We sometimes encounter things—moments, vistas, sounds, ideas—that wholly disarm us. Things that slide so neatly between our hope for the world and our experience of the world that our rational mind is sheared momentarily from the engine of our dreams, that part of us that fuels and crafts desires, longings, hopes, and wishes. We sometimes encounter things that divorce us from the corrupting coolness of reason and leave us in a state, however temporary, of unblemished joy. These things are treasures. These things give us a glimpse of What May Have Been and sometimes even What Could Someday Be. These things are rare and wonderful.
And sometimes these things are books.
Yotsuba&! is one of these sources of magic for me. And, I suspect, for a great number of others as well. Kiyohiko Azuma's series is an unexpected pleasure. Even if one approaches the work with the knowledge that Yotsuba&! bubbles forth as a fountain of joyfulness, this little girl's nature and adventures will still surprise in how purely they deliver one into this momentary Other Place.
Plainly put, Yotsuba&! is one of my favorite reading experiences of all time and the only one to so wholly transport me into a world of smiles and laughter.
Azuma's story concerns a strange young girl—a five-year-old with green hair and pigtails—and the way she interacts with the world about her. (Her name, Yotsuba, means four-leaf and refers conveniently enough to the way she wears her green hair in four distinct pigtails.) While there is always some exploration of the outside world, the book primarily revolves around Yotsuba's interactions with her father, Koiwai, and her next-door neighbours and their three daughters.
Plot descriptions, of course, cannot remotely approach conveying any sense of why these stories are such a joy. Really, they have to be experienced firsthand to fully apprehend their power to carve out so magical a world, but here: let me at least try.
Yotsuba's sense of wonder in the way she approaches an environment with which she apparently has had no experience is astonishing in its guilelessness. Yotsuba brims with enthusiasm and the pleasure with which she takes on each new experience leaves us breathless as that enthusiasm spreads. Her father is consistently amused by her naïveté and her neighbours are never certain what exactly to make of her. And yet, she really does inspire affection in everyone she encounters.
Again, my descriptions can only serve as a diminishment to what pleasures are actually found in the book. I am entirely out of my depth to sound out Yotsuba&!'s charms, but perhaps we should just leave it at this: whenever a new volume arrives in the mail, I curl up comfortably with my wife, finding the best lighting possible under such snuggly conditions, and I read each chapter to her aloud, trying to muster in my own voice the clear enthusiasm in Yotsuba's own.
And then we both smile a lot.
It should be noted that there are two English translations available. ADV Manga held the license for Yotsuba&! for a number of years but as the manga bubble burst due to over saturation and ADV experienced its own problems that from the outside simply looked like poor business management, the company let slip the license to publish the book in America. Yen Press thankfully picked it up and has been publishing ever since, both taking on the new volumes and republishing their own translations of the previously released volumes.
While I am very thankful that due to Yen Press' work, Yotsuba&! is still available to readers today, I really did prefer ADV's translation. While I don't speak or read Japanese, it looks like Yen Press' translation is probably more faithful to the original language, retaining honorifics such and -san and -chan. That's good and I applaud their fidelity, but as a reader, ADV's work just flows better and breathes more life into Yotsuba and her supporting cast. While the books are still greatly enjoyable, whenever I read the books out loud, I find myself translating from Yen Press' English into ADV's on the fly. It's tiring, but it makes for an altogether better experience for readers/listeners.

Q: How to find min in mongodb for a nested object? db.getCollection('mapinfo').find().min({"bounds.south":0})

When I use the above code to access south in bounds object It errors out to 'BadValue'. Is it possible to access the nested object in min method. But in find method it works well!

A: According to this blog post, min might not work the way you expect it to:

In MongoDB, the min() and max() functions work as limitors - essentially the same as "gte" (>=) and "lt" (<).

Taking the example from the article, you should be able to use the following instead:
db.getCollection('mapinfo').find().sort({"bounds.south":1}).limit(1)

This orders the collection so that the minimum value appears first and returns only that first value.

Night shift work may also interfere with the body's ability to repair DNA damage that occurs from normal cellular processes. The suppression of melatonin — which is the hormone responsible for regulating the internal body clock — may play a role.
Individuals need to work through the night for numerous reasons. Finding ways to cope can be the difference between living a healthy existence and being subjected to the many health and safety risks that are elevated during night shifts. Here are Medical News Today's coping strategies for working after dark.
Adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep to function at their best. If you sleep for under that amount, you will incur "sleep debt." The only way to pay back sleep debt is to catch up on sleep you have missed, and this has to occur as soon as possible after it is incurred.
Artificial light can affect your circadian pacemaker in the same way as sunlight, and timed exposure to bright light can help to alter your body's sleep cycle.
During night shifts, you can try to "trick" your body into an alert state with exposure to bright light, and promote sleep by suppressing light exposure after your shift.

Litigation Update: Univar Takes on Delaware
Posted By Administration, Thursday, January 24, 2019
Univar Inc. v. Geisenberger, et al.
On Dec. 3, 2018, Univar Inc. filed a lawsuit against Delaware Department of Finance officials, alleging that several aspects of an unclaimed property audit initiated by third-party auditor Kelmar in 2015 on Delaware's behalf are unconstitutional. Among the issues at play in the Univar case are:
Delaware's retroactive application of amendments to the Delaware Abandoned and Unclaimed Property Law (DUPL), amended on Feb. 2, 2017.
The state's estimation methodology.
The state's use of a third-party auditor that simultaneously represents other states in a multi-state audit.
The state's contingent-fee arrangement with its third-party auditor.
On Dec. 11, 2015, Delaware notified Univar it would be subject to an unclaimed property examination, conducted by Kelmar. Upon receiving document requests from Kelmar, Univar objected, citing confidentiality concerns, Kelmar's self-interest, the estimation process and other aspects of the audit. According to Univar's complaint, Delaware rejected or ignored the objections and continued to do so for more than two years. On Oct. 30, 2018, the state issued a subpoena for the records Kelmar had previously requested.
The Univar case includes several issues that have been part of other recent cases, including Temple-Inland v. Cook, Plains All American v. Cook and Marathon Petroleum v. Cook. However, unlike those lawsuits, the Univarcase was filed after the February 2017 DUPL amendments and, thus, questions the state's ability to retroactively apply those amendments to audits that were initiated earlier.
"The subpoena power that Delaware is relying on to force production of records from Univar was not effective until February 2017," said Jameel Turner, one of the attorneys with Bailey Cavalieri who is representing Univar in this case. "The February 2017 amendments also created a 10-year record retention requirement for unclaimed property records. Prior to that time there was no record retention requirement. Delaware is using estimation for holders that did not comply with a record retention requirement that did not exist until February of 2017. So, they are using estimation when holders do not have records for periods when the law did not require records to be kept. It simply does not make sense."
Univar also picks up the challenge to Delaware's estimation methodology where Temple-Inland left off. The Temple-Inland court ruled that the state's estimation methodology was unconstitutional. Univar argues that Delaware merely added a 10-year look-back period but otherwise continues to rely on estimation practices already declared invalid.
Delaware and Kelmar also allegedly responded to Temple-Inland by rescinding its requests to holders for prior unclaimed property filings for all states because the court took issue with the practice. However, after the case was settled, these requests were reinstated and the state incorporated the right to request such prior filings into the 2017 DUPL amendments.
"Delaware and Kelmar use prior unclaimed property filings for states not participating in the audit to increase the potential liability due and payable to Delaware," Turner said. "Univar is asking a judge to confirm that the way they are using those prior filings is unconstitutional and that prior filings in nonparticipating states are not relevant to whether a holder has liability due and payable to any participating state."
One of the issues in the Univar case that was also a factor in other recent litigation is the concept of ripeness. The Plains All American case also questioned Delaware's use of estimation. The court said Plains may have valid complaints, but because the state had not yet formally taken steps to request records or force Plains to comply with the audit, the case was not yet ripe.
"One of the reasons the Plains All American case was dismissed was because Delaware had not made a formal demand for compliance with the audit request," Turner said. "Univar has been served with a subpoena, so Delaware has taken steps to formally compel Univar to provide records. That's a significant factor that distinguishes Univar's situation from that of Plains All American."
Ultimately, a decision in the Univar case may provide clarity for unclaimed property holders regarding the state's audit and estimation practices.
UPPO will continue to monitor and report on the progress of the Univarcase as noteworthy developments occur.

Litigation update: Plains All American appeal keeps estimation case alive
One of the more interesting recent unclaimed property cases in recent years is Plains All American Pipeline L.P. v. Thomas Cook et al. In August 2016, the case was dismissed, but Plains has appealed the decision, sending the case to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
A limited partnership incorporated in Delaware, Plains All American Pipeline, received notification in 2014 that Kelmar would be conducting an audit of the company on behalf of Delaware. Plains objected to the initial information request, claiming, in part, that the company was being audited not because of any suspicion of wrongdoing, but rather because of its profitability. When Delaware dismissed the company's objections, Plains filed suit.
Among the complaint's allegations, Plains argues that Kelmar's request for information about subsidiaries organized outside of Delaware constitutes illegal search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment. The company argued that the state and its agent have no right to that information and, if they did, they would need to have reasonable grounds to search for it. The complaint also directly challenged Delaware's right to use estimation.
On Aug. 16, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware granted the defendants' motion to dismiss. In part, the court said the plaintiffs brought their suit based on potential threats and not actual threats. For example, Plains challenged the state's right to use estimation before it had done so, as the lawsuit was brought immediately following Kelmar's initial information request. Regarding the Fourth Amendment claim, the court said the state's decision to examine businesses based on their profitability was legitimate, as those companies are logically more likely than others to hold large amounts of unclaimed property.
"Plains was worried about going through this long audit and then getting an estimated liability," says Diane Green-Kelly, partner with Reed Smith LLP. "They didn't think estimation was appropriate. The way the court read the complaint was that Plains was unhappy about how the audit might unfold and what the assessment might be. The court said you can't complain about something that might happen. You have to wait until you've suffered an injury. The court didn't consider the case 'ripe.'"
As with any case a court dismisses with prejudice, parties involved in the case may appeal the decision. Plains All American did just that on Sept. 16, 2016, sending the case to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
The appealed Plains case is developing at a time when Delaware's unclaimed property practices face several significant challenges. These challenges may affect how the appeals court views the case.
"It's hard to know what the Third Circuit will do, especially in light of other things," Green-Kelly says. "You can't look at the Plains case in a vacuum. The court will see that 21 states are suing Delaware for overreaching its unclaimed property authority. Temple-Inland won because of overreaching and ignoring federal law. Marathon and Office Depot sued Delaware. Everyone is suing Delaware. The Third Circuit will see this case in the context of a lot of things happening out there challenging Delaware's conduct. So, the court could decide this case actually was ripe in light of the context in which it was filed."
Another case, Delaware Department of Finance v. Blackhawk Engagement Solutions, could also influence the outcome of Plains. In 2015, Delaware's escheator issued a subpoena to Blackhawk requesting documents related to an audit that had been in progress for several years. Blackhawk refused. Delaware filed an action in court to enforce the subpoena, and Blackhawk resisted, claiming the escheator was not authorized to take these actions, among other things. The state filed a motion for judgment on the pleading, at which point Plains All American and Marathon filed a joint amicus brief.
The brief cites several areas of the Delaware Code where state agencies are authorized to conduct examinations to determine with a set of laws and expressly authorized to issue a summons for testimony and a subpoena for documents. The unclaimed property statute authorizes the escheator to issue a summons for testimony, but not a subpoena for documents. The amicus brief points out that the code actually included such authorization until it was repealed and revised in 1990.
"If the Blackhawk court says the escheator has the authority to issue a subpoena and enforce it, Plains sort of goes away," says Green-Kelly. "If the escheator actually has subpoena power and can enforce it in court, the resisting company can claim it doesn't have authority to so and let the court decide. It happens during the audit, so the court can stop it while it's happening. Because the statute lacks the authority to issue a subpoena, right now there's no way to stop it other than to file the type of lawsuit Plains filed."
Impact on Holders
In light of the important issues at play in Plains and other current cases, Green-Kelly offers some advice for holders undergoing an audit or considering entering into a voluntary disclosure agreement (VDA).
"If you're a company already under audit and close to the end, you shouldn't just accept a result that is not supported by documents or anything that is close to an estimate like Temple-Inland," she says. "If you're not under audit and are thinking about a VDA, don't do anything. See what happens with these cases. Under the new audit program, it might be better to be audited than to go through a VDA. Wait and see what the audit program is going to be. I can't imagine telling any company to go into the VDA program right now unless they get the letter and have to make a decision."

Want to learn how to make Carne Asada? Keep reading for an easy, homemade carne asada recipe!
The basic premise of Carne Asada (which translates into grilled meat) is to marinate it in a salty, citrusy and abundantly flavorful marinade, and sear it quickly at a high heat. Marinate the meat, slice it into thin strips, and pile high onto a tortilla.
I have to warn you… if you like bland food, this recipe is not for you.
The meat is tender, and the marinade is a combination of Mexican beer, bright limes and oranges. This gets finished with fresh cilantro and a hint of spice (because it is Mexican food, after all). The quick sear on the outside really traps all of the moisture and flavor in the meat. The intense explosion of flavor will leave you happy and satisfied.
Carne Asada isn't difficult to make, but it does require marinading the meat in advance. You'll start by adding cilantro leaves, a jalapeno, and garlic cloves into a food processor. Pulse it a few times, then add in beer, lime and orange juice plus zest, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend well, then pour over steak.
It marinates for 4 – 24 hours, then you simply grill it (about 4 minutes per side) until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
Slice it into thin strips, and pile into a corn or flour tortilla.
I personally like to pile my carne asada on to fresh corn tortillas, topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes and homemade salsa. The meat is so good, you could also add it to a four tortilla and eat it like a burrito, or just pile it on top of rice or quinoa, and call it amazing.
Want to print this recipe to keep in your recipe box, or to share with a friend? Here is a printable recipe for you!
In a food processor, pulse cilantro, jalapeno and garlic until coarsely chopped. Add in remaining ingredients, except the meat, and process until smooth.
Place steak into a glass or plastic container, and pour marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
Warm grill pan over medium-high (my grill pan is similar to this, but you can use a regular pan if you don't have one). Place steak onto hot grill or pan, and allow to brown on the bottom undisturbed, about 4 minutes. Flip and sear another 2-4 minutes on the other side, or until internal temperature has reached 140 degrees. Depending on the thickness of your cut, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the beef, against the grain.

The tuition fee of Chinese universities and schools are varied from different universities and majors. The average tuition fee ranges from 1500 USD to 4000 USD per year.
The living cost would be between 200-400USD per month (include rent, food, transport, bills etc).
Living cost in China varied from different cities and provinces. If you live in most of the cities in China, Your living cost would be around 200-400USD per month (include rent, food, transport, bills etc). But if you live in Metropolitan areas like Beijing and Shanghai, you may need more. However this mainly depends on your lifestyle.
Chinese government requires international students who wish to study in China for more than 6 months to pass the medical examination. You are asked to present your medical examination results when applying for a Chinese student visa. Consult your local Chinese Embassy/Consulate for more information.

I am so overwhelmingly proud of Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor for winning their third Olympic gold medal in beach volleyball. Having the opportunity to spend the past 10 days with Kerri's family and loved ones before, during and after her matches gave me a rare glimpse into the anxiety, the nervousness, the love and the jubilation of a gold medal. Any person that has ever known/met Kerri can attest, her honest, kind and humble nature instantly makes you deeply invested in the outcome of her matches. Again, thank you Kerri for allowing me to share this Olympics with you. Love, Lida.

Parents feel the pressure to succeed on their own, but on top of that, they're also responsible to ensure their children succeed too. The pressure to raise successful children is higher than ever. Do kids feel more pressure to be successful today?
I think children today are feeling extreme pressure to succeed, and their parents, peers and society all play a role. Parents obviously want the best for their children, but they will go out of their way to ensure their kids receive the best education. Look at the recent college admissions scandal where 33 parents, including actors Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, "paid enormous sums" in a cheating scheme that rigged admissions to elite universities such as Stanford and Yale.
Some parents will go into debt to send their kids to private school with the hopes that their education will ensure entrance into a top university. For some, using their wealth and social status to help their child get accepted into a good school means breaking the rules.
For those not so financially fortunate, and with perhaps a cleaner conscious, parents will encourage their children to be involved in at least one competitive sport, throwing money into training with the hopes that their child will receive a scholarship. Let's not forget the academic pressure; kids are feeling the pressure to perform well in school, not settling for anything less than an A.
Kids are pressured from all sides – home, school, friends, extra-curricular activities, as well as the pressure of their impending future and career decisions. All of that pressure and being pulled in many directions can leave kids feeling anxious, inadequate, under-confident. In fact, high expectations can lead to anxiety and depression, which can also increase the risk of developing an addiction.
Let's face it – we live in a culture that equates success with money, social standing and fame. We live in a celebrity culture where musicians, actors and athletes are put on a pedestal.
Social media has raised the bar even further. Before social media, we looked up to celebrities on television, movies and magazines; but social media has made our connection to celebrities much more personal, and constant; we can follow our favourites 24/7. Not only do we have celebrities who are known for their movies, music or sport, we also now have unknowns rising to fame thanks to social media; YouTubers making millions of dollars, and Instagram influencers with millions of followers and brand ambassador deals. That celebrity status seems attainable to anyone who can create an account and gain "influence".
Teens are seeking validation on their social media channels, putting too much value on the number of likes they receive and how many friends/followers they have.
On the flip side, while some teens are unmotivated and lack ambition, there are some children who are highly driven and thrive with a busy schedule. For example, I'm encouraging my son to quit rep hockey to play house league and focus more on his studies next school year. But he wants to stay involved in various sports than quit playing completely. He says he's willing to sacrifice free time to play video games or hang out with friends, to instead juggle homework and hockey. I agreed that he should do what he enjoys, as long as his grades don't suffer.
If a child can manage the pressures, fine; but when there are any signs your child is feeling stress, anxiety, and/or depression, it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate.
Every parent's wish is for their children to be healthy, happy, and have a successful life. But we need to re-examine society's misconceptions around wealth and merit. I'm trying to teach my kids that success isn't measured by the amount of money you have, fame, or popularity; instead, it's about living your best life doing what you love and pursuing your passions. It's about spending time with friends and family, helping others, and making a difference in their lives. Most importantly, it's about being happy with the person you've become.
I'd like to see my children grow up to be good, respectful human beings, who are kind and empathetic towards others, and care about other people and society.

Announcing the Aperta Project's Toronto Tech Study
"To make something good of the future, you have to look the present in the face."
I'm so proud to announce the launch of The Aperta Project, and its first collaborative initiative: The Toronto Tech Study.
As many of you will already know, I've been focused on workplace sexual harassment for the last year and half, following the outpouring of stories that the #MeToo movement unleashed in 2017. To me, workplace harassment is not only utterly detestable, it's an example of the failing of modern management and Human Resources to close the gap between our rhetoric and reality.
The Utility of Self-Doubt
For a long-time I took self-doubt as a signal that I lacked knowledge or ability. This was particularly difficult to untangle because early in my career (and at regular intervals since) self-doubt has coincided with a lack of knowledge or ability. But untangling these two things (self-doubt and actual capability) was important, because the relationship isn't causal, and continuing to believe that it was may have prevented me from capitalizing on the value of self-doubt.
The "Genius Pass" & Other Toxic BS
I always loved the show Arrested Development. In fact, after the last US election I vowed to only comment on US politics on Facebook using gifs from the show, to avoid contributing to the vitriolic, overwhelming, and (in my opinion) futile, political debates going on in my feed (as a Canadian I'm truly just yelling into the void about this stuff). Turns out this Jason Bateman gif works for more recent events too.
This Wicked Problem
If you read this blog with any regularity, you'll know that I've been hip deep in a research project of my own making since last year, with the goal to deepen my understanding of workplace sexual harassment as a systemic problem, how HR is implicated in that system, and what we can do to influence it differently.
That project has continued to pick up steam, and I am so grateful to the many, many people who have generously shared their time and thoughts. These include HR professionals at all levels, survivors and targets of sexual harassment, leaders, lawyers, advocates, and even a couple of scientists. When I waded into this I had no idea that this would lead to the array of incredible, humbling conversations it has, and honestly, I'm just getting started…more on that in the weeks to come.
Context is Key
"He's a rockstar" "She's brilliant" "He's a good guy"
Whether we're dividing people into INTJs and ENFPs, High Ds or Cs, or placing them on a 9-box grid, we love our categories. I've been reflecting on this over the last week, sparked by a presentation delivered by Mathieu Baril of DDI at HR Leaders Summit West. Baril's presentation challenged traditional thinking on High Potential programs, suggesting that we need to broaden our definition of potential and recognize the individual bias at work when we go about identifying so-called Hi-Pos:
"We tend to underestimate the role of context in performance. Performance is less portable then we think."
Ice Storm Reading
Is it fiercely ice-storming here (yes, in mid-April), and it currently sounds like a very determined swarm of bees is hurling themselves at our windows. Our lights keep flickering. There's nothing left to say about this except that I am so, so tired of wearing my winter coat that I may burn it whenever (or if) Spring finally gets here.
In the meantime, I'm preparing for a busy week: I'm speaking at InnovateWorkTO on Monday night about the need for different thinking about workplace sexual harassment in the wake of #MeToo, then I head straight to HR Leader's Summit West in Vancouver on Tuesday to join an excellent panel about remote work, and finally head to Whistler for a site visit as we finish planning Actionable's upcoming Consulting Partner Summit.
Hence, this week's post is a round-up rather than a new blog, but it's packed with great stuff:
Systems Failure & Speak Up Culture
A good reminder that I married the right person is that he agrees to go to a talk about catastrophic failure in complex systems for date night. This week, Anthony and I heard Andras Tilcsik and Chris Clearfield give an overview of their new book: 'Meltdown: When Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It'.
It's a fascinating look at how many of the systems we encounter in our day to day lives are becoming increasingly complex and tightly coupled, making them more vulnerable to surprising meltdowns.
It's a Sign: Org Culture & Harassment
Culture. It keeps coming up in the conversations I'm having with HR professionals about sexual harassment right now. After writing about sexual harassment last year and launching a related project for 2018, I'm having a lot of these conversations at the moment.
We should talk about culture when we talk about sexual harassment (which I would like us all to be doing right now, with a new humility and curiosity), as long as we're doing so in ways that are actionable and specific. It's far too easy for 'culture' to be used as shorthand for "I don't know why, but that's the way things are here".

Chantal van den Broek-Blaak takes victory at Le Samyn de Dames with stunning solo effort
Former world champion leads a dominant performance for Boels-Dolmans who finished with four in the top ten

By Owen Rogers
Former world champion Chantal van den Broek-Blaak dominated Le Samyn des Dames on Tuesday, winning with a solo breakaway.
The Boels-Dolmans rider attacked a lead group of 14 women around 58km from the line, eventually winning with an advantage of nearly two minutes.
Behind her the peloton was shattered by the cobbles and wind, and a chase group battled for the podium places. Eventually the winner's team mate, Christine Majerus led the chase in second, with Lotte Kopecky (Lotto-Soudal), fresh from the track worlds, in third place.
Boels-Dolmans dominated the race with four of their seven starters finishing in the top ten, while the win was also van den Broek-Blaak's third victory at the event.
Last year was a tough one for the Dutch woman. Though she won early in the season, a back injury derailed the rest of her year, leaving the 2019 Omloop het Nieuwsblad as her only success. Tuesday's win came after she finished fourth at this year's Omloop, showing the 2017 world champion is back on form.
Only 95km, the undulating route between Quaregnon and Dour, in the far west of Belgium, included five sectors of cobbles, each of them ridden three times.
After leaving the start, the peloton headed towards the closing circuit, joining it two kilometres after the finish in Dour, crossing the line for the first time after 41.1km. They then tackled two full laps of the 26.9km loop.
Despite a couple of minor crashes in the opening kilometres, it was only on the first passage of the Rue du vert Pignon that any of the 149 riders began to struggle, though they re-formed after the 1400m cobbled sector.
However, with the wind blowing, before the race reached the second pavé sector the bunch split, a group of 14 women heading up the road. Boels-Dolmans had three women in that leading group, including last year's winner, Jip van den Bos.
However, the first time over the the Rue de Belle Vue, the last cobbled sector of each circuit, the Dutch squad sent former world champion, Chantal van den Broek-Blaak up the road, the Dutch woman gaining 20 seconds nearly instantly.
The 13 women chasing included two from Lotto-Soudal, and while the peloton lost ground, the varying ambitions in the chase group also allowed van den Broek-Blaak to increase her advantage to two minutes.
With mechanicals diminishing the chasers they soon began to drop back, though five women were able to avoid the clutches of what remained of the peloton. Meanwhile, as the race entered its final 30km, van den Broek-Blaak's lead was now over three minutes.
The chasing group of Ellen van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo), Aude Biannnic (Movistar), Lotte Kopecky (Lotto-Kopecky) managed to bring that deficit back, but the presence of leaders' team mates Christine Majerus and van den Bos helped maintain it at around two minutes.
With the gap static, the closing kilometres were a fascinating battle for the podium. Majerus was first to attack, forcing van Dijk to close the gap. Biannic had a go, and van Dijk another, but it came to a five way sprint won by the Luxembourg champion.

Living a Life of Love | Truth Or Tradition?
I remember when I first became a Christian. I was a sophomore in high school, and my uncle fed me book after book by many Christian authors. I learned a lot about the Bible, but it was based on what those people told me it said. Rather than reading it critically for myself, I stood on the shoulders of others. Well, when I got involved with this ministry, I was amazed and impressed by how they helped me learn how to study the Bible for myself. I felt very empowered and confident in my ability to use the research tools that were given to me.
A few years later, one of my best friends was killed while serving in the Army in Afghanistan. The loss of my dear friend Brett was tragic and very painful. As I processed through this tough time, I was reminded of how much of a blessing he was to be around and how he lived his life for Christ. I joined many of Brett's friends the night after his death to cry, tell stories, laugh, and remember our dear friend. There was story after story about how people just felt loved by Brett and that he was always joyful.
Two years later, I still remember Brett as an amazing example of a man who lived a life of love. His legacy convicts me to be more loving, more giving, and more focused on others rather than myself. I've been going back to the basics lately in my personal study time in the Word, and what could be more basic than loving God and loving others?
(38) This is the first and greatest commandment.
The man who came to Jesus asked him only for the first and greatest commandment. Why then did Jesus add the second in his answer? Because the two are inseparable, in that the only way to know the degree to which someone loves God is by how he treats people.
Along this line, I recently saw a couple of verses in 1 John that pierced my very soul. They lay out a little more clearly how the greatest commandment and the second work together.
(20) If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
(21) And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
These verses are very clear: The only way to measure one's love for God is by how he deals with people. This may come as a harsh reality to you, as it did to me. If you were to ask the common Christian if he loves God, he would probably say, "Absolutely." I know I would like to think that I always love God, but Scripture clearly says that if I do not love my brother, I do not really love God. What a tough standard to measure up to! Or is it?
Think about it. The entire Bible has an overarching theme that God has woven into its very fabric, and that is love. Sometimes I am not sure how I should show up in a particular situation, or what the will of God is therein, but I can be certain of one thing, I am always supposed to love.
So, do you really love God? Are you really loving people? Can others see the love of Christ in me? I ask you these tough questions because I am asking them of myself. For much of my Christian life, I focused on gaining as much knowledge of the written Word as possible, but what good is that knowledge if I'm not walking in love?
(1) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
(2) If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
(3) If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Do you see that? God is not as concerned with how much knowledge you have or the greatness of your faith as He is with how you love others. I'm not downplaying the importance of knowing the written Word, but I am stressing the importance of loving people in words and in deeds.
I don't want to just "say" that I love people; I want my life to be a life of love, proven by my actions. If you consider yourself a loving person, you might ask yourself: "What have I done today that is loving?" What have you done this month? I think that the famous "Golden Rule" gives every human being a benchmark to know what is love and what is not, in that we each know what feels like love to us, and we can use that as the standard for dealing with others. All of us can think back to a time we felt loved, even if it was in a very small way.
I challenge you to look closely at what it means to love people with true, biblical love. 1 Corinthians 13 is a great place to start.
(4) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
(5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
(6) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
(7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
As Christians, we are called to be witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ, and whether we like it or not, non-believers will notice the way we live our lives. Many of them base their perception of Christianity on how they see Christians acting, and, in my opinion, Christians are one of the biggest reasons why some people reject Christianity. Many who profess to follow Christ do not love the way he did. Jesus told his disciples: "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35).
Love can do amazing things. It can fix problems, mend relationships, and change hearts.
To conclude this brief overview of some of the convictions living in my heart, I ask you to love. Love not out of guilt or obligation, but with a pure heart that knows what Scripture says and is committed to changing lives. My good friend Brett lived a life of love, and people remember him for the love he showed. I want that in my life, and I'm sure you do too. May we all strive to love God, and each other, all the days of our lives. He promises that it will be worth it.


I WOULD like to set the record straight regarding claims made by Brigadier Morgan Govender regarding the CPF [Community Policing Forum] in the article which was published in the TOT on May 26.
The late Dr Paul Quenet listened to a radio chat show hosting the chairperson of the Pietermaritzburg Community Police Forum about the activities of a CPF, and decided that this should be established in Port Alfred. To this end he approached the police, the media and service clubs to form a forum in Port Alfred.
Dr Quenet invited the interviewee, Stuart Knight to address interested parties in Port Alfred and funded all travelling expenses for this out of his own pocket.
As a result of this a CPF was formed under his chairmanship. Efforts were made to get neighborhood watches established. He also invoked Business Against Crime to help establish a Rapid Rural Response whereby community safety organisations like police, security companies, traffic, fire department and vehicle towing would combine their efforts to combat crime by communicating with one another by radios sponsored by Multi Security on a radio channel sponsored by Business against Crime.
Dr Quenet worked tirelessly (and sometimes doggedly) on getting all of the above established and deserves the credit for this. All this was organised during the time that Govender was station commander of Port Alfred Station but for him to claim that he "revived" the CPF, is bending the truth.
GUNTHER JOHANNSEN, forum member from 2007 to present with five years as chairperson.


This regiment of 10 companies of "Invalids" (in fact, pensioners whether disabled or not, from independent companies of invalids and from Chelsea out-pensioners) was raised for garrison duty on March 11 1719 by Colonel Edmund Fielding, a veteran of Marlborough's wars. The regiment was initially designated as "Colonel Edmund Fielding's Regiment of Invalids". The 3 first companies were raised in a matter of 5 days and were assigned to garrison duties at Portsmouth, relieving the Foot Guards. Detachments were also stationed at Plymouth and on the Island of Jersey.
In 1741, the regiment was renamed the "Royal Invalids".
On July 1 1751, when a Royal warrant reorganised the British infantry, the regiment was designated as the "41st Regiment of Foot, or Invalids".
In 1787, the regiment ceased to comprise invalids and became a conventional line regiment, dropping the title.
The regiment assumed garrison duties throughout the war.
Troopers were armed with with a "Brown Bess" muskets, a bayonet and a sword.
Officers generally carried a spontoon.
The front or fore part of the drums was painted blue, with the regimental badge (the Rose and Thistle on a red ground, within the Garter, and Crown over it), and the number "XLI" under it. The rims were red.
King's Colour: Union with its centre decorated the regimental badge (the Rose and Thistle on a red ground, within the Garter, and Crown over it). The regiment number "XLI" in Roman gold numerals in the upper left corner.
Regimental Colour: blue field; centre device consisting the regimental badge (the Rose and Thistle on a red ground, within the Garter, and Crown over it); the Union in the upper left corner; the crowned royal cipher in the 3 other corners. The regiment number "XLI" in Roman gold numerals superposed to the Union in the upper left corner.

This deployment is in the wake of following recent maritime incidents in the region.
Indian Naval Ships, INS Chennai (Kolkata-class stealth guided missile destroyers) and INS Sunayna (Saryu-class patrol vessel) have been deployed in the region to undertake maritime security operations.
In addition to this aerial surveillance is also being done in the area by IN aircraft.
The Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) of the Indian Navy is also keeping a close watch on the movement of ships in the Gulf region.
IFC-IOR, launched in December 2018, engages with partner nations to develop comprehensive maritime domain awareness and also share information on vessels of interest.
One must know:
Operation Sankalp has been launched in wake of the escalating tension in the Gulf of Oman, where two oil tankers, one Norwegian-owned and other Japanese-owned were attacked on 13th June 2019.
This incident has led to heightened tensions between Iran and the United States (US).
Although, it remains unclear that who was responsible for attacks the US has put the blame on Iran, which, in turn, has denied all allegations.
Q. Indian Navy launched which operation in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to reassure safe passage of Indian flagged vessels transiting through the area?
a. Operation Khaadi
b. Operation Suraksha
c. Operation Sankalp

Video: AADC Deficiency Overview
VIDEO: What is Aromatic L-amino Acid Decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency?
Phillip Pearl, MD, and Keith Hyland, PhD, give an overview of AADC deficiency
Pearl: AADC deficiency is an ultra-rare neurotransmitter disease of childhood. AADC is an acronym for an enzyme known as aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.
Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase is the enzyme that converts L-dopa to dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptamine, which is serotonin.
Hyland: AADC deficiency is an inherited disorder. It affects 2 major neurotransmitter systems within the central and peripheral nervous systems. It's a lack of a particular enzyme that's required for the synthesis of dopamine, which controls movement, serotonin, which controls mood and such like things, and also norepinephrine and adrenaline, which are autonomic nervous system neurotransmitters.
When you lack AADC or the enzyme, which is actually aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase and we abbreviate it to AADC because it's much easier. When you lack that, obviously you lack those neurotransmitters and you have drastic neurological consequences because of that.
Pearl: AADC deficiency is a genetic disorder. It's caused by having mutations of the gene DDC that encodes for the AADC enzyme. It's inherited autosomal recessively, which means a child inherits 2 abnormal variants of that DDC gene.
It is predominantly thought of as a movement disorder, but the truth is it is far more than a movement disorder. It's a disorder that affects tone, typically causes severe hypotonia in the beginning, can cause some hypertonia too, but mainly low tone, causes developmental delay across the board.
The long-term impact tends to be very severe, limitations in longevity, life expectancy, and severe deficits.
The classical case will present typically at 2 or 3 months of age, although the diagnosis is not often made until 2 or 3 years of age. But typically, it'll present at 2 to 3 months, although I've seen it present in the neonatal period.

Coffee cultivation in Tanzania was first introduced at the end of nineties of IXX century thanks to catholic missionaries: the first coffee variety cultivated was Bourbon and later Kent variety. Today we can add Nyssa and Blue Mountain among the major varietes.
Tanzanian Arusha is a market name for the Arusha varietal coffee plant grown on the hills of Mt. Meru as well as Mt. Kilimanjaro. The Arusha varietal is an Arabica coffee varietals that is either a Typica or French Mission variety.
Tanzania's major coffee growing regions include Arusha (Meru), the Moshi district (on the slopes of Kilimanjaro), Oldeani (in the Arusha region), and Pare, the high plateau between Lake Taganyika and Lake Nyassa as well as Songea, the capital of the Ruvuma region of southerner Tanzania where the Ruvuma River forms most of the southern boundary with Mozambique.
Most of Tanzanian region is mountainous in the North-East where Kilimanjaro rises, and vegetation is tropical with a climate suitable for coffee cultivation.
Coffees that come from southern Tanzania tend to benefit from better drying conditions as well as better access to transportation which is a big advantage since a lot of the criticism of defective Tanzanian coffee batches comes from being "steamed" in the shipping containers in transit.
Three of the most distinctive coffees of Tanzania -Moshi, Arusha, and Kilimanjaro- are grown on the hills of Mt. Kilimanjaro near the Tanzania's border with Kenya. Tanzania's high elevation qualifies almost all of its coffee as Strictly High Grown (SHG).
Also respected, but grown in smaller quantities, are Mbeya (the name of a principal town) and Pare (a market name) grown further south between Lake Nyasa and Lake Tanganyika in southern Tanzania.
All Tanzanian Arabica coffee is wet processed (washed), and the Tanzanian coffee grading system is similar to Kenya coffee grading, with Tanzania AA being the highest grade followed by A, B, etc.
If Arabica coffee cultivated in Tanzania is wet processed, Robusta variety in the Southern region of Bukoba, which house the main plantation of this variety, is indeed dry processed.
Tanzania is the third largest coffee producer in Africa and produces about one percent of the world's Arabica coffee.
Economy of Tanzania is one of the poorest in the world and agriculture is focused on coffee cultivation, with 70% of Arabica and 30% of Robusta.
It is estimated that about 400,000 farming families obtain revenue from coffee, and the crop comprises about 20 percent of Tanzania's export earnings. Similar to other regions in the world, some percentage of harvested coffee beans are peaberry, which contain a single bean per coffee fruit rather than the typical two, and are separated to be sold as premium quality. A single bean is able to develop flavours more fully, being given the nutrients of two beans instead of one, and the more uniform size allows for better flavor development during roasting. When used in blends however, peaberries should be done separately and then blended with the other coffees – this is because the differences in sizes will cause the coffees to develop at different rates and can result in over and under roasting coffee.
Harvesting proceed from October to February for Arabica variety (exportations proceed from December to April) and from Juin to December for Robusta (With exportations from August to February), with a total amount of 750.000 bags of coffee per year.
Somewhat similar to Kenya coffee, Tanzania coffee reviews also exhibits a bright and vibrant, winy acidity, sometimes even sharp, and with a deep, rich, and strong taste. Typically with a medium to full body that is intense and creamy, a fine Tanzania coffee has tasting notes of a sweet berry-like, fruity flavor and sometimes notes of cedar.
When Tanzania coffee is given a City Roast it accentuates the herbal-floral scent while a darker roast brings out the berry fruit flavor and a black pepper spice accent in the finish.
