"The Chiropractic Center holds food drive for St. Peter's Haven in Clifton"
Why Are We Doing This?
Food shortage is all around us, we just don't see it. It's here in New Jersey. And in Styertowne. Did you know that many local food banks and shelters, such as St. Peter's Haven, provide supplemental food to underprivileged families and individuals in the Clifton community?
They need your help to keep going.
How Bad is Hunger in Our Community?
At FeedingAmerica.org, you can see statistics about how little there is to eat for certain people. In Passaic County, we have a population of over 502,800. Of those, 12.3% don't have enough to eat. According to Feeding America, almost 62,000 people who live near us have "food insecurity."
Of those, 26,540 are children.
Besides the immediate physical effects of hunger, the overall negative impacts on those affected cannot be overlooked. The elderly are at risk for increased health issues including diabetes and other age-related illnesses. Children who are malnourished can suffer from irreversible conditions - from cognitive and physical impairments to poor academic achievement.
You Can Make a Difference Right Now
Don't think these statistics mean there's nothing that you can do! It's easy. Just bring us your food, and you'll make a true difference to people who live next to you in our community.
Recommended donations include:
- cereal
- peanut butter
- rice
- canned vegetables and fruit

Translucent Bags Are Trending Through 2019
Putting your life on display for the world to see is not for the faint of heart—unless of course, you're a fashion person today. Transparent bags have been all the rage this year, cropping up in a multitude of iterations (we all know and love the Staud style), proving that what's on the inside is just as important as the outside. Well, after turning to the spring 2019 runways, it's clear that the trend isn't going away anytime soon. In fact, we anticipate clear bags to sweep the style world even more as people realize just how fun and personal this trend really is.
While you could use the trend as a way to carefully curate what's inside your PVC bag, we're all about letting it all hang out, showing off the other accessories or trinkets you've got going on inside. Or, taking a cue from the oversize (old) Céline variety by placing an additional statement bag inside. Keep scrolling to scope transparent bags on the 2019 runways, then check out the bag styles the fashion elite are currently carrying to inspire you to try the trend once and for all.

Release Date: April 29, 2010
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The University at Buffalo Alumni Association is offering the UBAA Alumnae Scholarship, a scholarship for female students registered in any UB department or division, which was created by UB alumnae in 1941, but has not been awarded for a number of years.
"We are pleased to reintroduce the Alumnae Scholarship for many reasons," said Larry Zielinski, MBA '77 & BA '75, UBAA president. "It is important to recognize that this scholarship was created by women, for women, in the 1940s, which was a time when equal opportunity was unfortunately not the case. Having the ability to reintroduce it many decades later will not only aid current female students of UB, but honors the strong-minded women who established the award in the first place."
The UBAA Alumnae Scholarship is overseen by the UBAA Board of Directors' Development Committee, headed by Carol Gloff, BS '75. The award assists currently enrolled UB female students from any academic discipline who display evidence of, and interest in, engagement with the university both in the present and for the future. "Engagement is a very important criterion for the scholarship," Gloff said. "Our hope is that alumnae will continue to give back to the university in any number of ways not only as students, but also once they leave the university."
Scholarship applications are available on the UB Alumni website, at http://www.alumni.buffalo.edu/scholarship. The deadline to submit completed applications is June 30. Recipient(s) will be notified of the results by telephone, and recipient names will be posted on the alumni website by Oct. 31 each year.
The UBAA is a volunteer-led, international organization that provides support for, and services to, alumni. The organization strives to create and promote lifelong bonds with UB graduates, and works to inspire them to care about the past, present and future of the university. Together with alumni, UBAA supports UB as one of America's great public research universities. The UBAA encourages UB students and alumni to take pride in their college experience and pass that enthusiasm on to their children, prospective students, faculty, staff and community.

The new Suzuki GSX 250R is already released all over the country in the past year, and it is highly expected that the motorbike will be soon launched in India by the end of 2017. This new motorbike from Suzuki will replace the Gixxer SF as the bike is having too much in it to impress anyone. I must say the new Suzuki GSX 250R has got many upgrades in technology, so all those Gixxer 150 and SF owner must be aiming for this new Suzuki bike which comes features overloaded.
The new Suzuki GSX 250R will be the rival of the KTM RC 390 and the Yamaha R3. So it would be really head to head competition, as all the three motorcycle are power packed and has lots of interesting features in it. Let's not wait for more and let's have a look at the mechanism and exterior design of the bike.
Details about Suzuki GSX 250R:
So here below I am going to tell you about the GSX 250R motorbike which is soon going to rock the Indian motorbike company.
Mechanical specification of the new Suzuki GSX 250R:
The new Suzuki GSX 250R is expected to come with new engine mechanism as the company has revealed that they are trying their best to make this bike one of the best bike under 300CC in India. So the new Suzuki GSX 250R is having a twin cylinder 249cc oil cooled racing engine, the engine can easily produce a maximum power of 8000 rpm and a peak torque of 23.5 Nm. The power of this engine is enough to give you a top speed of approx 16 km/h. as this is a sports bike after all.
Coming to the suspensions and brakes of the Suzuki GSX 250R motorbike. This bike is having disc brakes on both the front and the rear wheel. In the front, the bike is expected to have 290 mm disc and in the rear 250 mm disc in India. Now talking about the suspensions of the bike, it has got telescopic fork suspension in the front and mono suspension in the rear wheel of the bike.
Not only the speed, the new Suzuki GSX 250R has done very good in the fuel efficiency of the bike. As you are getting 30-35 km/LTR. of mileage in the city road and some 40km/LTR. in the highway road. So the bike is not only focused on speed but it also gives a good mileage for Indian road.
The design of the Suzuki GSX 250R:
So in the above, I have given everything about the mechanical specification of the new Suzuki GSX 250R, but it is not enough to statisfy. In the end, the only thing that will make you feel WOW in the bike is the design. So here I am going to talk about the design of the new Suzuki GSX 250R.
In the front of the bike, it clearly looks like the GSX 1000 bike, but the new design headlight and new sporty windshield makes the bike looks sporty enough for the Indian road. Behind the wheel, you will find a newly designed sporty fuel tank and the bike has got full front fairing just like the KTM Dukes. Not only this, the bike has got a split seat which makes it more sporty and the digital meter console looks feature full.

Coming to the rear part of the bike, the new Suzuki GSX 250R got a newly design LED tail light and as the rear bike is naked, it looks wild just like the Yamaha R3. So overall looking, the new Suzuki GSX 250R looks more into sporty than into cruiser with all it's newly designed sporty alloy wheel and racy tailpiece.
Features of the new Suzuki GSX 250R:
It is all done with the mechanical specification and the exterior design of the new Suzuki GSX 250R, so now I am going to speak all about the amazing features that the new Suzuki GSX 250R is most probably coming to India.
- As the bike is more concentrated into sports bike, the bike has got disc brakes in both front and rear wheel.
- Just like all the bike in its segment, the Suzuki GSX 250R is also expected to come with the clip-on handlebars
- The bike comes with safety features like the ABS and many sensors.
- The Suzuki GSX 250R doesn't come with a carburetor, it comes with the Fuel Injection.
- The new digital meter console also gives you a reminder to change your engine oil when it is old. So there is no chance you will miss out changing the engine oil.
- In the meter console, you can also check out the real time fuel consumption which sounds very amazing.

So all these expected features in the new Suzuki GSX 250R has really made it breathe taking. This bike is going to make its rival feel low in the Indian road, I must say this bike is worth. So this is all the about the feature of the bike, now let's have a quick look at the expected price of the bike in India and also the release date.
Expected release date and Price of the Suzuki GSX 250R:
The new Suzuki GSX 250R is expected to get launched in the Indian market by the end of November 2017 with all the expected features that I have given above. This bike price is expected to begin from 2.5 lakhs to 2.9 lakhs for the higher e
If you compare the price of the bike with its rival, you will see that the new Suzuki GSX 250R is quite cheaper than the other rival bikes like KTM Duke 390, KTM RC 200 and Kawasaki Z250.

East Sussex Children Connect With The Countryside
East Sussex pupils joined 2,300 children from over 50 schools in Surrey and Sussex in Ardingly recently, to connect with the countryside and discover where their food comes from. Pupils visited The South of England Showground from East Sussex schools Barcombe CE Primary School, Blackboys CE Primary School, Burwash CE Primary School, Cuckmere House School, Fletching CE Primary School, Framfield CE Primary School, Grovelands Primary School, Hamsey Primary School, Harbour Primary School, Newick CE Primary School, Parkside CP School, Pells CE School, Plumpton Primary School, Polegate School, Robsack Wood Primary Academy, Sacred Heart School, Seaford Primary School, St John's CE Primary School, St Leonards CE Primary Academy, Stafford Junior School and Wivelsfield Primary School.
The South of England Agricultural Society is celebrating its 50th year of supporting farming, agriculture and the countryside in the South of England and has now welcomed 27,300 year 5 and 6 children to this annual event, which started 12 years ago.
Each year, more than 100 volunteers from the South of England Agricultural Society and over 50 organisations and exhibitors give their time and support for free to help youngsters connect with the countryside.
Four special zones include Livestock, where children met a range of farm animals, from Sussex Beef bulls to chickens; Horticulture and Food, where children learnt about healthy food, tasting local tomatoes and peppers and discovering how honey, sausages, bread and cheese are made; and two Wildlife and Recreation zones also offered important countryside topics, such as nature conservation, forestry and countryside sports such as fishing.
The Sheep Show, including sheep shearing, a Pony Club display, a Birds of Prey demonstration and countryside crafts, including making corn dollies, also delighted the children.
Caroline Garland, Deputy Head and Ruby Murphy, teacher at Polegate School said: "This is our first time at Connect with the Countryside and the fact that this is a free event is fantastic. Many of the children have never experienced anything like this before, coming from the outskirts of Eastbourne, and it's a great opportunity for them to learn about the countryside."
Said Maddie Bowers, teacher at Southway Junior School, Burgess Hill: "It's a lovely day; it's so nice that they can go around the zones and enjoy hands on activities."
Philippa Croucher, from Wisborough Green Primary School said: "I really like the concept of this day; it's so important for urban schools who don't usually have access to the countryside."
Said Tessa Courtney Bennett who teaches at Sacred Heart School in Hastings: "This is our first time here and we are loving it. We had a great time with the livestock and the children can't believe they are being encouraged to get up close and touch everything!"
Paul Harrington, who is a teacher at Carden Primary School, Brighton, said: "This is our third visit and we all love it. We are situated next to the countryside in Brighton but many of the children don't experience it. It's often their first encounter with rural life and I hope that some of them might consider some of these pursuits in the future. What I love most is when some of the children in my class, who are usually very cool and at the age where they are preparing themselves for secondary school, suddenly melt when they get here, and it really brings out their inner child."
The Reverend Mark Betson, chair of the Society's Education Committee, said, "This day is a fantastic opportunity for school children to become excited about what the countryside offers, from food to recreation and everything in between."
Its aims are to showcase agriculture and the countryside through annual shows and to serve the rural community by providing educational grants, awards, bursaries and scholarships for people involved in agriculture, horticulture and land based industries.

Trading outposts clearly favor barbarians. What about putting trading outposts of the other tribes on an equal level? At the other hand I'm wondering if it's sane that the barbarian trading outpost more or less turns warehouses into producing buildings.
Maybe it could also be interesting to make the trading outposts then even stronger? That would be helpful for the AI.

Grilled Chipotle Salmon with Pineapple Avocado Salsa
~serves 4, Paleo, dairy free, & gluten free
- 4 fillets of wild-caught salmon
- 3 teaspoons of chipotle seasoning
- 2 TBSP coconut palm sugar (or dark brown sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Pineapple Avocado Salsa
- 1 small pineapple or 1 large can of cubed pineapple (cut into smaller chunks)
- 2 ripe avocados, cut into small cubes
- ½ of a medium red onion, diced
- 4 TBSP lime juice, fresh or bottled
- 2 TBSP fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 medium to large jalapeno, finely diced (remove seeds and ribs if you don't like a lot of spice)
- 2 teaspoon pure honey
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
*Combine all salsa ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Prepare a tin foil "tray" for the salmon and slide it onto a flat cookie sheet. Mix the chipotle seasoning, palm sugar, salt, and pepper in a small dish. Place the fillets in the tin foil tray and evenly distribute the seasoning mixture on all four fillets. Once the grill has preheated (if your grill has a thermometer, preheat to 300℉), turn it to medium flames and slide the tin foil "tray" on to the grill. Close the grill lid and allow the salmon to cook for 12-15 minutes. When the salmon is fully cooked it should easily fall apart by slicing with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon as it will get dry and loose its flavor.
Slide the tin foil "tray" back onto your cookie sheet to transport the salmon. Serve the salmon with the pineapple avocado salsa on top or on the side.

St. Louis Trip
Mom had a conference in St. Louis this past week. Dad and Syd decided to go along, since Syd had never been before. We had a great time and found some really kid friendly stuff, that is also fun for adults.
On Thursday, while Mom was at some meetings, Dad and Syd went to the St. Louis Arch and the Mississippi River, which happened to be right across the street from our hotel. Here are some pics from their adventure.
These are from the Arch.
And these are from the Mississippi.
As a family we went to the St. Louis Zoo on Friday. It's an amazing zoo and is free to the public. You have to pay $11 for parking, but admission is free. They have a really good collection of animals, including three different types of penguins, which are Syds favorites. They also have a train and merry-go-round, which were a big hit as well. Here are some pics from our trip to the zoo.
Here is a young tiger cub we saw. He was very cute.
Here is Syd on the Merry-Go-Round.
And here are Dad and Syd in the Butterfly Exhibit.
Friday evening we went to the City Museum, which is a decieving title. Dad didn't want to go, being a person who doesn't really enjoy museums of any sort. But he was really happy he went after we got there. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I'll give it my best shot. It is this old, very large factory that they have converted into a chidlren's museum. Inside, they have a lot of different exhibits including a huge room set up for skateboarders, a huge room set up for gymnastics teams, and other hands on stuff. There is also a foodcourt. Outside, attached to the side of the building is this huge, very tall structure made out of iron, steel, and other metals that is a massive jungle gym for kids to run around and play on. I can't possibly do this justice with my description. You would have to see it to really understand how big and unique this is. Syd, on her own, climbed up to the top of one part that is even with the top of the building. Up there was a piece of a fire truck that she slid down to another level. There was also a whole airplane up at the top in another area. I have no idea how they get insurance on this thing since it's all metal and at first glance doesn't look safe at all. We just kept hoping that the engineers and welders that put it together knew what they were doing. The really cool part was that down at the bottom of this structure they had a bar and fire pits for the parents. So, we got pizza from the foodcourt, Zack got a couple of beers and we sat around the fire pit and watched Syd run and climb for hours. It was great.
Here is Syd in the skate boarding area, running up and down the ramps.
Here is Syd in the ball pit, which was at the base of the metal structure. There were actually two ball pits, one open to everyone and one for 6 and under. This is the 6 and under, because in the other one kids were trying to kill each other with the balls. We're not entirely sure where the parents of any of these kids were, but oh well.
And these are of Syd climbing around on the structure. You'll have to look close for her in a couple of them. I was using my phone camera, it was dusk, and with all the metal, good pics were hard to come by.

I think I've posted somewhere before about my participation in the TranslatorsCafe forum. The way it works is that you post a tricky word or term and ask for other translators' help in finding a translation for it. I really like it. It's a fun way to expand my vocabulary in unexpected ways and I often learn a lot from reading someone else's take on a term. It's fascinating to see how literal some folk are. I often wonder how they manage to create fluent english sentences with such strict adherence to the dictionary.
However. Business isn't always conducted in the most professional manner and I've been astonished by some of their antics. I've love to fill you in on who said what to who, but I'll leave that for another day. Today I want to focus on technicalities.
I thought it would be harder
While, from time to time, there is the odd genuine poser put forward, I've been surprised by easy most of the questions are. Even with no domain expertise, I can usually, after a few minutes research come up with a reasonable stab at a translation. After that it's a question of detailed nuance that depends on the specific context. I thought it would be harder. So, while others are posting terms like, 'faire évoluer un dossier', I'm wrestling with sentences such as:
Un arrêt du 9 novembre 1998 invalide des délégations cumulatives au motif que les compétences des délégataires sont inadaptées et que leur autorité est insuffisante en raison même du caractère cumulatif des délégations consenties pour la réalisation d'un "même travail".
I'd like to see what they make of that!
P.S. I never did manage to translate it. I had to ask the author to explain it to me.
P.P.S. I have no idea what the Figure shows. I just thought it might make me look more intelligent!

It offers 2 Physical Cores (2 Logical), initially clocked at 3.6GHz, which may go up to 3.8GHz and 1MB of L2 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Core and Virtualization are activated and the processor has the clock multiplier unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked easily.
The processor integrates weak Graphics called Radeon HD 7540D, with 192 Shader Processing Units, clocked at 760MHz, which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.
Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 65W.
It offers average performance. This means it will become a bottleneck in some demanding applications.

I'm currently using this cpu, my athlon hasnt arrived yet, and mine is clocked to 4.4ghz, with my gpu i can run battlefield 3 on ultra with a steady 40 fps, aswell as other games on high- ultra settings, i cant wait to see what my new CPU will perform if this one does okay-ish in games :D
BTW Dont buy this cpu…..
It's funny >.< i have this cpu and it's the same effinency xD and its costs just 22 usd >.< and my vga have the same effinency like this integrated gpu an it's costs 22 too xD why amd make these cpu so low ? o.O
Hello i have this CPU but i have an question, works good with win7 64Bits
(4GB RAM) and integrate GPU?
(late reply, but) 8 gb is recommended and if you use the apu instead of a graphics card, be sure the ram is clocked at a high frequency
i have this cpu i just ordered a a10 5800k i recommend you save up an extra 50$ and get something in the a8 or a10 series this isnt a future proof dual core and it bottle necks your hardware big time
I blew my I5 :/ it says medium to high on Titanfall, is this a good idea for gaming? I won't have dedicated graphics though so will be using the 7540D integrated?
for budget gaming, go for a quad core apu (a8 or a10) and use fast ram.
So guys, i want to build a pc with this apu. 4GB ram no dedicated gpu. so, is this snappy with windows 7. Like for watching 1080p video. and browsing the web at the same time?
Hey Guys,can i build a rig with this,2 DDR3 1866 RAM,7200RPM HDD and a dvd drive with only 230 Watts?Will it (rig) Crash?(i Usually Play moderate to demanding games and sometimes video editing).
I'm sorry to say this but please don't spend your money on a cheap PSU as you'll regret it. I know it will cost more but if you save up you can get a good one. I'd recommend to any computer that they have a min of 450w though. For a gaming PC i'd say around 550-700w though.
That was quick,Should 450w be enough?the thing is im building a total of 40 rigs for my school and they have a very strict budget.thx for the fast reply
Damn that is a lot of stuff. If you can link me to all the stuff in the rig's I can have a look at what power you may need. Will there be a dedicated GPU? if you are using just a MOBO, CDROM, HDD, CPU etc then you might get away with a low PSU
no dedicated GPU.

CDROM http://www.lg.com/us/data-storage/lg-GH24NS90
HDD Seagate 160GB 7200RPM 3,5 inch
Sorry for the late reply. I did a PC power test online roughly and it come to around 194W recommend. The min was around 160W so there is a good chance you could run a pc off a low PSU :D
nice,thanks buddy
DON'T as in DO NOT get a cheap PSU. Make sure it's at least decent quality, as a bad PSU could potentially blow up the rig…
I paid the price for paying £22 ($35) Don't DO IT

Regional ACE Webinar: Define Your Story, Define Your Destiny
"What do you do?" It's one of the most common questions we're asked. But few of us have a great answer. Too often, we respond with a job title and company name—which usually doesn't reveal much. There is, however, a better option—and it's based on understanding what people really want to know. In this session, personal branding and communication expert Anthony Juliano will talk about new ways of thinking of your story so that it cuts through the clutter, resonates with your audience, and allows you to accelerate your progress toward your goals. In addition, you'll learn how you can help students discover and tell their stories in ways that accelerate their progress toward their goals.…

New data published today (04 June 2018) shows that six Cambridge colleges admitted less than 10 black students in the last five years, whilst some admitted none at all in some years. The university has called for parents and schools to help boost the numbers of ethnic minority applicants. Responding to the data, Sandra Kerr OBE, Race Equality Director at Business in the Community, said:
Although this report shows that Cambridge is making progress in admitting BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) students, there is still work to be done. Attending an elite university can often be a stepping stone into prestigious careers, so it's vital we ensure BAME applicants are being given a fair chance to access these institutions and increase diversity at every level of society.
Download the Let's Talk About Race pocket guide to help start fresh, constructive conversations about race within the workplace
I would encourage Cambridge and all other universities to involve BAME employees in the selection process where possible and to provide unconscious bias training to all staff involved in these processes. Universities should also set targets for BAME student representation and monitor the selection process to identify and tackle areas where BAME students are disproportionately dropping out. Finally, they should engage with schools with diverse potential candidates, including providing comprehensive pre-application guidance so young people understand what is expected and giving feedback to unsuccessful candidates to help develop their skills further. These actions will ensure that young people from all ethnic backgrounds have an equal chance to succeed.

Every great race needs a pacesetter, and for the Proudfoot Corner, that's often Shirley Cheek.
Donors to the Corner — our department's effort to help give to the Star's Santa Claus Fund — are recognized in our pages, with thanks. And many years, Shirley's name was the first to ring out.
One season, as former Toronto Star sports columnist Dave Perkins told it, she "started it off" with a $200 donation. Another year, Perkins wrote, Shirley again "got the ball rolling." And in 2009, she fittingly "threw out the first pitch for the Corner" in memory of her husband, the great Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek, who died in 2005.
Shirley is this year's first donor of the season. Her $350 adds to the more than $1 million our readers and members of the sporting community have generously given since Jim Proudfoot spearheaded our department's efforts under the name Sportsman's Corner.
The fund was renamed for Proudfoot, who wrote for the Star for nearly 50 years, after he died in 2001. Perkins took over Proudfoot's efforts, and we are proud to carry on this important tradition. Each donation to the Corner will help fund 45,000 gift boxes, each containing a cozy hat, mittens, socks and warm shirt, as well as a book, toy and that most welcome of holiday-time treats — candy.
After Tom's death, many Star readers donated in his memory, honouring "the voice of summer." That year alone, more than 30 donations were made in his name, totalling more than $4,500.
And while this Oct. 9 may have marked the 10th anniversary of his death — on a day when the Toronto Blue Jays faced the Texas Rangers in Game 2 of the American League Divisional Series — Tom was still very much on people's minds, even earning a shoutout from U.S. broadcaster Bob Costas.
"Tom, he's really never been forgotten," Shirley said from her home in Florida. "I understand that soon he'll just be a name up on the wall of excellence and younger people are going to say, 'Well, yeah, we know he's up on the wall,' but it's nice that so many people thought about Tom (during the playoffs)."
And he would have loved the Blue Jays' playoff run this year.
"He would have been just so excited for the Blue Jays," she said. "I just know he would have been because he kind of wore them on his sleeve. He always called the game in fairness, he called it like it was, but you knew he was really a Blue Jay through and through."
On the Corner: Welcome back — we've missed you. This week is for getting caught up: The following donations arrived a bit too late last year for their deserved recognition in these pages, but we're fixing that now.
Many family and friends remembered Angeline Bezic, who sadly left us last year during the holiday season. There was $50 from Mary and Mima Mateljan, $200 from Neda, Vesna and Franceska Bezic, and $100 from Margaret Rich, all Oakville dwellers. From Toronto, there was $100 from Douglas Haw and $20 from Stjepan Grgic. Tim and Sandy Milakovic from Mississauga also pitched in $50, and an additional $250 came in memory of Angeline from real estate developers Bratty's LLP. All told, that's a generous $770 from the lives she touched.
George Ruggiero from Etobicoke, who grew up reading Jim Proudfoot and Milt Dunnell, enjoyed Kevin McGran's Proudfoot Corner article last year, wherein Kevin curated a list of scintillating quotes from "Chester," as we affectionately called Proudfoot. George remembered some Star sports bon mots for his part in a note accompanying his $100 donation. Here's one from Jim on the '70s Leafs: "The Maple Leaf executive box of Harold Ballard, King Clancy and Jim Gregory looked force fed with pickles when Red Kelly decided to put the forward line of Bob Nelly, George Ferguson and Eddie Shack out for a critical power play in the third period . . . "
Titan of Canadian equestrianism Tom Gayford sent in a customary $100 from placid Stouffville. Tom was a gold medallist in 1959 at the Pan American Games in '59, and was three-time high-jumping champion at the New York International Horse Show, to select just two of his many accolades.
"The Morning Boys" from Toronto's Cambridge Club are back with another $100. Also of Toronto, John P. Newediuk topped us up again with $250, saying "Jim would be proud to know that many children will awake on Christmas morning with smiles on their faces." Still from Toronto, an anonymous donor helped us out with $50. And we have a big thank you and hello for Laurie Starkman of Toronto, who wonderfully remembers his brother, loved and much-missed Star amateur sports scribe Randy Starkman, with $500.
Another Star relation, Jim's cousin Stu Proudfoot, sent us $50 all the way from North Vancouver. Also remembering Jim Proudfoot in addition to Jim Hunt is Ken Kozicki of Etobicoke with a cool $100. Still media-wise, the kitty also benefited from veteran Canadian sports reporter Larry Millson's $200.
Contributing much-appreciated $100s were Michael Shook of Brampton in honour of his grandchildren, Glenn Duncan of Scarborough, and Susan Dunn of Oakville in memory of Cody, "our Golden Boy."
Last but not least, perennial giver Neil Finlayson sent us $200 from Scarborough in memory of his father Kenneth Finlayson. Now that we're up to speed, let's keep it up!

BANANA & BROWN SUGAR RIPPLE with ROASTED PECANS
Preheat over to 375 to roast pecans.
Toss 1/3 c. pecan halves in 1 tsp. superfine sugar and scatter over a baking sheet. Roast 4-5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool and coarsely chop.
Spoon 1 lb. plus 10 oz. good quality Greek-style yogurt into a large bowl.
Sprinkle 3 Tbsp. dark brown sugar evenly over top and let stand for 5 minutes or until sugar begins to melt, and then fold it very lightly into the yogurt to create a rippled effect.
Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas, then divide between four pretty dessert glasses. Carefully spoon the yogurt over the bananas, taking care to retain the rippled effect.
Top with a scattering of the roasted pecans and serve immediately.

It is no matter, who is saying such sentences, but to be a grown up phenomenon, it catalyze more and more responsibility. Especially important happenings may not be covered. Unfortunately, the hard facts can lead to further risk - as strong risk as long the silence is.

(I also added a "My Faves" and the mint love letters at Babbo are to die for, but I digress). For those of you in compliance at large organizations, I strongly recommend the FCPA Blog - this is a great place to get timely commentary on corruption, FCPA violations, compliance and more.
I mention it because today they recognized the work of Dan Newcomb and Philip Urofsky, who publish the FCPA Digest - a great resource for people interested in recent trends and patterns in the enforcement of the FCPA.
On the shameless plug side of things, I'm very pleased to provide a venue for Dan and Philip to present on The FCPA Year in Review: How Recent Investigations and Prosecutions Will Impact Compliance Programs, as part of EthicsPoint's ongoing webinar series. Click here to register!
We've put a big focus this year on hosting relevant, interesting webinars - partnering with experts such as Dan and Philip to share their knowledge, advice and experiences. If there is a topic you'd like to see covered, please let me know.

The ancient syllable Om is the shortest mantra (phrase) commonly used in meditation.
Repeating the sound Om in a quiet environment can help us to feel calm and relaxed, enabling us to de-stress and find deep inner resources with which to to ease life's problems.
Legend tells us that Om is the planets primordial vibration from which the entire universe has arisen. All other sounds are contained within it.
Om is sometimes referred to as 'the mother of all languages and in fact is contained in every phrase that we speak: try opening your mouth and see what sound comes out – now close it gently and continue making a sound. You've just said 'om', or more correctly 'aum'! The speech between opening and closing your mouth is the 'life'* of the sound. Read on to see what I mean.
Om in Sanskrit (an ancient Indian literary language not spoken much today) shows that it is made up of 3 sounds A, U, M and a symbol representing resonance. So "OM" has four aspects.
Th first is A, a sound that comes from the belly, is formed in the open throat, as we open our mouths. I think of this as the 'birth' of the sound. As with many alphabets, the sound A is the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet.
The second aspect is the U ('oo' as in 'look'), a sound that is formed in the middle of the mouth. The mouth is not as wide as it is for sounding the A. I think of this as the life* of the sound.
With the third sound, M, the mouth closes and I see this as the 'death' of the sound. However, the sound continues even after the mouth is closed and rises to the nasal passages, from where the resonance, the fourth aspect of "OM" happens. I see this as that time when the soul drifts away from the body. So in one simple sound, I see the whole of our lives represented, from birth to death.
Another interpretation, not mine this time, says that A represents the waking state. U the dream state and M the state of deep dreamless sleep. The fourth state sounds in the resonance following M.
We hear the sound Om in many languages: 'amen' (so be it); 'amin' (believable – Hebrew); 'amon' (Amon Ra – Egyptian sun god); 'eema' (mother – Hebrew); 'amah' (mother – Arabic); 'ma-ma'. I find it interesting and perhaps obvious, that we associate Om with ideas of motherhood, god and belief.

Pairs Head 2012
In prospect the Pairs Head promises to be a bit easier than the other winter head races. It's shorter for one thing, the weather's a little warmer and we can hardly complain about the paddle back from Hammersmith Bridge.
In practice those mellow delusions are pretty much knocked out of you before you've passed Barnes Bridge. Everyone simply compensates for the shorter distance by rowing harder. This year, the presence of a number of British internationals in the field helped keep standards high.
Pushing off from the Sons pontoon were six of our own crews – a lot of work from Drago and Tony ensuring that every available boat was ready to race. There were quite a number of visitors too from all over the country with doubles and pairs crowding the walkway by the river wall.
A wind that seemed mostly out of the West and a strong stream promised some fast times, with autumnal showers helping to keep heat stroke at bay.
The stand-out performance from Sons has to be Les Scrine and Brad Boerike in the Vet D 2x. Third in the same division last year they improved by one place to take second place, just four seconds behind the winners from Walton Rowing Club.
Almost as close behind the winners of Vet B 2x were Ed Hillyard and Sam Haeta. But very similar performance from the leading boats meant this highly competitive time only secured fifth place. A good row none-the-less – particularly as a number of scullers in this division are rumoured to have been competing at international level fairly recently.
Also worth a mention or a rumble of approval, the fourth place in the Women's Vet B 2x from Faith Jamieson and Alex Ayakatsikas. All in all some decent racing performances from the club – and volunteering too. A number of other members were kind enough to help run the race and make this important national event possible.

Council chiefs are asking residents to have their say on what improvements they would like to see to Worksop's Memorial Gardens and the Canch.
Bassetlaw District Council has launched a consultation to create a new ten-year vision for the park, looking at how it can be improved and maintained.
Coun Julie Leigh, cabinet member for neighbourhoods at the district council, said: "It's extremely important that we gather the public's views as part of this project and so that we can start to shape how the Canch develops over the next few years.
"By collecting this information we can get a picture of exactly how the park is being used, what the most important elements are to visitors and what may be currently lacking from our current facilities. Please take five minutes to complete the survey and tell us what you think."
The consultation is now live on the council's website and runs until Friday September 7.
Questions look at how visitors use the park, the reasons for visiting, how you would rate the current facilities and what improvements you would like to see.
It also asks if anyone would be willing to volunteer to help the council care for the Canch.
Planning Solutions Consulting Limited (PSC) has been commissioned to carry out the consultation and prepare a masterplan on the future development and improvements for the Canch, as well as update the management plan.
Kevin Brown, from PSC, said: "We recognise that the Canch is a popular, established and much-loved park, dating back more than 100 years.
"We are delighted to be carrying out this work on the council's behalf and will be conducting detailed research.
"It is vital that the findings respond to the needs and aspirations of local users, so we would ask all interested parties to complete the questionnaire.
"Please let us know your views and to help shape the future in a positive way."
To complete the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/canch.

The Healing Power Of Forgiveness - The Gift of Reconciliation
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
---Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness is a process of inner healing. For most of the people in The Crucible, they did not need to necessarily forgive others; but forgive themselves. The Crucible is a story of mass hysteria in a period of time in which men dominated women. However, Arthur Miller portrays Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Procter as two women with drastic roles to play. John Procter is a man who has great influence over…

text: There are certain dishes that no matter how many times I make them, I'm always looking for a better recipe. Macaroni and cheese is one of them. You know a good macaroni and cheese when you taste it. For me, it's rich but not oily, gooey with melted cheese and with no graininess to the sauce. It's also got a little sharp edge to it. I usually start with a bechamel, but I've never been convinced that it's the perfect sauce base.

We are extremely excited to have broken ground and begun construction on our 3 unit multifamily real estate development.
This project is adding 3 2 bed 1 bath apartment rental units to the existing property we own at 28th St and Oak in Phoenix. We purchased the existing 3 units property in 2015 and completed a gut renovation of the existing units in 2016.
Now we are beginning phase two of the project which is maximizing the space and adding three new units, giving us a total of six. This will bring the property to its highest and best use, providing us maximum value and return. Through our combination of experience and knowledge in construction and investment, we were able to figure out a way to configure the lot to accommodate the six units, compared to the three existing. A lot of our competitors and other buyers didn't expect this to be possible and only evaluated the property as three possible units.
We expect the construction on this new phase to take around 4- 5 months. This will hopefully have us completed, with a certificate of occupancy so that we can market the new apartments in April-May of 2018. Right in time for spring selling season!
We will be posting updates and videos throughout the construction process so you can follow along and track our progress.
Check out this awesome aerial drone video we took so we can track before and after progress!

Noel Gallagher thinks fans will ''adore'' his new music later in life, although the reception to 'Who Built The Moon?' has been a little frosty.
Noel Gallagher thinks fans will ''adore'' his new music later in life.
The 50-year-old singer's rock band High Flying Birds dropped their third studio album titled 'Who Built The Moon?' on November 24, and though the star has acknowledged people may dislike his record because it is different to his previous tracks, he believes in the ''long run'' fans will soon come round to the compilation and enjoy it.
Speaking to Radio X's John Kennedy, Noel - who is known for being in Oasis alongside his sibling Liam Gallagher until the band split in 2009 following a backstage feud at a concert - said: ''You know there's still people who want to live through 1995, and that's great. But we lived through 1995, and that's kind of what we did then, it's not what we do now.
''And I must say to them if you're in any way mildly disappointed by this record, then the next few years are not going to be fun for you, because there's no going back from here.
''I reckon in the long run, people will adore this record because it's got more legs than the other two, for sure.''
But the 'Wonderwall' hitmaker thinks listeners had already made up their mind about his new release before hearing every single on the LP.
Noel - who has 17-year-old daughter with ex-partner Meg Matthews, as well as sons Donovan, 10, and Sonny, seven, with his current wife Sara MacDonald - continued: ''I suddenly realised that the people who are not having this album the most... are the people who haven't heard it. They've heard the trailer, and a bit of 'Holy Mountain'.
''People were very, very sure that they were not having this album.
''That's fascinating, that you are willing to just dismiss it because of what you think it is. Partly that was intentional, because on the trailer I put the most divisive music on there.''
On 'Tallulah', Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose seem to have that burning connection again.
There were a number of defining bands of the 90's but Oasis were indisputably one...

The Actor Who Wanted to Sing
There are two things renowned British actor Simon Russell Beale wants to do when he comes to Singapore: eat a durian and have a few sticks of satay. He is no stranger to Singapore either. He was born in Penang and often came here as a child. But the 48-year-old bachelor, dubbed the greatest Shakespeare actor of his generation by Britain's The Independent newspaper, never had a chance to taste the spiky king of fruit.
In a recent interview with Life! in New York, he adds: 'Both me and my sister order satay whenever we see it in a restaurant. But we have never had satay like the satay in Singapore.' He is coming to town to star in The Winter's Tale, the high-profile Shakespearean play directed by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes. It plays at the Esplanade Theatre from March 26 to 31. The play opens The Bridge Project, a three-year collaboration between American arts centre Brooklyn Academy of Music, London's Old Vic and Neal Street Productions, a film and theatre production company owned by Mendes.
Beale is the British heavyweight in an Anglo-American cast which includes actors Rebecca Hall and Ethan Hawke. He plays jealous King Leontes, the king who accuses his wife Hermione (Hall) of adultery. The critics in New York have raved about his performance. Ben Brantley of The New York Times writes: 'I can't think of another actor of Russell Beale's generation who could bring such transparency to the darkness of Leontes while still honouring the mystery that is so essential to The Winter's Tale.' Speaking to Life! at the Harvey Theater in Brooklyn, where the play opened, the warm and articulate actor reminisced fondly about his childhood.
He was sent to boarding school in Britain but would travel to visit his parents here, where his father worked as an army physician. Singapore of the 1960s remains vivid for him. Street names roll off his tongue easily. He remembers Orchard Road for shopping, a swimming pool in Dover Road and his parents' apartment in Pasir Panjang Close. He says: 'The most exciting bit was getting out of the plane, walking down the steps of the terminal, the hot air coming out like a great big wall. 'And there was mum and dad, in the arrival hall, waving.'
He cringes when you bring up the 'greatest actor of his generation' accolade. 'It's a bit embarrassing but incredibly flattering of course. It doesn't really mean anything. You could point to a hundred actors and say that.' After a pause, he adds: 'Perhaps I'm the only one who has specialised quite a lot on stage.' Modesty aside, he has achieved excellence in his 25-year career and is something of a national treasure back home.
A mainstay in the British theatre scene, he has played several definitive roles, such as Konstantin in Terry Hands' 1991 production of The Seagull for the Royal Shakespeare Company; a cynical Thersites in Mendes' Troilus And Cressida and the title role in 2003's Uncle Vanya, for which he won a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor. The award is the most prestigious in London theatre. But he had not always wanted to be an actor. He had initially wanted to be a chorister, going on a music scholarship to Cambridge University and later to the leading arts school, Guildhall School of Music and Drama. But he did not finish that course. 'I wasn't a particularly good singer. At Guildhall, I remember looking at the actors and thinking, 'I'm better at that',' he says. He adds with a laugh: 'Even my singing teacher thought I should be an actor. I think that was fairly conclusive.'
On the perception that British actors do Shakespeare better than Americans, he says: 'I know some American actors feel insecure, but I've seen nothing of it this time round.' He finds similarities between doing Shakespeare and American theatre. 'The Broadway language-based, quick-fire comedy; the great American plays by Eugene O'Neill; even the television sitcoms, they require some techniques of doing Shakespeare, which is language- based acting.' He considers his character, Leontes, a sympathetic one, and thinks he is a man suffering a breach of his usual reasonable self. 'What he does to Hermione is a terrible aberration,' he says. 'His explosive moment is perhaps his biggest emotion. You should feel that he is a good man, but everything went wrong very quickly. 'It's really such a moving play – it taps into the fundamental human desire for a second chance.'
The brainiac – he obtained first class honours in English at Cambridge University and was offered a place to do a doctorate – says he has 'thousands of books'. His favourite topics? English history, philosophy and music. He has just bought a new book on musical harmony. He says with a smile: 'Maybe on the long flights I'll teach myself
Thanks to Abigail who got this interview from the Straits Times.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Moroccan food' tag.
The Japanese government has declared the baiu (summer monsoon) is officially on. And we did indeed have some rain the last two or three days. I find rain so cleansing and comforting that when I lived in a city with little rainfall I felt an ever-growing sense of inquietude and filth, as if the world was not getting a good cleansing. I was glad to leave that place where everyone told me the weather was perfect (72 degrees everyday) because the weather was just too fucking monotonous. I like my weather to riff a bit, to surprise me with a scat and a groove.
I had a dinner party on Saturday night. I invited four other temporarily manless (unmanned? man-free? murihito?) women and served them Moroccan food: salad with romaine hearts and oranges and cinnamon, whole-wheat bread with caraway seeds, stuffed meatballs cooked in a ras el hanout spiced date and onion sauce, and for dessert, mint tea, sesame cookies, and slices of watermelon. The recipes were from Cooking at the Kasbah by Kitty Morse. My father gave me the cookbook. It's signed to me by the author, so my dad must have met her somewhere. I thought I'd give this new addition to my cookbook collection a test drive. It's a pretty decent cookbook: lovely photos, some good background, recipes for staples like spice mixes and preserved lemons.
I just received some thank you emails for the dinner and the theme seems to be that I make entertaining look easy. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it has something to do with how I prepare. I chop everything that can be chopped, cook everything that can be cooked ahead of time. I lay out every utensil, every bowl, anything I may need. This seems logical and natural to me, and indeed makes everything easy. This kind of easy is deceptive because I must do the work of thinking of everything that will be needed and laying it all out.
There's something else, though, in "easy." For me, the kneading of the bread, the chopping of vegetables, the forming the spiced ground beef around wedges of hardboiled egg to make stuffed meatballs, all this is fun to me. I enjoy making my own food almost more than eating it because I taste and smell it for several hours, and by the end I am almost immune to it. Making food for me is about discovery and creation. I feel alive and connected to the world when bread rises, when rice steams, meat browns, onions melt down and caramelize, when a teaspoon of cardamom or cumin or a pinch of saffron perfumes the kitchen and the dish. I feel a connection to the place that the food comes from, even if I am cooking Moroccan in Japan. It may be an indulgent illusion to think oneself connected to other places through food, but I know of no other instantaneous way to sample a culture. Language and art require some study. Food is one way (along with music) one can spontaneously enter another culture. So, if it looks easy, perhaps it is because I'm having such a lovely time.
Still, even with food and music, familiarity makes for deeper appreciation and ease. So, I can whip up a Moroccan-style meal in a couple of hours because I have cooked similar dishes before. I have used the whole range of spices, and I am past having to be careful as I add ingredients. Perhaps I have a feeling before I even read the recipe what the recipe will include; I just rely on the measurements as a guide. I often change ingredients or amounts knowing I like extra this or that. I often pull out several cookbooks and then make a meta-recipe from several versions of the same dish. I have tasted enough in restaurants and home cooking in many countries, through many different cookbooks to understand what I am going for. When you have tasted only a few things in life, the new can seem frightening and overwhelming. For me, experience only deepens my appreciation and makes the work light. The difference between a jaded palate and an epicure's delight is all in one's spiritual attitude.
All this shows that easy is relative. Easy is hidden behind experience. A musician makes a performance look easy because he has done it hundreds and hundreds of times before. He can add or subtract at will, change up the recipe because he knows exactly how to adjust the musical ingredients. So, what I read in my thank you notes is I have become smoother at the performance, not that the effort is inherently easy.
I washed the dishes, put things away, and spent today in a meditative mood as the rain lightly showered and cleaned everything. I listened to a little Van Morrison; I watched too much TV, and ate some leftovers. I missed my husband and thought of what we'd be doing if he were home. (We'd be laughing.) Having weathered many such deployments, I know how to help myself get through the long months of feeling physical yearning, self-pity, boredom, annoyance, depression, transference to an obsession to help pass the time, and occasional moments of joyous transcendence. Making dinner can be a deeply healing activity. Being a Navy wife is difficult, I suppose, but I'm pretty sure from the outside I make it look easy.

Jewelry materials and methods
In creating jewellery, gemstones, coins, or other precious items are often used, and they are typically set into precious metals. Alloys of nearly every metal known have been encountered in jewellery. Bronze, for example, was common in Roman times. Modern fine jewellery usually includes gold, white gold, platinum, palladium, titanium, or silver. Most contemporary gold jewellery is made of an alloy of gold, the purity of which is stated in karats, indicated by a number followed by the letter K. American gold jewellery must be of at least 10K purity (41.7% pure gold), (though in the UK the number is 9K (37.5% pure gold) and is typically found up to 18K (75% pure gold). Higher purity levels are less common with alloys at 22 K (91.6% pure gold), and 24 K (99.9% pure gold) being considered too soft for jewellery use in America and Europe. These high purity alloys, however, are widely used across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Platinum alloys range from 900 (90% pure) to 950 (95.0% pure). The silver used in jewellery is usually sterling silver, or 92.5% fine silver. In costume jewellery, stainless steel findings are sometimes used.
Bead embroidery design.
Other commonly used materials include glass, such as fused-glass or enamel; wood, often carved or turned; shells and other natural animal substances such as bone and ivory; natural clay; polymer clay; Hemp and other twines have been used as well to create jewellery that has more of a natural feel. However, any inclusion of lead or lead solder will give an English Assay office (the building which gives English jewellery its stamp of approval, the Hallmark) the right to destroy the piece, however it is very rare for the assay office to do so.
Beads are frequently used in jewellery. These may be made of glass, gemstones, metal, wood, shells, clay and polymer clay. Beaded jewellery commonly encompasses necklaces, bracelets, earrings, belts and rings. Beads may be large or small; the smallest type of beads used are known as seed beads, these are the beads used for the "woven" style of beaded jewellery. Another use of seed beads is an embroidery technique where seed beads are sewn onto fabric backings to create broad collar neck pieces and beaded bracelets. Bead embroidery, a popular type of handwork during the Victorian era, is enjoying a renaissance in modern jewellery making. Beading, or beadwork, is also very popular in many African and indigenous North American cultures.
Silversmiths, goldsmiths, and lapidaries methods include forging, casting, soldering or welding, cutting, carving and "cold-joining" (using adhesives, staples and rivets to assemble parts).
Diamonds were first mined in India. Pliny may have mentioned them, although there is some debate as to the exact nature of the stone he referred to as Adamas; In 2005, Australia, Botswana, Russia and Canada ranked among the primary sources of gemstone diamond production. There are negative consequences of the diamond trade in certain areas. Diamonds mined during the recent civil wars in Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, and other nations have been labelled as blood diamonds when they are mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency.
The British crown jewels contain the Cullinan Diamond, part of the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found (1905), at 3,106.75 carats (621.35 g).
Now popular in engagement rings, this usage dates back to the marriage of Maximilian I to Mary of Burgundy in 1477.
Other gemstones
Many precious and semiprecious stones are used for jewellery. Among them are:
Amber, an ancient organic gemstone, is composed of tree resin that has hardened over time. The stone must be at least one million years old to be classified as amber, and some amber can be up to 120 million years old.
Amethyst has historically been the most prized gemstone in the quartz family. It is treasured for its purple hue, which can range in tone from light to dark.
Spanish emerald and gold pendant at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Emeralds are one of the three main precious gemstones (along with rubies and sapphires) and are known for their fine green to bluish green colour. They have been treasured throughout history, and some historians report that the Egyptians mined emerald as early as 3500 BC.
Jade is most commonly associated with the colour green but can come in a number of other colours as well. Jade is closely linked to Asian culture, history, and tradition, and is sometimes referred to as the stone of heaven.
Jasper is a gemstone of the chalcedony family that comes in a variety of colours. Often, jasper will feature unique and interesting patterns within the coloured stone. Picture jasper is a type of jasper known for the colours (often beiges and browns) and swirls in the stone's pattern.
Quartz refers to a family of crystalline gemstones of various colours and sizes. Among the well-known types of quartz are rose quartz (which has a delicate pink colour), and smoky quartz (which comes in a variety of shades of translucent brown). A number of other gemstones, such as Amethyst and Citrine, are also part of the quartz family. Rutilated quartz is a popular type of quartz containing needle-like inclusions.
Rubies are known for their intense red colour and are among the most highly valued precious gemstones. Rubies have been treasured for millennia. In Sanskrit, the word for ruby is ratnaraj, meaning king of precious stones.
The most popular form of sapphire is blue sapphire, which is known for its medium to deep blue colour and strong saturation. Fancy sapphires of various colours are also available. In the United States, blue sapphire tends to be the most popular and most affordable of the three major precious gemstones (emerald, ruby, and sapphire).
Turquoise is found in only a few places on earth, and the world's largest turquoise producing region is the southwest United States. Turquoise is prized for its attractive colour, most often an intense medium blue or a greenish blue, and its ancient heritage. Turquoise is used in a great variety of jewellery styles. It is perhaps most closely associated with southwest and Native American jewellery, but it is also used in many sleek, modern styles. Some turquoise contains a matrix of dark brown markings, which provides an interesting contrast to the gemstone's bright blue colour.
Some gemstones (like pearls, coral, and amber) are classified as organic, meaning that they are produced by living organisms. Others are inorganic, meaning that they are generally composed of and arise from minerals.
Some gems, for example, amethyst, have become less valued as methods of extracting and importing them have progressed. Some man-made gems can serve in place of natural gems, such as cubic zirconia, which can be used in place of diamond.

Medical Assistance and Dying, and Mature Minors: where are we now?
In June of 2016, the Government of Canada introduced bill C-14, which paved the way for medical assistance in dying (MAID). Part of the initial legislation specifically excluded minors from being eligible for MAID, however the government committed to performing an independent review to consider mature minors as persons eligible for MAID at some point in the future.
Join us as we hear from Dr. Dawn Davies, palliative care physician at CHEO and Roger Neilson's House in Ottawa, who will provide some insight into the current state of the legislation, and the review to potentially include mature minors in the current legislation.
Attendees will:
- Describe some of the key milestones that led to Canadian legislation that allows MAID for adults 18 years and older.
- Describe the legal concept of mature minor, and how mature minors are currently involved in their health care decisions.
- The ethical debate about the possible inclusion or continued exclusion of mature minors from MAID in Canada
Dr. Dawn Davies
Dr. Dawn Davies, BScN, MD, FRCPC, MA, practiced as a registered nurse before graduating from McMaster University medical school (1993). Dawn completed her pediatric residency at the University of Alberta (1997). Following a one-year McEachern Fellowship (Canadian Cancer Society, 1999), she returned to the University of Alberta, where she was Medical Director of the Pediatric Palliative Care Program for nearly 20 years. In July 2018, Dawn joined the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario's Palliative Care Program and Roger Neilson House in Ottawa.
Dawn received her MA (Health Care Ethics and Law) from the University of Manchester UK in 2011. She is current Chair of the Bioethics Committee, Canadian Paediatric Society. She has recently undertaken two surveys of Canadian pediatric clinicians to better understand their attitudes about the issue of MAID for minors, and historic requests of parents/minors for MAID. She is one of the leading experts in Canada on the issue of MAID for mature minors.
