Hot Spots benchmarking global city competitiveness
Citi-commissioned EIU report ranks competitiveness of 120 of world's major cities
General News
NEW YORK, NY A new Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) research report, commissioned by Citi, reveals that New York, London and Singapore rank first, second and third in competitiveness, out of 120 of the world's major cities. Released today, the report, entitled Hot Spots, ranks the most competitive cities in the world for their demonstrated ability to attract capital, business, talent and tourists.
"Cities are engines of prosperity and innovation and we are committed to partnering with them to help reach their full potential. But as cities vie for investment, talent and business, we recognize that competitiveness is about more than growth," said Citi CEO Vikram Pandit. "We commissioned this report to improve understanding of market competitiveness and to identify where growth, opportunity and talent are likely to be found in the decades ahead. Its findings provide valuable insight for clients, institutions, and municipalities we serve in cities around the world."
"Economic dynamism is definitely rising elsewhere, especially in Asian cities, but U.S. and European cities have legacy advantages that give them a strong competitive edge," said Leo Abruzzese, the EIU's global forecasting director. "In particular, these developed cities are better at attracting top talent from across the world."
With a combined population of about 750 million, the 120 cities ranked in Hot Spots represent approximately 29 percent of the global economy and generated a combined GDP of US$20.24 trillion in 2011.
According to the report, the ten most competitive cities in the world are: New York (1st), London (2nd), Singapore (3rd), Paris and Hong Kong (joint 4th), Tokyo, (6th), Zurich (7th), Washington, DC (8th), Chicago (9th), and Boston (10th).
The Global City Competitiveness Index
For Hot Spots, the EIU developed a "Global City Competitiveness Index" that measures cities across eight distinct categories of competitiveness and 31 individual indicators. Categories include economic strength, human capital, institutional effectiveness, financial maturity, global appeal, physical capital, social and cultural character and environment and natural hazards. A city's overall ranking in the benchmark Index is a weighted score of the underlying categories.
Since no one city excels in every category, a diverse range of cities ranks first in each of the eight categories: Tianjin (economic strength); Dublin (human capital), Zurich (joint first in financial maturity and institutional effectiveness; social and cultural character); Vancouver (joint first physical capital); London (global appeal) and Montreal (environment and natural hazards).
Key findings include:
The most significant advantage that developed country cities hold is their ability to develop and attract the world's top talent. European and American cities dominate the human capital category of the Index, as they are able to continue to attract capital, businesses, talent and tourists despite concerns over ageing infrastructure and large budget deficits. It will be key for these Western cities to harness their legacy advantages and global connectivity to continue to compete and succeed against fast-growing emerging market cities.
- 11 of the top 30 cities are European: London (2nd), Paris (4th), Zurich (7th), Frankfurt (11th), Geneva (joint 13th), Amsterdam (17th), Stockholm (joint 20th), Copenhagen (joint 23rd), Vienna (joint 25th), Dublin (27th) and Madrid (28th).
- 10 of the top 30 are U.S. cities: New York, Washington, DC (8th), Chicago (9th), Boston (10th), San Francisco (joint 13th), Los Angeles (19th), Houston (joint 23rd), Dallas (joint 25th), Seattle (29th) and Philadelphia (30th).
Asia's economic rise is reflected in the economic competitiveness of its cities: In terms of "economic strength," the most highly weighted category, 15 of the top 20 cities are in Asia. Twelve are in China. Tianjin, Shenzhen and Dalian top the list, while nine other Chinese cities rank in the top 20. Singapore (15th), Bangalore (16th), Ahmedabad (19th) and Hanoi (joint 20th) complete the top 20. The top 32 Asian cities are all forecast to grow by at least 5% annually between now and 2016. Twelve of them will grow by at least 10%.
A "middle tier" of mid-size cities is emerging as a key driver of global growth: Although most companies target a combination of advanced economies and emerging market megacities, the fastest overall growth is found in a middle tier of mid-sized cities with populations of 2m-5m such as Abu Dhabi, Bandung, Dalian, Hangzhou, Hanoi, Pune, Qingdao and Surabaya. In fact, just nine of the 23 megacities (with populations over 10 million) ranked in the top 30 on economic strength. These mid-size cities are collectively forecast to grow by 8.7% annually over the next five years, ahead of the megacities on which many firms focus.
Infrastructure investments will drive emerging market growth, but more will be needed to secure their attractiveness to tomorrow's talent: One of the most pressing challenges for emerging market cities in the decades ahead will be whether they can focus their development not just on skyscrapers, rail links and other infrastructure, but also on the softer aspects that will be crucial to their ability to attract and develop tomorrow's talent including education, quality of life, and personal freedoms, among other things. In addressing these aspects of competitiveness, cities in Latin America and Africa including Buenos Aires (ranked 60th), Johannesburg (67th) and Cape Town (73rd) can quickly improve their performance in the ranking.

The Paris Hilton Sleazy Boyfriend Pool
By Dana Flax
Forgive us, Paris Hilton, but we have to admit that your recent reunion with Doug Reinhardt left us a bit disappointed. Not necessarily because he suspiciously smells of Tool Water, but mainly because we've long counted on you as the veritable revolving door of new sleazy boyfriends. So, in the name of nostalgia, let's look back at the many fine young gentleman who've courted the planet's most popular socialite. We give you: The Paris Hilton Hall of Man Trophies.
The relationship between Paris and Benji Madden almost seemed like it would work, seeing as her old BFF Nicole Richie had already snatched up Benji's brother Joel. And wouldn't a "Simple Life" season featuring Good Charlotte babies have been, like, hot? That wish, along with this relationship, was just too good to be true.

Really disappointed with Bargnani
He's in the game for scoring reasons and he's not doing that anymore. 48 48 minutes and 19 points is disappointing, especially only 8 rebounds. In only 19 minutes Ed Davis had 9 rebounds. His pick and roll D has been very awful.

This game should have ended in regulation to begin with. Derozan and Kleiza were the hot hands throughout the game, Kleiza fouled out, so we had to pretty much feed Derozan all night. Bargnani missed some really easy shots around the rim on his post up moves, he didn't chuck a lot of outside shots, or deep 2's. Most of his misses were in the paint, and he did get to the freethrow line more than anyone else.
Simply put it wasn't his night. Derozan was fantastic though, reminded me of Vintage Carter in his best years. |

I'm not gonna pile on Bargnani. He started out the gates hot,we've seen this before. I think he needs to create a half time rutual or something so he gets off to the same start in the second half. He rebounded,did some good things that didn't make the stat sheet.
At the same time,I think his time may need to be up as a Raptor. He just felt none exsistent in the late and crucial moments of the game. I really would like Millsap as the Raptors starting PF even more than ever after tonight,he hustles and he can even make the 3 too(was 3/4 tonight). Bargs just seems to be regressing for some reason,maybe a change of scenery is best for him and the Raps,just a thought |

I also wonder if the potential for a calf strain was leaning on his mind after the first OT session. |

His hedging late in the game was turrible. Only once did I see him actually cut Mo off and make him change direction. Every other time, Mo blew by to the rim resulting in a wide open shot for somebody. And to make things worse, Bargs wouldn't hustle back to cover his man, leading to at least one putback by Favors. I only watched the 4th quarter and the overtimes, so not sure how much better he was throughout the rest of the game, but that poor help D is nothing more than a lack of hustle/heart.
Really disappointing to see, especially since he was giving us nothing on offense. In my book, his poor play late in the game cost us the game, more so than DD's poor shots at the end and Casey's (once again) questionable rotation. |

disappointed is an understatement. He wasn't moving period on defense or offense in OT when you need to step up. It was like he tired which I believe what was the case he used all his energy in the first 4 quarters.

This is how Bargnani's been. The only reason he's still here is our narcissist of a GM drafted him first overall. Any other franchise would have given up on him already and either traded him or dramatically reduced his role. His entire tenure as a Raptor has been the team trying to cover up for his deficiencies instead of forcing him to fix them.

Anyone still think he's an all-star? Remember last season after 13 games and I said I needed to see more from him and I got flamed......"What more do you need, he'll never get credit around here. Nothing he does is good enough".
This is why. |

You can't focus on all-star status. From the standpoint of play so far, Lowry and DD have put up all-star numbers. For instance, DD is first in the East among SGs in PPG. Even if this continued to the all-star break he wouldn't make it because it's a popularity contest.
In my opinion, all things considered, Bargnani has proven all he can be is a 6th man on a marginal playoff team. He basically plays like Kleiza. Ride him if he's hot, bench him if he's not. This is made worse by his frustrating tendency to give you nothing at all when he isn't the focus of the offense. |

On Saturday, October 26, members of the Henrietta Kiwanis Club and RIT Circle K, a community service-based club for students, joined forces for �Make a Difference Day,� an annual event in the Town of Henrietta that encourages residents to give back to their community.
Armed with buckets, rakes, sponges and more, the group spent several hours cleaning Expressive Beginnings Childcare inside and out. In addition to cleaning the classrooms, the group washed windows, raked the playground, framed the children�s artwork and trimmed rose bushes. 2013 marks the second year that Henrietta Kiwanis and RIT Circle K teamed up for Make a Difference Day.

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) recently approved a restructured observer program that extends observer coverage to Alaska's small boat fleet. With the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) taking over observer deployment, the industry-funded restructured program increases the cost of an observer day from the current $400 to approximately $1,000.
Fourteen fishing organizations representing fishermen from Seattle to Kodiak signed a letter asking NMFS for programmatic changes to control costs, prioritizing observer coverage for high bycatch fisheries and provide Electronic Monitoring (EM) as an alternative to human observers on small boats. For the past three years these same organizations have worked in good faith to develop tools that provide at-sea data from Alaska's previously unobserved, community based fishing vessels without causing fleet consolidation, job loss, or disruption of business operations. Fishermen have stated their willingness to pay for a program that adequately monitors bycatch and gathers at-sea data from previously unobserved fishing vessels — they simply asked for cost-effective deployment and an alternative that works on small boats. Alaska's Congressional delegation, Senators Murkowski and Begich and Congressman Young, supported the fishermen's request in a strongly worded letter to Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank, urging delayed deployment on small vessels until NMFS resolves outstanding deployment issues and implements EM. To date, the request has been ignored and NMFS apparently intends to implement the flawed program in 2013.
Our members are grateful to the Alaska delegation for their support and strong, clear policy directive to NMFS. Finally someone listened, understood, and acted. For three years we have voiced these same concerns to the NPFMC and NMFS with little effect. We continue to ask that NMFS increase coverage on fisheries with significant bycatch concerns and provide alternative monitoring tools before requiring observer coverage on small fishing vessels. Alaska's Congressional delegation deserves our industry's thanks for responding to the concerns of coastal fishermen.

"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson has spoken publicly for the first time since he was suspended by A&E for his anti-gay comments in GQ — and he isn't backing down.
"We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated. I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. But this week I have been called an ignoramus," he said, addressing a Bible study group in West Monroe Louisiana on Sunday (Dec. 22), The Daily Mail reports. "This week I have been asked, 'Is this the first time you have brought up sin?' I said, 'Are you kidding? I have been traveling to and fro spreading this message.' Then he said, 'Well do you invite yourself to go and get your Bible and tell people what you are now sharing with us?' I said, 'No, they are inviting me.'
"I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater," he continued. "I will not give or back off from my path because you conquered death, Father, so we are not worried about all the repercussions."
Following Robertson's suspension from the hit reality program, his family has publicly admitted they can't imagine moving forward with the show without him. Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz have leapt to his defense in recent days, while Charlie Sheen of all people has publicly denounced the "Duck Dynasty" star.

Nokia posts then pulls E-series phone vid
Movie showed unannounced E72 in action
Posted in Personal Tech, 15th June 2009 11:13 GMT
Nokia has let the cat out of the bag by accidentally posting a video on YouTube showing a new handset.
The video, now pulled, centres on the E72, an updated E71 that sports the same basic BlackBerry-like look but with some minor design tweaks.
That said, the camera has been upped from 3.2Mp to 5Mp, and the new model will seemingly run the latest version of Symbian, 3.2.
Alas, the video didn't let slip when the E72 will go on sale, or how much it'll cost when it does. The E71 was released almost a year ago, so it's not unreasonable to assume its successor's launch is imminent. ®

With tongue in cheek and gentle humor, "Up, Up and Away" follows the adventures of the Marshall family, who seem like any nice suburban family, but are, in fact, superheroes, which is a genetic trait. Nice light tone keeps "Up" from sinking, and cast, under star Robert Townsend's sure comedic direction, plays it just right.
With tongue in cheek and gentle humor, "Up, Up and Away" follows the adventures of the Marshall family, who seem like any nice suburban family, but are, in fact, superheroes, which is a genetic trait. Nice light tone keeps "Up" from sinking, and cast, under star Robert Townsend's sure comedic direction, plays it just right. Disney Channel original may keep the whole family in one spot for the first hour, but cardboard villains and tired plot may instigate some channel surfing later.
The critical 14th birthday of Scott Marshall (Michael J. Pagan) is swiftly approaching, and so far, he has not exhibited any superpowers — if he doesn't have any powers by then, he's not going to develop any at all. Even his bratty little sister has laser vision (which she uses to light the barbecue). Needless to say, Scott is extremely disappointed that he won't be able to join the family business. At the same time, Nina (Olivia Burnette) has written software that brainwashes adolescents, and her company, Earth Protectors, donates computers and software to Scott's entire eighth-grade class. But rather than brainwashing them into buying Britney Spears CDs (oh, sorry, that's already happened), they're told to recycle, eat tofu and protect the environment. But Nina's cohort, Malcolm (Kevin Connolly), has other ideas after he sees the program's success, and he hijacks the software in order to make billions. The Marshalls, in superhero mode, are lured into a trap set by Malcolm, but Scott, using his normal-powered brain, saves the day. It's a funny premise — the superhero family — that works quite well, especially at Scott's birthday party (a sort of superhero Bar Mitzvah) with all the guests being other superheroes. Townsend keeps the pace steady and the scenes with the family funny in a sweetly goofy way, yet there's only so much he can do with the hackneyed villains and story resolution.

You got that right John. Flying with all the people with like passions at VSC is an experience that lasts all year. It is so neat to see what others bring to fly. I wish I could go every year but I have missed a few and won't make it this year either. I have many friends that will be there so I can keep up with what is going on.
Yep, the friends are the best. Unfortunately the average age of control line guys is much older than typical RC guys and the bad part of that is that we lose some of our friends but their memories are treasures. I'm sure you head that I lost my flying mentor / teacher / friend recently with the passing of Mike Donovan. He won't make VSC this year but he will be there in spirit. I won't have him to fill me in so you may have to post about it when you get your info.
Mike was one of my very good friends also John. My wife and I spent many hours with Mike and Joan eating out at VSC and other contests. Mike was a great modeler, and loved this hobby. He built so many neat planes like the Galloping Comedian, Sig Mustang, El Diablo, and my favorite the Black Tiger. He was always positive and I will miss him a lot.
I knew you two were friends and I couldn't have said it better Jim. I was fortunate enough to have him as my teacher from day one and I flew most of his planes including those listed above. He really love the Black Tiger in particular but to be honest, I think he was at his best flying that old red El Diablo and later the yellow one. One thing many don't know is that way way way back in the late 70s Mike taught me to fly R/C when I was just a kid. Of course Mike few c/l prior to this and then went into R/C when it was first introduced. Many may know that he flew R/C but probably don't know that at one time he was considered as good of a pattern pilot as any in the US. When he couldn't compete anymore due to there being no contests anymore for the most part, he went back to C/L. About 4 or 5 years ago I got back into modeling after a period of time flying full scale and then small r/c helicopters. When I went to the field I found mike in the circle. I decided to give it a try and now I'm flying Advanced PA. Ahhh yes the memories.
Speaking of memories, this thread is about our favorite part of c/l and as I said my friends are the best and how can memories of friends get any better then these? |

We're only a few weeks into 2014, and already some marketers are likely getting caught up in the rush to get the latest broadcast email campaign out the door … lather, rinse, repeat. But before you get pulled into that cycle, consider this: If you want to be more successful than ever in 2014, you must step up and join the Amazons of the digital world and incorporate behavioral marketing into both your emails and your website.
Behavioral marketing processes have been around a few years, but despite the benefits – mature practitioners are contributing 31 percent more to the sales pipeline – adaptation is still in the early stages. And it all starts with the data. A recent Forrester Consulting report showed that less than half of marketers are capturing and consolidating behavioral data from multiple channels in a single database.
That same study indicated that only 17 percent of marketers consider themselves mature practitioners of behavioral marketing, meaning there's a great opportunity for you to get a leg up on the competition. So before you find yourself a few months into the year doing the same-old, same-old, take the time to assess the ways behavioral marketing might be used across your organization.
Here are four tips to get you started taking advantage of this powerful way of communicating to customers and prospects.
Get with IT and explain what Web tracking code is, how it will be used, and how it differs from Google Analytics and other codes. If the response is less than speedy, enlist management to help you escalate this important requirement to the IT department heads.
Bottom line: It's virtually impossible to get started with behavioral marketing without IT doing its part. And once you've got Web tracking turned on, you'll be able to capture the basic behaviors essential to behavioral marketing, such as general website visits, specific Web page visits and file downloads.
It's fine to put all the information you capture on prospects and customers into a data warehouse for segmentation and analysis, but this shouldn't be the sole place your data resides. Instead, make it a data priority to configure your systems and integrations so you can capture behavioral marketing information into your actionable marketing database and deliver real-time, relevant interactions with contacts.
Eventually, you'll want a whole portfolio of behavior-based communications ready to go in your digital platform, but you'll see benefits from adding even a handful of triggered emails to your messaging mix. One great place to start is with browse or process abandonment messages. For example, you could set up business rules so if a prospect visits a product data specification page, this behavior would trigger an automated email letting that person know how to contact a specialist and providing some product FAQ answers.
Similarly, you could set up rules so when an existing customer visits the support page but doesn't log a support case within 24 hours, this action would trigger an email asking the customer if he or she has any product or service questions. (Note: You need to have your support database integrated into your marketing automation system to make this happen — see No. 2 above.)
By integrating new data sources into your marketing platform, you can supplement the behaviors you're capturing within your system and increase your sophistication. For example, if someone watched a video, did they watch it to its conclusion? If they listened to a Webinar, how long did they listen? Did they cross a geofence surrounding one of your physical stores locations and, if so, did they make a purchase at that store? These are all behaviors that can be fed into your digital marketing platform to support near-real-time communication.
Follow these four steps, and you'll be well on your way to tapping into the power of behavioral data. For more even strategies and tactics for whipping your data into shape, please check out our white paper, "15 Tips for Enhancing Your Marketing Team's Vision, Skills and Data."

Polynesian Food, encompassing the Central and Southern Pacific Island cuisines, is marked for its interesting variety of seafood and associated dishes. Vegetables and fruits also form an integral part of Polynesian food. The French Polynesian cuisine, in particular, is one of the most acclaimed culinary traditions of the region. Popular Polynesian recipes include Poisson Cru (Tahitian salad made from raw fish), Pipi Soup (surf clam soup), Crab and Kumara Bisque (a thick soup of crab and sweet potato), Maori Boiled Soup (made with vegetables), and Soup of Watercress.
Classification of Polynesian Cuisine
Polynesian Food comprises preparations from three major cuisines, namely, the French, the Fijian and the Hawaiian. All three cuisines are characterized by meals consisting of a starch-based main course served with accompaniments. The specific features of each cuisine are as stated below:
1. French Polynesian Cuisine – Also popular as Tahitian cuisine, comprising of preparations from the French, Vietnamese, Chinese and Italian cuisines, it highlights the usage of a variety of fresh fruits. The Ahima is an oven typically used to prepare food of the region. Poisson cru( Tahitian national dish), Chevrettes( popular shrimp dish), and Poe( a dessert pudding made of taro root and banana) are globally acclaimed French Polynesian dishes
2. Fijian Polynesian Cuisine- It is significantly influenced by the Asian cuisines like Indian, Chinese and Melanesian. The influence of pacific and other western cuisines is also significant. The Polynesian food of this region is an interesting assortment of fruits, vegetables, fish and seafood. Kokoda( dish made by marinating and steaming fish), Kassaua( a tapioca dish), and dishes made with meat and breadfruit are fondly eaten as festive delicacies.
3. Hawaiian Cuisine- A conglomeration of American, Asian foods (particularly Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Korean) and Portuguese foods, it is known for its plate lunch consisting mainly of rice with accompaniments from different cuisines such as American pasta salad, Japanese Tonkatusu (pork cutlet), egg, and hamburger patty. Ingredients for Polynesian Recipes Polynesian food is mostly made from sweet potato, coconut, banana, ulu( breadfruit), Pia( Polynesian arrowroot), kukui(candle nut), 'ohi'a'ai( Moutain Apple). The root of the pepper tree is the prime ingredient for making Kava, a traditional and popular Polynesian drink.
Common Methods of Preparation of Polynesian Dishes
Polynesian food is cooked in cuisine specific ways across the three major cuisines of the region. However, there are some similarities too. For example, cooking over an earthen oven was a common feature of the traditional cooking practices. The French Polynesians used the Ahima whereas the Hawaiians used the imu. The Fijians used their earth ovens called lovo. These earth ovens essentially worked on the common principle of trapping heat in a pit in the earth and using it for cooking which may be baking, steaming or smoking.
Origin of Polynesian Cuisine
Polynesian food was first prepared in the three major factions (the Tahitian, the Hawaiian and Fijian of the Polynesian cuisine at different times. The Tahitian cuisine is an outcome of colonization of the island mainly by the British, French and Chinese. Captain Bligh's collection of uru from the Islands in the 19th century for transporting to West Indies and the Chinese introduction of rice to the island population, at around the same time, suggests the usage of these ingredients as some of the earliest of the island.
The preparation of Hawaiian food dates back to 300-500 AD, when poi, a meal made with the taro fruit was consumed as one of the prime diets. Breadfruit was introduced by the early Marquesan settlers. The early food of the Hawaiians also included pigs, coconut, seafood and sweet potatoes. Baked banana is a traditional favorite of the region. The colonial immigrants of the 18 th -20 th centuries introduced a variety of fruits (especially pineapple by Spanish botanist Don Francisco de Paula Marín). The Fiji cuisine is an interesting blend of ingredients introduced by various ethnicities. The colonial Dutch introduced sea cucumbers. The Africans Americans and Asians introduced a number of fruits and vegetables, and the British came with cattle to region.
Traditional/ Festive/ Gourmet/ Everyday/ Modern/ Fusion Polynesian Recipes
Polynesian food has acquired global popularity owing to its unique mix of dishes from cuisines from around the world. The Tahitian dishes prepared using Ahima, an earth oven, are some of the tastiest dishes of the cuisine. Sauces, especially those made using vanilla beans are another major attraction. Roast pork is one of the favorites of the region. Hawaiian luau, dishes made with fishes (mahi-mahi, tuna, ahi, Opakapa ) are some of the major attractions of the Hawaiian Polynesian cuisine. Palusami, a Fijian Samoan main course dish made from taro leaves on the umu , mostly eaten as a staple, is an item that should not be missed out upon by any tourist.
Typical dishes of Hawaiian cuisine include Chicken with long rice( a savory dish made with chicken and long rice by cooking with ginger in chicken broth),Loco Moco ( hamburger patties made with egg as a topping and served with a suitable gravy as an accompaniment), Lau Lau( dish made by steaming fish wrapped in taro and ti leaves. Chicken and pork or only pork options are also available for this dish.).
Traditional Fijian food includes fruits and their preparations such as sweet papaya and pineapple, homemade bread, coconut and fish soup, Kokoda Ma'a Tahiti is one of the most popular traditional foods of the Tahitian cuisine. Lovo is a popular festive dish from the Fijian Polynesian cuisine. It is cooked in a Hawaiian earthen oven with meat and vegetables wrapped in banana leaves. A number of delectable Hawaiian pork recipes are prepared for festivals. Amongst the Fusion fare, the Poisson Cru, with vanilla may be considered a fusion of the pure French and its Tahitian variation.
The Polynesian cuisine, in general, may be considered fusion cuisine owing to the influence of a number of eastern and western cuisines. Modern recipes of the Polynesian cuisine include a number of variations resulting from a fusion of other cuisines. Prawn curry made with coconut and almonds or Raita made with eggplant are Indian influenced dishes of Fijian cuisine. Corn Chowder is one of the most favored soups of the modern Hawaiian cuisine. A Complete Polynesian Food Routine The Polynesian food routine varies across the different constituent cuisines. The Tahitian Meal is a three course meal consisting of:
1. Breakfast- bread with a hot drink
2. Lunch – Rice, chicken, pork, seafood, breadfruit, and an assortment of other fruits
3. Dinner- a light meal The traditional Hawaiian meal, also known as the plate lunch, includes the plate lunch which consists of rice as the main course served with American pasta salad made with mayonnaise and macaroni pasta, and a number of accompaniments which may be a fried egg, Loco Moco, tonkatsu, and the kaula pig.
Polynesian Cuisine Trivia
Hawaii Islands is one of the largest producers of Macadamia nuts in the world Till the mid-19th century the Fijians were cannibalistic The Mai Tai cocktail , created by rum King Victor Bergeron aka Trader Vic ,was named so after a couple of his Tahitian guests exclamation "Maitai roa ae" meaning " out of this world"

Herbal wreaths are fun to make and this would be the best activity to indulge in if you have a bountiful harvest. Rosemary wreaths are particularly attractive and long lasting. They are evergreen herbs and the best choice for a herbal decoration. So, let us get the rosemary cuttings ready and begin creating…

- Place one bunch on the wreath at the 12 o' clock position and tie it up here.
- Continue to secure rosemary bunches at hourly positions working clockwise.
- Make sure each bunch overlaps the tied portion of the first bunch.
- Cover the whole wreath with rosemary bunches in this manner.
- Secure two more layers of rosemary in the same way for a lush wreath.
Watch the video to pick some tips on making wreaths with rosemary.
Ideas for Decorating Rosemary Wreaths
- Attach a bow made of ribbons for a colorful look.
- Dried fruits and flowers can also jazz up the green colored wreath.
- Rosemary can be used along with other herbs for making a herbal wreath to be hung in the garden or in the kitchen.
- Small painted sayings, artificial birds, seed packets, bird nests, butterflies, bees etc can also be used for decorating.
Wreaths made of rosemary are definitely worth the effort since they can be hung wherever desired and they would make the place welcoming and fragrant this holiday season.

Exposing FBI's flirt with privacy
As the surreal sex scandal that forced CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation reveals another prominent general's "flirtatious" emails, the serious scandal here may well be the breadth of the FBI's power to launch fishing expeditions through Americans' most intimate communications.
This investigation began in May, as we now know from copious FBI leaks, with a series of rude anonymous emails to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley. The messages criticized her cozy relationships with military officers at a local base, where she volunteers as a social planner. Although the e-mails have been described as "cat-fight stuff" rather than threats, a friend of Kelley's at the FBI, Frederick W. Humphries II – who had sent Kelley shirtless photos and was ultimately barred from the case by superiors worried he had become "obsessed" – urged the bureau to investigate.
The FBI obliged – apparently obtaining subpoenas for Internet Protocol logs, which allowed them to connect the sender's anonymous Google Mail account to others accessed from the same computers, accounts that belonged to Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell. The bureau could then subpoena guest records from hotels, tracking the WiFi networks, and confirm that they matched Broadwell's travel history. None of this would have required judicial approval – let alone a Fourth Amendment search warrant based on probable cause.
While we don't know the investigators' other methods, the FBI has an impressive arsenal of tools to track Broadwell's digital footprints – all without a warrant. On a mere showing of "relevance," they can obtain a court order for cell phone location records, providing a detailed history of her movements, as well as all people she called. Little wonder that law enforcement requests to cell providers have exploded – with a staggering 1.3 million demands for user data just last year, according to major carriers.
An order under this same weak standard could reveal all her e-mail correspondence and Web surfing activity. With the rapid decline of data storage costs, an ever larger treasure trove is routinely retained for ever longer time periods by phone and Internet companies.
Had the FBI chosen to pursue this investigation as a counterintelligence inquiry rather than a cyberstalking case, much of that data could have been obtained without even a subpoena. National Security Letters, secret tools for obtaining sensitive financial and telecommunications records, require only the say-so of an FBI field office chief.
Unlike conventional wiretaps or physical searches, many of these methods can be used without the targets ever being told – regardless of whether evidence of a crime is found. Americans remain largely in the dark about how widely or frequently they are used.
While federal courts must report on the number of wiretap orders issued each year, there's no similar requirement for most other forms of digital surveillance.
With Broadwell identified as the anonymous emailer – explaining her surprising knowledge of Petraeus' social calendar – one might have expected the investigation to be closed. Yet, though Justice Department attorneys seem to have ultimately determined that Broadwell committed no crime, the bureau didn't stop.
Rather than questioning Broadwell or Petraeus at this point, the FBI sought access to the contents of her email accounts and uncovered thousands of intimate messages, largely irrelevant to the purpose of this inquiry, that revealed an illicit affair between the married CIA director and Broadwell.
Though technology continues to advance at a breathtaking pace, the federal digital privacy rules were written in 1986 – when Atari was king. Investigators often don't even need a Fourth Amendment search warrant to go fishing through your emails. For messages on a server longer than six months, a prosecutor's subpoena or a court order based on that same weak showing of "relevance" to an investigation can do the trick.
You don't have to sympathize with Petraeus to wonder whether any prominent national figure who runs afoul of the FBI – or another influential official, for that matter – could survive the kind of humiliating exposure our modern surveillance state makes commonplace. If everyone has a skeleton or two in the closet, information is the power to decide whose careers will survive.
We have unwittingly constructed a legal and technological architecture that brings point-and-click simplicity to the politics of personal destruction. The Petraeus affair has, for a moment, exposed that invisible scaffolding – and provided a rare opportunity to revisit outdated laws and reconsider the expanded surveillance powers doled out over the past panicked decade.
Congress should seize the opportunity to re-examine and revise our myriad surveillance techniques and update the oversight process. If we don't take steps to rein in the burgeoning surveillance state now, there's no guarantee we'll even be aware of the ways in which control is exercised through this information architecture.
We will all remain exposed – but the extent of our exposure, and the potential damage done to democracy, is likely to remain invisible.

"Oh you're deaf?! Can. You. Hear. Me. Now?"
These are the words of a guy I recently met in a club. It's such a shame we live in a world where very few people are deaf aware.
Don't get me wrong, I love explaining everything about the deaf world to those who ask me about it.
Even though the guy seemed a bit rude, I calmly explained to deafness to him, and how I lipread people to understand what they are saying.
I was born hard of hearing, and so was my big sister Hollie and little sister Laura.
No-one else in our family has any level of deafness at all. The doctors said it was passed down to us by our parents. We learned to lipread and as we grew up, we never felt sorry for ourselves and always looked out for each other.
Being hard of hearing was never really an issue for us until we got to high school.
Hollie, now 26 years old, hated wearing her hearing aid after being branded "deaf girl," with people teasing her because of the way she spoke. She would even try and break her hearing aids or throw them down the school toilet.
Laura, now 21 years old, was fine in school, whereas I on other hand, had it even harder.
I was shoved, spat at, tripped over, and called horrible names, with other kids taking the mickey out of the way I talk.
They would turn my hearing aid off from behind and some would grab my hearing aid from my ear. It really hurt me and a lot of the time, I felt alone and lost.
I was even kicked out of a lesson because I cried when my English/Form teacher told me "what do you want me to do about it" after telling her I couldn't hear a video and needed subtitles.
School was very tough for me; I got in so many fights trying to stand up for myself.
All of this led me to set up a group called Hard of hearing/Deaf people need more help and support on Facebook in March 2010. Amazingly, the group now has over 7,700 members from all over the world.
The group's aim is to raise awareness and to get more help and support for people who are deaf and hard of hearing. I'm there for the group members, providing them with information and interacting with them.
Two months after I set up my group, I was invited to go to London by Action on Hearing Loss to speak about it. Since then I have been helping the charity to raise awareness along with my deaf group. I was in the newspapers, magazines and on air during 2010, publicizing the group, and late last year I made a video (below, with subtitles) about why I set it up!
Setting up the group led to me meeting a few celebrities, who are helping me out, including my two idols Lee Ryan and Duncan James from BLUE. The two other group members, Antony Costa, Simon Webbe, plus other celebrities have "tweeted" and "re-tweeted" the link to my short film to their connections on Twitter too!
I will do anything for those thousands of people in my group. They are a huge part of me and my life. I really want to reach out to more people and to fight for more help and support.
It has been two years now since I set up my group, and I'm really proud.
Hayley describes herself as a "22 year old girl from Liverpool who likes listening to music and works her arse off to live life to its fullest." You can join her Facebook group by clicking here and you can follow her on Twitter as @HaleySadler

How to Remaster Mona Lisa Smile in Your Spare Time
A presentation by Evan Quasney
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
12:00-1:00 p.m.
1363 GG Brown [tentative]
During one summer's internship, Evan Quasney may have overturned decades of art-preservation technology. The 19-year-old University of Michigan mechanical engineering student worked at the Smithsonian Institution, tweaking computer models to determine the best method for conserving priceless paintings. Frequently, braces have been fitted onto the backs of paintings to prevent the old canvas from sagging. But Quasney showed how this practice creates stresses that cause cracks. The best anti-cracking technique? Apply a layer of gesso to the backside.
-- [Business Week ( http://www.businessweek.com/ ), Oct. 18, 2004]
Check the main University of Michigan webpage ( http://www.umich.edu/ ) for a featured story, the ME Dept. 2004 Annual Report p. 34 ( http://me.engin.umich.edu/news/pubs/ar/ME2004AnnualReport.pdf ), and the January 7 edition of Michigan Daily ( http://www.michigandaily.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/01/07/41de7350ceb60?in_archive=1 ) for an interview with Evan, but don't miss this presentation.

Submitted to: Applied Engineering in Agriculture
Publication Type: Research Notes Publication Acceptance Date: 1/24/2002 Publication Date: 5/20/2002 Citation: EIGENBERG, R.A., NIENABER, J.A., HAHN, G.L., KACHMAN, S.D. SWINE RESPONSE TO MISTING SYNCHRONIZED WITH MEAL EVENTS. APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE 18(3):347-350. Interpretive Summary: Pigs eat less feed during hot summer months and do not grow as quickly. Air conditioning is too expensive to be considered but spraying pigs with water helps to reduce stress. However, spraying increases the humidity and adds to the waste water. Our information shows that the body temperature raises as the pig eats and may cause the pig to stop eating. Cooling the pig with spray, just before it eats, has been shown to increase the size of the meal. This strategy minimizes the water usage and humidity and may improve the growth rate of pigs over hot summers. Technical Abstract: Prior work has shown that the tympanic temperature of swine increases during an eating bout. An experiment was conducted in a hot environment using timing of misting as a way of reducing the body temperature during meal events. Three treatments were applied to pigs in a constant temperature 30C environment: no misting, misting just prior to meals, and misting between meals. Two response variables were examined: feed intake and meal duration. Three environmental chambers were used in a Latin-Square layout with each chamber hosting each treatment. Analysis showed feed intake was significantly (P<0.05) increased by misting just prior to the meal when compared with no misting or misting between meals. Similarly, meal duration was significantly greater (P<0.05) for misting just prior to the meal than for the other two treatments. The meal effect appears to result from cooling the pig, thereby reducing the tympanic temperature spike that normally occurs during an activity event such as a meal. The moderation of the body temperature apparently allows the pig to eat for a greater period before thermoregulatory controls restrict the meal duration and hence the meal amount. While not conclusive from these short-term observations, increased feed intake should benefit growth performance. |

On April 30, 2014, the NLRB invited parties to file briefs addressing whether it should overturn the current Register Guard standard governing employees' use of employer-provided email accounts and other electronic communication systems. The NLRB will consider the briefs in reviewing an Administrative Law Judge's recent decision in Purple Communications, Inc., in which the ALJ relied on Register Guard in dismissing a union's claim that the employer violated the National Labor Relations Act by prohibiting use of its electronic equipment and email systems for activity unrelated to the employer's business.
Under Register Guard, employees generally do not have a right to use their employer's computers to engage in protected activity, and employers may lawfully discipline employees for doing so. However, an employer is prohibited from allowing use of its computers and email for non-work purposes while discriminating against such use for similar protected activities.
The General Counsel has asked the NLRB to overrule Register Guard and adopt an employee-friendly rule that employees who are permitted to use their employer's email account for work purposes also have the right to use it for Section 7 activity (i.e., discussing the terms and conditions of their employment with co-workers), subject only to the employer's need to maintain production and discipline.
This news should not come as a surprise to employers who follow our alerts. The decision has been a prime target since the early days of the Obama administration. As we previously reported, the new General Counsel has made quite clear his desire to have the current NLRB overturn the Bush-era NLRB's decision in Register Guard. Given the NLRB's current employee-friendly composition, Register Guard's days as the governing standard may be numbered. We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates.

Line color?
I am new to the sport and i am wondering what color line do you use, and why.does it really matter,what color. I will be fishing small streams and small lakes.it will be 5wf.
thank you mike |
Welcome to the forum!
Spooky fish may not bite if they see a bright colored line. I'm sure somebody will post that this is nonsense, but fish aren't color blind. I use a white floating line most of the time which definitely is bright, but at least white is a color found in nature. Yellow or orange are not really colors that a trout would expect to see floating down a stream. Just my .02 |
For most TROUT situations, I use a chartruese line and have no problems. In a spring creek situation I use a natural or gray/green line to avoind spooking the fish.
