My wife and I along with most of our present staff, created The Fish Pot 17 years ago in a part of Barbados which was pretty much forgotten.
17 years later, we are all proud to say that our little ocean front restaurant, which is housed in a 17th century fort ( Fort Rupert ) is considered by many to be one of the leading restaurants in Barbados.
Simply put, we personally like fresh simply prepared food in a casual yet stylish ambiance. The Fish Pot we believe has ticked all our boxes.
We welcome you to visit us and sample for yourselves our little place.
This small, low-key, relaxed and out of the way property lies on Barbados' sleepy north-west coast. It offers spacious, cottage-like suites equipped with full kitchens, and dining in The Fish Pot, a casual-chic beachfront restaurant that is one of the most appealing places to eat on the island.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Little Good Harbour. We simply enjoyed everything about our holiday from the moment you greeted us with a welcoming Rum Punch to the last delicicious lunch on the beach in the Fish Pot. You have built a wonderful business with care and attention to detail from the unfailing courtesy and 'can do' attitude of your staff to the beautiful local art and furnishings in the villas and gardens. Having never visited Barbados before we were so happy that we experienced you and the north of the island first. We will be back and we will have no hesitation about recommending you to everyone we know!
The Best restaurant on the Island! We visit Barbados every year and visit the Fishpot at least 6 times for dinner - it is a MUST! The food is really fabulous, the location is unbeatable and the staff are incredibly nice. The perfect spot for a relaxing evening - you will love it!!
My husband, adult daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here last evening. The food and service were excellent. It was lovely to have dinner with the sound of ocean waves in the background. We were in an alcove right on the beach! The dessert, cocoanut crumble, and also lemon pie were I think the best I've had anywhere. A very pleasant, casual atmosphere with top drawer food and service.

Fire chief calls for sprinklers in all high-rise buildings
Grenfell Tower branded 'turning point'
Watermist & Sprinklers
London's fire commissioner has told the BBC that the Grenfell Tower blaze must be a "turning point", calling for sprinklers in all high-rise council flats.
Dany Cotton, commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, said: "I think Grenfell should be a turning point.
"I support retrofitting - for me where you can save one life then it's worth doing.
"This can't be optional, it can't be a nice to have, this is something that must happen.
"If that isn't one of the recommendations (of the Grenfell Tower inquiry) then I will be so very disappointed."
A BBC Breakfast investigation which focused on half the UK's council and housing association-owned tower blocks found just 2% have full sprinkler systems.
The Department for Communities and Local Government says it will consider whether to retrofit sprinklers based on the recommendations from the inquiry into the Grenfell disaster.
In 2007, sprinklers were made compulsory in new-build high rises over 30 metres tall in England.
In Wales, all new homes built from 2016 now have to be fitted with sprinkler systems.
Scotland also has stronger regulation than England, with new residential buildings taller than 18m requiring sprinklers.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: "The results from the BBC investigation should be a source of concern to us all.
"The Grenfell public inquiry must report as soon as possible so that action can be taken."

Can Saad Haroon be the 'Funniest Person in the World'?
By Muhammad Altamash Published: October 25, 2014
Comedian Saad Haroon is now the finalist for the Funniest Person in the World competition. So vote for him and support Pakistan.
Comedian Saad Haroon has been making people laugh for over 10 years now, and he now stands on the cusp of achieving something truly great.
Saad is representing Pakistan in the finals of the inaugural 'Funniest Person in the World' competition and this weekend saw him perform in front of legendary comedians at Los Angeles' 'Laugh Factory' – a venue that has hosted top performers such as Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and Robin Williams.
It was wonderful to see Saad don a sherwani for his semi-final performance and to entertain an American audience with quips about biryani and the hospitality of Asian parents. Ahead of his possibly career-shaping performance in the final, I thought I'd speak to Saad about his journey so far.
Saad's come a long way since his first performance with the Blackfish troupe in the basement of a Zamzama cafe. During our conversation, he burst out in laughter on recollecting that the ticket for his first show was just Rs100!
Since then, he's formed a number of improvised comedy groups such as The Agency and Shark. But his first notable stand-up performance was at his sister's birthday party in 2006-2007. At the time, he'd been writing comedy for a while and was coaxed into doing a short performance for guests in the garden. That was the first time people heard one of his best jokes about how filthy directions in Defence can get. Using great wordplay, Saad reveals how getting anywhere in Defence may need you to 'go down on Shaheen' and maybe 'come up on Shahbaz'.
Saad has been alternating between the two comedy types before choosing to focus on stand-up. Explaining the reason for the choice, he said there is a different type of nasha (heady intoxication) in each. For improvised comedy, there's an enjoyable camaraderie in making jokes with your friends on stage. In contrast, stand-up gives a performer a much greater high. That's because an audience's response is a wholly personal endorsement of your skills. It can also be more satisfying as it also gives you greater room to address topics that interest you.
Since then, he's performed around the world from Dubai, London and even Australia, which means that he's had to change his routine to suit local tastes. For his five minutes Laugh Factory performance at the semi-final, Saad chose to retain references to Pakistan but to focus on universal themes like fathers, protests and how being a comedian is never considered a viable career choice.
Even though the competition means that he's been around the famous sites of Hollywood and Las Vegas, he's had little time to do any sightseeing as he juggles the demands of the competition, interviews and his usual routine of performances. There has been some glamour though as he got to interact with hugely successful comedians such as Dane Cook and hung out with veteran performers.
As our conversation moved towards his upcoming performance in the competition's final, Saad made a very insightful comment. He mentioned that in the midst of all the doom and gloom about our country, it would be great to have an uncontroversial, happy piece of news about Pakistan.
Saad states that stand-up allows a comedian to show a different, surprising side to everyday matters that people wouldn't have noticed otherwise. And so while his goal is to entertain, his work also exposes a global audience (that is used to a distorted view of Pakistan) to interesting observations about our lives that are delivered in an endearing manner.
The past few weeks have seen perplexing falsehoods about our country aired around the world in the form of Homeland's new season. More depressingly, we've rightly been criticised in the international press too for vilifying rather than championing our record-breaking Nobel Prize winner. Amidst all the talk of conspiracies by external powers to demean us, it's great that we now have a simple way to take charge and show our country in a more positive, realistic light.
How many times have you sighed on seeing a prejudiced view of our country and hoped for a simple opportunity to tackle the discrimination that comes with our identity?
If you can relate to that feeling of being misunderstood, all you need to do is to wake up this Sunday afternoon, October 26th, watch his final performance and, if you think he's the best, just make a simple click to help change our country's image.
Twitter has been buzzing with expressions of support for Saad and now it's up to all of us to help him on the next step of his journey.
#SaadHaroon has filled our heads with pride, Now Its our turn to #Vote4Saad to make him win this International… http://t.co/msDD1bEvw1

There are two standard "complete" points for a single-player game: beat the final boss and 100% completion. Steam achievements and similar systems usually mark both of those endpoints. There is one achievement for each, along with at least a half-dozen achievements for each aspect of the game you might take to 100%. These collective 100% achievements are what we call meta-achievements: the achievement for gaining achievements, in this case all the other ones. MMOs are fond of having many achievements that build to meta-achievements for each dungeon, special event, etc.
Guild Wars 2 has moved to setting meta-achievements below 100% without a 100% completion achievement. As mentioned, I think that is a great idea, particularly when the achievements are scattered across different types of content. You encourage diverse play without making someone feel "forced" to do everything to get the shiny prize. This is especially true for events and new content, because sometimes the new content does not work as intended or is radically polarizing, and you should not encourage people to play your most painful content. Team Fortress 2 learned this lesson with its class updates, originally going with "complete all the achievements to get the meta-achievements" and tying new equipment to those meta-achievements, which led to radically aberrant gameplay; class meta-achievements are now done with about half the achievements.
I think I still want 100% completion for single-player games. Those are for completionists, not everyone, although I want no one-way doors on that path. For my MMOs, I like having a bar below "do everything" because I hate that night where you make 20 attempts in a row because the event is going away tomorrow (or worse: time-limited, attempt-limited, non-tradable, random drop collection achievements).
The Queen's Jubilee does this somewhat differently, and I will address it in a separate post.
I note, however, from reading the official GW2 forums, that making the meta-achievements only require most of the achievements, not all of them, really has not stemmed the tide of tears, temper tantrums, and general hurt butts.
God, the crying about there being a kite in the WvW jumping puzzle.. unbelievable..
implementation could be better though… why do you still get achievementpoints if you have the required ones finished and do the rest? Completionists who want each AP feel they still have no choice.
I'm someone who completes more than 5 dailies if I'm playing, but since the pool of achievement points is potentially infinite (complete with infinitely repeatable achievements in some categories), it's not like I can permanently miss out on achievement points. I can miss out on achievements, but those have to be for my own satisfaction, because no one else can see my achievement screen of historical Living World content. And I skipped about six months after they threatened to start adding progressive loot tiers, so I can never have all the Living World meta-achievements, so I'm free!
They also have to do every single daily, PvE and PvP, and at this point that's like sixteen or something.
My only beef with GW2's achievement system (and the vast majority of its content, in fact- jumping puzzles, also come to mind) is that getting 99% of the way to the achievement bar (wherever it is set) only gets you abouty 5% of the reward (basically whatever xp/drops you pick up along the way).
There's little to no granularity in the reward structure, and given that the mechanics of most things are so damn error-intolerant that adds up to a TON of frustration.
Lowering the bar for what constitutes "achievement get" helps a little bit but very indirectly and inefficiently. They need to make their rewards more granular ("xp for everything" and the event rewards structure were a good start but the rest of the game has the complete opposite philosophy- then again throwing down chests for champs and dungeon bosses is good step too), and their actual gameplay mechanics (and UI) more accessible. They're finally helping the UI problem with the new effects culling.

Q: Java and mysql - variables and loops I have next variable in my Java code
vNumber = 7
vOrder = 1
vDateFrom = 1.1.2015
vDateTo = 1.1.2016

I need to conect to mysql database and get query to return result
 select * from myTable
 where number = vNumber
 and order = vOrder
 and dateFrom = vDateFrom
 and dateTo = vDateTo

the problem is if I don't have enter some of varialbes like this
vNumber = ''
vOrder = 1
vDateFrom = 1.1.2015
vDateTo = 1.1.2016

I need query don't take variable vNumber
select * from myTable
 where order = vOrder
 and dateFrom = vDateFrom
 and dateTo = vDateTo

also need if vNumber and vOrder don't enter return in query clause where does not take into consideration vNiumber and vOrder... and so the combination of all variables.
How to create query if i don't have value some of variables?
Any idea?

A: You can use a simple check for every parameter if it is not blank and then add in to where clause.
In java something like this:
    Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<>();
    if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(vNumber)) {
        parameters.put("number", vNumber);
    }
    if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(vOrder)) {
        parameters.put("order", vOrder);
    }
    if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(vDateFrom)) {
        parameters.put("dataFrom", vDateFrom);
    }
    if (StringUtils.isNoneBlank(vDateTo)) {
        parameters.put("dateTo", vDateTo);
    }
    StringBuilder sqlQuery = new StringBuilder("select * from myTable ");
    if (parameters.size() > 0) {
        sqlQuery.append(" where ");
        for (String paramName : parameters.keySet()) {
            sqlQuery.append(paramName).append("=").append(parameters.get(paramName));
        }
    }
    //this will return your query
    sqlQuery.toString();

But the best way when you are using java to access sql is to use prepared statement and then execute query: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html

History. The fade haircut was made popular predominantly in the '90s, but it was gaining fans in the '80s as well. Many African-Americans were leaving the era of Jheri curls and Afros for a cleaner-cut look.... The girl in this video didn�t put a guard on the clipper, so it was cut to be incredibly short. However you can add clipper guards to cut your hair into a slightly longer buzzcut.

Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek medical help. Headaches are a common cause of suffering, but all headaches are not created equal. For example, a migraine is a splitting headache that just seems to set in apparently caused by no reason at all. If you have a stable pattern of recurring headaches accompanied by nausea at least some of the time, you probably have migraine.
The symptoms accompany the headache including nausea, vomiting, or the feeling that light bothers the eyes (photophobia) or sound bothers the ears (phonophobia). Some people seem prone to migraine headaches, others get tension headaches, sinus headaches or cluster headaches. Once the pain of headache sets in, it is sheer agony. Headaches are diagnosed based on symptoms. No procedure can determine the diagnosis.
If you're not sure what triggers your headaches, you may want to start keeping a record. People who get headaches are thought to have an inherited abnormality in the regulation of blood vessels. Triggers can be divided into different groups, including emotional triggers, stress, environmental, chemical, food and beverage.
Though it has been seen that some headaches does run in families, it's not necessary that children of headache patients will also have it. Insufficient sleep, anxiety, problems, and worries give rise to the tension headache. Headaches can also be triggered by allergies and stress. Although many sufferers have a family history of headaches, the exact hereditary nature of this condition is not known. Stress, insomnia, over sleeping, and hunger may also trigger some form of headaches such as migraine.
You may have some triggers that start your headache attack at one time, and then these triggers can change. Cheese (pizza) is also a triggering factor in some people, while in others it only aggravates an already existing condition. You may find it hard to avoid them, but for some people, environmental changes can trigger a migraine. Some even go to say that a migraine maybe triggered by the end of a stressful situation.
Herbs such as Ginkgo and Feverfew assists in lowering the intensity of the pain. If the pain is severe, which it frequently is during a full-blown migraine attack, then you may need medication. Being aware of what brings on your headaches is key to finding drug free relief. Migraine may be, relieved by identifying and avoiding problem foods. Some sufferers respond to salt, lactose in milk and ice cream, cigarette smoke, birth control pills, caffeine and tryptophan, an amino acid found in protein-rich foods. Find out if you have any allergies. Allergies can cause headaches.
Virtually all headache therapies are designed to eliminate, or at least mitigate, pain. Individuals who experience several moderate or severe migraine headaches per month or whose headaches do not respond readily to medications should avoid triggers and consider modifications of their lifestyle. Some people find that by falling asleep, they can actually eliminate the attack. Sometimes a separate visit to your medical practitioner to discuss your headaches specifically may be necessary.
There are a number of alternative headache treatments such as using aromatherapy, acupunture, biofeedback, homeopathy and herbal remedy such as feverfew. Tension headaches may be helped by taking a 5-HTP supplement, or peppermint oil. Individuals with occasional mild migraine headaches that do not interfere with daily activities usually medicate themselves with over-the-counter (OTC, non-prescription) pain relievers (analgesics). There are several natural solutions that can help you fight headaches, but the first thing you need to do is work out what sort of headaches you are actually suffering from.
Crucial to the appropriate treatment of headache is the proper diagnosis of its type, and migraine headache is a particularly common form of recurring headache. There are many factors that contribute to the onset of headache pain and even migraines. Be careful not to overuse any headache medication; they are good friends when you need them, but poor masters! Try putting a cold damp cloth on your forehead or temple (on the side that is painful), or use a frozen bag of peas wrapped in a small towel, as cold compresses can sometimes help with the pain.
Many researchers believe that migraine and tension headache are close relatives, which explains why many headache patients can experience both kinds of headaches, and why similar treatments can help both migraine and tension headache. Tension headaches often start in the middle of the day. Tension headaches may be mild or severe. Some people report that their tension headaches are worse than a migraine headache.

Stony Brook Offering State-of-the-Art Lactation Rooms
Stony Brook University's brand new lactation rooms are now available across campus, offering state-of-the-art breastfeeding amenities to the campus community.
The Department of Student Community Development in the Division of Student Affairs designed these lactation rooms with the goal of fostering a safe and relaxing environment for breastfeeding parents who need a space to express, store and collect breast milk or nurse their child.
"The purpose of these new lactation rooms is to provide a private, comfortable space for milk-expression, and to offer a supportive and inclusive experience to faculty, staff and student-parents," said Emily Snyder, director for the Department of Student Community Development. "Through the use of these facilities, we hope to encourage the growth of a nurturing and supportive community of users on campus."
These new lactation rooms are provided throughout campus, offering greater convenience for student-parents who have classes in different buildings, as well as easy accessibility for faculty and staff. Current locations include the lower level of the Stony Brook Union (L06-14) and the second level of the Health Sciences Center (2-295). Additional locations at the Student Activities Center (SAC), as well as the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building (SBS), are set to open in Fall 2021.
Creating Stony Brook's campus lactation rooms was inspired by Snyder's own experience returning to work after having her first child. "I felt fortunate to have a semi-private office space to address such needs, but became hyper aware of what the experience must be like for colleagues and students who do not have such a space on campus." When starting the project, Snyder turned to an "exclusive pumping" online peer support group of 6000+ users to conduct an informal focus group; the users were prompted to share what amenities they would wish to see in an ideal lactation room space. The thread garnered significant feedback, much of which found its way into the final result of the campus' new spaces.
Stony Brook's lactation room amenities include a hospital-grade, multi-user, electric double breast pump (Medela Symphony), a baby changing table, cleaning and personal care supplies, noise-suppressing sound machine, privacy screen, full-length mirror, and a comfortable seating area with a pillow and blanket. Additionally, a mini-refrigerator is accessible in each space for daily milk storing purposes as well as a microwave for steam cleaning, when needed. Mini storage lockers are available in some locations, where users can temporarily store personal breastfeeding accessories.
Upon completion of a Google form, agreeing to the terms and conditions of use, users are given access to all of the active lactation rooms throughout campus. Card access to these rooms is not exclusive to faculty, staff and students, but is also available to other ID holding parties who frequent campus and need to use these facilities, such as volunteers and affiliates. One-time access may be granted to campus guests by contacting the facility manager responsible for the particular building of interest.
In addition to the lactation rooms, other efforts to provide more support to parents on campus have been put in place. Six new baby changing stations have recently been installed in high-traffic restrooms in the SAC, in addition to the six restrooms in the Stony Brook Union, which already feature space for this purpose.
The funding of the lactation rooms was made possible with generous support from Stony Brook University's President's Office, the Chief Diversity Office and the Renaissance School of Medicine.
For more information, details about current locations, terms and conditions of use, and to gain access to active spaces throughout campus, visit stonybrook.edu/lactation.

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1960.
First U.S. edition. Translated by Jean Stewart. Red quarter-cloth with charcoal paper boards. Spine stamped in silver. About near fine with light soiling and gently bumped corners, pages toned as usual in a very good jacket with rubbed edges, light soiling to rear panel, small closed tears and shallow chips, spine faintly sun-toned.
Like the practitioners of the New Novel, Butor actively pursued literary theory and criticism, and his work reflects an experimental notion drawn from a deep understanding of his craft. Written as a diary from the perspective of Jacques Revel, a French clerk who starts reading a murder mystery set in his adopted new home in England. Convinced that the mystery is real, he tries to solve it.

1. We may not have "leaving work" as a goal. The concept of work has changed over the years. We moved from an industrial age to an information stage, to an Internet age. In the process, our work became more self-fulfilling. In a changing economy, we learned to move from job to job, but we owned our abilities and skills. We monitored and monetized our ability to be "employable." As a result, our identity is wrapped up in our perception of how our skills are valued by others. We do not think of exchanging time for money, but seek compensation for our knowledge and experience. As long as our skills are current, there is no reason why we should not be able to exchange them in the workforce.
In addition, the nature of work has changed. We are not necessarily tied to a location, as we can work remotely with our technology. It is possible today to make a living without ever leaving home or getting out of ones pajamas.
2. Our lifetimes have expanded to give us more active years. The expected lifespan increases slightly every year, and more and more, we see people reaching 80, 90 and 100+ years with active, meaningful lives. This phenomena is also made possible by healthcare improvements. Modern science can clear out blocked arteries, replace knees with titanium joints, keep our chemical balance up with drugs and, with one body scan, identify ways to proactively conquer what might have been a deadly outcome.
We are also taking a more active role in insuring our health. Diets have changed as people become more aware that eating vegetables means more than lettuce on a hamburger. Exercise programs are common routines in peoples' lives, and programs cater to different exercise needs.
3. We are not as able to depend on pensions, 401ks and other retirement vehicles to fund our extended lifetimes. Many baby boomers were hit by the Second Great Depression at the beginning of the century. At a time when our earning and saving potential should have been the greatest, we were borrowing from savings to put our children through college and short-selling homes when income stopped and mortgage balances exceeded the value of our homes.
Social Security, which we believed would be a source of income in our old age, is in jeopardy. When Social Security was established, younger generations funded older generations. This worked when the number of people in the younger generation, putting money into the system, exceeded those who were drawing from it. In fact, we enjoyed a reserve—that reserve will disappear. The Bubble of older Americans, who paid into the system for a lifetime, will soon deplete the reserve. There will simply be more people drawing from the system than adding to it. At present, the solution has not been agreed upon. Those retiring who think that the money will be there as promised, may be surprised when the payouts are reduced. By working longer on a full or part time basis, we can continue building our savings and supporting our lifestyles without adding the stress of the money question.
Baby boomers have redefined every stage of life we have progressed through. Retirement is no different. We have renamed this stage of our life "Act 3" so that individuals can write their own script so that they can choose how to define this stage of life, without being hampered by the definitions handed down to them from earlier generations. We will not go softly into the night. We will demand our human right be stay relevant, involved, current, and demand that society recognize our redefined role in society.

Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves by Frans de Waal
Nonfiction Animals, Psychology, Science 0
New York Times best-selling author and primatologist Frans de Waal explores the fascinating world of animal and human emotions.
Frans de Waal has spent four decades at the forefront of animal research. Following up on the best-selling Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, which investigated animal intelligence, Mama's Last Hug delivers a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals.
Mama's Last Hug begins with the death of Mama, a chimpanzee matriarch who formed a deep bond with biologist Jan van Hooff. When Mama was dying, van Hooff took the unusual step of visiting her in her night cage for a last hug. Their goodbyes were filmed and went viral. Millions of people were deeply moved by the way Mama embraced the professor, welcoming him with a big smile while reassuring him by patting his neck, in a gesture often considered typically human but that is in fact common to all primates. This story and others like it form the core of de Waal's argument, showing that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy.
De Waal discusses facial expressions, the emotions behind human politics, the illusion of free will, animal sentience, and, of course, Mama's life and death. The message is one of continuity between us and other species, such as the radical proposal that emotions are like organs: we don't have a single organ that other animals don't have, and the same is true for our emotions. Mama's Last Hug opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected, transforming how we view the living world around us.

Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves by Frans de Waal:等您坐沙发呢!


On the 4th of July, I had to say "Goodbye for a year!" to one of the great loves of my life, sending her off to conquer her sophomore year of college in the USA.
You're not supposed to have favorite siblings, so I won't, but from the day she was born we've had a special bond. We've been apart a lot, but the leaving is never easy, because every time we're together is so good. She's the only person who I can invite over to my house for the thrilling activity of sweeping and mopping all the floors. Today, I'm hurting without her. So I will cope by writing a long list as a distraction technique.
Now that I have been away from the USA just under two years, it's starting to feel like a long time since I last stepped on American soil, and the nostalgia and memories of the good parts of living there are creeping in.
1. Hug all 4 of my grandparents.
2. Play with my little cousins.
3. Dress up and go out swing dancing.
4. Visit ArtPrize in Grand Rapids in September.
5. Pick blueberries or cherries or apples at an orchard.
6. Go on a hayride.
7. Eat the cajun fries at Five Guys and Fries.
8. Eat an Arby's roast beef sandwich.
9. Eat at a really authentic Mexican food place.
10. Get all As in school.
11. Visit Bois Blanc Island.
12. Hang out on the Michigan lakeshore (could happen in conjunction with the visit to Bois Blanc).
13. Go sledding or snowboarding.
14. Cuddle up in fleece blankets with hot cider and feel cozy.
15. Watch an American tv show at the time that it actually airs.
16. Buy a t-shirt. One that's actually long enough for your torso and doesn't have random words like "happy feelings emotion" splashed across the front of it.
17. Eat a really, really good donut. Maybe a homemade one at one of those apple orchards in the fall.
18. Borrow books from the library.
19. Play hide and seek in the dark. Somewhere. On the farm, at a church...it's just the best game ever.
20. Visit a grocery store and buy something really hard for me to find here: disposable bowls, refried beans, tostadas, a chocolate orange, crazy stuff like that.
21. Buy me a bottle of purple haircolor before you come back again and put it in your suitcase.
22. Go ice skating outdoors.
23. Drive around looking at awesome Christmas lights.
24. Decorate a Christmas tree.
25. Listen to the country radio station while driving.
While this list keeps you busy, I'll be over here eating all the roti canai and drinking all the pineapple juice and visiting the ocean and playing with all the babies. Thank goodness for delegation, huh? Otherwise, how would we ever get everything done?
What would be the first thing you'd want to do upon returning to your country of citizenship after a few years away?
Ha ha! Happy Feelings Emotions!
That's so nice of you! It can be hard to go somewhere new and have no idea what to do, and those are really personalized items too.
Looks like I need to add Five Guys' Cajun fries to my to-do list! I think she needs to visit a place like IHOP or Denny's and get a big plate loaded with classic American breakfast foods.
These are great things to do when you're visiting America! Picking fruit is a great experience. I think she'll have a blast!
If you are going to issue someone with a to-do list then this is a pretty cool one to get. I think your sister will have fun ticking these items off!
Awe. I love the bond you have with all of your siblings! I've read quite a few of your posts and watched some of your videos, and you can tell there is so much love there. Great list of things to do...especially eating a really good donut, visiting the lakefront, and Mexican food too. I haven't had that for a long time, and could go for a great enchilada.
So awesome that you have such a close bond with your sister. Aren't sisters amazing gifts? I am lucky to have two of them.
Awww... I love that you gave her a to-do list! I'm sure she'll have a fantastic year!
This is such a cute post - sibling love is the best! I've heard ArtPrize in Grand Rapids is awesome, can't wait to get there myself one day.
I think that I would stock up on all the treats and snacks that I can't get in Canada... the cheeze-its for one. I so miss those.
I think that I would spend at least a few days sight seeing and getting myself acclimated again in the placed that I used to live in. That list is a fantastic idea. Hope she has fun!!
This is such a great list! I hope she has a blast!
What a list! I'm sure your sister will have lots of fun in US!
what a great idea that you came up with for your sister.. She is definitely going to have fun.
#16 about the t-shirt is HILARIOUS! Why do Asians feel the need to do that all that time? It's so odd but they really love it. I wonder if they look at our clothes and wonder why we don't write on them?
Also, I remember saying goodbye to family. It is really hard. I still cry every single time!
Numbers 15 and 16 made me laugh! I have a long torso I so remember trying to find tops in China that fit me was SO hard! And then of course everything we watched was pre-recorded (back in those days it was usually videos that someone mailed us). I remember one year we watched the Superbowl 3 months after it happened, ha!
This is a great list! For the most part, they are all things I want to do in the next year even though I haven't been out of the country.

VOORHEES et al v. ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY
Daniel Matthew Voorhees
Eastern District of Wisconsin
VOORHEES et al v. ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY complaint
VOORHEES et al v. ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY docket
COMES NOW the plaintiffs, Daniel Matthew Voorhees abo M/Y Broadwater and
Broadwater Marine, Ltd., by and through its attorney, Frank R. Terschan, and Terschan,
Steinle, Hodan & Ganzer, Ltd. and as a complaint against the Defendant, ACE American
Insurance Company, allege the following:
1. Plaintiff Daniel Matthew Voorhees is the beneficial owner of M/Y
Broadwater. He is a resident of the District of Columbia. For purposes of the present
dispute, he is listed in the applicable insurance policy with a mailing address of:
Broadwater Marine c/o BGC, 500 W Brown Deer Road #101, Milwaukee, WI 53217.
Claimant Broadwater Marine, Ltd. is a Cayman Islands holding company
with a mailing address on the applicable insurance policy of: Broadwater Marine do
BGC, 500 W Brown Deer Road #101, Milwaukee, WI 53217.
ACE American Insurance Company ("ACE") is an insurance company
with a mailing address listed on its insurance policy as: 436 Walnut Street, P.O. Box
1000, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3703. Upon information and belief, ACE is licensed to
and does insurance business in Wisconsin.
Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 801.05, this Court has jurisdiction over ACE
because ACE is a corporation that is engaged in substantial and not isolated activities
within this state, and has sufficient minimum contacts with Wisconsin so as to render the
exercise of jurisdiction by the Wisconsin courts permissible under traditional notions of
fair play and substantial justice.
Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to the venue clause in the
applicable insurance policy, which states that disputes arising under the policy shall be
venued where the policyholder lists its address on the policy declarations page.
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
This is a dispute over insurance coverage for damages, expenses, and lost
charter income for the yacht M/Y Broadwater.
Plaintiffs purchased from ACE marine insurance policy number YMY
Y09164510 (the "Policy"), which, among other things, promises to pay for damages to
the yacht, consequential damages, and extra expenses, and to reimburse the owner for lost
charter income. A copy of the Policy, as contained in plaintiffs' files, is attached hereto
as Exhibit A.
In April 2014, Plaintiffs purchased a 1990 163 foot Feadship custom yacht
named M/Y Inevitable (renamed M/Y Broadwater) for $9.5 million.
The yacht underwent an extensive pre-purchase survey and sea trial in
March 2014 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. No engine or power issues were discovered
during the pre-purchase survey and sea trial.
ACE reviewed the pre-purchase survey prior to writing the Policy. During
underwriting of the Policy, ACE issued a Survey Recommendation Compliance
Certification which required that certain repairs be made to the yacht by September 17,
The Policy took effect on April 17, 2014.
At the time of purchase, the yacht was moored in Nassau, Bahamas. After
plaintiffs took possession of the yacht, it was sailed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During
the crossing, the yacht experienced sudden engine and power system failure that resulted
in significant damage to the yacht. Subsequent investigation revealed extensive damage
to the yacht's generators, exhaust, and power systems, rendering the vessel inoperable.
Plaintiffs were under contract to charter the yacht to Millennium Charters
in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a result of the damage, the charter contract, worth
$450,000, was cancelled.
Extensive repairs of the yacht were undertaken over the subsequent year,
at a total cost of nearly $ 1 million.
Plaintiffs provided timely notice to ACE of the damage to the yacht. In
August 2014, ACE disclaimed any obligation to pay for the damage to the yacht on the
basis that the damage pre-existed the ACE policy period. ACE took this position despite
the fact that the yacht was extensively surveyed prior to ACE underwriting the coverage
and ACE signed off on the survey. No relevant pre-existing damage was noted on the
survey that ACE approved or on ACE's Survey Recommendation Compliance
ACE subsequently revoked its disclaimer in September 2014 and provided
plaintiffs with a Proof of Loss form to complete. Plaintiffs timely completed the Proof of
Loss form.
In October 2014, ACE requested additional damages documentation,
access to the yacht for inspection purposes, and stated that it wished to conduct an
examination under oath.
In November 2014, while at Bahia Mar Marina in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, the yacht suffered additional damage to its hull and propulsion system that
necessitated additional repairs.
In November 2014, ACE hired Bryan Emond of SEA, Ltd. to inspect the
In November 2014, plaintiffs provided extensive documentary evidence to
ACE in response to ACE's requests for information.
In December 2014, ACE requested additional information regarding the
loss. Additional information was provided to ACE in response to the request.
In January 2015, ACE requested more information regarding the loss, and
also requested a new, more detailed Proof of Loss.
In a March 16, 2015 letter, ACE claims adjuster Stuart Bamhardt
requested additional information, and stated that ACE's "preliminary analysis" indicated
no relation between the April 2014 incident and the costs of repair. Mr. Bamhardt's
letter stated that "[o]ur investigation remains ongoing and we will be happy to consider
any further documentation substantiating these charges."
In May 2015, plaintiffs submitted a revised and more detailed Proof of
Loss to ACE. Plaintiffs also requested that ACE follow the dispute resolution procedure
in the Policy, including arbitration, to resolve any disputed portions of the claim.
In May 2015, plaintiffs entered into a charter agreement to charter a
replacement yacht due to the ongoing repairs to M/Y Broadwater. The cost for the
replacement yacht charter was approximately $183,000.
In a June 9, 2015 letter, ACE adjuster Stuart Bamhardt stated that the
revised Proof of Loss was "rejected without prejudice" due to insufficient detail.
On June 23, 2015, plaintiffs submitted a third Proof of Loss to ACE.
Also on June 23, 2015, plaintiffs received a copy of a letter dated June 22,
2015 from ACE's Stuart Bamhardt stating that his investigation revealed that the amount
of damage caused to the yacht as a result of the November 2014 incident at Bahia Mar
Marina in Fort Lauderdale fell below the deductible.
On June 24, 2015, ACE remitted to plaintiffs a check in the amount of
$800, representing what ACE asserted it owed on the claim.
On June 24, 2015, plaintiffs served ACE with an Arbitration Demand.
On July 31, 2015, ACE's counsel wrote a letter stating that ACE would
not participate in arbitration because the request for arbitration was untimely under the
policy, citing the Policy's one-year suit limitation clause. In this letter, ACE also rejected
plaintiffs third Proof of Loss and invited plaintiffs to correct deficiencies in the Proof of
Loss and resubmit another revised Proof of Loss.
CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT
The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated and realleged as if fully
stated herein.
The Policy is a valid and enforceable contract of insurance, for which all
premiums have been paid.
Plaintiffs have performed all of their obligations under the Policy, and any
and all conditions precedent to plaintiffs' rights under that Policy have been satisfied,
waived, or defendant is equitably estopped from relying on them.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Policy, ACE has breached its
obligation to pay plaintiffs for losses they suffered as a result of damage to and loss of
use of M/Y Broadwater.
As a direct and proximate result of ACE's breach, plaintiffs have been
deprived the benefits of the insurance coverage for which they paid substantial premiums.
COUNT II - EQUITABLE ESTOPPEL
ACE is equitably estopped from relying on the one-year suit limitation
provision in the Policy because ACE induced plaintiffs to withhold initiating suit or
arbitration through its actions and communications with plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs reasonably relied to their detriment on ACE's promises to
investigate the claim and consider revised Proofs of Loss.
After the inducement for delay ceased, plaintiffs did not unreasonably
delay in attempting to bring an arbitration proceeding and then, when ACE refused to
participate in arbitration, this action.
Due to ACE's fraudulent and inequitable conduct, ACE should be
estopped from asserting a statute of limitations defense.
COUNT III - BREACH OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING
and all conditions precedent to plaintiffs' rights under that Policy have been satisfied or
Because of the fiduciary relationship between an insurer and its insured,
which arises from the duty of good faith and fair dealing implied in every contract,
plaintiffs had a right to expect to be treated fairly and to have legitimate claims paid
promptly.
ACE acted in bad faith towards plaintiffs by stringing plaintiffs along and
by conducting its claim investigation in such a way as to prevent it from learning the true
facts upon which the plaintiffs' claim is based.
ACE knew or should have known that it had no reasonable basis to deny
plaintiffs' claim, and its improper investigation and repeated delay and rejection of
plaintiffs' Proofs of Loss reflect an absence of honest, intelligent action and consideration
of its insureds' claim and reckless disregard for its insureds' rights under the Policy.
Among other things, ACE's bad faith claims handling included the
following violations of Wis. Admin. Code Sec. INS 6.11(3):
Failure to promptly acknowledge pertinent communications with respect to claims
arising under insurance policies;
Failure to initiate and conclude a claims investigation with all reasonable
dispatch;
Failure to promptly provide necessary claims forms, instructions and reasonable
assistance to insureds and claimants under its insurance policies;
Failure to attempt in good faith to effectuate fair and equitable settlement of
claims submitted in which liability has become reasonably clear;
Failure, where appropriate, to make use of arbitration procedures authorized or
permitted under any insurance policy;
Failure to affirm or deny coverage of claims within a reasonable time after proof
of loss has been completed; and
Knowingly misrepresenting to claimants pertinent facts or policy provisions
relating to coverages involved.
As a direct and proximate result of ACE's bad faith conduct, plaintiffs
have sustained and incurred, and are continuing to incur, substantial damages and
expenses.
As a direct, foreseeable and proximate result of ACE's bad faith conduct
and breach of its obligations to plaintiffs, plaintiffs are entitled to recover the full amount
of their damages, including all incidental, consequential and compensable damages,
along with pre and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees.
RELIEF REQUESTED
WHEREFORE, based upon the forgoing allegations, plaintiffs request that this
Court enter judgment for damages in favor of plaintiffs and against defendant, in an
amount to be determined at trial, but believed to be in excess of $ 1 million, and award
plaintiffs their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, along with pre and post-judgment
interest, and any other and further relief the Court deems just, equitable, and proper.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
Plaintiffs respectfully request a jury trial on all claims, as well as on each defense
which may be raised by defendant, that are triable to a jury.

Bernanke vs. the Borg: A Short History of the Fed's Amazing Transformation
By Matthew O'Brien
Kocherlakota's evolution shows Chairman Bernanke hasn't forgotten Professor Bernanke
(Youtube/Minneapolis Fed)
Central bankers -- they're just like us! Sometimes they make mistakes. Less often, they admit those mistakes. And even less often than that, they change their minds. That's what makes Minneapolis Fed president Narayana Kocherlakota so refreshing -- he's been open to evidence, and willing to disregard his past positions.
Kocherlakota is a self-styled inflation hawk. You pretty much have to be if you want to be a central banker -- outside of, say, Zimbabwe circa 2005-09. But more than most at the Fed, Kocherlakota has worried that unconventional monetary policies will only increase inflation without increasing employment. He's been concerned our labor market problems are structural. In other words, that companies can't find the right people for their job openings, and the unemployed can't find companies that have the right job openings for them. This kind of mismatch, if it existed, would be another unhappy consequence of the housing bust. The idea is the unemployed don't have the right skills or live in the right places to find a job -- the former because they worked in a bubble industry like construction; the latter because they lived in a bubble area that's left them underwater and unable to move. Printing money would do nothing for these problems, but it might do something for inflation. It's an intuitively appealing story. Except for the evidence bit.
Economists have looked far and wide for any hint of mismatch. They haven't found much. As Mike Konczal of the Roosevelt Institute notes, unemployment has shot up across both high and low-skill occupations -- the opposite of what the structural story says should happen. Then there's the lack of labor shortages. If our unemployment problem is really a problem of not enough skilled labor, we would expect wages for skilled labor to jump. That hasn't happened, as Paul Krugman points out. You know what else hasn't been rising -- at least not very much? Prices. Core inflation has stayed subdued -- again, the opposite of what the structural story says should happen.
But this inconvenient lack of facts didn't stop Kocherlakota. He was a man on a mission to find a reason to tighten policy -- and the less proof there was, the less coherent he became. In 2010, Kocherlakota warned the Fed had to be careful about its low-interest-rate policy because it "must lead" to deflation. Yes, deflation. Economist Andy Harless compares this to saying umbrellas cause rain. It gets the causation completely backwards. The Fed lowers rates when inflation is low, but lowering rates doesn't lower inflation. The opposite. Imagine if Ben Bernanke promised to never raise interest rates, ever. (Leave aside the question of how credible this promise would be). Inflation of the "hyper" variety would very quickly set in.
Kocherlakota's reasoning changed a year later, but his conclusions did not. In August 2011, he dissented from the Fed's forward guidance that it expected economic conditions to warrant near zero rates through mid-2013, because ... inflation?
If you're wondering how Kocherlakota could worry about inflation when he had said low rates cause deflation, well, don't. It's not worth it. What is worth it is a reminder about what happened to the labor market when Kocherlakota said it had improved. The chart below looks at the employment-population ratio, which shows us what percent of working-age adults are in fact working. See the recovery? Try squinting.
I don't mean to pick on Kocherlakota. At least he was making evidence-based arguments, even if they weren't particularly good evidence-based arguments. That's more than could be said of the other so-called inflation hawks. And it's why Kocherlakota eventually broke with them.
What if I told you Kocherlakota had come up with one of the more aggressive plans for the Fed to fight unemployment. You'd probably say that sounds like the plot of one of those awful body-switching movies. (It's Freaky Friday meets the Federal Reserve!). Well, it's not. Kocherlakota not only said he would have voted for QE3 -- he does not have an FOMC vote this year -- but also outlined his own version of colleague Charlie Evans' plan to jumpstart the recovery. Kocherlakota wants the Fed to promise to keep rates near zero until either unemployment is below 5.5 percent or inflation is above 2.25 percent. The idea is that promising to keep rates low even after the recovery has picked up -- and explicitly defining what that means -- will get people to spend more now without getting much more inflation, as M.I.T. economist Ivan Werning has argued.
Why did Kocherlakota change his mind? Well, he didn't -- at least not entirely. If unemployment really is structural, then inflation will go up long before unemployment goes down to 5.5 percent. Kocherlakota is admitting he might have been wrong, and proposing a way to test if he was. It's not quite the radical break it seems at first, but it's a significant break nonetheless. That still leaves the question of what made him think he might be wrong. The answer: lots of emails from Ben Bernanke. Here's what Fed whisperer Jon Hilsenrath of the Wall Street Journal tells us about Kocherlakota's evolution.
"I've learned a lot by talking to [Bernanke]," Mr. Kocherlakota said in an interview after the September meeting. Mr. Bernanke's "thinking is framed by data and models," he said. "It beats coming in there with just your gut."
I know what you're thinking -- there are people at the Fed who just go by their guts? Yes. Dallas Fed President and perpetual inflation hawk Richard Fisher said he opposed QE2 because "his gut" told him that it would "result in some unpleasant general price inflation." It didn't. Remember, Fisher even opposed cutting interest rates to zero in December 2008 -- when the financial apocalypse was upon us -- before Bernanke apparently brow-beat him into reversing himself.
Central banking isn't really about interest rates. It's about making and keeping promises. That's why central bankers worry so much about their "credibility", and why Bernanke was so slow to start QE3. When short-term interest rates are stuck at zero, central banks have to promise to keep policy easy in the future to get the economy moving again -- what Paul Krugman called a "credible promise to be irresponsible" in his 1998 paper on Japan. But there's the small challenge of making promises about the future when you might not be around in the future. Like Bernanke. His term is up in 2014, but QE3 makes promises beyond that. Markets might not believe the Fed's promises today if they think those promises will change if the Fed's leadership changes. In other words, Bernanke didn't want to do QE3 until he had persuaded all of the persuadable members of the Fed to support it. Like Kocherlakota.
This answers the big psychodrama surrounding the Fed -- what does Ben Bernanke think of Ben Bernanke? In other words, why wasn't Bernanke following the advice he gave the Bank of Japan to be much more aggressive amidst a depressed economy? Had he been assimilated into the "Fed borg", as Paul Krugman worried? No. It turns out Chairman Bernanke remembers Professor Bernanke plenty well. He was just making sure his colleagues did too.

Channel 5, the NBC Affiliate for KXAS/KXTX, selected Corgan to head their team in the design and construction of their new 75,000-square-foot studio facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The new building is a single-story tilt wall structure with high bay capacity for the news studios and open office area. The site was selected in the Centerport commercial development for its ideal location - half way between the central business districts of Dallas and Fort Worth. The facility consolidates two locations into one. The building is cutting edge, with an iconic transmission tower reminiscent of mid-century modern architecture from the era in which the news studio first opened its doors. The interior includes news studios, an open news desk, office space for sales and marketing, flexible meeting spaces and an employee fitness center.
