Half Moon Bay Weyr - Rooftop Garden
Soft grasses form a lawn central to this open air garden, producing a pleasant picnic space. Surrounding this greenery is a sanded and bordered path that wends around it and continues toward the front of the roof, where the pleasant aromas of cultivated herbs waft on the breeze. Rock gardens and low-hanging tropical trees form shelter from the elements, combined with an overhanging jut of the caldera wall, underneath which benches and sun chairs have been arrayed, rather like a natural gazebo.
The heat of Half Moon Bay has been particularly unforgiving today, but it also means one very good thing: clear skies. It isn't exactly evening yet, but Rukbat is starting its graceful descent downwards, bleeding a cacophony of vibrant colors into the sky overhead. Ila'den's made home on in the rooftop garden, picking out a particularly empty stretch of grass to spread out a blanket and deposit his own body. He's still fully clad from head to toe: leathers tucked into boots, with a white tunic clinging to his arms and coming down towards his thighs. The bronzerider is buried in a book - or appears to be anyway, but the tale-tell even in-and-out of his chest paints another picture entirely: he is asleep. He is asleep, with a book open-paged and askew on his face, with a jug beside him that MAY BE BOOZE, but is more likely some pilfered water.
Sundari is minus a few kidlet's today and is wandering her way through the gardens to gather a few things it seems. With the kids staying in the weyr more she has found herself cooking more, and what better way to use the gardens then to grab a few things for said dinnerings? She has a basket in hand, and while Ila can be covered in his leather's she has went for a tunic and shorts thank you to try and avoid the heat some what, sared up leg from her past dealing with a feline clearly seen and of course that growning baby belly not able to be hidden at all. There is a pause as she catches sight of Ila'den and looks a bit amused while catching sight of the bronzer and chuckles softly while moving on to whree he is and peeks down seeing that he is clearly asleep. "Have no idea how this is comfortable for you Ila'den."
If Sundari's approach and subsequent voice startle Ila'den, it doesn't show. The bronze rider's slow to pull his book from his face, blinking grey eyes up at Sundari that squint against the remaining light and try to focus on the pregnant bluerider above him. "Sunny," comes sleep-husky tones, and the bronzer is shifting onto an elbow before sitting up. Open book is placed page-down on one knee, calloused fingers rub at one eye and then send his already hopeless hair further askew, and then he's giving the woman a smile. He is /tired/, it's obvious: eyes are, as always, red, his stubble has clearly been untouched for a good two days, and he's looking a little worse for the wear. Still, he's glancing around the gardens before pushing up the sleeves of his tunic to the crease of his elbows, and then reaching out one hand for Sundari to take in the even she'd like to join him on his blanket and /not/ tip over. Her center of gravity is, after all, changing. "What are you doing out here? Where is D'nyl?"
Sundari looks on a bit amused like as she watches him before taking hold taking hold of the offered hand and slowly sits down there next to him upon the blanket with a soft breath escaping her. "Came to get some stuff for when I cook for the kids later." The basket is set down and she brushes her hands off and hums a bit while looking to the bronzer a bit at the question. "His, around. Looking about the same as you honestly. Not sleeping much are you?" This qestioned with a curious tone. Seems like there all in the same boat when it comes to the sleeping routine.
"Oh? What's for dinner?" The bronzerider is ALL UP IN SUNNY'S BASKET (which is probably WOEFULLY EMPTY), pausing in his ransacking when grey eyes jump up to Sundari for her question and a smile that's not /really/ a smile crosses his lips with fleeting permanence. "Aye, little bird. Hard to sleep when you see evil in every shadow. If it helps, I wouldn't mind coming over for a night and being an extra pair of eyes. I'll stay on the ledge, of course, but perhaps D'nyl will rest." A pause, and then Ila'den feigns a contrite pout as he pushes away the basket in a sulk. "Tease," he breathes, clearly meaning her CURRENT LACK OF FOOD, and then he's reaching over to put his hand on that ever-growing belly without permission - you know, in usual Ila fashion. "How is the little one?" he inquires only then, attention fixated on swollen flesh.
Sundari looks a bit amused as he takes hold of the basket and chuckles softly. "Fish and whatever herb's and veggies I find in the garden while I am here. You are more then welcome to come Ila'den." She points towards the bushes near him. "Some mint bushes there if you want something to chew on." A soft smile is seen to him parking on the ledge. "I don't think it would help him rest. I worry about him… More with every passing day." A slight smirk is seen at the sudden attack of the HUGE hand to her bell which she allows because it /is/ Ila. "She's good, starting to keep me awake at night, earlier then the other's so I'm rather sure she willbe a wild child." This said with an amused tone as she shifts to lean back resting so her hands are behind her a bit which allows him to touch said baby-bump.
LOOK AT ILA'DEN. This is his UNAMUSED face. Grey eyes fix on Sundari, that mouth is a mere slit of UNAMUSED, and then he's grabbing her basket again, and Putting it on his head. Like a hat. There's zero shame, he keeps his hand on her stomach, and he leans juuuuust slightly so that grey eyes can try to distinguish just /which/ plant is the minty one. There's an exasperated roll of his eyes back in Sundari's direction when she comments on her child, followed by the ghost of a smile. "Well. You /are/ her mother." A HER. He tucks this knowledge AWAY SOMEWHERE. FOR THE FUTURE. Still, basket still on his head, the former Weyrleader assumes all fours and goes crawling along in the DIRT OF THE GARDEN, because shame long since abandoned this man, and - ah! He grabs a plant, he sticks it in his mouth and /Faranth/, but the look of disgust he gives Sunny is telling. There's a cough, a near-wheezed, "Not that one." And then he's OFF TO CRAWLING AGAIN. MAYBE THIS ONE! The mint is found. Ila'den pops it in his mouth, shifts to sit on his bottom almost Indian style and chews, looking for all the world as if he's a cat and mint is the cream. More than likely, he's trying to distract Sundari. "He'll be fine," comes the sudden and soft encouragement, before the bronzer is tilting his head back towards the garden and pointing to another plant. "What's that one?" HE IS ALREADY ON HIS WAY TO PUT IT IN HIS MOUTH. STOP HIM SUNNY.
Sundari blinks as she looks after Ila'den and looks a bit amused with a soft smile seen while letting her hand rest upong her belly a moment. "Wait…" To late it seems and she chuckles softly. "That was a weed I think." She grins a bit and shakes her her head before she is trying to get up, which takes her a few tries thanks to said growing baby belly, and she is huffing a bit. "Darnit.." Is muttered softly. "I hope he will be… As much as he worries about life without me I know if tables were turned I'd be in a much worse case without him in my life." She glances to him and errs. "Wait that's bitter root!" Well she did try, but she isn't that quick and he is quicker then her twins!
When Sundari is moving to get up, Ila'den is halting his ridiculous act to gain his feet with unerring fluidity and taking advantage of long legs to close the gap separating him from Sundari. He pulls her to her feet, gentle, and makes a face that can only be described as conspiratorial. "You couldn't have said that /any/ sooner?" comes that husky, teasing burr, and then he's letting the pregnant woman go, BACK ON THE PROWL, TRYING ALL THE - ACK! His nose scrunches up, Ila'den's tongue sloooowly makes its way back out of his mouth, and he makes a sound that /might/ have been a whimper if he was prone to indignities. He is not, so that grunt of disgust is /perfectly manly/, thank you very much. "'Unny, istewibble." The bronzerider stands there, looking like he's having a sad, before he gives in to his fate and swallows it down. His shoulders slump, in a comical imitation of defeat, and then he's making his way right back to Sunny and pulling her in for the hug he hadn't yet greeted her with. "You are /really/ terrible at warnings, little bird. I mean, throw a shoe or something." And a kiss is planted, right on her temple, though he doesn't let her go. He is quivering. With laughter? Possibly. He just gives her a tighter squeeze.
Sundari chuckles softly and smiles. "I'm sorry Ila'den.. I wasn't paying attention. I didn't expect a grown man to go trying every leaf on ever plant." She points out with a teasing tone with a grin seen. "You don't eat the leaves, you use the root in stews and such tomake 'em thicker." She has picked up a few things during her turns at the wyr when it comes to cooking. She blinks at the sudden hug and gives him a hug back as best she can. There is a moment though, and she is attemping to figure out if he is laughing there. "I'm not very good at warning's unless I'm warning a weyrling or young dragong from doing something dumb." She pauses and lifts her had a bit to try and look up at the bronzer. "Ila… Are you alright?" Is questioned softly, a bit of worry clearly caught in her voice. She's under plenty stress lately, so honestly everything has her on a bit of edge with everyone else maybe he is just laughing.
"Don't crazy people always need looking after?" Ila'den inquires, and despite the jab, there's definitely good-natured humor softening the edge of his words. "Anyway, half the time I'm too drunk to be lucid, but I am /flattered/ that you think I am capable of looking after myself." And there goes the bronzer, backing away with a smile - a /definite/ sign that he was laughing - as smooths a hand down her hair to the back of her neck, fingers settling to give a gentle squeeze. "I don't think /my/ wellbeing is in question here, Sunny," comes the suddenly somber and altogether gentle tone. Brows furrow together just as he sinks into a crouch. "Are /you/ alright?"
Sundari curiously watches Ila'den and smiles a bit to him once he backs up a few steps. "I do have a spare room you can sleep in… Of course your have to share a bed with Darryl, unless you'd rather sleep on the couch." THERE is another bed in the weyr, WHICH she would offer but sorry she is pregnant and either A. cuddle, or B. spread out so she isn't about to share it with two bronzer's. She glowers a bit as her hair is smoothed out and she gives her head a slight shake for her hair to move about a bit. "I'm alright, other then being tired, and pregnant at the moment." There is a slight pause as her gaze rests on his. "I'm worried about D'nyl and the kids, and the Weyrling's…" A soft breath escapes her and she reaches up to give the man a faint pat to his cheek. "I'll be fine, really. Do you want to come to dinner?" Totally her changing subjects.
Alas for quiet chats and dinner invitiations; weyrlings have been invoked, and thus at least one must descend upon Sunny's person. It's like a law of physics or something. At least, this one doesn't come their way with the intent for interruption - instead, there is a distant childish squeal, a sharp bark of laughter, and then a pair of youngsters that come pelting around the corner, chased by none other than R'hyn. "G'back here, y'little scamps," the bronzeling huffs, though the growl in his voice is mostly for show - long legs could easily outpace the kids, but he doesn't seem to be trying. Not until quick blue-grey eyes land upon Ila'den and Sunny, anyways. Only then does a playful growly face flicker into a real expression, eyes scrunching up as he snatches up the backs of both of the kidlets' shirts, stopping their momentum enough that he can scoop one and then the other up into his arms. "And then the big bronze dragon gobbled you up," he says with a series of chompy noises that earn him childish, painless slaps to the face. "Dwagons don' eat peeble!," comes a protest from the boy. "They do when little kids run from their momma," R'hyn argues back as he sets them both down, giving small backs a push towards the woman slowly headed their way. "Now go on, and be good." And off they streak, but at least it's towards their mother this time, the woman offering R'hyn a wave that he returns before blue-greys flicker back towards his Weyrlingmaster and Ila'den. Or. More specifically, Ila'den's choice in headwear. "The jokes I could make…," the former bartender sighs, the longsuffering noise one makes when they've decided to be NICE despite the urge to sass. "Am I interrupting something?" Because if not, he intends to linger, at least for a moment.
Sundari's initial response is low, husky laughter before a teasing, "Who is going to keep me warm, Sunny?" Ila'den's looking deviant when he catches the pregnant woman by her knees and pulls her down (with VERY CAREFUL momentum) to sit beside him. "I don't want to spend the night if I'm not /spending the night/." Brows go up in a 'If you know what I mean' kind of way, and then he's laughing, giving Sunny a squeeze before he settles her between those too-long legs. HE DOESN'T MEAN IT. It's evident when he finally sighs and gives her a shake of his head. "I'd rather stay out on the ledge, if it's all the same to you, and don't worry about the weyrlings. They are doing good, /you/ are doing good." The last is said with conviction, conviction that ends on more laughter when R'hyn appears on the scene chasing children, and talking about children-eating-dragons before sending them back to their mother. It's the weyrling's /teasing/ that seems to spark an onslaught of mischievousness, starting with: "No." And then he's getting slowly to his feet, leaving Sunny on the blanket, as he informs the bronzeling, "It's /quite/ a good view." Is he getting closer to R'hyn? Yes. Closer, and closer, and /closer/, until he's /much too close/. "Take a peek." And yes, he /is/ pulling the basket /over/ Ryn's head while it stays seated on his one. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three - Ila'den emerges with a devious, "Well? What do you think?" But R'hyn is left with the basket, as the bronzerider's ensuing, husky laughter carries him right back to Sunny. SIT, leaaaan. "Sundari, why didn't you tell me I looked ridiculous?"
Sundari just smirks a bit while eyeing Ila'den playful like a few moments and lets a finger lightly tap against his chin a moment. "I'd be more then happy to keep you warm." Her tone is clearly teasing. "Though you know I come with a set." Meaning D'nyl of course. A sligh squeak escapes her as she is hauled downwards and is laughing softly as she is sitting once more pon the blanket and a soft sigh escapes her as she sends a glane over to Ila'den. "Yeah? There all good… The Weyrlings." She still worries over them. IT IS WHAT SHE DOES! Speaking of them she glances up a the laughing and smiles at the pair of kids and one R'hyn chasin them, which makes her chuckle softly. As for the rest, well she glances to Ila'den and then back to R'hyn looking very innocent there, isn't she always? "I dono, I thought you looked cute with it Ila." This said with a grin. "Your fine R'hyn, how are you?" As for Ila she'll give him a elbowing. "Be nice to him, or else." Or else what? She'll make him eat more bitter root leaves.
R'hyn almost gets to relax when he isn't immediately chased off - almost! His posture shifts towards the lazy, one hip going contraposto, smile quirking up at one side for the bluerider being pulled to the blanket, but then Ila'den is standing and moving his way, and though amusement never leaves Ryn's gaze, his shoulders definitely stiffen when it becomes clear the bronzerider isn't going to stop. Bracing for collision? Maybe, but it never comes - instead, the basket gets plopped over his head and slowly, slowly, stiff posture shifts back into something easy. Whatever transpires beneath the basket, it ends with R'hyn thumbing it up enough that he can see out from under it when Ila'den moves away, tone totally blythe when he says, "This is a very nice basket. I stand corrected." He likes it so much he'll keep it for a minute, though it gets pushed back to rest against his forehead so he can see when he shoots a grin over at Sundari. Ila'den is always cute. Welcome to the crusade to spread Cute Ila Awareness! "I'm alright. Tired. Xermiltoth was loud and thoughtful today, even for him, but he finally conked out. You?" And oh, OH, but he smirks for that elbowed comment, a bright sparkle entering his eyes as he flicks a look from the blueie to the bronzer and back. "Yeah, Ila'den. Be nice to me." Sparkle!, and a pat of his hands in the air, to forestall any reaction from the older man. Totally joking! "Don't worry, Sunny. We kissed and made up." … Also joking? It's hard to tell. Who knew R'hyn had a poker face?
http://static.tumblr.com/8wjj8is/mRtlqurg2/15_minutes_fame_panda_gif.gif "As long as D'nyl doesn't mind being on the bottom again." Ila'den went there, just FULL STEAM AHEAD, right into the DANGERZOOOOONE. He's laughing, clearly (the only one) appreciative of his inner comedian, and then giving the bluerider a roll of eyes and a sigh. "Sundari, if you call me /cute/ again, I will show you exactly why I'm /not/ cute." There's a playful growl in his words, despite the fact that his teasing comes up short when Sunny warns him and /R'hyn/ responds. Oh, how the man goes from playful, to deviant, to downright /wicked/ in seconds flat, looking as if R'hyn has just told the /best joke/ in the whole entire world. "Aye, little bird. He has quite the silver tongue." Every word is husky, wrapped up in the thickness of a burr that seems to only make the otherwise innocent compliment titillating. Grey eyes shift to the ground, where they remain for a moment, before a tick in Ila'den's jaw indicates thinly veiled amusement, just as grey eyes fixate back on Sundari. "And crazy people don't have to be nice."
Sundari shakes her head slightly and just eyes Ila'den a bit. "Oh… I am so not going there right now." She does not answer for D'nyl thank you! Especially on THAT matter! A glance is sent to R'hyn and then she looks back to Ila'den and she ohs a bit, at the threat. "What you gona do… Make eyes at me or somethin'?" She questions while making a wiggling finger movement at Ila. "You are cute… Sorry…" So the bluerider may have a thing for bronzer's? Look at her weyrmate, enough said! She also can't help herself and is sending a grin over to R'hyn as she hear's Ila'den talk about said other's tongue. "Does he now? Maybe I'll find out sometime." PERHAPS she is joking! Though a wink is totally send to R'hyn. "I am glad things are going well for you and your bronze, who other then his thoughts… is doing splendedly well." She goes about waving a hand a bit and actually just settles back upon Ila'den blanket there, resting on her side and using her arm as a pillow. "Don't have to be nice, just a bit civil. I like my weyrling's in one piece is all. But as you two have kissed and made up I suppose it doesn't matter no more. Just play nice now then." As for Sunny she is going to grab a bit of a nap it seems. "No dragging me off if you leave Ila, just wake me up so I can get what I came for." Is murmured before she does just seems to doze off for a nap.
Ah. Dammit. And R'hyn had been doing so well, too, pretending not to hear CERTAIN CONVERSATIONS that were going on, but that he can't miss. Cita would be proud of the level of eyetwitch the weyrling manages. Truly. He's not a prude, our R'hyn, but it might be a little difficult at the moment for him to separate Sundari and D'nyl the Authority Figures from Sunny and D, the human beings who have clearly banged with Ila. Down comes his basket to hide quiet words muttered in a 'why me' tone of voice, the man needing a minute to himself before his basket lifts. Okay. We're back, with an impish smile as Sunny stands up for herself, holding her own on the Cute Ila front. You go, gurl! "I mean, she's not wrong," R'hyn adds because the weyr just doesn't need tables today. Ila can go ahead and flip them. It's lucky he says the words fast, though, because while he faces Ila'den's comment about his silver tongue with a passive, albeing promising curl of his lips, Sundari's intimation that maybe she'll find out sometime has him blushing furiously. Again. Authority figure. "Thanks," he mutters for her comments about Xermiltoth, recovering beautifully with a laugh. "I wish I could say he'll learn, but it's been months already. I'm starting to lose hope." There is a streak of laughter for her insistance that they play nice, but by then he's faded back into his relaxed posture, chin dipping in an agreeable nod. "We'll do our best. I'm sure it will be difficult, but we'll manage." A wink for her, and a glance at Ila'den, brow lifting in interest for his take on the matter, even as he utters a quiet, "Sleep well, Sunny."
HEY. IT WAS A FLIGHT, OKAY. When Sundari calls him cute again, Ila'den just DOESN'T RESPOND. STOIC ILA, OF THE NOT CUTE. PROBABLY HE IS MENTALLY FLIPPING ALL OF HMW'S TABLES. GOOD JOB GUYS, NOBODY NEEDED TO WORK ON THOSE ANYWAY. And there's Sundari flirting with R'hyn, and Ila'den's ill-concealed laughter, and it winds up with Sundari curling up to sleep and Ila'den keeping watch with a certain bronzeling. A bronzeling who is getting /quite the look/; it's the kind of look wolves fix on red riding hoods, or more appropriately their grandmothers, right before they devour them. "Dangerous game you're playing, weyrling," is mouthed, deliberately slow. If there's any FRIENDSHIP to be shared between the men, it's interrupted before Ila'den can even /start/ gaining his feet by a woman who looks an /interesting/ mix, though still decidedly like Ila'den. She's right on par with R'hyn, age wise, and the woman fixes the weyrling with a /look/ as she skirts passed him. It's not a /nice/ look, either; in fact, it's decidedly nasty. Ila'den's brows raise for the outright hostility, and then the woman's hands are finding her hips even as she eyeballs Sunny and keeps her voice /even/. "Daddy, /Faranth help me/, you told Mama you were going to meet up with her today and you are /avoiding her/. /Again/." Ila'den's eyes narrow seconds before the older man goes seemingly offline, and then he's getting to his feet. "Was that today?" An air of feigned innocence, greeted by an increasingly annoyed, "/Yes it was/." The bronzer's next words are a growl of, "I'm not her fucking weyrmate, Risali. I don't have to jump just because she asked." And Risa adopts a glower that's right on-par with her Dad. "No, you don't, but that doesn't mean you get to /lie/ to her, either." And then she's turning on her heel, eyes on R'hyn again with a once-over that's a far cry from appreciative. STORM. Calloused fingers run through Ila'den's hair, and then he's looking at R'hyn. The smile he settles on is hardly a smile at all. "Guess you're safe tonight," comes the weak tease, and then, despite Sundari's telling him /not/ to, Ila's picking the bluerider up. Ila'den's only pause is on his way out, when that basket goes RIGHT BACK OVER HIS HEAD for several seconds, and then comes away on /his/, instead of R'hyn's. "Careful on your way back." A pause, and then a /real/ smile. "And the barracks are /that/ way, R'hyn." VAMOOSH.
The only exception being that neither Grandma nor Red were quite such willing prey. R'hyn's teeth bare in a grin for slow, deliberate words, shoulders rolling in a careless shrug. "Raise the stakes, bronzerider. Maybe I'll fold." Or maybe not, but they'll never know, not with Risali strutting onto the scene, nasty glance his way earning a brow-raised look from the weyrling as well. Blue-grey eyes observe family dynamics with mild interest, entirely too close to the situation to be able to pretend he's not listening, and so he doesn't bother. Careful neutrality persists right on through the woman's exit, though, gaze tracking her stormed progress as though making sure she's gone before eyes cross and his tongue flashes. "Your daughter is very charming," he says, tone flat, though his expression goes sympathetic for the bronzerider's attempt at a smile. "Pity, that," he teases right back, fighting back the urge to laugh when the rider betrays Sunny's request and picks her up anyways. He doesn't expect it, but is no less pleased when the basket is readjusted, hands lifting up SURELY TO PUNCH ILA IN THE FACE UNDER THERE YES before the basket is reappropriated. Blue-greys glitter warmly, chin dipping in a couple nods as he says, "And you be careful too. Sounds like you have plenty of attitude coming your way." And then he's being pointed in direction of the barracks and oh rude. Whatever he was enjoying of that real smile falls of his face in a mock glare as the man vamooshes, leaving R'hyn to call insults ('you'd better walk away!' and 'I'm enjoying your view') after his retreating form before he huffs a sigh and goes to seek the couple hours of peace he'd come here intending to get in the first place.

Each year, the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship gathers CSR leaders from around the world for two and a half days of learning, sharing, and growing. This year, the Conference is hosted by Travelers, a company who has, for more than 160 years, helped individuals and organizations foster resilience, invest in responsibility, and deliver results.
Over the course of this event, top leaders from around the world will join industry experts in Los Angeles to share how they are investing today in what will make them stronger later. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of how they can develop strong corporate social responsibility programs that ensure a sustainable and prosperous future while delivering strong returns now.
Here are just a few things we're excited about exploring in Los Angeles:
Insights from CSR leaders
Today, Los Angeles will become the home base of some of the CSR field's greatest thinkers and achievers. During seven illuminating general sessions, attendees will hear how these leaders develop strategic CSR strategies to deliver value to their companies and communities. Speakers include but aren't limited to:
Numerous networking opportunities
Strong networks offer corporate responsibility professionals the flexibility and support to maintain resilience in their professional journeys—and in their programs. To help attendees develop and strengthen these networks, we've built ample time into the Conference for sharing and collaboration. From summits and moderated breakfasts to receptions and coffee breaks, we encourage our attendees to connect and learn from one another. Below are just a few activities available during the event:
On-site Volunteer Project
On Monday, attendees will have the opportunity to act as honorary "Disney VoluntEARs" by joining The Walt Disney Company's team of heroes to help assemble comfort kits for local children's hospitals. Participants will network with their colleagues while packing kits with coloring books, activity books, crayons, playing cards, a Mickey Mouse plush, a Mickey Mouse figurine, and custom Marvel comic books. By the end of the Conference, 750 kits will be donated to benefit area children.
Corporate "Fitizens" Sunrise Yoga
On Monday and Tuesday mornings, attendees will have the option of opening the day with a refreshing sunrise yoga session. Yoga mats will provided for use, but if you want to participate in this limited-space event, preregistration is required.
A session for every issue
Corporate citizenship practitioners work to advance sustainable progress by using the core competencies of their particular companies to address their particular ESG impacts. There is no one-size-fits-all formula to execute CSR effectively, which is why we offer more than 25 different breakout sessions throughout the event—each focused on a particular aspect of corporate social responsibility. From workshops, to panel discussions, to in-depth case studies, our breakout sessions are all moderated by leading CSR experts and filled with some of the most innovative, dedicated practitioners in the field today. Attendees should reference the Conference App, which has been generously provided by Pitney Bowes, for a full list of sessions, as well as information about breakout tracks, below are just a few we're excited about:
Leveraging your greatest asset: Your employees
Companies today are being asked to address an array of social and environmental issues in their local communities and around the globe. Whether it be improving science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education or committing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leading companies have learned that success is dependent on engaging their greatest assets—their employees. In this session, hear how companies are reaching and engaging employees in their corporate citizenship efforts.
A new frontier: How investors are using your reports
"A company's ability to manage environmental, social, and governance matters demonstrates the leadership and good governance that is so essential to sustainable growth, which is why we are increasingly integrating these issues into our investment process." These words by Larry Fink of BlackRock, the world's largest institutional investor, help underscore the value of the work done by those in corporate social responsibility and the importance of reporting on it publicly. In this session, attendees will hear from sustainability reporting leaders about the business case for reporting as well as how to navigate the many reporting standards and frameworks.
Disaster preparedness and relief: Effective strategies
Recently, natural disasters and humanitarian crises have devastated communities around the world. When these disasters strike, businesses have emerged as leaders in preparedness, relief, and recovery efforts. In this session, learn how your peers have developed short and long-term strategies that prepare them to help communities in need.
We'll be blogging throughout the 2018 International Corporate Citizenship Conference to give you daily recaps and deep dives into the event's unique content. Subscribe to the Corporate Citizenship Perspectives blog to follow along and recap the event:

Guilds are formed to make grouping and raiding easier and more rewarding, as well as to form a social atmosphere in which to enjoy the game. Banking guilds are also used by many individual players as a way to increase the rather limited bank storage space available in the game.

Casual Emergency Leave
Emergency Leave Rules and Procedures
Clarification of the Term "Emergency Leave"
According to AUC policies, emergency leave denotes leave that is granted for unexpected circumstances, which employees cannot control or foretell and which forces them to absent themselves from work without prior permission.
AUC Entitlement
Employees may use up to seven days emergency leave in each fiscal year according to the following conditions noted below.
- Four of the seven days of emergency leave can be taken provided they are in accordance with the following conditions:
- The leave must be for an unexpected emergency beyond the control and unforeseen by the employee.
- It must not exceed one day at a time.
- It will not be preceded or followed by any other type of leave.
- It is subject to approval by the supervisor at work immediately upon the employee's return.
- The other three days of the emergency leave are free from the above conditions as long as they are not preceded or followed by any other type of leave. This may be used for the death of a family member (parent, spouse or child).
Emergency leave cannot be accumulated or transferred from one year to the other, and is not subject to claim by any employee after the end of any fiscal year. Casual leave entitlement is proportionate to the period of employment.

Because there was a rise of visitors to the mausoleum compared to normal days, the management board had coordinated with forces in the Ba Dinh Historical-Cultural Relic Complex, and relevant agencies in Hanoi to provide good services to domestic and foreign visitors.
In May Day, the management board served drinking water and bread gratis to all visitors.
Director of historical monuments Kim Lien in the central province of Nghe An Nguyen Bao Tuan yesterday said thousands of people arrived in the monument in the national holidays. On April 28, the monument welcomed 800 – 1,000 visitors averagely. According to an estimation, over 50,000 people paid visits to Uncle Ho's fatherland in Sen (Lotus ) village, and the tomb of Uncle Ho's mother, Hoang Thi Loan, in Dong Tranh mountain.
Statistically, in the first quarter of 2018, the monument welcomed 6,734 delegations comprising of 176,657 visitors; of whom, 124 delegations came from 27 nations in the world. Additionally, 103 delegations from the central authorities and enamoring provinces thurified at the monument, said the management board.
Similarly, head of the management board of the Dong Loc T-junction historical relic site in the central province of Ha Tinh -Tran Dinh Uoc said during the three-day national holidays , there was a rise of visitors to the monument with estimated number of 3,000 – 5,000 people a day.
Monument employees were assigned to work with local relevant agencies to well serve thurifiers as well as keep environment hygiene and prevent fire and explosion.
Elsewhere in the country, tombs of Vietnam's first Party Chief Tran Phu in district Duc Tho; Party Chief Ha Huy Tap in district Cam Xuyen; temple of the late General Secretary Le Duan at Ke Go Lake in district Cam Xuyen; and memorial site of Vietnam's great poet and cultural celebrity Nguyen Du in district Nghi Xuan also attracted thousands of local and international visitors.
The management board of historic site Con Dao in the southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau yesterday said that it served more than 7,000 visitors including 745 international tourists, up 80 percent compared to same period last year. Travelers paid also visits to historic sites, Hang Duong cemetery, islets.
City dwellers May 1 flocked to amusement parks more than normal days. It is estimated that thousands of people found ways to hide scorching heat in Dam Sen park, Sai Gon zoo, Suoi Tien Tourist Park and tourist sites in Can Gio District.
Also, crowd of people gathered in commercial centers and supermarkets namely Co.opMart, BigC, Emart, and Lotte Mart. Though there was no estimation of revenue of these holidays, purchase power increased by 150 - 200 percent compared to normal days. People mostly bought fruits, ready-made food and beverage.
Tourist agents said that there was an escalation of holiday-makers to abroad countries thanks to interesting promotion programs. BenThanh Tourist said that the number of travelers was triple while TST Tourist said Vietnamese holiday-makers taking foreign tours were up 45 percent.
Agents said that the increase of flight fare from April 1 badly affected the competition of domestic tours. In the national holidays, cost of HCMC – Thailand, HCMC- Singapore, and HCMC- Malaysia tours fluctuated VND7 million - VND10 a tour, which is cheaper than domestic tours.
As per the General Statistic Office of Vietnam, in the first four months of the year, some 5.54 million foreign visitors arrived in Vietnam, a year-on-year increase of 29.5 percent.
In April alone, more than 1.34 million international tourists traveled to Vietnam, a decrease of 0.1 percent compared to March; however, the number of visitors in April increased by 25.2 percent against last year because there were many activities to attract visitors in April such as the International Tourist Fair in Hanoi, Tourist Festival in HCMC.
In the first four months, Asian holiday-makers coming to Vietnam saw a year-on-year surge of 36 percent; for instance, Chinese travelers went up 39.7 percent; South Korean tourist increased 67.3 percent; Japanese, Malaysian and Thailand visitors with an increase of 7 percent, 16.3 percent and 9.2 percent respectively.

I heard of Talia Castellano (also known as Talia Joy) a few months ago. Who is she, you ask?
Talia Castellano, the miniature makeup maven with her own YouTube channel, clothing line and honorary CoverGirl ad, has lost her six-year battle with cancer. She was 13.
Talia was a child who was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma on February 14, 2007 (age 7). She was cancer free for 13 months but relapsed in Sept. 2008. Again she was cancer free for almost 2 years, but sadly relapsed a second time on August 13, 2010 and then again for a third time on April 8, 2011. It was later diagnosed that her cancer had spread to her bones and she had developed pre-leukemia in the second half of 2012.
Despite multiple surgeries, hospital stays, lab tests, chemo treatments and experimental treatments, she continued living her life to the fullest. She started her beauty channel on YouTube, TaliaJoy18, saying that "Make-up is my wig", and earned more than 750,000 followers with over 40 million views. She captivated the web with her makeup tutorials, where she appeared bald, and went through how to apply different styles of eye shadow and showed off finds from shopping expeditions. "I saw other girls making makeup videos on YouTube and thought it would be fun," Castellano told TODAY.com. "I put one up and ever since then it gotten more and more popular. It's cool that people are now seeing that fighting cancer is not just about chemo, and that there are different things that help us through the journey. For me that was makeup."
With her funny, candid personality and determination in the face of a grim cancer diagnosis, her vlogs quickly became about much more than just makeup. "I've always been a really bubbly girl, and my mom always tells me to think about the positive," she told PEOPLE in 2012. "Even though cancer is a negative, horrible thing, there are positives. For people to see that there are kids that get cancer… it's just a true fact. Me putting a face on it makes a difference". "How do you stay so positive?" Ellen DeGeneres asked Talia, to which she replied, "When people ask me that, I'm just, 'What do you want me to do? Be depressed?" said Talia, whose motto was that of Finding Nemo's Dory, voiced by DeGeneres in the film: "Just keep swimming."
Her fame brought her together with likes of Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber. She was also awarded the privilege of becoming the only honorary CoverGirl, for inspiring hundreds of thousands of people with her YouTube makeup tutorials.
She was blessed with a very supportive and loving family, who stood by her through thick and thin. They respected her decision to not undergo bone marrow transplant; she explained, "…Right now I am leaning to not doing [the treatment] because I don't want to go through that," Castellano said haltingly in the video. "The chances of not surviving are fewer than surviving. If we even find a match, if my body rejects it then I am screwed, I went through all that crap for nothing."
On July 16th 2013, Talia gave in to her disease, and left us all for an eternal, painless existence.
The passing was noted on her official Facebook page:
"It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings at 11:22 a.m. Please lift her beautiful soul, her beautiful light to heaven and please send your love and prayers to her family during this most difficult time. Godspeed, little one, may you be free from pain and suffering, may your soul feel the light and love that you brought to so many of us on this Earth during the short time you were here with us. We will miss you more than you will ever know, baby girl."

Old Resource ID was HGilden
Harold Gilden was a Chicago-based lawyer and labor arbitrator. Born in 1905, Gilden received a B.S. from the University of Illinois and a J.D. from the University of Chicago. He was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1928. He became an arbitrator for the National War Labor Board in 1943 and for the Wage Stabilization Board in 1946. In the post war period, Gilden served as an arbitrator for a wide range of boards, businesses, and unions, including the National Railroad Adjustment Board, Armour & Co., and the Chicago Typographical Union. He was married to Elise Byfield in 1939 and was survived by four children.
The Harold Gilden papers consist almost entirely of dockets and evidence relating to labor disputes which were arbitrated by Mr. Gilden. The majority of these disputes concern the railroad brotherhoods, although some cases relate to the airlines and to manufacturing. Also included in the collection are a number of documents relating to personal injury awards.

I use both traditional and non-traditional printmaking processes. I am interested in scientific methodology and experimentation. I am drawn to trivial and forgotten objects. I am attracted to phenomena that are too absurd to be taken seriously or too ordinary to be noticed. I admire the physicist who spends a great amount of time proving mathematically that one would make exactly the same amount of noise unwrapping a candy bar in a darkened theater whether one does it quickly or slowly.
After receiving an MFA in studio art degree, I built scientific exhibitions for Explora Science Center, a children's science museum in Albuquerque, NM. This work had a great effect on my creative practice and observational habit.
Some recent focuses of my work are to transform insignificant and trivial objects into something visually striking and to invoke a renewed curiosity in the viewer, and thus providing a perpetual amusement in their life.

Miller Energy Resources faces a potentially painful class action lawsuit, but the East Tennessee oil and gas company is doing the best it can to generate positive headlines.
The exploration and production company said Wednesday that it shipped 46,882 barrels of oil in August, up 44 percent from the monthly average for the quarter ended July 31.
The August shipments are a company record, said David Hall, CEO of Miller's Alaskan subsidiary, Cook Inlet Energy.
Also this week, the company announced another company milestone — Drilling Rig-35 was on its way to Alaska. Miller said it recently made the final payment of $5.77 million on the $19.5 million rig by drawing on a line of credit.
"The installation of a rig on our Osprey platform marks a new chapter for Miller in Alaska," Miller CEO Scott Boruff said in a news release. "We will now be able to target previously producing wells, drill new wells and perform routine and incidental maintenance on the wells that are already producing."
Meanwhile, law firms pushing a securities fraud class action lawsuit against Miller have issued a slew of news releases in recent days reminding potential clients of the approaching deadline for seeking lead plaintiff status.

Burst Time, Waiting Time and Information about Nice Value
What is BURST TIME and WAITING TIME?
Please also tell me that What is NICE VALUE?
Dear friends I am waiting.
Thanking all of you.
What is BURST TIME and WAITING TIME?
Please also tell me that What is NICE VALUE?
Dear friends I am waiting.
Thanking all of you.
Hello B. Lie how are you. M.Smith is here for your help so don't take tension just follow my points then you will picked it. Ok. Burst time is the time taken by the CPU to run a process. Waiting time is the time for which a process waits to acquire the CPU. For example when time quantum expires or when a process is preempted, the process is taken from the CPU for some time and then given back to the CPU. This time for which a process remains away from the CPU due to some reason (as stated above) is the waiting time of that process. Hope you will be understand .
Now the second part of you question is that the Nice value is a property of a process that helps in determining its priority in the system. Consult the following link to know more about the nice value: https://linux.die.net/man/3/nice so check this link.
Hi B.Lie,
Burst time is estimated time between I/O required of which CPU can wait the process.
Before the process begins, the burst time cannot be predicted precisely i.e.CPU uses the amount of time that process in a single time. CPU could be used several times to complete the job.
CPU time or process time or CPU usage is the amount of time that CPU was used to process a program's instructions rather than waiting for output/input (I/O) operations. CPU time is always Assessed by the ratio of capacity of CPU or number of clock ticks to compare the CPU workload to a program.
Nice value is the value that controls a process's priority and nice () system call is provided. The equation is as follows.
(nice value) + (base-priority) + {(recent CPU usage)/constant} = Priority
The nice value could be supplied by Administrator only. Nice () system call only apply to running process. Nice value of a process could not be changed by another process.

English author and playwright Alan Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) returns from World War I with a case of shellshock, or what we now call PTSD. His wife, Daphne (Margot Robbie), is just glad to have him home, and to get back to their upper-crusty West End London life of opening nights and balls, but Alan is struggling. The footlights on stage bother him, sudden loud noises bother him, and he wants to write something that will stop people from ever going to war again. So he moves his family, including young son Christopher, whom they call "Billy Moon", to a charming house in the English countryside, where peace and quiet will help him focus. Except the buzzing of bees reminds him of flies on the battlefield.
Of course we know Alan Milne today as A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh. And his son, "Billy Moon", is Christopher Robin, whose childhood games and imagination inspired his father's most famous creation. In fact, the movie makes it look like Alan straight-up ripped off his son's ideas, and also hijacked the character inspirations from the funny voices Daphne would do while playing with Billy Moon and his toys, including a stuffed bear, Edward. He does, at least, come up with Eeyore on his own. If not true to life, at least the connection between Eeyore's down-in-the-dumps perma-state echoes in Alan's ongoing struggle with PTSD.
This being the 1920s and the Milnes being upper-crusty sorts, the actual rearing of Billy Moon is largely left to his nanny, Olive (Kelly Macdonald), whom Billy Moon calls "Nou". She is a preternaturally tolerant person, suffering Billy Moon's selfish tantrums and his parents' casual disregard with equanimity—the only time she speaks out is when the fame of Winnie the Pooh threatens to completely ruin Billy Moon's childhood (which it did anyway). And for his part, Billy Moon is played by Will Tilston, a child so adorable and with dimples so deep they form a vortex of cuteness from which no light can escape.
Goodbye Christopher Robin is designed to be a tear-jerker, and it will probably work on most people. Directed by Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) and lensed by Ben Smithard (Belle), the film is soaked in golden country light—all of which is consumed by Will Tilston's dimples—and the Ashdown Forest, inspiration for Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood, is photographed with loving fanaticism. It's a good looking film with a good looking cast and emotional beats that gloss over the long estrangement between Christopher Milne and his parents. The film touches on the bullying he received at school, and even in the Army during World War II, but the resolution is quick to reassure us that the Milnes resolved all their problems. The epigraph even notes that Christopher was "happily married"…to his first cousin which further estranged him from his parents, as his mother and uncle didn't speak.
It's curious what Goodbye picks and chooses to deal with. Alan's post-war struggles, Billy Moon's growing resentment of Winnie the Pooh, and a little bit the fallout of the runaway success of Pooh, but then the film turns around as reassures us it's all fine. That's fine, that's the story the filmmakers want to tell, about fathers and sons and the devotion of parents and forgiveness of children. But in telling that story, they do a damning injustice to Daphne Milne, who comes off as cold, at best. Margot Robbie is terrific, and her natural charm makes Daphne tolerable, but though the film introduced some motivation for Daphne, it does not follow through on examining her inner life the way Alan's is examined. It just seems unfair, the way Alan gets to be a hero and reconcile with his son, but Daphne is just kind of forgotten, a flighty and irresponsible mother. Alan's bad habits and negative traits are framed by his circumstances and worked out over the course of the film, but Daphne gets no such treatment.
But if you just want to watch a cute film with British award season polish, then Goodbye Christopher Robin will work for you. It will probably work best for parents, and people susceptible to the cuteness rays emitted by Will Tilston's Bambi eyes. It is not a good portrait of A.A. Milne as a real person, but is an excellent rendering of a dream father who forgoes his own success to protect his son (really, Milne quit writing Pooh because he resented how it eclipsed his other work). And it's definitely not a good portrait of Daphne Milne, but it is a great cinematic Selfish Mother trope. Domhnall Gleeson and Margot Robbie make it entirely watchable, but the lack of complicated emotions means it's also completely forgettable.

My New Backup & Dress-up Gun – the 911 .380
When I heard that Springfield Armory® was building a .380 caliber pistol, my first thoughts were, "This will be interesting – And I can't wait to shoot it!". But as I started thinking more about it, I had a lot of questions:
- Would it be designed with a polymer frame or if it would be made of a different material, like steel or aluminum?
- How obnoxious would the recoil be?
- And would it be hard to hold onto?
My questions were quickly answered, as I was called soon thereafter to do a photo / video shoot with the .380. Did I ever become familiar with the pistol — and fast!
I can say with confidence and as the person who had originally shot the most rounds out of the gun, Springfield's first ever .380 caliber firearm — the 911 — is a very impressive little gun. I really like the final design and actually enjoyed shooting it.
And to answer my initial questions:
- The frame is made out of … aluminum!
- The recoil is amazingly super light.
- And the G10 thin-line grips make the gun easy to hold on to and maintain control.
Now, I'm not gonna get into the caliber debate (which sometimes seems like the caliber war), but I will note that .380 pistols have had a resurgence over the last 5 to 10 years. I personally believe that it's a result of more states approving and allowing concealed carry.
Having owned a few pistols chambered in .380 over the decades, I never really fell in love with any of them. My first venture into a .380 was in the late 1980s, and it was a much larger steel-framed gun. Everything was larger in the 80s, right? So, this .380 was a dream to shoot, but again, it was overly heavy for its size, so I didn't like to carry it.
The .380 caliber pistols I have in my arsenal / collection have only found time as my daily carry when I was wearing a suit and tie, very light clothing, shorts, or was carrying a bag or backpack.
So, with that being said, I bet I haven't shot more than 50 rounds of .380 ammunition out of my guns, total. Simply because I didn't have much use for the size of gun in that caliber.
Let's talk about the gun itself. The 911 .380 pistol from Springfield kind of blends the XD-S® series of pistols with a 1911 pistol. It is a single-action, semi-automatic with frame-mounted thumb safeties.
When I first picked up the 911, I could not believe how light and small it was. I immediately shoved the gun in my front pants pocket and it disappeared. I barely noticed that it was in there.
Ergonomically speaking, the pistol is excellent. I was able to shoot it using my regular grip and it was extremely comfortable. After firing just a few rounds through the pistol, I could not believe how light the recoil was – unlike any other compact .380 I've ever shot! Upon shooting literally hundreds of rounds, I felt that the smooth trigger was better than most 1911s. And I've dry fired A LOT of 1911 triggers over the years.
The safeties moved on and off easily enough for anyone to be able to manipulate them, even without much practice, but not so easy that they would inadvertently move off.
I also immediately noticed that the sights had a certain glow to them. Usually when looking at tritium night sights during the daytime, I don't see any illumination, but the sights on the 911 were very bright and easy to see, even with my aging eyes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy. Now, I'm a pretty fair shot, but I know that many tiny guns suffer when it comes to grouping and accuracy. When I shot the 911 at a distance of 15 yards initially, I was not expecting great results. However, when I saw that I was putting one round on top of the other, I was actually shocked!
Also impressive was the gun's functionality and reliability. By the end of the video session, I had shot about 500 rounds. I shot one specific gun for 2 straight hours and did not have one malfunction of any kind.
After spending some time with the 911 from Springfield Armory®, I've grown to really like the pistol. Although I've shot a lot of small, compact pistols over my career, I have been hesitant to recommend any of them. Most have a snappy recoil, which makes the average person struggle to shoot them, let alone shoot them accurately. This is so not the case with the 911.
And with the improvements to much of the personal defense ammunition, a .380 pistol is now a viable option for self defense and EDC.
Now, I will be the first to admit that the .380 caliber pistol is not my first choice as my only self-defense firearm, but I often carry it as a second defensive option. #BackupGun
And for the times I'm not able to carry a full-size pistol (I do occasionally take my lovely bride on a date), a small, compact .380 really fits the bill for me. #DressUpGun
Bottom line – The 911's ergonomics, reliability, trigger pull and accuracy have sold me on having a .380 caliber pistol as a suitable, ultra-concealable, self-defense firearm.

NEW YORK — David Weiner knew it was time to see a doctor after feeling under the weather for almost a week.
"I had a sore throat for the past few days and wanted to get checked out, and a rash on my hands and face."
So he walked into Northwell Health-Gohealth Urgent Care in New York.
"You are seen quickly and get good service and much easier than going to my primary care doctor."

Seasonal foods to eat this fall
For each of Korea's four distinct seasons, a different set of foods takes center stage in Korea's culinary scene. Autumn marks the season of three of the nation's most popular kinds of seafood: blue crabs, jumbo shrimp (prawns), and gizzard shad. Plump blue crabs are cooked in savory soup or steamed, while gizzard shads are enjoyed either raw as sashimi or grilled. Succulent and fleshy prawns are also great eaten raw or grilled, and the most common method for eating prawns in Korea is to peel them and dip them in a vinegar and red chili-pepper sauce.
On land, the best fall seasonal foods include flavorful and nutritious pine mushrooms and sweet persimmon. Pine mushrooms come in stewed, grilled or steamed dishes. They are great with beef or abalone. Persimmons are particularly sweet in the fall and are widely enjoyed as a dessert item. The dried version, called gotgam, is dried under the autumn sun and in the wind; it has a different texture from the fresh, undried version.
Fall foods are best in terms of taste and nutritional value when they are eaten in season. Enjoy some of these nutritious fall foods as the cooler weather sets in.
Blue crab
Delicious, nutritious, and reasonably priced
Blue crabs are in season during spring and autumn. The abundant, creamy roe of the pre-spawning female crabs are best enjoyed in the spring, while the flaky, plump meat of the male crabs is a delicacy best enjoyed in autumn. Crabs are prepared in a variety of ways and can be made into spicy crab soup with vegetables and other seafood, or it can also be steamed, shelled, and eaten plain. Another delicacy is gejang, or raw crab marinated in soy sauce or red chili-pepper paste sauce. Prepared in any form, freshly-caught crabs are a true seafood lover's delight.
Not only are blue crabs tasty, but they are also packed with nutrients. The crab's shell contains calcium and chitin and the meat has an abundance of essential amino acids and vitamins. In Korea, blue crabs are known to be effective in the prevention of geriatric diseases and aid in alcohol detoxification.
Jumbo Prawns
A feast for the eyes & palate
Jumbo prawns are a mouthwatering fall specialty even to those who do not generally eat seafood. Those caught at sea are not easy to find outside local fishing areas, as these short-tempered crustaceans die quickly after they're caught. Compared to farmed prawns, jumbo prawns caught at sea have longer antennas, thicker shells, and chewier meat.
You can eat them boiled, steamed, or fried, but for a fuller flavor, heat a large pot, sprinkle it with coarse sea salt, and cook the live prawns for about 10 minutes until they turn crimson. Prawns are savory therefore can be eaten as is without any sauce. If you prefer more seasoning, try dipping the prawns in a mixture of red chili-pepper paste and vinegar.
Gizzard Shad
Soft flesh and bold flavors
In the fall, gizzard shads store up plenty of nutrients for the long, cold winter; meaning they are packed with healthy oils and plenty of flavor. The best months to eat these delicious fish are between late September and mid November. Larger gizzard shads are higher in fat, so make sure to pick a fish over 15cm to enjoy the fish's true taste.
There are many ways to cook and eat gizzard shads. Slices of raw gizzard shads taste best when wrapped in lettuce and seasoned with chili and garlic sauce. The spicy taste of a seasoned gizzard shad platter mixed with various vegetables and condiments is also a local favorite. However, the best way to cook gizzard shad is to take a whole fish, salt it lightly, and put it on the grill. There's no need to debone it, so it is ready to be eaten as soon as it is done.
Pine mushrooms
Small in size but big in flavor
Pine mushrooms are considered the best among the hundreds of types of edible mushrooms in Korea. They only thrive on live pine trees and are harvested in autumn. Pine mushrooms are referred to as diamonds in the forest for their high nutritional value and efficacy. The mushroom is great for preventing geriatric diseases and protecting the stomach. More than anything, it is known for its cancer prevention qualities.
Pine mushrooms are expensive as they cannot be grown commercially, but must be collected in their natural environment. Despite the high price tag, it is in great demand thanks to its delicate flavor and nutritional value. The mushroom can be sliced and grilled over a light fire, but it is more commonly cooked with other ingredients. For example, it can be cooked with other vegetables in a soup, or it can be added to rice. When it is cooked along foods like abalone or beef, it is fortified with minerals and proteins, turning into a great stamina health food.
A sweet and healthy dessert
Persimmon is a major autumn fruit in Korea. Depending on the level of processing, it is called by different names: hongsi refers to persimmon ripe to a color of yellow-orange or dark red-orange with no astringent taste; gotgam is persimmon peeled and dried under the sun and the wind; and bansi is seedless persimmon. Persimmon is high in vitamins A, B, and C, and minerals. In Korea, a common saying is, "Just stand under a persimmon tree and you are sure to get healthy." The fruit is particularly good for the skin and for getting over a hangover. The fruit is also highly effective for stopping diarrhea-related symptoms, so most advise against consuming persimmons in large quantities to prevent blockage.
Freshly picked persimmon can have an astringent flavor. But over time, it will ripen and become sweet, and its color will transition to a deep orange. This fruit is mostly eaten as is without cooking. Hongsi can be frozen and eaten in shaved form or like ice cream. It is also enjoyed as a jam or in a salad.

Basic Dishwasher Info
Your dishwasher uses water that's about 140 degrees Fahrenheit along with detergent to clean and sanitize your dishes. After spraying your dishes with water and detergent several times, the water is drained along with any leftover food particles and your dishes are dried by an interior heating element.
The amount of noise that comes from running your dishwasher depends how much sound proofing it has. While some dishwashers are whisper quiet, others are much louder. If your dishwasher starts running noisier than usual or makes a clunking, grinding or hissing sounds, you could be one wash cycle away from a breakdown.

So I got these cute little smiley face noise-makers and attatched the quote. I hope it helps the girls remember.
I'm all packed and ready to leave, Cowgirl seems to be doing better and we still don't have a car, but I think they'll be okay without me until Friday!

Mediacorp Host Broadcaster for the DPRK-USA Peace Summit
Mediacorp, host broadcaster for the DPRK-USA Singapore Summit on 12 June 2018, will provide complete broadcast services to support global media in covering the historic event.
Beyond providing broadcasting services, as Singapore's media company with the widest range of media platforms, its news platforms, led by Channel NewsAsia, will provide comprehensive coverage in 4 languages for audiences in Singapore and the region.
Mediacorp will operate the Broadcast Centre within the International Media Centre which is expected to house over 2500 local and foreign journalists covering the event. The Broadcast Centre will provide a complete range of broadcast services and facilities.
These include the live feed distribution and monitoring system, indoor and outdoor live presentation services and media booth space with editing facilities. Over 250 Mediacorp staff are on ground comprising engineering, production services and news personnel, working round the clock to ensure that the quality of broadcast services and facilities is world class.
Mediacorp's regional news channel, Channel NewsAsia, and its vernacular news teams in Channel 8, Vasantham, Suria, digital platforms (channelnewsasia.com and todayonline.com) and radio stations (958FM and 938NOW) have, in the days leading up to the summit, been providing timely coverage. Over 300 journalists including reporters and editors from Mediacorp's newsroom in Singapore and its overseas bureaus will be bringing you round-the-clock coverage of the momentous events as they unfurl.

Bernard running like other UNC greats
CHAPEL HILL, NC — North Carolina's long legacy of ball carriers began in the 1920s with Jack "the Battering Ram" Merritt and extended into the 1990s when at one point UNC had produced more 1,000-yard rushers than any other program in the nation.
The newest entry into the rather impressive fraternity is redshirt sophomore Gio Bernard, whose 262 rushing yards vs. Virginia Tech last Saturday was the fifth-most in a single game in Carolina history.
The depth of terrific talent that has carried the ball among the pines is quite considerable. Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy twice in leading UNC to major bowl games in the late 1940s. Don McCauley once held the NCAA record with 1,720 rushing yards in a single season, set in 1970. Like Justice, he's in the College Football Hall of Fame.
"Famous" Amos Lawrence was the second tailback to ever run for 1,000 or more yards in four consecutive seasons. Heisman Trophy winner and legendary tailback Tony Dorsett of Pittsburgh was the first.
Kelvin Bryant, Ethan Horton, Natrone Means and Leon Johnson are other former Tar Heel tailbacks who blazed past the century mark and built lasting legacies in Chapel Hill. In all, UNC has produced a 1,000-yard runner 25 times, and it's likely Bernard will increase the number to 26 before this season concludes.
Bernard, who is 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds, is a bit like Lawrence, in that he's not real big, but also like Johnson, as he's effective catching the ball out of the backfield. He can explode for long runs like Bryant, burst through the line of scrimmage like Curtis Johnson, shake off would-be tacklers or simply juke them out of their cleats like Derrick Fenner and Lawrence, again, respectively.
But Bernard, who ran for 1,253 yards and scored 13 touchdowns last season, is also unique.
"It's not like I turned the film on and go 'wow,' because it's something I see all the time," UNC coach Larry Fedora said Monday when asked about his star tailback. "We see it all the time, so it is a 'wow' and I guess, for us, it's kind of old hat. That's what he does."
UNC quarterback Bryn Renner is a bit more in awe, and maybe less interested in worrying about inflating the Tampa native's ego.
"Sometimes, it looks like he may not get around the corner and then all of a sudden he's racing toward the end zone," Renner said. "I've never seen anyone who can change speeds so fast like he does… He's just really, really good. He's a great weapon."
Bernard knows he's talented. He understands his innate attributes are important to the Tar Heels. But he also recognizes there are 10 other players on the field, and without the bigs up front, the wide receivers blocking down field, and even Renner, who threw a block during Bernard's 51-yard jaunt against the Hokies, that it takes all 11 players to excel.
But it takes a gifted one to take it 62 yards to the house, as Bernard did on a 4th-and-1 play on the first snap of the second quarter Saturday.
"I love that feeling, knowing it's just grass between me and the end zone," said Bernard, who has six scoring runs of 48 or more yards plus a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown in his brief 17-game career.
Bernard averaged 11.5 yards per carry in the win over Virginia Tech, which is a single-game UNC record. In fact, in one 11-carry stretch in the middle of the contest he averaged nearly 20 yards an attempt.
"He does have power and has great quickness…," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "(He's) shifty, nifty, I think a heck of a back… He's a great running back. When you watch him, it doesn't take long to see he's got some special skills."
And it hasn't taken Bernard long to climb into the nest of other previous great UNC ball carriers. It's an impressive group, and the way Bernard is going, many of them and future Tar Heels may one day be compared to him.

Millie Elder Holmes has reminisced about stealing the cell phone of her famous father Paul Holmes and using it to prank call a bunch of MPs in his contact list.

- Exclusive: Millie Elder-Holmes on drugs, her partner's death and her new life
In an Instagram story video, Millie told her 78,600 followers that she and her brother Reuben once hatched a plan to target deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and Don Brash, amongst others.
"It was so funny," she explained.
"Winston Peters and Don Brash were on that list and when we did this prank call... we called up and we were like, 'Winston, I think you're my dad' or something so stupid."
"We were super young," she added.
"We were like, 'we think my mum met you in Rotorua ages ago, and I think you're my dad'."
According to Millie, who now lives in Greece and has her own lifestyle and wellness website, Winston responded in trademark fashion.
"He was like, 'This is nonsense, f**k off' and hung up the phone."
"I don't know if that's a funny story, but I just remember laughing about that so hard as a kid," she said.
"We thought it was gold."
Before signing off, the 31-year-old social media influencer had a moment of realisation about Winston's current status in Government.
"I just realised he's the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand!" she said.

Finally, in a California Supreme Court ruling, California employers get a break. This ruling clarifies meal and break requirements in in the restaurant industry.
The ruling in the class action lawsuit against Brinker Restaurant Corp. states that they must make meal and break periods available during certain types of shifts and keep records that these times are available but they do not need to ensure that the workers actually take the mandated break.
In this ruling the opinion states , the court declared the law to be precisely what employees and employers have always thought: it is the employee's choice to take a meal break, not something forced on employees by the government.
In an article in Restaurant News by Lisa Jennings on April 12, 2012 she wrote
Steve Hirschfeld, founder and chief executive of the San Francisco-based labor and employment attorney network Employment Law Alliance, agreed, adding, What this ruling says, in essence, is that employers don't have to babysit employees.
As long as they make available meal and rest periods and encourage their usage, they are not liable for claims brought by employees that they did not receive them, Hirschfeld said. Employers are not going to be in a situation where they have to act like ˜big brother and constantly monitor employees.
The ruling allows for prosecution for restaurants who do not provide the opportunity for meals and breaks for their employees.

Good bye to my friend Ivan in Rijeka. A one hour walk to go outside the city. Two drivers who gave me a lift. And again hours to walk.
Then Sandi stopped and invited me to his restaurant. He offered me a hand-made beer. One the best i've tried. Then an other one and then we ate amazing food. A healthy soup with bread, Puree, porc with tomatoe sauce, an other beer. I was full. The food was excellent.
Sandi showed me his recording studio he built with friends. Guitars, amplificators, gears, everything. Then he gave me an other lift to a gas station where i continued my route.
I walked again and a woman gave me a lift. We spoke about the importance for us, humans, to help each other. A nice meeting. She left me in Koper where i walked toward Trieste. I was ready to show my passport but i forgot that it was not necessary. So i just crossed the border like that. By walking.
I met my friend Andrea in Trieste.
Pasta, pesto, parmesan, fish.
The restaurant of my friend Sandi
The decoration was great and the food amazingly delicious!
