One of Bibendum's fabulous stained glass windows
In 1987, Sir Terence Conran, Simon Hopkinson and Lord Paul Hamlyn opened the doors of the iconic Michelin Building that was the newly refurbished home of Bibendum Restaurant. Twenty years later, Matthew Harris, who had started on that first day as Chef-de-Partie, is still there now as head Chef, having taken over the mantle from his mentor, Simon Hopkinson in 1995. Chef Harris continues Simon Hopkinson's legacy of producing classic French food with a strong British influence, using the best quality seasonal ingredients, and results in Bibendum's consistently excellent cuisine.
The fabulous Flower Market on the main floor at Bibendum,
in the original garage
On the main floor of Michelin House, in the tire company's original garage, is the beautiful Bibendum Flower Market and Café. The ideal place to pick up some fresh tulips, a dozen fresh baked croissants or enjoy a light lunch with a glass of champagne, unless of course you're one of the lucky few with luncheon reservations upstairs at Bibendum — so off we go!

Simon Thomas, Bibendum's Café and Crustacea stall manager and staff
Named after the iconic Michelin Man, also known as Bibendum, the restaurant is housed inside the century-old Art Deco Michelin Building, the former headquarters of the tire company. Inside, the restaurant is divided into two levels: a casual downstairs café and oyster bar, which is decorated with small round tables and Michelin-themed artwork, and a more formal upstairs restaurant, designed with white tablecloths, bright blue upholstered chairs and stained-glass windows depicting Bibendum.
Upstairs, on the 2nd floor of the original Michelin House, is Bibendum.

...all elegantly attired in black and white
It's been said that that "relaxed and chic, the oyster bar is ideal for the local ladies seeking shopping sustenance." Who can argue?

Seated at a lovely table with a fabulous view of one of Bibendum's spectacular stained glass windows, we were in heaven. As I found out, the original stained glass windows were removed by Michelin in 1939 at the outset of WWII and were subsequently lost. When Sir Terence Conran and the late Lord Paul Hamlyn bought the building in 1985, they commissioned new windows using photographs and posters to replicate the originals — and what a joy they did.

With such a splendid view and a table at one of my absolute favourite restaurants, we ordered a Hendrick's Gin and Tonic and glass of Prosecco to begin our meal, as we perused the menu, nibbled on a bowl of warm olives and dove into the warm bread that was freshly baked downstairs at the Café, served with a lump of fresh churned butter in the Bibendum butter dish.

How wonderful to find a menu with so many delicious offerings. We finally decided to start with the Salt Beef Hash with Mustard Sauce and Fried Egg as well as the Veal, Pork & Sweetbread Terrine with a fig chutney and sweet gherkins served with toasted brioche. Both were perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

With a selection of 20-30 wines by the glass or carafe,
we selected an Australian Cabernet Sauvignon to pair with lunch
The original Michelin Company motto was Nunc est Bibendum, which is etched into Bibendums wine glasses and means 'let us drink', which was to illustrate that Michelin's tyres could absorb everything in their path — much like us over lunch! Our fabulous entrées were Rump of Lamb with Wild Garlic Greens and a Duxelles Bearnaise Tart and Sautéed Pork Filet with Toulouse Sausage braised in Beaujolais with aioli were served with sides of Broccoli and slivered almonds with Potato Croquettes.

With such luscious desserts like Marbled Chocolate Mousse Cake with coffee crème anglaise and brandy snap, Apple Sticky Toffee Pudding with vanilla ice cream, and Lemon Bavarois with champagne poached rhubarb, it's a wonder we settled on the Stilton, sliced apple and grapes with a pear and ginger chutney, but it was truly excellent and hit the spot...if a spot was left.

"The day we opened Bibendum was the happiest of my life. The perfect restaurant in the beautiful building I had always dreamed of owning. 25 years later, London's restaurant scene has changed dramatically but class is timeless and Bibendum remains as light, elegant and luxurious as it did then and continues to serve the delicious, uncomplicated food for which it has always been famous. I believe it is the best restaurant space in London, if not the world"
Sir Terence Conran
One of my absolute favourite restaurants, I bought the Bibendum cookbook
a number of years ago and it holds a special place in my heart
Simon Hopkinson, Sir Terence Conran and Matthew Harris at the Bibendum Cookbook launch
Housed in the historic Michelin building, Bibendum restaurant has been an iconic part of the London restaurant scene for 25 years. Celebrated head chef Simon Hopkinson takes the ethos of Bibendum cooking — fine seasonal ingredients prepared simply — and brings it to the home with this unique volume. More than simply a classic cookbook, these 40 superb recipes are a gastronomic testament to an iconic landmark. This is stripped-down, stylish food at its best: easy to prepare, generous in flavour, and great to share with others. With stunning color photography throughout, this is a culinary journey worth savouring — and I have, and hope to continue for many more years.
Roquefort Salad with Pears, Endive and Walnut Oil
Serves 4
Recipe courtesy of Simon Hopkinson
2-3 heads red and white endive
1 large ripe pear, peeled and thinly sliced
4 oz Roquefort cheese, crumbled
squeeze lemon juice
2-3 tbsp walnut oil
freshly ground black pepper
Separate the heads of endive into leaves and soak in iced water for about 10 minutes. Dry the leaves and neatly arrange them onto a serving dish, inner curved sides facing upwards. Drape the pear slices over the leaves, and evenly distribute the cheese in and amongst the leaves with squeeze of lemon juice. Trickle over the walnut oil and grind over a little freshly ground black pepper.
Scallops Beurre Blanc
Serves 4
Recipe courtesy of Simon Hopkinson
4 shallots, finely chopped
4 fl oz white wine vinegar
4 fl oz dry white wine
9 oz cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
20 scallops
dash of olive oil
salt and freshly ground white pepper
fresh chives, finely chopped, to garnish
For the beurre blanc, place the shallots, vinegar, wine and 4 fluid ounces of water into a saucepan. Set over a moderate heat until almost no liquid remains. Turn the heat down to a low setting and whisk in the butter one piece at a time, allowing each piece to melt and homogenise before adding the next. Once all the butter has been used the sauce should be pale and have a thin, custard-like consistency. Keep warm. Brush the scallops with oil. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and fry the scallops for one minute on each side, or until golden-brown on the outside. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the scallops and garnish with chives.

Phillip SGX APAC Dividend Leaders REIT ETF is a 'First-in-Class' SG REIT ETF that gives investors an opportunity to buy into a basket of dividend leaders. It also doubles as a benchmark index – savvy investors can use it to pick out-performers in this asset class.
Phillip SGX APAC Dividend Leaders REIT ETF
This real estate investment trust exchange traded fund (thank heavens for abbreviations that was a mouthful) started trading last week on 20 October 2016 on the Singapore Exchange. The fund manager is Phillip Capital Management. According to Dealing Manager Sky Yao at Phillip Securities,
This ETF gives investors an exposure in Asia ex Japan REITs issuing high dividends. Considering Asia economic prospects of increasing population, growth in mid-tier income families and increasing urbanisation, there are a myriad of factors that pose a strong case to purchase this ETF. Investors need to appreciate the reality that there is a new norm of low growth, low bond yields and relatively low global interest rates which is further fuelled by events like Brexit. We now see capital inflow into "yielding assets" in Asia. The search for yield still remains making REITs an attractive asset class to have in any portfolio. This particular ETF will be useful for retail investors with little time to analyse performance of each stock in the REIT Universe.
This is great product for yield-seeking investors. REITS are attractive dividend-investments to hold over long term. It is not easy to pick the right one especially at a time when real estate is not doing well however. Just yesterday, this Bloomberg piece reported 'Singapore's Mall Vacancies Jump to Highest Level in a Decade'. There are many kinds of REITS including commercial, shipping, hospitality, healthcare and so on. Not all are retail focused but it is a minefield for investors to navigate now that the broad market sentiment is not at it's best. Buying into a ETF basket that reduces the risk of individual-Reit-picking comes to mind. At the moment I am in the evaluation mode only. I think this REIT as the first in it's class serves a particular niche. I am a chart person however, not a fundamentals guy so the chart picture is important. Unfortunately there is very scant data since it's just listed. Therefore this ETF in my keep-in-view mode only at this moment.
Buy a basket to diversify or buy the leader of the basket to outperform
Besides potential investment, I think that this REIT ETF has potential to be a benchmark 'index'. Since it is positioned to be a basket of 'dividend leader' REITS, performance of individual REITS in this high dividend category can be compared against the performance of the ETF itself. Readers should be familiar with this idea of relative performance such as the 'winners and losers' feature that I do for Straits Times Index and it's constituent stocks at the end of every quarter – something like this. In this example, the Straits Times Index delivered an end of Q3 performance of 1%. An investor who wants to outperform the index should immediately eye the top of the table leaders or any stock doing more than 1%.
A benchmark serves an investor this way – instead of diversifying, giving up the chance for outperformance by buying into a basket, an investor can strive to achieve outperformance by buying into individual constituents that are proven to outperform the basket/index itself. I will come back to this topic – to compare relative performance of component REITS against the Phillip SGX APAC Dividend Leaders REIT ETF itself once there is more data.

Matti Williams wants to give his parents a much more enjoyable Saints viewing experience this weekend.
The last time Williams' family were in attendance - for his Premiership debut against London Irish last April - the hooker broke his leg.
It saw him face a lengthy road to recovery, but the 23-year-old made his return in an LV= Cup win at Scarlets in November.
And Williams is now eager to put on a good show for his parents when they head to Welford Road to watch Saturday's LV= Cup clash with Leicester Tigers.
"When I broke my leg it was my parents' first game watching me so it wasn't great for them," Williams said. "But it happens and I think it's made me stronger.
"It wasn't great what happened last April but it's just part of the game. It was a freak injury.
"My parents are back for this weekend's game so hopefully we can get the win."
Williams, who sought solace in films and his Xbox during his spell on the sidelines, was given plenty of support.
As well as receiving an abundance of messages from supporters, his team-mates also rallied round, with Alex Corbisiero, who has had his own injury issues, a particularly big influence.
"Corbs came and visited me when I was still in hospital after my operation and he had a few words to say to me," said Williams.
"He's been there with his injuries so it's always good to have guys like that around you.
"The support I've had from the fans has been phenomenal and the conditioning staff and physios have really worked hard with me to get me to where I am now.
"Hopefully I've got a long career ahead of me and all of my injuries out of the way."
With Ross McMillan having made the move to Bristol this week, Williams is now a firm third choice - behind Dylan Hartley and Mike Haywood - in the Saints pecking order.
And the South African is hoping to stake his claim to rise up the ranks in Saturday's LV= Cup showdown.
And Williams said: "It's a great opportunity and I'm looking forward to it.
"Every time I put on a Saints shirt it's special so for me I just love playing, wherever it is: back pitches, Welford Road, wherever."

You just got… wormed! Fearne Cotton looks confused as she is pranked by Australian comedians on the street
10:56 GMT, 24 May 2012
It's always interesting to see how someone reacts when they become a victim of a random act.
Fearne Cotton proved she has a great sense of humor when she witnessed the latest internet craze worming as she ran errands in London.
Cotton's reaction to seeing Australian comedian Hamish Blake break into the caterpillar dance as she passed him by was priceless.
What the… Fearne Cotton was baffled as comic Hamish Blake did the worm whilst she ran errands in London
Hamish Blake and his partner in crime Andy Lee spotted Cotton and decided to perform the absurd stunt to see if they could get a reaction from her.
But obviously unaware what was going on the Radio 1 presenter keep her composure, smiled and slowly walked passed.
Confused.com: Cotton looked on as Blake continued to do the caterpillar themed dance
Enjoying the weather the 30-year-old presenter wore a loose fitting pink T-shirt with a pink and purple dip dye maxi dress from her range for Very.co.uk.
She teamed her outfit with a leopard print handbag and she wore her blonde locks down in a side parting.
Finishing off her look she wore a pair of blacked out sunglasses and accessorised with a silver watch and a silver necklace.
Just a normal day: As Hamish performed the stunt Fearne simply smiled and continued walking by

Funnily enough Andy and Hamish's shenanigans wasn't the only awkward encounter the former Top Of The Pops presenter faced.
Yesterday on her radio show she had the uncomfortable task on interviewing her ex boyfriend Ian Watkins when the Lostprophets stopped by to perform on her show.
Highlighting how potentially sticky the interview could prove, one of her Twitter followers tweeted, 'The awkward moment when @Fearnecotton interviews her ex live on @BBCR1'.
But not one to create negative vibes, she tweeted back, '@rollerhippo @BBCR1 ha no we are mates so all good!'

By Ray Bradbury
Directed by Katrina Stevenson
Sep. 5 – 30, 2012
Thu. – Sat. 8pm, Sun. 4pm
Tickets: $28
Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center for the Performing Arts
Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites. This cautionary tale reminds us not only of the evils of government tyranny but of individual complicity and inaction. This powerful drama mixed with elements of both comedy and horror was adapted for the stage by Bradbury himself, inspired in part by Francois Trouffaut's 1966 film.
The story centers on the inner struggle of Guy Montag who has worked as a civil servant for ten years burning books. He has become increasingly unsure about what he is doing with his life. It is not until he meets Clarisse, a young girl filled with strange ideas, that he is led into a dangerous and truly combustible situation. Now he must choose between continuing his nonexistent existence and risking everything for the right to think freely.
"Jobsite Theater aced it … compelling … a truly visceral experience." – Tampa Tribune
"It's not every entertainment that tempts the spectator to investigate Poe, Stevenson and Whitman. And even rarer is a pageant that achieves this end with artistry of its own." – Creative Loafing
Student Performances
Teachers: we have daytime performances of Fahrenheit 451 on Sep.
27 and 28 at 11am, and a greatly reduced student group rate. Write to email@example.com for more details and to reserve your seats!
Bluebird Books Bus Days
The Bluebird Books Bus will be in front of the Shimberg Playhouse on Sundays Sep. 16 and 30 from 2–4pm for public enjoyment. There will be a selection of classical, counter-cultural, dystopic and banned books available. Visitors may even be treated to a gilmpse of typewriter work by a "captive poet!"
Bluebird Books is a literary-themed mobile project space housed in a converted bus – part bookshop, part art house; it's a vehicle where readers of all ages can explore the written word. Donation-based sales of gently-used books, locally designed artist books, handmade notebooks and ephemera will support cultural events such as play readings, book-art exhibits, poetry readings, and bookmaking workshops for the community at large. At a time when public libraries and bookstores often struggle, Bluebird Books continues to celebrate the art of the book in all its forms.
Jobsite Producing Artistic Director David Jenkins offers that "this is a great way for us to continue to work with like-minded organizations in our community. We think this is a perfect partnership, and we hope that people will come down to the show early, enjoy the bus and a cold drink on a nice afternoon, and maybe even stroll over to the newly-appointed Curtis Hixon Park before the show."

Patron Reviews
My wife and I recently attended the performance of Fahrenheit 451. We used to go to the theater many years ago with greater frequency but the routines of life had pulled us away from it. The performance we experienced last week was exceptional and was one of the best nights out we had in a long time. Thank you for keeping culture alive in Tampa Bay. – Kevin Mulford

Amazing show. Congratulations to the amazing cast & crew of Jobsite! – Arlene VonderPorten Jacobs
Great show, I really enjoyed it. Makes me want to dig up my old copy of the book and read it. I would have loved to have seen this production in High School when reading the book. – Isabel Bertram
Congratulations on another masterful production. Every actor was spot on, and I especially appreciated the lighting and the set. – Rick Stutzel
I saw this amazing show last night …really terrific lighting effects, cool sound effects (where can I get a copy of those songs?) a really wonderful and versatile set and some incredible (gorgeous, BTW) actors!

Great cast; Great performance. Amazing set. Extremely serious stuff, but a delight to watch. Food for thought and conversation. Don't miss this one. – Jenny Lynn Olin
Bravo (and Brava) to all of the cast and crew! Last night's performance was exceptional. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a book you love adapted poorly…but you all did Farenheit 451 justice in a way that I imagine Bradbury himself would have thoroughly endorsed! Thanks for another great experience. 🙂 – Shelby Forbes
I enjoyed it a lot. That thing behind the door is really scary! – Bridget Bean
We saw the show on Saturday. The staging and acting were superb. Well done Jobsite! – Jim Carter
I saw it last week – it was fantastic! – Judith Sachs

We couldn't contain our perverse excitement when we read about a new makeover website called Taaz: Basically, you upload a photo and choose from different looks to try out...without ever having to enter a salon, medispa or plastic surgeon's office. But why would we want to make-over ourselves when we can make-over the very people who shill the promise of empowerment through aesthetics: the top three tastemakers in American women's fashion magazines, Vogue's Anna Wintour, ELLE's Robbie Myers, and Harper's Bazaar's Glenda Bailey? We wouldn't. After the jump, see what happens when we try (try!) to have Anna emulate French Vogue frenemy Carine Roitfeld, Robbie channel recent ELLE covergirl Victoria Beckham and Glenda pose as Angelina Jolie.
Anna Wintour We are so tired of Anna WIntour's damn bob and think she needsto learn a few lessons from Carine Roiteld about the perks of smudgey, grungey French chic. And voila! Tousled long red locks and bright red lips do just that. Anna Before:
Anna After:
Robbie Myers Robbie, like Anna, also sports a trademark 'do: Long wispy bangs, hair pulled into a loose chignon. But unlike Anna's style, we think Robbie's really suits her. So we thought our only option was to take her from tousled and natural to the look sported by recent covergirl Victoria Beckham: Short, blonde, and alien-esque. Robbie Before:
Robbie After:
Glenda Bailey In dire need of a new look is Glenda Bailey, a woman who seems to have never met a comb or a tube of lipstick. (In her defense, she's stubborn) So we tried vampy old-school glamour, the opposite of Glenda's new look, with long Angelina-esque locks. Hmm, on second thought, we think her Simpsons makeover was a helluva lot better. Glenda Before:
Glenda After:

F29 Retaliator is a combat flight simulator video game developed by Digital Image Design and published by Ocean Software in 1989 Amiga and Atari ST, 1991 for the PC, and for the FM Towns and NEC PC-9801 in 1992-1993. Its working title was just Retaliator. The game was developed during the end of the Cold War, based mostly on speculations on then-future aircraft that were expected to be in use by the year 2002, in particular based on the design of the Lockheed Martin F-22 and the Grumman X-29A.
The graphics were detailed by the standards of the period, featuring cities, bridges, roads, islands, mountains and moving vehicles. The cockpit of either the F-22 or the X-29A has three multi-function displays available to set up in a number of configurations. The fantastic "future" weapons to choose from include a fighter-carried Tomahawk cruise missile, rearward-firing AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and a gigantic cluster bomb.[1]
The game includes four war scenarios (Arizona desert test and training sites, Pacific conflict, Middle East conflict and the World War III in Europe) each with several missions, with the total number of those adding up to 99. The last mission of the game can be any of three, and completion of each one leads to different game endings. The PC version allowed head-to head dogfighting using a null modem cable.
The game received 4 out of 5 stars in Dragon.[2] Computer Gaming World described F29 as a less-expensive alternative which "still offers a solid game-playing experience, with limitations". While noting limitations such as a small game environment, the magazine concluded that "despite its limitations, F-29 is an enjoyable diversion" for those new to flight simulators.[3] A 1992 survey in the magazine of wargames with modern settings gave the game three stars out of five,[4] and a 1994 survey in the magazine gave it two stars out of five, describing it as "rather generic in nature".[5] Retaliator was ranked the 36th best game of all time by Amiga Power in 1991.[6]
A "Special Mission" add-on was released with ZERO magazine in 1990, featuring a battle against the alien spacecraft from the then-upcoming space combat game EPIC.[7] Retaliator 2, announced in 1990 to be released in the first quarter of 1991,[8] was never released as the team concentrated on finishing EPIC (released in 1992 and using an improved engine of F29). However, DID would later create three further, much more realistic F-22 simulators: TFX (1993), F-22: Air Dominance Fighter (1997), and F-22 Total Air War (1998).

November 2012 Writing Contest Winner
Congratulations to Sarah Smith of Fairbanks for taking top prize in our Alzheimer's Awareness Month Writing Contest. Read an excerpt from The Weight of Memory below.
"My grandmother sits at the dining table in her small, dimly lit living room. She has just gotten off the phone with my aunt, the widow of her son five years gone. She has been chatting with her, sharing the latest news, for a quarter of an hour. When she hangs up the phone, she turns to me with a puzzled look on her face, and asks: "Who is Donna?" "Donna is my aunt," I say, "Donna was David's wife, remember?" I ask, feeling alarmed. "David? Who is David?" It is then that I realize the extent of her memory-loss."

Born in Reading, Pennsylvania and now residing in Los Angeles, Richie first began playing piano at the age of five. Later, at the age of seven and inspired by a Kiss poster, Richie took up playing guitar. Amazingly by the time Richie reached the age of seventeen, he had traveled back and forth across the United States playing in excess of five hundred gigs, opening for acts such as the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Greg Allman and the Smithereens. It was during that year that Richie released his first eponymously titled record on Shrapnel Records and graced the cover of several publications including Guitar World magazine..
Richie's success and virtuoso playing caught the eye of Bret Michaels, lead singer of the multi-platinum act Poison. Richie was asked to join the band at the age of twenty. The album Native Tongue was released in 1993 and achieved platinum worldwide sales, and produced two top twenty singles which Richie wrote "Stand" and "Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)". Appearances on numerous national TV shows such as Letterman and The Arsenio Hall show followed on the heals of intense MTV coverage. The video for "Stand" which included backing vocals by the entire AME Church Choir, was a Top 10 video on MTV's Most Wanted. Once again Richie graced the covers of numerous magazines. A world tour followed with sold out dates from London to Los Angeles. Following a controversial split with Poison, Richie continued his solo career releasing albums in various musical genres ranging from Rock to Soul and ultimately Fusion. Richie's cult status was also beginning to grow, especially in Japan where Richie released classic albums such as "Wave Of Emotion" and "What is".
1999 proved to be a crucial year. Legendary fusion bassist Stanley Clarke had been approached by Sony Music to put together a new band that could bring Fusion into the Millennium. Stanley called on the talents of his old cohort Lenny White and set about finding other virtuoso musicians. After exhaustive auditions the band 'Vertu' (pronounced virtue) was ready, Stanley and Lenny where joined by Rachel Z (Keyboards), Karen Briggs (Violin) and, of course, Richie on guitar. A massive tour of Europe commenced on the back the album, providing many of Richie's fans a chance to see him play in the flesh for the first time since his Poison years. Hopefully when Clarke can find time in his busy schedule scoring films Vertu will rise again.
Even with having to perform with Vertu Richie found time to release two more solo albums in 1999, the first a true Blues album "Bi Polar Blues" which seamlessly mixed classic standards and home grown tunes and the second album "Break It All Down", released on JVC Victor for Japan, a more up to date sounding collection with its feet still firmly seated in the Blues.
1999 also was the year that saw guitarist Paul Gilbert leave the band Mr Big wishing to concentrate on more personal matters. With a massive following in Japan Mr Big's remaining band members, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey, were under great pressure to find a suitable replacement in time to start work on a new album. Having worked together on a previous album Sheehan turned to Richie to fill the gap. The aptly titled "Get Over It" sold more than 175,000 copies in its first two weeks in Japan and was followed by a successful Asian wide tour.
With the release of "Get Over It" worldwide and the re-release of Richie's Asian titles into the American and Europe market the new Millennium is set to be an exciting one for both Richie Kotzen and his fans

Customer review
The card arrived promptly, packaging had clearly been opened before and was cosmetically damaged in places. Anti-stat bag was crumpled but intact. Arrived with instructions, driver disk and crossfire bridge but no free game codes! :-(
This is the second of these cards I have bought and the fans on the B-grade unit are as silent as the one I bought brand new a month ago. ASIC is 77% and it doesn't overclock v much at all, which I suspect is why it was returned in the first place.
Now running both cards in crossfire at stock clocks and they're purring nicely. Very happy with my first adventure into the b-grade lines and at
Would advise against
The fans put on these units are faulty my design. One of the fans resonates off the heatsink. There is a moderately easy fix on the internet for this but that seems totally unacceptable for an out the box product!

Good is the bitter, sworn enemy of the great" –Voltaire's quote referred by Prof.Jim Collins (Good to Great).We agree with Prof. Collins.

Chairman's Message : The Future StoryMr. Silajit GhoshChairman, Team Future
There was a time when we, located in the eastern part of India, realized that southbound students, bursting out of trains would leave their city to pursue their ambitions of higher technical education, as if there future was lost here. There rose the question of whether we could reverse this direction, at a time when the options the state offered in terms of engineering and management remained few and far between. We were privileged to bring together a choice team of like-minded academics and industrialists to cultivate the wide angled learning culture which gave birth to Team Future, which today, umbrellas the fields of engineering, management, school education, media, healthcare, publishing and more.In a quick span of time, Future Education has established itself as a no-frills, quality and value driven group and is considered by all stakeholders, to be amongst the top players spanning the landscape of private education providers in the state. Future Alumni spreads across India, USA, Canada, Europe, UAE and Australia. Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Fiskar, Volvo, Cummins and nearly all IT giants and consultants including PWC, Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Wipro have been hiring Futurities. In addition to global placements and higher studies pursued by our students in renowned universities such as the IIMs, IITs, Jadavpur University and Yale University, among others, Team Future proudly celebrates a number of young entrepreneurs who form a part of our alumni.Our MBA program follows a hands-on approach to higher learning, where students are encouraged to undertake Summer Internship Programs as part of their curriculum where they learn the rungs of management by working with firms such as Deloite, PwC, HDFC Bank, Airtel, Larsen & Toubro, Nestle, IBM,Infosys, Emami, BalmerLawrie, IMRB etc. This has been a highly lauded feature of our curse and has been appreciated by corporate leaders and academicians alike.As we watch yet another batch graduate, I feel a sense of deep gratitude towards our corporate recruiters who come in and allow large numbers of our students an opportunity to work with them. I would also appreciate the tireless effort put forth by the faculty and staff at our institute in ensuring world-class academic and service delivery. We reiterate the faith we have in our students that drives them to achieve commendable scores in university examinations as well as secure top grade placements with some of the most reputed firms across the globe.These remarkable achievements have been reciprocated, year after year, by the unwavering support offered to us by our students, guardians, corporate clients, statutory and regulatory bodies and collaborating institutes of international repute.This encourages us to dedicate ourselves with a renewed vigour to the greater cause of nurturing young minds, serving industry needs and continuing our quest for innovation-driven training and application based research in the emerging fields of technology and management.It is with great confidence today that I invite you to join us in our journey to build the leaders of tomorrow. –

The Trinamool Congress is plagued by factionalism. The rivalry between sitting TMC MLA Shiuli Saha and Subhendu Adhikary, the TMC MP from Tamluk under which Haldia assembly seat falls, is well-known. Shiuli Saha has been suspended from the party. The CPM has also become weak due to expulsion of its former Haldia MP and strongman Lakshman Seth, who is known for his alleged involvement in the Nandigram violence which led to the ouster of the Left from power after its 34 years of rule in West Bengal.
|Name of the Candidate
|Party Name
|Tapasi Mondal

Haldia is currently represented in the legislative assembly of West Bengal by its sitting MLA Shiuli Saha who won the seat in 2011 on behalf of the TMC by defeating CPM's Nityananda Bera by a comfortable margin of 11924 votes. In that election Shiuli Saha, who is close to disgruntled TMC leader Mukul Roy, polled 89573 votes, the CPM's nominee secured 77649 votes and was followed by BJP's Kalipada Das who managed to get only 4,640 votes.
Reserved for the candidates belonging to the scheduled castes, Haldia is one of the sixteen assembly constituencies located in the Purba Medinipur of west Bengal. The constituency is formed by areas covered by Haldia municipality and Sutahata block.
Haldia, which came into being before 2011 assembly elections in place of Sutahata assembly constituency, is one of the seven assembly segments that are within the jurisdiction of the Tamluk parliamentary constituency.
In the 2011 assembly poll to Haldia, there was a total electorate of 188653. Out of the total electors, 99554 were males and 89099 were females

Raw Story: FBI foils alleged Chicago bomb plot
Another case of informant mishandling?
FBI foils alleged Chicago bomb plot | Raw Story
A Lebanese immigrant was arrested after placing what he believed to be a bomb in a trash bin outside a Chicago nightclub in an alleged plot to overthrow the mayor, officials said Monday.
Sami Samir Hassoun, 22, was under regular surveillance and attempted to carry out the plot with the help of an FBI informant who introduced him to undercover FBI agents, the FBI said in a press release.
Officials emphasized that "at no time was the public in danger" and that there was "no indication that any foreign or domestic terror groups were in any way connected to this plot or inspired Hassoun."
The FBI directed their informant to befriend Hassoun in the spring of 2009 based on information that was not contained in the criminal complaint.

Take a close look at the picture below. Closer. I'm the batter. It's from a game played in 1981. It might as well be a picture from the baseball's Dead Ball Era compared to what we see today.
What struck me immediately was that I'm not wearing a helmet. Then I remembered the catchers didn't wear any equipment other than a face mark. Though the ball we played with was rubber ball which is what they used in Japan (we were playing a team from Tokyo), it was still a hard ball so I don't know how we got away without wearing any equipment. What really got me laughing though was the umpire. He looks like he came off the set of The Richard Simmons' Show.
This wasn't some minor little baseball game out in the back of beyond. The game was played in Central Park. It was the opening game of the Nanshiki Baseball Games, a.k.a., the Friendship Series, five games played across the five boroughs that pitted a team of 11- and 12-year-old all-stars from New York City against a team of all-stars from Tokyo. There was news coverage – John Tesh, he started out as a TV news sports reporter, gave me two of my 15 minutes of fame when he interviewed me for the nightly news – and some congressman made sure we were mentioned in the Congressional Record. You'd never know it from the picture though.
Today we seem to get rankled if there aren't two umpires with 15 certification badges on their uniforms at an 8U tournament game or if the field isn't in pristine condition or there are no batting cages. Every kid has their own bat, two usually, batting gloves, an infield glove, an outfield glove and a first baseman's mitt. My kids are no exception.
I'm not saying it was better in 1981 and I'm certainly not intending to minimize youth sports injuries. It's a little nuts they let us bat without helmets, rubber ball or not. But when we treat the players like mini-major leaguers and we expect the fields to be mini-major league stadiums and we expect the umpires to be major-league umpires, we start looking at the games like they are the World Series. We lose sight of the fact the games really don't matter. Worse, we start to teach the kids the trappings are important rather than "just go out and play." Second game of our summer season. As the visitors stroll in to our admittedly horrible fields, one of the kids turns to a teammate and says, "These dugouts don't even have roofs."
Sure, we took the games seriously and our coaches coached hard and they coached to win. But take another look at the photo. No one is asking the people behind the plate to move as if somehow they will have an effect on the game. The bat I'm using was one of four we had for the entire team, and in a million years I never would have thought of asking my parents for batting gloves. And then there's that umpire who I can't help but think was fished out of the stands.
None of it detracted from the game or made us play any differently or made a difference in the game itself – we won though the series ended 2-2-1. It was the most fitting outcome, and one I couldn't imagine being allowed to happen today.

It's time to book your Disney tickets and you're faced with two main options: Base Tickets or Park Hoppers. What should you choose?
This is one of those topics that everyone has a different opinion. You've heard from Lindsey about the Park Hopper option and today I'm giving you all the deets on the Base Ticket.
At this time in our life, we are base ticket kind of people. Not only are they more affordable, but we find that with toddlers, it's the option that is best suited for us.
What's the difference? With a base ticket you can enter one park per day, as many times as you'd like. So, let's say you're visiting the Magic Kingdom but you want to head back to the hotel for a nap. No problem. After your rest you are able to re-enter the park using the same base ticket. However, if you wanted to switch things up and head to Epcot that afternoon, you would need the park hopper.
My kids were three and four when we visited in December 2013. We knew that, for us, we wouldn't be able to do more than one park in a day - it would overwhelm them, and probably us! We were so glad that we went with base tickets for that trip.
We're headed back in November 2014 and they will be almost four (his birthday is the following week) and almost six (in January). I've planned out each day of our trip based around one park, which was really easy to do. Since I took the time to plan out our whole schedule, the base tickets will work great for us again.
Does that mean we will always be base ticket people?
Yes and no.
In November of 2015 we will be taking another Disney trip, but this time with my family. For that trip I will likely do Park Hoppers. Pleasing a big group of people is a lot harder than making decisions for my family of four! I doubt I could plan everyone's schedules based around a single park per day and keep everyone happy. I will be planning 99% of the trip for everyone, but I'm sure they'd all appreciate the ability to do something different if they want!
We're hoping to be there during Epcot's Food and Wine Festival which is a perfect example of why we would need Park Hopper's for that trip. If we wanted to spend the morning at Magic Kingdom but pop over to eat our way around the festival at night, then that is the ticket we would need!
Both ticket options are great; you just have to weigh the pros and cons for your family and find which one is best for you! In either case, be sure to check out our post on how to SAVE on Disney tickets!

Mary Shaver
March 29 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pmFree
The little girl grows up and buys her first record albums. Janis Joplin is a favorite. Later she sees Stevie Nicks in concert and is mesmerized by her sultry vocal delivery. These are the sounds that inspire a teenager's passion for blues and R&B – music with grit and soul.
Mary Shaver has been singing all her life. She is first and foremost a blues artist influenced by the likes of Slim Harpo and Big Mama Thornton. She labels her own style as "Texas, Louisiana and Chicago Blues meets Memphis Soul," and local critics and musicians have likened her powerful voice to all her idols. But her path as an artist has not been a particularly straight or smooth one.

The สมัครฟรี Invasive Species Council of British Columbia's (ISCBC) Local Government Network provides coordination, dialogue, resources, and other opportunities for local governments working on invasive species management. Supported by the ISCBC's Local Government Network, local government staff from across the province have collaborated to produce an สมัครฟรี Invasive Species White Paper – Call to Action.
The White Paper is aimed at garnering elected official support for the appropriate commitment of resources to reduce the risks and impacts posed by invasive species. The impacts of invasive species are far reaching as they affect infrastructure, human health & safety, and biodiversity. Key examples of invasive species that cause significant impacts to infrastructure, human health & safety, and biodiversity are: Japanese Knotweed, Giant hogweed, European fire ants, and wild parsnip.
The White Paper asks local government elected officials and staff a series of questions designed to help assess their readiness to take action against invasive species. Please contact the ISCBC local government representatives, below, for more information on local government species management.

Masuimi headlines events all over the world with her creative stage shows and travels often for her photoshoots, model coaching, workshops and other projects. She has been all over the US, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Japan, Spain, Switzerland.. more to come!
Visit her Calendar for a list of tour dates and shows.
Mary Popsout
Practically perfect in every way! This is Mary Poppins as you've never seen her before! Mary Pops Out! Gliding on to the stage in a full latex costume to the gloriously naughty cover of My Favourite Things by Christa Hughes, Masuimi is a sweet as a spoonful of sugar. She teases her audience with a smile and perhaps a glimpse of stockings... Like Poppins said herself, "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun."
But as Poppins also said, "Anything can happen if you let it!" Although she probably wasn't expecting what happens next!
Midway through the first song, those latex bloomers come off, followed by the rest of the Poppins costume, underneath which Masuimi is a cheerleader like no other, clad in the tiniest of latex miniskirts and dancing to Mob Scene by Marilyn Manson. Perhaps Julie Andrews would approve; she did once flash her boobs, after all.
But well begun is half done!
To the tune of Venom's highly inappropriate In League With Satan, Masuimi is joined on stage by some scantly-clad ladies who bathe her in red wine, cavorting and kissing and, well, as Poppins said, "You can close your mouth! We are not codfish!" Clearly this is not a show for the feint of heart. It's super-sexy-most outrageous-hardly any clothes on!
Black Widow vs Human Fly
Arachnophobes beware!
Or perhaps not...
After all, doesn't your heart race a little when you see one of those eight-legged nightmares creepy-crawling your way? And this is no nightmare, but your heart will race all the same.
For her Black Widow/Human Fly routine, Masuimi Max takes to the stage to Rob Zombie's Dragula, on her one-of-a-kind motorised chair, part spider, part fetishists dream, each of her eight legs wearing high-heeled ballet boots that are a danger in themselves. Dressed in black, she rides around with legs twitching in all directions, marching to the beat of the song. It's creepy and hot at the same time, and it only gets hotter as Masuimi begins to undress, captivating her audience, drawing them deeper into her web.
As the song fades, she climbs from the chair – yes, she can actually dance in those boots! – and the spider becomes the fly, an altogether more playful creature, shaking her assels to the Cramps Human Fly, with all eyes upon her...in more ways than one. Suddenly there are eyes on her ass, eyes on her boobs, and the fly buzzes , buzz, buzz, buzz, tantalising and titillating like no other show on earth.
And now your heart's racing and it has nothing to do with spiders!
© 2010-present. This show debuted in 2010 and was revamped in 2016 for her performance at the Fetish and Fantasy Ball held at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, NV. 50 photos by Morat featured in the Vault.
Red Spider
Hidden behind beautiful red wings, Masuimi emerges onto the stage to the aptly named, seductive sounds of Paranormal Activity by Lords Of Acid, a simple movement captivating her audience as she stands, not on tiptoe but on point, like a ballerina. Slowly she draws back the wings to reveal that not only is she doing something that takes years of training (and making it look easy!), but she is doing so blindfolded! Further revealed is a one of a kind bodysuit and cage skirt, designed – as were the wings – by Charismatico, and what appear to be large spiders clinging to her head, all in the most vivid red. She barely has to move in order to mesmerize to crowd, but, well, that's not the Masuimi way...
As the song picks up pace, she performs outrageous back bends and acts of contortion – it helps being naturally double-jointed – before switching back and forth between playful and perhaps just a little mysterious.
But that's not where the mystery ends...
As the second song kicks in, those big, red spiders on her head appear to have moved of their own accord, becoming pasties that bounce on her boobs, and then somehow sticking to her butt as that, too, bounces and gyrates. By now, Masuimi is wearing little else, so it's a good thing these spiders seem to be under her control...as are the audience.
© 2015-present. Photos by Morat - from Masuimi's performance at the Bike and Tattoo show held in Montreal, Canada.
Snake Charmer
I start off as a sultry snake.. then I peel the snake costume off to reveal my Cleopatra costume, then I strip it all off and bathe in gold.
Music: Snake Charmer by Randall Standridge and Reptile by NIN
I made the entire snake costume and 10 foot snake prop.. and Morat filmed the madness. It was madness for 3 days, strings and bits of fabrics everywhere, and my cat rolling around in it all. My sewing machine died after I made the last stitch. Talk about timing!
Inspired by the movie 'Secretary', debuted NYE 2012 at the Riviera Resort & Spa Grand Ballroom!
This show starts with Coz I luv You by Slade, I'm sitting, blindfolded, and attached to a separator bar with my back facing the audience.. then I stand up and strut across the stage (blindfolded).. then magically I balance the bar vertically on the stage.. I then strip out of my shirt and place it on top of the bar.. the second song is performed to Shakin All Over with my assels!
Fire Shows
My first stage show was with fire! I've done a lot of different themes with fire, costumes, music, and props vary depending on the event.
Debuted at the BLACK UNICORN -VS- BONDAGEL BALL event held at the Dragonfly in Hollywood on September 20, 2013. I made the panier from scratch, everything from bending, shaping, cutting, adding snaps.. I also made the skirt and customized the corset and lingerie. Also featured in this show is a 'magic box' that I made to showcase different themes. It switches from a fancy red and gold theme to a beautiful garden of Eden. This show consists of 4 songs; Libertango by Grace Jones, Murder in the Graveyard by Screaming Lord Sutch, Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie and A Place In Time by Amanda Abizaid. The first song I hand out flowers to the audience. Second song I take off my skirt to reveal the panier with hidden skeleton bones. Third song I take most of my costume off. Fourth song I go back into the magic box and spin it around to reveal the garden of Eden.. complete with a sparkling apple! Inspired by one of my favorite films - Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Booty Twirl
The Original - Booty Twirl Assels Show © 2010
Show starts off with 'Booty Swing' the fun, energetic song by Parlov. I am wearing my huge fluffy white hair with bunny ears by the Velvet Village and corset by Jupiter Moon 3 (customized with pearls and swarovski crystals by me) – I make my entrance, dance and prance – and then.. BAM! I lift my skirt and start spinning my ass-tassles! The first song is full of energy, I dance and strip out of my costume and I even take off my white wig just in time for my second song to start! The mood of the show changes, the second song is slower and sexier. My hair is long and dark and I'm only wearing pasties, panties and my crystal necklace.. and then I end up wearing a lot of milk! See for yourselves!
Full size photos and videos are featured in the Members area.
Performed in London (England), Calgary (Canada), Vancouver (Canada), Perth (Australia), Barcelona (Spain), Hollywood (California) and Chicago (Illinois), New York (NY), Ft. Lauderdale (Florida), San Antonio (Texas), Phoenix (Arizona), Boston (Massachusetts)..
*(Corset by Jupiter Moon 3, Swarovski crystals added by Masuimi)
Unicorn vs Pegasus
I start off as a fancy unicorn and turn into a pegasus when I reveal my white feather fans.
My first song is Ride a White Horse by Goldfrapp and my second song is Mysterious Ways by KMFDM
This show debuted at the Jupiter Moon 10th anniversary event held at Korova in San Antonio on Saturday, September 17, 2011.
I created this costume.. slaved over it for days. Even got a crystal embedded into my foot and had to finish making the costume soaking my foot in salt water to help draw it out.
Performed in New York, London, Florida, San Antonio, Phoenix, Boston, Calgary, Vancouver, Hollywood and Chicago
Black Widow vs Human Fly
Black Widow spider chair © 2010 Masuimi Max
I envisioned a black widow chair with fetish ballet boots.. so I found mannequins with approx. the same size legs as mine, and attached them to a tiny chair, with space for me to sit in the front. I bought 4 pairs of ballet boots, one pair for me to wear and the rest for my extra legs! I envisioned the legs moving, so I asked my friend Tony from Sword and Stone to help. He's a real blacksmith and does amazing work. He attached my extra legs to the chair with hinges, so I could lift them up and down. The show starts off with me sitting in the chair, moving all of the legs, including mine, up and down.. then I get up and dance a bit, before revealing that I'm actually the Human Fly (love the Cramps!) when I take the spider costume off. My fly wings pop open and I display my giant fly eyeballs that were previously hidden in my hair. I end the show sitting in my chair, pretending to be a spider again, but this time I'm in pasties and tiny underwear.
Music: More Human Than Human by White Zombie and Human Fly by the Cramps
Performed in Barcelona, San Antonio, Phoenix, Chicago, Boston, Calgary, San Francisco, New York, and Portland
"Electric Barbarella" by Duran Duran plays as the stage lights shine down on a mysterious mid size box. Masuimi emerges out of the box in a robotic fashion and starts to dance. She pulls out a makeshift vacuum out of the box and begins cleaning the stage in a teasing fashion to the audience. The music shifts to "You Gotta Burn" by the Dwarves. A beautiful girl dressed in red comes onto the stage and tempts Max to bite into a forbidden apple. Beginning Masuimi's transformation , her clothes fall to the floor, and her hair changes from bouncy Barbie blonde, to luscious raven locks. Masuimi comes to life in human form, and is allured to be intimate with the girl who forced her to the forbidden fruit. An erotically dressed woman in a cop uniform ends the performance by arresting them both.
Good Vibrations
The Good Vibrations Show made its first appearance in 2008. "Good Vibrations" by Psychic TV begins the show echoing of Hawaiian tones corresponding to Masuimi costumed in a grass skirt and leigh. Masuimi is accompanied by a fog machine for ambience and a tiki bathtub with twenty coconut drinks hidden within. The light hearted nature of the show calls for a slow sensual dance routine, as she playfully throws the leighs into the audience. Things start to heat up as she begins to tantalize the audience taking off her grass skirt baring herself in a mere bikini. With the signal of Harry Nilsson's "Put the Lime In the Coconut", Masuimi lights her torches and enthralls the audience in her fire solo. The show simmers down as Masuimi empties her tiki tub for her final act, she passes out Malibu Rum in coconut cups to the audience. Masuimi leaves the audience with a final vision of her immersing herself in a lavish hot bath.
Milk Show
LATEX MILK SHOW © Masuimi Max
This show made its debut in 2004 for the Torture Garden Event in Japan. Masuimi starts the show as she draws the audience in with her trademark execution of configuring her body in sensual profiles on the stage platform. Music of Massive Attack or Reverend Horton Heat sets the atmosphere for her dark attire in a black or white latex cat suit attached with matching latex stockings. The audience is in for surprise when she suddenly cuts the latex off.
Kali on Fire
This show debuted at a Pinup Girl Clothing event. Curtains open to reveal Masuimi with 4 arms, the arms dancing in a smooth unison. Masuimi is dressed to embody the goddess Kali. Blue body paint is glazed upon her skin with gold rhinestone jewelry resting on her body. A doll head necklace around her neck, is in place of the common depiction of Kali's necklaces of human skulls in mythic artwork. Masuimi shows impressive forms of flexibility in doing a backbend with no use of her hands, or hands tied. Her stretch converts to another pose sliding to the ground or to a standing pose. Masuimi and her partner dance in a synchronicity with fire fans and feed each other lit torches. In perfect alignment of Rob Zombie's "Blood, Milk, Sky", the show concludes with both dancers drinking followed by pouring milk and red wine on one another.
Tub of Fire
This show was first unveiled in her performance for the title Miss Dallas & Ft. Worth in 1999. Masuimi won! Max brought her vision to life by inserting fire proof wicking and lighter fluid in a cut metal tub, originally having been an animal feeder. The finished effect was exactly what the Max had dreamed of, Masuimi emerging in a ring of fire.
The curtains open to reveal Masuimi perched on a chair. Masuimi impels the crowd to the music of "Gold Finger". She strips out of her suit down to her lingerie, following with acts of curving her shapely figure with an emphasis on her sock garters. Masuimi pulls a member from the audience to drink wine off her toe as finishes the act in pouring it down her body.
