As a part of this knowledge, the way they ate was also imported to the recent-conquered lands. In order to do it, new crops were required to be grown.
Among the documents of that time delivered to us by some of the first gastronomes of the history (Such as Apicio), we know that there were three crops especially important. These are the wheat (triticum), the olive tree (olea), and the vine (vitis).
Mare Nostrum, as the Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, played a decisive role in the expansion of these plants. Due to its pleasant climate and long sunny days, humans found the perfect spots to grow them. Thanks to this successful expansion the three crops achieved the title of the "Mediterranean's trilogy"
Don`t you think that this fact was long ago and it is not anymore. The trilogy has remained with us for more than two thousand years and still explains the way we eat and drink nowadays. As we do with other disciplines, gastronomy needs to be explored in the past for understanding the present.
So let me invite you to discover the roots of what we eat and drink everyday, how they were made in the past and how are done currently. Through this one-day trip you will discover how the romans arrived to Ampurias and extended the trilogy's culture. By visiting themed history museums, old flour factory, cellars and olive trees crops you will get a unique perspective of the mediterraneans culinary legacy.

Shenzhen will strive to become a world-class new-type smart-city benchmark by increasing digitalization in social governance, Shenzhen Party chief Wang Weizhong said at a high-level seminar on Shenzhen Building a Demonstration Area of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics on Sunday.
The seminar, themed “Digital Government,” brought together more than 100 government officials and experts from home and abroad to brainstorm on upgrading Shenzhen’s smart city and digital government construction.
Wang said Shenzhen will borrow a page from the playbook of world-leading cities to form a sound data management and security system, speed up in-depth applications of big data, artificial intelligence, 5G and blockchain, and open a new space in the digital world by promoting the integration of technologies, data and businesses and realizing synergetic management and services across regions, systems, departments and industries.
Tan Kiat How, director-general of Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority, shared his country’s practices in facing the challenges and opportunities of the digital era.
Shenzhen aims to build a new type of smart city operation and management system that is comprised of one city center, 11 district centers and a number of industrial centers.
A one-stop system implemented by Shenzhen Municipal Government that automatically reviews the information on the applicants of service items and approves their applications is displayed at Sunday’s seminar.
So far, the city center and district centers of Futian, Bao’an, Longgang and Pingshan have been completed, forming the backbone of the smart city’s operation and management, according to a report by Southcn.com yesterday.
Regarding livelihood, the information on personal documents like ID cards and driver’s licenses, as well as social insurance, library and bank cards, will be integrated into one account, through which residents can enjoy different types of services via fingerprint or facial recognition, or their ID or phone number. All of the services will be consolidated on an official app.
In a ranking released by the Information Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences at the 2019 Smart China Annual Conference in Beijing on Nov. 28, Shenzhen ranked first among Chinese cities in smart city development with a comprehensive score of 77.4 points and was awarded a prize for taking the lead in smart city construction.
It was followed by Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Foshan, Xiamen and Chengdu.

We are interested in making unique combinations of biological molecules and polymers to develop materials that combine the exquisite specificity and functionality of biological molecules with the physical toughness and engineering ability of polymers. We have chosen block copolymers as mimics for lipid molecules and membrane proteins as the functional protein elements.
The short term goal of our group is to understand protein polymer interactions and develop devices and membranes inspired by cell membranes. The longer term goal is to emulate these native biological structures with robust polymeric or engineered protein structural elements.
We are also interested in improving current synthetic membranes used in the process, water, energy, and biotech industries. We are utilizing innovative methods to study structure of and transport across these membranes and developing new methods to control fouling and improve efficiency.

Michael Wuertz held a tryout for teams in mid-March, but the consensus at the time was that the right-hander wasn’t fully healthy yet after missing much of last season with a thumb injury.
Two months later he finally found a taker, as Darren Wolfson of 1500-ESPN reports that the Reds have signed Wuertz to a minor-league deal after other teams, including his hometown Twins, passed.
When healthy Wuertz has been one of the league’s best right-handed setup men, posting a 3.45 ERA and 412 strikeouts in 381 innings from 2004-2010, so he’s certainly a worthwhile flier for the Reds considering the lack of risk.

A Shiv Sena leader and five others, who were in arrested in connection with the attack on a retired naval officer in Mumbai, have been given bail. The retired officer was beaten on Friday allegedly by workers of Maharashtra's ruling Shiv Sena for forwarding a cartoon mocking Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
All the six accused, including Kamlesh Kadam, a local Sena leader, were arrested by Mumbai Police overnight after a case was registered. According to the police, the Supreme Court order empowering the police station to release an accused on bail from police station itself in matters where maximum punishment is seven years or less was exercised in granting them bail.
Madan Sharma, 65, was attacked near his home in Mumbai's Kandivalli East. Images posted online showed him with wounds on his face and a bloodshot eye.
Mr Sharma, in his complaint, said he had forwarded the cartoon to his residential society's WhatsApp group. He later received a call from Kamlesh Kadam, who asked his name and address. In the afternoon, he was called outside the building and was attacked by a group of men.
Security footage that is being widely shared shows the former officer being thrashed by men, mostly wearing masks.
He is seen walking to the main gate of his apartment building and after a few moments, running back inside with a group of men chasing him. They drag him by his shirt and are seen punching him.
"Eight to ten persons attacked and beat me up today (Friday) after I received threatening calls for a message that I had forwarded. I have worked for the nation my entire life. A government like this should not exist," Madan Sharma told news agency ANI on Friday.
Dr Sheela Sharma, daughter of the former officer, told NDTV, "We don't know how the photo reached the Shiv Sena. We want strict action. The accused shouldn't have got bail in this way. Police personnel had come to our house and spoke of a probe on us. I oppose this bail."
Several BJP leaders, including former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, posted a photo of an injured Madan Sharma.
"Extremely sad and shocking incident. Retired Naval Officer got beaten up by goons because of just a whatsApp forward. Please stop this GundaRaj Uddhav Thackeray ji. We demand strong action and punishment to these goons (sic)," Mr Fadnavis tweeted.
The BJP's Pravin Darekar, Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, met Mr Sharma in hospital today. "This is another face of Shiv Sena. They (accused) got bail because of Shiv Sena," he told NDTV.

A new report says that women who do not have children may die earlier than those who do. Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark looked at over 21,000 couples between 1994 and 2005. They all tried to have children, without success. The women all went to special clinics for IVF treatment a technique where doctors fertilize the woman's egg in a laboratory. The researchers said that women who could not have children were four times likelier than mothers to die early. Some doctors have said the report might cause childless women to worry about dying early. The truth is there is a very small risk of an early death. Just 316 women died during the 11-year study. Very few of those died earlier than average.
One critic of the report said the study was very misleading. Dr Ingrid Collins, a psychologist, told the BBC: "This is a very specific situation of people who are trying to have children. The study's findings cannot be used to talk about the whole general population." She added: "People having IVF tend to be desperate for a child. If they are unsuccessful, they may be depressed. It may be this depression rather than the childlessness that causes an earlier death." Another psychologist, Dr Helen Nightingale, agreed, saying: "Being childless without a doubt reduces your fight for life.The support of a family, the focus on your children and grandchildren, and the desire to watch how they turn out drives your will to survive."

The month of March has been crazy in terms of weather. Just two weeks ago, we experienced two snow days as a result of nearly 12” of snow. The extra time at home gave us the opportunity to enjoy a hot, homemade breakfast….something that we normally only indulge in on the weekends when we have time to visit one of our favorite local cafes.
For years, my husband has always enjoyed eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, but last week, something changed. Apparently he liked our snow day breakfasts a little too much and wanted to switch to eating eggs each morning.
If your mornings are anything like mine, there isn’t a lot of “extra” time to be spent in the kitchen. So, I got to thinking, what type of eggs could I prepare in advance? A few minutes later, I had my answer…..mini scrambled eggs.
- 1 carton of egg whites (real eggs could also be substituted)
- 1 cup chopped broccoli*
- 1 cup cooked ham*
- 1/2 cup cheese*
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced*
*Feel free to use any variation of toppings. Last week, I used sausage, cheese, and onions.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray your muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Pour in the egg mixtures into the muffin tin.
3. Sprinkle on your choice of toppings.
4. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs are cooked all the way through.
5. Remove from the muffin tin and serve or place the cooked eggs in a container, refrigerate, and reheat to serve.
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make in advance, and serves as a much healthier alternative to a bowl of cereal.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah Sunday said that it's in Lebanon's interests to coordinate with Syria after a recent row between officials and ministers in government over the issue. In televised address during a ceremony in Marjayoun's Khiam dubbed "The Period of Victory," to mark the 11th anniversary of the end of the 2006 War, Nasrallah said coordinating with Syria would benefit the country's businesses – especially the agricultural industry – in cross-border trade. Nasrallah's remarks came as he touched on recent political debate over a visit by several ministers to Syria and discussions over whether the Syrian and Lebanese armies should coordinate in the fight against militants along the border.A controversial visit by Hezbollah Industry Minister Hussein Hajj Hasan and Amal Movement Agriculture Minister Ghazi Zeaiter to Syria this week was met with opposition by some politicians. Israel, Nasrallah added, continues to talk about the increase in Hezbollah's power both in terms of personnel and weapons.

Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a defect in the GLA gene. The defect causes a deficiency in a specific enzyme needed to break down fats; the resulting fat accumulation leads to cell damage, with consequences such as kidney failure, heart attack and stroke.
Currently, screening for Fabry disease relies on measuring levels of alpha-Gal A activity in a specific type of white blood cell, but recent findings suggest an easier method for screening and diagnosis.
Fabry disease: dried blood spot testing
According to data published by Japanese researchers in the Journal of Human Genetics, the analysis of dried blood spots (DBS) may help diagnose Fabry disease and initiate early treatment in high-risk patients with cardiac, renal, or neurological symptoms.
Due to its rarity, Fabry disease is both underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed by clinicians; however, the DBS test could potentially be an effective and simple method to not only identify Fabry disease in high-risk patients but also prevent serious complications.
GlobalData epidemiologists present the diagnosed prevalent cases of Fabry disease in the seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM: the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan), shown alongside Fabry disease cases that experienced a cardiovascular complication such as a mini-stroke (transient ischemic attack) or stroke (as shown in Figure 1).
Taking into consideration all high-risk populations and not only cardiovascular, the proportion of high-risk cases within Fabry disease will likely increase with the implementation of this new screening method, as well as result in an increase in overall diagnosed prevalent cases of Fabry disease.

For special TEM holders which need thinner frames, a new 50um frame thickness (fully compatible with standard copper TEM grids) is now available too. Outstanding features, such the patented debris-free production technology, 3mm round frames and the EasyGrip™ edges are defining parameters of all PELCO® Silicon Nitride support films.
Silicon Nitride membranes are ideally suited for in situ experiments in both life science and materials sciences applications. They are chemically inert, smooth and withstand temperatures up to 1000°C. They can be used to grow cells, perform experiments and transfer directly to the TEM for imaging without disturbing the specimens on the electron transparent membrane. They are equally suited to deposit thin films to study interface interactions or materials behavior at high temperature combined with high resolution imaging in the TEM.

Report Says Nearly All US Baby Foods Have Harmful Metals.
The analysis and tests were done by Healthy Babies Bright Futures.
Of nearly 170 types of food tested, 95 percent contained lead.
One in five even had over 10 times the public health limit.
The report also reveals that cadmium and arsenic were discovered in over 70 percent of the foods.
Even in the trace amounts found in food, these contaminants can alter the developing brain and erode a child's IQ.
The impacts add up with each meal or snack a baby eats.
Among the foods and drinks containing the metals were sweet potatoes and fruit juices.
Rice-based products, such as infant cereal, were the biggest culprit, .
This is due to the food absorbing inorganic arsenic while it is in water.
These popular baby foods are not only high in inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form of arsenic, but also are nearly always contaminated with all four toxic metals.
The report adds that the FDA and baby food companies must take more action.
We need the FDA to use their authority more effectively, and much more quickly, to reduce toxic heavy metals in baby foods, HBBF research director Jane Houlihan, via statement.
Pediatrician Tanya Altmann recommends a variety of other products instead of rice as a first food.
Best first foods for infants are avocado, pureed veggies, peanut-butter oatmeal and salmon.
They all provide important nutrients that babies need, help develop their taste buds to prefer healthy food and may decrease food allergies

Fountain of Youth Park
Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park Marker, St. Augustine, FL.
This is one of two historical markers with the same text located at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, Florida. One is at the entrance and one inside the park.
The text on the marker reads as :
" The Fountain of Youth Park commemorates the 1513 arrival of Juan Ponce de Leon in Florida and the legend of the Fountain of Youth. People have lived on this site for over 3000 years, since the Archaic Period of Florida’s history. In 1565 Spanish Admiral Pedro Menendez de Aviles established the first successful European colony in America at St. Augustine and his first settlement was built here on the grounds of the Fountain of Youth Park. At that time it was part of the large Timucua town of Chief Seloy. Within nine months Timucua resistance forced the Spaniards to move the colony across the bay. In 1572 it was moved back to the mainland to its present downtown location. In 1587 the first Franciscan mission to the American Indians was built here and named Nombre de Dios. The Mission remained here until the middle of the 17th century. Archaeological excavations at the Fountain of Youth Park since 1934 have revealed the shell mounds of the Archaic inhabitants, parts of Seloy’s town, remains of the Spanish colony and the church and cemetery of the Nombre de Dios mission. There is probably no other single property in Florida that contains such an array of important archaeological resources for our state’s early history."

No, we didn’t sneeze. We did get out and see a heck of a lot of stuff in the Flagstaff area though, and a lot of it has names that are difficult to pronounce.
We started with repair work, in the form of undercarriage welding to stabilize the hangers and springs and equalizers and such. They’d taken a beating, likely because of the whole tire falling off thing back in January.
We had the rest of the day to kill while our home was up on jacks, so southward we went, down the “back way” through Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona.
Here in the heart of Flagstaff, we visited the Riordan Mansion, which sat on 54 acres back in the day of its wealthy lumber mill owners, but is now tucked into a corner of the campus of Northern Arizona University.
Yesterday, we drove just northeast of the city and took advantage of our America the Beautiful Pass once more, to visit both the Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments.
And tomorrow, we roll. It gets cold and snowy up here in northern Arizona, and well, we just don’t have to put up with that kind of negativity.
We’ll spend the next month or so in the Tucson area, joining Tim’s aunt & uncle for Turkey Day. It’ll be our first Thanksgiving since 1995 without either one of our sons, and that’s kind of weird and a little depressing, but I am a strong believer in the medicinal properties of ridiculous quantities of pie, so I know I’ll make it through the day.
Then we’ll figure out what we’re doing for Christmas.

- S&P 500 Futures regain upside momentum after the previous day’s consolidation.
- November became the heavy gainer, December moves depend upon virus vaccine, US stimulus.
- Fed Chair Powell, US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin marked need for aid package amid moderate economic momentum.
- Month-start activity numbers, updates concerning virus, stimulus will be important.
S&P 500 Futures pick-up the bids near 3,640, up 0.50% intraday, during the initial hour of Tokyo open on Tuesday. While the US dollar recovery, coupled with the risk-off mood, trimmed the risk barometer’s November gains on Monday, comments from the Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin renewed hope of the US coronavirus (COVID-19) stimulus and favored the equity derivative off-late.
Fed Chair Powell highlights the moderated economic recovery moves and likely challenges during the near future as points to back his testimony in front of the Senate Banking Committee, before going live during Tuesday’s US session. On the other hand, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin urged Congress to use $455 billion from the CARES Act to satisfy the stimulus need.
Following that the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan backed the push towards the aid package while seeing "very difficult" next three to six months.
Elsewhere, Moderna conveyed a 94% effective rate for its covid vaccine while filling for the authorization as an emergency COVID-19 drug to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Furthermore, Brexit woes and chatters surrounding the Western tension with China offer additional catalysts to watch.
Not only S&P 500 Futures but stocks in Asia-Pacific also print gains while eyeing China’s Caixin Manufacturing PMI for November and the RBA. As market consensus suggest both these events to not be the market movers, traders will pay more attention to headlines concerning the US aid package and virus vaccine for fresh impetus. It’s worth mentioning that the US ISM Manufacturing PMI can offer additional directions to the traders.

Reporting from the kritnet conference Göttingen – Part 1
The HarekAct editorial board attended the 16th kritnet conference in Göttingen between 11-13th of May. It was a very good occasion to share and exchange knowledge, meet our friends, activists and colleagues again and discuss future projects and plans. We took part in the workshop titled “Post 2015 Border Regime – Re-Stabilization of the European Border Regime after the ‘Long Summer of Migration’”. We discussed the extension of borders into the cities following the example of Istanbul; the state of the border regime and public debate on migration in Turkey; and the impact and future of the EU-Turkey statement for both Greece and Turkey. Besides the individual inputs, we had a rich collective discussion with various perspectives, information and experiences brought by activists, researchers and professionals from Germany, Turkey, Greece and Kurdish region, and we are looking forward to keep building on the ideas we had as well as the connections we built there.
Although with a little bit of delay, now we would like to share our contributions to the workshop one by one. Enjoy the inputs presented by HarekAct editors in written and updated form in our blog. Keep posted!
With the so-called “summer of migration” three years behind us, and the European borders still sealed tight, it seems a good opportunity to remind ourselves of where these migrants are currently waiting, and what has happened since then. With this intention, I will here try to present an overview of the post-2015 migration context and the related management regime in Istanbul, Turkey.
To set the time frame, it should firstly be highlighted that Turkey’s “open border” policy on the Syrian border was effectively ended by March 2015, and was replaced with the militarization of border security through the erecting of border walls.

Developments on the Greek Islands
In mid-April, after a court decision, the news that the restriction of movement to the mainland for all migrants arriving on the Greek islands from then on had been lifted made the headlines. Hopes were high of these developments among refugees and their supporters. However, the Greek government quickly issued an administrative decision only a couple of days later, reinstating the former policy, known as the “containment policy” that is responsible for the terrible conditions many migrants face.
Meanwhile, in the four-day trial against the #Moria35 in April, 32 of the 35 defendants were collectively convicted of injuring police officers. The process was politically motivated from the very beginning with almost no proof against the defendants. They were collectively convicted to a 26 months suspended prison sentence, though this penalty is temporarily suspended, since their lawyers lodged an appeal against the decision. V. H., who contributes to HarekAct, drawing on her insights on the situation of refugees on Lesvos and focusing on their detention and deportations, wrote a report about the trial, that we published on HarekAct (in German). Continue reading HarekAct Newsletter V – April, May, and June 2018
With the recent announcement of a further three billion Euro pledged for Turkey, the existing deal is not as successful as the EU publicly states: NGOs have been harassed and fined, there is little public accountability on how money is spent, and many infrastructure projects are only just beginning

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on 15 May that Turkey will join the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). This is yet another step towards embracing the political idea of “migration management”. At the same time, the decision means further expanding Turkey’s cooperation with EU member states with the aim to regulate and control migration into the EU – and into Turkey.

There is no getting around it. Creativity requires spaciousness. In a culture that demands we hurry up and do, produce, move faster and higher up the ladder, become breathless, worship speed and efficiency, finding space can be a real challenge. And yet, for me, here is where the spiritual life and the creative life converge—in the profound need and longing to make space to listen to the divine presence who, as the mystics tell us, dwells within us. Space to notice the stirrings of our souls, and to honor the newness budding there. In fact, we don’t just “find space,” instead we have to be intentional about creating the space in our lives.
I am convinced that as a culture we have become paralyzed by our own busyness. We live in a time that is desperately hungry for new ideas and visions, new possibilities in a world gone awry with war and ecological destruction. Yet, everything about our culture encourages us to keep busy, to not slow down enough to really contemplate these things and listen to the ways we are being called to live in response. The news gives us 30-second sound bytes that render us feeling helpless rather than helping to empower us to action.
Recently I have made two commitments that opened up more creative space in my life. First was a re-thinking of the physical space I live in. My husband and I live in a condo in Capitol Hill (Seattle). We love where we live—walking distance from my husband’s job, the video store that welcomes our dog Duke with biscuits (in fact, we call it the “cookie store”), little restaurants. We even have a second bedroom that serves well as an office and spiritual direction space. The first commitment involved re-thinking our home. We replaced our carpets with laminate flooring, especially welcome since we own a dog in Seattle. In the process of moving our stuff to accomplish this, we were intentional about asking how each item makes space for nurturing regular creative expression in our lives. I sold our big TV cabinet and replaced it with a lovely dresser I had in storage with many drawers to hold art supplies, especially the mosaic tiles I used to love to play with and now have easy access to again. We sold and gave away several other things that didn’t serve us anymore.
The other commitment has been to carve out time for creative retreat. In January, I rented a house on Salt Spring Island in the Southern Gulf Islands (off the coast of Vancouver and Victoria). I brought my dog and for a week I simply followed my own process and intuition. I wrote when I wanted to, made collages when the impulse led me, went on hikes when I needed to, took naps when the desire struck. It was simply amazing to spend a whole week living solely by my own creative rhythms and practicing the discipline of listening carefully to what was emerging within me next and then honoring that desire. Tomorrow I leave again for another few days of retreat, because I find retreating to solitude and silence helps slow my soul down when I return, and I come home renewed and inspired. I have already blocked off time in my calendar for the upcoming year for more retreat time.
So this week, I invite you to consider how you might make just a little more space in your life. Perhaps it will be trying a new recipe, or playing with paint, or giving away three things that drain your energy or clutter your space, or just saying “no” to one more commitment and using that time to just be and breathe. Or maybe you can take it just a little further and schedule a day or weekend away at a retreat center. Or maybe you cancel meetings for a day, turn off the phone and computer (what my friend Maria calls “going dark”), stay at home and allow yourself to listen to what your soul is craving.
Do it to nurture your own creativity. But also do it because we so deeply need people in the world who are intentional about making space for their creativity. People who are willing to listen to the Holy One who speaks deep within us, right at this very moment, and always invites us to something new.
What new things might God be doing within you right now? How will you create space to listen?
