Zion, Berry Hill
Keith Guyler 1991
Zion Chapel (Primitive Methodist) was founded in 1846 and was enlarged in 1869. It was closed in 1991 and has been converted into a number of flats.
It is labelled on OS 1881 1:2,500 as "Zion Chapel (Primitive Methodist)". The Victoria County History series: A History of the County of Gloucester, Volume 5: Bledisloe Hundred, St Briavels Hundred, The Forest of Dean(1996), pp.396-404 (Forest of Dean - Nonconformity) refers to it as "Zion at Five Acres", stating that it was built in 1851 by a society previously established Joyford. This was, presumably, the society recorded as having registered a house at The Lonk (off Joyford Hill) for worship in 1846.
The Primitive Methodist magazine for December 1851 gives an account by George Grigg of Monmouth of the opening of Joyford Primitive Methodist chapel. Mr Grigg had preached at a camp meeting at Joyford on 11th August 1850 where "a very powerful unction from heaven rested on the preaching services and in the lovefeast at night the arm of the Lord was made bare." The society grew and Mr Thomas Webb Junior offered a site for a chapel. The foundation stone was laid by Rev Jenkyn on June 15th 1851. Although not complete, it was opened on Sept 7th. It seated 180 and cost £70 of which £18 had been raised.
Preachers at the opening services were Miss E Williams, Rev Wm Penn, Geo Grigg, T. Adams, Mr Clark and Mr E Mathews.

The picture above shows a beautiful suzani print from Donghia framed as art. I have loved this fabric for awhile, in fact it has been in my inspiration pile of fabrics! What not a better idea than to use it as art. I think this is a fabulous idea with a fabric you really love. I also think this is a nice way to add some impact to a space & a great way to bring some color into the space. This room is beautifully put together and this fabric is the perfect backdrop.

Big Data: Uncovering its transformative potential in Project Controls
Ever wondered how YouTube or Netflix manages to suggest videos and movies of your preferred style? Using big data! Big data analysis is considered the next big thing if it isn't a big thing already. A great number of companies are already using it. So, the question is: Can you use big data to improve your project performance? Yes, you can!
How to structure Cost Data using Breakdown Structures
Working as a project controller, you will very likely encounter long lists of commitments, actuals, and other cost data that need to be reported on a frequent basis. To ease the job of structuring the project data, breakdown structures prove to be the answer. They allow otherwise flat data to be viewed from many angles, serving the needs of the various stakeholders in the project, e.g. management, clients, and engineers.
How to use the right cost data for your area?
Is the labour rate of a welder the same in Sweden as it is in Brazil? Probably not, you would say. But how much does it differ? And what does that difference depend on? Is the labour rate the only thing you should take into account when choosing the right cost data or are there more factors to take into account? You would like to know what drives the differences in cost data when you're working on a project estimation in a different region. Find out by reading this blog.
How cost data impact the planning of your Engineering
Engineering is paramount during all phases of the project life cycle: initiation, planning and design, implementation and closure. In this article, we have a closer look at the design phase and explore how data can help you improve the efficiency of engineering during the design phase.
Cost data to maximize the use of renewable energy
Recent developments in the field of energy generation and distribution, as well as political trends, have had a noticeable impact on the energy generation market. The focal point for investments is steadily shifting towards the installation of renewable energy generation, despite private investors being cautious about taking the step. This development implies that a significant portion of new projects searches to exploit relatively new technologies.

|A "sketch" of my daughter
some paper cutout "sketch" compositions that happened on a whim, because my daughter, who previously was into pasting colour construction paper (which she called "You-will-cut-and-I-will-paste"), decided she was beyond this stage in her life and wanted to embellish this year's Valentine's cards by stamping instead.
But they were perhaps inspired in part by the beautiful "kirie" (cut paper) prints in our living and dining rooms, created by my wife's relative in Japan.

Great. Someone gave wingnuts a video game, and of course it's the one with with hot, gay, man on elf action. There's also potential for lesbian sex and, yes, boring old heterosexual shenanigans in the game, but somehow it doesn't seem like people are getting too worked up about those options.
They are, naturally, terrified that, in addition to shut-ins or gun-toting sociopaths, video games now have the potential to turn their kids into gays. Or, presumably, elves.
I will take just one moment to take issue with the characterization of the hijinks available in the game as "dirty 'gay' sex" by conservative freakout machine WorldNetDaily. Gay sex maybe, but dirty? Look, folks, I just so happen to know one hell of a lot about elves, having spent significant portions of my life poring over scholarly tomes devoted at least in part to elf culture and biology. And I can tell you this – if you had sex with an elf, gay or straight, it would be the cleanest, daintiest most dignified sex you had ever had. And also hot. That's just a fact.

Honda announced that the new Honda Civic for Europe has won the 51st international "red dot: best of the best" award for highest design quality. This is the second time Honda has won the top award after winning it with the Honda S2000 in 2001. The award ceremony will take place on June 26, 2006.
The red dot design award is one of the leading design competitions in the world, held annually by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany. An international jury selects the products of outstanding design quality in 11 categories which are not only related to car design but to product design in general.
The all-new Civic has won the "red dot: best of the best" award in the category of "Transportation." The jury acknowledged that its overall design "marks a revolution," recognizing the innovation as well as the appeal and the high quality of the Civic's design concept.
This year, 2,068 proposals from 41 countries were entered into the competition, and the "red dot: best of the best" for highest design quality has been given to only 36 products, while 485 products received the "red dot" quality label of design.
The Civic will become part of the exhibition for more than one year at the museum of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen. The museum displays one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary design worldwide, featuring more than 1,000 products in over 4,000 square metres. In addition, the Civic will appear in the related yearbook, which is considered a standard work in the design field and shows current trends in the industry.
The history of this competition began in 1955 when outstanding international product design was marked with a dot; its present name "red dot" was adopted in 1992, and the competition in its current style was established in 2000.

Heretics by G. K. Chesterton
One of Chesterton's earliest books, Heretics, is also one of his best. Overflowing with characteristic wit, incisiveness, and splendid gusto, here is Chesterton's razor-sharp analysis of the fallacies of modern thought as exemplified in the leading writers of the time. Nietzsche, Shaw, Yeats, Kipling, Ibsen, H.G. Wells and others, are all submitted to a ruthless Chestertonian examination. However, true to his character, Chesterton gives the antagonist his due, while allowing the reader to celebrate the real value of his work.

shapely ghosts---Sunday Scribblings
the ghosts are spiralling out of control.
although they take various shapes,
I see mostly octahedrons-
maybe the mathematician in me
cannot escape geometry.
cooling blood heats up in no time
as concrete shapes takes the place of everchanging ones.
what is there to fear?
the self, I think, but only for a moment.
my toes curl, and uncurl
as I let go of the geometrical ghosts-
out of sight, sending them hurtling to far away land.
"turning my back, I go back to cooking, slicing onions"
29 comments:
I love the spectral mathematics, the quick-released fear, and the slicing onions. Wonderful.
Still the tears flow.........ReplyDelete
From the onions maybe?
Fearing the self is a highly underrated fear I believe.ReplyDelete
Math and ghost?ReplyDelete
Both ethereal, in a way. Good connection there.
"the self, I think"ReplyDelete
yes, reminded me of a song by Paula Cole that goes:
"and it's me that it's my enemy, me who beats me up, me that makes the monsters, me who strikes my confidence"
It's well worth listening to :)
math and ghost--certainly not Casper the Friendly Ghost--I always equated math with the darkside, perhaps his brothers :)ReplyDelete
Poetic daydreaming while cooking...I love the way your mind works! Well done Gautami!ReplyDelete
Tami, a geometrical ghost to questioning self to slicing onions was really clever! Well done putting a moment of self doubt in poetry.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your post. I think you are right "the self" is the stem of our individual fears.ReplyDelete
I like thinking we have spirts around us perhaps to keep us safe.
I love teh play of tearing eyes that happen when slicing onions and the haunting fear! great post!ReplyDelete
The major part of the poem is about the intrusion of another world that struck me as quite horrific (in its mathematical way) and definitely created a feeling of uneasiness or fear.ReplyDelete
So that the intrusion of the mundane in the last line is pretty much a shock.
But tears (as in some comments)? I don't get them - only by possible inference from the onions.
self-induced ghosts are the worst kind, i think.ReplyDelete
love the ending
I love how you are able to combine the creative with the analytic math stuff. You're a rare talent, my friend.ReplyDelete
Well done. I like the lightness of it all.ReplyDelete
Isn't it amazing the curious images our minds can conjure up, and it takes but a step into reality to make them disappear.
good job!
Interesting take on fearless. Nice ending.ReplyDelete
I like the juxtaposition of the spectral and the mundaneReplyDelete
I feel the same way when writing, as I follow ghosts around and then go back to everyday tasks.ReplyDelete
fearing who we really are ... there is a ghost within ... hmmmmmmm!ReplyDelete
I love the ethereal lines at the beginning and the grounding with the onions at the end!ReplyDelete
I, too, loved the line, "the self, I think" -- and self-consciousness, too, that enemy of direct and honest action. I don't think I've come across a poem about math and onions before, although given the nature of onions, perhaps I should have hoped harder... Thanks for posting this!ReplyDelete
yes, true, so many of life's fears are overcome by simply plodding along, doing what we have to do in the security of daily tasks. I'll tell my kids that one way of coping with the great tragedies of life is to just pick up the broom and sweep. There is always sweeping left to do.ReplyDelete
Ghosts don't scare me, because my faith gives me strength.
my toes curl, and uncurlReplyDelete
I love that image!
This one made me smile. Onions will do that every time.ReplyDelete
loved this one here...gautami...very nice...ReplyDelete
*my toes curl, and uncurl
as I let go of the geometrical ghosts
very familiar...
Fear of the self is huge...it is our greatest stumbling block...ReplyDelete
you write well. Good abstract stuff! :)ReplyDelete
gautami :ReplyDelete
I loved your poem. You write well.
Following your comment on my blog I've written a post that you may be interested in. It contains several possible markets for your work.
Good lines, incredibly well-connected thoughts...ReplyDelete

GIVEN A CHOICE between an authorized or an unauthorized biography, book publishers invariably favor the proposal for the authorized version. After all, the reasoning goes, the authorized work will benefit from access to the subject, who probably would tell his associates not to cooperate with an unauthorized project. Besides, in the case of Lee Iacocca or Chuck Yeager, people want to read their story.
Yet controversial figures like J. Paul Getty, Jacqueline Onassis, or New York Parks Commissioner Robert Moses are not about to tell the entire truth about their lives, much less allow it to be published under their names. Very often, in any case, tycoons, celebrities, and politicians have little insight into how they achieved success. These two books on Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis prove that whether a book is authorized or not is largely irrelevant: what counts most is the quality of the writer and his determination to get at the truth.
While not strictly an authorized work, Ari, by British journalist Peter Evans, began that way, with Onassis enlisting him to write an official biography or autobiography. The account of Evans' first meeting with Onassis in January 1968 makes some of the most fascinating reading in the book:
"His eyes were hidden by the dark glasses which were his trademark, but I knew they would be alert, speculating, not without humor. He wore a conservative blue suit with a monogrammed white silk handkerchief in his top pocket. Only his hands surprised me. Dark and hard-looking, to the touch they were soft as a young girl's."
Until Onassis married Jacqueline Kennedy in October of that year, Evans continued to interview him in London and Paris -- drinking at Maxim's, strolling the streets late at night with a pretty girl from Madame Claude's call-girl stable, sometimes with John W. Meyer, Onassis' aide, or Alexander, Onassis' son, tagging along. Onassis instructed his friends and business associates to cooperate with Evans as well.
Before deciding not to go ahead with the project, Onassis saw Evans one last time in 1974. The next year, Onassis died, and Evans was free to write the book as he saw fit, with all the warts exposed. Yet the course had been set. He continued to rely on Onassis' version of many events without probing behind them.
When a man holds a mirror up to himself, it is not only self-serving, it can be confusing. Because the stories don't mesh with reality, they often don't make sense. Thus Evans' book refers to a 1954 Justice Department indictment of Onassis and quotes his public response -- without ever telling the reader what the indictment said. (Onassis allegedly had been violating a law that prohibited foreigners from owning American-made ships, on the grounds they might be used for trading with Communist countries. He paid a $7 million fine.)
Evans frequently mentions names and concepts without the elementary journalistic expedient of identifying them in the first reference. For example, while Meyer is mentioned repeatedly in the first pages of the book, it is not until page 17 that we learn he was Onassis' aide-de-camp. Evans' habit of making a point and then supporting it with a quotation enclosed in parentheses is distracting. IN CONTRAST, L.J. Davis, a contributing editor of Harper's magazine, has written a masterful biography of Onassis -- a breezy, engrossing and credible tale that rivals Dallas for sheer glitz.
Without ever having met his subject, Davis convincingly portrays him as a "brilliant adventurer" who yearned to be accepted yet relished being an outsider, who sought to control the people around him but didn't know how and who, in the end, saw those he loved most turn against him.
His only son, Alexander, began taping his calls with his father to show his mistress how Onassis taunted him: "Onassis warbling 'Singin'in the Rain' for five minutes, interrupting himself with mocking questions ('How's the weather on your end?') to which no answer was expected, then resuming his song, only to conclude his performance with a screaming tirade, demanding and demanding and demanding, while Alexander responded with helpless grunts and monosyllables, his face a mask of defeat." But Alexander's death in a plane accident devastated Onassis with remorse. He considered, then rejected, cryogenics -- placing his son's body in a sub-zero crypt for eternity.
His only other child, Christina, had a dizzying number of affairs while going through a string of marriages. She couldn't sleep without a servant in the room, changed her underwear several times a day but never brushed her teeth, blew up to weigh 200 pounds and was admitted to a London hospital suffering from an overdose of sleeping pills. In the end, she inherited her father's empire and managed his ships reasonably well.
Finally there was Jackie, the rapacious spender, who married Onassis under the umbrella of a contract spelling out financial arrangements in the event of a divorce, who spent $5,000 for messengers for letters she didn't care to mail, who 23 times took his Olympic Airways planes and helicopters out of service for her personal use, who bought clothes and never wore them, and who was roundly hated by Christina and Onassis' lover, Maria Callas.
Davis is weak in describing just how this uneducated, once-poor Greek, who "perspired freely in all seasons," managed to make upwards of $1 billion. Other books plow these furrows more deeply: Frank Brady's Onassis, the London Sunday Times Insight Team's Aristotle Onassis, or even The Fabulous Onassis, by Onassis' man Friday, Christian Cafarakis. But no matter. A biography can never be complete, nor should it be.
Davis makes up for this lapse by bringing Onassis' personal life into sharp focus, demonstrating that what matters is not whether a biography is authorized or unauthorized but whether the writer has the ability to grasp his subject.
Ronald Kessler, a reporter on leave from The Washington Post, is the author of "The Richest Man in the World: The Story of Adnan Khashoggi."

LONDON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--According to the latest research report released by Technavio, the global maple water market is predicted to reach over USD 994 million by 2020.
"Technavio estimates the global maple water market to grow dynamically during the forecast period, giving stiff competition to coconut water, which led the tree water market in 2015"
This report titled 'Global Maple Water Market 2016-2020' provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging trends. This market study also presents up to date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all geographical regions.
Request sample report: http://goo.gl/MPjgZ5
"The maple water market exhibits huge growth potential due to an increasing demand for organic and natural products among customers. Although high pricing might affect its sales, increased awareness of the health benefits on offer and its easy availability is anticipated to help this market register higher sales over the next four years," said Technavio's market research expert for non-alcoholic-beverages, Vijay Sarathi.
"Technavio estimates the global maple water market to grow dynamically during the forecast period, giving stiff competition to coconut water, which led the tree water market in 2015," added Vijay.
The Americas emerged as the largest producer and consumer of maple water in the world in 2015. Even though the region is majorly dominated by coconut water, which was valued at close to USD 972 million in 2015, the increasing popularity of new beverages among consumers is driving the maple water market in the Americas.
Some of the other driving forces behind the growth of the global maple water market are:
- Health benefits offered by maple water
- Changing consumer demographics
- Diverse utility of maple water
Health benefits offered by maple water
Maple water contains vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals. It has 46 bioactive nutrients that are unique to tree waters, including phytonutrients. These qualities boost immune health, aid the prevention of degenerative diseases, and also act as a prebiotic to improve digestion. These health benefits have increased maple water's popularity among consumers.
Maple water contains almost 16 times more potassium, 37 times more calcium, and 3.9 times more magnesium content than spring water. The high content of calcium in maple water provides sufficient nourishment to bones and helps treating osteoporosis. Maple water also helps in treating gastric ulcers and blood pressure problems. Furthermore, it is preferred by many athletes as a rehydrating drink over energy drinks such as Gatorade and coconut water. Thus, consumption of maple water is expected to soar over the next four years.
Changing consumer demographics
The past few years have witnessed a dramatic rise in the occurrence of health problems such as diabetes, digestive disorders, allergies, and obesity in the global population. It has resulted in the rise of health conscious consumers all over the globe. Healthy eating habits are predicted to propel the growth of the global maple water market during the forecast period. In 2015, 31% of the generation Z (less than 20 years) and 32% of the millennial population (18 to 34) were willing to pay more for sustainably sourced ingredients. These trends are anticipated to continue over the forecast period and support the growth of the global maple water until 2020.
Diverse utility of maple water
Our researchers also believe that customers are buying maple water not only due to nutritional benefits but also for its diverse utility. Maple water is popular among many restaurants in the US and Canada that use it as a flavoring agent in food. It is also used in the form of ice cubes for cocktails and as an ingredient for preparing marinades, soups, ice creams, and sorbets. These factors will propel the demand of maple water across the globe over the next four years.

From the Layman's Desk-7: Miracles–Islamic perspective in brief: Part 6
– Continued….
In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.
"And thou (Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw (a handful of dust in the Battle of Badr), but Allah threw."(Quran: 8:17)
Mujizah and Karamah are two broad categories of Miracles in Islam:
A miracle is broadly categorized as 'Mujizah' and 'Karamah', and as stated before, are actually the actions of Allah. In Islam, the phenomena that happen beyond the laws of causation are distinguished by their sources, that is at whose hands they are shown, as we shall see below:
1. The miracles wrought by Prophets and Messengers of Allah are called Mujizaat. The literal meaning of Mujizah is something that "incapacitates", i.e. it is derived from the word 'ijaaz' which means "inability"
2. The miracles or marvels attributed to Awliya-Allah are called "Karamah" or "Karamaat" which is a gift of Grace or a "token of honour". In English language the word is commonly termed as miracle. However, some orientalists do make a distinction by terming Mujizah as "Evidentiary Miracle" and Karamah as " non-evidentiary miracle, Marvel, etc". Generally, no Wali claims that he can work miracles and can make on attain whatever one wishes.
3. Those that happen through the disbelievers are called "Sihr" i.e. magic.
4. Those that happen at the hands of those whose sins are many (Fasiqs) are called "Istidraj" which proves the person to be an imposter and are a means to degrade and demote him gradually. The marvelous acts related to Shaddad, Nimrod and Pharaoh fall under divine deception. So also the extraordinary acts of Dajjal that are related from many ahadeeth (prophetic traditions) about the future events fall under Divine deception.
5. Those that happen in any community from people who are not Awliya-Allah (Friends of God) is called Firasat (say, Clairvoyance). However, if it is the effect of the light which Allah sets in the purified heart of the Awliya-Allah, Firasa is reckoned among the gifts and is accepted as evidence of holiness. The exalted position of the Awliya's "Firasat" is evident from the hadith: "Beware of the vision of the believer, for he sees with the light of Allah." The miracles of Hazrat Abu Sa'id Fazlullah ibn Abi'l Khayr mainly consisted of the powers of Firasa.
6. 'Kashf' or spiritual unveilings are the knowledge disclosed to the soul of the one who constantly remembers and worships Allah. Kashf consists, according to al-Sharif al-Jurjani's definition in his Kitab al-ta`rifat, in "apprehending beyond the veil of ordinary phenomena, whether by vision or experience, the meanings and realities that pertain to the unseen. It is a kind of intuitive knowledge or discovery that exemplifies Awliya-Allah whose ranks are raised by Allah with the affirmation. The reality of Kashf is established in Sacred Law and it refers to a hidden knowledge of a tremendous nature - what has also been called the "Secrets of Allah the Exalted." Kashf is reliable if it is in conformity with Islam. The vision seen while one is awake is Kashf and that seen in a dream is called Ru'ya. The purer and the cleaner the mirror of the mind is, the more correct and reliable is the Kashf and the Ru'ya. Prophet's dream are absolutely reliable, and most dreams of Awliya too are reliable since their 'baatins' (states of inner conditions) are polished like bright mirrors because of their obedience to prophets. Allah mentions in the Qur'an thus: "Allah has fulfilled the vision (ru'ya) for his Messenger in very truth" (48:27). The Prophet said: The vision or dream (al-ru'ya) is one-fortysixth part of prophecy.
7. The process of receiving the gift (karamah) for the saint is through ilham (inspiration). In addition to those mentioned above, the others are mubashshira (glad tidings from Allah), mushahada (mutual vision) or mukhataba (divine conversation).
Distinction between Mujizah and Karamah: Just a few points:
The holy Qur'an as well as the prophetic traditions are replete with the examples of Mujizaat worked by the Prophets and Messengers. The Holy Qur'an ratifies the miracles of Moses and Jesus, including the Virgin Birth of Jesus, amongst those of other prophets of Bani Isra'il. Since there are no disagreements regarding the Mujizaat, we won't delve into these.
We have mentioned before that the miracles worked by Messengers and Prophets of Allah are called Mujizaat and those worked by other than Prophets and Messengers, such as Awliya-Allah, are called Karamaat. In his celebrated Kashful Mahjoob (Unveiling of the Veiled), Hazrat Ali bin Uthman al-Hajwiri, who is also known as Data Ganj Baksh ® in the sub-continent of India and Pakistan, has dealt with this subject at length nearly a thousand years ago. To put it very succinctly, this is what he says: Mujizaat involve publicity since they affect others. Karamaat involve secrecy since they are peculiar to the person by whom they are performed. The doer of Mujizaat is quite sure that he has worked a miracle while the doer of Karamaat is not sure, whether he has really worked a miracle.
According to Hazrat Data Ganj Baksh ®, however, the quality of ijaaz (inimitability) is the same as in the other and not affected. He gives a classic example: When the infidels were putting Khubaib ® on the gallows in Makkah, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) who was with his Companions in the Masjid at Madinah Munawwara told them what was happening to Khubaib ®. Allah also lifted the veil from the eyes of Khubaib ® so that he saw the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) and greeted him (s). Allah caused the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) to hear that salutation so that he gave the answer, and He also caused Khubaib ® to hear that answer. Both were extraordinary acts but one was an example of Mujiza and the other, that of a Karaamat.
Data Ganj Baksh ® makes another important statement: There is no difference in absence in time and absence in space. For Khubaib ® the Karaamat was wrought when he was absent from the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) in space. The later days miracles were performed by those who were absent from the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) in time. Data Ganj Baksh ® says that this is a clear proof that a Karaamat cannot be in contradiction with 'ijaaz, i.e. the miracles performed by prophets. Karamaat are not established unless and until they testify to the truth of the one performing the mujizaat. Therefore, Karamaat are not given except to a pious believer who gives such testimony. The Muslim saints are witnesses to the truth of the mission of Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) and therefore, it is impossible that Karamaat may be worked by unbelievers because as the law of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) is permanent, so must the proof (hujjat) be also permanent. All Karamaat of a saint or Wali are the mujizaat of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam).
To continue Insha Allah….

I'm sorry for the apologists; you know who you are. You're the ones who, moments after the Sehwan blast, resorted to your false equivalence. You're the ones who can't even condemn mass murder without caveats and qualifications. You're the ones who will say 'yes murder is wrong, but so is dancing at shrines', or (even better) 'killing innocents is against Islam but so is what happens at Sehwan'. I'm sorry that your line of thinking is the first step towards enabling murder, that your opinions would be welcomed with a nod and a cadaver grin by Mullah Fazlullah and Abu-Bakr Baghdadi. I'm sorry that the words you speak are the air they breathe.
I'm sorry that you can quote scripture at will and yet have no understanding of the basic codes it preaches. I'm sorry that your righteousness trumps your humanity. I'm sorry that we share the same species.
It is in the shadow of our silence that evil thrives.
I'm sorry that we're on our own, that ultimately it is our own fault if we die at the hands of terrorists. I'm sorry that the management of Sehwan Sharif didn't provide for its own security as so many of us (perhaps rightly) believe it should have. I'm sorry that the government didn't have the will or foresight to instal walk-in gates or even a room where female devotees could be searched. I'm sorry that we spell sacrifice with the torn limbs of our children. I'm sorry for all our martyrs, uniformed and otherwise, whose deaths were meant to be wake-up calls and in whose honour we hit the snooze button, roll over and go back to bed time and again. I'm sorry that once again we will beat our chests, rinse the blood off our hands, and repeat.
I'm sorry for the state too, with all its talking heads, branches, departments and boxes within boxes. I'm sorry that the slaughter of citizens forces our Great Leaders to trot out their easily recycled statements of condolence. I'm sorry that they have to take time out from their busy schedules to visit the broken and bereaved, to walk among the blood and the filth in their designer shoes. I'm sorry that they have to breathe the same air as the rest of us. I'm sorry that despite disappeared bloggers and banned Valentine's Days we cannot stop the blood from flowing.
I'm sorry that the government can spend millions of rupees of our tax money on prime time ads proclaiming the innocence of the First Family (now 100pc Panama-free!) but cannot and will not spend even a portion of that money on prime time ads countering the terrorist narrative and teaching us serfs what to watch out for.
I'm sorry for the effort politicians have to put into their spin doctoring.
For Punjab's law minister Rana Sanaullah claiming that the Lahore protesters had themselves to blame — had they not been on the streets they would still be alive, wouldn't they? I'm sorry we don't have the insight and wisdom of PTI's Punjab MPA Dr Murad Raas, who linked the Lahore blast to a reference filed against Shahbaz Sharif. I'm sorry that both these shining stars of our political firmament are in good company, their views echoed and parroted by legions of loyal and unthinking followers. I'm sorry for them too; these sheep who kiss with such reverence the knife that slits their throats, who so love the blade that shears their skin.
I'm sorry for the living dead who shout of bias and conspiracy even as the remains of those slaughtered by monsters are thrown to the dogs.
I almost feel sorry for the terrorists who, broken backs and all, take such pains to claim responsibility and explain why they feel the need to slaughter the infidels who — in their eyes — comprise 99.99pc of Pakistan's population. I'm sorry that despite their best efforts so many of us still don't believe them, and probably never will.
But here's what I'm not sorry for, and here's what none of you should be sorry for either: for being loud and angry, for your outrage. Don't be sorry for speaking up when someone in your presence, their eyes wild and blazing, tries to tell you that black is white and up is down and that the victims themselves are to blame. Because it is in the shadow of our silence that evil thrives, it is through our acquiescence that the incompetent and venal find their ways to the corridors of power. And if you do still remain silent, after all the horror and pain and loss, then the only ones you should be sorry for are yourselves.

Anger is a raw emotion that drives humans and animals alike to be hostile and aggressive. In Greek mythology, Lyssa was the goddess who personified that emotion and she was volatile and destructive.
Some people, under Lyssa's influence, let fly an indignant tweet when they are angry. It is a bad idea for Lyssa is a notoriously bad advisor. She will compel you to make hasty pronouncements and bad decisions.
Anger like revenge, is an intricate dish that should simmer for some time and be consumed cold to be really gratifying.
A juvenile will tweet his anger, a grownup will hesitate, a president should not. The leader of a large organization should turn his tongue 7 times in his mouth before uttering anything. Saying something stupid is the role of the vice-president who can be conveniently disavowed when putting his boot in his mouth.
A leader shouldn't talk before carefully reflecting on what he is about to say. Once set free, a tweet is like a wild bird that will breed, multiply and could become a destructive flock.
It does not mean that he should not get angry, but he should never tweet his indignation. A smart man should learn to slowly digest his anger and use it later in some smart, constructive way. It has been said, "anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind." I believe that. A fast tongue is like a double-edged sword. It can cut both ways.
Insecurity and impotence are often the driving forces behind anger. Showing rage is like revealing your hand in a poker game. It is a sure way to lose.
Leaders should speak sparingly and carry a big Taser. When accusing and showing anger too many times, they become laughable comic characters that cannot be taken seriously.
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." – Mark Twain

One of the unexpected side effects of Obama world is that on certain things there´s a disconnect between Obama´s old mates and your run-of-the-mill political/media establishment. The recent controversy with the Harvard professor being belligerent to a cop who´d accused him of breaking into his own home reminded me of an episode of The Boondocks about snitching. Huey Freeman does a retrospective about black people being culturally inclined not to talk the police, with some clips of people shutting doors in the face of various cops. Then they cut to some white people talking about how much they luuuuuuuurve talking to the police, ¨I mean, why wouldn´t you talk to the police? I looooooove talking to the police!¨
The half of the American population that thinks like this reckons that this police officer should get the benefit of the doubt. Well, because he´s the police, and more than that, maybe he technically did everything by the book and rather than do what they would all do, which is smile and nod and laugh along, Professor Gates told him to go fuck himself. In fact, there´s a long history of this in American culture. In some quarters the LA Riots for instance were where ¨a certain part¨ of the population were insisting on their right to behave lawlessly, loot and attack police officers, not responding to an outrageous miscarriage of justice and the kind of mass policing that led to something like 1 in 3 black males being detained by the police in any two year period. The 60s riots were nothing to do with fighting racial prejudice but some shite like black nationalism or anti-white racism.
Now, if I´d been on a long trip and discover my door jammed, I´d be annoyed. I might, had I managed to break into my house and sat down, got a cup of tea, by the time a police officer summoned by my neighbours arrived, it´s possible I would see the funny side of it. I probably wouldn´t maintain my cool if the cop was treating the whole thing too seriously after that. More than that, maybe I wouldn´t find it as funny if I was from a ethnic background that has a history of persecution from the police, and if I was thinking ¨I bet my neighbours wouldn´t call the police if Mr and Mrs. Kennedy from across the road were breaking into their house.¨ And additionally, I imagine if the police were called, and did find Mr and Mrs. Kennedy sat in their house, relaxing after a long trip, they wouldn´t start throwing their weight around and demanding identification.
Now police have rules to follow, but there are following rules and following rules. Now, I would imagine upon entering a room that an easy way to identify a burglar is to see if he runs away from the police. If he´s sat around and making himself at home, he probably isn´t robbing the place. So, even if procedure is to get him out of the house, search him, check his ID and all the rest, if you´re basically aware, through your instincts as a law enforcer, that a robbery is not in progress, you do this in an apologetic way, if at all. ¨I´m sorry, I couldn´t check your ID, you know, just doing my job, sorry.¨ If he tells you to go to hell, you probably leave it. You certainly don´t arrest him.
Now a lot of us understand why this whole thing would have pissed Professor Gates off, and, because we don´t ¨looooooooooove talking to the police¨, think it´s appropriate for him to tell the police officer concerned to fuck off. Well, we might think it was a silly thing to do, but we´d understand, we´d be sympathetic and we´d reckon when the officer arrested him, it was an arsehole thing to do.
Not, in WASP world. In WASP world, everything the police does is fine. We should always be polite and helpful, because the police always have our best interests at heart, and are never just being over-officious tools. And, of course, if we do complain, and tell the police to get to fuck, they have every right to arrest us for being abusive.
To the rest of us, we wouldn´t expect to be arrested for calling a random member of the public a dick, especially if they were behaving like, well ... a dick... Not in WASP world, in WASP land, the police are sensitive creatures who need special treatment, in case their poor wittle ears catch the odd swear word.
And this is where Barack Obama comes in. Now, he´s sooooooo establishment in everything he does. So much so that he´s not been brave enough to pass anything since becoming president. But the difference with establishment African-Americans, like Obama and Gates, is that racial profiling is so prevalent that, unlike poverty, it can´t be avoided even by them. Like the right-wing Atlanticist MP Shahid Malik who got detained and searched for explosives at Dulles Airport. Hence the disconnect, Obama can´t help but instinctively answer that question, because he´s experienced it. No doubt so had Professor Gates prior to being confronted in his own home. Of course, at the time of writing the President of the United States had already apologised ... there are some lines even he isn´t allowed to cross.

Molloy. Malone Dies. The UnnamableBook - 1997
The first novel of Samuel Beckett's mordant and exhilarating midcentury trilogy introduces us to Molloy, who has been mysteriously incarcerated, and who subsequently escapes to go discover the whereabouts of his mother. In the latter part of this curious masterwork, a certain Jacques Moran is deputized by anonymous authorities to search for the aforementioned Molloy. In the trilogy's second novel, Malone, who might or might not be Molloy himself, addresses us with his ruminations while in the act of dying. The third novel consists of the fragmented monologue--delivered, like the monologues of the previous novels, in a mournful rhetoric that possesses the utmost splendor and beauty--of what might or might not be an armless and legless creature living in an urn outside an eating house. Taken together, these three novels represent the high-water mark of the literary movement we call Modernism. Within their linguistic terrain, where stories are taken up, broken off, and taken up again, where voices rise and crumble and are resurrected, we can discern the essential lineaments of our modern condition, and encounter an awesome vision, tragic yet always compelling and always mysteriously invigorating, of consciousness trapped and struggling inside the boundaries of nature.

This should be depressing: this trilogy of rambling, stream-of-consciousness meditations on madness, decrepitude, nihilism, and death. But it is not depressing. The details of often shocking, but we are not repulsed. Why? I think what Beckett has done here is cathartic: we read of another's pain, and are more ready to face our own. (It also helps to note that this is fiction; were it based on actual incidents, I don't think I could stand to read it.) This is not an entertaining or light read, but of course most people who pick up this book would be aware of that. ...And what are we to say about those two hundred-page paragraphs...?

There's a line from an audio book I listen to that I often quote. The reason is abundantly clear, especially after the Fort Hood Massacre. For if anyone hasn't a clue where I heard this from, it's from Barak Obama and it came right out of his mouth for it was his audio reading from Audacity of Hope. So many people are shocked and awed, as well as grossly disappointed in his handling of the Fort Hood Massacre, but given this was written in his autobiography, is it really a surprise? Frankly, I expected that kind of speech from this Muslim Manchurian Candidate and the attempt by the White House, the executive offices, and the media to white wash this making the terrorist the victim comes, again, expectantly.
I wanted to wait things out to see how things played before commenting on this horrible act of terrorism on our own troops. What is happening now with the blame being from traumatic stress disorder, though he's never been deployed, to American bigotry towards Muslim to, I kid you not from the mayor of one of our most violent cities, on our love of guns. Terrorism isn't going to be used as a cause though it's clear to anyone with a brain that functions that this was a planned terrorist attack on what turned out to be a soft target since the base had no weapons stored. This is the first disturbing fact about this assault. No guns, on the biggest military base in the world from the most powerful military with the most firepower in the world. You see, the base has a gun ban. I don't know about you, but having a military base without weapons makes as much sense as having a submarine with a screen door, or a warship with no ammo in her guns (like on the Cole), or a police force that can't arrest criminals like in San Fransisco if you're an illegal alien. After 9 months of BO, we've now been hit with terrorism, though it's not called that now, 3 times while after 911 with Bush, we weren't hit at all for 7 years+ after the attack. This isn't a surprise and if we don't wake up soon, it's only going to get worse.
First, take the statement of the tile as quoted from BO's book. With this kind of mentality in the White House, how often are we going to define the real danger: radical Islam? As he stalls the wars in Iraq (which is basically over, it's a matter of how to get the troops out of there without all hell breaking loose) and Afghanistan where the Taliban is making a come back while he chastise his commander, what strong stance is he going to take against those that murder in the name of Allah? Given all the apology tours that basically told these Muslim countries that support these animals and their cheers of "YES YES YES!" , it was Islamic code for "you have me in your pocket". It's clear anyone that murders and commits acts of terrorism against American Citizens aren't going to labeled as the Terrorist as they are, but will be protect as a victim of an oppressive American society. Just look at Napalitano's reactions in UAE. She's warming against any backlash against Muslims in the US. This tells two things. One, that they think Americans are like the Muslims and will seek blood. Two, that they are going to protect the terrorists and their supporters against anyone that are willing to fight back against this scrooge of society. BO isn't on your side if you're a target of these monsters.
Another sign that tells tales of our Muslim Manchurian Candidate. Take a look at the Islamic Blogs, especially one from New York, where 3 of the 911 hijackers worshipped and this animal was a frequent visitor, that praise this killer as a hero and how it's every Muslim's duty to kill as many of the troops, and Americans that support the war on terror, as possible. In fact, it states the only purpose a Muslim should join the military is for the express purpose to murdering the troops and anyone that doesn't, is a traitor and should be punished. How is this site even up? How is this not hate speech? How is this not a conspiracy to commit mass murder? Simple, it's because a Muslim said it. I can only imagine if a Christian, Jew, New Ager, name another religion, had said the same thing what Napolitano would be doing. In fact, let me go to a Muslim nation and commit the same act, I wonder the consequences will be? Some how, due process doesn't come to mind.
Now the media and the white house don't want us jumping to conclusions. That's not what he did when a racist professor made a fool out of him by concluding white cops act stupidly. Totally different when the abortion dr. Dillder was murdered. However, if an Islamic, with a FBI investigation going, Facebooks his intentions, spew Islamic hatred and propaganda to his Patience's and he wants us to believer there's no reason to believe this isn't terrorism. What reason is there to believe this ISN'T terrorism? Coming up with every liberal psychobabble to justify his action. Considering this man was a psychiatrist , someone tell me what they're teaching in our med schools. Makes me wonder who will be giving us care if BO's health care bill becomes law. Muslims that will indoctrinate us? Muslim that can kill us on the operating table or improper medication and just say oops? Seeing this man was a psychiatrist and a crazy one at that, it makes me wonder.
What should worry us most is if one nut job can do this much damage at a military base, what can a number of well organized psychopaths do at a school (which have no security), a mall (that have Rent a Cop I wouldn't trust to be able to take candy from a baby, much less a weapon from a terrorist), Bus stops (again, no security), or just in the streets in general? Let BO be clear, if we're attacked by the Muslims in our country, he will side with the Muslims. After all, DHS has told us as much as they're going to be sure there's no backlash against the Muslims. After all, the media was sure quick to cover this up. After all, BO was quick to come out and ask us not jump to (faulty?) conclusions. And it's clear from the mosque that this animal attended that such Muslim will be held in high regards and any Muslim that doesn't do likewise is an Apostate and deserving of execution. Given how we're not going to have any protection from our own government, does Obama's quote sound like rhetoric or the true face of the man behind the curtain?

If a conflict occurs between the united states and the Islamic World, I must take the side of the Muslims everytime.

Firefighting teams were dispatched on Saturday to the Hebrew-Arab bilingual school in Jerusalem after a fire broke out in the building. The blaze was located in the premises of the preschool. After extinguishing the fire, the firefighters found anti-Arab slogans including "Death to Arabs", "Kahane was right" and other phrases against Israeli-Arab coexistence nearby.
Firefighter Arik Abulof said that four firefighting teams arrived at the scene after receiving a report about a fire in the school building. "We spotted thick smoke inside the entire structure. After extinguishing the fire, (the firefighters) found graffiti outside a classroom." Abulof said that the slogans included: "No to assimilation", "There's no coexisting with cancer", and "Kahane was right."
Shaanan Street, lead singer of popular Israeli hip hop band Hadag Nahash, whose children goes to the school, expressed hope that "whoever did this act would be caught and pay for their actions."
Shuli Dichter, director of Hand in Hand, an Israeli organization that founded five bilingual schools in Israel, including the school in Jerusalem, said in response: "This is not the first act of harassment against the school and our establishment of civil partnership. Even if they manage to dirty the walls, they won't be able to destroy our project."
"In addition to a harsh condemnation and calls of support, we invite all of the Israeli public to join us in building civil partnership between Arabs and Jews in Israel. We will continue to develop our educational and social establishment in which 1,200 students learn every day, along with 200 teachers and thousands of family members of students who are involved," Dichter added.

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 bunch scallions, chopped, separated into whites and greens
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons xiaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine, can substitute dry sherry)
1/2 tablespoon + 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon grapeseed or other neutral oil
1-1/2 lb broccoli crowns, florets and stems, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed chile flakes (optional*)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
*By crushed chile flakes, I mean something more along the lines of what you'd buy in a bag at the Asian market (if you can find 'em!), not the ones you use for Italian dishes, etc.
In a medium bowl, mix the scallion whites, garlic, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, xiaoxing wine, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 tablespoon Kosher salt, and sesame oil. Add chicken and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/2 cup water and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the broccoli, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and chili flakes, if using. Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, adding a tablespoon or two of water, if needed, to prevent sticking. Transfer to a plate.
Add the chicken mixture to the hot pan or wok. Stir continuously until the chicken is brown and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add the oyster sauce, stir, then return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture (you may have to stir it up again before adding to the pan) and bring to a boil to thicken (add a couple more tablespoons of water to make a bit more sauce, if desired.) Remove from heat and toss in the chopped scallion greens.
Serve over jasmine rice.
I've remarked before that stir fries, as much as I love them, don't make it into my repertoire that often. This one firmly planted itself there tonight because ohhhhh myyyyy. I suppose I expected this to be a nice weeknight dish and all, but it just wowed me so far beyond that. Gingery, garlicky and spicy, with just a bit of tangy sweetness to cut through all the savory. It was perfect.
I must say, too, that this is fantastic with chile garlic sauce on top, if that's your thing, and you can also use it to cook into the dish in place of the chile flakes if it's what you have on hand. It works just as nicely.

When I left ReadWriteWeb at the end of 2009, somebody asked me, 'What is the most exciting tech startup that you saw during during the last year?'. My answer was a company that wasn't well known at the time – Faroo – that was creating a decentralized search engine in competition with Google. I was a tad early, as was Faroo. Now, decentralization is becoming more real thanks to blockchain technology. This is the big disruption of our time. The company that proved that decentralization was technically and commercially feasible was Skype, so I thought it was time to see what was happening today in the birthplace of Skype: Estonia. Let's see some Estonia fast facts:
- Estonia is #103 in global GDP rankings. As a launchpad for something global like Skype, Estonia is good, but nobody comes here for a big domestic market. Many Estonian entrepreneurs set up shop in other countries in order to accelerate global growth.
- Estonia is #39 in GDP per capita.
- Estonia is a eurozone country.
A bit earlier than Skype were the file-sharing services Napster and BitTorrent (and Kazaa also with Estonian roots). Skype was more technically complex and, the coming wave of blockchain systems is another order of magnitude more complex and will have even greater economic impact. Here is how we rank Estonia on the seven attributes for 'Alternative Fintech Capitals':
- Outsider status (excluded from mainstream global finance).
- Close to big markets. Alternative usually means a small home market, so fintech startups must be focused on global markets.
- Access to talent (combination of colleges and open to immigration and the sort of places where techies like to live).
- Friendly fintech regulation (without points 2 and 3, this would only create nameplate operations run by lawyers).
- Wired population (high-speed access to internet).
- Some interesting startups (ie evidence that the ground is fertile).
- Low-cost electricity. This seems an odd attribute, but when the primary cost of the bitcoin economy or cloud data centers is electricity, it does make sense.
Outsider status
Estonia is part of the eurozone, so not really an outsider.
Close to big markets
Yes (eurozone).
Access to talent
Big score here for Estonia, and the future looks bright thanks to a nationwide plan to teach programming in schools from the age of seven.
Friendly fintech regulation
Estonia is part of Europe, so doesn't have an independent fintech regulatory environment.
Wired population (high-speed internet)
Yes, one of the highest internet penetration rates in the world.
Some interesting startups (fertile ground)
This is where the Skype alumni story plays out with TransferWise as the big fintech success story. Another Estonian fintech is Fortumo. Other startup success stories with a Skype lineage include Pipedrive, Cloutex, Click & Grow, GrabCAD, Erply, and Lingvist.
Low-cost electricity
Estonia has nearly 90% energy independence thanks to shale oil (obviously a lot easier to achieve in such a small country).
The big innovation in Estonia relates to e-citizenship, or e-residency. This makes it as easy to do business with government through digital services as we do with private companies, such as signing documents, launching and managing companies, banking and file encryption. Government officials have to make an electronic declaration of financial interests to reduce the risk of corruption and increase transparency. This is what gives the country the e-Estonia nickname. You can see the details here.
Hopefully, representatives of other governments will make the trip to Estonia to study how to do this.

UK: NHS foundation trusts - guidance on director and governor interactions
Earlier this month Monitor published Director-governor interaction in NHS foundation trusts: A best practice guide for boards of directors: see here (pdf). As well as the best practice guidance, the guide briefly highlights some of the changes to the role of governors that will be made by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Monitor will publish an updated edition of its Code of Governance for NHS Foundation Trusts next year to reflect the changes being introduced by the 2012 Act including the duty imposed on governors to hold the non-executive directors individually and collectively to account for the performance of the board of directors (see section 151 and the accompanying explanatory notes). Section 152 specifies some of the duties owed by directors of foundation trusts and these are similar to those imposed on directors by the Companies Act 2006.

With Restaurant Week in full swing throughout the Hudson Valley, the enforcing officials of the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health have been spread throughout the area on different assignments to ensure the protection of the hungry citizens in the area.
It is an unspoken social implication that when you leave the friendly confines of your own kitchen and go out to eat, you are placing trust and confidence in the restaurant that you choose. The social contract in place states that if you choose to eat at an establishment, you should be allowed to feel comfortable and safe for your bodily well-being in that environment.
The expectation that a restaurant will uphold this agreement is something that we can take for granted because of the hard work of thousands of health inspectors across the country.
"The sanitarian staff works hard to ensure that the food offered at our food service establishments is as safe as possible," said Tanya Clark, Director of Environmental Health Services. "The safeguards that are established and maintained by our department help protect the public from food-borne illness."
According to Mrs. Clark, the department employs 12 health inspectors, or sanitarians, to cover approximately 1,300 food service operations that the government labels as existing, established businesses. In addition, the department also has to cover approximately 750 food service businesses that are classified as temporary standings.
With such a great amount of institutions to cover in a fixed, yet, strict amount of time, the inspectors are spread thin on multiple assignments. Like a group of officials working in the shadows, the inspectors have little time for burdens outside of their direct jurisdiction. Mrs. Clark, however, serves as a necessary and helpful bridge in relaying the detailed responsibilities that the workers experience.
The actual inspection process of food operations is a long one, since the health security of thousands of people requires a detailed, step-by-step procedure. To start, a determination is made whether the inspection is unquestioningly necessary. Necessity is based on factors such as time elapsed since the last inspection, overall inspection history, or a specific complaint made by an outside source. Depending on the circumstances, a recent history review may be completed to confirm the necessity of the inspection.
Following this preparation, a date and time is set between the food service institution and the department for the test to begin. During the inspection, a wide variety of topics are explored, including food sources, handling, storage, preparation, cooking, cooling, and reheating. There is plenty of paperwork to be filed and guidelines to be followed, but ultimately a lot of the responsibilities are based on the inspector's prior knowledge and experience to conduct the thoroughest investigation possible. "Inspections show a snapshot of the operation, but the inspector uses science, interpretation, communication, logic, and experience to determine the food's safety," Clark said.
If any major or minor issues arise, the inspector will bring these grievances to the owners of the establishment. With the authority that the position carries, it would be easy for the experienced sanitation officers to act as a damning judge, jury, and executioner for violations. More often then not, however, violations result in informal discussions, approved reviews by supervisors, and basic re-inspection protocol.
"We work with the operator to achieve voluntary compliance through education and procedural changes at the facility," Clark said. "Most violations are corrected in this manner."
Clark believes that this collaborative process is crucial for not only communication, but also education to prevent future penalties. In a finicky technicality, which may seem hard to believe, the health code does not require those who are making the food to become intimately familiar with the rules that the sanitarians are enforcing. Therefore, establishing good relationships with the potentially naïve operators is important in working towards solutions that work for both sides.
If the violations do persist, more formally strict action is enforced. The owner of the establishment in question is required to attend an informal hearing, followed by a formal one if deemed necessary. For each violation, the maximum penalty in New York State under the Sanitary Code is $2,000. In the most severe and rare cases (permanent power or water loss, sewage backup, etc.), the establishment is subject to shut down.
Many movie and television shows situate health inspectors in an antagonizing role, like an unpredictable barrier that our heroes have to overcome. Clark's comments on the day-to-day life of the job, however, tell a much different and comforting story for worried restaurant owners and patrons. "Food service operations generally operate on a predictable schedule and food volume," she said.
Despite this typical certainty in the workplace, there are still quite a few unexpected challenges that can make the job much more difficult for the inspectors. Random factors, such as illness breakouts, language barriers, and staff turnover, in previously educated restaurants can possibly jeopardize the entire safety process. While it's difficult to pinpoint when these uncertainties can occur, Clark said that the inspectors are particularly on alert during holidays and special events like Restaurant Week.
"Holidays or special events may entice the operator to prepare a food item not usually on the menu or increase the quantity of food prepared," Clark said. "This may overburden the ability of the restaurant's infrastructure to safely prepare a food item, possibly resulting in food-borne illness. Historically, the department has investigated several food-borne outbreaks that were the result of the preparation of a large amount of food or an unfamiliar menu item."
Serving as a barrier for the public against sickness and even more severe ailments, the work of a health inspector falls under the category of public service. They provide information to the unaware and protect them from the dangers of consumption uncertainty. It may be a position that few people think about when they go out to eat, but this kind of unconscious thinking is what the inspectors seem to want. The department wants to keep us safe, but not compromise the enjoyment of our meals as well.
"The job of a health inspector is never boring, as there are constant changes in the work environment," Clark said. "They have the knowledge that their work is creating a safer food product and reducing the incidence of food-borne illness."
All inspections are filed under public record in New York State databases. For information about the latest inspection for a specific facility, visit: http://pokjournal.nydatabases.com/database/nys-restaurant-inspections.


text: There's nothing like getting out on the water with a group of friends so John Norris hosted his two daughters Ashlan and Aubrey and their two friends Allison and Evelyn for a day of fishing the backcountry waters of Amelia Island. We left the dock promptly at 7:30am with just a light breeze and sunny skies to run up to Jolley River for a day of fishing. As a I mentioned to John, there's nothing special about the Jolley other than you see very little boat traffic - and I don't think we had a boat pass us all day, although one may have slipped by while we were fighting a fish! We anchored up at a small run out and it wasn't long before the girls were hooking up with fish. They started off with a "double" with one of the lady's fighting in a Ladyfish while another hooked up and brought a Flounder to the boat. All of the girls caught fish, with Croaker providing non-stop "bait stealing" action; some weren't so lucky as the girls got used to their ways and hooked up with a few. Excitement built when a Bonnethead shark swirled at the rear of the boat and sure enough found one of our live shrimp on a jig...and the fight was on! The lady's eventually boated a few of the shark, lost a few to break-offs, caught a couple of neat Stingray and then John wrapped it up with a nice Redfish. We made it back to the dock in time to beat the looming rainclouds and counted as another good "girls day out" on the water!

Will Taboo have a season two? Creators say no decision has been made but they haven't ruled it out
Spoiler alert! This article contains plot spoilers.
The final episode of Taboo's first season ended with the promise of a new life for Delaney and his surviving men, but whether we'll get the chance to see that new life still hangs in the balance.Love Island's Frankie 'says relationship with Samira was made bigger for TV'
The BBC said they have not yet made a decision over whether the series will return for a second season, but they have not ruled it out, according to Radio Times.
Sources said that disappointing ratings could affect whether we see Delaney return to our screens for round two.
The commissioning of a second series also depends on the lead actors' schedules and whether Hardy, Tom Hollander and Stephen Graham are free to commit to a second bout of blood, mud and gore.
Although the show has received largely positive reviews, the ratings fell by 1.5 million over the course of the eight episodes, according to overnight figures.
But there's still hope because writer Stephen Knight originally envisaged the show as a three season run and is keen to make more.
Before the first series aired writer Knight said: 'We think it has got a two and a three certainly, that's the plan, after that who knows? This series is eight parts – it's a lot of time.'
The BBC series, set in 1814, follows the story of James Delaney who returns to England after twelve years in Africa to collect his inheritance and becomes embroiled in a battle against the East India Trading Company.
With the first series leaving us with so many questions, we hope a second series comes a long to help clear up whether James is free to love again and whether he can ever return to England.
While we wait with bated breath, let's take a look at the explosive season finale:
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
The BBC and representatives for Stephen Knight have been contacted for comment.

I hung out with the family today and took some fun, Spring time pictures. It's funny how the girls are soooo much easier to take picture of than the boys. The girls just sit there and smile and stare into the camera. The boys run and move and will not look at me under any circumstances.
