Mary Ward
Mary Ward(1585 - 1645) was the foundress of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a religious order, which has a worldwide presence engaging mainly in the education of girls. The 'Loreto' nuns belong to the Irish branch of the Institute, there being two other branches - commonly called the 'Roman Branch' and the 'American Branch'. The latter also uses the name Loreto as it was originally founded in Ireland.
Mary Ward lived in England during a time of great persecution and hardship for those who remained true to the Catholic faith. As a young girl Mary wished to devote herself to God as a nun, but all the convents in England had been closed down. Therefore, she sailed to Europe and became a novice in a Poor Clare Convent where her life's work would be to pray on behalf of those in need of God's special blessings. However, in time, God revealed to her that her life was to be spent not just in prayers but in active service as well. Thereupon, she gathered a group of likeminded charitable and spiritual women, wives and mothers, to establish the IBVM.
In 1821, an Irish lady, Mother Teresa Ball established the first House of the Institute in Ireland and called it 'Loreto House'. It was from here in 1841, that a group of nuns led by Mother Delphine Hart brought the Institute to India and founded Loreto House, Kolkata.
Let us, Mary Ward's spiritual children, be inspired by her life and strive for the ideals she placed before us through her deeds and actions. These are the everlasting ideals of goodness, sincerity, courage, joy in service and love for the poor.

OTTAWA -- The federal government has unveiled a series of new measures aimed at further shoring up Canada's electoral system from foreign interference, and enhancing Canada's readiness to defend the democratic process from cyber threats and disinformation.
One key measure is a new plan to inform Canadians about serious meddling attempts during the campaign in an impartial way. The objective is to have a plan to inform people if needed, without being seen to be interfering in the campaign.
This will be done through what's being called a "Critical Election Incident Public Protocol" that will be overseen by five senior level non-political government officials. During campaigns the government runs in a "caretaker mode" where decision making is limited and why this plan is being set in advance.
The members of this new high-level group will be responsible for deciding when, and how they decide to inform Canadians about concerning online behaviour or content that comes to their attention. It is comprised of the Clerk of the Privy Council, Canada's National Security Adviser, and the deputy ministers of the Justice, Public Safety, and Global Affairs departments.
Should an instance of foreign meddling or another interference attempt arise, it will need to meet the threshold of being serious and "disruptive" enough—even if on a micro scale, perhaps in a single riding—to have an impact on Canada's ability to hold a free and fair election before this group takes further steps.
Responding to the announcement, NDP democratic reform critic Nathan Cullen criticized that Elections Canada's Chief Electoral Officer is not a part of this team.
"The one person who is hired by Parliament not by the sitting government, as is the case of everybody else on that protocol committee because there can be no whiff of any hint of partisanship or decision making in the release of such volatile information," Cullen said.
The overall plan is four-pronged, and was announced by Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. The next federal election just nine months away.
A senior official speaking with reporters on background prior to the ministers' announcement said the "sweeping series" of new measures are the result of "unprecedented" collaboration between Canada's national and cyber security bodies, intelligence agencies, and federal departments including Global Affairs Canada.
Citing examples including the Trump election, the disinformation that flooded the Brexit referendum, as well as the Cambridge Analytica Facebook data scandal, both Canadian and international intelligence services have warned that Canada is not immune to some form of cyber interference happening, and that the 2019 federal campaign will be playing out in a new threat environment.
According to Goodale, a fifth of the tweets in the last month of the U.S. election were generated by bots. "This wasn't citizens intensely engaged in the democratic process, instead it was contrived and electronically generated meddling intended to pervert the conversation," he said.
Goodale said that foreign countries working to sculpt public opinion in their domestic interest is not new, and is not wrong, as long as it's done lawfully, openly, and accurately. Though, he says, a "bright red line gets crossed" when that effort to influence is done covertly or with the intention to destabilize or manipulate.
"Increasingly the interference is higher-tech… Social media have been used to falsely slander elected officials, trolls and bots are dispatched to stoke anxiety even hysteria around sensitive issues. Fake news masquerades as legitimate information," Goodale told reporters on Wednesday.
"As we've seen these issues are of deep concern among G7 and Five Eyes partners," he said.
In addition to the public alert protocol, the government announced the creation of a Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force (SITE), to prevent "covert, clandestine, or criminal" attempts to interfere in elections and respond to them.
It is comprised of intelligence officials from CSIS; RCMP; the Communications Security Establishment; and Global Affairs Canada.
These agencies will also be advising political parties about enhancing their security and offering classified threat briefings to senior party leadership to promote strengthened internal behaviour.
"This is not about refereeing the election," said Gould in response to questions about whether these measures will stifle some of the regular, rough and tumble partisan discourse that takes place during a campaign period.
Though, the federal Conservatives were not sold. Democratic reform critic Stephanie Kusie said these measures do not go far enough.
"We did not see a detailed and credible plan, we saw a lot of buzzwords, a lot of platitudes that should leave Canadians concerned in regards to the safeguarding of the electoral process in 2019," she said.
The ministers highlighted that often, foreign interference is well-masked or hard to detect.
In an effort to keep a closer eye on international threats, the government is activating the "rapid response mechanism" at Global Affairs to identify, respond, and share information about threats.
The "rapid response mechanism" was a new initiative that Canada signed on to at the G7 meeting in Charlevoix, Que. It was part of a multi-pronged commitment on defending democracy from foreign threats.
This will include monitoring foreign social media activity to look at trends and identify where Canada might be vulnerable.
The unit overseeing this exists within Global Affairs Canada, and will include producing regular reports on the threat patterns and trends they are observing.
As part of this plan, the governing Liberals are calling on social media platforms to do more. On Wednesday the ministers restated their expectation that social media platforms will crack down on disinformation and enhance their transparency.
Gould is in the process of talking to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter about their role in Canadian elections, and she is asking them to commit to apply specific measures that they have enacted in other countries, such as Twitter's ad transparency centre.
Though, this expectation is not among the newly legislated requirements for these platforms, so it remains unclear how these networks will be compelled to step up should they not be included to do so proactively.
Cullen was critical of there not being further measures to compel social media companies to comply, saying his experience in studying the Cambridge Analytica scandal as part of the House Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee, is that Twitter and Facebook have been hesitant to make changes.
Lastly the government is launching a new campaign for citizen-literacy about misinformation online. This will encourage Canadians to read a diversity of sources, think before they share information online, ask them to think critically about what they see, question if messages are trying to influence them and encourage them to rely on trusted sources for news.
As part of this effort the government is spending $7 million on "digital, news, and civic literacy programming."
"Our democracy is strongest when all our citizens can vote without the threat of interference," said Sajjan.
These measures are in addition to ongoing efforts to secure Canada's electoral system, such as: passing Bill C-76, which imposes new limits and penalties related to spending and foreign participation; working with Elections Canada to prevent voting infrastructure from being hacked; and, collaborating with social media companies on plans to combat fake news and disinformation from interfering with public opinion during the campaign.
Bill C-76 also gave Canada's Elections Commissioner new powers to conduct investigations into election interference, and compels social media platforms to create databases of their advertising during the campaign.
The Communications Security Establishment will also be publishing an update to its report on cyber threats to Canada's democratic process — including threats to political parties, politicians, and media — in the coming months.

Q: How to get index and delete a element from an object in angular 8? I am trying to delete an element from an object but it is not deleting from the object.
My Object is in the following format
{"UNDET":0,"HLDS":8,"NGS":2,"NGRT":1,"TotalCount":13,"NGX":1}
Now, I want to delete the key and value of an element(for ex: "NGRT":1) based on its index or key name,
I have tried splicing elements individually i.e keys and values separately but the problem here is after splicing elements the keys and values are getting misaligned
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

A: If you want to delete a key from an object, then use delete operator:

const obj = {"UNDET":0,"HLDS":8,"NGS":2,"NGRT":1,"TotalCount":13,"NGX":1};

delete obj['NGRT'];

console.log(obj);

As mdn says:

The JavaScript delete operator removes a property from an object; if
  no more references to the same property are held, it is eventually
  released automatically.

Reforms are in the works to make the graduation ceremony smoother and more captivating. President Birx and faculty have been putting ideas together to make this happen.
The date of undergraduate graduation has not changed; the 2018 graduation ceremony will still take place on that Saturday morning. The first difference from last years graduation, is that the graduate graduation will be held two days earlier, on that Thursday evening. "This year we said let's break up the graduations, let the undergraduates have their own graduations, and let the graduates have their own", Dr. Birx said, "That will allow us to allow students to have more invitees than they were able to have before, and the graduates will get to have their own program as well." In this coming year, there will be two separate graduations, and both graduating classes will benefit from it.
The second change is a precautionary step to halt students from consuming alcohol during the ceremony. Things got out of control last graduation, and steps will be taken to avoid that. "We are asking the faculty to sit with their students, rather than all together," Dr. Birx said, "We think the faculty will enjoy it, and hopefully the students will like it too." The goal is that integrating faculty members into the mass of students will help keep everything in line. It also has sentimental value, so that faculty can be with their students, who they have known for years, right before they graduate.
The goal is to make graduation as engaging as possible, and that means having a shorter ceremony. Typically, graduation is about two and a half hours at PSU. Dr. Birx and faculty have some ideas on how to shorten it to two hours or less. This includes having two lines of students on the stage, rather than one. "That gives every student the same amount of time, but it does help us move faster because ones calling out a name, and the other one can be ready to called out next", Dr. Birx said. This will help keep the audience's attention on the people graduating, and since it is new, it will likely interest them.
He thinks that the issue with long ceremonies is that people tend to lose interest. "We want to keep it exciting, and that's also part of the reason", Dr. Birx said, "It's exciting because people get to see two different groups come up, and there's not a lot of waiting time in between." Having two rows at graduation has not been finalized yet, but it may be a third and unique change to commencement.


Locality: United States, Colorado, Alamosa, Alamosa (6 miles northwest).
Occurrence Remarks: Oenothera elata H.B.K. subsp. hirsutissima (A. Gray ex S. Watson) Dietrich, det. by W. Dietrich, 1981. Original ID: Oenothera subulifera Rydb.


Many years ago when I lived in Boston, a vegetarian friend turned me on to the joyful combination of winter squash, pasta, and sage. We went out to an Italian restaurant for a birthday celebration and my friend ordered some mouth-watering butternut squash ravioli with sage-butter sauce. When she generously offered me a bite, I almost sent back my meal and ordered hers instead.
This recipe reminds me of that dish, although I'm guessing this version is much easier to prepare since you use wonton wrappers instead of making your own pasta.
This is one of the recipes I enjoyed from America's Favorite Food: 200 top-rated recipes from the country's best magazines (affiliate link).
The original recipe uses 9 tablespoons of butter and pancetta. I replaced some of the butter with olive oil and used turkey bacon instead of pancetta. I also used part-skim ricotta. Note that the photos don't include the bacon. I, uh, forgot it. Let's just say I wanted to show the vegetarian version and leave it at that.
This butternut squash ravioli makes a great sit-down appetizer or a stunning main course. Any winter squash will work if you prefer not to use butternut.
Make it Vegetarian: Skip the turkey bacon.
Make it Ahead: Cook the squash, make the filling and stuff the ravioli. Place the butternut squash ravioli in a single layer on baking sheets and place in freezer. Once ravioli are frozen, place them in a zipper-top bag and put them back in the freezer. When you're ready to cook the ravioli, drop them into the boiling water still frozen. They will take an extra minute or two to cook through. Make the sauce and put everything together.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of America's Favorite Food: 200 top-rated recipes from the country's best magazines by MyRecipes plus another to give away. All opinions are my own. This post contains at least one affiliate link. Please see my disclosures page for more information.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Halve squash and remove seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season squash with salt and pepper and place on prepared baking sheet, flesh side down. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. When squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh with a spoon and place in food processor or blender. Purée until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet. Add shallots and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add finely chopped sage, squash, ricotta and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook for another minute or so, then remove from heat and cool completely.
Cover stack of wonton wrappers with damp paper towel. Remove 1 wrapper to a cutting board or other work surface. Brush wrapper with water and place about 1 teaspoon of squash mixture in center. Place another wrapper on top and press edges to seal. Get out as many of the air bubbles as you can. Use a 3-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut ravioli into circle, if desired. Remove to a covered plate. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ravioli and stir gently so they don't stick together. Cook for about 4 minutes, then drain carefully.
While the ravioli is cooking, heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and all of the butter in a small skillet over low heat. When butter has melted, add sliced sage leaves. Cook until butter has browned, about 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Place ravioli on a plate and top with browned butter. Garnish with additional Parmigiano-Reggiano, turkey bacon and whole sage leaves. Serve immediately.
Vegetarian option: Leave out the turkey bacon.
I would so love to try this, but I am so lazy! I will bookmark it and hopefully try, thanks it looks amazing.
I want to try this, I've never had anything like it, but it sounds fantastic!
one of my all-time favorite flavor combos. great recipe!


Review: I am woefully late with this review. I finished reading it quite a while ago and am having to write this review from what lingers, more than a month later.
The novel alternates between Jeremy Best, a trusts and estates attorney who writes poetry under a pen name, and Spaulding Simonson, a 19-year old aspiring writer fresh from a stint in a mental hospital, as a friendship develops between them. In the span of about 250 pages, Greenland tackles unlikely love, work versus vocation, poetry, mortality, and the complicated tangle of family in a quirky, bright, and occasionally snarky manner.
Jeremy wants to write but he's also very good at his job. When the pretty and appealingly odd Spaulding -- daughter of his boss -- shows up in his doorway, his natural inclination is to put her off. But Spaulding -- who has been put off by everyone in her life -- is determined to get Jeremy's attention, especially when she discovers he's a well-regarded poet.
I will admit, when it became clear there was to be a romance between our 30-something hero and the 19-year old heroine, I initially couldn't stop a Liz Lemon-esque eye roll and "Oh, brother!". But once I got that out of my system, I found I didn't mind the burgeoning, awkward will-they-won't-they; both Jeremy and Spaulding were flawed creatures and faced intriguing obstacles, both of their own invention and from the people around them.
A fast read, accessible and fun, and perfect for the summer. A little knowing, a little sad, a lovely mix of literary and fluffy. For those new to Europa Editions, this is a great introduction to the kind of sophisticated, compelling stuff they release.
I almost snagged this one when offered to me but declined based on the cover! It just doesn't do it for me.
I know, the cover is super underwhelming. As a rule, I'm not wild about Europa Edition covers, actually.
I know! I hate it when that happens -- I do that too often -- as I said to Ti, this one doesn't do the book justice.

Outcome of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury using the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria*

doi: 10.1097/CCM.0b013e3182281f1b
Clinical Investigations
Objective: Acute kidney injury affects 5% to 7% of all hospitalized patients with a much higher incidence in the critically ill. The Acute Kidney Injury Network proposed a definition in which serum creatinine rises (>0.3 mg/dL) and/or oliguria (<0.5 mL/kg/hr) for a period of 6 hrs are used to detect acute kidney injury. Accurate urine output measurements as well as serum creatinine values from our database were used to detect patients with acute kidney injury and calculate their corresponding mortality risk and length of stay.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Seven intensive care units at a large, academic, tertiary medical center.
Patients: Adult patients without evidence of end-stage renal disease with more than two creatinine measurements and at least a 6-hr urine output recording who were admitted to the intensive care unit between 2001 and 2007.
Interventions: Medical records of all the patients were reviewed. Demographic information, laboratory results, charted data, discharge diagnoses, physiological data, and patient outcomes were extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database using a SQL query.
Measurements and Main Results: From 19,677 adult patient records, 14,524 patients met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-seven percent developed acute kidney injury during their intensive care unit stay. Inhospital mortality rates were: 13.9%, 16.4%, 33.8% for acute kidney injury 1, 2, and 3, respectively, compared with only 6.2% in patients without acute kidney injury (p < .0001). After adjusting for multiple covariates, acute kidney injury was associated with increased hospital mortality (odds ratio 1.4 and 1.3 for acute kidney injury 1 and acute kidney injury 2 and 2.5 for acute kidney injury 3; p < .0001). Using multivariate logistic regression, we found that in patients who developed acute kidney injury, urine output alone was a better mortality predictor than creatinine alone or the combination of both.
Conclusions: More than 50% of our critically ill patients developed some stage of acute kidney injury resulting in a stagewise increased mortality risk. However, the mortality risk associated with acute kidney injury stages 1 and 2 does not differ significantly. In light of these findings, re-evaluation of the Acute Kidney Injury Network staging criteria should be considered.

I know, I know, it's wrong to laugh. But I find it amusing when someone gets some poetic justice. I call it Karmedy.
People at CPAC are smart, know things
Ahahahaha!! Not really.
It's that most wonderful time of the year. Spring is just around the corner, pitchers and catchers have reported, and the circus sideshow-cum-white power rally known as CPAC is here to horrify entertain us all.
Let's take a look at what some of the GOP's shining stars have said so far at this year's "put a tinfoil hat on over your Klan hood" party.
First up: Marco Rubio
Speaking before the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, Rubio told radio and TV host Sean Hannity that "if we wanted to defeat them militarily, we could do it. [Obama] doesn't want to upset Iran."
Right. Obama isn't doing enough "militarily" to defeat ISIS. It's not as if he's dropped a few thousand bombs on them or anything. And obviously, this is because Iran, ruled by Shia clerics, would hust really hate it if this Suni terrorist group were to be defeated! You know, that terrorist group who goes around killing anyone they consider to be infidels like, say, Shiites.
Although, I suppose it's a lot to ask for Rubio to have known that Iran and ISIS were completely opposed. It's not as if a quick Google search for "Iran + ISIS" yields a bunch of headlines like
Iran will do what it takes to fight ISIS - CNN.com
War with Isis: Iran joins 'Great Satan's' fight against militants ...
www.independent.co.uk › ISIS claims responsibility for attack on Iranian ambassador residence
Iran Joins ISIS Fight thediplomat.com/2014/12/iran-joins-isis-fight/
And there's no reason to think he should be some sort of expert on foreign affairs just because he's a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Next up: Reality TV "star," fake swampbilly and actual scumbag Phil Robertson.
"You lose your religion, according to John Adams, and there goes your morality. We're almost there," Robertson said. "I hate to admit I got my facts from the CDC the day before yesterday, 110 million, 110 million Americans now have a sexually transmitted illness."
"There is a penalty to be paid from what the beatniks, and it morphed into the hippies -- you say, what do you call the 110 million with the sexually transmitted illness -- it is the revenge of the hippies! Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll have come back to haunt us in a bad way."
Right, because before the "beatniks" and the hippies, it's not like American GIs were coming home from the war with "the clap."
It's not as if famous men from Christopher Columbus to Napolean Bonaparte died of syphilis. It's not as if the disease known as "smallpox" was given that name to distinguish it from "the great pox," aka syphilis.
Hmm, when exactly did the "beatniks" appear? And the hippies? Because surely, cases must have spiked right around that time, right?
Also, too, funny how you cherry-pick this John Adams quote to represent the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. You could just as easily have used one from Thomas Jefferson, like "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes"
So, what's your solution to this problem of std's? Wait, let me guess. . . increased condom usage? Better sex education?
Haha, of course not. Don't be silly!
"You want a godly, biblical, medically safe option? One man, one woman, married for life," he said.
You're disease free and she's disease free, you marry, you keep your sex right there. You won't get sick from a sexually transmitted disease."
Interesting. I assume that must be how you conducted yourself throughout your life, right?
And here I thought it was a good idea to take advice about sexual morality froma guy who looks like he just raped Ned Beatty!

Q: On the spectral radius $r(ab) $ Let $A$ be a unital complex Banach algebra and $a,b\in A$. Define
$r(a) = \sup_{\lambda \in \sigma(a)} |\lambda|$
where $\sigma(a)$ denotes the spectrum of $a$. Note that $\sigma (ab) \setminus \{0\} = \sigma (ba) \setminus \{0\}$. Hence if both $\sigma (ab)$ and $\sigma (ba)$ contain non-zero elements then $r(ab) = r(ba)$.
Is it possible to find an example of $A$ such that there exist $a,b \in A$ with $\sigma(ab) = \{0\}$ and $\sigma (ba) \neq \{0\}$? That is, $ab - \lambda$ invertible for all $\lambda \neq 0$ but $ba -\lambda$  not invertible for at least one $\lambda \neq 0$?

A: No. If $\sigma(ab)=\{ 0\}$, then $\sigma(ba)\subset\{ 0\}$ since, as you mentioned it, $\sigma(ba)\setminus\{ 0\}=\sigma(ab)\setminus\{0\}=\emptyset$. But $\sigma(ba)$ is nonempty, so you must have $\sigma(ba)=\{ 0\}$.
What is possible is that $\sigma(ab)$ contains $0$ and $\sigma(ba)$ does not. For example, take $A=\mathcal L(\ell^2)$, the algebra of all bounded operators on $\ell^2=\ell^2(\mathbb N)$. Let $S$ be the "forward shift" on $\ell^2$,
$$S(x_1,x_2, x_3,\dots )=(0,x_1,x_2, x_3,\dots )$$
and let $B$ be the "backward shift",
$$B(x_1,x_2,x_3,\dots )=(x_2,x_3,\dots )\, . $$
Then $BS=Id$, so $0\not\in\sigma(BS)$. But
$$SB(x_1,x_2,x_3\dots )=(0,x_2,x_3,\dots )\, ,$$
so $SB$ is not one-to-one (and hence $0\in\sigma(SB)$ since $\ker(SB)$ contains the vector $e_1:=(1,0,0,0,\dots )$.

West Yorkshire, UK-based chemical manufacturer, Airedale Chemical, has invested £500,000 in three new vehicles for its distribution fleet.
The company, which provides all its own transport, has acquired a road train curtain sider to store IBC and packaged chemicals; one rubber-lined barrel tanker designed specifically for distributing hydrochloric acid and ferric-based chemicals, and one Euro Liner which conforms to European specifications for delivering chemicals such as phosphoric acid.
Bolstering Airedale Chemical's position is its investment in vehicles that are designed specifically to provide controlled transport for a range of chemicals. For example, its new rubber-lined tanker was acquired to manoeuver HCL-based chemicals including ferric chloride, ferric sulphate and hydrochloric acid, all of which attack stainless steel surfaces so therefore require non-corrosive storage conditions.

Europe: Ingredients M&A deal activity overview
Oghma Partners' Mark Lynch talks to NutritionInvestor about the European food ingredients market, the growing segments and how changes in consumer behaviour drive M&A activity in the sector
By Murielle Gonzalez
The global food ingredients market has been growing rapidly over the past decade, particularly in developing countries. Estimates for the size of the global food ingredients market vary depending on the definition, but if we consider the broadest range of food ingredients in the market, this sector is worth up to $350 billion, according to corporate finance advisor Oghma Partners.
Based on data compiled by the London-based firm, the market is estimated to grow by 13.8% in volume by 2023. The majority of the volume is made up of low margin commodity products, such as flour and sugar. Rising global incomes result in increased consumption in emerging markets, and Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa are leading growth.
"Ingredients companies have shown more resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic," says Mark Lynch, partner at Oghma. He notes ingredients have continued to trade well despite the decline in foodservice thanks to sales in retail and grocery stores because people cook more at home.
Lynch also notes that ingredients companies are high-value businesses, and as such, they tend to have high margins. "As little as 1% volume growth can drop cash down to the bottom line quite effectively," he says.
Ingredients segments
The ingredients market is structured based on value-added. Raw materials such as cocoa powder, oils and fat sit in the low value-added segment, and the medium value-added ingredients segment comprises colours, flavours and flavour enhancers, minerals, vitamins and derivatives.
There are 13 ingredients in the high value-added segment, including acidulants, botanicals, carotenoids, enzyme stabilisers, and proteins – these are the top five ingredients with the highest growth expected by 2023. The growth of these ingredients reflects the increasing consumer interest in better-for-you food and drink products.

Graphic by Oghma Partners
Lynch notes there's a difference between the valuations of ingredients companies and food processors. For example, enzymes giant Chr. Hansen is trading on 2021 EBITDA of 27.6x whereas food manufacturers such as Nestle, Unilever and Danone trade on 17.8x, 12.7x, and 11.4x EBITDA, respectively.
"Companies in the ingredients sector with high valuations tend to be quite global in scope," says Lynch, noting that current innovation in the market triggers new dynamics, allowing high-value ingredients to escape commoditisation.
The increasing interest in clean label products and the continued growth of plant-based meat and other animal protein substitutes demand constant innovation, which the ingredients companies are helping to drive.
For Lynch, innovation in those markets allows ingredients companies to reset their price points. "There's been quite a lot of corporate M&A activity in the sector, and that consolidation helps drive value as well," he adds.
Consumer considerations
The ingredients market is driven by the demand for tasty and natural products with health benefits. The consumer is focused on value without sacrificing quality, hence long shelf life solutions for processed foods are paramount to reduce waste and cost to the consumer.
Clean label foods are in high demand due to the increasing consumer health awareness. The demand is for foods with reduced fat and cholesterol, high protein content and fibre, and low in sugar.
Lynch notes there's also a drive for better taste, flavour and appearance – and here's where demand for a wide variety of ethnic ingredients begins to pick up. "Local tastes are becoming increasingly important, as well as improved food safety regulatory requirements," says Lynch.
The health awareness of consumers drives changes in marketing. Brands now highlight key ingredients in front-of-pack to capture consumer attention. Lynch notes there are at least 220 EU-authorised health claims from 44,000 submitted applications last year.
Consumers seek tasty, natural products, ideally with health benefits.
Traceability is also a top-of-mind concern for the consumer. For companies, a shorter, more simplified food chain is important to maximise efficiency.
Europe: Ingredients M&A activity
Oghma Partners looked at the deal activity in Europe in the decade to 2020 and estimated the total food ingredients M&A market to be valued at around £49.9 billion – Oghma recorded 331 transactions in this period.
"We looked at a full range of transaction values from upwards of £1 million to £10 billion-plus. The most active years were 2011 and 2017 with 40 and 49 completed transactions, respectively," says Lynch. He notes deal value in this period remained in the range of £1,000 million to £6,000 million, except the £21.8 billion merger between International Flavors & Fragrance (IFF) and Dupont's Nutrition & Biosciences business in 2019.
The additives category registered the most M&A activity in the period, accounting for 13.3% of total deal volume. Still, Lynch notes high deal volume is partially a function of the broad definition of the category.
Additives include any ingredients with functional properties that do not fall under any other more specific categories, such as flavours and fragrance, starch, and yeast. Particularly active product areas in the additives category were botanical extracts, as well as proteins.
Oils and fats are the second most active sector, making up 13% of total deal volume in the observed period. According to Lynch, the high levels of activity can be largely attributed to a select number of highly acquisitive players in the market. "For example, AAK, Bunge, Kernel, Avril SCA and Glencore all made multiple acquisitions over the period accounting for 40% of deal volume in the category," he explains.

Blends was another category that saw high levels of consolidation. Frutarom and Solina made up over 30% of the deals in this category.
Deal activity in the distribution space is characterised by several smaller deals from larger groups who aim to expand their geographical footprint and product offerings.
Lynch says the flavours and fragrance category is highly fragmented. "High deal volume over the period is predominately due to larger corporations acquiring smaller entities in a bid to strengthen their positions and add new capabilities to their portfolios", he explains.
Dutch ingredients giant DSM has been particularly active. In March, the company acquired the flavour and fragrance business of Amyris, and on the back of the acquisition, it announced the launch of Hologram Sciences. The newcomer will create consumer-facing brands to tap into the personalised nutrition and health sectors powered by ingredients innovation.
Buyer focus
The majority of deals in the studied period were led by trade buyers looking at cross-border targets. For Lynch, the high level of cross-border deal activity is unsurprising given the truly global nature of some ingredients players.
For the financial advisor, many companies are highly acquisitive and aggressive in expanding into new geographies. However, in light of the recent Covid-19 outbreak, which has exposed the length and complexity of supply chains in many geographies, we now see companies seeking to shorten and simplify their supply chains, leading to an uptick in deals that are closer to home.
Oghma reported that France, the US, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK are the top five bidders in the ingredients market. On the other hand, the top target markets are the UK, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Germany.
Lynch noted that trade buyers made up 90.9% of total deal volume in the 2010-2020 period, with financial buyers only accounting for 9.1%. However, there are multiple examples of private equity-owned ingredients businesses that are making a sequence of acquisitions.
Swedish private equity company Novax acquired UK clean label ingredients supplier Ulrich & Short in March, and this month, Ambienta brought UK flavour company TasteConnection into its fold. Charterhouse Capital and Ambienta are also private equity investors that have tapped into the ingredients market.
The leading global ingredients players typically have niche focuses. Givaudan is centred on taste and scent, AAK is an oils and fats specialist, and Chr. Hansen focuses on cultures, enzymes and colours. This landscape change following IFF's merger with DuPont's Nutrition & Biosciences business this year and the acquisition of Frutarom in 2018. For Lynch, IFF is moving closer to becoming a truly global one-stop-shop ingredients group in multiple categories.
IFF has made two significant acquisitions in the ingredients market that tell the tale of consolidation in the sector. In February, the company closed its merger with DuPont's Nutrition & Biosciences in a $26.2 billion deal. The move placed IFF in the high-growth segment of prebiotics, enzyme and food safety.
The deal came to fruition almost three years after IFF's acquisition of Frutarom in a $7.1 billion deal, which the company secured in 2018.
"The Frutarom acquisition moved IFF from the fourth to second place in taste and scent, and the DuPont merger will transform the group into the number one and second-biggest player in taste, scent, nutrition, cultures, enzymes, probiotics, and soy proteins categories," says Lynch.
Other key acquisitions by IFF include PowderPure for an undisclosed amount in 2017, flavour house David Michael & Co. in 2016, and Ottens Flavors in 2015.
Mark Lynch, Oghma Partners
Lynch concludes that over the past 10 years, we have witnessed high levels of consolidation in most sectors of the European food ingredients market, but the market remains highly fragmented. "We, therefore, expect consolidation to continue with several key drivers supporting deal volume," he says.
Lynch also expects commodity-focused ingredients players to continue expanding their product offerings into speciality ingredients to increase returns and reduce the impact of commodity price volatility.
Companies are likely to continue geographical expansion in a bid to reach new customers and broaden product portfolios. However, the Covid-19 outbreak has exposed some supply chain vulnerabilities, which therefore may prompt companies into M&A closer to home.
Lynch notes that many innovative, smaller players offer unique product lines and customised formulations. "Their ability to be more nimble and to react to customer needs presents a highly attractive proposition for many of the larger, highly acquisitive, ingredients players," he says.
The financial advisor observes that valuation multiples are likely to remain at pre-Covid-19 levels. Lynch explains that transaction multiples for ingredients companies have increased significantly over the years, largely driven by strategic buyer demand, low interest rates and the availability of private equity capital.
Lynch notes that as the ingredients companies continue to trade on high EV/EBITDA multiples, they can still pay high valuations without diluting their earnings-per-share, allowing them to continue their acquisition paths.

The Duckworth Family Tennis Facility
Individual Match by Match Stats
Live Stats/Video
Tigers Defeat Virginia Tech in ACC Opener
CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson women's tennis team won its Atlantic Coast Conference opener, defeating Virginia Tech by a score of 5-2 in the first outdoor match played at the new Duckworth Family Tennis Facility. With the win, the Tigers improved to 5-4 overall and 1-0 in the ACC, while the Hokies dropped to 1-4 (0-1 ACC).
The Tigers' duo of Marie-Alexandre Leduc and Fernanda Navarro, ranked second in the nation, defeated the Hokies' top team 6-3 at No. 1 to open doubles play. After Virginia Tech won at No. 2, the doubles point came down to Alex Angyalosy and Laura Marti at No. 3. The two Clemson sophomores came up with an important 6-4 victory to clinch the doubles point.
Navarro, who entered the ITA singles rankings at No. 64 earlier this week, kept the momentum going in singles play, winning 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2. The Hokies won on Court 4, before Clemson claimed the next three matches, as Sydney Riley at No. 3, Marti at No. 6 and Angyalosy at No. 5 each picked up straight-set victories. Leduc dropped a close three-setter to 121st-ranked Natalie Novotna at No. 1 singles to provide the final margin.
Photos by Kim Montuoro:
"I was truly excited for our team today, getting their first win at home on the outdoor courts," said Head Coach Nancy Harris. "This marks the opening of a new era for Clemson Tennis in our new Duckworth Family Tennis Facility. The Tigers defeated a fine team in Virginia Tech by playing with focus and determination. The No. 1 and No. 3 doubles clinched the doubles point, but not easily. Following doubles, the team went to work earning four of six singles victories to finish with a win in the first ACC match of the season. I was so proud for each Tiger, as they all played a big part in our win today."
With today's win at No. 1 doubles, Leduc and Navarro improved to 6-1 in dual matches and 18-4 overall in 2018-19.
Navarro improved to 5-1 in dual singles matches with her win at No. 2 singles against the Hokies. All five of her dual singles wins have been in straight sets.
Angyalosy, who is playing her first spring season for the Tigers after transferring from Texas Tech in January of 2018, earned her first career dual singles win at Clemson on Friday with the victory at No. 5 singles.
The Tigers have an eight-day break before their next match, as they return to the court for an ACC road contest at Wake Forest on Sunday, Feb. 17. First serve for the match is set for noon in Winston-Salem, N.C.

European Commission Seeks Public Input on Measures to Remove Barriers Faced by Persons with Disabilities
Last week the European Commission launched a public consultation on its future plans for breaking down barriers to Europeans with disabilities. See the European Commission press release here. The consultation seeks to assist the European Commission to prepare its proposals for a European Accessibility Act, planned for autumn 2012. The Act aims to ensure that persons with disabilities have access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment, to transport and to information and communication services. Better access to the built environment not only benefits persons with disability but everyone. The European Union Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding stated that:
"Making goods and services more accessible is also about creating market opportunities and can be a stimulus for innovation and growth. That is why we are consulting business as well as people with disabilities, older people and the public at large." See here.
The Commission adopted a comprehensive European Disability Strategy in 2010 aimed at the creation of a barrier-free Europe for persons with disabilities by 2020. See here. The European Commissions' European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 proposed to use legislative and other instruments, such as standardisation (including developing specific standards for particular sectors), to augment accessibility for persons with disabilities and the elderly. The Strategy committed to explore the advantages of adopting regulatory measures to ensure accessibility of goods and services, including measures to step up the use of public procurement, through a 'European Accessibility Act'. There is a perception that progress in extending EU anti-discrimination beyond employment into the provision of good and services would have a negative impact on European business as there would be cost implications for reasonably accommodating persons with disabilities. Thus the proposed European accessibility legislation is being hailed as a "business-friendly proposal that will substantially improve the proper functioning of the internal market for accessible goods and services" with a view to quell opposition from the European business lobby. See here.
One of the key actions included was an accessibility initiative. The aim is to use standardisation or public procurement rules to make all goods and services accessible to people with disabilities while fostering a EU market for assistive devices. According to the European Commission the market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. In its press release on the public consultation the European Commission cited a study by the UK's Royal National Institute of the Blind that found that a £35 000 investment by a supermarket chain in making its website accessible resulted in additional revenue of over £13 million a year. The press release also cited a German study that suggested that more accessible facilities would increase travel by persons with disabilities to the tune of between €620 million and €1.9 billion in additional turnover for the German tourism industry.

Europe's Way Out of the Crisis: A Gloomy Celebration of the European Day of People with Disabilities
3 December is the International Day of People with Disabilities. The annual conference organized by the European Commission in cooperation with the European Disability Forum (EDF) is a platform for mutual learning and networking among key actors in the disability policy field. This year's conference was held 1 and 2 December and was focusing on the effects the crisis is having on the lives of people with disabilities bringing together relevant stakeholders, European policy-and decision-makers and some of the major organizations representing people with disabilities.
The crisis hit the 80 million persons with disabilities across the EU the worst with unprecedented austerity measures. According to the European Disability Forum Observatory report people with disabilities are affected, by the austerities in a variety of ways, including significant cuts of allowances, reduction in services and rise of unemployment rates. Yannis Vardakastanis, President of EDF stated in his keynote speech "a clear, strong, and loud message to all governments, to all institutions, to all those who take decisions, that the EU determined to protect the most vulnerable, disabled people from the repercussions of the crisis". The disability movement made a clear statement saying the economic crisis must not have a devastating impact and threaten the lives of people with disabilities by pulling back the overarching results of the last 30 years. John Evans, Board Member of both the European Network on Independent Living and the European Disability Forum said that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities seemed to be a legal instrument to protect and promote Disability Rights. The fact that the European Union has also become State Party of the CRPD showed its commitment to recognize those rights, therefore in these insecure times, there is a need for a strong legal framework in the EU to ensure the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
A parallel session focused on the new regulations of the European Structural Fund. Representative of DG REGIO held a presentation on how the European Commission intends to cover disability under anti-discrimination in the new proposal. Javier Güemes, acting director of EDF expressed his concerns about the new regulations and pointed out the necessary elements to avoid misusage of the EU money by maintaining institutionalized care. He suggested that the only way forward was to improve inclusion in the community life and progress the deinstitutionalization movement.
The second Access City Award ceremony also took place during the conference. The prize was awarded to a city with 50,000 inhabitants or more, which has demonstrably improved accessibility in fundamental aspects of city living. This involves four main areas: built environment and public spaces; information and communication; transport and related infrastructure; and last but not least public facilities and services. Access City is part of the Commission's European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 action to create a barrier-free Europe and provide better access for people with disabilities.
European Commission Vice-President Viviane Reding presents the winner of the Access City Award at the European Day of Persons with Disabilities conference in Brussels, 1-2 December 2011
The jury selected Salzburg (Austria) as the most accessible city in Europe. There were three other European cities in the final: Krakow (Poland), Marburg (Germany) and Santander (Spain). European Commission Vice-President, Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights, and Citizenship Viviane Reding made a political commitment in her speech that the European Accessibility Act will be presented by the European Commission in 2012. Adam Kosa, MEP and Chair of the European Parliament Disability Intergroup urged the Commission in his plenary speech to submit the proposal of the Accessibility Act next year, so the European Parliament can take significant steps to sustain employment rate and social inclusion of ageing population in Europe.

Save Our Soil
Find a Tree
Why Trees
Tree Canopy
Leaflet Newsletter
Urban Forestry Fellowships
Blog Post	By Kristin Taddei, Planning Advocate	 June 4, 2018
St. Paul's Townhomes Development Win
In order to help the District reach its 40 percent tree canopy goal by 2032 – a challenge given the increasing pace of development in the nation's capital – Casey Trees advocates for more sustainable plans that protect existing trees and achieve a net gain in tree canopy.
In early 2016, Casey Trees learned of a new development at 3015 4th Street NE. The development team planned to construct 78 townhouses just west of historic St. Paul's College, where 165 trees stand today.
The largest of these trees comprise a shady tree grove along 4th Street NE. This grove of 73 trees includes 33 mature Special Trees, those protected by D.C.'s Urban Forest Preservation Act of 2002.
Because of their grandeur, these trees serve as a valuable community amenity, adding value and privacy to the homes of nearby residents, and managing pollution, flooding, erosion, and extreme temperatures.
The development team's original plan for this site showed 78 rowhomes. That plan would have meant removing all but 3 of the 73 trees, including 24 Special Trees.
Casey Trees submitted recommendations in December 2016 requesting a reconfiguration of the townhomes to preserve the grove of mature trees along 4th Street NE. The development team was receptive to this feedback and revised their plans significantly. New plans showed an altered site and roadway configuration with 60 rowhomes surrounding the existing grove of trees. Casey Trees' analysis showed that the updated plan would provide a 30% tree canopy and preserve 37 trees, including 18 Special Trees.
The zoning hearing for this development was rescheduled multiple times during 2017, but when it finally took place in April 2018, Casey Trees testified, requesting a detailed tree protection and replacement plan as a condition of support. This required the development team to commit to replacing every tree removed with at least 3 new trees. In addition, Casey Trees requested that the current level of tree diversity be maintained, and that a 30% tree canopy goal be adopted for the entire site.
At a follow-up zoning hearing in May 2018, Boundary Companies provided the requested plan and testified on the record, agreeing to implement these measures.
These commitments will ensure that tree canopy is gained, not lost, with the construction of this development. We look forward to continuing to work with the development team to ensure this new development in our corner of Northeast Washington, D.C. is ultimately a shining example of environmentally conscious design.
As a Planned Unit Development (PUD), this project was required to provide a community benefits package in exchange for greater zoning flexibility. These negotiations take place at zoning hearings. Interested in learning more about how you can influence projects like this one at future zoning hearings? Join us on Saturday, June 23 for our advocacy workshop, Stand Up for Trees. This workshop is the first step towards becoming a Certified Tree Advocate with Casey Trees. Certified Tree Advocates receive training to become successful advocates for trees in Washington, D.C. and gain access to exclusive tools, resources, and events to ensure that D.C. continues to be the City of Trees.

Q: Nexus 10 isn't showing up under Computer -> Devices and Removable Storage - [Solved] new USB to micro USB cable only charges, but no data transfer Recently, my Nexus 10 isn't showing up under Computer -> Devices and Removable Storage when I plug it into my computer with a USB to micro USB cable.

A: I found out that it had it do with changing the USB to micro USB cable.
The cable that came with my Nexus 10 was tearing due to bending.
I found a Logitech USB to micro USB cable lying around, and used that.
I didn't think that there were problems with that cable because it was charging the device fine.
I then found some information from a metafilter post http://ask.metafilter.com/197249/All-micro-usb-cables-are-not-created-equal:

Why does the motorola branded micro usb cable that came with my droid
phone both charge AND transfer data, but generic micro usb cables
will only charge the phone?
Recently got a Motorola Droid phone.
It included a motorola-branded micro usb cable.
I can use it to charge the phone and also transfer data back and forth
between the phone and a computer.
I just bought some cheap, non-branded micro usb cables to sprinkle
around home and work so I'd always be able to charge the phone.
However, I've noticed that the non-branded micro usb cables will NOT
transfer data, only charge.
Both cables appear to have the same number of metal contacts on each
end.
So what gives, why does the motorola cable allow data transfer and the
generics do not?

The connector has the same amount of pins, but the cable itself probably has less wires soldered to those pins.
The Droid's cable apparently has an extra pin connected, presumably
for data transfer.

I have a generic usb cord that has two heads - one for data transfer
and one for charging (common connection to the computer, different
connections to the phone).
I think that yes, sometimes people just want to charge their phones.

I've asked my sister, who is not only a Droid Bionic owner, but also
the supervisor of the mobile phone department at the local branch of a
large American big box electronic retailer.
She is going to see if she can find the answer, and let me know later.
Just heard back from my sister, and she says that some of the cheaper
USB cables they sell are "charge only".
So that may be part of the issue.

The stock Nexus 10 USB to micro USB cable, and a bought Cirago USB to micro USB cable made my Nexus 10 show up, but the Logitech USB to micro USB cable did not.
It seems that USB to micro USB cables can differ, as some cables only charge, but don't transfer data.

Q: How to use variable in Select clause I need way to call variable in select clause.
Eg. Table name "TableList" contains the list of table names.
DECLARE @CounterNumber INT = 1
Declare @name varchar(255)
Set @name = (Select Name from TableList where id = @CounterNumber)
WHILE @CounterNumber <= 3

select top 10 * from @name
set @CounterNumber = @CounterNumber + 1

Error Message -
Must declare the table variable "@name".
I used "quotename()" as well but still getting the same error.

A: You would need to use dynamic SQL:
WHILE @CounterNumber <= 3
BEGIN
    SELECT @name Name
    FROM TableList
    WHERE id = @CounterNumber;

    DECLARE @sql = NVARCHAR(MAX);

    SET @sql = 'select top 10 * from @name';

    SET @sql = REPLACE(@sql, '@name', quotename(@name));

    EXEC sp_executesql @sql;

    SET @CounterNumber = @CounterNumber + 1;
END;


I am so proud of my little girl for choosing to follow Christ and choosing to follow him in baptism.

2 – the medicine cabinet tax: as of 2011, you can no longer use flexible spending accounts for medicines that are over-the-counter, except for insulin.
3 – all Flexible spending accounts (FSA) will be capped at $2500 per year in 2013 (next year) – this means you'll have less pre-tax dollars to spend on medical needs, and the gubment gets more of your $$ and you have less $$ to spend on these needs (copays, prescriptions, therapy, counseling, outpatient surgeries, deductibles, that stuff) .
4 – the medical itemized deduction which is currently 7.5% of adjusted gross income, goes up to 10%.
7 – excise tax on Comp. Heath Insurance Plans (Cadillac Health Insurance) – this puts a 40% excise tax on employer-paid premiums on taxpayers who are covered by them, and this begins in 2018.
also, beginning in 2012, there is a 2.3% excise tax on medical devices retailing for more than $100. Nebulizers (of which we use and have purchased) are now subject to an additional tax.

Hudson Valley Chocolate Maker Opens Confectionery in the East Village
Uncategorized May 4, 2016
https://www.instagram.com/p/BE4RHtPstoU/
If you haven't yet heard of Lagusta's Luscious chocolates, you're forgiven. Unless you travel up to New Paltz regularly or frequent the monthly pop-up markets at Bushwick's Pine Box Rock Shop, they might not have entered your world. But once they do, there's no going back. The shop is centered on organic, fair-trade ethics and uses the Hudson Valley's bounty to create incredibly inventive flavors: a smoky corn on the cob bar, a sea salt shiitake truffle, a thyme caramel.
Their under-the-radar existence may be ending, though: Lagusta's has come south, opening up Confectionery tomorrow, May 5 at 440 East 9th Street in partnership with Sweet Maresa's, maker of gorgeous macarons, cookies and cakes. It'll be a one-minute walk from Superiority Burger, making Avenue A and East 9th the city's new center of vegan gluttony.
It's been a crazy time for the shop's founder, Lagusta Yearwood, who's simultaneously opening a savory café (and 'zine library) in New Paltz called Commissary, but she took the time to tell us how their Manhattan space came to be and how she's growing her business sustainably.
Edible Manhattan: Why is now the right time to open a New York City store?
Lagusta Yearwood: Maresa [Volante] has a baking business, Sweet Maresa's, in the Lagusta's Luscious space, and my partner Jacob and I were talking idly one day about whether or not we'd ever want to open a retail space in New York City. So many of our customers are from the city, and honestly we sort of loved it when customers would come in and say, "This place would do so well in Brooklyn!" and we could tell them how much we love being in New Paltz—we love being upstate, near the farms we buy fruit and herbs from and with foraging opportunities all around us. And we love that while a vegan, organic, fair-trade chocolate and macaron shop might be expected to be in Brooklyn if it's going to be anywhere, we're thriving in a little town in upstate New York.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEwNPB9stuw/
But for the first time in the thirteen-year history of my business, I felt like we had such a great crew and such efficient ways of working that I could see how we could be producing more confections than we were. It's a weird feeling. My business grew so organically and was so defiantly small that it was weird to think about voluntarily expanding—whenever we've expanded in the past it's been because we had to to survive, and I believe so much in resisting the urge to grow just because you can. At the same time, I want to provide good careers for my team, and I came to understand that the best way to do that was to ramp up production a bit, to ensure that during the slow season (the summertime) everyone could still work full-time. Maresa does pop-up markets in the city almost every week, and since so much of her customer base is down here it made sense for her to have a permanent space. I've watched her grow her business for years, and it's time she has a wider audience.
We all agreed if we opened a space in the city it had to be Manhattan. Maresa grew up on Staten Island and Jacob lived in Manhattan (um, in the Chelsea Hotel) as a kid. We've all worked in Manhattan over the years, and I went to culinary school in Chelsea. We also loved the defiant aspect of opening such a seemingly Brooklyny place in Manhattan. Just for fun, we started researching spaces. We all instantly agreed the East Village was where we wanted to be—away from the mallification and in what might be the last "affordable" (I use the term lightly) neighborhood. We kept telling ourselves we were just poking around and comparing prices and looking at spaces for fun, but one day we found a 280 square foot former deli on 9th Street and A that felt good. We realized we were no longer messing around—we really wanted this. So we went for it.
I love our neighborhood. I think even though so much of the gritty Patti Smithesque East Village energy has been lost, it's managed to retain a mix of independent, unique small businesses. It's a livable neighborhood. And even though we don't necessarily play up the vegan aspect of our businesses (it's more fun to cater to a non-vegan crowd and blow their minds), it's been a vegan mecca for years—Jacob and I used to come to the old Kajitsu location once a month, and now there's Superiority Burger a few doors down and Avant Garden around the corner, my friend Scott just helped open 00 + Co, and so many more. We've already become friends with so many of our neighbors, and everyone's been so kind and welcoming.

EM: What have been the biggest challenges to opening this shop alongside the Commissary upstate?
LY: Exactly that! Opening two businesses at once has been ridiculous. No one should attempt it. Luckily Maresa has been shouldering a lot of the work for Confectionery since she's not involved as much with Commissary, so that's been lifesaving. And everyone who works at the chocolate shop has been running it so smoothly that I basically just get there in the morning and do paperwork and make phone calls and yell about how much things cost while they're the ones actually making and shipping chocolates all around me. I'm constantly saying "Confectionery" when I mean "Commissary" and vice versa, so everyone having to listen to my stressed-out brain that can no longer form a lucid sentence has been a challenge, without a doubt. At the same time, it's been amazing—like those last few weeks of finishing your thesis in college, only times ten. Like everyone in the food world, I'm a junky for adrenaline, so when I'm not having a nervous breakdown I'm the happiest I've ever been.
EM: What can customers expect? Will there be anything different or special from the New Paltz shop?
LY: At our upstate shop we only have a small amount of Sweet Maresa's macarons and nothing else of hers on display, but here half the shop is hers, so there will be twenty or more varieties of macarons all the time, plus cookies and special baked goods. Her work is unbelievable—she perfected her macaron recipe for two years straight, and it blows my mind every time. I'm so excited she has a bigger showcase for her stuff.
Chocolate-wise we'll also have everything we have in our New Paltz shop—lots of bonbons by the piece, bars, barks, boxes, with an emphasis on caramels and practically savory chocolates like the smoky corn on the cob bar. We'll have samples every day and special seasonal chocolates rotating all the time. Maresa and I will be in the shop working about every week and Veronica, my very first employee who I hired when she was 17 almost a decade ago, will be working most of the time. Full circle!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEjJpRHstui/
EM: What are you most excited about with this opening?
LY: This is so cheesy, but I grew up in Arizona and even when I worked and went to school in Manhattan Jacob and I lived in Jersey, so I just feel sort of honored to be asked to the party, you know? Or to have sort of elbowed our way in, as one does. I grew up on a diet of Woody Allen movies and JD Salinger books, so I'm still starry-eyed and in love with the city, even though I've been coming here regularly for almost twenty years. We did a winter market in Bryant Park last holiday season, and one day I saw all these skyscrapers reflected in the display case filled with weirdo chocolates I'd dreamed up in New Paltz, and I got this giddy childish thrill. The city! I'm also really excited to have a key to a clean bathroom with nice soap I can use when I come into the city to see shows.
EM: And what are you most nervous about?
LY: I'm nervous about our plate-glass window getting graffitied again and it costing hundreds of dollars to replace it, but other than that I'm not especially nervous, though maybe I should be. My whole life of working for myself I've just put one foot in front of the other and thrown my whole heart into it and hoped that made up for the lack of start up capital or business sense, or lefty politics that might turn people off. Maresa's done the same thing. We're doers. So we're just here, doing our thing, a bit south of where we usually do it.
