History of London and its Environs, from the earliest period of authentic record, to the defeat of the Britons by Suetonius.
History of London and its Environs, from the earliest period of authentic record, to the defeat of the Britons by Suetonius.
The remote history of this magnificent city, which in wealth or magnitude has never been surpassed, is involved in much obscurity. Some of the early chroniclers even go so far as to claim the Trojans as its founders. Geoffrey of Monmouth, a monkish historian, says, that Brute, a descendant of Aeneas, the son of Venus, came to this country, and built this town, in the year of the world (or about years before Christ), and named it , or New Troy. He states that, about a century before the Roman invasion, this town was
He states, likewise, that British Kings were buried in London; and that Malmutius Dunwallo, (whose son Belinus is said to have founded the gate and haven at Belingsgate,)
For all this we have only the word of Geoffrey; which, however, as it was of a nature to obtain implicit credence at the time when he flourished, (during the reign of Henry I.) was firmly believed, even to a later period. In a memorial presented by the Lord Mayor to Henry VI. in the
| year of his reign, this account is brought forward to prove the |
&c. This memorial is among the records kept in the Tower.
But dismissing this fable, it will appear that the Britons had formed towns, and that to them must be ascribed the foundation of London. Caesar, in his Commentaries, denominates it the chief city of the Trinobantes, which is easily converted to , describing the exact situation of the British ; the vale of London being certainly of the most extensive in the British dominions, taking it from Brentwood to Windsor way, and from Hampstead to the Surrey hills another. Others have translated the expression made use of by Caesar, , as the of the ; while some have argued, that these words are used rather in the sense of
of the ; and of this opinion are Bishop Stillingfleet, and a later historian, Maitland. Certainly their construction of this obscure point seems to be borne out by the sense in which Caesar afterwards applies the word ; but Ammianus Marcellinus, a Roman author, who lived in the reign of Valens, about of the Christian era, subsequently calls it ; and again he mentions it as
the latter being the name which the Romans, with the national spirit of all conquerors, endeavoured to attach to it after their settlement.
That industrious antiquary, Sir R. C. Hoare, Bart. has thrown much light on the state of ancient British towns. He says,
Speaking of some remains excavated near Warminster, he says:
Sometimes a British village is a square earth-work. village is an oblong square earth-work, humouring the hill. There are pits on side, so regular in their form and plan, that Sir Richard thinks they were designed for huts of habitation,
Another strong index of a British settlement, he states,
Where the situation was covered by woods or surrounded by marshes, it was generally chosen. It was in such situations that the prince or chieftain of a tribe of settlers erected his habitation. His followers erected theirs around, as well as stalls for the cattle; a ditch and mound of earth secured the whole. A station of this description, or a fortress of strength, surrounded by habitations, as most strong fortresses then were, was called a This word, modified by the various dialects into , , or , is in use to designate a place of strength in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland to this day. When the Romans conquered the Gaulish towns, and planted colonies in them, they either gave new names to them, or latinised the old ones.
Ptolemy, whose work, however valuable, is not free from geographical errors, has placed on the south side of the Thames. This opinion has been countenanced by the learned Dr. Gale. He mentions that many coins, tesselated works, sepulchral
| remains, &c. have been discovered in Fields and the Borough; his words are, |
The arguments of Dr. Gale have been opposed with some success by Mr. Maitland, Dr. Woodward, and several other eminent antiquaries. The former, who had been at great pains in investigating the ground on the south side of the Thames, observes, that the Romans would never have made choice of so damp a place for a station as Fields must have been, though afterwards, by embanking and draining, they certainly frequented the southern side of the river, as is evident from the numerous discoveries of remains of this people, especially within the last few years.
The site of London is such as the British settlers would select, according to their method of forming towns. The adventurers who explored the Thames, with a view of seeking a proper place of settlement, must have perceived, for a considerable distance on their entrance, nothing but dreary marshes; for the sea then rolled uncontrolled over large tracts of the Kent and Essex coasts, which are now preserved from inundation by extensive embankments. The higher grounds by Woolwich and Greenwich could offer few temptations to arrest the progress of the adventurers; but advancing beyond the , the site of the metropolis would be presented to their view, rising from the north bank in an amphitheatric form, with gentle undulations of hill and dale, until the horizon is bounded by a range of eminences, of which Hampstead, Highgate, and Muswell Hill are the principal. They would find it secured to the west by the , then a deep and rapid stream; to the east by a natural fosse, afterwards called Wall-brook, or beyond that, by the marsh; and protected towards the north by a thick forest, which, even so late as the time of Fitz Stephen, is stated to have been well stocked with beasts of the chace. At the base rolled a wide, deep, and as the old records term it,
Though some portion of the land was marshy, which circumstance, as a means of defence, would be considered by a rude people rather as an advantage than otherwise, yet on the whole it was fertile, and well adapted either for pasture or cultivation. The possession of this site gave the command of of the most extensive vales in the country; stretching in an unvaried level of fertile alluvial soil for miles, as far as Windsor; and of an extent of rich meadow land to the east, as far as the Lea River. The situation, at a convenient distance from the sea,
| was well adapted for any traffic that might be carried on with the Gaulish merchants. In short, the advantages of the site as a place of settlement, whether for defence or traffic, appear so considerable as to lead to the conclusion, that London was, at least, of the earliest towns formed in the island by the Britons.
Having established the fact incontrovertibly, that the Britons did form what may fairly be called towns, the British name of London is decisive as to the nature of the capital in its origin, and as to the date of its foundation being anterior to the conquest of Britain by the Romans. Various etymologies are given of the name by antiquaries. Tacitus calls it , and ; Bede, ; King Alfred, in his translation of the passage in Bede, ; other appellations given to it by the Saxons, were and ; Camden supposes it may be from or , the Gaulish term for a grove, and , a city, or |
W. Owen, Esq. F.S.A. the learned editor of the Welch Archaeology, considers it to be derived from , a lake, and , a town; being the term for a broad expanse of water. And when all the lands on the Surrey side of the river, as far as the Camberwell Hills, were overflown by the Thames, as they must have been before they were protected by embankments, the term of the
would certainly have been applicable. Some have supposed it might be derived from the British , a ship, and , a town, or
but this could only have been after the place became remarkable for the resort of shipping. The transition from to or is easy; and this is, perhaps, the most probable etymology of the part of the name, as serving to designate the particular situations. The name given it by Ammianus Marcellinus of , leads us to suppose that the Trinobantes were its founders. Antiquaries have been exceedingly anxious to ascertain the precise spot at which Caesar crossed the Thames. Camden, upon the authority of a tradition, which is, perhaps, as old as the reign of Alfred the Great, for it is mentioned by the venerable Bede, believes that it was at a place called the
at Shepperton, about a furlong beyond Walton Bridge, or nearly miles from London. Some have considered that the position of these stakes, which,
To this it may be answered, that there was probably more than row, and that the whole breadth of the ford was occupied by them. Geoffrey of Monmouth says, that the stakes were intended to prevent the passage of Caesar's ships. Some have conjectured that they were the remains of an ancient fishing wear. But Mr. Brewer admits, that
Bagford, an antiquary of great zeal and industry, in a letter to Hearne, published in , determines that Caesar must have crossed the Thames from in , to Dowgate, because
and also of
&c. After having assumed that these remains could not have been left by any of the Roman armies, which subsequently traversed, or were stationed in the country, he says,
when he goes on to narrate the passage, with as much minuteness as if he had been an eye-witness. He makes the Romans land at Dowgate, and fixes Caesar's camp in . Maitland denies that the ford was at Dowgate, at Coway Stakes, or at any of the other places which have been mentioned. He says, his attention having been drawn to the subject by the mention of the passage of the Britons over the Thames on a subsequent occasion, when pursued by the Roman army, he endeavoured, by an actual survey, to find the spot. He sounded the river at several neap tides; when, on the , he discovered a ford, at about feet west of the south-west angle of the College garden,
As this was the
in the river, he concludes, that the conqueror of the world must have marched by the place where our veterans now repose, after their toilsome services. But unfortunately for the disputants on this subject, there have been at least well known fords across the Thames. The was at , opposite to in , so called from a corn-mill which anciently stood there, and from its leading to a ford across the river. The other was against York-house, the palace of
| the Archbishop of York, which stood on the site of the streets adjoining to what still bears the name of York-stairs. Bagford, in the letter above quoted, says, this |
Added to which, it is well known that the level of the river is continually changing, and Mr. Brewer states--
No argument can, therefore, be founded on its present state, especially when the effects of embankments are considered; nor is implicit reliance to be placed upon the expressions of Caesar, as to the localities with which beyond his line of march, it is probable he was but imperfectly acquainted. All the territory to the east of the was most probably occupied by the Trinobantes, with whom Caesar was in treaty, and it must have been, therefore, above that spot where the hostile forces of Cassibellanus were drawn up in array to dispute the passage. It could not have been lower down than Mill-ford, and may have been as far up as Coway-stakes. Maitland objects to the distance, but though Caesar states that the confines of Cassibellanus' territory were miles from the sea, it does not follow that he effected his passage at the nearest boundary. The tradition has some evidence for its support. On St. George's-hill, at no great distance from the Thames on the Surrey side, is the remains of a camp, apparently Roman, which is known by the name of
and comprehends in its area more than acres. There are the remains of a larger encampment at Oatlands, with which it probably communicated.In the fields, on the opposite bank, to the north-east of the village of Shepperton, are some artificial inequalities of surface, which Dr. Stukely considered to be the remains of a Roman encampment; but they are now too indistinct to allow any satisfactory opinion to be formed respecting them. About quarters of a mile to the west of the village, Mr. Brewer states spear-heads and parts of sword-blades have been found in a state of extreme decay. He adds,
At Greenfield Common, there were, until the year , Roman camps, and there were the remains of an encampment on Hounslow-heath until before its enclosure. There are other indications of Roman remains in the line from Hill on the side
|of the river, to a considerable distance towards St. Albans, near which place, it is supposed, the strong hold of Cassibellanus was situated. There were, until recently, vestiges of a broad raised road, in a meadow, at no great distance from the banks of the river, and leading in a direction towards the stakes. So general was the opinion formerly that this was the spot at which the Roman army crossed, that, it is stated, a cutler made a small fortune by selling knives, the handles of which, he said, were manufactured from the Coway stakes.There is every reason to suppose that the Romans possessed themselves of London in the reign of Claudius, under whom Aulus Plautius took Camulodunum, the present Colchester, in Essex, and planted a colony, consisting of veterans of the legion, about years after the invasion of our island by Caesar. Londinium was made a Praefectura; the inhabitants, a mixture of Romans and Britons, being suffered to enjoy no more than the name of citizens of Rome, being governed by prefects sent annually from thence, without having either their own laws or magistrates.|
There is no mention of this important place, till the reign of Nero; when Tacitus speaks of it as famous for its great concourse of merchants, and its vast commerce. The exports from hence were cattle, hides, and corn; dogs made a small article, and slaves a considerable object. The imports were, at , salt, earthenware, and works in brass, polished bits of bones, horse collars, toys of amber, and glasses and other articles of the same material.
The mention of London was occasioned by a calamity, in the year , in the reign of Nero, which nearly occasioned the extinction of the Roman power in Britain. In the narration of this event, given by the Roman historians, the name of this great city occurs for the time in history. The whole possesses so much interest, that we shall give a translation of the entire passages:
This was the most terrible overthrow the Britons ever received; but though defeated, they were not entirely dispersed. Suetonius obtained a reinforcement, and the country round, whereever the people had declared open hostility, or even suspected of treachery, was laid waste, with fire and sword. Famine was the greatest calamity which the unfortunate Britons had to encounter; for, when employed in preparations for the revolt, they had neglected the cultivation of their lands, depending altogether on the success of their arms, and the booty which they expected to seize from the Romans. Suetonius, however, was recalled soon after, and as his successor did not press hostilities, a state of tranquillity ensued.
In contemplating a scene like that of this dreadful conflict, as described by Tacitus, we are naturally led to enquire on what spot it took place. The prevailing opinion has long been, that the battle was fought at , in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis. Mr. Nelson, the historian of , who appears to have given the most attention to the subject, states, that is supposed to have been so called, from its contiguity to the spot where the celebrated battle was fought between the Romans and the Britons, A. D. . The operations of the Roman General were, it is probable, confined to the north and north-western vicinity of London. It will be readily admitted, that no situation in the neighbourhood of the capital could afford a more advantageous position, than the high ground in the
|vicinity of , both in regard to security, and as a post of observation for an army apprehensive of an immediate attack from an immense superiority of force.|
The opinion that the scene of this dreadful conflict was not far distant from this spot, is further strengthened by some considerable remains of an encampment, which may yet be seen in the neighbourhood, and which exhibit sufficient evidence that the situation was an important military post, upon some occasion in the early part of our history.The name of the district, which in the Doomsday Book is spelt appears to have reference to a , or fortified enclosure, as most of the names with similar terminations have. In a field, called the Reed Moat Field, a little to the northward of the workhouse, are the remains of a camp, evidently Roman, and which is generally supposed to have been the position occupied by Suetonius, previous to his engagement with the Britons. These remains consist of a praetorium, which, in situation, form, and size, exactly corresponds with the description of the general's tent as given by Polybius in his account of the Roman method of castrametation. The site of the praetorium is a square of about feet; the area within the entrenchment being a quadrangle of about yards. The surrounding fosse varies in breadth from to feet, which irregularity has been occasioned by encroachments on the embankments. The fosse, which is about or feet deep, is for the most part filled with water, and overgrown with sedge.
In the encampment of a Roman army, the general's tent always occupied the most convenient place for prospect or command, so this praetorium is seated on an elevated spot, embracing an extensive view over the adjacent country on all sides. To make it more convenient in this respect, that wall from whence the view was least commanding has been raised by art, and presents a bolder embankment; and there is a visible ridge across the middle of the area where this elevated part begins. There is also a raised breast-work or rampart, extending for a considerable length on the western side of the praetorium, and another on the south. The positions occupied by this camp (supposing it to have been that of Paulinus), will be found strikingly advantageous, when it is considered that the enemy was expected to make the attack from the circle nearest the metropolis.
It is probable that this was the place of security to which Paulinus retired, to unite his scattered forces, and upon which occasion the camp was formed; for it was customary with the Romans to entrench themselves, though they remained but a single night in the place. The description Tacitus gives of the scene of his operations is very narrow and confined. But the great scene of carnage appears to have been a couple of eminences.
It is not unlikely that the Roman general abandoned the above encampment on finding the disparity of his forces compared with that of the Britons, with which he had to contend, and fixed upon the narrow spot of ground, as best calculated for his little army to act with advantage. The situation of the valley that lies between the acclivities of , and the high ground about , and where the river Fleet has its course, though now, for the most part, obscured by buildings, will not, on inspection, be found any thing at variance with the above description of Tacitus; and an opinion may be fairly hazarded, that the scene of this action was confined to this place, in the immediate vicinity of . noteBagford, in his letter to Hearne, speaking of a friend, Mr. John Conyers, an apothecary, who formerly lived in , says,
The vestiges of the encampment alluded to, have recently been much defaced by digging carried on to make bricks. In , a survey was made of the praetorium and fosse, an engraving of which is annexed.
It has been drained, and we have learned, that in the course of , a labourer, who was occupied in digging in it, turned up a number of arrow heads, which he sold. Shortly afterwards, a labourer, whilst digging a few yards to the south of the praetorium, for materials to mend a road, uncovered a pavement of red tiles. It was little more than a foot beneath the surface of the soil, and was about feet square. The tiles were about fingers thick, and about inches square. They were mostly figured, but as neither taste nor curiosity prompted the proprietor to preserve any of the fragments, they were all consigned, as rubbish, to the bottom of a deep road. This pavement was, in all probability, Roman. From this circumstance, and from fragments of stone ware which it is reported have been found here, little doubt need be entertained, on the whole, that this was a Roman station.
The passages we have quoted from Tacitus, claim our attention, not alone from their general interest, but from their conveying, with the recorded notice of the town which was to become the future metropolis, an outline of the advances made towards civilization by the Roman settlers in its neighbourhood, and from the additional evidence they give as to its probable origin and early condition.

 Camden believes they were so called from the British Tre-nant, a town in a valley. The inhabitants of Galway, in Scotland, which is full of vallies, were formerly called in British Noantes; and in a valley on the Rhine, called Le Vault, anciently lived a nation called the Nantuates, who had their name from their situation.

'I really want to find it before I die': why are we so fascinated by lost books?
In June 1940, with Nazi troops on the verge of invading Paris, German-Jewish exile Walter Benjamin was preparing to leave the city. One of the leading European intellectuals of the 20th century, Benjamin was unable to acquire the necessary documents that would have made it possible for him to escape through the port city of Marseille. Instead, he joined other refugees trekking through the mountains into Spain, making their way to Lisbon where they’d fly out. Slowing Benjamin down was a heavy black suitcase, which contained a manuscript. Speaking to another traveller, Benjamin described the contents as more valuable than his own life.

The supermarket giant’s penalty is substantially less than the initial £10m fine imposed, after it won a partial victory against the Office of Fair Trading.
The Competition Appeal Tribunal decided in December to overturn more than half of the findings by the OFT that Tesco colluded with other retailers and suppliers to fix cheese prices.
It said at the end of last year that there was “insufficient evidence” that Tesco was involved in a concerted effort to rig cheese prices in 2003.
But the appeal tribunal upheld the OFT’s conclusion that Tesco was guilty of communicating its pricing to rival retailers through a supplier three times in 2002.
The latest hearing brings to a close a long-running OFT probe that has seen supermarkets and dairy processors pay £39m collectively in fines.
Asda and Sainsbury’s were fined in 2007 but Tesco said at the time it would continue to defend itself “vigorously”.
The OFT estimated that the collusion led to shoppers paying 2p more for a litre of milk and 2p more for 100g of cheese, although Tesco has always denied collusion.
It has been a contentious investigation for the consumer watchdog, which was forced to make a £100,000 libel payout to supermarket Morrisons after wrongly accusing the Bradford-based chain of an infringement in relation to milk, cheese and butter in 2002 and 2003.
A Tesco spokesman said the supermarket was “pleased” it has settled with the OFT.
“Tesco will pay a reduced penalty of £6.5m in respect of three infringements of competition law that took place in 2002. The other findings of the OFT against Tesco have been dismissed,” he said.

Is there a way to add a credit card fee on the POS system? I don't want it on every sale, just on the credit card sales and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Thank you for reaching out!
Currently, there isn't a way to charge your customers a specific credit card fee on the point of sale system. Shopify charges the merchant a small fee to allow you to accept major credit cards online and through your POS system. However, there are a few ways around this! You could create a "credit fee" product and only have it available to your POS system; then, you can add this product to the order whenever you want to charge that fee. Another option could be to add custom sales under cart modifiers; this allows you to enter in a custom amount to charge your customers. This is a good option if you want to charge different percentages of the total sale as a fee and not a fixed amount.
I will happily pass along your feature request to our developers as I know this would be a helpful feature to add to our POS system.
Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday, August 11 - Sunday, August 14, 2005
by Lynne Fuller
I attended this convention as a volunteer on Saturday and Sunday. Stationed in the dealer’s room Saturday, I didn’t get to see many events but I did get to see Vaughn Armstrong (multiple Star Trek roles), Casey Biggs (Damar) and Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun, Shran, Tiron, etc.) together on stage entertaining the audience in song (mostly blues). Armstrong, Biggs, and Combs sang several Star Trek parody songs, including “Enterprise Blues” and a piece called “Redshirt Boogie Blues” about the angst of expendable crew members on the Star Trek series. Biggs and Combs both sang and played guitar while Armstrong sang the lead and played ukelele, but stayed only 10 minutes (being due for another panel). Following Armstrong’s departure, Jeffrey Combs did a nice version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” while playing the piano. Combs and Biggs also performed “Norwegian Wood” with the original wording. According to the actors, the song was initially titled “I Knew She Would”, but had to be renamed because of censors in the ‘60s. Later in the afternoon I saw Avery Brooks, who was very eloquent and engaging. Earlier, while standing at a door admitting patrons to the Dealer’s Room, I met with Stephanie, another ORACLE member, and handed her an ORACLE nametag that we had originally made up for the Toronto Trek 19 convention.
That evening there was a concert by The Las Vegas Philharmonic of Star Trek music from the TV shows and the various movies. Nana Visitor was also set to sing during the interlude, but for some reason was unable to be there and so James Darren sang about five numbers instead. He repeatedly mentioned how odd he found it to be singing to canned music even though there was a full orchestra on stage with him. Various comments such as having a “holographic” orchestra on stage and “Why aren’t you playing?” were reiterated.
The Las Vegas Philharmonic played beautifully. It was nice to hear each theme in its entirety instead of cut up in small pieces during episode intros or with action in the forefront as usually heard.
The next morning there was a charity breakfast at which Armin Shimerman, Nana Visitor, Robert Beltran, and René Auberjonois appeared, mingling with the attendees. I was scheduled to be working in the auditorium at 9:30 a.m. and the meal was to start at 8:45 a.m., so I stood where I thought I might get a glimpse of Auberjonois as he arrived. I watched as Shimerman, Beltran, and Visitor were led into the room; no sign of Auberjonois. I was about to give up when I saw him quickly walking towards the banquet room, attended by a Creation staff member. I quickly jumped out and extended my hand to him, saying, “Hello, sir.” He recognized me from the times I’ve volunteered to help with his charity fundraising at previous conventions and warmly returned my greeting. Then he said, “Sorry, I can’t talk, I need to get into the breakfast.” I replied, “I know, sir,” and off he went.
My next René Auberjonois sighting occurred during the scheduled on-stage Q&A session with Armin Shimerman, René, and Nana Visitor all on stage at the same time. A lot of the same questions were asked that are always asked, including “What cast member do you prefer to work with?” (each other, because they were always prepared) and “Will there be a DS9 movie?” (Don’t hold your breath) and, to Auberjonois, “What is it like to work with William Shatner?”
“He’s just the sweetest guy in the world to work with, and we’re both having a great time,” Auberjonois said in answer.
One of the most entertaining questions was why Nana Visitor was wearing two different-colored shoes. The answer was that she loves shoes and that she couldn’t decide which pair to wear, which was followed by women questioners suggesting various shoe sales occurring currently.
Another interesting response came when they were asked what their feelings were about the end of Star Trek. Auberjonois eloquently answered, “Quite apart from the movie question, I think there’s a parable to the whole Star Trek thing that’s going on right now and people’s disappointment in [Enterprise’s] premature demise. When you have a field, and you plant the same thing in the field year after year after year, there’s a certain point where the crop just begins to weaken. You have to let a field go fallow for a while. And I think that’s what we’re seeing right now…. It’s not the end of Star Trek, but I think there will be a period now in which it lies fallow. And then hopefully, because of people like you who keep the dream alive, it will come back. And hopefully it will be strong and vital.”
I found the most interesting question came from a young lady about high school age who said that her brother was going to play Buddy Fidler, the role that René Auberjonois played in City of Angels, and asked Auberjonois’s advice to her brother. Auberjonois responded, “Study your lines, Study your lines, Study your lines.” He related a personnel experience of one performance when the show was in previews, and the director had changed the line order in the quick-tempo song that he sang (“The Buddy System”). During one performance, he saw the musical conductor shaking his head and mouthing the word, “No.” Auberjonois stopped the show, got the right words from the conductor, and continued on with his performance. After the show his fellow cast members applauded and congratulated him on the way he handled the situation. Upon return to his hotel room, though, he shook to the point of collapse. The story was well demonstrated by Auberjonois by his clever timing and flexible body and voice.
I walked down to the autograph line just before it began, when Shimerman and Auberjonois were taking their positions for the line, which lasted way over two hours. I saw Auberjonois showing one of his Odo's Bucket drawings, but was unable to catch any further glimpse of him for the rest of the day.
Overall, I think it was a successful Creation Con for Mr. René Auberjonois.

I took the usual visit to the big farmer's market in Bath this Saturday, which of course resulted in lots of delicious things to eat. As I'm a total glutton I thought the best approach would be to put most of it in to a dish together...The result: Cauliflowerbroccolicheesebacon bake, it's a winner.
Purple sprouting broccoli (couple of handfuls)
Excellent smoked streaky bacon (I only needed 3 rashers of the super strong stuff I got!)
Stale bread crust
2/3 pint milk
Blue cheese (I used Bath Blue, very similar to Stilton)
Cream cheese (I used sheep cheese)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon plain flour
Chop up the broccoli and cauli into florets, boil until just soft. Meanwhile, fry off the red onion and bacon until crispy. Chop up the bread into small chunks. Crisp up the bread a little in the bacon pan.
Make a cheese sauce, bechamel style. Melt the butter in a smallish pan, when bubbling add the flour, whisk in.

Jennifer Lawrence is officially off the market!
The award-winning actress just got engaged to New York art dealer, Cooke Maroney.
After only dating for a few months, J Law will finally be heading down the aisle.
Lawrence’s rep confirmed the news
On February 5, Jennifer Lawrence’s rep confirmed to major news outlets that the starlet was, in fact, engaged to her
Many began to speculate that the actress was engaged after she was spotted wearing a massive diamond ring a few days back.
Lawrence and Cooke have kept the relationship under wraps and have yet to release any comments on their recent engagement.
How did they meet?
It is not clear when exactly Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney officially started dating, but the two were first romantically linked back in June 2018.
It has been revealed that they were introduced to each other by Lawrence’s close friend, Laura Simpson.
“They met through Jen’s friend Laura,” a source revealed. “The relationship has been going on a few weeks. But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together.”
Back in June, a source confirmed that during one of their first dates, Lawrence and Maroney spent three hours talking while they dined at the Italian restaurant and wine bar Felice 64.
After getting to know each other, Lawrence and Maroney began dating and were not afraid to hide they relationship while out in public.
The actress and art dealer have been spotted on multiple occasions since then. They would go on dinner dates in New York City, look cozy while strolling through Central Park, and the couple even went on a European getaway back in August.
They have not confirmed their relationship
Throughout their relationship, Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney have not confirmed whether or not they were in a serious relationship.
Many of us could easily tell they definitely dating after the two were spotted holding hands, going on romantic dates, and kissing while walking the streets of NYC early on.
With all of the speculation surrounding their relationship, we can understand the couple is choosing not to comment on anything just yet.
We can guess that Lawrence and Maroney want to enjoy being engaged a little while longer without having to answer to any media outlets.
Jennifer Lawrence likes keeping this relationship private
Unlike her past relationships, Jennifer Lawrence decided to keep her and Maroney’s relationship away from the public eye.
Prior to her relationship with Cooke Maroney, Lawrence had
Lawrence and Aronofsky met on the set of Mother and dated for a year called it quits. The actress made sure to give herself time before jumping back into another relationship.
Following her split from Aronofsky, Lawrence revealed during an interview with Howard Stern that she would like to find someone and give love another try.
“I am not in a relationship. I’m making it clear that I have not had sex in a very long time,” she shared. “I would like to have a relationship, you know—it’s hard out there!”
Before Aronofsky, Jennifer Lawrence openly displayed her four-year relationship with actor Nicholas Holt. The two were constantly spotted walking red carpets together and had no problem working together.
In 2014, Lawrence and Holt split but have remained good friends over the years.
Nicholas Holt even considers Jennifer Lawrence “family” after working alongside her on the X-Men series for the past eight year.
“It’s pretty similar to Skins, we’re a big family, we’ve been doing those movies since we were 20 years old,” he says, referring to the popular British television series he also starred in. “As much as the Skins crowd grew up together, the X-Men crowd really grew up together. It’s been a good eight, nine years making those movies.”

(Chemist Isagani Cajucom, left, leads his workers in making silage for the carabaos out of his corn crop in his farm in Lupao, Nueva Ecija. Photo by Anselmo Roque)
LUPAO, Nueva Ecija – He has a high-paying job then in a private company at the Clark Freeport in Pampanga but he opted to leave it in exchange for carabao feed production which is a rare business venture.
It happened that he chanced upon a seminar under the project “Commercialization of Grass/Forage Corn Silage for Dairy Buffaloes through Technomart.” The project was launched here by the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) in cooperation with the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources and Development (PCAAARD.
Isagani Cajucom, in his mid-40s, saw a big opportunity in the production of quality silage as more and more farmers and individuals engaging in commercial raising of dairy carabaos have a need for it.
“I knew then that the carabao raisers will surely need ready-to-acquire animal feed,” Cajucom said. “The venture on it will certainly flourish,” he added confidently.
He didn’t hesitate in leaving his job. He concentrated in growing napier grass in his one-hectare land. He became an elected leader of a 14-man group in his place in Bbarangay Parista here that started in 2010 their respective ventures in silage production.
A few years after, he attested he was correct in the decision that he made for a livelihood that is much better in terms of returns compared to his former job.
In silage-making, the material produced is through fermentation, under anaerobic conditions, of the chopped crop residues or forages with high moisture contents.
It is fermented and stored in a process called ensilage, ensiling or silaging. In Tagalog it is called burong pakain sa kalabaw.
Among the materials that can be used for ensiling are grass crops, including maize, sorghum or other cereals, using the entire green plant including the grains.
Silage is made through any of the following methods: placing the cut green vegetation in a silo or pit; piling the vegetation in a large heap and compressing it down so as to purge as much oxygen as possible, then covering it with a plastic sheet; or by wrapping large round bales tightly in plastic film.
For grass, the moisture content ideal for ensiling is about 55 percent to 60 percent depending on the means of storage, the degree of compression, and the amount of water that will be lost in storage, but not exceeding 75 percent.
After harvesting, the grass or the crop is shredded to pieces to about 0.5 inches to 1.3 centimeter long. The material is spread in uniform layers over the floor of the silo, and closely packed. In the silo the pressure of the material, when chaff ed, excludes air from all but the top layer. Excessive heat, however, is prevented by applying extra pressure.
Among the ideal matters rich in energy that can be turned into animal feed thru silage production are napier grass, para grass, Guinea grass, corn, sorghum, rice straw or hay, and sugar cane bagasse, The other plants which are rich in protein include legumes, ipil-ipil leaves, malunggay, mani-manihan, Centosema, Rensoni, Stylo and others.
The ensilage matter can be harvested after three weeks.
Maize silage is made out of whole ensiled maize plants. It is one of the most valuable forages for ruminant livestock and it is used wherever maize can grow, from temperate regions to the tropics.
The popularity of maize silage is due to several factors. It is a consistent source of palatable and high-energy forage for all classes of ruminants. It is one of the most high-yielding forage crops, requires less labor (since it is harvested in a single operation) and is generally less costly to produce it than other forage crops size.
Nutrient and energy content of the grass silage is: dry matter: 30 – 45 percent; crude protein: less than 17 percent; crude fiber: 22 – 25 percent; and net energy for lactation: 6.0 – 6.4 megajoules (unit of energy) per kilogram dry matter.
In 2013, Cajucom embarked on planting corn and napier grass. He sold his harvest to PCC and earned P13,000 for his napier grass silage and P20,000 for his corn silage.
In his second cycle of panting and ensiling of corn, he harvested 34,000 tons which was sold at P1.84 per kilogram (kg). That was a cool P62,560 for his one-hectare farm.
He observed that if it is very hot and the standing crops are not irrigated, the harvest is only 23,000 kg. But if is irrigated, the harvest could reach 38,000 kg.
He observed that the appropriate age of forage corn to harvest it is between 75 and 80 days or when the ear’s seeds has about two-thirds milk-line or the distinct horizontal line that appears near the end of the corn’s kernel.
The ears of the corn plants are very good materials because of the high soluble carbohydrates and high-buffering capacity or their ability to neutralize the acid content with little change in pH.
The corn stem and leaves serve as the “rice,” while the ears serve as the “viand.”
The chopped corn plants including the ears are stored in a polyethylene sack with a capacity of 20-30 kg, for about three weeks before marketing or feeding to animals.
Cajucom, has proven the potential of corn silage production in the market. During one cycle of planting and harvesting, he produced 54,729 kg of corn silage in his two-hectare lot, sold at P191,551,50.
He gained a total net income of P66, 661.60 after deducting the cost for labor, planting materials, pesticide and herbicide application, irrigation, materials for chopping, and transportation, among others.
In a span of two years, Cajucom has earned a total of P582,475.80 from four cycles of planting and harvesting.
The main advantages of corn silage production, he said, are: it is not season-dependent as it can be done any time when there is forage abundance; it does not require sophisticated equipment, the shelf-life and quality of silage remain stable under longer storage time, and it can be prepared easily under small or commercial scale.
Cajucom, through his continuous experimentation and knowledge acquisition from the Technomart, has perfected his corn growing and ensiling. Harvesting his corn crop at 75 to 80 days and placing it in silo bags, he waits for 21 days to complete his ensilaging process.
With the help of his hired helps, he is now capable of producing an average of 100 tons per cycle. On peak days of selling his product, he disposes off at most 380 tons of silage that goes as far as Batangas for his usual client there.
He sells now his product at P3.50 per kg which has to be picked up by the buyer from his place.
“Silage is in demand now at any time and clime as the dairy carabaos being tended needed to be fed,” Cajucom said. “I am committed to this undertaking now,” he added.
As regards, his former work as a chemist in a corporation engaged in environmental concerns, he said he harbors no regrets in leaving it and plunging into a rarely heard of business venture.
Why should he regret about it? His gains in silage-making are multiple when computed.

In 2011, IBM announced the Power 775 supercomputing node/system which, for the time, was a significant increase in computing performance and energy efficiency. The system was designed from the start with water cooling in mind. The result: a system with greater than 95% of its heat load conducted directly to water and a system that, together with a rear door heat exchanger (HX), removes 100% of its heat load to water with no requirement for room air conditioning. In addition to direct water cooling the processor, the memory, power conversion, and input–output electronics also conduct their heat directly to water. Also included within the framework of the system is a disk storage unit (i.e., disk enclosure) containing an interboard air-to-water HX. The heart of the water cooling system is the water conditioning unit (WCU). The WCU circulates system water at a controlled temperature and flow rate while also transferring the electronics heat load to the data center facility building chilled water (BCW) system. The brain for this system is the motor drive and control assembly (MDA-WCU). In addition to the pump motor drive function, the MDA-WCU contains the control circuitry and associated firmware that maintains system water at a prescribed temperature above the room dew point irrespective of system and or facilities thermal/flow transients. It is also capable of error detection and fault isolation that, together with higher level system firmware, facilitates serviceability, and availability. The paper will present the WCU and MDA-WCU design with an emphasis on the control methodologies and algorithms.

Dolly Parton is getting ready to celebrate her 50th anniversary as a member of the Grande Ole Opry with a performance on the Opry stage on October 12. Yet, even with more than 50 years in the business, the 73-year-old country music legend is still one of the busiest stars on the planet.
Still, even a superstar singer needs some "girl time" once in a while, and for Parton, it's with her old pal Miss Piggy.
Parton posted a throwback with The Muppet Show diva to joke that she was taking time for some "girl talk." The iconic black-and-white throwback appears to be from Miss Piggy's guest spot on Parton's 1987 variety show Dolly.
The photo received more than 67,000 likes from Parton's 2 million Instagram followers. In addition, fans and famous friends hit the comments section to comment on the friendship of the country star and The Muppet Show icon.
Model and makeup artist Tess Holliday called the duo "Queens."
Author Julie Murphy dubbed the two "The Dream Team."
"My childhood in one photo," wrote another fan.
"The most iconic divas together in one room," added another.
You can see Dolly Parton's photo with Miss Piggy below.Of course, while they're all smiles in the TBT pic, longtime fans know that Parton and Miss Piggy have a "complicated" history together.
BuzzFeed notes that Miss Piggy appeared on the Dolly show back in 1987. During its short run on ABC, the variety series featured big name guest stars such as Bruce Willis, Patti LaBelle, Tom Petty, and Oprah Winfrey. But Miss Piggy's stint was one of the most memorable on the show because she literally tried to steal the show from Parton.
While Miss Piggy performed songs like "Hog For Your Love" and "Friendship" with Parton, behind the scenes she tried to sabotage the host's musical segments and tried to score herself extra solo spots. Parton got wind of the betrayal and later told fellow guest star Juice Newton that they all might be having ham sandwiches after the show.
Even without Miss Piggy by her side, Dolly Parton is one of the most iconic performers of all time. As reported by The Inquisitr, singer Kelly Clarkson recently listed Parton as one of the most "monumental" influences on her own career as she lamented over the sad state of country music radio today.
Check out Dolly Parton performing with Miss Piggy more than 30 years ago on Dolly in the video below.

Pigeons and rotten summer weather have led to poor crops this summer which could increase demand for genetically modified food, according to a farm manager.
Innes McEwan, who heads the farm operation at Jealott’s Hill Farm in Warfield, said this year’s reduced-quality wheat harvest could lead to a sharp increase in bread prices.
And as a result, consumers might be more receptive to the idea of GM crops to make bread.
Innes, 38, said: “There is now an opportunity for GM foods to help strike a balance while people are struggling for food.
“I cannot make it clear enough that we don’t grow GM crops here. We even go to lengths to make sure our dairy cows are not fed on genetically modified soya.
“But if the consumers are interested in eating food involving GM crops then the market will follow.”
Innes, whose farm is run by global biotech farming research company Syngenta, added: “The harvest has been very difficult this year. We’ve been struggling with the weather just like everyone else.
“The wheat has been okay in terms of quantity but the quality has been hit. This can have a knock-on to bread prices. There is plenty of wheat to feed to animals but not enough good wheat for milling.”
The weather was not the only problem to affect crops.
“Over the winter the oilseed rape plants were like a salad course for the local pigeons. Initially we had a lush, green crop and the pigeons obviously noticed that as well!
“It certainly knocked the crop. Normally we measure 3.75 tonnes per hectare, this year it was nearer three tonnes.”

The largest shareholder of Credit Suisse Group AG has ruled out giving the bank any financial support. It gave regulatory concerns as justification for its step back.
Chairman Ammar Al Khudairy responded, "absolutely not," when asked by Bloomberg TV if the Saudi National Bank was willing to provide Credit Suisse with extra liquidity.
After purchasing 9.9% of Credit Suisse's shares last year, Saudi National Bank, whose 37 percent is held by the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, became the bank's largest shareholder.
Axel Lehmann, the bank's chairman, stated that the institution is working to restore client confidence following a string of slip-ups.
Credit Suisse reported on Tuesday that client outflows have stabilised but not reversed, and as a result, its bonds fell, some of their prices hitting record lows. The price of many of the bank's dollar-denominated extra tier 1 bonds dropped to record lows, falling more than four cents. Credit Suisse stated that client "outflows stabilised at much lower levels but had not yet reversed as of the date of this report" in its 2022 annual report, which was released on Tuesday.
As a result of the market instability caused by the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, its shares fell to a record low on Monday and the cost of default insurance increased to all-time highs.
