Windows Server 2003 R2 released to manufacturingBy Derek Sooman
Microsoft has announced that Windows Server 2003 R2 has been released to manufacturing. Customers should be able to get hold of the new OS within 60 days. But with quite a few other products being released by the software giant recently, the release of this version of the OS might pass by unnoticed somewhat. The company narrowly made its target release schedule of the second half of 2005. All in all, it's been quite a year for Microsoft's Server and Tools division.
To recap quickly, we saw the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and X64 editions released in the spring, and the beta release of Windows Server "Longhorn," the first public beta of Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition, and Virtual Server 2005 R2 this fall, not to mention the long-awaited SQL Server 2005 database update and Visual Studio 2005.

Modern Slavery
Modern Slavery is different from Old Slavery
Steve McQueen's Oscar nominated "12 Years a Slave" - a film tells the extraordinary story of a free man torn from his family in New York in the 1840s and enslaved in Louisana, USA for over a decade. Based on the real life chronicled experiences of Solomon Northup, the film provides horrific examples of the physical and psychological traumas endured by the millions of Africans who were cruelly exploited, enslaved and abused during the 400 years of the Atlantic Slave Trade.
The film ends with a potted history of Solomon Northup's life, but sadly for the millions of victims suffering under the yoke of modern slavers, it fails to point out that slavery is alive and flourishing in every country in the world. Many filmgoers who see the film will leave the cinemas, still under the impression that slavery and the slave trade are things of the past. After all did we not iin the UK celebrate the 200th year anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in 2007 ? and was not President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation brought into force in the USA after the US Civil War in 1865 ?
But making something illegal, does not make it cease to exist. Making something illegal only cause it to vanish from view. Behind closed doors, in remote places and right under our noses, slavery has continued, making people rich, feeding our lifestyles, and burning up lives.
Although every country has signed up to the tenets of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights or any other anti-slavery convention, there are more slaves now than ever before, an estimated 36 million according to Walk Free's Global Slavery Index. More people than ever before are forced to work, under the threat of violence and for no pay. On the African continent, hundreds of thousands are considered chattel and slavery is accepted as an everyday social institution, whilst on the Indian Sub-Continent, millions languish in generational debt bondage. Across the globe, young girls sold for sex and labour, are already the second most lucrative commodity for organised crime.
A fascination with the particular form of nineteenth-century chattel slavery, hides the larger story of human bondage, in our recent history and our global present. We have to put behind us the picture of slavery as depicted in "12 Years a Slave" or Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and accept that modern slavery is a different practice from old slavery.
Slavery today shares with the slavery of the past, the essentials of violence and exploitation, but today it is not a legal institution, it is not a key part of any country's economy, nor is it completely based on race or ethnicity.
Today slavery exists in many different forms around the world. But these forms share two key characteristics that distinguish them from slavery in the past; slaves today are cheap and they are disposable. This new kind of slavery arrived in the late 20th century.
Slaves are cheaper than they have ever been. The fall in their price has been so dramatic that the basic economy of slavery has changed. For example, an average slave in the American South in 1850 would cost the equivalent of £40,000; today a slave can cost as little as £40. Because there is a glut of potential slaves on the open market, they are worth very little, which in turn means they are capable of generating high profits. The amount of profit to be made on slaves in the 1850s Louisana, averaged around 5% a year. Today profit margins start in double figures and can go as high as 800%.
The low cost of slaves is good for the slave holder but very bad for the slave. It means that, unlike the past, the modern slave does not require special care as a major investment, and it means that slaves are easily replaced. They are like the cheap plastic biros businesses buy for office use. No one worries about the care and the maintenance of biros, or files title of ownership. Biros are disposable, and so are many slaves. So, if slaves get ill, are injured, outlive their usefulness or become troublesome to the slaveholder, they are dumped or worse.
We each have a responsibility to end this obnoxious crime against humanity once and for all. Although slavery is too big to be stopped by any individual, no matter how powerful, charismatic or clever that person might be, a small action can lead to big effect, if it is coordinated with the actions of others. One person jumping up and down won't cause an earthquake, but if everyone jumps together, the effect would be possible to ignore. Let's start jumping together as members of the Rotarian Action Group against Child Slavery and engulf the world with the message "Let's put an end to Slavery".
Two key obstacles stand in the way of this objective: lack of resources and lack of awareness. In the modern world where most people loath slavery, awakening their awareness would unleash great power. When we come to know that we are living in a world of slaves, that their stolen labour and lives feed into our shops, our businesses and our homes, the urge to act will become irrepressible. When that urge, that desire that all should be free, sweeps across our world, the end of slavery will be near. From that desire will flow the resources needed to get the job done and the liberators need to help more and more slaves to walk free.

Consider the following code block:
It's only showing
#include, but what I've typed in the code block is
#include <yajl/yajl_parse.h>. So, the
< is not being escaped properly.
Here's another code block:
for ( i=1; i
That should be for ( i=1; i < strlen(argv[a]); i++) .
According to the formatting help:
Like code blocks, code spans will be displayed in a monospaced font. Markdown and HTML will not work within them. Note that, unlike code blocks, code spans require you to manually escape any HTML within!
So it seems like the intent is to automatically escape all HTML -- or am I not understanding how code blocks should work?

By Krys Lee
246 pp. Viking. $26.
Is leaving the world's most infamous dictatorship as easy as simply escaping? The answers — and there are more than one — are at the heart of Krys Lee's forceful debut novel.
"How I Became a North Korean" begins simply, in chapters that alternate among three central characters. First we meet Yongju, the good son of elite North Korean parents, who comes home to find a strange man calmly burning their photographs and documents in the kitchen, a clear sign the family has been marked for erasure. Next up is Danny, a Christian Joseonjok from China's Korean ethnic minority, a closeted gay immigrant in the United States, a devout Christian and a good student — until his first crush brutally humiliates him. And finally there is Jangmi, a young woman from North Korea's rank and file, pregnant with a powerful man's child, who sells herself into marriage to a Joseonjok willing to pay the traffickers who arrange her escape to China, where she hopes to persuade her new husband the child is his.
North Koreans typically travel north in order to go south, and so, despite these young people's three very different points of departure, they meet by chance in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Joseonjok territory, that slim knife of land on the Chinese side of the border. Yongju, separated from his mother and sister after being smuggled out of North Korea, has joined a refugee gang of boys and young men living in a mountain cave. He dreams of making his way to South Korea, imagining that he might be able to find his relatives there. But such a hopeful future seems increasingly remote. "I was starting to measure space," he remarks, "by the number of people it could hide." While out searching for supplies, Yongju encounters Danny, who has run away from his family in the United States, intent on living as a sort of ecstatic hermit in the place where he was born, alone with his push-ups, his prayers and his job at a restaurant, experiencing "the thrill of being out of my time line, in China, a body returning to the past to escape the past."
When Yongju rescues him from a robbery, Danny falls in love with him and joins his gang. He sees Jangmi, who has been kicked out by her husband and his family, as a bitter rival and quickly comes to resent her. Like Yongju, she is determined to make her way to South Korea, which she imagines as a country where "scrawny women owned rooms heaped with clothes and cars with heated seats. A safe country." But she intends to start a new life there with her child, apart from all who ever knew her — especially Yongju.
With this novel, Lee has returned to some of the territory covered in "Drifting House," her devastatingly cleareyed book of stories, set in contemporary South Korea. Mustering a story writer's kinetic intensity, the novel seems distracting at first as it switches, chapter by chapter, among the characters, but the spare structure gains strength from their very different voices. Yongju is lyrical, perhaps a future poet. Danny is painfully blind to himself. Jangmi is heartbreakingly ruthless, by turns funny and salty. What emerges from their observations — of North and South Korea and China, the refugee and the immigrant, the gay Christian and the straight nonbeliever — is not just another simplistic indictment of a country in thrall to its Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il, but a compelling vision of both North and South Korea. Lee finds other villains normally hidden in the landscape: the Christian aid workers who require refugees to convert in exchange for their freedom; the restaurant guests who, astonishing to a North Korean, leave behind partly eaten bowls of noodles; and, of course, those who insist they want to help North Korean refugees but won't let them forget where they came from. A perfect example of their predicament appears near the end, when Jangmi, having at last arrived in South Korea, assimilates so completely that she finds herself being lectured by an older woman, convinced she's too slender, on the value of food. "I have known all kinds of hunger," she tells us, "but I am tired of fighting. In my best standardized South Korean accent I just say, 'Halmeoni, you must have had a hard life.' In the steaming room I listen patiently as she begins sharing the stories she must have needed to tell."

Popular Charleston Shore Excursions
Don't Miss
The Historic District: This is truly the Charleston of yesteryear, covering the city in its Colonial and Antebellum eras. It can be toured in several ways. You can wander on your own with a guidebook and a map, strolling and stopping as you please. You can take one of the carriages that leave from Church and N. Market Streets for a 45-minute ride with an entertaining guide. (Try to get on a carriage with a No. 1 medallion.)
You can also sign up for a guided walking tour with one of the many companies offering them, such as the Original Charleston Walks, which has a range of general, combination and specialty tours. All general tours will include landmarks like the Old Exchange Building, Rainbow Row, the Battery, St. Michael's Church (the city's oldest, dating back to 1761) and St. Philip's Church. (Ask about Calhoun's multiple burials.) Other tours by minivans cover more ground with multiple stops and are easier on the feet.
Specialty tours abound. You'll find Gullah Tours, which portray the African-American experience (including slavery), and Amanda Dew Manning's culinary tours, which feature markets, restaurants and specialty shops, are interesting options. Lastly, if time and temperament allow, come back after dark for one of the many ghost tours, which offer a different perspective on the city's history.
Houses & Museums: Charleston features half a dozen magnificent house museums, an art museum and a historical museum, along with outlying plantations; all are open for tours. They can be visited independently, in conjunction with a tour, or you can buy a two-day Charleston Heritage Passport that covers them all ($44.95). The sites include the Nathaniel Russell House (51 Meeting Street; with a magnificent flying staircase and decor), the Edmonston-Alston House (21 East Battery; planter's waterfront town home with splendid furnishings), the Heyward-Washington House (87 Church Street; Washington stayed here in 1791. See the priceless Holmes Bookcase and the incredible gardens.), the Joseph Manigault House (350 Meeting Street; a rice-planter's residence, designed by his brother who also designed City Hall), the Aiken-Rhett House (48 Elizabeth Street; a huge mansion, preserved in its mid-19th century condition). Both the Gibbes Museum of Art (135 Meeting Street; an excellently eclectic collection) and the Charleston Museum (360 Meeting Street; 300 years of the city's life and history) are included in the Passport or can be visited individually. Not included in any package, but worth a visit, is the Calhoun Mansion (16 Meeting Street; a post-Civil War exercise in Victorian opulence and, no, it's not John C. Calhoun, but a later relative who bought it from its builder).
Fort Sumter: "Where the Civil War began," Fort Sumter sits at the entrance of Charleston Harbor, a battered reminder of the furor and folly that so characterized the Civil War. The attack on the fort was a public spectacle for Charlestonians, who were unaware of the hardship and destruction that would follow. The fort itself, under constant siege and assault, ended the war as a ruin. A visit to the interpretive center at the pier is suggested before boarding the tour boat. The tour lasts a little longer than two hours and includes a narrated harbor cruise, as well as admission to the monument itself and the services of the knowledgeable National Park Services guides.
The South Carolina Aquarium, located just next door to the Fort Sumter National Monument building, is ideal if you're traveling with children. While you're there, check out the venue's albino alligator. There's a variety of other exhibits, too, including otters, fish, sharks, turtles, jellyfish and even a bald eagle. Be sure to use the map you're given when you purchase your tickets. It can be difficult to navigate otherwise.
Special Events: At certain times of the year, some events can use up every hotel room, restaurant and parking space in town, so plan ahead. These include the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in mid-February, the Wine and Food Festival the first weekend in March and the famed Spoleto Festival of the Arts from late May to mid-June -- but be aware of the crowds. Additionally, a series of house tours and events take place twice a year, with private residences, gardens and venues being opened up for public viewing. In October, the Preservation Society sponsors Fall Tours of Homes & Gardens, and, mid-March to mid-April, the Historic Charleston Foundation conducts the Festival of Houses & Gardens. If either coincides with your cruise-related stop in Charleston, so much the better.
Golf at one of the many excellent courses in the area, including the renowned Ocean Course, which is one of five at Kiawah Island Resort (800-576-1570). After your round, stop off at the resort's ultra-luxury hotel, the Sanctuary, for a drink, a meal or just a look around.
See tea being grown at Charleston Tea Plantation (843-559-0383), the only tea-producing farm in America. Set on rural Wadmalaw Island, the facility not only grows tea (a relative of camellias), but also processes it onsite. Tours of the operations are offered daily with samples.
Ride a bike over the massive and striking Ravenel Bridge on the Cooper River. The structure has walking/biking lanes and offers incredible views of the city, the harbor and all the way out to sea. At the other end, Patriots' Point, is a naval museum built into the WWII carrier Yorktown. If you'd rather not ride, take the water taxi. Affordabike is a nice option (534 King Street, 843-789-3281).
Charleston is home to the Charleston RiverDogs, a class-A South Atlantic League affiliate of the New York Yankees. If you're spending time in Charleston pre- or post-cruise, you can catch a night game for just a few dollars. The field, located in Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, is at 360 Fishburne Street and is within walking distance of hotels in the Medical District; from downtown, it's a five- to 10-minute cab ride. The stadium is also where you'll find the Homewrecker Hot Dog -- a half-pound, all-beef dog (featured on an episode of "Man vs. Food") to which you can add any of 25 toppings for reasonable prices.

Bonsai latest malayalam song lyrics movie
Bonsai (Malayalam : ബോൺസായി) is a 2018 Indian Malayalam film written and directed by debutant Santhosh Peringeth. After his critically acclaimed short film Kotti and some other short films Santhosh came up with the film Bonsai. The film stars Manoj K Jayan, Lena, Santhosh Keezhattoor, Ajin Shaji and Anagha Janaki in the lead roles. Bonsai deals with social themes including education, social class and social mobility. The central character of the film is a school going Dalit boy who desires to own a bicycle to go to the far away school.
Story plot of malayalam movie Bonsai
In an apartment in a densely populated city, where the buildings outnumbers the trees, a small family arrives, nurturing a pot bearing a tiny tree with stunted growth and regularly chiselled branches. Their daughter always dreams of shifting the bonsai tree from its congested abode and planting it in its original soil. In a forest where trees are huge and men are small, a tribal boy named Krishnan realizes that having a bicycle would strengthen the prospect of joining the high school to pursue his studies after 7th standard. How the society handles his efforts for owning the bicycle, how the use of plastics affect the traditional life style of the people, their attempts, quests and dreams about their anticipation spreads its wings in spite of all the hurdles just like the bonsai tree

In a bid to increase efficiency while still delivering great service, often at a lower cost, transport and logistic specialists are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence.
While many sectors have long since embraced the benefits of computing and connectivity to increase their productivity it is only recently that the field of transport and logistics have started to see the benefits of artificial intelligence.
It is hoped that eventually this smart technology will revolutionise the industry. The key role artificial intelligence currently plays is in the analysis of enormous stores of data. Once this is concluded the technology is able to propose optimised ways of using the information it has gathered.
Eventually, artificial intelligence will, it is hoped, be able to not only act, respond and intervene but also learn and predict what is likely to happen. It is this potential that transport and logistic leaders are hoping to harness.
While it is often feared that the rise of artificial intelligence will replace human employees this is not the case. Instead it is hoped that the new technology will be able to aid human workers, making their jobs easier. Currently artificial intelligence is used to assist in the processing of huge amounts of information.
While this may ordinarily take a human being some considerable time with the aid of artificial intelligence the worker is able to do the task quickly before producing a detailed summary of the data.
It is thought that the enhanced capabilities and performance of software along with connected robotics and the Internet of Things will soon be able to eliminate the drudgery of certain jobs. This artificial intelligence will also allow companies to fully utilise the power of the information they command.
According to Vincent Levasseur, head of the Paris based Bolloré Transport & Logistics' innovation unit, ""Data is today's most valuable resource, and the players who possess the most and use it effectively will come out ahead". The Bolloré Transport & Logistics' innovation unit was launched in 2016 with the express purpose of utilising artificial intelligence.
As well as identifying new processes and service potentials within the digital revolution the unit also promotes these opportunities to the wider Bolloré group, it does this by identifying artificial intelligence opportunities that are valuable to everyone. Levasseur believes that artificial intelligence "allows employees and businesses to increase productivity and speed, and provide added value services to customers at decreased costs".
Developments in artificial intelligence combined with mathematical and algorithmic expertise from the Machine Learning discipline means that computers have the ability to continuously learn and adapt without the need for constant reprogramming. Relatively new vocations such as data scientists and big data specialists focus specifically on using new applications to process structured data.
The analytical tools developed here can also be used on unstructured input such as news articles, social media content, videos, pictures and sounds. This generates predictive models pertinent transport and logistical activities. For example, if this analysis picks up news of a strike at a key port artificial intelligence can recognise the importance of this news and will alert transport managers to reroute shipments through alternate locations.
Artificial intelligence is also playing a role in other parts of the transport and logistic sector. In automated warehouses and distribution centres artificial intelligence is being used to enable robots to carry out various tasks.
In some instances visual recognition is allowing artificial intelligence to enhance shuttles that collect goods for shipping by also enabling them to identify when shelves need restocking. This technology can potentially also allow machines to take inventory whilst performing other tasks in the warehouse or distribution centre.
Artificial intelligence will also allow the information collected by one robot to share its data with all the other robots in the system or a central computer. This allows for a more unified system. At Bolloré Logistics the use of artificial intelligence in this way has allowed staff to experience a faster, deeply enhanced, real-time knowledge of warehouse content and flows.
However it is important to remember that for artificial intelligence to be fully effective and efficient, human discipline and rigor is essential. As Levasseur observed artificial intelligence is "only as good as the data that is put in the system".

He's starred in some of the biggest sci-fi and fantasy films of the past 20 years, as well as earning plaudits for a slew of blockbuster and critically acclaimed flicks.
And, after a foray into the world of comic books as the one and only Jim Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, it looks as though Gary Oldman is up for a return to the world of superheros, because he basically just told Marvel Studios to pick up the phone and give him a call.
Prior to picking up his award for outstanding actor at last night's SAG Awards he had a chat on the red carpet about what the future may hold, with the 59-year-old Darkest Hour star revealing he hasn't had an offer to pick up a role in MCU, but he's not ruling it out – thanks to one of his sons.
Casually dropping the biggest hint ever, he chirped: 'Marvel hasn't called me. But now that you mentioned it, if they're tuning in, my son wants me to!'
The actor has three sons, Alfie, 29, Gulliver, 20, and 18-year-old Charlie, and one of them is evidently keen for their dad to pick up a role in another comic book blockbuster.
That said, would Gary want to be on the side of the good guys again, or could we see him taking on a more nefarious role?
If he was going to move away from playing the right side of the tracks there's at least two possible roles in the upcoming MCU roster that the actor could own any day.
A supporting role as Black Cat's master-burgler father Walter Hardy in Black and Silver, Sony's planned spin-off to Spiderman, could be just the ticket.
Or, in a more controvertial move, the actor certainly has the chops to bring Norman Osborn to life – though it may be hard for him to handle the more physical side of the Green Goblin – if Spider-man Homecoming's sequel decides to bring in one of Webhead's most popular foes.
Then again there's endless possibilities for Gary in the MCU, as with the likes of Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 a certainity there's a gamut of massive Marvel villains for him to get his teeth into: Mephisto and The High Evolutionary to name but two.
Whatever the decision when it comes to a role Marvel couldn't hope to find a better actor, as the British star is now one of Hollywood's most celebrated actors.
Across the year's he's won plaudits for everything from 1989's The Firm to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011).
His most recent role has as Wisnton Churchill has already earned him SAG, and Darkest Hour is being hotly tipped as an Oscars beast following Gary's wins at the Golden Globes and last night's ceremony.

Business and Human Rights
Under international law States must respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of people in their jurisdiction. Businesses, in turn, must respect human rights by not infringing them and addressing those adverse impacts on human rights with which they are involved.
Members of Doughty Street often act in claims for remedies of adverse impacts on human rights caused by businesses. We have assisted in major litigation relating to issues such as the dumping of allegedly toxic waste; asbestos related diseases suffered by former employees; alleged complicity in the torture of environmental protestors; oil spills devastating affected communities; and the forcible displacement of villagers from farming land.
We also advise businesses regarding compliance with their human rights obligations and on non-judicial grievance mechanisms. In relation to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, we have advised on issues such as: the human rights impacts of major sporting events (ADHRB v Formula One World Championship Ltd), the environmental and human rights impact of oil and gas facilities (Crude Accountability and others v the KPO Consortium, Kazakhstan), discrimination of foreign seafarers (Hazel D'Silva v Carnival UK Plc) and the provision of security services in conflict environments (LPHR v G4S).
The transparency in supply chain provision under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, together with associated statutory guidance, entered into force on 30 October 2015 and requires 'commercial organisations' to prepare a 'slavery and human trafficking statement', which must include the steps they will take to ensure that there is no slavery and human trafficking taking place in its supply chain, or in any part of its own business.
Whilst UK-based companies should be aware of their obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, our view is that due diligence will not be sufficient to stop modern slavery in supply chains. What is required is a multi-stakeholder response, involving companies, unions, NGOs and the State, to ascertain the best way of curtailing these violations. The new law will prompt thorough risk assessment review throughout the supply chains; including forensic investigations of the supply chain tiers deemed to be at high risk of hiding slavery, child and forced labour as well as facilitating human trafficking.
For more information about Doughty Street's work in this area please see our corporate governance and policy page.

Is it the impending snow storm, reading "Julie & Julia" on a Kindle, or gazing at the photos in Don Pintabona's "The Shared Table: Cooking with Spirit for Family & Friends?" No one in my family really cares. They're just happy that I decided to cook. It's cold outside. Comfort food recipes come to mind. I couldn't find duck legs for casoulet and I'd made beef bourgounian last week. I didn't feel like the work that's involved in eggplant rolatini. What else? Some approximation of my Nonna's chicken cacciatore would be fabulous. I put two 9×12 dishes in the oven — on convection to speed things up. I was hungry. It's quite a simple recipe. It calls for (I love saying that) onions, white potatoes, chicken (perferrably dark meat with or without skin and bones), salt, Italian seasoning, and a lot of oil. Toss it together and bake for a long time, usually until the potatoes are done. Serve with a salad featuring olive oil and red wine vinegar for an authentic Nonna experience. For a 21st century non-toxic experience, use organic when possible, especially for animal products.
I wanted something dessert-y, too. I grabbed "One Bite at a Time: Nourishing Recipes for Cancer Survivors and their Friends" by Rebecca Katz. It's a deceiving name — the cookbook is for anyone who wants to eat nourishing, soul-satisfying food. I found a lovely gluten-free recipe for an almond torte.
Flourless Almond Torte
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups almond meal
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8-inch round baking pan with Spectrum Coconut Oil Spray and dust with almond meal. (I like Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour.)
- Beat eggs white with salt until stiff peaks form. There are two tricks success: the eggs white must be at room temperature and there must be no yolk or fat in the whites. Set aside
- Beat egg yolks, gradually adding maple syrup until thick and foamy.
- Add almond and vanilla extracts and almond meal and mix well.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter gently.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool on rack for 10 minutes. Unmold to cool completely.
- Serve with fresh whipped cream and berries or dusted with cocoa or confectioners' sugar or simply naked.
I am going to try this recipe with some modification. I'll let you know what happends. And because several individuals who will remain unnamed prefer something chocolate after a meal, I made a recipe for chocolate financiers from "Gluten-Free Girl" by Shawna James Ahern. I put the batter into madelaine molds instead. They're tinier and more French that way.
Chocolate Financiers
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup almond flour
4 Tablespoons cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 egg whites, beaten
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter the madelaine molds.
- Melt butter.
- Mix all dry ingredients.
- Add egg whites and extract.
- Stir in melted butter until batter is smooth.
- Pour into molds.
- Bake 10 minutes. Cool on rack for 10 minutes. Unmold and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Myanmar: Bagan to Mandalay/
Flying from the ancient temple city of Bagan to the 'last kingdom' of Mandalay, we were the only passengers on this leg as the aircraft operates Yangon – Bagan –Mandalay – Yangon. All passengers had left at Bagan with only Frankie and I boarding for the flight from Bagan. Talk about premier service!
After arriving in Myanmar's second largest city there was no time to rest – adventure awaits.
U Bein Bridge
I know it sounds like one of those locations were you may think 'oh how exciting… a bridge'. I have to say I did think that on the way to the location, but I was immediately taken aback.
The 100 year old Teak Bridge and its surrounding lake was spectacular.
The day we were there it was drizzling – in some ways that added to the spectacular mystical atmosphere
Watching the weather beaten old men sitting on the low bridge with their lengths of bamboo for fishing catching a few little fish with just a flick of the wrist.
Mahar Gandar Yone Monastery
After the visiting the bridge we wandered over to the Mahar Gandar Yone Monastery. The monastery is famed in the area for allowing the tourists to see the process of dishing out the main daily meal to the many monks that reside at the monastery. Monks traditionally only eat 2 meals a day. Arising at 4am for a breakfast meal followed by a single lunch meal.
Sagaing Hill Silk Weavers
A visit to the region is not complete without visiting the silk weavers of Sagaing Hill where we managed to find the perfect gift for one of our friends back in Canberra, a Longyi, the Burmese sarong.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Emergent Biosolutions stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Emergent Biosolutions stock: 1. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". Post 1Q19, we reiterate our Overweight rating and our 12- month price target of $75. EBS continues to be the leader in the biodefense field, and the acquisition of Adapt and PaxVax leverage the company's historical expertise, while further diversifying revenue away from BioThrax. We continue to believe the company's business is a lot more durable than the Street is giving it credit for, and we expect Emergent to extend a number of its current contracts beyond current estimates, as well as bring some significant pipeline product to market over time. Emergent does not have the risk of commercial insurance reimbursement or payer pricing pressures on the majority of its portfolio." (5/2/2019) 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Emergent BioSolutions' recent acquisitions of PaxVax and Adapt Pharma have expanded the company's presence in the public health threats market. Its anthrax vaccine, NuThrax's regulatory application is under review, with a decision expected in the first half of 2019. We are positive on Emergent's spin-off of its biosciences business into a separate publicly traded company as it resulted in reduction of the cost structure. Notably, the company derives majority of its revenues from BioThrax sales. Hence, its sole dependence on BioThrax for revenues is a headwind. Moreover, Emergent depends on certain single-source suppliers for key materials and services, which are necessary for manufacturing BioThrax. This, in turn, raises a concern. Shares of the company have underperformed the industry so far this year. Estimates have narrowed ahead of Q1 earnings. Emergent has a mixed record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters."

In Which We Sense His Mild Resistance
Chicken Little
by ALEX CARNEVALE
dir. Ariel Kleiman
94 minutes
Right around 1000 years after the death of Jesus Christ there was a German king named Otto who was short and somewhat squalid, although well-built. He was the second of his name and married a Greek princess named Theophania. As a result of this, he became passable at speaking the language. The couple had a child who was also named Otto.
Otto was a God-fearing Christian in a lot of ways. He believed in Jesus and the lord and all that. But when there was a smattering of talk about an uprising against him, he invited all the people involved to a big dinner and killed them at the table. They bled into their meals.
This was in Rome, and the treasonous men were Italians, or something like it. A year or two later he was fighting against a Muslim army in Greece. He had the superior fighting force, which is all that mattered in war before gunpowder. Yet a lot of Romans abandoned his standard and his force collapsed.
Otto was driven from the battlefield. He had nothing to his name, so he disguised himself as a hardworking peasant. Without any of his royal trappings, he was forced to rely on his own godly virtues and pretend to be no one. It was a good thing he spoke Greek, so he could carry off the lie.
Greeks care for their own, so Otto made it back in one piece. If he had married a woman from Gaul, he would not have been so lucky. (European diners were fortunate to have Theophania, too: she brought the fork to the region.) Otto died a bit after that anyway, from malaria, at the age of 28.
By all evidence, Otto was not a good man. But he was the sort of bad man who thought he was a good man, and when I saw Vincent Cassel's performance in Partisan, that is what I thought of. There are two modern things in Partisan: the presence of a small handgun wielded by a ten year old boy, and what appears to be a motorcycle helmet. The rest of it is an old story.
Gregori (Vincent Cassel) lives among a gaggle of women at a compound in the Balkans. He is kind to his wives, and when there is a problem, they come running to him. We see him recruiting a new mother and her child into his sunny, dilapidated lair. He is something like the Pied Piper, who was also German. The Pied Piper led a bunch of rats out of a village by piping away. (The rodents drowned.) Then when the village elders didn't pay, he did the same thing to all the children.
It is a recurring meme in these Eastern European stories that in every good thing, there is a little bit of bad. Gregori is like that. He provides for all the people in his little cult. He gets them food, sex; he genuinely cares for everyone. The children are the ones with the raw deal — they are assassins sent with earplugs to murder whatever target Gregori selects. Gregori tells them, perhaps not incorrectly, that these are bad men, and so they are doing a good thing.
Gregori is a lot better than the Pied Piper, although perhaps not by a lot. One kid, Leo, comes into the compound at an advanced age. He gets very protective of a chicken and lashes out at Gregori when the time of the bird's execution grows near. The boy and his mother are never seen again. We do not know what happens to them exactly, although it seems unlikely that they are murdered.
Alex (Jeremy Chabriel) observes these events with interest. He does not really want to kill anyone or anything, and was inspired by his friend's good opinion of a chicken. Since he is the only one resisting this lifestyle in any way, Gregori becomes sensitive to Alex's mild resistance, as if he was all this time waiting to be called out for sins.
Cassel is exciting to watch. Without his dominant charisma, Partisan would be a Kiarostami-esque slice of life. As Gregori, he gives his all in a role which perhaps required one more dimension. We see Gregori as a decent leader, and a manipulative villain, but most men have more than two sides. Actually, some men only have one side, but sociopaths usually have more than two.
Mr. Cassel, whose best ever role was his performance as French gangster Jacques Mesrine, is just so innately disturbing, even seeing him without a beard retains a sinister element. Gregori probably should have been played by someone with a bit more natural grace; instead the character is like a gluttonous snake wrapped around a decaying alligator carcass.
There is not much more to tell of the story. Alex is sent out to kill a man. He does his duty, and weeps his way back home. He runs into a real boy, who fondles his gun and hands it back to him. A sense of right and wrong is beginning to develop. Director Ariel Kleiman is an Australian Jew, and he has the same fascination with moral grey areas that many of his background find intrinsically determinative. Since we are neither one thing or another, could this indeterminacy be the key to why bad things happen to good people?
Reading early German history is a master class in such ideas, since the Germans seem to have derived their sense of justice from politics rather than God. It is roughly the same in Gregori's cult, and this argument from power is generally a lot less merciful than verdicts of the Christian faith. Partisan is so titled because it is what we call a side in that useless war between earthly ideals — there can be no such division in His eyes.
Then again, Otto believed in God and he still made all those people go away. That is what Alex does to Gregori, in all likelihood, although Kleiman never shows us the climactic murder. In the final moments of Partisan, Gregori never tries to disarm the boy, or change the fate to which all his actions have led. He only protests verbally, by saying he gave the boy everything he has — which is true. It isn't much.

The College of New Rochelle is pleased to offer it's unique 15 week graduate level course in Phototherapy Training, for LCATs to earn 37.5 CEs. This course will be held for 15 weeks on Thursdays, beginning January 24, 2019 from 4 - 6 PM on the New Rochelle campus, with 30 minutes additional online time. Therapeutic uses of photography have been of great interest to creative art therapists and as the instructor for this course, I have been a pioneer in developing this unique Phototherapy training program. This course will integrate contemporary concepts of neuroscience to demonstrate how the power of visual imagery, captured within the photographic image, provides a spontaneous and creative access to deeper levels of 'implicit' memories and experiences. In this course, students will first be taught necessary technical skills in a fully equipped Mac Lab, using the latest Adobe Photoshop software. Other photographic media such as cell phone cameras and editing software apps, will also be demonstrated. The students will then be led through a series of creative directives and shown, through online and classroom demonstrations, how to utilize the photographic medium to uncover and explore unconscious material. By first experiencing this creative process, students will then be able to integrate photographic modalities into their clinical work with their patients.
Our first offering of our Dream Seminar for currently practicing licensed creative art therapists seeking Continuing Education Credits during our Fall 2018 semester has been a great success and we intend to continue to offer relevant courses for active LCATs who are seeking CEs for license renewal. This is a wonderful way for LCATs to get all the required credits for the entire three year cycle for license renewal.

Dear Editor:
I was very interested to read that Nathan Yager's murder conviction was reversed. I was a member of the jury that convicted him. His plea was insanity until the last day of the trial, when it was changed to crime of passion. The jury sent a note to the judge asking the reason for the change. The judge sent a note back to us saying we did not need to know that.
The whole trial was somewhat confusing and I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I also thought that a 42-year sentence was extreme, but figured that was something else I didn't need to know. Please continue to keep us up to date on what's happening with this case.

Lil D has the pleasure of having both her Auntie's up to visit during the same week. Thank goodness for this because D and I took full advantage of them being here. We logged in several hours of free baby sitting service.
With one week remaining in her 16 month, Lil D has made substantial growth in several areas. For instance:
- Climbing up stairs is her biggest pleasure these days. When we don't hear her we know to look for her on the stairs because she's making her way up. Of course we could purchase $200 worth of kiddie gates, but who has time for this? She will climb up and then call to use to come get her down, because she knows she hasn't mastered this skill yet.
- She has taken to using her little pink booster car as a place to sit when she wants to watch t.v. We have used it as a "time-out" chair. {See video}
- She is still holding strong at 21 pounds, and continues to grow taller. We are waiting for the big 30 mark to put her in her forward-facing car seat. I don't know when this will eve happen?!
- Lil D loves to "write" and she is showing an inclination in her left hand.
- She insists on doing task by herself (i.e. brush her teeth, combing her hair, walking with out holding hands, and of course climbing steps.
- Lil D loves the beach, and water in general. We planned to enroll her in a water safety class and our gym, but it hasn't happened yet.
- Lil D continues to fuss when it's time to go to sleep, whether it be a nap or bedtime in the evening.
- Throwing has been a new skill that Lil D has perfected. Everything she comes into contact with, including food, get heaved across the room.
- She loves to try to open the refrigerator, and draws, and closets . . . I think she has a thing for doors.
- Head banging and pulling hair are the newest, as in two weeks ago, quirks Lil D has developed.
- No coherent words besides "EAT"
- The final new skill Lil D has perfected is taking off her diaper. Not when she has soiled it, but right after you put on a fresh one. SMH...

This past weekend, I watched a remarkable documentary on public television. It was titled "Locked Out: The Fall of Massive Resistance" and was produced by the University of Virginia Center For Politics along with WCVE PBS Richmond. The program follows the legal, civil and personal battle for school integration in Virginia.
As I watched, I felt disoriented and sucker-punched. Why? The ugly, ugly words coming out of the mouths of Virginia's leading politicians, law and order types, teachers and just regular citizens took my breath away. As if those times weren't bad enough, I felt as though I was re-living that prejudice and ignorance today as I listen to the tenets of the Tea Party, militia groups and still and yet, our leading politicians.
To hear speakers from 60 years ago espouse defamatory words about American citizens who just happen to have dark skin made me wince. There were politicians in high office, i.e. the Governor, who swore that, even after the passage of Brown v. Board Of Education of Topeka in 1954, integration would never happen in Virginia. If it took armed state militia and a closing down of all public schools, so be it. It did, but the state government had to bow to the new federal law. However, to hear mainstream, elected leaders calling integration "not democratic" or saying that segregation was one of the mainstay founding principles of this country was reason and justice twisted about as far as discrimination and hatred would permit. The argument for states' rights in support of segregation was as lame then as the states' rights platform is today for gun ownership or against mandatory health coverage. Show me one major issue or event where the cry for states' rights was actually made FOR rights, rather than AGAINST them.
My stomach turned over and over as I listened, but also because today's Tea Party and militias condemn our government in its entirety using the same anti-government catch phrases. Even the GOP, in all of its offensive whining and sore-losing tactics over health care reform, has echoed similar foul responses that demean and distort our Constitutional principles. "Repeal and reform" is just a cover-up for saying, "Get that Darkie out of the White House."
You know that is their ultimate purpose, proven once again when Senator Mitch McConnell continues to accuse the administration's attempts at fiscal overhaul to be just another way of bailing out the large banks. McConnell continues to rant about how "un-American" financial reform is. Nah. He and his cronies want to see President Obama go down, back to the plantation.
I urge you to find a copy of this documentary and watch it. Perhaps the part of it that had the greatest emotional impact on me was to watch these "locked out"children repeat the lessons taught by their parents, lessons calmly, reasonably, yet persistently encouraging their children to walk up that hill to that new school. Yes, they instructed the children to say nothing, just keep on walking. The wisdom of those parents is really what won the day for all minorities trying to get a fair and equal education. There was such strength, quiet as it might have been, in the teachings of the parents.
Frank Rich, in his Op-Ed article in the New York Times this past Sunday, confronted this same issue of prejudice disguised as Americanism, only difference being he cited these blatant examples from recent days. Today, a giant of an educator and civil rights activist, Dorothy Height, passed away. Her 98 years on this earth should be honored by instructing those who deem their biased, militant America to be the America of all of us, to take their narrow, self-serving ideas and stick it where the sun don't shine. We should never cave in to these reactionary, self-loathing, miserable people. Ever.
Rent it, buy it, watch it: "Locked Out: The Fall of Massive Resistance". Then, thank your lucky stars we have such an intelligent, calm President who is without a doubt, the product of all the battles for equal rights that came before his time. There is no better antidote than President Obama for what ails us.
