Behind all the chaos and confusion regarding the consumption of Maggi and bread, we were forced to question our own eating habits. We still crave for yummy Maggi noodles and you almost start salivating the moment the room is filled with the aroma of Maggi noodles..Sigh. Sad I can't do that anymore. It all started when an officer of the UP Food Safety and Drug Administration based in Barabanki ordered tests on a dozen samples of Nestle's Maggi instant noodles at the state laboratory in Gorakhpur.
The Gorakhpur lab tested for monosodium glutamate (MSG) to check Nestle's claim that Maggi had none. MSG stimulates the nervous system and makes food appear tastier. It is widely used in "Indian Chinese" food. In "extreme cases", MSG may cause some reactions in the body; "however, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms," according to a Mayo Clinic note on allergies.
After scaring us to death, they decide to make a comeback to the market again. But what's wrong with the bread now? They say bread has cancer causing agents. (You gotto be kidding me! Is there anything on earth that is edible?) Well, I know there are many frustrated souls out there like me who would not bother about such bans, but I am afraid it has to be taken seriously because as the old saying goes 'Health is Wealth' and we need to know everything about the food we eat.
I decided to list out some other food items that never came to highlight even though we have known for long about the side effects of these delicious and crunchy food items. Hope it helps you in understanding the harm it causes to our body and while I know it is difficult to avoid all this but we should certainly try to reduce the consumption levels to a certain limit.
Lays and Kurkure(Potato Chips)
While Saif Ali khan and Ranbir Kapoor are busy advertising to us potatoes that are crispy and hot off the oven, what we need is a reality check to help us understand the chemicals used in such junk food. While we cannot expect Parineeti Chopra to tell us that Kurkure is not good for health, it is high time we realize what we consume. Potato chips are never made from fresh potatoes, they have high level of sodium that is enough to give you a heart disease and let's not forget the amount of trans fat such packed food have. Moreover, Kurkure contains high level of chemicals and plastic substance in it. Alright! This sounds way too dangerous than maggi.
If you think a bowl of cereals are the perfect way to start your day then you might be wrong. To turn the grains into their familiar flake, loop or shredded shape, a food extrusion process is used. The high temperature and pressure involved basically strips away the grains' nutrients. Also added to this is huge amount of sugar and salt added to cereals. Most packaged muesli contains soy lecithin, a by-product of the soybean oil production. While you may be thinking that Ragi, Oats and other grain cereals are healthy, look again and reduce your cereal consumption right away.
Red also means danger
Right from delicious chicken 65 to roasted peanuts to processed food the color red is the most consumed food color everywhere. This is the most-widely used and consumed dye. Red 40 is a certified color that comes from petroleum distillates or coal tars. It may accelerate the appearance of immune system tumors in mice. It also causes hypersensitivity (allergy-like) reactions in some consumers and might trigger hyperactivity in children.
Pickles and Vinegar
We happily buy pickles and vinegars sold in cheap plastic covers and bottles not realizing the side effects of it. Fermenting is usually longer term and very acidic, it is very unhealthy to store such things in plastic containers. Even if u buy it, please make sure to immediately transfer it to glass or pickle jars.
We are the only living species who consume species milk. While many may disagree with me but after a certain age, milk should be avoided. According to the nutritionist and author Patrick Holford, we lose the ability to digest lactose, a major component of milk, as we age. Disrupted digestion causes bloating, food intolerances, makes our bodies more acidic and provokes an inflammatory response. There are many more alternatives to it like soy, almond, coconut and cashew milk.
Processed food
Apart from making you fat, processed food are very bad for health. Processed food is foods that have been chemically processed and made solely from refined ingredients and artificial substances. There are no nutrients or food value in such products. Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats. Several studies show that when people eat more of these oils, they have a significantly increased risk of heart disease.
Protein is a key part of a healthy diet – but the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends a daily intake of 50g of protein for adults. With an increasing demand for the chicken meat, there are an increasing number of injected chickens consumed by many. These injected chickens can later cause hormonal problems in our body. While we may not be able to differentiate between non-injected and injected ones, we need to keep in mind that chicken should not be consumed on a daily basis.
I know you have hundreds of articles and magazines claiming coke is bad for the health which is why I decided it to keep it for the last so that the readers do not get annoyed straight away. You already must have heard that coke has high level of pesticides and sugar. But trust me guys! It's been a year now since I left coke and my body can already feel the difference apart from the tremendous weight loss I have had.

'I feel like we've lost a piece of Matilda' - Mother's desperate plea for help locating late daughter's doll
A heartbroken mother has made a desperate plea for help after a doll belonging to her late daughter was lost during a day trip to Dublin Zoo.
The toy was given to Matilda Gray shortly after she was born in July 2013 and was vital for mum Claire as she dealt with her daughter's death just three months later.
But earlier this week, on a trip to Dublin Zoo in the Phoenix Park, Claire dropped the toy and now she has issued an appeal for help locating it.
Speaking from her home in Newtownards, Co Down, Ms Gray told Independent.ie: "I am absolutely devastated, I feel like we've lost a piece of Matilda."
She explained that Matilda was her first child but shortly after her birth the baby was diagnosed with Edward's syndrome.
"My little baby daughter Matilda grew her angel wings in 2013 aged three months. She was given a gorgeous little dolly with her name on it when she was born.
"We call her 'Matilda Doll'. Matilda touched this doll. It was same size as her and is so hugely precious to us. I've cuddled Matilda doll to sleep every night since Matilda passed away. She even came to hospital with me when Matilda's baby brother Archie was born.
"She comes with us as a way of Matilda being with us for family photos, which are so painful after losing your child as she is always missing.
"She comes with us for all Matilda's little brother Archie's "firsts" such as first time at Santa. On Monday 30th May it was Archies first time at the Dublin Zoo so of course we brought Matilda doll too as Matilda never actually got to go to the zoo which breaks my heart."
Claire explained that they were in the Zoo on Monday and somewhere between the zoo shop, gate and Lord's Walk carpark "Matilda doll" went missing.
She explained how the loss has devastated her: "She means more than words can express. For us she is a piece of our little Matilda. I feel so stupid for losing her and very distressed. Please please please help me to get her back home."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Claire on Facebook

Medicare Supplement Plan Comparison
Before choosing the appropriate health care Plan for registration, it is imperative to complete the process of comparing Medicare care Plans to ensure that you choose the correct Plan from among the various options available. There are 10 Plans to select that are specific to Medicare supplemental Plans, and it is easy to make the wrong decision because you have not had enough time to examine the options available before you. Imagine that you have made the decision to go through the process of comparing plans at https://www.medicaresupplementplans2020.com/ for the Medicare supplement Plan 2020; How should the available options be analyzed?
- Look for what appropriate health insurance you need that is not insured by basic Medicare. Do you need coinsurance for Part A, nursing co-insurance, Part B coinsurance, a hospice co-payment, additional costs for Part D, Part A, or Part B deductibles, or a combination of the above? This is the most important step in going through a process of comparing Medicare supplemental Plans.
Keep in mind that the reason you choose an additional Plan is because your basic Medicare cannot guarantee all of your medical needs. That is why you need to increase the effort you make to find the Plan most suited to your needs.
- It's time to look at the available options after locating the health insurance that is needed for you. As mentioned above, there are a total of 10 complementary Plans available: Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N. Each Plan is made up of a particular combination of the above alternatives. Benefit Plan A is the least complete Plan, while Plan F is the best option that meets all of your needs, including emergency travel support.
- After making comparisons, reduce the options to at least 2, at most, 3 options. This is where you spend more time analyzing your options. This is the main part of the Medicare supplement Plan comparison process. In the end, prioritize 2 or 3 Plans according to your needs and according to your preferences.
- The next thing you should do is analyze your current financial situation. Which of the Plans is appropriate for what you can pay monthly as a reward? Try to live by your means; If what you need is a D plan, but what you can afford is Plan A, you may have to come to an agreement. If it really is an urgent need, you have no reason not to go beyond your means to get the Plan that meets your needs.
- Choose the right Plan based on the careful evaluation of your financial position and your needs. Unfortunately, there are no strict rules to guide you in choosing the best Plan. The analysis you did in step 3 will provide everything you need to come to an informed conclusion.
Do not enroll in a medical Plan without first going through a process of comparing Medicare supplemental Plans. You may end up spending a lot on a Plan that you don't need, or decide on a Plan that does not meet your health care needs.

It's Not My Last Visit
Been here few times and find the food above par for a buffet. Service is prompt & friendly, selection for lunch buffet is nice. Really enjoy the dim sum & salt & pepper squid (enjoy seafood). Prices are reasonable for lunch, seating is ample as it was at Ponderosa many years ago. Nice treat once in a while. :)
Love This Place
Always very busy, with lots of fresh food coming out regularly, and excellent service. Frequent customer!
April D.
Service is Rapid and Pleasant
This is my 11-year-old son's favourite restaurant. He loves the speed of service. This is unusual in St. John's :-) He loves the noodles and usually has three plates. A friend who ate from the menu said the food was really good. I try to make healthy choices and this restaurant has at least two dishes with lots of veggies on the buffet. The rest is your typical Chinese restaurant food, full of salt and fried. I am not super keen on this type of Canadianized Chinese food. However for this type of a restaurant, it's a "best in class".
Mary-Frances S.
Quick Meal
I have eaten at City Lights on a few occasions. There is plenty of variety. Food is always hot. The display is always full. Staff are friendly and courteous. I like the idea that you don't have to wait around and when done just go to the counter to pay. Great place when you are in for a quick meal with little time to spare.

Marketing and Communications Graduate Scheme
Difficulty rating 60.0 / 100
Interview processI was contacted by a member of the graduate recruitment team who left me a message to arrange a time for the interview. When I called back she conducted the interview then rather than arranging another time so be prepared for this. When calling back I was not given a direct line to contact the person so had to go through the switchboard and be transferred several times before someone was able to put me through to the right place.
The interview lasted about 15-20 minutes and she started by explaining a bit more about the role and then asked some questions about the company and about the specific role. Then some competency questions about how I have demonstrated certain skills that they value at ovo.
Finally she finished with some more general questions eg. What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done and why?
Following this she told me that I would hear back from her within a week but it ended up taking about 3 weeks to hear anything back and I hadn't reached the assessment centre unfortunately.
Most difficult questionExplain how you demonstrate the characteristics that we value eg bright, intuitive etc. she named about 5 traits and I panicked and started to answer and then forgot what all the characteristics were that she mentioned so didn't give a very relevant answer.
Interview tipsRead up on the role and how you'd be suited for it. Read up on the company and their values and think how you can demonstrate these.

The Big Tent, Revisited.
I love the Interactive Advertising Bureau. And I love Randall Rothenberg. As someone who was among the early board members back in the mid-90s, I'm gratified and more than a little amazed at the scale and effectiveness of the organization on Randall's watch. Lobbyists, standards, tests, thousand-attendee conferences….the IAB is in every way a big-time trade organization. But for whom, exactly?
Like 16th century Christianity, the IAB has reached an existential moment where it must account for the diverging visions and interests of internal factions if it's to avoid a schism. The Anne Boleyn issue of today is the decision by Mozilla to block third party cookies by default in upcoming releases of the Firefox browser. The IAB's full throated defense of third party cookies — IAB General Counsel Mike Zaneis called it a "nuclear first strike," — has now evoked a mini-firestorm with some publishers, a flame that is being stoked by the publisher-only OPA.
You see, rightly or wrongly, some publishers believe that a world of only first-party cookies – those set by (or in direct coordination with) sites – would help them counteract the dominance of networks, resellers, exchanges and ad-tech companies. Meanwhile, the networks and other third parties credibly argue that they are a vital accelerant and lubricant in the flow of marketer dollars onto the web and into the hands of small-medium sized websites. And just in case the situation wasn't complex enough, layer on the fact that publishers — the ones who would ostensibly benefit from third party cookies going away – have come to rely on those same networks and third parties for a big chunk of their monthly revenue. "The IAB represents the sellers of interactive advertising inventory — publishers, in the parlance — plainly and simply, with no nuances attached," according to a recent post by Rothenberg on the issue. But every seller is not, in fact, a publisher. So nuance still abounds. The problem – a thorny one– is that every company who pays dues to the IAB thinks it's their IAB.
So what's a trade organization to do?
Perhaps the answer – and the bulwark against further fraying of the coalition – is for the IAB to claim a more neutral mantra. I personally have no dog in this fight. My clients run the gamut from the biggest, most data-protective publishers to the most cookie-dependent third-party networks. My business is about helping them sell more effectively regardless of their data position, customer base or competitive set. I only care about the continued flow of more and more marketing dollars into digital media; I want it to keep raining so that things will grow. I know that's what the IAB cares most about too. Supporting the growth of all digital spending means not having to take a hardline position on something as specific as third party cookies. And that may ultimately be the only way to keep all the partisans fighting under the same banner.

Story highlights
- Striking teachers rescue three people from blazing home
- They dropped picket signs after noticing house fire
(CNN)Five striking teachers are being praised for their quick action after spotting a house fire in Ambridge, Pennsylvania.
The teachers were picketing in front of a school Thursday near Pittsburgh, when a fire broke out in a house across the street, authorities said.
"A lady ... started shouting, 'Call 911!'," Paul Hladio, one of the teachers told CNN affiliate WTAE.
That's when the teachers dropped their pickets signs and sprang into action. One said she sprinted across the street, almost getting hit by a car.
They then made frantic efforts to find the occupants in the minutes before fire crews arrived -- and helped them get out of the building.
Home heavily damaged by blaze
"I was pounding the front door, and eventually I think the front door just kicked through," Karen DeMarco said. Three people were rescued from inside the home -- including an elderly man who had trouble walking, another person with medical oxygen and a former student who DeMarco had taught, WTAE reported.
No one was injured in the fire that heavily damaged the home.
"If the teachers wouldn't have been here ... there's a chance somebody could have been very seriously injured or even worse," said Ambridge Fire Chief Rob Gottschalk.
Nearly 190 teachers walked out of classrooms on Tuesday in a dispute with the school district over pay and benefits.

Options for Roman Shades
Roman shades can be made from many different types of materials, from heavy cloth fabrics to wood (sleek roller shade materials) to natural materials (fibers) including bamboo and other fiber products (grasses). There are also a variety of ways that Roman shades can be folded up or collapsed—each lending a different look and facilitating a different design.
The two main options include:
Classic Roman Shades – Classic Roman shades or flat Roman shades are clean and traditional looking. The bottom fold is permanent, ensuring that the shades always stack neatly for a subtle, unobtrusive look when raised. When flat, no seams are visible. Flat Roman shades roll up neatly. When they are in use, they lie flat.
- Hobbled Roman Shades – Hobbled Roman shades or looped shades actually have interesting folds, giving a look of luxury and elegance to the room. Some have just a curve at the bottom; others such as the tulip shade utilize more cascading fabric folds for a traditional appearance. Many of these shades are decorative in nature.

Long Beach City College Professor Coleen Sterritt awarded Prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship
2016-04-26 · By Editor
Long Beach City College Professor and Sculpture Program Coordinator Coleen Sterritt has been awarded the highly prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for 2016.
She was recognized in the field of Fine Arts for her prior exceptional achievement as a sculptor as well as her promise in future accomplishment.
"We are extremely proud to have one of our talented faculty members recognized with this tremendous honor," said LBCC Superintendent-President Eloy Ortiz Oakley. "We congratulate Coleen on this achievement, which will serve as an inspiration to our students and faculty."
Guggenheim Fellowships are grants awarded for six to 12 months to help provide fellows with the time needed to work with as much creative freedom as possible.
This year the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded 175 fellowships (including three joint fellowships) to 178 scholars, artists and scientists on April 5. The candidates were chosen from a pool of nearly 3,000 in the United States and Canada. Sterritt was one of just 23 recipients who were awarded in the Fine Arts.
"To be honored for your prior achievement and future promise by your peers is a major accomplishment," Sterritt said. "I am absolutely thrilled and very honored to be that my work has been noted by this award."
The Foundation has been awarding fellowships since 1925. Fellows are chosen based on recommendations from distinguished practitioners in the competition fields.
Sterritt said that during her fellowship, which begins later this year, she plans to spend the year working on a sculpting process called "direct burnout casting," which she has not yet explored.
Sterritt has been sculpting for nearly 40 years. Her sculptures and drawings have been shown in exhibits throughout the United States and Europe, and her work is held in both public and private collections.
Sterritt has previously received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts; Art Matters Inc., in New York; the J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for the Visual Arts; and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
She joined LBCC in 1996 and has been a professor and faculty coordinator of the sculpture program since 1998.
"It's our belief in the visual and media arts department that to be an effective educator of studio art that we need to be practicing artists, and that [experience] goes directly into the classroom," Sterritt said.

In the world of the painting, Nevergiveup, which now adorns a building at bustling intersection in the heart of Santiago, Chile, and in reality, both are as tall as the buildings that surround them.
In a phone interview with Creators Project, Italian muralist Millo, a.k.a., Francesco Camillo Giorgino, says he chose to paint Nevergiveup because the building is so centrally located. "I knew there was a possibility that a lot of people would see it so I wanted it to carry a message," he explains. That message, he says, is about caring for the natural world and changing our relationship with the environment. He believes the message is universal and can be understood by everyone, even city dwellers.

Celebrating Seniors - Alan Alda Turns 80
New octogenarian senior citizen Alan Alda was named Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo when he was born on January 28, 1936 in New York City.

The multi-talented Alan Alda has won six Emmy Awards so far in a film career that has spanned 7 decades, beginning with his first appearance in a guest-starring role on The Phil Silvers Show in 1958.
Five of his Emmy Awards came courtesy of his performances for acting (Captain Hawkeye Pierce), directing and writing on M*A*S*H (1972-1983). M*A*S*H is still today, the series Alda's baby boomers and senior citizen fans most closely associate him with. Below, an older Alan Alda reflected back on his M*A*S*H experience in 2008.
Alan Alda earned another Emmy Award for his acting on The West Wing (2002-2004), as U.S. Senator Owen Brewster.

However, Alan Alda's longest-running television series gig was hosting the informational television show Scientific American Frontiers (1993-2007). Science is and has always been, a major interest of Alan Alda's.
Alan Alda overcame polio at age 7 and received his B.A. from Fordham University in 1956. During his time there, he began his professional acting career and met his future wife Arlene Weiss.
Alda came by his acting talent honestly; both his younger half-brother Antony Alda, and his Italian father Alphonso Giuseppe Giovanni Roberto D'Abruzzo, known professionally as Robert Alda, were both actors. Alan Alda performed with his father on television in Europe while still in university, and his father Robert later guest-starred twice with him on M*A*S*H. Below, Alan Alda and Robert Alda on a 1975 episode of M*A*S*H.

After graduating from university, Alan Alda served in the U.S. Army Reserve at Fort Benning, and then during a six month tour of duty in Korea, mostly in charge of a mess tent. He married Arlene Weiss on March 15 1957, and they were soon joined by their daughters Eve (b. 1958), Elizabeth (b. 1960), Beatrice (b. 1961).
Alda began acting on stage after getting married, making it to Broadway in The Owl and The Pussycat (1964-1965). Although his acting career since then has mostly taken place on television or in the movies, he was most recently on stage in Love Letters (2014).
Gone Are The Days (1963) was Alan Alda's first movie role, but his break-out role was in the movie Paper Lion (1968), earning him a Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year. Baby boomer and senior fans may be surprised to realize that despite his almost 30-year commitments to 3 major long-running television series (M*A*S*H, The West Wing, and Scientific American Frontiers), Alan Alda has also appeared in 31 feature films and many other made-for-television movies during his career. Among his many films was the TV drama The Glass House (1972), co-starring Billy Dee Williams and Clu Gulager.
Alan Alda's episodic television work since the 1960's has included guest-starring on popular baby boomer series Route 66, in an episode with Joseph Campanella. Below, Alan Alda with Lily Tomlin and comedian Richard Pryor in the 1763 CBS TV special Lily.

Alan Alda played a harried father of the bride in 1990's rom-com Betsy's Wedding, starring Molly Ringwald and Dylan Walsh as the happy couple. He was in good acting company with co-stars Madeline Kahn, Ally Sheedy, Joe Pesci, Anthony LaPaglia, and Nicolas Coster.
As a 68-year-old senior citizen, Alda was nominated for an Academy Award Best Actor for his role as Senator Ralph Owen Brewster in The Aviator (2004). In 2015, the septuagenarian Alan Alda could be seen in no less than two big movies - The Longest Ride, co-starring Kyle Eastwood; and Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks.
Alda said in an interview with the L.A. Times in 2015 about his role as widower and septuagenarian senior citizen Ira Levinson in the movie The Longest Ride (starring Clint Eastwood's son Scott Eastwood), was "one of the few parts I have played where...the emotions I feel in real life were as close as I ever felt to the emotions of a character." In The Longest Ride, Ira's prized possession is a box of letters exchanged over many years with his now deceased wife Ruth. Alan Alda said what he liked about the movie was "It is about long-term love...Most movies end when the long-term love is about to begin. Most movies deal with the excitement of new romance, which can be translated into long term, but that takes some doing. I think this is kind of a realistic look at a relationship." The Longest Ride and Alda's performance in it, show us how love endures for long-time couples, even after the death of a spouse. Below, Alan Alda and in a clip from The Longest Ride.
Alda knows what he's talking about - he and wife Arlene Alda are grandparents many times over and have been married for 58 years.
Happy 80th Birthday, Alan Alda!

The rise of Japan Inc.
By Ineke Valke, senior investment strategist at Theodoor Gilissen, a member of KBL European Private Bankers
Japanese equities are booming. Despite a slight downturn over late May and early June, due to concern about a potential US rate hike, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index has posted sustained, substantial gains since the end of 2013.
Indeed, although macroeconomic developments remain subdued, there remain very good reasons to be positive on the country's equity markets – especially the corporate sector's increasing focus on profitability and shareholder value.
Within days of taking office in 2012, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe laid out his strategy for resuscitating the economy through three key actions: fiscal spending, monetary easing and structural reform.
Abe has so far only shot two of the three arrows in his landmark reform plan, known as "Abenomics," although more progress is being achieved on the third arrow – structural reform – than currently meets the eye.
Since 2012, Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has overseen a quantitative easing (QE) programme that is injecting ¥80 trillion (€615 billion) annually into the national economy.
The BoJ now owns a quarter of outstanding bonds, making a purchase about once every three days, which is regularly rallying the stock market. The Central Bank is also buying roughly 90% of the government's new issues, adding 15% of GDP to QE.
Japanese QE is ostensibly aimed at staving off deflation and generating an annual inflation rate of 2%. Despite a strengthening labor market and improved manufacturing output, this remains an area of concern.
In April 2015, the inflation rate remained low – at 0.6% on an annualized basis – on the back of soft oil prices and weak household spending both.
Meanwhile, the massive Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) – with assets of ¥137 trillion (€980 billion), nearly equal to the annual GDP of Mexico – is now pivoting firmly away from bonds in favor of riskier equities.
The aim of this strategy, in place since the fourth quarter of 2014, is to stimulate the overall economy and finance ballooning pension payments. (One-quarter of Japan's population is over 65, making it the world's most rapidly aging nation.)
Actions by Abe and Kuroda have helped bring down exchange rates, supporting significantly increased export levels. Indeed, the yen has fallen 50% against the dollar since the end of 2012, leading to a 2.7% rise in exports in the final quarter of 2014, boosting corporate earnings.
More broadly, the prime minister's reform package aims to liberalize the economy and foster innovation by freeing up the healthcare sector, facilitating greater (local and foreign) entrepreneurship and overhauling corporate governance. In particular, Abe wants to address the core issue facing the country: how to expand the workforce at a time when the population is aging and shrinking.
Abe's third arrow has disappointed investors until now. However, progress is already taking place. Japan's tourism sector, for example, is now extremely strong – with monthly visitor numbers reaching 1.76 million in May 2015 alone, up 43% compared to the same period in 2014.
The energy sector is also picking up, including through the imminent restarting of the country's nuclear power sector some four years after the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, caused by a seismic tsunami. All of Japan's nuclear plants were shut down in the wake of that catastrophic event. Officials have now approved the resumption of operations, starting this summer.

Nostalgia and Representations of Asia in Japan
Last year I wrote an article entitled Losing the Soul of Japan which was posted on the excellent weblog Chanpon. In the article I made some comments on the topic of nostalgia in Japan for an authentic Japanese culture. This has been widely written about (perhaps the most important work on this in English is Marilyn Ivy's Discourses of the Vanishing) but my own motivation in this earlier article was to explore the use of foreigners in campaigns to create a sense of shame amongst Japanese over the loss of their own "pure" selves. I added more thoughts on this topic in another posting here. As a student of Japanese history, I think this phenomena is an especially useful portal through which to approach the far more complex and powerful images of cultural loss, nostalgia, and authenticity which inform the ideologies of nationalism prominent during Japan's imperial age.
I just recently read another article related to this topic which also touches on these issues, "Nostalgia for a (Different) Asian Modernity: Media Consumption of 'Asia' in Japan" by Iwabuchi Koichi (Positions 10:3, Winter, 2002), that makes a number of interesting arguments about Japan's nostalgia in representations of Asia and in particular, media consumption amongst Japanese for Hong Kong products.
At the risk of oversimplifying a complex argument, let me see if I can describe what he is getting at. Iwabuchi begins by discussing existing work on nostalgia, and especially a feeling of mournful loss which is expressed through descriptions of other cultures. This, "Politics of the transnational evocation of nostalgia is highlighted when it is employed to confirm a frozen temporal lag between two cultures, when 'our' past and memory are found in 'their' present." (549) Iwabuchi notes that quite often, what is missing in these portrayals of Asia is any appreciation for the cultural specificity and innovation in these other locations. However, after confirming these trends in Japanese postwar representations of Asia and connecting it to a critique of a (in the words of Renato Rosaldo, who he cites), "a particular kind of nostalgia, often found under imperialism, where people mourn the passing of what they themselves have transformed," (quoted 550, forgive me for not confirming the original) Iwabuchi goes on to explore an interesting twist on this theme in the case of Hong Kong media consumption amongst Japanese fans…

Seabirds are one of the most threatened groups of animals in the world, with many species in decline to due being incidentally killed in fisheries.
They are caught and drowned on baited longline hooks and in nets, and are killed by collisions with trawl cables. It's estimated over 100,000 albatross meet this grisly fate every year.
However this doesn't have to be the case. Simple and inexpensive measures already exist that can be highly effective in preventing seabird deaths, and others are still in experimental stages but have shown great promise.
Some fisheries have already reduced deaths by over 80%, demonstrating the scale of potential success.
The RSPB and BirdLife International have produced a new publication that presents some of the remarkable efforts fisheries have made on a global scale to tackle this problem; from saving turtles in Peru to Black-browed Albatross in Namibia.
These stories demonstrate that collaboration between fishers, scientists and decision makers can lead to practical solutions that will ultimately turn the tide for many of these seabird species.
This booklet is a resource for the fishing industry to inform them of the measures they can take to avoid seabird deaths, and to inspire them to take action to improve the sustainability of global fisheries.
It would not have been possible to create this resource without the generous support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

here's an interesting little exercise that's starting off quite nicely.
being a relative newcomer to our activity and keenly interested in fly casting, i asked Laurent from GOne Fishin9 to describe with words a basic Pick Up and Lay Down cast.
the purpose is to break down each element, have a better understanding of them and how they work when combined.
this is what he came up with. quite impressive.
instead of keeping this more or less between the two of us, what i'd like is to hear what you all have to say about his description.
the PULD is one of the foundations of casting and breaking it down step by step in our minds before putting those steps into application is an enriching experience for anyone at any level.
let's play !
the PULD complex
Marc having unexpectedly turned into Sigmund Freud, he's all about what's happening into the dark corners of my mind, and since he won't take 'wtf??' as an answer I'd better practice my introspection. Current exercise: what did you think about your mother's boobs? if you don't want to think about them, you're just repressing, that's sad but you can always try to describe with full detail what happens in a PULD.
yeah, PULD, or PU&LD. In case you're like myself somewhat unfamiliar with the pro's lingo (and then feel retarded) it's for Pick Up & Lay Down.
so, my unenlightened version would be like: take rod… sling back… tug… sling forward… follow. but that won't do, obviously. I need to get a finer grain.
- initial position: right handed, open. left foot in front, right foot behind. body plane slightly tilted towards the line plane. 10m of line on the ground, straight. no slack. rod in line with the line.
- grip rather loose, wrist slightly bent to have the rod in line with forearm.
- start moving up the rod by flexing the elbow and shoulder. smooth acceleration. the whole movement goes towards a sharp stop with arm horizontal, forearm vertical and wrist straight. the rod is at one o'clock.
- your eyes follow the loop, hence your head has turned back over the shoulder to look at the backcast
- meantime, and just after the stop, try to squeeze and release the grip to absorb bounce (not very clear what to do, but you try to dampen the goddamn thing)
- arm extends a little in direction of backcast while the loop unrolls
- when the line is straight, start front cast. smooth acceleration to a stop. stop should be more or less 1-2 o'clock. things you try not to forget:
- less power
- concentrate on loop: let the loop happen correctly, them the rest will follow (relatively easy to believe at 10m)
- careful with power, not too much, else you tail
- be smooth and sharp but smooth
- try to have the tip moving in a relatively straight path. this one is wishful thinking, because the tip move fast and I have no fucking idea of its trajectory (the tail will tell me)
- think you shoot into a tube to try to get a narrow loop
- all this went well so the loop is nice and not tailing (much) and maybe it has a kind of point to it. (you should film it to really know but lazy)
- just before the line straighten, start lowering the tip. the idea is to follow the line as it falls on the ground.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta have a lot of atttude, but do they have a lot of cash? The post draws upon Pierre Bourdieu's analytical tool of the 'field' in order to investigate successive phases how legal pros located in diverse fields of practice crafted and promoted specific crimes as international. I was in the middle of the class, but my degree was (and is) from a very prestigious school. The law is such a binding rule and draws its constraining or obligatory force from the will of the superior. Second, the details from the alum comes from inside the law school as does mine. Social security law refers to the rights folks have to social insurance coverage, such as jobseekers' allowances or housing rewards. As a further self-assurance-builder, the members of this fantastic triumvirate have been appointed by a larger ABA committee known as the Data Policy & Collections Committee (DPCC). You and I are on the hook for these loans, but never single out the law schools.
Second, this section applies the principle of lex specialis to demonstrate that even if one particular extends the principle of inviolability beyond its accepted understanding, LOAC is the proper legal framework for analyzing harm to UN facilities in the course of armed conflict if there is a conflict in between basic international law on immunities of the UN and LOAC.
Law and Order in Anglo-Saxon England charts the improvement of kings' involvement in law, in terms both of their authority to legislate and their capacity to influence nearby practice, presenting a image of increasingly ambitious and effective royal legal innovation that relied much more on the cooperation of regional communal assemblies than kings' sparse and patchy network of administrative officials.
These folks are not medical doctors who declared bankruptcy right after health-related school and now have enjoyed million-dollar salaries for decades, scott totally free – they are people who worked, tried to make a living, attempted to support other folks, have varying degrees of disability, and however nonetheless have the yoke of student debt affecting their retirement.
Melbourne Law College delivers a range of possibilities for Continuing Professional Development. Only a bit more than half of all ABA law school graduates are obtaining real legal jobs (complete-time, lengthy-term, bar admission required), and this percentage drops to much less than half at numerous schools. Even if you go to law college or another field and a handle not to be completed destroyed, you still will probably lose. That is lost revenue for law schools and such students would probably spend for component-time classes with no incurring student loan debt. Your law research will cover the fundamental principles of Australian law, civil litigation, home, contract and constitutional laws.

BFFs – Adrian Hush, Sarah Banks, Sami Parker Intern Affairs (25.06.2018)
Johnny Castle is grooming his son to become CEO of his company one day. The first lesson is dont just have one assistant, have three, and if possible make sure they are all different ethnicities. Adrian Hush, Sarah Banks and Sami Parker are all standing in the corner, waiting for his command. The second rule seems to be, make sure that the assistants are willing to assist with more than just paperwork. And if they happen to be interns, even better because they are more likely to do as they are told. Mr. Castle fucks the hell out of all three of them, filling their holes atop a filing cabinet. He makes the girls tease his son by flicking their .

Holbrook, New York, February 5, 2015 – The story of World T.E.A.M. Sports' January 1-16, 1998 Vietnam Challenge is not so much the exceptional physical accomplishment of the participating veterans with disabilities, but the emotional connection and cooperation between former combatants who joined together to successfully achieve a common goal.
Chronicled in the award-winning 1998 documentary "Vietnam, Long Time Coming" by Chicago's Kartemquin Films, the Vietnam Challenge brought together 39 veterans from the United States and 14 veterans from Vietnam for a 1,250 mile bicycle and hand cycle ride from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Like all World T.E.A.M. Sports events, the Vietnam Challenge teamed persons with disabilities with able-bodied participants. Together, the riders journeyed across a nation that had experienced decades of war and conflict until 1975. Nearly a quarter century later, World T.E.A.M. Sports' Challenge was the first joint sporting activity between the former warring nations.
"What makes 'Vietnam, Long Time Coming' a strong film is that the distinction between disabled and non-disabled becomes eclipsed by the real story," said David E. Simpson, Kartemquin's accomplished film editor who reviewed nearly 250 hours of footage captured by cinematographers during the 16 day event. "The emotional journey that the participants go through, which unites them as human beings" is the ultimate success of the Challenge.
Created by World T.E.A.M. Sports co-founder Stephen Whisnant, the Vietnam Challenge was inspired by improving diplomatic and business relations between the two nations in the early 1990s. Following the successful completion of the non-profit organization's 1995 AXA World Ride, Whisnant and his colleagues decided the time was right for the Challenge.
Bringing on Kartemquin Films through assistance by Ted Shaker, the founder and producer for Sports Illustrated Television, World T.E.A.M. Sports determined the documentary would be an integral part of the journey. The Asia Society, a valued event partner, hosted an interactive web site for the public and school children across America to learn more about the veterans and their challenges.
With strong corporate support and federal government assistance, World T.E.A.M. Sports coordinated not only the logistics of a long ride in an overseas country, but also worked to create long-lasting benefits. Working with the non-profit Veterans for America, World T.E.A.M. Sports provided significant funding to the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi for an orthotic brace and rehabilitation clinic to serve regional residents. Prior to the arrival of the American veterans in Hanoi for the ride, a team of doctors offered diagnostic and consulting services for Hanoi residents with disabilities. It was a "huge success" as a humanitarian event, said Whisnant.
When the American veterans arrived at Hanoi International Airport in late January 1998, the team from Kartemquin was already in the capital.
"I think for most of us on the crew, this was the first time we had real conversations and interactions with able-bodied and disabled Vietnam veterans," recalled Adam Singer, a film co-producer who handled sound during the journey. "For me personally, the experience gave me a new-found respect for the military and the sacrifices these individuals make and the often conflicted moral, intellectual, patriotic – very human values that allow them to make these sacrifices. The ride also educated me and normalized for me a bit my interactions with people with physical challenges."
"We actually shot for about 20 days in Vietnam," said Gordon Quinn, one of the cinematographers who co-directed the film with Peter Gilbert and Jerry Blumenthal. "Some of us arrived early and left late so we were actually there longer than the 16 days of the ride. I also did a week scout with a camera where I did a little shooting."
Editing the documentary in the months following the return of the American participants from Vietnam, Simpson recalled the complications in telling the story of the ride south from Hanoi. "We were very keen to flesh out some of the more difficult, complex, emotional aspects of the ride: the conflicted feelings, the struggles to reconcile past pain and fear with the current potential for brotherhood between the vets and the Vietnamese civilians. While the healing and dealing with the trauma was clearly part of the intent of World T.E.A.M. Sports in organizing the ride and commissioning the film, these aspects of the project were the most important to us, the filmmakers. We wanted to push the usual boundaries of broadcast television by mixing the celebratory and symbolic aspects of the ride with a high quotient of the messier, harder to live-through and harder-to-watch moments."
Throughout the ride, American and Vietnam veterans met with local residents and groups. For some rural residents, this was an initial opportunity to meet veterans who had clashed so bitterly during the war. At times, emotions were high for veterans from either side. Kartemquin's cameras captured many of these passionate moments, as memories of past colleagues and tragic events overcame veterans.
"The struggle to get around the Vietnamese bureaucracy" was an ongoing challenge for the riders, filmmakers and World T.E.A.M. Sports, remembered Quinn. "Generally we got on well, but there were conflicts about where it would be safe to ride. At times, some of the riders slipped away from the main group to visit where they had been wounded or other meaningful spots."
"There were a number of hurdles to maneuver around. The scale of the project was daunting," said Singer. "Just the logistics of getting from point A to point B was a challenge. The number of people involved in the ride, both the veterans and the support crew, in addition to our film crew."
At scenic Hai Van Pass, a rugged mountain pass on National Route 1A, Vietnam officials first declared the veterans would be not permitted to ride the challenging, switchbacking highway. After prolonged negotiations, they allowed the riders to climb the steep pass in high temperatures and humidity that greatly slowed the hand cyclists.
Crossing the Ben Hai River and passing south of the 17th Parallel, the former Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone, American veterans became more emotional as they recalled personal experiences during their service. At My Khe Beach at Da Nang, popularly known as China Beach, riders scooped up bottles of sand. Further south, officials redirected the ride to the national Son My Memorial, a six acre park that is dedicated to the victims of the 1968 My Lai Massacre. Many American veterans chose not to attend a ceremony at the memorial, stating they are living for the future, not the past.
Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, the riders were joined by Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, honorary chair of the Vietnam Challenge, and American Ambassador Pete Peterson. Warmly embracing their colleagues of the past 16 days, the riders celebrated their accomplishment.
For the Kartemquin Films team, however, their project was only beginning. "The challenge we had as filmmakers was trying to make a film that was more than a simple sponsored profile of the World T.E.A.M. Sports organization and a particular ride," said Singer. "We wanted the film to touch on some of the core complex emotional and political issues and wounds that sat below the surface of the 'ride'."
Working with Sharon Karp and Jan Suttcliffe, along with assistant editor Leslie Simmer, Simpson coordinated his editing of the documentary with World T.E.A.M. Sports' Whisnant and co-founder James Benson, who served as executive producers. Whisnant recalls "endless hours in Chicago" during the editing of the film, but notes they respected the artistic direction of the film team.
Picked up by Seventh Art Releasing, "Vietnam, Long Time Coming" debuted in multiple film festivals in late 2008 and was well-received by veterans groups and the public. Following a brief theatrical release, the film was broadcast nationally by NBC television on December 26, 2008, with sportscaster Dick Enberg hosting. The network repeated the broadcast in April. Later, video and DVD versions of the film were released, and Snag Films currently offers the documentary online.
The documentary provided Kartemquin Films artistic recognition and several awards from festivals. The Directors Guild of America presented co-directors Peter Gilbert, Gordon Quinn, and Jerry Blumenthal with the award for Best Documentary in 2008. An Emmy from the National Society of Television Arts and Sciences for Outstanding Program Achievement provided more respect. For World T.E.A.M. Sports, the film offered national attention for a growing non-profit organization that was chartered only five years earlier. It soon would host the first Face of America ride as a cross-country journey, a legacy that continues to this day with the Washington to Gettysburg ride and the Sea to Shining Sea cross-country rides with injured veterans.
Yet, the primary success of the film and the Vietnam Challenge itself was the experience of the participating veterans. Many of these veterans went on to create positive lives for themselves and for others, offering inspiration to veterans, persons with disabilities and the public to overcome obstacles and emotional challenges. Some of the veterans participated in later World T.E.A.M. Sports events, such as the Face of America and the Adventure Team Challenge Colorado. Others created new non-profit organizations to connect with and assist veterans and persons with disabilities. The Vietnam Challenge was the catalyst.
In November 2014, Blumenthal lost an eight-year battle against cancer. His passing "brought memories of that particular moment in time and that film rushing back to the surface" for team members at Kartemquin, said Singer. "Jerry had a particularly strong bond with the vets," he recalled. Reaching out to several of the veterans who participated in the Vietnam Challenge, Singer also contacted World T.E.A.M. Sports to reconnect and share memories.
"Getting to experience Vietnam in such a unique intimate way was especially rewarding," said Singer. "I feel really lucky to have been part of this journey and project."

Throughout the whole year, Barcelona absorbs an abundant flow of tourists, and during the summer season the coast of the Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada, which are closest to the city, are full of inveterate beach-dwellers. If you feel tired of watching the crowds, to change the view is a piece of cake. Visit Tortosa, Montserrat, Berga, or choose any other town where a traditional celebration is expected – Catalans are really good at arranging them. If you have already seen the castells – human towers, there are plenty of other choices, such as festivals of strawberries, flowers, snails, and sardines. Or masquerades and processions, dedicated to one of the Saints – Anthony, Peter or John.
Take your eyes off the sea and have a look on the opposite side: a vast green land called Terres de l'Ebre is located nearby. Wineries with wine tastings in cool cellars, a mysterious half-light of gothic cathedrals, an incredibly tasty paella served at the restaurant in the Ebro Delta Reserve (the rice for it was grown in that very field which can be seen from the window), the taste of oil made from olives grown on a thousand-year-old tree: everything goes into a treasure chest of impressions. In the mountains, the river slowly rolls its waters, everything here is sinking in green, saturated with smells of pine needles, rosemary and other Mediterranean herbs.
The Ebro Delta. Rice and Birds
Marshy territory, overgrown with reed, with the maximum of food, a minimum of predators and no urbanism is a perfect place for birds. Visit this place to see a unique ecosystem – a place where a deep river meets the Mediterranean Sea, creating dunes, coves, salt marshes and shallow lagoons along the way. Most of the tourists come here for birdwatching, which is a very popular activity in Europe, while the rest enjoy exploring the vast open spaces of the reserve, fishing, breathing fresh air and taking photos of rice fields. Several varieties of rice are cultivated in the delta, including bomba rice, which is considered best for paella. A local specialty store, where you can choose and buy the right sort, is situated right next to the information center of the reserve.
Ulldecona. Centuries and Millennia
Already in the Stone Age, people lived and performed some creative activities here. This is evidenced by the largest collection of rock paintings in Catalonia, which made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List. And in the vicinity of Ulldecona, the most impressive concentration of thousand-year-old olive trees in the entire Mediterranean can be seen, there are over 1,500 of them. The oldest ones are more than 1,500 years old, and can be seen at the Museo Natural de Olivos Milenarios del Arión in the open air. There's also a 13th-century Templar Castle of Miravet nearby, but it is too young by local standards.
Tortosa. Moors and Christians
In the 2nd century B.C., the population of Dertosa (old name of Tortosa) was as numerous as that Barcino (Barcelona). Today, although the city is not so popular as the capital of Catalonia, the Castle of La Suda, the Gothic cathedral and the medieval city center where Renaissance Festival is celebrated in July, commemorating the heyday of Tortosa after the Reconquista in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance era, are definitely worth visiting. The city is overcome with a total historical reconstruction: banner bearers juggle flags, falconers exhibit birds of prey, children ride merry-go-rounds. On the square you can see Moors fighting with Christians, while in the alley a folkloric scene is played, and in the castle you can try your hand at shooting a cannon.
L'Ametlla de Mar. On Land and at Sea
This coastal town did not bend down to the pressure of mass tourism. The main income source here is fish. The caught fish, just like a hundred years ago, is traded in the morning from boats or is sold in the port at auction. From here you can go on a Tuna Tour and swim with the tuna. Spain has a quota for catching this fish: shoals of young tuna are brought to the local shores for fattening (up to 300 kg), and then exported to Japan and the US. After the tour, which lasts about three hours, it's worth visiting the restaurant El Molí dels Avis, where they serve unbelievably delicious fish.
Berga. Fire and Water
It will take an hour by car to get to this small town from Barcelona. This place goes crazy twice a year. Its main holiday, La Patum, is already on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Theoretically, the main reason for the fest is Christian – the May holiday of the Body and Blood of Christ – but in practice, it looks rather pagan and full of ancient folklore. Processions of drummers, dwarfs and giants end with fires and pyrotechnics, when the narrow streets and the main square get filled with bristling firecrackers, devils and hydras. In contrast, the July holiday of St. Eloi, the patron saint of blacksmiths, cools the ardor. On the way to the ultimate target – the cathedral square, where everyone is welcome to taste hot chocolate – participants are bound to get wet: water is poured from balconies and doors, and even in churches they attach hoses to fire hydrants.
La Pobla de Lillet. Concrete and Gardens
All the structures at the Artigas Gardens designed by Antoni Gaudí were made from concrete, which was held highly at the beginning of the 20th century (especially since Eusebi Güell, the permanent sponsor of the Barcelona genius, opened its production nearby). An hour's walk along the shady paths is the best rest on a hot day: past the waterfall to the sources of the Taurus (the symbol of Luke the Evangelist) and the Lion (Mark), through the arched bridge of the Eagle (John) to the pavilion on the rock, from where opens an absolutely breathtaking view. If you are not a particular admirer of the brilliant architect and not a collector of gardens, then maybe this place is not worth a separate visit. Still, after a holiday in Berga, the soul will seek tranquility.

Hidden Energy by Jeane Manning & Susan Manewich
One of the most, if not the most, highly-anticipated books in the alternative energy scene is Hidden Energy, Telsa-inspired Inventors and a Mindful Path to Energy Abundance by Jeane Manning and Susan Manewich.
Hidden Energy readies you for humankinds next leap-tapping into an abundance of truly clean power, the ultimate renewable. Making the leap is more about mindsets and a consciousness shift than technology.
Inspired by seeing their connection to nature and the cosmos, scientists and inventors are making breakthroughs. Help decide who benefits-amoral corporations or your family, communities and the environment .
Get your copy here: Hidden Energy
Hidden Energy is not only beautifully done, it is very well-written as expected and very easy to read so it is for everyone no technical experience is required!
Although it educates the reader on quite a few sustainable energy technologies, many which are potentially disruptive and rightfully so, it has a strong emphasis on the human-interest element and is logically divided into five parts. These five sections walk you through the thought processes and paradigms to the technologies themselves and concludes with a section on getting these technologies out to the world.
I just received my copy from Amazon and am glad that I choose the Hardback edition because I plan to pass this around to everyone that comes over and its going to be a lot more rugged. You can also get the paperback version on Amazon if you choose.
Its also worth mentioning that quite a few of the inventors and developers who have presented at the conference, contributed in the forums or who have worked with many well-known names are mentioned in the book. These include John Bedini, Peter Lindemann, Paul Babcock, Jim Murray, Graham Gunderson, Dr. Gerald Pollack and many others including myself, which is a great honor!
Get your copy here: Hidden Energy
Christmas is just around the corner and this book will be a very beautiful, thoughtful, important and timely gift for every Tesla, Free Energy or other alternative science enthusiast that you know including yourself!
