China's Premier wants to declare "war on pollution" as smog becomes extra horrible
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made remarks about the country's huge pollution problems during what could be described as China's equivalent of the State of the Union address in the US. He said pollution is a "major problem" and he wants the government to "'declare war'' on smog by removing high-emission cars from the road and closing coal-fired furnaces.
Not a moment too soon, and hopefully this isn't just empty rhetoric because, as we recently mentioned, China's smog is getting close to 'nuclear winter' bad...
Pollution is ''nature's red-light warning against the model of inefficient and blind development,'' Li said today in his work report at the start of this year's National People's Congress in Beijing. ''Fostering a sound ecological environment is vital for people's lives and the future of our nation."
China will fight smog with the same determination it battled poverty and all society should "act more vigorously to protect the land our lives depend upon," Li said. (source)
What China has to do is not so different from what the U.S. had to do at an earlier phase of its development. The so-called 'coal laws' in the 1940s became necessary because air quality was just terrible. See for yourself.

Arlington Park's International Festival of Racing highlights a weekend heavy on turf racing from coast to coast.
The Iselin Handicap at Monmouth Park and the Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs provide graded opportunities for the dirt runners. And Saratoga's Alabama intensifies the competition among the 3-year-old fillies.
On the international front, France and Japan feature interested graded stakes. Snow Fairy may return in one of them.
And we're off!
On the grass:
Saturday's Grade I Arlington Million lives up to its role as the marquee event of the International Festival of Racing. Headlining a program including six stakes, half of them Grade I events, the Million attracted a field of 11 and is well balanced in all respects: Ability, internationality and betting interest. The lukewarm morning-line favorite is Boisterous, a 5-year-old Phipps Stable homebred who finished second in the Arlington Handicap a month ago. He finished fifth in the rival Sword Dancer Invitational at Saratoga last year and trainer Shug McGaughey has found an equally tough spot. Among his rivals is Rahystrada, who defeated Boisterous in the Arlington Handicap by a neck after setting a comfortable pace. A half-dozen others are listed at single-digit odds, including European invaders Asfare, Colombian, 2011 Secretariat Stakes winner Treasure Beach and Crackerjack King. Wigmore Hall, who was fourth in last year's Million, is posted at 12-1 after struggling at home this year. Colombian needs watching simply because he is trained by John Gosden and ridden by William Buick -- a red hot combination this year in England, Ireland and France. This is a tough one to figure out but should be rewarding for those who succeed. If the Brits have an inside line, note that the betting shop William Hill Friday had Crackerjack King the 4-1 favorite.
In the $500,000, Grade I Secretariat Stakes for 3-year-olds on the Million "undercard," Silver Max is a deserving 9-5 favorite. The Badge of Silver colt has won six straight starts, including the Arlington Classic in May and the Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs in his last outing. Christophe Clement brings Summer Front off two wins on the New York Circuit but will be stretching that War Front colt out from 1 mile to 1 1/4 miles. This race drew two from overseas. Daddy Long Legs has had only two bad races in his seven-start career and those came in his two previous U.S. efforts. However, those were both on the Churchill Downs dirt -- in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, where he beat one of his 12 rivals, and the Kentucky Derby, where he beat none of the 19 others. Trainer Aidan O'Brien obviously is hoping for better on the lush Arlington turf course. In from France is Bayir, an Aga Khan homebred who has won three of four while moving up the class ladder. The Aga Khan is no stranger to the Arlington winner's circle.
The brand-new, $400,000, as-yet ungraded American St. Leger at 1 11/16 miles on the grass proved an instant hit, drawing a field of 12. High on the list is Jakkalberry, an Italian-based stayer who finished third in the Dubai Sheema Classic in May before a detour to Ascot in England. The Gosden-Buick combo will handle German-bred Zuider Zee in this race. Locals are headed by Team Block's Ioya Bigtime, who won the Stars and Stripes Handicap over the Arlington grass in preparation for this.
Meanwhile, at Saratoga, the 1 1/2-mile, $600,000, Grade I Sword Dancer Invitational also drew a talented, well-matched field of nine, with Turbo Compressor, Point of Entry, Brilliant Speed, Center Divider and Al Khali all looking capable of making themselves noticed.
North of the border, Sunday's $250,000, Grade II Sky Classic Stakes at 1 1/4 miles on the turf attracted eight entrants. Among them is Scalo, who has been a force among German turfers and ventured to Italy last year to finish second in the Group 1 Gran Premio di Milan. The field also includes 2009 Queen's Plate winner Eye of the Leopard and the 2010 runner-up, Hotep.
And, 3-year-old turf milers will have a chance in Saturday's $100,000 Capital City at Penn National with 10 runners signed on.
Distaffers on the turf, or "Disturf":
Arlington always supports the Million with the classy, Grade I Beverly D. for fillies and mares, worth $750,000 and, like the Million, a "Win and You're In" event for the Breeders' Cup World Championships. A pair of U.S. runners, Aruna and Marketing Mix, are the morning-line favorites after mixing it up on the East Coast in recent months. But it would be foolish to discount Up, a battle-tested filly from Aidan O'Brien's deep operation. Up has only a single win but has been facing the toughest competition in England, Ireland and France. She was fourth in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Gosden and Buick will start Joviality. German-based Kapitale has been racing in Deutschland and Italia. This also looks like a wide-open race on a challenging card.
Sunday's $200,000, Grade II Woodford Reserve Lake Placid Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Saratoga has six set to go. Among them are last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner, Stephanie's Kitten; Centre Court, winner of three straight races; and Darley Stables' Better Lucky. The others also have shown promise in a contentious mix.
Out west, Saturday's $300,000, Grade I Del Mar Oaks drew a field of 10 with Lady of Shamrock among the most likely. She has five wins in her last seven starts, including a victory in the Grade I American Oaks at Hollywood Park in her last outing. Eden's Moon won the Grade II San Clemente at Del Mar in her last start. Mary Fildes started her career at minor tracks in England and moved on to winter races in Dubai. She has only one career win, however, and that was in her first start at Bath. The others all have run well in graded stakes in Southern California.
Saturday's stakes also include the $100,000 Dauphin Miss for 3-year-old fillies going 1 mile on the Penn National turf.
Turf Sprints
If you blinked, you missed 'em. They were both on Wednesday, at Del Mar and Saratoga.
Shrug reached contention in the final sixteenth in the $85,000 Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar and won a four-way battle to the line by a nose over Lakerville. It was another neck back to Sirocco Strike in third and yet another head to the favorite, Koast, in fourth. Shrug, a 4-year-old Medaglia d'Oro colt, ran the 5 furlongs on firm going in 56.00 seconds with Victor Espinoza up.
Bridgetown led all the way in the $100,000 Troy Stakes at Saratoga but was shadowed all the way by Perfect Officer. Only in the final yards did Bridgetown win a little edge and he won by 1/2 length, capturing the event for the second straight season. Wekiva Wachee finished third. Bridgetown, a 5-year-old son of Speightstown, ran the 5 1/2 furlongs on firm going in 1:01.52 under John Velazquez.
Saturday's $150,000, Grade III Philip H. Iselin Handicap at Monmouth Park has some contenders still hoping to make a ruckus in the handicap division. Among them, Toby's Corner, the morning-line favorite among seven, won the Wood Memorial way back when -- in April -- at Aqueduct. He then struggled and just got back to the winner's circle in his last start after the Mountainview Handicap at Penn National. San Pablo won the Birdstone Stakes early in the Saratoga meeting and has only missed the trifecta once in 11 starts. Eldaafer, Gourmet Dinner, Ponzi Scheme and Small Town Talk all have one claim or another. The Iselin is 1 1/8 miles on the main track.
Ladies Classic
Grace Hall and Questing are the early favorites among seven entered for Saturday's $600,000, Grade I Alabama for 3-year-old fillies at Saratoga. Grace Hall was third in the Kentucky Oaks as the favorite but bounced back in her last start to win the Grade II Delaware Oaks handily. She was second to My Miss Aurelia in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and, should she win Saturday, those two would be high on the list for year-end honors in this division. So, too, would be Questing, who was fifth in the Breeders' Cup last November, then jumped up from the allowance ranks to win the Coaching Club American Oaks in her last start. Other in this tough field include In Lingerie, Via Villagio, Uptown Bertie, Zo Impressive and Sea Island. All have the credentials to make a showing here.
Dirt Mile
Awesome Gem is in for Sunday's $100,000, Grade III Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs. The 9-year-old Awesome Again gelding, trained by Craig Dollase, won the race last year after finishing second in the Cornhusker Handicap at Prairie Meadows. This year, Awesome Gem was third in the Cornhusker behind Fort Larned and Successful Dan. So he should be tough against 10 rivals on Sunday. Hudson Landing has run well in northern California and won the Mount Rainier Handicap at Emerald last time out. Taylor Said comes in off four straight stakes wins at Hastings. The suburban Seattle oval inherited the race from the late, lamented Longacres track which was swallowed up by Boeing.
Sunday's Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville is set to feature the seasonal debut of the globe-trotting superstar Snow Fairy. Trainer Edward Dunlop has sent the 5-year-old Intikhab mare as far afield as Hong Kong and Dubai but she has not been seen on a course in the afternoon since shw won the QE II Cup in Kyoto last November for the second straight year. She was injured while training for a try at the 12-furlong Hong Kong Vase last December. The rest of the field for the Jean Romanet is no slouch either, including the likes of Izzy Top, Galikova, Giofra and Timepiece among others.
Saturday's card at Deauville also includes the Group 1 prix Morny, a 6-furlong sprint for 2-year-olds.
Three-year-olds and up will tackle 2,000 meters in the Sapporo Kinen over the Sapporo turf course Sunday. The race, worth just north of $1.6 million, was won last year by Tosen Jordan.

Lace, Floral....
No longer having a job in which I have to worry about getting creams, tints and wax all over my clothing, it has been nice to be able to wear the pieces in my closet to my new job that I had refrained from wearing at the old one.
I found this great Banana Republic ivory colored lace top, last spring at Buffalo Exchange while still living in San Antonio. Love it. They had SUCH a great selection at that B.E. location when they first opened due to the fact that they received part of their opening shipment from NYC.
The vintage floral necklace I am wearing, I also thrifted while living in San Antonio. I purchased it at a great little vintage shop called Redemption Garb, that a friend owns. I miss that little shop, but luckily there are tons of little great vintage shops here in Seattle area as well :)
I paired the top with a black high waisted pencil skirt from H&M, black tights and my UO oxfords.
and Feathers
The other day we had a few cute little visitors on our back patio quacking around in the rain. Our kittie had a ball looking at the feathered little animals. They must be used to humans and other animals because both Dwight (cat) and I had our little noses (and my camera) pressed right up on the glass of the sliding glass door.
I am a sucker for anything animal, esp. feathered. I loved their cute little webbed feet and seeing the rain gather in little beads on their feathers and then repel right off. The cat and I had a nice time observing these little creatures together haha

Festive® Eye and Ear Drops are manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceuticals. The key component is Ofloxacin – a second-generation antibiotic from the Fluoroquinolone (or Quinolone) family with a broad-spectrum activity against susceptible organisms.
- bacterial eye infections (conjunctivitis, mucopurulent conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, and blepharitis);
- bacterial ear infections (otitis externa, chronic suppurative otitis media with perforated tympanic membranes and acute otitis media in the presence of tympanostomy tubes).
Ofloxacin effectively fights Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Propionibacterium acnes, Enterobacter cloacae, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens.
Do not use Festive® Eye and Ear Drops to treat a viral or fungal infection in the eye or ear.
MOA (mechanism of action):
Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits DNA gyrase (type II topoisomerase, and topoisomerase IV) – an enzyme crucial to separate replicated DNA, thereby inhibiting bacterial cell division. This results in bacteria death and elimination of the infection.
For eye infections:
Conjunctivitis: during days 1-2 instill 1 to 2 drops every two to four hours in the treated eye(s) during first two days; during days 3-7 instill 1 to 2 drops four times daily.
Corneal ulcer: instill 1 to 2 drops in the treated eye(s) every 30 minutes, while awake (awaken at four and six hours after sleeping and instill 1 to 2 drops); during days 3-7 to 9 instill 1 to 2 drops hourly, while awake; during days 7 to 9 instill 1 to 2 drops, four times daily.
In severe infections, apply 2 drops into the treated eye(s) hourly until improvement is obtained following which treatment should be reduced.
For ear Infections:
Otitis externa: 10 drops twice daily.
Suppurative otitis media with perforated tympanic membranes: 10 drops twice daily for 14 days.
Festive® Eye and Ear Drops are not intended for use in children under 1 year of age.
Festive® Eye and Ear Drops are for topical ophthalmic and otic use only.
Ofloxacin solution is not for injection.
Ofloxacin solution is associated with allergic reactions, even following a single dose. Discontinue using drops immediately and contact your physician at the first sign of a rash or allergic reaction.
Prolonged use may result in a fungal infection. If superinfection occurs discontinue use and institute alternative therapy.
Festive® Eye and Ear Drops may cause your vision to blur temporarily after you have applied them into your eye. Do not drive or operate machinery until this has worn off.
Avoid contaminating the applicator tip with eye, fingers or another source.
Patients should not wear contact lenses while using Ofloxacin solution for eye infection.
Wash your hands before using the eye and ear drops.
Missing a dose
If you miss a dose you should instill it as soon as you remember about your missing. If it is the time for the next dose you should continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not instill a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If an overdose occurs and you are not feeling well, stop taking the medication immediately. You should seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Store at cool room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Use within one month after opening a container. Keep out of the reach of children.

When to move species
Nature Climate Change
A novel, quantitative, decision framework to evaluate the best timing for managed species relocation is published online this week in Nature Climate Change. Managed relocation — where species are moved to a more suitable habitat — has been proposed as a means of combating negative climate change impacts on biodiversity. Though hotly debated within the conservation community, species are already being relocated to areas outside of their current range.
Eve McDonald-Madden and co-authors found that optimal timing depends partly on population size and that when a small population would benefit from time to grow before risking translocation losses, haste is ill-advised. They also found that active adaptive management — where continued information on the source and destination habitats and populations is available — facilitates better management decisions, and is especially valuable when the effect of climate change on source habitat is uncertain.

South Sudan achieved independence from Sudan in July 2011 after more than 20 years of civil war. Over 2.5 million people died as a result of the conflict, and millions more fled the violence.
Despite the referendum and South Sudan's independence, Sudanese government troops and South Sudanese militias remain engaged in cross-border fighting. The ongoing conflict in South Kordofan has wreaked havoc on civilians and forced many to flee for their lives.
Heavy fighting broke out in the capital Juba on 15 December 2013 and spread to other parts of the country, with clashes between supporters of the South Sudanese president and those of his deputy. Violence at that time claimed 10,000 lives, displaced an estimated 650,000 people and forced 125,000 to seek refuge to neighboring countries.
In July 2016, conflict again forced civilians to flee to neighbouring countries. The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said 26,000 refugees crossed to Uganda in the week of July 18, with most coming through the Elegu collection center managed by LWF. Most were women and children.
We're responding to the current crisis with humanitarian assistance to people fleeing the fighting. The LWF received at least 12,000 of the refugees at Elegu, where it has built temporary shelters to accommodate new arrivals awaiting registration and transportation, maintains water and hygiene at the collection center and provides soap and sanitary materials to all households and to women, and dignity kits for women and girls. Special attention is given to people with special needs including unaccompanied minors, separated children, people with disabilities and victims of sexual and gender based violence.
In terms of long-term support, the LWF supports education and child protection in Gendrassa, Kaya and Yusuf Batil refugee camps in the Upper Nile. In Unity State LWF supports education and child protection in Ajoung Thok refugee camp. LWF aims to improve education, protection, resilience and psycho social well-being of children in the camp through 3 primary schools, one secondary school, child friendly spaces and community based protection systems within the refugee camp.
In 2014, 202 class 8 candidates were in Ajuong Thok were registered to sit for final examinations at Napata primary school. The high number of candidates is a result of the postponement of South Sudan National examinations following the political crisis in December, 2013. The examinations are managed by Unity State though LWF facilitated the transportation and execution of the process. The examination took place from 30th January to 2nd February, 2015.

The results of the workshop Computational Modeling and Analysis Workshop II are now available.
Worldwide there are numerous organizations and individuals developing computational analysis methods and applying these tools to analyze the performance and dynamic loading of wave and ocean current devices. The goal of this workshop was to bring together these expert analysts to exchange information and experience on all aspects of developing, using, verifying and validating these computational modeling tools to improve these modeling capabilities for the mutual benefit of the global ocean energy industry.
The workshop was attended by a total of 50 participants from 12 different countries. Over the 2 day workshop, there were 27 presentations given by the participants. The categories of marine energy computational modeling and analysis presented at the meeting were as follows:
At the conclusion of the presentations for each day of the two day workshop, a facilitated discussion session was held to address the following three questions:
The take away conclusions from the workshop are that there are a number of currently available computational codes, both commercial and open source, being employed for numerical simulation of tidal and wave energy devices. Each participant gave a presentation highlighting the application of a particular wave or tidal computational code that they have been developing or using for analysis of wave and tidal devices. The workshop participants concluded that:
1. A listing of the available wave and tidal computational modeling tools with a brief description of their capabilities and a link to more in-depth information would be helpful for developers and new entrants into the marine energy field.

Like nothing else... where outlaws escaped into wildly remote and inaccessible canyons
Simply stated, the Maze is like nothing else. Legends of the old west tell stories of outlaws escaping into its wildly remote and inaccessible canyons. Our ride begins atop the Orange Cliffs with distant views of snow-capped mountains and a glimpse of the rugged terrain we'll soon encounter. Our two-night stay at the Maze Overlook will convince you there is not a more beautiful spot anywhere. The riding is as fun as anything you might find on Moab's classic trails. Both tours provide a full day of hiking through the heart of the Maze and past the Chocolate Drops formation. The six day tour allows time for a hike to the Great Gallery, a world-renowned example of ancient "Barrier Canyon" rock art.

Transitioning my kids to a Paleo diet wasn't easy, especially with my oldest who was not-quite 5 years old when we started this journey.
My daughter was extremely picky with sensory avoidance of mixed textures, strong flavors, and temperature extremes. She lacked mouth coordination and jaw strength to effectively chew foods so almost everything she ate was very soft. Her pre-Paleo staples were pre-sliced orange medium cheddar cheese on club crackers and granola that has soaked long enough in milk to become mush. She disliked all meat (except McDonald's chicken nuggets), and rarely ate vegetables (she like overcooked edemame and peas), and even wasn't a huge fan of fruit. I could count on my fingers the number of different foods she would eat (no toes required). And unlike other kids, who will eventually eat something they don't like because they are hungry enough, my daughter would literally starve.
Let me just talk about this whole kid who would literally die of starvation rather than east something unpalatable to them thing. I know parents whose children will eventually eat something if they get hungry enough don't understand that this really is possible. But, as a mother of one of each kind of child, who has tried dozens of strategies to get the picky one to eat, who was under doctor's orders to fatten her up asap because she grew so dangerously thin by one year of age, who even did occupational therapy with her to work on eating food, I can tell you this is a real thing. It's certainly a minority of kids, but the whole just send them to bed without anything else and they'll eventually eat _____ doesn't work for every kid. And, I know that those of you with kids who would actually die rather than eat something yucky are probably reading this and feeling relieved that it's not something they're doing wrong. You're not a failure, you're not alone, and there are gentle, gradual things that you can do to change this.
Our biggest hurdle with my oldest was getting her to eat meat. As she got better as chewing, she also started to enjoy the flavors of meat, and eating more vegetables and a wider variety of fruit just came along for the ride. I believe that going Paleo actually helped dramatically (from a gut health, nutrient-density to be able to build muscle, and brain health perspective in the sense of learning the coordination to eat, and calming the anxiety that she felt about food).
From my own perspective, we did a mix of firm (but reasonable) rules, encouragement, positive reinforcement, funny little games, peer pressure, yelling out of frustration (I'm not proud of it, but in the interest of honesty, I have to admit that I probably yelled more dinner times than I didn't in the early days of working on this), bribery (most typically with fruit but sometimes with dessert and sometimes with other rewards), catering (in the sense that we often provided softer meats like ground meat, chicken fingers, and grass-fed hot dog for her to eat), and patience (it took a little over a year between when we decided that we needed to work on this and when mealtimes started to feel easy at least some of the time). I can't tell you which of these strategies was actually effective. It always seemed like a moving target. What worked to get her to eat her meat one night would fail the next. So, I thought I would ask my daughter what her perspective was and share that with you.
I didn't tell my daughter what the "interview" was about before we started. All of her answers are off-the-cuff (as are most of my questions). I hope that you can find some insight and ideas in this interview, and at the very least see just how adorable (yet precocious) my daughter is!

Interview Transcript
Sarah: I want to ask you some questions about meat. And I'm hoping that the answers to your questions might help some other kids to eat healthier foods.
Sarah's Daughter: Ok, I've got it.
Sarah: Do you remember when you used to not like meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes, I do.
Sarah: What about meat didn't you like?
Sarah's Daughter: Hmm. I guess the flavor. But nowadays, now I think I like the flavor a little more.
Sarah: What's your favorite kind of meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Chicken fingers.

Sarah: Those are your favorites?
Sarah's Daughter: Uh-huh.
Sarah: What kinds of meat do you not like?
Sarah's Daughter: Liver.
Sarah: Now, you don't like liver when it's plain, but do you like it when I mix it with something else?

(Commentary: I don't think she realizes how often she eats liver hidden in something like meatloaf. Also, I think that pork chops are her actual favorite, but she pretty much eats all kinds of meat easily now)
Sarah: Why do you think you like meat now but you didn't before?
Sarah's Daughter: Because before, back in the days when we ate gluten, I think it was because my tummy was upset and it was making me not that hungry, so I didn't really eat my meat.
Sarah: So, do you think you like meat now because your tummy isn't upset very much anymore?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think that getting bigger and getting better at chewing foods might be part of why you like meat now?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: Do you remember that it used to be hard to chew meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Oh yeah. I kept chewing and chewing and chewing for hours.
Sarah: You remember that?
Sarah's Daughter: Uh-huh.
Sarah: And you had a hard time swallowing after you chewed it; do you remember that?
Sarah's Daughter: Yeah. Because I was afraid I might choke on big pieces.
Sarah: Is that why?
Sarah's Daughter: Uh-huh.
Sarah: So you would chew and chew and chew and not swallow because you were afraid of choking?
Sarah's Daughter: Yeah.

Sarah's Daughter: Nuh-uh.
Sarah: Do you think it's kind of easy to eat meat now?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes, it's easy.
Sarah: So, Mommy and Daddy had some pretty firm rules about meat, right?
Sarah's Daughter: Right.
Sarah: You had to eat the meat on your plate and stuff like that?
Sarah's Daughter: But I didn't want to and I didn't.
Sarah: But then you did it anyway- Oh, you didn't want to do it because it was a rule?
Sarah's Daughter: Right.
Sarah: Do you think having that rule helped you like meat or do you think you would have started to like meat anyway?
Sarah's Daughter: I think I would have started to like meat anyway.
Sarah: Do you think-
The Foundations of Health Workshop 2020
Join me for unique educational experience, a 3-day weekend workshop that is equal parts relaxation and learning!
Over the 3-day workshop, I will teach you about: the updated foundational diet and lifestyle principles for optimal health; gut health and the microbiome, and how to use genetic analysis to personalize diet, lifestyle and medicine.
Sarah's Daughter: I gradually got meat because I gradually started to like my meat and also because all of these rules were like, not working, so I gradually ate my meat.
Sarah: So you just gradually ate your meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Uh-huh.
Sarah: What do you think would be better than those rules if there's, like, another kid out there that doesn't want to eat their meat; what do you think their Mommy and Daddy should do?
Sarah's Daughter: Hmm, let me think. (long pause) I think they should practice.
Sarah: Practice eating meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Uh-huh.
Sarah: Is that the same thing as having rules that you have to eat it or is it a little bit different?
Sarah's Daughter: It's a little bit different.
Sarah: Ok, can you explain to me how it's different?
Sarah's Daughter: Well, it's because practicing is being free, and [you are] trying to remember "eat my meat, eat my meat, eat my meat." Even though you don't want to just have to eat your meat. And then the flavor will gradually become better. When you have rules, it's like you have to do something instead of remembering.
Sarah: So, do you think it should be up to the kid to try to eat meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: What do you think a mommy and daddy should do if a kid won't eat, or even try, their meat? (pause) What do you think the mommy and daddy should say to get the kid to try their meat?
Sarah's Daughter: You never know. You might like it. You never know if you don't try. This could be a favorite meat.
Sarah: And what if a kid tries it and doesn't like it?
Sarah's Daughter: The parents would say, "You still have to eat it anyway."
Sarah: And do you think that would work?
Sarah's Daughter: Um, maybe. (pause)
Sarah: What advice do you have for kids who don't like meat? What would you say if you were trying to help them like meat; what would you say to them?
Sarah's Daughter: Okay, this one's hard. Hmm. (long pause) I would take lots of chances and keep saying things like, "You might like it if you try. You don't know if you like it if you don't try."
Sarah: Now, you used to not like meat, and we had the rule that you had to eat it, and you kept eating it and kept eating and then you started to kind of like it. Do you think that might happen to other kids too?
Sarah's Daughter: Um, yes.
Sarah: Do you think that eating more meat has made you healthier?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes. It's made me grow fatter.
(Commentary: We just finished reading Secret Garden and in that book, the kids getting "fatter" was a mark of health. It's not that she means fat in the negative way our society usually uses this term, but I think she means robust or solid. She's put on a lot of muscle in the last year and a half and that's well reflected in her strength, speed and coordination.)
Sarah: And that's good, because you're stronger now, right?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: And faster—
Sarah's Daughter: I used to have had to drag tree branches. Now I can lift them clearly up in the air.
Sarah: Uh-huh. And you're getting much faster too.
Sarah's Daughter: Yeah! I could probably run from where the hose it to where the big red dirt is, with the fence. I could probably run there in a minute or so.
Sarah: Do you think you have more energy?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think you sleep better?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: And do you think all of that is because you're eating more meat?
Sarah's Daughter: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think it's also some of other healthy foods you eat?
Sarah's Daughter: More vegetables.
Sarah: That's probably true too.
Sarah's Daughter: And I'm not eating as much things that are not good for me like back in the days when we ate gluten.
Sarah: That's right. So if a kid doesn't want to eat their meat, and they don't like it, what do you think the mommy and daddy should let them eat?
Sarah's Daughter: They should let them eat more tastier kinds of meat that are still healthy for them and they should let them eat more tastier things that are not meat like vegetables, for example. That still help them.
Sarah: That's a very good idea.
Sarah's Daughter: Thank you.
Sarah: So that's all of my questions, did you have anything else that you wanted to say about helping kids learn to like healthy foods?
Sarah's Daughter: There is one thing I want to say which is a closing sentence.
Sarah: Alright, let's hear your closing sentence.
Sarah's Daughter: Thank you for letting me…what's that word again? Thank you for letting me interview for Mommy's blog. I answered so many questions and Mommy thinks this is a really good idea. I'm sure lots of kids would like to follow both rules that I came up with and get healthy. Thank you. Goodbye.
Sarah: Very good.
Sarah's daughter: Thank you.
**Special thanks to my assistant's son Liam for transcribing the interview!**

What is a practicum loan?
The loan period for documents borrowed or renewed at the Resource Centre is normally 14 days. We are offering an extended loan period called a "practicum loan" to minimize the need for undergraduate students of the Faculty of Education from having to return to campus during their practicum.

- The practicum loan is available only at the Faculty of Education Resource Centre, and only for materials belonging to the Centre.
- Practicum loans are available as of January 30th, 2017 for undergraduate students of the Faculty of Education.
- Remember to request the extended loan period at the circulation desk when checking out materials.
- If you have already borrowed materials and wish to keep them for your practicum, you can request a practicum loan for those items at Resource Centre's circulation desk.
- The practicum loan is available for books, CDs, DVDs, posters, puppets and kits belonging to the Centre.
- The practicum loan is not available for videos that have a booking or items with a hold on them, or when you have more than $10 in fines on your library account.
- Please note that we may require up to 24 hours to ensure a kit is complete and ready for you to sign out. You may reserve kits up to 3 days in advance for your practicum loan.
- Online renewal: books, CDs, and DVDs can be renewed online. To renew other items, come to the Resource Centre's circulation desk or contact us.
- If you do not request a practicum loan and you forget to renew your checked out items online, you will be responsible for all accumulated fees. For regular loans, there is 50¢/day for each book and $2/day for each CD or DVD that is returned late.
- Please be sure to check your email and your online library account regularly because a borrowed item can be recalled at any time. If this should happen, you are obligated to respect the new due date.

Sometimes, it's good to take things apart. Sometimes, it isn't.
An example for not- so- good taking apart of things is ripping the space bar off your laptop to figure out wether or not there is coffee under the keyboard. It is nigh impossible to get the bugger back into place and makes posting on your blog an adventure. Err.
A better idea is to go to the charity shop and buy an old necklace for just about next to nothing and then take it to pieces. Weird and wonderful pieces, like wooden beads with gorgeous crocheting around it and loads of little sparkling crystals. I lurve me some of that.
To get from necklace to this took about an hour... well worth it!
Then, if your hands are still your friends, it's an even better idea to reassemble all the bits and pieces into a little set of earrings and bracelet and display it proudly on your fantastic new £stretcher goblet for £2.
Totally wearable, and there's not another piece like it. I think I'll sport those babies at work today!
On a bit of a darker note, the kid I told you about yesterday totally messed up last night.
He ignored his 10 pm curfew and was picked up at half eleven by the police lurching around a neighbourhood miles away from ours with two other kids who ran off when the police materialized. They brought him home, and I managed not to explode. Still haven't exploded yet, and I hope not to at all. He is, for now, getting the silence treatment until we have made up our minds as to what to do. I don't want to give up on the lad, but at 14 he is old enough to know that whatever you do has consequences. The man and I will figure out together what these consequences are exactly, but they WILL sting.
For now he's stewing in his own juice, and that's quite alright. A lot better than being shouted at anyway.
Oh, the joy of being a...

Building Information Governance
To govern information now requires mastery of a diverse, often international, portfolio of legal rules, technology standards, business policies, and technology, all applied across increasingly complex, distributed systems and repositories. The increased scrutiny and requirements of official agencies and business partners impose new requirements for compliance documentation and transparency. This course introduces participants to a structured design approach that will enable strong, responsive and resilient information governance to be incorporated into the design and management of digital assets. 21st century information governance must navigate and embrace records management, privacy, electronic discovery, compliance, information security, corporate governance, and transparency of operations—all of these will be considered in this course.
Course dates
|18th May 2020
|Oxford University Department of Computer Science
|09 places remaining.
The successful participant will:
- achieve an understanding and ability to explain the diverse sources of requirements that give substance to the complexity and value of information governance;
- acquire a capability to analyse these requirements and map their detailed criteria into process models and controls that govern the creation and use of digital information assets throughout their lifecycle;
- exercise the requisite skills at analysing and navigating conflicting and non-aligned rule systems in order to structure unified approaches to governing information that are defensible and capable of rapid adaptation to changing requirements;
- evaluate alternative strategies for implementing information governance objectives across various tools, including policies, procedures, contracts, application designs, and cloud-based services.
- use the knowledge gained to develop an integrated, substantive proposal for establishing or improving information governance within a defined scope of application.
This course will present a range of substantive primary materials for review and analysis, emphasising the execution of information governance across complex systems that require navigating private and public networks, cloud-based services, mobile devices, and divergent and often conflicting third-party interests. The course will survey and consider requirements from the EU, selected member states, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as diverse international standards organisations (International Standards Organisation, Cloud Security Alliance, Dublin Core Initiative, etc.).
- Defining Information Governance in the 21st Century
- Developing Risk and Resources for Information Governance
- Identifying the Legal Rules for Governing Information
- Identifying the Technology Standards for Governing Information
- Identifying the Business Rules for Governing Information
- Building and Executing Due Diligence Programs and Requirements Analyses
- Navigating the Hot Spots in Information Governance (topics subject to change)
- Privacy
- Information Security
- Cloud Services
- Bring Your Own Device
- Electronic Discovery
- Social Media
- Web Page Content
- Distributed Databases
- Big Data Analytics
- Rules-based Design for Information Governance - A Structural Model
- Building and Document Compliance with Information Governance Rules
- Strategies for Automated Execution and Enforcement
- Integrating Information Governance into Corporate and IT Governance
- Building the Business Case — the Successful Economic Arguments
The primary textbook supporting the course is Achieving Digital Trust: The New Rules for Business at the Speed of Light, by Jeffrey Ritter. Students will consider the primary texts of various national laws and regulations, standards from various international organisations, and selected best practice publications and guides issued by those organizations. Due to the dynamic and volatile nature of this field, new materials are anticipated to be incorporated into the course which are not yet currently available.

Work With A Professional French Translator
I am a freelance translator and proofreader, providing native French translation services since 2009. I've spent a few years learning the ropes in a localization company before becoming independent.
My experience spans over more than a dozen industries and well over a hundred clients. I can adapt my style and tone to your specific needs, so you can benefit from the best localization experience possible.
Work directly with a reliable and accurate translator to enjoy several advantages.
A Methodical Approach To Translation
I follow a rigorous process to deliver quality translations.
- Translation draft – I prepare a draft of the French document, following any specific instructions given and using professional translation tools for consistency
- Manual editing & proofreading – Unless your project is urgent, I will let the text rest a bit so I can edit it with a refreshed mind. I then go over the whole translation to check its accuracy and fluidity. Next come spell and grammar checks, both manually and using specialized applications
- Quality assurance – Before delivery, I run my final draft through advanced tools to fix any issues left. Such solutions go far beyond what traditional spellcheckers offer: they detect typos (including homophones), common mistranslations and literal translations of English words, syntax errors, inconsistencies at a word/sentence level, missing numbers and punctuation, formatting issues for complex file types, and more
- Delivery – Finally, you receive the French translation by the agreed deadline
After delivery, I remain available for edits and additions. I deal with such queries promptly, so you meet your deadlines.
Quality Given Priority
Ethics – No translator can translate anything. Translation requires skills and familiarity with the subject. Nobody specializes in everything.
If I have the slightest suspicion the work at hand is out of my scope, or I can't handle it for moral reasons, I will inform you right away. In this case, I will try to refer you to a colleague, when possible.
Tailored services – A good translation requires preparation and a strong mutual understanding. I will learn about the background of your project and your products/services. After that, I will prepare a glossary together with a style guide. We can discuss specific requests in terms of style and tone at this stage.
Well-polished French copy: Grammar, conjugation, terminology and spelling mistakes turn prospects away and give a poor image of your company. I always proofread my texts and check them with advanced tools.
Punctuality – Timing can be crucial. If your project requires immediate attention, my experience allows me to translate fast while maintaining high quality standards. I always deliver and answer support requests in time.
Localization expertise – As an industry expert, I understand every technical aspect of the process. I will assist you every step of the way, from file preparation to text integration. I can also handle texts in most file formats, from Office documents to InDesign files. That includes common programming languages.
Heavily formatted document types are not an issue either: your brochures, presentations, booklets, packaging, flyers and other marketing assets are in good hands
Experience – My clients include prestigious companies covering various industries, from manufacturing and software development to financial services and legal consulting. Enjoy the same quality standards as market leaders.
Moreover, if you are selling a product or service, my experience optimizing the value of localization projects can help you improve your business outcomes. For example, if you are translating website listings or an App Store description, I will follow SEO/ASO and copywriting best practices.
Finally, I keep up with the developments of the translation industry by regularly attending conferences and seminars, sometimes giving presentations myself. I constantly learn to keep my ability to offer you relevant services.
Working With A Freelance Translator Offers Many Advantages
You could be tempted to work with a translation agency to simplify project management. However, hiring a reliable professional French translator directly will benefit you in several ways:
- Lower costs – No middlemen, no agency fees. Freelance translators offer their services at more competitive rates.
- Quality and consistency – With an agency, you never truly know who is working on your text. It can cause great variations in style and tone. With a single provider, you eliminate accuracy and consistency issues.
- Quick and smooth communication – Need a quick answer? Talk directly to the translator in charge. You will convey your needs easier and faster. A smooth translation process is all about proper communication. Clients and translators should be able to exchange notes seamlessly.
Expert Services By A Seasoned Translator
Translation is a vast industry, and it is impossible for a translator to specialize in everything.
Having said that, with over 10 years of experience in the language industry and through my personal hobbies and interests, I have developed my skill set to include the following subjects. Hopefully you will find some place where our stories connect.
- IT/Software/Computer hardware: As an IT graduate, that was one of the first specializations in my portfolio. The content I translate ranges from user manuals to technical documentation to press releases and more. I keep up with this fast-moving industry, and recent technologies such as AI, machine learning, virtualization and cloud computing hold no mysteries to me
- Games: A hobby since my childhood. I have been playing games as far as I remember, that is since the NES days. Incidentally, my career as a translator started in a video game localization agency. I am credited in a number of console games (and uncredited in many, many more, unfortunately), and I have worked on hundreds of smartphone titles during the past few years
- Industrial and consumer electronics: A common field of work since my early days as a translator. Broad range of document types, including technical documentation, manuals, specifications and promotional materials
- Cryptocurrencies/Forex: As a freelancer dealing with different currencies, this has always been a topic of interest. As for cryptocurrencies, I've been on board pretty early – some years back, I was offered a payment in Bitcoin for what was worth 1 Bitcoin at the time, when the rate was still under $100. I politely declined, and the mistake still haunts me today. Still, it didn't stop me from translating various websites and white papers related to cryptocurrencies in the meantime
- Business/Marketing/Entrepreneurship: Again, as a freelancer/de facto business owner, who once considered starting his own agency, these are topics I have been studying rather intensively, both in French and in my working languages. I frequently translate websites, press releases, marketing collaterals and communications for fellow entrepreneurs and small businesses
- SEO/Websites/E-learning: Here again, my former experience as a professional webmaster comes in handy. And I have been honing my SEO skills for over 10 years now, as I know how powerful of a sales tool it can be. I hope you will find this website a convincing testament of my ability in this area. From keyword research to search engine-friendly content writing, you can count on me
- Sports: I keep up with a number of sports in both my native French and my working languages (English, Japanese). I have personally played tennis and handball in my childhood, and I have been a close follower of soccer, rugby and motorsports (Formula 1, Moto GP, WRC mostly) for decades now. More generally, I enjoy translating content related to sports, such as news, match reports and technical analyzes
- Fitness/Health: I regularly exercise and do resistance training to stay in shape, while keeping an eye on my nutrition. This has led me to read a lot about these topics in different languages, and that's also one type of content I can enthusiastically work on
- Travel/Tourism: A common hobby, especially for translators, I reckon. I do, however, have significant experience in this field, including promotional assets for my local town (descriptions of temples, specialty food, crafting techniques) and brochures for various touristic areas
- Children's books: As a father of 3, I have naturally developed an interest in this literary sub-genre. I like how great stories can be beautifully told with simple words. Writing with a young audience in mind is always a pleasure
A Proven Track Record In The Localization Industry
I have successfully been working with various partners: individuals, companies small and large, well-reputed translation agencies, fellow translators and more. Here are a few quotes from satisfied customers who kindly agreed to share their feedback:
From the first project to our 4th now, Anthony has been professional, dependable, and always ahead of the deadline with highest quality. I hope we can keep you busy enough to keep you away from our competitors!
Our company has been cooperating with Anthony for already several years and we regret we have not still left a positive feedback. Anthony is a wonderful translator, always ready to help and gives high quality results. Besides high qualification level Anthony has wonderful communication skills which makes working with him benefit and pleasure at the same time.
Responsive and reliable translator.
It was a great experience to work with Anthony with English-to-French translation. Thank you for being prompt and scrupulous!
Direct localization of our web page files in HTML and PHP format went smoothly. Job was delivered very quickly and accurately. Superb service!
You will find the complete list and details here.
Free Services And Machine Translation Aren't Up To Par
Machine translation has improved over the past decade, most experts agree on that. Online services and automated translation apps have their benefits. However, even the best of them are still far from offering the same quality as human translators.
Results are unpredictable, sometimes to comical effect. While it is not much of an issue if you just want to understand the general meaning of a document, it is much more problematic when you plan to use your translated texts for publication or commercial purposes. Automated translation mistakes are making news regularly.
To get a quick idea of the subject of an article or post you saw online, tools such as DeepL can certainly help. But for any professional needs, a reliable provider will always be your best option.
Let's Get Started Now
Ready for your next translation project? The fastest way to get started is contact me by e-mail or use the form below to ask for a quote. I will analyze your needs and answer within 24 hours.
If you already have documents ready at hand for translation, please attach them to your quote request. However, if you are only inquiring ahead of a project, it would help to know a few things: the subject of the source text, its file format, expected word count and specific needs in terms of time frame and delivery format.
Besides translation requests, I will be happy to answer any questions regarding the localization process. Let's analyze your objectives together and determine how we can make your globalization initiatives work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your translation services cost?
You can use this tool to get a quick, general idea of translation costs. However, rates can vary considerably depending on a number of factors, the main ones being:
- Content type and difficulty
- File format – Files in plain text are cheaper to translate than heavily formatted or non-editable documents
- Urgency of the project
For an accurate estimate, the best way would be to send me your source files or at least a sample of them, together with any specific needs you may have, such as formatting or deadline. I will prepare a personalized quote within 24 hours.
How do you ensure the quality of your translations?
All translation jobs and projects come with their own context and needs. If you have a specific style in mind or existing localized materials, we can discuss it and establish a style guide and bilingual glossary.
I use translation memories to further ensure consistency and accuracy of translated materials, even when translations are spaced out in time.
Finally, I follow a strict quality assurance process that includes manual proofreading and automated checks with advanced, professional solutions.
I have a very large/urgent project, can you handle it?
For very large projects or ones that require very quick turnaround times, I can build a small team of trusted French translators to meet deadlines while keeping a high level of quality. Please contact me with more details so we can find the best solution.
I need to translate my documents in several languages, can you help me?
I only translate into French myself, but you can hire me as a freelance project manager and I will work with colleagues who have my professional trust to handle multilingual projects. While I can't handle just any language this way, I have built an extensive network of quality linguists over the years to cover the most common language combinations.
Do you also offer interpreting services?
Interpretation is a different discipline altogether. I have some interpreting experience and may help, but can't guarantee it. I mostly offer text translation services. However, I can recommend qualified candidates for your interpreting projects.
Do you offer transcription services?
Yes, I offer French verbatim and edited transcription services. Please e-mail me with details for a quote.
Do you offer copywriting and localized SEO services?
Yes, I offer French copywriting/creative translation/transcreation/localized SEO services. Please e-mail me with details for a quote.
Are you a native French speaker?
Yes, and I only translate into my native language. Although many freelance translators claim to be bilingual linguists, most of us have a preferred language. I grew up in France speaking French, which is why I focus on translations from English into French rather than the other way around.
Can you translate into Canadian/Swiss French?
Yes. Although my native dialect is French from France (also called Parisian French or Continental French), I work with several companies based in Canada and Switzerland.
Variations between each dialect are relatively minor and I am trained to handle them. For creative works, it may be a good idea to ask a local to check the content for cultural appropriateness, but it's a good practice you should follow for any localization project.
Do you work with professional software?
Yes. To achieve high levels of quality and consistency, I work with professional translation environments. SDL Trados Studio 2017 for translation/Xbench for QA are my daily tools, but memoQ, Memsource, Passolo, Idiom WorldServer and others are just as fine.
Are you interested in in-house jobs/contracts with a fixed salary?
I only offer freelance services although work on-site is a possibility. I define rates after taking various factors into consideration rather than charging a determined salary or hourly fee. Long-term and recurring projects are always welcome, but I can only book my time for confirmed assignments. I am self-employed and have no plans to change that status.
For a translator who can work a fixed number of hours every week, you should consider hiring a full-time employee.
I need my product localized, but I am not familiar with the process
Besides translation services, I offer articles to help you optimize the process. They cover various topics, including best practices and cost reduction tips. Here are a few examples of articles I've written to assist clients in the localization field:
- Best practices for software localization
- 12 tips to reduce localization costs
- Internationalization checklist
Please check my FAQ and confidentiality policy pages for more answers to the following questions:
- What is your turnaround time?
- Can you accept urgent projects?
- What are your rates? Do you offer discounts?
- My budget is tight, can you help me?
- Do you offer a guarantee?
- Do you translate from French to English as well?
- Can you translate any type of content?
- What payment options do you offer?
- What do you need from me?
- Do you guarantee security and confidentiality of my data?

Cowboys, Patriots NFL's richest franchises on Forbes' top 50
The Dallas Cowboys' lack of success in the playoffs draws endless mockery, but nobody can knock Jerry Jones' club for its money.
Forbes announced its annual list of the world's 50 most valuable sports teams Wednesday and, as usual, Dallas was near the top of the list; just after the usual soccer suspects and MLB's New York Yankees.
Twenty-nine other NFL teams cracked the list, too, with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Oakland Raiders not quite making the cut. Here they are, based on their overall rank, including each team's worth:
5. Dallas Cowboys (owned by Jones), $2.3 billion
8. New England Patriots (Robert Kraft), $1.8 billion
9. Washington Redskins (Daniel Snyder), $1.7 billion
10. New York Giants (John Mara, Steve Tisch), $1.55 billion
12. Houston Texans (Bob McNair), $1.45 billion
14. New York Jets (Woody Johnson), $1.38 billion
17. Philadelphia Eagles (Jeffrey Lurie), $1.314 billion
18. Chicago Bears (McCaskey family), $1.252 billion
19. Baltimore Ravens (Steve Bisciotti), $1.227 billion
20. San Francisco 49ers (Denise DeBartolo York, John York), $1.224 billion
21. Indianapolis Colts (Jim Irasay), $1.2 billion

Solo Travel and the Foods We Love
Bitter marmalade, the buzz about "seasonality," and designing food menus for coffee fanatics
"So many new ideas can take shape when you travel alone. It's healthy and almost necessary to feel vulnerable when you're in a new place—you have to really listen to yourself. What am I doing next? How should I spend my time? What am I hungry for? It's really all on you."
Hedy Macferran, Director of Culinary at Blue Bottle Coffee, credits her travel experiences—particularly her solo adventures—with moments of revelation in the kitchen.
Here, she shares more about her travel philosophy, the food she loves, and the creative challenges of designing food menus for coffee people.
How have your travels shaped your perspective, culinary or otherwise? Was there a defining moment that shifted how you thought about food?
Yes, and it was quite simple, actually: I was 19 and I was having breakfast in Paris with a friend at our hostel. The breakfast was nothing more than warm bread, homemade butter, bitter marmalade, and café au lait. And yet, I had never experienced such joy. It was a real awakening—I almost felt like I was eating for the first time.
I grew up with so little I genuinely believed that one had to be rich and famous to experience wonderful food. I thought food was this complicated, unreachable thing. But this experience gave me access. It changed my perception. The simple ingredients were key. In Paris, I walked through markets and experienced tiny, hidden restaurants. For the first time, I understood the connection. All I needed was a devotion to simplicity, locality, seasonality.
What do those words mean, do you think? There's so much hype about simplicity and seasonality—and people have come to accept these ideas as valuable—but what significance do they hold for you?
I remember traveling in Italy to visit a college friend, and I was astounded by the fact that he and his friends were so proud of their country—showing me what to eat in certain regions, in their small towns, the environment and seasonality of the place. There are definitely "rules" in Italy about what you eat when and where. This experience was eye-opening, and in a strange way, it made me feel more patriotic. I wanted to feel this way about my own country! I wanted to understand what my culinary identity was at its roots, because food really grounds me. Wherever I am in the world, food helps me create a sense of place, a sense of self.
To cook and serve something that speaks to my core, I have to have ingredients that are cared for and grown in a place where they thrive. I always look to farmers for inspiration—they're closest to the food. Once you understand and trust your ingredients, cooking can be the simplest, truest act.
A lot of people feel a desire to travel, even if they can't pinpoint exactly where that desire comes from. Why do you think travel is important?
Traveling is part of living. What I do in Israel or Bulgaria or The Netherlands or China is the same as what I do here—I'm still the same person with the same desires and interests, but in a different style, a different setting. You start to recognize connections between who you are at home and who you are somewhere else, which is why traveling alone can be so life-changing. If you're lucky, you come to recognize your core impulses; only the peripherals change.
I grew up with a lot of noise, and in an attempt to redirect my life, I had to learn how to listen to myself and discover who I was and what I wanted. Solo traveling really helped me do that. More recently, my solo travel has become shorter, but there are still a lot of opportunities to do it—like taking a trip to Point Reyes for a weekend, or going on a hike by myself, or even eating at a restaurant alone. I love making time for these moments of solitude.
When you're in a new place, especially by yourself, how do you know where to look for restaurants or other dining options?
It's always fun to cast a net and ask for recommendations from trusted friends. I also love surprise discoveries—walking around in a new place until at last you stumble upon some hidden gem of a restaurant, cafe, or bar. If I am in a place that is completely new, I always, always go to farmers' markets. That's where you'll find the best local color—and where you'll also have the joy of meeting the people who produced your food. There's nothing better.
How have your travel experiences informed the way you and your team developed the new menu?
Well, we started from scratch, but we didn't really start from scratch. We started with coffee, of course, and an exceptional tradition of Blue Bottle pastries from Caitlin Freeman. We also had 22 cafes to start with. Think about that! There was a whole spectrum of cafe experiences in a variety of neighborhoods. We considered each individual place, as well as the overall experience. We used local cues and our surroundings to orient ourselves. Chef Scott Boggs guided our efforts in LA, and Chef Ryan Hart steered us forward in NY. And the menus are reflective of not only each region, but also each city block, each cafe.
If you think about a place like our Hayes Valley Kiosk, there's no place to sit down and eat. So, that inspires a kind of street-food interpretation of a cafe menu—you need foods that you can pop into your mouth as you're walking away. Like an espresso—you don't walk down the street and sip it for an hour. What someone wants to eat at our Ferry Building Arcade is very different from what someone wants to eat at, say, our Echo Park location. And what's in season in Japan currently is very different than what's in season in Northern California. So, our New York cafes are currently using dates in their breakfast bars, while our LA cafes are using cherries. The food is connected to the place.
If you could eat any meal in any place right now, where would it be and what would you eat?
A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. While there, I purchased three different types of mole—mole poblano rojo, mole de ajonjoli, mole almendrado—from a vendor by the name of Chiles Secos, as a souvenir for my partner Paul. Tonight, we're going to experience all three at home with seared chicken breast, Mexican rice, and homemade pickled carrots.
For me, cooking at home is so dictated by the moment that it always provides a sense of emotional completeness. Whether it's consciously or casually undertaken, I think it's the best way to enjoy a meal—even more so if you can be with the people you love.

(BOSTON) – Representative Garrett J. Bradley (D-Hingham) joined his colleagues in the Legislature to pass a bill on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 updating public records laws and enhancing accountability measures.
The legislation, which received unanimous votes in both the House and Senate and was signed by Governor Baker on Friday, June 3, 2016, creates a standardized timeframe and process in which requested documents must be produced and ensures that judicial remedies can be sought.
"This bill will increase transparency and the use of technology without adding what amounts to an unfunded mandate on to our cities and towns", said Rep. Bradley. "I am grateful to all my colleagues in the Legislature for working together to provide a necessary update to the state's public records laws."
This consensus legislation represents the first update to state's public records law in more than 40 years. Under the bill, Massachusetts will have standardized processes through which the public can access records and guidelines for the fees associated with obtaining documents. Additionally, the legislation requires agencies – and municipalities to a feasible extent – to provide commonly requested public records online.
To create a predictable and rigorous timeline for responses, the bill mandates that records access officers comply with a request within ten business days of receipt. If the officer is unable to do so, he or she must contact the requester to identify pertinent documents, provide specific reasons for withholding, or give a reasonable timeframe in which the agency will produce the records. Agencies must comply within 15 days, and municipalities must comply within 25 days. Upon a showing of good cause, a single extension of not more than 20 business days for an agency or 30 days for a municipality may be granted.
To ensure that taxpayers can reasonably access records, agencies may not charge for the first four hours of employee time to search for, compile, segregate, redact or reproduce records. Municipalities may not charge for the first two hours of employee time unless they have a population of 20,000 or less. If a records officer fails to respond to a request within ten business days, no fee may be charged.
The judicial provisions, processes and remedies contained in this bill significantly heighten enforceability and accountability measures. Previously, courts were unable to award attorney fees, address improperly incurred costs or award civil damages. This legislation also permits punitive damages, which will be no less than $1,000 and no more than $5,000, to be awarded if the court finds an agency or municipality did not act in good faith.

Have a Question or Want to Share Your Experience?
Yesterday I was hiking in nature trying to connect with myself and nature.
And for some reason the singing of the birds caught my attention. When I turned my head I saw a little bluebird passing by.
Bluebirds are very rare in this region. So I googled the spiritual meaning of seeing a bluebird. I never felt this 'oneness' of the universe so strong before.
Thank you for this post! <3Reply
ive been having hard times, i was looking at this picture of my grandfather and i love him so much. I went outside to clear my mind and listen to music. When i saw a blue bird fly by and i immediately thought it was a sign , found many websites about being a sign about an angel and that you will have happiness and all that , while i was reading this i just looked around and the bird was looking at me , this had me crying , thank you means a lot!Reply
I was having an anxiety attack again and I started praying whilst crying. Halfway through my prayers, a thought came into my head. It felt like a bird and I know the colour is blue. It was such an odd feeling. I didn't hear it. I didn't see the image in my head but somehow my intuition was saying "bluebird". I just HAD to look it up. Thank you for writing this. It means a lot.Reply
I have a female blue bird who is going from window to window in my home. I don't know what to do. Do you have any advise. Thank You Mary LouReply
I just had a vivid dream last night of a bluebird of happiness. I was so thrilled to see it during the dream and I told my brother in the dream that it was very auspicious to see one. Anyway just thought I'd share that. Thanks!Reply
I was touched this New Year's 2016 in Mount Vernon, Ga by an Blue Jay Bird right on the top of my head. That i wore White,Blue, & Yellow with jewelry. May anyone know this meaning..?Reply
I received a bluebird tea set from my sister for Christmas. The little bird is looking over its shoulder, the little black eyes glittering with spiritual significance. After having read this post, I have decided to follow the bluebird and take on your advice, something I desperately need to learn! To just let go, enjoy and not to take life so seriously but to live it.
So thank you for this blog post! Be aware that you've changed one person's life for the better by relaying this important spiritual message.
Thank you and have a great new year!
It is winter time here and I looked out my kitchen window and I count 6 Blue Birds wonderfulReply
