I have just finished reading The Rosie Project, and had the overwhelming urge to share this book with you right.this.minute, because: BEST BOOK EVER. No, really. It is my absolute new favourite book, and I promise - no, I guarantee it - it will be yours, too. If you are looking for a feel-good book that will make you smile from ear to ear, this is it. Happiness guaranteed!
Picture Sheldon Cooper, but one that can cook, likes to drink, and does Martial Arts, and you get an idea of the main character Don Tillman. He is highly intelligent, a professor of genetics, but severely lacks in social skills and companionship. He has convinced himself that he isn't "wired for love", but one of his few friends keeps telling him that he would make "a wonderful husband". Research has proven that married men are happier and live longer, and Don, never one to argue with science, embarks on the Wife Project. He devises a questionnaire in order to find the perfect wife: One that doesn't smoke, eats meat, is punctual and logical. In short, the female equivalent to himself.
Certainly not someone like Rosie: A smoker, late-arriver, impulsive vegetarian who works in a bar. Rosie is on a quest herself: She is looking for her biological father, whose identity her dead mother never revealed to her. She teams up with Don, and together they embark on the Father Project: a wild ride of cocktail making, dancing, breaking out of routines, and the dawning realization that true love can be found in unexpected places.
I absolutely loved this book. Don is awkward and stiff, but endearingly honest and so likeable that you can't help but cheer for him. It's hilarious, entertaining, with unexpected twists and a very important lesson: People are not always what they seem. Read it, it's amazing! A resounding five stars.
I loved this one too!! Are you going to read the sequel?
PS - My favorite part was when they were serving drinks at the med school reunion and he's kicking tail with the fancy drink recommendations! Soooo funny. I laughed so much through the whole book really.
Already started it, and it promises to be just as good - maybe even better!
The Great Cocktail Night was spectacular! It's a wonderful book, truly special.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'd heard a little about it but I'll definitely have to pick it up now. Have a lovely day.
Please do, it's SO GOOD!!! I'm currently reading the sequel "The Rosie Effect", and it's at least as good, if not better. Awesome, feel-good books!
I've been wanting to read this for awhile. I think it just got bumped up on my list!
It's seriously SO good. I just read the sequel "The Rosie Effect" which may be even better. I don't know how that's even possible, but it is! Hands down my favourite books right now. Read them now!! I guarantee you maximum enjoyment.

Winifred Smith Alley
June 27, 1926 - January 01, 2021
Winifred S. Alley died peacefully on Friday, January 1, 2021 surrounded by members of her loving family.
Winifred was born in 1926 in Birmingham, Alabama, the second of four children born to Paul E. and Winifred R. Smith. Although she grew up during the Depression, her family always had enough food to eat thanks to her grandparents' farm in South Alabama that produced abundant meat, milk, and vegetables.
Winifred was educated in Birmingham public schools and later attended Montevallo College in Montevallo, Alabama, where she received her B.S. in Education. Although she never would have described herself as a feminist, her bold and independent actions challenged stereotypes of how women of that time were supposed to behave. Case in point: After graduation from college she decided to travel cross-country alone finding various jobs along the way. One of those jobs was at a military base in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where she stacked and sorted computer punch cards that were part of the covert Project Manhattan. She was oblivious to the information contained on those cards, but she was very much aware of the attention from the many handsome soldiers who asked her out on dates every night of the week.
Winifred returned to the South and took a teaching job in Dalton, Georgia, where she met another handsome soldier who had just returned from World War II. He had a funny first name and a car and insisted on giving her rides to and from school. The ride-sharing arrangement turned into a courtship, and Winifred married Ogburn Alley in 1951. They were married for 37 years and had one son, David.
Although Winifred taught kindergarten for more than 10 years, she was first and foremost a homemaker, a wife, and a mother. She enjoyed dancing at the Elks Club, boating on the Tennessee River, and reading mystery novels. She did not like to cook so she devised a strict rotation of meals to minimize stress. If you found salmon croquettes, tater tots and green beans on your plate you could be sure it was Thursday.
Winifred was an active member of the Presbyterian Church in Dalton, serving as Sunday school teacher and Bible study leader. In the 1980's she was elected as one of the first female Elders in the Presbyterian Church. Upon moving to Savannah in 2008 she faithfully attended all Sunday and Wednesday night services, and enjoyed going out to eat with many new friends. She joked that she could escape cooking two or three days a week because Presbyterians loved to break bread together.
With the untimely death of her husband in 1988, Winifred began a twenty year adventure of international travel. She filled every page of eight passports with stamps from countries exotic and familiar. She visited six of the seven continents, only missing Antarctica because she didn't like the cold. She sometimes traveled with her two sisters, but mostly alone on tours arranged by her dedicated travel agent. She could not pass up a good deal. Once in the early 1990's after a terrorist bombing of an airline she heard of a package deal to Paris which included the flight and hotel stay for five days for less than $500. Without a moment's hesitation off she went.
Whether paddling down the Amazon or spending the night in a yurt in the Mongolian desert, Winifred's heart was never far from home. She loved her parents, her sisters, her son, her daughter-in-law, and her four grandchildren. She much preferred talking about their lives and accomplishments to talking about her own. She was a practical, plain-spoken, and humble person who suffered no fools, but was kind to everyone.
A private memorial service in her honor will take place on Saturday, January 9. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family asks for donations to the Cure Alzheimer's Fund https://curealz.org/ or the Holly Alley scholarship fund through the Georgia Nutrition Council https://site.extension.uga.edu/gnc/.
Winnie Alley was a class act all the way. As Sunny's friend, our daughter enjoyed many adventures with this cool grandmother (I remember a trip to the Mall of America?) I admired her greatly for her spirit, her kindness and her energy. I know she will be missed and you all have our deepest sympathy. —Susan and John Humma
- Susan Humma, Statesboro, GA
I loved Winnie! She taught my daughter, Kris, in kindergarten and she and I both served as elders for First Presbyterian Church Dalton as well as co- chairs of Presbyterian Women. We accomplished a lot and had fun doing it.
- Annelle Hogshead Scott, Dalton, Georgia

'Witchblade' Is Getting A TV Reboot On NBC – Will Make Metal Clad Bikini Cops Great Again!
NBC has not had a good track record when it's come to super hero shows. Remember the wasted opportunity that was Heroes? Or how about The Cape, which was the exact type of show the superhero genre didn't need. Then, when they did eventually get a superhero show right, and manage to create a fanbase with something like Constantine… they went and cancelled it. Tsk…tsk. Whoever at NBC is in charge of making creative decisions (we can only assume it's a Dr. Claw type character sitting in an overly sized chair stroking a cat) clearly doesn't know a thing about the comic book / superhero genre. But to their credit, their aiming for a change-un'.
DC has been no stranger to great television and that is due to the amazing characters they have developed off the pages of comics and onto the small screen. The likes of Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, and more have been lighting up the airwaves, but have you ever stopped to consider the dangers they pose to regular folks? That's the premise for Powerless debuting on NBC this year. Powerless follows run-of-the-mill human, Emily Locke, as she begins working for a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises (yes, THAT Wayne) that develops specialized products used to make normal people feel a little safer around all the metas flying/running around.

Most beginners and amateur users of Google Analytics do not realize the real potential of this tool. They use it only to display a single, default view for one property, forgetting that Google Analytics allows them to display views for multiple properties and segregate the data by adding a few filters. How does it work? When you are creating a new view in Google Analytics, go to the Admin tab and add a new property, if you want to see the statistics for more than one site.
From the Admin tab you can also access View settings and go to Filters. This is the tab, where you can create Custom filters, for example, you can choose a combination of filters to display statistics only for returning visitors or you can set your filters to show only visitors redirected from your social media sites. This way you can easily check the effectiveness of your social media promotion or how attractive your Magento store is to customers.
If you apply multiple filters to create one view, you have to consider the chronological order of the filters. What does it mean? The filtering is performed in stages, which correspond with the order of the chosen filters from the first to the last. The second filter you have chosen is applied to the results of the first filtering; the third filter is applied to the results of the second filtering and so on.
Therefore, start with the most general filter and then apply the more specific ones to achieve accurate results.
Google Analytics can be also used to measure page load time, redirection time, server connection or server response time and analyze other features, which can affect the site speed. To create a Site Speed Overview, go to the Behavior tab and select Site Speed.
One of the best features of Google Analytics is the Speed Suggestion section, which analyzes the performance of all your pages and provides you with suggestions regarding the pages, which need speeding up the most (Google Analytics assumes the rule that the most popular pages of your online store require faster loading than the less popular ones) and the tips you can use to improve page load time.
Remember, though, that to speed up your Magento store you might need something more than just a few tips from Google Analytics. If your statistics are far from perfect and if you see no effects of applying the site speed suggestions, call Magento custom development company and ask for a thorough analysis of your site speed to solve all problems with the performance of your online store.
What Is The Difference Between Adaptive And Responsive Web Design?


Some people name their kid from their generation or others might want some new, unique or just popular (common) baby names. Finding the right name can of course be a challenging task. When deciding to find and selecting a name one of the 'many' things to keep in mind is that a name will be carried out throughout the child's life, so hopefully the name will sound good, look good and feel good to the parents and others and maybe come with its own good meaning.
Anyway here are some Cool Names for Babies if you're interested in checking out or you can view just baby names on the right side of the page if you want. When thinking about finding the right name one should choose a name that will still sound good during his childhood of course, his adolescense, his adult years and when he becomes a father or a mother for a girl, etc. Also a name should not contain a meaning or the name itself should not sound weird or strange enough that might cause some kind embarrassment to be introduced to the child or in his/her older years. So when wanting to choose a name try to keep in mind that the name will remain with them for the rest of their lives, so this should not create any kind of embarassment or a humilation to their own unique personality.
How do meanings work for baby names?
Well some, more or less, names out there with meanings I believe and maybe this is obvious to 'most' people, is also (other than the literate translation) written by figure of speech or in other words or word "metaphors". Now what I mean by that is the meanings are so and so because to make it more meaningful to what baby name a person will want to choose. So for eg: 'Aslan' which is a name in Turkish (rarely used), its meaning is 'Lion', one would add brave, courageous, etc. This would be describing the Lion's self of how the animal is in it's habitat. So a person can make it more meaningful by choosing this said name and remembering the lion's traits/attributes and then giving this particular name to a baby or themselves. Also some or most names will have more than a word of meaning attached to it, those are basically synonyms. Having those can give a person more option in finding the meanings they really like and a more detailed idea on what the name they want really means if they are interested in looking for that. Anyway take care and sorry if my post or article was 'annoyingly put' or too boring to read.

Artificial intransigence
June 24th, 2004 by Ben Goldacre in bad science, bbc, dangers, nanniebots, new scientist | 2 Comments »
· You may remember Jim Wightman. He claimed to have written a piece of chat software that could pass itself off as a real child in a chatroom, and identify internet paedophiles by behaviour. To say this was thought highly dubious is an understatement – the software, if it existed, would have been 10 years ahead of everything written by huge teams of AI academics; he offered to let us see the software working, and then refused; and the NSPCC and Barnardo's distanced themselves from his ideas about monitoring children's activities himself with no child protection background. Embarrassingly, New Scientist accepted his claims uncritically, and the BBC and others followed suit, although New Scientist did, after two pieces here, remove their glowing article about him from their website.
· Now they're back with Wightman. Here's what happened. New Scientist visited Jim at home with two AI academics to chat with the program. In previous "test conversations", over the web, without experimenters being able to see that the computer was not connected to any others, the program gave highly sophisticated answers after a suspiciously long delay (almost as if someone was typing them). This time it instantly gave rubbish computer-generated responses, nothing like those in the previous transcripts. In fact, it gave the very same answers that Alice, an old and not very sophisticated AI program, written by somebody else, not Wightman, gave in subsequent tests. Then Wightman offered to show them the code … but suddenly, and inexplicably, the power to Jim's whole house went off. The test was over. Imagine.
· Did New Scientist finally give it up? No. "New Scientist can still provide no definitive proof of Wightman's claims, but looks forward to a return visit when the complete ChatNannies software is available for testing." Please. Did they ask Wightman about his unlikely claim to have a seven-figure offer from an American corporation which had "full independent testing performed on the AI and are confident of its validity and effecacy[sic]"? He was apparently quite capable of giving them a proper demonstration. Did they quiz Wightman on his previous false claims about writing software, or any of the other issues Bad Science raised? No. To those of us brought up loving the great institution that is New Scientist it is, as Tibor Fischer said, a bit like bouncing out of the classroom at breaktime, only to catch your favourite uncle masturbating in the school playground.
Get yourself a proper science education

· It's hard to know who to trust in these dark days. Although an article in Physics Today by Dr John Hubisz suggests that US school science textbooks might not be your best bet (www.tinyurl.com/2l3dk). Ever heard the 50Hz low bass mains hum coming through your crappy stereo? Me too. So you'll be surprised to hear that elephant vocal sounds occur at 400Hz, and so can't be heard by humans. Middle A is at 440Hz after all, and there are about 40 notes on the piano below that. Pictures of prisms bending light the wrong way; Van de Graaff generators that store charge in their base; lamps that supply voltage; and absolute zero defined as the temperature at which molecules are so cold they don't move. It's enough to drive you to the humanities.
· Not strictly bad science but, as reader Catherine Moulton points out: if you really want to get kids experimenting with science for themselves, you could try www.geekdiy.com. Allow me to illustrate the depths of my childish irresponsibility. Capacitors are the big round things you see on circuit boards when you pull electronic stuff apart. They store the potential energy of accumulated electrons in the form of an electric field, across two metal plates. That's how the little batteries in disposable cameras can build up enough energy to set off a big flash from the bulb on the front. The page on geekdiy is down now, but frankly, if that isn't enough information for you to construct your own stun gun for £8.99 then you don't deserve one. Suffice to say, when the oil runs out in 30 years and modern civilisation is annihilated in a hideous nuclear war, and we're all fighting each other tooth and nail for tins of genetically modified baked beans … I don't rate the chances of the humanities graduates much.
· Meanwhile, on geekdiy.com you can still find all kinds of useful tricks to help you reconstruct a post-enlightenment society after the holocaust, including a powerful high-quality Dobsonian telescope from an old record player and some household bits and pieces; a full-sized remote controlled car for those hit and run shopping trips; an android head to guard your booty; and a mountainside covered with fake snow, so you don't have to miss out on those snowboarding holidays just because the aeroplanes are all being lived in by extras from Mad Max. Get yourself a proper scientific education: it's later than you think.

Pseudo corner
Nigel Calder should know better than to make the assertions he tossed out at the Hay festival (the Guardian, June 3). To state that any new discovery necessarily nullifies previous knowledge is absurd. Every discovery leads to dozens of new problems. And each of those gives rise to a new discovery to solve it.
There is always the possibility of a breakthrough which changes our view on a subject, but those are few. Far, far more common are the discoveries that act as stepping stones to new knowledge. The timbre of Mr Calder's arguments treads uncomfortably close to the persecution theories and born-before-our-time laments of the quacks and pseudoscientists that Ben Goldacre so laudably works to eradicate in his Bad Science column.

Laura Barton quotes me, very kindly.
As if by magic
So, there's an instant potion for lean, toned thighs? Hmm, says Laura Barton
Monday June 7, 2004
As the season of swimsuits beckons, our thoughts naturally turn to Slimfast, Atkins and half-arsed intentions of taking the stairs – last-ditch efforts, of course, to acquire the thighs of Halle Berry before we take ourselves off to the beach. But for those of us who cannot haul ourselves off the chaise longue and detach ourselves from the custard creams, come an exciting array of firming lotions and potions. These require only five minutes of our time spent inelegantly posed in the bathroom, dolloping herbal gloop on our thighs in the hope that it will "firm", "tone" and "reduce" those lumpen bits of our anatomy.
Article continues
The notion that ladling cream on to one's curvier bits might help us to lose several inches does, in saner moments, appear ludicrous. What is this cream going to do with the squadgy inches of podge? Eat it? Evaporate it? Feed it to the ducks? Nevertheless, in this isle alone, the "slimming creams" market is worth £30 million a year, and the shelves are heaving with impossibly-named products – Clarins Body Lift Contour Control, Shiseido Advanced Essential Energy Body Firming Cream, Christian Dior Bikini Anti-Cellulite.
"Skincare companies are really, really, really good at making pseudo-scientific claims," explains Ben Goldacre, author of the Guardian's Bad Science column. "They'll say 'Vitamin E and collagen are essential for the cross-molecular structure of whatever,' in technical grand terms, without making any claim that the specific ingredient will have any effect on your skin. They blind you with cell-biology-level rhetoric and then they say 'and our cream will moisturise your skin!' Which even Vaseline will do. And they say things like, 'you'll absorb the nutrients through your skin,' when you absorb nutrients through your gut. Your skin is very thick and dead and designed to be impervious, not letting things in or out. Otherwise you'd leak."
But so lucrative is the market that, as summer arrives, one can barely move without seeing a lady's naked bottom plastered across billboards and buses and squashed between segments of Coronation Street. And what a peachy derriere it is – unsagging, uncellulited and without stretch marks. Dove was the first this season, with its ad showing "real women" in sensible undergarments. They were curvy and fulsome, but my, they were firm. Now the skincare giants appear to have moved beyond touting their products' firming properties and on to shouting about the actual slimming effects. The latest Roc ad, for example, shows a lady tugging at the gaping waistband of her jeans – beneath claims of dropping a dress size.
But at up to £20 a pop, do they work? Last month, a study by the French Consumer Association announced that two creams, L'Oréal PerfectSlim and Elancyl Chrono Actif, could actually reduce a lady's (or, one presumes, a gentleman's) thighs by two centimetres in two weeks. Two centimetres is not to be sniffed at, but the nagging question remains: is cream a long-term solution?
"It's tempting to think you can buy thin thighs out of a bottle," concedes Susie Whalley, co-author of Running Made Easy and features editor at Zest magazine. "But you shouldn't rely on lotions and potions. You might lose a couple of centimetres off your thighs if you're lucky, but you're never going to shed half a stone. Exercise gives you lots of other health benefits that you won't get in a squeezy tube. It improves heart health, boosts self-confidence, makes you feel more energised and gives you improved circulation, which helps with cellulite, and your skin facially will improve – that healthy flush tends to last."
Yes, yes, Susie, but what about the thighs? "I would say you would really notice a difference after running for three weeks," she says. "If you've altered your eating habits a little you might have lost 3-4lbs and you'll feel slimmer all over. You might feel your thighs are toning and tightening up."
The problem is that exercise involves some degree of public humiliation, sweat and physical exertion. And "altering your eating habits" requires, well, not having seconds and laying off the sauce. We want these slimming and firming creams because they're easy and we're lazy. But the hard truth is there is no magical fix. You want slimmer thighs? Eat fewer cream horns, honey. Do some exercise. It ain't rocket science.
That floaty feeling

Talk about bad science here
· You won't be surprised that I get a lot of critical email. This is very embarrassing, but it's best that I put my hands up and admit it: last week, I was wrong. In my defence, I am a very angry man, but that's no excuse for getting in a huff and throwing out pejorative statements like "blood is not magnetic" because, as reader Mark van Ments – who may be the pickiest scientist in the world – points out, blood does, like all objects, exhibit diamagnetism (see Letters, page 10). Thanks Mark. What I meant to say is: blood is not ferro-magnetic. Diamagnetism was first thought through 150 years ago: the electrons orbiting an atom, being charged, are going to readjust their orbits when you stick them in a strong magnetic field, as you might expect. But in doing so, they then create their own magnetic field. To be fair [coughs] the effect is so weak that the rest of the world is roughly one billion times less magnetic than a lump of iron but yes, hands up, that doesn't mean it's not significant. And, let's not be in any doubt, the most significant application of diamagnetism research is to allow mankind, and specifically me, to fly, unaided, like Superman.
· People have been levitating chunks of diamagnetic superconductor for years: that's a bit easier, what with superconductors (unlike me) being specifically designed to let electrons roam around in them unhindered. But I don't want to fly like Superman through liquid nitrogen; I want to do it where it's safe to wear my Y-fronts over my corduroy trousers. Objects other than superconductors proved marginally trickier, but in 1991 Beaugnon and Tournier levitated water, and were soon followed by others who levitated liquid hydrogen and frogs' eggs.
· But most promising is the work of Berry and Geim, who in 1997 levitated practically everything they could get their hands on, from hazelnuts and pieces of pizza to frogs and a mouse. Watching the video of a frog hovering in mid-air is a humbling and weirdly tranquil experience. For the anti-vivisectionists among you there is a film of a levitating strawberry. The basic small levitation set-up, of superconducting magnet with room temperature core, only costs about $100,000. To levitate yourself, you will need a special racetrack magnet of about 40 Tesla in the back garden, a socket in your home capable of providing around 1GW of continuous power consumption, and an extension cable with a 5 million amp fuse. Don't forget it's my birthday soon.
June 3rd, 2004 by Ben Goldacre in bad science, letters, magnets | 2 Comments »
Strong magnets can affect blood
Although blood does not appear to be magnetic at common levels of magnetism, I believe you are wrong to say it is not affected by magnetism at all (Bad Science, May 27). With a sufficient magnetic field it is possible to levitate any material, including blood, or even an entire frog using magnetism.
As to the medical benefits of using magnetism in this way, apparently the frog suffered no ill effects.

Unique Collections On Black History In Canada
#SHARE THEIR STORY
It is not every engineer whose innovation has actually added a term to the English language, but so it was with African Canadian-born inventor Elijah McCoy. The automatic oiling device he invented in 1872 revolutionized steam train technology. It was much imitated, but his own version was so much more effective that for many railroads, only the "real McCoy" would do.
The son of freedom-seekers from Kentucky, Elijah was born on March 2, 1844, in Colchester, Canada
West (Ontario). His parents were George and Millie McCoy. Although born a slave, George had been
freed by his white father, Henry McCoy, a tobacco grower and cigar manufacturer, at the age of 21.
However, Millie was enslaved to the Gains family 1 and thus any children the McCoys might have were
destined, under American law, to be enslaved as well. They fled to Canada in about 1837 with the help
of the Underground Railroad.

OCHAZUKE: Mangoes, Mangoes, Mangoes
Posted On July 31, 2014 Columnists
By GWEN MURANAKA
Macaron ikaga desu ka? That was my spiel last Saturday at the Mangoes at the Moana festival in Waikiki.
With my white apron, boxes and boxes of handmade macaron cookies, and my husband at my side, I offered samples to the tourists and locals who attended the Mangoes at the Moana festival at the Moana Surfrider. It felt a little like being one of those servers at Costco as festival-goers would descend in waves to try free samples. Desserts like macarons are meant to be enjoyed with the eyes as well as the taste buds, so once I had cut and smashed the little chewy cookies into samples, I had woefully destroyed a big part of their appeal, but folks seemed to enjoy them.
Next up for Eric, a sampling of chocolate and vanilla macarons at Rob Fukuzaki's golf tournament for the Heads Up Youth Foundation that took place this week.
There was even a Rafu reader, a Hawaii local, who read about the event in my column and stopped by to say hello. Chefs, including Lee Anne Wong, a former "Top Chef" contestant, now executive chef at Koko Head Café in Honolulu, created dishes using all manner of mangoes. In a large exhibition hall, samples of fresh-cut mangoes of many varieties were there to sample. I had no idea that there were so many different types with different degrees of sweet and tart.
Afterwards, my nephew Kenny gave us a Haden mango and explained that the Haden is prized by locals for its sweetness. According to the mango industry's official website, there are six varieties that are most common in the U.S. The Haden actually originated in South Florida in 1910.
All smiles at the Mangoes at the Moana Festival in Hawaii. (Photo by Leslie Naritoku)
Maybe it's their tropical origins, but the names of mango varieties sound to me like characters out of a Jimmy Buffett song: Ataulfo, Haden, Francis, Kent, Keitt and Tommy Atkins. I imagine them all hanging out poolside in tacky Aloha shirts and big bellies, drinking tropical drinks. With mangoes, naturally.
A lot of mainland Japanese Americans with ties to Hawaii avoid Waikiki and all its tourists. Highlights for us are places like Like Like or Rainbow Drive Inn. When I was a kid, I'd go with my mom to Sears, Liberty House, Crack Seed Center and Shirokiya in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Today, most of that mall caters to upscale overseas tourists and is now packed with the latest fashions from Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo and Prada.
Since the festival was in Waikiki that's where we spent the bulk of our time. A highlight was a visit to the Lawson convenience store, conveniently located in the Sheraton Waikiki where we were staying.
In Tokyo, there seems to be a Lawson conbini on every corner. But this was the first time I have seen one since I was in Japan. Entering the store, there was the scent of something undeniably Japanese: oden. Just like in Japan, there was a big metal container of oden next to the register.
Oden is a dish comprised of things like eggs, daikon, atsuage and konnyaku, all stewing in a warm dashi broth. It's great during the winter months and the scent, while not entirely pleasant, makes me nostalgic for Tokyo. Actually I had some for breakfast one morning, along with some musubi and they were excellent.
In a 2013 interview with Asahi, Lawson group CEO Genichi Tamatsuka said the Waikiki store is the first in what they hope is a broader expansion into the American market. The appeal of Waikiki is easy to understand: lots of Japanese and Japanese Americans gives the convenience store chain a big customer base to build upon.
So many Japanese retailers are now venturing into the U.S. Popular chains such as Daiso, Uniqlo, and Muji Ryohin are now opening stores in New York, L.A. and San Francisco.
Maybe someday soon, we'll have conbini oden here as well.
Whatever the misdeeds of disgraced former Councilmember Richard Alarcon and a jury last week found him to have committed a few — namely voter fraud and perjury — he must be also remembered for some noted accomplishments.
Richard Alarcon
For Japanese Americans, that list would include his support for the preservation of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station. Last summer, it was Alarcon and his staff that pushed for Los Angeles Cultural Historical Monument status for the camp that once housed Japanese Americans, as well as Germans, Italians and Japanese Peruvians during World War II.
Alarcon did right by the JA community and his support of Tuna Canyon was critical to ensuring that the history of what took place there more than 70 years ago isn't lost.
For those who hate politics, the motive of a politician on any issue will be looked at with suspicion. Every decision, every vote, every handshake is a step on the path to either staying in office or reaching even higher.
To me, the shame of term limits and the let's-throw-them-all-out mentality is that it has created this environment where our politicos are forever jumping from one seat to the next, like sharks that have to continue to move along or they will die.
When the City Council handed down the decision, Alarcon said, "Declaring the Tuna Canyon Detention Station as a Historic-Cultural Monument allows us to protect this important piece of our history, and give us the opportunity to continue to learn from our past mistakes and preserve this lesson for generations to come."
Alarcon has himself made mistakes. Tuna Canyon isn't one of them.

Five Fun Facts: Mr. Kanye West
Mr. West, a 2010 ESSENCE Fest performer, is turning 37 years old! Here are five fun facts about the rapper that you might not know.
Douglas Mason
By · May 27, 2014 October 27, 2020
Kanye West, who turns 37 on June 8, has a lot to celebrate the days. The former ESSENCE Festival headliner and 21-time Grammy winner is now a happily married man and father. Despite his bragadocious persona, one can't deny Mr. West's musical talent. In this week's Fun Fact Friday, we hip you to some things you might not know about the rapper you love to hate the most.
1. Kanye had an exciting childhood. When he was in the fifth grade, Kanye moved to China with his mother, Donda West.
2. Kanye comes from a long line of activists and artists. His father, Ray West was a member of the Black Panther Party as well as one of the first black photo journalists of the esteemed Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Some of West's photos include President Ronald Reagan and Maya Angelou. And on his classic debut album College Dropout he speaks about his grandfather taking his mother to participate in lunch counter sit-ins in the 60s.
3. Prior to marrying his wife, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West blogged that Scarlett Johansson was his favorite "white girl."
4. His debut album College Dropout had impressive first-week sales, but his 2005 follow up, Late Registation, sold 860,000 its first week, landing at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a first for any rapper in history.
5. The reason why Kanye West performed most of his "Yeezus" tour wearing a mask is because, according to him, it's "freeing." During an interview, West said that wearing the mask allows him to be anyone he wants to be.

Iran launches underground ballistic missiles for first time

Iranian missile, 23 July 2017 [Vahid Reza Alaei/Iranian Defense Ministry]
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said yesterday it launched ballistic missiles from "the depths of the Earth" for the first time, international news agencies reported local media saying.
The launch took place, Al Jazeera reported, during the last day of military exercises near Gulf waters.
In a statement reported by Al Jazeera, the IRGC said it was "the first time in the world" that such an exercise had been carried out.
The IRGC hailed "the successful launch of ballistic missiles from the depths of the Earth in a completely camouflaged way" as an "important achievement that could pose serious challenges to enemy intelligence organisations."
It also released bombs from Sukhoi Su-22 fighter jets to target predetermined positions on Bani Farur Island in Iran's territorial waters.

"These launches were carried out without the platform and usual equipment," Al Jazeera reported the IRGC aerospace chief Brigadier-General Amirali Hajizadeh saying on state television.
"The buried missiles suddenly tear through the ground and hit their targets with precision," he said.
During the exercise, the IRGC launched missiles at a mock-up US aircraft carrier in the Gulf waters, prompting American criticism as Washington described the measure as "irresponsible".

When it concerns family pets - most individuals have concern as well as will certainly sustain rather a bit. Carpetings, nevertheless, can only endure a lot pet urine. The unsightly spots and unwanted gives off family pets can be combated. Is there a technique of family pet smell and also stain elimination that functions on rugs and also furniture? I really think there is - and, I've tested numerous products on home rugs.
There are situations where the urine damages is so serious in a carpeting that restoration or replacement of the rug is required. Certainly, it is for the consumer to make a decision when the time comes for brand-new rugs in the home.
It's challenging to have a grassy residence as well as a number of pets. Individuals that love family pets usually apply normal treatments of differing products for animal odor elimination. This is required to battle a problem that is consistent. Yet does it always function?
Animal urine is generally left at the very same location on the rug in time, https://www.colomba.bg/profesionalno-pochistvane/premahvane-na-mirizmi-ozonirane and also the aroma as well as discolor can develop. Since it is fluid, it passes through the carpet backing as well as even the floor covering product below. Also when it dries out, pet urine takes shape as well as remains in the carpeting as well as surrounding products. Pet dog urine odors, especially when deposited at the same area in the carpeting, are irreversible until properly eliminated.
There have been several over-the-counter as well as specialty urine as well as pet odor removal products on the marketplace, however none seem as comprehensive as P.U.R.T.A (Animal Pee Removal Treatment) by Chem Dry.
Surrounding areas where the pet dog urine has permeated needs to be treated, not simply the rug discolorations. P.U.R.T. is specifically developed as well as tested for elimination of pet dog pee odors-- forever. It is likewise a system that includes cleansing of rug, pads, below flooring, walls and tack strips. This thoroughness in cleaning surfaces makes sure complete removal of discolorations as well as odors. If surfaces require to be replaced or shellacked, this can be done also. Each discolor is various so various solutions might be taken into consideration and also can be used.
For elimination of pet discolorations as well as odors from upholstered furniture, pick an excellent upholstery cleansing service, perhaps connected to a carpeting cleansing solution. Carbonated cleansing procedures as well as services work well here to assist eliminate pet spots and smells. With a final warm water removal - furnishings resembles new as well as discolorations and smells are removed.
Given that all of this cleansing is as a result of animals, it's an excellent concept to check to make certain products utilized are risk-free for children or animals. Since these types of products are utilized in the residence, they are designated safe for usage. Customers who wish to make use of environment-friendly or organic products may request this from their carpeting cleaning company.
Discovering to cope with animals as well as their crashes is much less complicated if you have a reliable approach of handling them regularly. Though instant elimination with a cleaning item might address the problem of pet odor removal in the short-term, it ought to never be the only option. Use properly evaluated products or get in touch with a rug cleaning company for the most experienced elimination of family pet smells as well as discolorations and the results will certainly be lengthy lasting.

The ruins and remains of Mexico's pre-Columbian civilizations enchant, intrigue, fascinate and puzzle. Of them the oldest and earliest, that of people referred-to as Olmecs, is the most enigmatic -- for they challenge present-day scholars to explain how had people from Africa come and settled and thrived in this part of the New World, thousands of years before Columbus.
We know how they looked because they left behind countless sculptures, marvelously carved in stone, depicting them; some, in fact, are stone portraits of Olmec leaders; colossal in size, they immortalize in stone what, to many, has been an unpleasant enigma.
It was not until 1925 that the existence of the Olmecs was reaffirmed when an archaeological team from Tulane University found another such gigantic stone head in the adjoining Mexican state of Tabasco; it measured about eight feet in height and weighed some twenty four tons.
In time, many more such colossal sculptures have been found; they depict distinctly different individuals wearing helmets; they also clearly depict, in each case, a person with African features -- black Africans.
As archaeological discovery followed archaeological discovery, it became evident that in a vast central area of Mexico stretching from the Gulf coast to the Pacific coast, these "Olmecs" built major urban centers, engaged in mining, were the first in Mesoamerica to have a calendar and hieroglyphic writing, and established what is by now recognized as Mesoamerica's Mother Civilization.
The problem that this posed was twofold: Not only the issue of Negroid Africans somehow crossing the Atlantic Ocean and settling in the New World before others; but also the incredible antiquity of such arrival. This problem was dealt with by first suggesting that the Olmecs appeared after more famed peoples such as the Mayas; then by grudgingly acknowledging earlier dates B.C. --250 B.C., then 500 B.C., then 1250 B.C., then even 1500 B.C.
Faced with such evidence, the solution was to deny that these were Africans ... Even now a noted scholar, writing in the official catalogue of the Museum of Anthropology of Jalapa, states in regard to the individuals depicted in the sculptures: "in spite of the general similarity of features -- flat noses with flaring nostrils and thickened lips (leading some to falsely claim an African origin for the Olmec)," etc.
So: "To falsely claim an African origin for the Olmecs"!
And this brings me to the Case of the Missing Elephant.
Jalapa, a gem of a town, is about two hours' drive from Veracruz (where the Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes landed in 1519). Its museum is undoubtedly second only to the famed one in Mexico City; but unlike Mexico City's which displays artifacts from all over the country, the Jalapa one exhibits only locally discovered artifacts -- predominantly Olmec ones.
Dramatically and effectively displayed in an innovative setting, the Museum boasts several colossal stone heads as well as other stone sculptures. It also displays smaller objects found at Olmec sites; among them, in special display showcases, are what are considered to be Olmec "toys." They include animals mounted on wheels -- a visual and evidentiary negation of the common claim that the people of Mesoamerica (and America in general) were unfamiliar with the wheel.
And included in the same display case were elephants -- "toys" made of clay.
Gone - Where and Why?
I, and some of my fans who accompanied me, saw them on previous visits to the Museum.
BUT when I (and again some of my fans with me) was there recently -- in December 1999 -- the elephants were nowhere in sight!
Now, here is the significance of this small artifact: There are no, and never have been, elephants in the Americas. There are and have been elephants in Africa. And a depiction of an elephant could have been made only by someone who has seen an elephant, i.e. someone who has been to Africa!
At this and other museums later visited in December 1999, guards have asserted that objects that I wished to point out and that were written up in my book The Lost Realms but somehow vanished, were loaned for an overseas exhibit.
Perhaps. But that such a hard-to-explain depiction of an elephant would be selected to highlight Mexico's ancient heritage, is either unlikely or highly significant.
I suppose one will have to revisit Jalapa and find out whether the little elephant is back among the "toys."

JP Maurice performs at the Dirty Jersey
Vancouver-based artist plays Kamloops with his recently released EP "Girls"
Culture Feb. 1, 2017 Jennifer Will
JP Maurice and his band play the Dirty Jersey on Saturday, Jan. 28. (Jennifer Will/The Omega)
JP Maurice rocked the Dirty Jersey with a pulsing piano and thumping bass. Maurice is an up-and-coming Vancouver-based musician that released his new EP "Girls" on Jan. 13.
"It's been two years in the making. I put out my first solo record at the end of 2013 and started work on this one at the end 2014 in Toronto," Maurice said.
The EP is a unique blend of moody indie pop and introspection. It takes influences from Wintersleep and Radiohead to create a melancholic reflection of trying to find one's self. It also includes a variety of collaborations including one from producers Russell Broom and Ted Gowans.
"I really tried to do a lot of collaborating with other writers last March," Maurice said.
Maurice started to focus more on music again after the loss of a family member, channelling those strong emotions into his art.
"I started the real meat and potatoes on the album in the summer and ended up finishing 15 songs. So, this EP is a six-song prelude to the album that is going to be coming up," Maurice said.
Since its release earlier this year, Girls has responded well to audiences.
"I think the first reactions from the single and the video coming out and the songs have been really positive from peers and from friends and from the local scene," Maurice said.
Maurice played before Northcote, a Victoria-based post-hardcore folk punk band at the Dirty Jersey in Kamloops on Jan. 28.
"It just happened that I was able to jump on these shows with Northcote, who I'm a big fan of," Maurice said.
The EP deals with literal and subtle contrasts in life, while tackling a larger topic of the differences between people.
"The theme is talking about duality, the economy of contrast. Shapeshifter is talking about trying to be two different things. I think that's sort of the constant theme," Maurice said.
Shapeshifter has a silkiness in its production that ties the crescendo of the vocals to the steady beat of the song.
"I think Shapeshifter is my favourite. It's the first single and the last track. I wrote that one with my buddy Brandon Delyzer who grew up in Kamloops," Maurice said.
Maurice is planning to release a full album entitled Boys later this year.
"It's finished, it's all mixed and everything. So, it's all ready to go," Maurice said.

There has been an increase in the number of Japanese people who disagree with traditional gender roles which has resulted in diversified male roles. Based on a nine-male-roles model, this study examined the chronological changes and differences in male characters as per their ages and relationships with the heroine in NHK's morning drama serials known as "asadora," which is a Japanese TV drama. Results indicated that the roles of middle-aged men evolved from "high communion" in the '60s and '70s, to "high social status" in the '80s and '90s, to "commitment to household responsibility" in the '00s and '10s. Meanwhile, young men's roles evolved from "high agency" in the '90s to "attentiveness to women" in the '10s. Additionally, the heroines' husbands, ex-husbands, male friends, and romantic partners demonstrated "low effeminacy," "superiority to women," and "attentiveness to women." Conversely, the heroines' brothers, sons, and neighbors demonstrated "psychological and physical strength" and "emancipation from emotional restriction and toughness." Based on social changes in Japan, implications of this study and future prospects were discussed.
The purpose of this paper is to argue that it is a method of tourism support the local railway. The local railway in Japan, ensuring profitability is difficult. Still, the public railway is highly difficult to abolish. Maintenance of railway lines these, need the assistance of public funds. However, self-help efforts are also required. The effective methods is tourism. Economic effects of tourism by Sanriku Railway is one in which small but recognizable. Sanriku Railway, is an attempt to tourism resources of the railway company itself, the results have emerged over time. Efforts Sanriku railway is making a topic such as through Bussan planning and train. And I have been successful in attracting tourists.
