Think pink when you patronise the Thai Passion promotion at Melting Pot Café. Personally, I'd begin my Thai culinary tour with Guay Tiew Reua — Thailand's much loved flat rice noodles. This particular version features a blush pink broth with sliced fish cake, fish balls, beansprouts and kangkung. The unusual hue of the mildly sweet-savoury soup is due to the inclusion of Thai fermented soya bean curd. It's hearty, comforting fare to satisfy.
That and over 15 Thai dishes from a rotational menu are prepared nightly by Thai Chef Nopporn Nutto will take centrestage for dinner from now until 31 August 2018. A native of old Bangkok town known as Bangkok Noi, Chef Nopporn has more than 17 years of experience when it comes to tantalising diners with his mouthwatering Thai specialities.
Depending on the night's menu du jour, let the chef tickle your tastebuds with interesting and familiar faves from the Land of Smiles. Among the outstanding choices we glean from the spread include Yam Kai Dao — spicy fried egg salad with an enticing sour-salty-sweet dressing with lots of garlic and fresh coriander; Yum Nuea-Yarng — sliced beef salad and the popular Som Tam — green papaya salad.
Loading up on the requisite quota of greens is made easy with Nam Prik Ka-Pi — Thai sambal dip made from pinkish local belacan (shrimp paste), to be eaten with raw and blanched vegetables.
Poh Pia Tod — Thai spring rolls with its glass noodles and minced chicken filling, Tod Mun Pla — fried fish cakes and Mini Prawn Cakes with Thai sweet chilli sauce.
Gaeng Som Pla Krob — fried fish with gaeng som sauce and Gaeng Khiao Wahn Gai — green curry chicken with fresh green chilies pounded with fresh coriander (cilantro), kaffir lime leaf and basil.
The Thais are people after our own hearts as no meal is complete without some sweet treats. All the expectant offerings: Kao Niew Ma-muang — sticky rice with mango, Tub Tim Krob and Gluay Kai Chueam — Thai roasted bananas in golden syrup among others beckon from the buffet parade.
Melting Pot Cafe's Thai Passion promotion is served available at RM110 nett per person inclusive of the nightly buffet spread until 31 August 2018. Keep your eyes peeled for special tags indicating the Thai delicacies.

Poulsen, who retired this year as the top immigration enforcement official in the central San Joaquin Valley, tried to strike a balance between stopping illegal immigration and protecting farmers' interests. His office rarely conducted audits, never issued a fine and avoided messy, high-profile raids that would permanently shut down a business and separate families.
"There's a little bit of a tightrope. I understand where the farmers are coming from," said Poulsen, who grew up harvesting potatoes in Idaho. "You don't want to see people go out of business, but at the same time, we're sworn to do a job and can't look the other way."
Things may be changing: The Obama administration has stepped up the pace of audits, which are less likely to spark a backlash than workplace raids. For example, of 16 audits conducted in the central San Joaquin Valley over the past eight years, 11 have come since late 2008.
Some agriculture leaders in the Valley are worried about the audits, which can hurt businesses by making them fire all their illegal workers.
But government figures show that the new effort is tame compared to the early 1990s, when immigration officials fined about 900 companies a year and audited thousands. This year, they fined 237.
Many experts say aggressively cracking down on employers will rid the nation of illegal immigrants. Because the vast majority of them come here to work, America would be a much less appealing destination without job opportunities.
But advocates for stricter enforcement say there is little political appetite to sever the co-dependent relationship between businesses and illegal immigrants.
And aggressive enforcement, agents have learned, can backfire.
In the late 1990s, in response to calls for tougher enforcement, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service — which later became Immigration and Customs Enforcement — blanketed Midwestern meat-packing companies with audits that identified thousands of employees suspected of being illegal immigrants.
Frightened workers left in droves, slowing slaughter-line speeds to a crawl and hurting farmers who relied on the meat-packing businesses.
"All hell broke loose," said Mark Reed, a former top INS official who was in charge of the crackdown, dubbed Operation Vanguard. "All of a sudden, these communities that wanted these people out of there realized that they needed them. They didn't realize that the kids who played on their soccer teams and the people they went to church with were going to go. They didn't realize that they were the center of their economy."
Nebraska's governor and members of Congress intervened. Operation Vanguard — which was scheduled to expand to the rest of the country — was nipped in the bud.
That's the problem with aggressive enforcement — it works too well, Reed said. The Obama administration's strategy could cause trouble, too, if it targets entire industries with audits. So far, however, ICE has focused on cases driven by leads — an approach that is more tempered than Operation Vanguard.
"They're smarter about it today," Reed said. "They're very cautiously going out and doing the audits in such a way that they won't rock the boat so much that they'll lose their authority."
But the essential problem remains: Create too much publicity about immigration enforcement and risk a backlash from politicians and business leaders. Too little, however, means businesses won't pay attention.
The history of immigration enforcement in the Central Valley has been marked by inconsistencies and shifting policies.
Decades ago, federal agents would show up at fields in vans and helicopters to round up and deport illegal workers. Often, the workers would come right back.
David Remus, now a school librarian in Clovis, worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the 1970s and saw it firsthand.
"Sometimes the Border Patrol would come by and pick them up and they'd be back the next day from Mexico," he said.
In 1986, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to almost 3 million immigrants and made it a crime to hire illegal workers. Agents were required to obtain search warrants; the result was fewer raids.
In the 1990s, the Border Patrol — which at that time wasn't restricted to the border — infiltrated human smuggling rings and tried to crack down on fake document vendors. Its agents also posed as grape growers and ranchers in the Valley and asked smugglers to bring them workers.
But in 1996, the Border Patrol began withdrawing from the INS Fresno office, which covered the central San Joaquin Valley. The office was left with few resources to investigate smugglers or to document vendors or employers who hired illegal immigrants.
"We lost a lot of ground," Poulsen said. "It was very frustrating."
Acting on tips from disgruntled workers or competing businesses, agents tried to crack down on businesses that hired illegal immigrants.
But those they audited usually were able to negotiate a small fine — "a slap on the hand," Poulsen said. Agents grew tired of it and decided to focus their efforts elsewhere.
After the backlash from Operation Vanguard, INS scaled back employer enforcement efforts across the country. And following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, INS narrowed its focus to contractors that worked at places critical to national security, such as airports and military bases. As a consequence, the number of employers fined dropped from 535 in 1998 to 13 in 2002, according to government data.
After ICE was formed in March 2003, the Fresno office began to regain its footing. But because the office had limited resources and a wide range of responsibilities, most employers escaped scrutiny, said Poulsen, who was a supervising agent until he became the resident agent in charge of the Fresno office in 2006.
From 2003 to 2006, the office didn't audit a single company. In the last two years — following the national trend — it has audited 11. Still, it has yet to fine a single company in the central San Joaquin Valley.
The Fresno office has been even less aggressive with raids. Poulsen remembers only one, in 2004 — a boat-manufacturing business in Merced that refused to fire illegal workers. He said about a dozen illegal workers were arrested. The employer wasn't arrested or fined.
When angry employers complained to Poulsen about being audited, he told them it could be worse: "I'd say, 'Well I'm auditing you instead of showing up with a dozen agents and shutting you down completely. I'm doing you a favor.' "
Part of the reason for his approach, he said, was that he understood the farmers' plight.
"Nobody is more empathetic to the farmworkers than I," he said. "The guys who have their grapes, they need to have their crops harvested. In our society, we think we're too good for stoop labor. There has to be somebody to do it."
During the waning years of the Bush administration, immigration agents grabbed headlines by raiding companies and deporting workers. The raids across the country drew controversy, just as Operation Vanguard did a decade earlier.
The Obama administration decided to take a different approach.
In April 2009, ICE issued a memo that downplayed the importance of raids, noting that they did little to prove that employers knowingly hired illegal immigrants.
Instead, it hired scores of auditors and directed them to build cases against businesses. If an audit shows that a business employed illegal immigrants, the owner must fire them to avoid fines of up to $3,200 for each illegal worker — or prison time.
In 2006, ICE spent just 2% of its staff time on worksite enforcement, and not a single company was fined for hiring illegal immigrants. This year, it audited 2,196 businesses and fined 237.
Still, ICE spent only about 5% of its staff time on worksite enforcement through April — less than a fourth of the time it spent on drug smuggling.
Manuel Cunha, president of the Fresno-based Nisei Farmers League, an association of agriculture businesses in the Western U.S., said ICE audited four growers in his association last year, forcing them to fire many of their workers. He described it as a farmer's "worst nightmare."
"It was like Satan came to their door and said, 'We're taking your children because you know what? Your children sinned,' " Cunha said. "These farmers knew these workers. They were part of their community. They were part of their families. You yank them out, what does that do to that industry? To those farmers? To those workers?"
Mike Saqui, a Sacramento immigration attorney for businesses, said an audit can be destructive for businesses. One client who was audited in the middle of harvest-time last year had to fire 269 of his 280 field workers.
If ICE wanted to use audits to get agriculture employers' attention, it worked. Cunha said growers worry about audits "every day now."
Yet some doubt the administration's audit strategy will succeed.
Reed, the former INS official who now runs an immigration consultant firm in Tucson, Ariz., said ICE should take a more comprehensive strategy and audit all companies in a region in the same industry instead of its current "hodgepodge" approach. Otherwise, he said, businesses will continue to hire illegal immigrants because they believe there's little risk of an audit.
And another expert thinks ICE needs to continue workplace raids to clamp down on employers.
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, said audits alone don't do enough because illegal immigrants don't have to worry about being arrested."What we have now is half a loaf," Vaughan said.
Philip Martin, an immigration and farm labor expert at the University of California at Davis, said another question is whether the administration will follow its strategy consistently.
"So far, it hasn't been sustained long enough for it to have a significant effect," he said. "That's the big question: Is it going to be sustained?"
Audits aren't the only thing employers are worried about. Immigration officials are deporting illegal immigrants — many of them working for farmers or construction companies — at a record pace. In the 2009-10 fiscal year, they deported 393,000 — almost twice as many as four years earlier.
Much of the focus has been on deporting illegal immigrants suspected or convicted of crimes. But others often are swept up in such efforts.
That is what happened in Mendota during a February 2007 raid that was criticized by some local officials. Mendota officials said it took residents about a year to recover and the local economy suffered. Former Fresno mayor Alan Autry criticized ICE for being "mind-boggling in its callousness."
Erik Bonnar, the deputy field office director who supervises deportations in the San Joaquin Valley, said agents couldn't ignore the fact that some residents were illegal immigrants.
"If our officers determine that they're here illegally, then they'll take them into custody," he said.More recently, ICE started a program in 2007 called Secure Communities that has attracted growing attention. It uses fingerprints to determine whether jail inmates are illegal immigrants, which often leads to their deportation.
Fresno, Tulare and Merced counties joined the rapidly expanding program this year. Because of jail overcrowding, however, many illegal immigrants arrested for misdemeanor crimes are not booked in jail.
Still, ICE officials predict Secure Communities will help the agency dramatically increase the number of deportations.
Win Eaton, a Bakersfield-based immigration attorney who represents several agriculture employers, said his clients are "running scared" because of the audits and increasing number of deportations. The worst is yet to come, he said.
"We're seeing a great deal more enforcement activity in 2010 than we ever saw under the Bush administration," Eaton said. "What I'm most concerned about is where this could lead."

Has Homelessness Increased in Long Beach? Most Agree, Yes
A woman walks into the new Long Beach homeless shelter, Atlantic Bridge Community, as the homeless are allowed to move in on its first day of opening in Long Beach Thursday, October 1, 2020. Photo by Thomas R. Cordova.
Long Beach Poston September 1, 2021
"We agreed to the homeless shelter because we thought it would help get homeless people off the street," Renette Mazza, who serves as president of the Hamilton Neighborhood Association, said.
But a handful of residents in the Hamilton neighborhood believe the homelessness crisis has gotten worse in their neighborhood over the last two years.
The COVID-19 pandemic prevented health officials from collecting up-to-date numbers on who is homeless in the city. That lack of data has made it difficult for health officials to accurately say if more people are homeless in Long Beach, however, some experts argue that there are.
"What is clear is that the visibility has definitely increased from previous years," Paul Duncan, Long Beach homeless services officer, said. "I would not argue [with] anyone saying that it appears that there is an increase. We have seen a significant number of new people coming in for services."
Duncan and other health department officials attribute the city's challenge to meet the needs of the homeless to the pandemic's side effects on job security and the ability to house people in congregate settings.
"The pandemic in many ways has set us back in our efforts to address the homeless in Long Beach," Health and Human Services Director Kelly Colopy said during a recent City Council meeting.
The pandemic did provide a silver lining for the city's future response to homelessness, Colopy said.
An influx of federal and state funding has allowed officials to plan future homeless shelters and housing programs, but health officials face a steep challenge.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report showed that over 580,000 people were counted as homeless during the national 2020 point-in-time count, representing a 2.2% increase over 2019. The point-in-time count took place in January, just before the pandemic brought on economic disruption and housing instability.
In Long Beach, results from the most recent 2020 homeless count showed the number of homeless people citywide grew by 7% between 2019 and 2020 from 1,894 to 2,034.
Notably, the number of people experiencing homelessness who were not staying in a shelter grew 24%. There was also a 27% reduction in the number of people staying at a city shelter or transitional housing program between 2019 and 2020.
Long Beach numbers for 2021 are not available because a point-in-time homeless count did not take place in the wake of the pandemic. One is expected to take place next year.
Duncan reported that the city did, however, conduct a shelter count in which the city saw 200 more people staying in shelters in 2021 compared to 2020.
At the county level, officials saw a 35% increase in people staying at shelters, from 800 people to 1,083, between 2020 to 2021. The data does not include Long Beach numbers, but it does include surrounding cities and along the border.
Shelter space in Long Beach before the pandemic was scarce.
The only walk-up shelter the city had at the time was the winter shelter, which had 125 beds in West Long Beach, according to health department spokeswoman Jennifer Rice Epstein. The county operated the shelter in partnership with the city, which opened on Dec. 6, 2019 before closing on March 31, 2020.
As that shelter closed, the city opened temporary shelters throughout the year. The health department opened a temporary shelter at MLK Park, which had 75 beds, and Silverado Park, which hosted 50 beds.
Combined, the two temporary shelters provided the same number of beds the winter shelter provided before closing. To offer even more space, the county launched Project Roomkey and Project Homekey. The two combined provided a total of 88 motel units to people who were given vouchers to stay.
As COVID cases began to jump, health department officials reduced shelter beds in an effort to keep people apart to stop the spread of the virus, which reduced the number of people a shelter could take in.
Temporary shelters also closed when the North Branch Library opened, which previously operated as another winter shelter. The 100-plus bed spaces that shelter provided were reduced, and about 65 people were housed there at any given time, officials said.
All temporary park-based shelters also closed when the city opened the North Long Beach Atlantic Farms Bridge housing center and the county began offering hotel rooms to some individuals through Project Roomkey.
Insufficient income, loss of a job, family disputes and mental health issues drove many people into homelessness, Colopy said. The city's 2020 report showed that nearly half of homeless people said it was their first time living on the street.
Jails and prisons also released people with nonviolent offenses, but there was little or no additional housing services to meet their needs, leaving many of them homeless as well, officials said.
The CDC then ruled that encampments were seen as households and ordered cities to not tear them apart.
"We began hearing about more encampments, as CDC guidance called for a pause in encampment clean ups and camp destructions to avoid communal spread of the virus," Colopy said.
Atlantic Housing
That's why the city put so much hope into the Atlantic Farms Bridge Housing Center, which opened in North Long Beach in the middle of the pandemic.
It was designed to be more than just a temporary shelter and would provide services to lead people towards permanent housing.
"The opening of Bridge Housing in Uptown reflects our community's compassion and leadership in addressing a critical issue in our city, our capacity to deal with the homelessness and its effects on our community," North Long Beach Councilman Rex Richardson said in a statement the day it opened on Oct. 2, 2020.
But social-distancing protocols also reduced the number of people the housing center could serve at the time. The 125-bed capacity available at the center was reduced to 84.
Volunteers of America Los Angeles, the nonprofit group that was hired by the city to run the housing center, said there were 67 people at the center as of Aug. 11. On average, people spent about three to four months at the facility.
A nonprofit spokesman said a total of 173 people have been given temporary housing and jobs training at the shelter as of August since it opened in October.
The Atlantic Bridge housing center is not a traditional homeless shelter where people typically come in at night and are asked to leave in the morning.
People have to first be brought to the city's Multi-service Center in West Long Beach where a health department case manager pre-screens them and determines if the housing and jobs-training programs provided at the center are a right fit.
Funding challenge
Bringing the North Long Beach housing center online cost the city well over $10 million: $9.5 million to purchase the land parcel and $5 million in partial state grant money and general fund revenue to pay for construction. The city agreed to pay Volunteers of America Los Angeles $2,080,500 using mostly grant funding to operate the Atlantic Farms Bridge housing community.
Homelessness continues to be a costly challenge for the city, City Manager Tom Modica said during a City Council meeting on Aug. 10, however funding from the state could help cover much of the costs.
In the past year, the city has received "substantial increases" in funding as officials recognized homelessness as a public health crisis, according to Colopy, but because of the pandemic's effects on social distancing all the available funding was not enough to help people find housing.
"The funding need is still incredibly great," Modica said. "Affordable housing is incredibly expensive to build. Every time we open one of our shelters too, those take operational dollars to run."
A task force created in 2018 under the city's "Everyone Home" initiative set out to raise $25 million in sustainable funding and $200 million in capital funding. Colopy said the task force could meet half of the capital funding goal by 2023, and cited an influx in state funding as the main driving force.
"Rapidly expanding state and county funding has helped us move very close to this goal," Colopy said.
When the Everyone Home task force formed in 2018, the group had eight funding sources at its disposal for a total of $39 million. As of 2021, that's grown to 11 funding sources totaling nearly $95 million.
Of that money, Colopy said about $5 million is set aside for homeless prevention, $4 million is set aside for rapid housing and nearly $6 million will go towards permanent supportive housing.
The city is also looking to hire more public health employees who specialize in nursing and mental health. The homelessness division was reformed into its own bureau within the health department on June 15, which has allowed for more hiring opportunities, Colopy said.
The former Homeless Services Division had 41 budgeted full-time employees. As of May 2021, the newly restructured Homeless Services Bureau has added 31 new full-time employees, totaling 72 workers with additional positions expected.
The increase in employees in the past year, and the expected new positions, will help officials staff new homeless shelters and transitional housing programs, according to a city memo.
The health department also is looking at modular tiny homes for transitional housing as part of the Long Beach Recovery Act.
Moving forward, health officials are focusing on reducing the number of people who fall into homelessness to fewer than 1,500 annually.
"If people fall into homelessness, they can be rehoused within six months," Colopy said.

Game of Thrones creator billionaire Lin Qi poisoned with neurotoxin
An employee of his company was detained on suspicion of involvement in the murder.
Billionaire Lin Qi, 39, died eight days after being admitted to hospital with acute pain, The Guardian reported .
Qin Li was the owner of Yoozoo Games Co, which developed the video game Game of Thrones: Winter Is Coming for smartphones and PCs, based on the series of the same name. In addition, along with the creators of the TV series "Game of Thrones" David Benioff and D.B. Weiss Lee has been named one of the producers of the sci-fi film The Three Bodies Problem, which is currently being developed by Netflix. It is an adaptation of Liu Qixin's famous trilogy of the same name, which became the first translated book in history to receive the Hugo Award for Best Science Fiction Work.

According to the Chinese media, Qin Li was admitted to the hospital on December 16 with acute pain. He was immediately hospitalized, and soon doctors were forced to resort to resuscitation after cardiac arrest. The press service of Yoozoo Games Co announced the stabilization of its director's condition and hopes for a speedy recovery, but the next day there were signs of brain death.
According to the doctors, Lin was poisoned. Initially, it was suggested that the businessman was poisoned with blueberries or aged pu-erh tea, but then a new version was put forward: a whole cocktail of poisons was introduced into the body. Judging by the symptoms, the cause of death was the action of such a neurotoxin as tetrodotoxin - this substance is found, for example, in puffer fish.
In the case of poisoning, the general director of the subsidiary company Yoozoo Games Co Xu Yao was detained, and although the arrest took place promptly, the suspect refused to disclose which poisons he used. This was one of the reasons that Qin, who had not received the antidote, died. According to the Chinese media, the most likely motive for the murder was a "labor disagreement": the killer, whose company was developing the Netflix project, had his salary cut.
The capital of the deceased businessman, according to the Hurun China Rich List, is about 6.8 billion yuan, or more than $ 1 billion.

You grew up at the exact same time as the tech and the internet market if you're an older millennial like me. When the web hadn't yet been taken over by corporations, you keep in mind the Wild West days. You remember having the ability to go to without needing to browse a concealed temple's worth of challenging advertisement traps and pop-ups.
The phrase "dot-com bubble" sits someplace in your brain next to mental images of Bill Clinton, Tupac, and Beavis and Butt-Head. If someone mentions a 56k modem, you remember the sound immediately. You remember when Google made a name on their own with the simple slogan, "Don't be evil," and what it resembled prior to they failed to measure up to that slogan.
If BetterHelp was going to alter my mind, they needed to reveal me that they might remain true to what makes therapy work.
As you consider subscribing to's service, you need to understand how its quality of treatment compares to standard in-person therapy as well as the services of its online competitors. Who are the therapists, and how qualified are they? Do the healing methods lend themselves well to a teletherapy format?
In testing and in conversations with other customers, it became clear to us that the quality of therapy is extremely high. For many individuals, the business will have the ability to provide you with a broader and more varied set of therapist choices than you could reasonably access nearby in a conventional, in-person setting. When it comes to credentials, licensing, and experience, we find that sets a great, aggressive bar for its therapists to satisfy. Most of these therapists count on methods that have actually proven efficient in clinical studies.

Those who follow my Instagram or my personal FB page might think we are habitual gamblers! Or, Krispy Kreme addicts. Okay, maybe we hit the Krispy K a little too much, but the hot light app gets me every time! For the three weeks leading up to our departure, we spent the weekends boondocking, or dry camping, in the Mohegan Sun Casino RV Parking lot. It was about an hour from home; long enough for a test drive, yet not too long of a ride. Mohegan offers this parking lot specifically for RVers who want to stay and play! There were surprisingly others braving the chilly temps in March...we weren't the only crazy ones!
Once you pull into the lot, as the sign states, you call the dispatch office to check in. A security officer will meet you in the lot to issue you a required parking permit. The permit is free and can be found on their website >> here <<. If you can print it out in advance and have it fully completed, great. If not, security will have on for you. You can stay up to seven days on one permit, after which you need to reapply for another one. Once the officer signs off on your permit, just pop it in the window and you're good to go! A shuttle will come through the lot every 15-20 minutes to bring you to and from the casino. It's not required, but a nice gesture to tip the driver...they will literally pick you up and drop you off at your door, instead of the bus shelters. This comes in handy on rainy days.
The RV lot is high on a hill overlooking the Thames River. The view is lovely. Just off to the left is the casino hotel, erect and luring in the near vicinity.
Our first weekend here it was still too cold unwinterize the water lines...it was a dry trip! We packed simple breakfasts, ran the generator to make coffee and toast, and dined at the casino for either a big lunch or a big supper. For in between meals it was cheese and crackers, or hummus and carrots...and mini eggs. This was our lucky weekend. On sheer ignorance, having never run a slot machine before, Sean was max- betting and hit several bonus spin. He put in $20, bet $3 per spin, unknowingly, and won a few hundred!! Beginners Luck!! Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana has a restaurant in the casino, this was our choice this weekend. They are an iconic Connecticut pizza place offering coal fired, Neapolitan style pizza. The crust gets that lovely black char on it from the high-temperature oven. It's amazing...and a large pizza is a LARGE pizza. There were 4 of us, we ordered: Foxon Park sodas, salads and 2 large pizzas: margarita (tomato sauce and mozzarella) and margarita with added garlic.
Our second weekend was much of the same....except for the winnings. We had Pepe's again; this time adding pepperoni (wha-who, we know how to party). All systems, except water, were tested again - and were functional: furnace, heat pump, propane, oven, stove top, generator, 12 volt; they all passed inspection.
Our third, and final weekend, was our transitional weekend....we had everything fully packed and were ready to go southwest from here! It was emotional leaving friends and family, and a little stressful ensuring that all our other affairs were settled, and/or in order. Staying a little longer this time around was a buffer; a way to decompress and get focused on our trip. Our families drove down to spend the day with us for one final goodbye. Friday Sean's brother stayed with us - as he did the past two weekends. We ate at the Land Down Irish Pub - the Irish Nachos, Fried Fish Sandwich, and Bangers & Mash were all excellent. Saturday my Mom & Dad came down for the day. They hadn't been to Mohegan in quite some time, so we gave them a tour of where we had been spending most of our time. We all had fun; we played the slots and then hit Land Down again...it's that good! Most of the same was ordered again in the addition to Pub Sliders, and a Bacon Burger. My brother, Shirley, and James came down on Sunday......we hit the buffet this time; it was very good. Given Sean's food allergies, and that James doesn't eat meat, there were still plenty of choices to accommodate their restrictions. Along with the prime rib, I sampled the Portuguese mussels, shrimp & butternut risotto, panko fried shrimp - then hit the dessert area for some coffee ice cream and flan.
The casino, lit up at night, in the rain; taken from inside the RV.
We left Mohegan a little bloated from all the great food - until next time. Mundo Wigo.
Sounds like a fun trip! Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Happy Easter, have a great weekend!
Road Trip! We just got back from one ourselves. Not in a fun RV mind you but still fun.


The Living Rock Caverns is a members-only area that was added on 17 September 2009. The area was designed for players with high levels in Fishing and Mining.
Players can enter the caverns from the north in the Dwarven Mine under Falador and Ice Mountain, by climbing the rope attached to the crevice just south of the north-eastern entrance ladder and east from the Keldagrim Mine cart.
There are no quest or skill requirements necessary to enter this area. However, it is a dangerous area, as aggressive level 92 living rock creatures guard the resources, so training skills here may very well be interrupted regularly and dangerous. Protection prayers can be used to avoid most damage. It is also possible to lure the creatures at each resource, so that the resource can be gathered without being attacked, and some resource areas even have safe spots. However, combat is considerably more difficult to avoid if travelling between the resource and bank deposit.
For players of low combat or wishing to spend a long time in the cavern, it may be advised to train with other players on the official Living Rock Cavern world 84.
The image on the RuneScape home page on the day of its release.
The Lassar Teleport from the Ancient Spellbook, the Monastery teleport from the combat bracelet or the Body altar teleport all teleport close to this entrance.
Through the entrance in the north of Falador, or the Mining Guild, then north, then west to the entrance to the Living Rock Caverns.
Take the mine cart from Keldagrim to Ice Mountain. From the cart station, go south to the second passage way east. From here, first go east and then north around a chasm. At the top end of this chasm, climb a rope down to the Living Rock Caverns. This may be the most convenient way, as players can also travel to the Grand Exchange and White Wolf Mountain on the mine cart system, as well as Dorgesh-Kaan through the Dorgesh-Kaan - Keldagrim Train System (if the player has completed Another Slice of H.A.M.). Jagex has also pointed out that players can smelt and smith their ore at the Blast Furnace near the cart station in Keldagrim.
Through a directed skilling portal in the Max Guild of Prifddinas. Requires Plague's End and at least one 99 or a Quest Point Cape.

The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC) conducted its second meeting of 2019 alongside the ICANN64 Community Forum, on March 9-10 in Kobe, Japan. Hosted by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and in partnership with ICANN, the meeting offered GCSC members the opportunity to engage with the ICANN community, which lies at the foundation of Internet governance and multistakeholder cooperation.
The Commission also met in closed sessions on March 9 and 10, with a focus on developing a definition of "cyber stability" and underlying principles in support of international efforts to advance peace and security in cyberspace. The Commission also continued its work to identify policy recommendations and a governance framework in which to embed norms and anchor stability in cyberspace.
During its time in Japan, the Commission participated in several sessions of the ICANN64 program, including holding a public consultation with the ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee. Commissioners also had the opportunity to engage with several ICANN constituencies at the forum, providing briefings to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Non-Commercial Users Stakeholder's Group, the Noncommercial Users Constituency, and the Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency. In addition, Commissioners met with members of the ICANN Board and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC).
For the remainder of the year, Commissioners will be preparing the GCSC report, which will contain recommendations on a framework for an international security architecture in cyberspace that address elements of norm implementation, monitoring and accountability, and ensuring continued involvement from the stakeholders invested in a peaceful and secure cyberspace.
The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, the EastWest Institute, the Chairs and Commissioners would like to thank the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and ICANN for hosting the GCSC in Kobe, as well as the GCSC partners, the governments of the Netherlands, Singapore and France, Microsoft, ISOC, Afilias, and the other funders for their support.
The GCSC will next convene in June 2019 in The Hague, alongside the EuroDIG conference. In the run-up to this meeting, the GCSC continues to welcome input from all stakeholders on its work. Comments may be sent to [email protected].


Emotional maturity entails being able to accept the imperfections and failings of others, and acknowledging the randomness of certain life events. It requires the ability to assess a situation for its real meaning and impact and respond accordingly.
No one is born with emotional maturity; it is shaped by our relationship with and upbringing by our parents, and life experiences. Parents raise mature children by validating, mirroring, loving, and accepting their children. Parents who have achieved personal fulfillment and their own emotional maturity tend to raise mature children.
An emotionally mature adult grows from a childhood where one successfully struggles with failures, disappointments, and heartaches. A high IQ (intelligence quotient) doesn't necessarily lead one to develop emotional maturity; many who are born with few advantages can develop into mature, well-adjusted adults.
It should be noted that emotional maturity is closely related to the concept of emotional intelligence, which recognizes the benefits of becoming adept at handling and recognizing their own and others' feelings.
Emotional maturity includes taking responsibility for your feelings and not blaming others for causing them. Those with a high degree of emotional maturity recognize that others are not responsible for our thoughts or reactions.
A hallmark of emotional maturity is maintaining self-control during times of stress, adversity, and perceived failure. Emotional maturity allows the individual to gain perspective of a situation before reacting impulsively.
It is important to remember that exhibiting emotional maturity will have a far-reaching impact on those around you. Parents who integrate emotional maturity into their interactions with their children are being excellent role models, for they are providing their children with some of the necessary tools for living a rewarding and satisfying life.
Seeking out the services of a counselor or therapist has been found to be a very effective tool for learning techniques to increase your emotional maturity.
The counseling process will allow you to gain greater insight into the behaviors that have kept you from attaining a higher degree of maturity and will provide a pathway for gaining that needed maturity.
Therapists can offer guidance that will help you resolve long-lasting childhood issues that are making you feel stuck, and will lead to gaining greater acceptance of your parents and yourself. Gaining emotional maturity is about making peace with one's past in order to live fully in the present.

Q: How can I get PHP to include form values when sending an email the first time? (WordPress Admin) I am using Advanced Custom Fields within a WooCommerce shop to allow me to populate and include shipping service and tracking number info whenever I fill those values, set the order status to "Completed", and hit update.
However, the values won't hydrate in the email template until the second time because I think the post_meta is not in existence the first time around. Can someone please help me figure out how to get that right away?

 $track = get_field($order->id, 'tracking_number', true);

 $status = $order->get_status();
 $shippingService = get_post_meta($order->id, 'shipping_service', true);
 $trackingNumber = get_post_meta($order->id, 'tracking_number', true);
 $trackingURL = '';
 switch ($shippingService) {
    case "FedEx":

Welcome to my first Mommy Matters Monday! I decided last week that I needed a mom/parenting link up because I always have mom related posts in my mind, but never get down to writing them! I had a whole different plan on what to write today, but that will have to wait. Something happened this weekend that I want to share.
Most of our plans we had this weekend kind of flew out the window Saturday morning. The kids were up at some really stupid early hour (I think it was like 6am). My husband and I got up, gave them breakfast and discussed what we wanted to do for the day. We had plans to go downtown and to a little shopping, picnic in the part and maybe a walk around the harbor. Sounds like a great Saturday right?
It is an Ikea change table. We don't use the bottom self for anything. The kids however love it. They sit on it, they pretend its a bed, the change teddies 'diapers' on it. It is less than a foot of the ground. Anyways… as I am trying to avoid being kicked while putting pants on I hear my son fall off the shelf. He has done this many times. He is crying, my husband goes to his aid right away and calms him down. He seems fine. We change him. Get him dressed.
He is now very cranky. He is crying every few minutes. We don't think much of it because 1. he is getting molars and 2. when he is up early he is always grouchy at this time of day. I decided going out can be put off for a bit and I take my son for a nap. We snuggle in bed. It was actually really nice. I think 30 minutes later we get up. My son is happy again. Great. Then he is not happy again. Not so great. We soon figure out the sources of his grouchy/crying. We notice every time he tries to crawl he cries. We then narrowed it down to that his right arm, and see that it is really bothering him. So off to the hospital we go. All of us.
Usually the emergency room is not that full, and the wait is not that long (it works a bit differently here). However, Saturday, there were 21 people a head of us. It sucked. Neither children were interested in being there. Eventually my son went in, I stayed and occupied my daughter.
Two hairline fractures in his arm. He will be in the cast for 3 weeks. I kind of feel bad. I am having huge mommy guilt. For one, it took us two hours to finally take him to the hospital. We really were not expecting it to be broken. Second I hate that there is nothing we could have done to prevent it. He fell from such a small height. He just landed wrong. I knew that I would one day have to deal with a broken something with the kids, however Saturday was too soon. I also thought for sure that it would be my daughter, she is the fearless daredevil. But I guess boys will be boys.
Once he had the cast on, he was super cranky for a couple of hours. I am sure he was pretty sore. After that it was like nothing happened beside the few frustration fits because he can't use is arm normally. Sunday we had our happy son again. I was even able to get him to sit still long enough to get some pictures of the cast.
Since he was sitting, I decided to play around with the film grain option on my camera.
I know grain is something that a lot of people try to remove. I think it can give such an interesting feeling to a photo! And I love this next one. It was my favorite that I took.
I love the emotion in it (don't worry, he was just pissed at me because I wouldn't let him have the camera). I really love to capture the sad, angry moments in my children. I don't want all my pictures to be of them happy. Is that strange?

Instinct was delighted to work in partnership with Microhire to produce the annual Ronald McDonald House Charity Gala corproate Ball at Crown Palladium for over 1000 guests.
For this year the RMHC Silver Linings Ball Organising Committee wanted to break from the standard ball formula and totally change things up with a focus on innovation. Collaborating together on a stunning solution the Instinct and Microhire teams changed the orientation of the Palladium to focus on a large stage and huge 18-meter wide screen set on the 'West Wall'. Guests were amazed when they entered the room and many commented on how much closer they felt to the stage.
As always then entertainment at the RMHC Ball is greatly anticipated and by all reactions the guests were again enthralled. With MC Craig Hutchison hosting the formalities, the entertainment included Wickid Force, Australia's Break dancing Champions, stunning vocal trio The Diamonds, renowned Australian contemporary recording artist Timomatic, and back for the second year running, the amazing Chloe Maggs Band.
Thank you so much for a great night, the entertainment including the Diamonds was fantastic!!!! Your work throughout the whole lead up to the event was wonderful and I have enjoyed the process immensely – Michael Davey, Creative Director Microhire.

Iran private sector upbeat about expansion of economic relations with Armenia
Chairman of Iran-Armenia Joint Chamber of Commerce Hervic Yarijanian said he believed that Tehran and Yerevan will witness an increase in promotion of bilateral relations.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Iran Chamber newsroom, Yarijanian said that Iran is presently the third biggest exporter of goods to Armenia.
He added that it is possible for Iran to leave behind China to become the second biggest exporter to Armenia.
Referring to problems caused by Azerbaijan on the way of Iran's exports to Armenia, he said that the road which is going to replace Goris-Kapan transit road is safer and is expected to give a boost to relations between Iran and Armenia.
Baku claims that some 20 kilometers of the 400km-long Goris-Kapan road from Iran's Norduz border crossing to Yerevan is part of Azerbaijan's soil.
The country has imposed strict regulations on Iranian trucks on their way to the Armenian capital, forcing them to pay $130 tolls.
Yarijanian said that Iran is one of the main suppliers of fuel, polymer, and textile products, raw materials, and home appliances to Armenia.
Also referring to Armenia's 4% customs tariffs with Canada and Switzerland, he said that Iranian commodities can be re-exported to other countries through the Armenian soil.

Surrogacy Here In Florida:
Surrogacy Law In The USA:
Surrogacy or Adoption?
Summary Comments:
Since surrogacy is so well protected here, Florida has become a frequent location for surrogacies all over the world.
Surrogacy & Egg Donation In Florida: A Safe Haven
(Click on the title to the left or here to read Mr. Eskin review.)
Florida currently has two excellent statutes that specifically regulate surrogacy.
The section of Florida law that permits and outlines the genetic surrogacy procedure is described in Florida Statute 63.212(1)(i). This law provides that a couple wishing to enter into such an arrangement must sign an agreement with a surrogate for her to carry the biological child of the intended father. The surrogate agrees that upon birth, the intended couple will obtain custody and later adopt the child. Signed consents are required prior to birth and are subject to revocation within seven days after birth (to the best of my knowledge, a genetic surrogate has never tried to rescind a written agreement in the state of Florida). In general, the adoption process with genetic surrogacy is an easy and reliable procedure.
Unlike the few states that permit genetic surrogacy, no fee or compensation may be paid to the surrogate here in Florida. This can save the intended parents tens of thousands of dollars! Expenses, including reasonable living expenses are given to the genetic surrogate regardless of the final pregnancy outcome.
The section of Florida law that permits and outlines the gestational surrogacy procedures is described in Florida Statute 742.15. This law states that a couple wishing to enter into such an arrangement must sign an agreement with a gestational surrogate to carry a child. Upon the child's birth, the surrogate will then deliver custody to the intended couple. No consent other than the original written agreement is necessary. The agreement is reviewed by the Court to confirm that it is in accordance with the law so that a new and accurate birth certificate can be issued. This process is much simpler and less risky than an adoption.
Most frequently, the intended couple reimburses the gestational surrogate for reasonable living expenses, pregnancy and delivery costs. Once again, no actual compensation is permitted in Florida, which can save the intended parents tens of thousands of dollars.
In many states other than Florida, surrogacy is banned, ill defined or provisionally permitted by interpreting analogous statutory laws. Only a handful of states expressly allow surrogacy in their statutes.
For an overview of the status of the various states and their surrogacy statutes, please press here.
Florida has some of the most comprehensive and progressive laws existing today that protect the baby, the intended parents, the egg donor and the surrogate herself.
Specifically, in Florida, gestational surrogacy is regulated through the paternity statute. Interestingly, gestational surrogacy allows for a greater number of combinations including the use of donated eggs (other than those from the intended mother) or donated sperm (other than sperm from the intended father). Since the surrogate does not have a genetic investment in the process, the Florida statutes still hold.
Entering into a surrogacy arrangement is a complicated matter involving the coordination of legal, medical and mental health professionals. It is necessary to engage the services of an attorney for each party: the intended couple and the surrogate. If the surrogate has a partner, their participation should be encouraged. Both types of surrogacies require a written agreement, which is submitted to a court upon initiation of the legal proceeding to either complete the adoption (genetic surrogacy) or confirm parentage (gestational surrogacy).
While adoption law is fairly well established, adoption opportunities are changing and, for many families, narrowing. However, with the advancement of medical technologies, new opportunities in the areas of reproductive law have allowed many couples to expand their families through surrogacy.
Because the legal uncertainties surrounding surrogacies has been pretty much resolved in Florida, Florida is an ideal state to establish and complete a surrogacy arrangement.
Surrogacy is a wonderful method for many couples to start and expand their family. Consultations with qualified medical and legal professionals are necessary to determine the appropriate route for each couple.

Best Animation Programs in Idaho
Written by ACR Staff. Last updated August 02, 2017.
Animation has come a long way. Years ago, animation was used mainly in the entertainment industry to create games, films, commercials, and television programs. Today, animation is used in the mobile communications industry, in education, in law enforcement, architecture, science, engineering, and the medical field. Because the need for animators with certain specialties is so great, some of the nation's best colleges and universities now offer all types of animation programs. The question is, are they any good?
Fortunately, a number of "best of" lists exist, so you won't have to figure out the answer on your own. A number of college ranking agencies compile "best of" lists each year based on factors such as student selectivity, class size, financial resources, peer assessment, number (and variety) of program offerings, faculty resources, and graduation and retention rates. These are just some of the factors college ranking agencies use to determine which schools will make the list.
Idaho is home to a small collection of more than a dozen accredited colleges and universities. Some of these schools made the list based on impressive scores all around. Fortunately, a few of these "best" schools offer some of the state's best animation programs. Browse through the list below to review Idaho's best schools for animators and what they have to offer.

Graduating from Loughborough University in 2001, Ben taught PE in Secondary Education before moving into professional cricket as Head of Strength and Conditioning at Sussex County Cricket Club. Ben's was also a consultant to the England U19 Cricket team in preparation for the U19 World Cup. In 2004, Ben was Assistant Basketball Coach at the Athens Paralympics with the GB Women's Wheelchair Basketball team. In 2008 he worked in British Tennis for the LTA as Strength and Conditioning Co-ordinator for the South of England.
This is quite a challenging questionto answer definitively. On reflection, there have been many factors that haveguided me towards working in youth sport. As with many things in life, it has been anevolution, rather than a revolution. Therehave been significant events, people and experiences that have shifted my focusmore towards working with young people. I do still work with adults in performancesport, in a consultancy format and that gives me huge pleasure but the balancehas certainly shifted during my career towards working predominantly with youngpeople.
As a boy who played and trained in a variety of sports, who also had the privilege to be taught by a brilliant PE teacher, I felt engaged with sports coaching and learning almost immediately. This teacher also gave me great pastoral support during my adolescent life and I felt a calling towards coaching and saw him and other coaches as positive role-models I wanted to emulate in the future.
A formative experience that then led me toward the area of Strength and Conditioning with youth populations, was my own injury experience as a young, fourteen year old, cricketer. In the early 90's I was an aspiring fast bowler involved in the junior England development programme and I encountered two significant challenges. The first was I got 'called' by an umpire for 'chucking' on some deliveries. This prompted me having to complete a process of action remodelling with sports scientist, Nigel Stockhill (who would go on to become the full England Men's Cricket Team Physiologist).
This process led me to work on lotsof biomechanical elements and to have to think personally very carefully aboutmy own movement , body awareness and how to adjust it. This was a fledglingtime in Sport Science in the UK so the technical tools available werecumbersome compared with current practice. Sadly despite remodelling my action,as a very skinny 15 year old, I then sustained a pars fracture in the lumbarspine!
This prompted Nigel to prescribe me aresistance training programme including in time 'power cleans' as my end stage rehab programme. Very progressive in1994! This engaged me with training and rehabilitation work at a young age andan interest in resistance training was born.
At university as I shifted mysporting focus to Basketball and whilst trying to build on my playing careerand make some much needed money to support my university life, I took on a rolecoaching 'playground' basketball in some deprived areas in and around Sheffield.This was eye opening and rewarding and once again drew me into the world ofyouth coaching. From here a PGCE in Physical Education followed and a teachingjob was a logical progression.
As I transitioned out of educationand into full-time S and C work with Sussex Cricket Club I was able to workboth with professional and younger Academy players. Whilst working with seniorswas often exhilarating, I increasingly found working with younger players morerewarding as foundations and movement qualities could be ingrained earlier andwith less resistance to the learning process. This prompted a move eventuallyto work with predominantly young players and coaches working with young playersin British tennis.
After spending a bit of time working with Kelvin Giles and Narelle Sibte in tennis I decided to work in an independent school with foundation bursary roots. Inspired by Kelvin's vision of physical competency and literacy development, I wanted to set up my own 'programme'; within a school.
Thus for the last ten years my dominantfocus has been here at Reed's School.
2)What has been your biggest influence in your practice in youth sport?
There have been great key coaches who have influenced my practice a great deal like Narelle Sibte, Kelvin Giles and Brendan Chaplin. However, my biggest influence has been simply doing the job since 2001 and learning from every situation, athlete and the range of practitioners and environments I have shared the experience with. I believe you are influenced most by the process of working with and coaching young people.
Working with young aspiring sportspeople, their families and all of the coaches and influences around them is sucha rich and diverse experience that you find the successes and challengesdevelop your coaching practice. In my career I have learnt a great deal frommedics and physiotherapists, technical coaches and more than anything elseyoung people themselves.
3) What isyour particular area of interest?
I have many areas of interest whenworking with youth sports people ranging from strength and power trainingprinciples and practice, through to developing mental skills and resiliencethrough the training and learning process. I would suggest that perhaps mygreatest interest relates to the understanding and management of cumulative load with young people.
In essence, helping young people navigate their lives including the physical, mental and logistics pressures they face, whilst trying to achieve their athletic performance goals and stay healthy and improving in training.
4) How doyou think this particular area applies to youth athletes?
It is critical to help young athletesstrike an appropriate balance in their lives. We often hear about the youthobesity epidemic however, at the other end of the continuum there are childrenand adolescents who have incredibly over loaded physically active lives. Theyneed support and guidance in being taught how to rest, recover and manage theirtraining safely and effectively around their busy lives.
I have seen this a great deal inyoung athletic populations particularly in youth tennis and hockey players andin numerous multi-sport athletes. Kelvin Giles makes the superb point that toooften young people are developed with significant deficits in their generalathleticism and physical competency. I would echo this view and I would alsosuggest too often they are poorly guided and managed by significant adults asthey grow mentally and physically in their sports.
Putting in place measurement andmonitoring tools and educating parents, coaches and the young people themselvesin managing their cumulative loadings, recovery strategies and trainingintensities is a big focus area for me.
5) Whatis the best piece of advice you've received?
I find in all areas of life andparticularly when working with young people, colleagues and team members,living by this mantra is a very simple way to achieve more success. I find itstaggering how many people do not truly listen to other people and try toempathise with their perspective.
By following this approach conflictsituations are far easier to resolve. I have found in recent years I have learnedthe painful lesson that very often life is not always a 'right and wrong'situation. As a younger coach I was very driven by what I felt was 'the right'course of action to take and this led to far more conflict in my life and onoccasion poor coaching decisions.
It is so valuable to step back andtruly try to see other people's perspectives. If after being more open andreflective you feel your view point is actually still the course of action totake, then this process enables more decisive and effective action and I wouldsuggest a more evidence rather than emotion based approach.
6) Whatadvice would you give to coaches working with youth athletes?
I believe a critical cornerstone ofany Youth S and C training programme is safe practice. This relates to thetraining environment and management of it, the loadings, prescriptions andvolume prescribed and the learning environment created. In essence the overallwelfare of a child in your programme must be constantly monitored every day inevery session and be at the centre of all coaching work completed. This isparticularly pertinent as young people do have the capability to unexpectedthings as they are maturing and learning new skills. Stay vigilant and create afantastic training environment for young people to thrive in!
This speaks for itself. I feelstrongly that young people need to work with positive role models. Individuals theycan trust, feel safe with, who can inspire and engage them and who they knowwill work hard for their needs and have their physical and mental well-being atthe heart of their decision-making with them.
Working with young people is rarely alinear progression. There are many factors to consider and challenges for themon the journey. As a key adult, helping shape their future I personally believethat integrity driven decisions and coaching behaviours are key. This approach,will, most likely result in the young person a coach is working with having avery positive and enriching experience and that is what we want to be aboutright! Being able to make important decisions and help nurture and supporttalented young people is an important responsibility!
Coaching is absolutely critical to the development process.A good coach is part mentor, part teacher and absolutely is the catalyst to thelearning process. This is not about blowing the whistle and putting out cones.This is about empowering through being present in every way for the youngpeople you are working with. Being a coach to young people is a true privilegein life and fulfilling in every way.
Let young people shape their own learning and be a keyco-pilot to them as they work towards achieving their goals.
At times particularly inrehabilitation settings, decision making re prescription decisions andmanagement of situations can be challenging. At times you need to be preparedto look super closely and analytically at a challenging problem. A highlydetailed microscopic approach isneeded!
In contrast in other situations onecan get too focussed on the detail and lost in minutia. In this instance beingable to 'zoom out' and take a more broad and telescopic approach helps a coach, find clarity and make excellentdecisions.
7) Can yourecommend any particular resources for youth sport coaches?
