Prahran’s complete package
173-175 High Street, Prahran
One of Melbourne’s most unique shopping precinct offerings of the year has sold for $4.645 million, achieving a tight sub-3.5% yield.
The striking four-level Prahran building of 704sqm at 173-175 High Street comprising seven separate titles with retail, office and residential components sold to a local private investor.
On a site area of 270sqm, the property comprises a ground floor café, four office suites and two penthouse apartments with balconies, and is leased to seven tenants.
Fitzroys agents Chris Kombi, James Lockwood and David Bourke sold the property on behalf of a private investor that oversaw the development of the building.
The sale price reflected a land rate of $17,300 per sqm.
Zoned Activity Centre 1, the property is located in the popular Prahran retail precinct, positioned just 40 metres from iconic Chapel Street, which is undergoing a revitalisation throughout the Prahran and Windsor end, spilling over throughout High Street.
Kombi said the purchaser was attracted to the rare commercial offering of a diversified income stream from three different sectors, each with rental growth potential.
He said the property’s seven titles gives the purchaser the future flexibility to sell-down each individually as they see fit.
“We received strong interest from multiple parties attracted to the uniqueness of the offering, as well as the future upside in this precinct,” he said.
“The local residential population continues to boom, driven by the nearby Forrest Hill precinct and developments such as 50-storey Capitol Grand to the north, and numerous high-density residential developments throughout the area recently completed or in various stages of planning and construction.
“The property is also surrounded by celebrated eateries including Hanoi Hannah, Huxtaburger and The Smith, and the continued revitalisation of the Windsor end of Chapel Street immediately to the south has spurred a bustling nightlife and hospitality precinct.
“This has been further bolstered by Newmark Capital’s plans for its $450 million mixed-use redevelopment of the Jam Factory nearby.”

April 4, 2012
Let me see if I can cover the bases here in quick succession: spring (it’s here), Passover and Easter (coming soon to a calendar near you), blossoms (daffodil, azalea, tulip, & the like), asparagus (served up in accordance with the season at an event we attended last night), mosquitoes (out in full force, damn them), cold-brew iced coffee (the first batch of which I made this week), and annual viewings of The Sound of Music and The Ten Commandments (both have become tradition in this house).
There you have it, my early April in a nutshell. And as of 4:00 pm on Thursday, you can add a long-awaited spring break to that list!
I’ve got nothing particularly fancy planned for the days ahead: oil change, dentist appointment, house cleaning & organizing, cooking, reading, writing, and meeting a friend’s new baby boy. It doesn’t seem like much until I stop and think about what we were doing this time last year. To get up every morning and not have to think about cancer? That’s a downright luxury, and I intend to enjoy it.
CHERRY PISTACHIO COOKIES
For those of you in need of a Passover-friendly sweet, allow me to suggest these elegant and easy-to-make-ahead amaretti cookies. And regardless of your observance/affiliation, EVERYONE should make matzo toffee at least once. Just know that you’re probably going to eat it all in one sitting.
These cookies were inspired by my mama, who loves loves loves pistachios. This dough is very simple; for a classic shortbread and more crumbly texture, omit the egg. I like to think of this dough as a kind of “secret weapon” since a log of it freezes beautifully, rolled in wax paper and then foil. Whenever you have company or want to make a gift of some baked goods, you can slice and bake straight from the freezer.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup sugar
½ cup shelled & unsalted pistachios, chopped
½ cup dried cherries, chopped
zest of 1 orange or lemon
¼ tsp. salt
optional: coarse sugar for finishing the cookies
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, & zest together on medium high for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the speed and add the egg, then the flour and salt until the mixture just comes together. Stir in the cherries and pistachios.
Divide the dough in half, rolling each section into a log about an inch in diameter. Roll in plastic wrap, then chill at least an hour before baking, or freeze for later use.
When ready to bake, line two baking sheets with parchment and preheat your oven to 350°. Slice your dough into pieces about ¼ inch thick, rolling the edges of each piece in a bowl of coarse sugar before placing about an inch apart on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes (longer if your dough has come straight from the fridge), or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Transfer the parchment sheets to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
PS—These are especially delicious with a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Families who turn to the Government to organise their child maintenance will be fined up to 24 per cent of the money they are given, under new Government plans.
Parents who fail to “sort it out for themselves” and cannot come to amicable agreements will be charged the levy on all maintenance payments, Steve Webb, the pensions minister has said.
The paying parent, usually the father, will have a 20 per cent fee added to any payment paid to the mother if the money is paid through the new Government service, which is replacing the free to access Child Support Agency.
The receiving parent, generally the mother, will pay an extra 4 per cent to get the money if it is paid through the system.
Parents who simply need advice and support but are able to pay each other directly can access a £20 “Pay Direct” service.
Thousands of letters are to be sent to single parents in Britain informing them of changes to their child maintenance arrangements.
Gingerbread, a charity which supports single parents, said the charges were “wrong in principal” as most parents only accessed Government help when relations had broken down so far that it was a “necessity not a choice”.
While victims of domestic violence do not have to pay the £20 access fee, the 24 per cent in levies still apply if they access the system, the charity warned.
Mr Webb said the new system would make parents to take back this responsibility for their own children’s child support and stop turning to the state to sort things out for them.
He told Radio Four's Today programme: “The goal here is to get more child maintenance for more children and to make it the default, even though they have separated, [for parents] to sort things out for themselves rather than using a state bureaucracy.
He added: “If there is a 20 per cent penalty on the dad he has a strong incentive to be paying straight to mum in which case these charges drop away. So it is a better system for parents and children.”
A Government spokesman said the old CSA was using an IT system that was "totally inadequate and notoriously riddled with defects", and as such it was costing £74 million per annum to run in operating costs alone.
The spokesman added that the old maintenance system "took responsibility away from parents, encouraging conflict and hostility at huge expense to the taxpayer".
Alison Garnham, chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group, said: “The big problem with fees is they may put off parents from seeking help from the Child Maintenance Service, leaving them settling for arrangements where their former partner doesn’t put a fair share towards the cost of raising their child.
"And where a former partner won’t cooperate, fees will not help to encourage them."

*Bonus* Recipe #6
Updated: Mar 13, 2021
Any bonus recipes I made will be posted at the end of each week. A sweet note for all! (recipe included at the end of the post)
It was around a year ago that I discovered overnight oats. I was looking for a healthy and filling breakfast when tight on time. I have since experimented with making many different types. They are delicious, cheap, and super easy to make. All it starts with is whole grain rolled oats soaked in milk and/or yogurt, and there are so many twists and additions you can add from there. When I was going to school in person (driving!), this was a breakfast I would make all the time when anticipating a rush to get out the door. So, for me that meant... basically every morning :).
I remember running 5 minutes late, grabbing my prepared bowl out of the fridge, throwing on any final toppings in much haste, and literally sprinting out the door (backpack in one hand, my precious breakfast balancing precariously in the other). If you are wondering: only one time did I drop my bowl on the floor—I was absolutely devastated—after that I was more careful. I devoured each spoonful during the car ride.
Mornings I had overnight oats to look forwards to were always highly anticipated. My grumbling stomach thanked me for my thoughtfulness. So while it might take 5 minutes and a little push to prep it in the evening; I promise it is so worth it for the convenience in the morning.
If you have never made overnight oats before, tried and didn't much like them, or are in need of some good recipes; here are my favorites and 25 fresh ideas for your morning bowl: https://www.self.com/gallery/overnight-oats-recipe-ideas
Give these a shot! They might just blow your mind (and your taste buds) away!
* Hemp and Vanilla Bircher Breakfast *
This recipe is a little different to the overnight oat bowls I have made, though similar in context. Hemp and chia seeds are added to the mix for a little extra oomph, and the simpleness in ingredients here is key in capitalizing on summer's seasonal fresh fruit.
All it took was 3 minutes, Monday night, to combine everything in a container with a good stir and put it in the fridge to soak up the liquid.
In the morning, I topped mine off with a generous scoop of pomegranate seeds (one of my favorite fruits), sliced strawberries, and a scoop of almond butter. I was just following what she topped the model one in the picture with, but feel free to go wild and use whatever fruits you have on hand or enjoy.
The toppings made the vanilla flavor explode in my mouth! Despite being on the runny side (see in the picture how the toppings sunk in), it was delicious and surprisingly filling for it being a light summer breakfast. I made it in double quantity to have for breakfast Thursday morning as well.
This is another great easy breakfast option for busy mornings to add to your repertoire. I'll definitely be making this occasionally, even perhaps in the depths of winter cuddled in a thick sweatshirt!
If you are going for a thicker consistency and want your toppings to stay afloats, add a tad less almond milk.
Here's the recipe as promised:
I encourage you to give it a try yourself.
Let me know in the comments any of your favorite overnight oats recipes, how you liked this recipe, or what you topped yours with!

Toys posed with political messages during a demonstration in the Siberian city of Barnaul earlier this month.
Russian authorities are investigating whether demonstrations in favor of "clean elections" by Lego figures, stuffed dolls and other toys in the Siberian city of Barnaul this month are legal, according to reports.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that the toy demonstrations occurred on Jan. 7 and 14 in response to Barnaul police dispersing two protests by people in December over the country's parliamentary election results.
"While the authorities restrict our constitutional rights of freedom of peaceful assembly, the rights of toys have so far been untouched," Andrei Teslenko, a protest organizer, wrote in a post on popular social network Vkontankte, RIA Novosti said.
The so-called "nano meeting" included dolls, stuffed animals, South Park figurines and Lego men, some holding miniature placards reading "I'm for clean elections" and "A thief should sit in jail, not in the Kremlin," according to reports.
However, local police believe the demonstration may be breaking the law and have asked prosecutors to investigate.
"In our opinion, this is still an unsanctioned public event," deputy Barnaul police chief Andrei Mulintsev said at a press conference this week, according to The Guardian newspaper.
Prosecutor Sergei Kirei spoke to RIA Novosti by phone, saying, "People are not stupid ... The figurines did not come there by themselves. They did not write the placards on their own."
He added that they toys were "agitation material."
Teslenko, one of the organizers, said the police investigation to "launch a trial against toys" was "absurd," RIA Novosti said.

Introduction: Wooden Comb
Many years ago, my wife bought a wooden comb in Petrozavodsk in Russia. Unfortunately, it broke quickly, but she always loved that comb, so the other day she gave me a challenge: To make her a new wooden comb. After having looked around here and other places, I learned a bit about wooden combs and understood why hers had broken. In a wooden comb, the fibres needs to run along the teeth of the comb to make them as strong as possible, then the 'spine' of the comb will be easy to break. Therefore many wooden combs are made of two or three pieces of wood - one for the teeth and one to strengthen the spine.
I used one piece of birch, approximately 1,2 x 16 x 6.5 cm (7/16 x 6 1/4 x 2 1/2") and two pieces of cherry, each 0.3 x 3 x 25cm (1/8 x 1 x 10 ") It is crucial that in the birch piece, the grains of the wood runs along the 6.5 cm side, on the cherry pieces it should run along the 25 cm side.
Most types of hard wood should do, I cut the pieces from some of my firewood and I'll talk about them as birch and cherry, if you use other types of wood, adjust as needed.
I am using metric, when converting to inches, I do a simplified conversion to something that is close enough, in some cases the important parts are the ratios, then I leave the conversion to the reader.
I also used some pieces of scrap wood, some screws and some discs
The main tools I used was
- Band saw
- Table saw
- Handheld orbital sander (a band sander would probably have been better)
- Drill press
- Router table with a 20mm straight cutting bit
- Sanding paper 40, 80, 180 and 240
Step 1: Making of Jigs
After having made my first attempt, I found out that I needed three jigs. One to cut the fine teeth, one to cut the coarce teeth and one to hold the comb in my drill press.
The fine teeth jig is a piece of metal approximately as wide as (but not wider than) the blade of my band saw. This is fastened to a piece of wood which in turn is put on a track on the top of the table of my band saw. When using it, it should be positioned approximately 4.5 mm (5/16") from the blade of the band saw as flush as possible with the end of the teeth - definately not protruding as that will make each groove shorter than the previous - unless you want to make it that way. The piece of wood to become the comb should fit underneath the piece of wood.
The coarce teeth jig is made of a piece of wood 7.5 x 1,1 cm cut so that one side is 8 mm longer than the other (ie approx 1:10) (in my case 18 and 17.2 mm - the length does not matter as long as it is possible to rest the comb stable along the edged side and it is easy to hold stable) On each side I have put two discs that is protruding so that I can turn it around and hold it against the grove in the band saw table.
The third jig is a standard jig to stabilize the comb in the drill press.
Step 2: Routing and Glueing
Having cut the wood to the sizes I needed on the table saw (feel free to use other tools if you have better things available), using my routing table with a straight bit, I cut out 4,5 mm on each side for 2,5 cm (1") - as I wanted the comb to end up as 9 mm, there should be three layers each of 3 mm, So from the initial 12 mm, I had a "spine" of 3 mm left in the middle. Sanding a bit, I made sure the edge was as straight as possible before gluing on the pices of cherry wood on the sides as tight as possible. Since the pieces of cherry are longer than the piece of birch, the comb will have a long "handle" on one side - that will make in much easier and safer to handle during some of the later work. Use a strong preferably water resistant glue, make sure the entire surface is covered. Use some clamps and leave it to dry
Step 3: Cutting, Drilling and More Cutting
Make a line along the piece of birch approximately 3.5 cm (1 3/8 ") from what is going to be the points of the teeth. Mark the middle of the piece of wood and make a stop-mark approximately 5mm (3/16") from the middle. On the band saw, make a cut from the end wood to the long line approximately 1 cm (3/8") from the end to the line on the side of the stop mark. Then set up the fine-teeth jig so that it is approximately 4.5mm (7/64") from the blade. Make cuts until the stop mark is reached (the picture is from an earlier attempt, so there is no stop mark on the wood, but it should have been just after the last cut). Afterwards, use a compass or ruler to make marks along the long line from the last cut to the end with the spacing of two cuts. Then use the coarse tooth jig to draw lines making points from the edge of the birch to each mark. The cuts should end in a point at each mark but not meet at the edge. (This is impossible to describe in words, see photo).
Using a 5mm (3/8") drill, make a hole at each mark (again, see photo).
Using the coarse teeth jig as a support, cut along the lines, but cut outside the lines to make sure there is wood to sand away.
Step 4: Sanding - and Lots More of Sanding
Fold a 40 sanding paper, sand between each of the fine teeth until it runs smooth and the distance between the teeth is approximately the same as the width of the teeth. (this reminds me a lot of something my dentist occasionally is doing...) Sand on the sides of the comb to get the right profile (I used an orbital sander, I guess a band sander would be the best tool for this, but there is (still) not one in my shop)
Use a knife or a chisel to round of the coarse teeth a bit. Then sand them till they are smooth. Sand of the ends of the fine teeth until they are a bit pointed. Until you have learned what works, test the comb. It is very noticeable if it just skids over the hairs or if it works. Make sure that the teeth are not too sharp either.
If there is room between the pieces of wood, push in some glue and fill with sanding dust. Let it dry and sand a bit more.
Go gradually to finer sanding papers, through 180 to 240. When the comb feels smooth, wet it a little bit, let it dry and give it a new round with 240, Repeat until it feels smooth when dried.
Step 5: Finishing Words
After trying a few times, this starts to work well. The upper comb is my first attempt, made without any jigs and trying to make the entire distance between the fine teeth with the band saw. On the second one, I used the jigs, but I made the ends of the coarse teeth to narrow, so I lost too much length when I sanded them down. The last one starts to be a copy of the initial Russian comb.

I've never seen anything with both yeast and baking powder. What's the reason for that? Shouldn't e.g. muffins get even more fluffy by adding some yeast? Or bread by adding baking powder? I know there are differences in flavor, but there are cakes with yeast as also non-sweet things with baking powder. So that shouldn't be the problem...
You might want to have a read through Why use yeast instead of baking powder? to fully understand the differences between yeast and baking powder. The short summary is that baking powder tastes bad if there's enough to taste, but it's a lot easier and faster to use. But either one provides enough leavening to do pretty much whatever you want. Given that, the answer to your question is pretty much, why would you bother using both?
If you're okay with spending enough time to use yeast, you might as well use only yeast. Sure, maybe you could replace some of it with baking powder, but it won't save you any time, and it might taste worse. On the other hand, if you're okay with using just baking powder, why bother making your recipe take substantially longer? In either case, you'll be making things more complex without any real gain. If you want to make something fluffier, you can just increase the amount of the existing leavening; there's no need to combine two. And of course, in many cases, it's simply not feasible to use yeast. For example, a lot of quick breads (like muffins) are bad if overmixed, and letting them sit long enough for yeast to do its work would be bad too.
I think the case where you're thinking combined leavening would be useful is with something leavened with baking powder, where adding more would make it taste bad. But if it's possible to use yeast, then you might as well use only yeast. And if it's not feasible to use yeast, then maybe you use beaten egg whites to add fluff. Either way, you don't end up using a combination of yeast and baking powder.
There are of course breads leavened just with baking powder or baking soda (notably soda bread), and there are sweet baked goods leavened with yeast (for example cinnamon rolls). But in either case, there's really no reason to switch to using a combination of the two. Recipes pretty much pick the best tool for the job and go with it.
Everything @Jefromi says in his answer is correct--I wanted to elaborate on why it is true.
In order for a yeast raised bread to work, since the yeast generates the raising gas (carbon dioxide) slowly over time, it has to stay trapped for a long time. This requires a good gluten network. The gluten network is like little rubber balloons throughout the dough, and the yeast blow them up with their.... erm... exhalations :-)
It takes a lot of work to blow up all the metaphorical gluten balloons, but the yeast is a slow and patient worker--it is like the turtle, not the hare. With patience you will get there.
Chemical leavenings like baking powder (or baking soda plus acid, which is what baking powder is) generate their gas quite quickly. They are normally used in batters that are going to go into the oven as soon as they are assembled (the famous muffin method), so that gluten does not develop, giving them their charactaristic tender crumb, unlike yeast raised bread.
If you establish the gluten network for slow yeast raising to work:
There are some cases where you will see a small amount of baking soda (not powder) added to a yeast raised bread. One of my favorite toasting breads is in this category. The purpose of this baking soda is not to leaven, but rather to change the pH of the dough, making it less acidic, and facilitating browning of the crust.
As @Rumtscho has kindly pointed out is: If you did mix yeast and baking powder and then...
Yeast raised breads are:
Chemically leavened quick breads are:
The existing answers already explain why yeast and baking powder won't work together. But even if they did, you wouldn't have a reason to use them.
You seem to think that fluffiness depends on the amount of gas produced by the leaveners. In fact, it depends on both the gas and the ability of the dough to trap that gas. If you produce too much gas (no matter whether through yeast or through baking powder), then the fluffiness will be less than when using the optimal amount of leavener. This happens because your dough cannot hold the gas and the bubbles break, resulting in the dough deflating like a punctured tire. So even if combining two leaveners would have resulted in more "blowing big" action (which it doesn't, see the other answers), you would not end up with a fluffier end product. If you want fluffy muffins, you have to use a recipe and a technique which is best capable of retaining the gas produced by the baking powder. The amount of gas production is not a bottleneck.
Actually I discovered many professional bakers do use small amounts of baking powder in their yeast breads. Some call it their secret. It is also used in packaged breads and acts as a dough improver for texture, not for more fluff. I add around 1/2 tsp baking powder to my pizza dough (around 2 1/2 - 3 cups flour) and it seems that it stretches easier. I also add to many bread recipes I have, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. I do not know the science behind it but it works.
As far as adding yeast to muffins and cakes, I am not sure, but I have a couple recipes for sweets that includes semolina, and yeast along with baking powder is used. The cake has to rest an hour before baking even though it does not rise, but after baking, the texture is the desired one.
I have a few recipes at home that call for adding both baking powder and sodium bicarbonate to flour in a cake. Given that the latter is the main ingredient to the former (along with some starch), what's the purpose of using a bit of both?
they turn cocoa dust into instant chocolate milk powder? I've already figured out that ordinary baking cocoa is the weakly de-oiled one. Obviously the oil stipend contributes to the difficulty of mixing it with cold fluids. - So I went out and bought some strongly de-oiled cocoa, which subjectively mixes better already. (But that might be just post-purchase rationalization.) Adding glucose powder...The question on Dissolving cocoa powder in milk describes the two common workarounds for making chocolate milk with raw cocoa powder. While obviously it works easiest with hot milk, making cocoa
Both yeast and baking powder are used to gas-fill the pastry, make it expand and thus make it soft and fluffy. Using yeast is rather inconvenient - it can be dead already or if the yeast is submerged in too hot water it can die and also waiting for yeast to work to let it gas-fill the pastry before baking is also not that convenient. Looks like the baking powder is more convenient - it can be stored for ages, can be mixed with hot water, baking can be started immediately after mixing the pastry. Why is yeast used then? What are those advantages of yeast tham make people use yeast
I recently made popovers and I knew they would 'pop over'. Yet, I was surprised they came that high. I'm curious how this is possible, since there is no yeast, baking powder, self-rising flour, beaten egg whites... I think it's because of the egg, but I'm not sure. So, can somebody explain this?
I was going to make a focaccia-like dish, but found that I don't have any yeast. Can I substitute it with baking powder? How?
out this may be something of an inadvertent trick question. I have yet to test this but I get the idea that store-bought white cake and yellow cake batter powders both have a more similar cake battery taste than I originally suspect. The reason is pretty simple: the combination and ratios of sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour are probably not very different between the two powder mixes (don't...We recently made a cobbler by adding oil, water, and powdered yellow cake mix (from a box) on top of sugary fruit filling and it came of the oven crispy and delicious with that distinctive yellow
A "compressed yeast cake" is called for in each of my great-grandmother's bread recipes. Can I use active dry yeast as a substitution for one? If so, how much active dry yeast should I substitute per compressed yeast cake?
I'm trying to make a yeast-free, no-gluten pizza dough for a friend who basically can eat neither, but loves pizza. The last try included water, rice flour, olive oil, salt, baking powder and guar gum, and although it was better than previous attempts (the dough held together after baking, and didn't turn into a giant crispy cracker) it was still not chewy and crisp as a traditional pizza would be. I'm not expecting a result that perfectly mimics traditional recipes (where gluten and yeast are involved), but would like to know if anyone has tried other flours and yeast replacements that can
translate into a weight of dried active yeast too easy any more. Secondly, the bread recipe calls for water, yet adding the proofed yeast would change the ratios of this and I imagine alter the consistency...I have a recipe that calls for fresh yeast, but I want to substitute a particular weight of dried active yeast for the fresh yeast. It seems from this question that I do not need to proof the dried active yeast and can simply weigh the amount of granules out of the dried yeast and just make the dough with that relying on the water content of the dough to work on the yeast.

The Reservation Section is a vital part of the front office department of a hotel and it plays an important role in the sale of guestrooms by taking future room bookings and thus plays an important role in generation of revenue for the hotel.
Main Functions of Reservation Section
- Receiving the reservation request from the guest.
- Checking the room availability for accepting the reservation request.
- To process the reservation conformation to the guests and keeping a record of the same
- Communicating the reservation confirmation to guests and keeping a record of the same
- Processing reservation modifications and cancellations according to the request of the guests and also according to the availability of guestrooms.
- Ensure full occupancy of the guestrooms of the hotel by taking future reservations
- Processing individual and group reservation separately.
Importance of Reservation Section
- The reservation section gives the hotel a chance to equate the guest inquiry with the room’s availability and thus, the hotel sufficient time to arrange and prepare for the most suitable accommodation for the guests.
- The section also forecasts and gives good indication of the level of business and revenue generation of that the hotel might get in future. Preparing staff scheduling in future.
- The main importance of the reservation section is that it sells the main perishable product of the hotel i.e., room and increase the chance of revenue earning for the hotel.
Modes of Reservation
- Prospective guests may telephone the hotel directly. This is the most common method of direct reservation communications.
- Mail: Written requests for reservations are common for group, tour and conventional business. Generally, mail requests are sent directly to the reservation department of the destination property.
- Telex, Cable, fax, e-mail and other: Telex is often used to communicate the international reservation requests. Cables fax and other methods of communication account for a small proportion of total reservation transactions.

Monday 10th November 2014
It was really day three of the holiday of a lifetime before we arrived in Sydney but for the purposes of the blog I’ll call it day one. This is of course because traveling half way around the world, literally, means you lose a day in the plane and a day crossing time zones. The flights were surprisingly ok though, the large Qantas Airbus A380 allowed for plenty of leg room to get some sleep.
We arrived in Sydney around 6 am and were soon on our way to the hotel, not before queuing to get through the tough quarantine checkpoint, although we weren’t actually stopped. The taxi ride was an interesting ride, the driver didn’t know where our hotel was; you don’t get that with a London cabbie. Still he got us there eventually. Fortunately when we arrived our hotel room was ready so we were able to unpack before setting off towards central quay to explore. We had a walk around iconic Opera House before grabbing a coffee at the quayside, but tiredness soon caught us up so we returned to the room for a few hours kip.
Mid afternoon and we were back in the land of living so this time we headed for the Sydney Harbour Bridge, crossing it using the footbridge and descending down to the park across the bay. This afforded great views of the city, the bridge and the opera house.
By the time we returned to the south side it was getting dark so we found an Italian restaurant on the quay and ordered some food. The meal was quite expensive, but of good quality. After paying the bill, we walked the short distance back to the hotel and were in bed shortly afterwards. As expected, I failed to get more than a few hours sleep; my body clock still on UK time.

European Border Breakers Music Awards 2015:
The Common Linnets win public choice award
Best Festival Act 2015 is awarded for the first time
The winners of the 2015 European Border Breakers Awards (the ‘EBBA’), highlighting the best new rock and pop musicians and bands in Europe who have achieved cross-border chart success, were honoured this evening at the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in the Dutch city of Groningen. The competition is organised under the European Union’s Creative Europe Programme.
The Common Linnets came out as the big winner of the evening taking away the ‘Public Choice Award’ by an overwhelming amount of online voters. The Dutch group, who performed live at the show, released their debut album ‘The Common Linnets’ last November. Since then the album has received the title ‘Album of the Year’ on iTunes, the Golden status in Germany and Austria and reached the highest sales in 2014 in the Netherlands.
The Common Linnets: ‘We crossed musical borders making the music, and now to be recognized for crossing international borders is very satisfying….The EBBA means that the record has its own legs now, and the group has its own legs now, instead of thriving on that second place at Eurovision. It has its own life.”
The EBBA show also featured outstanding performances by other 2015 winners: Melanie de Biasio (BE), MØ (DK) and Indila (FR) as well as former winner the Ting Tings (UK). The other 2015 EBBA winners – Klangkarussel (AT), Milky Chance (DE), Hozier (IE), Todd Terje (NO), Tove Lo (SE) and John Newman (UK) – could not perform at the show but streamed live messages.
The European Border Breakers Awards are about breaking down borders and recognising up-and-coming European pop, rock and dance musicians and groups who have achieved success in other countries than their own. The most successful ten of them receive, every year, an EBBA during a spectacular TV-show presented by BBC-legend performer and musician Jools Holland. The show, recorded this year at Stadsschouwburg Groningen and broadcast throughout Europe, is organised on the opening evening of Eurosonic Noorderslag, one of the biggest live music industry gathering in Europe.
Previous winners include now established artists such as Adele, Stromae, Mumford and Sons, Kodaline, Woodkid, Disclosure, Nico & Vinz, Selah Sue, Damien Rice, Agnes Obel, Caro Emerald and many more.
These unique European Union music awards aim to highlight Europe’s great cultural and linguistic diversity in pop and rock music and to make it accessible to the largest audiences. With the EBBA, the European Union highlights the success of 10 debuting European artists in selling albums and touring outside their home territory and rewards their talent, as well as their daring, creativity and invention.

Background: Age-related osteoporosis may be associated with inefficient intestinal calcium absorption and bone remodeling.
Objective: We investigated the pathogenesis of age-related osteoporosis in Chinese women with habitual low calcium intakes.
Design: We studied the response of intestinal calcium absorption, calcitropic hormones, and biochemical bone markers to graded dietary calcium deprivation.
Results: The osteoporotic subjects (n = 25) had higher urinary calcium excretion (P < 0.05) and lower plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations (P < 0.02) than did age-matched control women (n = 25). Parathyroid hormone was not significantly different from that in age-matched control women but was significantly higher than in young women (n = 15, P < 0.05). Fractional 45Ca absorption was approximately 61% in all 3 groups when the diet was unmodified and increased to 71%, 69%, and 68% in the osteoporotic subjects, age-matched control women, and young women, respectively, when dietary calcium was reduced to 300 mg/d. When the osteoporotic women were calcium deprived, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D failed to increase but urinary calcium excretion persisted. In contrast, supplementation with 1200 mg Ca resulted in a lowering of parathyroid hormone (P < 0.005 compared with the unmodified diet) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (P < 0.01) and decreased fractional 45Ca absorption (P < 0.01), suggesting that the increased calcium intake was associated with a potent compensatory ability of the intestine and calcitropic hormones to adapt. Calcium supplementation lowered osteocalcin (P < 0.05) but not alkaline phosphatase, which remained elevated in the osteoporotic subjects at all stages.
Conclusions: Elderly osteoporotic women had reduced 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production, excessive urinary calcium loss, and high bone turnover. The Chinese women had exceptionally potent intestinal calcium absorption.

ArnoldSchwarzenegger versus a Vegetarian – Muscular Bodybuilding Protein Diet Contest – 222 – 8
VEGETARIAN is Worlds Biggest Bodybuilder on Plant Muscle Protein Diet Great Khali Eats No Meat
Image by vegetarians-dominate-meat-eaters-01
The BIGGEST BODY BUILDER in the WORLD is VEGETARIAN!
Bodybuilders already know that meat is a horrible source of protein. All the smarter championship level Bodybuiders AVOID red meat. Think about it. Bodybuilding stores do Not sell beef powder, fish drinks, or chicken protein bars. ALL of the protein supplements for muscle building are whey protein, soy, or albumin egg protein, ALL Vegetarian.
Any person touting steak for protein or muscle is not educated on the subject of muscle building. Anyone attempting to erroneously say that plants dont contain protein for building muscle is not realizing that the steak they are touting came from a bull who grew to the massive size of 2,000 pounds of pure muscle, ALL from eating the protein in plants!
A Bull eating plant protein is also more muscular, stronger, and more massive than an obese male eating pieces of steak and hamburgers. Muscle from the protein in plants from a Vegetarian diet is stronger, more massive and higher quality muscle than that from meat. In addition meat is soaked with female hormones such as Estradiol, so men eating steak are juicing themselves with female hormones such as estrogen in Beef.
Eating pieces of meat makes you more feminine. Don’t think there’s feminine estradiol put in steak? Go look. Simply type "Estradiol Synovex Cattle" into google and you’ll see premenstrual women’s estrogenic hormones like synovex put into your steak that you’ve been gobbling at your barbeques. That’s why men who eat lots of meat gradually become fat, rounded, with soft shoulders and wide hips and more effeminate. This is why Vegetarian men are more masculine and do not have this problem.

Using the instant pot ensures that the meat in this restaurant classic dish – Beef and Broccoli comes out so meltingly-tender and very tasty, too! Easy to follow directions so you’re guaranteed to have the most delicious results every time!
This was our dinner tonight and everyone loved it! My hubby really enjoyed it and both my kids ate a lot of it, too that there’s hardly any left-overs left for tomorrow!
Oh well, that’s ok. I consider that a huge dinner success in my book! As you can see from the photos, it came out so delicious and that sauce – I drizzled it all over the rice.
It has the perfect balance of flavors – hints of saltiness, slight sweetness, sesame goodness and umami deliciousness all over!
Is this Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli recipe difficult to make?
Certainly not! The hardest, if you can even call it that – is the slicing of the meat! Apart from that it’s pretty straightforward to make!
In fact, follow the instructions as is and there’s no need to make extra preparations beforehand except for the meat-slicing part!
Which Cut of Beef to Use?
For this recipe, you can use chuck roast, flank steak, skirt steak or sirloin steak. They have enough fat in their layers to give them flavor and works so well with this sweet-salty complex-flavored sauce.
If you prefer a leaner cut of meat, I’ve also tried this with beef round steak or roast. Simply slice it thinly and against the grain.
If you feel your slices won’t be even or that the cut won’t be as clean as you want it to be, stick the meat in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. Cold meat cuts better than meat at room temperature.
Can I use other types of meat?
Yes, you can make this pressure cooker beef and broccoli recipe with chicken. Simply adjust the cooking time because chicken cooks faster (see your instant pot instructional manual for guidance on cooking chicken chunks). I suggest using the darker meat like thighs so they absorb more flavor and won’t dry out.
Can I use frozen broccoli?
Yes, you can use frozen broccoli for this instant pot beef and broccoli recipe. Fresh florets are preferred, but if you don’t have access to fresh broccoli, simply replace it with the frozen ones.
Do I need to add sesame oil?
Don’t omit the sesame oil if possible because it enhances the flavor of this dish. In fact, I add it at the end instead of cooking it with the meat so that it retains its aroma and flavor.
So what are you waiting for? Make it soon. I can assure you this would become a family favorite! Serve with rice!
If you like what you see and would like to receive new recipe updates, we’d love you to subscribe to our posts or join our site. Needless to say, we’d love you to like us on Facebook and Instagram, too where you can get more recipes and updates. Thanks and happy browsing!
Easy and Tasty Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli
Using the instant pot ensures that the meat in this restaurant classic dish - Beef and Broccoli comes out so meltingly-tender and very tasty, too! Easy to follow directions so you're guaranteed to have the most delicious results every time!
- 2 tbsp oil
chuck roast, sirloin steak, or flank steak,
sliced into thin strips and seasoned with freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, but it enhances the flavor so add if you have it)
- ¾ cup water
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large broccoli heads, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp sesame oil
Select “saute” setting on the Instant Pot and heat oil. When the oil is ready, brown the meat in batches. I divide the meat into 3 batches. Transfer to a plate.
As the beef cooks, mix together in a bowl in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and water.
Once the beef is done, add a little oil to the instant pot, if needed. Quickly saute the minced garlic and grated ginger until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce mixture and deglaze the pan so there are no stuck browned bits at the bottom. Turn off saute setting.
Return the meat. Lock the lid in place. Make sure the valve is in sealing position. Adjust the setting to manual then cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.
When the cooking time ends, do a quick pressure release. Set the valve to the venting position and when the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Add the cornstarch diluted with water and stir everything until smooth. Turn on the "saute" setting again. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 minutes or just until tender but not mushy. Add the sesame oil and give it a quick stir.
Taste and adjust seasoning with a little salt, if needed. Serve immediately with rice.
TIPS & TRICKS
If you desire to use a leaner cut of meat, you can choose the beef round roast or steak. Make sure to slice thinly and against the grain.
My husband and I loved this dish! The chuck roast came out so tender, and that sauce had such a wonderful depth of flavor. We’ll definitely make this again, especially considering how easy the Instant Pot makes it!
What a great dinner idea! I love that this is made in the instant pot and the flavors and incredible. A total keeper of a recipe!
You are right! This is so easy to make in the Instant Pot. I like to make it and serve it over cauliflower rice for a healthy option. It turns out great.
This Instant pot beef and broccoli looks yum.
This was delicious, and I loved that I could make it so quickly in my IP!
The kids even tried it! The broccoli wasn’t the favourite but it never is, but they loved the sauce and the beef.
I still can’t believe something this good was made in an instant pot. It’s delicious!!!
What a lovely dinner idea. Meat looks perfectly cooked and so flavorful, soft, and delicious. I’m going to give it a try.
I used about 1,5 pounds of chuck roast from my local butcher, and it was delicious!
Beef and broccoli is such an easy dinner any night of the week. Easy meals that are deliciouis. Leftovers are great too.
1st time to make this and I’m blown away! Foolproof recipe I will be keeping on my rotation thanks
So glad you enjoyed this! Yay! It’s one of our favorite dishes for sure!
Hi. This looks delish & will try it. For the broccoli, how much is needed in terms of weight? Thanks!
You can put a pound of broccoli if you like.
Dont have an insta pot so I’m guessing it’s easy enough to make on a stovetop
Just adjust it for the stovetop and do not overcook the meat. Enjoy.
Loved this! First instant pot “stir fry” type dish that has actually tasted better than ordering take out.
Wow! You made my day! Thank you so much for letting us know. Glad you enjoyed this.

Pillowy Soft Script Fonts
We end our three-part newsletter series on packaging design with a look at the scripts so commonly seen at the supermarket and drugstore. This edition features a list of fonts that effectively emulate the hand drawn lettering that appears on dryer sheets, paper towels, and hand soap.
If they somehow slipped into your junk box or trash (for shame!) here are links to the web versions of the FontShop Newsletters featuring the fonts of package design:

Theft, fraud, and hardware tampering are enhanced in the digital age. Your life savings, your rainy day fund, and even your PayPal account you only use for drunken Amazon purchases are at risk. How disappointed the inebriated version of yourself would be at the inability to purchase a custom pillow with Bruce Lee's face on it – and even worse, if you need to make an emergency purchase and your accounts are wiped clean.
There are some legitimate concerns about anonymity to be considered as well. Whether you're concerned with government data collection, avoiding data sharing between merchants, or simply ruining a good surprise, staying anonymous while making a purchase is of extreme importance. Not only are anonymous purchases good for protecting your data – but the less you expose your identity online the less chance you have to compromise your personal data – financial or otherwise.
“More information is collected than ever before
when you swipe your card for something as
simple as a pack of gum or toothpaste.” -Forbes
Bitlox is a new hardware Bitcoin wallet that takes software security into consideration while also providing features never-before-seen features in hardware wallets for physical security. Imagine a scenario – you are traveling and you leave your Hardware Bitcoin wallet in your hotel room along with your laptop. You won't need them while touring the Louvre, now will you? You get back, turn on your computer and login to your administrator account with your password and make an online purchase, taking care to properly enter all of your credit card information. When you check your bill next month, you see a veritable cornucopia of unconfirmed charges. What happened?
Well, while you were out biking around Paris, someone slipped into your room and performed an Evil Maid Attack. These kinds of attacks replace or install components on your computer – such as keyloggers. All of your keystrokes were logged and reported to the attacker, who then used the information in order to make purchases online. And it could have been worse.
“If someone gets physical access to your computer and you aren’t using disk encryption,
they can very easily steal all of your files.” -TheIntercept
Now imagine the same scenario with the Bitlox Extreme Privacy Set. When your hardware can easily be compromised, instead of using a credit card, you send Bitcoin using your Bitlox Wallet connected to Tails OS. (Read more on Tails here). Even if attackers were to gain access to your computer, there would be no trace of anything you did while using Tails – and even if they got a keylogger installed that connected to your Bitlox account, they could not steal any money without the hardware itself.
Even if attackers stole your Bitlox and replaced it with an identical model with malicious hardware, the Anti Evil Maid features would immediately notify you.
Bitlox is the first hardware wallet that not only has user verification to the hardware, but also hardware verification to the user. This is the only way you can be sure this is YOUR Bitlox.
This, among a plethora of other security features such as hidden wallets, fake wallets, immediate erasing PINs, and much much more, makes the Bitlox Extreme Privacy package the ultimate in security and anonymity for users concerned with keeping their identities, and their funds, safe from all kinds of attacks.

THE DIRTY SIDE
THROWN DOWN THICK AND DIRTY
MEET THE TEAM
I’ve been in the construction industry my whole life, building is in my blood. In my former life I was a general contractor in NV, CA and MD… doing everything from flipping houses in Baltimore to building ultra high end homes in Tahoe. I studied engineering at UNR and just figured I’d continue on building for the rest of my life.
Then concrete found me (by mistake actually) and my world changed. I’ll never forget looking at the ugliest pile of furniture I’ve ever lain eyes on and yet it resonated on a very deep level. So I followed my gut and went all in. August 9th 2013 I woke up and thought no better time than the present. That day was when I took the biggest leap of faith anyone could possibly imagine. With absolutely zero knowledge of furniture or concrete I decided to devote the rest of my life to it.
Since then my journey has been interesting to say the least. In the pursuit of my passion, I’ve experienced the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. I lived and slept on my office floor for 824 days living, breathing and loving this new found passion. This is what I do. My passion, my obsession, my joy and most importantly my ART. Dylan

At least our media world is excited about the State of the Union speech tonight. As for us, we'll have 3 of the grandsons so I seriously doubt we'll be seeing much of it. However, much of what will be in the speech has already been leaked and it got me to thinking. Shocker, I know.
If it's true the president will be asking for tax hikes and free higher education and other things, I suggest this: No making of any federal budget until it is known how much income will be coming in through this year's taxes. Then make the budget to fit the available monies. The budget needs to contain necessary items first and if any money is left over, other things can be funded.
Just like the average person has to do. Call me naive.

During the Beatles’ 1964 and 1965 American tours, Capitol Records recorded three performances at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles with the intention of releasing a live album. But the quality was lacking, and the project was shelved until 1977, when George Martin remastered the tapes and compiled the best versions of songs into The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl.
Bangs, in Circus magazine, spoke not so much of the music contained on Hollywood Bowl — he says nothing about it at all, in fact — but rather the Beatles phenomenon as a ‘secret shared’: either you get the Beatles or you don’t. And getting the Beatles isn’t necessarily the same as liking their music. Bangs speculates how it must feel for the posthumous Fab Four, collectively revered but as individuals not so much, and quotes a statistic relating to the enormous sales of posters, specifically those of the Fonz and Farrah Fawcett. He uses this information as the media uses it: a cultural barometer of how famous the Beatles once were. But shifting units has nothing to do it. For Bangs, hearing Lennon introduce songs on Hollywood Bowl, which he does with humour and irreverence, ‘triggers vistas’. The Beatles, writes Bangs, seemed to be ‘code to a private, yet internationally shared, universe.’
I feel that was the case with Motörhead at the Ardwick Apollo, with Lemmy paraphrasing Lennon when introducing one of their own songs (Overkill). “This next song is an oldie,” Lemmy told the Manchester audience, “some of you older people might remember.” At school a small handful of friends were as obsessive about Beatles lore as me. They had other interests, but the Beatles were a litmus by which all else could be measured, so it seemed. I did not attend any of the Hollywood Bowl concerts. (Bangs did.) My Beatles experience is not lived experience in that respect, as I was rather too young for the phenomenon as it unfolded. The Beatles have always been history to me, and as history they remain both real and unreal.
What I did witness first-hand was the Beatles Renaissance, the reinvented popularity that has seen super deluxe album reissues, a videogame, and the Disney bankrolling of the revamped Beatles swan song Let It Be, released theatrically later this year. Arguably it started with The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, which met with critical and commercial success on its release.
When the Beatles Book spoke of the 1965 US tour it was in its usual incumbent way. The fan monthly for all things Beatles offers a brief account of the Hollywood Bowl concerts in its twenty-seventh issue (October 1965). The concert on Sunday, August 29, the first of two nights at the Bowl that year, is said to have been preceded by ‘one of the largest and most efficient press conferences of the tour’ and an award of gold discs from Capital Records for Help! Nothing in the Beatles Book is likely to upset the lovable mop top image. The account continues with the boys being driven from Capital Records in an armoured truck, a fan in the Hollywood Bowl car park giving birth to a baby boy, and 17,999 people in attendance at the concert. There’s a nice moment in Ron Howard’s documentary Eight Days a Week. Among the celebrities who recount the impact the Beatles made on their lives, an interview with actress Sigourney Weaver cuts to b&w footage of one of the Hollywood Bowl concerts, the face of a little Sigourney Weaver in the crowd, caught by the camera in passing.
Lester Bangs did not review the Hollywood Bowl album. He pointed at it and showed why it made no sense to compare the Beatles to the Bay City Rollers, or debate whether posters of the Fonz and Farrah Fawcett outnumber sales of Beatles records. What he was saying was that something more profound exists: a code, a secret shared, a television ad for The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. And that, at some future point, I would not find it.
Note: At the top of the page is a flavour of what the television ad looked like, a rough impression of what I recall of it. This is not an authentic ad but a loose facsimile. It includes the soundtrack of screams and silent film imagery. As noted, I am pretty sure Phantom of the Opera was in there. However there was no Lennon soundbite — that’s included for a bit of fun. The whole thing is a bit of fun but perhaps it might encourage further investigation or jog some memories.

For several years now, virtualization has been the hottest topic in the IT industry. When virtualization first hit the mainstream in the early 2000s, it revolutionized the server computing world. Whereas once an organization would have purchased and deployed a physical server for each critical workload, virtualization made it possible for a single physical server to consolidate several workloads onto a single box. As a result, chip manufacturers and server hardware vendors took notice and began producing more powerful servers capable of handling more tasks in parallel. Today, it is not uncommon for a single physical server to have in excess of 32 CPU cores and 512 GB of memory while hosting 50 or more running virtual machines. Virtualization technology is a combination of hardware and software. Chip manufacturers such as Intel and AMD provide virtualization capabilities in their processors, and the virtualization software provided by companies such as VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, RedHat, and Oracle leverage these capabilities. The predominant virtualization software solutions available today include VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. It is important to note that the concept of virtualization has evolved from its origins in server computing and is now found in other technology areas, including networking.
Virtualization technology continues to be one of the most valuable areas of IT and it offers many benefits to organizations of all sizes. Virtualization has reduced the cost, overhead, and burden of administering a modern IT infrastructure. However, in changing the rules of the game, virtualization has also added a layer of complexity that didn’t exist before. Whether it is the administration of dozens of virtualized hosts within a datacenter or the adoption of overlay networks on top of an existing infrastructure, Telecom Computer is uniquely qualified to assist you with your virtualization. Our team of systems engineers would be happy to meet with you and discuss the solutions available. We specialize in VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix server virtualization products, as well as VMware’s NSX network virtualization solution.
