BluDawg Brisket
The BluDawg technique is a variation on the "hot and fast" method of smoking brisket. The meat is seasoned with salt and pepper, smoked at about 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours, then wrapped in butcher paper and returned to the heat for another hour.
What Is BluDawg Brisket?
When I first heard this unusual term, I assumed that it referred to a brand name. The truth is, "BluDawg" is the username of a frequent contributor to message boards such as BBQ Brethren.
This individual uses a "hot and fast" method for smoking brisket, which has yielded satisfactory results. When they shared their tips with the barbecue community, the technique became increasingly popular.
How It Differs
As longtime readers will know, we advocate smoking brisket at a low temperature. 225 degrees Fahrenheit is our go-to recommendation, but we've experimented with slight variations from time to time.
Brisket is a tough muscle that gets a lot of exercise during the steer's life. As a result, the meat is characterized by a lot of connective tissue and fat. When it's not cooked correctly, brisket can be tough, stringy, or dry.
At 225 degrees, a brisket should cook at the rate of 1.5 to 2 hours per pound, give or take. Since whole packer briskets often weigh 12-14 pounds, that translates to a huge time commitment.
By ramping up the temperature, you can cut way down on the cooking time. That's the basic principle behind the BluDawg method.
You might also see the BluDawg technique referred to as "K.I.S.S.-style" brisket. K.I.S.S. stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Since the recipe calls for so few ingredients and requires little effort, it's easy to see how this acronym comes into play.
But won't it harm the finished product to rush things along this way? Not necessarily—as long as you adhere to a couple of simple guidelines. By following the instructions we've outlined below, your results should be as impressive as Bludawg's.
How To Make BluDawg Brisket
To make BluDawg's brisket, all you need are a few basic ingredients. For best results, use oak for the smoking wood with a hearty dose of mesquite mixed in.
Try to find a whole brisket that weighs around 12 to 15 pounds. You can use the technique if you're smoking the flat or the point alone, but it works best with a whole packer.
Once you've procured the brisket, trim the fat cap down to 1/4 inch. If there's any hard fat left on either side of the flat, go ahead and remove it now. It won't add anything to the brisket, and it will be rubbery and difficult to chew once it's cooked.
Your next step is to mix the seasoning rub. BluDawg uses the simple Texas blend of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (see About Dalmatian Rub, below). Use a medium grind for the pepper, and follow a formula of 1 part salt to 4 parts pepper. By weight, this blend should be roughly 50/50.
Pat the trimmed brisket dry with paper towels and apply a thin coating of the seasoning rub. You want to season the brisket thoroughly, but you should still be able to see the meat through the layer of salt and pepper.
Preheat the smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. When the unit has reached the designated temperature, set the brisket on the cooking grate. Make sure the fat cap is facing the heat source so it will provide a protective barrier between the heat and the lean meat of the flat.
Smoke the brisket for about 4 hours. Keep an eye on the smoker temperature to ensure that it holds steady between 275 and 325 degrees.
After 4 hours, remove the meat from the smoker. Wrap it in a single layer of butcher paper before returning it to the heat. Let it cook for 1 hour longer.
Insert a thermometer probe into the thickest portion of the brisket flat. It should slide in and out easily. If it meets with too much resistance, let the meat cook until it's "probe tender." (see below). This should happen within another hour.
When the brisket is probe tender, take it out of the smoker. Keep it wrapped in the butcher paper and allow it to rest on the counter until the internal temperature drops to about 150 degrees, about 2 hours.
About Dalmatian Rub
"Dalmatian rub" is just kosher salt and black pepper mixed together. Because the blend is black and white, it's said to resemble a Dalmatian's coat.
In our usual recipe, we use equal measurements of kosher salt and black pepper for our Dalmatian rub. Since the BluDawg recipe advocates a higher quantity of black pepper, we've included that in these instructions.
If that sounds like too much black pepper to you, feel free to adjust the quantity to taste. Since the technique calls for just a light coating of seasoning rub, though, it shouldn't be too overpowering.
What Does "Probe Tender" Mean?
A brisket is considered "probe tender" when the thermometer probe slides in and out as easily as if you'd inserted it into a stick of butter. If you meet with any drag, then the brisket isn't ready to come off the heat.
We consider brisket to be done when the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the most reliable way to test for doneness. You can remove it from the heat when it's probe tender if you prefer, but the temperature might not be exact.
The best place to test the brisket temperature is in the thickest part of the flat. Inserting it into a thinner portion might lead to a false reading, since the meat will cook through more quickly in these areas.
Similarly, you don't want to insert the probe into the point end of the brisket. There's more intramuscular fat in this segment, and fat has different thermal properties. If the thermometer hits a pocket of fat, you won't get an accurate readout.
Carving Tips
When the brisket has cooled to 150 degrees, it's time to start slicing. Don't be tempted to cut into the meat too soon, or you'll lose a lot of moisture.
The resting period is a critical step in the proceedings. When meat is exposed to heat, its juices are forced toward the surface. As the brisket rests, those juices will be reabsorbed back into the center, so the meat will be nice and juicy.
While we're on the subject, try not to carve any more than you're planning to eat right away. The flat end of the brisket will retain its moisture better if you leave it intact.
A Word About The Point
On the other hand, the point meat is difficult to carve because the grain runs in several different directions. Instead of slicing the point, you should shred the meat as if you were making pulled pork. The shredded beef will make an excellent sandwich or taco filling.
It's harder to shred meat once it cools, so be sure to perform this task before you refrigerate the leftover brisket. Save any leftover juices and refrigerate them separately so you can use them to re-hydrate the sliced or shredded meat as needed.
The BluDawg method is more of a technique than a formal recipe, but it's easy enough to follow. If you're tempted to try smoking a whole packer brisket but are daunted by the amount of time involved, you might want to give it a try.

Creating a beautiful and fully functional interior design takes time and careful planning. It's a lot more to it than just choosing furniture or colors and patterns. Your design is an extension of your personality so you want it to be creative and fun. However, it also needs to be comfortable for you and everyone else in the household.
When designing commercial property, your interior design will help to support your brand and create a positive impression on your visitors. You can accomplish these goals when you follow the elements and principles associated with interior design.
Creating balance is one of the most basic but important elements of interior design because it promotes a calm feeling and relaxation. Your interior space will look and feel put together, well organized and inviting. Without balance, your home or business will appear chaotic and uninviting, so having visual balance is essential.
There are three different ways to create balance using patterns, colors, textures and shapes, each of which are discussed below.
If you're looking for a calm and stable design, use symmetrical balance. You do need to be creative with your design to avoid becoming monotonous but when done correctly it can look gorgeous. To create symmetry or symmetrical balance, you need to create an imaginary line with identical or similar items on each side.
When you place identical chairs on each side of a table or use matching nightstands on each side of your bed, you're creating symmetry. The table or bed is the divider and the chairs or nightstands mirror each other. You can also create symmetry by using like patterns, wall art, lamps or most any other type of object you choose.
When searching for a dramatic way to achieve balance, the asymmetrical design may be for you. It's similar to the symmetrical design because it uses an imaginary line to divide sides. However, instead of each side mirroring each other, this design uses various objects of equal weight and different shapes and sizes to create a visual balance.
It's also important to note that complex objects usually appear heavier than simple ones, so they're often used to create asymmetrical balance in interior design. However, all types of objects work together to create balance. This design is more difficult to achieve than symmetrical balance so it requires a good eye for detail and interior design experience. Here at J. Design Group, our interior designers and decorators can help you create the perfect asymmetrical design for your home or commercial property.
You create radial balance when you have a center focal point with other objects radiating from the center outward to create a circular pattern. A round dining room table and chairs with a circular chandelier overhead is a great example of this design. A circular or half circle staircase, room or hallway and using circular-shaped wall art are all examples of ways to create radial balance in interior design.
Contact us for all of your residential or business interior design projects. Our experts can help you choose the best way to add balance to your design based on your specific needs.

Q: Github actions upload-artifact do not compress zip file I currently have an issue where a file uploaded by github actions upload-artifact cannot be used as-is because of it's zip compression that is applied when downloading it. The problem is not that it is zipped, but that the zip file is compressed. The zip file works perfectly fine in later stages, if the files are repacked with zip -0.
The documentation suggests:

When you click to download an artifact from the summary page, a compressed zip is created with all the contents of the artifact and the size of the zip that you download may differ significantly from the displayed size.

As I understand, the files are saved individually and packed dynamically when downloaded.
Of course it would be an option to download the artifact, unzip it and repack it without compression, but is it somehow possible to force github to not compress a zip file but instead just pack it, similar to zip -0?

A not-so-short story about a not-so-short race
So, here we were, fully donned in GB colours, pockets fully stuffed: gels, inners and all the non essential stuff in my essentials case, penned in and not quite so raring to go. This was the UCI World Cycling Tour Final- a 160km road race through the rolling Danish countryside.
We had a plan, my three Dulwich Paragon team mates and I. We had qualified working together at the Tour of Cambridgeshire, and we were going to race together today. We openly knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, we knew who would need to be called upon when the going got tough. We knew who would do the feeding reminders, who was best on the hills, but most importantly we knew who was scared.
(All of us).
What we didn't really know, was the truth of what would lie ahead. Our qualifying race was 30km less than the finals. So that's a 100 mile race, on roads we didn't know, in a mass start pen. We knew we would have to go quick. We had only just scraped into qualification, and it was painstakingly obvious from the tanned and lean women that surrounded us (carrying none of the stuff that I was carrying, and some, nothing at all) that these girls were going to be quick.
Boxed in by USA, Italy, Sweden and Russia the count down came and we rolled across the start line, gears clunking into position and timing chips beeping across the matting. The commissares car rolled in front with the red flag poking out of the sunroof. We had a few kilometres of neutralised racing to get us safely out through the city. This was an incredible feeling. Even though I felt slightly out of my depth, it was an incredible moment to be amongst this vibrant peloton, surrounded by nearly 150 women, the colours merging and blending as we rolled through the sun flooded streets of Aalborg.
A few nerves and heavy brakes around tight chicanes resulted in the peloton ricocheting on more than one occasion, and the shouts and gestures soon calmed down as the pack got down to business in the widening lanes.
The pace picked up rapidly. Not great on cold legs and lungs. It usually takes me around 30km to even feel warmed up, so this was a real test. A breakaway formed and as our four talked to each other, we quickly realised that we were out of the running. Unless a crash happened in that breakaway, we would always be the chasing group. Mentally, that's quite tough. What were we now racing for? I'm not sure I can answer that question.
We started to work together with the group around us: riders from South Africa, Dubai, Australia, New Zealand and slightly closer to home, London. I was proud to be with my three Dulwich girls, as we each talked to other riders with ease and started to form a good working chain.
The race rolled on, and the test of the road soon became apparent as the almost constant and ridiculously strong headwind battered our peloton. Hills spilt the group, and the less stronger climbers soon lagged back. At first, the peloton was sensitive to the riders dropping off the back, and were waiting, regrouping, and working again. All good things must come to an end however. The strength of the peloton soon took flight and the majority of the group stuck together on the climbs. One of our team was struggling with these short and sharp climbs. Usually strong, determined and able, having more than proved herself over the gruelling Marmotte earlier in the season, a fractured shoulder had scuppered Libby's summer training.
My priority shifted to looking after her. I would drop back on the hills and give her my wheel to pull her up, while the other two Dulwich girls Sara and Jo attempted to get on the front of the peloton to slow it down. I'm not sure that my wheel offered all that much, I'm not exactly much of a wind block, but the mental element of having someone to pace you up a hill is invaluable.
At one stage I thought we had lost the group. We hit the most cruel road: a steady, long incline that seemed to stretch out for days ahead of us. Exposed and windswept it was exhausting without anyone to hide behind. All I knew was that I had to get us back in that group. We were still a long way from home. I kept talking to her, between my gasps for breath, and glanced behind on every other pedal stroke to check that she was still glued to the back of my bike. She was there. She wouldn't give up. I knew her well and she knew me. Solid foundations of incredible teamwork.
The push over the brow of that punishing hill didn't mean that we were done. We couldn't sit up. The group were descending and we had to catch them. We were straight into the drops, and we pushed on with legs spinning like mad to ease the stiffness. I'm not quite sure how we did it but we made it. I was exhausted and rode straight onto one of my other teammates wheels and reached for my bidon.
The South African rider had also had a tow up the hill, and was incredibly grateful. "You're amazing" she expressed. A nod between us all and a smile made the suffering worth it, but I knew I was getting pretty depleted with a long way to go. We were only around 85km in, and we were very aware of the distance and elevation that lay ahead, the Garmin screen like a ball and chain showing me how far I had to go, not how far I had come.
I took to the front of the group quickly and sat up, fiddling with my shoe, slowing the pace right off. We had done the brawn, now it was time for the brains. The group sat up, and the pace slowed, riders happy to stay quiet and enjoy the shelter from the perpetual head wind. This couldn't last forever though, and the pace slowly picked up again, and as in all good cycling stories, there is always another hill. In this case, it was several. It all became too much for Libby, and executive decisions were made. I would stay back with her and the other two would try and work up a few finishers places. Teamwork means that your riders who finish ahead of you are doing it for everyone, not just themselves.
It's a valuable lesson to learn, and one of which made me incredibly proud of those girls on that day. A hand on Libby's back, a rant about lost fitness, frustration and a few tears later, we got down to the dirty work of getting two sets of tired legs home.
The silver lining of this decision was that it gave us the chance to look up. The first chance in four hours to see something that wasn't my stem. A chance to see that the sky was bluebird and the fields were vibrant green. A chance I'm not sure Froomy gets.
Hour five ticked over on the clock and with no stops and 20km left to go, my back was in agony having sat on the drops most of the way around, and the tears and ranting switched to my saddle. I sat on Libby's wheel, and with her instructing me to breath and to stop swearing at hills: it was a monumental effort to keep the pedals turning. The broom wagon overtook us, and the marshals were packing up on every corner we went past. It was excruciating, both the pain and the mental effort. I was happy to kick in the can at 10km from home. Denied this luxury, and instructed to crack on, memories of Libby giving me a solid kick 6 miles out of finishing the London marathon came creeping back in. I knew I could do it, but at that stage I simply did not want to.
Three kids appeared at the side of the road with their hands extended to get high fives as we rolled past. This was it. That was all we needed. An energy boost from a six year old blonde kid. As we made our way to the finish line, we were incredibly pleased to see the group of Dulwich blue at the side of the road, many of them having just been through what we did, cheering us on, as we rolled down the cobbles and under the still erected (but only just) finish line, an arm on each other's backs and libby shouting at me "just don't fall off!".
It can be easy to forget that when you come in close to last, after such a challenging day that what we actually achieved was pretty impressive and something to be proud of. It's not everyday you can say you had an average speed of 28km / hour for just under 6hrs, and my appetite for racing has only increased as a result of it- I just might pick a few shorter races next time…
So, we did it. Friendship and teamwork won on that day. Riding a bike is so much more than, well, just riding a bike. Hopefully the not-so-short race story makes a bit of sense of that.

Hui Neighborhoods "Sinicized," Spreading Fear Among Residents
08/10/2019 Ma Xiagu
Buildings in traditional Islamic style and any signs with relevance to Muslim faith are disappearing from areas inhabited by China's Hui Muslims.
by Ma Xiagu
A public square loses all Islamic characteristics
Dongguan village, located in Longnan city in the northwestern province of Gansu, is inhabited predominantly by Hui Muslims. The village's Dongguan Muslim Square is a popular place for residents to relax.
A dome-shaped building in Dongguan Muslim Square has been converted into Chinese-style pavilion.
Last October, Islamic-style buildings in the middle of the square were dismantled under orders by the government. Anything bearing Islamic symbols – including the signs in Arabic in the middle of the square and Islamic religious rules engraved on the perimeter wall – have been removed in the period of three days.
The word "Muslim" has been removed from the name of the square, leaving only Dongguan Square.
The name has been changed to Dongguan Square, and two Islamic-style buildings in the square have been "sinicized," changing their appearance to Chinese-style pavilions. Islamic religious tenets that were originally displayed on the perimeter wall have been replaced with communist propaganda.
The dome-shaped buildings in Dongguan Muslim Square now look like Chinese-style pavilions:
"After seeing the square transformed, I couldn't sleep for two nights. I'm scared thinking about what will happen to us Hui people in the future," a villager commented on the makeover of the square.
Communist propaganda has replaced the Islamic tenets on the perimeter wall of Dongguan Muslim Square.
On Minzu Road in Xifeng district of Gansu's Qingyang city, numerous signboards in Arabic and ethnic Hui characteristics used to be displayed on the part of the road called Halal Food Street. They recently have been replaced with signs written uniformly in Chinese characters against a green background.
Signboards bearing ethnic Hui characteristics have been uniformly replaced with signboards written in Chinese characters against a green background on Halal Food Street in Qingyang city
"Officials from the city's United Front Work Department, Civil Affairs Bureau, and Religious Affairs Bureau, as well as Xijie Subdistrict Office came to the neighborhood to tell us that the local government is focusing on this street. Government officials brought people to replace the signs quickly," said a shop assistant. "The Communist Party fears that if there are more of us who believe in Islam, we won't obey the Communist Party and will subvert the state."
A Hui street located in the Yuanjia village tourist attraction of Xianyang city, in the northwestern province of Shaanxi, also ran into misfortune. A subdistrict management official told Bitter Winter that apart from demanding the removal of Arabic lettering and religious symbols at the main entrance to the street, even shopping bags for customers are not allowed to bear the Arabic words for "halal."
Hui people live in an atmosphere of intense fear
Last September, Islamic symbols were forcibly removed from the entrance to a mosque in Huating county, under the jurisdiction of Gansu's Pingliang city. In the eyes of Hui residents, the removal of symbols means even more disastrous times ahead. "Looking at the current trend, perhaps the CCP will tear down all of the Hui people's mosques in the future," a local Muslim expressed a general feeling of residents in the area.
The entrance to a mosque in Huating county before and after its Islamic symbols were dismantled.
In July last year, the local government raised the national flag at the mosque; and before prayers, CCP's policies are promoted. The Arabic language for worshiping is forbidden; everyone must pray in Chinese.
Some residents of Pingliang expressed to Bitter Winter their worries that the restrictions on and persecution of Muslims in Xinjiang, such as the requirement for women to remove their headscarves or prohibitions on fasting during Ramada, may soon be implemented in Gansu. One of the interviewed persons mentioned that he had heard stories from Xinjiang of mineral water and sunflower seeds or other snacks placed at the entrance to work units for Hui workers to consume during the periods of fasting. Those who don't are punished.
Another resident added that every Hui household in Xinjiang is subjected to surveillance by personnel from of fanghuijug – an acronym for Visit the People, Benefit the People, and Get Together the Hearts of the People – government-established teams that visit the homes of the Muslim population of Xinjiang to gather data on them. "They say that this is 'eating together, residing together, and living together with the Hui people.' In reality, they're monitoring everything that Hui people say and do," the man said, referring to the so-called "stay-home" program implemented in Xinjiang.
Islam-related shop names replaced
Ethnic Hui residents in the northeastern province of Jilin are facing a hard time, too. Among the imposed restrictions is the requirement to change the names of the shops that they operate.
"Islamic Hot Pot City" is an old restaurant, opened more than 20 years ago in Yanji city. In March, the local government demanded to remove the three Chinese characters for "Islamic," and the restaurant is now called "Huihuiying Hot Pot City."
The restaurant "Islamic Hot Pot City" has been ordered to be changed to "Huihuiying Hot Pot City."
A signboard "Islamic [Yīsīlán] Dream Wedding Dresses and Photography" in Jilin city's Chuanying district was replaced with "Yīlán Dream Wedding Dresses and Photography" by removing the second character of the Chinese word for "Islam."
"Islamic Dream Wedding Dresses and Photography" has become "Yīlán Dream Wedding Dresses and Photography" after the government's intervention.
For the same reason, "Muslim [Mùsīlín] Barbecue" in Changchun city was changed to "Sīlín Barbecue," removing the first character in the Chinese word for "Muslim." Soon after, the two Chinese characters Sīlín were also prohibited. In the end, the owner had no choice but to change the signboard to read "Large Pieces of Meat Barbecue."
"Muslim Barbecue" has been renamed to "Large Pieces of Meat Barbecue."
A shop owner told Bitter Winter that the government prohibited him from having words like "Muslim," "Islamic," and "halal" in the name of his shop. "Islamabad [Yīsīlánbǎo] Restaurant" in Jilin city has been changed to Yīxiānglánbǎo because the government doesn't allow names that bear particularly strong ethnic connotations.

Q: How to remove html tags of data exported to excel on ASP.NET? I am trying to export a table to excel but I get the data like this:
1
2

Because I am printing the data just like that:
cell = new HtmlTableCell();
cell.InnerHtml = "" + rsCont.Rows[i]["PENDING"].ToString() + "";

So how can I get just the numbers on excel? In this example 1 and 2.
I am printing the data like this but this just remove the "" at the end of each row:
        foreach (HtmlTableCell celda in fila.Cells)
        {
            if (celda.InnerHtml.IndexOf("") > 0)
            {
                cell = row.Cells.Add(celda.InnerHtml.Remove(celda.InnerHtml.IndexOf("")));
            }
            else
            {
                cell = row.Cells.Add(celda.InnerHtml);
            }
        }

Sibling Reveille
Robb Mitchell and Todd Mitchell share both DNA and a call to duty
Identical twins Robb (center) and Todd (right) Mitchell have pursed parallel military careers. "We've been in a lot of the same places, but not necessarily at the same time," Todd says. (Image courtesy Robb Mitchell)
Cindy Kuzma
Soldiers often head into military service as strangers and return bonded like siblings. Then there's Col. Robb Mitchell '94 LAS, MS '05 UIC, and Col. Todd Mitchell, '95 LAS, who are identical twins on what Robb calls "parallel but separate paths" through lifelong military careers.
The Mitchells grew up on a farm in Mason City, Ill., then moved to Springfield at age 11. Both joined the National Guard in high school, following their father, who had served in the Army Reserves.
When Robb started at Illinois, Todd, seeking to differentiate himself, headed to Southern Illinois University–Carbondale. However, their separation was short-lived. Though it wasn't planned, they ended up leaping out of the same plane at the U.S. Army Airborne School at Fort Benning in 1991. Two years later, Todd transferred to join Robb at Illinois.
Post-graduation, both entered active duty as field artillery officers. "We've been in a lot of the same places, but not necessarily at the same time," Todd says. Robb first went to South Korea, then did a long tour in Germany. Todd went to South Korea after Robb returned, then after 9/11, preceded his brother to Iraq, then Afghanistan.
Robb joined him at the Pentagon, helping the Army develop next-generation equipment. His background—he earned a master's in American history from UIC—gives him context to strategize for the future. Todd, meanwhile, just moved to Germany as director of the Army's 1st Human Resources Sustainment Center.
Time and distance haven't weakened their bond; the they still talk and email often. "We have goals in life," Todd says. "You can see the mirror image of yourself."

Prairie Profiles: Making 'a good change'

Glenville-Emmons' new teacher prepares for third grade
Like her students, this will be one Glenville-Emmons Elementary School teacher's first day of third grade in the district.
Teacher Tiffany Wilkie taught kindergarten in Chatfield for six years before making the move.
"I loved kindergarten, but I thought it would be just a good change," Wilkie said.
She said she is looking forward to working with third-graders, who have a higher level of independence.
"They have more insight in some of the topics," she said.
Teacher Tiffany Wilkie has STEAM boxes for students to experiment with building objects during the school year. Sarah Kocher/Albert Lea Tribune
As the year starts, Wilkie will be incorporating STEAM — science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics — into her classroom and curriculum. The first week of school will include engineering activities designed around the theme "Save Fred." Fred is a gummy worm.
Wilke said she became a teacher because she has always loved children. It was between teaching and nursing.
"I've always enjoyed helping people," Wilkie said.
She received her bachelor's degree in elementary education with an emphasis in middle-level mathematics at Winona State University, following up with a master's in education with an emphasis in special populations from Augustana University.
In addition to helping children learn, Wilkie said she is there to create a warm environment for her students. Her goal for the year is to have her students build positive relationships with each other.
"In my classroom, we are a school family that supports one another and helps everyone succeed," she said.
When she is not teaching, Wilkie said she loves the outdoors. She likes to camp, fish, read, play tennis and spend time with family and friends.
Wilkie is the only new teacher this year in the Glenville-Emmons district. Principal Jeff Tietje said she has already shown the experience she brings with her to the school by jumping in and familiarizing herself with the curriculum.
"She's doing the proper work now to make sure the school year is successful," he said.
Glenville-Emmons Elementary School starts Sept. 5.
Tiffany Wilkie
Address: Owatonna
Livelihood: Third-grade teacher at Glenville-Emmons Elementary School
Interesting fact: Wilkie was a tennis coach through Parks and Recreation for children ages 4 through high school.

Zoo Review: The Real Mee – Part 2
Posted by Greg on March 18, 2013 at 6:52 pm
Milo and Ella Mee
We thought it would be fun to look back on We Bought A Zoo through the eyes of Benjamin Mee. Ben took the time to provide some detailed and thoughtful answers on how the film came together from his perspective. Here's Part 2:
I'm sure you don't have a ton of time to watch films, but do you get a chance to take your children Milo and Ella to the theaters from time to time? If so, what are your favorite films or favorite type of films?
I've always loved films, and my trajectory through life was shaped by a few, like Born Free, with Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. Here were normal people, like me, who drove around in a Land Rover with a lion on the roof. That looked like a great job, though I wasn't completely sure what it was they actually did. Years later I bought an old Land Rover (now parked up at the zoo needing a bit of attention). And I do, astonishingly, actually have a lion. Two, in fact. Solomon immortalized in WBAZ, and Josie, his business-like killing machine of a daughter. But I can't drive around with them on the roof of the Land Rover, partly because it doesn't work at the moment, and partly because they would eat me.
Ring of Bright Water, about a writer who has a pet otter was another film which influenced me greatly as a child, and because of the power of these films over me I make sure that as a family we soak ourselves in films, watching DVDs most evenings.
The first film I took Milo to see was Finding Nemo, while we were living in France. That genre of incredibly high quality animated features seems like the biggest development in my lifetime. Dumbo and Bambi were amazing, but The Incredibles is as good as any – and better than some – James Bond films. Shrek, Toy Story, Ice Age, Monsters, Inc, Kung Fu Panda, Rango, How to Train Your Dragon; all great films in their own right. And the castings are becoming unreal. Robert De Niro as the voice of a shark?
I also throw in films I feel the children need to see as part of their "education," lest they be lost. We watched Braveheart recently before a trip up to Edinburgh Zoo to see the pandas, to explain why the Scots are still wary of the English. They decided to use their mothers' solidly Scottish maiden name of Carnegie for the trip. For some reason I have recently exposed them to the Shawshank Redemption, Cool Hand Luke, and The Green Mile, all prison movies. Just a warning I suppose. The kids call my choices "old people's films."
I usually let the children choose what to watch at the cinema, but retain the right of veto after I suffered permanent mental scarring sitting through Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Tell me about your experience visiting the set of the film.
Visiting the set was beyond surreal. Here were hundreds of people, talented professionals, who had spent the last three months immersed in our story. They'd spent so long lovingly recreating the tiniest details, it was as strange for them to meet us. I remember Pedro Barquin, one of the greens foremen for the set, sinking to his knees on the lawn as he welcomed us.
As soon as the children saw Crystal the monkey they went straight over, actually pushing past Scarlett Johansson to get to her. Matt Damon was as easy and approachable as he seems on screen. I've always been a huge MD fan, and when I mentioned him for the role I could not believe that Cameron was already in communication with him… and that he eventually said Yes.In France I watched the Bourne films, and in the extra features he came across as down to earth and likeable. The stunt crew obviously liked him, and he has a great sense of humour, which for me, is the most important thing. And he's a writer – another man with an Oscar winning screenplay to his credit. A multitalented movie star AND a better writer than me. He seemed like he would fit in well at the zoo. But he'd probably do that better than me too. It was strange chatting to him while he was wearing a zoo keeper outfit with a name badge saying, "Benjamin," on it. I asked him why he took the role, and without missing a beat he said, "To work with Cameron Crowe." Not, "Your story was so amazing." But quite right too. Watching Cameron work I could see why actors want to work with him. Apart from getting Oscar-nominated performances out of them (Tom Cruise & Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire, Kate Hudson & Frances McDormand in Almost Famous), the atmosphere on set was so positive…, with everyone busily working towards the common goal because they wanted to, and Cameron at the centre of it all, an amiable ringmaster, never shouting or ordering anyone around. The atmosphere was kind of how I aim for it to be at the zoo.
And Cameron was so kind to me, letting me sit next to him and watch the "Twenty Seconds" scene being filmed – in OUR tiger house. It was an almost exact replica of the building here at the zoo, even inside (but much cleaner). It was very strange sitting in such a familiar building, next to a familiar tiger, but with a huge movie camera, and Matt Damon dressed as me sitting in the corridor. As the scene started Cameron said, "Now for this scene, Benjamin Mee has to stand up." As I started to rise he put his hand out to indicate that he didn't mean me; it was the other Benjamin Mee he meant. Psychadelic indeed.
Benjamin Mee and Matt Damon
Matt Damon also posed for me wearing a Dartmoor Zoo T-shirt, and gave us permission to use the picture on our website, which was a massive help, as we were going through particularly bad financial problems at the time. I actually spent a lot of my time in Hollywood worrying about making the payroll when I got back, but that one image attracted a huge amount of corporate sponsorship in building materials and labour which was incredibly useful. We actually have a blow-up version of that picture of Matt as a DZP staff member in the Jaguar restaurant.

Home Gaming Mortal Kombat 11 Drops Two Terminator Vs Robocop Trailers
Mortal Kombat 11 Drops Two Terminator Vs Robocop Trailers
Seeing two icons go face to face has been something that fans have enjoyed for decades. It's what originally led to the release of Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator, for good or ill. However, one mashup that shouldn't be so divisive is that of the Terminator vs Robocop in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11 DLC Aftermath.
While fans of the franchise and the respective characters have wanted this for years, few would think of what this would look like. However, MK11 has dropped two trailers focusing on the characters going head to head. Based on how everything looks, the fights will be incredibly satisfying once the game comes out.
The robotic legends are shown off in all of their glory, with the trailers also including fatalities and the characters' overall fight styles. Needless to say, it's as bloodily violent as anyone would expect from the franchise. As such, it looks as though fans of Mortal Kombat 11 will be more than happy with how Robocop and the Terminator interact.
In terms of fight styles, the trailers show off a few special moves. For instance, Robocop has a counter that includes ED-209, a mammoth-sized robot that appeared in an early part of the first movie. In addition, he has a fatality that sees the character shooting the Terminator where his, Uhm, 'man parts' should be.
Aftermath, which introduces both characters to Mortal Kombat 11, is scheduled for release on May 26 and includes a few other additions. Perhaps the most notable are two new characters alongside the cybernetic heroes; Sheeva and Fujin. While there isn't much information about the characters, they certainly seem appealing to most fans of the game.
Based on how well-received special characters have been in the Mortal Kombat series to date, the Terminator and Robocop should be released to a positive reception later this month.

Today, Friday April 12th Darfield ITM celebrates fifteen years of business with a birthday cake to be enjoyed and shared with their customers.
Darfield ITM opened in April 2004 as part of the ITM Group which now has over ninety stores around the country. Mitchell Bros Sawmill owners Tony and David Mitchell were approached in 2003 by Independent Timber Merchants (ITM) as they were looking at increasing their brand and wanting stores in growth areas of the country. Mitchell Bros Sawmillers were well established, had already recognised a need for Hardware and Building materials supply in the area, and saw great potential in joining an exciting new group of independent stores. Darfield ITM began with a team of five – Mark Creamer was the manager, with Chris Mitchell and Brian Redfern in the store, Cameron Haskett ran the yard, and Faye Saunders was in the office.
"We were well supported by the community and quickly increased the staff and the size of the store," Faye explained. "We currently have twelve staff and three part-timers. When Mark moved back to Australia in 2009 I became the manager," Faye said. "At this time Gary Gifkins joined the team as Trade Manager, where he has formed valued and trusted relationships with both suppliers and customers.
"Nick Fisher joined the team in 2005, starting in the yards then sales rep, before finishing in 2017.
"Phil Potter joined us in 2006 to run the yard, retiring a few years ago, but still enjoys working Saturday mornings," Faye added. "Steve Borrie joined the team in 2011 and had a significant impact in growing our pole shed buildings' department creating the brand Heartland Sheds, which Ross Bourhill now runs. Kylie Borrie joined us in 2012, starting part-time in the shop, but progressing quickly, and now working closely with Gary in the Trade Department. Paul Anink and Ed Dance now run the shop, both offering excellent customer service, while working hard on sourcing products to meet the market. They are assisted part-time by Lana Hutchinson-Smith and Tony Port.
"The yard team is headed by Barry Primmer, assisted by Scott Williamson and the two Graham Browns (Oxford and Darfield), Jason Mostert is our friendly sales rep, and lastly and very importantly we have Wendy Henderson in the office," Faye said.
"ITM is passionate about the same things many in our community are – rugby, racing and fishing! We are proud to support the best of Kiwi sport at all levels, both nationally and in our local communities. ITM has been a long-time supporter of Matt Watson and the ITM Fishing Show. We are proud to be sponsors of New Zealand's largest annual sporting event the ITM Supersprint and have recently become a sponsor to Emirates Team New Zealand, plus involvement in Big Buddy and Legasea. "Darfield ITM recognises the support we receive from the community and in appreciation sponsor many local organisations and projects," Faye said.
"We would like to acknowledge the customers that showed faith in us from day one; such as Moore Builders (Richard and Mark), Plumb Level & Square (Phil Marsh), Malcolm Inch (now semi-retired), Ivan Hopkins, Sheds Barns & Yards (Kelvin Kimber) and Fencing Contractors, Mike Warwick, Ross Saunders, Glen Kimber and David Stevenson. They are still loyal customers, and they enabled us to learn and grow our business, to where we now supply most of the local trades in the area.
"We all feel fortunate to be working in a great community where we have got to know our clients and formed lasting relationships while enjoying many laughs and experiences; we thank you for your business over the last fifteen years," Faye concluded.

There's no doubting Capcom could've pulled out all the stops to launch Resident Evil 2 on the day of its 20th anniversary (21st January), but for whatever reason, they've settled on this Friday.
It's probably for the best – a Monday launch would've caught many off-guard.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey on 3DS is another of this week's highlights, also being a remake of sorts. We've rounded up scores below.
Then exclusively on the download services, we can expect the short but sweet PSVR puzzle adventure A Fisherman's Tale, twee rhythm action affair Wandersong, Life is Strange 2's second episode, and The Hong Kong Massacre – a glorious combination of Stranglehold and Hotline Miami. Woo!
Next week: Kingdom Hearts 3, Genesis Alpha One, BOMBFEST, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, Dragons Dawn of New Riders, Worbital, Animal Super Squad, and Drowning.

Rabbi Zvi Hershcovich
A Guinness World Record is Broken: the Chabad in Lifeline
It was comical.
572 rabbis in a zoom call and he was sitting in his chair, asleep.
His head kept slowly rolling down in his sleep and then with a small jerk, he'd raise it up. And then inevitably it would slowly drop to his shoulder.
I couldn't stop watching him. I was listening to the speaker on the zoom call, but my soul was with this rabbi, asleep in front of his computer. Asleep because he couldn't tear his eyes away from his screen. He wanted to be with his 572 brothers.
I was once sitting in his seat.
My name is Zvi Hershcovich. I'm Chabad Lifeline's Director of Marketing and I usually work behind the scenes, and today I'd like to tell you about Chabad and how 5000 rabbis broke a world record.
Understanding the Chabad in Chabad Lifeline
In 1989, Rabbi Ronnie Fine opened Project PRIDE. At the time, he was a Chaplain at McGill University and Director of Chabad of McGill. Project PRIDE would later be rebranded at Chabad Lifeline.
But the history of Chabad Lifeline goes much further than that.
18th century Russia. The country is rapidly expanding westward, and Russian enlightenment is slowly emerging.
Eastern Europe's massive Jewish communities become citizens of the Russian empire, and they include the Chassidim, a growing religious movement based on mysticism fused with joy and fervent prayer.
Enter Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, known as the "Alter Rebbe." A brilliant, revolutionary thinker and leader, he is the founder of Chabad, a rationalist mystical philosophy laid out in his seminal work, the Tanya.
The Alter Rebbe titles his movement "Chabad," a Hebrew acronym for the intellectual attributes of Chochmah (wisdom), Bina (understanding), and Da'at (knowledge).
From insular community to worldwide phenomenon
Chabad spent six generations on Russian soil. During the Holocaust, the 6th Chabad Rebbe (spiritual leader) escaped to New York. His son-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson changed the landscape of the Jewish world as the 7th Chabad Rebbe, known affectionately as "the Rebbe."
Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Communities were ripped apart, and as a result the vast majority of surviving Jews around the world, dealing with immense guilt, turned insular. The Jewish world was devastated, and few were dealing with their spiritual, emotional, and social needs.
The Rebbe changed everything. From the moment he was appointed leader of the Chabad movement in 1951, he began training and sending rabbis to communities across the globe.
These rabbis were tasked with establishing Jewish communities. Motivated by a philosophy that preaches the value of every human and the goal of making this world into a G-dly place by behaving like G-d and helping those who struggle, these rabbis built Jewish communities across the globe.
Social activism will bring heaven down to earth
I grew up in Montreal and studied in a Chabad school right here on Westbury. In 2004, I completed my Rabbinic studies and became a certified rabbi. Several years later, I moved to Stavropol, Russia to serve as the spiritual leader of the large Jewish community living in the province.
Dancing in the streets of Stavropol with a new Torah scroll, the first scroll to be used regularly in 80 years! That's me in the foreground.
Aside from my religious work and efforts at building the infrastructure of a community without any organizational structure for 80 years, I also started setting up proper channels for social activism targeting both the Jewish community and the general public.
I helped arrange medicine for Igor, whose 3 year old son had cancer, I coordinated food distribution for families who couldn't afford meals, and connected with local professionals to help those affected by addiction.
Social activism is a large component of Chabad philosophy, and it's why the majority of Chabad centres around the world offer help to families with special needs children, people suffering from poverty, and anyone affected by addiction.
Chabad organizations that service these needs in Montreal include MADA's food kitchen, the Friendship Circle, and Chabad Lifeline. Each organization is led by a Chabad rabbi sent by the Rebbe. Each one is inspired by the Rebbe.
Chabad centres around the world are called "Chabad Houses," because their goal is to bring warmth, to create a home. This is why Chabad Lifeline is not located in a clinical setting. Because we want to help people recover at home. We are a family.
The annual Kinus
Today, over 5,200 Chabad rabbis operate safe havens across the globe, working together to make this world a better and kinder place.
Some of the rabbis live in remote locations. I did. I lived in Stavropol, Russia. I was the only fully observant Jew in the city. And it was lonely. Incredibly lonely.
It was a spiritual rewarding life yet it contained its difficulties. Constant open antisemitism, lack of kosher foods, and an entirely different culture and language. Sometimes, the loneliness was stifling.
There was always something to look up to. The Kinus.
"Kinus" is the Hebrew word for "convention." Every year since 1983, thousands of Chabad rabbis from across the world gather in Brooklyn, New York for the Kinus: the International Conference of Chabad Rabbis.
There, they attend workshops, meet old friends, and join inspiring Chassidic gatherings (known in Yiddish as "Farbrengens"). The Kinus concludes with the largest sit-down meal in the New York City area.
Kinus group photo. Can you find me?
Stavropol, 2008
November 26, 2008. I got a call from a friend at Chabad of Russia Headquarters in Moscow. "There's been an attack on a Chabad House in Mumbai. Double check your security and stay somewhere safe."
The Mumbai attacks had begun. Worldwide, Chabad rabbis were in shock. A terrorist attack on a Chabad House!
This came during a period of intense loneliness. I began scouring the web for news about the attack. I was transfixed. I discovered Twitter and kept refreshing the page.
I wasn't alone. Thousands of Chabad rabbis were doing the same. We were chatting online. Updating each other. Praying together. And it was cathartic.
At one point I fell asleep in front of my computer. I couldn't tear myself away from my brothers.
Unfortunately, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, his wife Rivka, and six guests visiting the Chabad House in Mumbai, were murdered. My daughter is named after Rivka.
Breaking a world record
This year, the global pandemic made a physical Kinus an impossibility. Chabad was forced to conduct the entire conference online.
Workshops were held online, a virtual marketplace was opened, the banquet went global thanks to the internet.
But the most powerful Kinus experience is something that hasn't been done before in the history of the world. The Zoom Farbrengen. It began at the conclusion of Shabbat and continued for over 133 hours, breaking the world record for longest zoom conference.
Rabbis across the globe joined the zoom and were asked to speak. They shared motivation, memories, songs. Incredible stories. Each rabbi was given under 10 minutes to inspire. And it was non-stop. It concluded Thursday night around 11:00 pm.
At any given moment, between 500 and 1,000 rabbis were in the Zoom meeting. In fact, overflow was sometimes routed to Vimeo when the live feed hit maximum capacity. Quantitatively, thousands of rabbis shared. While writing the initial draft of this blog post, rabbis from the following locations spoke: Perm (Russia), Nicosia (Cyprus), Accra (Ghana), Bend (Oregon), and Pucon (Chile).
And hundreds of rabbis were glued to their screens from morning to evening. They couldn't get away. As long as the Farbrengen continued, they sat and celebrated with their brothers. They cried with their brothers. They prayed with their brothers. And they sang with their brothers.
Can you find Chabad Lifeline Director Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger?
So why are we proud of our organization's name? Why have we kept the obscure word "Chabad" in our branding?
Because that's who we are. We are not a small organization. We are part of a global group with over 250 years of working together to make the world a better place.
Join me. Do something good today. Let's improve our world.

Microsoft keeps trying to help me
February 27, 2014 by jorge
This is the state of my Lync problem as of today.
Yes, I changed the background. The rest looks the same. Bounce, bounce, login, crash.
I never stopped to think about this before, but if you're Microsoft, people obviously blame you for everything wrong with their computer. Dodgy hardware crashes Windows? Microsoft sucks! A pirated copy of Windows ME got pwn3d by a script kiddie? Microsoft sucks! Office doesn't have fancy typography? Microsoft sucks!
It's no surprise, then, that Microsoft has somewhat insulated itself from its users. Microsoft online support doesn't have any categories for "my program crashes"; all of the categories are of the sort "I can't accomplish this task." In other words, you can find things like "I can't login to the Exchange server", or "I can't place a video call".
There's no category for "I can't even run the program," because that's not really supposed to happen. Big software companies devote tons of resources to ensure that their programs are written correctly and tested under most sane (and many, many insane) scenarios. The program crashing on launch is ludicrous, and frankly, almost unbelievable.
Except, obviously, that it is the exact problem I'm having.
When my previous post got retweeted by one of the good people at Ars Technica, it's no surprise that two Microsoft employees contacted me directly and wanted to help. Let's call them E and M. One of them went so far as to send me a voucher that would let me use Microsoft's Pro technical support to get actual professional help with my issue.
So I called the number on the voucher. "Hi, this is Microsoft tech support! Oh? Voucher? I've never heard of such a thing. Anyway, I don't support that product. Let me forward you…"
Long story short, after four calls and communicating with *at least* six different Microsoft Tech Support departments, the following truths were self-evident:
1. Lync for Mac is an obscure product.
2. Lync for Mac is, and is not, part of Office for Mac.
3. You can not get support for Lync for Mac if your workplace licensed it for you. Someone else has to get the support for you.
4. Microsoft support people will tell you they are transferring you and then hang up on you. This happened at least three times.
5. No one at Microsoft knows about the free tech support vouchers.
This wasn't just me – when M from Microsoft tried to call and pretended to be a customer, they hung up on him, too.
In the end, I wasted about three hours chasing down different support leads. No one was able to provide me with support, because I didn't have my employer's Partner ID, and I wasn't using an Office 365 version of Lync. I actually have an Office 365 license, which I pay for out of my own pocket, for devices at home, but that's another story. Reflecting back on it, I should've just lied.
In the end, an email to E, who contacted me thanks to @Lee_Ars' original retweet, got traction. He sent the video linked above to someone internally, and that someone sent me a patch-in-testing that fixed the problem.
I can Lync again, for which I'm very grateful. We use it quite extensively with my team at work. It works great. We even bought one of Polycom's 360 video conferencing systems for Lync (Microsoft used to sell them directly), and it's fantastic. It can track a speaker all around the room and keep them in focus with good audio. Great stuff.
It took me three days to track down the problem, tweeting, writing a funny and reasonably articulate piece, being able to capture program logs, knowing some of the best tech writers on the planet, getting my frustration amplified, the personal dedication of the wonderful people on Microsoft's Mac team, and some luck.
Sorry, Microsoft, but as good as some of your products are, that's just horrible customer service. Your employees are fiercely proud of their company and willing to reach out to an end user to fix a problem. They deserve better from your support organization.

'WFP aims to ensure food security by innovative means'
TEHRAN — The World Food Program (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. Each year, WFP assists some 80 million people in around 80 countries.
A WFP study published earlier this year established a link between hunger and migration. It found that countries with the highest level of hunger, coupled with armed conflict, have the highest outward migration.
For each additional year of conflict and bloodshed, an extra 40 people out of 10,000 will flee their country. It showed that people often move several times within their own country before crossing borders, leaving behind their land, jobs and livelihoods.
As Negar Gerami, WFP Representative and Country Director in Iran, has said "In the Islamic Republic of Iran, WFP currently provides assistance to 30,000 Afghan and Iraqi refugees who have fled their countries over the past 30 years due to war and conflicts."
The Tehran times have conducted an interview with Gerami on the occasion of the World Food Day, October 16.
Negar Gerami WFP Representative and Country Director in Iran (L)
Below is the text of the interview.
Q: How many people are suffering from hunger both worldwide and nationwide? How WFP provide people suffering from hunger or malnutrition with food?
A: The World Food Program is the food assistance arm of the United Nations. We've been present in the country for about 30 years.
As for the number of hungry people worldwide it's more than 800 million. Luckily, in Iran we do not have people in the way that we call them hungry. We have a hunger map which maps the world as per the number of people who are suffering from food insecurity and when you look at that map Iran is in the green. [The map is color-coded] with red or dark red [indicating] locations with extreme hunger, orange [showing] areas facing a little bit of difficulty and green where the prevalence of food insecurity is minor.
Having said that this does not mean that there are not any hungry people in Iran. What it means is that the number of hungry people does not require international assistance. In Iran we are mandated to assist refugees. And we have been doing this for over thirty years now. The refugees are mostly from Afghanistan and a small number from Iraq. These are the extremely vulnerable who are living in camps or settlements in 20 different locations in thirteen provinces in Iran.
What we do is providing a monthly ration to them consisting of the staple commodities; wheat in the form of flour or bread depending on the location and if they have the facilities to bake in their own shelters or it goes to a bakery inside the settlement, rice, oil, sugar, and pulses. This food basket is a dry one and it provides 2,158 kilocalories, the nutritional requirement per person per day.

At the moment we are on the cusp of redesigning our project during which as of 2018 we will continue with wheat flour distribution to the refugees again but we will be replacing the remaining commodities with a cash component allowing the refugees to decide for themselves what it is that they want to buy and giving them the option of diversifying their food intake. As you know all of us eat more than just rice, wheat flour, pulses, oil and sugar.
So this is a global trend wherever markets are available but the purchasing power of the people is compromised WFP goes for cash and replaces the traditional way of food distribution.
We aim to ensure the food security of the people and we do it by innovative means. We do not stick with what we have done for 50 years and Iran is one of those places where the markets are stable, available, and accessible and it's just the matter of not having the purchasing power.
Q: How much money do WFP spend on the projects delivering food assistance to the refugees in Iran? What are those projects?
These girls will become women who are educated and will be better mothers for the family, will be better able to organize the household expenditure and all of these will contribute to the food security of the family. So it's a long term investment, but it does pay off.
A: Currently our project is valued at around $4 million per year. In the new project as of 2018 we have budgeted for $6 million. The $6 million is going to be spent on 30,000 refugees living in those settlements but alongside of that we also promote the education of refugee girls, so we will be giving their families an incentive to send their girls to school.
We also will have a livelihood component in our project targeting women-headed households who are usually economically insecure because for refugee women the opportunity of work is very limited. Due to their cultural issues they do not usually travel outside the settlement so we have come up with an idea of developing a livelihood activity whereby we will be giving them a start-up money and they will produce handicraft items which they usually do and we take and sell those items and we give the profit to refugee women themselves.
This way a little bit of business will sort of be promoted. We hope that it is successful and if it is successful these women will then train other women with the same skills and we hope to cascade this to others as well. Q: You mentioned giving incentive for refugee girls to attend school as one of your projects; what's the significance of sending girls to school in ensuring refugees' food security?
We believe that education is one of the keys to ensure food security in a family. These girls will grow up to become women and mothers and we invest in the future of these girls. The Afghan society is a very traditional one. The refugees who have been here come from a very traditional background. They did not put much emphasis on the education of the girls. We decided to overcome that by giving them an opportunity to send their girls to school.

This project started in 1999. When we were visiting the camps and when we were doing the food distribution we realized that although there were schools in the camps majority of the girls were not being sent to school. So it wasn't because of lack of schools or facilities or unavailability. We dug deeper and spoke to the families and they said what the use of sending a girl to school is. If a girl stays at home she will be able to learn a skill and also contribute to the economy of the household.
Girls were usually either learning Kilim weaving from their mothers or embroidery, carpet weaving or shelling pistachios and the money was contributing to the family household.
So we said how about we give that money as a form of an incentive and back then we were only doing food distribution. The most expensive item in our food basket was the vegetable cooking oil. We said how about we give a tin of oil you send your girls to school after one month they bring back the oil and they all said yes. And this is how it all started. Now for almost two decades we've been doing this. [Back then] only 32 percent of girls who were eligible to attend school were actually going to school; now those statistics have risen to well over 80 percent, so this means that the girls are educated and empowered. This means that they will either be up for a career or take their education further, but at any case these girls will become women who are educated and will be better mothers for the family, will be better able to organize the household expenditure and all of these will contribute to the food security of the family. So it's a long term investment, but it does pay off.
Q: Where does WFP Iran's funds come from?
A: WFP is completely and 100 percent funded by governments, private sector, individuals and institutions. In Iran we've been lucky to attract the attention of a number of donors. Germany, the Republic of Korea and China are large donors to the WFP, specifically to the WFP Iran.
An undated photo of Michael von Ungern-Sternberg, the German Ambassador to Iran (2nd R) visit with the refugees
We prepare proposals, we go and present our project to the donors, and I do that myself through the embassies and ambassadors here. We explain to them what it is that we do we ask for the money that is required to feed these many refugees for this amount of time. The proposals are reviewed and then sent to the capitals and depending on the availability of fund then the money is earmarked for WFP to spend in Iran. The money is earmarked at our headquarters and we receive the funds and we usually do local procurement here.
We are here to complement the assistance of the government of Iran to the refugees. When you look at the broader picture there are more than a million registered refugees in Iran majority of them live in the urban areas almost all of them benefit from primary education as well as healthcare.
So the money that we get we invest in buying food inside the country. The reason why we do that is because there is a thriving food supply in Iran. The suppliers are quite well equipped to do business with us. The leap time, the time from the moment we actually get the money up until the moment we can deliver the food to the refugees is much shorter when we buy it locally and quality issues do not arise because this is the food that is being produced locally here and goes through the rigorous institutes of standards regulations and is readily available. So the majority of the food we buy here locally.
Q: How about the government of Iran. Do they make any contributions to WFP? What about Iranian NGOs?
A: The government of Iran is our implementing and cooperating partner. We are here to complement the assistance of the government of Iran to the refugees. When you look at the broader picture there are more than a million registered refugees in Iran majority of them live in the urban areas almost all of them benefit from primary education as well as healthcare. These are all investment of the government of Iran. We are providing food assistance, so we are helping with that and we are doing it through the government.
Our implementing partner is the Bureau of Aliens and Foreign Immigrants Affairs. It's a department within the Ministry of Interior that has been mandated to assist with all refugee related matters. We have a very close partnership and cooperation with the government.
We are not currently working with any NGOs. For our new cash component we will be engaging with the private sector and the banking sector so these will be our new partners as of 2018.
Q: The second of the seventeen proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is "end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030". Is it actually possible to achieve zero hunger by 2030?
A: We do firmly believe that achieving zero hunger is doable in our lifetimes. We do believe that there is enough food around the globe to feed everyone. It is not being utilized in the right way, so sustainable food systems is also an issue. This is a global issue which requires a collective approach.
If all the countries who have signed up to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) specifically SDG 2 put in their effort we do believe that it is possible to achieve zero hunger in our lifetimes and hopefully by 2030. Iran is in a much better state than other countries but Iran is also contributing at global level to the goal of achieving zero hunger.

Q: What are your plans for commemorating the 30th year of WFP presence in Iran?
A: There will be series of events to commemorate our presence. It's not good to be in this business for so long. This means that there are still issues to be tackled with. Nevertheless we believe that during these 30 years we had a number of success stories, a number of happy endings that is good to hear about. In this day and age when you always hear about conflicts, displacement and things that are very sad I think that there is a very good story to tell about Iran.
We will be commemorating our 30th anniversary through series of events. I won't say much because I want it to be a surprise but we are planning to do something big and to raise awareness on not only issues related to Iran but again in the general discourse of zero hunger and SDG 2. It will be in second half of November.
The media has been one of our most trusted and favorite partners because you spread our word. Usually when we are working we are so involved in the work itself that we forget to talk about it. The media has been very kind to spread the word on our behalf and to raise awareness.
