As a well known fast casual sports bar, BW3's chose to differentiate their experience into something own-able. Consumer research led to the ultimate social experience for sports fans; great food and beer in a stadium atmosphere. Every step of the journey was infused with the feeling of a premium sports arena—from marketing to media, uniforms to merchandising.
The immersive environment was designed to be comfortable for both fans and families. Zoned spaces allow guests to choose a quieter, more intimate place to eat, or opt to be closer to the action in the center of the room. This prototype also was designed to be cost-effective and scalable for both rollout and retrofit.
Conceptual Design
The initial designs alluded to the idea of the arena of sports, where even if you couldn't make it to the big game in person, you would still feel as though you were part of the stadium experience. Initial massing models of functionality as well as interior and exterior renderings of the space aimed to give the impression of tailgating by the stadium with use of bold graphics, materials, and massing proportions.
Final Built Prototype
The final design was rolled out in both full ground-up build as well as retrofit standards. The final design merged the brand pillars of BWW (wings, beer, sports) and combined them with an amped up atmosphere where all brand aspects, including logo, restaurant design, audio-visual capabilities and operations create an immersive experience.

Jaden UlroanRead More
Chevak, AlaskaMany students are nervous or anxious before starting college but not Jaden Ulroan. Involved with ANSEP since middle school, he feels excited and prepared to start his freshman year at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where he will study civil engineering.
Jaden, who recalls having an interest in math and science classes from the time he was little, first became involved with ANSEP through Middle School Academy. Being surrounded by other students who have a passion for STEM inspired him to continue through the ANSEP pipeline from there.
"I made great friends who were also passionate about STEM while earning college credit through ANSEP Acceleration Academy," said Jaden. "Working with my peers and instructors who loved math and science as much as I do made it really fun."
After graduating from high school in May 2017, Jaden didn't take the summer off. Instead, he spent his summer preparing for college as part of ANSEP's Summer Bridge component. He completed a paid internship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service while earning college math credits and living on the UAA campus. Through his internship, he gained hands-on experience collecting data on creek temperatures, water flow and fish counts.
"It is really cool to see how this stuff actually works. I knew that scientists tested the environment and collected this information, but I never knew how they actually did it. Seeing it come to life and learning about the importance of protecting the refuge made everything we learn in the classroom more applicable," said Jaden.
As part of Summer Bridge, students also have "family dinners" every Friday, and Jaden said this helped him build a strong support group with other students. Although Jaden has enjoyed the classes and STEM opportunities, his favorite thing about ANSEP is the people. Each summer he looks forward to reconnecting with his friends, instructors and youth peer mentors who are such a positive influence in his life.
He believes that ANSEP has helped prepare him for his college and professional career by providing a support network to encourage and propel him through his STEM studies. Referring to the ANSEP building as a home away from home, Jaden is confident going to college where he already has friends studying similar fields and mentors he can turn to if he needs advice.
"ANSEP helps more then people ever know. In addition to providing strength and support, ANSEP connects you with friends who share the common goal of investing in themselves to graduate with a STEM degree and better their futures," said Jaden.
Thanks to the generous support from ANSEP strategic partners like the Association of Village Council Presidents, more students from the Yukon-Kuskowim Delta like Jaden are being exposed to ANSEP's proven educational methods which allow students from the area to arrive academically and socially prepared for college and their careers.

Jeremy ChungRead More
Bethel, Alaska
Eighteen-year-old Jeremy Chung, Yup'ik from Bethel, Alaska, recently graduated high school and enrolled as an ANSEP Summer Bridge student. It was not a difficult decision for Jeremy to choose to spend his summer learning and getting real-world work experience – he has had his sights set on becoming a computer engineer for some time and knows this summer with ANSEP will give him a leg up. A first-generation college attendee at the University of Alaska Anchorage this fall, Jeremy says his computer engineering dreams are finally on the horizon, thanks to his drive for success as well as financial and academic support from ANSEP. We caught up with Jeremy this week to get to know this future Alaska engineer and learn what he's been up to this summer.
ANSEP: As a pre-college student interested in computer engineering, has Summer Bridge given you a good sneak-peek at what your career will be like?
JEREMY: Definitely. This summer I'm completing a paid internship with the Bureau of Land Management in the IT department and doing just about everything a typical IT support technician would do – troubleshooting computers, updating software, replacing hardware – I'm loving it. It's really been helpful in furthering my knowledge of the industry and what my career will be like.
ANSEP: How did you get involved with ANSEP?
JEREMY: I've wanted to become a computer engineer since I was in 10th grade at Bethel Regional High School. I took a computer programming class, and it was the first class that really clicked in my brain. My teachers noticed a difference in my interest level right away and told me to get involved with ANSEP. Now I'm a paid computer engineering intern, I'm earning college math credit and I have financial support that will help me earn my college degree. And, I'm the first person in my family to do so.
ANSEP: What's the greatest obstacle you've had to overcome on the path to college?
JEREMY: I've had several – finances, family members passing, living in a remote area. Honestly, without ANSEP I wouldn't be here. The people, mentors and friends I've made have helped me a lot and have encouraged me to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a computer engineer.
ANSEP: What are your goals as you become a full-time college student?
JEREMY: I'd like to stay involved with ANSEP as much as possible and continue earning scholarships until I complete my degree. I also want to maintain a strong GPA and take on as many internships as possible during the summer months.
ANSEP: Where do you see yourself after college?
JEREMY: Living in Alaska and working as a computer engineer for BP Alaska or the Bureau of Land Management.
ANSEP: What has been your favorite part of ANSEP so far?
JEREMY: It's not all work – we get to do so many fun things on the weekends like paintballing, cruising in Seward, zip lining and more. We do tons of team-building activities like this, and I've made lots of friends as a result. Everyone is super friendly and willing to help with homework, classes, etc. It's a lot of fun.
ANSEP: Do you have any advice for other students pursuing STEM degrees?
JEREMY: Be cool, stay in school, don't procrastinate, study hard and work hard. Oh, and definitely get involved with ANSEP – they offer endless programs that will keep you headed in the right direction.
Thanks to generous support from the Association of Village Council Presidents, more students from the Yukon-Kuskowim Delta like Jeremy are being exposed to ANSEP's proven educational methods. AVCP joined ANSEP last year as a strategic partner. AVCP's three-year, $1.5 million grant is allowing ANSEP to expand its reach in the YK Delta and for more students from the area to arrive academically and socially prepared for college and their careers.

Justis GeerdtsRead More
Bethel, Alaska
Justis Geerdts has wanted to become an engineer for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, the classes available to her weren't challenging her the way she needed. Then she heard about ANSEP – a program and community where she could live like a college student while getting a head start on the classes she needed for an engineering degree. Justis immediately applied for Acceleration Academy, a five-week, all-expenses-paid summer ANSEP component for high school students. She was hooked from her first hands-on, team-building project: creating a Rube Goldberg machine.
"We had several small groups each creating a small piece of the puzzle that would ultimately become part of one big movement as a collective group. It was great working as a team and putting our minds together to figure out how our small piece would become part of the overall goal. It was a challenge, but it was one that I enjoyed. It made me realize how much I like engineering," Justis recalls.
Now 18 years old, Justis participated in another Acceleration Academy before graduating high school earlier this year. Today, she is an ANSEP Summer Bridge student with several credits toward her degree in civil engineering and plans to attend the University of Alaska Anchorage in the fall. In the meantime, you can find her at BP Alaska, working on emergency water supply plans as a paid engineering intern or on campus, familiarizing herself with the rigors of college life alongside her ANSEP peers while taking a college class.
According to Justis, the engineering internship has opened her eyes to the opportunities available within the career field as well as the many different areas of engineering. Justis sees herself staying in Alaska after earning her degree, and one day she hopes to work out in the field. Though she still has a lot to learn, Justis is thankful to ANSEP for guiding her along the path to a college degree and career success as well as instilling the concept of teamwork in her mind at an early age. She says her first teamwork lesson at ANSEP has stuck with her to this day, and she truly believes that teamwork is the pathway to success.
"ANSEP taught me that working together is vital to becoming strong leaders in the engineering field," said Justis. "It allows us to put our minds together and release a flow of creative juices that will help us build the next generation for our state."
Thanks to generous support from the Association of Village Council Presidents, more students from the Yukon-Kuskowim Delta are being exposed to ANSEP's proven educational methods. AVCP joined ANSEP last year as a strategic partner. AVCP's three-year, $1.5 million grant is allowing ANSEP to expand its reach in the YK Delta and for more students from the area to arrive academically and socially prepared for college and their careers.

Christine RiceRead More
Palmer, Alaska
Christine Rice had reservations about attending ANSEP's Middle School Academy, but encouragement from her parents and middle school principal prompted Christine to overcome this fear and become an ANSEP student when she was in the sixth grade.
"I was hesitant at first because I would have to be away from my family, but it turned out great," she said.
Fast-forward to today – Christine just completed the 11th grade, makes good grades and is on track to attend college. Shortly after ANSEP Middle School Academy, Christine participated in two different STEM Career Exploration components and saw just how much of a difference ANSEP made in her education. She jumped at the chance to apply for ANSEP Acceleration High School in Palmer, where she could be an ANSEP student full time rather than just during the summer.
"Acceleration High School is my favorite ANSEP component, because you get to do ANSEP everyday," Christine said.
Not only is Christine making good grades in her high-school courses but, with the help of Acceleration High School, Christine already has six college credits under her belt.
"My grandpa was a state trooper then a detective for the Palmer Police Department. This inspired me to learn more about the science side of law enforcement," said Christine.
Christine knows what she wants and how to get there. After her senior year at ANSEP Acceleration High School, Christine plans to attend University of Alaska Anchorage to pursue a bachelor's degree in biology or chemistry. Her dreams don't stop there, though. She then plans to go on and earn a master's degree in forensics.
"Christine has shown her commitment and capability since she started with ANSEP more than five years ago, and we know she can go on to accomplish anything she sets her mind to," said ANSEP Regional Director Michael Ulroan.

Tyler TerwillignerRead More
Palmer, Alaska
Tyler Terwilligner really likes math. In fact, he loves it. A lot.
"At my old school, I went through seventh and eighth grade math in one quarter. I was bored before ANSEP," said Tyler. He attended ANSEP's STEM Career Exploration component during middle school, and his mom encouraged him to attend Acceleration High School in 2016 to continue honing his skills and putting his passion for math to good use.
"My favorite part about Acceleration High School is my peers. We're all working towards the same goals," said Tyler.
As a student at ANSEP Acceleration High School, Tyler is earning college credit. He is headed into ninth grade next year and already has 11 credits towards his college degree.
"I'm not sure exactly what degree I want yet, but I know some sort of engineering or computer science will be involved," said Tyler, who feels that he is currently surpassing his initial education goals. "I'm taking trigonometry next year, but I'm really looking forward to calculus."
When asked what keeps him working so hard, Tyler said that his mission to succeed paired with the excitement of starting college full time.
"I think I'd like to go to UAA and continue with the ANSEP program," he said.

Natalie YankovicRead More
Palmer, Alaska
Natalie Yankovic's experience with ANSEP taught her not to be afraid of the unknown. When her assistant principal at Palmer Junior Middle School encouraged her to apply for ANSEP's Middle School Academy, Natalie was nervous about the change.
"I was scared and thought ANSEP wasn't meant for me, but now it's taught me to take every opportunity that's presented to me," reflects Natalie.
Natalie, who will enter 10th grade this fall, embraces the chance to grow in her academic career. After participating in ANSEP Middle School Academy, she enrolled in STEM Careers Exploration and is now attending ANSEP's full-time Acceleration High School.
"When I got accepted into the STEM Career Exploration component, I was probably the happiest person in the world that day," said Natalie. In fact, Natalie is using skills she learned in her STEM Career Exploration experience to fix up her own personal drone over the summer.
When asked what the greatest obstacle was that she's had to overcome in her education career, Natalie didn't skip a beat – she jumped right into the story of a recent math debacle. "This past semester I had to go back and re-take a math class for Acceleration High School. I was determined to succeed! The whole semester I worked until my brain almost exploded," Natalie exclaimed. With that hard work, Natalie passed the course.
Natalie is excited about her future and looks forward to attending University of Alaska Anchorage in a couple of years. Her experience with ANSEP has equipped her with the passion and inspiration to continue learning and growing.
"Before I went to ANSEP, I never had thought of going to college. Now, I want to expand my range of knowledge and continue going to school," said Natalie.

Andrea MorenoRead More
Anchorage, Alaska
Andrea Moreno, a recent graduate from University of Alaska Anchorage, proudly holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and can't wait to give back to a community that has provided her with endless support.
"One of the greatest things I got from ANSEP was an extended family. It was a huge support system and someone was always there to answer my questions or just to talk to. If you ever had questions about getting from point A to point B, such as the path from high school to college for example, ANSEP was there to keep me on track and motivated," said Andrea.
Andrea was first introduced to ANSEP in 2009, through her algebra teacher. She completed one of ANSEP's introductory components, the computer build, which is an integral part ANSEP's linear model. After successfully completing the build, Andrea was hooked. She continued through the ANSEP pipeline, participating in Acceleration Academy, Summer Bridge and eventually University Success throughout her college career.
Her advice for ANSEP students who are still figuring out what they want to do professionally? "Make sure you're happy with what you're doing. Keep your life balanced and find something you are passionate about!"
Andrea is optimistic about her future as an engineer and is currently completing an internship with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, a connection she made early in her academic career with the help of ANSEP.
"ANSEP pointed me toward a STEM career, and since then it has opened so many doors. Once you get a degree in STEM, it's well worth the wait," said Andrea.

Jesstin PattersonRead More
Utqiagvik, Alaska
A recent University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate, Jesstin Patterson holds a bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering and is committed to making a difference in his community.
"There is a unique balancing act between Arctic cultures and the energy industry to ensure culture and subsistence lifestyles are available to future generations. With my Alaska heritage and engineering education, I'm willing to help see that happens," said Jesstin.
When Jesstin was finishing up his senior year of high school, a friend encouraged him to apply for ANSEP's Summer Bridge component.
"Fortunately, I received acceptance," Jesstin said. From there, Jesstin went on to participate in ANSEP's University Success component and complete internships with NANA WorleyParsons and the North Slope Borough. His internship work in the Gulf of Mexico on oil platforms inspired Jesstin to transfer from University of Alaska Anchorage to UAF to hone in on his specialty area – petroleum engineering.
"ANSEP was an integral part of my success here at UAF. Aside from the scholarship money, great friendships, work experience and free lunches, ANSEP provided me the opportunity to grow and mature into an individual prepared to strengthen the fabric of my community," Jesstin said.
ANSEP provided him with the support and tools he needed to complete his engineering degree, but his success can be attributed to Jesstin's consistent drive and dedication throughout his education and internships. He was even voted twice by his fellow ANSEP peers as "Most Determined," and he received the honor from astronaut Buzz Aldrin at the annual ANSEP Celebration in 2013.
"That meant a lot to me because my parents were there," Jesstin said.
As he enters Alaska's oil and gas industry full time, Jesstin remains determined to ensure that the communities where he grew up are protected while looking towards the future.
"Embrace this program, it works. By participating in ANSEP, the academic challenges of STEM are not as unattainable as one may think. It brought friendship, personal growth as well as the confidence I needed to succeed and complete my engineering degree," Jesstin said.

Baahii will enter his second year of Acceleration Academy this summer and is looking forward to reconnecting with his ANSEP friends from last summer as well as earning more college credits.
Konaa, a student at Anchorage's Dimond High School, will have a chance this summer to finish his minor in mathematics at University of Alaska Anchorage through ANSEP's Acceleration High School component. Baahii's credits ANSEP and his grandfather Mike Lestenkof for inspiring him to become an engineer.
When asked what advice they'd give to their youngest sibling Deya, both Baahii and Konaa reiterated the importance of staying focused.
"Stay focused on your classes," said Baahii.
"Don't forget how important this is and what a great opportunity ANSEP is," added Konnaa.
With the help of ANSEP and the constant support of their mother Desiree, the entire Tallman clan is headed toward successful careers. Baahii and Konaa both have plans to apply to Ivy League schools once they graduate from Dimond High School, and they hope their ANSEP education will give them what it takes to stand out in the crowd. No matter where they attend university, they know that they will be prepared both academically and socially thanks to their time spent with ANSEP on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus.

Kaitlyn TheonnesRead More
Nome, Alaska
"One of the biggest obstacles I've had to overcome in my education was moving to Nome," she said. "It really made it hard for me to stay on track with the classes I needed."
Because of the limited courses her school currently offers, Kaitlyn says she relies on ANSEP to further her education and stay on track to pursue a degree and career in STEM. With her high school graduation just around the corner, Kaitlyn says she is grateful for all the beneficial experiences ANSEP has afforded her.
"Science has not always been my best subject, but ANSEP helped me get interested and improve my skills in that area, so I like it better now. It's easier to like something once you understand how it works," Kaitlyn reflected. As she enters her fifth summer with ANSEP, she is eager to continue learning.
"Just because you go to ANSEP doesn't mean you have to be a science nerd, " Kaitlyn said. "You can be an ordinary kid, but ANSEP helps you become more well-rounded."
Thanks to her hard work as well as encouragement from ANSEP and her family, Kaitlyn has completed every component available to her since her first ANSEP middle school experience – Middle School Academy, STEM Career Exploration and Acceleration Academy. Now, at 16 years old, she is excited about her future and hopes to attend college in pursuit of a civil engineering or a chemical engineering degree.

Shoka Bell-All You Ever Need on Your Bike.
No matter if you are a bicycle lover, bicycle safety must always be considered as the priority of all; Especially when riding a bicycle at night, riders have to pay more attention to the different situation coming from diverse directions, but it is a bit hard to focus on everything while you need to do a lot of actions at the same time. Therefore, a good device may be a great helper. Here we have a brand new product, and it has a cute name- Shoka Bell. I would say it is A MUST for all the bicycle riders.
What is Shoka Bell? "Be heard, be seen, be secure, the ultimate bicycle bell." from the official page has described it pretty well. Shoka Bell is designed and made to be more effective. In universe, It keeps your bike safe with a theft alarm, avoids getting lost with navigation, and keeps track of your cycling habits. Actually, doing well on the basic things is simply the best for me.
Let's learn more about this nifty gadget, and how it make our ride even safer and more convenient. Basically, it features several advantages.
- Bell- It has eight sounds and can be controlled by an intuitive joystick. It even record your own message, and adjusts to ambient noise automatically and make sure you can be heard. What's more, creating custom ringtones is not impossible and you are able to download more sounds free through the app.
- Navigation- connect Shoka Bell to your smartphone and choose your destination. And thus, navigation helps you avoid step hills and dangerous intersections, see you friends nearby, use local cycling routes and get real-time warnings.
- Front Light- The eight-facing LEDs prevent other drivers or riders from hitting you and lowers the risks riding at night.
- Theft/ Motion Alert- No worries about someone moves or steals your bicycle, The clamp that attaches to your bars works as a motion sensor, detecting movement up to 250m away.
- 200 hour battery life.
- Others- You may download Shoka app for more practical utility. such as (1) automatically track your rides. (2) set routes. (3) download ringtones. (4) see where you parked. (5) monitor your progress. (6) earn points. Above all, there is one feature interests me quite a bit, the app works with iPad/iPhone and Android phones, and allows you to see your friend's favorite route, see who's riding nearby, and finally, build an integration with Instagram.
Shoka Bell is still fundraising on Kickstarter. There is no exact launch date or location for sure. However, I believe it will be a device that suits you down to the ground if you are a bicycle lover.

I urge you to simply desist from pushing your music taste, which I think can be best described as 'flannel'on your poor readers. Such flannel is best listened to alone I suggest preferably in the middle of a field in a force 8 gale to ensure that any 'flannel' leakage is not able to pollute the innocent auditory canals of the general public. I'm also going to politely suggest that the UN security council meets in session to see if there are any grounds for incarcarating your 'flannel' for auditory genecide and suggest that it is best made to stand at the internation war crimes tribunial in the Hague. I'm just off out to burn an effigy middle eastern style of your 'flannel' and suggest that myself and other avid readers of your tome for a lynch mob and hunt your 'flannel' down and stone it to death. Be gone devil child and done darken my cranial nerves again!!

That's a splendid piece by Ross Douthat in the New York Times. A lot of it is depressing, but not this bit:
For hope to resurface, we need specific issues and potential compromises to re-emerge.
That is something I have been mulling for a while now. How to get back from Twitter-gutter wars into reasonably civil public discussions and conversations about, you know, principles and ideas and specific proposals. Not "you're-a-racist-you're-a-filthy-commie", but "hey, we all want a tax system that's fair and not overly complicated, what specific proposals could we discuss that would allow us to make small improvements that we could build on?"
It's a challenge alright, but one I believe we need to meet if we want to get to a better place.

Eating Healthy in Paris {Gluten Free, Vegan Options}/
Paris may be known for their croissants and macarons, but there's a new healthy food scene going on offering choices for allergy sufferers and those who want to eat a little lighter. Oui, it's now possible to eat healthy in Paris!
Paris can be a wonderful place to indulge in fabulously rich and decadent food, but now it's also a place where people can eat a lighter, healthier meal. Macaron and croissant lovers, don't worry. There's still butter and chocolate everywhere, but now there's also gluten free and vegan food options for those who suffer from allergies or simply what a more nutritious meal while enjoying the City of Light.
When I lived in Paris, vegan and gluten free were not words I ever heard uttered. Ah the difference a few years can make. Not only are there now gluten free and vegan options in Paris, but there's also just more overall healthier options to be found when you simply want a lighter meal in Paris. Here are some of my recent discoveries, and others I discovered outside of healthy eating.
Where to Eat Healthy in Paris
Noglu is an organic and gluten free bakery in Paris. It now has three locations across the city, along with a spot in NYC. The sweets counter looks as tempting as any other in Paris, but all product are sans gluten. Some are even vegan. There's a cheery cafe on Rue de Grenelle to enjoy a vegan chocolate cake or something more substantial for lunch.
I enjoyed a delicious, fresh chicken and broccoli salad and my friend had a homemade quiche lorraine. In case you think we were being too virtuous, we ended our meal with the recommend gluten free carrot cake. Let me tell you, you'll miss nothing in that cake. It's divine and not suprisingly, a best seller.
Noglu does attract its share of Parisians, but in the afternoon, it's often filled with tourists who come in search of healthier fare.
Wild and the Moon
Wild and the Moon had the healthiest overall vibe going. It felt just like being home (for better or worse). People worked on their computers while sipping organic, cold-pressed juice and snacking on gluten free scones and raw veggie crackers.
Wild and the Moon uses no refined sugar, gmos, additives, soy, dairy or gluten. There's smoothies, soups, salads, snacks, and desserts. You can grab things yourself out of the fridge like raw peanut kelp noodles or cucumber avocado moon rolls, or try their house made kale crisps.
Shakespeare and Company Cafe
Yes, even Shakespeare is getting healthy in Paris. The cafe has a partnership with Bob's Bake Shop, who's been creating gluten free and vegan fare in Paris for several years now.
You'll find smoothies, chia pudding and rotating selections of warm bowls and quiches at The Shakespeare and Company Cafe. They even have kombucha, which I did see several places around Paris. If you're short on talk with your dining companion, they have conversation starters like favorite books or which superpower you'd most like to have (the power of flight of course!).
Cafe Pinson
Cafe Pinson is just around the corner from Wild and the Moon and a nice spot for more relaxing and catching up on email. They too have their share of healthy organic food, coffee, tea, juices, and snacks.
There are vegan vegetable based dishes that use a lot of spices and flavors like tamari and homemade vinaigrettes to toss with the latest seasonal produce. Or you can just grab some homemade matcha or coco energy balls to sample while sipping some tea.
Paris is definitely embracing the grain bowl as I saw it on many menus around town, sometimes with a protein, often with avocado, quinoa and seaweed. I was very happy to see seaweed on multiple menus.
La Guinguette D'Angele is an adorable gluten free, vegetarian cafe not far from the Louvre. Sadly it was closed when I visited, but it would make for a nice picnic in the nearby gardens of the Palais Royale.
A short walk from Republique is Chambelland, home to delicious baguettes and baked goods made without gluten.
Judy and the Good Life is just off the Luxembourg Gardens. It would make for a lovely Sunday brunching on paleo banana pancakes and acai bowls before an afternoon stroll through the gardens.
More Marais Healthy Options
The Nothern Marais is healthy food mecca in Paris. I used to live just down the street and I would have been in heaven with all of the new healthy options. Wild and the Moon and Cafe Pinson both have locations in the Marais, but there are several others to note.
Nanashi is just across the street from Cafe Pinson on Rue Charlot. Nanashi specializes in well-sourced ingredients, presented in bento boxes. There's meat, fish, and vegetarian options, along with edamame, miso soup, and spring rolls. The weekend bento boxes include smoked salmon and salad.
Le Stand is situated right in the Marche des Enfants Rouges. I love that open air market. It's a fun spot to meet people for brunch on the weekend. The crepe guy is also worth waiting for, but if you're looking for a delicious vegetarian meal, then check out Le Stand. A woman from Nanashi started this simple place and has been attracting big crowds.
Ob La Di is right next door to my former hang out Candelaria. When I was jonzing for some Mexican-ish tasting food, I would pop down to Candelaria for a taco. They also have a cool cocktail club in back, but I digress. Ob La Di is a tiny slip of a place right next door that's serving up delicious baked goods that are gluten free and some are vegan. You can get your coffee on as well, or dive into a vegetarian burger.
Health Inside is on Rue Charlot, almost at the entrance to Marche des Enfants Rouges. Yup, there's juice, veggies, fruit and vegetarian and vegan warm dishes. No sugar, dairy or gluten. If you want to go all in, you can do a juice cleanse with them and get in on their detox system.
Bob's Kitchen is one of the spots that started it all, and the partner I mentioned with Shakespeare and Company. Bob serves vegetarian and vegan fare. He has a juice bar and stand alone bake shop as well, serving natural, organic dishes.
Healthy, Organic, Natural Paris Grocery Stores
There's a decent collection of grocery stores in Paris selling organic and natural food products when you want to stock up on healthy supplies or make your own picnic.
Le Grand Epicerie, attached to Le Bon Marche, is the place to go for glitz and glamour with your healthy prepared foods and ingredients from around the world.
If you've got money to spend, they have it all. They also have partnerships with several juice companies and healthy proprietors in Paris, so you can have one stop shopping here. This is also a good time to mention avocado toast. It's everywhere. We're not the only ones in LA obsessed with overpriced bread and avocados. You can also spend 10 euros for it in Paris.
Bio c' Bon, Bien L'Epicerie, and Naturalia are all good healthy, organic food grocery store options in Paris. You can usually find dairy free coconut based options, as well as many gluten free grains and biodynamic ingredients.
And of course one of the best spots to shop for healthier ingredients is the multitude of farmer's markets that happen all across the city, every day of the week. Buy your own ingredients and head to any of the wonderful outdoor spots I discussed in my last post. Make your own picnic and enjoy the healthier side of Paris!

If everything goes well, an agreement on the takeover of Worcester Regional Airport by the Massachusetts Port Authority could be in place by December. It is an ambitious goal that City Manager Michael V. O�Brien and Massport CEO Thomas Kinton share, with support from Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray. �From what I�ve gathered, that date is doable,� Mr. Murray told me during a recent interview. �Rather than dragging out negotiations, we need a plan in a timely fashion that can be presented to the Massport board, the City Council and the community.�
A former mayor of Worcester, Tim Murray has been closely involved in efforts to make the takeover happen sooner rather than later. Both he and Mr. O�Brien have been encouraged by progress made during a high-level meeting at the airport recently, attended by Mr. Kinton, state Transportation Secretary James Aloisi and their staff.
Clearly, direct political influence played a major role in moving the issue to the front burner. While former Gov. Mitt Romney believed easy highway access to Boston, Providence and Hartford renders a commercial airport in Worcester obsolete, the Patrick administration made the viability of our regional airport a transportation priority. Secretary Aloisi, who at one time favored closing the airport, has recently been described by the city manager as �a positive and welcome� force behind plans to have Massport take control of the airport.
Financial details, including dollar figures, have yet to emerge. There has been talk about Worcester receiving �fair market value� for the facility, and both the city and Massport have engaged experts to determine what that value may be. There is an intricate web of assets, liabilities and obligations to untangle. Legal aspects need to be sorted out.
Local expectations should be realistic. If some city councilors think the �sale� of the airport is the answer to Worcester�s money problems, they should think again. Massport, which faces its own financial challenges, is hardly a cash cow.
The main advantage for Worcester is getting out of the aviation business. The takeover will relieve the city of paying its share of the annual operating deficit, about $1.5 million, and other ownership costs. Reimbursement from Massport might come in the form of installment payments in lieu of taxes. Economic development of airport land could generate additional benefits.
�There�s no big windfall here,� Mr. Murray told me. �But it�s not unreasonable that Massport could contribute to a PILOT arrangement, with regular payments. Being fair and reasonable is the key, along with economic development and job creation for the region.� He has insisted all along that Worcester should have a �seat at the table� when the airport changes hands. Both he and Mr. O�Brien talked about creating a new airport advisory commission to include representatives of neighboring communities.
However, the greatest advantage Massport�s takeover offers is the agency�s ability to make the investment necessary to improve and upgrade the facility. Under an agreement reached in January 2000, and extended several times, Massport has been operating the airport, as well as picking up the lion�s share of the expenses. Airport Director Andrew Davis is a Massport employee, as was his predecessor, Eric Waldron. Massport has poured nearly $15 million into running the place over the years, but it is prevented by law from making capital investments in an enterprise owned by some other entity.
Mr. Kinton, the first aviation professional to head Massport after a long string of political appointees, has been a strong supporter of the airport. �I want Massport to play a major role in Worcester,� he told me during an interview in 2007. �I want a solid relationship with the city for many years to come.�
Worcester has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on consultants to determine what to do with the airport and how to attract airlines. In addition, several federal and state surveys examined the potential of the 1,300-acre facility. Most of them recognized the airport as a key resource with the capacity to accommodate large numbers of travelers. All surveys concluded that Massport involvement and, if possible, ownership are essential for success.
A $400,000 master plan, funded by the Federal Aviation Administration and Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission, outlined growth scenarios through 2020, emphasizing a mix of general and corporate aviation, passenger traffic, and economic development of airport property. Even a low-growth scenario stressed the need for immediate and extensive capital spending on runway safety, security, navigational technology and building improvements. Even if up to 80 percent of the cost comes from federal and state sources, the city�s share would be in the millions.
Ownership will enable Massport, which also runs Boston�s Logan International Airport, to do what needs to be done. There is a winning formula at Massport-owned Hanscom Field in Bedford, where the agency has spent nearly $50 million on capital improvements. Named after former T&G reporter Lawrence J. Hanscom, the airfield serves the aviation needs of the region�s corporate, high-tech and educational enterprises. It provides more than 400 aviation-related jobs, nearly $10 million in state and local taxes, and has an overall $180-million annual economic impact on the community. Once Massport takes over Worcester Regional Airport, good things could happen here as well.
Robert Z. Nemeth�s column appears regularly in the Sunday Telegram.

Notes on a Profane Intersection of Politics and Pathos
By Louis Rene Beres
Human freedom is a continuous and indispensable theme in Judaism, but
that freedom can never countenance a "right" of national suicide.
Individually and collectively, there is always a firm Jewish obligation
to choose between "the blessing and the curse" - and always
an expectation to choose life. In the case of coming "disengagement,"
the Prime Minister's decision to surrender Jewish land to Israel's most
openly-genocidal enemies will inevitably distance the nation - perhaps
irretrievably - from survival. And if disengagement is permitted to happen,
Israel's consequent dismantling will be anything but tragic. Instead,
it will be the reductio ad absurdum of a government (more realistically,
of one unheroic Israeli government after another) that indefatigably poisons
itself. Israel, after Ariel Sharon's forcible deportation of Jews from
Gaza and parts of Samaria, awaits a tragic fate. Yet, the dramatic genre
portraying this unhappy and profane destiny is correctly described as
"pathos." Like the minimalist poetics of Samuel Beckett, the
entire play, however deeply meaningful, is also preposterous. While the
early Greeks certainly did not share the monotheistic Jewish understanding
of One God, the Greeks and the Jews did both subscribe to an idea that
all human beings and societies are obligated to ward off disaster as best
they can. "Free will." Saadia Gaon included freedom of will
among the central teachings of Judaism, and Maimonides affirmed that we
humans stand alone in the world, "...to know what is good and what
is evil, with none to prevent him from either doing good or evil."
Free will must always be oriented to life, to the blessing, never to the
curse. For Hellenes and Hebrews alike, the binding charge was to strive
in this mandated direction of self-preservation through intelligence and
through disciplined acts of will. In circumstances where such striving
was consciously rejected, the outcomes - no matter how catastrophic -
could never rise to the dignified level of tragedy. The ancient vision
of "High Tragedy," as it evolved from fifth century BCE Athens,
is always clear on one crucial point: The victim is one whom "the
gods kill for their sport, as wanton boys do flies." This wantonness,
this caprice, is what makes tragedy unendurable to human reason and sensibility.
With "disengagement" and the corollary release of still more
Arab terrorists, however, Israel's lamentations will be largely self-
inflicted. The drama, as it is now unfolding, is at best a disturbing
page from Beckett or Ionesco. There is no hint of a cathartic element
from Aeschylus, Sophocles or Euripides. At worst, Israel's tragic fate
is torn from the pages of irony and farce, a form of comedy that relies
principally on contrivances of plot and on inherently low levels of credibility.
In a farce, matters often end badly except for a last-minute rescue via
"deus ex machina." No such rescue awaits the continuously imperiled
State of Israel. Understood in Jewish terms, we should recall here the
words of Rabbi Yanai: "A man should never put himself in a place
of danger and say that a miracle will save him, lest there be no miracle...."
LOUIS RENE BERES (Ph.D., Princeton, 1971) is the author of many books and articles dealing with Israeli security issues and international law.

George W.

Sebastian and wife Catherine Wiggins moved to St. Francois Co., Missouri.He died in (don't remember if it was 1844 or 1846); Catherine lived much longer.They had a large family, many still reside in Missouri.My ggrandmother was their youngest, Latitia Lucinda b. 1870.

If you're a human being living on planet earth, chances are that you know what stress feels like. Stress sucks because it can lead to all kinds of other issues like insomnia, digestive disfunction, high blood pressure, depression...the list goes on and on. Luckily, one answer to all of the above is something that we humans also innately share: our breath.
This basic technique of 4-7-8 breathing is a favorite of the well respected Dr. Andrew Weil , and a staple in his teachings. I love it because it's so darn simple, quick and EFFECTIVE that even non believers (like my father) are instantly converted upon giving it a try. I call it my "mind bath" because afterward I always feel like I've just had a nice long soak. But what this breath cycle is actually doing, is triggering your brain to release calming neurotransmitters called GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) while introducing more oxygen and less disease-causing carbon dioxide. Unlike a bath, you can use this quick trick in an Uber, on an airplane or right before a meeting,
The more often you do it, the better you'll feel. GABA GABA do!!! So watch and learn how to make a difference to your health and happiness in just 76 seconds.
