PHILIPPINE government officials or the so-called public servants are more often criticized than praised. This is so because of their public positions. They deal directly with people in all walks of life – people whom they were initially sworn to serve, supposedly, with sincere devotion and concern.
I need not prove why a lot of these public servants run short of praise and appreciation from the very people they serve. It is a known fact and each and every one of us overseas Filipino workers has experienced, at one point or another in our lives, being treated badly or indifferently by most of them both at home and abroad. If I were to take a random survey now and ask Filipinos of how they are treated by officials of Philippine embassies or consulates in their respective countries of work, majority, for sure, will answer as earlier claimed.
There are of course exceptions to this accepted notion and we sometime hear or read that this "so and so" public official has done this "so and so" exceptional deeds to people he or she serves. Very rare though and most often than not, these very few exceptional public officials are not even known or spoken of at all!
We should always give credit to whom it is due and it has actually been my practice in the many years of dealing with them, and at one point in my life of being one of them, to be appreciative of their every good deed or work performed. A kind word, after all, never hurts.
In Kuwait, where I am presently working, there is one public official who deserves all the credits and tributes one can ever offer. For indeed, in the past six years she has served her term of office, she not only performed her duties well as called by her position, she did even more than anyone could have ever achieved.
Welfare Officer Ofelia M. Castro is that one exceptional public servant this OFW-Suite101 now offers tribute to. I am not alone in doing this though. The Filipino Community in Kuwait, a few Philippine government officials and a number of people of varied nationalities whose lives she has touched, join me in giving appreciation to her outstanding work and unique persona. And just recently a special function was held in honor of her by prominent Filipino leaders and organization members in Kuwait, the first-of-its-kind ever given to an outgoing embassy official.
Assigned in 1993 by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to oversee the affairs of Filipino workers in Kuwait, Ma'am Ofie, as she is fondly called by Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike, has exemplified what a true public servant should be.
Professionalism. Resourcefulness. Determination. Perseverance. Intelligence. Dedication. Tolerance. Courage. Compassion. These are just a few words that best describe Ms. Castro as she tackles her day-to-day functions as a Welfare Officer. She is strong in character and in dealing with her, you wouldn't miss noticing it. You can never sway her from what she believes and thinks is right.
A fighter, no doubt Ms. Castro is, she will never stop until she gets what she aimed for. She is a strong defender of the many hapless Filipino workers, most especially of the domestic helpers who comprise the majority of Filipino workforce in Kuwait. She has never been slow in protecting a worker in times of trouble but fast, she always is, in reprimanding a Filipino who has gone wrong.
As a person, she is easy to get along with as she could be funny at times. She is very friendly and the kind who will never hesitate to offer a helping hand. Kind-hearted and a very forgiving person, she is a joy to be a friend. You will always count yourself lucky just to be acquainted with her.
Ms. Castro is a very endearing person, a character which has made her famous not only among her colleagues at the Philippine Embassy and the Filipinos in Kuwait but also among Kuwaiti officials she regularly deals with. She was instrumental in the present good relations the embassy people enjoy with Kuwait's labor and immigration officials. This was permanently sealed during her short stint in 1996-1997 as Acting Labor Attache. Where before cases would take ages to resolve, now, with her established professional relations with the proper authorities, cases are timely attended to.
I can go on describing Ma'am Ofie, and believe me, it's a task I can never get tired of doing but I would like this time to highlight what others say about her.
The previous head of Philippine mission to Kuwait, now Assistant Secretary Shulan O. Primavera (another example of an exceptional public servant) of the Office of the Middle East and African Affairs, has this to say of Ms. Castro:
"It has been my privilege to have worked with Ma'am Ofie for five of those six years. Those years, which could easily fit the Chinese description of "interesting times" saw the blossoming of the country-team approach in the Embassy's management of its multifaceted tasks. And Ma'am Ofie played a pivotal role in achieving that.
Using her dynamism, intelligence and charm, Ma'am Ofie cultivated a wide circle of friends composed of high Kuwaiti government officials, members of diplomatic corps and prominent local and expatriate businessmen. These contacts proved indispensable in resolving labor-related issues, promoting RP-Kuwait relations and enhancing the image of the Philippines and its community.
There is an Arabic saying which states that when the host offers incense, then it is time for the guest to leave. Were it not for an administrative rotation scheme in the home office, I am certain our Kuwaiti friends and host will never offer incense to Ma'am Ofie. Kuwait's loss will be Manila's gain."
Ambassador Sukarno D. Tanggol, the current head of mission in Kuwait, silently working to keep Ms. Castro in Kuwait beyond her allowable tour of duty, notes:
"Ms. Castro has been in Kuwait for almost six years – during which she has been able to establish close ties not only with the local Filipino community but also with authorities of the host government. She has shown initiative and leadership, two qualities which are essential in a Post like Kuwait which has a large concentration of Filipino nationals.
We, in the Embassy will miss her not only for her gregarious charm but also for her friendship and for the privilege of having worked with her during her tour of duty in Kuwait."
From a friend, Cecille Pena Al Qenai, herself a prominent Filipino leader in Kuwait, the following is how she describes Ms. Castro:
"Ofelia Castro is a very dear friend, affectionate and caring in many ways. Her wit, humor and intellect are far broader than anyone can fathom. There are many occasions that proved her word is that of the wise and the learned. It is her warm friendship that I treasure most. Not to hear her girlish giggle, contagious laughter, feel the warm hug, taste her home-made meals (she's an excellent cook) and most importantly feel her lively, down to earth presence in the coming weeks fill me with great sadness. To say I will miss her is an understatement."

When employers are deciding the criteria to apply in selecting employees for redundancy, a popular choice often involves attendance records, or rather absence records, of their employees. Employers are of course keen to ensure that the workforce being retained comprise of their best candidates, including those that reguarly turn up to work.
However, it has been suggested in Personnel Today that some employees who have a poor attendance record may have been subjected to bullying or harassment within the workplace. Therefore they suggest that using this criteria could subject employers to claims.
We, at PJH Law, would disagree with Speechly Bircham and King's College London's suggestions. In our experience the criteria that causes employers problems are that of a subjective nature, not an objective nature. Provided that the reason for the absence(s) is not related to disability or maternity leave, then we believe that this is a legitimate and fair criteria to use in selecting employees for redundancy. In our experience a Tribunal has never disputed this criteria being used in these circumstances.

That football team have been based in 115 years ago in November 29 1899 as a fc Barcelona by a chief with a Swiss corporation, Catalan plus British footballers, is Joan Gamper. This organization has icon of Catalanism and Catalan tradition and has the motto is" more than a club".
I believe that most people recognize the soccer club Barcelona very well since this club is the fourth richest soccer team around the world inside the regards to revenue which obtains $3.2 billion or equate to together with £484.6 million. If you are one of these club supporters, it implies that you have club fans brands are Barcelonistas aka Cules, Azulgranas or Blaugranes. The label for fans is based on your location, however it is all of the fans in this club. You'll be a part of them if you are really love this soccer team and try to carry out all daily schedules in the club.
Furthermore the country, this club has a president that's responsible to become a innovator and it's known as of President. At present, the president of the football club are Josep Maria Bartomeu. Each team have their coach that should coach these and guide these to be a winner and also head trainer in this club is Luis Enrique.

This club has been struggled for a 100 years to be like this football club that is known in lots of nations in the world.

Another Sort Of Homecoming
Further to this post, here's another study of a location in Tile Hill, the inspiration behind George Shaw's entire artistic output since 1996. Having been fascinated with George's work since I first discovered it in 2008, I finally had the opportunity to visit Tile Hill in October last year. I've explained before how truly strange an experience it was, finally being able to walk through places I'd obsessively studied paintings of for several years. I had about 2 hours there, during which I took dozens of photographs, mainly of scenes I recognised from the paintings, but the location above was one of the few I don't recall from the 200+ works George has done. It seemed to me the perfect summation of George's aesthetic – crumbling brick wall, cracked pavement, muddy path, brooding woods – and I knew there and then that one day I'd have to do my own interpretation of it. Rather than give it the full-scale acrylic-on-canvas treatment, I decided to make it a much smaller and more intimate piece, with obsessive attention to detail rendered in ink and shaded with thinned acrylic that I applied like watercolour. The title 'Malingering Autumn' – is a bad pun on Millais' 'Lingering Autumn', and refers to that fact that though I was there at the fag end of October, the trees were still in full leaf.
What's curious to me is how a location to which I'm a complete stranger can have such a pull on my imagination. I think it's because it's so similar to the place I grew up in the 1970's-80's, a post-war council estate in Leeds, and in that place I had many of the same experiences George did, experiences that now seem so much more profound than almost anything that's happened in the recent past. It just never struck me at the time that the collapsing garages and graffitied walls and overgrown paths where we found the dregs of cider bottles, discarded porn mags and spent fireworks were viable subjects for art, but George made them so, and has done for nigh-on 20 years. I now understand that if my art is to have any meaning (for me, at least) then it has to be informed by those experiences and emotions that still resonate with me today, even if it means the results don't always make for 'pretty' pictures. If there's a sufficient amount of emotional intensity put into the work as it's being made, then that raises even the most mundane subject matter to mythic proportions.

Sorry Who, I lived in Nebraska for about 10 years. My first wife was from there and my second daughter was born there too. Nebraska looks very impressive this year. The QB actually passed for 4 TD\'s in their first game and total offense was about 600 yards.
I\'m with you though, never really became a Nebraska fan, always stayed a diehard Tulane fan, I\'m a gluten for punishment.
Geaux Golden Eagles!!!!!

Just for one day... Help out ww!
I don\'t care who plays Nebraska, Oklahoma, USC, or ANY SEC team besides LSU, just as long as the other team beats them. Oh, and you can add Miami and Florida St. to that list as well.
Just for one day... Help out ww!
I\'ll second that D. Although I also pull for Louisville\'s football team, since I am originally from there and had many friends and family go there.
So I will definitely be pulling for whoever plays the Huskers, OU, all Florida teams and the Irish.
Geaux Saints, LSU and Tulane
David in Houston

A thunderstorm's rolling overhead right now.
I love thunderstorms: the slight give of the cushions in an armchair, the rustling pages of whatever book I happen to be reading, the scratch of my pen across a notebook as I sit by the window. Everything gains an extra level of comfort with every flash of lightning, with every echoing crash of thunder, with every minute spent listening to the thrumming sound of rainfall.
Mom popped by our front porch (where I was sitting with the door wide open… in the middle of a rainstorm.) and asked me, if you close your eyes, can you almost pretend you're in North Carolina?
Almost, I told her.
Yes; almost. If I were in North Carolina, there would be no cars whooshing through the newly soaked streets: just the soft creaking of rocking chairs and the quiet murmur of laughter among friends. No rough carpet under my feet or memories of my dog curled up in that corner (that one; right there); just memories of hard work and laughter and tears and good fun–late nights, early mornings, starry skies, and thunderstorms.
Nostalgia aside–enough is as good as a feast. be where your feet are–I love a good thunderstorm. There's something so quieting about watching the clouds roll in and stay for a while. Thunderstorms, for me at least, are somewhat like the sea. They instill a sense of smallness, a realization that we are tiny and fragile and oh, our lives are so short in the grand scheme of things. They give me a half-calming hope that everything will be alright–the sun will rise, the waves will pound the shore, the storms will rage, and all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
So instead of almost crying, as I am wont to do whenever the fact that I'm not at camp arises, I'm sinking in to where I am. There are letters to be written, and maybe care packages to be made. There are cookies and cobblers just waiting to be baked, recipes waiting to be attempted, stories waiting to be written–and, of course, there's friends to be seen and books to be read. Even if I don't quite know what they are, there are things to be done in this life of mine.
Big things. World changing things.
Anyone can change the world. It just takes a lot of guts, a lot of gumption, and whole lot of support. And it's okay not to go out to change the world, too. Sometimes you just have to work hard, wherever you are, and love fiercely and live–even if it feels small. Because we are small, you know, but you in your corner, and me in mine–together, I think, we might be able to do some good in this world of ours, whether or not we change the world.
What is it Galadriel says? Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
A few people have told me recently that the hard part of growing up isn't always making tough choices between good and bad that a lot of stories seem to make it out to be. Sometimes it's making choices between good and better. And sometimes, it's just making a choice between good and good. You can't win, you can't lose–life is what it is and sometimes you have to roll in whatever direction it takes you, and that's okay, too.
Just remember to watch the thunderstorms, wherever you are, if only just for me. Take a minute and think to yourself: I am small. My time here is finite, my days here are short: I am small, but I matter. My life matters.
Then go out and make something of it. You never know whose life could change.
It might even be your own.

So you have got your tickets to a West End show in London, but you want to make a day of it, and go exploring. You've been to the science and history museums, seen the sites, but did you know that there are a few things for us theatre lovers to do?
The V&A Theatre Exhibit Collection
Now I know I mentioned the museums, however the V&A museum focuses a lot more on the arts than the other two, and this museum has its own Theatre exhibition – 'The Theatre & Performance collections are an incredible resource that document current practice and the history of all areas of performing arts in the UK, including drama, dance, opera, circus, puppetry, comedy, musical theatre, costume, set design, pantomime, popular music and much more…'
I had heard about this exhibit having seen pictures of it by friends on Facebook and twitter, and I had to go! Free entry and situated in rooms 103 -106b, level 3, it is definitely one for theatre lovers, you see costumes from The Lion King, puppets from War Horse, scenery from Sweeny Todd, the list is endless. There is also history and you learn so much, I've been once but that won't stop me going again, I highly recommend for more information go here.
The Theatre Cafe
Now I'd be very surprised if you didn't know about this little cafe that is opposite the Queens Theatre however just in case. 'The Theatre Café is London's first ever theatre‑themed coffee shop! Situated in the heart of theatreland on Shaftesbury Avenue the coffee shop is the ideal place to come and immersed in all things theatrical. The perfect place to see all whats playing in the West End, you can buy tickets in a relaxed atmosphere and find the right show for you!'
I couldn't have put it better myself! The whole place is covered in posters of the west end, tables are leaflets of present and past shows, even the bathroom has the dressing room mirror, that many can't not take a photo looking into it! The menu is great and reasonably priced, all theatre themed too such as 'The Phantom of the Mocha', Starlight Espresso, Charlie and the Hot Chocolate to name a few, they even make the best milkshakes! But along with having something to eat and drink you can purchase tickets (if you haven't got some already) but also partake in events where West End Stars visit and talk, there are is even Open Mics, and quizzes to keep you entertained! A great stop to go to for theatre fun! I also heard that if you wear a certain MTAS badge there is a discount for you! For more information go here.
The National Theatre Tours
The National Theatre is home of 3 wonderful theatres, that perform amazing musicals and plays that have lit up our West End. But do we know what goes on behind the scenes? The National Theatre provides 3 different tours for the public to attend prices ranging from £9.50 to £12.50 depending on the want that attracts you the most!
There is the Backstage Tour – Explore the backstage life of the National Theatre a working building, producing over 20 new productions every year. Preparation for the shows, including rehearsals, prop and costume-making all happen on site. No two tours are ever the same, so come and see what's happening behind the scenes today. Runs Mondays to Saturdays. The Costume Tour – See the craft and skill of the NT's costume team including the cutting room, dye shop and wig room. Selected Saturdays only, 10am. The Agriculture Tour – Designed by the architect Denys Lasdun, the National Theatre has divided public opinion since it opened in 1976. In 2001 a Radio Times poll featured Denys Lasdun's building in the top five of both the most hated and the most loved British buildings. Devised with Patrick Dillon, of NT Future architects Haworth Tompkins, come and see for yourself, how Lasdun's masterpiece is revealed anew. This tour does not include the auditoriums – backstage tours may be booked separately. So pick what takes your fancy and learn much of the theatre land! For more information go here.
Phoenix Artist Club
I stumbled across this club when I was trying to find something to do for my birthday one year, and I am so glad I did! The Phoenix Artist Club – 'Secreted away down the same little side street used in the opening sequence of Harry Potter and tucked beneath The Phoenix Theatre lies our charming escape from the London norm. Our lively and nostalgic theatre bar & Restaurant is located in the original dressing and rehearsal rooms of The Phoenix Theatre where Laurence Olivier made his debut on stage in the 1930s in "Private Lives" with Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence. With fascinating signed posters, paintings and pictures from decades of theatre productions, a restored art deco interior and hidden treasures lurking in every corner, there's something new to see on every visit, and you never know who might decide to give an impromptu performance!'
It is a lovely atmosphere and managed by lovely people that ensure you have a good night, the menu is delicious, they even provide a pre theatre menu for anyone wanting to catch a quick bite before a show, and even their cocktails are theatre themed such as One Sip More, Luck be a Lady, and No 17: The Spread Eagle. I highly recommend booking a table here, even for their special event nights. For further information, and to book a table go here.
Musical Theatre Walking Tour
Now this I stumbled upon when researching for this blog, and there are many tours that take you around the London's West End, that teaches you about the theatre, the show, and the cast that is playing currently. I myself have not taken part, but now knowing that this is available I may just need to see whats in store. 'Join award winning soloist and Musical Theatre expert Neil Maxfield on a walk around London's glittering West End. Revel in a fascinating insight into the world we call show business. Meet some of the stars and composers personified by Neil in his own inimitable style.Learn about the most exciting of industries and its flagship shows. Hear performances from some of the greatest works of all time. Use this opportunity to share your vocal talents. For £15 a tour, and runs Thursday evenings and Sunday Mornings, if you want to walk the West End what better way to do so! I know I might be booking one in the near future, for more information go here.
Now these are just a few theatre themed things to do and go to in London, but that's not to say that these are the only things! I'm sure I have missed a few places so please tell me, where do you go for your pre-theatre trips out?
What other theatre related activities have you discovered? Let us know in the comments or tweet @MTAS_Official & @KTRoseReview

Google Earth Image of Dongsha Atoll with approximate
location of DTS cable.
Fiberoptic cable deployed behind a small boat
on the reef flat. The small dot on the horizon is
the scaffolding platform where the DTS
base station is located.
But, we're ready for them!
Yesterday, we completed the setup of the distributed temperature sensor (DTS), which includes 4 kilometers of fiberoptic cable laid from the lagoon, over the reef flat, and
down the fore reef slope to 50 m depth offshore - acting as an internal wave antenna (see blog post on May 27th for more detail on the DTS). The DTS measures temperature and along with other instruments we have deployed on the reef, will allow us to better understand how much of the deep offshore water the internal waves bring onto the shallow reef and how it affects the corals that live there.
Aryan, Austin, and Kristen are very excited to have an
empty reel! Note the yellow "lazy susan" that saved the day!

Europe. I have struggled to write this post because my attempts to convey my exhilaration for the gastronomic aspect of this trip have been paltry at best. How does one describe the depth and breadth of culinary history, culture, tradition, innovation, and quality of European food? I have come to realize that I will never do this continent justice by attempting to verbalize its epicurean splendor. Yet, I proceed.
Many of the world's most talented chefs work and live in Europe. One of our destinations will be San Sebastian, a gourmand's mecca. Also home to two of the world's best restaurants: Mugaritz and Arzak. Arzak is run by a father and daughter team, Juan Mari and Elena Arzak, who both reinvent and respect Spanish and Basque dishes. Elena was recently honoured with Veuve Clicquot World's Best Female Chef. At Arzak, traditional dishes undergo metamorphosis becoming plates that dazzle the senses. Mugaritz's Executive Chef is Andoni Luis Aduriz, who apprenticed at El Bulli and was recently awarded the esteemed San Pellegrino Chef's Choice Award. His philosophy applies science to cuisine in order to evoke an emotional experience. He defies preconceived notions of how food should be prepared, served, and experienced. It is in this restaurant, set just outside of San Sebastian in the Basque countryside, where we will seriously loosen the purse strings. Aduriz serves locally sourced ingredients framed in seasonal tasting menus that emphasize nature and technique. It is sure to be a meal that will be both awe-inspiring and transform the way I think about food preparation.
Once reputed as having one of the world's worst cuisines, England has since triumphed over this erroneous stereotype. Some of the world's most talented chefs hail from the UK, or have made it their home (Yotam Ottolenghi, Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal, Alain Ducasse, Brett Graham of The Ledbury, Isaac McHale, Fergus Henderson, Marco Pure White… the list goes on). London has transformed into a culinary mecca, and Britain has gained respect in the gastronomic community as fine purveyors of everything from beer, cheese, seafood, sausage, and to everything else in between. Personally, I am most excited about revisiting Neal's Yard Dairy. They are vendors of artisanal British farmhouse cheeses, including the famous Stilton and Cheshire (or, for cheese purists, Stichelton: the raw milk version of Stilton). On the forefront of the slow food movement, they maintain close relationships with cheesemakers themselves.
Neal's Yard Dairy
When I travel, I like to immerse myself in the culture as much as possible. Meaning I will have to give up sushi for a couple of months. Tasting local and traditional cuisine will be another highlight of this trip. In Turkey, I hope to get my fill of Anatolian cooking. Due to its geographic location and its history of occupation, Turkish food is shaped by European, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African influences. They also serve many dishes mezze style, which is one of my favourite ways to eat. You get to try little bits of everything! Moreover, Turkey is well-known for its rocket fuel-type coffee, and there's not much more that I like better than a cup of coffee that will make your hair stand on end.
Turkish Coffee
The Spanish are known for their tapas and pintxos, a style of small plate dining. They are often served as little bites to accompany your beverage of choice, while socializing with friends or relatives. Pintxos hail from the Basque region of northern Spain, and are different from tapas in that they are generally served on small skewers or toothpicks (pintxo literally means "spike" in Spanish). These small plates are often a pretense for socializing, where the main event is the conversation that takes place among friends. It is not uncommon to "tavern hop", tasting a little bit here and there as you go. Small plate dining is all about grazing. It emphasizes eating slowly and thoroughly savouring every last morsel. The type of small plate varies from the traditional (think ingredients like jamon, chorizo, olives, roasted red peppers, or anchovies, perhaps on a thinly sliced baguette) to the experimental and unconventional (such as artichokes stuffed with foie gras and hazelnuts, or fish crudo atop a cherry wafer served with sheep's milk cheese and fresh mint).
Traditional Pintxos
Portugal is another country for which I am eagerly anticipating digging into some traditional dishes. As mentioned in a previous post, I consider myself "pseudo-Portuguese". My stepfamily hails from the Acores, off of the southern coast of Portugal. Accordingly, I have grown up eating customary Portuguese comfort food. I cannot wait to get my hands on some sardinhas (grilled whole sardines), polvo (octopus), chicken piri-piri, caldo verde (potato and kale soup), balcalhau a gomes ca (salt cod with potatoes, onion, and egg), and fresh-off-the-tree figs. Like much of the best cuisine across the globe, many of the most delicious dishes are born from austerity – doing the best with what you can get your hands on. The Portuguese food I grew up eating is traditionally rustic food, and could not be more delectable.
Paris has some of the most luxurious food on the planet. That's not to say that some of their best fare does not have rustic origins (in fact, it often does), but rather that Parisians have refined their food to a unsurpassed level of opulence. Parisians do not settle for mediocre. My four favourite (and necessary) indulgences on the planet are coffee, chocolate, wine, and cheese – and the French do them really, really well. Arguably they do it just as well, if not better, than anywhere on the planet. The culture of savouring the sumptuousness of these luxury foods and truly engaging in the culinary experience is something which I admire about the Europeans (and I believe is often an oversight in North American culture). A further highlight in Paris for me will be a visit to Thierry Marx's FoodLab. It is essentially a research kitchen emphasizing gastronomical experimentation. The courses offered marry science and food to better understand the underlying chemical and physical mechanisms which take place during the cooking process. Moreover, it is a facility which pushes the boundaries of food innovation, making us re-evaluate conventional ways of preparation.
Thierry Marx
Europe is the birthplace of wine. The French, Spanish, and Portuguese (amongst many other nations) have been making wine for centuries. More and more, lesser known European countries are making a place for themselves in the world of wine. England and Croatia are emerging as nuclei of viticulture. I look forward to sidling up the seaside bar at Buza in Dubrovnik, and sipping a glass while overlooking the Adriatic. Austria, once known mostly for its fruity sweet vintages, is expanding their varietals. Wine bars are a modern cultural movement in Vienna. In fact, many wineries and grape pressing facilities have restaurants in house, where you can simultaneously sample their wine and enjoy a meal. One of the pinnacles of this trip will in the A Borfesztival in Budapest. It is set in the square of Buda Castle, where you can sample 1000 wines (which could make for a very interesting, if not pixilated, evening) from Hungary and around the world. To go along with the tastings, there are various cultural events and workshops reflecting local wines and traditions.
Buza Seaside Bar, Dubrovnik
At the risk of pontificating at great lengths about Europe's culinary hedonism, I will restrict myself to one last thing for which I am feverishly excited: food markets. Living in Vancouver, we are fortunate to have wonderful farmers' markets and places like Granville Island where local vendors can sell their provisions. The amount of pleasure these markets give me is indescribable. They are one of the most accessible ways to boast local splendor. One has the opportunity to literally taste their surroundings. Europe has many distinctive and sumptuous food fairs. From the Central Market Hall in Budapest, Naschmarkt in Vienna, La Boqueria in Barcelona, and Borough Market in London, I will have my work cut out for me! Almost every neighbourhood in every city has their particular market exhibiting the finest produce, seafood, meat, dairy, and sweets.
Central Market Hall, Budapest
Europe, I cannot wait to sink my teeth into you.

Salsa SpinnerI have bought several pairs of salsa shoes online from Supadance and they have turned out to be perfect. The sizes are exact and the shoes are better in reality than they look in the online picture. I dance a lot and my shoes need to feel comfortable as well as looking good. For me, Supadance are a reliable company to order from and both their quality and service are excellent. That's why I go back to them whenever it's time for a new pair.

Owing to erroneous medical billing, practitioners lose 30 to 50% of their total expected turnover. This translates into thousands of dollars worth of revenue lost every month. At Dynamic HealthCare Solutions (DHS), we have developed expertise in Electronic Medical Record services and systems over the past several years. We specialize in professional and systematic anesthesiology medical billing services in Alabama that can immediately curtail further leakage of revenue from your anesthesiology practice.
The Challenges of Anesthesiology Medical Billing
Billing for anesthesiology services requires an expert's attention. Its characteristic rigid and compulsory reporting framework makes billing difficult for anesthesiology medical practitioners. Application of correct anesthesia modifiers requires lengthy processes and it is a very time consuming job. The anesthesia administration, stringent coding and privacy regulations is increasingly robbing anesthesiology coders off the time and effort that they would rather direct towards enhancing their core skills.
An ideal anesthesiology billing and coding service is the one that:

The Tincan Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has described as ill-informed the allegations that the new Area Controller, Comptroller Musa Baba Abdullahi, has introduced a very harsh blueprint that raises tariff on importation and was frustrating the ease of doing business order.
A�A�A�Accusing Abdullahi of high-handedness, Customs agents at the command had insisted that imported goods with classification error should be referred to Quarry and Amendment for Debit Note (DN) rather than a blanket clampdown on the job, aimed at extorting revenue even from jobs without classification issues.
A�A�A�They maintain that once Customs issues a PAAR based on what is stated in the invoice, the area controller has no legal right to sit on a job claiming that the rates are low, because any arbitrary allocation of rates will hit harder at the economy.
A�A�A�Also, they condemned Abdullahia��s alleged attempt to introduce a non-gazette tariff, stating that he ordered all the assistant controllers to ensure that jobs were not expressly released and that clearing documents must be in their custody for at least three days to allow for proper examination.
A�A�A�To that end, the terminal operators were said to now drop as few as between seven and 12 boxes a day for examination, while consignments continued to incur demurrage as the 24-hour cargo delivery target has been jettisoned.
A�A�A�However, the command has explained that the new area controller was rather re-jigging the process to ensure compliance with fiscal policies and expeditious release of cargo.
A�A�A�According to the Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Uche Ejesieme, a�?this is why he introduced the a�?Time Release Study,a�� a concept targeted at ensuring that there are no impediments to the trade value chain.a�?
A�A�A�It is a�?to the extent that SGDs would be monitored electronically from the point of lodgment through capture to examination and exit, with a view to identifying areas of delay for immediate redress for the realisation of 48-hour clearance mandate.
A�A�A�a�?For the avoidance of doubt, the CAC has not and does not have the unilateral powers to hike tariff as being inferred. He is only urging compliance with fiscal policies as panacea to realising our mandate. We advise that stakeholders endeavour to engage us for explanation on issues agitating their minds.
A�A�A�a�?It may also interest us to note that the CAC has directed the dispute resolution committee to sit daily for the resolution of disputes on valuation, classification and PAAR.a�?

At the start of last year, Italian pop-punkers Why Everyone Left released their debut EP Stake Everything, which saw them solid success across the country and the chance to play alongside the likes of Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Bury Tomorrow and As It Is. The five-piece recently released their newest single Pack Your Shit, which you can check out the video for below, a sub-four minute hardcore-infused belter that spells out anger for fake promises and disappointments.
Maybe it isn't such a populated genre in mainland Europe, but when it comes to the UK's pop-punk scene there are a lot of similar acts out there. Though they offer a bit of a twist in terms of the hardcore edge, Pack Your Shit is rather your run of the mill, hook-filled, pumped-up, criticising-something-but-covering-it-with-a-cheery-tone, pop punk track. If you're a fan of the genre and want to absorb yourself into it more, this is what you need to hear, and it's excellent at what it does – it's just not too original. Oh, and the real life Pacman video feels nabbed from forthcoming movie Pixels, but it's amusing nonetheless.

I'm afraid in the end this is the best picture I got of the shirt in action. Forgive me and enjoy.
Once again I fumbled the photos. I didn't get the pictures done before the markers came out so just pretend that is a perfectly white shirt, thanks.
This is Lorelai's go-to pose for pictures.
This was after Granddad gave her suggestions.
Every complete outfit needs a hair thing!
Did that look like a $5 dress to you?
I hope you enjoyed this 4th of July mini series. More projects will be coming soon!

The Arrow Cross. The Ideology of Hungarian Fascism. A conceptual approach
I arrived in Budapest in the beginning of 2007, as an MA student at the CEU, to an atmosphere of tension and discontent. Hungary, by that time, was gripped by a recession and a general dissatisfaction with the powers that be coming from a significant section of the population. The loss of credibility of the political left, and the subsequent rise of the right-wing, in its conservative and far right manifestations, was palpable. As a Hungarian coming from the diaspora, I had the quality of a semi-outsider, and had a unique perspective, being accustomed to Hungarian culture, but not its contemporary politics. I could not help notice the situation, and contrast it to that of my native country, Romania, where the far right had all but died out as a political phenomenon. As a historian, I attempted to interpret the situation in a diachronic manner, comparing past situations to the present. As asymmetrical as these comparisons were, they opened up my interest in investigating a hitherto under-researched area, that of the far right and fascist ideologies in interwar Hungary. These past political projects were conspicuously present in the symbolism and legitimacy of the contemporary far right, which glorified the interwar period. Reading further into the material that became available to me, I came across certain trends of interpretations that seemed implausible and anachronic (see the literature review). Beyond simple intellectual curiosity toward the topic, I attempted to explain the apparent populist and mimetic leftist rhetoric of both the interwar fascism and contemporary far right.
The dissertation is structured into three major chapters, which constitute the body of the thesis. The first chapter is dedicated to explaining the current state of the research on the topic, and attempts to place my work within the major international historiographic debates on the subject of fascism. It also provides the reader with the needed socio-political context, in order to show the political, intellectual and social background which gave birth to fascist ideology in Hungary. This also includes external influences, for I have partly explained the phenomenon as a product of domestic tendencies and adaption of foreign ideologies. The second chapter contains the actual results of my research, structured into four major sub-chapters, each dedicated to a certain group of ideas or concepts. In the first sub-chapter, I attempted to discuss the attempt of interwar fascism to create a certain type of national community through discourse and practice, and to define the nation on ethno-racial terms, all the while attempting to place Hungary as high up as possible in a European new world order. Closely following this, the second part of the chapter discusses the role of the narrative of leadership and charisma in creating hierarchies of power within state and society. These hierarchies were formed a binomial between leadership and the people, who were also given an important role, as fascism attempted to level social difference in favor of an organic community of the people, with a singular leader. This kind of definition of the people constitutes the topic of my third subchapter. The final sub-chapter of the second part of the thesis analyzes the narrative in which these concepts of people, nation, and leader were arranged. The narrative theorizing was disguised as historicist, but ultimately was an a-historic and anti-historic theory. The Hungarian nation would enter into a new phase of existence that would constitute the end of history, a sort of perpetual golden age. In the final chapter, I provided the conclusions to my work.

This is one of our most popular Cotswold walks so, on a perfect Autumn day, it was no surprise it attracted a big turn-out – 28 members. We set off from the Beaufort Arms car park in warm sunshine, soon noting Collared Dove on a rooftop, Jackdaw, Blackbird, House Sparrows and a flock of 30 Starling. As we walked past fields of stubble we saw a Kestrel flying from bush to bush – the first of three Kestrels seen – then a solitary Yellowhammer on a telegraph wire, its colours showing well in the sunshine. A pair of Pied Wagtail and a Meadow Pipit in a field were followed by a Buzzard atop a post, seemingly trying to disguise itself as part of the post. Three Skylark were singing lustily as they rose from the stubble and some of us saw a Hare jumping over a bale of straw. Half a dozen migratory Swallows were heading south. After coffee stop, the list grew steadily as we noted female Chaffinch, a singing Wren, Great Tit and Chiffchaff. A Comma butterfly was sun-bathing on a bush and a Robin sang its wistful autumn tune. Other notable sightings were a fly-over by four Greenfinch, a Goldcrest in an Ash tree, and a flock of Linnet. Total species, 30. Thank you, Peter, for leading and Nick for taking the count. John Beaven
Eight members assembled outside Clevedon Cemetery on a beautiful "blue-sky" morning, ready for a walk along the coast to Kingston Pill as the tide started to recede. Our leader, Jason Williams, quickly spotted a Nuthatch in the cemetery closely followed by very good views of a Goldcrest, a flock of mixed tits, a Chiffchaff and Swallow; and all before we had reached Clevedon Pill. A large roost of Black-headed Gulls and a few Shelduck were noted but the sight of a Kingfisher in flight and a flock of 25 Cormorants overhead were highlights. A very obliging Rock Pipit, several Reed Buntings and more Swallows were seen as we approached the sluice gates at Blind Yeo where a Grey Wagtail was spotted. From here on there were many Meadow Pipits, small flocks of Linnets and Goldfinches, some Skylarks but only one Wheatear. A lone Buzzard and a variety of corvids, including a Raven, were observed. A Sparrowhawk flew along the hedge causing mayhem by setting up the smaller birds and four Lapwings. Along the coast, small flocks of Turnstones, Dunlin and Oystercatchers rose and settled frequently in the company of Curlew, two Black-tailed Godwits and a Common Sandpiper. Redshanks and Little Egrets busied themselves in the steadily emerging creeks and gullies, mixing with gulls and a Grey Heron. With a species count of 45 this was a good morning's bird watching. Thanks to Jason for leading such an enjoyable walk. Ken Carruthers
Fifteen people met to start the walk. From the car park Chiffchaff and Robin were heard and as we made our way up Hobbs Lane we saw Blue Tit, with Swallows and House Martins flying overhead, and some people seeing a Kestrel and a Jay. At the tanks, Cormorant, G C Grebe, Coot, Tufted Duck, Grey Heron, Mallard and 28 Canada Geese were seen. During the walk we counted four to five Buzzards and a party of seven or eight Long-tailed Tits, Goldfinch and lastly two Ravens. We also saw Specked Wood and Red Admiral butterflies. A total of 31 bird species seen or heard. Geoff Harris
Eleven people met by the church on Tickenham moor, on a fine day after the previous one's torrential rain. Numbers of Mistle Thrushes undulated across the fields with a couple perching on the church weather vane, and Crows flew past with nuts pulled from an adjacent walnut tree. More Crows, Rooks and Jackdaws fed amongst the sheep and cattle with a Buzzard above. Swallows flying low almost brushed our bodies as we crossed the levels towards the Land Yeo, and a Kestrel hunted nearby. We had nice groupings of small birds clustered in trees up to Tickenham Ridge – Wren, Robin, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Blue Tits and Chiffchaff, with a Nuthatch calling in adjacent woodland. In the fields past Cadbury Camp, keen-eyed Jan spotted small birds flitting up and down on the woodland margin – a Spotted Flycatcher group of one adult and two young. Green Woodpeckers perched on apple trees in an adjacent orchard. More small birds clustered in the small sunny quarry at the base of the descent, including Chiffchaffs and Goldfinch, with House Sparrows and House Martins towards the moor. As we returned along the Land Yeo we saw a Hobby, five Herons, a Kingfisher, Mute Swans, and two Kestrels hunting in a field newly cut for hay.Oddly we saw not a single Starling, but the total species count was a respectable 34.Also of interest: Wild Basil, a Yellow Waxcap mushroom, and Migrant Hawker and Common Darter dragonflies. (Thanks to Lois and Jan for leading)
Lois Pryce
Six of us met at New Passage on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, later joined by a seventh. We started watching on the Severn Estuary at high tide, soon seeing Herons, Turnstone and many Curlew, Godwits, Black-headed Gulls, Dunlin, Redshank and Oystercatchers, though they were mostly some way off. Along the pill and saltmarsh we saw flocks of Linnets and Starlings with lots of Goldfinches, Meadow Pipits, Pied Wagtails and one Grey Wagtail bobbing on the short grass. All around our heads were Swallows and House Martins (we looked for Sand Martins which have been migrating over, but found none), and from the embankment we saw a Kestrel and Little Egrets, and pools full of Canada Geese. We were encouraged to find one of the Yellow Wagtails seen here recently, by the promise of a bottle of wine to the first to spot one, and we did! – at some distance, but eventually we were confident it wasn't a Grey but a bona fide Yellow busy following a cow munching its way across the marsh. At the end of the side lane we saw one fine Ruff close up in the shallow pools, and more Ruff and Snipe on the edge of the water further off, the latter showing their stripes well. On the return leg we saw and heard Chiffchaff, and had a wonderful sight in one small area of the embankment hedgerow of Stonechats, Wheatears, Whitethroats and Robin perching and flying within a few inches of each other. Back at the Estuary the tide had fallen, and we saw Wigeon, Teal, and many Redshank scurrying along the water's edge, one or two Ringed Plover and more Turnstone hidden in the seaweed. We saw a total of 45 species, which didn't even include common species such as Blackbird, Tits or Dunnock! Many thanks to Lois for leading this very enjoyable saunter along the coastline and to the knowledgeable birders who kindly shared their knowledge with us less-experienced folk!

Elements of Crime
Team D
Professor Martin
November 20, 2011
Elements of Crime
Throughout this paper we are going to cover several key elements of crime. We are going to look how the elements of a crime apply to the overall criminal procedure process and how we can improve the understanding of criminal elements. Then we are going to cover what are the various legal defenses which are used and how does each of these defenses apply when in court and the overall criminal procedure. Last yet importantly we are going to cover the definition of crime, how would you describe the overall criminal process after a crime has been committed and what would happen if one of these steps of the process were removed. So let us get started we have a lot to cover. What are the Elements of Crime
The elements of a crime are the pieces that are needed to prove or demonstrate whether someone is guilty of a crime. There must be enough evidence that is given by the prosecution to prove that all of the elements of a crime are consistent with the case that they are responsible for and that the opposite side or the defense can question or challenge the present case on one ore many of the elements. There are basically four things that must be present with the case and they include: the intent, conduct, concurrence and causation. Once one of these things is missing in the chain a case can break and fall completely apart.
How do the elements of a crime apply to the overall criminal procedure process The elements of a crime apply to the overall criminal process simply by their definition. Using the four basic components of intent, conduct, concurrence and causation can give a process that is important behind the entire criminal procedure process. Intent is used to prove that someone wanted or intended to commit a crime and they were mentally capable of doing it. This is important in all phases of the process. Next is the conduct which means to say whether or not someone who has intent actually conducted a crime. This is where the concurrence comes in trying to prove whether or not there is a connection between the intent and the conduct. The causation is the big bang proving that the intent and the conduct led to the committing of the crime. All of these elements are important and are steppingstones to help protect the citizens who may or may not be innocent. There are also the elements of harm, legality and the punishment that could be included for the technicality purposes of a crime being committed.
A recommendation that I would make to better define/improve understanding of elements of crime is to basically see a case broken down into each category or element and to see examples of each and how the element actually has to be. This could give great eyesight of each element and relate it to everyday cases and crimes that occur. Various Legal Defenses
When a person is charged with a crime, that person has the right to defend himself and avail himself with the best legal representation available. Criminal defense lawyers represent ordinary people charged with violating the law. There are some of the common criminal defenses often used by criminal defense lawyers. The Insanity Defense involves the perpetrator of a crime as being mentally deficient when he or she committed the crime. The basis of an insanity defense is that the individual was not of sane mind when committing the alleged crime and unable to comprehend the consequences of his or her actions; therefore, he/she should not be held criminally liable for the crimes committed during this time. Defendants who attempt the insanity defense must often undergo a series of mental examinations and evaluations before a judge will allow this type of defense to be practiced. Another type of criminal defense is the Intoxication Defense. When a person violates the law while in an altered state of consciousness, he or...
