103. What is the effectiveness of motivational interviewing in changing risk behaviours (e.g. sex, drug use, medication adherence) for people living with HIV?
Interventions that make use of motivational interviewing can be effective in changing risk behaviours for people living with HIV (1-18); the longer the motivational interviewing intervention, the more it may help intervention participants to maintain healthier practices over time (19). For people living with HIV, motivational interviewing can have a positive effect on medication adherence (1;6-9;15;17;18), sexual risk behaviours (3-5;10;11), drug use (2;12;14), and numerous outcomes at the same time (13;16 (...) ambivalence they may feel and to encourage them to make healthy decisions for themselves that are aligned with their own values, beliefs and concerns. As a result, decisions are made by the individual for the individual rather than by an outside party. What We Found We found many studies reporting the efficacy of motivational interviewing interventions in changing behaviours among people living with HIV. Desired outcomes included better adherence (1;6-9;15;17;18), a decrease in sexual risk behaviours (3

Clearing the Smoke on Cannabis: Medical Use of Cannabis and Cannabinoids ? An Update Key Points • Healthcare practitioners need access to the best available scientific evidence to help patients make informed decisions about the medical use of cannabis and cannabinoids. There is a great need for well-designed prospective clinical trials in Canada that assess the efficacy of cannabis and cannabinoids in treating various conditions. • Evidence suggests that cannabis and cannabinoids are effective (...) cannabis improved their pain relief significantly. However, most of those patients had previously used cannabis non-medically, and it was not clear whether the improvement on adding cannabis to the opioid treatment was really due to better pain relief or to improved emotional outlook (Degenhardt et al., 2015). Adverse Effects Very little research has been conducted on the risks associated with the medical use of cannabis, making it challenging for physicians to discuss this concern with their patients

1) Karlsplatz
Karlsplatz, situated near the 14th century Karlstor gate, is the second largest square in Munich, after Marienplatz, and is popularly known as Stachus.
The square was laid upon the instructions from the Elector Karl Theodor in 1791. Reportedly, its popular nick "Stachus" derives from a pub, called Beim Stachus, owned by Mathias Eustachius Föderl, that used to be here before the square was built. Another theory suggests that its name is a corruption of the word "Stachel" which means the arrows of marksmen who practiced their skills in the area. As for the Karlstor, this Gothic-style gate was once part of a large fortification. The Rondell buildings on both sides of the gate were designed by renowned architect, Gabriel von Seidl.
The main pedestrian shopping area of Munich lies between Karlplatz and Marienplatz. Among other things adorning Stachus today is a modern fountain, built in the 1970s, with seats for shoppers and visitors to rest their feet in the summer. In the winter, the area surrounding the fountain becomes an ice skating rink. Kaufhof, the very first department store established after WWII, is found on the west side of the square. Underground there is another large shopping center and Stachus Square itself serves as the major hub for Munich's tramway system.

2) Burgersaal
The Bürgersaal or Citizen's Hall is a small, two-storey, Baroque-style building, located in Neuhauser Strasse towards the north of Marienplatz. Constructed between 1709 and 1710 to the design by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi, it started off as a meeting hall for a group, called the Marian Congregation of Men, affiliated to the Jesuit order. It has been used as a church since 1778.
Nowadays, people come here often to pay homage to the anti-Nazi Jesuit priest, Rupert Mayer, who was later canonized by Pope John Paul II. The shrine of Father Rupert Mayer located in the church is a well known place of pilgrimage. The building was severely damaged during the World War II bombardments with only a handful of the original frescoes survived.
The lower part of the church consists of a low-vaulted hall lined with statues, placed in alcoves, and a small chapel. The best part of the building is the upper floor which houses some beautiful religious artworks. The relief in the altar, Mariae Verkündigung, regarded as a Baroque masterpiece, is the work of sculptor Andreas Faistenberger. Another treasure found here is the sculpture of a guardian angel by Ignaz Günther. Thirteen oil landscape paintings by Franz Joachim Beich, depicting places of pilgrimage in Bavaria, adorn the walls of the upper floor of the Bürgersaal.

3) Richard Strauss Fountain
The Richard Strauss Fountain, located near St. Michael's Church on Neuhauser Strasse, is a memorial to Richard Strauss, a renowned composer and one of Munich's most celebrated sons.
It was created by Hans Wimmer in 1962. Richard Strauss was born in Munich in 1864. His father, Franz Strauss, was the main horn player at the court opera. The yonger Strauss is known for having revived the art of opera and for famous musical works, such as Death and Transfiguration, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks and Also Sprach Zarathustra. In particular, the fountain pays tribute to his most celebrated work, the opera 'Salome'.
The Richard Strauss fountain consists of a bowl placed on a six-meter high bronze column. Water falls from the bowl in different directions, according to the direction of the wind. The reliefs, carved around the pillar, are divided into six sections. Each section depicts scenes from Salome and unravels the plot of the story. The falling water looks like a wet veil portraying the final dance in the opera, called the Dance of the Seven Veils, which is widely considered Strauss's masterpiece. The fountain is frequented by music lovers from around the world who come to pay their tribute to the great composer.
4) St. Michael's Church
The St. Michael Church in Munich is the largest Renaissance-style religious building north of the Alps. It is managed by the Jesuit order and was built by the Duke of Bavaria, William IV, as a center for the Counter Reformation in response to Martin Luther's protestant reforms of Christendom.
The church was first built between the years 1583 and 1588 and was designed by an unknown architect. It had an extensive barrel vaulted roof and a tower. The latter collapsed and damaged the newly constructed choir in 1590. After the accident, a grand choir and transept were added to the original structure and the church was consecrated in 1597.
The St. Michael Church is a masterpiece of design. Its façade is divided by three cornices horizontally with figures portraying the agenda of the Counter Reformation. The figure of Archangel Michael, by sculptor Hubert Gerhard, is placed on the ground floor niche. The stone figures in the other niches are of Dukes and Kings of Bavaria. The interior has a nave without aisles that gives it a bright and airy appearance. There is a magnificent Triumphal Arch in front of the choir. The three-story high altar has another sculpture of St Michael fighting the devil, by Christoph Schwarz, as the altarpiece. The crypt holds the graves of members of the Wittelsbach Royal family who ruled Bavaria and those of the sculptor Giovanni da Bologna and Eugène de Beauharnais, the son of Napoleon's wife Josephine.

5) Museum of Hunting and Fishing
This museum, housed in a former Augustinian Church, showcases exhibits dedicated to the history of hunting and fishing in Europe. The 13th century Gothic building was once the Augustinian monastery Church of St. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, one of the oldest churches in Munich. After the monastery closure in 1803, it was converted to a toll office. The World War II bombings caused extensive damage to the building. Carefully restored after the war, it was reopened as the Museum of Hunting and Fishing in 1966.
Visitors to the place are welcomed at the entrance by a bronze boar sculpture, created by Martin Mayer in 1976, and a bronze catfish, sculpted by Claus Nageler in 1982. The proud owner of the world's largest taxidermy collection, the museum has over 500 stuffed animals including a 12,000-year old extinct Irish giant elk, a North American grizzly bear and a Wolpertinge, an extinct native Bavarian hare. Hunting weapons from the 15th century and fishing equipment from the Stone Age to the present are also on display. Other notable exhibits include the antler collection of Count Maxmilian Garf Von Arco-Zinneberg and a rare collection of fish hooks. The museum also has game stations for the enjoyment of young visitors.

6) Kaufingerstrasse/Neuhauserstrasse (must see)
Bordering Marienplatz on the west is one of the oldest streets in Munich, the Kaufingerstraße. Its name is also considered to be the oldest street name in the city, and was probably taken after the patrician Chunradius Choufringer who owned a stately house in the area which was historically mentioned for the first time in a document dated 28 May 1239.
Kaufingerstraße is part of the large west-east axis of Munich's Old Town. At some point, it transforms into Neuhauser Straße, thus forming one huge thoroughfare. The latter is the first and the largest pedestrian zone in the historic part of Munich, and was established in 1972. It also is the top-selling shopping street in entire Germany.
The Neuhauser Straße itself has been in existence since at least 1293 (first documentary mention) and, from 1815 to 1828, was known as Karlstraße, and then renamed Neuhausergasse. The street was rebuilt in 1972 from a main traffic connection with two tram-rails into a pedestrian zone; the reason for that was the 1972 Summer Olympic Games expected to bring a huge influx of additional traffic. The name "Neuhauser" derives from the former village and today's Neuhausen district, where the road leads out of town.
During the Second World War, the fabric of Kaufingerstraße was largely destroyed. During the 1990s and the following years, all the 1950s' and 1960s' constructions were replaced with postmodern architecture.
Today, the Kaufingerstraße/Neuhauser Straße is home to many shops and restaurants. Top international retailers, such as Zara, H&M, C&A, Mango, Karstadt, Kaufhof, Zero and others, have set up their presence here to keep company for the numerous streetside vendors who sell flowers, fruits, vegetables, roasted nuts, and souvenirs. Also adding to the area's appeal are the multiple outdoor cafes offering comfortable respite from a shopping spree with a chance to sit, drink or have a bite, or just to watch people or admire the surrounding architectural splendor.
If you're in the city center but want to shop away from the mainstream stores, consider Sendlinger Straße as a good alternative.

7) Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) (must see)
The Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) is the seat of the Archbishop of Munich and Freising. Its two towers are the landmarks of the city and command spectacular views over Munich and the neighboring Alps.
The church sits on the site of a former 12th-century Marian Chapel. In 1468, Prince Sigismund of Bavaria ordered that it be replaced with a larger temple, dedicated to the Holy Virgin. The simple, red brick Gothic structure was designed by Jörg von Halspach and Lukas Rottaler, and was completed and consecrated in 1494. Its two towers with onion domes were added in 1525. The building suffered great damage from the World War II bombings: the roof collapsed and the north tower was heavily destroyed. Carefully restored after the war, the Frauenkirche once again became a popular place of worship in the city.
The striking Gothic structure is simple and dignified with little ornamentation. The vaulting over the nave and chancel are supported by two simple octagonal pillars. Windows are masterly hidden behind columns, making it look as if the church has only one window above the chancel. Among the treasures that have survived WWII bombings are the painting, called The Protecting Cloak, by Jan Polack, and the cenotaph of the Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV, created by Hans Krumpper.
As this is the city's mother church, no photos are encouraged in consideration of those who come to pray here regularly.
In the nave of the church, there's the Devil's Footprint or Teufelstritt. If you step in it, you're likely to be engulfed in flames that will hollow your skull and cause your head to shrink, a la Herman Dietrich in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Visiting the church is kostenlos (free), but be prepared to pay a small fee if you want to take the lift up the south tower, instead of hoofing it.

8) Palais Porcia
Palais Porcia is a large mansion located near the Residenz Royal Palace in Munich, and is the city's oldest surviving Baroque-style building.
The mansion was built in 1693 as a family home for the wealthy Fugger Counts, among whom were many bankers and generals, originated from Augsburg, Bavaria. It was designed in Italian Baroque style by the Swiss architect, Enrico Zuccalli, and was the first structure in such style built in the city. The Palais Porcia was purchased in 1710 by the scion of yet another wealthy Bavarian family, the Count Torring. The Elector Charles Albert bought Palais Porcia in 1731 for his mistress, Countess Topor-Morawitzka. In 1736, he commissioned François de Cuvilles to redesign the interiors in Rococo style. The building gets its name from the husband of Countess Topor-Morawitzka, Prince Porcia. Jean Baptist Métivier integrated a concert hall in the palace in 1819. He was commissioned to do the task by 'Museum', a cultural organization that had, at that time, purchased the building.
From 1932, the Palais Porcia has housed the headquarters of a prominent Bavarian-based German bank, the Bayerische Vereinsbank. The building was severely damaged by the World War II bombings, but was carefully restored after the war, between 1950 and 1952.

9) Palais Holnstein
The Palais Holnstein is a large historic mansion commissioned by the Elector Charles Albert in 1733. It is regarded as the finest Rococo-style building in Munich.
The architect François de Cuvilliés, a Belgian-born Bavarian decorative designer, who popularized the Rococo style of building design in Bavaria, architected the mansion between 1733 and 1737. The Elector Charles Albert had it constructed as the residence for his mistress, Baroness Sophie Caroline of Ingleheim, and his illegitimate son through her, Count Franz Ludwig von Holnstein. He commissioned Johann Baptist Zimmermann, a well-known painter and master stucco plasterer, to decorate the interiors.
In 1821, the Palais Holnstein became the Archiepiscopal Palace, the Archbishops of Munich and Freising using it as their residence. The best known resident of the palace is Cardinal Joseph Aloysius Ratzinger who lived here after being appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising by Pope Paul VI between 1977 and 1982. Later, he served as Pope Benedict XVI, from 2005 until 2013. As a Pope, he stayed at the palace once again during his visit to Munich in September 2006. Visitors are not allowed to view the interiors because of the building's function as the Archbishop's residence, but the magnificent Rococo façade is available for all to see.

Knowing my love for both books and paper craft, Tuttle offered to send over a new origami kit to review. But, since Ultimate Origami For Beginners is geared towards those just getting into origami and/or kids, I decided to ask my 9-year-old niece who loves all thing arts & crafty to review it instead. Nothing like a little delegation, right?
The Ultimate Origami For Beginners kit by Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander includes a small book with 19 origami projects, instructional DVD and 62 pieces of origami paper in a variety of colours and sizes. There's even special paper that looks like real money!
The kit features an interesting collection of paper folding designs. Rather than just the typical origami models repackaged, the book has unique designs that they hadn't seen before.
The assortment of projects and papers is both colourful and gender neutral which is always a nice combo. How cute are those dogs?!
The projects are geared towards beginners but not necessarily children. The kit actually includes a wide range of difficulty.
Alice was most excited to try the projects which used the special money paper. However, those origami models were too challenging and her mum ended up having to make them with help from the video instructions.
When the book instructions were difficult to follow, they watched the videos on the included DVD. The videos are excellent and really helpful if you find the instructions confusing (anyone who has tried origami can understand the frustration that is trying to decipher origami diagrams!) However, as CD drives on computers are pretty rare these days and most people won't want to fuss with a getting their DVD player set up to watch origami instructions, a Youtube channel or other source of online videos would be a fantastic alternative to the DVD.
And I think they did a great job of folding and reviewing this kit! Thank you!

This looks like a great little kit, I would have loved to get it at your niece's age and even at my current age! Although the paper money fold was tricky, that would be an especially handy design to master. Imagine tucking a couple of cash butterflies into a birthday card envelope, for example.
So true - cash butterflies would be so much sweeter than a boring gift card!


NEW WEBSITE TO COME IN FALL 2018!
Twin sisters Janet and Judy (Robinson) were enormously popular children's entertainers and recording artists who performed for well over a million kids in their 20 years of entertaining. Their shows had an educational or moral theme that was executed through catchy original songs and side-splitting sibling comedy.
Janet and Judy performed over 8,000 shows between 1976 - 1996! While most of their performances were in Southern California, Janet and Judy became well-known nationally due to their popular children's radio hits. Their extensive touring schedule included schools, theaters, festivals, amusement parks, malls, libraries - anywhere that children and families congregated to learn and have fun and hear great music.
Though they have retired from being children's entertainers and being "on the road," Janet & Judy are still very active in performing and recording music (see Current News).
Many of Janet and Judy's former "fans" are now parents themselves, and have sought out the twins' vintage recordings to play for their own children. The products are now all available at CDbaby.com and can be downloaded from accounts on iTunes.
Thank you for visiting the Janet and Judy website - and please don't draw any mustaches on the pictures!
After a 13 year hiatus from recording, Janet & Judy returned in 2008 with a CD of all new material in their familiar, fun and catchy style.
"Little Ditties" contains 27 upbeat songs for "little kiddies" ages 3-7. Almost every song offers a fun participation activity for the listener - perfect for those many car rides with the little ones.
If you have fond childhood memories of Janet & Judy's music, then you will surely want to add this CD to your child's playlist!

Fashion Mogul Peter Nygard Indicted on Sex Trafficking Charges

Mary F.. Sputnik International
https://sputniknews.com/society/202012151081472435-fashion-mogul-peter-nygard-indicted-on-sex-trafficking-charges/
Peter Nygard is a Finnish-Canadian former fashion executive who founded Nygard International, a company that makes women's clothing, in 1967. In 2014, his net worth was estimated by Canadian Business Magazine to be about $850 million.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Tuesday indicted fashion mogul Peter Nygard on nine counts, including racketeering and sex-trafficking, that allegedly involved dozens of women, some of who were underage. He was arrested in the Canadian city of Winnipeg at the request of the US under the terms of the extradition treaty between the countries, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed.
Nygard, 79, was accused of a "decades-long pattern of criminal conduct" in the United States, the Bahamas and Canada, according to a release by the United States Department of Justice (DoJ).
Nygard is accused of using the influence of the Nygard Group, an association of corporate entities of which he is the head, "as well as its employees, funds and other resources" to coerce adult and minor-aged female victims into having sex with him. Nygard is also accused of recruiting female victims for the "sexual gratification of his friends and business associates."
"Nygard frequently targeted women and minor-aged girls who came from disadvantaged economic backgrounds and/or who had a history of abuse. He controlled his victims through threats, false promises of modeling opportunities and other career advancement, financial support and by other coercive means, including constant surveillance, restrictions of movement, and physical isolation. Nygard forcibly sexually assaulted some of his victims," the release states.
"Other victims were forcibly assaulted by Nygard's associates or drugged to ensure their compliance with his sexual demands," the release adds, also saying that Nygard provided illegal drugs and alcohol to the victims before sexual activity and "threatened and berated" women who did not agree to participate.
In February, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and New York Police raided Nygard's New York offices after sex-trafficking allegations were made against him. At the time, the New York Times reported that the investigation against Nygard had been underway for at least five months after authorities interviewed at least four women who said that Nygard raped them in the Bahamas when they were teenagers.
The four women were also plaintiffs in a February lawsuit filed against Nygard in New York, which accuses him of sex trafficking and other misconduct.
In February, after his offices were raided, a spokesperson for Nygard announced that the fashion mogul would step down as chairman and divest ownership of Nygard International, "recognizing the priority of the welfare of the thousands of Nygard employees, retail partners, loyal customers, vendors, suppliers and business partners."
Following the allegations made against him in February, many retailers, including Dillard's, announced that they would no longer be carrying Nygard's fashion line.

We mint Engravers always studied our subjects before making the first sketch for new coinage, so we all six got a good refresher course in American History - and as for me personally, I got daily reminders of Philly's significance, as I passed the Betsy Ross house both mornings and afternoons, going to and from work. From the break-room at the mint we could plainly see the cupola atop Independence Hall - and Ben Franklin's grave lay directly across Arch Street - about 100 feet from that same window. My apartment building was at the corner of Arch and Front streets - the latter leading straight south past the former site of the Philadelphia Slave Market, to the site of Tun Tavern, where the U.S. Marine Corps was founded in November of 1775. Unchanged 18th Century Elfreth's Alley was one block from my building's front door - famous for being lined with Colonial "Trinity" houses of three stories: representing Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
But I did not grow up in Philly! I am a product of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and my closest ties to Philadelphia were previously our wonderful next-door neighbors of the early 1940's, Jack and Grace Metague. They lived next door during the early War Years. Although not old by any means, they were childless - though deperately wanting children. Possibly to compensate for their inability to have children of their own, they had come to Chattanooga with two young men they knew from Philadelphia. Mr. Metague was a salesman of printer's ink, and had numerous customers in Chattanooga. They immediately fell in love with our city and bought a motor boat to use on the then-new Chickamauga Lake. They named it the "Ducky Mate" - a name which has always intrigued me, and which I can never forget. The two young men - neither of them related to the other - or to Metagues - were also very friendly with me, a 7 or 8 year old. I remember the older one performing magic tricks for me, and I think they called him Stanley. The other boy was Jimmy Knecht (pronounced "Connect"). WWII was breaking out about that time and both of them went away - forever. Metagues never heard from either one again. Stanley may have joined the Navy, but Jimmy was drafted into the Army. I was devastated at their departure - just as I was when Metagues announced that they were returning to their roots, and fine house, in Philly. Once back home, they continued to write and send me stuff - like a small parchment copy of the U.S. Constitution - still a popular gift there. My mother and I got to see Jack and Grace once, years later - about 1953, and I talked with them by phone from my apartment in Philadelphia about 1986. No finer neighbors ever existed, and their memories of Chattanooga and the old neighborhood here were accurate and clear over 40 years later.
Yes, I grew up in Chattanooga, the son of a postman father and a former office-manager mother. Mom never worked a day during my entire life, as she had had to give up a good job during the Great Depression, when men were still seen as the Head of the Family. Preferential employment privileges were granted to men as being "bread-winners".
But dad had been a farm-boy, and an alumnus of the new Berry School at Rome, GA. For nearly 30 years he lived on a farm just off Broomtown Road, having been born on what is now called "York Road" in Chattooga County, Georgia. His early life had been molded by this rural background and he enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities, both summer and winter. One thing he always looked forward to was picking blackberries on the Fourth of July - and that is the thing I remember most about MY first Independence Day events. Dad knew all the best places to find them - and it turned out that Chickamauga Park was his most favorite place of all. In those days there was nothing but woodland and undergrowth from the park boundary going toward Ringgold. No one could predict whether other people would beat us to the berries, and sometimes we had competition. If too many others were working the same area we would simply get in the car and drive farther out to another spot in the wilderness outside the park. This was a thing that all three of us - my mom, dad, and me - enjoyed doing together. My mother would have already planned to spend the entire next week canning berries. Those days would be good days to avoid the kitchen due to its steamy, savory odor of cooking berries. That odor would be shared for blocks around, as windows stayed open all summer back then.
For years I could remember where I had been on every Fourth of July in my life. As I got older, my adventures became more diverse and my older memories began to fade. I used to travel by Greyhound buses a lot, and I DO remember being on a Greyhound bus one Fourth, somewhere in the Bayou country, between the Texas-Louisiana border and New Orleans - and on a back-road. A group of Cajun men got on the bus somewhere far out in the country, laughing and talking in their native sing-song and slightly nasal French. I was attracted to their speech, so was watching them - and noticed that behind them came a small, stocky black man - not one of their party - with a proud expression on his face that literally radiated "America"! All the pride you could ever have wanted to express was written on his face. He was wearing an olive-drab Army jacket that bore a line or two of colorful military medals, possibly indicating a number of military battles or achievements - and possibly from the First World War. (His civilian pants were clear indication he was definitely no longer "military". He was obviously headed for some event important to him - a picnic or a barbecue - which he considered "worthy". Maybe a day of speeches - like in the old days of the country - but certainly with fireworks after dark. Am not sure of the medals' significance, but the gentleman's facial expression said it all. I have thought about him many times through the years.
Then there was the Independence Day we celebrated here at home with our young house guest from Spain - Luisa (or Sisi). Sisi is the daughter of an imminent Spanish sculptor. When we first met her it was at her parents' home in Madrid; she was only about 12 or 13. Now, at the ripe old age of 15, her parents had called us to see if a visit to our house might be arranged. Everything worked out beautifully and she came for a 3-week stay - her very first trip outside of Spain, and definitely her first intro to America and the U.S. My wife, Pat, and I felt very honored to have her as a guest - and introduce her to her very first Fourth of July celebration before heading back to Spain on the 5th. We celebrated with the traditional grilled hamburgers and fireworks (somewhere north of the city). Sisi LOVED America - and Chattanooga! She later studied Architecture back home in Madrid, and is now employed in a high position in one of Spain's new "green" industries. She is called upon to represent her company and her country throughout Europe - and the U.S. She has brought her new husband to see us TWICE, and now has two little ones: a son, Enrique, and a younger daughter, whom we hope might also one day pay us a visit! To be honest, I believe the proud parents are already eying one of our local private schools for Enrique to attend one day! Oh, yes, Sisi's dad, Eduardo, has a monumental equestrian statue of Spanish King Charles III, which is placed in Madrid's "Puerta del Sol" - equivalent to New York's Times Square. Wikipedia has a picture of it @ "Puerta del Sol" - and WE have an actual bronze miniature of it!
BUT - back to Philadelphia where our Glorious Fourth holiday originated. As you might imagine, the National Park Service and the City of Philadelphia are able to combine their efforts to put on a truly great Patriotic celebration. Hobart (Hobie) Cawood, then-Director of Independence Mall National Park (and former Director of Chick-Chatt, here), saw to producing impeccably fine events in his park. Several times I walked the 15 minute walk from my building up to Independence Hall just to witness several of these. There they have an annual celebration to applaud and honor some LIVING worthy personality of great distinction who has served the Cause of Freedom. One year it was former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and another year it was a much admired Costa Rican (former) president who had stood up for Democracy in his country. Yet another honoree was Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and Civil Rights Leader, Thurgood Marshall. They and all such honorees were presented a gold medal from the City of Philadelphia which was designed by my personal friend, Eugene Daub, a Philadelphia native. (Although long a Californian, Gene also sculptured the recent statue of Rosa Parks for Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol Building at Washington). Following the medal presentations and acceptance speeches, the public is then invited over to a large park, just southeast of Independence Hall to sample the blocks-long National Birthday Cake! For this cake, civic organizations from all across the Delaware Valley are asked to donate a segment of cake, conforming to specific dimensions, but decorated to suit the donor. All the donations are then assemembled on one long table that doubles back several times under a tent - open at the sides - and a line forms. Forget your diabetes, folks, and go back to that tent as often as you wish! There is always plenty of cake to go around - plus free punch, as well. I remember a party of three black ladies all tastefully dressed for the occasion in red, white, and blue attire. (I have their picture somewhere, and regret that I do not have it available now). They helped make that happy occasion even more festive! There were several Ben Franklin look-alikes in Philly at that time - and one especially who needed absolutely no make-up to look exactly like the "real" Ben himself! These actors were in great demand and they would pop up in some unpredictable places - including this National Birthday Cake event.
By telling so much about Philly, I am in no way knocking my own city's enthusiasm for the Fourth. I remember how - back in the 1960's one of my bosses lived on Signal Mountain, and he had just been masterminding an "authentic, old-time Fourth of July celebration" for the entire town of Signal Mountain. I think it was successful.They were offering a good variety of old-fashioned games, such as potato-sack racing, marbles, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, etc. And then there is always Lake Winnie to save our day. If certain planned events fall through, Lake Winnepesaukah can usually save the day with its famous barbecue pits, pavilions, rides, etc. (Am thinking that those may be gone, now. Am not sure). Anyway, their fireworks are probably the most spectacular in our area - and their entertainments the very best. At least, when my dad was newly retired, he took my mom to a Fourth of July celebration there. The Carter Family had top billing, and my mom raved for years about getting to talk with June Carter all that afternoon (between shows), long before June became Mrs. Johnny Cash.
And so, folks, if you have been able to follow this story through all its many twists and turns you are much to be commended; I will add you to my list of Favorite People. Be aware that the ENTIRE WORLD is aware of our glorious Independence Day celebration, are very jealous of it, and ENVY the graceful ease with which we transition from one Administration to the another. That does not happen everywhere, as you may know, and our Glorious Fourth still shines as an inspiration for people around the globe. May God Bless America!

Q: What is the best practice for implementing low cardinality searches in Cassandra Assume that I have the following table CQL (well a fragment of the table):
CREATE TABLE order (
  order_id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  placed timestamp,
  status text,
)

Now if status could be one of PLACED, SHIPPED, or DELIVERED as an enum, I want to find all of the orders that are in PLACED status to process them. Given there are millions of orders and all orders are ultimately ending up in DELIVERED status a materialized view doesn't feel like the right solution to the problem. I am wondering what ideas there are to solve the problem of this low cardinality index without passing through the whole data set. Ideas?

A: I would recommend a table like
CREATE TABLE order_by_status (
  order_id UUID,
  placed timestamp,
  status text,
  PRIMARY KEY ((status), order_id)
)

Then you can iterate through the query to SELECT * FROM order_by_status WHERE status = 'PLACED';. Millions shouldnt be too much of an issue but it would be good to prevent it from getting too large by partitioning by some date window.
CREATE TABLE order_by_status (
  order_id UUID,
  placed timestamp,
  bucket text,
  status text,
  PRIMARY KEY ((status, bucket), order_id)
)

Where bucket is a string generated from timestamp like 2017-10 from the YYYY-MM. You might wanna stay away from MV's for a little bit yet, it has some bugs in current version. I would also recommend against secondary indexes for this model, using a 2nd table and issuing inserts to both is going to be your best solution.

Many people still dont know about this activity, so I really want to suggest you this one! It's SUPER RECOMMENDED activity to do during summer time.
Once you arrive at the place, you can change clothes, wear life jacket, get the paddle and follow the instructor to get brief lession how to deal with paddle boat. This is so important because you might get hurt of you do not listen to the instruction.
After the briefing is done, time to get into the water. Before you really jump into watwr, they will give you final explanation and show you how to do it.
It cost you only 20.000 won for one sesion ride. They open everyday with more session during weekday.
The 4th and 5th session are the most favourite time since you can also enjoy the sunset of Han River while riding the paddle boat.
Take subway and get off at Ttukseom Resort Station (line 7), take exit 2, walk for around 300m.
Once you get out from the station, go to your left, keep going straight untill you pass the swimming pool area and turn right go to the side of river.
My friend said this cafe looks like haunted house. First time I came here, oh yes I agreed with my friend. This cafe has a really unique and artistic interior design which makes it look like unfinished buildings with unpainted wall, brick wall, no celling- kinda interior. However, this is the main point which makes this cafe is pretty cool. You will feel like being at warehouse instead a cafe.
This cafe has some separated rooms which are the main room where you can order and buy bread and coffe, while other rooms are the seating room with chair and sofa. They also have outside seat on the 2nd floor, which is really cool but very hot during summer.
They also have bakery in this cafe which are also very good. The most favourite one is the bread which looks like a tower topped with white sugar.
You can take taxi and show this address to the driver.
Milestone Cafe is another popular cafe in Garosugil, The concept is vintage, classic coffee shop. The cafe is kinda small, only 10-15 tables available, but they made it in details with vintage and oldschool design interior. If you want to experience more vintage vibe, try to visit at night, when the yellow light will give you more vintage feeling.
They sell not only coffe, non-coffee, tea, but also bread and cakes.
The photo spot is inside and outside the cafe. Just in front of the cafe, they set some benches and tables so you can sit, enjoy while drink the coffee, and take photo as well.
You can also have your own photosession in Seoul with #rufustory.
Milestone Coffee (마일스톤 커피) .
One of the most popular cafe recently in Seoul is Style Nanda Pink Pool Cafe. This cafe belongs to cosmetic brand 3ce which opened its first joint cosmetic store and cafe in Myeongdong. However, they also opened the second flagship store in Hongdae area, which is so much bigger and better. The first floor of the building is cosmetic section, while second and third floor is clothes section. Pink Pool Cafe is located on 4th floor. It is said Pink Pool Cafe because the cafe really have pink pool inside it. Moreover, no wonder the name is pink cafe because the main interior design color is pink for the wall and blue for the ceramics. If you manage to visit Hongdae, make sure to visit the flagstore which is only 10 mins walking away from Hongdae Subway Station.
This cute pretty cafe is just perfect location for taking insta-worthy picture. Here I had photo-session with some customer.
Garosugil is famous for having many beautiful cafe, one of them is Cafe Mula. The concept of this cafe is simple, minimalis, white and greeny concept with combining the green plant decoration and glass window and door for the interior. As you enter the cafe, you can feel the summer vibe which is green and fresh, but still minimalis and simple.
Not only beautiful in green color, this cafe also has famous delicious cake, which is Green Tea Tiramisu.
One of the most important thing from a cafe is there must be instagram-worthy spot for taking picture. Here I take many photos for my beautiful blogger LeeSan.

Amex GBT considers further acquisitions
Matthew Parsons
AMERICAN EXPRESS Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) is not ruling out further acquisitions as it prepares to launch a new booking concept, designed to attract smaller corporate customers. The company announced its intention to acquire Hogg Robinson Group on February 9, with the two companies currently organising "transition teams". The acquisition, subject to antitrust and other regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018. During a media briefing this week,
Jason Geall, Amex GBT's vice-president/ regional general manager for northern Europe, said: "There is positive, organic growth in the UK market. We decided to invest in content, technology and people three years ago… we will continue to look at acquisitions. We are proactive in all three areas, so TMCs are very possible." The company also unveiled a new concept called "Business Travel Made Simple", which was officially launched at the Business Travel Show and Travel Technology Europe at London's Olympia on Wednesday. Amex GBT's solutions are being packaged up in a more streamlined
manner for those customers that do not have "complex requirements". The move is a bid to position Amex GBT as more of a competitor to "local" TMCs. Kate Roe, head of marketing for
Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, said: "As a global TMC, we've got all these great products, but how can we package this up for those who don't have complex requirements? For example, it's for the office PA, if travel management isn't their main job. This makes it simple – it's in a box, ready to go." She added new customers could be activated within "three to four
CARNIVAL BRAWL
Inquiry into staff response
LILLIPUT LAND: Walt Disney World Resort's new Toy Story Land will open on June 30. The 11-acre park, at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida, has been inspired by the Disney Pixar films. Guests will "feel like they have shrunk to the size of a toy", as characters Woody, Jessie, Buzz, Slinky Dog, the Aliens, Green Army Men and others come to life in Andy's backyard, featuring giant building blocks and game board pieces. Attractions will include a family-friendly Slinky Dog Dash rollercoaster and Alien Swirling Saucers. Crayons, Rubik's Cubes, Green Army Men and other toys and games will also feature.
CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE has launched an investigation into how its own staff behaved during a series of brawls on one of its ships. Security personnel and crew members onboard Carnival Legend attempted to break up a number of fights during a South Pacific voyage last week. Footage from the ship, bound for its homeport of Melbourne, showed large groups fighting with other passengers. Staff were called to break up several brawls over a number of days. One clip showed a man wearing a jacket with a "security" logo, and a crew member appear to kick a guest on the floor in one of the vessel's public areas, as a uniformed woman attempts to stop the filming. A Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson
said: "The actions seen on the video by our security team are not in line with our Carnival values and policies. We are conducting a full investigation

and will take appropriate corrective action as necessary."
Nine members of the same family
were ordered to leave the ship, while another 14 relatives left voluntarily when the vessel made an unscheduled stop in Eden, New South Wales. All were taken ashore on a police launch. Carnival Cruise Line said its security team had responded "in several instances" to "extremely unruly behaviour" by the guests. The cruise line said it recognised the incident "may have prevented other guests from fully enjoying their cruise" and has offered all passengers a 25% credit against future bookings.
weeks" and that the package would "appeal to firms that had a local TMC". It is also designed for companies with employees who travel around the world from one main country. "We give travel managers the tools
– physical and digital – that they can show to the leadership team, so they know what they're signing up for. "How do you equip travel managers with the right tools to make it an ongoing success? We wanted to go a notch further down, and make it self- loading. We spent a long time talking to travel managers and buyers." "Welcome pack" boxes were sent out last week to initial pilot customers, containing posters, templates and other marketing material that can be white-labelled, and Roe said existing clients had also been invited to join.
"Sometimes we come across as too big, complex, expensive and not nimble," Roe added.

Washington, DC (January 29, 2016) – A Norway-led coalition today announced the launch of a 15 million Norwegian Kroner (approximately US$1.7 million) competition to help displaced Syrian children continue their education during the protracted conflict.
The EduApp4Syria competition will select up to five initial winners to develop a smartphone application that can build foundational literacy skills in Arabic and improve psychosocial well-being for Syrian refugee children aged five to 10. Up to two applications will be chosen for worldwide release after comprehensive development and testing.
Millions of families have been forced to flee their homes since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. As a consequence, an estimated 2.8 million children in Syria or neighboring countries are out of school. Syrian children both in and out of school are living under the extreme stress of a protracted conflict, and many are experiencing learning difficulties as a result.
The competition is searching for an application that is highly engaging and user-friendly, so that young learners stay focused and have a positive and motivating experience playing the game.
The entertainment gaming industry is encouraged to get involved and form partnerships with other stakeholders that can result in new types of self-learning tools to supplement existing formal and nonformal educational programmes.
The competition is coordinated by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and is being launched in cooperation with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU); All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development, a partnership including the United States Agency of International Development (USAID), World Vision and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade; mobile operator Orange; and the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE).
For further information and to submit an application, please visit www.norad.no/eduapp4syria. Applications for the prize are due April 1, 2016.
International agencies need to take serious games very seriously. Much can be done with it. Like i at Aklavya(http://aklavya.org) an developing a free educational game for kids that takes into account the ability of the learner and the learning mode which suits the child best through suitable in game psychometric tests. What do you guys think about this idea.
