I've recently discovered that the French socialist system is best summed up by shared desserts. And I would have written about these findings sooner, but I was completely waylaid by a giant bowl of mousse au chocolat.
No, really. A chocolate dessert of epic proportions has an incredible way of sinking you into a happy stupor that makes it nearly impossible to get up at a decent hour the next day or really accomplish anything productive for at least a week. Especially when said dessert was preceded by a few glasses of wine and a hunky piece of steak sprinkled with fresh herbs and sea salt.
But now that I've shaken my gustatory coma, I can tell you the tale of the most heart staggering, tears-of-joy inducing dessert I've ever eaten at a restaurant. It was at a little place called Chez Janou, tucked back in the cobweb of streets behind the Place des Vosges.
Picture in your mind for a moment the cutest, most quintessential Parisian cafe: a cozy glow emanating from the windows, laughter drifting from the terrace, yellow walls and an old zinc bar. Now add a bunch of feisty hipster waitresses and a slightly raucous crowd sipping rosé. That's Chez Janou. And it's wonderful.
Except for the part where you're waiting for nearly an hour for your main course to arrive because the place is so damn bustling that the two waitresses on duty can barely catch their breath. Or the part where you wait another 45 minutes for someone to clear your plates and bring a dessert menu. And you've run out of wine.
Let's just say the charm was running thin by the time we actually had a chance to order dessert. But we stuck around, soaking up the atmosphere and agreeing that we should ask for the check as soon as possible, unless we wanted to witness the sunrise from our table.
And then I saw it: A comically huge, roughly hewn piece of pottery balanced on the hip of our tiny waitress. In the other hand she had two plates. I was confused. Didn't we order chocolate mousse? That refrigerated pudding usually relegated to fancy glassware?
Yes folks, I found a place that offers serve-your-self, all-you-can-eat chocolate mousse. Let me type that again, just in case you didn't understand: A big bowl of family-style chocolate heaven, entrusted to each diner who should be so brave to take on the challenge. Once you reach your fill (or someone else orders the same dessert) the waitress carries it off to the next lucky table.
Now some of you may be thinking, Gross! You're eating out of the same bowl as other diners! And we may not be able to be friends anymore, because you're totally missing the point. That's why you don't lick the serving spoon! And if we all promise not to eat too much and to not spit in the bowl, then we all get to profit from the wonders of the self-serve crock of chocolate! Very simple really, and a shining example of French socialism at its best.

Caedmon Audio
(Redirected from Caedmon Records)
This article is about a record label. For the Anglo-Saxon poet, see Cædmon.
Caedmon Audio and HarperCollins Audio are record label imprints of HarperCollins Publishers specialising in audiobooks and other literary content. Formerly Caedmon Records, its marketing tag-line was Caedmon: a Third Dimension for the Printed Page. The name changed when the label switched to CD-only production.

2 Selected discography
Caedmon historyEdit
Caedmon was a pioneer in the audiobook business, it was the first company to sell spoken word recordings to the public and has been called the "seed" of the audiobook industry.[1] Caedmon was formed in New York in 1952 by college graduates Barbara Holdridge and Marianne Roney.[2]
Their first release was a collection of poems by Dylan Thomas as read by the author. The B-side contained A Child's Christmas in Wales which was added as an afterthought - the story was obscure and Thomas himself couldn't remember its title when asked what to use to fill up the LP's B-side - but this recording went on to become one of his most loved works, and launched Caedmon into a successful company.[1] The original 1952 recording was a 2008 selection for the United States National Recording Registry, stating it is "credited with launching the audiobook industry in the United States".[3]
The company went on to record other notable writers reading their own works, such as W. H. Auden, Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and many more. The label expanded further to encompass other types of spoken word recordings, including children's stories, speeches, plus English- and foreign-language classics. Theater performances were also staged for the label, starring either the Shakespeare Recording Society or the Theatre Recording Society, depending on the playwright. These performances included many famous actors and actresses, including Anthony Quayle, Claire Bloom, Richard Burton, Albert Finney, John Gielgud, Siobhán McKenna, Michael Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, Felix Aylmer, Paul Scofield, Alec McCowen, Donald Pleasence, Ralph Richardson, Max Adrian and Maggie Smith among others. Other notable readers for the label included Vincent Price, Basil Rathbone, and Louis Jourdan.
Raytheon, who also owned D. C. Heath and Company, bought Caedmon in 1971. Harper & Row (now HarperCollins) purchased the label in 1987.[4]

Tips for Gay and Lesbian Travelers
Island Hopping in Anguilla
St. Maarten/St. Martin
Public ferries run between Marigot Bay, St. Martin, and Blowing Point, Anguilla (tel. 264/497-6070) every 30 minutes. The trip takes 20 to 25 minutes, making day trips a snap. Usually, the first ferry leaves St. Martin at 8am and the last at 7pm; from Blowing Point, the first ferry leaves at 7:30am and the last at 6:15pm. The one-way fare is $15 ($10 children 2-18) plus a $3 departure tax. A departure tax of $20 (children $10) is charged on your return trip to St. Martin; day-trippers and visiting yachts pay a $5 departure tax. No reservations are necessary. Ferries vary in size, and none takes passenger vehicles. Tip: Keep in mind that if you have a late-arriving flight, you may quite literally miss the (ferry) boat. You can either spend the night in St. Maarten/St. Martin or arrange a charter plane connection into Anguilla.
A convenient option is to take one of the privately run charter boats and ferries that shuttle passengers between Anguilla and the airport in St. Maarten. Anguilla-based charter boats will pick you up at the Princess Juliana airport in St. Maarten and transport you and your luggage to Blowing Point or a hotel on the south side of Anguilla. These boats are more expensive than the public ferries, but let you avoid having to travel from the airport to the ferry port in Marigot by taxi (a 10- to 15-min. trip) -- a smart option for travelers with a lot of luggage or a lot of kids. Plus, the privately run boats are smaller and have fewer passengers and can even arrange full-boat charters for groups or families. Keep in mind that these boats do not run as frequently as the government-run ferry, but most do include ground transportation. Good news: In 2010, an agreement between the St. Maarten/Anguilla governments is designed to greatly facilitate the ease of private boat transfers (and passing through immigration) from the airport -- which means that ideally you will be able to get off the plane and jump on a boat straight to Anguilla in under 30 minutes.
Check out the GB Express (tel. 264/235-6205 in Anguilla; 599/581-3568 on St. Maarten; www.anguillaferryandcharter; $55 one way, $90 round-trip); the MV Shauna VI (tel. 264/476-0975 or 264/772-2031 in Anguilla; 599/580-6275 on St. Maarten; myshauna6@hotmail.com; round-trip fare $60 adults, $40 children 2-12); or Funtime Charters (tel. 866/334-0047 or 264/497-6511; www.funtime-charters.com; $55 per person one-way; half-price for children 11 and under). Reservations are required.
Most Anguilla hotels will also arrange (for a fee) private boat charters between the airport in St. Maarten and the ferry dock at Blowing Point, Anguilla, with door-to-door ground transportation.
Tip: If you'd like to do some shopping and have lunch in Marigot before you take your ferry to Anguilla, simply store your bags at the ferry landing. The Port de Marigot has a small baggage storage area ($5, plus tip).
St. Barts
The Voyager vessels (tel. 590/87-10-68; www.voy12.com or www.voyager-st-barths.com) make frequent (usually twice daily, sometimes more) runs between St. Barts and either side of St. Maarten/St. Martin. The schedule varies according to the season (and the seas), but the MV Voyager II usually departs Marigot Harbor for St. Barts every morning and evening. MV Voyager I travels from Oyster Pond to Gustavia two to four times daily. Advance reservations are a good idea; fares run around 50€ to 58€ adults, 30€ children 2-12 one way (plus taxes). The trip can take around 45 minutes and can be rough; it's recommended that those with weak tummies take seasickness medication before the trip.
The technologically advanced, speedy, more luxurious and stable 65-foot aluminum mono-hull Great Bay Express (tel. 590/27-60-33; www.sbhferry.com) offers daily 20- to 40-minute crossings between St. Maarten's Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg and Gustavia. The boat can carry 130 passengers. Reservations are essential; the roundtrip fare is 56€ to 95€ adults, 40€ to 50€ children 2 to 11 years (plus taxes).

Rep. Song Young-gil of the Ruling Democratic Party of Korea criticized the US government for allocating part of the defense budget for US troops here to build the controversial US-Mexico border wall.
"South Korea's burden-sharing to maintain US troops here is not 'free money' the US can use as it wishes," Song said in a statement released Wednesday.
"North Korean soldiers did not invade (the South) through the Mexico border," he added, pointing out the purpose of cost sharing is intended to cover the expenses of US troops stationed here.
According to Fact Sheet on Section 2808 Funding Pool, out of the whopping $12.9 billion needed for the construction of the border wall, $70.5 million is to come from the Camp Tango Command and Control Facility in Gyeonggi Province as well as the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Hanger in the air base in North Jeolla Province.
"The share of the costs should not be used to build the US border wall irrelevant to defense on the Korea Peninsula," Song said, adding that he will keep close tabs on the 1.4 trillion won ($1.2 billion) cost-sharing budget that has not been executed and make sure it is not designated for the US border wall.

Knudson was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 4, 1927, to K.O. and Beatrice Knudson. She graduated from Las Vegas High School. She
met her future husband, William "Bill" Henry, while she was performing for the Las Vegas Little Theatre at the Last Frontier Hotel. Henry asked her to appear at the Pasadena Playhouse, where she was spotted by talent scouts.

Knudson signed with Paramount Studios in January 1950, which she chose over 20th Century Fox. Her early roles, including a small part in a party scene in a Rock Hudson film, led to a further contract with Universal-International. She married Bill Henry at a wedding ceremony on Waikiki in 1952. Prominent guests included Jack Lemmon and John Ford. The couple had one son, William "Bill" Henry Jr., in 1958. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1962.

She co-starred in the 1952 film, Meet Danny Wilson, and appeared in two episodes of The Lone Ranger in 1956.

Cook. Better.
This is not a cookbook. It's a book about cooking. Think of it as cooking between the lines. Or what your mother should have told you.
Yes, there are recipes, but this book is about the journey, not the destination, so taking centre stage are the hows and whys behind everyday ingredients and techniques – when to use coarse or finely ground salt, best pairings for common garden herbs, extracting and building flavour, champion chopping techniques, foolproof fillet, spud's lore, jackets and all …
Whereas lessons on technique are found mostly in hefty culinary bibles, this user-friendly book is for everyone who's anywhere along the cookery continuum. It is the 'ta-da' moment for those who have been cooking, duty bound, for years, but didn't show up for basics training.

It's hard to introduce Nikki Werner without also mentioning Brandon de Kock – her partner and co-author of Cook. Better. The couple has been cooking, eating and travelling together for 14 years. Through their work they've met a lot of chefs, eaten at a lot of restaurants, done a lot of research and made a lot of notes. In essence, they're aggregators of good and useful information. What it means is that while most cookbooks are about the author, this cookbook of theirs is really about the person doing the cooking. That said, Nikki studied journalism and has compiled the food pages for titles such as Elle Decoration and Marie Claire, in addition to stints as food editor for Fair Lady and Women's Health magazine. She currently works as a food researcher, writer and consultant.
Along with his partner and co-author Nikki Werner, Brandon had 14 years of shared culinary adventures to draw upon in the compiling of their cookbook Cook.Better.
Brandon's career includes marketing, public speaking, publishing and global travel – all held together by a pen and a camera. His freelance work has been widely published, he was editor of Compleat Golfer magazine and creative director for Ramsay Media.

Clean Maritime
The Centre for Decarbonisation and Offshore Renewable Energy
With around 80% of global trade by volume being carried by sea and 30-50% of CO2 being absorbed by the ocean, the requirement to conduct maritime activity in a clean and sustainable manner is clear.
Clean Maritime refers to the body of multi-disciplinary activities which address the issues of doing this, whether it be decarbonising vessel propulsion systems or investigating methods of antifouling with lower environmental impact. Very often the challenges presented by attempting to undertake maritime activities in a clean manner require the input from experts in a diverse range of fields working in an interdisciplinary manner, be they Engineers, Scientists, Lawyers or from the Arts and Humanities sector.
The Centre for Decarbonisation and Offshore Renewable Energy (C-DORE) provides a structure for this form of collaboration, by identifying the challenges and bringing together the expertise to work towards a solution.

Antonín Odehnal (15. dubna 1931 Skalice nad Svitavou – 20. dubna 2017 Brno) byl český malíř, grafik, tvůrce poštovních známek a pedagog.

Život
Narodil se 15. dubna 1931 ve Skalici nad Svitavou. Brzy se s rodinou přestěhoval do Brna, kde v letech 1949–1953 vystudoval Střední umělecko-průmyslovou školu (nyní Střední škola umění a designu a Vyšší odborná škola Brno), oddělení užité malby, kde pedagogicky působil Bohdan Lacina a později Jaroslav Lukeš.
Ke grafickým technikám Antonína Odehnala ve škole přivedl sklář a grafik Zdeněk Juna.
V letech 1953–1959 studoval na  Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze na oddělení grafiky u profesora Vladimíra Silovského.
Od roku 1963 vyučoval figurální kreslení na Střední umělecko-průmyslové škole v Brně (nyní Střední škola umění a designu a Vyšší odborná škola Brno) a v letech 1986–1996 zde vedl oddělení užité grafiky. Po  Sametové revoluci pomohl škole překlenout období hledání nového vedení a v roce 1990 působil jako ředitel školy.
V letech 1996–1998 vyučoval grafické techniky na  Fakultě výtvarných umění Vysokého učení technického v Brně.
Celý život se věnoval grafické tvorbě. Zemřel v Brně,  20. dubna 2017.

 1986–1996 Střední umělecko-průmyslová škola v Brně (nyní Střední škola umění a designu a Vyšší odborná škola Brno), oddělení propagační grafiky, vedoucí oddělení
 1996–1998 Fakulta výtvarných umění Vysokého učení technického v Brně

Dílo
Již během studia na  Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze se Antonín Odehnal začal věnovat tématu sportovců. Stěžejní práce vznikaly v 60. letech, ale Odehnal se k tomuto tématu pravidelně vracel. Vytvořil rozsáhlý soubor leptů a suchých jehel větších formátů s expresivně ztvárněnými figurami atletů, judistů a boxerů.  Zaměřoval se na vypjaté situace, zápasící figury, atlety vyrážející ze startovacích bloků. Pro zdůraznění dramatu zjednodušil a stylizoval figury až do podoby znaků – siluet podtržených dramatickou prací se světlem a kontrastními tóny (K. O. I., 1962; Judo I., 1963). V roce 1991 získal na pařížském Podzimním salonu cenu za cyklus sportovců.

Výrazná exprese a práce se světlem se je zřetelná i v druhé části umělcovy tvorby, motivech krajin. Zaměřoval se jak na surovost motivů mrtvých lesů Krušných hor (cyklus Krušné hory, 1979), tak na melancholickou atmosféru mizejících zaplavených lesů pod Pálavou (cyklus Vrby pod Pálavou, 1980). Využitím techniky rezerváže často kombinované s akvatintou docílil výrazných struktur a bohaté škály šedí a vytvářel tak poloabstraktní imprese krajin. V těchto grafických listech se umělec pohyboval na hranici mezi grafikou a malbou. Bohatá škála tónů vznikala už při leptání desky a další osobitý charakter grafiky vytvořil při vytírání barvy hraničícím s malbou přímo na tiskové desce před tiskem.

V komorní grafice, ex libris a novoročenkách uplatnil náročné grafické techniky mědirytu, dřevorytu, mezzotinty a čárového leptu. Od osmdesátých let se Odehnal pravidelně účastnil soutěží ex libris v mnoha městech Evropy (Cortona, Vilnius, Paříž, Janov, Oss a Meudon) a získal řadu ocenění.

Od 90. let se věnoval známkové tvorbě. Poslední známka byla vydána krátce po jeho úmrtí.

Patřil k umělcům ovládajícím mistrně většinu grafických technik a tyto zkušenosti předal mnoha generacím studentů.

Q&A with Jordan
Get yourself a cup of coffee—I take mine with Hazelnut Coffeemate—put your feet up and get comfortable.
The Spike Jones book was probably one of your most ambitious projects. What inspired you to write it?
I had started collecting Spike's records in my teens, scrounging for old 78s in neighborhood thrift stores long before eBay diluted the thrill of the hunt. In the '70s, I met three people who had worked with Jones—comedian Doodles Weaver, clarinetist Mickey Katz and writer Eddie Brandt. I decided to write an article but soon realized I had the makings of a book. But it wasn't until I got a hot tip about a treasure trove of long lost memorabilia that the timing was right—imagine having Spike's business correspondence just fall into your hands, revealing the inner workings of the organization he so skillfully concealed. I soon began to devote full time to tracking down and interviewing the survivors of the band, and drawing out their recollections of the man who assaulted popular and classical music with unparalleled artistry.
You got to know several of the character actors you interviewed for Reel Characters very well.
Yes, many of them became good friends who regularly invited me to their homes. Some, like Fritz Feld and Iris Adrian, were a lot like the colorful characters they played in films and TV, only more vivid in real life. Elisha Cook was nothing like the cowardly little victims he played in so many film noirs; he was fearless and outspoken. I cherish the memory of camping with him at his favorite getaway in the Sierras one weekend. Sam Jaffe could discuss any topic intelligibly but didn't like to talk about himself; Anita Garvin was pure delight to visit and never lost her wonderful comic timing.
You've called The Beckett Actor the biggest adventure of your career. How so?
I first read Waiting for Godot when I was 18; I had no way of knowing it would change my life. When I heard about an actor named Jack MacGowran doing a one-man Beckett show in New York, a program cobbled together from Beckett's stories, plays and novels, I was skeptical—how could anyone do that? I saw him do the show on stage in L.A. and ran backstage to meet him—I had to talk to him about Beckett's work. When he suddenly died a year later, I decided to write a book about him. I did more than 100 interviews, including Roman Polanski in L.A., John Lennon in New York and Peter O'Toole in London. For a young writer with few credentials, I had a lot of chutzpah and determination.

What prompted you to research and write Acting Solo?
Bettye Ackerman commissioned me to write a one-woman show for her about Edna St. Vincent Millay, the first woman—a Jazz Age feminist, no less—to win the Pulitzer for poetry. I began to think about all the solo performances I'd ever seen, including Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight! and Julie Harris's The Belle of Amherst; then I started researching people like Ruth Draper, who practically invented the form for the modern era and influenced Lily Tomlin and many others. Then I couldn't stop—nothing new for me.
You're also a playwright?
Yes, I derive great pleasure from using real-life characters or situations and taking dramatic license with them, which of course is out of the question in writing non-fiction. Writing for the stage exercises different muscles. If I have any facility for writing plays it's in creating dialogue. I love to invent two or three characters, or take them from the real world, and put them in a room and imagine the conversation. I once adapted a series of one-act plays from the stories of Robert Louis Stevenson. Along the way I discovered he was a failed playwright; for all his genius in plots and plotting I feel his dialogue left something to be desired.
How did The Laugh Crafters come about?
My friend Randy Skretvedt came up with the idea for a book on dramatic radio. We did well over 100 interviews with actors, writers, producers, announcers, sound effects men, etc. I found the comedy writers in general to be the best raconteurs and started interviewing every one I could; I ended up talking to a dozen of them. Between them they wrote for virtually every comedian who worked in radio and early television in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. The comics all claimed they wrote their own scripts, except Jack Benny—he always credited his writers. Jimmy Durante's writers got steamed at him once for implying to the press that he wrote his own stuff. They were working in a hotel and a cleaning lady came through; he introduced them to her and said, "These are the boys who write my material." When she left he said, "See, I give you credit."
King Vidor's The Crowd was what you'd call a passion project?
Yes. Sometimes you have to forget about the market and go where your heart is. The Crowd is my favorite silent film. I interviewed both director King Vidor and Eleanor Boardman (the star of the film, and his then wife) for an article in the 1970s but could never sell the idea. When I stumbled on the material a few years ago, I realized I could do it as a book. Kevin Brownlow, the best friend silent movies ever had, was tremendously helpful, sending me all his research from decades ago. I also found lots of great material at the University of Southern California, including every draft of the script, original scenarios, telegrams, etc. I'm sort of spoiled now.
What's your latest project?
A book on Roman Polanski, focusing on him as a filmmaker and his modus operandi. My intent is to transport the reader to the set of his offbeat classic, Cul-de-Sac—the film he has often called his best—during the making of the picture, so you're looking over his shoulder and watching him at work. I interviewed Polanski and others decades ago but decided not to do the book unless he cooperated; happily he agreed and sent the shooting script, his sketches of scenes and characters, and even the daily call sheets. I tracked down the assistant director (one of the last survivors of the crew), and did a terrific interview with him.
What's the secret to getting inside your subject?
For me it's interviewing people who were there at the time, whether it's people who went to high school with your subject, worked on films or stage productions with them or what have you. I've been incredibly lucky in one sense, but I've also worked like the devil to get people to talk to me. I had to call John Lennon's office day after day before he made himself available; George Marshall made me chase after him for weeks, calling him repeatedly, before he finally sat down with me to talk about directing Laurel and Hardy in the 1930s. My "secret" for getting a great interview is to make a good impression, establish a rapport and then shut up and let the subject do the talking. As long as they don't go off on a tangent, I just let them talk.

Subbed on for his LA Galaxy debut only six minutes before, and with his team trailing 3-2, Zlatan Ibrahimovic saw LAFC goalie Tyler Miller was out of his net. From close to midfield, Ibrahimovic caught the ball perfectly, firing it past Miller and into the net to tie the game. Ibrahimovic would go on to score again, giving the Galaxy an unforgettable 4-3 win in the first-ever matchup between the two Los Angeles clubs.
Two things stood out to me about Ibrahimovic's incredible introduction to Major League Soccer. First, it took him a matter of moments to change the game. Second, he wasn't afraid to try something ambitious and believed he could pull it off.
God calls us to have an instant impact too. The time to share the Gospel and love others is now! We should live our lives with a sense of urgency and immediacy.
When God calls us, we can't be afraid to say yes. Going outside our comfort zone is a good thing and helps develop our faith. Part of being a Christian is a willingness to take risks and live boldly for Christ. God can do amazing things through us, but we have to place our trust in Him and Him alone.
The next time an opportunity presents itself, don't hesitate to answer God's call!


Does your German Shepherd suffer from dog anxiety?
Canine anxiety can be triggered by many things. It is heartbreaking to watch your dog suffer. Like any responsible dog parent, your first thought may be to call the vet for an anti-anxiety prescription.
It is important to consult with your trusted vet, but please know that there are many natural solutions for anxiety in dogs. Before getting doggy prozac, see if your dog will respond to one of the following calming remedies.
I was initially skeptical over the ThunderShirt. Clothing for canine anxiety? How could this work? An employee at PetCo swore by it. It works by placing soothing pressure over your dog's central nervous system. Kind of like a consistent hug.
In fact, her dog runs for the dresser where she keeps his comforting shirt at the first hint of a thunderstorm. It worked wonders with Ryder, my storm stricken Belgian Malinois.
Pet Calm by Native Remedies is a blend of herbal and homeopathic ingredients, specifically chosen for their soothing abilities. Homeopathy is holistic, meaning that it treats your dog as a whole.
Instead of isolating and treating a particular ailment, it gets to the root of the problem. You may not know what is causing the anxiety, and unlike drugs, its aim is not to cover up symptoms, but to heal the triggering cause.
Bach flower remedies aim to balance emotions. Flower remedies? I know, I thought the same thing. The British physician, Dr. Bach, who invented these remedies found that unbalanced emotions would resulted in physical sickness in the body.
He turned to nature and found a safe, natural method of healing that works to gently restore a proper balance between the mind and body. When the mind is balanced, the body can then balance and heal itself.

Our girl made us even prouder parents today! Her report card came out and she's got As and Ps for the academics and Ds and Es for her behaviour.
If you're wondering what these As and Ps and Ds and Es are… these are the new grading system implemented by DEPED and carried by all schools. Technically, we are used to alphabets and shadings instead of numerical values as their grades. I do know that some schools have numerical values corresponding the alphabets but our girl's school doesn't apply that which makes it hard for us, really.
In their exams, when a student get a single mistake that's already a P. As are always perfect scores… so I think it's really hard to get the A. I was hoping they'd put at least a bracket for each letter like 0-1 mistake for A and 2-3 mistakes for P, and so on.
Anyway, I'm happy with Peaches' grade whatever they are but now that I've seen it… I'm over the moon!

'One Piece' fans are trying to get Steven Adams into All-Star Game
By Dane DelgadoJan 20, 2019, 6:00 PM EDT
There's been a lot of clever NBA All-Star marketing over the years. Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum did a "Napoleon Dynamite"-themed video for his buddy Damian Lillard this season. The Toronto Raptors made a faux-vintage action figure ad for Kawhi Leonard.
Now it appears that anime website Crunchyroll is trying to get "One Piece" fans to vote for Oklahoma City Thunder big man Steven Adams.
Adams is a fan of anime, and has professed his admiration for the show "One Piece" before. Adams made mention about how he was watching the show instead of Kevin Durant's debut with the Golden State Warriors a while back. In turn, Crunchyroll — a streaming site — made a video trying to get people to vote for Adams in the NBA fan vote.
Via Twitter:
Steven Adams is in the running for the NBA All-Star team!! 🏀 Vote for a fellow anime fan HERE: https://t.co/JEEW08uEA2 pic.twitter.com/TeWWFtSr0l
— Crunchyroll 💕 #AnimeAwards (@Crunchyroll) January 19, 2019
That's pretty good, but will it be enough? We know the fan vote gets wild, especially with favorites who are sort of undeserving (Derrick Rose and Luka Doncic come to mind). Could a big push from the anime crowd help Adams, who is an excellent player but who has never been an All-Star, notch his first bid?
Tags: CJ McCollum, Damian Lillard, Derrick Rose, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, Steven Adams

How Congress could reverse cuts in Trump's budget request for NSF
By Jeffrey Mervis Feb. 13, 2020 , 2:50 PM
On its face, the proposed 2021 budget unveiled this week for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) looks like a disaster: An overall reduction of 6.5%, including a 7.8% cut in its research programs.
But a closer look suggests outgoing NSF Director France Córdova has made it as easy as possible for Congress, the final arbiter of federal spending, to lessen the sting. She has crafted her last budget to appeal to both Democratic and Republican lawmakers—and left holes that those legislators will likely want to fill.
Córdova steps down next month at the end of her 6-year term, so she won't be around when the final decisions are made, probably after the November elections. But she's staking her agency's prospects on the bipartisan support NSF has traditionally enjoyed. Here's how.
Industries of the future
Despite a bottom line that is $537 million below its current level of $8.28 billion, NSF's proposed 2021 budget gives a big boost to two White House priorities—artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information science (QIS). Those increases, a near doubling over 2019, should appeal to lawmakers who have already shown that they see these two disciplines as key drivers of U.S. economic growth and national security. For example, a bill introduced last month by Senator Roger Wicker (R–MS), the chairman of the Senate commerce and science committee, calls for a 2-year doubling of research funding in these areas, dubbed "industries of the future." The Senate's top Democrat, Charles Schumer (NY), is thinking of proposing something that could be even more generous.
Wicker's plan, which has attracted Democratic co-sponsors, is not a spending bill. But it could influence the appropriators who write bills funding specific agencies. That's also the goal of Representative Frank Lucas (R–OK), the top Republican on the House science committee. His recently introduced bill would back a 10-year path to doubling the budgets of several agencies, including NSF, that support research fueling these industrial sectors.
For 2021, six of NSF's seven research directorates plan to invest a total of $868 million in AI compared with $465 million in 2019. For QIS, the request is for $226 million, up from $106 million. (The comparisons are with 2019 rather than 2020 because NSF's budget provides no breakdown of 2020 spending levels beyond the total for each of its five top-level accounts.) This year, NSF expects to fund the first six in a new network of AI research institutes at $20 million a pop over 5 years—and its 2021 request would allow it to set up several additional centers.
Not surprisingly, NSF's computer and information science and engineering directorate (CISE) is managing the biggest share. But its education, biology, and social sciences directorates are also taking part, for example, with an augmented learning institute that will be part of the new network.
NSF's big ideas
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives is likely to be suspicious of a narrow focus on AI and QIS. Its members have traditionally opposed attempts to skew NSF's expansive portfolio in a particular direction, arguing that research in one field often has a serendipitous impact on other, seemingly unrelated, fields.
But Córdova has also found enough money to maintain momentum for an initiative with broader appeal: NSF's 10 big ideas, her vision for where research is headed. The topics, which include Navigating the New Arctic, the Future of Work, and Windows on the Universe, would require sustained investments across a much wider array of disciplines.
In an administration that has tried to cut NSF's budget 4 straight years, the new label is another way to win support for additional funding. Along with the breadth of NSF's big ideas, congressional Democrats tend to like the prominent role many give to environmental researchers and those in the social and behavioral sciences, areas often viewed with skepticism by Republicans.
The phrase "big ideas" is actually an umbrella term covering several activities that, in toto, would receive $432 million in 2021, or $108 million more than in 2019. One of NSF's big ideas is not actually a research frontier but rather an attempt to speed up the payoff from all types of basic research. It's done by connecting scientists from many disciplines, a process NSF labels convergence research. NSF has also begun to test that approach in two areas by funding what it calls convergence accelerator (CA) projects.
NSF is now funding CA projects built on Harnessing the Data Revolution and the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier. The 2021 request contains $35 million for a third CA track. Córdova has also proposed spending $230 million on the six research "big ideas," up from $180 million in 2019.
That growth helps soften the blows to NSF's six traditional research directorates in the 2021 request. CISE racked up the only increase, at 8%. Mathematics and the physical sciences would drop by 3%, less than the agency-wide 8% decrease for research—but biology, geosciences, and the offices of international and polar research would suffer double-digit cuts.
To win back money from legislators, Córdova's 2021 request also employs the time-tested strategy of paring activities that Congress will almost certainly want to fund at a higher level. At the top of the list is the established program to stimulate competitive research (EPSCoR), which earmarks money for 27 states and territories to supplement the tiny amount of money they win through NSF's traditional process of competitive grants.
Its goal is to level the playing field, but 40 years in, most of those states continue to receive EPSCoR funding. Not surprisingly, EPSCoR is hugely popular among legislators from those states. So NSF's plan to shrink it by 17%, from $190 million this year is unlikely to prevail.
Nor is Congress likely to turn its back on a program that gives scientists the skills to turn their research into a company. Started in 2011 with a $1 million budget, Innovation-Corps (I-Corps) is arguably the most successful legacy of former NSF Director Subra Suresh. It has spawned more than 500 startup companies. The 2021 request would cut its current $38 million budget by 17%.
The 2021 budget proposal also puts NSF's flagship graduate fellowship research program (GRFP) under the knife, proposing a 20% drop from 2000 annual fellowships to 1600. Begun in 1952, the fellowship program is a pillar of NSF's investment in training the next generation of scientists, and several labor economists have argued that its success warrants growing it to 3000.
Córdova, however, has repeatedly proposed trimming GRFP since President Donald Trump took office, in some years down to 1500. In 2017 she said it was time to compare its impact with that of other mechanisms for supporting graduate students, notably traineeships and through research grants. And NSF's current program announcement says the agency plans to make 1600 awards in fiscal years 2020 and 2021.
The Senate has rejected previous attempts to trim the program, however. For example, the final 2020 spending bill approved a few months ago ordered NSF to stay at 2000 slots. An NSF spokesperson says the agency will comply with that language.
A race against space
Despite the Congress-pleasing budget that NSF has constructed, federal legislators may find it harder to restore the overall cuts than in years past, much less give NSF any increase.
That's because the appropriations process puts NSF in direct competition with NASA, which is one of the few science agencies that would grow significantly in Trump's 2021 budget request. The president requested a $3 billion boost to help NASA meet his goal of returning astronauts to the Moon by 2024, 4 years ahead of the current schedule.
NASA isn't the only challenge for NSF. Last summer, Congress and the White House agreed to keep domestic spending basically flat in 2021, at $634 billion, after it had grown by $32 billion in 2020 over the previous year. Trump ignored that agreement and requested only $590 billion in his latest budget.
Congressional Democrats have vowed to hold to the deal. But even the agreed-upon number for domestic programs will force legislators to play a zero-sum game.

On 2019-02-25, the FDA announced that Southern Specialties is conducting a recall on Green Beans And Butternut Squash due to possible contamination with listeria.	The recalled products were sold under the brand name(s) Marketside	during an unspecified time period throughout the regions shown in the map below.
In recent months, there have been 32 food recalls due to potential contamination, including dukkah, smoked silver salmon and more.	Additionally, there have been 45 food recalls due to other health hazards as well as 23 drug and medical device recalls.
Southern Specialties Inc. of Pompano Beach, Florida is voluntarily recalling select bags of Marketside brand green beans and butternut squash because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Laser Imaging Assesses Sunscreen Safety
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2011 — In an attempt to answer safety questions about the use of nanoparticles in sunscreen, a new laser imaging technique has been developed to assess the risks associated with one of sunscreen's ingredients — zinc oxide (ZnO).

ZnO nanoparticles have a high optical absorption in the UVA and UVB range, as well as transparency in the visible spectrum when mixed with lotions — making them ideal candidates for inclusion in sunscreens. The particles, however, have been shown to be toxic to certain types of cells within the body. By characterizing the optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles, scientists from Australia and Switzerland found a way to quantitatively assess how far the nanoparticles might be absorbed into the skin.

The team used a technique called nonlinear optical microscopy, which illuminates the sample with short pulses of laser light and measures a return signal. Initial results show that ZnO nanoparticles from a formulation that had been rubbed into skin patches for 5 minutes, incubated at body temperature for 8 hours, and then washed off did not penetrate beneath the stratum corneum, or topmost layer of the skin.
The researchers said the new optical characterization should be a useful tool for future noninvasive in vivo studies.
The work was published this month in the Optical Society's (OSA) Biomedical Optics Express.

They're quite different from each of them suitable for certain purposes. Ceramic is often preferred by most skaters due to their natural smoothness and lightweight. However, ceramic bearings are relatively more expensive compared to metal ones. Not to mention that these bearings aren't as durable for demanding skating activities as metal ones.
If you want sturdy and durable bearings that work almost as good as ceramic ones, then metal bearings are the way to go. Despite that they're less effective, these bearing will serve you well for a long period of time. Plus, they're also cheaper.
Most longboard bearings come with the standard ball size of 608, while others consist of various non-standard balls. The 608 balls usually feature an 8 mm bore with 7mm thickness and a diameter of 22mm.
If you're a beginner and don't know where to start first, we recommend choosing the standardized 608s. The reason is that they have good compatibility with many skateboards from different brands. Not to mention that they're also quite effective. Once you've got the hang of it and want to try out other bearings, you can start looking for non-standard ones.
In additions, the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee has also introduced the ABEC Rating which places different bearings into certain types depending on their functionality. The higher the ratings, the smoother the bearings. However, keep in mind that this is for mechanical bearings only and the result can be quite different when being used on skateboards.
To help your bearing perform better, you must reduce the friction to the minimum. For that reason, we use greases and mechanic oils on bearings to maximize their performance. It's essential to give your bearings frequent lubing, especially when you often practice a lot on your boards.
And when it comes to lubricating, the speed cream and the nano-ceramic grease are the most popular option as they provide excellent lubricating effects on the balls.
However, you can still use other types of lubricant. Just make sure that they aren't too thick to affect the rotation of your bearings.
Despite its important role, not many people know about these components. Spacers are the essential parts that fit between your bearings and the wheels. They're responsible for tightening the axels while providing smoother spins for the wheels.
The proper size of a spacer is one-half inch as it is the best size for most bearings. Use this as a standard to select your future longboard bearings.
To ensure that your bearings perform at their best conditions, frequent maintenances are required. Your bearings should receive cleaning and greasing every once in a while.
What we would recommend you is to clean the bearings every time after you go back from a skating session. Just use a clean cloth and wipe away the dirt and stains to prevent permanent damages on your bearings. After that, give them a few CR7 sprays to ensure they stay protected.
During rainy days, your bearings can easily get wet and dirty. It's important to get rid of the excess water to prevent rust. From my experiences, a hair blow dry will be really useful. Make sure you turn up the heat option and give your bearings a lot of heat. The strong wind and high temperature will be quite effective when forcing the water out.
Start disassembling the wheels from their axles by removing the protective metal nuts. Then use a flat screwdriver to pry the bearings out.
Wipe away the excess dirt on the wheels then soak bearings in citrus cleaner solution to break off the dirt. Use a soft brush to brush off all the stains on the surface of your bearings.
Then remove the rubber (sometimes metal) shields out of the bearings. You'll find the small balls that are responsible for enhancing the rotations. Give them some degreaser sprays to get rid of the old greases. And use a clean cloth to clean the inside of your bearings. You can also choose not to remove the rubber shield and just give your bearings a few drops of lubricant. Once you've done, put the shield back and clean the bearing with a dry cloth.
Push the bearings back in their wheels then mount the wheels back to their axles.
And that's all you need to know about longboard bearings. Thanks for reading and we'll see you in our future post.
