Thoughts on Miguel Cabrera
By now, most of you know about Miguel Cabrera's drinking incident on Friday night/Saturday morning. It has turned into a national story with all kinds of rumors and speculation and is threatening to overshadow the one game playoff with the Twins on Tuesday evening. I'd rather think about the game but I feel compelled to write something about what has become a major deal.
The facts have been coming in amidst the rumors throughout the day. What we know for sure is that Cabrera got very drunk (a .26 Blood Alcohol Content at 6:00 AM on Saturday) after Friday night's game. He also got into a physical altercation with his wife which would explain the scratches which appeared on his face on Saturday. His wife Rosangel also suffered an injury to her lip during the incident but neither pressed charges. There are lots of opinions on these events on the internet today, some more rational than others. One of the best takes comes from Mack Avenue Kurt.
It certainly comes to no surprise to see a ballplayer get very drunk after a game. As much as some of us would like to think that all players keep themselves in optimal physical condition during the season, heavy drinking is part of the lifestyle of many professional athletes. Still, it's very disappointing to see a player get that drunk (.26 is very very high) on the morning before the biggest game of the year. It is possible (some say likely) that such an extreme level of drinking would effect his performance on the field the next game. It's that performance on the field which is a concern to fans.
Some fans are worried about rumors that he may have been drinking with the enemy - White Sox players - Saturday Morning. I don't see anything wrong with that and suspect it is quite common for players to fraternize with friends on opposing teams during a series. Again, I don't care very much what he does off the field as long as it doesn't affect his play on the field.
Some are calling him a wife beater. Based on what I've read, it does not sound like that at all. His wife did not press charges and the police did not see evidence of abuse. There was no arrest so that part of the story is really between the Cabrera's and should not be of any concern to fans.
This was Cabrera's second brush with the law in the last several weeks (the other involving a dispute with a man and a teenager at a hotel restaurant). While there is no indication that the incident involved drinking, there is speculation that his binging on Friday night was not an isolated episode. If he indeed has a drinking problem, then that would be a legitimate worry of fans as it could be preventing him from being as good as he can be as a player. If Miguel does have an ongoing alcohol problem ( I don't know if he does), then perhaps this incident could sufficiently embarrass himself and the Tigers enough for something to be done about it.
I've heard some say that the Tigers should bench Cabrera for Tuesday's game to send a message that out of control drinking which could affect play on the field will not be tolerated. I think if they wanted to do that, then Saturday (when he was perhaps playing drunk) would have been the appropriate time. I think Benching him on Tuesday would hurt teammates and fans who want to see them win the game. They are enough of an underdog already without putting their best hitter on the bench. I want them to concentrate on winning the game for now and deal with Cabrera's issues later.
Hopefully, the game will be the story on Tuesday night rather than Cabrera's drinking. Unfortunately, if the Tigers lose though, I'm afraid this story will not go away for a long time.

This was a very good article (especially after plowing through Motown Sports). I agree with all of this, but in cases like this I am not sure of the right solution.
If it is a drinking problem, should the Tigers check his Blood Alcohol Content on Tuesday? Every Game? If they check his, should they check any player the suspect? (I am sure they couldn't or the Union would stop it.)
I read the Mack Ave article and think the sincere apology to the fans would be a great start, however... we live in a society that we don't receive much sincerity from players...instead way too much spin, so much so I am not sure if I recognize sincerity any more.
Maybe fans shouldn't expect trust from athletes, but it would be ince if we could.

This was my post from another site. I think it's really unfortunate to see the degree of hatred from our fans personally, anyhow this was my comment on the issue...
Did it say anywhere at what time he was tested and with what type of equipment the measure was taken? .26 is very high, but it wouldn't be the first time in history that a police officer recorded an inaccurate reading with faulty or unreliable equipment/methods, just sayin'. Just because ESPN and MLIVE report it as a .26 doesn't mean it is absolute truth. I wouldn't hold a .26 against the guy until I knew it was reliable data. It would be helpful if there was corroborating evidence from the barkeep and/or receipts regarding his drinking levels.
I would also be interested to know Cabrera's full side of the story along with all of the other witnesses, as well as at what time he had those drinks, and what he was doing for transportation. If you guys come across more details from more links in the future, please post them here so we can learn more about was happening. From everything I have read so far, I'm definitely not going to be bashing Cabrera just because he had one awful night of poor judgment, as there is just too many details unknown as well as others that I can't substantiate. Surely the early indication is that it doesn't look good for Cabrera in terms of his actions, but I do not like making mistakes, and I'm not going to condemn Cabrera at the level that I have seen others do until I know exactly what happened and to a reasonable degree of certainty.
-TSE
While its true players may "drink with the enemy" from time to time, I know there are a lot of old-timers out there that would never have considered such behavior during the season. These are the kind of guys I miss in sports today. We have become a very tolerant society, in some cases for the better, in others not so much. We seem more ready to accept a lack of dicipline today than in earlier generations. Not just in sports, but in general. Younger folks will probably disacgree with that, but it does not change the fact. There is no excuse for Cabrera's actions. Period. I feel like I've just wasted an entire baseball season routing for a team whose best player doesn't have the discipline to do the right thing. For those that want to make excuses for him, go ahead. But for me, it is simply sickening. So now someone can write an apology for him and all will be fine. Come on.
A double and a HR for Cabrera, NICE!
Kiss my ass Cabrera haters out there!
You guys aren't loyal fans and don't deserve to bask in the glory that Cabrera brings to your lives. Disloyal fans should keep their mouths shut today and take some time to reflect on their behavior and learn how to be a better teammate for the future imo.
Cabrera is a winner, and I support winners; you should too.
The Tigers wouldn't have needed that double and HR in a play-out game if he'd not been a drunken bum over the weekend distracting the team management and players during the most critical series of the year. Here is a winning strategy: come to the park ready to play baseball. Cabrera is a loser, not a winner.
He is a winner. He lost on that day and killed us in that game. But overall he has produced more than he has cost us. That is winning, it's about the totality of your gains and total receipts. He is for all intents and purposes in the black, not the red. Winners end in the black, losers end in the red.
He is not responsible for the team being in the red. The Manager and GM are. We paid more than enough money for a winning result. They delivered to us a losing result, and that is the bottom line. I would never spend $120+M to NOT make the playoffs, that's for damn sure, and I expect the same in return from somebody doing that job in lieu of myself.

Handy tips from giants on how to seal long-term deals (Daily Nation (Kenya))
February 25, 2015 siadmin
About two weeks ago, Health Cabinet secretary James Macharia hailed the Sh38 billion public hospitals equipment purchase deal "the first of its kind in subSaharan Africa."
And from the five multinationals that are participating in the project, and others that have been struck with county governments, investors can draw valuable lessons on how to enter into longterm business relationships.
As Money trailed the histories of two multinationals that have a long commercial presence in Africa, Philips Healthcare and drugs maker GlaxoSmithKline, it is evident that it is not just financial muscle that has won them business.
For Netherlandsbased Philips Healthcare, the company set to supply Intensive Care Unit equipment worth Sh3.3 billion in the giant plan, it was a case of drawing a parallel between the country's diseases burden and the market opportunity in Kenya's healthcare system.
In defending the mode of acquisition, Mr Macharia said that the government could not raise all the money at once, hence the need for collaborations.
In 2013/2014 financial year, health expenditure was Sh22.6 billion, a drop in the ocean for an ailing system: by 2013, there were only 8,682 doctors, about 21 doctors for every 100,000 people according to the economic survey.
OPPORTUNITY MEETS PREPAREDNESS
Kenya is not only hurting from diseases that have been eradicated in other parts of the world, but also non communicable ones such as cancer that claims 27,000 lives every year.
This leaves gaps for investors, as noted by Kenya Healthcare Federation and founder of Avenue Healthcare, Dr Amitt Thakker. "Supply chain, pharmaceutical, medical education and training, infrastructure the list is endless," Dr Thakker said.
Philips East Africa boss Roelof Assies said he is aware of the need that Kenya has for medical equipment and his firm's presence in the country is simply 'opportunity meets preparedness'.
After seeing the opportunity, Philips invested in building reputation and running projects targeting low income Kenyans.
During the launch of Sh38 billion project, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that it is in healthcare that stark realities of inequality show up.
Money established that the equipment were made after research, Philips dedicates a substantial percentage of its budget into research, studying infrastructural and the socioeconomic challenges that plague Kenya's healthcare.
For instance, in its road show last year, Philips launched an 11inch tablet ultrasound machine, in collaboration with African Medical and Research Foundation Health African (AMREF).
The tablet, VISIQ, which was later taken to a public health centre in Kibera, in Nairobi, was designed to run against the infrastructural odds that even hospitals with conventional imaging equipment face.
It uses rechargeable batteries meaning it can operate off the grid; it weighs 1.2 kilos and can fit in backpacks so that healthcare workers can carry it even to patients in areas where there are poor road networks.
In a country with few personnel who can interpret radiology images, Xrays, computerised tomography (CT) scans, the machine not only has an interface so simple it could be interpreted by anybody with simple knowledge of a phone, but it's also fitted with universal serial bus (USB) ports so that it can transmit images over wireless channels such as WIFI.
Its price, $14,500 (about S.2 million) is a far cry from the collosal amounts paid to buy a modern ultrasound machine.
So, even as health care providers cringed Kenya's unacceptably high rates of maternal mortality caused by, among others lack of imaging equipment, Philips merged the need and business in VISIQ.
A similar holistic approach to health care would be replicated in the company's partnership in Kiambu Lang'ata community life centre where it donated solarpowered medical equipment. The company also drilled a borehole and installed a water purification system to endear itself to the society.
With its record of offering sustainable solutions, Philips' reputation was in sync with the tender requirement.
"The legal document limited those bidding to be original manufacturers of the equipment because we wanted people who will not only supply the equipment but also keep them running" said Health minister James Macharia.
Compared to the developed world, subSaharan Africa does not offer instant payments to companies that seek to invest in health care.
Conscious of this reality, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the world's second largest drugs maker, has embraced a rare trait, patience, to enjoy a huge market share in the manufacture of the many drugs used in local hospitals, especially for HIV and Aids.
Kenya is one of the three countries in Africa where GSK makes drugs apart from South Africa and Nigeria. Earlier this month, it announced plans of investing up to Pound 100 million (about S4 billion) in expanding its factories in Kenya, and Nigeria. And in trying to rewrite a silent contract it has with the society and the vast business community, GSK has made a radical and altruistic strategy in Africa that seems to have paid off.
In 2009, GSK'S head Andrew Witty was quoted in the Guardian saying that the firm would slash prices on all drugs to countries that fall into its "least developed" category to no more than 25 per cent of the levels in Europe as well as give back 20 per cent of its profits to be spent on hospitals and clinics in these regions.
And just recently, GSK shared the sacred cow of pharmaceuticals by donating 800 patents to an intellectual property pool.
GSK's vicepresident in charge of Africa and developing countries, Mr Ramil Burden, said that the company operates on a 'differential time frame' in Kenya.
"The money we get from Africa is very little as compared to the US or the UK," he said, adding that: "we have accepted that the lower prices and margins mean we will take perhaps 10 years to get substantial returns."
Kenya, like any other growing economy in Africa, needs medical supplies, which it would pay gradually, hence the patience that companies such as GSK have expressed.
"Take time to learn the culture and then make products integrated into that culture," Mr Ramil said.
Perhaps most visible strategy of the aforementioned companies is their partnerships with local organisations, a strategy that may have built goodwill.
In 2013, GSK partnered with global charity firm, Save the Children to "save the lives of one million children" by broadening access to vaccines, investing in health workers, improving child nutrition and researching new medicines in Kenya, and Democratic Republic of Congo.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BUSINESS FOR THE LONGTERM
1. Scout for opportunities in different sectors of the economy. Turn to research and come up with viable ways of solving the problem.
2. Build a good reputation with both the society and the government founded on business ethics, quality products and consistency.
3. Patience pays: consider cutting prices in the shortterm with a view to earn profits in the longterm.
4. Develop products that meet the needs of the target market in terms of expertise and affordability.
5. Partner with other organisations to broaden your reach.

The next generation of health care professionals are already testing the job in Tripp County.
Equipped with pagers, 11 Colome and Winner High School students with hopes of pursuing health care careers are getting real-world training as part of the Tripp County Ambulance Cadets program.
The program, implemented in 2013, allows the students to have their own pagers and go on ambulance calls with the local ambulance services when dispatched. They are trained in CPR and basic first-aid, and along with observing the ambulance calls, the cadets often are able to participate in providing care.
To participate, students must be 16 or older and apply by submitting an essay and application. Due to the significant amount of one-on-one training necessary to make the program a success, typically no more than 15 people are admitted to the program annually. Students then stay in the program until they graduate from high school, if they choose to stay involved.
"These cadets are the future of health care in Tripp County," Cadet Director Korie Pravecek said. "The EMTs have been wonderful with those kids, they let them get involved, do tests they can do and their skills allow and really teach them."

Q: Handling uuid pk column in yii I'm using UUID's as PK in my tables. They're stored in a BINARY(16) MySQL column. I find that they're being mapped to string type in YII. The CRUD code I generate breaks down though, because these binary column types are being HTML encoded in the views. Example:
<?php echo
        CHtml::link(CHtml::encode($data->usr_uuid), /* This is my binary uuid field */
        array('view', 'id'=>$data->usr_uuid)); ?>

To work around this problem, I overrode afterFind() and beforeSave() in my model where I convert the values to/from hex using bin2hex and hex2bin respectively. See this for more details.
This takes care of the view problems.
However, now the search on PK when accessing a url of the form:
http://myhost.com/mysite/user/ec12ef8ebf90460487abd77b3f534404
results in User::loadModel($id) being called which in turn calls:
User::model()->findByPk($id);

This doesn't work since the SQL is being generated (on account of it being mapped to php string type) is
select ... where usr_uuid='EC12EF8EBF90460487ABD77B3F534404'

What would have worked is if I could, for these uuid fields change the condition to:
select ... where usr_uuid=unhex('EC12EF8EBF90460487ABD77B3F534404')

I was wondering how I take care of this problem cleanly. I see one possiblity - extend CMysqlColumnSchema and override the necessary methods to special case and handle binary(16) columns as uuid type.
This doesn't seem neat as there's no support for uuid natively either in php (where it is treated as string) or in mysql (where I have it as binary(16) column).
Does anyone have any recommendation?

A: If you plan using it within your own code then I'd create my own base AR class:
class ActiveRecord extends CActiveRecord
{
  // ...
  public function findByUUID($uuid)
  {
    return $this->find('usr_uuid=unhex(:uuid)', array('uuid' => $uuid));
  }
}

If it's about using generated code etc. then customizing schema a bit may be a good idea.

A: I used the following method to make working with uuid (binary(16)) columns using Yii/MySQL possible and efficient. I mention efficient, because I could have just made the column a CHAR(32) or (36) with dashes, but that would really chuck efficient out of the window.
I extended CActiveRecord and added a virtual attribute uuid to it. Also overloaded two of the base class methods getPrimaryKey and setPrimaryKey. With these changes most of Yii is happy.
class UUIDActiveRecord extends CActiveRecord
{
    public function getUuid()
    {
        $pkColumn = $this->primaryKeyColumn;
        return UUIDUtils::bin2hex($this->$pkColumn);
    }

    public function setUuid($value)
    {
        $pkColumn = $this->primaryKeyColumn;
        $this->$pkColumn = UUIDUtils::hex2bin($value);
    }

    public function getPrimaryKey()
    {
            return $this->uuid;
    }

    public function setPrimaryKey($value)
    {
            $this->uuid = $value;
    }

    abstract public function getPrimaryKeyColumn();
}

Now I get/set UUID using this virtual attribute:
$model->uuid = generateUUID();  // return UUID as 32 char string without the dashes (-)

The last bit, is about how I search. That is accomplished using:
$criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$criteria->addCondition('bkt_user = unhex(:value)');
$criteria->params = array(':value'=>Yii::app()->user->getId()); //Yii::app()->user->getId() returns id as hex string
$buckets = Bucket::model()->findAll($criteria);

A final note though, parameter logging i.e. the following line in main.php:
'db'=>array(
    ...
    'enableParamLogging' => true,
    );

Still doesn't work, as once again, Yii will try to html encode binary data (not a good idea). I haven't found a workaround for it so I have disabled it in my config file.

I'm not sure how I found her, but awhile ago, I started following Lara Gastinger on Instagram. Her illustrations of botanical subjects are exquisite. At the end of December she described her perpetual journal process and invited others to join her in this way of working. I misunderstood at first and thought it was a daily drawing entry, but rereading her process again, I found out that she only enters one drawing a week. In this way, there is room for subsequent years of drawing.
I started by recording pieces of the winter wrapped garden and quickly realized that I was more inspired by my new fascination with houseplants. So I will record the houseplants I have and by the time spring arrives, I plan to move outside to record the garden.
This is a wonderful low commitment way of practicing observation drawing – especially during the busy months of work. It will also help me keep track of the plants I have and their development over the years (space allowing!).


Medical Marijuana Doctor Daytona is a cannabis dispensary in Daytona-beach, Florida.
This was the easiest experience to navigate. I filled out an online form and was contacted by Jamie to set me an appointment in the Daytona Beach Office. Then I went to the appointment and Jamie processed me and told me everything I needed to know in words I could understand. Also how Jamie went the extra mile for me was helping me to get my address changed since the one on my license is not where I live anymore. She also set me up with an awesome coupon for a new local place to fill your Rx. Kudos to Jamie and the Docs in the Daytona Beach Office!!
Dr. Bernard is the most intelligent, professional, kind and compassionate Doctor/MD I've ever dealt with in my 10 years in Florida. His knowledge, recommendations and genuinely kind spirit go WAY above and beyond any medical professional I've dealt with in over a decade. Five stars across the board!
cannamed is a very dishonest company.Everytime a former patient tries to locate former physician their company representative tells the person that the doctor has been indicted.This is totally untrue and slanderous to say the least. For one thing if you contact medical board the doctor is still practicing and is listed on the list of certified physicians.she has no disciplinary actions recorded either. It is Cannamed who should be indicted due to Renee Nunez 's actions in Florida. In fact the medical board has investigated her and complaints have been made to the attorney general's office by a former patient.Medical Board has stated she will be picked up as soon as she re enters the state of Florida. Hurry up and come back Renee .We are waiting for you. BTW she is not a registered nurse as she tries to lead you to believe as is implied on website . That is another charge she can be taken in for by falsely misrepresenting her credentials.

The Anne Frank House Museum has just recovered another item special to Anne Frank, and it went on display Wednesday.
Not long before Anne and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in 1942, Anne gave some toys – a tin of marbles, a tea set and a book – to a non-Jewish neighbor to keep safe.
That neighbor, Toosje Kupers, originally offered the items to Anne's father Otto, the only family member to survive the Holocaust, after the war ended. He told her she could keep them. She has kept all of those items ever since. It was only last year when Toosje, 83, was moving that she thought to tell the museum about the tin of marbles.
"Anne gave these to her friend for safe-keeping. She kept them for when Anne returned, but Anne did not return," da Silva added.
The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam took to their official Twitter account to post a photo of the tin and marbles.
The tin of marbles will be part of The Second World War in 100 Objects exhibition in Rotterdam.
"So many people know about Anne Frank because of the diary, which was written under such unusual circumstances. (But) the marbles are a reminder that she was just a little girl," said da Silva.
The book, which Anne received on her 13th birthday, and tea set Anne gave to Toosje have already been on display at the Anne Frank House Museum.
"We decided to present the marbles for the first time in Rotterdam. For children during that time, marbles were a treasure. They worked very hard to win them," said da Silva.
With this rediscovered item of Anne's going on display, many took to Twitter to post their favorite Anne Frank quote.

We've smelt over 500 fragrances to find the best perfumes of all time and these were the results
The classics and the up-and-coming.
By Elle Turner and Lottie Winter
It's tough-going, if you're a perfume, to seal yourself a spot alongside the greatest of all-timers. If you can transcend trends, generations and still smell intoxicating to the masses: pfft, pat on the back for you, my friend.
It's the classics and the cults that have been bringing the bacon during this difficult and "unprecedented" year. Familiarity is what's influencing the products we're buying at the moment, especially given the current difficulty in accessing testers to explore new scents. Pair this with a widespread urge to seek comfort, and it's prompting us to return to scents we know, trust and love.
So get your shoes on, we're off down memory lane... If your teenage years were one big waft of Lacoste's Touch of Pink, if your first year of uni was scented by Lady Million (mixed with jagerbomb), if your mum's favourite spritz from when you were little all sound wonderfully sentimental, prepare to get reacquainted.
Retro fragrances, like the scents we wore at high school are having a resurgence. Vera Wang's Princess which launched in 2006 and has feel-good tropical pink guava, apricot and vanilla, has become a new best-seller at The Perfume Shop. And noughties smash hits like Mugler's Alien and Chanel's beloved Coco Mademoiselle have seen sales surge at The Fragrance Shop. Meanwhile all five of Jo Malone's top sellers are established and well-known signature scents like Lime Basil & Mandarin and Pomegranate Noir.
The most elegant fragrances for when you want to feel pulled-together
Elle Turner
It makes sense. Our memories are so laced with scent, one whiff can evoke meaningful moments from our past (hence, the comfort factor). But aside from returning to old faithfuls, how do we find a scent for the moment we're in now? Get it right and your signature scent becomes an enduring calling card that signals your presence to friends whenever you arrive. Find a fleeting favourite and it can signpost a specific period in your mind for years to come.
Yet, choosing the right perfume can be tricky business. Much like finding the perfect pair of jeans or your ideal foundation, landing on a fragrance that sums you up and smells like the right fit is an instinctive (though often extensive) experience. And it's even more difficult now that we can't spritz our way through the beauty hall to find a new scent soulmate.
Luckily, we've tested out over 500 different fragrances from the classics to the blockbusters and the niche to the artisan, to provide you with a definitive guide to the world's most sophisticated and sensational smells – all in the name of helping you discover a stunning signature scent.
Whether it's floral fragrances, zesty perfumes, oud accords, or sweet smells that take your fancy, or you're into the latest and greatest scent going or a stickler for the old classics, we've rounded up the very best perfumes of all time to inspire your search. You're welcome.
But, if you are in the market for a new spritz, we've rounded up the best new-season perfumes to tempt you, as well.

Light and citrusy
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Eau De Parfum, £122.50, Tom Ford
We all know how evocative the sense of smell can be, as Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is testament to.

It's all down to the perfectly balanced combination of citrus notes – bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon – with lavender, rosemary and amber. A summer holiday in a bottle.
Sophisticated and zesty
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Eau De Cologne, £74, John Lewis
This is an icon (and a favourite of Audrey Hepburn's). It's a unisex number that smells of grapefruit, mint, wood and amber. Fresh to begin with then woody and warm to finish.
Clean and musky
Le Labo Santal 33 Eau De Parfum, £57, Cult Beauty
It's spicy, leathery and musky, but still manages to feel light and clean. A little bit rugged and a little bit smooth.
Floral and feisty

So fresh and so clean, Chloe Eau De Parfum is a classic in the making. Its main notes are all flowers; rose, lily of the valley, peony and freesia take centre stage but contrary to being a girly combination, the flowers offset each other to create something extremely versatile, playful and confident.
Heady and sexy
Calvin Klein Euphoria Eau De Parfum, £70 £34.95, Amazon
An intoxicating and intense scent, this is a blend of rich orchids, pomegranate, mahogany woods and sensual musks. It's ideal to warm you up for winter or if you're heading into evening.
Warm and intense
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum, £54, Feel Unique
Welcome to the dark and mysterious side of perfume. Black Opium is the rock'n'roll equivalent of its more classic processor, Opium, but nonetheless elegant. The dominant notes are coffee and vanilla, giving it a warm yet intense scent.
Floral and feminine
Givenchy Very Irresistible Eau De Toilette, £44, John Lewis
Sweet, summery and packed with rose, peony and verbena, this is an outdoorsy daytime number.
Fresh and feminine
Dior J'Adore Eau De Parfum, £55, John Lewis
At first spritz, J'Adore is distinctly citrusy thanks to a top note of orange and neroli, but quickly evolves into a floral bouquet of roses and jasmine, making it a supremely feminine but fresh choice.
Oriental and sensual
Guerlain Mon Guerlain Eau De Parfum, £69.50, Boots
Guerlain is known as the matriarch of French parfumerie, having produced luxurious scents for nearly two centuries. This new edition to the brand's perfume portfolio is sensual yet delicate, strong yet subtle with an intoxicating blend of Sambac jasmine, sandalwood, lavender and vanilla making for a stunning scent for every occasion.
Sparkling and floral
Chanel No.5 Eau de Parfum, £57, John Lewis
No perfume guide would be complete without a mention of Chanel's classic and timeless fragrance. No.5 was revolutionary as it was the first fragrance to rely heavily on synthetic aldehydic notes, which is what gives it its signature champagne fizz upon first spritz. Other notes include jasmine, rose and vanilla, which together with the aldehydes, makes for a fiercely feminine, every-occasion fragrance. It's little wonder why after almost a century, No.5 is still one of the best-selling perfumes the world round.
Sweet and spicy
Mugler Angel Eau De Parfum, £44.95, John Lewis
The perfume equivalent of marmite, Angel is perhaps the most divisive mainstream fragrance ever made. It's incredibly sweet, with notes of cotton candy, coconut, honey, and fruits, but is also spicy and enveloping thanks to accords of nutmeg, vanilla, chocolate and patchouli. One thing is for sure, though – it's totally one of a kind.
Luscious and alluring
Frederic Malle Carnal Flower, Eau de Parfum, £168, John Lewis
Unapologetically sexy, this fragrance is perhaps the epitome of raw female seduction. In fact, Carnal Flower uses the highest concentration of natural tuberose, which is known for its erotic and lustful aroma, in the entire perfume industry. The tuberose is offset by milky and comforting musk, only serving to enhance its allure.
Natural and seductive
Escentric Molecultes Molecule 01, £72, Harvey Nichols
This fragrance rocked the beauty world and beyond for containing nothing but pure Iso E Super – a synthetic fragrance molecule that envelops the skin in an almost invisible, yet totally irresistible, aroma. The single note enhances your bodies own natural aroma, or pheromones. In essence, it's our scent on steroids. If you spray it, you probably won't smell it on yourself. But others will come flocking. Seductive.
Smoky and raunchy
Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau De Parfum, from £59, John Lewis
This is a loud, unapologetic scent that stays around all day and all evening. This has dark notes of black orchid, spice, incense and chocolate. Not for the faint-hearted.
Silky and soft
Histoire d'Orangers Eau De Parfum, £115, Artisan Parfumeur
There's something utterly luminous about this perfume. One spritz is like opening the window to warm, sun-drenched air that's rich with the scent of Mediterranean orange blossom and neroli. As it dries down and develops, base notes of tonka bean and almond envelop the skin in a cocoon of silky softness. Simply divine.
Clean and floral
Byredo La Tulipe Eau De Parfum, £115, Byredo
Byredo is known for its disruptive take on perfume, producing innovative and intriguing fragrances that have quickly garnered a cult following. La Tulipe is revolutionary in the sense that it embodies a flower that doesn't have much scent, so it's an entirely conceptual and imaginative interpretation. The combination of fresh freesia, a floral heart and green base makes it a clean, bright and very pretty fragrance.
Fresh and sensual
Ruth Mastenbroek Dagian Eau de Parfum, £120, Ruth Mastenbroek
As one of the best perfumers in the business, Ruth Mastenbroek's latest scent does not disappoint. Dagian, which has fresh notes of lime, mint, orange blossom and rum, was inspired by Ruth's first holiday without her parents in the 70s. "I felt carefree, like I was at the start of something immensely exciting but didn't yet know what it was. I'm on the beach at dawn, toes in the sand, the sun slowly emerging and my face becoming warmer as the sun rises over the sea. It is the start of a new day, a new era, a new time in my life; looking ahead with a newly refreshed outlook," she says.

Racists' statues: five articles on the controversy
Months ago there was a big controversy about the felling of statues that honour racists. These are five of the best articles I have read on the subject.
Ross Douthat, in the New York Times:
Our civil religion, back when it had more true believers, sometimes treated departed presidents like saints. But our monuments and honorifics exist primarily to honor deeds, not to issue canonizations — to express gratitude for some specific act, to acknowledge some specific debt, to trace a line back to some worthwhile inheritance.
Thus when you enter their Washington, D.C., memorials, you'll see Thomas Jefferson honored as the man who expressed the founding's highest ideals and Abraham Lincoln as the president who made good on their promise. That the first was a hypocrite slave owner and the second a pragmatist who had to be pushed into liberating the slaves is certainly relevant to our assessment of their characters. But they remain the author of the Declaration of Independence and the savior of the union, and you can't embrace either legacy, the union or "we hold these truths …" without acknowledging that these gifts came down through them.
To repudiate an honor or dismantle a memorial, then, makes moral sense only if you intend to repudiate the specific deeds that it memorializes.
But just as Jefferson's memorial wasn't built to celebrate his slaveholding, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs wasn't named for Wilson to honor him for being a segregationist. It was named for him because he helped create precisely the institutions that the school exists to staff — our domestic administrative state and our global foreign policy apparatus — and because he was the presidential progenitor of the idealistic, interventionist worldview that has animated that foreign policy community ever since.
Or consider a different example, one raised by puckish conservatives in the last few weeks: The case of Yale University, named for a 17th-century merchant, official and dealer in slaves named Elihu Yale. What is honored and memorialized in the school's name (and this is true of many schools) is exactly one deed from Yale's often wicked and dishonest life — the donation of his money to the young college. The name "Yale" doesn't honor old Elihu's slaving; it simply pays the school's debt to him, acknowledging that Yale owes part of its very existence to a rich man's desire to see ill-gotten money put to better use.
But unless the endgame of New Haven's removal of Columbus is the expropriation of white property (Yale's property, I suppose, especially) and its redistribution to the Pequots and Mohegans, then a consistent rejection of Columbus's legacy isn't what my city is embracing. Instead, it's just doing the same thing as Princeton: keeping the inheritance, but repudiating the benefactor. Keeping the gains, but making a big show of pronouncing them ill gotten.
Meanwhile, for now the ingratitude is being presented as a clear moral advance, and it is not. To enjoy an inheritance that comes from flawed men by pretending that it comes from nowhere, through nobody, is a betrayal of memory, not its rectification — an act of self-righteousness that may not bring the revolution, but does make our ruling class that much less fit to rule.
Mary Beard, in the Times Literary Supplement:
There is no one (or almost no one) who thinks that there are no exclusions at all for statues that belong in the public realm. There would, I imagine, be very little public debate about the taking down of a statue of Goebbels or Jimmy Savile. It is, however, rather like Free Speech. No one wants it to be completely free, but we disagree on where we draw the line.
The truth is that there is no such simple version of history, or for that matter of the present: people who do good also do bad (and vice versa) and our own heroes and heroines will in due course be found wanting (or worse) too. Maybe it is the act of heroizing that is the problem, not the inevitably flawed individuals themselves.
In the longue durée, statues offer different challenges to our view of history: they ask us to think about what separates us from the heroes of the past, how we can face them down (actually these guys are just lumps of stone), and how they remind us of our own fragility in the judgement of the future.
My view of course is that museums are a source of debate and discussion about the past and the present. But I strongly suspect that those who suggest that these statues should be moved there really think that museums are a useful dumping ground for old things you don't want, but don't feel you can actually throw away.
Julian Baggini, in the Times Literary Supplement:
But slippery slope arguments are themselves slippery and need to be treated with caution. They force us to take one of two extreme, polarized positions and do not allow anything more nuanced. When the slope is slippery, the only place to be is safely at the top or right down at the bottom. There is no in-between. In the case of statues it would mean leaving everything as it is or tearing down more than most people would think reasonable.
But that does not exhaust the options. The slope is not slippery, merely craggy. With care, statues can be placed at any number of places between the exalted heights and the ignominious bottom. To do this requires going beyond neat lines, with the pure on one side and the tainted on the other. Instead, we have to make judgements on a case-by-case basis, by asking ourselves some key questions.
Is the achievement for which they are being celebrated intimately or causally tied to their sins? Were they significantly worse than others of their time? How recent was the offence? These questions do not add up to a complete and rigorous set of tests. Issues are too complicated to be settled by any moral algorithm.
By any reasonable test, David Hume should be safe. (He's not yet listed on toppletheracists.org.) Hume's racism was no more than was sadly normal at the time and it had nothing to do with what made his philosophy great. Colston, however, should go. There are countless other cases where it is not so clear cut and there is a need for considered judgements. There is a kind of slope, in that there are gradations of guilt in the heroes of the past, and very few are entirely blameless. But it is not a slippery one unless we make it so by insisting there is nothing between the moral high ground and the abyss of iniquity.
Simon Schama, in the Financial Times:
Statues are not history; rather, its opposite. History is argument; statues brook none. The whole honour of history lies in its contrarian irrepressibility; its brief to puncture the pieties of power, should they belie the truth. Those horrified by the de-pedestalisations of recent days — the Black Lives Matter protests have led to the felling of statues from the slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol to the brutal colonialist Leopold II in Belgian cities — claim that such acts "erase" history. But the contrary is true. It is more usually statues, lording it over civic space, which shut off debate through their invitation to reverence.
Let them disappear, then, but not into canals, ponds or rubbish dumps, since arbitrary acts of destruction shut down debate quite as much as uncritical reverence. Better, surely, to relocate them to museums where, properly curated, they can trigger genuine debate and historical education. One thing that the pandemic caesura has wrought is a confrontation with big historical matters: who are we as a nation, what we have been, and where we are going? If the Men in Stone (and they are overwhelmingly men) can deepen that understanding they will have served their purpose better than ever they did up on their pigeon-stained plinths.
Tyler Cowen, in Bloomberg (2007):
I can think of at least three practical reasons for erecting public statues. First, we may wish to create an incentive for future behavior, as we do with Nobel Prizes and Halls of Fame.
Statues and monuments also create focal points to help groups organize.
Third, statues and public monuments help drive tourism and establish the identities of regions.
The striking feature of these motivations is how much they are about the present and the future, not the past. So instead of obsessing over the worthies and unworthies of history, we would do better to consider which future causes statues are likely to support.
So if you're considering the worthiness of a particular statue, here are three pointers: Pretend you're from some very distant foreign country and view the dispute through that more objective lens. Second, focus on the future, and third, don't be afraid to make some changes.

Q: Newly assigned Sequence is not working In PostgreSQL, I created a new table and assigned a new sequence to the id column. If I insert a record from the PostgreSQL console it works but when I try to import a record from from Rails, it raises an exception that it is unable to find the associated sequence.
Here is the table:
\d+ user_messages;
                                                  Table "public.user_messages"
   Column    |            Type             |                         Modifiers                          | Storage  | Description
-------------+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+----------+-------------
 id          | integer                     | not null default nextval('new_user_messages_id'::regclass) | plain    |

But when I try to get the sequence with the SQL query which Rails uses, it returns NULL:
select pg_catalog.pg_get_serial_sequence('user_messages', 'id');
 pg_get_serial_sequence
------------------------

(1 row)

The error being raised by Rails is:
UserMessage.import [UserMessage.new]
NoMethodError: undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass
    from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.2.3/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:910:in `default_sequence_name'

This problem only occurs when I use the ActiveRecord extension for importing bulk records,  single records get saved through ActiveRecord.
How do I fix it?

A: I think your problem is that you set all this up by hand rather than by using a serial column. When you use a serial column, PostgreSQL will create the sequence, set up the appropriate default value, and ensure that the sequence is owned by the table and column in question. From the fine manual:

pg_get_serial_sequence(table_name, column_name)
  get name of the sequence that a serial or bigserial column uses

But you're not using serial or bigserial so pg_get_serial_sequence won't help.
You can remedy this by doing:
alter sequence new_user_messages_id owned by user_messages.id

I'm not sure if this is a complete solution and someone (hi Erwin) will probably fill in the missing bits.
You can save yourself some trouble here by using serial as the data type of your id column. That will create and hook up the sequence for you.
For example:
=> create sequence seq_test_id;
=> create table seq_test (id integer not null default nextval('seq_test_id'::regclass));
=> select pg_catalog.pg_get_serial_sequence('seq_test','id');
 pg_get_serial_sequence
------------------------

(1 row)
=> alter sequence seq_test_id owned by seq_test.id;
=> select pg_catalog.pg_get_serial_sequence('seq_test','id');
 pg_get_serial_sequence
------------------------
 public.seq_test_id
(1 row)


Ask any online retailer what their biggest headache is, and they'll all probably tell you the same thing: returns. It's a problem even the mighty Amazon has to deal with, but the company has come up with a smart solution by teaming up with an unexpected partner: Kohl's.
The retail chain will now be accepting Amazon returns at 82 locations across Chicago and Los Angeles. All returns can be made free of charge, and Kohl's will even pack any items that need to be shipped, meaning customers can simply drop off their returns hassle-free. Amazon customers will also have designated parking spaces right in front of the store, further speeding up the process.
"This is a great example of how Kohl's and Amazon are leveraging each other's strengths—the power of Kohl's store portfolio and omnichannel capabilities combined with the power of Amazon's reach and loyal customer base," Richard Schepp, Kohl's chief administrative officer, said in a press release.
The return program is the second recently announced collaboration between Amazon and Kohl's. Earlier this month the two companies also revealed a new Amazon smart home experience that is launching at 10 select Kohl's locations in Chicago and Los Angeles, meant to show off Amazon's range of smart home devices. Both the home experience and the returns program launch in October.


Pasta with cauliflower, toasted bread crumbs, cheese and a mysterious ingredient… anchovies.
You don't think you like anchovies? Don't leave them out! They really give this simple dish a wonderful savoriness, not fishy at all. You'd be surprised how many of your favorite Italian dishes have anchovies in them.
This recipe was adapted from my Sicilian friend Julia, from Julia's Healthy Italian Cooking. She has a gift of whipping up delicious Italian meals in minutes!
For a gluten-free option, use brown rice pasta for 8 points plus.
Boil pasta in salted water according to directions for al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup water.
Meanwhile, steam cauliflower (or boil) until tender. Set aside.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to a small frying pan and toast breadcrumbs, careful not to burn. Set aside.
In a large frying pan sauté anchovies in remaining tablespoon of olive oil until they begin to dissolve.
Add onions and cook on medium heat until golden.
Toss pasta with parsley, cheese, cauliflower, 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water, (more if needed) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide evenly between 6 plates.
Top with toasted bread crumbs and serve.
Just made this and I think it was pretty good. I used roasted cauliflower instead of steaming it, and I thought the cauliflower was more flavorful this way. I felt the pasta was a little dry even after doubling the pasta water. I would definitely try this again with the suggestions of adding garlic and red pepper flakes.
Gina, couldn't wait for the reply so I made this dish last night..It was very delicious..wasn't fishy at all, you could barely feel the taste of the anchovies..Couldn't find the Pecorino Romano so used Parmesan cheese instead. I have also reduced the quantity of the pasta a bit. It was really great..Definitely a Keeper! This is officially my favorite healthy food blog..Keep up the great work..
Gina, I couldn't find Pecorino Romano, any suggestions as a substitute?
I made this tonight for my family. I was skeptical about the anchovies but it was delicious and my 10 month old gobbled it up! I found the anchovies did leave a little fishy taste but it wasn't strong. I love the idea of using garlic instead and maybe just a dash of anchovy paste! Thanks again Gina, you are helping me make a little foodie of my baby girl!
Oh wow, my Sicilian grandpa used to make a similar dish, just used broccoli instead of cauliflower, it's soooo yumm. I never thought that I would find a similar recipe on such a traditional (and rural) Sicilian dish.
For those who don't like anchovies, you can use garlic instead. it gives the pasta a really nice flavour. When you toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet, add finely chopped garlic and mix well. continue as shown in recipe.
My mother in law makes this dish and she cooks the cauliflower first,sets it aside and uses that water to cook the pasta.
If I use anchovy paste how much would be equivalent to 5 anchovies?
Would making it without the anchovies (I just can't bring myself to eat them), change the points value?
Made this for the first time last night. I added 3 cloves of chopped garlic and a good dose of red crushed pepper flakes at the same time I put the onions in (and skipped adding any salt and pepper at the end). SO good.
I made this yesterday and it has a really great taste to it!! sooooo good. I think next time I will be putting big chunks of garlic in it, I felt like that was the only thing really missing….but this is a goodie!!!
Whole anchovies are so much better than the paste. I find the paste to be bland. Try it with whole next time, and use all 5.
I made this dish yesterday. I found it to be a bit bland. I used anchovy paste…maybe not enough. I will try it again using the amount you suggested (2-3inches) above. FYI, for those that are afraid of anchovies, I don't like them on their own either, but they definitely add much taste to recipes.
So good! I made it tonight and am having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Comes in a small glass jar, check the supermarket. They also sell anchovy paste which comes in a tube you squeeze out. That would work too.
I've never bought, eaten, or cooked with anchovies before. I'm up for trying this dish but I don't know where to purchase anchovies. Can I find them in a supermarket? Are they canned? I have no idea.
Delicious. I roasted my cauliflower and added some red pepper flakes just to spice it up. A definite repeater in our house!
I think gluten-free pasta is more points, but I don't think it's any healthier than wheat pasta, just better for those who can't eat gluten.
Just out of curiousity, why would gluten-free be more WW PointsPlus? Aren't gluten-free products less processed and healthier for you?
In my traditional family version of this dish, small chunks of romano are sauteed with the breadcrumb topping. Th e same breadcrumb mixture is used to stuff artichokes…….
this was delicious.. I made it like the recipe says above for me and for my skinny minny hubby I added some sweet italian sausage. He loved it as well.
Brandi, I don't think it effects the points per serving.
I'm going to make this tonight and was wondering if the Bread Crumbs have to be whole wheat (couldn't find that kind in the store)… If not, will it mess with the points plus at all?
Last night was the second time making. It is quick to make under 30 minutes and delicious. My daughter loves the white broccoli.
I think you have to like cauliflower to enjoy this. I love it!!
Hi Ginny, guess what, tomorrow night it is this menu. I love ur site. This is just what i needed. All ur receipes look so good. Keep um coming.
Could u imagine, not having to hurt your head about what to cook for breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner. I love it.
I made this tonight and it wasn't one of my favorite dishes. I don't think the recipe was lacking anything. I just think it wasn't my type of meal.
I'm going to try this one tonight! I love cauliflower but struggle with various ways to incorporate into my recipes!
Third recipe from this site this week and it was another hit!!! So tasty. I was scared of the anchovies but the flavors were amazing. YUMMMMMM!!!
So so good! my husband added some chicken for protein and it was wonderful!
We made this and it came out really bland, I'm not sure what we did wrong.
2-3 inches should do it.
If you are using Anchovy paste instead how much do you use?
I promise!!! Break them up small while they cook.
Just made this tonight, I used anchovy paste and I roasted the cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious.
Michelle, I bet garlic and red pepper flakes would be delicious! And yes!! Good cheese is a must!! The kind from the can is not an option.
Just made this recipe- so good and filling!! Thank you for sharing.
I lived in Sicily for 3 years, and this is one of my favorite recipes that I learned while there. The anchovies truly make the dish! Sicilians use broccoli and cauliflower interchangeably, so cauliflower haters have another option. For more flavor, try adding some minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Also, make sure to use a high quality cheese. No powdered junk out of a can! I like to use a mix of Pecorino and Parmigiano cheeses.
This just looks devine! I love cauliflower, not a huge fan of anchovies, but I know what you mean about it adding the savory factor. I will have to give this one a try!
if you dont use the anchovies does it lower the points+?
I love pasta with cauliflower! This looks like a particularly tasty version.
It looks delicous can't wait to try it!!
Great recipe! I am a huge fan of cauliflower, so I will have to make this soon!
You can use anchovy paste if you prefer, roasted cauliflower would be delicious!
That looks so good! I LOVE cauliflower!
This sounds delicious! I might try it with roasted instead of steamed cauliflower.
I love cauliflower but don't eat it that often! I should defiantly try this out!
This looks delish! I love your recipes. Will you please just come live at my house and cook for us every day?
This sounds great. Would anchovie paste work instead of whole anchovies?
I have an irrational dislike of cauliflower (I can't get past the idea that I think it tastes like mold) but I really like the simplicity of this pasta topping.
Could you suggest an alternative vegetable? Or is it better left alone?
You could use broccoli or zuchini. I love raw cauliflower but hate it cooked so this is the alternatives I would try.
I had to cut back on the olive oil to keep the points down, but this is really a lovely dish.
I made a very similar dish a few weeks ago. We all loved it. My daughter fought us for the left overs. I like your idea to use whole wheat spaghetti. I will try it next time.

Al-Jamia Mosque on West 8th Avenue to hold a prayer vigil this evening to show solidarity with New Zealand.
Vancouverites are reacting with shock and sadness to the New Zealand mosque shootings.
Munir Ahmad said the tragic events were front of mind in his morning prayers at Al Masjid Al-Jamia on West 8th Avenue.
"I prayed for the families and the Muslim community and New Zealand as well, and even for those related to the attackers," he said.
Outside the mosque, Bette Thomson came to lay flowers.
"I'm from New Zealand," she said through tears. "This just shouldn't happen."
The Al-Jamia Mosque will hold a prayer vigil to show solidarity with those in New Zealand at 7:30 p.m. PT Friday.
At the B.C. Muslim Association on Kingsway, a man entering the office also expressed sadness about those killed and injured in the attack.
"It shouldn't happen anywhere," he said, asking not to be identified.
Forty-nine people were killed and another 48 injured in shootings at two mosques filled with worshippers during Friday prayers in Christchurch.
A man claiming to be the gunman reportedly livestreamed the shooting on his now-deleted Twitter account.
He also allegedly posted an anti-immigrant manifesto and photos of ammunition cartridges with the names of extremists written in white paint, including Alexandre Bissonnette, the Canadian who killed six people in a Quebec City mosque two years ago.
The Vancouver Police Department says it is not taking any extra precautions at this time, but that it will remain in close communication with local Muslim leaders to ensure the community feels safe and supported.
"We have security experts that are in regular communication with other local, national and international agencies to share information and strategies," said VPD spokesperson Const. Jason Doucette.
Ahmad said he was not feeling nervous about his own safety in light of the New Zealand attack.
"I feel those types of incidents, it takes a lot of hatred to do that and I don't think that's part of our community, in Canada especially."
The Islamic Society of British Columbia condemned the attack as despicable and cowardly, and called for "absolute justice in prosecuting these heinous terrorist criminals."
"For this to happen in a house of worship is especially appalling. We have seen too many instances of vicious attacks in mosques, synagogues, temples, churches and other houses of worship, and it is time to say, "No More!," reads the statement.
Speaking in Kelowna, Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale said Canada's threat level remained unchanged.
"Canada stands with Muslim communities here at home, in New Zealand and across the world. Hatred, violence and right-wing extremism have no place in any society," he tweeted.

A watershed moment for Queens
Ferry service has the borough rocking
Tom Grech
Since launching two years ago, the city's new ferry network has far exceeded expectations and has been a game changer for our city. NYC Ferry has transformed the lives of more than 8.5 million riders by significantly shortening the amount of time it takes them to commute to work, go to school or enjoy our culturally rich and diverse neighborhoods. For local businesses and institutions here in Queens, the ferries have been a breath of fresh air.
Many of our waterfront neighborhoods have historically been transit deserts where we must drive to a bus or a train, take two buses to connect with a train or sit in horrible gridlock. What the ferry has done in two years is nothing short of remarkable.
For starters, the Rockaways are rocking like never before, especially over the summer with many New Yorkers enjoying some surf and turf. On peak summer weekends we see as many as 10,000 day-trippers exploring our beachfront neighborhoods, restaurants and institutions and pumping valuable dollars into our communities. And as word of mouth spreads, we expect more New Yorkers and friends of New Yorkers to come out and explore what we like to call our borough's hidden gems. Here's the best part: the trip from Lower Manhattan to the Rockaways is less than an hour.
At the other end of Queens in Astoria, several institutions such as the Noguchi Museum have seen their annual attendance nearly double during the ferry's young life. Its proximity to the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, now just a 10-minute NYC Ferry ride away, provides an invaluable educational tool and resource for our residents nearly on our front door.
In Long Island City, New Yorkers are playing in our parks, enjoying a bite to eat and enjoying the resiliency of what a ferry service brings. If the 7 train isn't running on weekends or an event that wreaks havoc on our infrastructure (as did Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and a blackout in 2003), ferries allow our communities to conduct business as usual or close to it.
Many chamber of commerce members are also reaping the benefits when it comes to job creation and new entrepreneurial opportunities. Firms such as Boyce Technologies in Long Island City, Prime Storage in Astoria and the Bungalow Bar in Far Rockaway are all growing and participating in this transportation renaissance.
Yes, the ferry service's startup and operating costs appear high on the surface. But when you look at the bigger picture, Queens and other transit deserts across the city were delivered a brand new mode of transportation in just under 14 months and for millions of dollars instead of billions. That pales in comparison to other public transportation projects in the city that cost billions and take decades to bring to fruition.
Our city is hungry for public transit, and we've seen firsthand that ferries are the great equalizer. They shorten commutes, open up our neighborhoods, free up seats on our beleaguered subways and buses and support local businesses. Our borough has been riding the wave. We should nurture this new system and grow it into one that serves even more waterfront communities in the years to come.
Thomas Grech is president and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce.

Alfred Yekatom makes first appearance before the ICC
Press Release: 23 November 2018
ICC-CPI-20181123–PR1419

On 23 November 2018, Alfred Yekatom appeared before Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or "Court"), at the seat of the ICC in The Hague (The Netherlands).
Pre-Trial Chamber II is composed of Judge Antoine Kesia‐Mbe Mindua, Presiding, Judge Tomoko Akane and Judge Rosario Salvatore Aitala. The hearing was held in the presence of the Prosecutor and the Defence. Mr Yekatom was represented by the Office of Public Counsel for the Defence.
The Chamber verified the identity of the suspect, and ensured that he was clearly informed of the crimes he is alleged to have committed and of his rights under the Rome Statute of the ICC in a language he fully understands and speaks, in this case, Sango. The opening of the confirmation of charges hearing was scheduled for 30 April 2019.
The purpose of the confirmation of charges hearing is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to establish substantial grounds to believe that the person committed each of the crimes charged. If the charges are confirmed, totally or partly, the case will be transferred to a Trial Chamber, which will conduct the subsequent phase of the proceedings: the trial.
Background: Mr Yekatom was surrendered to the ICC on 17 November 2018 following a warrant of arrest issued on 11 November 2018 for his alleged criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in western Central African Republic ("CAR") between December 2013 and August 2014.
Pre-Trial Chamber II was satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that an armed conflict not of an international character was ongoing on the territory of the CAR since at least September 2013 until at least December 2014 between the Seleka – a coalition of armed groups predominantly composed of Muslims – and the Anti-Balaka – a predominantly Christian countermovement to the Seleka. The Chamber also found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, from at least September 2013 until at least December 2014, a widespread and systematic attack was carried out by the Anti-Balaka against the Muslim civilian population and anyone perceived to support the Seleka.
Mr Yekatom was allegedly commanding a group of around 3,000 members which operated within the Anti-Balaka movement. He is alleged to be responsible for crimes committed in this context in various locations in the CAR, including Bangui and the Lobaye Prefecture, between 5 December 2013 and August 2014, as follows:
crimes against humanity: murder, deportation or forcible transfer of population, imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty, torture, persecution, enforced disappearance and other inhumane acts; and
war crimes: murder, torture and cruel treatment, mutilation, intentional attack against the civilian population, intentional attack against buildings dedicated to religion, enlistment of children under the age of 15 years and their use to participate actively in hostilities, displacement of the civilian population and destruction of the adversary's property.
Pre-Trial Chamber II found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Yekatom committed or otherwise ordered, solicited, induced and facilitated the commission of the above mentioned crimes. The Chamber also found reasonable grounds to believe that he is responsible as a military commander.

It's officially the first weekend of summer, and we're here to help you with your binge-watching plans, in case you're the kind of person that prefers air conditioning to the heat.
From rom-com "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" to indie hit "Tangerine," these are some awesome movies on Netflix that you can watch over the weekend.
Netflix description: Two strangers meet on a train and form a bond that evolves over the years. After a separation, they reconnect and reflect on their love for each other.
This love story spans over a decade, and captures the evolution of a romantic relationship perfectly but in a unique, whimsical way.
Netflix description: When a deal with the devil comes due, the immortal Doctor Parnassus must renegotiate the pact to save his daughter and right the wrongs of his past.
This was Heath Ledger's last film. It also stars Andrew Garfield (before he was famous), Christopher Plummer, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, and Tom Waits. Imaginative but a bit messy narratively, this dark Terry Gilliam film perfectly represents his aesthetic, and is very reminiscent of his earlier work.
Netflix description: Years after high school, a once-portly nice guy comes home for the holidays and reunites with a former crush he still has feelings for.
This slapstick comedy starring Ryan Reynolds turned him into the star he is because he carries the movie. It's slightly stupid, but just good enough that it's worth revisiting if you haven't seen it in a while.
Netflix description: Fresh out of a stint in jail, transgender prostitute Sin-Dee and her pal Alexandra hit the crazy streets of LA to get revenge on her fickle pimp.
Celebrate pride month with "Tangerine," an energetic film about a transgender woman, which was shot on iPhones. It's funny, but also shines an important light on an underrepresented community in entertainment.
Netflix description: A player bets his co-workers he can make a woman fall in love with him in just 10 days. But he bets on the wrong girl — a writer with her own agenda.
This movie isn't great, but it was made to watch on a lazy weekend since it has a plot you can predict, Matthew McConaughey before he won an Oscar, and a female protagonist who works at a women's magazine.
Netflix description: After being shipwrecked off the African coast, a lone child grows up in the wild, and is destined to become lord of the jungle.
"Tarzan" is one of the most underrated Disney animated films. The 2D animation plays with shadows and incredibly detailed settings unlike any other that came before it. Also, every single Phil Collins song on the soundtrack is good.
Netflix description: When a young wife is robbed before boarding a train to Boston, she meets a free-spirited musician who stays with her on the adventure of a lifetime.
Before Captain America got his fugitive beard and a massive upper body, Chris Evans had a beard and a less massive upper body in this 2015 romantic indie, which he directed. The movie isn't perfect, but it's a charming, thoughtful, and pretty accurate depiction of a random night in New York City.

Thursday roundup: Flappy Bert takes to the air, WAMU host skis to work
By Current Staff | February 13, 2014

• Less than a week after the maker of the wildly popular mobile game Flappy Bird announced he would pull the plug on his creation, Sesame Workshop has introduced the browser game Flappy Bert. The gameplay, where players control a bird as it navigates Sesame Street's Bert among obstacles, draws heavily on the original. It's one of several Flappy Bird clones on the market but the only one starring Bert in an 8-bit sheen.
• Today marks the premiere of a series of web video specials co-produced by PBS NewsHour and Al-Monitor, a news site featuring reporting and analysis by journalists and experts from the Middle East. The first, posting at 7 p.m. Eastern time, focuses on Syria. The 15-18 minute videos will be hosted by NewsHour Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Margaret Warner. After streaming, each episode will be posted on the PBS NewsHour and Al-Monitor websites as well as YouTube, Facebook and Roku.
• It snowed enough in Washington, D.C., to shut down the federal government, but it didn't stop various WAMU-FM staffers from making it into the office. Local Morning Edition host Matt McClesky strapped on the skis for his commute, reports Poynter.
• PBS has received up to 2,750 calls and PBS Ombudsman Michael Getler's office got 80 emails and calls regarding the inclusion of edgy comedian Sarah Silverman in the Makers: Women Who Made America series, according to Getler. The PBS/AOL online series and documentaries from filmmaker Dyllan McGee honor women who have shaped the country in various fields including politics, the arts, science and education.

Drunk man made young nephew drive car
by Law Offices of John Patrick Ryan | Nov 2, 2017 | Misdemeanors
A California man who was too drunk to drive was arrested on Oct. 22 for allegedly making his pre-teen nephew get behind the wheel of his car. The incident occurred in Port Hueneme at approximately 2:45 p.m.
According to authorities, a patrol officer observed a car that appeared to be driven by a child heading north on Surfside Drive. The driver turned right on Hueneme Road and committed multiple traffic violations. The officer initiated a traffic stop and found an 11-year-old boy operating the vehicle. The defendant, age 29, was slouched in the front passenger seat with an open container of alcohol. The officer said that he appeared to be intoxicated.
Police discovered that the defendant, a resident of Oxnard, was the boy's uncle. When questioned, he eventually admitted that he made his nephew drive to avoid being arrested for drunk driving. When he exited the vehicle, police spotted what appeared to be a gun near the front seat. They also discovered that he had an open warrant for driving without a license. He was arrested and charged with felony child endangerment and having an open container of alcohol in the car. He was transported to Ventura County Main Jail. The boy was released into the custody of his mother. According to media reports, the defendant was also arrested for drunk driving in May.
Individuals charged with serious traffic violations can face jail time and heavy fines. However, with an attorney's help, it may be possible to fight the allegations and avoid harsh penalties. For example, legal counsel could find evidence that undermines the prosecution's case, which could cause the case to be dismissed. In other circumstances, an attorney may negotiate a plea deal that reduces the charges.
