Top Belgian Thai resto gearing up to celebrate its 40th birthday

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:54:47 GMT

Almost 40 years and counting….. that’s at least one venerable Belgian restaurant business.It was way back in 1984 that Bois Savanes first took its bow.Apart from giving its name to the famous George Orwell book it was the year of Band Aid, when Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated and the original Apple Macintosh personal computer first went on sale.But the year was “notable”, here at least, for another happening – the birth of a restaurant business that, remarkably is still going strong today.The “original” version of Bois Savanes opened that year in an impressive town house in Rhode-Saint-Genese.It was first run by the grandmother (Jeanine), then the mother (Maryse) of current co-owner, Marie Back.Marie took over ownership with her brother Jerome in 2006 and they subsequently opened another “branch” in Saint Job. A third, in the Schuman area of Brussels, followed later.Back in 1984 Bois Savanes was one of the very few Asian (let alone ...

Bridge: Sept. 4, 2023

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:54:47 GMT

It was the first of the month — a time when no female is deadlier than the mail. I found Unlucky Louie in the club lounge, wrestling with a fresh stack of bills.“My sweet wife’s a human dynamo,” Louie groaned. “She charges everything she comes in contact with.”Louie might pay off his credit card bill if he did better in his penny game. He was declarer at today’s four spades, and West led the king and jack of diamonds. East overtook (too late) with the ace and led the jack of clubs: queen, king, ace. Louie drew trumps but lost a heart and a club.“Hearts broke 4-2,” Louie shrugged, “so I couldn’t get a discard for my club loser.”LAST DIAMONDEast would not have overtaken the second diamond to lead a club from his king, so Louie must play a low club from his hand. He draws trumps, ruffs his last diamond in dummy, takes the A-K of hearts and exits with a club.When West wins, he has no more hearts. He must lead a club...

Ask Amy: Why would they let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone?

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:54:47 GMT

Dear Amy: My granddaughter is 6. Her parents want her to grow up to be independent. This manifests itself in many liberties and responsibilities, some of which I think she is too young for.I have never said anything to the parents about this aspect of their childrearing, but recently I witnessed two cases where I felt their approach is much too lax.In one case, they allowed her to come down a slippery marble spiral staircase with inadequate handrails – alone.She ended up falling but thankfully was not seriously hurt.The other incident was in a restaurant when she needed to use the bathroom. Instead of accompanying her, they told her, “You know where it is, go ahead.”The bathroom was a single room with a women’s stall right next to a men’s stall. An outer door enclosed the room with both stalls inside.I said nothing but went with my granddaughter and stood outside her stall.(When I was 6, I was molested at a park, so I know how quickly and easily molesters can...

I would know — I was one of them.Throughout my 13 years of incarceration, I held a prison job whenever possible. From the kitchen of the city jail in Bristol, Virginia, to the mess halls of federal prisons in West Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, I worked. At first, I didn’t think of myself as exploited. As far as I was concerned, I was just doing my job and my time the best way I knew how.It wasn’t until I worked at the UNICOR factories in Butner, North Carolina, and Allenwood, Pennsylvania, where I was housed for a combined five years, that I mad...

EU research chief nominee wants ‘stronger ties with like-minded countries’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:54:47 GMT

BRUSSELS — The EU should work with its friends on research and innovation to win the geopolitical race to control new technologies, the European Union’s aspiring innovation chief Iliana Ivanova has said.Ivanova is scheduled to address a select group of European Parliament members on Tuesday. The grilling will determine if lawmakers accept her nomination by the Bulgarian government and see her take over from compatriot Mariya Gabriel, who left the EU’s executive branch in May to become national foreign minister. “I will focus my efforts to put the EU at the forefront of the new technological race and increase its competitiveness in the face of increased economic competition,” Ivanova said in written replies to lawmakers’ questions ahead of the hearing. “Creating stronger ties with like-minded countries is essential in this challenging geopolitical context” and will “reinforce” the bloc’s economic and technological security, ...
