I am convinced that there are two camps of kugel followers – those who favor potato and those who favor noodles. Jerusalem Kugel is for lovers of a savory sweet noodle pudding and I am firmly in this camp.
In actuality there are many different types of kugel even within these two camps. A kugel can be sweet or savory, or, as in this case – both. So what is a kugel anyway? It is a baked "pudding" originating with Jews from Eastern Europe and Germany that is traditionally served on Friday nights (Shabbat) and holidays. It can be eaten hot, cold or at room temperature and is especially wonderful as an accompaniment to brisket and roast chicken. I have been known to even eat it for breakfast on Shabbat morning….
Jerusalem or Yerushalmi Kugel is a specialty of Haredi Jews from the Mea She'arim neighborhood. Think Shtisel, that international phenomenon depicting a close knit community of ultra-Orthodox Jews. The kugel is sweet with a peppery bite that is irresistible. Most recipes don't vary much, but there are small subtleties. The trick to a perfect Jerusalem Kugel is in caramelizing the sugar in the oil. You want to go just far enough to get a really good caramelization but no so far that you burn the sugar. It happens, though. If so, there is no saving it, so throw it out and start again. Once you have done it right once, the rest is a snap.
Some variations add caramelized onions, but I like mine without, which is the most common version. I put pudding in quotes because it isn't a pudding in the sense that most people (Americans especially) think of. The finished result is solid and there is no dairy or dairy substitute – just eggs. And because it is meant to be eaten following the laws of kashrut, oil is used in place of butter.
Make sure that you use a big pot to caramelize your sugar and oil. When the noodles are added it can spatter and sugar burns are just the worst. I know. There is no special pan needed for the baking and you can use a square, rectangular or round pan. I have made it in a bundt (tube) pan which produces a very pretty finished product. This time I used an 8-inch spring-form pan. The smaller the pan, the higher the kugel. If you don't have an 8-inch round pan, use a 9-inch. Your finished product will be a little thinner but just as delicious.
I used 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, but I have seen recipes with as little as 1/2 teaspoon and as much as 2 teaspoons. It all depends on your tolerance. Same goes for the amount of sugar. The proportions below make what I believe is the perfect balance between sweet and savory.
For another wonderful noodle kugel try my Apple Cinnamon Noodle Kugel.
Yield: 8 Servings
1 pound (16 ounces) thin egg noodles (The thinner the better for the ultimate crust on the outside.)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup neutral oil such as Canola
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or more, to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt it well as you would for cooking any pasta. Cook the noodles to al dente according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside. My noodles said to cook for 4 minutes, so I did 3 minutes. Remember, they will bake in the oven.
Add the sugar and oil to a large pot on medium heat. Just stir the sugar through the oil and then don't touch it. As the sugar melts, it will start to turn a lovely dark amber color. You need to watch this because nothing happens, nothing happens and then – boom, it's too late. Once the sugar burns, it becomes bitter and is unusable.
As soon as the sugar gets to the right color, remove the pot from the heat and add the noodles. Don't worry if they got a bit sticky. They will separate as you stir them through the sugar/oil mixture. I like to use either a wooden spoon or tongs for this. If the sugar hardened in a few spots, don't worry. It will melt again in the oven.
Now mix through the salt and pepper. Allow the noodles to cool for about 5 minutes. In the meantime, lightly beat the eggs to break them up. Now add them to the noodles and stir through. If you added the eggs too soon to the hot mixture, the eggs might scramble which is not what you want.
Pour the mixture into a greased pan of your choosing and smooth out the top. Bake for one hour. The finished product should be a really rich brown and the noodles should look somewhat crisped. Allow to cool slightly and then it can be removed from the pan if using hot. The kugel will cut most easily if allowed to cool to room temperature, which is how I like my kugel.

HEAT oven to 375°F. BEAT egg whites and cream of tartar in mixer bowl with whisk attachment on high speed until foamy. Beating constantly, ADD granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating after each addition until sugar is dissolved before adding the next. (Rub a bit of mixture between thumb and forefinger; it should feel completely smooth.) Continue beating until whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks. BEAT IN vanilla and almond extract, if desired.
SIFT powdered sugar, flour and salt together twice. SIFT about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture over egg whites. FOLD gently just until flour disappears. Do not stir. REPEAT sifting and folding in flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time.
POUR batter into ungreased 10 x 4-inch tube pan. Gently CUT THROUGH batter with metal spatula to release any air pockets. BAKE in center of 375°F oven until top springs back when lightly tapped with finger, 30 to 40 minutes. INVERT cake in pan, with tube resting on a bottle. COOL completely, about 1-1/2 hours.
Keep the yolks separate from the whites. Fat from egg yolk will prevent egg whites from beating up properly. When separating eggs, take care that no yolk gets in the whites. To avoid an accident, separate each egg white into a cup or small bowl before transferring it to the mixer bowl. Discard any white that has even a speck of yolk in it.
Egg temperature: It's easiest to separate eggs cleanly when they are refrigerator cold. However egg whites whip up to greater volume when they've had a chance to warm up a bit, 20 to 30 minutes. Always begin by separating the eggs. Let the whites stand at room temperature while you prepare the baking pan, equipment and other ingredients.
Add sugar gradually. For optimum volume and smoothest texture, sugar should be added gradually, beginning only after the whites have been beaten to the foamy stage (about double in volume). Adding some or all of the sugar before beginning to beat will result in less volume.
To check if sugar is dissolved: After each addition, whites should be beaten until sugar has dissolved before adding more. To test, rub a bit of egg white between thumb and forefinger. If sugar is dissolved, it will feel completely smooth. If it feels grainy or sandy, continue beating.
Inverting the pan to cool the cake: The delicate angel cake structure is a bit unstable when still hot. It is likely to fall if cooled upright. Inverting gives the cake time to firm up as it cools.
Elevating the pan to cool the cake: This provides air circulation all around the cake, allowing it cool more quickly, without getting soggy. The traditional angel cake tube pan has little feet to elevate the cake about an inch for just this reason. Raising it higher would be even better. Slipping the tube of the pan over the neck of a bottle and letting the cake rest there to cool is one suggested method. Other suggestions include supporting the inverted pan on a large inverted funnel or on four evenly placed glasses.
To remove cake from pan: Run a thin knife between side of pan and cooled cake to loosen all around, taking care not to tear the cake. Repeat, running knife between center tube and cake. The traditional angel cake pan has a removable bottom. Lift the cake out of the pan by the tube, slide the knife between cake and pan bottom to free it and invert it onto wire rack or plate. If pan does not have a removable bottom, invert pan after sides of cake have been loosened; tap pan on countertop and gently shake cake from pan.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.

Bard has announced the presentation of the final 24-month results from the Lutonix Global Real-World Registry at the Vascular Intervention Advances (VIVA) 2016 meeting (18–22 September, Las Vegas, USA).
These results are the first reported final 24-month outcomes for "real-word" registry data for drug-coated balloon percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters. The registry includes a subgroup of patients with long femoropopliteal lesions (>140mm) treated with the Lutonix 035 drug-coated balloon. A premarket approval supplement for use in this subgroup population is currently under review with the US Food and Drug Administration.
In this registry study, the Lutonix 035 demonstrated a freedom from target lesion revascularisation at 24 months by Kaplan-Meier time-to-event analysis of 90.3% for the overall study population of 527 patients and 89.4% for the long lesion (>140mm) subgroup of 106 patients.
James Benenati, medical director of the Peripheral Vascular Laboratory at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, USA, commented, "These 24-month outcomes show the therapeutic durability and safety of the Lutonix drug-coated balloon in challenging real-world patients with complex femoropopliteal artery lesions."
Timothy M Ring, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "The Lutonix Global Registry continues to generate strong real-world evidence, confirming the sustained effectiveness of the Lutonix drug-coated balloon, which provides clinicians with an alternative to treat patients who have peripheral artery disease in femoropopliteal arteries."

Colson Canyon Vineyard is located just northwest of the Santa Maria AVA high in the mountains of Tepesquet Canyon. It is planted to 7.97 acres of vines with elevations reaching 1299 feet.
Margerum Wine Company has been sourcing grapes from this vineyard since 2001. The 2012 is a 50/50 blend of Syrah (clone 7) and Syrah (clone 877) from this impeccably manicured estate owned and farmed by Reo Reiswig.
The warm days and cool nights of Colson Canyon always produce concentrated, fruit-forward wines rich in notes of blackberries, jammy black fruits, graphite and violets. This vintage also shows hints of plums that bring in an extra layer of complexity.
Vineyard Region: Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County AVA
Vintage Conditions: The 2013 vintage is going to go down as a great one. Following a dry winter, there was early bud break and a large fruit set. The growing season was even and warm, flowing into a moderate, dry fall. The standout characteristic for 2013 wines: complete ripeness without high sugar levels. The wines are powerful and concentrated. The worry in Santa Barbara is about the drought. The lack of rainfall has positive quality implications, but we need winter rains to recharge our aquifers and cleanse our soils.
Maturation: This wine was matured for 20 months in 50% new Françoise Frères and Ermitage French oak barriques and was never racked until bottled.
Color: Crimson purple, dense, rich
Aroma: Cooked sausage, cocoa and berry fruits create a pheromone indicative of Colson Canyon Vineyard. As the wine opens there are layers of charcuterie, raw meats and country brush. Classic "old world" aromas that make this a very special wine.
Palate: Full bodied and refined, rich, blueberry and dried fruits. Concentrated juicy mid palate encompassed by cola and sweet fruit. Dusty tannins complete the framework. The density, texture and depth of this wine are a testament to the quality of the vineyard. The finish is long and lingering with appealing notes coffee and vanilla. Drink this wine now or age it up to ten years.
Alcohol: 14.5%
pH 3.53

Targeted killing
A conceivable scenario: a truck approaches a village near the Pakistani-Afghan border. At the village, the weekly market is being held, attracting people from the entire region. Two men are sitting in the truck. Secret service experts at the American command central affirm that the men are Taliban fighters and that they are carrying a couple hundred kilograms of explosives on their truck. Information from satellite pictures, contacts on the ground, routine movement patterns and pictures taken by the Predator drone circling overhead all conclude that the truck is a moving bomb. It is supposed to explode very soon at the market. There is only one way to stop the bloodbath: to fire the drone's Hellfire rockets at the truck.
Deadly cost-benefit calculation
Between June 2004 and September 2012, employees of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the US military opted for a drone attack 344 times - 52 times under President Bush and 292 times under President Barack Obama. The decision is based on a seemingly straight forward cost-benefit calculation: The death of two Taliban insurgents is weighed against the possible death of dozens of civilians in a terrorist attack.
Yet the situations are nearly as never cut and dry as the scenario described above. It is difficult to determine whether or not the drone attack will take civilian lives.
Up to September 2012, between 2,562 and 3,325 people were killed in Pakistan alone in drone attacks. The Bureau for Investigative Journalism, an NGO, estimates that there were between 474 - 881 civilian casualties in those attacks. The large variation in the estimate is due to the fact that US government does not comment on drone attacks. The NGO has to rely on media reports and eyewitness accounts for information.
Increase in drone attacks
The figures show that the number of killings carried out by drone attacks has markedly risen in the past few years. In 2011, the US used drones in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and Mexico to collect information, and kill criminals, terrorists and combatants. At the moment, the White House is considering deploying them to Mali. But it is not only the US, but also Israel, Great Britain and Russia which use armed drones to protect their security interests.
The technological innovation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has made them a preferred choice in war strategies in the 21st century. Security expert Armin Krishnan in an essay titled "Gezielte Tötung" (targeted killing) writes that Predator drones have revolutionized the way war is carried out.
Pro and contra
Proponents of targeted killing say drones are favorable in combat because they do not take as many civilian lives as in conventional wars. Krishnan summarizes the pro-argument, writing war becomes more just and moral if it only concentrates on "those responsible."
Those opposed to drones, however, compare targeted killing to extrajudicial and state-sanctioned murder. They challenge the notion that targeted killing takes place in the context of war; the US and Pakistan, for example, are not at war with each other.
That is a crucial point in international law. In the case of war, the victims are combatants, the killing of whom can be justified under laws of war.
But if aggressors and victims are not at war, targeted killing is, technically speaking, illegal. That is, of course, unless the person or people killed posed an immediate danger to others - like a fatal shot fired by police at a hostage taker to save the lives of the hostages.
Incidents like that, however, are not the norm in the drone war in Pakistan, as explained in the report "Living under Drones," written in cooperation by the Stanford Law faculty and the New York School of Law and published in September 2012.
The authors of the report criticize the US government's rigid policy regarding media coverage and say that it makes a comprehensive legal overview of the situation virtually impossible.
"The US is not fulfilling its international legal obligations, namely to create transparency and account for its actions." According to Krishnan, these are the legal problems the use of armed drones poses. "Individuals are sentenced to death without a trial and on secret evidence and in secret proceedings."
Playing into the hands of terrorists
To add to that, critics say that ringleaders are only seldomly killed and civilians, on the other hand, too often.
"Drone attacks have considerably worsened the threat of terrorism in Pakistan. The military effectiveness of targeted killing is highly questionable," according to Krishnan.
So why do countries such as the US continue to use drones?
Krishnan outlined one main argument: under Bush, the US government tended to kidnap terror suspects and take them to Guantanamo or third countries, where they would be held for years - and in some cases, tortured - without a trial. Under President Obama, the US has started, according to Krishnan, to "kill terrorists throughout the world instead of locking them up."

City chowk has been named Bharat Mata chowk by Jammu Municipal Corporation. (Photo Credit: Twitter)
New Delhi:
The historic City Chowk, the commercial hub in old Jammu, was renamed as 'Bharat Mata Chowk' following the passage of a resolution by the general house of the BJP-led Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), officials said on Sunday.
The renaming of the chowk drew mixed reactions from the people with most of them welcoming the decision but urged the JMC to focus more on development and cleanliness rather than changing names.
"I had moved a resolution in the general house some four months ago demanding renaming of the 'City Chowk' to 'Bharat Mata Chowk on the popular demand of the public," senior BJP leader and Deputy Mayor of the JMC Purnima Sharma told PTI.
She said the resolution was adopted and accordingly the City Chowk was renamed as 'Bharat Mata Chowk'.
"This place is historic and a witness to major decisions and protests in the past. Every year people are hoisting the tricolour on Republic and Independence days in this chowk. There was a popular demand from the public to rename this chowk as Bharat Mata Chowk," Sharma said.
The starting point of the circular road near Panjtirthi in the city was named by the JMC as 'Atal Chowk' in the memory of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The Bharatiya Janata Party swept the JMC polls winning 43 of the 75 wards after the Urban local bodies elections were held in the erstwhile state in four phases from October 8 to 16 in 2018 after a gap of 13 years.
A board with the new name was seen erected by the JMC in the chowk, which connects four busy markets, including the famous Raghunath Temple, Super Market, Shalimar and Kanak Mandi.
"We welcome the move and understand that the respect for the motherland should be in one's heart. The administration should focus on creation of more parking space in the market and attracting tourists to Jammu, which has lost its charm after the city was bypassed with the direct rail link to the famous Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine at Katra," a local resident said.
Joint Secretary of Kanak Mandi market association V Gupta, however, was not impressed by the new name of the chowk and said It should not have done because this is the oldest residential and business area of the city.
"They placed the board overnight without consulting the locals. This is the oldest residential and commercial area of the city and known by the name of City Chowk. It came as a big surprise for us," Gupta said.
Raman Sharma, another shopkeeper, said the market is faced with lack of enough parking space as the customers are avoiding the market.
"We have no issue with the changed name but there should be a focus on addressing the problems being faced by the shopkeepers and residents," he said.

A programme designed to test the cyber-security capabilities of medical devices will come to the UK by the end of 2017.
Cyber Security
The Medical Device Innovation, Safety and Security Consortium (MDISS) has already launched the World Health Information Security Testing Lab (WHISTL) in the US, which examines complex multi-vendor, multi-device critical care environments like hospital intensive care units, operating theatres and emergency rooms.
The facility is the first of more than a dozen planned device security testing labs and cyber-ranges.
The new WHISTL facilities will include a federated network of medical device security testing labs, independently owned and operated by MDISS member organisations.
Each facility will launch and operate under a shared set of operating procedures. WHISTL facilities will help organisations work together to effectively address the public health challenges arising from cybersecurity issues emergent in complex, multi-vendor networks of medical devices.
While such security 'proving grounds' aren't new to enterprise IT, the MDISS says that WHISTL is the first network of labs specifically designed around the needs of medical device researchers, healthcare IT professionals and hospital clinical engineering leaders. By the end of 2017, MDISS WHISTL facilities will open in New York, Indiana, Tennessee, California as well as in the UK, Israel, Finland and Singapore.
Benjamin Esslinger, CBET manager/clinical engineer at Eskenazi Health, said "Working with MDISS over the past year on WHISTL has helped us make real progress against some very complex risk scenarios, while keeping the focus on patient safety."
Esslinger is the current 2017 Trustee and past President of the Indiana Biomedical Society. He works with Matthew S. Dimino, an Imaging Engineer at Eskenazi Health and educator at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis.
Esslinger continued, "Remember, medical devices are still on the frontier of cybersecurity, and security best practices for devices are still maturing. Our new WHISTL facility enables us to run medical devices through tougher, more realistic test regimes. Hidden vulnerabilities surface more quickly, and that helps us build more responsive standard operating procedures."
WHISTL facilities focus on identifying and mitigating medical device vulnerabilities, sharing solutions and best practices, and device security education and awareness. Newly uncovered vulnerabilities will be responsibly reported to device manufacturers and to the NHISAC-MDISS Medical Device Vulnerability Program for Evaluation and Response, or 'MDVIPER' at https://mdviper.org/.
Denise Anderson, president of NH-ISAC, said: "WHISTL will provide much-needed insight from actual developers and users of medical devices, which will result in increased relevant and actionable information sharing and situational awareness for all stakeholders in healthcare. NH-ISAC looks forward to partnering with MDISS on this important effort for the community."
MDISS, under a $1.8M contract from the Department of Homeland Security (Science and Technology Directorate, Cyber Security Division) built the medical device cyber risk assessment platform, or 'MDRAP'. The platform helps health systems, device manufacturers, and technology firms collaborate to produce and share device risk assessments. The fast-growing and standards-based MDRAP platform features moderated crowdsourcing and facilitates timely, responsible sharing of risk assessments and threat indicators, while helping automate critical device inventory, audit, oversight and vulnerability tracking tasks for hospitals.
Dr. Nordenberg, MD, Executive Director of MDISS, and former CIO at the National Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Infectious Diseases, said: "MDISS WHISTL facilities will dramatically improve access to device security know-how while protecting patient privacy and stakeholder intellectual property. Solid cyber-lab governance will support an international-scale network of research and training centers of excellence, designed especially for medical device designers, hospital IT, and clinical engineering professionals."

design and development
The Speed33 was designed using the same computer and modeling tools utilized in OEM full-vehicle production development programs: CATIA V5, Alias and Unigraphics. These tools help us to quickly build electronic designs that can be compared to our inspiration sketches and two-dimensional engineering drawings. These time-intensive steps are what separate the "back-yard builders" from American Speed Company when it comes to repeatability, quality control, and a well-executed design.
Design: The design process began with the development of several themes sketches by our in-house designers. Taking artistic cues from three final rendered sketches, the Speed33 then came to life in a series of 2-dimensional line drawings. Utilizing the classic approach of engineering on paper, each component was designed and evaluated as it took shape. These drawings evaluate the "stack up" of components as they interact with each other. Once the design is outlined in 2-dimensional format, its time to "get it in the tube" and into 3-dimensional CAD format.
Engineering: The surface of the Speed33 was created from a combination of scanning and measuring existing original '33 and '34 roadsters and cabriolets; foam modeling and printed reviews. With the panels stamped in 1.24mm thick steel, it is important to maintain the proper body character lines and reveals that make a '33 a '33. These processes are verified by taking the entire "math model" and sending the data to the computer controlled mill. Cutting in a large series of foam blocks, the guided bit cuts into the block, revealing the design, full scale, with all of the details described in the math data. This is when things get fun !
Manufacturing: With the design "proven" by the milling process, the interior structure was then developed in order to provide a skeleton to support the exterior panels. This well engineered skeleton is what provides the needed rigidity for the front windshield to eliminate flex and squeaks, as well as the suicide door hinges and convertible top mechanism. The interior structure also allows the Speed33 to maintain correct panel gapping, alignment and fitment by reinforcing the entire body from firewall to the rear valence. Utilizing square and rectangular steel tubing, heavy gauge floor panels, and vertical risers in the cowl and cockpit areas, the body is locked together for terrific rigidity. This means that your time spent gapping the doors, decklid and tonneau panel will be rewarded by not changing over time due to body flex. Better design leads to better builds.

Sesame-crusted Salmon with Noodles
I know I rarely post fish recipes, and that's simply because I don't eat much fish. It's not that I dislike it, but I never crave it and there's just so much food I prefer... anyway - once in a while I try to make an effort to cook fish, in part because Titus really likes it. He wasn't very fond of the sesame seeds in this dish, though...
Sesame-crusted Salmon with Noodles
serves 3
3 portions salmon fillet, skinless
1 lime, zest and juice
1 + 1 tbsp light Japanese soy sauce
fresh ginger, about 5 cm, finely grated
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
sesame seeds
125 g egg noodles
250 g mixed veggies (I used a frozen wok mix)
100 g snow peas
oil for frying
Stir together lime zest, lime juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, fresh ginger, and sweet chili sauce. Coat the salmon pieces in this, and then in sesame seeds. Save the marinade!
Bring a pot of water to boil, and cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Don't over cook them! Add the snow peas for the last minute, then drain and rinse in cold water.
Fry the salmon in oil on medium heat, about 3-4 minutes on each side. The sesame seeds burn fairly easily, so watch the heat.
Heat more oil in a large frying pan or wok, and cook the vegetables for a few minutes. Add the noodles and snow peas and pour over the reserved marinade and the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir well for a minute or so, and then serve, with the salmon on top.
Recipe in Swedish:

Islands One, Two and Three were recorded at different times and with different levels of video sophistication. Here they are in order…
Island One: Milonga
This piece also exists in an arrangement for two guitars, but here's the original, one guitar version.
(note: there's typo in the first 5 seconds of this video—it's Island #1, not #3, of course.)
Island Two
This piece would probably work best with a light rhythm section and more freedom and space to improvise: I tried my best to fit it on my solo guitar. I think it kind of works:)
Island Three
I wrote this piece so I'd be forced to practice my scales.

Emory Law appoints Ahdieh K.H. Gyr Professor of Private International Law
Emory Law School has named Vice Dean Robert B. Ahdieh the K.H. Gyr Professor of Private International Law. The professorship recognizes outstanding achievement in scholarship and teaching, in disciplines including international economic law, trade, commercial arbitration, financial regulation, business transactions, conflict of laws and other fields of international law.
Ahdieh is among the world's leading scholars in international financial regulation and trade. His work revolves around questions of regulatory design, with emphasis on nontraditional modes of regulation.
"I am deeply honored to be appointed the K.H. Gyr Professor of Private International Law," Ahdieh said. "At a moment when the stability of the global economy, trade relations with both Europe and the Pacific Rim, and questions of international financial regulation are all high on the agenda of U.S. policymakers, the importance of international law and regulation could not be more apparent."
Ahdieh's book, Russia's Constitutional Revolution—Legal Consciousness and the Transition to Democracy 1985-1996, written while he was a Yale Law School student, examines the constitutional transformation of post-Soviet Russia. Ahdieh worked and studied in Moscow, including at Moscow State Institute of International Relations and the Gorbachev Foundation.
He has also written on the review of national court decisions by international tribunals, the role of cities and states in international relations and the regulatory dynamics surrounding the global financial crisis. Ahdieh's work has appeared in leading law journals, including the Boston University Law Review, Emory Law Journal, Michigan Law Review, Minnesota Law Review, New York University Law Review and Southern California Law Review.
This spring, Ahdieh served as the Douglas McK. Brown Visiting Chair in Law at the University of British Columbia. He was a visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study from 2008 to 2009, and the 2007-2008 Microsoft/Law and Public Affairs Fellow at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Ahdieh has been integral to Emory Law's recent partnerships with institutions abroad, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, City University of Hong Kong and China University of Political Science and Law. He also guided formation of the law school's juris master degree program in 2012.
Prior to entering academia, Ahdieh's professional experience included two years as a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Division; service as an assistant to U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter's chief of staff, and work as a research associate for Zbigniew Brzezinski, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. As a student, he spent summers working at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering and the Department of Justice, prior to serving as a law clerk for Judge James R. Browning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Ahdieh lectures internationally, and is an engaged and well-regarded teacher—his courses at Emory Law have included comparative law, contracts, emerging markets law, international trade law, and legislation and regulation. He has also served as a visiting professor at U.S. institutions and abroad, including posts at Columbia University School of Law and Georgetown University Law Center. He is co-director of Emory's Law's Center on Federalism and Intersystemic Governance, along with Emory Law Dean Robert A. Schapiro. Ahdieh has been faculty advisor for the Emory International Law Review since 2002, and is member of the Yale Journal of International Law advisory board.
The K.H. Gyr Professorship was established in 1987 by Emory Law alumnus Roland U. Straub 87L to honor his grandfather, the Swiss industrialist and co-founder of Landis & Gyr. The two previous holders of the chair were Professor Richard L. Doernberg and Professor David J. Bederman.
"To be successor to my late colleague, David Bederman, only adds to this special honor," Ahdieh said. "David set a high bar for anyone to follow, but I hope to do my best to live up to that standard."


text: Uncategorized | May 22, 2018 Written by C. Raja Mohan. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi enters the last year of his tenure and prepares for the 2019 elections, there are no signs of a slowdown on the external front. Whether it was the quick dash to Sochi in Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin this week or the lakeside pow-vow with China's leader Xi Jinping last month, the surprising recent re-engagement with North Korea or the planned expansion of India's strategic partnership with Indonesia later this month, India's diplomacy has entered a very intensive phase. Some of it has to do with the current uncertain international environment that is throwing up new opportunities as well as fresh challenges for Delhi. India's ability to respond effectively to the new international and regional uncertainty is constrained, however, by Delhi's institutional and policy weaknesses especially in the domains of commerce and defence. The current turbulence in the international and regional environment is largely due to US President Donald Trump's vigorous unilateralism and a major departure from the traditional American economic and foreign policies. In response, China, Russia, Japan and Europe are at once trying to find ways to propitiate Trump as well as hedge against the current volatility in US policies. As Trump demands reciprocity in commercial relationships to redress America's massive trade imbalance with the rest of the world, most of America's partners are eager to make bilateral deals with Washington. As Trump questions the costs and benefits of alliances, America's traditional partners in Europe and Asia have been compelled to consider the logic of strategic autonomy from the U S. Neither Trump's allies nor his adversaries can now afford to take Washington for granted. Modi's high-voltage diplomacy towards major powers and Asia, however, is not matched by the government's approaches to trade and security. India's seemingly neuralgic opposition to trade liberalisation threatens international isolation amidst rearrangement of the global economic order. Contrary to the widespread hope — or expectation — Trump has declared that the US is not going to "decline elegantly". The US president has signaled he was not going to accept the proposition that China is on an irrevocable course to replace America as the hegemonic power in the world. Instead he promises to "Make America Great Again". Trump's decision to push back has cast a shadow over Beijing's recent bet that the world had no choice but to accept and accommodate China's rise. It has persuaded Beijing to demonstrate greater flexibility towards the US as well as its immediate neighbours, including India and Japan. Although Trump openly called for a normalisation of relations with Russia, the allegations in Washington that President Vladimir Putin had manipulated the 2016 presidential elections in favour of Trump have put the American foreign policy establishment at odds with Moscow. India's positive political relations with the US have been complemented by the new challenges of managing the problems on the trade and immigration fronts. If Sino-US tensions have opened up space for India, those between Washington and Moscow shrink Delhi's room for manoeuvre. Modi's informal summits in Wuhan with Xi and Sochi with Putin are part of the new nimble footed Indian diplomacy towards major powers. Trump has also muddied the regional environment in East Asia. His attempt at normalising relations with North Korea has left much of the region, especially China and Japan stunned. China — long standing ally of North Korea — is concerned that it might be cut out of the unexpected direct diplomacy between Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un. As their engagement hit an air pocket last week, Trump accused Xi of trying to scuttle a potential American reconciliation with North Korea. Japan, in contrast, is an ally of the United States. It is deeply is concerned that Trump's nuclear deal with Kim might leave Tokyo exposed to the residual North Korean nuclear capabilities. Beijing and Tokyo are also wary about the consequences of a potential reconciliation between North and South Korea and the resurgence of Korean nationalism. If the old alliances are under stress in North East Asia, the regional security framework for South East Asia, anchored in the ASEAN, has come under considerable strain, thanks to the return of the great power rivalries. While the ASEAN remains central to the region's future, most countries in the region are insuring against the current strategic uncertainty by boosting their national defence capabilities and diversifying their strategic partnerships. The PM's decision to dispatch General V K Singh, the minister of state for external affairs to North Korea, in the first high-level diplomatic engagement in two decades, is a reminder of India's unique relationship with the divided peninsula. Modi's visit to Indonesia later this month promises to reverse the prolonged Indian strategic neglect of Indonesia. Modi's high-voltage diplomacy towards major powers and Asia, however, is not matched by the government's approaches to trade and security. India's seemingly neuralgic opposition to trade liberalisation threatens international isolation amidst rearrangement of the global economic order. Delhi's problems with implementing large infrastructure projects beyond its borders has also limited India's ability to deepen economic and military connectivity with Asia. Delhi's weak defence industrial base and tentative military diplomacy have prevented it from measuring up to its own claim on being a "regional security provider". Travels to the East later this month — to Jakarta and Singapore — provide an opportunity for the PM to signal that India is ready to address these structural weaknesses. C.

The next version of Microsoft's
enterprise system inventory, configuration and software deployment tool will
include enhanced remote user support, tighter Active Directory integration, and
improved software usage metering and reporting. The public beta is scheduled
for the second half of 2001.
"We're doing a substantial piece of work in Topaz to provide
a much better experience in remote user settings," David Hamilton, director of
Microsoft's management technologies group, told ENT in an interview after his
keynote Tuesday.
The improvements come at the request of customers who were
satisfied with SMS' management of constantly connected clients, but ran into
problems with mobile sales employees' laptops, WAN clients and occasionally connected
users, Hamilton said.
While SMS 2.0, the current version of the product, can be
used in Windows 2000 deployments, it does not take advantage of many of the
capabilities of Microsoft's Active Directory. Microsoft aims to fix that in
"In no way is Topaz dependant on the Active Directory. But
when Active Directory is there, when people have invested the time and effort
to deploy Active Directory, SMS should be better," Hamilton says.
One of the most important Active Directory-focused
enhancements of Topaz is making it easier to target sites or Organizational
Units. SMS is currently an inventory-centric tool – it is designed to
distribute software to clients that match a certain profile such as sufficient
RAM or CPU.
Microsoft is also tuning software metering, which allows an
administrator to monitor the applications that are running at a given time
across a network. With Topaz, Microsoft is re-engineering the metering
technology it introduced in SMS 2.0.
"We put a lot of bells and whistles in 2.0," Hamilton says.
Topaz scales back on metering a little. "We specifically looked at the common
things [customers] do day to day," he says.
Microsoft is also scrapping the old SMS reporting system for
a new one that adds browser-based reporting and provides a broader range of
reporting capabilities.
The graveyard of clients once supported in SMS but since
discontinued includes 16-bit Windows, Macintosh and OS/2. Windows 95 may be the
next casualty.
"We're talking to a lot of customers about Windows 95,"
Hamilton says. "We don't make those decisions for certain until beta."
SMS 2.0 was just updated last month with the release of
Service Pack 3, which is not a required upgrade. SP2, released over the summer,
was a required upgrade and was slipstreamed into new copies of SMS 2.0. – Scott Bekker

Why is it Hard to Find Manufactured Home Loans?
If you have a manufactured home, you may have trouble refinancing. Manufactured home loans are notoriously hard to find, but lenders that offer loans for both the purchase and refinancing of manufactured homes do exist—such as NLC Loans.
About Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes are simply homes that are primarily built in a factory instead of onsite, which is how most homes are built. Once completed, they are then moved to their final destinations by way of a flat bed truck and placed onto their foundations.
Manufactured homes are very common all over the country, but they are extremely popular in many areas in the south and west. While many manufactured homes may have a traditional rectangular shape, there are many that look more like what one might consider to be a "traditional" home. These homes tend to be very cost effective and take less time to build that onsite construction. However, people often find that when it comes time to buy or refinance one, that they have a hard time finding a lender that offers manufactured home loans.
Why are Loans for Manufactured Homes so Difficult to Find?
When it comes to financing a manufactured home, some lenders tend to shy away from these popular structures. This is due to the fact that some manufactured homes may age more quickly than their site-built counterparts. It can also be because manufactured homes may not be as profitable as other types of home construction for certain lenders. Fortunately, not all lenders exclude manufactured homes from their home finance offerings.
NLC Loans offers many financing options for manufactured home buyers and owners. Whether you are purchasing a manufactured home or refinancing one that you already own, NLC loans can help you with manufactured home loans.
Is My Manufactured Home Eligible for Manufactured Home Loans?
NLC Loans offers financing options for many types of manufactured homes. Whether yours is located on a serene country parcel or a small suburban lot, we have loan options available for you.
The primary things you need to know about purchasing or refinancing a manufactured home with manufactured home loans from NLC Loans is that in order to qualify, your manufactured home must be considered a "double wide" home–one that is at least 20 feet wide and 90 feet long.
Homes that are available for manufactured home loans from NLC Loans must also be affixed to a permanent foundation. That is, they cannot be placed on wheels, cinder blocks, or be mobile in any way. That's one of the major difference between what would be considered a "mobile home" and a manufactured home. They're both manufactured in a factory, but mobile homes do not have a permanent foundation.
Call NLC Loans for Manufactured Home Loans
To see if you might be able to get manufactured home loans from NLC Loans, call one of our Personal Mortgage Advisors for a free, no-obligation home savings consultation at 877-480-8050 or get pre-qualified.

Trump's new national security adviser dispatched to Turkey to halt assault on Syria
The Trump administration hopes to limit the fallout from the invasion, despite the Turkish President's insistence that there would be no ceasefire.
ANKARA (Reuters) – The Trump administration dispatched its top officials to Turkey on Wednesday for emergency talks to try to persuade Ankara to halt an assault on northern Syria, while Russian troops swept into territory abandoned by Washington in a sudden retreat.
Robert O'Brien, White House national security adviser since last month, arrived in Turkey aiming to meet Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Wednesday. Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are expecting to meet the following day with President Tayyip Erdogan.
The administration is trying to contain the fallout from Erdogan's decision to send forces last week to attack Syrian Kurdish militia that were Washington's close allies.
Erdogan repeated his insistence there would be no ceasefire, and said he might call off a visit to the United States next month because of the "very big disrespect" shown by U.S. politicians.
He also denounced the United States for taking the "unlawful, ugly step" of imposing criminal charges against a Turkish state bank over allegations it broke sanctions on Iran.
The Turkish assault, launched after a phone call between Erdogan and Trump, has forced Washington to abandon a strategy in place for five years and pull its troops from northern Syria.
It has spawned a humanitarian crisis, with 160,000 civilians taking flight, a security alert over thousands of Islamic State fighters abandoned in Kurdish jails, and a political maelstrom at home for Trump, accused by congressional leaders, including fellow Republicans, of betraying loyal U.S. allies, the Kurds.
Syrian government forces, backed by Washington's adversaries Russia and Iran, have meanwhile taken advantage of the power vacuum left by retreating U.S. troops to advance swiftly into the largest swath of territory previously outside their grasp.
Washington announced a package of sanctions to punish Turkey on Monday, but Trump's critics said the measures, mainly a hike in steel tariffs and a pause in trade talks, were too feeble to have an impact.
Twenty-four hours later U.S. prosecutors' charges were unveiled against Turkey's majority state-owned Halkbank for taking part in a multi-billion dollar scheme to evade Iran sanctions. Washington says the case is unrelated to politics. Halkbank denies wrongdoing and called the case part of the sanctions against Turkey.
U.S. "show of force" over k=Kobani
The Turkish advance, and Washington's need to swiftly evacuate its own forces, have brought the two biggest militaries in NATO close to confrontation on the battlefield. Washington has complained about Turkish artillery fire near its troops.
In the latest potential flashpoint, U.S. military aircraft carried out a "show of force" over the border city of Kobani after Turkish-backed fighters came close to American troops there, a U.S. official said.
Pence said Erdogan had promised Trump by phone that Turkey would not attack Kobani, a strategically important border city where U.S. forces first came to the aid of Kurds against Islamic State, which massacred Kurdish civilians there in 2014.
Erdogan said he had not broken his promise to Trump: "Mr Trump's remark on Kobani was 'Don't strike there'," Erdogan told reporters late on Tuesday. "We said that we had only done an encircling operation there at the moment."
Land rush
Washington's hasty exit has created a land rush between Turkey and Russia – now the undisputed foreign powers in the area – to partition the formerly U.S.-protected Kurdish area.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the eight-year Syrian war, said on Wednesday Russian troops had crossed the Euphrates River to advance to Kobani's outskirts.
Lebanon's al-Mayadeen TV reported that Russian-backed Syrian forces had also set up outposts in Raqqa, the one-time capital of Islamic State's caliphate, which the Kurds captured in 2017 at the peak of their campaign with U.S. support.
Hours after Washington announced its pullout on Sunday, the Kurds, who lost thousands of fighters waging battle against Islamic State in a five-year alliance with the United States, made an abrupt deal with Washington's adversaries, the Russian- and Iranian-backed government of President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia-backed Syrian troops have swiftly moved into towns across the breadth of the Kurdish-held area, including the city of Manbij, a major target of Turkey which U.S. forces said on Tuesday they had quit.
Reuters journalists travelling with Syrian government forces on Tuesday entered Manbij and saw Russian and Syrian flags flying from buildings near the city. Russian state television reported on Wednesday that Syrian government forces had occupied bases abandoned by U.S. troops.
Erdogan, who is due in Moscow later this month, said he had told President Vladimir Putin that Russia could move forces into Manbij, provided that the Kurdish YPG militia was cleared out.
"I told this to Mr Putin as well," Erdogan said. "If you are clearing Manbij of terrorist organisations, then go ahead, you or the regime can provide all the logistics. But if you are not going to do this, the people there are telling us to save them."
"We will never declare a ceasefire"
Erdogan says Trump approved his plans for a "safe zone" around 30 km (20 miles) inside Syria, stretching hundreds of miles from the Euphrates river in the west to the Iraqi border in the east. Trump says he did not endorse the Turkish plans but Washington cannot stay to police the Middle East.
"They say 'declare a ceasefire'. We will never declare a ceasefire," Erdogan told reporters on a plane back from a visit to Azerbaijan late on Tuesday. "They are pressuring us to stop the operation. They are announcing sanctions. Our goal is clear. We are not worried about any sanctions," he said.
The Turkish campaign shows no sign of abating on the ground, with most of the fighting so far around two border cities, Ras al Ain and Tel Abyad. A Reuters cameraman in the Turkish border town of Ceylanpinar reported the sound of heavy gunfire just across the frontier in Ras al Ain, which Turkey's Defence Ministry had earlier said its forces controlled.
Although U.S. sanctions announced by Trump so far were seen by markets as mild, the case against its second biggest state lender Halkbank was a reminder that Turkey's economy could be vulnerable to measures that hit its financial system.
The charges against Halkbank stem from a case that has caused friction in U.S. relations with Turkey for years. Shares of Halkbank

Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to day 4 of the December Writing Challenge. Yesterday I talked a bit about scheduling your writing time over the weekend by committing to it on your calendar and/or setting up some writing dates with like-minded friends. Today I'm going to tack on a bit of advice for when your schedule goes to hell.
It happens. We all know it does. You've got great intentions. Your writing time is scheduled and you really do plan to sit down and work on your current project at that precise time, but then the phone rings or the washing machine overflows or your boss pushes up a deadline and it looks like you have to work over the weekend. So what do you do when life happens and throws your great plans out the window?
Writing is all about creativity, and sometimes you need to extend that creativity to finding time to write. Even as you plan, you need to stay flexible, and not let a wrench in the works completely derail your writing for the day. Keep in mind that writing is a portable activity. Yes, you may prefer to sit in your ergonomically correct chair in front of your computer with your favorite instrumental music low in the background and a perfect cup of tea resting in a convenient spot on your desk. In an ideal world, everyone would get to write in their favorite spot with their preferred conditions. Alas, our world is far from ideal, so sometimes you're going to need to improvise when life gets in the way.
For those days you find your writing schedule thrown askew, be prepared to write anywhere and at any time you can squeeze it in. Keep a small pad and pen with you at all times to jot down a few sentences when the opportunity presents itself. If you drive a lot, use your phone or a hands-free digital recorder to talk through a tough scene you've been thinking about, so when you do get to your computer you'll be ready to write. Put dinner in the slow cooker instead of hovering over the stove — and be sure to make enough for leftovers to save another night's prep time. Forgo watching the evening news — it's depressing, anyway — and spend the time writing instead. Reach out to friends and family and see if they can help out with something that will give you a bit of extra time. Can your kid go for a play date at the neighbor's? Would your significant other cook or pick up take out? When all else fails, set your alarm a few minutes early, or burn a bit of midnight oil. You might not want to do that regularly — sleep is important, after all — but once in a while won't exhaust you, and it will keep your creative momentum flowing.
Have a wonderful weekend, and be sure to drop by if you need a bit more writing inspiration. Bit by bit, day by day, you can do this.

Local news:
"Wake Up" protest outside Oakland Mayor Schaaf's house
Protesters stood outside Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's house on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, giving her a "people's inauguration." Demonstrators went to Schaaf's house at 5 a.m. to express frustrations that the newly elected mayor spent her first day on the job at the Oakland Police Department instead of with the people of Oakland. The group made the words of King very clear by spelling out "Dream" in honor of King's "I Have a Dream" speech, projecting King quotes on Schaaf's garage door and drawing chalk outlines of bodies on the street. The protestors chanted "Wake up Libby!" as well as "No sleeping on the job!" and "You chose to prioritize blue, but today you will hear black."
According to InsideBayArea.com, one of the protestors said, "This is the people's alarm. You chose to spend your first day as mayor with the Oakland Police Department, a force that has terrorized the black community since its inception."
The protestors also arrived with a list of demands that include increasing funding for school libraries, firing officers who use excessive force and placing officers who are under investigation on unpaid leave. The Oakland police were there to monitor the crowd and made four arrests.
Occupy Protestors arrested in Oakland to share $1.4 million settlement
According to Reuters, hundreds of protestors arrested during a 2012 Occupy Movement demonstration in Oakland, CA won nearly a $1.4 million settlement of a lawsuit that accused authorities of violating their civil rights, an attorney said on Jan. 15. The federal lawsuit against Oakland and the county of Alameda said the mass arrests on Jan. 28, 2012 violated the protesters' constitutional rights to free speech, due process and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. According to the demonstrators, who were held in jail for between 12 and 80 days, they endured unsanitary and overcrowded cells and were denied their rights to contact family members. Mayor Libby Schaaf said Occupy Oakland was a very costly experience for the city and she is very committed to never face "this level of liability" again.
Lateefah Simon: Youth advocate nominated as Visionary of the Year
According to SFGate.com, Mills Alumna Lateefah Simon, 37, who is one of 13 nominees for Visionary of the Year, has been aiming to "create a Bay Area that's good to its people." She fought for job training and child care for young women caught up in the criminal justice system, education and housing for parolees. A former high school dropout, teenage mother and delinquent, she understood the cycle some of the Bay Area's young men and women were trapped in: unemployment, jail and drug use. Some of the previous honors Simon has received include the MacArthur Foundation grant, a Levi Strauss award and a spot on O Magazine's first Power List. The Visionary of the Year award, which includes a $10,000 grant and another $10,000 established in their honor at St. Mary's College for graduate business students, will be presented in a ceremony in March.
Obama delivers the 2015 State of the Union address
According to the New York Times, President Barack Obama, on Jan. 20 addressed the improving economy and supported an expensive domestic agenda aiming to improve the fortunes of the middle class in this year's State of the Union address. Obama plans to use his final two years in office to focus more on other programs. He called to make community college free for most students, enhance education and child care tax credits, and improve new taxes and fees on those earning a high-income and large financial institutions. In addition, the President called to continue a foreign policy that combines "military power with strong diplomacy" and called on Congress to lift the trade embargo on Cuba, authorize legislation on the fight against the Islamic State, push forward with aggressive action to fight climate change and would not back down on changes to the nation's immigration system. In addition, Obama was the first president to say the words "transgender," "gay" and "bisexual" in a State of the Union address, making history.
Supreme Court to Decide Marriage Rights for Gay Couples Nationwide
According to the New York Times, the Supreme Court on Jan. 16 agreed to decide whether all 50 states must allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. The decision came just months after the justices, in October, refused to hear appeals from rulings allowing same-sex marriage in five states. The number of states who legalized same-sex marriage recently expanded to about 70 percent of the states.
California 'right-to-die' bill proposed
Lawmakers are renewing efforts to allow California's terminally ill greater choice over how and when they die, according to InsideBayArea.com. On Jan. 21, two state senators and the family of the late Brittany Maynard, who inspired the bill, will unveil the End of Life Option Act, which allows doctors in California to prescribe a lethal dose of medications to terminally ill patients. States such as Oregon already have 17 years of experience with the law and have not used this legislation often nor triggered any legal disputes. The goal of a more compassionate and cost-effective way to end one's life has taken on growing resonance with the aging population. Opponents have seen this proposal as a moral violation and believe that this may provoke the very sick or disabled patients who feel family or economic pressure to die. Lawmakers have pledged to introduce aid-in-dying legislation in 12 other states besides California.
Health alert after Disneyland linked to measles outbreak
According to the Los Angeles Times, The California Department of Public Health was investigating nine measles cases tied to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park, officials said on Jan. 7. The cases, reported in California, Utah and Mexico, occurred when those affected visited the theme parks during the holidays from Dec. 15 to Dec. 20, according to officials. Health professionals say the best way to prevent measles, which is airborne and can be spread easily through coughing, sneezing or coming into contact with an infected person, is to get vaccinated. The recent outbreak has made a comeback since being declared eradicated in the United States in 2000. As of this week, according to USA Today, 70 people have been diagnosed with measles and hundreds more have been exposed at various public places such as schools, hospitals and malls. The outbreak has been reported in 27 states in 2014 according to the CDC.
Charlie Hebdo was targeted in a terrorist attack
On Jan. 7, 12 people were shot dead and at least four were critically wounded in the Paris office of satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, during their daily editorial meeting, according to BBC World News. The masked attackers opened fire with assault rifles in the office and exchanged shots with police in the streets outside before escaping by car. The attack was believed to have been sparked by a caricature the magazine published of the Prophet Muhammad. Charlie Hebdo's website, which went offline during the attack, shows the single image of "Je suis Charlie" (I am Charlie) on a black banner, referring to the most popular hashtag in Twitter history that is trending in solidarity with the victims, according to The Telegraph.

As soon as Christmas and New Year are over, my thoughts turn to 2017. This is going to be our 10th season and I am wondering what we can do to celebrate it. Perhaps a free gift for each guest or something. Maybe it is something I will look into. We have done something similar before where we did a personalised print for each family (using my best friend's company www.afewwords.co.uk). I will put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with. Already have new beach/swimming bags for each child. These are different to last years designs as my daughter complained they rubbed her shoulder, so we have a new natural canvas version this year.
I have also just been updating the website. It is amazing the number of mistakes you spot when you go back and check everything. I am sure I proof read it when I did the website originally (I redesigned it a a few years ago), but having returned to read it through with fresh eyes, I am embarrassed at the number of typos there are. Fortunately my clients are not booking holidays because of the quality of my English but it couldn't have been the best impression. If any of you spot any, please let me know!!!
January is normally our busiest booking period and I hope that this continues this year. So far so good. I have spent some time loading our gites and lodges on some new marketing websites and also planning the changes that are going to happen here. We are going to get to grips with some parts of the garden which have become very overgrown. Diggers have already been in to remove some overgrown shrubs and lots of brambles but we haven't finished yet. I am also toying with the following ideas… working out if we can afford them, if we can do them in time, if people will want them. Let me know what you think if you get a minute.
A gym (maybe indoor, maybe outdoor).
A new climbing frame/swing set.
New ride on toys.
I will post an update here when we make any decisions but will probably be close to easter time before we make a decision.
Also testing out some new recipes for the Plat du Jours which is not good for my diet!

Dale Stafford's Top 3 Tips for Growing Your Business
Dale Stafford, Founder and Principal of the Principal Department shared with us her top 3 tips for growing your business.
There's no such thing as business.
There's just people doing stuff.
Stuff we call business.
You know, stuff like finding enough customers, selling them something, delivering it with quality and on time so they're more than happy to pay you promptly, place repeat orders and recommend their network to use you too.
How difficult could that be? What could possibly go wrong?
Quite a lot, it turns out, as anyone in business will confirm.
So, when it comes to growing your business, what does it really take to achieve results and how are you measuring up?
In answer to what does it take, here's a hat-trick of tips which may seem simple and commonsensical. But experience shows that simple doesn't mean easy, and the problem with common sense is it's not so common. As Chris Tarrant used to say on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', it's only easy when you know the answer.
Seize The Opportunity
If achieving success in business was easy, everyone would be doing it. But they're not, because it isn't. Various studies report that success rates for high growth in small businesses is fewer than 4%. Having said that, it is relatively simple and much easier when you know how. Which is where people like me give you and your business a massive advantage. We've been there, done it and got the t-shirt after all.
"Success rates for high growth in small businesses is fewer than 4%"
What's more, political parties of all persuasions seem to have cottoned on to how critically important SMEs are to the economy. They're saviours of the nation as I like to call them, because they punch above their weight in terms of being innovative, creating new jobs and generating wealth. Which means there's more support out there than ever for those who are commercially savvy and serious about growing their business, and it often attracts funding. So, grab the support you need with both hands and steal a march on your competition.
Don't Go It Alone
Getting a business up and running usually rests on the efforts of one, maybe two, highly motivated and committed individuals. The quintessential owner-manager. Sustaining that over the longer term and successfully growing a business can't be achieved in the same way. Critical to your success is how well you're able to up your own game as well as harness your existing people power, enabling you to move to working on your business rather than working in it, you need to be confident enough to let your team take care of the day-to-day. Your ability to attract the right new blood and deal with any would-be internal saboteurs, all too ready and willing to hold progress back with their negativity and cynicism along the way, is also crucial if you're to realise the potential in your business.
Dale advises businesses on how to harness their people power
The Winning Combo
You obviously need a vision of where you want to take your business and a focussed plan of action to turn it into a reality. Without that, the vision's merely a pipe dream and your growth aspirations will probably be frustrated. And even with a great plan on paper, taking yourself and your business to the next level is no mean feat because growth equals change. You might say, growing your business is like going through a metamorphosis, akin to the transformational change that takes place inside a chrysalis as the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. It's thinking and doing things differently that separates the winners from the losers in the growth game.
