One thing I wanted to try my hand at as an amateur chef was cooking with seasonal ingredients — not only is it cheaper, but it’s also a great way to expand your palette and try new foods because you’re forced to try new things at least 4 times a year. With this recipe, I tried to think outside of the box — I started tracking the seasonality of more unique foods and then thought about what I could make with them. The result? This ridiculous and amazingly tasty tofu and chilled salad dish. I included a coconut herb cheese in the salad to add even more of a warm-weather flavor to it. No lie, the tofu legit tasted like fried mozzarella, so if that’s something anyone misses from their dairy-eating days, then try this recipe ASAP!
What You’ll Need:
- 1/3 block of medium-firm organic tofu
- 1 can of fava beans, drained
- 1 pack of Field Roast Chao vegan slices – coconut herb with black pepper flavor
- 1 full stalk of fresh corn
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 1/4 cup of cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Trader Joe’s chili-lime seasoning
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- airtight container with lid (to marinate the tofu in)
What to Do:
Marinate the Tofu
- Press the tofu with a paper towel or cloth to remove a decent amount of water (the tofu doesn’t have to be fully “dry”).
- Cut the tofu block into 4 even slices.
- Place the slices in the container and put all 3 tablespoons of the chili-lime seasoning in the container a little at a time, covering the tofu pieces entirely on each side.
- Cover container with lid and place in fridge to marinate for at least an hour.
For the Salad
- Peel stalk of corn and clean.
- Turn a stove burner on medium heat and use a pair of metal tongs to hold corn stalk over heat to roast. Be careful not to leave the stalk in one position for too long; turn often, or when you hear a popping sound start– similar to fresh seeds that are turning into popcorn when cooked on a stove top.*
- Once entire stalk has darkened from roasting, on a cutting board hold stalk upright and slice all of the corn from the cob.
- In a large mixing bowl, place roasted corn and entire can of drained fava beans and cilantro.
- Slice lemon and lime in half and squeeze the juice from each into the bowl.
- Add rice vinegar.
- open entire pack of chao vegan slices**, and use a vegetable peeler to slice small slivers of the cheese block directly into the bowl. Add as much as you like but I added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup worth of cheese slivers.
- Mix the salad together, cover, and place in the fridge to chill.
- Remove marinated tofu from fridge and leave out to become room temperature.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Once oil is hot, add tofu pieces (careful of oil splatter!) and pan-fry for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side of each piece of tofu until a slightly hard and crispy crust forms on the outside (the tofu will still be soft inside).
- If desired, place tofu pieces on a dry cloth to release excess oil.
- Transfer tofu slices to serving dish.
- Transfer some of the salad to serving dish. Bon appetit!
* You can also roast the corn on the grill or on a grill plate that goes on the stove if you have one, but I found it quicker and easier to just do it directly over the stove top flame– just be careful!
** this method will likely ruin the pack from being used “by the slice” but you can use the rest of the cheese for something that doesn’t require slices!

Cool Alternative Rock is a track which features a groovy bass riff with a lot of attitude, a fat drum groove and some electric guitars. The bass guitar provides most of the riffs and hooks and when combined with the other instruments the sound created is powerful, exciting and has a great feel. The music has a lot of attitude, swagger and sounds great when played LOUD! This dynamic track would be great for sports videos such as football, MMA and boxing.
If you are interested in using this track in your Videohive project please include a link to my track and email your project link to firstname.lastname@example.org so I can include it on my profile page.

For a brief moment, it seemed like Friday was going to end the week on a positive note, but a sell-off midway through the day ensured that markets would finish relatively flat. All in all, the Dow finished out the day down 2 points and the S&P 500 gained just 0.3%. The euro was able to hold on to its $1.30 level against the greenback, though that comparison is likely to remain volatile over the coming days. Oil had a relatively volatile day, with its prices swinging back and forth between big gains and losses. Crude eventually finished the day up just 11 cents/barrel. Gold, which has been through a tough week, finally posted strong numbers with a jump of 1.5% [see also 12 High-Yielding Commodities For 2012].
Though many were looking to December to bring a "Santa rally", the month has been a disappointment for the most part. Keith Wirtz, chief investment officer of Fifth Third Asset Management said that "75 to 80% of active managers have underperformed this year," believing that many have simply thrown in the towel. Though no matter how the year turns out, active managers fail to beat their benchmarks more often than not, thus spawning the ETF industry to begin with. In an effort to keep investors up to date with today's hectic markets, we outline two of the most notable ETF performances on the day [see also 11 Best ETFdb Stories Of 2011].
One of the biggest ETF winners on the day came from the SPDR Gold Trust ( GLD). This physically-backed gold product has had one tough week, with massive losses on Wednesday putting a damper on what were otherwise stellar returns for the year. After a rough couple of days, many people saw the price of this precious metal undervalued and decided to buy in while it was cheap. Because of this, GLD enjoyed a nice rally of 1.9% on the day. Despite its nasty string of trading days this week, GLD is still up 9.8% on the year, which is more than a number of assets can say [see also Are Gold ETFs The Best Defense Against Euro Drama?].
One of the biggest ETF losers on the day came from yesterday's big winner, the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ( XLU). The fund sank by 1.4% on the day as investors participated in profit taking given the fund's strong performance as of late. Though many funds have had problems gaining traction on the year, XLU has gained about 15.2% since 2011 began, giving it a nice appeal for investors. The fund is also paying out a current 30 Day SEC yield of 3.85%, giving it an added income stream for your portfolio. With not much news for markets to digest on the day, investors felt comfortable taking their winnings from XLU [see also Ten Unexpected Observations On YTD ETF Returns].

Music and sound
Sonic and musical experimentation is an essential part of the research.
The sounds in animaBIRIKI are concrete – they are recordings of real objects and elements from the set design to which vocal experimentations are added.
A group of young musicians from the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana (Italian-speaking Swiss Conservatory) performed the music, which was recorded at the RSI Studios in Besso, Switzerland.
The music, composed for orchestra, is inspired by the rhythm of Biriki’s words, written and improvised from his rhythmic variations.
The animaBIRIKI staff is a group of visual experimenters and artists who, starting from the storyboard, work in analogue and digital format, blending together disciplines and mixing up their different know-how.

The holster fits and works GREAT!!! It also easily conseals.
This is a quick ship item and USUALLY SHIPS IN 48-72 HOURS.
The P80 is the perfect Strong side IWB holster for your Polymer80 pistol. The molds used are CAD designed and CNC milled which guarantees a perfect fit for your custom P80. It WILL work with both your P80 or Glock type slides. It's minimal design is perfect for IWB carry. The holster features a 1.5” clip to secure it to your belt, a full sweat shield and adjustable retention. As with all of our holsters we offer FREE shipping, a lifetime warranty and a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
Not much else to say, great holster, fits perfect, very comfortable(I have the soft pull through loops).
High quality and fast shipping. Fits my pf940c perfectly.
This has a crisp snap when my device is put back in the holster and fits perfect. I had to loosen the screws a turn since it was too tight when I initially tried unholstering it but other than that, it is good overall.
I ordered the P80 holster for a P80 G19 build of mine, and I could not be more happy with the fit and finish of the holster. I tightened up the retention screws a bit, and then applied blue loc-tite to all the screws. The shipping was also very fast.
I got the black carbon fiber version and it looks great. I have a G19 and G17 P80 builds and both fit nicely. The G19 version is much better for concealment of course. Definitely a great option if you are looking for a concealed in waistband hoslter.
The p80 holster is excellent great fit and finish and retention. If you've got a polymer 80 this is a perfect accessory for your carry setup
I've got two Polymer80 PF940C in both the Glock 19 and Glock 23 and the holster works with both models. I used the factory uppers and lower parts kit on both models so they are as close to factory as possible. The pistols fit good and snug without any issues. The only issue I have is that when I switch out my factory barrel in my 19 with the SilencerCo threaded barrel, the pistol won't slide in all the way. The pistol will still fit however it won't click into place indicating a secure fit. Not a show stopper but something you should be aware of if you have a threaded barrel. ***If you have a modified pistol just let us know and we can make sure to work with your modifications.***


Advanced technology keeps the truck on the road while drastically reducing emissions by switching from standard diesel engines to hydrogen engines.
Heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses, account for around a quarter of CO2 emissions from road transport in the European Union (EU). The EU has set high targets to reduce these emissions from 2025 onwards.
The EU-funded H2Engine project can make a significant contribution to achieving these targets. His team demonstrated technology that would allow customers to convert traditional diesel trucks into “clean” vehicles by equipping them with hydrogen engines. The charger was equipped with “hardware” and “software” components to run on hydrogen.
“Our hydrogen technology was created using compressed natural gas (CNG) and conventional diesel components as a basis,” explains Jürgen Nadler, marketing director of project leader KEYOU.
Other common components designed to meet the specific requirements of hydrogen include the engine’s ignition and injection systems and the software for the engine control unit (ECU).
The H2Engine team equipped the truck with a 7.8-litre hydrogen internal combustion engine and upgraded key subsystems using “KEYOU-inside” technology. They proved the concept by successfully starting and propelling the truck.
Renewal for the future
Hydrogen-based technologies are of great interest for transport systems. Vehicles powered by hydrogen internal combustion engines meet EU standards and are considered zero-emission vehicles. They emit only a small amount of CO2, making them prime candidates for cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels.
This technology resolves the conflict between emissions, efficiency and economy, making existing vehicles green without sacrificing performance.
“The performance of a hydrogen combustion engine is comparable to that of a regular diesel engine,” says Nadler.
Compared to hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen combustion engines offer similar technical performance with substantially higher robustness and cost-effectiveness: “Considering the sales price figures, fuel cell vehicles are significantly more expensive.
Once series production volumes are reached, the production cost of a hydrogen combustion engine will be comparable to that of a CNG engine, he says.
H2 engines pull the cart
The H2Engine team has set out to commercialise its innovation: internal combustion engines are more efficient at higher loads, so the heavy-duty vehicle market is the most promising application for the first introduction of this technology. Commercial road transport is a huge market: according to EUROSTAT, by 2021, 3.9 million trucks will be registered vehicles in the EU.
KEYOU has received TÜV approval for its special hydrogen components and has several partnerships with automotive suppliers. The team aims for commercial launch in 2023 and series production from 2024, with a focus on upgrading existing diesel cars.

Stratford-on-Avon: Shakespeare Head Press, 1904-1906. Ten quarto volumes. This is one of only twelve sets printed on pure vellum with a frontispiece illustration in each volume. It represents a monumental undertaking, which took four years to complete and consumed about 250 sheets for each of the twelve copies printed on vellum. The Shakespeare Head Press was founded by A. H. Bullen, who had the idea of printing the complete works of Shakespeare at Stratford-on-Avon as the result of a dream in which he was presented with a set of Shakespeare's works while visiting the town. This is the first edition of Shakespeare to have been published in Stratford and the first major publication of the Press. Although other Shakespeare Head Press sets printed on vellum regularly appear on the market, this Shakespeare set is very difficult to obtain. Volumes I and II are lacking the silk fore-edge ties, spine lettering a trifle rubbed on volume VI, few volumes with minor wrinkling to spine ends, else a fine copy in creamy full limp vellum stamped in gilt. Item #23261

JACKSON — Mississippi voters could have to start showing photo identification at the polls by mid-2014.
That’s according to Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. He spoke today after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain state and local governments no longer need federal approval to change election laws. Preclearance was required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act, in areas with histories of racial discrimination.
Justices said the law doesn’t reflect progress made in the United States over the past 48 years.
The ruling clears the way for Hosemann to start implementing a voter ID law that had been awaiting federal clearance.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the only black member of Mississippi’s congressional delegation, says the ruling “guts the most critical portion of the most important civil rights legislation of our time.”

‘We are warriors’: Women join fight against the military in Myanmar
Kabya May was a non-wearer of trousers prior to taking on the regime of the military in August.
The teacher, 23, from Sagaing, Myanmar, was often seen wearing a htamein, an ankle-length sarong. She’s now part of the Myaung Women Warriors (Myanmar’s first female-only fighter group).
Kabya May said, “I joined because i want to root travel spray bottle travel sketchbook boys photography carnaval photography gucci ring greyhound bus station clearwater travel plaza travel potty out dogs,” using a term that has come to be applied as a derogatory term in Myanmar for security forces. “I joined a women’s-only resistance group to prove that women can be as capable of doing the same things as men.”
Kabya May is just one of many women who have joined the rebellion against the military since the 1st of February. Four female fighters told Al Jazeera that along with destroying the military dictatorship they are also determined to challenge gender stereotypes and ensure women play a part in the creation of a new country.
Al Jazeera is using pseudonyms for Kabya May as well as the other women in this story due to the risk of military retaliation.
Following the time that Min Aung Hlaing, Travel Supreme travel transparency argyle wine astroclick travel craigslist tulsa jordy burrows gang orca scattante road bike bike speaker the army chief was arrested, protests began that featured prominently women.
Garment factory workers were among the first people to demonstrate on the streets and women continue to protest on the front lines of pro-democracy demonstrations. They are also prominent in an ongoing Civil Disobedience Movement and in the forefront of calls for ethnic minority rights.
Sometimes, women have utilized their femininity to fight. In opposition to the belief that it is degrading for men to walk under, or come into contact with a woman’s bottoms women have thrown flags of sarongs, affixed coup leader Min Aung Hlaing’s portrait to sanitary pad and strung sarongs knickers and used pads for sanitary purposes to make fun of security officers and to stop them from doing their job.
Women have been a victim of the military’s crackdown on dissent and dissent: the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners xtm racing auto electrician moore quality one fleet truck parts stroller purple truck salt truck ohio truck sales chillicothe truck 1948 chevy truck (Burma) told Al Jazeera that out of 1,260 people who have been killed by security forces since the coup, at the very least 87 of them were women. over 1,300 of the 12,000 persons arrested, sentenced, or jailed were female.
Women’s involvement in armed opposition movements is not a new trend in Myanmar. A number of Myanmar’s most strong ethnic armed groups boast hundreds of women among their ranks. Naw Zipporah Sein, who was vice-chairperson for the Karen National Union served as the principal negotiator among ethnic armed organizations during peace talks in 2015 that culminated in a historic ceasefire with the military.
However, a study that focused on women working in ethnic armed groups in Myanmar that was published in 2019 by the Peace Research Institute Oslo found that women generally been a subordinate role, that male leaders were unable to recognize women’s capabilities and stifled their ideas, and women’s ability to contribute to peace in Myanmar was “greatly undervalued”.
Fight for equality
The coup has brought about widespread reevaluation and a protest movement, which is mainly led by young people and calling for a total overhaul of the shaky political system as well as social inequities.
Amara The spokesperson for the Myaung Women great western motorcycles spirit motorcycles constant aviation ross aviation midwest street cars cars mcat maximilian david muñiz Warriors, told Al Jazeera that the group wants to challenge the gender classifications.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find truly free checking accounts. At many banks, you’re now required to pay a monthly maintenance fee for the privilege of keeping your checking account open. Such fees can range from a few dollars to $20 or more, depending on the bank and other associated perks. To avoid these fees, you may need to maintain a high minimum daily balance, make regular deposits of a certain size or frequency, or execute a minimum number of transactions in a statement period.
Fortunately, it’s still possible to find free checking accounts. You just have to know where to look. Many online banks offer legitimately free, FDIC-insured (up to $250,000 per account) accounts with few restrictions and plenty of sweeteners. Some even pay noticeable interest.
If you’re looking for a checking account that won’t eat away at your deposits, take a closer look at these options available to customers throughout the United States.
Best Free Checking Accounts
1. Simple Checking Account
Competitive Yields on All Balances in Your Protected Goals Account; Virtually No Fees
Simple is a digital banking platform that centralizes banking, budgeting, and saving under one virtual roof. If there’s a headline here, it’s the very competitive yields on all balances in Simple’s Protected Goals Accounts – Simple’s answer to the traditional savings account.
Simple’s standard checking account doesn’t charge a monthly maintenance fee, regardless of balance, and you won’t find any miscellaneous nickel-and-dime fees at Simple either. The Safe-to-Spend feature is a head-slappingly straightforward tool that automatically accounts for account inflows and near-term expected outflows (scheduled bills out to 30 days from the present), ensuring you always know how much you can safely spend before the next payday. Meanwhile, trackable spending makes budgeting a breeze, and shared accounts empower couples to manage household finances with ease.
- Minimum Deposit and Balance Requirements: There’s no minimum opening deposit and no minimum daily balance.
- Account Opening Bonus: Earn up to $500 when you open new Protected Goals Accounts with qualifying activities. To earn a $250 bonus for each new Protected Goals Account ($250 for Individual and $250 for Shared), open a new Protected Goals Account by 4:59pm PT on 8/31/19. Then, deposit $10,000 or more into the new Protected Goals Account by 4:59pm PT on 9/16/19 (the deposit must post by that time). Finally, maintain a balance of at least $10,000 in the new Protected Goals Account through 4:59pm PT on 12/31/19. If you meet the bonus requirements, you’ll receive a $250 bonus by 1/14/20. Your account must be open and in good standing at the time of the bonus credit. There’s a limit of one $250 bonus per Protected Goals Account.

The Centre on Law and Social Transformation is happy to invite you to a breakfast seminar on LGBT rights in Egypt.
The waving of a rainbow flag during a concert in Egypt on September 22. sparked a modern-day witch-hunt leading to the arrest of 33 people, some of whom were caught in sting operations where the police used fake dating app profiles. Following this episode, a new law that would directly outlaw same-sex acts has gained wide support among Egyptian parliamentarians despite drawing international criticism. These recent developments are the latest illustration of a year-long campaign to oppress the Egyptian LGBT community. What are the social impacts of the current crackdown on LGBT rights? And why does it happen now?
This morning we are joined by Mari Norbakk who in discussion with Vegard Vibe will shed light on these questions. Norbakk is a PhD-candidate working on the issue of men and masculinity in the Middle East.
Coffee and croissants will be served! The event is open to all.
Mari Norbakk is a PhD-candidate in social anthropology at UiB

State Sen. David Schapira makes his pick for the Independent Redistricting Commission: Linda McNulty of Tucson.
McNulty is married to Michael McNulty, who has been the campaign chair for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. So if Sen. Russell Pearce's pick, Rick Stertz, is going to be looking out for Republican Jesse Kelly's interests, we imagine that McNulty will be looking out for Giffords—assuming that Giffords makes a recovery that allows her to run for Congress (and that Giffords doesn't instead choose to run for U.S. Senate if she's healthy enough to return to politics—and desires to do so).
The four members of the Independent Redistricting Commission will now choose a fifth member, who must be a political independent.
Here's the press release from Schapira:
Senate Minority Leader David Schapira announced today that he has selected Linda McNulty to serve on the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.
“Linda McNulty is an exceptionally well qualified candidate, and Arizonans will be well-served by her appointment to the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission,” said Schapira. “We were fortunate to have many great candidates from which to choose. Linda has a sharp legal mind, has traveled throughout Arizona and will dedicate herself to creating Congressional and Legislative districts that both give voters a choice in general elections and protect communities of interest.”
McNulty, a Tucson resident and partner at the law firm of Lewis and Roca, earned a B.S. in Nursing from the University of Rochester and a J.D. from the University of Arizona. McNulty has been practicing law for nearly 25 years and focuses her work in the areas of real estate, financing, business transactions and natural resources law.
McNulty serves her community as the Director of the Pima County Sports and Tourism Authority, the President-elect of the Tucson Chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest.

Bashing Britain’s beleaguered poor because they’re on benefits has dominated the news agenda this week. Newsnight ran a particularly unbalanced piece with US professor Lawrence Mead (who has a voice that makes Stephen Hawkings sound animated) lecturing the downtrodden of Anfield about the need for them to find work. The only other voice to feature was that of Chris Grayling, minister of state for work and pensions, a man who regularly berates the poor for being “workshy” but who once claimed for a flat in Pimlico, close to the House of Commons, despite having a constituency home less than 17 miles away. He also owned two buy-to-let properties in Wimbledon from which he made a profit 100 grand.
The trouble with knocking the poor wretches at the bottom of society is that, with unemployment rising, it is extremely difficult for many people at them to find work, or be accepted back into work culture. Even if every single one of UK millions of unemployed decided to get work today – the vast majority would remain disappointed for a long time to come.
The official statistics are also rarely allowed to get in the way of a good story. But according to this excellent piece of analysis by Channel 4 News, the number of long-term unemployed (the supposed “four-generations of workshy families” who have never had a job) has fallen ten-fold in the last 10 years. The supposed benefits culture the right keep banging their drum about is something of an urban myth.

When it comes to environmental abuse is to be found in all spheres of the environment.
Indeed if there is one area where there has been too much neglect and huge failure by both the traditional parties it is in the area of the environment.
Abuse in our sea, air land and any other natural rescources carries anubaited and has clearly increased in the last legislation where making money by the higher echelons seems to be far more important than safeguarding Malta’s fragile environment.
Simply put, Malta’s environment is very small and limited. It is therefore very important to implement a serious policy, back it up with some legal structure that will not tolerate any more abuse and leave a better environment to future generations as their inheritance from us.
The water table is on the verge of collapse. Past governments have relied on reverse osmosis of sea water. This is an expensive procedure and is totally reliant on electricity. It has many potential points of failure and will have disastrous consequences if it stops. On the other hand, drilling for fresh water for irrigation is so cheap that it is pumped up without serious control. ‘Alleanza Bidla’ Will ensure that natural rain water will be better harvested and utilised directly rather than simply allowed to run off into the sea carrying with it precious top soil.
New housing (both public and private) should be built so that they use up less energy and also capture enough water in wells for use. Recycling of such water should also be encouraged via money saving incentives.
Fish farms will be placed in a selected area away from shore so that the marine ecosystem is better protected. Proper monitoring will also be carried out so as to avoid abuse and misinformation.
Ships will not be allowed to berth on ‘Hurd’s bank’ which is showing much ecological damage. Ships will be force to anchor in least 400m of water as opposed to the present 200m.
Vehicles (especially plant and government vehicles) not presently meeting EU standards will have to have emission filters fitted so that we may reduce air pollution significantly.
MEPA is clearly not functioning properly and ‘Alleanza Bidla’ is open to discussion to see this authority dismantled and replaced by a better system that will see it function with the interest of the people first and foremost rather than the present situation whereby the developer’s interest and his associated partners seems to come first.

The platform, Empresas por la Eficiencia Energética, has reason to celebrate this year. On the one hand, the group headed by Endesa has achieved its best results, saving, since it was formed, over three and a half million tonnes of CO2. On the other hand, Empresas por la Eficiencia Energética continues to grow, with the incorporation of new and valuable stakeholders. A few months ago, Carrefour, the leading retail company in the distribution sector, joined names such as Cemex, Cepsa, Meliá Hotels International, Philips, Renfe, Telefónica, Toyota and Unibail Rodamco.
The platform is already an exemplary model in Spain in the area of energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions and its members provide communicators and anyone interested in the subject with their experts to provide further insight into the measures and achievements reached.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


In spite of the robotic persona they've cultivated for years, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo elected to make their new album, Random Access Memories, in a real studio, with real musicians. Hear the elusive electronic duo explain why being human after all was important to them.
Singer and songwriter Bryan Ferry is a musical icon whose career spans from the several classic albums released by his band Roxy Music in the '70s and early '80s into a long, eclectic and accomplished solo career.
Shirley Manson of Garbage stopped by The Current studio ahead of their Mill City Nights gig last Friday, stopping for a quick chat with Barb Abney live on the air and recording a more in-depth interview with The Morning Show's Jill Riley.
Robyn Hitchcock is one of those mysterious musicians whose prolific output, massive talent and widespread influence has earned him a devoted cult following, plus a warm appreciation among hardcore musicheads across generations, even as he remains a largely under-the-radar figure in the mainstream.
Dave Grohl and his bandmates in Nirvana were practically unknown in 1991 when they pulled up to Sound City in a rusted white van. But the album that came out of that session, Nevermind, turned rock music on its head. In his new documentary and accompanying soundtrack, Sound City: Real to Reel, the Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters founder pays homage to that studio.
Brother-and-sister duo Wild Belle fuse rhythms and textures from across the globe with smart pop songwriting and enchanting melodies to create a uniquely alluring sound.

Morocco breaks all records with the fruit most desired by Spain
Neither melon nor watermelon. The blueberry is the fruit that Morocco sells the most to Spain and, apparently, it is also one of the most exported to Southeast Asia, where it has managed to establish itself as one of the main suppliers of the fruit in the region. The increase in the income of the middle class and the influence of tourists, who introduce their consumption habits, could explain this boom.
During the first eleven months of 2023, Morocco exported a staggering 1.400 tons of fresh blueberries to the Southeast Asia (excluding Vietnam), which represents an increase of 50% compared to the entire year 2022. All, without the peak of exports having yet arrived, which usually begins in December, so the final results of 2023 may still be more impressive.
Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia are the destinations that receive 96% of exports. In addition to Southeast Asia, other markets to which Morocco exports blueberries have also experienced an increase in exports, such as Thailand, which with 30 tons almost tripled its imports and Macau, with a growth of 3 tons.
On the other hand, Moroccan blueberries have expanded their presence to Indonesia, a market in which they have debuted with a 720 kg test batch. In addition to Morocco, countries such as Australia, Zimbabwe and China also recorded notable growth in their blueberry exports to Southeast Asia in 2023. Zimbabwe, which surpassed Morocco's growth rate, reached an impressive 1.500 tonnes.
IMF projections indicate that economic development rates in Southeast Asia will be second only to those of India and China in 2023-2024, further supporting the growth of fresh berry consumption in the area. Morocco, with its outstanding contribution, has emerged as a key player in this flourishing market.

There is one thing Iím certain of
in this life-
Yes through every trial and each tribulation-
I am fully certain of my salvation.
On this journey in the midst
of each storm-
God is always with me keeping me safe and warm.
He covers me completely with His wings-
And watches over me and tenderly sings.
Only under His shadow is found
joy and peace-
So may my thankfulness and praise never cease.
The Lord is my shelter, my guide and only hope.
In Him I am victorious and do more than just cope.
The Lord carries me on His back
through the sky-
And takes me to great heights where I can fly.
I am fully certain that the Lord is with me-
And only in Him can I fulfill my destiny.
The Lord is ever holding me safely
in His palm-
So through each storm I can remain completely calm.
Through the Lord alone is love, peace, and security.
And I look forward to praising Him for all of eternity.
