs for the full Library experience!
Tour Alcatraz, America's most infamous island prison.
Join a combo San Francisco bus tour, a Muir Woods tour and boat to Alcatraz with Dylan's A Day in the Bay Tour.This all day tour is the ultimate way for anyone traveling to San Francisco alone to see as much as possible in a single day.
If you're going to join a tour while visiting San Francisco as a solo traveler, we always suggest joining a tour that is packed with a lot of activities and photo stops to keep everyone in the group busy.
An action packed tour that offers time to go hiking in Muir Woods, a long lunch break in Sausalito and unlimited time on Alcatraz is the perfect option for solo travelers.
Ride one of the only moving historical monuments in the country.
Come visit San Francisco, and take a ride on our iconic cable cars! Tag who you want to explore San Francisco with.
If you've been wondering what to do in San Francisco alone, be sure to add riding a cable car to your list!
San Francisco cable cars have been one of the best ways of getting up our notorious steep hills since the 1860s. Massive steel cables run underground and the cable car hitches a ride on them. Essentially, they kind of work like an underground ski lift.
There are two main cable car lines you'll want to consider. The first is the Powell-Hyde line. This cable car runs from Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf. If you're trying to see the famous Crooked Street on Lombard, you'll want to take the Powell-Hyde Cable Car.
The second most popular line is the California Line. This line runs from the Financial District and through Chinatown to the top of Nob Hill. You'll find some of the most stunning San Francisco hotels on the top of this hill as well as some amazing views since you're so high up!
San Francisco's Ferry Building sits at the end of Market Street and overlooks the Bay. This ferry terminal is the main thoroughfare for those looking to take the scenic route to Oakland in the East Bay. In addition, you'll find ferry service to Sausalito and Tiburon in the North Bay.
In the early 2000s the Ferry Building got a face lift and has become the epicenter for foodie culture in the city.
Head over with an empty stomach and use our guide to creating a Ferry Building picnic to help you navigate. Or you can always take a guided food tour of the Ferry Building!
Now hear us out. We know that neither restaurants nor cinemas are typical hangouts for solo travelers. However, we think we the two are combined they create a unique welcoming internment for those looking for things to do alone in San Francisco. Dining alone is always easier with a movie!
Foreign Cinema is not your average restaurant since they screen movies off their wall in the backyard. We wouldn't quite call it a movie theater either, unlike the much more casual Alamo Drafthouse which serves food and beer in movie theater setting.
Be sure to try to grab an seat outdoors for the best viewing of movies being projected on the wall of the back patio. Don't let any inclimate weather intimidate you either! You'll find both outdoor heaters and an overhang for protection from wind and rain.
Foreign Cinema has been around for almost 20 years now and has helped but the Mission District on the map as the culinary center of the city. If you're looking for a unique dining experience as one of your things to do alone in San Francisco, this is it!
Taste a drink created in San Francisco — the Mai Tai.
Mai Tais might be synonymous with tiki bars and coconuts. Despite that, Mai Tais are a distinctly San Francisco creation. Well, an Oakland creation to be exact. Trader Vic's, just across the Bay Bridge in the East Bay, created the infamous tiki drink back in the early 50s.
Nearly 70s years later tiki culture is still thriving in San Francisco. For example, the Tonga Room in the luxurious Fairmont Hotel is the kitchiest tiki bar in San Francisco.
The Tonga Room is dominated by a junior Olympic sized swimming pool that has been converted into a lagoon. Consequently, the band actually plays from a boat floating in the lagoon! "Thunderstorms" also take place within the bar and all drinks are served in novelty coconut shells.
One of the oldest dive bars in Chinatown is Li Po Cocktail Lounge, claims to have created the Chinese Mai Tai. To clarify, Li Po isn't really a tiki bar. Nevertheless, their Chinese Mai Tais makes for a really fun addition to any DIY Chinatown tour!
Alternatively, you'll find a lot of locals at Smuggler's Cove arguably one of the coolest tiki bars in the city. Here, you'll find impressive rum selection with an incredible authentic tiki and nautical interior. Rum lovers *must* include Smuggler's Cove on their list of things to do alone in San Francisco because this is the premiere destination for rum and rum based cocktails.

LTC Emergency Preparedness and COVID-19 Testing and Reporting Protocol Rules Linked: Noncompliance Can Be Costly
Home / LTC Emergency Preparedness and COVID-19 Testing and Reporting Protocol Rules Linked: Noncompliance Can Be Costly
September 14, 2020. This article highlights the importance of long-term care (LTC) assisted living and skilled nursing facilities having a documented CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule plan in place as a Medicare Conditions of Participation survey and certification framework that is linked to the CMS Testing and Reporting Requirements published in the Federal Register earlier this month.
Emergency Rules. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency (PHE) on January 31, 2020, under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.); and President Trump issued two national emergency declarations under the Stafford Act and the National Emergencies Act (NEA) on March 13, invoked emergency powers via Executive Order under the Defense Production Act on March 18, and named the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as the lead agency in the COVID-19 emergency response, all of which actions in an effort to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus and protect the economy against its mounting impact.
The Secretary of HHS, on behalf of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) in the Federal Register on September 2, 2020, effective that date, that:
Revises regulations to strengthen the CMS' ability to enforce compliance with Medicare and Medicaid long-term care (LTC) facility requirements for reporting information related to COVID-19;
Establishes a new requirement for LTC facilities for COVID-19 testing of facility residents and staff;
Establishes requirements for all CLIA laboratories to report COVID-19 test results to the Secretary of HHS in such form and manner, and at such timing and frequency as the Secretary may prescribe during the PHE.
The Secretary of HHS, on behalf of CMS, in compliance with the Emergency Preparedness Final Rules of 2016 and 2019, requires LTCs, at 42 CFR 483.73, to evaluate infectious disease hazards and implement and document policies and procedures to mitigate such hazards as a condition of participation (CoP) as part of the annual survey and certification process.
Linkage. The IFR testing and reporting provisions not only require compliance with the IFR on their own, but also require compliance under the Emergency Preparedness Rules as mitigation policies and procedures from an "all hazards" risk assessment requirement of an infectious disease risk of a PHE declaration. The direct link is through the IFR survey and certification process of the Emergency Preparedness policy and procedure at 42 CFR 483.73(b)(6):
(b) Policies and procedures. The LTC facility must develop and implement emergency preparedness policies and procedures, based on the emergency plan set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, risk assessment at paragraph (a)(1) of this section, and the communication plan at paragraph (c) of this section. The policies and procedures must be reviewed and updated at least annually. At a minimum, the policies and procedures must address the following: …
(6) The use of volunteers in an emergency or other emergency staffing strategies, including the process and role for integration of State or Federally designated health care professionals to address surge needs during an emergency.
CMS published on August 26, 2020, a document that outlined Additional Policy and Regulatory Revisions in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency related to Long-Term Care (LTC) Facility Testing Requirements and Revised COVID-19 Focused Survey Tool. The addendum to that document, dated August 25, 2020, and entitled: COVID-19 Focused Survey for Nursing Homes, has a section, #9, entitled: Emergency Preparedness—Staffing in Emergencies, for which the surveyor is to ask the following questions pertaining to compliance:
Policy development: Does the facility have a policy and procedures for ensuring staffing to meet the needs of the residents when needed during an emergency, such as COVID-19 outbreak?
Policy implementation: In an emergency, did the facility implement its planned strategy for ensuring staffing to meet the needs of the residents?
Did the facility develop and implement policies and procedures for staffing strategies during an emergency? If no, the survey refers to E-0024, which is the Emergency Preparedness survey instructions pertaining to the Emergency Preparedness Rule at 42 CFR 483.73(b)(6):
E-0024 is from CMS's State Operations Manual: Appendix Z—Emergency Preparedness for All Provider and Certified Supplier Types, Interpretive Guidance. The content pertaining to LTCs is the following:
During an emergency, a facility may need to accept volunteer support from individuals with varying levels of skills and training. The facility must have policies and procedures in place to facilitate this support. In order for volunteering healthcare professionals to be able to perform services within their scope of practice and training, facilities must include any necessary privileging and credentialing processes in its emergency preparedness plan policies and procedures. Non-medical volunteers would perform non-medical tasks.
Facilities have flexibility in determining how best to utilize volunteers during an emergency as long as such utilization is in accordance with State law, State scope of practice rules, and facility policy. These may also include federally designated health care professionals, such as Public Health Service (PHS) staff, National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) medical teams, Department of Defense (DOD) Nurse Corps, Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), or personnel such as those identified in federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) to include licensed primary care medical, dental, and mental/behavioral health professionals. Facilities are also encouraged to collaborate with State-established volunteer registries, and where possible, State-based Emergency System for Advanced Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR- VHP).
Facilities are expected to include in its emergency plan a method for contacting off-duty staff during an emergency and procedures to address other contingencies in the event staff are not able to report to duty which may include, but are not limited to, utilizing staff from other facilities and state or federally-designated health professionals.
Survey Procedures
Verify the facility has included policies and procedures for the use of volunteers and other staffing strategies in its emergency plan.
Penalties for Noncompliance with the Emergency Preparedness and IFR Testing and Reporting Rules. Chapter 7 of the State Operations Manual provides the Survey and Enforcement Process for Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing Facilities. Section 7301 provides "action when facility is not in substantial compliance," including substantial civil monetary penalties (CMP). Below are excerpts of provisions:
7301.1- Immediate Jeopardy Exists
The Medicare regional office or State Medicaid Agency will impose termination and/or temporary management in as few as 2 calendar days after the survey which determined immediate jeopardy.
The Medicare regional office or State Medicaid Agency may impose a civil money penalty between $3,050 and $10,000 per day of immediate jeopardy or a "per instance" civil money penalty from $1,000 to $10,000 for each deficiency.
The State will require an acceptable plan of correction for all deficiencies cited after it conducts the revisit to confirm removal of the immediate jeopardy.
7301.2 – Immediate Jeopardy Does Not Exist
CMS or the State must determine whether the facility will be given an opportunity to correct its deficiencies before remedies are imposed.
The regional office or State Medicaid Agency should impose another remedy in addition to termination for a facility not being given an opportunity to correct.
The regional office or State Medicaid Agency terminates the Medicare and/or Medicaid provider agreements that are in effect no later than 6 months from the date of the survey that determined noncompliance if noncompliance still exists.
When there is an opportunity to correct before remedies are imposed, the State will request an acceptable plan of correction.
The regional office or State Medicaid Agency may impose either a per day civil money penalty between $50 and $3,000 per day or a "per instance" civil money penalty between $1,000 and $10,000 for each deficiency.
Summary. As stated earlier and demonstrated above, the IFR testing and reporting protocols not only require compliance with the IFR on their own, but also require compliance under the Emergency Preparedness Rules as mitigation policies and procedures from an "all hazards" risk assessment requirement of an infectious disease risk of a public health emergency (PHE) declaration. The direct link is through the IFR survey and certification process of the Emergency Preparedness policy and procedure at 42 CFR 483.73(b)(6). Consequently, a facility would be subject to the civil money penalties (CMP) above should a survey find the facility noncompliant for the Emergency Preparedness Rule or IFR testing and reporting protocols, or both; and subject to non-certification as a participant in Medicare or Medicaid programs, or both.
CAIPHI has designed its mobile, cloud-based platform, CyPHIprepare®, as a data and documentation management tool for demonstrating compliance with the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule and for tracking COVID-19 test reporting as required by the IFR. You can see a short 3-minute demonstration of the functionality of CyPHIprepare® at: WATCH.

Amazing food and couldn't fault the service, lovely experience will definitely be coming back.
Great service and fantastic food, lovely ambience we will be back.
Superb quality of food & choice.
Gorgeous food, very friendly and attentive service. Will definitely be back!
Our waitress was amazing, the food was delicious and we had an lovely evening here! We will be recommending the Giggling Squid to everyone.
Lively, nicely decorated restaurant with imaginative, authentic food. The wine list has a great selection of reasonably priced wines too.
Food was amazing but let down by service. When it got busy halfway through the meal the service team was too stretched. Up to that point the service they provided was great but we felt forgotten. Apart from that, it was a lovely meal.
I usually love it here so bought friends over for my birthday. We walked and we're not seen to for over 10/15 minutes. Once seated nobody offered us a drink for over 20 minutes and then two dishes didn't come out with the rest. Very bad service Saturday night. Food was great as always though.
Very noisy and tables very close together.
Food and drink were lovely apart from dessert which I had to send back. I had two mango juices, one was brought out to the table already in the glass the other came in the bottle and was not poured. I picked the bottle up to shake it and someone had un-done the top and it spilt over the side of the table. No one came over to help, I had to ask for napkins, and then multiple times staff saw the soaking napkins on the side but didn't say or do anything. We also had empty glasses at some points during the evening. I felt the money warranted the food apart from dessert but the service nowhere near matched it. We therefore left feeling that it was overpriced.
The food is the best I have tasted! Having travelled around Thailand and also trying many restaurants locally... this is the best!
Excellent food and service. Will be back.
Monday night to very quiet. Excellent food, Penang red chicken curry, red curry large prawns.

Q: array of strings to tree data structure? There is data returned from server containing an array of strings as hierarchy like this:
var array = [
 "house.bedroom.bed",
 "house.kitchen.spoon",
 "house.kitchen.knife",
 "house.bedroom.sofa",
 "house.bedroom.tv",
 "plants.trees",
 "house.birds.parrot.grey"
 ]

i have successful made a tree data structure as object out of it to make Output the data in tree form below:
  house
    bedroom
      bed
      sofa
      tv
    kitchen
      spoon
      knife
    birds
      parrot
        grey
  plants
    trees

and is there any way to pick a string? for example of asked "kitchen" i want to return all related to that string like this:
house.kitchen.knife
house.kitchen.spoon

Here the codes that i learned:
function find([key, values], string, temp = []) {
    var result;
    temp = temp.concat(key);
    if (key === string) {
        return temp.slice(1).join('.');
    }
    values.some(a => result = find(a, string, temp));
    return result;
}

var result = array.reduce((r, s) => {
        ('root.' + s).split('.').reduce((a, item) => {
            var array = a.find(([v]) => v === item);
            if (!array) {
                a.push(array = [item, []]);
            }
            return array[1];
        }, r);
        return r;
    }, []).pop();

console.log(find(result, 'kitchen'));
console.log(result);

my output is:
house.kitchen

A: I propose to filter the original array

const data = ["house.bedroom.bed","house.kitchen.spoon", "house.kitchen.knife","house.bedroom.sofa","house.bedroom.tv",
 "plants.trees","house.birds.parrot.grey"];

 const result = data.filter((path) => path.split('.').includes('kitchen'));

 console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper{min-height: 100%!important; top: 0}

A: I believe I understand what you're asking. I would solve this problem with recursion.
function parse(items) {
   return items.reduce((acc, item) => {
      const k = item.slice(0, item.indexOf('.'))
      const v = item.slice(item.indexOf('.') + 1).split('.')

      const newItem = {
        [k]: v.length > 1 ? parse(v) : v
      }

      return Object.assign(acc, newItem)
   }, { })
}

This is not a complete solution but should get the general idea across. For each item in the array, split it off into a key and a value. The key will be the string before the first ., and the value with either be the single string after that ., or an object containing children.

The worst enemies in a young person's life aren't the problems they may face, Pope Francis said. The biggest dangers are being unwilling to find a way to adapt, mediocrity by settling for the status quo, and fear, he said at his general audience in St. Peter's Square.
"It is necessary to ask the heavenly father for the gift of healthy restlessness for today's young people, the ability to not settle for a life without beauty, without colour. If young people are not hungry for an authentic life, where will humanity end up?" he said.
As the pope spoke to the crowd of 15,000 people, he was flanked on either side by 10 children wearing bright yellow baseball caps. He had invited them to temporarily leave behind their parish group pilgrimage in the square and follow him to the platform in front of the basilica to be part of his VIP entourage for the morning.
The pope said he was beginning a new series of audience talks on the Ten Commandments and how Jesus leads people from the law to its fulfilment.
Unfortunately, the pope said, some people believe this restlessness, this desire to live a better life is too dangerous and should be tamped down.
"I would like to say, especially to young people, our worst enemy is not concrete problems" no matter how serious or tragic they may be.
"Where will humanity end up with young people who are tame (and) not restless?" he asked.
Referring to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati's insistence that it is better to live fully than to just get by, the pope asked the crowd whether a kid who is "mediocre has a future or not." The pope agreed with their answer, "No. He just sits there. He doesn't grow" and mature.
This invitation to leave behind everything and follow the Lord, is "not a proposal of poverty, but of riches," the real treasure of everlasting life, he said.
If told to choose between having "the original" or just a copy, who would choose just a copy, the pope asked.
"Here's the challenge: to find the original, not the copy. Jesus doesn't offer substitutes, but offers real life, real love, real wealth," he said.
It is difficult to see why young people would choose then to follow those Christians who are not choosing "the original, if they see us putting up with half measures. It is terrible to encounter Christians who only go halfway, dwarf Christians who only grow a certain height and have a tiny, closed heart," he said.
Young people need the example of Christians who invite them to grow, "to go beyond" and look for more.

Interactions between people, friend and foe, help shape our thoughts, ideas, and who we are as individuals. Some are barely acquaintances, whereas others might know our deepest secrets. These relationships can be positive or negative and have differing degrees of closeness.
Has your character developed a lasting relationship with someone else that they feel has affected who they are? If the relationship is/was negative, do they feel the relationship can be mended? Has anyone betrayed their trust? What, to your character, is something that would immediately break the relationship beyond repair?
Adromada, kind in appearance, has had trust issues since she was a child. Along with not having her mother as a child. Her father Agus was stripped away from her at the age of 12; who later died in battle. Adro had been sent to the orphanage per her fathers instructions and was gratefully aloud to keep her wolf pet Nightfang. During her years at the orphanage she had attempted to make friends with the other children. All the younger children of course thought of her as someone cool. With her hunting skills and craftiness with leather,(all skills her father taught her) she was able to help feed the children and provide some coin so that they would live a little more comfortably. The older children how ever shunned her. The elder girls thought of her as improper. "A lady shouldnt ever weild a weapon let alone do the job of a man" they would always tell her. The elder boys felt intimidated by adro and grew jealous of her. Some of the older children even bullied her, for she was to different than what a normal girl was supposed to be.
So when adro came back from hunting she would help the adults with the little kids. When she needed someone to talk to she would turn to Nightfang, her only true friend in her mind. year after year she watched children come and go. No parent wanted to adopt adro. Soon her confindence in people started to dwindle. Eventually she lost all trust in anyone older than her, but when it came to the younger children of the orphanage she would do anything for them. One would almost say adro kinda mothered them.
When she turned 18, the time had come for a suitor, but instead of trying to find one she went to enlist in the military for a couple years. Soon, due to her sense of abandonment and lack of trust. She began to rebel against her officers and later quit. Now 24 she has grown into a fine huntress. For work she continues to craft leather gear for soldiers, and from time to time do a little mercenary work. On her off time she goes to the orphanage in Stormwind to visit and donate most of the coin she has earned. In her mind this is her duty in life. She had no mother growing up so she would do what she can for the children of the orphanage.
Adro still awaits the day for a person she could trust. A Person that she can open her whole heart to, release her fears, let them completely into her life. Will that day ever come? She doubts it. Still optimistic but doubtful.
Azrexil closes his heavy tome in frustration, notes and drawings of new summoning circles laid out around the book. He piles them up neatly and glaces over at the stack of worn love letters on his desk.
His shadow leans over his shoulder and picks them up, "You haven't read these in a while you know." His shadow places them in front of him. "I bet she misses you."
Azrexil picks up a few, and after a minute, places them back down on the table. "I know." He whispers.
The dry and scorched dirt crunched under his metal clad boots. The remains of a charred and smoldering building stands to his left. Across the once vibrant town square, a women in dark robes faces him. The chains across his chest, the ones wrapped around his waist, dragging in the dirt feel weightless to him. His scythe as light as a feather.
"This ends here dreadlord." Azrexils voice is calm and commanding. "Leave her and face me. This is between us." The green fire licking up the blade of the scythe burns brighter, the scar across his face glows with a new intensity.
"Oh I think not warlock. I know your species. As long as I inhabit her...you won't harm me. You can chase me to the end of the world, but you'll never harm her." A sick laugh escapes the women, as she takes a step forward. "All this...destruction, all this power, and you didn't leave a scratch on her. Your power doesn't frighten me."
Azrexil looks down at his hand, his ring with its black metal band, now turned a slight green colour. He looks up at his wife, standing defiantly across the square. Her ring, still black on her finger. He takes a deep breath and focuses his anger and grief into a single bolt of dark fel energy.
"You do know she understands what you did, right? She was in so much agony having that dreadlord control her. She would have done the same to you. You know that right?" His shadow places its hand softly on Azrexil's shoulder.
"I know." He whispers softly to his shadow.
He's used to her carelessness. Bruises and scrapes are par for the course. She doubts he even notices them these days. By sheer misfortune there is now an arrow in her shoulder and that he certainly did notice, even from deep in the throes of a blood rage. Gul'dan has fled, but the Iron Horde still has boots on the ground and the more entrepreneurial adventurers are more than happy to put an end to them, too. So Lyhanna was shot. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Okay: so the shaft was some sort of metal and she couldn't break it with her hands; Durelian had to freeze and splinter it and light that had hurt. The cold was worse than the force of it snapping and being pulled through – like literal ice had been shot into her veins. He had made a face that was probably supposed to be apologetic but it turned into a grimace when she has scrubbed her hands over her eyes to hide the tears. It's all building frustration and the most bitter anger that even in the shameful moments where she thinks 'I want to go home' it's just impossible. Her longing for home is ephemeral and hopeless. He feels her anger and pain and accepts it like his own.
It's the rest that she tries to hide.
She did try to go home. Just once, to precipitate her brother's death. As the last remnant of the line she made the official declaration that there would be no more. The bannermen and representatives gathered to say their apologies and wish her well, when just days before any one of them would have had her head just to receive a pat on the head. Lyhanna had smiled and been gracious as it was expected, and silently celebrated in her mind every time someone's eyes flinched away from Durelian. Something should make them fear. Someone should teach them that playing at politics when there's a war on is a fool's game. The weight of her distaste for the whole situation had made it easy to leave behind the only home she had really known.
The desire to reach out and take something that won't otherwise be offered is perhaps a family trait. Lyhanna is very good at wanting to say and do and posses things that she can't possibly.
Once Durelian has her back in Lunarfall, once he is fairly sure she won't run off and do something foolish, he relaxes enough to let her out of his sight. He's made certain the only possible danger to Lyhanna here is Lyhanna, and only really allows that because he can't keep her still long enough to wrap her in blankets and rope. If he wonders why she doesn't heal her shoulder he doesn't ask, just watches when she runs a curious finger over the ragged hole.
It does hurt, but that's sort of the point. As long as that's at the forefront of her concentration she can think on things without the possibility of Durelian prodding at the undercurrent of other emotions. Pain makes people sad and grumpy and all sorts of things and Lyhanna has never been above letting him know when she's in pain. He probably finds it endearing. If he can.
That's really the crux of the problem, when you get down to it.
She sits on she shores of Shadowmoon with her bare feet buried in the white sand of another world and tries to make sense of her life. It's austere and peaceful and she can see the world she was born on hanging in the sky like a reminder of everything that's gone wrong. Or is it the same world? She doesn't really know. It wasn't in the vacation guidebook, okay? This is a stupid thing to be upset about. Back up.
The little ball of sensation in the back of her mind that links her to Durelian reminds her that she doesn't have forever, so she reaches to her shoulder and scratches lightly, watching dried blood flake away like rust before pinching the corner of the abused tissue and tugging viciously. She gasps at the tearing sensation, then has to suppress a chuckle. If there's one thing she's gotten really good at in her years it's taking a body apart and putting it back together. Just ride it out. Okay.
He'll probably just assume she doesn't want him to see her be weak and it's not wholly incorrect. More blood flakes away and new wells up around her fingernails. There's always some satisfaction that comes with a job well done, and since the job was to make her conscious mind focus on the pain, well... Lyhanna folds her arms and stares at the foreign tide. She remembers dreaming about having to find an elf, but there are lots of elves and dreams are non-specific just to be inconvenient. There's the tall ones, and the smaller ones, and some that are trolls and not elves at all. She knew that the elf would keep her safe and happy and she would be cared for. That was probably misinterpreted, looking back. It's probably due in part to the fact that she's a child, or that she cares about people too quickly, or any number of other things that the logical part of her mind says are all really good reasons to just not dwell on this at all. It's a conclusion she's been trying very hard not to come to for awhile.
She might be in love with Durelian.
Obviously the solution would be to find someone else to fixate on and pretend to like them more but her mind is cluttered enough with all the acting. They've never been intimate, except every day because living in someone else's head is probably the most intimate thing she can even imagine, and the idea of trying to even hold hands with or kiss someone else seems wrong because he'll always be right there. And that's not fair to anyone.
With a little forethought this wouldn't have been an issue. Good job, Hanna, you've chosen to tie your life to someone who can literally never return your feelings. That's got to be some kind of record or something, if she just knew who kept track of the worst plans ever. And god that is just not the point.
She briefly and desperately wants to be drunk or some other form of incoherence. Go with what you have, right? Peeling away at another bit of flesh to stop her mind entirely, Lyhanna pulls her knees to her chest, rests her head in her arms and closes her eyes to wait.

France's Riots Are About Macrón's Representation, Or Lack Thereof.
Julio Gonzalez, M.D., J.D.
Yesterday, I watched an incredibly insightful interview by Christianne Amanpour with the Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, a link to which I have posted in our new and growing Library. Szijjarto demonstrated incredible composure as he warded off repeated assaults from Amanpour on Hungarian nationalism and the country's immigration policies. And I also noticed one other thing; no one is rioting in Budapest.
As previously reported in "The Federalist Pages," the Paris, gilet jaunes riots, so called because of the yellow vests worn by demonstrators, are a direct result of President Emmanuel Macrón's decision to raise fuel taxes by the equivalent of 0.25¢ per gallon on gasoline that already costs the equivalent of $6.00 per gallon. Macrón's decision is openly based on his perceived need to cut down on gas consumption in order to fight off global warming. The reality is that France accounts for about 2% of the world's oil consumption, and it is already second only to the United States in nuclear power production. So, to say that Macrón's fuel tax is going to make any difference in the world's carbon footprint defies reality.
There must be another reason that drives Macrón to raising fuel taxes.
Macrón is a globalist. More importantly, Macrón is strongly pro-European Union. It is very possible that his policy positions on global warming and carbon footprints are overtures designed to appease the interests of the members of the European Union in an effort to strengthen his position there in anticipation of a post-presidential position.
But Macrón has been too eager to abandon the interests of his own constituency. Macrón is viewed as the president of the rich, and his green tax incentives are not seen by the French as altruistic efforts for the betterment of the world order, but rather as a self-indulgent effort by the President of the rich. French citizens appropriately view his fuel taxes as disproportionately impacting the poor and middle classes, a perception confirmed by the New York Times in its recent report on the French's reaction to the fuel tax. In fact in a poll conducted on Saturday, after the initiation of the French riots, gilet jaunes carried a 72% approval rating among the French. Scenes of the French police and firemen removing their covers in solidarity with the demonstrators that have been flowing through social media validate that impression.
It is interesting that these events should come in the heels of Macrón's harsh criticisms of President Trump and his strongly "nationalistic" views. In his zeal to criticize the American President, Macrón has actually revealed a much more threatening truth about his priorities to the French people, Macrón does not value the importance of representing the interests of France in the world stage. In fact, he would rather have France suffer through painful measures such as exorbitant green taxes to appease the needs of others over the needs of the French.
Indeed, in making his case, Macrón openly conflated the context in which President Trump uses the word "nationalism." President Trump's "nationalism" is philosophy upholding the societal benefits of the nation-state in international and domestic policies. Macrón's contention that that the term "nationalism" even as used by Trump, denoted the arrogant, ethnocentric view of believing in the superiority one's race even if it means the eradication of all others.
It is clear, that Trump's call for a healthy sense of nationalism and patriotism is inconsistent with the false charge made by President Macrón at the 100 years anniversary of the Armistice ending World War I.
After having failed to make the case against President Trump, the implication of Macrón's globalist philosophies and the lack of regional representation they beget played themselves out in a hostile and painful manner in the City of Lights, which has lately become the City of Bonfires.
Yes, the gilet jaunesriots are about abusive tax policies. They are also about ramming a green agenda down the throats of the people when they can ill afford to comply despite the futility of the actions they are being asked to undertake. But they are also an anti-antinationalist movement that recognizes the precarious position in which a population is placed when its leader does not uphold his or her nation's priorities.
It is evident that Hungary recognizes this truth, much to Christiane Amanpour's chagrin. And France has not, much to the chagrin of its own citizenry.

Dr. Gonzales, you are truly a man of the world (in a good sense)knowledgeable about economics, science, and common sense. To elaborate further, this is why our wise President pulled us out of the Paris accords. We all must believe in climate change, and our planet has had 5 ice ages and therefore if we are not in an ice age then we must be in Global warming. Hence, it is difficult to argue that Global warming does not and did not exist. HOWEVER, all of the other Global warming occured before man ever set foot on the planet. Therefore it is difficult TO CLAIM THAT THIS IS MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING. But again as U pointed out, France is 2% of the problem and participates in bull feces, hurting its poor, and not helping the world.
If in fact the problem is CO2 production, then it is fact that China produces 2.5 times the amount of CO2 as the USA. Finally the health and wealth of a nation, as well as its most important mental health, depends on the employment of its people. And we as a nation have relatively clean industries and to participate in the Paris feces of the bull. was hurting us more than helping the world. God Bless our POTUS and the USA.
Paul Reese
Yes, the people outside of the larger metropolitan areas have been disempowered with the recent elections, the difference is that they do not have an electoral college. That alone works to keept citizens away from the government table which decides to make rules on how to run your life knowing that all along you are being required to pay more for the mere privilege of making less money while supporting a growing parasitic population of outsiders and bureaucrats. What has become evident to many is that government is imposing economic rules based on the discretion of green energy demands and the people must accept the limits imposed on them both socially, economically regardless of the problems it creates. The are French citizens who hold jobs outside of the metropolitan areas and as such have finally placed such disregard to their lives in moral terms.....
and that in itself is revolutionary.

One of our key focus areas at Faith River is to build strong church family relationships. We continually strive to be a church that is warm and welcoming. While some of our adult ministries seek to provide care and support, others simply aim to develop friendships by working and playing together with friends inside and outside the church community. Newcomers are always welcome and encouraged to join in. Following are a variety of ministries in which you may want to become involved – keep updated with specific events through our website calendar.
Adult Gathering is a small group setting that enhances the Sunday worship experience through teaching and discussion of relevant biblical topics. September-June at 9:30-10:15 am with the exception of some holidays. We believe in the Holy Spirit's presence to help us communicate with love and discern with wisdom. We encourage scholarly teaching and effective methods in facilitating the learning process.
We desire to know scripture deeply - a local paraphrase of Colossians 3:16-17 might read "Make sure the teachings of Jesus take root in your life, and be earnest and sincere in how you (plural) teach and learn from one another. Use creative and beautiful teaching methods that inspire you and remind you to always be thankful for what Christ has given. As individuals and as a faith community, you are diverse in your commitments and activities - my prayer is that Christ remain central in and to all you do."
Faith River Conversational English Class is a group of loving people from the church congregation who provide a relational environment and a comfortable setting in which international people, whose native language is not English, can practice their English skills with native English speakers. We hope they will explore and relate to Canadian culture, and build deep friendships with church Christians and students who attend the class, through cultural teaching, discussion, and reading God's Word. The class goes from 9:00 to 10:15 every Sunday morning from September to June, providing transportation to those who need it, as well as snack and beverages.
An integral part of the friendship, care and spiritual growth that we value at Faith River. A Life Group typically consists of 6 to 12 people who meet together for encouragement, ministry, socializing, prayer, and Bible study. Meetings are on various evenings of the week and in different homes in and around Saskatoon. God doesn't want any of us to walk alone, and Life Groups are a great way to get to know others in a relaxed setting.
Faith River Christian Fellowship values the contribution made by our church seniors. We meet for occasional noon luncheons often with visiting missionaries that are supported by the fellowship. We want to look into regular fellowship luncheons and possible regular mid-day Bible study.
Please contact us for more information about these ministries and how you can get involved!

2015 - A solid vintage for Barbaresco and Barolo, with warmer weather crafting a more approachable and consistent style of wines that will find many admirers. Early examples of Barbera, Dolcetto, and Nebbiolo bottlings indicate there's a lot to be excited about and that it will be a value vintage across the region. Early comparisons are to the racy style of 2007 or to the charming wines from 2005. The top wines will have some great potential for a long time t come.
2014 - Perhaps this will long be remembered as a Barbaresco vintage, where the summer brought rain and hail that touched down mostly in Barolo. Those that favor Barbaresco will find some real gems, perhaps under-the-radar just for the fact that their neighbors had more challenges. Late season conditions yielded some great opportunities to make high-quality wines and some 2014s are stunning examples that shouldn't be missed. Some Barolo producers were able to craft wines that challenge the best vintage, while others declassified some of their Crus. Be selective, but don't miss the highlights of this year.
2013 - A graceful and expressive vintage, this has the balance of classic Piedmont with the character of some of the banner vintages like '06 and '10. Accessible but age-worthy wines, more on the elegant side. A collector or drinker's vintage, strong for both Barolo and Barbaresco.
2012 - Mid-weight and accessible, 2012 is a charming vintage of wines that are reminiscent of the 2005s—a vintage that has aged and developed surprisingly well. A great option while some of the surrounding vintages age, and a place to look for value in higher-end options.
2011 - A warm and early vintage produced resplendent wines that are often in the shadow of the extraordinarily popular 2010s. For those who like flashier, more immediate wines, the 2011s have a ton to offer in the style of, for example, 2007. Barbaresco fared slightly better than Barolo and some might argue that 2011 was more successful in that particular commune.
2010 - An incredible vintage for Piedmont and Barolo in specific. Some would say the ideal balance of concentration, expression of site, and ageworthiness. Borrowing a little bit of the great vintages surrounding it, 2010 will be the point-of-reference for most great vintages in the future (and past) in Piedmont.
2009 - In between the classic '08s and triumphant '10s, 2009s have a tough time finding their signature. Light, graceful wines, they are often savvy buys for the most successful labels and an easy-drinking Piedmont vintage if there ever was one.
2008 - Super classic and elegant, these are the counterpoint to the flamboyant and immediate 2007s. For those looking for old-school Barolo and Barbaresco, the top producers have certainly made some stunning examples in this vein.
2007 - Rich and expressive, 2007 produced some big, bold, but balanced wines that show what Piedmont can accomplish when a vintage is rich but not over-the-top. Some of the best examples of this vintage have potential to be all-time classics and it is a great year for those looking to get a friendly introduction to the wines of Piedmont.
2006 - Super classic in that the wines are concentrated and often massively tannic. For those who enjoy that style, it doesn't get much better than 2006. Wines for the cellar and of exceptional quality across the board, they are also wines for the patient as well. It is the ideal marriage of modern Piedmont and classic structure.
