When living on a budget, splurging on ingredients for a one-time dish is a big no-no. The past few weeks I had large bags of green beans from my CSA but didn’t know what to do with them other than steaming and covering with Earth Balance.
For green bean casserole, a creamy base is needed, usually in the form of a cream of mushroom soup. This is a hard ingredient to find for a vegan and sometimes a calorie-filled substitute is needed, usually in the form of a mushroom roux using flour.
On Friday I experimented with what I had on hand — cauliflower and butternut squash. I steamed and pureed these ingredients in order to cover the green beans.
It wouldn’t be green bean casserole without the fried onions, which amazingly are already vegan. A healthy alternative can be caramelized onions, though that is more time consuming.
This green bean casserole might not taste exactly the same as a non-vegan version, but it is easy, healthy and chock-full of nutritious veggies.
Healthy, vegan green bean casserole
- 2 cups chopped cauliflower
- 2 cups frozen, cubed butternut squash
- 1 small red onion
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
- 3 pounds fresh green beans, cut into small pieces
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fried onions
- Add chopped cauliflower, cubed butternut squash and water to a pot. Bring to a boil. Add a lid and lower to a simmer, steaming for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, wash and cut fresh green beans into small pieces, place in a pot with about 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add a lid, lower the temperature to a simmer and cook for 6 minutes.
- Drain green beans when they are done and place back into the pot.
- Place butternut squash, cauliflower and water into a blender. Add garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to the blender and puree. If the mixture seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to make sure it completely blends. You might need to scrape down the sides and repeat the pureeing.
- Add a bit of the puree to the bottom of a 9×13 dish. Add green beans and then coat with mixture. Stir until all the beans are coated.
- Spread the fried onions over the top, and cover with foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 425 degrees.
- Take out of oven, let it cool for 5 minutes and then enjoy.

If your life is like mine right now, you barely remember to eat dinner after getting home from work.
We go from unearthing fall and winter clothes during an Indian summer day to everything orange, yellow and red and Halloween costumes and decorations.
Then, in a blink of an eye, we are finagling road trips for Thanksgiving feasts and/or stocking the pantry for the big day.
Then, we will be bundling under large jackets, furiously shopping for holiday gifts, and grumbling about how cold it is and we can’t wait for summer.
Wait, what about dinner?
I’ve learned a new trick to help out my limited budget and schedule: freezer meals. I recently found two, new-to-me blogs: Budget Bytes and Vegan in the Freezer. These gave me a ton of inspiration for what I can do when I get a few hours, in order to free up the time between getting home and my head hitting the pillow. I can even get my significant other to cook it in the oven, so dinner is hot and ready as soon as I step in the door.
This recipe was actually inspired by a Food.com blogger Christine who make a creamy chickpea and tahini casserole. I substituted a few ingredients for what I had on hand: pasta, fresh tomatoes and Gardein meatballs (on sale at Target!), and eliminated a few spices I did not have.
This is such a versatile dish that you can create a variety of sauces and mix and match grains, protein and veggies. Let me know what inspiration you get from this recipe.
Tahini meatball freezer casserole
- 5 to 6 Gardein meatless meatballs
- 1 box of trio noodles or other small noodles
- 5 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water
- Boil a large pot of water, and follow directions to cook pasta until al dente. Drain and cool.
- Heat up meatballs in a microwave-proof bowl until able to mush the balls. Break up until consistency of ground beef.
- Chop veggies.
- Mix tahini, water and spices until well mixed. Set aside.
- Spray 9×13 pan with olive oil.
- Dump all ingredients into pan, first placing some noodles in the pan, adding tomatoes and meatballs and then half of the tahini mixture. Add remaining noodles and sauce.
- Stir until all the noodles are coated.
- Let the pan completely cool, then place lid on and put it in the freezer.
- When ready to cook, place pan in the refrigerator for about 7 to 8 hours. An hour before cooking, take it out and place on the counter.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Take off lid and place foil over pan. Cook for about 45 to 50 minutes or until center is warm.

JAILED: ‘Shown a total disregard for their local community, having been born and bred in Shepshed’
TWO masked knife-wielding thieves who stormed into a Shepshed shop demanding cash and fought with shopkeepers have been jailed.
Brett Johnson, aged 24, and Scott Oxford, aged 25, threatened Jay Kacha and his son Chiraag with six-inch bread knives and demanded cash from them at Shepshed General Stores, in Garendon Road, on April 17.
One was wearing a ski mask, while another wore a balaclava.
But Mr Kacha and his son fought back, wrestling with them and even disarming one of them before getting them out of the shop.
Johnson and Oxford were later arrested after taking off their disguises and being caught on CCTV shoplifting from Tesco Express just yards away from the convenience store.
Both pleaded guilty to attempted armed robbery and having a sharply pointed blade in a public place when they appeared at Leicester Crown Court.
Johnson, of Ring Fence, was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison, while Oxford, of McCarthy Road, was sentenced to four years and 10 months.
Both were also ordered to pay Mr Kacha £120 compensation.
Welcoming their sentence, Mr Kacha told the Echo: “When something like this happens it shakes your confidence quite a lot.
“But local people have been absolutely wonderful and the law enforcement officers have been great, you’ve got to give them 10 out of 10 for their effort.”
Loughborough commander Insp Johnny Monks said: “We have had a great investigation CID and local officers linking in together to bring swift justice, the offence was on April 17 and it just shows how things have improved in the justice system.
“These guys have shown a total disregard for their local community, having been born and bred in Shepshed. It’s a significant sentence and shows the gravity of the offence. It’s quite clearly affected the victims.
“We want to reassure members of the community this sentence, which is significant – almost five years apiece – highlights the gravity of the offence and proves you can’t go into a shop with a knife and demand cash and expect to get away with it.
“I hope it deters other people from doing it,” added Mr Kacha.

The methodology developed to assess biodiversity over the Western Ghats using remote sensing, involves a synthesis of information derived at several spatial scales.
In India we have 320 million hectares of land, and 200 million hectares of exclusive economic zone in the sea, within which are distributed some 120, 000 known and perhaps another 400, 000 as yet undescribed species of microbes, plants and animals In a country with this rich heritage of biological diversity, it is obviously not possible to census the distribution of each and every species based on field studies alone.
A two-level combination of remote sensing and field studies, can be used to derive information on the distribution of large numbers of species.This methodology appears simple – but there are several possible difficulties associated with its use over large areas. Although several species are known to exist in tight association with their habitats, some species are more wide ranging, and may occur in a wider variety of habitats. Certain groups of organisms, such as birds, may require a mixture of several ecotopes, some for foraging and others for breeding, for example. It may not be possible to relate their distribution to the presence of a single ecotope type. The spatial scale at which habitats are differentiated by the remote sensor may also crucially affect the results obtained. For example, herb species may respond to ecotopes at a very fine scale, much finer than the spatial resolution of the remote sensor.
Still, such a two scale coupling of remote sensing andfield sampling still shows great promise and, indeed, has been recommended by the Global Biodiversity Assessment.
Biogeographically, the hill chain of the Western Ghats constitutes the Malabar province of the Oriental realm, running parallel to the west coast of India from 8 ° N to 21 ° N latitudes for around 1600 km. Rising up from a relatively narrow strip of coast at its western border, the hills reach up to a height of 2800 m before they merge to the east with the Deccan plateau at an altitude of 500-600 m. The average width of this mountain range is about 100 km. This bio-region is highly species rich and under constant threat due to human pressure, and is considered one of the 18 biodiversity hot spots of the world. With its complex, heterogeneous landscapes and high levels of biodiversity, it forms an ideal ground for the testing and elaboration of this methodology.
Methods and Results
The methodology developed to assess biodiversity over the Western Ghats using remote sensing, involved a synthesis of information derived at several spatial scales. At the largest scale of mapping, satellite imagery covering the area of the Western Ghats, was collected from IRS 1 B LISS 2 sensors, during the pre-monsoon seasons of either 1992, 1993 or 1994 (depending on availability of cloud free data). The scenes were manually co-registered and pasted together to create a composite image of the study area. Using information derived from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (to minimize effects of inter-image variability), according to the methodology described by Nagendra and Gadgil, a relatively coarse, broad scale map of the Western Ghats was created. This map classifies the Western Ghats into 200 patches belonging to eleven ecomosaic types. Each ecomosaic type is a characteristic set of several ecotope types, both manmade such as different types of agricultural crops and plantations, and natural, such as forests in various stages of degradation. The resultant map was compared with pre-existing information on the distribution of forests, agricultural lands, climatic and topographic features, and population, for interpretation.
At the next scale of mapping, twelve landscapes belonging to five of the eleven ecomosaic types were taken up for more detailed investigations. These landscapes range in size from 9 to 54 sq. km in area. Supervised and unsupervised classifications of LISS 2, 4 band data was carried out at this scale, using single date pre-monsoon imagery collected either in 1992, 1993 or 1994. Supervised classification accuracies of these twelve landscapes ranged from 70% to 92%. Unsupervised classification accuracies were uniformly much worse.
From the supervised classification maps, information on the size, shape and inter-patch distance of ecotopes was calculated. This information is believed to affect the presence and distribution of various species within a landscape. In addition, ecotope type richness, and Shannon’s index of ecotope diversity (based on proportion of landscape area occupied by various ecotope types) were computed. Statistical analysis determined that landscapes belonging to specific ecomosaic types tended to be similar in their ecotope characteristics, thus providing us with confidence in the ecomosaic map of the Western Ghats.
Finally, at the most detailed scale of analysis, IRS 1B LISS 2 data of March 1993 was purchased for a single landscape of 27.5 sq. km from Siddapur taluk of Karnataka (400 – 600 m altitude, 14°16’- 14°19’N latitude and 74°52’- 74°54’E longitude). Supervised and unsupervised classification of this imagery mapped the landscape into seven ecotope types. 246 quadrats of 10 by 10 m were distributed in the landscape, and used to record the tree layer species distributed in these seven ecotope types. Within these, sub-quadrats of 5 by 5 m and 1 by 1 m were used to record the angiosperm species (excluding grasses, which could not be accurately identified in the field) present in the shrub and herb layers respectively.
Analysis of species composition of quadrats belonging to various ecotope types determined that ecotope types as identified by supervised classification differ significantly in their species composition. However due to increased misclassification, ecotope types identified by unsupervised classification did not differ significantly in their species composition.
This case study of the Western Ghats – West Coast moist forest region of India thus demonstrates the applicability of a multi-scale methodology employing satellite-based classification as well as field surveys, using a nested hierarchy of classification of ecological entities, for assessing species diversity. This study establishes the linkages between these seemingly disparate scales of analysis. Classification at the scale of the Western Ghats delineates ecomosaic types, which differ significantly from each other in their composition and configuration of their constituent ecotope types, as determined by classification at a finer scale. In turn, these ecotope types differ significantly in their species composition, as determined from field sampling.
Based on this, a strategy for biodiversity assessment and monitoring at regular intervals of time can be outlined for the Western Ghats and western coast of India. Ecomosaic level classification produces a map of 205 patches belonging to eleven ecomosaic types. For each ecomosaic type, the identification of 5-10 landscapes is proposed, located in different patches. This set of 50-100 landscapes, of the order of 25-50 km2, can be mapped to the ecotope level, using four band IRS LISS 2 or LISS 3 imagery. At a still lower scale, within each landscape, quadrats of 10 by 10 m may be used to sample plant distributions on ground. A schematic outline of the methodology proposed, encompassing a range of different scales of observation, and a combination of remotely sensed data and field information, is depicted in Figure 1. Fig 1: Proposed scheme of biodiversity investigations at diferent scales. Modified with permission from Current Science 75(3): 264-271
In the present classification of twelve landscapes, a total of twenty-three ecotope types were encountered. For the entire Western Ghats however, one may expect to find about 30-40 ecotope types, since in this study a few regions of the Ghats such as the high altitude shola-grasslands, were not investigated. For these 30-40 ecotope types, field sampling of various organisms, including but not restricted to plants, butterflies and birds, can be used to establish the set of species that are found associated with specific ecotope types. Within these landscapes, one must also investigate the extent to which latitude, longitude, topography and climatic factors influence the variation in species composition that is unexplained by ecotope distribution – for which purpose GIS will prove very useful.
Regular monitoring of this set of landscapes, at 2-3 year intervals, along with repeated field inventories, will enable us to monitor changes in biodiversity. Mapping logical Sciences over the past five years with the Western Ghats Biodiversity Network, a network of college teachers and students who have aided us in this investigation, we believe such a scheme to be practically feasible, in a decentralized fashion.
Previous large scale studies which use remote sensing for biodiversity assessment have been mainly carried out in the relatively species poor and homogeneous temperate ecosystems. This exercise is a first of its kind to be carried out at this scale in the tropics, explicitly investigating the linkages between information collected at such widely different spatial scales, combining remote sensing with field based species inventories. The scheme suggested here may be used as a basis to organize other programmes for assessment of biodiversity, elsewhere in the tropics too.

Before the Great Recession, companies would allocate about 300 square feet per person in the workplace. As more offices adopt more efficient layouts, that number has dropped to 200 square feet—and as low as 150 square feet in complete activity-based layouts. While this means more employees can fit in the building, the number of parking spaces remains the same.
Urban offices where employees rely on public transit and parking garages are fairly unscathed, but parking is a big factor for companies seeking space in the suburbs. In many cases, they can’t lease space at their first or even second choice location because the building doesn’t meet their parking needs.
So, what’s the solution? There are a few options for tenants desperate for more parking spots, but auto industry disruptors like ride sharing companies are already changing commute patterns. The suburb-bound businesses that adapt to these new solutions—and incentivize them—will relieve parking pains fastest.
Where to find parking relief now
- Nearby parking lots
Unused parking lots are hard to come by, but some companies are electing to rent parking spaces from buildings that aren’t yet fully leased.
In Orange County, for example, companies are spending an average of $35 to $50 per stall on monthly parking space rentals (though prices range as low as $25 up to $100).
Depending on distance, employers should also provide a shuttle service to drive employees between the two lots. Of course, this is a temporary solution. As soon as the building is fully leased, the landlord will take back spaces for their own tenants.
- Commuter benefits
Encourage employees to not drive to work with commuter benefit packages. Offer carpooling incentives and help employees find coworkers with similar commute routes and work schedules.
Make it easier to bike to work by providing showers, lockers and bike parking at the office. Bike incentives not only reduce parking usage and costs, but also offer tremendous health benefits for the employees and environment.
- Car sharing
Make it easier (and less costly) for employees to rent a car when they need it. Like ride sharing services, car sharing firms are growing fast and beginning to offer business accounts and partnerships that provide major discounts to employees.
Competition in this industry continues to increase as major carmakers enter the car share world. Following Zipcar’s lead—a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, Inc.—Enterprise Rent-A-Car has entered the mix with its own Enterprise CarShare.
General Motors started its own car sharing firm Maven and BMW has launched ReachNow. Toyota and Lexus have agreed to team up with Getaround, of which the partnership is stated to include the option for car lessees of select vehicles to join Getaround and make vehicle payments directly from their car sharing income.
Rather than provide company cars (that sit in the lot), employers can run cost-benefit analyses to learn whether certain vehicles can be replaced with an on-demand service. Or instead of giving paid parking benefits, employers can alleviate parking demand by offering car sharing credits instead.
And in the future
- Autonomous vehicles
The auto industry disruptor with the greatest potential to impact office parking is the advent of autonomous vehicles. This has become an extremely competitive market with car manufacturers, technology firms and ride sharing companies all working towards developing these vehicles.
It’ll take several stages from development to consumer-use of autonomous vehicles—from limited self-driving automation to complete automation—before ever becoming mainstream. Implementation is still years away due to software developments, government regulation and of course consumer uptake, but when autonomous vehicles become ubiquitous, traditional office parking lots may greatly reduce in size.
As the IoT continues to evolve, it’s expected that autonomous vehicles will not only be able to drive people to work, but also be programmed to drive back home (or to any location) and then return to pick people up at the end of the work day.
What happens to all of those parking lots? Developers would have several revenue-generating options of how to use the space. Mixed-use and retail space would be the most strategic choice as suburban markets continue to push better live-work-play communities and employees expect more convenience and amenities to make coming into the office worthwhile.

THE Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says it will next year launch a two year project in three southern African countries that include Zimbabwe aimed at taming Queala birds that have ravished crops in the region.
Valued at US$300 000 the project will target Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique and will help growers of small grain and wheat to deter Quelea birds which have ravished fields in recent years.
According to FAO Agricultural Officer for Pesticide Risk Reduction Ivy Saunyama Falcon birds are to be introduced as an alternative to highly hazardous pesticides and dynamite currently used to deter Quelea birds.
The red-billed quelea is a small weaver bird native to sub-Saharan Africa and is the most numerous bird species in the world, with peak post-breeding population estimated at 1,5 billion.
“Quelea birds are a menace to farmers of small grains and wheat and they have caused problems in recent. So we observed a project in Botswana were commercial went into a partnership that supplied them with Falcon birds that are used as deterrents to the Quelea.
This is more sustainable than the current methods of using dynamite and fenthion which is likely to be banned soon.
The falcon birds are indigenous species and are natural predators which will be trained to deter the Quelea birds.
The project is expected to run for two years and provided opportunities for youths who shall train the birds”.
Saunyama said it was important that the impact of Quelea birds on small grain be minimized in light of the El Nino induced drought forecast for Southern Africa.

Just before Mike Wigal was place below for arthroscopic knee surgical treatment, the anesthesiologist stopped the technique. He needed to examine anything he observed on a coronary heart keep an eye on.
Following the technique, the orthopedic surgeon explained to Wigal that he hadn’t found something improper inside of the knee.
“Nonetheless, we’ve produced you an appointment with a cardiologist,” the health care provider stated, describing that the health-related crew had detected an irregular heart rhythm.
Wigal was 38 and worked the swing change at a factory. He and his spouse, Kathy, stayed active with their two teenage boys, school sports activities, 4-H and church functions in Wooster, Ohio.
Often Mike felt fatigued, but who wouldn’t, he figured.
Continue to, that irregular rhythm necessary further more evaluation. The health practitioner requested a cardiac catheterization process, telling Wigal that the likeliest trouble would be a blockage that would want a stent and the minimum very likely would be coronary heart sickness.
Just after the process, the health practitioner shipped the information.
Wigal experienced cardiomyopathy, a style of coronary heart illness.
“Your heart is previously enlarged and doing work at 35%,” the medical professional claimed. “The only issue we can do is give you medication and the only cure would be a coronary heart transplant down the highway.”
Wigal went numb. Neither he nor his wife understood everyone who’d gotten a heart transplant.
“That appeared like a little something out of the films,” Kathy said.
For the upcoming various several years, Wigal felt fine, despite the fact that his endurance ongoing to decline. He eventually stopped doing the job and went on incapacity.
In 2007, much more than 7 decades just after the cardiomyopathy prognosis, his local health care provider transferred Wigal’s care to a cardiac clinic in Columbus, Ohio. The pursuing year, physicians mentioned it was time to do a workup to take into account him for the transplant record.
“They examine you within and out, from the idea of your head to the suggestions of your toes,” he said.
On Feb. 13, 2009, Mike discovered he was likely on the listing. He gave a fist pump and hugged Kathy.
The next day – Valentine’s Working day – Mike bought Kathy a necklace with two hearts, a single larger sized than the other.
“This signifies me,” he advised her. “The substantial just one is my outdated heart and the modest one is the new just one.”
When on the list, Mike answered each mobile phone call and stayed inside of 90 minutes of the clinic. He and Kathy stored a packed suitcase in the trunk of their auto.
In months, Mike’s power and stamina had declined. In late November, medical practitioners said he necessary to check out into the healthcare facility.
“Be geared up to stay until eventually you acquire a coronary heart,” the health practitioner reported.
Mike and Kathy threw jointly an early Christmas with quick family, a gathering that was both joyous and somber.
Right after he was admitted, every single day appeared to deliver a new well being complication.
Mike, ordinarily optimistic and cheerful, turned impatient and discouraged.
On day 6, he explained to the nurse he’d had more than enough.
“Either you pull this IV out or I will mainly because I am likely home,” he explained to her.
“You’re not likely property due to the fact we have an functioning space reserved for you tonight to get a new coronary heart,” she instructed him.
Kathy, who experienced never ever left Mike’s facet in the clinic, dropped to the floor in tears.
“I assumed I was heading to faint,” Kathy mentioned. “We have been all laughing and so fired up.”
On Dec. 10, 2009, Mike acquired a new coronary heart. Twelve days later on, he walked out of the hospital.
About six months later – soon after heading via cardiac rehab – Mike felt his strength return and felt superior than he experienced in more than a 10 years.
For a while, he and Kathy attended a assist team for heart transplant survivors, but it was at the medical center – which intended about an hour and a 50 percent generate just about every day. So Mike experienced the strategy of a weekend accumulating in Ohio Amish country for survivors and their partners to communicate and socialize. That commenced in 2011 with about 20 persons. It’s considering that grown to some 80 men and women.
Mike discovered his donor was a 21-year-old male. He wrote to the family by way of Donate Lifetime, a nonprofit that promotes and coordinates transplants.
“Creating that initial letter was the hardest factor I have experienced to do,” Mike explained. “Figuring out my donor was a younger gentleman who experienced a full lifestyle ahead of him, that is truly tricky.”
Each individual yr, he and Kathy sent updates about Mike’s health and spouse and children pics. They kept composing even nevertheless they listened to nothing at all in return.
Six a long time just after his transplant, Mike received a letter from the mother of the donor. She reported her son’s organs had saved five lives.
“Your letters and playing cards bring us a lot ease and comfort and pleasure,” she wrote. “My son life by way of all you, and for that I am endlessly grateful.”
Mike treasures the unique letter so substantially that he retains it locked in a safe. He reads from a copy when talking to teams as an ambassador of Donate Lifestyle.
His information: If you have not imagined about donating your organs, you should do. And if you have, you should make absolutely sure your family members is familiar with your needs.
Mike, who now has 6 granddaughters, will rejoice the 12th anniversary of his new heart in December.
He and Kathy say he’s a improved man, additional caring and psychological.
“We lived these kinds of a speedy-paced everyday living,” Kathy claimed. “Now we cherish the minimal factors and every single other far more.”

THE SLOVAK Donors’ Forum (FD) has been publishing a ranking of corporate philanthropists, TOP Corporate Philanthropist, since 2005. Its goal is to motivate companies to communicate openly about the sums they spend on corporate philanthropy and thereby inspire other companies in Slovakia to do the same, Katarína Podracká, manager of FD’s corporate philanthropy programme, told The Slovak Spectator.
“The ranking is a presentation of companies which, along with running their businesses, do not forget their responsibility to the community,” Podracká said, adding that FD fully appreciates that a company’s ability to contribute differs depending on its size and the sector in which it operates. “The main aim of the ranking is not, therefore, to compete for medal positions… The important thing, from our point of view, is the realisation of the need for responsible behaviour towards [a company’s] surroundings, which goes hand in hand with the willingness to inform the general public about investing a portion of their profits into the development of communities and charity projects.”
A total of 21 companies that together donated over €2.7 million were included in the first ranking.
By 2011 the number of enrolled companies had increased to 31, while the aggregate sum they donated for the development of communities and charitable activities in the previous year, 2010, had more than doubled to over €6.7 million. This sum did not include sponsorship or 2-percent assignments from income tax.

On 30 May 2019, Rwandan Bolt (Taxify) driver Camir Nkurunziza was hijacked and killed in Cape Town in an incident that involved three suspects and some police officers. The first court appearance left his widow dejected as it was postponed for still further investigations.
Annet Kabasindi got out of bed with some expectation of getting more answers to the riddle that is her husband's hijacking and murder - and, just perhaps, to see some justice done. She got neither. Even though it's more than three months since her husband, Camir Nkurunziza, was killed one day before his 41st birthday on the last day of May, the wheels of the South African justice system have been grinding all too slow.
It's the second time the pair accused of hijacking him have appeared in the Goodwood Magistrate's Court. The previous appearance, in June, was for a bail hearing. Due to the seriousness of the alleged crimes they were kept in custody.
During the appearance on Tuesday, 10 September 2019, the charges weren't read out in court - or if they were, nobody in the public gallery could hear them. The court roll at the door listed first suspect Phiwe Zwelinjani, 24, as...

How To Put an Easter Basket Together
March 22, 2012
Putting an Easter basket together is more than just throwing a few things together and calling it good. It’s a masterpiece—a work of art. At least that’s how I think. Of course, I’m an over analyzer. But instead of giving you a step-by-step guide on how to put it together and telling you what to put in it, I’m just going to give you a few tips. Assuming you know what an Easter basket is and looks like because we have all seen them our entire lives, let’s get started.
Now the reason I’m giving you only tips is because doing something like this is sort of personal. It isn’t something that always looks the same. Every year, it’s something different. So as for the tips, I like to call them my special acronym, C.I.P. It stands for Creativity, Inspiration, and Personality.
Creativity– Whether you are writing a book, drawing a picture, or writing music, you are using the power of creativity to do it. Your Easter basket is a masterpiece, as I mentioned before, and you are the artist. Look at the basic traditional outline of what it should look like as a blank canvas that you get to paint.
Inspiration– Your creativity is fueled by inspiration. This comes through everything usually when you least expect it to come. I know I’ll listen to a song or see something random like a willow tree and decide that that is where my main character is going to meet her soul mate—under a willow tree. In this case, use the person you are making this for as your inspiration. When you make an Easter basket, aren’t you supposed to fill it up with something they like?
Personality– This is where you come in to the basket. When you shop for people, do you buy them things that you don’t like? I didn’t think so. So add a little part of you in it. If it was me, I’d add a miniature penguin thing or whatever just because that person would know about my obsession with penguins. If you are going through putting this together, go ahead and make them be reminded of you whenever they see it.
As a few other fun tips for more help, try to remember these:
1. Keep it age appropriate. Toys for little brothers and sisters, CD’s or movies for the preteens, etc.
2. Don’t fill the entire basket with the grass. It’s no fun to have more grass than anything else.
3. Decide how big of an impression you want to make. Think about the person and how they will react to the size of the basket. It’s all about that person, so put some thought into it.
4. Think candy, of course! Is that person diabetic? If so, go for the sugar-free. Are they “diet addicts”? If so, go for the fat-free. Also, don’t fill it with traditional Easter candy if they don’t like that candy. You should try filling it with their favorite little bite-sized candy bars.
5. Personalize it just for them. For example, if it were me my basket would probably be black because it’s my favorite color. It would be filled with Snickers because that’s my favorite candy bar. It’d have a can of cola for my favorite soda, and a stuffed penguin and Lady Gaga CD. But that’s just an example!
I hope this helped you with coming up with a great idea for a basket for a friend or little sibling or even a girlfriend or boyfriend. (By the way, a great idea for a girlfriend is to have a necklace or bracelet in the middle of the basket either with the box opened or closed. Your choice). Have fun using your C.I.P.

The euro dived back below $1.12 on Tuesday after European Central Bank officials said the bank could take further action to lower euro zone bond yields and boost inflation, potentially flooding the market with yet more euros.
Sterling was the biggest gainer amongst major currencies on Friday, hitting its highest in over two months against the dollar, on relief that the Conservative Party was set for a surprise outright win at the British national election.
The pound rose versus the dollar, extending a gain from the end of last week, as a gauge of retail sales exceeded analysts’ forecasts and trading patterns suggested the U.K. currency was due to halt its downward trend.
What's to love about the GBP? Not much. The U.K. has an economy that can't recover for any length of time, credit rating downgrades are almost a dead certainty and worst of all there's a risk of a vicious downward spiral if investors lose confidence.

Case XI: Reformation and the Arts
Iconoclasm is, unfortunately, one of the most regrettable legacies of the Protestant Reformation. The visual arts were among the first to suffer as zealots in the British Isles, the Netherlands, and the Swiss Confederacy destroyed statues, whitewashed frescos, and smashed stained glass windows in an effort to be faithful to the commandment ‘Thou shalt not make graven images.’ While such wanton destruction remains lamentable for Western culture, the era was not bereft of all art, and indeed saw the birth of new forms in almost all religious traditions. Secular portrait art, for example, flourished in both Protestant and Catholic territories as the Renaissance spirit spread across the Continent, and carved funerary monuments in newly reformed churches began to replace the images of saints. Changes to the liturgy saw the introduction of a cappella congregational psalm-singing in Scotland, the Netherlands, and the Swiss cantons, while in the Anglican Communion a new form of plainchant, introduced by John Merbecke (ca. 1510-ca. 1585), would establish a musical tradition that lasts to the present day. The Council of Trent also decreed changes to service music that saw the emergence of such polyphonic giants as Palestrina, Vittoria, and Lassus. Metaphysical poetry emerged from the pens of Counter-Reformation saints and Anglican divines alike. The world of Catholic architecture was energized by the appearance of the Baroque, an aesthetic that was eventually embraced by Protestant London, Bern, and Stockholm. In this era of transition, the printer’s arts also served the development of European culture, to which these few examples bear witness.
Nicolas de Marle. Missa ad imitationem moduli (Panis quem ego dabo). Paris: Adrien Le Roy & Robert Ballard, 1559.
Nicolas de Marle was choirmaster of the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Noyon in Picardy in 1568, the same church in which the reformer John Calvin had been baptized almost sixty years earlier. This musical Mass setting is known as a ‘parody’ or ‘imitation Mass’: one that uses a fragment of pre-existing music, such as a popular song or a motet, as the basis for its own melodic structure. Parody Masses, based on secular songs, were condemned by the Council of Trent in 1562. Many composers, however, continued to incorporate imitation into their Mass settings for centuries, with Palestrina alone providing more than fifty examples. While Italian and French churches mostly complied with Trent’s decree, it was largely ignored in the Germanic territories, where the new Lutheran forms of worship were employing popular music within the liturgy.
Clément Marot (1495?-1544) and Théodore Beza (1519-1605). Les pseaumes de David: mis en rime françoise. Charenton: Antoine Cellier, 1647.
Marot’s French translation of the Psalms was popular with Protestants, especially after his paraphrases were set to music by the Huguenots Claude Goudimel (who was killed during the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of 1572) and Claude le Jeune. Goudimel composed over three hundred musical settings for the singing of the Psalms in Calvinist worship, seventy of which were in the parody style. The first volume of Calvin’s ‘Geneva Psalter’ appeared in 1539, and included twelve of Marot’s paraphrases together with six written by Calvin himself. In time, Calvin’s collaborator Théodore Beza added his own translations to the growing Psalter and, although Calvin’s translations eventually disappeared from the books, Marot’s and Beza’s were reproduced in numerous editions over the centuries. Paraphrase hymns such as Rendez à Dieu (Ps. 118), displayed here, remain popular with congregations throughout the world.
Ambrosius Lobwasser (1515-1585). Psalmen Davids nach frantzösischer Meloden und Reymen Art in teutsche Reymen verständlich und deutich gebracht. The Hague, 1629.
The congregational singing of hymns, which had become common practice in the late medieval Germanic church, was strongly reinforced by the incorporation of Luther’s translation of the Psalms in public worship. By the middle of the sixteenth century, memorable French Calvinist Psalter tunes had become popular, but since relations between the two main Protestant groups were strained at the time, the tunes were rejected in many regions. Captivated by their beautiful melodies, the Lutheran humanist Ambrosius Lobwasser decided to translate Marot’s text into German, and retain the fashionable French airs. The new translation was broadly accepted in Saxony and Switzerland, and eventually saw forty editions between 1586 and 1694. This manuscript copy, transcribed by André Wecheln, the first Postmaster General of Sweden, is unique for its inclusion of Luther’s Psalm translations as well as Lobwasser’s.
Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591). Obras espirituales que encaminan a vna alma ala perfecta vnion con Dios. Alcalá de Henares: By the widow of Andres Sanches Ezpeleta, 1618.
Like Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross worked to reform his branch of the Carmelite order. He was accused of being a crypto-Lutheran for his efforts and was held captive for nine months beginning in December 1577, flogged by his confrères daily. It was in that airless cell, however, that he conceived the mystical poetry first published in this book that would inspire generations. They remain among the greatest triumphs of Counter-Reformation art, and speak forcefully of a renewed religion of the heart, beautifully expressed in his most famous poem ‘Noche oscura’ in which John draws his inspiration both from secular romance as well as the Song of Songs. The particularly fine portrait of the saint presenting his writings to Christ was executed by the Toledo engraver, Diego Astor, who also served in the Royal Mint.
George Herbert (1593-1633). The Temple: Sacred Poems, and Private Ejaculations. London: Printed by R.N. for Philemon Stephens, 1660.
Herbert’s gift for words was such that it was unclear at times whether he was destined for the service of the state or the altar. In the end, he declared for the church, and became one of the greatest of Anglican luminaries – a priest, poet, and musician. This collection, his greatest work, includes two intriguing ‘shape’ or ‘pattern poems’: ‘Easter Wings’ and ‘The Altar.’ The words are arranged in such a way that the typography is at least as important in conveying meaning as the words themselves. For mystical poets like Herbert the physical form of letters communicated a spiritual significance beyond their linguistic meaning, just as the case had been for many ancient Hebrew authors. Their dramatic layout, therefore, is not merely whimsical; it forms part of the intellectual framework behind their texts. Besides their mystical associations, Herbert’s shape poetry may also be seen as an ancestor to the concrete poetry of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) and Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677). The History of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. London: Thomas Warren, 1658.
Dugdale’s book is valued today for its preservation of images of a magnificent building that was destroyed by the Great Fire that would occur eight years after it was printed. In its own day, however, it was intended as an urgent appeal against the iconoclasm of the English Civil War and the subsequent Puritan ascendancy, which had contributed to the decay of the Gothic cathedral. In 1643, the building was partitioned, with the eastern end of the choir walled off as a preaching space, while horses were stabled in the church’s vast nave. By the time Hollar, arguably the greatest engraver of the seventeenth century, made his etchings, a side chapel was occupied by a glass blower, part of the crypt a wine merchant’s cellar, bakers had set up ovens between the buttresses, and part of the south transept had collapsed. Displayed is one of Hollar’s greatest masterpieces, the impressive tunnel perspective of the old cathedral’s nave.
Giovanni Battista Costaguti (d. 1625). Architettura della Basilica di S. Pietro in Vaticano. Rome: Camera Apostolica, 1684.
This last book records the magnificent architecture of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the church whose initial construction was financed, at least in part, through the sale of indulgences. Costaguti was papal major domo under Pope Paul V and so it may be assumed that his book reflects contemporary papal opinion on the building project. He compiled it specifically to record the immense difficulties faced while constructing the great portico of the Basilica. The engravings by Martino Ferrabosco record, not only the appearance of St Peter’s as it could be seen in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, but also his suggestions for what the building could become. Displayed is the artist’s rendering of his ideas for the completion of the façade, piazza, and towers of St Peter’s.

Wooden pallet collars
10 July 2017
From state-of-the-art lightshows used by the latest headlining rock band to high quality engineering parts – they all need the correct packaging.
These are just two examples of how wooden pallet collars can help provide the right solution for shipping and storage.
Wooden pallet collars are used to transform any wooden pallet into a secure box. A pallet collar is made up of four panels of wood approximately 190mm high, hinged at each corner enabling it to fold flat when not in use.
It can be quickly opened out and fitted onto a pallet to create a strong wooden box. The height of the ‘box’ sides can be increased by simply adding other collars on top up to the required height.
Pallet collars can be used in any warehouse racking system where a pallet is used or stacked on top of each other to provide independent storage of products.
The resulting box loaded with product can be conveniently moved around a warehouse, loaded or unloaded onto a trailer for shipment or pallet racking with a forklift truck.
The Billington Group has been a supplier of pallet collars since 1985. MD Frank Billington said: “Pallet collars are an incredibly versatile product and it amazes me that some companies don’t appreciate how useful they are.
“We fulfil orders from 50 collars to 50,000, from blue chip companies to small independent firms. Once companies have found how useful they are, they invariably re-order.”www.billington-group.co.uk

1. Bring ample liquids
TSA allows you to bring more than the standard of 3.4 ounces of liquid when you’re traveling with an infant. So take advantage of the exception and prepare your bottles of breast milk, formula or juice in advance, and pack them in a small cooler bag that fits neatly inside your carry on. Just remember to separate the bottles from the rest of your belongings and inform the TSA officer at the beginning of the screening process to avoid delays.
3. A Tote is the new Diaper Bag
Diaper bags have come a long way in the last decade, so you no longer have to sacrifice style for function, but to me a tote bag is the new diaper bag! They’re perfect for traveling with a baby, especially when it fits pocket inserts to keep everything organized. The bonus? You save on luggage space and it doubles as a great beach bag when you arrive at your destination!
4. More is More when it comes to clothing
Things can get really messy, really quickly on a plane. Pack at least 2 changes of clothes for your little one and one for yourself. Feeling fresh and clean will help you hit the ground running when you arrive!
5. Take at least 3 Blankets
I’m like the blanket lady when I get on a plane! First I spread a couple of light, swaddle blankets over the seats to keep things cozy and clean, then I use another as a light shade when Minnie sleeps. I also always have a heavier blanket on hand to wrap her in for warmth, since planes can be over air conditioned and often too cold for little ones.
6. Bring an all-in-one stroller, car seat and travel bag
Invest in a multi-functional travel system that includes a stroller with a detachable infant seat, and a travel bag that can hang neatly on the stroller. Trust me on this – it allows you to stroll through the airport with your belongings in one place and your arms free, which definitely saves time and stress during travel.

Climate change's impacts on crop yields may force as many as seven million Mexicans to emigrate to the U.S. over the next 70 years, according to research published July 26 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study is among the first to attempt to put hard numbers on questions about "environmental refugees" that may be caused by climate change.
"There is a significant response of emigration from Mexico to past climate variations," says atmospheric scientist Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University, an author of the study. "Climate changes predicted by the global circulation models would cause several percent of the Mexican population to move north [if] all other factors are held constant."
Based on historical patterns of emigration, crop yield and climate change between 1995 and 2005, the researchers project that as much as 10 percent of Mexico's population could be forced to migrate in coming decades. In essence, for every 10 percent reduction in crop yield as a result of climate change an additional 2 percent of Mexicans would emigrate. The U.S. National Research Council (NRC) estimates that every degree Celsius of warming in global average temperatures means a 5 to 15 percent drop in yield, particularly for corn, in North America.
The number of climate refugees could be significant, anywhere from 1.4 million to 6.7 million Mexicans, depending on how much warming actually occurs. The researchers attempted to account for other variables that governed migration in the past—from the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to U.S. border control policy—and isolate the impact of climate change. "For NAFTA, we took special pains to ensure the robustness of the result by comparing Mexican states that were greatly affected by NAFTA with those which were not," Oppenheimer says.
But the study relies on census data to estimate actual emigration, and it assumes that climate change's impact on maize production—for example, via drought—caused migration in the past and will cause it again in future. "Migration decisions, like all livelihood decisions, are about much more than material quality of life," argues geographer Edward Carr of the University of South Carolina, who studies human migration in countries such as Ghana and was not involved in the Mexico emigration research. "What I am seeing in sub-Saharan Africa are very complex patterns in which environmental change is but one of several causal factors."
The growth in those causal factors—from a population boom to reduced economic opportunity in the countryside—has driven the greatest migration worldwide in recent history. As of 2005, roughly three percent of the world's population lived outside their country of birth—the largest proportion ever recorded by the United Nations. And this represents but a small fraction of migration, since the bulk of that occurs within a given nation from rural to urban areas. "Most often international migration is not an option and rural residents migrate to urban areas, contributing to urbanization and urban poverty in developing countries," says sociologist Elizabeth Fussell of Washington State University.
That is certainly the case in Mexico, according to population and migration researcher Haydea Izazola of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco, also not part of Oppenheimer's team for the new study. "The great majority of the rural population who grow maize—rain-fed agriculture—for their own consumption are the poorest of the poor and lack the means to invest in the very expensive and risky migration venture."
In fact, recent trends indicate it is city residents and educated elites who are driving migration from Mexico today, Izazola notes, suggesting a possible shift from the period in this study. That may be because Mexico experienced a severe drought starting in 1994 that persisted throughout this period, making farmers more "susceptible to these climate effects since there was no time to adapt to them," Fussell speculates. "Migration [is] one of several options rural households face when they confront diminishing livelihoods such as a decline in crop yields."
Once that process begins, however, it can be self-reinforcing, as community members share their experience—and any wealth gained in the new country—with folks back home. Regardless, "if our study results are valid, the effect could be significant in many regions" of the world, Oppenheimer argues.
Of course, the worst-case scenario in this analysis ignores the possibility of new crop varieties that maintain (or improve) yields under warmer average temperatures. "How much can we adapt?" asked climate scientist Susan Solomon of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at the release of the NRC report on July 16 "Look at corn. Maybe we can choose to grow something else or genetically engineer that corn to make it more robust."
And climate change is not confined to Mexico. Crop yields in the U.S. will likely suffer as well. "People do not move blindly; they move to greater opportunity," Carr notes. "So we should probably be using [these economic and climate] models to examine the impact of future climate change on various migrant-employing sectors of the southwestern U.S. economy."
In fact, that is exactly what Oppenheimer and his colleagues are currently working on next: predicting how crop yields in the U.S. may impact the immigration debate.

The Long March of History: Farm Wages, Population and Economic Growth, England 1209-1869
Gregory Clark ()
No 170, Working Papers from University of California, Davis, Department of Economics
The paper forms three series for English farm workers 1209-1869: nominal daywages, the implied marginal product of a day of farm labour, and thepurchasing power of a days? wage in terms of farm workers? consumption.These series suggest that labour productivity in English agriculture was alreadyhigh in the middle ages. Further they fit well with one method of estimatingmedieval population which suggests a peak English population circa 1300 ofnearly 6 million. Finally they imply that both agricultural technology and thegeneral efficiency of the economy was static from 1250 till 1600. Economicchanges were in these years entirely a product of demographic shifts. Finallyin 1600 to 1800 technological advance in agriculture provided an alternativesource of dynamism in the English economy.

Rumours: How exactly could CONMEBOL punish Messi for his infamous corruption rant?
- The Argentinean still doesn't know which consequences he could face after accusing the CONMEBOL officials of corruption.
- TYC Sports believe he could be banned from international football for two or six months.
- He would still be able to take part in next year's Copa America and 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
This Wednesday, July 24, CONMEBOL revealed an official punishment for Lionel Messi for the unfair red card he received during the Copa Amerca third-place playoff game against Chile. The Argentinean was wrongly sent off for a chest-to-chest altercation with Gary Medel.
The official verdict rules out that Messi will only miss ONE match due to suspension. He is also obliged to pay $1500 fine.
However, Messi's infamous CONMEBOL insult case is still pending review. TYC Sports now reveal the alleged consequences Messi could face following his corruption allegations targeted at the Copa America officials.
They say Messi could be suspended from international football for two or even six months. This would still allow him to take part in next year's Copa America tournament and World Cup qualifiers. In fact, he would only miss several friendlies scheduled for September, October and November.
Last month, Messi claimed after the 2-0 Copa America semi-finals defeat to Brazil that the whole tournament is 'set up' for the Selecao to win it. Eventually, Messi was sensationally sent off in the third-place playoff against Chile while Brazil scooped the trophy.

Is wearable tech just a passing trend or will retailers actually embrace it? Look no further than to Amazon.com. Earlier this year, the online retail giant quietly opened up its wearable tech store. Now they are starting to exploit the growing consumer interest in wearable tech with a commercial pitching devices not yet available. It is calculated to whet the fast growing appetite for cutting-edge devices now in Amazon’s pipeline of development.

Yarmouth company cranks out tens of thousands of holiday cookies
'Tis the season for cookies, and nowhere is that more evident than inside the headquarters of Cookies Direct in Yarmouth.
"The girls come in at six in the morning, and they just crank cookies out all day long until the orders are filled, and they come back and do it the next day and we keep going and going and going." said Debbie Godowski, who founded Cookies Direct in 1991.
In the roughly three-and-a-half weeks between Thanksgiving and Dec. 21, Cookies Direct bakes and ships roughly 40,000 homemade cookies. That's nearly half of its entire yearly business.
"Everybody likes cookies. They make great gifts because if you're sending them to a group of people, an office or a family, there's a little bit of something for everyone," said Godowski.
Cookies Direct does not change any recipes for the holiday season, instead it sticks to the popular, traditional cookies it sells year-round: ginger, sugar cookies and chocolate chip.
Godowski said the most popular cookie is her chocolate chip.
Make sure to order by Dec. 21 because after that day the crew shuts down the kitchen for a well-deserved couple of weeks off.
