Here are photos of Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine and Harry Styles arriving separately in Venice on Sunday. They’re in town for the film festival’s premiere of Don’t Worry Darling, which happens later today. We’ll have premiere photos tomorrow, trust! I cannot wait to see the body language, staging and group shots from the premiere. My guess is that Chris Pine will be tasked with being a buffer between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde. While Olivia, Chris and Harry are obviously going to do media at the Venice Film Festival, it turns out that Florence is opting out completely. Previously, immediately following the “Miss Flo” video (which Olivia sent Shia LaBeouf), we heard that Florence would be “severely limiting her press” for DWD, although she would fulfill her obligations and attend the Venice premiere. Well, that’s still the plan although Florence is now not going to do any media whatsoever in Venice.
Although Florence Pugh will be attending the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of “Don’t Worry Darling,” the star is limiting her promotional activities at the festival.
After arriving in Venice by private jet, Pugh will attend Monday’s red carpet premiere of “Don’t Worry Darling.” However, the actress will not be participating in the press conference for the film, which is set to take place earlier that same day. Pugh’s flight arrives in Italy after the presser. The actress’ plans for Venice were confirmed to Variety by festival representatives.
Pugh leads “Don’t Worry Darling” alongside an ensemble that includes Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Kiki Layne, Nick Kroll and Olivia Wilde, who also directs the thriller. Wilde and Styles reportedly arrived in Venice on Sunday, one day ahead of the premiere.
The news of Pugh’s truncated festival plans comes amid reports that the actress will be limiting her promotional activities for the thriller. The actress has stayed quite busy recent months, filming for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” before moving to the ongoing production of “Dune: Part Two” in Budapest. With a tight schedule, Pugh will return to filming the sci-fi sequel shortly after the Venice premiere.
Again, the studio (Warner Bros) is fine with this – they produced DWD and Dune, so they’re being pretty understanding towards Florence and her priorities and their shared priorities. I honestly think the studio is being exceptionally cool about it, and I can only imagine that Florence simply said to various Warner Bros executives that “this is Olivia’s mess and it’s her responsibility to clean it up.” Is Florence grey-rocking Olivia?
Some updates from the Venice press conference:
Yep, the press was prevented from asking Olivia Wilde about Shia LaBeouf’s leaked texts and videos about his departure from the film. “It’s on the internet.” https://t.co/vCyWMDIsS6

Today there is no shortage of information on issues related to energy – magazines, newsletters, national newspapers, email newsletters, dedicated Internet sites – the list goes on. Yet in this age of information overload, most professionals still take the time to read their favourite daily newspaper.
Junior Isles, TEI Times Chief Editor, often wondered:
How convenient would it be to have an industry 'newspaper' dedicated to providing forward-looking reporting on the key issues driving this exciting sector, delivered straight to your desk?
TEI Times aims to do just that. At last, an easy way to keep abreast of the latest news in the power and energy sectors – from a source you can trust.
Korea East-West Power and Daelim Energy have signed a shareholder agreement on 18 April to jointly invest in a Chilean distributed solar power project.
Standard Bank has announced that it will not provide funding for two new independent coal-fired power stations in South Africa.
Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), the second largest lender in Southeast Asia, has said that the two Vietnamese coal-fired power plants will be the last such plants it finances as it increases funding for renewable projects.
Siemens Gamesa has signed an order with Eurowind Energy for Thorup-Sletten, the largest onshore wind farm in Denmark to date.
GE has announced that it has successfully completed the world’s first installation of its DLN1.0+ with Ultra Low NOx combustion upgrade on nine GE 9E gas turbines at five plants in Shenzhen.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) today released its Annual Energy Outlook 2019 (AEO2019), including a Reference case and six side cases designed to examine the robustness of key assumptions. The AEO2019 Reference case projects significant continued development of U.S. shale and tight oil and natural gas resources, as well as continued growth in use of renewable resources.
In order to increase understanding of weather-related energy capacity issues in New England, EIA has begun publication of an interactive dashboard that provides timely information about energy market conditions in that region. The New England Energy Dashboard (NED) provides an integrated view of the energy commodities—natural gas/liquefied natural gas, electricity, and petroleum products—and market-influencing fundamentals—such as weather—that can influence energy consumption, prices, flows, and security in the region.
EIA releases the findings of Annual Energy Outlook 2019 (AEO) with long-term projections of U.S. energy supply, demand, and prices, including cases that address alternative assumptions regarding U.S. economic growth rates, domestic energy resources and technology, and world oil prices.

Those who know of my Australia ‘89 Lovetown recordings and remasters will know that I am quite pedantic about quality. I was positioned about 20 m from the main speaker stacks initially but to be honest I have found the main stacks at the Vertigo concerts to be quite scooped with their freq…lots of top and mud bass but not much else. For this recording I “took one for the team” and gave up my closer viewing location for the far better taping location of directly below the mid-way satellite stacks located further back , to get the ultimate recording. There can be bass cancellation in this area, and one foot to the wrong side and its wildly different…I located the sweet spot. More of Bonos voice is piped thru the satellite speakers than the main stacks I have found which is generally a good thing for this recording, although the speakers did seem to distort slightly on some his voice peaks. Very little audience noise. Personally I rate the sound quite highly…it was a case of being in the right spot, with the right gear, on the right nite, with the band really firing. Bono talked a lot and sang a lot of new stuff over the top. Ill leave it up to you to give it a rating tho. I have traveled around the country with u2 and captured all the concerts with this rig to DAT…not an easy task with metal detectors, wanding, patting down, bag checks etc for every concert….(except this nite for some reason). Just out of interest, there was a film crew at the concert tonite for the first time, running Panavision cameras on camera trees, none of the new cameras vision were fed to the stadium screens, which leads me to believe they were for something else (a live DVD perhaps???)..interesting. Enjoy ppl!
Shout out and respect to da man BOYACROBAT for his monumental contribution with his magical Lovetown recordings…youre a legend…as well as andyshea for putting his recent stuff up.
Share freely – Do Not Sell. Do Not Remaster. Do not convert to mp3! Split the show up however you want on your own CDs.

With a baby comes a new perspective on pretty much everything. Here are some of the things that took on a special significance after my daughter arrived:
With the arrival of a new baby, sleep is never far from your thoughts. Whether you’re trying to get baby to sleep, keep baby asleep or attempting to squeeze in a little sleep for yourself (I remember feeling on top of the world when I managed my first four hour stretch), this very basic human need becomes your obsession and the key to all happiness. You will never take it for granted again.
See that adorable little critter there, plumping out nicely round the jowls, and smiling a gummy grin up at you? Your body did that. Grew a whole person from nothing, birthed it, then (if you breastfed) provided all its nutritional needs for six months. Stretch marks? Wobbly bits? Pah. Your body is bad-ass. Time to stop being so critical of it.
Your own childhood
Becoming a parent makes you look at your own childhood with fresh eyes. I remember with new clarity how it felt to hang upside down from the monkey bars or climb a tree as high as I possibly could. The way my father stroked my hair goodnight and my mother picked gravel from my knee. A patchwork of personal memories will inform the way you raise and understand your own children and give you a new appreciation for the childhood that your own parents gave to you.
When you have a baby, the support of a husband or partner is something that is easy to take for granted, until you remember that some people don’t have someone to take over for a few hours while they catch up on sleep, cook for them while they get to grips with breastfeeding or cuddle them when they’re exhausted, irrational and weeping copiously. Be thankful and enjoy the new bond that this sometimes screaming, sometimes smiling bundle of energy will bring to your relationship.
When you have a baby, your time becomes very precious and that’s because you don’t really have any. The day starts at 7am (if you’re lucky) and simply hurtles by at top speed, in all directions, until you tumble exhausted into bed as early as you can legitimately get away with.
Life in general
When you are watching a life unfold before your very eyes, you find a new appreciation for quite how quickly it all passes and fades away. My daughter’s chubby little wrists. The way she smells in her pyjamas straight after her bath, or kicks her legs with delight when I push her on the swings. Life is no longer another day, another month, another year.
When you have a baby, suddenly, each moment seems to count that bit more.
Other mothers, everywhere
Since becoming a mother myself, I have a new appreciation for all other mothers everywhere, my own mother in particular. Quite simply, the whole world would come crashing down without them. They rock.

(See K. P. Green, pp. 48-52, May 2010 Proceedings)
Captain Michael R. Tollefson U.S. Navy (Retired)—Admiral Green's scan of the waterfront for an acceptable vessel to take the electromagnetic launcher to sea missed the obvious. The Navy already has on the ways an all-electric drive ship that delivers by 2014. Powered by a 78-megawatt integrated power system, with 54 megawatts of power margin at 20 knots, the Zumwalt (DDG-1000) is that obvious choice.
The 78-megawatt main and auxiliary turbine generators power a 34.6-megawatt advanced induction motor for propulsion. Beyond hotel services and mission systems, the delta is available for rail guns, ballistic missile defense radars, and other loads not yet imagined, without requiring any added generation capacity. The generators and the advanced induction motor have completed their factory testing. At 20 knots, the Arleigh Burke class has only 1.7 megawatts of power margin.

Facing the Mountain (Adapted for Young Readers) (Kobo eBook)
Adapted for young readers from the New York Times bestseller by Daniel James Brown, Facing the Mountain is the remarkable true story of three brave Japanese American soldiers who fought for the United States during World War II while facing discrimination at home. Perfect for readers of The Boys in the Boat.
After the Japanese military bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese Americans became the subject of racism and discrimination within the United States. Many were rounded up and put in concentration camps. But even while this was happening, there were many Japanese American soldiers who fought to ensure that all Americans were safe during the biggest conflict in world history.
Facing the Mountain is the story of three Japanese American soldiers: Rudy Tokiwa, Fred Shiosaki, and Kats Miho, who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to fight for their country in World War II. The book covers the three soldiers' deployment to Europe and the struggles of their families back home. Woven throughout is the chronicle of Gordon Hirabayashi, one of a cadre of patriotic resisters who stood up against the government in defense of their own rights.
Equal parts riveting war story, resisitance history, and courtroom drama, Facing the Mountain is a fascinating and impeccably researched book that will captivate young readers. Includes black and white photos and backmatter.

The New York State Department of Labor recently issued proposed regulations seeking to curb on-call scheduling, "call-in" shifts, and last-minute shift changes. The proposed regulations endeavor to provide employees with more predictable schedules, or compensate them for last-minute schedule changes. If implemented, the regulations will severely impact scheduling practices of New York employers. What do you need to know about these proposals?
Last November, the state's Department of Labor (DOL) released proposed statewide regulations targeting "on-call" scheduling of employees, seeking to curb employers' ability to schedule or cancel workers' shifts just hours before or even after those shifts began. After conducting four hearings and reviewing comments from the public, the DOL ultimately declined to adopt the proposed regulations.
The DOL, however, did not abandon this issue. On December 7, over a year after the release of the initial proposal, the agency released a revised version. Like the first proposal, the revised draft regulations would restrict "on-call" scheduling practices and require employers to pay their employees "call-in" pay in certain situations. The DOL's proposed regulations would apply to all employers subject to the Minimum Wage Order for Miscellaneous Industries and Occupations, which covers all industries except for the hospitality, building services, and agricultural industries.
The proposed regulations are now subject to a public review and comment period through January 11, 2019. We expect that the final regulations to be issued during the first quarter of 2019. If adopted, the proposed regulations would affect most employers in the state.
What Do These New "Call-in" Regulations Entail?
Currently, non-exempt employees who report to work are entitled to "call-in" pay that is the lesser of either four hours of pay, or the hours of pay in the employee's regularly scheduled shift, at the state minimum wage rate. Accordingly, if an employee reports to work and is then sent home, New York law requires that employee to receive "call-in" pay to provide them with a minimum level of compensation.
The DOL's proposed regulations would significantly expand employers' responsibility to pay their employees call-in pay. In addition to paying employees when they report to work, if the proposed regulations are adopted, employers would be required to pay their employees for: (1) unscheduled shifts, (2) cancelled shifts, (3) on-call time, and (4) call for schedule shifts.
- Reporting to Work: Under the proposed regulations, an employee who reports to work for any shift would need be paid at least four hours at minimum wage, or, in the event the regularly scheduled shift was less than four hours, the employee would need be paid minimum wage for the number of hours in the employee's regularly scheduled shift.
- Unscheduled Shifts: The proposed regulations provide compensation to employees who are not given at least 14 days' advance notice of a shift. In the event an employee is required to work a shift on less than 14 days' notice, the employer would have to pay the employee an additional two hours of call-in pay paid at the minimum wage.
- Cancelled Shifts: The proposed regulations require that an employer compensate an employee for a shift cancellation without advance notice. Specifically, an employee would be entitled to at least two hours of call-in pay paid at the minimum wage for a shift cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, or at least four hours of call-in pay paid at the minimum wage when a shift is cancelled within 72 hours of the start of the shift. Accordingly, instructing employees not to come to work because business is slow or they are overstaffed would come at a cost for employers.
- On-Call Shifts: If the regulations are implemented, employers would have to pay employees for time an employee is required to be "on call"—that is, the employee is required to be available to report to work if needed. Under the proposed regulations, an employee who is required to be "on-call" to report for a shift at work would be entitled to at least four hours of call-in pay at the minimum wage. If this proposed regulation is adopted, employers would need to carefully evaluate whether their existing on-call practices are essential to their business objectives.
- Call For Schedule Shifts: Under the proposed regulations, an employee who is required by the employer to contact the employer within 72 hours of the start of the shift to confirm whether to report to work or not would be entitled to at least four hours of call-in pay paid at the minimum wage.
Are There Any Exceptions To The Proposed Regulations?
The proposed regulations include a number of exceptions to the call-in pay requirement:
- Valid Collective Bargaining Agreement: An employee who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expressly provides for call-in pay would not be entitled to call-in pay under these proposed regulations.
- Wages 40 Times The Minimum Wage: An employee would not be entitled to call-in pay during any work week where an employee's weekly wages exceed 40 times the applicable basic hourly minimum wage rate. This exception does not apply to call-in pay for reporting to work.
- Job Dependent On Weather Conditions/Protecting The Public/Work Orders: Employees whose duties are directly dependent on weather conditions or are necessary to protect the health or safety of the public or any person, or whose assignments are subject to work orders or cancellation thereof, would be exempt from the call-in pay requirements, so long as the employee receives weekly compensation that exceeds the number of compensable hours worked times the basic minimum wage rate. This exception would not apply to call-in pay for reporting to work.
Employment/Volunteering: Employers would not be required
to provide call-in pay for an unscheduled shift for any new
employee during the first two weeks of employment. Separately, any
employee who volunteers to cover a new or previously scheduled
shift would not be entitled to call-in pay. A shift is considered
"voluntary" only if the employee may refuse to cover the
new or previously-scheduled shift.
The proposed regulations include a "safe harbor" provision applicable to employers that provide a written good faith estimate of hours to all employees. In this circumstance, there would be a rebuttable presumption that an employee has volunteered to cover the new or previously scheduled shift if either (1) the request to cover the new or previously scheduled shift is made by the employee whose shift would be covered, or (2) the request is made by the employer in a written communication to a group of employees requesting a volunteer from among the group and providing a reasonable deadline for responses. If no employee volunteers prior to the deadline, the employer may assign an employee to cover the shift without paying the employee additional call-in pay required for unscheduled shifts.
- Employer Response To Weather/Travel Advisory: An employer would not have to provide call-in pay for an unscheduled or cancelled shift if the employer offers employees the option to reduce or increase their hours (i.e. to stay home, arrive early, arrive late, depart early, depart late, or any combination) due to weather or other travel advisory warnings.
- Employee's Request For Time Off/Emergency: An employee would not be entitled to call-in pay when an employer cancels a shift at the employee's request for time off. Nor would an employee be entitled to call-in pay if the employee's shift or shifts are cancelled due to an act of god or other cause outside of the employer's control.
Interaction With NYC Fair Workweek Law
Retail and fast food employers in New York City are already subject to the New York City Fair Workweek Laws, which took effect in November 2017. The proposed statewide regulations do not discuss the impact the state wide regulations will have on the already-implemented city law, even though there are some conflicting terms.
New York employers must monitor these impending regulations closely and prepare to implement them if finalized. Comments to the proposed regulations can be submitted to the State by email to firstname.lastname@example.org.
If implemented, the regulations will greatly impact employer scheduling practices. You should conduct a comprehensive review of your scheduling practices to determine the impact these proposed regulations may have on your operations, including the potential costs that may stem from these regulations if scheduling practices are not changed.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

When we started planning and designing this intimate wedding at San Ysidro Ranch, we had in depth conversations with the bride about wanting the design to honor her Hispanic heritage. Our design north star became marrying her background with her fiance's - even as designers, we sometimes get to play the role of officiant. His family grew up with a vacation home in Montecito and his wish was to feel like they were hosting their closest friends in their very own backyard. Getting married at San Ysidro ranch is the closest feel to a backyard wedding.
We built the team and designed this event in a way that highlighted and celebrated two families' heritages.
Almost everything from this wedding stemmed from the tablecloth. We sourced linen fabric to honor the aesthetic of Montecito and give a nod to an authentic global pattern. Serendipitously, this fabric's official name is "The Montecito Medallion".
We mirrored the property's existing pergola to create a structure that looked like it had always been there.
We brought in La Musa de las Flores, based in Mexico, as our floral designer. She worked with local farmers to grow the varietals of her choice in Montecito specifically for this wedding.
When creating these "micro-moments", our goal is to lean into the surrounding environment and create a space that is appropriate for the time and place. Woven rattan, cane, and natural oak belong in this environment. We source furniture that complements the venue's existing architecture and we avoid sourcing indoor furniture for outdoor vignettes.
The ceramics were commissioned and handmade by La Musa de Las Flores in Mexico.
The pattern on the dance floor was taken from the tablecloth design and then customized for scale. Our philosophy with dance floors is that they should either subtly invite, as you would want from the entry rug in your home, OR serve as an attention-commanding focal point for the whole evening...nothing in between.
We're so grateful to have been a part of this day.

Great Britain, a major waste exporter, has been shipping about half a million tons of plastic to China every year. That ended this year. In a measure that took effect on December 31, China banned imports of 24 types of solid waste including waste plastics, unsorted scrap paper, discarded textiles and vanadium slag. China will also ban imports of solid waste that can be replaced by domestic resources by the end of 2019.
The move dealt a blow to foreign waste exporters. Britain has relied heavily on China for relocation of its waste and pollution as the country lacks sufficient recycling and waste processing facilities of its own. The ban will likely lead to the stockpiling of plastic waste and mean more incineration and landfill, posing harm to its environment.
For the US, another mass trash exporter that sent about $5.2 billion worth of scrap metal, paper and plastic to China in 2016, the ban will affect the US-based multi-billion-dollar recycling industry and result in losses of tens of thousands of jobs and the closure of many businesses in the country.
Despite having gained remarkable momentum in its economic development, China has paid a heavy price through environmental degradation and health problems posed by the improper recycling of imported waste which is often dirty, poorly sorted or contaminated with hazardous substances. Some companies in and outside China have also smuggled foreign waste of no recycling value for profit, creating environmental and public health hazards.
China's economy has been transitioning from rapid growth to high-quality development and pursuing modernization characterized by harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature. Against this backdrop, the country has ramped up efforts to stop being a dumping ground for solid waste and make the Chinese economy more environmentally-friendly.
As waste recycling is profitable and China suffers from a supervision and regulation deficit, relevant authorities should work together to gradually reduce the categories and amounts of solid waste arriving from foreign shores. Laws, regulations and related systems need to be improved to crack down on the smuggling, purchasing, reselling and illegal processing of imported waste to ensure that all violators involved are held accountable.
China's domestic recycling industry should upgrade its technology and standards. On the one hand, China should raise its safe recycling rate to recycle more of its own waste. On the other, the waste recycling sector needs to use more primary raw materials to replace foreign recycled waste.
International cooperation should be given high priority to address waste collection and distribution. Some Western powers need to abandon their beggar-thy-neighbor mentality and stop passing the buck by taking advantage of often-lax environmental oversight in developing countries in the name of boosting business ties with them.
With state-of-the-art technology and rich experience in processing solid waste, major developed powers should take more responsibility in this regard and ratchet up joint studies with developing nations on some thorny issues plaguing the recyclable waste field, such as how to deal with the toxic chemicals and heavy metals of electronic waste, how to mitigate the negative impacts of nuclear waste on the environment and public health and how to develop more advanced technologies and facilities into a coherent plan for the recycling industry.
An international anti-smuggling mechanism on returning garbage should be established with joint efforts of institutions like the UN, Interpol and the World Customs Organization.

"I can't say how much I appreciate Lego bringing out so many Pirate based builds this year. As I was building these it took me back to my childhood wanting big Lego sets but not being able to afford it, and just having fun playing with the basic pirate mini-figs and letting my imagination do the rest.
The three builds were really enjoyable with enough different techniques and variations that made each one unique. The Pirate ship was the most straight forward as it went through in bag order using most of the parts. The pub was a little less organised with parts spread across every bag, so basically just dump it all out and go searching. Skull island was about in the middle.
The ship is very cool with a lot of fun playable features for kids, the gang plank into the sharks mouth especially had my mini-figs dreading going overboard. Skull Island mouth opening to the treasure cave was a very cool touch and a half-turn keeps it open so your mini-figs can either find the treasure or store their ill gotten gains.
All in I would say these three sets have been the most fun builds I've done in a while and in terms of display, I'm super happy as they go along with my Pirates of Barracuda Bay set perfectly.
The photo's show the 3 sets and I've started to do some detail work (some using the extra parts from sets), I especially love the switchable face on the striped shirt pirate as the fearful look lets you have a lot of fun (as you can see from the shark photo)."

Some of the most adored and well-known meals in the world may be found in the best Mediterranean foods. Many people also think that this varied food holds the secret to living a healthy life.
More individuals are unaware of the location, history, and dishes of Mediterranean cuisine. Therefore, you’ve come to the perfect site if you’re interested in learning more.
As we embark on an epic gastronomic tour of this stunning region and investigate 20 of its most delectable meals, get ready for your tongues to tingle.
If you want to incorporate more Mediterranean flavors into your diet, be sure to scroll to the bottom of this article. A list of nutrient-rich meal delivery services for Mediterranean-inspired dishes, or use our table of contents to jump there.
What is Mediterranean Food?
Simply put, the best Mediterranean food is derived from the countries and regions that surround the Mediterranean Sea.
Today, 23 countries are classified as Mediterranean. All of them bring a distinct set of flavors and techniques to Mediterranean cooking.
Where to find Mediterranean food
Mediterranean cuisine can be divided into three culinary regions. They are as follows:
- Eastern Mediterranean
- Southern Europe
- North Africa
Naturally, all three have a strong influence on one another. However, due to climate and cultural differences, each region has developed similar yet distinct cuisines.
Balkan, Greek, Turkish, Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Egyptian cuisines dominate Eastern Mediterranean cuisine.
Southern European cuisine includes Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Southern French dishes.
Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, and Libyan cuisines have a North African influence on Mediterranean cuisine.
Important ingredients of Mediterranean food
Fresh vegetables, tender meats, and a variety of flavors characterize Mediterranean food.
Experts, on the other hand, have defined three core ingredients on which all regions have essentially built their cuisines: olives, wheat, and grapes.
For thousands of years, the Persian region has grown olives. Today, the Mediterranean region produces 95% of the world’s olives.
As a result, olive oil has become synonymous with Mediterranean cooking, as well as the preferred cooking agent over butter, fats, and other oils.
Wheat cultivation in the Eastern Mediterranean region has been documented for nearly 10,000 years.
This is why bread is such an important component of Mediterranean cuisine, which eventually led to other wheat-based foods like Italian pasta.
Persia’s location near the Black Sea provided the ideal climate for grape cultivation. Grapes have been grown there for at least 8000 years, according to evidence.
20 Best Mediterranean Foods
1. Moroccan Tagine
Moroccan tagine is essentially a Mediterranean stew with a rich history and a wide range of varied recipes.
The term ‘tagine’, on the other hand, refers to the method of cooking, in a large and shallow pot over high heat, rather than the ingredients.
Tagine dates back to the 9th century when Arabic ruler Harun al-Rashid and his armies conquered much of North Africa and the Levant.
Moroccan tagine encompasses a wide range of recipes, both meat-based and vegetarian. Tagine’s allure stems from its sweet and savory fusions.
Moroccan tagine is brimming with spices. These recipes frequently include the flavors of cinnamon, saffron, and ginger, among others.
Then there’s the mingling of native fruits with traditional savory ingredients. One traditional Moroccan tagine pairs tender lamb with prunes or apricots.
Everything soaks up in a broth of fresh vegetables and spices. Moroccan tagine has wild and daring flavors that frequently bend the mind.
This is a Mediterranean food to add to your foodie bucket list because it is bold, rich, and outrageously delicious.
It’s time to travel to North Africa and highlight one of the most well-known vegetarian dishes: falafel.
Falafel is a simple but tasty recipe. Each ball is made from mashed chickpeas and a variety of herbs and spices.
These bite-sized treats are formed into small patties. They are then deep-fried and served as an individual dish or as part of a larger meal or meze.
The history of falafel is hazy. They are thought to have originated in ancient Egypt as a simple snack to replace meat during fasting.
Originally, lava beans were used in falafel. However, as this food spread north into the Middle East, chickpeas quickly replaced lava beans.
They can be found in fresh salads, and pita sandwiches, and dipped in a variety of tasty sauces, such as tahini, in Mediterranean cuisine.
3. Fattoush Salad
Our next stop is Lebanon, and a multi-layered salad that is central to Levantine cuisine: Fattoush salad.
‘Fattoush’ as a word comes from the Arabic word fatt, meaning ‘to crush’. Fattoush, like Greek salad, is an example of Mediterranean ingenuity.
It is believed that Lebanese farmers would gather any remaining scraps of pita bread.
They would then fry them in oil and toss them into a salad of vegetables they had on hand.
This recipe quickly became popular throughout the Levant. There are numerous variations throughout the region’s countries.
A traditional Fattoush salad today will include freshly chopped cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and radish.
A sprig of mint or a squeeze of lemon adds another layer to the warm dough and the crisp vegetables of the salad.
A true Mediterranean delight and one of the region’s most basic but diverse dishes.
Pita is one of the world’s most well-known and loved bread, thanks to its puffy texture and soothing flavor.
This rounded flatbread made of wheat flour has been wrapping around Middle Eastern delicacies for millennia.
Pita evolved from some of the earliest recorded flatbreads approximately 15,000 years ago.
It comes from the Fertile Crescent, a region of the Middle East that stretches from northern Egypt to the Persian Gulf.
However, it was the Greeks who really put pita on the map. The term “pita” first appeared in English in the 1930s.
Pita gets its distinctive ‘puffed’ appearance from being baked at extremely high temperatures, up to 475°F. This turns the water in the dough into steam.
This enables it to be used as a tasty pocket for a variety of delectable foods.
Some cuisines, however, such as Greek cuisine, prefer the pocket-less pita. Lower temperatures are used to bake it, resulting in a flatter, rounder pita.
Pita is the ‘popular kid’ at the Mediterranean cuisine school. It goes well with a wide variety of foods.
Greeks enjoy dipping it in rich sauces such as hummus. Turkish people stuff it with tender meat for their favorite kebabs. Cypriots stuff theirs with soft halloumi.
It’s the ideal bread for a hearty breakfast of hummus, pickled vegetables, and falafel in Palestine.
Pita will almost certainly appear in a variety of exciting recipes wherever your Mediterranean adventure takes you. Bread for every season!
5. Greek Salad
The Mediterranean climate allows for the cultivation of truly ripe and juicy vegetables and fruits.
Simply walking through a Greek, Turkish, or Italian food market will amaze you with the size and vibrant color of the fruits and vegetables.
In addition, in the sweltering heat, a cool and refreshing salad is often the order of the day.
A Greek salad is thought to have originated as a result of farmers in rural areas preparing a quick meal with what they had on hand.
The Greek salad is traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and olives from the ground or markets.
Feta cheese is its distinguishing feature. A slice was traditionally used to coat the salad ingredients. Salads with cubed or crumbled feta are now available.
Drizzle the salad with olive oil and generously season it, and you’ve got a refreshing salad at the heart of Greek cuisine.
Couscous is such a simple Mediterranean food, but its impact on the region and the world has been enormous.
It is thought to have originated in Morocco and Algeria in the 11th century.
North African immigrants eventually brought the dish to France, where it quickly became popular.
The art of making couscous is enthralling. Couscous is simply thousands of tiny balls of crushed semolina.
Semolina is the leftover grains from durum wheat that are not classified as flour.
Couscous is made by spraying semolina with water and rolling it into tiny balls by hand. Finally, it is dusted with flour and drained through a sieve.
And where do we even begin when it comes to eating couscous? It can be found in salads, with vegetables, in stews, and even as a dessert in some places.
Couscous is yet another example of the incredible simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine. Creating national dishes out of leftover grains is quite an accomplishment!
Risotto is a simple and wholesome rich dish from northern Italy that has been eaten for centuries.
The broth in which the rice cooks is the key to risotto. Both should be cooked together until they reach a thicker, creamier consistency.
Many risotto flavors have been developed and curated over the years.
In traditional risotto recipes, parmesan cheese, onions, wine, and butter are cooked in broth with rice.
According to legend, a chef’s apprentice in 19th-century Italy added saffron to a rice dish at a large wedding.
According to legend, this is the very first ‘risotto’.
8. Pizza Margherita
This food requires no introduction. To stay true to our Mediterranean roots, we must return to 16th-century Naples, Italy.
Over time, oil, tomatoes, and even fish were added to the tops of flatbreads, which were referred to as ‘pizza’ at the time.
At the time, poor people’s food, and the variety of recipes gradually evolved over time.
And it is believed that the first pizza margherita was created in 1889 by chef Raffaele Esposito, a talented Neapolitan pizzamaker.
To honor Queen consort Margherita of Savoy, he created a pizza with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil as toppings.
The colors of Italy were represented by these three ingredients: white, red, and green.
Pizza is delicious all over Italy. But if you can get to Naples and order a rustic, stone-baked pizza, you’re in for a real treat.
The pizza margherita combines many of the classic Mediterranean food flavors. A hearty wheat bread base, juicy vegetables, soft cheese, and lots of olive oil.
9. Salade niçoise
But our stay in Nice is far from over. Another well-known Mediterranean dish from this city is the niçoise salad.
This fresh and vibrant salad, like many best Mediterranean food recipes, began as poor people’s food.
Throughout the 1800s, a dish of tomatoes and anchovies drizzled with olive oil was a quick and easy meal for the city’s poor.
The salad eventually made its way into restaurants and began to evolve. By the 1900s, salads were brimming with new and exciting ingredients.
The classic salade niçoise retains its core ingredients of tomato, anchovies, and olives.
As well as tossed salads, you’ll find a variety of fresh and crisp vegetables, such as peppers and shallots.
This is then topped with either a hard-boiled egg or a spread of canned tuna, drizzled with olive oil, and generously seasoned.
Salade niçoise, dubbed “the perfect summer salad” by many, is a delicious dish for a warm Mediterranean day.
10. Ful Medames
If it contains fava beans, it is almost certainly an Egyptian dish. Ful Medames is a traditional Egyptian dish that dates back thousands of years.
Ful Medames is essentially a fava bean stew. But this wholesome staple is so much more than just delicious fava beans.
Ful Medames come in a variety of flavors. The zest of lemon juice and the heat of chili peppers are both used to give the dish a kick.
Cumin, garlic, parsley, and onion, as well as other vegetables, are all included in the stew.
Once cooked, Ful Medames goes well with a variety of sides.
Egyptians enjoy this stew with a variety of ingredients such as vegetable oil, hard-boiled eggs, and cured beef.
The core recipe is thought to have changed little since ancient Egypt.
Naturally, this simple but filling stew spread throughout North Africa and the Middle East. It is popular in many countries.
Ful Medames is the best Mediterranean food dish that is great for breakfast or as a main course.

Frequently Asked Questions. About SCN and The Coalition.
The PI 88788 SCN resistance source is used in about 95% of all SCN-resistant varieties, and it's starting to lose its effectiveness in some soybean-growing states. SCN populations are adapting to and reproducing on PI 88788. As SCN populations increase, yields decrease - and the problem is getting worse.
Nature finds a way. Just like weeds have become resistant to herbicides after years of use, using the same SCN resistance source in the vast majority of SCN-resistant soybean varieties over decades has led to SCN populations adapting to and overpowering the resistance.
The scientific definition of resistance: <10% SCN reproduction on a variety. There is no legal definition. Unfortunately, SCN' s ability to reproduce on PI 88788 at greater than 10% is common in most areas, and on the rise. As SCN reproduction increases, yield decreases.
Think of it like blood pressure. You need to know your BP before you decide how to manage it. With SCN adapting, populations with the ability to reproduce on PI 88788 at greater than 10% are common in most areas, and on the rise. In fact, 30% or higher SCN reproduction on PI 88788 isn't uncommon in many soybean-growing states. As SCN increases, field decreases. If you don't know your number you could be losing yield.
Here’s the math: If half of a cup of soil starts with 100 eggs, around half of those eggs will be female and produce 250 additional eggs each. Even with a 95 percent egg mortality rate, after three generations there would be 24,414 eggs in that same half-cup of soil. Depending on the environment, most north central states will experience three to six SCN generations in one growing season, so that number could be exponentially higher for some farmers.
That depends on where you farm, what your SCN numbers are, and what your next crop will be. For example, a grower in North Dakota will have more non-host crop options than a grower in Iowa. Talk it over with those who advise you – Extension, agronomists, seed salesmen, industry reps or crop consultants – about the best way to actively manage SCN on your farm.
Your seed salesman may know. In any case, the next time you plant soybeans (after rotating to a non-host crop), plant a different resistant variety. Not all SCN-resistant varieties are created equal.
You're not alone. The next time you plant soybeans (after rotating to a non-host crop), plant a different resistant variety. Not all varieties with the PI 88788 SCN resistance source are created equal.
Here are two common recommendations:
- Every three to five years
- Every second or third soybean crop
Check with your advisor or Extension specialist.
This can change from year to year, so check with your state soybean board. In 2017, these state soybean boards offered free SCN testing: Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Two decades ago, the PI 88788 SCN resistance source worked very well. Two decades later, nature is finding a way around it. Just like weeds have become resistant to herbicides after years of use, using the same SCN resistance source in the vast majority of SCN-resistant soybean varieties over decades has led to SCN populations adapting to and overpowering the resistance. As SCN populations increase, yields decrease.

More than 90% of SCN resistant soybeans have the same source of SCN resistance (PI 88788), which has been used widely for more than 20 years. The PI 88788 SCN resistance source is starting to fail in some soybean-growing states. SCN populations are adapting to and reproducing on PI 88788. As SCN populations increase, yields decrease — and the problem is getting worse.

Two Chinese pharmaceutical companies' vaccine candidates are in Phase III of clinical trials. State-owned SinoPharm launched Phase III trials in July in the United Arab Emirates. It may be on the market by the year-end, according to the company.
Private firm Sinovac Biotech also launched the third phase trials of CoronaVacin in Brazil this month.
Chairman of SinoPharm, Liu Jingzhen, said in an interview that the results of phase I and II clinical trials of its vaccine candidate came out positive with no serious side effects.
Vaccine By Year-End
He added that the vaccine "could be on the market by the end of the year," while phase III trials were likely to be completed in three months, reports the Global Times. His statement came after the World Health Organization's expert applauded researchers' progress in developing COVID-19 vaccines. However, their mass usage cannot be expected until early 2021.
Vaccine Administered to SinoPharm's Head
The firm's first and second phase of clinical trials began in April, resulting in an ideal effect of the vaccine as none experienced serious side effects, said Liu. He himself received the vaccine as part of the test on March 30.
The vaccine candidate is jointly developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products and the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products under SinoPharm. They have also built P3-level production facilities for the large-scale production of vaccines, Liu added.
The vaccine candidate, according to Liu, is "leading the world in research and development, clinical trials, manufacturing facilities, and vaccine efficacy, safety, and accessibility."
At the same time, many other COVID-19 vaccines are in development. The University of Oxford in the UK reported its recent success in the second stage of vaccine trials.
Coronavirus vaccines by Imperial College London, Pfizer and Moderna are among 10 other candidates still in the second phase of clinical trials.

Bio-jet fuel: Today I brought a cool gadget to Technoport 2016: a burner assembly for the new gasification reactor. Pretty soon we will have a unique research infrastructure for biomass gasification at SINTEF Energy Lab. Simply put we will make the building blocks for bio-jet fuel. But more about that later.
Simply put we will make the building blocks for bio-jet fuel.
Technoport is an annual conference in Trondheim that brings together 700 researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, students and business in the private and public sector.
Bio-jet fuel has a big green potential
The current logging in Norway could produce up to 230 million liters of bio-jet fuel every year resulting in reductions of greenhouse gas emissions of 15-20 %. If the full logging potential in Norway was utilized; 530 million liters of bio-jet fuel could be produced reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Norwegian air transport by 40-45 %.
If the full logging potential in Norway was utilized; 530 million liters of bio-jet fuel could be produced reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Norwegian air transport by 40-45 %.
New biomass gasification reactor
SINTEF Energy Research is currently developing and building a unique research infrastructure for biomass gasification. The infrastructure is designed to convert difficult fuels into gas such as fuels with high ash content, demolition wood or waste from process industry.
- The reactor will be operational in 2016
- The reactor will be used to demonstrate the entire value chain from biomass to liquid biofuels through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
How it works
In the reactor
- biomass is mixed with a small amount of oxygen
- exothermic reactions provides the necessary heat for the process (up to 1500 °C )
- pressure is kept at 10 bar
The high temperature converts the biomass into a gas which after cooling can be converted into liquid aviation fuels using catalytic synthesis.
The infrastructure is a part of Norwegian biorefinery Laboratory (NorBioLab). It was granted funding (2014 – 2021) from the Research Council of Norway to establish a national laboratory for biorefining. The laboratory will establish unique research infrastructures that will play a central role in research aiming at developing novel processes for sustainable conversion of Norwegian land and sea-based biomass into new, environmentally friendly biochemicals, biomaterials and bioenergy products. NorBioLab includes the research partners Paper and Fibre Research Institute (PFI), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

$708 million month is the worst for retailers since 2006
The vidgame biz took a 26% dive in July, earning nearly $708 million in the U.S. — the worst month for retailers since October 2006.
The May results had previously been the industry’s worst month in nearly five years with a $743 million tally.
The results reflect only physical sales, however, and don’t take into account the growing revenue publishers are generating from digital downloads, rentals, mobile, social and other online transactions, NPD Group said.
Overall, software sales generated $336 million, down 17%, while hardware earned $223 million, down 29%. Accessories fell 8% to come in at $127.8 million, driven mostly by Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing system.
The top-selling titles for the month included Electronic Arts’ “NCAA Football,” whose sales were up 15% over the same period a year ago; Disney’s “Cars 2”; Activision Blizzard’s “Call of Duty Black Ops”; and Disney’s “Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game.”
Only eight games sold more than 100,000 units last month vs. 19 last year. Only 17 games were released in July vs. 29 during the month last year. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was the top console during the month, moving 277,000 units.
August sales are also expected to come in lower due to the delay of EA’s “Madden 2012” to September.
Last year, “Madden” game sales at retail comprised 14% of the total new physical retail sales in August, NPD said.
