Recently, mobile messaging platform WhatsApp it has built a system that stores payments-related data in India, in line with Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) data localization policy. The RBI in a circular in April this year, had said all system providers will have to ensure that the entire data relating to payment systems operated by them are stored in a system only in India. It had given time till October 15 to comply with the mandate.
WhatsApp, which has 200 million users in the country, is the first major global player that has officially announced its compliance with the RBI directions before the deadline of October 15. WhatsApp spokesperson said in a e-mailed statement that "In response to India's payments data circular, we've built a system that stores payments-related data locally in India,". The move assumes significance amid the industry being divided over the RBI asking all payment system providers to ensure that data relating to systems operated by them is stored only in India.
WhatsApp spokesperson said in a statement that "In response to India's payments data circular, we've built a system that stores payments-related data locally in India,". The spokesperson further said WhatsApp hopes to expand the payments feature across India soon, so that it can "contribute to the country's financial inclusion goals". WhatsApp — which began piloting its payments service in India earlier this year — said almost one million people in the country are currently "testing" the feature.
This week, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had met RBI Deputy Governor B P Kanungo to discuss the data localization norm for global financial technology companies. The meeting had been attended by Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar and IT Secretary Ajay Prakash Sawhney.
The data localization mandate by RBI had drawn mixed response from the Industry. Domestic payment companies like Paytm and PhonePe welcoming the decision, while their global counterparts like Google which offers Google Pay in India have backed free flow of data. At the same time, some international players have sought more time and also asked that they be allowed to mirror the data. According to a government source, Internet based company Google, is said to have agreed to follow the RBI's local data storage norm for payment services but wants time until December this year to comply with the rules.
Besides this, nearly ten International associations are believed to have recently drafted a joint letter flagging concerns with some of the proposed clauses of even the personal data protection bill, which too mandates local storage of certain types of data. These industry bodies are said to be of the view that data localization proposed in the draft bill could have "significant negative effects" on the ability of companies to do business in India.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp, which has drawn flak from the government for circulation of fake news on its platform, has been testing its payments services in India for a few months now. India is the largest market for WhatsApp with the country accounting for over 200 million of its total 1.3 billion user base.
The government has already sent two notices to WhatsApp on the fake news circulation issue, following which the company has taken a number of steps to curb the menace. These include restricting the number of forwards that can be sent in one go, forward labels to highlight such messages and appointment of a grievance officer for India.

Vivek Singh is one of the most successful and respected Indian chefs in the country, with three renowned London restaurants to his name – The Cinnamon Club; Cinnamon Kitchen; and Cinnamon Soho.
After training at some of the finest luxury hotels in India, Vivek took London by storm when he opened The Cinnamon Club in 2001. With his refined approach to Indian cuisine, he completely changed
the perception of Indian food in the UK, elevating it from a cheap and cheerful takeaway option to an authentic fine-dining experience.
Over the years, his success and reputation have only increased, with the opening of two more restaurants, the publication of four cookbooks and a whole host of media appearances, including a regular guest slot on BBC's Saturday Kitchen.
"I have been lucky enough to follow my lifelong passion for food with a career as a chef and I now run three London restaurants serving modern Indian cuisine: The Cinnamon Club; Cinnamon Kitchen; and Cinnamon Soho. When it comes to cooking at home, however, Indian food is often misunderstood because of the use of spices and unusual ingredients, which can be off-putting.
I have always wanted to encourage people to venture more into Indian food and help people to discover new tastes and spices. With my first sauce range, I have crafted four of my favourite sauces using the finest ingredients and best spices to show the depth of flavour and variety in Indian cuisine. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!"
Situated in the heart of the City of London, Cinnamon Kitchen serves modern Indian cuisine in a relaxed and informal setting. A genuinely unique all-day dining destination, the restaurant houses the capital's first tandoor bar and grill, allowing diners to directly interact with a dedicated chef.
Complementing the restaurant is Anise, a chic cocktail bar serving the Square Mile drinking set a collection of the most exciting spice-infused blends.
Situated in the Grade II listed Old Westminster Library, The Cinnamon Club opened in 2001 and has been redefining the expectations of Indian cooking ever since, liberating Indian food from its straightjacket of tradition and crafting a brilliant marriage between Indian spicing and Western culinary styles.
Over a decade later, The Cinnamon Club is still regarded as a landmark London restaurant, offering some of the best Indian food in the Capital.
2012 welcomed Vivek's third restaurant, the more casual modern Indian Cinnamon Soho. A stone's throw from the cobbles of Carnaby Street, Cinnamon Soho focuses on comfort food classics and sharing plates, and the Anglo-Indian menu has set new standards and broken new boundaries. In 2012 Cinnamon Soho won 'Best Menu' at the London Restaurant Festival Awards and the restaurant's famous Bangla Scotch egg was included in 'The 100 Best Small Dishes in London 2012' category by Time Out.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Performs With VP Joe Biden—Watch!
By: Michela Lombardi - Published: April 8, 2016 at 11:32 am
Credits: Instagram/vp
We've now learned that being a vice president of the United States can be more privileging than having political security and a governing influence. So, it was a pure privilege for Vice President Joe Biden to invite his dear friend Lady Gaga on stage and see her perform. Don't believe it? Watch the video of Lady Gaga performing with Joe Biden below and get surprised!
For a fact, we know that the audience was definitely surprised to see pop queen Lady Gaga sharing the stage with the vice president. The unexpected "magic" took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Joe Biden was on his "It's On Us" rally, this past Thursday (April 7).
During his speech at the University of Nevada, Joe Biden surprised all the citizens and students present in the audience by bringing his friend Lady Gaga on stage. Lady Gaga took the stage by playing notes on a piano and sang her Oscar-nominated song "Till It Happens to You." This wasn't the first time Joe Biden invited her on stage as the vice president had introduced Lady Gaga before her Oscar performance at the 88th Academy Awards, held earlier this year. But, people surely loved Lady Gaga's impromptu gig at the "It's On Us" rally.
Joe Biden shared a photo with his friend Lady Gaga and was glad to have her support the cause. Biden wrote his feeling by captioning the photo with "Proud to stand by my friend @ladygaga tonight. Pure courage that inspires, challenges us all. #ItsOnUs. All of us." For those who're unaware, "It's On Us" is a White House initiative to raise awareness of sexual assaults in college environments. It promotes supporting survivors of rape and sexual assault and eradicating the "evil" from all educational campuses. Lady Gaga, a rape survivor herself, joined Joe Biden at the "It's On Us" rally to help bring awareness to sexual assaults. To feel the "It's On Us" message, watch video of Lady Gaga performing "Till It Happens to You" with Joe Biden below.

Weekly Training Tip:
Back to Basics on Assistance Animals
It is important to handle assistance animal accommodation requests properly
According to The Case for Fair Housing: 2017 Fair Housing Trends Report by the National Fair Housing Alliance, nearly 55% of all reported housing discrimination complaints in 2016 involved discrimination against people with disabilities.
This statistic is a reminder of how important it is to handle accommodation requests properly. Let's review some of the basics.
Under the FHA and Section 504, individuals with a disability may be entitled to an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation in housing that places restrictions on or prohibits animals.
Remember, assistance animals include service animals, companion animals, and emotional support animals. They can be dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, or other types of animals.
Some examples of reasonable accommodation requests related to assistance animals are:
Requesting to have an assistance animal in a community or building that doesn't allow pets
Requesting to have a 70 -pound dog in a community doesn't allow dogs over 50 pounds
Requesting to have a pit bull in a community where pit bulls are a restricted breed
Always review and verify the three criteria that must be met
There are three criteria that must be met for a person to be protected by the FHA and Section 504 in regard to assistance animals:
The person must have a disability
The animal must serve a function directly relates to the person's disability
The request to have the animal must be reasonable
Keep in mind that the FHA and Section 504 do not protect individuals who do not have disabilities, and they do not protect situations in which individuals train animals for use by other people. This means, for example, that you would not be required to grant an exception to a no pet policy for a resident who does not have a disability but has a dog that keeps people company at a nearby nursing home on weekends.
Understanding these basic principles of reasonable accommodations for assistance animals under the FHA and Section 504 will help you comply with the law, and will also ensure that everyone feels welcome in your community.

A Different Kind of Dueling Game: 7 Wonders Duel Review
7 Wonders Duel!
As both of my gaming groups and I are all already fans of 7 Wonders, I was excited to get a crack at the still fairly new 7 Wonders Duel. It didn't disappoint.
Overall Feeling
If you're already familiar with 7 Wonders, it's an outstanding game for the way it makes you feel part of competing great civilizations, each with its own wonders and chosen technological path as it moves from one age to the next. In 7 Wonders Duel, designers Antoine Bauza and Bruno Cathela bring all of that to a tight, quick, 2-player duel that you can play a round or 2 of while you're waiting for others to show up for a bigger game like, you know, 7 Wonders. For a quick duel of a game, it's strategic and thematic, basically, everything I could ask for.
Interesting Mechanics
This is where 7 Wonder Duels really shines. It manages to compact everything about the multiplayer game into a duel setup, particularly with the military marker on a line between the two players that you can push forward and backward, forcing penalties upon your opponent as you do.
There's also an interesting play-or-flop mechanic at the heart of the game which gives both players interesting choices nearly every turn. The cards come out into interesting patterns, and almost like a game of solitaire, you have to "unlock" cards by playing the cards in front of them.
Meanwhile, you have your tableau plus great wonders that you build to represent your civilization while you pursue Military and/or Science superiority and accumulate victory points in order to win the game.
They really do a wonderful job of finding components that are fairly cheap and easy, yet have enough feel to lend some theme to the game. The cards are a little smaller and thinner than I would have liked, but the art on them continues to be high quality, adding a lot to the game's overall theme. The small plastic military shield adds a lot on its own. The cardboard wonders and tracks all work pretty well together. This is a game where the components are simple yet hardworking, and the fact that they don't stand out in such a small, compact game is a testament in and of itself.
Seven wonders always pulls off its theme of ancient, grand, distinct civilizations and it's no different in the duel version. The art and components are solid, the game's mechanics work with the game's "seven wonders" theme to create an overall feeling that's hard to beat in a tabletop game, enough realism but still with a fantasy element mixed in.
Do-something-ability
Seven Wonders has always delivered here for me, because if nothing else, you're building one of the seven wonders of the world! Not to mention building either a big military or progressing your science. There are games where you do more building and creating than in this one, but it does deliver in this way enough to want to play again and again.
7 Wonders Duels is a great, great 2-player game, one of the best I've seen and in part, because they set out to make a strictly 2-player game instead of one that could be played by 2, 3 or more players. It's fast, it's fun, it's strategic, it's thematic, and it's totally re-playable. It also leads in nicely to the larger game for when the rest of the group arrives!

Q: Boxplot with Proportional Weights where Summary Stats are Already Defined for Categorical Variable I am trying to make a boxplot where the widths  of the boxes are proportional to their numeric sizes. I already have the summary statistics calculated for the categorical X variable:(n, p5, p25, p50, p75, p95). I have done some research and tried using the "n" variable as a set of weights, as well as using the "varwidth=TRUE" argument in geom_boxplot. Neither of these have worked for me. Is there a way to add proportional widths when you have already calculated the summary statistics of the data? Here is an example of what my code looks like:
src <- c("a", "b", "c")
n <- c(10, 20, 30)
p5 <- c(-10, -20, -15)
p25 <- c(-5, -10, -10)
p50 <- c(5, 0, 5)
p75 <- c(10, 5, 15)
p95 <- c(15, 20, 30)

df <- data.frame(src, n, p5, p25, p50, p75, p95)

MonthsSrc <- ggplot(data=df, aes(x=factor(src), ymin=p5, lower=p25, middle=p50, upper=p75, ymax=p95)) +
  geom_boxplot(stat="identity", fill="white", colour="black", varwidth=TRUE) +
  scale_y_continuous(name="Value(%)", limits=c(-30,30), breaks=c(-30,-15,0,15,30), labels=c(-30,-15,0,15,30)) +
  theme_classic() +
  theme(axis.line.x=element_line(color="black",size=0.5),
        axis.line.y=element_line(color="black",size=0.5))

Thanks for the help!

A: One (hacky) way of doing this would be to use varwidth=T which means that the width is proportional to sqrt(n). We could then use the weight aesthetic to bring it to n with weight=sqrt(n) since sqrt(n)*sqrt(n)=n.
Example with the mpg dataset from ggplot2:
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
mpg%>%
  group_by(manufacturer)%>%
  mutate(n=n())%>%
  ggplot(aes(x=manufacturer,y=displ))+
  geom_boxplot(aes(weight=sqrt(n)),varwidth = T)

There might be a better solution.

ASCLME Research Cruises: The sound of (sound) waves: What is fisheries acoustics?
The sound of (sound) waves: What is fisheries acoustics?
Fisheries acoustics rely on the physics of sound travelling through water to quantify the distribution of biota in the water column. By sending a signal of a given frequency through the water column and recording the time of travel and the strength of the reflected signal, it is possible to determine the size and location of fish and estimate biomass from the acoustic backscatter. The intensity of the returning echo is a measure of the target strength of a given individual at a particular sound frequency. As a fisheries assessment tool, fisheries acoustics technology is an efficient, non-intrusive method of mapping the water column at a very fine spatial and temporal resolution. It provides a practical alternative to bottom and mid-water trawls. However, validation of fish targets is an essential part of interpreting the acoustic signal for any given location. Output from acoustic surveys can be mapped in relation to bottom habitat type, bathymetry, temperature, time of day etc. The ability to census aquatic organisms are more difficult in deep water as many fish species here lack a swimbladder – the major acoustic reflector in most shelf species.
In its most direct form, we could say that fisheries acoustic produces relative information on size distribution of targets, numbers of organisms in the water column, and estimates of biomass, based on the physical properties of sound traveling through water. However, there are many factors that limit the confidence with which this information can be interpreted into accurate measures of absolute numbers of fish, fish lengths and total biomass.
Dr Fridtjof Nansen uses ER-60 echo sounders (with ER-60 software) and LSSS ("Large scale survey system", also called "El-triple-S") for scrutinizing of echoes. The acoustic transducer is attached to an adjustable keel that can be lowered in rough weather to avoid the damping effect of bubbles. Echo intensities per nautical mile are integrated continuously, and mean values per 1 nautical mile are recorded for mapping and further calculations. The echograms, with their corresponding sA-values, are scrutinized every day. Contributions from the seabed, false echoes, and noise are deleted.
The acoustic survey has been carried out by zigzagging between 50 and 500 meters bottom depth around the Islands, as well as along all the transects (north-south, west-east and oblique transects). Four frequencies are being used (18, 38, 120 and 200 kHz). The survey will target firstly plankton, mesopelagic fish and pelagic fish aggregates. Secondly, the dynamics of the migrating scattering layer and the pelagic layer communities will also be studied in more detail using fisheries acoustic and multinet trawling.
The corrected values for integrated echo intensity are allocated to species according to the trace pattern of the echograms and the composition of the trawl catches. Data from pelagic trawl hauls and bottom trawl hauls considered representative for the pelagic component of the stocks, which is measured acoustically, will be included in the stock abundance calculations.
The echo sounders are watched continuously, and trawl hauls in addition to the predetermined hauls are carried out whenever the recordings change their characteristics and/or the need for biological data makes it necessary. Trawling is thus carried out both for identification purposes and to obtain biological observations, i.e., length, weight, maturity stage, stomach data, and age.
So far the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen has undertaken acoustics transects around the 3 Island of the Comoros and Mayotte to determine the distribution and abundance of small pelagic fish shoals. Mid-water trawls have been used on fish aggregations to determine species and size composition. However, very few pelagic shoals have been recorded. Schools of fish have been observed in the surface a couple of times, and we have tried to catch them by rod fishing, but so far with little success. These fish aggregations have not been recorded acoustically either. The reason for this could either be that they are too close to the surface (the echo-sounder can only record fish deeper than 6 m depth, or that the fish swim fast and/or actively avoid the research vessel. Strong scatters of mesopelagic fish have been recorded, but no schools which resemble commercially important species.
The conclusion is that there are very few fish in this area. We keep an eye on the echo-sounder all the time and we will conduct pelagic trawling whenever we see any acoustic signals that are strong enough to suggest higher fish abundance.

Cerebral metabolism in the newborn lamb with polycythemia
T. S. Rosenkrantz, Anthony F Philipps, P. S. Skrzypczak, J. R. Raye
Infants with polycythemia and hyperviscosity are known to have a reduced cerebral blood flow. Eight newborn lambs were studied to determine what effect the reduction in cerebral blood flow might have on the cerebral delivery and uptake of oxygen, glucose, lactate, pyruvate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate. Measurements of cerebral blood flow, hematocrit, blood viscosity as well as delivery and uptake of the forementioned substrates were made during a control period and at 60, 180, and 300min after an exchange transfusion with packed newborn red blood cells was performed to increase the hematocrit. Sixty min after the exchange transfusion, cerebral blood flow fell while cerebral oxygen delivery and uptake were stable. Although arterial glucose concentration remained unchanged, there was a significant fall in cerebral glucose delivery. At 180 min after the exchange transfusion, the arterial glucose concentration fell from 90 to 70 mg/100 ml causing the cerebral glucose delivery to further decrease. This resulted in a significant fall in the cerebral glucose uptake and glucose:oxygen quotient. At 300 min arterial glucose concentration remained low but a rise in cerebral blood flow resulted in a small increase in the cerebral glucose delivery and consequently the cerebral glucose uptake and glucose:oxygen quotient returned to normal. We conclude that polycythemia results in a decrease in cerebral glucose delivery and uptake during normoglycemia.

THEN & NOW: Former "FULL HOUSE" Child Star, Candace Cameron Bure, Shares Her Fitness Story in "Reshaping It All"
You are here:Home-Former Child Stars, THE BUZZ, Then & Now-THEN & NOW: Former "FULL HOUSE" Child Star, Candace Cameron Bure, Shares Her Fitness Story in "Reshaping It All"
It's that time of the new year when resolutions are made to lose weight and become more fit, and former Full House child star, Candace Cameron Bure has written "Reshaping it All," to help motivate us in that regard. However, the svelte star is quick to point out that this is not some new or faddish diet plan, but a recounting of her personal discovery that physical and spiritual fitness go hand in hand.
In the 1980's the Cameron Family was sitcom royalty. Candace starred for 8 seasons on the hit ABC television series Full House, still syndicated in more than 100 countries, while her older brother Kirk Cameron was the star of his own television series, Growing Pains (1985–1992). You may recall that Candace played the pretty, elder sister D.J. of the Tanner clan, spending most of those on-camera years with chubby cheeks and long, golden hair. Of all the child actors on the show, she was the one I believed would be the big break-out star. Below is an excerpt from her book which acknowledges her Hollywood Mom And Dad:
Candace Cameron during her "Full House" years.
In recent years, Candace's healthy lifestyle has been featured in magazines and national talk shows including The View and NBC's Today. In "Reshaping It All," she continues the story, inspiring women to embrace a healthier lifestyle by moving faith to the forefront, making wise choices, and finding their worth in the eyes of God. Candace shares a candid account of her struggle with food, bout with bulimia and ultimately her healthy outlook on weight despite the toothpick-thin expectations of Hollywood.
More than a testimony, her account is a motivational tool that will put readers on the right track and keep them there. In addition to practical advice, Candace offers a biblical perspective on appetite and self control that provides encouragement to women, guiding them toward freedom.
Bure is now a featured cast member of ABC Family's popular gymnastics-based drama, Make It or Break It. She speaks nationwide about her faith-based weight loss success story. Candace lives with her husband, National Hockey League star Valeri Bure, and their three children Natasha, Lev and Maksim, in Los Angeles, California.

Turbalı Sultan Baba in Thessaly (Greece)
A Former Christian Monastery Converted to a Bektashi Tekke
Every 1st of May, in the region of Farsala (Thessaly), pilgrims meet at the shrine of Turbalı Sultan Baba, a Muslim Bektashi saint. Albanian Muslims who immigrated in Greece in the 1990's or 2000's come to pray to him and other Bektashi Dervishes buried in the sanctuary. According to tradition, before to become a Bektashi tekke ("convent"), the building would have been a former Greek Orthodox monastery dedicated to St. George.
Already mentioned in the works by Frederick Hasluck, it seems to be a case study of an "ambiguous space" with contemporary continuities in the Greek context. What is significant nowadays is that Greek Orthodox pilgrims simultaneously join the Bektashis to visit the holy place. Taking place in May, this feast day is also linked to the celebration of the springtime and to "Hederlezı", a popular holiday for Muslims in the Balkans related to Elijah and Hıdr (al-Khidr).
This paper is the result of a fieldwork carried out in 2016. I will present observations, reflexions, photographs and a short movie (7 min and subtitled in English) I made.

Healthcare Inequities in Black and Brown Communities
By Aya Khalil
Local free clinic provides care for the uninsured
According to a new report by early childhood nonprofit ZERO TO THREE, where a baby is born— in Toledo, Ohio or NYC, New York, for example— can have major implications for the rest of his/her life. The data also confirm that Black and Brown babies begin life with disadvantages, regardless of where they are born.
The State of Babies Yearbook: 2020 reveals that systemic racism and social injustices adversely affect communities of color and that major inequities begin before birth, especially for Black children. The comprehensive look that the Yearbook takes concerning how a child's birthplace influences the rest of his/her life includes a deeper look at equity, finding that Black and Brown infants and toddlers are more likely to be poor, to be born too small or too soon, and to live in environments that challenge their families' security.
Myra Jones-Taylor, Chief Policy Officer at ZERO TO THREE, explained in a press release that Black babies are more likely to die before their first birthday than white babies. Furthermore, Black women have a higher maternal mortality rate, dying close to three times as often as white women.
"Black women have a 55 percent higher rate of preterm births than white women," Jones-Taylor explains. "This is an unmitigated crisis that impacts babies and families in every single state in our country, and it has long-lasting impacts throughout our lives. If we want to truly address the issues plaguing Black and Brown communities in the United States, we need to start by identifying disparities, addressing them with specific policies and budgets, and making the potential of every baby a national priority."
Toledo's Halim Clinic
Akram Assaly, an internal medicine physician assistant (PA) at Halim Clinic, a free health clinic in Toledo founded in 2017 to serve uninsured patients in the Toledo area, said some maternal diseases can be prevented and treated. "Preterm births specifically can be caused by diabetes in mothers. Diabetes is one of those diseases that is plaguing the minority community and its ugly effects show up in all facets of life, including childbirth," Assaly said. "With regular screenings, we can catch pre-diabetics before they progress into full-blown diabetics."
Assaly explains that the Halim Clinic offers treatment of diabetes and other preventable diseases, such as hypertension and obesity: "For most patients, it's simply a matter of access to care, which we provide. (The Clinic) was specifically created as an initiative by the Muslim community to spread the message of Islam through actions that benefit the community," he said. "We are relatively well-equipped and funded for a free clinic and have the capability to do minor procedures and dispense some commonly used medications. We have a rotating group of physicians, from various specialties, that provide excellent quality care. Not only that, but we provide continuing care rather than treat and let them go."
Halim Clinic, 6855 Spring Valley Drive, Suite 160, Holland. Saturdays 9AM – 1PM. 567-318-4609. contact@halimclinic.org.

HomeAbsolutely Kosher?
Absolutely Kosher?
Elisha SauersAugust 18, 2006
"Absolutely marvelous news in the world of vodka!" read a press release issued by the Orthodox Union late last month.
In what the group called an "absolutely significant" move, the O.U. announced that six products in the Absolut Vodka line had received kosher certification and that the O.U. symbol soon will be gracing the vodka's iconic bottles.
The announcement comes less than two years after police raided a beer-soaked house party in New Jersey, hosted by an 18-year-old yeshiva student. The O.U. — which is a kosher certifying agency and an umbrella organization for some 1,000 American Orthodox synagogues — launched a major push to crack down on underage drinking in its member congregations. Absolut, a brand of vodka known for its hip, playful magazine ads, has long been accused of targeting underage drinkers.
As part of its anti-alcohol abuse program, the O.U. took special aim at kiddush clubs, the informal groups of young to middle-aged men who will slip out of Saturday morning services for a belt of Scotch and some conversation.
"The Kiddush Club stands for far more than a callous disregard of the sanctity of the Shabbat service," wrote Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, the O.U.'s executive vice president, in an essay on the issue. Weinreb, who is also a clinical psychologist, added, "This practice glorifies and idealizes alcohol at precisely a time when alcohol and other addictions are clearly on the rise in our community."
Like Weinreb, spirits industry watchdogs have long been concerned with images that glamorize alcohol consumption, particularly those that are seen as targeting the underage drinker.
According to a study released in May by Georgetown University's Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, Absolut Vodka is second only to Jack Daniel's among hard liquor producers who advertise in magazines that cater to readers between 12 and 20 years old.
Absolut, which is distilled and bottled in Sweden, has been one of the leading brands of vodka in America since early 1980s, in no small part because of an ad campaign commonly recognized as one of the most clever — and successful — in history.
According to Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, vice president of communications and marketing for the O.U.'s kosher division, certifying Absolut as kosher is not at odds with the O.U.'s efforts toward curbing underage drinking.
"I don't know that Absolut's marketing is toward the younger crowd," Safran told the Forward. "I do know, though, that it's one of the largest alcohol companies in the world, and our mission here at O.U. Kosher is to bring as many products to the community as possible." Safran stressed that while the O.U. is concerned about alcoholism, it is by no means a prohibitionist organization.
"Everything we do is within the context of Judaism, and Judaism is all about moderation," Safran said. "The fact is that Judaism's most important occasions revolve around the b'racha [blessing] over wine. They are consecrated through an alcoholic beverage."

He was 92. Mr. Moon died two weeks after being hospitalized with pneumonia, Ahn Ho-yeul, a spokesman for the Unification Church, his religious movement, told The Associated Press.

Your most beautiful piece of furniture!
Our design has never been so effective. The glossy, deep black chassis emphasizes the white acrylic glass turntable and adapts perfectly to any environment through this timeless appearance, without exaggerating.
For some back in fashion, for the others it never has been away. For us, above all, the possibility to prove our engineering skills. We understand this HiFi device as a precision tool for audiophile music users.
Ultimate technology. For every record.
In the PS-100+, we have used only the best components and materials to ensure perfect sound without any noise. At the same time, the sound remains costumizable to a incredible high degree.On request, we can assemble an Ortofon pickup system 2M Black or Bronze for you.
With the adjustable spike feet we have managed to minimize the ground contact of the PS-100+. Together with damping gums, this ensures absorption of impact sound and other possible vibrations on all relevant parts of the two-ply structure.
The 3 Kg heavy, massive platter runs on a specially developed ceramic precision bearing, which works almost completely wear-free. Record for record. Year for year.
Our 1.5 kg, self-adjusting motor measures itself via an internal stroboscope disk with sensor on the respective drive speed and is only connected by a Teflon drive belt with the turntable. The changeover from 33 to 45 rpm is effected by transferring the belt onto the drive disc.
The counterbalance (65g) for balancing the pickup arm, combined with the static antiskating weight, allows for an customizable sound, which we are very proud of. Find your perfect balance between spatial resolution and a strong foundation by fine-tuning the bearing weight.
With its mechanical lift featuring pneumatic damping and the magnetic pickup arm holder are avoiding accidents in the use of the sensitive needle and your vinyl treasures.
The PS100+ is equipped with a pickup arm ProJect and Block specially developed in cooperation for this chassis. Only 11.5 g, cranked 9.5 '', including 65 g counterweight.
Special feature: The pickup arm is magnetically held in its rest position.
"With the PS-100 block, records can be put in the right light - visually and sonically alike - with a footprint that's otherwise found only on much more expensive drives, and a range of technical refinements, the PS-100 makes a real statement."
"The + Evolution of the Audio Block PS-100 is a real hit: The well-engineered components from European large-scale production turn an elegantly built drive into a really good turntable, which at this price is a tailor-made entry."
Included in the delivery are a high-quality rca connection cable with grounding, a felt mat (slipmat), 45 upm puck, a tool to readjust the tonearm in height and a pair of cotton gloves for a gentler setup!


If you're one of the 1,000+ attendees at this year's CABDA Expo make sure you stop at our booth. This year, we went a little crazy and expanded our booth so we could show Midwesterners our latest displays. We're located at H5/6…right across the aisle from the Concessions (which works out perfectly our sales person who's 7 months pregnant)! Plus, we might even have a few show racks available at the end of the show for purchase so come check us out in between bites of Giordano's Pizza!


Worship of Tools Day is observed on March 11, 2019. Worship of Tools Day is a chance for men to celebrate tools by working with them or buying one. A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process.
We have placed a detailed description of this event on this page: Worship of Tools Day 2020. For further information please stop by there!


I have just stumbled on an amazing fact. eden ahbez, the man who wrote "Nature Boy" a #1 hit for 8 weeks straight for Nat "King" Cole, was also a raw food hippie. This was in 1947!
He is the prototypical hippie. A sort of Jesus figure that lived for a time under the "L" in the Hollywood sign.
He died in 1995 after being hit by a car. His life though is an extraordinary story.

Left Behind: The Movie
Cleveland Ufology Project became a joke: I was struck by the cover of the latest issue ["Unidentified," January 11]. It was a good article in that your views were not listed; just the interviewees' were. You did not pooh-pooh the topic. There are enough off-the-wall people in the UFO field to do that on their own. Sometimes they fail to realize how they must look to Joe average.
I fall into the category of ex-researcher. I was also an attendee at many Cleveland Ufology Project meetings. Like so many others, I've gotten fed up and bored with the petty bickering and fragile egos in the UFO field. At one meeting there was an argument over whether the alien in an alien autopsy film was real or not because the body in the film showed a six-digit hand, and supposedly the Roswell alien had five digits! It doesn't matter whether it had five or six. The point was that they aired this video on nationwide TV, no doubt to have it sink into the public mind. It's one of countless barriers encountered in the field, and it is why others and I have given up.

Child offenders must be treated as children: Children as young as 10 will go to juvenile prison, because some Ohio legislators believe the best way to protect society from criminals is to train more criminals ["Age of Innocence," January 4]. And whose children will this happen to? African American and Latino male youths will be the greatest recipients of this latest insanity.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, there is a national movement to undermine the juvenile justice system, and many lawmakers are overhauling laws to allow more youths to be tried as adults. They are changing the system from a prevention and rehabilitation focus to retribution and punishment. Be very afraid of these elected officials who are using quick-fix solutions on our most precious resource -- our children.
By subjecting children to the adult criminal system, we are taking a major step backward. Why are these elected officials doing this when, according to FBI data, juvenile arrests have declined by 30 percent over the past five years, and in actuality, children are at much greater risk of being victims than the perpetrators of violent crime? Why are these elected officials not looking at legislation to strengthen families, or schools that really educate and inspire ?
Those of us who work with troubled children know that some are just what Jacqueline Marino stated: physically, emotionally, and intellectually underdeveloped victims of physical or sexual abuse and frequently suffering from mental illness. These children must be helped to reach their potential, not destroyed in their infancy. They need a healthy, nourishing, knowledgeable environment in which to bloom. Yet, Ohio's elected officials are spending more and more on corrections and less on prevention efforts. According to ACLU research, crime prevention programs work and are cost effective.
Ask yourself why some elected officials are so determined to forsake troubled youth. Could it be that juvenile crime has become enormously profitable, as the prisons-for-profit business explodes all across the U.S. and Canada? Be very afraid, folks. Please write your elected official and Governor Taft. The bottom line is that a child in trouble, a child in crisis, is still just a child and deserves a chance to be the best that he or she can be.

Coalition to stop SB 179
A businessman shares his morbid fascination: David Martin must have a death wish ["Death's Apprentices," January 18]. When he dies, he wants to be "handled" by a kinder, gentler, more human "undertaker."
First of all, the terms "mortician," "undertaker," etc. are so arcane as to be laughable. As the son and grandson of funeral directors and embalmers, I know how proud my folks were of their "ministries," as David so aptly described it. There are plenty of misconceptions about funeral homes and directors that get big headlines. David's piece was honest and well written, but I sensed a hint of "Man, aren't these people strange?" between the lines.
I grew up in a funeral home and am now the co-proprietor of my family's funeral home (now in our 88th year). I know the big business of the funeral industry is undeniable, but so is the need for compassionate and caring funeral directors. Our business is based not on how many funerals we do, but on how we serve families' needs in a time of sorrow. Any psychologist will agree that funerals (whether burials or cremations) are for the living, and expressions of grief at the death of a loved one should not be trivialized.

My two cents worth is.....try Deluge Natalia, as others have commented, it's way better than Transmission.
Exactly what happened to me pepperminty.
Just wanted to say, just upgraded from 19 to 19.1, took approx. 9 minutes and everything runs perfectly.
A great big thanks to the team!!!
Hi there, I am sure this has been asked before but I can't find an answer.
I want to record game-play on my PC but I cannot find any info for doing this on Linux Mint 19, Cinnamon.
Thank you gm10, the first code worked!
I guess I have lost the files that were on my desktop before this happened.
Do you know what may have caused this in the first place?
Hi there kevingrant, I run Linux Mint 19, I downloaded the tar.xz from their website and installed it, it runs perfectly. There was no tweaking involved.
I believe it was created by one of the crew here but I am sorry I don't know which member did it . My apologies for not mentioning his name.
Thank you OunceofCommonSense and Pierre.
Pierre, what do you mean by 'a fair bit of time', is that 15 minutes, 1 hour...is there some kind of indication that the process is completed?

Designing Lawsourcing for E-Democracy in the United States
Glenn Papp, Niagara University
Petter Lovaas, Niagara University
This research examines the history of E-Democracy initiatives, instantiations, and findings via extant literature with the aim of leveraging this knowledge in the planning, design, development, and evaluation of a lawsourcing platform (Orozco 2016). The research purpose is to enable U.S. citizens to: (1) directly propose new bills for consideration by the U.S. Congress, either individually or collectively, and (2) give detailed and immediate feedback on pending and existing legislation by recommending unlimited additions, subtractions, or substitutions in text and by up or down voting entire initiatives. Related works show correlations between well-implemented government E-Services and improvement of internal relations of public administrations, relationships between administrations and citizens, and relationships between administration and the private sector (Alcaide-Muñoz et al. 2015; Tassabehji et al. 2007). Concurrently, U.S. citizens are seeing radical and expedient advances in private-sector information and communication technology (ICT) while the public sector remains technologically reactive, perceived as highly unfavorable by U.S. citizens, and less responsive to public sentiment in recent decades (Orozco 2016). Through a structured literature review, we attempt to define the relevant concepts, explore applicable theories, and discuss them in terms of design science research (DSR) frameworks (Hevner et al. 2004; Peffers et al. 2008). Initial findings from this research-in-progress will be presented for this TREO talk and encourage discussion concerning E-Government and related theories, past and existing E-Democracy initiatives, and DSR methodology.

Ashleigh Hults' Guide to Montauk, NY
When does she sleep?
That's the question that comes to mind whenever I think of Ashleigh Hults. Between her day job as Public Relations Director at ever-growing fitness brand Bandier and running her (also ever-growing) seasonal pop-up shop Poolside Collective at the Montauk Beach Hotel, Hults is one busy kitty. Which is extra impressive because she's also super good at the fun stuff, too: Meeting up for lunch and yoga and impromptu drinks at the beach.
"Montauk feels like home," Hults says of her favorite weekend escape. "I grew up on Long Island always visited Montauk. The beaches are beautiful and the environment feels like it's been charged with a special energy. I love waking up, smelling the air, jumping in the ocean, and watching the sunset."
Her connection to that particular blend of relaxed-meets-charged energy is what lead Hults to open Poolside in the summer of 2015. "I saw an opportunity in Montauk to create something that didn't exist," Hults explains. "I have always wanted to have my own store and there is major demand for our curation, which appeals to the NYC fashion girl, through the lens of Montauk beach lifestyle."
Appeal it does. Visit Poolside on any summer weekend and you'll find it mobbed with bikini-clad babes stocking up on striped tank dresses by Cienne, wide-leg jumpsuits by Morgan Carper, vintage 501 cut-offs from Dusty Rose, and browning lotions by Maui Babe. "The momentum has allowed us to move into designing our own private label. I am very excited about my bag line Poolside Bags which launched earlier this summer."
Here, Hults shares her favorite places to eat, stay, swim, and play in Montauk all year long. Because despite Hults' obvious love for Salty Hair/Coconut Oil/Hot Sun/Big Waves, she loves the place in the off-season just as much. "The crowds leave and the energy and pace stabilizes, allowing you to really connect more deeply with yourself and with your environment. It's what life is all about."
There are so many cool, vintage, vibe-y hotels in Montauk. I always recommend Crow's Nest or The Montauk Beach House if you want to stay somewhere that's in the mix but still nice and quiet at night. If you want to party, stay at The Surf Lodge so you don't have to wait on lines. My tip for renting a house is to plan head — everything is booked through September!
Right now, I love going to the beach at Atlantic Terrace. You're on the ocean, but you're away from the crowds. Everything you need is right there.
Share With has the perfect sundresses, rompers, and tunics. It feels a lot like what you'd see in St. Bart's. I also love Mellet Mercantile, which is located at Crow's Nest. My favorite gallery is Outeast Gallery. Atlantic Terrace also has a cute gallery space where they feature emerging artists.
I do Tracy Anderson and New York Pilates. Both have pop-ups in Montauk for the summer. It's very convenient and I don't need to change my workout routine at all, since I do TA and NYP in the city as well. I also do yoga at Love and be active outdoors — running, swimming, paddle boarding, anything!
For breakfast, I love Naturally Good. I either get their egg sandwich (scrambled egg whites with cheese and avocado on a toasted english muffin with hot sauce), an apple with almond butter, or The Costa Rican. I always get a large iced coffee and I put unsweetened coconut milk in it.
Joni's has delicious healthy food. My go-to there is scrambled egg whites, avocado, caramalized onions, and goat cheese in a gluten-free wrap with hot sauce.
Atlantic Terrace is a hotel on the beach. The beach is never too crowded and their cafe is a really special spot. I love the Cali Kook wrap, which comes with macaroni salad and the whole thing just feels like summer. You eat on the beach and you're in heaven.
This may sound silly, but to me, nothing beats a deli sandwich in the summer. I love stopping at Herb's Cafe to pick up sandwiches, fruit, potato salad, drinks, whatever... then hauling it all down to the beach picnic-style.
For dinner, Crow's Nest is so beautiful and the food is great. The best is when it's the height of summer and it's hot out at night — you can get a drink at the beach bar at sunset and eat outside at one of the big tables. I also live for the miso soup at Salivars. Or, if you feel like a burger, go to The Dock. They also make homemade jalepeno poppers and their carrot cake is mind blowing.
For ice cream, John's Drive-In (the real stuff) or Buddha Berry (vegan dark chocolate fro-yo).

The Mercer Museum kicks off the holiday season with its second annual holiday exhibit, �Under the Tree: A Century of Holiday Trees and Toys.� Under the Tree captures the excitement of Christmas from a child�s point of view and features trees decorated to the tastes of earlier eras, and toys and games that delighted children on Christmas mornings� past.
The exhibit, which will run from Saturday through Jan. 13 will feature trees decorated with period ornaments and quality reproductions that show the evolution of this Christmas tradition from the 1860�s through the 1960s. The display draws from major private collections, and includes some of the most popular playthings of the Victorian Era through the post-World War II period. Toys on display include Disney and other character toys, tin, cast iron and diecast metal vehicles, various tin wind-ups and banks, circus toys, board games, baby boomer toys, educational playthings, puzzles and more. Under the Tree is included with museum admission.
In conjunction with Under the Tree exhibit, the Mercer will hold a Victorian ornament making workshop on Tuesday, Dec. 4 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Participants will learn to make typical ornaments of the late Victorian Era using paper, fabric, confections, and die cut paper scraps. The workshop is $15 per person and $12 for youth. On Wednesday, Dec. 12, folklorist, Darcy Fair, will discuss the origins and history of some of the most popular holiday carols. Participants are encouraged to share their own holiday traditions, stories and memories. The program is $12 per person. To register for either of these holiday events, call 215-348-9461.

Loved watching the short video, in addition to reading your informative (and mouth-watering) descriptions. I would have a hard time choosing which items to sample – I'm sure I would want them all :p Hopefully they find a way to pollinate those cacao plants, Hungarian tree-to-bar chocolate would be AWESOME!
I'm glad you enjoyed reading (and salivating :D) and hopefully you'll be able to taste some too 😉 Yes, I also really wish they succeed with pollinating their trees, so cool, isn't it?
