Edmonton-based builders lead the way at BILD Alberta Awards
No strangers to hardware, Edmonton-area builders won half of the 36 categories at the first annual Building Industry Land Development (BILD) Alberta Awards, presented Friday at BILD Alberta's Fall Conference in Jasper.
Formerly known as the CHBA-Alberta Awards of Excellence in Housing, the BILD Alberta Awards recognize the province's top home builders, renovators and developers in a variety of categories, including Pinnacle Awards for demonstrating excellence and leadership in design, safety, volunteerism and customer satisfaction.
"BILD Alberta Award winners display impressive design, innovation and creativity in each category," said Wendy Jabusch, chair of BILD Alberta. "The winners truly exemplify the best Alberta has to offer in all areas of our industry. Thank you to our sponsors and all the judges for supporting the awards."
BILD–Edmonton region members captured 18 awards — including five of the six multi-family awards — followed by Calgary region members with 12. Lethbridge-based members won three categories, while two winners were based in central Alberta.

PhD advisors
If you go out there and ask all the PhD students how they feel about their advisors, I am very sure you will get a mixed response. Some will praise their mentors while others will utter curses. Fortunately I fall into the former category, in fact, my advisor was the reason why I choose to stay back after my Master's degree, forfeiting the chance to go abroad for my PhD. And I gladly proclaim that I do not repent my decision ( yes, sometimes due to work pressure and mental fatigue makes me feel otherwise).
I met him for the first time when he was invited to teach us one topic in a medicinal chemistry course in my third year of bachelor's class. His teaching, his depth of knowledge and his down to earth personality mesmerised me. Immediately I made my decision to work with him for my masters (wasn't sure I would stay back for PhD then). But, working with him wasn't easy because it needed to crack an entrance test that was tough to crack. However, I had made up my mind and there was no looking back. After my final exams, I had only 5 days to prepare for the entrance exam, it was next to impossible that I could finish reading everything. I just read as much as I could and went to write the paper. I was never under so much tension for any of my exams I had taken in the past. But this time it was different because my goals were very clear and there was no plan B. Either I made it or got screwed up. The paper went quite as expected and my calculations predicted that if all the questions I attempted were to be correct then my rank was going to be very high. That obviously did not happen, however, I scored enough marks to be able to get what I wanted. And that was it, I was more than happy. This episode made me realise that in the absence of a plan B, my mind was completely focused on what I wanted and made every little effort that was necessary to achieve it. Next, came another hurdle, the allotment of the master's thesis advisor, that was to be done on the basis of the rank in the entrance exam I just mentioned above. There was a rumour that he was going to take only one student, which means, that wasn't going to be me, as my rank was second highest. However, I just hoped that he takes two students this time. The day came when we were called in for the selection process, and again I was tensed. YESSS!!! my prayers were heard and my wish granted; I got what I wanted, somehow I feel god was smiling at me all through the process. Soon after we finished our coursework I started with my research work which was my passion and I had joined the group headed by another passionate researcher. I knew it wasn't easy to convince this man about the results I got in the LAB unless I had amply supported the observations with enough evidences. The Master's project was kind of a success as I could identify one good molecule and also my boss was happy that we did it.
Even before I submitted my Master's dissertation he approached me to join him for PhD, since he had a project funded by a German company and more importantly we were assured two visits to Deutschland during my PhD. Within no time I accepted the offer, and here began my PhD journey. I was always aware that this wasn't an easy path but I was also sure that under the guidance of this man it would be a bearable journey with many lessons to learn and memories to cherish for the rest of my life. I have and still learning a lot about this man and from this man. He is always composed and calm by nature and seldom raised his voice even if he had to explain somebody something for the 1000th time. Most importantly he is a humble human being and treats everyone with equal respect, this is what I liked about him the most. You will find great scientists everywhere but it is very difficult to find great human being like him, who treats other human beings as human, which is a very rare these days.
As days passed by, I got more and more chances to interact with him on various topics on science, other than my work. And it was fun to look at him while he spoke on matters concerning science because he seemed to enter a different energy level with all his high energy animated explanations. I have often observed, even if he was exhausted, once you ask him any doubts related to science he suddenly got some magical powers to reach the high energy state and soon forgot about his tiredness. This is the kind of passion I want in me, the science you do should make you forget all the worries and pains in the world. Get engrossed in work and show something worthwhile, discoveries will automatically happen. Many times he narrated about his PhD days, when he worked day in and day out. I could see a glow on his face while he narrated stories about how he tackled some of the problems while he was working, this glow indicated how blissfully he enjoyed working around that problem. He always says, "you must enjoy solving the problems during your PhD like a kid enjoys solving his puzzles." How many of us really enjoy what we do?
During my PhD, all I have learnt is how to keep calm and maintain a sane mind. How much ever angry or disturbed I may be, the moment I start working all the negative feelings should be replaced by the joy of working. I actually tried this, every time I was sad, upset, angry, irritated and even Happy, I focused all my energy towards work and the work made me forget everything else and made me happier.
Try this, do what makes you Happy and you will never be sad again.

BJP protests disrespect to women at CM's rally, to stage statewide stir tomorrow
Bhubaneswar: Taking strong exception to the action of the police which tried to outrage the modesty of women at the chief minister's rally in Sundargarh yesterday, the State BJP today said it would stage protest demonstration before all blocks and civic bodies in Odisha tomorrow as a mark of protest.
Briefing newsmen at a press meet here today, BJP state president Basant Panda said the police showed disregard to women participants in the CM's rally by forcing them to take off their black colour stoles and shawls.
"Disrespecting mothers is a great insult to the people of Odisha. The cops tried to outrage the women's modesty. Earlier, a similar incident had occurred in a meeting in Bargarh, where the Chief Minister was also present. This is a reflection of sick mentality. The incident has killed the values of human rights and disgraced the women's dignity. The heinous attempt to outrage women's modesty by the police was done as per the CM's order," he alleged.
He said the chief minister should apologise for this unsavoury incident and punish those involved.
Pandemonium prevailed in the State Assembly over the issue earlier in the day with the Opposition Congress and the BJP creating ruckus during the Question Hour and sought unconditional apology from chief minster.
Unable to run the House proceedings, Speaker Niranjan Pujari adjourned the House till 3 PM.
Notably, police personnel forced women to remove their black stoles before their entry to a public meeting addressed by the chief minister in Sundargarh district yesterday to ensure that nobody uses black cloths as a mark of protest. It was also alleged that some women wearing black saree were denied entry to the public meeting. The incident had triggered discontentment among the people.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - PG/SG, vs IND ($4,900)
Gilgeous-Alexander is peaking at the end of the season, which tends to be the case for rookies, who don't log heavy minutes. He's averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebonds, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals (28.3 fantasy points) in 27.6 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has also played 36 and 30 minutes in his last two games, scoring 33.5 and 44.25 fantasy points in those games. He gets a difficult matchup on paper against the Indiana Pacers, but they haven't featured the same defensive backcourt since Victor Oladipo was injured. SGA likely isn't safe enough for cash games, but he can be used in tournaments tonight.
D'Angelo Russell - PG/SG, at SAC ($7,400)
Russell's minutes have been relatively inconsistent since the return of Spencer Dinwiddie, but he's still averaging 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.6 steals (38.3 fantasy points) in 29.2 minutes per game over the last 10 days. While he hasn't been overly consistent, he posted 58.25 fantasy points in his last game, flashing the upside that we've been attacking all season. He gets an elite matchup against a fast paced Sacramento Kings team that has struggled against guards this season. Russell posted 55.5 fantasy points in his only matchup against Sacramento this season, and he makes an elite tournament option once again tonight.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Bojan Bogdanovic - SG/SF, at LAC ($5,900)
Bogdanovic has been extremely consistent for the Indiana Pacers recently. He's averaging 19.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists (30.9 fantasy points) in 33.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has seen his role in the offense increase since the injury to Oladipo, but that doesn't seem to be built into his price tag. Bogdanovic has consistently been scoring 30+ fantasy points, while also flashing upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, and Bogdanovic makes an outstanding option in all leagues.
Harry Giles - PF/C, vs BKN ($4,000)
Marvin Bagley is healthy once again, which adds risk to Giles as a player. Even with Bagley healthy, Giles is averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 block (23.1 fantasy points) in 19.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored 25+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, including a 35.5 fantasy point performance against the Chicago Bulls. The Brooklyn Nets have struggled for the majority of the season against big men, and Giles is a cheap option, who can exploit them on a limited game slate.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Boban Marjanovic - C, at CHA ($4,100)
Marjanovic can generally be avoided because of his lack of minutes, but Joel Embiid has been ruled out for rest tonight. On the season, Marjanovic is averaging 1.33 fantasy points per minute through 44 games. He has played 20+ minutes in two of his last six games, scoring 33.5 and 38 fantasy points in those games. Marjanovic gets a great matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, who have struggled against centers this season, and Marjanovic is an elite salary relief option tonight.

"Let food be thy medicine" – the relevance of Hippocrates' words only grow as we enter today's age, where healthy eating has become the new trend in the face of increasing public health problems, and food innovators are being tasked with the challenge to balance nutrition with taste.
Today's consumers recognise the importance of choosing wisely what they feed their bodies day by day, but this awareness can only go so far without the commitment of industry, government and various key stakeholders to bring healthier choices to the table and realise the potential of a concerted approach in leading healthy eating behaviours.
Speaking to ARoFIIN, Kalpana Bhaskaran, Domain Lead at the Applied Nutrition Research and Head of the Glycemic Index Research Unit at the School of Applied Science of Temasek Polytechnic, discusses some key trends driving food innovation in Asia, and how such innovations can be best leveraged to promote better eating habits.
What are some of the trends in food innovation which are addressing Asia's growing public health challenges?
Food is intertwined with our health in ever more palpable and striking ways. Rates of food-related chronic health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes have skyrocketed in recent years. With globalisation, growing awareness of the relationships between food and health is contributing to new practices involving consuming food as a form of health, wellness, and medicine.
The health impacts of food products will be critical to food science and brand management strategies as the health costs and benefits of food choices become more apparent over the next decade. With demanding lifestyles, and increase in aging population, the trend towards replacing sit-down meals with on-the-go healthier food options is particularly acute among Asians.
Trends in food innovation will address the growing challenges of managing diabesity, sarcopenia, malnutrition, memory disorders, cardiovascular diseases and many more. Consumers also have growing expectations for food to have unique flavours with functional properties that vet their appetites for new taste as well as provide functional benefits beyond basic nutrition.
Emphasising on the Whole-of-Government approach to beat diabetes and to encourage healthy eating among Singaporeans, Health Promotion Board (HPB) offers the Healthier Ingredient Development Scheme (HIDS) to develop products or ingredients which can be used at all hawker centres to prepare healthy food that is affordable.
The scheme encourages food manufacturers to innovate and develop a wider variety of healthier ingredients and products suited to local tastes, as well as supports the industry in promoting the uptake of healthier ingredients in Singapore's food service. In addition, Enterprise Singapore (ESG) provides Capability Development Grant (CDG) for the development of innovative products by SMEs. Both ESG and HPB work with industry and various stakeholders including Institute of Higher Learning (IHLs) to develop healthier food products for Singapore and beyond.
Other countries can model this concerted approach, as this is an investment towards the future of the nation. Strengths and capabilities from different stakeholders can be tapped on to spark and hasten the process of innovation among SMEs.
Carbohydrates contribute to more than 50% of the total energy intake in Asians. Among the three macro nutrients, carbohydrates have the maximum impact on blood glucose levels. Hence, choosing the right quality of carbohydrates is very important.
There is a connection between low GI foods and the healthier eating trend. Consumers are unknowingly choosing low GI foods by eating vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes and low-fat dairy products. Food manufacturers should make use of this low GI trend to develop low GI healthier choice food products.
Health professionals and other stakeholders should work towards simplifying the low GI messages in a way that resonates with the target consumer.
"There is often, if not always, a consumer appetite for innovation." (Nielsen Breakthrough Innovation Report, 2014, p.8). Consumers want more new products on the market that are affordable, healthy, convenient and environmentally friendly. The drivers of new product purchasing, include affordability, transparency, convenience, brand recognition and novelty.
Consumer acceptability for any new innovative product can be improved if simplicity in delivering the message is the focal point. This does not mean that the product has to be simple in nature but that consumers have to understand it, whether it is immediately or over time, to guarantee consumer acceptability.

General Electric chairman Jeff Immelt has pulled himself out of the running to be CEO of Uber, which has been without a leader since Travis Kalanick was forced to resign in late June.
I have decided not to pursue a leadership position at Uber. I have immense respect for the company & founders - Travis, Garrett and Ryan. — Jeff Immelt (@JeffImmelt) August 27, 2017
Context: The timing of Immelt's tweet is curious, given that he met in person with members of Uber's board yesterday, in what was viewed as a final interview before an expected vote today. Either Immelt didn't like what he heard from the directors, or he felt he wouldn't get the nod and decided to preemptively save face.

Socarrat Chelsea
Hold the dessert.
Socarrat is the spanish word for that crunchy yummy crust that forms at the bottom of a pan of rice. The word is derived from the verb socarrar which, translated, can mean "to singe" or "to burn." According to Food Republic, "true paella is cooked in a wide, shallow metal pan so that rice is thinly spread and touching the bottom: prime conditions for rice crust formation."
Looks right, right?
It was last minute and my coworkers and I wanted to do restaurant week. I suggested paella – the ultimate warm, comfort food for this freezing New York weather – at Socarrat and my coworkers were pretty excited (it's not hard to see why when their Restaurant Week menu looks like this).
For appetizers we decided on the Ensalada de Kale (left), the Croquetas del Día (at the top), and the Huevos Rotos Con Chistora (below). I was most excited about the croquetas. I had ordered (and enjoyed) the croquetas each and every time I came in the past.
The Ensalada de Kale ended up as disappointing as the description sounded. The description read, "Goat cheese, walnuts, beets, dried cranberries." The beets and the cranberries in addition to the goat cheese made it almost into a vegetable dessert (that is not a compliment). I definitely wished we had ordered the shrimp instead.
The Croquetas (with chorizo) were absolutely delicious. The menu's description is mysterious and alluring, "crispy and creamy chef's selection croquettes." I mean, how can you not order that?
But what was most surprising (and satisfying) was the last appetizer – the Huevos Rotos Con Chistora. The official description reads, "broken eggs, chistorra, fries, green peppers." But I don't think that description does it justice. If this is not on the regular Socarrat menu, they should put it on there ASAP. This would be my regular order, along with the croquetas every time.
For the second course, unless you have an even number, you only get the choice of one paella (you need a minimum of two orders) to share. Carne paella was a no-brainer because there is no way "short ribs, chicken, chorizo, mushroom sofrito and snow peas" can lead to bad dish. We were pleased to find that the dish was extremely flavorful, despite the competing proteins and the pan was hot enough that a generous amount of socarrat formed at the bottom.
We were, unfortunately unable to finish the paella, but believe me, we wanted to (or I wanted to, at least. Maybe I shouldn't speak for my friends).
We had a choice of two desserts, Flan (left) or "Churros Sunday Funday" (right). I was torn between the two for completely different reasons.
The flan was described as a "condensed milk flan, passion fruit cream, pistachio crumbs" and was completely underwhelming. Though they got the consistency right, the flan was tasteless and the caramelization on top did nothing for it. The passion fruit cream clashed with the underwhelming flavor of the flan, making for a jarring and unpleasant experience of fruit and cream. And I have no idea why they thought to add the pistachio crumbs or fruit on top (they were probably attempting to add texture).
The churros, on the other hand, were disappointing for other reasons. One, was my ignorance of how it would be presented. The churros were placed in a mug filled with "coffee cream, hot chocolate, whipped cream, and coco nibs."
My coworker was nice enough to trade her flan for my churros, but we found that both dishes were equally disappointing. The churros were hard instead of doughy on the inside, and were not sweet enough. The coffee cream/hot chocolate mixture was bitter and overpowering and altogether unpleasant.
I don't know if Socarrat prefer to send out dishes that are hardly sweet and either overpoweringly bitter or sour but they should probably reconsider the execution or concepts of these desserts. They were complete and utter disappointments (and this is coming from a person who will always order dessert). So I don't know if the $38 plus tax and tip ended up being worth it.
But, alas, I will be back because the croquetas, huevos, and paella more than made up for it. I just won't go during Restaurant Week. Or order dessert.

Label-free chemistries
Imagine… your label-free chemistry enabling groundbreaking product performance for our customers
Label-free chemistries
Imagine… your label-free chemistry enabling groundbreaking product performance for our customers
How can your novel label-free chemistry safely and simultaneously control interface and fluid properties for our customers?
At Nouryon we deliver essential chemistry to many markets that require control of surface and interface behavior, rheology, and other physical properties. For example, we help make ice cream smooth, household cleaning products effective, and paint splatter less when applied.
Our customers and end-users increasingly ask for multifunctional, "label-free" products. By "label-free", we mean chemistries that do not require a warning label, for example because they are proven to be safe from human health and environmental perspectives. In any case, it means that no labeling is required under both GHS guidelines and REACH and that the compounds cannot have hazard classifications leading to restrictions in use. At Nouryon we already have a number of label-free products in our portfolio, such as our LEVASIL® colloidal silica product, which is used in a variety of applications, and ELFAMOIST® AC (acetamidoethoxyethanol) and HYDROVANCE® (hydroxyethyl urea) products, which are used as skin humectants.
We want to meet and exceed our stakeholders' expectations by developing new label-free technologies in fluid and interface science through partnership. The technologies may be particles, polymers, discrete molecules, mixtures, or even combinations of these if that yields synergistic performance. In any case, they should allow manipulation and control of things like nano- and microstructures, surface tension, and viscosity. Ultimately our aim is to deliver desired customer functionalities such as dirt removal, rheology, improved application behavior of paint or plaster, abrasion resistance, and more.
We know that there are many opportunities in this field. The main challenge is that we want products that combine superb functionalities and performance with "label-free." Another challenge is that we want to bring this to our markets quickly, so any solution should be readily scalable to industrial application and feasible to produce at industrially relevant cost levels.
We are interested in any novel technology or chemistry that can significantly impact and control the performance of consumer and industrial products. We are looking for both completely new solutions or chemical building blocks, but also for combinations of label-free chemistries that provide synergistic performance. We want to work with you to bring your solution to market through joint application testing and business development.
We are open to any label-free solution that meets as many as possible of the following criteria:
If you think you have the solution we need, join our Challenge here.

45. Scars and Legacies
45. Scars and Legacies
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: Family Matters
Words—so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
They try not to. But all parents scar their children in some fashion. Some children are luckier than others in the type or number of scars they bear. But even the lucky ones can be bitter for years.
My scar? A phobia that I am only now, after almost forty-five years, overcoming. And it's still hard to say in public, but here goes: I am Scrabble-phobic. Yes, that's right—I hyperventilate if anyone even says the word "Scrabble."
"B-A-G," I put on the board one evening long ago, proud that I had not only made a word, but used the high-scoring letter "B."
"Moira, that's a terrible move! You've left open a triple word space for anyone who can add an 'S' to 'bag,'" my father said.
I was crushed. I couldn't even see the remaining tiles because my eyes were swimming in tears.
My younger sister got it even worse. "Deirdre, you should never waste a triple letter space on a vowel." The poor thing barely knew what a vowel was! She burst into tears.
My parents played once a week with another couple who were also Scrabble fiends. They all knew the most obscure Scrabble words. They played with amazing strategy. And my parents played the same way when they played with us. Until one day we mutinied.
Holding my sister's hand, we stood just inside the doorway to the dining room where the Scrabble board sat, its smooth wooden tiles and bright red and blue double and triple spaces waiting. "Daddy, we don't want to play anymore."
He roared, "Why not?"
"Scrabble's too hard for us," I managed to squeak out. Deirdre just nodded.
He strode out of the room and down the hall. For such a small man, he could exude great power. And he never again asked us to play.
Recently a writer friend of mine sent me an invitation to play an online game. I clicked on the link. And there, seeming to pulsate in front of my eyes, was a Scrabble board. And there were the tiles, swaying in a taunting dance. And in the middle, a word. You can call it something else, but this was Scrabble. Spiders crawled down my spine. I clicked "exit."
But despite my Scrabble phobia, my dad had also instilled in me a great love of words and grammar. He loved to read his Webster's International Dictionary after dinner. He delighted in teaching me correct grammar and helping me grow my vocabulary. He is the reason I went to law school and am now a children's writer.
So I went back. I looked at my tiles. I saw a good word I could play on her word. I played it. It felt okay. Before I knew it, I had another invitation to play.
But this game was different. This player NEVER opened a triple word, NEVER played a low scoring letter on a triple letter space and rarely played fewer than three words at once. This player was from my father's Scrabble school.
Tentatively, I made a word. She immediately used it and made two more. I lost by a tremendous amount. But I kept playing. With her. With others.
I have five games going right now. And at the moment (although I know it won't last) I am beating her! And more importantly, I'm having fun. Because the legacy of loving words is stronger than my Scrabble scar, which, at this point, has faded almost to invisibility.

Celebrity Love
Blame Cunnilingus? Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones Split
Another Hollywood couple has headed to Splitsville. This time Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have separated. But can they make up like these Hollywood couples?
Another breakup has hit Hollywood. Michael Douglas, 68, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, 43, are separating after 13 years of marriage.
It's shocking, really. Although a Hollywood divorce is as common as the flu, Michael and Catherine seemed to have it together. He's been mum about her bipolar disorder and supported her as she went into treatment. She stood by his side when battling throat cancer and even when he claimed HPV may have been the cause.
[ALSO READ: Are You an Only Child? You May Be Headed for Divorce]
So, who is to blame? Was it Michael Douglas' love for cunnilingus yet again?
Zeta-Jones' publicist, Cece Yorke and Douglas' publicist, Allen Burry, gave this statement to USA TODAY.
"Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage. There will be no further comment."
We all need to evaluate relationships, even the rich and famous. Hopefully they can mend whatever is broken and can come back together like these top Hollywood couples did.
Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult
In September's Vogue issue, Jennifer Lawrence discusses how she accepted her then break up with Nicholas Hoult. "I wake up earlier in the morning when I have new sponges. That counter doesn't even see it coming. [Hoult] would never wring them out. We were in the kitchen once, and I picked up the sponge, and it was soapy and wet, and I was like, "See? These are the kinds of things that make me think we were never going to work." Well, they made it work after all. The couple was recently seen together and are indeed on-again.

Egg freezing & vitrification
Egg freezing is a method of fertility preservation, which allows women to freeze eggs for later use. This can be for medical or social reasons. Women undergoing egg freezing generally take medication for a number of days to increase the growth of the eggs before they are collected in a short theatre procedure.
Egg freezing at Juhi
Egg vitrification is a newly developed technique which allows eggs to be rapidly frozen, preserving their structural integrity. Our egg survival rate following vitrification is very high, around 70%, which helps to increase the success of having a baby in the future.

Foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Syria have started trilateral talks on a political solution to the Syria crisis besides a serious fight against the Takfiri terror groups operating in the Arab country.
On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Russian and Syrian counterparts, Sergei Lavrov and Walid Muallem, gathered in Moscow for a three-way meeting.
Ahead of the meeting, Lavrov said the three nations are acting as a united front against terrorism, saying their talks are mainly focused on ways of seriously tackling terrorism, particularly in Syria.
The three sides, Lavrov added, will exchange views on humanitarian operations as well as efforts to stop the flow of weapons and military equipment to the foreign-backed militants operating against the Damascus government.
Prior to the three-way discussions, Zarif held a bilateral meeting with Lavrov to discuss regional issues and the further enhancement of bilateral Tehran-Moscow ties.
Upon his arrival at Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow on Friday morning, Zarif said a political solution besides a serious fight against terrorism is the only way out of the crisis gripping Syria.
"Unfortunately, some countries have always pursued war and a military solution in Syria. This is while the solution to this crisis is of a political nature and also [entails] battles against Takfiri groups," said Zarif.
He added, "We have always emphasized the need for the establishment of an all-out ceasefire, humanitarian operations and efforts to find a political solution to the Syrian issue."
Following the trilateral talks, the three ministers attended a joint press conference.
During the presser, Muallem slammed the US-led coalition purportedly fighting Daesh, saying the alliance has never been fighting terrorism despite its claims.
He said the Washington-led campaign was in fact encouraging Daesh terrorists to move from Iraq's Mosul to Syria's Raqqah.
Mosul and Raqqah have served as the main Daesh bases in the Middle East over the past years. Iraqi and Syrian armed forces are engaged in large-scale military offensive to drive the terror group from the two cities.
The Syrian foreign minister further said his country would continue cooperation with Iran and Russia in efforts to eradicate terrorism.
Muallem described the atmosphere of the talks in Russia as "positive" and "very comfortable."
"We in Syria have become convinced of the sincerity of the Russian and Iranian efforts in helping us rout terrorism," he added.
Zarif, in turn, described the talks in Moscow as "very productive," saying Iran and Russia have developed "very close" relations in different areas.
Commenting on the situation in Syria, the top Iranian diplomat said Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be protected, adding that it is up to the Syrian nation to determine its own destiny and that the voice of the Syrians must be recognized.
He further highlighted the need for a political settlement of the crisis, adding that Tehran backs the resumption of peace talks between the Syrian government and opposition.
The Iranian minister called for a ceasefire in Syria, joint battles against terror groups as well as efforts to facilitate aid delivery to Syrian civilians in besieged areas.
He said the global community must unite in the battle against terrorism, which poses a threat not only to Syria, but the entire world.
Zarif added that supporting terrorism would serve the interest of no one, warning that the terror groups would eventually "bite the hands that feed them."
For his part, the Russian foreign minister also touched on the Mosul battle in Iraq, saying that Iraqi city's liberation from Daesh would have a significant impact on the balance of power in neighboring Syria.
Lavrov said the political settlement in Syria should be achieved through dialogue according to the Security Council resolutions, welcoming Syria's readiness to resume the stalled talks with the opposition.
Referring to the situation in Aleppo, Lavrov said terrorists blocked the exit routes opened as part of a Syrian humanitarian pause and prevented the civilians from leaving the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo City.
The senior Russian official also criticized the international organizations for failing to fulfill their duties towards the locals of eastern Aleppo.
Lavrov emphasized that the fight against terrorism in Syria will continue, adding that "future common steps" in this regard during the Moscow talks.

He grew up during the Depression and World War II, attending Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church and Washington Elementary School on State Street before further education began opening him to the rest of the world. In 1949, Corona went off to UC Berkeley, where he played varsity baseball and met his wife Yolanda, who was raised in Northern California.
The Coronas' forebears came from opposite ends of Italy too, Peter's from Sicily and Yolanda's from Lombardy. I am speaking with them in a rear apartment on the old Corona family property on Kettner Boulevard, where Peter and his three brothers grew up in panoramic view of San Diego Harbor. Today, the apartment is the couple's Little Italy retreat from their primary residence in Walnut Creek, California.
"When he first brought me down here, all I heard was people speaking Sicilian," says Yolanda, who spoke a dialect of standard Italian. (Most language scholars think Sicilian is distinct enough from Italian to constitute a separate language.) "I would say to myself, 'What country are we living in, anyway?'"
Peter Corona has written of his old neighborhood in a 398-page book called Little Italy: The Way It Was. Photos from the 1930s and 1940s fill the last 72 pages. The book came out in January 2010. San Diego's Italian neighborhood was "different from the other Little Italys in the United States," he writes. The Italians here "lived in a more confined geographical area, stayed mostly within that area, and rarely associated with people who were non-Italian." And Italians moving to San Diego from other U.S. cities did not always appreciate it.
Take Rosalie Asaro, who came here from St. Louis. She is noted for complaining that "San Diego's Little Italy was like living in a cocoon." Asaro quickly discovered, writes Corona, that "she would be criticized for joining the Girl Scouts and attending the YWCA. [The question] 'What will people say?' became part of her relatives' and family's comments as it had been for the children born and raised in San Diego's Little Italy." Boys in the neighborhood were expected to follow their fathers' careers, especially in the tuna industry. And "you were told what to say, when to say, and how to say it."
Corona ascribes the closed nature of Little Italy society to economic realities. "In other cities, such as those on the East Coast," he tells me, as we start on a walking tour of his old stomping grounds, "Italians most often worked in factories with other ethnic immigrants, such as Germans, Poles, and Irish. Here, especially before World War II, people had to make their living as entrepreneurs in small private businesses. Residents tried all kinds of ways to make money independently. Even us kids. We used to go around picking up old hubcaps and other pieces of metal to sell to the local junk man."
But change was bound to come, although slowly. In his book, Corona describes the "most memorable sermon I heard at Our Lady of the Rosary." It was given by Father Joseph Trivisonno in 1950. Charles Buddy, the famously autocratic bishop of the San Diego diocese, had practically forced Trivisonno on the parishioners, who preferred keeping an interim priest from Italy. In the sermon, Trivisonno told the congregation, "We have nice young Italian men in the neighborhood.… These boys do nothing on Saturday nights but just hang around the corner talking with their male friends.… You have lovely daughters at home; they need to get out. The boys are not allowed to date girls in the neighborhood. It's time that you let your daughters go out with these boys." After these words, according to Corona, "You could hear a pin drop in the church."
Corona writes that he almost titled his book "Chi Saccio." "Translated into English from the Sicilian, it means What do I know? or I know nothing. This was a common response when someone was asked a question and did not want to get involved or did not want to be quoted." Several other words and phrases from Sicilian and Italian are mentioned as examples of the same tendency to push away people who are becoming too nosy. Corona tells me that since pursuing his education he has always tried to encourage his fellow Italians to "put that habit aside." But stereotypes by their new countrymen did not always make it easy, especially those linking Italians with organized crime. Even a portrait by one of their own made residents of Little Italy uncomfortable. Lorenzo Madalena's Confetti for Gino, for instance, a 1959 novel largely about the Italians in San Diego's tuna fleet, was looked upon with suspicion, according to Corona. "I easily identified the people he incorporated in his story. The book received excellent reviews nationally and mixed reviews within the neighborhood.… Some citizens in the neighborhood did not accept exposing themselves and the San Diego Italian neighborhood to the outside world.… The youth of the community was more accepting because they saw in Lawrence a successful person who did something different and received recognition outside of the community for his accomplishment."
The achievements of Little Italy's residents, the good they have done in the world, are what Corona highlights. He ticks off the many professions they have entered in addition to tuna fishing and tells colorful stories of their home lives. Many young men from the neighborhood, including one of Corona's brothers, died fighting in World War II. "I used the positive approach in my writing," he tells me.
In the middle section of his book, the longest, he goes block by block in Little Italy, starting from his grandmother's house, and tells who stayed there, what kind of living they made, and who their relatives were. Along the way he adds poignant details, such as the two men who were not yet American citizens and had to move from "the wrong side" of Kettner Boulevard. During World War II, noncitizens were not allowed closer to the harbor than the middle of Kettner, which constituted a "line of demarcation." So Giovanni Canepa, who lived a block west of Kettner, moved his house and family to the boulevard's east side, though he could not continue in commercial fishing until after the war. The other man, Sabastiano Di Maggio, was not so fortunate. He not only lived west of Kettner but worked in the macaroni factory on the west side of the street. So Di Maggio's boss found him another job in a Los Angeles macaroni plant.
I ask Corona why he used the block-by-block approach. For outsiders it can get tedious. "Walking the neighborhood, as we are doing now," he tells me, "stimulated my memory. Probably 90 percent of the book is based on my memories of interacting with just about all the families who lived there while I was growing up. I did some extra research, like talking to former residents. But most of them are dead. For dates and things like that, I checked the cemeteries."
Corona's grandmother lived on California Street, which shows on today's maps as only a small finger in the Midtown area. But in the old days, the street was a dirt road that was owned by the railroad and ran right next to the tracks heading downtown. The trolley now traverses the same route, and there is a narrow, paved alley in place of California Street. From the spot Corona shows me where his grandmother lived, one could almost have reached out and shaken hands with train conductors passing by.
We walk uphill from there, and Corona's "positive approach" to Little Italy's history hits rough waters as we arrive at Columbia and Hawthorn Streets. For, from that corner, he points out the apartment building where mobster Frank "the Bomp" Bompensiero lived his early life on Columbia. Without naming the culprit, Corona says that in 1934 his father, who owned a tuna boat, once captured a thug coming aboard clandestinely in the middle of the night. He was "a Sicilian from the same town [Porticello] as my parents in Italy," writes Corona. "When my father pressed charges, the young man's mother came to our house to plead for her son's freedom. My parents respected the older lady, who was well liked in Little Italy. She had a lovely family, and all of her children, except one, became respectable citizens. My father did not press charges, with the understanding that the son stay off his boat and create no harm to any of the other fishermen and their families. My father insisted that there be no gang activities or pressure placed on the fishermen.…
"The agreement prevailed over decades. That person had previously been involved in a robbery of a theater in San Diego. He later became a member of organized crime but stayed out of Little Italy and the fishing industry. In his later years [1977], he was shot by the mob.…" As we continue walking, Corona tells me that the incident on his father's boat was the only crime he'd ever heard of growing up in Little Italy. "And the young man got the message," he says. "He knew the Italians would kill him if he kept coming back and trying to extort them for protection."
The coy approach to Bompensiero, whose life as a Mafia hit man has been detailed in the book A Bad, Bad Boy by Judith Moore, does not sit well with everyone. Retired Air Force Colonel Joseph Bonpensiero, the Bomp's nephew (the different spelling of their last names was due to an error on the hoodlum's 1905 birth certificate from a Milwaukee hospital) has posted a comment about Corona's book on Amazon.com. After praising the book's discussion of "the neighborhood, the customs, the people" and noting that "I was born and grew up there as well," Bonpensiero charges Corona with taking "the easy way out…[in] not wanting to cast aspersions.… Peter Corona was considerate to give the criminal a pass. However, a leopard can't change his spots. Frank Bompensiero was a hardened criminal and, yes, became a member of organized crime. Unfortunately, he killed…people and didn't spend enough time in prison.… The hood was, unfortunately, my uncle.… Frank Bompensiero, 1905–1977, was a loser, no matter what Judith Moore or his daughter Mary Ann say in A Bad, Bad Boy.… Peter Corona goes on to say that 'during our youth, we did not hear of the word Mafia in Little Italy.' I definitely concur with him and can say emphatically [that] in the Bonpensiero family, for obvious reasons, 'Mafia' was the worst of any four letter words, even the F or N word. I don't wonder why. And every time he was in jail, the word was, 'Uncle Frank is in college.'"
I reached Bonpensiero, who is 72, by phone at his home in Montgomery, Texas, and asked him about his disagreements with Corona's book and Moore's portraits of the Bomp. "You can go any number of ways in a history of Little Italy," he told me. "Corona did a good job for what his objective was, but it's not the whole story, which includes both the good and the bad." To expand the perspective, Bonpensiero has already written Chocolate Moon, a book he calls a "coming-of-age nonfiction novel" that he expects to be published soon.
Bonpensiero is now writing a second novel about his uncle with the tentative title of The Nephew. Recently, he sent me two chapters in draft form. In one, the Bomp is drunk on Scotch at the Del Mar Racetrack and is angry at losing his bets. In this state, he spews out a string of racist vulgarities at singer Lena Horne, who is sitting in front of him. "I was there that day," said Bonpensiero, "and Lena Horne was celebrating the bets she had won. She looked stunning in the sunshine. But Frank went after her. And that was totally in character for Frank."
But Judith Moore's book makes the Bomp out as respectful of women, almost idealizing them, especially the ones in his life. Her descriptions of Frank's relationship with his first wife Thelma Sanfilippo come off as highly romanticized. She depicts him as invariably well dressed and charming. She also says that Frank rarely drank, except for an occasional beer, which was not true, according to Bonpensiero. The problem, he told me, is that for the portrait of the Bomp, Moore relied too heavily on the criminal's daughter. "Mary Ann, who was my cousin, had no idea what was going on outside of her home. She led a secluded and protected life. And she was a spoiled brat."
After moving away from his family home, the Bomp never again lived in Little Italy. But Moore paints him as returning to the neighborhood time and again to visit his mother, giving her an allowance for groceries and handing out hams, salamis, and produce to her neighbors, as though he were a Sicilian Robin Hood. The people loved him for it. That's an exaggeration, Bonpensiero told me. "Peter Corona is right that once he realized he couldn't extort Italian businesses, Frank virtually disappeared from the neighborhood."
I asked Bonpensiero if he knew much about the Bomp's criminal life that does not turn up in Moore's book. "Oh, yeah," he said. "He was my father's brother and was over at our house all the time. When he first got out of prison in the 1960s, I walked him around. So I learned a heck of a lot about what he was doing and also how many cops in San Diego were on the take. My dad must have paid out close to a hundred grand over the years getting Frank out of jail."
It's difficult to assess Bonpensiero's claims because he's withholding most of the details to fill out his book. During my time with him on the phone, he spoke only in generalities. "Frank was the laziest man I ever saw," he said. "He hated hard work, especially working on the tuna fishing boats that his father and brother owned. He was never successful at any legitimate business he tried. He never had any money. Moore called the Gold Rail his bar, but other people really owned it, and his bosses in Los Angeles just set him up in there so that he'd have a base of operation in San Diego."
Is Bonpensiero preparing simply to capitalize further on his uncle's infamy? Or will his effort serve to help demystify legendary mafiosos? "Italian Americans are tired of their being stereotyped by stories glorifying criminals," says Nick D'Angelo, a local accountant who grew up in Little Italy and is a friend of Joe Bonpensiero. "Many people are sensitive and resent the television show Sopranos and movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas. They feel that our heritage is being misrepresented."

It is so amusing to remember that in 1977 when Frank was "wacked" while out walking his dog in PB, the two Copley papers reported it as if he were just some elderly, retired meatpacker or plumber. It took about a week before someone woke up and reported his murder as involving an organized crime figure. Then years passed before the real story of SD's mini-Mafioso was ever mentioned. It was mystifying why an old ex-con like him was still seen as a threat to other crime thugs.

Vincent van Gogh
Appreciation of art looks not just at the painting itself. Art reflects a painter's mind and what he or she thinks, and it adds new meaning to the inward nature of an object. There is a role of art to connect with human beings. Art tries to understand what its value is and what aesthetic character and point of view are. Viewers should think about works of art's social and symbolic meanings. Because even if some art seems badly made, these are part of human history and culture. For the first time in my life, the painting that made me shocked was Vincent van Gogh....Did he really want to kill himself because of depression?

Former Daily Mail, People and Express sub-editor Ian Levack has died, aged 73. The son of a Port of London docker, he grew up in Alperton, West London and realised journalism was in his blood early on.
It was a passion for words and 'twinkle in the eye'headlines that would see him spend half a century on the national press.
Ian's love affair with words began when he ran a newspaper stall at Hanger Lane station, selling the old Evening News, while looking for a break submitting short stories to Titbits magazine. Eventually he landed a job at Women's Mirror where he worked alongside close friend Brian Checkley and soon became known for his natural headline writing talent.
Never afraid to speak his mind, he got away with it because of a natural charm and ability to make and take banter with quick, sometimes Goon-like humour. His career took him to the London Standards, the launch of the Daily Sketch and from there to The Sun, before joining the Daily Mail, where he spent his longest time under the editor he called the greatest, David English.
He then moved on to the People, The Sun again, Star and Sunday Express as a permanent casual working alongside and counting among his friends legends including Ray Mills, John Smith and the 'best writer I ever met'Ian Wooldridge.
His son Jim, news editor at the Birmingham Mail, said: 'He always talked about the Street and its many characters with misty-eyed reverence. I always knew he was popular, but only on hearing the memories of his closest friends can I appreciate how much a part of the fabric of what made the place so special, he was."
Ian, who died of a heart attack while playing tennis, had a reputation as a mimic and brought newsrooms to life with his professionalism and wit. But those closest to him knew him as a hugely principled big softie with a generous human touch.
Former colleague Viv Watts said: 'Ian gave me my first job at the Mail. I walked in and it was like a bear pit, but he really looked after me and made sure I got on. I'll never forget that kindness."
Ian was also a man of great loyalty, standing by his wife through a lengthy illness, never failing to keep in touch with old pals – even supporting Brentford FC avidly until his death.
His charming cheek and his enthusiasm for newspapers and catchy headlines was infectious.
Jim said: 'From the first time I saw him skip down the sweeping marble steps of the Sunday Express, shirt sleeves rolled up to show me the magical kingdom upstairs, I knew what I wanted to do. He was an inspiration to me as a journalist, he was a devoted family man, but most importantly he was my best mate."
He leaves son, Jim, daughter-in-law Catherine and three grandchildren, Nick (14), Alex (12) and Jess (seven), whom he doted on to the end.
His funeral was at Mortlake Crematorium in South West London on 14 December. Donations can be sent for the British Heart Foundation c/o Patrick Ryan and Daughter Undertakers, 6 South Ealing Road, Ealing, London W5 4QA.
