A Good Problem to Have
Four years ago, scimitar-horned oryx were reintroduced to Chad. This was 30 years after the elegant two-horned animal was declared extinct in the wild. But

New Service Members Choose Memorial Day For Swearing In Ceremony
By Jeff Todd May 27, 2019 at 9:56 pm
Filed Under:Golden News, Memorial Day
GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) – The beginning of a special Memorial Day ceremony at the U.S. Marine Corp Memorial in Golden began with a swearing in for the next generation. Sixteen men and women gave their oath at the ceremony on Monday in front of a crowd made up of veterans and families.
"Looking at all the people who have given their lives. Being able to swear in on a very special day, surrounded by everyone, is very significant for me," said Katelyn Schmidt, a Poolee who leaves for basic training in August.
The newly sworn-in service members chose this day for the one-of-a kind memorial, the only one like this west of the Mississippi River.
"When the Marines get together, we're a giant family and no matter what we take care of everyone. So seeing the kids here actually makes me really happy because they're surrounded by people who love them no matter what," Schmidt said.
Her two brothers are also Marines, so she's carrying on what's become a family tradition.
"We're honoring all those who have passed and who have served and it's really a special day for us," she said.

All club members are now expected to be registered on their relevant branch database.
The final cut off date for skaters using either rink is Thursday 18 th April, 2019.
After that date you will not be able to attend training or coaching sessions at the rink until your registration is confirmed by your branch. This may also impact on participation for sanctioned skating events hosted in all codes of our sport.
Your fees are paid to your branch direct into their nominated club account. Please check with your branch committee if you do not have this information.
The only exception is for new members joining the club for the first time and not currently skating with any branch. The "attend three times rule" still applies to new members only to encourage new members to give our sport a try before they sign up for the season.
Figures, Roller Derby and Rink Hockey can be found following this link.


I really didn't know what to make of school districts cancelling classes for a parade and celebration for Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. That's probably because I've never been in this situation before.
And it's certainly historic, not just for me but for everyone around here. The Birds have won championships before, but not the Super Bowl, as we've known it for the past 52 years. According to Wikipedia, they won NFL Championships in 1948, 1949 and 1960.
The School District of Philadelphia will be closed. So will all administrative offices.
"In order to permit members of all our school communities to participate in this celebration, Archdiocesan high schools in the suburban counties will also be closed," the Archdiocese continued.
Also to be closed, according to KYW-TV: the Upper Darby School District, the Mantua Township School District, Temple University, the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
So there will be significant travel delays. Look for detours and especially slowdowns everywhere even close to the parade route: Broad Street (no cars in the median!) from the stadiums up to City Hall, and then the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Art Museum (across the street from me) and its Rocky Steps.
But why have class if nobody will be showing up, and any lessons will have to be repeated? Why spend money paying substitutes under those conditions? I'm comparing it to the Jewish holidays.
And since this is so historic as I explained above, shouldn't children be part of it and have something to remember? I didn't get that privilege at least twice, while growing up.
And when my parents and grandparents got to visit one of the most important Jewish/Yiddish writers of the 20th century — Isaac Bashevis Singer — at his condo in Surfside, Fla., between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach, my parents didn't want me to miss a day of 5th grade. Who the heck knows what happened in school that day? I didn't know about the visit under after. Singer — who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978 — died in 1991. The opportunity is gone forever.
Wednesday's sign at the Aldi on 31st and Girard.
There will be other closures, possibly because of the crowds, or employees wanting to be part of history. That's kind of like restaurants without TVs being closed during Sunday's game.
Don't plan on visiting the Whole Foods or Aldi by me. Same story down at Society Hill Synagogue, which is far from the parade route but will be following its established plan.
So I'm hoping everybody has a good, safe time, and behaves themselves. But that may not be easy for some.
I do think it stinks that Bud Light will be offering free beer at two dozen bars along the parade route. Drinkers can thank a promise the beer maker made to Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson before the season.
Also, Yards Brewery is telling Eagles fans to stop by for a free beer.
Police report these eight people have been arrested so far for violence after the Eagles beat the New England Patriots, 41-33, Sunday night, and they expect many more to come.
Of these eight, KYW-TV reports one is charged with flipping a car at Broad and Walnut streets in Center City, another for throwing a bottle at a car, and a third who destroyed property.
Video is everywhere these days, so finding the people who vandalized an A.C. Moore store, looted a gas station, smashed windows at the Old Navy at 17th and Chestnut, and did the same at the Macy's across from City Hall shouldn't be too hard.
The station also reports several poles taken down, and who can forget the Ritz Carlton awning collapsing under the weight of so many people?
As for me, I don't plan to be on the parade route. It's going to be freezing and windy, so it'll feel even colder. But the wind will help get rid of the water, so the dry weather arguably beats Wednesday's snow-turned all-day rain.
So there will be very cold weather and free beer along the route, along with crazy fans. Definitely not a good combination.
That could mean another record.
The city says the celebration will have 14 jumbotrons placed along the route.
The parade will end and the celebration will begin at the Art Museum (my neighborhood, of course!).
Hundreds of crews did weeks, if not months, of work in just days including a wet Wednesday. The Eagles are "foot"ing the bill. The tab has reportedly not been calculated yet.
Once it starts, I'll head out for a few minutes to take in the scenes. Then, I'll go back in, warm up, and watch everything on TV!
And another reason to watch the festivities on TV while warm, indoors: Will there be enough porta potties to accommodate the amount of people who are expected to attend?
Some people are skeptical, with reason, due to drinking and cold weather. You know how that works!
May 6, 2017: Can't figure why but the pink must be for girls and women, with the blue for boys and men!
My friend Hadas talked to a man who said he expects to have to hose down his driveway.


How do you communicate you are busy?
We were just talking about this and thought it might be a good topic for discussion here. At home or at work, how do people know if you can be interrupted or not?
Some examples: In IRC, maybe your change your nick, or set your status in some other messaging client. At home maybe you close the door, or put on headphones. In the street you might put on headphones and keep your eyes down low.
If you have any other suggestions, let us know I think it would make an interesting collection. To be clear, this is just a train of thought and not necessarily something we are specifically trying to address in the SmartHome project.
At work, I tend to put headphones.
At home, it's more along the lines of "I'm busy right now, can we do this later?", once someone attempts to interrupt me. In a SmartHome, the best equivalent I can think of would be to have some voice-recognition catch that very specific sentence and mark me as busy.

The Cinematic Orchestra Announce First Studio Album For 12 Years "To Believe" Out 15 March On Ninja Tune+Tour Dates
The Cinematic Orchestra are back with a definitive new album that explores a timeless question of vital importance in 2019 – what to believe? Founding member Jason Swinscoe and longtime partner Dominic Smith have enlisted album contributions from collaborators old and new: Moses Sumney, Roots Manuva, Heidi Vogel, Grey Reverend (vocalist on Bonobo's 'First Fires'), Dorian Concept and Tawiah (Mark Ronson, Kindness). Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Flying Lotus, Anderson Paak, Thundercat, Hiatus Kaiyote) features on strings and photographer and visual artist Brian "B+" Cross collaborated with Swinscoe and Smith on the album's concept. The record was mixed by multiple Grammy winner Tom Elmhirst (David Bowie, Frank Ocean, Adele) in Jimi Hendrix's legendary Electric Lady studios. The album artwork comes courtesy of The Designers Republic™ (Aphex Twin).
The album announce is marked by the general release of new single 'A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life' featuring Roots Manuva. The track, revealed via an innovative website only accessible on offline devices – a paradox illuminating the album's core question of what to believe, was available initially on 12″ in independent record stores and sold out in a matter of hours. The artists first collaborated in 2002 on fan favourite 'All Things to All Men', 17 years later the partnership has lost none of its urgency and searing insight as Roots Manuva laments how our "situation is strange to us, stranger things are claiming us" over a pounding, hypnotic rhythm section that concedes to the choruses' soaring strings.
The first leg of the "To Believe" tour begins in March and includes a three night residency at London's iconic Roundhouse.
In 2019 it is easy to see the band's influence, jazz is all around us, London and LA have recently produced scenes more prolific than anyone expected; Kamasi Washington has been nominated for both Grammy and Brit Awards, Sons Of Kemet a Mercury Prize, BADBADNOTGOOD provide jazz soundtracks to high fashion shows and Kendrick Lamar has put the jazz palette at the top of the charts. When The Cinematic Orchestra released their critically acclaimed debut album "Motion" it helped pave the way for this moment, incorporating as it did an interpretation that had been lacking in the oeuvre and encouraging a new generation of musicians to break rules. "To Believe" doesn't shy away from this ethos – its articulation of the band's unique sonic language, encompassing not only jazz but the sort of transcendental orchestration combined with the elegant electronics of artists like Ólafur Arnalds and Floating Points, artists they have helped forge a path for, has never been more cohesive and compelling.
Since "Motion", The Cinematic Orchestra have sold hundreds of thousands of albums, generated almost half a billion streams and enjoyed critical support from the likes of Pitchfork (8.6 for second album "Every Day" which featured two collaborations with legendary Art Ensemble of Chicago singer Fontella Bass), The Guardian, New York Times, Le Monde, Resident Advisor, Fader, Mixmag, NME, Crack (whose Simple Things festival the band headlined in 2016), Rolling Stone, Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Jason Bentley, Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Lauren Laverne, KCRW and Mary Anne Hobbs. 'To Build A Home' has been synced to dozens of films and TV shows including the Orange Is The New Black finale and This Is Us, adverts include Burberry, Armani, Nike and Apple. The 'To Build a Home' short film was directed by Andrew Griffin and stars Peter Mullan (Trainspotting, Harry Potter).
To Believe by The Cinematic Orchestra
The band have also been touring, consistently performing to larger and larger audiences and selling out the likes of London's Royal Albert Hall, Philharmonie de Paris, Rome's Auditorium Park Della and the Sydney Opera House. Coachella, Glastonbury, Fuji Rock, Montreux and Sonar have all played host to the band's much loved live performances. Beyond the obvious they have also appeared at the Directors Guild Lifetime Achievement Awards for Stanley Kubrick and New York's Summerstage with the legendary Majavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, they curated a series of events at London's prestigious Barbican Centre featuring commissions from the prodigiously talented Austin Peralta (RIP) and seen the likes of Dorian Concept, Thundercat, Moses Sumney and Gilles Peterson support them on stage over the years. They scored Disney's feature length nature documentary "The Crimson Wing" including the track 'Arrival of the Birds' which featured in the closing scene of the Oscar Winning Stephen Hawking biopic "The Theory of Everything". They also released a Late Night Tales compilation featuring music from Flying Lotus, Burial and Björk.
It's hard to believe it's been 12 years since The Cinematic Orchestra released their last studio album, "Ma Fleur" in 2007. Did you achieve what you hoped to in the time since? 12 years from now will be 2031. What will you do before then? We are powerless to answer of course, mere passengers in our own existence, improvising as events deliver themselves into our lives, struggling with the question – what to believe? Births, deaths, success, failure. Money, drugs, temptation, rejection. Trump, Brexit, fear, hope. Art, relevance, pressure, belief. It's this that accounts for the past 12 years for The Cinematic Orchestra, it's this that characterises the process of recording the new album and it's this that has been distilled into a work that is not only their best and most definitive to date but by asking these questions it's also that which best reflects the great beauty in life.

Four Engineering professors travelled to India with U of T president Meric Gertler earlier this year to discuss Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to build 100 smart cities in his country.
"I think Prime Minister Modi's decision to spearhead the development through the idea of smart cities is breathtaking and it is inspiring," U of T President Meric Gertler said in a recent interview with an Indian news service.
But defining a "smart city" is not always easy, said Fox.
India's proposed smart cities will probably all be "smart" in different ways, said Fox.
Christopoulos, a civil engineering professor, said his Indian counterparts were very interested in his particular area of expertise – the resilience of infrastructure. Structural resilience is important to cities such as Mumbai, which is located in both an earthquake and flood zone, he said.
The smart city wasn't the only agenda item for the trip. At meetings at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences and the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), Indian officials wanted to learn more about a new U of T initiative called the Centre for Social Services Engineering, Fox says. India has more than one million non-governmental organizations and the Tata Trusts and the ORF are concerned that with so many NGOs, social services are being delivered inefficiently with much duplication and missed opportunities, he said.
Both Fox and Christopoulos said U of T researchers and their Indian colleagues are just beginning to explore the potential of collaboration. "There's strong interest from the Indian side in working with U of T in the area of smart cities," Fox said.


Hello gorgeous mothers. Hope you are enjoying your motherhood. Your baby is growing up little by little and you are every bit responsible for their happy and comfortable life right now. The sleepless nights are getting better and the cute cooing is all you wait to hear while your baby naps away to glory. At 5 months there are lots of lovely things to look forward to. Want to know them? Keep reading.
At 5 months, in addition to love and care, your baby will require constant supervision. Why? It is because by this time your baby will try to put everything straight into the mouth. It will coo, cry, drool, and want to put their fingers, toys, pens, keys, vegetables, dirt, and even poop into the mouth. You have to be vigilant about what goes near the mouth to prevent any choking hazard.
Improved sense of taste: By the time your tiny bundle turns 5 months, the nerve endings in the mouth are all fully activated. Interesting thing is that there are more nerve endings inside a human mouth than any other parts of its body. There's little wonder then why your chubby cherub puts everything in its mouth.
Enhanced vision: Your baby can see pretty well by this time. It can focus on smaller objects as well and has a developed sense of moving objects. It is fun to watch babies trying to catch hold of hanging toys with their tiny hands. You will now find your baby attracted to your earring and anything flashy you wear. Buttons are also a hot favorite with 5-month-olds.
A desire to sit: With the muscles gaining more and more strength now, your baby will try to sit up, though more often than not she will topple face down. Prop cushions up to give the little backs the support they need to sit. Hold her arms and try to make her sit if she wants to. This will encourage her to master the art of sitting quicker.
Making funny noises: This is a fun time to watch babies blowing bubbles with their drool. Forcing the air with the tongue out not only makes their face look funny but the noises they make will make you giggle. If your baby enjoys making a squeaking or gurgling sound, she will keep repeating it while you enjoy the show.
The existence of object even when it is out of sight: Your baby is developing a sense of permanence of objects. When you take a bright red ball and throw it up, babies will follow the moving object. If you hide it behind you, they will now try to look for it because they now understand that the object is there even though they cannot see it.
Learning to reciprocate: All this while you were cuddling your little one with love, but now your gestures of affection will be rewarded with a tiny hug. It is probably not a full fledge hug, but you will feel the little pudgy hands of your baby trying to hold you. She will try to open her arms when you want to lift her up.
Stranger anxiety: Some babies grow attached to their caregivers and when someone else tries to hold them, they may break into cries and wails. Babies begin to feel safe in their mother's arms and when they sense that they are being carried away from her, stranger anxiety may set in.
Peek-a-boo: This is a great time to introduce the game of peek-a-boo to your baby. Hide your face behind a blanket and then show your face shouting peek a boo. Your baby will love it!
Swaddle while sleeping: Swaddle your baby in a cozy wrap and slowly swing her when she is sleepy or even otherwise. This will enhance her sense of balance and make her feel stable when she is on the ground.
Toy passing: Want your bonny baby to learn the use of hands? You can help her with the toy passing activity. Place a fluffy toy in one of her hands and then take it and put it in her other hand. Repeat this a few times and soon your munchkin will learn to pass the toy from one hand to another.
By the 5th month, babies become receptive towards your love. Cuddle your baby and give her your warmth. Watch her achieve the little developmental milestones and keep encouraging her to move on. However, always remember not to hurry babies. They will learn to do things at their own pace.


Padma Bhushan Tan Chung - Professor of Chinese, University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, New Delhi.
In this endearing book on China, Tan Chung distills tons of information about China's historical evolution and complex vicissitudes in a freewheeling style describing how the third longest river in the world, Yangtze River, and the fifth longest, Yellow River, carved out the contours of China on the globe millions of years before the arrival of man-apes. From this geographical entity, there emerged a common civilization, political entity, and common entity of destiny within and around the valleys of these two civilization-forming rivers.
The author advocates that China is a "civilization country" that has existed for more than two millennia but the nation-state world interrupted the Chinese odyssey for many centuries. Like the legendary phoenix rising from the ashes, China resumes its odyssey and also joins the comity of globalization leaving behind the "Thucydides Trap".
The book collects the results of Tan Chung's life-long study. Standing at the forefront of academic research, he reviews China's development and predicts the future trend of Chinese civilization with a well-rounded, global perspective. The new opinions and ideas in this book are thought-provoking and greatly inspire me.
In this book, Tan Chung presents the outcome of his long-term studies, illuminating the peaceful nature of Chinese development and highlighting the perils along the way. In general, this is a great story about China and an innovative monograph with both academic value and practical significance.
Reading this book, I feel Tan Chung's romantic spirit about Chinese history. He is an elder scholar who experienced his life in three representative civilized countries: China, India, and the United States. In the book, he discusses the successes and failures in the development of Chinese civilization. Although one may disagree with his arguments, you cannot deny that this book is not only an expedition, but also a long-lost innovation.
Such a bird's eye view of Chinese history is rare and will be of use to millions of general readers as well as all students who study China, the emerging global power, all over the world.

21. Mooers, Robert R. and Mary Helen, House (Roseburg, Oregon)
The Dr. Robert R. and Mary Helen Mooers House, constructed in 1959, is a single-story, side-gabled mid-century modern residence. It was designed by architects Raymond Kermit Thompson and Polly Povey Thompson, combining elements of the popular Ranch Style with design elements associated with the architect-driven Contemporary Style, and demonstrating the influence of the Northwest Regional style. The house is locally significant under Criterion C, in the area of Architecture and its period of significance is 1959, the date of construction of the house. The Mooers House is significant as an outstanding example of the blending of the form and spatial arrangement of the widely popular Ranch Style with several elements of the architect-driven Contemporary style, and incorporating several design elements generally associated with Northwest Regionalism, a design approach developed by prominent architects working in the unique climate and setting of the Pacific Northwest. The house is unique in Roseburg, a city long dominated by extractive industries and other blue collar pursuits. While the Ranch house was the ubiquitous building block that populated most post-war neighborhoods, including several in Roseburg, the Contemporary style and Northwest Regionalist approaches were generally the realm of professional architects, and, due to the challenges associated with funding construction of non-traditional forms through the Federal Housing Administration, generally not suited to construction at the neighborhood scale., This content is included in Building Oregon: Architecture of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, a digital collection which provides documentation about the architectural heritage of the Pacific Northwest., National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2018)

26. Willamette National Cemetery (Portland, Oregon)
The 1950 Willamette National Cemetery is located approximately 10 miles southeast of Portland in Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, Oregon. Situated along Mt. Scott Boulevard, the 307-acre cemetery provides scenic views of four mountains, the City of Portland, and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. The Willamette National Cemetery was the first national cemetery in the northwest United States, followed by the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Honolulu, HI) and Puerto Rico National Cemetery (Bayamon, PR). Though authorized by Congress in 1941, the cemetery's development was delayed by the onset of World War II. After the war, the establishment of new national cemeteries was necessary to accommodate the growing veteran population. With burials beginning in 1951, Willamette National Cemetery contained 151,043 interments as of June 2012. The Willamette National Cemetery utilizes only flat granite markers, rather than upright marble markers. This modern aesthetic, influenced by the lawn and memorial park movements, takes advantage of the site's natural scenic qualities, allowing native trees and uninterrupted views to define the cemetery. The National Park Service has stated that all National Cemeteries are to be considered eligible for listing in the National Register "as a result of their Congressional designation as nationally significant places of burial and commemoration." Willamette National Cemetery is one of two in Oregon. The second cemetery, Eagle Point National Cemetery, is significant in part for its historic association with Camp White, a World War II-era military training center in Jackson County. The Eagle Point National Cemetery was recommended for listing in the National Register by the Oregon State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation in their February 2016 meeting.

Someone's little hands are already trying to take my new toy.
My mom bought it in her hometown in South Carolina. She went to a Best Buy about three hours after it went on sale. I pressed her and pressed her to go earlier but she replied "the people in this podunk town are too poor to buy anything". Guess what? she was right. She walked into the store, back to the iPad section, and was second in line behind a guy who walked in just before her. The clerks told her earlier they had a long line, but she timed it just right to get there when no one was around.
Fast forward a week and a few and it has arrived in Hong Kong. The post office made me go fetch and now I'm back starting the rather time consuming task of moving over all my stuff to the new device.
First quandary was how to set it up–either as a "new iPad" or "restore from the backup of the old one". I wasn't quite sure so I went with the restore option, though in retrospect (i.e. the 20 minutes it took to do the restore) I discovered I could probably do it either way, syncing the apps and whatnot later on.
First impressions is that it's quite a bit thinner than the older one. The 'scuba suit' cover that was on the older version folds back and makes the entire iPad 1 look quite a bit 'fatter' than it really is. I'm still impressed when I see one of the originals without a cover (which is rare) as it looks so much smaller than mine which is wrapped in the Apple black latex.
I got the 'smart' cover (black leather) that I'll be setting up as soon as the sync is done (god it takes awhile). The new screen, sans fingerprint smudges and cracker crumbs and whatever else a year of use has puts on it, looks gorgeous. Of course it is basically the same as the old one, but it's clean.
I'm not going to sell the old one. While that's normally my standard procedure as I've sold every iPhone I've ever owned right after buying a new one, this iPad had the secondary market take a hit with Apple's price reduction, and we actually have a need for it in the house. The wife can't use my computer usually as this room is too tiny, but she needs access to her email and celebrity gossip sites so iPad 1 becomes "hers" along with one of the boys, and iPad 2 is mine with the other kid.
and a bunch of other stuff for about an hour and a half now….
Do a backup of your existing iPad before you start this process.
Consider doing your first sync overnight when you don't have to sit and watch the slow process.
Ok, now to play with it. The magnetic screen cover works as advertised. Open it and it comes on, close it and close it and it shuts down. I've already noticed that I'm still hitting the power button to turn things off rather than just close the screen. Old habits will take a bit to slow down.
The home screen now has two new icons. One is Photobooth, which you can use if you are feeling like self portraits with the rather grainy camera. The other is Facetime, which I've yet to check out.
I showed the wife and let her hold both of them. "The new one is heavier" she wrongly observed (iPad 2 is .2lbs lighter). It definitely is thinner. You can feel that holding it. It also feels 'faster'. Some apps like Flipboard were really loading quite quickly, and I look forward to playing Infinity Blade later today.
But now for the most important test: how much gloating can I do with this? I'll be heading over to a few of my haunts today to be "that guy" who has the newest toy. Feel free to call me a jerk later if you see me.
For those who missed the launch here is a nice collection of iPad videos from neonpunch.com's coverage of the Hong Kong iPad's release.
Strange things were afoot at the Starbucks.
Two men next to us were sitting at a Starbucks table in Times Square, not a cup of coffee or even a bagel in sight. They were surrounded by stacks of paper, boxes, and empty shopping bags piled high. Next to them were several carry-on suitcases stuffed to the breaking point. And there in front of the one man was an iPhone 4.
Now if this was an airport or a train station or any other place on any other day, you'd probably think nothing of their setup. But today was iPad day in Hong Kong, and we were just about 100 feet and 1 floor up from one of the largest resellers of iPads (with the longest lines) in the entire city. Something just didn't seem right.
One of the men looked up quickly when a gaggle of teenage girls cautiously turned the corner. They gave a quick nod over toward him and he jumped up immediately. He walked over and they handed over plastic shopping bags with large Apple logos on the side–two bags per girl, along with the receipts. In exchange each girl got $100HK (about $12 US) per bag. The girls promptly blended into the crowd of other shoppers and the man was busy stuffing boxes into his luggage. He then rolled his suitcase back to the Starbucks where it was stacked with other luggage, looking quite like a traveller ready to go on a journey.
We had seen the mules in the line. Folks wearing masks, sunglasses and hats who were very shy when it came time for photos. People kept turning around, hiding under newspapers, even opening umbrellas to shield us from our cameras. The Bloomberg reporter told me "those kids are Triad members (Chinese mafia) who will be selling their iPads later today in Mongkok". With that bit of warning we were both a bit hesitant to talk to the guys in the Starbucks, fearing they may be the ringleaders of some violent Ax Gang from a hard life council flat in rundown Kowloon.
"I wonder if they could get me an iPhone 4" I thought to myself.
The man came back from the girls with eight bags filled with iPads. His partner pulled out a legal tablet and made some check marks. The page was filled with dozens of check marks. 16gb, check, 32 gb, check, 32gb 3G, check, check.
Of course, looking over to our table was probably just as confusing for the two smugglers. We were frantically busy uploading video of the iPad launch to Youtube and had two Mac laptops, a mifi, an iPhone 3G, a Sony HD Camcorder, a Canon Digital SLR and a dried out danish. They noticed us noticing them or we noticed them noticing us (I can't remember which came first) and finally I just had to break the ice.
"Do you like the iPhone 4" I said with a smile, sliding over to get a better look.
"Yeah, it's great" he said with barely a hint of an accent. "The screen is great".
So we started chatting about the phone and the screen and whatnot. He got it in China he said, but it was originally from the UK. I finally got around to the meat of the matter and said "pretty crazy day" pointing over to the reseller nearby.
Just then a runner came down, a skinny kid in a crooked oversized baseball hat, and reported to the other man some news. After he left I returned to our conversation.
"Was that the 'top hat'?" I asked.
"Ha," he said. "The top hat is VERY big and watching the kids closely." Each kid was holding essentially $10,000 HK in cash ($1,200 USA) so the top hat was to make sure the kids didn't get any funny ideas.
"How are you going to get these into China?" where the tax rate is about 20% on imported items like this.
"That store opens the box before they sell it to you, ripping the plastic and making the iPad less valuable on the resale market".
His phone rang and he hurried to answer it. After a few words in Chinese he hung up and turned back to us.
"The order has changed. Originally it was the 16gb wifi–the cheapest one that we were supposed to focus on, but now the boss says get whatever we can. I guess it's selling out pretty well all over Hong Kong." He then turned to his friend who had to communicate the order back to the gang leaders and their underlings still in the line.
We got up and said our goodbyes. It was a pretty fascinating look at the process of smuggling, from the outsourcing of the lower end jobs (line sitters) to the handoff of the significant risk (the cross-border entry). With a markup of about 100% for the street price in China, this guy was going to bring in about $200,000 US in profits for just a couple days work sitting in a Starbucks.
Maybe we'll see him again on Friday when the iPhone 4 goes on sale.
Here is the video Neonpunch.com shot showing many of the mules who were waiting in line.
USB drives to me are kind of silly. I have been living in the cloud when it comes to data for a number of years now and regard USB keys as sort of a throwback to the era of 'physical media' when you had to burn something to a disk to transfer it from one party to another. However, due to some business demands, I've recently had to go USB drive shopping to pass along about 10 gb of data (that could and should be done server-to-server but that's another story).
So I went down to Wanchai today to look at drives. I managed to find this little 16gb TDK drive buried in the depths of the computer center. I originally wanted a 32gb drive but then priced out two of these 16gb drives at less than the cost of one 32gb drive. The guys I bought from, who have cut me 10-15% discounts on other items before were able to offer me a wopping $3HK discount per each drive (which is about $0.36 US). Oh well.
Anyway, take a look at this next to some random items on my desk. The drive is currently being loaded with a number of database files and other documents for a pending transfer in the next 48 hours (provided my contact meets up on time). Too bad it's not shaped like a button or a cufflink–that would give the whole transfer a modicum of coolness a la James Bond.
Not sold in the US just yet but available throughout Hong Kong and Japan.
You would think that a place like Hong Kong, which is only miles from the gadget factories in Shenzhen and benefiting greatly from a massive demand for consumer appliances and essentially no customs duties on imports, would have the latest and greatest devices from around the world easily available at the various Computer (grey) markets around town. But yesterday I plodded through one of them with stares of disbelief and wonder, and not just because I was speaking English and showing them pictures on my iPad.
The Chumby and the Sony Dash (which has the guts of a Chumby inside) are two Internet appliances that I couldn't find in Hong Kong. Both are in heavy use in the US, with the Chumby being out for several YEARS now. Chumby is now expanding into multiple devices. But try as I might, I couldn't find one in Hong Kong.
Part of the reason might be usage–most people in Hong Kong are on mobile devices and the thought of a stand alone, sit at home (in your small house) Internet appliance isn't that appealing. I'll confess that after having my iPhone next to my bed for a few weeks, I rarely used my Chumby for anything besides an alarm clock.
But now that I'm stuck with no iPhone pending the release of the iPhone 4 and no FM radio since we left all of those back in the States, I'm in the market for another Internet device to help soothe my younger son to sleep every night with classical music from Venice, Italy (a station we use because they have no annoying commercials). Unfortunately, these were two gadgets I just couldn't find anywhere despite looking pretty hard.

Told me I was intolerant to wheat which I cut out, and I no longer get rashes. Recommended.
Just wanted to say thanks to the customer service team, I couldn't find my results but I spoke to them on their chat site and got them immediately. Thanks.
I was bought my test by a friend and I was a bit worried about what the results would test for, but their customer service sent me a full list and I saw it included gluten and dairy… spoiler, I'm intolerant to both. It's helped me live a healthier life.
I honestly feel so much better after taking this test and following the diet. I was a little worried that my hair wouldn't show anything, but it was great.
Get this test to help you feel better, it's simple.
This service was incredibly beneficial. I knew there was something in my diet which was bothering me and this test really helped.
Thanks to Bex from Customer service who spoke to me about my test as I was a little confused. Really pleased I did this test.
I wanted a test for 5 people so I could get all my family tested at once, but they only sell tests for four people so I spoke to them on live chat and they discounted the additional test straight away. Great service.
I used the LiveChat service to speak to their team and they were very helpful. Great service.
I was a little sceptical about the test following the reviews, but I had no issues. It came through by email and had step by step instructions on what to do. Highly recommended.
I bought a test for my whole family and we all had issues which we've changed and now we feel much better. Very easy service and I'm surprised at how cheap it was!
Great test, very accurate, very quick.
Great service, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't understand the results, but the guide is very helpful and it's split into easy to understand areas to help me understand my body better.

I've recommended all my friends to use this test. It gives great, helpful results and their customer service team was very helpful.

2: Eulalie. OK she's a character from our books (Elektra's wildly extravagant French step-grandmother) but we'd have to invite her because nobody parties or hands out gifts or mixes martinis better than Eulalie.
3: The ghost not of Christmas past but of dogs past. We miss our dog, Scraps, very much especially at Christmas, so if we could be allowed him back for even one day that would be the best (we'd promise not to torture him with wind up stocking toys, he was terrified of them, canine wimp).
4: And now we've broken the only-the-living rule, we'd like Jane Austen too. We'd do our best to persuade her to write another novel and then we could 'discover' it and bring joy to the world (& Honor could try and persuade her to change the ending of Mansfield Park).
5: Father Christmas because he deserves to sit and chill and have someone cook his lunch and tell him he's done an amazing job working out just what everyone wanted and, seriously, how does he just know?
3: New books by all our friends early (author perks). The newest offering from the Corr sisters and just looking at the funny teen genre - Katy Birchall's new series, anything by Beth Garrod or Chloe Seager or Simon Green or Tom Easton or Jenny McLachlan, we could go on and on.
p.s. Because books under the Christmas tree are so lovely we're giving away a wrapped and signed copy of Waiting for Callback, see below for details!
1: Mean Girls has to count because of the Jingle Bell Rock scene (tough look to pull off).
2: Elf (not even going to try and justify that one).
OK, this was tricky because it had to be one we could both agree on. Let's not unpick the lyrics but… Santa Baby!

CNN's list of confirmed school shootings for 2018 now stands at 22.
A reading of CNN's madcap definition of a school shooting informs us that a car backfiring in the parking lot of a Burger King across the street from an abandoned community college only just barely manages to be excluded.
The list goes on and on like that, like a ghoulish Saturday Night Live skit (a BB gun!) mocking the awfulness of actual school shootings, where an armed monster enters a school determined to kill as many innocent people as possible.
Even the left-wing PolitiFact has said that describing suicides, accidental discharges, robbery shootings, after-hours shootings between grown men in a parking lot, and the like as school shootings is a lie.
You would think a cable news outlet that is seeing its ratings plummet by -30 percent and more would focus a little more on accuracy and integrity, but this is the same CNN that measures special counsel Robert Mueller's evidence in "bytes" and employs staffers who put crosshairs over President Trump … and that was just this week.

Arafat Employs Convicted Terrorists in Security Apparatus Letting His People Go
Khaled Abu Toameh
Yasser Arafat doesn't merely set free some Palestinians suspected of violent attacks on Israelis. He often give them jobs in his security apparatus.
In early February, Gen. Tawfik Tirawi, the head of the muhabarat, the Palestinian secret police, arranged for the head of the CIA station in Tel Aviv to accompany him to the Jericho jail, where Youssef and Shaher Ra'i are confined.
The Ra'i cousins, from Qalqilyah, serving seven-year sentences, have been linked to the killings of Ohad Bachrach and Uri Shahor — Israeli hikers stabbed to death in Wadi Qelt, between Jerusalem and Jericho, in 1995. Bachrach's and Shahor's relatives, who accompanied Benjamin Netanyahu on his January visit to Washington, had claimed that the Ra'is were free to wander at will in the Jericho area — a claim endorsed by Netanyahu aides; Gen. Tirawi proclaimed that the Jericho jail visit showed up "the lie of Netanyahu."
The CIA visitor was shown a four-man cell, with Shaher Ra'i sitting in it. He had a TV, a radio and a refrigerator; on the walls were photographs of his two daughters and of his heroes — Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto (Che) Guevara, and master Hamas bombmaker Yihya Ayyash, "the Engineer," who was killed by Israel in 1996. Jericho jail commander Walid Jabali insisted the Ra'is had not left the jail since September 1995, when they were arrested and jailed — in a 10-minute trial — for damaging Palestinian national interests, rather than as accomplices to murder.
But, the Report has learned, the visit was an elaborate ruse to placate the Americans. The Ra'is are prisoners only in name; until recently the two activists of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine had been leading normal lives outside the prison walls, albeit inside Jericho city limits. Eye witnesses have seen them at coffeeshops and markets in the town, in the company of family members and friends.
The Ra'is, on a list of 36 alleged terrorists whose extradition is demanded by Israel, represent the rule, not the exception. A few of those on the Israeli list are indeed in prison, but others have long since been freed — and many more have never been arrested. Israel often complains about what it calls the PA's "revolving-door policy" of quickly freeing those involved in terrorism. Ironically, having kicked up an international furor over the Ra'is, Israeli government sources now privately admit that they are no longer absolutely certain the cousins were actually involved in the Wadi Qelt murders at all. On the basis of The Report's investigation, however, many other of the Israeli complaints are well founded.
On the orders of Yasser Arafat, Palestinians arrested for attacking Israelis are tried almost instantly by special State Security Courts, and convicted and sentenced before Israel can begin extradition proceedings. The courts often mete out sentences that seem severe — but defendants rarely serve more than a few months behind bars before they are reunited with their families, and allowed to move freely in PA-controlled territory. If they renounce membership in Hamas or one of the other radical organizations, and pledge their allegiance to Arafat's mainstream Fatah organization, they often find employment with one of the 10 official PA security agencies operating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Authority refuses to provide statistics on terror-linked convicts released before the end of their terms. But Palestinian sources say that between their foundation in April 1995 and the end of 1997, the courts tried and sentenced 46 Palestinians for direct and indirect involve ment in anti-Israel terror. Sentences ranged from six months in jail to life; many of those jailed, particularly those sentenced to two years or less, were freed in months.
They are the beneficiaries of a Palestinian strategy — repeatedly underlined by officials — that no Palestinian will ever extradite his brother, under any circumstances, to the Israeli enemy. "If some day Jewish terrorists responsible for killing Arabs are handed over to us, we might consider making a reciprocal gesture," says Sufyan Abu Zaideh, the head of the Palestinian Authority's "Israeli Desk." "In the meantime, Israel has no right to ask for the extradition of Palestinians who have already been sentenced by our courts."
The Israeli extradition list includes at least 10 people who are now members of the various Palestinian security forces — and is topped by Ghazi Jabali, the Palestinian police commissioner for Gaza and the West Bank, who heads the 12,000-strong, blue-uniformed police force. Israel suspects that Jabali has organized terror cells inside the force itself, and instructed individual policemen to carry out attacks against Israelis. Jabali calls the charges "ridiculous," and warns that any attempt to arrest him will lead to armed confrontation.
Others on the Israeli list, now serving in Palestinian law enforcement, include:
Iyad Abu-Shakafa, a Fatah activist accused of the attempted murder of Shaul David in Ramlah, in 1994, who is now a captain in Jabali's police force in Gaza
Iyad Basheeti, a former Hamas activist from Rafah in the Gaza Strip, who is suspected of involvement in two murders in Ramlah in 1994. Basheeti's relatives have told The Report he works as an interrogator for Palestinian military intelligence.
Atef Hamdan, today employed by Palestinian Preventive Security, who was arrested in 1996 amid allegations of his involvement in a 1992 attempt to murder a soldier, but was freed almost immediately.
Ibrahim Shadeed, now a policeman in Tul Karm, who allegedly took part in the October 1994 killing of a collaborator.
Bassam Aram and Yasser Aram, accused of the December 1993 attempted murder of Zvi Fixler, at Moshav Gan Or in the southern Gaza Strip, who are reportedly on the Palestinian security forces payroll.
Bassam Issa, a former Hamas activist, who is suspected of involvement in the murder of three Israeli soldiers in April 1993, and in the attack with assault rifles and grenades on Yoel Salomon Street in Jerusalem in October 1994 (in which two Israelis died), and who is now an officer in the Palestinian Preventive Security police.
The ranks of the various Palestinian security forces also include a large number of Palestinians guilty of crimes against other Palestinians, particularly those who collaborated with Israel during the Intifada. Israel released them as part of the 1993 Oslo Accords — on condition they be confined to Jericho. But many of them have been given weapons, military or police ranks, and security posts in the West Bank and Gaza.
Take the case of Nasser Abu Hmeid, of the Al-Amari refugee camp near Ramallah, sentenced by Israel in 1993 to nine life terms for his role in the decapitation killings of collaborators. Shortly after his post-Oslo transfer to Jericho, Abu Hmeid — who headed a group called the Masked Lion — joined the Palestinian Preventive Security apparatus as an interrogator. In 1994, a few weeks before control of West Bank cities was handed over to the PA, Abu Hmeid was caught by an undercover Israeli patrol in Ramallah. He is now back in an Israeli prison — because he violated the terms of his release by leaving Jericho.
Not all freed prisoners join the ranks of the Palestinian police. Some have gone on to carry out other terror acts. The best-known case is that of Moawiya Jarara, Bashar Salawah and Tawfiq Yassin, who blew themselves up in the September 1997 Ben-Yehudah mall attack. All three had been detained by Arafat's police in Nablus in March 1996, but unexplainably strolled free six months later.
Palestinian officials admit that some of those accused of security offenses have been freed, but say they don't understand why Israel is so agitated. "So what if Israel says these people are involved in attacks," says a Palestinian general based in Ramallah. "That doesn't automatically make it true. Besides, some of the accusations go back to before the Oslo Accords. If we punish everyone guilty of acts of violence between 1967 and Oslo, in 1993, we will have to arrest tens of thousands of Palestinians.
"The next thing the Netanyahu government will do," he continues, "is ask for the extradition of Abu Amar, Yasser Arafat. If that happens, we'll have the right to ask for the extradition of Yitzhak Shamir and other Israeli leaders who are responsible for atrocities against our people."

The Last Witch Hunter Trailer: Vin Diesel Fights A Gory, Gothic War
By Sean O'Connell published 6 August 15
"Do you know what it's like to live forever?" With that tantalizing inquiry, Vin Diesel introduces us to his latest character, the immortal Kaulder. Though audiences later this year will get to know him as The Last Witch Hunter.
This is the first official trailer for Breck Eisner's The Last Witch Hunter, which Lionsgate dropped on its YouTube page. It features a bit of exposition by the iconic Michael Caine, which means Michael Caine is in a Vin Diesel movie. What, you need MORE reasons than that to go see this? For shame.
OK, here's what else we know. Kaulder's immortality has made him the greatest soldier in a centuries-spanning war between humanity and the underworld. The Witch Hunter is ready to embark on a new journey, and he's bringing a new trainer along for the ride, this one played by Elijah Wood. The quick snippet included in this first trailer suggests that the two could have great comedic chemistry in the face of some bizarre, dangerous supernatural aspects, and I'm really hoping that we get to see more of that dup in the final Witch Hunter film.
That being said, the second half of the trailer really does pick up speed and get interesting when Diesel enters a dream-driven landscape. If he dies in there, we are told, he will die in "real" life. (So much for that immortality, Vin.) And it's in that phase where the emotional core of the movie – Kaulder's relationship with his late wife and child – threaten to prevent the Last Witch Hunter from completing his mission. And that would be very bad for planet Earth.
Vin Diesel hasn't had as much luck outside of the Fast & Furious franchise in developing new characters. While he was able to make two additional Riddick movies after Pitch Black, the movies haven't exactly been massive hits. The Last Witch Hunter suggests that Diesel might have life outside of the muscles cars of the Fast world. Heck, he's already talking up a planned sequel to this film!
But first, The Last Witch Hunter has to find an audience. The movie co-stars Wood, Caine, Rosie Leslie and Rena Owen, and is directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara, The Crazies). It will open in theaters on October 23. Do you think you will check it out?

Diversity and Inclusion is standard Training. Why is this? Because management's actions and communications are more readily imputed to the company and because one improper act or communication can be enough to expose the company to liability, it is recommended that all key executives, managers and supervisors attend our standard 4-hour course. Our standard course is a comprehensive version of the two-hour course, and provides participants with the opportunity to practice what they learn, assuring that they grasp and retain the essential information and are capable of incorporating it as part of their routine behavior.
Overview of the Legal Process – Participants learn how an allegation turns into a claim and/or lawsuit. They also learn how evidence is gathered from their personal and company files and used against them and the company in a harassment investigation or legal proceeding.
Overview of Harassment and EEO laws – Participants are given an overview of EEO laws and specific entity policies regarding forms of discrimination and harassment, sexual and non-sexual.
What is Harassment/Discrimination? – Participants learn about the different forms and types of conduct that constitute harassment and/or discrimination. Participants also learn to deal with situations such as welcomed behavior, consensual dating in the workplace, after-hours actions and communications, confidentiality requests, racial, religious or sexual epithets and manager/subordinate relationships.
How to handle information confidentially – Participants are sensitized to the importance of maintaining confidentiality in investigation and the impact the lack of confidentiality can have in a legal dispute.
Documenting allegations – Participants learn practices to document allegations in a factual, objective and legally sensitive manner.
Preventing harassment – Participants learn proactive measures to reduce and even prevent allegations and claims. We also discuss retaliation claims and lawsuits.

I grew up with a mom who could have easily been the next Martha Stewart, as she put a lot of thought and creativity into entertaining – my birthday parties were always amazing without being extravagant. Now as an adult, I love hosting friends myself. Lately I've been eagerly anticipating picnic weather, and collecting tons of inspiration for themes. This season's gingham trend in fashion is a particular favorite, and a natural match for a picnic. Looking at supplies in traditional stores became cost prohibitive almost immediately as things started to add up though – and I've been trying to build my savings and be a bit more frugal. Fortunately, I live by a Dollar Tree, and full gingham inspiration struck one day when I was browsing their new seasonal goods.
Just a portion of my haul!
With everything priced at just one dollar, I could get creative while staying on budget. Once I saw the red and blue gingham picnic tablecloths, I knew my my color palette. After that, it was just a matter of browsing the aisles for supplies that matched, both disposable and reusable. The mason jars were a particularly great find, as we brought them home after the picnic and are now using them for summer glasses. These blue bowls have likewise found a new purpose for soups and cereals, but were perfect for serving at the picnic.
While shopping, I saw snacks that would be perfect for a picnic as well, and I decided to give myself a little challenge to see if I could get all my food and drinks (except adult beverages, of course!) from my Dollar Tree. Turns out, it wasn't too hard of a challenge at all. The prepackaged snacks, like PopCorners kettle corn chips and honey mustard pretzel twists, were a snap. I wanted to cook up a few things too, and let myself be inspired by the in-store selection. With just a little creativity, I came up with three delicious homemade bites, with all ingredients purchased at Dollar Tree!
In the freezer section, I saw a variety of frozen fruit, and ended up going for the one that matched my red and blue theme the best: Blueberries 🙂 With just two ingredients (for $2), I was able to make a delicious homemade blueberry sauce to serve with vanilla ice cream.
These cute little red ramekins are 3 for a dollar!
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan, and bring to a rolling boil. Let boil for one minute, stirring occasionally. Then reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Sauce should be slightly thickened at the end. Let cool in pan, then refrigerate until time to serve.
Next up was the quintessential picnic classic: Deviled Eggs. I've always enjoyed this retro staple, but never tried making them myself. I figured hosting my first picnic was the perfect time to take the plunge, and all the ingredients were readily available at my Dollar Tree, including 18 brown eggs for $1 (!!!). Not content to make the basic mustard filling, I decided to give the eggs my own spicy twist: Sriracha!
Use the cooking instructions from Mary Nolan's classic recipe here, subbing in the ingredients and amounts above!
This dish is delicious and super affordable (its likely you'll already have some pantry basics like vinegar and pepper, and even if you don't, the most it will cost at Dollar Tree is $6 for 8 servings). It does take some time and effort, however! As I jokingly grumbled on my Instagram Stories while in the midst of my first batch of eggs: It is 2017, how do we still not have better technology for peeling an egg?! And next time I make these, I'm going to use a piping bag for the filling to give it a pretty swirl – these didn't have that signature shape. The work I put into these little devils came through in the end though, and I had to stop my first arriving guests from devouring them all before anyone else got there!
My favorite dish was a creation all my own: Garlic Feta Toasts (right). All of my friends were in disbelief that this (and all of the homemade snacks) were made from Dollar Tree ingredients, but they were. The only addition was an extra clove of garlic I had in my refrigerator, but this could even more easily be made with jarred minced garlic (no knifes required!).
Mince the clove of garlic. In a small sauce pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil on high until hot. Once hot, add the minced garlic, stirring frequently until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat, and scoop all garlic into a small container with an airtight lid. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, seal, and leave at room temperature for at least one hour, avoiding direct sunlight. After letting the garlic infuse the olive oil, add the crumbled feta cheese to the container, stirring to coat with the garlic oil. Refrigerate and leave over night. If dry when time to serve, add drizzles of oil and stir to coat until desired consistency. Toast slices of bread, and cut each slice into 4 triangles using kitchen shears. (For easier serving, substitute crackers for toast points – my friends loved eating the leftover garlic feta with thin wheats).
My guests happily nommed on all the snacks, including the adorably on-theme Haribo cherries, which Liz of P.S. It's Fashion immediately suggested would make a great garnish for the mason jar drinks.
The fun paisley scarfs I picked up at Dollar Tree were not gingham, but you know how much I love print mixing! They also added a little flair (and camouflage) to our bottles of wine and champagne. Cheers to style and substance!
Sheep Meadow in Central Park was unsurprisingly crowded on the first perfect picnic day of the season, but my friends found our gingham oasis amongst the throngs.
We also made some new friends, like this incredibly fluffy Australian Shepherd puppy, who we all happily fawned over. Unsurprisingly, this cutie has his own Instagram: @saintaussie.
As the sun started dipping lower in the sky, the crowds got a little less intense, but our Gingham Picnic roared on.
We may or may not have played a few rounds of Categories as a drinking game, which inspired a lot of spirited (and tipsy) debate.
And lots of laughter, too.
It was an excellent afternoon (and evening) with a bunch of my favorite people, and all my guests loved the cute theme and the snacks, homemade and ready made both. Thank you to Dollar Tree for making this day possible, and wonderfully affordable. I went all out with the food, drinks, dishes, and decor, and it still added up to just $39! You could easily do a less involved but still very cute version of this picnic for less than $20. For ultimate ease, just make the garlic feta spread with crackers and the blueberry sauce.
The aloe vera gel my husband thoughtfully picked up last week was put to work on my developing sunburn immediately, which saved me from a lot of pain. Next time, I'm going to add sunscreen to my Dollar Tree shopping list!
