About Online Mega Millions Latest Online Results
Firstly, MegaMillions began as The Big Game in 1996. It was later renamed, temporarily, to The Big Game MegaMillions six years later. The lottery is an American multi-jurisdictional lottery game. Mega Millions is offered in 44 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The first (The Big Game) MegaMillions drawing was in 2002. (What is now Mega Millions initially was offered in six states. The logo for all versions of the game following the retiring of The Big Game name featured a gold-colored ball with six stars to represent the game's initial membership.)
When does the draw take place
Secondly, Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday and Friday evenings, including holidays. Mega Millions Latest Online Results is administered by a consortium of its 12 original lotteries. The drawings are held at the studios of WSB-TVin Atlanta, Georgia, supervised by the Georgia Lottery. Online Mega Millions results can be obtained from TopOnlineLottoSites.com
Minimum Jackpot
Thirdly, the minimum Mega Millions advertised jackpot is $40 million under the current version's regulations. This began in October 28, 2017 with the first drawing October 31 for Mega Millions. This is paid in 30 graduated yearly installments, increasing 5 percent each year (unless the cash option is chosen). The jackpot increases when there is no top-prize winner.
Lastly, get all the latest Mega Millions Results with TopOnlineLottoSites.
Special Games
Reflecting common practice among American lotteries, the jackpot is advertised as a nominal value of annual installments. A cash value option, when chosen by a jackpot winner, pays the approximate present value of the installments. Mega Millions' previous format began on October 19, 2013; its first drawing was three days later. The current version of Mega Millions requires players to match 5 of 70 white balls, and the gold-colored "MegaBall" from a second field, of 25 numbers.
Cost of each game
Furthermore, each game costs $2. Of the 46 Mega Millions jurisdictions, all but California offer an option, called Megaplier. The non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by 2, 3, 4, or 5. The Megaplier was made available to all Mega Millions jurisdictions in January 2011 but it began as an option available only in Texas. Several of the game's members offer the Just the Jackpot option, in which two plays cost $3. Only the jackpot can be won; none of the lower-tier prizes are available on such a wager.
Largest Jackpot
Lastly, in October 23, 2018 the largest jackpot (in which the jackpot was won) in Mega Millions history was $1.537 billion. There was one winning jackpot ticket, sold in South Carolina.

Free Boat Rides for Florida Baptist Children's Home | Community Spirit
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- On Wednesday, August 15th, the Jacksonville branch of the Freedom Boat Club is pairing up with 121 Financial Credit Union and taking 40 children from the Florida Baptist Children's Homes (FBCH) for a day of adventure on the river. The students will be treated to a variety of activities including exploring local waterways, searching for manatees and wildlife, recreation in a park, and enjoying a picnic lunch on the water.
"I am so excited to have the ability to provide the boating experience for those who otherwise might not have the chance" said Lisa Almeida, who manages the Jacksonville affiliate of the Freedom Boat Club. Almeida adds, " It's great to have organizations like FBCH and 121 to team up with so that together we can provide a 3-way support system for charities".
Florida Baptist Children's Homes is a faith-based, nonprofit organization that provides safe, stable, Christian homes for boys and girls who have been neglected, misdirected, abandoned, abused, or caught up in family turmoil. The organization's mission is to provide Christ-centered services to children and families in need.
On the 15TH, the children as well as 5 staff members from Florida Baptist will be taken out on a small fleet of boats from the Freedom Boat Club docks at Julington Creek and head for Green Cove Springs and the mouth of Black Creek, where they will search for manatee. From there, they will travel to Green Cove Springs Park and have a picnic lunch before heading to Durbin Creek.
The Freedom Boat Club, founded in 1989, serves as an alternative to boat ownership. After calling ahead, members simply arrive at the dock where a boat is fueled up and ready to go. At the end of the day, members bring the boat back to the dock, unload personal gear, and hop in their car and go. Freedom has 60 franchises throughout the United States.
"We want members to experience the joys of boating without any of the hassle," Almeida said. "And, we want to spread that joy to the community who has been so good to us."
If you know of a charitable group or non-profit organization in the Jacksonville area that deserves a day of fun in the sun out on the water, contact the Freedom Boat Club at 888-781-7363.

woo-woo whispers
Since making the decision to move, I've experienced a string of events that, by themselves, seem innocuous. But added together, many would call "signs from the universe".
It started when a suitcase, which had comfortably hung on a hook at the back of my closet for several months, suddenly dropped from its anchor to the floor. Then the curtain rod fell down and refused to go back up, leaving my bedroom bare to the world. I lifted one book from a shelf and all 36 came with it. I reached for one envelope from my stationery unit, and dozens of labels, cards, and CD packs followed.
I fell up the steps on Wednesday. Down them on Friday. And on Sunday, my front door key snapped in the lock leaving me wondering who I could call for help at 1:30 a.m.
While I could have ignored the whispers, the final event roared loudly when the swipe card to my apartment's community security gate suddenly stopped working. It happens. So I went down to the office for a new pass code, and surprise! It doesn't open the entry gate at all … but the exit gate flies wide open. Hasta luego Bibi!

Well, I think those are clear enough signs that it's time to move! Pay attention. LOL, I didn't, some years back, and ended up with my apartment flooded and having to move without planning to. It wasn't fun. :)

Within an hour of getting the order for this piece, I couldn't think of anything else but starting it. To say I was inspired is an understatement.
It was another client giving me carte blanche, the two words that every artist wants to hear when receiving an order.
Carte blanche allows someone to get completely lost in a project, to start with dimensions and some reclaimed wood and let the hours slip away under the summer sun to stand back at the end of the day, look at the piece, and think, "How on earth did that morph into THIS?"
Adding a black accent to a rustic wooden piece tends to make the wood you want featured "pop" and stand out.
For the four bar stools, I knew I was going to use 3″ blonde slabs that have been seasoning in my shop for the past year. Those were sanded down after being added to bases that were finished in black.
After a few more runs with the sander and coats of poly, the stools were done.
The bar was a beast. (Shocker.) I built it in three pieces that attached easily so it would be able to fit in the truck and be easily moved into the clients' home by two people.
Pallet wood, barn wood, and a split rail fence piece make up the entire bar. There are nooks and crannies for all sorts of bar ware, from a bottle opener…
to hidden wine glass racks (under the bottle shelf for an incredible whiskey collection)…
to plenty of bar top space…
to a mixing shelf framed with a barrel stave.
I think Jim likes it. Mission accomplished.
The Bar: can be custom built for any space you have indoors or outdoors. Please contact me with your idea for a quote!
Wood slab barstools are also available for purchase.

About OM
OM or AUM is the symbol of essence of Hinduism. It means oneness with the Supreme, the merging of the physical being with the spiritual. The most sacred syllable, the first sound of the Almighty - the sound from which emerges each and every other sound, whether of music or of language.
In the Upanishads this sacred syllable appears as a mystic sound, regarded by scriptures as the very basis of every other sacred mantra (hymn). It is the sound not only of origination but also of dissolution. The past, present and future are all included in this one sound and even all that transcends this configuration of time is also implied in OM.
According to TAITREYA Upanishad the origin of language is assigned to PRAJAPATI, from whose meditation on the three words arose the three Vedas and from his meditation arose the three syllables, BHOOR, BHUVA and SUAH, which represent earth, atmosphere and sky. From his meditation on these three originated the divine syllable of OM, which coordinated all speech and represented the totality of the world. The syllable OM also represents the TRIMURTI (triad) of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Shiva's drum produced this sound and through it came the notes of the octave, (i.e.) SA, RI, GA, MA, PA, DHA, NI. Thus by this sound Shiva creates and recreates the universe. OM is also the sound form of Atman.
The Upanishads state that everything, existent and non- existent, can be grasped by uttering the sacred syllable of OM. The psychotherapeutic efficacy of OM is deemed limitless and its utterance redeems all errors in the performance of a sacrifice. Meditation on OM satisfies every need and ultimately leads to liberation. Nearly all the prayers and recitals of sacred passages are prefixed by the utterance of OM. Its equivalent is OMKAR, venerated in the same manner and is thought to be the representation of God Himself.
Musically, it is also held that the term OM or AUM is made up by three base notes ' A ' 'U' 'M' or the basic 'SA' 'PA' of the fundamental scale and again Sa (the base note) of the immediately higher scale. When one pronounces these notes in continuity, all the basic notes from Sa to Ni also sound. Similarly when one pronounces AUM correctly, all the basic sounds also echo. It is believed to be the traditional way of clearing all the impediments in the vocal chord to make one chant the hymns correctly. Their unison makes one not only sound sonorous but also acts as the necessary preparation to chant a Mantra (Incantation) correctly. It is for this reason that all the Vedic Mantras has 'OM' or' AUM' as the first term.

I definitely will print out this article and shove it the GAIshnik under his nose when he stops us and comes checking... Chrismas and New Year are coming soon and I am not inclined to contribute to their -Christmas fund-.
for this year the announcement comes of course too late. most of the cars I have seen around have the spanking new signs stuck on already... So, whoever made them, is for the last time laughing all the way to the bank.
don't forget they are still checking if you have that yellow -emergency- gilet with you. and the fire extinguisher. and the red emergency triangle. obvious all the documents must be in order as well.

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
By Damien Garvey, Technical Account Manager at Backup-Technology
Backup-Technology Online Data Backup Expert Tips: Data Protection – How much do you Value your Data?
Within recent weeks, there have been two data loss incidents which have been widely reported, from a large national oil company who have suffered from a cyber-attack to an individual who lost everything as hackers managed to gain access to his iCloud account. It is now imperative that if you value your data, you will do your all to ensure that it is appropriately protected.
The world's largest oil firm, Saudi Armco, was successfully targeted by hacking group The Cutting Sword of Justice. They used a computer virus, known as Shamoon to cause the damage which resulted in 30,000 workstations being affected.
All the affected workstations have now been fully restored and have been added back onto the internal network. It did take a bit longer for the website to be brought back online and for their email service to be in full working order, the impact of this data loss has been significantly reduced due to the data protection measures that were in place.
This attack demonstrates the importance of adequately protecting your data, be it business data which if lost, could have a detrimental impact on your company or personal data such as family photographs which are priceless. Keeping one copy of your data is becoming more unsecure as each day passes and can cost thousands of pounds to recover your data if it hasn't been properly backed up.
This is shown when stories about Matt Honan's data loss experience were published when he had his iCloud account hacked. This resulted with hackers wiping his iPad, iPhone and MacBook. Hanon had to pay for the services of a data recovery specialist who managed to recover around 75% of the deleted contents but this came at a cost.
Honan stated, "The bottom line is that I have all my photos and all the home movies I've shot. Every one of them. And seemingly all of my most important documents as well. That felt like a miracle. The bill for all this? $1,690. Data doesn't come cheap."
At the end of the day, it comes down to how much you value your data. There are several ways to backup your data from USB hard drives and tape to independent cloud backup services. Due to the vast range of products that are available, there is a solution out there which will protect your data and save you time and money in the event of a disaster.
Do you value your data? Do you protect your data?

|P is for Practical
Re: looking Generic File Parser script?by tachyon (Chancellor)
|on Nov 25, 2004 at 23:44 UTC ( #410485=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
As noted you want a recursive descent parser like Parse::RecDescent. A parser needs a grammar. Fortunately the Inline:: modules all use PRD to parse the language code so you have a good start on a C grammar in Inline::C::ParseRecDescent and a C++ grammar in Inline::CPP::Grammar
You do not want to generate a HASH as this is unordered, whereas code is definitively ordered. You want what PRD gives you which is an array of array refs to whatever depth. You may find the thread Parse:RecDescent grammar help useful.

Researchers at MIT are patterning complex three-dimensional structures using self-assembling block co-polymers that form tiny wires and junctions automatically. MIT claims its technique will enable a new generation of microchips with tiny nanoscale features not achievable with traditional methods: R. Colin Johnson
Here is what MIT says about their block co-polymer self-assembly method: Researchers at MIT have found a new way of making complex three-dimensional structures using self-assembling polymer materials that form tiny wires and junctions. The work has the potential to usher in a new generation of microchips and other devices made up of submicroscopic features.
Although similar self-assembling structures with very fine wires have been produced before, this is the first time the structures have been extended into three dimensions with different, independent configurations on different layers, the researchers say. The research is published this week in the journal Science.
Caroline Ross, the Toyota Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, says there has been "a lot of interest" among semiconductor researchers in finding ways to produce chip features that are much narrower than the wavelength of light — and hence narrower than what can be achieved using present light-based fabrication systems. She and her colleagues began by creating an array of tiny posts on a substrate of silicon; they then coated the surface with materials called block copolymers, which have a natural tendency to assemble into long cylindrical structures. By carefully controlling the initial spacing of the posts, Ross explains, the researchers were able to set the spacing, angles, bends and junctions of the cylinders that form on the surface. What's more, she says, "Each of the two layers of cylinders can be independently controlled using these posts," making it possible to create complex 3-D configurations.
Amir Tavakkoli, a visiting graduate student from the National University of Singapore and lead author of the Science paper, says many researchers have tried to produce complex arrangements of nanoscale wires through self-assembly. But earlier attempts used complex processes with many steps, and had failed to control the resulting configurations well. The new system is simpler, according to MIT graduate student Kevin Gotrik.
Graduate student Adam Hannon says the team used computer simulations of the structures in order to explore the effects of different post configurations on the double-layer 3-D structure. These simulations were compared with the most promising structures observed in the laboratory to get greater insight into how to control the resulting structures that formed.
So far, the MIT team has only produced two-layer configurations, but Alfredo Alexander-Katz, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering, says, "I think it would be feasible to go to three layers" while still maintaining full control over the arrangement of structures on each layer.
A key enabling technology was the MIT lab's capability, using electron-beam lithography, to make 10-nanometer-wide cylindrical posts with precisely controlled positioning. These posts, in turn, guide the positioning of the self-assembling cylinders. Karl Berggren, an associate professor of electrical engineering, says it's as if the lithography puts down an array of pillars, and these pillars then control the complex, multilevel routing of crisscrossing highways.
In earlier work, the MIT researchers had demonstrated that this self-assembly method could be used to create wires that are much finer than those that can be made by existing photolithography techniques for producing microchips — and thus help lead the way to next-generation devices that pack even more wires and transistors into a given area of silicon chip material. "In principle, this is scalable to quite small dimensions," Ross says, far smaller than the 15-nanometer width of the cylinders produced so far — which is already less than half the width of the finest wires in existing microchips.
The basic technologies involved are compatible with existing manufacturing equipment in the semiconductor industry, the researchers say. But this is basic research that is probably still far from actual chip production, they caution. Within the next year the team hopes to use this methodology to produce a simple electronic device.
The technique is not limited to producing wires on a silicon chip, Ross and her colleagues say. The same method could be used to create 3-D arrays of other kinds of materials — such as proteins or DNA molecules, for example — in order to create biological detectors or drug-delivery systems.
The work was supported by the Semiconductor Research Corporation, the FENA Center, the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative, the Singapore-MIT Alliance, the National Science Foundation, Tokyo Electron and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

[JURIST] The Israeli Supreme Court [official website, in Hebrew] on Monday rejected an appeal by Omri Sharon [JURIST news archive] to reduce his seven-month prison sentence, saying that it found no reason to lighten Sharon's sentence after a lower court reduced his sentence [JURIST report] from nine months for good behavior. Sharon, who will begin serving his sentence on February 27, was convicted in February 2006 of illegally raising money [JURIST report] for his father's re-election campaign.
Sharon, son of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, has renounced his parliamentary immunity and has given up his seat in the Knesset [official website].

Sixty-two thousand properties have faced foreclosure in Detroit this year over unpaid taxes. The bank, if it accepts the short sale, will require the investor to close soon on the house (usually 30 days after short sale acceptance) and that it be purchased all cash. Very often, a foreclosed home can be priced attractively below the other homes in the surrounding area, but when word gets out, numerous offers can come in rapidly and a bidding war ensues.
In its investigation, The Times found that Harbour had bought around 7,000 single-family homes in bulk sales from Fannie, the large government-controlled mortgage finance firm. Buyers of real estate are most interested in purchasing foreclosed properties for sale but they should keep some points in mind before initiating the purchase process as it involves huge money. After finding a foreclosed home, you will have to inspect the home thoroughly as some houses might not be in great condition.
Buyers of foreclosed homes should also remember that these houses do not necessarily mean that it is empty already. Bank foreclosed properties are considered as non performing assets", so banks normally prefer to sell the properties quickly at lower-than-market prices, and recoup the remainder of the mortgage, instead of waiting for a fair market value. Real estate transactions often include hard deadlines that must be met in order for the sale to go through – no exceptions. You can also learn how to buy Atlanta foreclosed properties the same way that you would purchase any other property on the market.
So if you do locate and execute the transactions that you need for the documents of the foreclosed property, you have to keep it on standby. The secret to being successful in this business is to understand what's going on in your local real estate market and to be aware of when forclosed homes will be auctioned and sold. This means that apart from bank foreclosed homes for sale, banks can attach further property to cover the owner's debt. Stop Past Due Mortgage Payments Public Notices delinque taxes deed liens,bank foreclosure homes short sales.
Whenever you buy foreclosed homes, you're investing in homes of people who no longer could afford it. There must be a reason why this house eventually became expensive so the first thing you have to figure out is whether you can afford this house in the long run. This is so because you can get to know all about the houses that have been recently foreclosed at the instant it is updated. Part of what has caused the buyer's market is the increased number of bank owned homes in comparison to non-foreclosed homes.

130 Submission 174 To Cabinet By Mcewen
Trade Negotiations with Japan
1. Following recent exploratory trade talks between Australian and
Japanese officials in Canberra, in accordance with Cabinet's
earlier approval, the way has now been cleared for trade
negotiations with Japan looking toward a trade agreement. Our
objective in such negotiations would be to protect our export
interests by obtaining contractual benefits in Japan. In return,
we would undertake commitments with the practical effect of
reducing the extent to which we discriminate against imports from
Australia might seek benefits of the following kinds:
(i) in general, fair opportunity for Australian products to enter
(ii) assurances on minimum import quotas or exchange allocations
for major Australian products such as wool, wheat, barley and
(iii)appropriate tariff commitments;
(iv) opportunity for prior consultation on proposed receivals by
Japan of surplus primary commodities from the United States (e.g.
grains, dairy products).
Progress since November 1954
2. In November, 1954, Cabinet decided that informal trade talks
would be held between Australian officials and members of the
Japanese Embassy. Shortly afterwards the Japanese became pre-
occupied with the question of their admission into G.A.T.T. and
talks did not begin until late in 1955. They ended in February,
3. The talks were informal and purely exploratory and related
mainly to the background to trade between Australia and Japan, the
trade and tariff policies and practices of the two countries and
mutual trade problems. The Japanese wished to raise the question
of application of G.A.T.T. between Australia and Japan and also
expressed a desire for a comprehensive treaty of friendship,
commerce and navigation. However, these matters were considered to
be outside the scope of the informal trade talks. The Japanese
have been pressing in recent weeks for the commencement of trade
Importance of the Japanese Market to Australia
4. Japan vies with France as our second most important market, and
takes a greater range of major products than France, which takes
almost solely wool and sheepskins. There is scope for Japan to
expand as a natural market for major Australian products,
particularly for wool and grains. Our exports to Japan are now
running at an annual rate of 80m. compared with imports from
Japan of 25m. In the eight months ended February, 1956, Japan
took 17% of our wool exports, 23% of our wheat, 57% of our barley,
and 12.5% of the sugar exported from Australia. Attachment A shows
Australian exports to Japan in selected years.
5. Wool is licensed for importation into Japan on the basis of the
needs of the woollen mills. Goods essential for Japan's export
trade are subject to open licensing. Wool is not treated in that
way. Japan's woollen textile exports are small, most of the raw
wool imported being for home consumption. Raw wool imports are,
however, one of the big debit items in Japan's trading accounts.
There is some pressure on these grounds for Japan to make herself
less dependent on imports of wool by encouraging the production of
synthetics and to direct her purchases of wool to countries that
are prepared to provide markets for Japanese goods. Discrimination
by Australia against imports from Japan gives Japan further
grounds to cut imports of wool in general and to divert her
purchases away from Australia, or perhaps both.
6. Australian exports of wool to Japan have recently progressed
favourably. The Japanese industry prefers Australian wool and
Japan has had the sterling. The Japanese Government, however, in
making their approaches for a trade agreement, have been concerned
that Australian discrimination against imports from Japan
militates against their earning from exports to Australia, the
finance necessary for their imports. Of course, if Japan limits
her participation in the Australian wool auctions this does not
necessarily mean we export so much less wool, but auction prices
reflect the presence and degree of buying interest of major buying
countries. In the auctions Japan is usually a strong competitor
with Bradford, and this helps our bread and butter lines in the
wool clip. Japanese buying has been a major factor in the
hardening of wool prices in recent months.
7. Because her sterling situation has been favourable in recent
months, Japan has been able to purchase grains in Australia. But
we have no monopoly or near-monopoly of grain. U.S. surplus
disposals are a constant threat to our trade and potential trade
with Japan in wheat and barley. Under aid agreements signed with
the U.S.A. in 1955, Japan is to receive some 800,000 tons of wheat
and 170,000 tons of barley from U.S. surplus stocks. Argentina
competes against us in the grain trade with Japan. Our grain
exports to Japan could also be affected if the Japanese Government
were to encourage rice consumption, and engage in trade deals with
Asian rice-producing countries for larger rice imports. As it is,
Australia could have supplied much of the wheat and barley
obtained from U.S.A. and Argentina if commercial considerations
only had been involved.
8. Again, in the management of her foreign exchange, Japan has
bought Cuban sugar for sterling payment. She bought sugar from
Australia for the first time in 1955, but the scope is there for
regular trade if we can compete against Cuba and other suppliers
and have the opportunity of competing against them.
9. In her import licensing or exchange control, Japan has not
taken any action against Australian goods which could be
interpreted as retaliation for our discrimination against imports
from Japan. However, in the case of wheat the purchase policy of
the state trading organisation has not been favourable. To the
extent that Japan favours, say, Argentine grains on currency or
other grounds, there is a measure of discrimination against us,
but on the whole Japanese treatment of Australian exports has been
relatively favourable. This is explainable in terms of Japan's
present high holdings of sterling, but also it seems to have been
influenced in part by the desire of the Japanese to reach an
understanding with us on trade questions. In large measure the
recent exploratory talks have been used to bring home to the
Japanese the degree to which we are concerned at the covert
discrimination that can be practised by state trading
organisations and to influence official Japanese opinion against
such discrimination if they wish to make much progress in trade
10. Only by giving Japan assurances that will allow her
opportunities for improving her export trade with Australia, can
we obtain assurances that Japan will treat our wool, grains, sugar
and other products favourably. Japan's system of import controls
and her pattern of imports give considerable scope for
discrimination. Because of this, and because of the particular
products involved, Japan could reduce substantially her purchases
from Australia, if she had to do so or if she chose to do so. It
is important, therefore, that we reach an understanding with Japan
to protect our export interests in the Japanese market whether in
respect of actions by the Japanese Government (tariff, import
controls) or in respect of actions by other Governments (surplus
disposals, etc.)
Concessions we might seek from Japan
11. While there would be mutual recognition that the balance of
payments situation might on occasions make some discrimination in
import controls unavoidable, we would seek commitments by Japan
not to discriminate in exchange allocations or import licensing
against Australian wool, wheat, barley, sugar, hides and skins,
frozen and canned meat and a number of other commodities. We would
also seek assurances as to the quantities of Australian wool,
wheat, barley and sugar to be permitted importation into Japan, or
the conditions on which these products are to be imported. We
could also explore ways of ensuring that Japanese trade or even
general economic policies would not be disadvantageous to our
exports of these commodities, particularly wool. Some opportunity
might also be sought for prior consultation where United States
aid programs or disposal transactions involve commodities supplied
by Australia.
12. Our main exports to Japan are few in number and being
foodstuffs and raw materials for the most part, enter Japan duty
free or at relatively low rates of duty. On the other hand, the
range of Japanese exports to Australia is fairly wide and being
mainly secondary products enter Australia at relatively high
duties under the General Tariff. Our interest in securing a
guarantee of continued most-favoured-nation tariff treatment from
Japan is therefore less than her interest in obtaining most-
favoured-nation treatment from us. It would however, be desirable
to obtain from Japan a guarantee of most-favoured-nation tariff
treatment especially to protect our wool and grain exports from
possible discriminatory duties. The Japanese tariff provides for
duties of 20% on wheat and 10% on barley, but these duties are
usually suspended. The greater benefit to Japan of obtaining most-
favoured-nation tariff treatment from us could be balanced in
negotiations by the benefits to us of undertakings-additional to
most-favoured-nation tariff treatment-of the sort described above.
Commitments we might accept towards Japan
13. The concessions we might seek from Japan cannot be considered
apart from the reciprocal concessions Japan might seek from
Australia. Here two points are relevant.
Firstly, Japan is the only significant trading country to which
Australia applies the General Tariff (the highest column of duties
in the Tariff), and Japan is the only country against which
Australia discriminates in import licensing for other than balance
of payments reasons.
Secondly, because of the importance of textiles in Japanese export
trade, any agreement which did not accord at least qualified most-
favoured-nation tariff treatment to Japanese cotton and rayon
piecegoods and reasonable import licensing treatment for those
goods would have little appeal to the Japanese.
14. In effect, the Japanese will seek the same treatment for their
exports to Australia as we extend to almost all countries-in the
tariff, most-favoured-nation treatment; and in import licensing,
non-discriminatory treatment unless on balance of payments
15. It has been noted that textiles are the main item involved in
any trade negotiations with Japan, but various other consumer
goods such as crockery and toys would also be likely to raise
problems of protection for Australian industries and perhaps for
export industries in the United Kingdom or other major supplying
countries, unless there are effective safeguards against a
disruptive volume of imports from Japan. (Attachment B shows the
main imports from Japan). Japan, of course, is not the only
supplier of low-cost goods. Indian cotton piecegoods are in
general cheaper than Japanese, and it may before long be necessary
to develop safeguards against competition from low cost countries
in any case, even if Japan is not now to be accorded m.f.n.
16. The Japanese Government undoubtedly attaches weight to Japan's
international trade standing, and a successful agreement with
Australia would facilitate their rehabilitation as a trading
nation. For these reasons, as well as because of the trade with
Australia that would be at stake, the Japanese may be prepared
eventually to accept an agreement which, while according them
m.f.n. tariff treatment and nondiscrimination in import licensing,
retains to Australia full freedom to control imports from Japan by
either tariff or import licensing action if an undue volume of
imports from Japan threatens serious damage to Australian industry
or to the trade with Australia of established suppliers such as
17. It is not impossible that the Japanese authorities would co-
operate in supervising the price or volume of Japanese exports to
Australia. Their supervision would put a brake upon any tendency
to flood the Australian market. We would nevertheless need to
retain freedom to keep imports within reasonable bounds in the
interests of our own producers or, in special cases, in the
interests of the United Kingdom, or other established suppliers to
Australia. This would require an escape clause in the trade
agreement enabling Australia to impose additional or special
customs duties or to apply special import quotas in certain
specified circumstances.
18. There would have to be some understanding worked out with the
Japanese regarding the circumstances in which Australia would
apply these safeguards and one basis of the arrangement might be
that the Japanese exporters themselves, under supervision of their
Government, would control either the price or the volume of their
exports to Australia so as to make special action by Australia
unnecessary. The important thing, however, would be that Australia
retained freedom to impose special duties or quotas to prevent
serious damage to Australian industries or to the trade of
established suppliers to the Australian market like the United
19. The proposed special duties safeguard would provide a
selective method of dealing with low-cost consignments by one or
two exporters. In this connection, however, legislative action
would be necessary, e.g. by amendment of the Customs Tariff
(Industries Preservation) Act, to enable these special duties to
be applied speedily and effectively.
20. The basis of the special or emergency duty would be that
whenever imports threaten or cause serious damage to Australian
industry or disruption of the trade of established suppliers like
the U.K., special duty should be payable which would bring the
cost up to the cost of the comparable product imported from other
countries. An essential feature would be to ensure that such
duties could be applied swiftly and certainly. The details would
need to be worked out by the departments concerned. They would
include such matters as the criteria to be employed in the
assessment of the duty, the role of the Tariff Board, the period
for which the emergency duty could apply, and procedural aspects.
21. The power to impose special duties could be very valuable in
our dealings with the U.K. or for that matter with other important
supplying countries. It would be a policy issue whether we
resorted to it to protect the interests of U.K. or other countries
in particular cases in return for an adequate quid pro quo.
Requests from the other country for action along these lines would
be handled in a similar manner to requests for special duties to
safeguard domestic industry and the amended legislation would be
framed to provide for this.
22. These new provisions would need to be of general application-
i.e. they would not appear to relate to Japan alone-and they would
be permissive, not mandatory. On that basis, the adoption of the
legislation would not itself bring any conflict with G.A.T.T. nor
would application of the special duty to a non-G.A.T.T. country
raise any questions in G.A.T.T. Application of the special duty to
a G.A.T.T. country would be quite compatible with G.A.T.T. if on
the grounds of protecting the Australian industry, and fairly well
defensible, though not conclusively so, if on the grounds of
protecting the established pattern of trade.
23. It should be noted that the proposed negotiations with Japan
have no immediate connection from Australia's point of view with
the question of the application of G.A.T.T. to trade relations
between Australia and Japan.
24. For presentational purposes any escape provision in the trade
agreement would probably need to confer equal rights on Japan and
Australia, but this would have no real effect for Australian
exports which, because of their character as primary products, do
not raise this kind of problem for Japan. However, Japan may seek
her own kind of escape clause to balance the one sought by
25. Other possible bases for trade negotiations with Japan have
been examined. Of these the main one has been that we should give
Japan most-favoured-nation tariff treatment, but should have a
list of exceptions, i.e., goods to which that most-favoured-nation
commitment would not apply.
The main reasons for rejecting this approach have been:-
(a) It would be difficult to justify to Australian manufacturers
leaving some items off the list of exceptions when other items
were in the list.
(b) Such a 'partial m.f.n.' commitment would be bound to be much
reduced in value to the Japanese, as a trade agreement benefit,
because we would almost certainly exclude some of her key items of
trade. Also it would have very much less value to Japan from a
trading prestige point of view.
(c) It would invite the Japanese to make similar exceptions on
their side in their treatment of Australian goods. Making
treatment of this kind reciprocal would be much more to our
disadvantage than having the escape clause now proposed apply
reciprocally (see para 24).
26. Japan's principal exports are 'B' category goods for purposes
of import licensing. As 'B' category goods from all sources are
now restricted to 30% of 1950/51 imports, the impact of Japanese
competition on local industries generally would be cushioned. The
present time is therefore as favourable as any for according most-
favoured-nation treatment to Japan.
United Kingdom Interests
27. Japan might be brought to agree to special provision for the
protection of the interests of third countries in the Australian
market against low cost commercial competition (as distinct from
dumping) which would violently disrupt production in these
countries. They said as much in Geneva in 1953 in connection with
the report of the G.A.T.T. Intersessional Committee on the
question of adequate safeguards against Japanese competition,
although their statement then was connected with their admission
to G.A.T.T. and not with any bilateral agreement. At all events,
something on these lines could be pressed for in the negotiations.
28. U.K. has expressed the hope that if Commonwealth countries
make bilateral agreements with Japan they will provide safeguards
for the interests of other Commonwealth countries. If Australia
were free under a trade agreement with Japan under certain
conditions to regulate imports from Japan in the interests of the
U.K., this could be a very valuable consideration in our dealings
with the U.K. and could be explored with the U.K. concurrently
with any trade negotiations with Japan. It could have value in our
dealings with other countries also (e.g. Italy, Germany).
Foreign Policy Considerations
29. Cabinet has already decided that, in handling issues involving
our relations with Japan, we should be guided by the principle of
allowing Japan, through co-operation with non-communist nations,
to have reasonable facilities for meeting her economic
difficulties by expanding her export trade and for developing her
political and economic life and institutions in a way that will
strengthen her association with the West. A satisfactory solution
to our present trade problems with Japan would be in conformity
with that policy decision.
30. Under post-war conditions, Japan is in fact one of our most
important markets, and is of growing importance-especially for our
two major exports, wool and wheat. We apply our highest tariff
rates to Japanese goods (almost only to Japanese goods) and in
import licensing we discriminate on non-currency grounds against
Japanese goods alone. Our exports to Japan are by no means
invulnerable. We cannot assume that if the present opening of a
trade agreement misfires, Japan will continue even her present
treatment of Australian goods. It is important, therefore, that we
reach an understanding with Japan for the protection of our trade
interests now and the future improvement of our export
31. Owing to the nature of the respective export trades most-
favoured-nation tariff treatment is perhaps more important to
Japan than to Australia. This disparity of benefit may be balanced
by the wider assurances we seek in non-tariff matters.
32. To reach agreement with Japan it will be necessary to give the
Japanese as near to normal treatment as practicable, i.e. m.f.n.
tariff treatment and non-discriminatory import licensing
treatment. The essential point is that adequate safeguards be
retained in order to protect Australian manufacturing interests
where necessary and to protect UK interests as required. Adequate
safeguards could be provided by the inclusion of appropriate
escape provisions in any trade agreement with Japan and by
amendment of the Customs Tariff (Industries Preservation) Act.
(a) That trade negotiations be entered into with Japan on the
basis that:-
(i) We seek commitments by Japan to safeguard our export interests
in her market, e.g. in tariff treatment, import licensing
treatment, her internal economic policies on major Australian
commodities (wool, wheat and barley), and opportunity of prior
consultation in respect of proposed receivals of aid or surplus
primary commodities from U.S.A. which might prejudice Australian
trade interests.
(ii) Subject to Australia's retaining full freedom to safeguard
Australian industry or established trade of the U.K. or other
suppliers to Australia from a disruptive volume of imports from
Japan, we be prepared to consider accepting commitments to extend
most-favoured-nation treatment to Japan in tariff matters, and
(subject to currency considerations) the same import licensing
treatment as is extended to non-dollar countries generally.
(iii)That the Customs Tariff (Industries Preservation) Act be
amended to enable emergency duties to be applied to the extent
necessary to control low-cost imports from Japan so as to avoid
serious damage to Australian industry or established patterns of
(b) That other Commonwealth countries be informed of the
Government's intention to enter into negotiations with Japan and a
public announcement be made at an appropriate time.

CHICAGO, March 20—Golin/Harris International has enjoyed some of its biggest new business successes of recent months in the social marketing arena, including a massive project to manager the Illinois Department of Public Health's anti-tobacco efforts. Now the firm is expanding and formalizing its social marketing capabilities with the acquisition of The Nixon Group, a Miami-based firm that handles anti-tobacco efforts in several states.
Nixon has three practice areas—social marketing, healthcare, and consumer brands—and a client list that includes The American Legacy Foundation, Noven Pharmaceuticals, Triarc Restaurant Group (parent of Arby's and TJ Cinnamons), Fresh Del Monte Produce and tobacco prevention campaigns in nine states. Nixon Group's fee billings topped $4.2 million in 2001, following three consecutive years of better than 30 percent growth. In addition to its Miami headquarters, The Nixon Group has offices in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
The Nixon Group's award-winning social marketing team will be the cornerstone of the new practice. The Golin/Harris approach to social marketing will build upon a philosophy that recognizes the value of social action in building trust-based relationships among stakeholders.
"Today's announcement allows us to formalize what we have been doing since Al Golin first recognized the value of trust-based relationships nearly five decades ago," said Rich Jernstedt, CEO. "Al's groundbreaking wisdom was the forerunner to the cause marketing, social marketing and corporate philanthropy models that are becoming more prevalent in the public relations field today. With our new social marketing practice, we are giving deeper purpose to his time-proven vision that good deeds are, in fact, good business."
The acquisition also allows Golin/Harris to become a leader in Florida.
"From the first time I met Rich, Al and the rest of the Golin/Harris leadership team, I knew this is where we belonged," said David Nixon, CEO and founder of The Nixon Group. "Our phenomenal success these past few years is rooted in our ability to attract great people and provide an environment where they can flourish. We found that Golin/Harris shares the same values and priorities that we cherish, while also offering us resources, professional development and leadership that will allow us to better serve our clients."
Nixon will become an executive vice president, assisting in managing and developing the firm's healthcare, consumer marketing and corporate communications business throughout the southeast region of the U.S. Rob Anderson, a Nixon Group shareholder, will also become an executive vice president and lead the new D.C.-based social marketing practice.

It is possible to draw a simple model summarising language use in a community. Example 4, Figure 2.1 Diglossia "The situation where two varieties of a language exist side by side throughout the community, with each having a definite role to play." (Ferguson, 1959) Diglossia 1. Two distinct varieties of the same language are used in the community, with one regarded as a high (H) variety and the other a low (L) variety. 2. Each variety is used for quite distinct functions; H and L complement each other. 3. No one uses the H variety in everyday conversation. Diglossia Activity 2.2 Functional distribution of H and L varieties across different domains of language use in diglossic situations Diglossia Domains of Language Use Sermon in church or mosque H L Instructions to servants, waiters, workmen, clerks Personal letter Speech in parliament, legislative councils, political speech University lecture Conversation with family, friends, colleagues News broadcast TV 'soap opera' Newspaper editorial, news story, caption on picture Poetry Folk literature Popular youth magazines Facebook, Line, WhatsApp, Skype, Google Talk, WeChat Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Prestige H is superior to L. There is a usual belief that H is somehow more beautiful, more logical, better able to express important thoughts. This belief is also held by speakers whose command of H is quite limited. Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Literary heritage A sizeable body of written literature in H is held in high esteem by the speech community. Contemporary writers tend to use words, phrases, or constructions which were used in literary history. 18 Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Acquisition L is learned by children in what may be regarded as the "normal" way of learning one's mother tongue. H is chiefly learnt by means of formal education. Acquisition The grammatical structure of L is learned without explicit discussion of grammatical concepts; the grammar of H is learned in terms of "rules" and norms to be imitated. Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Standardisation There is a strong tradition of grammatical study of the H form of the language. There are grammars, dictionaries, treaties on pronunciation, style and so on. The orthography is well established and has little variation. For the L variety, there is no settled orthography and there is wide variation in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Stability Diglossia typically persists at least several centuries, and evidence in some cases seems to show that it can last well over a thousand years. The communicative tensions arisen in diglossia situation may be resolved by the use of relatively uncodified, unstable, intermediate forms of the language and repeated borrowings of vocabulary items from H to L. Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Grammar H is more rule-governed. H has grammatical categories not present in L and has an inflectional system of nouns and verbs which is much reduced or totally absent in L. For example, Standard German has four cases in the noun and two indicative tenses in the verb; Swiss German has three cases in the noun and only one simple tense. Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Lexicon Generally speaking, the vocabulary of H and L is shared. H includes in its total lexicon technical terms and learned expressions which have no regular L equivalents. L includes popular expressions and the names of very homely objects. Lexicon There is existence of many paired items, one H and one L. Lexicon Greek H ikos idhor eteke als L spiti nero eyenise ma house water gave birth but Lexicon American H illumination purchase children L light buy kids Criteria for diglossia (Fasold, 1984) Function Prestige Literary Heritage Acquisition Standardisation Stability Grammar Lexicon Phonology Phonology H and L phonologies may be: quite close, as in the two varieties of Greek; strikingly divergent, as in Standard German and Swiss German. Extended definition of diglossia Fishman (1967, 1971) extended the notion of diglossia to any situation in which different linguistic varieties have functionally differentiated roles in a society. Diglossia and bilingualism Diglossia A characteristic of speech communities Bilingualism A characteristic of individuals 4 possible situations of diglossia + Bilingualism - Bilingualism + Diglossia + Diglossia + Bilingualism + Diglossia - Bilingualism - Diglossia - Diglossia + Bilingualism - Diglossia -Bilingualism Polyglossia Fasold (1984) proposed the term 'polyglossia' to describe a situation in which there are more than 2 languages or varieties which stand in mutually exclusive functional relations with each other. Polyglossia One standard language is used as a H form in several different speech communities, each of which employs its own L variety. High Low 1 Low 2 Low 3 Low 4 Triglossia Three languages, A, B and C. In relation to language A, language B is L; in relation to language C, however, language B is H. Such a case has been termed double overlapping diglossia e.g. Tanzania Triglossia ______________________________________ English H ____________________________________ H Swahili L ____________________________________ L Vernacular ____________________________________ Double-nested diglossia H and L varieties are each themselves subdivided into H and L varieties e.g. Khalapur, India Double-nested diglossia H Oratorical style -------------Hindi-------------L Conversational style H Saf boli ------------Khalapur---------- L Moti boli H L Linear polyglossia Three or more languages or varieties are on a continuum from H to L e.g. Malaysia Linear polyglossia Formal Malaysian English H1 Bahasa Malaysia H2 Mandarin DH Colloquial Malaysian English M1 Dominant Chinese language M2 'Native' Chinese language L1 Other Chinese languages L2-Ln Bazaar Malay L- Diglossia in Hong Kong Chinese Speech Community Spoken language (口語) L : Cantonese Book language (書面語) H : Putonghua and standard written Chinese Triglossia ______________________________________ English H ____________________________________ H Standard Chinese L ____________________________________ L Cantonese ____________________________________ Code-switching Code-switching Alternate use of two or more languages in an extended stretch of discourse, where the switch takes place in between sentences Code-mixing Alternate use of two or more languages, but the switch takes place within a sentence Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 1 Marker of solidarity Example 8: In New Zealand, a person may choose to greet someone in Maori as a marker of solidarity. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching [Maori in red] Sarah: John : Sarah: Mere : I think everyone's here except Mere. She said she might be a bit late but actually I think that's her arriving. You're right. Kia Ora Mere. Haere mai. Kei te pehea koe? [Hi Mere. Come in. How are you?] Kia ora e hoa. Kei te pai. [Hello my friend. I am fine.] Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example: In a Polish family in Lancashire in the 1950s, the family members switched code when the local English-speaking priest arrived. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example: In Scotland, Highlanders use Gaelic to signal their identification with the local Gaelic speech community. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example: Two Mexican Americans met in the United States. [Spanish in red] A : M : Well, I'm glad I met you, ok? Andale pues [Ok well], and do come again. Mm? Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example: In Hong Kong, Cantonese is a marker of group and ethnic solidarity. (Gibbons 1987) Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example 10: In Hemnesberget, a little village in Norway, Bokmål or standard Norwegian is the variety to use when you go to the tax office to sort out your tax forms. But the person you will deal with may also be your neighbour and you will normally use Ranamål to speak to them. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching [Ranamål in black. Bokmål in red] Jan: Peter: Jan: Peter: Hello Peter. How is your wife now? Oh she's much better thank you Jan. She's out of hospital and convalescing well. That's good I'm pleased to hear it. Do you think you could help with this pesky form? I am having a great deal of difficulty with it. Of course. Give it here… Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Predicting code choice Exercise 8 Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 2 Quotation Example 11: A Maori person is recalling a visit of a respected elder to a nearby town: 'That's what he said in Blenheim. Ki a mätou Ngäti Porou, te Mäoritanga I papi ake i te whenua. [We of the Ngäti Porou tribe believe the origins of Mäoritanga are in the earth.] And those Blenheim people listened carefully to him too.' Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching A special kind of quotation: a proverb or a well-known saying Example 12: A group of Chinese students studying in UK are discussing Chinese customs: 'People here get divorced too easily. Like exchanging faulty goods. In China it's not the same. 嫁雞隨雞,嫁狗隨狗.' [If you marry a dog you follow the dog, if you marry a chicken you follow the chicken] Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 3 Affective factors English Toilet Washroom Shxt Cantonese 廁所 洗手間 X or XX Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 4 Anger Example 15 (Gal 1979) In the town of Oberwart two little Hungarianspeaking children were playing in the woodshed and knocked over a carefully stacked pile of firewood. Their grandfather walked in and said in Hungarian, the language he usually used to them: Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 'Szo! ide dzüna! Jeszt Jerámunyi mind e kettüötök, no hát akkor!' [Well come here! Out all this away, both of you, well now.] When they did not respond quickly enough he switched to German: 'Kum her!' [Come here!] Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example 13: Polly - A young British black woman - speaks standard English with a West Midlands accent as well as Patois, a variety of Jamaican Creole. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching On one occasion a school teacher annoyed her intensely by criticising a story she had written about British West Indians. In particular, he corrected the use of Patois by one of her characters – something he knew nothing about. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Her response was to abuse him in Patois, swearing at him only just below her breath. The effect was electrifying. Polly uses code-switching to express her anger. The teacher didn't need to understand the words in this case. He simply needed to get the message that Polly was angry. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example 16 Father : Tea is ready, Robbie. (Robbie ignores him and carries on skateboarding) Father : Mr Robert Harris if you do not come immediately there will be consequences which you will regret. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching 5 Identity marking Example 17: At a village meeting among the Buang people in Papua New Guinea, Mr. Rupa, the main village entrepreneur and 'bigman', is trying to persuade people who have put money into a village store to leave it there. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching [Tok Pisin is in red. Buang is in black.] Ikamap trovel o wonem, mi ken stretim olgeta toktok. Orait, Pasin ke ken be, meni ti ken nyep la, su lok lam memba re, olo ba miting autim olgeta tok …, moni ti ken nyep ega, rek mu su rek ogoko nam be, one moni rek, … moni ti ken bak stua lam vu Mambump re, m nzom agon. Orait, bihain, bihainim bilong wok long bisnis, orait, moni bilong stua bai ibekim olgeta ples. Sociolinguistic motivations for codeswitching Example 18 Alf is talking to a fellow Samoan at work about his attempt to go on a diet. [English is in black. Samoan is in red.] 'My doctor told me to go on a diet. She said I was overweight. So I tried. But it was so hard. I'd keep thinking about food all the time. Even when I was at work. And in bed at night I'd get desperate. I couldn't get to sleep. So I'd get up and raid the fridge. Then I'd feel guilty and sick.' Linguistic features of CantoneseEnglish code-mixing in Hong Kong Phonology Morphology Syntax Lexis Phonology English pronunciation is influenced by Cantonese sound system a. syllabic structure e.g. chance, power, file, post, qualification, statistics, tutorial b. stress e.g. member, happy Morphology English words with Cantonese morphemes a. Cantonese aspect markers are used with English verbs e.g. 咗 cancel 咗, lose 咗, join 咗 music club 緊 talk 緊, read 緊, mark 緊 Morphology b. Cantonese auxiliary verbs are used with English verbs e.g. need (駛) 唔駛 prepare, 駛唔駛 present, 唔駛 test can (會) 會 finish, 會 dance, 會 understand will, may (會) 會 fail, 會 collapse, 會 upload Morphology c. English adjectives are modified by Cantonese adverbs of degree e.g. quite (幾) 幾 smart, 幾 free, 幾 busy e.g. very (好): 好 fair, 好 happy, 好 fit Morphology d. Chinese classifiers are used with English nouns e.g. a (個): 個 term, 個 semester, 個 bag Syntax Cantonese syntax with English lexis inserted a. V neg V : e.g. meet 唔 meet target take 唔 take course work 唔 work b. V then V: e.g. go 就 go keep 就 keep Lexis a. English lexis is split into separate syllables by insertion of a Cantonese morpheme e.g. pro 唔 produce de 唔 desirable can 唔 cancel Lexis b. Cantonese expressions are literally translated into English e.g. no eye see people mountain people sea

As requested in an IM.
The recipe comes from here and there are pictures and video, as well as more in-depth descriptions of the why are they doing this questions you may have.
Broth (make a day ahead)
5 to 6 pounds of beef knuckles or leg bones
6 quarts cold water
2 medium onions, quartered
4-inch piece of fresh ginger, halved lengthwise
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
6 star anise
6 whole cloves
1 black cardamom pod (you can use green if you can't find black)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup good quality fish sauce
1-inch piece yellow rock sugar or about 1 Tbsp packed of palm sugar
Pho Assembly
1 pound small (1/8-inch wide) dried or fresh "banh pho" noodles (see notes
1/2 pound raw tenderloin, eye of round, sirloin or tri-tip steak, thinly sliced across the grain (see note)
1/4 cup thinly sliced onions (soaked in ice water, drained to remote harshness) or sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Enoki and/or beech mushrooms, oprional
Baby (and I do mean baby, like 3-4 inches long at most) bok choy, sliced thinly, optional
Garnish at table, optional
Sprigs of fresh mint and/or Asian/Thai basil
Bean sprouts
Thinly sliced red chilies (such as Thai bird)
Lime wedges
Fish sauce
Hoisin sauce
*Make this a day ahead so it can be refrigerated overnight.*
Char the quartered onions and halved ginger on a foil-covered baking sheet under the broiler on high for 10 -15 minutes, turning occasionally so that they evenly char.
Place cinnamon sticks, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, star anise, cloves and the black cardamom pod into a small frying pan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until fragrant, About 5 minutes. Cool slightly, then place toasted spices into a cotton muslin bag or a square of cheesecloth and tightly tie with butchers twine to form a bundle.
Meanwhile, in a very large pot, 10+ quarts, place bones (see notes) and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat for 3-5 minutes. Drain, discarding the water. Scrub and rinse bones under running water to remove any of the scum/impurities residue (but don't remove any attached meat/gristle, just get the "gunk" off), then scrub pot to remove any stuck-on residue. Place the bones back in the pot and cover with 6 quarts of cold water.
Bring the parboiled bones and water to a boil then lower to a gentle simmer. Add the charred onion and ginger, as well as the bag or sachet of toasted spices. Then, add 1-1/2 tablespoons of salt, 1/4 cup of fish sauce and the sugar. Simmer broth, uncovered, for 3 hours. Skim off any foam that forms from time to time.
Cool broth. Remove bones, onion and ginger with tongs or a slotted spoon, then strain through a fine mesh strainer. The broth will have a layer of fat at the the top. Refrigerate the broth overnight so the fat will layer and solidify, then remove and discard.
Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Prepare the noodles as below in notes. Place enough noodles in each bowl to fill about 1/3.
Arrange slices of raw meat into bowls, mushrooms and bok choy if using, and then top with the hot broth. Finish broth with onion/green onion slices and cilantro. Serve bowls with a plate of optional garnishes listed above.
Go to an Asian market to buy the bones. They are much cheaper and the butchers always seem to happily cut them for you. I buy enough for 1-1/2 to 2 recipes since it takes so long to make, then label and freeze for later use. Of course, you will be limited as to how much you can make by the size of your biggest pot. When you simmer bones they release impurities. You want your broth to be nice and clear. I start out by rinsing the raw bones well under running water to remove any bone dust from them being cut; then I proceed with instructions above.
You can find dried and usually fresh pho noodles at Asian markets. The dried will need to be soaked in very hot water for 15-20 minutes. The fresh may need to be cooked in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drained. See packaging for exact instructions. I've also used glass/cellophane noodles just because they were in the pantry. These need to be soaked as above before using.

Re: Pho
Oh, man, what a great post, Karen - thank you so much!
There are a couple of things I need to get at the Asian supermarket that are new to me. Since I can never find anyone to help who speaks English, it will be a hunt for anise (yuck) and the sugar!

Re: Pho
LOL! We have the same problem here with language. I've found it helps to pull up pictures on my phone of various brands.
You should be able to get star anise (they look like stars or flowers sort of) at a regular grocery store, though it will probably be more expensive.
The last Palm sugar we got was in little half moons, about a tablespoon in size, though we have gotten it in solid block form before. I like the little half moons better, easier to deal with because that stuff is HARD!

Re: Pho
Oh, I forgot. To keep the pho from getting cool too fast, I pour just under boiling water in the serving bowls and let them sit for 5-7 minutes to warm the bowls. Then, right before putting the meat, etc in just drain the water out, don't need to dry them.
