Hello Intel ,
My system is having a similar issue. Although I believe Kack left out the details that the system does not even start. The systems fan still receives power and the network Ethernet port receives power but nothing else works. The systems fan will start for a couple seconds then turn off. Then after a slight pause the fan will start again at a little higher pace. The unable to boot trouble shooter isn't sufficient either since there is power to the system fan but the power LED never lights up.
It wouldn't be possible to update or roll back the BIOS versioning since the rest of the system is unresponsive. None of the output display ports work and I can't even get power to my keyboard and mouse from any of the USB ports.
The system had the typical Blue screens of death and random systems restarts which led to random freezes and system bricking.
Any details or feedback would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing back.
Jake, you're absolutely right.
Every. Single. Detail.
I didn't have any BSOD or anything, because I disconnected my monitor as soon as that issue arose. I didn't bother with my monitor given the system wasn't turning on at all.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I am really glad someone has the same issue I am. I really thought it was just me.
I ended up submitting a service request and I am now sending my defective product back to Intel and receiving a replacement [they deemed it defective after I told them (repeatedly) that I tried their troubleshooting tips: specifically the tips under "memory issues" and "no boot"]. That took about 2 business days to get all of that done.
I suggest you do the same if you need a functioning PC stat.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
It's possible that you are dealing with a defective unit; however, please try the following suggestion in order to cross out a memory issue;
- Remove and reinstall the memory modules to make sure they are fully seated in the sockets.
- If you've installed two memory modules, try removing one of them.
- If you've installed one memory module in an Intel NUC that has two memory slots, try moving it to the other memory slot.
- A pattern of three LED blinks during boot can indicate defective memory. To isolate a specific module as defective, boot the system with just one installed at a time. You can also try testing suspected defective memory in a different system.
If you already did this and the issue persists contact our phone or chat support in order to check the replacement options for your unit.
kack, my apologies to you, I am glad to hear that you are getting a replacement. Let me know when you receive it.
You can try BIOS recovery, sometimes system is up but the graphics system is corrupted.
Recovery BIOS Update [KY0042.BIO]—A .BIO file to be used for F7 BIOS Update method or a BIOS recovery process. In the unlikely event that a BIOS update is interrupted, it's possible the BIOS may be left in an unusable state. Use the recovery BIOS update to recover from this condition. It requires a USB flash device or CD.
See instructions here: BIOS Recovery Update Instructions for Intel® NUC
If previous recommendations provided on this forum didnt work and BIOS recovery also fails, please give Intel a call: Contact Support

Double-Lung Transplants Rise After Covid ‘Honeycombs’ Organs: Study
John Micklus’s battle with Covid-19 started final Christmas and ended 5 weeks later with lungs so broken that medical doctors mentioned there was nothing they may do to save lots of him.
“The doctor’s recommendation was to get my affairs in order,” Micklus mentioned. The 62-year-old known as his spouse from his hospital mattress in southern Maryland. She, in flip, desperately known as a number of physicians, and finally realized of 1 final choice: A double-lung transplant.
Micklus was transferred to the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, the place a rigorous evaluation certified him to obtain lungs from a matched donor days later. He was discharged from the hospital on March 30, marking the middle’s second profitable lung transplant in a Covid survivor.
Hospitals throughout the U.S. have reported an increase in lung transplants for extreme coronavirus circumstances, the Cleveland Clinic, one of many nation’s top-ranked medical facilities, mentioned final week. The grueling surgical procedure could be the solely answer for sufferers who expertise a life-threatening constellation of lung harm inflicted by the virus, a hyper-inflammatory immune response to it, and the physique’s failure to correctly restore the harm.
All of that may trigger the deposition of yellow fibrotic scar tissue, making a “honeycomb change” that makes the lungs utterly stable, mentioned David Kleiner, who heads post-mortem pathology within the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
The course of irreversibly destroys the tiny grape-like air sacs via which fuel is exchanged within the lungs, Kleiner mentioned in a lecture on Covid autopsies in July. “Patients really only survive to that fibrotic stage if they are intubated,” he mentioned, including that the dangerous scarring can happen inside a few weeks of lung harm.
Such circumstances have led to lung transplants around the globe, in line with a examine in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal final month, highlighting one more dimension of the pandemic’s burden on each survivors and health-care assets.
The process might be accomplished efficiently in fastidiously chosen sufferers, mentioned the authors from the U.S., India, Austria and Italy, who proposed standards for choosing appropriate Covid sufferers.
In sufferers who cannot be weaned from a ventilator or a man-made lung that oxygenates blood, a donor organ could be the solely life-saving choice, in line with medical doctors at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the place the primary double-lung transplant in a Covid case within the U.S. happened in June 2020. It’s accomplished 18 extra since, and has not less than 5 sufferers ready for donor organs, Ankit Bharat, the hospital’s chief of thoracic surgical procedure and surgical director of lung transplantation, mentioned within the Journal of the American Medical Association Thursday.
“We are seeing a significant surge in patients who recovered from moderate to severe Covid and are now coming to the outpatient setting with progressive oxygen requirements and pulmonary fibrosis,” Bharat mentioned.
Writing in a examine in Science Translational Medicine in December, Bharat and colleagues described three sufferers — aged 28, 43 and 62 — whose surgical procedures every took about 9.5 hours, required double the quantity of blood usually infused through the process, and concerned two weeks of post-operative intensive care.
More than 107,000 individuals are ready for a life-saving organ transplant within the U.S., in line with the United Network for Organ Sharing. Waiting lists for a full lung transplant, the place the organ is supplied by donors who’ve died, are sometimes prohibitively lengthy.
Bharat mentioned he is involved Covid could shrink the present pool of donor organs and have an effect on their future availability. Almost 33 million folks within the U.S. have been identified with the illness, he mentioned, including that there are studies that as much as 80% of them, together with many who had been asymptomatic, could undergo lung harm.
“It remains to be seen whether or not other patients who have recovered from mild, moderate, or even severe Covid-19 are going to be organ donors,” Bharat mentioned. “If not, this may lead to a significant contraction of our donor pool.”
For Covid sufferers needing a lung transplant, timing is vital. If they’re accomplished too early, there is a threat that the affected person hasn’t cleared the coronavirus an infection, mentioned Robert Reed, affiliate medical director of the lung transplant program on the University of Maryland Medical Center, who helped take care of Micklus.
You additionally “can’t do it too late, because at that point, patients may be so weak they cannot survive the operation and meaningfully participate in rehabilitation,” Reed mentioned.
Doctors in Japan reported in April the world’s first “living donor” transplant in a Covid affected person who obtained lung segments from her son and husband. The process at Kyoto University Hospital took a group of 30 medical personnel about 11 hours to carry out.
“We demonstrated that we now have an option of lung transplants” from dwelling donors, Hiroshi Date, a thoracic surgeon on the hospital who led the operation, instructed reporters.
Reed, who can also be a professor of pulmonary and important care medication on the University of Maryland, mentioned transplant surgical procedure should not be seen as a option to pace up post-Covid restoration. Lung recipients must take greater than a dozen medicines for the remainder of their lives to forestall organ rejection and infections, and lots of the medicine include poisonous negative effects.
“You would probably rather have a long run of slow rehab and have your own lungs in there than to get a transplant,” Reed mentioned in an interview over Zoom. “But for people that are likely going to die in two years and for people who are essentially crippled by their lungs, it can be just amazing.”
Micklus needs others struggling end-stage lung harm attributable to Covid-19 to know that lung transplants could provide hope. “It’s tough to do,” he mentioned, choking again tears. “It’s physically, emotionally draining, but it’s an opportunity to live again.”

After the party leadership’s victory at the national conference last week, it has emerged that a new party could break away to campaign for a total ban on abortion.
At the Sundsvall conference, party leader Göran Hägglund and his senior colleagues won the support of a majority of party members for his ‘no change’ policy on abortion.
Hägglund, who angered many of his own party members earlier this year with a decision to allow foreign women to come to Sweden for abortions, called for “strong commitments and preventive measures in reducing the numbers of unwanted pregnancies”.
But that does not go far enough for many Christian Democrats. According to the newspaper Dagen, a group of party members have advanced plans for a new party backing a total ban.
One of the men behind the initiative, Per Kronlid, told Dagen that someone needed to represent the unborn children.
“There must be a party which dares to stand for that,” he said.
However, the Christian Democrats’ party secretary Lennart Sjögren said that he did not believe the party was divided on the issue.
“Not as I see it. There were maybe 20 or 30 representatives who said they had a different view to that of the party board. That’s less than 10 percent of all representatives,” he said.
Sjögren added that he did not see a new party as a threat:
“I believe there is a very small proportion of voters who would link themselves to such an abortion party.”

BASIC INFOMATION AND FAQ
Entering the hobby can be a daunting prospect. This page is dedicated to providing basic information to get you started on the road to a sucessfull experience in the hobby. If you have a question that isn't answered please feel free to contact us and our veteran members will be happy to assist you.
1. How do I join the unit?
If you are interested in joining us send us an email through our 'Recruitment/Contact' page. To join the unit you must be at least 16 years of age, you must be at least 18 to use a firearm at an event, members younger than will often be posted as a Medic or Runner. Finally you cannot be a convicted criminal.
Reenacting is an athletic hobby so we recommend you be in at least moderately good health. Activities at a typical reenactment weekend might include; climbing walls, running up to 100 yards (or more) in full pack, hiking 5-10 miles per day, climbing hills and crawling through the underbrush.
Once you contact us typically you will come out to the next event as a Provisional Member of the unit, if you decide you want to continue in the hobby and the current membership agrees that you would be an positive addition to the unit you will be invited to formally join the unit.
Officially you will be a "New Recruit" at your first event, you will not have to pay the Unit Dues but you will have to pay the Battle Fee, usually between $25 - $40. Once you have paid the annual Unit Dues you will become a "New Member" or "Replacement" you will keep this designation typically till after your second or third battle afterwhich you will be a full member of the unit.
2. How much can I expect to spend?
A basic Infantry uniform and kit will run the average U.S. GI re-enactor roughly $600.00. Occasionally there are package deal sales on "Basic Infantry Package" that may lower the cost of your initial gear. A list of "Basic Gear" is listed later in the FAQ. Most re-enactors will eventually want to get additional gear to add to their collections and it is not uncommon to end up spending over $2,000 in various uniforms alone.
These are reputable companies that offer high quality reproduction uniforms and equipment that will not fall apart at your first reenactment.
3. What firearm should I get and how much can I expect to pay for it?
The basic infantry firearm of the US Army in World War II was the .30 M1 Rifle, commanly known as the "M1 Garand," "Garand Rifle" or just "Garand." The least expensive way to aquire one of these firearms is through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). There is often a 4 - 6 month wait for a rifle through this program. If you have the cash Fulton Armory sells newly made M1 Rifles, but those often cost $1,500.00 or more, also Ravenna Armory is another source for .30 M1 Rifles. Finally M1 Rifles often show up for sale at gunshows. This is the perfered firearm of the 2nd Infantry Division (Re-enacted).
The second most common firearm was the .30 M1 Carbine. Although these firearms were historically issued to Officers or personnel who's primary job was not an infantryman (Radiomen, Bazookamen, vehicle crewmen, etc.) it is a less expensive option, usually between $300 - $500 less than a .30 M1 Rifle and allowed for use in the 2nd Infantry Division (Re-enacted). Inland Manufaturing has recently started making reproductions of the .30 M1 Carbine, they can also be purchased from Fulton Armory The now defunct Universal Arms made .30 M1 Carbines from the 1960's - 1980's and although these firearms are generally considered second-rate firearms they are inexpensve and can commonly be found for between $400 - $600 and are perfectly suited for the "re-enactor on a budget." Along with the .30 M1 Rifle the .30 M1 Carbine can sometimes be found at gunshows.
The period correct magazine for the .30 M1 Carbine is the 15 round box magazine, this is illegal under California Law so the 10 round magazine although technically incorrect is allowed by the 2nd Infantry Division (Re-enacted).
A note on designation and ammunition, although both are designated as .30 Caliber the M1 Rifle and M1 Carbine do not use the same ammunition. The M1 Rifle uses the full size .30-06 cartridge and the .30 Carbine uses the intermediate sized, between pistol ammunition and rifle ammuniton, .30 Carbine cartridge.
The third most common firearm is the M1903A3 Springfield Rifle. These were typically not issued to the comman Infantryman, which you will to portray. The best way to aquire one of these rifles is at a gunstore or gunshow, they typically cost around $650 for a good quality gun. Although allowed, please do not bring this firearm to an event unless you have recieved prior permission from the Unit Commander.
4. What is used to simulate gunfire?
At all events we use blank ammunition. The unit's Safety Officer or designated NCO will inspect all the ammunition prior to the event to ensure that only blank ammunition is being carried and "live rounds" were not accidently mixed in. Safety is of the utmost importance to the C.H.G. and the 2nd Infantry Division (Re-enacted).
All semi-automatic rifles need Blank Adapters to fire and automatically reload the next cartridge. Bolt Action Rifles do not need Blank Adapters because the next round is manually loaded by the shooter. Atlantic Wall Blanks offers good quality Blank Adapters for both the .30 M1 Rifle (above left) and the .30 M1 Carbine (above center). The "Clam Shell" Blank Adapter for the .30 M1 Carbine will only work on USGI Carbines. It will not work on most types of Universal Arms Carbines. For Universal Arms Carbines you will need to have the barrel tapped and purchase a screw-in aperture set (above right). We highly recommend you have a trained Gunsmith tap the barrel of your Carbine, doing it incorrectly can destroy the barrel and might cause serious injury to you or a fellow reenactor.

5. What type of soldier am I reenacting?
In the 2nd Infantry Division (Re-enacted) you will be re-enacting a "Straight Leg" line Infantry soldier from Dec. 7 1941 to May 8th, 1945 primarily in the European Theatre of Operation (ETO).
6. What uniform and gear do I need to get? What is 'Early War' vs. 'Late War' gear?
You will be expected to get your basic gear within your first year as a re-enactor. In the 2nd Infantry Divison
(Re-enacted) our basic rule of thumb and advice to new reenactors is to get "early war" gear first. With only two exceptions (the M1917 Brodie (Tommy) Helmet and M1905 Bayonet more on these items at the end) all of the gear that was avalilable and issued in on December 7, 1941 was still in use in Europe by the GI's at the end of the war. The Infantry were at the very end of the supply lines and new equipment and uniforms got to them last, additionally the U.S. Army at the time tended to equip newer formations going overseas with the latest uniforms while Divisions on the line kept their old gear till they were pulled off the line to regroup and reequip.
At the Front offers a "Basic Infantry Package". This package will get you the basics you need to get started in the hobby. Make sure you are looking at the WW2 Army Infantryman Package At the Front also offers Paratrooper and USMC package; although share some gear are incorrect for you impression of a 2nd Infantry Division soldier.
BASIC GEAR LIST
M-1 Helmet and Liner
U.S Wool Trousers
M37 Wool Shirt
Type II Service Shoes or Roughout Boots
T-Handle Shovel Carrier
Cartridge Belt (M1 Rifle & M1903 Springfield) or Pistol Belt (M1 Carbine)
M-1 Carbine Ammunition Pouch (Only if using a M-1 Carbine)
M1924 First Aid Pouch
Shelter Half (or full shelter)
O.D. Wool Blanket(s)
When you hear a re-enactor talking about 'Early War' or 'Late War' uniforms and/or equipment he is usually talking about gear that started to become avalilable in mid-1943 but was not commonally seen in the line units of the 2nd Infantry Division till around September of 1944. Because we often attend re-enactments that take place before the 2nd Infantry Division was sent to contential Europe, such as events depicting the North African or Italian Campaigns, we encourage new reenactors to stick with 'Early War' gear as their starting gear.
EXAMPLES OF 'LATE WAR' GEAR
M43 JACKET and PANTS
First issued in March of 1944 in Italy these did not appear in North-West Europe until around August or September of 1944 and supply problem resulted in these always being in short supply.
M1943 ENTRENCHING TOOL and M1943 ENTRENCHING TOOL CARRIER
COMBAT SERVICE BOOTS (aka Double Buckle Boots)
First introduced in late 1943 to replace both the Paratrooper Boots and Serivce Shoes. These did not see widespread use in North-West Europe unitl late 1944.
The only two pieces of personal equipment that were in use by the U.S. Army at the start of the war that were not in general use by V-E Day were the M1917 Brodie (Tommy) Helmet and the M1905 Bayonet. The M1917 Helmet was used at the beginning of World War 2 but by the time of Operation Torch, Invasion of North Africa, it had been replaced by the M1 Helmet. The M1905 Bayonet was also issued at the beginning of the war for use with the .30 M1 Rifle and M1903 Springfield but by the time of Operation Husky, Invasion of Sicily, it had been replaced by the M-1 Bayonet.
7. Where are the Battles and how often do they happen?
The Batttle Re-enactment events generally happen 5 to 6 times a year with the C.H.G. Typically there will be one or two battles in the Spring, Summer in Winter of every given year. Typical battle scenerios involve Pacific War Battles, European Theatre of Operation Battles, Italian or Africa Campaign and Eastern Front Battles. Battle locations very from Forest area in Big Bear and surrounding areas, to abandon Military Bases and desert enviornments; the locations of all the battles are always published along with the scenerio information and dates. The best way to keep abreast of all the dates and scenerios is to check our website's 'Upcoming Events' page or the C.H.G. website.
8. What should I bring to a re-enactment?
In general do not bring more than you absolutely have to. You will need your uniform, gear, firearm, blank ammunition, ear plugs, if it is a camping event a tent and sleeping bag (Non-period tents are usually set-up in an area away from "Period Camps" ("Period Correct" means gear or equipment that is original to the period being portrayed or reproduction equipment)), personal hygene items (tooth brush, tooth paste, etc.) and finally food and water.
Food can be either store bought food but hidden away till it is eaten or specialtly foodstuff purchased to look like "Period Correct" C & K Rations. Repo-Ration is a good source for "Period Correct" food. For water a good rule of thumb is bring at least one gallon of water per day of event, you may find that you need more or less water once you get more experienced but that is a good guideline to start with.
On the final day of the Battle Weekend everyone in the unit will pitch-in to clean-up the campsite, our goal is the leave the event location in better shape than we found it in.

With Superman:Unbound just released and Mother's Day tomorrow, I felt there was enough serendipity to do a special review today. An animated Superman, a Supergirl struggling a bit to fit in, Brainiac, and a strong presence from a mother figure made Superman Adventures #39 the perfect issue to review today.
'Reunion' was written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer with art by Bret Blevins and Terry Austin. That is a pretty solid creative roster for a KidsWB book. And it shows in the quality of the book. This a nicely nuanced book that is still full of enough action to keep everyone happy.
I also think this cover works well, the trapped heroes looking horrified a bit at whatever villain is before them. There are enough visual cues even from that silhouette to maybe get some idea. But that sub-title of 'A Ghost From Supergirl's Past!' adds to the intrigue.
As Superman Adventures was spawned from Superman:The Animated Series, a short Supergirl history lesson is warranted. In S:TAS, Supergirl lived on Argo, a sister planet of Krypton which was flung from its orbit when Krypton exploded. Thrown into an ice age, Supergirl's scientist mother put the family in suspended animation. Unfortunately, only Kara's pod survived a cave-in. Discovered by Superman, she was brought to Earth and embraced as a 'cousin'.
The issue opens on a somber note with Superman and Supergirl having traveled to Argo to both recover any historical records they can but also to give Kara a chance to say goodbye one last time and get some closure.
As we zoom onto a graveyard service, we see the icy desolation of Argo, and we hear a prayer to Rao for her mother Kala. The composition of that last panel is just wonderful, a sort of up-angle shot from low behind the gravestone looking up on a Kara hidden in shadows, a nice artistic manifestation of grief. The dark tones of the colors contrasted to the bright torches also works.
With the service over, Kal and Kara begin hauling out some computer banks, hoping to recover some of Argo's history. As they are, Kara hear's her mother's voice calling out to her to be careful. Warned by the voice, the two luckily avoid falling off a collapsing walkway.
I like this moment where you can see just how much Kara is hurting. Shedding tears, holding the remains of a doll, hoping to hear her mother's voice. It sounds like it would be cliche ... but I thought it worked here.
Also, in this issue, there is that sense that Superman is trying to rein in Supergirl or treat her like a child. Here he tells her she must not have heard Kala's voice.
Back on Earth, it's Mother's Day and all the Kents are celebrating in Metropolis. While Ma and Pa cut a rug, Kara despairs a bit. She loves Martha and the Kents and feels like family, but the recent episode on Argo has her thinking of her mother more and more. The hope is STAR labs can unlock the records.
The Clark/Kara relationship is always interesting. It really has the sort of ups-and-downs of family. He is overprotective of her and sometimes dismissive, but there is always that core of caring. I like how he comforts her here.
And yet, a panel later when STAR Labs explodes, the very labs where the Argo artifacts are, he tells her she can't join him!
Common sense (with a nudge from the Kents) wins out and Supergirl joins Superman.
Again, I love this interaction. It is Kara's youthful exuberance that is such an important part of her character as she strives to do what's right. Here she riffs on the classic 'This is a job for ...' line.
And Superman's response is equally amusing. He says he doesn't use a tagline, especially when he doesn't know what he is facing. But his 'do you mind?' snark is almost classic Silver Age Superman/Supergirl.
Arriving at STAR, the team is finally met by the Ghost From Superman's Past. The Argo computers went on-line, took over the STAR facility, and even invaded LexCorps computer system.
At STAR, a female Brainiac drone walks out of a chamber. She clearly is Brainiac but she has Kala In-Ze's face and voice. She is based on Kara's mother!
But she is also Brainiac. She creates a red sun lamp in the lab, sapping the heroes of their powers.
And she uses the Brainiac program she downloaded from LexCorp to rebuild Brainiac himself.
But what is with the Kala-based Brainiac?
With Argo slowly dying, Brainiac sent a probe to the planet to gather their data. That probe lived in the only working tech on the planet at that time, the In-Ze lab. The probe watched Kala struggle to find a way to have her family survive. After all that study, she used Kala as a template for her body. And it was her voice that warned Kara on Argo.
But that sounds like a protective mother, as much as it sounds like a Brainiac drone.
However, Kala's love for her family must have been so profound that the probe learned that as much as it learned Argo's history.
When Brainiac talks about destroying the Earth and killing the heroes, Supergirl pleads with the drone. If she learned anything from Kala, she would know that she can't allow the Earth to die. Amazingly, the Kala drone rebels.But she is a simple machine which Brainiac shatters.
And when Brainiac talks of killing Supergirl, the broken drone does the only thing she can. She turns off the red sun ray.
A brief but dramatic battle follows where Superman and Supergirl destroy and dismantle Brainiac.
But there is a splendid coda to the story, another look at this drone.
How great must Kala's love have been to alter this machine's thoughts on life and love?
She even sounds like Kara's mother saying that she can sleep in peace, knowing Kara is loved, and is the protector of Argo's history.
It is a great scene which impressed me when I first read this story. Powerful on many levels.
With a new sense of closure, with this reconfirmation of how much her mother loved her, Supergirl is able to move forward, asking Superman if they can spend the rest of the day with her new family.
What a wonderful story for Mother's Day, showing just how strong and never-ending a mother's love for her child is. Kudos to Dorkin, Dyer, Blevins, and Austin. I hope you all enjoyed it.
For a Supergirl collection, this would be of low-importance for a collection. However, if a fan of the Timm-Verse Supergirl specifically, I think this is a key issue and worth finding.

To the editor:
Like many Methuen residents, I have a passion for certain issues. Being the father of a heroin addict in recovery, I guess you know what issue I am passionate about.
I am one of a growing number of parents who say, "if only I knew then what I know now."
I approached the last two city administrations with the idea of creating a subcommittee to do education on the dangers of addiction and ways to prevent it. You can only imagine the hope I have when I read on candidate Jennifer Kannan's website about her plan for the creation of a task force to address these issues and take action.
I have seen firsthand the positive effect when a community gets involved, and the beauty of it is that it costs little or nothing to get the word out. Thank you to police Chief Joseph Solomon for creating CARES, which has been responsible for saving lives.
Now, I know this task force won't resolve the police contract, lower your taxes or resolve the many issues that face our great city.
What it will do is save lives and spare the suffering of parents with a loved one suffering or dying due to this epidemic.
I commend Jennifer Kannan for making this a priority, and I pledge my support and ask those who know me and know the impact that this epidemic has created to also support her in her bid for mayor of Methuen.

Huawei is pushing to take a global leadership position in 5G technology, but many American officials suspect the company's products could be used by Beijing to spy on Western governments and companies.
A decision will be made soon in the case for Huawei supplying telecom equipment in the UK.
Chinese telecom giant Huawei is willing to sign a "no-spy" agreement with countries including Britain, the firm's chairman said on Tuesday, as the head of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation said Britain must preserve secure mobile networks.
The statement comes after news leaked this month that Huawei equipment would be used in 5G networks in the United Kingdom, creating tension between it and the U.S. The leaks resulted in Theresa May firing her defense minister Gavin Williamson, despite Williamson denying leaking anything.
In January, the administration was preparing the action, which could significantly restrict Chinese state-owned telecom companies from operating in the USA over national security concerns, people familiar with the matter said at the time.
Samsung brings Apple TV app to compatible Smart TVs In the U.S. , its roster of paid channels includes HBO , Starz, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, Epix, Tastemade, and MTV Hits. Apple practically takes over the hosting of the contents, billing for the streaming and allows viewing from the app itself.
Prime Minister Theresa May sacked her defence minister, Gavin Williamson, this month over leaked claims that Huawei would have a role in the 5G network, putting Britain at odds with its biggest intelligence ally, the United States.
Liang, speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with Huawei's British technology partners, said the company never meant to be in the eye of a political storm.
One person familiar with the situation said Trump planned to issue the order on Wednesday afternoon.
Huawei has already signed 5G contracts with 25 countries in Europe, 10 in the Middle East, and 6 in Asia, and the company is hopeful that by signing a no-spy agreement it will see even more 5G contracts in the future. Furthermore, concerns about Chinese law requiring Huawei to cooperate with China's intelligence agencies were simply hype. US officials said Huawei can build vulnerabilities, or backdoors, into equipment.
Liang also believes the decision should be based on economics and security while leaving politics out of the matter.

Yet another Palestinian was shot and killed during protests along Gaza’s eastern perimeter as indirect negotiations to loosen the Israeli blockade on the territory were reportedly nearing conclusion.
The slain Palestinian was identified by Gaza’s health ministry as Ahmad Yahya Atallah Yaghi, 25.
At least 120 Palestinians have been killed during the Great March of Return protests that began on 30 March, more than 20 of them children.
Forty more Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israeli fire in other incidents during that period, and one Israeli soldier was killed by Palestinian gunfire from Gaza.
Children at risk
The theme of this week’s protest was the remembrance of “The Jerusalem Intifada and the Martyr Muhammad Dar Yousif.”The latter refers to Muhammad Tareq Yusif Abu Ayyush, a 17-year-old Palestinian who was shot and killed after stabbing three Israelis in a West Bank settlement, one fatally, last Thursday.
The rights group Defense for Children International Palestine warned this week that children living under Israeli siege in Gaza are “vulnerable to nearly every kind of human rights risk, including the risk of recruitment.”
The group cited the case of Odai Ahmad Mansour Abu Hassan, 11, who died when an improvised device exploded on the rooftop of his Gaza City home in July. The boy’s father, who was also killed in the explosion, was in charge of a rocket unit belonging to the military wing of Fatah, according to Defense for Children International Palestine.
Another child, Hashem Abdulfattah Othman Kallab, 17, was among a group belonging to the military wing of Islamic Jihad when all four were killed in an accidental explosion in southern Gaza in April.
“The Palestinian Authority, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups obligated themselves to not recruit children when they signed a code of conduct in 2010,” Ayed Abu Eqtaish, a director with the children’s rights group, stated.
This week the heads of three UN bodies – while condemning Israel’s killing of children during Gaza protests – deplored “the too often cynical use of children in political rhetoric and propaganda on all sides.”
The trio said “of particular concern” was last week’s call by Great March of Return organizers for Palestinians to protest under the banner of “Friday of our Child Martyrs.”
“Children should never be the target of violence and must not be put at risk of violence nor encouraged to participate in violence,” the officials stated.
The march theme was likely intended to focus attention on Israel’s violence against Palestinian children whose deaths have often been ignored or downplayed by international officials and media.
During this Friday’s protest, Palestinians managed to break through part of the militarized Gaza-Israel boundary fence and seize an Israeli sniper position:
A potential breakthrough was reported to be underway as Egypt and the United Nations mediated indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over Gaza’s future.
According to the Lebanese paper Al-Akhbar, the multistage deal would see the easing of Israel’s blockade on Gaza and the implementation of humanitarian projects after the end of “provocations” along the boundary.
The first stage would see the permanent opening of the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings upon the cessation of incendiary kites and balloons from Gaza that have caused fires damaging thousands of acres in Israel.
The second stage would entail improving the living conditions in Gaza and lifting the siege entirely, allowing the entry of all goods and the increase of electricity from Israeli power lines.
The third and final stage would see the operation of a shipping port, airport and the building a power station, all on Egyptian territory, for the use of Palestinians in Gaza.
This week Israel granted permission for the import of equipment into Gaza to complete the installment of a large desalination plant and several water reservoirs in the territory.
“The entire project, carried out by American companies that are operating under a Gazan contractor, is slated to cost 60 million shekels ($16 million),” the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
“The project was postponed for months because of the security situation in Gaza and Israeli restrictions on the movement of goods into the Strip.”
Israel bans gas and fuel
Haaretz added that the approval was made days before Wednesday’s announcement by defense minister Avigdor Lieberman that the Kerem Shalom checkpoint – Gaza’s sole commercial crossing, controlled by Israel – would be closed until further notice.
“Gas and fuel has been banned from entering the Gaza Strip though the crossing,” Lieberman stated. “But food and medicine are exempted from that decision until the incendiary kites and balloons have stopped.”
Gisha, the Israel-based rights group that focuses on freedom of movement, condemned the closure, stating that “Collective punishment is illegal and immoral.”
Calling such measures “a muscle that is flexed for domestic political gain,” the group warned:
“The impact on [Gaza’s] economy, which is already coping with 50 percent unemployment and with the weakening purchasing power of the population that lives in perpetual insecurity – in large part due to Israel’s arbitrary and aggressive interventions – could be fatal.”
Gisha added that “this cruel game in human life is both confounding and outrageous.”

Top customer reviews
I had to take off a star since there was some flaws with calibration that i had sorted out, but you have to do every time you turn on the machine. When I first had this problem the wheel was turned 15 degrees to the left and was registered as the centerpoint of the wheel. After searching and finding someone who had thr same problem as me, i found out that you had to turn the wheel all the way to the left, then plug it in and let it do it's thing. This was annoying but you get used to it ehich becomes part of the routine of this lol.
The quality of this simulation could be better, but the engine inside was spot on. Everything from going in the grass to losing traction made you have adrenaline rush constantly, making your reactions faster and keeping you on the track longer then if you had used a controller. The wheel itself on the other hand, is smaller then the real 458 wheel and is made up of a hard plastic but has a very grippy rubber texture to it. When attached to the motor you dont notice it as much because you're focusing on the road. But over all the feel is much better then what i heard on the g27.
I forgot to mention that i used this wheel for at least 1000 hours going from Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2, Assetto Corsa, and Project Cars. This wheel suited all my needs and i absolutely reccomend this to any amateur who wants to get into sim racing. Puting a smile on my face whenever i start driving is thr best part :)
To be fair, the first one I got broke very quickly, but what little time I spent with the wheel sold me on the whole experience. So much so that I immediately bought a second one and built an entire rig around it with a racing seat. The actual rim and pedals that come bundled with the TX wheel are cheap and I recommend replacing them on an as needed basis, I have overtime piece by piece. (Sim racing isn’t cheap and the more money you spend the better your experience will be).
I bought the wheel sept of 2014 in anticipation of Forza Horizon 2. (Worked great). I have been a Forza fan since the second Forza motorsports. I used a conventional control up until I purchased the wheel and haven’t looked back since. This wheel was built for Forza 6. Its plug and play and my main use of the wheel. I have Project CARS and works great as well but there is a lot more prep with adjusting you’re in game settings. (I have a lot more to say on that but that has more to do with the game than the wheel so I won’t go into it).
After logging many racing hours with my Thurstmaster TX wheel It still works great. I have had no issues with my 2nd wheel. It came with the latest update at time of purchased. The pedals and rim that are bundled with the TX are just fine and are the reason why I gave the wheel only 4 stars. If you have the money and want the 5 star experience you will need to upgrading to a better rim and 3 pedal set and the shifter as soon as possible. With or Without upgrades buy now before Forza Horizon 3 comes out.


Both the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers are providing the voice and leadership that students, teachers, and other educators need as we complete the transformation to shared state standards. If the transformation is successful, public schools throughout the nation will be able to provide all students with the essential body of knowledge that they should know and the skills they should be able to demonstrate. Students from the poorest districts will have the benefit of the same standards as the most affluent students. In the most decentralized education system in the world, a system in which students may be in numerous school districts during their K-12 careers, we will finally begin to unite schools through Common Core State Standards.
Make no mistake, this is a heavy lift. Accomplishing state-shared standards is the epitome of the proverbial “flying the plane while you build it.” This approach makes the standards vulnerable to critics and cynics. Unions have to continue to challenge those critics to be specific in identifying any standard that is believed not to be important enough for every child to learn. Unions have to be persistent in reminding critics that states do have the flexibility to add additional standards unique to their student populations as long as 85 percent of the standards remain universal. Unions have to be responsive to their members by ensuring those members have the information and tools to do their part in the implementation phase.
I worry that the inconsistency in implementation occurring in states will undermine the valuable standards. It is clear that the Department of Education will not assume any leadership due to the politics of opposition to a national curriculum. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) are the best hope for consistent implementation, but the two organizations will fail if they do not assure that the unions are equal partners. It is clear to me that the more mistakes we see on implementation, the stronger the case is made for critics of Common Core State Standards.
Most of these high-stakes tests have never been validated for the purposes for which they are being used. Using old tests on these new standards for teacher evaluation, student promotion, or compensation is malpractice. Failure to validate the uses for these new tests being developed and failure to restrict their usage to validated purposes only will create mistrust and opposition among the very teachers who need to embrace the standards.
Last week, the National Education Association passed a key test of leadership when its Representative Assembly of about 7,000 delegates elected by its three million members overwhelmingly passed a new business item to support Common Core State Standards and to set the expectations for implementation. The expectations included the assurance of adequate time and tools to strengthen instructional techniques, fairness to students, advisory committees to serve as stewards of the standards, and a recognition of the effects of poverty on public school students.
Furthermore, these delegates called for a moratorium on using student test scores for high-stakes decisions until teachers have been able to learn these standards and research and create appropriate curriculum and lesson plans. Standards could still be used for instructional decisions for their students. Both NEA and AFT leadership have previously called for this same type of moratorium. This moratorium will give the time needed for developing curriculum, assessments, and professional development needed for Common Core State Standards to be successful.
Failure to adhere to the the unions’ call for a moratorium on the high-stakes decisions based solely on standardized tests will absolutely crash the effort to have state-shared standards. States have permission from the Department of Education to implement a moratorium. They should take that opportunity. Without this moratorium, Common Core State Standards may be doomed.
There is no doubt that building a strong public school system for every child will be America’s greatest challenge in this century and in this new global society. Standards are the first block. If we are successful, we will be stronger and better able to tackle those other building blocks of curriculum, assessments, professional development, teacher quality, funding, and equity. Teachers are the key, and their unions are their voice. Hear them well!

Michael Todd for In Touch
Now that her legal saga is over, Patricia Krentcil — better known as Tan Mom — says she’s not ready to leave the spotlight. Instead, the bronzed New Jersey native has begun working on a movie about her life, telling In Touch, “I’ll star,” in the film based on her ordeal. “It’s going to portray everything that’s happened.”
The movie, however, won’t be a lighthearted comedy. Patricia says that the last year has been very hard on her family. Ashley, 18, Alec, 17, and Austin, 15, were “badgered at school,” and the stress affected Anna and 4-year-old Addison. “We were all mentally abused,” she claims, “for no reason.”
On Feb. 26, a New Jersey grand jury refused to indict Patricia for child endangerment, after being accused of taking her daughter Anna, 6, into a tanning bed. “What they did to me was not right,” the stay-at-home mom of five declares in the new issue of In Touch. “I have a lot of other opportunities, so I’m just trying to figure out where to move my family.”
PHOTO: Kelly Ripa Dresses Up as Tan Mom
She claims she’s been fielding offers for modeling gigs in London, Paris and New York. “Everybody wants me,” she gushes to the mag, on newsstands now.
Patricia vows to extend her 15 minutes of fame for as long as she can in order to make back the money she was forced to spend on her legal defense, money she says would have been better used to fund her kids’ educations. “I have to rectify that,” she says. “It’s not even near being over.”
For more from Tan Mom on her plans for her future and family, pick up this week’s In Touch, on newsstands now.

By Alex Stein
Evidence law requires the plaintiff to prove every element of her suit by a preponderance of the evidence. Under this requirement, an aggrieved patient will not succeed in her suit against the doctor unless she adduces persuasive evidence of causation. This evidence must demonstrate that it is more probable than not that the doctor’s malpractice caused the patient’s damage. Satisfying this requirement is difficult because doctors can virtually always blame the patient’s damage on her preexisting medical condition. This factor makes causation in a medical malpractice case an extremely complex issue. In the absence of special legal rules, this issue could present an insurmountable evidentiary obstacle for many wronged patients. Courts responded to this problem by relaxing the causation requirements for medical malpractice suits. They have developed what I call the “relaxed causation” doctrine: see Toward a Theory of Medical Malpractice, 97 Iowa L. Rev. 1201, 1216-26 (2012). The doctrine’s idea is to close the exit from liability for negligent doctors: these doctors should not go scot free because of the patient’s preexisting condition that complicates the causation issue.
This doctrine was at play in a recent case Klein v. Aronchick, — A.3d —-, 2014 WL 46648 (Pa. Super. 2014).
This case involved a patient whose doctor treated her chronic constipation with Visicol. The doctor was the inventor and patent-holder of Visicol – a drug that was tested and approved as a preparation to cleanse the colon for a colonoscopy. The doctor’s prescription of Visicol for the patient’s treatment of chronic constipation thus was an off-label use. The patient developed a kidney disease, which she attributed to Visicol. Her expert testified that Visicol was contraindicated and that its prolonged use by the patient caused the disease. The doctor’s experts attributed he disease to the patient’s medical history that included bulimia, hypertension, and an extensive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.). The jury found the doctor negligent but decided that the patient failed to prove causation and dismissed the suit.
Pennsylvania’s governing precedent on relaxed causation, Hamil v. Bashline, 392 A.2d 1280 (Pa. 1978), holds that jurors can (but do not have to) deem causation established whenever they find that the negligent doctor substantially increased the patient’s risk of illness or injury. Another decision, Mitzelfelt v. Kamrin, 584 A.2d 888 (Pa. 1990), indicated that the “increased risk” theory of recovery will only be available to an aggrieved patient who has no sustainable claim of direct causation because of her preexisting condition. Direct causation and “increased risk” thus came to be understood as mutually exclusive theories of recovery. Based on that understanding, the trial judge declined to give the jurors the “increased risk” instruction.
The appellate court, however, has decided that the trial judge was wrong. The court held that an aggrieved patient with a preexisting condition is entitled to both instructions. Put differently, the patient can try to prove causation directly, and if she fails, she could still prove it under the “increased risk” theory.
This is an important and correct decision. For various policy reasons, articulated in the above-cited article, courts should narrow doctors’ entry into “negligence” but a negligent doctor’s exit from liability should be narrow as well. Courts across the United States follow this policy with remarkable and commendable unanimity.

Feds say new cap could contain Gulf leak by Monday
Associated Press Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The BP oil leak could be completely contained as early as Monday if a new, tighter cap can be fitted over the blown-out well, the government official in charge of the crisis said Friday in some of the most encouraging news to come out of the Gulf in the 21⁄2 months since the disaster struck.
If the project planned to begin this weekend is successful, it would simply mean no more oil would escape to foul the Gulf of Mexico. The well would still be busted and leaking – workers would just funnel what comes out of it to tankers at the surface. The hope for a permanent solution remains with two relief wells intended to plug it completely far beneath the seafloor.
“I use the word ‘contained,'” said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. “‘Stop’ is when we put the plug in down below.”
Crews using remote-controlled submarines plan to swap out the cap over the weekend, taking advantage of a window of good weather following weeks of delays caused by choppy seas.
The cap now in use was installed June 4 to capture oil gushing from the bottom of sea, but because it had to be fitted over a jagged cut in the well pipe, it allows some crude to escape into the Gulf. The new cap – dubbed “Top Hat Number 10” – is designed to help BP catch all the oil.

The “deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date” has been revealed.
The photo was made public by NASA and is the first to be taken by the world’s most advanced telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
“We are looking back over 13 billion years … and we are going beyond … this is just the first picture and since we know the universe is 13.8 billion years old, we are almost back to the beginning,” he said. NASA administrator Bill Nelson.
“It will be so accurate that you will see if the planets are habitable or not. And when you look at something as big as this we will be able to answer questions that we don’t even know what the questions are yet.”
The image released tonight shows a cluster of galaxies called SMACS 0723 and is the first of a series to be revealed in the coming days.
It is the farthest that humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of time and the edge of the universe, with part of the image showing light just after the Big Bang.
JWST isn’t just a 32-year-old Hubble Space Telescope upgrade. It is a whole new way of looking at the universe.
The telescope’s light-gathering ability – the best measure of its power to “see” things – is more than double that of Hubble. In addition, the $ 10 billion machine is designed to see objects using infrared light.
Although invisible to the human eye, infrared is the color of the oldest and faintest objects in the universe.
Scientists and engineers from three space agencies, NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, worked for 20 years to complete the telescope.
Along the way, several moves were made to cancel the mission as costs and deadlines were exceeded.
The first major challenge for JWST’s designers was to take a telescope larger than two side-by-side double-decker buses into space.
This required Webb to fold in on itself, origami-style. Its huge 6.5m shiny gold mirror was even made to fold into three segments.
To the surprise of even some of those who built it, JWST unpacked flawlessly once it was safely in orbit in January, with every segment of its mirror now perfectly aligned.
The next challenge was to ensure that Webb was cool enough to “see” infrared light – any hot object produces it.
Although space is cold, a glance at the sun’s rays or at the waste heat of its own systems would blind the telescope’s infrared vision just like the headlights of an oncoming car at night.
JWST’s instruments are cooled to -267 degrees centigrade. To protect it from the Sun, the telescope orbits the Earth on the other side of the Moon, shrouded in its shadow.
Its instruments are also protected and dissipate from heat by five layers of tennis court-sized sunshades that unfolded even once the telescope was in orbit.
The astronaut returns after 355 days in space
NASA publishes audio recording of a black hole
The image of the “door” to Mars generates conspiracy theories
Although scientifically important in themselves, the image of today and those that will follow tomorrow are a first taste.
They were chosen to showcase JWST’s capabilities to an entire generation of scientists who will use the orbiting observatory and also to the public who paid for it.
Many discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics come after multiple observations of distant objects over the course of months or years.
This is especially true when studying distant worlds in other solar systems. But can we really expect a 13.8 billion-year-old universe to quickly give up its secrets?

This is a great use of leftover Sunday lunch vegetables. We always end up with an interesting mix of depending on what vegetable the kids have decided they don’t like this week.
The key additional ingredients are freezer staples – peas and spinach. It used to be that I would throw in some diced chicken thighs but now really loving some tofu or some paneer.
Vegetable and Tofu Curry
200g of tofu
500g of leftover vegetables e.g cauliflower, brocoli, carrots and potatoes
8 blocks of frozen spinach
4 cups of frozen peas
1 medium onion
1 clove of garlic
1 thumb of ginger
1 tbsp of garam masala + 1tsp extra
1 tbsp of turmeric
1 whole green chilli
1tsp of mustards seeds +1/2tsp extra
1tsp of nigella seeds
2 green chillies
2 handfuls of tomatoes (if in season and ripe) or half a tin of chopped tomatoes
1. Fry the spices and seeds in sunflower oil.
2. Add the garlic , ginger and onion until softened
3. Add the tomatoes, spinach and vegetables and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Finally cube the tofu
5. In a separate pan fry the tofu with oil and a teaspoon of garam masala and half a teaspoon of mustard seeds for a couple of minutes, until cooked
6. Serve on top of the vegetable curry mix
Social Media is often blamed for isolating people. But in my local community it can often be a great way of bringing people together. Our local Facebook page is used to sell and give away items, recommend tradespeople, it’s helped people borrow emergency heaters when their boilers pack-up, helped find temporary dog-walkers, baby-sitters share surplus veg and eggs.
It also means people launching their own business can market them and get a chance to share their skills.
The other night – Tali of Falafel Baffle and More posted she was going to be delivering home-made falafel and pitta bread in the area. Now I am a huge falafel fan, I’ve pretty much decided it would be my last meal. I am seriously considering buying a deep fat fryer just to be able to make my own as we eat them once a week.
I placed an order for sweet potato falafel and a bag of pitta bread. The falafel and bread arrived at my door, frozen easy to re-heat in the microwave (or as I like my falafel crunchy – under the gril) perfect for the next night , you can also order cabbage salad , vegetable pickles and hummus.
The falafel were delicious and the pitta bread actually puffed up and could be used as pockets something no store bought falafel has ever managed. Untypically my 6 year old decided to wake up and she loved them too , so that’s another falafel convert, bit annoying though as I will have to share.
Check to see if they are delivering to your area. https://www.facebook.com/falafelbaffleandmore
Nothing better on a cold wintry day that a massive bowl of stew and this Korean tofu dish definitely hits all the spots.
This was made with home-made kimchi – I’ve been making my own kimchi for a few months now after a cookery course at the lovely Inkyung’s Kitchen . Beware it is fairly addictive and we are very fortunate to have a cellar to store it in as the smell seems to seep out of the most airtight container.
This stew is usually made with some pork belly in it but I think it worked pretty well without.
Korean Soft Tofu Stew
This makes enough for two hungry people
- Anchovy and Seaweed stock ( made by simmering 5 dried anchovies and a 2inch piece of kombu in 1.5 pints of water for 30 minutes) and leaving to cool. Then strain out the seaweed and anchovy
- 400g of soft tofu chopped into 1 cm cubs
- 2 tbsp of gocuchang chili paste
- 2tbsp of korean red pepper flakes
- 2 large spring onions – finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic – finely chopped
- 2 medium turnips – finely sliced
- 2 cups of kimchi (recipe below)
- 2 handfuls of watercress
- Bring the stock to a simmer with turnip, onions, garlic , red pepper and chili paste.
- Add the kimchi and tofu and simmer for 10 more minutes
- Before serving stir in the watercress
- 1 large chinese cabbage
- 1 fresh red chili
- 4 tbsp of red pepper flakes
- 1 thumb of ginger
- 5 spring onions
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of salt
- Slice the cabbage and remove the cores.
- Chop roughly into two inch long pieces , you don’t want it too small.
- Scatter the salt over the cabbage and weight down with a plate. Leave until the cabbage feels softe
- Blend together the chilli , pepper flakes , ginger and garlic.
- Roughly chop the spring onions.
- Wash the cabbage, in a colander under running water for five minutes
- Mix together the chili garlic paste with the cabbage and spring onions
- Put the cabbage into a clean sterilised glass jar , and place a disc of greaseproof paper on top push down firmly.
- It can be used immediately but it is better to wait a week or so.
I’ll be honest a month ago when Nick said he was going to be pescatarian for a while I did think – this won’t last long. This is a man who would literally count the pieces of chorizo on his plate and ask if I thought I had more.
I was vegetarian for 10 years between 13 and 23, so I get it and know how to cook plenty of veggie food. True the eldest kid and I have sneaked out for fancy burgers. But I have enjoyed the challenge and it’s got me away from some of my go-to – chuck some chicken in a pile of vegetable recipes. Tonight’s dinner was delicious, griled mackerel, cooked wholemeal bulgar wheat, cucumber , pickled turnip and home-made Kimchi , sprinked with Korean Pepper , seaweed and sesame seeds
Love these big bowls
I was reading this article about how actually open-plan offices don’t really work and negatively effect individuals well-being and productivity. Other research has suggested we should be working from coffee shops
I heartily agree. After years of open-plan office work, I mostly work from home now and it’s heaven. There are no office politics, no requests to show people how the photocopier works/ re-format their word document . No just asking my opinion when I am right in the middle of something.
But as the social isolation can get a bit much I do like to have the odd morning working in a coffee shop. I always thought it would be distracting but actually in the noise and hub-bub of a cafe I can manage to tune everything out largely as it doesn’t have any relevance or interest me.
Today I worked and had lunch in the lovely Bun Mii Café it looks small from the outside but inside there is large back room with plenty of open tables.
If you need something to fuel a working frenzy Vietnamese Coffee is just the ticket, made with coffee and condensed milk, it’s like rocket fuel. For a more mellow approach they also have 31 different types of tea.
It’s a simple menu , Pho (Vietnamese Soup) , Noodle Bowls and summer rolls another of my favourites, but the main attraction for me are the Banh Mi, a, crispy baguette with served with a filling of pork/chicken/vegatables , pickled vegetables , crispy vegetables and a spicy dressing.
This is no soggy or chewy baguette, oval shaped and locally baked. It’’s light and crispy bread, packed with flavour, for less than the price of a soggy Subway sandwich.
I’ll definitely be back to try the Pho
Just as I attempting to do Dry January. Nick has decided to have a few weeks off meat (but including fish). It’s coninciding with my attempts to get into using Instagram.
Pad Thai is a dish I love and it’s pretty Instagram friendly, but I have never mastered cooking it myself. However I am nothing if not determined and this dish is pretty close to something from a restaurant – though I probably need to get more liberal with the sugar and oil.
1 large carrot finely grated
2 handfuls of cabbage finely shredded
1/2 red onion finely sliced
1 clove of garlic
2 handfuls of fresh breansprouts
1 tbsp of dried shrimp
2 handfuls of dried rice noodles
2 tsp of tamarind
1 tsp of fish sauce
1/2 tsp of brown sugar
1/2 tsp of korean chili pepper
Fresh coriander leaves
2 tbsp of peanuts , toasted and crushed
- Simmer the rice noodles in boilin water with the shrimp.
- Fry together the vegetables (carrot, cabbage, onion and garlic) in sunflower oil until softened.
- Mix together the sugar, fish sauce , tamarind and pepper.
- Once the vegetables are cooked add the eggs and stir to cook quickly
- Once the egg is cooked, add the noodles and beansprouts.
- Cook for 2 minutes, add the mixed sauce and cook for one more minute
- Serve with a scattering of coriander leaves, peanuts and a squeeze of lime juice.
I am lucky to live in a wonderful community at this time of year our local online bulletin board is full of people raising money , gathering food for the foodbank.
The lovely Inkyung who runs regular Korean cookery classes and pop-up takeaways has also stepped up recently saying she wanted to raise money for bereaved families for whom this time of year can be particularly difficult.
Despite having two small children and running her own business she has in a a few short weeks galvanised the community with donations of time and ingredients and will be hosting a a pop-up Korean Food Stall from 12pm til 2pm as well as 5-7.30pm at 78 Holme Road West Bridgford NG2 5AD.
All funds raised will be donated to the Childrens Bereavement Centre a uniquely special centre, where children, young people and their families from Nottinghamshire who are affected by terminal illness, death or parental separation, can access the support and guidance they need.
Many busy Mums and Dads are giving up their time over the next few weeks (I’ll be there on the 12th of December 2017) to make up the frozen mandu (Korean dumplings) – either pork or vegetarian , that are for sale on the day to takeaway. These are just £10 for 15 these are perfect New Years Eve/Christmas eve snacks. She’s even put together a video of how to cook them.
Pre-ordering of food on the day is essential via text to Inkyung on 07852186279 of via her Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/inkyungkitchen/
Korean style burger £5
lotus root chips £2
popcorn chicken with a sweet and tangy sauce £5
vegetarian mandu (which is a Korean dumpling) with a spicy sauce £5

This month one of the independent cafe’s Spoke and Co in our neighbourhood. closed. A real community hub and conveiniently opposite the school for a post-school run coffee hit / mega-breakfast.
It brought home how important it is to use your local independent shops that bring so much to the local community and economy.
But as the big chain restaurants have struggled in our main Shopping precinct – The Victoria Centre – Independent Nottingham Street Food moved in offering an alternative pop-up residencies for local independents at weekends
Now for a weekday treat – Nottingham Coffee Club is Open from 8am Monday to Saturday for 200 Degrees Coffee – Roast House they also stock local independents Mumma G’s Bakery, Bluebird Tea Co., Doughnotts, The Bakehouse, Ugly Bread Bakery
I tried to go a few weeks ago but they had been totally cleared out of supplies by Black Friday weekend shoppers. This time Issy and I popped in as a reward after the always horredous new shoe buying trip. I needed a hit of caffeine and Issy had definitely earned a hit of sugar in the form of a cinammon danish the size of her head.
The coffee was great, the danish delicious , I was amazed she didn’t go for a massive chocolate or jam number.
The only thing to note is they don’t take cash so don’t forget your debit/credit card.
My Dad was a very strange cook. But he did cook – a lot – he made is own pork scratchings in the microwave (Bacon rind full power 20 minutes – try it), fried his own Cod’s Roe, brought live crabs back from our Dorset holidays to boil in a big pan, ate every version of offal and game. He had us spend beach holidays gathering mussels and woodland walks searching for and gathering fungi And everything he ate was covered in freshly ground black pepper.
Growing up he would make a dish he called – “Fishy Rice”, which I now realise was a version of Nasi goreng -Indonesian stir-fried rice. I never asked for the recipe I know it had smoked mackerel, fish sticks ,rice and that it stank the whole house out when cooking. I know as kids we refused to eat it.
He died when I was 19 . It’s taken me a long time but now that I have kids I think maybe he was quite sensible. Because, if my kids even sense that I am eating, they will demand and devour my food in seconds. By making food that frankly terrified me, he ensured he got to eat his meal in peace. The only way to prevent my kids eating anything is if it smells “weird” or if I declare it “spicy”. Something my Dad achieved with every dish.
I know there are those that delight in their kids being gourmets, but honestly while they still feel like olives are a treat why go there! I’d rather enjoy my mussels in peace.
This is my version of Fishy Rice, simmering the dried shrimps with the rice produces a pungent smell almost certain to deter little mouths.
Yet is it so truly moreish. The beansprouts on top give a lovely crunch though you don’t have any don’t worry too much this is a great dish with any leftover vegetables.
Special Fishy Rice

No trip to the town centre with my six-year-old is complete without a trip to the Ugly Bread Bakery. A great place at the top of Hockley and now with a second venue on Market Street in Nottingham.
The interior is all exposed wood and pallets. But you can’t help but be drawn in by the piles of freshly baked bread and hunks of focaccia filled with deli meats and cheeses. Ther focaccia and their fab collection of pizza are grilled super-fast in the bread oven so it’s great for a quick meal, before the cinema/theatre. But it’s also definitely worth a linger as it’s fantastic for people watching especially from the first floor balcony.
For those who need their caffeine fix the coffee is excellent too with a tiny custard – filled cannoli.
Ugly Bread also a great range decent number of alcholic and soft drinks including a cabinet filled with juices from Chegworth Valley , if you have never had apple and beetroot juice the pink colour is stunning.
Now you see it now you don’t this was Em’s first trip a couple of years ago, when she totally demolished a chorizo pizza. I was slightly hoping to snag a few slices but lesson learned I now order my own pastrami , cheese and chilli foccacia.
Ugly Bread Bakery

Swansea's fans applauded the Hillsborough Inquests verdicts when they met Liverpool FC at the weekend, but as this video shows, that wasn't the first Welsh tribute to the landmark judgement.
The Llantrisant Male Voice Choir performed a superb and moving rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone in memory of those who lost their lives and as a tribute to the dedication of their friends and families, as reported by our sister website Wales Online .
The video was recorded at the choir's rehearsal and has been viewed nearly 250,000 times.
Colin Williams, a spokesman for the choir, said: "Before and after it was performed it was very quiet in the room. It was very emotional and I know it touched a chord with everyone in the room.
"There's a lot of football fans in the choir who were talking about the Hillsborough disaster yesterday so we thought we'd film our tribute and post it online.
"The response has been incredible and the video has been liked, shared and viewed thousands of times."
Llantrisant Male Choir is one of the oldest choirs in Wales and was formed in 1898. The choir has performed all over the world, in LA, New York and next week in Florence.
