Tom Reid, Senior Consultant
When there is conflict in your workplace, how do you deal with it? Do you face it head on, or do you ignore it and hope it will go away?
Avoiding conflict and difficult conversations is pretty typical in organizations, but just because it is the most prevalent tool in the tool kit doesn't mean it is the most effective. And studies have shown that leaving conflict unresolved comes at a pretty high price.
Patrick O'Neill, a team-building consultant, cites research that contends that unresolved conflict represents the largest reducible cost in many businesses, yet it remains largely unrecognized. And the Center for Creative Leadership identifies lost time, turnover, grievances, absenteeism, poor decision making, dysfunctional collaboration practices and a poisoned workplace as the fallout from unresolved conflict.
Anne Skorski, Senior Consultant
So it seems like a no-brainer for leaders and organizations to develop strategies for dealing with conflict when it arises rather than ignore it. So why do so many managers choose avoidance anyway?
Some people avoid conflict because they think bringing it into the open will make things worse–that if everything looks peaceful, then it will be peaceful. But just as peace is more than the absence of war, a harmonious and productive workplace is more than just the absence of team members lobbing grenades into the next cubicle.
Many people avoid conflict because they have no idea how to proceed. They may know that they have to have that difficult conversation with the person or persons involved, but simply do not know how to structure or to engage in a difficult conversation.
Reams of books and articles have been written about conducting difficult conversations, and there is general consensus on some of the basic steps:
Do it in person. An e-mail or phone conversation isn't going to cut it.
Set an appointment for the conversation. This isn't the time for an "oh, by the way" interaction in the hallway or the break room.
Assume the good intentions of all parties.
Balance inquiry with advocacy. Don't assume you understand the other person's position, or insist only on outlining yours. Ask questions and really listen to the answers.
Get to a "win-win" conclusion. This isn't about winners or losers or who was right and who was wrong. It's about trading "your way" and "my way" for "our way."
Challenging as these conversations can be, they can lead the way to a much more productive work environment. Since conflict avoidance takes up a lot of energy, having those difficult conversations to resolve the conflict expands the bandwidth in an organization and sets up conditions for superior problem-solving and teamwork.
And that's it for this month. Look for Transforming Challenges next month–and until then, have a good day and a great week.Kathy Johnson, Editor, Transforming Challenges

Exploring Gender Equality from the Perspective of Law and Policy
By Yao PengEditor: Kathy Cao
Jointly founded by the Hubei Women's Federation and the Hubei Women's Studies Society, the Gender Equality Forum, to be held regularly in Hubei colleges going forward, was started by the two organizations at Central China Normal University (CCNU).
The January 20 seminar on the exploration into gender Issues in the perspective of law and policy is an event affiliated with the forum and was attended by experts and scholars, who shared their opinions and held in-depth discussions on these issues.
Gender equality represents not only an unvarying theoretical problem but a constant practical problem as well. The concept of gender equality reinforces the notion not only that all people are equal before the law but also that the two genders supplement each other, creating a sum that is greater than its component parts. The rule of law guarantees the implementation of social equality and justice. Only once women's rights and interests are respected and upheld by law will true societal equality and justice have been achieved.
Legal Deficiencies
According to the forum, the current legislation in China is confined mainly to women's physiological gender and the protection of their role as a vulnerable group, ignoring the protection of women's equal rights and social status based on their social gender. Some regulations not only fail to protect women's rights and interests but even go so far as to become constraints, producing a contrary effect.
Sun Jin, a professor of Wuhan University, talked about China's legal deficiencies in regulating gender discrimination — deficiencies that include both a lack of legislative concepts and lack of legislative content.
"First of all, gender discrimination has not been properly defined, even in major anti–gender discrimination laws. Secondly, Chinese law's rough demarcation of women's rights and interests cannot provide women with sufficient protection in these areas; and as a result, many laws and regulations meant to address such issues have not been implemented in practice," said Sun.
Sun said that the existing laws have not provided specific measures to relieve women of discrimination and do not lay proper blame on those who discriminate against others.
In Sun's opinion, a law on anti–gender discrimination is urgently needed to govern and eradicate both explicit and implicit forms of discrimination.
Wang Ting, a professor of Hubei University, expressed the belief that social gender perspectives are of particular importance given China's socialist "rule by law" makeup.
"Although great strides have been made in the legal construction of gender equality, the lack of perspective on gender issues — in which women and men are treated and evaluated by the same standard — also reflects the inequality between genders in China," said Wang
Wang suggested that laws constructed from men's perspective need reconstruction to properly and sufficiently reflect the needs and interests of women.
"The establishment of a series of legal safeguarding mechanisms — such as a mechanism for evaluating the effects of social gender, a mechanism for evaluating the effect of governments' fiscal revenue on women and men from a gender perspective, a mechanism for gender equality in education and a mechanism for coordinating interest in gender equality — could help turn disparate treatment into equal treatment, giving substance to the end goal of equality," said Wang.
XueHui, a professor of CCNU, emphasized promoting justice of society as a whole — and the developing an increased legal awareness among women represents an important component to this cause.
"With the advancement of China's legal development process, attention should be paid to cultivating women's legal awareness and way of thinking. The development of women's law-based thoughts and methods would ultimately help them to protect themselves by way of the law," said Xue.
Long Jingyun, another professor of CCNU, further proposed a unified effort in advancing women's legal awareness.
In her point of view, further publicity of rule of law could strengthen women's legal awareness; improvement of the legal system for women could enhance women's legal status; development of NGOs for women could lead them to play a more significant role in the rule of law; and the establishment of public-interest litigation systems for women's rights could fill the vacancy in this area.
"These measures would help to remedy Chinese women's current deficiencies in legal awareness and would help to drive women ahead to promote the rule of law. In this way, true rule of law could ultimately be achieved in China, by the joint effort from both genders," said Long.
In rural areas, women are subjected to a greater amount of unequal treatment than their urban counterparts. Women's rights and interests have been suppressed by the "traditions" that violate gender equality and infringe on women's legal rights. In some areas, women's land rights and interests have been severely violated in the interest of urbanization and industrialization as well as in rural land transfer and scale operations. These phenomena have led to the futility, in some urban areas, of laws and policies that were meant to protect women's rights and interests and have attracted the attention of women workers and researchers.
A survey conducted by the Jiangsu Women's Federation shows that 57.2 percent of village regulations and non-governmental agreements do not even mention gender equality and that 73.0 percent of those that do actually mention gender equality focus only on marriage and family planning.
"Though recent years have seen a decrease in gender discrimination within regulations, such unequal treatment of women remains an unfortunate reality," said Zhang Yongying, an associate researcher at the Women's Studies Institute of China.
Based on this phenomenon, Zhang, proposed four amendments to enhance gender equality in village regulations and non-governmental agreements: The content should reflect the principle of gender equality; women should play an important role in making or revising these regulations; local governments should review the regulations frequently; departments for civil affairs and women's federations should lead wider publicity and further guidance on gender equality.
Based on his rich work experience in rural areas, Yu Aimin, a professor of Huazhong Agricultural University(HZAU) in Wuhan, Hubei Province, believes that the infringement of women's land rights and interests stems from gender discrimination in feudal culture, changes to the economic interests and landscape of China, and a lack of adequate support from laws and policies.
"Moreover, the existing discriminatory regulations and people's lack of proper awareness for gender equality and discrimination worsen the situation," said Yu.
He thus proposed four suggestions to solve the problem: to improve the laws and regulations in order to provide legal support in protecting women's rights; to further popularize relevant laws in order to create a culture of protecting rights by way of the law; to promote the publicity of favorable policies in order to lead women in rural areas to understand the principle ofbenefit distribution; and finally to improve the safeguarding mechanismin order to ensure the social security of women.
After interviewing 50 female village officers, Li Qin, professor of CCNU, believes the gender equality landscape to be even more obstacle-ridden for women participating in village management.
"Subjected to societal pressures and misunderstanding from their family members at the same time, female village officers find themselves in an awkward predicament, which highlights the importance of research and improvement in this field," said Li.
Li's research found that villages with more female officers tend to have a more gender-friendly environment, gaining much support from local governments and women's organizations.
Li proposed four dimensions in constructing adiversified support system for women participating in village management: organizations for religious women, gender-friendly political environment, preferential policies and projects from the local government, and national-policy guarantees and international influence.

We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. The chalets are beautifully presented with a large room, bathroom, kitchenette and outdoor sun lounge and dining. Pool was great and very private. Close to the beach across the road. What a beautiful beach. Miles of unspoilt sand with palms overlooking the islands just offshore. There are a couple of small places to eat in walking distance. Need to drive to main Mission beach for more options. We chose to get some supplies for the nearby supermarket and some fantastic fresh seafood from the mission beach seafood shop and cooked at the apartment. Hosts were lovely and made sure we had everything. Only 3 chalets in the comolex so you won't feel crowded. An absolutely wonderful place to relax for a few days. Nearlby Charleys chocolate tours are well worth the visit to see local cocoa growing and chocolate that has won awards at the highest levels in the world.
Hope to return one day.
Really peaceful. Just a pity we were just passing through. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

The last decade has witnessed a significant miniaturization in the way data is stored. We have moved on from hard paper copies to soft digital version, which has not only improved the efficiency of data management, but also enhanced dissipation and accessing of data. The digital data storage formats have evolved from the punched cards/floppy disks with limited storage to the current version of external hard drives with up to a couple of terabytes storage capabilities. The practical reflection of this scientific advancement is directly reflected on the way we manage our data in the highly expanding digital world. Recent innovation on the feasibility of data storage in synthetic DNA may be regarded as a breakthrough technology which will dramatically change the way we have managed our data storage so far. Will we be able to carry terabytes of information within few cells in our body? Will we be able to listen to all our popular music stored in our cells by attaching a tiny sensor to our fingertips? Will school children in future not have to carry heavy school bags? Will this radically change the format in which we will publish and archive scientific literature in future? Or to simplify it, are we, having progressed in the area of humanoid to human transition, slowly pacing toward r everse engineering of human to humanoid? Will we humans be a packet of network hub in future ? Seems like a science fiction coming true. Well, I will leave further imagination to our readers and if you have any interesting concepts evolving, please share it with our readers.
We have made some changes to our issues this year. To accommodate our ever-increasing manuscript submissions, we have decided to increase the number of articles per issue. In this issue, JNSBM celebrates its largest issue published so far, incorporating articles of all kinds; reviews, original basic and clinical studies, epidemiological studies, novel methodological descriptions, as well as rare case reports. Many of these articles reflect (and contribute to) the scientific progress that takes place in our days: the advanced biophysical study of crucial cellular ion channels, the potential use of nanotechnology in everyday dental practice, the biochemical monitoring of intracellular signaling, as well as the development of novel therapeutic approaches to bacterial infections. Other articles, found in this issue, bear less innovation and focus on the critical evaluation of the current state-of-the-art and/or of the everyday medical/dental practice in certain countries and clinical settings. But one should recognize that irrespective of their novelty, these articles form the basis of an academic dialog that leads our world forward. It is, undoubtedly, through scientific progress, debate, and innovation that our community maintains its current dynamic status toward the improvement of our understanding of the natural world and its magnificent (but well-hidden) mysteries. However, scientific progress has never been alone in this journey.
Among the articles in this issue is an article on application of curcumin in oral health on top of its well-described benefits in systemic health. A state-of-the-art review describes the potential of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) in the management of epilepsy. This is particularly the need of the hour, especially when several medical management options of epilepsy fail. Additionally, it is interesting to note that VNS may also have the potential in triggering neurogenesis, indicating its potential application in regenerative stem cell work. Also, there is an article on application of nanotechnology in dentistry, which highlights the use of nanotechnology, especially in restorative dentistry. We are also delighted to see submission of articles from the engineering field to JNSBM; in this issue, we have an article looking at the electrostatic interactions between dipoles and side chains of potassium channel, which is an ideal example of bioengineering interface. Such cross-disciplinary interactions are need of the hour for crucial understanding of the topic, and as well as for scientific advancement. We hope to see submission of more such articles from non-biological subjects to JNSBM, which will help to promote such multidisciplinary research. Related to this, in this issue, we have a few articles in the area of bioinformatics and molecular modeling, and we aim to continue this trend. We have included a few articles on diabetes/metabolic syndrome, which is not only an increasing risk factor for cardiovascular diseases but also a predisposition factor for a few types of cancer, hence catapulting it to a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is the need of the hour to team up all disciplines of science to evolve better diagnostics and therapeutics for this disease. We have included an article highlighting the health risk associated with exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. This, we think, is timely considering the recent incidence of BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Although heavy fine was imposed on BP to clean up this mess, the collateral damage imposed by this environmental disaster will continue to impact not only wildlife but also humans exposed to the vapors of this spill. Research efforts are, therefore, necessary to indentify such associated risks and develop appropriate therapeutics. We have included a few articles in the area anatomy, in particular topographic anatomy, which we think are valuable educational references, and we highly encourage our readers to consider submitting manuscripts on such basic fundamental topics, which have high educational value. We have two articles looking at the health risks associated with radiation exposures, which is a relatively neglected area. This is especially important has with the advancement of wireless communications our environ-ment is jam packed with variety of electromagnetic waves, and surprisingly there is paucity of research work evaluating the safety of such silent morbidity/mortality factors. As always, the icing on the cake is formed by several interesting case reports, which we believe, are of considerable interest to all our readers.
As both social progress and economic progress are tightly linked to scientific progress, the latter has also generated a significant number of socioeconomic problems. This side of the coin is also covered by articles published in this issue of JNSBM, with emphasis on the emerging threat of bioterrorism and the health-related effects of radiation. Moreover, a number of articles in this issue address the toxic aspects of diseases or health-related concepts linked to our modern lifestyle and industrialized societies; these include studies on experimentally induced diabetes mellitus and its complications, toxicological studies on certain xenobiotics, a study on the management of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections, studies on HIV-patients' management and related awareness, as well as an observational study on the current medical perception/practice on adverse drug reactions' reporting.
As members of the editorial board of JNSBM, we are happy to see this journal becoming a popular multidisciplinary forum for scientific novelty, awareness, critical reviewing, and debate. We are also keen to encourage future submissions regarding the aspects of fundamental and applied science, as we strongly believe that scientific excellence and progress are tightly linked to both the ethical and the academic levels of the scientific education. Since the beginning of this effort, our aim has been to establish JNSBM as a valuable reference for both research and continuous education.

at a competitive price Kingspan Environmental Storage Tanks have been successfully installed throughout the world since 1967. They are constructed from non-corrosive materials, designs in accordance with BS 6297: 1983.
Every Storage Tank is tested to ensure that it is watertight and structurally sound.
Delivered as a complete unit ready for installation, each Storage Tank must be installed in a level condition and bedded on, and surrounded with, 225mm thickness of concrete. The Storage Tank will need to be ballasted internally with water and remain so until the concrete has set. Full installation instructions are provided with each unit, but are also available on request. Storage Tanks are for storage only and their contents have to be emptied at regular intervals by tanker. A 'high level' alarm is available for monitoring the Storage Tank for optimum usage.
For added safety, Storage Tanks can be supplied with a lockable manhole cover.
A cesspool is a below ground holding tank for sewage .The cesspool has no outlet, so all incoming waste water from the property is stored and has to be tankered away.
Cesspools should only be used as a last resort, where no drainage filed is feasible, due to unsuitable ground conditions or where infrequent or seasonal use, such as a holiday home.
Building Regulations state that you will need to give at least 45 days storage for a domestic property. The smallest cesspools for a domestic property is an 18,000 litre, this will serve a one bedroom property or up to 2 people.
British water state that the capacity of a cesspool should be based on 180 litres per person per day & must give 45 days' storage before it needs emptying. For a single dwelling, a 4000 gallon or 18,000 litres is regarded as the minimum capacity required. This size cesspool would be only suitable for a maximum of two people, for every person added the size of the cesspool must be increased by 6800 litres.

Home Remedies and the Penicillin Cocktail
My mother had two remedies for colds. One was chicken soup; the other was a mix of lemon and honey.
I never thought to ask her if she really believed these nostrums cured anything, but they certainly had psychological benefits — at least they made us all feel like we were doing something.
The honey was the best — when you're five years old, drinking honey is an astonishing indulgence, sweet and soothing on irritated throats. (And since my mother was Canadian, maple syrup got involved, too. Nice.)
The lemon supplied vitamin C; sweetened with honey, it made a very nice lemonade.
I knew people who added ginger to that mix. Fresh ginger would add a bit of spicy heat, and has a long folk tradition of fighting colds and flu and of aiding the appetite. I think my mom didn't like fresh ginger — I don't recall eating it in my youth, not once. We stuck with the lemon and honey, and maybe some nice, cold Canada Dry ginger ale.
Then I got old enough for whiskey. That was the end of lemon and honey.
Whiskey as medicine
I'm always happy to self-prescribe a little Scotch or bourbon when I'm under the weather. And no, I don't believe it's really a cure for my colds, or my flu, or my sore back. Like the straight honey of my youth, it's an uplifting indulgence that always makes me feel happier, if not healthier.
But there was a time — not so very long ago — when whiskey was a generally accepted cure, a respected part of the medical doctor's bag of remedies. Whiskey's power to cure was medical tradition, and in a hidebound industry, tradition counts for a lot.
Change was slow, but by the end of the nineteenth century whiskey's cure-all reputation was being doubted in some circles, and its use increasingly deprecated. Nonetheless, administering whiskey remained part of common medical practice through Prohibition and the first half of the twentieth century. I still remember my father's astonished amusement with his tee-totaling mother taking her doctor-prescribed nightly tot to soothe her nerves after my grandfather died in the 1960s. Apparently it worked.
The generally accepted rationale for whiskey's claim to medicinal benefit was a belief that whiskey (and brandy) stimulated and strengthened circulatory function. Doctors also used it as a sedative to quiet the distraught or overexcited. (There was apparently little examination of the contradiction that whiskey was being administered both as stimulant and depressant at the same time.)
Both whiskey and brandy were generally accepted medicine for colds and flu (or "the grippe," as it was known then).
There were plenty of mountebanks, often the distillers themselves, who made claims that must have seemed astonishing even in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some believed whiskey would cure cancer. Some claimed it could cure everything.
One of my favorite whiskey charlatans was a blender named Walter P. Duffy, who moved from New York to build a large rectifying plant in Baltimore. According to the Maryland Historical Magazine , he bought ad space across the bottom of all 1684 pages of the Baltimore City Directory in 1886, advertising
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey!
Cures Malaria. Price One Dollar Per Bottle.
Sold by Druggists, Grocers and Dealers.
Apparently, Baltimore's citizenry was not as gullible as Duffy hoped. He went bankrupt the next year and moved back to New York.
There was, though, a widespread belief in the idea that whiskey had certain cure-all attributes. Whiskey labels admonished that the contents were "bottled expressly for Family and Medicinal Use," and there was widespread acceptance of the idea that whiskey should be included in every family's medicine cabinet.
H. L. Mencken wrote that "Dr. Z. K. Wiley, our family practitioner… believed and taught that a shot of Maryland whiskey was the best preventive of pneumonia in the R months." According to Mencken, his father always had Monticello Maryland Rye in the pantry, and "before every meal, including breakfast, he ducked into the cupboard in the dining-room and poured out a substantial hooker of rye, and when he emerged he was always sucking in a great whiff of air to cool off his tonsils. He regarded this appetizer as necessary to his well-being. He said it was the best medicine he had ever found for toning up the stomach."
But some in the medical profession were troubled, and with time the industry apparently developed grave doubts that whiskey was a successful medicine. By the beginning of the twentieth century the AMA was already recommending against prescribing it. Their tone changed as Prohibition rolled around and the government began to regulate what doctors could prescribe for their patients; the Hippocratic Oath became more like the Hypocritical Oath, as the profession lobbied to assure a loophole in the Volstead Act that allowed them to retain a hold on the profits they could gain from writing whiskey prescriptions.
Predictably, after Repeal the AMA again deprecated whiskey.
Back to home remedies
Lemon, honey, ginger, and good old traditional whiskey. It's quite a collection of home remedies. No one believes they actually cure anything, but everyone agrees that they ameliorate symptoms, make you feel like you're doing something about your sorry lot, and offer a little psychological pick-me-up while you suffer your cold or flu.
So why not combine them all together?
That's exactly what Australian bartender Sam Ross did in 2005 while he was working at the now-closed Milk & Honey in Manhattan. The way Ross tells it, Compass Box was starting to promote their line of blended Scotch on the East Coast, and Ross was trying to figure out how to make use of it. His experimentation led to the Penicillin Cocktail, a honey-sweetened whiskey sour that seems inspired by another Milk & Honey original from the same era, T. J. Siegal's bourbon, lemon, and honey Gold Rush—substitute Scotch, add the hallmark ginger, and the rest is history.
The Penicillin Cocktail
Based on Sam Ross, 2005
2 oz (60 ml) blended Scotch whisky (Monkey Shoulder, Famous Grouse)
¾ oz (20 ml) honey syrup
½–¾ oz (15–20 ml) fresh lemon juice
½ oz (15 g) fresh ginger, peeled
¼ oz (10 ml) smoky single malt Scotch whisky (Laphroaig)
candied ginger (garnish)
Cut the ginger into thin coins and muddle well in the mixing tin. Add blended whisky, honey syrup, and lemon juice, and shake well with ice. Add a large piece of ice to a rocks glass and double strain the mixture over the ice. Pour the smoky whisky over the back of a bar spoon to float it on top of the drink. Garnish with candied ginger.
Ross used a ginger-honey syrup in his original Penicillin; that makes sense for a bar making a lot of these drinks in a short time, but ginger juice doesn't keep its bright taste for long, so it's wasteful for the home bartender. Muddling for each drink is slower and messier, but if you're only making one or two Penicillins at a time that approach gives a much fresher ginger flavor than a syrup left over from yesterday.
The idea behind using two Scotches is to use a less aggressively flavored (and usually less expensive) blend for the main body of the drink, then a peaty float to provide a rich, smoky nose. It doesn't have to be a blend, of course, but the subtleties of a single malt might get lost here, what with all the lemon, honey, and ginger. The blend makes for a relatively lighter body in the drink, and the float is enough to bring a good heady interest to the nose. Any decent, peaty Islay whiskey will do for the float; I suggest Laphroaig. (You don't like peaty Scotch? At least give it a try here, it makes the drink.)
The garnish for the Penicillin is a chunk or strip of candied ginger. It's pretty easy to make your own, but you may be able to buy large enough pieces at your grocery. Absent candied ginger, a good lemon twist is an appropriate substitute.
The honey is the wild card in this formula — so many regions, so many flavors. Ginger and Scotch whisky aren't shy, and can stand up to strongly flavored honeys; I recommend that you find an assertive regional honey to give your Penicillin the local touch.
There truly is something medicinal in the Penicillin's flavor. The Scotch, the peat, the ginger and lemon, all working together. The nose is all smoky peat, with a little hint of lemon and honey. If the lemon and honey are balanced, the first sip is a hit of their sweet-and-sour, with the honey's flavor tones coming through, but neither sensation dominating. Then the there's a rush of ginger across the sides of the tongue. That fades a bit, and the blended Scotch finally appears as you swallow. Finally, there's a long aftertaste of the whiskey and, longest of all, the warming ginger.
It's a genius combination.
I've written often that Scotch is not the friendliest of spirits for cocktails, and the dry, peaty Islay Scotches are the spikiest of the lot. That said, I rank the Penicillin Cocktail as the most approachable and most drinkable of all the Scotch cocktails I've encountered. The flavor combination adds up to more than the sum of its parts, and has put the Penicillin on track to become one of the cocktail world's classics—probably the first of the twenty-first century's cocktails to reach that status.
And that means it is becoming, or has already become, part of the regular canon of drinks that most bartenders know and serve, whether it's on the drinks menu or not. It's an everyday drink, and you don't have to wait until you have a cold to indulge. You'll want one then, too, of course, but don't forget about straight honey. And have a bowl of chicken soup.

Sounds delicious. Also sounds like something that would work hot, perhaps?
Never tried that. Sort of a "hot toddy" thing. Might be an interesting variation.
I look forward to trying this- I have a cabinet full of bourbon & rye bottles for cocktails but rarely make a Scotch-based cocktail- that has to change! Thank you for this
You're welcome, Paul — and thanks to Sam Ross.

This sounds like a marvelous winter cocktail. I have a bottle of Macallan 12 year Scotch that I, like you, use to self-medicate when feeling a bit under the weather. I don't like to use it in hot toddies, for the very reason you mention about the peaty, spiky flavor, but generally, a shot of Maker's Mark in a cupful of hot Earl Grey tea with some honey and lemon make a great "medicinal" drink. :) Lovely post,as always.
Maker's Mark in a cup of tea sounds great. I'll have to try it with Earl Grey, because I like Earl Grey.
I'm also worried about the float being too aggressive in a hot drink. But a Scotch whisky Mr. Ford here got me hooked on is Talisker, via the Choke and Smoke:
https://cold-glass.com/2017/01/13/cynar-and-scotch-the-choke-and-smoke-cocktail/
I still love, say, Laphroaig and Ardbeg, but to me Talisker has an agreeableness to it that makes me want to drink it, while still definitely being smoky and individual. I'm not scared of putting it in anything.
I guess I need to shut up and try it that way, as I had something else in mind last night. :) Maybe I need to wait until I'm actually sick. ;)
Sounds like a great reason to go out and get sick, doesn't it? 😁🤧
I agree, the Laphroaig might come across as a bit in-your-face in a hot drink. Talisker, good choice.
Which reminds me, not of tea, but of Maker's and ginger ale, a fine version of a bourbon-and-ginger highball that was apparently the favored drink of my Dad's unit in WWII. One of those things I learned during the conversations that came up back in 1995, when so many families were contemplating the 50th anniversary of the end of that war.
I had a bourbon and ginger when I had bronchitis several years ago, and I recovered VERY quickly after. Coincidence? I think not. 😊

Honey? I cannot taste it without thinking of Doug's marvelous mother and of her introducing me to peanut butter and honey sandwiches.
Ah, those were the days. Thanks, Bruce, for the remembrance.
When my great-grandmother was feeling under the weather she would make a glass of warm lemonade and hook herself up to a strange cure-all medical device called the Ferater (not sure how it is spelled), which is a very sciency looking metal cylinder with wires that you'd attach to your extremities. Apparently the combination of the two made her feel better, perhaps a double placebo effect.
Love the image of your great grandmother, wired, drinking lemonade. I wonder what that thing was? There's a good story there…

This is a great cocktail, I can't wait to try it. My grandfather use to boil three cinnamon sticks and a star anise like a tea, then right before he'd drink it he'd add two shots of tequila or rum and a teaspoon of honey. He swears this would help with colds, as kids he'd make it for us, with less alcohol of course until my mom told him to omit the liquor, lol.
Star anise, an interesting addition to the mix. Good story, thanks.

Bush Vetoes Kids Health Insurance Bill

greenich : Bush Vetoes Kids Health Insurance Bill
Wednesday, December 12, 2007 8:44:33 PMBy JENNIFER LOVEN
President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided health insurance for children, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in Congress to dramatically increase funding for the popular program.
It was Bush's seventh veto in seven years -- all but one coming since Democrats took control of Congress in January. Wednesday was the deadline for Bush to act or let the bill become law. The president also vetoed an earlier, similar bill expanding the health insurance program.
Bush vetoed the bill in private.
In a statement notifying Congress of his decision, Bush said the bill was unacceptable because -- like the first one -- it allows adults into the program, would cover people in families with incomes above the U.S. median and raises taxes.
"This bill does not put poor children first, and it moves our country's health care system in the wrong direction," Bush's statement said. "Ultimately, our nation's goal should be to move children who have no health insurance to private coverage, not to move children who already have private health insurance to government coverage."
Bush urged Congress to extend the program at its current funding level before lawmakers leave Washington for their holiday break.
In fact, congressional leaders had already said earlier Wednesday that they now will try only to extend the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP, well into 2008 in basically its current form. Their comments signaled that they have given up efforts to substantially expand the program.
The House voted 211-180 late Wednesday to put off until Jan. 23 a vote on overriding the president's veto. "We are not going to let this veto stand," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans said Democrats were scheduling the veto override vote to coincide with the week Bush comes to Congress for the State of the Union address.
The bill passed the Democratic-controlled Senate by a veto-proof margin, but the same was not true in the House. Even after the bill was approved, negotiations continued to find a compromise version that would attract enough Republican lawmakers to override Bush's expected veto. A two-thirds vote in both chambers is required to override a presidential veto.
But that effort was unsuccessful.
The bill Bush vetoed would have increased federal funding for SCHIP by $35 billion over five years, to add an estimated 4 million people to the program that provides insurance coverage for children from families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance. The joint federal-state program currently provides benefits to roughly 6 million people, mostly children....

Tech Advances Fuel LMS Identity Crisis
Executive Skills & Strategy
By Benjamin Herold — September 29, 2014 7 min read
Fifteen years after its adoption by most K-12 schools, the learning management system is going through a turbulent adolescence, with technology vendors and educators alike wrestling with big questions about what an LMS actually is, where it should live, the functions it should perform, and how it can best fit into the larger ed-tech ecosystem.
Gone are the days when district technology leaders were content to let such software sit quietly on their servers while it helped teachers upload and store online instructional content, deliver assignments and quizzes, track a few aspects of student performance, and, maybe, communicate with their classes by way of a discussion board.
Now, many forward-thinking K-12 technology leaders expect their LMS to be out in the world, exchanging information directly with content providers and other software programs, incorporating social-media tools, and offering round-the-clock access to teachers, students, administrators, and parents alike—not just on their desktop computers but also on their tablets, smartphones, and other devices. The modern LMS is also expected to help teachers find and craft content and lessons, conduct complex analysis of so-called "big" learning data, recommend external content for each individual student, and make use of video and other multimedia.
The result is a crowded, confusing marketplace that has stagnated and even shrunk in recent years, said Karen Billings, the vice president of the education division for the Software & Information Industry Association, a Washington-based trade organization.
A slew of vendors—many of which eschew the "learning management system" moniker altogether in favor of terms such as "virtual learning platform"—are competing aggressively to establish their software as the best available tool to help schools offer more-personalized instruction. The legacy companies that have long dominated the K-12 LMS market are busy overhauling their products, services, and business models.
But district leaders, unsure exactly what they need and want, have often been hesitant to pull the trigger on big new purchases.
"You've got companies who want to be innovative, but school districts who are used to purchasing software that fits in certain categories," Ms. Billings said.
Cost and Responsiveness
The top tier of the K-12 LMS software market has remained generally consistent for several years, according to Donald K. McIntosh, the president of Trimeritus e-Learning Solutions Inc., a consulting service based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that helps companies and school systems throughout North America select learning management systems.
LMS Skill Set
Learning management systems for K-12 schools and districts now go by many names, come from hundreds of different vendors, and perform a wide variety of functions. Key features that characterize the LMS products currently on the market include:
ADMINISTRATION: LMS software plays an increasingly broad role in e-learning administration, from hosting both online and face-to-face class information, to providing a platform for Web-based and blended learning courses, to providing email, reminder, and course registration and management services.
ASSESSMENT: K-12 LMS systems are increasingly expected to facilitate the delivery of a wide range of formal and informal assignments and assessments, to link out to third-party tests, and to allow easy grading and reporting of how students are doing.
COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION: Many K-12 learning management systems now allow for instant messaging, social networking, threaded discussion groups, blogs and wikis, document sharing, and more.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT AND CREATION: One of the core functions of the K-12 LMS is to catalog learning objects such as lessons, assessments, syllabi, and other instructional materials. Also increasingly important is the ability of teachers to easily craft, adapt, revise, and share instructional materials—including rich multimedia, such as videos and screencasts—within the LMS.
INTEGRATION: Many K-12 districts are looking to LMS software to integrate with other software systems in order to help break down the walls between content management, student-information systems, content publishers and services, and other major software and applications already being used by schools. This can be both a technical issue—does the LMS offer the necessary code to share information with other software?—and a service challenge, depending on vendors' willingness to customize their solutions and work together with other companies.
PERFORMANCE TRACKING: The K-12 LMS can play a key role in mapping the skills and competencies students are expected to master, analyzing their performance on related assessments using increasingly sophisticated learning analytics, and preparing and delivering reports of student progress to a wide range of stakeholders.
SOURCE: Adapted from information provided by Trimeritus e-Learning Solutions Inc.
The dominant players are still Washington-based education software developer Blackboard Inc., which has acquired a number of other major companies in the field in recent years, and LMS-maker D2L, formerly known as Desire2Learn, based in Kitchener, Ontario. Moodle, based in Perth, Australia, is the largest open-source learning management system on the market.
But newer companies such as Instructure, an education software company based in Salt Lake City that makes the popular Canvas LMS, are quickly gaining K-12 market share, Mr. McIntosh said.
And a host of newer products—including Classroom, a free tool from Mountain View, Calif.-based online-services giant Google, and itslearning, an LMS from a Norwegian company of the same name—are also increasingly popping up on educators' radar screens.
"One reason is cost," Mr. McIntosh said. "Blackboard, for example, has gotten very expensive over the years."
Another reason many educators are looking for new products, he said, is their perception that the established players are not as user-friendly as they should be, both in terms of their products' interface and their responsiveness to individual clients.
Reliable data on the K-12 market share of learning management systems are hard to come by. But one thing is clear, according to the SIIA: The makers of LMS software are competing for slices of a shrinking overall pie.
According to the group's most recent market survey, "U.S. Education Technology Market: PreK-12 Survey," the amount spent by K-12 school systems in the United States on LMS software and related instructional-management tools has declined precipitously, likely due to some combination of tough economic times for districts, the emergence of free cloud-based products, and the hesitance of district officials to purchase new systems whose very identity and functioning is in such flux.
In 2010-11, the group projected a total of $400 million in revenue from sales of LMS software to K-12 schools. By 2011-12, the last year for which data are available, that figure had dropped to $182 million.
'Legacy' Companies Adjust
Despite the tough market, large "legacy" LMS companies, many of which also have huge footprints in higher education, insist they continue to grow.
In August, for example, D2L announced that it had raised $85 million from investors, resources the company said it intended to use to grow its workforce, ramp up research and development, and expand its integrations with other software and apps.
Blackboard also announced this summer that it would combine various disparate offerings—including its LMS, a digital content library, mobile learning apps, a parent-messaging service, and more—into a single package rather than attempt to sell each to districts as standalone products.
"Instead of saying, 'Here's a bunch of parts, figure out what to do with them,' we've bundled them into true solutions," said Mark Strassman, the company's senior vice president of industry and product management, in an interview.
The company is also rolling out a public cloud-based option for its LMS—a service that is increasingly of interest to districts looking to avoid the expense and hassle of maintaining software themselves.
And Blackboard has also invested heavily in completely redesigning what users see and experience when they log in to its products. The goal, said Mr. Strassman, is a "delightful" experience that "offers access to what people want in dramatically fewer clicks"—a change that he acknowledged was driven in large part by the competitive forces at work in the crowded K-12 LMS marketplace.
"Canvas and [D2L] and those sorts of vendors drove us to have a better user interface," Mr. Strassman said. "I think there's a recognition that as a company with a 15-year history … we have an opportunity to reinvent how customers use [our technologies] and launch something that is completely new."
Although many educators and industry officials consider the evolution of K-12 learning management systems to be dramatic, Mr. McIntosh of Trimeritus e-Learning Solutions described most of the changes throughout the marketplace as "old stuff with new clothes on it."
That's not necessarily a bad development, he said.
To begin with, he pointed out that the LMS software for the education market has for years been more advanced than similar software targeted to the corporate market when it comes to incorporating communication and collaboration tools.
Many K-12 LMS companies are also well down the road of ensuring that their systems are accessible and user-friendly on mobile devices.
And, he said, the "big data" and learning analytics features touted by many vendors are not so different from the widely underused reporting functions that learning management systems have long contained.
"The data has always been there. People just haven't figured out how to use it," Mr. McIntosh said. "The market is gradually developing more tools, but I think it's still in a state of flux."
Perhaps the one legitimate game-changer on the horizon is the growing focus on making sure that LMS software can easily and automatically share and receive information—from other K-12 software, student-information systems, developers of apps, and from publishers and other educational content providers.
In June, the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, a San Mateo, Calif.-based think tank that pushes for digital, blended, and competency-based education models, released a report, "Schools and Software: What's Now and What's Next," based on a survey of 30 small- to medium-sized public school districts.
The key takeaway, said report author and research fellow Julia F. Freeland, is that students and teachers are suffering because of a lack of integration among K-12 educational software programs.
In an ideal world, Ms. Freeland said, the LMS would serve as a "hub" that works to constantly update and make available to teachers, administrators, parents, and students—in real time, in a single location—a wide range of data: What courses a student is enrolled in, how well he or she performed on both standardized and informal assessments, what learning software he or she is using, and what kind of content works best to help that student master concepts.
The lingering reality, however, is that much of that work is still done manually, if at all.
Barriers range from resistance to new technology inside district bureaucracies to competition among vendors to the failure of the ed-tech marketplace to settle on a single set of technical standards that might help facilitate such integrations.
"In theory, an LMS could be this magical platform that could show you exactly what's happening with every student in your classroom," Ms. Freeland said. "But in many schools, there is still this big human lift that is happening."

John Krasinski Interviewed Former Costar Steve Carell On His New Web Show, Some Good News
Copyright YouTube/Some Good News
YouTube/Some Good News
We could all use some smiles, laughs and good news these days. As the days of social distancing have morphed into weeks, watching and reading all the news about the coronavirus can feel get overwhelming for even the toughest people out there. Some people have taken the stay-at-home orders as an opportunity to rewatch some of their favorite shows like "The Office" to laugh and escape the real world for a while.
Meanwhile, during this challenging time, one of the popular series' stars, John Krasinski, found a different way to lift spirits, by creating a new web series.
Krasinki launched the Some Good News webcast on YouTube on March 29 as a way the highlight the lighter side of events going on in the world.
"For years now, I've been wondering why is there not a news show dedicated to good news?" Krasinski said in the video's introduction. "Well, desperately seeking my fix somewhere else, I reached out to this week asking — nay begging — for some good news."
The actor posted the request on Twitter to his followers on March 25.
Alright everybody, how about #SomeGoodNews ! Send me the stories that have made you feel good this week or the things that just made you smile!
— John Krasinski (@johnkrasinski) March 25, 2020
The response was overwhelming and the actor compiled some of the stories he heard into his webcast. And, as a special treat for viewers, Krasinski took the opportunity to celebrate this week's 15th anniversary of "The Office" with his former co-star Steve Carell, who joined the show remotely via video conference.
It was clear that "Jim" and "Michael" were having a ball spending time together onscreen, even if it was digitally. First, Carell called out his friend for business attire.
"I guarantee that the bottom of half of what you have on does not match the bottom," Carell joked.
Krasinski confirmed that he was "definitely wearing 'jams,' if anyone remembers what those are." (He showed the board shorts later in the broadcast.)
And, of course, the pair talked about favorite scenes from the show and their memories from their time on "The Office" together.

"I think most of the [favorite] memories have to do with things that we shared as a cast," Carell said. "Part of what was so much fun about it is everybody in the cast was rooting for everybody else. People would step back when it was time for other people to shine and celebrate it."
The rest of the uplifting broadcast featured stories from all over the world about how people are taking care of one another during this coronavirus outbreak. Here's the full episode:
More than 25 million people watched the first episode, and it looks more installments could be in the works. So, stay tuned for more good news!

2021 BTCC Thruxton - Race Report
Stunning start for Halfords Racing with Cataclean in BTCC opener
Halfords Racing with Cataclean kicked off its 2021 British Touring Car Championship campaign with three top 10 finishes from drivers Dan Rowbottom and Gordon Shedden at Thruxton, Hampshire, at the weekend.
The newly-titled squad, operated by Team Dynamics, brings Scotsman Shedden back to the team with which he has won three BTCC titles and offers Rowbottom a perfect platform on which to showcase his ability in the BTCC.
Thruxton's qualifying session was a lottery with a wet road drying out towards the end of the 30-minute session, meaning that the correct tyre choice at the optimum time was essential. Gordon qualified eighth, with Dan 16th, but hopes were high for a dry raceday.
The first 16-lap race of the season, shown live on ITV4, began with a bang as Gordon had to avoid a slowing Ollie Jackson (Ford Focus) on the opening lap, but as he did so he tangles with Chris Smiley's Hyundai putting both out of the race at high speed. It meant a lot of damage was sustained by Flash's Halfords Racing with Cataclean Honda Civic Type R and a lot of work for the Team Dynamics mechanics before race two. Dan, however, avoided all the dramas on the opening lap and in his first race for the team charged up to seventh place with some brave moves around the outside at the Chicane. Dan's seventh place netted more points in one race than he had scored in his entire rookie season of 2019!
Dan's result meant that his Halfords Racing with Cataclean Honda Civic carried 21 kilos of championship success ballast for race two, the first time Dan had raced with weight in his BTCC career. After a race stoppage, Dan made a better getaway at the second time of asking and benefitted from a clash between Adam Morgan (BMW) and Tom Ingram (Hyundai) ahead of him. Dan charged up to fifth place and then battled with double-champion Jason Plato, the 97-times race winner making a mistake under Rowbo's pressure, allowing Dan to nip by for a career-best fourth place.
Gordon's Halfords Racing with Cataclean Honda was still suffering the effects of its race one damage, meaning he was a frustrated 18th, and the team needing to spend more time working on the car before race three.
As the cars headed to the grid, the rain fell for race three. Dan elected to start on wet tyres, but as the road dried, he dived for the pit lane and changed on to slicks. However, the fickle weather conditions meant that as he rejoined the circuit, the rain fell again necessitating a second pit stop to go back on to wets. That cost Dan a lap and dropped him to 21st place, while Flash, on his wet tyres, charged up to a tremendous fourth place from the back of the grid as the rain fell again late-race.
Gordon said: "It wasn't the weekend I expected, but the car felt hooked up, and it is a long, 30-race season so I'll bounce back at Snetterton. That last race was really good to charge up from the back of the grid, so it proves that the pace is in the car. We'll be pushing hard at Snetterton next month."
Said Dan: "I was hoping for three solid top 10 finishes, so to come away with a seventh and a fourth is really good. Race three was a legacy of the changing weather conditions, so I'll chalk that up to experience, but it has been a fantastic start to the season and for my relationship with Team Dynamics and the same is true for Cataclean who had a great weekend in terms of exposure. I really can't wait for Snetterton now because I really believe I will be pitching for podiums."
The results of the opening three races of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship put Dan Rowbottom seventh and Gordon Shedden 11th in the standings. Dan is also second in the Jack Sears Trophy for drivers yet to achieve an overall podium finish.
The next races in the British Touring Car Championship are at Snetterton, Norfolk, on June 12/13. Qualifying will be shown on itv.com on Saturday June 12th with all the raceday action on Sunday June 13th live on ITV4.

The last time La Vida Latina paid a visit to the talents of artist and muralist, Gamma Acosta, he had been commissioned to paint a tribute to the Denver Broncos on the Cooper Building on 17th and Curtis in downtown Denver. The mural still stands and continues to remind sports fans both from and visiting Denver which professional franchise remains king of the Mile High City.
Since finishing that mural at the peak of Broncomania in 2014, Acosta's star has continued to rise garnering national and international attention while painting on walls across the Denver Metro area and beyond.
In 2015, the native of Longmont was the lone representative from the United States invited to Brussels, Belgium to participate in North West Walls, an outdoor gallery sponsored by the music and arts festival, Rock Werchter. Painting with spray paint (his signature) on giant, stacked shipping containers, Acosta created a piece titled "Colossus of Rhodes" depicting his brother, Lorenzo, in an attempt to escape from a water tank a la Houdini.
That project, however, is just one of many that have earned Acosta worldwide fame. Athletes, in particular, have taken a liking to Acosta's signature heart and life-like depictions.
One of his most famous mural around town, that of Peyton Manning in Broncos orange and blue on 9th and Main St. in Longmont became a T-shirt during the team's Super Bowl runs of the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Aside from Broncos, Acosta delves into everything from political and timely – one buyer paid Acosta for his shattered crayons tribute to Sandy Hook and proceeded to have the entire wall cut out so the mural would never be painted over – to pop culture and communal.
Acosta caught a break nationally when he was asked to be a part of the NFL Films series "A Football Life." It was Acosta who was able to interview National Football League Hall of Fame running back, Curtis Martin, on his career that spanned 12 seasons with the New England Patriots and New York Jets while painting a mural that depicted Martin's journey to and through the NFL.
In an effort to keep the art flowing throughout Denver and beyond, Gamma Acosta and his gallery, the Gamma Gallery, are beginning the Portrait Project. According to Gamma Gallery's Facebook page, the idea of the project is to create "mural portraits of local, creative individuals" to spread around greater Denver.
The subjects to be depicted are to be individuals with a creative outlook on life such as scientists, writers, musicians, dancers, cultural icons from the community, chefs, fashionistas and philosophers among others. The murals will come to life through a collaboration between Acosta and different photographers and guest artists on the various concepts.
According to Gamma Gallery, they are still accepting nominations to either be a part of the project or to be recognized by it.
"Maybe you know a poet that deserves recognition, but hasn't found an outlet or a local cultural leader who champions community," the Facebook invitation states. To nominate an individual go to the Gamma Gallery Portrait Project on Facebook and state why that individual should be honored.

[INFOGRAPHIC] Artificial Intelligence – What's To Come In 2019?
Max Chekalov
You have probably heard a lot of talk about artificial intelligence (AI) in the last couple of years. Scientists and engineers have been trying to make computers that can mimic the human brain ever since World War II, 1943 to be exact. Despite more than 70 years of investment in it and the great advancements achieved, we are not yet where we would like to be.
AI technology, however, has come a long way since the beginning. Today, many established businesses and startups rely on this technology for their daily operations.
What Types Of Artificial Intelligence Are Out There?
There are two types of recognized AI in the world: artificial general intelligence and narrow AI. The latter is pre-programmed for particular tasks, while the former manages to find solutions to tasks that are unfamiliar. General AI, also known as strong artificial intelligence, is what the majority is striving for. This would allow computers to replicate humans behaviors and learning patterns.
While AI technology has gone pretty far and can do certain things better than humans, there's still a lot of room for improvement and future development. As a matter of fact, we expect this technology to grow by 120%-140% each year until 2025. Although exciting as to where all this could take us, there are many skeptics out there.70% of people still fear what AI could do to our day to day activities. Like many other things, however, fear is driven by a limit in understanding what the technology could do. The same research showed that 70% of surveyed people thought they understood what AI is about, however, more than half didn't know that AI can solve problems.
What Consumers Really Think of AI: Infographic
What Can Artificial Intelligence Do?
There are many different ways to implement AI in our daily lives. For example, computers can replicate simple and repetitive tasks in a more efficient way as opposed to humans, just by implementing a simple algorithm. With AI, we can also expect computers to learn and change behaviors without the need for additional programming.
Businesses are especially interested in the development of AI. These advanced machines could replace human workers by around 38% in the next 10 years. It can also prevent cyber attacks and help avoid car accidents, saving thousands of lives.
In the latest years, we have also seen how many digital businesses have implemented AI-powered chatbots to improve online customer experience. However, this is just part of it, as many startups adopt AI to also enhance the conversion funnel.
The future sees implementations of this technology across several business functions, adapting to the way users interact with other existing technologies. By 2020, for example, 30% of web browsing will occur without the user interacting with the screen. The below infographic gives more details on what's to come in 2019 with AI.

It's been kind of slow going since I started a few months ago, but if I'm going to have an audience, I should probably start posting on a more regular basis.
I have a lot of interest ranging from food to photography to computers. This blog was originally going to be a journal of my activities, then I thought about focusing on food reviews… Screw it… It's just going to be (as the sub-title suggests) random thoughts and observations about things as I see them.
Welcome to my little piece of cyber-space. I hope you enjoy your visit!
i am enjoying my visit… can't wait for more!!

PARIS – Dozens of public housing advocates are protesting outside the gutted Notre Dame in Paris to demand that France's poorest be remembered after donors pledged $1 billion to rebuild the cathedral and its destroyed roof.
Paris police monitored the peaceful protest but didn't intervene.
In addition to Arnault's pledge, another billionaire, Francois Pinault, and his son pledged 100 million euros for the reconstruction effort from their company, which owns the Christie's auction house and is the main shareholder for Gucci.
PARIS – With French police suicides on the rise, officials are expressing shock and anger after some yellow vest protesters encouraged police to kill themselves.
Radical protesters have clashed with police nearly every weekend for five months on the margins of largely peaceful yellow vest demonstrations for economic justice.
On Saturday, Associated Press reporters heard some protesters in Paris shouting "Kill yourselves!" at police firing tear gas and rubber projectiles and charging the crowd to contain the violence.
Police unions held silent protests Friday after two officers killed themselves last week. Unions say police ranks have seen 28 suicides so far this year, compared to 68 over all of 2018.
PARIS – Displaced by a massive fire, Notre Dame Cathedral's Paris parishioners are gathering to celebrate Easter in another church and to pray for a speedy reconstruction of their beloved monument.
The fire that engulfed Notre Dame during Holy Week has forced worshippers to find other places to attend Easter services. The Paris diocese invited them to attend Easter Mass on Sunday at the grandiose Saint-Eustache Church on the Right Bank of the Seine River.
Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit will lead the service. Other Catholics from around France and other countries who wanted to mark Easter in Notre Dame are also expected to attend.
Notre Dame isn't expected to reopen to the public for at least five or six years, according to its rector, although the French president is pushing for a quick reconstruction. Investigators believe the fire was an accident.
PARIS – French yellow vest protesters are marching anew to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn't the only problem the nation needs to solve.
PARIS – A French court cleared of defamation charges six women who accused a former French lawmaker of sexual misconduct and the journalists who reported the allegations.
The court ordered Friday the former lawmaker, Denis Baupin, to pay 1,000 euros ($1,120) in damages to each of the 12 persons he sued.
In May 2016, investigative website Mediapart and radio station France Inter published and broadcast accounts from 14 women who alleged Baupin had groped, sexted and otherwise harassed them.
The prominent Green Party member then resigned as vice president of the lower House of Parliament. He denied wrongdoing and launched a defamation lawsuit against the six women who were identified in the reports, some witnesses and journalists.
The rector of Notre Dame says a "computer glitch" might have caused the fire that ravaged a large part of the cathedral this week.
Le Parisien newspaper has reported that investigators are looking at whether the fire could have been linked to a computer glitch, or related to the temporary elevators used in the renovation work, among other things.
Chauvet added that investigators are still unable to access the cathedral's nave for security reasons.
French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting officials from the United Nations' cultural agency, where he is expected to set out ideas for the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral.
He will meet with state delegates from UNESCO, which oversees global heritage issues, in the Elysee Palace Friday.
Macron's push for a speedy rebuild indicates he wants the fire-ravaged monument's reconstruction to be part of his legacy, and is seizing the moment to try to move on from the divisive yellow vest protests. His initial wish for it to be rebuilt in just five years was met with incredulity.
Macron had been due to deliver an uneasy speech Monday setting out long-awaited plans to quell anti-government protests that have marred his presidency, but it was postponed after the fire broke out.
PARIS – The brother of Islamic extremist Mohamed Merah has been convicted of complicity to murder for his involvement in a horrific 2012 attack in southern France that killed seven people.
An appeals court in Paris on Thursday raised Abdelkader Merah's sentence from 20 years to 30 after finding him guilty of the additional charge. He had previously been convicted of ties to terrorism but acquitted of conspiracy to murder, leading prosecutors to lodge an appeal.
Mohamed Merah killed three soldiers before opening fire on a Jewish school, slaying a rabbi, his two young sons and a schoolgirl, in the Toulouse area in March 2012.
He died days after the killings following a standoff with France's police special forces.
It was France's deadliest school shooting and the bloodiest attack on Jewish targets in decades.
