Koi, established by Masterchef alumni Reynold Poernomo, is well known for its beautiful desserts and I've had the opportunity to try many of the cakes and pastries. This time, I was here to visit the upstairs restaurant where they do a mix of savoury and sweet.
We opted for the 5 course set menu at $80pp which consisted of one entree, one main and three desserts. The meal kicked off with a savoury snack, a Confit duck donut with berry jam. The donut was fluffy and I enjoyed the pairing of the duck and berry flavours.
For entree, we had the BBQ Moreton Bay bug with pickled kohlrabi and crispy sweet potato. The Moreton Bay bug was beautifully cooked and soaked up the delicious curry sauce. The crispy sweet potato added a great textural element to the dish.
The Sous-vide quail had a crispy skin and the eschallot and quail jus packed a whole lot of flavour. So far the savoury dishes have exceeded my expectations.
The Crispy duck breast was very tender, however, the purple carrot could have been cooked for a tad longer. The beetroot puree added earthiness to the dish.
The Murray cod was beautifully steamed but the highlight for me was the poached mussels. They were plump and juicy, and took on the umami flavour from the shallot dressing.
Onto desserts and we started with the Deconstructed carrot cake. I'm not usually a fan of carrot cake but in this instance, I enjoyed the interpretation. It was very light, not overly sweet and had so many different textural elements.
Next was the Vanilla mousse with Calamansi. Firstly, the dessert looked stunning as it hit the table, with the burnt honey mango resembling honeycomb. The mango sorbet was silky smooth and I enjoyed the pops of flavour from the compressed cumquat and pepperberries.
All in all, I was impressed by the quality of the dishes but would have preferred the ratio of savoury vs sweet to be reversed for a more balanced meal.
12 Micron is an establishment situated in the new dining precinct of Barangaroo, complete with its own dessert bar helmed by Darren Purchese. First thing I noticed about 12 Micron was the enormous, modern space (able to seat more than 220 patrons) with a brilliant harbour view.
We were excited to get to the desserts but decided to have some savoury dishes first before the sugar hit. The menu is focused on Australian produce and we start with the Lobster omelette. It was a classic dish done well, with generous servings of lobster.
The Moreton Bay Bug rice paper rolls were disappointing in flavour and serving size, given the price charged.
The Goats cheese tortellini, on the other hand, was beautifully executed. The tortellinis were plump and the burnt butter sauce was spot on.
The Flinders Island lamb was beautifully cooked. I quite enjoyed the texture of the damper and the seared sweetbreads were very tasty.
The Suckling pork came with crispy crackling and the preserved riberries added a nice touch, though serving size is again a little small.
There were a number of dishes on offer from the rotisserie, visible in the open kitchen. We picked the Duck with duck fat potatoes. The duck was good, without being spectacular. By this stage, we were ready for the dessert onslaught and this is where 12 Micron really shines.
There's an option for a 3, 5 or 7 course dessert degustation but we opted to go a la carte. We started with the Pistachio, green tea and yuzu creation. The Pistachio and green tea mousse was delicate and pillowy, as was the green tea sponge. The gelato was smooth and creamy and the pops of yuzu and blackcurrant added some bold colours and flavours to the dish.
The glass of Coconut, passionfruit, ginger and mint was delicious in every way, and it was fun searching through the layers to discover all the different elements.
The deconstructed Gin & Tonic dessert had more components than I could remember. There was the lime and lemon curd, frozen cucumber and lime parfait, white chocolate mousse and marshmallows just to name a few. Somehow, all the ingredients work together and really delivered on the flavour of a G&T.
Another favourite of the night was the Smoked Vanilla ice cream with plum, Barossa Valley Wanera and Thyme Sable. It's the first time I've had ice cream with a slice of cheese, and surprised to say, it worked amazingly well together! The cheese manages to temper the sweetness of the plum sauce and the honeycomb.
Olive oil, chocolate, toast ice cream and smoked salt was another exciting combination that worked beautifully. The olive oil jelly was light and creamy at the same time, the chocolate ganache was incredibly rich with the bread ice cream providing some much needed relief.
The Rose, Apple, Strawberry and Beetroot dessert definitely caught out attention with its striking red colour and wonderful fragrance. The crystallised rose petals was a bit too sweet for my liking, but I did enjoy the apple sorbet which was very refreshing and the moist beetroot sponge cake.
Just when we thought we had conquered the desserts, a plate of complmentary petit fours (actually, threes) arrived on our table. I found the raspberry jellies much too sweet, but the mint biscuit was tasty, as well as the dark chocolate truffle.
The design of the restaurant is impressive, from the segmentation of the space down to the beautiful cutlery and crockery. The desserts are clearly the star of the show and why you should pay 12 Micron a visit. Not only do they look amazing, but the creations are playful, imaginative and full of unexpected flavour and textural combinations.

Anyone ever have that important meeting they'd been preparing for go all awkward on them? I mean completely awkward. As in , "I had a plan for how I was going to run this meeting" turned into "This meeting is not turning out how I thought" turned into "Oh crap I just embarrassed myself" awkward. Not fun, right?
This is definitely something I've experienced! In presenting myself and my business, it took a turn (or maybe several turns…) into that uncomfortable territory. You know the one I mean–awkward silences, five people staring at you, your mouth has gone dry, and no matter how hard you try to get back on track everything just works against you. Yeah, those are no fun.
Try as I might, I just couldn't stop replaying the whole ordeal in my head. "Why did I have to say that?!" or "Why didn't I say this?" are just a couple phrases that come to mind. (There may have been a few four-letter words thrown in that I don't care to repeat here. And my husband will never repeat them either…I hope!) I do admit I'm a perfectionist, and probably the hardest on myself of anyone I have met or ever will meet. Unfortunately though, what happened has happened. It's done. I can't change a thing.
And maybe that's okay. Instead of agonizing over what you could have said, or wish you wouldn't have said, at that really awkward meeting…try to learn from it. Use that experience to prepare yourself for the next meeting or presentation that takes a complete detour from what you were prepared for. You can't always have the perfect answer for every question, but you can learn from your mistakes. Make a list of ways you wish you would have handled the situation, and grow from it. If you were honest in that weird, uncomfortable situation, and you honestly tried, then that's okay. You did your best with the information you had at the time. Above all, you were honest. (And quite possibly honestly awkward, in my case!) That's all anyone can ask of you! Be you, be honest, and if things go awkward on you…well, there's always the next time!

Your answer to maximum feed utilisation!
Most of the phosphorus (P) consumed by animals is excreted in the manure. This is a waste of resource, because up to 80% of the total phosphorus in grains and oilseeds is in an organically-bound form known as phytate or phytic acid. This form of phosphorus is indigestible to monogastric animals, as they have virtually no intestinal phytase activity of their own. Phytase is an enzyme that is capable of breaking down indigestible phytate to release phosphorus, making it available for absorption and utilisation by monogastric animals, thereby reducing phosphorus excretion.
The excretion of large amounts of phosphorus in manure.
Meri-phyze 5000 contains phytase, an enzyme capable of breaking down indigestible phytate (phytic acid) in grains and oilseeds; thereby releasing digestible phosphorus for pigs and poultry.
1. Improved utilisation of phosphate in the feed by increasing availability and digestibility of phytate phosphorus from feed ingredients of plant origin.
2. Higher profitability. Meri-phyze 5000 significantly reduces the amount of inorganic phosphorus normally added to the diet to ensure that the animal's requirement of phosphorus is met, therefore reducing feed costs.
3. Improved digestibility of other phytate-bound nutrients such as amino acids, calcium, other nutrients and increased apparent metabolisable energy.
4. Reduced anti-nutritional factors such as inorganic phosphorus and phosphate-phytate.
5. Reduced output of phosphorus to the environment through excretion in manure, therefore being nature-friendly.
To produce healthy animals the natural way, Meri-phyze 5000 can be used together with Orego-Stim®, a natural feed flavour containing many interesting properties including antibacterial, anticoccidial, antidiarrhoeal...and many more.
Available phosphorus in phytate goes to waste. Therefore, additional phosphorus needs to be added into feed.

The New York State Public Authorities Control Board is composed of five members, appointed by the Governor, some upon the recommendation of members of the Legislature. The five members of PACB are appointed by the Governor to serve one-year terms, with one member representing the Governor and acting as the chairperson. The Governor appoints the four remaining members based upon the recommendations of the Majority and Minority leaders of the Legislature. The members appointed by the governor upon the recommendation of the Minority Leader of the Senate and the Minority Leader of the Assembly are non-voting members. New York's public services are heavily organized into public-benefit nonprofit corporations, known frequently as authorities or development corporations. New York State-chartered public benefit corporations exist all over the state, but the most famous examples are probably in New York City (the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey).

The enabling statute provides that it "shall have the power and it shall be its duty to receive applications for approval of the financing and construction of any project proposed by [certain specified] state public benefit corporations."  Members may hold other state office, however, they may only be compensated "for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties."

Q: how to set a custom control button's job after adding it to some form? Im making a userControl named [File_Manager] and i was wondering if i can add a button to this custom control that i can set its job later after adding this custom control to another form .. something like
File_Manager fManager = new File_Manager();

fManager.SetFreeButtonJob( MessageBox.Show("Hello") ); // something like this.

then whenever user press that button .. the messageBox shows up.
So.. Is it possible to do that?
thanks in advance.

A: Sure you can. Just attach the buttons click handler to the action you pass in.
fManager.SetFreeButtonJob(() => MessageBox.Show("Hello"));
private void SetFreeButtonJob(Action action)
{
    button1.Click += (s,e) => action();
}

Just note that passing in the Action breaks the encapsulation of user control though. You should probably do something like SetFreeButtonJob(Jobs.SayHello); and put the knowledge of what to do inside the control.

A: Create a custom event for your UserControl and fire it when your Button is clicked. You can then attach an event handler to the custom event in your Form. Or you can just raise the UserControl's Click Event when your Button is clicked.
public delegate void CustomClickEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);

public partial class buttonTest : UserControl
{
    public event CustomClickEventHandler CustomClick;
    public buttonTest()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CustomClick(sender, e);
    }
}

and in your Form
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    buttonTest1.CustomClick +=new CustomClickEventHandler(userControl1_ButtonClick);

}

private void  userControl1_ButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Hello");
}

Or as my second option try.
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    OnClick(e);
}

and in your Form subscribe to the UserControl's Click event.
buttonTest1.Click +=new EventHandler(buttonTest1_Click);

private void buttonTest1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Hello Again");
}

Portland Travel Guide Portlandia
"Do you remember the '90s? You know, people were talking about getting piercings and getting tribal tattoos and people were singing about saving the planet and forming bands. There's a place where that idea still exists, as a reality."
Portlandia might not exactly be a real city, but Portland, Oregon is. The Pacific Northwest hotspot is the inspiration for former SNL actor Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney riot grrl Carrie Brownstein's hit television series. A mix of affection and ridicule, Portlandia satirizes not only its organic-loving, cooler-than-thou namesake, but hipster hubs everywhere. As soon as the show kicked off with the "Dream of the '90s" musical segment, we were ready to book flights to Portland. Because, duh, we love the '90s. It's hard not to have a place in our bohemian hearts for a city where "young people go to retire" and "all the hot girls wear glasses." While you're waiting for the show's fourth season, pay a visit to these sites filmed and referenced in Portlandia.
Ace Hotel, 1022 SW Stark Street
You've made it to Portland. Where should you stay? Check into the Ace Hotel, the second of the Seattle-born brand's locations. You may recognize the happening lobby from Portlandia's first season, spoofed as the Deuce Hotel in which staff members (played by Brownstein and Armisen) go ballistic on pretentious rock stars. Guests can enjoy the retro photo booth, Stumptown Coffee outlet, and Clyde Common restaurant--and the service comes without temper tantrums.
Voodoo Doughnuts, 22 SW 3rd Avenue
Start the day off with a sugar rush courtesy of a maple bacon bar, a signature at Portland's iconic Voodoo Doughnuts. It's the first stop in season two's scavenger hunt skit, in which Garman, the "little guy" with the helium-infused voice, saves the day. This ain't no Dunkin' Donuts--not only does Voodoo offer wacky toppings like Fruit Loops, Butterfingers, and marshmallows, but animal lovers can choose from an assortment of vegan varieties.
The Pearl District, SW Portland
If you're going to do this tour right, you've got to do it by two wheels. Cyclists in Portland don't mess around, as evidenced by Spyke and his crusade for bicycle rights in the show's pilot. Spyke's route takes him across The Pearl, a polished urban neighborhood filled with sleek cafes, lofts, and yupster families. Follow his tracks and hire a cruiser from one of the city's many bike shops. But tone down the aggression; real Portlanders rarely get so hot under the collar.
Jackpot Records, 3574 SE Hawthorne Boulevard
In Portland, everyone's a DJ. At least, that's what it feels like to Brownstein and Armisen when they're bombarded by gig invitations galore--including from the rocker's mom. Pop into the shop where the skit starts off, Jackpot Records on funky Hawthorne Boulevard, and find plenty of new and used albums for all musical tastes.
Food Carts, all over Portland
Stu's Stews is the fictional food truck run by comedians Jim Gaffigan and Matt Lucas in the winter special episode. Luckily, Portland's celebrated carts serve a lot more appetizing fare than that skit would have you believe. Foodies will revel in the cornucopia of sidewalk dining, especially the pods concentrated along Mississippi, Alberta, and Alder Streets.
Land, 3925 N Mississippi Avenue
If there's one catchphrase to take away from Portlandia, it's, "Put a bird on it!" In this classic first season sketch, Armisen and Brownstein mock twee crafters for placing birds on, well, everything. The charming knickknacks at Land might not be covered in feathered friend imagery, but the boutique served as the scene's location and is the perfect place to pick up souvenirs.
Mint/820, 816 N Russell Street
Andy Samberg may not be a mixologist in real-life Portland (I wish, sigh), but you can still visit the locale of his Portlandia appearance. Mint/820 is one of the city's enduring go-tos for cocktails. Decor is chic yet cozy, with a dramatic S-shaped bar as the centerpiece. And just like Samberg's character oh-so-cutely proclaims, the delicious concoctions at Mint are made with "a little bit of love."
Gilt Club, 306 NW Broadway
A true Portlander wouldn't consume just any type of chicken. While dining, Peter and Nance (played by Armisen and Brownstein) go to extremes to make sure their local, free-range poultry had a happy life before becoming dinner. Skip the fanatical farm inspection and head straight to Gilt Club, a stylish restaurant in Portland's old town focused on sustainable ingredients.
The Waypost, 3120 N Williams Avenue
Best Portlandia guest star ever? That's a tough question, but props go to Chloe Sevigny as whimsical Alexandra in season three. Both Armisen and Brownstein couldn't resist her lovable performance of kitten-like yowls and deadpan vocals at The Waypost. Catch a show at this hideaway in North Portland (NoPo to the locals), a cafe by day and quirky venue by night.
Portlandia Statue, 1120 SW 5th Avenue
Before you end your romp across Portlandia's set locations, pay your respects to the show's muse. Portlandia is the name of a trident-bearing statue--the second largest copper sculpture after the Statue of Liberty--based on an allegorical woman depicted in the city's official seal from the 1800s. This may sound crazy, but the facial resemblance to Brownstein is striking. Just saying...

Q: Niche Templating Engine for Batch Jobs First of all start off by saying this is more of an exploratory question more than a technical problem. I feel it doesn't belong to Code Review because there's nothing to review. I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to take.
My requirement is to build a batch process that can process user-defined files. These files usually come from external sources, so the filenames are not standard. One requirement that's causing me some headaches is supporting arbitrary dates in the filenames. And since these are batch job definitions that run on particular intervals, the definition has to be flexible enough to support it.

For example, one definition might be

*

*File1_Type1_{CurrentDate in YYMMDD}

*File1_Type2_{CurrentDate in YYYYMMDD}

*File1_Type3_Static_Text
So basically, I feel like I need a full-fledged template engine in order to support these cases. However, that sounds like huge overkill, so I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this.
Since I'm focusing on Java/Scala, I've found this library
https://scalate.github.io/scalate/documentation/ssp-reference.html
If we let users create ssp files like so:
#import(java.util.Date)

File1_Type1_${new Date}

then it gives the user full control over the entire formatting. But feels overkill to me? Or not? Welcome any feedback.

A: There are a huge number in the Java space.   I've used Apache velocity and https://freemarker.apache.org/.
I'm not aware of anything in the Scala space, but it would be an intriguing idea.

Boeing received certification on August 26, 2011 for the 787 Dreamliner from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency during a ceremony at the company's widebody final-assembly plant at Everett, Washington
"The Middle East has demonstrated extraordinary resilience in the face of the global economic slowdown, and this is reflected in the significant growth experienced in both the commercial aviation and defense sectors," says Jeffrey Johnson, president, Boeing Middle East. "As we look to the future, we see a high level of potential to further grow our regional capabilities, and we remain committed to working closely with our customers and partners here to help them achieve their goals."
Boeing commercial aircraft on display at the Dubai show will include a Boeing 777-200LR operated by Qatar Airways. This aircraft will be on static display.
Local low-cost carrier Flydubai will showcase a 737-800 with the new Boeing Sky Interior, and a privately owned Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) also will be present.
On the defense side, the range of Boeing aircraft in service with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces and displayed at the show will include a UAE Land Forces AH-64D Apache attack helicopter, a UAE Air Force C-17 Globemaster III strategic transport aircraft, and a UAE Special Operations Command CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter.
The V-22 Osprey, a tilt-rotor aircraft that can take off and land like a helicopter and fly like a fixed-wing aircraft, will make demonstration flights to showcase its capabilities, as will the AH-6i light attack/reconnaissance helicopter. A Turkish Air Force Boeing 737 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Peace Eagle, an F-15 Strike Eagle, and an F/A-18E Super Hornet will be on static display during the show.

How WD-40 stayed disruptive despite selling the same product for 60 years
It keeps its people on their toes, says author Whitney Johnson.
by Whitney Johnson
Change is the natural mode of human life. Change promotes growth; stasis results in decline. Whether they are the manager of a small team or the head honcho overseeing thousands of people across several business units, proactive managers get this.
They cultivate environments that keep the work experience fresh. They encourage and facilitate personal disruptions. They recognize that the best reward they can give their people—the thing that motivates and engages beyond money or praise—is learning. It's what makes each of us more productive. It's what turns our organizations into talent magnets.
As the case of WD-40 shows, managers who recognize this not only make a huge difference to their company, but have a direct influence on the lives of their employees.
An idea from the space age
In San Diego, California, in 1953, a new startup set its sights on the Space Age. The Rocket Chemical Company had a small lab and just three people, but they could see a major opportunity in front of them. The aerospace industry was producing incredible new technology—missiles and rockets that could fly farther than any had before—but that technology had a major weakness: it was all made of metal, and metal rusts.
Norm Larsen, the chief chemist, had an idea. He thought he could come up with a chemical compound that would keep the newly invented rockets and missiles from rusting. The secret would be to find a substance that would simply displace the water: stop water from clinging to the metal surfaces of the rockets so it would roll harmlessly away, like water off a duck's back.
In his one-room lab, Norm and his two cofounders tried again and again to find a compound that would work. They tried ten times. They tried 20 times. They tried 30 times. Finally, on the 40th try, Larsen and his team found a successful formula. They were soon producing the product for Convair, a division of General Dynamics and maker of NASA's Atlas missile.
Then something funny happened. The product worked so well that workers at General Dynamics started sneaking it home to use around the house as a protectant, solvent, and all-purpose lubricant. By 1955, Larsen realized he might have a market for his compound that was broader than the aerospace and defense industry. He went back to the lab and started a new set of experiments aimed at finding a way to put his special formula into an aerosol can. In 1959, the first spray cans of the product hit the market, and the world met WD-40.
The product's name comes from 'water displacement, fortieth attempt.' Not a lot of fanfare or marketing spin behind that one; but 40 years later, WD-40 had over 80 per cent market share in the multipurpose lubrication market. Today it's practically synonymous with that market, and that yellow and blue can is found in 75 per cent of American households. While companies like 3M and Valvoline have tried to unseat WD-40, none has been able to. By one estimate it has staved off competition from more than 200 rival products, including more than a dozen produced by billion-dollar firms.
The secret to staying ahead
How does a company stay at the top of its game for over 60 years, making and selling a single product whose formula has only been tweaked once? (In the early 1960s, they tried to improve the smell.) How can a company be successful when its product strategy flies in the face of everything the business establishment normally preaches, like 'segment your market' and 'diversify'?
I'd argue they do it by taking a radical approach to managing their people. In the United States, only 33 per cent of employees are engaged in their work, according to Gallup. Worldwide, those numbers are even worse: just 15 per cent of employees say they're engaged. But at WD-40, a whopping 93 per cent of employees consider themselves to be engaged in their work, and 97 per cent say they are excited about the future of the company. Why the difference?
Because WD-40 practices a human resources strategy that I call 'personal disruption.' A strategy that is centered around learning: you start as a beginner, embracing the confusion that comes with being a novice; you experience a state of deep engagement as you learn, grow, and gain traction; and you feel the joy of mastery once you get to the top of your learning curve. But then—crucially—you find a new challenge to tackle and the cycle starts over; human beings are wired to learn and change, not to stay in one place, doing the same thing over and over again.
At WD-40, this means that employees have an identifiable career path inside the company and that managers help their employees get from point A to points B, C, and D. WD-40 wants to keep people in house, not chained to their roles. They encourage employees to learn, leap to new roles, and learn and leap again.
Because management encourages leaps to new learning curves, many people have been there for ten to twenty-five years and longer. As CEO Garry Ridge told me, 'I get so much joy out of seeing people who are coming through the company and stepping into new roles. They're standing on the edge and I say "Jump! Don't worry. There's a net . . ."'
No wonder 60 per cent of WD-40 employees believe they can satisfy their career objectives without ever leaving the company. Three senior leaders began their careers there in the role of receptionist. 'Our brand manager for our key brand started in a part-time position [as receptionist],' says Ridge. 'We pushed her and pushed her and she jumped and she jumped, and now she's brand manager of WD-40. That's what we love.'
WD-40 exemplifies the practice of developing people through repeated disruptions. Because people are challenged by and engaged in their work, they stay. This impacts the bottom line. WD-40's market capitalization has grown from $250m to $1.6bn over the past 18 years.
Not bad for a company that sells a can of oil.

Q: Leibniz rule for bounded variation functions Assume that $f$ and $g$ are two functions of bounded variation from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$. I know that we have that $f.g$ is a function of bounded variation.
What is the Leibniz rule in this case? In other words, do we have that $d(f.g)= df.g + g.df $? Here $d$ refers to the differential. I would appreciate clear references where I can read more about the subject.

Lawyers Offer Pro-Bono Services in Hawaii GMO Fight
Kauai County will be getting free legal help defending an ordinance regulating the use of pesticides and genetically modified crops by large agricultural businesses. The county will be soliciting those pro-bono services now that three biotech companies have filed a lawsuit seeking to block implementation of the law.
JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER, Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) — Kauai County will be taking law firms up on their offers for free legal help defending an ordinance regulating the use of pesticides and genetically modified crops by large agricultural businesses.
While the bill was going through the process of being passed, several firms offered attorneys to fight legal challenges, county spokeswoman Beth Tokioka said.
The county will be soliciting those pro-bono services now that three biotech companies have filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block the county from implementing the law when it goes into effect in August.
"We have been told repeatedly that such a legal challenge would be filed, even as early as last summer during the first public reading of Bill 2491," Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. said in a statement. "So in that sense, this action is not surprising."
Environmental lawyers, including Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff, are also providing pro-bono assistance to defend the ordinance, while not directly representing the county.
"You've got three very big corporations all ganging up to bring this lawsuit," Achitoff said Monday.
Councilman Gary Hooser, who co-authored the bill, said Monday he's confident the county will do its best to defend against the lawsuit, even though Carvalho vetoed the measure. The council voted 5-2 to override the veto.
"I believe (Carvalho) acknowledges his responsibility and acknowledges that the council and the community are supporting this," Hooser said. "It's the law."
The lawsuit filed Friday by Syngenta Seeds Inc., Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc. and Agrigenetics Inc. says the law is designed to discriminate against genetically modified seed-farming operations on Kauai, which the companies argue present no health, safety or environmental risks. The suit also claims disclosing pesticide use and GMOs would create a risk for "commercial espionage, vandalism and misappropriation of ... valuable trade secrets."
The ordinance asks for "general descriptions" about what pesticides are being used, how much and where, Hooser said. "We're not asking for formulas. We're not asking for trade secrets," he said.
"If it costs them a little more money to beef up their security, rather than using secrecy, that's what they need to do," Achitoff said.
A Honolulu attorney representing Syngenta directed requests for comment to a company spokesman. The Honolulu attorney representing the two other companies couldn't immediately be reached.
A joint statement from the companies involved relayed by Syngenta spokesman Paul Minehart said the ordinance is invalid.
"It arbitrarily targets our industry with burdensome and baseless restrictions on farming operations by attempting to regulate activities over which counties in Hawaii have no jurisdiction," the companies said in the statement.
A scheduling conference for the lawsuit is set for April 14 in U.S. District Court in Honolulu.
Meanwhile, a voluntary agreement between the state Department of Agriculture and four seed companies operating on Kauai will continue, Carvalho said.
Under the Good Neighbor Program, certain schools, hospitals and medical clinics that are within 1,000 feet of the farming operations can register to receive a weekly schedule of any planned application of a "restricted-use pesticide" nearby. The guidelines also require a 100-foot buffer zone between application areas and schools, medical facilities and residential properties, unless federal regulations are stricter. The companies are also required to file a monthly report on use of those pesticides with the state agriculture department.

Last Saturday you supplied 2 fantastic performers!
I think we ended with the wrong man - that was Lionel Richie. He looked his double and his whole performance had the club members on their feet all night long. Hamilton was a true gentleman and the ultimate professional, in his act and dealings with the Officers of the Club.
Liz asked before her performance what the members like, a true professional, she started with the Sax, what a great way to start, and followed with so many songs. About 10 minutes in to the set our members were on their feet, and they don't usually participate that quick. Also what a lovely lady to talk to! She will be back again I'm sure.
The response from the Club members has been fantastic. We have now to beat that!
Chris Shannon was on the recent BBC talent program "All Together Now" as one of the judges.

Shopping for girls is a hundred times more fun than shopping for boys, with a wider choice of clothes and styles to choose from. I feel lucky that I have a girl who also appreciates fashion, from clothes, to footwear, to accessories.
Since the girl turned three, I've been having a hard time buying clothes and shoes for her since she already has a mind of her own when it comes to dressing. It was so easy to buy on impulse especially with the vast selection available in the market today but I need to control myself. Lots of hits and misses (and waste of money) along the way. She's 6 now and I think I know her taste already. So far, she's been liking, and wearing, what I buy for her. Among our usual shopping destinations is SM. Affordable fashion at it's best. They really have it all! Everything we need from head to toe.
We missed the SM Kids' Fashion Summer Pool Party a few weeks ago. We were supposed to shop from their summer collection and wear it at the event. It was only last weekend that I was able to check out their newest line in SM Megamall. Thanks to SM, I was able to buy a whole new wardrobe for the girl!
Summer style has always been one of the most vibrant looks in every kid's wardrobe. With the Summer 2013 Collection, SM Kids' Fashion lets boys and girls shine as bright as the sun.
Between lemon yellow tones and breezy floral dresses, each piece in the collection is a striking burst of style and color.
The sales attendants were all nice and allowed me to take photos of the merchandise that caught my eye.
Cool statement tees and animal-print tank tops at fantastic deals!
100 peso tank tops! Perfect fit... she loves animal prints too so she gave me a thumbs up for these.
Basic tees on sale - 2 for P250!
We can't get enough of legging, and luckily, I found these in her fave bright colors.
My personal favorite is this tiered tent blouse - layers of creamy tulle and crocheted fabric with deep blue Peter Pan collar, and brooch. Perfect for a summer party!
Of course, this summer will not be complete with swim wear. After the Holy Week, I bought my kids new sets to replace the old ones they've been using the past 2 to 3 years. It's about time they get new ones. The girl chose her own rash guard set, and I got her this lycra and mesh racerback swimsuit.
The boy took swimming classes so we bought two sets for him in classic styles and colors.
There's still so much more I wanted to buy for them but these are enough for now. Head over to SM and shop 'til you drop with all these summer-ific fashion finds!

Trudeau says he was never briefed on China's election meddling
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is claiming that he was never briefed on the fact that 11 candidates were suspected of benefitting from Chinese government interference during the 2019 election.
During a press conference in Tunisia this weekend, Trudeau alleged he first learned about the incident from the media.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: "Let me be clear. I do not have any information, nor have I been briefed on any federal candidates receiving any money from China." pic.twitter.com/GrTfFuHf39
— True North (@TrueNorthCentre) November 21, 2022
"Let me be clear, I do not have any information, nor have I been briefed on any federal candidates receiving any money from China," said Trudeau.
"I have asked the officials to examine these media reports and give all possible answers, everything they can, to the parliamentary committee that's looking into this."
The prime minister's claims are contrary to reports that Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) officials presented briefings to Trudeau and his cabinet in January on the subversion.
On Monday, Conservative MP Todd Doherty slammed Trudeau's apparent about face on Chinese interference.
"Last week both (Trudeau) & (Melanie Joly) told media they raised 'serious concerns' over China's interventions in the 2019 & 2021 elections. Now they're saying they have no info & have never been briefed? What?!? I guess we all experienced it differently," tweeted Doherty.
Conservatives have called for a full investigation into the matter and for the federal government to reveal which candidates were targeted by the operation.
It is alleged that nearly a dozen people received Chinese Communist Party funding and had agents actively working to influence the direction of policy.
"The Chinese Communist Party … is using all elements of state power to carry out activities that are a direct threat to our national security and sovereignty," a CSIS spokesperson told Global News.
When the story first broke, the Prime Minister's Office refused to acknowledge whether he was personally briefed this year.
Tensions between Canada and China came to a head at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia last week after Chinese president Xi Jinping confronted Trudeau for allegedly leaking details of a conversation between the two to the media.
"Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper; that's not appropriate," said Jinping. "That's not … the way the conversation was conducted. If there is sincerity on your part."
Trudeau for his part responded: "We believe in free and open and frank dialogue and that is what we will continue to have. We will continue to look to work constructively together, but there will be things we will disagree on."
