Sen. Bernie Sanders Questions Huge Drug Price Hike
The previously low-cost drug Firdapse now costs $375,000 a year, and Sen. Bernie Sanders has demanded that drug maker Catalyst Pharmaceuticals explain the huge price increase.
"Catalyst's decision to set the annual list price at $375,000 is not only a blatant fleecing of American taxpayers, but is also an immoral exploitation of patients who need this medication," Sanders wrote in a letter to company president and CEO Patrick McEnany, CNN reported.
"Simply put, it is corporate greed," wrote the independent senator from Vermont.
Firdapse is used to treat a rare neuromuscular disease called Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, which affects about 1 in 100,000 people in the United States. The disease weakens and fatigues muscles, CNN reported.
"I am profoundly concerned that Catalyst's actions will cause patients to suffer or die," Sanders wrote in the letter asking the company to explain the factors that led to dramatic price increase. He asked for a reply by Feb. 18.
Sanders also noted that the company has said many Firdapse patients will pay about $10 out of pocket each month, and asked for more detail about that claim, CNN reported.
Catalyst said it had no immediate response when contacted by CNN.
Experts Ask WHO to Declare Ebola Outbreak in Congo an International Health Emergency
The World Health Organization should hold a meeting to consider declaring the Ebola outbreak in Congo an international public health emergency, experts say.
Writing in The Lancet medical journal, the international group of public health experts said such a declaration would help galvanize "high-level political, financial, and technical support to address the Ebola outbreak that started last May," the Associated Press reported.
The outbreak is the second largest recorded worldwide.
"The epidemic is not under control, and has a high risk of spread to the region, perhaps globally," said lead author Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of Georgetown University's O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, the AP reported.
"Taking bold measures to prevent the spread of the disease in this country where violence is prevalent, and a famine is predicted, is critical to preventing a humanitarian disaster," Gostin said.
On Monday, the WHO said it and its partners in Congo and neighboring countries continue to closely monitor the outbreak for signs that an expert committee meeting would be required, the AP reported.
Washington State Measles Cases Now at 48 Since Jan. 1
There have been 48 confirmed cases of measles in Washington state since the start of the year as health officials struggle to stop the spread of the infectious disease.
Since Jan. 1, there have been 47 confirmed cases in Clark County and at least one confirmed case in King County, home of Seattle, CNN reported.
Thirty-four of the cases involved children ages 1 to 10, and 41 patients were not vaccinated against measles, according to Clark County officials.
Measles have also been reported in eight other states this year: Hawaii, Oregon, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Colorado, California and Georgia, CNN reported.
In New York, the measles outbreak is within observant Jewish communities and linked with from travel to Israel.
There have been at least 209 measles cases since October: 64 cases in Brooklyn and 145 cases in Orange and Rockland counties, according to the New York State Department of Health.
Public health officials have talked with parents, pediatricians and rabbinical leaders in the United States and Israel to encourage measles vaccination, CNN reported.
Recall Expanded for Warfarin Test Strips
Certain lots of Roche Diagnostics test strips should not be used with CoaguChek test meter devices to check levels of the blood thinner warfarin because patients may get inaccurate results and be at risk for serious injury or death.
The updated guidance was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Last November, Roche recalled more than 1.1 million packages of CoaguChek XS PT Test Strips that were distributed across the United States from Jan. 12, 2018 to Oct. 29, 2018.
Last month, medical product distributor Terrific Care/Medex Supply LLC issued a voluntary recall of certain Roche Diagnostics test strip lots used with CoaguChek, the FDA said.
The CoaguChek XS PT Test Strips announced in the latest recall were made by Roche, but distributed by Terrific Care/Medex Supply, and were not included in the recent Roche recall because these strips were not labeled or authorized for sale in the United States.
They were only distributed by Roche Diagnostics outside the country. Terrific Care/Medex Supply bought the Roche test strips from an unknown source and imported and sold them in the United States, the FDA explained.
Monitoring warfarin dosing is a critical part of using the drug properly to prevent and treat blood clots. Using faulty strips can lead to errors in medication dosage that could cause serious harm or death in some patients.
"That's why it's so concerning that this distributor continued to sell these test strips in the U.S., even though domestic sales had been stopped due to safety concerns. To reduce risks to patients, we're warning health care providers and the public about the dangers associated with this product," FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said in an agency news release.
Nutrition Diet, Science Diet Canned Dog Food Recalled
A number of Nutrition Diet and Science Diet canned dog food products are being recalled by Hill's Pet Nutrition because they may contain elevated levels of vitamin D.
Consuming high amounts of vitamin D can cause health issues in dogs and trigger symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss.
Consumption of very high levels of vitamin D, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including kidney dysfunction.
Owners whose dogs have consumed any of the recalled products listed and have any of the listed symptoms should contact their veterinarian, the company said.
For more information, consumers can call contact Hill's at 1-800-445-5777 or go to the company's website.
Internet Craze Highlighted in Super Bowl Ad
An internet craze known as ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) was highlighted in a Super Bowl commercial that's already attracted more than 10 million views.
The ad featured calming images of actress Zoe Kravitz whispering into a pair of microphones and softly tapping on a bottle, the AP reported.
Some people spend hours watching ASMR videos of activities such as slow and quiet talking, hair brushing, pages being turned in a book or paper crinkling because they claim it makes their brains tingle in a relaxing way, and some use it to help them get to sleep.
While scientists are studying ASMR, there is no proof that it is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, insomnia or any of the other problems proponents claim it solves, the AP reported.
Only about a dozen studies on ASMR have been published, which is a small number in the field of medical science, the AP reported.
In one study, researchers at the University of Winnipeg in Canada conducted brain scans of 11 people who experience ASMR and 11 people who don't, and discovered unexpected "teams" of neurons firing together in the brains of those who feel ASMR.
This suggests ASMR may be similar to synesthesia, a condition where people describe seeing music or numbers as specific colors, the AP reported.

Matthew 23:1-24
Jesus' Profile in Contrast
Since coming to Jerusalem, Jesus has challenged the whole range of leaders in the Temple by actions and teaching: Chief priests (authority, God's work in John); Pharisees (taxes to Caesar); Sadducees (resurrection); serious questions (great command, Messiah/David).
Matthew begins the last of five collection of Jesus' teaching: Mt 5-7, 10, 13, 18, now 23-25. He focuses many things said before and anticipates the future beyond Jesus' ministry.
Jesus had a sharp profile among the many teachers, viewpoints, and parties among Jews of his day: Pharisees, Sadducees/chief priests, Essenes, Zealots, individual prophets like John. Each pointed a direction for a people in waiting, after exile, subjugation, longing for a future. Many envisioned a rigorous, purified community and violent opposition to Rome (Pharisees, Essenes, Zealots in different ways). Temple leaders/Sadducees compromised with Rome.

Opening next month at RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco, "Early Works" a wonderful exhibition curated by Laura Moya and Laura Valenti Jelen.
"Early Works is an exhibition that examines the naive imagery made by contemporary photographers when they were children. These early images often reveal surprising talent, visual intuition, and honesty. Kept for many decades in shoeboxes and faded albums, the images are often cherished belongings that play a key role in defining the self as artist."
Proud to have a piece in it:

Stop caring about what other people think.
Over the last few months, caring about what others think has been playing on my mind. I've mainly thought about how it actually affects us and how it influences the decisions that we make. I don't think we realise how much something like this prevents us from doing, creating or talking about the things that we're passionate about.
If I was to recall the number of times I've refrained from posting a certain status or tweet, or even sharing a new song, I'd genuinely lose count. And why? Oh...well..because, what's Greg down the road going to say when he's seen it? Or...my friends...they are not going to let this one slide. No way! The next time I see them I'll never hear the end of it.
I've experienced moments like these on numerous occasions. We all have. In fact everyone reading this at some stage has experienced it. This is what really frustrates me. It's one of the main reasons I decided to write this. I want to get rid of this silly notion. Who gives a damn?! Why should other peoples opinions control our actions or desires? The simple answer is. They shouldn't. I've slowly come to terms with not having the ability to please everybody. It's a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but it's reality. You may not please everybody, but you might please someone...even if that someone's just yourself. It should still be enough.
I know now that I want to stop caring about negative opinions that others may have. Instead, I want to start doing. I want to inspire and I want to be inspired. Maybe you have the urge to do the same. And you deserve that opportunity. We all do. Hopefully you can take something away from this. That way we can all focus on the things that really matter. Don't let people push you around.
Take it easy,

Derry Girls star pays tribute to show's creator as first series ends
AS popular Channel 4 hit comedy Derry Girls came to a close last night one of the show's stars paid tribute to its creator Lisa McGee for making it a huge success.
Since its premiere some five weeks ago the comedy set in Derry has become a roaring success - and Channel 4's most successful launch in five years - with its witty one-liners and excellent casting.
It has been so popular a second series has already been commissioned.
The show burst onto screens at the start of January with a record 2.8 million people watching the first episode.
For the cast, Derry Girls proved to be a break-through in most of their careers.
I'm bawling, I'm so proud to be a part of this show I can't explain, so overwhelmed, thank you all so, so much #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/XWuQf8dn0D— Nicola Coughlan (@nicolacoughlan) February 8, 2018
Last night Louisa Harland, who plays Orla McCool, paid tribute to the writing skills of Lisa McGee.
"The overall quality of the show and the way it's been received on both sides of the Irish Sea has been amazing, together with the fact that it's a female-led comedy and has hit a nerve.
"I'm so thankful Lisa has given us this platform," she said.
Channel 4 last night said it expects the second series of Derry Girls to hit television screens in 2019.
The television channel took the highly unusual step of commissioning a second series following just one show after viewing figures proved it the biggest comedy launch success since Ricky Gervais's "Derek."
A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: "Season two is being written at the moment so we don't have a confirmed transmission date but we're hoping Derry Girls will return next year."
The show on the trials and tribulations of teenager, Erin Quinn and her friends, Clare, the brassy Michelle, spaced-out Orla and "the wee English fella" James as they negotiate the perils of the Troubles in 1990s Derry.
Everyone's favourite sister with a divine mister... #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/VN5ngWXRKb— Channel 4 (@Channel4) February 7, 2018
In last night's episode, Erin was appointed editor of her convent school magazine while Orla became obsessed with step aerobics with hilarious consequences.
Writer Lisa McGee drew on her own experiences of growing up in the city to come up with the show which has become famous for its – often colourful – one-liners.
Well that's the way to end a series. So brilliant, so moving. Congratulations to everyone involved #DerryGirls— Richard Osman (@richardosman) February 8, 2018
Jimmy Mulville of Hat Trick Productions, which made the series, said the company was delighted with the success of the first run.
"We love this show and to be given the go-ahead for a second season after only one episode is a fantastic vote of confidence from the channel," he said.
The show's writer said she was equally delighted with Derry Girls' success.
"Derry Girls is such a special project for me and it means so much that the audience have taken to Erin and the gang so warmly," she said.
Ms McGee is planning to take Erin and her friends right up to US president Bill Clinton's historic visit to Derry in 1995. It has also been revealed that there could be a part for former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle.
Coyle – on whom Galway actor Nicola Coughlan (Clare) said she based her Derry accent – has confirmed she is in talks about a role.
She said: "That is something that could happen. It's just finding something that can work, that will fit into how great the rest of the show is."
Coyle attended the same school as the show's writer, Thornhill College. She has confirmed she was due to meet McGee to discuss a part.
"I love how she writes and it is based on being in Derry," she said.

John Wilson was a veteran of the Korean War. After the conflict, Wilson was discharged and took work in a local machine shop and settled down in Knoxville, Tennessee with his wife Lucille and baby daughter Loretta. On the night of March 17, 1955, John and his family were attacked by the local Ku Klux Klan. He was lynched and his family was burned to death. After the Klan left, John survived his lynching. Devastated by the death of his family, John followed where the Klan that murdered his family. John then forged two iron sledge hammers and become the vigilante known as John Henry. For three months, John plagued the Klan and had killed two Klansmen in his crusade. John Henry's reputation attracted the news media and remained a hot staple on the public, including the Martian J'onn J'onzz, who considered him an actual American hero.[1]
Tragically, John was wounded by the Klan and stumble upon a backyard and discovered by a young white girl, who outed him out despite John's pleading for help. Once caught he was burned alive.
However, his death didn't go unmentioned and his endeavors was highlighted in the television news show The Big Picture, which its host extolled Wilson's stance against racism and criticized the American government for ignoring the serious issue. J'onn J'onzz saw this and was very dismayed of Wilson's death, which contributed his demoralizing faith for humanity.[1]
Following the defeat of The Centre, a young John Henry Irons sat reading near John Wilson's gravestone.[2]
- Sledgehammers
Appearances in Other Media
- In the animated adaption of Justice League: The New Frontier John Henry features very little in the film, and his picture on the front page of Time magazine appears on J'onn J'onzz's wall. He only appear on a television news right before The Flash's interrupted announcement, who he also pays his respect for Wilson.

Why Does Your Business Plan Need to be Down and Dirty
I have launched about four different companies and a dozen or so products. Each of those attempts has been met with a miserable fate: failure. There is a laundry list of reasons why I failed repeatedly, but the primary reason I failed was that I did not have a business plan.
Do you have a business plan?
Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham, the authors of The Knack , a book on how street smart entrepreneurs can learn to manage the unpredictable startup ecosystem, share:
"A business plan lays out what you expect to do." The two continue. "You need it, so you'll know if you have a viable business."
A viable business? I thought, of course, my business is viable I am in a competitive market. Unfortunately, my premise was not only immature but grossly inaccurate.
I based my businesses success on the popularity of the market: everyone is starting a website, everyone is consulting and everyone is making lots of money, so I am also going to make lots of money.
So I assumed success, and without proof, I barreled forward with a shopping cart full of:
- Weak goals
- A defective awareness of a business plan
- And a third-rate understanding of viability
It's no wonder why I have been unsuccessful at building a new venture beyond a fledgling startup. Brodsky and Burlingham warn:
"What I am listening for are goals that can't be achieved by business, or goals that will get in the way of the business, or goals that are totally unrealistic given the particular business you're looking at."
So I took a long weekend hacked Josh Kaufman's " Creating A Personal Masterplan", and:
- Created my S.M.A.R.T.goals
- Educated me on viability, to accurately understanding cash flow
- And finally developed a basic business plan
After completing the exercise I felt confident in my chances of building a business that will reach critical mass, Brodsky and Burlingham share some insider expertise:
"Now, when I say the business plan, I don't mean anything elaborate. I'm talking about a modified, down-and-dirty income statement and cashflow statement. I just want a reasonable expectation of sales by month for a year."
Many businesses never break free of being a fledgling startup. While there might be an infinite number of reasons, in my experience it's been the lack of proper planning and execution . If you want to give your startup a good chance of achieving its targets, then I suggest taking the time and developing a down-and-dirty business plan.

How to Spend a Weekend in Tijuana, MEXICO
Tijuana, Mexico is my favorite weekend getaway from Los Angeles. Everybody who lives in LA spends weekends in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree, but doesn't realize that for the same two hour drive they could visit an entirely different country.
I recommend getting together a few friends and spending two nights in Tijuana, although if you don't have that much time, you can do it in one night. If you're spending the weekend coming from Los Angeles, you should drive down Friday early afternoon or evening (try to avoid doing the drive during rush hour, it can take up to 5 hours for the 2 hour trip.)
1. Don't forget your passport! If you have a US passport card, bring that instead of your passport book. You need a passport to return to the US from Mexico. Although I have witnessed several people get back in with just their drivers license and/or birth certificate, that situation is a hassle that you should avoid by getting/finding/replacing your passport (and get the passport card too while you're at it... its very handy to not have to carry and risk losing your actual passport and you get to go in the often quicker Ready Lane when you return).
2. Walk over the border, don't drive! Drive to San Ysidro and exit at the LAST USA EXIT. There we always park at BAJA MEX Insurance/Parking. It costs about $20 for a 24 hour period to park on weekends and only $6 for 24 hrs on weekdays. In my experience this is a safe place to park, and you can also change dollars into pesos here so you have some cash for a taxi when you cross the border. This lot is also conveniently located directly next to a new shopping center with a Peet's Coffee, Panda Express and a PUBLIC RESTROOM. Go there and use the toilet.
Walk towards the overpass and follow the signs to the pedestrian border crossing. It takes you over the freeway, over some trolley tracks, up a slight hill and through a crazy turnstile that says MEXICO. There's now an actual immigration counter when you cross, last year you literally just walked through the turnstile and you were in Mexico without having to talk to anyone.
*You can drive if you really want to, but the main reason we don't is the very long line that you'll have to wait in to drive back into the USA. This line often takes 4+ hours. Also it is recommended that you get supplemental insurance when driving in Mexico because your auto insurance most likely won't cover you out of the country.
3. Take a taxi or an UBER! The Hyatt recommended using the yellow cabs. There's a taxi stand when you cross and they accept dollars or pesos. A ride to anywhere your hotel will be should cost $8 or less (even for 4 or 5 people). So if they say $15 they are charging you the "tourist price", you can pay it since it's still cheap or just walk to another taxi and pay less.
UBER is in Tijuana, so regardless of where you are or where you are staying you can Uber anywhere you want to go! All of our Uber drivers have been great, and the rides are EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE ($2-$10 per ride with all of the rides within the downtown area below $4).
4. Hotels: I've stayed at the Hyatt, Hotel Ticuan and Hotel Palacio Azteca, which I had pre-booked online on booking.com. These ran about $100 a night for a 4 person room. The neighborhood the Hyatt is in is near several high-end restaurants and American chain businesses. It wasn't an especially interesting neighborhood, but for a first timer in Tijuana you may feel comfortable at a well rated hotel in this quieter neighborhood. Hotel Ticuan is off of Ave Revolution, the main strip of Tijuana where there are lots of bars, restaurants and tourist shops. Revolution is a bit loud and a little grimey, but its where you'll have to go if you want to actually experience Tijuana. I will probably look to stay in this neighborhood again next time I visit, Hotel Ticuan was ok but I feel like theres probably a better option.
5. Crossing the border back to the USA: Going into Mexico is easy, getting back into the states is the hard part. And its not hard, it just may have you standing in a long line depending on what time you're trying to return. There is a new border facility called PedWest which is making the process much speedier, and you can check the wait times online before you go: CBP Border Wait Times
Think of when most people are returning to the US from Tijuana; at rush hour and Sunday afternoons. If you avoid these times you won't have to wait very long. When I crossed recently at midday on a Sunday and on a Tuesday night I encountered no line whatsoever. Show your passport, answer the question "what were you doing in Tijuana", whatever other questions the border agent asks, and you'll be on your way! When you're back in the US of A you'll see where you had parked your car, it'll be a 2 minute walk away.
1. Spend a day at Albercas El Vergel Waterpark! (Open between March and October) : Forget what you may assume about a waterpark in Mexico. This park is the waterpark of your childhood dreams, the kind of park that may have existed in the USA before the 1980s when fear of lawsuits had all the fun slides and rides removed- the ones that were too fast, too jarring, that sent you flying through the air and landing hard on your butt, where the risk of a minor injury was high, but major fun was insured. You'll be laughing so hard that you'll barely notice that your body hurts. If you're not one for a bruised bottom you can hang out in the wave pool, the lazy river, or under a cabana drinking a michelaeda followed by a pina colada and a half dozen $2 tecates.
-To get here, take a taxi or Uber from your hotel. The ride is about 10 minutes and you'll feel like you're being driven to the middle of nowhere. Fear not, the waterpark is off the freeway in a sparsely inhabited area just south of the Tijuana airport.
-The park costs the equivalent of $5-$8 USD depending on the conversion rate. Bring USD or Mexican Pesos for your entrance, drinks and food.
-Bring your swimsuit, a towel, sunblock and maybe some sandals. They also sell all of this there if you forget something. There are attended lockers for rent where you can lock your stuff.
-The tortas (Mexican sandwiches) are delicious.
2. Eat and Drink!: Eating in Tijuana is delicious and affordable. If you're looking to eat at nicer restaurants, a popular area is the Centro gastronómico, out of downtown around the Marriott and Hyatt hotels. One of our favorite spots is Caesar's downtown on Ave Revolution, an old-timey upscale restaurant with photographs on the wall of Tijuana when the restaurant opened in the 1920s. Caesar's was where the Caesar salad originated, and they make an excellent caesar salad at your table while you watch.
Our new top favorite place to eat is Telefonica Gastro Park, a collection of food stalls and food trucks in a cosy outdoor area. Here you can eat artisan quesadillas, vegan tacos, Mexican fusion ramen, bbq, and delicious Mexican food made with a lot of care and very fresh ingredients. On our last weekend we ate dinner here twice and went back for breakfast before crossing the border.
Next time I'm in Tijuana I plan to check out Norte Brewing Company. This brewery is at the top of a parking structure off of Ave Revolution in downtown Tijuana and comes very highly recommended. Mamut is another recommended brewery.
3. Buy souveniers at Los Mercados Artesanias: This is the best place to buy Mexican blankets, ponchos, hats, ceramic Bart Simpson coin banks, and all sort of other colorful knick knacks. The prices are significantly lower than on Avenue Revolution, and the vendors are friendlier and more willing to haggle. This market is also cool because some shops are the workshops where the vendors are making the products they're selling.
This market is conveniently located right before the PedWest border crossing, so you can stop by on your way out of Tijuana.
4. Check out the Red Light District (...or not): There are a lot of strip clubs in Tijuana, and several of them are actual brothels. If this is something you are curious to see, go for it. Hong Kong is a crazy multi story club/brothel where there seems to be more dancers than there are customers on a busy weekend night. Be warned; things can get very raunchy here with sex shows and audience participation. If you're out in this area at night, be aware of your surroundings and belongings, stick together with your friends and try not to be loud and visibly intoxicated. On a recent trip one friend had her phone stolen and a couple of drunk friend were stopped and harassed by the police.
It has been recommended to go to Amnesia club if you want to go to a legit strip club that is not a skeezy brothel. I have not been, my interests when I visit Tijuana are limited to food and waterslides.

I didn't do a game recap the other day because I just wasn't in the mood, but it was an interesting game to watch. The Mariners of course won in 10 against the Chicago Cubs, in spite of our best efforts to commit as many errors as possible and look all-around unpolished and disinterested, but there were definitely a lot of bright moments, too. Nick Franklin did a dugout interview with Dave Sims that got a little out of control, and Ty Kelly hit the walk off to get the win. If you watch the video clip there, there are a myriad ways the expression on Kelly's face could be interpreted. It could be a look of nervousness, a look of confusion, or just wide-eyed determination helping him slap that ball down, but he probably walked away from that feeling pretty decent about himself and life in general. The M's beat the Diamondbacks in a televised game yesterday that I would have loved to have watched, but work destroys everything, alas.
So one Sunday last year, my friend Eric shot me a text and asked if I wanted to go to a game as his guest for a suite. Apparently there was an extra ticket, everything was already paid for for the most part, and Felix was pitching. Normally, I'm not a fan of what I call "indoor baseball". I won't, for instance, sit inside the Hit It Here unless I'm cold, hungry, or both. The suites are not technically inside, but they are a level of comfort I am neither used to nor require to watch baseball. I like my bleachers, I like feeling like I'm really outside. That said? This was a pleasant experience, though I pretty much did it wrong because I was too hungry to wait for the food that was going to come to us and instead went and got sushi. After seeing the food that was brought in eventually (if memory serves there was poached salmon and some sort of asparagus dish, with a bunch of other stuff I didn't even see because I was too busy watching the game on a full stomach), I am kind of kicking myself for not waiting, but perhaps there will be other chances.
The weather that day was really nice and warm, and we had shade and a breeze up on the deck there. There are worse ways to spend a Sunday.
Phil Niekro's Braves jersey was framed and hanging in our room. That is of course me in the reflection wearing my Player to be Named Later shirt and carrying a Hello Kitty bag because that is how I roll.
The great thing about the suites is that they are a really good vantage point from which to take on-field photos. The net around the backstop is still a bit of a pain, but it's always going to be if you're trying to take a photo from behind the plate. The suite level at least allows you to get a really good view of the mound.
Look at that weather! I'm sitting indoors right now at 5AM, and it is pouring down rain and a bit windy. We have had a few peeks into nicer weather this morning, I am just hoping the weather isn't doing the March/April psyche out where it starts snowing or is nothing but rain over the next few weeks. As it is, I am becoming a bit nervous about the weather during my trip, since it is my understanding that NYC got more snow the other day. If you haven't been already, feel free to follow me on Twitter, I will be posting pictures and observations as I travel. Like I said, this is a super big deal for me, so I'd like to share it with others.
Looking forward to tomorrow's 1PM game on ROOT! Have a great weekend, everyone!

When To Make A Will/
Dear Dr. Darcy:
My husband and I are in our mid 30's and are attending a wedding clear across the country in a few months. It's the first time we are going away without our kids. My question is (depressing and hard to even type) about a will and what info I need in creating a will and who I am supposed to leave my children to if/when something may happen to me and my spouse at the same time. It's been weighing on me, I push it out of my mind a lot and I am scared about it. Do I have to go to a lawyer or can we write one up ourselves? And how do we make these tough decisions? Hope you can help, thanks.
Great question. No one wants to talk about dying much less who they are going to leave their kids to. People's level of denial around this is mind-boggling considering we're all going to die at some point. Good for you for summoning up the strength to ask about it.
Given that you have children I would recommend that you not buy a Will at your local Staples and instead go directly to an attorney. You'll need one who is licensed in the state in which you reside. I'm happy to help by making a referral. I know far too many attorneys…
Now, on to the issue of who to leave the children to. This is tricky. You should not feel obligated to choose family members as guardians unless they are the best choice, and by best choice I mean that their values are in sync with your own. Will they honor your religious beliefs by raising your children in the religion (or absence thereof) that you've chosen for them? Will they raise your children with the same morals and beliefs (generally speaking) that you're trying to instill in them? I would encourage you to consider whether you'd want your children uprooted and relocated in the event that something happens to you…For me that would be a No-No. I think losing parents is traumatic enough without the children having to relocate, change schools, and leave their support systems. As a result, I'd assign guardians who lived in or close to my city, and ideally who were committed to keeping my children in the same school district.
Here's what you don't have to do: You don't have to announce to everyone who the guardians are (just make sure the guardians are OK with taking on the responsibility). You need to choose people (or a person) who you feel would do the job best – not the person who would scream the loudest if she found out she was passed over. You also can change the guardians at will (pun intended) and without notice. Relationships change. People change. Circumstances change. And guardians change.
Finally, you have to get life insurance. As you know, raising kids isn't cheap. Get yourself a life insurance policy and make the guardian(s) the beneficiary. Given how young you are, it'll be very inexpensive. I'm happy to make a referral for a life insurance broker as well. And in an effort to provide you with further support, I'd like you to email me when you've contacted an attorney to confirm that your Wills are being drawn up. Good for you. Now get to work!

Here's another post specially dedicated to the Birthday girls.
Happy Birthday to Siew Chin!
Why you sit like that? So not sopan santun at all.
The Birthday Girl with her slice of cake.
Luncheon at Teddy Bear Cafe.
Next was le BFF's Birthday - Princess of 1001 excuses.
Went up to KL for the weekend to celebrate her early Birthday (this was actually back in August). Yeap, this is an overdue post.
KM fetched me from TBS and along the entire journey, he actually hired someone to catch pokemon for him while he was driving.
*smack forehead*
I swear to God my weekend in KL was crazy!
I actually have to face all those pokemon freaks who proclaimed that they are the true pokemon Master.
Luckily I was not involved in these catching pokemon thingy game.
Basically everyone in KL were busy catching pokemon while eating, driving, walking, sleeping, bathing. Walao!
I see also stress lor!
Even Nicole also the same.
Anyway Happy Birthday babe.
Muah! I will still love you even when you ignored me for the sake of catching zubat despite having more than 20 useless zubats in your pokedex.
I will still love you even when I'm sitting beside you but you kept playing with your phone especially PokemonGo.
I will still love you even when you call me to visit you in KL and ajak lepak but you spent most of your time with your phone.
Despite all that, I LOVE YOU! SARANGHEYO!
Happy Birthday Female Ash Ketchum.
Let's not talk about KM.
He is far more extreme than Nicole Lee.
The reason why he is so kind to fetch me from TBS was just because he wanted to check out what type of pokemons are available at that area.
How not to sad you tell me? (broken english)
So our dinner plan was at 7pm in Mezze Bar & Bistro.
Both of us, KM and I decided to depart around 6.40pm. Knowing Nicole's timing always cannot pakai. When we were in the car, at about 6,55pm, KM told me to whatsapp Nicole telling her that we are reaching soon (but actually still far away).
Who knows Nicole reached on time wor!
Oh mai gawd! We cannot believe our eyes and ears and mouths.
For the very first time, princess is actually punctual. Wow that's amazing. Well maybe because she's already 90 years old, hence that's her new birthday resolution kot? To be punctual.
I still love you babe.
Main Course
Princess choice of the day
The kaki(s)
Her cake was sinfully delicious.

My mom's often mistaken for June Cleaver. Or a track star. In high school I'd come home from practice and find my friends around the table being fed some delicious treat. They didn't come to see me. Driving around town, she'd often stop the car to pick up someone else's trash that had blown in the street. Let's just say my propensity to start baking at 11pm or to clean my house using a patented four-step process comes from this woman who never stops. For a minute. So it didn't surprise me when she invented a marketing term. Let me explain. Friends of my parents have a son-in-law who's a doctor and he gave them a few pens. The pen was courtesy of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, maker of Levitra, a competitor to Viagra. And we all known what those drugs are for, right? They're for the well-known medical issue: E.D. It's not just a pen, though, it's marketing genius.
To see exactly why, you have to think about the product as you watch the video: Levitra Pen.
Turns out, this pen has been around for years. I found video as early as 2006 and commentary since then. So it's been making people talk for five years now.
And after we laughed and laughed (like five-year olds), I remarked to my mom what brilliant word-of-mouth marketing it was (you got the joke, right??). Here was a product we'd normally never talk about (she's really June Cleaver in that sense) and yet there we were talking (giggling) about it. My mom responded quickly with what she thought was just a comedic gem: "It's not really word-of-mouth marketing. It's word-of-motion marketing."
The thing is, as quick of a retort as my mom has, she's quick with almost everything she does. And she had a cogent point here. What gets people talking? Something to watch, movement. Viral content isn't just about words—something has to move us to watch it. And for us to watch it, something has to move. Motion means attention. Attention means sharing. And isn't that the point these days? Mom, I think you've just invented a new focus on marketing. It's all about the word-of-motion. Congrats mom. That's your term.

Tramaine Montell Ford is an exceptional actor, dancer, singer...let's just say he's talented.
In 2009, I found myself working with a particular circle of creative friends relatively often. In my mind and heart I always group together, Sage Suppa, Nikki Frangakis, Melisa Briener-Sanders, and Tramaine Montell Ford.
I met Tramaine on this day through Sage. Sage and Tramaine were friends at Syracuse University, studying acting together. They both made their way to NYC and Tramaine had put together The Tramaine Experience. Sage was helping him with the production which ran at Theatre Row on West 42nd in Manhattan. The Tramaine Experience is an urban dramedy that recounts Tramaine's experiences of growing up in the Cabrini Green projects just outside of Chicago, Illinois. It's part fact and part fiction with Tramaine hilariously impersonating and encapsulating four different characters that he once knew from the Cabrini Green neighborhood:
There was a homeless man, Jarvis Williams, the convenience store owner, Habib, the local gossip, Laquanda Jenkins, and lastly, the up and coming hip-hop artist, lady-killer, Pookie Washington.
Co-starring for the afternoon: Malaiyka Reid as Tramaine's girlfriend, Melissa Gibbs as Tramaine's mother and Nikki Frangakis Tramaine's cousin's parole officer.
I had the privilege, on this day, to photograph both a rehearsal and live performance of The Tramaine Experience. I would later have the honor of photographing a future Off-Broadway performance of The Tramaine Experience.

Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system back in 1926. The first lights using the system were designed by PH in cooperation with Louis Poulsen for an exhibition in Paris. This partnership continued right up until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create glare-free light, direct light where it was most needed, and create soft shadows, using incandescent bulbs as a light source. The PH 2/1 Pendant is a member of the three-shade family which numbers 18 lights today, including three for outdoor use. Thus PH did not just design a light, but an entire system – around a thousand different models have been produced over the years. This wide selection consisted of table, floor and wall lamps, as well as a number of different chandeliers, which were very popular in the 30s for lighting private homes from high ceilings. There were countless combination options. The lights were available in different colours, as well as a range of sizes. The first shades were made of metal with a painted underside, such as white, gold or silver – depending on whether diffuse, warm or cold light was desired. Glass was later introduced for the three-shade system. In addition to the downward-directed light, glass lamps illuminated the room. PH was the first person to pursue a scientific approach to light and use the logarithmic spiral as a basis. By using a design based on the logarithmic spiral he achieved even distribution of light over the entire curve of the shade. This even light distribution, together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, made it possible to control glare and shadow. Each shade reduces the amount of light equally, due to their distance from the light source. The PH 2/1 Pendant consists of an approximately 20 cm top shade, but uses lower shades from the 1/1 model. These 'hybrid' models were introduced due to the desire to hang the pendants at lower heights.
Shades: Mouth-blown white opal glass.
Suspension: High lustre chrome plated, spun aluminium.
High lustre chrome plated. White opal glass.
Suspension type: Cable 2x0,75mm². Canopy: Yes. Cable length: 3m.

Anti-Avoidance Rules: How is VAT reclaimed on 'capital expenditure goods'?
Input tax is accounted for in the calculation of the flat rate percentages. Therefore, no VAT is claimable if the supply is:
- more than one purchase and covered by individual invoices
- under £2,000 including VAT or
- of services.
Note: The construction of an extension is considered to be a supply of services and does not qualify as capital expenditure for the purposes of FRS.
However, under Regulation 55E of VAT Regulations 1995, a business that uses the flat rate scheme is able to reclaim the VAT it has been charged on a single purchase of capital expenditure goods, if that purchase is for £2,000 or more including VAT. The goods must have been bought for use in the business but should not be used up by it. For example, a van, a computer or bottling machine but not the fuel, printer paper or bottles that go with them. The definition of 'capital expenditure goods' also excludes goods bought to:
- resell
- incorporate into other goods for onward supply
- consume (or completely use) within one year
- generate business income by being leased, let or hired
- goods covered by the capital goods scheme
The decision at the VAT and Duties tribunal in the case of Eventful Management Limited (MAN/005/0797) demonstrated support for HMRC's policy relating to capital expenditure goods. In this case, the business purchased building materials from several suppliers, with invoices ranging from a few pounds to just under £1,000. A claim for input tax was submitted on the basis of 'capital goods expenditure'. The tribunal found that the purchases did not meet the requirements of Regulation 55E(1), as there was no single purchase made and dismissed the appeal.
For further details of capital expenditure goods in the flat rate scheme, see Notice 733 VAT Flat rate scheme for small businesses.

|Lord's Cricket Ground, St John's Wood
|A Flintoff
|Pakistan in British Isles 2006
DateLine: 15th July 2006
Andrew Flintoff was delighted with his "best workout yet" after a thorough net session at Lord's here Friday.
 The man England hope will captain them in their Ashes defence later this year in Australia, spent an hour in the nets at the Nursery End while his team-mates piled on the runs against Pakistan during the first Test.
 Ashes-winning all-rounder Flintoff, whose recovery from an ankle problem has so far seen him play two Twenty20 matches for Lancashire, was monitored by county physio Dave Roberts and Dr Peter Gregory, the England and Wales Cricket Board's chief medical officer.
 After a brief massage of his troublesome left ankle, which has sidelined him since the final Test against Sri Lanka six weeks ago, after bowling at a lively pace, he then batted against members of the Lord's groundstaff for 30 minutes.
 "I bowled six overs so it was my best workout yet and I'm not creaking or anything," said Flintoff, who is now due to feature for Lancashire in their County Championship match against Kent at Canterbury starting on Tuesday.
 "I've played two Twenty20 matches with Lancashire, bowled three overs and two overs so far, but I wasn't bowling at full pelt today - I've still got something else remaining to give.
 "I've had two tough days last week running up and down hills and it's all been building up towards bowling and geared towards playing at Canterbury on Tuesday."
 But Flintoff, who England hope will be their captain in the second Test at his Old Trafford home ground on July 27, warned: "I'm not going to get ahead of myself about my fitness for the second Test because I can't be sure until I've bowled in a four-day match.
 "This is all part of the recovery and the fitness work. I'm going to have another net and practice with the England lads again tomorrow (Saturday)."

PlotWatcher Success Stories
How has the PlotWatcher or PlotWatcher Pro changed the way you hunt? Let us know and we might include your PlotWatcher success story.
Randy from North Dakota
December 3, 2015
A friend recommended the PlotWatcher Pro to me this year for a new plot that I put in. I picked one up and put the unit in place and began to use it. I will admit that at first I was a little disappointed. I'm used to the image clarity of a traditional trail cam and I think my expectations were unrealistic.
After about a month I was completely on board. I started thinking of it as more of a data collector than just a camera. The data that I was getting was just as important as the pictures.
I have two other motion cameras in this area also. Sometimes I would have pictures but more often I would not. I would wonder if anything was coming in. When I would review the PlotWatcher, I would find out that I had deer in there pretty much everyday. As season got closer, I started seeing several bucks coming in. While it was difficult to estimate size from a distance, I knew they were coming in.
I am being serious here...if I had relied only on my traditional motion cameras, I would have probably spent more time hunting other areas. Knowing the data, I hunted almost entirely in this plot and I shot the biggest whitetail I've ever shot this year. Also, I had it set at 2 seconds and my batteries lasted 3 months. We had a warmer fall than usual but even still, that is way more than I expected.
Great job on this product and thanks! I will definately recommend this to my friends.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding NAF Off Citronella Spray for Horses, including answers from our team.
Can you use this spray for rabbit and guinea puff cages to keep flies away?
Rabbits and Guinea pigs tend not to like the smell of this product either. Keeping hutches as clean and fresh as possible is the best plan.Rabbits should be be fed a high fibre, low energy diet too, to make sure they do not get diarrhoea which attracts flies.
Can this be used on dogs as cant stop the bites?
Dogs seem to hate the smell of Citronella, so it is not a good product to use on them. Something like a Scalibor collar would make more sense, along with a good flea control product.

Laura is an independent artist working with dance and choreography in an expanded field. She is fascinated with the moving image and this is the fundamental reason that she performs, creates movement and makes film. The influence of form, structure and mark in contemporary painting, architecture and film emerge in her work, visual references guide her choreography from the moment of inception and these visual synchronicities are evident in the final work.
To date Laura's work explores social, political and environmental concepts for theatre, gallery and site-specific spaces, she uses performance as a tool to inspire critical thought and reflection on the contemporary world. Collaboration is an integral part of these creations through the integration of live sound, installation and visuals. Working in a multidisciplinary environment enables the formation of new landscapes and constructs providing a realm for her material to sway between narrative and abstraction.
As a dancer Laura has performed nationally and internationally in dance, theatre, experimental music, site-specific and opera works since graduating from LINK Dance Company in 2007. From 2009-2013 Laura performed for Buzz Dance Theatre. In 2013 she acted as Artistic Associate alongside Artistic Director Cadi McCarthy choreographing and co-directing Look the Other Way.
Laura has choreographed multiple short and full-length works and co-directed large commissions for dance companies such as LINK Dance Company, CO;3 Youth Ensemble, Buzz Dance Theatre and the WA Academy of Performing Arts. In late 2016 Laura premiered new work Dark Matter with multidisciplinary collective PRAXIS and Performing Lines WA at the 2016 MOVEME Festival. Dark Matter is currently shortlisted for an Australian Dance Award for Independent Dance..
Laura's films have been shown in Reeldance, Electrofringe, (Australia) Cinedans (Amsterdam) and two of her films remain permanently in the Reeldance Moving Image Collection.
2017 - Shortlisted - Australian Dance Award, Outstanding Achievement in Independent Dance Dark Matter - PRAXIS
2017 - Nominated - Performing Arts Awards WA, Choreography, Selkie
2016 - Most Outstanding Dancer (Dance Australia Critics Choice) for Sous Vide presented at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (2015)

LION TotalCare
LION TOTALCARE GETS MEMPHIS FIRE SAFETY DOGS AT THE FIRE MUSEUM OF MEMPHIS GEARED UP & READY FOR ACTION! On March 31st, the Fire Museum of Memphis hosted a very special presentation as safety dogs, Astro, Izzy, and Lottie Dot received their very own personalized LION turnout coats.
The fire coats were custom made by members of the Memphis LION TotalCare team, who provide cleaning, repair and maintenance on the Memphis Fire Department's turnout gear. The specially-designed coats took weeks to develop and more than 12 hours each to sew. "It is more child-friendly for a dog to have fireman's turnout gear on," explained LION TotalCare seamstress, Naja Burchett. "They will understand more about the fire department, how they work and all the good things they do." The friendly Dalmation trio are part of the Memphis Fire and Life Safety Dogs program and work with Fire Museum of Memphis to teach Shelby County Schools students the importance of "Stop, Drop, and Roll" and "Get Low and Go," by demonstrating to the students exactly what they should do!

Lunch with Laura Lea: Dairy, Soy & Gluten Free Snacks
I recently stumbled upon the awesome Instagram of Laura Lea Goldberg, a certified holistic chef in Nashville. Her Instagram account is one of my favorites because of her stories where she speaks the truth and shares snacks and recipes all day! She's just so cute, kind and genuine. I reached out to her asking a few questions about my breastfeeding dietary restrictions. For those of you who don't know, I've had to cut out dairy, gluten and soy to breastfeed Jonas because he was having negative reactions. This is a difficult adjustment for someone who doesn't like cooking and whose favorite food group is pizza. All of this to say, she was kind enough to grab lunch with me at Sunflower Cafe (which was so so yum). We instantly connected and I just love this girl's heart. For those of you looking to eat a cleaner diet or mamas in the same boat as me, she also gave me some snack options for days I'm running around or don't have time to cook every meal. I've shared them below...
1) RX bars - these have been my absolute favorite. The Chocolate Sea Salt flavor is amazing.
2) Health Warrior Bars - really great snack option if you're not want something quite as filling as a RX Bar. Peanut Butter Cacao has been my favorite flavor.
4) Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers (just make sure to get a non-cheese flavor) with hummus. These are amazing and Jonas loves them too. I can't pull them out without him wanting to share.
5) Siete Foods Chips with guac or salsa. I've posted about these on my Instagram story before...obsessed. The Nacho flavor is so so good.
6) Jackson's Chips with chicken salad. So good! The Sea Salt & Vinegar flavor is so good I can eat an entire bag in one sitting (oops).
7) Epic Grass-fed Uncured Apple Bacon bars - it's bacon bars, of course they're amazing.
8) Forager Cashew Yogurt with Apples - my life has changed since the discovery of Cashewgurt. It's so dang good.
9) Banana and Justin's Individual Nut Butter packets
10) Hard boiled egg covered in Old Bay seasoning
I've tried all of these and they are so good and much better than the trail mix and fruit diet I had been eating. If you're looking for more food inspiration, she also has a killer blog where she regularly shares healthy, easy and delicious recipes. Also, I'm so proud of her because she recently released a full blown cookbook! I just bought a copy and am so excited to try some of her recipes.
Would love to hear your thoughts if you try any of the snack recomendations or if you have any tips of your own!

Coal and Steel were what divided France and Germany. Both wanted it, both had some of it, but not enough for either one. Therefore, among other things, they fought over Alsace-Lorraine, a region rich in the coal needed to produce steel. An ancient enmity realized in multiple wars cost countless lives. Through these wars, the main engines of Europe exhausted themselves. They could no longer maintain the capacity to fight. They simply ran out of people, resources, and the will to continue dying for simple material resources. Instead, along with Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy, they created the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a means by which to share these precious resources, building off of their shared capacity to build their respective economies. Once they started sharing these resources, and building their economies back up after the utter destruction of the two world wars, they realized the more they integrated their economies, the better they would all do. This wasn't hope, it was proven fact. Through a long process the ECSC turned into the European Economic Community, then the European Community, and most recently, the European Union. From the humble start of a single authority for Coal and Steel, eventually the countries of Europe were able to create a better life and future for all their citizens by unifying their economies. They hit hurdles in terms of creating a unified banking system to support a common currency, a unified political system, and a unified foreign policy, and it was these hurdles which sowed the seeds of disenchantment with the European experiment in the minds of some within its borders.
The last one, the foreign policy, is where I came in. In 1997 I began my study abroad in Belgium to learn about the European Union, to understand its history, institutions, and potential promise for humanity. I became a fan of May 9 (Europe Day), the European Anthem, and Robert Schuman (some call him the father of Europe). I love the idea of subsidiarity, where decisions are made at the lowest-most appropriate level, and was enamored by the idea of proliferating the ideals of the European Union to other parts of the world. I have not lost this intent. In fact, as the EU struggles under the pressure of inequality, where the benefits of integration went to the upper classes at the expense of everyone else, we can realize the lessons from this integration to create even more powerful supranational institutions for the benefit of humanity in all parts of the world.
In 2000, I launched my Fulbright, studying how NATO and the EU could work together for the security of the Trans-Atlantic Community, and the world. As I witness our current president pulling away from our allies, and the EU's challenges with Brexit, I can't help but feel both saddened by what's becoming of the inexpensive Russian influence operations to destabilize the United States, the UK, NATO, and the EU. At the same time, I can see the seeds of the EU still flourishing, and want to bring these back to Europe, take them abroad, and show the world how we can all prosper from opening our economies, our borders, and our economic systems to each other, hopefully without the need to go to war first.
Today I look out and see the need for a decision by all currently in power. Will we let our world descend into the chaos of another war, led by the powers of illiberalism on one side, and those remaining to support the rule of law, economic integration, and individual freedom, on the other? I do not want to see this war, but it really looks like it's coming.
Whether or not we end up in another world war, what happens after is what offers me, and humanity, hope. If some collection of us survive, we will need each other more than ever to solve shared problems. We will need to be focused on results, rather than philosophies, enmities, and histories, in order to improve our lives. We will be able to learn from the past to ensure we distribute the benefits of integration to all in society, rather than those only at the top. We will know where some of the landmines are (ensuring we minimize the wealth gap), so we can avoid them in our effort to rebuild, renew, and rise again as a prosperous society in which children can once again have the promise fulfilled of having better lives than their parents. We can have this worldwide, and I look forward to helping bring it to reality. Who would like to help?

At Home With: Jordan Bourke & Rejina Pjo
Originally published on food52.com
Chicken and potato stew with honey, garlic and chilies; battered cod and courgette with soy and vinegar dipping sauce; pine nut and rice porridge; shaved ice with sweet red beans and vanilla ice cream. These are the kinds of bold, generous flavours Jordan Bourke and Rejina Pyo are bringing to London.
Our Korean Kitchen, their first cookbook, is the first of its kind in Europe. Curiously, Korean food has remained something of a mystery in the UK. We have very few quality Korean restaurants, and the typical home cook - well versed in the methods of Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese cooking - rarely reaches for a Korean recipe to try out. There are few stones left unturned in the culinary world here, but Jordan and Jina have found one. And it is their favourite food in the world.
We are sitting in the couple's North London kitchen, the smell of sesame oil filling the air as Jordan gets to work on lunch. There are little echoes of Korea all over the kitchen in plates and bowls they have picked up on their travels, Korean products stacked on the shelves and the Korean labels that Jina has stuck on to every piece of apparatus. Jordan is brushing up on his reading skills.
Jordan Bourke grew up in Ireland. After training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, he went straight into the kitchens of Petersham Nurseries, Skye Gyngell's Michelin starred seasonal oasis. Since then, he has published two cookbooks, The Guilt Free Gourmet andThe Natural Food Kitchen, which was shortlisted for a Guild of Food Writers Award. His work has appeared in national and international publications like Vogue, The Times, Elle and BBC Good Food, and he has appeared on culinary shows for the BBC, Channel 4 and Fox International. But it is his work unearthing the delights of the Korean cuisine that has made him one of the most recognisable names on the British food scene lately.
Jordan's love affair with Korean food began with another love affair. He first met Rejina Pyo, a Seoul-born fashion designer, in a "really bad" bar in central London. Shortly after they met, Jordan moved to New York City and the pair didn't see each other again until Jordan's return a year later. In 2011, they wed in Ireland. Then again in Seoul in 2012. It was through Jina that Jordan discovered true Korean food. "I could cook him whatever I wanted at the beginning, and he would find it amazing! So it was easy for me!" Jina jokes.
"I remember her cooking me this traditional sweet potato noodle dish on one of our first dates, and I just fell in love with it." Jordan remembers. "I didn't know a lot about Korean food. It was such a learning curve."
Jordan began accompanying Jina on her trips back to Seoul, joining her mother in the kitchen as she cooked traditional family recipes. He wanted to learn every inch of this cuisine, which had been a mystery to him for so long. "It was hard for Jordan to learn from my mum in some ways. She doesn't speak English, but they bonded over cooking." Jina tells us. "Korean people grow up around home cooking, so it's a natural thing to them. They all know how to do it. It's purely instinctual, which is a problem for anyone who wants to learn! Jordan was trying to learn from my mum and she had no idea what measurements she used. She's never used a measuring spoon or a weighing scale to cook with." "I had to just watch and learn!" Jordan laughs.
After learning the ways of the Korean Kitchen, Jordan worked in a few restaurants, and learned the nuances of traditional recipes from locals. After returning to England, despairing at the lack of authentic Korean food, Jordan and Jina began hosting pop ups, supper clubs and cooking demos. Seeing the reaction, they started drawing up the first drafts of Our Korean Kitchen.
"The food in Korea is so incredibly good." Jordan tells us. "We'd come back here and try to find some, and it was just always so poor. That's part of the reason we wanted to start this, to show people the proper flavours of home cooked Korean food."
The book blends Jina's culinary heritage and Jordan's classical training. The recipes are "traditional and authentic." Jordan explains. "It's really just our version of dishes. Which was kind of a fusion. We knew we had to do something traditional, and reflect the real food of Korea." "Practically every recipe in that book is a traditional Korean recipe." He continues. "They have hundreds and hundreds of recipes that are totally unique to Korea."
Jordan and Jina's project has come at a time of growing curiosity towards Korean culture in the UK. Along with the rise of K-Pop (Korean pop music) and K Drama (Korean tv shows), Korea's complex, vibrant cuisine is being exposed more than ever before. "Every friend I take to Korea is amazed that they've never tried the food before." Jina says. "They all want to make it at home but have no idea how. The dishes are so simple, but when the ingredients are so unfamiliar it can take a little push to get people trying to make it themselves. That's why we wanted to do the book."
We sit down at the table for lunch; bibimbap with a tableful of toppings. Juicy marinated beef, cucumber, daikon radish, shiitake mushrooms and a sunny yellow egg sat upon a bouncy bed of white rice. With this, Jordan and Jina offer us baby anchovies, tiny pieces of dried squid, mushrooms marinated with soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil, pickled garlic and the most potent, warming, kimchi we've ever tried. "Koreans would make all of these extra bits, and they last for months." Jordan explains as we dip in to each little bowl. "They'll make a quick rice or soup and they get out all of these fermented or preserved foods and suddenly it looks like a feast! The tables there just groan with food. It's very resourceful cooking."
"When it comes to food, Koreans really take care of others." Jina says, mingling the ingredients together before filling our bowls. "When you're eating in a group at the table, everyone looks after each other."
"That was the biggest shock for me, going there as a westerner for the first time." Jordan agrees. "Around the table, everyone is looking after another person. Instead of everyone helping themselves, they help each other. And then when you look back at your plate, it is full."
"You know how in England we say "How are you?" when we greet someone?" Jina says. "In Korea, we say, "Have you eaten?""
Our Korean Kitchen's success is largely down to people's pleasant surprise. Korean food is often represented as heavy, oily and meat-focused. Which is far from the truth. "I think people are totally surprised by the flavours." Jordan explains. "They expect it to be very dense and fried. And then they discover that it is predominantly vegetables with a little bit of meat."
Jordan and Jina come from two very different countries. Their upbringings were different, and so were their surroundings. But one thing they shared in those early years were homes filled with cooking. "We always liked really good food in my family." Jina says. "It just brings so much pleasure. Korea is quite a macho, conservative country, but my dad really enjoys cooking, which is quite unusual for his generation." Over in Ireland, Jordan's household revolved around his mother's home cooking. "She was quite an unusual cook for the time." He remarks. "Food was always massive in my house growing up. We'd be doing our homework at the kitchen table and mum would be making dinner. We were witness to so much cooking, we just took it all in. We learned by osmosis."
Jordan and Jina still continue to pursue their respective passions. Jina's fashion label is going from strength to strength, and Jordan continues to contribute his cooking to national and international publications, as well as lending his talents as a food stylist to other cookbooks. But together, the two have their sights set on challenging the perceptions of Korean food in the UK, and showing us all the colour, flavour and passion we have been missing all this time.
"There is a love in the food in Korea." Jordan says. "Whether it's your mother or father cooking for you, or the school dinner ladies, there is just a love that goes in to the making of the food. You can literally taste it. There's so much thought in the food. They are very present when they're cooking. It's not just feeding people, there's respect and affection for food there."
Jina smiles and adds, "My mum always says that. She says the last ingredient in all her cooking is love."

2009, Dr Michael Barnett, and colleagues Professor Prineas and Dr Ben Crossett,
of the University of Sydney, were awarded a $278,000 project grant from the
Trish Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation.
Prineas has received international acclaim and several major awards for his lifetime
of achievements in MS research including in 2009, the MS International
Federation's highest accolade, the Charcot Award. Together with clinician
researcher Dr Barnett and proteomics specialist Dr Crossett, the team makes a
formidable force for progress in MS research.
the cause of MS remains unknown, we do know that an autoimmune response plays
an important role in disease development.
Autoimmune responses carried out by inflammatory immune cells from the
blood are generally accepted to initiate the cascade of events that lead to an
MS lesion in the brain or spinal cord.
in 2008, Professor Prineas and his colleagues, sent significant ripples through
the MS research community with their discovery of evidence for sick and dying
brain cells that preceded the influx of inflammatory immune cells from the
blood. Instead, this early damage is accompanied by activation of the local
'house-keeping' microglial cells that clean up damaged cells.
order to pursue this unprecedented new avenue in MS research the team has set
their sights on identifying the earliest triggers for this damage to myelin. To
do this they have turned to high powered 'proteomics' technology.
is the study of all the proteins that are activated and deactivated, in a
particular biological situation and can amount to studying 1000s of proteins in
one go.
An important and vital step in this project has been the development and
refinement of an exciting method to extract proteins from preserved brain
tissue, specifically targeting areas within MS lesions. Dr Barnett has painstakingly developed this
highly complex, multi-step new technique. The technique, which will be of use
to MS researchers worldwide and has been presented at 4 international meetings
including PACTRIMS (Hong Kong 2009) and the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO)
world annual congress (Sydney, 2010).
this technique with Dr Crossett's proteomics expertise has lead the team to
identify over 80 unique proteins in tissue from MS lesions compared to tissue
from people with no neurological disease.
This is the first crucial step in a huge undertaking as these proteins
must now be individually characterised and studied.
work has been recently submitted for publication to the Journal of Proteome
Research. It is anticipated that the
identification of the proteins involved in the earliest stages of MS lesions
will help provide clues to the causes of MS and may lead to targeted and more
effective treatments.

Recently, I was contracted by Ulta Beauty to share some of the ways I would style their nail polish. This dark denim color was really nice. I usually wear lighter colors, but I just loved how the dark indigo color complimented most of my clothing. It looked great with different shades of brown, especially leather. I was also offered a complimentary hair appointment to test out one of their new hair color services for Fall. The hair trend is bronde, and I like it a lot! It is a nice mix of brown and blonde, and my stylist made it look so natural! I am very happy with the results.
I hadn't colored my hair in about ten years, and I knew they were trustworthy enough to make my hair look natural, but elevated.

You or a loved one may recall having a pension benefit but didn't claim it or lost track of it.
There are a couple of resources to help you, or you help your loved one, track it down.
The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) has a tool on their site to find an unclaimed pension. The site includes help if you do, or don't, find it. The site also has links to additional resources for help.
If you need help with a pension, Pension Help America may be a resource for you too.
Yes, pension coverage for private workers have gone down – which has lead to some unclaimed pensions by people over the years who forgot about having eligibility at one time, because of either changing employers from one who had pension coverage to one that didn't; or the employer themselves changing from defined benefit retirement plans (pensions) to a defined contribution plan (commonly called 401k). Fortunately, there are resources to help find out about pensions one, or a loved one, may be eligible for. Happy hunting!

I headed out to First Fridays at Abbot Kinney in Venice, Ca. with a few gal pals. Various food trucks, about 50, gathered for all of us truck chasers. With all of the tasty options, it was hard to settle on just one (especially since all of the lines are extremely long). We chose the Street Kitchen truck. It was almost an hour wait, but it was worth the wait. I got the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla! It does not look all that appealing in the photo below, but it was delicious.
Here are some random photos that I snapped while there:

One of the largest firms on Wall Street may be entering the cryptocurrency market in the not too distant future. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., is widely regarded as one of the largest firms on Wall Street, and the group recently started a trading deal that will deal with cryptocurrency markets such as bitcoin. The bank has the goal of getting this project on the move as soon as June of 2018, if not earlier.

This move by the large bank makes it the first of the Wall Street giants to enter the cryptocurrency world. Given that the market on digital money is something with extreme amounts of volatility and uncertainty, many of the big firms on Wall Street have yet to get involved, and for good reason. With several big names across the world economy getting involved, it seems like the right time. CME recently announced a new product that will sell futures contracts for bitcoin, something that the market has yet to see from such a large company. The issue stems from the fact that the history of cryptocurrency is plagued with criminality and delegitimization.

Many firms have yet to enter the market given the regulatory measures that have yet to be in place. On the individual level, a lack of regulation is something that is often positive, but these large companies usually cannot be involved given their federal status. Goldman Sachs is working on putting together a team that would build out the infrastructure for this new sector of their business. One issue they have run into is the idea of where to place their business within the market. The broad nature of the cryptocurrency market means that there are many ways to make money, and this could potentially prove to be an issue for the large firm.

Venue: Finca Altozano
Valle de Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico
Death For Food, a conceptual photography project initiated in Portland, was looking to host its first exhibition in the region. In summer 2014, Set & Drift joined forces with DFF founder/photographer Jaime Fritsch to assist with the event. The project embodies a philosophy of sustainability, documenting sustainable agriculture and responsible consumption.
This Baja installment, developed with acclaimed chef Javier Plascencia (Finca Altozano, Mision 19, Jazamango), brought an experiential photography exhibition to a six-course dinner at Plascencia's ranch restaurant, Finca Altozano. The event included a meal cooked in the vineyards for 60 guests by Chef Plascencia, and paired with wines from holistic Valle de Guadalupe winery El Mogor and special release beers by San Diego's Monkey Paw Brewery. Featured speakers led a discussion about responsible consumption, including founder/photographer Jaime Fritsch, author/San Diego Magazine food writer Troy Johnson, and holistic Baja rancher Pablo Rojas.
Set & Drift collaborated with Tijuana based architect Manuel Martinez to develop a conceptual exhibition structure for the event. A tunnel form built with materials from the local ranches, the structure housed the photography exhibit and served as an interactive, meditative space for the dinner guests.

This article or section's title is a callsign, an alias, or a nickname, as no proper name for the subject has been revealed. You can help by adding it if it is now known.
Though not an official name, the Brute Landmine can be seen on Halo 3's multiplayer map Sandtrap.
The Brute land mines are a defensive security measure designed by unknown forces (presumably by the Covenant) to eliminate individuals that trespass beyond the map's border. When an individual goes a certain distance beyond this border, these mines will automatically eject themselves from their buried position, rising vertically about two to three meters above the ground, and detonate in a manner similar to a UNSC fragmentation grenade.
Since the mines are designed to explode above a target, they can shower the crews of vehicles like the Mongoose or Prowler, or infantry who venture into the minefield, with explosive debris. The mines are less effective against aerial targets (due to the fact that the mines can only reach and explode a relatively short height above the ground) unless the player is flying relatively low to the ground. The mines can injure players even with invincibility turned on, when shielding inside a Bubble Shield or behind a Deployable Cover, similar to the Automated Plasma Turrets in Snowbound.
The visual design of the Brute Land Mine looks very similar to a larger version of the Jiralhanae spike grenade, though without the handle or the three spikes on the top edges.
- The landmine bears similarities to the WWII-era S-mine, more commonly known as the "Bouncing Betty."
- Overloading the map will remove the landmines from the match and prevent them from spawning by the player.
- When a player is killed by one of these, it will say the player has been killed by the guardians.
