Behind the Bar: Staycation Edition
June 29, 2019 /in Eat/Drink, Featured /by M.K. Koszycki
Vacations, no matter how lovely, are never quite long enough. You deserve more than a weeklong romp on the beach and there are ways to recreate that magic without straying far from home. Enter Coconut Club, located catty-corner to Union Market, and The Wharf's Tiki TNT: two places that can help you recreate vacation vibes while whipping up drinks that are tasty and tropical. While I fully encourage taking as many trips as you can fathom, you can make any day a little sunnier when you walk through the doors and up to the bars at both of these locations.

Coconut Club
Four months ago, a brightly colored storefront popped up near Union Market on Penn Street – a quickly expanding destination for food and drink in the District. It belongs to Coconut Club, the creation of Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay champion Adam Greenberg.
It's an airy oasis in a neighborhood that still feels charmingly industrial – think an open-air door, bright murals, tropical flavors and plenty of plants. Greenberg drew from his travels to warmer climates in places like California, Cuba, Hawaii and Miami.
"The idea is that you are on vacation," Greenberg explains. "You're at the beach so it should be carefree, whimsical, a little bit fun. It shouldn't be so serious."
Chris Chapman, who manages the bar along with Tina Hatano, echoes that the laidback sentiment plays into all they do. The bar anchors everything from its location in the middle of the space, and is slightly reminiscent of a swim-up bar at a destination beach club.
"We wanted to be approachable and not overwhelming," he says. "There are not a lot of decisions to make – just fun. We try to keep that rolling and stick with that vibe on both sides, from the bar and the kitchen."
Not one to skew tropical, beachy or sunny when you order a drink? Coconut Club still has you covered.
"There's something for everyone," Hatano adds. "If you want wine, it's not going to be something that requires a 20-minute description. It's going to be something like a really nice, classic sauvignon blanc. If you want a cocktail, you can get something spirit-forward. You can get something fruity."
In the four months since they've opened their doors, the team has kept a pulse on what everyone who's taken a mini-vacation at Coconut Club has had to say, and looks for ways to conduct their brand of fun in an even more effective manner.
While wildly Instagrammable drinks like the "That Thing's On Fire" will stay on the menu, Chapman notes they've got some changes up the sleeves of their tropical shirts. "A classic cocktail list with Coconut Club's variations [and] classic tiki and beach drinks that everyone wants to have and everyone loves" are all slated to make appearances on the menu.
The Rum Manhattan exemplifies this ethos – a smooth but not saccharine twist on the classic dark drink that uses toasted coconut, fat-washed rum for a cocktail that's approachable but distinctly Coconut Club. The foodie destination recently introduced brunch, and plans to roll out a happy hour later this summer.

"Be on the lookout," Greenberg says. "Even though [people] like what we're doing, we're only going to get better at what we do, which is great."
It's evident that even though the dedicated team desires to improve whenever possible, they've already tapped into a desire for whimsy paired with quality food and drink.
"We get people that come in dressed up for Coconut Club in Aloha shirts," Chapman says. "It's a thing! It's like, 'This is what we're doing Saturday. Everybody get on Amazon and buy your stuff.'"
Hatano agrees.
"And that's the whole point: just come here and have fun."

Tiki TNT's Todd Thrasher // Photo: Hayley Olivenbaum
Tiki TNT
Tiki TNT's giant smokestack can't be missed by anyone entering the city via 395. Proclaiming the motto "Make rum not war," the distillery and bar helmed by Todd Thrasher lets patrons know it's a place to abandon personal and political troubles before crossing the Virginia state line and entering the three-story haven.
"We have a president that we all want to forget about – at least that most of us want to forget about," Thrasher says as he explains the concept behind his latest creation, the potent TNT Problem Forgetter. "So, this was the kind of cocktail where you can come in and forget about everything that went bad during a bad day. You can have one, and you start feeling good right away."
Much like the motto on the smokestack, it captures the essence of the spot, shaken into a colorful zombie glass.
"Every tiki bar seems like they have their one cocktail that represents who they are," he continues.
For years, Thrasher has been known for his careful craft, making bitters and other cocktail ingredients around the DMV while also running the Eat Good Food Group (speakeasy PX, Kaliwa, and Virtue Feed & Grain, to name a few). With Tiki TNT, he's able to enact a new level of craftsmanship with every drink as Thrasher's Rum is distilled onsite.
"I make the rum how I want the rum to taste," he explains. "I've been making cocktails and ingredients for years and years and years now. It just gives something extra. Now I can make ingredients. I can make bitters and the base spirit, too."
In the case of the signature TNT Problem Forgetter, there's a two-drink limit. But the boozy offering will certainly make you forget your problems as the name suggests, as will the vibrant atmosphere Thrasher and his team work tirelessly to cultivate. While there are plenty of structural details that delineate Tiki TNT from the norm, he says it's the "spirit of Aloha" that truly makes the whole experience come together every day.

"You have to live Aloha – live nice and live friendly. We tell the staff, 'You have to have that Aloha spirit. You have to be warm. You have to be welcoming. You have to be fun because we live in DC, which is a high-stress place.' Last night, everyone that came in here was like, 'Oh, this is like a vacation.'"
With Tiki TNT's third-level rooftop now open, providing a stunning view of The Wharf and across the Potomac, it's easy to forget you're not in the tropics with locally crafted rum in hand and a holiday-esque feeling surrounding you.

So after a few weeks of non-stop travel and catching each other in passing, D. and I are both home together for two whole weekends. Our place is a sad reflection of frenzied lives; half-unpacked suitcases, piles of laundry, piles of mail, empty cupboards and herds of dust bunnies cowering in corners. Although the weather is refusing to cooperate, I have major spring fever, which includes the desire to scour and transform our house into something lovely and light-filled with open windows and curtains billowing in the breeze.... something a little like these lovely spaces.
I am so relieved to hear that our apartments are in similar states! I've been torturing myself for the last three week over the mess I haven't had time to clean, despite working from home. Somehow freelancing leaves even less time for chores than the 9-5 did.


My relative is successfully employed with a private firm as a Accounts/Finance Professional. To describe about our family, we belong to the Brahmin - Deshastha caste and looking for a match from the same community. We are a nuclear family with traditional values. My relative resides in Pudukkottai.

What To Do When Your Pension Plan Is Terminated?
The traditional defined benefit, or pension plan, is truly becoming a thing of the past. A recent GAO survey of 183 pension plans indicated that even among those plans that do still exist, 20 percent of employer sponsors intended to terminate the plan in 2015 alone. This trend is certainly in full swing in Northwest Indiana as well.
When a pension plan terminates, each vested participant in the plan receives a notoriously complicated notification letter announcing the termination. For many younger workers, their employer's pension plan was something way off the radar, so when the convoluted notice comes in the mail it often causes even more confusion.
But it does require some decisions, and options must be considered wisely.
Usually the employee entitled to the pension can choose one of four primary options: to keep the retirement benefit (typically payable at age 65), take a much smaller income benefit immediately, take the current cash value of the benefit in a check now or rollover the cash value of the benefit to an IRA.

About Tapioca Flour Production
Tapioca is produced from the starch of the cassava plant. Officially known as Tapioca starch, it differs from Cassava flour in that the Cassava flour is ground from the root itself.
The cassava plant has either red or green branches with blue spindles on them. The root of the green-branched variant requires treatment to remove linamarin, a cyanogenic glycoside occurring naturally in the plant, which otherwise may be converted into cyanide. Konzo (also called mantakassa) is a paralytic disease associated with several weeks of almost exclusive consumption of insufficiently processed bitter cassava.
In the North and Northeast of Brazil, traditional community based production of tapioca is a by-product of manioc flour production from cassava roots. In this process, the manioc (after treatment to remove toxicity) is ground to a pulp with a small hand- or diesel-powered mill. This masa is then squeezed to dry it out. The wet masa is placed in a long woven tube called a tipiti. The top of the tube is secured while a large branch or lever is inserted into a loop at the bottom and used to stretch the entire implement vertically, squeezing a starch-rich liquid out through the weave and ends. This liquid is collected and the water allowed to evaporate, leaving behind a fine-grained tapioca powder similar in appearance to corn starch.
Commercially, the starch is processed into several forms: hot soluble powder, meal, pre-cooked fine/coarse flakes, rectangular sticks, and spherical "pearls". Pearls are the most widely available shape; sizes range from about 1 mm to 8 mm in diameter, with 2–3 mm being the most common.
Flakes, sticks, and pearls must be soaked well before cooking, in order to rehydrate, absorbing water up to twice their volume. After rehydration, tapioca products become leathery and swollen. Processed tapioca is usually white, but sticks and pearls may be colored. Since old times, the most common color applied to tapioca has been brown, but recently pastel colors have been available. Tapioca pearls are generally opaque when raw, but become translucent when cooked in boiling water: it forms a clear gel with long, slightly stringy texture. Moreover, tapioca flour loses most of its thickening properties with long cooking or in high acidic conditions.
Gluten free, it can be used by those who are gluten intolerant as in baked products it lends a springy texture, promotes browning and makes crispy crusts.
Brazil in South America, Thailand in Asia, and Nigeria in Africa are the world's largest producers of cassava. Currently, Thailand accounts for about 60% of worldwide exports.
As for cassava has a worldwide cultivation, tapioca flour plays an obvious role in thickening products like pudding, starches and gravy. It plays a more subtle role in baked products like muffins, biscuits, and other baked goods. In fact, it is the preferred thickener for delicate foods and desserts, also producing a high gloss, and we can find tapioca flour in many different bakery product and recipes worldwide.

The village Pigniu lies at 1300 meters above sea in the Surselva Region of Graubünden province, above the Town Ilanz. The house above the centre of the village is clearly of our time, but still integrating into the village's general appearance.
A strip surrounds the whole volume on both levels. Its material changes from concrete in the base to wooden shingles in the upper living floor. The strip emerges from the landscape and ends at the entry of the house by the street – from here the structure is revealed to the visitor. Even if the house is freestanding, an articulation of subdivided volumes is reached by shifting the two levels to each other – this dynamic structure loosens the massiveness of the house, and connects it to the alpine panorama with centrifugal forces.
The materials of the house are chosen in relation to the surrounding houses and barns. Its constructive language connects traditional elements with modern techniques. The lower part is kept in concrete with a flat modular formwork – the upper one is of prefabricated wooden elements, covered with hand-cut larch shingles. The larch windows and shutters are the same for both parts – accentuating the continuity of the strip. While the house is integrated with its outer appearance, the inner spaces are completely different. The open spaces are divided only by levels and sliding walls. The continuity of the spiral is reflected in the spatial structure, and thereby in the daily movements of the inhabitants. The soapstone fireplace is the centerpiece of the movement – continuing over two levels from oven to "chaise très longue," and ending in the kitchen.
By summer 2012 the house will be opening for holiday rent at www.surselva.info.

Here's another installment of From the Top of the Hill, John D MacDonald's newspaper column from the Clinton Courier. I've presented the last portion of this one before -- where JDM recounts the family's winter stay in Texas -- with additional background. If you're interested you can read it here.
We'll call this section The Old World -- Glances Over the Shoulder at what was going on exactly ten years ago this week.
President Roosevelt spent a rugged week talking to business men and politicians about the 37-38 industrial recession.
Hirohito, Emperor of Japan, was pleased to call his reign the "era of radiant peace."
Congresswoman Virginia Jenckes of Indiana proposed to the Washington DAR that the Capital's famed Japanese cherry grove be cut down and sawed up for firewood.
The Japanese Second Army was consolidating its gains in Paoting, North China.
In Moscow's Red Square Stalin reviewed 1,750,000 of the faithful and introduced his fifth grade, eleven year old daughter, Svetlana, to the public.
Dr. Arthurs Holley Compton, physicist, obtained first empirical proof of the existence of a gimmick called a "neutrino."
Three hundred and fifty railroad cars and locomotives were torch-cut into scrap near Memphis for shipment to Italy's war machine.
We were enjoying Carole Lombard and Frederic March in Nothing Sacred. Remember that wonderful right cross to the Lombard chin?
World news of ten years ago has a wry flavor. Thirty million people went blissfully about their business, unaware that the war would pop them into untimely graves. There were enough houses for everyone and five dollars would buy a grocery order that was work to carry out to the car. Let us know if you want this feature continued.
Last winter we followed the sun to Texas. It was in the nature of a gamble, because the typewriter we took along had to bang out enough saleable wordage to get us back. We were looking for a place that wasn't expensive. Believe it or not, we found such a place and we herewith recommend it to all who wince at the thought of Florida tariffs.
Go to the Hill Country, seventy miles northwest of San Antonio. It is a resort section used by the people from the Gulf cities when the summer heat down there becomes unbearable. During the winter it is pretty quiet and thus accommodations that, during the summer months, rent for two and three hundred a month can be obtained for fifty and sixty. And it is almost as warm as Florida.
We stayed at a place called Bon Aire Lodge six miles from Ingram, Texas, "the only all rock town in the U.S.." They stamp that on outgoing letters. Bon Aire Lodge isn't a lodge. The proprietor purchased the mess hall from a P.W. camp, cut it into pieces and sprinkled the pieces around on a rocky hill. He paneled the inside in Mexican pine and had local stone masons rock the outside.
We rented a cabin that had yet to be rocked. After we were there a week, a truck dropped great slabs of white and brown stone beside the cabin. A few days later some lean and dusty men showed up with chipping hammers and went to work. During the chill of early morning we furnished the coffee.
The men talked to each other in a very normal fashion. "Mistuh Lee, would you kindly hand me that rock?' They has worked together for years and it was still on a mistuh basis.
They sang while they worked. It was a song we'd never heard before. No words to it. A mournful chant, plaintive and haunting.
We were sorry when the cabin was all rocked and they moved on.
This summer, as the FM tower diagonally across the street from us was being built, we were walking near it. Suddenly he heard that same song. We found out the next day that the steelworkers who put up the tower came from Texas.
Last night we looked at the red lights blinking on the tower and thought of that plaintive song. We thought of the live oaks, the hillside goats, the Guadalupe River. We remembered sitting out in the sun in a swim suit while we hacked at the typewriter during February, March and April. We remembered the big-hatted, slow-talking men gathering, with their weathered-looking women at the stone schoolhouse during the evening to play dominoes.
If you get tired of ice and want to head down in that direction, let us know. We'll tell you whom to write to. That is, if you don't mind being envied.

Looking for a Certified Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom?
As one of the only providers with a Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom, we protect your media while performing data recovery.
As the first data recovery company to earn a Class 10 ISO 4 certification, Secure Data Recovery Services is uniquely qualified to repair physical issues on hard drives, solid-state drives and other digital media. This page contains detailed answers to some of the most common questions that we receive regarding our Cleanroom certification and the role of the Cleanroom in the data recovery process.
We maintain a certified Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom in order to perform safe, reliable data recovery procedures for our clients.
To view an answer, click on the corresponding question. You can also call our customer service team at 1-800-388-1266 for more information or to start a case.
Q: What is a Cleanroom?
A Cleanroom is a specialized environment that uses advanced filters, temperature controls, humidity controls and anti-static technology to eliminate dust and other airborne particles. Data recovery engineers work in Cleanrooms when performing physical media repairs.
Q: How do data recovery companies use Cleanroom technology to protect my media?
Hard drives, solid-state drives, flash drives and other digital storage devices contain a number of sensitive components. This is particularly true for hard drives--the read/write heads of a hard drive are extremely precise, and a single microscopic contaminant can easily cause damage.
Data recovery engineers regularly open digital storage devices in order to repair damaged components, and by working in a certified Cleanroom, they can prevent contaminants from endangering the process.
Q: How do Cleanroom classifications work?
There are several classification systems for Cleanrooms, but the two most popular options are US FED STD 209E and ISO 14644-1. Both of these systems measure the number of particles in a cubic foot of air and assign a rating based on that measurement.
In order to meet Class 1000 / ISO 6 standards, a Cleanroom must have a maximum of 1,000 particles (sized at 0.5 µm or greater) per cubic foot of space. The number after the "class" rating indicates the contamination tolerance of the Cleanroom; for instance, Class 100 / ISO 5 standards allow for a maximum of 100 particles. Therefore, a smaller number indicates a better Cleanroom.
Q: What type of Cleanroom do data recovery engineers need in order to safely work with hard drives?
The bare minimum Cleanroom rating for data recovery work is Class 100 / ISO 5, but we feel that these standards are slightly lenient considering the data density of many newer devices. Engineers need a more protective environment in order to completely prevent harmful contamination.
Secure Data Recovery Services was the first provider to establish a Class 10 / ISO 4 Cleanroom, which effectively eliminates any particles that could damage hard drive read/write heads and other sensitive media components.
Q: How does a company earn a Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom certification?
We maintain our Cleanroom through regular tests and laboratory audits. Because the quality of our Cleanroom can directly affect the data recovery process, we exercise strict standards and hire third-party attestation firms to ensure compliance with Class 10 standards.
We post our Cleanroom certification online for the benefit of our clients. Visit our Cleanroom page to view this document or for more information regarding our data recovery technology.

At a time when the 12-hour bandh, called by 46 organisations demanding scrapping of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, was observed in most parts of the Brahmaputra Valley, there was little impact of the bandh in Kokrajhar, the headquarters of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), on Tuesday.
The 12-hour statewide bandh failed to affect normal life in Kokrajhar town with most of the business establishments like shops and markets remained open, and the Government offices, schools and other educational institutions functioning as usual.
However, according to information, the attendance in government offices and educational institutions was thin.
In Shanti Nagar Pathshala Primary School, though all the four teachers were present, out of the total 126 students of the school, only 15 students remained present.
Though long distance public transport like buses remained off the roads, short distance vehicles were seen plying on the roads as usual.
Additional police personnel and security forces were deployed throughout the district to ensure that there is no disruption or violence in connection with the bandh call.
No untoward incidents were also reported from any part till the filing of the report.

Stepping Up to Support Our Communities During the COVID-19 Outbreak
Since Katz, Sapper & Miller's founding nearly 80 years ago, community involvement has been central to our firm's identity. As KSM's vision states: "We invest in our communities because everyone at KSM believes that it's the right thing to do."
Investment in our communities has been more important than ever during this unprecedented coronavirus health crisis. Businesses and individuals throughout the country have answered the call and rallied together to support each other and our most vulnerable populations.
Right now, some central Indiana families are especially challenged to consistently put meals on their tables every day. While the situation is ever evolving, we know that the demand for access to food will increase as this virus continues to affect our state and the entire country.
This week, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay called on residents to support Gleaners Food Bank, one of the oldest hunger-fighting food banks in the nation. Mr. Irsay issued a challenge: If the community could raise $200,000, then he would donate $1 million to fight hunger.
We were proud to step up to the challenge with our donation of $10,000 and are honored to play a small part in this important cause. (And thrilled that Mr. Irsay's challenge has since been met and vastly surpassed.)
"It is imperative that we help those who are in the most need during this uncertain time. We appreciate Jim Irsay bringing this issue to the forefront, allowing us the opportunity to help alleviate the lack of access to food in our community," said David Resnick, KSM's managing partner. "Let's continue to come together for each other and for our neighbors who may be less fortunate than we are."
These contributions will help Gleaners Food Bank provide almost three weeks of meals for Indianapolis Public School households as part of its drive-through meal pick-up service. Gleaner's meals will go a long way toward helping the one in seven people in central and southeast Indiana struggling with hunger and food insecurity.
And there's more to be done. As you and your family watch out for the health and safety of your loved ones, please consider members of our community who could use a helping hand. If you are able, please join us in making a contribution to Gleaners or other local organizations that work to support the care of those in need, especially during this critical time.

Bachner, Ruth
Ruth Bachner witnessed Kristallnacht as a child in Austria, an event she recalled as terrifying. She didn't understand what was happening, except for the dawning realization that her parents wouldn't be able to protect her.
From Austria, her father was able to escape to Belgium. Soon after he left, Ruth, her brother, and her mother were forced out of their apartment in Austria by the building's young janitor wearing his SS uniform. The janitor moved into the apartment, which confused the young Ruth even further. How could that happen? Why would her mother allow it?
With forged passports, Ruth, her brother, and her mother boarded a train to Germany in January 1939 in the hopes of making it to Belgium for a reunion with Ruth's father. Heading into Germany was terrifying, but it was the only way the family could get to the Belgian border. They crossed the border at night on foot. Ruth remembers hearing the German soldiers and their dogs howling in the distance.
An attempt to leave for America was stalled by Germany's invasion of Belgium on the day Ruth's family had an appointment at the American consulate. Ruth and her family, like all Jews, were made to wear the yellow Star of David on their clothes.
As living conditions and the political situation became more desperate, Ruth's parents sent her to a convent and her brother to a Catholic orphanage – both under the direction of Father Bruno Reynders, a priest who saved nearly 400 Jews. Though Ruth felt abandoned by her parents at the time, she later understood that entrusting her and her brother to Father Reynders was an act of love.
Life in the convent was a challenge. Ruth spent much of the time worried that she would be found out by authorities. The nuns changed her name to Marie Renée Le Roi and told her to never divulge that she was Jewish.
After the war ended, Ruth wanted to become a nun, having been told at the convent that she would burn in hell if she wasn't baptized. But her mother took her from the convent to be with the rest of the family. Though Ruth didn't want to leave the convent initially, she left her affiliation with Catholicism behind when the family emigrated to the United States. As she said, "My father was a believer, who used to say he had a pact with the Almighty, and I'm a believer, too." Her immediate family, as well as all four of her father's siblings, her mother's two siblings, survived the Holocaust. "What happened to my family was a true miracle."
Ruth married Fred Bachner, a survivor of Auschwitz and Dachau. Though Ruth didn't talk much with her parents about their Holocaust experiences, or life before the Holocaust, she and her husband did share their life stories with each other. And in 1961, the couple watched the televised trial of newly captured SS leader Adolf Eichmann with their two young daughters. At first, Bachner wasn't sure they should allow their daughters to watch, as both girls were under 11 years old. But her husband said they girls should watch, and that he and Ruth would answer any of their daughters' questions.
In the late 1980s, Bachner and her husband took their children to visit concentration camps, as well as the Belgian convent where she lived in hiding. "We felt it was important to show our children and it was important for me to go back." She described what happened at her family's former apartment building in Vienna: "I was trembling as I rang the bell to our apartment. I saw it was the same janitor who had forced us out. I wanted to come in, but he would not allow me. He slammed the door in my face and I cursed him out in German.
"Somehow by expressing my anger at this man, who was himself only a teenager then, I felt cleansed in a way."
Ruth Bachner died from complications of COVID-19 on May 11, 2020.

Gunners Drawn Against Southampton After Reading Win
Arsenal made it safely through to the Quarter Finals of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night, with two goals from Alex Oxlade Chamberlain helping them to a comfortable victory over Championship side Reading. Manager Arsene Wenger chose to rest the majority of his regular first team starters, with a mixture of youngsters and back-up players doing enough to claim a 2-0 victory. Their reward for such a success is a quarter final clash with Southampton, with the Gunners among the favourites in the football odds among bookmakers to win the trophy for a third time.
Having come off the back of a disappointing home draw with Middlesbrough, Wenger was certainly under pressure to deliver a positive result, however the Frenchman still stuck with his familiar policy of resting players in the competition. Lucas Perez was handed a rare start following his arrival at the Emirates at the end of the summer transfer window, while defender Carl Jenkinson made his comeback from long term injury. However, it was Oxlade-Chamberlain who stole the show, scoring a goal in each half to silence his critics. As a result of his brace, and despite the club's willingness to use the competition in order to rotate their squad, Arsenal are better odds now for the season winner, with Betway installing them as the 3/1 second favourites for the competition in their football odds.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has suffered from some damaging injuries since he joined Arsenal, however the former Southampton youngster is in danger is being left behind. Along with his undoubted talent, the England international suffers from an irritating lack of consistency, with the 23-year-old struggling for game time with the likes of Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi ahead of him in the pecking order. The Ox was not part of England's squad for Euro 2016, and has been linked with moves away from the Emirates in the last few weeks.
Wenger will certainly be pleased with how his understudies handled the situation on Tuesday however, and with the club looking to make an assault on both Premier League and Champions League this season, the Frenchman will certainly be hoping that this long continues. Having finished second in the English top flight last time around, Betway offer football odds of 11/2 for Arsenal to claim a first title since 2004. However, with the FA Cup proving successful over recent history, the pressure will be on Wenger to deliver on all fronts.

REVS NAME PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
(September 19, 2022, York, Pa.) — In a pregame ceremony before its final game on Sunday, the York Revolution announced the recipients of its annual Player of the Year Awards. Infielder Elmer Reyes was named Player of the Year, Eduardo Rivera was named Pitcher of the Year, and outfielder Melky Mesa received the Corey Thurman Community Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season.
Reyes was a consistent, steady contributor for the Revs, day in and day out, while manning one of the most demanding positions on the diamond. His rock-solid defense at shortstop helped the Revs become one of the league's best defensive teams. His 115 games played ranks second on the team. At the plate, Reyes batted .271 and ranked 8th in the league with 133 hits and 8th in the league with 52 extra-base hits. He blasted 10 home runs, drove in 66 runs, and set a new Revs single-season record with a league-leading 41 doubles.
Rivera finished his second season in York leading all active pitchers on the staff with 8 wins and 18 starts. He worked 110 innings on the season and allowed 14 fewer hits than innings, ranking 2nd in the league with a .235 opponents' average. He also eclipsed the 100-strikeout mark for the second straight year, tied for 9th in the league with 102 strikeouts on the season. He finished second on the team in wins, innings, and strikeouts, and was the only pitcher to place in the top two in all three categories.
Mesa's impact on the field during his four seasons in York has been second to none. He capped off another outstanding season with a .272 average, 24 doubles, 16 home runs, and 77 RBI. This season, he set the Revs' all-time record for RBI, moved into second in hits and home runs, and defensively set the all-time record for outfield assists. But his impact off the field was just as significant. The Revs' captain was one of the first on the field each day and one of the last to leave each night, stopping to sign autographs and bond with a fanbase that has adopted him as a true fan favorite. Beloved by his fans, his teammates, and opponents, Mesa played the game with a constant, huge smile, and no one brought more smiles to the faces of others than Mesa.


Making your children do the chores can be exhausting and overwhelming but it is crucial to teach them from an early age about their responsibilities and obligations. It is important for them to learn to clean after themselves and to participate in tiding up. The good thing is that there is no need to make an issue out of this as there are tons of fun and imaginative ways you can do this. These are some tips and tricks how you can make your children clean their room without any trouble whatsoever.
It is important to set the rules since the beginning so they can learn to follow them from the start. Keep in mind not to be too harsh but not to indulgent either. You need to find a balance. The key is for them to take you seriously and finish their chores, but at the same time not to look at you like an authoritative figure. You are their parent, not their teacher and not their parole officer. You can also try to make up some fun rules together. It's good to have strict rules what it means to keep the room clean. Making the bed, putting away dirty clothes, putting away toys etc..you would be surprised what clean means to them and what it means to you.
You need to keep in mind that you are their role models and they look up to you. Whatever you do or say or how you behave, they will imitate it. So it is better to set a good example right from the beginning. Be sure to keep your stuff in order and to clean up after yourself. Your children will pay more attention to what you do rather than what you say, so be careful. And although you don't like cleaning up as much as they, keep in mind not to complain about it. If you do that, they will naturally think it's hard work and it will be much harder to convince them otherwise.
Doing things together is more fun and it can actually count as a family activity. That way they won't have an impression that they are forced to do chores, rather they will get an idea that they are spending some quality time with their family. It's much more effective than just standing on the door and ordering them to do it by themselves. After some time, it will get in their daily routine and they'll start doing it alone. Although it may be easier in the beginning to just clean up after them, don't do it. It's important for them to learn a sense of responsibility from an early age.
Cleaning up doesn't have to be a constant battle between you and the kids. You can make it appear as you are playing just another game, you just need to be creative. For example, for younger children it can be fun to start cleaning and sorting things by color. You can also buy colored plastic crates in which they will put their toys in. That way it's a learning process and at the same time you get the desired effect. Also, when it comes to clothes, you can just play dress-up and urge them to put away the 'costume' after they are done with it. A good idea is to make a competition out of it, something like who will clean up more toys in a specific period of time. Music is always a good addition to cleaning!
It's a process every parent must go through, but it doesn't have to be struggle. The key is to show your children in good manner that even doing chores can be fun and that way to teach them responsibilities starting from an early age. Being a good parent isn't just making your children comply with your every command; it's about teaching them mutual respect and understanding. When that is achieved, your children won't have any issues with doing chores or any other activities around the house, rather they will feel more than happy to help.
Don't forget to check out my other cleaning tips too!
Do you have problems motivating your kids to clean there room? What tip are you going to try?

What does the Polish upgrade say about EM?
Fixed Income Specialist
Summary: Poland's recent FTSE Russell upgrade to developed market status may lead investors to take another look at the emerging market space, but EM troubles are not over yet.
Summer is clearly coming to an end. In the Nordic countries, the days are shorter, the breeze is a few degrees colder, and in Denmark people are lighting candles to ensure a hyggelig autumn.
Investors are also welcoming the new season after an intense summer that saw the bond market appearing to be on the verge of collapse on news of a developing crisis in emerging markets and an intensifying trade war between the US and some its largest trade partners, most notably China.
Fixed income is now at something of a standstill as investors wait to see if thing will worsen further before getting rid of their riskier assets.
It is clear that the lessons imparted by Turkey and Argentina just a few weeks ago were not particularly well-absorbed. Risk sentiment remains carelessly robust as investors seek relative value in lower-hanging fruits within the EM and the high yield spaces.
Their comfort comes from a financial sphere that seems determined to insist all is OK, even within the same EM space that so recently appeared to be coming apart at the seams.
The FTSE Russell has promoted Poland to "developed market" status, the first such new addition to these ranks in nearly a decade. It is certainly true that Poland has been one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe for the past few years, but its economic and fiscal performance has been tied very closely to the European Union's post-financial crisis recovery.
The obvious question here, I think, is whether Poland's developed' status exists upon a strong enough political and economic base to justify the term.
On Monday, and just as Poland was receiving its upgrade, the EU brought the country to court on charges that the right-wing government in Warsaw is violating judicial independence by setting an earlier retirement age for Supreme Court judges. The move was controversial, and even sparked protests in Poland, as some believe that such reforms enable the current regime power to overrule the Polish judiciary.
It is clear that although the country has achieved impressive economic development over the past few years, there are still issues within the political sphere that may cause a reversal, pushing it again towards EM status.
Nevertheless, now that the FTSE Russell has upgraded Poland, a broader base of investors will have access to the country's financial market and this will boost the valuation of Polish sovereigns. The 10-year Polish Zloty-denominated government bond has a yield of 3.22%, down 60 bps from January 2017.
The space that will benefit the most in the medium term is the Polish corporate space as companies will face lower costs of capital, hence we can expect more issuances in this space until the global economic backdrop changes between 2019/2020.
At that point, we fear certain contradictions within EMs will put further pressure on this space; when the economic cycle shifts into recession, EM sovereigns and corporates will be the first casualties.
It is not just Poland that illustrates this point, as even China is currently bringing a valuable lesson to the table.
As many of you already know, one of the main topics within EM this year has been Beijing's intent to deleverage its economy. At the same time, however, we see local governments planning to issue 'special-purpose' bonds totaling $200 billion. These bonds will be issued to fund infrastructure investment amidst a slowing economy. In this case, the worst thing may not be the fact that the Chinese government will increase its overall debt-to-GDP ratio, which already totaled 51% at the end of December 2017, but rather that this debt will mainly be absorbed by Chinese banks as these bonds will provide a low yield and will remain very illiquid, rendering them unappealing to real money.
This will add illiquid government debt to the Chinese financial sector's already weak balance sheet, posing a great threat to the financial system as a whole. If things continue on their present path, however, one could maintain that the current, fragile equilibrium may continue for some time, thus making it more appealing to stay invested rather than waiting for a potentially distant downturn.
In this environment we believe that certain types of bonds allow investors to stay invested while selecting for specific risks while the economic backdrop changes.
Many have been expecting a downturn for some time now, and investors who bet heavily on an equities decline over the past earnings season were hit hard by new highs. This is why it is crucial to enter these types of trade at the right time while remaining invested in more conservative assets which can remain resilient amid a sudden market collapse.
The investment grade space, excluding the BBB space in the US, offers exciting opportunities in keeping with this point of view, but for investors looking for short-term maturities (up to the end of 2019) there might be also opportunities in high yield US and selected EM corporates.
Over the last 12 months, investors have had a lot to contend with, from a tumultuous political environment, to Brexit (or lack of) and the simmering unresolved trade tensions. All this manifesting against a backdrop of business cycle momentum that has weakened sharply, mounting disinflationary pressures and an economic cycle in its last innings.
This overconfident market faces FOMC disappointment
The European Central Bank's Mario Draghi waxed extremely dovish yesterday and the market therefore expects the Federal Reserve's Jay Powell to follow suit tonight and lay out the path for a US rate cut next month.
Why the Italian bonds rally is overdone
The hunt for yield in the bond market has resumed in earnest as investors bet on dovish policy from global central banks. Be wary, however, of the pronounced rally in Italian sovereigns as Rome's European troubles look set to come back with a vengeance in the latter part of this year.

Gerald Clayton – Bells On Sand
Released today on Blue Note Records, "Bells On Sand" is the second album of pianist Gerald Clayton to be released on the label. It focuses on the abstractions and impact of time. Most of the tracks were recorded by Gerald who is playing piano, Rhodes, vibes, and organ, his father John on bass, and drummer Justin Brown. Special guests are Portuguese singer MARO on two tracks (she is set to represent Portugal in this year's Eurovision Song Contest), and his mentor Charles Lloyd on sax on one track.
I think "Bells On Sand" is Gerald's most profound, well-rounded, and intimate record to date. There is a lot of timeless beauty and meditative power right from the start of the record which begins with a bowed bass, supporting the overall elegiac mood of the track "Water's Edge". This very first piece will heal your soul already. It is so fitting to continue with a duo version of the short "Elegia", written by Spanish composer and pianist Federico Dencausse Mompou, Spanish writer Jose Olive Janes, and Spanish violinist and composer Xavier Creixell Turull. The first two also wrote the melancholic "Damunt de tu Només les Flors", one of two tracks with 27-year old singer MARO (Mariana Brito da Cruz Forjaz Secca). She represents another generation here on this record – her beautiful voice and style, sometimes veering towards a whisper, with a heavy dose of saudade, was already heard on Jacob Collier's "Djesse Vol. 2" album.
Gerald also includes two piano solos. Both deal with interpretations of the standard "My Ideal". Whereas "My Ideal 1" is a pretty straight-forward affair, showing Gerald's prowess on the piano and his many ideas of dealing with the melody, the second version offers a more balladic approach with a short Chick Corea-styled intro. It almost turns into chamber music in the second half. Another beauty. There is a much too short Rhodes-induced "That Roy", dedicated to Mister Hargrove who left us much too soon. It's a foray into neo-soul territory, deeply infectious. After a haunting piano, vibes and drums trip on "Rip", singer MARO is back for the wonderful "Just A Dream". There is hope for this year's Eurovision with a brilliant artist like her. This piece, written by Gerald, exudes so much warmth and comfort. It is a meditation.
We get a change in sound, but not in overall mood and atmosphere, with the inclusion of saxophone meister Charles Lloyd on the duo track "Peace Invocation", where Mister Lloyd both shows his ability and versatility of leaving notes out, and at the same time of passionately crying out for something much greater. Gerald leaves us with another piano solo: on the hymn-like "This Is Music Where You're Going My Friends", written by his uncle Jeff Clayton, we are assured that all is not lost. What a scintillatingly witty album. And it's out on vinyl too!

Banff and Canmore do not have fluoride in the water supply. Children under the age of two should use a non-fluoridated brand of toothpaste. Children between the ages of two and five years old should use a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste on a clean toothbrush twice each day. They should be encouraged to spit out any extra fluid after brushing. This part might take time, encouragement, and practice.
The amount of fluoride children ingest between the ages of one and four years old determines whether or not fluorosis occurs later. The most common symptom of fluorosis is white specks on the permanent teeth. Children over the age of eight years old are not considered to be at-risk for fluorosis.

With permission from Childs Own Studio to share in the work load, I am taking up toy making from Children's Drawings. COS calls them "softies" and I will tag my posts as such. However, in keeping with the theme of my website, I'd like to title this series Fuzzy Trees.
If you are interested in a custom toy made from a child's drawing, please Email me with a picture of the drawing for a quote. The toys will be about 14 inches, and depending on complexity run between $45-$65 USD, plus shipping. Here are some of my past Fuzzy Trees.
