Bienvenue French Market – Downtown & Around Town
By DeAnn Rossetti
Thursday, March 3, 2005 6:00pm
Toasted ciabatta with apple butter, smoked ham and sharp cheddar cheese, warm spinach salad with crispy roasted duck breast, homemade croutons and balsamic vinaigrette, cantaloupe carved like a lily and filled with chicken curry salad with Fuji apples, and "fudgy wudgy" brownies layered with fudge and ganache.
These are just a few of the culinary delights available at the new eatery The French Market, 7525 S.E. 24th St., in Island Corporate Center. Mary Ann Millican and Chef Jeffrey Morris bought the old C'est Cheese café and have turned the space into a rustic French country eatery with a gourmet market and catering.
Millican, who worked as director of development for St. James Cathedral in Seattle for over 30 years, started "Cathedral Catering" out of its kitchens in 1999 when she noticed that the food catered to St. James fundraising events wasn't up to her standards.
"It was always expensive and not good, so I felt that I could do better, and a whole business grew out of that," she said.
Morris, known as "Cheffrey," was working as a chef aboard a large yacht that went to many exotic ports of call when Kay Kaiser, a fellow member of St. James, introduced him to Mary Ann. He and Millican began cooking together at Cathedral Catering.
The duo sought a place where they could continue to grow their successful catering business while also including a cafe that would serve gourmet breakfasts and lunch.
"We saw an opportunity with the Island and the professionals who work in this building to establish a catering/cafe combo that would be similar to the European markets I'd seen," said Morris. "You can have a meal there, grab something fresh to go and pick up baked goods such as baguettes and cheese for later on."
Morris said he and Millican didn't want to serve just average salads, so they added rich proteins like salmon or duck breast and have sandwiches that are unique, too.
"We do all our own baking, and have snacks such as brownies, bar cookies, scones, cookies, tea breads and cinnamon rolls, as well as our own `stud muffin' which has whole wheat, bran, pineapple, apple, carrots, raisins and almonds — a meal in itself!" Millican said. "We're serving a variety of breakfasts as well."
The French Market display case will feature takeout entrees and salads for home dining. Millican and Morris are renovating their space in shades of sage, burgundy and a butter yellow, and removing the soda cold case to give the dining area a more open feel. They're changing the lighting and turning the back dining room into a meeting room, where locals can have breakfast or luncheon meetings privately.
"I feel fortunate to be in this situation because I've had to provide cuisine to discriminating tastes and I know what they like," said Morris. "It's all about presentation and customer service, and great food."
The French Market is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It can be reached at 232-9810.
Design firm contributes to tsunami relief effort
Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo, an architectural and design firm at 3023 80th Ave. S.E., has contributed over $20,000 to the tsunami relief effort in southeast Asia, but they want to do more than contribute money.
Ron Mitchell, managing director of the Mercer Island office of WATG, said that since his company primarily designs hotels and resorts in Asia, they notice when their completed resorts are in trouble from lack of tourism.
"Thirty percent of our work is in the area hit by the tidal wave," said Mitchell. "But when people see the devastation (wrought by the tsunami) they think the entire country is closed for business, when most of the hotels and resorts in Indonesia weren't affected — it was mostly the coastal areas that were hit, and even then, in Malaysia, every hotel that was impacted is now up and running."
Mitchell said that because he travels in southeast Asia, he sees for himself that tourism has ground to a halt.
"What we are hearing from the resorts and hotels in these countries is that while the residents appreciate the relief money, the hotels just want people to keep traveling," he said. "Their economies are dependent on tourism."
WATG was founded 60 years ago in Hawaii, and currently has five offices worldwide and 350 employees. The firm has been on Mercer Island for three years.
"We thought it was the right place for us," said Mitchell. "There's a lot of architectural talent in the Seattle area so it's easy to recruit people."

Opus One Solutions Announced as 2018 Global Cleantech 100
Recognized in Group of Top Clean Technology Companies
San Francisco, California (January 23, 2018): Opus One Solutions, an industry leader in smart grid software solutions and services, was recognized as a prestigious 2018 Global Cleantech 100 company by CTG (Cleantech Group) at the 16th annual Cleantech Forum in San Francisco.
The Global Cleantech 100 represents the most innovative and promising ideas impacting the future of a wide range of industries, according to the players in the market. Featuring companies that are best positioned to solve tomorrow's clean technology challenges, the Global Cleantech 100 is a comprehensive list of private companies from around the world with the highest potential today to make significant market impact within a 5-10-year timeframe.
"At Opus One, we are focused on providing innovative solutions that help utilities integrate clean, renewable energy sources into traditional distribution networks in a way that creates a decentralized, more resilient grid," says Joshua Wong, President and CEO of Opus One Solutions. "We are honored to be recognized by Global Cleantech 100 as a company that will change the future of clean energy delivery and consumption."
Opus One provides a suite of solutions via its GridOS® platform that allows electric utility partners to use integrated planning, real-time data and model-based planning tools to analyze energy supply and demand, optimize and manage available grid resources, and maximize capacity providing high grid reliability and resiliency. This information and integration is becoming increasingly important as utilities plan and manage higher penetrations of solar, energy storage, demand response, electric vehicles, and other distributed energy resources (DER).
Transactive energy management is also a solution offered on the GridOS® platform and is key to unlocking the true potential of DER across the energy value chain, by calculating real-time value that resources provide to the grid. This encourages the deployment and adoption of a higher penetration of DER and enables new utility and customer business models, including transactive energy markets.
Opus One was selected from among a record 12,300 companies from 61 countries to make the list. The Global Cleantech 100 list is collated by combining proprietary CTG research data, with weighted qualitative judgments from hundreds of nominations, and specific inputs from a global 86-person Expert Panel.
To qualify for the list, companies must be independent, for-profit, cleantech companies that are not listed on any major stock exchange. Companies were weighted and scored to create a short list of 312 companies. Short-listed nominees were reviewed by CTG's Expert Panel, resulting in a finalized list of 100 companies from 18 countries.
The complete list of 100 companies was revealed on January 22nd at the 16th annual Cleantech Forum San Francisco: https://i3connect.com/gct100/the-list

What's been the biggest game changer in publishing since the Kindle was released 10 years ago? Jim and Bryan start out with a thank you to their patrons A Dragon Among Eagles: A Novel of the Roman Empire, Blogging for Authors, and The Ten-Year Turnaround: Transform Your Personal Finances and Achieve Financial Freedom. This week's tips include how authors can save tons of money by avoiding these unnecessary publishing expenses, making the transition from KU to wide a bit easier, and increasing engagement on Facebook with hints from Andrea Vahl. News includes how Anna Todd is returning to her indie roots with her next series, the latest PEW survey suggests keeping tabs on the reading habits of millennials when publishing, an inspiring interview with Mark Stay and Mark Desvaux about their Bestseller Experiment, speculation on what is triggering recent Amazon rank strips, and the 10th anniversary of the Kindle. Question of the Week: What do you think has been the biggest innovation in publishing since the Kindle device went live in 2007 and why?
Up for Chicago in May? It's the perfect time to join Jim and Bryan for the Sell More Books Summit - have you booked your tickets yet? After taking a moment to thank their patrons, Leading Effectively: Proven Leadership, Ten Little Bridesmaids, and Sanyare: The Last Descendant, Jim and Bryan share tips on better use of Amazon KDP keywords, the plus-side of releasing books quickly, and using your personal mindset to increase success. In the news, latest research indicated libraries are a powerful, expanding marketplace for authors, Harry Potter meets the creators of Pokemon Go for a new augmented reality game, Google has opened up their publishing portal again on a case-by-case basis, what options Pronoun users have now that the platform is closing, and the business model for indie authors has finally stabilized giving authors what they need to run their own scalable businesses. Question of the Week: Are you coming to the Sell More Books Show Summit on May 4-6, 2018 in Chicago? What are you most looking forward to about the conference?
Did you see the Pronoun writing on the wall? After thanking their patrons Manhunt: The Power to Restore Civilization, Creative Collaborations: How to Form Lasting and Lucrative Partnerships without Being Smarmy, Write Like a Boss: From a Whisper to a Roar, guest co-host Honoree Corder joined Bryan for tips onn setting goals, using a Twitter hack to grow your email list, and using weekly meetings to boost productivity. In a big news week, they cover changes coming in the US brick and mortar bookstores, story trends, a special Kindle app for readers in India, Audible's new romantic side, and Pronoun's last stand. Question of the Week: Should we have seen the closure of Macmillan's Pronoun coming? What should we do in the future to be prepared for major changes in the industry?
With Amazon's recent rank stripping, should authors focus on a slow and steady promo effort rather than starting off with a bang? After thanking their patrons Guerrilla Tactics Against Passive Aggression in the WorkPlace, 31 Days of Wisdom, and Wanderer's Escape, the dynamic duo of Jim and Bryan jump into tips about authors not feeling like imposters, keeping motivated during NaNoWriMo, and adjusting MailChimp settings. New items featured John Grisham's biggest financial mistake, reading easier on mobile phones, Amazon cracking down on rank manipulation, Twitter locking authors out of their accounts, and why pirated books may not be as harmless as some think. Question of the Week: Given Amazon's recent rank stripping of promoted books, do you think you'll do fewer launch-style promotions and go for the slow and steady approach? Why or why not?

Q: if else in nsdictionary i have a dictionary of array:
    array3 = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:docpath2] retain];

no problem here. now i have
an NSString *temp which contains some numbers.
i would like to check whether this number exist in the dictionary, not each array.
    if([array3 valueForKey:temp])

is this right? doesn't the if loop execute if its true?
<dict>
     <key>123456</key>
     <array>
        <string>low</string>
        <string>High</string>
     </array>
      <key>78910</key>
    <array>
         <string>low</string>
         <string>High</string>
     </array>
  </dict>

for example temp = 78910, i would like it to be found.
thks in adv

A: Not sure I get your question, but I'll give it a shot.
First, objectForKey: is the method to use as valueForKey: is for Key-Value Coding and will give you strange results should your key start with an @.
Then, if objectForKey: does return a pointer (i.e. the return value is not nil/NULL/0) then the key exists and has a value (which was returned). So yes, you can do:
if ([array3 objectForKey:temp]) {
  // Do something, the dictionary does contain a value for
  // the key referenced by "temp".
}

Now, if your keys a strings like @"123", then you can of course do [array3 objectForKey:@"123"]. But if you got an integer, then you would need to do [array3 objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", 123]].
Also note that you can also use NSNumber or NSValue as keys. So you could do:
[myMutableDictionary setObject:someObject forKey:[NSNumber numberWithInt:123]];
myValue = [myMutableDictionary objectForKey:[NSNumber numberWithInt:123]];
if (myValue) {
  // Do something.
}

A: That should work just fine. Why do you think it's not working?

Mobvoi's Tichome Mini brings Google Assistant to a portable speaker, coming later this year
Google I/O 2017
At Google I/O 2017 today, Google revealed that it was working with several new partners to release a handful of third-party, Google Assistant powered devices. One of the devices comes from one of Google's Chinese partners — Mobvoi, in the form of the Tichome Mini.
Mobvoi and Google have been working together for a while on Android Wear. Since Google's services are blocked in China, Android Wear in that country relies on Mobvoi's AI for searches. This year, Mobvoi made its way to the US with the Ticwatch 2 smartwatch, and later this year it will bring the Tichome Mini to the States.
We don't have pricing details or a specific release date just yet, but the Tichome Mini will be running Google Assistant similar to Google Home. The device will be able to perform most of the same functions as Home, but in a completely different form factor. This device is a small puck with microphones and speakers, all in a compact size that is portable thanks to the strap on the outside.
It's not confirmed yet, but I'd assume the Tichome Mini will be able to listen all the time when connected to power, like the Google Home, but will only respond to queries on its battery when a button is pushed. Battery life estimates and charging methods are also unknown at this time, but I'd expect both to line up pretty closely with Amazon's Alexa-enabled Tap speaker, which has similar capabilities.

The Use and Abuse of Identity in Public Life
https://www.facebook.com/events/390051044985200/?active_tab=discussion
Thursday, September 26, 2019 - 07:00
The question of identity has become urgent for activism in the West though the issue has been important in many other parts of the world as well in a variety of forms. Political Identities form in opposition to oppression (or, reactively, as perceived victimization) and demand recognition, rights, and equity (or aggressively promote their denial). They also divide, become separated in privilege, get co-opted, and become instruments of domination. Can identity struggles lead to fundamental social transformation or must they necessarily be limited to the horizon of recognition and reform? Can the empowerment of identity be woven into solidarity or must it necessarily be doomed to fragmentation and the sustenance of the status quo?

I never met Musharraf before becoming PM, Shaukat Aziz says in memoirs

LONDON (Web desk) - Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Shaukat Aziz launched his book 'From Banking to the Thorny World of Politics' on Thursday.

According to Geo TV, the former premier said, "before that I was a banker which is a very boring job."

Milwaukie's Ann Ober among 3 finalists for Gresham manager
Bryan Montgomery, Stephen Rymer also in running for top administrative position
Gresham City Council has selected Milwaukie City Manager Ann Ober among Gresham's three finalists for its city manager position.
Ober has been top administrator of Milwaukie since 2016, but she would be moving up from running a city of about 20,000 to 110,000 population. Ober currently makes a $157,000 base annual salary at Milwaukie, but the Gresham position will pay $185,000-$225,000.
Ober began her local government career in 2005 when she was hired by Salt Lake County, Utah. For more than six years she worked in community relations, diversity affairs, environmental policy and government affairs. She then shifted to director of the public services administrative division director for the Salt Lake City Corp, Utah. That was followed by serving as senior policy advisor and government affairs director for Park City Municipal, Utah.
Bryan Montgomery and Stephen Rymer were also selected from a pool of more than 64 candidates who applied for the Gresham role, which was vacated in June upon the retirement of longtime City Manager Erik Kvarsten.
The Gresham city manager serves as the chief executive officer of the city, overseeing staff and departments while carrying out the direction of council.
Montgomery served as the city manager of Oakley, California, since 2005. His public administration career began in 1994 when he joined the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico, as the assistant city manager. He then transitioned to Rupert, Idaho, as city administrator for one and a half years.
Rymer has been the city administrator of Rochester, Minnesota, since 2017. His first city manager role was with the city of Morgan Hill, California, for four years. He has 15 years of community services and parks and recreation-related leadership experience in New Brighton, Minnesota and Morgan Hill.
The city is seeking input and questions from the community during its search for a new city manager.
At 5:35 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, Mayor Travis Stovall is hosting a virtual community forum to introduce the finalists. Each candidate will be interviewed for 30 minutes; and will be asked questions submitted by the community. Afterward attendees will be able to provide feedback about the candidates through an online survey.

Senegalese and Mauritanian tuning their violins
Alignment of the conditions of access to fishery resources, return of seized boats and compliance with the MOU, these are the highlights of discussions between the two countries during a visit of the Minister Khoureïchi Thiam, who conveyed a message of President Wade to his Mauritanian counterpart.
At the head of a delegation of members of his ministry, parliamentarians and traders operating in the fisheries sector, the Minister of Maritime Economy, Khouraïchi Thiam visited Mauritania from Wednesday 04 to Thursday 05 August 2010. He was carrying a message from President Abdoulaye Wade for his counterpart in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, His Excellency Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.
The request made by the Head of State of Senegal, said the ministry statement said, aims at easing the conditions for access to fisheries resources and the return of Mauritanian boats entered.
The purpose of this trip is to "find appropriate solutions to the current crisis in the fishing industry in St. Louis." Indeed, we read in the press release, last month, Saint-Louis fishermen were forbidden to fish in Mauritanian waters, due to non compliance with the Protocol.
Mauritanian President reiterated the commitment of his country to "strengthen bilateral relations in fisheries, beyond the historical and cultural relations and mutual affection that binds the two heads of state. The delegation had also held a working session with a Mauritanian delegation led by Minister of Fisheries and Maritime Economy of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Ould Aghdafna Eyih.
These meetings between experts, have allowed both sides to return to the concerns of fishermen in Senegal. It is the identification of Senegalese canoes stranded; the monthly return to the issue of artisanal fishing license in lieu of a daily double declaration; taking into account the difficulties in landing catches Nouadhibou, the annual duration of the license in place and placed
In this regard, the six license applications from industrial fisheries established and transmitted in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and its protocols, find satisfaction.
In conclusion, the Mauritanian has demonstrated its readiness, waiting for strong signals regarding the Mauritanian traders compensation for damage suffered in 2008 in St. Louis. Indeed, it is in the same frame as the Senegalese side had requested and obtained at the time, the return of the 130 boats entered.

Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that "freedom is a constant struggle."
Davis's arguments for justice are formidable. . . . The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied. —New York Times
"Tackles police brutality, racism, capitalism, and every issue that starts local and ends global. Freedom Is a Constant Struggle is a great listen for a wide-lens view on social issues." —BookRiot (audio review)
"Activist and scholar Angela Davis…narrates this collection of essays, interviews, and speeches with an authorial but benevolent tone as one who has witnessed directly and indirectly so much of the inequality in the US and beyond. Her passion about these matters resonates in her raspy voice, which reflects a fierce desire to call out those forces that would deny anyone freedom…Davis' audiobook succeeds in capturing what has been done to ensure freedom and what still needs doing." —AudioFile
"Here is someone worthy of the Ancestors who delivered her. Angela Davis has stood her ground on every issue important to the health of our people and the planet. It is impossible to read her words or hear her voice and not be moved to comprehension and gratitude for our incredible luck in having her with us." —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author
"Freedom Is a Constant Struggle is a small book that will be a huge help in daily life and action, from exposing the 'prison industrial complex' that she named long ago to understanding that leaders are only leaders if they empower others." —Gloria Steinem, New York Times bestselling author

Sandro Pierri CEO letter 2023
Dear investor,
Last year was quite the journey for us all.
On the upside, most of the world returned to some kind of post-pandemic normality.
Set against this, we saw the impact of rising uncertainty caused by armed conflict, geopolitical tensions, energy and other supply crises, extreme climate events, high and persistent inflation and – as a consequence – a very rapid and steep change in monetary policy.
While these issues are certainly challenging to us all, they are the kind that we exist to manage on your behalf. Only a few will form part of the megatrends that I believe will dictate the path of the world over the next few decades.
The first, and most significant, megatrend is sustainability. While this may seem like business as usual, we need to remember that this is still a relatively new theme, and the industry is still grappling with its full impact. Regulation is complex, ever changing and not always consistent, but our early commitment to this topic has given us the strength and expertise needed to navigate this important area for our clients. This is why we continue to invest heavily in the integration of state-of-the-art ESG data into our investment decisions, and in the control framework needed to ensure our sustainability-led process delivers for our clients.
The scale of change ahead of us is unprecedented. For example, we do not simply have to cut emissions, but actively move to a net zero world. This will require the largest reallocation of capital ever seen and presents us all with the opportunity to not only reposition portfolios for sustainable growth, but to become a source of funding for a better world. A challenge of this magnitude requires a radically different level of thinking across the entire financial system that we have not had to do before.
The transition to the new world is too complex to face alone. I believe that it is only by working with clients, issuers, regulators and peers that we can create a sensible and successful way forward. Roadmaps, such as net zero and the measurement of the biodiversity impact of portfolios, will help guide our actions, but need to be applied diligently and across the board if they are to be of consequence.
Sustainability also guides how we both manage our business today and position it for the future. At the end of last year, we announced the acquisition of the majority of a sustainable forestry company, International Woodland Company (IWC). Actions such as these are not just about creating new investment opportunities for clients, but also about how we bring our commitment to sustainability to life.
Of course, the megatrends of the future are not just environmental. The growing complexity of the world necessitates greater technological innovation, and we are committed to investing in the best technology the industry has to offer to augment the stellar human capital in our firm, so that we can uncover more sources of alpha and help protect clients and the assets entrusted to us.
Finally, changing demographics require us to look even further ahead in the management of assets, underscoring why a focus on sustainable returns is so important. Active management will always be vital – after all, this is how we identify the winners of the future – but these lengthening lifespans will also require more investment in illiquid assets, such as infrastructure, that can deliver returns over years rather than months. Challenges like this are why, last year, we created a dedicated Private Assets unit, and took a majority stake in Dynamic Credit Group, a leading provider of Dutch mortgages, helping us take advantage of these areas at scale and offer new solutions to a whole spectrum of clients.
Overall, 2022 was a testing time and many of the events witnessed last year continue. While the economic cycle will prompt the return of areas such as bonds and money markets, one thing that the last few years have taught us, is that we need to expect the unexpected. Whatever we face, we face together, and our commitment to you remains firm: to provide sustainable investment returns over the long term.
Thank you for entrusting us with your assets. We cannot promise a calmer 2023, but we promise to remain by your side.
Sandro Pierri

Operation Pamphlet
Thu, 2019-Jan-24 00:46 UTC
The featured article for Thursday, 24 January 2019 is Operation Pamphlet.
Operation Pamphlet, also called Convoy Pamphlet, was a World War II convoy operation conducted during January and February 1943 to transport the 9th Australian Division home from Egypt. The convoy involved five transports, which were protected from Japanese warships by several Allied naval task forces during the trip across the Indian Ocean and along the Australian coast. The division embarked in late January 1943 and the convoy operation began on 4 February. No contact was made between Allied and Japanese ships and the division arrived in Australian ports during late February with no losses from enemy action.
The operation came after the British and United States governments agreed to an Australian government request that the 9th Australian Division be returned to Australia, ending the role of the Second Australian Imperial Force in the Western Desert Campaign. This followed a lengthy debate between the respective national leaders, with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt attempting to convince the Australian Prime Minister John Curtin to withdraw his request until the Allied victory in North Africa was complete. Curtin was unwilling to delay, as he and the Allied military leaders in the South West Pacific believed that the veteran division was needed to bolster the forces for offensive operations in New Guinea.
A convoy to return the 9th Australian Division to Australia was assembled in the Red Sea near Massawa from late January to early February 1943. The ships began their voyage across the Indian Ocean on 4 February and after refuelling at Addu Atoll, arrived safely at the Western Australian port of Fremantle on 18 February. Four of the transport ships continued to the Australian east coast, one docking at Melbourne on 25 February and the remainder arriving at Sydney two days later. After its return to Australia, the division made an important contribution to operations in New Guinea in late 1943.

You are here to awaken & remember. All are here to love and assist. There is nothing in there that says two are to be friends. Friends assume a certain commitment to each other, whereas commitment is to your own soul as one. If you love yourself and all others, friendship will not be an issue. For friendships is a human creation to create attachments, lessons, and growth.
I speak of this, as many "suffer" to the loss of friendships. The only loss is that which does not resonate with your soul. For this, it your purpose. For when you compromise your soul for another, you will stay separated within until you let go. When you embrace all that moves forward, those on the same path will then join you. Purposes will change as one continues to awaken, and many will fall away. It is in the falling away that you come to understand more about yourself. And that too is purpose.
