From farmworker to farm owner
By Mandla Khoza - 20 August 2019 - 10:05
Mpumalanga MEC for agriculture, rural development and environmental affairs, Vusi Shongwe hands over a R300,000 cheque to Khulile Mahlalela.

At only 31, Khulile Mahlalela has gone from being a farmworker to owning her own farm and scooping several awards, including Mpumalanga's 2019 Female Farmer of the Year.
Mahlalela, who owns Legend Piggery in Middelburg, said her upbringing in an agricultural background made her choose farming after not doing well in science at school. This forced her to give up her dream to become a geologist.
"Agriculture was not my first love, I wanted to be a geologist when I was in high school, but after not doing well in science, my parents asked me to check another career path.
"Actually, I had no choice but to choose farming because I grew up in an agricultural background and when they said I must choose, agriculture was one path I chose. I then went to do an animal production diploma at the Mangosuthu University of Technology in KZN," Mahlalela said.
She recalled how she quit her job to start her own business.
"I started working at a pig farm for five years before I decided to quit and start my own business in pig farming in 2015.
"I took the money I got and bought three pregnant pigs. I then secured the provincial department of agricultural funding called Masibuyele Esibayeni Programme, where the department gave me 10 female pigs and one male pig. I'm doing so well in my business," she said.
Mahlalela said she now has about 100 pigs on her farm.
"It takes over 100 days for a piglet to grow into a pig; then I sell them to supermarkets, individuals and people who want to start their own businesses," she said.
Mahlalela currently employs three people on a full-time basis.
She said she had a dream to grow her business and create more jobs.
"If we can have a food processing plant here in Mpumalanga where we can - under Legend Piggery - make all the products that are made from pork, that will be a dream come true," said Mahlalela.
Crop farmer creating food security for his community
The child of farm workers, Gil Wilson (35) has gone on to become a maize farmer with workers of his own.
She recently scooped three awards - Mpumalanga Female Farmer of the Year with R300,000 in prize money, the Ministerial Special Award on Youth in Agriculture and received an additional R40,000 and was also named Best Small Holder where she was given R150,000.
"I'm over the moon. Yes, one wanted to do well in agriculture, but this is what is going to push me more to do my best. I'm going to invest all the winnings to Legend Piggery for it to triumph.
"My advice to young females is an issue of choosing careers because we want to keep manicures and pedicures, will not solve our problems.
"Let's stand up as women and get into agriculture and feed the nation," said Mahlalela.
Mpumalanga MEC for agriculture, rural development and environmental affairs Vusi Shongwe said he was happy that young women in this year's awards showed an interest in farming.
"Our purpose is to recognise females who play a part in agriculture...
"I wish all the winners the best, especially our overall Female Farmer of the Year who will represent the province later this year.
"We are sure men have something to learn from these women..." said Shongwe.

I've written about my issues with anxiety and depression on this blog before, but I want to talk about a specific problem that arose out of my depression that I wasn't aware of until recently. I'm a bit ashamed of it, but I'm proud of myself for being aware of the issue so that I can be more cognizant of it.
I was compulsively buying books whenever I'd feel anxious or sad in order to get a brief flash of pleasure.
Looking back on the last couple of years, I've realized that I've been doing this for a long time. I've always been surrounded by stacks of (mostly unread) books and it's nearly impossible for me to pass up any book that is on sale. There are days when I'm feeling really down and hopeless, but also restless, and on days like that it's not uncommon for me to go to a thrift store just to buy discounted books.
Amazon Kindle deals have been absolutely dangerous for me over the years. I have over 500 ebooks on my Kindle, almost all of which I bought because they were discounted down to $1-3. I've read perhaps 5% of them, which is shameful. I still want to buy Kindle books occasionally because they are a wonderful deal, but for the past couple of weeks, every time I'm about to hit "Buy Now," I ask myself if I need to pay money to read this or if I can't just pick it up from the library. Every time I've asked myself this question, I've opted for the library. It's not a fix, but it's progress.
I found a way to justify any purchase.
Even when I really shouldn't have been spending money, I would talk myself into buying a book because I had a 15% off coupon or because I had to read that exact book right now. This is one of the hardest things for me. Hell, I literally found myself doing this today while browsing YA fantasy hardcovers on Amazon. It got especially bad in the first few months of starting this blog when I felt justified in buying all the books because I was now a book blogger.
The last decade has had a lot of lows and just a few high points in terms of my mental health. I'm finally getting the help I need thanks to the fact that I have health insurance for the first time in ten years. Over the years I fell back on several forms of unhealthy self-medication, such as smoking copious amounts of marijuana and drinking to the point of blacking out several times a month. Thankfully, those dangerous coping mechanisms are years behind me. These days, I have two things I resort to when I'm feeling down: books and food.
I have a long way to go before I would say that I no longer use purchasing books as a relief for depression, but I feel like just being aware of it has made me think more about my habits the last couple of weeks. I've purchased books in March, but not at the rate that I had done in January or February (in February I'm pretty sure I bought around 40 books). I'm embracing the library more (which I should have been doing all along!) and trying to focus on reading the books I already have.
I love books and reading. Reading is healthy and is a great coping mechanism to escape from things that are causing you stress. I want to embrace that aspect of reading over the blind purchasing of books I don't need in order to get that brief ten-second boost in my brain.
Has anyone else ever had this problem? Let's talk about it in the comments. I'd love some advice on how to deal with this.
I can certainly go quite book buying happy. I do miss the days where I only have a few books on my TBR and went to the shop to buy a new one when I finished my current read.
My goal in book buying is to eventually have the self-control to be able to go buy a single new book once I've finished the one before it.
But I'm glad you can get the help you need and deserve now. I'm currently in the process of getting that myself.
Thank you! I'm glad you're getting help as well! I do the same thing with online shopping, especially on Book Outlet. For some reason I still get a bit of satisfaction from adding them to the cart, even if I'm not actually buying them.

Q: Descontar un pago a una deuda total C# MySQL Tengo una tabla llamada inmuebles con los campos idinmueble, nropartida, deuda, y otra llamada pagos con los campos idpago , fechapago, nropartida y monto.
Mi problema es que a la hora de llenar el textbox de monto y darle a un botón que se llama registrar pago. Necesito que una consulta tome el valor de inmuebles.deuda, le reste el pagos.monto ingresado en el textbox actualice inmuebles.deuda con la resta realizada y cree un nuevo pago con los datos fechapago, nropartida y monto ingresados. es posible hacer todo esto en una sola consulta? o como haria para hacer todo eso solo pulsando registrar pago?

A: Primero de todo bienvenido al foro.
Realmente necesitas ejecutar 2 sentencias, una para actualizar la tabla inmuebles y otra para insertar el pago en la tabla pagos.
Hay varias formas de hacerlo con una sola sentencia pero si estás aprendiendo pueden no ser obvias y a continuación te dejo algunas.
1 Crear un trigger que al insertar en la tabla pagos realize el ajuste de la deuda correspondiente.
2 Crear un Stored procedure para llamarlo y que realize las dos acciones pero con una simple llamada.
Existen algunas opciones más pero a mi parecer pueden ser más complicadas.

Girl, 16, raped and burned to death in India's Jharkhand state
A 16-year-old girl has been raped and burned to death in India in the latest case of sexual violence to hit the country.
The teenager was abducted from her home in Jharkhand state on Thursday and raped in a forest while her family was away at a wedding, police said.
The victim's family reported the attack to village council leaders who ordered two accused men to do 100 sit-ups and pay a fine of 50,000 rupees (£552).
Police said the punishment enraged the men, who beat the girl's parents before setting her on fire.
"The two accused thrashed the parents and rushed to the house where they set the girl ablaze with the help of their accomplices," a police spokesman said.
Fourteen men have been arrested in connection with the incident but the main suspect is still on the run, the spokesman added.
India has been shaken by a series of sexual assaults since 2012
Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das said he was shocked by the "gruesome incident" and called for stringent action against the culprits.
India has been shaken by a series of sexual assaults since 2012, when a student was gang-raped and murdered on a New Delhi bus.
Protests have been held across the country since horrific details emerged last month about an eight-year-old girl being gang-raped and murdered in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Some 40,000 rape cases were reported in India in 2016, with many more believed to have gone unreported because of stigma attached to sex crimes in the country.
The Indian government has passed a series of laws increasing punishment for rape of an adult to 20 years in prison and introducing the death penalty for anyone found guilty of raping girls aged under 12.

India has began its ambitious project of vaccinating its 1.3 billion citizens – as it aims to administer 300 million jabs by August.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the voluntary vaccination programme at 3,006 locations across the country this morning.
About 300,000 health workers will be vaccinated today and the numbers will increase as more capacity is enhanced every week.
In the first phase, vaccines will be given to 30 million health and frontline workers for free.
In its second phase 270 million citizens over the age of 50 and those under 50 with other health problems will be vaccinated.
There is an air of relief and optimism at the Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality hospital as the first beneficiaries line up for the jab.
There is also relief and celebration by health workers at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital in Delhi.
Biji Tony was the first nurse to be vaccinated at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital in Delhi
Staff nurse Biji Tony, the first to be vaccinated there, told Sky News: "I am so relieved. It has been a very difficult year, working day and night.
"We've stayed away from family and loved ones. We are human as well. Now all this ends. We are not afraid anymore after we get the second dose."
Dr Suresh Kumar, the medical superintendent at the LNJP hospital, told Sky News: "Today is a historic day and like a festival, we are feeling as if we have won a super world cup.
"But it has come with a lot of struggle. We have lost doctors and staff to the virus. But now we are ready to win the COVID war."
The two vaccines, the Oxford-AstraZeneca's "Covishield" and Bharat Biotech's "Covaxin", were approved for emergency use by the Central Drugs and Standards Committee (CDSCO) on 3 January.
Millions of doses of Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India at its Pune plant, and Covaxin, produced by Bharat Biotech in Hyderabad, were transported under security to various cities across the nation.
The approval of the latter has raised concerns amongst scientists and epidemiologists as third phase trails are still ongoing and its efficacy has not yet been published.
Prime minister Modi said: "The DCGI (Drug Controller General of India) gave approval after they were satisfied with the data of the two vaccines. So stay away from rumours."
Professor KS Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation Of India (PHFI) – a non- profit organisation and a watchdog of public health – said: "Ideally at the best of circumstances one should see the phase three trials completed and efficacy data fully evaluated and out in the public domain through scientific publications as well as other scrutiny.
"However in this pandemic situation it was felt that given the large number of persons in India that need to be immunised the potential escalation of the epidemic due to mutants. I think the policy makers have taken the decision, I too wish the trial could have been completed earlier.
"But as far as the safety is concerned it has been adequately proven for Covaxin. But anyone who has doubts of the vaccine need not take it even if it is offered, they can decline it."
Healthcare workers are being prioritised in the vaccine roll-out
Indian Health Ministry spokesperson Rajesh Bhushan said: "There is no option for recipients to choose which vaccine they want to be inoculated with."
Preparations for these dry runs took place in more than 700 districts across the country with mock transportation and dummy injections by more than 150,000 health staff.
The country has 29,000 cold-chain points, 240 walk-in coolers, 70 walk-in freezers, 45,000 ice-lined refrigerators, 41,000 deep freezers and 300 solar refrigerators for storage.
Immunising a country that is almost 2,000 miles north to south and the same east to west with over a billion people will be a herculean task.
Reaching remote and rural areas where most of India lives and where the infrastructure is wanting will be a challenge.
Added to this is a second jab required to complete the cycle.
And then there are the many summer months where temperatures soar to 40C (104 F) or more in most parts of the country.
It has been a tragic winter for the Sharma household

Families have no time for mourning as farewells are hurried and from afar due to restrictions.
Traditional last rites are rushed under the overbearing shadow of the virus, the bereavement a mere formality.
Avneesh told Sky News: "It has jolted our family, it has shaken our roots, even I had to go on medication and am still feeling low myself.
"I hope and pray that this virus is removed through the use of vaccination and others don't have to suffer what our family has gone through."
With more than 10.5 million cases, India is the second worst affected country after the United States.
Almost 152,000 deaths have been reported so far and the need for a vaccine has never been as critical as now.
With shaking hands, broadcast live to the nation, a doctor administered Indonesia's first COVID-19 vaccination.
The recipient was President Joko Widodo, a man who hopes to get 181.5 million Indonesians vaccinated this year.
It's a huge challenge, almost three times the population of the UK and so far one of the largest rollouts in the world.
But the nation's vaccination drive, which started this week using CoronaVac, a jab from Chinese manufacturer Sinovac Biotech, bucks the current trend by injecting under-60s first.
You can find out more about Indonesia's COVID-19 vaccine drive on the Sky News Daily Podcast
Dr Siti Nadia Tarmizi, COVID-19 vaccination spokesperson for Indonesia's Ministry of Health, told Sky News: "18 to 59 is the age group that gets most infected by COVID-19 and mostly without symptoms. We know between 18 and 59 is a more productive age group, so if we are targeting this age group first, we will protect them from COVID-19, which means they can, of course, go to work.
"And then secondly, by protecting this age group, we will cut the transmission."
Indonesia has recorded more than 25,400 deaths and 880,000 infections making it Southeast Asia's worst outbreak.
Testing levels are low, so experts warn the actual infection rate could be much higher.
Starting with frontline workers, under-60s will be inoculated first not only because the government hopes protecting workers will boost the economy, but it's also waiting for more safety data about how CoronaVac impacts the elderly.
A medical official prepares to administer a vaccine dose
In Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta, where people who refuse the jab will face fines, some are wary.
"If I had the option to refuse the vaccine, I would say no," said Guntur Dwi Adiputra, "For sure I will be afraid to have it because I don't know the side-effects."
"I understand the perspective economic reasons, however, I feel that those people, productive people, they could wait because they're not the ones risking their lives first, the elderly are the ones at stake right now," added local resident Angel Utomo.
Officials on steps
Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and the pandemic has left many struggling financially.
Mohammed Santri's catering business previously sold more than 200 meals a day, but since the coronavirus outbreak it's dropped to just 10.
The family now runs it alone after all the paid staff had to be let go.
"I hope that the vaccination process will be implemented as soon as possible because when people are healthy and they can go back to work then I will receive orders again," Mr Santri said.
CoronaVac is easier for many developing countries to store than some of the other vaccines as it can be kept in the fridge.
Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines which have been given the green light in the UK, the Sinovac-made jab uses inactivated coronavirus.
A monk speaks to an official
Patients are injected with killed viral particles to expose the body's immune system to the virus and teach it to make antibodies.
Interim data in Indonesia put the efficacy at 65.3% but extended results from Brazil found it to be just 50.4% effective, barely over the 50% needed for regulatory approval.
Researchers at Sao Paulo's Butantan Institute who conducted the trials previously stressed it was 78% effective against mild to severe cases.
Sinovac Biotech is Indonesia's biggest vaccine supplier, and while the country is buying other brands, officials explained the Chinese could deliver fastest.
"I think the main reason why Sinovac is being used in Indonesia is that they committed to deliver this vaccine at the end of December 2020, while the others were still in the negotiation process," Dr Nadia said.
"We plan to have 181.5 million of the population vaccinated, which means we need like 426 million doses of vaccine which is a really huge number and it may not be able to be fulfilled by only having one vaccine type or vaccine factory."
A military official receives his COVID-19 vaccine
While many countries in the West are focusing on European and American-made vaccines, in Asia, nations including Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand are all starting with Sinovac.
Dicky Budiman, an epidemiologist at Australia's Griffith University, said China has deliberately positioned itself to fill a gap in the market and supply developing countries which would otherwise face a long wait.
"Vaccine diplomacy has become one of the tools for big countries to improve and increase their power in the region. China will use this as a diplomatic power, that's for sure," he said.
But with more than 270 million people to protect and surging cases, it's a power game Indonesia's willing to play, with leaders hoping this will be a turning point in the fight against the pandemic
Ice cream has been found to have been contaminated with COVID-19 in China after three samples tested positive for the virus.
Anti-epidemic authorities in north China's Tianjin Municipality are tracing people who may have been in contact with the batches, which were produced by Tianjin Daqiaodao Food Company.
All of the products produced by the firm have been sealed and contained after the samples it sent to the municipal centre for disease control this week tested positive for coronavirus.
Live UK and world COVID news
Initial epidemiological investigations indicate the company produced the batch of ice cream using raw materials, including milk powder imported from New Zealand and whey powder imported from Ukraine.
Dr Stephen Griffin, a virologist based at the University of Leeds, told Sky News the development was unlikely to be a cause for "panic".
"It's likely this has come from a person, and without knowing the details, I think this is probably a one-off," he said.
"Of course, any level of contamination is not acceptable and always a cause for concern, but the chances are that this is the result of an issue with the production plant and potentially down to hygiene at the factory."
He explained that the cold temperature that ice cream was stored at, and the fact it contains fat, could explain why the virus had survived on the samples taken – but suggested the news should not prompt major alarm.
"We probably don't need to panic that every bit of ice cream is suddenly going to be contaminated with coronavirus," he said.
Sky team stopped from investigating COVID origins
The company's 1,662 employees have been placed under quarantine and underwent nucleic acid testing on Thursday following guidance from the Tianjin Center for Disease Control.
Authorities said the company produced 4,836 boxes of COVID-contaminated ice cream, 2,089 of which had been sealed away in storage.
A total of 935 boxes of the ice cream, out of 2,747 boxes that entered the market, were in Tianjin and only 65 were sold to markets.
Authorities said residents who may have bought the product should report their health and physical movements to those in their communities.
The city has also informed the market regulation authorities in other provinces where the ice cream was sent so it can be traced.

Leonids 1998: Visual Results
Sino-Dutch Leonid Expedition 1998
Hans Betlem and Olga van Mil
During the period November 13 to November 19, 13185 meteors were observed by a team of 11 visual observers at several locations in the Peoples Republic of China. Table 1 gives a summary of all observers, data, nights e.g.
Magnitude distributions
All observations (counts, limiting magnitudes eg.) en magnitude distributions per night per observer have been archived electronically for further analysis.
About half of the observations was done during the night November 16/17: the famous "Night of the Fireballs" which causes some complications for the reduction. The typical magnitude distribution for this night needs a separated treatment of the data. Almost half of the observed number of meteors were zero magnitude or brighter. A separated determination of the r-parameter for the shower for this particular night is therefore needed.
For all observers separated magnitude distributions were computed for the nights 16/17 and 17/18 november, individual r-values per observer and mean r-values per night were computed.
Figure 1 shows the log N(m)/P(M) versus M plot. [1]; P(M) values were used from [2]. R can be determined as the inverse log of the slope of the graph.
Table 2 gives the determined values for r per observer and mean values per night. The influence of the high numbers of bright meteors is clearly reflected in the extremely low value of around 1.50 for the individual r-determinations for the night November 16/17. For the "official" maximum night November 17/18 r-values are closer to normal.
ZHR data
Using individual r-values the Zenithal Hourly Rates (ZHR) values were computed for periods of 15 minutes for those periods where sufficient data are available and for periods of 30 minutes for some periods in the first hours after midnight with lower numbers of meteors due to a lower radiant altitude. Individual perception coefficients Cp were derived under assumption that SCp should be 1.0. This implies that the mean of all observations has been taken as standard observer which will yield more reliable results than assuming one (experienced) observer as standard.
Cp values for several observers are also given in table 2. ZHR values are corrected with these values to fit all observers together. One must realize that a Cp value below 1.0 means that the observer noted more than the average numbers of meteors (or underestimated the limiting magnitude and thus overcorrected these numbers) and a Cp value more than 1.0 implies the opposite.
The same values for Cp have been used for the whole observation period.
Figures 2 and 3 show activity (ZHR) curves for the Leonids for the nights 16/17 and 17/18, based on all observations using all individual r- and Cp values. The first night shows a steady increase of the Leonid activity up to a ZHR between 250 and 300 in the Chinese morning twilight at solar longitude 234°.40. There is a remarkable dip around solar longitude 234°.32. The second night shows decreasing rates indicating that the highest ZHR took place during the Chinese day time. A significant peak is visible near solar longitude 235°.32.
Figure 4 shows the Leonid activity over the whole period. It is clear that rates stayed below 25 until November 16 and dropped down to about 40 during the night November 18/19.
Flux numbers
The meteor influx is defined as the number of zero magnitude meteors per hour per square kilometer. The flux represents the real number of meteors rather than the observed numbers as is represented in the ZHR. A higher r-value (faint meteors) implies a larger correction from ZHR to flux numbers as a lower number as occurred during the night 16/17 november.
Figure 5 shows the flux numbers for the Leonids 1998 for the nights 16/17 and 17/18 november. The values n(m) represent the total number of meteors in the range from -10 to +5 hitting the earth's surface (1,33 x 1014 km2) per hour. Flux numbers are much large in the second night, mainly due to the higher r-value.
All relevant data are represented in table 3.
Figure 6 and 7 show the flux numbers during both nights. The night 16/16 shows no significant fine structure; the peak at solar longitude 235°.32 during the second night is now even more prominent.

Scarlett's career day helps Stanford beat No. 15 Washington
By MICHAEL WAGAMAN - Oct. 06, 2019 03:18 AM EDT

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Cameron Scarlett had the best day of his career, yet all Stanford coach David Shaw wanted to talk about was the fifth-year senior's blocking on a pass play early in the second quarter that led to a Cardinal touchdown.
"That was the biggest challenge we gave Cam this year, was that he needs to be a great pass protector," Shaw said. "We're faking on the left side and the safety blitz came on the right and Cam came all the way down and made a great block and allowed us to get that ball off. I can't say enough about where Cam Scarlett is right now. Just playing such great football."
Scarlett rushed for a career-high 157 yards and a touchdown, quarterback Davis Mills had another impressive game in place of injured starter K.J. Costello before apparently getting hurt himself, and Stanford pulled off its biggest win of the season, stunning No. 15 Washington 23-13 on Saturday night.
The Cardinal (3-3, 2-2 Pac-12) extended their home winning streak to six games, dating to 2007, against the Huskies with a plodding, methodical offense that kept Washington quarterback Jacob Eason on the sidelines for long chunks of the game.
"It's very satisfying but by no means are we satisfied," Scarlett said. "It felt good to get the win. We had so many guys go down and get hurt. But it feels good. We needed that and we're going to build on it."
Stanford dominated Washington (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) in nearly every offensive category and held an 18-minute edge in time of possession.
"They played more physical than we did and they did a better job," Huskies coach Chris Petersen said. "We have to get better in the passing game. We needed touchdowns. Field goals are not going to do against this team."
Jet Toner added three field goals to help the Cardinal, who have won back-to-back games following a three-game losing streak.
Scarlett carried the ball 33 times, including nine times on Stanford's final drive when the Cardinal worked five minutes off the clock to seal the win.
"He's playing the best football of his career right now," Shaw said. "Just handed the ball to him repeatedly against loaded boxes even when they knew we were running the ball. Broke tackles, finished runs physically. Just an outstanding game by Cam Scarlett."
Mills was crisp until coming out of the game for an unknown reason in the middle of a scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Mills was 21-of-30 passing for 293 yards and a touchdown, but spent the final 9 minutes on the sidelines with what appeared to be a bag of ice wrapped around his left calf. Jack West ran the offense down the stretch.
Stanford got a big lift from its defense, which harassed Eason into an interception and forced a punt on Washington's first two drives in the fourth quarter.
Eason was 15 of 35 for 181 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
But the Huskies were held to one touchdown and two field goals while the defense eventually wore down.
"We have to be ready to bend but don't break," Washington defensive back Myles Bryant said. "At the start of the game, they made plays and got down on us but we held them to field goals. Then they started scoring touchdowns."
Washington: The Huskies had seemingly gotten over their early issues and won three straight before falling to an unranked team for the second time this season. For a plethora of reasons, this one is more difficult to swallow than the loss to Cal in the Pac-12 opener. This was a game that Washington was counting on to fatten up in the standings. Now, the conference championship seems like a pipe dream.
Stanford: There wasn't much flashiness or big plays. Just a steady stream of Scarlett, efficient passing from Mills and consistent defense across the board. Cardinal coach David Shaw's teams are 26-18 when facing Top 25 opponents.
Washington was in position to move up a spot or two after No. Iowa lost to No. 19 Michigan earlier in the day. Instead, the Huskies are headed in the opposite direction and could fall out of the rankings entirely.
MAKING IT COUNT
Stanford did a decent job pressuring Eason early, but the Cardinal didn't get to Washington's quarterback until midway through the third quarter when linebacker Gabe Reid dropped Eason for an 18-yard loss on a third-and-5 play. Washington's ensuing punt failed to cross midfield, setting up Scarlett's short touchdown run.
NOT HIS DAY
Salvon Ahmed, whose 89-yard touchdown against USC last week was the Huskies longest running play in 25 years, wasn't much of a factor against Stanford and spent most of his night on the sideline while Richard Newton took the bulk of carries. Ahmed, who has been nursing a leg injury that forced him to sit out the BYU game on Sept. 21, resurfaced in the fourth quarter, shortly before Newton went down with an unknown injury.
"Most people wouldn't understand a team like us playing with confidence but that's fine. People don't have to understand." - Stanford coach David Shaw.
Washington plays at Arizona on Saturday before coming home for a pivotal home game against No. 13 Oregon the following week.
Stanford gets an extended break before hosting UCLA in a Thursday night game on Oct. 17.

Oh NO! I chipped my tooth! Chipping or cracking a tooth can be caused by many things and account for the majority of dental injuries. Maybe you crashed your bike and fell onto the concrete, tripped over your own feet and hit your mouth on the coffee table or maybe you were chewing hard candy, ice or using your teeth to open something or cut fishing line. Whatever the reason, don't worry, your smile and your tooth can be fixed.
It's important to fix a chipped or broken tooth as soon as it occurs to ensure it doesn't cause additional problems and increase costs down the road.
So, what are your options for fixing the damage? At McOmie Family Dentistry, we see lots of patients each year with chipped, damaged or broken teeth. The good news is our skilled, professional dentists and our friendly trained staff, know exactly how to restore your smile.
The right restorative or cosmetic dental treatment for your situation will depend on how severely your tooth or teeth are damaged. But, you do have several choices for getting your tooth and confidence in your smile back.
How Do People Get Chipped, Cracked or Broken Teeth?
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body, but it can still be damaged, cracked or broken when you do things like mentioned above. In addition to trauma, cavities and tooth decay can also weaken your teeth over time and cause them to break when chewing hard food and using your teeth in ways you shouldn't.
As a dentist, we categorize broken teeth in many ways. The following will give you an idea of how we BREAK them down (Sorry I couldn't resist the bad pun).
These are small vertical cracks in your teeth. They can be caused by many things like chewing on ice or even an imbalanced bite. Craze lines are technically tiny cracks in your teeth, but they are not a major cause for concern like a crack that has penetrated deep into the tooth that causes real damage to your teeth. If you have a tooth with craze lines and its become sensitive, then it may be more than just a typical craze line and is developing into a real crack that needs attention.
When a portion of a tooth's chewing surface breaks off, usually around a filling, it's known as a fractured cusp. A fractured cusp usually, doesn't cause much pain and rarely damages the pulp. We typically will put a new filling or crown over the damaged tooth to preserve it.
When a crack stretches from the chewing surface vertically approaching the root, we refer to this as a cracked tooth. A broken tooth left untreated will only get worse and usually results in tooth loss. Early diagnosis and the proper treatment are essential in saving cracked teeth.
A split tooth is what usually happens if you leave a cracked tooth untreated. Like a cracked tooth there is a crack, but it is split into two pieces by a crack that runs through the tooth. A split tooth involves damage to the root itself and depending on the size and location of the crack will ultimately determine if any part of the tooth can be saved, but typically it will need to be extracted. Dr. McOmie has been known to save these teeth with some amazing treatments. We always do our best to preserve a tooth whenever possible.
These type of fractures are the worse scenario. This is when a tooth breaks straight down the root. Often it splits down the middle just like a piece of firewood. This is the one area of dentistry where there is not much that can be done and these teeth need to be extracted. Frequently these types of fractures are associated with a past endodontic treatment commonly called root canal therapy. Sometimes a vertical root fracture can have few symptoms, and it is noticeable by changes in the gums being red or swollen. Other times the tooth hurts when the fracture occurs, but then only hurts when biting on it. These typically don't throb and ache like an infected tooth does.
Now that you know a little more about what types of cracks exist in the world of dentistry lets discuss how best to treat these painful situations. The dentists at McOmie Family Dentistry can recommend which of the following treatments are right for you and your mouth.
For smaller chips, we use tooth bonding to improve the cosmetic appearance and protect a chipped tooth. Bonding is a tooth-colored resin material which is applied and sculpted over the healthy area of the tooth to rebuild the tooth where the tooth was chipped. We first roughen up the remaining tooth enamel then place tooth bonding agent and desensitizer and then form the composite material to create a natural-looking addition. Then, a high-intensity curing light is used to harden the composite. Then we shape it to look natural and blend in color. Next, we polish it to make it blend in with the shine of a natural tooth.
Bonding can usually be done in a single office visit and significantly improve the appearance of a tooth. Depending on the location and size of the chip, bonding can offer a good long term solution. However, because veneers are stronger and last longer, many people choose veneers over bonding.
If your chipped tooth is more cosmetically serious in nature and you want a restoration that can last decades, then a dental veneer is the perfect solution.
Veneers are essentially thin porcelain covers on the front of your teeth and produce a very appealing, natural look. At our dentist office, we use porcelain veneers because they deliver the most attractive and realistic results possible. Veneers have many advantages over other procedures, such as they are more conservative on the tooth structure than a crown. They are more color stable than bonding. A veneer is very strong and will last a quite a long time. Veneers done at McOmie Family Dentistry are done with the latest materials, materials that are well researched and proven but have the ability to provide a natural beautiful smile. We have master ceramists located in the USA fabricate our veneers using a layering technique that proves to provide natural strong, beautiful results. Veneers are the finest cosmetic solution for a chipped or broken tooth. But they can also be used to cover stained or misshapen teeth. Veneers are the gold standard of cosmetic dentistry and have a 40-year track record.
To prepare the teeth for veneers, we first need to gently remove some of the existing tooth's outer structure so we can avoid a significant unnatural final appearance.
Many dentists still use old impressions process where you have to bite down on trays filled with gross tasting impression material, but we use a 3d digital scanner to get a highly accurate digital image of your teeth. Before sending to the lab to have your veneers created, we will discuss the size, shape, and shade of your veneer to best match your smile and overall desired appearance.
We will place temporary veneers until the next appointment where we will remove the temporary veneers, and then bond the new veneers to the front of your teeth. This process usually takes about two weeks.
If you have a badly chipped or cracked tooth or residual pain associated with eating or drinking, a crown may be just what you need.
Crowns, are similar to veneers and are also tooth-colored covers for the teeth. The big difference between crowns and veneers is that a crown covers the entire tooth, while a veneer only covers the front part of the tooth. When a broken tooth causes a significant portion of tooth loss, we will typically use a crown instead of a veneer. Crowns can correct the shape of the tooth and help quickly restore your smile while preventing additional damage like tooth decay or exposed nerves.
At our dental office, we create custom crowns for each patient made specifically to match the rest of your teeth using tooth-colored porcelain that looks completely natural and will last a very long time. In some cases, if we use a Bruxzir crown it can last a lifetime.
Check out this video of a BruxZir crown hammer test. It is amazing how strong these crowns are.
Patients are given anesthesia to make the procedure comfortable and pain-free. We then prepare the tooth by removing some of the existing tooth structure to make room for the crown. Once the tooth is ready, we will take a digital scan of your tooth and surrounding area, which will be sent to our lab and used to make the permanent crown. We will then provide a temporary crown so you can continue to eat and protect the area. When the permanent crown is ready, we will test fit and make any adjustments then cement the new crown in place. At McOmie Family Dentistry it usually takes one week to get the crown completed.
In situations where you have a crack in your tooth that is extended into the pulp, root canal therapy is the best treatment option. Root canal treatment is an excellent way to relieve pain from an infected or inflamed tooth caused by a crack or chip in the tooth.
When a root canal or endodontic treatment is performed, the infected or inflamed pulp is extracted, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, then filled and sealed with gutta-percha which is a rubber-like material. The tooth's surface is then restored with a core build-up, and then a crown is done to protect it from breaking and restore normal tooth function.
It is normal for our patients to be amazed at how easy a root canal is. There are bad stories abound about root canal therapy, that is not the case with modern dentistry. A root canal procedure normally lasts about 40 minutes start to finish, and that includes doing the crown. We pride ourselves in making a molehill out of a mountain. Most people think it is going to be hard and hurt; they are pleasantly surprised and happy they no longer hurt once we are done.
If you have a tooth that has cracked just before or below the surface of the gum line, you will need to have the tooth removed and replaced with a dental implant. Of course, we could also do a bridge after extracting the tooth, but that will compromise the surrounding healthy teeth, so a dental implant is usually a much better option.
Dental implants are a permanent replacement for your missing teeth. They are secured into your jawbone with a titanium post in the gumline, and then a dental crown is placed on top of the implant that looks and feels just like a real tooth.
Dr. McOmie will surgically place biocompatible titanium implant into your jawbone which will act as the new root of your tooth. Although every patient is different, it can take up to 6 months for the jawbone to fuse with the titanium screws. This time allows for a durable, long lasting foundation. However, our average time from placing the implant to a completed procedure with a new crown is about two months. Sometimes in as little as two weeks. It all depends on the stability of the implant at placement time, which is determined by the density of the bone. The denser the bone, the more stable the implant.
Once the bone has fused to the implant, we will take a digital scan of your teeth and the implant to have a custom crown made for your implant. About two weeks later the crown will be done for your implant. The crown will be attached to the implant and function just like a natural tooth. Most people that have had an implant procedure done at McOmie Family Dentistry can't remember which tooth is the implant. They are natural looking and match the surrounding teeth. They look like the grew there.
To possibly save your tooth, avoid more damage and potential infection, It's important to see your dentist right away if you have a chipped or damaged tooth.
Getting a chipped tooth is a pretty common dental issue, but there are several effective treatments available to fix the damage. Call McOmie Family Dentistry 423-899-1112 today and make an appointment to get your tooth repaired by our expert dental team.


When designing educational computer games, designers usually consider target age, interactivity, interface and other related issues. They rarely explore the genres which should employ into one type of educational game. Recently some digital game-based researchers attempt to combine game genre with learning theory. Different researcher use different pedagogy conceptions. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the appropriate computer genre in designing effective educational computer games that can be used as ;learning tools in Thai undergraduate classrooms by integrating the learning conceptions from the previous work of those researchers. The following steps are used to conduct this study: summarize the survey of Thai students' opinions toward game genre; analyse the characteristics of genre of computer game; match those characteristics of genre with learning theories; and propose the conceptual model from the comparison. The results of this analysis can be used as a guideline for educational computer game designers in considering appropriate genres of game for educational purpose.

DONALD TRUMP'S KIM JONG UN MEETING ACHIEVED NOTHING AND NORTH KOREA ISN'T DESTROYING WEAPONS SITES, CLASSIFIED REPORT REVEALS
The agreement signed Tuesday between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un left many open questions about how the two countries will pursue denuclearization, according to a classified Israeli government report.
The Israeli foreign ministry report also says that the Trump administration backtracked on many of the demands it had said it would make in the run-up to the meeting with Kim, according to some of the classified document's highlights published by Axios.
"Regardless of the smiles in the summit many in Japan, South Korea and the U.S. Congress doubt that North Korea is sincere in its intentions. Our assessment is that regardless of President Trump's statements about quick changes that are expected in North Korean policy, the road to real and substantive change, if it ever happens, will be long and slow," the report indicated.
The report also noted that Trump's decision to halt joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea while denuclearization, a proposal known as "freeze to freeze," was a significant reversal of Washington's previous position. China had proposed this option last year and was completely rebuffed by the Trump administration.
The assessment appears to be in line with that of many North Korea experts, who say that the agreement between the Trump administration and the regime of Kim Jong Un contained very few concrete plans of action. Experts also noted that the two regimes likely have very different ideas about what denuclearization means.
South Korea, who lives under constant threat of an attack from North Korea, has been strengthening its military in the wake of the meeting. Seoul will soon finalize the purchase of F-35A stealth aircraft from Lockheed Martin.
Meanwhile, researchers have cast doubt on Trump's claim that North Korea would destroy one of main missile engine testing facilities.
"Chairman Kim has told me that North Korea is already destroying a major missile engine testing site," Trump said in the wake of the summit in Singapore on June 12, without detailing which site Kim had pledged to dismantle. But an analysis by monitoring group 38 North revealed that there is still no evidence that North Korea is destroying anything.
"38 North has conducted a survey of the North Korea's rocket and missile launch and engine test facilities using recent high-resolution satellite imagery and has not yet identified any activity associated with the dismantlement of facilities at Sohae or any other test sites in North Korea," the report said.

Logan Kensing and Carson Smith followed before once-again closer Tom Wilhelmsen pitched the ninth inning for his fourth save. Olmos (1-0) got his first career victory.
The Mariners built a 5-0 lead Monday for Hisashi Iwakuma before the Athletics stormed back for an 11-5 victory in the series opener.
The Mariners could have made it easier on themselves. They put runners at first and third with one out in the eighth inning but came away empty when struggling Kyle Seager popped up a 3-0 pitch before Cruz struck out.
Wilhelmsen made the one-run lead hold up.
Robinson Cano reached a personal milestone with a one-out double in the seventh inning, becoming the first player in history to reach 30 in each of his first 11 seasons.
Cano is also just sixth player in history to have 30 doubles in 11 straight seasons at any point in his career. The last player to do it was Stan Musial, whom completed a 13-year run in 1958.
Smith closed out the seventh inning behind Kensing but found problems in the eighth. Billy Burns grounded a one-out single up the middle and, with two outs, stole second and went to third on Mike Zunino's throwing error.
Brett Lawrie walked on four pitches, which put the go-ahead run on base, but Smith struck out Danny Valencia on three pitches.
Now, regarding Montgomery: He was 4-2 with a 1.62 ERA through seven career starts after working 5 2/3 innings on July 5 in a 2-1 victory at Oakland.
And since: He is 0-4 with an 8.33 ERA in nine starts. The Mariners were winless in his previous eight starts before Tuesday's comeback.
Burns served Montgomery's first pitch into center field for a single and went to second on Mark Canha's grounder to third. After Valencia drew a two-out walk, Josh Phegley punched a to left for a 1-0 lead.
Oakland took command in a four-run second.
Billy Butler and Josh Reddick opened the inning with doubles. After Reddick went to third on a wild pitch, Marcus Semien turned around a 1-2 fastball for a two-run homer.
Still, the Athletics kept coming.
Singles by Burns and Lawrie put runners at first and second with one out and finished Montgomery.
Olmos yielded a sacrifice fly to Valencia, which made it 5-0, before ending the inning. Montgomery's final line: 1 1/3 innings, seven hits, five runs (all earned), one walk and no strikeouts.
The Mariners began their comeback when Cruz led off the fourth inning with a homer to center against Oakland starter Jesse Chavez. It also extended Cruz's career-best streak of reaching base safely to 35 games.
Cruz's blast was his 38th homer of the season and 11th in August — one shy of Ken Griffey Jr.'s franchise record of 12 August homers in 1997.
Chavez (7-13) retired the next two hitters, but Jackson lined a double over Burns' head in center, and Morrison turned on a fastball for a drive to right that stayed just fair for a two-run shot.
The Mariners were back to within 5-3 — and they took the lead with a three-run sixth that knocked out Chavez.
Zunino started the inning with a single and reached third as Chavez retired the next two hitters. After Cruz walked, Cano hit a chopper that tipped off Chavez's glove for an RBI single.
A walk to Seth Smith loaded the bases before Jackson grounded a two-run single up the middle for a 6-5 lead.

OUR DAILY FOOD - WHOLESOME??
"Writing in the American Journal. of Chnical Nutrition for May-June, 195 8, Thaddeus D. Labacki, M.D., F.A.C.P., makes the statement that "the contemporary American diet, a peculiar by-product of civilization and the socio-economics of our culture, is pernicious to the cardio-vascular system not only because of its excess in calories, lipids, and cholesterol but also because it tends to be quite high in salt and in empty calories; i.e., calories derived from highly processed refined carbohydrates and fats (particularly animal fats and hydrogenated saturated vegetable fats), foods rich in energy but low in essential nutrients. Hence, the American diet, despite its high caloric level, is frequently inadequate, both relatively and absolutely, in specific vitamins, essential fatty acids, minerals, and amino acids. It is this acquired "rich" and unbalanced diet that, by altering cholesterol-lipid-liprotein metabolism, creates the decisive prerequisites on a mass scale for the ready genesis of atherosclerosis in the American population."
"In the Journal of the American Medical Association of May 16, 1959, Dr. Philip A. Boyer, Jr., et al states that heart disease continues to be the number one cause of death in the United States and that the rate appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. Equally disturbing is the fact that atherosclerosis, the forerunner of coronary artery disease in 97% of the cases, is no longer solely a disease of the aged. Autopsy studies on soldiers with an average age of 22 years, who were killed in the Korean War, showed atherosclerosis to be present in 77% of the cases. Among adults in the United States, at least, the question is not who has atherosclerosis, but rather who has more and who has less.
"Mildred Schroeder, writing in the San Francisco Examiner, June 7, 1959, tells the story of Dr. Halterman, the dentist, who asserted 'the American Diet is ridiculous.' He decided the only way to obtain proper nutrition was to grow his own food, so he moved to the country and became an organic farmer.
"Doctors and dentists are beginning to learn the importance of good nutrition. The million dollar smear campaign started last year to dub organic farmers as faddists and quacks is backfiring. The merchants of death are finding increasing resistance to their phoney advertising of worthless foods."
Daily evidence piles up and we continue to obtain the backing of more patriotic and authoritative Americans willing to brave the wrath of self constituted "experts," chemical industry and food processor propagandists .,.,,ho are able to overwhelm less vocal doctors and scientists.
"We are the best fed nation on earth."
"We are the healthiest nation on earth."
"Food has nothing to do with disease."
"The quality of the soil has nothing to do with the quality of the foods grown thereon."
"Man 'Can do nothing with the soil to change the quality of a product grown thereon, he can only affect the quantity."

However, a trickle of light is being seen in the last few years whereby there is a slight shift to Natural ways.

French wines still dominate the market, representing 48 per cent of the market share in volume, while Australia takes only 14 per cent of total volume (23 per cent of total value) for bottled wines. The average value of bottled exports of US$7.52 per litre (Source: Wine Australia). This demonstrates the growing recognition of Australian middle to premium wines among Chinese consumers.
Wine consumption in China reached 4.45 billion litres in 2015 (Source: Euromonitor International). New world wines are more easily accepted by consumers because it is easy for the market to understand product classification.
Australian Wine is also well received by the market due to varied price points, stable quality, continuous marketing, industry star rating, etc.
Importers gained confidence from the implementation of CHAFTA in late 2015. The reduction of tariffs also makes Australian wines more competitive in the market.
Chinese middle class consumers are the main market for higher value Australian wines. Their importance lies in their long-term, stable purchasing power, brand awareness and influence on those around them, making them the true driving force of the consumer market in the wine industry.
Wine makers adjust their product portfolios to meet the needs of the market in providing more affordable wines. OEM mid-end wines are seen in the market for distributors to sell in the off trade channels.
Chinese distillers and distributors have begun to OEM their grape wine brands to fix the loss of sales in the rice wine market through existing distribution channels.
France still dominates the wine market with a share of 48 per cent, while Australia has about 14 per cent and is the second largest wine exporter by value and third by volume in 2015.
The best sales in supermarkets are imported wines from RMB60-180.
One major challenge is that Chinese consumers switch from one brand to another rather quickly, exhibiting little brand loyalty. Online sales particularly enable the consumers to source and purchase budget wines.
Wineries that will most benefit from growth in China will be those that demonstrate patience, professional service while building brand awareness and a long term strategy to develop the market with their Chinese partners.
The China Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) came into effect on 20 December 2015, and the existing tariffs on wine of 14 to 20 per cent will be eliminated within the coming years. Importers and distributors expect rapid growth in Australian wine sales as a result of ChAFTA.
For more details on ChAFTA tariff schedules, see the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website. Wine Australia has China-Australia Free Trade Agreement Templates to assist with accessing preferential tariff reductions under ChAFTA.
For other regulations, please visit Australian Grape and Wine Authority which works closely with Austrade to promote a unified message in the market, covering both Australian wine industry marketing and education.
Identify one national agent or several regional agents/distributors to co-operate with as marketing partners.
Analyse the market comprehensively to define the target market segments for your wines.
Differentiate your wine retailing, by defining what might work best via e-commerce channels and traditional channels.
Commit to the market by providing related Chinese language marketing materials, frequent market visits to support importers/distributors, establish regular training sessions for distributors, etc.
Participate in key industry events to build up your brand in the market.
While direct trade sales have shrunk, off trade channels such as supermarkets, wine cellars, convenience stores, and spirit and alcohol stores now play an important role in the market. Online to offline (O2O) is the trendy model for wine and spirit distribution, making the price of import wines more transparent and affordable. Restaurants and wine bars are also seeing increased wine consumption due to changing consumer lifestyle and health choices. Online sales are becoming popular, especially for brands well-known to consumers.
Sophisticated wine consumers who exhibit brand loyalty tend to purchase wine via online channels for value for money. Current methods of distribution through both physical and online sales must be protected to establish brand-awareness for both the importer and Australian exporter.
WeChat and Weibo are other crucial social media platforms to promote wine education and sales.
Austrade's e-commerce in China: A guide for Australian business offers practical advice, facts and insights on how China's e-commerce marketplaces work and how to access them.
Rapid growth in internet retailing is also expected to boost the off-trade sales of wines on online platforms, leaving their offline stores for primarily tasting and storage purpose.
Ultra-premium price range and collectables: A$240+ per dozen.
China's large population and vast area have created differing palates and consumption habits from region to region.
Generally speaking, consumers in north China prefer full-bodied and higher alcohol content wines, while in south China lighter, more refreshing wines are preferred. This is linked to different traditional cuisines and dining habits.
six bottles per case (as opposed to twelve).
SIAL China: A comprehensive exhibition for imported food and beverage products in Shanghai, having run for the past 15 years.
FHC and Prowine China: The two events are held simultaneously with FHC, the Premier Business Exhibition for the global food and hospitality sector having run for the past 22 years, and Prownie China having inaugural event in 2013. The event primarily attracts visitors from both Eastern and Northern China.
TopWine China: A Beijing based imported wine show that started in 2010. The event primarily attracts consumers from Northern China.
InterWine Guangzhou: The Guangzhou International Wine & Spirits Exhibition started in 2005 and is the most popular import wine fair in the Pearl River Delta area, and Southern China at large.
CFDF: A Food & Drinks Fair held since 1955, and is the most influential food and drinks exhibition in China. Although it is largely dominated by domestic food products, the share of international wines has experienced remarkable growth.

I urge everyone to vote wisely. If you have 2 lousy parties running in your constituency–for instance, one party is elitist, money-grubbing, and unconcerned for citizens, and the other party is a bunch of well-meaning morons–remember this: a void vote is also a vote.
How does politics link to food? Well, I long for the day it isn't news when a minister appears at a hawker centre to buy food during elections. It's news because the appearances are rare, right? I also long for the day when a minister goes to a public area for the sake of enjoying the facilities regularly, instead of pulling publicity stunts, shaking hands and carrying babies.
So yeah, the new 24-hour hawker centre at Ci Yuan Community Centre is run by Fei Siong. And The Pasta Stop is by fine-dining Italian restaurant, Ristorante da Valentino, at Grand Stand, Turf Club Road. According to online sources, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited the new hawker centre and ta-bao-ed from this stall. There are photographs of the Prime Minister at the stall front.
The shop's speciality, chicken conchiglie (known better as the shell pasta, $7.50), was tangy and appetizing, but was undercooked and hard. There was hardly any chicken in it.
The spicy fried chicken combo ($10) fared better. Very aromatic when it came, the chicken was crispy. Mr Fitness thought it too salty and didn't like the Hainanese-chicken-rice-chilli-sauce-meets-buffalo-wings spicy dip. But I didn't mind its saltiness, and I thought the spicy dip was refreshing.
The pasta that came along with the chicken had a sauce that was similar to the dip but was less spicy. Rather well done. And the carrots seemed to be soaked in a lemon emulsion which gave it a refreshing taste.
If you add $2.80, you can get a set of garlic bread, mushroom soup, and tiramisu. The mushroom soup was beautiful and subtle, but a little too bland. Nothing salt and pepper couldn't solve.
There were 5 guys in the small kiosk, cooking and taking orders. I have never see a hawker stall with so many people in it. It did seem that too many cooks spoil the soup, because the orders were mixed up; they were good natured but blur.
But the food here has great potential. If they could tweak some things, this stall will be a legend in time. We paid $20 for two persons.
