Kurimanzutto | MAFF Gallery Spotlight
On this episode of Gallery Spotlight, we check out Kurimanzutto in Mexico City, Mexico. Kurimanzutto is a gallery in CDMX founded by local art dealers, Mónica Manzutto and José Kuri. Here, local artist and publisher, Damián Ortega, introduces us to the rare drawings of Sergei Einstein exhibited today. Sergei Einsenstein was a Soviet film director and theorist, a pioneer in the practice of montage. He is most known for his films such as Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible. Einstein had a special connection to Mexico, where he spent ~14 months, discovering the beautiful lands. He felt his imagination sprouted once arriving and was on a mission to explore new ways of carrying out its function. He managed to synthesize a series of ideas and aesthetic experiences of Mexican culture and translated them into cinematographic language.

Scott Avery's performance piece is only for the brave of heart. Participants are hooked up to an antique lie detector and filmed answering questions that would make anyone squirm like, "Have you ever slept with someone to get ahead in your career?" and, "Do you think Spike Lee is racist?" in front of a crowd of strangers. For $100, you can purchase your test results, but the true work is in the act of truth-telling itself.

Get in the Halloween spirit, and discover who among your friends is a hidden werewolf, in this quick deduction game – One Night Ultimate Werewolf.
Designer: Ted Alspach & Akihisa Okui
Artist: Gus Batts
Publisher: Bezier Games
Genre: Deduction, Hidden Roles
Play Time: 10 Minutes
Number of Logged Plays: 24+
In One Night Ultimate Werewolf players work to figure out who is a werewolf that caused some chaos the night before in the quiet village. The whole game takes place over one night, and players will get the opportunity to figure out who the werewolves are the morning after. Narration can be done by a player, but there’s an excellent free app that will narrate the whole night and tell players when to take their actions.
Before players start the game, they will select what roles they want in the game, which will always include two werewolves. The other roles will be a mix of villagers and special roles that can do unique actions during the night phase. The number of roles selected will always be the number of players plus three. If players are new to the game, the manual suggests a couple different setups based on the number of players.
The corresponding role cards selected to be in the game are gathered up and randomly given to players. Role cards are face down and each player views their role. The remaining three role cards are placed in the middle face down to add some mystery as to what roles are actually held by the players.
Once everyone has looked at their role card, the player running the app can start the game. The app will instruct players to close their eyes and go through the whole “Night” phase, which has certain roles “waking up” and performing actions.
Once the “Night” phase is over, the “Day” phase will begin, which is where players will discuss what they did and who they think the werewolves are. During this phase, players can say whatever they want, but they are not allowed to show their card to anyone or look at themselves. Once the “Day” phase ends (timer set in the app), players will vote on who should die. The player with the most votes will suffer a horrible death, and if there is a tie, then all tied players will suffer that same fate.
All players will then reveal their cards. If a werewolf dies, the village team wins. If a villager dies, the werewolves win. Whatever card the player ends up with when they are flipped over will determine their team. It doesn’t matter what role they started off with, only what role they ended up with
In One Night Ultimate Werewolf each player will get one of the following roles and perform the corresponding action during the night phase:
- Doppelganger (Recommended with more experienced players): The Doppelganger will look at another player’s card and becomes the role that they looked at. The Doppelganger will do the following based on what role she becomes:
- Villager, Tanner, or Hunter: She is now on the village team and does nothing else for the rest of the night.
- Werewolf or Mason: She wakes up with the other werewolves or masons during their night phase.
- Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, or Drunk: She immediately does the corresponding role and does not wake up when that role is called.
- Minion: At the end of the Doppelganger phase, she’ll keep her eyes open and the werewolves will be told to put their thumbs up.
- Insomniac: After the normal Insomniac phase, the Doppelganger will get a “Doppelganger Insomniac” phase where she will perform the Insomniac action.
- Werewolf (Werewolf Team): The villain of our story. All werewolves wake up and open their eyes to see who else is on their team. If there is only one werewolf and players are using the “Lone Wolf” option then they can look at one of the three center cards.
- Minion (Werewolf Team): The human sympathizer who wants the werewolves to continue causing chaos in the village. During the Minion phase, the werewolves will put their thumbs up to let the minion see who they are. The werewolves will not know who the minion is. If the Minion dies and no werewolves die, the werewolf team wins. If there are no werewolves, the Minion wins if they don’t get killed.
- Masons (Village Team): The bros of the village who always stick together. The Masons wake up and look for the other mason.
- Seer (Village Team): The town fortune teller.The Seer may look at another player’s card or look at two of the center cards.
- Robber (Village Team): The village’s friendly identity thief that takes advantage of this chaotic situation. The Robber can swap their card with another player’s card. The Robber then looks at that card and becomes that role. He does not wake up during his new roles’ phase.
- Troublemaker (Village Team): Some people just want to see the village in disarray. The Troublemaker can swap two other players cards. She does not get to look at the cards she is swapping. The players who got their cards swapped are now the roles on their new card.
- Drunk (Village Team): The town drunk is just looking for a good time. Unfortunately, he had a little too much and blacked out for the night. The Drunk swaps their card with a card from the center, but does not get to look at their new card. The new card they received determines what team they’re on at the end of the game.
- Insomniac (Village Team): Who needs sleep anyways, right? The Insomniac wakes up and looks at her card to see if it has changed. The card in front of them determines what team they’re on at the end of the game.
- Villager (Village Team): Your everyday civilian. The Villager does not wake up at night and has no special abilities.
- Tanner (Their Own Team): Sometimes you just really hate your job, so what better way than to try to get yourself killed amidst the chaos? The Tanner is on neither the werewolf or village team. The only way that they win is by being the one that dies at the end of the game.
- Hunter (Village Team): The guy that will take you down with him. If the Hunter dies, then the player that they voted for also dies.
The phone app will tell players to wake up in the following order listed above. If there are any roles that aren’t in the game, they’ll be skipped. After all the night actions are performed, all players will wake up for the “Day” phase and the deduction portion of the game begins. At the end of that phase, players will cast their final votes and the player who receives the majority of the votes is killed.
With more games these days utilizing applications, One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a shining example of this implementation. With the help of the app, this game has quickly become a mainstay in our game group because it’s so quick to play and is always a blast. Since the application drives everything, it’s pretty easy to give a brief overview of how the game works and let newer players know that the app will tell them exactly what to do as long as they remember their role.
We’ve typically played this game with different groups of 6-8 players and it’s been a huge success with each group. At first, we played games with the recommended amount of villagers, but found out quickly that repeatedly getting that role gets pretty boring. But the more villagers you take out, the more of an advantage the village team gets. Since most roles give players more information, it can be difficult as a werewolf to come up with a good lie about what role they are pretending to be if there aren’t any villagers. I think this is really only a problem for newer players since they aren’t quite as familiar with the game yet to weave a solid tale to convince players of their innocence.
The amount of chaos all the special roles can create in the game is one of my favorite parts. It creates some great moments when someone thinks they’re one role, but they turn out to be a completely different one. We had a game where a friend started off as a werewolf and didn’t quite follow everything that happened that closely, and ended up assisting the werewolves in their victory. The look of excitement on his face went away once he flipped over his card and saw that he was now the robber. On the other hand, it’s also really exciting to find out your deduction skills were on point and you know exactly who the werewolf is.
I will say that this game might not go over well with people who feel like it’s too random. The main reason for this is not knowing what role you’ve ended up with if you don’t have enough information. On top of that, you’ll have to believe that the information someone is providing is the truth. This isn’t unlike any other deduction game, but the major difference is that the game takes place over ten minutes representing one “night” rather than multiple rounds for you to gather information. So the strategy is going to be a bit different since you’ll have to be a bit more aggressive and know what questions to ask a person when they claim something.
One thing I liked to do is to claim a role that I’m not and say I did something to see if anyone else disputes me. This usually works to get some discussion started on what else people did and to see if anyone else will dispute the claim. So the strategy is there, but which ones work will depend on the group you’re playing with and how convincing you are.
Overall, I think One Night Ultimate Werewolf is one of the best party games you can buy. The amount of plays and stories we’ve gotten out of this game for only $15 is pretty insane. We’ve tried other social deduction games in the past like the Resistance: Avalon and it just kind of fell flat for us. I think the biggest draw for me with this game versus similar games is how quick each round is. So if you make a mistake in the game it’ll be over in a matter of minutes and a new game will begin soon after. It’s kind of like the movie Edge of Tomorrow where you can learn from your mistakes playing as a werewolf or figure out ways to draw the werewolf out from game to game. It might not be for everyone, but you should at least give it a try if you’re at all interested in a social deduction game.
If you’re looking for a quick game that plays well in large groups, look no further than One Night Ultimate Werewolf. We’ve played this games more times than we can even count, and have always had a great time playing it.
In this game, there’s a bit of a catch 22 – being a simple Villager is incredibly boring because you do nothing, but if you take them all out of the game, it makes it virtually impossible for the werewolves to ever win.
Whenever I have been the werewolf, I’ve found that when we eliminated the Villager as one of the roles, it’s really hard to win. You end up with a situation where two people are claiming to be the same role. While this does make the game interesting, it’s very hard for someone to win as the werewolf because there are more layers to the lie. You have to also say what you did as that other role, and that can be hard to come up with on the spot. I’ve found that when I know I’m the werewolf, I try to think in advance what role would be easiest to pretend to be. I also try to listen to see when I can hear someone doing things during the assigned time at night.
I personally find being the werewolf incredibly stressful. It’s fun, don’t get me wrong, but I definitely prefer not being one and trying to figure out who is the werewolf. I can remember a few games where I pretended to be a role like the Robber, and then had to make up more lies about what I did when it was my turn to wake up. It gets even more complicated if you jump the gun and someone else really is the Robber.
One of the best things about this game is that everything is explained to you via an app on your phone. It tells you exactly what each role is supposed to do, and you pick it all up really quick. It’s not a tough game to learn at all. There are a few roles that are initially confusing, but you get the hang of the whole game pretty quickly. There’s also music that adds to the ambiance, unless you pick one of the weird song choices that are just a bit to jazzy for the feel of the game.
What I have discovered from games like these is how bad of a liar I am. I have very obvious tells that I have to try to curb when I play this game. And this is often the case with some of our other friends as well. But it’s what makes this game so entertaining. Sometimes I’m surprised by how great someone is at lying, and other times it’s really fun to just call someone out in the middle of their lie and watch them try to cover their butt. This game offers so many different experiences.
Overall, One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a super fun group game that can be played multiple times in a row. We often play it 10-20 times in one night, and rarely get sick of it. It may not be for everyone though. Some people don’t like the tension associated with lying your way through a game, and also having to accuse others of being a liar. But I personally love this game and find it entertaining every time we play it.
-Quick to play
-Easy to learn for new players
-App is excellent
-Lots of different role combinations to try
-Plays well with a lot of players
– Great party game
-Being a plain old villager can be boring
-Can be difficult being the werewolf as a newer player
-Can be unbalanced depending on roles selected
He gives this game 10 Villagers out of 10.
She gives this game 9.5 Werewolves out of 10.

Bond, who has previously had long spells with Barrow, Colchester and Fylde, joins from Matlock Town.
Jones, meanwhile, has been snapped up on loan from Stoke.
Gavin Cowan, whose charges are going to Darlington tomorrow, said earlier this week that he was hoping to bring in some fresh faces, with Brendon Daniels, Henry Cowans and Courtney Meppen-Walters out.
And 34-year-old Bond brings a wealth of experience, having also played for Chester, Stevenage, Crawley, Chorley and York.
Jones, conversely, comes in to test himself in National League North from Stoke's under-23s.
Telford said on the signings: "Everyone at AFC Telford would like to welcome Eddie and Andy to the club.
"Both players will be available for the fixture at Darlington subject to clearance from the National League and FA."
Meanwhile, the Bucks are one of nine National League clubs to have released a joint statement calling for the resignation of National League chairman Brian Barwick over the allocation of the £10m government rescue package.
They want 'an independent panel to be appointed to review this matter transparently and objectively'.
Fylde, Chester, Dulwich Hamlet, Hereford, Kidderminster, Maidstone, Dorking and Chesterfield are the other clubs involved.
The statement read: "We were disappointed to learn two weeks ago that the National League had allocated these funds based on a subjective judgement of club's needs and not based on lost gate receipts.
"Despite rumours of matters being discussed at sub-committee level of the National League we have received no meaningful communication regarding our request for an independent panel review of the allocation.
"This is an indefensible continuation of apparent disregard for the justified concerns we raise and it is for these reasons we are left with no option other than to immediately call for National League chairman Brian Barwick to resign and an independent panel to be appointed to review this matter transparently and objectively.”

Most pregnancies last 37 to 42 weeks, but some take longer. If your pregnancy lasts more than 42 weeks, it is called post-term (past due). This happens in a small number of pregnancies. While there are some risks in a post-term pregnancy, most post-term babies are born healthy.
Can you go over 42 weeks pregnant?
There’s a higher risk of stillbirth if you go over 42 weeks pregnant, although most babies remain healthy. At the moment, there’s no way to reliably predict which babies are at increased risk of stillbirth, so induction is offered to all women who don’t go into labour by 42 weeks.
What causes a baby to be overdue?
The reason why the baby is overdue is usually not known. Sometimes it is because of a genetic predisposition (hereditary). Women who have already had a baby that came much later than their due date are more likely to have an overdue baby in future pregnancies. Being born after the 40th week only rarely harms the child.
How long will they let you go overdue in pregnancy?
The dangers of going past your due date
Most doctors and midwives are happy for you to go a few days over your due date as long as everything seems to be okay. Many will let pregnant women go up to two weeks over. After 42 weeks, however, the baby’s health might be at risk.
What happens if you go past 40 weeks pregnant?
And stillbirth, though still rare, becomes a concern: At 40 weeks, the risk is 2 to 3 per 1,000 babies; at 42 weeks, it’s 4 to 7 per 1,000. If labor hasn’t started spontaneously, you’ll probably be induced at 41 weeks—at the latest.
What’s the longest a woman has been pregnant?
But other doctors at Los Angeles’ Methodist Hospital found it incredible that Mrs. Hunter had been pregnant 375 days (instead of the normal 280) before her baby was born there last week; 375 days would be the longest pregnancy on record, topping the runner-up by about 58 days.
Is pregnancy 40 or 42 weeks?
Pregnancy is considered to be “full-term” at 40 weeks (or 280 days). A pregnancy that continues for longer than 42 weeks is called a post-term, prolonged or overdue pregnancy.
Is first baby usually late?
First babies are less likely to be “on time” at 39 weeks, and more likely to be a little late, between 41 and 43 weeks. Among full-term pregnancies, first babies are born about 1.3 days later on average. But the average doesn’t tell the whole story.
What is silent labor?
It’s thought that their womb (uterus) contracts so painlessly that they don’t feel the contractions in the first stage of labour at all. If this happens to you, the first clue that your baby is on his way may only come as you enter your second stage of labour.
What if there is no labor pain?
Most babies are born within a few weeks of their due date. If you find yourself nearing the end of your estimated due date window with no signs of labor, there may be actions you can take to help nudge your baby into the world. Before doing so, you should always consult with your doctor or midwife.
What are the signs of an overdue baby?
A drop in the level of amniotic fluid — the liquid that surrounds and protects your growing baby. Fetal distress — a slowed heartbeat and other signs the baby is in trouble. Breathing in the first bowel movement (meconium) Need for a cesarean section (C-section) or forceps delivery because the baby is big.
What week is OK to give birth?
In general, infants that are born very early are not considered to be viable until after 24 weeks gestation. This means that if you give birth to an infant before they are 24 weeks old, their chance of surviving is usually less than 50 percent. Some infants are born before 24 weeks gestation and do survive.
Does sleeping a lot delay labor?
Results: Controlling for infant birth weight, women who slept less than 6 hours at night had longer labors and were 4.5 times more likely to have cesarean deliveries. Women with severely disrupted sleep had longer labors and were 5.2 times more likely to have cesarean deliveries.
Should I get induced at 40 weeks?
When a woman and her fetus are healthy, induction should not be done before 39 weeks. Babies born at or after 39 weeks have the best chance at healthy outcomes compared with babies born before 39 weeks. When the health of a woman or her fetus is at risk, induction before 39 weeks may be recommended.
How can I go into labor tonight?
Natural ways to induce labor
- Get moving. Movement may help start labor. …
- Have sex. Sex is often recommended for getting labor started. …
- Try to relax. …
- Eat something spicy. …
- Down a little castor oil. …
- Schedule an acupuncture session. …
- Ask your doctor to strip your membranes. …
- Go herbal.
Is induced labor more painful than natural?
An induced labour can be more painful than a natural labour. In natural labour, the contractions build up slowly, but in induced labour they can start more quickly and be stronger. Because the labour can be more painful, you are more likely to want some type of pain relief.

TORONTO, Nov. 12 /CNW/ - The City of Toronto has launched an international architectural competition to find the best design for a new, vibrant North Building in the iconic St. Lawrence Market Complex. As part of the official kickoff, Mayor David Miller and Councillor Pam McConnell (Ward 28 Toronto Centre-Rosedale) today released the Competition Brief - a formal set of submission requirements and site and design criteria for architects vying for the winning design.
"We're looking for the best creative minds in architecture to replace the underused, single-storey North Market building with a new four-storey, multi-purpose facility that will be a model for sustainable design, energy efficiency and design excellence," said Mayor David Miller. "The challenge for architectural teams is to come forward with a forward-thinking design that is also mindful of the character and heritage of the St. Lawrence Market and surrounding neighbourhood."
The new North Building will continue to host the successful Saturday Farmers' Market and Sunday Antique Market. Space for court rooms and administrative offices for Toronto Court Services and a 250-space underground parking garage will also be part of the new building.
The St. Lawrence Market Complex, consisting of St. Lawrence Hall and the South and North market buildings, has served for over 200 years as the City's social centre and premier marketplace, and even as a City Hall. The North Building at 92 Front St. E. no longer meets the needs of market vendors, shoppers and the community, due to its lack of building amenities. The strategy to redevelop the North Building property was approved by Toronto City Council in November 2008.
"One of Toronto's greatest landmarks and long-standing traditions is about to get better," said Councillor McConnell. "With the South Market consistently ranked as one of the best markets in the world, this design competition for a new North Market building is a major milestone that further enhances the entire St. Lawrence Market Complex as a thriving hub for activity and prosperity. The City of Toronto is inviting all architects to compete with a design that fits the City's vision for this property."
The St. Lawrence Market North Building Design Competition is a two-stage process. In stage one, eligible architects are invited to submit an 'Expression of Interest' and a qualified team of City staff and a Professional Advisor to the Competition will select a short list of architectural teams to advance to the next stage. In stage two, a jury will evaluate the design submissions developed by the short-listed teams, and the competition will end in June 2010 when a winning design is announced.
The new building is expected to be completed and operating in 2014.

Toronto is Canada's largest city and sixth largest government, and home to a diverse population of about 2.6 million people. It is the economic engine of Canada and one of the greenest and most creative cities in North America. Toronto has won numerous awards for quality, innovation and efficiency in delivering public services. 2009 marks the 175th anniversary of Toronto's incorporation as a city. Toronto's government is dedicated to prosperity, opportunity and liveability for all its residents.

The body’s BMR accounts for the largest amount of energy expended daily (50–80 per cent of your daily energy use).
What percent of food energy is spent on basal metabolism?
The basal metabolic rate accounts for most of our energy needs, about 60-75% of total energy expenditure. Because different tissues use varying amounts of energy, the BMR is influenced by the amounts of lean body mass, mostly muscle, in the body. Higher BMR levels result from greater levels of lean body mass.
What is basal metabolism energy used for?
Basal Metabolism Rate and Weight
It is the rate of one’s metabolism when waking in the morning after “fasting” during sleep. The BMR is enough energy for the brain and central nervous system, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, muscles, sex organs, and skin to function properly.
How many calories does basal metabolism burn?
A small past study shows that the majority of differences between any two people’s basal metabolic rate comes down to fat mass and free-fat mass, which includes organ size and muscle levels. At rest, a pound of fat burns roughly two calories per day and a pound of muscle burns roughly six calories, Dr. Church says.
How does basal metabolic rate affect energy requirements?
Abstract. Energy expenditure, and therefore energy requirement, generally decreases with advancing age because of a decrease in basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity. … Both effects involve an increase in the total EE with an increased level of physical activity.
When is basal metabolism at its highest rate?
During infancy, childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy, basal metabolism increases as FFM increases.
What increases basal metabolism?
Regular exercise increases muscle mass and teaches the body to burn kilojoules at a faster rate, even when at rest. Drugs – like caffeine or nicotine, can increase the BMR. Dietary deficiencies – for example, a diet low in iodine reduces thyroid function and slows the metabolism.
How important is metabolic age?
Metabolic age is more of a fitness term than a medical one. It’s a way to compare your basal metabolic rate (BMR) to other people your age. It can offer a general idea of your metabolism so you can take steps to manage weight and improve health.
How do I know my metabolism type?
Metabolism is measured by determining how much oxygen your body consumes over a specific amount of time. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a measure of the calories needed to sustain basic body functions at rest, such as breathing, circulation and kidney function.
What is metabolism activity?
Metabolism is a balancing act involving two kinds of activities that go on at the same time: building up body tissues and energy stores (called anabolism) breaking down body tissues and energy stores to get more fuel for body functions (called catabolism)
What happens if you eat less than your BMR?
1. It Can Lower Your Metabolism. Regularly eating fewer calories than your body needs can cause your metabolism to slow down.
How do I calculate how many calories I burn a day?
Calculating daily calorie burn
- For men: 66 + (6.2 x weight) + (12.7 x height) – (6.76 x age)
- For women: 655.1 + (4.35 x weight) + (4.7 x height) – (4.7 x age)
What is the formula to calculate BMR?
There are 2 formulae used to calculate BMR, in [kcal / 24hrs] for men and women respectively:
- BMR for Men = 66.47 + (13.75 * weight [kg]) + (5.003 * size [cm]) − (6.755 * age [years])
- BMR for Women = 655.1 + (9.563 * weight [kg]) + (1.85 * size [cm]) − (4.676 * age [years])
What is the lowest BMR possible?
The lowest sleeping metabolic rate (measured for 60 min) has been reported to be 88% of BMR (Goldberg et al, 1988). They also reported that overnight energy expenditure measured over 8.5h was 95% of BMR in the same subjects (Goldberg et al, 1988).
What does BMR mean?
resting metabolic rate. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is often used interchangeably with resting metabolic rate (RMR). While BMR is a minimum number of calories required for basic functions at rest, RMR — also called resting energy expenditure (REE) — is the number of calories that your body burns while it’s at rest.
What is total energy requirement?
Energy requirement is the amount of food energy needed to balance energy expenditure in order to maintain body size, body composition and a level of necessary and desirable physical activity consistent with long-term good health.

On August 29, the first track from Vashu Bhagnani’s upcoming film, Ajab Gazabb Love, will be launched online (on sonymusic.com and YouTube). Boom boom boom, liplock kar le choreographed by Bosco, features Jackky Bhagnani with 290 dancers. It’s been shot in Viareggio, a small Tuscan town four hours from Milan, over a period of five days.
“It will connect with the youth, which is why we are releasing it online, rather than on TV, because youngsters log on to the net first. You can download the first song for free,” says Vashu, who also released the first promo online and got 1,60,000 hits in less than 48 hours. Chaar baj gaye from Jackky’s debut film, F.A.L.T.U had gone viral on YouTube too.
Subsequently, every two weeks, a new single will be launched online, right up to October 24 when the film and its music album will release simultaneously. “All four tracks are great, and over eight weeks, I want to give each a chance to grow on the listeners,” reasons Vashu.
Jackky will perform a seven-minute dance at the launch. Will he also lock lips with co-star Nidhi Subbaiah, like the song suggests? Vashu laughs, “There are no lip locks in the song either.”

EP571 - PM Modi to omit 'Pakistan' mention at UNGA | India Upfront With Rahul Shivshankar 17 SEPTEMBER 2019 | TIMESNOW | 30 MIN 26 SEC
On India Upfront With Rahul Shivshankar tonight, Times Now has been able to speak to highly placed sources in the government who have given your channel an authoritative inside view on how PM Modi intends to take on Pakistan's offensive on Kashmir at the UNGA. You may recall that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has promised to only talk about Kashmir and India's alleged atrocities in Kashmir during his UNGA address to internationalise the problem. According to sources, instead of dignifying Imran Khan's propaganda on Kashmir that he has vowed to spew during a speech at the UNGA, PM Modi is going to totally blackout the country and its leader. Watch for sensational details about PM Narendra Modi’s diplomatic ‘silent’ strike on Pakistan!

They have to be wired to the cranking (not deep cycle).
The availability of 12V add-ons is just going nuts inside the 4WD market right this moment so a great deal of people match up a 2nd or perhaps 3rd Journey Kings AGM battery to maintain up Together with the demand for amps from their camp lights, fridges, winches and entertainment programs.

My tiny 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram containers are self-supporting, peyote-stitched vessels, woven with cylinder beads. I developed This system by applying to beadwork the identical rules which are utilized to enhance in crochet.
These 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram containers can be as compact as oneâ€ł (two.5 cm) extensive-or as massive as your persistence (and pressure) enables.
The process of generating a 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box has several measures. While you complete Every phase, produce down what youve carried out just in case you have to refer again afterwards from the undertaking.
Before you commence a completely new stage, examine by that section diligently. There are many situations during which the instructions vary for differing kinds of 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram boxes. There may additionally be critical or handy notes to assist you work.
Research the diagrams meticulously, and Be certain that your beadwork framework conforms for the diagram before you decide to continue to another row.
There are actually styles and directions for twelve 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram packing containers, three of each from the four shapes: triangle, hexagon, pentagon, and sq.. In addition there are Directions for 2 rectangular variations. The styles and instruction sections are already organized from the easiest 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box to create (triangle) to the greater complicated (square), but you might start with any of the four 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box shapes. Whichever you end up picking, you can start producing Each individual 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box at the center of the base.
To build the 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram containers, you will operate with versions on peyote sew.
Peyote sew is a popular beadwork method which has a number of versions. A far more descriptive title with the sew is "one-bead netting," mainly because technically It is just a netted sew with "up" beads-the beads that protrude through the row-and "down" beads-the beads that recede to the row.
The Doing the job row is usually designed within the up beads. The netting incorporates just one bead for each sew, so the result is often a solid material of beads.
To generate the 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram packing containers, yon will operate with two standard beadwork variations on peyote sew: circular peyote sew and tubular peyote sew. You need not have practical experience Using these beadwork stitches. By following the written Directions and drawings delivered, youll be Studying these approaches Obviously.
Round peyote sew begins at a Middle level and improves symmetrically, making it possible for Every single row to have a larger number of beads when compared to the row before it, so that the beadwork radiates outward. The prepared raises produce segments in the beadwork and give Just about every 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box shape its specific amount of sides.
Tubular peyote stitch starts at a best or simply a base edge and generates a beaded tube. 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box sides are formed with tubular peyote sew. If you start tubular peyote having an odd variety of beads, the rows of beadwork spiral. For those who start with a fair variety of beads, the main bead inside a row is usually the final bead, so you might want to "step up"-or sew again into the last bead to start another row.
To make The bottom, you are going to work Together with the variation on circular pevote. For getting comfortable Along with the strategy, youll want to practicc to start with. Listed below are the Guidance for generating The bottom for each of the four 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box styles. Pick the shape youd like to try very first as your exercise piece, and Stick to the Guidelines for that 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box form.
Start with a length of thread close to 5â€˛ (1.5 m) lengthy and about 5 grams of beads in one or more colours that you prefer. I choose to double my thread (tenâ€˛ [three m] lengthy before doubling) to ensure that if 1 strand breaks, I will make repairs Along with the piece however intact-but do whatsoever is cozy to suit your needs. I counsel that you just make use of a thinner thread if you intend to double it along with a thicker thread if you propose to work with an individual strand.
If you are satisfied with the scale of the base of the 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box, continue to bead within the edges without growing (each Area gets just one bead).
Remember to phase up while you comprehensive each row-you arc now working with tubular peyote stitch.
Following a several rows, youll find that the sides are starting to curl upward.Maintain your stress business and, when you round the corners, meticulously pinch the corner into condition. This is especially vital when creating a triangle 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box since the much less the volume of sides, the sharper the corner angle is going to be.
Straight and Recessed Tops Depending on the variety of the 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box lid you choose, the sides of your 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box will probably be possibly straight or recessed at the very best.
To bead a 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box that has straight sides from bottom to leading, continue on right up until your 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box is two rows in need of the desired height. The final row ought to have an up bead in the corners. Now you con merely start to make the them (Will probably be in upcoming write-up). To bead a 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box with sides that arc recessed at the very best, keep on right up until your 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box is the specified top (about twoâ€ł [five.one cm] lor your observe piece). Make one or more decrease cycles, based on the form of your 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box (see sidebar on struggling with webpage). A reduce cycle is the other of a boost cycle hut is equivalent in physical appearance.
Lowering for a Triangle 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box
The decrease cycle to get a triangle 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box is simple. After you have done the first row, each subsequent row is the same.
Row one: Make sure you might have concluded the sides within your 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box with an up bead on possibly side with the corner bead. For the following row, bead the edges as normal. When you come to a corner,omit the corner bead, and stitch straight from the primary up bead into the subsequent.
Pull firmly on the thread when you sew the very first few beads subsequent the skipped bead making sure that as very little thread as is possible exhibits. After you total this row, the corners from the 1995 S10 Heater Wiring Diagram box will likely be far more outlined, and the perimeters will begin to curl inward. Move up to begin another row.
Row two: Bead another row as you probably did the main. Whenever you arrive at a corner, youll discover the two corner beads with the preceding row are virtually touching. Sew from the very first bead after which you can the following without introducing a bead in between. Bead the remaining sides in exactly the same way, skipping a bead when you round Each individual corner. Step up to start the next row. When you have finished the expected range of minimize cycles on your type of lid, get started earning the interior column.

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!
And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart's delight.
So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten-thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.

I didn’t expect to like this drama as much as I do. I am not much of a fan girl, so I didn’t think I would relate to the plot. But I have been excited to see how Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook are together. Her drunken scene in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim is everything and who doesn’t love the Waffle Guy in Coffee Prince. And Robin’s post about the show got me hyped enough to start watching while it’s still airing instead of waiting til it ends so I can binge the episodes if it’s addictive. And now I cant’t wait for next weeks episodes.
So far this drama has just the right amount of comedy, intrigue and chemistry. I have not been able to guess episode to episode what would happen next with the leads, the gallery they work at or with the idol the leading lady is such a fan of.
I’ve enjoyed it a lot so far. The only things I am not a fangirl of (get it ha ha) are the dramas incorporation of love triangles and misunderstandings, which may have enlarged the script and increased the show count, but aren’t, in my opinion, adding anything beneficial to the plot. That said the show so far is great and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
6 thoughts on “K-Drama: Her Private Life (1st Impressions)”
I’m super excited to start this one. I loved her in What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim!
LikeLiked by 1 person
I actually just caught up on all episodes last night. As a fan of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, I’m actually really enjoying this. It took me a few separate times to get through the first episode, but that was just my own hesitations as I had last seen Kim Jae Wook in Voice as the killer psychopath and it was a weird transition into rom com land. But I’m really liking him and Park Min Young, so it didn’t take long for me to adjust. I need to work on getting my own first impressions posted. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
YW. I can only imagine how weird that transition was. I once saw Marcia Cross at my work after her Melrose Place days and had to remind myself that she wasn’t really a psycho who would light my house on fire if she was mad LOL.
Looking forward to your first impressions posts and really all future posts from you!
I’m glad you started up too, and are finding it equally enjoyable. I’ve always liked Kim Jae-wook and thought he needed more opportunities to showcase his more thoughtful acting style and this is just the vehicle. Watching Ryan watch Deok-mi, always thinking about her, her actions, her moods, and taking steps in so many little ways to keep her and her secret world safe is so delicious. Each of their intimate moments (real or imagined) illustrate their chemistry — I don’t care if it’s fan-service (just like much of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim), I’m a fan who’s very happy with the results.
One of the many things I’m liking so far is the plot’s manipulation of the typical romance story “beats” (episode 1, X happens, episode 3, Y happens, and so on). The main story points in episodes 7 and 8 would (I think) happen a little further in a drama, so the writer is keeping me on my toes. I like being kept on my toes!
Ditto to everything you said!

The Great Canadian Book of Lists makes for great reading and great trivia questions. You'll be surprised, delighted, educated and intrigued by the entries - just what the authors wanted to accomplish.

Mothers, we’re a breed apart, the moment we become one we stop being that carefree as we once used to be. Suddenly our child(ren) become our entire focus.
Parenting itself is a challenging role because no matter how much you read or talk about it, nothing prepares you for what could happen next.
Here are a few things that we feel that mothers tend to keep adjusting to until the pressure builds up. It’s important to be aware of these and make a positive shift.
1. Handling emotional challenges – Being a mother though is a privilege and honour, does come with its share of emotional challenges. Just when you think you’ve got it all sorted out, bam! Your child refuses to listen to you or throws a temper tantrum.
2. Lack of sleep and rest – As mothers we seldom put ourselves in the priority list, in fact we don’t even feature on the list! Why is that? Remember, a woman/ a mother is a focal point of a family or household and if anything happens to her, the entire balance gets lopsided.
3. Trying to do it all – Sometimes it is really okay to let go. If the house is not clean or the dishes not done – no matter how much it frustrates you from within, sometimes it is best to let go. Because even though we’re multi-tasking goddesses, even goddesses need a break.
4. Being guilty and the fear of being judged – As mothers we are already doing our best juggling home, childcare and work. We have to let go of two self-inflicted negative influences in our lives – the fear of being judged and being guilty and for what?
5. It’s really okay to cry and let off steam – It’s very important to realise that our kids are constantly learning by observing us, and if we show them that in spite of a breakdown we overcome it all, they will love us more because we’re only human

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of New South Wales, Australia, lies a town rich in history, folklore, and cultural heritage — Gundagai. Its serene beauty captivates visitors, the rich tapestry of stories woven into its past that truly enchant visitors. From the footprints of renowned figures like Herbert Hoover and Banjo Patterson, to stories such as Phar Lap’s saddle cloth. Gundagai invites exploration into its multifaceted past.
The Origins of Gundagai
Gundagai’s story begins long before European settlement. The Wiradjuri people were the original custodians of this land, weaving their traditions and wisdom into the fabric of the region. The name “Gundagai” itself is of Indigenous origins. It possibly means “cut with a hand-axe behind the knee.” Referring possibly refers to the bend in the Murrumbidgee River. The town’s location, at the crossing of the Murrumbidgee River. A significant meeting point for Indigenous tribes but also for European settlers.
Gold Fever Hits Gundagai
European settlement in Gundagai began in the early 19th century, spurred by the fertile land and access to waterways. Thus by the mid-1800s, the town had become a bustling hub for trade and transportation with the gold rush.
While not as renowned as other goldfields like Ballarat or Bendigo, Gundagai’s proximity to the Murrumbidgee River also its tributaries made it a promising site for gold prospecting. In the early 1850s, reports of gold finds in the surrounding areas began to circulate. This attracted eager fortune-seekers from far and wide.
As news of gold discoveries spread, Gundagai experienced an influx of prospectors, entrepreneurs, and settlers hoping to strike it rich. The town’s population swelled, makeshift settlements sprung up along the riverbanks and in the Hills (like Reno), and the bustling streets hummed with activity. Gold fever gripped Gundagai, fuelling dreams of wealth and prosperity. Gundagai once had 12 Jewellery shops in the Main Street, however Gundagai’s prosperity was not without its challenges….
Floods and Resilience:
One of the most defining chapters in Gundagai’s history is the series of devastating floods that struck the town, like the catastrophic flood of 1852. This event claimed hundreds of lives and left an indelible mark on the town’s psyche. Despite the destruction, Gundagai rose from the waters, displaying remarkable resilience and fortitude.
The Gundagai flood of 1852 is one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in Australian history. In terms of loss of life relative to the size of the community at the time. This event stands out not only for its immediate impact but also for the long-term changes it prompted. Changes in settlement patterns and flood management in the region ensued.
Gundagai is located on the floodplain of the Murrumbidgee River in New South Wales and established in the 1830s. Despite the area being prone to flooding, the town was initially built on the low-lying flats of the river. It’s easy immediate access to water and fertile land for agriculture drawing the settlers in.
The Flood of June 1852
In June 1852, after several days of heavy rain, the Murrumbidgee River began to swell rapidly. Soon after breaking its banks and inundating the town of Gundagai. The floodwaters rose with unprecedented speed and ferocity, catching many residents off guard.
Impact and Loss
The flood was devastating. Around 89 people, out of a population of approximately 250, lost their lives in the flood. This represented about one-third of the town’s population. Making it the deadliest flood in Australian history in terms of numbers and moreover the proportion of the population affected. The floodwaters swept away entire buildings, homes, and livestock, leaving little behind. The infrastructure of the young settlement was entirely destroyed.
Heroism and Survival
Amidst the tragedy, there were also incredible acts of bravery and survival. Local Heroes Yarri, Jacky Jacky, Long Jimmy, and other Wiradjuri men, using their bark canoes, rescued over 40 settlers from the rooftops and debris in the floodwaters. Their knowledge of the river and canoeing skills were crucial in saving many lives. The survivors, despite the immense loss, showed remarkable resilience in the aftermath, coming together to rebuild their lives and community. This is a legacy that still lasts today in the hearts and minds of the local population.
Aftermath and Changes
The flood had long-lasting effects on Gundagai and the wider region. Recognising the vulnerability of the original site, the town was subsequently rebuilt on higher ground. Moving away from the immediate risk of flooding. This move likely saved many lives in later years. The Murrumbidgee River would flood again, but with less impact on the relocated township. The disaster also highlighted to authorities, the need for better understanding and management of flood risks in Australian settlements. Leading to changes in town planning and building, particularly in flood-prone areas. Forevermore influencing policies and practices in flood management and town planning across the country.
The 1852 flood remains a significant part of Gundagai’s history and Australian natural disaster lore. Thus serving as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the importance of respecting and adapting to the environmental conditions of an area. The heroism displayed during the flood by the Wiradjuri people is forever remembered. A bronze statue in the Main Street remembers the strength and indeed the unity of the Gundagai community.
A US President was a Gundagai Resident
Gundagai’s colourful array of past residents during this time included Herbert Hoover. Mr Hoover resided in Gundagai during his early years, long before his ascent to the presidency of the United States. After studying mining engineering at Stanford University, he embarked on a career in the mining industry. As chief engineer of the Prince of Wales mine at Reno. Hoover was a young man seeking to make his fortune. There are stories of a young woman who considered herself engaged to Hoover but as the yarn goes…. she was engaged to many others also.
After leaving Australia, Hoover continued his career in mining, eventually becoming a successful businessman. He went on to serve as the Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge before winning the presidency in 1928. Hoover’s presidency was marked by the onset of the Great Depression, he served one term in office from 1929 to 1933.
Cultural Treasures of Gundagai
Gundagai’s cultural heritage is preserved in its museums and landmarks. These quaint relics offer a treasure trove of artefacts and stories. Among these is Phar Lap’s last ever saddle cloth…
Phar Lap’s Saddle Cloth at the Gundagai Museum
James Robinson (of Kimo Estate) and his syndicate, was instrumental in negotiating the return of Phar Lap’s body from the United States to Australia.
The significance of Phar Lap to Australian racing and cultural heritage is enormous. Noticing this significance, James Robinson and his associates successfully arranged for Phar Lap’s body to be returned to Australia. The syndicate covered the costs involved in transporting the body back to its homeland. The Saddle cloth, received by James has been donated to the Gundagai Museum where it still sits today.
Another cultural gem is the work of Giuseppe (Joe) Rosconi, a master marble sculptor whose creations adorn Gundagai’s landscape. Rosconi’s intricate sculptures, including the renowned Dog on the Tuckerbox, capture the essence of Gundagai’s spirit. It also serves as an enduring symbol of its identity.
Giuseppe Rosconi (Joe), an Italian-born master marble sculptor renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship and contributions to art and architecture. Born in Carrara, Italy, Rosconi honed his skills in the renowned marble quarries of his homeland before making his mark on the world stage, including his notable work in Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey‘s link to Gundagai
One of Rosconi’s most celebrated achievements was his involvement in the restoration and embellishment of Westminster Abbey in London, England. Westminster Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Britain’s most iconic religious landmarks, boasts a rich history dating back over a thousand years.
Rosconi’s craftsmanship graces Westminster Abbey in the form of intricate marble sculptures and architectural elements. His work can still be seen at the abbey. Rosconi’s contributions to Westminster Abbey exemplify his mastery of marble sculpting and his ability to enhance the beauty and grandeur of historic structures.
Work in Marble Mines
Before his illustrious career in Europe and beyond, Rosconi gained invaluable experience working in the marble quarries of Carrara, Italy. Carrara, renowned for its high-quality marble, is a fitting birthplace for such a man. Rosconi’s time in the marble mines honed his expertise in working with this exquisite material, laying the foundation for his future success as a sculptor.
The Marble Masterpiece
Rusconi’s Marble Masterpiece was intended to showcase the diversity and beauty of New South Wales marble, effectively serving as a unique cathedral-in-miniature. The Marble for his masterpiece was collected from various mines around Australia. Remarkably, Rusconi completed this intricate work without any known plans or drawings, relying solely on his sight and skill. This fact underscores his exceptional talent and the artistic value of the Marble Masterpiece.
The Dog on the Tuckerbox
One of Rosconi’s most enduring legacies is his creation of the Dog on the Tuckerbox monument, located in Gundagai, New South Wales, Australia. Commissioned in the 1920s, the monument commemorates the pioneering spirit of the region and has become an iconic symbol of Gundagai.
The creation of the Dog on the Tuckerbox monument was a monumental undertaking that showcased Rosconi’s unparalleled skill and dedication. Working with Carrara marble imported from Italy, Rosconi meticulously sculpted the intricate details of the monument, including the faithful dog perched atop a tuckerbox. The monument stands as a testament to Rosconi’s artistic vision and craftsmanship, enduring as a beloved landmark and cultural treasure in Gundagai.
Rosconi’s journey from the marble quarries of Carrara to the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey and beyond exemplifies the power of art to transcend borders and enrich lives. His legacy lives on through his masterful works, which continue to inspire and awe audiences around the world.
Agriculture and Gundagai: through it all…
By the mid-1800s, Gundagai became a significant agricultural hub, with sheep and cattle grazing being predominant. The discovery of gold in the area in the 1850s temporarily shifted the focus from agriculture, attracting a surge of prospectors. However, agriculture remained a staple of the region’s economy, with many miners eventually turning to farming as the gold rush waned.
Livestock farming has long been a cornerstone of Gundagai’s agricultural sector. The region is renowned for its sheep and cattle farming, with sprawling pastoral properties dotting the countryside. Sheep grazing on lush pastures and cattle roaming verdant hillsides are common sights, reflecting Gundagai’s heritage as a hub for wool and beef production.
Gundagai has a storied history in wool production, dating back to the early days of European settlement. The town’s fertile grazing lands and favorable climate provide ideal conditions for sheep farming, making it a prime location for wool growers. The wool industry has played a significant role in Gundagai’s economy, with local farmers contributing to Australia’s reputation as a leading producer of high-quality wool. The Macquarie family (as in Governor Macquarie) also trialed Merino’s at Nangus Station making them possibly the 2nd flock of Merinos in Australia. A sheep that made Australia a very rich place in the wool boom years.
In addition to livestock farming, Gundagai’s agricultural landscape also supports crop cultivation. The region’s fertile soils and temperate climate allow for the growth of a variety of crops, including grains, legumes, and fodder crops. Farmers in Gundagai cultivate crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and canola, contributing to both local food production and broader agricultural markets.
In recent years, Gundagai has emerged as a burgeoning wine region, with vineyards taking root in the surrounding hillsides. The region’s climate and unique terroir provide ideal conditions for grape cultivation, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and character. Gundagai’s wineries offer visitors the opportunity to sample a diverse range of varietals, showcasing the region’s potential as a premier wine destination.
Today and Tomorrow, What’s In Store for Gundagai…
While no one knows where things are going, Gundagai sits in a very strong position to add to it’s long history, several opportunities present themselves to the region.
Gundagai should see an increase in the variety of agricultural products, including niche markets such as organic produce, specialty grains, or vineyards, which have been gaining popularity in various regions of Australia. The fertile soils of the river flats can grow almost anything and are currently under-utilised.
The extreme natural beauty of the Gundagai region, with its rolling hills, rivers, and scenic landscapes, is ideal for nature-based tourism. Activities like hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation can be further developed to attract outdoor enthusiasts.
Combining agriculture and tourism, agritourism offers visitors a chance to experience farm life, participate in agricultural activities, and learn about local food production. Farm stays, wine tasting tours, and farmer’s markets, providing an additional income stream for local farmers and a unique experience for tourists.
And the Elephant in the room – The trend of tree changers, the affordability of housing and the rise of remote work opportunities should contribute to population growth and economic diversification in Gundagai. This demographic shift, has and is likely to further spur on development of new businesses, attractions, services, and community initiatives catering to both residents and visitors. Therefore growth of this pretty little town halfway between Melbourne and Sydney seems inevitable. It’s just a matter of time….

This is diet-changing stuff. I’ve asked myself how something so creamy and yummy can also be so healthy and light. Oh, but it can. It’s called Kohlrabi.
Like most vegetables, kohlrabi is healthy and nutritious. This one is particularly rich in Vitamin C, though. Just a hundred-gram serving gives you all your daily Vitamin C requirement. And, my goodness, it is so low in calories it is almost criminal. It has the creaminess of potatoes but it has just one third of the calories.
One kilogram of raw kohlrabi has only 270 calories. To put this into perspective, that’s less than a calorie count of 100 grams of bread. Amazing, isn’t it?
Geeky science fact: Kohlrabi is actually man-made. Along with cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts, it was created by artificial selection from the wild mustard plant (brassica oleracea). Artificial selection of a plant means the intentional selection of certain traits you like from the plant, so for example:
- Brocolli resulted from the suppression of flower development.
- Kale was the outcome from the enlargement of leaves
- Cauliflower came from sterile flowers
- Cabbage arose from suppression of the internode’s length (the bit of the plant stem between the nodes); and
- Kohlrabi was the result of enhancement of the lateral meristem (part of the plant cells involved in lateral/sideways growth)
Thankfully, contrary to artificial selection and cultivation, cooking Kohlrabi is not a complicated undertaking. Here’s as perfectly basic, easy-to-make soup with a great clean flavour which you can tweak to your heart’s content – wants spice, add cayenne; dreaming of Italy, add bay leaves and rosemary; or like it exotic, add cumin powder, you get the gist.
- 1 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and chopped
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- Salt and black pepper
- Vegan parmesan (I use
- Heat coconut oil in a large pan. Add onions and cook gently until soft, about 10 minutes. Add kohlrabi and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add vegetable stock, and almond milk to pan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 25 minutes or until kohlrabi is tender. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, bench top blender or food processor, puree soup until smooth.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in heated bowls with freshly cracked pepper and a generous sprinkle of vegan parmesan.


Fiat has already talked in detail about their roadmap in India and there are some exciting products lined up from this Italian giant.
Currently, Fiat has only a single Linea in the C-sedan segment. Fiat is going to launch a refresh of the gorgeous looking car pretty soon. Towards the end of this year, Fiat will launch ‘Linea Classic‘ which we assume will be the current Linea which will obviously come devoid of some luxury features. Does this remind you of Ford Fiesta in India?
Early next year, Fiat will launch the new Linea in India which has already made it to a few international markets. This new Linea will sit in the premium C-segment over Linea Classic and will come with the following engine options.
- 1.4L Turbocharged petrol
- 1.6L Multijet Diesel
That means that new Linea will ditch the current lower powered naturally aspirated 1.4L petrol and 1.3L multijet diesel. It will carry the 1.4L engine in its current turbocharged T-Jet form which (currently) produces 114PS of power and 207Nm of torque. The more interesting bit here is the diesel engine. New Linea will bring the 1.6L Multijet diesel motor which will debut here in India on Fiat cars.
Both these engines are expected to be shared on Jeep’s B-segment and C-segment SUV’s which will come later. Fiat has chalked out a nice little strategy. Two sedans in both entry level and premium C-segment will be a welcome move and a proper differentiation will help both to not eat into each other’s shares.

Meghalaya caves extend record-breaking network by over 6.6 km
Over 6.6 km have been added to Meghalaya's already record-breaking cave network
The Meghalayan cave system now extends 6.6 kilometers, or 6,635 meters, following to an international caving effort that took place from February 6 to 24.
According to Brian D. Kharpran Daly of the Meghalaya Adventurers' Association (MAA), the total length of cave route explored and mapped in the State is currently 537.6 km, with much more still lying in wait to be discovered.
Along with the members of MAA, a group of international cavers from the UK, Switzerland, and Ireland mapped the Muallian region in the East Jaintia Hills district.
The expedition this year was more difficult and technically challenging because all the caves in the vicinity had over 85 m vertical entrance shafts. Furthermore, it takes more than 3.5 hours to travel from the entrance to the last point of the survey as exploration deepens into the cave networks, according to MAA general secretary Brian D. Kharpran Daly.
He said that the trip was focused on the three caves of Krem Rynjang, Pynnoh Um Sngad, and Ram Khur.
The interconnected Pynnoh Um Sngad-Ram Khur cave system is now India's seventh-longest cave with a total length of 14,950 meters, an increase of 2,536 meters from the 5,295 meters that had previously been recorded.
Krem Rynjang is now the fifth-longest in India with a length of 20,445 meters, an increase of 4,117 meters.
The Directorate of Sports & Youth Affairs, the Government of Meghalaya, and the Meghalayan Age Limited have all received genuine appreciation from the MAA for their ongoing assistance, without which the documenting of the Meghalayan caverns would not have been a success.

Bryce Dallas Howard will attend a special preview of her new film Pete’s Dragon in London at the end of the month.
Hot on the heels of the release of the first poster for Disney’s Pete’s Dragon, we now have the first trailer.
One of the films I’m most intrigued about this year is the remake of Pete’s Dragon.
Based on the 1977 Disney film, the remake is directed by David Lowery.
The film will blend live action and CGI to tell the story of the special bond between an orphaned boy, Pete, and his best friend, Elliott, who just happens to be a dragon.
The start of a new year always prompts me to take a look at some of the cinematic offerings our local multiplexes will have on offer over the next 12 months.
This is a rundown of the film’s I’m looking forward to in the coming year. NB, I’ve only chosen films which have confirmed UK release dates.
From Captain America v Iron Man to the first Star Wars spin-off via Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in a musical, hopefully there’s a film here to pique your interest.

An ellipse of the dark area is always seen whenever the light is allowed to pass through bifocal glasses [[Figure 1]a- white arrow]. This ellipse corresponds to the junction of the distant and near lenses and we believe it to cause some form of scotoma to the person whose mechanism [Figure 1]b we hypothesize to be very similar to roving ring scotoma, in case of aphakic glasses. Differential refraction, causing differential prismatic deflection, at the junction of 2 optically dissimilar surfaces forms a scotoma between the 2 zones as shown. The same mechanism partly also contributes to negative dysphotopsias.
