Score one for the humans in the battle between robo- and traditional advisers.
Robo-advisers are still a financial industry newcomer, but they've been around long enough to start losing clients who were unhappy with their experience. Financial planner Rona Birenbaum recently took on someone who moved some money from a full-service brokerage firm to a robo-firm, and then was disappointed not to get financial planning in addition to investment management. "This person wanted a consolidated approach and to speak to real people," Ms. Birenbaum said.
This anecdotal loss of clients to traditional advisers in no way invalidates the vital function provided by robo-advisers. But it does highlight the fact that some investors don't yet understand what robos are and what they do.
A robo-adviser is an online portfolio-management service. You tell your robo-firm who you are and what your financial goals are and it builds and maintains a portfolio of exchange-traded funds for you at a cost that averages something in the area of 0.5 per cent in addition to the fees associated with your ETFs. Robo-advisers have staff you can talk to by phone, Skype and such because they know clients need to speak to a human once in a while, but interactions are primarily online.
Robo-advisers are a good choice for anyone who wants to hand off management of their investments for a modest fee. Young adults starting to save for retirement could be in this group. So could Gen Xers or boomers who don't have accounts large enough to attract the attentions of an elitist investment industry that is mostly contemptuous of small investors. You're invisible to some firms until you have $500,000 to invest – at minimum.
The overriding caveat with robos is that they are portfolio managers, not financial planners who tell you whether you can afford to buy a house, how much to save for retirement if you don't have a pension, whether to emphasize a registered retirement savings plan or a tax-free savings account, how to turn retirement savings into retirement income, when to take your CPP retirement benefits and how to pay no more than your fair share of taxes.
The best human advisers deliver the consolidated planning and investing that Ms. Birenbaum's client was seeking. But this client's story is as much about the failings of some traditional advice firms as it is about the shortcomings of robo-advisers.
"The only reason why this client went to [a robo-adviser] was that he was so unhappy where he was and didn't know where else to go," Ms. Birenbaum said.
Also, this client is in the high-net-worth category. People in this group absolutely need financial planning, ideally delivered in a way that guides their investments. It's pathetic that the client's original firm didn't offer this.
To Mr. Rosentreter, the all-in fees charged by robo-advisers are a poor value compared with do-it-yourself investing. As I noted in this recent article for Globe Unlimited subscribers, you can build a portfolio of exchange-traded funds for half the cost of using a robo-adviser. However, my sense from answering ETF-related questions from Globe readers is that many are struggling to make sense of the hundreds of funds listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and need help to get good results from their investments.
In conducting my annual guide to robo-advisers, I asked whether written financial plans are available. Several firms said yes, sometimes for an extra cost or via referrals to outside planners. But my own experience with financial planning involved multiple face-to-face meetings with my wife and me in which a rapport with the planner was developed. It's hard to see how this is possible via the robo-experience.
Some U.S. and British robo-advisers have introduced more of a human touch via phone or even face-to-face meetings. Michael Katchen, chief of Canada's Wealthsimple, said his firm has to some extent moved in that direction since it opened 3.5 years ago.
For clients with a minimum $100,000 to invest, Wealthsimple Black provides slightly lower advice fees and the option for clients to set up a call with the firm's financialadvisory team. Other services include tax-loss harvesting (strategic portfolio adjustments to generate capital losses that can be applied against gains) and access to VIP airline lounges around the world.
Mr. Katchen said Wealthsimple plans to continue evolving in a way that offers a more personalized experience. Meantime, the firm has taken an important step to reach another client group that was unsuited to robo-advisers.
That would be people who are putting money away as an emergency fund or to reach short-term savings goals. Robo-advisers, with their portfolios built on stocks and bonds, are suitable for people who don't need their money in the near term.
The no-fee savings account is supplied through a partnership with EQ Bank and pays 1.7 per cent (EQ itself offers 2.3 per cent for its savings account). The benefit of saving through Wealthsimple is being able to keep your savings and investments together. Mr. Katchen said clients who make regular contributions to their Wealthsimple accounts can have the money apportioned to both savings and investments.
As for financial planning, you don't necessarily need to dump your robo-adviser to get it. Instead, try a fee-for-service planner who charges a flat or hourly rate to consult or create a plan. Here's a cross-country directory of such planners that I've shared with a lot of readers lately.

2014 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, Western Australia
Categories: Australia, Margaret River, Red wine, Western Australia Tags: Award Winning, Cabernet Sauvignon, Highly Rated Value, Margaret River, Xanadu
96 points James Halliday's Wine Companion
TROPHY NATIONAL WINE SHOW OF AUSTRALIA 2016 Class: Best Cabernet Sauvignon
TROPHY WINE SHOW OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA 2018 Class: Best Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon (91%), Malbec (5%), Petit Verdot (4%). Deep red with ruby hues. The wine exhibits vibrant, characteristic aromas of cassis, mulberries, and black plums entwined with hints of cinnamon, nori, and potpourri. Full-bodied yet refined, the generous palate offers a core of inky berry fruits; boysenberry, blackcurrants and Satsuma plums. Dense and well-structured, the palate is layered with these dark fleshy fruit characteristics and ripe tannins which culminate through to a persistent Cabernet finish.
"….matured for 14 months in French oak (40% new). Great colour is no surprise, nor is the magic of the cassis-filled bouquet and palate. While there is an element of barrel selection (and a trickle down of lesser barrels, and possible promotion) each wine does have its own personality, part shaped by the vineyard and part in the winery. Here the extended maceration has refined the tannins without stripping the fruit. Screwcap. 14% Alcohol. To 2040." – 96 points, James Halliday, Wine Companion 2018 (since 1986)
Fruit was crushed/destemmed before predominantly small batch fermentation in a combination of static and open fermenter. Fermentation takes 7-8 days @ 24 – 26o C, during which the cap is managed using a combination of aerative pumping over as well as regular plunging by hand. After fermentation about a third of the components experienced a period of extended maceration, being left on skins for 4 weeks before a very gentle pressing. MLF takes place in a combination of tank and barrel. The wine was matured for 12 months in French oak (40% new barriques) before the blend was assembled, and then returned to older oak for a further 2 months maturation before bottling.
The 2014 vintage was built on a sound foundation of sub-soil moisture with excellent (above average) rainfall throughout the winter of 2013. The rainfall ceased almost completely from the end of November through to the end of March providing ideal growing conditions. Abundant Marri blossom leading up to, and during, harvest kept bird pressure very low, and yields were average for most varieties. In summary; 2014 was yet another excellent season, continuing the recent dream run of vintages we have had in Margaret River. Most of the fruit for this blend (70%) was sourced from two Grower vineyards in the northern sub-regions of Margaret River, with the remaining 30% being predominantly Estate-grown fruit from the Wallcliffe sub-region

If sudden water damage occurs to your property, it is important to dry all wet areas and provide circulation to aid in the drying process. Because mold can begin to grow within 48 hours of water damage, time is of the essence in this process. At TMR, we don't just focus on drying out carpet and pads, but with getting the entire structure dry to prevent fungal development and reduce repairs & replacements with the ultimate goal of decreasing overall costs. With advanced technology, in most cases we can dry the affected floor covering in place, making it quicker and easier to return to your normal activities. We use the best, most efficient drying equipment in the industry so you can rest assured your water damage will be completely eradicated.
The successful restoration of fire and smoke damage requires a special kind of person; one who is proud of and dedicated to his profession and is equipped with state of the art equipment, chemicals, and technology. At TMR, we use the latest and most effective restoration techniques powered by an experienced, knowledgeable, and committed workforce to restore your property to pre-loss condition. We use advanced equipment and environmentally safe chemicals to clean and deodorize your property and personal items. We have successfully cleaned and removed odors from structures ranging in size from a single-family home to a 55,000 sq. ft. commercial building. Our knowledge about cleaning fire and smoke damaged surfaces can save items that normally would be lost.
Heightened awareness of mold has increased the complexity of water damage situations. Our certified mold remediators are trained and experienced in the complicated issues of mold remediation, its integral involvement with water damage and the boundaries drawn by the insurance policy. The goal of mold remediation is to return the indoor environment to a state of normal fungal ecology typically found in properly maintained structures without a history of water damage.


Several bodies of water are visible near the coast of the Netherlands: the Markermeer (bright green), the IJsselmeer (dark blue) and the Wadden Sea (green, closest to the open ocean).
The Markermeer is a 700 km² lake in the central Netherlands in between North Holland, Flevoland and its larger sibling, the IJsselmeer. A shallow lake at some 3 to 5 m in depth, it is named after the small former island, now peninsula, of Marken that lies within it.
IJsselmeer (sometimes translated as Lake IJssel, alternative international spelling: Lake Yssel) is a shallow lake of 1100 km² in the central Netherlands bordering the provinces of Flevoland, North Holland and Friesland, with an average depth of 5 to 6 m. It is named after the IJssel river that drains into it via a smaller lake, the Ketelmeer. The IJsselmeer is the largest lake in Western Europe.
The Wadden Sea (Dutch: Waddenzee) is an intertidal zone in the southeastern part of the North Sea. It lies between the coast of northwestern continental Europe and the range of Frisian Islands, forming a shallow body of water with tidal flats and wetlands.

The former ringleader of bachata stars Aventura isn't known as the king of the romantic Dominican ballad for nothing: The deeper and more heartfelt the songs, the stronger and more expressive the Bronx-born singer's weepy voice grows. Although this is only his second solo set, guest spots from major names like Drake, Nicki Minaj and even Carlos Santana show how far Santos' reach already extends. He confidently flirts with other genres on the lite-dancehall groove "Animales" and the reggae-ish "Fui a Jamaica," but he never wavers too far from bachata's core themes of love, heartbreak and loyalty. Swoon now, or forever hold your peace.

Too bad Steve Atwater fell short again though. Kind of hard to put 3 Broncos in though.
Only playing in 91 career games continues to hold him back.
Yeah, that's tough for people to look past. That, and being on the Jaguars probably will prevent him from going in. Too bad injuries got the best of him.
If he doesn't get in, then Jags won't have someone in there for a long time. Jimmy Smith or Fred Taylor won't ever even get this close.
But it's definitely arguable. Reed was a monster, amazing player.
I agree about Atwater, I was hoping he'd get in, but with Reed there waiting, I think Reed has to go in before Atwater. Hopefully he'll make it next year.
They could have avoided that by giving Cliff Branch or Tom Flores their due, and letting Atwater in over Bowlen.
Agree. Flores should have been in. He could have too the place of Bowlen this year.
Yet TD got into HOF playing only 78 games. Boselli was more dominant at his position than TD was (and at a premier position).
SBs is what got TD in. Postseason success is the great equalizer for HOF voting, right or wrong.
Agreed. I didn't think Davis should have been elected to the hall.


Hillary's unofficial launch of her 2016 White House bid. It is also no surprise that one of her first stops on the tour was for a star appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the establishment brain trust that has served as the power behind the throne governing America for most of the past century, regardless of whether a Republican or Democrat has occupied the Oval Office.
In a July 2009 speech at the CFR's new Washington, D.C. headquarters, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton referred to the CFR's New York Pratt House headquarters as her "mother ship" and confessed that the State Department looks to the CFR "to be told what we should be doing and how we should think." Now, with the CFR office just down the street, she said, she wouldn't have to go so far for direction.
The anti-sovereignty theme of Haass is a favorite refrain and fetish of CFR maestros, who have been in the forefront of promoting world government and the destruction of national independence for most of the past century.
A video of Hillary's 2009 CFR speech and admission follows.
To the above list of CFR media insiders could be added Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Charlie Rose, Maria Bartiromo, Charles Krauthammer, Andrew Rosenthal, Lee Bollinger, Barry Diller, Jeffrey Bewkes — and many, many more.
Hillary got a big sendoff for her book on June 9 with an interview on ABC by Diane Sawyer (CFR) that was somewhat testy with regard to Benghazi, but, overall, no doubt helped push book sales. Ditto for the June 4 cover story for People magazine (owned by TimeWarner, a CFR corporate member). Vogue magazine, which has featured a number of head-over-heels bouquets for Hillary over the years, published an exclusive excerpt from Hard Choices.
"[A] clear and at times riveting account of Hillary Rodham Clinton's four years as secretary of state….," David Ignatius (CFR) of the Washington Post wrote.
"Hard Choices is a richly detailed and compelling chronicle of Clinton's role in the foreign initiatives and crises that defined the first term of the Obama administration…," the Los Angeles Times exuded.
According to publisher Simon & Schuster, Clinton's book has already sold out the first million copies. All of this friendly media treatment, undoubtedly, has been a key factor in pushing it to instant bestseller status — and adding materially to the Clinton family's already considerable fortune.
Hillary's statement during Diane Sawyer's ABC interview about her and Bill being "dead broke" in 2000 has caused her some repercussions and minor grief. Many critics have pointed out that this was a dishonest attempt to appear to be personally sensitive to the financial pain of average Americans; she had already inked a near-record, multi-million dollar book contract (with a huge advance) — one of several she has enjoyed — before leaving the White House.
Even the pro-Clinton Washington Post felt compelled to point out that "Bill Clinton has received nearly $16 million in pensions and benefits from the federal government since leaving office," which is in addition to the tens of millions more he has made from book deals and speaking engagements.
Although Hillary has not yet become an official member of the CFR, husband Bill and daughter Chelsea are already members.
A video of Hillary Clinton's June 12 book tour appearance at the CFR is posted below.

Homeopathy is a gentle form of healing that is used by over 500 million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. Homeopathy restores the immune system by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms or diagnosis. Homeopathic treatment is safe, effective, and appropriate for people of all ages and stages.
The principles of homeopathy were developed in the eighteenth century by the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. Homeopathy is based on the law of similars or like cures like. It simply means that any substance, which produces symptoms in a healthy person, can cure similar symptoms in a person who is sick. The holistic nature of homeopathy means that each person is treated as a unique individual where their body, mind, spirit and emotions are considered when choosing a homeopathic remedy.
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances such as plants or minerals. The substances are prepared through a process of repeated dilution and succession(shaking). This process is what releases the healing properties of the substance. Homeopathic remedies are made at homeopathic pharmacies that are strictly regulated by the FDA.
Homeopathic remedies act quickly and they are made from natural substances so there is no need to worry about side effects or drugs causing harm to you or your little one. Homeopathic remedies do not treat a symptom or diagnosis. Rather, homeopathic remedies are given to stimulate the body to heal itself.
As a guide, your first appointment with your homeopathic practitioner may last for 90 minutes with a follow-up appointment lasting 30-45 minutes. Questions about your lifestyle, eating habits, temperament, personality, sleep patterns, and medical history will help the homeopath form a complete picture of you. After your consultation your practitioner will study potential homeopathic remedies that will suit you, choosing from over 4,000 homeopathic remedies. This is no small task and may take up to a week for your practitioner to notify you with your chosen homeopathic remedy and instructions.
Homeopathy can be used in conjunction with allopathic medicine and I strongly advise against changing your prescription medications without guidance from your doctor. I believe that allopathic and natural medicine can work together to nurture the most optimal you.
How long is homeopathic treatment?
People with long-standing problems can expect many months of treatment. Whereas, acute issues will clear up rather quickly. After the initial consultation and after the homeopathic remedy is chosen, the practitioner will schedule a follow-up appointment six weeks later. At this time the practitioner will determine how well the remedy acted. As you feel better and move toward your optimal level of health, the follow-up appointments can be spread out over longer periods of time.


Abandoned Recipes – Cook, Eat, Live with Abandon!
I love food, I love cooking, I love baking. I adore things that are umami-loaded (I will argue chocolate and some red wines have umami), crispy, crunchy and have a bright acidic finish. I watch enough food network, cooking channel, Julia Child and Jacques Pepin to know every buzzword. I have every kitchen gadget, appliance, and fancy cookware. For all of this I should be a pretty good cook except for one small issue: I hate waiting.
Food is such an intrinsic part of human existence that I hope to give it the love and attention it deserves.
As soon as I can smell it I want to eat it. The restraint required to let a roast rest is not part of my fiber and yet here I am launching a food blog for the fourth time. I've taken a deep breath and started with my mise en place not only for cooking but also as part of something bigger. I've turned another year older and am fully in my 30s now. This past year was great; I married my best friend; we're ok with our differences, similarities, hobbies and my delusional perception of what I can and can't cook. I am the happiest when I've put it all together and organized it, started with mise en place, and I am looking forward to making this a bigger practice in my day to day life.
Being local is so much more than a hipster trend, it's a way of life that I've learned from my personal experiences. A fresh picked tomato tastes better! I am committed to experiencing what any local community has to offer: farmers markets, area vineyards and breweries, seasonal ingredients and accepting the challenges that they bring.
Food is such an intrinsic part of human existence that I hope to give it the love and attention it deserves. I want to make my interests fit together, measured appropriately, added in the correct order, perfectly balanced and when the time is right know that I have a correct mise en place to abandon the recipe all together.

The True Cost of Keeping a Restaurant Open During a Pandemic
San Francisco chef and restaurateur Pim Techamuanvivit breaks down COVID-19's effects, and the difficult decisions she's had to make

"This is a time that you look around at the people, the makers, the restaurants you care about and you support them because you want them to be here. It's a matter of extinction," the chef and restaurateur Pim Techamuanvivit said when we first spoke in August. Outside of her apartment in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, a throat-burning blanket of smoke hovered over the city as wildfires tore through the surrounding region.
In March, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Bay Area, Techamuanvivit was forced to close the original location of Kin Khao, the critically acclaimed Thai restaurant she had opened in 2015 at the Parc 55 Hotel in Union Square. She kept her second restaurant, Nari, open, turning the six-month-old space in Japantown's Kabuki Hotel into a takeout operation.
Now, as summer waned and restrictions relaxed enough to allow outdoor dining on sidewalks throughout the city, Techamuanvivit was readying the Kabuki's driveway to accommodate dinner service and waiting for the go-ahead to launch Kin Khao's new Dogpatch location. The Union Square address remained on indefinite hiatus while she continued to pay its rent.
Techamuanvivit is a friend of mine, and what began as a phone call to catch up turned into a two-part conversation about the true costs of closing versus remaining open during the pandemic. As we spoke, she broke down its effects on her restaurants, explaining how she'd made difficult decisions and their financial and human costs. "I don't understand why it's up to me as a small-business owner to search my conscience every month to decide whether or not to support my employees," she said at one point. "Where is the conscience of this government, of this social system to support people? Where is the conscience of the country?"
The second time we talked, at the beginning of October, she was driving from Kin Khao's now three-week-old Dogpatch location to Pacific Heights, where Nari had just started serving diners outdoors. "It's good. It feels good," she said. "It's going well, or at least, we're not making a profit but I know I can make rent." What follows is a consolidation of our two phone calls, edited and condensed for clarity.
Eater: I thought we would start with Kin Khao. Could you tell me how you raised the money for the original location at the Parc 55 hotel?
Pim Techamuanvivit: Well, because Kin Khao is my first restaurant project, I bootstrapped it; I really just opened with a lot of my own money. I had one partner who I grew up with in Thailand and the two of us got into this together because I had a very clear concept of what I wanted Kin Khao to be, which is really a different kind of Thai restaurant.
So instead of going out to raise a lot of money for a big splashy project, I kept looking until I found a space that really wanted us to be there. [The landlord] helped us with a big chunk of the costs of redoing the space. So it was possible to open a restaurant in San Francisco, downtown, including capital and everything, for under $1 million.
When you closed that space, how much money were you bringing in a year, or how much approximately were you taking in monthly — for example, before the pandemic, maybe January?
Kin Khao does between $4.5 million to $5 million a year as far as sales. It was about $350,000 in January.
Looking at Kin Khao, I want to get a sense of how much it costs to close a restaurant — in terms of money that you have to lay out to close it, but I'm assuming there are also costs that aren't monetary.
Well, it's a lot of things. Almost everything that we buy is on 15- or 30-day revolving credit. So, when we order meat today, we have that many days to pay for it. And the way that things work, even when we have the money to pay for it, we still use that credit because it makes things run smoother. We do pay cash to some vendors at the farmers markets, but that's about it. So when we had to close, we had basically 30 days of products and costs to pay for.
Cost of goods on the last couple P&L [profit and loss] periods before the pandemic varied between $80,000 to $100,000; that's about how much we lost on products and goods when we closed. The financial loss was mostly in the fresh goods from the first month of closure. Another way to look at the damage is it's that much money every month that we are not spending on or buying from the farmers, purveyors, and companies we do business with. That's how much the closure of Kin Khao took out of the food economy. And that's not counting the wages we pay to our staff who then turn around and spend into the economy.
When we were first told that we had to close down the dining room, I didn't let go of my salaried employees. That's about $50,000 a month, collectively. Nari is a bit less. We were lucky that we were not a hand-to-mouth kind of an operation — up until we closed, we were still doing 200, 250 covers on a Saturday night. We could anticipate what we were bringing in, so we had some money filed away. I didn't want to let go of my entire team, because if you do that, then when you have to reopen the restaurant, that will cost you a lot too, because a management team, especially one that you build, [has] really valuable corporate memory.
But also, it's a bloody pandemic. You can't let people go without health insurance. At the time, I was assuming we would only be closed for a month, two months, three months. I thought, I can do that, I can take that hit. It was, I believe, between $12,000 to $14,000 a month in benefits for each restaurant that we decided to keep paying our employees' insurance. That's 35 employees who were on our insurance plan, for just Kin Khao.
It's a bloody pandemic. You can't let people go without health insurance.
It was the same with Nari. We kept everyone who was eligible for and had health care through us. That's 45 people. There were a bunch of people who hadn't signed up yet and were still eligible or had just become eligible and we made them sign up when we closed so they had health care in this pandemic.
I talked about the importance of the experience and some training for your management staff. The same goes with our hourly employees — our servers, line cooks, prep cooks, butchers. If we're not open, we don't have monies to keep employees working, basically. But even carrying their health insurance, it's a lot of money and we've been doing it for six months, and depending on how Kin Khao does, when we open in Dogpatch, we may or may not be able to continue. [Techamuanvivit was able to pay for everyone's insurance through the end of October, and now covers only those who are working again, including the almost 30 employees she brought back to work at Kin Khao's Dogpatch location.]
Is it the same team that you had before? How many people were you able to retain over the course of the six months you've been closed?
So, Kin Khao, for the first month after COVID, as I explained, we kept all of the salaried employees, which is eight people. And at Nari we have seven people. We basically merged the operations of Kin Khao and Nari and moved everybody to Nari, because Nari is a much bigger space, much newer build, and a much better HVAC system. We created a safe schedule where not everybody worked altogether at the same time. And we started doing takeout. We opened all afternoon, six days a week.
And we did that until the second stay-at-home order was extended at the end of April and became more restrictive. We decided to close down even more, to only have five people working, down from 13 (two of the original 15 chose not to work for personal reasons). We had one front-of-house person, four people in the kitchen — and then went down to five days.
We did that for a while, until things were looking much better in San Francisco. So, we brought back a few employees. We were able to bring back two dishwashers who weren't getting government assistance and that was great.
For comparison and a fuller sense of what's at stake when you close, or when you semi-close, I want to get into the economics of Nari. You invested the profits from the first Kin Khao into Nari, but this time, you also raised outside money. How much did Nari cost all told, and where did that money come from?
Nari cost about $5 million to build.
That's basically more than five times as much as Kin Khao.
I wanted to do something that takes a bit more refinement, to do dishes that I couldn't do at Kin Khao because of the limited space. I felt like I'd sort of proved myself and could run a profitable restaurant. I was confident enough that I could ask people to invest in me. We raised about 30 percent from investors and also received help from the landlord. We were putting a lot more money in, but there's also much bigger potential here than at the tiny space at Kin Khao.
You opened in August last year and then got all of this critical acclaim. When did you start seeing a profit, or had you gotten to the point where you had? Because the restaurant was just six months old when COVID came.
It depends on how you look at profits, right? We haven't really been not-profitable in that we haven't made back the money that we invested, but we were operating cash positive, basically. That means each month it costs me less [to operate] than my sales. At Kin Khao, truly we were cash positive very quickly, [but] at Nari, it took a bit longer. But by the fourth and fifth months, January and February, we had $75,000 positive cash flow at Nari, which was not bad for a new restaurant.
No, not at all.
When we had to close, we still hadn't finished paying for construction because, of course, we projected construction to cost a certain amount, and it never does cost that. So it was over [budget] on all these things… We're not done paying for Nari, basically. So it was really scary when the [lockdown] order came down. The problem with Nari is that we didn't have a lot of cash in the bank before COVID hit. We don't have any extra cash left at Kin Khao either because we'd use it all to build Nari.
The way I'm running both Kin Khao and Nari is to kind of hobble along enough that I can pay to support my teams, keep their jobs, and, you know, keep people eating.
It's not that we were short. We weren't running negative, but nobody has enough to basically take a restaurant through six months of closure. We are still trying to find a way. Right now, when we look at numbers, we're not looking at what returns we need to make, what margins. I'm not thinking in terms of profit. The way I'm running both Kin Khao and Nari is to kind of hobble along enough that I can pay to support my teams, keep their jobs, and, you know, keep people eating, really. And then when we go back to whatever semblance of normal we have at the end of this, I can still have this team and these restaurants.
You told me that keeping the restaurant alive in no matter what capacity, even if you are losing money, is actually an investment in its future success. It's something that obviously not every restaurant is in the position of doing. But when you have a restaurant you've invested that much money in, it actually makes more sense to keep it alive than to close and try to reopen something after the pandemic. I don't know if I'm getting that right but maybe you can explain it.
Well, because a restaurant is not just the building or the tables and chairs and decorations that you put in — it's not just the stuff in the kitchen, right? A restaurant is a team. It's all the people that you spend time training and working with so that you can have a functional restaurant with a functional team. And I like keeping people who work well with me for a long time, and creating opportunity and space for them to grow.
If I close Nari today, it will cost me less than keeping it open. But I'm keeping it open because I need this team when we can open again. And also, these are the people that have worked for me for many years. They need to make a living. So it's important for me to keep this running so that at least we can keep some of these people employed.
In terms of doing takeout, do you make any money off of that?
Do you lose money doing that?
Week to week, it's different, but remember I told you we were $75,000 cash positive when we had to close for COVID?
We got $220,000 in PPP [Paycheck Protection Program loan], and as of last period, I was $300,000 in the hole, so we've lost basically $80,000 in the six months that we've stayed open, assuming that we qualify for forgiveness for PPP. And doing takeout alone is not going to do it anymore. Because we used to do maybe $15,000 a week from takeout, which is not a lot. It's less than what we used to make on a Saturday night.
And we're not even doing that right now, because there's a lot more restaurants opening for takeout, and outdoor services, so people are not that interested in taking things home to eat. So we're going to open outdoors. Luckily we have the driveway, so people won't be sitting on the streets, and we can make it a little bit nice, [and] space out the tables so it's so safe for everyone. [Although Techamuanvivit subsequently reopened Nari for limited indoor service and brought back a number of its employees, she has since closed its dining room to comply with San Francisco's November 13 shutdown of indoor dining.]
You have to spend money on preparing that space, too, right?
We ended up renting everything — the partitions, the pergolas, and the heaters. The propane heaters alone cost $2,000 a month to rent, and after the fire department told us we could no longer use them, we had to spend $3,000 buying 10 electric heaters. But we saved money by using tables and chairs from the hotel's breakfast room downstairs that weren't being used. So we ended up with a really nice space that didn't cost us a lot.
We spent money buying a mobile hand-washing station outside our front door so the servers don't have to run all the way to the back of the restaurant to wash their hands. That was a few hundred dollars. We bought a few trays, to limit touch, so servers can carry plates on those instead of with their hands. We're lucky because the space is quite minimal.
For Kin Khao [in Dogpatch], even though we took over an existing restaurant, we still had some costs for setting up outside: tables and chairs, umbrellas, lights, heaters, lots and lots of compostable takeout containers, which are astonishingly expensive, and we have to use really, really good ones because a hot curry will destroy anything. For example, for just one order of khao soi, which has so many parts we have to keep separate, I'm in for over $2 in containers.
It's so unfair that restaurateurs have been put in the position to figure out what "safe" means — and then have to shoulder all the expenses ensuring that safety, and follow whatever protocol the local government has put in place, which is constantly changing. How much has government assistance actually assisted you in all of this?
No one is very clear about how PPP works, or no one can exactly tell you that it's going to be forgiven or not forgiven. So basically, you're using it thinking you're still going to owe this money at the end of it, because at this point in time, in 2020, you basically just expect that the worst thing that can possibly happen will happen.
I haven't paid myself from either restaurant this year, period, because at Nari, I'm supposed to be paid quarterly, and the time to pay me was when we had to close, and I'd rather keep that cash to operate the restaurants right now.
I keep thinking about mom-and-pop restaurants, and how for them, there wasn't a solid financial infrastructure to begin with, so staying open wasn't even a possibility — and then all the people who lose jobs and salaries because of that, and it's no fault of the owner. There's just not enough there. Because as you said, if it's a hand-to-mouth operation, you don't really have anything. When hard times strike, that's it. You're gone.
Yeah. And if I hadn't used all of the money from Kin Khao to open Nari, Kin Khao could close, I could keep paying people for probably six months, and [we'd] be fine reopening. I mean, it's still going to hurt because it's less money, but we're going to be fine reopening. It's just because, yeah, we're trying to expand and this happened at the wrong time.
I don't know if we're going to make it, frankly. It's still a day-to-day thing. It depends on how long it goes and what happens, because we're going to run out of money at some point.
One thing I have to say is, we're in a much luckier position than a lot of restaurants. I mean, I hear landlord horror stories from everyone, and we are working with landlords who see the value that we bring to their properties, that if and when they reopen their hotels, we're still a lively, delicious, fun, buzzy restaurant, in that space. It's still going to be more profitable for them than basically trying to bleed blood out of a crab. So I'm lucky.

VinaCapital inks partnership with Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund
By Quynh Nguyen
VinaCapital Ventures, a $100-million venture capital arm of asset management firm VinaCapital, has established a strategic partnership with Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund, a $1 billion joint fund by Korea's leading financial group Mirae Asset and internet company Naver.
As part of the partnership, Mirae Asset, that has over $375 billion in assets under management, will invest an undisclosed amount in VinaCapital Ventures, while Naver will work with its portfolio companies to facilitate their expansion plans.
"We are excited to collaborate with Mirae Asset and Naver not simply for the financial investment but for the opportunity to access the experience and technologies that will help our investee companies reach their potential," said Khanh Tran, partner at VinaCapital Ventures at the Vietnam Venture Summit on Monday. "Naver, which operates a variety of online businesses including the popular LINE messaging app, is well-positioned to help Vietnamese startups crack overseas markets such as Korea, Japan, and beyond," he added.
Echoing the same sentiment, Charlie (Choonghwan) Lee, Head of Outbound Investment at Mirae Asset Capital said: "VinaCapital… is one of the pioneering venture capital investors in Vietnam. We share their belief that the opportunities in this country are enormous, and we look forward to working with them and their investees to achieve even greater success."
Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund has been increasingly setting its focus on the Southeast Asian market. In May, it reportedly invested $100 million in an extended Series A round in Singapore-based cloud-based software provider Deskera, marking its deal in the Southeast Asian market this calendar year.
Earlier, in January, the fund invested as much as $50 million in Indonesian e-commerce startup Bukalapak. Its other portfolio companies in the region include Grab, HappyFresh and BigBasket. It is also reportedly participating in Indian ride-hailing startup Ola's $1-billion Series J round.
Launched in 2018, VinaCapital Ventures is a $100 million technology holding company that invests in the next generation of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian startups.
The firm in March added two more Vietnamese startups to its portfolio. The companies are Urbox, a digital gifting platform, and Wee Digital, a fintech startup that uses biometrics and AI to authenticate customers and enhance security.

Workplace Drug Testing
Behind the headline: Too many hooked on prescription drugs
Health chiefs in England are worried.
A BBC News report reveals that sleeping tablets, antidepressants and strong painkillers are used by around a quarter of the country's adults each year. As of March 2018, stated the Public Health England report, half of those who were prescribed these substances had been taking them for at least 12 months.
The fear, say health officials, is that addiction to these prescription drugs is on the rise. While they agree that these medications can drastically improve the quality of patients' lives, they believe that the sheer numbers using them long-term signifies that dependency is on the up.
So, why is this such a problem - and what can be done to combat it?
John Wicks, Cansford Labs co-founder, cites the situation in the US as a potential indicator of where the UK could be headed. Studies reveal that US prescription use of opioids - a group that includes drugs like oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl - increased three-fold between 1999 and 2014. With over 191m opioid prescriptions dispensed in the States in 2017 alone - and the number of deaths associated with these drugs soaring - it is hardly surprising that comparisons are being drawn in the UK.
Benzodiazepines are another group of drugs that have a long history of overprescription. Studies also show that these drugs – which act as sedatives and anti-anxiety medication – have high levels of usage amongst older members of the population.

Overprescription of drugs such as opioids and benzodiazepines can easily lead to addiction. Should the prescription then be withdrawn abruptly, it can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, causing individuals to struggle in carrying out even the simplest of day-to-day tasks.
In such situations, some may turn to illegal sources to avoid going without. With such high demand, we should also be cautious with those who may have unused prescription drugs at home, with younger people in particular under immense peer pressure to take and/or distribute unused prescription medications where possible.
It is unclear as to how many UK workers struggle with prescription drug addiction. The onus is on employers to do what they can to help their employees before a prescription becomes a problematic addiction.
Standard workplace drug tests tend to cover illegal substances only. But should these be extended to include benzodiazepines, opioids and other addictive prescription drugs? Hair drug testing would likely be able to detect such substances when used repeatedly, with positive results (depending on the context) potentially indicating addiction, signalling possible behaviour changes, or highlighting an undeclared physical injury. Used as part of an employee wellbeing programme, such testing could enable employers to catch future problems before they escalate and help or encourage affected employees to obtain the help and support that they need.
With prescriptions for addictive drugs on the rise in England, it is understandable - especially given the situation in the US - that health chiefs are worried. Until GPs are incentivised to cut down on long-term prescriptions of addictive medications, it's up to those involved with the people affected to help to combat the problem, and to avoid the kind of crisis that the United States is experiencing.

Adelaide, Kangaroo Island & Southern Outback
Arkaba Conservancy, Australia
This 1850's five-bedroom homestead is set in the heart of the ancient Flinders Ranges, home to some of the most spectacular outback scenery in the country, and offers a taste of classic Australian country hospitality. Arkaba is a 60,000 wildlife conservancy whose craggy sandstone bluffs and dry creek beds lined with River Red Gum trees are a quintessential Australian scene, while the acclaimed geological amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound lies on the property's northern boundary. Just a four and a half hour drive from Adelaide (or a one hour scenic charter flight), the Flinders Ranges is undoubtedly one of the most accessible outback destinations in Australia.
Arkaba Conservancy
The Arkaba Homestead itself is a classic Flinders building, with thick stone walls, deep shady verandahs and corrugated roofing, all set against the backdrop of the rugged Elder Range. Four traditional style bedrooms are located in the homestead, each with an en suite bathroom and access to the verandah for relaxing in the heat of day. The Coachman's Cottage in the corner of the garden provides a fifth guest room with en suite bathroom. The rooms are air conditioned and have been designed with the homestead's heritage in mind. With no telephones, televisions, minibars or the typical features of a hotel room to distract, the focus is on the experience in one of the most beautiful settings in Australia.
Arkaba was once a sheep station, before the team at Arkaba implemented a program to remove sheep, along with all non-native animals and by the year 2013, all sheep had been removed from the 60,000-acre property and Arkaba was officially developed into a wildlife conservancy. The conservancy is now home to an extraordinary variety of birdlife and wildlife. Red and Grey Kangaroos, Euros (Common Wallaroos) and Emus are regular sightings and, for the more intrepid walkers, a couple of colonies of Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies reside in the Elder Range.
Arkaba's topography offers some of outback Australia's most breathtaking scenery - and there's no question that for wildlife watching, bush-walking, photography or just soaking up the sights and sounds of outback Australia, the Flinders is in a class of its own - it provides a truly memorable introduction to the sheer scale of the outback.

Scott Donald Munsterman (born February 24, 1961) is a former mayor of Brookings, South Dakota. Munsterman sought the Republican nomination for governor of South Dakota in the South Dakota gubernatorial election in 2010. In a Republican primary election on June 8, 2010, Munsterman came in second to Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard. Munsterman received 17.6% or 14,733 of the 83,832 ballots cast, approximately one third of the 50% received by Daugaard.

Before gubernatorial campaign
Munsterman had been part of the Brookings City Council since 2001, and he had served as mayor for six years until 2009. Prior to running for city council, Munsterman was a chiropractor. He is married to Mary Jeanne Munsterman, and they have five daughters and two grandchildren.  According to the American Chiropractic Association, no chiropractor has ever been elected governor of South Dakota.

Gubernatorial campaign
Munsterman made education one of his biggest talking points on the gubernatorial campaign trail in 2009 and said he would reform public education in South Dakota by consolidating school districts and eliminating redundancies by suggesting there might not be a need for one superintendent per district. Munsterman is strongly pro-life, and claims that he is "not sure what the litmus test is for conservatives these days".  During Munsterman's gubernatorial campaign, he met at least once with local ethanol producers, and assured them that, if elected, he would share their priorities.

Views on health care
Munsterman is opposed to government sponsored health care, and has described pending federal medical insurance plans as a "double-barrelled shotgun point right at us".  Munsterman has also described federal medical insurance legislation as a "runaway health care train".  He believes that medicaid recipients should exercise "more personal responsibility."

Legislative career
In 2010, Munsterman was elected to the South Dakota State Legislature, where, in 2011, he served as vice-chair of the health and human services committee and as a member of the local government committee.  In January 2011, Munsterman cosponsored South Dakota Senate Bill 165, which aims to "reduce by ten percent the small school adjustment in the state aid to education formula, and to appropriate the money saved by the state as a result of the reduction to fund the education service agencies."  Also in January 2011, Munsterman cosponsored South Dakota Senate Bill 79, which would "provide for the application of LEAN techniques to certain state government processes and to provide for prioritization and oversight of the lean government program."  One of the stated goals of this law would be to "align work processes, identify problematic issues, and streamline the process."

Munsterman was also a cosponsor of HB 1193, which makes it illegal for townships in South Dakota to restrict the "possession, transportation, sale, transfer, ownership, manufacture, or repair of firearms or ammunition or their components" and continues on to state that "any ordinances existing restrictions prohibited by this section are null and void."  Coincidentally, in 2011 the South Dakota State Legislature overturned governor Daugaard's veto of House Bill 1146, which prevents health insurers from charging higher copayments for patients' visits to chiropractors than they do for patients' visits to medical doctors.  Despite the fact that Munsterman is himself a doctor of chiropractic, he seems to have voted on the bill.

Munsterman has written a book, A Vision for South Dakota, which is freely distributed on his website.  In this book, Munsterman delineates the manner in which South Dakota, after its coming resurgence, will lead the United States into the twenty-first century.  For instance, he states:

However, we currently stand on the brink of losing our opportunity to catch the next train ... it is just now departing the station. This train is representative of the knowledge-based economy and as of today, we have yet to purchase our tickets.

George McMillan Darrow (* 2. Februar 1889 in Springfield (Vermont); † 9. Juni 1983 in Maryland) war ein US-amerikanischer Pomologe und Spezialist für Erdbeeren und deren Kultur. Er arbeitete 46 Jahre lang als Pomologe beim Agricultural Research Service (ARS) des Landwirtschaftsministeriums der Vereinigten Staaten (United States Department of Agriculture, USDA), für das er neue Beerensorten züchtete. Er ist der Mitentdecker der Boysenbeere.

Leben und beruflicher Werdegang
Darrow wurde am 2. Februar 1889 auf einer Milchviehfarm in Springfield, Vermont geboren. Er besuchte das Middlebury College, das er im Jahr 1910 mit dem Bachelor abschloss. Anschließend studierte er Gartenbau an der Cornell University, New York und schloss 1911 mit dem Master of Arts ab. Am 1. Juli 1911 trat er eine Stelle als Wissenschaftlicher Assistent für Obstbau am Landwirtschaftsministerium der Vereinigten Staaten (United States Department of Agriculture, USDA) an, wo er sich zunächst mit Versuchen zu Transport, Verarbeitung, Lagerung und Kühlung von Süßkirschen, Loganbeeren und Pflaumen befasste.

Ab 1912 arbeitete er in einem vierjährigen Forschungsprojekt in den Bundesstaaten Tennessee, Kentucky und West Virginia, wo er die Obstanbauregionen kartierte und die Obstsorten der einzelnen Staaten beschrieb. Ab 1916 begann er mit Studien zum Anbau und zur Sortenkunde bei Beeren.

In den Jahren 1918 und 1919 leistete er Militärdienst als Krankenhaus-Sergeant in Fort McPherson in East Point (Georgia). Im Jahr 1919 heiratete er Grace Chapman (1890–1977), mit der er 6 Kinder bekam.

Nach der Beendigung des Wehrdienstes nahm er ab 1919 die Studien zur Beerenzucht wieder aufnahm und begann im Winter 1920 mit ersten Kreuzungsversuchen mit Erdbeeren. Im Frühjahr 1920 begann er, mit Walter Van Fleet zusammenzuarbeiten, der im Erprobungsgarten des USDA in Glenn Dale (Maryland) Züchtungen von Erdbeer- und Himbeersorten selektierte. Nach Van Fleets Tod im Jahr 1922 setzte er dessen Arbeiten fort und wurde 1928 Leiter des Bereichs Beerenzüchtung.

Als erste von 24 Beerenzüchtungen führte er 1929 die Erdbeersorte Blakemore in den Markt ein.

1927 verlieh ihm die Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore einen Ph.D. für Pflanzenphysiologie und -genetik.

Während er zunächst in Glen Dale und später in Beltsville (Maryland) arbeitete, begann er in den späten 1920er-Jahren, in Oregon ein Züchtungsprogramm für Beerenobst aufzubauen. Er erlangte vor allem als Experte für die Kultur und Züchtung von Erdbeeren große Bekanntheit, beschäftigte sich aber auch mit der Züchtung von Brombeeren, Himbeeren und Blaubeeren.
In den Jahren 1956 und 1957 unternahm Darrow eine Reise in die südamerikanischen Anden, wo er autochthone Erdbeeren sammelte.

In seiner 46-jährigen Dienstzeit veröffentlichte Darrow mehr als 230 Publikationen, bevor er 1957 in den Ruhestand eintrat. Nach seiner Pensionierung war er weiter als Berater für das Landwirtschaftsministerium tätig und arbeitete an dem Buch The Strawberry: History, Breeding and Physiology, dass im Jahr 1966 veröffentlicht wurde.

Darrow züchtete mit großer Leidenschaft Taglilien und begann nach seiner Pensionierung auf seiner Farm Olallie in Maryland eine Taglilien-Sammlung aufzubauen. Er ist der Züchter von mehr als 50 registrierten Taglilien-Hybriden, darunter die Sorte 'Olallie George Darrow' (1978). Im Jahr 1979 wurden von seinem Sohn Dan Ableger der Taglilienpflanzen auf dessen Farm in Vermont (Olallie Farm North) gebracht, um dort das Werk des Vaters fortzusetzen.

Darrow starb 1983 in Maryland. Seine zahlreichen Aufzeichnungen, Fotografien und Manuskripte vermachte er der National Agricultural Library des Landwirtschaftsministeriums der Vereinigten Staaten, wo sie Bestandteil der Special Collections sind.

Entdeckung der Boysenbeere

In den späten 1920er-Jahren kamen Darrow Berichte über eine große, rot-violette Beere zu Ohren, die ein Gärtner namens Rudolph Boysen auf seiner Farm in Napa in Nordkalifornien aus einer Kreuzung zwischen Brombeere und Loganbeere gezüchtet hatte. Zusammen mit dem südkalifornischen Beerenexperten und Farmer Walter Knott begann er, nach der Beere zu recherchieren.
Darrow und Knott fanden heraus, dass Boysen seine Farm nach einem Unfall aufgegeben und verkauft hatte. Sie suchten auf dem brachliegenden Farmgelände und fanden dort noch einige von Unkraut überwucherte Ranken, die sie ausgruben und auf Knotts Farm in Buena Park, Kalifornien, anpflanzten und vermehrten. Darrow und Knott benannten die Beere zu Ehren ihres Züchters als Boysenbeere.

Walter Knott war der erste Farmer, der Boysenbeeren kommerziell kultivierte und vermarktete. Auf seiner Farm betrieb Knott einen Straßenstand, an dem er Beeren verkaufte. Seine Frau Cordelia begann ab 1934, neben den Beeren auch Boysenbeeren-Kuchen und gebratene Hähnchen zu verkaufen, woraus sich mit der Zeit ein Restaurantbetrieb entwickelte. Als das Restaurant so gut lief, dass es manchmal zu stundenlangen Wartezeiten kam, baute Knott ab 1940 eine Geisterstadt zur Unterhaltung der Gäste auf. 1968 wurde die Farm, auf der nach und nach weitere Attraktionen entstanden, eingezäunt und verlangte Eintritt. Walter Knotts Beerenfarm entwickelte sich schließlich zu dem Freizeitpark Knott's Berry Farm.

Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen
 Für seine Arbeiten zu Beerenfrüchten verlieh ihm 1948 die American Pomological Society die nach ihrem Gründer Marshall Pinckney Wilder benannte Wilder Medal.

 1954 verlieh ihm die USDA den Distinguished Service Award für seine Verdienste im Bereich der Züchtung und Verbesserung von Beerensorten.

 Die Brombeersorte Darrow, die 1946 von der New York State Fruit Testing Cooperative Association gezüchtet wurde, wurde 1956 zu Ehren von George Darrow benannt.

 Im Jahr 1963 wurde George Darrow die Ehrendoktorwürde der University of North Carolina verliehen.

 1968 wurde ihm der Liberty Hyde Bailey Award der American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS), 1993 wurde er als achtes Mitglied in die ASHS Hall of Fame aufgenommen.

  Eine durch S.Y. Hu auf den russischen Insel Sachalin gefundene Taglilie wurde 1969 zu Ehren von George Darrow Hemerocallis darrowiana benannt. Die Art gilt heute als verschollen.

Q: How to fix "babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register"? I have followed the instructions in npm official page.
Im not using any TS file
-- in package.json
"scripts": {
 "server": "nodemon --exec babel-node --plugins require-context-hook --watch src/server src/server/index.js"
}

*

*in.babelrc file:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/env", "@babel/react"],
  "plugins": ["require-context-hook"]
}

but still get the error:
Could not find a declaration file for module 'babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register'.

-- index.js
 const context = require.context(
    ".",
    true,
   /^\.\/(?!index\.js).*\.js$/,
    "sync");

generates this error :
ReferenceError: __requireContext is not defined
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks!

A: invert the node environment to the following
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register')()
}

essentially replace "development" with "!production"

Notice of Opportunity for Hearing Proposal to Withdraw Two ANDAs Implicates Cetero BE studies
Lachman Consultant Services, Inc. / Blog / ANDAs / Notice of Opportunity for Hearing Proposal to Withdraw Two ANDAs Implicates Cetero BE studies
By Bob Pollock Oct 28, 2019 ANDAs Compliance FDA Regulatory Affairs
In two separate Federal Register (FR) Notices on the FR prepublication page (here and here), the FDA proposed to withdraw approval of two ANDAs based on lack of confidence in the bioequivalence data contained in the applications. The concern relates to a problem at a bioequivalence testing laboratory. The Notices state:
"In May 2010 and December 2010, FDA conducted comprehensive inspections of bioequivalence studies conducted by Cetero Research at the Houston, TX site. The inspections were part of FDA's Bioresearch Monitoring Program, which includes inspections to evaluate the conduct of research, to confirm that data intended for submission to FDA are reliable as a basis for FDA approval and regulatory decisions, and to verify compliance with the bioavailability and bioequivalence requirements in section 505 of the FD&C Act and 21 CFR part 320. The findings of these inspections of bioequivalence studies conducted by Cetero Research raised significant concerns about the validity of the reported results of analytical studies conducted between April 1, 2005, and June 15, 2010, in support of drug applications."
The two Notices outline the history of the issues with each of the products and the actions that the FDA has taken, which includes multiple letters and notices to the firms and ultimately downgrading the therapeutic equivalence codes because the firms failed to provide the required additional data to support the bioequivalence of the applications. The process for both firms started with the first FDA letter issued in 2011. It has taken the FDA eight-plus years to get to this point. And now the firms have one more bite at an apple that is, by now, rotten.
The FR notices are interesting and provide an inside look at the way the Agency approaches these types of issues.

The strand 1-led conference 'Languages and Others: Diversity and Humour in Catalonia and Ukraine' took place on 18 March 2019 at the University of Cambridge. The aim of this conference was to bring together practitioners and scholars to address questions of diversity, linguistic unity and humour in Catalonia and Ukraine. It consisted of two round tables and concluded with a public lecture.
On 10-11 January 2019 at the University of Birmingham, an international conference, 'Multilingual Practices in Early Modern Literary Culture', brought together scholars from around the UK and continental Europe to explore ways in which multilingualism shaped early modern literary practice. The conference consisted of six panels, including scholars from a range of disciplines such as Modern Languages, English, Classics, Neo-Latin, and History. The event was made possible by a MEITs flexible funding award.
Another successful collaboration between the MEITS team and Cambridge Ethnic Community Forum (https://www.cecf.co.uk/) took place on 20 February 2019 at Arbury Court, Cambridge. This community event, celebrating International Mother Language Day, allowed those attending to share ideas on what it means to be multilingual for those living in Cambridge today.
On 14 November 2017 sixteen multilingual Year 8 students from four schools in Nottingham visited the University of Nottingham to take part in a workshop entitled What I want to say is... The session was organized by colleagues from Strand 2 of the MEITS project, Nottingham City Council's IDEAL team, and the Nottingham Writers' Studio.
Following a successful second policy workshop in December 2018 in Belfast, bringing together policymakers and academics from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, Wendy Ayres-Bennett, PI of MEITS, and Janice Carruthers, AHRC Leadership Fellow in Modern Languages, have published a new Policy Briefing on Modern Languages Educational Policy in the UK.
Would you like to help one of our fellow OWRI projects with their research on multilingualism and language learning at university?
