OCA Commemorates the Legacy of the Honorable March Fong Eu

Washington, DC – OCA released the following statement on the passing of the Honorable March Fong Eu:
March Fong Eu was a pioneer and trail blazer for many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and women of color. As the daughter of Chinese immigrants who operated a laundry business in San Francisco, Eu rose from the career of a dental hygienist to that of a highly regarded public servant whose many accomplishments have shaped both California and National public policy alike. "Though we have lost a great leader and icon in the AAPI community, the legacy of March Fong Eu will continue to live on through all of our work and continued advocacy," said Ken Lee, OCA National Chief Executive Officer.
In the 1950's, Eu was elected to the Alameda County Board of Education after serving as the President of the American Dental Hygienists Association. She was later elected in 1966 to the California State Assembly where she served four terms. As a State Assemblywoman, Eu famously lead the civil rights campaign to ban pay toilets, which she argued discriminated against women as urinals were free, publicly smashing open the chains around a toilet on the Sacramento Capitol steps to prove her point.
In 1974, Eu was elected as Secretary of State of California, the first Asian American woman to hold a state constitutional office in the United States, and went on to be reelected five times serving a total of 20 years. Some of her various accomplishments included voter registration by mail, absentee ballots, and candidate statements in ballot pamphlets. In 1976, she also became the first woman to serve as Governor of California, if only for a single day, while acting Governor Jerry Brown was out of the state. In 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed March as the United States Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia.
OCA National recognizes March Fong Eu's vision for civil rights reform and all of her accomplishments. Eu was a trail blazer as a first-generation API woman and a laundromat daughter who rose to fight bigotry in all forms. In a 1973 speech titled "The Self-Sufficient Woman," then Assemblywoman Eu spoke at Foothill College in the Bay Area of California: "I believe it is about time that some men need to do some honest rethinking about their perspective and prejudices… If those men are to represent the majority of their constituencies ably, they are going to have to have some remedial education." Her passion still resonates in OCA's California chapters whose leadership had the following positive comments to honor Eu:
• "From her East Bay roots, March Fong Eu overcame gender and racial stereotypes, eventually challenging the political status quo on the local school board, as a State Assemblymember and then as Secretary of State. Her tenacious spirit continues to help OCA East Bay to this day. When we asked East Bay City elected officials to pass proclamations recognizing the Chinese Exclusion Act, they did so without hesitation. March Fong Eu built the foundation that makes our goal of creating youth leadership in Oakland Chinatown possible." – Michael Moon, President, OCA East Bay
• "March Fong Eu serves as a tremendous inspiration to many women and Asian Americans. As California's long-serving Secretary of State, she implemented many of the state's modern voter registration practices such as instituting voter registration by mail, providing absentee ballots to those who requested them, posting results on the internet, and including candidate statements in ballot pamphlets. Such innovation practices laid the groundwork for increased voter registration among immigrant and low-income communities. Without Dr. Eu's efforts in transforming such voting practices, OCA-Greater Los Angeles would not have been able to register over 1,500 voters over the past 2 years. Her accomplishments will forever touch the lives of generations of Americans." – Janet Ly, President, OCA Greater Los Angeles (GLA)
• "March Fong Eu was a pathfinder. Whether in the Assembly or as the first female California Constitutional Officer, as, its first female Secretary of State and of color, she not only Lit the Torch for future generations, but she was the innovator, inspiring others to follow, igniting the torch for generations of APIs to come." – Greg Jung, President, OCA Sacramento
• "While saddened by her passing, OCA-SF celebrates the long life of March Fong Eu. We are proud to honor her as a pioneer, being the first female Secretary of State for California and blazing the way for more women and Asian Americans in public service. OCA-SF will honor her legacy by continuing to cultivate the next generation of API youth leaders. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family." – Clifford Yee, Co-President, OCA San Francisco
• "March was elected to the California State Assembly in 1966 which was not too long from when women were given the right to vote and soon after Asians were given the right to vote. She was a trailblazer, a real pioneer, and paved the way for so many other women and Asian Americans. She was always a great role model, and by that encouraged us to step forward in our own way and serve." – Chris Bush, President, OCA San Mateo
• "Former Honorable Ambassador and Secretary, March Fong Eu, was a role model for me growing up as I watched her strongly advocate and trail blaze for both women and Chinese-Americans. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and I thank her for all of her contributions to the API movement." – Gilbert Wong, President, OCA Silicon Valley
Eu's legacy lives on through her daughter, Suyin, four grandchildren, and various nieces and nephews. OCA's thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi will convene an all-party meeting of floor leaders of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on 6 December in Parliament, a day before the commencement of the Winter Session to discuss important legislative business. He will also discuss the issues likely to be taken up in the Winter Session of the Parliament.
"It is my pleasure to invite you for a meeting of Floor Leaders of Political Parties in Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha to discuss Legislative Business and important issues likely to be taken up in the ensuing Winter Session of Parliament," Joshi said in a letter to the floor leaders of both the Houses. The Minister also sought cooperation in ensuring the "smooth functioning" of both Houses.
"I would also like to seek your cooperation to ensure the smooth functioning of both Houses. The meeting shall be held on Tuesday the 6th December 2022 at 11.00 am at Parliament Library Building, Parliament House," he wrote. The Winter Session of Parliament will be held from December 7 to December 29 this year, the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister announced earlier.
The upcoming Winter Session will have a total of 17 working days, he said. Notably, this will be the first session during which Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, will officiate proceedings in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha).
While the government is planning to pass a number of bills during the upcoming session of Parliament, the Opposition will demand a discussion on the pressing matters. On the first day of the session, the members are likely to pay respects to the sitting members who passed away. Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav was one of the leaders whose death had prompted tributes from leaders across political parties.
The Monsoon Session commenced on July 18 and adjourned on August 8. The session saw 16 sessions spread over a period of 22 days. During the session, six Bills were introduced in Lok Sabha. Seven Bills were passed by Lok Sabha and 5 Bills by the Rajya Sabha during the last session. One Bill was withdrawn. The total number of Bills passed by both Houses of Parliament during the session was 5.
During the last session, 5 short-term duration discussions were placed including the price rise in both Houses. The productivity of the Lok Sabha was approximately 48 per cent and that of the Rajya Sabha was approximately 44 per cent. (ANI)

Oklahoma Sooners Heisman winning quarterback Kyler Murray is a dual sport athlete. He played both football and baseball at the collegiate level.
He was drafted ninth overall by the Oakland A's in the 2018 MLB draft but, continued to play football at Oklahoma. It was up in the air whether Murray would report to the A's and play baseball or play football in the NFL.
Today Murray released a statement on his decision.
If Murray is drafted in the first round of the NFL draft, he will become the first athlete ever drafted in the first round of the NFL and MLB.


These pure silver pieces are formed from Precious Metal Clay, which is actually micro fine particles of recycled silver suspended in a clay like binder. I mold, form, and sculpt it into my design, then fire it at 1600° to burn off the binder and fuse the particles together.
My design is then tumbled to polish and strengthen it and an antique patina is added to bring out the details. Finally, it is hand polished to a beautiful shine and a sterling silver 16 gauge jump ring is added. Because each piece is handmade just for you, it may differ slightly from the picture. But that's the beauty of handcrafted over machine crafted. No two pieces are alike.


Diamond Dental Centre offers a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services, with most intended to improve the physical aesthetics of the teeth, gums and mouth. Whatever the problem, cosmetic dentistry can provide a solution, along with a brighter, more beautiful smile. For those who are self-conscious about their teeth due to yellowing, staining, chipping or gaps, cosmetic dentistry may be the ideal solution.
The team at Diamond Dental Centre is focused on patient-centred dental care, where everyone is proactively involved with the patient and where treatment plans and dental procedures are decided collaboratively. The clinic is committed to comprehensive care, whether it's general dentistry or cosmetic dentistry. For Dr. Daniel Diamond and his associates, the priority is always the patient, because building long-term relationships is the aim.
Whatever approach Dr. Diamond and his associates recommend in terms of cosmetic dentistry, the goal is to propose a treatment, procedure or product that best suits the individual patient. The team is highly skilled and patients can be assured of the highest quality dental care.
The days of ugly mercury fillings are long gone. Today, with new, advanced compounds, tooth-coloured fillings are both durable and natural looking. We provide mercury-free restorative procedures to repair teeth and restore full function and aesthetics. These composite fillings are practically invisible and usually require nothing more than a single appointment. Regardless of severity, the dental team can offer restorative solutions that will be effective and long lasting.
Severely damaged teeth can seriously compromise the ability to bite or chew. While physical appearance also suffers, there are many cases in which comprehensive restorative treatment is necessary and required. Dr. Diamond and his associates offer a wide range of viable options and are are always willing to discuss treatment options with their patients.
Many patients feel better with whiter teeth. Unfortunately, lifestyle choices can often contribute to staining and discolouration. At Diamond Dental Centre, we believe that custom-made trays, which are used at home, are the best option available. Dr. Diamond and his associates are happy to explain the benefits of this approach in person.
Dental crowns are designed to rebuild damaged teeth. At the same time, they serve to strengthen a tooth, while significantly enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the mouth. Essentially, a crown becomes the damaged tooth's new exterior.
As an alternative to dental crowns, porcelain veneers offer several benefits: hiding stains/chips; adjusting misaligned teeth; and creating a uniform look throughout the mouth. Porcelain veneers look natural, are long lasting and are easy to apply.
At Diamond Dental Centre, we provide patient-centred dental care and cosmetic dentistry with an emphasis on proper prevention, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Our office environment is professional, with open communication, but without any pressure on patients to make hasty decisions. Dr. Diamond and the dental team always have the patient's well-being in mind, doing their best to ensure optimal dental health for every patient on the roster.


ARLINGTON, VA—CRDF Global and the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET) announced today a partnership agreement to pursue shared goals of improving global health security and mitigating impacts of infectious diseases. The devastation of such outbreaks as Ebola, avian influenza, West Nile virus, and SARS have been acutely felt around the globe. Improving response capacity is a high priority for EMPHNET and CRDF Global.
The agreement was signed on December 14, 2016 at the Kempinski Hotel, Dead Sea, Jordan, during CRDF Global's participation at the Arab Leadership Dialogue on Science Advice to Governments. The event was organized by the Royal Scientific Society and the UN Economic Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Technology Centre, in partnership with the International Network for Government Science Advice and CRDF Global.
CRDF Global is an independent nonprofit organization that promotes international scientific and technical collaboration through grants, technical resources, training, and services. The only public health network in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), EMPHNET partners with ministries of health, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to strengthen public health systems in applied epidemiology, disease control, routine immunization, and emergency outreach and response.
This partnership will support development and capacity building efforts to help Eastern Mediterranean nations improve emergency preparedness and response, including deliberate attacks and natural disasters. CRDF Global and EMPHNET have supported and collaborated with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the Ministry of Health in Jordan since its inception. The organizations also worked together to conduct three workshops in 2016 to strengthen Ukraine's response to disease outbreaks and other public health threats.
"EMPHNET is a highly respected partner, and we're excited by the potential of teaming together to strengthen the public health systems of the Eastern Mediterranean Region," said CRDF Jordan Country Director, Abier Amarin.
"Fundamental to CRDF Global's mission is bringing researchers together across borders to develop solutions to issues impacting our world. Our location in Jordan, in particular, was established to serve as an accelerator for scientific collaborations in the MENA region and we are excited to further our work with local partners," continued Amarin.
The Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET) is a non-profit organization that was established in 2009 with the goal of improving health status in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). It builds national and regional capacities in several priority public health areas, such as outbreak investigation, disease surveillance, rapid response, International Health Regulations (IHR) implementation and more. Its main areas of focus include applied epidemiology and research, non-communicable disease, communicable disease, and health security.


It's hard for Jami De La Cerda not to get emotional when she's talking about her 5 year-old son, Elijah. "I think so many people look at our kids with disabilities and they don't realize the talents and potential they have," she says. Elijah and actress Eva Longoria are on the cover page of a 2011 Toys "R" Us Toy Guide. Longoria's sister, Lisa, also has special needs. The guide is available at stores nationwide. It provides families toy recommendations for children with special needs.
Elijah's big brothers, Isaiah and Samuel are thrilled. "It makes me feel proud for Elijah that he's a star," says Isaiah.
On the day we caught up with the family, Elijah was busy break dancing in the living room while his little brothers tried to keep up. He's energetic and his bright personality is what Toys "R" Us says helped him land the cover.
The family is proud their son is representing so many kids with disabilities but since he's such a natural, they may even consider a little modeling in the future.

X-ray Free Electron Lasers
BioXFEL's mission is to broaden the scientific community's exposure to the development of new techniques for observing molecular machines. Utilizing the capabilities of X-ray free electron lasers, we will work to develop the tools and software applications needed to expand this knowledge outward. These applications will be applied to a wide range of scientific inquiry, including the studies of photosynthesis, enzyme function at the atomic level and drug-delivery proteins.
The HWI Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center
The Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center supports industry, academic, government, and non-profit research institutes, providing single-particle and microcrystal electron diffraction capabilities.
The Cryo-EM Center at HWI provides:
Expert staff – Dr. Qiu-Xing Jiang directs the center with his team with almost 30 years of combined experience.
State of the art instrumentation – A Thermo Fisher Glacios 200 kV microscope with a Volta phase plate, a Falcon 4 Detector for high-throughput grid screening and high-resolution data collection, and a Ceta-D camera for micro-crystal electron diffraction. Thermo Fisher Vitrobot for grid preparation.
BioXFEL has been involved in more than 150 XFEL experimental beamtimes. These experiments are typically up to 5 days long at one of a number of XFEL facilities that have opened in recent years. Most experiments have been performed at LCLS in California, the world's first hard X-ray free electron laser, but the opening of new facilities such as SACLA in Japan, the European XFEL in Germany, PAL XFEL in Korea, and others around the world have enabled greater access to these unique resources. We also have worked to enable some of our technologies at synchrotrons. Links below will take you to our beamtime archives and other useful data analysis resources.
X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) produce a stream of unimaginably intense X-rays and in unimaginably short pulses, so intense and so rapid that they can capture the fastest biological processes. X-ray Free Electron Lasers offer a unique and exciting opportunity to explore biological mechanisms in areas that were previously thought impossible.
The BioXFEL Center benefits from the research performed at several major universities and laboratories.


It's not uncommon for many people, even doctors, to brush off PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) as a make-believe disorder. But it's far from the fabricated psychological complaint some make it out to be. Researchers have used brain imaging to discover PTSD causes identifiable changes to the brain.
Though war veterans garner the most attention for PTSD, the disorder also affects those who have suffered childhood abuse, sexual assault, near death experiences, attack, witnessing violence, and other forms of trauma. In fact, more women than men suffer from PTSD.
PTSD causes a wide range of symptoms that are both emotional and physical in nature. It affects the ability of people to develop healthy relationships, grow in life, and meet their needs. People with PTSD often feel drained from constantly having to cope with ongoing and easily triggered fear responses.
It's not an unwillingness to change that anchors PTSD, but rather structural brain changes. PTSD shrinks some areas of the brain while enlarging another, all in a circuitry that keeps the person in a state of constant fear and hyper arousal.
For instance, brain scans show PTSD sufferers have reduced volume in the hippocampus, the area of the brain on either side of the head responsible for learning and memory.
This causes sufferers to have difficulty distinguishing between past and present memories and experience extreme stress in an environment that resembles that of the original trauma.
Another area that shrinks is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in the inner frontal area of the brain. This area regulates negative emotions in response to stimuli. This explains why PTSD sufferers respond with extreme fear and anxiety to stimuli related to the original trauma.
In the meantime, an area of the brain called the amygdala increases in size and becomes hyperactive with PTSD. The amygdala is in the center of the brain and involved with fear responses. This causes anxiety, extreme stress, and panic in response to stimuli associated with their traumas.
These three areas of the brain form a circuit that, in a healthy brain, is able to respond appropriately to various situations. However, in PTSD, the compromised function of the hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex fails to adequately dampen an over active amygdala.
The result? A brain that is easily startled and triggered into an over reactive fear response.
Now you can see why PTSD makes a person feel out of control when it comes to fear, turning the nervous system into a prison of almost unending stress that affects almost every aspect of life.
Fortunately, the brain is very responsive to rehabilitation and PTSD sufferers can find considerable relief without drugs.
In functional neurology, we use specific exercises and activities to dampen areas of the brain that are over responsive to stress and stimulate those areas that can help control the fear response. Contact my office for more information.

Top 10 Funniest Betty White Bloopers


I was going to write this post yesterday, didn't quite complete it and so it gets an updated with activities of the last 24 hours as well.
Some people had noticed the extra long delay between the first and second betas of Thunderbird 13. Whilst we sometimes don't publish a beta every week, in this case we were busy finishing off a transition that had started some months previously.
The transition has merged the Thunderbird build automation system onto the same system used by Firefox – we are now running side-by-side, using the same hardware.
The whole transition has been a big benefit to Thunderbird, we've brought the Thunderbird build systems up to date, removing a lot of the hacks that were specific to our comm-central based builds. In doing so, we've picked up lots of new things: an up to date tinderboxpushlog, self-serve build apis to allow any developer to request new builds and cancel running ones, the hg share extension reducing check out and build times, the latest release automation which includes automatic emails and better parallelism. I'm sure that's just a small selection.
Ongoing this will help keep Thunderbird much more up to date, we'll be able to keep in sync with Firefox a lot easier when it comes to the mechanics of building, signing etc. I've also got some ideas for where we can add/improve automation for both Firefox and Thunderbird, so I'll be putting those forward soon.
Back to the events over the last 24 hours. Yesterday we finished shipping the second beta of Thunderbird 13, this was the first release that had been run on the Firefox system, and took about a week or two to complete as many parts had been missing or not quite there. A few hours after that I sent the go for the third beta, and guess what, we've just pushed that build out to the beta channel. Apart from a couple of minor hiccups, the automation worked fine. Wow, awesome!
This is a great achievement, and Thunderbird build and release is now in much better shape than it was a few months ago. I'd like to thank John O'Duinn and Chris Cooper for making this happen, and a huge thanks to John Hopkins who I know spent many hours working on the actual transition and the rest of the release engineering team who have been helping out with questions, solutions and fixes.
Did you know there's a Lightning Beta available on the developer channel on AMO for Thunderbird Betas?
If you're running, or wanting to run Thunderbird Beta builds and you want Lightning as well, then head over to the Lightning page on AMO and scroll down to the bottom – you'll see the Development Channel which is what you want to download and install into your Thunderbird Beta.
Once you've done that, updates are automatic. Whenever a new Lightning Beta build is out you'll get it. No more needing to download special builds.
The Lightning folks are working to ensure that whenever a new beta version of Thunderbird is released, there will be a Lightning Beta compatible with it.


When Daniel Bryan was cleared by WWE doctors to return to the ring, it opened up a whole lot of doors for new and exciting matches that could take place in the future. So far, Bryan has faced off with Big Cass, AJ Styles, and a few others, but what about some of the other dream matches? Recently on Instagram, Finn Balor shared some fan art which shows the ultimate in dream matches for WrestleMania 35 and the world would love if it happened.
For anyone who follows Balor on his Instagram, he is quite active on it and usually posts a lot of shots from the ring or on the road. He also enjoys posting pics with fans and teasing them when rumors start flying in the Internet Wrestling Community, but this one may be the best.
A few days ago, Balor decided to share some fan art which is a poster showcasing a match for WrestleMania 35. Of course, there is absolutely nothing scheduled for the event as it is still so far away, but he wouldn't mind seeing this match added to the card by WWE.
In the poster, it simply shows the logo for the big pay-per-view and has Balor facing off against none other than Daniel Bryan.
This is one of those matches that many fans thought would never ever be possible after Daniel Bryan had to medically retire from the ring in early 2016. It was believed that if Balor vs. Bryan were to take place, it would have to happen outside of WWE.
Luckily for everyone involved, Daniel Bryan was cleared by WWE doctors back in March and he has already had a number of matches since that time. Right now, he's hoping to end up with a spot in the Men's Ladder Match at Money in the Bank, but that will be determined in the coming weeks.
That happens to be a match which Finn Balor has already qualified for and has a spot.
For what it's worth, the image on Balor's Instagram is nothing more than some fan art, but it is incredibly well done. Along with that, it is also something that is overly intriguing and an image has riled up so many wrestling fans across the world.
At this time, no one has any earthly idea what is going to happen at WrestleMania 35 next year, but the higher-ups in WWE are certainly brainstorming already. It's possible that they have some ideas in place and are already planning on some of the key matches for the card, but anything could change in the course of a year. With that being said, Finn Balor vs. Daniel Bryan isn't a bad idea for a top bout and this fan-made post should really be something to take into consideration.

Why Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham have been worse off than Crystal Palace this season
Palace may have ten players out injured - but other clubs have had it worse this season
Crystal Palace may be in the middle of an injury crisis, but they have not been the hardest hit club in the Premier League this season.
The Eagles were without ten first team squad members for the trip to face Everton on Saturday, with Palace missing several key men, including Wilfried Zaha, Mamadou Sakho and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
But according to an analysis of football injuries by JLT Specialty, as reported by the Daily Express, Palace are joint sixth on the list of the 20 top flight clubs for the number of injuries suffered this season, up to the end of January.
According to the study, Palace have suffered 24 injuries which have led to players missing at least one match this season - the same number as Watford.
Crystal Palace midfielder joins Huddersfield Town duo in top three in the Premier League for one key statistic
However, five teams have suffered more, with West Ham suffering the most, with 41 injuries so far this campaign.
Arsenal are second on the list with 36 injuries, with Liverpool and West Brom tied in third with 27 injuries each.
Bournemouth make up the top five, with 25 injuries so far this season.
Crystal Palace duo ranked among Premier League's top 50 in-form players
At the other end of the spectrum, Brighton have suffered the fewest number of injuries, with 14 so far this season.

TROPICAL rainforest and wild flowers will take over the cocktail launch of a global eco fashion extravaganza in Port Douglas on Saturday night.
Reef Restoration CEO Stewart Christie heads a list of VIPs who will attend Eco Fashion Week Australia's "Green Carpet" launch at QT Resort.
Radio personality Angie Ayers has been announced as the 2018 Australian Ambassador for the global event, which will be held in Port Douglas from November 4 to 10 this year.
EFWA CEO Cuhal Kuvan Mills, Douglas Shire Mayor Julia Leu and EFWA Ambassador Angie Ayers.
She said a passion for protecting the ocean inspired her involvement.
"I'm so thrilled to be in Port Douglas to represent Eco Fashion Week Australia and show the people of Tropical North Queensland how beautiful sustainability can be," she said.
'With the Great Barrier Reef on one side and the rainforest on the other, this part of the world couldn't be closer to the beauty and majesty of the systems that provide oxygen for the world.
"Our Fashion choices are just one way of helping these struggling systems.
The Green Carpet launch will feature a preview runway show, speakers and jazz music by the Cairns Stage Band.
Douglas Shire Council hopes the EFWA event can become an annual fixture on the Port Douglas events calendar.
A fashion gala will kick start an eco-packed week-long November event that will feature community-based activities such as clothes mending workshops, an eco-market with locally handmade goods, designer showroom and education seminar.
Mayor Julia Leu said the event will be the region's opportunity to be recognised on the world stage.
"All signs are pointing to our region becoming an eco-fashion hub," she said.
"Council has the ability to drive a global culture shift towards ethical and sustainable fashion production.
Mayor Leu said this could turn into real economic results for the region.
"This could lead to retail stores popping up, education opportunities or primary production revolving around the eco fashion industry," she said.
EFWA be attended by global media and will showcase international and Australian eco fashion designers and models.
It will also be a chance for local designers and models to get their foot in the door.
EFWA Chief Executive Zuhal Kuvan Mills believes the event will bring global attention to climate change and its impact on the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropic rainforest.
"We hope to encourage a sustainable way of living while protecting natural resources and the environment," she said.
Australia's first internationally recognised organic fashion label. The event draws like-minded fashion designers and speakers from around the world. In 2018 EFWA expands to two Australian states.


As RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson wrestles this fall with new policies on workplace relationships, he'll be able to draw heavily on personal experience.
Paulson's first marriage, in 1984, was the result of a workplace relationship and his second marriage, this summer, grew from an extramarital affair he began with a senior bureaucrat who worked on RCMP issues in the government department that supports Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office.
Now, as Paulson circulates a draft policy within the force to govern Mountie-to-Mountie romances, some wonder if his own life experience will make it difficult for him to enforce new rules.
"It certainly raises a cloud of suspicion when he is tasked with drawing up these rules about office romances," said Darryl Davies, a criminology professor at Carleton University. "He can't do it in a credible way."
Moreover, Paulson's marriage this summer to Erin O'Gorman may raise some conflict-of-interest issues given that, as their relationship evolved from a professional one to a romantic one, he worked on national security files and she worked for the National Security Advisor to the prime minister in the Privy Council Office on files that would have involved the RCMP.
A spokesman for the Privy Council Office dismissed suggestions of a conflict-of-interest.
"There is no story here. These public servants abide by a clear set of ethical standards," said PCO spokesman Raymond Rivet.
Paulson would not agree to an interview but, in response to questions e-mailed to his office, he replied, "In the context of workplace relationships, it is important to consider whether or not there is a power imbalance. In my case, there was none and there was no real or perceived conflict of interest. Colleagues were well aware of our relationship. If you knew more about the situation, you would write differently."
A spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, said it would be "inappropriate" to comment on the personal lives of senior officials. No New Democrat or Liberal MP responded to requests for comment.
But Janet Merlo, a former Nanaimo, B.C., constable and 19-year veteran with the RCMP, believes that the move to write up new rules for Mountie love is more a public relations exercise than a substantial stab at the problem.
Merlo filed a civil suit earlier this year alleging repeated sexual harassment from her fellow male Mounties.
"They cannot pass any type of legislation that will stop workplace relationships in the RCMP," Merlo said. "It will not work. This is Paulson's little attempt to make it look like he is doing something. He is not addressing the problems of persistent mistreatment of women.
"The only way the policy is going to help anybody is to have a clause in there that states that once you begin a new relationship with someone in the work place, you must notify RCMP management as well as your spouse," Merlo said.
Paulson met his first wife, Frances Manktelow, while both were in the Canadian Forces in B.C. Paulson, who trained in the military as a pilot, "was asked not to renew his contract and was released," according to an affidavit filed by Manktelow in their divorce proceedings, the same month he married Manktelow in 1984. Paulson did not respond to a question about the circumstances of his departure from the military.
That marriage appeared to begin to unwind – again, according to Manktelow's affidavit — when O'Gorman and Paulson participated in a civil service management course in 2008 that took the two of them to 15 different countries over the course of a year. Asked specifically when his romantic relationship with O'Gorman began, Paulson did not respond.
In any event, both Manktelow and Paulson told the court that by July 1, 2009, Paulson had moved out of the matrimonial home. Manketlow said that in October, 2010, Paulson moved in with O'Gorman.
Before Paulson moved in though, O'Gorman left her job working on national security files in the PCO to take up a mid-level executive job at Transport Canada, according to the PCO, where she remains today. Paulson continued to move up the career ladder, becoming commissioner in November 2011, the same month he began divorce proceedings from Mantkelow.
The divorce took effect on June 17 this year, and Paulson and O'Gorman were married two months later.
"I am keenly aware of the risks workplace relationships have on people and organizations," Paulson said in his e-mailed statement. "When we are done consulting, we will implement a workplace policy to protect both the employees and the organization."


The Leading Edge | What does the future of food look like?
At Ikea's three-day Australian "Democratic Design Days" program the panel debate on the future of food in the circular economy struck a chord with Lauren. Here's an overview of what she learnt.
Last week, I attended a panel discussion on the future of food in the circular economy as a part of Ikea's three-day Australian "Democratic Design Days" program. The panel of experts at the forefront of the industry discussed topics spanning from food technology solutions to what our dinner plates could look like in fifty years. All of the topics were underpinned by one clear message: we need to change current consumer attitudes and behaviours when it comes to food waste.
This thought provoking conversation prompted me to question my own behaviour and relationship with food. Now, I LOVE my food and I just hate to see food slide from plate to bin, but I am guilty of unnecessary (and very preventable) food wastage - just as the majority of us are.
It is estimated that Australians throw out 4 million tonnes of edible food every year, roughly equating to 350 kg of food per household. To put this into more "relatable" terms, 350 kg is the approximate collective weight of 3000 bacon rashers, 300 loafs of bread, 200 avocados, 10 bottles of BBQ sauce and then some!
But of course this is not just a problem confined within the Aussie borders; it is believed that up to a third of all food produced around the world goes to waste, costing the global economy upward of $900 billion yearly. The food waste conversation is not new news yet these figures continue to grow, at an alarming rate.
We all know supermarkets are notoriously wasteful which is a major contributing factor. Supermarkets across the globe are taking steps to help decrease wastage, with Woolworths making waste reduction a "national priority", Walmart's "zero waste aspirations" and Ocado working to minimise their wastage to just 0.02%.
Partnerships with charities such as FoodBank in Australia, The Trussell Trust in the UK and Feeding America in the USA dramatically reduces the amount supermarkets send to landfill and instead goes to those in need. However, this is often just a fraction of they actually could donate. As cited by Sarah Pennell, of the 1 million kg donated to FoodBank from one of the "big 2" Australian supermarkets last year, it was discovered via audit that they were given just 15% of what they could have been, as cited by Sarah Pennell in the debate.
The United Nations predict the world population to hit 9.1 billion by 2050 (it's currently at around 8 billion) and it is estimated that we will need to produce around 70% more food to feed these extra mouths - with less water and less land than we have ever had. Inevitably, with this increased need for food comes an even greater need for better management of waste.
So what is it that we as consumers are currently doing to result in so much food waste?
Cooking too much food: An obvious one I'm sure, but I can't count the number of times I've wrongly estimated the amount of pasta needed, blindly pouring the shells into the pan and ending up with a carb piled plate. Furthermore, research has shown that we, in particular mothers when cooking for their family, over cook as a sign of love and affection - if only we showed that same amount of love and affection to our planet! And it is not just at home where we find our plates overloaded - my memories of scraping plates as a kitchen porter aged 16 are still far too vivid. IKEA restaurants have implemented "smart scales" in their kitchens so they can better measure and report on food waste which they then use to inform portion sizes. This is such a simple solution, not reliant on expensive or advanced technologies, but estimated to have a huge impact.
Sticking to best before and use-by dates too strictly: Do we all even understand the differences between best before and use by? Best before dates are simply used by manufacturers as a guideline as to when the product may start to lose some of its qualities, it does not mean that the food is unsafe to eat. As Sarah Pennell of Food Bank joked, we are not trusting enough of our own eyes and noses when determining whether or not food is fresh and take these dates as gospel - when in fact many foods can be eaten weeks if not months after their use by dates.
Not checking cupboards and the fridge before shopping: The spontaneity of some shopping occasions often mean this is not always convenient or possible for us to do but with an estimated 15% of food waste attributed to packaged and long life goods, it is clear that the majority of us haven't a clue what is hiding away in our cupboards. The impact of the recently imposed plastic bag charge in Australian supermarkets will influence how we shop - it has already been noted that basket sizes are seeing a decrease, people are ensuring their purchases fit into the bags they brought along.
Not knowing how and when to use leftovers: I am not the most imaginative person in the kitchen and I struggle to envisage dishes with ingredients which I typically would not put together but I make little effort to even investigate what I could do with them. The Love Food, Hate Waste NSW Government backed campaign frequently posts recipe ideas in a bid to inspire those less adventurous and less confident to throw their leftovers together and make something delicious.
Takeaways or eating out frequently: Something I do on a far too frequent basis is purchase a takeaway as an 'easy' option, even when I know I have a fridge full of food which is calling out to be eaten, which is then too often disposed of. Unfortunately, with Deliveroo and Uber Eats this is becoming more and more common.
As Amanda Kane from NSW EPA stated "not a single one of us likes food waste, everyone hates it and nobody wants to do it" but life always finds a means of getting in the way! We meticulously plan out our meals only then to forget them as we are caught in the morning rush, we throw our leftovers into the freezer only to pick it out months later, icicle incrusted and not the slightest clue what it even contains. For me, the worst part, and what makes me feel guiltiest, is that so many of these wasteful behaviours are completely unintentional but we can train ourselves to break these habits in time.
The onus is not completely on the consumer to instigate this change, manufacturers need to guide us on this journey to modify our complicated behaviours. How can they do this? The obvious answer here would be portion control – simply reduce the pack sizes or provide a wider variety of sizes to select from. Or focus on the packaging itself; continue to innovate with packaging solutions that allow us to easily get all of the contents out. The list is endless but I firmly believe the most important step is for manufacturers to educate people, ultimately helping us to help ourselves. We need to be educated and challenged on our current behaviour and the effect this is having on the world.
Food waste management is something we all can and must do a better job of. Of course this is not a problem that can be reversed overnight and it will take significant time for consumer attitudes and behaviour to have an impactful change, but every small step counts, and for me that starts with being more mindful. The next time I unlock my phone and hover over that tempting delivery app or grab my bag for life to nip to the supermarket "for a few bits" – I will endeavor to first look in my cupboards, in my fridge, in my freezer and ask myself if I really do need to buy anything else.

About 15-20 mins in the car.


For America's burgeoning restaurant industry, the 1950s and '60s represented the essence of cool – especially in our largest cities, where prospering populations savored culinary indulgences unheard of during the "Meatless Tuesdays and Fridays" of World War II.
Manhattan had the OAK ROOM, DELMONICO'S and the STORK CLUB. Celebrities flocked to the BROWN DERBY at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles. And all of Chicago vied for a seat (preferably at the coveted Booth #1) at the swanky PUMP ROOM, located in the Ambassador East Hotel.
Polished brass and mahogany trolleys were wheeled up tableside by captains and maitre d's who could slice and dice with one hand, and flambée and serve with the other. They'd debone your Dover Sole, then return later to ignite your dessert ¬– perhaps Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee or Bananas Foster.
No chef of that era was more celebrated than Pierre Franey of LE PAVILLON (regarded as the finest restaurant in America). Nor was any dish more celebrated than his signature STEAK DIANE, a New York Strip doused with brandy and set aflame tableside. To ensure consistency and speed of reparation, the steak was flattened before cooking. And along with the brandy, it gained extra flavor from butter, veal stock, French mustard, chives, heavy cream and a dash of Worcestershire sauce before the pyrotechnics.
Pierre Franey of Le Pavillion ... N.Y.C.
At the time dubbed "The Best Restaurant in America"
As I was thinking about this post a couple of months ago, to my surprise one Saturday morning the Wall Street Journal published a piece by Charlotte Druckman praising this one-pan dish as "simply delicious." On top of that, just a couple of weeks ago Mark Bittman of the New York Times shared his recipe for Steak Diane.
New York Times ... Is there a revival of Steak Diane?
Does this signal a revival? I hope so….
Jane Nickerson, a writer for the New York Times, said in 1953 (yes, in 1953) that New York had three possible sources for the origination of STEAK DIANE: the restaurant at the SHERRY NETHERLAND HOTEL; THE COLONY restaurant (where Jackie O. hung out); and THE DRAKE HOTEL at 56th and Park avenue.
Pierre Franey weighed in on the discussion and credited Beniamino Schiavon, known as Mr. Nino of the Drake, as creator of the dish while working in Belgium. I guess that's why Steak Diane has only a vague French pedigree. However, its fancy French spirit certainly added to the allure.
And The Drake Hotel ... The Winner!
Created for The Drake by Beniamino Schiavon ... "Nino"
As the iconic Café Society restaurants began to fade, so too did the tableside theatrics for which they were known. Rents were soaring in places like New York, and restaurateurs reacted by cramming in more and more tables – erasing the avenues for dining room trolleys. By 1970, Steak Diane had essentially disappeared.
The 21 Club on West 52nd St. in New York is said to be the last holdout, but it too threw in the towel in the late '80s.
To paraphrase the Journal … "Diane, we hardly knew ya".
Diane ... We hardly knew ya!
Now might be a good time to talk a little about the dish itself, which is surprisingly easy to make at home. After all, it's a one-pan affair. And you just might find yourself ahead of the curve in rekindling this old flame at your holiday parties. Note that most, but not all, recipes call for New York Strip Steaks. Others tout Filet Mignon (although you will have to butterfly it). Either works, but both should be of the absolute highest quality.
"The Perfect Sauce for the Perfect Steak"
BUT WAIT! Is it really possible that Steak Diane is making a comeback?
I'm told that the 21 features it on their menu from time to time. ALLORA on East 42 St. has it on their permanent menu. Keith McNally, perhaps New York's best restauranteur, proudly serves it at MINETTA TAVERN. BRENNAN'S in New Orleans has never stopped and still prepares it tableside.
And finally, who could be more on-trend than Ralph Lauren, whose immensely popular and beautiful restaurant, RL Grill, on Chicago's Gold Coast, features Steak Diane as a signature item.
All this has me wondering: Did the Twin Cities have its own Café Society? Did the BLUE HORSE serve Steak Diane? How about THE CAMELOT? Or GANNON's in St. Paul, where Liver Steak and Onions was a staple among its supper club set.
So I wonder ... back in the day ... Did The Blue Horse offer it?
How about Gannon's in St. Paul?
In Minneapolis, the BIG THREE back in the '60s and '70s were HARRY'S CAFÉ, MURRAY'S and CHARLIES CAFÉ EXCEPTIONALE. Did any of them give it a shot? I don't know.
How about the Minneapolis Big 3 ... Harry's?
One thing I DO know: Julie Child and Jacques Pepin share the recipe for Steak Diane in the recently published Cooking at Home. And as you probably know, each and every week SALUT features a different Julia Child recipe as part of its "Dinner With Julia" Monday night special.
Is there a Monday night Steak Diane in Salut's future? STAY TUNED!
The Blue Horse absolutely had Steak Diane. The newly reborn Lexington has it on the menu. Their own version, but delicious.
We like your site, it has interesting articles, Have a great day!
I'd must test with you here. Which is not something I normally do! I get pleasure from reading a submit that will make folks think. Additionally, thanks for allowing me to comment!


The danger of releasing a film early in the year is that by the time awards season comes around, the film could disappear from the conversation entirely and be forgotten. However, we doubt Wes Anderson's delightful and sweet "The Grand Budapest Hotel" will be completely shut out by year's end. To jog your memory about the tale of Gustave H. and Zero Moustafa, a Q&A from around the film's release has surfaced online along with some odd theme park news.
Looking over Mothersbaugh's breadth of work, the one thing we can be sure of the eventual park – Mothersbaugh World? – is that it'll be idiosyncratic and completely uncharted territory.
Moving from the amusement park world back into the cinematic world, Keyframe Daily has pointed us to a newly uploaded video of the Richard Linklater-hosted Q&A for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" from this year's SXSW, where Anderson, Jason Schwartzman and legendary music supervisor Randall Poster sat down for a nearly hour-long discussion about the conception of the film, the creation of the film's score, how the experience of "Fantastic Mr. Fox" has changed Anderson's approach to filmmaking and more.
Watch the SXSW Q&A below and pick up "The Grand Budapest Hotel" on DVD or Blu-ray today.

Toshiba launches world's fastest SDHC cards
Are actually SDXC cards with a twist
Sep 3, 2010 by Lars-Göran Nilsson
THE SD CARD standard has so far been shunned by most professionals as the SD media has been considered too slow to be used in professional DSLR cameras and camcorders. However, it seems like that's all about to change with Toshiba's announcement of some "really fast" SDHC cards. In fact, the only reason that these cards are labelled as SDHC appears to be a 32GB capacity cap, where a 64GB version would've been an SDXC card.
Confused? Well, these new cards use the new UHS104 standard that SDXC cards use, but if you have a camera that supports SDXC cards these new SDHC cards will give you the same benefits as an SDHC card in terms of performance. However, they will still work in cameras that only support SDHC cards but at reduced performance to the level of a Class 10 SDHC card.
In an SDXC compatible device or card reader Toshiba's new cards will offer write speeds of up to 80MB/s and read speeds of up to 95MB/s which makes these the fastest SD cards to date. This also means that the SD card standard has near enough caught up with the fastest CompactFlash cards which offer 90MB/s read and write speeds. The new cards will be available in 8, 16 and 32GB sizes.
Toshiba also launched three new micro SDHC cards with support for the slightly slower UHS50 standard. These cards will be available in 4, 8 and 16GB sizes and offer read speeds of up to 40MB/s and write speeds of up to 20MB/s. Again, these cards will operate as a Class 10 SDHC card in devices that don't support the UHS-I standard.
No pricing was announced, but expect a serious price premium on these cards until someone else comes up with a competing product. The micro SDHC cards and the 32GB SDHC card will go into mass production in November, with the 8 and 16GB SDHC cards following in December.S|A

A coalition of leading environmental groups says there is a "significant risk" that British environmental protections will be reduced after Brexit, despite the government's positive rhetoric.
Greener UK, which represents 13 campaign groups including WWF, National Trust, RSPB, Friends of the Earth, Green Alliance and the Wildlife Trusts, says there are "serious concerns" that the government will not cooperate with the European Union after Brexit on environmental issues which need international agreement. Although the environment secretary, Michael Gove, has made several recent announcements, such as the 5p levy on plastic bottles, Greener UK believes there may be a "lack of willpower to ensure high standards across the UK".
Shaun Spiers, the chairman of Greener UK and executive director of Green Alliance, praised Gove as a "highly engaged and effective environment secretary" and welcomed the prime minister's promise to put the environment at the centre of government policy.
The warning comes as a rebel Conservative MEP told the Observer the UK was no longer working effectively with the EU on environmental issues. Julie Girling had the Tory whip withdrawn when she supported a European Parliament resolution saying the UK had not made sufficient progress in talks with the EU.
She said: "Since before the June 2016 referendum, from March when we had purdah, they have stopped engaging with MEPs. People in the European council and commission have told me that's the case for them as well.
Two EU directives are receiving significant scrutiny without any real UK input, Girling said: the renewable energy directive, which relates to biofuels and member states' targets for renewable energy; and the energy efficiency directive on building standards.
She said that MEPs and environmental lobbyists from other EU countries had told her that they had heard very little from the UK on these issues – a significant change from previous EU policy debates.
Part of the problem, campaigners say, is the lack of resources available to Defra, which has been given an extra £94.4m for managing Brexit, yet is also facing budget reductions of £147m by 2019.
Spiers said that the government's pledge to be a global leader on plastic waste was undermined by the "swingeing cuts" to Wrap, the waste and resources action programme that is responsible for reducing waste. Wrap is losing a tenth of its staff to budget cuts.
"There are big questions about whether the government is willing to devote the resources necessary to deliver a green Brexit," Spiers said.
Campaigners believe many improvements to the environment have happened only because successive governments have been spurred into action by the prospect of being taken to the European court of justice.
In November, Michael Gove announced that the government would create a "world-leading" environmental watchdog, backed by statute, to deliver Brexit.
The Sustainable Development Commission was shut down by the coalition government in 2011, while the "independent and well-respected" Committee on Climate Change had seen its last two reports effectively ignored by the government, Burns said.

Q: Is there any way to quickly switch private endpoint on/off? I have an Azure web app that its inbound traffic is limited to a private endpoint and it has only a private ip. The setup is working well and I have a VM inside the subnet that I can browse my Azure web app.
The is a dev environment and I need to experiment/verify something.
Is there anyway to toggle off the private endpoint, have the web app available to public internet for a period of time, the toggle on the private endpoint?
I know I can remove webapp from its vent, but I am hoping to find a quick way to toggle the private endpoint off and off.

A: I reproduce the issue and find that toggle on and off can't be done.
1 simple thing you can do is to remove the private endpoint by going to the webapps >> networking>>private endpoints >> select the endpoint and remove from your webapp and again when require you can create it.
Added a private endpoint it got turn on but there is no option to turn it off.

Only one option it would be remove the private end to make it turn off.

Gertrude Southworth (1862 - 1946)
Beach at Brighton
Negative, 3.5 x 5.75 inches, Gift of Amy Edwards Jordan, 2001.28.1
Brighton Beach acquired its name after Nellie and Frank Waterhouse created Brighton Avenue and offered lots for sale in 1882. This view from the Little Mesa in Bolinas was taken near the studio of local artist Jack Wisby whose painting of this very scene, painted in 1916, is now in the Bolinas Museum's Permanent Collection.
The large house in the foreground is just to the right of the current ramp as you walk to the beach at the end of Brighton Avenue. The house has been greatly expanded since the days of Gertrude Southworth. Prior to the ramp, the beach was accessed by steep stairways.
Beyond are the Frenetta House and the Dodge house, built about 1900, when there was plenty of land and beach. Even then rapid cliff erosion was threatening the houses. Here men can be seen working on building sea walls in an attempt to preserve the cliffs. By the 1940s the Dodge house had to be dismantled. Today both houses and their land are gone, leaving a sharp cliff at the edge of Terrace Avenue seen here above the two houses.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CSF) is a condition characterized by severe fatigue which is not necessarily caused by any underlying medical condition and that lasts for more than 6 months. The fatigue does not improve with rest and may get worse after physical or mental exertion.
There is no single test for diagnoses for the syndrome – medical tests are used to rule out other conditions like adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism, malabsorption disorders, hormonal imbalances, lupus, multiple sclerosis, major chemical depression and others.
The main symptoms, in addition to the fatigue that significantly interferes with daily activities, are poor memory or concentration, frequent or recurring sore throat, enlarged and sore lymph nodes in neck or armpit, muscle pain without apparent reason, pain that moves from one joint to another without swelling or redness, headaches, unrefreshing sleep and extreme exhaustion lasting more than 24 hours after physical or mental exercise. The symptoms may not present all at once and some people will not have some of them at all, but the criteria for diagnosis is to present with at least 4 of the symptoms above.
There are many theories addressing possible triggers chronic fatigue syndrome, from viral infections to emotional and psychological stress and even though the cause is unknown it is believed that CSF arises from a combination of factors.
