The Interview: Charles Carter, Waiter at Antoine's
While reporting our April 2013 special feature on New Orleans, we got to meet the people behind some of the city's most iconic restaurants–the waiters, bartenders, and line cooks who make it all happen. In this Q&A; series, they share their stories.
By Sophie Brickman
How long have you been at Antoine's?
**** This is my fifteenth year. I started as an apprentice waiter and was the second youngest person ever to be made waiter there, at 18. It's in my family. My great uncle, Chester Laviolette, he's retired now, but he was a waiter here for 52 years. And my dad, Val, was here for 29 years. We all worked together.
So did you scamper around there as a child?
**** Oh yes, when I was a little bitty kid, there were four of us boys, and between the lunch and dinner shift, after school, my dad would bring me and my brothers in. We'd always have a coffee cup with ice cream in it.
What's the training process to become a waiter?
**** There are about 30 waiters and 30 apprentice waiters. You learn the 5-star way. Our menu has over 100 items on it, and there are lots of different sauces, so a waiter has to know exactly how every sauce is made, what's in it, that kind of thing. And there are over 600 wines on the menu. Then you have to learn your customers. There's usually a five to ten year apprenticeship, where you work under a waiter until they see that you're fit to handle everything. I guess I might have took it in a little quicker.
Antoine's is famous for having waiters-by-request, so loyal customers have a designated waiter. Do you have lots of request customers?
**** I'd say about two or three a night, sometimes more than that. They call up, say "I'd like Charles as my waiter," and then they always have their set table, and I have their drinks waiting for them because I know what they like. A lot of them are generational customers: my great uncle's and my dad's customers? Now I'm taking care of their kids. I've served four generations of one family: the great grandpa, now the great grandkids. You get to watch them all grow up.
How have things changed at the restaurant since your itty-bitty days?
**** To tell you the truth, that's one of the things about Antoine's, and why people keep coming back: It hasn't changed. The only thing I've seen change is that you can't smoke cigarettes or cigars anymore. We used to carry four things in our jackets: a wine opener, a cigar cutter, a matchbook, and an ashtray. Now my jacket is lighter.
Any particularly notable customers?
**** The most famous person I waited on was President Bush, when he was in office. He had Pompano Pontchartrain. It was right after 9/11, and it was in the book but of course under another gentleman's name. I was 18 and had just made waiter. My uncle was supposed to wait on him, but he was off, and so was my dad, so it fell to me. Fifteen minutes before he came in, we had to move the table to another room because of security reasons, and then we ended up having to move the table again because of the windows or something.
Was it swarming with Secret Service?
**** Well, I wanted to do a Cafe Brulot [an alcoholic coffee drink made by flaming a brandy-drenched orange peel]. But the Secret Service wouldn't let you do anything strange, like set things on fire, so I shut off all the lights and closed the door and flamed the brandy in the middle of the table, so the Secret Service didn't know!
What did the president think?
He doesn't drink alcohol, of course! So he didn't have any.

The writing is on the wall. From top venture capital firms to industry leaders, the B2B SaaS space is universally accepting more customer-centric principles to proactively influence the lifetime value of the customer.
In Gallup's "Guide to Customer Centricity" for B2B leaders, the data suggests 71% of businesses were not engaged with their current vendors. Forrester's top trends for CRMs in 2016 declares, "companies must provide differentiated, effective experiences for broad customer segments … they need to go further, delivering the right customer experience to the right customer at the right time in his or her customer journey." This creates a billion dollar opportunity for the SaaS companies that are able to master customer-centric principles at scale.
Becoming customer-centric is difficult at an early-stage startup. Limited manpower and diverse business objectives are often a recipe for trouble, especially when it comes to leveraging customer insights in any kind of scalable fashion. You can often gather feedback from a few customers and create simple support structures, but that is hardly enough to create effective customer success programs.
The steps to becoming customer-centric will be very different company to company. The emphasis you place on customer success foundations such as onboarding, adoption, and product engagement will depend heavily on your specific product and business model. Even so, there are three key missteps to avoid in order to ensure you focus on delivering real value along the entire customer journey.
Are you a startup that wants to become customer-centric? Email me at kevin@totango.com to receive a HUGE discount to Customer Success Summit, the must-attend event for recurring revenue businesses.
As a business function, managing the customer journey is relatively new. When startups are ready to hire their first non-technical talent, it might not always be the first option over administrative support or growth-oriented sales. At Customer Success Summit 2015, Ari Klein, Head of Customer Success at DocSend, spoke about the need to make your first non-technical hire a customer success athletic generalist.
Essentially, Klein argues that your first non-technical hire should learn, listen, and "see the forest for the trees," fostering customer focus and building an organization around what your customers actually need. This attention to customer details, he argues, can pay significant dividends as learning and pivoting to align with customer needs creates the best chance a startup can grow and reach product market fit.
More people means more miscommunication. Ryan Engley, VP of Customer Experience, spoke to this experience at Customer Success Summit 2015, where he argued that playing telephone with customer insights inevitably ends with a product built for the wrong solution.
Startups have a unique opportunity to use their small company size to build customer communication pipelines the right way. Are you a CEO building your next product features? Speak to customers. A sales manager getting your strategy in place? Learn from existing customers. A designer creating the user experience for the front-end of your web app? Get customer feedback. No matter what you do for the company, getting real, direct engagement with the customer means no miscommunication. A founding team that is plugged into the customers' needs will scale an organization that always collects the right customer information to solve a problem.
Speaking of collecting customer information, what happens once you collect all these data points?
Gather feedback, engagement, and customer data to segment information against business objectives. Do not collect data you will not use. Companies like Totango help startups track customer activity the way a fitbit works for health. Leverage these tools to find out what makes customers successful and create business objectives to scale the success.
Any startup with robust segmentation using customer data will achieve significant ROI on the project. You can infuse learnings across the company, focus high-touch practices for the right businesses, and ultimately give the impression of being a much larger company.
If you're a small startup looking to build a customer centric business from the start, I highly recommend attending Customer Success Summit 2016. This must-attend event is great for startup founders to hear from over 80 customer success experts at companies like New Relic, Eventbrite, and Mixpanel. We have a great special for startups, so email me at kevin@totango.com to hear more.
Totango monitors customer behavior and usage in cloud applications—along with critical relationship data from CRM, billing, and other systems—to generate insights on customer health and engagement. The solution combines big data analytics with powerful segmentation and predictive tools to help companies take a data-driven approach to driving customer success and reducing churn.
If any one want to know more details about Totango, I can suggested him to visit this website.This is a helpful website I have ever seen.

View Full Version : USIP funding cut?
"I am very pleased my amendment to end federal funding for the US Institute of Peace was voted on and accepted by my colleagues in the House," Rep. Chip Cravaack (D-MN), one of the co-sponsors of the amendment, said. "If signed into law, this amendment will save the taxpayers $42 million this year. Washington has been spending beyond its means for years. We must look for places to make cuts so we are not piling mountains of debt on future generations."

Can I share my ring sling or mei tai with our caregiver or my spouse?
Absolutely. We encourage moms, dads, grandparents, and even siblings to babywear. Our ring slings and mei tais fit most and are great for sharing.
What is the weight limit for Two Feathers Babywearing Ring Slings?
The weight limit is 35 lbs., but we've tested our Two Feathers Babywearing Ring Slings for up to three times that amount for extra peace of mind.
What is the weight limit for Two Feathers Babywearing Mei Tai?
The weight limit is 45 lbs., but we've tested our Two Feathers Babywearing Mei Tais for up to three times that amount for extra peace of mind.
When can I start wearing my baby?
Start wearing your baby as soon as you feel comfortable - from birth to about three years old. If your baby has any health challenges or weighs less than 8 lbs you should discuss babywearing with your healthcare provider.
Can I nurse or bottle feed in a ring sling or mei tai?
Yes! Babywearing helps keep your nursling close and provides lots of skin-to-skin contact. When nursing, you can put your ring sling tail over your shoulder for more privacy. Be sure to check on your baby while breastfeeding and ALWAYS REPOSITION when baby is finished actively nursing or feeding.
Is the ring sling and mei tai safe?
Definitely. You will find that with flawless babywearing, your little one will enjoy the safety and security of being worn in a Two Feathers Babywearing carrier. With a secure high seat, snug fit, open airways, and adherence with your printed instructions manual, our carriers are very safe.
Are Two Feathers Babywearing Ring Slings and Mei Tais machine washable?
Yes. You will want to wash your sling unthreaded. For both our ring sling and our mei tai, wash on cold, and in a delicate cycle with like colors. Hang dry and iron if you desire. Plus, the more you wash and wear your Two Feathers Babywearing carriers, the softer they will become.
Do Two Feathers Babywearing Ring Slings come in different sizes?


Genre fiction is made healthier through cross-breeding. In The Blinds Adam Sternbergh has created a multi-layered hybrid of a novel strengthened by several different bloodlines.
In the first place we might think of it as a Western. Calvin Cooper is the sheriff of the town of Caesura, a place known locally (and less pretentiously) as The Blinds. It's a dusty desert town, or "glorified trailer park," set down in the middle of a West Texas nowhere, with the only link to the outside world being a weekly mail-and-supplies run and a clunky fax machine.
Sheriff Cooper doesn't have much to do in The Blinds seeing as there are only about fifty residents and he's the only one with a gun. Or at least he's supposed to be the only one with a gun. The Western turns into a mystery when residents of The Blinds start turning up dead.
What makes solving the mystery tricky is a science-fiction spin. You see, the residents of The Blinds have had their memories selectively wiped as part of an advanced "fresh start" program for criminals. The town is actually a kind of penal colony. So the question of "whodunit?" is complicated by the fact that nobody even knows who he or she really is.
This is just the set-up, but things get even weirder. In some ways The Blinds resembles M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, with layers of mystery enfolding the town and its history that are only gradually revealed. Also like Shyamalan's movie are the many rapid-fire and bizarre plot twists that come at the end.
On a deeper level, The Blinds is a novel that asks interesting questions about how our memories make us who we are. The nature vs. nurture argument over criminal responsibility is lying in the background here. Is someone who can no longer remember their past crimes still responsible for them, or even the same person who committed them? And to what extent do the subjects in this progressive experiment still have free will?
These philosophical questions are secondary, however, to the busy, action-filled plot. The Blinds is first and foremost a fun read, or really about half-a-dozen reads rolled together in one.
Review first published in the Toronto Star July 28, 2017.

Dell's new low-cost PCs for emerging markets
PC maker continues its international push with notebooks and desktops made for such countries as China and India.
Erica Ogg
August 27, 2008 10:14 AM PDT
As promised, Dell unveiled several new computers Wednesday made specifically for emerging PC markets like China and India.
There are four new models in all under the Vostro line--two laptops and two desktops. The notebooks will start at $475, and the desktops at $440, and will be available in more than 20 countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Europe.
New Vostro notebooks from Dell made for emerging markets. Dell
The notebooks are available in 14.1-inch and 15.6-inch sizes, and come with Intel Celeron or Core2Duo processors, and Ubuntu Linux or Windows Vista. The desktops come with Intel Atom, Celeron, or Pentium processors, and Ubuntu or Vista.
Dell says there will be more Vostro products for these markets released in the next few months.
This looks to be the beginning of the company's promised push into two of the fastest-growing PC markets in the world. After establishing a retail presence in both China and India in the last year, Michael Dell said in March that while growth in the U.S. market for PCs would be "OK," Asian markets would grow more.
Dell has traditionally derived the majority of its business here in the U.S., but for the first time ever its international business ticked above 50 percent of the company's total last quarter.
But looking abroad for a boost is a strategy that Dell's not alone in pursuing. Chief rival Hewlett-Packard has been doing a bang-up business for a while now in China, which is the home turf of another PC heavyweight, Lenovo.
We'll see Thursday how effective the retail push into Asia has been for Dell, when it's due to report its second-quarter earnings.

Q: JSF converter Validation Error: value is not valid for SelectOneMenu UIComponent I am using the managedBean userHome in requestScope, in which the entity 'user' is going to be persist.
The user has the leader column which is mapped in ManyToOne relation.My Code looks like this
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class UserHome {
    private User user = new User();
        // Getters and Setters

    private List<SelectItem> selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();

    public UserHome() {
        for(User user: availableLeaders) {
            selectItems.add(new SelectItem(user.getName(), user));
        }
    }

    public void persis();
}

User.java
public class User {
    @Id
    @Column
    private Integer id;

    @Column
    privat String name;

    @ManyToOne
    private User leader;
}

I am trying to get the value of this leader through h:selectOneMenu like this
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{userHome.user.leader}" converter="userConverter">
    <f:selectItems value="#{userHome.selectItems}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

My converter looks like this
@FacesConverter(forClass = User.class, value="userConverter")
public class UserConverter implements Converter {

    private  Map<String, User> userValues = new HashMap<String, User>();

    public UserConverter() {
        init();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component,
            String value) {
        return userValues.get(value);
    }

    @Override
    public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
        System.out.println("RAJASEKARAN "+value);
        return ((User)value).getName();
    }

    public void init() {
        UserHome userHome = new UserHome();
        for(User user:userHome.availableLeaders()) {
            userValues.put(user.getName(), user);
        }
    }
}

While try to save the user I am getting the error UserEdit:j_idt18: Validation Error: Value is not valid

A: You've constructed the SelectItem the wrong way. As per the class' documentation, the 1st argument should represent the item value (which is to be converted and submitted) and the 2nd argument should represent the item label (which is to be displayed in list). But you specified them the other way round.
Fix it accordingly:
selectItems.add(new SelectItem(user, user.getName()));

If that still doesn't fix the problem, then it means that the equals() method of User class is not (properly) implemented. JSF will use it to validate the selected User against any of the item values of the list after conversion.

Unrelated to the concrete problem, it may be useful to know that <f:selectItems> in JSF2 offers you the possibility to build the list without the need to build a list of SelectItem manually. Here's an example which achieves exactly the same:
<f:selectItems value="#{userHome.availableLeaders}" var="user"
    itemValue="#{user}" itemLabel="#{user.name}" />

This allows you to get rid of the additional selectItems property and the loop in the bean constructor.

A: Adding to BalusC's answer: after the postback, you need to make sure that the User instances are either exactly the same ones as you used for rendering the select items, or that you implement equals for your User class.
The code doesn't show where availableLeaders comes from, but if this is fetched from a DB on-demand, then the converter will not convert to the exact same object instance that's in the list that JSF resolves via #{userHome.selectItems}.
After the conversion, JSF will check whether the converted instance can be found in that list using the equals() method.

This video is for students who already know Musette but need some reinforcement and repetition.
I like the revised bowings but students still seem to be befuddled by the bowings in this song. Therefore—the video… I also scheduled Musette as a group class song for our next recital to see if I can get my students to get over the Musette hurdle!
Wonderful! I like to make up a story for this song. The name Musette pertains to bagpipe music. We think of the rolling green hills where bagpipes come from and the notes and the bowings roll nicely up and down with the shape of the music.

I have had a long standing interest in omega-3 fatty acids. Increasing the intake of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to beneficial health outcomes. Mammals cannot make omega-3 fatty acids, they must obtain them from their diet.
In fact, one of the first research projects I undertook when I started at UC Davis in 2002 was to produce genetically engineered mice (by adding an omega-3 desaturase gene) that could produce their own omega-3 fatty acids in their milk! Yes I have spent time milking mice – they have a lot of teats (10-12) compared to a cow (so this milking mice image is technically incorrect!).
So began my decade plus of focusing my research on breeding methods other than genetic engineering. However, I still think that if cows could produce their own omega-3 fatty acids that would be a good thing for public health, and perhaps if the public sector had been able to obtain research funding to bring some of these consumer benefit traits to market then public acceptance of transgenic products might be different today.
But back to omega-3s in milk. Because cows cannot produce their own omega-3 fatty acids they must obtain them from their diet. And because cows are ruminants, almost all of the feed they consume is first "digested" by the microbes in their rumen. And bacteria love to derive energy by converting polyunsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids (biohydrogenation).
Hence, ruminant products are relatively high in saturated fatty acids relative to single stomach animals who tend to more faithfully reflect the fatty acid composition of their diet. And one group that eat a lot of omega-3 fatty acids in their diet is oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, menhaden, and sardines.
Like cows, fish do not synthesize omega-3 fatty acids; they obtain them from the plankton in their diets. Fish are a particularly valuable source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (20:5 EPA and 22:6 DHA). Evidence supports a dietary recommendation of ≈ 0.5 g/d of EPA and DHA for cardiovascular disease risk reduction. As a result, the American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) per week.
So is milk an important dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids? Not really. Not to criticize milk – it is valuable source of protein, Vitamin D, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus and Calcium, and my kids drink a glass of pasteurized milk with every meal.
I am not a trained dietician, but as a Mom I do feed humans nutrients and therefore compare the nutritional content of foods. According to the USDA standard reference database, an eight fluid ounce cup (244 g) of 3.25% fat milk has 0.183 grams of omega-3s, most of it 18:3 (ALA). A half fillet serving (178 g) of salmon has 4.023 grams of omega-3s, most of it EPA and DHA. In other words I get more than 20 times the omega-3 fatty acids from a serving of salmon that I get from a glass of milk, and they are the long-chain varieties. And if the milk is non-fat or skim the amount goes down to 0.0049 grams of omega-3s, because – well they removed the fat!
The omega-3 composition of milk can be influenced by the cow's diet – if cows eat a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, then a small fraction of them "bypass" biohydrogenation by the rumen microbes, and so make it to the true stomach. So feeding cows lush omega-3 rich green grass, rather than the drought-stricken pastures that have been on offer here in California for the past 4 years, is associated with a slight increase in omega-3 fatty acids. The high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially ALA) in grasses at early stage of maturity is the main reason for the positive effects of pasture on the fatty acid composition of milk.
I should mention my husband (of 26 years as of today – Happy Anniversary!) is also a researcher at UC Davis, and he works in aquaculture. So we have had a surf and turf rivalry going on for more than a quarter century in our house. I think we only survived together so long because we recognize that different foods – four legs, two legs, no legs – all have their pros and cons! And little of each in moderation seems to be a recipe that my whole family can live with.


Recognizing the importance of public education and awareness in creating behavior change, AFF's Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative created the Regional Litter Prevention Campaign to target active litterers in the Potomac Watershed (example of poster to right). This public education and social marketing campaign is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the issue of litter, change attitudes and perceptions, and persuade people to stop littering.
After several years of social research to create messaging and images, the Regional Litter Prevention Campaign was piloted in 2011 with grassroots outreach strategies in the community of Deanwood, DC, and through a broader jurisdictional approach in Montgomery County, Fairfax County, Arlington County, Prince George's County, and the District of Columbia. Grassroots efforts have now expanded to eight different communities in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. To gauge the effectiveness of the Litter Campaign, AFF piloted a new evaluation technique in 2013 using direct observations of pedestrians.
The evaluation showed a positive correlation between posted Litter Campaign materials and a reduction in littering behaviors. There was a 45% reduction in the number of people littering after Litter Campaign materials were posted, declining from 1.32% to 0.75% of the pedestrians observed, excluding those littering tobacco products and pieces of food (figure 1).* Positive behavior also rose dramatically after the Litter Campaign was in place: the number of people who put their trash in a litter can rose from 0.48% to 2.12% of pedestrians observed, a 77% increase, excluding those who disposed of food scraps and tobacco products. These items were excluded to be consistent with the results reported above and because a cigarette receptacle was put in place at one of the locations.
The Litter Campaign affected a range of age groups, but had the largest impact on those within the 31-40 age range. Youth and young adults were both the least affected by the Campaign and the most likely to litter. AFF seeks to better target young adults, ages 14-30, in Prince George's County inner beltway between Forest Heights and Capitol Heights by revising the Regional Litter Prevention Campaign. One element that will change is the main photo used in the poster and other outreach material.
Posters ranging in size from 8×11" to 2×3' (or 3×2'), outdoor banners (typically 5×2'), pamphlets and flyers, web banners, social media, print media, and other miscellaneous visual media that may appear in transit systems, county trucks and cars, reusable bags, stickers, etc.
2. Large image sizes (resolution for crisp images that are roughly 3 by 4 feet) and a variety of layouts (vertical and horizontal options of the same concept).
3. All licensing costs paid for upfront. AFF plans on using these images for years to come and works with partners who restrict AFF from entering agreements with yearly licensing fees. For this reason AFF requires an agreement that pays for all rights to use the images outright. This means that AFF will own the image files once completed.
Children playing in an outdoor playground in Prince George's County in one of the target communities. AFF has already visited several playgrounds and has some suggestions for shooting locations.
A Photoshopped concept is pasted below.
5. Part 2. Marine Debris Connection: This part of the project is still under development and will be informed by research that is currently underway. These photos will target youth between the ages of 10 and 19, and ideally will connect litter with trash pollution in water and our oceans. A preliminary concept is pasted below.
The contractor will work with senior professional staff at the AFF to develop the image concept and will manage the project to stay within budget and schedule. The contractor will report to the Program Manager Trash Free Potomace Watershed Initiative. The contractor will manage the shoot, including all logistics from securing location and talent as needed. The contractor will deliver high resolution, large format color digital files. All creative content, files, and content become the property of the Alice Ferguson Foundation.
In addition to AFF project staff, the contractor may also interact with other stakeholders and collaborators including representatives of the community groups, funders, and reviewers.
The budget for this project is $5,000 – $6,000. Respondents to this request for proposals are encouraged to review the AFF web site. Proposals must be submitted by March 27, 2015, and the project is expected to be awarded at the beginning of April 2015. Work will start immediately.

Tasmania's Great New Museum
Courtesy MONA/Leigh Carmichael
Gambling millionaire and provocateur David Walsh's Museum of Old and New Art is as rough, beautiful, and unexpected as Tasmania itself.
By Mark Ellwood on May 06, 2011
From afar, the affair looks more like a Bond villain's bar mitzvah than an art museum opening. Private skiffs quietly shuttle guests upriver from Tasmania's Hobart harbor to what looks like a shiny bunker hacked into a waterfront clifftop a few miles away. At the base of the cliff, uniformed minions—wearing all black, naturally—move with hurried but exact precision, whisking guests off a custom-built jetty, up a long staircase and across a field of Astroturf to the museum's entrance. Zoom in closer: Never-ending platters of just-shucked local oysters from Bruny Island are being circulated, chased quickly with bottomless coupes of Champagne from ever-replenished platters. Spoonfuls of Russian caviar are sluiced down with ice-cold shots of imported vodka, while one table has been given over almost entirely to freshly shot deer, posed mournfully like tableaux vivants. The guests range from black-tie sophisticates to a couple in matching heels and fishnets. Only the man wears a skirt. All that's missing from the scene is a white cat and a plan for world domination. Then again, maybe the evening's host, David Walsh, has that on hand, too.
Walsh is a Tasmanian-born math savant who amassed his fortune by devising a formula to beat gambling odds. Though deeply ambivalent about the art world—he once called the curatorial process "mental masturbation"—Walsh has invested a large chunk of his personal wealth into building the collection housed in the museum for which this motley crew has assembled: a $75 million, 65,000-square-foot behemoth called the Museum of Old and New Art, which opened in January. Dressed in a leather jacket, his gray hair shaggy and shoulder-length, Walsh hardly fits the mold of art mogul or Bond villain. With his owlish glasses and scruff, he looks like a disaffected graduate student, the Trotsky of Down Under. His museum is equally iconoclastic. MONA, explains Walsh, "is like a rich man's soapbox—I'm standing on my soapbox and shouting my views like they mean something."
Perhaps unsurprisingly then, the inaugural collection is titled "Monanism," and the curatorial notes aren't stenciled discreetly on the wall but loaded onto an iPod under a tab flagged "Artwank." The iPod also serves as a gallery guide for the Facebook generation. Visitors to the museum, which is free and open to the public, vote on their favorite works.
Walsh's collection is as catholic and strange as its collector. Antiquities—coins, vases, Egyptian relics—and contemporary works are commingled seemingly willy-nilly rather than being ring-fenced by date or theme. Though his mummies are terrific, most people are drawn to Walsh's impressive contemporary collection. "There's a lot of controversial stuff," Walsh says cheerily. "Hopefully it will cause a backlash." In fact, controversy might be Walsh's curatorial shibboleth. His collection features chestnuts like Chris Ofili's infamous Holy Virgin Mary, complete with dung appliqués (when the piece was shown at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999, then-mayor Rudolph Giuliani said, "There's nothing in the First Amendment that supports horrible and disgusting projects"), and Stephen Shanabrook's On the Road to Heaven the Highway to Hell, a sculpture of a suicide bomber fashioned from Belgian dark chocolate.
MONA's showstopper, however, is Belgian artist Wim Delvoye's Cloaca. The room-sized, Rube Goldbergesque contraption, installed in a side chamber, exactly replicates human digestion. Visitors crowd the chamber to watch as the machine, "fed" every day by betoqued museum employees, dutifully defecates onto a stainless-steel dish each afternoon around 3 p.m. But lest one dismiss Walsh and his eccentric, scatological collection as the provocations of a sophomoric playboy, one might do well to remember that Cloaca was first exhibited in the United States at New York City's New Museum, Ofili won the Turner Prize and Shanabrook's sculptures have been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, as institutional a museum as MONA isn't.
%new_page%
Walsh's MONA also offers amenities one can't get at MoMA or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Despite what the children's book From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and a Ben Stiller franchise would have you believe.) At the MONA pavilions, whose sharp geometric angles contrast nicely with the lush vineyards on which they and the museum sit, you can spend the night at the museum. In the architecturally daring buildings, spacious rooms, some with mod black-and-white interiors splashed with scarlet, lead out to clifftop terraces with views of the Derwent River. On the walls and credenzas, Roman coins and other treasures from Walsh's 2,200-piece personal stash are on display.
Walsh's sardonic touch is felt in more than just the art. Take one of the rugs, on which is written "Apropos of nothing, it's nice to have you here. Thanks, we need the money." But one feature above all might pass for a guerrilla installation in the museum itself, and, indeed, it might well be. Walsh is an evangelical atheist, as Andrew Stack, the hospitality manager for the rooms, explains. "There are no Bibles in the rooms, but there's always a copy of [Richard Dawkins's] The God Delusion. We are planning on putting a Gideon Bible in there too," he adds puckishly, "but hollowed out, with sex toys inside it."
A night at the museum starts at $490; 655 Main Rd., Berriedale; 61-3/6277-9900; mona.net.au.
More Matter with Less Art
David Walsh's vision of Tasmania, a wild land with gems purposefully and proudly kept in the rough, extends well beyond MONA. At Saffire Freycinet, a beautiful yearling property tucked between the Freycinet and Hazards mountains on Tasmania's rugged east coast, 20 suites blend seamlessly into the 27-acre property. The lodge, made of Tasmanian timber and a thin Polymea membrane, takes the form of a manta ray coasting toward the white sand beaches of Great Oyster Bay.
The suites themselves are at once stark and luxurious. The dramatic views contrast with the simple lines of the modern interiors—in which a discerning eye can find pink hues of Hazards mountain granite, subtle blues that mimic the nearby waters and Eames furniture. It's a wild combination. The on-site restaurant, Palate, helmed by Hugh Whitehouse, draws no less from the ambient richness of the environment. Try the white miso custard with poached rock lobster. The spa, meanwhile, offers chakra-balancing sapphire rubs and antiaging diamond-dust facials. Suites start at $1,460; 61-3/6256-7888; saffire-freycinet.com.

Q: What's Australia's next wild region?
The Kimberley, in the Northwest, is a very unique place. It's one of the world's last great frontiers. There are few roads, few people and just incredible nature offerings. I remember trekking and rappelling through the very remote Cockburn Range. We walked through a spectacular gorge stem for days. To give you some idea, the Kimberley occupies an area the size of California. California is home to 36.9 million people; the Kimberley, only 38,000. For many Americans, as time-starved as they so often are, it is a bridge too far. For those who have the time, however, the investment yields immeasurable rewards.


In a common term, lysis means to destruct or break down the cells with enzymic or viral mechanisms. These cells can be bacteria or blood cells on which the action of lysine is performed. In the biological term, the lysate is something that has fluids filled with lysed cells. In labs, cell cultures are subjected to do the lysis to extract and purify its contents. This lysis process is mainly done for extraction of DNS, extraction of RNA and complete purification of the protein.
For a brief discussion on protein lysate, let's have a look at its isolation, purification and preparation methods.
In research laboratories, the process of isolation is carried at a temperature ranging from 2 to 8 °C.
The first method of isolation is western blotting experiment. In this experiment, cells are subjected to lysing for protein isolation from the samples. The cells are needed to break open to isolate the proteins.
Another method of isolation is sonication in which sound waves are utilized for disrupting the cells. This disruption of cells helps in protein isolation from broken cells.
One of the easiest methods of isolating the protein is the buffering method. This process is completely dependent on the kind of organism which is being used. This method is all about using buffers to break cells open.
Isolation of proteins is also performed through the method of liquid nitrogen grinding. Grinding the samples of protein in the liquid nitrogen helps in isolation of proteins. Elements used in this process mortar, pestle along with liquid nitrogen. The main reason for using liquid nitrogen is that it helps in making the cell structure easier to break.
Let's know more about this in a discreet way. The prominent points are being mentioned below.
One of the basic steps of protein purification is through crude extract. This crude extract is a combination of all the proteins, nutrients, macromolecules and many other components. Extracts of crude are prepared by removing the cellular debris which got produced by cell lysis. The product is then centrifuged to get purified protein.
Another method of purification is by precipitation. In this method, the sample is precipitated in a solution with osmotic strength. Ammonium sulfate is used as the salt in this process.
Purification is also performed in labs with reverse-phase chromatography (RPC) process. This helps in separating the proteins that are based on their hydrophobicities. This technique gets perfect results when used with organic solvents. And therefore it is used most often.
Preparation of protein lysate is done through the western blotting method in which the starting material is the crude cellular lysates. It can be prepared from the transfected cells that carry expression vector of protein. After the purification process, characterization of protein is also conducted. Characterization of the pure protein helps in reducing wastage of resources on protein material.
Protein lysate is all about breaking down the cell membranes through different mechanisms. This is a complete overview of the isolation, extraction, purification, and preparation of proteins.

In high school she started, but never finished, a succession of tales of girls who were just like her, only with long, naturally curly and often unusually colored hair, who, perhaps because of the hair, had much greater success with boys than she ever did. Along the way she read her hometown library's entire collection of Regency romance, fell in love with the works of Jane Austen, and discovered in Patrick O'Brian's and Bernard Cornwell's novels another side of the opening decades of the 19th century. When she started to write again as an adult, she knew exactly where she wanted to set her books. Her writing has come a long way from her youthful efforts, but she still gives her heroines great hair. Susanna grew up in rural Alabama. After high school she left home for the University of Pennsylvania and has been a city girl ever since. She worked in England for a year after college, using her days off to explore history from ancient stone circles to Jane Austen's Bath. Susanna lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and daughter. When not writing or reading, she goes to baseball games, sings alto in a local choir and watches cooking competition shows.

University of Northern Colorado retreats from embattled Bias Response Team

Kay Norton, president of the University of Northern Colorado, speaks from behind the podium during the State of the University address on Wednesday in the University Center.
An architectural rendering of Campus Commons, UNC's planned, $74.6 million building.
By Tyler Silvy | tsilvy@greeleytribune.com |
PUBLISHED: September 7, 2016 at 4:01 p.m. | UPDATED: May 13, 2020 at 6:34 a.m.
Officials at the University of Northern Colorado would very much like to leave its Bias Response Team – and all of the trouble it caused – behind them.
The team, which officials now call "a process" for dealing with student conflict, recently came under fire for actions free speech advocates say violated the First Amendment and professors' academic freedom.
In her State of the University address Wednesday, UNC President Kay Norton suggested the team – in its trouble-causing iteration – will no longer exist.
"We will no longer have a separate process for bias-related concerns," Norton said in her prepared remarks.
Those concerns will still be addressed, just not in the same way.
Going forward, UNC will consolidate the bias response effort into a single, already existing complaint process that looks at discrimination and other concerns.
In a phone interview after Norton's speech, UNC spokesman Nate Haas said bias-related complaints – UNC's website defines these as behavior targeting specific groups – will still have a home in the new process. How those complaints are handled remains to be seen, but those concerns will likely be handled by the same people who made up the so-called Bias Response Team.
Norton spent a good portion of her State of the University speech Wednesday on the Bias Response Team and UNC's commitment to learn from mistakes – mistakes like asking professors to refrain from discussing sensitive topics and hauling students into meetings to discuss offensive language.
"It is our duty to help students learn to navigate difficult situations, but we can't achieve that if we constantly intervene on their behalf," Norton said.
That line, and others echoed criticism from around the country and in UNC's own backyard, where State Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley, lambasted the university in a public letter and called for an end to the Bias Response Team.
Along with the letter, UNC received blowback from national coverage ranging from The Chronicle of Higher Education to the National Review and was singled out by Iowa State University as the reason officials there ditched plans to create their own Bias Response Team.
Norton has since announced a review of the bias response process and appointed Provost Robbyn Wacker and Interim Dean of Students Gardiner Tucker to lead that work.
In a phone interview late Wednesday, Cooke said he was pleased with the tone of Norton's speech, and he said he hopes the university – his alma mater – can move forward from the controversy.
The result of moving forward, Norton hopes, is a process that protects academic freedom and free speech, but also encourages an inclusive campus environment.
"Protecting free speech and academic freedom is not antithetical to creating a healthy university community," Norton said. "We can and must do both."
Questions remain, and Norton listed many. But the main one, perhaps, is, "How?" It was the lone question from the audience Norton fielded after her speech.
The answer? There might not be one. Her speech provided more insight.
"These questions don't have definitive answers," Norton said. "But the point of conversations like this is not to arrive at a plan or code or a definitive conclusion."
The difficulty, for UNC officials, is they have a mandate to investigate certain concerns on campus, including discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation, according to Federal Title IX guidelines.
The trick was how UNC would respond to complaints that didn't meet that legal threshold. Two years ago, when UNC overhauled its complaint procedures, the Bias Response Team was born.
"We were trying to address a very real issue by facilitating important conversations," Norton said.
But the process, at times, went too far, she said.
Norton said UNC is unequivocally committed to free speech.
"Our promise to students is the opportunity for transformative education – but we cannot fulfill this promise without the benefit of free speech and academic freedom."

Breakfast should not be skipped. Intake of healthy breakfast is also essential for healthy diet. Wholegrain cereals and fruits can be tasty and nutritious one. A good diet comprises of lots of fruits and vegetables, milk products (fat free or low in fat content), whole grains, fish, eggs, beans, lean meats. The intake of number of calories also plays an important role, for an average man it is about 2,500 per day and for women around 2,000 calories per day. Eating wide variety of foodstuffs helps in acquiring all essential nutrients.
Intake of saturated fat and sugar should be minimized in the diet because saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, and sugar is high in calories and cause wait gain and tooth ailments.
Eating less salt in the diet is necessary as it can increase blood pressure. It is suggested that an adult over the age of 11 years should intake about 6g of salt daily. Drink lots of water about 1.2 litres a day to remain hydrated. Eating of baked, roasted, lightly sautéed, broiled, steamed foods are highly suggested while eating out in restaurants.

Q: When is $A \setminus S$ a prime ideal? One of the definitions of a prime ideal $P$ of a commutative ring $A$ is

$P \subset A$ is prime if $A \setminus P$ is a multiplicative set.

My question is: what conditions do I have to impose on a set $\emptyset \neq S \subset A$ so that $A \setminus S$ was a prime ideal?
By definition above $A \setminus(A \setminus S) = S$ must be a multiplicative set. Of course $S \neq A$. What are other conditions?

A: Another necessary condition is that $S$ is saturated meaning that if $ab\in S$, both $a,b\in S$. Of course $0$ cannot be in $S$ either if you want the complement to be an ideal.
Unfortunately, saturated multiplicative sets still don't characterize complements of prime ideals: it turns out that they are exactly the complements of unions of prime ideals. So another ingredient is needed (and I'm not sure if there is a concise one.)
One obvious sufficient condition to add, of course, is to ask for $R\setminus S$ to be an additive subgroup of $R$. Then the multiplicative ideal requirements work out automatically and you have a prime ideal. In fact this translates to a fairly natural condition on $S$: $a+b\in S\implies a\in S$ or $b\in S$. The fact that $S$ is saturated already implies that $R\setminus S$ already contains additive inverses for its elements.
Actually, reviewing everything here again, it looks like we've found a complete set of conditions. $R\setminus S$ is a prime ideal of $R$ iff $S$ is a saturated, multiplicatively closed, "additively prime" set not containing $0$.

We spoke with the industry experts who shared useful tips for landlords and tenants on how to avoid being a bad neighbor when renting.
Below are the top 25 ways to avoid being a bad neighbor when renting to tenants and guests.
If you bought a property in a certain neighborhood you plan to rent out, it's essential that you get to know the people living within the neighborhood, even if you're not planning to stay there yourself. Introduce yourself and inform them you'll be renting the property to tenants. Leave your contact details to your neighbors so they'll know how to reach you in case they have concerns.
The first step to keep the neighbors happy when renting your property is to let the neighbors know you'll be renting. This way, they won't be surprised or feel threatened when they see strangers within the neighborhood, coming in and going out of your home. This is especially applicable if you're planning to utilize your house as a vacation rental property where guests only stay for a short-term period.
If your property is going to be rented by a new tenant, take some time to introduce them to the neighbors. This is a good way to make your tenants feel welcome in the community. It is also a way to pay courtesy to your neighbors and let them know that someone new will be part of the neighborhood.
Talk to your neighbors to find out what time they usually go to bed. Find the average bedtime for everyone and tell your tenants to maintain strict quiet hours during this time until the average waking time. If your neighbors are sensitive to noise, make sure that your tenants understand the "quiet hours" rule clearly and that they adhere to it strictly.
Keep the communication line between you and your neighbors open. This helps assure them that you are available to hear their concerns about your tenants if there is any. Try to talk to your neighbors from time to time and ask them if they have issues with your tenants. Proper communication will also help nip the problems in the bud before they get worse.
Take care of your property, make sure it always clean and well-maintained. The primary reason neighbors dislike rental units in their community is inadequate property maintenance. Replace the worn out fence. Require your tenants to dispose their garbage properly and forbid them to litter. Treat the property like the investment that it is.
One of the common complaints that most landlords receive from the neighbors is the issue about their tenants having home parties. Home parties can cause inconvenience to the neighbors due to loud noises, too many people and strangers inside the neighborhood and too many cars parked on the street. Make sure you have a "no party" clause in your lease to eliminate this kind of complaint.
Lawns and landscapes that are not maintained properly can sometimes irritate the neighbors. If your tenants are too busy to maintain the lawn, offer them an option of getting a lawn and landscaping service from you at least once a week at an additional cost. This way, you can serve your tenants and earn more, make your neighbors happy and keep your property looking great.
As a property owner, you have to know if the property is governed by codes, covenants and restrictions (CC&R). If so, you have to learn what is stated in the CC&R and relay it to your tenants. These are usually rules and regulations that cover noise ordinances, parking guidelines, pets, smoking, visitor rules and other issues that may concern the neighborhood.
Being friendly goes a long way. You can get on your neighbors' good side by simply saying hello to them and spending time to see how they do whenever you visit your rental property. You can also leave a note or small gifts to your good neighbors during special occasions. This ensures a positive community for you, your tenants and the neighbors.
If your rental property is a condominium unit or a multistory duplex, placing a carpet on the main walkways is a simple way to not disturb your neighbors who are located on the lower floors. Imagine if you have a tenant who wants to wear heels on hardwood floors. That creates a lot of noise on the lower unit and your neighbors won't be too happy. The carpet will help make the walking noise more discreet.
If you want to keep your neighbors happy when renting, you should screen your tenants properly. The most important aspect of a landlord finding a good tenant for their neighbors is finding someone who is courteous and lives a similar lifestyle to themselves and the community in general. You should conduct interviews with all potential tenants, and even analyze their social media profiles to check their lifestyles.
For more information on how to screen your tenants, read our articles on how to screen tenants as well as the best tenant screening services.
Define pet-friendly policies that are also neighbor-friendly. If your tenants want to have pets, make sure to set clear rules about it so as not to disturb and annoy the neighbors. The tenants should know how to keep the messes and noise from pets under control, and there should be a clear boundary as to where the pets are allowed to go within the neighborhood.
Before your tenants sign the lease, it's important that you set clear parking rules and ensure they understand them. Tell your tenants that they and their guests can only park in their carport, garage or parking spots and nowhere else. Make it clear to your tenants that they are not allowed to park in someone else's parking spot.
During the summer season, your tenants may want to do some grilling in your property's backyard. This is totally fine if grilling is feasible on your property. However, set clear grilling policies and etiquette so your tenants will stay considerate of the neighbors. The smoke from a charcoal grill is likely to blow directly into any nearby open windows, so your tenants need to be flexible and make the necessary adjustments when grilling.
If you're renting to families with kids or teenagers, then setting rules about keeping the front yard clear at certain hours of the day is essential. This includes removing bicycles, skateboards and other toys from the front yard at the end of the day.
If you're renting a vacation property, make sure to give your guests ample garbage bags and bins to prevent them from littering. Also, designate proper garbage area where they can leave their filled garbage bags without annoying the neighbors. As we cannot expect short-term tenants or vacation renters to know about the garbage disposal rules in your neighborhood, be sure to collect and dispose of their garbage promptly before it becomes bothersome to others.
For more information on how to properly buy and run a short-term rental property, check out our article on how to buy a vacation rental property.
As a landlord, it's best not to allow your tenants to sublease even one room of your property. Having another tenant that's not directly under you is difficult to manage, especially if the lessee won't follow the rules that you set for the property. This may also cause conflict with the neighbors.
For more information on how to stop your tenants from subleasing, check out our article on residential lease agreements by state, which includes a free template.
There are many benefits of a smoke-free property, which includes a lower risk of apartment fires, cheaper maintenance cost, eliminating bad odor, maintaining fresh air and creating a safer environment for your tenants and the neighbors. If your property is located in a family-friendly neighborhood where there are children playing around, then enforcing a no-smoking policy is a superb way to maintain a good relationship with the neighbors.
The issue about garbage removal can become a major problem area for landlords, tenants and neighbors. If you don't set the proper rules in place, your property is at risk of violating local ordinances and becoming unsanitary. It can also create a major concern among the neighbors. Make sure to let your tenants know understand the garbage rules, including garbage removal, recycling and composting.
Make sure to create policies about CCTV cameras. Make it clear to your tenants that they are not allowed to point their CCTVs at a portion of or all of your neighbor's property. According to BT.com, this could breach privacy laws and could be seen as harassment and violation of human rights.
Noise is one of the most obvious sources of conflict among neighbors. While landlords can recommend certain "quiet hours" during the day, it's also important to set rules about screaming and fighting. These should be avoided all throughout the day especially if you're renting a condominium unit that is close to other units. Screaming and fighting, no matter what time of the day it is, will surely disturb the neighbors.
According to Trulia, property line issues come into play all the time in neighborly disputes. Make sure to let your tenants know their "share" of the property so to avoid this kind of issue. Set clear boundaries and tell your tenants where they can and can't park, where their children can and can't play, where they can and can't entertain their guests, and so on.
If your tenant just can't follow the rules and opt to become aggressive and hostile whenever you talk to them about the issues with the neighbors, then perhaps you should terminate their lease and evict them from your property. If tenants can't respect you as the owner of the property, you cannot expect them to be nice to their neighbors.
For more information, check out our article on how to evict a tenant.
Although it is common etiquette to entertain your guests inside the house, there are some people who want to talk to their visitors in their front yard. This can annoy the neighbors because it can be deemed as loitering. Make sure to tell your tenants that their guests should be entertained inside their house and not any other place within the neighbors' sight and earshot.
As a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that the occupants of your property adhere to the rules and regulations of the local municipality and the neighborhood. Tenants who don't follow these rules often cause conflict with the neighbors. Use the above tips as a guide to ensure that your tenants will not become bad neighbors before you let them sign the lease.

Okamura said the WHO Walk The Talk was part of awareness creation on Non-Communicable Disease (NCDs) and to promote exercise.
According to her, NCDs include heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes.
"This is what we call walk the talk, which is being done every week to sensitise the population and communities to have a healthier life.

Renner Wants Mad Max
Friday the Modesto Bee published an interview with The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner. In the article Renner discusses the acclaim from his recent role and also what he has lined up for the future. Renner confirms heading to Boston to star opposite Ben Affleck in Affleck's latest directorial effort "The Town" but he also drops another bombshell that has caused some reason for speculation. Renner tells the Modesto Bee that his wants to play Mad Max! He said, "I'm also fighting to do the new Mad Max film with George Miller. That might be next summer. I'm screen-testing and meeting George Miller." To read the full story scroll down...
There has been some varying stories coming from the George Miller camp surrounding a new Mad Max. We know that the original plan was to make Mad Max 4 back in 2003, but the current Iraq conflict ended up stalling that. Since then Miller has made a few public statements concerning his popular franchise. First, back in 2007 Miller told the Herald Sun that Mel Gibson definately wont be returning for a sequel. So we assumed that Miller would be re-casting the title role or further developing the Max universe and adding some fresh new characters. Then back in March Miller told MTV news he was considering making the fourth Mad Max an animated feature. He said, "The anime is an opportunity for me to shift a little bit about what anime is doing because anime is ripe for an adjustment or sea change." This scoop left fans stuck with the knowledge that all we could expect from Mad Max was an animated feature. The story then shifted again in May when the Daily Telegraph reported that locations were being scouted for the fourth live-action film and that production could start by the end of this year.
Now we have the Modesto Bee scoop informing Mad Max fans that perhaps, George Miller is really doing a live-action fourth Mad Max after all. Jeremy Renner is clearing not fighting for a animated role and with him opening up about the role, we know that he has met with Miller and tested for the role. Jeremy Renner seems like an obvious choice. He has the grit, he has the charm and he can definately handle the action. Renner would also make a nice transition, who should keep a majority of the original fans at least showing up to theaters. A real easter-egg to fans would be to have Gibson appear in some form handing down the mantle, but that is extremely doubtful. Renner's comments also point to the film actually starting production next year, instead of late this year as the Telegraph report eluded. More news on a fourth Mad Max is sure to follow...
What say you? Does Jeremy Renner sound like a possible fit for Mad Max? Strikeback...

Extra Hari Raya joy for family

For Madam Rokiya Camaloudine, this year's Hari Raya Aidilfitri is extra special. While her family will be welcoming the end of Ramadan, she will also be celebrating something else: A new diploma in fashion technology (merchandising and marketing).
It will not only allow the 38-year-old to pursue her dream of working in the fashion industry, but also give her another way to give back to society.
"With the skills I have, I hope to help others who didn't have the same opportunities as me," said the mother of six who already volunteers at mosques and her children's schools.
"Mothers with young children often find it difficult to work, so I hope to teach them how to sew so that they can earn some money."
It was what Minister- in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim called for in his Hari Raya Aidilfitri message yesterday, when he urged Muslims to do their part in building a cohesive Singapore by helping those outside the community.
Madam Rokiya's diploma, which she will receive in November from the Singapore Workforce Development Agency, was funded by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's Empowerment Partnership Scheme.
"Every Hari Raya is a joyful occasion, but this one is extra special for the family because we can now stand on our own two feet," said Madam Rokiya, whose own resilience has seen the family through difficult times.
In 2010, the freelance administrator spent Hari Raya in hospital when she was hit by a stroke. Her husband, 37, now a government environmental health officer, stopped working to take care of her.
Later, Madam Rokiya found a course that interested her. "Some people didn't think I could do it. Sometimes, I felt the same. But all the effort has been worth it."

Hormel Profit Rises on Lower Pork, Beef Costs
Wednesday, 23 May 2012 09:05 AM EDT
Hormel Foods Corp. posted a higher-than-expected quarterly profit on Wednesday, boosted by Jennie-O turkey sales and lower pork and beef costs.
The lower pork and beef costs helped boost profits in the company's grocery business, which sells Spam canned meats.
But sales were still soft for Hormel's microwave products and Dinty Moore stew.
Several packaged food companies have said consumers were spending less on groceries, and Hormel's sales came in slightly below analysts' expectations. Earlier this week, Campbell Soup Co reported weak soup sales.
Hormel said earnings had risen to $127.9 million, or 48 cents per share, in the second quarter ended on April 29 from $109.6 million, or 40 cents per share, a year earlier.
Analysts on average had forecast 42 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net sales increased 2.7 percent to $2.01 billion. Analysts were expecting $2.05 billion.
Hormel, which expects strong results from its other segments to more than offset weak operating margins in its pork business, maintained its full-year earnings outlook of $1.79 to $1.89 per share. Analysts on average forecast $1.81.

Thousands of Surgical Errors Occur Every Year
Research from John Hopkins University found events that should never happen in surgery, "never events" occur at least 4,000 times a year. The findings, published in Surgery, revealed the prevalence of "never events" in hospitals through an analysis of national malpractice claims. The researchers studied over 80,000 "never events" that occurred between 1990 and 2010.
They estimated that at least 39 times a week a surgeon leaves a foreign object inside a patient such as towels or sponges. The research found that surgeons perform the wrong surgery or they operate on the wrong body party about 20 times a week. The study examined data from the National Practitioner Data Bank which calculates the total number of wrong-site, wrong-patient and wrong-procedure surgeries.
Over a 20 year period, the researchers found that:
Over 9,744 paid malpractice claims cost over $1.3 billion.
Of those, 6.6% died, while 32.9% sustained permanent injuries and 59.2% were temporarily injured.
Approximately 4,044 "never events" occur each year in the U.S. according to estimates by the research team who analyzed the rates of malpractice claims arising from adverse surgical events.
The researchers say that the actual number of surgical mistakes are likely even higher. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of surgeons who made a surgical mistake had been cited on more than one separate medical malpractice report in the past, and over 12.4% were named in more than one surgical never event.
Are you a victim of surgical malpractice?
Surgical malpractice can lead to infection, uncontrolled bleeding, multiple surgeries, wrong-site surgeries and also death. If you or someone you love was a victim of surgical malpractice, please contact The Sumner Law Group, LLC right away to discuss filing a claim for the compensation you deserve.

Technologies and equipment for integrated processing of grain raw material.
Currently our lab developes technologies of drastic processing of grain raw material (wheat, barley, oats). The main feature of these technologies is their applicability in in farming and small busines.
Common methods of drastic processing of cereals usually use only a part of the principal nutrients, water swelling (for example, gluten in wheat) and water insoluble ones. At the same time, the most valuable part of the product, water soluble component, currently is not used and often is considered as a waste product. At present, the enzyme catalysis technologis of transfer of water insoluble and water swelling compounds into a soluble form without the use of mineral acids and alkali are becoming very actual. Our lab developes such technologies.
The use of these technologies results in creation of products useful for development of concentrated protein and carbohydrate compositions (mixtures) composed of cerials (wheat, barley, oats), which could be the base of natural substitutes of milk products, baby food, mixtures for functional and sport nourishment.
The food concentrates of protein and carbohydrate parts of cerial flour have a balanced ratio of protein and carbohydrate parts and decreased calorie content due to decreased content of the carbohydrate part.
Approximate ratio of proteins and carbohydrates in the concentrates is 1:2 to 1:5 (depending on the type of raw materials). The concentates conserve water soluble component of nutrients.
