Man who attacked homeowner in his own house left jacket behind containing documents identifying him

A man attacked a householder in his home after convincing the victim he was looking for a long lost friend in the neighbourhood, a court has heard.

Anthony Connors (42) of South Richmond St, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to burglary at Linenhall St, Dublin, on June 20, 2016.

Garda Aidan Noonan told Fiona McGowan BL, prosecuting, that Michael Tonra was putting his rubbish out when Connors stopped him and asked him about someone who he said lived in the area.

Mr Tonra believed Connors to be genuinely trying to track down an old friend. He offered to write down Connors' contact details to pass it on to the neighbour and went back into his house to get some pen and paper.

When he came back to the front door Connors was standing six feet into the hallway. Mr Tonra said to him “please get out” but Connors pushed him and tried to force his way past him.

Mr Tonra later told gardai that Connors' demeanour had totally changed from normal to extremely intimidating and threatening to him in his own home.

Gda Noonan said that the homeowner stood his ground and in a violent struggle, the two men fell to the ground. The court heard Mr Tonra got the upper hand and pinned Connors to the ground and began to try to reason with him.

He asked Connors, “what's wrong, what can I do?” but Connors replied by saying he was going to punch him and threatening to return to the house later with other men.

Mr Tonra then banged Connors' head against the fireplace and pushed and kicked him towards the front door, the court heard. After he got Connors out the front door, Connors continued shouting and banging on the door and repeated his threat to come back later with others.

The court heard that when Connors realised his jacket, which had come off during the struggle, was inside the house he banged on the window and said: “I won’t come back but just give me my jacket”.

Mr Tonra rang gardai and Connors left the scene. Gardai came to the house and found bail bonds and other documentation in Connors' name in the jacket. They were then able to get CCTV from a nearby courthouse from the same day that showed Connors wearing the jacket.

Gda Noonan said that Connors has 60 previous convictions including 16 for burglary, four for aggravated burglary, five for false imprisonment, ten for robbery and one for impersonating a garda.

Mark Lynam BL, defending, said his client has had a very difficult life and has spent most of his life in prison.

Judge Karen O'Connor said this was a nasty and vicious offence and said the court must protect people from this type of behaviour.

She adjourned sentencing to December 19 next and remanded Connors in continuing custody.

Abortion laws 'require unjust self sacrifice of women', says doctor

Personal stories of women who have had abortions and crisis pregnancies will be heard by the Citizens' Assembly in March.

It will also hear from a range of advocacy groups at next month's meeting.

Yesterday's session started with a debate between pro-life and pro-choice specialists on the ethical aspects of abortion.

Dr Donal O'Mathuna, a senior lecturer in ethics, decision-making and evidence at Dublin City University, told the assembly the issue of autonomous decision-making about abortion was unfair to the unborn.

"Where is the fairness in this for the unborn, who are totally without power? Relational autonomy holds that in relationships we must consider our responsibilities towards others, not just our rights," he said.

He urged rape victims to give birth because abortions wouldn't bring "justice".

"Rape is abhorred. But the unborn had nothing to do with the harm that was inflicted there. Why should they be the ones who have their chance of life removed because of that terrible situation?"

Dr Joan McCarthy, of University College Cork, however, said the Eighth Amendment trampled on women's autonomy rights and posed serious risks to the mental and physical health of pregnant women. She said the amendment required of expectant mothers a self sacrifice that was unreasonable and unjust.

She told the Assembly she objected to the term 'abortion on demand', describing it as a "harsh description of the decision the woman has to make".

"She isn't choosing from a menu, she has to take in the constraints, other children, dependants, poverty, her health risks, her life risk."

Next month the assembly will hear directly from women who have been affected by the Eighth Amendment.

"Hearing personal testimony is important as it allows the citizens the opportunity to hear first hand about how the matters they are discussing at these weekends affect women and their families," said assembly chairman Ms Justice Laffoy. "We are developing a work programme for the next meeting that will bring this testimony to the members in an informative manner."

Berlusconi (81) eyes up yet another stunning political comeback after Sicily vote

Crispian Balmer

Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi looked poised yesterday for a stunning political comeback, as his rightist bloc claimed victory in an election in Sicily that puts it in pole position for a national vote due by next May.

The regional Sicilian ballot, held on Sunday, was seen as a dry run for the nationwide election, with many of the island's problems reflecting those of the country as a whole - high unemployment, a debt mountain and sluggish economic growth.

An influx of migrants was also a key issue.

With 93pc of the votes counted, a centre-right bloc backed by the four-times prime minister was running more than five percentage points ahead of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, with the centre left, which governs at the national level, a distant third.

"Sicily, just as I asked, has chosen the path of real, serious, constructive change, based on honesty, competence and experience," the 81-year-old said in a video posted on Facebook.

Nello Musumeci, the centre right's candidate for governor of the island, had 39.9pc of the vote, while the Five Star's Giancarlo Cancelleri had 34.6pc. The centre left's Fabrizio Micari was lagging on 18.5pc.

The result puts Berlusconi back on the political map after years of sex scandals and graft allegations which seemed to have reduced the billionaire media mogul to a spent force. He cannot run for office due to a 2013 tax fraud conviction. But he hopes the European Court of Human Rights overturns this ban when it reviews his case later this year - which would pave the way for a possible national challenge.

He returned to the fray after open heart surgery last year and campaigned actively in Sicily. Even if the courts deny him the chance to run, he would be an influential figure should the centre right capture power again nationally.

The result on the island deals a stinging blow to former prime minister Matteo Renzi, head of the ruling Democratic Party (PD), which is locked in feuding with erstwhile leftist partners. After a raft of vote setbacks in recent years, Mr Renzi has many critics inside the PD who may now try to mount a challenge to his leadership.

Defiant in its defeat, the anti-system Five Star Movement vowed to reach national government next year, and its leader Luigi Di Maio declared the PD "politically dead".

Opinion polls suggest the centre right will win next year's national vote, but a recent change to the electoral law is likely to stop any one bloc winning an absolute majority, resulting in political gridlock.

Sicily is traditionally a centre-right stronghold which was poached by the PD in 2012 thanks to splits in the conservative bloc. This time, Berlusconi reunited the coalition behind a widely respected leader with a far-right background.

Berlusconi's allies, the Brothers of Italy and the Northern League, reaped rewards with anti-immigrant campaigns, suggesting this will remain high on the agenda for the national vote.

Polish far-right march draws white supremacists from around the globe

Marchers at last year's event (AP)
Marchers at last year's event (AP)

Fascists and other far-right extremists are set to assemble on Saturday in Warsaw for a march which has become one of the largest gatherings in Europe and beyond for increasingly emboldened white supremacists.

The march, scheduled for Poland's November 11 Independence Day holiday, has drawn tens of thousands of participants in recent years.

Extremists from Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia and elsewhere now join Polish nationalists in a public display of xenophobic and white supremacist views since the event began on a much smaller scale in 2009.

The slogan for this year's event is "We Want God," words from an old religious Polish song which President Donald Trump quoted in July while visiting Warsaw.

Mr Trump praised Poland for what he described as the country's defence of western civilisation.

Rafal Pankowski, head of the anti-extremist association Never Again, said that despite the reference to God, the march should not be viewed as inspired by religious beliefs.

Far-right "neo-pagans" plan to take part along with Roman Catholic groups.

Mr Pankowski, a sociologist, said: "We know that Donald Trump is not the most religious man, and I think that most of the organisers are not very religious, either.

"But they use Christianity as a kind of identity marker, which is mostly about being anti-Islam now."

The Warsaw march has grown so large it might be the world's biggest assembly of far-right extremists, he said.

The organisers include the National-Radical Camp, the National Movement and the All Polish Youth, radical groups that trace their roots to anti-Semitic groups active before the Second World War.

In a sign of the rally's international reach, American white supremacist Richard Spencer was scheduled to speak at a conference in Warsaw on Friday - until the Polish government said Mr Spencer was not welcome in the country.

The far-right conference still is being held.

The emergence of Central Europe as a crucible for neo-fascism carries a number of paradoxes. The region, once stuck behind the Iron Curtain, has seen impressive economic growth since Poland, Hungary and other countries threw off communism, embraced capitalism and joined the European Union and Nato.

Few of the Muslim refugees and migrants who have arrived in Europe since 2015 have sought to settle in that part of the continent, preferring Germany and other richer countries in the west. Nonetheless, anti-migrant views run high.

Political scientist Miroslav Mares, an expert on extremism at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic, said Central Europeans hear about attacks by Islamic extremists in France, Germany and England and fear that "beyond the borders is a state of chaos and war" that could envelop them.

While extremist movements often thrive during hard times, the quality of life is better than ever now in a region that has known wars, occupation and oppression.

However, like others in the era of globalisation, many people feel frustrated that the improving economy has not benefited them. There are complaints that wages remain much lower than in the west, while inequality has grown since the end of communism.

These frustrations, combined with a souring mood toward established elites, have helped far-right parties in recent elections in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.

In Poland and Hungary, right-wing governments promote tough anti-migrant policies and historical whitewashing to glorify their nations.

Sociological data show that the generation of Poles which has only known democracy is more prone to xenophobic and far-right nationalism than their parents' generation, with younger Poles paradoxically "turning their backs on democratic values," Mr Pankowski said.

"I think many of them will keep those far-right views inside them for decades to come," he added.

"It's not an issue that will disappear."

Hair, Skin & Nails Supplement

Hair, Skin & Nails addresses the potential nutritional deficiencies that may be hinder the health, growth and overall appearance of your hair, skin and nails. These deficiencies can cause instances of weakened connective tissues, reduced keratin production, and follicle health problems.

Important Components of Hair, Skin & Nails Supplement

Biotin improves the strength of nails and allows them to grow longer. It also helps to repair broken and fragile hair. Low biotin levels can contribute to hair loss and a rash around the mouth, so an adequate supply of this nutrient is crucial for strong and healthy skin and hair. Biotin deficiency affects approximately 1 in 200,000 people in the US population.

Zinc is essential for healthy skin and hair growth. It accelerates the renewal of skin cells, and it’s been proven to effectively heal skin problems like acne, rashes, and cuts. It also has anti-inflammatory abilities and may help soothe skin tissues. Zinc is crucial for hair health – insufficient levels of zinc may lead to thin, dull hair, as well as hair loss. The global prevalence of zinc deficiency is approximately 31%.

Methylsulfonylmethane, known as MSM, may support keratolytic action to help slough off old skin cells, acting like a natural exfoliator from the inside-out. Silica is a mineral component of collagen and elastin and is known to support strong nails and healthy hair. When you are younger, your body has abundant levels of silica – this is why children have silky hair, soft skin and strong nails. As we age, our body’s natural supply of Silica decreases, causing brittle nails, thin hair and dry, wrinkled skin.

L-Proline and L-Lysine are two amino acids that are crucial components for healthy and strong hair. These ingredients also help balance your body’s susceptibility to occasional skin sores. Avena Sativa is known for its powerful skin-soothing abilities. It keeps your skin hydrated, helping to reduce dry skin, irritated skin and inflammation. Avena, or oatstraw, also has a rich source of additional nutrients and minerals to round out this formula that supports the building of strong, healthy skin, hair and nails.*

From the outside in

HERE’S A FUNNY thing about Ken Loach. If you viewed his quotes in isolation – as the basis for a play, perhaps – you could easily imagine them being delivered through a megaphone by a bearded firebrand. The film-maker remains no less ardent in his socialism than he was when starting out in the mid-1960s.

“Cinema is a victim of market forces,” he says. “The studios have damaged it and pushed everyone out. Cinema is an industry. So, why should it different to cars, fast food or whatever? That’s the reality.”

He really gets into his stride when discussing The Great Satan. “I really don’t like American culture,” he says. “There are great things about America. But I can’t stand the Hollywood model.”

He does not, however, come across as a bellowing guerrilla. Now 75, Ken, whose charming The Angels’ Share is released this week, continues to speak in a sweet, reasonable voice. He comes across as wearily disappointed rather than properly furious.

The political landscape remains bleak for men of Loach’s inclinations. When, after a spell in Oxford, the working-class boy moved into theatre and television, the post-war consensus was still in place. Pulling on his sad face, he fondly remembers an era when collective ownership was still regarded as a legitimate enthusiasm.

The election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 put an end to all that. “Unemployment brought about a poverty of spirit as well as a financial poverty,” he says. “Everything became about deals – Alan Sugar on the television and all that.”

And yet. Ken Loach has prospered in the post-Thatcher era. He first came to prominence with the (for once the cliché is appropriate) ground-breaking TV drama Cathy Come Home in 1966. That tale of homelessness was followed a year later by Poor Cow, his first theatrical feature, and then, in 1969, by the transcendent, flawless Kes. The future should have been bright. Kes, the story of a working-class boy and his kestrel, regularly sits towards the top of polls conducted to find the best ever British film.

Sadly, the industry then more or less shut down. “Yes, it was nothing but Danish Dentist on the Job and other comedies that didn’t travel,” he says.

Mostly confined to TV, he made only a handful of films in the 1970s and 1980s. Then, in 1990, as Mrs Thatcher faced defenestration, he returned with the searing Northern-Irish drama Hidden Agenda. Since then, his warm, politically charged class of naturalism has graced cinemas on a near-yearly basis. He won the Palme d’Or at Cannes for The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Last Sunday The Angels’ Share surprised tipsters by taking the Prix de Jury (essentially third prize) at this year’s event.

“I live in the West Country and we got this call at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning,” he says. “We got to Nice Airport and it was pouring with rain by then. By 25 to seven, I was stuck on the road with no coat. We had to run along the front pulling bags behind us. And eight minutes later, I was making my way to the auditorium in a black jacket. They really like to wind up the drama.”

Cannes has been very good to Ken Loach. It is interesting to note that no other director has received so many nominations for the Palme d’Or. Should we be surprised? His films are, after all, very much rooted in their English or Scottish locations.

“Maybe that’s part of it,” he says. “If they do seem to enjoy them, then that’s maybe because they are specific. Generalised films that exist in a mid-Atlantic world always seem phoney. But also the Europeans do have a more rounded sense of cinema-going. In Britain, it really is about Hollywood.”

Over the past 15 years, since teaming up with Scottish writer Paul Laverty, Loach, raised in the English midlands, has focused much of his attention on the working-class people of Scotland. The Angels’ Share deals with a group of unemployed lads who hatch a scheme to steal a small portion of a recently uncovered barrel of hugely valuable malt whisky.

The film does feature the predicted social commentary. But, as it progresses, it transforms into a hugely good-hearted romp. One can’t help but think of Ealing Comedy and of that studio’s Whisky Galore in particular. It is surely the lightest film that Loach has yet made.

“We actually thought it was quite a serious film,” he says. “Because it’s based on the fact that there’s this one million young people who will never have work. They will never have that security. What does that do to their self-respect? We thought that, rather than turn that story into a tragedy, we would turn it into an adventure, a romp.”

The marketing wonks have, with depressing inevitability, elected to mention The Full Monty in some of their commercials. The picture is unlikely to be quite that successful. But it will surely play well to mainstream audiences. At its heart, there is a twisty moral quandary that adds to the fun. Laverty and Loach follow a troubled young father as he tries to escape a life of crime. But doesn’t his big redemptive act – the whisky heist – mark another descent into lawlessness?

“No, not really. What they take is something that has a notional value of lots of thousands of pounds. But it’s bought by someone who doesn’t even know what it tastes like. It’s a bit like bankers and their bonuses. They take money out of nothing. That’s what happens to malt whisky. People buy these expensive bottles, which they don’t drink, as a way of showing their alpha-male status.”

If The Angels’ Share does do the business, there is a danger that Ken’s status as a quiet rebel might further be challenged. I’ll whisper it quietly. I don’t much imagine that he likes the idea. But Ken Loach is surely closing in on national treasure status.

“I don’t think there is any danger of that,” he says with a bristle.

Really? He has defined a style. Along with Mike Leigh, he is often listed as among the best British film-makers of his generation. Even the French love him. “I don’t know if I’m regarded at all,” he says. “Curiously, quite a lot of the Sunday papers wrote about Cannes without mentioning us at all. So what? I think writers or film-makers or whatever should be outsiders. A journalist should be an outsider. You need to have a critical eye.”

I assume that he has never been tempted by Hollywood. The odd producer must, surely, have waved an adaptation of some best-selling book in his face. Hey, if things had gone differently, he might have become Sir Ridley Scott. “Every now and then somebody offers something,” he laughs. “If I’d gone, I’d have gone in the 1970s after we’d done a couple of films. There was an offer from a studio, but we had a young family and I never was interested in American cinema.”

Never? He must surely tolerate the odd picture by Howard Hawks or John Ford. These are crucial building blocks of the medium. “No, not really,” he says. The ideology does not appeal to me. It’s all to do with the lone gunman who will sort things out. It’s about individualism and conspicuous wealth.”

One hopes that even right-wing lunatics will recognise Loach’s extraordinary integrity. Influenced by the emotional truth of the Italian neo-realists, he has remained stubbornly true to that pared-down aesthetic. Schooled in a class of post-war Marxism that rejects the cruel ecology of market forces, he remains intolerant of capitalism and – in the form of the United States – its most conspicuous creation.

He will never become Lord Loach of Nuneaton. Offers from the Palace must, however, have come his way. After all, several of his contemporaries – notably Scott and Alan Parker – now shoulder knighthoods.

“Yes, there was an OBE offered in the 1970s,” he says. “But I think you’d betray what you stand for to take something that’s in the name of the British Empire. It’s not really an institution to be proud of. Is it?”

So, the National Treasure Authority can keep its distance? Do I have that right?

“They draw you in. I would never want to be drawn in. Look, if you get embraced by the establishment, the point of that embrace is always castration.”

If they haven’t got his man parts by now, I’m pretty sure they never will. Resist the embrace, Ken.

Fuelling the Energy Sector through IT

NUS-ISS teams up with Singapore's Energy Market Authority to harness the power of strategic IT planning for a high-performance, knowledge-based public organisation.

Technological developments in recent decades have had profound impact on service delivery and the way organisations conduct business. It has enabled companies to connect with stakeholders more rapidly and from almost any corner in the world, paving the way towards increased productivity and collaboration.

At the same time, the shifting IT landscape gives organisations a compelling reason to evaluate their digital strategies regularly. It forces many to comtemplate the technologies, skills and best business practices that are relevant and critical for long-term growth and success.

Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA) was no exception. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI). Energy, a core resource for any country, represents the lifeblood of modern economies. As a regulator, power systems operator and industry developer , EMA plays a pivotal role in shaping Singapore's energy sector, promoting market competitiveness and ensuring a reliable and secure energy supply.

Taking the leap

Recognising the power of IT in its mission to forge a progressive energy landscape, EMA initiated a review of its IT priorities and investments in 2013 in support of its business strategies over the next three to five years. The aim was to address recent advances in technological capability, changing expectations on the use of IT, and to strengthen IT leadership, governance, management and capability.

EMA proceeded to work with NUS-ISS under a joint collaborative model - one that would allow both EMA and NUS-ISS to mutually utilise their respective capabilities, resources and market access in the development of EMA's Strategic IT Plan.

"By partnering with NUS-ISS, EMA was able to formulate a deliberate and systematic approach in evaluating IT's contribution to business while tapping into NUS-ISS' Strategic IT Master Planning Methodology," said Dr Kang Cheng Guan, CIO, EMA.

Tried and true

The proven methodology involves technology scanning, interviews with key executives, examination of documents and reports, and an assessment of IT resources. A customised communication plan was also developed to serve as a roadmap for the project team, project sponsor, and other project stakeholders.

Conducted in five stages over a nine-month period, the review exercise was initiated by EMA to focus on five main thrusts: System Refresh and Infrastructure Resiliency; IT Resourcing & Governance Structure; Portfolio Management; Data Sharing, Analytics and Harmonisation; and New Capabilities. with the overall aim to achieve IT optimisation.

The five main thrusts

In good hands

Together with experienced NUS-ISS consultants, the team articulated EMA's business potential, worked out the operational gaps in the IT environment, and put together a clear and achievable Strategic IT Plan aligned to EMA's business requirements.

"The NUS-ISS team comprised experienced consultants who had previously worked as CIOs, or equivalent, in both the government and private sectors. They are knowledgeable and appreciative of the challenges and issues we faced," said Mr Don Wee, Deputy Director (Business IT), EMA.

Getting the right insights

According to NUS-ISS Lead Consultant and Member of the IT Strategy and Management Practice, Ms Tan Lay Ngan, an effective Strategic IT Plan should enable organisations to create proper alignment between IT and business objectives. It entails applying the right techniques and selecting the right IT opportunities in achieving the organisation's mission.

"A well-defined Strategic IT Plan is a management tool that all C-level executives should master and establish - especially those who are serious about using IT to enable growth," Lay Ngan said. Like EMA, companies who are seeking to implement or refresh their Strategic IT Plans can start by building on existing IT systems, applications and expertise to maximise mission accomplishment, she added.

Other useful and relevant considerations include adopting a unified and coherent approach to setting project priorities and investment decisions, and taking a longer-term view of the risks and returns on IT investments - beyond the merits of standalone projects.

"Over time, companies, including EMA, should expect to see their operations and processes becoming more streamlined, standardised and integrated. This would drive their businesses in a more resource-efficient and cost-effective way," concluded Lay Ngan.

Takamatsu: Udon the key to Shikoku castle town’s heart

Contributing Writer

Takamatsu has gained recognition in the last half-century for its specialty Sanuki udon and the incredible gardens of Ritsurin Koen. In the process, the city has quietly become the go-to destination for travelers starting their exploration of the island of Shikoku. As the closest port to Honshu, the castle town flourished under the daimyo of the Edo Period (1603-1868), and has a long history of maritime trading. Today, the town is a city, and is the business capital of Shikoku and the heart of Kagawa Prefecture, with plenty to offer any traveler who steps onto its streets.

Whether it’s by direct bus from Takamatsu Airport or a short train journey from the center, the first stop on anyone’s list is usually Ritsurin Gardens. Famed for its “borrowed scenery” of forest-cloaked mountains and calm boat rides across shimmering lakes, the gardens are known as a place of carefully constructed serenity.

Construction began under feudal Lord Ikoma Takatoshi in 1625 and continued for more than 100 years under the watchful eyes of successive family members until the gardens were completed in 1745. Ritsurin remained a private retreat for the Matsudaira family for more than a century, but was designated a prefectural park in 1875 following the Meiji Restoration.

Split into two halves, the north garden is Western in style and the south is Japanese, with six ponds and 13 mounds creating a world in miniature. The concept of borrowed scenery is common in Japanese gardens — where designers use the surrounding landscapes as a backdrop for smaller scenes — but here that art is perfected. The soft curves of Mount Shiun form a backdrop for the gardens and, rather than marking borders with fences and walls, the edges of Ritsurin merge seamlessly with their natural counterparts, allowing the eye to wander across the landscapes as one.

The gardens are impossible to explore in a hurry: Small hills and viewpoints stop you in your tracks and paths tempt you into hidden pockets of beauty. Following the south garden route you can admire traditional wasen boats as they glide across the main pond and even ride in one yourself. Friendly guides aboard the boats offer explanations of the garden’s construction and notable features as you relax and enjoy the views once reserved for feudal lords. Within the gardens is the Kikugetsu-tei teahouse, perched on the water’s edge and positioned perfectly for autumnal moon viewing. For a few hundred yen, you can relax on tatami with traditional matcha and delicate wagashi sweets, looking out across Nanko pond as boats pass by.

Although its name translates to “Chestnut Grove,” Ritsurin is famed for its collection of pine trees, with more than 1,000 carefully pruned trees lining the garden’s paths. With curved branches and imposing silhouettes, they resemble bonsai trees and lend a magical yet haunted feel to the gardens. One of the most impressive is the Neagari Goyo-matsu pine, which was gifted to the Takamatsu domain in 1833 as a bonsai by the 11th Tokugawa shogunate. It now stands tall, looming over the Kikugetsu-tei teahouse with fantastically twisted branches that provide shade from the summer sun.

Like Japan itself, seasonal changes transform huge areas of the gardens, filling ponds with floating water lilies, arches with hanging wisteria and whole swaths of hillside with autumn leaves. The gardens are home to a gift shop and the Sanuki Fold Craft Museum, displaying a variety of Kagawa lacquer ware, dolls and local rihei-yaki ceramics. Kagawa was the first place in Japan to successfully cultivate olives, and the garden shop is a great place to pick up a bottle to take home.

After you’ve wandered through each and every corner of the garden, you’ll no doubt have worked up an appetite and there’s only one dish to try in Kagawa — Sanuki udon. Known as the “udon prefecture,” Kagawa is home to more than 700 udon shops and is the largest udon producing prefecture in Japan.

Sanuki udon is the local specialty and, alongside Mizusawa udon from Gunma Prefecture and Inaniwa udon from Akita Prefecture, it is one of Japan’s top three udon noodles. Characterized by their chewy and firm texture, the noodles were originally made from Sanuki wheat grown in the prefecture, but are now mostly made from wheat imported from Australia. Due to the udon’s popularity, you won’t have any problem finding a restaurant to try the noodles, but some restaurants are worth a little extra effort.

Traditionally, Sanuki udon are served fast, fresh and with minimal fuss, often in self-service restaurants. The process of lining up, ordering and selecting toppings is definitely speedy, but sometimes it’s nice to savor the moment and enjoy your food.

One of the best spots for this is Shinpei Udon in the Kawaramachi area, which can be found at the end of the city’s shopping arcade. Easily reached from the gardens using the pleasingly retro trains of the Kotoden Kotohira Line, this local favorite is full-service, always busy and pays tremendous attention to detail. There’s both tatami seating and communal counters, and staff speak English, Chinese and Japanese.

Whether you order the summer special of Hiyakake udon, or the warming Shippoku udon in winter, you won’t be disappointed. One of the simplest dishes, however, is Kamaage udon: a portion of noodles served in their cooking water in a rotenburo-like wooden bowl. With a side-serving of a strong, soy-based dipping sauce, you can focus on the texture and subtle flavors of the udon: simple and delicious. It’s easy to see why Japan is so in love with Sanuki udon, and the locals are proud of their specialty. One regional dish, Kamatama udon, is so popular that the local Takamatsu soccer team, Kamatamare Sanuki, named themselves after it. The dish is made with beaten eggs and a soy or fish broth.

As you head back toward the city center and Takamatsu Station, there’s one final spot worth visiting before continuing your journey in Shikoku. Looking out across the Seto Inland Sea, Takamatsu Castle was once one of the three great water castles of Japan. Although little remains of the original structure, it is a site worth exploring and has both unusual moats and well-tended gardens. The Western-style, three-story castle was first built by Ikoma Chikamasa in 1590 and took two years to complete. Just over half a century later it became the residence of the Matsudaira clan, who were relatives of the ruling Tokugawa shogun, and remained under their control until the end of the Edo Period. Although the castle was damaged by bombs during World War II and later demolished, there are two surviving turrets and the traditional entrance bridge remains.

Crossing into the castle grounds, you’ll be greeted by a seawater moat and the sight of wasen boats that can be hired for short rides. The boats pass by the roof-covered Sayabashi bridge that connects the honmaru (core of the castle) to the ninomaru (outer castle). One of the two surviving turrets, Tsukimiyagura, has been carefully maintained and is an impressive feature. Designed for moon viewing, it was used to look out across the sea for advancing boats and to announce the daimyo’s return from his travels. Takamatsu Castle is slated for reconstruction and in 2013, its foundations were restored after years of work, but no further progress has been made since. The gardens are still popular however, with more than 90 cherry trees in the Sakuranobaba area of the castle becoming a busy hanami spot in spring.

However, it is the dry stone garden that is the castle’s real attraction With its aged pine trees and winding paths, it feels a world away from the bare castle walls. Called Naienoniwa, the garden was built in 1917 along with the Hiunkaku — a reconstruction of the original daimyo’s home that is now used for banquets and flower-arranging classes. With stepping stones and bridges crossing ever-empty streams, the sketch-like perfection of the space remains untouched by the movement of water. A sense of serenity and calm envelops the garden, removing you from the busy roads of the city and rewarding explorations into the quieter corners of the castle.

Getting there: Takamatsu is served by Takamatsu Airport, which has direct flights to Tokyo. The city is also connected by rapid train to Okayama City, which is on the JR Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen Line. Night buses run from Tokyo to Takamatsu and take approximately 10 hours one way.

JMU's Fed Challenge Team Looks to the Future

By Matthew D'Angelo

Fed Challenge 2015 WinnersAfter winning their regional competition, JMU’s Fed Challenge team travelled to Richmond to compete in the district level of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank’s Fed Challenge Competition. Despite not advancing to the national competition, JMU’s Fed Challenge team serves as an example for how the College of Business prepares students for the future by providing extracurricular activities that offer both practical and experiential knowledge.

Michael McCullough, a senior economics major, feels that his two-year experience on the team has given him an edge in his field of study.

“These types of college experiences are so important,” McCullough said. “They prepare you so much and it’s really important that students take advantage of them. Fed Challenge has really prepared me for my career after college.”

Federal Reserve Challenge is a national high school and collegiate-based program where students analyze the current economy and suggest policy changes to a panel of judges. The 20-minute presentations are followed by a Q&A portion that tests the breadth of students’ economic knowledge.

“As you move up the totem pole of the competition, they really try and test your knowledge in the Q&A portion,” said McCullough.

Teams who advance through the first two rounds of the competition have the pleasure of presenting their suggestions at the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington, D.C. for a shot at their district’s national title. JMU won this title back in 2013 when McCullough was a sophomore team member.

“The biggest thing that’s changed internally has been the nature of what we’re presenting,” said McCullough. “As a sophomore, the Fed was acting a bit more standard so our policy decisions felt a bit more straightforward. Now, there are a lot of paths the Fed can take, which makes it a lot more difficult.”

McCullough attributed part of the team’s success to their advisor, economics professor Phil Heap, who plays a big role in their preparation for the competition. Despite being the leader of the group, Heap takes a hands-off approach.

“It’s almost like he’s another team member,” says McCullough about Heap’s involvement. “He fosters a collaborative effort among us and helps us think outside the box.”

Heap has been involved with JMU’s Fed Challenge program since 2004. With 12 years of experience under his belt, Heap said he continues to be the team’s advisor because of the exceptional students that he gets to work with.

“I do it for the students,” said Heap. “I end up with a good group of students every year who are very interested in this.”

Both Heap and McCullough hope that one day JMU’s program will return to nationals to compete against other top universities like Harvard, UPenn and Pace. In the meantime, McCullough hopes to leave behind a team that will eventually return to nationals.

“The best way for the team to grow is to expose younger students to [Fed Challenge],” said Heap. “It’s important to be thrown in there and have to learn the content and gain experience.”

Custom Post Permalinks 1.0.3 Released

I just released version 1.0.3 of Custom Post Permalinks for WordPress.

This release fixes a pretty major bug tuft I can’t believe I missed. But it’s fixed now. Enjoy.

Kansas boy transplanted to DC. English major transplanted to web development. Lover of things.

  1. Alex Ciobica · August 28, 2010

    I installed it today on WP 3.0.1, and I see nothing different in the permalinks page. (Yes it’s activated :P)

    Other plugins I’m using are qtranslate and More Types, Fields and Taxonomies.

  2. John P. Bloch · August 29, 2010

    Are your custom post types non-hierarchical? The plugin doesn’t currently support hierarchical post types.

  3. Corinne · September 10, 2010

    Like the other commenter, I can’t get it to work with the plugin – More Types. My post type is not hierarchical. Any idea what’s wrong?

DCPHP Presentation on Git

So last night, Marco Ceppi (@marcoceppi) gave a talk on git at the DCPHP meetup group. Git is a distributed source control program. If you’re familiar with WordPress development, think SVN but not centralized. The talk was very informative. I’ve frequently complained that source control zealots don’t do a good job explaining why the apples of their respective versioned eyes are so very worth plucking. The conversation often goes like this (I’m picking git because it’s on my mind):

Me: so tell me what is so awesome about git.
Me: right, but why?
Them: because it has a great workflow, one that I love.
Me: huh. So git is great because you like the workflow?
Them: … yes…
Me: what it I don’t like it?
Them: …
Me: … ?
Them: oh, you’ll love it. You’ll learn to love it.

So it’s no surprise that I looked at git as some arcane form of arranged marriage.

I should be clear. I love subversion, and as long as WordPress continues to use it, So will I, no question. But if I HAD to use a different source control system, I’d probably go with git.

Marco did a great job of explaining git, its advantages, and its disadvantages too. I’ve never heard anybody make such a good case for any source control program as Marco made last night; and all on its own strengths rather than the observation that it’s not (svn|cvs|mercurial|baazar).

Also, Nacin created a ticket and patch for a bug from his phone at the bar afterwards. Android FTW.

Seattle native and backpacker Skip Yowell and his cousin Murray Pletz graduated from college with no interest in real jobs. Murray's girlfriend Jan Lewis knew how to sew. Murray told her, if she whipped up a prototype and they got it into a store he would marry her and name the company after her. She did. It did. And JanSport was born.

  • 2Spray a 10" no-stick skillet with cooking oil and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onions, red peppers and green peppers. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  • 3Add the pork and marinade. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Insert the tip of a paring knife into 1 cube to test for doneness..
  • 4Place the cornstarch, soy sauce and vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the pineapple (with juice) and brown sugar. Place mixture into the skillet with the pork and vegetables. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Serve the sweet and sour pork over rice.

1928 $50 gold certificate valued at $120,000 at Heritage

2015-06-26 13:40:33

1928 $50 gold certificate valued at $120,000 at Heritage

The 1928 $50 gold certificate is among the finest examples of its type

A 1928 $50 gold certificate will lead a sale at Heritage Auctions on April 23-25 with a $100,000-120,000 estimate.

Graded PCGS gem new 65, the note is among the finest known examples of the issue.

Gold certificates were issued in large numbers by the Roosevelt administration prior to the passing of Executive Order 6102, which banned the privatepossession of monetary gold.

Gold certificate 1928 $50 High denomination US currency certificates had a high rate of redemption due to a ban on gold ownership in 1933

This resulted in a high rate of redemption for large denomination notes. Only around a dozen of the $50 gold stars are known to have survived in a variety of grades.

A $5 1899 Chief silvercertificate is expected to make in excess of $40,000. Graded PCGS Superb Gem 68, the note is the finest example of its type in existence.

$5 silver certificate The note depicts Chief Running Antelope wearing an innacurate headdress

The Native American pictured on the note is Running Antelope (1821-1896), a Sioux leader who advised Sitting Bull during the American Indian Wars.

A pragmatist, he argued for cooperation with the colonists - a stance that set him in opposition to Sitting Bull.

There was some controversy when the note was released as he was depicted wearing a headdress of the rival Pawnee tribe. Despite this, he remains one of the few Native Americans ever to be depicted on US currency.

John Staluppi's 'Cars of Dreams' sell for $11.5m in US auction

2015-06-26 13:04:39

John Staluppi's 'Cars of Dreams' sell for $11.5m in US auction

Dedicated to collector John Staluppi's 'Cars of Dreams', the auction set new Cadillac records

A collection of the finest examples from John Staluppi's Cars of Dreams Museum has sold with excellent results in North Palm Beach, Florida.

The outstanding December 1sale put the auction house on a high note for the end of 2012, with all lotssold and a total realisation of $11.5m.

Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Cadillac dominated the sale, with two model year records set

Auctioneer Donnie Gould commented: "We're thrilled with the results from the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Museum sale. Well-respected in the hobby, John had a very precise collecting philosophy that focused on securing only the 'best of the very best'."

Selling at the top of the auction was a superbly restored 1956 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, which is considered one of the most flamboyant productions of the company's post-war period. The Mandan red convertible brought a 48.8% increase on its $200,000 high estimate to achieve $499,750 - a new world record for a 1956 Cadillac convertible.

Cadillac dominated the top results, comprising three of the four highest selling lots of the auction. However, the second highest bids were seen by a spectacular 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500-KR Covertible in rare Acapulco blue. The 350 bhp machine sold for $264,000, up 32% on its $200,000 high estimate.

More record results were seen by the 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, which set a new world record for the 1960 model at $206,250. The price represents a 37.5% increase on the $150,000 valuation.

Three More Defendants Plead Guilty In New Castle Oxycodone Distribution Ring

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Three residents of New Castle, Pa., pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of violating the federal drug laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.

Christopher Klingensmith, 38; James Cracraft, 39; and Thomas Klingensmith, Jr., 40, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy before United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab.

In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that between September 2008 and June 2011, a drug ring operated in the New Castle area, selling to drug users on the street nearly 50,000 highly-addictive narcotic pills containing oxycodone. Christopher Klingensmith was the leader of the drug ring here, which was supplied ocycodone by co-defendant Larry Dorsey from Florida. Dorsey transported an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 oxycodone on each of six trips he made to Western Pennsylvania. Witnesses saw Christopher Klingensmith with cantaloupe-sized bags of oxycodone, containing thousands of pills.

Drug cash was seized during the investigation, including more than $158,000 from a car stopped in North Carolina in September 2010. The car was being driven by co-defendant David Wooley, with Thomas Klingensmith, Jr., as the passenger. Larry Dorsey told an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent that Christopher Klingensmith had delivered $120,000 in drug proceeds to him on one date.

James Cracraft served as a seller of oxycodone, and as a look-out for the group. Thomas Klingensmith, Jr. assisted his brother in distributing the pills. With 30 mg. oxycodone tablets commonly selling on the street for $25 - 35 per pill, the nearly 50,000 oxycodone distributed in this conspiracy had a street value of between $1.25 million and $1.75 million.

Of the 11 defendants charged in the superseding indictment, nine have now entered guilty pleas, with two others awaiting trial.

Judge Schwab scheduled sentencing for Oct. 15, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. for James Cracraft: Oct. 21, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. for Thomas Klingensmith, Jr.; and Oct. 21, 2013 at 10:30 am for Christopher Klingensmith. The law provides for a total sentence of not more than 20 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant United States Attorney Gregory J. Nescott is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.

The DEA, the New Castle Police and the Pennsylvania State Police conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Christopher Klingensmith, James Cracraft, and Thomas Klingensmith, Jr.

Growth at the speed of life.

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health – Young Children (4–5 Years)

Social-emotional development includes a child’s ability to understand himself or herself, to control and change his or her own emotions, and to form relationships with others.

For young children 4–5 years old, the following skills will typically be developing:

  1. Children will be socially ready to play with others; choose favorite playmates when playing in groups; may argue with playmates.
  2. Children will begin to show confidence in their abilities and environment.
  3. They may become bossy or demanding; may complain, whine or call names.
  4. Children should show an imagination and imitate grown-ups.
  5. Children will begin to follow rules, take turns and share.
  6. They may begin testing boundaries and people.
  7. They may demonstrate fears or insecurities.
  8. Children often make big, boastful statements.

What can you do to help?

  1. Preschool or group play is appropriate now. Be aware that small disagreements with other children are normal.
  2. Talk about the things children can do safely for themselves.
  3. Don’t fight with your child. Have them tell you about their problem; find books and games that demonstrate solving conflicts.
  4. Let your child take part in simple chores and activities (setting the table, feeding pets).
  5. Set simple rules (“You need to take turns” and “I expect you to share”).
  6. Set boundaries and limits and be firm with them.
  7. Assure the child that he or she is loved.
  8. Ask your child to talk about their activities and their family.

Cheek Implants FAQs

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterShare on LinkedInEmail this to someoneShare on Google+Pin on PinterestShare on TumblrBuffer this page
  1. What kind of cheek implants does Dr. Lam use?
    There are many types of implants that are available for cheek augmentation. The two major types of implants that have been used in the market are Gore-Tex and silicone. Recently, it was announced that Gore-Tex would no longer be supporting the implant market. Accordingly, Dr. Lam exclusively uses a specialized type of silicone implant called a “Conform” style that is very soft and pliable and molds gently to the facial bone so that it is virtually undetectable to touch and to sight.
  2. What can I expect during the consultation process with Dr. Lam for cheek augmentation?
    Cheek augmentation can enhance overall facial balance and harmony. In younger patients, cheek augmentation can help create a more beautiful shape to the face and also make the nose appear more alluring in certain circumstances by establishing improved facial harmony. During the consultation process, Dr. Lam will discuss with you options for cheek enhancement with the use of plastic sizers to help determine what degree of cheek enhancement you are seeking. Dr. Lam believes that digital imaging analysis is more difficult as a tool to provide useful information compared with chin augmentation. However, he does use digital analysis in select cases when indicated. Usually, the side profile view can be used to show the desired changes. In a few cases, injection of sterile water into the cheek can also be an informative method to permit you to “try on” your implants for a few hours and to ensure that the size of the implant is properly communicated. Dr. Lam typically performs cheek augmentation with implants in two circumstances: younger individuals and in older individuals without enough fat for fat grafting. In the younger individual who simply lacks good bone structure to the cheek, Dr. Lam believes that cheek enhancement with cheek implants is an ideal way to achieve an improved facial contour. However, with aging or extreme facial thinness, there is a loss of volume throughout the entire face including around the eyes, the cheeks, below the cheeks, and the chin. This facial volume loss that occurs with aging can even occur at the same time as weight gain that is also part of the aging process. However, weight gain usually manifests in the lower cheek and lower jawline and neck areas. Accordingly, Dr. Lam believes that fat grafting is the most important way to achieve global facial balance in the aging face. In fact, a cheek implant in an older individual without fat grafting poses three problems. First, it simply does not provide the level of rejuvenation that fat grafting (see Facial Rejuvenation FAQs) can afford for the aging individual. Also, remember that aging can even begin as early as the mid to late 30’s. The second problem with an isolated cheek implant is that the hollowing around the eyes that occurs can actually be worsened with a cheek implant. Finally, in a very thin person, the cheek implant can actually be visible through the skin. Accordingly, in the very gaunt, or athletic person who lacks sufficient fat for grafting, Dr. Lam prefers to use the implant as a foundation and then to tailor fat grafting over and around the implant. In the very thin person, a cheek implant and/or fat grafting may not be possible and dermal fillers (like Resylane Lyft, Radiesse, Juvederm Ultra Plus, etc.) may be options for you instead (see the answer below and the Dermal Fillers FAQ section).
  3. Describe how Dr. Lam performs cheek augmentation.
    Dr. Lam uses exclusively an intraoral method for cheek augmentation, i.e., all incisions are undertaken from inside the mouth. This technique minimizes the recovery process and also eliminates any external skin incisions. The process is undertaken usually under general anesthesia for patient comfort in Dr. Lam’s own surgery center. The procedure itself is relatively short, taking usually less than one hour to complete. Dr. Lam uses a small bolster dressing in which the implant is secured through the skin to minimize the chance that the implant will rotate or shift during the healing process. The bolster is removed 3 to 5 days following the procedure. Typically, no other external dressing is required.
  4. Does Dr. Lam perform any kind of cheek reduction procedures?
    No. Dr. Lam does not perform bony reduction surgery of the cheek that is popular particularly in South Korea. Most people who reside in the Western hemisphere do not like the look of a flattened cheekbone so Dr. Lam has decided not to include this procedure in his clinical practice. Dr. Lam also does not believe in removing buccal fat, as this procedure can accelerate the aging process and can create an unflattering appearance over time.
  5. Are there other ways to augment my cheeks?
    Yes, there are two principal alternative methods for cheek augmentation that were introduced in a previous question. For the aging cheek, as explained, Dr. Lam much prefers facial fat contouring to achieve the most natural, permanent, and balanced look (see Facial Rejuvenation FAQs for more information.) For those individuals who would like to try on how a cheek implant would look like or who simply are adverse to have surgery performed, office-based cheek enhancement with an injectable filler (see Dermal Fillers FAQs) can be undertaken both in the younger and more mature individual. The recovery time for such augmentation is very short with typically very little to no bruising and swelling. This method is also ideal for someone who has very little downtime or must look good in a relatively short time, e.g., for an upcoming wedding or social/professional event.
  6. Does Dr. Lam lift the cheeks using a midface lift approach for the aging face?
    Dr. Lam has trained extensively in the midface lift, and his first textbook, Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation, explained his method for midface lifting. However, given a new aesthetic philosophy today, Dr. Lam has completely abandoned the midface lift for two reasons. He does not like the look that a midface lift imparts, and he believes volume contouring with fat transfer provides a better improvement in overall balanced and natural facial rejuvenation.
  7. What is the recovery process like following cheek implants?
    The recovery process for cheek enhancement is relatively short. As mentioned, Dr. Lam typically uses what is known as a bolster dressing, which is a small cotton pad that attaches through the skin to hold the implant in place for about 3 to 5 days. This small dressing is removed in the office. During that time, it is obvious that you will not be ready for social interaction with your friends and peers. Thereafter, there is still some degree of cheek swelling but the deforming look of that swelling generally subsides after the first week. Although a mild degree of swelling may persist for several weeks, any noticeable swelling usually has mostly dissipated by the end of the first week or toward the middle of the second week. Also, Dr. Lam can virtually eliminate or significantly reduce your bruising with his laser after your first week. Sutures that are used to close inside the mouth are entirely dissolvable and therefore do not require removal.
  8. Are there any other types of implants that Dr. Lam uses for the face?
    Besides nasal implants (see Rhinoplasty FAQs and Asian Rhinoplasty FAQs for more information), Dr. Lam does not use any other solid implants in the face other than for cheek and chin augmentation. Dr. Lam believes that solid implants are best used to recontour bony shapes of the face that do not move, e.g., nose, cheeks, and chin. He prefers fat grafting and soft-tissue fillers for other soft-tissue deformities or other areas for volume contouring. Using solid implants, e.g., in the lips or other mobile areas, are problematic in that you can oftentimes feel the implant and also the implant is more prone to shift, migrate, or become infected.
