text: Let me put my dilemma as an example. Take a look at a snippet from FooTest. #using mocha def test_method1 Bar.expects(:method2).with('param1', 'param2').once Foo.method1 end And now the implementation class Foo def self.method1 Bar.method2('param1', 'param2') end end class Bar end So far so good... Now my dilemma is that while implementing method2 in Bar, I can come up with any weird signature (e.g. def method2 someInteger, someOtherNumber) and I will not be breaking FooTest. This obviously makes life hard while refactoring. Coming from a Java/C# background, I used to rely on compilation to catch these issues. How have people solved such problems?

Dexis Among Four Awardees to Support Assessment, Monitoring & Evaluation at Defense AgencyRead More
Ensuring security through governance.
The Security Governance Initiative (SGI) was founded in 2014 as a multi-year partnership between the United States and six African countries. It offers targeted approaches to improving security through improved governance. SGI's central objective is to support partner governments in developing sound policies and institutions to deliver security and justice to their citizens.
Dexis provides monitoring and evaluation services and produces focused, informed recommendations for Department of State regional bureaus to help shape SGI programmatic decisions. These include the Bureaus of Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs (NEA) and the Bureau of African Affairs (AF), as well as functional bureaus including the Bureau of Counterterrorism, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), and the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM). Dexis provides consistent, systematic reporting on program performance and informs the SGI coordination office on program impact. Dexis also develops processes for managing SGI data and providing usable products to communicate results to senior management and Congress.
Dexis has conducted field assessments and conducted interviews with ministers, officers, and other members of partner nation governments and militaries Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. The Dexis team is establishing data collection protocols with U.S. Government and partner nation stakeholders across a wide range of sectors, including the security sector (border security entities and the national police), the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the defense services (Army, Navy, Air Force), and civil society. Dexis also has provided substantive analysis for Department of State and other strategic-level forums on security sector assistance and formally presented on monitoring and evaluation at regional seminars. Dexis personnel have been sought out by other teams in the Africa Bureau for their programming and subject matter expertise, and have worked to iterate on SGI processes in regional contexts outside of their country portfolio.

Chapter Two: A View of Reality
What do you think our world is all about? Is this country crawling down the road to moral and ethical ruin? Or is life just getting better and better? Do you enjoy the challenge of your work or studies, or would you rather see movies and watch television? Is religion the most important thing in your life, or should it be outlawed as a dangerous drug?
As to what the world is all about, we take that for granted that Americans love to differ. But many Americans assume the opposite about the news media—that all their personnel think and act in just about the same way, from local weeklies to metro dailies, from NBC News in New York to the local news in the 210th largest market (i.e., Glendive, Montana). Common sense suggests that this can't be true.
In fact, news values generally guide decisions of news gatekeepers, just as other common values guide most Americans (pay your taxes, respect people's property, obey stop signs, shop at the mall, etc.). Beyond this, however, news gatekeepers interpret the day's events based on what their organization believes the world is all about.
Get Real
Let's again take that mundane example from Chapter One, the local city council meeting. Sitting in the audience, you notice several reporters from various news organizations at the press table. They, like you, are looking at tonight's agenda:
1. Approval of minutes.
2. City engineer report: Oak Street sewer separation.
3. City attorney report: County sexual harassment lawsuit.
4. Liquor Commission report: License for Joe's Bar.
5. Third reading: Abortion clinic picketing ordinance.
6. Consideration of bids: Library remodeling.
7. Adjournment.
Relying on news values, what item do you think will get news coverage? The obvious answer is the abortion clinic picketing ordinance. It's highly controversial, heavy on human interest and emotion, carrying serious consequences, and both local and timely. In fact, many an editor or news director will have prepped the reporter on the scene to watch this agenda item closely.
But the most obvious item on an agenda isn't necessarily the one that will become the big story of the meeting. Top management of each news organization will have invariably decided matters most. One publication may emphasize celebrities and show biz with stories about famous people in town and lots of photos. A local television news operation may decide the area is dangerously infested with criminals, so they will cover crime in great detail. A third news operation may focus on doughty entrepreneurs, emphasizing new building, town businesses, restaurants, and economic development. A fourth may see economic development as a problem, and offer readers exposés and critical assessments of economic costs.
This is simply a particular view of reality. A publisher, editor, news director, or station owner says, "This is what I think our world is all about, and here's how we are going to present it to you." In fact, most media consumers vaguely realize this, even if media hardly ever state it explicitly. We expect certain news operations to emphasize certain stories over others. Good public relations people have that realization honed to a fine point, and know how to focus a story to attract particular media.
How does a news operation establish its view of reality? Often it's not a formal process. Try thinking like a dog. Dog lovers know that an old dog which has learned the rhythm and expectations of owners will often turn into the teacher to a young dog just coming on board. The young dog will learn and be rewarded for certain behavior that matches owners' expectations. Similarly, young dogs joining a news operation quickly learn what kind of writing and editing most likely will find favor with the editors—even with the big bwana, the owner or chain manager. They too are rewarded with pay and promotions for behavior that matches these expectations. Nothing may appear in a policy manual, or be specifically stated about the operation's view of reality, but the staff gets the message, and passes it on to a next generation.
Is this tradition-bound? Well, news media operations traditionally like being traditional. Change is upsetting, especially to newspapers, but change does take place. Why? Because news media in the United States aim to make money. Profit trumps tradition every time. Ultimately gatekeepers realize they must attract readers and viewers to make a profit, to keep their jobs, or even to stay in business. How they choose to make a profit influences their view of reality.
For instance, television news operations like to cover crime, especially in major cities. It offers opportunities for gritty, emotion-wracked video footage, a stab right in The Big Three, sure to attract viewers. Many newspapers, however, relegate such stories to an inside page under a smallish headline. You might jump to condemn the television station for raw, irresponsible pandering. But hold that crouch for a moment. Most people think newspapers have a tough time competing with television, but television has its problems too. Even large cities today have become one-newspaper towns, while television news directors must compete with at least a couple of other television news operations. And the competition is brutal: the sweeps fly past three times a year, and if a news show drops a few points, talking heads roll. In contrast, most newspaper editors work in a less frenzied pace based on longer-term circulation goals.
Newspaper operations also have the luxury of space. Television news must be all things to all people. If you don't like a story, you have no option but to turn to another station. Newspapers, however, can offer something to everyone. If you don't like their news coverage, you don't necessarily throw the whole sheaf into the recycling bin. You can page back to the sports, comics, letters to the editor, or bridge column. Newspaper owners don't care why you buy the newspaper, as long as you do buy. Some people think it's worth spending two or more quarters a day for crossword puzzles. That keeps up circulation, and keeps advertisers interested. So a print news operation can run material that appeals to tiny segments of Americans—that bridge column, for instance—while television news operations must generally appeal to the lowest common denominator. A news director who produces a series on an important but not telegenic issue—say, the city's budget—takes a gutsy risk with her ratings.
On television the consequences may be heavier than "too bad, we blew that one." It may be "too bad, hope your resumé is updated." Hence, television news directors are not likely to take risks with their audience. Especially during ratings months, will revert time and again to The Big Three, even if that skews their normal view of reality.
But we're still sitting near the press table of that city council meeting. The abortion picketing ordinance may well become the big story, we have to temper that assumption by assessing the view of reality held by a particular news operation. If, for instance, a view of reality suggests that scandals and shenanigans shape city politics, then a harassment lawsuit would perhaps take a more central role. If, on the other hand, a view suggests that the business of America is business, then the contractor subset of the community's business might be particularly interested in progress of a sewer separation. If the world defines itself along lines of moral and religious division, the liquor license question may get top billing.
Just because any news operation has its own peculiar view of reality, it doesn't mean—well, it doesn't mean a couple of things you might assume:
1. It doesn't mean other stories will be ignored—not usually. Most primary gatekeepers (reporters) will report the other issues, particularly in newspapers and on websites with their luxury of space. It's a matter of priority, however; stories that fall within the scope of the view will be emphasized, while others will receive less significant treatment.
2. It doesn't mean a news operation isn't objective. In fact, let's consider in more detail this shibboleth of ethical journalism.
Trying to Be Objective
Journalism students are sometimes surprised to hear that the ideal of objectivity was not part of American journalism for most of the Republic's history. "News" in our founding fathers' time was really one editor's opinion, usually political. The Daily Blabbeth of the period offered, say, "News according to the Federalists." The Daily Screecheth offered "News according to the anti-Federalists." No newspaper generally offered "News according to no politico in particular" until the advent of the New York Sun, the nation's first "Penny Press" newspaper and the first true mass medium. Still, the idea that a reporter ought to be objective didn't really take off until the twentieth century, as the number of newspapers supported by any particular town began to dwindle.
The nineteenth century's true marketplace of ideas, the published town square of opinion where inquiring minds could read many viewpoints, shrunk in the next century to the local media we find in most cities today: one daily newspaper and about three television news operations. True, you'll occasionally find a news-oriented radio station and some free-circulation weeklies and magazines, but most of these don't purport to fill the daily niche we know as "news." As the number of voices shrunk, the call for a more responsible journalism rose through some of the most influential media figures and critics of the last century's turn, such as Joseph Pulitzer and Walter Lippmann. This new and more responsible approach came to be known as "objectivity." Today media consumers bandy that word about as if it were some sort of constitutional right. Every so often we hear a puffed-up local press critic observing with consternation that coverage of some issue slid into the mortal sin of the journalism world: it failed to be "objective!" As if the free-press First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees no such thing!
Most American journalists today are steeped in the ethical principles taught by the journalism and mass communication programs established in nearly every publicly supported university in the country. These programs, and the effort they have made to turn the news-gathering game into a respectable and responsible profession, are contemporary inventions. The first undergraduate program resides in the University of Missouri, dating from 1926. By the 1950s most large public universities offered journalism and mass communication, but only in the last quarter of the century did nearly every other university jumped on the cash-wagon. (Majors in J and MC are among the country's most popular choices, although most students today seek more lucrative careers in advertising and public relations, and not in news-mongering.)
Nearly all of these schools require the study of journalism ethics, and "objectivity" is a lofty goal. It means, at least, learning to write a news story that reflects all sides of an issue without overt favor or covert bias. This is difficult to do, but many competent reporters come close. For instance, if a reporter writes about the abortion picketing ordinance debate at our city council meeting, she would listen carefully to comments and take accurate notes. She would reflect all opinions expressed. If confused about a comment or background information, she would speak to participants after the meeting. She might call other relevant and competent spokespeople for responses to actions taken at the meeting. She would try hard to craft a story reflecting the spirit of the debate and, if lucky, she would see that story aired or printed in its entirety.
This constitutes the craft of a responsible reporter. But it has nothing to do with the news operation's view of reality. A responsible reporter can write an objective news story on just about any event. But the decision to cover the story, the way a reporter manufactures it, and the way a news operation plays it is determined by the view of reality.
To explore this concept, we can first identify the most common approaches to reality in local and regional news operations today. In general, how does a newspaper or television news department reflect the significance of the world around it? Most common views of reality are:
1. It's All Politics
The activities of this country's political leaders mold the world we live in, and newspeople need to scrutinize their actions. News operations that hold this world view commonly assert traditional values of what news people ought to be doing: watchdogging the government. Investigative reporters may look behind the desks of legislators for scoops or exposés, but will generally assume politicians are doing the public's business in a reasonably sound manner. Sometimes also targeted for investigations are business leaders in town, on the assumption that they are doing dirty to the public's rights and freedoms. Some critics decry these news operations for their perceived "liberal slant," although traditional concepts of liberal and conservative really have little to do with most news operations.
2. It's All Money
Politics may seem important, but the country thrives on business, and private industry is what makes the United States powerful and prosperous. News operations that hold this view commonly celebrate big businesses, and small entrepreneurs, whether they be the athlete and his manager, the car dealer and her sales force, or the legislature and its troublesome regulations. Generally this view of reality doesn't seek to uncover the dark side of business operations, but happily report the foibles of politicians. Some critics might call this view of reality "conservative."
3. It's All Celebrities
Politics and business may seem important, but what really influences society in this country is popular culture. News operations that defend this view regularly point out the huge crowds attending rock and country music concerts, the huge salaries commanded by sports celebrities, the huge audiences for television sitcoms, and the huge fascination with violent video games. American pop culture reaches around the world, and certainly creeps into every corner of our lives. Some critics call this view of reality "liberal," particularly if they decry the morality of the celebrities featured.
4. It's All Crime
Politics, business, and celebrities may be important, but what people are really concerned with in their day-by-day existence is safety and security. This view of reality, particularly favored by urban television news operations, emphasizes the dangers of the streets with extensive coverage of murders, muggings and other crimes, as space and time permit (who could possibly keep up with all of it?). This invariably produces a dark, pessimistic view of reality, because crime reportage inevitably carries with it the usually unstated concern that the government authorities assigned to protect the streets can't cope. Some critics might call this view of reality "conservative," if it suggests "law and order" values as a solution to the dangers of our daily existence, or "liberal" if it suggests root causes in poverty and racism.
5. It's All a Mundane Mishmash
Politics, business, celebrities, and crime may seem important, but for most of us life is filled with little daily comings and goings, small news, interesting tidbits, and little interludes. In real life we don't talk to politicians or celebrities. Most of us don't run big businesses. Chances are we won't be mugged or murdered. These chatty and friendly local news operations—most of them weekly newspapers and small-market television stations—fill their space with human interest pieces, meeting announcements, store openings, workshops, concerts, speakers, high school sports, school plays, Rotary banquets, and other small stories—a drumbeat of daily life. Some critics call this view of reality neither liberal nor conservative, but inconsequential. Yet these newspapers make essential reading for the communities they serve. Most New Yorkers do not subscribe to the Times, but almost everybody in a small town subscribes to the local weekly.
Few news operations squat squarely in one category or another. A view of reality, like life itself, is more complex. Watching one night's newscast or scanning one morning's newspaper, isn't enough to help us decide what we're dealing with. Can you identify a person's view of life in one conversation? In the same way, you need to live with a newspaper or news show for a while, in order to get a feeling for its general viewpoint. Of course, it's more accurate to do a scholarly content analysis of your favorite news medium, but most of us who live day in and day out with the same local news media can get a pretty accurate feeling of what life's all about, according to, say, the Daily Drab or Nightly Nag. (Score your own medium using the Collins Media Type test below.)
The famous Myers-Briggs personality profile helps determine people's personality types. Along the same line, the Collins news media type profile test can help you find the "personality type" (view of reality) of your favorite local news organization.
The View for You
1. Do you read or listen to lots of stories about international affairs, national political debates, and local government, even though they may be dull? If stories of international, national, or local politicians generally dominate the first pages, or begin the newscast, you may be dealing with view of reality one—it's all politics.
2. Do you know a fair bit about business in your community, even if you're not in business yourself? If business news stories and features regularly command sizable chunks of time and space in a news operation, you may be dealing with view of reality two—it's all money.
3. Can you speak knowledgeably with pop-culture-driven pre-teens, despite seldom reading Vanity Fair or Seventeen? Do sports stars and celebrities regularly command the front page or top of the newscast? Consider view three—it's all celebrities.
4. Do you live in fear of neighborhood crime, even though you have little personal experience of it? Probably you've been influenced by your favorite news operation's coverage, view four—it's all crime.
5. Do you find your local news to be innocuous and mildly amusing, and expect to read or hear your name somewhere soon? You're likely dealing with view five—it's all a mishmash.
These five most common daily and weekly news views of reality are reflected on the pie chart.
Note that the chart is divided into five equal sections representing the five common news views of reality. Toward the center fall the "classic" news operations emphasizing each of the five: New York Times for politics, Wall Street Journal for business, USA Today for entertainment, big city TV news for crime, and your local "East Shoe Gazette" for the mundane. You may argue, reasonably, that USA Today isn't nearly as celebrity-saturated as it used to be, or that your favorite big-city TV news operation doesn't target crime that much. So be it, but what these five choices have in common is their obvious set up as "news" operations, with the classic expectation of demanding deadlines based mostly on actual events, interview-based news articles, and quick turnaround.
Move up the chart toward the rim, and you can imagine classic non-news media operations: publications or television programs with similar views of reality, but no interest in journalism-style deadlines or approaches to articles. Vanity Fair, for instance, loves celebrities, but treats them to lavish features connected to no particular time element. ABC's "Entertainment Tonight" may have somewhat of a "time element" as a daily television show, but most of its celebrity news covers new movies, awards, or tummy tucks, not events based on an event that happened at a particular time.
Of course, considering the thousands of news operations trying to make a buck in this country by fine-tuning their own view of reality, news consumers are going to see considerable overlap among these five categories. The chart is designed to reflect this. Your familiar news operation may lean toward politics but have significant interest in celebrities too. If that's the case, put a red dot in the political category, but down toward the center, closer to the celebrities category. If your television news show likes celebrities and crime (a popular combination), pen a dot on the border between the two. If, on the other hand, your newspaper reminds you of a chatty shopper with lots of "news you can use," but not much material based on actual events or relying on deadlines, spot a dot toward the rim of the "mundane" category.
You'll likely see a particular news operation try all of these categories from time to time. A television news program will add a weekly "Just Folks" feature to interview those unglamorous everyday folk like you and me who don't run for office, get into trouble, or do anything that would promote them to a "source" (see chapter 3). A newspaper will run a whole tabloid devoted to the fall football season. A weekly will fill a regular pull-out section, something like "Biz Buzz."
Why do news operations occasionally step out of their normal view of reality? Because there's money to be made there. Even if it's not their normal scene, most news operations would hate to miss out on a possible extra cash critter.

1. Compare two competing news operations using the World of News Pie Chart.
2. Evaluate your favorite local news source using the News Media Type Test below.
The Collins News Media "View of Reality" Test
What type is your media? You could do painstaking content analysis research. But that's expensive and time-consuming and, let's admit it, most of us don't know how to do it. But if you're a regular reader or viewer of a particular news operation, you've probably absorbed enough content to have a pretty good idea of what you can expect to read or see from those journalists. Based on the perception of what you'd expect to see prominently covered (front page, beginning of broadcast, top of website) by your favorite news medium, assess that medium's type based on this quiz.
Record the appropriate answer.
1. Lead stories cover debates in the state legislature.
2. Features on local businesses regularly play a prominent role.
3. A well-known entertainer in town will get a big share of that day's news coverage.
4. Murder stories get detailed treatment, sometimes for several days.
5. The local Burger Barn's "employee of the month" contest winners will be prominently mentioned.
6. Congressional bills enjoy painstakingly complete coverage.
7. Stock market foibles and fillips usually lead.
8. Celebrity sports figures and big teams hit the top of that day's news budget.
9. A string of three convenience store burglaries will see exhaustive coverage.
10. Photocopier breakdowns at the post office could be covered.
11. The mayor's task force on sewer separation will enjoy a complete report.
12. New business openings make a big splash.
13. "Local family related to the queen of England; stay tuned for details."
14. A documentary series focuses on drugs and crime in the trailer court.
15. Next week's school lunch menus are always described.
16. School board members are familiar faces on the news.
17. Inflation affecting building permits in the city is a huge story.
18. Last year's Super Bowl-winning coach is in town, requiring saturation coverage.
19. We read reports of more homeowners applying for concealed weapon permits, and/or installing security systems for protection.
20. A 1980 graduate of the local college, now a big star on an evening sitcom, is featured.
21. Top story: city task force debates community mission and vision.
22. Top story: city task force tackles downtown business climate.
23. Top story: city task force welcomes Lady Gaga to town.
24. Top story: city task force decries local prison overcrowding.
25. Top story: city task force holds pizza party for employees.
Award five points for each question answered "Always"; four points for "Usually"; three points for "Sometimes"; two points for "Seldom"; one point for "Never." Add points for these question categories:
Category One, Politics—Questions 1, 6, 11, 16, 21
Category Two, Money—Questions 2, 7, 12, 17, 22.
Category Three, Celebrity—Questions 3, 8, 13, 18, 23.
Category Four, Crime—Questions 4, 9, 14, 19, 24.
Category Five, Mundane—Questions 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.
Category score: 20-25. Very high. Your local news operation's version of reality probably gives unrealistic emphasis to this particular kind of news, at the expense of other stories. Usually this is done by design, either for ratings (crime and celebrities), by tradition (politics and money), for or a position among competing media (mundane).
Score: 15-19: Your news operation tends to favor such stories but feels a sense of responsibility or a need to attract as large an audience as possible by covering other kinds of news as well. Many local news operations fall into this range.
Score 10-14: Your news operation tries to please competing groups by asserting no clear discernable view. This may be seen as more "fair" or "objective," but sometimes journalists who do not demonstrate a clear view of reality may not leave viewers or readers a clear sense of "what they're all about." The most successful national news publications—The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, or CNN—clearly show their particular views of reality.
Score: 5-9: Your news operation tends to ignore or underreport this kind of news, perhaps by design, but more often inadvertently, as it just doesn't fit into operation's the view of reality. Some newspeople, for instance, find celebrity stories beneath their purview, although the obvious power of the celebrity draw nowadays make such a viewpoint more and more something from your grandparents' generation. Larger newspapers will consciously ignore the mundane category as outside their purview, and therefore left as scraps to be scraped off the round file and into the operations that thrive on category five. Usually these are smaller weekly newspapers, which will probably score poorly in politics, money, and crime.

The sign above the Chinese Club's scarlet storefront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, says "Est. 1914," although its doors opened only in March. More than a century and 7,500 miles separate it from its ancestor, the Chinese Club of Darjeeling, in the Himalayan foothills of eastern India.
According to "A Concise History of the Darjeeling District Since 1835," published in 1917 by a British expatriate, the original club was built on the town's Jail Road. There, Chinese migrant workers would "congregate every night indulging in potations of much chow and a little harmless gambling."
The club's founder was Lo Fung Foo, an immigrant from southern China and great-grandfather to Stacey Lo, who oversees the Brooklyn outpost with her husband, Salil Mehta. Relics of "harmless gambling" hang on a wall up front: mah-jongg tiles passed down by Ms. Lo's grandmother.
To passers-by, the place may appear to be a straightforward (if self-consciously kitschy) Chinese restaurant, with its tumbling water fountain, happy-cat mural and red paper lanterns. But the food is as Chinese as General Tso's chicken. This is diaspora cuisine, adapted by immigrant chefs for outsiders' palates and slowly filtered through another nation's consciousness.
So here are hon-shimeji mushrooms, battered, deep-fried and lashed with butter, salt, pepper and warming Chinese five-spice powder. More five-spice adorns nubs of soft-shell crab, alongside Indian chaat masala, whose sour-sweet vectors include amchoor (green mango powder), oniony asafetida and black cumin with its soul of smoke.
Chicken wings, slit at the narrow end so the meat can be peeled back and gathered into fat lollipop heads, emerge coppery from the fryer, with a gloriously shaggy crust. They taste of sesame oil, white pepper and an under-scorch of deggi mirch (Kashmiri chile powder).
One menu item comes with the warning — or enticement — "Not what you think." This could apply to almost every dish, like mapo paneer, which bears no kinship to its Sichuan counterpart despite the ostensible presence of fermented black beans and Sichuan peppercorn. (Still, paneer is a worthy rival to tofu, giving as much flavor as it takes.)
Likewise estranged is kung pao chicken, the meat steeped in deggi mirch, fennel, paprika and sulfur-tinged kala namak (black salt) and baked tandoori-style, then quickened in a wok with more traditional kung pao ingredients. What tilts the balance is an unfortunate slug of ketchup.
The use of ketchup may be true to Indian-Chinese cooking, but it raises the question: Is authenticity enough? I can't say that the American-Chinese food I ate so happily as a child was good; I know only that I loved it, and that I'll never taste its like again. These, too, may be dishes that require the halo of nostalgia.
Then again, my companions, who grew up eating Indian-Chinese food in India, were as puzzled as I was. Perhaps compromises are being made for local diners.
Desserts are crowd-pleasers: coconut ice cream armored in fried noodles, crunchy and creamy, earthy and sweet, or styled as a parade float, atop a Chinese bubble waffle speared with Pocky sticks and littered with Fruity Pebbles, lychee, candied fennel and spongy translucent palm seeds — ridiculous and delicious.
Ms. Lo, 29, was born in Darjeeling and raised in Calcutta and New York; Mr. Mehta, 30, grew up in New Delhi and studied design at Parsons. For them, food is a kind of inheritance: His family once owned a Punjabi sweets shop, and her family runs two Indian-Chinese restaurants in Queens.
They married straight out of college, and in 2010 took over the acclaimed Malaysian restaurant Laut in Union Square, signing the contract the day after their first child was born.
I wish I could have tasted Mr. Mehta's cooking. He was absent from the kitchen when I visited (he spends half his time at Laut), and whoever was in charge had an unsteady hand. One night, paneer was fried to the point of desiccation; on another, orbs of Manchurian fritters were icy cold at the center.
Service was drifty, too. On each visit, at least one dish I ordered was forgotten. When I asked what "velvet" sauce was, the waitress said, "Nobody has ever ordered that." (It turned out to be a simple union of white wine and egg whites, Cantonese cooking at its mildest.)
One dish, a tangle of maifun noodles with masala, evolved from a recipe that Mr. Mehta improvised for his wife at home. If only that version were available. For the restaurant, he explained, he omits shrimp paste and adds ketchup.
"Oh, no," I wanted to say. "Don't go easy on us."

VECHRO : A Greek Industry with 68 years of Color History !
VECHRO is the 1st company in Sales and Certifications of Ecological products in the Greek market and 3rd in Europe since 96 of its products are certified by the European Ecolabel. VECHRO's factory facilities (of 9000 sqm) are located in Petra Viotias, in a privately owned land of 6.4 acres, while the company's central offices are located in Athens 302 Liosion Ave., Attica. VECHRO has a steady rising course, expanding every year its share in the Greek market (being the 3rd largest paint and varnish industry in Greece), while the company is well known by the Greek consumers as the industry with both high-quality products and perfect technical support in all fields, helping all its customers (professionals and non) to avoid expensive paint applications, leading them to select the ideal (according to their needs) paint and protection system for every interior or exterior surface.
The Greek paint industry VECHRO was in the top Greek Brands for 2016!
VECHRO was among the top Corporate Brands in Greece for 2016 in the Building Materials category. This promotion took place in the framework of the Superbrands, which takes place every year in 91 countries worldwide. The promotion of VECHRO is the result of voting by both a jury of experts and the public itself by conducting a public opinion poll.
We say our goodbyes to 2016 with another important nomination for our company and products, which we are very grateful and proud. This was a big honor because this nomination came from the Greek consumers themselves. In particular, VECHRO's Smaltox Water Stop was nominated and then awarded by Greek consumers as the DIY Product of the Year for 2016 in the category "Building Materials" at the 9th DIY & Home Improvement Conference held on December 1st at Maroussi Plaza Center.
Another year of distinction for VECHRO and Smaltoplast Silk, which was voted and nominated as the "DIY product of the year 2013" by the Greek consumers at the "Innovation" category.
VECHRO signs a strategic importance cooperation agreement with the biggest "player" in the Greek DIY market - Praktiker Hellas, giving, in this way, to the consumers the opportunity to find and buy VECHRO's products through Praktiker's stores, as well. In the framework of this cooperation, VECHRO proceeds to the manufacturing of Praktiker Hellas' OwnBrand products.
VECHRO is once again a pioneer in its field, by Certifying - 1st in Europe - Qualities of Ecological paints for Exterior Surfaces (Smaltoplast 100% Acrylic).
Having reached the 46 certifications, VECHRO innovates by offering - first, in Europe - a paint which is, at the same time, Ecological - Hypoallergic - Antifungal, ensuring cleaner and more hygienic living areas. The product Smaltoplast Silk has high certifications and valid experimental controls by the European Union, the British Allergy Foundation (Allergy UK) and by Great Britain's Paint Research Association.
The European Union has already certified 15 VECHRO products including Smaltoplast Extra & Smaltolux Hydro.
A landmark year in VECHRO history. The management of the company decides to orient the production of ecological products, foreseeing the need to protect both the environment and the consumer. Despite the initial reservations of the market and doubt of the competitors, VECHRO leads the way that will be later on gradually followed by the rest of the companies adopting ecological colors. At the same time, the mottoes "Think Ecologically-Paint Ecologically" and "No1 Company in sales and accreditations of ecological paints", characterize VECHRO's communication policy.
Completion of the investment in the expansion of the factory, which led to:
-doubling production capacity
-reducing operating costs
-total automation of production and improvement of factory layout.
The second generation of the Chatzinickola family is actively involved in the company boosting-along with its experienced personnel-the dynamic development of the company.
Ioannis P. Chatzinickolas, Sales Manager of the French company back then, buys its share and the company becomes- and has remained since then- purely Greek.
The factory plant is moved to Petra in Viotia (25km Thivon-Livadias).
The remarkable development of the company draws the attention of foreign investors and, as a result, VECHRO is bought off by the French company Societe Francaise Duco.
VECHRO - a Greek paint and varnish manufacturing company aiming at the production and distribution of high quality products in the Greek market - is founded.

DIRKS, Harmkea 1866-1936
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 4/6/2017 at 13:58:43
Mrs. E. H. Dirks Died Monday At The Hospital
Mrs. E. H. Dirks, who resided in Grundy county for 68 years, died at the Marshalltown hospital at eight o'clock Monday morning from uremic poisoning. While her health had not been good for several years, it was only during the past month that her condition became serious. She was taken to the hospital for treatment last Friday, but there was nothing that specialists there could do other than to give her slight temporary relief.
A short funeral service will be held at the home in Grundy Center at 1 o'clock Thursday. Later there will be service at the Colfax Presbyterian church. Rev. George Swalve, the local pastor, will have charge of the services. He will preach in English. Former pastor J. E. Drake will deliver a sermon in German. Burial will be in the Drake church cemetery.
Harmkea S. Dirks, nee Saathoff, was born October 29, 1866, in Shannon, Illinois, and came to Grundy county, Iowa, in 1868 where she had always lived.
She was married to her now bereaved husband, E. H. Dirks, on March 13, 1884, by Rev. B. Vanderlas. They journeyed together for more than 52 years. She and her husband joined the Holland Presbyterian church 50 years ago.
Their union was blessed with four children. One little girl died in infancy and the youngest son, Cornelius, 33 years old, died 5 years ago.
She leaves beside her bereaved husband, one son, John, an only daughter, Annie, Mrs. Andrew Franken and a son-in-law, Andrew Franken, a daughter-in-law, Ella Dirks, and six grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends.
She died at the Marshalltown hospital after long suffering on August 17 at 8 a.m., attaining the age of 69 years, 9 months and 19 days.
--The Grundy Register (Grundy Center, Iowa), 20 August 1936, pg 12

Divorce is a hard decision that impacts all aspects of a person and his or her family.
The closure of a chapter in life is in itself a great emotional challenge, but divorce also involves many practical issues that must be resolved. For example, if the couple has minor children, a custody regime has to be decided: who the children will live with and what the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent will be. Also, the economic aspects of a divorce should be determined: division of marital property, and spousal and child support. At this critical moment, when your future economic conditions will be determined (and, if you have children, your relationship with them), it is very important that you have the support and advice of a Florida divorce attorney to ensure that your rights are upheld.
Notwithstanding the filing of a divorce action, generally, the resolution of divorce can follow two paths: the negotiation of an agreement, or the legal process of a contested divorce.

Neapolitan street food is one of the best and most traditional street food of the whole Italian culture. Unlike other cities, in Naples street food is not an innovation due to accelerated pace of modern life: it is something strongly rooted in the culture of the city.
1700: small houses, not everyone could afford a kitchen at home and the poorest fed with small meals in the streets that were never guaranteed: all of this implied the born of Neapolitan street food. It was already common to eat on the street, reinventing leftover of food such as bread dough. In fact, the Tarallo could be taken as a symbol of Neapolitan street food. It is made of dough, pork fat and pepper and it is still one of the most loved form of street food, for its simplicity and tastiness.
Another of the most important Neapolitan street foods is pizza, especially the "wallet" one. It is a pizza smaller that the normal size, folded in a peculiar way – "a portafoglio", that means "as a wallet". It can be easily eaten without cutlery and, if you are in a hurry, you can even eat it while walking.
Most of the other kinds of Neapolitan street food are fried. In addition to fried pizza, in Naples are sold also "cuoppi". The cuoppo is a cone of paper filled with fried food. There are "sea" versions, with shrimps, squids, fishes and seaweed pancakes and "earth" versions with crisps, vegetables and fried mozzarella.
Another popular food is the "frittata". It is not a simple omelette: the real Neapolitan omelette include pasta, peas and meat and is served in round, flattened and easily portable shape. Recently, the "frittata" has become subject of experimentation: even if it is always with egg and pasta, in some street food stores you can taste different recipes, including formulas suitable for vegetarians. Someone experiments also the sweet kinds.
"O pere e o musso" (literaly, "the foot and the muzzle") is another traditional street food of Naples. It is something that you can eat while walking: the tripe of pork and veal boiled and served cold, in small pieces and seasoned with salt and lemon.
These foods are truly loved by Neapolitans who do not eat them only as a snack but also as a rich appetizer.

2012 - Week 13 vs New York Giants
Blognosticator - Skinsorlando
Until recently, I have reserved the utmost level of venom for a specific team in Dallas. In fact, I�d still argue that the blood-curdling, absolute putrid disgust and disdain is still deeply rooted in all things Cowpukes.
However, this week brings us to the Giants, and that presents an interesting proposition. I dislike them. Extremely. And by dislike, I mean I hope that the Mara family suffers from chronic diarrhea and is forced to eat nothing but apricots.
The cap penalty fiasco, scenario, punishment or as I prefer to refer to it, chicken****, drastically changed my opinion on the boys in Jersey who play for NY. I think that one of Mara�s quotes shortly after the chicken**** says much more about the motive behind it.
�They're lucky they didn�t lose draft picks.�
Yes, we all read it, yes, it caused the blood pressure in Skins land to jump to stroke-level proportions, and yes, he�s an ass****.
What that really boils down to is Mara, after seeing we would land RG3, was scared, and in backdoor dealings tried to squirrel the trade after it was in effect.
And he should have been scared. If not for a last second defensive, shall we say, �lapse� in coverage (this would more easily be referred to as wtf are they doing), the Giants would presently be 6-5 or one game ahead of us going into the Monday night game.
Yeah, I�d have to change my tampon too if I was faced with the reality of RG3 owning the division for the next 10-15 years, and would want as harsh a penalty as possible too under those circumstances.
What does all this mean for our Monday night showdown in D.C.? Well, we--as in the only-team-that-actually-matters Washington Redskins--sit at 5-6, with two huge wins in a row, and are riding a wave of positive momentum and sit only one game under .500.
Kyle Shanahan's recent play calling has been shall I say much-improved, or more logical, and the results are showing. RB Alfred Morris continues to be the steal of the draft as he is nearing 1000 yards, and more importantly, the guys legs never stop churning for tough yards.
At wide receiver, Pierre Gar�on is now healthy, or close to healthy, and is a flat-out player. Santana Moss� resurgence as a 3rd-down option and slot receiver has worked as planned (one would have a valid argument to say better), and Aldrick �Here�s to you Mrs." Robinson "did you know your son is really fast?� needs to keep blazing downfield.
Watching RG3 play quarterback is like watching all the pieces of a symphony played by one individual. He�s not just as good as advertised; to quote Dr. Dre, �He�s the real deal Holyfield, and now you sucka�s and *** know how it feels�.
If Kyle continues to scheme well and his play calling stays at this level, the Giant�s defense is in for a long day. The Giant�s are 1-2 in their last 3 games and I expect a let down for them after the shellacking they gave Green Bay. The Giants inconsistency this time of year is epic, and I think the emotional high from the Green Bay game will make them overconfident, which is to our advantage.
Then again, there�s our defense. They face a Giants team which can produce points and move the chains when they�re clicking and Eli Manning is on.
As previously stated, they stole one due to apparent rectal cranium syndrome (head in ***) by our secondary in the last meeting. It�s hard to judge the defense this year. Losing two starters early and not having S Brandon Merriweather has left some glaring holes in a defense was already suspect.
I was vastly intrigued by the play of the defense in the first half against Dallas; it was like everything was finally starting to become cohesive. Of course, there are two halves of football, and the defense in the second half was blatantly bland, generic and overall vomitous. I feel that falls on the defensive coordinator for running numerous soft zone coverages when he barely gets front defensive pressure. That is a recipe to do, what�s that you say, oh yeah ... almost give up a 25 point lead.
The defense scares me when Haslett apparently forgets the object is to KEEP the opponent from scoring, and that topic has been discussed ad nauseum so we�ll wrap this up.
Skins 31 � Giants 23.
I just don�t think that their defense will keep up with a heavy dose of Morris pounding the rock and eating the clock, RG3 playing smart and spectacular football and, hopefully, Haslett reaching down deep and finding those things he forget so often, his balls.

A motorcycle can be a big financial investment which means you'll want to take care of it. There are some precautions you should take to prep your bike for the end of the season. One of the simplest things any motorcycle owner can do when storing their bike it to invest in a good cover.
Protect Your Bike
If you have to store your bike, especially outside, it's important to use a motorcycle cover to protect it from the elements. Wind and rain can do some serious damage to an engine over time. A motorcycle cover is easy to store and travel with to ensure that you can always ready to protect your bike when the need is.
If you have to store your motorcycle inside, especially for a long period of time, using a cover will help protect it from dust. A simple tarp can give you some coverage but a custom-made motorcycle cover will offer the most protection and a little style as well.
Motorcycle covers use a lot of fabric, but the construction of the cover is simple. If you can sew a hem you can make a motorcycle cover. A sewing machine will make quick work of this project. Since these covers are meant to be protective it's important for the fabric to be sturdy and waterproof.
Creating the Side Pattern
- Measure the length of the motorcycle, add 2" to the length to allow for easy removal of the cover.
- Measure the height at various areas of the length, marking them as you measure them, to create a pattern as shown in the photo.
- Add 1" to the bottom of the side pattern.
- Cut 2 of the side pattern.
Center Pattern Piece
- Measure the widest area of the motorcycle. Allow 3" extra inches to the width (2" for ease and 1" for seam allowances).
- Measure the top edges of the side pattern piece, 1/4" from the pattern edge. This is the length of the center of the cover.
- Cut 1 of the center -- the length (of the center) by the width.

Two Pierce employees that chose the path of on-the-job training over university are celebrating new industry qualifications.
Adam Zinga has gained the internationally recognised AAT qualification while working as an accounts assistant at the firm while Philip Johnson has obtained a foundation degree in payroll management.
Adam commented: "Professional experience counts for everything nowadays, so I opted to combine a role in industry with study rather than going to university. By combining AAT with my work at Pierce, I've essentially had the theory and the practical at the same time. Critically though, I've gained a lot of client service experience which is absolutely invaluable. It feels great to be qualified and have my skills recognised."
Adam's key role at Pierce is helping clients integrate cloud software into their business ahead of the introduction of Making Tax Digital in April 2019.
Adam added: "Cloud software packages are popular with our clients as they save time and make their jobs easier. Myself and other members of the online services team at Pierce are constantly attending webinars and courses to boost our knowledge of software packages to keep ahead of the game and so we can advise all of our clients accordingly."
Philip started working at Pierce as an apprentice and through his hard work, skill and determination, he has progressed in his career, becoming assistant payroll manager whilst completing his foundation degree with the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP).
Philip's qualification enhances the expertise within the payroll department and provides him with a greater understanding of management skills.
Philip said: "I've learnt so much from my foundation degree and it has provided me with the right skills and experience to assist the payroll manager with day-to-day management. The qualification has also enabled me to advise clients on legislation including the apprenticeship levy, payrolling benefits in kind and auto-enrolment."
John Green, chairman of Pierce said: "Adam and Philip have put in lots of extra time to study outside work so we're delighted that they've gained their qualifications. The combination of AAT training and structured in-house mentoring here at Pierce has given them a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise that we are sure will benefit our clients.
"As a business, we have a strong emphasis on training our staff. As well as appointing qualified professionals, we also offer quality training opportunities for graduates as well as apprentices looking for an exciting and motivating career."

Fairly good article explaining why Katy Perry sing-talking while holding a slice of watermelon between her long manicured fingernails and her hair up in a twist braid might — just might — be problematic. Backed up with a lot of evidence and a clear, clean writing style.
But I mean really... where's our White History Month, you guys? Where is it? The Magnited States of America is already completely non-racist, so just stop.

text: Birding and Wildlife Trails exist in many countries, and have demonstrated how we can successfully connect communities with birds and their habitats in a way that benefits both people and our feathered friends. Avitourism – or birding ecotourism – has taken off as a concept and practice around the world. From Texas (https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wildlife/wildlife-trails/) to Virginia, these trails have had a significant impact on the economy of local communities, encouraged improvements in birding amenities, and raised the profile and importance of birds and their conservation. Internationally, birding trails are under development from Costa Rica to the Caribbean (http://www.caribbeanbirdingtrail.org/). Participating communities serve birders through providing lodging and meals, trail and site signing and maps, and associated birding infrastructure. If haven't been on a birding trail, find one near you; if you don't have a birding or wildlife trail in your state or country, get one started. It's a win-win situation for all species, including ours!

"Air rage" incidents on UK airlines have quadrupled over a three-year period, according to Civil Aviation Authority data.
The figures show 386 dangerous incidents were logged in 2015, compared to just 85 in 2013.
The head of a leading budget operator has now called for people who cause trouble on flights to be banned from flying.
It is an arrestable offence to be drunk on a plan or to defy a captain's instructions, however, according to CAA examples, revealed by the BBC, many passengers flagrantly disobeyed the law.
Some examples include disruptive passengers fighting each other and one passenger who had to be restrained during the flight after "progressively disruptive behaviour" before attempting to open the plane door.
One passenger had to be restrained by four policemen due to his "uncontrollable and verbally abusive" behaviour.
In July, aviation minister Lord Ahmad announced he would look into the way in which alcohol was sold in airports. However, he has not yet released his findings.
However, following an emergency diversion when a passenger became abusive earlier this year, budget airline Jet 2 introduced as ban on in-flight alcohol sales before 8am.
Jet 2 managing director Phil Ward admitted however that the problem was often more complex often involving a British binge-drinking culture.
He said: "You can see it every day where people are drinking pints at six in the morning.
"I'm not trying to spoil people's holidays at all, but it's not normal to drink a pint at six in the morning and that then manifests itself on board the plane where the alcohol takes a greater effect."
Ward's Jet 2 has already banned 22 offenders for life this year alone and now he's supporting a push for a centralised database to allow for bans to span the industry.
He said: "I think it would act as a very strong deterrent – and, in fact, there is some work with all the airlines together going on to bring that to the table, to see if that can be correctly arranged between us all."
"It's not going to happen overnight but it's something we've all agreed is a good practical solution, we just need to work out how to do it between us consistently, so that it's managed correctly."
More than 250 million passengers pass through UK airports every year, with close to two million flights, and the number of disruptive passengers remains fractional.

Well acclaimed actress Amanda Seyfried and her now husband Thomas Sadoski have welcomed their first baby together!
A rep announced that indeed, the two are parents now, as Amanda Seyfried gave birth to a very healthy baby girl!
Congrats! They must be so happy about becoming parents, especially because they are also newlyweds and love is in the air!
As fans may already know, the birth confirmation comes just a week after Sadoski admitted that he and Amanda got married in secret, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. According to the happy husband and father, the ceremony was intimate and short, and pretty much everything they ever wanted.
After all, the wedding is not so important – what really matters is the life they now have together as husband and wife.
The engagement was confirmed last September after Amanda was photographed wearing a diamond ring on the left hand's ring finger while she was walking her beloved dog, Finn on the streets of New York. We are sure the fans were excited to see the beautiful actress in a white wedding gown but in the end, the couple decided to be unconventional with their ceremony and just elope.
About becoming a mother for the first time, Amanda Seyfried told Vogue Australia that: "I've never been excited by anything more in my life — and ready."
The happy parents first met in 2015 while co-starring in the off-Broadway show The Way We Get By but only started dating once they were reunited on the set of yet another project, the upcoming film The Last Word.
Their relationship was confirmed in March of last year.

Arthritis is one of the most common conditions in America
So common in fact, that about one in seven people have it. While it's considered to be a disease of the elderly, the reality is that people of all ages suffer from arthritis. The term arthritis is used to describe over 100 different illnesses, but most types of arthritis fall into two general subsets, based on their underlying cause.
-Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by inflammation in the joints, and can affect people of all ages. It is often associated with autoimmune issues.
-Osteoarthritis is most commonly related to the aging process, and is caused by the deterioration of the cartilage in your joints from age, overuse, or injury.
Conventional treatments for Rheumatoid arthritis may include anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications, and dietary and lifestyle changes. For Osteoarthritis, treatment includes pain medications, controlled exercise, and for some, joint replacement surgery.
Arthritis is painful and can negatively affect your quality of life, and in many cases conventional Western treatments don't offer much relief. As a result, many people who suffer from this condition turn to acupuncture and Chinese medicine for help—for good reason. Recent research, including that done at the Mayo Clinic, has documented that acupuncture can offer pain relief for a variety of conditions, including joint pain.
The Chinese medicine approach to arthritis
In the realm of Chinese medicine, your arthritis is considered to be something called a Bi Syndrome—a term that describes the obstruction of circulation, loss of range of motion, and pain in the joint. To your acupuncturist, not all Bi Syndromes are created equal, and your treatment plan would depend on the underlying cause of the problem. For example, if your arthritis feels more painful and heavy in the cold and damp weather, your treatment would involve a different strategy than if your arthritis was producing hot and swollen joints. In addition, your achy joints don't exist in a vacuum; the overall state of your health is also considered when being treated by Chinese medicine. Treatment for arthritis depends on your specific set of symptoms, and may include acupuncture (with or without electric stimulation), Chinese herbs, dietary therapy, heat therapy, and lifestyle changes.
In addition, there are some things that you can do at home to help you feel better, based on the philosophy of Chinese medicine. They include:
- Move your body. For most people, exercise keeps your joints moving and improves your range of motion. Also, being in better physical shape helps decrease your pain. One caveat: if the exercise you're doing aggravates the pain, stop and find an activity that's gentler on your joints.
- Warm it up. In Chinese medicine, pain relief is all about increasing your circulation. When you apply heat, it opens up the blood vessels in the area and loosens up the surrounding muscles. Try applying a heating pad or a warm moist towel to your painful joints for about ten minutes.
- Pay attention to stress. High levels of chronic stress aggravate your pain, tense up your muscles, and increase your levels of inflammation. Do whatever it takes—meditation, music, or an enjoyable hobby—to help manage the stress in your life.
- If you're overweight, think about slimming down. The pressure from excess weight can aggravate your pain and increase the damage to your joints, and is considered to be a risk factor for developing osteoarthritis in the first place.

Annu ennui
March 19, 2010
Identities and resulting crises are not new to humanity nor is migration. Every single person on the planet except those still on the plains of Kenya is a product of a migration. This brings with it an unsettling and a certain amount of uprootedness.
Columbus, 500 years on, might be at the heart of all this brouhaha yet, with Annu Palakunnathu Matthew's show of photographs indicating to us in India that all those who followed Christopher into the melting pot still cant quite tell who the Indian is. Will the real slim shady please stand up, please stand up?
Some years ago Stephen Kapur reminded us that he was an Apache Indian living in Brighton or Birmingham or something Punjabi sounding like that. Ms. Matthew Malayalee is keen to indicate that if its a dot, then duh, its indian from curry land and if its a feather, then there is a reservation on your scalp.
The photographs might have been entertaining Cindy Sherman or Pushpamalaesque, in no small measure due to the captions which are deprecating and patronising with their original collonial overbearingness. Ms. Matthew somehow trivialises the issues of background, where she substitutes herself most often into a vintage photograph repudiating the history of the 'noble savage'. Words like 'diaspora', speaking of indians in search of a brighter economic future devalue the jewish experience; and 'gaze' and 'conceptual' trip too easily off a wanna be intellectuality. Deshi goes mod.
In addition to ABCD and brown being the new red, this is yet another tale of a legal alien, an indian in new york.
……and Memories of India made with a Holga, (yawn), hi-brow cavorting as anti-brow are good enough to join the millions of other cultists on Flickr.
