Muesli is healthy. It contains whole grains and thus a lot of fibre. Both nutritional value and vitamins and minerals are present in beneficial amounts. It even tastes good. But cutting up fruit early in the morning isn't for everybody. Luckily there are ready-made mixes – all you need to do is add a little bit of milk or yogurt. The grains in cereal already have a long shelf life, which means that their valuable nutrients remain unchanged over time.
But is ready-made muesli as good as homemade? Just a glance at conventional dried fruits shows they are a long way off from the state of fresh fruit. They are not only shrivelled, they've also lost their original colour and a good portion of the vitamins they used to contain.
From ice to vapour
The modern freeze-drying process makes it possible to considerably reduce these losses, maintaining the majority of the fruits' vitamins and even colour for mixes with a long shelf life. This is mostly due to freeze-drying. It is based on the physical phenomenon of sublimation, which occurs when a substance directly transitions from a solid to a gas phase. The liquid phase is skipped in this process. For H2O, sublimation means that ice simply evaporates without first becoming water. Of course, this does not happen under normal conditions; it happens in vacuum.
The product to be dried is initially deep-frozen at normal pressure. Supercooled gases like nitrogen or carbon dioxide at temperatures below negative 50 degrees are usually applied in this process. There are two advantages to this: firstly, the cooling process happens very quickly; secondly, no ice crystals are able to form that would change the structure of the frozen product. After the freeze-drying process, the fruits are placed in a vacuum chamber. Now physics can do its work. Without air pressure, the frozen molecules of water in the fruits sublimate or, in other words, evaporate directly.
Showing their colours
It is possible to use this method to remove moisture from foodstuffs without heating them or subjecting them to a lengthy drying process. Valuable nutrients, aromas, vitamins and even colour remain intact. Instead of looking uniformly brown and shrivelled, freeze-dried fruits maintain their original colours. Their consistency also does not change as much. The dry cellular components remain intact as a sponge-like shell. The hollow spaces created during freeze-drying then rapidly take in water again. After they swell up again this way, the products are hard to tell apart from the fresh ones in ideal cases.
The indigenous population of the South American highlands was familiar with freeze-drying long before the Europeans arrived. The Inca and Aymara people used the process to detoxify potatoes. The types of potatoes used in the early days contained relatively high levels of alkaloids. Alkaloid content in today's varieties is usually limited to the skins. Freeze-drying potatoes to extend their shelf life and ease transport is still a widely used process in the highlands of Chile, Peru and Bolivia.
For a long period of time, the potatoes are exposed to frost at about minus ten degrees and covered with straw during the day. After some time, they are soaked in water and then frozen again. In the end, very shrivelled, lightweight nodules remain. In the Andes, they are called Chuño. Before it is eaten, Chuño is soaked in water. Its volume increases considerably during this process, like rice or pasta products. Mixing it with egg creates a nutritious side dish that is eaten with many of the region's typical meals.

Of course, fans in the comments couldn't help but swoon over Underwood's impromptu performance, with one user writing, "That's freaking awesome!! Love the song and she does it so well!!"
Another person chimed in, "So cool to see. We as fans seem to forget sometimes although she's famous, she's still human like the rest of us and just likes to have a good time. Thanks for supporting the music scene."
The "Ghost Story" songstress shared her own Instagram post from the night, which featured Underwood posing alongside some of her gal pals.
"Girl's night! OK, so the guys were there, too, but we were doing our best to pretend they weren't!" she cheekily wrote in the caption. "I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many amazing ladies! ❤ you guys!!!"
Following the June release of her newest album, Denim & Rhinestones, Underwood's fans are currently getting ready for the Denim & Rhinestones Tour, which is scheduled to kick off this fall.

Two of Colorado’s best-known historic properties are marking significant anniversaries. The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, opened on August 12, 1892, is celebrating 125 years in 2017 and is the longest continuously operating hotel in Denver. The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs opened its doors on June 29, 1918 and is planning all sorts of festivities for next year.
As a hats off to these significant meeting and event properties, I thought it would be fun to share some tidbits and possibly lesser-known facts about these longtime hotels. This time, I’ll focus on The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa since we still have a bit of 2017 left; next, the spotlight is on The Broadmoor.
Name location and look:
- The hotel was named for Henry C. Brown, the 19th of his father’s 20 children and a carpenter-turned-entrepreneur from Ohio. In 1860, he arrived in Denver and donated 10 acres in the middle of his property as a site for the new Capitol building. The property values of his surrounding land skyrocketed and from that Brown built his fortune.
- The hotel was built on a unique triangular piece of Brown’s land and was the first steel skeleton structure in Denver. It took four years to build and cost $2 million, a staggering amount for that time. Chicago architect Frank E. Edbrooke, who faced the structure with Colorado granite and red sandstone, also designed the Navarre across the street and 16 other buildings that still stand and are on the National Register of Historic Places.
- The interior of the hotel lobby features a rare golden onyx from Mexico.
- A total of 736 filigreed iron panels make up the railings around the atrium. If you look carefully, two of them are upside down and no one knows why.
- During the Great Depression, the top two floors of The Brown Palace were converted into the Skyline Apartments to secure a steady stream of income for the hotel. Tenants resided there until the 1980s.
The place to stay and buzz:
- Nearly every U.S. President since Teddy Roosevelt has visited The Brown Palace. President Dwight D. Eisenhower made The Brown his headquarters for his presidential campaign and frequently stayed for long periods visiting his in-laws (Mamie Eisenhower was from Denver).
- Denver socialite Margaret “Unsinkable Molly” Brown (no relation to the hotel founder) stayed here two weeks after landing in New York following the sinking of the Titanic.
- While past guests have included many celebrities and royalty, the hotel has its own resident queen. The Brown Palace was the first hotel in the city to nurture a colony of rooftop bees. Five hives, each with its own clever name, including “Buzzingham Palace,” are maintained by a dedicated Palace beekeeper. The honey is used in a line of spa products and in-room amenities as well as in afternoon tea, seasonal recipes and cocktails, and a Brown Palace craft beer.
This and that
- Pure artesian water is drawn from the hotel’s own well located 720 feet below the hotel’s foundation. The well is deeper than the neighboring skyscrapers are tall.
- The oldest restaurant in the hotel, Ship Tavern, opened in 1934 after the repeal of prohibition.
- A service tunnel was built under Tremont Street in 1959 to move in-room dining servers, housekeepers and other staff and equipment between The Brown Palace and its annex across the street—now a Holiday Inn Express.
What does this mean for groups? Special places like The Brown Palace and The Broadmoor are sure to be remembered fondly by groups, and there is tons of potential to build history into a fun activity or gift. Make sure attendees have time to wander around and really experience these distinct Colorado places.

“It is not the violence of the few that scares me. It is the silence of the majority.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Civilians become victims of war for two reasons: firstly, because of the perpetrators, and secondly, because the communities who had the capacity to stop the crimes have failed to do so.
War crimes, and crimes and humanity and peace were atrocities that plagued the Darfur conflict (2003-2010), the Iraq war (2003-2011), the Gaza war (2008-2009), the Sri Lankan civil war (2009), and the Syrian civil war (2011-present). However, these wars shared another similarity – they witnessed the repetitive systemic failure of the United Nations (UN) in protecting civilians in the conflict zones.
As such, the lack of responsibility portrayed by the UN at international law for failing in its duties questions its fundamental aim of “keeping peace throughout the world”.
This article argues that where the UN has failed in the given responsibility and power to impede crimes against civilian populations, the doctrine of command responsibility should be invoked to hold the UN accountable for its failure before the international community. This would be explored by way of a case study of the Sri Lankan war for reason that it endured the greatest non-interference by the UN during the final phase of the genocide of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka: a case study
The Report of the Secretary-General’s Internal Review Panel on United Nations Action in Sri Lanka dated November 2012 recorded that the 26-year old ethnic conflict which ended on 17 May 2009 between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suffered over 100, 000 deaths and 40, 000 of these deaths occurred between January and May 2009 alone.
When the conflict entered its final stages in September 2008, the government officially declared that it could no longer guarantee the safety of the UN staff in the Vanni. The Vanni, encompassing the districts of Mannar, Mullaitivu, Vavuniya and Kilinochchi, was the mainland area of the Northern Province under the LTTE control. Prior to this warning, the government made attempts to restrict the access of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to the Vanni area. Three weeks ensuing the warning, all international staff were withdrawn by the UN, effectively terminating UN’s assistance operations from within the Vanni.
According to the Report, the UN was aware that many families had sought refuge in Kilinochchi town as the “presence of international organisations formed the belief that this would contribute to some certainty of physical security”. The inherent concern was that “the moment humanitarian organizations abandon the town, Kilinochchi town would be bombed by the government and that the physical security of the civilian population will be at increased risk”. It was also stated that the “absence of the UN would result in no one to bear witness to incidents”.
In October 2008 the UN agreed with the government and the LTTE that weekly convoys of humanitarian assistance would be sent to the Vanni, despite the organisation of the convoys being logistically complex and demanding. Following the capture of the remainder of the Jaffna peninsula by the government, all attempts of delivering humanitarian assistance by land was ended as the 11th and last convoy was subject to heavy artillery fire and close proximity shelling by the government. Simultaneously, increasingly difficult living conditions caused by the monsoon resulted in tens of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had no access to latrines and little to no shelter. By March 2009, the lack of food and medical care had caused the deaths of thousands.
The death toll increased as government forces pursued their military offensive against the civilians, forcing them into government-declared No Fire Zones (NFZs) and then proceeded to assault the NFZs with aerial bombardment, long-range artillery, howitzers, MBRLs (unguided missile systems), small mortars, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), and small arms fire.
With the intention of not wanting to prejudice humanitarian access by criticising the government, the UN remained silent over the government’s conduct. Many public statements and reports were issued by the UN, accusing the LTTE of committing human rights and international humanitarian law violations whilst almost omitting to explicitly mention the government’s responsibility for the violations of international law.
When the senior UN officials were contacted for their help in facilitating surrenders in during last phase of the war in early May 2009, other LTTE leaders were advocating for a ceasefire instead. The Chef de Cabinet requested the government to allow him to fly into the conflict zone to witness surrenders and act as a guarantor of safe passage. However, the government refused and the UN believed it could not attempt further follow-up.
Throughout the final stages of the conflict, Member States of the UN did not hold a single formal meeting on Sri Lanka, whether at the Security Council, the Human Rights Council or the General Assembly. There were several “informal interactive dialogue” meetings held by the Security Council for which there were no written records and no formal outcomes. At the meetings, secretariat officials failed to emphasise the responsibilities of the government or distinctly explain the link between government and LTTE action. Full information on the deaths of civilians was not given either. Only three days before the end of the conflict the Security Council issued a press statement stating that the death toll of the civilians was “unusually high” and that most of the deaths and injuries were caused by the government.
The doctrine of command responsibility owes its jurisprudence to both the Nuremberg Tribunals and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). The principles of this doctrine have been affirmed by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in the cases of Re Yamashita [327 US 1 (1946)] and Trial of Wilhelm von Leeb et. al. (1949). According to Protocol 1 to the Geneva Conventions which codified command responsibility:
“…any commander who is aware that subordinates or other persons under his control are going to commit or have committed a breach of the Conventions or of this Protocol, to initiate such steps as are necessary to prevent such violations of the Conventions or this Protocol, and, where appropriate, to initiate disciplinary or penal action against violators thereof.”
There are two branches of command responsibility: the first is where a Commander is responsible for the acts of his/her subordinates; and secondly, where the Commander is responsible for crimes committed within the Commander’s territory. Should either of these elements be satisfied, then this doctrine can be successfully invoked against the Commander or the official in-charge.
For purposes of this article, the responsibilities of officials in-charge over territories will be examined. For instance, in the case of Trial of Wilhelm List et al.,(1949), it was held that a Commander’s responsibility extends beyond his subordinates to encompass peace and order over the territory as a whole. His responsibility is general and not limited to a control of units directly under his command. Hence, to hold the UN liable, it is necessary to prove that the UN’s senior officials had knowledge of the crimes, effective control or the ability to take action to prevent their commission, and finally that they had failed to take such action.
The UN’s knowledge of the on-going civilian attacks by the government is evident as by the end of January 2009, deaths and injuries were subject to systemic UN monitoring. The February 9 mission report by the UN staff members to the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs estimated 1, 000 civilian deaths and 3, 000 civilians injured during the period between January 20 and February 5.
On March 9, another report by the Resident Coordinator (RC) and several United Nations Country Team (UNCT) officials recorded that the “total minimum number of documented civilian casualties between January 20 and March 2, 2009, in Mullaithivu District” was 2,683 deaths and 7,241 injuries, of which two-thirds occurred within the 14 km² NFZ.
Additionally, the satellite photos taken by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research illustrated repetitive government offensive by means of heavy artillery on civilians and the successive photographs depicted the rapid increment of deaths in the Vanni.
The UN’s clear and undistorted knowledge pertaining to the deaths and injuries suffered is therefore undeniable. However, was this catastrophe under the effective control of the UN? Or did the UN have the ability to take action to prevent the commission of the war crimes?
According to the Final Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Events at the Refugee Camps in Beirut dated February 7, 1983 (also known as the Kahan Report), “the responsibility must be placed not just on the perpetrators, but also on those who could and should have prevented the commission of those deeds which must be condemned.” As per this report, the element of effective control encompasses “the duty of the occupier, according to the rules of usual and customary international law, to do all it can to ensure the public’s well-being and security.”
In the circumstance of the final stages of the Sri Lankan war, the UN proved not have effective control as they had evacuated the Vanni in September 2008 and were also denied from providing humanitarian assistance ever since. However, the question to be raised is whether or not the UN’s lack of effective control over the state of affairs which consequentially facilitated the commission of the war crimes was deliberate and intentional.
The UN’s internal review panel stated that the pull-out was unnecessary as the UN entourage could have “relocated further up north as opposed to abandoning the south” which resulted in the “civilian population being left without protection or witness”. The panel added that simultaneously in Colombo, “many senior UN staff did not perceive the prevention of killing of civilians as their responsibility – and agency and department heads at the UNHQ were not instructing them otherwise”. The UN’s Panel of Experts (PoE) reported that the UN showed “sustained and institutionalised reluctance to stand up for the rights of the people they were mandated to assist”.
The case for the UN’s failure to act is also based on the facts that the UN had failed to deploy peacekeepers to Sri Lanka, there was a lack of formal meetings of the Security Council on Sri Lanka’s on-going civil war, and member states had failed to seriously address the genocide during the war. Above all, the UN displayed mute criticisms over the government’s conduct.
When the doctrine of command responsibility was invoked against the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) for the massacre of Srebrenica, it was found that the UNPROFOR had indeed breached its responsibility as they had knowledge of the crimes that were under their effective control, and despite that, they had failed to act. Perhaps, the case is not the same for the UN officials in Sri Lanka. The difference between the involvement of the UN in Srebrenica and Sri Lanka is that in the latter state, the UN chose not to have effective control, and this by itself is a clear breach of duty of care owed to the civilians.
What is appalling is that the UN’s systemic failure of civilian protection occurs most when the permanent members of the UN’s Security Council stand to gain close to nothing from interfering in wars. While the genocide of over 100, 000 Sri Lankan Tamils was deprived of international outrage and humanitarian response from the international community, the comparatively handful 2, 996 deaths caused by the September 11 attacks on America’s World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in 2001 resulted in a worldwide outcry which saw the rallying of robust communities, waging war against terrorism. These double-standards undermine the jus cogens of fundamental human rights values and must not be condoned because no person’s right to life is more important than another’s.
While it is imperative that the UN being the custodian of human rights is given adequate support and acknowledgment for their peacekeeping efforts, the international community must be aware that the mandate the UN holds must be translated non-discriminately and proportionately into their peacekeeping operations. The repetitive systemic failure to prevent the commission of war crimes and to protect civilians in war zones must not be tolerated in any case. In doing so, it inadvertently condones the perpetrators. The choice of interference for the sake of civilian protection is no longer an option for the UN, lest the alternative would see the manifestation of evil. – February 3, 2015.

AUDIO EXPERIENCE FROM FRANCE
It is impossible to be interested in French HIFI without wanting to find out more about one of its flagship products. Therefore, I want to take you on a journey to the place where Devialet products are made. I ventured out to the Normandy countryside to witness and understand all the steps involved in creating a Devialet—a machine never before been seen in the world of HIFI.
Whether you love them or hate them, it is clear that Devialet’s varied products do not leave anyone indifferent. To understand the company’s commercial decisions, you need to examine its beginnings: from the first, making a Devialet in France meant meeting exigent demands. As a consequence, the company wanted to collaborate closely with an extremely reputable industrial partner who would be able to meet its particularly stringent standards. Indeed, the fact that Devialet chose to work with a firm located not too far from Paris shows that the company wanted to retain a high level of quality control. Based on some initial prototypes, Devialet chose Seprolec, a company located in Vire, Normandy, to build and assembly all its products.
An exceptional industrial resource
When I arrived in the parking lot of the small business park where Seprolec is located, the first thing I noticed was the impressive length of its building. However, I had to go inside to fully appreciate the 5,000 m2 it spans. About 100 people work at the factory; each day, they put together high-tech circuit boards and other electronic products that will be used, notably, by the aerospace or defense industries or to make industrial electronics. Before venturing any further into the building, I had to show identification and don a blue smock and antistatic heel straps.
During the visit, Philippe Larmanger, Seprolec’s industrial manager, was wont to remark, “Here, we specialize in high mix, low volume.” What he meant is that Seprolac fills a somewhat unique industrial niche: it manufactures a low volume of products assembled from many components and it exploits a high level of technological expertise paired with a very flexible production capacity. It makes sense that these two assets seduced Devialet’s management team.
A lengthy and meticulous manufacturing process
Larmanger invited us to check out the long and complex production line. He pointed out that the factory’s impressive length means that production is optimally organized: on one end is the area where the components are stocked and on the other the place where final product assembly takes place. Our visit therefore starts in the enormous components warehouse, which contains 25,000 different parts. A Devialet motherboard alone requires around 1,600 components. Here, all the components, regardless of their form or function, sport labels so that they can be easily traced. A second stocking area is dedicated to housing surface-mounted (SMD) components, which are subject to strict European environmental standards (for example, most components can no longer include lead). “It is also here that we are confronted with our first major challenge, protecting the sensitive components, which must be stored under highly controlled conditions: humidity levels must be between 2 and 5%,” explains Larmanger. It is crucial that these conditions be maintained because these components will be mounted on a circuit board at temperatures of 260 °C (500 °F); at that temperature, humidity levels higher than 5% could have catastrophic consequences. Consequently, moisture-sensitive components are housed in massive, hermetically sealed cabinets.
The next step in the process is an essential one: it yields the motherboard, the backbone to which a multitude of components will be attached. The production of the motherboard involves a sort of stencil, a stainless steel mesh about 100 microns thick. An abrasive substance is then applied to etch the board in a very precise way, creating many microstructures onto which the components will be positioned. This positioning process involves large rollers—they form part of an automated assembly line whose job is to arrange the components on the bare motherboard. These machines can lay down 68,000 components an hour.
The components, carefully positioned on the motherboard, are then soldered in a single stroke, using a type of wave soldering. This process takes place in a machine, in a nitrogen atmosphere, at a temperature of 260 °C (500 °C). The back of the motherboard will subsequently be extremely carefully bathed in tin. Larmanger underscores several times that all the boards are systematically subject to quality control measures. Although X-ray checks are conducted on only a small subsample, every single board undergoes an automated optical inspection. When the machine finds a problem, human workers will visually examine the suspect board for defects using a microscope. Boards that receive a green light then continue on down the assembly line; the larger components, such as the capacitors, filters, inductors, and battery, will be soldered on by hand.
At this stage, the motherboard is almost ready. It will then move on to the part of the factory that is dedicated to Devialet products; this area started off at 30 m2 (323 ft2) in size in 2009, at the beginning of the Devialet adventure, and has since swelled to 300 m2 (3,229 ft2). Within this space are several workstations where assembly is completed and the electronics are programmed. First, the motherboard is mounted in a case, made from aluminum and machined by a supplier in Grenoble. The other 25 steps required to give the case its unique mirror-like look (such as the polishing) are performed by a subcontractor in the northern outskirts of Paris.
Once the motherboard is mounted, all of the connectors can be hooked up. It is important to note that the connectors are assembled straight onto the motherboard to eliminate the presence of small internal cables. During these last, manual steps, the power supply is connected and the LED screen is added, as is the much vaunted remote control (one of the product’s must-have features). The Devialet is now ready to be programmed (a bit like a computer). A suite of programs are installed that regulate the power supply and the ADH amplification system and that manage the remote control system as well as any local or WIFI connections. It is important to point out that the consumer can install system updates via Devialet’s website and the machine’s SD card, a free service that allows the product to continue to improve over time. This extremely novel technological approach defies all the laws of audio systems—updates that increase a machine’s power are absolutely unimaginable for a traditional amplifier.
Before being carefully placed in its packaging, a Devialet must undergo a series of tests and all sorts of quality control checks to verify that it is functioning properly. It takes about three weeks to build a Devialet, from the time the first components are garnered from the warehouse to this final step.
Given its price tag of a little under 5,000 euros, a Devialet remains a luxury item. However, for those who may continue to harbor any doubts, the technological value of this product is indisputable. The well-heeled consumer would be right to question the true added value of a great number of competing products available in this price range (or at much higher prices): since they are conventional amplifiers, they come off as rather antiquated given the adaptive capacities and multiple features of a Devialet.

What to pair with anchovies?
One of the combinations that works best is when anchovy is teamed up with the bitter-sweet notes of cruciferae vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and puntarelle (young chicory shoots).
How do you eat anchovies on a pizza?
At Pizzeria Beddia we take anchovy fillets from Sicily and add them to the top of the pizza after it comes out of the oven. This allows them to melt a little, incorporate into the pie, and become aromatic.
What goes well with anchovies on pizza Reddit?
They are the best! Epic combination is mushrooms, ham and olives with anchovies. Keep in mind they are salty, so careful ordering any other topping with salt.
Do anchovies taste good on pizza?
Anchovies have a briny flavor that make it a popular option for sauces, rubs and dressings. Most commonly, anchovies are used in Caesar dressing. The somewhat overwhelming flavor can deter people from trying anchovies on their pizza. However, if done correctly, anchovies can add great flavor to your pie.
Can you eat anchovies out of the tin?
Devour Them Whole. Yup, that’s right, you can snack on those fishes straight out of the jar, especially when you ‘ve grabbed the good stuff—high-quality anchovies are tender and meaty, with a silky texture and clean brininess. That said, they ‘re also powerfully strong.
Why are anchovies so expensive?
“They’ve limited the supply, which will all know lifts the price.” Additionally, unusually severe Pacific storms have made anchovies much harder to catch. “The strange weather patterns have made the sea more turbulent and less people are willing to go out into the sea – which increases the cost of fishing.”
Does Pizza Hut do anchovies?
TIL Pizza Hut use to have anchovies. Pizza hut is coming out with a new menu (again) they will no longer have anchovies period. Along with other menu items that will be be disappearing. Iirc most people didnt order anchovies so it was mostly going to waste.
Do anchovies on pizza have bones?
Yes, you always add anchovies on the pizza even without removing the bones. This is because the bone has literally a negligible size and is soft as well which makes it edible.
Why are anchovies so salty?
That mouthwatering umami found in dishes that use cured anchovies comes from the glutamate developed in the salting process. During months of lying in salt, the fish are transformed by enzymes and good bacteria into a salty, briny powerhouse, with little to no fishy taste left behind.
Is anchovies on pizza good Reddit?
Anchovies are great, especially after a drink or two. Like a heap of salt on your slice. I prefer the ones I get from Lidl that are marinated in white wine vinegar. Not as salty but very delicious.
Does Papa John’s have anchovies?
Yes, Papa John’s does offer anchovies as either an ingredient or a side item. At the stores I’ve worked at, we’ll give the customer the entire tin when ordered as a side, or package up the remainder in a couple of souffle cups if they order anchovies on a pizza.
Why dont pizza places have anchovies?
Pizza chains do not have anchovies for the same reason they don’t have avocado — not enough people request them to make it worth stocking. A lot of pizza chains don’t offer anchovies on pizzas because they aren’t a very popular topping.
Who invented anchovies on pizza?
Italians have been putting anchovies on bread for more than 2000 years. Ancient Romans made fermented fish parts into a paste called “garum” and they were also among the first toppings on pizza when its modern iteration was invented in Naples in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Playgrounds: An Experiment in Citizen Participation. A Report.
Gallagher, Paul E.
Lay citizens, high school students, and professionals were involved in a project to plan, design, and construct three innovative playgrounds in the inner-city of Brockton, Massachusetts. Using the citizen participation process, two playgrounds designed innovative uses of donated materials such as old tires, discarded telephone poles, and conduit pipe were planned and completed. How the conception of the charrette process was implemented is described in separate accounts of each of the three charrettes. In order to provide some guide to communities, organizations, or institutions who may be interested in attempting a similar experiment in building playgrounds using citizen participation, a brief, outlined "how-to" manual is included.

That big, scary word tossed around in cloistered halls of "higher-learning", sociology readers and the occasional discussion in MMO's. I've been trying to come up with reasons why agency is present online and in gaming for my senior thesis in school and it's clear that some semblance of the word means something, but in the mass ocean of the internet, who cares about one fish?
And then it dawned on me as I was reading James Gleick's book, "The Information" (a fantastic read, btw, for anyone who wants to know more about why information is important), that agency, individuality, is just like the butterfly effect in physics, just like the spark of a single electron is to the larger atom, that everything matters. All of our interactions, our rants and diatribes, our misspellings and memes have an importance that affects a great many out of a small few where the information originated from.
How awesome is that? We've always been told by our parents and nice kindergarten teachers that we mattered, but how many of us have felt useless and downtrodden, insignificant in the whole? Now, this isn't to say that every twitter post has a profound impact on another person a world away, but that, instead, the mass of tweeters, the horde of Facebook users and the miasma of wretched YouTube commenters (ya bastards!) have a global impact by merely participating in such vast, similar and specified networks. Maybe we aren't becoming the same, as the computer scientist Jarrod Lanier fears (check out his book "You are not a Gadget"), but we are participating in many of the same mediated, online, cultural loops that DO affect our perceptions of self, that notion of agency.
I love this blogging thing!

So we asked real women to contribute their thoughts. Read on to hear advice, commiseration, and encouragement. On knowing who you are and what you want… The biggest difference from dating in my 20s from dating in my 30s is how secure I feel with myself. In my 20s, I was still unsure of what I wanted and who I was. It was a time of trying new things and exploring. Now at 30, I feel solid in my personality — my quirks, my flaws, and my strengths. Learning how to be alone has actually really helped me learn how to be a better friend and partner. It goes back to knowing who I am and what I want.
Understanding Men: Suddenly He’s Too Busy to See Me?
Aug 6, 1. My boyfriend is a grown 36 year-old man who lives fearfully of his own mother. She is nothing but sweet and happy-go-lucky…usually. But if he is too busy to run an errand for the family or if he passes up on a higher-paying job, we all better make a run for it before getting an earful. That being said, Oma is the most generous woman and is just about the best cook on the planet.
You see Dan that i am not the handsomest guy around and that i dont really get the pretty girls, its using the “cuter” and shyer boys that do and its confusing, and I would really like to pick up a beautiful girl.
From their mother to daycare, and then to school, and also from everywhere all over the mass media, millions of men have been brainwashed to believe that the best way to be loved by women is to be nice. But countless of nice guys, hitting a fucking wall, have already figured out that being nice was actually very counter-productive when it comes to women. Of course, women are saying all over the place, that: Come on, there is a fucking epidemic of nice guys; what the hell are they talking about?
They are just following the social trend. What can I say? Women are followers, and they hate to go against the grain. They do what society tells them to do. But the reality is, being a nice guy is very unattractive for women! I know it might sound really counter-intuitive especially if you have been programmed to be a nice guy by your mom since your birth.
This is, in fact, unrealistic, dysfunctional and unattractive to women.
7 Surefire Signs the Guy You’re Dating Is a Player
How do I ask someone to be my boyfriend? There’s a process to follow before you can expect someone to be your boyfriend. You have to know each other well enough to know that you actually like each other. Being a proper boyfriend or girlfriend requires an element of commitment. So I’d expect you’d have been dating for a while before asking him to be your boyfriend.
Thanks to social media, I get a lot more questions from people looking for relationship advice. And I freaking love it. Seriously, hearing from fans and followers is probably my favorite thing in the world.
He says he wants to be with me forever and that he loves me- I mean, could see us being like that but does he really mean it or is he just saying what he thinks I want to hear? And when I said it, I would have meant it… The thing is, as I had more relationships —more falling in love and then eventually the break-up, more ups, more downs, more experience — my perspective changed and the way I was in relationships changed too… for the better.
Sure, people get jaded by breakups, sometimes for a month, sometimes for several months or longer , but the ups and the downs of relationships are both really good things. At the same time, love does not mean that you should expect him to pick up the phone all the time or text you constantly. First and foremost, get a handle about how you feel about it. A trap that I see a lot of couples fall into is that one person is annoyed by what the other one is doing, but instead of figuring out a constructive way to address it, they just hold resentment towards the other person to a degree.
Some things to consider:

The best free online dating site Coffee Meets Bagel uses its data to bust the common dating myth “Men only like younger women”.
Dating is really hard. First you have to find someone with whom you share a mutual attraction, then you have to make sure that you want the same thing in terms of commitment. But the hardest part is meeting someone. As a result, many have turned to online dating sites. In fact, a third of recently married couples met online. It’s time for a frank discussion!
What I learned from interviews was that online dating is equally painful for men and for women, but for very different reasons. As the saying goes: Women are afraid men will kill them. Here are the tricks I used to win women’s hearts — and how to spot them.
What It’s Like Dating a White Guy as an Asian Girl
Or are you fresh off of the dating scene and in a new relationship? Here are five resources that help when you are feeling uncertain. Both conventional wisdom and experience show that having sex too soon increases the likelihood of ruining a potential relationship.
I hate this job and plan on starting nursing school soon. Anyway, a week after I moved here, I met a guy 32, RN, divorced finalized 2 years ago through my house mate at a party she had at our place. Ever since our first date, we have seen each other every single weekend with the exception of ONE, when I had to go back to NY to tie up some loose ends. I met him on one of these Interracial Dating Sites. He started a new job in mid-September working from 3 PM to And of course we always hug when we part.
Our friends have volunteered all of the information about his past relationships, including his ex wife. He even gave me an overview on our first date of all his relationships, minus his marriage he said I could ask my housemate about his ex wife. I learned that his ex wife proposed to him after dating him for 9 months, and after a year of being married, he is the one who filed for divorce because she would literally come home from work and go straight to bed, and sleep through the entire night.
The others were clingy, or needy or just crazy according to our friends one mixed narcotics with alcohol often. For myself, I was in a very tumultuous relationship from the time I was 18 until I was just shy of I was engaged to this man; he was my first practically everything he was also the same age as me, I met him at college.
Online Dating: How to Write the First Message or Email
Ritu Post Tags Guys, far different from girls in nature do not exhibit their inner self easily. They rarely share their personal life with everyone coming in their way. Even the most outgoing and loquacious guys do not disclose their feelings and reasons behind their unexpected behaviours at certain times. So, it needs a tricky approach to touch their heart and gain an insight into their life.
Before proceeding, we would like to suggest you to keep some points in your mind. Two, keep your expectations low, very low.
Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially with the aim of each assessing the other’s suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship or is a form of courtship, consisting of social activities done by the couple, either alone or with others. The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary.
The two of you have just started dating and, even though you’ve had several stellar evenings out, you aren’t entirely sure if he likes you. Along with the giddy butterflies that you feel when you’re near him, you may also have some cautious stress when you wonder how he feels about you. Knowing what signs to look for can ease the getting-to-know-you process and help you to determine if he’s really into you.
Addicted Actions If your guy seems like he needs to be near you constantly, it’s a sign that he likes you. In the beginning of a romantic relationship, the chemicals in your — and his — brain can create a rush of excitement that almost feels like addiction, asserts therapist Debra MacMannis on PsychCentral. While he isn’t technically “addicted” to you in the same way that an alcoholic needs a drink, craving your attention shows that he has a definite interest.
For example, he may call you constantly just to say “hi” or ask you out on dates daily. Crazy Behavior He seems somewhat unstable and his behaviors don’t make sense. If your new guy goes from giddy to anxious to gleeful or has other types of erratic behaviors, you’re likely seeing signals that he likes you. Even though this type of behavior may seem crazy, it’s actually common during the initial stages of attraction, notes MacMannis.
That said, if this type of behavior carries on as time goes by, seems more and more strange or makes you uncomfortable, he may have a problem that requires professional help. Getting to Know You Even though the first sparks of electricity between the two of you may feel good, physical attraction isn’t the only sign that he likes you during the initial stage of dating.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) announced on Tuesday that the Israel-Palestine conflict has resulted in over 58,000 Palestinians being displaced from their homes in Gaza, out of which 47,000 are currently seeking shelter in UNRWA facilities. It has also led to the destruction of health infrastructures such as COVID-19 testing labs and other facilities.
The UNOCHA further stated:
The UN acknowledges the opening of the Kerem Shalom crossing today, which has allowed dozens of fuel trucks from the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to enter Gaza. Regrettably, other essential humanitarian cargo was unable to cross. It is critical that the Erez crossing is also opened for the entry and exit of critical humanitarian staff.
Amnesty International has urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the airstrikes by Israel, which led to the death of several people, including children, as they could potentially amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. It further observed:
The Israeli army claims that it only attacks military targets and has justified airstrikes on residential buildings on that basis. However, residents told Amnesty International that there were no fighters or military objectives in the vicinity at the time of the attacks documented.
Amnesty International also added that the rocket attack by armed groups in Palestine, which killed several civilians in Israel, should also be investigated by the ICC. It violates international humanitarian law.

New Hampshire thinking of making online poker legal
4/3/10 - The Nashua Telegraph reports that New Hampshire state governor John Lynch is considering the intra-state legalisation of online gambling as one option to close the budget gap currently facing the New England state.
Governor Lynch's spokesman, Colin Manning, said Friday that the governor will unveil his plan after the Easter break....and the legalisation of online gambling is one of the vehicles he has been reviewing.
Gov. Lynch recently opposed a legislative push to permit slot machines and casino-style gambling in Hudson and at five other New Hampshire sites. The House is now debating a Senate-approved bill that allows up to 17 000 land-based legalised slot machines and table games in the state.
The governor opposes the Senate bill because it fails to prevent the proliferation of gambling. But online betting would, in fact, allow for gambling’s proliferation, according to Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, a Democrat from Manchester and the prime author of the bill.
“I haven’t seen his proposal,” D’Allesandro said. “But if the governor is afraid of proliferation, what easier way to proliferate it than online gambling?”
The newspaper notes that Americans account for half the $16 billion spent globally on poker and other online games that are operated outside the U.S., and that New Hampshire has no law expressly prohibiting online betting.
Lynch met recently with state Lottery commissioners, and Internet gambling is one of the options that was discussed, Manning said.
“The governor is working on developing a comprehensive strategy to address the revenue shortfall,” Manning said. “There are a number of options the governor is looking at.”
Lynch will continue talking with lawmakers until a decision is reached, Manning said.
Further opposition can be expected from former state Sen. Bob Clegg, who now works as a lobbyist for Green Meadow Golf Club, which aims to bring a land casino and resort to Hudson.
“The governor is worried about proliferation of gaming but it sounds like he’s going to make every computer terminal in every home and every BlackBerry – including those BlackBerrys held by kids in high school – a gambling facility,” Clegg said. He added that online gambling doesn’t create many jobs, and could be handled by someone out of state.
Those behind gaming sites in New Hampshire contend the casinos will create jobs and boost flagging state and local revenue.
Such an operation in Hudson would bring the town as much as $10 million in annual tax revenue, Jay Leonard, the Green Meadow project attorney, said. About 3,800 jobs would be created, some of which will be trickle-down positions at restaurants and other businesses, and about 1,900 construction workers would be needed to build the resort, he said.

In an interview with the news agency, Stadtwerke Ettlingen’s Eberhard Oehler said that a simulated attack on the utility had revealed how easy it would be to hack into the energy company’s network through its IT grid.
Felix Lindner, head of IT security company Recurity Labs, who conducted the cyber attack in November 2014, said he gained access to Stadtwerke Ettlingen’s control room and could have “switched off everything: power, water and gas” for the town of Ettlingen, home to 40,000 people in the south of Germany.
Mr Oehler said: ”The experiment has shown that sensitive, critical infrastructure is not sufficiently protected.”
As more components of an energy company’s infrastructure come online, including smart meters, concerns are increasing about the vulnerability of hackers tapping into customer and utility data.

Malicious software used to steal millions from bank accounts has re-emerged a month after U.S. authorities broke up a major hacker network using the scheme, security researchers say.
The security firm Malcovery said it identified a new trojan based on the Gameover Zeus malware, which officials said infected up to one million computers in 12 countries, and was blamed in the theft of more than $100 million. By infecting large numbers of computers, the cyber criminals were able to control the devices to steal passwords and send out emails to further spread the infection. In a status report filed in court, officials said that “all or nearly all of the active computers infected with Gameover Zeus have been liberated from the criminals’ control and are now communicating exclusively with the substitute server established pursuant to court order.”
A blog post by the security firm Emsisoft said the new variant may be harder to combat, because it is using “an evasive technique that allows the botnet to hide its distributive phishing sites behind a constantly shuffling list of infected, proxy computers.”
Gameover Zeus, which first appeared in September 2011, stole bank information and other confidential details from victims. The FBI blamed the Gameover Zeus botnet for the theft of more than $100 million, obtained by using the stolen bank data and then “emptying the victims’ bank accounts and diverting the money to themselves.”
Russian Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev, 30, an alleged administrator of the network, was charged in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with 14 counts including conspiracy, computer hacking, bank fraud and money laundering in the Gameover Zeus and Cryptoblocker schemes.

The first time the bipartisan Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board dissected a National Security Agency surveillance program, it found fundamental flaws, arguing in a January report that the NSA’s collection of domestic calling records “lacked a viable legal foundation” and should be shut down.
But in its latest study, the five-member board takes the opposite view of a different set of NSA programs revealed last year by former NSA systems administrator Edward Snowden.
The new report, which the board was to vote on Wednesday, found that the NSA’s collection of Internet data within the United States passes constitutional muster and employs “reasonable” safeguards designed to protect the rights of Americans.
The board, whose members were appointed by President Barack Obama, largely endorsed a set of NSA surveillance programs that have provoked worldwide controversy since Snowden disclosed them. However, the board’s report said some aspects of the programs raise privacy concerns meriting new internal intelligence agency safeguards.
Under a provision of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as Section 702, the NSA uses court orders and taps on fiber optic lines to target the data of foreigners living abroad when their emails, web chats, text messages and other communications traverse U.S. telecommunications systems.
Section 702, which was added to the act in 2008, includes the so-called PRISM program, under which the NSA collects foreign intelligence from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and nearly every other major American technology company.

The indomitable diggi Raja has done it again.
Two days after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) media department chief Janardan Dwivedi issued a directive to 100-odd party functionaries, including the high-powered CWC members, to " not to speak out of turn" and " restrict yourself to your area of responsibility", AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh defied the gag order.
He spoke on his perceptions about Home Minister P. Chidambaram and reiterated his stand (which had triggered a controversy) on the Maoists as well as the Azamgarh boys.
The muzzle order, however, had some effect on others. Law minister and AICC general secretary Veerapa Moily, appears to have got cold feet, at least for Thursday.
He cancelled a scheduled interaction with women journalists at the Indian Women's Press Corps, saying he was indisposed.
However, he later attended a GoM meeting on iron ore.
Even as the party tries to discipline its own leaders, there is considerable consternation at the way ministers are talking out of turn in public-the latest instance is of External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna snubbing home secretary G. K. Pillai in public.
Expressing concern over the lack of " public relation exercises" at the government level, a senior party leader said the government should do something to " improve the atmosphere". Many in the Congress and the media interpreted Singh's controversial take on various issues as the provocation for the gag order.
Singh is AICC general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh and hence, as per the directive, is supposed to speak only about that state.
The unputdownable Singh is not one to take recourse to Facebook and Twitter to express his views, though more and more Congressmen are now following in Shashi Tharoor's footsteps.
The latest converts being Anil Shastri, special invitee to the Congress Working Committee, and AICC media spokespersons Manish Tewary and Shakeel Ahmed.
" Neither do I use Facebook nor Twitter ," Singh said when asked if he would follow his counterparts in tweeting. Justifying his comments on the issue of Maoists, he maintained they were made in his capacity as party general secretary.
Giving two hoots to the circular, Singh said as Uttar Pradesh in-charge, he could speak on Naxalites and the Batla boys.
His logic: there are Maoists in Uttar Pradesh also. And Batla boys belong to Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh.
At the same time, Singh said: " I welcome the circular. Everyone should follow it. Whatever I say and do, I try to be as honest as possible and follow the directives of the party," Singh told reporters. " I faithfully follow the directives of the AICC and never deviate from them." Defending his comments in a newspaper article, Singh said the debate on Maoists was going off track.
" Half the people say they were revolutionaries and the other half said they were terrorists.
Both are wrong," he said. He maintained that the aspirations of people in the Maoist-affected areas had to be met and socioeconomic issues addressed.
Singh reiterated that his stand on the Maoists was the stand of the party.
Asked about his visit to Azamgarh to meet the families of those accused of terror activities in the Batla House case, he said no one in the AICC had disowned what " I had said".
"I went there as AICC in charge of the state." He said PCC president Rita Bahuguna Joshi and the entire state unit was behind him when he visited Azamgarh and no one had ever spoken against him.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good start to the week. To the friends and families of the Dana Crash victims one year ago, our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have had the toughest year of your lives and I pray that you continue to receive strength from Above to carry on. This is a first for Dooney’s Kitchen. One of my readers sent in this recipe and I am very excited to post this. Hopefully this will encourage more people to send in recipes. I have created a category called Foodie Community Recipes, so if you want to be a part of it, simply send in your recipes. This blog was created for foodies to unite, so come on, join the parade. Lol.
Dooney’s Kitchen information alert!!!!. My people from the East, I’ll like to let you know that Ofe Nsala is not synonymous with the Ibo’s alone. It may be named ‘Ofe’ – english for soup, but it is also found in the Efik culture. Coincidentally I was taught how to make this soup by my Calabar friend Joy, whom you must have read me mention her name on the Edikakong and Afang Soup post. I will let Ms Socially Awkward the author of this recipe, explain further.
The common English description of “Ofe Nsala” is “white soup” and previously, I had always thought it was a recipe that was unique to Ibo people until I met an Efik lady who cooked it for me, and informed me that white soup also forms part of their culture. So, I’m now aware that a number of Nigerian South-Eastern tribes have their own version of the same dish but going by what I’ve tasted from pots in different localities, we all seem to apply the same basic principles in cooking it. Another example is Banga Soup which is more popularly associated with the Urhobos. Efik people also prepare this dish but it is called Atama Soup in their culture, due to the use of the Atama leaf. The spices are the same though.
This is a spicy rich soup, cooked without the usual ingredients of Palm oil or any leaves (which is common in most Nigerian soups) – which is how it became known as “white soup”. Some people believe that because Palm oil has been left out, white soup is healthier than your usual egusi’s, afang, etc but I doubt it. All that yam or cocoyam, Lol. The health proponents of any soup always depends on the ingredients used and white soup comes with its own fair share of oil when cooked with some of the ingredients I’ll be listing out below so the key is maybe using leaner meat/fish? Something to ponder on.
White soup can also be defined as a thicker and richer type of peppersoup, no more no less. The only difference is that it is made so that it can be enjoyed with starchy solids such as Garri (eva) or Pounded yam, but you can eat it on its own if you are calorie conscious. As long as you’ve got your usual peppersoup seasoning, loads of meat/fish, a thickening agent, assorted pieces of offals (mainly tongue or gizzard) and the usual native seasonings, you can whip out your pot and get this show on the road.
You will need
1 whole chicken – cut into pieces.
1 tilapia fish – scaled, gutted and cut into pieces
1kg of red meat – in my particular case, I used lamb-chops which… didn’t exactly pan out the way I planned so I exempted them from the final product; however, I strongly recommend goat meat or mutton, for reasons I’ll go into later
1 large piece of dried fish
5 scotch bonnet peppers – ata rodo/habanero pepper
2 large onions
1 cocoyam – if you don’t have any cocoyam, 1 tablespoon of plain flour should do
1 cooking spoon of dried prawns
Uziza pods – the little skinny ones that have a strong smell, you only need about 3 of these; but if you haven’t got Uziza pods, you can use 3 teaspoons of the blended peppersoup seasoning which is usually sold in African shops
dawadawa – iru: fermented locust beans
4 maggi cubes
The pictures of the ingredients can be found on the Ingredientspaedia page
1. Blend the onions, smoked prawns, scotch bonnet and a pinch of dawadawa. Ms S.A’sTip: Traditionally Ofe Nsala doesn’t call for dawadawa, but I like it in soup.
2. Peel the cocoyam and cut it into small pieces, wash the smoked fish, break apart into large pieces and kept both ingredients aside.
3. Boil the chicken in a pot on high heat with a little water for 10 minutes. Ms S.A’s Tip: very little water as the blended mix gets included shortly afterwards. Add the blended mixture from Step 1, season with 2 Maggi cubes and cover the pot tightly. Leave this to boil for 30minutes under high heat. Ms S.A’s Tip: I like to exercise my chompers and don’t like soft meat so I don’t boil beef or chicken until it falls off the bone but other people may prefer to leave the chicken boil until it softens to their own preference. Dooney’s Kitchen Tip: if you are going to be using supermarket grade ‘soft chicken’ please take it out of the pot after 15 minutes and continue with the cooking process, otherwise you will end up with shredded chicken. You can always reintroduce the chicken into the pot towards the tail end of cooking when you add the tilapia.
4. The chicken has been cooking for 40 minutes in total. Reduce to medium heat and add the smoked fish, cocoyam and red meat. If you have any assortment of offals, add it now. Ms S.A’s Tip: In the absence of cocoyam, mix 1 tablespoon of plain flour with enough water to form a thick paste and add to the soup. Dooney’s Kitchen Tip: I was taught to boil the cocoyam with the skin on, until it soft enough to peel off easily. Then you proceed to mashing the cocoyam in a small mortar to form a paste which you add to the pot. Save yourself the trouble and use a blender. A food processor is too much trouble to assemble just to mash a few pieces of cocoyam.
- Remember I mentioned above my unfortunate error with the Lamb chops. Well this is what happened. I saw Lamb chops at the store and thought it would be a good idea for soup, thinking it is almost equivalent to mutton. Wrong! 5 minutes after I included the lamb chops, I knew they were never pre-destined to be in a pot of soup. They were so tender but when I cut into one, I found that the meat was still red. Those babies were always intended for roasting so I just scooped them all out and popped them unto an oven tray instead for grilling. Therefore I’ve now gained two dishes instead of the one originally planned, not bad at all, eh? Lol.
- So on the question of which red meat to use – this is why I would suggest either goat meat or mutton as your best options. My experience of Ofe Nsala is more commonly associated with goat meat, which gives it a distinctive taste but since relocating, I’ve used mutton to cook it and found it has a nice taste. Lamb is a bit too mild so it doesn’t compete properly with the strong flavour of chicken, crayfish etc. but the key thing is to use red meat that comes ‘on the bone’ because when boiling it, the flavours & stock contained in the bone really adds to the body of your soup.
5. Let this cook for another 15 minutes (because I’ve now omitted red meat, otherwise I would have cooked until the meat is ready) and taste for heat from the pepper, the flavour of the smoked prawns and the peppersoup seasoning. If you need more, re-season.
6. Add a sprinkle of salt and the tilapia. Once the fresh tilapia is in, cover the pot tightly and turn off the heat to allow the residual heat cook the fish without overcooking it which can result in the tilapia breaking apart. I think it’s such a waste to spend so much on fresh tilapia, only for it to break into pieces in soup.
……..and voila, Ofe Nsala is served! It should be quite thick and dished up with healthy portions of fish/meat/assortment of offals.
Ms Socially Awkward has been very nice to send this in, and a very big thank you from me. She has saved me trouble of using the cocoyams I have at home for white soup. I will direct it towards making Ofe Onugbu (bitter leaf soup) instead, so stay tuned for my recipe. Ms S.A made this for a friend who is breastfeeding who was really pleased. It is a great offering to carry along to see anyone who’s just had a baby and it doesn’t involve too much cooking time.
I am very happy to know that I am not the only one that does this. Bringing along food when visiting someone who has just had a baby is a very lovely thing to do. New mums always have their hands full, so that bowl of soup, pepper soup, or stew that your bring along may just saved her some days off from cooking. So people, don’t just bring a gift for the baby or show up empty handed when visiting. Cooking is a labour of love, so show that friend or family member that you were thinking of her.
If you enjoyed reading this recipe, don’t forget to email me your own recipes of dishes you are great at.


Police said that a woman found her 55-year-old husband murdered inside a Bedford County home on Wednesday afternoon. The Shelbyville Times-Gazette reported the victim has been identified as Larry Walls of Enon Church Road. "We don't know how long he had been there; we don't know for sure," Sheriff Randall Boyce told the newspaper. Investigators have not released any additional information on his cause of death. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed. *The Shelbyville Times-Gazette contributed to this report.


Gain insights into building utilization by tracking people’s movements
Organizations place increasingly high demands on their facilities and working environments. The overall focus is currently on a healthy working environment, cost control, and sustainability with a view to reducing CO2 emissions. Consequently, “floor space” must be arranged and utilized as optimally as possible – starting with the measurement of occupancy within the building.
The Office Occupancy Counter (OOC) from IMBuildings provides data on how rooms or office spaces are used. By measuring peoples’ movements in passageways, occupancy can be analyzed and the information can be used to determine the utilization of a building or office space. The OOC provides insight into buildings by looking not only at how many people are in a room, but also at how they are moving.
No camera is needed because the active infrared signals ensure the accurate measurement of people’s movements. This approach also means that no personal data is collected. Measurement is done by the sensors anonymously. The wireless sensors work with the EnOcean protocol.
Facility managers can gain more precise control over cleaning staff. Restrooms can be cleaned as needed rather than according to a set schedule. If a restroom is rarely used, it doesn’t have to be cleaned as often. In addition, the insights gained help to reduce energy consumption, improve working efficiency, and reduce costs. For example, heating can be lowered when occupancy is high (in relation to utilization). But the heating can also be lowered if occupancy is low. Based on data provided by the OOC, users can also respond to room air quality (CO2 level).

text: Maddy eventually bounces back, and unfortunately, so does her relationship. Still, there's no doubt we're all waiting with bated breath for the anticipated second season (rumor has it the first table read was this week). But for as talented as Demie is at doing her own makeup, you probably won't ever catch her doing it on set for the show. "I love the idea of doing it myself and would love to one day for a film, but I think it's too complicated for TV," she said. "I honestly prefer to have it done and just sit there and read my script." Still, she admitted that sometimes she does get her eyeliner or lip liner started before stepping into a scene, but for now that's it.

When did Jonah Hex become the Crow?
C'mon Warner Bros. ... all you're doing is making us more concerned about your actual superhero movies that don't involve Batman.
Though hex has some nice little shoot outs and Brolin was otherwise fine, the film could have been greatly improved with a)No supernatural element b)R rating for violence and c) nudity. I'm telling sex and blood gushing violence can save films.
Michael Fassbender practically stole the show.

Paradox Interactive, the company behind games like Stellaris, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Trade Empires, has announced that the company is transitioning to a new CEO. The company’s new executive will be the executive vice president of marketing and product development, Ebba Ljungerud. She is very well known in the video game industry, having previously served as the marketing director of Paradox Development Studios. She will take over as the company’s CEO on August 1, 2017.
Paradox Interactive today announced that Ebba Ljungerud, the company’s co-founder, executive vice president and chief operating officer, will be leaving the company to pursue other interests. Ljungerud will still be working with the company on an as-needed basis until the end of December, at which point she will leave the company.
Ebba Ljungerud, the CEO of Paradox Development Studio, has stepped down from her position as of January 8th, 2018. Ljungerud is a turning point in the history of the company, as she was the first female CEO of a major Nordic gaming company, and one of the few women to head a leading Nordic gaming company. She has been with the company for 20 years.
Due to different opinions on the company’s future direction, Ebba Ljungerud has chosen to resign as CEO of Paradox Interactive, and has done so with immediate effect.
The board of directors of Paradox Interactive has nominated Fredrik Wester as CEO, effective immediately, after he left the post in 2018. Wester was formerly the Chairman of the Board, but due to his new position, he has had to resign from that position.
“As CEO of Paradox Interactive, Ebba has done an outstanding job. The company’s organization, player base, and game projects have all been reinforced and developed under her leadership, providing a solid foundation for future development “Chairman of the Board Hkan Sjunnesson issued a statement. “We regret her decision to quit, but we wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.”
Ljungerud strengthened the business through managing the commercial and critical success of Crusader Kings 3 in September 2020, as well as expanding the publisher’s reach by putting its library on Xbox Game Pass, which allowed it to reach a new audience.
The continuing development of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been plagued by issues, and Paradox Interactive’s previous development company Hardsuit Labs was removed from the project early this year, but Paradox has yet to announce which developer would take over the project.
The most recent DLC for Europa Universalis 4 also had difficulties upon release, with players encountering a slew of glitches and other issues that resulted in a flood of negative reviews on Steam.
Fans will be disappointed to see Ljungerud leave the position, but we wish her the best of success in the future and believe that the business will be well-served by Wester.
We’ve contacted both sides and will keep you updated as we learn more about this developing story.
The game industry has an industry-wide problem: diversity. This week, Paradox Interactive announced that its CEO, Ebba Ljungerud, will be stepping down from her position. Ljungerud has been the CEO of Paradox Interactive since 2011, and has been instrumental in leading the company to become one of the largest independent game developers in the world..

A new Mascarimirì project comes out: Elettro Mascarimirì – Music For Dancing, where Salento music changes its path.
From music for traditional parties it moves to much more innovative clubs and events, using the Sound System as a language for dancing, in the spirit of the circularity that binds “lu Tamburreddhu Salentino” (Salentino frame drum), Vinyl and the CD of nowdays.
The project born during the 2020 pandemic from the nostalgy of making people dance:
Claudio “Cavallo” Giagnotti decided to create his own music to play during his DJ live sets and parties organized by him, to release the free spirit of dance – this simply creating MUSIC FOR DANCING – an entire album of songs capable of making people dance on all longitudes.
ELETTRO MASCARIMIRI is the result of a sound research by Claudio “Cavallo” Giagnotti based on Mediterranean rhythms wisely combined with modern sounds to create an album with an international flavor, with the ability to make the public dance in every corner of the world.
ELETTRO MASCARIMIRI is a world of sounds that meets, in addition to the music of southern Italy that exchanges with other cultures of the world music: from Balkan to South America (Cumbia, Forrò, Calypso), from the Middle East (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan) to the south of France and Spain finishing in Gitanistan “the worlds of international Roma music” – all this thought electro-live, to make dance and continue an ancestral ritual that only the rhythms of traditional music preserve.
ELETTRO MASCARIMIRI was born from the idea of Claudio “Cavallo” Giagnotti, Salento musician-producer of Roma origins and co-founder of Dilinò “center of Alternative and Mediterranean Music from 2002 to 2019 and today artistic director of Arra Produzioni Mediterranee, an artist who from the first 90s changed the sound of Pizzica Pizzica Salentina by remixing it and innovating it, creating grooves to dance to.
His first remixes and works are from the late 90s, later included in the first album Taranta Trance produced with the Alpha Bass collective, collaborations on Tecno Pizzica projects, directed by Piero Fumarola and George Lapassad, Taranta Virus and Giro di Banda directed by Cesare Dell’Anna, up to the publication with the Mascarimiri of Triciu Remix and Pizzica in Dance Hall Party tribute to the great researchers who came to Salento, from Alan Lomax to Diego Carpitella and international collaborations with Dj Click Parisian dj producer and Papet J of Massilia Sound System , Suggs McPherson (Madness).
The album includes textes in: Salento dialect, French, English, Arabic and Polish.
