Major John Seymour Wynne Finch (1845-1906) Kings Royal Rifle Corps.
After attending Radley College and Sandhurst, Wynne-Finch was first commissioned as an Ensign in the 53rd Regiment, before purchasing a commission in the KRRC in 1864. He served as Aide De Camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He transferred to the Royal Horse Guards in 1875.
He was a member of Special embassies to Foreign Courts in 1878, 1881, and 1901.
After retiring from the army in 1885 he was a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron. He died in London in 1906 at the age of 60.
His father, Charles Griffiths Wynne-Finch served as the MP for Caernarvon. His brother, Charles, served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Scots Guards.
This sword was sold by Henry Wilkinson and Son on the 12th of January 1865 to “Wynne Fynch Esq”.
Regulation single fullered 32 inch blade with Wilkinson makers marking and proof slug to either ricasso. Above the proof slug in an etched panel are the initials “J.S.W.F” There is also a strung bugle, crowned VR cypher and the standard foliate engraving. The blade is numbered to the spine 13608, and etched with a centre of percussion marking.
The blade is generally bright with fully legible, clear etching. It has a good amount of original polish, as well as areas of scattered light staining.
The guard, back strap and pommel have had black paint applied, leaving the crowned strung bugle device bright. This is not something I have encountered before, but makes for a very attractive hilt.
The hilt and blade are solid with no movement.
The steel scabbard has been skillfully clad in leather, and has a Sam Brown style webbing attachment. A small panel of the leather is now missing, revealing the steel scabbard below.
The unusual combination of features on this sword lead me to believe that the young Lieutenant Wynne-Finch took his swordsmanship very seriously and wanted a weapon which he could depend upon. A serious and attractive sword.
Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched.

Abubakar Kawu Baraje, former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says even if the north-central produces the next party chairman, the zone will still vie for the presidency in 2023.
The opposition party has already agreed to zone the national chairmanship to the north.
In a statement on Tuesday, Baraje said people of the north-central in the party will follow the national executive committee’s (NEC) directive that zoning of party offices will not affect who flies the party flags for various elective offices.
“From the late chief Solomon Lar, Chief Audu Ogbeh, Dr. Ahmadu Alli, Chief Barnabas Gemade, and myself, all of us from North Central have led the party at different times. Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and Alhaji Adamu Muazu from north-east have emerged as national chairman while Dr. Haliru Bello spent only one year as acting chairman with Sen. Ahmed Makarfi who served as caretaker chairman,” he said.
“With this history, in the spirit of fairness and equity, the north-west is most suitable to produce the next chairman.
“We have noted that some leaders outside the north-central zone are scheming and exerting a lot of energy to push the national chairmanship position to the north-central zone to ensure that the post is not in their zone.
“If the chairman eventually comes from the north-central zone, it is just an extra for us. Presidential aspirants from the zones will still vie for the post.
“Let it be noted that it is our position in the north-central zone that we stand by the earlier announcement by the party leadership that the presidential ticket will be free for all qualified aspirants to seek. We believe the party should respect its publicly declared position.
“It is not in the interest of the party for leaders to impose their will on the people.”
Baraje added that anyone who flies the PDP flag in 2023 should be who the party members want.

New Band of the Day @ The Guardian on July 29th!!!
"This bafflingly brilliant Brazilian's 'sci-fi torch songs' sound like jungle music from a galaxy far, far away"
-Paul Lester, The Guardian
"...evocative of the great French singers of the sixties and seventies like Françoise Hardy, and other hand, feline and experimental...a collection of stylized songs full of expressionism, avant-pop textures and noir fantasies." -Felinno blog (*spanish translation my own)
"It’s absolutely stunning...This is a music that is completely its own... “Last Night, I Lit the Moon” is a subtle, but ambitiously bold marrying of human possibility and the concept album...As soon as you begin to build a picture of this fictive nom de plume, she disappears behind macabre melody, shadowy lyricism and unearthly imagination. These tracks come highly recommended"
- Their Bated Breath
"Lyrically, it's David Bowie meets Scott Walker: Anna-Anna's creations aren't just songs, they're poems that will take a breath or two out of you. The pieces in Last Night I Lit The Moon may come from a very personal place, but they also speak to the universal human experience. Perhaps the best way to describe her music is in her own words: "Basically the idea that we can re-organize "reality" according to our dreams, not the other way around ... the idea that music provides alternate models of existence that can be inhabited by anyone."

Atalissa men are still being exploited
Many Iowans breathed a sigh of relief in 2009 when the Atalissa bunkhouse run by a Texas labor broker, Henry’s Turkey Service, was shut down and its 31 mentally disabled residents were moved to care facilities and the homes of relatives.
But although the labor camp was shut down six years ago, the horrific exploitation of the hard-working men who lived there continues to this day.
This week, the U.S. Department of Justice went to court seeking an emergency order to block an “elaborate scheme” that is allegedly intended to “further victimize” the disabled men who, for decades, collected just 41 cents an hour to work in a meat-processing plant while living in a century-old schoolhouse on the edge of town.
The federal government alleges that company owner Kenneth Henry is attempting to transfer assets to protect them from seizure so they can’t be used pay off the $5.9 million in judgments, fines and penalties imposed against Henry’s Turkey Service between 2011 and 2013.
According to the DOJ, one element of this scheme involves a land transfer that took place in 2011, shortly after the feds secured a $1.7 million judgment against the company for wage-and-hour violations. Three weeks after receiving a demand for payment, Henry allegedly transferred $325,000 worth of real estate that he owned in Proctor, Texas, to his daughter, Robin Aaberg.
Then, the following summer, Henry’s Turkey Service — which did business in Texas under the name Hill Country Farms — sued various business partners in a land dispute, claiming that it owned a 50 percent interest in 551 acres of land in Texas. But two years later, in the face of mounting court judgments against Henry’s, the company quietly assigned its $600,000 stake in the disputed land to the children of Henry’s late founder, Thurman Johnson.
In court filings, the DOJ calls this arrangement, documented in a “confidential agreement” that was subpoenaed by government lawyers, an “elaborate subterfuge” intended to perpetrate a fraud against the disabled Iowans who were subjected to years of “grotesque and prolonged labor violations” in Atalissa.
None of this should come as a surprise to the county and state officials who refused to prosecute Henry’s owners for any of the dozens of thoroughly documented crimes that were committed in Atalissa, including dependent-adult abuse in the form of both financial exploitation and the denial of critical care.
At the time, Attorney General Tom Miller chose to forgo prosecution, preferring to let the federal government sue the owners in civil court, despite the fact that no action had been taken to freeze the company’s dwindling assets. Newly released court records show that in the immediate aftermath of the bunkhouse being closed, Kenneth Henry’s net worth was $3 million. But just two years later, it had dropped to $1.6 million.
Even if the government succeeds in laying claim to the $600,000 now being sought, it won’t come close to paying off the obligations of Henry’s Turkey Service. Court records indicate that of the $5.9 million in fines and judgments levied against the company between 2011 and 2013, at least $4.7 million remains unpaid.
To their credit, the U.S. Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are not giving up on what they call “exhaustive and diligent efforts” to collect on that debt.
In the meantime, the men who were subjected to what Iowa’s labor commissioner once called “37-plus years of secrets, neglect and deplorable actions” are growing old. Many are in their 60s or 70s. At least one has already died.
At some point, the remaining men or their estates will undoubtedly collect something in the way of financial compensation for the years of abuse they suffered. But if it’s justice they’re looking for, they’re out of luck.

INDIA. Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked Anil Parab, Maharashtra Transport Minister and a close aide of chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, to remain present before ED officials for inquiry on Tuesday morning.
On Sunday evening Parab received a notice from the ED asking him to remain present in its office. Parab confirmed having received the notice but said that the ED notice has not specified the topic about which it wants to interrogate him.
The ED notice came days after a video clip of Parab, asking the Ratnagiri police to arrest Union minister Narayan Rane without waiting for an arrest warrant went viral. The notice is expected to revive the tussle between the Centre and the state government. Parab is the third person in the ruling Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) to receive an ED notice after former home minister Anil Deshmukh and Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik.
Speaking o the “Transcontinental Times”, Parab said that “Today evening I received a notice from ED. It does not mention any case. It says I have to remain present in their office on August 31 at 11 am. At this moment, I will not be able to say in which case this notice has been served.” “ I Will not comment now, I will respond legally after studying the matter. The notice says that I am called as part of an investigation. We were expecting such a move, so now we will examine it legally and respond to it.”
He refrained from linking it to the past week’s developments where Rane was arrested. In a video clip that went viral, Parab, in an apparent conversation with police officials, was heard saying, “Hello, what are you people doing? Have you detained him or not?. The High Court and sessions court had rejected his bail application. The matter will linger on. Then use the police force.” Parab was audible as he was sitting before open microphones on the table for a press conference.
In meanwhile Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that the centre’s move was expected. “We will fight it legally after examining the notice. The Centre has made Parab responsible for Rane’s arrest. He said that such notices would not have any impact on the stability of the Shiv Sena-led MVA government. Instead, it will only make their resolve to fight the Centre even stronger.
Raut referred to the ‘chronology’ and the timing of the notice. A few days ago, a union minister, who used unparliamentary language against the chief minister, was arrested in Ratnagiri. As soon as the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ ended, the government at the top sent a love letter from ED to Parab, who is the guardian minister of Ratnagiri. “We have not threatened anyone. We will fight it legally”.
However, according to sources, ED might be planning to grill Parab in the light of the revelation by the arrested former police officer Sachin Vaze that he was receiving extortion instructions from former home minister Anil Deshmukh and Anil Parab.

Generative piece _ Creative coding sketch
Simulation with vectors and noise function using an Object Oriented Programming methodology
In a context of extreme police violence, of political corruption and of the vulnerability of freedom of press, it was unbearable not to react to my country's political climate from abroad.
Mediapart, the French independent newspaper which gathered all the abuse done during the Yellow Vests protests, revealed all of Benalla’s crimes and incriminated the Presidency itself, was threatened to suffer from a raid inside its headquarters on February 4th 2019.
By illegally orchestrating this raid inside Mediapart’s headquarters, the executive power was trying to get to its sources and therefore abused the constitution itself. France has previously been condemned by the European courts of human rights for directly threatening the confidentiality of journalists’ sources, which as a result directly challenged freedom of press and therefore the democracy itself.

The poet guests have arrived carting their suitcases of books and waving their pocket poems in the air. Expect to see them sprouting like snowdrops and daffodils across the Canadian landscape. April nudges the scribes from their wintry abodes to share their words with the public.
This year, the League of Canadian Poets (LCP) shares the news in a black, white and gold poster trumpeting the words “Celebrating twenty years of National Poetry Month in Canada.” Similar to other years, the 30-day party will prod people to experience the power of poetry: write or read a poem a day or think outside the box and create personal poetic memories. Mayors and municipal politicians can expect visits from poets during their council meetings. Students may find a poet or two in their schools. Libraries may offer special writing workshops.
Expect Canadian publishers to be launching new books and literary organizations to be spotlighting poetry readings by well-known and lesser-known poets. Check out the League website for a list of events happening in your area plus information about their 700 plus members in Canada.


All internet users are aware of the terms modem and router, but a majority of them, especially the non-technical or naïve users are not aware of the difference between modem and router. This is because most of the internet service providers give both of these or a combo of these as a part of the internet package.
Difference between Modem and Router
The basic difference between the two is that modem is used to connect to the internet, whereas a router is used to connect your various devices to the Wi-Fi.
Let’s understand the difference between modem and router in detail.
A model is a medium of connection between the source of your internet right from your internet service provider to your home. It can be through cable network, fibre optics, satellite or a dial-up phone connection. The modem is either connected to a router at your home or directly to the computer. As modems used in each of these different types of services are different, they cannot be used interchangeably. Most of the internet service providers give modems as a part of the internet package.
Once the internet connection reaches your home through a modem, you can connect that modem to your router to create a private network connecting various devices to the Wi-Fi. Connecting to Wi-Fi simply means that you are connected to a local router, which in turn is connected to a modem. The wireless routers are used to stream content which most of the urban consumers watch these days on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.
While it makes sense to take modem from the service provider, in case of a router, it is always advised to buy one. This is because then you can buy the one based on your requirements and with advanced features in case you love to play games. The service provider will also provide you with a basic model which might not suffice your needs.
Sometimes people prefer to go with a combo device where the modems have integrated routers. Many service providers rent out these combo devices. The combined unit has its own advantages like you need space for only one device. But generally, these are not advised because if one circuit breaks, the whole device becomes useless. Also, if you want to upgrade any one device, it is not possible. However, if you are not very tech-savvy and only need some basic working device, then this combo can be an ideal choice for you.
In a nutshell, if you see the major difference between modem and router, a modem is a bridge between your local network and the Internet, whereas a router sits in between your Internet connection and your private local network. You can use any router you want based on your needs and requirements. When it comes to the modem, it has to be approved by the internet service provider to function with their network.

Rhabdomyolysis: advances in diagnosis and treatment.
Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a breakdown of skeletal muscle and the release of the intracellular contents into the circulatory system. There are many possible causes, including crush injury, excessive muscular activity, medications, infections, and varied metabolic, connective tissue, rheumatologic, and endocrine disorders. It is vital that emergency clinicians consider the diagnosis when patients present with circumstances known to be high-risk for rhabdomyolysis, including intoxication, prolonged immobilization, and/or altered mentation. Optimal crystalloid selection is still debated, but immediate, aggressive intravenous volume expansion is indicated to prevent myoglobinuric renal failure. Serum potassium levels must be obtained and electrocardiograms must be evaluated to identify life- and limb-threatening complications of hyperkalemia. This review examines the current evidence on symptoms and diagnostic methods as well as standard first-line treatments of rhabdomyolysis. In addition, evidence from animal models on urine alkalinization with sodium bicarbonate infusion is discussed.

gloomy blood sugar is when your blood sugar levels have fallen low adequate that you need to take natural process to bring them back to your prey compass. This is normally when your lineage sugar is less than 70 mg/dL. however, speak to your diabetes care team about your own blood sugar targets, and what charge is besides low for you .
low rake carbohydrate may besides be referred to as an insulin reaction, or insulin shock .
Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (happen quickly)
Each person ‘s reaction to depleted blood sugar is different. Learn your own signs and symptoms of when your blood sugar is first gear. Taking time to write these symptoms down may help you learn your own symptoms of when your blood boodle is low. From balmy, more park indicators to most severe, signs and symptoms of low lineage carbohydrate include :
Reading: Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Glucose)
Being nervous or anxious
Sweating, chills and clamminess
Irritability or impatience
Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
Color draining from the skin (pallor)
Feeling weak or having no energy
Tingling or numbness in the lips, tongue or cheeks
Coordination problems, clumsiness
Nightmares or crying out during sleep
The only sure way to know whether you are experiencing low blood sugar is to check your blood sugar, if possible. If you are experiencing symptoms and you are unable to check your blood sugar for any reason, treat the hypoglycemia.
A first gear blood sugar level triggers the release of epinephrine ( epinephrine ), the “ fight-or-flight ” hormone. Epinephrine is what can cause the symptoms of hypoglycemia such as thumping heart, sweating, tingling and anxiety .
If the rake sugar level continues to drop, the mind does not get enough glucose and stop functioning as it should. This can lead to film over vision, difficulty concentrate, confused think, slurred lecture, apathy, and sleepiness. If lineage carbohydrate stays first gear for besides retentive, starving the brain of glucose, it may lead to seizures, coma and identical rarely end .
Treatment—The “15-15 Rule”
The 15-15 rule—have 15 grams of carbohydrate to raise your blood sugar and check it after 15 minutes. If it’s still below 70 mg/dL, have another serving.
Repeat these steps until your blood boodle is at least 70 mg/dL. once your blood sugar is back to normal, eat a meal or bite to make sure it doesn ’ t lower again .
This may be :
Glucose tablets (see instructions)
Gel tube (see instructions)
4 ounces (1/2 cup) of juice or regular soda (not diet)
1 tablespoon of sugar, honey, or corn syrup
Hard candies, jellybeans or gumdrops—see food label for how many to consume
Make a note about any episodes of low blood sugar and spill the beans with your health care team about why it happened. They can suggest ways to avoid humble blood sugar in the future .
many people tend to want to eat vitamin a much as they can until they feel well. This can cause rake carbohydrate levels to shoot way up. Using the step-wise approach of the “ 15-15 govern ” can help you avoid this, preventing gamey blood sugar levels .
Young children usually need less than 15 grams of carbs to fix a low blood sugar level: Infants may need 6 grams, toddlers may need 8 grams, and small children may need 10 grams. This needs to be individualized for the patient, so discuss the amount needed with your diabetes team.
When treating a low, the choice of carbohydrate source is important. Complex carbohydrates, or foods that contain fats along with carbs (like chocolate) can slow the absorption of glucose and should not be used to treat an emergency low.
When moo blood carbohydrate international relations and security network ’ thymine treated and you need person to help you recover, it is considered a hard event .
Treating severe hypoglycemia
Glucagon is a hormone produced in the pancreas that stimulates your liver to release store glucose into your bloodstream when your rake carbohydrate levels are excessively humble. Glucagon is used to treat person with diabetes when their blood sugar is excessively low to treat using the 15-15 govern .
Glucagon is available by prescription and is either inject or administered or puffed into the nostril. For those who are familiar with injectable glucagon, there are now two injectable glucagon products on the market—one that comes in a kit out and one that is pre-mixed and ready to use. Speak with your doctor about whether you should buy a glucagon product, and how and when to use it .
The people you are in frequent contact with ( for model, friends, kin members and coworkers ) should be instructed on how to give you glucagon to treat severe hypoglycemia. If you have needed glucagon, let your doctor know so you can discuss ways to prevent dangerous hypoglycemia in the future .
Find products for dealing with low blood glucose
Steps for treating a person with symptoms keeping them from being able to treat themselves.
If the glucagon is injectable, inject it into the buttock, arm or thigh, following the instructions in the kit. If your glucagon is inhalable, follow the instructions on the package to administer it into the nostril.
When the person regains consciousness (usually in 5-15 minutes), they may experience nausea and vomiting.
Don’t hesitate to call 911. If someone is unconscious and glucagon is not available or someone does not know how to use it, call 911 immediately.
Inject insulin (it will lower the person’s blood sugar even more)
Provide food or fluids (they can choke)
Causes of low blood sugar
low blood sugar is coarse for people with type 1 diabetes and can occur in people with type 2 diabetes taking insulin or certain medications. The average person with type 1 diabetes may experience up to two episodes of mild moo blood sugar each week, and that ’ s merely counting episodes with symptoms. If you add in lows without symptoms and the ones that happen overnight, the number would probable be higher .
excessively much insulin is a definite induce of low blood boodle. One reason newer insulins are preferred over NPH and regular insulin is that they ’ rhenium less likely to cause blood boodle lows, peculiarly overnight. Insulin pumps may besides reduce the risk for low blood sugar. by chance injecting the wrong insulin type, besides much insulin, or injecting directly into the muscle ( alternatively of equitable under the skin ), can cause humble blood boodle .
What you eat can cause low blood carbohydrate, including :
Not enough carbohydrates.
Eating foods with less carbohydrate than usual without reducing the amount of insulin taken.
Timing of insulin based on whether your carbs are from liquids versus solids can affect blood sugar levels. Liquids are absorbed much faster than solids, so timing the insulin dose to the absorption of glucose from foods can be tricky.
The composition of the meal—how much fat, protein, and fiber are present—can also affect the absorption of carbohydrates.
exercise has many benefits. The crafty thing for people with type 1 diabetes is that it can lower blood sugar in both the short and long-run. about half of children in a type 1 diabetes study who exercised an hour during the day experienced a low rake sugar chemical reaction nightlong. The intensity, duration and time of exercise can all affect the risk for going depleted .
many people with diabetes, peculiarly those who use insulin, should have a medical ID with them at all times .
In the event of a severe hypoglycemic episode, a car accident or other hand brake, the aesculapian ID can provide critical data about the person ‘s health status, such as the fact that they have diabetes, whether or not they use insulin, whether they have any allergies, etc. Emergency medical personnel are trained to look for a medical idaho when they are caring for person who ca n’t speak for themselves .
checkup IDs are normally worn as a bracelet or a necklace. traditional IDs are etched with basic, identify health information about the person, and some IDs now include pack USB drives that can carry a person ‘s full medical record for use in an hand brake .
very often, hypoglycemia symptoms occur when blood boodle levels fall below 70 mg/dL. As unpleasant as they may be, the symptoms of moo blood boodle are useful. These symptoms tell you that you your lineage sugar is low and you need to take action to bring it back into a dependable roll. But, many people have blood sugar readings below this level and feel no symptoms. This is called hypoglycemia unknowingness .
People with hypoglycemia unknowingness ca n’t tell when their blood carbohydrate gets moo so they don ’ t know they need to treat it. Hypoglycemia unknowingness puts the person at increased hazard for severe low blood sugar reactions ( when they need person to help them recover ). People with hypoglycemia unknowingness are besides less likely to be awakened from sleep when hypoglycemia occurs at night. People with hypoglycemia unknowingness necessitate to take extra wish to check blood carbohydrate frequently. This is particularly important prior to and during critical tasks such as driving. A continuous glucose monitor ( CGM ) can sound an dismay when rake sugar levels are first gear or start to fall. This can be a big assistant for people with hypoglycemia unknowingness .
Hypoglycemia unknowingness occurs more frequently in those who :
Frequently have low blood sugar episodes (which can cause you to stop sensing the early warning signs of hypoglycemia).
Have had diabetes for a long time.
Tightly control their diabetes (which increases your chances of having low blood sugar reactions).
If you think you have hypoglycemia unknowingness, talk with your health care supplier. Your health worry supplier may adjust/raise your blood sugar targets to avoid far hypoglycemia and risk of future episodes .
Regaining hypoglycemia awareness
It ’ s possible to get your early warning symptoms back by avoiding any, even mild, hypoglycemia for respective weeks. This helps your body re-learn how to react to depleted lineage carbohydrate levels. This may mean increasing your prey rake sugar level ( a new aim that needs to be worked out with your diabetes care team ). It may flush result in a higher A1C level, but regaining the ability to feel symptoms of lows is worth the irregular rise in lineage carbohydrate levels .
Other causes of symptoms
other people may start to have symptoms of hypoglycemia when their blood sugar levels are higher than 70 mg/dL. This can happen when your blood carbohydrate levels are very eminent and start to go down cursorily. If this is happening, discus discussion with your diabetes care team .
How can I prevent low blood sugar?
Your best bet is to rehearse good diabetes management and learn to detect hypoglycemia so you can treat it early—before it gets worse .
Monitoring blood boodle, with either a meter or a CGM, is the tested and true method for preventing hypoglycemia. Studies systematically show that the more a person checks blood carbohydrate, the lower his or her risk of hypoglycemia. This is because you can see when rake sugar levels are dropping and can treat it before it gets besides humble .
If you can, check much !
Check before and after meals.
Check before and after exercise (or during, if it’s a long or intense session).
Check before bed.
After intense exercise, also check in the middle of the night.
Check more if things around you change such as, a new insulin routine, a different work schedule, an increase in physical activity, or travel across time zones.

Why am I having lows?
If you are experiencing low blood sugar and you ’ ra not sure why, bring a record of blood sugar, insulin, exercise and food data to a health care provider. together, you can review all your data to figure out the campaign of the lows .
The more information you can give your health care supplier, the better they can work with you to understand what ‘s causing the lows. Your provider may be able to help prevent depleted lineage boodle by adjusting the timing of insulin dose, drill and meals or snacks. Changing insulin doses or the types of food you eat may besides do the trick .

This year marks the 11th anniversary for the festival and it keeps getting bigger and bigger! Attendees had access to over 500 world-renowned chefs, culinary personalities, entertainers, wine, and spirit producers. We got to party at the best venues throughout New York City!
“The New York City Wine & Food Festival is a place where you can taste a lot of different foods from a lot of different chefs around the country. A foodie’s heaven.” Giada De Laurentiis
NYCWFF was definitely foodie heaven for me! I attended a plethora of events and I want to take some time to highlight some of the events and food below. First up though, I had the pleasure of interviewing New York chef Peter Botros. Check out our interview and keep scrolling for other festival highlights.
Tavi J. One on One Interview with Chef Peter Botros
I was given a list of Chef’s that would be attending the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits event. One of the reasons I wanted to interview you is first off you have a very impressive resume. Second though, what caught my eye is you’re a self-taught chef. Was it harder for you breaking into the industry?
I always loved food and worked in the food industry before going to college. From thirteen on I worked in the restaurant industry as a waiter, bus boy, bartender, and manager. I was working in restaurants, but at the front of the house. I always had a great interest in cooking, but at that time it was still very difficult to make a living in the kitchen. I cooked at home and I always asked the chefs questions to learn from them.
I went to college and got my bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurial studies and I got my master’s in marketing and finance. Out of college I left the restaurant industry and worked as a full time mortgage banker. It was a great career and I did very well in it for about 3 years. I was then diagnosed with male breast cancer and went through some treatment and got myself better. It opened my eyes to wanting to do things every day that made me happy and it wasn’t mortgage banking. Mortgage banking was a great career, but it certainly wasn’t something I got excited to get up and do every day.
I had a passion for the food and the restaurant industry. Even after I left the industry to become a mortgage banker I knew I would return someday and open my own restaurant. The opportunity presented itself for me to buy space and open up The Stone House at Clove Lakes. This was my first restaurant and it wasn’t easy. The city owned the property and they had to approve me to go in as a tenant. It’s a very complicated difficult red tape bureaucratic type of environment. I made sure to stick with it and I was determined to open my restaurant. After 14 months of going back and forth with the city they finally approved me and I was able to open. I decided, even though I had never been a chef or worked in the kitchen, to write the menu’s and develop the recipes.
How did you come up with the menu cuisine?
I based what I wanted to put on the menu off of what I like to eat. That probably wouldn’t of been what most people would do, but I felt like I had a pretty diverse and eclectic palate that could cover all the bases. I made sure to put a few things on the menu that would be approachable to people that may not be as adventurous as I am. I was able to develop a very balanced menu with the executive chef I hired, Chef Antonio Vasquez Flores. Chef Flores had 30 years of experience and together we developed recipes. He was very instrumental in helping me put the ideas I had in my mind in motion.
What’s the most adventurous menu item at The Stone House at Clove Lakes?
So the most adventurous part is there’s a restaurant within a restaurant. On the 2nd floor overlooking the main dining room we have a restaurant called the Chef’s Loft. I change the menu twice a month and it’s a five course wine paired dinner. Every dish we serve in the Loft is a dish that no one has ever had before. It might be centered around a dish you’ve had previously, but never quite the same. We never repeat dishes either. Every time you come to Chef’s Loft it’s a new experience and an experience you won’t have again. The Chef’s Loft has maximum seating for 16 people and The Stone House at Clove Lakes seats 200.
Earlier this year you cooked dinner for the James Beard House. How did you feel when you were selected and what was that experience like?
That was a surreal experience to be selected so quickly and so young. I was in awe! Two ladies had dinner in the Chef’s Loft back in December of 2017. At the end of the dinner Izabela Wojcik, who is the director of house programming at the James Beard House, came up to me and said “This was a wonderful dinner! I’m Izabela Wojcik director of house programming at the James Beard House and we’d like for you to come cook at the James Beard House.”
Did you know when preparing the meal you were cooking for Izabela?
I had no idea! My heart sank briefly not knowing, but at the same time I knew that the dinner went perfect and everything was phenomenal. They actually asked me to cook for a really important day. February 13th is the James Beard House Valentine’s Day dinner. I was asked to cook a dinner in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. I developed a menu centered around Chocolate that included 3 passed hors d’oeuvre and 5 dishes all having Chocolate in them. Even the savory dishes.
That sounds DELCIOUS!!! Can you give us examples of the savory dishes?
We did an expresso chili crusted filet mignon with white chocolate whipped potatoes and a chocolate port wine sauce. We also did a seared scallop with a chocolate chestnut cream and cocoa nibs. Also, a roasted beet crostini with chocolate whipped goat cheese and fennel pollen.
Yum! How do you come up with these dishes and how do you know what goes together?
It comes natural to me. At a young age I always experimented with putting flavors together. The basics of flavor combination are always there. Bitter, sweet, salty, sour, savory…so if you know what each ingredient produces you can replace things that might not traditionally go together. We sold out the James Beard Dinner in 48 hours. The meal we put out was impeccable. I couldn’t have been more proud. At the end of dinner I was invited to participate in a James Beard House event in the Hamptons at the Wolffer Estates.
Next up we’re hosting a James Beard dinner in Staten Island in the second restaurant I opened, Violette’s Cellar. Violette’s Cellar is a contemporary American small plates menu. We also have a speakeasy within Violette’s called the Button Room. It’s hidden behind a sliding book shelf and you need a password to get in. It’s very cool! The James Beard Dinner will be hosted November 8th. It’s the first time the James Beard Organization will be coming to Staten Island. It’s called the Friends of James Beard benefit at Violette’s Cellar.
What other restaurants do you own?
I just opened Corner House BBQ with pit master Anthony Valios. He’s phenomenal! We met at a charity event and his barbecue blew me away and more importantly his personality and demeanor. We already signed the lease for our second location. Also, coming up in mid-November I’m opening a taco and tequila bar called Sofia’s Taqueria. I also own Binnekill Tavern located in Margaretville New York.
I’ve opened all these spots in the last four years. I’ve been very busy and I only know one speed which is kind of my strength and weakness. We do events like the New York City Wine & Food Festival as much as possible. We’re always doing off premise charity events to showcase our food. I have an amazing team! At this point with all the restaurants were at 250 employees and I wouldn’t trade any of them.
Make sure to visit Chef Peter Botros at all his restaurant locations!! Keep scrolling for my 2018 Food Network and Cooking Channel New York City Wine & Food Festival highlights.
Tavi J. Highlights from the 2018 Food Network & Cooking Channel
New York City Wine & Food Festival
I started off the festival with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits tasting presented by Beverage Media and hosted by Spectator. The exclusive invite only trade event offered top clients and partners the chance to network with industry peers while sampling dishes from the best New York City chefs and learning about new trends and products in the food and beverage industry.
I spoke with Chef Robert Crawford briefly and he had me drooling over his new pop up restaurant Sarah’s Breakfast & Brunch. Expect delicious Cajun and Southern cuisine!
A huge highlight was the return of the sought after wine GEMS Collection Room Presented by Wine Spector and the Boutique Spirits collection, where guests tasted rare, exclusive, or limited vintage wines and spirits from SGWS and Lauber Imports’ portfolios. We also spent the afternoon listening to celebrity chefs and industry experts discussing today’s hot topics at a series of exciting trade panels.
Friday evening we headed to Aperitivo! Presented by Peroni and hosted by Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos. This event was definitely the ultimate happy hour!
Debi and her husband Gabriele are best selling cookbook authors and all around foodie celebrity couple. They host the popular cooking channel series, Extra Virgin and Extra Virgin Americana. At the happy hour we got to enjoy creative cocktails, wine, charcuterie, and DELICIOUS pasta!

As the Israeli ground, air and sea assault continues on the civilian population of Gaza - we need to continue mobilizing against these war crimes.
At least 540 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in the single largest massacre in Gaza since Israel illegally occupied the area in 1967.
These latest war crimes occur in the context of official Canadian complicity with Israel's illegal siege, bombardment and starvation of the civilian population in Gaza. We must denounce this on-going support - including the intensification of bilateral military, political and economic links between Canada and Israel. Palestinian civil society continues to urge solidarity in the form of a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign until Israel complies with international law. This is the time for people of conscience to take up this call from Palestine.
Last Saturday, over 10,000 people rallied in Toronto in the largest Palestine solidarity demonstration in decades. This coming Saturday, millions of people across the globe will return to the streets in internationally coordinated demonstrations against the Israeli onslaught.
Join us this Saturday to demand that the Canadian government call for an immediate halt to Israel's attacks and an end to the siege of Gaza!

Quarterback Nick Mullens has been a major topic of conversation for the 49ers since he took over for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo during the Week 2 win over the New York Jets. Against two talent-deprived teams in the last two weeks, Mullens’ strong performances with numerous starters out injured have made people question whether the 25-year-old could be a starting QB in the NFL.
Joining the many teammates heaping praise on Mullens this week was cornerback Richard Sherman, who believes Mullens has what it takes to be an NFL QB1, as he explained on “The Cris Collinsworth Podcast featuring Richard Sherman.”
"Nick Mullens has such a high ceiling," Sherman said. "And I think sometimes you get caught up in this league and say, 'Hey, this guy was drafted (in the) first round, so we hold him to this regard. This guy was undrafted, so we don't even give him consideration for being a top-level guy.'
"I think Nick Mullens can be a great quarterback in this league. Obviously, Jimmy's our guy, and he's the guy who's going to get his snaps when he comes back, and gets the acclaim. But I think Nick, when he gets his chance to be a starting quarterback in this league at some point, is going to surprise people."
RELATED: How Mullens helped by Kittle, Deebo's 49ers return vs. Eagles
Sherman has practiced against Mullens for multiple years now since he joined the 49ers in 2018, so he’d know Mullens’ true talent more than most.
The 49ers will need him to play like a No. 1 QB in Week 4 as they welcome the Philadelphia Eagles, an 0-2-1 team desperate to win, to Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. As long as Garoppolo remains out, it will be on Mullens to lead coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

The presidency Wednesday responded to a call by the breakaway faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urging President Goodluck Jonathan not to contest the 2015 presidential election, stating that “their dreams that the president should not present himself for re-election is not realisable.”
Also, the presidency said the outburst from the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led splinter group was indicative that there is no crisis within the ruling party, as what is supposedly seen as a crisis, “is nothing but the personal ambitions of the ‘rebel governors’ and their protégés.”
On Tuesday, the New PDP had asked the president not to contest the 2015 presidential election and urged him to be a hero by saving the country from a needless crisis.
But in an interview with THISDAY, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, dismissed the demand of the New PDP, saying: “God is gradually bringing their supposed grievances out. Is the president’s participation in the 2015 presidential election supposed to be a grievance?
“If their grievance is that President Jonathan should not contest the forthcoming presidential election, then that dream is not realisable.
“The only person who can stop that dream of the president to contest the presidential election is the president himself. When he says that he is not contesting, Nigerians would either vote for him or not.
“But it is not the Governors of Kano, Niger, Rivers, Sokoto, Adamawa, Jigawa and Kwara State that will tell him what to do.
“If that is their dream that the president should forgo his constitutional right and not contest, then that dream is not realisable. Nobody can stop him, other than himself, if he chooses not to contest. If he chooses to contest, then their dreams would not be realisable.”
The special adviser stressed that Nigeria as a nation is governed by laws and that so far, “Jonathan would not be violating any of the known laws by deciding to contest the 2015 presidential election. No known law in the country has said that the president cannot contest. It is therefore Nigerians that would decide his fate, should he decide to contest.”
However, he said: “If any of the governors or anyone within the so-called faction, thinks that he is a presidential material and wants to contest, let that person step out as Nigerians would decide the person’s fate.
“They should come out and test their popularity. That is the beauty of democracy of one-man, one-vote.
“But let it be known that this grandstanding and intimidations will not stop the president should he decide to contest the 2015 presidential election,” Gulak said.
He explained that with what is happening and with the statement by the Baraje faction of the PDP, it is clear that there is no crisis within the ruling party.
“From what was published yesterday (Tuesday) from Abubakar Baraje’s group, it is evidently clear that there is no crisis in PDP, but some people are moved by their personal ambitions to contest and see President Jonathan as their stumbling block.
“However, this is a free world. If anyone of them wants to contest, the person is free to come and contest. The president is not stopping anybody. But in the final analysis, the final decision is for Nigerians to make,” he said.
The presidency’s response to the demand of the New PDP coincided with a ruckus that took place in the Senate yesterday between senators aligned with the faction and those still belonging to the mainstream PDP.
The clash occurred during a debate, when Senator Danjuma Goje, representing Gombe Central, introduced himself as a member of the New PDP.
Goje, a former Governor of Gombe State, had remarked during a motion in honour of the late former Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, who passed on September 13, that he had worked with the deceased in what he described as the “Old PDP”, when both of them were governors and ministers respectively.
While emphasising that he now belonged to the New PDP under the leadership of Baraje, Goje caused a great stir in the chamber, before he was interrupted by a point of order by Senator Smart Adeyemi (Kogi West).
Apparently taking advantage of his comments, the opposition senators largely helped to fuel the commotion in the chamber as they shouted in solidarity with Goje.
The overwhelming noise at this stage overshadowed Adeyemi’s repeated shouts of “point of order” while a visibly irritated Senate President David Mark remarked, “This is a hallowed chamber. Don’t let us reduce it to a market square.”
Citing Order 53 (7) in Senate Standing Rules, Adeyemi argued that Goje’s remark that he belonged to the New PDP was offensive, saying it was regrettable that Goje, a former governor and sitting senator on the platform of PDP, could claim to belong to another platform, describing the utterance as unprofessional.
But as tensions in the chamber rose and the argument shifted over who was the de facto chairman of the ruling party, Mark ruled that it was not right for anyone to bring any issue bordering on who is chairman of the PDP or not to the floor of the Senate, emphasising that such debates should never take place in the parliament.
Furthermore, Mark argued that PDP remained one united party and insisted that since Goje admitted that he was a member of PDP, there was no cause for alarm.
On that premise, the senate president asked Goje to continue with his submission, thus bringing an end to the commotion.
Goje had while speaking on the motion moved by Senator Boluwaji Kunlere (Ondo South) on the late Agagu, recalled that he (Goje) was a Minister of State for Power while Agagu was the substantive Minister of Power, describing the late politician as an extremely humble man, in whose tenure as minister, the common friction between ministers and ministers of state never occurred.
Describing Agagu further as a highly articulate person and an intellect of note, Goje recalled how the departed encouraged him to embark on rural electrification nationwide when he served under him as minister of state.
While presenting the motion, Kunlere who recalled the life and times of Agagu, submitted that in his tenure as Ondo State governor, he recorded major achievements in the area of education with the establishment of Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, as well as the construction of modern blocks of classrooms across the 18 local government areas of the state.
He also said the late former governor opened up the riverine areas of Ondo State with the construction of roads and bridges for the first time in the state’s history and facilitated the establishment of the Omotosho power plant, adding that Agagu’s role in the establishment of Olokola Free Trade Zone (OFTZ) would remain evergreen in the memory of Ondo people.
After observing a minute silence in honour of the departed, the Senate resolved to send a delegation to commiserate with his family as well as the people and government of Ondo State.
