A few months ago, I had an order of 6 carrot cakes. So I bought a whole pack (2kg of cream cheese) because it's just cheaper to buy in bulk, right? Though I don't actually need to use so much cream cheese. But anyway, extra means I get to bake cheesecakes! Initially I wanted to bake a dense cheesecake but I wasn't sure what was I thinking that day, I baked a Japanese Cotton cheesecake instead. So since I've done the original one, a matcha one (Oh, I haven't posted it up eh?) I thought I'd continue and do another Japanese flavour inspired one. Black sesame it is then. But instead of having a whole Black piece of cake, I marbled it. It looks pretty, like yin and yang.
I really like the smokey, nutty and sweet flavour of black sesame. I mean, you can see from this, this and this.. Lol, overused ingredient Haha..
1. Melt cream cheese, butter, half of the milk, vanilla seeds and pod, over a double boiler. In another bowl, mix the remaining milk and black sesame paste. Whisk it well so it becomes a smooth paste. (May need to heat over double boiler to soften it) Strain the mixture through a sieve just to make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese. Cool the mixture. Fold the first cream cheese mixture in the flour, the cornflour, salt, egg yolks, lemon zest and mix well. Divide the mixture to 2 bowls, add the black sesame paste on another. So now you have 2 bowls, 1 plain and 1 with black sesame.
3. Add the cheese mixture and toasted black sesame seeds to the egg white mixture and fold well for both. Lightly grease and line the bottom and sides of the pan; make sure the paper is 1.5 inch higher than the pan as the cake will rise pretty high if u've done it right, with greaseproof baking paper or parchment paper). Wrap the base of your cake tin with aluminium foil if you are using a springform tin, to prevent seepage. Pour half of plain cream cheese mixture into a 8-inch round cake pan, dollop half of the black sesame cream cheese mixture sparingly. Then add in the remaining of both. Use a skewer to draw figures of 8 around, in the cake pan .Cover the top of the cake loosely with an aluminium sheet.
Good idea this. My previous three attempts on JCC was not successful. Love the addition of the seeds into the cake.
Oh Pickyin, what happened ?? the technique is very much like chiffon cake, just the baking method is different..
Are u using the large jar of sesame paste you bought from a food expo some time ago?
I wonder if that taste the same as homemade ones.
Wendy, yup. long lasting jar of paste. Hopefully this year I'll be able to buy another bottle.
Mine aaa… all the time collapse when cooling off. First time my fault, brought out of the oven immediately. Second time reduced temp last 10 minutes of cooking, once the temp went down the cake collapsed. Third time I opened the oven to remove the water bath, it collapsed again.
Hmm, sound so good with black sesame aroma, must try one day but don't know when, a long waiting list to try, hehehe..Next time call me if you have excess cream cheese, i can buy some from you lo..
THE TEXTURE LOOKS PERFECT !!
I love Japanese cotton cheesecake. The texture is out of this world! And I also love black sesame things, I adore the nutty aroma they provide. I've bookmarked this page and can't wait to try it!
I love how light Japanese cheesecake is and you've only made it better with the addition of black sesame one of my fav ingredients!
hi, how are you? i can really see how soft it is, it's really special with black sesame!btw, after your blogmakeover, i find that it's so much easier to assess..very much faster!
Looks Yummy! 🙂 Nice one!!
This looks so awesome! Great idea on the marble cheesecake!
I also bought lots of cream cheese the other day, cos like you, I thought it's cheaper to buy in bulk. May try making this since my mum likes black sesame and it looks so beautiful.
Babysumo, downside of getting cream cheese in bulk is that it needs to be used up really quickly as they don't keep well..
First of all it looks very delicious this cottoncake.
However I find the recipe a bit confusing. For instance you said we should add vanilla pod and lemon zest but you don't state it in the ingredient list. Also it's kinda unclear to me which mixture to add to another mixture.


This week, Phispers brings you news on US President Donald Trump's new payment model, proposed ahead of the midterm polls, to closely align the cost of Medicare Part B drugs with the prices in other countries.
The USFDA approved Japanese drugmaker Shionogi's pathbreaking one-dose flu drug Xofluza. Lundbeck's hopes from its new schizophrenia treatment were dashed as it failed the critical phase III trial.
J&J's blockbuster prostate cancer drug lost a patent battle.
Four former Genentech employees in the US were indicted by a federal grand jury for the alleged theft of the company's trade secrets.
And, there was more bad news from Aurobindo Pharma, as the FDA alerted patients and healthcare professionals to ScieGen's voluntary recall of irbesartan, the API for which is manufactured by the Indian drug major.
In the US, healthcare is a major issue in the midterm elections, which are due to take place next week. As a precursor to the elections, President Donald Trump has proposed a new payment model that would more closely align the cost of Medicare Part B drugs with the prices paid for the same drugs in other countries.
Medicare pays for drugs through two programs — Part B and Part D. Part D drugs are picked up at the pharmacy or through mail order, while Part B covers treatments administered by a doctor or in a hospital or clinic.
For physician-administered drugs, Medicare pays for the cost of the product, plus 6 percent. Critics have said the system creates incentives for doctors to prescribe more expensive therapies, and for drugmakers to raise prices.
In order to prevent that, the federal health officials unveiled the 'International Pricing Index' model, and projected that the proposal could save Medicare more than US$ 17 billion during the next five years. Under the new proposal, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would pay a target price based on international prices for Part B drugs and look to alternatives for the add-on fee.
Trump said he wanted to stop "global freeloading" by other governments through the proposed change to Medicare. The program covers more than 50 million elderly or disabled Americans.
Trump's announcement came a few hours after his administration released a study 'Comparison of US and International Prices for Top Medicare Part B Drugs by Total Expenditures' that said the prices charged by drug manufacturers to wholesalers and distributors (commonly referred to as ex-manufacturers prices) in the US are 1.8 times higher than in other countries for the top drugs by total expenditures separately paid under Medicare Part B. Drug prices in the US were higher for most drugs included in the analysis.
To begin with, the Trump administration will test the new pricing model in half the country, targeting drugs made by a single manufacturer, Health Secretary Alex Azar said. Over time, the aim is to drive down the cost of those medications by 30 percent, Azar added.
CMS aims to gather comments over the next several months ahead of issuing a proposed rule by next spring. According to Health and Human Services officials, if the model is finalized, it would kick off in the spring of 2020.
According to Wall Street investment analyst Ronny Gal of Bernstein, three drug companies — Roche, Amgen and Regeneron — would be particularly hard hit by the move. Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly would also be affected.
On March 1, PharmaCompass had carried news that Japan had approved Shionogi & Co Ltd.'s Xofluza — a pathbreaking drug that cures flu with just one dose. The drug is a treatment for influenza A and influenza B.
The single dose feature gives Xofluza an edge over other neuraminidase inhibitors like Tamiflu and Relenza. For example, Tamiflu typically requires two doses each day for five days. Therefore, there are nine more doses of Tamiflu required, as compared to Xofluza.
Shionogi aims to double the global market for flu treatment with Xofluza. Bolstered by an early approval for the new drug, Shionogi raised its full-year operating profit outlook to 124.5 billion yen (US$ 1.11 billion), beating the average market estimates of 121.08 billion yen (US$ 1.07 billion).
"While the global market of flu drug is said to be about US$ 1 billion to US$ 1.5 billion, we want to expand it to around US$ 3 billion," Shionogi CEO Isao Teshirogi said.
Though the FDA approval for Xofluza has been granted to Shionogi, Genentech (a member of the Roche Group) will be marketing the medication in the US.
Danish pharma company Lundbeck reported disappointing phase III results for its schizophrenia treatment. Lundbeck had high hopes from this new schizophrenia treatment, provisionally named Lu AF35700. The company thought it to be a superior treatment than its current offerings Risperidone or Olanzapine, and analysts were predicting blockbuster sales.
"The first phase III study for Lu AF35700, an investigational, novel, once-daily, oral antipsychotic drug candidate for the potential treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS), did not meet the primary endpoint of statistical superiority vs. conventional therapy," a statement issued by Lundbeck said.
"Lu AF35700 showed good anti-psychotic effects, was well-tolerated and safe at 10 mg and 20 mg dosages in the study. Further analysis of the data is ongoing," it added.
Lundbeck is estimated to lose US$ 4 billion due to this debacle. The company now has its hopes pinned on Foliglurax, a new treatment for Parkinson's disease, which is in its second phase of testing, along with an Alzheimer's treatment which is in phase one.
Earlier this month, Novo Nordisk announced its intention to produce treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's – this is the first time the fellow Dane pharma giant has ever encroached on Lundbeck's territory.
Johnson & Johnson lost the case in a US district court wherein it asserted its patent claims for Zytiga (abiraterone acetate), its blockbuster prostate cancer drug. This will potentially enable the launch of generics in the coming one week or so.
The Court held that the patent claims would be infringed if the patent were valid. The patent infringement case was filed against several companies who have submitted Abbreviated New Drug Applications for 250 mg and/or 500 mg tablets.
Johnson & Johnson though isn't giving up the fight for Zytiga. Janssen (a J&J company) said it "strongly disagrees with the court's ruling and will continue to defend the patent".
The company has filed a motion for rehearing with the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) in connection with the prior inter partes review decisions related to the 438 patent.
The Court has ordered that status quo be maintained through October 30, 2018, and no generic launch shall occur before October 31, 2018, so that Janssen's preliminary injunction motion to enjoin defendants from launching their generic products pending the appeal process can be decided.
Zytiga has been driving growth for J&J ever since its launch back in 2011. Even now, its sales are growing at a fast clip — Zytiga generated US$ 1.42 billion in the US in the first nine months of 2018, a 71 percent boost year on year. In Europe, Zytiga is protected by regulatory exclusivity through September 2022.
However, J&J executives insist they don't need Zytiga for sales growth. On the company's third-quarter conference call, they said the company has a broad pharma portfolio that turned in 8.2 percent growth excluding currency effects. Without Zytiga, the unit still grew by 6.6 percent. Moreover, Zytiga's international growth can help soften the blow.
Internationally, the drug posted sales of US$ 1.29 billion through the first nine months of this year, marking an increase of 40 percent.
Back in 2013, two former Eli Lilly scientists were accused of stealing US$ 55 million in trade secrets on behalf of a Chinese drug company. And last month, a cancer researcher in the US, named Yu Xue, was accused of stealing GSK's trade secrets for a string of companies called Renopharma Inc.
This week, four former Genentech employees in the US were indicted by a federal grand jury for the alleged theft of company trade secrets in order to help a company in Taiwan — JHL Biotech, Inc — develop drugs similar to those made by the Roche subsidiary. Founded in 2012, JHL Biotech develops biosimilar drugs primarily for marketing in China.
The jury indicted Xanthe Lam (a principal scientist who was with Genentech from 1985 until last year), Allen Lam, Hohn Chan and James Quach for stealing trade secrets. Allen Lam, Xanthe's husband, as well as Chan and Quach were all former employees who became consultants for JHL Biotech.
According to the Department of Justice, JHL develops biosimilar treatments. The four are alleged to have conspired to steal information related to four Genentech drugs — Pulmozyme, Rituxan, Herceptin and Avastin — and provide that information to JHL.
According to the indictment, Xanthe Lam, whose services were terminated by Genentech last year, gathered confidential clinical data about the drugs and sent them to her husband and the other two conspirators. They, in turn, sent the information to JHL Biotech. The indictment also said that while employed at Genentech, Xanthe Lam secretly consulted with the Taiwan-based company.
Xanthe Lam faces multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets. Two of the charges carry 10-year sentences and US$ 250,000 fines each. The other two carry five-year prison sentences and US$ 250,000 fines each.
Earlier this month, we had carried news on Aurobindo Pharma — on October 8, the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) suspended Aurobindo's CEP (Certificate of Suitability), effectively stopping the supply in the EU of medicines containing irbesartan from this company.
Irbesartan is the third sartan to be found with low levels ofN-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a known animal and suspected human carcinogen. The detection of impurities – N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and NDEA – in valsartan from Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals over the last few months has led to an EU-wide review of all valsartan medicines. The review was subsequently extended to other 'sartan' medicines when very low levels of NDEA were found in losartan made by Hetero Labs in India.
This week, FDA alerted patients and health care professionals to ScieGen's voluntary recall of certain lots of irbesartan because they contain NDEA. FDA laboratory testing confirmed NDEA in some lots of ScieGen's irbesartan. ScieGen's irbesartan products are labeled as Westminster Pharmaceuticals and Golden State Medical Supply, Inc.
ScieGen's recall affects about 1 percent of the irbesartan drug products in the US market.
Aurobindo Pharma, which manufactures the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for ScieGen's irbesartan products, is recalling all unexpired lots of its irbesartan API supplied to the US market with NDEA.

Obama seeks to draw attention to manufacturing at Bakery Square
Courier Newsroom
President Barack Obama shows his I-Pad case as an example of a product made by a small start-up company while answering questions after making remarks during a tour of Bakery Square's TechShop, a membership-based manufacturing workshop in Pittsburgh, that's a model for the kind of sharing of resources he wants to see more of Tuesday, June 17, 2014. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Surrounded by an array of gadgets and high tech equipment, President Barack Obama pledged to boost American manufacturing and to give entrepreneurs greater access to production tools that would help bring their ideas to fruition.
Obama visited this venerable steel manufacturing city to showcase a workshop chain called TechShop, a variation on a tool lending library that provides high-end instruments to hobbyists, tinkerers and start-up businesses to help them realize their innovations. The tour was designed to draw attention to Obama's own plan to make more government technology and assets available to the private sector.
"I can't rent the space shuttle out to you," he joked. "But there are areas where we can in fact enhance what is already being done by companies like TechShop."
To maintain the U.S. edge in innovation, Obama said, "we've got to have basic research, we've got to have skills like math and science and engineering that that are developed, we also have to provide platforms for people who have these ideas to go out there and actually make stuff."
From Pittsburgh, Obama was flying to New York City for a gala lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee. The fundraiser comes a day after the White House announced plans for Obama to sign an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The trip combines important election-year tasks for Obama — maintaining a focus on the economy, raising money and nurturing an important Democratic voting and donor bloc.
The Pittsburgh visit is part of Obama's renewed emphasis on how to create jobs and improve wages. During the next several weeks Obama is looking to cut through the current foreign policy flare-ups with an emphasis on working families, manufacturing, wages and the need for greater spending on infrastructure projects.
That attention could be crucial in an election year when some Democrats in vulnerable races are not embracing other top Obama issues like climate change and health care.
Also Tuesday, the White House announced that the administration was giving entrepreneurs easier access to high-tech equipment at more than 700 research and development facilities, such as NASA's National Center for Advanced Manufacturing in New Orleans and the Energy Department's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. In addition, five federal agencies will spend more than $150 million in research to support the Material Genome Initiative, a government and private-sector partnership designed to speed up the development of innovative materials.
Obama touted technological advances that are putting production tools in the hands of anybody who has a good idea. He showed off his own iPad case that was made by DODOcase, a company that made its first prototype of the product at a TechShop in California.
"Cost of a gym membership, you have access to all this equipment," Obama said as he marveled at the output of the shop.
The administration is paying special attention to manufacturing, a current bright spot in the economy. A White House report released Tuesday said manufacturing output had increased 30 percent since the recession ended, growing at a pace nearly twice that of the overall economy.
In New York, Obama will attend three big-dollar fundraisers, with the gay community gala as the centerpiece. Obama will also headline his first super PAC fundraiser as the main draw for the Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic group that takes unlimited donations. Obama's appearance will cap what has been a gradual acceptance of the big-money groups he once decried.
Obama will conclude the night at a fundraising dinner at the home of the Vogue editor, Anna Wintour.
The president is likely to get a rousing reception at the gala in response to his decision to act on workplace discrimination, even if it is limited to the federal contracting workforce.
Obama lacks authority to extend that protection to all Americans, but the order being drafted by the White House would affect about 14 million workers whose employers or states currently do not prohibit workplace discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals. The scope of the measure was tabulated by the Williams Institute at UCLA Law School, which studies sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy.
Obama had resisted signing the order in hopes Congress would pass a broader non-discrimination measure that would apply to nearly all employers. While the Democratic-controlled Senate passed the legislation last year, the measure has languished in the Republican-led House and there is little sign that lawmakers will take it up in an election year.

In the torbo "grit blasting process", the blasting media and water already meet in the blasting vessel and are conveyed out of the machine with air pressure. This reduces wear on the hose and nozzle. Paints, varnishes and dirt are removed effortlessly, while the sensitive surfaces underneath shine in new brilliance. Consumption is much lower than with other sandblasting machines.
The surface treatment of the torbo systems ranges from the preservation of historical monuments to the cleaning of facades and the elimination of fire damage. Our blasting system has also been in great demand in the metal, ship and steel industries for many years. Even hardship cases such as osmosis and corrosion (rust), graffiti or old coatings are no problem. The dust-free, mobile and fast blasting method with torbo convinces communities, the construction industry and specialist companies like Offshore and Petrochemical.
All torbo wet abrasive blasting machines are developed and produced in Germany. We attach great importance to high quality, easy operability and an attractive design. Over the years, a worldwide network of torbo partners has been established, so that customers in other countries also receive fast, professional and reliable help. The torbo sandblasters can be operated almost everywhere effortlessly (even in EX-protected areas) without long preparation time.
The demonstration of this system as a one-man-appliance conviced all the experts present of the quantitative and qualitative performance.
Very satisfied. In use since 2 years. Renovations of wood and concrete. Great!
We are very satiesfield. No health risks during renovation of concrete for the operators.


Liverpool and Arsenal will want to take note of this statement from Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Antero Henrique on the Adrien Rabiot transfer situation.
The PSG chief has more or less confirmed Rabiot will be on his way out of the Parc des Princes as he says the player has told him he doesn't want to sign a new contract and is planning to leave when he becomes a free agent this summer.
This is a big blow for PSG, for whom Rabiot has been a key player for a number of years now, while he also arguably still has his best years ahead of him.
Many big clubs have been linked with the France international, with the Mirror recently translating a L'Equipe report that Liverpool and Barcelona have been in touch about snapping him up, while the Sun have linked him with both Arsenal and Tottenham.
Rabiot could clearly fit in well at either Arsenal or Liverpool in particular, with both sides arguably in need of strengthening with a midfielder of that type.
At Anfield, summer signings Fabinho and Naby Keita have been inconsistent since joining this season, while Arsenal lost Jack Wilshere in the summer, while Aaron Ramsey will be out of contract at the end of this campaign.


Nubia Nelly Pacheco's Power Point slides posted on the Middlebury University site (listed on http://www.russnet.org/learn.html) has been compiled into a word document that took me a good couple of hours to properly transcribe.
This is obviously not for people who know what they are doing already, but for those of us who want a small guide to carry around and study when at the University or at Work (if it gets slow, obviously) can print this off and study as you go!
I compiled this in Word 2007 so it may need a few touch-ups on earlier versions of Word. Some of the text may look stranger or enlarged in sections it shouldn't be. Just make a few minor adjustments if they really irk your dirk.
А, Я, Э, Е, Ы, И, О, Ё, У, Ю - a strange order. Shouldn't it be the order in which they appear in the Alphabet (and like you did with consonants)?
NOTE: After Nominative Case, endings of gender nouns begin to change.
I suppose it could confuse a learner a bit... What does "after" mean? I'd say, "In other cases (except Nominative) endings of gender nouns change".
Well, they end with an "a"/"я", too... Папа, дядя, дедушка... Maybe that's some exeption though, I don't know.
It's Учитель, by the way.
Don't write that for the neuter. It's not "same as Masculine". First, the neuter cannot be animate (well, only maybe in tales). Second, there is a rule which comes from Latin, and it's the same in Russian: for the neuter gender the accusative form = the nominative form, as in singular, as in plural. Always.
After Ш, Щ, Ж, Ч, Ц, you can only write an O if it is accented and an E if it is not accented.
Hm... But there are words like шёпот, щёлкать, чётный, жёлудь... and many others.
Russian nouns name persons, places, and things. However, whenever you use nouns in the Russian language you have to know with which case you are using them. As a result, the nouns will have different endings depending on the case you are using. The table below shows how the endings of nouns will change with each case.
I'm afraid, I didn't understand that table "below". There are strange forms in it (they are wrong): Другя, Газети, Местя, Другю, Местю, Газетю, Другем, Газетей, Местем. What are they for? To show the incorrect forms maybe?
Thank you Olya. I'll make the changes as soon as I get home.
EDIT: Changes made, except I didn't understand the last part - the one about the nouns being incorrect. Do you think you could correct the table for me and send it to me? I wasn't sure what you meant.
A methodology to get those verbs aspects in your head..

In July of 2011, the Alliance for Catholic Education launched the School Pastors' Institute (SPI), a leadership formation symposium for pastors of a Catholic school. Developed at the request of (arch)bishops from across the country, the SPI is designed to respond to the unique and increasingly complex challenges and opportunities related to serving as a pastor of a parish school. Since 2011, the SPI has brought together 1,060 pastors from 134 different (arch)dioceses to look more closely at the crucial role that the pastor plays in the parish school, as well as to foster best practices and collaboration among those engaged in this vital ministry. Now, more than ever, we need pastors understand, support, and advocate for Catholic schools.
Conference Goals and Content
The School Pastors' Institute is animated by our mission to embrace, educate, and empower children, families, educators, leaders, pastors, and others committed to the apostolate of K-12 Catholic education. The conference will be rooted in three key areas: pastor as spiritual leader, the pastor and principal relationship, and the unique and critical role of the pastor in the Catholic school. Topics will include Catholic identity, financial management and advancement, the formation of personnel, the recruitment of Latino children to Catholic schools, and public funding for Catholic schools. The SPI will also include breakout sessions for first-time school pastors, international priests who are new to the U.S. Catholic schools system, pastors with alternative governance models, pastors of regional or combined schools, pastors of rural parishes, associate pastors, and high school chaplains.
The School Pastors' Institute will take place on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, July 6-8, 2020. In addition to the main program, we are offering the option to stay an additional evening/day for a Day of Recollection, which will include several additional talks, time for personal reflection, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the opportunity for sacramental confession.
Please note the start/end times of the 2020 conference below in order to plan your travel accordingly.
School Pastors' Institute - Main Program: July 6-8, 2020
The main program will begin on Monday, July 6, at 5:30 p.m. and conclude on Wednesday, July 8, at noon.
Optional Day of Recollection: July 8-9, 2020
The Day of Recollection will begin on Wednesday, July 8, at 3:30 p.m. and conclude on Thursday, July 9, at noon.
Registration for the 2020 School Pastors' Institute is now open!
The registration fee is $400 for the three-day, two-night main program, which includes room and board and all materials. For those who choose to attend the SPI with the additional Day of Recollection, the registration fee is $500. Please note that participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the University of Notre Dame. Please note that space is limited, so register early to reserve your spot.
For any questions, please contact Steve McClure at or 574-631-0014.

"I learned a lot from the School Pastors' Institute; it inspired me to love St. Paul's Catholic School more deeply. Our devoted principal is committed to keeping the Catholic identity in our school, as are our teachers, who are trained by Notre Dame. I am happy to be their pastor, encouraging and appreciating their ministry at the school. I have been so impressed by the Notre Dame campus and its spiritual atmosphere radiating here."
Fr. George Vaniyapurackal
St. Paul's Catholic Church
Diocese of St. Augustine
"I was overwhelmed by my experience at the School Pastors' Institute; I can't wait for this new school year to start. This week has made me look at the school through a different set of lenses. I am also excited that my new principal graduated from the ACE program, and I truly believe this will allow us to be on the same page as we work together for the good of the children."
Fr. John Tetlow
San Juan Del Rio Catholic Church
"One of the great lessons I received from the School Pastors' Institute centered on opportunities one can take advantage of when supporting your school principal. It truly reaffirmed my commitment to strengthen, as a pastor, a ministry of presence, with the entire school family. I'm excited to bring back to our parish campus the resources that were offered, along with the experience that other participants brought to the table!"

When there are issues or disputes over your workers' compensation benefits, you'll be asked to undergo an independent medical exam (IME). These exams are done by the doctor your employer or employer's insurance company hires – he or she will ask you about your condition, the accident, and the extent of your impairment. Because the outcome of an IME can significantly impact your workers' compensation case, it's important that you are well prepared.
The doctor will be given your medical records beforehand and will ask you a series of questions regarding past injuries. Before your appointment, take time to familiarize yourself with your medical history. While it's important that you don't hide any past injuries, you shouldn't downplay them either.
Time and time again, you'll be asked to go over how your accident happened – and an IME is no exception. Try and remember every detail of your accident because it's likely the examiner wants an in-depth account of what happened. Even though workers' compensation operates on a "no-fault" system, the doctor will want to make sure the accident is work-related.
What medication have you been prescribed? How many procedures have you had done? You don't need to memorize every specific part of your treatment, but you should have a general understanding of the type of treatment you've received and when you received it.
Bringing a trusted friend or relative to the exam can prove to be very beneficial. Ask them to take notes during the exam, but to not interject. Should there be any discrepancies regarding how the exam went, you'll be thankful you had a witness present.
At the Law Offices of Wax & Wax, our Glendale workers' compensation lawyers have worked together for more than 25 years, representing injured workers throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Call (818) 964-0608 or fill out our online form to request your free consultation.


"Spend some time in South Korea to get an insight into the people and culture"
*daily rates in South Korea based on a 1 day rental (24hr period) and for guidance purposes only.
We'd recommend that you consider hiring a 4x4 vehicle from Seoul's Incheon or Gimpo airports. For the best prices here at Rhinocarhire.com you'll see the complete range of vehicles we offer in South Korea. Prices are very low as we search for the best deals at both airports and bring them to you at car hire at Seoul Airport and Gimpo Airport.
South Korea Car Hire - Did You Know?
The country was embroiled in the first war of the Cold War era in 1950 which claimed the lives of over 2.5m people.
A diverse range of people visit the country. From business travellers keen to trade with one of Asia's tiger economies to tourists who want to come to see the traditional sights of the country outside of the busy modern cities. The tension with the North Korean government also gives the country a frisson of excitement which attracts those interested in seeing the demilitarised zone near the border.
How do I get Into South Korea?
South Korea has three main international airports; Incheon and Gimpo in Seoul and Gimhae Airport in Busan. These field most of the international flights to the country from Europe and North America. Asiana and Korean Air both fly from London Heathrow to Incheon and to fly to other parts of South Korea you'll need to organise domestic flights which mainly leave Seoul from Gimpo Airport. Once at the airport you'll find transport into the city very easy with a fast subway style train system linking the airport with Seoul and Gimpo Airport. Alternatives are to hire a car at Incheon if staying in the city and then travelling around the country.
What is There to See and Do in South Korea?
South Korea is split into nine distinctive regions, each offering something different to the visitor. Gyeonggi is close to the demilitarised zone and contains the capital Seoul. Suwon, another major city of the region has a fabulous 18th century fortress which is now a UNESCO site. Gangwon on the northeast coast is an eclectic mix of jungle, beautiful beaches and strangely, ski resorts. South Chungcheong has what most people would expect of South Korea with mile upon mile of rice paddies but it also has several spa facilities using the hot springs of the region. The Gyeongsang region has the majority of South Korea's cultural sites but also a number of its best beaches and holiday resorts. South Jeolla has many beautiful tropical islands and is a honeymooner's dream. It's also renowned for its delicious food. Jeju is a large South Korean island off the coast which is volcanic and is popular with South Korean honeymooners.
What is the Food Like in South Korea?
Korean cuisine is in a division of its own with spicy food mixed with fermented ingredients such as kimchi - fermented cabbage and doenjang - fermented soybean paste. The flavours can take some getting used to and there's a lot of salt used in Korean cooking but it's definitely worth trying.
South Korea is being touted as the new Vietnam or Cambodia, there's a lot to see varying between the military might on the border and the natural wonders and temples. Car hire in South Korea is a great way to see the country but although generally developed, there are many parts of the country where roads are just dirt tracks and a car is a rarity.

Redrow launches latest phase at community in Luton
On Saturday 16th October, we released the third and final phase of homes at Eaton Green Heights, a 297-home community in Luton.
The phase saw the launch of 86 three- and four-bedroom homes from our award-winning Heritage Collection. Influenced by the early 20th-century Arts & Crafts era, the homes feature a combination of traditional exteriors and contemporary spacious interiors.
Two-thirds of the homes are already sold, and 135 new homeowners are moved into this growing community. To date, the homes have proven especially popular with first-time buyers due to the surrounding amenities and unrivalled transport links to the capital: train journeys into London St Pancras take as little as 24 minutes, and commuters can reach Blackfriars in around 45 minutes.
Kerry McCoubrey, Sales Director for the Eastern division, commented: "We are delighted to be launching the final group of homes at our thriving community Eaton Green Heights. Luton is a highly desirable area and with flexible working looking like it's here to stay following the Covid-19 pandemic, we anticipate that the area will continue to attract new buyers and investment. The location offers homeowners the perfect combination of rural greenery and access to vibrant city life, and we look forward to welcoming new buyers to the site so they can experience the benefits of the setting first-hand."
While ideally located for commuters, the site is also set next to the idyllic Chiltern Hills in nearby Dunstable, enabling homeowners to escape to the peace and quiet of the countryside in no time. There has also been significant investment in the local area, with plans for new retail, cinemas, and restaurants.
First time buyers will be able to benefit from the Help to Buy scheme which is available on the 3-bedroom semi-detached Letchworth, priced at £407,400. The downstairs features an expansive kitchen diner with a separate lounge, and upstairs there are three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own en-suite.
All buyers at Eaton Green Heights needing to sell their current home can take advantage of our Help to Sell scheme at no extra cost. We will arrange up to three appraisals of the former property while contributing to estate agent fees, ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible.
Buyers will be able to purchase houses off plan and can personalise their homes through our digital platform MyRedrow, enabling the selection of various extras and upgrades, including flooring, underfloor heating, and fitted wardrobes. For those looking to work from home, we also offer several home office packages, whereby purchasers can reconfigure one of the bedrooms to incorporate dedicated home office furniture.
To find out more about the homes at Eaton Green Heights visit www.redrow.co.uk/eatongreen. Three- and four-bedroom homes are currently available with prices starting at £407,400.

Old English Word of the Week
Dictionary of Old English Word of the Week at Uof T
In the right sidebar of this blog you will find a section called "The Languages".
In my upcoming book about 9th Century Northumbria, Bearing the Saint, there are three languages of importance: Old Norse, Medieval Latin, and Old English.
The last is the one of most interest to me, as it is the language spoken by my protagonists (and by my own personal ancestors, in fact). Like many others today, I first became interested in this ancient tongue via J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was of course a philologist and the fantasy world he created is woven together with his invented languages. But in the case of one group of people in Lord of the Rings, he uses an actual ancient language in which he was expert– Old English, sometimes called Anglo-Saxon, though the latter now usually refers to the people who spoke Old English in the period before the Norman conquest in AD 1066. Tolkien has the Rohirrim speak what is virtually the Mercian dialect of Old English, and portrays them as a pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon warrior culture.
Saint Cuthbert spoke the Northumbrian dialect of this same language, as did the Haliwerfolc company who carried his body away from Lindisfarne in the face of Scandinavian invasion.
The University of Toronto, where I studied Old English at the introductory level in the late 1970's, maintains the online Dictionary of Old English.
A page there is dedicated to an Old English Word of the Week, and this is what I have linked in the sidebar on this blog. I don't know who chooses these words, but here's an interesting choice they've made for the week after Easter this year:
hell-d?ofol
Att. sp.: heldeofol | heldiobul (CorpGl)
2 occ.
devil, glossing Orcus 'god of the infernal regions'
ClGl 1 4502: Orcus orc, þyrs ? heldeofol.
CorpGl 2 13.231: Orcus ðyrs, heldiobul.
Lat. equiv. in MS: Orcus
See also: hell, d?ofol; cf. helled?ofol
OED2 helldeoful s.v. hell n. note after sense 11.a, hell-devil s.v. hell n. sense 12. Cf. MED helle devel s.v. helle sense 2(b).
Does the connection of 'devil' with "Orcus" sound familiar? Here is a brief excerpt from Wikipedia's article on "Orcus", an Etruscan and Roman mythological figure:
From Orcus' association with death and the underworld, his name came to be used for demons and other underworld monsters, particularly in Italian where orco refers to a kind of monster found in fairy-tales that feeds on human flesh. The French word ogre (appearing first in Charles Perrault's fairy-tales) may have come from variant forms of this word, orgo or ogro; in any case, the French ogre and the Italian orco are exactly the same sort of creature. An early example of an orco appears in Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, as a bestial, blind, tusk-faced monster inspired by the Cyclops of the Odyssey; this orco should not be confused with the orca, a sea-monster also appearing in Ariosto. This orco was the inspiration to J. R. R. Tolkien's orcs in his The Lord of the Rings. In a text published in The War of the Jewels, Tolkien stated:
Note. The word used in translation of Q urko, S orch, is Orc. But that is because of the similarity of the ancient English word orc, 'evil spirit or bogey', to the Elvish words. There is possibly no connexion between them. The English word is now generally supposed to be derived from Latin Orcus.
Also, in an unpublished letter sent to Gene Wolfe, Tolkien also made this comment:[2]
Orc I derived from Anglo-Saxon, a word meaning demon, usually supposed to be derived from the Latin Orcus — Hell. But I doubt this, though the matter is too involved to set out here.

Saint Cuthbert in Canada
Wishing all a Happy Canada Day!
Today is a special Canada Day for me, as it is the official release date of Bearing the Saint, my novel about the pilgrimage of the Company of Cuthbert with his body about the north of England and Scotland in the face of the Viking invasion in the late 9th Century AD.
But what does a saint from early medieval Northumbria have to do with Canada? As it happens, there are quite a few churches bearing his name in this fine country, and a few schools. They are Anglican, Old Catholic, Roman Catholic and Presbyterian and perhaps others.
It appears that the oldest St. Cuthbert church in Canada gives its name to the community of Saint-Cuthbert in Quebec. My French is very rusty, and the Google translation is poor, but as near as I can figure out, one James Cuthbert, aide-de-camp to General Wolfe, was in at the fall of Quebec to the British in the late 1700s. James Cuthbert appears to have been one of that ancient family in the north who trace their lineage to the very people my novel is about, the company of Cuthbert, who were made up of both layfolk and monastics, and some of whose earliest members and their children and grandchildren are named in the Historia de Sancto Cuthberto.
One source I've found seems to suggest James Cuthbert's family was Roman Catholic, and the page below seems to be talking about an RC church:
" C'est en 1766 que la localité reçoit le nom de Saint-Cuthbert, lorsque le seigneur James Cuthbert, aide de camp du général Wolfe qui a fait l'acquisition de ces terres quelques années plus tôt, en fait don à la fabrique, à condition que son nom soit donné à la nouvelle municipalité.
L'année suivante, on y érige une petite chapelle en bois et en 1879, l'église en pierre est bâtie à l'initiative de l'abbé Kerbério, curé de Berthier. L'église existe toujours et a été classée monument historique, ainsi que le presbytère, en 1980.
but another page I've found says he had a Protestant chapel built in memory of his wife:
CUTHBERT CHAPEL
The oldest Presbyterian sanctuary in Quebec can be found at the junction of routes 138 and 158. Cuthbert built the chapel to honor the memory of his wife in 1786. It has been protected as a historical monument since 1958, and currently hosts a very convenient visitor's bureau, open from May to October. Travelers will find an informative guide here to over 20 other heritage buildings, including the original Berthier Grammar School (1880-1917) at 562 rue Montcalm and the last of the Cuthbert manor houses in Berthierville at 710 rue Frontenac.
The house built in 1821 by Lanoraie seigneur Ross Cuthbert to accommodate servants stands west of Berthierville on Route 138 (701 Grande-Côte Est.) It was occupied until the 1970s by the last descendant of the Cuthbert family to live in the area, Margaret Bostwick.
If anyone can clarify all this for me, I would love to hear from you. Meanwhile, it's just nice to know that Cuthbert's name appears in Canada from a very early time by Canadian standards. Of course, 1766 is still more than a thousand years after Saint Cuthbert's death…
Meanwhile, I offer this picture of the lovely stained glass St. Cuthbert's cross, taken and cropped from the web page of St. Cuthbert's Anglican Church, Delta BC. I hope they won't mind…I have been to this church a number of times when my daughters took part in music recitals in the bright beautiful space of the church nave.

How changing media consumption habits will affect the future of movies and media at large
In a recent interview for the New York Times, actor-writer Kumail Nanjiani lamented the future of movies as small and medium productions fail to capture the attention of larger ones, even as the theaters featuring those start to become less popular.
The biggest fish get all the food
Nanjiani says the average person goes to a movie theater four times a year and only for the largest productions that draw in the most people. To add to this, people weigh their decision to go depending on whether or not a film is worth watching in a theater. Indeed, even for filmgoers, it's now becoming too easy to talk ourselves out of physically going to movies that are:
Less of a large-scale Avengers Endgame visual spectacle
Too emotionally taxing or complex to commit a night off to
Not worth the money relative to their genre (such as comedies)
Good, but that we're just as happy to wait to download or stream
The pros and cons of the streaming model
While one would think that less screentime in a movie theater simply means more opportunities online, Nanjiani points out that the decreased pressure of box office sales is both a good and bad thing for smaller productions.
The prestige of being displayed in a physical space—whether that be for moving or still images—still remains as does respect for the theater as an institution. To that end, Nanjiani feels movies in theaters still have a better chance of entering the mainstream consciousness over those periodically dumped into the "New on Netflix" section.
However, the biggest threat to film may simply be that audiences stop liking them and the physical (and expensive) spaces that display them might have to change as people have less and less patience to commit to a singular activity.
There are already plenty of people who grew up on movies and TV that have made peace with their nostalgia and moved onto other—some might say more democratized—media for their recreational consumption like podcasts. This, combined with a generation that grew up on more YouTube and online video could be yet another turning point.
And it's not necessarily just an issue of the medium—we've all been there where we binge entire 12-plus-hour Netflix series—but more-so that we as people are resistant to sitting through a two-hour feature film.
"If you look at those people bingeing Netflix shows, they're doing other things at the same time, or they're on their phone," Nanjiani says. "So it's not that people think watching a movie is difficult, it's that they think just watching that movie is difficult."
That said, it would be too easy to say it's purely an issue of today's audiences being busy, impatient and non-committal. After all, Hamilton is credited with reinvigorating Broadway and professional live theatre as a medium by inspiring younger, diverse audiences that might otherwise be disenchanted with stage classics that might not be as relevant anymore.
As Broadway's film counterpart, Hollywood is likewise tackling its own issues of relevance as competitive streaming platforms continue to access more people in their homes with cinema-grade series that speak to them enough to command most of if not all of their attention. What's more, is a movie theater has to compete with better and better home systems while it's safe to say there's less equivalent competition for live performance.
The next mediums
So, it's certain that movies are here to stay, but what of the spaces that show them? Could they start luring people back through their doors or will they have to make way for new mediums that can bring a crowd together, but let them do their own thing at the same time?
We've already seen how movie theatres, along with malls and big box stores have closed down to become arenas for esports, which has successfully transitioned from a small-scale private (and stigmatized) activity to become a profitable form of public entertainment. A recent study by the National Research Group showed that Fortnite players spend 21% of all their free-time playing the game. The future of media was already in flux, and it won't become any clearer going forward. If the current landscape is to be modeled out, we're likely to see a lot of smaller, more niche communities (with their relevant media) break off while the huge blockbusters continue to thrive and battle it out.

American Flat Track competitors Briar Bauman and J.D. Beach will represent the U.S.A. in the fifth international Superprestigio Dirt Track event in Barcelona, Spain, on December 16, 2017.
The other news is that, like Marquez, Baker will not compete due to a previous injury and subsequent off-season rehab. Baker's two wins versus Marquez in previous Superprestigio events had generated plenty of anticipatory buzz for this December's showdown: With Baker and Marquez each having two wins, this outing was sure to determine who really is the Sultan of Slide.
All of which leaves a wide-open opportunity for Superprestigio newcomers Bauman and Beach – along with an international cadre of championship-caliber riders – to grab what's arguably the most prestigious international flat track event of the year, and break the tie that currently exists between Spain and the U.S., each with two wins apiece. A total of seven world champions from a variety of motorcycle racing disciplines are scheduled to take part in the 2017 event in December, including Toni Elias, Johann Zarco, Tom Chareyre, Lucas Mahias, Greg Black, Vincent Philippe and Sylvain Bidart.
A third American rider may be named in the coming days, so stay tuned to AmericanFlatTrack.com for more news, pre-race updates and features.

Ever wonder how to improve your business intuition?
An out of the ordinary thought that appears in a flash can improve your business. A spark of intuition, a mental prompt, may be just what you need to create a leap for your business. So ever wonder how to improve your business intuition?
Because entrepreneurs are busy, caught up in the day to day aspects, it's easy to overlook these random thoughts. But they are worthy of your attention. Your hunch can take your business to the next level.
You may dismiss a break through idea simply because it's unusual. Or maybe it's out of context. Or the idea doesn't neatly fit in with your everyday schedule.
So, how do you tell an innovative idea from a crazy one?
Once you set your mind to notice intuitive sparks they become easy to identify. If you never really considered how intuition can benefit business, here are ways those hunches show up.
Pay attention. Notice ideas that are slightly out of the ordinary. It's easy to dismiss these gut feelings. Those "strange ideas" can lead to a business breakthrough.
Unrelated. Out of context random thoughts appear when you step away from the busy work. They'll pop up when you are doing something completely unrelated. Make a note of those random thoughts. Many of my business coaching clients keep an ideas journal.
Contrary to your expectations. Your business intuition may focus on something that's contrary to your expectations. You may expect Jim to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime. However, Tom, who you dismissed, appears with an irresistible offer. Don't ignore Tom's offer simply because you expected one from Jim.
Even if you don't think you're intuitive, it's possible to improve your business intuition. Give yourself permission to experiment with it. Potentially, your intuition can contribute to your business growth.
It's a mindset shift. Start to pay attention to your fleeting "little thoughts" or new ideas. Check in with how you feel.
You don't need to implement every idea. Instead, start an ideas notebook. Good ideas stick with you beyond the moment. Allow them to incubate. Does it still feel strong after a week or so?
Paying attention to these little mental nudges will improve your business intuition. Once you start your list, notice the random hunches that are out of context.
These "out-of-place" intuitive sparks may be exactly what you need to advance your business.
A recent study on intuition showed that the more you practice the better you become at receiving insightful intuitive thoughts. Furthermore, scientists know where intuition happens in the brain but not how it works.
Intuitive thoughts correlate with your skills. You're more likely to improve your business intuition when you're doing work that is meaningful to you. Experience and knowledge often works hand in hand with gut feelings. That's because your subconscious mind may pick up a clue that your conscious brain has overlooked.
It appears that the site of fast, automatic, unconscious cognitive operations—from where a solution materializes all of a sudden—lies in the basal ganglia, linked to but apart from the cortex. These studies provide a telling hint of what happens when the brain brings the output of unconscious processing into awareness.
So, when that intuitive thought appears, take notice, write it down, and then consider implementing your new idea. Take advantage of your brain's insight. Your subconscious mind is constantly at work.
You and your business will benefit from your intuition. Your business intuition can surface at any moment.
An opportunity you didn't expect. It's like an instant gift from your brain.
Saved from making a costly decision or taking a wrong action just because it didn't feel right.
The unexpected surprise: you get what you were asking for.
Don't ignore those flashes of insight. The more you pay attention, and act, the more benefits you'll bring to your business.
Recognizing and acting on intuition can be tough for entrepreneurs. You are focused on accomplishing tasks, making everything work, connecting with your team and customers, and generally keeping all the balls in the air. You use your analytical side to evaluate, strategize and accomplish goals.
Intuitive sparks can seem counterproductive because they can't be analyzed. With everything on your plate it's easy to dismiss something that doesn't make sense. And when your confidence is low, it's easy to ignore those mental nudges.
The first step to improve your business intuition is by opening your mind to their presence. Start noticing when they happen. Pay attention.
As a therapist turned business coach I know how hard it can be to act on your hunches. If you feel ready to improve your business intuition, then schedule a complimentary Grow Your Ideal Business Consultation, You'll discover the best ways to confidently use intuition to grow your business.

Well here we are in mid-April, Blues fans. We made it. Who would've thought that the Blues would be up 2-1 in a series against the Jets right now three months ago (other than the brain geniuses here at Blues Buzz).
There's not a whole lot to hate through three games. Winning two on the road is massive, and the team looked solid through two. Game three is another story, but I'm going to look at the big picture; I don't want to single out one game (either a good game or a bad game) and instead look at the series as a whole. Besides, the sample size is small enough as it is.
Let's start with Binnington. A goal here or there leaves something to be desired, but, wow he's a stud. His 5v5 numbers don't look *great*, and he's performing below his xSv%, but it's obvious watching the games that he's making big time saves, and, again, the sample size is too small to worry about small discrepancies like that. You really couldn't ask for more from Binnington, except, ya know, a sincere apology for those gross tweets perhaps.
Why is Zach Sanford still in the lineup??
The first point speaks for itself, so I'm not going to elaborate on that very much. They've been good. Moving on.
Schenn-O'Reilly-Tarasenko has not yet produced at 5v5, but they have been good still. Schenn and Vladdy have a narrowly positive Corsi differential, at 50.57%, and O'Reilly's slightly negative differential can be chalked up to an extra defensive shift here or there. So they're still outshooting the Jets—are the shots worth taking though? Survey says: yes! Tarasenko is rocking an xGF% of 54.79, with Schenn coming in just behind at 50.71. These guys are controlling scoring chances, and yet getting outscored by the Jets 1-3 through three games. Both are also rocking sub-90 PDOs, which highlights a low shooting percentage paired with Binnington making a couple slips when the top line is on the ice. All of this goes to say that, sure, the top line hasn't been scoring at 5v5, but they've still been productive play-drivers, and it would be an easy argument to say that despite being outscored they've still outplayed Winnipeg's top unit.
Finally, Sanford. Zach Sanford in the playoffs actually provides an interesting case study in statistical analysis in hockey. With 3 individual Corsi attempts for in 21.42 minutes, he ranks fifth among forwards in iCF/60. Sitting above the likes of David Perron, Oskar Sundqvist, Robert Thomas, and Brayden Schenn. This stat on its own might lead one to believe that Zach Sanford drives play better than many other Blues forwards. When using these kinds of stats though, you have to look at the whole picture, and not just cherry pick stats that help advance whatever narrative you want. Because it's easy to find stats that support what you're saying at any given time; it's less easy to find a full set of stats that support what you're saying. Bringing this tangent back to Sanford, he's last among Blues forwards in Corsi For % at 33.33%. He would also be last among Winnipeg forwards. Despite Sanford himself directing more shots towards the net than other Blues players given his ice time, he's getting outshot 2-1 when he's on the ice. Sanford is the only forward on the team that hasn't been on the ice yet for a Blues goal at 5v5, and even his xGF% is an abysmal 22.46%. The next lowest is Steen with a (still very bad) 39.45%, but how much of Steen's number can be attributed to player almost exclusively with Sanford? Probably a lot.
So, let's get Sanford the heck out of the lineup, folks! Put in Blais, put in MacEachern, put in Fabbri. Send Thorburn very far away from any playing time; transitioning to a skilled fourth line is a major reason that the Blues are where they are today, and going away from that will sink them. But aside from Thorburn, put anyone in.
Finally, let's all relax a bit. Sure, things seem bad after game three, but the Blues are up 2-1 in the series. The top players on the Blues are firing at all cylinders, and the goals will come. Patrik Laine decided to show up, but so has Binnington. Nothing is guaranteed, but the Blues are in as good a position as they're ever going to be to take a stranglehold on the series. Let's ride.
