THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE BETWEEN CEPSA AND IBERIA FOR THE DECARBONIZATION OF AIR TRANSPORT.
Cepsa and Iberia have sealed a new strategic alliance for the development and production of biofuels for aircraft whose origin won’t affect the environment and biodiversity. This coalition is benefitial for both companies and it will be a first stone on their way to sustainable air transport.
Why did Cepsa and Iberia signed an alliance?
In the words of Maarten Wetselaar, CEO of Cepsa:
“We share with the Iberia Group the common goal of promoting the decarbonisation of transport as a tool to combat climate change”
In addition, sustainable aviation fuels are currently scarce and expensive, so it is in the interest of both companies to establish a joint strategy. Cepsa becomes a supplier, and Iberia secures its preferential access.
According to the International Air Transport Association, global aviation contribute to global warming with around 2% of emissions. That is why, looking to the future, companies in the sector must do everything they can to make it better.
What does the agreement include?
One of the main objectives of this agreement is to follow a roadmap to promote the use of sustainable fuels for aviation. This roadmap will allow a progressive transition to full decarbonization.
Also, according to the agreement, electric aircraft and engines powered by green hydrogen will also play an important role in these two companies’ race against climate change.
[VIDEO: Signing the agreement] –> https://grupo.iberia.com/videos/details/1899?b=1
Why is this good news?
Cepsa is one of the leaders in the supply of fuel for aviation in Spain, and Iberia is also one of the most important airlines in the country.
The fact that such important companies make decisions on a global scale for the sustainability of their activities is good news for the environment and also for the users.
The ecological transition has begun, and it is unstoppable.

McLaren has outlined the "noticeable" gain that should come from their car upgrades in the next few races.
The team will bring the first raft of updates to the Red Bull Ring, with the rest being split between the next events at Silverstone and the Hungaroring.
It follows the troubled start to the season for McLaren in which they failed to meet their pre-season targets, leading to Technical Director James Key being replaced by Peter Prodromou and Neil Houldey alongside former Ferrari head of vehicle concept David Sanchez.
Team Principal Andrea Stella said the team is "banking" on the updates to work at the upcoming races and revealed their expectations of what they should bring to the table.
"I'm banking on this package, but across pretty much three races in which we will introduce it, these should be a few tenths of a second - it should be noticeable from a lap time point of view," Stella told media, including RacingNews365.com.
Viewed by others:
McLaren expect updates to turn around fortunes
The team expects the race in Austria to provide a good baseline for where they stand in terms of performance with the updates.
Stella added: "Austria is a track in which we have done well at in the past. I think there is six or seven corners where four of them are high speed which we should be competitive on.
"Our first step of bringing upgrades and I think these can be more important in seeing how suitable the track is to our car."
Stella hopes the updates will enable McLaren to turn around their fortunes this season, as they look to finish more regularly in the midfield battle for points and be in contention for podiums.
"Ultimately this is a milestone in terms of possibly turning around the season. Not only thanks to what we are bringing to Austria, but also thanks to what will follow in the next phase," he said.
"So even if we have only one session, hopefully we'd be able to validate the new package, [then] from there move on to a more competitive situation."


PS4 v Nintendo Switch – Shock sales stat will leave Sony fans STUNNED – Express.co.uk
The respected retail tracker said not only did the Switch outsell the PS4 during its opening week, but it did so almost every single week after that during the first 26 weeks on sale.
In its opening week, the Switch sold 329,152 units while the PS4 sold 309,154 units, according to Media Create.
Overall, in the first 26 weeks on sale – Media Create said the PS4 sold 665,760 units in Japan, which is a very healthy figure.
However, the analysts said the Switch in comparison sold 1,527,962 units in Japan during that same period.
For the PS4, it took 69 weeks for Sony’s console to sell 1,523,471 units in Japan.
The analysis suggests that, in Japan, the Nintendo Switch is selling at a faster rate than the PS4 at the beginning of its lifetime.
And this is in the face of widespread Nintendo Switch stock shortages across the world.

Some fresh leaks detail a complete redesign of the XPS lineup, including the comeback of the large-screen XPS 17 and a redesign of the XPS 15.
Based on an internal Dell road map that leaked in 2019, we already knew the XPS 17 could be in the works, but these latest leaks now offer a detailed look at some specifications of the device.
According to a User Benchmark listing for “XPS 17 9700” spotted by well-known leaker @_rogame on Twitter, the XPS 17 could be powered by the latest 10th-generation Intel Core i7-10750H CPU backed by 32GB of
Elsewhere, this listing shows that the processor has a maximum clock rate of 5.0GHz. It doesn’t mention a specific graphics card, although the road map mentions the Nvidia GeForce 1660 Ti Max-Q.
When it comes to the screen, the listing says that the XPS 17 sports a 3,840 x 2,400 resolution display. This is one of the most believable parts of the listing, as it suggests that Dell might keep to a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is the same as the one used on the new XPS 13.
As for the XPS 15, a separate leak from Reddit revealed its own potential redesign to match the XPS 17. Originally spotted on a Dell product page (which has since been pulled), the image shows off an XPS 15 with no bottom bezel, and a build made out of an aluminum and carbon fiber material. Upward-firing speakers, a bigger touchpad, and larger left and right arrow keys appear to be other features on the laptop in the picture.
The XPS 17 is shown next to it, featuring those same design choices. There are, however, no USB-A ports on either model. Like Apple, it looks like Dell might be going with all USB-C for both charging and data across the lineup. This lines up well with Intel’s announcement that Comet Lake-H would now support four Thunderbolt 3 ports on Windows 10
Other companies have recently shown interest in reviving the market for 17-inch
Even Apple recently launched a big-screen laptop, retiring the 15-inch MacBook Pro in favor of a 16-inch model. Dell would certainly have some competition, to say the least.
- This is the best Dell gaming laptop you can buy
- Does Dell or HP make the best 16-inch laptop? You might be surprised
- This midrange HP laptop beats the Dell XPS 15 in one important way
- The Dell XPS 15 has one major advantage over the MacBook Pro
- Why the Dell XPS 13 Plus still beats the latest competition in little laptops

GW: What did it mean to you personally to be recognised as the recipient of the prestigious 9th GS Modelling Award?
The GS award came as a complete surprise and honour to me. This is highlighted when you look at the list of previous recipients of the award, which includes many people I have known and greatly respected for their contribution to furnace modelling over many years.
GW: How useful to your business are the GS International Seminars on Furnace Design – Operation and Process Simulation in Velke Karlovice, Czech Republic [see the full Sept/Oct issue for a review of the 16th International Seminar on Furnace Design]?
The GS seminar is an important event. It is really the only event dedicated to furnace modelling and gives an important opportunity to meet other modellers from across the industry and hear their views on important developments and challenges.
GW: How do good business relationships with leading technology suppliers such as Glass Service contribute to the success of your role?
Good relationships with the likes of Glass Service are important. Whereas most of my work is concentrated on flat glass, they see the whole glass industry from a wider perspective. For example, developments they make to their simulation software can point to new ways of thinking we should be considering.
GW: How important do you consider the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to be to the successful design and operation of glass melting furnaces?
This is one of the biggest changes I have seen during my career. CFD is now vital for the successful design and operation of a furnace. It offers a tool to test a wide range of ideas out before implementing them on a furnace. We would not now make a design change without first modelling it. Similarly, CFD gives an understanding of what is happening to the glass within the furnace and quantifies the impact of changing the input settings like fuel or waist pipe depth.
It was CFD combustion modelling by one of my colleagues, Mike Haden, that gave us the confidence to run the ‘world first’ hydrogen firing trials at the Pilkington UK float furnace in 2021. The knowledge gained in modelling syngas many years ago was vital to understanding the effects of the low luminosity flame that you get from hydrogen.
With the current opportunities around sustainability and especially decarbonisation, there is a clear focus on modelling throughout the industry. There are lots of possible scenarios to consider and modelling, especially using CFD, makes a very important contribution to this. The pressure to constantly develop the models and improve how we use them is there, so I see a bright future for modelling within the glass industry
GW: What have been the main advancements in CFD during your time in the industry and how important will modelling be to furnaces of the future?
In the early days, CFD was a fast-developing tool which was greatly helped by rapid increases in available computer power. The CFD programs we now use have greatly increased capability in just about all areas, including things like meshing, turbulence models, time-dependent calculations through to the post processing. The output from the models used to be a large file of numbers that were interpreted by hand. We are now able to quickly produce all sorts of plots showing flows, temperatures and bubble tracks as well as the key numbers from a simulation. CFD is now a fairly mature technology. Over the years we have learned how to model a particular situation, how to interpret the results and present them to people who are not modellers. We now understand the limitations of the modelling – knowing what it is good at, and equally importantly, where it is less reliable.
GW: Are there examples of successful CFD projects undertaken and delivered within NSG Group/Pilkington UK that you would like to highlight?
CFD has played an important role in many projects. It was fundamental in understanding the effect of using electric boost when that was first introduced and successfully operated by Pilkington UK in the 1990s. It is again being widely used as we look to use higher levels of boost for decarbonisation. CFD was also important when we were designing furnaces to make low-iron glass for the solar market. The optimum design for such a furnace has many differences when compared to a tank designed to make clear or tinted glasses. Several such furnaces have now been designed, built and successfully operated.
GW: How influential do you expect initiatives such as Glass Futures to be in creating a long-term future for Europe’s flat glass industry?
Glass Futures offers an opportunity to test ideas on an intermediate scale. Without this, you need to go directly from lab scale tests and modelling to a full-size float line. Given the obvious reluctance to take any risk with a float line, having the opportunity to try things out on a small glass production line is important. We are collaborating with Glass Futures, and other partners in the wider glass industry, on a number of projects to help accelerate and deliver solutions to our common challenges faster and more effectively.
GW: How important is it for you and members of your team to serve on relevant ICG committees and what benefits do you derive from these initiatives?
We have served on numerous ICG technical committees over many years and have been involved in TC21 (furnace design and operation) for over 30 years. The committees offer a good way of keeping up to date with technical developments in the industry. An important aspect is meeting people working in similar technologies across the whole of the glass industry.
GW: What activities does the TC21 undertake and how have your contributed over the years?
TC21 is there to improve furnace modelling techniques across the industry. Over the years it has organised ‘round robin’ simulations of different furnaces where each contributor used their own modelling approach. All the results were then discussed and reported. In the early days when CFD was developing quickly, these offered important insights to modelling techniques and the different models available. The challenge in more recent times, certainly from the glass manufacturers, has been finding the time to contribute to the round robins when there are so many other time pressures. However, TC21 still provides interesting discussions on current modelling issues and an opportunity to meet modellers from other parts of the industry.
GW: What are your hopes and expectations for glass melting installations in the next 20 years in terms of campaign life, throughput, energy, emissions and cost?
I would be surprised if campaign lengths continue to increase in the coming years. Given the pressures to rapidly introduce new technologies, I think it is likely that furnaces will be built to have shorter campaigns going forward. If we do go to all-electric melters, it is probably inevitable that we will have to get used shorter campaigns. The high throughputs we have on float lines do offer good thermal efficiency, so I think there is a strong desire to maintain them. Whether this is possible will depend on many things including the fuels we will be using in the future to melt the glass.
I think it is clear that in 20 years’ time the industry will not be operating furnaces which are 100% gas or oil-fired. It is obviously a lot more difficult to predict what the mix of fuels will be but glass making is an energy-intensive industry and will remain so.
The other emissions from glass making – apart from CO2 – have reduced significantly over the last 30 years with Pollution Control Plants to clean the waste gases now widespread. I would expect new technologies to develop which will further reduce the emissions of NOx, SOx and particulates. The cost of glass will be strongly influenced by the cost of fuel, so again, it is not clear how this will change in future. Many of the costs in producing glass come back to the energy required both directly and in processing the raw materials. As an industry we must strive to become as energy-efficient as possible but will not get away from input fuel costs.
When I started work, CFD was in its infancy; Digitisation (Machine Learning, AI, digital twins, etc.) is now at that stage. We are still working out how best to use it; in which areas it can make a useful contribution and where it is less well suited. Over the coming years I am sure these techniques will become as widespread and useful as CFD in helping us to design, build and operate furnaces most efficiently.

Uhuru Movement hosting forum about how public schools are failing black students
The Uhuru Movement is holding a public forum Saturday in St. Petersburg to talk about how Pinellas County's public schools have failed black students.
The forum, called "How Public Schools Have Failed the Black Community," is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at West St. Petersburg Community Library. The address is 6700 8th Ave. N., St. Petersburg. Speakers include: Chimurenga Waller, of the African People's Socialist Party; Penny Hess, chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee; and Liu Kwayera, a student at Gibbs High School who started #BlackGirlsWrapWeds.
They point to school data that show black students are disciplined and arrested disproportionately to their non-black classmates, high failure rates among black students in elementary schools on state standardized exams, and the long-standing achievement gap.
There will be a panel discussion and a question and answer session.

With the 2016 NAIAS taking place as we speak, another automotive event, this time in Europe, is trying to attract visitors: the 2016 Brussels Motor Show.
It might not be as large or well known as the ongoing event in Detroit, but Belgium’s show is a place where McLaren has announced its presence, for customers and fans across the region, and it will display two supercars: the 570S and the 675LT Coupe.
The less powerful example is also the first one to be launched in the Sport Series, and it carries a starting price of €162,750 in Belgium, while in the US it costs at least $184,900. For the money, customers will get a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, found on the entire McLaren lineup in different outputs, rated at 570PS (562hp) in this case, enough for a 0-100km/h (62mph) acceleration made in 3.2sec and a top speed of 328km/h (204mph).
The McLaren 675LT Coupe is more powerful, more expensive and also larger. The Super Series exotic has resurrected the Longtail name and it’s limited to just 500 examples worldwide, which were sold out in no time.
The mid-engine and rear-wheel drive supercar uses the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which delivers 675PS (666hp) and 700Nm (516lb-ft) of torque, in this configuration, and it needs just 2.9sec to reach 100km/h (62mph) from a standstill, with a claimed top speed of 330km/h (205mph).
The 94th edition of the Brussels Motor Show will kick off on January 12, 2016, and will close its gates on the 24th.

“Patients with Long COVID-19 show significantly lower scores than the normal population on processing speed, attention, and working memory. This collaboration is an important step towards understanding Long Neuro COVID-19 and the potential for interventional treatment.”- Dr. Igor Koralnik
NEW YORK (PRWEB) March 07, 2022
Antisense Therapeutics Limited [ASX: ANP | US OTC: ATHJY | FSE: AWY] has launched a study that could deliver comprehensive data about Long COVID-19 as early as mid 2022. It is the world’s first study of up to 7,000 plasma proteins in Long COVID-19 patients.
As previously announced, the Australian publicly listed biotechnology company is collaborating with Dr. Igor Koralnik on the study. A leading researcher at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Neuro COVID-19 clinic in Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Koralnik has published on Long COVID-19 in peer reviewed journals. He has treated over a thousand patients with the disease, which is reported to have affected about 30% of people post COVID-19, or as many as 24 million people in the United States.
The goals of the study are to:
1. Generate new intellectual property around the potential diagnosis and treatment of neurological complications of Long COVID-19.
2. Assess whether ATL1102, an RNA inhibitor being developed by Antisense Therapeutics to treat a rare neuromuscular disease, could also treat Long COVID-19.
“COVID-19 is causing significant long-term cognitive and fatigue complications,” said Dr. Koralnik, who has treated over a thousand patients with the disease and has been published in peer reviewed journals. “Patients with Long COVID-19 show significantly lower scores than the normal population on processing speed, attention, and working memory. This collaboration is an important step towards understanding Long Neuro COVID-19 and the potential for interventional treatment.”
Antisense Therapeutics will leverage its experience with SomaScan®, a proprietary platform for testing proteins on a large scale developed by Somalogic in Boulder, Colorado. Antisense previously used SomaScan® to test ATL1102, which is showing highly promising clinical results in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare and fatal muscle wasting disease where muscle inflammation leads to fibrosis and death of muscle tissue.
ATL1102 has also shown biologic activity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease. There may be a link between Long Neuro Covid and abnormal inflammatory responses; it may even share some of the same virus specific pathophysiological changes as other viral infections including Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Indeed, patients who had COVID-19 while also infected with EBV – which increases the risk of autoimmune diseases like MS and associated adverse neurological manifestations – had an increased risk of memory loss. This study will look for blood disease markers to help determine if ATL1102 could be used to treat Long Neuro COVID-19.
“We want to capitalize on our deep understanding and experience in inflammatory and immune disease,” said Dr. George Tachas, Director of Drug Discovery at Antisense Therapeutics. “Our goal is to identify new ways to better treat a disease that is negatively impacting the lives of millions of people around the world.”
Under the collaboration, Dr. Koralnik will provide existing blood samples that have already been collected from patients with Long COVID-19. Some of the samples have shown blood immune cell changes in patients where there were neurological symptoms. Somalogic’s SomaScan® will be used to generate new data from these samples on up to 7,000 protein changes.
The data will then be analyzed to identify any proteins significantly affected in the blood of convalescent Long COVID-19 patients with no persistent symptoms and Long Neuro COVID-19 patients compared to healthy subjects to identify the proteins that are modulated in Long Neuro COVID-19 disease pathology. This will help determine whether Long Neuro COVID-19 could be treated with ATL1102 or other similar treatments.
The first results of the testing are anticipated in mid-2022. Using existing clinical samples and SomaScan® will save both the time and cost of completing a traditional experimental study and will make Antisense Therapeutics the first to generate the broadest search of plasma proteins on Long Neuro COVID-19.
About Antisense Therapeutics Limited [ASX:ANP | US OTC:ATHJY | FSE:AWY], is an Australian publicly listed biotechnology company, developing and commercializing antisense pharmaceuticals for large unmet markets in rare diseases. The products are in-licensed from Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc., an established leader in antisense drug development.

DETROIT, MI – There are so many people working so very hard to make Detroit a better place than it was or is. But then another frightening issue pops up and it needs to be faced.
Photos recently surfaced on social media that are nothing short of alarming. Kids with guns. Children who live on the east side of the City of Detroit, posting pictures of themselves or others that they know, brandishing weapons. In all three photos they appear to be teenagers.
The photos represent fear and intimidation being thrust on others who want and need to live life without these types of concerns.
So many questions are raised when seeing the pictures. Obviously the first and foremost question is “How did they get their hands on a gun?” Then there are the questions of “Where are their parents?”, “Who will one of these kids harm?”, and “Why do they feel that having a gun is OK?” There is absolutely no excuse that is right or logical about a minor child having unfettered access to a weapon.
When one or more of these teens tries to rob someone and the tables get turned and they end up dead, their parents or guardians will be wringing their hands wondering why they are now having to bury a son or daughter. We will hear the common refrain of ‘Not my child. They were always good. They never gave me or anyone problems.’ This a public health issue and it needs to be faced head-on.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy just charged the parents of a 10-year-old boy because he accidentally shot himself in the hand after he found a gun in the home where he lives at. Both parents were charged with 2nd Degree Child Abuse. And rightfully they should be charged.
Eight children have been killed or seriously injured over the last 17 months in shootings that involved loaded, unsecured weapons in Detroit homes.
Five-year-old Mariah Davis found a loaded gun beneath a pillow while staying at her grandparent’s home on the 19700 block of Oakfield, at about 9:40 p.m., on Wednesday, May 11th, 2016. She shot herself in the neck and died.
The grandparents have each been charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter, three counts each of second-degree child abuse and each with felony firearm possession.
The teens in the photos need to be tracked down along with their parents by authorities so no one gets hurt. Once caught, the parents and the teens need to face some very serious charges. Its time to get them off the streets before they hurt someone or they themselves end up dead.
Marching in the streets hoping for a better outcome is not going to solve the epidemic of guns and violence. Using your voice to put a stop to the problem is what will make a difference.
If you or someone you know of has information as to anyone of the individuals in the photos, please call the Detroit Police Department at (313)-577-2222 or call Crime Stoppers. Make your voice heard. Direct them to this article and tell them what you know about those in the pictures.

I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)
Link HTML BBCode
I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) by songwriter Pete Kuykendall.
Pete Kuykendall (1938 to 2017) was an American 'bluegrass' musician and songwriter. Peter Van Kuykendall was born in Washington DC, USA, on January 15th 1938, and grew up in Arlington, Virginia. He attended Washington–Lee High School, and was an avid record collector from a young age. While his mother was a piano teacher, he himself played clarinet in his junior and high school concert bands, and he would very often listen to 'country' and 'bluegrass' music on the 'WARL', 'WGAY' and 'WWVA' radio stations. He learned to play all the 'bluegrass' instruments, but his primary instrument became the five-string banjo, which he played as a member of 'The Country Gentlemen' from 1958 to 1959. After high school, Kuykendall studied at the Capitol Radio and Electronics Institute (CREI) and was a deejay for 'WKIK' in Leonardtown, Maryland, as well as for 'WFCR' in Fairfax, Virginia. After graduating from CREI, he got married and worked for a short time as a recording division technician in the Library of Congress, transferring recordings from fragile discs and cylinders to magnetic tape. He also worked as a broadcast technician at 'WETA-TV 26' in Washington DC. He then built Wynwood Recording Studio in the basement of his house in Falls Church, Virginia, and recorded Mississippi John Hurt there in 1964, plus many other 'blues', 'bluegrass' and 'country music' performers over the years. Kuykendall also produced several albums for his old group 'The Country Gentlemen', including "Nashville Jail" in 1964. In the late 1950s, he wrote several articles and discographies for "Disc Collector" magazine focussing on the careers of Bill Monroe, 'Reno and Smiley', 'Flatt and Scruggs' and the 'Stanley Brothers'. He also composed and arranged songs, often using his stage name 'Pete Roberts', some of which became standards in 'bluegrass', including "Down Where The Still Waters Flow", "I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)" (used in the soundtrack of the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou", and featured here), "Journey's End", "No Blind Ones There", "Out On The Ocean", "Remembrance Of You" and "Rollin' Stone". As well as owning his studio, he also ran the publishing company 'Wynwood Music'. Kuykendall was a co-founder of "Bluegrass Unlimited" magazine in 1966, and in 1970 became its editor, also writing many articles for it. He and the magazine staff went on to produce the Indian Springs Bluegrass Festival near Hagerstown, Maryland, on seventeen occasions. Pete Kuykendall died in his sleep at a nursing facility in Warrenton, Virginia, on August 24th 2017, aged 79.

Can they be sure my accounts are dormant?
S C writes: I am worried about the proposed arrangements for "dormant accounts" whereby the money will be reclaimed via the government and used for good causes. I have a number of £3,000 cash Isas with different organisations which are untouched, with no additions or withdrawals since the money was first invested. Would these be considered unused and therefore "dormant"?
Banks and building societies are still working, along with the government, on exactly how to pinpoint assets which are genuinely "unclaimed". I don't worry about people like you, who are aware of this issue, but I suspect there will be others who through forgetfulness, old age or general disorganisation will indeed lose out.

United States coach Gregg Berhalter made two changes for Tuesday’s World Cup Group B decider against Iran in Qatar.
After being replaced by Haji Wright for Friday’s 0-0 draw with England, Josh Sargent returns to the line-up to lead the attack, while there’s a first World Cup start for Cameron Carter-Vickers. The Celtic defender starts in place of Walker Zimmerman, who started the USMNT’s first two games of the competition.

The youngest starting XI in #Qatar2022 until now. 🇺🇸
— US Men’s Soccer Team (@USMNT) November 29, 2022
With the USA holding two points in the group and Iran three after Friday’s win over Wales, just a win for Berhalter’s side will see them reach the round of 16 in their first World Cup since 2014.
The build-up to the game was marked by news off the pitch, including US Soccer’s decision to remove the symbol of the Islamic Republic from Iran’s flag in a pre-match tweet on Sunday. US Soccer later restored the image of the Iranian flag in its entirety on social media, but not before drawing the ire of the country’s government and its federation.
Iran’s government reacted by accusing US Soccer of removing God’s name from its national flag, and Iran’s soccer federation said Iran will file a complaint with FIFA over the cleansing of the Islamic Republic’s emblem.
Berhalter insisted at a news conference Monday that none of the coaching staff or players were aware of US Soccer’s treatment of the Iran flag on social media.
Now attention returns to the field, where Berhalter has once again chosen to start with attackers Brenden Aaronson and Gio Reyna on the bench.

Do you like Garlic Pork but quiver at the thought of its aggressive acidity? What about the intimidation of making Garlic Pork – pickling raw meat and praying that you do not make yourself or anyone else sick with botulism? We’ve all had those fears at one time or another. This holiday, it’s all about cooking from the Tastes Like Home archives, and I am sharing with you a recipe I call Garlicky Pork – it has all the flavour of traditional Garlic Pork but almost none of the tartness to make you pucker up or cringe.
Holiday cooking is all about planning ahead, and this recipe is no exception. You can serve it on Christmas morning along with ham, eggs and Pepperpot. Or, make it a part of the feast for Christmas lunch or Christmas dinner. Cutters – savoury bite-size meat snacks – are a must-have and highly prized when entertaining; this Garlicky Pork will fit right in! Got leftovers? Toss the meat into a food processor along with some mayonnaise and hot pepper sauce and turn it into a meat spread to slather on your bread or rolls for a great tasting sandwich. Or, spread it on salt biscuits for a snack.
On occasion, I have used this Garlicky Pork to make fried rice; and I’ve fried the meat crisp and pounded it with fried green plantains to make Mofongo – a Puerto Rican dish of fried and mashed green plantains. I am salivating at the thought of it. So good!
The key to this recipe of is to let the meat marinate at least overnight; a full 24-hour period is ideal so that the seasonings can really penetrate the meat. One of the things that we love so much about Garlic Pork is its deep rich flavour, therefore, do not skimp on the marinating time for this twist on a favourite.
For this recipe, I would recommend using boneless pork shoulder because it has the right ratio of fat to meat and can stand up to the marinating process as well as the two-step cooking. Leg pork would make the meat dry. Another cut that can be used is pork belly/pork flap.
Make this Garlicky Pork this holiday and watch it disappear.
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder cut into 2-inch pieces
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 4 packed tablespoons Guyanese fresh thyme
- 4 tablespoons chopped garlic
- Hot pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- 4 cups tap water
- Vegetable oil
1. Rinse and pat meat dry and set aside.
2. Grind the following ingredients to a paste – onions, thyme, garlic and pepper. Add
to the pork along with the lime/lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix well and transfer to a zip bag or container with an airtight cover and refrigerate to marinate overnight; preferably 24 hours.
3. Remove meat from fridge and bring to room temperature before cooking.
4. Empty the bag with the seasoned meat and its juices into a pot along with 4 cups of water, cover tightly and bring to a boil. When the pot comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook until meat is fork tender but not falling apart. Remove lid, raise heat to high and cook until all the liquid dries out.
5. Transfer the cooked meat to a sheet pan or large platter, placing the meat a couple of inches apart, to cool and air dry (this step is important for the meat to form a crisp crust when pan-seared).
6, Drizzle oil to coat the bottom of a heavy skillet such as a cast iron and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmers, working in batches, fry the meat until the outside is brown and crusty. Turn the meat to brown on both sides.
7. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
8. Serve hot or at room temperature.
● A pressure cooker makes easy work of cooking the meat at direction # 4. You will need only 1 ½ cups of water. When the pot comes up to pressure, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 – 20 minutes only. Then continue on with directions in # 4 – release pressure, remove lid etc.
● To scale up the recipe, simply double the ingredients.

One of the most memorable speeches I wrote recently was about isolation and loneliness in the community. The speech started, not with statistics, but with the true story of Joyce Carol Vincent, who in 2003, sat down in her bedsit to wrap Christmas presents.
For reasons unknown, Carol died that night. Alone, on the floor, in front of the TV. But whilst that is sad, Joyce’s story got worse. Because as she lay on the floor of her bedsit, the TV carried on playing…
For 3 years … until she was finally found by a neighbour.
By the time the above opening paragraph had been delivered, you could have heard a pin drop and I know, some months on, people still remember much of the detail of what followed. That’s the sort of speech I can write for you.
You will find example of some of the speeches I have written on YouTube. Alternatively, I can send you a full transcript (they can be long which is why they’re not posted here), or links to videos and App transcripts that I’ve written or edited.

Job 351 Elihu spake moreouer, and said, 2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God? 3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne? 4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee. 5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou. 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him? 7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand? 8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man. 9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie. 10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght? 11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen. 12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not. 13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it. 14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him. 15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie, 16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
