Q: Keep Latin Modern as the font used inside math equations In a Hebrew document, I changed the fonts as in the MWE below.
The thing is that when I have some text typed inside \text{…}, the font used to print it is not the font used for math.
How do I fix it?
I tried the no-math for fontspec but it doesn't help.
The output now:

whereas I want the "sec" to be printed with "Latin Modern Math":

MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{Arial}[Script=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Bonum}[Script=Latin, Language=English]
\setmathrm{Latin Modern Math}
\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}
\begin{document}
אבג דהו $\Delta t=1\ \text{sec}$ זחט יכל.
\end{document}

A: The simplest solution is to use \mathrm instead of \text.  This defaults to the main document font, but you can change it with \setmathrm{Latin Modern Roman}.  Also use ~ for a non-breaking space.
\documentclass{article}
\tracinglostchars=3 % Make it an error to use the wrong font for the current language.
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\defaultfontfeatures{ Scale=MatchLowercase, Ligatures=TeX }
\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{Arial}[Script=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Bonum}[Script=Latin, Language=English]
\setmathrm{Latin Modern Roman}
\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}

\begin{document}
אבג דהו $\Delta t=1\mathrm{~sec}$ זחט יכל.
\end{document}

In practice, you probably want to make commands for this, such as \sec or \unit{s}, but at that point you might seriously consider siunitx.  You will seriously thank yourself later for using semantic markup that lets you change the formatting of your units or your vectors in a single place.  Otherwise, hunting down all the \mathrm commands that format units, and only those that do, will be a major headache when you have to change it later.
i took the liberty of adding a command to stop you from trying to display Hebrew in a font that doesn't support it, and to automatically rescale the fonts to the same x-height.
Side Notes
By the way, I answered the question as asked, but this isn't a selection of fonts I would use by choice.  You might get some more harmonious-looking traditional fonts with:
\documentclass{article}
\tracinglostchars=3 % Make it an error to use the wrong font for the current language.
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\defaultfontfeatures{ Scale=MatchUppercase, Ligatures=TeX }
% The Culmus fonts are available at https://culmus.sourceforge.io/download.html
\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{Frank Ruehl CLM}[Script=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Schola}
\setmathfont{TeX Gyre Schola Math}
\setmathrm{TeX Gyre Schola}

\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}

\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}

\begin{document}
אבג דהו $\Delta t=1\mathrm{~sec}$ זחט יכל.
\end{document}

This uses the fonts from the Culmus Project.
Or, if you want to stay with Arial and use a math font that matches it better:
\documentclass{article}
\tracinglostchars=3 % Make it an error to use the wrong font for the current language.
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\defaultfontfeatures{ Scale=MatchLowercase, Ligatures=TeX }
\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{Arial}[Script=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{Fira Sans}
\setmathfont{Fira Math}
\setmathrm{fira Sans}

\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}

\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}

\begin{document}
אבג דהו $\increment t=1\mathrm{~sec}$ זחט יכל.
\end{document}

(There is also [a fork of Fira, FiraGO, that supports Hebrew.)
Or, a good companion font for Computer Modern might be:
\documentclass{article}
\tracinglostchars=3 % Make it an error to use the wrong font for the current language.
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\defaultfontfeatures{ Scale=MatchLowercase, Ligatures=TeX }
% Frank Ruhl Libre is available from:

\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{FrankRuhlLibre}[Script=Hebrew, Language=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{Latin Modern Roman}
\setmathrm{Latin Modern Roman}

\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}

\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}

\begin{document}
\emph{ אבג דהו $\Delta t=1\mathrm{~sec}$ זחט יכל}

אבג דהו $ \Delta t=1\mathrm{~sec}$ זחט יכל.
\end{document}

Where you can download the Hebrew font from OpenSiddur.
As a historical aside, Hayyim Selig Slonimski, a leader of the nineteenth-century Maskilim and one of the first to publish scientific works in Hebrew, used Drugulin in the body of his books published in Warsaw.  That would be an unusual choice today!  (But if you were inclined to, the Taamey Ashkenaz font from Culmus with Times is a close approximation.)
Post-Post-Script
As requested, an example using siunitx:
\documentclass{article}
\tracinglostchars=3 % Make it an error to use the wrong font for the current language.
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage[mode=math,
            propagate-math-font=true,
            reset-math-version=false
           ]{siunitx}

\defaultfontfeatures{ Scale=MatchLowercase, Ligatures=TeX }
\newfontfamily\hebrewfont{Arial}[Script=Hebrew]
\newfontfamily\englishfont{TeX Gyre Bonum}
\setmathrm{Latin Modern Roman}
\setboldmathrm{LM Roman 10 Bold}
\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\boldmath\bfseries}

\begin{document}
\emph{ אבג דהו $\Delta t=\qty{1}{\second}$ זחט יכל} \\
אבג דהו
\( \Delta t=\qty{1}{\second} \)
זחט יכל.
\end{document}

I turned off the reset-math-version package option because the redefinition of \emph suggests you're using \boldmath and want it to propagate to your units.  You might want to \setboldmathrm to make this work properly.
You can also reduce the spacing in some circumstances with the tight-spacing option, or use a font other than \mathrm with the unit-font-command= option.

A: \newfontfamily\lmmath{Latin Modern Math}
\NewCommandCopy{\oldtext}{\text}
\RenewDocumentCommand{\text}{m}{\oldtext{\lmmath #1}}

Add these to preamble.

2012 Opinion Articles
Better Value and Better Health
By Rohan Mead
Group Managing Director, Australian Unity
Largely hidden by the glare of attention on whether the recent Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook has Australia on track for a surplus in 2012-13 was more evidence of a deeper, long-term truth – Australia's rising healthcare costs are unsustainable.
The government's MYEFO announcement that it would index the private health insurance rebate to inflation came with an explicit acknowledgment that the health costs problem is with us now and cannot be avoided.
The government's proposal, which will reduce its exposure to this particular burden by capping its share of the premiums to a general inflation rate, makes sense in the light of its medium-term fiscal challenges. But will it deal with the longer-term fundamental truth that we are all paying more for a health system that is under pressure and is not delivering a sufficient improvement in health outcomes?
Australia's health system is good: our outcomes and expenditure are about the middle of the pack of similar countries. But the prospect is that the health system will become stretched too thin.
Treasurer Wayne Swan recognised this when he said in the context of MYEFO that the private health insurance rebate, which costs about $5 billion a year, would grow by 6.3 per cent a year over the forward estimates. By 2022 the rebate would cost $8 billion a year.
Swan described the rate of increase as "unsustainable''. Health Minister Tanya Plibersek made a similar comment in her explanation of the change, saying that health expenditure was growing at about 6.8 per cent a year.
Health costs are on a trajectory far steeper than other areas of expenditure. One way to deal with this is for government to step back from its current heavy involvement in premium-setting as a mechanism for controlling health inflation, and more actively support health funders to develop a commercially viable model for people to get more effective healthcare.
In other words, we should focus on reforms that ensure health services are not only delivered with better value but also provide better health outcomes for individuals.
For example, when an older female customer seeks a refund for care associated with a low-impact fracture, the funder would have a commercial imperative to identify her risk of osteoporosis and develop programs that would assist her to prevent further injuries.
The developmental work on such a system has already begun. Medicare Select is a proposal from the 2009 National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission for a universal, tax-funded health insurance scheme, which warrants renewed consideration in light of the MYEFO decision.
As a universal health insurance scheme, Medicare Select would incorporate Medicare – funded solely by the federal government – state funding and private insurers.
Everyone would receive an insurance contribution from the federal government, reflecting their demographic and level of health risk, which they could use to select an insurance plan from a private, government or not-for-profit insurance provider.
The funder would then have access to information regarding the breadth of risks and outcomes for its population and would therefore have a strong incentive to work with fund members to improve their health outcomes.
Just like the current system, such a system will provide a universal safety net, with the option for individuals to buy more health cover if they wish. Moreover, it will encourage greater competition among providers, currently a weakness in the system.
If we are to reform a system that will be required to cope with a rapidly ageing, health resource-hungry demographic, we have to move beyond incremental, budget-by-budget reform. We need a comprehensive and continual process of structural health reform that considers the balance between levels of government and the public and private sectors to get the quality of outcomes we all want.

Q: Cannot import module that imports a custom class I have a directory and module design that looks like this:
MyProject --- - script.py
             |
              - helpers --- - __init__.py
                           |
                            - class_container.py
                           |
                            - helper.py

# class_container.py

class MyClass:
    pass

# helper.py

from class_container import MyClass
def func():
   # some code using MyClass

# script.py

from helpers.helper import func

When I run script.py:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'class_container'

I tried changing the code in helper.py such as:
# helper.py

from helpers.class_container import MyClass
def func():
   # some code using MyClass

Then running script.py started working. But when I explicitly run helper.py:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'helpers'

I want to be able run both script.py and helper.py separately without needing to change the code in any module.

Edit: I figured a solution which is changing helper.py such as:
from pathlib import Path
import sys

sys.path.append(str(Path(__file__).parent))

from class_container import MyClass
def func():
   # some code using MyClass

Basically I added the directory of helper.py to sys.path by using sys and pathlib modules and __file__ object. And unlike import statement's behaviour, __file__ will not forget it's roots when imported/used from a different module (i.e it won't become the path of script.py when imported into it. It'll always be the path of helper.py since it was initiated there.).
Though I'd appreciate if someone can show another way that doesn't involve messing with sys.path, it feels like an illegal, 'unpythonic' tool.

A: You have to create a __init__.py file in the MyProject/helpers directory. Maybe you already have created it. If not, create an empty file.
Then in the MyProject/helpers/helper.py, access the module helpers.class_container like this.
from helpers.class_container import MyClass
def func():
   # some code using MyClass

You can also use a relative import like this.
from .class_container import MyClass

If you want to run the MyProject/helpers/helper.py independently, add test code in helper.py like this.
from helpers.class_container import MyClass
def func():
   # some code using MyClass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    func()

And run like this in the MyProject directory.(I assume a Linux environment.)
$ python3 -m helpers.helper

The point is to differentiate Python modules from Python scripts and  treat them differently.

Skin diseases may look similar to an untrained eye, but every skin condition is unique from each other. It is the same with psoriasis and scabies. People may easily confuse the two skin disorders, but there are apparent differences if you take a closer look.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease and not caused by external factors. The immune system of psoriasis patients attacks itself, resulting skin cells to develop rapidly. You can't contract psoriasis as it isn't contagious.
Meanwhile, scabies happens when Sarcoptes scabiei, a microscopic mite burrows into a victim's skin and lays eggs. Then, the eggs hatch into larvae, move to the surface of the skin and repeat the cycle. Prolonged direct skin contact with people with scabies is usually how the mites spread to other hosts.
As psoriasis and scabies are obviously two different diseases, there are distinct signs of the two skin disorders.
Due to the rapid skin cell growth occurring in psoriasis patients, they suffer from red, flaky patches on their skin. These lesions may appear on anywhere on the body but are often found on the palms, elbows and the scalp.
On the other hand, infestations of scabies appear in the form of a pimple-like rash. A person that has scabies may also develop sores by scratching due to the intense itching experienced. Another distinct trait of the scabies is the track-like burrows created by the mites tunnelling under the skin.
There is no known cure to psoriasis, but there are treatment and medication to manage with the symptoms. Most common methods include topical steroids, ultraviolet light therapy or a combination of different treatments.
You can get rid of scabies by applying a prescription lotion or cream on your whole body and leave it for 8 to 14 hours. Doctors may also provide antihistamine pills to ease the itching. Close family members are also recommended to go under the same treatment regardless if they show signs of scabies or not.
Psoriasis and scabies can be easy to tell apart if you know what symptoms to look for. If you believe you have psoriasis or scabies, stay calm and consult a doctor immediately.

The relationship between insurance plans and divorce | The Smith Law Offices, P.C.
On behalf of The Smith Law Offices, P.C. posted in Divorce on Friday, September 28, 2012.
When irreconcilable differences arise between couples during a marriage, the end of the marriage may be the only solution. But, ending a marriage may only be the beginning of other issues that arise or come to light after the divorce.
Michigan residents in the process of divorcing or considering divorce will find it interesting to know that issues pertaining to life, health, home and auto insurance may require significant consideration during the divorce process and action on part of one or both parties after the divorce is finalized. Failure to address insurance issues may leave one over, under or not insured at all.
With respect to health insurance, one may be tempted to leave an ex-spouse on their insurance but if the carrier finds out that the ex-spouse should not be covered, they will be dropped. If children were covered under one spouse's insurance, the couples should decide under whose insurance they should be insured post-marriage or set up a rotating schedule to ensure their coverage. Coverage can be expensive for the party who once enjoyed the benefit of being insured under their ex-spouse's plan.
Similarly with life insurance, it is important to change the beneficiary on the policy in a timely manner. However, if alimony payments are required, one may, pursuant to state law, be required to include life insurance coverage in the divorce settlement. Finally, with auto and home insurance, after the divorce is finalized the parties should get separate auto insurance. If property division results in one side losing half of what they own, home insurance policies should be reviewed to reduce payments or if both sides end up renting, then to get rid of the home insurance policy altogether and consider respective renter's insurance.
During a divorce parties deal with numerous issues ranging from child custody to property division. Thus, issues pertaining to insurance may not be the first thing on one's mind. However, it is important for a divorcing couple to consider these matters and make the necessary and timely changes to avoid problems with the various types of insurance in the future.


In the early 20th century, nutrition science sparked the modernization of the American diet. Soon after, World War I brought about the state's management of food on a large scale, changing what and how Americans ate.
Lloyd Harrison, "Corn: The Food of the Nation," 1918. This Food Administration propaganda poster advertised some of the many uses of corn, one of the most prominent of the substitute foods administrators promoted.
"Modern Food, Moral Food" by Helen Zoe Veit, weaves together cultural history and the history of science to bring readers into the strange and complex world of the American Progressive Era that left a profound mark on the American diet.

Now is the hour of our testing. Let us make it the hour of our victory—victory over ourselves.
In the 1890s, when a poor African American sharecropper in Mississippi ate a plate of beans, greens, gravy, and corn bread, her dinner seemed a world removed from a Gilded Age restaurant meal of steak, asparagus, Béarnaise sauce, and white rolls. Just two decades later, however, by the 1910s, chemical analyses of these foods would reveal disconcerting similarities in their nutritive content. In fact, the poor southern meal—lower in fat and higher in vitamins—would increasingly look like the healthier of the two. By breaking food down into units like vitamins, calories, proteins, and carbohydrates, nutritionists by the 1910s were able to argue convincingly that foods that had long seemed completely different could in fact be nutritionally equivalent. In so doing, they exposed striking similarities in foods from different classes and cultures and regions. It seems commonsensical in hindsight, but at the time this way of thinking about food was revolutionary.
Nutrition science sparked the modernization of American diets, but it was really only the beginning: the ways Americans bought, produced, ate, and thought about their food and their bodies all changed dramatically. And the most radical changes happened during the first two decades of the twentieth century, an extraordinarily short period of time. During these years, modern food science, Progressive impulses, and U.S. involvement in World War I all came together to fundamentally change American thinking on food. The war was particularly crucial. Immediately after entering the war in 1917, the government created a powerful wartime agency called the United States Food Administration, which aimed to ship food supplies to western European allies and neutrals, where supplies in some places ran desperately low. For almost two years, the war provided a laboratory on the American home front in which the state managed food on a national scale, making food and its management patriotic projects and extending the state's reach into the home, onto dinner plates, and into kitchen cabinets. The Food Administration and the voluntary conservation campaigns that surrounded it marked the high point of a revolution in the ways Americans at all levels of society understood food.
The way we think about food now has its origins in this moment. Today, popular interest in food has never been higher, and Americans are newly vocal about the diverse pleasures of cooking, eating, and thinking about food, as well as the dire results of not thinking about it enough. Movies, magazines, websites, and television shows focusing on food have gained a firm place in mainstream media, while middle-class "foodies" unembarrassedly describe cooking and eating as central to their lives. Grocery stores offering a dizzying array of products, almost unimaginable a generation earlier, have flourished around the country. Meanwhile, driven by concerns ranging from food safety to food quality to environmental degradation to exploitative labor practices, Americans in growing numbers have become invested in knowing where their food comes from and how it is produced. As a result, interest in home food production has seen an unprecedented revival, from home baking, home canning, home brewing, and home cheese making to vegetable gardening to domestic livestock husbandry. At the same time, participation in farm shares and farmers' markets has grown rapidly, while demand for organic and local products in even conventional supermarkets has boomed. Commitment to local, seasonal, and sustainable eating has been fueled by a new genre of books and documentary films that decry the production methods of industrial food systems. Americans' food choices are regularly pointed to as vital factors in public health, social justice, national security, climate change, and even geopolitics. On a scale unrivaled since the Progressive Era, food choices have again become moral choices.
To understand food now, it is crucial to understand the origins of modern eating. In the first decades of the twentieth century, Americans were also living through a time when food had taken on urgent new importance. In the long term, many believed, national strength depended on a stable and abundant food supply, and public health depended upon a population that was literate in nutrition science. Rationalizing food production, distribution, and consumption promised to make U.S. society wealthier and more efficient, with stronger and more productive citizens. To many Americans, indeed, a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. food offered answers to a host of social questions, including physical health, wage strife, women's roles, racial fitness, Americanization, international welfare, and world peace. European food shortages during World War I clarified that world power in the new century would hinge on the ability to marshal and coordinate food resources, both within and without national borders. Whether the goal was global power or individual health, some said there was simply "no question more important" than food.
None of this would have happened in the same way if it had not happened in the Progressive Era. Progressives were first and foremost confident problem solvers, people who identified social problems and set about systematically trying to solve them, whether in groups or as individuals, through private or state initiatives. Classic Progressive methodology relied upon expert authority to generate solutions to social problems and upon bureaucracies to carry out those solutions. An extraordinarily broad array of Americans worked to reform food in the early twentieth century, and not all of them would have described themselves as "Progressives." In fact, most of them probably would not have known exactly what that term meant. But Progressive Era confidence in expertise, social-scientific knowledge, centralized administration, and the possibility of positive social change itself profoundly influenced the many diverse attempts to change American eating during these years.
A major reason that ambitious food reform seemed possible in the first place was that so much about food had recently changed. Food practices in the United States had never been static, but major changes in previous decades had unfastened a whole generation of Americans from habitual ways of dealing with and thinking about food. Since the late nineteenth century, Americans had witnessed the rise of industrialized food production and distribution, a revolution in nutrition science, the institutionalization of home economics within U.S. public schools and universities, the shrinking presence of servants in middle-class homes, repeated attempts by reformers to Americanize the diets of immigrants and improve the diets of the poor, the beginnings of both commercial and domestic refrigeration, and a dramatic spike in food prices. Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was becoming more normal to eat food that wasn't produced at home, whether it came from a restaurant or a can. By the mid-1910s, the food crisis afflicting western Europe — and the notion that "famine" had struck even "the white race," as one U.S. food administrator put it — made clear that global systems were pitifully vulnerable to disruptions when left to the vagaries of weather and war. High food prices at home and food shortages abroad confirmed the moral mandate to rethink the rules by which Americans ate.
More to the purpose, in fact, they confirmed the mandate to create rules for eating where there had seemingly been none before. The great theme of Progressive food reform was the urgent need to make everything about food more rational, and given the stakes, reformers imbued their quest for rational food with a profound sense of morality. Indeed, for many Americans in the Progressive Era the concepts of rationality and morality were virtually inseparable. That was their point. When it came to food, it was especially important to think about it rationally because it was so beguilingly easy to think about it irrationally. Emotions, traditions, and the pleasures of eating were powerful forces pushing Americans to make poor food choices. Eating the wrong things would make Americans less productive — malnourished or even "overweight," a recently coined term for a growing problem. And eating the wrong things in time of war meant that U.S. allies and U.S. soldiers themselves might go hungry.
Downplaying the pleasure of eating — and even renouncing pleasure altogether in some cases — seemed to make it easier to make rational food choices. Doing so, of course, demanded enormous self-discipline, and a growing number of Americans expressed the idea that self-discipline around food was a moral virtue. And it was a virtue not only in its own right but also because it bespoke a general ability to forego immediate gratification and to control animal impulses in the interest of what people knew, intellectually, to be good and right. During a war that the U.S. government styled as an epic contest between democracy and autocracy, Americans described the internal self-control of individuals in a democracy as vastly superior to a dictatorship's external demands. Indeed, they said with growing confidence that individual self-control was the very foundation of a healthy, productive, and democratic society. Thus an astonishingly broad group of Americans in this era held up ascetic self-control as a virtue and as the enlightened pathway to mature citizenship. The Food Administration's "victory over ourselves" slogan emphasized the moral imperative of self-control around food. At the same time, of course, the slogan also acknowledged how difficult such self-control really was.
The food crisis of World War I politicized food, and the book's first chapter describes how that politicization heralded a new attitude toward eating for a new century. As food administrators worked to send high-calorie, highly transportable commodities like beef, pork, white flour, butter, and sugar to war-torn Europe, they called upon Americans to voluntarily eat less of those foods, daily staples for many, in the name of a greater good. The administration's head, a young Herbert Hoover, had the power to impose a nationwide food rationing system, but instead he relied almost completely on voluntarism and propaganda, and a great many Americans ultimately welcomed the opportunities voluntary food conservation offered to exercise self-discipline. The sensual pleasures of eating went out of fashion in wartime America amid claims from both the government and from ordinary people that overeating and waste threatened moral life. In contrast, Americans who deprioritized pleasure when deciding what to eat supposedly demonstrated the depth of their self-control and, thus, their intellectual and political maturity. In Progressive debates about both food and democracy, self-control became the defining feature of those white American adults, male or female, who were worthy of full political participation.
As food reformers in the early twentieth century worked to rationalize American diets, hoping to get people to spend both their money and their physical energy more efficiently, they codified a food philosophy that would define the era: rational decision-making based on science trumped pleasure and tradition every time when it came to eating. The wartime food conservation campaign helped popularize nutrition science, and its popularity was speeded, not slowed, by the moralism embedded in it. In their quest to rationalize food, reformers promoted a variety of what they described as rational foods, ranging from cheap sources of protein and calcium, like peanut butter and cottage cheese, to foods previously considered waste products, like brains and intestines, to unfamiliar animal products, including even the meat of cats and dogs. The extremity of some reformers' dietary suggestions reveal the obsession with use, value and efficiency that continued to underpin U.S. diets throughout the twentieth century, as well as what would ultimately prove to be the limits of rational eating.
Besides increasingly thinking about their food choices in terms of nutrition science, Americans also more and more considered the effects of their food choices on the world. The United States was becoming an ascendant world power during the Great War, in part because recipients of American "aid" paid for it by going into deep debt, cementing the U.S. position as postwar creditor to the empires of Europe. International food aid captured Americans' imaginations, and it did so because administrators compellingly connected individuals' food choices to the welfare of people in other countries and to their own country's evolving international role. They also encouraged all Americans to see themselves as both citizens and benefactors of a hungry world. As a result, a much wider cast of characters was involved in this foreign aid project than historians have usually acknowledged, including housewives, children, poor laborers, immigrants, and African Americans — people who believed the U.S. government when it told them they could be heroic participants in international aid every time they stood up to cook or sat down to eat.
Despite its immediate relevance, however, the longest-lasting forum through which Americans considered the political and social implications of their food choices was not international food aid. Instead, it was the seemingly mundane realm of home economics. A young discipline that was expanding rapidly by the 1910s, home economics was central to Progressivism. Home economists throughout the early twentieth century described housework as a scientific occupation with immediate value for state and society, and modern American women as the expert administrators of family diet and health. This persuasive redefinition of what it meant to be a housewife helped change attitudes as the availability of domestic servants dwindled and as middle-class women who had previously employed servants began to accept full-time housework as a personal duty, and even, to some extent, as a privilege. Women in the Progressive Era self-consciously linked their push for political rights to the politicization of cooking and other domestic work, and gender identities were transformed in tandem with social and political changes. In fact, in the context of debates over woman suffrage and the food conservation campaign itself, some women claimed that their own specialized knowledge of food production and domestic management gave them unique political insights. Home economics, together with the wartime food conservation campaign, popularized the belief that housework was public service in the private home, a labor of love and a form of political labor that was best performed by educated wives and mothers rather than by servants.
Meanwhile, the ersatz science of eugenics was also repositioning itself in response to changing popular beliefs about food's effects on the body. As nutritionists demonstrated that poor diets hindered both physical and mental development, Americans increasingly expressed the idea that biological parentage was only part of what went into creating healthy, productive adults. If diet could affect individual health and intelligence, it seemed obvious that the dietary habits of a race could steer its course. A new discipline called "euthenics" emerged in this era to tackle the effects of environment on race, complicating eugenicists' claims that breeding was the engine of racial development. Even while maintaining a lively interest in the genetic aspects of race, both white and black euthenists argued that sanitation, exercise, and especially diet also drove racial change. In the context of changing beliefs about the limits and malleability of biological race, food in the Progressive Era became a crucible for debates about racial progress.
Americanization efforts, and the uneasy incorporation of foreign foods into mainstream American diets throughout the first four decades of the twentieth century. Americanization efforts crested around the time of the Great War, as native-born reformers sought to convince first- and second-generation immigrants to take up nominally "American" habits, including food habits. Yet counterintuitively, at this same time more and more native-born Americans were in fact eagerly sampling what they considered foreign foods, spurred in part by wartime food conservation suggestions to try "foreign" recipes that stretched meat and wheat. Thus in the very midst of Americanization efforts, a number of immigrant dishes actually entered mainstream U.S. cookbooks and diets, especially mixed foods like pasta dishes, stews, and casseroles. The fact that these dishes became utterly commonplace in the decades that followed only points to the depth of this culinary transformation: in the early years of the twentieth century, some Americans had found these foods to be truly disgusting, a disgust sharpened by the conviction that eating gloppy foreign foods had racial consequences. In the end, Americanization efforts had the most drastic effect on the recipes themselves, and blander versions of what had seemed like threateningly exotic recipes emerged as components of a broader U.S. diet that was only strengthened by its limited diversity.
The idealization of thinness was the single most enduring expression of Progressive beliefs in the moral value of asceticism. During the 1910s, Americans made increasingly bold associations between moral righteousness, physical self-discipline, and the unattractiveness of body fat, and these associations directly contributed to the explosion of the thin ideal for both sexes — and especially for women — In the 1920s, 1930s, and beyond. While moderate amounts of excess fat had long seemed like an admirable indication of prosperity, by the late 1910s Americans in large numbers began instead to condemn excess weight as the physical evidence of gluttony and as lack of self-control made manifest. In the midst of international food shortages, Americans described fat as the visible evidence of moral weakness, and that basic idea not only survived the war but thrived in the decades that followed. The idealization of thinness that came to dominate twentieth-century conceptions of beauty grew alongside and gained strength from Progressive ideals of asceticism, moral legibility, and righteous self-discipline.
The modernization of food in the early twentieth century drew upon and contributed to Progressive beliefs about order and self-control, and these beliefs had lasting social, political, and cultural repercussions. Throughout this era, reformers aggressively touted the benefits of making American food more efficient. Far from a peripheral pursuit, they claimed, the quest for rational food could strengthen the economy, enhance public health and racial fitness, clarify women's roles, speed immigrants' assimilation, and elevate America's place in the world. Yet beneath the boosterism, reformers continually acknowledged the profound difficulty of actually extricating food from its messy cultural contexts. Eating rationally meant more than disseminating information about nutrition science, more than getting American consumers to allocate their food budgets more wisely, and more even than submitting agriculture or food processing to industrial methods. On its most basic level, rational food really did call for "victory over ourselves," a series of battles that people would have to wage and re-wage every day against inclination, against habit, and even against the drive for pleasure. Eating rationally, in other words, demanded what proved to be an unsustainable victory over some of peoples' most fundamental instincts and powerful desires.
To tell the story of food's modernization, this book immerses the reader in the complex and sometimes strange world of the American Progressive Era, letting the voices of real people articulate their own changing beliefs about food. Many of those voices come from an extraordinary source base that no historian had thoroughly explored before: the more than 380,000 letters that Americans wrote to the Food Administration in the late 1910s, housed in the U.S. National Archives' Food Administration collection. These letters provide a truly exceptional window into what ordinary people were thinking about food and eating at a time when food habits were undergoing revolutionary changes. People who wrote to the government were a self-selecting group by definition, but the letters nevertheless reveal that in terms of class, race, age, gender, and geographical location, an astounding diversity of Americans sought to communicate with their government about food. Many wrote either to praise or to denounce federal food policies. Just as often, however, letter writers veered into rich and unpredictable territory. People talked about their food preferences, justifying their likes and dislikes and providing recipes and kitchen tips. Sometimes they inventoried their pantry shelves or listed the kinds of foods growing in their gardens. Occasionally they described their efforts to gain or to lose weight. And over and over they detailed their beliefs about how eating habits could lead alternatively to moral uprightness or to moral corruption. Not only do the letters provide an unparalleled snapshot of Americans' attitudes about food in this historical moment, but the very fact that they exist in such scope and at such a scale underlines the point that food was a passionate issue. I spent months immersed in these letters, and by the end of my time in the National Archives it was obvious that they contained far more valuable material than could ever fit within the reach of a single project. These letters remain a valuable source base that other historians will wish to explore in the future.
Another great boon to this project was the fact that food administrators engaged press-clipping services from 1917 to 1919 in order to gauge public sentiment across the country. During these years, press-clipping employees combed U.S. newspapers ranging from the immense to the miniscule, cutting out and cataloging any article or blurb that mentioned food, cooking, gardening, diets, or, of course, the wartime food conservation campaign itself. The fruits of their labors are also held in the National Archives' Food Administration collection. Thus with great dispatch I was able to browse food-related articles, editorials, letters, cartoons, and recipes from hundreds of newspapers, including many from towns so small it is difficult to find them on a map.
Besides the National Archives, the manuscript draws from research performed at more than a dozen other archives in the United States and Europe. Among the collections in which I worked are the archives at Cornell University on cookery, extension work, and home economics; the archives of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; the holdings of the Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, Iowa; the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University; and the extensive culinary collections at Michigan State University. I also made use of European archives: the French National Archives and National Library, archives in northern France from places that were rich agricultural regions before the war and scenes of some of the bloodiest fighting during the war, and the National Library of Spain.
Historical study of food forces us to confront some of our most basic human beliefs about what is normal, what is right, what is disgusting, and what is natural. Because food can seem like an intimately familiar — even a transhistorical — topic, putting food in historical context underlines the fragility of any casual assumptions about the beliefs and motivations of people in the past. I have written this book around the extraordinary primary sources I found, based on the belief that the thoughts of ordinary people are never more immediate or more revealing than when expressed in their own words.

This earthquake is believed to have been caused by the Dalton-Gunning Zone, only 60 km north of Canberra. The magnitude of the earthquake was ML 5.6 and caused particular damage in Gunning, although the event was felt all over south-east NSW. In Canberra, trees shook violently, the ground – including roads – appeared to ripple-up and a telephone in a local swimming pool office wobbled so much it began to ring.

Here's How TNB Aims To Improve Power Quality & Pave The Way For Renewable Energy In M'sia
Around RM27 billion will be invested by the utility group, which includes important core upgrades and expansions between 2021 to 2023.

To ensure all Malaysians receive quality power supply, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has established the Grid of The Future programme

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation in Malaysia, which led to an increase in heavy usage of technology among users. Hence, TNB has taken the necessary steps to both ensure power quality and restart the economy by modernising the National Grid with their programme.
During an interview with The Malaysian Reserve, TNB's Chief Grid Officer, Datuk Husaini Husin, said that since the nation is more digitally-driven, the power grid must be capable of ensuring power stability.
"We are becoming smarter in technology, which means we are also becoming more technologically-intensive.
"Just a small flicker of electricity supply can make productivity difficult, so we look to ensure TNB delivers the power quality," Datuk Husaini said.
Around RM27 billion will be invested by the utility group, which includes important core upgrades and expansions between 2021 to 2023

With this investment, it is projected to deliver an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) impact of RM20 billion, as well as create over 300,000 jobs in the next three years.
The great thing about the Grid Of The Future programme is that there are six investment categories, which are new grid connection, grid refurbishment, safety and environment compliance, self-healing grid, grid digital intelligence infrastructure, and smart tools and equipment.
Not only will these efforts improve the energy infrastructure in Malaysia, but it also paves the way towards sustainable energy
This can be seen by TNB's efforts to digitalise the grid to improve operational efficiency. Datuk Husaini has also said that this smart grid would help increase network reliability and grid control to allow for better troubleshooting, as well as increase integration of distributed energy resources and renewable energy.
"We also look to unleash workforce capability to improve in customer-facing areas and customer service on top of excelling under the incentive-based regulation, thus improving productivity and practising a high safety culture.
"Other key focus areas include supporting government-led initiatives to help drive the energy transition in Malaysia, as well as digitalising business interfaces which will improve productivity," he said.
The National Grid supplies 9.44 million homes and businesses along the length and breadth of Peninsular Malaysia

The grid has played an important role in TNB's efforts for energy transformation, and the company is investing heavily in the national grid to improve its capacity to reliably and efficiently support the growing generation of renewable energy by its prosumers.
As the grid becomes fully automated, customers and workers will be able to better manage the consumption and supply of energy.
To ensure a safe, secure, and reliable national grid system, TNB's strategy is to leverage new technology and improve efficiency by creating a self-healing grid, and utilising demand management more effectively.
According to Datuk Husaini, the grid's peak demand has decreased marginally this year as a result of the movement control order and mobility restrictions, which have reduced commercial power use.
"The peak demand has decreased marginally in the Peninsular to 18,808 megawatt-hours, but with the re-opening of the economy and business, it will increase back to pre-Covid levels and likely even more," he said.
All in all, TNB's top priority is to power the nation whilst ensuring that its critical infrastructure remains running and functioning, even during a global pandemic
TNB aims to work together with the government to understand the implications, continue to support the lives and livelihoods of Malaysians, and determine ways to limit immediate impacts, all while charting a path to a swift and lasting recovery.
One of TNB's initiatives, known as TNB's Reskilling Malaysia Programme, was established to reskill and upskill Malaysia's workforce via UNITEN, ILSAS, and various other training bodies. This will be especially useful for those who are unemployed or retrenched, as they can gain employment by participating in the training courses required for selected industries. All courses under this programme are applicable and open to non-TNB employees.
TNB's Reskilling Malaysia Programme aims to provide training to 5,000 people by 2021, with a total of 17,500 people trained by 2024.

Cloud providers' love/hate relationship with pay-as-you-go pricing
By Owen Rogers 2014-01-15T09:20:00.14Z Web
On-demand not the only option
IT vendors had a golden age before the invention of the cloud.
It was essentially a risk-free delivery. Customers required a product, sales would propose a solution to which the customer would sign and commit, the customer would pay upfront, the vendor would start manufacturing (if required), and eventually the solution would be delivered to the customer.
At every step of this journey the vendor took steps to prevent its risk. The contract was negotiated per customer, thereby ensuring the deal was profitable. The customer paid upfront so the vendor didn't need to borrow money or risk the customer defaulting on a debt.
The contract commitment was made beforehand, so the customer took the risk that the solution might not be used. And finally, the customer was told when delivery would be made, so the vendor could optimize its stock levels.
Cloud computing changed this. Being able to buy computing resources on-demand, with no advanced notice, no commitment, no upfront payment, public pricing and immediate delivery, means the financial risk on the customers part is negligible. If you don't consume a resource, you don't pay for it; if you do, pay only for what you used at the end of the month. This is an attractive selling point for providers.
The result of this is that the risk is now put back in the hands of the cloud provider. The provider must borrow funds to invest in infrastructure that might not be used sufficiently to make a return.
The provider must build the technology in advance of when its customers need it - consumers can't wait for a resource, it must be delivered immediately. And the provider must take the risk that consumers won't pay its bills at the end of the month.
With this in mind, it's easy to see why none of the larger IT companies disrupted the market with cloud computing and it was left to Amazon.com, a company more commonly associated with books and films to do it first. IT companies had lots to lose by introducing pay-as-you-go; AWS on the other hand, had a lot to gain.
However, the tide is turning, and many cloud providers now offer alternative pricing schemes alongside on-demand, allowing consumers to take on more risk, thereby getting a discount.
In fact, the Cloud Pricing Codex found 50% of cloud providers now offer on-demand alternatives. So don't thank cloud providers too much for giving you that discount for a commitment – trust me, they wouldn't do it if it didn't ultimately benefit them too.

Title: Paraguay: Background and U.S. Relations
CRS report number: RL34180
Author(s): Mark P. Sullivan, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division
The demise of the long-ruling Stroessner military dictatorship in 1989 initiated a political transition in Paraguay that has been difficult at times. Current President Nicanor Duarte Frutos has implemented some reforms that have addressed corruption and contributed to economic growth. Yet, due in large part to the country's authoritarian past, Paraguay's state institutions remain weak while corruption remains ingrained in the political culture, impeding democratic consolidation and economic development.

Try Kyolic Garlic from the health food store for prevention and as interventive natural antibiotic! You can research it online. This stuff is great for any bacterial infection.
Kyolic garlic is a natural, super-aged garlic. Don't take straight though; it tastes AWFUL, and I love garlic. Fill one or two clear vegetable capsules (also available at health food store) two or three times per day for a week or more to clear an abscess. Once I took more than this per day to clear an earache but got super sick to my sick to my stomach and had diarrhea and threw up. So I stick to the recommended amount now. Ask at the health food store if you are unsure. It probably also helps to take it with food.
You will also need to address the pain. I do natural topical treatments plus oral meds.

Q: how to scan/check java classes in a package for @slf4j annotations New to groovy and Spring trying to help our Dev team with some logging features in our framework.
I have created a MethodLogging Aspect to log method execution times on any classes with @Loggable annotation.
However, as a second phase I need to determine if a class in a given package is annotated with @slf4j and execute slf4j logging features instead of @Loggable.
here's the aspect code
import groovy.util.logging.Slf4j
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration

@Aspect
@Slf4j
public class LoggingAspect {
  // This is a Logging Aspect for the Loggable annotation that calculates
  // method runtimes for all methods under classes annotated with @Loggable

  @Around('execution (* *(..)) && @within(com.zions.common.services.logging.Loggable)')
  public Object logExecutionTime(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Object proceed = joinPoint.proceed();
    long executionTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
    log.info("${joinPoint.getSignature()} executed in ${executionTime}ms");
    return proceed;
  }
}

here's the @Loggable annotation code
package com.zions.common.services.logging

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

// Logging annotation to be used at class level

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Loggable {}

Any ideas or resources on how to approach this effort would be appreciated.

A: In principle intercepting @Slf4j would be just the same as for your own custom annotation if (and only if) @Slf4j would still be present in the byte code during runtime. But in fact it isn't. It has SOURCE retention as you can see in the annotation source code.
Background: The @Slf4j annotation is used by the Groovy compiler in order to dynamically create a static logger during compilation so as to save you as a user boilerplate code in your Groovy classes. If you decompile this class...
package de.scrum_master.stackoverflow

import groovy.util.logging.Slf4j

@Slf4j
class FooBarZot {
  void test() {
    log.info("test")
  }
}

... you will see something like this:
package de.scrum_master.stackoverflow;

import groovy.lang.GroovyObject;
import groovy.lang.MetaClass;
import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter;
import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSite;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class FooBarZot implements GroovyObject {
  private static final transient Logger log;

  public FooBarZot() {
    CallSite[] var1 = $getCallSiteArray();
    super();
    MetaClass var2 = this.$getStaticMetaClass();
    this.metaClass = var2;
  }

  public void test() {
    CallSite[] var1 = $getCallSiteArray();
    var1[0].call(log, "test");
  }

  static {
    Object var0 = $getCallSiteArray()[1].call(LoggerFactory.class, "de.scrum_master.stackoverflow.FooBarZot");
    log = (Logger)ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(var0, Logger.class);

Consequently, AspectJ will not help you intercept the @Slf4j annotation just because it does not exist during runtime. You will need to find another way of achieving what you want. One such approach might be annotation processing because it is done before compilation.


Enterprise organizations often deal with a wide array of ever-evolving EDI standards. As business requirements change with time, efficiently integrating these outlying data formats with core systems and databases usually requires intense manual coding and architectural complexity, consuming valuable IT resources and slowing operational responsiveness.
Data Integration Suite effectively answers these data integration challenges, automatically transforming thousands of standard EDI messages to XML and back. With no development required, Data Integration Suite maximizes developer productivity and delivers a responsive, flexible data integration solution, allowing developers to seamlessly convert EDI data and stream it as XML at runtime to any enterprise application.
For the EDI standards of EDIFACT, HL7, IATA, X12 and EANCOM, Data Integration Suite includes a unique auto-detection mechanism, automatically determining the EDI dialect and selecting the appropriate dictionary version, with no manual intervention. Almost every institution that uses EDI, however, varies slightly from the published standards. Data Integration Suite includes full extensibility mechanisms to cope with whatever customizations are needed.

On this date in 1967, Sunny Ang hanged in Singapore for murder.
The missing corpse did not present anything like the difficulty the barristers might have anticipated for this landmark conviction.
For one thing, everyone knew where and how 22-year-old waitress Jenny Cheok Cheng had died: on a diving trip near the Sisters' Islands, Cheng had slipped under the waves while her betrothed waited in the boat … and she had never resurfaced. Frogmen combing the area could find only a single swimming flipper: it had been sliced with a knife to make it slip off during the swim, the inference being that the bladehandler had been interested in the inexperienced diver "accidentally" losing her maneuver while the forceful straits currents went to work on her.
Loverboy Sunny Ang, a vain wastrel facing bankruptcy,** just so happened to be in line to benefit, having insured his bride-to-be to the tune of nearly $1 million over several policies — including one which he had extended mere hours before the murder, and extended by only five more days. One imagines here that the tampered flipper might have been just one of several innocuous-looking accidents, each one a little lure for the Angel of Death, slated to cross Jenny Cheng's path during the couple's seaside canoodle courtesy of her own personal Final Destination.
In his young life, Ang had washed out of teacher school, pilot school, and law school. Ang's laziness went on full display in the murder caper because the hired boatman who took the couple out diving — a witness whom Ang was probably expecting to provide his alibi — took the stand to describe the amazing extent of his guest's unconcern about his lover going missing.
In a situation where the reasonable homicidal villain would anticipate means, motive, and opportunity all implicating him like blazing klaxons, Ang couldn't be arsed to allay suspicion with the duest of panic-stricken diligence, like putting on his own suit and jumping in the water to look for her, or even raising his voice a few decibels to feign alarm. He did not, however, neglect to file his insurance claims very promptly.
Small wonder with bloodless banter like this that his jury only needed two hours to convict him, body or no body.
Justice Buttrose: Did you realise that this girl, whom you love and whom you were going to marry, had gone down and disappeared, and you calmly turn round to the boatman and said, 'All right. Go to St John's'?
Ang: If she was anywhere around the boat we would have seen her air bubbles.
Justice Buttrose: It didn't occur to you to go down and search for her?
Ang: Because I thought there was obviously a leak and also if she was anywhere around the boat, we would have seen her air bubbles.
Mr Seow: You had skin-diving equipment with you in the boat?
Mr Seow: The girl you were going to marry was obviously in difficulty, if not actually dead already. Why didn't you use your skin-diving equipment to go down?
Ang: I was not quite sure what sort of difficulties she was in. It occurred to me — it was a vague thought — that she might have been attacked by sharks. In fact, I remarked upon that to Yusuf [the boatman]. Not then, but long after the incident.
Justice Buttrose: You could have gone down to find out?
Ang: She might have been attacked by sharks.
Mr Seow: When did you change back into your street clothes?
Ang: I think I remember I put them on, on my way to St John's Island.
Mr Seow: So that when the Malay divers were going in, you were then in your street clothes, and you saw no point in joining them?
Ang: I do not say I saw no point. I was in my street clothes and there were more experienced skin-divers, and there were five of them. Besides I knew the chances of finding her were very slim.
Justice Buttrose: You never got into the water at all that day? You never got your feet wet?
* Ang went on trial in April 1965, when Singapore was still part of Malaysia — hence the reference to the scope of the country as a whole. By the time Ang hanged, Singapore had been expelled from Malaysia and become an independent polity.
** He had also previously stolen from his father and police already knew that, so he didn't enter his capital trial with much existing credence for rectitude.

Chrissy Teigen Says Sports Illustrated Is Scared of Swimsuit Models Losing Weight
Chrissy Teigen was recently asked how she keeps her weight down while working in the competitive world of modeling. Chrissy said she doesn't feel the need to abstain from the food she loves because she is lucky enough to work for Sports Illustrated. "They're actually terrified of girls losing weight and not being sexy anymore," she told the Huffington Post. "I'm not that girl who is walking the runways of Milan anyway, so I do get to eat like that. I feel badly for those girls who have to be so waif thin, doing those catwalks all the time because, luckily we're going into a different time—that's what they're saying, at least—in we're appreciating a curvier figure. But to be honest, I couldn't be like an hourglass if I tried." Let's send high-fives to SI! It's nice to hear that they are supporting a healthier body image.

Most digital oscilloscopes gain their high sampling rates by interleaving multiple 8-bit ADCs. Despite careful design, the interleaving process introduces errors that always make the dynamic performance worse than the performance of the individual ADC cores. The new PicoScope 5000 Series scopes have a significantly different architecture in which multiple high-resolution ADCs can be applied to the input channels in different time-interleaved and parallel combinations to boost either the sampling rate or the resolution.
In time-interleaved mode, the ADCs are interleaved to provide 1 GS/s at 8 bits (see diagram). Interleaving reduces the performance of the ADCs, but the resulting (60 dB SFDR) is still much better than oscilloscopes that interleave 8-bit ADCs. This mode can also provide 500 MS/s at 12 bits resolution. In parallel mode, multiple ADCs are sampled in phase on each channel to increase the resolution and dynamic performance (see diagram). Sampling in parallel with multiple ADCs and combining the output reduces noise and also both the integral and differential nonlinearity. Using parallel mode, resolution is increased to 14 bits at 125 MS/s per channel (>70 dB SFDR). If only two channels are required then resolution can be increased to 15 bits, and in single-channel mode all the ADCs are combined to give a 16 bit mode at 62.5 MS/s. The software gives the choice of selecting the resolution or leaving the scope in "auto resolution" mode where the optimum resolution is used for the chosen settings.

Old Village: Interior Designer Muffie Faith's Historic Manse
Stephanie Hunt
The interior design maven behind haute home decor emporium Elizabeth Stuart Design opens the doors to her rehabbed Old Village residence, decked out in her signature flawless style and fit-for-family furnishings
Muffie Faith has mastered the fine art of surprise. She doesn't jolt with avant-garde or surprise simply for the sake of surprise—she's too smart for that. She's more sophisticatedly subversive: Muffie pulls you in with classic style then catches you off guard with fresh, playful detail. That's part of her brilliant formula with ESD (short for Elizabeth Stuart Design), her eponymous home decor boutique; there, you never know what you might find—perked-up antiques, mod lamps, sparkling vintage chandeliers—only that it will be fabulous. It's also what makes her residence a homey haven of polished and perfected unpredictability. The approach to the Faith home itself entails an element of oh wow. Tucked into the quiet end of Haddrell's Point in Mount Pleasant's Old Village, the house sits on a high bluff hidden from the street. Trees obscure the initial view, so driving or walking up the handsome bluestone driveway feels like watching a theater curtain open. Gabled grandness and cottage charm meet under mature, glossy magnolias and imposing live oaks. Rising tall from an old brick foundation, this is a quintessential white-framed, black shuttered, tin-roofed Southern showstopper. In fact, Muffie herself was taken aback when she first encountered the property some 13 years ago, back when she and her husband Bob were living in Houston, Texas, with their two young children. Muffie, a Columbia native and College of Charleston grad, found herself pining for home. "I'm the youngest of eight, and I've got a huge clan here. I always imagined moving back to South Carolina," she says. During one Charleston visit, she was checking out real estate, thinking a summer home might cure her Lowcountry longings, when realtor Chuck Sullivan showed her a derelict old cottage that'd been on the market for years. Nobody dared tackle it. "It was June, all the magnolias were in bloom; I walked in and my heart started racing," says Muffie, talking a mile a minute in her typical high-octane mode. "It was like a spook house—a total wreck—but it had great bones and these amazing grounds. My imagination went crazy." In what is now the dining room, Muffie pried a hefty two-by-four off a door to reveal a spellbinding harbor view. "Oh my gosh—it was unbelievable." Even so, it took another two years before her husband even saw the house. Finally, she and Bob were in town together, looking at various Charleston properties. "I'm a great salesperson," says Muffie. "I saved this one for last." Her strategy paid off. Despite the fact that they'd just put a house under contract in Austin and that this 1850s-era Gothic Revival shambles needed an extensive overhaul, Bob, too, was smitten. "We just have to find away to make it work," he said. Resurrection Muffie, then expecting her third child, engaged the help of her former classmate and longtime pal, Beau Clowney of Beau Clowney Design, and contractor Richard "Moby" Marks to begin spiffing up this quaint, three-over-three room cottage that had once served as a Civil War hospital and a sea captain's house. Their initial plan to keep it small and use it as a second home, however, shifted after Bob decided to move his business to Charleston. "Heck, if we can raise our children in an idyllic place like the Old Village, why not?" the couple reasoned. So in midstream, the moderate renovation morphed into a full-scale resurrection, transforming the cozy digs into a bustling family home. "The existing structure was such a gem, we were afraid of messing it up," says Clowney, who had worked with Muffie previously on two Texas renovations. "In my view, when it's an old building, there are right and wrong ways to go about it. The worst thing you can do is transform the original structure into a stretch limo." So Clowney and a very pregnant Muffie commenced their planning. "We spent hours sitting on the roof eating egg salad sandwiches, dreaming this place to fruition," she recalls. Their goal: to make a significantly sized addition look like it evolved over time, retaining the character of an old house. The solution: create a new "kitchen house" to bridge the old structure with the new and serve as an epicenter for this on-the-go family; vary roof lines to give deference to the original structure; and marry the interior and exterior spaces throughout, capitalizing on the magnificent grounds, majestic trees, and harbor views. Developing a master plan for the 2.7 acres was integral to the project, notes Clowney, who worked with landscape architect Sheila Wertimer and Muffie to create garden "rooms" and courtyards that had direct correlations to the interior spaces. The kitchen opens to a romantic wisteria arbor toward the back, and a courtyard facing the water. "I love the outside more than the inside," admits Muffie, a one-time florist who grew up with a dream garden where she knew every shrub, every tree. "Combining texture and color is all part of design." The back lawn is gracefully terraced toward the water, and off to the right, tropical plantings veil the swimming pool. "I wanted to create an entrance through the hedge to this whole other oasis, this surprise," says Muffie, who designed the exotic poolhouse as a "Thailand meets Pawleys Island" outpost. "Muffie has great taste and talent, such a keen design eye," says Clowney. "She had very real expectations for every material and every finish. When a client knows what they want, the work is not about me or my design idea, but about helping them achieve their vision and parlay their personality into the project." Perhaps this is why Muffie and Clowney collaborate so splendidly: her approach to design is also about infusing a space with personality and self-expression. "Home should be about what moves you, what makes you comfortable and happy, not about stepping into the illusion of someone else's life," she says. It's a lesson she learned the hard way, while decorating this home. Redemption Muffie's self-taught design career evolved naturally from her inimitable, instinctual style. "I was the kid constantly changing my room around," Muffie says. "My brothers and sisters would say, 'Hey, come see what Muffie's done now.' My mom gave me free rein to paint (kelly green with white trim!) and decorate however I wanted." When Muffie couldn't afford a coveted four-poster bed, she ad-libbed, suspending hanging baskets at each corner. Always an art lover and collector, Muffie began buying antiques and other funky finds in Houston and selling them out of a small cottage in her backyard, which led to interior design requests, which eventually led to ESD—essentially a much-expanded version of her homegrown Houston operation. Her style has never been bound by rules; she simply has a natural feel for what works and what wows. And by the time she'd finished painting, arranging, and decorating her newly renovated Old Village abode, styling it to a "T" for a House and Garden photo shoot, the house definitely wowed, but, Muffie soon realized, it was all wrong. "The rooms looked great, but it was void, hollow, it meant nothing to me," she says. "Here I had these little kids (Bobby, Stuart, and Beau, now 13, 12, and 10, were all under age four at the time) and I was worried about Disney stickers on the furniture. I thought, 'this is crazy. Who are you? What really means something to you?' It was a painful process for me to figure that out." Muffie began to take inventory of her own life, then to radically edit and rethink the rooms. Though still picture perfect, they're now enlivened with kids' drawings and art with personal stories behind it; heirlooms from her grandmother's house are mixed with treasures found on family travels; French antiques meld with Oriental accents—a beloved and well-balanced jumble. "No bird puts his nest together with one kind of stick," she notes. This revelation that style and soul are intimately connected was perhaps the biggest and most satisfying surprise that this house project held. "Sure, I can make something photo-shoot ready in a minute," says Muffie, who was a 2005 winner of HGTV's Designer Challenge. "But the real effort comes in putting emotion and meaning into it." For Muffie, satisfying design doesn't simply entail pairing the right fabric with the right painting in the right place, though that's certainly part of it. In the end, it's personal, it's surprising. It's an act of faith.
