[Question] Favorite Places to Eat?
We've been enough times that we know our favorites (of the places we've tried), but I have a feeling that we are missing out since we tend to kind of stick to our routine. So I was hoping to get some ideas by asking where do you like to eat while in the parks at Disneyland and DisneySea? Believe it or not, we've yet to eat at Queen of Hearts, so I know we will be adding that on this trip. Where else should we go?
Re: Favorite Places to Eat?
Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall--can't believe you haven't eaten there yet. Go on off hours: 10:30 to 11 am for lunch.
I love the Mickey Pizza at Huey, Dewey, and Louie's Good Time Cafe in ToonTown.
Blue Bayou is nice, but hard to get into and expensive. (Advice: without reservations, get on the standby line at 10:30 or 11 am and you'll get in after 20 minutes.) You can get a far better food at Ikspiari for the same price or less, but of course the ambience cannot be matched. The food is also much better than the Blue Bayou at Disneyland, which has really gone downhill in the past few years (though I have not tried the just-revamped menu).
I love gyoza, so the Nautilus Galley on the lower level of Mysterious Island is one of my favorites for lunch.
Ristorante di Canneletto at DisneySea also has good Italian food. Much better than Zampini Brothers.
I have not been to Magellan's at DisneySEA--too expensive.
You want to have a fantastic meal? Eat at Imahan in Ikspiari on the 4th floor in Chef's Row. Have Shabu-Shabu or Sukiyaki--they are famous for both. This is actually a branch of a much older restaurant in Tokyo. You will have never tasted beef of this quality.
I know, it's kind of crazy we haven't eaten there, yet. I think we just always kind of stumble back to that area of the park and either we've just eaten or the wait is crazy. But, I will insist we try it this time! It will actually be hubby's birthday while we are there, so I definitely want to get an Un-birthday cake. Which I believe is now the Anniversary cake. For his birthday. LOL.
Oh, but thank you for your post! This is exactly what I was wanting. And I don't think I knew there was a Mickey Pizza back in Toontown. That's a good one for all of us. I sometimes have a hard time getting my 5 year old to eat. She and her sister were actually born in Japan (military), but we left when she was 2.5 and she quickly got used to American food and when we went in December, I hate to admit I threw away a few plates that went almost untouched because she simply wouldn't eat. But, pizza? And mickey shaped pizza at that? Ding ding ding -- we have a winner!
I hope to try more place you suggested, particularly the Ristorante di Canneletto. We usually steer towards Sailing Day Buffet and Casbah Food Court at DisneySea, but I would love to experience something else.
Definitely queen of hearts - fantastc place & good food. In Disneyland I also like the pancake place in Adventureland.
In Disneysea try the restaurant in port discovery - really good food with a choice of character or regular dining. For something different there's also a nice taco place in the lost river delta.
i feel hungry already !!!!!
The restaurant in Port Discovery referred to above is call the Horizon Bay. Make sure you get on the correct line: one side is character dining--it usually has a line. The other side is non-character dining: no line.
We ate at Ariel's Grotto back in 2011 with the WOC package, and I was impressed! Can't say what it's like now. Also the French Market over in NOS had a delicious chicken dinner.
johnnylv: you're on the wrong continent! This discussion is about the Tokyo Disney Resort, not DCA.

The makers of PK have has finally launched the first song from PK yesterday in Delhi. The song is titled Tharki Chokro and features Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt. After a series of posters which shows Aamir Khan's curious and funny side, the first song also shows the same curious/alien avatar of Aamir Khan.
The song stars with funny conversation between Aamir and Sanjay. It is up to us to decide whether Aamir Khan is an alien or have some memory loss issues. He finds it difficult differentiating between man and woman and throughout the songs trying to hold the every woman that he met. Sanjay Dutt on the other hand is trying to get out of trouble this Tharki Chokro.
Aamir Khan sports same satrangi avatar while Sanjay Dutt dressed as traditional Rajasthani Bandwala. The song has pure Rajasthani feel and essence. Though the song is visually colorful but it fails as far as music is concerned.
Composed by Atul-Ajay and sung by Rajasthani singer Swaroop Khan, Tharki Chokro is an average number on music and beats.

Mostafa Mastoor was born in Sep. 11, 1964 in Ahvaz, 850 kilometers southwest of Tehran. He graduated as a civil engineer in 1988, followed by a masters' degree in Persian Literature.
Mastoor`s works, without exception, have been republished many times, and recently he has been elected as one of the ten most popular writers of the last 80 years of Iran Story Writing by a consensus carried out between students of eighteen Tehran universities. His works have been translated into many different languages and more than thirty university thesis presented on them.
He published his first short story in Kian Literature Philosophy Magazine in 1991. In 1998 he published his first work, a collection of his short stories, in a book called Love on Pavement. The book did not get good critiques but two years later, Nashre Markaz, a leading Iranian publisher, published Kiss the Loving Face of God, a novel by Mastoor, which immediately attracted the readers and the critics.
After the success of Kiss, the Loving Face of God, Mastoor published numerous works in various formats.
During these years, he won the Best Novel of the Year Award in the 2000 and 2001, The Golden Pen Prize for Kiss the Loving Face of God, and the Isfahan Literary Prize for Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands as the best novel of 2004. Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands had been previously nominated for Best Novel of the Year Award by the Association of Writers and Press Critics.
Mastoor's stories are straightforward, amazing, powerful, and influential. He is a full-fledged master of drama and human relationships, which seem normal by distance but Mastoor looks at them from an angle that we were unaware of it. His heroes have been chosen from the ordinary people. His stories focus on urban life and especially women's issues. Despite the bitter, cruel and, nettlesome spaces of his stories, they never black and hopeless, but they are merely dim or hopeless. But they are just sorrowful. There are many white characters who reduce the trustfulness of his stories. From Mastoor's point of view, women are making the world a safer and better place to live in. He writes in the simplest and sweetest possible way with a philosophical overview about fundamental and important issues such as God, justice, love, sickness, human suffering, life and death, and cleverly hides them behind his words and into his stories so that he can affect the audience without any complexity.
Mastoor uses various narrative styles in his work, employs innovative narrative techniques, and never restricts himself to just one technique. One of the unique features of Mastoor's work is the presence and repetition of the characters in his different books. By appearances in other stories and other situations, the stories of his characters become little by little. Readers, who actively follow Mastoor's works, enjoy following the fate of the characters, yet a reader who reads just one of his works for the first time never gets confused.
Besides storytelling, Mastoor also engages in the translating field. He played an important role in introducing Raymond Carver, a prominent American writer to Iranians.
Mastoor has published seven novels, six short story collections, two plays and two poetry collections so far.
Mastoor's work has been reprinted nearly 350 times in Iran so far, and to this day, more than 750,000 copies of his work have been sold in Iran.
Kiss the Loving Face of God (2000)
It is the most successful and popular fiction written by Mastoor, which has been reprinted 90 times by 2019 and has sold over 250,000 copies.
Does God really exist? If so, what are his characteristics? What effect does his existence (or nonexistence!) have on our today lives? Can his existence be affirmed or denied? These are just some of the questions arisen in the Kiss the Loving Face of God in the form of a twisted story. Younes, a former religious sociology doctoral student who seeks to discover the sociological causes of the suicide of a successful modern physics professor, is involved with the grueling question of whether or not God exists. On the verge of marrying a religious girl named Sayeh, he frightens his fiancée by his doubts about God and puts their marriage on the brink of collapse.
Kiss the Loving Face of God is a short, engaging, and compelling novel that can be read in one sitting but is full of existentialist questions about the meaning of life and the meaning of the world. To critics, this novel is one of Mastoor's most successful works. Several Iranian filmmakers have suggested the author an adaptation of the book, but Mastoor has refused to let any film be made based on his work.
So far, Kiss the Loving Face of God has been translated and published in Turkish, Indonesian, Russian, Bosnian, Arabic, Bengali, and Azerbaijani languages.
Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands (2004)
Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands is a compact narrative of the life of seven inhabitants of a residential tower in the heart of Tehran: a semi-crazy young man, yet a philosopher living with his mother; an educated couple who are deeply saddened by cancer of their young son; a prostitute falling in love with one of her clients who is a poet; a dreaded gang of professional killers; a journalist on the verge of separating from his husband; a photographer who falls in love with a girl who resembles his fiancé, faces a morally difficult situation over choosing one of them; and a group of youth who face an unwanted and difficult situation after a party, when one of the girls becomes pregnant.
In this short novel, which is considered by many to be Mastoor's most cinematic work, Mastoor narrates a multitude of characters and stories. Without knowing the problems or even knowing each other, the characters of the story pass by in the street, the residential complex, or the elevator, and this is the only reader who knows their story like a god outside the characters' lives.
Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands is one of the most important works of contemporary Iranian literature that has been reprinted 34 times and sold more than 100,000 copies in Iran. The novel has been translated into Italian, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Bosnian, and Azerbaijani languages. The author has repeatedly rejected a proposal for a cinematic adaptation of this work.
I'm not a sparrow (2009)
I am not a sparrow is a collection of characters who seem to be unable to adapt themselves to ordinary life and are therefore they're kept in a place like a mental sanctuary. Some of the characters of Mastoor's novels are featured in this story. This sanatorium, which is not like any real sanatorium, is managed by a powerful person named Koohi. From the Koohi's perspective, his patients are mired in deep wells called death, darkness, love, and questions. With his intriguing concise and compelling narrative, Mastoor brings an illusory and unknown situation close to the audience.
I Am Not a Sparrow became the best-selling book of the Tehran International Book Fair in its first year of publication and was nominated for the Jalal Al-Ahmad State Prize for Best Novel of the Year, worth $ 80,000, but due to the violent events followed by Presidential elections, Mastoor withdrew his nomination. I am not a Sparrow, which has been reprinted more than 20, and 50,000 copies of it have been sold, is still one of the best-selling books in contemporary Iranian literature. This work has been translated and published in Egypt and Azerbaijan.
Three short reports on Navid and Negar (2012)
Three short reports on Navid and Negar starts with the first-person narration of Navid, a brother who lost his sister. After a few chapters, suddenly and surprisingly, the narrative of the story deposed to Negar, the lost sister of Navid. This back and forth continues until the very end of the novel. Negar is one of the characters of Pig's Bone and Leper's Hands, whom we see other parts of her life in this story. In Navid's narrative, he explores Tehran in search of his sister, reporting the overlooked corners of the city to the reader. In Negar narration, we come across the hidden and sometimes dreaded face of Tehran from the perspective of a young girl. The novel thus is an exploration of today's Iranian society, reported from Navid's existentialist and Negar's feminist perspective. In addition to Navid and Negar, the novel has a third narrator named the author, who appears in the footnotes of the novel to comment on the characters of the story. Three short reports on Navid and Negar have been reprinted 14 times in Iran, have sold nearly 25,000 copies, and have been translated into Turkish, Arabic and Italian.
A Treatise on Nader Farabi (2015)
Nader Farabi had previously appeared in a short scene of the Three Short Reports on Navid and Negar, and in a footnote, the author promised that he would later tell the Nader Farabi's story in an independent book. A Treatise on Nader Farabi is the promised story. The novel is a diverse mix of fictional, research, and memoir narratives about an imaginary songwriter named Nader Farabi presented in a postmodern setting. In terms of narrative structure, the novel is deeply avant-garde, and in this respect, it differs from Mastoor's other stories. In an interview, Mahmoud Dolatabadi, the most famous Iranian living writer, compares the form of this work with works of writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Akutagawa.
This book has been reprinted six times and has sold over 10,000 copies so far.
Love and Other Things (2018)
Can love alone save us from the suffering of life? Or do we need something else to reach happiness? Is love itself a barrier to happiness?
Focusing on its three main characters, the Love and Other Things is a story of the tendencies and efforts of today's generation of Iranian society to achieve peace and happiness. Hani, an Ahwazi student, prefers to stay in Tehran after graduating from Tehran University because he thinks there are always three important reasons to live in Tehran: good money, great foods and beautiful girls. Hani that lives in the basement of a house with two other young men falls in love with a girl named Sayeh. In addition to Hani, the novel also addresses the life of his two other roommates: Karim Joojoo, who is very serious about business and money, and a mysterious boy named Murad Serme, who talks to cats and has deep mystical tendencies.
The book was released in February 2008 and formed one of the longest buyers queues at the bookstore. Love and Other Things has been reprinted 13 times, sold more than 20,000 copies, and translated into Italian.
The InnoSence (2019)
The InnoSence is the most recent novel of Mastoor, which all its 4,000 copies of its first print sold in five days.
The novel is told by a young and talented radio playwriter named Maziar. Maziar, who had to quit school and work in a carwash due to family problems, is unable to spell words correctly because of a mental disorder. Therefore, the novel is full of misspellings and even the Persian title of the book is misspelled. It is as if the author wants to deny the accepted definitions of the words by misspelling them.
The InnoSence is the story of the relationship between four young men and women in today's Tehran urban life. Howbeit, because the narrator has to write a play about an anonymous fictional Sufi who lived in Neyshabur – a city in northeastern Iran – seven hundred years ago, the adventures of the novel are tied to the Sufi's life.
The novel was soon reprinted three times and sold over 8,000 copies so far.
Mestoor has published 45 different short stories from 1992 to 2017 in the form of six different short story collections:
Love on Pavement (1998)
Several Authentic Narratives (2004)
I'm the Omniscient (2004)
The Story of a Love without L, O, V, and E (2006)
Tehran at Evening (2010)
The Best Possible Way (2016)
These collections were reprinted nearly 120 times and sold 250,000 copies in total. Some of them were translated into Turkish, Arabic, and Swedish.
In 2017, at the suggestion of the author, all his short stories were published in one book named Under a Glimmer with four categories of Childhood, Life, Love and Death.
In addition to the short story and the novel, Mastoor has also published two short plays: Running in the Dark Minefield (2006), about a strange sanctuary with characters we have previously seen in the I'm not a Sparrow. The second play, named Walking on the Moon (2018), is a story of four simple but painful situations that take place on four tables in a café and reflect the complex conditions of today's Iranian society.
So far, Mastoor has published two small poetry collections named And Your Hands Smell Like light (2011), and The Neighbor's Cat (2017). His poems sometimes have a narrative and philosophical perspective. In 2018, And Your Hands Smell Like Light has been translated into Arabic and published in Egypt.

London – 1 February 2019 – Amundi ETF announces the expansion of its Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) ETF range with the launch of Amundi Index MSCI Emerging Markets SRI – UCITS ETF DR.
With ongoing charges of only 0.25%, this is the cheapest ETF on the European market tracking the MSCI Emerging Markets SRI index.
Investors are increasingly taking account of ESG considerations in their portfolio allocation decisions, and there is a rising appetite for ready-to-use responsible investment solutions, which also minimize the level of tracking error.
This launch adds to Amundi ETF's SRI range, which already includes three equity ETFs exposed to the MSCI Europe SRI, MSCI USA SRI and MSCI World SRI indices, and two fixed income ETFs tracking Euro and US corporate bond SRI indices.
^  Ongoing charges - annual, all taxes included. For Amundi ETF funds, the ongoing charges correspond to the Total Expense Ratio. The ongoing charges represent the charges taken from the fund over a year. When the fund has not closed its accounts for the first time, the ongoing charges are estimated. It compares the annual total management and operating costs (all taxes included) charged to a fund against the value of that fund's assets. Transaction cost and commissions may occur when trading ETFs.


My book came from ideas I jotted down and then looked to see which I could take further.
In my theme NOTHING NEW it was a realisation that we still do so many things that have been done for hundreds of years and that things still happen as they have always done albeit in different ways.
There's nothing new only variations on the old.
... Thank you for sharing your beautiful book. Very inspiring insights. Humor and color.


Construction on the Camperdown apartments is in motion - here's a breakdown of the timeline for the rest of the work at the downtown development.
Construction is underway on the new downtown apartments at the Camperdown development in downtown Greenville, and the next phases of the project will be starting soon.
Work on the AC Hotel planned at the corner of East Broad and South Main streets will begin in August, said Brody Glenn, president of Centennial American Properties, the developer behind the Camperdown project.
The AC Hotel, part of the Marriott corporation, will have 170 rooms and 14 luxury suites and will face the Peace Center.
It will rise on the site of the former Greenville News building, and, in a nod to that history, plans to have journalism references in many of its common areas.
Greenville-based Auro Hotels is the developer behind that project, and company president DJ Rama previously said the hotel would take about 18 months to build.
Construction of a 15-story office and condo tower, just down from the hotel on South Main Street and near the edge of Falls Park, is slated to begin in early October, Glenn said.
One of the office building's tenants will be Bank of America, the company announced this week. It signed a long-term lease starting in early 2020 for approximately 32,000 square feet in the new building. The bank will vacate its current downtown offices in its namesake building at 101 North Main St.
Glenn did respond to a follow-up question on when other tenants would be announced for the Camperdown development.
At full build-out, the 4-acre site will also feature a central plaza surrounded by the apartments, hotel and office tower. Centennial American Properties purchased the property from The Greenville News in late 2015 for $13.25 million.
The entire Camperdown project is on track to be completed by late 2019, Glenn said.


The Capitals and Penguins rivalry is heating up. Kinda. Sorta. Not really.
Wednesday, two days after the Penguins lost Sidney Crosby to a concussion, Penguins forward Phil Kessel called Jay Beagle an "idiot" for comments he didn't actually make about the Matt Niskanen hit.
This is very confusing. I will explain.
"Yeah, well, if he thinks that's clean, he's an idiot," Kessel responded.
The quote the reporter was pulling from was a conversation Beagle had with the press on Tuesday morning at the Capitals' hotel. Beagle was asked if he expected the nastiness from Game Two to spill over. He was not speaking about the Niskanen hit.
Wednesday afternoon, reporters informed Beagle about Kessel's "idiot" comment. "Ouch," Beagle said before adding they could settle their differences over Mario Kart.
Kessel said if you think that was a clean hit, you're an idiot.
What do you think of him calling you an idiot?
So in conclusion, this beef is about nothing and is all a big misunderstanding. But if the two do play Mario Kart, Beagle is Toad and Kessel is Wario and these are the only options.

Body of Christ: Kimberley Bayer, Sacred Heart Croatian Parish, MilwaukeeRead Time 7 min
By Colleen Jurkiewicz|2022-01-11T08:06:52-06:00Jan 11, 2022|Body of Christ, Columns|
What kind of work do you take on in your law practice?
I'm a solo practitioner, and I have a few private pay clients, but the vast majority of what I do is contract work for the public defender's office. People who are eligible for the public defender get a free lawyer no matter what, and about two-thirds of those cases are handled by staff attorneys who are employed by the state. About another third will go to private counsel, which is what I do.
Did you ever think you would be doing public defense work?
Growing up in Sheboygan, I got the idea from cop shows and the news, and the way people talked, that the prosecutors are the good guys and the defense attorneys are a necessary evil in the system — why do we really spend money giving bad people a defense? Once I started doing it, that thought went away very quickly. You realize there is this entire system in place to process huge numbers of people through a system that really only has jail time as a possible penalty for all kinds of problems. It's this machine and it really grinds up pretty much anyone who gets caught up in it, but it tends to catch up most often with people who are on the margins in some way.
What do you love about this work?
There's something about just sitting down with someone who is in trouble, and getting to know them and being on their side, and not having to worry about anything else other than them. It's such a privilege. I've always been a scrappy person. I like to argue. I hate bullies and I hate injustice, and there are so many opportunities to fight for people. People always have dignity and there is always a way that dignity is not being properly served. And even when you don't win a case, people are so grateful. It really can change their whole perspective, just knowing there is someone in their corner.
Has this work led you to any insights about your faith life?
I work with a lot of Spanish-speaking clients, and the Spanish word for lawyer is "abogada." One of the titles for Our Lady in Spanish is "nuestra abogada" — "our advocate." So actually, the Virgin Mary is a lawyer, if you think about it. When we're being judged, whatever we've done, she's going to plead with her son to forgive us.
What made you want to pursue a theology degree through the Cor Unum program?
I knew someone who taught in the program, and my friend Bill Lipscomb recommended it, so I applied. It was super affordable and a cool model. I loved every minute of it and I got so much out of it. I learned so much and I deepened my faith. I learned to think in a more abstract and philosophical way. When I went back to practicing law, I realized my way of expressing myself was more clear. I could hone in on issues and explain abstract topics better.
How did you and Matt meet?
I met him the very first time I walked into the St. Paul's Catholic Student Center on the UW-Madison campus. He was the long-haired, guitar-playing, praise-and-worship music guy. I was like, "No, thank you. Why are they making us sing?" Two years later, we got married.
I do normal mom stuff; I love to go to the library, and I love to cook. I love making birthday cakes; each birthday, my kid will request something ridiculous and I try to honor it. I've done the crab from "Moana." Most recently, I did a narwhal for my 3-year-old. I'm very amateur — it's just supposed to taste good. But my kids are always very grateful, just like my clients.

Welcome - Tuesday, January 21, 2020
Dear Generous Donator,
I was fortunate enough to receive the Justin Keele Make a Difference award in the spring of 2008. As senior at Eureka Senior High School, I formed a senior project to paint a vocational-career technical education mural across from the stadium at Eureka High. I wanted the mural to celebrate the achievements of the past and sustainability of the future representing Humboldt County industry and, the importance of vocational education. Career technical education is something I truly value from my experience at Eureka High School and I wanted to convey this message to the community.
The senior project taught me how to work well with adults, make deadlines, organize other people and remain organized myself. I began this process by forming a plan and creating a design for the mural and submitting a grant application to the Justin Keele Make a Difference Award. I worked diligently to receive approval from the volunteer committee and the Eureka City School Board, including attending meetings and creating an information packet about the mural. Once approval was obtained we purchased the materials and began the project.
The other students involved Kelly Kovacovich, Teal Moore, Jacob Spencer, Henry Hoff and Brandon Brockoff also gained much from the experience. Volunteers for the project were able to complete their service learning hour requirement, the Eureka High School Agriculture Pathway or senior project credit. We truly worked as a team creatively and artistically. Some of us contributed more to the construction, some to the organization and some to the painting. Overall, we shared our knowledge and skill learning from each other. Unfortunately we have lost our dear friend Jake Spencer since the painting of the mural, in this way the mural will also provide remembrance of him as a great person and friend.
Mr. David Stevens, the Eureka High School Woodshop teacher, was absolutely essential in advising and completing the project. I would also like to thank Mr. Jim Smith and Mrs. Sandy Lovfald the Eureka High School Agriculture teachers and Eureka FFA advisors for their influential assistance in the project. I would like to thank those on the Eureka City School Board for their time in hearing my presentation and for their approval. A big thank you must also go out to Mr. Dean Beck and Mr. Steve Lovfald for completing the task I could not do, of hanging the mural, completing the project.
The Justin Keele Make a Difference Award funded the project, thus the experience for those contributors, volunteers and the resulting mural. I am thankful for the award and the opportunity. The Justin Keele Make A Difference Award is truly a kind project and follows through on its philosophy of "paying it forward".
The finished mural was on display at the 2008 EHS graduation and received a Best of Show Award from the 2008 Redwood Acres and Humboldt County Fair. On July 3rd, 2010 it was finally able to be hung on the exterior of the Agriculture Department building on Del Norte Street facing Albee Stadium. The establishment on the wall was a few years behind schedule, but finally, safe, secure and serving as a piece of art to share in the community.
Please take time to observe the mural and know we are truly thankful for the efforts of all who contributed, and, very thankful for the award. I hope this mural will supply pride, remembrance, and beauty for the community, visitors, student population and Eureka.

I hope this testimonial makes it through. I wrote one about 3 weeks ago and it seems to have slipped through somewhere!
I am so honored, as are the seniors in the first graduating AVID class at Eureka High School, to be one of the first recipients of the Justin Keele Make a Difference Award. The award alone is beautiful, but to have known Justin and to understand fully the depth of the meaning of this award adds a magnificence that is somewhat overwhelming.
Having worked with Justin closely in matters of leadership at EHS, I know that he would be really proud of the AVID Honoring Ceremony that took place at the Morris Graves Museum in part due to the contribution of some of the funds from his foundation. He would have smiled that big Justin smile and added some incredible magic touch to the whole thing to make it seem like it was "extra-special" - he had that way about him!! He would have approved and deighted in the outcome.
This AVID class, being the very first to graduate from EHS, is extra special in that they have set the bar for those who follow in their footsteps. They have shown to many other students like them that it is possible to go to college even if you don't have the financial means, the support at home, or didn't have access to information that would lead you there. All of these graduates (21) will go out and contribute to their worlds and carry forth one of Justin's goals -"To leave the world a bit better".
I am deeply honored to have known Justin and to be included in the first distribution of his fund. I am a proud torch carrier for the spirit of Justin. I am blessed.

Q: Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined at angular-moment.js I've been sitting with this problem about an hour, I'm not sure what went wrong. I've been looking this question at stackoverflow, but nothing can help me. I tried to putting Moment js in my project.

*

*Refer to this link (https://github.com/urish/angular-moment)

*Already follow the instruction.

*Got error: angular is not defined at angular-moment.js:630.

This is my code:
index.html
<!-- moment extension -->
    <script src="lib/moment/moment.js"></script>
    <script src="lib/angular-moment/angular-moment.js"></script>

    <!-- ionic/angularjs js -->

Javascript
angular.module('starter.controller', ['ionic', 'ionic-timepicker', 'angularMoment'])
.controller('checkoutOrderCtrl', function ($scope, moment) {

        $rootScope.date = NowMoment.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
        $rootScope.time = NowMoment.format('h:mm:ss');
}

Thanks for help.

A: You need to place angular-moment.js after angular.js file:
<script src="angular.min.js"></script>
<!-- moment extension -->
<script src="lib/moment/moment.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular-moment/angular-moment.js"></script>

Best Case Study for Declining Populations? South Korea
South Korea is the world's first country to have a total fertility rate below 1 (in 2019, it dropped to 0.98). It may not be the largest population of the 86 declining populations (114 countries have TFRs above replacement level), but it makes for an incredibly important case-study to explore emerging demographic patterns because in the coming years, it probably won't be the only country with a TFR below 1.
Population pyramid from the National Atlas of Korea
South Korean governments at multiple levels have implemented some pro-natalist policies (tax-benefits, cash incentives, maternity leave, paternity leave, etc.), and the TFR continues to drop. The economic reasons for this demographic decline make it a textbook example of a highly-developed economy where raising children is very expensive in a post-industrial, overwhelmingly urban context. However, I think more time should be spend investigating the cultural patterns that led more and more young adults to either postpone child-rearing or skip it all together. In South Korea, as in other countries, marriages are becoming more infrequent, but the social stigma associated with raising a child out of wedlock remains very strong (only 2% of births are to unwedded mothers). Many women returning to the workforce find that child-care options are limited they struggle to find the same wages that they had before they started a family. Even before without children though, women in South Korea are confronted with the highest gender wage gap among OECD countries. As reported in the WSJ, "South Korea has a strong economy, fast internet—and a big gender gap." Korean work culture expects long hours, after hours social gatherings, and other practices that make it difficult to workers, but especially women, to find a manageable balance between having a career and a family. Many corporations are reluctant to hire/promote/mentor women that might conceivably conceive and leave the company.
South Korea's declining fertility rates (source).
Today, many Korean families see having no children as the only way to survive/improve their quality on life given the economic and cultural context within which they are operating. The government has been pouring millions of dollars to reverse this pattern but the fertility rate continues to drop. The video below gives an introduction to the issue.
This video provides a more in-depth look into the issue (turn on the closed captioning)

The changing face of Japan: labour shortage opens doors to immigrant workers
Japan – once one of the world's most homogenous societies – is starting to unwind its traditional opposition to large-scale immigration
Japan is one of the closest examples of a nation-state. And like Iceland, that is in part because the ocean historically has acted as a massive barrier to cultural diffusion and migration. Today though, modern transportation makes that barrier negligible. Cultural attitudes have continued to not favor international immigration but their declining population has forced a change towards the end of 2018 (see any of theses five articles from Washington Post, Japanese Times, Nippon.com, the Guardian, and the Diplomat).
Japan has traditionally been one on the countries most opposed to allowing large number of migrants into their country. The administration is still presenting themselves as tough on immigration; the 2018 policy change will allow semi-skilled workers to enter Japan for 5 years, but they cannot bring their family members with them, and they still must pass a Japanese-language exam. These shifts are not an abandonment of policies that seek to preserve cultural homogeneity, but they are also an acknowledgement of the demographic realities and struggles of a declining population.
Until 2018, Japanese policy only highly-skilled migrants were allowed in to Japan, with advantages given to those with Japanese ancestry. However, these stringent migration policies coupled with Japan's declining birth rates meant that Japan's population was declining substantially enough to negatively impact their economy. There were foreign workers filling in the gaps, but only 20% of those workers had functioning work visas under the old prohibitive system. This new policy is primarily aimed at replacing workers in sectors that are facing severe labor shortages, that are being classified as "semi-skilled workers." The law is trying to walk a fine line, trying to bring in more workers to Japan while simultaneously making it very difficult still trying to make it very tough for these workers to settle permanently in Japan. This will have a significant impact on Japanese society, and in the near future, it's cultural institutions.

Japan forces a harsh choice on children of migrant families
Born in Japan, Gursewak Singh considers himself Japanese. The government doesn't. But it offers children like him a chance to stay – if their parents leave.
Gursewak's parents, who are Sikhs, fled to Japan from India in the 1990s. For several years, they lived without visas under the radar of the authorities until they were put on a status known as "provisional release" in 2001. It means they can stay in Japan as long as their asylum application is under review. While there were almost 14,000 asylum cases under review at the end of 2015, Japan accepted only 27 refugees last year. The year before that, the number was 11.
The low acceptance rate stands in stark contrast to Europe, which has seen hundreds of thousands of refugees arrive from countries such as Iraq, Syria and Eritrea. In the first half of the year, European countries ruled on 495,000 asylum applications, approving more than 293,000.

"Facing a low fertility rate (1.4), Italy is holding its first 'Fertility Day' on Sept. 22, which will emphasize 'the beauty of motherhood and fatherhood' and host roundtable discussions on fertility and reproductive health. That may seem inoffensive, but the country's health department is trying to raise awareness with an ad campaign that's striking many as misguided and, worse, sexist and alarmist."
Source: www.cbsnews.com
This pro-natalist campaign designed by the health ministry has received near universal criticism (in an attempt to see other perspectives, I searched for a more positive or even neutral article on the topic and came up empty-handed). Italy's Prime Minister openly scoffed at the premise of the campaign, and many pundits argue that it shames and pressures women into thinking about personal choices of childbearing as if they were communal responsibilities. Unlike the infamous 'Do it For Denmark' advertisements that were filled with playful innuendos, or Singapore's 'Maybe Baby' which highlights the joys of parenthood, this one has more overtones of duty and plays on fear more than those other pro-natalist campaigns.

Fertility Rates-Differences Within Countries
"An important aspect about country level data of fertility to keep in mind is that there can be considerable heterogeneity within countries, which are hidden in the mean fertility which were discussed in this entry. The mean Total Fertility Rate for India in 2010 was 2.8 (UN Data): But this average hides the fact that the fertility in many Southern Indian regions was below 1.5 (which is similar to the mean fertility in many European countries), while the fertility in Northern India was still higher than 5 children per woman (which is as high as the mean of the African countries with the highest fertility)."
Source: ourworldindata.org
This is a stunning example of uneven development and regional differences within countries. Too often we discuss countries as if the situation inside the borders of one country is the same throughout it, even if the geographic contexts can be wildly different.
Questions to Ponder: Why are the fertility rates in so different in northern and southern India? How does this regional imbalance impact the country? What are other examples of major differences within a country?

Furious George: My Forty Years Surviving NBA Divas, Clueless GMs, and Poor Shot Selection is an autobiography by former professional basketball coach and former player George Karl, and co-author Curt Sampson. It is Karl's debut as an author.

Synopsis
Karl's memoir spans his career playing and coaching in the NBA, including his time as head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Denver Nuggets, but does not include his last two years as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. Early versions of the manuscript did include critical commentary of Karl's time in Sacramento, but those pages were not authorized for inclusion in the book due to Karl's settlement agreement with the Kings. The book includes two chapters dedicated to Karl's Seattle years, with particular emphasis on his relationship with Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and General Manager Wally Walker. Karl also explains how he almost traded Shawn Kemp for Scottie Pippen in 1994, but was unable to execute the trade due to salary cap reasons.

Furious George includes anecdotes from dozens of NBA players and coaches including Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson and others.

Release and reception
Furious George was scheduled for its release on January 10, 2017, but excerpts from the book, which caused significant controversy among media members and former NBA players,  leaked two weeks before that publication. The controversy stemmed from Karl's remarks about fatherhood among some NBA players, specifically his claims that Carmelo Anthony and Kenyon Martin "carried two big burdens" because they had "all that money and no father to show them how to act like a man." Karl was also critical of J.R. Smith, claiming  he had "a huge sense of entitlement, a distracting posse, his eye always on the next contract and some really unbelievable shot selection." Howard Bryant was critical of Karl's comments in the book and wrote, "Karl...offers a glimpse into the minds of the coaches who are intolerant of players, their upbringing and, obviously, their power. If that is the father figure, maybe it's better not to have one."

In the book, Karl also claimed that players used steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. Commissioner of the NBA Adam Silver later responded to Karl's allegations saying, "I have no reason to believe whatsoever that we have an issue, either as the result of testing or as the result of other information that comes to the league office."

Karl has expressed regret for how the controversial sections of the book were written and apologized for his comments in Furious George. He added that he didn't write anything in the book that he hadn't said players' faces.

Basketball Insiders described the memoir as "outspoken and raw." The Denver Post reviewed the book favorably, adding, "George is furious, but he's just as introspective." One review of Furious George noted that while Karl was critical of several former players and others he had crossed paths with, he was also critical of himself, stating, "The most compelling part of the book is when Karl tackles Karl. He is unsparing here, too."

The book has also been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone and others.

Nigeria is situated in the West African region and lies between longitudes 3 degrees and 14 degrees and latitudes 4 degrees and 140 degrees. It has a land mass of 923,768 sq.km.. It is bordered to the north by the Republics of Niger and Tchad. It shares borders to the west with the Republic of Benin, while the Republic of Cameroun shares the eastern borders right down to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean which forms the southern limits of Nigerian Territory. The about 800km of coastline confers on the country the potentials of a maritime power. Land is in abundance in Nigeria for agricultural, industrial and commercial activities.
Temperatures across the country is relatively high with a very narrow variation in seasonal and diurnal ranges (22-36t). There are two basic seasons; wet season which lasts from April to October; and the dry season which lasts from November till March. The dry season commences with Harmattan, a dry chilly spell that lasts till February and is associated with lower temperatures, a dusty and hazy atmosphere brought about by the North-Easterly winds blowing from the Arabian peninsular across the Sahara; the second half of the dry season, February - March, is the hottest period of the year when temperatures range from 33 to 38 degrees centigrade. The extremes of the wet season are felt on the southeastern coast where annual rainfall might reach a high of 330cm; while the extremes of the dry season, in aridity and high temperatures, are felt in the north third of the country.
In line with the rainfall distribution, a wetter south and a drier northern half, there are two broad vegetation types: Forests and Savanna. There are three variants of each, running as near parallel bands east to west across the country. Forests Savanna Saline water swamp Guinea Savanna Fresh water swamp Sudan Savanna Tropical (high) evergreen Sahel Savanna
There is also the mountain vegetation of the isolated high plateau regions on the far eastern extremes of the country (Jos, Mambilla, Obudu).
The savanna, especially Guinea and Sudan, are the major grains, grasses, tubers, vegetable and cotton growing regions.
The Tropical evergreen rain forest belt bears timber production and forest development, production of cassava; and plantation growing of fruit trees - citrus, oil palm, cocoa, rubber, among others.
POPULATION & LABOUR FORCE
Nigeria is famous for her huge population of about 120 million people - the largest national population on the African continent. This population is made up of about 374 pure ethnic stocks. Three of them, Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba are the major groups and constitute over 40 per cent of the population. In fact, about 10 ethnic linguistic groups constitute more than 80% of the population: the other large groups are Tiv, Ibibio, Ijaw, Kanuri, Nupe, Gwari, Igala, Jukun, Idoma, Fulani, Edo, Urhobo and Ijaw. The gender divide of Nigeria's population, as indicated by the last census in 1991, reflects an unusual inbalance in favour of male dominance; 51% male: 49% female.
However, the more critical population indices concern
High growth rate - 3.2%; this is affected by decreased infant mortality and high fertility.
High school age population - over 47% are 15 years and below
High child dependency ratio - one dependant to one worker for the working age group 25-65.
Large work force - working age group 15-59 is over 40 per cent of the population.
Due to a massive expansion in the education sector in the last two decades, the coloration and quality of the Nigerian work force has changed to include a large corps of highly trained personnel in mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, chemical and petroleum engineering and biotechnics. There are at present over 30 Federal and State Universities, some of them specialist -Technology and Agriculture. In addition there are at least 20 Federal and State Polytechnics. Over 70,000 graduates in various disciplines from these institutions every year. Disciplines, apart from pure sciences, engineering and technologies, include social sciences, business studies (management, banking and finance), architecture, environment and urban management studies. Also, a sizeable Nigerian population has been and is being trained outside the country, in some of the best colleges in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, Japan and China.
Every year, about 2,000 of these Nigerians return home to seek employment or accommodation within the economy.
For the less skilled and unskilled labour, the country depends on the primary and secondary school systems whose annual enrolments are over 3.5 million and 1.5 million, respectively.
RESOURCES: AGRICULTURAL, MINERAL AND MARINE
Nigeria, in addition to its huge population is endowed with significant agricultural, mineral, marine and forest resources. Its multiple vegetation zones, plentiful rain, surface water and underground water resources and moderate climatic extremes, allow for production of diverse food and cash crops. Over 60 per cent of the population is involved in the production of the food crops such as cassava, maize, rice, yams, various beans and legumes, soya, sorghum, ginger, onions, tomatoes, melons and vegetable. The main cash crops are cocoa, cotton, groundnuts, oil palm and rubber. Extractions from these for export and local industrial use include cocoa flour and butter, rubber crumb, vegetable oil, cotton fibre and yarn. The rain forests have been well exploited for timber and wood products of exotic and popular species.
Oil and Gas, by value, are the most important minerals. They are exploited and produced in the Niger Delta basin and off-shore on the continental shelf and in the deep-sea of the territorial waters. Nevertheless, there are significant non-oil mineral deposits on land many of which have been identified and evaluated: coal, iron ore, gypsum, kaolin, phosphates, lime -stone, marble, columbine, baryte and gold.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria consists of thirty-six states, and the administrative headquarters and capital city is Abuja located in the Federal Capital Territory, which is geographically situated in the middle of the country.
Effective participation in governance by all adults is assured through the sharing of powers, revenue and responsibilities between the three tiers of government, i.e. the Federal Government, the State Governments and the various Local and Municipal Councils of the federation.
With a population of over 120 million people, Nigeria is obviously the largest market in sub Saharan Africa with reasonably skilled and potential manpower for the efficient and effective management of investment projects within the country. It is well connected by a wide network of motorable all-season roads, railway tracks, inland waterways, maritime and air transportation.
Nigeria's economy could be aptly described as most promising. It is a mixed economy and accommodates all corners, individuals, corporate organisations and government agencies, to invest in almost all range of economic activities. Since 1995, the Government has introduced some bold economic measures, which have had a salutary effect on the economy by halting the declining growth in the productive sectors and putting a stop to galloping inflation; they have reduced the debt burden, stabilised the exchange rate of the Naira and corrected the balance of payments disequilibrium.
In the 1995 and 1996 budgets, Government put in place some fiscal measures, which addressed the exchange rate regime and the capital flight issue, which hitherto inhibited project planning and execution. The policy of expanded production through guided deregulation paid off in 1996 when the economy recorded a real growth of 3.2% of GDP The rate of inflation declined appreciably from the high seventies to the low twenties.
Prior to 1999, the major problem of the health sector in Nigeria was identified to be the mortality rate among women and children due to preventable diseases, undernourishment, communication of under five years, as well as inadequate and decaying health facilities. These problems were further compounded, over the years, by inadequate funding, due to competing needs of other sectors such as education, housing, agriculture etc.
However, the Obasanjo Administration rose to the occasion to stem the tide. The National Program on Immunization was established to take care of the high mortality rate among children, and eradicate communicable and vaccine-preventable diseases, and it has been highly successful. Specific days of the year have been set aside by the Government, during which health officials go from house to house to immunize children against major childhood diseases. Moreover, the immunizations are readily available at various hospitals and health centers, at no cost to parents. The Government is being assisted in this regard by many Non-Governmental Organizations and International Agencies. The Rotary International, for example has committed millions of dollars to the project known as "Kick Polio out of Africa" campaign, the positive result of which has been tremendous.
Other measures the Government has taken to enhance the quality of health of Nigerians are the establishment of the National Action Committee on Aids (NACA) to combat the HIV/AIDS scourge, the National Foods and Drugs Administration Commission (NAFDAC) which has brought international recognition to Nigeria. The Government has equally set up the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) which is designed to make health-care affordable for all citizens by making everyone contribute to the healthcare system, instead of putting the whole burden on Government, as it is the case currently. The scheme will soon be operational.
To sustain improvements in health-care delivery, attention is being paid to the expansion and strengthening of the primary health care system throughout the country. Family and reproductive health services are being strengthened, with particular emphasis on fighting HIV/AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases, as well as malaria. Rehabilitation of strategic Teaching and Specialist Hospitals are also on-going.
MAIN THRUST OF NIGERIA'S TRADE AND INDUSTRIALISATION POLICY
Nigeria's current industrial policy thrust is anchored on a guided dc-regulation of the economy and Government's dis-engagement from activities which are private-sector oriented, leaving Government to play the role of facilitator, concentrating on the provision of incentives policy and infrastructure that are necessary to enhance the private sector's role as the engine of growth. The industrial policy is intended to:
generate productive employment and raise productivity;
increase export of locally manufactured goods;
create a wider geographical dispersal of industries;
improve the technological skills and capability available in the country;
increase the local content of industrial output by looking inward for the supply of basic and intermediate inputs;
attract direct foreign investment;
increase private sector participation.
The Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Acts which hitherto regulated the extent and limits of foreign participation in diverse sectors of the economy were repealed in 1995. The principal laws regulating foreign investments now are, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission Decree and the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Decree, both enacted in 1995.
Given the need to stabilize the banking and finance sectors, and promote confidence in these vital institutions, the Failed Banks (Recovery of Debts) and Financial Malpractices in Banks decrees of 1994 were put in place. The Investment and Securities Decree was also promulgated to update and consolidate capital market laws and regulations into a single code.
Under the Privatisation and Commercialisation law of 1988, the government successfully sold its holdings in industrial enterprises and financial institutions, and such divestments were made by way of "Offers for Sale" on the floors of the Exchange, so that ultimate shareholdings in such enterprises could be widespread. However, government retained full control of the public utility service corporations.
The 1997 Budget proposed the repeal of all existing laws that inhibit competition in certain sectors of the Nigeria economy. Consequently, with the promulgation of the Public Enterprises Promotion and Commercialisation Decree in 1998, private sector investors (including non-Nigerians) will now be free to participate in and compete with government-owned public utility service corporations in the areas of telecommunications, electricity generation, exploration of petroleum, export refineries, coal and bitumen exploration, hotel and tourism.
As a policy objective, the liberalization and deregulation of the exchange control regime is designed to facilitate and enhance trading activities. Items on the import prohibition list have been drastically reduced, with government opting to utilise tariff structures to protect end-user product pricing of local industries and discourage frivolous imports. In 1998, the import prohibition list was reduced to 11 items namely: maize, sorghum, millet, wheat flour, vegetable oils (excluding linseed and castor oils used as industrial raw materials), barytes and bentonites, gypsum, mosquito repellent coils, domestic articles and wares made of plastic materials (excluding babies' feeding bottles), retreaded / used tyres, gaming machines.
