Smile Statements Made at the Olympics
June 7, 2016 Delta Dental of Idaho
Is your smile ready for another epic Summer Olympics? To amp up your excitement, we're looking back to when grins grabbed the gold. Here are our favorite moments:
Ryan Lochte's Grill
Jeah! This swimming stud stayed single during the 2012 Olympics but still managed to find the grill of his dreams. If you think dental work is expensive, check out the price tag on Ryan Lochte's decorative dental grill: $25,000. It's a good thing Lochte only sports his sparkly smile during special occasions. Prolonged use can trap food particles and bacteria around teeth and gums. Out of respect, the Olympic committee asked him not to wear it on the podium. Fortunately for Ryan, there were plenty of post-podium photo ops that let him flash that red, white and blue bling. Watch for Ryan's new one in 2016—it's made of black diamonds.
A Bite of Gold
The pose is a podium tradition: Olympians biting their gold as if it were gelt. Though chocolate coins would be a worthy way to taste victory, what's the appeal of a mouthful of metal? No one knows for sure, but historical counterfeiting may play a role in the metal mystery. Coins used to contain precious metals, so money handlers would bite them to test their authenticity. Another explanation may be photogs' obsession with the pose. The snapshot has become a Summer Olympics staple, and iconic shots are easier to sell.
Synchronized Smiling
Synchronized swimming is one of the more offbeat Olympic events. But this strenuous sport requires stamina, strength and lots of smiling. If you think it's hard to smile when you're having a bad day, imagine holding your breath, exerting an enormous amount of energy—all while smiling! And those smiles pay off positively in the judges' scores.
This 2008 Olympian said it best: "Imagine doing a four-minute bike sprint while holding your breath in 15-second intervals. And we have to do it all with a smile."
Olympians Save their Smiles
Since 2004, a team of dental professionals volunteers to give athletes gratis care. Surprisingly, traumatic care isn't the most requested service. According to the clinic, at the London Olympics, nearly half of participants hadn't had a dental exam in the last year. The clinic goes beyond cleanings too, providing mouthguards and on-site dentists during competition. The hope is that athletes return home as more than Olympians—but as oral health advocates.

In late fifteenth-century London one Maria Moriana was arrested and imprisoned on the grounds that she owed her master, a Venetian merchant, twenty pounds. Maria petitioned the Court of Chancery for help as she had been tricked into signing a bond stating that she owed him that amount, which meant that she was likely to be found guilty in the sheriffs' court of London. The bill explains that Maria 'cannot speak nor understand English' and so she did not know what she was signing.
From the Chancery bill we learn Maria's version of events, translated into English by whomever was helping her with the case. She had been in service with the merchant Philip Syne (an anglicisation of Filippo Cini) for more than twenty years. She had not been paid any wages but had been provided with food, drink and clothing. However, Filippo fell into poverty and could no longer support himself, his wife and Maria and so he offered to sell Maria to a Genoese merchant for £20. Maria would not consent to the sale. Filippo then told Maria that various people owed him money and he would sign those debts over to her as recompense for all her years of service. She accompanied him to the notary so that he could put this agreement in writing. There Filippo took advantage of her lack of English and Latin to have the notary instead draw up a document stating that she owed him £20, which she agreed to seal. This was the document he used to sue her in the sheriffs' court of London. The Chancery bill is endorsed with a date, 29 May, at which her case was to be heard but we do not know what happened thereafter.
We know more about Filippo Cini, alias Philip Syne, because he was a wealthy merchant who was involved in trade in Southampton. He is listed in the alien subsidies, residing in Southampton, from 1463 to 1469 (where his surname appears variously as Tyny, Syny and Deny), and was assessed at 40s. He was already resident in Southampton in 1461 as, together with another Venetian merchant, he petitioned the Chancellor of England for help recovering a large amount of imported wine which had been confiscated by the mayor of Southampton, John Payne, despite their payment of customs to the town. When they found themselves in a similar situation in 1463, they had documentary evidence. Less than three months later, Payne was removed from office on the king's orders.
But it is possible to speculate further about Maria Moriana. First, she had likely been living in Southampton for some time. Although it is difficult to date her bill to Chancery, its address to the Archbishop of Canterbury as Chancellor means that it must date to one of two periods: 1486-93 and 1504-15. From what we know about her master, the former dates seem more likely. If she had been Filippo Cini's servant for at least twenty years she probably lived in his household in Southampton, where we know he was in the 1460s, perhaps until her arrest in London. Many Italian merchants at this date traded from a base in Southampton while dealing with customers in London, perhaps because the former was seen as more welcoming after anti-immigrant riots in London in 1455-6.
Secondly, Maria Moriana's name suggests that she might well have entered Filippo Cini's household as a slave. Morian was a French borrowing for 'moor', with Moriana as the feminine form. Europeans applied the term 'moor' to Muslim Europeans, Arabs and North African Berbers; and at least from the sixteenth century, if not earlier, 'moorish' was used to describe someone with darker skin. The slave trade in Italy was just one part of a broader trade in the Mediterranean, with Catalan and Portugese merchants dominant, but it was at its peak in the fifteenth century. Italian merchants, particularly from Venice and Genoa, supplied Muslim and Christian markets with slaves captured outside of the Latin West. While most slaves came from Eastern Europe and Central Asia, there were some black Africans. Christians were not meant to take other Christians as slaves, but they would often baptize their slaves and give them Christian names: Maria (anglicised as Mary) is one such name. Those who were bought within Italy tended to be young and female and were used for domestic work. By the late fifteenth century in Italy it was becoming more common to pay for servants than to buy slaves, as the work that the two did was often comparable, so it is possible that Maria was a manumitted slave.
Third, it might not have been merely a legal device to claim that Maria did not speak or understand English. For contrast, a bill from the mid-fifteenth century, pertaining to a Flemish woman who lived in Norwich, Katherine Asker (otherwise Asger), claimed that she was tricked out of substantial sums of money by her late husband's attorneys because of her 'little English, neither speak nor understand'. If Maria worked in Filippo Cini's household she might have been able to get by conversing in Italian. Her bill reveals that he spoke to her 'in his country tongue'. In 1537 Diego Sanchez, a Spanish resident in London, made his wife, Eleanor, executor of his will but appointed an overseer, 'because my wife is old and a stranger and cannot understand the speech of the country'. Diego also left his wife his slave, Johan, for two years (after that Johan could go free). Eleanor was asked to look after the two 'wenches' he had had with Johan, until they came of age.
While we have little evidence regarding the life of Maria Moriana, it seems likely that the lives of the dependants of wealthy immigrant merchants were different from the more documented lives of the merchants themselves. When Filippo Cini had his own struggles with the anti-immigrant mayor of Southampton, John Payne, he successfully invoked a parliamentary statute of 1363 in his appeal to Chancery. Maria Moriana also petitioned Chancery; but all documentary evidence was against her, given her lack of English and Latin. Part of the difference between the groups might have been a less pressing need for dependants, like Maria, Katherine and Eleanor, to learn English, given their reliance on more public-facing men. In these examples the difference is also a gendered one.

She tried to make a PB+J in a moving off road vehicle. It didn't go well.
If you've ever made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then you know there's potential to make a mess.
We're not sure about the average person, but we have a hard enough time keeping both the peanut butter and jelly from making its way onto the counter while trying to prepare the iconic sandwich.
So when we learned someone would attempt to do so in a car, we couldn't help but to laugh. Not just in a car, but in a Subaru Crosstek, while on an off-road course at Monticello Motor Club.
Josh Condon, deputy editor of The Drive, navigated the Subaru up and down the hills of the course as the video editor Erica Lourde attempted to tackle the feat of making a PB&J — while in motion.
Lourde had a bag containing all of the contents she needed to make said sandwich. So, not only did she have to open the bread and all of the jars, but she also had to spread the contents onto the bread.
The process was about as smooth as the ride on the off-road course. While the Subaru handled the course well, the same couldn't be said for Lourde and the peanut butter and jelly.
She did an average-at-best job with the peanut butter. The jelly on the other hand was an epic fail. She may have gotten more jelly in her lap than she did on the sandwich.
Before it was all said and done the sandwich was complete, but Lourde said she managed to get peanut butter and jelly in places she wished she hadn't.

On April 13, The Quebec Health Minister Gaetan Barrette finally published in the Quebec Official Gazette the terms of the new professional allowances (PA's). The change from the current cap of 15% that pharmacists can receive, will now increase to 25% for a period of 6 months starting April 28 2016, and then will increase to 30% for a period of 3 months (November 2016 up to January 2017 included). Then the cap will be removed altogether for a period of 2 years and 3 months. There won't be any limit for the PA's during this period which is also referred to as a "pilot program".
This is the result of a long negotiation process following the adoption of Bill 28 in April 2015 between the Health Minister and the Quebec Pharmacy Owners Association (AQPP). The agreement reached at the end of June between the two parties was to remove the PA cap totally for the next 3 years. This agreement was a compromise from the Health Minister to compensate for the $400M reduction in professional fees to pharmacists over the 3-year period that was previously announced.
The AQPP argues that the Health Minister is not honouring its original commitment. Following this week's announcement, the AQPP has mandated Lucien Bouchard (ex- Quebec Premier and now partner and legal counsel for the law firm Davies Ward Philips & Vineberg ) to initiate a legal procedure to dispute the Health Minister's decision. There will be a period of 30 days for the Health Minister to act on this legal challenge.
Another layer of complexity in this situation is Bill 81 (Tender process for selected generics and distribution exclusivity for the tendered generics). In March, during the hearing for Bill 81 at the National assembly, there were several sessions with Quebec retailers and pharmacist associations that were to say the least unpleasant. The Health Minister challenged the overall profitability and business models of pharmacies in Quebec. This new piece of legislation, which is progressing in parliament, may play a role in the outcome of this dispute.

Mudanjiang
Alternative Title: Mu-tan-chiang
Mudanjiang, Wade-Giles romanization Mu-tan-chiang, city in southeastern Heilongjiang sheng (province), China. It is located about 70 miles (110 km) west of the Chinese-Russian border. It is situated on the upper reaches of the Mudan River (Mudan Jiang), which is a tributary of the Sungari (Songhua) River in the mountains of eastern Northeast China (Manchuria). Until the 1920s Mudanjiang was little more than a large village that was overshadowed by the nearby county town of Ning'an.

The area was first settled after the completion of the Chinese Eastern Railway in 1903, when both Chinese settlers and a considerable Russian colony established themselves there. Substantial growth occurred in the 1930s under the Japanese occupation, when Mudanjiang became a military and administrative centre, and particularly after the construction in 1933 of a rail link to Tumen (Jilin province) and to Jiamusi. At that time some industry (light engineering, lumbering, and food processing) was established in the town.
After 1949 Mudanjiang grew rapidly into an industrial city. The city is provided with electricity from a hydroelectric power station on the Mudan River at Lake Jingbo that was originally constructed by the Japanese and then rehabilitated in the early 1950s after being dismantled by Soviet occupation forces in 1945. There is a large rubber-manufacturing industry that makes Mudanjiang one of the chief producers of automobile tires in China; much of its production is delivered to the automotive industry centred in Changchun, in Jilin province. The city is the centre of a large aluminum-smelting plant and boasts textile, machinery, chemical, and food-processing industries. It is an important regional railway and highway junction. Pop.

Heard on Tell Me More
Pamela Druckerman is causing a stir with her new book titled Bringing Up Bebe. The book argues that French parents raise better-behaved children than American parents. Host Michel Martin speaks with Druckerman, as well as Mathieu Garcon, who is a French dad, and Judith Warner, who wrote the modern motherhood book titled Perfect Madness.
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.
Coming up, just in time for Valentine's Day, we will hear about the spiritual power of chocolate and we will talk with a pair of MIT-trained brother and sister chemical engineers who have turned their scientific minds to crafting the perfect cupcake. That's in just a few minutes.
But first, they say it takes a village to raise a child, but maybe you just need a few moms in your corner. Every week, we check in with a diverse group of parents for some common sense and savvy advice.
And for many Americans, having kids means surrendering to years of plastic toys littering the floors, tantrums interrupting meals and the demands of child rearing moving to the very center of family life.
Does it have to be like that? Well, one of our moms this week says weary American parents could do better by going French. Pamela Druckerman is an American journalist who lives in Paris. Her new book is "Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting." And it has set off something of a French-American war of words about child rearing.
Writer Pamela Druckerman joins us now. She's a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal and a mom of three, twin boys and a girl. Welcome, Pamela. Thanks so much for joining us.
PAMELA DRUCKERMAN: Thanks so much for having me on, Michel.
MARTIN: Also with us is Judith Warner. She is also an American journalist and she is also the author of another attention-getting book that compared the French and American parenting experience. You might remember it from 2005. It was called "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety." She and her husband have raised their two daughters in France and the United States. She's here with me in Washington, D.C. Judith, welcome to you.
JUDITH WARNER: Thank you.
MARTIN: And also with us, Mathieu Garcon. He is a French dad who's spent quite a lot of time in the States and he's a freelance photographer and he has two boys. Welcome to you, also. Thank you so much for joining us.
MATHIEU GARCON: Thank you very much and thank you for inviting me.
MARTIN: So, Pamela, you open the book with this very funny scene. At least, some of us thought it was funny. Maybe you didn't think it was so funny. It wasn't so funny at the time. You and your husband are on vacation with your then 18-month-old daughter and she's a hot mess. I mean, she's running out of the restaurant. She's throwing food. But you noticed that the French children were sitting still, eating whatever their parents gave them. So what did you conclude was the difference?
DRUCKERMAN: Well, from that moment, that was sort of the moment when I realized there's something different going on here. And then I started to think about all the other things that I'd seen in France. And it certainly isn't the case that no French children ever throw food or French children behave perfectly or that French moms do everything right.
But I started to notice that there really were some differences in daily life. For example, French mothers seemed to be able to sit down and have a cup of coffee with me when they came over with their kids to visit, whereas the American moms were sort of chasing their kids and resolving spats the whole time. And French moms were telling me that their kids could sleep through the night at two or three months old. Whereas with my American friends, it was nine months, a year old.
There seem to be this kind of guiding idea in France that there's a compromise between the parents and the children that the mother and the father don't have to readjust their lives completely around what the kids need. That children can learn to wait. They can learn to sit at the table. They can - there isn't as much of an emphasis on sort of building skills early. I mean, I didn't meet sort of parents who were anxious - French parents who were anxious for their kids to learn to read at two or three years old or even to swim.
There was more - just the whole backdrop for family life was a lot calmer. There's still, you know, in France, a lot of guilt, a lot of stress, but the volume is turned down on all of that.
And, for me, as an American, it was really kind of a revelation that so many things I had taken for granted, like the fact that my child would need to snack during the day quite a lot or that she would eat only kids' foods were completely upended by the experience that I had, sort of, little by little, discovering what goes on in France and kind of looking at scientific studies and just kind of gradually peeling back the layers. And I discovered that France has its own Dr. Spock.
MARTIN: OK.
DRUCKERMAN: Her name is Francoise Dolto.
MARTIN: Well, let's hold that thought for a minute there. Judith, you have a broader theory about the whole experience of being a parent in France and the United States that I want to talk about later. But I just want to ask, do you want to cosign - I just want to ask, do you cosign what Pamela says about the difference in French parenting styles just on the face of it? Since your girls were born in France, do you think - is what she's saying true?
WARNER: I think it is true. I had, in a sense, the opposite experience as Pamela, in that what happened in France was considered normal for me because that's all I knew. That's where I had my children. That's where my friends started having children. Those were the ages that I was there, so I didn't really have the experience of American parenting beforehand.
And then I came here and was really shocked by the way that children didn't listen to adults, by the way - the same thing always strikes people, I think, is the snacking, the eating all day and just the general chaos and the takeover of adult life by children.
MARTIN: Mathieu, save us here. You are French.
GARCON: Yes.
MARTIN: And despite your French parenting skills, you actually had a similar scene to Pamela's in a restaurant with one of your sons where...
(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)
MARTIN: I don't know that he was throwing food, but he - what? Got stuck behind a table or you had to pull him out by his feet or...
GARCON: Yeah, right. Well, you know, most of the time, I tried not to take my kids to the restaurant because I considered that - I don't want to educate them at the restaurant. I want to speak with my friends. And when I have, you know, the kids with me, I usually take care of them or, you know, so I do not spend the time I would like to spend with my friends.
So, once I was in the restaurant and my son got lost and he started screaming, but no one knew where he was. And he was screaming and screaming and, actually, he was stuck behind the wall. So, I had to move the table - actually, seven tables - and I have to apologize to the whole restaurant because, you know, the kid was just behind the wall. I don't know how he got there. But anyway, he was stuck, so we have to pull it out - pull it out by the legs and it was so funny, actually. But - well, the thing is that, you know...
MARTIN: It's funny now, but...
GARCON: You know - yeah, it's funny now. Right?
MARTIN: So what happened? Did we contaminate you by all your time in the states? Apparently, you studied. So did you lose your mojo or something or does this raise the question - and I'll ask everyone this. Is the issue that children are just not as present in the public sphere in France? It just isn't the done thing to take your children to fancy restaurants and places like that where adults would generally gather? Mathieu, is that your sense that part of it is that there are more adult spaces?
GARCON: Yeah.
MARTIN: That Americans think it's a bigger deal to take their kids everywhere?
GARCON: Well, that's right. I don't take my kids to the restaurant, usually, and specifically to the fancy restaurants. But, anyway, it's a time I want to share with my friends or with my wife. And kids are, you know, they will have time to go to the restaurants. And I know, from my experience, from my kids' experience, that they get bored, you know, after five minutes, after their plates, their dishes. I mean, they don't want to finish it. They don't want to - you know, they get bored. They want to just get up and move around and that's impossible. So, I usually don't take my kids and that's it.
GARCON: So, you know, I go with them...
MARTIN: And that's it.
GARCON: ...to the McDonald's restaurant, but that's it.
MARTIN: Oh, no.
DRUCKERMAN: I think that's why it took me until my...
MARTIN: OK. Pamela, I was going to ask you that. Pamela, what do you think? But you have a feeling it's not so much just the kids are banished, but that French parents have a different attitude about the role that children are supposed to play in the family.
DRUCKERMAN: Yeah. I mean, I think that's why it took until my daughter was a year and a half 'til I had this revelation about restaurants because I hadn't actually taken her to a restaurant, because I think Mathieu's point is very well taken. And it's something that I saw in a lot of parents that French parents really believe that there is adult time and that they're entitled to take time to themselves, evenings to themselves.
You know, I had French parents tell me they're very strict about bedtimes, of course. They don't want to have this prolonged back-and-forth, one more story, one more song, because they believe that, you know, without guilt, that they're entitled to have evenings to themselves. And I met French parents who, sort of without any guilt, told me they took holidays, vacations by themselves and just mothers would tell me they take time out when - little pockets of time - whenever they can, whether it's sort of when their kids are playing in the park. They're less likely - you know, if you go to a French playground, the parents are sitting on the sidelines and the kids are playing.
And it's not just - and I think - I hope Mathieu will agree with me on this. It's not just selfishness, although it...
GARCON: No, no.
DRUCKERMAN: ...is slightly selfish. It's a belief that cultivating independence and autonomy in children and ability to play by yourself and to not be bored and to cope with frustration is an essential life skill. And knowing that your parents have a life of their own is important for children, because they know that there are other people in the world. It kind of rescues them from their natural self-centeredness.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're talking about the new book, "Bringing Up Bebe," by American journalist, Pamela Druckerman. We are talking about the premise that maybe French parents have something to teach Americans about, not just about cheese and croissants, but about parenting, as well.
Pamela Druckerman is with us. Also with us is Mathieu Garcon. He's a French dad of two sons. He's spent a lot of time in the States, so we're interested in his perspective on this. He's also a freelance photographer. Judith Warner is also with us, mom of two. She also wrote a very attention-getting book in 2005 called "Perfect Madness."
Judith, you made the point in that book that one thing that's very different between the two countries is the amount of government support that parents get - all parents, not just the few. That French parents have more paid time off, free or low cost child care and preschool. There are stipends for having children. I don't whether all of these supports have persisted in the face of kind of the worldwide economic difficulties.
But do you think that part of is that - I don't what's the chicken and what's the egg. Maybe the reason that there are all those government supports for parents is that they do believe that parents need their own things. Or is there just a different - you know, what's behind that. But there are Americans - you can hear them saying, well, you know, I'd be more relaxed and having coffee, too, if I didn't have to worry about, you know, college tuitions, you know, 20 years down the line. What's your take on that?
WARNER: I think it's a combination of all of that. I mean, the family supports started in the first place as a pro-natalist policy to get women to have more children. But French society actually evolved with the times in the 1970s. As women moved into the workforce and started having careers, not just jobs, society actually embraced this.
And this whole idea that you're supposed to remain yourself once you have children, that you're not supposed to be entirely defined and taken over by your children really speaks itself through the social policy, as well, because they make it possible for women to be able to be mothers and have their professional lives and kind of keep the two going together and not be forced into the draconian choices that we face so often in the United States.
MARTIN: But your argument, too, is that you feel that there's just a sort of competitiveness that people pour into their children in this country. The idea that it's - if I remember - the argument that it's kind of winner take all here and your kids have to be ready. And that's kind of your job as a middle class parent is to get your kid ready for battle.
WARNER: I think that's absolutely right. I think that's been very strong here for a long time now. I do think, however, that that's coming to France, that it has come to France, that in the years of economic difficulty that we've had recently, even going back further than just the current downturn, the same sorts of trends that we've seen here of income bifurcation and sort of greater competition for fewer resources has also been going on in France. And what I've noticed going back in summers is that the competition is growing. The sort of worry about how kids perform is growing.
MARTIN: Mathieu, would you think that that's true? Do you feel that that's - in part, that there has been a more relaxed attitude toward parenting, in part, because parents don't feel that life is a sweepstakes that has to be won and that you think perhaps given all the economic difficulties, perhaps that attitude is changing a bit?
GARCON: Yeah, that's right. You know, the challenge is more and more important because of the crisis. And so we are very concerned about our kids' career and studying. So, I believe that we have to be very close to them and very concerned about their work at school. So, the education is very - must be sharp and we must not leave them, you know, with no education, with no example, with nothing, which is the most important problem, you know, in some - somewhere in France, some districts in France.
There are some schools in France where the parents just left their kids with no education. So, I believe that, as the desperate house husband myself because my wife is a, you know, works a lot and she doesn't - the time I have at home, I take care of the homework at home and I take care of everything. And I want my kids to be - and my wife, of course - we want our kids to be, you know, very - the first - not to be the first, but the best - to have the best future for them.
MARTIN: Pamela, I'm going to give you the last word since it's your book here. So, I'm thinking that chicken nuggets are coming to a menu near you, possibly, given what Mathieu is sort of telling me. But given that, let's just say that that day has not yet arrived. What's your best advice for American parents who've been operating without the kind of context that you have there, where you are currently living in France? Are there ideas that you think you would share with your American friends who are living here?
DRUCKERMAN: Absolutely. I think, you know, some things are changing in France and there is pressure toward a more American-style parenting, but it hasn't arrived yet. And I think one stronghold in France - and this is something I talk about a lot in the book - is around food. And I would say the French style of making kids taste food many times, of serving vegetables first, serving food in courses, of only having one snack a day, really are things that you can do in any country. You know, it doesn't require lots of different cheeses, even, necessarily.
And, also, the French way of getting babies to sleep quickly through the night, which, you know, will sound, I think, very familiar to some American parents. We have so much advice and the French wisdom, in many cases, isn't coming up with something entirely new. It's honing in on the one - sort of editing, honing in on the one thing that really works and sticking with it in lots of different domains.
MARTIN: OK. Judith, I lied. I'm going to give you the last word because you've taken the French style here for a number of years now. How's it going? Is there something you still retain from your early years in France as you raise your kids?
WARNER: I still retain the 4:00 p.m. snack, which my mother found completely fascistic when we lived in France, the notion that you could only have your snack at one precise time each day. But it works and it sort of de-fetishizes sugar, because they have their sugar in a small quantity at one point in the day and then they don't pig out on it all day long.
So I think that Pamela is right to talk about diet since, obviously, obesity is such a problem in the United States, as well as eating disorders. I think that the French really do something right in their focus on balance in food, as in all things.
MARTIN: Judith Warner is the author of "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety." She's a mom of two and she was kind enough to join us here in our Washington, D.C. studio. Mathieu Garcon is a French dad of two. He's a freelance photographer. He was with us from a studio in Paris, along with Pamela Druckerman, author of "Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting," and she's a mom of three. Thank you all so much for speaking with us.
WARNER: Thank you so much.
DRUCKERMAN: Thank you, Michel.
GARCON: Thank you.
MARTIN: And I'll hide my cupcake.

Could this be the trigger that sparks a pipeline building boom?
Published in October, 2018
The energy transport sector in Canada has been paralyzed for a decade, as anti oil activists took over.
But there is nothing like $400 oil to make the oil sands hot again. And that means more pipelines -- and more pipeline landowners.
Oil could hit $200 'or even double that figure': Saudis threaten to retaliate against any sanctions over Khashoggi disappearance
The Saudi stock market lost $33 billion of its value on Sunday
DUBAI (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia on Sunday warned against threats to punish it over the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last week, saying it would retaliate against any sanctions with tougher measures, as international criticism increased.
Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist critical of Saudi Arabia, disappeared on Oct. 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkey's government believes he was murdered inside the building and his body removed. Saudi Arabia has denied that.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened "severe punishment" if it turned out Khashoggi was killed in the consulate, though he said Washington would be "punishing" itself if it halted military sales to Riyadh, a key ally.
"The Kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether by threatening to impose economic sanctions, using political pressures, or repeating false accusations…" the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA)quoted an unnamed government source as saying.
"The Kingdom also affirms that if it receives any action, it will respond with greater action, and that the Kingdom's economy has an influential and vital role in the global economy," the source added, without elaborating.
Britain, France and Germany told Saudi Arabia they were treating the case with "the utmost seriousness".
"There needs to be a credible investigation to establish the truth about what happened, and – if relevant – to identify those bearing responsibility for the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, and ensure that they are held to account," the foreign ministers from the three countries said in a joint statement.
"We encourage joint Saudi-Turkish efforts in that regard, and expect the Saudi Government to provide a complete and detailed response. We have conveyed this message directly to the Saudi authorities."
The statement, by British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt, France's Jean-Yves Le Drian and Germany's Heiko Maas, made no mention of potential actions the countries might take.
The Saudi stock market lost $33 billion of its value on Sunday amid investor worries about deteriorating international relations, one of the first signs of the economic pain that Riyadh could suffer over the affair.
In a column published just after the SPA statement, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya channel's General Manager Turki Aldakhil warned that imposing sanctions on the world's largest oil exporter could spark global economic disaster.
"It would lead to Saudi Arabia's failure to commit to producing 7.5 million barrels. If the price of oil reaching $80 angered President Trump, no one should rule out the price jumping to $100, or $200, or even double that figure," he wrote.
U.S. senators have triggered a provision of the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act requiring the president to determine whether a foreign person is responsible for a gross human rights violation. The act has in the past imposed visa bans and asset freezes on Russian officials.
Anti-Saudi sentiment in the U.S. Congress could conceivably raise pressure to pass the so-called No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act, which would end sovereign immunity shielding OPEC members from U.S. legal action.
A senior member of Saudi Arabia's ruling family, Prince Khaled al-Faisal, has met Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan to discuss Khashoggi's disappearance, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters without providing details of the talks.
On Friday, a source with links to the prince's family said Prince Khaled, the governor of Mecca, had been sent to Turkey in his capacity as special adviser to King Salman.
A Turkish official told Reuters on Sunday that the Saudis had said they would allow the consulate to be searched, and that this would happen by the end of the weekend, though he had conceded to "flexibility on this date."
"But Turkey is determined on the subject of entering the consulate and carrying out a criminal inspection. There is no alternative to carrying out this inspection. Time is important in terms of evidence," the official said.

The Post Office has cut the rates on a variety of its mortgage products and are now offering their lowest ever fixed rate mortgage deals, taking some of their mortgage products to the top of the best-buy mortgages tables.
The Post Office says it will now be offering their best ever mortgage range, slashing rates among its mortgage products.
Three of its fixed rate mortgage products are now the best mortgage deals available in the UK mortgage market.
Topping the list are the 2 year fixed rate mortgage deals that have no arrangement fee.
The UK mortgage market is warning potential borrowers that there has been a sudden surge in the number of mortgage providers lowering how much they will lend for an interest-only mortgage deal.
Nationwide, Santander, and Coventry Building Society are among the mainstream mortgage lenders that have reduced their Loan-To-Value (LTV) ratios on their interest-only mortgages to just 50%.
Banks and building societies have made widespread changes to their UK mortgage rates in recent weeks, with a growing number of lenders raising rates on tracker loans as the escalating Eurozone debt crisis drives up the cost of funding these mortgages.
This week, Nationwide Building Society and Halifax – part of Lloyds Banking Group – became the latest high-street lenders to increase their tracker rates.
Halifax has upped the rates for tracker mortgages by as much as 0.30 percentage points, raising its two-year tracker from 3.04% to 3.34%.
It is available for loans up to 75% of a property's value, with no fee.
Woolwich, Santander, Northern Rock, Accord & Barclays Wealth are among the other lenders to have raised their rates over the past month.
Not all mortgage rates are heading upwards.
At the same time as increasing several tracker rates, Nationwide Building Society cut the cost of some fixed-rate products – including its five-year fix, which was reduced from 3.69% to 3.59%.
Other mortgage lenders have eased their criteria and launched attractive products. On Wednesday, Barclays re-entered the 90% loan-to-value market, after it stopped offering these loans three years ago.
Coventry Building Society also launched a new range of fixed and capped rate products that come with no early redemption charges this week.
These are the current 'best-buy' mortgages deals available now.
While tracker rates have been going up, mortgage brokers say there are still a number of competitive deals available. Santander has a two-year tracker at 1.95% – Bank of England (BoE) base rate plus 1.45% – available up to 60% loan-to-value with a £1,995 fee. It comes with a free valuation and free legal work.
HSBC's lifetime tracker at 2.49% – BoE base rate plus 1.99% – is a fabulous deal. It comes with no fees and no early repayment charges, which means borrowers can remortgage to a fixed-rate deal at any point during the mortgage term.
Fixed-rate deals remain cheap and have not seen any major rate movements. Leeds Building Society is still offering its 2year fix at 1.99%, available up to 75% loan-to-value (LTV), with a £1,999 fee.
Chelsea Building Society's five-year fix at 3.29%, available up to 70% loan-to-value (LTV) with a £1,495 fee, is the market leading longer term fix.
Barclays' move to increase its maximum loan-to-value from 85 per cent to 90 per cent has provided first-time buyers with more options. According to Moneyfacts, the financial data provider, there are now 253 mortgages requiring only a 10% deposit, compared with 206 in October 2010 and just 101 in October 2009.
It is offering a three-year fix at 4.99% with no fee or a five-year deal at 5.49%, with a £499 fee. Its maximum loan size is £500,000.
Cambridge Building Society and Melton Mowbray Building Society are also offering five-year deals at 5.39%.
Competition has increased in the large-loan market recently, with more high-street lenders offering these type of mortgages.
RBS Private Banking has a two-year tracker at 2.19% – BoE base rate plus 1.69% – available up to 50%loan-to-value, with a £999 fee.
NatWest has a two-year fixed-rate at 2.65%, available up to 60% loan-to-value, with a £999 fee.
Skipton Building Society has some of the most competitive deals for self-employed borrowers as it will consider retained profits in a limited company. It offers a two-year tracker at 1.98% – BoE base rate plus 1.48 percentage points – available up to 60% loan-to-value, with a £1,995 fee. It also has a two-year fix at 2.48%.

my friend just gave me a 60's honda trail 90 and im gonna ride it up the coast from encinitas to del mar everyday for work for shits and giggles. anyways, i dont know where to get parts but just from looking at it briefly its gonna need front and back brake work (hopefully just cables) a funny little battery (prob a pep boys trip will do) and some skinny little tires...anyone know a good site for this kind of stuff?
Hdlparts.com - will show you OEM parts diagrams.
If you're just needing cables, brake shoes, etc - go to your local bike shop. Aftermarket parts will be cheaper and quicker to order. Tucker Rocky, Parts Unlimited, or Western Powersports are a couple good aftermarket distributors. Most bike shops should be setup with at least one of these guys, and all 3 of these distributors have warehouses in CA so shipping should be practically next day.
I'll look up parts for you if you give me the exact year and a list of what you're needing.
yea yea yea, i get it. been lookin there obviously, but someones people have little hidden gem's or hard to find websites...theres a lot of trash to filter thru.

The Thomas Fire, which has been burning in the coastal areas of southern California for over two weeks has affected over 272,000 acres of land, making it the second largest wildfire in the modern history of California.
On Tuesday, the huge blaze surpassed the Rush Fire of 2012, which was sparked by lightning and affected a total area of 271,911 acres in Lassen County. The wildfire's massive size is surpassed only by the Cedar Fire in 2003, which affected a total of 272,246 acres in San Diego County.
The wildfire started on Dec. 4 in the foothills near Santa Paula in Ventura County. With the help of relentless gusts of wind, the fire continued to spread rapidly. Seventeen days since it first started, the massive wildfire is still only 60 percent contained.
A short period of calmer winds allowed firefighters to make considerable gains in the containment of the blaze, with Sunday and Monday being hailed as some of the most productive days in battling the blaze.
However, authorities are now expecting the powerful winds to return and pose more challenges to their efforts. According to forecasts, new gusts of Santa Barbara's powerful sundowner winds are expected to arrive Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. The Santa Barbara County side of the fire will be affected by the winds first, before shifting to the Ventura County side of the fire.
"It is a very large fire, so you're going to have different wind effects over different parts of the fire," said Joe Sirard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
The arrival of the winds may be enough to push the Thomas fire to grow larger than the Rush Fire, making it the largest wildfire in California's modern history.
The blaze has claimed the lives of two people, including one firefighter, destroyed over 1,000 structures, and forced the evacuation of thousands of Southern California residents. With the winds complicating the battle against the massive blaze, fire officials do not anticipate the Thomas fire to be fully contained until Jan. 8.

TV Tonight wins "People's Choice" Award in Best Australian Blogs
May 10th, 2012 By David Knox 82 commentsFiled under: News, Top Stories,
TV Tonight has won the People's Choice Award in the Best Australian Blogs 2012 Competition.
The competitive category saw 941 blogs competing in The People's Choice round in the awards run by the Sydney Writers' Centre.
This is the first time my blog has won any accolade since I launched the site 5 years ago. I'm absolutely stoked with the result and I really appreciate everyone who took the time to vote for me.
As you know this site has been about passion for Television in all its glory: Australian content, when it's great, when it isn't, when we deserve better, feature interviews with talent and creative, breaking the scoops, staying on top of those pesky programme changes, keeping the networks honest, serving as a go-between audience and networks, taking readers behind the scenes……..
There are now over 20,000 posts on the site and over 250,000 comments. The site now averages over 380,000 unique viewers and 1.7m page views per month -and remains completely independent.
Yes it is a punishing schedule for a solo blog. I think by now most of you know I attend to the site every day of the year, including on my holidays (my friends keep telling me off). But knowing that the site has an effect and is so appreciated is what drives me.
A total of 17,250 people voted in the People's Choice Awards with TV Tonight receiving 785 votes, just 16 votes ahead of the runner up. Phew!
I'd like to thank the Sydney Writers' Centre and acknowledge my web designer David McDonald, the publicists who I deal with on a daily basis (especially when I am asking those questions you wish I wasn't!), but most especially I would like to thank you all for remaining so damned loyal. You guys rock!
David Knox.
PRESS RELEASE (The Sydney Writers' Centre):
The Sydney Writers' Centre today announced the winners for the Best Australian Blogs Competition for 2012. David Knox's much-loved TV blog TV tonight http://tvtonight.com.au/ won the People's Choice round with a total of 785 votes. 17,250 votes were cast in the People's Choice round.
"We were overwhelmed by number of votes the People's Choice round received. It's an excellent sign that the Australian blogosphere is booming," said competition coordinator Rose Powell. "TV Tonight is a well-loved blog. David writes a rich range of great content, and has developed a very loyal readership. We're delighted he won
the People's Choice round."
1,024 blogs entered the competition; almost double the 570 entries in 2011. Of those entrants, 941 bloggers opted to enter the People's Choice round.

I know what you're thinking, "overload!" "Too much!" But hang on, really think about each ingredient. Each of their texture. Their individual taste and their own juice factors. Now think about all of them together. Do you see it now? Taste it in your imagination maybe?
Honestly though, this quiche is so tasty! It is a lovely light summer dish perfect for those casual dinner parties or those gourmet outdoor picnics in the park. It covers all the bases of a proper meal with the salmon chunks and eggs for protein, tomatoes, spinach, leeks and herbs for vitamins and minerals, cheese and milk for calcium, and the pâte feuilleté for carbs. Enjoy it with a nice bottle of Chasselas blanc or a tangy bottle of Rosé. Mmm..
Pre-heat the oven at 200°C. Place the pâte feuilletée in a round baking dish.
In a wok, sauté the shallots and garlic until shallots are soft and translucent. Add the leeks and then the salmon cubes. Season with salt and pepper, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Finally, add the spinach, and quickly remove from heat. Set aside and let it cool.
In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cream, milk, salt, nutmeg and saffron. Mix all ingredients together until well-incorporated.
Place the sautéed salmon and veggies on the dough. Make sure to distribute them equally throughout the pan. Add the cherry tomatoes, and then the feta cheese. Sprinkle some parsley and dill over the dish. Now, pour the egg/cream mixture gently. Top with a bit of grated goat's cheese. Place the dish in the hot oven, and let it cook for 45 minutes.

Q: C# retrieve JSON from URL I am creating a program that gets the steam market prices for various CS:GO items, and compares them to one another. I am having trouble getting the steam market JSON into my program. Market JSON
Here is my code:
using (WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    WebClient n = new WebClient(); // <-- error on this line
    string json = n.DownloadString("http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=730&market_hash_name=P250%20%7C%20Valence%20(Factory%20New");
    dynamic array = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
    test.Text = array.lowest_price.ToString(); ;
}

I am getting this error when instanciating WebClient():

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in
  System.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (500)
  Internal Server Error.

Is this even a valid JSON? If not, is there an alternative? I heard backpack.tf has an api as well. Would this be better?
Thanks

A: Looks like the URL is malformed. I.just tried http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=730&market_hash_name=Shadow%20Case and it returned a good response.
Of particular note is the enclosed parenthesis in your URL.

A: Fixed code:
using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    var json = webClient.DownloadString("http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=730&market_hash_name=P250%20%7C%20Valence%20(Factory%20New)");
    dynamic array = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
    var price = array.lowest_price.ToString(); ;
}

g) You are comfortable making UX decisions.


Step 2: Make and drink a margarita.
Step 3: Desired weekend plane ticket currently costs an entire paycheck. This is infringing on your spontaneity. Try to measure in more reasonable units. That is still an obscene amount of shoes to justify. You are categorically not a baller.
Step 5: Melt 5 Tbs butter. Pulse 14 graham cracker (the big cookie of 4 sections) in a food processor or smash with a hammer. Combine in a bowl with 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teas salt, 1 Tbs triple sec, and 2 Tbs tequila.
Step 6: Fling buttery, tequila-y graham cracker crumbs all over your kitchen. Feel like a jerk cause the cleaning lady did such a nice job cleaning.
Step 7: Decide "I DO WHAT I WANT!!111!!!" Fling crumbs into your mouth.
Step 8: Decide buttery, tequila-y graham cracker crumbs are good enough to just eat with a spoon.
Step 9: Press crumb mixture into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool while you make the filling.
Step 7: Continue making a mess.
Step 8: Combine 3 egg yolks, (reserve the whites and set aside), 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, zest of 3 limes, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 Tbs tequila, 2 teas triple sec in a large bowl and whisk until well blended and eggs are frothy.
Step 9: Splatter mixture all over your ice cream maker which you've neglected to put away since Saturday.
Step 10: Pour into pie crust. Meanwhile, put egg whites in the bowl of a large stand mixer and beat on high until soft peaks form. Add 1/2 teas cream of tartar and 1/3 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form and meringue is glossy.
Step 11: Pour in 1 Tbs tequila because tequila is awesome. Mix until just combined.
Step 12: Spoon gently on top of lime mixture. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate for at lest one hour before eating. Garnish with a gentle sprinkle of sea salt just before serving. Or not.
Step 14: Post on instagram.

So once this pie had some time to mellow in the fridge, I realized the filling was kind of hit-you-in-the-face-jello-shot boozy, which seemed inappropriate for breakfast this morning. Ammended for a little less alcohol in the custard.

Shaft: Samuel L. Jackson & Richard Roundtree Want Millennials To Get Rid Of 'Those Damn' Cell Phones
Catch the hilarious sequel to 'Shaft' in theaters NOW.
It's been nearly two decades since the last time we saw Shaft on the big screen, and unsurprisingly, he's still one bad mother (shut yo mouth) in 2019. The highly anticipated sequel to the classic action comedy hit theaters on Friday and folks can't stop talking about it.
Shaft is the follow up movie to the 2000 film of the same name and tells the story of John Shaft Jr., a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, who enlists his estranged father's help to uncover the truth behind his best friend's untimely death.
I recently caught up with the all three generations of Shaft's (Samuel L. Jackson, Jessie T. Usher & Richard Roundtree) as they dished on playing the iconic character at in different eras, and learning from each other.
Samuel Jackson: My Shaft was an angry Shaft. By the time we get to this one and they want to turn it into an action comedy, I mellowed a bit. I let my sense of humor come out a little bit more, not as angry anymore. More sarcastic.
Richard Roundtree: I just showed up.
As for the comparisons between the millennial generation like Jessie's and the generations before that, both Richard and Samuel had lots to say about Gen Y and our addiction to cell phones.
Richard Roundtree: I wish they'd get rid of the got damn cell phones. The entire thing.
Samuel to Richard: You like dropping dimes in phones calling your service?
RR: I don't mind that compared to sitting at a got damn light and somebody's on their phone [mimics millennials texting]
Does he have a point? Check out the full video above to see what else the cast had to say, and catch Shaft in theaters now!
