Vermont Hydroponics Seeks to Grow Tasty Local Tomatoes in Less Space
Written onOctober 25 , 2012
Islands have always had a local food problem. Granted, they're often located in warm environments, have rich soil, and enjoy the kind of tourists who might want to sample an obscure local vegetable. But for many sun worshippers, lush green hills and mangroves make for a stark contrast to the dull and unappetizing non-local food on their plates.
A similar problem is faced by many shoppers in our northern climate, where local, seasonal produce—and the flavor and nutritional value it contains—is lacking on most supermarket shelves beyond a few productive months. Grocery store patrons more often encounter flavorless (and some say nutrient-deficient) Florida- and Mexico-grown tomatoes, plucked when green and then trucked thousands of miles.
"Why can't (or won't) modern agribusiness deliver a decent tasting tomato?" asks Vermont food writer Barry Estabrook in his book, Tomatoland. "And why can't it grow one with a similar nutritional profile to the tomatoes available to any housewife during the Kennedy administration?"
East Middlebury resident Jeff Jones, managing partner of Vermont Hydroponic Produce, the largest hydroponic tomato grower in the state, has spent a lot of time in the Caribbean—as well as most of his career—helping solve the island food problem for large grocery store chains. Now he is applying his island experience to Vermont, and has a strategy to answer Estabrook's question.
Vermont Hydroponic Produce operates two greenhouses—one in Florence, near Rutland, and a larger one in Quebec. The company's Vermont production, which totals roughly six pallets of tomatoes a week, supplemented by 1.5 weekly pallets (170 cases) of fresh basil, is currently limited to those two products—beefsteak tomatoes and sweet basil.
That's all grown in just under eight acres—not exactly industrial size. By comparison, Jones's tomato-growing competitor Backyard Farms, a hydroponic operation in Maine, manages 42 acres of greenhouses, and another competitor, Eurofresh Farms, operates out of two greenhouse facilities spanning 318 acres in Arizona.
So how does Vermont Hydroponic Produce create all that produce but still fit within the small-scale, decentralized local food system we enjoy in the Green Mountain State?
Hydroponics uses mineral-nutrient solutions and water to grow plants without soil. Vermont Hydroponic tomatoes in particular are grown in a salt solution mixed with well water. They sprout upward from a bed of coco coir, which is essentially ground up coconut shells and husks. Scores of plants are grown in a controlled environment (a large, white, hot, and humid greenhouse) in dense concentration, arranged in long rows.
There are clear advantages and disadvantages to this type of soilless growing. "One of the advantages of hydroponics is that you don't get weeds and pests in that environment," says Lynda Prim, the vegetable and fruit technical assistance advisor at Northeast Organic Farmers' Association of Vermont. Also on the positive side, hydroponics produces faster growth in plants, and they use approximately one-tenth less water.
However, Prim says diseases "could be more of a problem because of the proximity of the plants to each other in a closed, controlled environment." Managing nutrients is also challenging, and Prim says there is general agreement that hydroponics results in less flavor and smell.
"A hydroponic tomato is what you feed it, and fertilizer is expensive, so the temptation is to not go that extra mile and give it all the nutrients it would need to develop a complex taste profile," says Estabrook.
Nutrients and management equipment for hydroponic production can also be very expensive and complicated, and the disposal of hydroponic nutrients and matter does not meet the federal organic standards. In fact, the National Organic Standards Board has concluded that hydroponic growing not be recommended for organic certification "due to their exclusion of the soil-plant ecology intrinsic to organic farming systems and USDA/NOP regulations governing them."
The tomatoes grown at VT Hydro's facilities are therefore not certified organic, but they are pesticide free, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which essentially gets bugs to eat other bugs, is used.
This all begs the question: how does a Vermont Hydroponic beefsteak tomato compare with a local, soil-grown heirloom variety in August? Well, there's really no comparison, and some people will always prefer buying and eating tomatoes grown in soil. However, it's easy to imagine feeling quite pleased about getting a tomato of similar quality on a cold Vermont January day, knowing it's pesticide-free and grown within a couple hundred miles.
Still, Jones's willingness to work with big grocery chains is bound to ruffle the feathers of some local food purists. He says Vermont Hydroponic Produce has already been criticized for having one of its two growing facilities in Canada, about 400 miles away in Quebec.
But Jones says it's all part of the plan. His goal is not to sell to a couple of co-ops or at local farmers' markets. Instead, he aims to create a regional food network that can serve what he says is the 80 to 90 percent of people who aren't shopping at such places—and to serve them good, fresh food grown within their region.
"We're working hard to get our products into places where the average customer shops," says Jones, who has developed an innovative distribution partnership with Schenectady, NY-based Price Chopper. (Shaw's also buys from VT Hydro). "And we're working with these companies to lessen the costs of transportation and therefore bring the cost of the actual produce down to the consumer."
Operating a small-scale hydroponic operation does have several drawbacks, though. "There are two downsides," says Estabrook. "One is that these tomatoes can be costly." (Jones agrees that his tomatoes cost a premium over most in the store.) "And two, you can get some very bland-tasting hydroponic tomatoes. Vermont Hydroponic is the exception here. Their tomatoes deliver some decent taste."
But in addition to taste, Jones wants to develop a stronger regional food system accessible to more people and to create local jobs. (Vermont Hydroponic currently employs 10 people in Vermont.) "The big boys all play at 30,000 feet," Jones says. "Local is at kite-flying height, like 100 feet, and many who sell locally don't want to work with the big guys. But if we don't get that middle ground, how are we going to create jobs?"
In his career before joining the company—which was founded by Barry Roche in 1994 and bought by Jones's current business partner, Eric Frechette, in 2005—Jones was a grocery store executive who worked for a who's who of large chains (Stop 'n Shop and Roche Brothers are among his previous employers). Each time, he helped them solve the problem of keeping fresh produce on the shelves year-round in an island environment.
Jones set A&P company sales records on Martha's Vineyard by transforming the company's logistics plan to help keep fresh produce stocked during the busy summer season. He followed his time there with stints in Bermuda and in the Turks and Caicos islands, where the local stores would ship in fresh produce from the mainland. Jones helped organize scores of local growers and producers in the Turks and Caicos and eventually began the first organized local sourcing program.
As he did in the islands, where he helped start a government-sponsored farmers' cooperative, Jones has launched a system in Vermont to aggregate supply from smaller than industrial-size Vermont growers. It's called Grower's Hub and serves as an online platform where mid-size growers can list the products they have for sale each week.
Vermont farmers log onto the site and input the amounts and types of produce they have available for sale to a supermarket. Produce buyers for supermarkets log on and browse what's available from the 5 to 10 suppliers offering product at any given time. If there's a match, the grower drops off his or her wares at a designated hub. The produce is kept there until supermarket trucks pick it up and distribute it to regional stores.
"Large chain buyers are used to looking at two or three computer screens and punching in numbers, not calling small growers to see what they have available," Jones says. "This frees up the farmer to do their own thing." Last year, Grower's Hub facilitated $750,000 in sales, with buyers paying a fee to Grower's Hub for the service.
Even though VT Hydro works in a heated greenhouse environment, it's still been cost-prohibitive to grow all 12 months of the year. Instead, they've kept it to 10. Their final harvest occurs the second week of December, and local salsa maker Gringo Jack's comes and gleans the green tomatoes.
Then, Jones and his growers plant again at the end of January, transplant seedlings in February, and harvest at the end of March. Vermont Hydroponic's beefsteak tomatoes grow in batches, as opposed to fruiting all the time.
"We're not saying don't eat tomatoes from January to March," Jones notes, "but we're saying we haven't been able afford to grow tomatoes in the northern climate 12 months."
Still, experimentation continues. VT Hydro is in a new partnership with Burlington-based Carbon Harvest Energy to take hydroponic produce to another level. Carbon Harvest specializes in aquaponics, which raises organic tilapia fish in a controlled aquaculture environment. A Carbon Harvest facility in Brattleboro is slated to open imminently and VT Hydro will be experimenting with growing produce there using gray water from the aquaponic operation (although not tomatoes, which don't do well in the nitrogen-rich water).
If it's successful, the project will be fully replicable. "We want to build a 10-acre facility in Manchester, NH, and an even larger one in Monticello, NY," Jones says. "This is the golden door. It's a closed loop, completely sustainable and a renewable food-production model."
It also has the potential to create hundreds of new jobs in the region. "I think it's absolutely great that people are creating serious businesses and serious jobs where there were none by growing good stuff locally," says Estabrook.
By bringing state-of-the-art hydroponic growing together with renewable energy, closed-loop systems, and a web-based selling platform, Jones and Vermont Hydroponic are making the pleasure of eating fresh, healthy produce all year a reality—and making some "island waves" in the local food system.

A nose job is one of the most impactful cosmetic procedures. Taking around 2 hours to complete it can bring life-changing confidence to patients.
The procedure itself can involve refining the overall profile of the nose, the bridge or the tip. Many of our patients choose the procedure as they are self-conscious about the nose they have inherited or injured. They may view it as being out of proportion or having unsightly bumps.
MYA Clinic in Chelmsford
Our MYA Clinic in Chelmsford is one of our most newly refurbished clinics. You'll find an extremely comfortable and modern environment, as well as our glamorous team. We are extremely lucky to have highly qualified surgeons performing nose jobs in our Essex clinic.
Understanding Rhinoplasty
Depending on what is required, there are two common types of rhinoplasty. Both are carried out under general anaesthetic and take around 2 hours to complete.
Closed Rhino – this involves reshaping the nose without disturbing any of the nose skin. The surgical incisions are made inside the nose.
Open Rhino – this form of surgery uses an incision in between your two nostrils on the columella – the small column of skin that separates the two nostrils
Whichever procedure suits your requirements, you will wake with packing in your nostrils and a splint across your nose. The packing will be removed before you are discharged but the splint will need to stay until around day 10 after your surgery, when it is removed by the clinic nurse (dependant on the advice of the surgeon). We advise that you take 7-10 days off work after your procedure. In some cases it can take up to 1 year for the swelling to fully subside so be patient with your results; you can see before and after photos here.

Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn, reverberated to the skirl of pipes as over 250 Reservist from the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment, assembled for their annual Shamrock Presentation parade for St. Patrick's Day.
The Soldiers were accompanied on parade by a large Guard of old Comrades representing most of the antecedent Irish Regiments and a more youthful cohort of Royal Irish and Irish Guards Army Cadets, with music provided by the Regimental Band and the Battalion's Bugles, Pipes and Drums.
Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of County Antrim, Mrs Joan Christie OBE, inspected the parade and assisted with the presentation of the shamrocks to soldiers and their families.
Brigadier Joe O'Sullivan presented various pendants awards to a number of soldiers who have excelled during the year. Warrant Officer 2 Timmy Clarke from Belfast received both an Eagle Award in recognition of his support to Regimental Football as well as his 22 year service pendant while Captain 'Rocky' Mallon received his Regimental Colours for his support to Infantry Skiing. A number other soldiers also received their Volunteer Reserve Service Medal from the Lord Lieutenant Mrs Christie.
"The presentation of the shamrock embodies the spirit and gallantry of the Irish soldier," said Mrs Christie. "Of course since the South African War at the turn of the 20th century, the loyal service and courage of the Irish soldier has been called on numerous times – from the Great War to World War 2, to Korea, to the Balkans and to Northern Ireland, as well as a myriad of smaller conflicts in between."
"The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions The Royal Irish Regiment have being adding to a proud tradition, especially during the last decade of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Where to eat at Disney Springs - Walt Disney World - reviews of Morimoto Asia, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin', STK Orlando and Frontera Cocina. Pictures of the inside of the restaurants and what we ate. We loved Morimoto Asia, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and STK Orlando. Frontera Cocina was overpriced and our food was cold. #waltdisneyworld #disneysprings #disneyworld
Last year, we bought an annual pass to Disney World. We have been taking lots of trips to Disney to make sure we got our money's worth!! Since we have been going more often than usual, we've had time to try new restaurants and experiences. Today I am going to share with you four new places that we tried in Disney Springs. If you haven't checked out the newly updated Disney Springs (formerly Downton Disney) area, you are really missing out. The restaurants and shopping are GREAT!! There are still a lot of places on our list to try, but we got a good start with these four places. We LOVED three of the places and one just missed the mark.
Morimoto Asia
Morimoto Asia was our favorite place in Disney Springs.
The restaurant was BEAUTIFUL and the food was AMAZING!
This is obviously an Asian restaurant. You place your order and the food comes out as it gets ready.
The first thing to arrive were the Egg Rolls.
I ordered the half rack of the Morimoto Spare Ribs.
These were THE BEST ribs I've ever eaten!
They are basted in a hoisin sweet chili glaze.
I wanted to lick the plate!
I also ordered some Chicken Bao Buns.
They weren't very good. I wouldn't get them again.
The bao buns in Epcot's China pavilion are 1000 times better.
Chicken Legs went all out with some sushi.
He loved every single bite.
We finished the meal with some Churro Fondue.
It was served with a tube of homemade Nutella and vanilla cream.
The churros were good, but not as good as what you get in the parks.
Overall, we LOVED Morimoto Asia and would definitely eat here again!!
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'
We stopped in at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' for lunch.
We arrived when they opened at 11:00 and seating wasn't a problem.
We started with a Bunch of Puppies.
Hushpuppies served with pimento cheese and red pepper jelly.
These were GOOD!!!
Chicken Legs ordered the famous Fried Chicken & Doughnuts.
The Fried Chicken & Doughnuts is served with mashed potatoes.
SO creamy and delicious!!
I went with the Fried Chicken Sandwich.
Buttermilk-brined for 24 hours and double-battered, dressed with hot sauce, aioli, iceberg lettuce, tomato and bread and butter pickles. I left off the pickles because I'm not a pickle person.
The sandwich was served with served with house-made barbecue chips drizzled with icebox dressing.
SO good!!!
We LOVED Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'.
We are heading back down to Florida in a few weeks.
I am going to see if I can talk Chicken Legs into going to Disney ONE more time before our annual pass expires.
I REALLY want to eat a few more things here!
The Chicken Biscuits and Deviled Eggs are calling my name!
STK Orlando
I've been wanting to try STK for a while.
I was excited to see them open a location at Disney Springs.
The atmosphere at STK is so much fun. They have live DJ spinning the hits while you eat.
The meal starts with some crazy delicious bread!!
Pull-apart bread topped with bleu cheese butter & chive oil.
I don't even like bleu cheese and I devoured this bread! YUM!
Chicken Legs got the wedge.
I ordered the double smoked bacon.
SO good!!
Chicken Legs ordered the filet.
It was cooked perfectly.
He also got a side of the mushrooms.
I got the Lil' BRGs off the appetizer menu.
Wagyu beef, special sauce on sesame seed buns.
They were good.
One word of warning - it has caramelized onions under the cheese.
It also had truffle oil. The onions and truffle oil aren't mentioned on the menu.
I dislike both, so I would have asked for them to be left off the burgers.
The star of my meal was the Mac & Cheese!
O-M-G! I could have just eaten this as my meal!
We skipped dessert because we just didn't have the room for it.
Overall, we really liked STK and would definitely return.
Frontera Cocina
We noticed Fonterea Cocina on a previous trip. It smelled SO good! I made sure to get a reservation on our last trip.
We started with some fancy margaritas.
Next up was an order of chips and salsa.
It comes with a Smoky chipotle & herby salsa verde.
It was good. Just super SMALL!
For $10 I expected a lot more. Both salsas were less than 1/4 cup.
We also tried the Queso Fundido.
Queso Chihuahua melted with roasted poblanos and caramelized onions, warm corn tortillas .
It was good.
Chicken Legs got the Creekstone Ribeye.
Ancho chile rubbed Creekstone ribeye steak, crispy onion strings, Cotija Mashed potatoes, caramelized plantains with crema and Cotija cheese, tomatillo salsa, warm corn tortillas.
I got the Carne Asada for tacos.
Carne Asada for making Soft Tacos
Grilled steak, poblano rajas, black beans refritos with queso fresco, salsa verde, guacamole, served with corn tortillas.
Both of our entrees came out COLD.
Overall, we thought Frontera Cocina was extremely overpriced and not worth the money.
The food was average at best, and we were really disappointed it came out cold.
Have you tried Frontera Cocina? Did you like it?
Maybe we just ordered the wrong things.
What are your favorite places to eat in Disney Springs?
What should we add to our list??
The Polite Pig is on my list.
What else should I add??

I seriously think ULIPs ought to be called Unit "Loss" Investment Plans.
I am yet to come across someone who has actually made money off a ULIP. A recent comment on one of the other posts reads — "My wife had taken a ULIP from Bajaj Allianz 5-years back and the first year charges were 90%! Would you believe it? We sold the policy after 4-years and just about managed to recover the investment amount." There are countless other ULIP-horror stories that you can read when you have some leisure time.
But then, it's very easy to be misled into buying a ULIP, especially when you see ads such as this:
You'd be forgiven for thinking that life insurance can solve all major problems in your life from [having children?, to] educating your children, to marrying them off, to saving/investing for your goals, to saving enough money to say no to work that you do just for the sake of doing it. Wow! So, is there something that life insurance can't do?
But then remember these words: "One click is all it takes to lose your hard-earned money." That should have been the ad's tagline but then you really can't publish that can you?
With ULIPs, Units Lose and United [We] Lose. Simply run away as fast as you can whenever someone (usually it's a relative or a family friend isn't it?) uses the words "unit" and "linked" in the same sentence. You'll be financially much better off in life.

Do sleep machines put your baby at risk?
Michael Essany
Mar 25, 2014 in
According to a string of new reports, electronic devices made to lull infants to sleep by producing soothing sounds can, at maximum volume, be loud enough to damage their hearing.
These machines produce what is referred to as "white noise" in order to drown out noise disturbances while a baby is sleeping, and are an extremely popular gift at baby showers. They have also been widely recommended by "parenting experts" and even some sleep experts have advised parents that they can use them all night in order to make sure that their baby gets plenty of rest.
The New York Times
reports, many parents and their children have become used to these soothing sounds and some can't take a nap without them.
Researchers at the University of Toronto recently found that on maximum volume, some of these devices produced between 68.8 decibels and 92.9 decibels of sound at a distance of 30 cm, all of which exceed the 50 dB limit set in 1999 for hospital nurseries. Indeed, 85 dB is actually the workplace safety limit that's been set for adults by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It's because of these new findings that many health specialists are alarmed.
Dr. Blake Papsin, the chief otolaryngologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, says these machines "are capable of delivering noise that we think is unsafe for full-grown adult..." The inspiration for Dr. Papsin's research resulted from a parent bringing a portable white noise machine to the hospital that was as "roaring as a carwash."
Experts are quick to note, however, that not all high-tech solutions designed to ease babies into sleep are dangerous or ineffectual. In fact, there are some recently launched resources that have been proven as safe as they are effective.
Last year, the makers of
Sleep Genius
— a neuroscience-based sleep app recently integrated into Samsung's new GEAR 2 smartwatch — released
Sleep Genius Baby
, an iOS application used in hospital nurseries and NICUs throughout the U.S.
As opposed to simply providing canned and potentially deafening white noise, Sleep Genius Baby, created by leading experts in neurodevelopment, child development, sound, and music therapy, say the app leverages decades of neurological research on the impact of music and sound in the development and sleep patterns of babies. Dr. David Perlmutter, author of
The Better Brain Book
says the app "is an essential ingredient for improving a baby's sleep and promoting the health and development of their language, learning and music ability."
Nonetheless, despite safe resources in this product category for parents, experts caution parents to do their homework before using a sleep machine for babies that lacks a certain scientific pedigree and safeguards for hearing damage.
Although not involved in the study, Dr. Gordon B. Hughes, the program director of clinical trials for the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, says that "unless parents are adequately warned of the danger, or the design of the machines by manufacturers is changed to be safer, then the potential for harm exists, and parents need to know about it."
Dr. Mark Weiss Lewis, author of the book
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
and a pediatrician, said that parents could definitely still use the machines but with new precautions. "If it's too close or it's too loud, this might not be healthy for your baby," he said. But "a quiet machine that's far away may cause no harm whatsoever."
The problem is that many models are actually designed to be attached directly to a baby's crib, including the Sound Spa Glow Giraffe from Homedics and the Sea Dreams Soother from Baby Einstein. When asked about the report, Ashley Mowrey, a spokeswoman for Graco, was unable to specify what the loudest output for their Sleep Slumber Sound Machine actually is.
Conversely, there are some specialists who believe that the findings of the study might have been overestimated and that the reaction to it might be a bit overblown. For example, Brian J Fligor, and audiologist and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Audiology, believes that the study might be off by as much as 7 dB and is questioning whether the authors of the study used the correct procedure for differentiating between the ear canal of a newborn child and that of an adult. "I don't see these results as a call for drastic reduction in use," he said.
Part of the problem lies with this new study's reference to a previous study published in 2003 in the Journal of Science. In that study it was found that continuous exposure to white noise was detrimental to the development of the brain's hearing center in newborn rats.
Lisa L Hunter, the scientific director of research in the audiology division at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, said that even while a baby is sleeping their brain is learning to differentiate between different sounds at different pitches and levels. "If you've conditioned them to white noise, there's every indication that they might not be as responsive as they otherwise should be to soft speech," she said.
What's interesting, and a bit concerning, about this newest study is that the parents involved were not asked exactly how or where they were using these white noise machines in their homes.

Dom is a very spacious (70m2) and very central one-bedroom luxury apartment set in a small new build. It is situated in the true heart of Zermatt (just behind the Zermatterhof hotel), in the quaintest part of town. You are seconds away from the main street and all its shops and restaurants, yet the location is so quiet you can hear birdsong.
The apartment features a large entrance hall, an open-plan kitchen with a spacious dining / living room, a double bedroom with en-suite bath/shower and a separate W/C. This two-person apartment is so spacious that the dining table seats six: enough space to throw a dinner party!
Situated on the 2nd floor (with lift), Dom is a luminous East / North facing apartment with big windows and a balcony, the views over the surrounding old wooden chalets are absolutely charming and authentically Alpine. You can see the Dom mountain in the background, often glowing pink, as its peak always catches the last rays of the setting sun. The furnishings are high quality and modern, while the kitchen is beautifully equipped, including a large freezer, dishwasher, and a washing machine / tumble dryer.
It's a really good choice if you want far more space than a large hotel suite could provide, with the added benefit of having complete privacy. Bakeries, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants are all on your doorstep, while the closest ski lift is 5 minutes away on foot.

Kaylynn is changing right before my eyes. Sometimes when I get her up in the morning I think she grew overnight. She just rolled over for the first time on Sunday. First she went from her tummy to her back and then later in the day she flipped from her back to her tummy. And I missed it both times! At least Davin got to see the first one.
Today when she was fussing in her crib I heard Desmond go in (I was listening on the monitor) and he said in a sweet voice, "It's okay, Kaylynn. Don't cry. I'm here." And she did stop crying -for a moment anyway. Melts my heart! I love watching him love her.

It's time to cook for dinner. After staring at my fridge for a while, I decided to make a chicken wings dish. I want to eat something sweet and spicy today. So I try to create my own chicken wings recipe. The result turns out not so bad. Well, not spicy enough for me. But still good. This recipe goes very well with hot steamed rice. Yum!
Ingredients :
Ingredients :
- 10 Chicken wings
- 1/2 medium onion, minced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tbs tomato sauce
- 1 tbs sweet soy sauce
- 1 tbs worcester sauce
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 3 tbs sweet chili sauce (or more)
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tbs honey + 2 tbs sweet chili sauce, mixed
Preparation :
- In a pan, heat 3 tbs vegetable oil
- Add minced onion and garlic into preheated oil, saute until the onion become translucent.
- Add water, tomato sauce, soy sauce, worcester sauce, paprika powder, ginger powder, and sweet chili sauce into the pan. Stir them together.
- Add chicken wings into the pan. Stir them together until they are coated with the sauce.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven 200 C (400 F) and prepare an ovenproof dish.
- Let them cooked at low-medium heat for about 10 min. Turn them over.
- Continue to cook them until almost all of the water are evaporated. (it will take about 10 more minutes)
- Turn off the heat and place the chicken wings into an ovenproof dish.
- Coat all of them with mixed honey and sweet chili sauce using a pastry brush.
- Put them into preheated oven for about 10 minutes
- Take the chicken wings out, and coat them again with honey mixture.
- Put them back into the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Serve them hot with sliced cucumber and tomato.
I didn't only serve the chicken wings with sliced cucumber and tomato, but with leftover onion from the pan. When i transfer the wings into the oven, i left all the onion and all the spices in the pan. I continue to cook them for 1-2 minutes, and transfer them into a small bowl.
When i eat my dinner, i took a little bit of this onion and mix them up with my hot steamed rice. It tasted great. It was sweet, a little bit spicy, and made my chicken wing tasted even better. I'm definitely going to make this dish again next time.

Every category manager's dream is to have their whole organisation buying off the one contract. One global resources company is one step closer to making this dream a reality.
Recognising the value that can be gained from organisational compliance to negotiated contracts, this organisation has implemented a global category management model that promotes compliance with system tools and global policy documents. By focusing on contracted spend as a major procurement key performance indicator, this organisation has increased its spend on system contracts, improved visibility of organisational spend in major categories and reduced its exposure to legal and commercial risks associated with off-contract spend.
To reinforce the behaviours that reflect this approach to category management, The Faculty has worked with this client to develop a Category Management framework which has been explicitly designed to manage governance and risk across its global spend portfolio.
The project involved developing a comprehensive guide to undertaking Category Management within this organisation's systems environment, linking best practices in Category Management with the specific systems and policy framework. Providing a step-by-step guide for undertaking all aspects of Category Management, allows for flexible sourcing approaches that meet the organisations risk management parameters.
In addition, The Faculty has worked with this organisation's procurement teams globally to provide best practice coaching on Category Management planning, strategy execution and supplier management. Encompassing the spectrum from understanding business and market drivers, to undertaking sourcing activities and developing a joint performance planning model, procurement personnel globally have adopted a consistent, comprehensive approach to the management of key spend areas that promotes security of supply and ensures compliance with internal policy documents.

Suffering quotes
We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our body, which is doomed to decay..., from the external world which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless force of destruction, and finally from our relations with other men... This last source is perhaps more painful to use than any other. Sigmund Freud
(also aboutRelationships)
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. Woody Allen
(also aboutLove, Happiness, Absurd)
Suffering quotes by Paulo Coelho
Also aboutHeart, Fear, Love, Happiness, Loneliness, People
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream. After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony. Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Suffering quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Also aboutSadness, Intelligence, Pain, Great, People, Love, Alcohol, Addiction, Drinking, Worship
Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering... To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise. And the more I drink the more I feel it. That's why I drink too. I try to find sympathy and feeling in drink... I drink so that I may suffer twice as much! Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
Suffering quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Also aboutMemories, Religion, Sadness, Catholic
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering. Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Suffering quotes by Franz Kafka
Also aboutMisery, Self-perception, World, Inspiration, Despair, Writing, Life, Existantialism
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy. Suffering is the positive element in this world, indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive. Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins. You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid. This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.

$ 39.99 $ 47.00 You Save 14% ($ 7.01)
We travel and walk a lot, and the inserts really help to keep my feet stabilized.
I didn't think they would work because they seem so narrow in the heel and all the way down the insole. But when I put them under my factory insole on my New balance shoes, I don't feel like they are too narrow. They have helped me to some extent however not completely. But after buying only one pair, I like them well enough to order two more.
These are good!
We know you're going to be absolutely thrilled when you slip Samurai Insoles into your favorite pair of shoes and discover what it's like to live without sore, fatigued flat feet. But we don't expect you to simply take our word for it!
That's why we're giving you an unconditional, no-risk, no-hassle 60-day money-back guarantee. Try Samurai Insoles for yourself for 60 days – if you decide that the affordable relief and support they provide isn't right for you, just send them back and we'll promptly refund every single penny of your investment. We'll even pay the return shipping!
Now that we're taking on absolutely ALL the risk… is there ANY reason left not to say "goodbye" to your tired, sore feet for good?
If you're one of the millions who suffer from flat feet, you know how miserable it can be. Standing, walking, exercising… it all feels like a tremendous chore. And even worse, foot problems often cause pain to radiate through your legs and even into your back. It's downright excruciating… and it keeps you from enjoying the activities you once took for granted!
But now, there's Samurai Insoles – lightweight yet highly effective orthotic insoles that provide the support and comfort you've been missing. Versatile and durable, these orthotic insoles give flat feet the support they need for freedom from soreness and fatigue… no matter how active your lifestyle!
Orthotic insoles are often recommended for relief of:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Heel and Arch Pain
- Flat Feet
- Tendonitis
- Shin Splints
- Ball of the Foot Pain
- Knee and Back Pain
Samurai Insoles were designed by a leading podiatrist to address the root causes of tired, flat feet. Unlike cheaper shoe inserts, Samurai Insoles feature a springy molded orthotic core that provides the perfect amount of support in all of the right places.
That means finally being able to take on your day without the exhausted feet you've almost grown used to. You get the all-day comfort you deserve in a pair of low-profile, wear-anywhere orthotic insoles that will fit perfectly in your shoes.
We've crafted our Samurai Insoles with orthotic laboratory precision to fit YOUR foot size – not a size range (after all, you don't buy shoes that way… who's ever heard of a "size 9-12" pair of shoes?). That means that there's no cutting, trimming, stuffing, or jamming Samurai Insoles into your shoes.
We understand that, in order for your orthotic insoles to give you lasting relief, they need to be easy to use (otherwise, they'll just end up in your closet).
And because we insisted on taking extra care to make Samurai Insoles thin and low-profile, you'll get the same fantastic relief in a pair of dress shoes or flats as you do in your athletic trainers.
There are plenty of cheap foam inserts out there, and companies have invented some pretty clever ways to make them appealing (we're looking at you "stand on our fancy machine" brands). But the vast majority don't address the real sources of flat feet discomfort.
So, you end up buying pair after pair, desperately hoping that the next insoles will finally be "the ones"… and spending hundreds of dollars in the process! And getting custom orthotics is no less costly – even a set of simple inserts can set you back $500 or more!
But now, you can finally get the flat feet relief you deserve for a fraction of the price of custom orthotics.
Foot pain can be severely detrimental to your lifestyle. The ability to walk pain-free is vital to the quality of life you deserve. When feet have a sub-optimal shape, or shoes don't offer adequate support, the tendons and ligaments of the foot can become strained and fatigued.
This can lead to overuse of the foot structures. Your body immediately springs into action, trying to compensate for your feet not operating at peak efficiency. The energy needed to compensate can be massive, leaving you tired, aching, and drained. This can create a "domino-effect" of pain, radiating from your feet to your knees, hips, or even the low back.
Insoles are a common first step for anyone who suffers from foot pain. Gel insoles in particular are a popular choice among new foot pain sufferers, however their lack of support generally does not address the actual source of foot pain.
Samurai Orthotic Insoles are biomechanically designed to optimize the function of your feet and legs. They provide a natural form-fitting feel, while controlling the flattening of the foot within the shoe.
By realigning the joints of the feet and legs, as well as reducing the harmful forces impacting these joints, Samurai Orthotic Insoles can relieve discomfort caused by a variety of conditions, as well as prevent further damage to your feet.
Finding a comfortable, supportive orthotic insole sounds simple, right? Think again! One of the most frustrating experiences I have as a podiatrist is helping my patients find exactly that. I've evaluated a massive number of over the counter arch supports, insoles, and orthotics, and have generally been underwhelmed.
I finally decided to design the "perfect" over-the-counter orthotic insole for my patients, as well as myself. By creating an orthotic insole that was comfortable, lightweight, affordable, and also fit in a wide variety of footwear, I was able to provide my patients with a convenient and effective way to get the arch support their feet needed. I quickly realized the magnitude of developing this simple little device. I could help so many people, get back to doing the things they love!
-Dr. Tom Lembo

You can also read the plan on HillaryClinton.com.
Hillary Clinton believes that we are stronger together and that's why she is fighting for an America where all Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) can succeed, regardless of their background or where they came from.
The AAPI community is standing with Hillary because they know she's had a career-long record of defending their best interests: from advocating for the Children's Health Insurance Program while she was First Lady to fighting for comprehensive immigration reform as a U.S. Senator to making the Asia-Pacific region a top foreign policy priority as Secretary of State.
As President, Hillary has plans to break down barriers and improve the lives of AAPIs by:
- Raising incomes and creating good-paying jobs
- Providing quality and affordable education
- Improving health and expanding access to health care
- Protecting Social Security and Medicare
- Keeping us safe here at home
- Fighting for comprehensive immigration reform
- Breaking down barriers and bringing AAPIs together
Raising Incomes and Creating Good-Paying Jobs
Hillary believes that America is stronger together when we grow together. As President, she will build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. To promote equitable economic growth, she will:
- Fight for an economy that works for all AAPIs, not just those at the top. As President, Hillary will give AAPI working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs. She will create good-paying jobs and raise incomes by investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to strengthen and grow our economy. And she'll also close corporate tax loopholes and make the most fortunate pay their fair share.
- Help AAPI small businesses thrive. Hillary Clinton knows that small businesses are the engine of the American economy – creating nearly two-thirds of new American jobs, fueling U.S. innovation, and offering crucial ladders to prosperity for hard-working entrepreneurs and families. The majority of Asian-owned businesses are small businesses and they form one of the strongest segments of America's economy: between 2007 and 2012, Asian-owned businesses grew by 24 percent (from 1.5 million to 1.9 million), ten times more than the national growth rate. In the same period, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander-owned businesses grew by 45% (from 37,687 to 54,749), twenty times the national growth rate of 2%. While small businesses have helped AAPI families get ahead, many segments of the AAPI community continue to face barriers in securing the resources and capital they need to grow. Hillary will fight to level the playing field for AAPI small business owners by cutting red tape, expanding access to capital, providing tax relief, expanding access to new markets and fighting discrimination in the lending market.
- Close the gender wage gap. On average, AAPI women earn 86 cents for every dollar earned by a white male, and the gap is even larger for specific segments of the AAPI community. For example, Vietnamese-American women are paid only 61 cents for every dollar earned by a white male, and Bhutanese American women only 38 cents. Hillary will fight to break down barriers that AAPI women face in achieving pay equity and ensure that all women are on equal footing with men.
- Raise the minimum wage. Hillary will also push to raise the minimum wage, provide incentives for companies to share profits with their employees, and boost apprenticeships to help more people move into the workforce. Because women represent nearly two-thirds of all minimum wage workers, a higher minimum wage will also help close the gender pay gap, lift millions of women out of poverty, and have a ripple effect across our economy. When women make more, families benefit.
- Invest in technology and innovation. Hillary's plan will leverage technology to create good-paying jobs on Main Street through new commitments in computer science and STEM education, will deliver high-speed broadband, and will ensure America remains the global leader in technology by promoting more high-tech exports and ensuring the free flow of data. She will also increase capital for growth-oriented small businesses and start-ups, with a focus on minority, women, and young entrepreneurs. For innovators who decide to launch either new businesses that operate in distressed communities, or social enterprises that provide measurable social impact and benefit, Hillary will offer forgiveness of up to $17,500 of their student loans.
In contrast, Donald Trump has shown time and again that he cannot be trusted to secure the basic economic dignity of Americans. He wants to eliminate the federal minimum wage and said that paid family leave hurts our economy. He has often stiffed small businesses—leading some to go out of business—with his deceptive and reckless business practices. He and the Republican Party would provide trillions in tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and corporations at the expense of working families, seniors, and the health of our economy.
Providing Quality and Affordable Education
The public school system is a core pillar of America's democracy and a driver of social and economic mobility for AAPI families. Hillary believes that every child deserves a world-class education, regardless of his or her ZIP code. As President, Hillary will fight hard to:
- Make college debt-free, and help AAPI graduates with their current debt. About half of Asian Americans graduate from college with debt, with the average indebted 4-year college graduate owing more than $20,000 in student loan debt. As announced in her New College Compact, Hillary will enable all borrowers to refinance their loans and to simply and easily enroll in income-based repayment so they never have to pay more than they can afford. She also recently announced she will offer a 3-month moratorium on federal loan payments so borrowers can avail themselves of the best options for them, and she has proposed a new measure to eliminate college tuition for working families.
- Invest in Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Nearly half of all AAPI undergraduates are enrolled in community college. High levels of educational attainment and outcomes among AAPIs mask striking differences among AAPI subgroups, where certain communities are falling behind. For example, Southeast Asians as a group have low levels of educational attainment: less than 15 percent of Cambodians, Hmong, and Laotians have earned a college degree. Hillary will strengthen AANAPISIs and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) by making historic new investments to keep costs down, provide a quality education, and ensure dedicated support to improve student outcomes and completion rates at these schools.
- Provide every child with a world-class education. Hillary believes that every child, in every neighborhood, should be guaranteed a high-quality education. That is why Hillary will ensure all four-year-olds have access to preschool, launch a national campaign to modernize and elevate the teaching profession, and provide every student in America an opportunity to learn computer science.
Donald Trump believes America invests too much in educating our children and wants to "largely eliminate" the Department of Education, which would have a significant impact on AAPI and other minority students. His education expertise consists mainly of the now defunct Trump University. Trump's for-profit school has been accused of both fraud and high-pressure sales tactics to scam vulnerable Americans out of their savings.
Improving Health and Expanding Access to Health Care
Hillary Clinton has spent her career ferociously fighting to pass comprehensive health care reform, working at every level to expand access to quality, affordable care. She will continue to work hard to build on these foundations:
- Defend and expand the Affordable Care Act. Prior to the ACA, one in every six AAPIs did not have access to health insurance, surpassing the average national uninsured rate. Twenty million uninsured adults have gained health insurance coverage under the ACA, including more than 2 million AAPIs. Hillary will stand up to Republican attempts to roll back the law and will ensure that it reaches more members of the AAPI community by allowing all families to purchase health insurance through an ACA exchange, no matter their immigration status.
- Make premiums more affordable and lessen out-of-pocket expenses. Because many AAPIs are self-employed or run small businesses, cost is often the main reason for non-coverage. For example, 14% of AAPIs age 50 and above, and 20% of those age 50 to 64, lack health insurance. Hillary believes that we must expand coverage for families and provide relief from high costs; that is why she will provide a tax credit of up to $5,000 per family to offset excessive out-of-pocket costs. She will enhance the premium tax credits now available so that families pay less—and not more than 8.5 percent of their income. Finally, she will fix the "family glitch" so that families can access coverage when their employer's family plan premium is too expensive.
- Address the lack of access to primary health care, dental care, mental health care and affordable prescription drugs. One critical component of expanding access to primary care in an effort to establish universal health coverage is the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) system. Today, 25 million people in the United States get their care from these community health centers each year, and more than 60% are people of color. Hillary will significantly expand that coverage so that every American, regardless of where they live or what their background is, has good quality primary health care available to them at a cost they can afford.
By contrast, Donald Trump wants to repeal the ACA, leaving over 18 million Americans without coverage. Low-income families who became eligible for Medicaid under the ACA expansion would lose their newly gained benefits. As far as what his healthcare plan would consist of after he repeals the ACA? No one knows other than that it's going to be "something great."
Protecting Social Security and Medicare
Throughout her career, Hillary has spoken out for seniors and stood up for Medicare and Social Security, and she is committed to preserving, protecting and strengthening these lifelines for today's seniors and for future generations. Within the AAPI community, 6% of those age 65 and older are uninsured versus 1% of Americans overall over 65. All American seniors have paid into these programs for a lifetime, and they've earned those benefits when they retire.
- Defend and strengthen Social Security so that AAPI families can retire with dignity. Social Security has provided Americans with financial security over the past 80 years. It needs to be protected—not ripped away. Yet Republicans are threatening to dismantle the program. The stakes are high; especially because AAPIs would be greatly harmed by Social Security cuts. As president, Hillary will fight to defend Social Securityand expand benefits for widows and those who took time out of the paid workforce to care for a child or sick family member.
- Preserve Social Security for decades to come by asking the wealthiest to contribute more. Social Security must continue to guarantee dignity in retirement for future generations. Hillary understands that there is no way to accomplish that goal without asking the highest-income Americans to pay more, including options to tax some of their income above the current Social Security cap, and taxing some of their income not currently taken into account by the Social Security system.
- Drive down drug costs for seniors and other Americans. A typical senior spends over $500 per year out of his or her own pocket on prescription drugs. Hillary's plan will drive down drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prices with drug and biologic manufacturers; demanding higher rebates; and allowing Americans to import lower-cost drugs from foreign countries with approved safety standards.
Donald Trump has referred to Social Security as a Ponzi scheme and has called for privatizing it as well as increasing the retirement age. And during this campaign, he has offered ideas to strengthen the program.
Keeping Us Safe Here at Home
Hillary knows America's network of allies is part of what makes us exceptional. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton worked to make the world safer and to restore America's leadership in the world. As president, Hillary will also advocate for commonsense approaches to reduce gun violence and ensure our safety here at home.
- Address gun violence. While gun ownership is part of the fabric of many law-abiding communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence. More than 33,000 Americans are killed by guns each year: that's nearly 100 Americans a day. This is completely unacceptable. It is a rebuke to this nation we love. That's why Hillary will take common sense steps to reduce gun violence, including comprehensive background checks, cracking down on illegal gun traffickers, holding dealers and manufacturers accountable when they endanger Americans, and keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and stalkers.
- Keep our homeland secure. Hillary has laid out a comprehensive plan to harden our defenses at home. Her plan includes supporting first responders, law enforcement, and intelligence officers with the right tools, resources, intelligence, and training to prevent attacks before they happen; launching an intelligence surge to get security officials the tools they need to prevent attacks; and supporting law enforcement to build trustful and strong relationships with American Muslim communities. We need every American community invested in this fight, not fearful and sitting on the sidelines. As president, she'll keep America safe and strong, while upholding our core values and principles.
- Defeat ISIS. The threat we face from terrorism is real, urgent, and knows no boundaries. It is not enough to contain ISIS and the threat of radical jihadism, we have to defeat it.Hillary has a comprehensive strategy to defeat them on the battlefield by intensifying the coalition air campaign against ISIS fighters, leaders, and infrastructure; stepping up support for local Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground and coalition efforts to protect civilians; and pursuing a diplomatic strategy aimed at resolving Syria's civil war and Iraq's sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shias—both of which have contributed to the rise of ISIS. She would also work with our allies to dismantle the global terror network that supplies radical jihadists with money, weapons, and fighters.
- Strengthen alliances. As Secretary of State, Hillary made the Asia-Pacific region a top priority of U.S. foreign policy. Hillary traveled to Asia as her first overseas trip as Secretary to begin bolstering strategic engagement between the two regions. As President, Hillary will strengthen the essential partnerships that are a unique source of America's strength.
Donald Trump has a different approach. There has never been a major party candidate less qualified or less fit for the office of President of the United States or to be Commander-in-Chief than Donald Trump. He has promoted other countries obtaining nuclear weapons. He has called our military "a disaster," and he thinks our military should engage in war crimes. He has no strategy for dealing with key threats facing our country, including ISIS. He wants to abandon our allies and empower our adversaries, and has even praised anti-American dictators like Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin. He wants to build walls and keep people from entering the country based on their religion and national origin. His dangerous, incoherent policies would undo the progress we have made.
Fighting for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
America is a country of immigrants. Nearly two-thirds of the AAPI community is foreign-born. Hillary has made clear that we cannot wait any longer for immigration reform. She understands the importance of welcoming all people and breaking down the barriers that hold us apart, so she will:
- Introduce comprehensive immigration reform within her first 100 days. Asian immigrants make up 11% of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country, the vast majority of whom have lived in the U.S. for over a decade. Instead of breaking up law-abiding immigrant families who have enriched America, Hillary will offer them a path to full and equal citizenship. Further, Hillary understands that applicants from the Asia-Pacific region make up about 40% of the family visa backlog. She will address the backlog for those waiting for visas, which will help to reunite immigrant families.
- Attract and retain top talent from around the world. Our immigration system is plagued by visa backlogs and other barriers that prevent high-skilled workers and entrepreneurs—including from countries in Asia—from coming to, staying in, and creating jobs in America. Far too often, we require talented persons from other countries who are trained in U.S. universities to return home, rather than stay in here and continue to contribute to our economy. As part of a comprehensive immigration solution, Hillary would "staple" a green card to STEM master's degrees and PhDs from accredited institutions—enabling international students who complete degrees in these fields to move to green card status.
- Keep immigrant families together. While the Supreme Court's deadlock ruling in Texas v. U.S. was unacceptable, it was a procedural decision and casts no doubt on the fact that DAPA and DACA are entirely legal. As president, Hillary will continue to defend the programs, do everything possible under the law to go further to protect families, and introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship within her first 100 days.
- Promote naturalization. Hillary believes we should do more to help AAPI immigrants who are eligible for citizenship to take that last step. She will expand fee-waivers and increase access to language and outreach programs.
- Create a national Office of Immigrant Affairs. Hillary will create the first ever federal Office of Immigrant Affairs to ensure there is a dedicated place in the White House where integration policies and services for immigrants and refugees are managed.
We are a nation of immigrants, yet Donald Trump has promised to create a "deportation force" to round up and deport more than 11 million immigrants. Trump stated that our nation's immigration policies make us a "dumping ground for the rest of the world." Trump has also called for a "shutdown of Muslims entering the United States." This could adversely affect the more than 3 million Asian Americans who identify as Muslim – and tarnish America's reputation as an open and tolerant country.
Breaking Down Barriers and Bringing AAPIs Together
Hillary knows that racial inequality is not merely a symptom of economic inequality. We need to bring communities together to address both issues. As president, Hillary will fight to break down all the barriers that hold AAPIs back and build ladders of opportunity for all people by committing to:
- Reauthorize the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Initially created by President Bill Clinton in 1999 under Executive Order 13125, the White House Initiative on AAPIs was created to improve the quality of life of AAPIs through increased participation in federal programs where they may be underserved. Hillary will reauthorize the White House Initiative on AAPIs and enhance its regional networks in an effort to better connect local AAPI communities to federal services. Hillary will also continue the Initiative's work increasing language access and advancing data disaggregation. Recognizing subgroup disparities in areas such as health, education, immigration, civil rights, and employment allows the federal government to better target resources and develop effective solutions.
- End racial profiling. Racial profiling is demeaning and ineffective, and it erodes trust between law enforcement officers and the AAPI residents they serve. Hillary will work to end racial profiling that targets individuals, based solely on race, religion, ethnicity, and national origin, which is un-American and counterproductive.
- Combat discrimination and bullying in school. Too many AAPI students still face discrimination and bullying at school because of who they are, where they come from, or how they dress. Hillary will fight to pass the Safe Schools Improvement Act to prohibit bullying and harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion in federally funded school districts.
- Protect voting rights and expand access to the ballot box. Despite the rapid growth of the AAPI community, their voting participation rates are comparatively lower than other communities. Often times, this is due to language barriers, lack of access to voter resources, or voter suppression efforts. Hillary believes we should be making it easier to vote, not harder. That is why she will fight to repair the Voting Rights Act, set new standards for early in-person voting, implement universal automatic voter registration, and strongly enforce requirements that certain jurisdictions provide bilingual poll workers and ballot translation for language minority groups.
- Increase AAPI representation in government. Hillary believes that our federal government should reflect the rich diversity of our country and represent a wide range of life experiences, and that the AAPI community should have a voice throughout our government. As Secretary of State, Hillary had the privilege of working with and promoting a number of AAPI employees who made the department and the conduct of our foreign policy stronger. As President, she will build on President Obama's progress of appointing AAPIs throughout the executive branch. From special assistants to cabinet members, AAPIs will play a key role in helping to shape her administration and its policy priorities.
The choice in this election is clear for the AAPI community: we can either come together to support Hillary Clinton, who has been fighting for us throughout her entire career, or we can let Donald Trump tear us apart with his divisive rhetoric and dangerous ideas.
Donald Trump has shown that he is temperamentally unfit and unqualified to be president. He would do serious harm to our security and our economy.
At a time when Americans are looking for a president who can bring people together, Donald Trump has done nothing but divide us with hateful rhetoric and bigoted policy proposals while bullying and demeaning anyone who disagrees with him.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Has the writing style, pace, tense, or tone changed in Chapter 8?
Is it any different from the other chapters? What purpose might this serve?
Is it any different from the other chapters? What purpose might this serve?
Chapter 8 is different than the others for a few reasons. Despite its Gothic nature, Jekyll and Hyde is more or less a detective story. By this point in the novel Utterson should be close to solving the mystery. On the contrary, Utterson still has no clue as to the many questions surrounding the case. Here the tone of the story becomes rather desperate. Stevenson begins to move the pace of the plot faster. Circumstances come together that enable Utterson to stumble right into the thick of the mystery. Stevenson seems to give Utterson everything he needs, like Jekyll's scared staff for example. The plot seems to charge forward with Utterson trying to hold it back. He resists breaking down the door to Jekyll's lab; it just wouldn't be the proper Victorian thing to do. Finally Stevenson seems to almost force a conclusion with the final letter that they read which explains everything.

Alleluia!!!!! Today is the glorious Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which was instituted in 1726 to be celebrated by the Universal Church. Today, we celebrate in union with all of the Carmelites worldwide the Feast of our Queen, Sister, and Mother.
The roots of this feast can be traced back to the Old Testament; to the great and holy Prophet Elijah. Elijah was filled with fiery zeal for the Lord, as he lived a virgin contemplative life as a hermit on Mount Carmel. Tradition tells us that the Lord revealed to Elijah that the Mother of the Redeemer would – like himself – be a vowed virgin; however unlike him -sinless from conception (The Carmelite Way John Welch, O. Carm 56). This zealous prophet is honored as Saint Elijah, model and spiritual father of the Carmelites.
The Order of Carmelites was instituted to Honor the Blessed Mother. As early as 1294, Papal documents state that the "Holy Order [was] divinely instituted in honor of Blessed Mary, the glorious Virgin (Welcome to Carmel, "Carmel and Our Lady," Eamon R. Carroll, O Carm. 120)." It has been said that the Carmelite vocation is two-fold: first, vacare Deo – "to be at rest in God," and second, Mariae laudibus quotide vacare – "to be caught up daily in the praises of Mary (Welcome to Carmel, "Carmel and Our Lady," Eamon R. Carroll, O Carm. 123)." The Carmelites have a very special and unique relationship with Mary. They venerate the loving Queen and Mother who protects us with her Scapular. Mary is also venerated as a sister journeying with us to the Summit- which is Christ.
On her feast, let us thank Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the ancient Carmelite hymn.
Flos Carméli, vitis fl orígera,
Splendor cæli, virgo puérpera singuláris:
Mater mitis, sed viri néscia
Carmelítis da privilégia,
Stella Maris.
English Translation
O Flower of Carmel, ever-flowering vine,
Splendor of heaven, singular Virgin in labor:
O meek Mother, but not known to man
To the Carmelites give favors,
O Star of the Sea.
– ancient Carmelite hymn, Prayer of St. Simon Stock
Our Lady of Mount Carmel – Protect and Pray for us !!!!
