Please note you have seen very few post about a bass being caught but when they start to bed you will see post after post how easy it is to catch bass. Grew up as a kid that loved to fish City Park and they closed the park during the bedding season. I have seen people snag them off the ness many times. So glad that for many years we as kids and then young men with kids had city park for some great bass fishing and the closing was the main reason.

Chasys Draw IES was recently updated to support all flavors of CPT, including CPT7, CPT8 and CPT9, including those produced by Corel Photo-Paint 2018. Starting for version 4.58.01, Chasys Draw IES can open, edit and convert CPT files (see YouTube video).
There are four types of CPT files: CPT6, CPT7, CPT8 and CPT9. CPT6 files are basically TIFF files, and many applications can open them. The other three are proprietary formats for which Corel does not provide any specifications/documentation whatsoever. For me, that meant spending 2 months staring at the binary listings of several CPT files in a bid to figure out what was going on. That was a slow and frustrating journey, but I cracked it eventually, making Chasys Draw IES the first non-Corel application to fully support the CPT file format.
The journey ahead, however, is even tougher than cracking the format: that journey is trying to get that feature to the people who need it. There are probably thousands of people out there who are stuck with CPT files that they need to work with, but with the Corel suite going for in excess of USD 600, purchasing a copy of that software is simply not an option for them. Chasys Draw IES could be the perfect solution for them, but they've probably never heard of it, or if they have, they don't know that it can work with their CPT files.
So, the CPT struggle continues, with the focus being mainly on adding features (for example, text object extraction) and on getting the information out there.

Tesla to invest in charging pole development
Shanghai Daily 2020/11/26 Hu Yumo
US electric carmaker Tesla says it is to invest 42 million yuan (US$6.42 million) to set up a plant for the production, research and development of charging poles in Shanghai.
The factory will be put into production in the first quarter of 2021, the company said, with initial plans to produce 10,000 charging poles a year, mainly V3 superchargers.
This move will accelerate the popularity of the V3 supercharger to provide an efficient charging service system for Chinese consumers, the company said, giving users a range of 250 kilometers after a 15-minute charge.nbsp;
By the end of this year, Tesla plans to havenbsp;650 super charging stations and more than 5,000 super charging poles in more than 250 Chinese cities.
Tesla said on Thursday it will also establish a new research and development center in Shanghai. The new facility, at the Shanghai Gigafactory, will focus on vehicle development, energy products and charging equipment.nbsp;
The Shanghai factory aims to produce 150,000 Model 3 sedans this year and has begun exporting vehicles to Europe.
It had produced more than 85,000 vehicles with an industrial output of over 21.6 billion yuan by the end of September, with weekly production stabilizing at 3,500 to 4,000 vehicles. Exports of vehicles and batteries by the plant are estimated to reach US$ 450 million within the year.
Tesla delivered the first batch of made-in-China Model 3 sedans to the public earlier this year, one year after the company broke ground on its first overseas plant.

Jan Christian Habel, Jürgen Dengler, Monika Janišová, Péter Török, Camilla Wellstein, Michal Wiezik (2013) European grassland ecosystems: threatened hotspots of biodiversity.Biological Conservation 22(10): 2131-2138.
Biodiversity is not homogenously distributed over the globe, and ecosystems differ strongly in the number of species they provide. With this special issue we highlight the ecology and endangerment of one of the most diverse ecosystem of Europe: the European grassland ecosystems. The selected 16 contributions describe interactions from below-ground to the atmosphere and focus on (1) effects of abiotic and biotic on species diversity, (2) the impact of various factors along spatial and temporal gradients, (3) the relevance of falling abandoned and eutrophication—including countervailing management strategies like encroachment; and (4) intraspecific effects based on physiology, genetics and intraspecific plasticity. The contributions cover fungi, plants, and invertebrates and highlight effects taking place at the level of ecosystem, species community, species, populations, and also within individuals (physiology and genetics).


"At Google's massive scale, a slowdown in ad revenue growth is to be expected, particularly in the US, eMarketer Senior Forecasting Director Monica Peart said in an email".
Cotten, 30, died in India last December from complications from Crohn's disease, according to the company . Robertson has retained an expert to try to access the funds but he has so far not been able to do so.
Expenses rose to $31 billion compared with $24.6 billion in the same period a year ago. Google also finds itself a distant third to Amazon and Microsoft in the fast-growing cloud computing market.
One stunning number is telling about Google's effectiveness as a business.
Alphabet reported capital expenditures of more than $7 billion for Q4, easily surpassing the $5.63 billion in capex it planned to spend during the quarter.
The downside is average ad prices are shrinking as Google serves more commercial messages through computerized placements and on YouTube - both of which tend to have lower prices than Google's traditional desktop PC web search messages. Alphabet's profits were thinner because of its investment in cloud services.
For all that, investors apparently expected a little more operating income, which at $8.2 billion came in a bit short of the $8.6 billion consensus. Among the more damaging of those was its work on a China-specific search engine which ultimately caused questions to be raised by the U.S. government. Referred to internally as "Project Dragonfly", Google was said to be preparing to introduce the censored engine in 2019 but later abandoned the plans.
Footage shot from the stands makes it even better, since you can hear the crowd go wild when Mourinho takes his tumble. The drop itself went as planned and Moruinho began to walk off the ice.


Possibly Abbas Kiarostami's most rigorous film to date, Ten is also his most economical, a collection of 10 conversations between a female motorist and her various passengers. Kiarostami counts down to the final chat, a structuralist ploy that evokes the director's ever-diminishing textual range. This audacious experiment was shot on digital video and consists of exactly two camera angles: one pointed at the female driver (Mania Akbari), another pointed at whoever rides shotgun. The film opens on an incredible high note, a near 15-minute shot of the woman's son (Amin Maher) condemning his mother for divorcing his father. As frightening as this little man's words are, far scarier how long Kiarostami lingers on the boy's face. Not only does the car come to symbolize the woman's cultural subjugation but so does Kiarostami's use of off-screen space. "He's a stranger to me," says Amin of his mother's new husband though the boy's sad acknowledgement could apply to every relationship in the film. The woman's sister wears her chador tightly around what is a silent act of retaliation: a newly shaved head. "In all my films, there are shots where the emotional impact goes beyond direction, triumphing over it, and the emotion becomes more powerful than cinema itself," says Kiarostami of his latest film. Sadly, no conversation in Ten is as engrossing or significant as the driver's arguments with her resentful child. Over and over again, the woman's son insists to be taken to his grandmother's house, and there's a sense that this car ride could go on forever and that nothing will ever change for the woman. The key achievement of this minimalist statement is that Kiarostami conveys these truths with nothing more than a simple two-camera setup and a series of naked emotions.

It's not by accident that football is the globe's most popular sport.
To begin with, it's cheap and easy to play. A bit of land space, even a street corner, a group of boys, or girls, a ball and there's a game on. Even bare-footed and shirtless, those who play football will still find joy, satisfaction and camaraderie.
In Jamaica, and indeed globally, the game has long served to build harmony and ease stress.
In this country's socially and economically depressed communities, social workers, community leaders and political representatives have long found football to be a useful tool in reducing, even eliminating tension and violence among unemployed, frustrated youth.
Those who witnessed it, recall with something akin to wonder, the use of football in bringing lasting peace between politically tribalised and warring communities in Trench Town and Western Kingston in the late 1990s to early 2000s.
They will undoubtedly be remembered for many other things, but for that achievement we hold that the lead political representatives in those communities at the time, Dr Omar Davies and Mr Edward Seaga, should forever be honoured. They kept their ears to the ground, their fingers to the pulse of their people, and healed with football.
Of course, it's not just football. All sport can have that effect.
That capacity to bring harmony and healing was recognised by Mr Chris Samuda, president of the Jamaica Olympic Association, at the recent St Thomas Football Association awards ceremony. Sport, Mr Samuda pointed out, "establishes common ground for social cohesion of communities".
It goes beyond that since, as Mr Samuda noted, "communities don't exist in isolation" but form part of a nation, readily bound together by sport. Who will forget the national pride when Jamaica qualified for the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the shared joy of gold medal success at the Olympics and other major games.
So that when the nation excels at football and wider sport, it becomes easy for communities to not only celebrate but to be drawn together to play, with all the positive spinoffs already mentioned. Obviously then, quite apart from the economic benefits of professional sport in the modern world, there is great social gain when the national team performs well.
All the more reason for stakeholders to heed the call for help by Jamaica Football Federation President Michael Ricketts for the national women's team, the Reggae Girls, who played such outstanding football in progressing to next month's Concacaf Women's Championships; and for the men's team, the Reggae Boyz, who begin their campaign in the Concacaf Nations League tomorrow.
It will serve us all to lend a helping hand.

Hey all. Latest grants and fellowships (up to $10K) from USC Annenberg have been announced. Deadline to apply is April 16. Details HERE and below.
USC Annenberg's California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships program is offering three different reporting grants this year to underwrite investigative or explanatory journalism projects on substantive health issues. The grants all include participation in The National Health Journalism Fellowships , which allow journalists to step away from their daily routines to spend five days in Los Angeles exploring topics related to "Health and Place," or how neighborhood and work environments impact health and life expectancy. This intensive mini fellowship will help you understand how community health, health policy, and the nation's growing ethnic diversity intersect. You'll come away from the experience with a multitude of story ideas and sources, new insights into what community influences contribute to personal health, and funds to pursue an important health-related reporting project.
Based at USC's Annenberg School of Journalism, the National Fellowship is open to print, broadcast, and online journalists from around the country. National Fellows receive meals, travel, and lodging, plus a $2,000 stipend upon publication or broadcast of a major fellowship project on almost any domestic health issue.
The Hunt Fund (grants of $2,500 to $10,000) will support projects that examine the effects of a specific factor or confluence of factors on a community's health, such as poverty, health disparities, pollution, violence, land use, urban development, access to health care, and access to healthy food. And our new Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health Fund (California journalists only) will provide grants of $2,000-$5,000 to underwrite projects focused on children's health issues.
Competition for all the grants is open to both newsroom staffers and freelancers who contribute to print, broadcast, and online news outlets. The stipends and grants can be used to defray reporting and publishing-related costs such as travel, website development, database acquisition and analysis, environmental testing, translation services, and a journalist's otherwise uncompensated time.
Applicants must join ReportingonHealth.org, a Web 2.0 community for health journalism and the official website for the Fellowships. To encourage collaboration between mainstream and ethnic media, preference will be given to applicants who propose a joint project for use by both media outlets.
Two IFP fellowship deadlines coming up, March 6 and March 21. Details HERE and below.

Submit your film-in-progress to this screening series in SF. Details below.
Tuesday, March 20th at 7:30 p.m.
Rough Cuts is a series of work-in-progress documentary screenings that are produced every other month at a variety of locations throughout San Francisco. For each evening, we screen one rough cut of a feature-length documentary and then moderate a conversation about the film. These post-screening discussions are designed to give the filmmaker a better, more objective sense of what is working and not working with his/her film, with particular attention paid to improving the film's structure and narrative clarity. We hope that the series also provides a welcome space for local filmmakers, film professionals, and fans of documentary film to meet and talk.
The latest events at the UC Berkeley J-school.
In January 1982, an elderly white widow was murdered in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a poor, mentally challenged black man with no previous felony record. Barely ninety days after the victim's body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. The case has all the issues that mark the debate about the death penalty — race, mental retardation, "snitch" testimony, DNA-testing, a strong claim of innocence, bad defense lawyers, and prosecutorial misconduct writ large. The book also tells the inspirational story of a lawyer, Diana Holt, who fought to save Elmore's life. Reviewing the book for The Atlantic, Andrew Cohen called it "the book of the century about the death penalty." Publishers Weekly described it as a "lucid, page-turning account" and "not only a gripping human story but a first-rate introduction to the more problematic aspects of American criminal law."
Bonner examines Elmore's defense through three jury trials and many complex legal proceedings. He also explores the moral and legal issues in a case that has been in the courts for three decades.
Raymond Bonner earned a law degree from Stanford in 1967 and practiced before teaching law at UC Davis and founding the Public Interest Clearinghouse at Hastings College of Law in San Francisco. Later, he became an investigative reporter and foreign correspondent for The New York Times and received numerous awards and honors, including the Louis M. Lyons Award for Conscience and Integrity in Journalism, from the Nieman Foundation Fellows, in 1996. He was a member of the Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999 for articles about the sale of American technology to China. He has also been a staff writer at The New Yorker and has written for The New York Review of Books. His first book, Weakness and Deceit: U.S. Policy and El Salvador, received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award; his second, Waltzing with a Dictator: The Marcoses and the Making of American Policy, received the Overseas Press Club and Sidney Hillman book awards. He now lives in London.
Mark Danner, Chancellor's Professor of Journalism, Politics and English at the University of California at Berkeley, has written for more than two decades on foreign affairs and international conflict. He has covered Central America, Haiti, Balkans and Iraq, among many other stories, and has written extensively about the development of American foreign policy during the late Cold War and afterward, and about violations of human rights during that time. His books include Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War (2009), The Secret Way to War: The Downing Street Memo and the Iraq War's Buried History (2006), Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib and the War on Terror (2004), The Road to Illegitimacy: One Reporter's Travel's Through the 2000 Florida Vote Recount (2004) and The Massacre at El Mozote: A Parable of the Cold War (1994).

As President Obama seeks a second term, we examine his presidency and the 2012 election. Is the president to blame for the stagnant economy that has bedeviled his administration? Would any president have been able to engineer a speedier economic recovery? How has the president managed the foreign policy challenges of his time? Has he met the need for symbolic leadership from the president? And what of the Republicans who seek to replace him? Four years after a dramatic election that made American history, what should we expect from the election of 2012?

One of Transom's most popular features ever is TOOLS Editor Jeff Towne's primer on setting up a small recording studio, but the page hasn't had an update in six years. So, Jeff has created a completely new version–covering computer and software selection, the requisite hardware, along with equipment recommendations in various price ranges and pretty much everything you need on this topic, all in one place. There are links to individual tests of gear, manufacturer's sites, downloads, etc. etc. (One interesting new thing: ProTools is becoming dislodged as the go-to choice for documentary production.) This is the kind of useful, generous advice that makes us all love Jeff Towne.
"As the trend toward smaller, less-expensive, more-powerful recording gear continues to accelerate, it gets harder and harder to stay on top of the latest innovations and deals. It seems like we updated our recommendations for setting up a home studio only yesterday, but in fact, a few years have gone by, and several important things have changed. We're temperamentally more likely to wait and see if the latest, greatest thing is really stable and reliable and useful, rather than continually staying out on the bleeding edge, so we might not include that virtual mixer that you control with your mind, until we're sure it's reliable. Ultimately we're more interested in getting work done, and doing it efficiently, than in having the coolest, shiniest, geekiest gear. Keep in mind: if your current set-up is working for you, you may not need to make any changes. But if you're feeling constricted by your old home studio, or if you're setting one up for the first time, here's what we think you might want (at least for the next few days…)."

As you might have noticed the site's now sporting a new theme. It's not quite complete yet, but the main design is pretty much sorted. I'm calling it 'The Wight One', for fairly self-explanatory reasons. A number of the tweaks and features are inspired by Matt Mullenweg's new site but I'm not anywhere near as stylish as Nicolò Volpato (the designer of his new theme).
I've also taken the opportunity to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, 2.5.1 which apparently fixes a number of minor issues, and a couple of security vulnerabilities from the original 2.5 release.
The header image is a view of the cliffs toward the Needles on the Isle of Wight, and is from ThisParticularGreg's Flickr collection. The image at the foot of the theme is a view along Tennyson Down, and is from klbw's Flickr stream. Both are used under Creative Commons licences.
Why is it that technology usually works fine when you're ahead of schedule and could actually afford to wait for something to be fixed, but if you're up against a deadline, anything that can fail, will? Due to my being ill last week, our latest school network project was in danger of over-running. We've brought it back under control, but halfway through the day, the Internet connection for all the schools on the Island went down. This mean that most of the tweaks and adjustments we had left (such as printer drivers, SMARTBoard software updates, a few software activations etc.) can't be completed until at least tomorrow – which is when the students are back.
In an effort to post more -I'm not going to call it a New Year's resolution, since that would be the quickest way to make it fail- I've added WordBook to both steve-c.co.uk and my Facebook page. It's a surprisingly painless experience, and although it's rather lacking in configuration options does appear to do the job.
Shock horror – some form of update!
Actually, I'm mainly doing this as a dry run for upgrading WordPress to 2.3.2 for other places – if it was going to break any site, I'd rather it be my own. I'm (marginally) less likely to shout at me.
Another reason for this post is that without it, I'd not have made any changes here since 2006!
I fear most of my on-line presence is now at Facebook; I know it's got a load of privacy issues, but I'm fairly sure I've switched off most of the major intrusive bits on my account (aside from the whole not-being-able-to-really-delete-your-account one anyway).
We're up to 11 staff at DataSwift as of Wednesday – at this rate we'll need another new office!
Whilst on randomly different topics, I've just watched the Bourne Ultimatum, and whilst watching the end credits noticed that there was one for "Pigeon Wrangler". Also, there were specific credits for Bassoonist and Percussion, but not for the other members of whatever orchestra was used. Most bizarre.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Vivint Smart Home Arena.
The Philadelphia 76ers look for a win to build on their impressive 5-1 record. The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 114 points on 46.5 percent shooting and allowing 107.3 points on 46.9 percent shooting. Joel Embiid is averaging 23.3 points and 10.3 rebounds while Tobias Harris is averaging 20.3 points and 8.8 rebounds. Al Horford is the third double-digit scorer and Ben Simmons is dishing 7.7 assists. The Philadelphia 76ers are shooting 33.5 percent from beyond the arc and 68.1 percent from the free throw line. The Philadelphia 76ers are allowing 37.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 48.2 rebounds per game. The Philadelphia 76ers have won three of their last four road games.
The Utah Jazz need a win after splitting their last six games. The Utah Jazz are averaging 100 points on 46.3 percent shooting and allowing 95.6 points on 41.7 percent shooting. Donovan Mitchell is averaging 25.7 points and 3.3 assists while Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 20.2 points and 4.2 rebounds. Mike Conley is the third double-digit scorer and Rudy Gobert is grabbing 12 rebounds. The Utah Jazz are shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc and 75.9 percent from the free throw line. The Utah Jazz are allowing 31 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 41.4 rebounds per game. The Utah Jazz have won all three home games this season.
The 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss, 34-16-2 ATS in their last 52 vs. NBA Northwest and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Jazz are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The 76ers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and the under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings. The under is 21-8 in Jazz last 29 overall. The over is 39-18 in 76ers last 57 Wednesday games.
The Philadelphia 76ers will be at full strength for this game, but their road loss to the Suns does raise some eyebrows and has you questioning this squad defensively. The Utah Jazz have played their best ball by far at home this season and the combination of Mitchell and Gobert is starting to heat up. The Jazz have held four of their last five opponents in the regular season at home under 100 points. I'll lay the bucket with the Jazz on their home court.
Randy's Pick Utah Jazz -2
Dallas Mavericks vs. Orlando Magic - 11/6/19 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks - 11/6/19 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction


Starting down the artistic road came later in life for me and I'm constantly feeling like I'm playing catch up! That being said, photography has become a part of my every day existence and the expression it affords me has been a trememdous tool for self undertanding and discovery.
Having lived my whole life within a six hundred mile radius, I took the leap in 2014 to move across country to Virginia, starting a new phase of my life. My core interests and passions remain, however: art/photography, growing food and medinical plants (and old timey flowers), experimenting and creating in the kitchen, reading and spirituality.
I have recently incorporated encaustic technique into my work, mounting prints to cradled board and coating with wax medium. I feel this adds depth and interest to the photos.

Eviction hearings in Kansas City are taking place over video. Not everyone has internet.
The online hearings pose an obstacle for tenants who lack internet access or the proper technology, garnering criticism from housing advocates.
by Celisa Calacal December 2, 2020 August 7, 2022

With her phone in hand, Gabrielle Diamond walked through her house to show the judge from the Jackson County 16th Circuit Court her current living conditions. It was October, and Diamond was participating in a court hearing for a possible eviction by video call.
But Diamond, 20, had internet problems. The judge couldn't clearly see what was happening on the video.
"Not getting to interact with people in person, it makes things more awkward …(when) I'm in person, I can get my words out better," Diamond said. "The WebEx hearing made me feel like I didn't really get to say what I needed to say, so I wasn't really being heard by the judge."
As COVID-19 cases rise throughout the Kansas City metro area, tenants like Diamond have been attending eviction hearings via video calls despite a federal eviction moratorium by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Whether it's joining on their laptops or cellphones, what would normally be an in-person appearance at the 16th Circuit Courthouse downtown has transitioned onto completely remote platforms where the judge, plaintiffs, defendants and their attorneys interact virtually.
Since Jackson County's eviction moratorium expired at the end of May, landlords have filed 2,227 housing petitions — including those involving nonpayment of rent and lease violations — according to data provided by the court.
But for many, holding digital-only court proceedings where tenants face the prospect of potentially losing their housing in the middle of a pandemic is a catch-22.
"If you don't have a phone, you're forced to go to court, and then take that physical risk," said Gina Chiala, executive director and staff attorney at the Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom.
"A lot of the tenants we work with are not physically healthy. So it's a dangerous situation. And all the tenants we represent, for the most part, belong to those most vulnerable… (with) very serious health consequences if they contract the virus."
'No excuse for evictions'
Diamond and her fiance work in retail. Their hours have been cut because of the pandemic, and as a result, they've fallen behind on rent.
Now, not only is Diamond worried about contracting COVID-19 at work — she's also worried about losing her home.
"It's hard having to think if we're going to be homeless again or not," she said — the couple was evicted from their home last December. "And having to worry about that on a daily basis."
Judges at the Jackson County 16th Circuit Court have been holding remote proceedings via teleconference or video calls following a March order issued by the Missouri Supreme Court. Judges can still hold in-person hearings, particularly when the remote alternatives fail, become unavailable or when disruptions interrupt remote proceedings.
The current CDC federal eviction moratorium will expire Dec. 31. The policy only prohibits evictions on the basis of nonpayment of rent, and tenants must first sign a declaration form demonstrating a loss of income making them unable to pay rent and then provide it to their landlord. The CDC order does not prohibit landlords from starting eviction proceedings altogether.
But judges' interpretations of the order's protections vary by state.
In response to the CDC order, Judge David M. Byrn, presiding judge at the 16th Circuit Court, issued an administrative order that does not prohibit a landlord from pursuing an eviction under certain circumstances. The order states that landlords seeking an eviction must file a "Verification" form with the court confirming that the tenant did not provide a completed copy of the CDC declaration form. The order also allows landlords to "challenge the accuracy or veracity" of a submitted CDC form and request a court hearing.
The Jackson County Court established an eviction moratorium from March to May 31. Since then, the 16th Circuit Court, and courts throughout Missouri, have continued to hear eviction cases.
According to data provided by the Jackson County Circuit Court, 1,024 writs for housing evictions have been issued since June by the Civil Records Department. When an order from a judge requires a tenant to leave their house, a writ is filed, making that judgement actionable.
Though Missouri has continued courts to hold eviction hearings, that's not the case in other states. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order putting a suspension on evictions. In Washington, D.C., the city council suspended eviction proceedings for any reason — not just nonpayment of rent.
In Kansas, an executive order from Gov. Laura Kelly extended a statewide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures until Jan. 26, 2021, surpassing the CDC's federal eviction moratorium. The Kansas Eviction Protection Program also allows both landlords and tenants to apply for payments to make up late rental payments going back to April 1, 2020.
"There's absolutely no excuse for evictions to be occurring right now during a global pandemic," said Tara Raghuveer, director of KC Tenants, a housing advocacy group in Kansas City. "One of the foremost pieces of guidance that we've received is that we should stay in our homes in order to keep ourselves and our communities healthy."
Obstacles in the process
Diamond attended a second eviction hearing in November. That time, Diamond said the judge required her to appear in person at the Jackson County Courthouse.
"It was very, very strange the way they have it set up," Diamond said, adding that the judge wasn't wearing a mask. "… But I mean, it was more open, and I feel like I could get what my side of the case was out."

Tenants who appear in person for their hearings sit outside the courtroom doors, waiting for the sheriff to call their name when the judge is ready to hear their case. The courtrooms now are barren — a stark contrast to the traditional hustle and bustle — save for the sheriff, administrative aides, a few attorneys and the judge, who is seated behind a layer of plexiglass. Tenants, landlords or attorneys who join remotely appear on a large monitor screen in front of the judge's podium.
Despite the option of remote hearings, tenants like Diamond still appear in person at the courthouse, either because the judge has ordered them to or because a remote hearing is not feasible. But attorneys and advocates with KC Tenants say remote hearings can be riddled with problems that disadvantage tenants.
The potential for due process violations, particularly when a person is denied the right to present evidence in defense, is the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Missouri Supreme Court by ArchCity Defenders, a St. Louis-based legal advocacy organization, on behalf of a disabled veteran in St. Louis, Eddie Logan. According to the case, Logan attempted to deliver evidence to the eviction court in St. Louis three times but was consistently turned away because of COVID-19 restrictions. He mailed the evidence instead.
On the day of his trial in August, Logan couldn't join by video, so he joined from his wife's telephone instead. He ultimately lost his case.
But it's not just access to appropriate technology that poses an obstacle. By not appearing at the courthouse, tenants also miss the opportunity to speak with attorneys and ask for legal advice or representation.
"Because tenants aren't coming to court in person, they have less access to us," Chiala said, adding that a representative from the Heartland Center makes an announcement about legal services during remote hearings. "So we make an announcement on the docket, but it's insufficient. It's different from being able to talk to a tenant face to face in court — that's a much better process."
Maura Weber, staff attorney at Legal Aid of Western Missouri, said even the practice of joining a remote hearing can be a scary experience for tenants overall.
"It's new for people. And so it's scary trying to figure out how to call in for WebEx," Weber said. "If you don't trust your phone connection, it's scary. And so just being there, in person, for such an important thing going on in your life makes sense."
'This is not justice'
Waiting for her virtual hearing in October, Diamond felt nervous.
"My heart was racing, I was sweating," she said.
Then, in the middle of the proceeding, a voice interrupted.
"No one should be evicted during a pandemic. This is not justice. This is not due process," Diamond heard over the phone. "This is violence. All evictions must end."
The disruption was part of a series of direct actions hosted by KC Tenants that shut down remote eviction proceedings for tenants like Diamond.
"I felt the hope again," Diamond said. "I felt like I had somebody to back me, to say the things that I wanted to say that I was afraid to say."
On Oct. 15, members of KC Tenants blocked the doors to the Jackson County Courthouse in downtown Kansas City, chaining themselves to the doors and flooding online eviction court proceedings. The action shut down or temporarily disrupted many of the eviction hearings on the docket. (Chase Castor/The Beacon)
But in the group's last action, Raghuveer said judges limited the people allowed into the video call to only those directly involved in the landlord tenant proceedings. Judges permitted a Beacon reporter to sit in on remote eviction proceedings Nov. 12. That afternoon, judges removed any person who disrupted the online proceedings.
Judge Mary Weir, who hears eviction cases in the 16th Circuit Court, ended remote eviction proceedings in early November due to disruptions from KC Tenants. The week before Thanksgiving, Weir announced she will no longer hear eviction cases for the rest of the year. Other judges who preside over landlord-tenant proceedings are still hearing eviction cases remotely.

Diamond is scheduled for another hearing this month. In November, a federal judge rejected a lawsuit from KC Tenants and the American Civil Liberties Union requesting that the Jackson County Circuit Court end eviction lawsuits. And with the CDC moratorium expiring at the end of the year, Diamond said elected officials need to take action.
"They need to actually set a moratorium and show that they care," Diamond said.
"Because if they don't, then we're just going to continue to die."

In Francq and Zakoïan , we derived stationarity conditions for ARMA(p,q) models subject to Markov switching. In this paper, we show that, under appropriate moment conditions, the powers of the stationary solutions admit weak ARMA representations, which we are able to characterize in terms of p,q, the coefficients of the model in each regime, and the transition probabilities of the Markov chain. These representations are potentially useful for statistical applications.
Key words: ARMA representation / hidden Markov models / Markov-switching models / identification.

Fighting with My Family Review: The Story About A Wrestling Family Is A Real Champion
By societyreviews February 22, 2019 March 16, 2019
Leave a Comment on Fighting with My Family Review: The Story About A Wrestling Family Is A Real Champion
Being a 24-year fan of professional wrestling, there was no way I wasn't watching this film. For those who aren't in the know when it comes to the world of rasslin', Saraya-Jade Bevis, who is known in WWE by her ring name Paige, was essentially a child prodigy in the industry. Paige was an underground wrestling sensation as a teenager as her family ran a wrestling show and she was featured prominently. In 2011, she received her big break with the WWE at the age of 18. A few years later she became the youngest women's champion in the company's history and it looked like the sky was the limit.
Being a 24-year fan of professional wrestling, there was no way I wasn't watching this film. For those who aren't in the know when it comes to the world of rasslin', Saraya-Jade Bevis, who is known in WWE by her ring name Paige, was essentially a child prodigy in the industry. Paige was an underground wrestling sensation as a teenager as her family ran a wrestling show and she was featured prominently. In 2011, she received her big break with the WWE at the age of 18. A few years later she became the youngest women's champion in the company's history and it looked like the sky was the limit. However, after some major setbacks in her personal life, her wrestling career came to an abrupt end due to a neck injury she suffered that forced her to retire at the age of 25.
Fortunately, Fighting with My Family ends the story at her big championship win. The film is about the rise of the diva who would soon be known as Paige. Growing up in Norwich, England, Paige spends her day wrestling for her parent's promotion until one day the WWE calls her and her brother for a tryout. Paige nails the tryout but her brother doesn't. Devastated, she must go to America on her own and carry the legacy of her family while hoping her family doesn't fall apart in her absence.
If you are a fan of wrestling and know Paige's story then you will definitely enjoy this film. Surprisingly, if you don't know her story, you will still find a heartwarming and emotional tale to be told here. For a sports movie, the film is pretty by the numbers, you have your origin story, the ups, the downs, and then the big moment as the main character rides into the sunset, nothing too different. From the perspective of a fan, there were a lot of moments in Paige's life and career that were omitted for runtime purposes that would have been more helpful in telling her story such as with her rivalry with Emma and her run as NXT women's champion amongst others.
Outside of some grievances, Fighting with My Family is well acted with Nick Frost and Lena Headey having amazing chemistry together. There is a lot of character humor which isn't a surprise being written and directed by Stephen Merchant of The Office fame. His direction helps bring out the authenticity of small-town England which is a big plus in the movie's favor. Florence Pugh is likable and charming as the feature character of Paige and rounding out a strong supporting cast are Vince Vaughn and The Rock who know how to make an impact on-screen and they do not disappoint here.
It may have taken forever but WWE studios FINALLY have a quality film under their belt. Fighting with My Family is a crowd-pleasing underdog tale than even non-wrestling fans will have a hard time not being caught up in the moment with.

A show rather than a group, Celtic Thunder was conceived by Sharon Browne and written and arranged by Phil Coulter and designed as a contemporary exploration of Celtic music, which means it falls to the pop-dance side of the spectrum more than it does to the traditional side. The show was staged, recorded, and filmed in Dublin in August of 2007 and featured five male vocalists, Damian McGinty (only 14 years old when the show was recorded), Keith Harkin, Paul Byrom, Ryan Kelly, and George Donaldson, rotating leads through a set of traditional and contemporary songs, several of them written by Coulter. A CD and DVD of the event appeared from Decca in 2008. The quintet's 2009 sophomore effort, Take Me Home, was stocked with traditional Irish and Scottish ballads peppered with a handful of pop/rock covers, while 2010's It's Entertainment relied exclusively on commercial pop hits. Celtic Thunder returned to their roots for 2011's Heritage, a meld of new and traditional material. Paul Byrom left before the album was complete, having recorded numerous tracks for the set before leaving; he was replaced by Emmet Cahill, although both men appear on the recording.
Sadly, George Donaldson passed away of a massive heart attack at the age of 46 on March 12th.


Hadoop has established itself as one of the main tools for processing high volumes of information (Big Data). The role of Hadoop in companies continues to evolve optimizing the architecture of storage and data processing, increasing performance and reducing costs. The participant will learn about the Hadoop ecosystem, as well as the basic features of HDFS and MapReduce. In addition to, we can explore how to use Hive and Pig for rapid processing development.
Organizations today struggle to get different views of the amount of data they obtain. This includes large amounts of unstructured data such as files, images, videos, clicks or geo-spatial data. The main challenge is to efficiently analyze and process both structured and unstructured data. And on the other hand, a fundamental task in companies is to make decisions quickly with the data obtained in real time.
Hadoop offers the possibility to store and analyze petabytes of unstructured data. Hadoop is a framework for large-scale data processing, supports the execution of distributed applications and allows applications to work with thousands of nodes and petabytes of information. It is a fault-tolerant system, runs on low-cost hardware and automatically handles data replication. It is important to note that Hadoop is not a substitute for a database. Hadoop stores data in files but does not index them. If we want to find something, we have to execute a MapReduce job going through all the data.

A variety of rhubarb-cake favorites includes using cherries, jello, peaches and creating a delicious one with cheese. If you like Amish baking, there's a great one here as well.
Is an old-fashioned mixture your favorite?
Or, do you prefer the texture of creamed cheese?
Rhubarb can work with all of these tastes together and please everyone at once.
Try one....you may find a new special dessert to serve.
Sprinkle a small package of dry strawberry jello over top of the sugar.
Serve with vanilla ice-cream for an extra rich dessert.
Mix all ingredients and pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Add the nuts and topping mix below over the batter.
Add a handful of chopped nuts to this dessert if you like.
Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.
Mix ingredients and press into a 9" pan. Line with parchment paper or foil.
Mix this filling until smooth and pour into your pan. Bake at 350F for 30 - 40 minutes.
Combine these ingredients and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes until rhubarb has thickened.
Cook for approximately 15 minutes until well thickened.
For this rhubarb-cake, you can substitute cookie crumbs.
Mix the crust ingredients well. Press into a lightly greased 9 1/2 inch springform pan.
Bake at 350F for 10 minutes to set the crust. Cool completely.
Using a mixer, beat the cheese until smooth. Gradually add the rest of the ingredients. Stir in the sour cream and white chocolate at the end.
Cover the bottom and up the sides (halfway) of the springform pan in thick foil.
Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the pan. Add spoonfuls of rhubarb puree over the top and swirl the point of a knife through the cheese. Repeat the process with the rest of the cream cheese mixture and rhubarb puree.
Set the pan into a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water and it should only be to within 1" of the top of the springform pan. Don't let the water go over!!
Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes. Turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecakein the oven with the door shut for another hour, and then remove from the larger dish.
Take the foil off from the bottom of the springform pan. Loosen the edges gently with a knife. Refrigerate overnight, and serve the next day.
This cake will keep very well for a period of time refrigerated.
Combine all ingredients mixing well. Pour into a 9 inch pan.
1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tblsp. melted butter 2 tsp. cinnamon.
Mix and sprinkle on batter. Bake at 375F for 40 minutes.
A great dessert treat served warm or cold.
As per the directions, mix the lemon cake with required ingredients, but do not add the oil.
Put the cake mix in a 13 x 9 pan, and cover with the rhubarb.
Pour the sugar next, and then the cream.
Wonderful served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream!
In a greased 9" square pan, arrange 2 cups of diced rhubarb.
Stir to make a dough. Drop by spoonfuls over the rhubarb and spread to cover as much as you can.
Drizzle the rhubarb royal cake.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.
Thaw the tube of crescent or biscuit dough. Set aside.
Drain the peaches and save 1/2 cup of the liquid.
Combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Add the 1/2 cup of peach juice. Bring to a low boil on low heat. Let simmer and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the rhubarb and simmer until rhubarb is tender. Add the vanilla and peaches.
Pour into an ungreased 8 inch baking dish.
Spread the biscuit dough over the top stretching as much as possible to cover.
Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes.
Blend the dry ingredients. Add egg, milk and butter.Place into a glass baking dish and pat down so that it fills half of the dish and is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the top with the rhubarb, and sprinkle the jello evenly over the rhubarb.
Combine 1/4 cup of butter, 3/4 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of flour to make a streusel topping. Sprinkle over the entire mixture and bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
Cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs and milk. Sift dry ingredients and add in. Toss the rhubarb lightly with a bit of flour and gently fold in. Place batter by spoonfuls into cupcake cups approximately halfway. Bake at 350F for 15 or 20 minutes. Let cool before icing.
Combine all ingredients mixing well. Pour into a 13 x 9 greased baking dish. Top with 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Or, stir the chips into the batter and later ice with your favorite chocolate icing if you prefer.
Bake at 350F for 35 minutes.

Accueil > News > International Women's Day
Written by - Bluebella
#PressForProgress
Thursday 8th March 2018 marks International Women's Day, a day recognised globally to celebrate the achievements of all women from around the world and to act as a reminder of the integral importance of gender parity.
The day itself has roots dating back to 1909, but was only recognised in 1975 by the United Nations. It's celebrated in many ways around the globe, for example, in Italy yellow Mimosa flowers are given to women, and often in China women are given half the day off of work, while the US has dedicated the entire month of March to 'Women's History Month'.
Suffragettes march down Fifth Avenue, 1917
Here at Bluebella, we LOVE International Women's Day and were in the thick of it at the #march4women on Sunday, from Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square! As a brand focused on female empowerment as well as embracing and owning your own sensuality, we couldn't be more supportive of a day pushing for gender equality and celebrating all women!
As a team consisting of mostly women, we see how wonderful equality in the workplace can be and truly strive for more representation across other workforces, especially those that are particularly male-dominated. We also strive to see more women taking on positions of power and given the opportunity to demonstrate all skills and abilities across the board as leaders!
Tigerlily Taylor, model, Bluebella muse and writer holding up her promise for IWD
Whilst there is much to celebrate in the advancement of women, there is also still a lot of progress that needs to be made. This past year has seen the rise of many movements such as the #MeToo campaign as well as #TimesUp, shedding light on sexual harassment in the workplace and society in general, with strong celebrity advocates and figureheads.
Celebrities at the Golden Globes dressed in black in solidarity with the Time's Up campaign
This year's IWD campaign theme is #PressForProgess, using this current momentum for change, and pushing forward for true gender parity in the workplace, and an environment utterly free from abuse.
Statistics show that on average women are paid much lower than men in the workplace, with women of colour earning even less than white women. The World Economic Forum recently reported that this gap won't close for another 200 years! This is utterly shocking, and why this year we are focusing on really working and pushing together so that we can achieve gender parity within all of our lifetimes!
Emily, Bluebella Production and Social Sorceror, holding up her promise for IWD: "I attended London's Women's March on Sunday. The passion, diversity and strength of everyone there was hugely positive. However it also highlighted how much there is to do and how widespread the issues we face are in terms of gender inequality."
So what can we do to try and bring about this change? Luckily, on the IWD website they've listed out ways in which you too can support this movement by implementing changes into your everyday life. These include: making sure the language you use is inclusive, calling out any inappropriate behaviour and questioning any lack of inclusivity, as well as challenging any statements that could be seen as limiting a woman's potential.
You can also help by supporting companies that actively try and reach out to give more equal opportunities to women, and that generally have a more inclusive workforce! Read more on the IWD website here.
Dani, Bluebella Wholesale Honey, holding up her promise for IWD: "If you're from a small city in the south of Italy (like me), stereotypes and bias are very common! I love being a strong and open-minded woman and making other women feel the same!"
At Bluebella we believe that every little helps and we will use International Women's Day this year to focus on how we too can #PressForProgress, as well as celebrating the women in our lives who really inspire us. Let us know which women inspire you, and tag us on Instagram showing us how you plan on celebrating International Women's Day this year!
Karolina, Bluebella Ecommerce Energiser holding up her promise for IWD: "The last year's shown us how important it is to fight for what we believe in and that hard work brings change. We musn't let go of the goal of a truly equal world. Working alongside amazing and inspiring women at Bluebella makes that so much easier."
Check out www.internationalwomensday.com for more info, and how you can take action on this important day!
And happy International Women's Day, you lovely, brave, intelligent, strong and gorgeous women.
Emma, Bluebella Customer Care Hero holding up her promise for IWD: "It's easy to feel negative about inequality but it's so important to remain positive, press for progress and look at what's already been achieved!"


These Coconut Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies are just as good as any cookie made with butter or shortening.. but they are much better for you!
Have you ever baked with coconut oil before? I haven't until now. I have used coconut oil in cooking quite a bit.. but not baking. For some reason I was afraid that whatever I would be baking would come out flat or taste weird. I was SO wrong. These coconut butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are just as good as any cookie made with butter or shortening.. but they are better for you! I am definitely going to start experimenting with coconut oil more now (because I bought that HUGE tub of coconut oil from Costco and I need to start using more of it)! So back to my original question… have you baked with coconut oil? If so, what has been successful? Have you had any difficulty with any baked items? Do share!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, use a mixer to beat coconut oil and brown sugar. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a whisk. Mix the flour mixture into the coconut oil mixture a little bit at a time with a wooden spoon until flour is well mixed. Add in the chocolate, butterscotch chips and coconut and mix well.
Drop by the spoonful into the baking sheets. Bake 8 minutes or until slightly browned around the edges. Try not to overbake!
Made these tonight. They were very tasty but mine were very flat. Did you refrigerate your dough before baking?
Sorry! I am not sure what went wrong, ours turned out so big and fluffy! Are you at a high altitude? Maybe try adding a little extra flour next time.
I made these yesterday and, OH MY! They were to die for! I am at high altitude, so I added another half cup of flour, to a double batch and they were perfect. I took them to a family reunion today and they were completely gone, and everyone kept asking for the recipe. I was going to make them with regular oil because I didn't have any coconut, but I am so glad I got the coconut oil. It made all the difference. I love your website, my mom and dad served with your parents on their mission and that is how I found out about your site. So far everything I have made has been amazing, and I have tried a lot! Can't wait for more. Thanks again.
I made these this last weekend and took them to a family reunion. Oh My Goodness!!! Everyone loved them. They kept asking for the recipe and I was pleased to tell them where I found it! I am at high altitude and so I added one half cup more flour to a double batch and they turned out perfectly. I was going to use just regular oil instead of the coconut oil, because I didn't have any on hand, but at the last minute I got some and oh am I so glad that I did! It made all of the difference. I have loved your website. My parents served with your parents on their mission and that is how I found out about your site. I have loved everything that I have made so far (and that is A LOT!) Can't wait for more. Thanks again!!!
Who are your parents??? Send us a message at favfamilyrecipes [at] gmail [dot] com.. I read my parents this comment and they are excited to see who they are!
Do I use refined or unrefined coconut oil?


I recently received an email from a friend that was one of those "get-to-know-each-other" chain letters. Normally, I would send those straight to the bit bucket. But this one actually made me sit and think for a bit. Instead of replying to the email, I've decided to turn this into a blog post to give me a little more breathing space to explain what I like about these books.
I'm well aware that few (or possibly even none) of you will care about this. If you fall into that mammoth category, feel free to skip this post. But for the few who do care, here is my list, with the books listed in order of increasing wonderfulness. Also note that I've leveraged a self-imposed rule on myself to not include more than one book from any one author. Otherwise I would have to include all three Lord of the Rings books, as well as a slew more from Orson Scott Card - which would make for a boring list.
Nothing to special to say about this one - just a cute pic of Eli and Carter together. They're dressed almost identically, which was a complete accident.
Sean and I made this late last summer. We picked the peaches ourselves, and picked up the peppers from a local grower. It's delicious, but I can't figure out what to put it on. Anyone got any ideas?
Over the last couple of weekends, I've made batches of both strawberry and raspberry jam. Both are certified delicious! I think I will be making another batch of each so that we'll have some to give away at Christmas. Sean helped me with both batches. He loves to help me cook, and he gets so proud when Lori makes him a sandwich with the jam he made. We're planning to make some blueberry jam over the long Thanksgiving weekend. I hope it goes well this time. We tried blueberry jam a couple of weeks ago, but overcooked it. Once it had cooled in the jars, it was as hard as a rock.
Posted in Stories	| Comments Off on Latent Superpowers…?
Sean had his first school picture taken a month or so ago. Now, you've all seen the pictures we've taken of him. It is impossible to get that boy to sit still for more than three seconds at a time. Frankly, Lori and I weren't expecting much from these school pics. So you can imagine our surprise when we opened them up and saw the photo you see here. We are still trying to figure out what the photographer must have done to get Sean to cooperate. My money is on drugs, but Lori is convinced it must have been a bribe.
In the evenings over the last couple of weeks, I have been doing some research online into how to go about starting a garden. Next year, I would like to start a garden somewhere in our yard with the kids. The goal here is threefold. First, I'll learn something new and have fun doing it. Second, the kids will (hopefully) have fun helping, and (again, hopefully) learn how hard work can pay off in the end. And third (and potentially most importantly), we can save some money on our grocery bills. I'd also love to grow enough to can some of our harvest, so we can enjoy it through the winter. And making some homemade salsa from ingredients that all came from our own garden would be pretty cool, too.
I love these things. The couple that builds these uses items found at antique stores and bits and pieces from the hardware store. I'd love to make one of these myself. They're cute and charming. I showed Sean the website, and he loved looking at the pictures of all the robots.
I don't think I've mentioned this before, but last summer we started collecting rocks from the places we visited with the kids. I was hoping that it would give them a trigger to help them remember things we had done as a family. It seems to be working. The rocks are on the windowsill above our kitchen sink. Sometimes Sean catches sight of them while helping me cook or wash dishes, and tells me about them and where they come from. We've got a "special rock from the beach", a "special rock from Maudslay park", a couple of "special rocks from the Saco River", and a "special rock from the mountain". I'm hoping to keep this up next year. Who knows, maybe it will eventually lead to an interest in rock-hunting or geology. At the very least, though, it gives him a way to remember special moments we had, which is enough for me.
This is the last of the things I found on those old backup CDs. When I took a roadtrip a few years ago, I took a Batman action figure along with me, figuring I could pose him in funny places, and put a "Batman's Roadtrip" section on my old website. I forgot to snag a picture of him in half the places I visited, but I did manage to get a few - as you can see below. In the first shot, Batman is expressing his ire at the rain that thwarted his planned hike. The second shot was taken at a lake in Arkansas whose name escapes me. The third shot is Batman just chilling at the hotel, and the final two shots were taken atop Mount Carrigain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

The Starling Mall at Sector 110 is becoming the new weekend destination and this cafe right at the entry from both site is just my kind of place for a Sunday Brunch. What makes it special is – The all day breakfast and the coffee .
So here we are experiencing this place in less than a months time since this place got operational. Located at the ground floor this is a spacious cute cafe that has some really good food on offer. Small tables with sitting of 2 & 4 to a good couch space of hosting a family of 8 this place is designed to sit back and relax while you have your food. Not so fancy interiors , clear design this place is to just unwind.
Moving on to Food , this place serves all day Breakfast making your food choices easier, along with a good range of Salads, coffee, cold pressed juices, teas and lot more.
Beverages : We ordered for a Cold Coffee with a scoop of Chocolate ice cream and Green juice on the rocks.
And the Restaurant that has all day Breakfast menu has a good range of at least 5-8 options in this category.
Poached Pear 🍐 with Tender Greens Rs. 325/- : I love fruits in my salads as they make food so refreshing, and Salads palatable and I love the crunch of dry fruits and nuts so this salad was everything to my taste with walnut to add the crunch with tender Greens and the Chilled Poached Pear with Red apple chunks adding to natural sweetness and the feta cheese making it yummy.
Probably one salad that I had till the last peice in the Bowl.
Rajama Risotto Khichdi Rs. 445/- : Sunday happens to be our Rajma Day , as the Men of the house loves Rajama. So while we stepped out for brunch and the moment I saw this on the menu I knew that we have to order this. So here we had the Rajama Risotto that came with Typical Indian Curry Rajma rice topped with crunchy papad churra and onion rings over it with Ghee.
Overall the service and food Experience was very good. The dishes were very well timed. Inspite we were here on a Sunday and the cafe was almost full still there was no chaos. People were chatting on all tables but the service was so good that there some kind of calmness in air at the cafe and that's what I just loved here. The serving team will come to the table and get down to literally wishper of any changes or suggestions they would have for the menu or taking your order. Small things make a difference. Tables will be cleared and cleaned without making much noise.
If you are a Parent of kids under 12 years this is a place for you to hangout as you can leave the kids in the Tingaland on 3rd floor and have a date with good food over a cup of coffee. While I went upstairs to get my kids there was a mother who was dropping her kid there and came down for a coffee while we got down. So it's a great place for mothers who hardly get their time.

Trotsky went from Masonic Junta to Masonic Junta, even his stay during a previous exile in Vienna with Lenin and Stalin was no doubt under Masonic protection.
Here's the full series which includes several film clips of Bro. Stalin making Masonic Recognition 'Cutsigns'.
