By Federation for American
Immigration Reform (FAIR), FAIR Issue Brief, October 1999
One of the overlooked ways
in which immigration harms the American workforce is displacement, that is,
when established workers, whether natives or immigrants, lose their jobs to
new immigrants, often illegal newcomers, who will work for substandard
Cases of Displacement
[A] clear case of
displacement happened in the tomato industry in the 1980s. A group of
unionized legal border crossers picked the tomato crop for many years in San
Diego County, and were making $4.00 an hour in 1980. In the 1980s, growers
switched to a crew of illegal aliens and lowered the wage to $3.35. Almost
all the veteran workers who were unwilling to work at the reduced rate
disappeared from the tomato fields.
Sometimes those displaced by
new foreign workers are other foreign workers. In the raisin grape industry
of California, Mestizos (the Spanish-speaking population of Mexico) were
laid off and replaced with lower cost Mixtecs (the indigenous people of
Mexico). According to a study of the industry, the Mixtecs "have driven the
Mestizos out of the market."
Agriculture has many other
instances of employers' switching to immigrant workers (legal and illegal)
to increase their profits. For example, Hispanic migrants have displaced
native black workers in the Georgia peach industry and migrants have
replaced natives and previous immigrants in the cucumber and apple
industries in Michigan. The melon industry found it possible to replace
unionized crews of mostly native workers doing manual packing in the field
with lower-paid Mexican field crews in tandem with the introduction of
mechanized packing houses…
Similar phenomena have swept
over the hotel industry as well, with immigrant workers displacing native
black workers en masse. In Los Angeles, unionized black janitors had
been earning $12 an hour, with benefits. But, with the advent of
subcontractors who [employ] roaming crews of Mexican and El Salvadoran
laborers, the pay dropped to the then minimum wage of $3.35 an hour. Within
two years, the unionized crews had all been displaced by the foreign ones,
and without any skills, the native force did not as a rule, find new work.

Penis enlargement devices are designed with the aim of bestow continuous stress known as "traction" to the penis in order with the purpose of lengthen and enhance it. The main principle beyond the traction device is that the human flesh is designed to adapt in an attempt to outside stress. This principle was applied in an attempt to the penis, the more you apply the stress to your penis in the long run, the bigger it becomes.
Nowadays, traction devices are defying in front of pills and exercises for the top spot on the market but a big issue still remains "Are penis enlargement devices harmless in order to use?"
Frankly whenever I was doing research into this industry to find the solution for myself, I was skeptical about those devices and wondering how does it works? And are there any scientific backups beyond it? to my surprise, it turns out that there are a lot of companies offering the devices with complete solution, customer assist to lengthen and enlarge your penis. Those are well-established firms and they have been around for years, but also too much of them are launching current brands with the purpose of catch up with the trends
If you are looking for a solution in order to improve your penis, I can tell you that there are a lot of out there, diverse methods, and many products from diverse companies but among those, penis enlargement device is one of my favorite methods. The reason is this method is well known in an attempt to be safe and norm beyond is backup by too much doctors. Additionally it is very simple to apply and convenient.
In addition in an attempt to costly study and development, these devices are usually manufactured based on surgical-grade specifications to ensure safety and effectiveness. A helpful quality tool is usually expensive but fit for it as you definitely don't desire to take any risk especially with your penis, right?
For this very reason, one of my first pick of penis enlargement device would come to be SizeGenetics gadget. SizeGenetics Penis Enhancement Traction Device has been around for years and bearing the CE symbol of conformity with the quality and safety standards of the European Community and is the type 1 remedial device certification. These prove that SizeGenetics tool has been checked up and inspected by professionals and harmless to use.
To conclude, penis enhancement devices are generally safe provided that you select the correct ones. My advice is with the aim of do your research first, don't buy a cheap one, get out what are the corporations in the industry, get the well established one, select out where is the gadget manufactured, and whether or not it's backed by studies and medical doctors. If you decide to proceed with the apply of a traction device, always listen with the purpose of your body and consult a medical practitioner if you have any questions

Snettisham goes barking mad at fete as record numbers enter dog show
A host of local organisations supported the Snettisham fete with stalls and the fun dog show attracted more entries than ever before on Saturday.
Friday evening was too wet and windy to start putting up tents and early on Saturday morning fete co-ordinator Barney Sheldon arrived at the playing field shortly before an army of volunteers set to work on the avenue of attractions in a variety of marquees.
She said: "This is the first time I've ever done anything like this and I'm so grateful to everyone who helped; it was incredible how we all pulled together and got the job done."
With the towering spire of Snettisham Church overlooking the area, the classic car show was well supported with interesting vehicles and a public vote was held to choose the favourite car.
Visitor at the fete three-year- old Iris Higham danced to the sounds of the Kingswingers Jazz quartet who performed two sets during the afternoon that was followed by pupils from Snettisham Primary School singing for the audience.
Parish Clerk Simon Bower said: "On behalf of the Parish Council, I'd like to thank Barney and all the volunteers for an amazing job; there's been a steady stream of people all day and to top it all the rain has held off."

Congratulations to Professor Tim Inglis and the Encompass Consortium for winning the Discovery Award of the Longitude prize
Dr Tim Inglis and his team has won a Discovery Award seed-funding grant to help further develop their ideas for their Longitude Prize application and create a diagnostic test that helps solve the problem of global antibiotic resistance. This prize money will assist them in further refining their diagnostic assay called the flow cytometer-assisted antimicrobial susceptibility test (FAST). It uses flow cytometry to measure antimicrobial resistance in less than three hours, compared to 24 hours by the standard approach use in diagnostic laboratories. They now aim to miniaturise and automate the FAST method for near point-of-care use.

Review written for Evenwood (Barossa) Shiraz
Quite possibly the best thing to come out of Australia since they began exporting camels to Saudi Arabia. Like those camels, this wine appears to have a pedigree not matching the low price tag. It drinks like a bottle easily in excess of $30, has a deep burgundy colour and an aroma that makes you think of cherries but if you dont like cherries then it smells nothing like that and goes extremely well when snacking on beef jerky or dark chocolate. Thoroughly recommended and Im definitely buying again.

Unlock the value of CRM
In today's complex business world a customer's perception is reality. No business can afford to take the customer for granted. And, customers sometimes get things wrong. Customers are an asset though they are not listed as an asset in balance sheets and financial reports. Customer Relationship Management CRM requires to be placed in the centre of an organization's business process because customers recognize when an enterprise does not value them or care about their needs.
Companies that possess knowledge about their customers can use it to their profitable advantage and are wildly successful. Knowing in particular what buyers want always helps organizations to build and deliver the precise solutions to meet customers' needs. They offer their products at the right time, right locations, at the right price, and with the suitable warranties. Companies which are CRM savvy deliver their products and services with the right features and support their customers to create positive buying experiences.
Conversely, organizations which don't focus on their customers often fail. A bonding with the individuals who might buy their products is essential, but for some reason, many miss this absolutely critical aspect of business. All too often, organizations spend their energy on everything but lack to have conversations with current and potential customers.
The American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) reports indicate that within the Personal Computers (PC) category, customers perceived Apple as the best company in terms of customer service management. Apple's baseline scores are excellent. Apple focuses on product innovation and customer service round the clock. Similarly, in the major appliances category, as per the ACSI survey General Electric company (GE) stands at no. 1. Among many other things, GE's blog is a very good way for the organizations to keep in touch with their customers, and GE is one of the few corporate that has its own blogs especially to sort out customer's problems.
Smart organizations believe that it's easier to keep existing customers happy than attract new ones. Imagine the amount of revenue is spent on trying to attract new customers to a business when all you really needed to do is to keep the existing customers happy. The promotional budgets are always higher than the CRM budgets. When you give your existing customers a great customer experience they can work optimistically for you though word of mouth and referrals.
Social media: Complaints spread like wildfire on the Internet. The social media works like wild fire because of its far flung reach. Because of social media we have been more connected than we were in past. Today on social sites people share their good and bad experiences and the post can go viral through social media, highlighting poor experience of a customer about a company to millions of people. Simultaneously, it can work wonders too if smartly used. For example, Lay's created a feeding frenzy across the social media landscape with "Do Us a Flavor," challenging consumers to create new Lay's potato-chip flavors for the chance to win $1 million or 1 percent of the winning chip flavor's net sales. The campaign was rolled out to U.S. junk-food junkies in mid-2012, the campaign generated close to 4 million flavor ideas through a Facebook app and SMS. A panel of chefs, celebrity foodies and flavor experts selected three finalists: Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken & Waffles and Sriracha. Parent company Frito-Lay developed and released all three and named Cheesy Garlic Bread the winner in May 2013, after more than 1 million consumers voted via Facebook, Twitter or text.
For an organization to become victorious with their CRM initiatives, it is important to focus on the two key strategies technology and CRM strategy. These two strategies are the sum-total of planning, development and implementation activities needed to achieve a company's customer-related goals. CRM technology is the systems-based application and integration that facilitates and supports the customer interaction. In order to ensure the highest likelihood for CRM success, the organization needs to invest in technology and a deep insight is also required as to what is realistic. A proper strategy must be put in place in order to correctly implement and deploy technology.
Segmenting your customers rightly, targeting your product and service at them rightly and positioning your product on the right plank are essential. You should understand the different types of customers you deal with. Look at your team and identify members those who are not always putting the customer first. They are dangerous for the team.
Data-Driven Decision Making: At its core, CRM is all about making smart decisions based on good data-capturing. The most important step, but it can also be the most difficult because it involves various changes such cultural change, trends change, technological change, economic change, policies change so on and forth. The problems with each of these are that they are not easily shared, they are often temporary, and they cannot be analyzed if not captured methodically. One of the biggest problems facing decision makers is their inability to use data captured by the employees working directly with customers to make decisions. This is the case because many ERP systems make it difficult for end users to enter data such as call notes into a database. And when simple tasks become difficult, employees stop doing them. Even if you aren't working on a system that makes it easy to enter and share collected data, it is important to get all employees in the habit of entering useful information into the system so it can be used optimally while making strategies and analyzed. The record helps organization when employees leave and walk out of the organization and the data is not lost with their exit.
Enhance your data: There are two primary ways to enhance your data. You can do this internally through marketing efforts to gather more information about your customer base and you can purchase third-party data to enhance what you already have. Analyze your data. Only when you have a culture that is committed to capturing data can you trust the data enough to analyze it and make strategic decisions based on your analysis. You can create reports that measure the performance of your marketing campaigns, the response to your advertising campaigns, existing customer's reactions, new customers who are thinking positively about your product, costing gaps, pricing gaps, distribution gaps, supply chain management gaps, R&D needs etc, etc. It is the best way to inform your institution on changes that need to be made, and it will provide the data you need to make those decisions.
One final thought about CRM: It is not a destination, it is a journey. If your organization makes the decision to undertake a CRM implementation, the process is not over when the system is installed. In fact, it is just a beginning. Once you start, you cannot stop. Therefore, the decision to begin should not be taken vaguely or lightly. However, at once your firm commits to a CRM viewpoint; it will forever change how you do business and how you view your customers. The phrase "the customer is king" is now more true than ever. The abundance of buyer information currently available through the explosion of cloud, social and mobile platforms has enabled buyers to learn about a product before the buying process. Only CRM will help to effectively measure and react with customer engagement.

This masterpiece was released in 1997, limited to 1000 hand numbered copies. Luckily I was able to obtain a copy. Easily one of my favorite grindcore splits. Why not? Two legendary underground bands belting out grindcore madness. What is not to love? So anyway here's my review . . .
Warsore was truly a unique grindcore band. Their energy and rawness has gone unmatched for years. I mean they used a pretty typical formula. Distorted guitar and bass. Nothing over the top. Just loud and distorted. Drumming is typically insane, blasts and what sounds like cymbals being pulverized. The vocals are guttural growls and higher pitched yells. The instruments and vocals blend perfectly. The lyrical content is pretty much political commentary about society. Ranging from disdain to political figures to stealing from the rich to survive, to calling out all the fashion punks out on their bullshit.
I feel like for some reason to this day, bands haven't even come close to matching their intensity. Many have tried and failed, or end up playing overly produced death metal calling it grindcore. Its not that Warsore was the fastest or most technical band ever. Quite the contrary. I believe they just played/recorded with a passion that a lot of bands don't have.
Unholy Grave stuck to the typical grindcore formula also. Grinding guitar/bass with distortion. Blast beats on drums, guttural growls and screams for vocals. I love this side based on just the vocals. The guitar is a little too clean sounding for me not by much though. It reminds me of the 80's hardcore style playing. The drums are pretty much just blasts. The lyrics are what you've come to expect from Unholy Grave, they're all about social and political issues much like Warsore.
Warsore is my favorite band so naturally I liked their side better. Unholy Grave's side is amazing though. It's truly one of the greater grindcore splits to ever come out. But you be the judge . . .

- Answer: 180 miles
- Answer: The phrase refers to the cultures of the world, not geography.
- Answer: 100 miles
- Answer: The Prime Meridian -- and its opposite, the International Date Line -- are lines of Longitude called meridians. There are 360 whole-numbered meridians on earth, divided into 180-degree halves, represented by the two meridians described, above.
Distances east and west of those lines are measured in degrees (60), minutes (60) and seconds (60).
Because the Earth is round, the mileage between meridians can be different at different latitudes. The differences range from between zero kilometers at the poles to 111.320 Km at the Equator.
(At either pole, you can walk around the pole, and essentially walk around the earth by passing through all the lines of Longitude on earth.)

Men Do Laundry and Women Play Sports
Middle School. Best Defense. Champion team 7th and 8th grades.
Club soccer. State with Milan. Inwood Soccer Club of Houston, TX.
High school. Juggling champion—for three years in a row.
College. South Regional Soccer Tournament (2012). Lone Star College-North Harris VS Texas A&M.
As an athlete: I wish sport shoes had universal sizing. Again, as an athlete—not a woman athlete—but an athlete. I would have found the soccer shoes I was looking for yesterday if I had not been faced with the fact that the store I was in had ran out of "women shoes" and "just" had not gotten another shipment. I stared aimlessly at the wall that nicely displayed an (unnecessary) variety of over-sized indoor soccer shoes that will never fit me. I dazed at shoes labeled, advertised, and passed as "men's shoes" for athletes. I understand women were not allowed to play sports when this way of labeling, advertising...and thinking...of sizing and shoes was created, BUT here you have a 27 year old woman looking for an athlete shoe in 2017 facing a barrier in her "access" to adequate shoes for an activity she does along men (men who in 2017 now also do things like...cook and clean).
Thought: Actually...I wonder how many men were cooking and cleaning back then too. In rural Mexico, I once met a woman who worked multiple jobs and sometimes just did not have time to do her family's laundry with the necessary frequency. Being aware of how much his mother worked—and noticing the toll the type of work she did took on her body: Her teenage son decided to do his own laundry to take this burden off of his mother. But he would do his laundry at night.
The laundry facilities, as they are in most rural communities, were outdoors. And her son did his laundry at night to hide what he was doing from the community. In this community it is shameful for men do their own laundry and other house labor. So, to 1) prevent the community from humiliating his mother and to 2) avoid being shamed by males in the community he would do his laundry at night.
He hid from the light.
Not realizing the power of the gesture, this young man missed opportunities to challenge gender norms and the superior position of the male sex in his community. An opportunity was missed each time his hands touched his laundry. Who would have thought there is such power in touching laundry?
I sat in on this conversation between a woman and one of my aunts as we were driven through the high waters that remained from long hours of pouring rain. We rode in a truck, the woman and I shared the backseat and my elderly aunt sat in the front passenger's seat. My aunt, like the resilient woman with the laundry-washing son, was from this town too but now lived in a city with her husband, children, and grandchildren. Startled, my aunt explained to the woman there has no wrongdoing in her son's action! Further, my aunt stressed to the woman—who each time I glanced at had a genuine smile on her face—that her son's decision to wash his own laundry was an inevitable result of their lives' condition and that he should not feel ashamed of what he was doing. She added that the community needed to understand the reason why her son did his own laundry and that he should feel free to do his own laundry even under different circumstances. Still smiling, the woman stared through the windshield and onto the distance as she carefully listened to my aunt. Now that I think about it, each time I saw this woman she carried—through the town, her conditions, and circumstances—a smile.
The water was brown because the roads were not paved like they are out in the city, but they were caressed with dirt and the rushing water carried this dirt. Like us—trying to make our way out onto the hills to harvest cacti fruit—I stared through the tinted back window at loose cows trying to make their way through the rushing high waters to get someplace too. The skies were gray. I wondered who the cows belonged to and then wondered how many of the children in that household would assist in searching for these cows after the waters receded. Everyone in the truck shared the hope that these cows didn't end up where we were headed, because loose cows tend to find their way to the buckets and steal (eat) the harvest.
But anyway, back to the shoes...
The scavenging parade would have been less of a burden if all of the boxes were out, near, above, or underneath the display so that I could try on different pairs until I found the right fit. No, actually...the whole parade would have been avoided if women were included in our socially constructed concept of 'athlete.' Need I mention the male employee at the previous store I visited assumed I was asking for indoor soccer shoes for a male? I was shopping alone. He kept on referring to the potential user of the shoes I asked about as "he." After a number of "hes" I found room in his breathless explanation of what different soccer shoes are used for to clarify the shoes were for "me." I did not need this explanation of soccer shoes because I have played soccer for almost twenty years and have used different soccer vessels over the course of almost twenty years. I didn't care to ask of he thought they were for a son, brother, boyfriend, or husband. That didn't matter.
I left both stores with no shoes.
Like men who do their own laundry, women who play sports are invisible in mainstream cultures. The fact that we cannot see either the men who do their own laundry or the women who play sports does not mean they do not exist. We share societies with multidimensional people—what are are we going to do with our multidimensional positions of privilege? How do we allocate space on different platforms for those in disadvantaged positions? There is more than one answer to each these questions. In some of these answers we are in the picture—assisting in creative ways. In other answers we are out of the way. In these answers we step aside to make way for people who—like a woman standing through an unnecessary explanation of soccer shoes—hold their own knowledge.

|Print Media Clippings - Architectural Style - Shingle
|The Shingle style is an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture, which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the Eastlake style in Queen Anne architecture. In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial. The plain, shingled surfaces of colonial buildings were adopted, and their massing emulated. Aside from being a style of design, the style also conveyed a sense of the house as continuous volume. This effect—of the building as an envelope of space, rather than a great mass, was enhanced by the visual tautness of the flat shingled surfaces, the horizontal shape of many Shingle-style houses, and the emphasis on horizontal continuity, both in exterior details and in the flow of spaces within the houses.

Don't Shout at the Telly Christmas Special: The New Atheism
This Don't Shout at the Telly Christmas special, provides the perfect antidote to New Atheist whingeing this festive season. spiked editor Brendan O'Neill argues that New Atheism is far worse than the religious idea that humanity is guided by a supernatural being. Indeed, it promotes a misanthropic view of humans as little more than bundles of genes. For those who don't believe in God, but do believe in humanity, how should we view religion? O'Neill argues for tolerance. That means we should be free to express our beliefs as we see fit, and others should be free to criticise and even ridicule those beliefs. This fast-paced conversation puts radical humanism and the need to explain what is great about human beings centre stage. Far better than dull Christmas telly and unwanted rows with relatives, this spirited film is one to mull over during the holidays.

Watching this debate I feel that some very strong points have been made for instance the young man in the sky blue blazer mentioned the fact that 'an atheist is not someone who dose not believe in nothing it is some one who simply dose not believe in god'. SO why is that believe of some what less value compared to some one who dose believe in a god????
Me myself I have no religion and I admit that there are times I select different parts from different rebellions to help myself to have a better understanding of life.

This is awesome! And it ll hurt me not to be a part of this! This are the kind of messages we as young people need! Stop leaving in fantasies and face the realk world, make the right choices and do the right things we can do it!

Brilliant programme should be on TV great one for Christmas too-best of your on the sofas since the abortion one. Keep them coming.
Geraldine said:
I think the guy on the sofa who says atheism is hollow is right but I also think sky pilots should toughen up and be prepared for ridicule.
Frisia said:
Mr O'Neill is very engaging indeed, very thoughtful points by all on the sofa too-hmmm made me think-not sure where I stand on God but I do know we are not monkeys.
Johnno said:
Freedom of religion, tolerance, all good stuff. Why do people get so sensitve about veil wearing though. If you must wear one then at least stick up for yourself and stop whining about being offended by those of us with less anti-social taste in clothing.
Julie Perry said:
Great programme and discussion. I don't equate veil wearing with hoodies although I think it perfectly legitimate to do so. Veil wearing is horrible as it represents a backward view of women and a view of men as just sex beasts. I too wouldn't want them banned but would want to say what are you wearing that for. I consider myself an atheist but it is hardly the most important thing in my life and I love christmas carols and lots of other nonsense religion inspired practices.
Laura Osborne said:
In my opinion any form of extremism, whether that of an evangelist forcing leaflets on you in the street, or an atheist spouting anti religious comments on your facebook feed, is pretty antisocial. I myself am an atheist, but i agree that there is a definite issue presenting itself now, that is affecting how people like me are responded to by those in religious groups.
Atheism is often spouted by people now, who not only lack belief in religion, but also humanity. This is seen in the derogatory way in which so many mock and pick holes in a religion for its concepts or ideologies, rather than its execution of them. One thing that I find I have little patience for, is people who find joy in looking into the logic of a faiths standing and tearing it to shreads. It is this belittling attitude which is so destructive to the relationship between atheists and those with faith. To assume that someone who is a Christian, will always believe and take every detail of the bible literally for example, rather than to acknoweldege that it is in the ideologies within it in which they believe, is a damning discredit to those individuals intelligence.
Like Brendan says, at least when someone believes in a faith and tries to tell you about it they are fighting for something. It actually makes me happy these days when I meet someone who is shouting in the street, what a shame that such passion from atheists can't be poured into something more positive than just always criticising others beliefs and ideologies.
Will said:
It seems mad to me that the UK can justify banning the wearing of the cross on the basis that it is not a requirement of the Christian faith while such bans are not introduced for other faiths. Obviously they shouldn't be banning any expressions of faith, but what is with this seemingly random pick-and-chose philosophy?
The fundamental freedoms that should be afforded to us, of religion, free speech and dare I say, free thought are constantly being eroded because, heaven forbid, we might offend someone. I never set out to offend anyone, but people are becoming so precious about such trivial matters.
I think most atheists are put off by the outward pomposity of 'New Atheism', but I will defend their right to view their opinions on a public platform if they afford me the right to openly disagree with the conduct of 'New Atheism'. Maybe we should try a little harder to be more like bundles of joy than bundles of genes.
Sanjeeda said:
I agree with Brendan about the anti-human perception towards religious people because the new atheism may convey arrogance upon them due to their perspective towards humans in general especially those who believe in God. The new atheism degrades people due to their beliefs and I think they shouldn't view them in a negative light, they may think that religion is corrupt, a false agenda and a naive way of living. But they should be respectful but allowed to express their views to an extent. Brendan has also said that the new atheism inflicts atheists to believe humans are just walking idiots who are programmed to do things but he believes that this is a low way of thinking and there is something special about humans. I also agreed with Brendan towards his perception of freedom of expression but to an extent as he believes that women who wear the face veil are akin to thugs who cover their face to signify anti-social behaviour. Despite that, he's allowed to believe that face veils shouldn't be worn in a democratic, secular society but expressing that it's similar to some chavs who choose to wear it are quite ignorant because he doesn't understand the views on why both groups of people wear it. A woman in a face veil may choose to wear it because she thinks it levels her spirituality and piety with her clothing and conveys herself as personal and close to God, not for shadowing herself from society. Overall, I think freedom of expression is allowed but to a certain level because a high level of hatred towards something may view you as arrogant just like what Brendan has said at first when atheists are self-righteous and put their selves to a higher degree.

I am dissapointed at the views of Brendan when he was referring to muslim women who cover their face to people who cover the top half of their face with hats or who go around with hats on heir head. The reasons for covering their faces are completly different as the muslim women cover their face to be modest within society whilst other people who cover their face is purely to be seen as a thug or to remain anti-social amongst society. I feel that religious people should be free to wear whatever religous items they wish as everyone is equal. I found Brendon to be very igonrant towards people who believe in religion and i think that he hasn't researched enough into why people believe in religion and why they practice it. Also my views on Atheism as i am a religious belover of Sikhism i feel that it is a very negative attitude towards God and his creation.
Tamanna said:
I agree that everyone has the right to freedom of speech but I strongly disagree with the fact that anything is said to religious people. I mean if religious people were to say anything about Atheism they'll be a big argument. You may not believe in God but you have to be aware that there are other people who do. People who wear a veil and a hoodie are two totally different things you can't compare a veil and a hoodie. A hoodie is not mentioned in any religious text and the veil is mentioned in the Quran but it is optional. A person with a hoodie on just likes to look cool but a person with a veil on wants to follow their religion in a stronger way. No-one has the right to judge anyone because that person under the veil could be the nicest person on earth; you just don't know them so you can't start blabbering on about them. It's a person's personal choice in whether they decide to wear a veil and it's the way they see themselves and express themselves no one should be able to say anything about them. I understand that a person may not believe in God or any religion but you should respect them the way they are. I thought that Brendan was very self-centred and arrogant he should have thought about the other people's thoughts around him. It is definitely not permissible to create films saying how anything about anyone's religion or any particular saint or prophet because people will get really offended and it's just not right because you're disrespecting what others believes. You should be more aware when saying things like that.

|Geen leegstand meer in dit pand!
How is possible for someone to 'legally' break into an apartment or house, that they don't own, and call it their new place of residence? Well anything can happen in the Netherlands! But actually, it is no longer legal to squat apartments/houses, but apparently it's still happening. Here's proof of that. Haha! The idea that you can do this is and not get arrested is absolutely ridiculous to me.
Behind our apartment complex is a row of houses, some of which have been sold, bordered up, or knocked down. Enter the squatters and our new neighbors! One day when Jaap came home from work he told me to come look out the balcony and see the squatters in action. There they were, knocking out the cement blocks that cover the windows one by one, which by the way took them many hours. The pictures that you're looking at were taken from our balcony.
Here is a little progression of how the squatters made this place their new home. First you have to break in with at least one chair, bed, and a table to claim residency. Jaap says that once you're in the apartment or house, you have to notify the local police. Haha. Sometimes an arrangement is set up to pay rent, but I don't know how this works and if it actually happens at all.
The sign that they hung next to it says, Geen leegstand meer in dit pand, which means, No vacancy anymore in this building.
You're probably wondering why squatting was even legal to begin with. Hmmm...me too! According to Jaap, squatting can help alleviate a housing shortage crisis by allowing people who need housing to move into vacant buildings. I still don't get it, but it was fun to watch someone break into a house in broad daylight. FYI...squatting is now illegal in the Netherlands, so we're still trying to figure out how this happened.
Here is the finished product! Tah dah! Poof you have an apartment!

This is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry by Boucheron and Australian-born designer Marc Newson. It took 1500 hours to complete and contains approximately 2000 diamonds and sapphires. I am curious about the total carat weight (sapphires range from 0.84 to 2.50 carats) and the price of this baby, but as of this moment, Boucheron has not supplied that info. I was told they don't give prices on the haute-joaillerie.
But suppose I wanted to buy it? Yeah, right. :)

Scuffles broke out in Mong Kok on Wednesday as a group of taxi drivers began dismantling barricades erected by pro-democracy demonstrators at a protest site, RTHK reported.
The taxi drivers arrived at the intersection of Nathan Road and Argyle Street in the afternoon and started to clear barricades, saying they were taking the action following an injunction granted by the High Court this week for clearing of some main roads.
As they began tearing down the barriers, they were resisted by protesters on the scene and scuffles broke out.
The drivers used chainsaws and sledgehammers to remove various objects put up by protesters to block the streets.
Hundreds of police officers, some in helmets and shields, were on the scene to separate the demonstrators and taxi drivers, who came along with lawyer and court bailiffs.
A senior inspector named Joseph Kuk was quoted as saying that the plaintiff who obtained the court injunction on Monday was arranging the removal of the barricades at the junction of Nathan Road and Dundas Street.
Injunctions were granted to a taxi drivers' group and a minibus operator against Mong Kok protesters on Monday.
If the occupiers fail to comply, the plaintiffs could seek an arrest warrant and ask bailiffs to enforce it, according to representatives of the Taxi Association and Taxi Drivers and Operators Association.
Meanwhile, latest reports say a man tried to light a fire using some papers and paint thinner in Mong Kok at 6pm on Wednesday but was stopped by Occupy protesters.

Huat for 2012!
Finally got down to blogging today, after such a long break. FQR12 projects just ended last night, which is why today is quite a free day. (ok there's work but I'm just giving myself a break until deadlines loom near) Going to catch up on some reading hopefully.
I'm also back in Japan & not very happy about the weather. It's freezing here! There's some sort of cold drift across the whole country, and usually Kobe is sorta warmish, less than 10 degrees but never less than 0 degrees, but this time it went to negative at night and I did not see any snow yet. humph! Last night was the coldest night so far, I just couldn't sleep because my face was freezing and in the end I buried myself (including my head) under the blankets before finally getting warm enough to fall asleep. I hope this doesn't get worse..
The last 2 weeks in SG went by in a blur. It seems to always be that I'm quite free & relaxed until the last 2 weeks when suddenly there just isn't enough time to meet up with everyone and do everything I want to do. I managed to go to Marina Barrage (very inconvenient place to get to without a car although it is a very relaxing environment, good for a picnic or just to lie down on the grass & enjoy the sky), take a ride on the Singapore Flyer (hmm.. a little overrated I guess, but the view was beautiful at night on the MBS side, and I'm glad I did it once), and went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens (fed swans with a friend's daughter, it was fun!) I didn't have time to catch Wicked, which was a pity, given that I've heard so many good reviews. But then, I'm really more of a play person, musicals just don't captivate me as much. I think my favourite is still The Inspector Calls with my sister & Calvin in London, that was hilarious and kept us in stitches the whole time. Maybe next time.
Chinese New Year was quite subdued this year, perhaps because there's only 2 weekdays and people are still tired after the Christmas & New Year holidays. With so many festivals back to back, who would have the mood to keep celebrating. (& also no mood to work at all for December/January) It was work for me for both days, which was good because it meant no need to give angbaos hehe.. and I don't really enjoy making small talk. Although at the end of it, I realised I did miss eating the CNY goodies, but it was too late, because we didn't have any at home.
Ryo is away for a week or so, which makes this short month with each other even shorter. After he comes back, we have around a week together before I go to Tokyo to meet up with the marathon people for a week plus. & we would have been married for 3 years after end of this month. How fast! Perhaps it's all the flying and being apart but it feels alot shorter than that. Which also means that our dear friend has left us for almost 3 years. The worst part is that it happened so soon after the wedding that every time I think about the anniversary, it will also be time for hers. I think of her less often now, but the sadness that comes up every time she comes to mind is overwhelming. The annual visits will be continued for as long as I can, but if I ever forget in future, I hope it will only mean that we are finally at peace with her being in heaven.

Gray hair represents the loss of pigmentation. It's wiry because it's sheathed in more cuticle than most hair. How good you look with gray hair is determined by its texture vis-a-vis the rest of your hair, plus how it goes with the tone of your skin and eyes. Graying hair is the start of a natural lightening process to which you should adapt the colors of your clothes and makeup. If you opt to go gray, sample a "blue" shampoo to inhibit yellowing. Try leave-in conditioners and moisturizers to soften coarseness. Consider having a professional add "lowlights" (streaking of your original color) to give shading to gray areas. Observe the pattern of graying (some heads gray all over, some acquire streaks, some gray grows in to frame the face) and have your stylist shape it to celebrate it. If you opt to color your hair, pick a tone one shade or two lighter than your original color. Going too light or too dark will make you look older. To test the look, try a semi-permanent solution that lasts 6 to 12 shampoos before going for lasting color.

... and will facilitate their quick translation into clinical practice, with the aim to directly improve patient care.
MIAMI will deliver improved and/or novel methodology for early diagnosis of disease in people at risk, who don't exhibit clinically relevant conventional indicators (yet). We will establish a list of biomarkers indicating onset and course of inflammation, and we will devise potential strategies for therapeutic intervention, including identification of cellular and molecular targets for treatment of the disease.
With the help of SMEs that have a strong R&D commitment to biomarkers and personalized medicine solutions, assays will be developed that go beyond academic research formats. The aim is to develop proprietary point-of-care tests for easy and unrestricted use in the clinic or at the bedside, and to validate them. Multiplex assays or lateral-flow immunoassays can be developed for simultaneous detection of a variety of proteins and evaluated in a prospective setting. Novel targets such as microRNA will be addressed in innovative assay formats and validated prospectively as well. Finally, pilot data on the applicability of the identified biomarker targets to be used in cutting-edge molecular imaging approaches will be provided. The latter holds great potential of further innovations going beyond the scope of in vitro biomarker determination.
We follow a translational concept:
We will analyse the mechanisms of disease initiation and progression with a special focus on innate immune activation that connects the joint and the gut as well as the skin. This basic research, involving experimental models of the disease in the murine system, will be linked to clinical studies in which we will use markers of innate immune activation for patient identification and stratification. We seek to maximise the opportunity for success by combining this translation of our molecular insights into clinical practise with a biomarker discovery effort to identify novel markers that will enable monitoring of disease activity which a prerequisite for individualised therapeutic strategies. Biomarkers that indicate the extension of disease will be addressed. Finally, we intend to explore how we may further translate our findings into novel technologies including imaging tools, for which the translation process will be bidirectional. So validated markers will be investigated initially by molecular imaging in mice with the longer-term goal of achieving a biomarker imaging strategy in humans.

I just wrapped up my sixth week of formal training, and I'm stoked with how consistent I was able to keep my workouts. I only missed two training sessions: one I did not have time, and the other I skipped because I was feeling very flat/unrested. For a week with 16 scheduled workouts, I'm very satisfied with that number. Now that I'm 14 weeks out of my most important races, it's crucial that I develop these structured and consistent training habits.
On Tuesday and Thursday I had two solid interval sessions on the bike that spent a respectable amount of time at threshold power. I also put in a two solid long rides over the weekend, accumulating a lot of time at a tempo effort. In terms of running, I surprised myself on Friday with a 10 mile run at a solid pace which surprisingly felt very manageable. This is a step in the right direction, because I was concerned about my general lack of run fitness from the last two months. However, I think its starting to come back rather quickly, so I'm hoping to integrate some 1000m and 2000m repeats into my training schedule in approximately four weeks to build my running speed. In terms of swimming, I'm finally starting to get comfortable pushing myself in my workouts. Although I am still not anywhere near "fast" (especially compared to my cycling and running fitness) I'm seeing my times drop very consistently.
Here is a summary of my training week:
|9000 yards (5.1 miles)
|6 sessions
|9.3 hours (162 miles, 4800ft gain)
|5 sessions
|20 miles
|3 sessions
|15 hours
|14 sessions

It is standard in the wedding world for engaged couples and sometimes their mom or their wedding planner to do a "tasting" where they choose from a large menu some appetizers and entrees they think they might want to serve on their wedding.
For these tastings we always go in our garden and do trimmings for the salad and the garnishes. We are so lucky to be able to have access to delicate little edible flowers that we take with us on our events. They're a really pretty surprise to guests.
We built a private tasting room, The Salon, to hold special events in as you see here, but also to host these wedding tastings. It's a great way for our catering managers and our chefs to explain our philosophy of food and help brides and grooms make catering decisions to best suit their vision.
We start with a series of appetizers and sometimes a crostini station. This really helps couples imagine their cocktail hour.
Next up is a garden salad which we always preface with the explanation that we are a seasonally driven kitchen. Oftentimes couples come in 6-8 months before their wedding date so the apples and persimmons that were so crisp and sweet at their tasting will be replaced by nectarines and plums for their big day. Greens will be different also because we never know what farms will be bringing in. We trust them. We work with small, organic family run farms that have never let us down. They love that we appreciate what they do so they never fail to bring us their best offerings, and that's what goes in all of our garden salads and vegetable dishes.
Our sides to entrees are seasonal as well. Our menu features "Trust Us" vegetables. It's lovely that 95% of our clients choose to Trust Us. They understand that by choosing this option they are enabling us to trust our farmers.
We prepare these tastings "family style" so those eating all share from the same dish, serving themselves on their own plate to get a taste of everything. Fish is an entree that most people want to taste. Again, the fish we serve is seasonal and wild, more on that here.
Chicken is a popular dish on weddings and we do our Jidori chicken in many different ways. Since the quality of the chicken we purchase is so high, there is more flavor and juiciness.

We get our lambs (and pigs and cows) in whole from humane and sustainable ranches so it's great to encourage couples to choose "whole harvest" which is basically a way to incorporate different cuts from the same animal for their menu. This choice enables us to support these small ranches. If a menu choice is lamb rack for 100, then clearly we need to outsource our lamb from a larger purveyor and many different animals. We still take great care in who we purchase our proteins from but it is our goal to primarily support the little ranches like this one and this one. We all make important political decisions with every food purchase so why not support the guys who are working really hard to maintain integrity and humanity in their ranching? You can taste the difference and you're making a difference.
So there's a bit on our food philosophy and a glimpse into one of our wedding tastings. If you're not getting married anytime soon, there are many other opportunities to taste our food. We look forward to feeding you!
