Filipino food: Here's how this Southeast Asian cuisine is being elevated to fine dining status in the Philippines
Irene Pyne
Filipino food is something you typically find in the comforts of one's home, but the oft-underappreciated cuisine is now making waves in Manila's burgeoning fine dining scene
At first, Filipino fine dining might seem like a paradox to many locals. They are brought up on the humble yet richly flavoured adobong baboy, or braised pork belly stew, marinated with whole peppercorns, bay leaves and vinegar. Or fried boneless bangus, the Filipino milk fish, which is sliced down the centre – head, eyes and all. The cut exposes the jellylike pewter-grey belly – the best part of the fish, by all accounts. The food is hearty, wholesome and sprawled on your dining table without a starched white cloth. Your corner of the table will inevitably be covered in stains, grains of rice and other signs of a convivial family meal. Today, there are restaurants the world over with "reimagined" Filipino cuisine, sourcing ingredients locally and using modern or Western cooking techniques.
According to the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) estimate, there are more than 10 million overseas Filipinos, around 10 per cent of the population, living permanently or temporarily in another country. So, when one thinks about the rise of Filipino cuisine – and that of Filipino fine dining – it should not come as such a surprise.

Toyo Eatery in Makati, Manila is run by chef-owner Jordy Navarra. The restaurant's signature dish, Garden Vegetables, is inspired by the Filipino folk song Bahay Kubo about a garden with 18 different vegetables. Toyo, named after the Filipino word for soy sauce, also offers banana catsup on its menu. Navarra says, "Banana catsup, a local invention, is a condiment that's so uniquely Filipino. The idea for our dish was to give this condiment its due credit. We make our banana catsup from fermented bananas and banana vinegar. It's then served with Tortang Talong (aubergine omelette) with alternating layers of shrimp and crabmeat."
Navarra, who trained under experienced overseas chefs, opened Toyo Eatery in 2016. The restaurant was awarded the Miele "One to Watch" Award for Asia in 2018, and signifies the growing popularity of Filipino cuisine. "A lot of people in the Philippines are fostering this bigger support for all things locally produced," Navarra says. "This is seen in design, art, fashion, and even food."
"I would like to think that Filipino cuisine being on the up-and-up has something to do with Filipino diners being more aware, and also being more outwardly supportive of what the country has to offer. That and diners in general are curious and open to trying things that might not have been on their radar before."
Chef Jose Luis 'Chele' Gonzalez and his culinary partner Carlos Villaflor
Spanish-born Jose Luis 'Chele' Gonzalez takes practices that have been 'lost to the modern world' and brings them into Gallery by Chele
The main dining room at Gallery by Chele is beautifully designed
Tortang takoyaki
Ube tacos with octopus, mushrooms, pacit-pacitan
Gallery by Chele, located in Taguig, Manila, is another modern fine-dining restaurant serving what it refers to as "essentialist cuisine". Chef Jose Luis "Chele" Gonzalez and his culinary partner Carlos Villaflor use ingredients, techniques and traditions inspired by the Philippines. Gonzalez travels around the Philippines and Southeast Asia, uncovering common local ingredients and the traditional cooking methods of farmers, fishermen and home cooks.
Spanish-born Gonzalez takes practices that have been "lost to the modern world" and brings them into the beautifully designed 55-seater restaurant. Some might see this as some kind of cultural appropriation – adopting elements of a minority culture in a Western setting. But there is something respectful about the work at Gallery by Chele that permeates into the food, drink and interior design, and the fine dining setting no longer seems like a fussy Western concept.
Filipino industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue, who is known for using natural and local materials, designed Gallery by Chele's modern ergonomic furniture, and the result is an inviting look. The menu includes Ube Tacos, a violet yam often used in sweet dishes such as Halo Halo. Here, the chef uses the flavour to host octopus and local mushrooms. Tortang Takoyaki is a Japanese twist on the Filipino aubergine omelette. The tortang is rolled into takoyaki balls, with squid ink and pinakurat, a spiced natural coconut vinegar. Villaflor, who was mentored by Gonzalez, says, "I want Filipinos to be proud of their cuisine, and in the process, change how they eat."
When it comes to Filipino fine dining, Toyo's Navarra says, "Nowadays, fine dining doesn't necessarily equate to being formal dining. It's gone beyond the old world idea of white linen-covered tables and expensive outsourced ingredients. The formality isn't non-existent, it's just not required any more. A fine-dining experience doesn't have to be fussy. It can just be about the food and the service."
Filipino fine dining may be flourishing, but it hasn't hit Singapore's dining scene or the rest of Southeast Asia just yet. It's a pity, because it would certainly fit right in with the various Michelin-star restaurants and global cuisines that currently call the red dot a second home.

Dandelions are notorious for their recovery and speed at which they spread and take over your lawn. In other words, it only takes one to conquer your lawn. It's a type of weed that will continue to grow and multiply faster the longer you wait to kill them – due to its fluffy and floating seeds. Dandelions will push out grass and other plants, as well as drain water and nutrients away from surrounding plants. This can cause weakening root growth and may lead to brown patches.
Picking dandelions by hand seems like the easy answer, but they frequently grow back – especially if you're cutting them down with a lawnmower. At Weed-A-Way, our FIESTA treatment is an effective dandelion killer and weed control product. Fiesta is made using a mineral based ingredient that is effective, safe, and environmentally-friendly. Its strength is just as potent as traditional treatments without the use of any harmful chemicals. This natural product provides immediate results against unwanted weeds and visible results within days. After the spray is absorbed, your family and pets are safe to walk on your lawn.

Doomwatch (1972) | When Tigon did a Quatermass with the TV sci-fi classic
When the BBC1 TV series Doomwatch began hitting the headlines in the early 1970s and shows like On the Buses started heading into cinemas, Tigon's Tony Tenser rushed out this big-screen spin off in the hope it would become the new Quatermass. But this 'Chilling Story from Today's headline' was not the success that Tigon had hoped for, and ended up sitting on the shelf following its disappointing run in UK cinemas.
An ecological nightmare gone berserk!
A year after an oil tanker sinks off the west coast of England, Doomwatch scientist Dr Del Shaw (Ian Bannen) heads to the isolated island of Balfe to investigate the effects on marine life and discovers the local population have also been affected, creating physical abnormalities and turning the men-folk aggressive. Seeking out the aid of local teacher (Judy Geeson), Shaw then finds he has a battle on his hands trying to convince the locals he wants to help the, while also trying to get the Ministry of Defence and a chemical corporation to accept responsibility for the accident.
Director Peter Sasdy (Countess Dracula), cinematographer Ken Talbot (Hands of the Ripper) and production designer Colin Grimes (Nothing But the Night) do what they can with a script by Clive Exton (10 Rillington Place), that was part thriller, part horror, part ecological drama, and was shot on location around Polkerris and Falmouth in Cornwall and at Pinewood in October 1971.
But there isn't enough depth, action or sense of menace to make it work, which also lessens the impact of Tom Smith's effective makeup. Even the classic Doctor Who serial The Green Death, which used the mutations vs multinationals premise, is way more effective; and we all know how brilliant The Wicker Man turned out, a film which also followed an official's investigation of a closed island community.
It was disappointing for fans of the TV show to see regulars John Paul and Simon Oates taking a back seat in the film, and their replacements are not that much cop either. Ian Bannen comes off as overly shouty and unempathic, while Judy Geeson seems like a fish out of water as the mainland school teacher who has no connection with the locals. At least she doesn't eat their fish!
Future Bond star Geoffrey Keen and veteran actor George Sanders put in safe, but dull cameos, but its Shelagh Fraser who brings some unlikely comic relief as the nosey local who possesses the only phone on the island. And keen-eyed viewers will catch future EastEnders' star Pam St Clement playing one of the villagers.
Doomwatch has been digitally restored for a Blu-ray and DVD region free release by Screenbound Pictures, available from 20 June 2016

The Blood Harvest (2016) | Plot-holes and poverty row production values plague this low-budget serial killer slasher
Do not judge them for what they reap…
Belfast detective Jack Chaplin (Robert Render) is fired over his crazy theories that supernatural forces (namely vampires) are behind a string of horrific murders which left victims with one eye scooped out and their Achilles tendons sliced. Hooking up with his former partner, Detective Hatcher (Jean-Paul Van de Velde), Jack then sets out to uncover the truth and halt rising body count…
In fusing horror with procedural crime, you'd expect this to be a Northern Irish take on the giallo in the tradition of Lucio Fulci or Dario Argento. Well, the attacks (spoiler alert: by two psychos in a banged-up old 1950s car sporting welders masks) are certainly on par with those shock merchants, but the violence is particularly nasty, lacking visual style and finesse, and there's a lot of talky bits in dimly lit rooms. But it's the big final reveal that will have you pressing rewind on the DVD to make sure you're not imagining things. It's really out of this world – literally!
Plot-holes and poverty row production values aside, fans of extended scenes of senseless violence will get a thrill out of this bloody harvest, which does offer up some effective SFX (which scored a gong at the Freak Show Horror Festival in Florida last year). But aside from some atmospheric location set-ups, the pacing, direction and acting reminded me of the kind of homemade movies that I used to make with my university mates.
This is George Clarke's sixth feature under his Yellow Fever Productions banner and I'd like to shake his hand for keeping the indie film spirit alive. As he says on his website, 'It isn't a crime to follow your dreams'. And it certainly isn't. But if he's hoping to become Northern Ireland's answer to Roger Corman, Jim Wynorski or David DeCoteau, then he might think about upping his game next time round.
BTW: Britain's Got Talent fans might recognise one of the victims as Matt McCreary, who pranked Simon Cowell in 2015 with a free-running routine.
The Blood Harvest is out on DVD in the UK from Left Films, which includes a making of featurette, bloopers and trailers.

Shark Killer (2015) | It's a bargain bin Romancing the Stone with fins
Shark Killer opens with a cool graphic novel animated opening credit sequence and a comical Jaws II meets Piranha scene in which a bunch of American teens become shark food, before our square-jawed hero Chase Walker (Derek Theler) saves – then shags – the girl (think Bond as a muscled jock).
It certainly sets the scene for a tongue-in-cheek adventure in which Chase jets off to Cape Town in South Africa where he's coerced by his obnoxious adopted (and therefore less attractive) brother Jake (Paul du Toit) into retrieving a priceless diamond swallowed by a Great White. And helping Chase in his quest is local beauty Jasmine (A Town Called Eureka's Erica Cerra), who looks like a cross between Jessica Alba and Courtney Cox, but sounds like she's swallowed a frog.
Next stop, a bargain bin Romancing the Stone meets buddy comedy where gags like 'This isn't flipper we're talking about' fall flat at every turn, there's little in the way of action (apart from a couple of well-choreographed fight scenes that show off Theler action man skills) and practically nil shark carnage (which is what we came for).
Instead we have just three CGI shark attacks (one on a fluffy white terrier) amid lots of flirty talk between Theler and Cerra. Now, they're certainly a fit-looking couple, but they're no Michael Douglas or Kathleen Turner – and du Toit is no Danny De Vito either.
Doing his best Bond-style villain, Arnold Vosloo is pretty cool, especially when his drug-dealing diamond collector takes his final revenge after being almost been burned to a crisp in an explosion. But, ultimately, even he can't save this sinker.

Burke & Hare (1972) | A Hammer-esque sexploitation curio
The pimps and the prostitutes and the body-snatchers. The brothels and dens of iniquity!
In 19th-century Edinburgh, Irish immigrants William Burke (Derren Nesbitt) and William Hare (Glynn Edwards), discover there's money to be made supplying fresh corpses to noted College of Surgeons anatomist Dr Robert Knox (Harry Andrews). But when demand starts outstripping supply, the greedy resurrection men turn to preying on drunken prostitutes and vagabonds. However, the death of a club-footed simpleton and a young woman's disappearance proves to be their undoing…
Gallows humour and saucy British sitcom-styled shenanigans make strange bedfellows in this 1972 British period horror yarn. In retelling the story of the infamous Burke and Hare murders that took place in Edinburgh in 1828, director Vernon Sewell, who had just made two horrors back-to-back (The Blood Beast Terror and Curse of the Crimson Altar), chose, unwisely – as it turns out – to take the sexploitation route for his final fright flick. Littered with penis jokes and gratuitous nipple flashing (even in the morgue – how disrepectful), it should have been called Confessions of a Body Snatcher.
Although Harry Andrews gives a terrifically hammy performance as medical pioneer Knox, playing him as a bullish obsessive gleefully carving up the dodgy cadavers while turning a blind eye to their provenance, Burke and Hare are played strictly for laughs. Thick in mentality and in their 'Oirish' accents, they eminded me of Stan and Jack from On The Buses. But instead of pulling birds, they are the henpecked husbands of the film's real villains – their shrewish wives, played by Dee Shenderey and Yootha Joyce (who was married to Edwards until their divorce in 1968), who think nothing of killing old ladies for 'a wee dram'.
The comedy thriller's side-story, involving three medical students and a local brothel, is also an awkward mix of Benny Hill slapstick and whodunit, especially when Alan Tucker's young doctor in the love goes in search of Françoise Pascal's missing Marie. Yutte Stensgaard (who once guested in On The Buses) also mysteriously disappears – but it's not clear if she ended up as another victim or just got left on the cutting room floor. One minute she's there, the next she's gone.
The theme tune is by the legendary Liverpudlian band, The Scaffold – who are best known for Lily the Pink. But their bawdy title song, which features the slightly unsavory lyrics 'Beware they're out to rape you and drape you in white' sits uncomfortably alongside the rest of the film's music score – which sounds like something out of an old silent movie during the brothel burning scene.
Burke & Hare is a misfire whose only merit is in seeing some fine character actors having a lark in period garb on some unconvincing Twickenham Studio sets.
THE UK RELEASE
Burke & Hare gets a UK release on Blu-ray and DVD from Odeon Entertainment as part of their OEG Classic Movies collection from 4 May 2015, featuring the film in its original 1:66.1 aspect ratio and with Dolby Digital mono sound (note: the opening title theme is rather scratchy, but the rest of the audio track is perfectly fine).
AND ANOTHER THING…
When it comes to screen adaptations of the Burke and Hare story, few stand out – except maybe John Gilling's The Flesh and the Fiends (1960), with George Rose and Donald Pleasance playing the body snatchers and Peter Cushing in Knox role; while Robert Wise's The Body Snatcher (1945), the last film to feature Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff together, drew heavily on the West Port murder case, but was actually based on a Robert Louis Stevenson short story. Back in 2010, meanwhile, John Landis took a comic stab at the material with Brit favourites Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis playing the rogues. But has anyone actually seen it?

Simon Killer (2012) | Antonio Campos' psychological thriller is as empty and soulless as the character being put under the lens
SO WHAT'S GOING ON?
Alone and adrift in Paris, American college graduate Simon (Brady Corbet) tries to get over his recent break-up with his girlfriend by taking solace in the company of prostitute, Victoria (Mati Diop). But after Simon finally wins her trust, it's not long before he starts looking for a replacement in his affections.
AND IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS
One of the basic rules of filmmaking is that an audience must be able to sympathise with the characters – no matter how repellent they may be. But in this kitchen sink drama masquerading as psychological thriller, there is little to empathise in the character of Simon. Not that there is anything wrong with the acting, as Brady Corbet gives his all playing the sleazy little toe-rag who flits from one woman to another like a magpie in search of a new nest. What this film lacks is soul, and that's down to the story, the direction and the camerawork.
With its cramped Parisian apartment setting and two central characters, director Antonio Campos' Simon Killer is reminiscent of Bertolucci's erotic dramas Last Tango in Paris and The Dreamers – but minus the kinky sex, big star names and colourful period settings. With his incredibly slow pans and headless framing, Campos strives to be arty in a Jean-Luc Godard/existential kind of way, but he fails to deliver. And as for the story, well there isn't one and there's no killer to speak of. For me, Campos' psychological thriller is as empty and soulless as the character being put under the lens.
THE RELEASE
Eureka Entertainment's The Masters of Cinema Series release includes a Blu-ray presentation (progressive presentation on the DVD); behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with Antonio Campos, producers Sean Durkin and Josh Mond, and Brady Corbet, trailer and booklet. Also included is Campos' Palme d'Or nominated short film, The Last 15, which is actually way more interesting than the feature.
A Maybe Miss – because of all of the above.

Jewish shops in the Lvov Ghetto
Lvov was the third largest Jewish community in pre-war Poland. Prior to 1939 nearly 110,000 Jews lived in the town. Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939.
On 17 September 1939 the Soviets invaded Poland too. The Soviet invasion was a result of the Hitler - Stalin Pact. Lvov capitulated to the Soviet army and remained under Soviet occupation until 30 June 1941. During this time the number of Jewish residents in Lwow increased to 160,000. Around 100,000 Jews living in German occupied Poland fled to Lvov and its environs.
Under the Soviet occupation, Jews officially had equal status with other nationalities. Some collaborated with the Soviet authorities, others were persecuted. In April 1940 hundreds of Lvov Jews and refugees were deported to Siberia when they refused to take up Soviet citizenship. Jewish political activists were arrested.
German forces occupied Lvov on 30 June 1941, following the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June. The Ukrainian population celebrated the German occupation, by installing banners and garlands.
Lvov was renamed Lemberg and Dr. Otto Wächter became District Governor, and SS- Oberfuhrer Oberg, was the first SSPF, followed by Katzmann and Diehm.
The ghetto 1942
Immediately after this occupation Polish and Ukrainian anti-Semites (of whom the Ukrainians formed the majority) organized a pogrom in Lvov, together with members of the Einsatzgruppe C.
Ukrainian nationalists informed the population of the town that these mass executions were retribution for the mass executions carried out in Lvov's prisons by the NKVD (People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs) during the last days of Soviet occupation.
The Ukrainians accused the Jews of helping the NKVD with the arrest and execution of "Ukrainian patriots". In truth, the majority of those killed were Polish nationalists and intellectuals, although there were also Ukrainians and Jews among the victims. During the four week pogrom nearly 4,000 Jews were killed in Lvov.
Some of these mass executions were carried out by the Einsatzgruppen. Groups of Polish professors from Lvov universities were also killed. In July 1941 Lvov's Jews had to wear a badge with a blue Star of David.
Frank, Wächter, and German leaders tour Lvov in 1943
In the same month the Judenrat was established. Its first chairman was the lawyer Josef Parnes. He was executed by the Gestapo in November 1941 for his refusal to turn over Jews for forced labour. His successor was Henryk Landsberg.
On 25 July 1941 Ukrainian nationalists organized the next pogrom in Lvov - the so called "Petlura Days" (named after Semen Petlura, hetman of Ukraine at the end of WW1), who organized anti-Jewish pogroms in this country. After WW1 he was killed by a Jew in France, during the "Petlura Days" nearly 2,000 Jews were killed in Lvov.
On 2 October 1941 the first 500 Jewish men were recruited as forced labour for the German Armament Works (Deutsche Ausrüstungswerke - DAW Lemberg) in Lvov. They were employed constructing a work camp on Janowska Street.
Otto Wächter
On 8 November 1941, the German civilian administration issued the order to establish a ghetto in Lvov. All Jews were forced to move into the ghetto before 15 December 1941. The German police organized selections on Peltewna Street during this time. Nearly 5,000 elderly and sick Jews were selected and shot. This "action" was called "Action under the bridge". At this time there were between 110,000 and 120,000 Jews in the ghetto.
The first deportation of Jews from the Lvov Ghetto to the Belzec death camp was organized between 16 March and 1 April 1942. Prior to deportation the forced labourers were registered in the ghetto. Around 15,000 Lvov Jews were deported at this time to Belzec. Most were elderly and religious people, and women with children. They were assembled in the courtyard of the Sobieski School and after selection they were taken to Kleparow railway station, near the Janowska camp, from where the deportation trains departed for Belzec.
Elderly Jew begging for food in Lvov
Officially this action was called "action against antisocial elements". Together with the deportations from the Lublin ghetto, which were carried out at the same time, this transport from the Lvov Ghetto was the first one during Aktion Reinhard.
After this deportation around 86,000 Jews officially remained in the ghetto. There were also a large number of "illegal" Jews in the ghetto. Workshops were set up. Large numbers of Jews worked for the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and the German civil administration outside the ghetto.
On 24/25 June 1942 the "Great Round-Up" (Großrazzia) was carried out in the ghetto by the Germans. Around 2,000 Jews were taken to the Janowska camp. Only 120 of them were selected for forced labour. Others were executed on the "Sands" (Piaski) near the camp.
Between 10 and 31 August 1942 the "Great Action" was carried out. Prior to this action hundreds of forced labourers were taken to Janowska and to the small work camp on Czwartakow Street. During the "Great Action" between 40,000 and 50,000 Jews were deported to Belzec. The assembly points for the deportations were on Teodor Square, at Sobieski School and on the square in front of the Janowska camp.
Jewish workers reporting for forced labour
Nearly 1,600 men were selected for forced labour and they were concentrated at the camp on Janowska Street. Other people were deported daily from Kleparow railway station to Belzec.
About 1,000 people were shot in the ghetto, among them the children from the orphanage and patients from the Jewish hospitals. The round-ups in the ghetto were organized by the SS, Ukrainian and Jewish police. On 1 September 1942, following the last deportations, the Gestapo publicly hanged Henryk Landsberg, chairman of Lvov's Judenrat, and Jewish policemen. They were no longer needed after the "Great Action".
At the beginning of September 1942 there were still around 65,000 Jews in the ghetto, among them around 15,000 "illegals". Some Jews hid in the sewers of Lvov and with help from local Poles survived until liberation.
Of special note is the heroic efforts of Leopold Socha, who helped save the Chiger and Margulies families, and others who hid the sewers from July 1943, until Lvov was liberated. Leopold Socha carried on looking after the families bringing them food, and he led them to safety, when the Soviets occupied the city, he died in 1946 in a road accident.
The heavily guarded ghetto was surrounded by barbed wire. The living conditions were extremely primitive with lack of water and medical aid and overcrowded accommodation. In late autumn 1942 a typhus epidemic spread throughout the ghetto. At the beginning of November all Jews were "barracked", according to profession. Only people with work cards could stay officially in the ghetto.
Female forced laborers in Lvov
On 18 November 1942 the SS carried out a selection. Around 5,000 "unproductive" Jews were arrested and deported to Belzec. The Jewish hospital was liquidated and its head, Dr Kurzrock, was sent to the Janowska camp.
Between 5 and 7 January 1943 the next "action" was carried out. 15,000-20,000 Jews, including the last members of the Judenrat, were taken to the "Sands" where they were executed. The Germans proclaimed, that only Jews with a work permit could remain within the ghetto which was then reclassified as a forced labour camp. The Judenrat was dissolved. During this "action" the SS set fire to houses with the purpose of flushing Jews out of hiding. Many Jews were burnt to death.
The work camp within the former ghetto only existed until 1 June 1943. There were still "illegal" Jews remaining after the selections. During the final liquidation of the labour camp within the ghetto the Jews organized an armed resistance, killing and wounding several policemen. In addition to the SS, German and Ukrainian police units of the Hitlerjugend participated in the liquidation of the ghetto.
The SS and police blew up the ghetto buildings and set them on fire when they met resistance. They did the same to bunkers where large numbers of Jews hid.
Around 7,000 Jews were taken to Janowska camp and after selection most were shot on the "Sands". Probably some of the group were deported to Sobibor. 3,000 Jews were killed in the ghetto during its liquidation.
Prisoners in the Janowska camp
The last of Lvov's Jews were gathered at Janowska, where they were executed on 18 November 1943, during the Aktion Erntefest. When on 26 July 1944 the Soviet Army entered Lvov, only 200-300 Jews had survived in hiding in the town and its environs.
One of Lvov's most famous residents was Simon Wiesenthal who, with his wife Cyla, was moved from the ghetto to Janowska. Towards the middle of 1942, Wiesenthal and his wife were assigned to forced labour at the Eastern Railway Repair Shops.
Simon Wiesenthal's mother, aged 63, was deported in August 1942 to Belzec, and his wife's mother was shortly thereafter shot by a Ukrainian police auxiliary on the steps of her house in the ghetto.
Simon Wiesenthal survived the horror of Janowska and imprisonment in Groß-Rosen, Buchenwald, and Mauthausen. After liberation Simon Wiesenthal dedicated his life to bringing Nazis guilty of war crimes to justice.
He played a leading part in the arrest and trial of Franz Paul Stangl, commandant of Treblinka, as well as bringing to justice other Aktion Reinhard leaders like Hermann Höfle and Ernst Lerch.

Another step toward Joomla! 1.6 Beta
Many current Joomla! users are eager to experience all the new features promised for Joomla! 1.6. Yet that won't happen until Joomla! 1.6 is in beta. And, in order to get to the beta status, there is one more Alpha release for us to test.
Last Sunday (10/25) Joomla! Development Team put Joomla! 1.6 Alpha 2 on the Web for everyone willing to assist in testing or familiarize herself/himself with all the new and improved functionalities. If you are interested in trying out this Alpha 2 release, please be warned that it is only for testing purpose and you shouldn't use it on a production system.
Learn about Joomla! 1.6 Access Control
It is now well known that the single most important improvement in Joomla! 1.6 is the newly designed and implemented Access Control. This is also the most discussed and expected feature for everyone using Joomla!
With Joomla! 1.6 Alpha available for people to conduct tests and get familiar with, there come a couple of good introduction articles on this much anticipated ACL feature. The first one, ACL Tutorial for Joomla! 1.6, was written by a Joomla! user and forum moderator, Mark Dexter. In the article he sort of establish some conventions how to describe the ACL mechanism in diagrams. These conventions were picked up by Andrew Eddie, a Joomla! Master Developer in the Core Team, when he wrote his Introducing the new permissions in Joomla! 1.6.
Mark's article focuses more on how the Access Control is presented in the system, while Andrew tries to explain how it is in action. They are both very helpful read in understanding this new Access Control in Joomla! 1.6.

Help Test Joomla! 1.5.15
Joomla! 1.5.15 is coming! But, before it can be officially released, Joomla! Team needs you to help test it. The main purpose of this test release is to determine whether propsed fixes indeed allow Joomla! to run on PHP 5.3 correctly. The other reason is to make sure fixes for TinyMCE don't introduce additional bugs into Joomla! system.
In order to achieve those goals, three groups of users are needed: (1) those who use PHP 5.3 to see how this version runs on PHP 5.3; (2) those who don't use PHP 5.3 to see whether any things are broken; (3) those who use TinyMCE as the editor to check that bug fixes work as expected.
Since this is a test release, it should only be used for testing purposes, and should not run on any production environments.
Download for this test release is available at http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/11122/44166/Joomla_1.5.15-Test-Full_Package.zip.
In case you find any problems related to PHP 5.3, please report them at the tracker: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=18008. For problems related to TinyMCE, please report them at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=17438.

Action Taken Against Healthcare Employees for Fraud and Privacy Breaches
Home » Healthcare Data Privacy » Action Taken Against Healthcare Employees for Fraud and Privacy Breaches
Posted By HIPAA Journal on Sep 30, 2016
Earlier this month, New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced that four former nursing home aides had been arrested and charged with felonies and misdemeanors relating to the taking of photographs and videos of nursing home residents.
Mathew Reynolds and Angel Rood, former employees of Pontiac Nursing Home in Oswego, were charged with Endangering the Welfare of an Incompetent or Physically Disabled Person in the First Degree and Willful Violation of the Public Health Law after taking demeaning pictures of residents. According to the announcement, "Several of the pictures allegedly depict the defendants lying in bed with a resident and touching the resident in a taunting and abusive manner."
In a separate case, Austin Powell and Brittany Bolster were charged with Endangering the Welfare of an Incompetent or Physically Disabled Person in the First Degree, in addition to Willful Violation of the Public Health Law for offenses committed while employed at St. Lukes Health Services in Oswego. In this case, videos were taken of the pair verbally and physically tormenting a resident.
The practice of taking photographs and videos of nursing home residents in degrading poses, and sharing those images and videos with others via social media, was recently highlighted by a ProPublica investigation.
Following the publication of the ProPublica report, the CMS vowed to crack down on the practice and took steps to improve oversight of nursing homes.
In New York, the practice will not be tolerated. According to Schneiderman, "We will keep working to prosecute the abuse and neglect of nursing home residents, and punish those responsible to the fullest extent of the law."
Hospital Patients Targeted by Identity Thieves in Connecticut
Jamila Williams-Stevenson and Loretta Coburn have been accused of orchestrating an identity theft ring using patient data obtained from Yale-New Haven Hospital. According to federal investigators, several patients of the hospital have had their identities stolen, although in total, more than 20 individuals have been targeted. Williams-Stevenson has been accused of using her position at the hospital as a companion/sitter to steal patient data.
Once Social security numbers of patients had been obtained, the pair allegedly changed the victims' addresses and started applying for credit cards in the victims' names. The identity theft scheme allegedly spanned two years.
Williams-Stevenson has been charged with Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft, while Coburn has been charged with Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud.
Woman Pleads Guilty to Taking Over Hospital Patients' Bank Accounts
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. has announced that Krystle Steed, a former employee of New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, plead guilty to using patient information to commit fraud. Between January 2014 and February 2015, Steed used information stolen from more than 80 emergency room patients and took control of their bank accounts. She also obtained goods from luxury retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue using the victims' credit accounts. Steed allegedly purchased more than $300,000 worth of goods and attempted to obtain goods worth a further $1 million.
Steed used patient data that were stolen by her husband Kyle Steed, who was also employed at Lenox Hill Hospital. Kyle Steed was convicted of Attempted Grand Larceny in the First Degree earlier this year. Krystle Steed has pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Identity Theft in the First Degree, and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fourth Degree and will be sentenced on October 13, 2016.

Journal of Family and Economic Issues
This review article examines the progress and impact of the Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) between 1988–2007. Over the past 20 years, JFEI has become a major journal publishing articles on the relationship between families and economic systems. JFEI contributed to both the economic and family studies disciplines by publishing articles that explore the interface of these two disciplines. Between 1988 and 2007, JFEI published articles on a variety of themes not often found in other economic or family studies journals such as family resource management, consumer attitudes and behaviors, and economic issues and family relationships. Other unique characteristics of JFEI include many collaborative multidisciplinary studies and many studies analyzing international or cross-cultural samples.

Sport Football Melbourne Heart refuse to guarantee Aloisi's job
6:17pm, Dec 16, 2013 Updated: 11:01pm, Dec 16
Melbourne Heart refuse to guarantee Aloisi's job
Melbourne Heart chief executive Scott Munn has refused to guarantee coach John Aloisi will see out the A-League season.
Ten rounds into the current campaign, the Heart are still searching for their first win after going down 2-1 to Sydney FC on Sunday to heap more pressure on the coach.
Asked if he could guarantee Aloisi would remain coach for the rest of the season, Munn said the 37-year-old mentor would come under scrutiny.
"I don't think I'm in a position where I can come out and make any of those statements," he told Fox Sports on Monday.
"For us we will continue to work with everyone in the club and continue to analyse each position just as we do mine and the board looks at everyone.
"John is absolutely focused on achieving and that's what our goal is as well."
The Heart created a glut of chances in Sunday's game and had come into the match looking to build on a dramatic 3-3 draw with Adelaide and an impressive 1-1 result against the reigning premiers Western Sydney last week.
But Munn said the gutsy performances count for nothing, with the Heart rooted to the bottom of the table.
"We're not happy with the results," he said.
"The admirable draws, the near losses, they're not acceptable. We're in a results game.
"John knows that we're looking for results and the entire club do."
Sunday's defeat was the sixth loss this campaign for the Heart, who continued their woeful record on the road having not won outside Victoria since December 2011.
Munn said he understands the increasing frustration of fans who are calling for Aloisi's head but insists the club would not act in a rash manner.
"I can tell you as a person who loves the club and attends every game I want to win every game," he said.
"So that pain they feel, I feel.
"There are a lot of clubs in this league who are quick to fire coaches and that's not what we do. We'll continue to give John every support to achieve."
Munn defended under-fire skipper Harry Kewell, who's horrendous penalty miss on Sunday had fans and players alike in disbelief.
"Harry's been an absolute professional and he was devastated after the game," he said.
"But I think it shows the athlete that he is that he missed that penalty and continued at the level he did."
The Touchline: Harry Kewell's penalty shocker


NEW VIRUS DESTROYS HARDWARE A new virus found recently is capable of burning the CPU of some computers and even causing damage to the motherboard. Yes, it's true, this virus damages the hardware of your computer. The virus, called w32.torch, uses the winbond w83781d chip, present in most modern motherboards, which is responsible for controlling the speed of the cpu and system fans. The infection takes place using the well-known Microsoft DCOM net-trap Vulnerability, and when installed, the virus spreads to other computers in the local network using this method. Reverse-engineering the virus code, we find no evidence of code other than that responsible for the CPU burnout. The virus turns off the high temperature detection in the BIOS (already disabled by default) and then slowly decreases the speed of the fans, leading the system to a deadly increase of the internal temperature. If You feel that your computer is becoming "quiet", it's better to check it out because it may be stopping, and you may have only a few minutes left to disconnect it. The virus contains the text "Moscow Dominates – out/27/03" which is shown in the tray of some machines based on their IP address, perhaps indicating Soviet origin. There is no payload set to activate on this date, but it may be an indication that something is supposed to happen on this day. Some antiviruses already detect it, check if yours is up to date.


When dealing with strategy issues, people often have different perceptions of the situation. Unknowingly, they employ different strategic thinking styles, which lead them to different strategic assessments and potential solutions, This can be enriching, but can also result in misunderstanding and internal conflict.
The Strategist Profiler® is a comprehensive online tool for mapping people's strategic thinking styles. It measures each person's preferred approaches to understanding and resolving strategic issues. The Strategist Profiler can be employed to identify potential strategic blind spots, as well as strategic thinking style conflicts between individuals and units.

Sakatia Lodge is a great value beach property, away from the hustle and bustle of busy Nosy Be. Situated on the southern-side on the island of Nosy Sakatia, this highly popular lodge is a favourite with divers.
The lodge has four nature bungalows, four ocean view bungalows, a private family bungalow and a beachfront villa. Each room is simple in design with an en-suite bathroom and private terrace. All rooms have hot and cold running water and a ceiling fan, but the beachfront villa also benefits from air conditioning. Electricity is available between 9am-2pm and 5pm – 1am every day.The beach can be tidal, but a permanent sandy area around the lodge provides a place to relax and sunbathe at all times of the day.
Meals are eaten in the open air restaurant, adjacent to the bar area. Breakfast is a buffet and the dinner menu is set – do let us know about any allergies/dislikes in advance. The food prepared is organic, fresh and locally sourced.
One of the main attractions of the lodge is the excellent dive centre, run by the brilliant instructor Jacques. It offers numerous NAUI dive courses and fun dives at dive sites within the house reef and further afield around the Nosy Be archipelago. Excellent snorkelling can also be enjoyed off the beach in the house reef – the seabed shelves extremely gradually. Other activities include exploration of the island villages, kayaking, pirogue tours of the island with a picnic lunch, quad-biking or horse-riding on Nosy Be and other island excursions.
In season, excursions can be arranged to see whales (later July to October in this area) and even whale-sharks (September into December). Ask us for details.
Access to the lodge is by speedboat from the island of Nosy Be (approximately 15 minutes).
'Hi Derek, I've been meaning to email you. It was incredible, and more than lived up to expectations. I'm still a bit overwhelmed by it to be honest. In terms of wildlife, i had a bit of a mental list of things i'd love to see, and we saw everything plus more, most of which in the first few days!
Whilst we were away i was thinking of feedback for you. It was definitely the experience of a lifetime and it's really wanted to make me travel more having not been out of Europe for about 6 years - though i need to start saving. I'm incredibly glad you suggested the alternative itinerary to the original one... we saw so much,and it seemed like the perfect balance between busily doing things everyday at the beginning, to chilling out at the end, which i'll come on to.
Val, our guide was incredible. He was so helpful, and always went the extra mile. We have his email address, but i wondered if you could email his manager to say thank you, and just how much we enjoyed it and his organisation? Saying bye to him felt like saying bye to a new friend! On our last drive, Rachel wanted to see a local primary school if possible as she's a teacher, so she can show the children what schools there are like. Val arranged at the last minute for us to be shown round a school and introduced us to a teacher. It was little touches like that that were special. At times it felt a bit much having a driver, a general guide, and the park guide all for us, but i can see that it is needed.... and things like this made me realised why it does actually cost a lot to visit the country, which i think was my first question for you!
[Iharana] Bush camp - everything was amazing, but definitely worth saying how incredible the picnic on the top of the Tsingy was to watch the sunset - it was a complete surprise and a great experience!
Antoremba Lodge - I'm actually glad we didn't spend longer than 2 nights here, though because we were shattered from doing so much, it was a good chill spot for 2 nights. It's beautiful, but we definitely preferred the 'vibe' of Sakatia Lodge for our final 7 nights. Partly because Sakatia is much more set up for activities as it has its own dive centre, partly because of location - as Sakatia has more still, warmer waters due to it's protection form the elements, clearer waters and turtles that live outside the hotel! If anyone else was doing a similar itinerary, i'd definitely recommend Sakatia over Antoremba, it just seems better connected and well equipped for activities.
I hope that's helpful, and if you have any follow up questions, do just ask. I just want to say thanks again Derek, it really was incredible, and just writing this makes me so happy (and sad to be back home!) - i can't explain how perfect the itinerary was due to your knowledge.
'We had a wonderful time in Madagascar and the great majority of things worked out very well. The diving, transfers, food and lodging on the trip to Sakatia was very good, went off without hitch and we really enjoyed the lodge there, and the people. In fact we got our advanced diver certificates.
Some of the lodges we not of a great standard, notably the one in Kirindy which was very dirty ( full of litter which they mostly cleaned up once we pointed it out). Also showers were cold. We do not mind roughing it but these place advertise warm showers which were absent. Food was really good every where especially chips!!
All in all we enjoyed the trip a great deal and we pleased with the guides from Za tours, no cancellations there and they were very willing and able to reschedule our trips and destinations.
The perfect way to end a tiring trip. Just heaven away from the busy Nosy Be. Everything to hand. Great food with great staff. Well organised and according to Ron a really top class dive school. The canoe trip round the island and beach lunch in the local village enabled us to support the locals and at the same time have a really great experience.

Friday Night Block Party As Volleyball Sweeps Stony Brook
PDF Box Score
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — On a night where they finished with the same amount of kills as their opponent (37), the Seminoles showed their scoring versatility as No. 25 Florida State (3-2) used 12.5 blocks and six aces to post a 25-21, 25-14, 25-23 sweep over Stony Brook (1-8) on Friday night in front of 927 fans at Tully Gym.
Of the 12.5 blocks, the Noles were led by nine from junior Taryn Knuth, who moved into eighth place in FSU career history with 332 assisted blocks, and now is 11th with 386 total blocks. Fellow junior Deja Williams ended with a career-high-tying eight blocks, as the Seminole defensive wall was guarded by six different players that recorded at least one block in the match.
"It was a good win, and we wanted to put some pressure on some of the younger players tonight," said FSU head coach Chris Poole. "We have a few that were banged up a bit, so we felt that we need to get the newcomers some playing time and get a chance to get their timing down. Overall, I thought they did as well as expected. There were a few mental letdowns and things like that. But it was good to see them continue to fight. At the end, we had five freshmen on the court, and that will be great for their development."
Redshirt sophomore Adrian Ell got the match started on a good note with an ace, and the Seminoles used a lineup that often consisted of two freshmen (Emma Clothier/Jessica Nunge), two redshirt freshmen (Lily Tessier/Morgan Chacon) and a sophomore (Taylor Roberts) on the floor at the same time to open their largest lead at 14-9. Stony Brook rallied to get within one at 15-14 and 21-20, but the Seminoles held off the Seawolves to take the opening set, 25-21.
Set two was back and forth until the Seminoles put together a 5-0 scoring run to break out to an early 8-4 lead, including kills by Caleigh Morrison and Chacon, along with a pair of aces by Nunge. Madison Sullivan served the Seminoles to a 6-0 run in the middle of the set, with two aces of her own, to make it 18-10 Florida State. The Noles closed out the set strong, scoring four of their last six points via the block, to take the second set 25-14. Florida State finished with seven blocks in the set, including five from Knuth/Williams, one from Knuth/Nunge and another from Nunge/Clothier.
The Noles spread production around to begin the third set, with kills from Morrison, Clothier and Knuth as the set was tied early at 5-5. Florida State used a pair of blocks and kills from Chacon and Knuth to go on a 6-0 run for an 11-5 lead in the middle of the frame. The Seminole lead grew to 17-7 before Stony Brook worked back into the set with a 13-3 run to tie the match at 20-20. The Seawolves eventually led by as much as three at 23-20, before the Seminoles recorded the final five points to secure the sweep with a 25-23 win.
Chacon led the team in both kills (13) and digs (12) and Morrison tied for second on the squad with seven kills in her first match played for the Seminoles in her career. Tessier (16) and Ell (13) provided the majority of assists, while Sullivan, Ell and Nunge each recorded two aces apiece.

I discovered Lovecraft in 1996 via Metallica's song titles -- being a musician, music reviewer, and writer of speculative fiction -- I thus began reading the works of the Mythos gang. Edward P. Berglund has featured my work in his Nightscapes e-zine and my stories have disturbed others in print and online at other horror sites. I read sci-fi, fantasy & Chthonianesque horror. I write as the Muse dictates. I hope you Mythos Editors and FANS out there will find my work tempting for an anthology. Ciao!
Summary: Corporate greed is stymied by one landowner refusing to sell. The spinster claims it is her duty to maintain the premises lest nasty things arise. Eventually all houses and properties around the corporation are . . . (no spoiler here folks). Multi-layered legal protection of the recalcitrant spinster's crumbling house and tiny lot keeps it safe from devastation. Over a century after the woman's death, nearly all access to the ancient edifice is cut off. It stands isolated from the outside, an oddity taking up space in the sub-basement of the massive corporate monolith. A new generation's CEO decides to ignore the law.
Summary: A mixing of HP Lovecraft, CA Smith with a splash of William Gibson. "Silver Key" fans will enjoy this tale.
Summary: "The dead shall live, the living die and music shall untune the sky." Things in other dimensions are echoed by things in our own -- surprise ending!

Samuel Piedoso "Kafundanga" Chingunji, também conhecido como Kapessi Kafundanga (Soio, 11 de setembro de 1936 — Mongu, Zâmbia, 24 de janeiro de 1974), foi um militar angolano.

Kafundanga Chingunji era filho de Eduardo Jonatão Chingunji, um professor e educador das escolas da Missão da Chissamba, que foi importante líder anticolonial. Seus irmãos eram David Chingunji e Tito Chingunji, também lideranças anticoloniais.

Concluiu o 7º ano do ensino secundário no início da década de 1960. Havia ganhado uma bolsa para estudar no Canadá, mas as atividades políticas de seu pai, Eduardo Jonatão Chingunji, fez com que a Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado (PIDE) o monitorasse e o impedisse de deixar o país. Preferiu ingressar na tropa portuguesa de onde saiu em 1965. Depois disso, mobilizado pelo seu pai, participou da fundação da União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola (UNITA).

Co-fundador da UNITA, serviu como o primeiro Chefe do Estado-Maior das Forças Armadas de Libertação de Angola (FALA), o braço armado do partido. Kafundanga, seu pai e seus irmãos são chamados "os patriarcas da família Chingunji". Fundaram uma dinastia política influente utilizando como base territorial o Planalto Central de Angola.

Morte
Oficialmente, Kafundanga Chingunji morreu de malária cerebral na localidade de Mongu, nas proximidades da fronteira de Angola com a Zâmbia. A sua esposa e outras pessoas que viram seu corpo dizem que alguém envenenou Kafundanga Chingunji. Mais tarde, rumores alegaram que Jonas Savimbi, chefe da UNITA, ordenou o seu assassinato.

Vida pessoal
Seu filho, Dinho Chingunji, também seguiu carreira política.

Q: Display result of GET method in a form I'm trying to retain the query string in the URL so that the result of a search query can be bookmarked.  The appropriate content displays in the body when I previously used the "Post" action for the form, but when I switch to "get", the content does not render, but the query string appears in the URL.  How can I do both? Thanks for your help on this folks!

Search for a book

You  may search by author or title

        <form  method="GET" action=""  >
          <input  type="text" name="search">
          <input  type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">
        </form>

<?php

$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");

$connString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\\assignment3.mdb";

//creates the connection object and define the connection string

$conn->Open($connString);
$searchquery = $_GET ('search');
$selectCommand="SELECT * FROM AuthorTitle WHERE  title LIKE '%$searchquery%' OR author LIKE '%$searchquery%'";

if(isset($_GET['search'])){
$rs = $conn->Execute($selectCommand);

//opens a recordset from the connection object

if (!$rs->EOF){

$selectCommand=$rs->Fields("ProductID");
$author=$rs->Fields("author");
$title=$rs->Fields("title");

echo "
Search Result for '$searchquery':

$title, $author is available for checkout.

";

}

else

print "No results found.

";

$rs->Close;
}
?>

A: Change:
$searchquery = $_GET ('search');
To:
$searchquery = $_GET['search'];

A: Change this:
$searchquery = $_GET ('search');

To:
$searchquery = $_GET['search'];


Q: Why did you pick the course?
A: A girl in the year above me at high school had enrolled in the course and spoke about it so highly. I had never heard of the course before, so I feel really lucky that I reached out and asked for her advice – otherwise I'd never be here!
Q: Tell us about theatre media, what do you learn?
A: You learn all elements of theatre. Every year our class becomes like a mini theatre company and each student nominates what role they want… you could pick to do set and prop building, costume design, performance, lighting, producer – director, any path you want. From that point we work on putting together a show. We script it, workshop it, build the set, sell the tickets and then perform the shows.
Q: What are the kinds of subjects that you learn?
A: You do a lot of performance based subjects – like devised performance and contemporary performance; circus and physical theatre. You also learn about the production side – so you'll do script writing, lighting, stage – and then you also learn the event management side. So, how does a play gain traction and attention?
Q: What do you want to do with the degree?
A: I want to go into costume design. So that's the role I've taken in my class production this semester. At the moment I am using my class assessments to build my portfolio of work so that I can show my designs to theatre companies and apply for an internship.
Q: What does a costume designer do?
A: There is a lot of research to start with. You read the script, meet the cast – sit on in rehearsals and get an insight to the characters. Then you have to translate that into a creative vision – the design element. It's really important to have a knowledge of fabric, construction and build in the construction process.
We have a HUGE costume room here – there are literally thousands of costumes in here. Sometimes I will use costumes we have on campus, other times I'll build from scratch.

"If you ever get a chance to work with Omar, he is a very very professional guy, there's a lot of people out there that offer programs, but a lot of them are B.S., invest in yourself and learn from the best."
What Industry Titans Are Saying About Working With Omar


Run! I can still hear her screaming.
I'd grab my baby sister and run. We'd hide in closets, under beds, even under the house. I'd cover her ears while silently screaming my prayers.
Please God make him stop! Please help my mom! Make it all stop!
Maybe God was busy helping another child with bigger problems than mine.
The screams, the terror sent me running to the phone booth. The police knew me by name. They were always kind. They always came.
He would knock her unconscious, beat her unrecognizable. When he broke her jaw, I held the newspaper under her chin to catch the flowing blood while she drove herself to the hospital.
I'd beg -- I'd plead -- Please momma, don't go back. We can make it on our own. I always got the same reply.
But I love him. Maybe you'll understand more when you grow up.
Thirty years later my mother called my sister to discuss her burial arrangements. After her cremation, she asked to have her ashes scattered over the spot where they first met.
Wonder why she didn't ask me?


This is a recipe I adapted from Sur la table's Tuna Tabbouleh with Tomato and Basil. I used quinoa instead of bulgur, left out the shredded carrot and used tuna packed in water instead of tuna packed in olive oil. Having tested their recipe at work**, I can vouch that both are delicious and very easy to make. I doubled the recipe in the photo above. It keeps nicely in the fridge and travels well for lunch or as a dish to bring to a pot-luck. Enjoy! And as always, let me know if you make it and if you liked it.

Advice On Building An Authentic Brand From Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop
Whether you're a celebrity or not, values are key.
By Anjali Mullany 2 minute Read
When Gwyneth Paltrow hired former Martha Stewart CEO Lisa Gersh to help run her startup Goop, she says she gained not only a partner, but a teacher. "It's been incredible to learn how to run a business and to have a partner who is also my mentor," Paltrow told Katie Couric at the Fast Company Innovation Festival today.
Now, Gwyneth Paltrow is paying it forward to the next generation of newsletter-driven, female-centric endeavors by mentoring Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner as they ramp up their own email project, Lenny. "I talk to them all the time. I'm their Lisa Gersh–a much dumber version," Paltrow joked.
So what, Couric asked, does Paltrow think of all the celebrity-driven brands that have launched in recent years—like Jessica Alba's Honest Company and Reese Witherspoon's Draper James?
"Jessica and Reese are friends of mine…I think it's wonderful. We're living in such an exciting time where women feel that they have the capability and the permission to expand and to go into different areas," Paltrow said. "It's wonderful to see women feeling entrepreneurial and bullish about what they can bring to the market and to the culture."
Couric also asked the Goop founder if she worried about competition from other celebrity brands.
"No, I really don't," Paltrow said, "My mother [actress Blythe Danner] really raised me not to be competitive. I remember when I was first starting acting, feeling competitive: 'Oh no, if I don't get this part, that's it.'"
But Danner told her daughter that "there's really a piece of the pie for everybody, and you just need to focus on what you're doing, you need to work hard, and don't look to the side because you know you want everybody to do well," Paltrow said. "I think we all are doing very different things, we all are focused on different markets and so I think it's great and we help each other."
Related: How Gwyneth Paltrow Created A "Real Brand" With Goop
For her part, Gersh believes that brands gain their strength not simply by being attached to famous names, but for what they stand for. "I think you look at businesses that are being launched, I know they're associated with celebrity, but they're really associated with a set of values," she told Couric. "A brand is a set of values, so you look at Gwyneth's values, everyone understood what that was, they understood the aesthetic, whether it was the conditioner for your hair, whatever it was, you understood what those sets of values were," Gersh continued, referencing Paltrow's propensity for pared-down, high-end style. "You look at Reese [Witherspoon's Draper James], everyone understands it's a Southern sensibility, everyone associates with that."
"When you're thinking about it," Gersh continued, "whether you're a celebrity or anyone else, you need to have that set of values before you can go off and build a business, because you're building it around a brand, which is a set of values. Once you have that set of values, you can start to build a business around it–I think you have to first figure that out."

HomeBusinessJohnson & Johnson Could Pull Plug on LifeScan
Johnson & Johnson Could Pull Plug on LifeScan
Silviarita/Pixabay
Johnson & Johnson continues its exodus from the diabetes market and has received a $2.1B offer from Platinum Equity to acquire LifeScan.
Omar Ford | Mar 16, 2018
Johnson & Johnson is getting closer to exiting the diabetes market, as Platinum Equity has made an offer to acquire the New Brunswick, NJ-based firm's LifeScan unit for $2.1 billion. LifeScan develops blood glucose monitoring products and earned $1.5 billion in revenue in 2017.
During J&J's most recent earnings call, company executives pointed to both diabetes and orthopedics as two units that had lagging sales.
"Orthopedics performance was below where we aspire to be, and we continued to decline in diabetes care,"said Joseph Wolk, Vice President of Investor Relations for J&J, according to a Seeking Alpha Transcript.
If this deal with Platinum Equity were to go through, then J&J would be left with its Calibra Division, which sells wearable insulin pumps.
The acceptance period for the offer will end on June 15, 2018, unless extended, and during that time, consultations with relevant works councils are planned. If the offer is accepted, the transaction would be expected to close by the end of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There is the possibility that J&J could receive a higher bid from another interested party.
"LifeScan has been a leader in diabetes care for more than 30 years and has consistently developed and brought to market industry leading products," said Jacob Kotzubei, Platinum Equity Partner. "We have worked closely with J&J to craft a divestiture solution for LifeScan that would create a global standalone business and set the stage for continued investment in growth and innovation."
LifeScan President Valerie Asbury would continue leading the business following the change in ownership.
Join us at the BIOMEDevice Boston Expo, April 18–19, 2018. Use promo code "MDDI" for 20% off conference registration and free expo access.
J&J's plan to sell off LifeScan was one of five events that MD+DI cited as having a profound impact on the diabetes market. Rumblings surrounding a potential sale of the unit have been in the air for quite some time now. Back in 2014, MD+DI speculated that it might make sense for J&J to eventually jettison off the unit because of its sluggish performance.
J&J confirmed it was indeed interested in moving past diabetes when it said it was considering divesting the unit due to tough competition and lagging sales, during an earnings call in January of 2017. And in October of 2017, J&J revealed plans it would shut down its insulin pump business, Animas Corp. The company said the nearly 90,000 patients using its insulin pumps would have the option to switch to Medtronic pumps.

Q: Using perlin noise to make a map? I have this perlin noise code, which i've got up on a js fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/g3760y90/1/
As you can see the produced image is closer to random noise than perlin noise, but why? Shouldn't perlin noise produce it more... distinctive areas of 'mountains' and 'valleys' like so:
It would be great if someone could give me some pointers to get a more 'maplike' noise.

A: You are zoomed out too much change your line to
var height = PerlinNoise.noise(x/10, y/10, 0.3)

Note that I'm dividing your x any y by 10 and not multiplying to get something like this:
updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/g3760y90/2/
Also, the image you have posted seems to have multiple perlin noises added together to create the effect of multiple resolution noise
