Devon choirs record charity single for dementia

Read more from Tony Gussin
Updated: Tuesday, March 26, 2019 (17:01)
The DyNaMix and Rhythm of Life choirs have recorded a charity single with choir director Jax Gibbins for Alzheimer's Society.
Two Devon-based rock and pop choirs have united to produce a single in a bid to raise money for charity.
A total of 90 singers from rock and pop choirs DyNaMix, based in Barnstaple, and the Exeter-based Rhythm of Life Choir travelled 300 miles to a studio in Swindon to record an original song, When We Stand Together.
All proceeds of the single, written and produced by choir director Jax Gibbins will be donated to Alzheimer's Society.
Jax said: "When the initial idea for a charity single came up last year, I never dreamed it would end up being one of the most humbling and memorable musical experiences of my life.
"What started out as just a lovely idea grew into this show of strength and unity against dementia and a feeling amongst us all that we were creating something very special.
"Several members of the choir have been personally affected by the devastating effects of Alzheimer's and we all feel strongly that we want to help in our own small way to confront this terrible disease, which is the UK's biggest killer and the only one we can't cure, prevent or even slowdown. I am so proud of what we achieved and hope the people of North Devon will do their bit by buying the single and help us to raise as much money as possible."
The single is available to buy from March 27 on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Prime.
If you have questions or concerns about dementia, Alzheimer's Society National Dementia Helpline 0300 222 11 22 can provide information and support. More information about the charity is available at alzheimers.org.uk.

How "Conflicted" Are Medical Journal Editors?
Medical journal editors wield substantial power in deciding what gets published and potentially implemented in clinical practice. Theoretically, those decisions could be influenced by "commercial" relationships. To help ascertain the extent of such relationships, a recent retrospective observational study in the BMJ examined payments by US pharmaceutical and device manufacturers to 713 editors from 52 influential medical journals in 26 specialties, including orthopaedics.
Among 713 editors, 50.6% received some "general payments" (i.e, money deposited directly into personal bank accounts) from pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers in 2014.
The median general payment to journal editors was $11, while the mean general payment was $28,136.
The highest median payments were found among journal editors in the specialties of endocrinology ($7,207), cardiology ($2,664), gastroenterology ($696), rheumatology ($515), and urology ($480). The median payment among orthopaedics editors was $121.
The two highest payments to individual editors were >$1 million, and those editors were in the specialties of cardiology and—you guessed it—orthopaedics.
Beyond the dollar-and-cents data, the authors discovered that only one-third of the 52 journal websites had readily accessible statements of conflict-of-interest (COI) polices. Among the journals with COI policies, 75% said they have formal recusal processes that exclude an editor from handling manuscripts where he/she has a conflict.

Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd." First published in 1946; now in a new translation by Matthew Ward.

Born in 1913 in Algeria, Albert Camus was a French novelist, dramatist, and essayist. He was deeply affected by the plight of the French during the Nazi occupation of World War II, who were subject to the military's arbitrary whims. He explored the existential human condition in such works as L'Etranger (The Outsider, 1942) and Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942), which propagated the philosophical notion of the "absurd" that was being given dramatic expression by other Theatre of the Absurd dramatists of the 1950s and 1960s. Camus also wrote a number of plays, including Caligula (1944). Much of his work was translated into English. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Camus died in an automobile accident in 1960.

Should You Sip and Cycle? The Pros and Cons of Biking Through Napa Valley
After years of listening to friends extol their winery-bike-tour experiences, Lettie Teague finally decided to find out what she might have been missing
Illustration: Federica Del Proposto

I RIDE MY BIKE about as often as I taste wine, which is to say almost daily, but I've never considered combining the two. When traveling to wine tastings, I generally stick to the comfort and safety of a car. Bicycling from winery to winery alongside oenophiles riding in cars, often on narrow and congested roads, seemed like a foolhardy, if not downright dangerous, endeavor to me.
Yet from Tuscany to Napa, and parts in between, the world's top wine regions seem to offer as many winery bike tours as bottles. In Napa Valley, the trips are so popular that in high season (summer and fall), you must reserve a spot several weeks in advance.
After years of listening to wine-loving cyclist friends describe their experiences in glowing terms—the camaraderie! the beauty of the vineyards! the great wines!—I finally decided to find out what I might have been missing by driving through wine country.
I chose Napa Valley Bike Tours & Rentals for my initial foray. The Yountville, Calif.-based company has been around since 1987 and last year took some 20,000 cyclists on trips through Napa and Sonoma, according to Kellie Macway, director of group sales and marketing. A full-day tour includes three winery visits over six hours with a group of no more than eight cyclists. The $164 price tag, which includes a box lunch, is reasonable—at least by Napa standards. Tasting-room fees, however, are extra and cost between $25 and $40 each. That may sound expensive until you consider that some wineries charge twice or even four times as much.
The company takes these fees into account when considering which wineries to include in its tours, said Ms. Macway, avoiding high-priced tasting rooms, of which there are sadly more and more in Napa. Location is also key: Wineries have to be within reasonable biking distance of Yountville, which means no remote, hillside estates (often some of the best). I was afraid this would translate into a tour of second-rate wineries—another reason I hadn't ventured out on a bike tour before. But my fears were allayed when Ms. Macway sent me a list of potential stops that included many top names.
When I arrived at the Napa Valley Bike Tours headquarters just before 9 a.m. on the day of my tour, one of the first things I saw was a book depicting different types of biking roads. It contained staff notations that alternated between reassuring—"4 to 8 foot bike lane along the entire length"—and alarming—"one of the main thoroughfares of the Valley." The latter was the very same road on which a BMW had, moments before, sped recklessly past my car. When I expressed my concern, my guide, Mike Kennedy, joked that "50% of my people come back alive."

The affable Mr. Kennedy, a 68-year-old retiree who moved to the area from Maine after he and his wife sold their inn, has been a winery bike guide for the past three years. After he'd rented bikes from Napa Valley Bike Tours for several months, "I asked for a job," he said. Now, Mr. Kennedy leads a tour almost every day and is in particular demand during the July-to-October "crush season," when temperatures often soar past 100 degrees and roads are jammed with cars. "There are days that we will be going faster than the cars," said Mr. Kennedy, with a laugh. I decided he meant that as a reassuring fact.
My group included two middle-aged couples, Tim and Janet from Pittsburgh, and Charlie and Anita from Portland, Ore.; and a woman from Philadelphia, Sharon, and her two 20-something daughters, Megan and Julia, who were celebrating Julia's recent college graduation. As we gathered, Tim mentioned that he thought the tour was "a great way to see the wineries." He especially liked the idea of exercising while drinking. His wife agreed: "Then you don't feel so bad."
After Mr. Kennedy reviewed the safety rules ("If you see a car behind you, yell 'Car back!' ") and offered some cycling tips ("Don't get in one gear and stay there"), we set off. We rode our bikes through the winding streets of Yountville and out into the vineyards, toward our first winery, Goosecross Cellars—a regular stop on the circuit, according to Mr. Kennedy.
At Goosecross, a stylish facility whose open, airy design was arguably more interesting than its wine, the tasting room attendant poured us each a "bonus wine" as a greeting. As we began sipping our bonus wines and the five subsequent one-ounce offerings, I looked for a spit bucket, but there was none to be found—a sign, perhaps, that these tours are meant more for casual drinkers than experts. When I requested one, the attendant looked at me suspiciously. "She knows her stuff," she said. "I'm staying away from her."
Anita finished her husband Charlie's wines. Charlie had a good sense of humor and a generous spirit. He said he had agreed to the excursion with his wife, an avid cycler, because he figured "there would be a lot of old people on the tour" who would likely be slow. He bought bottles at every winery we visited, which someone from the bike company picked up in a van, and always had something pleasant to say about the wine in his glass. "That's a very nice Chardonnay," he said of the 2013 Goosecross Chardonnay, which I thought was excessively oaked. Charlie also liked the Carneros Pinot Noir, a grape he knew well from visiting wineries back home in Oregon.
"I savored the smell of the earth and the slight breeze, and enjoyed the chance to examine the underside of a circling hawk."
On our bikes again, we made our way toward the next winery, turning south down the Silverado Trail, where trucks zoomed uncomfortably close to us. In between bursts of traffic and shouts of "Car back! Car back!," I savored the smell of the earth and the slight breeze, and enjoyed the chance to examine the underside of a circling hawk. It was certainly more pleasant than a ride in a car.
Mr. Kennedy stopped several times along our 13-mile journey to tell stories about the region and its history and to offer wine facts. He shared a tale of the celebrated To Kalon Vineyard, once entirely owned by Robert Mondavi, and took a stab at explaining what "old vines" meant. Mr. Kennedy's overview of grape growing in the valley was mostly accurate, but his knowledge of other regions and wines was a bit less reliable. "The Sancerre grape is the grape of Sauvignon Blanc," he said, inverting the grape and the wine. His audience, enjoying his talk, didn't seem to notice or mind.
During a stop outside Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, where he handed out Clif Bars and water, Mr. Kennedy told the story of how Stag's Leap Cabernet had bested great Bordeaux in the "Judgment of Paris" tasting 40 years earlier, a much-ballyhooed event in the wine world and the subject of the 2008 film "Bottle Shock."
We didn't stay to taste wine at Stag's Leap but pedaled on instead to Materra Cunat Family Vineyards, a few miles south. The sun was high in the sky as we assembled at a picnic table outside. The winery looked like it was still under construction. "We're brand new," said Melissa, the tasting room associate who conducted our tour. "We just opened last year." The wines were a work-in-progress, too. The Sauvignon Blanc was decent, but the rest left me cold.
Just before lunch—which was accompanied by water, not wine—the couple from Pittsburgh and Sharon and her daughters pedaled away; they had all decided to forgo the last winery tasting. They missed out. Our last stop, Silenus Vintners, had the best wines of the day.
The winery, a custom crush facility where producers who lack their own space can make small lots of wine, has been home to some highly regarded talent over the years, including winemakers Russell Bevan and Steve Matthiasson. Scott, the tasting room associate, offered us a Riesling, a rosé, a Merlot and two Cabernets. They were all quite good. Charlie bought multiple bottles and Anita even drank his glass of Cabernet—though she isn't a Cabernet fan.
As we rode away, I considered the tour overall: Was it a win or a bust? Wine wise, I left mostly disappointed—save for Silenus. But there were decided high points as well. I spent several hours with some very nice people, and I got some good exercise. I wasn't hit by a truck or felled from sunstroke, and for the first time in my decades' worth of Napa winery travel, I saw the underside of a hawk.

SUMMER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Urban Poetics, a seminar with curator Radhika Subramaniam is concerned with that ephemeral notion 'the urban experience' and how it is brought into being, a historic process and a deeply sensual one. The elements of space, time, memory, subjectivity, and perception that have created it and continue to do so have also constructed an urban way of knowing. Exploring the questions, What are the urban knowledges produced by these ways of knowing? How do urban practices frame our ways of seeing and being? How do these habituate us and influence the ways in which we inhabit cities? close reading, experiments, performance, listening, walking, and a deep exchange and intersection with one's artistic practice will occur.
Monopolydialogiphonia, workshop with Michael Bowdidge asks: What does it mean to find one's own voice? What does it mean to work with other voices? To lose oneself amongst other voices? Is it still possible to consider oneself to have an authentic voice as a practitioner if, as Barthes suggests, the author is dead? If we can no longer be certain who is speaking, then perhaps we are at liberty to explore other voices and ways of speaking through our practice. This workshop uses the work of Mikhail Bakhtin to explore these issues and open us up to the possibilities of internal and external dialogues, embracing polyphony and heteroglossia individually and through collaboration will allow us to explore spaces of shared authenticity.
Reality, Fiction and the Space of Both and Neither led by Stanya Kahn will offer an intensive studio video course in which students will construct narratives out of lived experience and find performances in the mundane, strategizing alternate methods for making stories and for undoing them, creating hybrid stories while exploring the porous boundaries between fiction and document.

Ronfell Group Ltd is evolving rapidly; since the business was established over 30 years ago we have been working with many clients in the lighting, rubber, military, and marine industries. During the autumn of 2017 we decided to evaluate our structure to help us understand our core values that represent who we are, so we could create the perfect platform for our customers.
The launch of our new website signifies a new era within Ronfell Group. With family at the heart of the business we believe it important to seek new relationships whilst looking after our pre-existing ones.
In order to achieve this we planned and developed our brand new site over a six-month period with the single aim of making our customers user experience more simple. Today we are pleased to share www.ronfell.com with the industry.
Key features of the newly designed website showcase a clean design where visitors can access full catalogues of our products ranges with a few simple clicks.
The site has been produced by two members of our team who worked tirelessly with the aim of improving our customer service. With that in mind, we wanted to create a simplistic landing site which was easily navigated, indicating the right pathways to the plethora of products we offer; in fact, our homepage perhaps features some of our most significant work.
Equally, our product catalogues are a fundamental part of the new website. Broken down into distribution and industry sections we have created a one-stop ebrochure for everything we can supply.

Q: How to use AWS CodeDeploy to ec2 nginx folder? I am creating an AWS CodeDepoly config. I have one ec2 instance and running nginx on it. I also have a 3s basket and it contains an artifact, a folder with site files (one index.html file), I want CodeDepoly to simply take it corny and copy it to a specific folder in this ec2 instance. How to do it? Can't CodeDepoly do such basic functionality? Where to specify the path in ec2 where to copy the folder with artifacts?

A: CodeDeploy only performs actions specified in appspec.yml. Thus, if you want it to copy/change any files on your instance, you have to write the scripts to do it and reference them in appspec.yml.

AFC Wimbledon midfielder relishing Luton Town battle
Sammy Moore looking forward to Hatters meeting, writes ZK Goh
Midfield warrior: Sammy Moore
Sammy Moore is relishing the prospect of taking on Luton Town tomorrow.
The Dons travel to Bedfordshire to meet the promoted side who they beat on penalties in the 2011 Conference Premier play-off final.
Moore, the Dons' longest-serving player, is the only member of the current team who also played in that promotion season - although he missed the Luton clash through injury.
And he is looking forward to taking to the field against the Hatters, who will be playing their first home Football League game in five years.
Conference Premier Play Off-Final 2011: AFC Wimbledon v Luton
He said: "The atmosphere there is going to be electric. It's a real tough place to go."
The Dons conceded a late equaliser against Shrewsbury on the opening day but often looked threatening going forward, and Moore acknowledged that they need to replicate that against Luton.
"We've got to make sure we turn up," he said. "If we put in the same performance as we did today there's no reason why we can't go and get three points."
Jack Smith is a serious doubt for the trip after being stretchered off with a knee injury in the Capital One Cup defeat at MK Dons on Tuesday night but Adam Barrett returns to the squad having missed the game because he was ineligible.

How is Taylor series used in deep learning?
We can apply the Taylor series expansion to any function of the neural network since the Taylor series expansion of any continuous function reveals many of the characteristics of the function.
By Yugesh Verma
In machine learning or deep learning, when we see at the ground level of an algorithm to make the decision or to make the decision accurate, we find the use of mathematics. We can say that machine learning and mathematics are correlated with each other. Various concepts of mathematics are being used for optimizing the algorithms of deep learning and machine learning. The Taylor series is one of the concepts from mathematics that is widely used in the field of machine learning. In this article, we are going to discuss the Taylor series and its uses mainly in deep learning. The Major points to be discussed in this article are listed below.
What is the Taylor series?
Why Do We Use The Taylor series?
Taylor Series in Machine Learning
Taylor Series in Deep Learning
Use cases of the Taylor Series in Deep Learning
Let's start the discussion by understanding what the Taylor series is.
In mathematics, the Taylor series can be considered as a series expansion of a function about a single point. Expansion of any function is an infinite sum of terms of the function's derivative about any single point. If the derivatives are considered at zero the Taylor series becomes the Maclaurin series.
The Taylor polynomial of the function is a polynomial of degree n where n+1 terms of the Taylor series form the partial sum. Taylor polynomials can also be considered as an approximation of a function where, generally, as the n increases, the approximation becomes better.
Whenever an approximation is done, it introduces an error and the Taylor theorem helps in providing quantitative estimates on the errors. Mathematically, the Taylor series for any function F(x) can be given by:
Where,
f(x) is infinitely differentiable,
a is some point where a function needs to be approximated.
The above series can also be represented by a compact sigma formulation, like:
n! = factorial of n.
f(n)(a) = nth derivative of f evaluated at the point a.
When a = 0, the series becomes the Maclaurin series.
Here we had a basic introduction to the Tyler series. Let's discuss the uses of the Tyler series.
Below are some examples where we use the Taylor series:-
We have already discussed that it can be used as an approximation of a function, by including many sufficient terms. Taylor polynomials of the series can be used as an approximation of the functions.
We can perform term by term differentiation and integration very easily.
By extending the analytics function to a holomorphic function on an interval in the complex plane, we can make the machinery of complex analysis available.
Often by casting and evaluating the polynomial into Chebyshev form we can use the series to compute the function value numerically.
Mostly in physics, we use the Tyler series to make unsolvable problems possible by using the first few terms from the series.
We have gone through some of the uses of the Taylor series in different fields. Mainly we found that using the Taylor series, we can perform the approximation of any function. Machine learning procedure can be assumed as the combination of many mathematical functions. Let's see why we need the Taylor series in machine learning.
As we've discussed, the machine learning procedure can be assumed as the combination of many mathematical functions. Let's take an example of the cost function in machine learning which is mainly used to measure the amount of error in the description of data and cost optimization can be considered as the procedure of reducing the wrongness in data description as much as possible.
We can say that the Taylor series is a tool to find the minima in the cost function of any machine learning procedure. However, by differentiating the cost function, we can find out the minima of the cost function but not all the functions can be differentiated. Let's consider the below graph of a function,
The above function is very easy and anyone can think that the global minimum of the function is at zero. But if the function is more complex, let's consider the below image.
Talking about the first function, we can easily understand where the minima of the function exist by just visualizing it. But in the second function, we can find some difficulties in finding the point where we can obtain the minimum value from the function. Using the Taylor series we can differentiate and approximate the point where the function will be at the point we care about. Talking about the cost function, it should be at a minimum.
So here we have an intuition about why we need the Taylor series in the machine learning procedure. Deep learning is also a part of machine learning and in the next section, we will see why we need the Taylor function in deep learning in detail.
In deep learning as well, many of the functions require to be approximated to acquire good results from the procedure. Let's take an example of the convolutional neural network wherein the blocks use various rectifiers and pooling operations like max pooling. In most of the cases related to CNN, we see that the rectifiers and pooling functions are neither smooth nor convex. In such scenarios, we mostly find use of gradient descent and adam optimization techniques are being used as building blocks for deep learning algorithms. We can also use the Taylor series as an optimization function in the deep learning procedure.
We can also apply the Taylor series expansion to any function of the neural network since the Taylor series expansion of any continuous function reveals many of the characteristics of the function. Talking about the neural networks where various functions are applied together, applying the Taylor expansion on these functions such as the performance function can reveal new insights into the working of neural networks.
In most of the cases, we see that the performance measure of the deep learning networks can be expressed as the objective function to be optimized or the deep learning networks output functions, and the parameters of the functions are weighted, input activation, and output activation. The Taylor series expansion can be applied to this performance measure and enables us to study the details of the objective and output function of the deep neural network.
Applying Taylor expansion to the objective function of the deep neural network is one of the most important uses of Taylor expansion in deep learning. In most cases, sum squared error is being used as the objective function.
Let's say that E is an objective function of any neural network with 𝛳 = (θ1…., θi ) parameter vector of the neural networks. ∆θi is a perturbation of any parameter then the Taylor series expansion of the E will be,
And the change in the error due to perturbation will be,
From the change in error, the first-order error can be used with gradient descent optimization which can lead the neural network to the local minima. The second-order term can be used in optimization to improve the convergence in neural networks.
The same procedure can be applied to any function of the deep neural network and after analyzing the sensitivity of the function we can apply the pruning of the deep neural networks. In many pieces of research, we find the suggestion of applying the pruning after convergence is reached. At the minimum of any function, the derivative of the function becomes approximately zero so we can remove the first term from the change in the error.
Use cases of Taylor series in deep learning
In the above, we have seen an example of applying the Taylor series in deep learning. There are various use cases of the Taylor series in deep learning which can be used to improve and optimize the performance of the deep learning algorithm. Some of the uses of the Taylor series in neural networks are as follows:
Taylor approximation can be applied to isolate the difficulties like shattered gradients, in the training of neural networks.
Tylor expansion and approximation can be used for investigating the hypothesis that adaptive optimizers converge to better solutions.
Taylor's composition can be used for explaining the prediction from neural networks in a quantitative way.
As we have already discussed that we can improve the performance of neural networks by studying the performance function, the characteristics of the performance function can be revealed using the Taylor series expansion.
In this article, we have got a basic understanding of the Taylor series and we have discussed the need for the Taylor series in machine learning and different other fields. Along with this, we have also discussed the uses and requirements of the Taylor series in deep learning using an example of applying Taylor series expansion on the performance and objective function of any neural network.

Is your organization looking for innovative ways to reduce waste? Why not try participating in the Environmental Protection Agency's Food Recovery Challenge (FRC)? A key component of the EPA's Sustainable Materials Management Program, the FRC encourages businesses and institutions of all kinds to embrace sustainable food management by preventing and diverting wasted food in their operations.
Interested participants can sign up on the EPA website by first submitting baseline information about their current level of food waste and then setting a goal (along with specific actions) for reducing that waste. The program is easy to join and offers awards in a number of different categories. To be eligible for this year's FRC, groups must submit their data and goals by March 31, 2017.
If you need a little extra inspiration, read on for profiles of some of the environmentally-minded organizations that won the FRC in 2016.
Strongly committed to zero food waste, the organic grocery chain Sprouts Farmers Market aims to promote sustainability in all aspects of getting food from the farm to the store, including soil and water management, sustainable packaging, and efficient transportation. As part of its FRC effort, Sprouts launched a Food Rescue Program that resulted in Sprouts stores all across the country donating more than 14 million pounds of healthy food to local hunger-relief agencies. The company diverted an additional 5.5 million pounds of food from the landfill, sending it instead to composting facilities and for use as animal feed at local farms.
A public charter school in Oahu, Hawaii, Lanikai School is currently entering its second full year as a 100% food waste recovery institution. Keen practitioners of the zero waste philosophy, Lanikai students at every grade level work together to collect, sort, and separate all organic waste generated by the school, including food waste from lunches and snacks, paper and cardboard, and yard waste.
Some of the processing technologies the school employs are highly innovative: for example, worms feed on kitchen preparation waste, mixed plate scrapings go into a hot compost array, and an anaerobic fermentation process known as bokashi fermentation handles heavy proteins. In 2015, these and other technologies helped Lanikai School transform 14,433 pounds of food waste into rich soil amendments, which it used to nourish its highly productive gardens. It also shared these products with other growers in the community.
Located in California's Santa Ynez Valley, the Chumash Casino Resort has set itself the goal of becoming a zero waste company by 2019. Not surprisingly for a hospitality establishment, better food waste management will be a major part of achieving this goal; the resort estimates that food waste makes up roughly 40% of its total waste stream at present.
In pursuit of its zero waste goals, the resort employs a pulper, a dehydrator, and a liquefier on-site to help with reducing and recycling food waste. The resort also partners with a local waste hauler and composting facility to streamline processing of its kitchen scraps and the bio-solids from the resort's wastewater treatment plant.
Dedicated to conserving and preserving America's parks, these two organizations used data tracking and analysis to help reduce the amount of food they wasted. By scrutinizing guests' dining choices and carefully measuring food waste on a monthly basis, Ortega National Parks and Carlsbad Caverns Trading Company were able to redesign their menus and servings in such a way as to limit food waste by guests, while still offering an appealing range of dining options. Vendor product selection and detailed inventory management also helped to prevent unnecessary food waste through spoilage.
New Paltz, New York, has been a leading proponent of food recovery for several years, and participating in the FRC has solidified its reputation as a model for food recovery initiatives and small-capacity composters. Since 2012, the New Paltz ReUse and Recycling Center has been composting commercial food waste, diverting more than 1,380 tons of source separated food waste from the landfill over the years.
Local food chains in the town promote food recovery by donating consumable food to community soup kitchens and non-consumable food for use as animal feed. The town also works with the campus dorm of SUNY New Paltz to ensure that extra food finds its way from the campus to people in need.
With its long tradition of embracing and promoting sustainability, it's not surprising that UC Davis launched a broad range of food waste reduction programs during its FRC participation. Some of its initiatives include the Just-Ask program, where students in the dining hall can ask to have unwanted ingredients removed from their dishes rather than simply throwing them away; the Try-A-Taste program, which gives diners the option to sample a dish before choosing a full serving; and interactive waste audits and educational displays that inform diners about how much edible food people waste during a typical meal period.
