ECA: "The Lifeblood of Public Diplomacy"
Public diplomacy relies on our country's greatest asset, the American people. -- Evan Ryan
By Francisca Acevedo, Work and Travel Program Assistant
On the morning of July 8, 2013, President Obama announced his intent to nominate six individuals to key Administration posts; of these six nominees, Evan Ryan was nominated as the Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs at the Department of State.
On July 30th, Assistant Secretary-designate Ryan's confirmation hearing took place before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. During Ryan's testimony, she highlighted how influential "people-to-people exchanges" are in advancing U.S. public diplomacy and foreign policy goals. Ryan told the committee that ECA engages 350,000 exchange participants who "get to see America first-hand," and stressed the role Americans play in teaching the participants' understanding of the United States.
"By linking Americans together with people from around the world, we can develop lasting relationships and partnerships that overcome political and cultural differences," she said.
Evan Ryan's message echoes CCI Greenheart's mission: to promote cultural understanding, academic development, environmental consciousness and world peace. CCI Greenheart's Summer Work Travel program is designed to provide international university students with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in American work life and culture. As a result of the exchange, employers benefit from working with employees of various backgrounds. This helps to bridge the gap between the United States and various countries that collaborate with CCI Greenheart.
If confirmed, Ryan hopes to expand ECA programs such as Youth Ambassadors and also hopes to continue expanding the Bureau's English language programs. As she states, her focus will be on creating "lasting people-to-people relationships that are the foundation of U.S. global engagement." In her opening statement, Ryan outlined four strategic directions for ECA:
- Ensuring ECA programs are aligned with foreign policy and are mutually reinforcing;
- Leveraging technology and new media to connect more people with America, such as virtual exchange opportunities;
- Investing in long-term relationships with exchange alumni to increase the overall impact of ECA's programs; and
- Increasing opportunities for Americans and impact on domestic communities.

China Customs Violations and How to Avoid Jail Time
But let's talk about the case involving the Canadians facing a long jail term. But before I discuss that case, I need to make very clear that the only facts I have about the case come from this one news article, which gives the following as factual background:
A B.C. husband and wife are facing 10 years to life imprisonment in China for allegedly under-reporting the value of wine they export to that country. And the Canadian government is under fire for not doing more to help them.
Chinese customs officials in Shanghai have charged John Chang, 62, and his wife Allison Lu with smuggling. Their trial is scheduled to begin May
Both have been under arrest since March 2016. Chang has been in jail since then. Lu was held until January, but was forced to surrender her passport and is barred from leaving China.
Their case is becoming a bit of a cause célèbre in Canada as "lawyers and politicians lining up behind the couple describe their detention as outrageous, excessive and a gross violation of personal liberty and security." The couple own Lulu Island Winery, which before the couple's arrest claimed its exports accounted "for almost 20 per cent of all Canadian wine exported to China." "The allegations are that 'a certain brand of ice wine in Canada' had been declared at around 10 Yuan a bottle (under $2 Cdn), when it was worth many times that amount."
Their case is viewed by many in Canada as a political one and calls are going out to get Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to intervene. One Canadian politician is quoted as saying "the Trudeau Liberals are mishandling the case by treating it as a consular issue, instead of a serious trade dispute." The Canadian lawyers for the couple have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Canadian government not "holding China customs to account." Interestingly, the lawyers also submitted a briefing paper to the Canadian government that "hints the couple became a target of Chinese wrath because they maintained their innocence" and further stating that "'many other foreign wineries…were similarly charged but released shortly after admitting to the under–reporting and paying…fines.' it says. Mr. Chang and Ms. Lu denied violating Chinese rules and were subsequently denied bail." The briefing paper also warned that the conviction rate in China for criminal offences is nearly 100 per cent.
We used to write fairly often about foreigners getting caught for China customs violations but we mostly stopped as the number of such incidents went into a precipitous decline as the world economy picked up and as foreigners (at least from the countries from which my firm's China lawyers get most of our clients — North and Latin America and Europe and Australia) seemed to realize it was not worth the risks to violate China's customs laws. But since Trump's election we have seen an uptick in China customs problems — at least for U.S. companies and it appears China is realizing anew that getting tough on customs violations is a good way to earn hard currenices. But in terms of how to avoid China customs problems, what we wrote back then holds true now and I will quote extensively from a 2013 post, entitled, China Customs Problem? Keep Your Mouth Shut!
I try hard not to be an ass, but sometimes it is impossible. The other day it was impossible.
Months ago, a company wrote me because it was having a problem with one of their employees. This employee had left the company and at that moment, the company realized it should have made this employee sign various trade secret agreements long ago. They came to me for some help and I essentially told them that they had left the barn door open and the horse had sprung free and now about all that we could do was try to get the horse back by using a lot of sugar. Well, I didn't really use such a stupid farm analogy, but you get the point.
At the end of their email, they mentioned that they were also being investigated by Chinese customs. To which I told them that they should stop right there and retain experienced professionals to assist them. I then regaled them with horror story after horror story of clients who had come to us after having cooperated with Chinese customs, only to have Chinese customs "turn" on them and threaten them with criminal actions, after having seen the documents. I stressed that they should treat any Chinese customs investigation as a criminal investigation and act accordingly. hey assured me that they would. I told them not to reveal anything to China customs as "anything can and would be used against them." They assured me that they would act accordingly.
Just got an email from them saying that they had spoken with China customs about their problems but they were confident everything will work out just fine. My response was somewhat along the lines of how I had just thrown a lit match into a can of gasoline but everything would be fine. Well, I didn't really use such a stupid car analogy, but you get the point. Anyway, I cannot reveal more because the matter is still ongoing, but I am a lot less optimistic than they are about how it will all get resolved. Maybe the can won't explode. Maybe.
So what is the point? The point is that no matter how warm and fuzzy you want to get with China customs, they have zero desire to get all warm and fuzzy with you. Their goal is to fine you as much as they can and then maybe just toss you in jail for good measure.Their goal is to make their quotas and you are their quota. I am not kidding. If China customs comes gunning for you, seek help and fast. Why the weird picture of Kim Jung Un? Two reasons. One, Kim Jung Un looks so warm and fuzzy but he isn't. Two, I just figured I needed to do something/anything out of the ordinary to get people to listen on this point.
For more on this, please check out and read China's Detention Of Foreigner For Alleged Customs Violation Should Be A Strong Warning
So what can you do to avoid a major China customs problem? The following is the bare minimum:
- Do not underreport or in any other way lie to China customs. China customs has gotten really good at discovering the truth and they — like pretty much everyone else — do not like those who try to dupe them. What always shocks me is not that the companies that come to us after having been caught were caught by China customs, but their shock at having gotten caught. Guess what, if your website says that you sell your widgets for USD$1850 and you declare them with China customs as being worth USD$450, you will get caught, and probably sooner rather than later. That is not to say that you might not have a basis for the widely different pricing as you might. In fact, our China customs lawyers have twice convinced China customs officials that the reason for the widely different pricing was that the product sold imported and sold into China was actually a stripped down version of what China customs saw on our clients' websites. But if you do not have any basis, you are in trouble. And guess what else: saying that everyone else does it or saying that your Chinese general manager told you to do it will not help you one bit. It actually will hurt you.
- If China customs seems to be coming after you, you must assume that China customs is indeed coming after you and the odds are good they are thinking about criminally prosecuting you. In other words, if China customs starts hinting that it questions something you did, they are talking to you to gather up evidence to proceed criminally. And at this point there are only two things you should do: shut your mouth and get a good lawyer.
- Oh, and if you did violate China customs laws, it oftentimes makes sense not to claim innocence because as the article about the winery couple implies, China goes much easier on those who confess and repent than on those who do not. But before you admit anything, get a lawyer because there are right ways to admit to things and wrong ways to admit to things.
Be careful out there.

Making the Move to Independent Living without Hesitation
The Maryland Masonic Homes, located in Cockeysville, is a home that Maryland Masons and their families can rely on being there when they need it most, and for Mrs. Betty Nelson, this was certainly the case. Not only did Mrs. Nelson grow up in the Hunt Valley Area, her grandfather used to work on the Bonnie Blink Farm before the Homes was built. Mrs. Nelson now resides in a beautiful one-bedroom Independent Living apartment which overlooks the grounds she knew so well. As has been heard by many, Mrs. Nelson states, "If I ever had to find a place to live, I knew I would come to Bonnie Blink."
Mrs. Nelson grew up in a family that was part of the Masonic Brotherhood, her father was a long standing Mason of the Mt. Moriah Lodge #116 and her mother was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. She and her late husband were also active members and she lights up when she recalls the good times shared at the many events with their group of friends. As part of the Boumi Motor Corps, one of many of these memories she holds so dear is riding on a motorcycle with her husband.
Being retired for over 14 years, Mrs. Nelson decided it was time to take the next step. Without even looking at another retirement community, she made the call to Bonnie Blink, visited and moved in without hesitation. The physical aspect of the move was daunting, but with the help of a dear friend, she was soon able to relax and enjoy her new home. She couldn't be happier with the staff and jokes that, "Everybody knows me even if I don't know them." She highly recommends Bonnie Blink to friends of hers and knows that whatever may come, it will always be home.

I'm seeing other men.
Or rather, I'm reading other men.
Yes, I have a new guilty pleasure. Daddy-blogs. Seriously, these men blog like mo-fos. Such a different perspective from mummy-bloggers, but so entertaining and abso-freakin' hilarious!
I've spent the better part of my Sticky-Baby-is-napping-therefore-I-finally-have-time-to-myself allotments today sussing out the best Dad blogs in the blogosphere. There are so many. And the ones I've come across so far are genius.
If you have time for a laugh-out-loud moment (and shouldn't we all?), check these doozies out:
The Daddy Complex - This David guy is brill. Cackled to myself like an old witch this arvo. Totally worth a read, in particular, in his right side bar, his How to hang out with your friends & their babies PDF file. I'm going to print it and frame it. And maybe send it out to all my kid-less friends. It's just too good.
Shit my kids ruined - Such a clever concept. People submit pics of stuff their kids have destroyed. Peed myself. I have a feeling I'll be contributing to this blog quite a bit in the near future. Can I take a photo of my boobs though? 'Cause Sticky Baby fo' shizzle ruined my tatas...
My own personal walking, talking Daddy-blog just came home from work, so it's time for me to b-log off. Just in closing though, he says the funniest stuff to Sticky Baby sometimes. I am particularly fond of the moments when things are getting gnarly (ie. Sticky Baby is losing his shit and screaming for no apparent reason), and Papadada chooses to address him as if he were a grown man. Something along the lines of...
Why are you being such an asshole? Stop being an asshole.
Cracks me up every time. So wrong.....yet so damn true.

This month we shine a light on new members Bruns Eco Village from the Byron Shire region.
Please tell us a little about the project committed to One Planet Living?
Bruns Eco Village is an inter-generational and multi-cultural community project that is designing a new way of living. The eco village is an integrated community providing affordable homes, which provides an alternative ownership model that allows people to invest and rent at the same time.
How do the One Planet Principles add value to your project?
The ten One Planet Principles provide an excellent framework and guiding structure for us in the creation of this new eco village. They will serve as a benchmark against which we can track our progress and re-align if we steer off course.
Why is this important to you?
We are aware that we only have one precious planet, which has finite resources and is made up of delicate eco systems that need to be cared for. We also collectively believe in creating positive change and building a post-capitalist world that includes and cares for everyone, particularly the vulnerable. We aspire to create a grassroots community that inspires others across Australia and across the world. We aim to produce a flagship example of a low impact community living that is possible to replicate.
How are you working with local community?
Our Village Development Program workshop series for community held in August will cover:
- Introduction to Eco Villages and Community Living
- Social Design and Invisible Structures
- Ecological Design
- Sustainable Livelihood and Economics
- Values and Ethics
How are you working with local government?
Byron Shire Council has partnered with Beyond Zero Emissions to create Zero Emissions Byron, an initiative that aims to transition Byron Shire to zero emissions by 2025. We are in conversation with Zero Emissions Byron with a view to contributing to this aim through the various sustainability initiatives that will be incorporated within Bruns Eco Village. We intend to work closely and transparently with Byron Shire Council throughout the entire process.

Members of La Familia cartel accused in the U.S. for drug trafficking
More than two dozen people were indicted for sending methamphetamine from Mexico to southern California
More than two dozen people were indicted for being part of an organization that shipped methamphetamine from Mexico to Southern California, authorities said Thursday.
Sixteen of the 27 people facing conspiracy charges related to drugs were arrested Thursday as part of an investigation that began 16 months ago. In case of being convicted, face a minimum sentence of ten years in prison, while those who are charged with other drug-related charges could receive up to life imprisonment.
The organization involving members of La Familia cartel, which operates primarily in the Mexican state of Michoacán, and members of two criminal organizations Latinas in Southern California, authorities said.
Methamphetamine was imported in liquid or unfinished and then was crystallized, a step called "frosting", the researchers said.
Jose Juan Garcia Barron, 33, of Ontario, controlled shipments by air, sea and land through the border between Mexico and the United States, said the feds.
The drug sold in the county of Los Angeles gang members or their associates, who gave a portion of the proceeds to the Mexican Mafia gang in exchange for protection, authorities said.

Yesterday, I explained how to peel a hard boiled egg without using your hands. I found a link on Pinterest that had a picture of a see-through egg (initially the link was broken but I just found a good link after our experiment was over).
Pour enough vinegar to cover a egg in a clear glass. Carefully add the raw egg. Wait 4 days. Rinse egg to get the excess shell/foam off. And this is what you get:
It's so neat to see inside of an egg! The texture of the egg is squishy, bouncy, and pretty fun. The yolk also still moves inside. I think it's pretty cool!
**Warning: this started out as a raw egg and sat out for 4 days (in vinegar), so if and when you handle it make sure to wash your hands and any surfaces it touches immediately.

Why are you calling it raw after it's been boiled? am I missing something.ReplyDelete
cute blog! :)Replies
The last experiment we did with a hard boiled egg. This experiment, we dropped the raw egg into the vinegar. Somehow I missed that I took out "raw" when I was editing the post pre-publication last night. I re-edited above to say raw. Thanks for stopping by.Delete

EASTENDERS viewers were left in hysterics tonight when Mick Carter managed to save the Queen Vic – but not before some chaos with his dog Lady Di.
The pub landlord and his family faced having to leave their beloved home in a matter of hours after struggling to come up with the money to keep it.
But after Mick found a ring Callum 'Halfway' Highway had been trying to give Whitney Dean – which he'd taken during the heist – he decided to get it valued by a pal.
Mick and wife Linda got the shock of their lives when the man came back and revealed the ring was a real diamond and platinum piece, and worth over £220,000.
As the couple shrieked with delight, Halfway initially contemplated about keeping the ring for himself, but then handed it over, saying "Save the Vic".
But as they celebrated, the ring dropped on the floor and soon found its way into the stomach of the family's beloved pooch, Lady Di.
After rushing to the pharmacy to buy supplies that would make the dog go to the loo asap, the family had to sit and wait for the stinky saviour to pop out.
The comedic scenes left viewers in stitches, with one writing on Twitter: "Trying to save the Vic is rapidly becoming a French farce – love it!" while another wrote: "TV gold, ring worth money, ring could save Queen Vic, dog eats ring..Brilliant twist! Haha!"
A third joked: "bulldog craps out a diamond ring and saves the Queen Vic at the seventh hour! Gotta be worth an NTA next year eh?"
Once a brave Shirley had pulled out the ring and washed it down, Mick convinced Fi Browning – who had the deeds to the pub – to take the piece of jewellery over the phone.
Then it was just a small matter of the whole Square celebrating the triumphant news, with the residents singing the 'Lambeth Walk' before starting a conga down the market.
One viewer said: "Look how much joy a dog pooping out a ring brought to Albert Square!"

Arkansas State seems to be effective against the bottom feeders and then gets crushed by elite teams. Toledo appears to be legitimate. See who we like in this matchup as our college football pick.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 26th at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio. This game can be seen on ESPN 3. According to 5Dimes, Toledo is a 7.5 point betting favorite and the total is listed at 58.5.
An Initial Impression
My initial thought is that the Arkansas State blowout win can't be taken seriously and Toledo's defense will hold the score down in a game with a high total. 7.5 points seems a questionable as a spread and the total appears on the college football odds.
Holding The Score Down
Simply put, Toledo will get the job done, but they're a weak offensive team.They defeated Iowa State in double overtime in their last game, 30-23. In this game, quarterback Phillip Ely managed just 138 yards passing on 11 for 28 with 1 TD and 1 INT.
He's a senior with senior smarts, but simply not a talented quarterback. He's a serviceable QB that will enable playmakers to make plays and the Toledo defense to take over as they did against Arkansas. If not for the double overtime, the score of this game would've been low. I don't see anything changing as Arkansas State hasn't met the likes of a defense such as Toledo's.
Corey Jones
It's difficult to believe, but not one player besides Corey Jones has more than 3 receptions on the Toledo Rockets. Obviously, when Ely does decide to air it out, Jones is his man and Jones has done a fantastic job, being the player that opposing defenses focus in on.
This is a guy that caught for 851 yards last season, therefore we know that he can play. Thus far this season, he's caught 12 ball for 115 yards and 1 TD. That's just where Toledo wants him to be at as they've only played 2 games and he's been very consistent. I look for him to take advantage of the Red Wolves defense. The Red Wolves want to turn this into a shootout, but that won't happen.
Arkansas State did play against a formidable opponent in the USC Trojans and had their heads handed to them, 55-6. They also played Missouri and came up short, 27-20. You can't say that they haven't played contenders, but losing isn't the answer and a more desirable schedule would be beneficial.
Don't Be Fooled
The Red Wolves are coming off of a 70-7 victory over Missouri State, therefore the statistics get thrown out. One player that the Rockets will need to look out for is wideout, J.D. McKissic.
McKissic had a 1000 yard season in his freshman year and as a senior, has gotten off to a nice consistent start with back to back 80 yard effort. Arkansas State has a more polished offense with great depth.I'm not questioning their offensive competence as they proved that they can compete with teams like Missouri. I just question the total in this game against a team that will bleed the clock down.Let's not double think this, take the Under as our college football pick.
College Football Pick: Under 58.5 at 5Dimes

Restaurants in Arrieta
El Marinero Restaurant
On my last trip to Lanzarote, while traveling the northern part of the island, we passed a small town called Arrieta, and we found this small restaurant located in its main street. They have a new chef and exquisite food, innovative and traditional at the same time, at a good price. The decoration is spectacular, they have a fish tank underneath our feet and it is really impressive. I recommend it to everyone that goes to Lanzarote.
Restaurants in Yaiza
El Diablo Restaurant
There are many natural phenomena in the island of Lanzarote. One of the most impressive ones is found inside the Timanfaya National Park. EL VULCAN GRILL is a natural barbecue improvised over a rock on top of an opening of with a depth of several meters where there is volcanic activity registered. This oven-grill was designed by César Manrique and it is really impressive to see how they place grills over this hole and to see how they cook all kinds of meats and fish, just like in a regular grill. There is no fire, but if you place your hand you can get burned or lose your eyelashes if you get your head too close. I got close, since I was curious, and you can see from the picture the heat that comes out. This barbecue is next to the restaurant Los Diablos and behind the buses that take you to a guided tour of the volcanoes. I recommend you to see this place after the volcano route. Greetings to all.
Restaurants in Yaiza
Sal Marina Playa Quemada
It is a calm and charming corner that has a terrace over the water. It is located in Quemada Beach, a fishermen town that is small and welcoming, with beaches made of black rock. They will surprise you with the different varieties of fish of the area, some delicious steamed cockles and "claclas", a type of mollusk similar to goose barnacles and limpets that only live in Lanzarote and Chile and taste like the sea, delicious. It is a special and calm corner where you can enjoy good food.
Restaurants in Puerto del Carmen
Mammacarla Restaurant
Restaurants in Teguise
Lagomar Restaurant
The Lagomar Restaurant-Museum (Lag-Omar, in fact) is found in the former home of Omar Sharif in the island of Lanzarote, a house that was designed for him by the local artist, César Manrique. There are many stories that surround this spectacular house (the say that Omar lost it in a game of poker), but the truth is that it is one of the most beautiful legacies of César Manrique in the island of Lanzarote, and there are quite a few of them. Today, the house is used for multiple purposes: as a museum, you are allowed to visit the rooms of one part of the house, and to admire the fascinating fusion with the volcano, where it is built. As a restaurant, in my personal opinion, it is one of the most charming corners of the island (although it is not cheap). It is also possible to have a drink in Lagomar, since it becomes a disco by night. You can also sleep there, since it also functions as a holiday cottage. Lagomar is found in the slope of the Nazaret volcano, south of the town of Teguise.
Restaurants in Playa Blanca
La Casa Roja
Following the advice of minube, we went to the Casa Roja Restaurant in Puerto Calero. When we got there we were quite satisfied with what we saw: it is a pleasant and welcoming place. They sat us in a table next to the Rubicón Marine, and we were immediately struck by the delicate and sinuous romanticism, complete with romantic music. The lighting, the atmosphere, the decoration and the excellent service made our night one of the most perfect ones my wife and I've had. I would like to mention the excellent (and I mean excellent) traditional dishes that the restaurant offers. My wife and I let ourselves be advised by the maitre, who was extremely professional, and we were very satisfied with the fish and the wine he offered us. I recommend this restaurant to those couples looking for something different and full of pure romanticism. But I must say that the prices are quite elevated. Anyway, I hope my review helps you when it comes to deciding where to go or when you are looking for something different. Don't forget to visit this restaurant in the Rubicón Marine, quality and taste, for people who appreciate things that are well done.
Restaurants in Yaiza
La Lapa (El Golfo) Restaurant
Potatoes, barnacles, and fish are surrounded by the delights of Lanzarote. This is a village with an energy that comes from being at the very end of Timanfaya Park, outside of all the bustle. This is a great little corner to get to know Lanzarote. The service was friendly and quick, the food, simple and rich. What more can you ask from a daytime restaurant?
Restaurants in Yaiza
La Bodega de Santiago Restaurant
The Bodega de Santiago is one of the most charming restaurants in Lanzarote, a recommended place for a special diner in the southern part of the island, in the town of Yaiza. The restaurant is located outside of town, in a traditional house that has been restored and it has a fantastic terrace. The service is very good and they have a good selection of local wines (pay special attention to the white local wines). I recommend the sirloin with apricot sauce.
Restaurants in Teguise
De Pasta
We spent a few days in Costa Teguise and discovered this little restaurant called De Pasta. The experience was good and it came at a reasonable price. They serve fresh pasta with various sauces that are very well-prepared, as well as original entrees. The service is friendly and attentive. Although the place is small it's still nice, with a few tables on the terrace and a visible kitchen. It's located in the seaside village. Special mention goes to the limoncello, which was just excellent.
Restaurants in Teguise
El Guachinche de Luis
El Guachinche de Luis is a restaurant located in the coast of Teguise (Lanzarote) in Avenida Islas Canarias, near the Maretas shopping mall. It has delicious breakfasts and you can order the lunch menu, 7.5 Euros, with a choice of appetizer, main dish, bread, dessert/coffee and water. They offer 100% homemade food. The kindness and service of Luis and his waitress is priceless.
Restaurants in Yaiza
Costa Azul Restaurant
It's in the area called El Golfo. It has a volcanic formation and there's a green lagoon. The restaurant is pretty much on the sea. You can dine on local fish and many other things. It's neither expensive nor cheap, somewhere in the middle. It's a cool place to eat while watching the sea. There's smoking permitted outdoors. I wouldn't mind going back.
Restaurants in Yaiza
Puro Gusto
We went as a family to this restaurant and didn't want to leave! I recommend it!! Excellent pizza with a thin base, as well as a wide variety of salads. It was exquisite and friendly. The desserts and coffee were very good. The best was the price! Excellent quality at an affordable price!
Restaurants in Yaiza
Bogavante Restaurant
The place was heavenly, the waiters are not nice, the fish was good but presented poor, no salad , 3 potatoes and not potato chips here. To eat the portion of one person and pay 45 euros without dessert or coffee . I won´t return.
Restaurants in Punta Mujeres
El Lago Restaurant
Restaurants in Teguise
Las Brasas
Among so many "touristy" places we finally found this little restaurant, which was very cozy and had just 6 tables, which really gave it a special charm. Everything there is grilled, meat and fish (fished fresh daily), and you can see them directly as they prepare it. It's a fantastic deal. We tasted marine mussels, shrimp croquettes and La Sama (a fish that they prepare AWESOMELY). It was a very good value for the money. I'll be going back, no doubt about it.

Mar Azul

Lago Verde Restaurant
Following the recommendations of Minube.es, I ate at this fresh fish restaurant. It was no frills, but very good quality. The terrace had great views of the ocean and was cloaked in a breeze. The service was very friendly and professional. The fish of the day was €32, enough for 2 people. Price/quality ratio was good.

The Roundhouse Poetry Slam is one of the finest slams the UK has to offer. This year the panel included some of the most respected names in spoken word: Kat Francois (Guess Radio), Dan Cockrill (Bang Said the Gun) and lingual contortionist David J (Random Acts, Channel 4). Having attended and reviewed Roundhouse slams previously we came to watch this year with trepidation, hoping that we hadn't overhyped the possibilities. Luckily we encountered a pool of potential and most importantly amidst that potential there were stars. Whilst some arrived on the scene with room to grow, others exploded on the scene fully formed and waiting to be discovered. As Poejazzi is all about showcasing and investing in the future of spoken word, we're going to talk about the people we would book in a heartbeat, the ones we think you should watch out for and why you'll fall in love with what they do. Here's our supergroup: the ones who won in our heads even if they didn't win the trophies:
Kareem Parkins Brown aka Kuaint is a member of the Young Barbican Poets and was also shortlisted in the Stanza Digital Slam earlier this year. On Wednesday his poem transformed the elderly into a "Grey Gang": a sector of society you should respect and fear. It was a breath of fresh air; defying categories people will find too easy to assign to him. He may be dealing with everyday topics but his deft, sensitive and hyper imaginative wordplay transcends the urban tag. The perfect combination of cool and clever minus the kind of linguistic geekery that goes completely over peoples' heads, Kuaint approached the slam final with a swagger and mature assurance that you have to experience in person to get the full impression of what he's capable of and how bright his future is.
The Next Who?: If Jay Electronica was a poet (he is of course in the eyes of many) Kuaint would be on his way to vying for his crown (and according to the Daily Mail he'd probably be too busy shooting clay pigeons in his tweeds to notice anyway)
David Cumming aka (who came 2nd place) is an up and coming actor/performance poet/comedian who has recently been working on a project at the National Theatre Studio under the tutelage of Poejazzi's very own Inua Ellams. However on Wednesday he appeared as his persona Cheryl Dole: the incarnation of Cheryl Cole's Geordie ghetto past. Every obscene rant against gender relations, society, government and dodgy nightlife encounters had the audience rooting for David's perfectly tuned characterisation of the everywoman people in ordinary circumstances love to hate. On a rerun of "Ibiza Uncovered" or on the 2am night bus Cheryl Dole might be the enemy, however, on Wednesday night she became the aggressive and righteous voice of reason. Gasp inducing, offensive and gloriously satisfying to watch; Cummings' characterisation has cult viewing written all over his acrylic nails.
The Next Who?: No one…Cheryl Dole is a one time deal. (not one of those one time only deals in the shop that's been closing down for 3 years, the real kind)
Having seen Jack previously at Camp Bestival we expected a high level of performance from one of the most unique and instantly likeable new poets on the scene. He didn't disappoint, because Jack knows his strengths, which seem to lie in his confessional style of relating his experiences with family, friends and most powerfully with grief. He explored this again in the slam final, weaving pathos and hilarity in a way that belies his years. Jack is a gifted story teller who understands how to deliver an intense emotional impact with the least amount of schmaltz. Expect to see much more from Jack (namely because we're going to make sure of it!…cue epic evil laugh)
The Next Who?: John Osborne
Very Honorable Mentions:
Laurie Bolger: The multiple slam winner and poetry editor for Camden Radio delivered super funny anecdote poems about ingesting persil and another about the perils of venturing to Shoreditch and abandoning your local pub. Great timing, straight talking, a woman after my own heart.
Katherine Deal: Katherine is simply lovely. Her work is full of hope and inspiration. She was emotive with a stillness that is rare and very intriguing and we look forward to seeing much more of her work and performances.
Finally check out Roundhouse Poetry Slam's 2012 winner Hibaq Osman and her sensitive exploration of losing a loved one as a young person.

Vietnamese Sandwiches Make Chieu Le a Millionaire
Asian Week, News Feature/Commentary, Gerrye Wong, Posted: Apr 18, 2006
The Le Family of San Jose is a prime example of hardworking Asian Americans that have built a successful, thriving restaurant and food service enterprise in just 25 short years. Lee's Sandwiches has become a household name in many communities, with the company owning over 22 shops today. Lee's Catering has 500 trucks delivering cooked food every day.
The story begins when Chieu Le, a third-year law student, decided that life under the communist regime in Vietnam, in 1979, was becoming too difficult. Le courageously escaped by boat to Malaysia. His wife, Yen, soon joined, and the following year, they emigrated to New Mexico.
In America, Chieu, not speaking any English, worked as a butcher, earning, what he says "was very good pay for an immigrant like me who was learning how to cut meat right on the job $8 an hour. I worked hard, doing overtime every day because I needed to support my wife and new son here in America."
Moving to San Jose in 1980, Chieu enrolled in San Jose High School's English as a Second Language (ESL) program. There, he noticed a Vietnamese-owned catering truck selling food to the students in the schoolyard, and got a job working for them. By the next year, with limited English, he went out to buy his own catering truck. He recalls, "The man didn't want to sell it to me because he saw I couldn't even speak English and obviously, looked very inexperienced and poor."
But with his wife at his side, and a determination to work hard, they forged ahead. Soon they were able to talk some companies into allowing their catering truck inside the company parking lots during employees break times. Yen laughed, saying, "My husband remembered what was popular, so we offered the same goods like Mexican burritos and tacos, Asian chow mein and egg rolls, and Vietnamese sandwiches. We would look for companies with large groups of employees, stay at each place 10-15 minutes when the employees took breakfast, lunch or dinner breaks, and move on to at least 10 companies three times a day."
In 1982, younger brother Henry Le bought another catering truck, and soon Lee Bros. Foodservices, Inc. was established. The family chose the name "Lee Bros." instead of "Le Bros." because it would be more easily understood in America. From these modest beginnings came the largest industrial catering company in Northern California.
I visited their 9th and Taylor Street warehouse in San Jose, during the post-lunch hours where a bustling parking lot full of trucks were being washed and prepared to go out with a new set of supplies bought from the Lee commissary warehouse. Lee's Catering now delivers food as far as Sacramento, Fresno, Monterey and Napa.
You could feel the sense of pride that both Yen and Chieu exude when they speak of the satisfactions they get knowing that their company helps some 500 catering truck owners get their start in America, much like how they started. Yen explained, "We know how hard it is for immigrant blue collar workers to find work or start a business, so we feel good that we can provide this opportunity for them to earn a living and become independent."
While Chieu and Yen were busy establishing the catering business, Chieu's father, Ba Le, didn't sit still either. When he saw that Chieu's first truck sat idle on the weekends, he decided to take the truck to downtown San Jose, where he parked and sold sandwiches to San Jose State students on Saturdays and Sundays. He was so successful that the local restaurants complained to the city about his selling from a truck. Undaunted, he bought a space at the very same 6th and Santa Clara Street location, and thus, the first Lee's Sandwich shop was born in 1983. Five years later, he moved to bigger quarters at King and Tully Road to establish the first full-service Lee's Sandwich Shop with expanded offerings.
Today, Ba Le, retired at 75, can look back with pride as he sees Lee's Sandwich Shops in Northern and Southern California, Chandler, Ariz. and Houston, Texas. All are owned by the families of Chieu's nine siblings and Yen's 13, making it a true multigenerational family operation. Chieu said his eldest son, Minh, had the vision to create a new type of sandwich shop that would be a mixture of an entertainment caf and Asian American cuisine. Unfortunately, Minh died in an auto accident in 2001, without seeing the fruition of his dream, but he would be proud to see that their shops have attracted patrons from the mainstream, who enjoy seeing the computer monitors suspended from the ceiling flashing special deals, colorful bilingual menus signs and even chances for a free meal based on order numbers given to customers.
This Lee's Sandwiches concept doesn't just serve traditional banh mi sandwiches (which, incidentally, are great to take on airplane rides in preference to airline food!). They offer traditional American sandwiches served on baguettes or croissants, and most popular is the Lee's Vietnamese iced coffee, espresso, Thai tea drinks, and a large selection of smoothies. In many of its newer locations, Lee's is a social experience, much like Starbucks, where customers come as early as 4:30 a.m. and stay as late as midnight.
Many stores have in-store computers where customers can check their e-mail or surf the Internet.
Lee's Sandwich Shops have become one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the West. That, combined with a commitment to the communities it serves, led to the Small Business Administration awarding Lee's Sandwiches the Regional Entrepreneurial Success Award. In 2003, Chieu Le was also recognized as the Business Person of the Year in Orange County.
Chieu and Yen say their advice for up-and-coming entrepreneurs is pretty basic.
"Hopefully you won't have to struggle as we had to do," said Chieu. We had to start from the very bottom and only through very hard, long days of work did we luckily become successful. We would tell you to go to school first and get your degree in whatever you feel happy doing. If it is a business you want, it isn't always easy to start afresh like we were forced to do. If possible, buy a franchise as the companies have the experience to teach you how to get started.
Yen added, "Now it is easier for young Vietnamese immigrants to get a start as there are many more of us here to help show them the way. When we first came, we had to learn on our own."
Just like they started, both Chieu and Yen continue to work together, teaching their son Jimmy, a recent San Jose State graduate in Management Information Systems, who has come into the business, and son, 18-year-old Jeffrey, is approaching graduation from Harker School. Yen is the full bookkeeper and Chieu oversees an operation that employs up to 100 in the catering department and 500 in the sandwich shops.
Ryan Hubris, a business associate, said the Les have given away so many Lee's sandwich products to organizations, nonprofit groups and schools, if laid side by side, they could probably run the length of California. They also established the Le Family Foundation, in memory of their late son, Minh.
Recently, along with friends and Southern California developers, Frank and Catherine Jao, the Les were honored at the new Learning Center of Coastline Community College for a $1 million contribution toward the college's first endowment campaign. The campus of Westminster's first community college was christened in its January grand opening as the Le-Jao Center.
Chieu has just reached 50, but he hesitated while his wife laughed when discussing retirement. She said, "He will always work. We live on a golf course and he has yet to learn to relax and play the game." Chieu admitted he enjoyed his work, and is excited about the future plans of Lee's Sandwiches International to spread Lee's Sandwiches to new communities through franchising.

It's All in the Family
To turn the success of the Le family's ventures into numbers, it's said that Lee Sandwiches baked more than 3 million baguettes in the year 2003 alone, a figure no doubt doubled by 2006. In 2003, they served more than 2 million cups of Lee's special Iced Coffee. The largest Lee's Sandwiches store, situated on the UC Irvine campus, is 8,300 square feet � about one-fifth the size of a football field.

Public Shakespeare Initiative
As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, William Shakespeare probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny. With uncanny insight, his plays shine a spotlight on the infantile psychology and unquenchable narcissism of demagogues—as well as the cynicism and opportunism of the various enablers and hangers-on who surround them.

lunch leftover
After my lunch today, I wanted to draw...I had about 20 minutes before I needed to get ready for my class, so I did a quick sketch of my bag, all crumpled up with the receipt stapled to it. I sketched it in pencil - just the outlines - and then using my rapidograph pen, did the ink drawing. I have to be careful with this paper though...The fibers catch the tip sometime and I know it's not good for the pen to be drawing on that kind of surface. I ran out of time, so I stashed all my stuff over on my desk including my bag and when recess time came along, I finished the drawing. Later, my fourth graders were using colored pencils on their henna designs, so I added the colored pencil. It was funny, they all thought I was just coloring in a book. When they realized I had actually drawn it, and that it was my arbys bag, they kept getting up a few at a time, as word spread around the room, and looking at the bag on my desk and then at my drawing. It was fun. I let a few of them look through the other drawings in my journal. I think it's great to let the students see me drawing once in a while. When I sit and work on something, the are interested in how I solve problems in my art and how I draw different things. They ask me questions...and they remember it, because often one or two will ask me about it later (like if its not finished). I've even had a few students bring in sketchbooks/journals to show me. Very cool!
