Thousand Oaks, CA – Ventura County CA dentists Dr. Dar Radfar and Dr. Georgia Haddad of 805-DENTISTRY are offering a significant discount on dental services in their Thousand Oaks and Oxnard dental offices in order to assist people who need dental care in tandem with helping their community food pantry.
Dr. Radfar and Dr. Haddad are looking to assist the people in their community who have lost their dental coverage due to job loss by offering dental services at a fraction of their normal rate. For $39 patients will receive oral examinations, x-rays and dental cleanings, with all proceeds going to the local food pantry.
Both doctors were inspired to sponsor the food drive in their Thousand Oaks and Oxnard offices to give back and help the less fortunate in their community after reading a report in the New York Times about how an increasing number of Americans are going hungry.
Dr. Radfar notes that due to the high unemployment rate in California, many people in their community who lost their job have also lost their dental coverage and are, therefore, going without preventative dental care, which puts them in danger of tooth decay and gum disease that may cause diabetes, liver and heart problems.
"We want to do our part to ensure that our fellow Americans stay healthy and to help those who are going hungry by sponsoring this food drive for the residents of our community," explains Dr. Radfar. He elaborates further by saying $39 will improve a person's dental health and feed 2 families for a week at the same time.
Dr. Haddad adds, "We are also accepting non-perishable food donations which can be dropped off at either of our 2 office locations."
The community discount spearheaded by Drs. Radfar and Haddad to benefit people in need of health care as well as the local food bank will remain in effect until September 28th, 2012.
Details of Dr. Radfar and Dr. Haddad's additional community efforts can be found online at: http://www.805dentistry.com/
"In a troubled economy that affects many Americans, the spirit of giving to others is needed more than ever. The more people who know about this effort, the more needy families can receive aid," Dr. Haddad concludes.

Foreclosures in San Diego County increased 11 percent last month, signaling a return to business as usual after a self-imposed slowdown by the mortgage industry.
The MDA DataQuick research firm yesterday reported 1,232 foreclosures in February, an 11 percent jump over January, but a decline of 6.4 percent from February 2008.
"I think there is a backlog of foreclosures that have been delayed by the legislative process and what amounted to an industrywide moratorium for a couple of months," said Rick Sharga, senior vice president of the RealtyTrac research firm. "The level of foreclosure activity is increasing."
DataQuick also said there were 3,471 notices of default, which mark the start of the foreclosure process. That is the most since the firm began collecting data on such notices in 1992. It marked an increase of nearly 24 percent over January and an increase of 17 percent over February 2008.
Dustin Hobbs, spokesman for California Mortgage Bankers Association, said mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and several major loan servicers had stopped foreclosures during the holiday season. The recent implementation of Senate Bill 1137, which requires loan servicers in California to take more steps to prevent borrowers from losing their homes, contributed to a delay in foreclosure activity.
"It's not unusual that we are seeing foreclosure activity going up," Hobbs said. "Whether this is permanent remains to be seen. There was a huge backlog."
DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said an unknown number of defaulted loans remain in a holding pattern, while lenders wait to see if there will be some kind of bailout from the government.
Lenders also may be considering loan modifications, short sales or deeds in lieu, where the borrower simply hands over the keys, he said.
If lenders are pursuing alternatives to foreclosure, there's a chance the current spike in notices of default won't result in a surge of actual foreclosures later on, LePage added.
In Valley Center, Esmeralda Pacheco, 31, a stay-at-home mom, said she was in a holding pattern for several months as she tried to get her delinquent home loan modified. After two nonprofit loan counselors were unable to secure a reduction in her monthly mortgage payments, Pacheco took charge of the case herself and contacted her loan servicer directly.
"I hounded them every day," she said. "I called until I could talk and get answers."
Her servicer recently agreed to bring her loan current by adding several missed payments to the unpaid balance.
"They are delaying the debt," Pacheco said. "It is a positive thing. It prevented the foreclosure process."
Dave McDonald, president of the San Diego County chapter of the California Association of Mortgage Brokers, said foreclosures will continue to increase if the recession deepens and more people continue to lose their jobs.
Analysts are divided over whether President Barack Obama's recently announced $75 billion foreclosure-prevention program will help a significant number of Californians keep their homes.
DataQuick's LePage said he sees potential for a new wave of foreclosures that result from defaults on risky mortgages in mid-to-high-end neighborhoods. Such mortgages include "stated-income loans" and "payment option adjustables," in which the homeowner can pay a variable amount but any interest not paid is added to the principal.
A DataQuick review of ZIP codes within the county showed the top five foreclosure areas were Nestor 92154, with 55; North Oceanside 92057 with 54; South Chula Vista 91911 with 50; East Escondido 92027 with 46; and Encanto 92114 with 44. The community that ranked highest when measured by foreclosures per 1,000 homes was West Vista 92083, with 34.
Statewide, RealtyTrac said foreclosure filings were reported on 80,775 properties in February, the most of any state and a 5 percent increase from the previous month. The state's foreclosure activity increased 51 percent from February 2008.
Nationwide, RealtyTrac reported foreclosure filings – default notices, auction-sale notices and bank repossessions – on 290,631 properties during February, an increase of nearly 6 percent from the previous month and an increase of nearly 30 percent from February 2008.

Ferrograph RTS2 restoration
Purchased this at the last Harpy' complete with matching ATU (Auxiliary Test Unit).
Spent a bit of time bringing the unit up to peak performance.
Here's a brief run down of the work carried out so far.
1). Clipping of scope output - re-biased amp by adding 82k in parallel with R174.
2). Squegging of oscillator output - replaced R7 which had gone high value.
3). Several noisy pots - carefully drilled hole in casing to allow contact cleaner to be sprayed on the track.
4). Inability to null phase control - replaced and adjusted RV121 which had gone intermittant.
5). Pickup of oscillator output at input socket - fabricated shield to reduce pickup.
6). Pickup of mains hum - re-dressed mains wiring away from pcb's.
7). Pickup of W&F 3,150 Hz tone - disconnected +30 V supply to W&F board*
8). Pickup of scope output by mV meter causing self oscillation on lowest range - connected scope output direct to pcb, by-passing W&F switch.
9). Noisy scope output - bypassed R150 with 82 pF to reduce the HF gain. Now 1dB down at 100kHz which is acceptable and has dramatically reduced the noise level. Also replaced MR31 which had gone noisy.
I've manipulated the diagram to make it easier to follow and print out, see attachments.
* I only intend to use this unit for distortion measurements, so can live without the W&F functions. The changes I've made can be easily reversed.
BTW there's an error on the meter_amp schematic, the moving contact of SW6b should go to the contact j/o R154 + R155 in the position of SW6a shown.

Re: Ferrograph RTS2 restoration
Hi Dave,
I managed to get the residual distortion down to approx 0.015 % THD @ 1 kHz.
Squegging occurred due to too much LF feedback, causing pulse modulation at around 10 Hz PRF of the output signal. It's a bit of an old fashioned term really, more applicable to RF instability in a regenerative receiver.
David, going by the age of the components, this was manufactured late '73 which I think pre-dates the Wayne-Kerr / Rendar merger. The badge on the rear states London and South-Shields, I believe Wayne Kerr were based in Bognor Regis. I do have an Audio Response Analyser which was built a few years later ('77?) which was marketed under the Ferrograph name as well as Wayne-Kerr.
See attached photo's of the holes I drilled in the Colvern wire-wound pot to allow lubrication, and the shield around the input socket (made from a bit of Quality Street tin). The trace nearest the edge of the pcb is the oscillator output which was being picked up by the input socket.
We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

Neat work with the drill, Rob.
Yes, I think that's earlier than the merger. My W-K bridge has Ferrograph 7 knobs on it.
Squegging is where an oscillator is starved of DC power and it pulls down its supply when it runs until it stops, the supply goes higher and it restarts. Hysteresis makes it work as a relaxation oscillator.
A more complex version is 'Motorboating' in a superhet where the audio in the output amp pulls down a weak battery, the LO stops, so the sound stops, and the battery recuperates a little.... and so on.

There was a time when car buying was simple. You picked one of a handful of models on the market and you picked what color you wanted it in, or in the famous words of Henry Ford when speaking of the Model T, "You can have any color you want – so long as it's black".
Fast forward to today and car buying can be a sea of options and features that, while useful, can be expensive for what could be limited utility. Let's look at some of the most popular options and what to consider when checking the box on the order form.
By federal mandate, rear view cameras are soon to be standard on all vehicles. Many customers have taken this as reason enough to eschew sensor packages. If I can see it, why do I need to hear it? In terms of additional options, sensors are fairly inexpensive, running between $100-300.
Having additional audio cues, especially in areas like the front can be extremely helpful in maneuvering and parking modern cars which have increasingly less visibility due to stricter safety standards dictating the design of the body shell. Note that some sensors must be purchased as part of larger tech packages.
Why would I need navigation in my car if I have my phone? A pretty strong argument among car buyers, especially when navigation packages can add a no-way-insignificant chunk of change to the price tag (between $500-$1,200 in some vehicles). Some cars have systems that are primitive and outdated compared to the always updating and connected phone apps we use daily.
In my experience, however, customers have told me the number one thing they regretted when buying a car was opting out of navigation. Your phone can do a great many things, and with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay the issue of not being able to use the screen is fading fast, but there are some valid use cases for having an always-on, always-ready system that doesn't use your phone's battery and data.
You either love sunroofs or hate them. In my entire history of selling cars, I never met someone who had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about them. It's easy to see why it's divisive when the option can easily break an extra grand on the final line, but when people want them they refuse to accept a vehicle without one. Do you actually need it though? The most popular use case for one is to leave it popped open to vent out hot air when parked, which could easily be accomplished by cracking a window.
You may be the exception who loves to feel the wind in your hair and have the sun on your face or moonlight in the cabin but the majority of owners with one will operate it only a handful of times during the vehicle's lifetime. If you really want to experience the open air, you might want to consider a convertible if it's available, but that is an even more adventurous and significant decision.
Depending on the make and model, this feature may be outright included or could be had for very little added cost. Picture yourself walking through the parking lot in the middle of the night, you reach into your pocket and, like magic, your car springs to life. It beckons to your call. While this really helps validate your new purchase in how slick it is the novelty can wear off pretty quickly for some people.
Remote start systems do have a less-romanticized function that makes it all the worthwhile: the ability to get your climate just right. No longer will you have to endure a freezing car in the start of the morning or a convection oven at the height of the afternoon (I hear you, sunroof owners) because all you have to do is push a button on the remote a few minutes before going out to the car. Truly we are living in the future.
All the options that I have described above fall into the 'nice to have' category. It's not looking for 4WD or a V8 engine. It's not having room for two children and their entire soccer team or just two seats for a weekend cruise. These are options that, if you're interested, you can keep an eye out when walking a dealer's lot. At the same time if a vehicle has options which are a little extra than what you wanted then you may find a dealership can be very flexible in offering you more bang for buck to take the one they have over the exact one you want. This list hopefully helps gives some arguments to live with these extras if the price is right, or to let go of some things you don't actually need.

On cooking for Shabbat and Pesach: "Let all who are hungry come and eat"My newest piece takes its title from the words of the Passover Seder, which exemplify the spirit of Jewish entertaining. It appears in the Nissan 5770 issue of Kosher Spirit, the OK's in-house magazine. I wrote it after I made a really yummy fish course which three of my four guests refused to eat. It speaks to what I've learned as a hostess and as a semi-picky eater in the homes of others.
"Let all who are hungry come and eat."by Aliza Libman
How to create a Shabbos or Yom Tov menu that will make all your guests happy year round.
Second only to the terror of not having enough food for all your Shabbos guests is the prospect of serving your guests food they can't—or won't—eat. Though you may know your family's food preferences inside and out, when you're filling your table with guests, you add a layer of uncertainty that can be eased with careful planning.

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Landowners say control is a factor in tenant selection When Jake Clark talks about weed control, you can bet he'll say the word stewardship in the same sentence. That's because the 35-year-old corn and soybean producer insists on the latter when he addresses the former on the ground he farms with his dad, Pete, near Eagle, Mich. Together, the two men have worked to build their operation to its current 10,000 tillable acres, 15% of which they own and 85% they lease. Careful, consistent and considerate weed-control practices are an important part of their ongoing success. For one reason, much of the ground they lease lies in the shadow of the bustling state capital, Lansing. For another, the property owners they work with are increasingly concerned about the impact of weeds, especially herbicide-resistant weeds, on land values. "As a farmer, you want people to know you are doing everything the right way, and that you're a good steward of the land," says Clark, the sixth generation to work ground his great, great grandfather Jonas purchased more than 175 years ago. Weed control plays a greater role than ever in leasing agreements, according to a 2010 study commissioned by Syngenta of 200 farm managers and rural appraisers based in the Midwest and South. More than 75% of respondents said the use of weed resistance management practices influences their tenant selection. Appearance matters. "The highest bidder doesn't always earn the right to farm the ground," notes Brent Bidner, vice president of Hertz Farm Management, based in Monticello, Ill. Bidner, who manages 20,000 crop acres in central Illinois, says an important part of his role involves helping clients identify farmers they want to lease their land to long-term. That means taking more than financial benefits into consideration. Good references are paramount to the selection process. Bidner also evaluates soil fertility records and the appearance and condition of ground the lease applicant currently farms. "How the guy's crops look, his tillage practices, how clean his fields are, all of those things factor into the decision," Bidner says. He adds that weed control has become a more important consideration in Illinois leasing agreements because of concerns about herbicide-resistant waterhemp. University of Illinois Extension weed scientist Aaron Hager says glyphosate-resistant waterhemp is present on 75% of the state's tillable acres today. Worse yet, Hager has worked with one waterhemp population that exhibits resistance to four chemistries (glyphosate, atrazine, ALS and PPO inhibitors). According to the Syngenta study, the perceived cost of managing glyphosate-resistant weeds alone more than doubled in a four-year period, notes Chuck Foresman, Syngenta global corn crop protection research and development lead. He says survey participants reported their perceived cost of control increased from $8 per acre in 2006 to $16.90 per acre in 2010. Be ready with a plan. Iowa State University Extension field agronomist Jim Fawcett tells farmers renting new ground to assume resistant weeds are present and to adopt an integrated weed management strategy. That includes using multiple herbicide chemistries to address weeds. "Go out with a pre-emergence that has residual and then come back with a post product," Fawcett advises. Another option Fawcett recommends is the LibertyLink cropping system, which he says has not been widely used in his area. "You can use it on corn or soybean ground," he says. Hertz Farm Management's Bidner adds: "We also want farmers to use labeled herbicide rates and not reduced rates, which can contribute to control breaks." If feasible, Luke Bozeman, BASF technical market manager, advises farmers to grow corn the first year they rent a new piece of ground. "You have more weed-control options with corn," he notes. Fawcett reminds farmers to consider the challenge carryover herbicides might present this season, following the 2012 drought. In particular, he cautions farmers to not seed alfalfa on any ground where atrazine was used this past year. "Some people have been able to do that in the past without much if any consequence, but I don't believe that will be the case this year," he says. Fawcett encourages farmers to not underestimate the power of scouting fields, especially new ones. "Familiarize yourself with where problem areas could be in each field and what weed species are out there," he advises, "That's one of the best investments you can make to address weed issues on new ground." Be a Student of the Land For Michigan farmer Jake Clark, establishing a weed-control program on newly leased property starts with studying the land. He gathers and evaluates any available information for each field before deciding on production practices or products. Here are some of the steps he takes to be a respected tenant: Learn the neighborhood. The herbicide program you use for wide-open ground might well need to differ from those fields that butt up against housing developments. "You have to be spot-on with applications when there are 100 houses you're spraying next to; the applicator has to really know what he's doing—this isn't like just driving a tractor," Clark says. He credits a 30-year employee, Rick Kleinfelt, with Clark Farm's successful herbicide-application process. Prior to applying a herbicide, Kleinfelt takes into consideration the field location, matches the correct spray nozzle to the herbicide used, evaluates weather conditions and also times spray activity to minimize drift potential. Learn the field. Try to find out what soil types and weed species are in each field prior to selecting herbicides. "We've found one herbicide might work better than another, even if they control the same weed species because of the soil profile in that particular field," Clark explains. County soil maps and local retailers who know the area are good resources. After application, scout new fields frequently during the season to see how well your weed control measures have held up. Make notes of weed breaks, specific species and their location in the field for reference the following spring. Learn what the landowner values. Some landowners want more information than others about the type of products and practices you plan to use on their ground. Some rental agreements spell out specific requests, while some are still informal. Either way, Clark says landowners appreciate knowing about the investments you make in their ground, both in time and money, to keep their property weed-free.

President Snyder Ushers in Spring Semester
To the Case Western Reserve University Community:
As a new semester begins, it is my pleasure to welcome students back to campus. I hope you all had a restful and refreshing break. For those who didn't hear before they left, the Cleveland Foundation helped us finish the year on a most positive note: It awarded us a $3.6 million grant to our Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation. This effort, led by Dean Norman Tien and Professor of Engineering Iwan Alexander, offers enormous potential for our region; we have already signed an agreement with the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners to explore the feasibility of a wind power demonstration project on Lake Erie, and have applied for significant state funding for other energy initiatives through the new Ohio Research Scholars Program. The institute builds on existing strengths like the Wright Fuel Cell Center, and can play a key role in making our state a leader in a rapidly growing field.
I spoke about our energy initiatives as part of my first City Club address Friday. My remarks there focused on what I consider the mission of the modern research university: To solve society's greatest challenges. Case Western Reserve University has a proud history of fulfilling that mission by leading learning and discovery. Back in 1887 Albert Michelson and Edward Morley performed an experiment that laid the foundation for Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. In 1954 Dr. Frederick Robbins won a share of the Nobel Prize for work that contributed to Dr. Jonas Salk's development of a vaccine for polio. Today scholars across our campus conduct groundbreaking research with the potential to help the blind see, rebuild damaged cartilage and muscles and dramatically improve our ability to treat and cure cancer.
Our faculty does more than discover new knowledge; we also help increase understanding. Richard Boyatzis at the Weatherhead School of Management is internationally recognized for his work on emotional intelligence. Ted Steinberg in the College of Arts and Sciences is one of our nation's most accomplished environmental historians. And Michael Scharf in the School of Law is a tireless leader in the battle against genocide and war crimes.
Our students are blessed to be part of this community of scholars, and we know that many make the most of the opportunity. Consider, as just one recent example, Paul Buchheit, one of Google's first employees and an inventor of gmail. Teaching and mentoring is an essential part of our work, for they help prepare future generations for their own achievements and innovations.
As many of you know, today we are amid a major strategic planning effort designed to help our institution reach even more of its potential. Interim Provost Jerry Goldberg is leading a university-wide task force, and every school and college also has a planning group of its own. At this, the midpoint of our academic year, that work is picking up in intensity and specificity; I encourage everyone - students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends and other supporters—to participate in the process. We need your ideas, insights and responses to proposals; please watch for additional information about the effort from Dr. Goldberg this week, and also visit http://www.case.edu/provost/uplan/.
Thank you, and welcome to a new year.
Barbara R. Snyder

Paul Mears, Sr. had a vision for a successful business. Like all great businesses, Mears was built upon a simple idea: provide great customer service - all the time. He found inspiration from one of his favorite quotes from Socrates, "The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear."
So, in 1939, he bought three taxicabs and began to run his business with this simple plan. Along the way he formalized our five core values: respect, integrity, safety, enthusiasm and efficiency. He attracted talented team members and gave them the freedom to do their jobs, and he always listened to our customers, tirelessly working to surpass their expectations.
Today, Mears owns three taxi service companies with over 600 taxicabs servicing the greater Orlando area. It was Paul Sr.'s leadership and commitment that fueled our growth and set us apart from our competitors.
Mears was solely focused on the taxicab business until 1983, when Paul Mears, Jr. saw an opportunity to expand into the shuttle van business. He purchased 19 shuttle vans and Mears Motor Shuttle has been the Orlando International Airport concessionaire ever since. Bringing the same formula for success his father had created decades earlier, Paul Jr. plunged into the new endeavor with drive and determination.
Just five short years later, Paul Jr. had further expanded Mears into the Luxury Vehicle and Motor Coach business. Mears became synonymous with outstanding service and a leader in the ground transportation industry. Currently, we operate 70 shuttle vans, 300 luxury vehicles (sedans, limousines, SUVs, and vans), and 220 motor coaches.
With the third generation of Mears family members now in leadership roles, Paul Sr.'s vision has been passed on. We continue to expand our signature service into the global market and remain true to the very principles our founder promoted so many years ago.

The only thing better than a striped tea cozy is a striped illusion tea cozy! These awesome cozies have a set of vertical stripes, and then appear to have a spiral or chevron wrapping their chubby bodies to boot. The Woolly Thoughts site is full of great mathematical knitting; for art geeks, there's even a knit Mondrian illusion. (Thanks, Meara!)

Today the Obama Administration is announcing a very small effort to reduce (only "unnecessary and wasteful") deficit spending, and yet liberal groups will attack them for promoting a policy that will kill the economy–or at least prolong the recession. And conservatives will continue to argue that any spending done in the name of "stimulus" is by definition "wasteful"–especially if they don't get how a less-idle economy might at all benefit themselves personally.
But it's possible to argue for more and better stimulus at the same time that you call for greater fiscal responsibility. Two prime examples, from two of my favorite "fiscal hawks" who can walk and chew gum at the same time…
First, my boss Bob Bixby says it so well that the President himself copies it (from a CQ Weekly story by Clea Benson (accessible by subscription only)):
Robert Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition, is at the forefront of the effort to publicize the dangers of uncontrolled federal spending. But even he worries that the economy is not yet at a point where it makes sense to forgo extending unemployment benefits and certain other federal supports, as long as they are carefully targeted at preventing layoffs that would exacerbate the economic downturn.
"Right now, I think that there's still a case to be made for some aid to the states if it is a pretty direct form of injecting stimulus," Bixby said last week.
The need to rein in deficits and the national debt should not be confused with near-term problems such as the current unemployment rate, Bixby said: "There's no question that we do have to turn our attention to fiscal consolidation, because we're on an unsustainable track. That unsustainable track has nothing to do with the short-term economy."
President Obama echoed Bixby in a speech last week on the economy at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "Now, the economy is still fragile, so we can't put on the brakes too quickly," he said. "We have to do what it takes to ensure a strong recovery. A growing economy will unquestionably improve our fiscal health, as will the steps we take in the short-term to put Americans back to work."
…and the Brookings Institution's Bill Gale explains in an interview with the Atlantic's Derek Thompson:
So we want the economy to recover today. But we can't run a deficit equal to 50 percent of government spending forever. How do you balance these goals: short-term stimulus and long-term balance?
What I like to say is that right now, the economy is more important than the budget. We need to stimulate in the short term and get order in the long term. Those aren't tradeoffs. If you just stimulate now, then you create worries about the long-term situation and it creates investor uncertainty [which puts upward pressure on interest rates]. If you just do fiscal discipline now, you help the budget but hurt the economy, and then that hurts the budget again [lower production means lost tax revenue]. But, if you stimulate now, coupled with medium to long-term deficit plan, you cap that potential increase in interest rates.
Critics from both extremes basically believe that achieving both goals (short-term stimulus and longer-term fiscal responsibility) isn't possible, or that greater success at one means failure with the other. So they only push for their favored goal, and with their hyperpartisan rhetoric they dismiss the other goal as stupid and evil. And the rhetoric works with many Americans–and as a result, we risk screwing up on both goals. We neither walk nor chew gum.

Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century
Monthly Review Press, Dec 1, 1998 - Political Science - 460 pages
This widely acclaimed book, first published in 1974, was a classic from its first day in print. Written in a direct, inviting way by Harry Braverman, whose years as an industrial worker gave him rich personal insight into work, Labor and Monopoly Capital overturned the reigning ideologies of academic sociology.
This new edition features an introduction by John Bellamy Foster that sets the work in historical and theoretical context, as well as two rare articles by Braverman, "The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century" (1975) and "Two Comments" (1976), that add much to our understanding of the book.

Have read this about a year ago and I remember it for clarity of thought. It was a long read for me, and some chapters I struggled to keep my motivation. However the content of the book clearly lays out how the monetary/economic paradigm which has stayed the same since time memorable, is crashing against technology, and more importantly the technological unemployment of today. When automation is taking over more and more fields of production, how do we structure our society accordingly? It points to some of the root problems of our common global community.

Easter is next weekend and that means that it is time to start thinking about your menu! The Easter long weekend provides plenty of opportunities for feasting whether it be a special long weekend breakfast or brunch or appetizers for an Easter get-together and the big family Easter Sunday dinner. Most of the focus on Easter weekend will go to the Easter Sunday dinner which will most likely be a big meal with the centre piece likely being a roast and it can be a ham, a turkey, beef or even lamb! Of course you will need some tasty sides to go with your main and lets not forget about dessert! Although I really enjoy a nice big roast for Easter dinner I sometimes like to change things up a bit and salmon or lamb tagine is a great way to go. With the extra time on the long weekend I like to do at least one special breakfast or brunch and there are plenty of great ways to go! No matter what your plans are for your Easter weekend dining, you cannot go wrong with one or more of these tasty dishes!

In-N-Out President Lynsi Torres is America's Youngest Female Billionaire
Thanks to the power of cheap and reliable fast food burgers (and a huge secret menu), the title for America's youngest female billionaire goes to Lynsi Torres, the 30-year-old president and owner of In-N-Out and granddaughter of In-N-Out's founders Harry and Esther Snyder. This week, Bloomberg profiled the the media-shy Torres, who also keeps a low profile in her company: "Few in the restaurant industry have met or know much about the hamburger heiress."
Bloomberg didn't get to interview Torres for their profile, but here's what they found out about her: she is an avid drag racer, is a mother of twins, has been married three times, recently bought a $17.4 million mansion in Bradbury, California, and doesn't have a college degree. When Torres turned 30 she gained half of the ownership in In-N-Out; when she turns 35 she'll gain full ownership.
In-N-Out is valued at $1.1 billion, although In-N-Out's vice president of planning and development, Carl Van Fleet, told Bloomberg "In-N-Out Burger is a private company and this valuation of the company is nothing more than speculation based on estimates from people with no knowledge of In-N-Out's financials, which are and always have been private."
