I love the energy of our partners and hearing about their successes with Surface. To every Surface partner: thank you. You are helping businesses around the globe create workplaces that harness the full power of their teams and unleash their people’s creativity. It’s meaningful work that inspires me personally and the Surface team daily.
It’s amazing to think about how far the Surface Commercial business has come in three years because of our partners – from one to over 15,000 partners worldwide. Partners have developed innovative delivery and service models, such as Surface as a Service, which in under a year has grown from one partner and one customer to over 50 partners in 15 markets worldwide. Another partner-led program, the Surface Hub Value Added Distributor Program for Opportunity Resellers (VADOR), in less than four months has grown to over 500 partners and now accounts for 15% of Surface Hub sales worldwide!
The momentum Surface has will continue to grow especially considering today’s announcement of Microsoft 365, which combines the best of Microsoft products across Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. Surface devices represent the best expression of the Microsoft 365 offerings, allowing individuals and organizations to take the fullest advantage of their Office and Windows investments.
Today, I am highlighting two new opportunities for partners and customers to get more value out of their Surface devices: a new Services and Support opportunity as well as previewing our new Surface Reseller Alliance.
Pre and Post-sale Services and Support are essential for modern businesses to succeed. Enterprises need devices that not only help them transform digital workflows but also ensure that their employees are always productive. I am excited to share that since the announcement at Ignite last year, we have quite a bit of progress on our next-generation Services and Support. The partner program for Services and Support was successfully piloted and is now active in 10 countries: the US., U.K., Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Japan and the expansion to other Surface markets are coming over the next few months.
That said, we know larger Enterprise customers expect services such as next business day replacement and next business day onsite support on a global scale.
With that in mind, today I’m announcing that Microsoft Surface is partnering with IBM Technology Support Services (TSS) – one of the world’s leading support providers – to enhance our Microsoft Complete extended warranty offerings and deliver technology services and support for Surface devices.
These services, offered by our channel partners, will be available starting July 15th in the US and Canada, with other Surface markets coming online soon.
I’m also happy to share that next business day replacement and next business day onsite support services will be available for new and existing customers who have a Microsoft Complete extended service plan.
Now whether you’re a 100-person company with one location or a 5,000+ person organization spread across the globe, you can receive the best post-sale services and support, thanks to our updated offerings.
Our goal is to enable our Surface resellers the ability to provide a premium experience when they interact with our shared end customers. To ensure our Surface reseller partners have the latest information in training, set up and transactional assistance, we’ve created the Microsoft Surface Reseller Alliance. The goal of the Alliance is to provide the Surface partners easy access to product information, training, marketing support materials, end-customer assistance and help with and direct deal registration for Distributor Managed Partners (DMPs). The Alliance is currently in preview and is accessible via the current Surface Drumbeat site. We will launch it in full later this fall.
An example of our efforts to unify our resellers experience is the Deal Registration Portal that we will launch in the coming months. The Deal Registration Portal will allow our DMPs to register their deals directly as opposed to through their distributor. This will save them time and energy so they can focus on winning new business.
We will continue to create additional Microsoft Surface Reseller Alliance programs like the Deal Registration Portal and make other subsequent updates to improve the portal over time. This is just the beginning. To learn more partners can contact their Microsoft Account Teams starting today.
The success of Surface in the commercial sector in large part is due to the hard work of our partner network, who enable us to create innovative programs to better serve the needs of our shared customers worldwide. We are grateful to partners for their innovative spirits, tenacity, input, and desire as together we enable businesses and people around the world to do more. We look forward to years of continued success!

In an effort to continue to bring our readers the most relevant news regarding bone health and related issues, we’re starting a new blog post category called ‘News roundup.’ We’ll provide you with the links to interesting research and news articles. Even though we may not be able to break down the evidence and evaluate the articles fully, we will comment on each news article briefly. And of course, larger and more significant studies will continue to receive attention in the form of single blog posts.
Comment: This is an interesting study which shows that high-impact training done in a progressive manner, increases bone density after one year. However keep in mind that this was a very small study — 36 people in the high-impact exercise group and 40 people in the control group. In addition, the participants had mild knee osteoarthritis, which means the results can’t be applied to people with more advance osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. Our advice for now is to continue to stick to low-impact exercises if you have osteoporosis and work with a certified exercise professional if you would like to incorporate more bone-friendly exercises into your exercise routine.
Comment: This is an interesting report because it mirrors what is happening in many countries across the world. Dr Andrew Ho, President, Osteoporosis Society of Hong Kong, says “Osteoporosis has been a major public health problem in Hong Kong but this disease has not received due attention from the policy makers as compared to other chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cardiac or cerebrovascular diseases and dementia.” Canada is in a similar situation as well. According to Osteoporosis Canada, osteoporosis-related fractures are more common than heart attacks, stroke, and breast cancer combined. The sad reality is that many of these fractures are not diagnosed and patients often suffer multiple fractures before osteoporosis is identified as the culprit. The good news is that slowly, we are seeing more and more fracture programs and osteoporosis specialists making it a priority to ensure that patients are accurately diagnosed. Visit Osteoporosis Canada’s website to learn about their initiatives to tackle the growing osteoporosis problem in Canada.
Comment: This article provides a good overview of exercise studies published this year. The common thread between most of these exercise studies was that the amount of effort you spend exercising may matter more than the time you spend exercising. For people who do not have osteoporosis and have no other health issues, consider increasing the intensity of your workouts to get the most health benefits out of your exercise. But if you have osteoporosis or a heart condition, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, high blood pressure or any other bone or joint condition, you should talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program and before engaging in high-intensity or high-impact exercises.

OWASP released Top 10 Proactive Controls for Software developers describing the more critical areas that software developers must focus on.
The OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls 2018 contains a list of security techniques that every developer should consider for every software project development.
“OWASP Top Ten Proactive Controls similar to OWASP Top 10 but it focussed on defensive techniques and controls as opposed to risks.” reads OWASP Document.
The Proactive Controls list starts by defining security requirements derived from industry standards, applicable laws, and a history of past vulnerabilities.
List of Top 10 Proactive Controls ordered from 1 to 10 based on the importance.
Security requirements provide needed functionality that software needs to be satisfied. It is derived from industry standards, applicable laws, and a history of past vulnerabilities.
Instead of having a customized approach for every application, standard security requirements may allow developers to reuse the same for other applications.
Third party libraries or frameworks into your software from the trusted sources, that should be actively maintained and used by many applications. Leveraging security frameworks helps developers to accomplish security goals more efficiently and accurately.
This section summarizes the key areas to consider secure access to all data stores.
Encoding and escaping plays a vital role in defensive techniques against injection attacks. The type of encoding depends upon the location where the data is displayed or stored.
Only the properly formatted data should be allowed entering into the software system. The application should check that data is both syntactically and semantically.
Access Controls involves the process of granting or denying access request to the application, a user, program, or process. Below are the OWASP Guidelines.
It is important to securely store the sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers, health records, personal information and business secrets as it particularly falls under EU’s General Data Protection Regulation GDPR and PCI DSS regulations.
Data classification based on the sensitivity is important.
Logging security information during the runtime operation of an application. Monitoring is the live review of application and security logs using various forms of automation.
Error handling allows the application to correspond with the different error states in various ways. Some attacks may trigger error’s that helps in attack detection.

The following are the most frequently asked questions we receive. For more in-depth responses please see the corresponding page(s). You can also contact us at patel@onlinesatta.co.in.
Question 1. Is betting on the Internet legal if I live in India?
Yes. No laws censor the act of an Indian citizen from placing a bet at an online casino, sportsbook or lottery site. In order to fully comply with laws you should transact in Rupees when applicable. It is illegal to bet at a bookie not located on the internet or licensed by a regulating body.
Question 2. How do I put money onto the internet?
In order to do so you must choose a satta site that accepts India. From there you can deposit with a credit or debit card. If you do not have one you will need a Moneybooker (Skrill) or Neteller account. After registering at the satta site of choice click the ‘deposit’ button and continue.
Question 3. My bank credit card didn’t not work, what should I do?
Please sign up at Skrill.com or Neteller.com and proceed from there. Please see here for Skrill and here for Neteller details on opening an account for online gambling purposes. These ‘ewallets’ allow for anonymous transactions. No gambling activities will show up on your bank statement.
Question 4. I want to bet on the Indian Premier League (IPL). How?
Visit Bet365.com, open and account, deposit and look for the ‘cricket’ tab. From there you can bet on the matches and also while the matches are going on called “in-play” betting. For legality reasons we do not condone live betting or prop betting due to the lack of skill – but everyone does it anyway.
Question 5. Can I trust these sites with my money?
Yes. All of the betting sites we endorse are accredited by the UK Gambling Commission. A few of the gambling sites mentioned are worth over INR 23 CR according to the DailyMail.co.uk and there have been no theft involved with the companies we mention.
Question 6. Where can I bet Satta Matka?
Matka, unfortunately is not available on the internet. There are a few sites that offer call in numbers but they seem very shady. As an alternative we recommend lottery websites.
Question 7. Is poker legal?
Poker is a game of skill and is widely accepted as being a lawful act in India. Poker Stars and Bet365 agree to this and both accept Indian players.

As children approach and enter the teenage years, they must deal with physical growth spurts, mindboggling hormone releases, and ever-changing and challenging social relationships. Children begin to care about being "cool," and classmates may no longer be as tolerant of "differences". For pre-adolescent children with ASD, these already complicated physical and social changes are compounded by the typical ASD difficulties of reading social cues and understanding the behaviors of others. Consequently, children with ASD approaching adolescence have greater transition needs than most typically developing pre-teens.
Fick Educational Services will be forming new social skills groups for the New Year! If your child struggles to make friends and could use some practice with team work or coping skills, consider a social skills group at FES.

Think Different. It's more than just the slogan that Steve Jobs used to sell computers.

Embracing, and more importantly supporting, people's cognitive differences creates a culture where innovation thrives and group think dies.

A group of 30 adults met in downtown San Francisco to discuss their difficulties in finding jobs and staying employed. They were joined that November Saturday by Ranga Jayaraman, a former chief information officer at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. They strategized how to help each other get jobs in the tech industry, and Mr. Jayaraman offered to introduce them to his contacts. Here's the twist: This was a local meeting of adults with autism, as well as family members and advocates.
Our group, known as Aascend-an acronym for Autism, Asperger Spectrum Coalition for Education, Networking and Development-is one of several autism mutual-support groups that have arisen across the U.S. I've been part of Aascend since 2011, as a family member of an adult with autism.
Teasing, condescension and other injustices against people with autism are rarely discussed. This is my experience.
People usually only talk about the autism spectrum when they suspect there's a problem. We hardly ever look at the spectrum in a positive light. It's seen as a thing to cure, like a disease, not as just a part of who we are, like a birthmark.
I found out I might be on the spectrum around fifth grade. I don't even remember the exact time I found out because it was so inconsequential to me at the time. I was just walking with my mom, and our protective Corgi dog named Faye, when she told me.
When Sarah Ford, 14 years old, was struggling with depression, hallucinations and suicidal thoughts last spring, her pediatrician in Springfield, Mo., was able to call in help from afar. Through a live videoconference link with Mercy Virtual, a telemedicine center three hours away, a child-psychiatry expert evaluated Sarah, prescribed a medication and set follow-up appointments.
With a rising number of teens and adolescents suffering from depression and anxiety, and too few professionals to help, remote video consults are helping pediatricians fill the gap in some communities. In recent years, more health providers have been turning to telemedicine for adult mental-health services, offering remote, real-time video and audio appointments with a psychiatrist or counselor for patients who don't have easy access to care. School systems, universities and health-care providers are now testing out such programs for children and teens.
The Trump administration is planning to rethink existing regulations that radically altered the transition from school to work for people with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Education is expected to issue a proposal this month changing how the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act is implemented.
The 2014 law requires that individuals with disabilities age 24 and younger pursue competitive integrated employment before they can work in jobs paying less than minimum wage. Those already working for what's known as subminimum wage can continue to do so, but must receive regular career counseling and information about training opportunities.
Some of the tools fit into more than one topic, but each is only listed once.

In addition to the list of extension, I have also linked in the videoand help guide from a webinar I did a while back on "Google Tools for Special Needs".

We can all do our part for a cleaner environment. In fact, our daily choices and actions can make a huge difference in ways you might not have imagined. There are simple ways to reduce your personal carbon footprint without going to extremes, and you can start to contribute to a brighter tomorrow with what you eat!
Food has a huge impact on our carbon footprint. For example, organic foods are produced and grown in an eco-friendly way by taking steps to reduce water waste and protect soil and air quality. Shopping for local foods is another great way to ensure lower carbon emissions. Locally grown food travels a shorter distance from the farm to your table.
Look for locally grown foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and lentils. As a rule, plant-based foods have a lower carbon impact than animal-based items. But don’t worry, you don’t need to rule out animal products just yet. The key is to make educated decisions about which items to buy. Chicken, eggs and milk tend to have lower carbon emissions. Look for the items that are organic, antibiotic-free and cage-free or pasture-raised.
Check out this recipe for Spinach Quinoa Wraps uses ingredients that have low carbon emissions.

I was very attracted, I must confess, by Mawaan Rizwan’s pineapple head publicity shot, but that’s definitely not the reason he’s ended up on today’s hit list. He had a great run up at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe earlier this year, and won some serious praise from assorted critics. “A deeply personal and skillfully physical show about love, liberation, Missy Elliot and what happens when you accidentally make your mum famous.” See the venue website here for more.

Individuals with diabetes must be particularly vigilant about eye problems, because of the effects of excessive amounts of glucose in their bloodstreams. At Associates in Eyecare in the DC area, we provide regular examinations for vision and for changes in eye structure that can indicate damage from high blood glucose associated with diabetic conditions.
Diabetic retinopathy is a term used to describe a number of problems that develop in eye structures due to the effects of diabetes. It can occur in individuals with either type-1 or type-2 diabetes. The high levels of glucose in the bloodstream cause deterioration in the tiny blood vessels in the eyes. As a result, eye structures are damaged and vision loss occurs.
In the early stages of diabetic eye disease, very small blood vessels begin to leak, causing swelling in the retina. This is called non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and it is a common problem in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a more advanced condition, in which new blood vessels begin to grow and bleed into the vitreous liquid of the eye. The resulting scar tissue can cause the retina to detach from the eye and can cause loss of vision. Your eye doctor will carefully monitor your eyes for any signs of these problems.
If you have diabetes, your primary care physician will recommend regular eye exams to monitor your eyes for any changes that occur in the retina of the eye because of the high blood glucose levels. Your eye doctor will provide a comprehensive examination, complete with dilation that allows the viewing of the internal structures of the eye. In this way, the optometrist can carefully examine blood vessels to note abnormalities that could indicate the early stages of a problem. You can then receive treatment to avoid damage that could cause vision loss.
Make Associates in Eyecare Your Optometrist for Diabetic Retinopathy Care!
The optometrists at Associates in Eyecare use their extensive training and experience to ensure their patients in the Washington, D.C. and northern Virginia areas maintain clear vision and healthy eyes with a variety of optometry services.

Blog – I shouldn’t come out in the first paragraph to declare the Russian story a hoax but I still cannot believe the media continue pressing this issue while ignoring those who are truly influencing our democracy – the Donor Class. If Facebook can possibly account for $100,000 in ads being spent by companies in Russia, what about the $1 Billion spent annually by the Koch brothers? Who really has influence over our so-called democracy? The truth is more unsettling…we don’t have a democracy to influence. The people don’t have a functioning government because it’s controlled by Oligarchs. Albert Einstein told us that in 1949.
If we truly had a free press in this country which is what our founders envisioned, every single American would know who the Koch brothers are and why they’re interested in destroying our government. They’ve already accomplished this in 23 states and now with Mike Pence in the Oval Office, they are doing the same to our federal government. They have created and invested billions into Libertarian and conservative think tanks all with misleading names to disguise their true intent.
Indiana has four “super” coal-burning power plants which are three more than any other state. Don’t we have government regulations preventing our air from becoming toxic? Sorry, but we are eliminating them in the name of “conservatism” because liberalism is bad, but free markets are good.
We have a pediatrician in Southern Indiana (Dr. Norma Kreilein) who went to Indianapolis to testify about the linkage between the toxin mercury causing our high infant mortality rates. Mercury is a byproduct of burning coal. As she began to testify, her microphone was turned off. We can’t talk about air pollution in Indiana.
The doctor who treats kids who are sick with asthma is unable to testify in the people’s house. Why is that?
This includes both political parties and the media. Do you think it’s improved since 1949?
No, but the illusion is showing signs of crumbling.
The government or public sector was developed to handle the people’s (community) interests. This was done so we could regulate the industry to ensure the working class (the people) were treated fairly, taxes would be used to distribute from the capitalists to the working class to ensure fair distribution of profits from shared resources.
Furthermore, the government would be the people’s avenue to check the power of wealthy industrialists.
It was true in 1949, and it’s even worse today. Private capitalists control all our institutions and with the addition of SCOTUS’s Citizens United ruling, the Oligarchs can spend unlimited money to influence our public sector because they control the politicians and the media. They buy a candidate and then promote him/her through owned or friendly media channels.
We get to vote, but each political seat has a price and those willing to pay it, win.
In order for the media and our government to conclude that Russia tried to interfere in our democracy, they’d first have to prove we are a democracy. We’re not. If Charles and David Koch live in Kansas and can buy politicians in Indiana, then not only are we not a democracy, we aren’t even a representative republic. Our Koch bought politicians in Indiana serve the two billionaires who live in Kansas but use our four large super burning coal plants run by Duke Energy to generate power for the Midwest by buying coal from the Koch’s.
Now you know why Indiana is polluted and why the Indiana Department of Environmental Regulation is so corrupt. The state regulators are controlled by industry. The regulators aren’t holding anybody accountable for polluting our air and land or killing our kids. The pollution doesn’t exist if those in charge of regulating power plants say it doesn’t.
As it turns out, he who has the most gold does make the rules. In our case, it’s plural as in “The Oligarchs have pooled their resources to buy both political parties so they can make beneficial rules for themselves.” See my most recent article about the “Tax Reform Bill” as an example. It was a $1.4 trillion upward distribution to the Donor Class who runs our political sphere. It was taken from the people. We’ll find out exactly who will pay in 2018.
So what happens to the people in this Oligarchy?

Home / TOEFL Learning Videos / TOEFL Articles / Lana improves her TOEFL Speaking score from 23 to 26!
Lana looked at her TOEFL Speaking subtotal score of 26. Her eyes welled up, and two tears streamed down her face. Finally, after all of her TOEFL iBT speaking practice, she had finally reached her goal, thereby meeting the pharmacy licensing requirements. Lana wept tears of joy. Since her previous speaking score was 23 points, how had she made these improvements?
Perhaps the most important decision that Lana made was to join an Online TOEFL Course so that she could post and get daily feedback from an iBT TOEFL Speaking Specialist. Lana had felt that she could reach her goal on her own and would be able to improve her speaking without outside help, but that was simply not the case. As a result, Lana had to swallow her pride and put her trust in a qualified TOEFL iBT specialist.
One important observation that Lana’s TOEFL iBT Specialist noticed was that Lana had delivery problems in three areas. First of all, when Lana recorded and uploaded her speaking practice tests for her TOEFL iBT speaking mentor, she was informed that she had some word stress problems, particularly with three and four syllable words. To remedy this problem, Lana was advised to study and complete Pronunciation Lessons 25-28, all of which centered around word stress. Second of all, Lana was also advised she needed to improve her intonation. Her tendency, according to her TOEFL iBT speaking mentor, was to speak in a monotone voice. Consequently, Lana was advised to study Pronunciation Lessons 36-40, all of which would help her to vary her tone more, thus giving her a more natural sounding delivery.
Often distracting listeners from what she was saying, the last issue that was affecting Lana’s delivery was her awkward pauses and hesitations. Simply put, Lana was sometimes pausing during her ideas because she was trying to find the grammar and vocabulary appropriate to the speaking tasks. Her TOEFL iBT mentor advised her to study Pronunciation Lessons 41-44 so that she could learn to identify thought groups with her ideas and to also use blending within her designated thought groups. In addition, Lana also started a regular routine of reading and listening to academic topics on a daily basis, and it was this extended exposure that helped Lana develop better control over her vocabulary and grammar usage. Of course, the better control Lana had over her language use, the better control she had over her pausing and blending.
In addition, Lana also made some improvements with her language use. When Lana started completing some of her independent and integrated speaking practice tests, her iBT speaking mentor noticed that she expressed mostly basic ideas in response to the arguments she was trying to make and that she had trouble paraphrasing ideas from reading and listening passages. Part of Lana’s problem was that her vocabulary limitations were preventing her from fully expressing her ideas. To help her address this issue, Lana’s TOEFL iBT Speaking Mentor recommended that she study Vocabulary Lessons 3-6, which would help her to expand her basic and college-level vocabulary. Furthermore, Lana continued her routine of reading and listening to academic passages, this also helping her to expand her vocabulary.
Now no obstacles stood in the way of Lana’s becoming a pharmacist. She had completed all her studies, passed her pharmacy exam, and cleared her TOEFL requirements. Overcoming her delivery and language-use problems would not have been possible had she not joined the Online TOEFL Course “The 7-Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT.” Improving from 23 to 26 did not happen overnight. In fact, it took Lana 2.5 months to overcome her problems before she was ready to get her dream score. But it did happen! And oh how sweet was her joy!

In our culture, I hear much lament for lack of love for neighbor and I hear criticisms of neighbors, and in this election year I hear a lot of personal attacks on neighbors by neighbors and all over neighborhoods.
So, if loving your neighbor is daunting and difficult, fight for your neighbor instead. If paying someone a compliment is hard, rejoice, then, when your neighbor succeeds. If your neighbor falls down, don’t kick them, but ‘cover their infirmities’ through defending them and refusing to add to their pain.
Not all catechism references are this exciting, but seriously, this is practical, contemporary, helpful stuff. And I rarely hear this stuff from pulpits or in Bible studies or in Christian music (if someone can find a song that tackles this subject well, please send it along).
But, this isn’t just a decent description of practical civility, it’s also a solid summary of friendship. My closest friends have worked to fight on my behalf, sometimes in spite of my shortcomings. Their grace only made me care for them more, but their grace also motivated me to want to do better. While it’s almost cliché to talk of changing the world, I do know this: fighting for our neighbors goes a lot further than beating them down. So, don’t just sit there, fight for your neighbor. My guess is, then, at some point they’ll return the favor. And over time, that pattern may change things for the better.

This suburban NSW Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of up to 18 mega Litres per day servicing up to approximately 75,000 people. For normal operations, the plant makes use of 2 belt filter presses to dewater biosolids to 14-17 percent solids. The biosolids are removed by truck daily to be sent to land crops and sugar cane farms.
Occasionally one of the belt filter presses needs to be shut down for maintenance purposes. This is a common issue for mechanical dewatering systems and it is often used to justify the need for duplicate or even triplicate mechanical units. This particular plant makes use of an alternative backup dewatering solution, Geotube dewatering units.
When the belt filter press is turned off, the sludge is easily diverted to multiple Geotube units. The same polymer flocculant dose used for the belt filter press can be used for efficient dewatering in the Geotube units. This site has a large asphalt pad which drains back into the headworks of the plant. In the winter of 2017 the plant made use of 2 Geotube® units with a footprint of 18.3 m x 17.4 m and a dry cake volume capacity of over 550 m3 each.
The biosolids are pumped into the Geotube units, filling them to a max fill height of 2.7 m. The flow is diverted into each unit intermittently to allow the continuous flow of sludge. Once the maintenance operation is complete, pumping into the Geotube units will cease and they will continue to dewater through seepage and evaporation. When the solids have reached a target concentration the Geotube will be cut open and the solids will be dug out with a long reach excavator. Solids concentrations between 15 and 25% can be achieved in this manner depending on conditions and seepage time.
Should circumstances demand it, more Geotube units could be used on the pad. This allows for many weeks of biosolid storage and lowers the risk profile of the flood prone region.

As I prepared this message, I was thankful for being given the opportunity to look back with gratitude on all that St. John's has meant in my life these past thirty-plus years. I joined St. John's in the early 80s, and since I was just out of college, it feels like I have grown up here as I navigated adulthood.
Looking back, not only did I grow up and mature in my life and faith these past few decades as St. John's nurtured me, we, collectively as a church, have grown in many ways too. I don't have time to count them all, but here are a few that resonate with me.
When I walked into this sanctuary for the very first time, it looked a bit different. The sides and back sections were enclosed and held multiple rooms where Sunday School classes met and offices were located. That was the first sanctuary renovation I witnessed - making space for more people to worship! Along the way, the building that used to stand behind us was removed and the Education Building was constructed. We didn't yet have the beautiful lot on the side where we now enjoy the occasional fun activities. And then, as you know, more recently, renovations and additions created the spaces we now enjoy anew We have taken our time; we've been intentional with our facility changes as we've tried to be good stewards of the resources we've been blessed with, all the while doing this for the purpose of expanding our ministry to the world.
I believe we've also grown and matured emotionally as a church family. As within our own families, there are ups and downs, turns and twists as we experience life’s positive events and storms together. With God's help, we've come out stronger and better for having weathered the good times and tough times. We have grown and matured together into a strong church family. It doesn't take long for newcomers to start hearing the word "family" around here. And we are truly joyful about welcoming new people into our family.
I have seen us grow financially. And I don't necessarily just mean how our personal giving has expanded over the years to enable us to do more for God’s Kingdom. We have seen the positives our contributions have provided. We are called to reach out to our neighbors, and even the world, through our financial giving. We have done that! Also, I feel blessed to be a member of a church family who has used our financial growth to resolve a challenge - to meet a need. I personally put forth one such challenge back in the day when Rev. Donald Avery was our pastor. I challenged our church family that year to give a little extra to meet a budgetary need and this church delivered! There have been other such times when we listened to our call from God to go the extra mile when needed. I believe this is evidence of how we have grown financially, but more importantly, indicates our spiritual growth and the good that comes from listening to God.
We have grown spiritually in ways too numerous to mention. We've studied, we've been spiritually nourished in small groups, we've attended spiritual renewal retreats, and we've stretched ourselves to pray in our neighborhood. One thing stands out the most to me however. We have grown spiritually in a way that allowed us to open our doors to become a place where people are fed. We feed them food to nourish their physical body and we have faith that we have been and will continue to be God’s instruments in feeding souls as well.
How have we been doing all this? How will we continue to be a place that feeds God’s people spiritually and physically? With God by our side. With God's call on our hearts. With gratitude for all that God has blessed us with. Just look around. Look at all our blessings. Let's look with gratitude on our own life's blessings. We honor God as we gratefully give back a portion to Him so that His purposes may continue to be realized, right here on the corner of Renee and Highland and reaching beyond.
Stewardship: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care St. John’s community, God has given us the responsibility of sharing our gifts through worship, witness..

Pity the world’s central bankers. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. Economies are slowing, inflation is rising, and we are in the midst of a credit crisis. Do they lower interest rates to help stimulate their country’s economy, do they raise interest rates to fight inflation, or do they leave them alone and hope for the best? Then there is the political aspect. Try to find a politician (especially one already in office) who will face up to the truth and tell you their country (or province or state) is already in a recession or that inflation is becoming a major issue. It’s also an election year in the US. Woe to be the central banker who raises interest rates in the months before an election.
While every country (outside of Europe) has its own central bank, there are two that are vastly more important than the others. They each have different mandates. The European Central Bank (ECB) has but one mandate: to maintain price stability. In other words, fighting inflation is its sole raison d’ tre. The Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), however, has a dual mandate: the pursuit of price stability and full employment.
Inflation in Europe has accelerated to 4.0%, well above its target of just below 2.0%. Inflation in the US has also increased to 4.2%. In response, the ECB has raised interest rates by 0.25% to 4.25%, the highest level in 7 years. The Fed has done nothing. The Fed Funds rate remains at an easy money rate of 2.0%. The ECB hopes it is the only increase needed this cycle. That appears doubtful. The Fed hopes that by holding rates low, it will keep the US economy from sliding into a recession and that slow economic growth will keep inflationary pressures at bay. Hope springs eternal.
The increases in food and energy prices thus far this year have been relentless. Oil prices have increased nearly 50% so far this year while natural gas is up 72% and heating oil up 53%. On the food side, corn prices are up over 50%, while soybeans have increased over 30%. Companies have been reluctant to raise prices and have been eating most of the increased costs (pardon the pun). This appears to have been keeping reported inflation numbers artificially low. We are now seeing many companies finally crying ‘uncle’ and starting to pass along the costs. Dow Chemical, for example, has recently announced an across the board 25% price increase to take effect in August. This is on top of a 20% increase announced in June. It is only a matter of time before we see end user companies passing these costs on to consumers. Already we are reading about auto companies fighting against significantly higher steel prices. How long do you think they can continue the fight and who do you think will end up paying the cost? Right now auto companies are cutting prices to move their surplus inventories (helping keep reported inflation numbers low) but this will come to an end when their costs begin to climb sharply.
While prices are rising, economies are slowing. The US, according to David Rosenberg of Merrill Lynch, entered into a recession some time between October and February. The vagueness is due to the fact that reported economic numbers in the US are totally unreliable and are subject to numerous revisions before being considered accurate. Previously reported positive GDP data is expected to be massively revised into negative territory. According to Rosenberg, all four recession determinants (real sales, employment, industrial production, and real personal income) have peaked and rolled over. Economies in Europe remain healthier than in the US at present but recessionary worries abound. Higher interest rates will definitely put a damper on growth and may even tip the scales there to negative as well.
The worst of all evils is a combination of the above, stagflation, where economies stagnate or decline at the same time inflation continues to bedevil. The most recent example was in 1974-75. It was an ugly period. While we hope this will not be the case, we are becoming less optimistic.
History has shown that inflation is a far greater evil than slowing economies or recessions. The Europeans have begun their fight. The Americans have not. If they want to prevent stagflation, they had better begin soon.
We are in the midst of a very unnerving time for investors. The litany of problems ranging from the mammoth losses of financial institutions, the US housing crisis, and soaring commodity prices has been analysed in depth by many respected economists and market strategists, resulting in different conclusions. There is no certainty how or when these problems will be unwound. Patience will be required to determine the correct course of action.
Some historical perspective is useful in developing investment strategy under current conditions.
Over the last 10 years we have witnessed the bursting of the bubbles in dot com equities, the U.S. housing market and the Chinese stock market. This makes one wonder if the current soaring commodity prices might be building up to the same conclusion. If this turns out to be the case, it would have a dramatic impact on the Canadian dollar and stock market.
Markets and companies seldom repeat their performance from decade to decade. Strategas, a U.S. economic consulting firm, has recently compiled some statistics that clearly demonstrates this.
The Canadian stock market has beaten all the major world indices so far in this decade, after mediocre performance in the 90’s and ranking last in the 80’s. The strong performance was driven by income trusts and the heavy weighting in resource stocks.
Conversely the U.S. market was the strongest in the 90’s and is ranked last so far this decade. The U.S. market has been dragged down by the performance of the large growth stocks which were the leaders in the 1990’s. Stocks such as GE and Coke are selling below where they were 10 years ago, despite having more than doubled their earnings and dividends over this period. Former leaders Pfizer and Bristol-Myers are at multi-year lows while paying dividends significantly higher than government bonds. These financially strong international companies could attract a lot of interest from conservative investors and cash heavy entities. The recent bid for Anheuser Busch indicates how attractive these companies are.
The Canadian market could also see a change in leadership. Many of our leading companies have disappeared. Others such as Bombardier, Nortel, Celestica and Loblaws have fallen on hard times. Some of these will recover, while others will continue to wither. Ten years ago, it would have been difficult to predict that Rogers Communications, CNR and Cameco would become industry leaders. Who had even heard of Research in Motion? The next 10 years will contain similar surprises.
The only style that consistently worked through the four decades studied by Strategas was value investing. This is not surprising because the discipline involved in value investing forces the manager to move from sectors and companies that are in vogue to more neglected areas.
Although by no means exclusive, these observations will help set the framework for portfolio strategy in the months ahead.
Markets are resilient: As we emerge from these difficult times, equity markets will recover and produce healthy returns.
Value investing is the only style that shows consistent long terms results: High quality stocks selling at low Price/Earnings ratio or low price to growth will again produce superior results. At Portfolio Management Corp we are advocates of value investing and will continue to search diligently for attractive investments.
Timing is uncertain: Under today’s conditions patience is required. We will not try to anticipate when a change will come but will purchase selective equities as they meet our criteria.
TRI is one of the leaders in the delivery of electronic information services, trading systems and news for financial services, legal, accounting and health care professionals. We are attracted to the favourable industry structure with high barriers to entry and the need for timely global information. Although the financial services industry that TRI serves in one of its business lines is under pressure, when the cycle turns TRI will be a prime beneficiary given its market dominance and geographic diversification. Until then the company has significant cost synergies available due to its acquisition of Reuters and its other electronic information business lines are stable and non-cyclical.
The uncertain economic environment has provided an opportunity to take a position in a company with excellent long term prospects with a healthy balance sheet, strong margins and good cash flow generation. The stock is trading at the low end of its historical ranges and yields 3.5%.
KR, founded in 1883, is one of the largest US grocery retailers and operates on a national scale. Our initial investing thesis incorporated several aspects. Firstly, although Wal-Mart was and is a formidable competitor, KR, was executing well on a basic strategy of offering good produce and grocery at attractive price points at convenient locations with good service. Recently KR has led the industry in sales gains due to its low prices and a strong private label offering. US consumers are feeling the economic pinch from a variety of places and are looking for a value offering. Not only is KR the lowest price grocer but close to half of its sales are now in its private label products which for grocers are more profitable items.
The stock trades at 14.5X 2008 earnings and given such an uncertain economic backdrop our investment in this stable non-discretionary business continues to make a lot of sense.
Teva, headquartered in Israel, is a leader in the fast growing generic (non-branded) drug industry. It has a strong track record of growth and a full pipeline of new generic offerings. In addition, Teva is involved in developing active pharmaceutical ingredients and proprietary branded drugs. These include Copaxone, a major drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Another one of their drugs, Azilect, has recently been demonstrated to reduce disease activity in Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. This could turn into a major drug for Teva. Selling at 15X estimated 2008 EPS (earnings per share ratio) and with an expected growth rate of 15%, Teva continues to be an attractive investment.
Based in Switzerland, Syngenta’s principal activities are to discover, develop, design and market products to improve agricultural crop yields and food quality. Demand for its products have been spurred by accelerated modernization of farming in Eastern Europe, more intense agricultural usage in Brazil and a shift to preventative applications of crop chemicals. Crop protection chemicals make up 78% of SYT sales. Management expects sales to increase more than 20% this year and with world food demand rising, this trend should continue through the next few years. SYT is strong financially. It has little debt and earns 25% on equity. It uses its high cash flow for research, acquisitions and share buy-backs. Selling at 16X estimated 2008 EPS, the stock represents good value.

Employees do not always necessarily get along. Can you handle these difficult talks without getting nervous or angry?
Your boss often raises his or her voice. He or she has a habit of walking up behind you while you are on the phone or working at your computer, and then just stands there until you are finished with whatever you are doing. Or you constantly have to deal with a co-worker who is difficult to work with. Employees do not always necessarily get along. It’s a fact. It’s a reality.
There are many explosive and sometimes personal scenarios we have to deal with – like wanting to ask your boss for a promotion, or not being sure how to tell a colleague that her perfume makes you ill.
Can you handle these difficult talks without getting nervous or angry? We all recognise the symptoms: raised voices, racing hearts, sweaty palms and stress that won't go away.
These are situations that we all have had to deal with at some point or another - and they are usually tough ones. When things go wrong, it's hard to deal with them easily, much less talk about them. We fear an explosive outburst. Or we expect we will just be wasting our time, or in the end get fired. But if things aren't working, we have to be able to talk. When there is a lot at stake -a job, a salary, a career, and a relationship- we need to be able to engage in that difficult but crucial conversation. So why do we tend to avoid crucial conversations in the work place? In most cases people avoid it out of fear. People fear being victimised for raising issues. They are afraid to challenge and hold others accountable. People fear how the other person will react. Sometimes it is the fear of one’s inadequacy such as “I don’t know where to start”.
Some resort to corridor talk because they feel safer to express views to those they feel safe with rather than those they fear. Unfortunately avoiding and failure to hold crucial conversations is detrimental to productivity, work quality, teamwork and relationships.
When we fail to communicate we enter a vicious fight or flight cycle. We embark on a culture of silence. We know there is a problem, but we don’t face it directly. We ignore it, or become sarcastic. We resort to using humour, while we are kept awake at night because of stress. Secondly, avoiding crucial conversations can lead to violence. One can get angry, abusive, and insulting and sometimes even treat the person with disrespect, while avoiding to deal with the problem.
So how can we hold crucial conversations in a positive, productive way? Learning about how people communicate, takes practice, but it is possible for everyone to learn that skill.
The first major task to accomplish is to "know what you really, really want". As an executive coach, I help others have these "crucial conversations." One of the ways is to help people focus on the positive. We help people figure out what it is that they really, really want.
Difficult conversations require positive, constructive talk. Constructive talk preserves a positive relationship between the parties, while enabling them to address problems, face challenges, negotiate resolutions and evaluate outcomes.
Through executive coaching people can learn essential tools to hold crucial conversations, to give and receive feedback. Through role plays, a coach will empower you to grasp the power within you to address issues confidently in order to live according to your values.
This framework allows for an opportunity to give feedback without feeling attacked, instead finding time to validate and affirm those around you so that they feel valued. Taking the time to share your observations in an empathetic way takes away your fear or their fear.
However we look at it, and regardless the outcome, crucial conversations in the workplace are tough but essential – and confronting the issues at hand is a very important to achieve ultimate job satisfaction.

Over one million people have customized dozens of traits to build a realistic digital lookalike of themselves from over a million possible permutations. When Genies launched a year ago after raising $15 million in stealth, it misstepped by trying to show people’s Genies interpreting a few weekly news stories and seasonal moments. Now the startup has figured out users want more control, so it’s shifting its iOS and Android apps to let you chat through your avatar, who acts out keywords and sentiments in reaction to what you type, which you can then share elsewhere. And Genies is launching a software developer kit that charges other apps apps to let you create avatars and use them for chat, stickers, games, animations, and augmented reality.


text: Abstract - Textile industry is one of the most imperative industries in India and is also one of the major consumers of water (Average Consumption - 14 lakh liters per day). Treatment of this water is of utmost importance to maintain ecological balance. Textile wastewater is a mixture of effluents from various processes. In addition to this, the Central Government, on 22nd October 2015, has drafted a notification that has directed every large scale textile industry to strictly follow ZLD norms. Thus, keen focus has been laid on transforming each textile unit into an ideal yet economical ZLD. This project is an attempt to transform this indigenous industry in India to an ideal yet economical Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) using basic fundamentals of engineering, management and natural sciences.

Can we expect a better world when every one is an Atheist, defined as not believing in god? Well some of the religious excesses would disappear but we would still have the political differences between Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Libertarianism, Humanism and so on. Then there are also supernatural beliefs which do not need a “god” to flourish, such as Astrology, numerology, Karma, Reincarnation, Ufology, Conspiracy, Superstitions, Soothsaying, to name a few, many relying on the speculated existing of the supernatural. There is also the beliefs in Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Precognition, Divination, Mind Control and Psychokinesis which are used by so called psychics to fleece the gullible public.
The task we have is, through science and logic, to convince the public that the supernatural, in all its forms, doesn’t exist.
1-Awareness and Memory are brain functions. When the brain dies, awareness dies.
2-Religion is man made. Common thread between religions is evidence that the origin of the spirit (soul) is not supernatural.
3-No acceptable scientific data exists indicating that a supernatural transfer to a spiritual world is possible.
If we could convince every one (wishful thinking perhaps) that the supernatural does not exist, we have not only eliminated God but also Heaven and Hell as well as all the other beliefs mentioned above. When everyone realizes that his/her life, in spite of enormous odds, is the only opportunity they will get in this short window to enjoy the magnificent splendor of this universe it would revolutionize our society. Would we still have suicide bombers or soldiers to go to war? I know I am dreaming, perhaps in hundreds of years we will come to that point, but we must make a start. Now is the time to do that.
I just wanted to express my heartfelt agreement to your 'basic' but eloquently formulated positions re. the concerns in your articles!
(I'm NOT modest enough to refrain from admitting freely - that In a way, I feel my own, personal philosophy on these matters, overall- is in conjunction with YOUR take on reality . . . . . . .
Regards & Con mis mejores deseos!

As part of Season of Cambodia, a multi-disciplinary arts festival taking place this spring in New York City, the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The New School for Design presents a two-day colloquiumexploring the interconnectedness of creativity, urban ecology and community. The event provides a window into an ongoing exchange between designers, curators, architects, planners, and social researchers from Phnom Penh and New York.
Free registration hereScholars, researchers, students, arts organizers, artists, policymakers, urbanists and designers from both New York and Cambodia will participate in a series of workshops and dialogues focused on how creativity fuels cities and how development and commodification dampens art production. This will include conversations on the role of public art, festivals, cultural district formation, and the distribution of arts and of artists in cities and towns; and will address such issues such as design, media, ecology, and youth development.

The application of this knife, the division of the world into parts and the building of this structure, is something everybody does. All the time we are aware of millions of things around us - these changing shapes, these burning hills, the sound of the engine, the feel of the throttle, each rock and weed and fence post and piece of debris beside the road - aware of these things but not really conscious of them unless there is something unusual or unless they reflect something we are predisposed to see. We could not possibly be conscious of these things and remember all of them because our mind would be so full of useless details we would be unable to think. From all this awareness we must select, and what we select and call consciousness is never the same as the awareness because the process of selection mutates it. We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.
The handful of sand looks uniform at first, but the longer we look at it the more diverse we find it to be. Each grain of sand is different. No two are alike. Some are similar in one way, some are similar in another way, and we can form the sand into separate piles on the basis of this similarity and dissimilarity. Shades of color in different piles - sizes in different piles - grain shapes in different piles - subtypes of grain shapes in different piles - grades of opacity in different piles - and so on, and on, and on. You'd think the process of subdivision and classification would come to an end somewhere, but it doesn't. It just goes on and on.
When analytic thought, the knife, is applied to experience, something is always killed in the process. That is fairly well understood, at least in the arts. Mark Twain's experience comes to mind, in which, after he had mastered the analytic knowledge needed to pilot the Mississippi River, he discovered the river had lost its beauty. Something is always killed. But what is less noticed in the arts - something is always created too. And instead of just dwelling on what is killed it's important also to see what's created and to see the process as a kind of death-birth continuity that is neither good nor bad, but just is.
Though I'm inclined to agree with Douglas Adams that "I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day".

Thanks to funding for this day out we worked with Home-Start Shepway to help 13 families have a lovely day out together on Tuesday 15th August 2017, a day they would not otherwise have been able to have.
Going as a group helped families get to know each other better and provided an extra pair of hands for families who wouldn’t have been able to manage on their own. We were able to take 28 children with their parents along with 5 Home-Start staff members and a volunteer to allow them to spend quality time with one child at a time whilst making sure the other children were happy and safe.
The weather forecast was for clouds and showers, the morning proved this to be correct. A low turn out was expected because of this, however we defied the weather and headed for the seaside. The sun came out and we had a perfect day. We all enjoyed an old-fashioned family day out at the beach: sun cream, hats, picnics, buckets, spades, sand castles, treasure hunt, ice cream, tea, coffee. The children were thrilled to have a donkey ride for the very first time. They all went home with a rosette from the donkey man, a windmill and happy memories.
9.15am: Met at Folkestone bus station where we organised and purchased family day rider tickets for everyone. The staff & volunteers supported the families with multiple children/pushchairs/bags onto bus and into seats. The bus departed at 9.33am.
9.48am - 10:30am: Bus arrived at Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway. The staff & volunteers supported families to get themselves/families belongings off of the bus. Met the other families who arrived by car and supported them with their children and belongings to organise and purchase train tickets and liaise with RHD staff with “Reserved” carriages. The families were on the platform ready to board by 10:15 and the train departed at 10:30am. On the way there the children and families were full of excitement and energy.
10.50am: The group arrived at Dymchurch Station where the staff and volunteers supported the families with their children and belongings. Left the station and walked to the village. The staff & volunteers continued their support with the families and children by helping to cross the A259 at the traffic lights safely and access the beach via a slipway.
11am: The families enjoyed free time to play on the beach with donkey rides, splashing in the sea, having a picnic, beach combing and even a sandcastle competition.
2.30 - 3.55pm: Everyone packed up ready to leave and walked back to RHD Railway station to board the train back to Hythe. Once we arrived at Hythe, the staff & volunteers gave support to the families with their children and belongings. Staff helped the families to get their children into cars for those who had them or wait at bus stop for No.16 bus back to Folkestone.
4.24pm: Bus left Hythe and headed back to Folkestone for 4.50pm, the children could not keep their eyes open!
Impact: Other parents have not felt confident enough to take public transport and were pleasantly surprised at it being easier than they had envisaged. Some even decided to stay at the beach longer than others and were happy to make their own way home on public transport. Parents and children interacted and made friends with each other. Their self confidence and self esteem were increased and this can only benefit the whole family. The children played and ran around so much they were tired out, scruffy but very, very happy.
"It was extremely enjoyable, thank you a lot!!"
"It was amazing!!!! Thank you!"
"Well organised, would not change a thing."
Home-Start Shepway is a charity based in Folkestone that provides a range of services and support for parents with young children who could benefit from some help, advice or friendship.


text: Since the beginning of January, I have been getting the Gift Shop ready for Spring (and Pesach). Please check out the shop and support your Sisterhood and the Synagogue. Many of you shopped at Beckonings (thank you!) and will notice some of the same Judaica and gift items on display here. Please let me know if you are looking for something specific, or have ideas of what we could carry in the shop. I am working to develop a better schedule and will post it here asap. Currently, we are definitely open Sunday, 10 - 12:30, Thursday, 5:30 - 7:30, during most synagogue events, or by appointment.

The middle grades at Avenues had the great fortune of hearing from Matt Green, the subject of a new documentary titled The World Before Your Feet. As a young professional, Matt Green was a civil engineer here in New York City. He had an ordinary life that failed to cultivate his passions and interests. In 2011, he had an epiphany pertaining to this void of adventure in his life and made a decision to walk across the country. He initiated his walk from Rockaway Beach in Queens and decided to head towards a city also named Rockaway Beach in Oregon. Matt spent many months on this journey across the country and stayed wherever he was able to find a place to sleep. It could have been in someone’s home or a plot of land where they would permit him to set up his tent. Matt shared some spectacular photos and anecdotes from his journey across the United States; he exposed our community to many parts of the country that many of us don’t access on a regular basis. One theme that repeatedly popped up in his presentation is how he was regularly showered with kindness after some initial skepticism when people inquired about what he was doing. After five months of travel across the country, Matt got on a nonstop plane flight back to New York City in five hours. Upon returning to NY and finding odd jobs and tasks to fill his time, Matt decided that he didn’t want the adventure to end.
When the New Year ball dropped in 2012 (the same year as Avenues’ inception), Matt initiated his goal of walking every block of every borough in New York City. He is currently in his seventh year of exploration; he has walked close to 9,000 miles to date. He noted that he’s close to 95% complete in his goal. When strolling down certain blocks, Matt takes in all of his surroundings, carefully identifying beauty in places most would never stop and take in—whether it be a guard rail for a tree or a wild apricot plant in the most unlikely location.
In dean groups, many middle grades students have noted that when they walk around New York City, they are much more mindful of details that they would otherwise just overlook—such as the different plants and trees on various blocks. Some students have gone so far as attempting different routes home to see more parts of the city that they don’t normally get an opportunity to see. It was refreshing and fun for all middle grades students and faculty to see and hear from an adult who has really followed through on pursuing something that brings energy and joy to his life. His energy was contagious and deeply appreciated by all who were in attendance.
We are lucky to have Matt Green come back for Minimester in April where he will lead a small group of students (grades 6–8) who are studying the history of the Chelsea neighborhood and will deeply explore historical markers that many of us casually walk past and overlook daily.

Hi - I'm looking for a good butcher or grocery that sells bone-in beef short ribs (flanken) for kalbi (galbi.) Freshdirect does sell, but typically, unless it's a Korean or Japanese grocer, they don't slice them down to the 3/8 in cut that's needed for making kalbi.... Do not get short ribs from Metro/Loblaws as they are meant for stews not kalbi. If you use kiwi, puree it with the mixture above in step#1. If you don't feel like cooking the Korean Kalbi right away, you can put the marinaded Koren Kalbi in a Freezer Bag and put in the freezer until you are ready to BBQ it.
This simple recipe for Kalbi, or Korean Beef Short Ribs, uses the Sous Vide method of cooking. Cooked low and slow, this international dish delivers tender, juicy boneless ribs that are perfect for a weeknight meal or an at-home dinner party with friends.... Hi - I'm looking for a good butcher or grocery that sells bone-in beef short ribs (flanken) for kalbi (galbi.)

29/03/2013 · Korean Galbi is cut in segments alongside the rib bone shapes and it is thicker while LA Galbi is cut through the rib bone, usually displaying three rib bone eyes. It is also thinner, hence easier to marinate and quicker to cook on a BBQ grill.
Kalbi (KAHL-bee): A traditional Korean BBQ meat dish, kalbi is marinated short ribs (either on the bone or cut into pieces) cooked on a grill.

Three SFA partners – Dr Deepa Pullanikkatil (Co-Director), Dr Boyson Moyo (Malawi hub Director) and Dr Brian Barrett (Glasgow hub Director) co-authored this open access article as part of SFA (published in the Journal of Maps in March 2019).
This paper outlines a project drawing together an artist working on creative GIS, a geomatics scholar, an NGO leader, a rural geographer and soil scientist, an environmental geochemist, and a political geographer. With a shared interest in the social and physical processes affecting people’s lives in Malawi, and the possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration, the team engaged in practice-based mapping of our data sources and respective methodologies. The project relates to two sites in Malawi: Tikondwe Freedom Gardens and the Likangala River. The paper details our practices as we shared, debated, and repurposed our data as a means of situating these practices and data. Using paper and pen, whiteboard, PowerPoint, and web-design software, we note here our effort to map a ‘space of experimentation’ highlighting, and reflecting on, our diverse disciplinary orientations, training, instrumentation, recording, and reporting procedures, as well as bodily practices that enable and give animation to these factors.
