She has never made it after that. I have never known what to ask for, if at all it is available in hotels. But that memory and the taste of those pancakes (for lack of a better word) remain with me, vivid and colorful, complete with how it tasted, till date.
17 Apr 2014
O - Orotti and Patthiri
You know one of those memories from your childhood that aren't really special, so to speak, but will always stay with you? Allow me to share one of those.
I was maybe 12? 13? I remember wearing my favorite 'home' skirt and tattered tee that Mum never really liked and standing by the slab in the kitchen as Grandma fired up the gas stove and set the girdle on it.
There is this thing at home, whenever the older ladies of the family are doing housework, it is the duty of the girls in the house to offer to help them. I remember hating this rule growing up for it meant me having to offer to do odd jobs in the kitchen like bring chillies from the fridge, wash the parsley and coriander and peel onions, when I could very well be snuggled up with chocolate fudge and Harry Potter.
Anyway, there I was standing in the hot kitchen with nothing much to do but unable to go back to my room when Grandma started telling me the recipe to make what she was making. She added water to rice flour, put some stuff in it that made the dough smell heavenly (zeera, coconut and salt, basically). The girdle was hot and ready by then, she ladled a bit of oil and started patting down a ball of dough onto it – all the while giving me instructions on how many ways there are to mess it up and how not to. I remember thinking the edges were broken and when I would make them, they would have perfectly rounded edges.
While about twenty of them were being cooked - Grandma kept up a constant chatter about how it was a Malappuramdish and how she had seen her grandma make it on a choolha when she was a kid and all that. Then she proceeded to whip up a liquid out of seemingly innocent coconut milk with crunchy brown onions floating in it and whatnot.
Then she set me down a plate on the kitchen table and had me 'taste' it (this was an advantage of/reward for sticking around in the kitchen, I get to sample everything in large quantities). I have to say, by all the Gods of the realm, I have never had better orotti and patthiri. Or any kind of food for that matter.
She has never made it after that. I have never known what to ask for, if at all it is available in hotels. But that memory and the taste of those pancakes (for lack of a better word) remain with me, vivid and colorful, complete with how it tasted, till date.

A very nice memory beautifully etched. From whatever you have described, I think it is the rice-flour roti (roughly translated into english from tamil :P), yeah I think pancakes are a better word. I know how to make it :D. It's a regular at my place and I learnt it from my mom. Not sure if it will be as good as your grandma's but do come to my place and I know how to make you happy :) :)ReplyDelete
Btw, the edges remain broken for me too howmuchever I try. Perfectly round ones are far from reality ;)
Sigh! Childhood and all its wonderful small yet profound moments.ReplyDelete
The pic looks absolutely droolworthy!
I haaaaaaaaaad this for EASTER!! BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP!!!ReplyDelete
The memories!

James E. Irby, a Princeton University professor, comments on literary development with a familiar sentiment that many of you have expressed.
The word "amanuensis" means a person who is hired to write text that is written by another person. Can you see how Irby suggests even professional authors struggle with feeling unique and original in their writing?
Carl Jung's idea of collective unconscious links us all.
There are many archetypes in literature. The first set of archetypes you are

Who is Carl Jung?
Often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist andpsychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, though many of his works were not published until after his death.
Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, andsynchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, was developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.
Are you intrigued with Carl Jung?
His ideas have extend past literary archetypes, and instead aim to reflect the personality types of all people.
Personality tests have emerged from this thoughts and extended by Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Myers.
They developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which classified people into 16 different types on the basis of four categories:
For example, a person could be Extroverted-Sensing-Feeling-Perceiving (ESFP) or Introverted-iNtuiting-Thinking-Judging (INTJ).

Second time I'm ever having this issue, people are cruel. I sometimes sell social media accounts and 99% of people are genuine. I give refunds for any issues but man do I hate False unauthorized purchase claims. Sold a social media and received an email showing they changed the email to the one listed on their paypal, 3 days later an authorized claim showed up. Ha! Are you serious? You used the same email... I emailed them, "Im a christian man and i got hacked blah blah bla." Why would a hacker use your email for an account they purchased, the account still has their email, too funny. Thanks!

If you're Manchester United and you appoint an ex-coach of the Netherlands, Ajax and Barcelona who signs Falcao and Ángel Di María, you expect better than a style Wing Commander Reep would consider a bit too simplistic. You expect Wayne Rooney to be playing in attack and Marouane Fellaini to be in midfield, not the other way around.
So now that the club's third in the English Premier League, has only lost once in10ten games and it seems everyone's expecting them to return to the Champions League, the debate can evolve from "why is United so useless" to "why is United so bad to watch?"
It's something of a luxury narrative, given the club's miserable 18 months since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. And because there's nothing more beautiful than winning. Still, when no less a man than ex-United midfielder Paul Scholes sticks the boot in with as much vicious aggression as in one of hismis-timed tackles, it has to sting.
"I am struggling to watch Louis van Gaal's team with any great enjoyment," he wrote in The Independent. "At times, United's football is miserable. To beat opposing teams you have to attack, and to attack you have to take risks. Too few of the players in the current team are prepared to take those risks."
He goes on: "there is an obsession with possession. United fans don't care if the team only has 40 per cent possession as long as they are watching an attacking team. My experience was that the supporters understood that even our best teams, even the teams with Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar in goal, were going to concede goals. We were not reckless, or naïve, but always the chief aim was to attack – and we backed ourselves to outscore the opposition."
Scholes goes on to say that attacking soccer is a fundamental part of the club's history and identity. So is winning matches and qualifying for European competition, though. And the contrast between "long ball" and "attacking soccer" seems dubious, given that a direct ball forward is the quickest possible method of launching an attack.
Hard to imagine a week ago that a partly self-deprecating comment from West Ham manager and long ball legend Sam Allardyce could lead to so much hand-wringing at Old Trafford, and Van Gaal producing a stat dossier at a pre-match press conference. Back in Ferguson's day, it was United's opponents who grew so riled by criticism that they produced their own "facts."

The much-loved actor and comedian Robin Williams passed away last week amidst an outpouring of grief from fans around the world. The cause of his death was from an apparent suicide and it emerged that Williams had been battling depression for a number of years.
It's easy to eulogize and express sorrow over someone as famous as he, but it's easier to forget that there are also those suffering in silence. Of course, it goes without saying that with each individual case, people have varying degrees in their emotional state and well-being for reasons and causes beyond their control such as bereavements, a feeling of spiritual emptiness, unrequited love, breakup of marriages and relationships.
On a personal level, it's not like I have a different opinion to everyone else on this matter – I just happen to face a perfect storm of having a different cognitive behavioral pattern to most, which would otherwise mean a very different outlook on how I view the world, therefore making me susceptible to depression. This is caused from a high-functioning type of autism known as Asperger's Syndrome. Not to suggest that it's a trigger point for falling into feeling down, but perhaps a vulnerability owing to low self-esteem and a sense that my own life was being put on hold with nothing to look forward to. The grass is always greener et cetera.
I don't want to crow on when I was at my lowest ebb at the ages of so and so, because this would defeat the point I want to make about this piece. The reason I chose to scribe this is that there's a way out for anyone out there who feels alone. Though I will say this: I once received an email from a high-profile Grammy/Brit award winner who I won't name, but he said something along the lines of "You're not alone dude, ever. The truth is, the world is full of trials and tribulations – it's up to you how you handle each test with equal servitude." That is etched in my memory bank for as long as I live.
And he was right – life IS full of tests and hardship. Life IS full of servitude. So it's important to treat any small victories and successes as though they were huge because they seldom appear.
But a more salient point he made was I wasn't alone. Ever. Though the feeling of wallowing and being ambivalent, disinterested and detached from the world can make one feel anything but. The thing about depression is, it can drain all emotional feeling, remaining a hollow indifference, questioning life itself.
What makes matters worse is telling someone suffering from depression to say it's a passing phase and to snap out of it. If it was that easy don't you think they'd flick the emotional switch within a second? It's grossly insensitive and offensive in equal measure. There's no methodical, cut and thrust way to get rid of feeling blue, but everyone has their own light at the end of a tunnel. You don't have to row through a stormy sea on your own. And in truth, I often slip into a downward spiral of feelings filled with worthlessness and discontent.
To those of you reading this that are suffering in silence, talk to someone you can trust unconditionally with anything. It can be members of your family (though I can understand if your parents or those closest to you don't get what's up), councilors, a close friend or your significant other. If you want to even message me below in the comments or get in touch by email (my address is on the contact page). I'll never shun anyone away from those in their hour of need because I've been in that dark, lonely place myself. It's not something I would wish on anyone.

In terms of the number of patents, China has become the world's largest patent applicant, but for the technology industry, the core patent is the standard essential patent, which is the SEP patent, which refers to the inclusion in international standards, national standards and industries. In the standard, and the patents that must be used in the implementation of the standard, that is to say, when the standardization organization develops certain standards, some or all of the draft standards have no alternatives due to technical or commercial P, and it is inevitable to involve patents or patent application. When such a draft standard becomes a formal standard, the implementation of the standard will inevitably involve the patented technology contained therein.
To put it simply, the manufacturer owns the SPE patent, and the other companies can't circumvent the patent anyway. They have to use it and have to pay. Qualcomm earns a lot of money in the 3G and 4G eras because of the licensing agreement. SEP patents, other vendors have to purchase licenses.
In the 5G era, the patents of Chinese companies have also followed. According to IPLytics, a patent analyst, as of March 2019, Chinese manufacturers have applied for 34% of the world's major 5G patents, South Korea 25%, the United States and Finland each accounting for 14%, Sweden accounting for nearly 8%, and Japan accounting for 5%. Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy ranked in the top ten, accounting for less than 1%.
among themHuaweiHas 1554 5G SEP, Nokia, Samsung,LGShortly thereafter, another Chinese company, ZTE, also had 1,208 5G SEPs, ranking fifth, nearly 50% higher than the sixth-ranked Qualcomm.
The above data is not up-to-date. ZTE's science blogger @ZYJ Zhao Yajun recently released the latest list of 5G SEP patents. Huawei's 5G SEP patents reached 2,160, far higher than other manufacturers, and the second Nokia. The 5G SEP patent is 1516, the third is ZTE ZTE, and the 1424 SEP patent is very close to Nokia.
Further down is LG, Samsung, the two companies have declared 1359, 1353 SEP patents, Ericsson also has 1058 SEP patent statements.

Larry Itliong: The forgotten Filipino hero in American history
He is one of the leaders of the Delano Grape Strike
Sep 6, 2017
Humans tend to select the information we remember. In history, we are most likely to remember heroes like Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, but we forget about unpopular yet also significant heroes like Agueda Kahabagan who was hailed as the only female general of the Army of the Filipino Republic. Perhaps we knew and remembered them for our history classes. And their memories only remained in the classroom and in the minds of those who really care.
In American history, there is a Filipino hero we ourselves may have never heard of yet. His name is Larry Itliong.
Itliong was born on Oct. 25, 1913 in San Nicolas, Pangasinan. According to Itliong's son Johnny, he knows how to speak various Philippine dialects, Cantonese, and Japanese. He is also remembered as "an excellent card player and avid cigar smoker" and as a man who learned the law by attending trials.
At 15, he moved to the United States of America to—like many OFWs now—seek a better life. By the time he set foot there, The Great Depression just began. According to Inquirer, the economic struggle led him to take a job at the railroads and as a migrant farmer.
When you're in a foreign land, hardwork is essential for survival. However, Itliong strived for labor justice. He joined labor strikes of lettuce farmers in Washington and he helped organize a workers' union when he worked for a cannery in Alaska. However, it was his efforts with grape farmers in California that made history.
On Sept. 8, 1965, he gathered Filipino farm workers in the Filipino Community Hall to organize a strike. Hundreds of his fellows agreed to join the strike against poor working conditions and extremely low pay. "The next morning they went out to the vineyard, and then they left the crop on the ground, and then they walked out," Dawn Mabalon, an associate professor of history at San Francisco State University, told National Public Radio. "They're led by this really charismatic, veteran, seasoned, militant labor leader Larry Itliong."
The Delano Grape Strike also marked the union between Filipino and Mexican migrant workers. "In popular culture, it's seen as a Chicano movement, not as the multiethnic alliance that it actually was," Mabalon told The New York Times. "Cesar Chavez and others had been organizing Mexican workers around Delano for a few years, but a strike wasn't in their immediate plan," Lisa Morehouse wrote in an article for NPR. However, it was Itliong who encouraged Chavez to join them. Two weeks later, Itliong became Chavez's assistant director and Mexicans joined the Filipinos in a nonviolent strike involving fasting and marching.
For over 100 years, farm workers made efforts to fight the oppression. However, they always end up defeated. The Delano Grape Strike was the only successful effort. They gained the attention of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And Senator Robert F. Kennedy who called the laborers as "heroic figures." After the strike, table grape growers signed their first union contract.
Chavez is the primary hero of the Delano Grape Strike, at least that's what people remember. "I'd known of Cesar Chavez and Hispanics being involved. Being Filipino, it's like, 'Wow.' Filipinos actually made an impact in the process. It makes me proud that they were involved," said Melanie Retuda. "It was not taught—or talked about—at all," Anhelica Perez, whose grandmother participated in the Delano Grape Strike added.
It's quite baffling how history (or maybe our collective memory) eliminates certain pieces of information. Itliong is considered as one of the fathers of the West Coast labor movements, yet his name is not found is history textbooks until a bill recently required schools to teach students about his contribution to American history. "History was changed, but those stories weren't being told in the history books, weren't being captured, and it was important to me for that to change especially in the most diverse state in the country," Democratic Assemblyman Rob Bonta said.
In 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill declaring Oct. 25 as Larry Itliong Day. However, a date in memory of Itliong is meaningless if we don't even know the man behind the name. And a name is nothing but a mere signifier when we don't know what the advocacy of the man who bore that name. Itliong's recognition as one of the heroes of the Delano Grape Strike is, as Alex Edillor, whose parents joined the strike, "not only a point of pride, it's a point of fact."

I'm easing my way back into the physical health trail by choosing healthier entrees (with the occasional cheat) and doing light exercises such as walking and pilates. I've also been logging my eating and exercise activities in Twitter. (I just love using those hashtags!)
Looks like tomorrow I'll be hopping over to Nature's Basket and buying quinoa and lettuce. Nature's Basket is the only place I know of in Mumbai that sells both.
How do you keep yourself on the health trail?

It has been 10 months since Parker's surgery. Last week we were down in Cincinnati for his routine follow up. It was an eventful trip. First we went to the Voice Clinic where they assessed and analyzed Parker's voice. The hospital is running a long term study to research vocal quality post LTP and he is enrolled in the study, so we will attend the clinic probably once a year for the forseeable future. His voice is great. Little of the growly, husky vocal qualities that can be present after this surgery are present in Parker's voice. It does show up occasionally when he forces sounds but our goal is give him alternatives so he doesn't fall into a routine where that is just what he does.
The next day we headed back in the OR for a bronchoscopy. Unfortunately, Parker has had some nighttime breathing issues. We felt confident waiting until our scheduled appointment but also knew they needed to be addressed. It turns out that once again the "Perfect Storm" afflicts our little stinker. There are three issues that come into play while he is asleep. None of the issues by themselves would be causing issues but combined, they do.
First, when he falls asleep his tongue falls back into his mouth pushing his tonsils over part of his airway. Second, his arytenoids are partially prolapsing. (This is a piece of cartilage near the vocal cords.) Third, the muscle at the back of the tracheal rings is flopping partially into his airway. Each of these things takes a little bit of his airway away while he is sleeping and the result is that he has to work harder to breathe than he should. This might explain the constant waking and a sleepy mommy.
The plan is to have a sleep study done to see how serious the issues are while he is aleep – how hard he really is working, what his oxygen levels are, if he is sleep deprived, etc. From there we will make a plan moving forward. We could take a watch and wait approach or we may need to intervene surgically by either removing the tonsils and/or lasering down the arytenoid cartilage.
We also learned that Parker has a testicular hernia that will require a surgical repair. We are working with Cincinnati Children's to try to coordinate the sleep study and the surgery for the same trip. I hate to laugh at my son's big, blue man parts but really, all Ian and I can think is that only this kid would get that . . . The stories we will tell him someday!!!
Our new favorite movie is "Everyone's Hero." So, in the words of Brooks & Dunn . . . we'll "Keep on Swinging."

Product Description
Melnik Echoes is a montage of interior architectural details. In Melnik, as in all other Bulgarian houses of the upper middle class during the Revivalist period, walls and ceilings were painted by hand. This painting captures a typical wall treatment and ceiling pattern. I realized that the pieces were done freehand, not with stencils, as I painted what I saw. No two flowers are exactly alike.
The painting is 13 inches high by 29 inches wide, acrylic on stretched canvas on heavy duty stretchers, with painted sides; a frame is not necessary. It is signed and dated on the back. I send a letter of provenance which increases the value of the work. All my artwork is copyrighted by Eleanor Gilpatrick. Copyright is nontransferable through the purchase of artwork.
Hello!! I am a contemporary realist painter of landscapes, people, still lifes, and abstracts that reflect my love of beauty and the way I see the world. Some paintings deal with peace issues; some are about Climate Change; many have edgy compositions. I never sell prints of my artwork. So, see my descriptions to find out about each piece. Please write to me if you have any questions.

The soccer postseason has officially arrived as several area teams begin their quest for the Northern Section championship.
Brackets for Divisions I through III were released for both boys and girls soccer teams Saturday evening.
Here's a look at the the key matchups in each respective bracket.
Division I
In years past, the D-I bracket would at least be six teams, but this year it's a four-team bracket.
The Chico High boys soccer team earned the No. 1 seed after locking up its first Eastern Athletic League title in six years.
The Panthers (16-4-1) will host fourth-seeded Enterprise at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. However, start times for playoff games can be changed with mutual consent from both schools.
Chico, the defending section champions, will also be aiming to win its eighth straight game. Enterprise (5-10-4) lost to Chico twice during the regular season — a 2-0 loss on Jan. 16 at the Panthers' field and a 4-0 setback on Feb. 1 in Redding.
On the other side of the bracket, Pleasant Valley earned the No. 2 seed and will host third-seeded Shasta at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The Vikings (14-8-2) suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Wolves on Friday. But, PV head coach Nick Lopez has found a silver lining in the loss.
"It was a good moment to test out our character. The silver lining is we got to find out a lot about ourselves," Lopez said. "I feel like we're poised to be finding our best form going into playoffs, rather than having peaked and going on the decline."
Despite an early season 1-1 tie to Shasta, PV edged the Wolves for the No. 2 seed based on strength of schedule, Lopez said.
If the Vikings can get by Shasta, and Chico can top Enterprise, a Chico vs. PV rematch would be set for the section championship on Feb. 16.
Division II
The Division II bracket features 12 teams. Corning earned the top seed after finishing an undefeated 10-0 in the Westside League. University Prep of Redding is the No. 2 seed.
The Cardinals will host a second-round game on Thursday as they await the winner between No. 8 Lassen and No. 9 Sutter.
Oroville received the No. 12 seed and travel to fifth-seeded West Valley High in Cottonwood for a 3 p.m. game on Tuesday.
The Tigers (3-18-1) lost West Valley 7-0 on Dec. 11.
Paradise also earned a first-round bye. The Bobcats (9-6-2) finished behind Corning in the WSL standings and will host either No. 6 Gridley or 11th-seeded Yreka at 3 p.m. on Thursday.
On Tuesday, seventh-seeded Orland will host No. 10 Las Plumas at 3 p.m.
The Trojans (11-6-3) and Thunderbirds tied 1-1 on Jan. 24 at Harrison Stadium.
Though LP (3-11-4) only features three wins, it has played opponents tough. The Thunderbirds topped rival Oroville 3-2. Before that, LP registered four straight ties against opponents Paradise, Wheatland, Sutter and Orland.
Division III
The D-III bracket features eight teams and the margin separating each team isn't much.
The No. 1 seed went to Winters and it will host eighth-seeded Los Molinos at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The Hamilton High boys soccer team received the No. 2 seed. Both Winters and Hamilton finished the season with 15-3-2 records and shared the Sacramento Valley League title.
Hamilton will host seventh-seeded Pierce at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. The winner will move on to either face No. 3 Williams or No. 6 Esparto in the semifinal on Feb. 19.
"Playoffs is a whole other animal. It's time to dial it up a notch. That's exactly what I'm going to tell my boys," said Hamilton coach Luis Saavedra. "The intensity we had during the regular season, it's time to turn that intensity up."
Hamilton lost 1-0 to Williams in the 2018 section final game.
"I don't think any one of us has forgotten last year's loss," Saavedra said. "That's still very fresh in our minds."
Willows, seeded No. 4, hosts fifth-seeded Colusa and No. 3 Williams hosts No. 6 Esparto to round out the bracket. The section championship game is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Feb. 23.
Division I
The Chico High girls soccer team finished unbeaten in the Eastern Athletic League and received the No. 1 seed.
The Panthers will host fourth-seeded Red Bluff on Tuesday. The game is originally scheduled for noon, but could be pushed to a later start time.
If Chico wins, it automatically advances to the section final as part of the four-team bracket.
"I told them, 'Congratulations on making it through your season, but this is not what we're working for,'" Chico head coach Sarah Parker said. "A (section title) is what our girls have worked so hard for all season long. They've got their eye on the prize."
Second-seeded Shasta will host No. 3 Pleasant Valley at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. It'll be the third time both teams have played one another.
Both played to a 2-2 draw on Friday night. Shasta beat PV on Jan. 23 3-1 in Redding.
"Coming off the game (Friday night), I think the girls realized they can play with Shasta and play at a high level," said PV coach Eric Snedeker. "We're excited to play them again. Losing two goals late in the game is going to spark them a little bit. The table is set and I think we're ready for it."
The D-I section championship game is slated for Feb. 16.
Division II
Corning received the No. 2 seed and will await the winner between No. 7 Wheatland and No. 10 LP.
University Prep, which has yet to lose, sports a 24-0 record earned the No. 1 seed.
Sixth-seeded Orland hosts No. 11 Yreka with the winner moving on to play No. 3 West Valley. Paradise received the No. 5 seed and will play No. 4 Anderson.
Division III
Hamilton is the only area team in the D-III bracket. The Braves, seeded No. 6, will travel and play No. 3 Esparto. The winner of that matchup will play at No. 2 Colusa on Feb. 19 in the semfinal.
The section final is scheduled for Feb. 23.

German Retail Sales Rise Slightly In August
Published on Sep 30 2019 8:20 AM in Retail tagged: Featured Post / Trending Posts / Germany / Retail Sales / World News / August 2019
German retail sales rose slightly in August, data showed on Monday, helping to allay concerns that a recession in the manufacturing sector is starting to take its toll on a consumption-driven growth cycle in Europe's largest economy.
Retail sales were up by 0.5% on the month in real terms after an upwardly revised drop of 0.8% the previous month, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed. The reading matched a Reuters forecast.
On the year, retail sales rose 3.2% after an upwardly revised increase of 5.2% the previous month, the data showed. Retail sales are a volatile indicator often subject to revision.
The Brexit Factor
Uncertainties linked to Britain's planned departure from the European Union and trade conflicts between the United States and China have plunged Germany's export-dependent manufacturing sector into a recession.
Many economists expect the economy to fall into recession in the third quarter after contracting in the second.
Data due to be published later on Monday is expected to show the number of people out of work rose by 5,000 in September after an increase of 4,000 the previous month.

Purpose: To evaluate the service learning clinical training facility's HIPAA training by assessing student-clinician knowledge of the clinic's HIPAA Compliance Plan and the impact of its training on student-clinician perceptions toward HIPAA-compliant patient-provider communication (PPC). For example, do student-clinicians feel it is important to be HIPAA-compliant and are they confident in discussing health-related activities and programs with patients or caregivers? The purpose of this project is not, at this time, to measure student-clinician intention to perform the behavior.
Methods: This project employed a mixed-methods, non-experimental cross-sectional study design using a retrospective post-test survey and group interview. The survey was administered to student-clinicians (N = 39) at the service learning clinical training facility who were enrolled in the speech-language pathology and audiology programs. Survey responses were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and descriptive statistics assessing knowledge. A group interview was conducted with a subset of first-year student-clinicians (n = 2). The group interview provided additional context and insight into how student-clinicians may actually perform when presented with the most common clinical scenarios for PPC at the clinic such as, 1) caregivers accompanying clients into the exam room, 2) email communication with a caregiver requesting information to assist the client, and 3) communication with a client in a public space. Common themes and the most common responses for each scenario were identified.
Results: Overall, the Wilcoxon-signed rank test showed that the clinic's HIPAA training produces a statistically significant improvement in student clinician perception six months post training as it relates to HIPAA-compliant PPC through analysis of perceptions toward self-efficacy (Z = -4.814, p
Recommendations: 1) Based on the findings of the service learning activities and the evaluation, implementation of HIPAA training sessions periodically throughout the academic year in addition to continuation of the current annual training session should be completed. 2) Further evaluation of the clinic's workforce in relation to behavioral intention to complete HIPAA-compliant PPC should be completed through replication of the evaluation using a traditional pre-post survey administered immediately before, after and 6 months post annual training. 3) The Clinic should implement electronic forms to assist the workforce when reporting a breach in HIPAA privacy. An electronic reporting process might enable a greater sense of one's ability to perform a behavior while increasing confidentiality of the reporter.

Deciding to become a caregiver for a loved one is a tough decision. It can mean changing your work schedule, driving your loved one to doctor's appointments and running errands for them that they can no longer do themselves.
It can also cause you to grow apart from your friends.
As you transition into your role as a caregiver, here are some tips to help you maintain your friendships.
Be honest
Let your friends know if your circumstances change. For example, let your friends know what's going on if your loved one needs extended medical care. When they're updated about your situation, it helps your friends understand what is going on and why your availability changed.
Don't ignore your friends
When you become a caregiver, you will be drained emotionally and physically and will naturally want to withdraw from people. You may even feel guilty about leaving your loved one when you can spend time with friends.
This time away is important for your health and lets your friends know that you still appreciate them and what to maintain a relationship.
Continue to be a friend
If you want to maintain your friendships, make sure you're being a good friend to them. Be the one to reach out to others, and not just when you need something. Talk about the positive experiences you've had as a caregiver and not the negatives.
Hearing happy stories will let your friends know you're doing well and they will be more likely to stay in contact.
Set aside time for your friends
Whether you set aside an entire day or just have a lunch day, make sure you take time to be with your friends. If you keep saying "We should meet up soon!" without making plans, your friends will begin filling their social time with other events and people.
Make new friends
Try to meet new friends if you discover your social connections have decreased. There are often support groups for caregivers and this is a great way to meet people in the same situation as you. You could also join a sports group or volunteer at a local organization.
It's also important to know when being a caregiver has become too taxing on your life. If you become depressed or feel you aren't able to provide the medical attention your loved one needs, call Embassy Healthcare at 888-975-1379 or send us a message and see how we can help.

Critic Reviews for White Lies
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (0)
Ms. Black, a New Zealand recording artist making her film debut, and Ms. House, both actresses of formidable presence, are well-matched opponents. Ms. Prebble, too, has reserves of power.
A solid feminine melodrama about the colonial/racist past of the director's adoptive country. [Full review in Spanish]
Showcases a triangle of strong female performances, impressive cinematography and music.
A deeply moving reminder of man's inhumanity to man in less enlightened times.
Thematically, White Lies is essential cinema, unafraid to delve into female issues even contemporary societies grapple with.
[Whirimako] Black is a towering screen presence who honours not only Rotberg's and Ihimaera's creation but also the centuries-old dignity and customs of her people.

On my first visit to Dartmoor I recall thinking it was boring open moorland with nothing to make a good photograph apart from the odd rocky Tor! Well, that was quite some time ago and since then I've grown to really appreciate its shapes, subtle colours and rugged looks. Dartmoor is, I guess, one of those places that grows on you. 🙂 Nowadays its one of my favourite places in England. Its like a wild animal – for days it will be warm, friendly and accepting then for no apparent reason it'll have your arm off if you're not careful. 🙂 Its wild, its rugged, its just the sort of place I like. 🙂
Early last week, the weather forecast looked promising for a visit but from afar you can never be sure. Dartmoor weather does what it will and pays little heed to the pronouncements of weather forecasters. My plan was to be on the very Western side of the moor for evening and spend an hour investigating opportunities somewhere I'd not been before – Hayne Down. But I arrived later than planned, just after midday and four hours before sunset so there wasn't really sufficient time to investigate the area and to head further West so I chose to stay.
The weather was lovely; better than forecast and I could see high and thin cloud which I thought would catch the evening light, there was no wind, it was sunny – but not overly so – and warm. One of the first photographs of the afternoon was North past a pinnacle of rocks known as the Bowerman's Nose.
The light was still strong and perhaps not in the best position for the above photograph but the low angle of sunlight nicely emphasised the trees and hedges on the distant landscape.
In my rush to park and commence photography I'd somehow missed the obvious parking near the top of the hill and parked at its base. Not good. The hill was much bigger than I had thought and the approach I chose, following sheep tracks, led through some horrible bracken and grass covered rocks that just wanted to twist or break your ankles. It was an uphill slog with the sun in my eyes. Note to self – think about your approach more… Realising the light was harsh I returned to the truck and moved it nearer to the top of the hill so as to make a dark descent through hidden rocks unnecessary and thus a lot safer.
On returning to the rocks an hour or so later the light was starting to turn and paint the landscape in a wonderful golden light. Compare the colours in the photographs above and below. The foreground is different but the distant hills are the same. The harshness of the light had gone and things were now getting beautifully soft. 🙂
That light continued to improve for another hour before the sun finally dipped below the Western horizon at which point all those thin high-level clouds that I thought might catch the light, did so and turned wonderfully pink to the East and yellow and orange to the West. Even after sunset I was shooting for a further hour.Fantastic photographs of Hayne Down, Dartmoor by Andy Gawthrope Photography. See: http://bit.ly/2pmAwD0 Click To Tweet
Days like that are what makes landscape photography so rewarding. Forgotten are thoughts of the lacklustre days when the weather just didn't cooperate. It was one of those days when there was no wrong. It was magic. 🙂

5-6 October 2017, Copenhagen – After their stint in Sweden and Norway, Filipino SMEs completed exploring market opportunities in the Nordic region by holding meetings with potential buyers and distributors in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The SMEs met with Mr. Jan Lundgren, CEO of Coop Trading A/S, a major supermarket conglomerate in Denmark. All the SMEs presented their products to Coop Trading's procurement executives who were eager to see new products from the Philippines. They learned about Denmark's food market profile and general outlook at Danish Industries. They also conducted Merchandise Surveys at two of COOP's major supermarket chains, Kvicky and IRMA.
The Filipino SMEs are participants in the Outbound Business Matching Mission (OBMM) of the Department of Trade and Industry-Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB).
The Nordic tour was completed with the assistance and support of the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Stockholm and the Philippine Embassy to the Nordic region based in Oslo.

From the past few months, we are on a mission to make a toolkit for the all-new Gutenberg editor. We at Codestag laid down all our design & development skills on the road and created a roadmap, in which we've successfully completed our first set of blocks. The next round of updates will cover new blocks and any issues found in between.
There is still a lot to come in Stag Blocks for which we feel passionate and excited, as the Gutenberg editor grows to acquire the most of WordPress industry we'll also make Stag Blocks ready to use as a better companion for Gutenberg.
Gutenberg & Changes in WordPress
Gutenberg editor aka Block editor is the new big shot in WordPress, it was a long overdue change awaited for WordPress to compete in this evergrowing web industry. With Gutenberg, WordPress has really shown us how content creation becomes super easy with blocks. But wait Gutenberg is not only about its visuals in fact it comes with a great user experience control and super fast workflow.
Creating a post and publishing has never been easier than this, blocks are just phenomenal when it comes to adding content. There is a huge list of all the features & improvements that are available in Gutenberg, here are some of the noticing features found in the Gutenberg editor.
- Easy workflow for blocks – A user can easily enough add a block, move a block or delete it. Editing a block is also super easy with the sidebar inspector, ones you start editing a block the sidebar inspector becomes visible with all the available options for you to personalize.
- Inherits active theme styles & properties – One of the best things about Gutenberg is the fact that its compatible with any theme and inherits most of the theme styles and properties by itself.
- Human readable & less markup – This has to be the best part of Gutenberg that it doesn't bloat your content markup with excessive html tags nested one inside another. The markup Gutenberg creates is human readable and easily editable.
- Formatting & Cloning content – Cloning content from any other website is easier & better than ever, you can simply paste content copied from any site and Gutenberg will automatically format the code to look like the same as it was on the origin page.
- Default Blocks & Extensions – Blocks available by default in Gutenberg are enough to make a content-focused website. But there is more you can do with blocks than there is to default blocks, this is where custom plugins for enhancing Gutenberg blocks will make you do more with Gutenberg.
Creating content with Stag Blocks inside Gutenberg
With Stag Blocks, you get a set of beautifully designed blocks which will help you in creating content-rich websites in power & speed. Stag Blocks v1 comes with 9 blocks that are designed to fit within any theme/content.

Republicans are already on the hook for political hostage-taking, fraud, wanton disregard. . .

#1 Tip for How to Cover Acne Scars and Pimples
There is a great tip for how to cover acne scars that I only just came across recently. After years of practice and experience covering my acne and acne scars, I should have known this. Better late than never.
Here is the trick:
** Let your concealer set for a few seconds before you blend. **
Sounds so obvious, doesn't it? Well, I am always in such a rush that I've never done that. It is amazing the difference it makes.
The next time you put on your makeup, follow these steps to cover your acne scars, pimples, discoloration. You name it.
- Wash your skin
- Apply your preferred acne treatment
- Apply your preferred moisturizer
- Put on a little primer
- Dab on a little concealer
- Let it set for a few seconds!!!
- Blend by dabbing gently or using a concealer brush to blend the edges
- Finish off with a little foundation, but don't rub it in. Otherwise, all your careful concealer application will be ruined. If you can, just use a little powder foundation instead of liquid
I would love to hear anyone else's tips for covering acne scars or covering acne in general. Comments are always welcome.
– Sharyn
P.S. My preferred concealer at the moment is Tarte's

ET, Everyday Sunday, exams, friends, lunch, muppet show, Oreos, pink, prom, radio, reviews, stabbing, word association
Word Association
Order :: Takeout Mortician :: Getting our hair done… don't ask. Determine :: d Ignore :: You Guy :: Fahrenheit 451 Train :: Crash Garlic :: bread Wacky :: Cartoon sound EFX Parent :: I think I have one of those Burning :: Bush
Yes, most of this is all about last week… I'm avoiding studying and whatnots…
Cultural Pluralism
Such a long time ago! I don't really think I remember much of this… Monday may have been… yes… it was when we got our fluorescent pink study guides. There was too much pink in my bible case… pink pen, pink highlighter, pink study guide… it was disgusting. I guess we reviewed, but mostly I just remember pink and drawing pictures and playing catch with
Jeff before class. And other Chris scolding us, heh ^_^
Wednesday was… we got another study guide for the essays and then split into groups to answer them so we could go over the answers as a class.
Jeff tried to draw the picture Wednesday, but it wasn't turning out how he wanted it to, so I drew another doggy. Our professor was nice and wrote around my picture while we went over essay answers ^_^
Friday was another review… I got there early and made a note on the board to try and get people to listen to my last radio show. Iono if anyone did… but I tried. Our prof also brought us brownies, so yay! I wore all my spikes that day, too…
Jeff told me to not punch him, so I said I'd just give him a hug instead. Good times.
Tuesday was… a long time ago and I think we watched the muppet show and talked about how it incorporated theater elements. That was our final project.
Thursday was course evaluations and then discussion about ways to improve the class when he teaches it next time.
Audio Recording
Tuesday was… talking about time code and synching audio & video. We watched clips of ET. It's funny how my classes seem to get all nostalgic over these movies that we watch parts of for class… I wonder how many of them actually went out and rented ET after seeing it Tuesday.
Thursday was review for the exam… I made myself look stupid by describing a spring reverb effect when our instructor asked me to talk about a coil microphone… I had the right idea, just not the right item.
Friday I re-mixed the song I'd done the week before, and did the commercial. Took me FOREVER to fix it all… I left less than 10 minutes before my radio shift started. Of course…
dreadlocks Chris was there before my studio time, and I waited almost 15 minutes for him to finish whatever he was doing.
Did the exam today for audio recording… I think I did alright. There were prolly 3-4 questions that I know I got wrong, but I think the rest was okay.
Our prof was scaring us though by being late to the exam… If you want to be a teacher, don't EVER do that to your students! x_x
Broadcast Announcing
Tuesday was… no class.
Thursday was course evaluations and nothing else. I got out after only 5 minutes of class and then waited for nearly 2 hours for my parents to come and get me. I needa learn to drive myself…
Went to class and talked about very few things… finished real quick-like. Talked to
Mugi for a little while afterwards and then went to eat my lunch of cheez-its in the conservatory.
Wednesday Lunch/Oreos
Ate lunch with
other Chris and Jen and their friends again. Ate a lemon cookie and that was not good… other Chris had worse luck with food than I did though. He kept saying that stuff tasted funny and that the ranch dressing was all runny again… and that whenever he gets anything that isn't self-serve, they always give him less than the people in front of him. Told him that one of these days he'll find out that everyone else's dressing is normal and they water down part of it, just for him…
I was sad… instead of that lemon cookie, I almost got one of the Oreo brownies that they had, but no… dishwashing-liquid cookie won out for some reason (
Rachael tried to convince me to go get one of these cheesecake thingummies that they had, but I don't like cheesecake much). Other Chris got the brownie though, and I got to hear another story about poor Jen being stabbed for getting between other Chris and dessert once before. But, then he left the table and told us not to mess with his food and Jen poked a hole in the brownie. He wasn't too happy when he got back, but I was rather amused ^_^
Friday I brought both of them these packs of mini Oreos, which was fun. That way there would be no stabbing…
Jen liked them, but I think other Chris looked scared. He wasn't paying attention when I went and put it on his desk, so when he saw them he came over to where I sit and wanted to know why I'd brought them… honestly… I didn't do anything to them! He said I could come and eat with them again, but I didn't find out when they'd be at the MDR today or tomorrow. I e-mailed to find out when… but I got nothing. Maybe I'll hear back from him, or maybe not. Iono.
Radio Club
My last show went well for the most part. The first few songs weren't mine though, because when I got there the mouse wasn't working and I couldn't change out songs& whatnot. I had to call
Patrick to find out how to fix it… but after that it went well. Mugi heard me over in the Cap Center, so he came over to the studio at the end of my shift to talk to me and say goodbye and stuff. That was nice of him… then I went and left. Headed over to the Cap Center and waited for my dad and my Chris to get there so we could go home and eat before we went to the Everyday Sunday concert…
I went to the Everyday Sunday concert though… I'm not sure I like them live, but I guess you never really know until you go to a show. I did preorder the CD though… I think I was too scary looking to be there because I was wearing black and spikes that day. I have also never seen so much junior-high moshing in my life… and I believe that my Chris never wants to see it again.
Well, I went to the very lastest prom I shall ever go to… whew!
I was sick to begin with. I got up late. I had to wear a plastic JC Penny's bag over my head so I could take a shower. I got my hair done and I was soooooooooo tired… and I was upset because at first when she was done curling my hair, I looked like a lion! I could've been in that musical Cats with hair like that… or the Wizard of Oz.
Then we went home, ate, sat around… eventually got ready… I had to have help with jewelry because my hair was too curly for me to get a necklace around my neck… and the I had dirt on my dress… I was furious…
We took some pictures and then left a half hour late for dinner. Drove there in a new SUV that we'd rented since we couldn't get a limo. It had a DVD player, so we watched Mulan on the way.
We ate at Olive Garden and I got something expensive that I didn't finish… it was pretty good though. People kept staring at us while we were there…
Eventually we left and went to the place… couldn't find where to get in at first, but eventually we did. I won't even attempt to describe prom… there were many weird and awkward things going on…
Samuel accounts for most of them. And David. And Dan. And my Chris.
Eventually we came home and I sat up with
Chris until his mom came and picked him up, then I finally got to go change and eventually go to sleep. It was tiring. I didn't get up until 3:30 the next afternoon because my illness caught up with me… I feel somewhat better now though.
- for me to make friends/get better talking to the ones I have
– Talked to
Melody last week once or twice. Called her today, but she was busy.
– You already have read my stories about my school friends that I'm trying to make…
– Talked to various peoples at prom… a little.
- for our houses to sell
– There's some weird situation going on at the old house… dunno if we'll sell it yet, but we might.
– The new house had a showing today that was really badly timed… I tore apart my room last night looking for a CD and then I had to go and fix it all this morning. It was NOT fun x_x
That's all for now. Later & God bless.

The Watch-men Ep 66: "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter"
The day has come for The Watch-men to say a sorrowful goodbye to the most successful video game franchise of all time: Resident Evil.
…Oh man, does that ever say something about the sad state of video game adaptations.
Sam and Vincent return to the franchise, which they started watching 15 years ago, with their review of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Does the series go out on a zombie-killing high? Does Milla Jovovich finally defeat the insidious Umbrella Corporation? Does Paul W.S. Anderson continue to say "f**k it" to all logic and continuity?
We discuss this, plus give our thoughts on the Resident Evil series as a whole and rank the six films from worst to — I don't want to say best — so, least worst!

We've said it before and we'll say it again: If you haven't tried taking a drone with you on a trip, you're missing out. So much of a vacation these days, for better and, sometimes, for worse, is about capturing and sharing moments. Drones allow you to see and shoot your environment with a perspective once reserved for helicopter film crews and daredevil paragliders. On an empty beach? There's no better way to see just how wonderfully alone you are than launching a camera 100 feet into the air. Struggling to find a member of your group with long enough limbs to fit everyone into a single selfie? These days, drones will do it for you with a press of a button. There was a time, not long ago, when carrying a drone meant lugging around a large, heavy, hard case, but manufacturers are now able to fit more power in smaller packages. From high-powered robots to next-generation selfie sticks, here are some of our favorite drones for every type of traveler.
This gallery was originally published in June 2017; it has been updated with new picks.
Courtesy DJI
Best for: The aspiring filmmaker
Since 2016, the high-end-but-packable standard was set by the DJI Mavic Pro, a versatile and powerful drone that became the go-to for pros and casual travelers alike. But it was only a matter of time before DJI upped itself. Back in August, the company finally announced its standard-bearer's follow-up, the Mavic 2, and unless you already own a Mavic Pro, in which case you have some hard calculus to do to figure out if it's worth the upgrade, this should be the one on your Christmas list. But the tough decisions don't end with whether you should swap out the original Mavic Pro—still a great machine—for the sequel: The Mavic 2 also comes in two versions, both with their own benefits. The Mavic 2 Pro, armed with a super-high-quality Hasselblad camera, and the Mavic 2 Zoom, featuring a lens capable of optical zoom. Whichever version you decide to go with—more on making that decision here— you'll be in good shape. This is now far and away the fastest, best quality, and, when it comes to battery life, longest lasting travel-friendly drone on the market.
Buy now: $1,499, amazon.com
Courtesy Yuneec
Best for: The first time flier
This little thing—all 13 ounces of it—isn't going to give you the quality and control of the Mavic, but that's not why you bought it. Fun and still packing a built-in 4K camera that gets shockingly good video and stills for a low price point, it also has a host of automated modes that are a big draw for the nervous flier. Press a button on the smartphone app that doubles as your controller, and watch as the drone cues up a selfie, follows you, or, in 'journey mode,' flies away from you and then comes zooming back, capturing smooth footage while it does so. Plus, it's fairly sturdy, and has replacement parts available, so you won't be too heart-broken when you accidentally go barreling into a lamppost on your second flight.
Buy now: $399.99, yuneec.com
Courtesy Hover
Best for: The selfie star
Serious drone-nerds may scoff at our inclusion of this nifty piece of gear—it doesn't come close to the range, speed, or amount of bells and whistles as some of the others on this list. But, that doesn't mean it's not an ideal tool for a certain kind of traveler. For the person who wants something portable enough to fit in their coat pocket that can take quick shots to the next level, the Hover Camera Passport is ideal. It has a small, but powerful camera, sophisticated facial recognition software that allows it to follow a subject, take a "dronie" (we promise to never use that word again), or circle a focus point with ease. The boxy design not only allows you to fold it in half like a book for maximum portability, but also protects the propellers from damage and your fingers from cuts when you want to grab it out of the air. You might not be able to fly it two miles away over a forest, but it will take some killer shots of you and your family on the beach, right out of the palm of your hand.
Buy now: $319, amazon.com
Courtesy DJI
Best for: Well... Just about everyone.
If we had to choose one drone for someone who is curious, but not totally committed to the idea of drone-flying, it would be this. Tiny? Check—this thing weighs as much as a can of soda. Versatile? Yep—you can launch it straight from the palm of your hand and control it with your hand gestures, Luke Skywalker style; use your phone to engage automated modes and fly it manually; or take things up a notch with an optional controller that lets you fly it 1.24 miles away from you at 31 miles per hour. Quality photography? The fact that the engineers at DJI were able to pack this amount of features, a 12 megapixel camera that can shoot HD video, and an ease of use that is missing from any of its competitors in this class is frankly astounding. DJI's Mavic Pro is still a more powerful machine, but for the newbie and the seasoned flier alike, the DJI Spark offers a whole lot in a small package.
Buy now: From $299, amazon.com
Parrot Brand Studio
Best for: The early adopter
French drone-maker Parrot went quiet for a few years, but that's only because they were working on this, a serious contender in the world of travel-friendly drones. The Anafi, which engineers built using insect anatomy as inspiration, weighs just 0.7 pounds, but with a powerful camera and the ability to fly up to 34 miles per hour, it's seriously impressive for a drone of its size. It has all the trappings we expect from a drone in its price range—automated shooting modes, 4K video, solid stability even in windy conditions—but it also has some features that are pushing the envelope. The positioning of its camera at the front of the drone means it can shoot in any direction, including upwards, and it's significantly quieter than some of its buzzier competitors. Still, we'd recommend it to someone who already has some experience with drones; it's notably lacking in obstacle avoidance hardware, so you need to know what you're doing lest you destroy an expensive piece of equipment.
Buy now: $699.99, parrot.com

Best for: The traveler who wants it all
If Goldilocks was into drones instead of porridge and mattresses, this would be her "just right" pick. DJI's Mavic Air, released earlier this year, hits a sweet spot between a hobbyist's novelty (like DJI's Spark) and a pro photography tool (like the Mavic Pro). It's tiny, foldable (and thus packable), and incredibly powerful. It shoots 4K video—what self-respecting drone doesn't these days?—but it can also shoot 1080p slow-motion video at 120 fps (translation: a dreamy slo-mo of waves breaking against the cliff you're standing on). When it comes to stills, it shoots 12 megapixels, like the Spark, but also can seamlessly create a 32-megapixel panorama or wraparound globe-shaped shot. The camera is mounted on an intricately designed gimbal, but this one swivels on three axes (like the Mavic Pro) instead of two (like the Spark). Add to this an impressive range of 2.5 miles, a top speed of 42.5 miles per hour, and 21 minutes of flight time (just six minutes short of the Mavic Pro), and you've got yourself a seriously handy travel tool. Plus, you won't destroy it on your first flight: It's armed with the most sophisticated obstacle avoidance technology around.

Application performance management vendor Netscout, has released the results of a survey conducted in association with consulting group Ashton, Metzler and Associates. It suggested that 85 percent of respondents polled either use or plan to use video conferencing.
Forty-one percent of those questioned are also using, or investigating the use of so-called telepresence – a high-end version of videoconferencing that provides a more life-like experience. The respondents cited the technology's potential to cut on travel costs as the primary reason for using it.
The survey also concluded that in nearly 15 percent of organisation that with IT had no involvement in the evaluation, selection or installation process connected to videoconferencing.
Furthermore, 71 percent were running, or planned to run, these services over a converged network rather than the 13 percent who said they would use a dedicated network.
Netscout's marketing vice president Jim Frey said that a those enterprises implementing telepresence should be aware of the bandwidth requires, which can be add "15Mbit/s of bandwidth on their existing networks".
This kind of network load, "could easily affect existing applications and adversely impact the value intended by adopting the technology," he added.
The research is based on interviews with 400 enterprise network managers from across the globe.
Videoconferencing gains momentum
By Dave Bailey on May 26, 2008 4:09PM
Recently released research suggests that videoconferencing – a much talked about, but seldom-used technology – may finally be earning its spurs within the enterprise.

Kitchen appliances can take up a lot of precious counter space. Still, it's a little surprising that across the pond a new trend is seeing homeowners ditching their kettles entirely.
But tea lovers aren't going without boiling water. According to the Daily Telegraph, the latest craze — popping up in an estimated one-third of designer kitchens in the United Kingdom — is the instant hot water tap.
These built-in taps are connected to a small heated tank and provide boiling water on demand. Proponents say they're also more energy-efficient, as you boil only the water needed for beverages, cooking pasta or vegetables, rather than heating up extra in a kettle or on the stove.
In the U.K., sales of the Quooker, which touts itself as the world's only 100-degree Celsius tap and retails for roughly $1,300, have tripled over the past year.
While the Dutch-based brand won't be available in North America until 2012, systems that offer hot but "not-quite-boiling" water are already available at big-box retailers. Prices start at about $200.
