The year 2016 is one in which many Nigerians groaned as they get used to a different way of doing things, it will go down in history as the year we decided to stick with change irrespective of the difficulties associated with the process.
We have President Muhammadu Buhari to thank for remaining committed to seeing the process through despite the harsh criticisms from the very people whose future he is working so hard to secure.
Someone gave an analogy that what some people would have preferred is for Mr President to administer painkillers for a life threatening situation that requires radical surgeries for removing diseased tissues.
The surgeries to remove the diseased tissues would definitely lead to post-operation pains as the body heals itself.
The same body could have taken the painkillers and get those momentary reliefs and possibly the euphoric feelings that come with some of such mediation and be lulled into a sense of feeling that all is well while the disease spreads farther.
The analogy is apt. Take the economy for instance. It turned out that all that had happened over the years was that the cracks in the system were papered over without the inherent structural defects been corrected, the cracks filled up with mortar and plastered over before painting. Despite years of chanting catchphrases the country continued to be driven by a mono-culture revenue derivable from crude exploration.
Citizens were barely allowed to know about dangerous shortfalls that were quickly covered with borrowing.
It is to President Buhari’s credit that we finally confronted the pressing need to pay attention to other sectors for funding the economy.
That the international price of crude oil fell coupled with attacks that crippled oil export are happening at this time further worsened the situation. But contrary to initial concerns these twin problems were instead converted to opportunity, a final chance to break the addiction to oil revenue.
And like all addictions, the country and entire citizenry experienced the pains of withdrawal symptoms from their addiction.
Surprisingly, the positive results are coming in early. The loss of a large chunk of oil revenue put pressure on the naira and made it drastically lose value against major foreign currencies with the inevitable consequences that that our second addiction, the addiction to imported goods was impacted.
It became too expensive to continue cultivating the taste for foreign products so our local entrepreneurs are having a field day, smiling to the bank irrespective to the wails coming from those that were not prepared for such transition.
If the feelers from the last quarter of 2016 are anything to go by small and medium businesses would have a bumper year in 2017 as more of them make more inroads by tapping into the opportunities that have been created as a result of diversifying into other sectors of the economy.
Equally of importance in 2016 under President Buhari is that it would go on record as the year the scourge of Boko Haram, inherited from the previous administrations, was halted, degraded and defeated.
The insurgency of the terrorists was all but accepted as final prior to the coming of Mr President but his choice of military leader and the political will to end the reign of the world’s deadliest terror group saw Boko Haram fighters and commanders being killed, captured or surrendering over the course of the year.
Remnants of the killer group still stage attacks on unsuspecting places using newly thought up tactics but the incoming year should see them totally routed if the tempo from this year is sustained.
With youth unemployment being identified as one of the root causes of their availability for recruitment into Boko Haram and other vices like militancy, separatists fighters, kidnapping and robbery, the N-Power programme of President Buhari launched in the year is a masterstroke.
The first batch of 200,000 youths engaged under the programme will demonstrate what is possible under the programme and how the administration is youth friendly.
In spite of the economic challenges, the government has continued to give priority to rehabilitation and expansion of infrastructures.
While it may appear slow, anyone that travelled for the end of year holidays can attest to the work going on to fix the roads, the ones that are not being fixed are being maintained as palliatives. In fact one post on Facebook captured it by saying that even though Nigerians were lamenting how difficult things are, for the first time in several years they celebrated the year end without fuel queues and the number of people that travelled in the spirit of the season defied the cries over an economic recession.
The other sectors, all cannot be outlined in this piece, The positive results trickling in from each sector may not be immediately visible at this early stages. They are a testament to the great things that would happen when Mr President gets the urging and support of Nigerians to do more.

‘The mixed-green salads—for sure, you can blame me for them,” says Alice Waters. “We were doing those very early on. I think lettuce was my first passion. I was bringing seeds over in the early 70s from France and planting them in my backyard, wanting a French kind of salad, with frisée and mâche. I’m sure I have contributed to the awful demise of the concept of mesclun, just by promoting it in many, many, many ways. And now, of course, one of those big companies has grabbed onto the idea, and they cut up big lettuces and put them in a bag, mix them up, and call them mesclun. Who is it—Dole pineapple or somebody?”
There are many more things for which Waters and/or the restaurant she co-founded in 1971, Chez Panisse, can take credit: the mantra of “fresh, local, seasonal ingredients” now chanted by any chef or home cook of integrity; the high profile the organic movement currently enjoys, particularly where professional cooks are concerned; the popularization of such gourmet name brands as Laura Chenel’s Chèvre and Niman Ranch meats; the formalization of the position of “forager,” the person at a restaurant whose job it is to seek out the best local ingredients and establish working relationships with farmers and suppliers; and the early careers of, to name but a few chefs of national reputation, Jeremiah Tower, Judy Rodgers, Deborah Madison, Mark Miller, Paul Bertolli, and Jonathan Waxman.
Chez Panisse is a pretty but unassuming place that sits on an O.K. but not particularly attractive stretch of Shattuck Avenue in the northern part of Berkeley, California. It doesn’t feel like “an important restaurant”—there’s a downstairs dining room done up in woody Mission style where a single bill of fare is served at a set price every night, and an upstairs café with an à la carte menu and an open kitchen where you can watch the cooks work the grill and bake pizzas in the wood-burning oven. The waiters are friendly without being affrontingly informal, and the prices are eminently fair—the most a meal can cost (as of this writing) is $85 a head for a weekend-night prix fixe, or about a third of what you’ll end up paying at the French Laundry or Alain Ducasse. The overall Chez Panisse experience is, in a word, unpretentious.
Yet, paradoxically, no restaurant in America has inspired, yea invited, more cultish worship and precious food-crit overdrive. Chez Panisse is the ultimate manifestation of the baby-boomers’ contribution to the American food revolution, tracing its bloodlines directly to the Free Speech Movement, which rocked the University of California’s Berkeley campus in late 1964. As with all things great and boomerish—the rock music of the 60s, the civil-rights movement, Rolling Stone magazine in its heyday—the magnitude of Chez Panisse’s achievements is tempered by a certain cloying self-aggrandizement. This is a restaurant that never lacked a sense of its own importance, and was celebrating its birthday with commemorative limited-edition posters as early as 1973.
“We’ve always had this joke, those of us who have been exposed to Chez Panisse or worked there, that Alice thinks she invented food,” says Bill Staggs, who joined the restaurant’s staff as a cook in 1972 and wound up a maître d’, working there on and off until 1993. Not that Waters is the only culprit; in February 1973, when the restaurant was desperately in need of a new chef, she met her match in Jeremiah Tower, a strikingly handsome libertine full of vim, vigor, vintage Krug, ambitious menu ideas, royalist pretensions, and himself. Tower would soon emerge as the Lennon to Waters’s McCartney, the combustible half of a wondrously complementary partnership that would produce magical results but engender perpetual arguments (even among those who had never met either person) over who deserved credit for what.
‘Alice and I gave frequent dinner parties,” says David Goines, who was Waters’s live-in boyfriend in the mid- to late 1960s. “It became more and more obvious that what was needed were ingredients that we couldn’t get, or ways of cooking that weren’t common. The whole trend of American family cooking, since the 1940s, had been toward faster and easier, and things that were already prepared. It was gradually whittling away the very essence of what it meant to cook dinner for your family. It’s like the story of the farmer who decided that his mule was eating too much, and he gradually fed the mule less and less. And just when he’d trained the mule to live on nothing, the damn mule died on him. That’s kind of what’d happened to American family cooking.”
In 1966, the year he and Waters became a couple, Goines was an intense, bespectacled kid with a stentorian speaking voice and deeply held convictions—not just on food but on civil rights and free speech. He had been, in fact, one of the prime movers in the Free Speech Movement (F.S.M.), which erupted into a national story in the autumn of 1964, when student activists rebelled against the University of California at Berkeley administration’s banishment of political groups from campus. Goines was among those who prevented the police from carting off a fellow Berkeley agitator named Jack Weinberg (who later coined the aphorism “Never trust anyone over 30”). Surrounding the squad car that was to take Weinberg to police headquarters, Goines and his colleagues staged an unplanned sit-in that grew bigger and bigger as it lengthened to 32 hours. Another student and F.S.M. firebrand, Mario Savio, climbed onto the roof of the marooned vehicle and announced he was “publicly serving notice that we’re going to continue direct action” against the school. The next day, photos of Savio atop the car were all over the nation’s papers.
Alice Waters didn’t yet know Goines at this point, but he was precisely the kind of non–Ken doll she’d hoped to meet when, in January of 1964, she transferred—indeed, fled—up north from the University of California’s Santa Barbara campus with three of her fellow disgruntled sisters at the Alpha Phi sorority. “The women we’d met in Santa Barbara were all lined up to get married when they were 22,” says Eleanor Bertino, who roomed with Waters on both campuses and also had been her classmate for one year at Van Nuys High School, in Southern California. (Waters grew up in Chatham, New Jersey, but moved west with her family in 1961, her last year before college.) “We pledged the same sorority at Santa Barbara because it was the only way you could have a social life,” says Bertino. “Very shortly, there were four of us who were like, Oh, my God—this is not for us. There had to be something more exciting and interesting than living in a sorority. Halfway through our sophomore year, we all transferred to Berkeley. None of us were politically involved, but we just liked the fact that there was activity going on up there. I mean, we were nice girls, not radical at all. I remember going to see an English teacher of mine before I left Santa Barbara, and she said, ‘I’ll send you brownies in jail.’ I had no idea what she was talking about.”
But it didn’t take long for the erstwhile sorority sisters to acclimate to Berkeley life. “Without being outcasts, we didn’t have to get married, and you could move in with your boyfriend, and you had the pill,” says Bertino. And when the Free Speech Movement kicked in, during their second semester there, she and Waters threw themselves into the cause, if not to the extent of getting arrested and incarcerated. “I loved the sense of community that flowed out of the Free Speech Movement and my little group of friends, and I knew I just wanted to be here,” says Waters, who, apart from a junior year abroad in France and a prolonged overseas trip in 1967–68, has lived in Berkeley ever since.
Revolution in Taste
Waters’s first trip to France, the site of her culinary awakening, came in 1965, the year after her political awakening. “I went to Paris and to Brittany. And that’s really what awakened me in a sensual way to food,” she says. “I hadn’t ever been enthusiastic or excited about food. My mother wasn’t really a good cook, more of a health-food person, always giving us vitamins.” Like Julia Child before her, Waters was struck that people in France “just cared about food—they cared about the buying of it and the cooking of it, no matter whether they ate at home or went to a restaurant. They bought the best bread and went to the farmers’ market two times a day, because they didn’t want the produce that had come in in the morning for the dinner.”
Still, Waters was not yet in a position to proselytize on real food’s behalf in America; she had a few semesters to go when she returned to Berkeley. But it was a fertile time and place for an aspiring foodie. In the 1960s, the Bay Area was crawling with young radicals who, like Waters, were reconsidering their relationship with food and, in so doing, were taking an increasing interest in health-food authorities they’d earlier ignored or dismissed as old crackpots—people like the lichen-munching naturalist Euell Gibbons, whose 1962 book, Stalking the Wild Asparagus, acquired new chic, and the magazine publisher Jerome Irving (J. I.) Rodale, who was the first person to use the term “organic” in an agricultural context, and whose quarter-century-old publication, Organic Farming and Gardening, suddenly enjoyed a huge spike in readership.
As the author Warren Belasco notes in his wry, masterly work of culinary anthropology Appetite for Change: How the Counterculture Took On the Food Industry, “White versus brown was a central contrast. Whiteness meant Wonder Bread, White Tower, Cool Whip, Minute Rice, instant mashed potatoes, peeled apples, White Tornadoes, white coats, white collar, whitewash, White House, white racism. Brown meant whole-wheat bread, unhulled rice, turbinado sugar, wildflower honey, unsulfured molasses, soy sauce, peasant yams, ‘black is beautiful.’”
Berkeley was developing its own, more accessible brand of culinary nonconformity, assaulting the “white food” status quo from a more cerebral, European angle by offering high-quality “gourmet” goods to the university community, which was full of worldly, educated people who had traveled abroad or actually were from abroad. In 1966, a cantankerous Dutchman named Alfred Peet opened a shop near Waters and Goines’s apartment, on the corner of Walnut and Vine Streets, called Peet’s Coffee and Tea. Mr. Peet, as he was universally known, had grown up in the coffee business in Holland and worked as a tea trader in the East Indies, and preached to his clientele on the importance of using high-quality arabica beans rather than the cheaper, lower-grade robusta beans used by commercial producers like Folgers and Hills Brothers. He quickly developed a loyal following among students and locals, who became addicted to his strong, deep-roasted, intensely flavorful coffee and carefully followed his precepts for re-creating his potent brew at home. (Goines remembers that he and all his friends bought hourglass-shaped Chemex filter coffee-makers from Peet, who, with characteristic severity, insisted that his coffee never be percolated.) Among Peet’s most devoted acolytes was a recent University of San Francisco graduate named Jerry Baldwin, who, after moving to Seattle, was turned on to the master’s coffee by a friend who ordered the beans by mail. In 1971, with Peet acting as their supplier and roaster, Baldwin and two of his Seattle buddies, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker, made a go of it with their own coffee company, Starbucks.
By the late 60s, Waters was teaching at a Montessori school and seriously considering opening a restaurant. She had amicably split up with Goines and was living with Tom Luddy, a film archivist. Her new boyfriend’s connections in the film world broadened her social circle considerably. Waters got to know Francis and Eleanor Coppola, who had started up the American Zoetrope studio in an old San Francisco warehouse in 1969, and, with Luddy, she traveled to the island of Noirmoutier, France, to stay as a guest of the filmmaking couple Jacques Demy and Agnès Varda. While Luddy talked movies with his hosts—the directors, respectively, of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Cleo from 5 to 7—Waters hung back in the kitchen with Demy’s mother, who prepared the sorts of gutsy, unpretentious French meals that she relished.
In Berkeley, Waters’s dinner parties with Luddy were elaborate affairs, rich with culturati like Jean-Luc Godard and Susan Sontag and political activists like Abbie Hoffman and Huey Newton, the Black Panther leader. “It was radical chic, like Leonard Bernstein,” says Eleanor Bertino. “All these people would come through their modest little bungalow, Alice would cook this lovely dinner, then more people would come, and Tom would screen a film, and then Alice would serve Armagnac afterward, and there would be these group political discussions.”
Luddy was also the one who turned Waters on to the films of Marcel Pagnol, in particular the director’s Marseille trilogy, from the 1930s, which the couple took in at the Surf Theater in San Francisco. The three films, Marius, Fanny, and César, follow the intertwined lives of a group of Provençal characters from youth to late middle age. Waters’s favorite character in the Pagnol trilogy, or at least the one she grew mistiest over, was Panisse, a kindly, besotted sail-maker who offers to marry Fanny when she learns she’s pregnant by another man, Marius, who has forsaken her for a life at sea. When Waters started casting about for names for her restaurant, Luddy suggested that she name it after Panisse.
It was another of Luddy’s film buddies, a Berkeley junior professor and fledgling filmmaker named Paul Aratow, who provided the impetus for Chez Panisse to become a reality. Aratow, who with his wife had spent time in France and Italy on Fulbright fellowships, was an even more accomplished home cook than Waters, and he was willing to put up some of his family’s money to support the venture. It was he who cut a deal to buy a run-down house on Shattuck Avenue off Vine Street as the restaurant’s site—“an ugly, squat, two-story, Hollywood-type stucco apartment house that I tore apart with four or five hippie carpenters,” he says.
Alice’s Restaurant
Chez Panisse served its first dinner on August 28, 1971: an appetizer of pâté en croûte (an un-Provençal nod to Julia Child, whose haute, buttery tendencies were mitigated, in Waters’s mind, by Child’s boosterism of French cookery and general wonderfulness), a main course of duck with olives, a salad, and an almond tart. Waters wore a vintage beige lace dress. The kitchen wasn’t finished yet, there was insufficient silverware (Waters would return to the flea market several times that week for reinforcements), and the five waiters kept bumping into one another, because Aratow and Waters hadn’t yet figured out that the smallish dining room required only two or three. But for all the naïveté and rank amateurism, Chez Panisse’s principals knew they’d struck a nerve. “It was exactly the right historical moment for this to happen in Berkeley,” says Victoria Wise, the restaurant’s original chef, who’d taken on the job despite having no professional experience. “The educated clientele, the professors and students who had been to Europe, were waiting for a restaurant like this.”
The fixed price the first few months was $3.95, which was both a terrific value for a four-course meal and suicidally inexpensive considering the restaurant’s high overhead—the remodeling costs, Waters’s insistence on the finest ingredients and floral arrangements, and her and Aratow’s “come one, come all” approach to staffing, which meant there were as many workers in the restaurant as there were customers in the dining room.
Immediately popular as Chez Panisse was, it nearly didn’t survive its first year, and for a very counterculturish reason: no one had any business sense. “Those of us who were working hard figured somebody had a handle on it, that the cash flow was being properly managed—and we were wrong,” says Jerry Budrick, who was a waiter on opening night and remained on staff for 17 years, becoming the headwaiter and in-house handyman in the process. “It turned out that nobody had any idea of how much was going out compared to what was coming in. The whole operation was sliding deeper into debt.”
The absurdly optimistic initial plan was for the restaurant to serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, “seven days a week, from seven a.m. to two in the morning,” says Waters. “That was foolishness.” The breakfast was quickly phased out, and lunch became a rudimentary mix of soups, sandwiches, and the previous night’s leftovers. But even with these cutbacks, the hours were still impossibly long for Waters, which put a strain on her health and her relationship with Luddy. “She was a total workaholic, and I was very impatient and angry with her much of the time,” he says. “She had no time for anybody—just driven, driven, driven. I wanted her to take Sundays off and be more reasonable about her health. I remember once coming to the kitchen and seeing her sitting on an upturned pot, and I said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said that she couldn’t see—she was blind. Her system had short-circuited, and she sat there maybe, like, an hour before her sight came back.”
Luddy and Waters broke up, and Aratow, too, soon fell away, eager to devote his time to filmmaking and unable to reconcile his desire to make a buck with Waters’s high ideals, spendthrift ways, and what he calls her “china-teacup personality.” “I’d say, ‘We’ve gotta put another four tables in or we’re gonna go down!’” he says. “And she would say, ‘No, it’ll be too crowded!’ She didn’t really care about the money.”
The restaurant’s most skilled prep cook was an elfin but temperamental artist named Willy Bishop—“the only real Beatnik I’ve ever known,” says Budrick—who started out as a dishwasher but turned out to be a maestro with a chopping knife, and who specialized in unsellable psychosexual canvases that Jeremiah Tower describes as “these wild watercolors of guys jerking off and cum flying all over the place, with Mallarmé poetry written down the side. Or people sitting on toilets, you know, blowing themselves.”
The place was a jerry-rigged, unstable haven for otherwise unemployable people, but for all the volatility, Chez Panisse had a certain lusty, Pagnol-esque joie de vivre that was precisely what Waters was after. When it was over between her and Luddy, she moved on to Budrick, a jolly, Falstaffian sort who was known for drinking prodigiously even as he waited on tables. (“We never had any rules about drinking on duty,” he says, “but we had an unwritten rule that you couldn’t smoke marijuana, because you can’t do a restaurant on marijuana.”) Waters also made a point of maintaining warm relations with her exes. So Luddy continued to bring in filmmakers like George Lucas, Nicholas Ray, Roberto Rossellini, Satyajit Ray, and Akira Kurosawa, and Goines, in 1972, designed the first of his annual Chez Panisse posters, an Art Nouveau–evocative image of a red-haired lady sipping from an aperitif glass.
“I do want all three of them,” Waters would say of Budrick, Luddy, and Goines in an early-80s interview with Savvy magazine, when she wasn’t yet a mother or the James Beard Foundation’s humanitarian of the year, and therefore didn’t present as carefully crafted a public persona as she later would. “I wonder about my selfishness. I just don’t want to lose them. I’m not really jealous of their women, but I want them to want me most. You know, before I begin to cook I have to touch the food. I’ll hold the leg of lamb. Touch the tomatoes. It’s the same as Jerry, Tom, or David. I want to go around and touch home base with them.”
In 1972, though, the fun-loving abandon was taking its toll financially, and the future didn’t look good for Chez Panisse. With suppliers getting irritable about lack of payment, the restaurant seemed destined to be another failed let’s-open-our-own-place fantasy, albeit a quirkier and more hirsute one than most. Chez Panisse received a stay of execution, though, when a local woman named Gene Opton, who was a little older than Waters and ran a profitable cookwares shop called the Kitchen, agreed to come on staff as general manager, pumping some of her own money into the enterprise, too. “Alice just said, ‘We really need some help,’” says Opton. “There was a little cottage in back of the house, and in the cottage there was a desk, and it had a drawer. I pulled open the drawer, and in it were stuck all these little bits of paper for their expenses. That was their recordkeeping.” Opton did her best to straighten out the finances and took on some of the cooking responsibilities, alternating with Waters as chef even as she continued to run her shop.
This arrangement saved the restaurant from oblivion, but it couldn’t last, not least because the sensible, straightforward Opton was an ill fit with the freak parade, and, as Budrick says, “she wasn’t Gallic. It was a French restaurant, and she was bringing influences that were more of a stern nature, Germanic stuff.” Opton confirms that she cooked “some kind of braised beef and a lovely sweet-and-sour gravy to go over it, because I do have this Alsatian background, and, to go with it, a steamed pudding that included currants. And Alice was not happy with that—it was a night that Tom Luddy brought Howard Hawks to dinner.”
Bishop, the only kitchen staffer who consistently performed his duties with some measure of professionalism, frequently grew exasperated at the chaos and ever changing personnel, and threatened to quit on a regular basis, casting off his apron theatrically. But he couldn’t help but admire Waters’s wiles in rallying people to her cause. “Whenever she got pressured, she’d turn into a little girl, make a little high voice, and everyone would just come and help her—involuntarily,” he says. “She knew how to work that. She was like one of the Gish sisters—she dressed like that, she looked like that, she was innocent and weak. [Mimicking a pale, consumptive 19th-century heroine] ‘Oh, who’s gonna help me? Who will peel the garlic?’ And bada-boom! Here come the troops!”
“What you had at that time was a bunch of people in the kitchen who could do one specific dish well—nobody was well rounded,” says Bishop. “When I did dinner with Alice, she would spend, like, two hours making a béarnaise, futzing around. Alice never had restaurant-cooking chops.”
Chez Panisse had become a special place in Berkeley, and, on account of Luddy, a filmmakers’ hangout and a rubbernecker’s paradise for film geeks. But it couldn’t go on functioning like this. And it certainly wasn’t yet an important place culinarily. The wine writer Robert Finigan, who was working for the restaurant critic Jack Shelton in 1972 and soon thereafter took over his newsletter—and who would later have his own romantic dalliance with Waters (apparently during one of her hiatuses from Budrick)—characterizes the restaurant as he remembered it then as a “beef-stew-and-fruit-tart bistro for students and junior faculty. That’s all it was. The presence of Jeremiah is what changed everything. Jeremiah really made the restaurant.”
A Towering Figure
“Jeremiah” is, of course, the estimable Jeremiah Tower. In February 1973, though, Tower was a 30-year-old gadabout with two Harvard degrees who’d never held a proper job and was down to his last 25 bucks.
Stressed out and backed into a corner, Waters and Opton had resorted to placing an ad in the San Francisco Chronicle that sought out “an inspired and energetic chef who will plan and cook menus weekly for a single entrée five course dinner à la Elizabeth David and Fernand Point.” Tower happened to be staying in San Francisco at the time, sleeping on the couches of his Harvard friends Michael Palmer, the poet, and John Sanger. The West Coast was something of a last resort for Tower, who, since his graduation from college, in 1965, had lived an itinerant life, using his good looks, pansexual appeal, and gift for ingratiation to insinuate himself into artistic and wealthy circles like a real-life version of Patricia Highsmith’s talented Mr. Tom Ripley.
Unlike Tom Ripley, Tower came from a reasonably well-to-do background and had a talent beyond oleaginous charm: he could cook up a storm. Though American-born, he was reared mostly in Australia and England, spending much of his childhood in pampered solitude in grand hotels and on ocean liners while his disengaged parents—Dad a peripatetic Wasp business executive, Mom a kindly but alcoholic gardening enthusiast from a wealthy Irish Catholic family—attended to their professional and social obligations. This upbringing imbued him with both an ambiguous quasi-British accent and a precocious love of Escoffier-style grande cuisine as it was still practiced in the 1950s in places like London’s Hyde Park Hotel and the kitchens of the Queen Elizabeth.
A true culinary-freak prodigy, the boy Tower feasted eagerly on tête de veau, calf’s head, with sauce gribiche, the classic French mayonnaise made of hard-boiled eggs, vinegar, and fresh herbs, and amused himself by splurging on treats from the food halls of Harrods and Fortnum & Mason. Tower came to understand the value of fresh, seasonal ingredients by helping out his mother with her garden in the English countryside, which yielded fantastic beans, herbs, and strawberries, not to mention the edible nasturtium flowers with which he would later adorn salads in America, kicking off one of the more ridiculous food trends of the 1980s. Tower learned to cook by observing his mother in the kitchen (she was a dab hand at the stove when she wasn’t drinking too much), intuiting his own versions of what he’d eaten in fine restaurants, and studying Larousse Gastronomique and whatever cookbooks he could get his hands on.
At Harvard, Tower’s cooking ability attracted as much notice as his cheekbones and jawline. Underwritten by his father and the rich kids to whom he was naturally drawn, he spent prodigious sums on Château d’Yquem, the king of all Sauternes, and the finest cuts of beef, whipping up ever more elaborate meals for his louche, too-cool-for-campus circle, whose members enjoyed not only his interpretations of classical cuisine but such inventions as “consommé marijuana” (made with chicken stock, fresh basil, sea salt, pepper, and “1 packed cup marijuana stems and seeds”). Though he dabbled in student activism, Tower never came close to sharing the conviction of Waters and her crowd, declaring himself “annoyed by the crude fascism” of Students for a Democratic Society, the largest of the national student organizations. His idea of revolution was to prepare a feast for the prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn—who visited Boston while he was in grad school and, to his delighted surprise, accepted his invitation to dinner—with a menu that consisted entirely of ingredients and vintage Lafites that his friends had stolen from Cambridge shops.
But by New Year’s Day of 1973 the jig was up. Tower was getting a bit old for the role of pretty-boy-at-large, was unable to convince anyone of his architectural genius (he specialized in designing untenable underwater habitats), and, to his humiliation, was scratching out a subsistence living as a gardener for wealthy Bay Area homeowners. Fortunately, Palmer, his temporary host, saw Chez Panisse’s want ad in the Chronicle and, mindful of his friend’s cooking prowess at Harvard, suggested that Tower pay a call to the restaurant. Which Tower, in an uncharacteristic state of nervousness and supplication, did.
The circumstances of Tower’s hiring are a matter of debate. As he tells it, he went to Chez Panisse for a six p.m. interview, walked in, found the kitchen in a state of preparatory frenzy, and was received by a harried Waters, who pointed to a giant pot and said, “Do something to that soup”; Tower doctored the soup with salt, white wine, and cream; Waters tasted it, smiled, and shouted “You’re hired!” through the din of the kitchen; and thus began one of the most notorious stints by a chef in American culinary history.
“That is so much a fiction. That isn’t how it happened at all,” says Opton. In her recollection, Tower was one of several candidates who were asked to provide a week’s worth of sample menus and cook an “audition” meal for the core staff: she, Waters, Budrick, and Tom Guernsey, who alternated with Budrick as headwaiter and cooked Sunday brunch. All the surviving principals save Tower support Opton’s version (Guernsey died of AIDS-related illness in 1990), but agree that Tower was far and away the standout candidate. “We almost hired someone else before him,” says Budrick, “but Jeremiah came and plopped down a month’s worth of menus and cooked this incredible meal for us. We all just looked at one another and said, Well, if he really can do what he says he can do, then this is our guy.”
Despite his inexperience, Tower brought an instant professionalism to the kitchen, his comfortably worn East Coast authoritarianism a welcome antidote to the anti-hierarchical guilt and collectivism of the Berkeley gang. Whereas Victoria Wise played Led Zeppelin and David Bowie on the kitchen’s record player, Tower, in his pomp, took to blasting Marlene Dietrich and Italian opera—Puccini, Bellini, Rossini, Verdi. Culinarily, though, he kept his flamboyance under wraps at first, sticking to Waters and Opton’s prescribed bistro menus of quiche, French onion soup, boeuf bourguignon, and the like, so he could acclimate himself to the task of cooking for dozens of people rather than six or eight stoned dinner-party guests.
After a few months, however, when he realized that his encyclopedic knowledge of food far exceeded everyone else’s there, Waters’s included, Tower began dipping into his vast cookbook collection, drawing upon such golden oldies as Escoffier and Curnonsky, as well as the somewhat more progressive works of the midcentury French master Fernand Point. “The newspaper ad had asked for someone who was passionate about [the English cookbook author] Elizabeth David and Fernand Point,” Tower says. “So I was looking at Alice’s historical record of two years of menus at Panisse. I just laughed to myself. Fernand Point? I mean, hardly. But since his Ma Gastronomie was one of my favorite books and always had been, I started trying to do a couple of simple things, like crème gratin, or quenelles à la lyonnaise, things like that.” Before long, Berkeleyites were being served entrées like truite jurascienne, trout cooked in rosé wine with hollandaise sauce and buttered croutons, and la brioche de ris de veau au champagne, sweetbreads in brioche pastry with champagne sauce.
This wasn’t quite what Waters had envisioned for her haimish little community bistro, but, initially, she and Tower coexisted happily. “Generally, it worked,” says Bishop. “And it worked because this guy, Jeremiah, was so manic and insane. If he was gonna make bouillabaisse, he’d go to Chinatown and come back with, like, a six-foot conger eel: ‘Look what I got in Chinatown!’ I was like, ‘What the fuck is it?’”
For the Beatnik dishwasher turned sous-chef, nearing 40 and accustomed to scraping by on society’s edges as an artist and sometime drummer in jazz combos, cooking with Tower brought him the greatest rush of artistic fulfillment he’d ever felt in his life. What was most extraordinary about their partnership, Bishop says, is that Tower wrote out these elaborate, themed menus, a different one for each night of the week, and sent them off to Goines to be rendered in calligraphy, printed up, and posted for public viewing a few days before they’d be served … without ever having cooked any of the dishes described.
Which meant that every night Tower and Bishop were essentially winging it, relying on Tower’s instinctual gift for getting things to taste perfect and Bishop’s telegraphic ability to instantly absorb and execute Tower’s visions. “We’d be doing 90 or a hundred soufflés,” Bishop says, “and we only had one oven behind us and two down below, and you gotta keep that door closed. For some reason, we were always able to pull that shit off. None of us, myself included, had the slightest idea of the chemistry, what food does when it does those things. It was kind of like World War I: give the guy a gun, send him out there—and fuck him!”
Tower is equally complimentary about Bishop’s skills. “He couldn’t taste anything,” the chef says, “because he sucked on English mints and menthol cigarettes, so he had zero palate—but he knew the workings of the kitchen. I mean, my God, if you had ever seen Willy make a duxelles out of 20 pounds of mushrooms, that’s my favorite image of him. Today, with young kids out of cooking schools, you can hear them chopping from a mile away. But Willy was a drummer, a musician. He would take two Chinese cleavers, dump the mushrooms out onto the six-foot butcher-block table, and he’d go around the table, wielding the two cleavers. Within 10 minutes, you had perfect duxelles. And the cleaver would just barely touch the table.”
Not Your Mother’s Crème Anglaise
If there was an air of naughtiness and decadence behind the scenes at Chez Panisse even before Tower’s arrival, by the time he was firmly in charge of the kitchen, the atmosphere was positively Caligulan. “It was so outrageous when Jeremiah was there, almost like another plane,” says Bill Staggs, who was waiting tables at the time. “There were magnums of Sauternes, and champagne all the time, and he used to keep these nitrous-oxide canisters around for whipping the cream. The waiters would take a hit of nitrous oxide before delivering the entrées to the dining room.” Tower tamped down his hangover every morning by raiding the pastry chef’s section of the fridge for crème anglaise, the thick, yolky dessert sauce, which he poured into a giant snifter and drank as his breakfast. He dates the start of his cocaine habit to the restaurant’s third birthday, on August 28, 1974. With the turnout much greater than he’d anticipated, Tower found that his energy was flagging. As word of his bedraggled state got out, he recalls, a friend of one of the waiters came back into the kitchen with a “black-leather-coated accomplice” who whipped out a big bag of blow and started cutting lines on top of the chest freezer. Re-energized, Tower returned to his ovens, in which were baking individual-size pizzas—California’s first, so he claims.
Thereafter, Tower and Bishop were hooked. For the debauched but hyperambitious chef, cocaine actually enhanced his performance—“It was a party in the kitchen, but he controlled it, and was serious about the food,” says Staggs—but Bishop was not so fortunate or self-disciplined. As dealers started showing up at the back door with regularity, he and some of his acquaintances got into increasingly harder stuff. “We were doing opium stuffing,” he says. “You stick it up your ass. Just a quarter of a gram, a little ball, and you bypass the alimentary canal. You don’t get nauseous—you just absorb it.” Bishop’s drug problems intensified to the point where, some years later, after he’d left Chez Panisse, he was a suicidal, freebasing wreck. In an especially cruel twist of fate, given that he was revered in the kitchen for his nonpareil knife work, he wound up doing time for stabbing a man in an Oakland dive bar with his paring knife.
“Aww, God, it was insane,” says the remorseful Bishop. “I had a knife. I was gonna go to a triple-X movie theater and stab myself. Not to kill myself, but to get attention. And then someone said the wrong thing in a bar—we were the only two white guys in a black bar—and said it again and again and again. And ‘Artistry in Rhythm’ by Stan Kenton was playing. And I was wasted.” Thanks to the magnanimous intervention of Waters, who secured him the best legal representation possible, Bishop got off lightly, with eight months in jail plus three years of probation.
Friends say Waters frowned upon the drug scene, but she imbibed as freely as anyone and was fully involved in the Fleetwood Mac–like carnival of sexual entanglings and disentanglings. Bishop claims he slept with both Waters and Tower, “though not at the same time.” And, despite his general orientation, Tower says he had a few romantic episodes with Waters. As Tower wrote in his memoir, “Drugs were easier to organize than sex, unless it was casual, which usually meant with one another. Who else would put up with us?”
By 1975, Tower’s theme dinners and ever more outlandish flights of culinary fancy—like his Gertrude Stein–Alice B. Toklas dinner, composed of recipes from The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, and his week of Salvador Dalí–inspired fare, such as “L’entre-plat drogué et sodomisé,” a leg of lamb “drugged and sodomized” with a mixture of Madeira, brandy, and tangerine juice injected through a syringe—started attracting the press attention he craved. Herb Caen, the San Francisco Chronicle columnist and beloved local institution, wrote up the Stein-Toklas dinner, and James Beard, America’s great gastronomical arbiter, during one of his regular trips west to teach cooking classes, paid a visit to Chez Panisse and mentioned it in his syndicated column as a “fascinating” new place to watch.
In October of 1975, Gourmet ran a rave review of Chez Panisse by Caroline Bates, the magazine’s West Coast correspondent, hailing Tower for “joyously exploring la vraie cuisine française in all its vigor, freshness, and variety and ignoring those French dishes that turn up elsewhere with such monotonous regularity.” The Gourmet review was crucial, its appearance the juncture at which Chez Panisse gained a national reputation, and at which people with unfamiliar area codes started calling for reservations. It was also a crossroads for Bishop, who, a few months after the review appeared, threw down his apron for good, unable to abide the onslaught of what he called “food weenies,” some of whom dined with that issue of Gourmet open in their laps, hoping to find the dishes they’d read about re-created—a futile hope at Chez Panisse, where, at least in those days, no menu was ever served twice.
The question arises: Precisely what was Alice Waters, the person most readily identified with Chez Panisse, doing as all this dazzling culinary wizardry was transpiring? “Overbooking, mainly,” says Bishop. “And then hiding in the kitchen when she overbooked, because we only had enough food for a certain number of people.” In fairness, it should be noted that the front of the house, Waters’s domain, also came in for copious praise in the Gourmet review, with Bates devoting her entire first paragraph to the atmosphere that Waters had so carefully cultivated: “It is warm with the honesty of natural wood.… Just inside the main dining room a still-life table arrangement of flowers, unblemished fresh fruit, and glistening fruit tarts suggest that this is a restaurant more interested in art than in artifice.” But the kitchen was very much Tower’s show in those days, and as the restaurant grew more successful and Tower and Waters more famous, their relationship, always volatile, suffered more blowups.
There was a notorious episode in which Waters seated a party of four after 10 p.m. that included her then boyfriend, Robert Finigan, the restaurant critic and wine writer, even though the group had no reservation. Tower was furious—the night’s entrée, gigot d’agneau, leg of lamb, was almost sold out, and he didn’t have enough for everyone. He offered to cook someone a steak instead, but was told by a waiter that Waters, who had sat down with the group, demanded that everyone be served the lamb. “So the other three people at the table had perfect lamb,” says Finigan, “and my plate was so gristly that I couldn’t eat it. And I—politely, I think—asked the waiter to take it back to the kitchen and say to the chef that he couldn’t have intended that to be the case.” The waiter complied, but Tower, growing angrier by the minute, replied, “Tough shit!” The waiter, inexperienced and terrified of further incurring Tower’s wrath, returned to the table and announced, “The chef says to tell you, ‘Tough shit.’” Moments later, Waters stormed into the kitchen, sobbing and screaming, “Jeremiah, how could you?”
“I was very unhappy that the waiter took Jeremiah’s comment and passed it on to Finigan,” Waters says. “You just don’t do that—you never pass this on to the customer.”
Asked for her own assessment of the Tower era, Waters says, “That was a period of time when I was very much on the foraging side and Jeremiah was very much on the cooking side, so we fit that together. I had always intended Chez Panisse to be a simple little place. Never wanted anything more, and I still don’t want anything more. When Jeremiah came, he had a whole other vision of the food. It was just the kind of food that I … [contemplative pause] wasn’t cooking. And I was fascinated by it at the time.”
If there’s a whiff of diplomatic evasiveness about these comments, it’s because Tower’s contribution to Chez Panisse remains a touchy subject, and the relationship between Tower and Waters remains rather tortured and complex. Tower, though he physically still looks like someone who should be “standing at the prow of a yacht,” as the Chez Panisse busboy turned baker Steve Sullivan puts it, has withdrawn from the restaurant game and acquired the gossipy mien of the late-period Truman Capote; he’s funny and unafraid to say whatever is on his mind, yet his wit and entertaining braggadocio can’t mask an abiding bitterness—in his case, over Waters’s “editing,” as he puts it, of his role at the restaurant. Waters, on the other hand, has matured into a great doer of good, America’s foremost champion of organic farming, sustainable agriculture, and healthily fed schoolchildren, beatified in a PBS American Masters special as the architect of a “delicious revolution.” As such, she comports herself with the dignity and guard-up caution of a U.N. goodwill ambassador. Yet even she can’t suppress a smirk and a roll of the eyes when a portion of Bates’s Gourmet review is read aloud to her, a paragraph that praises a course of “quenelles of fresh fish, beef suet, and marrow with a lobster sauce.”
“That was a baroque period,” she says, smiling. “But that was his … his taste, his desire.”
The paradox of the Tower period is that it put Chez Panisse on the map, but in many respects wasn’t representative of what the restaurant, or Waters, stood for, before or after. Some Waters loyalists, like Tom Luddy and the writer and longtime Berkeleyite Greil Marcus, go so far as to label the Tower era a ghastly aberration. “If you read Jeremiah’s menus from that time, they’re incredibly pretentious,” says Luddy. “They were going toward that Paris haute-cuisine thing that Chez Panisse later turned against. I’d go to Alice and say, ‘I can’t eat this—it’s too rich. And then there’s all this cheese coming.’” Marcus remembers going to Chez Panisse with his wife, Jenny, for a New Year’s Eve dinner in the Tower era as they’d done every New Year’s Eve since the restaurant opened. They arrived, Marcus says, to find the place bereft of their old Berkeley crowd and “packed with Jeremiah’s cocaine-dealer friends. We took one look at the crowd, and the menu, which was full of all these haute, heavy courses we didn’t want to eat, and left.”
The price for that night’s dinner, whose main course was “prime sirloin of beef with truffles, roasted and served with a truffled Madeira sauce,” was an astounding $25 a person, not including wine—a long way from the convivial Francophile bistro that had arisen out of the Free Speech Movement. Yet those who were on the staff at the time say that Tower’s transformative effect on the restaurant is indisputable. “Anybody who says that Jeremiah made it too fancy is whistling in the wind to me,” says Jerry Budrick, the headwaiter. “All I know is we sold out every dinner. The more elegant Jeremiah made those dinners, the more the public responded. And it wasn’t just the snobby elite.”
“There are two camps,” says Tower. “There’s someone like Darrell Corti [the Sacramento wine expert and gourmet-foods-shop owner], who sent a Sicilian Mafia funeral wreath when I did the week of Escoffier menus, saying, ‘This is the end, Chez Panisse can never be greater than this.’ And the other camp is I destroyed the little Pagnol-movie neighborhood thing. And the truth is, you know, both.”
Right Under His Nose
By 1976, burned out by the long hours and the tensions at Chez Panisse, Tower was trying to conjure an exit strategy. James Beard suggested that Tower take over the kitchen of Maxwell’s Plum, Warner LeRoy’s upscale pub in New York. Tower rejected that idea, having grown too fond of the ingredients and open spaces that Northern California afforded, but was intrigued by Beard’s advice to “just stick with America.” Beard had been proselytizing on behalf of American food for years, and had published his would-be masterwork, American Cookery, in 1972, but it wasn’t until Tower was feeling stirrings of discontent that Beard’s message reached him, that it occurred to him that a serious chef could, as he puts it, “use American ingredients for themselves rather than as substitutes for unobtainable French ones.”
The epiphany occurred when Tower, as was his wont, was paging through an ancient cookbook for inspiration—in this case, The Epicurean, by Charles Ranhofer, the chef at Delmonico’s, the great restaurant of New York’s Gilded Age. One of Ranhofer’s recipes was for crème de maïs à la Mendocino, a cream of corn soup. The town and county of Mendocino were just up the coast from Berkeley, north of Sonoma. Tower remembers thinking, “What in the world was the chef of New York’s most famous restaurant doing thinking about dishes local to small regions of California?” More to the point, he wondered, “Why fret any longer about the authenticity of ‘French’ ingredients for French regional food? Why not just go shopping in Northern California and call that the region?”
On October 7, 1976, having exhausted nearly all the regions in France and nearly all the French-cookbook authors whose recipes interested him, Tower unveiled his Northern California regional dinner at Chez Panisse, its menu entirely in English. The second course was “cream of fresh corn soup, Mendocino style, with crayfish butter.” In another nod to Ranhofer’s era, when restaurants often listed the provenance of the ingredients on the menu, Chez Panisse that night served, among other courses, “Spenger’s Tomales Bay bluepoint oysters on ice,” “Big Sur Garrapata Creek smoked trout steamed over California bay leaves,” “Monterey Bay prawns sautéed with garlic, parsley, and butter,” and “Preserved California geese from Sebastopol.” The descriptions didn’t yet have the intimacy of later years’—apart from the mention of Spenger’s, a Berkeley fish market, there was no nod by name to a supplier, à la “Bob’s turnips” and “DeeAnn’s garden greens”—but there would be no turning back. The notion of a “California cuisine” was afoot. Within a couple of years, California cuisine would be seen as a bona fide culinary movement, though its base of operations would not be Berkeley but Los Angeles, the home of the young chefs Wolfgang Puck and Jonathan Waxman, the latter a Chez Panisse alum.
In January 1977, Tower picked up his knives and left. Chez Panisse’s kitchen was taken over by a committee led by his sous-chef, Jean-Pierre Moullé, an actual Frenchman and the first employee of the restaurant to have authentic culinary training. Tower and Waters remained cordial enough for him to make a brief return engagement at the end of 1978, when she was going to be away and wanted someone she could trust to oversee Moullé and his staff. But in the aftermath of that stint, she would tell New West magazine that Chez Panisse, under her stewardship, was benefiting from a shift away from the “old conservative menus” (for “conservative,” read “fancy”) of the previous regime. Tower was wounded, telling a reporter that, in the beginning, “Alice didn’t know a little vegetable from a rotten one,” and the skirmishes in the press would continue for at least a decade—most notably in 1982, when the first Chez Panisse cookbook, the Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook, was published, and Tower felt his contributions weren’t sufficiently acknowledged. Later, from his perch at Stars, the large, vibrant San Francisco restaurant he owned and ran in the 1980s and early 1990s, Tower would deploy the phrase “too Berkeley” as his favorite pejorative.
But even Tower can still admire Waters for sticking to her vision. “She deserves credit for being in love with food, being in love with the neighborhood bistro that should be part of everyone’s life,” he says. “Where you can just drop in, and you say ‘Hi’ to the bartender, and you have a glass of wine that’s interesting and good and inexpensive. And just have a pizza or sit down and have a meal. That’s a Pagnol vision, a European vision—that the bistro was the heart of the village. Her vision was incredibly strong and has never wavered, really, so she deserves credit for sticking by it. To have never given up that vision, and not to have done it another way, like Wolfgang Puck, with a $378-million-a-year gross income—it’s almost unique in this part of our culinary history.”
A mong those pulled in by the Chez Panisse mystique were Deborah Madison, the lunchtime cook who opened the vegetarian restaurant Greens and became a cookbook star; Judy Rodgers, Madison’s fellow lunch-shifter, later of Zuni Cafe in San Francisco; Mark Miller, the sous-chef and, in time, the southwestern evangelist behind the Coyote Cafes in Santa Fe and Las Vegas; and Jonathan Waxman and Mark Peel, both of whom briefly passed through Chez Panisse’s kitchen en route to stardom in L.A. at, respectively, Michael’s and Campanile. Waters, essentially, had a kitchen-staff equivalent of her friend Francis Coppola’s cast for his 1983 film The Outsiders, an assemblage of then unknowns and little-knowns that included Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Patrick Swayze. And as many a Panisser has noted, her motley collection of ex-, current, and quasi-boyfriends was itself an amazing marshaling of disparate talents that she put to good use—Goines for his Deco–Art Nouveau graphics sensibility, Luddy for his pull in the film world, Budrick for his provisioning and Mr. Fixit skills, Robert Finigan for his influence in the food press.
“Alice was innocent and frail and weak, but at the same time, she was a bad motherfucker,” says Willy Bishop. “Her determination and her strength, hidden behind that frailty, made that place continue and continue and continue, no matter who left. And everybody left. But she didn’t. She is the woman.”

Shares of Sun Pharma plunged 15 per cent today, wiping out Rs 34,055.55 crore from its market valuation, after the drug major said it expects to take a hit on profit for the fiscal due to charges related to the ongoing integration with Ranbaxy Laboratories.
The stock tumbled 14.95 per cent -- its biggest single-day fall -- to settle at Rs 805.30 on the BSE. In intra-day trade, shares of Sun Pharma plunged 15.6 per cent to Rs 799.05.
At the NSE, shares of the company plummeted 15 per cent to Rs 805.25 at close.
The extreme weakness in the stock pulled down the company's market valuation by Rs 34,055.55 crore to Rs 1,93,784.45 crore.
The stock was the biggest loser on both Sensex and Nifty.
"After the FY16 sales and profit guidance, we expect the company's financials to be impacted," said Sarabjit Kour Nangra, VP Research - Pharma, Angel Broking.
As a part of the integration process with Ranbaxy, the company expects to incur certain integration charges in order to generate long-term synergies from this merger, Sun Pharma said in a statement yesterday.
Also as part of the integration processes, the company may decide to discontinue certain non-strategic businesses, it said.
As per the company's estimates, the consolidated revenues would remain flat or show a decline over FY15. Also the consolidated profits "may also be adversely impacted due to certain expenses/charges arising out of integration as well as remedial actions."
The company completed the USD 4 billion merger deal with Ranbaxy Laboratories in March this year.
Meanwhile, in the broader market the BSE Sensex ended at 28,182.14, down 237.98 points.
Pulls down Sensex too
IT exporter Infosys may have been the star of the day, but the benchmark BSE Sensex lost ground heavily, weighed down by some late-session selling pressure, which ended the day 238 points lower at 28,182.14.
"Investor focus was on the monsoon session of Parliament and heavyweight earnings as the market traded sideways and finally closed in the negative territory," said Alex Mathews, Head Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services.
Cautious investors steered clear of healthcare, realty, refinery, banking and FMCG counters.
Sun Pharma dealt the maximum blow, plunging as much as 15%, its biggest daily fall, after the company warned that its earnings numbers would be tepid at best.
But the silver lining was Infosys whose stock zoomed 11 per cent after the company reported a nearly 5 per cent yoy increase in consolidated net profit at Rs 3,030 crore for the June quarter. Its bullish revenue guidance lifted other IT stocks too.
The Sensex started the day on a weaker note at 28,391.82, but recovered immediately to 28,518.06 on the back of solid foreign capital inflows coupled with Infosys' positive show.
Intra-day, it fell to 28,138.30 before settling at 28,182.14, down 237.98 points, or 0.84 per cent, largely due to fag-end profit-booking by participants.
The 50-share Nifty dropped 74 points, or 0.86 per cent, to close at 8,529.45 after trading between 8,517.90 and 8,646.75.
Of the 30 Sensex stocks, 23 ended lower while only seven notched up gains.
"The initial Q1 FY16 results are a mixed bag, providing no clear picture of the earnings outlook. The expectation regarding results is low," said Vinod Nair, Head-Fundamental Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services.
Besides Sun Pharma, others that ran up losses were Vedanta, Lupin, ONGC, Tata Steel and Cipla.
In spite of the cloudy sentiment, Bharti Airtel, Wipro Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto registered gains.
In terms of BSE sectoral play, healthcare fell 5.93 per cent, along with realty, oil and gas and FMCG. However, IT ended in the positive territory.
The broader markets couldn't escape the selling pressure as the BSE small-cap and mid-cap indices fell up to 1.59 per cent.
Going ahead, investors are waiting for the outcome of the the monsoon session of Parliament, which is going to decide the fate of key legislative reforms such as GST and Land Bills.
According to provisional data, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) net bought shares worth Rs 714.40 crore yesterday.
The market breadth turned negative as 1,883 stocks finished lower, 946 closed higher while 101 ruled steady. The total turnover rose to Rs 3,203.58 crore, from Rs 2,775.95 crore yesterday.
European stocks were trading mixed today while Asian markets signed off higher.
US stocks closed mildly higher yesterday with the Nasdaq hitting another record as earnings reports came in.
Jefferies maintains buy call on Sun despite adverse guidance
International brokerage house Jefferies said it is positive about Sun Pharma's strong key fundamentals, though its stock plunged 15 per cent today, a day after the company warned of a deeper cut in bottomline and topline this year due to ongoing integration with Ranbaxy..

In the third episode of ‘TC Show Off’, a weekly video show that provides startups a platform to showcase themselves, their business models, the core USP etc., iDubba, a social network for TV shows introduces its product offerings. The platform is also a pictorial TV guide that makes TV programme surfing easier.
The company had also launched iCouch app, an engagement platform wherein fans of any particular show get to capture live moments of the show and share it with their friends or other fans. In short, the idea is to never watch TV alone. So when users follow any particular show, they start getting notifications. It can be called as the Twitter for TV.
The three year old startup has already been able to bag partnership with Zee Cafe and is exploring the revenue channel of allowing the white labelling of certain shows to engage with their fans. While presently available only on Google Play as an Android app, its founders plan to launch an app for other platforms as well. With a current user base of 1 lakh, the startup aims to cross the half million users mark in the next six months.
According to Mukul Singhal, principal, Saif Partners, if iDubba is able to add address book on mobile, location, besides all other social networking sites, then it can become an interesting value proposition. “The white labelling of shows can prove to be a good bread and butter winner. However, virality / high user adoption will define the business in the long term,” he adds.

Ubisoft’s 2012: ACIII and Far Cry 3 lead the charge
Ubisoft is making a serious push in the social, free-to-play and digital spheres, but the French publisher hasn’t forgotten the core, fronting a small but solid line up clustered around the 2012-2013 transition.
.
From a traditional gaming perspective, Ubisoft is kicking off the new financial year with a whimper rather than a bang. The publisher had four 3DS games due in the first three months, the most interesting of which was Rayman Origins, with the others falling into the bargain bin category. Much of its recent financials briefing was lovingly focused on a prolific line up of mobile and social titles; it sounds a bit grim for those without Facebook and iDevice.
Things are starting to warm up though: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is looking more and more solid ahead of its launch this month – a good closing note before going into hibernation over the summer.
Waking in the autumn, we find some heavy hitters in place. Far Cry 3 is due in September, and Gearbox’s Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 should drop around the same time, so expect marketing for both to hype up shortly.
In October, Ubisoft’s big gun comes out; Assassin’s Creed III releases at the end of the month and is almost guaranteed to be massive. On the opposite end of the genre spectrum, strategy sim Anno 2070 will receive an expansion called Deep Ocean around the same time.
The newly announced Avengers: Battle for Earth is undated, but is likely to arrive near the Wii U’s launch, knowing Ubisoft’s fondness for new hardware. The publishers is said to have seven Wii U titles in the works in total, including an Assassin’s Creed game, Ghost Recon, Killer Freaks from Outer Space and Rayman Legends.
During 2012, we should see the new Might & Magic card game come out of beta, and Trackmania developer Nadeo is expected to debut two new UGC-focussed titles, ShootMania and QuestMania, during 2012. We can expect ongoing support for the successful Trials: Evolution, and Ghost Recon: Online will surface at some point. Rocksmith seems to be doing well, and Ubisoft may reiterate – or simply ramp up downloadable content. Some time in 2013, we’ll finally see the odd breathing title Innergy, too.. Both studios, in conjunction with Red Storm, have also been working on Rainbow 6: Patriots, which seems to have stymied slightly so may appear at a later date.
Speaking of Ubisoft Toronto, Jade Raymond’s new team will debut a new IP sometime this year, possibly as early as E3 – but it’s likely to be in the very early stages of production right now, and probably won’t surface until 2014.
Ubisoft Massive is working on a “next-gen project”, which may see reveal, but possibly not until 2013 when the hardware its expected to run on is unveiled.
The suspected MMO is just one of a number of unannounced next-gen projects the publisher has vaguely admitted to fielding. Don’t expect to see Beyond Good & Evil 2 until new consoles go formal, either.
Lick your finger and hold it in the wind; feel that? It’s the passing of a console generation. Ubisoft is waiting for platforms holders to drop their bombshells before it rushes into marketing mode for its usual massive line up of new-hardware launches, and by all indications, is going to have some fancy offerings this go-around. Keep an eye on Ubi; the next 18 months are going to be quite exciting.

H.
Let’s start with Hohokum, which is coming to PS3, PS4 and Vita in 2014. As you might expect, its colourful glory isn’t the product of the God of War team; the studio is now sheltering Frobisher Says developer Honeyslug, much as it once incubated thatgamecompany. The visuals come courtesy of a collaboration with artist Richard Hogg.
Described as “a whimsical colorful game with an emphasis on playful exploration and creativity”, Hohukum casts you as a flying snake-looking thing. It deliberately avoids several gaming tropes like missions, failure, and challenge, and although it does offer secrets and trophies, it’s a playground. Hohokum has being doing the rounds at festivals for a while and even made it to the IGFs in 2011, but has only recently found a platform to call home.
Next up is Doki-Doki Universe; “doki-doki” is a Japanese term meaning a heart beating fast in excitement. Also headed to all three Sony platforms, this one is the product of HumaNature Studios – and I hope you remember it, because it’s the first new game in forever from Toejam and Earl creator Greg Johnson.
“Our somewhat lofty goal is to create new and original game experiences that reach out to people looking for more humanity in games. We love interactive stories, emotional expression and self-discovery, and are not so big on shooting things,” Johnson said.
Doki-Doki Universe will release in stages., The first release is a free download where you can fly around and take personality quizzes. There’ll also be a friend messaging system which can be accessed from mobile devices too, for cross-platform chat. Meanwhile, there will be premium DLC packs offering whole worlds to explore, with a game in the “RPG/Simulation/Interactive Story” genre, set in a “huge simulated living universe”.
Players take on the role of a robot called Model QT377665, or QT3, which was abandoned on an asteroid 11,432 days ago. An alien arrives to announce that your model is being scrapped for not having enough humanity, but you can save yourself by proving you have plenty. You can fly around on a giant pig, poo, whale or a number of other things, which has basically sold me right there.
Finally, there’s CounterSpy, which comes via a new indie called Dynamighty and is only coming to PlayStation Mobile, PS3 and Vita, not PS4. It’s a side-scrolling action affair casting you as a member of C.O.U.N.T.E.R., playing both sides of the Cold War to halt an escalating international incident.
It seems to mostly involve combat in secret bases, and rightfully offers a variety of prototype weapons which can be unlocked by collecting blueprints. It was apparently inspired by classics like Flashback and Metroid.
Images of all three games are available below; click the links in their titles to learn more.

At age 89, Peter Brook remains the great magician of the modern stage. Revered for five decades of cross-cultural experiments, this master director continues to conjure something from nothing, creating pure, unmistakable theater from little more than bodies situated in empty space. The Valley of Astonishment, the latest project from his base at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris, offers a kind of sequel to The Man Who, Brook’s 1995 venture into the mysteries of the human brain. That earlier production was inspired by Oliver Sacks’s neurological research; The Valley of Astonishment takes its title from a breathtaking Persian poem recited in the middle but for its narrative draws on Alexander Luria’s book, The Mind of a Mnemonist.
Brook and longtime collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne take us a little bit further into the mind’s labyrinths with these stories about people with synesthesia, a condition that causes one to experience cognition in many sensory dimensions at once. The protagonist, Samy Costas (played with wonderful tautness by Kathryn Hunter), processes numbers and language into imagery, sound, taste, and color. The intensity of her sensations can be euphoric or painful — and all the more so because she finds them hard to forget. A magic show is involved, but Brook and Estienne perform the most impressive sleight-of-hand, alchemizing simple tales into revelations of human potential.

Philadelphia’s diagonal Benjamin Franklin Parkway stretches one mile from just beyond City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art at the edge of Fairmount Park, acting as the home of museums, cultural institutions and other attractions. Planner Paul Philippe Cret and designer Jacques Gréber, both French, modeled the parkway after the Champs-Élysées of their native country, creating a beautiful thoroughfare here in Philadelphia.
After a long planning and construction process, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway officially opened in October 1918. The arduous yet bold vision ushered in a new era of urban design in America: the City Beautiful Movement.
For the last century, the attractions, green spaces and public art of the Parkway Museums District have captivated residents and visitors alike. The buildings on the Parkway’s borders are a who’s-who of culture, and the stretch is street-party central, with massive events such as the annual Fourth of July concert, the Budweiser Made In America Festival and the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Even Pope Francis knew the Parkway was the best place to deliver Sunday mass during his 2015 visit.
Read on to learn more about the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
One of the largest art museums in the U.S., the Philadelphia Museum of Art rises majestically at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and houses vast collections, including Renaissance, American and impressionist art. A one-acre Sculpture Garden extends the galleries to the outdoors. Across the street, find the 1927 art deco-designed Perelman Building, which showcases selections from the museum’s costume and textile collection as well as modern and contemporary design and photographs.

In 1902, The merger of
McCormick Harvesting Machine Company with the Deering Harvester Company brought about the creation of the International Harvester Company (IH), which over the following seventy five years became a diversified producer of farm equipment, construction equipment, gas turbines, buses, trucks, and related equipment. Amid World War II, International Harvester manufactured M-series military trucks to the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval as weapons cargo transporters, weapons carriers and light artillery movement. Today,
Navistar manufactures International brand military vehicles through its Navistar Defense affiliate.
International Harvester K and KB Series were trucks that were manufactured by International Harvester, the first being the K delivered in mid 1940. Altogether there were 42 models, 142 unique wheelbase lengths and load ratings running from 1/2 ton to 90,000 lbs. They are well known for their durability, prewar design after the war, and low cost. The K, sequal, the KB, was presented in 1947, with the trademark contrast being an extended lower grill appearing as "wings". From 1947 to 1949 122,000 KB-1 and KB-2 trucks were produced The KB series was supplanted by the L-Series.
The International Harvester Scout was manufactured from 1961 to 1980. An antecedent to modern SUVs, it was made as a contender to the Jeep, and at first featured a folding windshield. The Initial Scout and second generation Scout II were manufactured in Fort Wayne, Indiana as two-door vehicles with a removable hard top with a full length rooftop, half cab pickup or soft top options.
The International Harvester Travelall a full-size, truck-based sport utility vehicle was made by International Harvester during the years 1953 to 1975. Featuring a design similar the Chevrolet Suburban, it is an antecedent to full-size SUVs.
The International Extreme Truck Series (known by the acronym XT) is a gamut of pickup trucks built by Navistar International in the years 2004 to 2008. Two vehicles were based upon on International medium-duty trucks, while another was derived from a military strategic vehicle built by Navistar. The XT-Series trucks were manufactured in Garland, Texas.
It was the first consumer vehicle built by International since the cessation of the Scout in 1980, the XT trucks denoted the return of International to building pickups since the discontinuing of the 100-series pickups in 1975. Due to lower than anticipated sales, Navistar ceased building the XT-Series in 2008.

This bride got henna tattoos on her arms and legs and those of all her bridesmaids, too. The detailed bottom hem of her wedding dress nicely frames her shoes and shins to show off all those intricate henna drawings. Her gold-painted toenails and gold strappy wedding shoes complement the henna tattoos nicely, and the Persian rug in the Grandview Suite of Thornewood Castle, where this bride got married, adds one last touch of detail.

Som Saa restaurant - London, UK
In a city teeming with international restaurants, it’s surprising that London’s best-known Thai eatery is a chain. That’s not to say the city cannot do Thai food well, but the capital has long lacked a frontrunner.
Filling this gap is Som Saa, an authentic restaurant brought to Londoners by co-head chefs Andy Oliver and Mark Dobbie, and manager Tome George. In fact, Som Saa earned its bragging rights well before opening it’s new location — the restaurant started life as a pop-up in Peckham and its current, permanent, presence in East London is thanks to a crowd-funding campaign. Here, ubiquitous favourites are bypassed in favour of regional specialities. Coconut and pandanus-smoked trout may not be an obvious choice for the uninitiated, nor the fiery som tam thai (green papaya salad), but their freshness and uncompromising flavours are a revelation. The same can be said of the potent cocktails, all presented in thick porcelain cups that are both beautiful and all-purpose; their cooling touch taking the sting off Som Saa’s intense housemade curry pastes.
It’s all offered in a space that reflects Som Saa’s humble beginnings. The former fabric warehouse offers few polished edges, sprinkled with charming tchotchkes picked up in Thailand alongside distressed walls and exposed brick arches. Designed in collaboration with Coriander Buildings, the interior features many layers, split between a bar area and a dining room which in itself contains three distinct pockets, including elevated booths constructed from steel I-beams. London finally has the Thai it’s been waiting for.

One year after Mayor Anthony A. Williams took office, there are clear signs that he has ushered in a new era of D.C. government: There is a single telephone number for residents to call for city services; business owners are getting permits much more quickly; and some city offices stay open late to serve people who work all day.
But there are also nagging reminders of the old D.C. government: long waits at the Department of Motor Vehicles; trash that isn't always picked up on time; huge piles of leaves that accumulated in late fall because city crews were behind schedule; and abandoned buildings that continue to be eyesores along New York Avenue, despite officials' promises to tear them down.
They are the mundane tasks of government--visible ways to tell whether a bureaucracy is serving its residents. Williams (D) has spent much of his first year trying to rebuild trust in D.C. government by stressing such basic services, and interviews across town indicate he has been mostly successful.
For the record, Williams has come through on 20 of 28 promises he made a year ago to improve a range of basic city services, and he is making progress toward fulfilling five more. During the year he added more goals focusing largely on public safety; his success rate on those initiatives is roughly the same.
But as Williams tries to nail down the last items of his first-year plan, he acknowledges that the real work--fundamentally changing D.C. government so that it never again faces massive financial problems and a constituency that doesn't trust it to deliver services--is just beginning.
In essence, his first-year plan was cosmetic, a fresh coat of paint on a government with serious shortcomings, including its lack of oversight in issuing contracts, its neglect of the mentally ill and homeless and its incompetent workers who are a drag on the government.
Abdusalam Omer, Williams's chief of staff, said the administration hopes to sustain its accomplishments while tackling the complexities of dysfunctional agencies.
"Rome was not built in a day," Omer said. "The mayor came in and faced broken systems. A number of employees were not motivated or trained to do the job they were supposed to do. We dug out of that and have established confidence and credibility with District residents. There is a sense of hope and civic pride."
Williams said his main goal last year was simply rebuilding residents' faith in city government.
"I'm very proud of getting citizens involved and ensuring accountability," Williams said. "There is a sense of urgency and responsiveness. Our government leaves a lot to be desired, but it's a long way from where we were."
Among his top accomplishments: The mayor and his advisers cite the new citywide call center, the sale of more than 100 boarded-up buildings to first-time home buyers and a summit in November that drew about 3,000 people who were told their suggestions will be considered when Williams prepares next year's D.C. budget.
Williams designed the call center (202-727-1000) to try to make residents' interaction with D.C. government less frustrating. Twenty-seven operators, each with a computer, answer queries--an average of 41,000 calls a month--and try to provide accurate information with few delays.
More than 3,600 requests each month come from residents with complaints about trash pickup, illegal dumping, dangerous tree limbs, dead animals that need to be taken away, potholes or malfunctioning street lights. The complaints are tracked to ensure they are addressed.
Last summer, Williams persuaded the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to release 68 boarded-up buildings from its public housing rolls, and the properties were offered to first-time home buyers for $250 in a lottery.
Williams has, however, been surprised by the difficulty in improving some aspects of D.C. government. In his inaugural speech, Williams said that "we need to free ourselves from the tyranny" of long lines at the DMV, and he promised results in six months.
He's fallen short of that goal. One Williams aide said that the DMV's problems turned out to be "worse than we thought."
The large waiting room in DMV's downtown headquarters seems more organized than before; each resident gets a numbered ticket and waits until the number is displayed on an electronic board.
But one recent day it was standing room only, with more than 300 people, at lunch time. For Stephanie Weisman, 30, who had shown up at 9 a.m. to get new car tags, the wait was nearly four hours, courtesy of a crashed DMV computer. Halfway through her wait, Weisman ran out to put more money in a two-hour parking meter and found that she already had been issued a ticket.
DMV workers weren't always helpful. Wrong advice from the information desk set Weisman behind about 30 minutes. At the first window, Weisman found a helpful and courteous employee. But then she had to deal with a rude cashier.
"You have no common sense," the woman told Weisman, who had lost her tags.
Sherryl Hobbs Newman, who took over the DMV last summer, acknowledged the crush at the C Street NW headquarters and the problems with an old computer system. By next year, she plans to have a new computer system installed.
Newman also plans to retrain DMV workers and to try to shorten the time residents spend at the agency by using a newsletter and a Web site to describe what documents they need to bring. Satellite offices are planned, and soon residents will be able to apply for licenses and permits online.
Residents have praised one thing about Newman's agency. The DMV, along with the departments of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, Employment Services and Human Services, now is open until 8 p.m. Wednesdays to make it easier for working residents to take care of city business. The DCRA and the Office of Tax and Revenue also have opened one-stop customer service centers.
One recent day, D.C. landlord Edward T. Battle needed the names of the officers of a corporation he planned to sue, so he headed to the DCRA's new offices on North Capitol Street. He was directed to the "One Stop Business Permit Center," a clean, comfortable room filled with clerks.
At the front desk, Battle was asked what he needed and issued a number. In 20 minutes, Battle's name was called, and the file was delivered. It was, he said, quite a contrast to the times he had to wait hours for documents at DCRA's old offices on H Street NW, where workers often appeared to duck into cubicles to dodge eye contact with frustrated residents. Sometimes, Battle said, he'd hear workers chatting with each other or making personal calls as he waited.
"I'm one of the people who believe the mayor has done a good job in terms of his outreach services," Battle said. "It's an 80 percent turnaround in better efficiency."
Williams's emphasis on simply filling potholes in a reasonable time--a basic task that in the past often was beyond the Department of Public Works's capability--has won the mayor fans across the city.
In Cleveland Park, Tersh Boasberg and his wife, Sally, watched for two weeks as a pothole on their street grew. The hole eventually got so huge that when cars hit it, hubcaps flew off. Finally, they decided to plow through the city's bureaucratic maze and report it. They made one call to the city's new main number. The operator took the location and gave Sally Boasberg a case number so she could track the complaint.
Six days later, the pothole was filled.
"It's a complete change," said Tersh Boasberg, a lawyer and chairman of the Committee of 100 on the Federal City. He said they did not give the operator his name or address.
"The thing that blew my mind was, there was a central number to call," said Boasberg, who backed Williams in last year's elections. "The person who answered the phone knew what she was doing. She gave us a computer tracking number and it was fixed. . . . There's no question in my mind that city workers are nicer, quicker."
But Public Works is still struggling in other areas. Peter Riddleberger, a retiree who lives in American University Park, said that when he complained about leaf pickup, he was told that it was 2 1/2 weeks behind.
Public Works Director Vanessa Dale Burns said the city collected 4,300 tons of leaves this season but fell behind in Wards 3 and 4 in Northwest. The city has 27 new leaf vacuums, but some arrived late, delaying pickups.
The city still has problems getting trash picked up on time, cleaning roads and alleys and fixing garbage trucks, Burns said. One day in recent weeks, as many as 17 of the city's 48 garbage trucks weren't working. The city has spent $1 million on new equipment, including 24 new alley sweepers, but residents won't see the impact until spring.
For the Department of Human Services, the largest D.C. agency, the good news has been the recent beginning of a multilingual referral service that is always open. Williams also kept promises to give welfare recipients financial aid for education and vocational courses, and to commit $52 million to community groups to manage welfare-to-work cases.
But the department faces huge problems.
There were contracting problems in the welfare-to-work program that led to the firing of a top DHS official. And a Washington Post probe found 350 documented cases of abuse and 116 unexamined deaths in group homes for the mentally retarded since 1993. The Post also found that the DHS had lost or concealed records on dozens of deaths in its group-home system.
Williams and his aides were taken aback by the mess at DHS. The mayor said he soon will propose "serious, substantial changes" for the agency.
Meanwhile, advocates for the homeless and the mentally ill say the mayor has much work to do. Patty Mullahy Fugere, executive director of the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, said her hopes soared when Williams, in his inaugural speech, said he wanted to "reweave the safety net" for the most vulnerable D.C. residents.
"But it hasn't played out as a priority for the mayor," she said. "One year into the Williams administration, we still have over 400 families on the waiting list to get into emergency shelters. I believe his commitment is genuine, but we haven't seen it acted on."
Williams agreed he needs to work on that, adding, "I'm glad the critics see my commitment."
The mayor has been frustrated with some of the most persistent problems in D.C. government because three troubled systems--the D.C. jail's mental health division, the D.C. Commission on Mental Health and Child and Family Services--operate under court-ordered receiverships because of massive problems in the past. The housing agency also has been run by a receiver, but it has improved and is on track to be returned to city authority.
Although he has a limited say in how the receiverships are run, Williams appointed a liaison to improve communication among the agencies.
"Cleaning the streets, putting in computers and answering the phones--these are the easy jobs," Omer said. "Helping our children, the elderly, the unemployed and taking them to a sustainable level--that will be the prize."
NEXT: The D.C. Council is eager to demonstrate that times have changed and that it is a major player in running the city.
YEAR ONE: MAYOR WILLIAMS AND THE DISTRICT'S 28 GOALS

It’s a brave new world out there, particularly when zero gravity makes everyone look like Nadia Comaneci. And while we may be years from an AFL club on the moon, who would have thought GWS would have made the launching pad?
1. Rocket Man (U)
IN SPACE no one can hear you scream (at the referee), which is perhaps a good thing when it comes to the passionate head space that the Manchester United faithful find themselves in from time to time. Which is possibly why this past week United's Jonathan Evans (left) and Ryan Giggs enjoyed some time at NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Houston. After touring the mission control centre, players Edwin van der Sar, Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Amos tried on an astronaut's spacesuit and inspected a full-scale mock-up of Space Shuttle Orbiter, which is used for astronaut training. ''To go inside the Mission Control Centre was fantastic and none of us could believe the size of the space shuttle,'' Giggs told the club website. ''It's something we'll remember for a long time.'' And while that trip was mainly designed to help boost Man United's profile in the US, perhaps the players could make a more substantial contribution to NASA's plans to ultimately develop space sports. ''Sometimes, you just develop them [sports in space] by happenstance,'' NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman recently told the website when describing how the menial task of filling water bags took on a whole new meaning. ''We started tossing them kind of like a medicine ball, and we realised that you could toss and catch and then go for a ride on this big thing as it takes you away.'' Given all the recent whingeing from soccer stars about the Jabulani World Cup ball, we can only imagine the stink if medicine balls were compulsory.
.
2. Pitch and roll
NASA'S Reisman has some form when it comes to promoting sport in space. The American famously tossed out the opening pitch for the team he supports, the New York Yankees, during a game against the Boston Red Sox back in April 2008. And while it's traditional for the opening pitch to be made in the centre, he had to be content with being beamed in on the big screen. As reported at the time, Reisman has spent years throwing baseballs in arcs to counter gravity and had to re-learn how to throw in a straight line for his big moment. NASA believes sport is key to ensuring healthy mind and body in a confined space and so astronauts use treadmills, bikes, basketballs, frisbee and even boomerangs. ''It definitely takes skill to be able to throw objects in space,'' said astronaut Peggy Whitson. ''Overcoming an opponent requires some skill. I think there'll be a lot of new games that they come up with.'' Meanwhile, technologists say athletes on earth have benefited from their work in space. NASA's latest electrolyte formula is a concentrated liquid that, when mixed with water, restores hydration and prevents fluid loss. It's now being sold on licence throughout the US as ''The Right Stuff''.
3. Shanked it
TO DATE, the sport with the highest profile in space has been golf. This is thanks mostly to the 1971 efforts of Alan Shepard who turned the Apollo 14 moon mission into the longest hole by smuggling aboard a makeshift club and golf ball. Shepard became the first man to hit a golf ball in space and estimated his tee shot to have travelled between 200 and 370 metres. Given allowances for lower gravity the distance travelled is perhaps shorter than you would expect, but then would Tiger Woods still tear up the course while wearing a space suit? Shepard's feat had a sequel in November 2006 when Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin - thanks to a wad of cash from a Canadian golf firm - hit a ball with a gold-plated six iron while space walking outside the International Space Station. Despite shanking his shot, Tyurin set a new record for the longest drive in history. ''It went pretty far. It was an excellent shot. I can still see it as a little dot that's moving away from us,'' he said. If only the rest of us weekend hackers had such bragging rights.
4. Vroom to move
FORMULA one cars may not be so efficient in space - despite what this promotional shot from Honda would have you believe - but that hasn't stopped NASA from pumping money into new forms of motor sport. Back in 2007, NASA encouraged a competition for teams to build and fly a small plane that could one day be a planet-cruising ''air car''. NASA has also done the same for terrestrial vehicles that could one day tackle the sands of Mars. The winner of the air race was a Slovenia-built aircraft flown by an Australian pilot, Michael Coates, who at this stage is not as well known as Mark Webber, but may yet be considered a pioneer like Jack Brabham in the next ''space race''.
5. Floating dollar
THE ONE thing that will probably put a brake on sport in space is the cost. Then again, we do shuttle basketballers around the country for a national league! So for now, astronauts will have to be content with checking in as a novelty act, as in this live cross from the ISS to the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. And while the space station is set to be in orbit for some time yet, as the Greeks have recently discovered, when it comes to the economy, everything that goes up must come down.

- School | Conservation Camp
Post date:
Thu, October 4, 2018
On September 6, 2018, Abingdon Elementary third graders attended Conservation Camp at Sugar Hollow Park.
This is an annual event sponsored by Keep Bristol Beautiful and the Bristol Chamber of Commerce. Students participated in activities such as river, soil and water conservation, conservation Jeopardy, the effects of littering, runoff pollution, food chains, life cycles, and more. When students were asked about their favorite activity, they responded by saying that they enjoyed making a life size food web and classifying stream creatures. Many students expressed an interest in forestry and conservation careers. Students also enjoyed a picnic lunch, seeing friends from area schools and time on the playground.

Acral Lentiginous Melanoma
80 y/o male patient from a developing country in Asia with a 2 yr history of pigmented lesions on his thumb. Diagnosis: Acral Lentiginous Melanoma (ALM). The patient presented at Stage 4 with liver metastases. ALM is the most common type of melanoma in dark-skinned and Asian populations. This is because the frequency of other types of melanoma is low in these patients, not because the incidence of ALM is any higher than in white people. Median age at diagnosis is 50 years. The thumb and big toe are more frequently involved than other digits. ALMs demonstrate a junctional growth pattern and have indistinct margins. The lesion often extends laterally far beyond the clinically apparent margin. Over time, a vertical (invasive) growth phase develops. Periungual hyperpigmentation and Hutchinson's sign (dark pigment under the nail extending to involve the adjacent nail fold) is an ominous sign suggesting melanoma in the nail matrix. The early changes of ALM may be light brown and uniformly pigmented. Over time, the lesion becomes darker and nodular and may ulcerate. Metastases to the epitrochlear and axillary nodes are common, because the diagnosis is often delayed. Subungual melanoma may be misdiagnosed as onychomycosis, verruca vulgaris, chronic paronychia, subungual hyperkeratosis, etc. Images and comment courtesy of: Josette McMichael, MD, Adj Asst. Professor, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA. Used with permission.

Atypical Adenomatous Hyperplasia : Lung
Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) is believed to be the preinvasive lesion for at least a subset of lung adenocarcinomas. It harbors the same driver mutations in KRAS and EGFR as lung adenocarcinomas. Since the diagnosis is established only after the lesion has been removed, the progression to adenocarcinoma-in-situ or invasive adenocarcinoma has not been documented. It is a counterpart of squamous dysplasia. AAH is small localized lesion usually less than or equal to 0.5 cm (size is not an absolute criterion). It consists of mild to moderately atypical type II pneumocytes or Clara cells lining the alveolar walls. One such focus is seen in the center of this image.

Vacuum cleaners glossary
Need to know your hepa filter from your mini turbo tool? Read our glossary of terms for everything you need to know about vacuum cleaner terminology. see reviews of great vacuum cleaners? Join Which? and access all our expert reviews and Best Buys.
A
Accessories for vacuum cleaners.
B
Bagless
Bagless vacs trap dirt inside a canister, that you then empty yourself into a bin. This saves you on the hassle and cost of replacing bags. On the down side, bagless vacs tend to have smaller dust capacities than bagged models. Emptying a bagless vacuum cleaner can be a messy job, potentially making them a bad choice for those with allergies.
Bagged
Bagged vacs tend to have bigger dust capacities than bagless vacs. The average upright bagged vacuum will hold around 4.2 litres of dust – but bagless upright vacs hold an average of 2.6 litres, considerably smaller. Bagged vacuums are cleaner to empty as you just throw the bag straight in the bin.
Bags
Vacuum cleaner manufacturers usually recommend buying replacement bags sold under their own brand names. But you can also buy bags – especially from online shops – from third-party suppliers, such as Airflo, Unifit and Vivanco. These companies make the 'official' bags for some vacuum cleaner manufacturers as well as providing their own-branded alternatives. Generally, you're unlikely to see much difference. But the Which? tests show some alternative bags tended to let small particles of dust escape, which might mean you'd need to change the vacuum cleaner's filters more often.
C
Cable length
If you have a large area to vacuum in your home, it's worth looking at this as it gives you a wider area to vacuum in
Capacity
The size of a cylinder or vacuum bag determines how much dust it can hold. Manufacturers often specify this, but it’s not always the same as measured. The average vacuum cleaner has a capacity of between two and three litres, but the recommended maximum fill level or the amount of dust a cleaner can actually hold before suction decreases may be far less.
Combination tools
The Swiss army knife of vacuuming. These kind of tools combine ca furniture brush, with a crevice tool and upholstery tool.
Cord rewind
Featured on cylinder vacuums, the mains cord is withdrawn into the body of the cleaner after use. This allows for compact storage.
Cordless vacuum cleaners
These are similar to upright vacuum cleaners in many ways, but are smaller, more lightweight and cordless. This makes them flexible and ideal for cleaning small areas quickly. Most cordless vacuum cleaner won't pick up as much dirt as a normal vacuum cleaner, so won’t deep clean your carpets in the same way. Get a cordless vacuum that is as good as a corded vacuum cleaner by using our cordless vacuum cleaner reviews.
Crevice tools
These are useful add-ons that help you to vacuum in tight spaces and in corners
Cylinder vacuums
Cylinder vacuums can be light, have a long reach and are well suited for cleaning both stairs and hard-to-reach places. But they can be a pain to store away tidily and they're generally not as good at picking up pet hair as uprights
D
Dust retention
It’s great to have a vacuum with strong suction that picks up all the dust from your carpets, but you also need a vac to keep the dust in. We use specialist machinery to test how much dust and fine particles the vacuum cleaners can retain instead of back into your home.
E
Energy efficiency
Which? has tested a few vacuum cleaners claiming low energy use, and levels vary. Some recorded low levels in our test, others proved average. Vacuum cleaners need the power to clean floors and as yet we've not found a vacuum cleaner that balances excellent all-round cleaning with very low energy use.
Electrostatic shocks
You can get these from a vacuum cleaner if earthed surfaces are touched. Various factors determine the likelihood and severity of shocks, but the main factors that affect this are humidity, the kind of dust that's sucked in the material of the floor and the material of the shoes you're wearing. One way to reduce the likelihood of getting shocks would be to lie the handle or hose of the vac down on the floor at regular intervals to discharge any build up of static.
F
Filters
Vacuum cleaner filters can clog up and need cleaning or changing at least once a year. Spare filters are often included in replacement packs of bags.
Furniture brushes
These tools have a soft brush at the end to dust delicate surfaces. You can also use a furniture brush to clean keyboards.
H
Handheld
Handheld vacuum cleaners can help to keep car interiors clean and quickly pick up crumbs and mess around the house, getting into the gaps that a larger, heavier vac can't access. If you are interested in handheld vacuum cleaners, take a look at our handheld vacuum cleaner reviews.
Hepa filters
Hepa filters are designed to keep particles inside the vacuum and then emit air that is safe for allergy sufferers. Some machines with this feature are given approval by the British Allergy Foundation.
M
Mini Turbo Tool
These often come with vacs geared towards pet owners, such as Dyson's 'Animal' vacuums. Mini turbo tools have a small rotating brush that is powered by the air drawn into the vacuum. Mini turbo tools can be used to remove hair from places you can't use the main floor head, like sofas or upholstery.
N
Noise
Cylinder vacuum cleaners are usually quieter than upright models - but some models are significantly louder than others. We've registered decibel readings of 90 during our vacuum cleaner tests, that's equivalent to a symphony orchestra during loud passages. We give a star rating for each vacuum cleaner model according to how much noise it makes, so you don't get a nasty surprise the first time you use your new machine.
P
Pet hair pick up
Upright vacuum cleaners are generally better than cylinder vacuum cleaners at picking up pet hair, so if you've got a cat, dog or other animal this type of vacuum cleaner is probably a good choice for you.
In addition to our dust pick up tests on carpet and wooden and laminate flooring, we use real pet hair to assess each vacuum cleaner's pet hair pick-up.
R
Reach
A vacuum cleaner with a long cord and hose is handy for cleaning stairs, or if you're short of power sockets around the house, you'll be able to clean a larger area without having to unplug and find a nearer socket.
We’ve found a vacuum cleaner's reach can range in length from 6 to 15 metres – a big difference when tackling a large room.
Robot vacuum cleaners
Robots that vacuum while you take it easy have been around for several years, and more are coming with prices substantially cheaper than the first models.
S
Storage
Their long hoses make cylinder vacuum cleaners harder to store than uprights, but some cylinders now have a clip to attach the nozzle to the body so the hose stays upright.
S-Class filter
Another name for Hepa filters
T
Turbo brushes.
Telescopic tubes
Attachments that can be added to the cleaning tube, which help you reach into awkward corners or behind bulky objects.
U
Upholstery tools
These add-ons come with some vacuums to attach to the end of the hose for cleaning upholstered furniture.
V
Volume
The manufacturer may claim that a vacuum cleaner's capacity is greater than it really is. When we test vacs in our lab, we look at how much dust they really can hold - rather than how much space there is in the container.
Most of the vacs we've tested have a capacity of 2-4l, which we would call medium. A small capacity is under 2l and we'd consider a capacity of 4l or above to be large.
W
Wattage
This is often used as a selling point for vacs by manufacturers. But good performance is about design and suction, not how high the wattage is. High wattage doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get a better vacuum cleaner, but it does mean you’ll use more energy.

Steak Tacos Mexican Style with Celantro and onions!
Angela and getting our breakfast chow at 10:40am. Oh wait, Fall Back so I guess it is only 9:40.
Just knocked down two taco lunch. Delicious!
My family eats here every Sunday. The food is consistently fabulous, the owner and wait staff are friendly, and there is a reason we keep coming back week after week. It is our favorite restaurant in Waukesha!
Sorry for only one star, but you Changed your menu and I can understand the price going up to cover the cost of food going up. But the portion has gone down and the flavor is not as good as it used to be. I used to love this place. I feel sad having to say all this because the service is great and the people that work there are very nice. I don’t know what changed in the kitchen but it needs to go back to the way it was. Again I am sorry. Wish you the best.
This is our favorite restaurant. Great customer service and awesome food. Food comes out really fast and lover the decor and atmosphere have never had a bad experience yet. Parking is probably the only issue but not a major one.

A Hesperia man suspected in a string of retail store thefts committed the crimes while wearing firefighter or law enforcement attire, sheriff’s officials said.
San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies arrested Christopher Fulton, 31, on suspicion of burglary Wednesday after a deputy stopped his vehicle at the corner of La Paz Drive and Seventh Street in Victorville.
Investigators say Fulton was captured on surveillance video at Target and Walmart stores in the Victorville at least four times.
Detectives suspect he’s responsible for thefts at the same stores in Apple Valley, Hesperia and Victorville beginning in January, sheriff’s officials said.
He wore clothing depicting himself as a firefighter or a plain-clothes deputy with a badge and handcuffs on his hip.
His vehicle resembles an unmarked patrol car, sheriff’s officials said. He had stolen property in the vehicle, along with clothing he was wearing during the thefts.

A quick 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver's Horseshoe bay to Langdale on the
Sunshine Coast.
Then it's a scenic 50 minute drive North on the Sunshine Coast Highway.
The shop is right off the highway, so no turnoffs.
Heading North, You go past Gibson, then Sechelt and past both Redroof road turn offs.
I'm about 1km past Wood Bay Rd. but 10 mins before Madeira park.
You cannot see the shop till you drive up the driveway, so don't look for that.
Just look for the "Willgoose Wood" sign just past the big info billboards pullout.
Go past the house and up to the Shop.
On the way up, you might see "Rocket" the large black German shepherd with big fangs.

Blog 2015 May Drunk Driving and Other Charges Filed Against Maryland Man Previous Post | Next Post Drunk Driving and Other Charges Filed Against Maryland Man Posted By William R. Hall, ESQ || 20-May-2015 In 2014, a fatal car accident occurred in Maryland that resulted in the loss of one life and injuries to several others. The alleged drunk driving crash happened on December 12, 2014 in Mount Airy. The man suspected of causing the accident was recently brought before a Howard County grand jury. The 29-year-old man was handed an indictment in the aftermath of the deadly wreck on Shaffersville Road. He was reportedly driving the pickup truck that hit a tree, resulting in the death of his front-seat passenger. The truck carried three additional occupants, all of whom were transported to a trauma unit for emergency care. All three travelers were later released from the medical facility. According to police reports, the three passengers were ejected from the vehicle upon impact, possibly due to the fact that none were properly restrained with seat belts. The driver was arrested and set free on a $50,000 bond. He is now slated to face multiple charges in court. Maryland residents who are preparing to face similar drunk driving charges will want to ensure that their constitutional rights are protected and upheld throughout the process. Acquiring legal assistance from an experienced professional would most likely prove beneficial to someone preparing to face serious charges associated with a fatal motor vehicle accident. The consequences of an intoxicated driving or negligent homicide conviction can be substantial, and allowing a competent attorney to guide one through the process would most likely help a person achieve the best possible defense of his or her case.

Eastern State Penitentiary Today
In August 2016, Kathryn Doyle visited Eastern State Penitentiary, a site included on the 1996 World Monuments Watch.
Eastern State Penitentiary reflects the success that is possible in preservation and the potential in using preservation as a way to connect the past, present, and future. Like many historic places, Eastern State faces an ongoing need for conservation and the required resources, but its record of growth, expansion, and innovative educational initiatives signals an enduring legacy.
Eastern State remembers its past by highlighting the advances made there and by recognizing the shortcomings and unanticipated consequences of its plans for reformation. The tours, exhibits, and programming tell the story of the site’s origins and its architectural and historic significance as the world’s first true penitentiary. Rooted in the ideals of the Enlightenment and guided by the goal of improving society in the newly democratic United States, Eastern State was an early example of the Pennsylvania system. Designed to reform criminals through labor, reflection, and extreme isolation, this method was criticized by many as inhumane, forcing inmates at Eastern State to spend 24 hours of each day in solitary confinement.
One critic of the system was Charles Dickens, who, after visiting Eastern State in 1842, questioned the morality of solitary confinement in his American Notes for General Circulation. “I believe,” he wrote, “that very few men are capable of estimating the immense amount of torture and agony which this dreadful punishment, prolonged for years, inflicts upon the sufferers; and…I am only the more convinced that there is a depth of terrible endurance in it which none but the sufferers themselves can fathom, and which no man has a right to inflict upon his fellow creature.” As a result of criticisms like these, in addition to overcrowding, Eastern State gradually moved to a congregate system, officially discontinuing use of the Pennsylvania system in 1913. In 1971, the penitentiary closed its doors.
Equipped with the lessons from its past, Eastern State makes connections to today for its 300,000 annual visitors through artist installations, special exhibits, and an increasing focus on educational initiatives. The site elevates awareness and fosters discussion of contemporary issues in the criminal justice system, including mental health, racial inequality, and social justice concerns such as income disparity. The outdoor sculpture The Big Graph charts the growth of US incarceration rates since 1900, illustrates racial breakdown of the American prison population, and compares incarceration rates in every country in the world; with 2.2 million prisoners, the US has the highest rate by far. In 2016, Eastern State launched Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of Mass Incarceration as a companion piece to The Big Graph. Designed to encourage reflection, support dialogue, and elicit personal connections, the interactive exhibit examines how changes in laws, policing, and sentencing have contributed to such growth in US prisons, disproportionately impacting poor and disenfranchised communities.
By examining contemporary issues, Eastern State examines the world today and looks ahead to the future. Continued preservation efforts ensure the survival of the site for future generations, while also promoting the penitentiary’s role as a site of conscience. Challenging visitors to reflect on the suffering that Dickens wrote about in the past, and fostering conversation about difficult questions for the future, Eastern State encourages visitors to ask themselves, What do you want the future to be? What is your role in shaping the future?

We've all heard that the U.S. divorce rate is around 50 percent—but knowing this doesn't make it any less painful if you find yourself on the wrong side of those odds. Here's the good news: An unhappy marriage doesn't have to end in divorce. If at least one of you still has the desire to save the relationship, it can be done.
Couples counselors have seen thousands of clients on the brink of divorce—even some who've already filed papers—and successfully helped them navigate back to a happy place. Here, we asked two prominent couples therapists to share their best divorce-stopping tactics and lay out an action plan for couples on the verge of a split.
Step One: Accept Your Partner's Feelings
It's completely normal to feel panicked or defeated if your partner wants a divorce, but this doesn't mean that he or she won't come around. "In my marriage retreats, I frequently work with couples on the brink of divorce. One or both partners seem to have given up or arrive ambivalent about staying together," says therapist John Grey, Ph.D. "A surprising majority of times, when I help them get to the root of their issues, things turn around, they remember their love for each other, and they want to stay together." In order for you to allow that to happen, the first step in the process is to accept that your partner wants out. You are both entitled to your own feelings, and it's crucial to accept his or her position without trying to change it.
Step Two: Validate Your Partner's Feelings
While it might seem like the last thing you want to do, "Take responsibility. Approach your partner and validate why they're doing this," says therapist Rachel Sussman, LCSW. Keep it short and straightforward: "I get it. You feel that I haven't been supportive to you/I haven't been kind to you/I haven't been loving to you," suggests Sussman. "Although you might not agree, really validate that you understand from your partner's perspective why they're leaving the marriage. That's really powerful."
Step Three: Shut Down Your Reactive Brain
"People act worse, not better, when their primitive survival alarm is ringing," says Grey. "And there is nothing that rings our survival alarm louder than the threat of divorce." All of those mean things people say and immature things people do during a divorce "are governed by the primitive parts of our brain that operate without our permission during a threat," explains Grey. It's essential to recognize this fight-or-flight pattern in yourself and stop reacting. Your goal is to be the mature, kind, and loving person your partner fell in love with, not the anxious, angry person in survival mode.
Step Four: Retreat
When the person you love wants to walk away from the marriage, your natural inclination is probably to chase after him or her. But begging, pleading, and pursuing is exactly what you don't want to do in this case. Similar to how your partner's retreat triggers your pursuit, your pursuit will only make him or her want to leave more. So it's time for you to let go, step back, and do your own thing. "Don't get hysterical. That's a huge turnoff," warns Sussman. You must be calm. You must give your partner space. And you must act in a way that will allow him or her to miss you (translation: no yelling, no begging, no drama).
Step Five: Get to Work on Yourself
You may think this divorce is largely your partner's fault and have a list of things you'd like him or her to change—but the only thing you can control is yourself. In the end, you'll both need to change in order to be happy, so it's time for you to get to work on your end of the deal. "Back off and create a support system of friends and family for the time being," says Sussman. That means you call them—not your partner—when you feel weak or angry or desperate. "The idea is to show your partner that you've changed." So go back to yoga class, see a therapist on your own, visit old friends, or learn a new hobby. Focus on being the best you you can be, know that in doing so your partner will eventually notice.
Step Six: Reestablish Contact
Once you follow the first five steps, your partner will likely come around to some degree—even if it's just by agreeing to meet for coffee after a week or two of distance. Once you do meet again, focus on positive, happy interactions instead of getting to work on the relationship right away. Over time, once some of the pressure is removed and you're able to laugh and smile together again, you can assess whether you're both still interested in working things out.
Step Seven: Make New Ground Rules
First and foremost, "Stop threatening the relationship," urges Grey. "Promote motivation for change by saying, 'Let's stop threatening divorce and find our way back to the happiness we once had together.'" Next, continue to limit your reactive brain and focus on your partner's feelings. Your feelings are equally important, but you'll both need to learn to look out for one another. If you run into a squabble, "Say 'This is not one person's fault here. We both need to learn to communicate better so we can be happy together again,'" suggests Grey. And remember the most important phrase: "'I care how you feel,' which is what your partner probably doubts," says Grey.
Step Eight: Observe What Happens
"If you want a common theme of divorce, it's the inability to solve the problem [in a way] that both people feel satisfied with," says Sussman. Just because you're ready to do your part doesn't mean that your partner is. Remember, "What separates the boys from the men is being able to roll up your sleeves and work on the problem in an effective way," says Sussman. So watch what happens when you put in the effort and give your relationship 100 percent. Does your partner reciprocate after a few weeks or months? You can enlist a couples therapist to help the process along, but, "at the end of the day what we really want to say to ourselves is, did we try as hard as we can?" says Sussman. "If your partner doesn't come back, at least you can feel better about how you've handled yourself."

The author speaks of her childhood memories of a loved grandfather, a man in his 90s today, who has stories to tell — “Beta hamare zamane mein toh…”
When a tragedy hits your home’s shores, everyone starts circling in a whirlpool. I was thirteen when my father came down with jaundice. The devil had its claws dug deep into Papa, and made sure it sucked blood out of every family member. That small well-lit room of a government colony seemed dark as it was converted into a hospital room for him. He had a drip attached to his left hand and soaring temperature accompanied him all the time. Neighbors came to pay respects morning, noon and night, and whispers made way from the corridors to our ears.
“Tabiyat zyada kharab hai.” “Pata nahi recovery hogi bhi ya nahi.” It’s not the ailment but the behavior of others that takes one’s morale down. Some relatives bawled in front of my mother, as if there will be no tomorrow. Proposals were made to shift my younger sister and me to my Nani’s place so that we didn’t have to witness the plight of our father. But the rock in our home said, “Inhe kuch nahi hoga. Aise himmat nahi haari jaati.” This Savitri could fight any Yama for her Satyavan.
Check it out!
As the life of my father oscillated between the two worlds, an elderly man in our house rushed to a temple to seek HIS blessings. His son was in an appalling condition for days and he vowed to swear off meat for his offspring’s life. My father came out of dire straits facing a lot of difficulty, while my Babaji (grandfather) gave up meat with ease.
It was a small price for his children, but for the teenager in me, it was huge. “Ab aap kabhi chicken nahi khaogey?” I asked him few days later, as I gobbled a chicken leg piece. “Nahi.” He smiled as he kept consuming taraoi with the same love he had for meat once.
My ancestral home is in Allahabad while my father’s job made us reside in Kanpur. As kids, Sonam and I waited for our grandparents’ visit. Also with them came milk cake (sweet) that sweetened our taste buds as it melted in our mouth.
We were so fond of them staying with us that we even named the guest room of our tiny home – Dadi kamra. The room lacked space and adorned a single person diwaan, and every night we had to add a folding cot for them to sleep together. Due to the mosquito mesh placed on top, Babaji had to crawl his way on the bed. Those five seconds gave us such a thrill that Sonam and I used to jump while clapping “Babaji ghoda ban gaye!!”
That image is engraved in my heart, as those were simpler times, when all was about family time. Actually, at that phase of our life, we had time for naive memories. Today we recollect them when we catch a breath from our jam-packed convoluted schedule, but back then we lived them.
Sitting on a dining table, he once told the mini me, “Ye amle ki chutni khao aur uske baad thoda paani piyo.” I did as directed while he observed me. He then asked, “Ab kaise laga?” No sooner had the water touched my taste buds, than it left a lingering sweet taste. My eyes lit up and I reacted as a child is expected to. “Ye kaise hua? Ye toh meetha hai!”
He had a twinkle in his eyes, as he had concocted magic for his grandchild. Well, science came in much later with explanations; back then these were the moments.
Today the tables have turned, as he asked a few days back, “Ye flowers US se Allahabad kuch ghanto mein kaise aaye?” While in my case, scientific reasons came later than the childhood tricks, for him, Internet came much later in his lifetime.
In his time, he learnt to not only speak, but also read and write Urdu. While everyone at home rolled their eyes left to right while reading, he went the opposite way. That’s when I realized that Urdu is written and read from right to left, and he had inherited the art of reading this language since childhood. It was the court language of India and the man belonged to that era.
My grandfather worked for the Indian railways, so it always had a special place in my heart. The excitement of carrying the conventional train food (puri aloo and aachar) with a Milton camper is incomparable to the 200 rupees of lame samosa we get on an Indigo flight. The book station on the platform and the obsession for diamond comics were timeless. Ten rupees worth of Chacha Chowhdary made me eager to get on the train. How hard it was to control my fingers, from flipping it pages, on the platform while waiting for the train. I honored the promise made to self to savour each page, as the comic book had to last three hours of the train journey. With double the price, came special editions like “Chacha Chowdhary and Raka ka Intekaam” and it surely had double the thrill. When computer se tez dimaag chalane wale Chacha Chowdhary fell short to quench my insatiable thirst for comics, I advanced to Champak, as it had more words and less pictorial strips, and the best part – it came for Rs. 7.
On several occasions, we rented a car to cover the 200 kilometers between Kanpur and Allahabad. The tree canopy made the sun play peek-a-boo with our car roof while Lata and Rafi played in the background. Songs like “Aasman ke neeche hum aaj apne peeche” felt perfect analogy to the journey taken. Air-conditioned cars were not needed then, and we didn’t mind the wind play with our hair as we rolled down the car window. Stopping at Malwa to get pedas was a tradition and looking at the milestones to access kilometers covered a religion. “Mummy Allahabad bas 10 kilometers reh gaya hai” had abundant emotions piled in it.
On this September 04, he turned 90, and may I say how beautifully! The whole family met at the ancestral home to be with him. When I checked the friend list for the party, he recalled that none of his friends are now breathing, including his best friend – his wife (2012). The last five years have been the most difficult span of his life. You revere your significant half in your second childhood, and the one who is left behind, has to face the hardship. One can have the whole family next to him/her, but to have that soulmate missing makes all the difference. I remember how my grandparents used to sit in the same room doing their own stuff. Even in their silence the “ehsaas” of having a company was heartwarming.
When a person gets old he doesn’t demand anything from you other than your time. He wants to be heard. He wants company. He wants to be surrounded by his people. He wants to breathe in a familiar environment.
Although I try and spend time with him, the truth is that my marriage has brought me to Hyderabad. I hear his loneliness and ailment when I am with him, but the very next day I come back to my home, my husband, my child. Even when I make him the occasional phone call, I feel his unsaid words, but then an hour later I am drowned in my own world. Truth to be told, I do feel guilty for not being there. No matter what excuse I give, the fact is – I am not there to take care of him. There is only my Chacha’s daughter who could have got through any college after topping the district in 2015 but chose BHU instead, only to be close to Allahabad, close to him. But how I wish we were there, in the greener period, when it was just about family and quality time. When not only meeting someone was euphoric, but so was the voyage.
Today the flights have made the connection between two cities convenient, but for a 90’s kid, the connect was with a train or a car journey. Back then the journey was truly more enjoyable than the destination.
Once we reached Allahabad, not only did we see our grandparents but heard their stories, which took you to the world of ancient India. Well, the man was born in 1927. “Beta hamare zaamane mein ek aana bahut hota tha.” It was never about the aana, but always about the zamana. No matter how much we earn today, we urge to have more. No matter how much we accomplish, we are never satisfied. We talk about finding sukoon in one second, but in the very next second, we all turn back to continue being a part of the rat race.
Wo waqt aur tha, wo log aur they. We talk about them, but we don’t have the courage to live like them. Wo gum mein bhi khush they, and trust me, hum khushi mein bhi gum dhoond lete hain.
At times I can’t help but wonder, what will we hand over to our grandchildren? Technology? Sure. More explored career options? Yes. But what about the simple times, when we would begin a sentence with, “Beta hamare zamane mein toh…”

“If you do not provide peace in the Balkans, you cannot have global peace,” Hakan Cavusoglu told an event in Turkey’s northwestern province of Bursa.
“If the atmosphere of peace in the Balkans is lost, this would threaten the entire whole world,” he added.
Cavusoglu, who was born in Greece, said that Turkey’s view of the Balkans is that “all of our brothers and sisters should live there as first-class citizens”.
-New scholarships
Cavusoglu also said that new scholarships for Turkish citizens living and studying abroad would be provided by Turkey’s Foundations Directorate General.
He said that a bill to that effect would become law after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signs it.
The students "wouldn't need to come here, they would be studying" abroad, he added.
The deputy premier also said Turkish-origin Bulgarian and Greek citizens who enter Turkey up until Dec. 21 will be granted long-term residence permits.
The necessary work has been done and the legislation will go into effect in a couple of days, he added.

If you have age spots, Neova Skincare might be the answer...............the reviews look pretty impressive.
See the video below.......
Finding a skincare product that works to smooth and tone discolored skin from years of sunning
without adequate protection is a common problem.
This over-the-counter, non-prescription skincare treatment was tested on The Doctors' show and the results looked promising. See video below:
According to Dr. Ordon, he's not sure exactly how it the total repair works.........but believes it has to do with inhibiting free radical damage.
The manufacture states that DNA damage is what causes wrinkles, age spots, laxity, and enlarged pores..
And it does this without using questionable chemical lighteners like hydroquinone.
Hydrquinone is prescription topical chemical used to
reduce hyperpigmentation and has been banned in some countries in
Europe. There is some question over its safety and that maybe it might
have some carcinogenic properties and other side effects.
Powerful Delivery For Better Results
All of the ingredients are liposome encapsulated -- this means they have a special delivery system engineered to better
penetrate the epidermal cells to enhance DNA repair for
ultimate results.
Better penetration can result in better results.
Basically, the majority of those who have tried Neova DNA Total Repair saw a reduction in the appearance of age spots, discoloration, and fine lines.
How do you use it?
The Neova skincare is not just for the face, don’t forget your neck, chest, and the top of your hands.
Leave Neova Skincare and return to Best Anti-Aging Cream
Or return Home for other anti-aging tips and!

Vanderbilt, according to the people familiar with the matter.
The administration then would move forward with the rezoning of the rest of Midtown East, in a process that would include more community consultation. That effort would be led by City Council member Daniel Garodnick, who represents the area, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, people familiar with the matter said.
In the final days of his administration, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg withdrew a proposal for Midtown East to allow about a dozen new office towers. It had drawn vigorous opposition from community leaders, including Mr. Garodnick, who said the administration was moving too quickly. By carving out the least controversial project before broader changes are considered, Mayor Bill de Blasio is trying to avoid the political problems Mr. Bloomberg faced with Midtown East.
SL Green, which owns the block bounded by Vanderbilt and Madison avenues and by East 42nd and East 43rd streets, is in talks with Canadian financial firm Toronto-Dominion Bank about leasing a large amount of space at One Vanderbilt.
The new tower and other developments in the area would still have to seek approval from the City Planning Commission and City Council to build to the maximum height allowed under the new zoning rules, according to the people familiar with the matter. The decision would be based partly on the quality of transportation improvements that developers promise to make, the people said.
Administration officials are in the final stages of consulting with community leaders, real-estate interests and local politicians about the proposal. A formal announcement could come as early as Friday, according to the people familiar with the matter.
The rezoned area would also include former Metropolitan Transportation Authority sites at 341, 345 and 347 Madison Avenue, according to a person familiar with the matter. It also includes Yale Club of New York City, which occupies a 22-story neoclassical building.
Under changes initially proposed by the Bloomberg administration, Vanderbilt Avenue would have been made into a pedestrian plaza. Under the new proposal, the pedestrian area would cover just the portion of the avenue between 42nd and 43rd streets, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Under the Bloomberg proposal, the densest development would have been in the area immediately surrounding Grand Central, including Vanderbilt.
At an event last week hosted by the Citizens Budget Commission, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development Alicia Glen said that within a couple of weeks the administration planned to announce a time frame for the rezoning. She said the administration wanted to allow time to create consensus around the proposal, which would like take a year or two.
But she also said it was working with SL Green to ensure the developer's project can proceed in a timely way.
"And that's a project that they also have identified a very high quality tenant that we would very much like to see come to New York. And so we're actively in discussions with them, with Councilman Garodnick and the planning department about how that can move forward to meet the timeline of that," she said.
Stephen Green, chairman of SL Green, is a prominent political donor in the city who gave money in the 2013 election to mayoral candidates Christine Quinn, Bill Thompson and Anthony Weiner. He also donated to Mr. Garodnick. He didn't give money to Mr. de Blasio's campaign, according to campaign-finance records.

Cazalot to Lead Techstars Boston, Wants to "Energize" Local Community
The first thing to know about Clément Cazalot is that he is French. The second thing is that he co-owns a new French restaurant in Boston’s South End, called Frenchie. It has a killer wine list and excellent food, based on a recent visit.
The tech startup community will also want to know that Cazalot has just been named managing director of Techstars Boston. That’s the startup accelerator program that came to town in 2009, from Boulder, CO. The local program is finishing up its 2017 session with a demo day today.
Cazalot’s will be the fourth “regime” of the Boston program, following those of Shawn Broderick (the inaugural director), Katie Rae and Reed Sturtevant, and Semyon Dukach, who has been at the helm since 2014.
Dukach says his last Techstars class stands out for a few reasons. Half the companies are led by women. Half of them have immigrant founders. And five of the startups have already raised outside venture rounds. Now Dukach is passing the torch to Cazalot, who has spent some time shadowing him for the past four months.
Techstars founder and CEO David Cohen once said that “past operators and founders with real experience make the best managing directors.” Cazalot is no exception to that criteria, and he was already a close member of the Techstars family.
Cazalot moved from Paris to Boston with his startup, docTrackr, to go through Techstars Boston in 2012. DocTrackr, which made document-security software, raised money from investors including Atlas Venture (now Accomplice) and Polaris Partners. It was acquired by enterprise software firm Intralinks for $12.5 million in 2014.
Cazalot served as vice president of technology there until this week. He was in charge of engineering, product design, and new products for a team of nearly 1,000 people. Intralinks was publicly traded—headquartered in New York with an office in Waltham, MA—and was acquired by Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ: SNCR) for $820 million-plus last December.
That’s when Cazalot made his move. He and his wife—with whom he opened the restaurant in January—both grew up in the south of France. Why they put up with the Boston weather, I have no idea, but Cazalot decided to double down on the local tech ecosystem. He has been making angel investments recently, so a transition to venture investing and mentoring seems natural.
Over a lunch of escargots, Brussels sprouts, tartine, and a burger (eaten with hands in non-French style), Cazalot talks about his motivations and early goals with the program. First of all, the focus is all on Boston entrepreneurship. “I want to try to re-energize the community,” he says.
Cazalot is well aware of the perception that Boston tech is in a lull at the moment—and that some venture investors are looking elsewhere for hot companies. He’s also aware of Boston’s old-guard, academic culture; for a city with so many young people, it can be surprisingly hard to gain credibility with the establishment (my words, not his).
So, he’s looking to turn all of that on its head. Cazalot, who is 28 and grew a beard early in his career to be taken more seriously, wants to use his youth to his advantage. “Five years ago, I was in the trenches,” he says of the early-stage founder lifestyle. “The best advice I got was from other [Techstars] alumni who were still in operating roles. I know what it’s like to go to a restaurant and choose the cheapest wine, get the shittiest salad, and say you’re on a diet.”
Still, being close to one’s founder peers doesn’t mean it’s easy to choose the best companies. For now, he’s keeping the criteria broad in terms of sector. Cazalot’s background is in cryptography and security software, but he says he won’t show a preference for those types of companies. He’ll consider consumer tech as well as enterprise-focused startups. He wants to find very early-stage “diamond in the rough” startups, he says. The key is they have to get value from Techstars’ network and mentorship, and they should be committed to staying in Boston, if possible. (This is an issue for any accelerator, as companies may move for the program and then depart.)
Cazalot also has plans to reach out to Boston businesses, investors, and universities. He wants to “build bridges, but also walk them.” That means developing relationships with “other ecosystems that are also entrepreneurial,” he says, and avoiding the tech-bubble echo chamber that’s easy to fall into as a tech investor. The restaurant and food-service industry would be an obvious example; Cazalot’s experience there may help keep him grounded in the realities of physical products, logistics, and customers.
Cazalot’s first Techstars session won’t begin until next January. That should give him plenty of time to build his team and network of mentors, get the lay of the startup/accelerator land, and make his company selections. He notes that Techstars Boston alumni companies account for some 1,000 jobs in the area—which makes for a rich pool of potential mentors to tap. “Those are executives who can help,” he says. “They know their industry.”
Dukach, for his part, calls Cazalot “balls-to-the-wall aggressive.” And he seems bullish on the overall future of Techstars and its network of companies, saying “there are more and more alumni, and it seems to be getting stronger.”
Dukach hasn’t said much publicly about what he’s doing next. But he plans to raise a new venture fund specifically to back immigrant founders (like Cazalot, for example). More on this next chapter soon.

The percentage of Americans who say they’ve never listened to a podcast is steadily shrinking, but it’s still pretty large — 67 percent, according to a 2015 survey by Edison Research and Triton Digital. I’m going to assume for a minute that you’re in this uninitiated group. You know what podcasts are, and you’re vaguely aware that everyone’s been talking about a show called Serial. But you’ve never had time to figure out how to listen to podcasts, and you don’t know what’s out there to listen to.
This article is for you.
First off: if you don’t know how to download and listen to a podcast, just watch this amusing video from Ira Glass and his neighbor Mary. It’s only three minutes long.
Okay, now you’re ready to go. But finding good stuff to listen to is a little harder. That’s mainly because the world of audio programming is still being roiled by technological change and a burst of new talent and formats. There’s been little or no decline in the audience for terrestrial radio (that’s just a retronym for standard AM or FM broadcasts). But since 2005, when Apple added podcasts to iTunes and the New Oxford American Dictionary named “podcasting” as the word of the year, audio creators have been launching hundreds of new podcast-only shows each year, in genres ranging from talk to longform narrative storytelling to comedy. That means there’s a show for every niche and interest.
I’ve been expanding my own podcast listening diet lately, so I thought it might be fun and useful to share my current list with Xconomy readers. If there’s time in your day that you usually fill with music or terrestrial radio—say, when you’re commuting, exercising, cooking, or doing housework—then consider trying one of these shows instead.
I made one of these lists once before, back in 2014. Some of the shows I listed then are still among my favorites. But there are also a bunch of new additions, mainly because of what one analyst has called the Serial Effect. The blockbuster success of the This American Life spinoff has cleared the way for the emergence of commercial and non-profit podcasting networks like Radiotopia, Gimlet Media, Panoply, and Earwolf. We’re truly in the midst of a golden age for audio creators and listeners.
The list below includes every podcast to which I’m currently subscribed. I mainly listen using the Podcasts app baked into Apple’s iOS. There are plenty of other good ways to get podcasts on your iOS or Android device, including Stitcher, Overcast, and soon, Google Play Music.
99% Invisible — Roman Mars’ awesome show about architecture and design. My favorite podcast of all time.
Benjamen Walker’s Theory of Everything — Reliably quirky and provocative.
Criminal — Phoebe Judge’s extremely artful show about real-life crime stories and the imprint crime leaves on victims and perpetrators.
Ctrl-Walt-Delete — Banter on the latest computers and media gadgets from Walt Mossberg and Nilay Patel at The Verge.
Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History — Super-long and rambling but fascinating lecture/essays about history.
DecodeDC — Everything you always wanted to know about our dysfunctional Congress, from former NPR Capitol Hill reporter Andrea Seabrook.
Esquire Classic Podcast — A great new show that explores (and recreates) famous longform articles from Esquire. Start with “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold.”.
StartUp — Season 1 of this show chronicled the launch of Gimlet Media, the podcasting company started by This American Life alum Alex Blumberg. Season 2 is about a different startup. Both seasons offer compelling insights into the travails of startup founders.
The Story Collider — In the style of The Moth Radio Hour, this podcast collects true stories told live on stage, except that they’re all about science.
Song Exploder — An ingenious Radiotopia show in which host Hrishikesh Hirway persuades musicians to explain how they wrote, recorded, and assembled their songs. Guests have included Bjork, Wilco, and the Magnetic Fields.
Studio 360 — The podcast version of the erudite WNYC show on culture and the arts, hosted by writer Kurt Andersen, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Spy magazine.
Talking Machines — An independent podcast about machine learning. While it’s aimed at an audience of specialists, this is a good example of a show that uses interviews to convey the excitement of a important (but niche) subject.
This American Life — No explanation necessary. In the world of nonfiction audio storytelling, this is the show that started it all.
Transistor — A STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) series from PRX, focusing on stories from and about women scientists, produced mainly by new and emerging audio creators.
The Truth — Under the tagline “movies for your ears,” The Truth offers highly produced, 10- to 20-minute fiction stories.
Us & Them — I’ve been listening to this insightful show from West Virginia Public Radio partly because it’s edited by my friend and colleague Ibby Caputo. It’s about cultural divides and how we can bridge them.
Welcome to Night Vale — Hard to describe. Think Twin Peaks meets The X-Files meets A Prairie Home Companion.
Of course, there are hundreds of other shows to choose from. You can probably tell that I have a preference for highly produced podcasts that focus on non-fiction and narrative storytelling, with a bias toward shows about culture, technology, or science. Talk shows and comedy shows don’t usually float my boat.
Obviously, a few of the shows above are produced primarily for terrestrial NPR stations and distributed later as podcasts. On top of the podcasts above, I’ve just subscribed to Science Vs, Surprisingly Awesome, Lore, Scene on Radio from the Center for Documentary Studies, and Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, but haven’t had time to listen yet.
How do I have time to track all of these shows, you might ask? Mainly, I listen when I’m on my daily run and when I’m walking to and from work. That adds up to a couple of hours a day of listening time. And I don’t keep up with all of these podcasts religiously—for some shows, there are quite a few unplayed episodes waiting for me. I confess I’m getting to the point where I feel like for every new show I add to my queue, I should probably delete one of the older ones where my interest has waned.
Next on my to-do list, I’m going to go to iTunes and leave ratings for all of these shows. Other than listening and contributing financially, that’s the single most important thing listeners can do to help the boom in great, story-driven, creator-led podcasts continue.

Free agent Rudy Gay has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal to re-sign with the San Antonio Spurs, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
After declining his $8.8 million player option for next season, Gay negotiated a new deal to remain with the Spurs. Gay played a critical role in his first year with the Spurs, reviving his career after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in January 2017. He averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per game last season.
Gay, 31, has played 12 NBA seasons for Memphis, Toronto, Sacramento and San Antonio. He has averaged 17.9 points and 5.9 rebounds for his career.

John Franklin III, a former quarterback at East Mississippi Community College — which played host to the popular Netflix show “Last Chance U” — has found a home in the NFL.
Franklin agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bears on Sunday, he announced on Twitter. SB Nation’s Alex Kirshner confirmed the news, reporting that Franklin signed a rookie deal with the Bears as a defensive back/kick returner — marking yet another position change for the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native.
Chi Town for a new home . I love it
— John Franklin III (@jf3_5) May 13, 2018
The agent for Last Chance U’s John Franklin III says Franklin signed a rookie contract with the Bears as a DB/KR.
Franklin worked out there this weekend. His camp had thought it had a deal with the Seahawks immediately following the draft, which I reported. He’s a Bear now.
— Alex Kirshner (@alex_kirshner) May 13, 2018
Franklin played at East Mississippi Community College in 2015 when the popular Netflix series followed the team. He threw for 733 yards and seven touchdowns in the Lions’ nine-game season in 2015, and was the No. 23 junior college recruit after that year.
Franklin then transferred to Auburn for the 2016 season. He ran for 430 yards and two touchdowns as the Tigers’ backup quarterback, throwing for 204 yards and a touchdown. He transferred to Florida Atlantic for his final season last year and switched positions to wide receiver. He caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown for the Owls.

Synthroid is a synthetic medical analogue of hormone of the thyroid gland. It contains the active ingredient levothyroxine sodium which influences on the development and growth of tissues after partial metabolism in liver and kidneys and also improves metabolism.
The pharmacological characteristics of Synthroid are used in the medical practice to lower tumor of the thyroid gland and prevention of diseases caused by the hormone deficit of the thyroid gland.
In therapeutic doses, Synthroid regulates metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates, changes oxidation process in mitochondria, so that the body begins to better digest the fatty tissue. The use of Synthroid improves resistance of the central nervous system and stimulates the work of the cardiovascular system.
Indications for the use
Synthroid is used during pathological processes in the body which are caused by the hormone deficit in the thyroid gland.
- Prevention and treatment of euthyroid diffuse goiter
- Congenital dysfunction of the thyroid gland
- Low mental and physical activity in the setting of hypothyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Prevention of relapses of nodular malignant tumors of thyroid gland after surgery
In what dose is Synthroid taken?
The dosage of Synthroid depends on the intensity of a disease and age of a patient. The treatment should be started from low doses and the dosage of Synthroid is gradually increased in order to achieve the optimal therapeutic effect. The dose is increased every 2-3 weeks during which changes of the thyroid gland and metabolic processes are controlled.
- If hypothyroidism, the initial dose of Synthroid is 25-100 mcg per day
- The maximal dose is 250 mcg per day for the treatment of hypothyroidism
- The maintaining dose in the medical therapy of bronchocele is 100-200 mcg of Synthroid per day
- After oncotomy of the malignant tumor of the thyroid gland, Synthroid is prescribed in the dose of 150-300 mcg per day
- The daily dose of Synthroid is taken once, in the morning, before, or after eating.
Synthroid dosage for children:
- Children under 1 year are recommended to use 6-10 mcg of Synthroid per 1 kg of the body weight
- Children at the age of 1-5 are recommended to take 5-6 mcg per 1 kg of the body weight
- Children at the age of 6-12 are prescribed Synthroid in the dose of 4-5 mcg per 1 kg of the body weight
Recommendations for the use
- Do not use Synthroid during hyperfunction of the thyroid gland
- In case of the acute myocardial infarction and also people with failure of the adrenal cortex Synthroid is contraindicated
- Synthroid can be used during pregnancy, however, a woman should be examined by doctor regularly and control a development of fetus. In case of the potential danger of the pathology development, the treatment is ceased.
- Patients with diabetes should take Synthroid with high caution because its action lowers therapeutic activity of insulin and hypoglycemic medicines
Overdose
In case of overdose, a patient experiences increased level of the thyroid gland hormones and there is a chance of thyroid crisis. This is the most dangerous condition for human which can cause an acute heart failure and affection of the central nervous system.
The appearance of the overdose symptoms with Synthroid (tremor, tachycardia, pain in the chest, nervous agitation, fever, vomiting, and psychosis), it is necessary to stop the treatment and turn to a medical provider for the symptomatic treatment of the thyroid crisis.

ED must prove he is not interfering with Zec: Mawarire
Activist and pastor, Evan Mawarire (pictured) has challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa to prove through actions that he is not interfering with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) to ensure a Zanu PF win in the July 30 elections.
The #ThisFlag founder is contesting the Mt Pleasant council Ward 17. He caught up with NewsDay’s Chief Reporter, Everson Mushava (ND) during an MDC Alliance protest march against Zec on Wednesday, where he spoke about his exasperation with the electoral body and below are the excerpts
ND: You are not part of the MDC Alliance, What demands are pertinent to you that have forced you to show solidarity with the Nelson Chamisa-led group?
EM: The demands that I think are pertinent are that Zec should organise a free and fair election. The first issue is the voters’ roll. According to the law, it was supposed to come out with pictures, but Zec released one without. Zec was petitioned by political parties that they wanted to observe the printing of the ballot papers, but the parties were not afforded the opportunity. We also have observed that there is information that is being given to other parties while others are denied the same. Why are they being given the information? The information should be confidential. So we can see Zec is not playing free and fair. We are not going to have free and fair elections. That is why we are here. The issue here is not about a single political party. It’s everyone’s concern to preserve democracy.
ND: Don’t you think that your demonstrations are coming a little bit late? According to the law, you cannot challenge the voters’ roll 30 days before an election.
EM: Yes the law says if the election date is proclaimed, nothing will change. There is also no law which prohibits us from protesting. It is our right which we should enjoy and it will show Zec that the people have seen what they are doing. We cannot keep quite when our votes are being stolen. We are here to bolster people’s power so that when it happens, we will always protest again and tell the international world that we had the concerns.
ND: You led a popular social movement against former President Robert Mugabe. You welcomed the coming of the new dispensation and some of your critics said you were a Mnangagwa project. Now you are in the street against Zec and Mnangagwa, what message do you think this gives to the people out there?
EM: People easily think that building the country is a responsibility of a single person. I started this as an individual and many people joined. If I keep quiet it doesn’t mean I have joined those I opposed. I still stand against injustice, the oppression of the masses. If the current government oppresses the will of the people, as it is trying to do using Zec, I won’t keep quite. I always support the people; I will never support the oppressor.
ND: What message do you have for President Mnangagwa?
EM: I think if the President really wants to have an election that is free and fair, he has a chance to be able to have the election to be held freely without interfering with Zec. He should stop intimidation of the people in rural areas and not close the public media against opposition parties. As President, he has the power to open up the space, but he hasn’t done that. My message to him is that, show that you are a free and fair man, with actions, not words. Do what needs to be done, leave Zec alone, do not militarise Zec, if he loses, as he promised, he should step down with all those around him.
ND: You said leave Zec alone to Mnangagwa; do you think there is collusion between Zec and Zanu PF?
EM: I think that there is collusion between Zec and Zanu PF and one of the reasons why I am saying that. If you look at the issue of text messages from Zanu PF to thousands of people, you know that information is coming from Zec because they are the ones with the database.
The second thing is Zanu PF is not complaining about Zec. Surely, if Zec was doing things independently, there is no was there can be happy with everything that Zec does.
For me it makes me there is collusion and there have access of giving instructions to Zec.

"Why Did You Leave?" Videos
Lyrics
Verse
I came home today and found that you were gone.
Please talk to me as I'm not sure what I've done.
I tried to phone but got only the hung up tone.
I came to find youI went to your ma's and your dad's
They told me that you were mad and that you didn't love me any more.
Chorus
I've written you this note as there's something that I have to say.
I love youthere must be a better way.
Please give me another chanceI promise that I'll try.
Please don't leave again I swear there'll be no more lies.
I need you foreverwithout you I'm sure I'll die.
Whywhy did you leave for without you I cannot breathe.
Whywhy did you leave for without you I cannot breathe.
Verse
Talk to me babe as I don't know what I've done wrong.
Talk to me babe as without you I'm no way as strong.
I love you forever I know it didn't always show.
Please don't leave me honey we can give it another go.
Please don't leave me I need you and that I'm sure.
Chorus
I've written you this note as there's something I have to say.
I know it don't seem like it but I loved more each day.
Give us another chanceI promise that I'll try.
Please don't leave me I swear they'll be no more lies.
If you leave again all I wanna do is die.
Whywhy did you leave for without you I cannot breathe.

Feisty females who “act like men” in the workplace annoy their staff and achieve less, according to experts at the University of London.
A new study has found that being ballsy in the boardroom doesn’t do female managers any favours, with staff less likely to co-operate to get results.
In fact, researchers say that women who “emulate aggressive male models” would achieve more at work by drawing on typical female qualities of sensitivity and good communication.
Professor Paula Nicolson, from the University of London, said women who behaved like their male counterparts were getting it wrong: “It’s almost like women feel they must ‘act like a man’ and overly develop traits often associated with power-hungry City traders.
“This is understandable, because previously leaders have been male.
“But women’s leadership style ought to come into its own when dealing with people and displaying skills in communication, judgement, sensitivity and psychological insight – all traits needed to be a good leader.”
Researchers analysed the management styles of senior professionals within five NHS hospitals, but say their findings could be applied to any profession.

It’s Restaurant Week again and as usual, I went into a rabid booking frenzy when seats were released. It’s not like I have the time to eat 4 Restaurant Week meals but guess I’m still a true blue Singaporean at heart, scared to lose out when there’s a queue. So while I had rather hard-to-get reservations at Basilico, Brasserie les Savuers and Keystone Restaurant over the course of the week, I had to drop them all, leaving me with just a sole lunch date at the highly acclaimed Equinox @ Swissotel.
Just a bit of advice from me. While the goal of Restaurant Week is to allow would-be diners to sample restaurants’ offerings at more affordable prices, not all restaurant week menus are value for money, so it pays to do some basic research first. For example during the Oct 2012 installment of restaurant week, I actually noted a restaurant that charged $40++ for their restaurant week lunch menu, which was just a truncated version of their normal set lunch menu, meaning diners had to pay more for less choices of appetizers, mains and desserts! Thankfully, that same restaurant isn’t guilty of that this time around (but that’s because they increased the price of their normal set lunch).
Equinox is probably one of the more value for money restaurant participants for restaurant week as the restaurant week menu ($40++) doesn’t deviate much from their usual set lunch ($59++). Their lunch menu comes in the form of a semi-buffet, meaning that appetizers and desserts are buffet style while diners can order 1 main (from 3 choices) off the menu.
Given that my expectations of the buffet was along the lines of a salad bar in Pizza Hut (I do exaggerate sometimes), I was pleasantly surprised by the spread. There were appetizers like Shrimp Cocktail, Cold cuts, Proscuitto, Mediterranean dips like Hummus and Baba Ganoush, Smoked Salmon, Roast Duck Salad, Chilled Seafood (Fresh Oysters, Chilled Crabs, Clams, Mussels & Prawns), Sashimi (Salmon & Tuna), Assorted Sushi (featuring interesting ones like Hokkigai aka Surf Clam Sushi and Herring Sashimi) and unlike some buffets where the food is left in the open for long periods of time, I noticed that food refills here were carried out fairly regularly which is a good sign.
The dessert and cheese line was pretty decent too. Apart from an assortment of cakes, there’s also the chocolate fondue fountain and Ice Cream!
The sushi with bright yellow roe at the bottom of the plate is a Herring Sashimi, something not so commonly found at buffets.
M liked the Watermelon with Feta (plated on the small saucer below) so much that she took 5 servings of it.
There were 3 choices of mains available from the restaurant week lunch menu.
M got the vegetarian option of Wild Mushroom Raviolo with Vegetable Linguine & Mushroom Dressing. Raviolo is simply an oversized Ravioli and this one was filled almost entirely with Mushrooms that tasted excruciatingly sour from the excessive use of vinegar. The faux linguine made from grated vegetables didn’t help alleviate much of M’s suffering either.
I didn’t try the Pan-seared Barramundi with Sauteed Green Beans, Shitake Mushrooms & Herb Broth but G didn’t have any complaints about it.
For myself, the choice of main was a simple one, the Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Curried Sweet Potato, Roast Onion & Zucchini in Cider Sauce. It was the most unhealthy dish I could find on the menu and going by my assumption of equivalent exchange, this would prove to be the most tasty dish.
While it’s probably the best imo of the 3 mains available, it fails to impress, falling short by quite a bit relative to some of the Roasted Pork Bellies I have had. The meat wasn’t as tender as expected and slightly on the dry side. Didn’t favour the mash either since it was more chunky than smooth and the curry flavour didn’t complement the pork well.
For good roasted pork bellies, try Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar (which does it sous vide style) or Ember Restaurant (my favourite place for set lunch).
Just for restaurant week, diners can also opt to add on a Pan-seared Foie Gras for an additional $10, which I did. It didn’t turn out too well though as it was unsalted (intentionally as I clarified later) and overcooked, which saddened me a little especially since it was M’s first time trying Foie Gras and I always believed that your first time is supposed to be special. Shall bring her to somewhere with decent foie gras next time to atone for this atrocity.
Sadly the pretty desserts didn’t taste as good as they looked. The more palatable ones include the Creme Brulee and the light Ivory Dome White Chocolate Cake.
Coffee/tea is included within the set lunch and Equinox uses TWG tea in case you are wondering.
I guess word on the street is right. Food doesn’t seem to be the main draw of Equinox. The experience of dining 70 floors up with a panoramic view of the Marina area however, is another story.

porkbelly looks awesome!
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging
on blogs I stumbleupon every day. It’s always interesting to read through content from other writers and use something from other sites.
I enjoyed your pictures, they enabled me to re-live the moment. We just returned form Singapore. We stayed at the Stamford Swissotel and ate dinner at the Equinox our last night in Singapore. We are foodies and we were not disappointed. The wine was also lovely. I had a Pascal Joliver Métis Pinot Noir that really rocked my socks for the price point. But then I was at the Equinox and the evening was perfect. Thank you.

Whether youre furnishing a new home or replacing worn-out furnishings, you'll need home furniture furniture that matches your home and your style. This purchasing guide will help you discover your look and make up a arrange for the items youll need to create the perfect home furniture.
Generally people know the things they like and just what it normally won't like. In between those two extremes, there are plenty of home furniture furnishings options. If you have no clue where to start, try looking in your wardrobe and find out what colors you decide to put on. If youd by no means go out without your custom purse, consider the stylish style of recent home furniture furniture.
When you include a hair piece to your house furniture, you point the furniture and define the areas space. Choose an area rug big enough to possess at least the leading ft from the major furniture pieces on the carpet. Its not necessary a hair piece in a carpeted space, but adding 1 on top of the carpet can visually draw all of the furnishings together. Contrast the carpet and furnishings purchase a natural rug for the space with a patterned fabric couch, and vice versa.
Once youve placed the couch, position your loveseat and chairs near it to produce a conversation region, generally at 90 degrees towards the sofa when the space is around the little side, you may want to simply have chairs rather than a loveseat. If the seats have low backs will not block the vista to your focus, put them across in the couch. Do not be afraid to have this complete agreement in the center of a room. Pushing all the furnishings up against the partitions may make the area seem larger, but a cozy feeling is much more comfortable, and youll be able to hear the discussion with people sitting on other chairs within the room.
Place a tea table in your home furnishings. If you are such as an entertainment middle within the room, middle it across from the sofa for optimum viewing. Bookshelves prevent walls, or, for those who have two, they may work on each side of the entertainment middle to produce a entire wall of furnishings. Remember to maintain everything well balanced: For each heavy or tall piece of furniture, there should be another one across from this.

Sopranos fans alert: series memorabilia is being auctioned off
Fans of 'The Sopranos' have a chance to score a signed script, poster and some other show collectibles in an online auction by Steiner Sports. Among 70 plus items, there's a rare cast gift from James Gandolfini.
The engraved gold diver watch was the NJ native's way of marking the wrap of the iconic HBO series. An inscription on the watch case reads, "Thank You - J. G. The Sopranos 1997 - 2007 Rest In Peace." Gandolfini died six years later, at the age of 51.
Actor Steve Schirripa recently may have cleaned out his closets, as a bunch of the items are clothes worn by his character, Bobby "Bacala" (Baccalieri). There's even a "fat suit" that he wore early on, though as the show progressed, producers apparently decided he was fine without it.
Items already receiving bids include a signed Sopranos "Bada Bing" poker set, a signed Sopranos "Bobby Bacala" baseball bat and an autographed 'Sopranos' graveyard photo. That first season print is signed by James Gandolfini, Tony Sirico, Michael Imperioli, Stevie Van Zandt and Vincent Pastore.
The Sopranos collectibles auction closes on August 4. To see the full catalog of items,.

It’s Official, Toys ‘R’ Us Plans to Liquidate
This bad news for parents and kids, Toys 'R' Us is rumored to be in talks to go away forever.
UPDATE: As of March 14, The Wall Street Journal reports that employees were told today that the Toys 'R' Us stores will all shut their doors, with up to 33,000 jobs at risk.
I will never forget the first time I saved up all of my allowance to buy a mini yellow Super Soaker at Toys"R"Us.
It was a huge deal and even though I knew what I wanted to buy, I spent at least an hour checking every aisle to make sure I was spending my money correctly.
According to multiple sources, including Bloomberg, that options will not be available for future kids.
Bloomberg says, 'Toys “R” Us Inc. is making preparations for a liquidation of its bankrupt U.S. operations.'
Which would mean a bunch of things.
First, you won't have Toys"R"Us stores to go to and shop for toys.
Second, you won't be able to shop online either...
Third, and possibly more importantly, if you currently have some Toys"R"Us returns in your car, or gift cards in your purse, take care of them immediately!

Papa was sent to death row and Mama changed our names.
I went from being Scott Walker to being Jimmy Hogan and we started to move from city to city, from town to town. It’s not easy, learning to answer to a different name. Never having a place to call home.
Mama worries that we will be identified. That me and my brother will be known as the killer’s kids.
Mama worries about lots of things. She worries about her sons, are we like our father? It is in our blood. Our DNA. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, which not many people know.
Mama talks a lot about blood and DNA. She does not like us to mix with other kids, to make friends. What if we lose our heads like Papa had done? What if we turn into killers too?
She made us promise to never touch a gun again. Even though Papa had shown us how to be safe with them. We promised, we vowed.
‘Cause Mama isn’t the only one to worry about us. We worry about ourselves too.
Papa always seemed so calm, so gentle.
What unknown demons lie within us, waiting for their moment?

This South-of-Market industrial warehouse has been repurposed to house an array of functions for a client with wide-ranging interests. From the street, a polished interpretation of industrial building typology subtly suggests the carefully considered spaces within. Entering, the first space encountered is the Studio—a large wood-paneled volume outfitted to screen films or alternatively host a small rock concert. A sky-lit four-story stairway leads to the Garden Room, a bright, flexible space for experiences ranging from a contemplative garden to a formal dinner for 30. A glass-skinned Penthouse tops the structure and, in keeping with the client’s diverse needs, serves numerous roles: guest room, spontaneous meeting place, or hideaway.

I wanted to take a moment to take care of a few housekeeping matters here at Two Washingtons.
1 – Thank you thank you thank you for being amazing readers! Your comments, whether on the blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, or by email, mean so much to me, A, Cal and B-Cat. As we reach the end of the summer, it is hard to believe all that we have accomplished. Our last day of work in DC was the Friday before Memorial Day and this whole summer has been consumed by packing, moving, driving, finding jobs, starting jobs, buying a home and unpacking. (The unpacking not quite done yet.) It is easy to be discouraged by the fact that our summer disappeared into these chores. But looking at all that has changed and best of all how easy those changes have come amazes us – and we know we could not have done it without the help of family and old and new friends. So thank you for your words of encouragement and congratulations and most of all, for being there for all of this crazy summer.
2 – In response to the previous post, Wear Your College Colors Day was a success in our household. A chose to wear an evil empire undergrad shirt and a Cal hat. I wore red sandals to celebrate my true alma mater and a Cal shirt to show my football allegiance. There were a lot of reasons why I ended up with this, but I think most of all I thought it important working for a rival PAC 10 school, I needed to make my alliances known early on.
3 – Cal and B-Cat have been loving Seattle – the cooler weather, the amazing dog parks, the wonderful windows our house has for bird and neighbor viewing. They are still showing their support for Seattle homeless pets in the Seattle Humane Society Walk for Animals on Sept. 26. As always your support has been wonderful and we are already almost 40% to our goal of raising $200 for the Seattle Humane Society. Please help out and donate to Team Two Washingtons and help Cal and B-Cat reach their fundraising goal. We promise to reward you with adorable photos of beagles in bandanas looking proud as they walk for charity.
4 – I’ve updated the Picasa albums with more photos of our home (complete with captions) and photos of more summer adventures here in Seattle, so please check it out. The links are on the right.
Thanks for making this summer so amazing – it really had a lot of places things could have gone wrong, but it has been a wonderful, crazy ride and we are so glad you could be a part of it. Stay tuned for our first fall and winter in Seattle – we may talk a big game but how will we really handle all that rain??
Couldn't agree more–thanks, everyone!
A
I have enjoyed following your blog. My husband and I live near D.C. and we are planning a move to Seattle in the next two or three years. I can't get enough of your photos and stories about Seattle. Look forward to reading more.
