Tarbosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that flourished in Asia between 70 and 65 million years ago. It was clearly an apex predator of its region, hunting most prey items, such as Saurolophus, one of the largest in its area.Tarbosaurus is very well-represented in the fossil record, known from dozens of specimens, including several complete skulls and skeletons. These remains have allowed scientific studies focusing on its phylogeny, skull mechanics, and brain structure. Some scientists believe that Tarbosaurus was the same as Tyrannosaurus rex, but due to numerous differences in the skull, it is generally accepted the two were separate. Tarbosaurus are indeed best known from Mongolia - at a single site 500 km or so from the capital, Ulan Bataar, 68 specimens have been discovered by Phil Currie of the Canadian Royal Tyrell Palaeontological Museum. This true great Palaeontologist of our age, is a world renowned authority on the study of the Tyrannosauridae. He has proposed, quite recently, outlandish theories on Tyrannosaur behaviour, which although heavily criticised by fellow Palaeontologists, are gaining support. The key theory of contention, is the idea that Tyrannosaurs hunted in packs spanning the age ranges. At his site in Mongolia, Phil Currie hoped that 68 Tarbosaurus bataar, the second largest of the Tyrannosaurs known - only slightly smaller and lighter built that Tyrannosaurus rex - would prove that this was the case. However, further geological investigation of the rocks, proved that in fact, most of the individuals in the small area (literally each skeleton is within a stones throw away) lived over a period lasting roughly over 500,000 years! Obviously, the 'pack of 68', was impossible. However, at least 12 specimens found together of those 68, lived on the same terrace of rock at the same time of the time span duration. This does show that perhaps 12 Tarbosaurus hunted together, or lived together. Even with the much older evidence Phil Currie also found in Canada, of around a dozen or more Albertosaurus - 9-10 metre long Tyrannosaurs that were the slim-line Tyrannosaurus rex of their day 9 million years before Tyrannosaurus rex, and still terrifying killers - his newer findings still do not convince most. His research into modern animals, suggests that as with Lions, pack behaviour would have started young in Tyrannosaurs if it did at all, with adults passing skills to the juveniles by observation of the juveniles. He also studied Komodo Dragons, and how they leave almost nothing on a carcass, and that a dozen or perhaps several dozen Tyrannosaurs would be so brutal a force of nature, that literally no fossil remains of their unfortunate Hadrosaur prey would ever survive the onslaught of the feeding frenzy. Sadly, whilst this is a good idea, in fact the key evidence demanded by the critics of Phil Currie, is indeed a rare (probably unattainable) fossil site where adult and juvenile Tyrannosaurs like Tarbosaurus bataar, are actually found beside a prey item skeleton with bite marks and such. The chances of this, even if it was the case the Tyrannosaurs hunted in unstoppable packs, are mind boggling slim. Afterall, 'normal' fossils, are fortunate enough to form on land, survive tectonism and faulting over geological time, and not be destroyed with exposed to the elements after millions of years - and then to expect such a dramatic life action frozen in time is highly optimistic.
Walking with Dinosaurs
Tarbosaurus didn't feature in the original Walking with Dinosaurs series.
Tarbosaurus featured in Chased By Dinosaurs episode 2, where it was shown to be the top predator of the desert; it hunted such animals as Mononykus, Protoceratops, Saurolophus and Therizinosaurus, yet the latter could put up a sufficiently spirited defense to defeat even this alpha predator, as featured by Nigel Marven in that episode, when a Tarbosaurus is whacked in the face by a Therizinosaurus' giant claws. It is a 12 metre long apex predator, even though it didn't always have its way when faced with Therizinosaurus on perhaps more numerous occasions than not.

The Main Characteristics of Foreign Economic Relations between Hungary and the ASEAN Countries with Special Focus on Trade in Agricultural Goods
Kozár, László – Neszmélyi, György
Keywords: Southeast Asia, regional integration, eastern opening, agro-foreign trade, Q17, R11, N75
In addition to a brief review of the economic integration process among the states of the ASEAN region, the authors of this study aimed to examine and analyse the main economic, social and political characteristics of the Hungary-ASEAN relations. The importance of this topic is underlined by the fact that the Hungarian government attaches great importance to the improvement of the economic relations with Asian economies. This intention was expressed by a new foreign economic strategy 'Eastern opening', announced by the government in 2012, even though the foreign trade statistical figures did not justify its success until now.
The authors consider that an increasing opening towards the East serves the economic interests of Hungary, and that this is a right and desirable direction to proceed, and believe that behind the modest results there might be insufficient knowledge of the market mechanisms, the actors of the local supply chains and the potential partners. To make the Hungarian economic endeavours in this direction more successful, a more thorough examination of the local characteristics – including the actual demand arising in the targeted markets – is necessary. This opinion is relevant to not only the Asian 'Giants' such as China, India and Japan, but also to smaller states, like the ASEAN members, which - together - in terms of population and economic performance – reach the dimensions of an economic great power as well.
Furthermore, the integration of the ten Southeast Asian countries is developing rapidly, which is coupled with their increasing weight in the world trade. The dynamic economic and social development in the ASEAN region – and in parallel with this the growing demands and purchasing power – may encourage the Hungarian ventures in theory. In practice, however, there are still very few Hungarian entrepreneurs who are ready and able to enter the markets of the countries in the region and operate successfully there in the long term.
It is a well-known fact that the since the time of the change of regime, Hungarian foreign trade has become strongly concentrated towards the European Union (EU) Member States. The ASEAN countries – because of the geographic distance and by other reasons – cannot be an alternative to the EU market; however, to a certain extent they can relieve this one-sided concentration and may provide additional opportunities for the export of Hungarian goods, and rather for the export of Hungarian services and know-how.
The share of the ASEAN region within the entire Hungarian foreign trade turnover is small nowadays, furthermore – as per the statistical figures – this region is rather an import resource for Hungary than an export market. This fact – just itself –should not be considered as a problem. When the amount of imports exceeds exports, that means that it is more worthwhile to do business with suppliers from those countries than with others.
All this is relevant to the field of agricultural trade as well: Hungary imports a range of commodities which cannot be produced by domestic farmers or in Europe (spices, tropical fruits etc.). It is evident that the ASEAN region cannot be the major market for Hungarian agricultural exports, not even in the long term. However, there are still many opportunities to increase the turnover of goods and services and enhance the co-operation in this geographic region. In the last section, the authors outline an example in the case of Vietnam – co-operation of joint public warehousing of agricultural commodities – which may be a good example for the promising potential opportunities.
In contrast with the majority of the ASEAN countries, the Hungary-Vietnamese political and economic relations started much before the regime change in Hungary. However, the potential advantages arose from this fact – the network of connections and the sympathy of Vietnamese professionals who graduated in Hungary, the reputation and popularity of Hungarian agricultural products and technologies, the achievements of R&D in the field of agriculture – could not be utilized from Hungarian side. Vietnam, however, still preserved its socialist political establishment, but in terms of its economic development strategy and economic policy has gradually been standing on the basis of market orientation. Vietnam, with its population of ninety million, shows a rapid and successful development and it means there are good opportunities even for Hungarian entrepreneurs. It would be a mistake to leave these potentials unused.

Claire Ebert, PhD Candidate, Department of Anthropology, Penn State University: "From Cunil Ceramics to Complexity: The Origins of Preclassic Period Maya Society at Cahal Pech, Belize"
The earliest complex societies and a distinctive set of socio-political and economic institutions appeared in the Maya lowlands during the Preclassic Period (1200 BC – AD 300). The major Maya site of Cahal Pech, located in the Belize River Valley, provides a unique case study for understanding the development of complexity because of its long occupational history from the Early Preclassic until the Terminal Classic Period Maya collapse. This talk discussed results of excavations and analyses from the civic-ceremonial site core and household contexts that have tracked the development of social and economic inequality beginning with the earliest Maya, represented by the earliest Cunil ceramics at Cahal Pech. Population increase during the Middle Preclassic may have triggered increased competition over wealth and subsistence resources, and encouraged hierarchical growth of a centralized dynastic linage at Cahal Pech. Our research at Cahal Pech can provide a framework for understanding the factors that influenced cyclical of growth and decline of early complex societies in prehistory.
Claire Ebert is a doctoral student in the Department of Anthropology at the Penn State University. Her research investigates the development of social inequality in the Maya Lowlands during the Preclassic Period (1000 BC – 300 AD), focusing on household responses to social and economic changes taking place within the context of broader ecological systems. The ancient Maya site of Cahal Pech, in the Belize Valley, has been the focus for her recent research in collaboration with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance project directed by Dr. Jaime Awe. Claire has also worked on archaeological projects at the Maya sites Palenque and Uxbenka, as well as in the American Southwest, Hawaii, and Tanzania.

The Romans believed everyone was born with a god to guide them called "Genius." Science says that matter, as we refer to it, does not exist. Everything is a form of energy, which is the substance of our universe. So it would be safe to assume each of us is a unique energy form in the web of life, which expands beyond the light years of our imagination. Additionally, and most startling is, that science has discovered that everything is connected by a force outside of time and space. If all this is true, which I believe it is, then to know ourselves we would have to experience our true nature or essence, which the Romans thought to be a god given to each of us.
As Children
As children we are a pure expression of our essence. Children, before the loss of innocence, are present, curious, innovative, quick learners, and just a joy to be around. This is because they have not developed cognitive frameworks. They are not worrying about tomorrow, they are engaged in the present. As children we had no protective shields, no fears generated by our egos, complex beliefs systems generated overtime to protect us from additional hurt. People often say children are Angels. In a sense, they are a pure expression of their unique essence. A pure expression of life.
Loss of Innocence
At the loss of innocence we lose touch with our essence, or as some would say, our soul. The bad news is everyone has a dark night of the soul, or multiple dark nights, and lose touch with their natural essence. The good news is, if this is our essence, then we cannot lose it. We just mistakenly place our consciousness on our fears and desires. Over time the frameworks of thought we developed to protect and guide us block our experience of our essence. We no longer know our essential self, which is enlightened by the force that brings everything to life each moment. When we do not feel this force, life loses its joy and our consciousness narrows. Our essence is covered by an avalanche of fears.
As we have bad experiences our natural essence is trapped inside the cognitive frameworks we have adopted to protect ourselves. These frameworks, at best are, approximations of reality. Yet, we use them to protect ourselves from something we fear. Our consciousness becomes focused on these protective frameworks, and the energy and joy of the life force which generates our essence can barely be felt.
The very essence of our life, and the force that feeds it, is trapped, but always waits to be released. We get glimpses, but often deny them as unreal. We think it is all "too good to be true." We become cynical and angry with ourselves and the struggle of life. The more we probe into the dark hallways we have created in our minds, the more distant the ringing of our essence. Just know, it will not stop calling to us to resonate with our essence. As I implied with the title of my new Poetry Book, It Waits For You.
The first and most important step is to realize our thoughts are useful to plan, but can drive us crazy. The definition of insanity is repeating the same patterns of thought and action while getting the same unsatisfactory experiences. Then being angry at someone else, or life itself. Knowing the usefulness of thought without letting it take over or define us is the first key understanding.
Second, we have to practice expanding our glimpses into our essence. Moments when we feel time has stopped and we are filled with a deep loving energy … spending time laughing with friends … when we are amazed with light catching the edges of the waves reflected from the Sun into our eyes … falling in love forever with a person … a journey or a turn in a our path we know is ours. When our hearts are full of grace it is best to expand with it's rhythm and flow. Dive into the river of life, as John O'Donahue, poet and priest, once said,
"I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding."
There Is No Substitute For Practice
It is beneficial to create a practice that teaches us to expand into the flow of our essence, like a surfer riding the sweet spot of a wave. We all have a sweet spot inside, which is our essence, or as some had said, our soul. A good practice is a combination of experience and insight. In this manner each experience creates an opportunity for insight and expanded consciousness. In the end it is living like this day to day.

Twitters new 6 second video concept, named "Vines," may be a boom for advertisers and users, but who's likely to come out the true winners? Six seconds really isn't much, but it sure can convey a message. Much like twitters 160 character limit, which initially got similar criticism as Vine, I am sure people will find ways to optimize 6 seconds. Aside from the 6 seconds of porn littering the service, I am sure there are more creative uses. I want to break down what may make this 6 second envelope work and for whom.
6 seconds is better than an image. We evolved as visual animals with automatic motion detector algorithms. Whereas an image or a logo utilizes pattern recognition, it still requires effort to gain that attention (some research and advertisers believe that you need to expose someone to a brand at least 7 times before the target gains conscious recognition of the brand's existence). Imagine having an animated 6 second logo engineered to capture your attention just long enough for you to internalize the brand quicker. Might be very effective in a world where time and attention is becoming a rarer commodity for some target audiences.
I feel that 6 seconds falls within our working memory's ability to absorb and analyze data in chunks. We're capable of remembering from 3-7 items effectively, 5 being the average. Interestingly, "items" may be very particular such as a 7 digit phone number, or very broad such as 7 names of books (clearly each book name contains more raw info than 7 digits, but keep in mind that our brains are able to still remember 7 items, not 7 specific types of data). Within this context, 6 seconds may work.
Aside from corporate interests, people will likely benefit. To be honest, I rarely expose myself to advertising. I've constructed my life around adblock, no script, Ghostery, do not track, etc. type addons when surfing the net, commercial free entertainment, advertising free books, and streaming tv, so my assumptions may be incorrect. The only ads I see are from the Super Bowl (and they were disappointingly transparent and unmemorable this year). However, I have observed a few sites which very effectively force you to watch ads otherwise you cannot continue onto the main content. Hulu being one major innovator in this domain. Some less sophisticated sites just force you to stare at a blank screen for a few minutes because they believe an ad is running while in fact an ad block service is blocking the content. Knowing that advertising will become more effective at forcing content in our lives, if I have to see an ad, I'd prefer to watch a few 6 second ads than a couple of 30+ second ads, which I have learned to tune out, even at the risk of missing a few seconds to a minute of the show.
Not that I look forward to the day when I get highly personalized ads and tailored political messages 24/7, but hopefully with the move toward 6 second ads, they will improve in quality. Hopefully, they don't degrade into a quantity over quality zeitgeist.

(Updates with official closing numbers, adds details, quotes)
TORONTO, April 15 (Reuters) - A record high for oil prices drove the Toronto Stock Exchange's main index higher on Tuesday, with stronger resource issues overshadowed lingering worries about a weak earnings season.
Toronto's energy sector gained 1.8 percent as crude prices surged amid supply worries and weakness in the U.S. dollar. U.S. oil prices settled $2.03 higher at $113.79 a barrel, before hitting a record of $114.08 in late electronic trade.
Suncor Energy (SU.TO) was up C$2.37, or 2.2 percent, at C$112.12 and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) gained C$1.21, or 1.5 percent, to C$83.53.
"It's a familiar theme yet again," said Elvis Picardo, investment strategist at Northern Securities Inc in Vancouver. "It's energy and materials driving the upside and that's more than offsetting some weakness in the financials and info tech index."
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed up 112.35 points, or 0.82 percent, at 13,850.95 with six of its 10 main groups in an upswing.
The materials sector, home to resource shares, also helped lift the benchmark with a gain of 1.8 percent. Potash Corp of Saskatchewan POT.TO rose C$2.80, or 1.5 percent, to C$188.15, and Agrium AGU.TO gained C$2.41, or 3.1 percent, to C$80.50.
The sector's gold producer subindex rose 1.6 percent, lifted by strengthening bullion prices. Barrick Gold (ABX.TO) advanced 55 Canadian cents, or 1.3 percent, to C$44.40 and Goldcorp (G.TO) moved up C$1.28, or 3.1 percent, to C$42.07.
On the downside, the lightweight tech sector slipped 0.9 percent, hurt by falling shares of MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates MDA.TO, which were off 60 Canadian cents, or 1.4 percent, at C$43.29. Last week, the Canadian government blocked the sale of MDA's satellite unit to U.S. company Alliant Techsystems ATK.N.
Also in the sector, contract electronics maker Celestica (CLS.TO) was down 45 Canadian cents, or 6.3 percent, at C$6.67.
Despite the day's strong advance, Picardo said concerns remain that quarterly corporate results will be weak — a fact that was underscored last week by an unexpected decline in profit at bellwether General Electric (GE.N).
"I think the key driver is going to be corporate earnings," said Picardo. "We're just beginning to see numbers come out and, frankly, they haven't been terribly encouraging."

Guinness Nitro IPA proves that the brand synonymous with the jet black stout is more than a one trick widget.
The first thing that comes to mind when people think of Guinness is the stout that requires six steps and 119.5 seconds to achieve a perfect pour. They've quietly been branching out in the last year though, and drinkers are taking notice. Well, at least I am. Last year they launched Guinness Blonde, which is a solid take on an underrated style of beer. Now they're releasing their take on the most sought after style in America… Guinness Nitro IPA.
Guinness Nitro IPA doesn't dive into the 100 IBU game for which so many hop-heads live. It eases its way in. For one thing, Guinness drinkers aren't picking up cases to drink something extreme. That's never been their game. For another, hops and nitrogen don't necessarily play that well together so they had to choose wisely. The result is an IPA that's silky across the tongue and not overly bitter.
The rollout for Guinness Nitro IPA starts with just a few cities but it will be available nationwide in short order. It's only available in the States because people in Ireland have never heard of an IPA. It's 5.8% ABV and $9 a six-pack.
Check out the video below to see their Randall'esque method of hopping and how the awesome nitrogen widget works.

Paul Farrell, Vice President Virgin Media said: "The traditional TV and broadband packages are no longer working for millennials which is why at Virgin Media we've ripped up the rulebook when it comes to contracts with the launch of our new no strings attached 30 day broadband and TV offer."
"Not everyone can, or wants to be tied down with long term contract for their broadband and TV service which is why we've designed this flexible offer specifically to meet the streaming and content needs of the 'on-demand' generation".
"Our new 30 day TV and 30 day broadband offer is for those looking to dump their old broadband and television partner and come have a fling with Virgin Media – we promise you'll enjoy the relationship however long it lasts".

LACUNA MATATA! - Scavenger Shot
On our honeymoon, my husband and I went to Alaska and visited some of the most beautiful country we had ever seen. This flower, nestled in the crag of a stone wall, caught my eye as we climbed an overlook in Sitka, Alaska. (More pictures of the scene at the bottom of this post.)
Lacuna means a missing part, a gap, or air space. Not only is lacuna the tricky word of the week (thanks to yours truly), it is also the name of the company that erased Jim Carrey's painful memories in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You can still visit the company's website, where you are invited to take a quiz to see if memory removal is right for you!

Your result for What Spice Are You Test...
You are Ginger!
0% Habanero, 20% Sage, 10% Thyme, 40% Ginger, 10% Garlic, 10% Curry, 0% Cinnamon and 10% Oregano!
You are versatile and yet rather erratic!
You can be hot or sweet, it just depends on your mood that day. Sometimes people overlook you and don't give you enough credit for who you are. They try to take advantage of you often, but you aren't one to just sit back and let it happen. When you've had enough you definitely let them know.
You can be a bit moody and have definitive up and down times. It makes being with you a challenge at times, but you have so much personality that being your friend is very much worth the challenge.
You can be very popular, and you don't mind being so. You are more a leader than a follower. You have a wide range of interests and abilities. In your opinion life is too short so you should do as much as you can during your lifetime.
You have your own flair and style, but you still look to see what it trendy.

What is up with self-flushing toilets?
I get it. In theory. People don't like to touch the toilet handles (which I don't understand either, because you wash your hands after, DO YOU NOT? But that's for another time), people don't like to find a dirty bowl upon getting prepped to do their dirty business, so it's forced cleanliness.
I didn't really think about it till I starting working at a place with self-flushers. Now I think about it every time I have cause to use the self-flushing. Here's my things I don't understand:
- This is a professional workplace. Can we all agree that professionals know how to flush a toilet and can be trusted–nay, EXPECTED–to flush that said toilet?
- What happens if you don't do butt business, but instead have to throw-up or toss out tissues? There is no way to flush these toilets. So your vomitus is there till someone adds something to it, and the toilet determines it's flush time, because whatever robot toilet thing that figures out when you stand up won't be doing its job. Gross.
- WORSE is when the robot is like, timed, or something. I recently had to provide a urine sample, for a drug test before getting said job, and it was an auto-flush toilet that auto-flushed like three times while I was trying to . . . collect myself. It was very, very disconcerting, and seems like an AWFUL decision on self-flushingness toilet placement.
- Ok, I know this is a gross list, but this could be the grossest, but also the most valid, argument. Sometimes, you need to see stuff. Like, think how traumatic it would be to just catch a glance at some blood (or really, any vivid, unexpected color) there and it be gone before you can properly process and/or remember if you ate beets. Your health is at stake! The robot toilets are killing us!
- Two words: cell phone. About 30% of my social circle has, at one point (or multiple points, in some cases) toilet-bowled their cell phone. It falls out of pockets and all that, it's not even from just stall-texting (though I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of, whatev). And it would be a personal choice whether or not to rescue said phone, but I know some people who did, and in any case, even if you didn't rescue the phone, you wouldn't FLUSH it, right? I mean, worst case, you leave it there for the cleaning people to pull out with their sterile gloves. Because flushing it would mess up the pipes so bad! (I am assuming it would be anyway. Plumbers are free to correct me).
- I tried to think of this somehow environmentally, but no. The most environmental would be some "let it mellow" flushing, not a flusher that goes all out, all the time. Right?
That's it. I would be happy to have someone explain this to me. Because really, all I see are cons to this whole robotic toilet situation.

The intelligent use of technology in libraries is a big issue. We must address this aspect of learning and how it supports the academic, public and special library communities.
The WordPress tool is a good resource that Aaron Cohen Associates (ACA) will use to learn about developing web services for libraries. We are seeking the development of a digital world and a blended environment. The new and interactive library, with services that deliver these types of tools, is important for the future of information and intelligence. Electronic tools are important for libraries to explore as new services. However, they are disruptive to the physical space, requiring new types of interfaces.
We are interested in how the physical space interacts with learning and what tools people need to grow. ACA will use WordPress to create a library of library plans. We will include our research on libraries, technology, behavior, work flow, services, demographics, geographic and space measurements for library buildings.
The first link is our own research page. This page is updated every three months …

Had Fei Ye Ye's wanton mee with soya sauce chicken for lunch in Chinatown Complex today. I enjoyed it as the wanton mee was old school and the soya sauce chicken was tender, juicy and sweet.
Fei Ye Ye 肥爷爷 is stall #02-177 in the Blue Zone, right in front of the elevators.
Fei Ye Ye 肥爷爷 is run by husband and wife team, Sebastian and May. Sebastian learnt his craft from the Taiwanese and Hong Kong restaurants he worked for in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s. Sebastian recalls those wide-eyed decades in NYC Chinatown fondly. Sebastian's soya sauce chicken is one of Fei Ye Ye's signatures which he developed from what he learnt in NYC HK restaurants.
While at the stall, I smelled the lovely aroma of freshly fried pork lard. Fei Ye Ye still uses fresh pork lard and cracklings in their wanton mee sauce. They also make their own sambal chill at the stall.
The mound of egg noodles was topped with meaty chicken drumstick and leg. I like the way the drippy sauce sat in a shallow pool at the bottom of the plate as it reminded me of the wanton mee of my childhood. At the side were a few stalks of greens (choy sum), sambal chili and fresh lard cracklings.
The way to eat this old school wanton mee is to toss, fold, and turn the egg noodles in the drippy sauce until it mopped up all the liquid with none left on the plate.
The slender egg noodles were done to a quite firm texture with a stiff springy bite. The wet strands were well coated with mild savoury spicy sauce which had the nice underlying taste of lard. I enjoyed these slurpy chewy noodles.
The chicken was cooked to 99% done. It was tender, juicy, and smooth to the bite. The flavour was mild and leaned on the sweet side with underlying savouriness (this contrasts with other soya sauce chicken sold in Chinatown as they are generally robustly savoury/ salty. For example, Michelin Star Hawker Chan's is very salty, in comparison). I enjoyed Fei Ye Ye's mildly flavoured soya sauce chicken, especially for its juicy tenderness.
Sebastian massages his chicken before cooking to tenderise the meat. He uses no chemical tenderisers and swears that it makes all the difference 😄
The fresh well browned lard cracklings looked gorgeous and tasted great.
The soya sauce chicken noodle come with wantons in a savoury sweet soup.
Fei Ye Ye also has char siew wanton mee.
Wanton mee with deep fried chicken feet stewed with aromatic Chinese spices till fall-off-the-bone tender.
👉 In the crowded world of soya sauce chicken in Chinatown, Fei Ye Ye's version is a worthy contender. Fei Ye Ye offers a milder sweeter take on the dish whereas most stalls serve soya sauce chicken which are robustly salty/ savoury with pronounced spice flavour. If you have a gentle palate, you will like this gentler soya sauce chicken. You would also appreciate the tenderness of Fei Ye Ye's offering.
Next time, I shall try half bird ($7.50) or whole bird ($14).

So, I bought the fabric I want at the thrift store... and I'm going to use these inspirations to sew my own nursery bedding... stay tuned (I am not a seamstress)!!

Gender pension gaps along the distribution: an application to the French case
Benoît Rapoport, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Dominique Meurs, Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED) and Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense
Carole Bonnet, Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED)
In this article we estimate the relative contributions of career duration and income earned to the pension gap between men and women at different points along the pension income distribution, as well as the role played by minimum pensions and other partly or wholly non-contributory policies in reducing this gap. Our research focuses on all the retirees in France in 2008, whether they were formerly employed in the public or the private sector. Applying the decomposition method proposed by Firpo, Fortin and Lemieux (2007, 2009), we show that in the first deciles, the gap is largely due to differences in career duration. This effect gradually fades, and differences in the reference wage become the main explanation. We also show that minimum contributory pensions play an extremely important role in limiting the gender pension gap in the first deciles, for both the public and the private sectors. Lastly, the gender pension gap is much smaller in the public sector than in the private. This is both due to the fact that careers in the public sector are less fragmented and also because calculation of the reference wage does not penalize career interruptions so much. This relative advantage of women employed in the public sector over their counterparts in the private sector can probably be added to the factors usually proposed to explain the over-representation of women in the public sector.

Sensei Churton Toote, founder of the Abaco Karate Academy, promoted several of his students on Dec. 11 at the Dundas Town Burial Society. Sensei Toote instructs the students from the Nisei Goju Ryu Karate system.
Among those receiving promotions to green belt were Brandon Frank; Tayjoun McDonald; Marlon Russell; Joshua Smith; and Ashton McDonald. Jessica Pierre was promoted to purple belt; and Steve Jeffery to yellow belt ranking. Wilken Lorfils was awarded a certificate of appreciation for his dedication and his contributions to the academy.
Sensei Toote invited the students to demonstrate what they had learned, beginning with five-year-old Brandon. Under his instruction, they quickly completed the detailed movements of their katas and every now and then one would cry out from the exertion of their technique.
Sensei Toote began martial arts training at the age of 18, quickly advancing through the degrees of Black Belt, and in 1997 he was inducted into the Karate Hall of Fame by the Eastern USA International Martial Arts Association.
Karate classes are held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 p.m.-5:30 p.m.

The reviews are based on evidence and information obtained from peer-reviewed literature; grey literature and online sources; and 53 conversations with leaders in healthcare from Canada, US, Australia and Europe.
Based on these findings, a list of considerations was created for AHS and other health organizations to consider when developing a physician leadership program. The findings are integrated into a change management and maintenance framework to provide a useful and grounded tool for physician leadership development strategies. Read the full report Physician Leadership Development Report.
In addition to leadership professional development, there are also a variety of Continuing Medical Education (CME) opportunities available to all Practitioners in Alberta.
Accreditation, conducted by Accreditation Canada expert peer reviewers, is a process we use to prove and improve our standards of care. Physician input is critical to the success of this continuous cycle of assessment.
The AHS physician leader for Accreditation is Dr. Brent Friesen. If you would like to be discuss the accreditation process, contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or 403-943-1279.

SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande says the "toxic" role of the Gupta family needs to be "confronted" and that the Gupta emails appear to be genuine. The SACP addressed the media after the party's central committee meeting in Johannesburg on Sunday. The SACP has called previously for President Jacob Zuma to step down.
According to IOL, Nzimande told reporters:
"No one has come out in the open and said the emails were false... that is very interesting. Furthermore, no action has been taken against the media that has been reporting about these emails. We suppose that there would be processes to establish their nature, but they do look genuine...
"The toxic role of the Gupta family, with help from the highest echelons in the state and our movement, need to be confronted head on. We do not want any dilly-dallying and talk endlessly... we can't be fooling around now when the country is faced with a potentially serious problem that threatens to take us backwards."
SACP deputy general secretary Jeremy Cronin reportedly said there were cases that could be pursued criminally before the establishment of a judicial commission.
Nzimande called for a judicial commission of inquiry into state capture to be established immediately, according to The Sowetan.
"In the light of the barrage of further revelations concerning the Gupta network, the commission needs clearly to extend its scope beyond the major but still limited issues investigated in the public protector's State of Capture report."
However, Nzimande warned against "diluting" the commission.
"But we must vigorously guard against recent attempts to dilute it into investigating such a wide field that its work will never be completed," he reportedly said.
"Every week' in fact almost every day now, with a barrage of leaked emails and more and more whistleblowers coming forward to the SA Council of Churches unburdening panel' the sheer scale of corporate capture and of parasitic plundering of public resources by the Gupta network becomes more and more evident," he said.

Days since the last free Oracle Java 8 update -
what's your plan?
Oracle's new roadmap for Java is creating lots of confusion and anxiety throughout the Java community. By the end of January 2019, free security updates and bug fixes for any long-term support build of Java (specifically the widely-adopted Java 8 plus Java 11) will be unavailable without an Oracle Java SE support subscription.
Azul's Zulu Enterprise provides timely security updates for Java. You also get access to Java SE stability updates and bug fixes, both quarterly and as new security vulnerabilities are identified.
Our subscriptions cover Java developers and production deployments alike. We run on desktops, servers, cloud instances, virtual machine images, and Docker files. We support Java SE on multiple versions of Windows for desktops and servers, all major Linux distros (including Alpine), Solaris, and macOS. Got a support coverage question? You can contact an Azul expert and we'll get back to you quickly.
Zulu® is a series of enterprise-quality, certified OpenJDK builds that can be deployed across various operating systems, Docker containers, hypervisors, and Cloud platforms. Companies, Java developers, systems administrators, and end users can now enjoy the full benefits of freely available 100% open source Java with the comfort of world-class OpenJDK support provided by the only company 100% dedicated to Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Read the 451 Group analyst report, "Azul's Zulu JVM could prove an awkward challenge to Oracle's Java ambitions".
Zulu® is verified compliant with the Java SE specifications using the OpenJDK Community Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). Zulu can work side-by-side with other JDKs in the same system, allowing you to select the specific JDK you want to use on a per-application basis. Now it's your choice. See the full list of supported platforms here or pick up a copy of the Zulu Enterprise data sheet here. Download the Zulu Commercial Compatibility Kit if you have applications that take advantage of specific additional features that Oracle bundles along with the Hotspot JVM in the Oracle JDK.
Zulu® leverages all the latest advances in OpenJDK and support provided by its vibrant open source community. And there's no "shovelware" with Zulu. You won't find yourself with a new toolbar or a modified search engine when you download Zulu — just the tested builds of OpenJDK.
Need Enterprise-grade Java/OpenJDK support? Wondering how you will get Java security patches and stability updates after public updates end for JDK 8?
Azul's subscription-based support available with Zulu Enterprise provides an added layer of protection for your Java-based business. With Zulu Enterprise, each major Java SE long-term support version enjoys a 10+ year support lifetime, and our Java and JVM experts can help you resolve issues quickly. Plus, with Zulu Enterprise Medium Term Support (MTS) you get up to 18 months of support for select interim releases of Java, allowing you to take advantage of new features without waiting 3 years for the next LTS release. MTS versions of Zulu are highlighted on the Azul Product Support Roadmap.
Azul's experienced customer support engineers are completely focused on Java. To find out more about Zulu Enterprise Support or schedule time with an Azul representative, please contact us.
As detailed in this blog post, Azul's Zulu products are 100% open source, certified builds of OpenJDK that are based on the same source code that Oracle uses for its proprietary Java SE offering. Zulu is compliant with Java SE specifications, and has identical performance to the Oracle offering, making it an easy "drop-in" replacement for Oracle HotSpot.
Zulu® Dockerfiles are simple to get and use and are available for a range of version options. On the Docker Hub, choose from "the latest" (the default), or specific earlier builds of Java. Zulu Dockerfiles make it easy to include fully-supported open source Java in any stack comprised of other Dockerfiles. Plus, like all Zulu versions, you can take advantage of Azul's production support options. Read the 451 Research report on Zulu, Docker, and Java here
The Commercial Compatibility Kit (CCK) for Zulu® contains additional functionality that is not included in the OpenJDK source, but which will help ensure compatibility in applications that take advantage of specific additional features that Oracle bundles into HotSpot. The CCK is free and can be added easily to Zulu as part of your normal upgrade or update process. Simply choose and download the CCK version that matches your operating system and Zulu installer type (for example zip or rpm). The CCK includes the Lucida font family from Monotype™.

A novel model is proposed to formulate the mobility of multiple vehicles with inter-communications moving together as a swarm. This model is inspired by the aggregate motion of social force, and is used to describe the self-organised behaviour of the vehicle swarm in vehicular ad hoc networks. To validate and analyse the proposed model, some simulations are performed in different traffic scenarios, such as the low traffic density with high mobility and the high traffic density with low mobility. Two comparative simulation cases are also provided to explore the effect of vehicular communications on the mobility of multiple vehicles. The simulation results prove that the model can well formulate the cooperative behaviours of multiple vehicles with vehicle-to-vehicle communications in inter-vehicle collision avoidance and obstacle-avoidance scenarios, and these results also strengthen that the inter-vehicular communications can enhance the vehicle safety and traffic efficiency.

When applying dynamic route guidance to improve the road network performance, the interests of the road authorities and the road users are likely to conflict. Road users are normally aiming at minimising their travel times by choosing the time-shortest route, whereas the authorities might want to send road users to a time-longer alternative to prevent phenomena like capacity drop and spill-back. In this study, the authors demonstrate how, in such a situation, bounded rationality and indifference bands (IB) of road users can be used to improve the network performance, such that the road users will not experience being disadvantaged by the advice. An interpretation and utilisation of the IBs in a route guidance control approach is proposed, which degrades the routes such that the network performance deterioration is prevented while the IBs of road users are respected. By means of a simulation test case, the potential gain in network performance of different IBs is evaluated. Results show a reduction in total travel time of 5% compared with user equilibrium, in case of an IB of 4 min for a trip of ∼22 min, and up to 14% in case of an IB of 10 min.

Many of vehicle crash related fatalities are caused by run-off-road crashes and failures of the drivers to avoid obstacles in front of them. This can happen in near collision encounters, where the driver should steer in order to avoid a crash. In these situations, some drivers steer too much and go off the road, and some do not steer enough and collide with the obstacle. In this study, the authors developed a steering control collision avoidance system (SCCAS) to help drivers to safely perform severe manoeuvres and avoid such crashes. This system is activated by the driver's steering input, and was implemented in a car driving simulator to study human interactions. Testing the subjects with no collision avoidance feature resulted in collision with the obstacles in 61 out of 63 encounters; whereas, using the implemented SCCAS, the subjects avoided 44 out of 60 near collision encounters in a new scenario with the same level of difficulty as the original tests. The post-experiment surveys revealed that besides the effectiveness of the system in reducing the crashes, it was acceptable to the drivers and they found the activation type intuitive.

The demand for four intelligent vehicle safety systems (IVSSs) – emergency braking, speed alert, blind spot monitoring and lane keeping support – is analysed by constructing their demand curves (demand as a function of product price) based on data available from user interviews and a literature study. The study also provides a method for constructing linear and exponential demand curves of the systems from data gathered from user interviews. The estimated linear and exponential demand curves were tested by least-squares fitting to the data collected from user interviews. The mean absolute error was consistently larger for all of the systems studied here when using the linear instead of exponential model. This suggests that the exponential model reflects more accurately the demand for IVSSs than does the linear model.

Road crashes are a growing concern of governments and are rising to become one of the leading preventable causes of death, especially in developing countries. The ubiquitous presence of smartphones provides a new platform on which to implement sensor networks and driver-assistance systems, as well as other intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. In this study, existing approaches of using smartphones for ITS applications are analysed and compared. Particular focus is placed on vehicle-based monitoring systems, such as driving behaviour and style recognition, accident detection and road condition monitoring systems. Further opportunities for use of smartphones in ITS systems are highlighted, and remaining challenges in this emerging field of research are identified.

Old Church Slavonic and Black English Vernacular
The Young Fogey looks ay "the aspective, the difference between one time only and a state of being," in Russian grammar, and notes that "Black American English has it too: he workin', 'he's at work', and he be workin', 'he has a job'" — Learning church Latin and Russian. (The heroic linguist William Labov showed us that Black English Vernacular—the term Ebonics is laughable, sorry—was not "bad English" but a rule-based system like any other dialect.)

MGS-250 Now Detects R-514A and R-452B
Bacharach has announced the addition of two new gas options for the MGS-250 infrared refrigerant gas detector product line.
This non-dispersive infrared sensor technology offers significant user benefits when detecting either of these two gases. The major benefit is the elimination of cross-interference from other gases and the elimination of cross-interference from changes in temperature and humidity providing the user with peace of mind knowing the reading he sees is accurate and stable. Other benefits include added sensor life of 5 – 7 years and reduced maintenance.
Modbus RTU protocols, analog and relay outputs enable easy integration with building management systems and industrial automation system controls for refrigeration systems operating with R-514A or R-452B.
Bacharach continues supporting the cooling and refrigeration industries by extending its library of refrigerant gases which can be detected and monitored, as the refrigeration industry moves toward the use of refrigerants less harmful to the environment.
About R-514A
R-514A is a refrigerant with a very low GWP of under 2, and is targeted as a replacement for R-123 in centrifugal chiller applications. It is a blend of HFO 1336mzz(Z) (74.7%) with trans-1,2-dichloroethene (25.3%), a gas not previously used in refrigerants.
ASHRAE 34 classes R-514A as a "B1" refrigerant, meaning that it is not flammable, but is classed as having higher toxicity, with on OEL of 323 ppm.
This B1 classification highlights the importance of refrigerant monitoring in this application, maintaining high accuracy and enabling the effective and reliable detection of refrigerant leaks which could be harmful, as well as reducing the efficiency of the refrigeration system.
About R-452B
R-452B is designed as a lower GWP replacement for R-410A in air conditioning applications, with a GWP of 676 which is around 65% less than that of R410A. It is an HFO/HFC blend of R-32 (67%), R-1234yf (26%) and R-125 (7%).
ASHRAE 34 classes R-452B as an "A2L" refrigerant, meaning it is classed as non-toxic but is mildly flammable.
Reliable and accurate monitoring of A2L-classified refrigerants is an important factor in complying with regulations and assisting the safe use of refrigerants.Learn More About the MGS-250 Infrared Gas Detector
