Description of Indochina holiday, Hanoi to Bangkok via AngkorThis epic 22 day Indochina tour takes you from Hanoi in Vietnam to Thailands Bangkok with a heck of a lot of Cambodia in between. Cruise in Halong Bay, explore the walled city of Hue and take an overnight train from Hoi An to Nha Trang and before you know it youll be heading down to Ho Chi Minh City and preparing to travel by public bus over the border into Cambodia.
Discovering the all too recent tragedies that befell Cambodia is still evident in Phnom Penh and makes a subsequent homestay experience in a rural village all the more humbling and deeply insightful.
No Indochina holiday would be complete without spending time in Angkor Wat with an epic overland drive from Siem Reap to Bangkok definitely worth a cool glass of Chang to go with a beggars banquet of street food stalls and exciting night markets.

Small group adventureWhat is a small group adventure?
It's a great way to travel! Whether you are travelling on your own, with a partner or with friends, a small group trip is a fantastic way to see the world. You'll travel on a fixed itinerary that has been designed to help you discover the best of region. From the known highlights, the hidden gems that you won't find in the guidebooks.
Itineraries run on set departure dates, accompanied every step of the way by an English speaking local group leader. You chose the itinerary and the date that suits you best and you book on.
Why travel on a small group adventure?
Small groups allow us to explore where larger tour groups can't. Our maximum group size of 16 travellers allows us to use local transport to get from A to B, to visit rural villages, spend time with the locals and even stay at a local home overnight, and it allows us to give our travellers genuine, real life experiences of the countries we are visiting; what you'll be doing and how you'll travel depends entirely on your chosen itinerary.
Is an adventure right for me?
The word adventure means something different to everyone, and our range of trips reflects that. Whether you want to explore local markets, visit out of the way temples and meet local people or go on an early morning safari drive searching for the 'big five', we'll have a trip for you. If you are looking for a physical challenge such trekking the Kokoda Track or summiting Kilimanjaro, we can help with that too.
So what can I expect on this trip?
This is one of our Basix trips, designed specifically for budget travellers who still want the security of group travel without lots of added inclusions. These trips don't have many included activities and meals are rarely included in the price, giving you the opportunity to search out local restaurants and sample regional specialities to your heart's content. The amount of free time in these itineraries means that the Basix trips often appeal to younger travellers looking to explore independently and tailor the trip to your own interests. You often won't spend too many days in any one place and you'll pack lots of different locations into your holiday.
As you might expect, accommodation on a Basix trip will be fairly basic! We'll stay in 1-2 star accommodation, often including homestays and there may be nights where the group stays somewhere multi-share / in a dormitory-style. Most accommodation however will be twin share; with solo travellers automatically roomed with a fellow group member of the same sex, this means that there are no single supplements on Basix trips.
On camping trips you will be expected to help out around the camp; putting up and taking down your own tent, helping with meals and other camp duties. We often find the nights where we are without a few creature comforts are those that are most amazing; wild bush camping in Serengeti anyone?! We'll use local transport where ever possible which is a great way of seeing the country and meeting locals as we travel.
Can I book my flights with you?
Yes! We are a fully ATOL bonded tour operator meaning that we can book flights from the UK as part of your holiday package. Just ask us for a quote including flights when you make your enquiry.
Responsible tourism
Indochina holiday, Hanoi to Bangkok via Angkor
Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
As a global operator, we take our role in the tourism industry very seriously. We recognise the impact that tourism has on local communities and the environment, and we plan and operate all our tours with this front of our minds. We believe that every tour operator must be responsible in the way they conduct their business, to ensure the welfare of all people and the conservation of the environment.
We are committed to operating in a responsible manner, incorporating the principles of sustainable development in the way we provide our travellers with real life experiences. These values are more than just words on a page; they are ingrained in our culture and the daily operations of every office and every trip. In addition, we expect our staff and travellers to demonstrate the principles of responsible travel - respecting people, cultures and local environments; in the distribution of wealth; in good will and cross-cultural sharing; and in contributing to sustainable development.
We believe that responsible travel is about the attitude you take with you and the choices you make when travelling - to respect and benefit local people, their cultures, economy and the environment. On trips like this through Asia for example, dress standards are conservative, and we recommend loose, lightweight clothing so as not to offend, particularly outside of the major cities.
We take care to use local transport throughout, and stay in small, locally owned hotels and guesthouses. We source produce locally throughout the trip, eat at local restaurants and encourage our travellers to purchase souvenirs from local artisans and recruit our on the ground team from the local community. This not only gives a fantastic insight into the country and a snap shot of day to day life, but it also puts valuable financial resources back into the local economy, creating jobs and supporting local businesses.
The ruins of Angkor are protected under UNESCO World Heritage listing and as such, part of the money received from entrance tickets contributes to the amazing sites conservation. Your local guide will also give you plenty of guidance on what is appropriate when visiting the ruins and you will have the chance to interact with many of the local kids.
Travelers will have the option of visiting the land mine museum in Siem Reap and any donations are gratefully accepted. At the end of our journey, travelers may donate any unwanted clothing, medicines and bandages, which are distributed to appropriate local charities.
As company our responsibilities dont stop when our tours end. Our own in house foundation has been in operation for over 10 years; a not-for-profit fund that has distributed over AU$3 million to more than 70 non-government organisations since 2002, from health care, education, human rights, child welfare, sustainable development and in environmental and wildlife protection. Donations come from our travellers and are then matched by us dollar for dollar.

Biographical Info
Bonnie and I were bitten by the square dance bug while we were in college through the outing clubs at our respective schools. Outing Clubs would periodically gather for a weekend of canoeing or camping and would feature a square dance on Saturday night, so we learned at the rate of three or four one-night-stands per year over a 3-4 year period. I hosted one of these weekends, put on a Saturday night dance featuring me as the caller, and thus my career in calling began with some contra dances and eastern dance routines. After college we married and joined a square dance club in Poughkeepsie, NY. We quickly became fanatics and moved through the advanced and challenge levels of Modern Western Square Dancing, eventually driving to NJ or Long Island several times a week. .
I started calling in earnest in 1975 to make dancing above the mainstream level available in the Mid Hudson Valley of NY. Four years later we quit square dancing altogether to have a better balanced family life. After a move to Minnesota and a few decades later we resumed our former dancing passion, quickly followed by a return to calling. Having discovered that there were no Plus club in the Rochester area, I was delighted to pick up the mic again and share my enthusiasm for dancing with area dancers.
I am currently calling for two clubs in Rochester: Mocha Crunch PLUS which started in January 2013, and Mocha Crunch Squares which graduated its second mainstream class in June 2014. Along with another caller, I have taught and continue to call for a small group of C2 dancers in the Minneapolis area. We are excited by the amount of enthusiastic support we have had for these new clubs.
I attended caller's school with Lee Kopman in 1979 and the North Star Callers School run by Ken Ritucci in June 2013. I am a member of the Minnesota Square Dance Callers Association, and I maintain BMI and ASCAP music licenses through CallerLab.
My choreography includes all position dancing and DBD, but I tailor dances to fit the dancers and workshop troublesome moves. Please call me for mainstream through C2 dances.

This 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is said to be a rust free California example that retains its original blue paint and California blue plates. The FJ40 had a very long production run from 1960 all the way to 1983.
The factory paint looks great both in condition and as a suitable shade for this model. The seller does mention some minor damage from a hood blow back incident.
The engine compartment is aged but should respond well to an afternoon of mild cleaning and detailing (keep the rattle can on the shelf, though). The aftermarket battery bracket and rad cap stick out like a sore thumb. Returning original style versions should be an easy fix.
The interior is very utilitarian, as it should be. The painted floorboards show wear consistent with the mileage. Were factory mats an option? The factory roll bar is clearly present. The FJ40 is an extremely popular model. In this condition adds another level of desirability. It will be interesting to see where the bidding takes this one. Find it here on eBay in Merced, California with active bidding but still below reserve.

Twenty-four boats are entered in the race, with 21 racing in the IRC Racing Division, and five in the Cruising Division. The race start is Thursday 20 March at 12:00 off the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in Victoria Harbour.
The 2008 list of competitors combines returning race veterans with new faces. The Race has attracted several overseas entries including two Australian crews, Jon WARDILL's Australian Maid and Geoff HILL's Strewth; Chris MEADS' Full Metal Jacket from New Zealand, and Fidel/Echauz's Subic Centennial and Martin TANCO's Challenge both from the Philippines.
Defending her 2006 winner's title, the Kinmonth/Burns owned Fortis Mandrake will face stiff competition from the overseas entries whilst continuing the local rivalry with Hong Kong boats such as Sam CHAN's FfreeFire 52, Neil PRYDE's Hi Fi and the Leon CHAN/James LAU owned Tipsy Frenz. All will be chasing the 2000 race record set by Karl KWOK on the Volvo 60 Beau Geste of 47 hours, 43 minutes and 7 seconds.
For one of the overseas entries, Australian Geoff HILL on his TP52, Strewth, it is a race that he enthusiastically looks forward to and one he feels is vastly underestimated in the international circuit. HILL is very familiar with offshore racing around the world, having competed in eight Rolex Sydney Hobart Races, the Rolex Fastnet Race, and the Newport Bermuda Race. Distance races are often held up to each other, but in fact each race has its own unique set of challenges.
HILL said, "I think the Rolex China Sea Race is one of the most underrated offshore races in terms of challenges, distance from shore, and range of conditions. You leave Hong Kong and you head offshore till you hit the Philippines. This isn't a coastal cling for the most part, or a Channel dash, or a Mediterranean meander. This is a genuine offshore event across a tricky, crowded, notorious seaway with the added challenge that SAR services are basic at best. The Royal Ocean Racing Club clearly understands the challenge quality and complexity of the race as it appears in their calendar and is run under their auspices."
HILL continues, "This race is world-class and, if it was held in Europe, would have hundreds of entries. If it was possible to overcome some of the logistics I know Australasian, American and European offshore yachtsman would queue up to join."
As to the challenges the race holds, he says, "Firstly, boat and crew. In Hong Kong, whilst we have many talented sailors we don't have the pool of talent available in Australia, New Zealand, or Europe. Chinese interest is only now emerging but it will be quite awhile. Secondly, preparing the boat. The race itself is a complex tactical race and generally breaks into three bits: a bash for 60-70 miles from Hong Kong, a reach across the China Sea, and finally the tricky bit working out where to pick up your sighting of the Philippines, as usually there is a wind shadow effect and the wind can be everywhere and nowhere."
"This year I have a new boat, a Transpac 52 Strewth [previously called Trader] which only arrived in Hong Kong in September. This will be the new Strewth's first serious outing so whilst we expect to do well, it will be a steep learning curve for all onboard. I have a good experienced crew but it still takes time to learn a boat's idiosyncrasies and optimize performance. We are the new boys in the racing division this year, so we have to expect strong competition amongst the established competitors. Clearly our sister ship Ffreefire will be our benchmark and competition, but I expect Neil PRYDE's new Hi Fi and also Mandrake will keep us on our mettle."
RHKYC member Peter CHURCHOUSE has been in Hong Kong for over 25 years and has competed in most of the China Sea Races since 1982. This year he will be racing onboard his Warwick 64, Moonblue 2, launched in New Zealand in 1999. CHURCHOUSE has an illustrious past race history on a number of different boats from Charisma, a Chance 37, to Mandalay, a Dubois 67. In the mid-80s he was onboard Bugis, Vic LOCKE's Ron Holland 40, when they won their division.
Moonblue 2's crew includes, among others, some China Sea veterans: Vic LOCKE, long-time race chairman of the San Fernando race; Victor MALLET, a journalist for the Financial Times; past RHKYC Commodore Inge STROMPF, who will be navigating; plus two 18-year old experienced dinghy sailors, on their first offshore race.
For CHURCHOUSE, his race strategy is, "Get there quickly! Sailing north of the rhumbline has rarely if ever paid off. Most winners have always sailed a bit south of the line, avoiding getting trapped close into the Philippine coast where the wind can often be light.
"For the fleet overall, the ability to handle light airs is important. Pretty much all boats go well in the normally heavy airs leaving Hong Kong, but when the race gets closer to the Philippines, winds tend to get lighter and light air boats tend to do better. That is typically where the race is won or lost, and can sometimes be a bit of a lottery. Some boats have been known to make up 30 miles or more by being good in light winds."
CHURCHOUSE adds, "This race produces some absolutely sterling sailing, as the boat approaches the Philippine coast - evenings, full moon coming up from the east in front of the boat [always full moon at Easter time], flat sea, spinnaker up in 12 knots of wind. Absolutely magic moments that get relived by every single sailor a dozen times in the bar at Subic."
This will be the 24th edition of the biennial Rolex China Sea Race, organised by the Royal Hong Kong (RHKYC) with Manila Yacht Club and run under the auspices of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. The race starts in Hong Kong and will finish at Subic Bay, northwest of Manila in the Philippines.
This Asian blue-water classic has become part of Rolex's distinguished portfolio of international offshore races under a long-term partnership between Rolex and the RHKYC that commenced in 2007. The Rolex China Sea Race joins other prestigious Rolex-sponsored 2008 events including the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Rolex Swan Cup, Rolex Middle Sea Race, and the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

Posted on June 10, 2018
Yeast is a general name for about 1500 types of tiny, single-celled fungi. Some yeasts can cause disease. Many, however, provide us with nutrition plus the natural tools we need to produce some of our favorite foods. For example:
What Makes Torula Unique?
Edible torula yeast grows on wood alcohols. When deactivated and dried, it looks like a tan powder and can be packaged and sold in health and nutrition stores.
Since it is rich in glutamic acid, torula yeast lends a smoky, savory umami taste-profile to foods. It is an increasingly common flavoring additive in processed specialty foods such as chips, seasoning blends, and crackers.
Due to its meaty taste, it's often used as an additive to pet food, and since it contains high levels of nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B, and amino acids, it is sometimes used as a supplement for puppies.
As veganism and vegetarianism have grown in popularity, food producers began using torula yeast to mimic the flavor of meat (in veggie burgers, for example) without adding any animal products.
Torula yeast has also become a popular replacement for the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG) among manufacturers marketing "all-natural" products.
MSG, in powdered form, was used for decades to enhance the flavor of meats, sauces, and other dishes. It's a chemical additive with no nutritional value, making it a questionable food for many people interested in natural nutrition. Perhaps more significantly, it can also cause mild or severe allergic reactions including headaches and disorientation.
Torula yeast does many of the same things that MSG did for many different foods. It ensures that flavor and aroma are not lost during the cooking process. It also improves the texture and flavor of many foods ranging from sauces to chips to soup.
Like all yeasts, torula also adds a good deal of nutrition to foods. It can also thicken foods such as protein shakes and dips.
Torula yeast is a food-grade product, which means that, for the vast majority of people, it is safe and tasty. It also provides a significant source of nutrition.
There are, however, questions about the value of using yeast, in general, as a nutrient. According to some research, there is a very slight possibility that yeast in food could actually cause problems such as vaginal yeast -- but there is very little evidence to support this claim.

Pumpkin + Milk Chocolate Chips + Pecans = Perfection!
I love making dessert bars for many reasons… Let me count thee ways:
1) They're super easy to make. Just throw the ingredients together, and pop it in a pan.
2) They almost always turn out moist & delicious.
3) anddd they usually taste even better the next day!
These Pumpkin Cake Bars are definitely no exception. They are moist, full of flavour, & are quick and easy to make.
While they are pretty cakey & fluffy fresh out of the oven, by the next day they almost have a nice chewy, blondie texture to them. They're the best of both worlds!
I chose to use milk chocolate chips & pecans, but feel free to use whichever extra goodies you prefer.. from walnuts to any kind of chocolate chips.
This is one of my favorite Pumpkin recipes for Fall. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Perfectly Pumpkin Cake Bars Recipe
2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
1 1/2 – 2 cups milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9″x13″ inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda & salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter & sugars together on medium/high speed until smooth. Beat in egg, & vanilla until combined. Beat in the pumpkin.
4. Reduce speed to low, & mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips & pecans with a wooden spoon of spatula.
5. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in pan.
– Bars stay fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
– Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart.

Bart gets Mrs. Krabappel fired after she confiscates the class's cell phones, but soon starts to feel guilty when a hip, new teacher is hired in her place and Mrs. Krabappel gets a job at a muffin store thanks to a self-help book.
- Bait-and-Switch: Bart tries on the third act to spike Zach's (the new teacher's) coffee in the same way as he spiked Krabappel's, but he cannot bring himself to do so out of guilt for what Krabappel is going through and confesses doing this to Skinner... who will not hire Krabappel back because Zach is doing a very good job. The dilemma is taken out of their hands when it turns out that Zach drinks coffee with vodka, which he does in school right on that moment and turns him into a belligerent drunk that insults all of the kids and tells them that they have no future. Groundskeeper Willie drags Zack away after that with the remark "It's always the good ones that go crazy the fastest".
- Big "NO!": Bart when he learned how many competitors Mrs. Krabappel had during her job running a muffin store.
- Diegetic Switch: "Another Day" by Paul McCartney starts on the episode soundtrack, then continues diegetically on Mrs. Krabappel's car radio.
- Revenge: After getting her teaching job back, Mrs. Krabappel forces the kids who got her fired to eat stale muffins.
- Shout-Out: The self-help book that Bart gets Krabappel, "The Answer", is a parody of The Secret. Allegedly, the book can tell you what is your dream, and it tells Krabappel that her dream is to bake muffins.
- Take That!: For the above-mentioned book: on the final act, Krabappel tells Bart that her real dream was to be a teacher and (after an act of looking like her muffin business was booming) she reveals that she is now heavy in debt and many rivals have opened up since she started, so she tears the book apart. Her final revenge act is portrayed as if she took the idea from the book, as well.

Nat Baimel from California is one half of The Manchild, a duo that does standup comedy in Taipei this week. The other Manchild is Ed Hill, a Taiwanese Canadian whose sweet-and-sour experience as an ethnic minority fuels his stand-up act.
"I will be talking about being a Taiwanese Canadian growing up in a North American culture," Hill told the Taipei Times. "Some [cultural] stereotypes will definitely be discussed in my act in a subtle, personal way."
Born in Taiwan, Hill moved to Canada at age 10 under the notion that he was on vacation. He is among a new generation of Asian stand-up comedians who have turned their experiences as a minority and their identity confusion into routines. Asian-American pop icon Margaret Cho does it bawdily and with trenchant wit. Hill is gentler but just as witty, poking fun at his status as an Taiwanese Canadian and including acerbic observations about how his parents have made peace with living in the western world.
"The show ties in some societal, political and familial views," Hill said. "Everything I talk about eventually hails back to my life story."
Hill, a rising comedian, has performed on BiteTV, Comedy Time as well as various comedy festivals in North America. He and Baimel met in Seattle three years ago, clicked right away and decided to tour together.
At a performance in Singapore last year, Hill noticed the interest in stand-up comedy and decided to embark on an Asia tour that includes Taipei, where Hill and Baimel will take turns onstage during a 90-minute show.
WHAT: The Manchild Tour Asia 2013
WHEN: Tonight and tomorrow at 10pm
WHERE: Comedy Club, 20, Ln 553, Zhongxiao E Rd Sec 4, Taipei City (台北市忠孝東路四段553巷20號)

At the Labour party conference today many of the guests were asked whether or not they thought Labour was right to "stifle debate". Now, I do not and nor do I wish to understand fully the workings of the Labour party conference machine, and whether the changes proposed to or don't stifle debate, but there were some interesting responses to the question.
The theme that kept coming back was that whatever the formal policy of the Labour conference as to what was and what was not officially debated, the conference has always been about discussions at fringe meetings and in the bars. People come to conference, so I was told, because it's the one time of year when all the personalities are present and everyone can contribute.
This led to two thoughts – first about stifling debate. This is similar to what happens if a company bans social networking or instant messaging. It goes underground, people will install and use it anyway, and you won't have any control over how they do it – the corporate equivalent of a fringe meeting or a hushed discussion in a bar. You can't ban it, so you might as well have it out in the open where you can clearly hear and monitor the points being made.
Second – the idea that people go to a conference to meet people, rather than hear speakers. This is something that has been mentioned to me more than once, often by people who argue against on-line collaboration as face to face discussion is more valuable. They misunderstand the point, face to face discussion can be more valuable, but the two should be combined. You can use on-line collaboration to cement a relationship that may have formed at a conference, but continuous dialogue after the event only re-affirms the connection, and make the second face to face meeting one year later all the more valuable and rewarding.

Yesterday I had no pain in my head whatsoever. It's been a long time since that happened. So I have decided that from now on, instead of wondering all the time why I have a headache or a migraine, I will just wait for pain free days and then wonder why I don't have a headache. This will cut down my worrying/wondering time considerably. The part of my brain that does all that thinking about headaches will probably shrink down and leave some extra room for the rest of my brain to stretch out and relax. It sounds good, doesn't it? And it's just as likely to work as all my other headache-busting plans.Explore posts in the same categories: headaches, migraine, wishful thinking

That sounds like a great plan. I wonder and worry all the time so I definately need some shrinkage in my brain from that part!
July 3, 2008 at 12:43 am
You are definitely on the right track. What can be called 'mind chatter' is one of the leading contributors to headaches. The more we try to analyze and figure out what is happening to us, the more stress we create and pain results. I had migraines for over twenty years and now I don't. One of the skills that helped me accomplish this was learning how to 'Quiet the mind'. There is an article with that title at http://www.headache-mgmt.com
July 3, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Yes, mind chatter and migraines are very closely interrelated. I would suggest that practice managing mind chatter when you don't have a headache may be helpful in reducing the chatter when a headache is present.

Practicing Your Interviewing Skills With Strangers
I recently spent an entire trans-Atlantic flight bothering strangers so I could to practice my interviewing skills. I discovered so much beyond just demographics. These were people who based their life decisions on their family, who were desperate for a constant place to call home, and who put aside a normal life plan for new experiences. Now, that's something we can work with when thinking about personas, user journeys, scenarios, and plan product features.

So Muse return to Helsinki, for this first time, I think, since their Olympic Stadium gig in 2013. They promised a spectacular show and have a great repertoire of songs so we were all set.
We arrived early, met for drinks at the bar during the warm up act and made our way to standing area ready for the show. As I previewed earlier this week their stage was huge. In the middle of the arena. A good view was almost guaranteed.
Their stage show was impressive. Lots of visuals and screens and lights. Their sound was brilliant too. This was quite a surprise given how many terrible gigs I've been to in the past at Hartwall in Helsinki. Soundgarden being just one example.
They played 6 songs from their latest album, Drones: the album they are promoting. This perhaps led to me being a bit unfamiliar with some of the songs. I bought the album when it came out but I don't really like it and haven't listened to it much at all.
At their Olympic stadium gig I forgave them for, what I thought was, a really lackluster concert in Kuala Lumpur back in 2007. I thought they we magnificent in 2013, however this time round it brought back all those memories again.
There was something really lacking. As in KL, they almost played mechanically. A very well rehearsed and implemented setlist but there was a spark missing.
So, perhaps this will be the last time I go to see them – unless their next albums are stunning. Shame really. It should have been such a great show. In the end it, for me, was only so so – despite the amazing stage show and their obvious talent as musicians.
Highlight for me musically was probably the drum and bass duet, Munich Jam, along with Starlight which always takes my back to my Malaysia days. Low light was The Globalist.
Were you there? What did you make of it?

New Democrats are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to immediately dismiss a Liberal MP who is pledging to defend himself from allegations of sexual harassment.
The Hill Times reported this month that the chief human resources officer of the House of Commons is investigating rookie Calgary Skyview MP Darshan Kang after a young female staffer in his constituency office accused him of misconduct.
Kang told HuffPost Canada in a statement that he has been under a "tremendous amount of stress" since the allegations were levelled against him and has been placed on a medical leave that has kept him from public events.
"While I cannot comment directly on an open, ongoing investigation, I continue to proclaim my innocence and will defend my reputation at all costs," Kang said.
'Not the leadership of a feminist prime minister'
Sheila Malcolmson, the NDP critic for the status of women, released a statement Tuesday questioning Trudeau's feminism because of the way he is handling the controversy.
Malcolmson noted in the release that while Trudeau previously advocated a zero tolerance approach to such allegations involving members of his caucus, he has "failed to act" on Kang's case.
"That is not the leadership of a feminist prime minister," she said in the release. "Until such time as a full investigation can be completed Mr. Kang should not sit as a member of the governing party.
"That is exactly the approach the prime minister previously espoused and acted upon; I am at a loss as to why he has refused to take similar action in response to these allegations."
In 2014, Trudeau suspended two members of caucus pending an investigation into separate accusations of sexual harassment made by two female NDP MPs. While both men denied misconduct, they left the Liberal party months later just before they were expected to be permanently expelled.
I have no further comment to make at this time on the independent process that is being undergone.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Though Malcolmson's release charged that Trudeau has refused to comment on Kang, the prime minister did briefly address the matter at a press conference in Ottawa Monday.
When asked if he was going to kick Kang out of caucus, the prime minister said Parliament has put in place formal processes to deal with allegations of misconduct or harassment that did not exist before. Trudeau said his chief government whip is working with House human resources on the matter.
"I have no further comment to make at this time on the independent process that is being undergone," Trudeau said.
Trudeau largely echoed those sentiments Tuesday at a presser in the House of Commons foyer with Jordan's King Abdullah II.
"We will allow this process to unfold as it should," he said.
Meanwhile, the father of the staffer accusing Kang of harassment told The Toronto Star that the MP offered to pay her up $100,000 to keep mum about allegations, which include unwelcome touching over the course of several years.
Before making the jump to federal politics in 2015, Kang served as a Liberal member of Alberta's legislature. He was first elected in 2008.
The Star reports that the woman, a family friend of Kang's, joined his office when he sat in the provincial legislature and stayed with him after he became one of just four Liberal MPs elected in Alberta.

NAFE's ETHICS STATEMENT
Forensic economics is the scientific discipline that applies economic theories and methods to matters within a legal framework. Forensic economics covers, but is not limited to:
When providing expert opinion for use as evidence by the trier of fact, a NAFE member pledges, as a condition of membership, adherence to the following:
1. Engagement
Practitioners of forensic economics should decline involvement in any litigation when they are asked to assume invalid representations of fact or alter their methodologies without foundation or compelling analytical reason.
2. Compensation
Practitioners of forensic economics should not accept contingency fee arrangements, or fee amounts associated with the size of a court award or out-of-court settlement.
3. Diligence
Practitioners of forensic economics should employ generally accepted and/or theoretically sound economic methodologies based on reliable economic data. Practitioners of forensic economics should attempt to provide accurate, fair and reasonable expert opinions, recognizing that it is not the responsibility of the practitioner to verify the accuracy or completeness of the case-specific information that has been provided.
4. Disclosure
Practitioners of forensic economics should stand ready to provide sufficient detail to allow replication of all numerical calculations, with reasonable effort, by other competent forensic economics experts, and be prepared to provide sufficient disclosure of sources of information and assumptions underpinning their opinions to make them understandable to others.
5. Consistency
While it is recognized that practitioners of forensic economics may be given a different assignment when engaged on behalf of the plaintiff than when engaged on behalf of the defense, for any given assignment, the basic assumptions, sources, and methods should not change regardless of the party who engages the expert to perform the assignment. There should be no change in methodology for purposes of favoring any party's claim. This requirement of consistency is not meant to preclude methodological changes as new knowledge evolves, nor is it meant to preclude performing requested calculations based upon a hypothetical--as long as its hypothetical nature is clearly disclosed in the expert's report and testimony.

We service residential and commercial pumps of all sizes
Prices for drilling and casing wells are usually quoted by the foot and may vary according to the type of material and difficulty of drilling. The cost of wells in Alaska will usually be in the range of $3,000 to $12,000. Contact us today for a quote!
If your water has become discolored or dirty due to a recent earthquake this is not an unusual occurrence...don't worry! The best way to clear the water is to hook up a garden hose to an outside hose bib and run it steadily, at about half throttle, until the water clears. If you lose water flow inside the house, check any water filters you may have for sediment buildup and/or plugging. If some faucet fixtures experience limited flow, unscrew the screens and clean them thoroughly. If you experience continued loss of pressure, complete loss of water, a well pump that constantly runs, or a well pump that doesn't run, call your local water well contractor for a service visit.
