Basbousa recipe with its step by step pictures. Learn how to make Babousa at home.
Basbousa is a classic Middle Eastern dessert or in simple language, you can say it’s sweet semolina cake made from semolina and desiccated coconut, soaked in a sugar syrup that is flavored with cinnamon, rose water and lemon juice. You can also adjust its sweetness as per your taste, just half or double the amount of sugar in the syrup.
This cake is very popular all over the Middle East and every country makes it slightly different. For example, In Syria and Palestine they make the recipe with yogurt and coconut while in Egypt it’s called Harissa and only water is used. In southern Greece, it is called Ravani, while in the north, it is called Revani.
This Middle Eastern recipe for sweet semolina cake is incredibly easy to make. It’s soaked in an aromatic and flavored sugar syrup topped with blanched, peeled and halved almonds. A perfect recipe to be made on Easter weekend (though I made it a little late) 😉 😉
Semolina based desserts are very popular throughout the Middle East and many parts of Europe too. There are, quite frankly, too many semolina cake variations out there. Some recipes call for eggs and some are eggless and hence yogurt and baking powder are used in them. Some require honey base and some are made with sugar syrup. Some are flavored with citrus fruits like lemon juice and orange while some use aromatic spices like cinnamon etc along with rose water.
This dense, moist, hot cake when topped with cool, aromatic and flavored sugar syrup creates a magic and is an absolute delight for your eyes and taste buds. Perfect recipe for any festive or celebratory occasion. With Basbousa I am in love with the Middle Eastern cuisine and I will definitely make other recipes of this cuisine too.
So let’s start making Basbousa and here is the step by step recipe with pictures.
Ingredients to make Basbousa:
Semolina- 2.5 cup
Desiccated Coconut- 1.5 cup
All Purpose Flour- 3/4 cup
Powdered Sugar- 1 cup
Baking Powder- 1 teaspoon (optional)
Light Corn Syrup- 1 teaspoon (if not available then simply use equal quantity of Honey)
Thick Yogurt- 1 cup
Unsalted Butter- 1 cup
Vanilla Essence- 1 teaspoon
Milk- 3/4 cup (or more if required)
For Making Sugar Syrup:
Sugar- 1.5 cup
Water- 1 cup
Lemon Juice- 1 teaspoon
Rose Essence- 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon- 1 stick of 2″
Almonds- 10-12 (blanched, peeled and halved)
Method of making Basbousa:
1. Take all the dry ingredients in a big mixing bowl.
2. Add yogurt and vanilla essence in it and mix well.
3. Add melted butter in it and mix well. Meanwhile pre heat the oven to 180 degree C.
4. This will be the texture after adding butter.
5. Gradually add milk in it and keep mixing from other hand. You can also increase he quantity of milk if u need but keep the consistency of the batter thick and fairly stiff.
6. This is how the basbousa batter should be like.
7. Lastly add honey in it and mix well.
8. Now grease a baking tray with some melted butter.
9. Immediately transfer the basbousa batter to the baking tray from the mixing bowl and level it smooth with your hand.
10. Mark impressions with a sharp knife to cut diamonds later.
11. Place the halved almonds over each diamond.
12. Keep the baking tray in oven and bake it at 180 degree C for 35-40 minutes or till nice golden brown in color. You can increase or decrease the baking time according to the size of your oven.
13. Meanwhile let’s make sugar syrup. For this take sugar and water in a pan over high flame and add cinnamon stick in it.
14. Bring it to a boil and keep the flame high till sugar dissolves completely.
15. Simmer the sugar syrup and add lemon juice and rose water in it. Boil the sugar syrup thickens slightly. Turn the flame off and allow the sugar syrup to cool down completely.
16. Take out basbousa from the oven. Insert a tooth pick in a piece and if it comes out clean then its done and if not, then bake it for next 5 minutes and repeat the same process again.
17. Again mark the impressions over the previous ones with a sharp knife. It will help in absorbing the sugar syrup better.
18. Pour the cooled sugar syrup over the freshly baked hot Basbousa. You will hear a nice sizzling sound.
19. Sugar syrup will completely cover the basbousa with some nice bubbles and sizzling sound.
20. Keep it aside so that basbousa completely absorbs the sugar syrup. For best results give it a standing time of atleast 1.5 hour.
21. Basbousa is ready to serve. Take out diamonds in a plate and Enjoy it either hot or warm. It can be enjoyed cool also.

1. Always keep the oven preheated while making the batter for Basbousa.
2. As soon as the batter is prepared, immediately transfer it to the baking tray and bake it, because if left unattended it will start thickening as it contains semolina that absorbs yogurt and milk very quickly. As a result you will have to add more and more milk, resulting in the disturbed proportions of the ingredients and the taste too.
3. Kindly adjust the baking temperature as per the size and model of your oven, as you know your oven better.
4. If you don’t find the light corn syrup, then don’t panic and add equal quantity of honey instead of it.


The versatile, contemporary styled NTX line is designed with thinner bodies, narrower necks, 14th fret neck joints, and cutaway designs to provide greater comfort and playability for today's steel-string acoustic and electric players. These instruments are perfect for adding nylon string tone to a wide range of musical styles from latin to Jazz, Pop to Rock.
Perfect for playing Latin, Lazz, Pop or Rock, these guitars feel more like a steel-strung acoustic guitar and are ready for anything you can throw at them!
14th Fret Neck Joint
Thinner neck shape like that on a steel string acoustic. The fingerboard measures 48 mm at the nut 57 mm at the joint.
An 80-90 mm body depth and elliptical soundhole deliver a clear, smooth high-end response.
A.R.T. (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) Pickup/Preamp System
Our A.R.T. pickup system is used on a number of our steel string guitars and has received high acclaim for its superb sound quality, incredible dynamics, and outstanding feedback rejection. Our engineers designed the A.R.T. System 61 especially for the NX Series, to faithfully reproduce the tone and dynamics of nylon strings. Combining a number of exclusive technologies, the A.R.T. system affords the NX Series the versality to accommodate an incredible range of playing styles from fingerstyle to pick to percussive flamenco, all while retaining the natural tone of the guitar.
- Newly Developed Contact Pickup
A conventional contact pickup mounted underneath the saddle vibrates freely allowing it to pick up the natural body sound. On the other hand, it can pick up too much body sound resulting in feedback making positioning difficult. By comparison the A.R.T. system used on the NX Series guitars utilizes a multilayer damper in order to absorb excessive vibrations and control feedback. System 61 consists of two pickups mounted on the high and low sides of the guitar, each with its own control to provide the NX Series guitars with flexible tone tailoring.
- Newly Developed Preamp System
Complementing the characteristic warmth and full mid-range tone of the nylon string guitar, the System 61 preamp uses Yamaha's class-leading technology to offer an easily controllable, wide tonal range, making the sound of the NX perfect for any show or playing style.
The preamp offers indivisual volume control for both pickups, delivering a totally natural sound with robust lows and clear highs. A built-in 3-band EQ offers powerful sound shaping while an on-board tuner provides excellent usability during performance.
Bracing of NTX
This bracing design focuses on delivering the best of nylon string tone, it warmth along with excellent response. It produces a well-balanced tone over the instrument's entire range and enables these guitars to accommodate a wide range of playing and musical styles
Available in both natural and unique black finish.

Telugu Exclusive OTT Platform, Aha Video finally opened its account. The OTT Platform has amassed more than eleven million downloads in its stint over one year. It is focusing to bring more and more original content to Telugu audience but is not very successful until now.
However, Aha Video threw a surprise the other day with its Original web series,Kudi Yedamaithe. The web series directed by U-Turn fame Pawan Kumar has got so much of appreciation from the critics (M9.news Review here) and the word of mouth is also very positive.
The web series about the Timeloop concept may not leave the same feeling to everyone due to its inherent nature but would certainly leave a positive impression on everyone. The director has made it with a tinge of intelligence which is like a fresh breeze for Telugu OTT audience in particular.
Moreover, the fact that Kudi Yedamaithe is not another rom-com or comedy entertainer will work more in favor of Aha Video. This will motivate the OTT Platform’s creative team further to push their limits. Hopefully, this will trigger a lot of good content to Telugu audience in coming days.

Crucial RV Tips Every Beginner Should Know
Those of you who love travelling as much as I do will travel basically on just about anything including an RV (recreational vehicle). However, it’s only recently that I decided to travel using a RV and honestly there were so many things that I wish I knew before even considering travelling on one. The trip was amazing but there were also ups and downs due to the fact that I had little to no knowledge related to RV’s. In order to prevent people from making the same mistakes I did, I decided to give some crucial yet simple tips to RV beginners!
1. Take a Small Trip First
It’s best to take a trip that isn’t too far from your home. The reason for this is because new RV’s at times have some things in them that break. If something breaks you won’t be far enough to not be able to ask for help. Also, another reason why you should travel somewhere near your home is in case you need to grab some things you probably thought you didn’t need.
2. Find Free Camping Options
Just because you’re on trip that doesn’t mean you have to spend all your money. There’s always a cheap or even free option to almost anything. Take advantage of any great deal you can find or try searching online first for any free camping options. This was a tip that would’ve come in handy if I had known before spending so much money on camping!
3. Pack Less Stuff
“Whatever you think you need to bring with you, try to eliminate at least one-third of that. We plan on being on the road for as long as we can and we still have plenty of storage space in our RV.
Just remember that the more things you bring, the heavier your RV will be and, therefore, the more gas you will be using. This is another reason why a few smaller trips in the beginning is extremely helpful – you will realize what you need to bring and what can be left behind”. (Source: makingsenseofcents.com).
4. Have a Plan
It’s crucial that for anything that you want to do to plan out everything first. if you plan first there’s a smaller chance of having any difficulties presented while on your trip and even if you do experience certain difficulties, you most likely already planned on what to do. Think about what you’ll need, what your budget is, the gas expenses. food. water, etc.
5. Bring Tools With You
If something suddenly happens you should always be prepared. If something gets damaged don’t just wait for help. Instead bring tools with you so you can try fixing it on your own without relying on anyone. Most of the tools you probably thought you didn’t need are most likely the ones you’ll need the most.

Ever been driven to distraction by the relentless sound of a constantly running toilet? This disconcerting, insistent rush of water is not only disruptive, but it can also play havoc with your water bill and the environment. Fortunately, with a touch of homegrown expertise from Shadrach Plumbing & Cooling, you can navigate your way out of this plumbing predicament.
Read on as Shadrach sheds light on this common household challenge.
What To Do If Your Toilet Is Running Constantly:
Firstly, it’s essential to identify the root of the problem. A running toilet typically results from an issue with either the flapper, the fill valve, or the float. Don’t let these technical terms daunt you! With just a few steps, Shadrach will demystify the entire process.
The flapper, that innocent-looking rubber component at the bottom of your tank, could be your water-wasting culprit. If it doesn’t seal correctly after each flush, water keeps trickling into your toilet bowl, creating that incessant, irksome sound. To inspect it, turn the water supply off and empty your toilet tank by flushing it. If your flapper appears worn out or damaged, it’s time for a quick trip to your local hardware store for a replacement.
But what if your flapper is not the perpetrator? Let’s turn our attention to the fill valve. Over time, debris and mineral deposits can build up in your fill valve, causing a constant flow of water. Thankfully, this issue can usually be remedied by cleaning the fill valve.
However, if your fill valve and flapper are both innocent, the relentless water flow may be due to a faulty float. This clever device maintains the proper water level in the toilet tank. If the float is adjusted to a position that’s too high, the tank will overfill, causing endless running water going into the overflow tube. To rectify this, you just need to adjust the float to a lower level.
Need Professional Help?
Ultimately, the path to a peaceful bathroom and a lower water bill can sometimes be within reach without the need to summon professional help. However, if your toilet has taken on an unwavering symphony of running water, and DIY is not in your wheelhouse, a skilled plumber in Fountain Hills is only a phone call away.
Contact Shadrach Plumbing & Cooling to schedule an appointment with one of our professional plumbers today. We can easily help you to once again have serenity in your sanctuary and halt the haunting sound of a constantly running toilet.

The $183 million BOK Center, due to be completed in September 2008, is both the most awaited and controversial construction project under way in Tulsa today.
The 550,000-SF BOK Center will occupy approximately four city blocks. It will house Tulsa’s existing center sports teams and will be a venue for several new center sports. Assumptions based on the results of the construction of new convention centers in other cities project that after expenses the center would bring revenues of approximately $1.6 million to Tulsa.
Yeah. But how much does it weigh?
“A lot! Sorry, but we don’t have this information,” said Bart Boatright, BOK Center project manager.
Boatright did know, however, how much concrete is needed to complete the center: 122 million pounds. Think 15,250 elephants. So far, 2.7 million pounds have been used in construction.
Eight million pounds, or 4,000 tons, of steel will be used in the center, which will be 120 feet tall from the center floor to the roof. The center itself could hold 7.7 million cubic feet of water, which is nice to know in case someone decides a rendition of a naval battle would bring money into Tulsa.
To begin building the center, more than 13,000 dump truck loads of material were excavated from the construction site to a depth of 20 feet.
After the center’s completion, if everyone who had a hand in the construction were to enjoy together, say, an center football game, they would fill 3,500 of the approximately 18,000 seats planned for the center. ?

Early in the pandemic, my drinking changed. Our 20-something daughter fled New York and moved back home, bringing Brooklyn cocktail culture with her. Mules, Manhattans, margaritas, martinis — my beer-or-wine routine was pleasantly upended. But despite a half century of (mostly) sensible drinking experience, hangovers suddenly became more frequent.
Our family wasn’t drinking alone. During the pandemic, 14 percent of older adults reported drinking more, according to a national survey by University of Michigan researchers. (However, 27 percent drank less, possibly because work-related and social drinking became less frequent.) Of those ages 50 to 80 who do drink, 23 percent downed three or more drinks in a typical session.
That’s unhealthy for anyone. But it’s especially unhealthy for people our age because we can’t process alcohol — or deal with its effects — as well as we used to, says Alexis Kuerbis, an associate professor at Hunter College of the City University of New York, who has studied alcohol and other substance use among older people.
“It’s about age 50 that these biological processes start happening,” she says. Specifically:
- Your body loses muscle, gains fat and carries less water in the bloodstream. Because muscle holds more water than fat, this means there’s less water in an older body. So any alcohol you consume isn’t diluted to the degree it was when you, say, pounded beers in your 20s. Result: a higher blood-alcohol content.
- Your stomach and liver don’t produce as much of the alcohol-digesting enzyme called ADH, which leads to a higher blood-alcohol content that’s sustained longer, even if you’re not drinking any more than you did when you were younger. Women have less ADH than men to start with, which is why they are less able than men to clear alcohol from the body.
- Our ability to perceive the effects of alcohol diminishes after age 50. We’re less able to sense whether our reflexes or balance has been diminished, so we don’t gauge our sobriety as accurately. “Just like our eyesight might fail or hearing might fail, our perceptions are failing,” Kuerbis tells me. “We can’t sense that we’re getting more intoxicated as we age. We think we’re fine.”
But we’re not fine, says George F. Koob, and he should know: At 74, he’s the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. We perceive ourselves as having more tolerance than we really do, and that misperception only increases the more intoxicated we become — so that fourth beer at the barbecue seems to be having little effect. “The body doesn’t pay attention to those signals the way it did the first hour,” Koob explains. Which is why too many of us slide behind the wheel instead of calling an Uber.
Dehydration is a factor in hangovers
And what about my more severe hangovers? Those are partly from dehydration, a common condition among older people, sober or not. (Our sense of thirst, funnily enough, is dulled with age.) Alcohol pulls water from your body, hence my cottonmouth and headache.
I ask Koob if just drinking more water would dilute the alcohol in my system. Nope. “You’re just going to pee more,” he informs me. Staying hydrated may help limit a blood-alcohol surge, he says, but the physiology of aging will prevail. And the old trick of alternating drinks with something non-alcoholic can help you pace yourself, he adds. But that system may indicate you’re still planning on drinking too much in one session and risking harm to your liver.
How much is too much booze?
The old standby maximum of 14 drinks per week for men and seven for women is still a solid guide. But drinking at levels beyond that “accelerates some of the aging process” in the brain, Koob says. Our brains normally start shrinking in middle age, but older people who drink too much show marked loss of volume in the frontal cortex, a 2018 study found.
The frontal cortex controls our executive function, Koob explains. Impulsive and compulsive behavior can be affected and lead to alcohol misuse. It’s a vicious circle: Alcohol misuse can speed up aging, and that aging process can lead to more alcohol misuse.
Koob estimates there are 200 medical conditions that are worsened by alcohol, including the obvious, such as liver disease, as well as some not so obvious, like cancers, especially oral cancers. Others include high blood pressure, immune system disorders, stroke risk and diabetes.
Alcohol even contributes to wrinkles by impairing your skin’s antioxidant defense system.
And the notion that alcohol helps us sleep is bass-ackward — it may make us drowsy, but it wrecks the quality of our sleep.
When to dial back your drinking
I’ve always been healthy and fit, and I kid myself that a little poison can’t hurt me. That’s probably true — in fact, a little can be beneficial to your cardiovascular system. But by pushing the 14-a-week limit at my age, I’m also pushing my luck.
I don’t want any of those problems, so I have joined the ranks of the “sober curious,” a newish term that essentially means being both thoughtful and challenging of your drinking impulses. As a guide, Koob suggests abstaining for a certain period to see how it feels. “If you feel better when you’re not drinking, your body is telling you something.”
Join today and save 43% off the standard annual rate. Get instant access to discounts, programs, services, and the information you need to benefit every area of your life.
It’s true that I sleep better and feel better on mornings after abstaining. My drinking — mostly beer in the summer and wine in cooler months — tends to be mindless and habitual. Which is why the “mindful drinking” movement appeals to me. Make it less of a habit and more of an event. Ideally when I drink, I’ll pause and ponder the intriguing viognier in my glass before raising it to my lips. I’ll savor it.
Rosamund Dean, in her book, Mindful Drinking: How to Break Up With Alcohol, suggests carefully counting how many drinks you have — and noting where, when and why the imbibing happens. There is, she suggests, a middle ground.
“So while we don’t want to give up drinking altogether,” she writes, “we do want to wake up clearheaded because we were able to resist that third glass of wine the night before.”
Sounds like a plan.

Finance Minister says states giving loan waiver have to finance it on their own
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reiterated that the States going in for farm loan waivers will have to generate funds from their own resources.
He was speaking to reporters after a meeting with public sector bank chiefs, where among other things, the situation on bad loans was discussed.
The remark comes in the backdrop of farmers’ agitations over the demand and some States, such as Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh — both Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled — announcing waivers.
There are also demands for waivers in States such as Madhya Pradesh and Haryana (both BJP-ruled), Punjab (Congress-ruled), and Tamil Nadu ( under AIADMK government).
In March, speaking in the Rajya Sabha, he had said: “This issue of loan waiver has cropped up in several States. The Centre has its policies for the agriculture sector, under which we provide interest subvention and other support.
We will continue to give all that. If a State has its own resources and wants to go ahead in that direction, it will have to find its resources. The situation where the Centre will help one State and not the others will not arise.”
On bad loans, Mr. Jaitley said the Reserve Bank of India is at an advanced stage of preparing a list of debtors whose cases will be considered for speedy resolution through the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) process.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the U.S. on June 26
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the U.S. to meet President Donald Trump on June 26, the government announced.
This first interaction is being described as a “no-frills,” business-only visit, aimed at breaking the ice, and building a relationship between the two leaders.
The Prime Minister’s trip has been the subject of speculation for several months since President Trump first invited him over the telephone in January.
Announcing the dates, the Ministry of External Affairs said the discussions will “provide a new direction for deeper bilateral engagement on issues of mutual interest and consolidation of [the] multi-dimensional strategic partnership.”
British election has done little to remove the uncertainty
The British general election has done little to remove the uncertainty facing the business community and Britain’s international partners as it delivered a shock hung Parliament.
The government will in all likelihood be able to get its now to-be-delayed Queen’s Speech through the House of Commons, with the backing of the DUP, with which it is in the midst of agreeing a “confidence and supply” agreement.
This would essentially mean the DUP will support it in any votes of confidence, and on matters relating to government spending and budgets.
However, the business sector remained spooked, with a snap poll of business leaders conducted by the Institute of Directors in the U.K. finding a drop in confidence following the election.
Perhaps the most significant of all for businesses, including the 800-odd Indian firms in Britain, will be the government’s stance on Brexit.
Whether the result will force the government to revisit its plans to deliver on a so-called “hard Brexit”, moving out of the customs union and single market.
French voters have put President Emmanuel Macron's party on course of majority
French voters have put President Emmanuel Macron's party on course for a crushing parliamentary majority, though a record low turnout in the first round of voting raised concerns over the strength of his future mandate.
Projections showed Macron continuing his centrist revolution, with his Republique en Marche party and its ally MoDem tipped to win between 400 and 445 seats in the 577-member National Assembly in next Sunday's second round.
Such a share would give Mr. Macron — who founded his party just a year ago — one of the biggest parliamentary majorities the modern French state has seen.
But government spokesman Christophe Castaner admitted the 49% turnout — the lowest for six decades in such a vote — was “a failure of this election” and that Mr. Macron’s team would need to reach out to those who stayed away.
Former Prime Minister Alain Juppe of the rightwing Republicans said the mass stayaway by voters was a sign of “deep malaise” in the electorate and that a clean sweep by Mr. Macron would be bad for democracy.
Mr. Macron's camp is expected to significantly boost its score in Sunday’s second round with voters fed up with mainstream politics keen to try out his team, half of which is composed of rookie politicians.
::Business and Economy::
Retail inflation lowest since 2012
Retail inflation in May, at 2.18%, eased to its lowest level since the Centre began measuring it on a nationwide basis in 2012, driven in large part by cooling food prices, according to a latest government release.
Separate data showed industrial output expanded by 3.1% in April.
Inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was even slower than the 2.99% seen in April, the previous record low.
Within the index, food and beverages category witnessed a contraction of 0.2% in May, compared with a growth of 1.3% in April.
Growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) was spurred by the manufacturing sector within which the tobacco and the pharmaceuticals sectors grew the fastest.
Inflation in the fuel and light segment in May stood at 5.5%, compared with 6.1% in April.
Inflation in the clothing and footwear segment eased marginally to 4.4% from 4.6% over the same period. The housing segment saw inflation remaining at the same rate of 4.8%.
The RBI is expected to maintain status quo until September 2017 as the inflation for next couple of months is dependent upon turnaround of monsoon, increase in the house rent allowances, implementation of GST and farm loan waivers
The manufacturing sector grew 2.6% in April compared with 2.7% in March, while growth in the mining sector slowed drastically to 4.2%. Electricity output grew 5.4% in April, slower than March’s 6.2%.
The consumer durables segment saw a drastic contraction of 6% in April, from a growth of 13.8% in the same month of the previous year.
The capital goods segment also witnessed a contraction of 1.3%, compared with a growth of 8.1% in April 2016.
Union government wants to defer GST e-way bill
With just a few days left for Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout, the Union government is in favour of postponing by a few months the implementation of the e-way bill, which requires movement of goods above Rs. 50,000 to be pre—registered online.
However, with states unwilling to defer the provision, the GST Council agreed to rope in the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to work along with the GST-Network to assess if an all India e-way bill system can be created in a short timeframe.

Michelle Yeoh Takes Painful Covid-19 Test After She Flies To Sydney For Work
Actress Michelle Yeoh is one of the few Asian actresses to be a household name in the West, thanks to her breaking into Hollywood as a fighting Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies and a gongfu heroine in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Most recently, Singaporeans will remember her as Eleanor Young, the mother-in-law from hell in Crazy Rich Asians.
But even the formidable Eleanor Young is no match for that horrible coronavirus that’s going around the world. Thankfully, she hasn’t gotten it, but it’s surprising enough to see her wincing in pain while getting tested.
Shocking photo of Yeoh looking vulnerable
The Malaysian actress’ latest photo on Instagram may be more shocking than any role that she’s been in on the silver screen.
It shows the woman known for playing a range of tough characters in Hollywood reduced to a wreck, at the mercy of a swab being pushed into her nose by a healthcare worker in protective gear.
Seeing Yeoh in such a vulnerable position must be a shock to fans, who’re more used to seeing her kick butt onscreen.
Even Yeoh herself knows this, that’s why she felt the need to apologise in her caption: “sorry so wimpy!!”
Yeoh went to Sydney for work
Yeoh got tested as she recently went to Sydney for work.
On 17 Jul, she posted a photo of herself in the airport in Paris, where she was isolating with her husband Jean Todt during the pandemic.
She was was very well prepared for the danger of overseas travel during the time of Covid-19 — she wore a face mask, face shield, goggles and a hat.
On 21 Jul, she posted a photo of herself wearing a face shield, saying that she was getting over jet lag in Sydney.
That same day, she posted another photo of herself in full battle gear of face mask, face shiled, googles and hat.
She said that she was still jet lagged, and had drunk some red wine.
She also forewarned fans that she was going to undergo a Covid-19 test, wondering if some may be interested to see how “Emperor Georgiou” — her role in Star Trek: Discovery — and Eleanor Young from Crazy Rich Asians would deal with the very invasive test.
Is Yeoh joining case of Shang-Chi?
The fact that Yeoh is in Sydney for work got netizens speculating that she might be filming the Marvel movie Shang-Chi, the first to have an Asian lead.
It’s worth noting that actor Si Mu Liu, who stars as Shang-Chi, and Awkwafina, who’s also in the movie, replied to her latest post.
It’s also known that Shang-Chi will be filmed in Sydney.
Covid-19 is a serious matter
We think that it’s a good thing that Yeoh posted that photo of herself getting tested for Covid-19.
While it’s surprising that she doesn’t mind letting herself be seen in such a helpless position, it also may convince more people that Covid-19 is serious.
For those who ignore social distancing and mask rules because they think they’re tough and will survive Covid-19, think about it — if even tough-as-nails actress Michelle Yeoh winces at a swab test, how would you fare?
In fact, it’s heartening to see that someone as tough as Yeoh is protecting herself so well.
Thus, to spare yourself and your loved ones the pain of the disease, please be mindful of the current measures.

Battle of Britain London Monument – F/O J W Cutts THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN LONDON MONUMENT "Never in the field of human
conflict was so much owed
by so many to so few." Contact Information How to Contribute Latest News Home
Privacy Statement The Airmen’s Stories – F/O J W Cutts
John Wintringham Cutts of Felpham, Sussex, joined the RAF in April 1938 on a short service commission. He was with 222 Squadron in July 1940.
On the 25th he made a forced-landing four miles north of Kirton-in-Lindsey after a combat with a He111 off Mabelthorpe.
The squadron moved to Hornchurch on 29th August and on the 30th Cutts shared in the destruction of a He111. On 4th September Cutts was shot down by Me109’s over Maidstone. His Spitfire, ZD-D X4278, crashed and burned out on Amberfield Farm, Chart Sutton and Cutts was reported ‘Missing’.
He was 20 years old and is remembered on the Runnymede Memorial, Panel 5.
In the summer of 1972 Cutts crash site was excavated but no human remains were found. Then in 1999 from a reappraisal of written records it was discovered that the body of an unknown airman had been discovered at Amberley (sic) Farm on 14th September 1940 and buried as such in Sittingbourne cemetery on 28th September. The evidence was strong enough for the authorities to erect a new headstone bearing Cutts name.

You would think with all the hype and all of the posts that I have devoted to Pearl Jam lately, that I would be listening to the new cd non-stop. You would think wrong. For one thing, I still haven’t received my pre-ordered cd in the mail. I’m starting to get a little bit pissed off about that, but that’s not why I’m not listening to them. I did take advantage of the free download so I have the tracks.
The real reason I’m not listening to my beloved Pearl Jam is that after hearing Katherine McPhee’s rendition of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on AI the other night I can’t stop listening to K.T. Tunstall. I discovered her a while back and immediately downloaded her cd through Rhapsody. I listened to her non-stop for a couple of weeks until I finally had gotten my fill and could move on to other music.
K.T. Tunstall’s voice is so soothing to me. With all of the things going on in my life lately and the mood I have been in, listening to her just reaches in and warms me in ways that I can’t really explain. I haven’t felt this way about a female singer since I first discovered Sarah McLachlan way back in high school (Thanks again, Manuel!). She just does something for me. She makes me feel when I would prefer to be numb.

Meow’s Taxi Service has been providing door-to-door service in and around Bangkok for over a decade. The company has a great track record with foreign and Thai customers. At the same time they charge very reasonable rates that do not seem to have gone up even in this age of inflation.
There are a lot of taxi drivers in Thailand. Especially in Bangkok. I don’t know if anyone even has an accurate count of all the marked and unmarked private cars in the capital city. The number must be over over hundred thousand. Some are easier to work with than others.
Anyone can fly into Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airport, get in the Taxi queue, and be in a metered taxi taking them anywhere in Thailand. But that is not necessarily the best choice even if I have been known to go that route on occasion. Meow’s offers a superior service at a lower cost.
Meow’s taxis and drivers
Meow’s Taxi Service employs a lot of female drivers who are available upon request. This can be good for solo female travelers who might not feel comfortable with a male driver. It is also good for guys like me who simply prefer the company of females.
Of course these hard working women are strictly taxi drivers. This service is decidedly not adult oriented like the old VIP bus from the Devil’s Den! But it is very good nonetheless.
Arrival at either of Bangkok’s airports can be stressful and problematic. It’s not unusual for flights to be delayed. Or more commonly to run into very long lines at immigration. But the drivers who work with Meow will monitor flight statuses and wait for their customers to arrive.
The drivers who work with Meow are also a very well mannered bunch. In my experience they drive safely and either at or under the posted speed limit. They fuel up their cars before traveling so they do not have to stop for gas in the middle of a trip. Nor do they stop for things like smoking a cigarette. Of course they will gladly stop their well maintained Toyota Camry’s for a snack or anything else upon request from a customer.
Prices, services and summary
Meow’s has some of the best prices around. The approximately 90 minute trip from BKK airport to Pattaya is just 1100 Baht ($32 USD). The price from lower Sukhumvit to Pattaya is about the same. For example a trip from Soi 8 to Central Pattaya costs 1200 Baht and includes the cost of tolls.
The price for a taxi to Pattaya from DMK is slightly higher but still quite reasonable at 1400 Baht ($40 USD). Trips to other parts of the country are also easy to arrange and similarly fair priced. The same goes for return trips. For example the Pattaya to BKK route is 1100 Baht. Some other taxis charge different amounts depending on the direction of travel.
Meow’s airport pickup service is well run and trustworthy. Meow has one lady wait inside the terminal with the name of the customer. Once the customer arrives that lady contacts the driver outside and directs them to meet. This makes things easy and eliminates any possible confusion.
Vehicles are kept clean and stocked with clean bottled drinking water and tissues. This is a nice touch. Most driver’s seem able to speak at least some English. And their phone numbers as well as Meow’s are providing with booking confirmation in the off chance that any sort of problem would arise.
Booking a trip with Meow’s Taxi Service is easy. As far as I know Meow’s Taxi service does not have an official website. But these days that is not really necessary anyway. Meow is always quick to respond to any message sent via email or through the LINE app. Bookings can and should be made as far in advance as possible. This makes things easier on all parties involved.
There are many taxi drivers in Thailand. Some will take advantage of tourists. In some areas like Patpong this has become notorious. Meow’s offers a reliable service that can be counted on. Plus they offer it at one of the lowest rates to be found. With over a decade in business their reputation is impeccable. Four-and-a-half stars.

Was fascinated to read about the old VIP bus from Devilsden, who I sadly see have not re-opened since the pandemic. I imagine it was one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences.
Is there any similar service running nowadays in Thailand, Bangkok or Pattaya, airports?
As far as I know there are no other places doing anything like the VIP bus at the Devil’s Den. Cheers.
Trev at Buzzin Pattaya wanted to launch a similar service as Devils Dens, dont know if it was any demand and if its still running.
I could write a book about terrible taxi experiences in Thailand. The last couple of trips to Pattaya I used AOT Limo from the airport. No hassel, you are on your way literally in 5 minutes time, bigger and better cars, polite drivers (no “talkers”) no scams or reckless driving. After a long haul flight I am happy to pay the extra cost.
Right on Alex S taxi troubles are legion! I’ve been kicked to the kerb by crappy taxis who didn’t like that I didn’t want their 250b special tour rather than the 30b short ride to the mall we had already negotiated.
A taxidriver tried to scam me with a towel over the meter when we had a fixed price to Pattaya. One driver left me at a rest-stop for 30 minutes when he went to lunch?Another did Suv-Pats in 50-55 minutes, 140 km/h most of the time and I feared for my life. I have dealt with the taxi-maffia in many cities (interesting conversations). But once from Suv I had a terrible “talker”, no bounderies and I pretended to fall a sleep after a while. I have experienced drivers who were lost? and others who pretended to be lost to run up the meter. I have taken taxis that looked like temples. But of course I have met ok drivers as well. Cheers Jack.
Meow’s Taxi can also be reached on WhatsApp. FYI.
Thanks for the comment Steve. Cheers.


CES 2014: 12″ Samsung Note Pro + KitKat Unveiled
|Samsung, always a big player at CES, has just unveiled the Galaxy Note Pro – at 12.2 inches, its display is larger than the 10″ Galaxy Note 2014 ed. predecessor.
The massive WQXGA screen sports an impressive resolution of 2,560 X 1,600 (same as 10.1″ Note), choice of 1.9GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor / 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU depending on WiFi or 3G/ 4G versions.
The Koreans, currently the king of Android tablets, believe the new 12″ Note will open up a new segment in the already saturated tab market, reports SamMobile.
Note Pro will run Android’s newest KitKat 4.4 OS – a first for a Samsung Note, which has proved hugely popular with consumers and enterprise users alike.
Other specs of the Note include an 8-MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, a large 9500mAh battery and 3GB RAM and a stylus S pen to draw and take notes on the screen.
Samsung has also just announced a very similar 12.2 Tab Pro, more on that later.

CYSO is off to Europe! Follow along as students from our Social Media Team share their experiences as part of CYSO’s 2022 Tour of Berlin, Leipzig, Prague, & Vienna. Up first, cellist Matthew Jordan shares what he’s excited to see, hear, and eat while exploring Europe.
“Where on earth is my rockstop?” This was me a few days ago, and it was the exact moment I realized that my packing skills were in need of some serious improvement. I have never been particularly good at packing. I don’t travel too often, and so the lack of practice may explain my ability to forget something as simple as socks. My ailment has been worsened by the COVID pandemic, with the last time I travelled internationally being in the summer of 2019 when
I strolled through the streets of Barcelona and got dizzy every time I stepped on a boat in Venice.
Three years later, I now have the opportunity to visit and perform in cities with an astonishing amount of musical history. In my aforementioned trip to Italy, I was fortunate enough to have been able to visit the church which Antonio Vivaldi attended as a child and hear a wonderful performance of his Four Seasons. Soon, I will be a part of something even more impressive: a ten day tour through some of the most culturally rich cities in Europe with performances in a few of the world’s finest concert halls. Ranging from Leipzig and its Gewandhaus where Felix Mendelssohn tenured as music director and conductor, to where Antonín Dvořák conducted the premier concert at the Rudolfinum in Prague, this trip is sure to be full of excitement, wonder, and a bit of anxiety.
It is my understanding that European audiences are very enthusiastic about hearing both their own music, as well as listening to Americans playing American music. If this is the case, then our repertoire should be as exciting to concertgoers as it is to us. From playing Gustav Mahler’s Titan Symphony No. 1 in his home country, to shouting “Yee-haw!” as loud as humanly possible during Aaron Copeland’s Hoedown, everyone involved should have something to look forward to.
Even more excited than the members of the orchestra are likely the shadow tour participants, which includes my parents. I asked them what they were most excited for and to no surprise they both said to listen to us play, but they also said they wanted to take some time and relax and immerse themselves in the culture. My father in particular said he was “dying” to see the Brandenburg Gate along with other historical monuments. I personally want to have authentic bratwurst and strudel as well as visit the Prague Castle.
I hope to make the most of this amazing opportunity, form friendships along the way, and create memories with the rest of this incredible orchestra alongside me. We will see you when we return!
ABOUT MATTHEW JORDAN

He also participates in CYSO’s Chamber Program, and performed in local public schools as a CYSO Ambassador in 2020.

There are tons of ways men can screw a woman over, even if unintentionally. They are exceptionally talented at it sometimes. But one of the least-addressed is when men simply sit too long on the emotional fence, wasting precious years of their partner’s time before ultimately heading for the door.
And they often leave for reasons that they’ve felt for a long time, but have hid simply because they’re hard to bring up. I call them the Time Bandits. They rob their partners of life’s most precious resource (Time). The video below explains the truth on why it’s really the women’s fault for letting men waste their time.

Living Cities Announces "Year of Reckoning" Work in Cities Across the Nation
City Leaders Across Sectors will Engage in Anti-Racist Practices Over the Next Decade to Close Racial Income and Wealth Gaps
25 Feb, 2021, 11:32 ET
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn and ongoing racial unrest are evidence that the United States needs a historical reckoning to understand how a history of inequity has led us to the current state of affairs. Living Cities, in partnership with the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, Third Space Action Lab, Gumbo Media, and others, is engaging six cities--Albuquerque, NM; Austin, TX; Memphis, TN; Minneapolis, MN; Rochester, NY; and Saint Paul, MN--in a "Year of Reckoning" as part of its Closing the Gaps Network. Through their work, local government leaders will come together with the philanthropic, private, and non-profit sectors to reckon with the history of systemic racism, develop shared language and analysis, and commit to being accountable to low-income communities of color. The first convening of city leaders was held in November 2020.
The participating cities have made a profound 10-year commitment to racial equity at all levels and will work intensively over the next decade to reckon with the role local government has played and continues to play in creating inequities and to chart a new path forward. Together, they will work to understand what it takes to undo racism in government policy and practice. Through a curriculum supporting deep analysis of history, city leaders are reckoning with what it will take to heal, reconcile, and build transformational relationships with Black, Brown and Indigenous communities most impacted by local government decisions.
"For years, we purposely set back generations of people of color in Austin. We must fix our actions, stop the ongoing harm and heal this city. A Year of Reckoning gives us that opportunity," said Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, TX.
During the Year of Reckoning, cities will be supported in:
- Organizing cross-department teams to understand how public servants can advance racial equity and inclusion as individuals, in their roles, and as key actors within systems;
- Analyzing how local government operations, practices, and policies impact people of color;
- Developing an understanding of what it will take to reconcile and heal the undue harm done to Black, Brown and Indigenous communities;
- With cross-sector leaders, taking meaningful steps towards articulating shared results and creating power-sharing structures;
- Developing racial equity action plans that will ultimately engage all departments; and
- Creating and strengthening accountability mechanisms, primarily with low-income communities of color.
"Amid the many crises communities across our nation continue to face, our national reckoning on race and racism requires all of us to engage in building a more equitable future," said Saint Paul, Minnesota Mayor Melvin Carter. "Alongside fellow cities in the Closing the Gap Network, our Year of Reckoning efforts will help chart a path forward toward realizing this vision."
As part of the "Year of Reckoning," cities will select practice areas to test strategies that show promise for closing racial gaps, such as ensuring that people have access to safe and quality housing, living wage jobs, and comprehensive opportunities for health & well-being. The Year of Reckoning is the foundational experience of Living Cities' Closing the Gaps Network, which brings together city leaders who are committed to imagining what an anti-racist society might look like, and playing an important role in building it through transforming government policies, practices, and operations.
