Casual workers who have worked regular and systematic hours are now entitled a permanent employee’s entitlements, according to a Federal Court of Australia judgment.
The court confirmed that “predictable periods of working time” constituted a permanent employment and are therefore owed permanent entitlements.
The court case involved a retired Glencore Australia worker who had spent his time at the Collinsville and Newlands coal mines in Queensland and New South Wales, respectively from 2014 to 2018.
Australian Resources and Energy Group AMMA stated that the court’s “remarkable” position was highly damaging to business confidence and would see more internationally-funded class action law firms.
“Most would agree it is rather unfair that an employee could accept a higher rate of pay for being casually engaged, only to later also claim for back-paid permanent entitlements such as annual leave and redundancy, due to their patterns of work,” AMMA chief executive Steve Knott said.
“Many Australian businesses – small, medium and large – are hanging on by their fingernails in this COVID-19 environment. The prospect of having to defend up to six years’ worth of back pay claims from former casual employees is the last thing they need.”
AMMA also intends to urge the federal government to amend the Fair Work Act to define a casual employee as one that has been “engaged and paid as such”.
The industry body also suggested an automatic right for casual employees who work on a regular and systematic basis to convert to permanency after 12 months with the same employer.
“Casual employment and labour hire is a small but very important function of Australia’s labour market,” Knott said.
“In the resources industry, where it comprises about 16 per cent of the total workforce, casual employment often provides a foot-in-the-door in entry level positions for people new to the industry.
“At the other end of the spectrum, highly-skilled employees often take well-paid casual contracts where their capabilities are in greatest demand.
“Until the Australian Parliament fixes this issue with a clear, common-sense definition of casual employment, businesses will remain reluctant to hire casuals or provide existing casual employees with any regularity in their working hours.”
Business New South Wales, a peak policy and advocacy body that represents businesses in the state, made the same, urgent call for a federal government action.
“These court decisions are sending shock waves through the business community who have acted in good faith and on the understanding that they were paying casual staff higher hourly rates in compensation for leave entitlements,” Business New South Wales chief executive Stephen Cartwright said.
“That has of course all now been thrown out the window yet again in another court decision that has allowed casual employees to double dip.
“This has the potential to cost employers across the nation billions of dollars, which would be a devastating blow in this economic environment and an inhibitor to employers re-engaging their regular casual staff as we emerge from the lockdown.”
Business New South Wales had proposed a new employment category – perma-flex – to signify flexible, ongoing employment.
Under this classification, a regularly rostered casual can convert into a permanent employee and receive flexible hours and paid leave entitlements, but this was opposed by the unions.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Los Angeles authorities found two bodies “on the premises” of a three-structure property in Los Angeles Sunday.
Crews needed over an hour to knock down the house fire, which spread to two nearby structures, because the sound of gunfire coming from inside the fiery blaze forced firefighters to stand back out of concern for their safety, according to KCBS.
"We went into a defensive operation, meaning that we surrounded that home due to the concern we are working very close with law enforcement. We did notify bomb squad. However, since this building is so structurally compromised due to the amount of fire and char and burn...it's not safe for police officers to go inside."Capt. Erik Scott, Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD)
The victims have not been publicly identified and no cause of the fire has been announced. However, the LAFD announced that one of the victims was a woman.
Not only that, a neighbor, Corey Macgregor, said a firefighter rescued a parrot from the house fire.
"One firefighter brought out a parrot...brought it out and it was, it was okay. And he just had to have somebody hold onto us. The neighbor grabbed it, asked me if I wanted it, but I can't hold a parrot, but hopefully the parrot will be fine and find a home."Corey Macgregor, neighbor

Aamir Khan is all set to make a comeback after a short break with two exciting projects in the pipeline. The first one is a reunion of Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi, and the second one is a remake of the Spanish film Champions.
Aamir Khan set to kickstart projects with Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol, to start Champions in January: Report
According to a report by PinkVilla, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi are considering various titles for their action-packed drama. The film is expected to go on floors in December/January 2024, and an official announcement is expected on October 19 – Sunny Deol’s 66th birthday.
Like all their previous collaborations, the next one too will be a dramatic actioner with the key character being a vigilante taking a stand against society. A source close to the development told the publication, “Aamir, Santoshi, and Sunny had a long meeting last evening and have come on the same page with regard to finances and shooting timelines. The 3-month marathon shooting is expected to begin in January,” the source shared. On calling it a wrap on the Sunny Deol film, Rajkumar Santoshi will begin his work on his next which has Aamir Khan in lead role.”
Speaking of Champions, the source asserted, “Champions is presently in the casting stage and is ready to hit the floors on January 20. The prep work is also in progress too.”
For the unversed, Champions is said to be the remake of the Spanish film of the same name. It will be directed by RS Prassana. The film is expected to go on floors in January 2024 and will hit the big screen during the Christmas 2024 weekend.

To determine the metallicity of an HVC we must first
the velocity of the given cloud. As a result of the Doppler shift, an
ion in an HVC absorbs photons at a slightly different wavelength than
would be measured in a laboratory from a given orbital transition.
Consequently, the shift of the absorption can be directly used to find
the velocity of the ion. So we look at the
absorption range of a given detected metal and by comparing this with
the neutral hydrogen 21-cm absorption spectra we can find the velocity of
obtaining a range for the velocity of the high velocity cloud we are
ready to measure the absorption. We do this by first fitting a
continuum to the data and then by measuring the column density and
equivalent width of the absorption line.
we find the combination of column density (N) and intrinsic line width
(b) that best predicts the measured equivalent widths. Normally, Iron
or Oxygen will give the best constraint on b. Consequently, the b value
that we find
for that ion is then used to find the column densities for the rest
of the ions. In the end this method should give us the most accurate
column densities for each ion.
combine the derived column density with the neutral hydrogen column
density to determine the abundance of the ion as compared
to the known abundance of the ion in the Sun. This gives us a ratio
that allows us to more readily determine the origins of the high

One dog was struck with a tire iron and another pet was stabbed on Monday as the dogs sprung into action to save their family during an attack from a man brandishing a knife in Brooksville, Florida. The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Duffield Road and Cedar Lane after having received 911 calls from neighbors about a man acting delusional.
Moments before deputies arrived, a homeowner stated the crazed man, identified as Taylor Kendall Hodge, 26 had broken into their home threatening everyone with a knife. As the dogs went into action to keep their family safe, the family’s pit bull was struck with a tire iron. And that’s when the Basset Hound named Levi, tried to help, and he was subsequently stabbed. Both dogs have been transported to a local vet for treatment.
Witnesses stated the suspect screamed “I’m on meth,” as he ran down the road just prior to being confronted by deputies.
According to WtspNews, Sheriff Nienhuis stated deputies tried to subdue Hodge with an electronic control device, however Hodge attacked the deputies prompting authorities to shoot.
“This person was obviously in crisis, obviously delusional and obviously very dangerous,” Nienhuis said.
The two deputies involved in the shooting are identified as Deputies James Desmond and Earnest Johnson. Both officers are currently on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The dogs, belonging to homeowner Terry Greene are currently in the care of Three Oaks Veterinarian Clinic. The family has a fundraiser to help pay for the veterinary expenses the family say they cannot afford. Levi remains at the clinic.
“This dog saved our family from man who ran though our home with knife,” states Terry.

In recent news two of Hollywood’s black queen actresses Nia Long and Taraji P. Henson are at odds after a few disagreements took place on set of FOX’S hit show Empire.
Just within 24 hours of the story breaking headlines, TMZ reports that a legal action is allegedly taking place.
According to multiple sources, this is the first complaint of the show’s history. The hair and makeup team on the set of Empire made a complaint over Long’s allegedly rude comments. While the report states “well- placed production sources”, the Love Jones actress threatened to sue the show over an “improper goodbye”
.After learning of Long’s disrespectful and unprofessional comments on the show, it didn’t take long for (Cookie) Taraji P. Henson to set the record straight.
Reportedly, the hostility on set was so bad producers were forced to shoot seperate scenes to avoid a possible confrontation.On top of Long’s feud with the makeup and hair team, Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson was forced to use a stand in to rehearse because, Long would be “habitually late” forcing Howard and Henson to wait 30 minutes to shoot.

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disorder that usually results in unforeseeable hair loss. Each year a large number of people are affected by this problem. In most cases, hair fall takes place in small batches, normally sizing a quarter. However, in certain cases, it can be more extreme. It can lead to entire hair loss on the scalp or in worst cases from the entire body. This happens mostly before the age of 30.
How do we treat alopecia areata?
We recommend a wait-and-see approach if the problem is existing for less than a year. In this the hair may regrow on its own, thus making treatment unnecessary. Later on, further factors are brought into consideration:
- Your age
- The amount of hair loss you have
- Where you have hair loss
It is important to note that no single treatment is applicable to everyone.
In case you are older than 10 years of age and have a few patches of alopecia areata, then we will recommend one or more of the following treatments:
Injections of corticosteroids: In this, we will inject this medication on the bald area to help you regrow hair. These are given between 4 to 8 weeks as needed. This is most beneficial as more than 80% who were treated with these injections had at least half of their hair regrow within 12 weeks.
Minoxidil or Corticosteroids to apply: You will need to apply it 2 to 3 times a day. It’s helpful for the beard area, scalp and eyebrows. Depending on the skin type the treatments are recommended.

City Council mulling ShotSpotter expansion
Detroit City Council is considering spending more than $8 million in federal pandemic relief funds to renew and expand a controversial gunshot surveillance technology.
Why it matters: Police say ShotSpotter, which identifies the sound of gunshots by placing live microphones in public places, gives them pinpoint accuracy to locate gunshots. Others say it's invasive and questionably effective.
Context: ShotSpotter is currently being used in Detroit's 8th and 9th precincts, a total of about 6.5 square miles.
- DPD is requesting $7 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to expand the tool to 28 miles and cover more districts.
- The city signed the initial $1.5 million contract with ShotSpotter in 2020, the Detroit News reported.
- Both contracts would run to Dec. 31, 2024.
What they're saying: "With a police department budget of $400 million, where is the $400 million for poverty prevention?" Minister Eric Blount of Sacred Heart Catholic Church said at yesterday's City Council meeting. "We must quickly get to the point of dedicating more resources to poverty prevention measures and away from the 'catch and jail.'"
- Council Member Angela Whitfield-Calloway suggested money that could be used to expand ShotSpotter should instead address the housing crisis.
The other side: "If council is going to be serious about the issue of gun violence I think they should approve these contracts," said Willie Bell, the Detroit Board of Police Commissioner for District 4.
What's next: A possible committee discussion on June 13 and a future vote by the full council, BridgeDetroit reports.

2022 VC SurveyHow will Israel’s political protests affect investors in 2023?
2022 VC Survey
How will Israel’s political protests affect investors in 2023?
NGP Capital joined CTech for its “2022 VC Survey” series to share predictions for the year ahead.
“The global macroeconomic situation will continue to have a major impact on the Israeli startup market, however, that impact will be both positive and negative,” shared Christian Noske, Partner at NGP Capital. “On the positive side, we will see increased government spending on technology and defense, especially by European and US Governments.”
Unfortunately, Noske also identified three main areas of risk in the year ahead, one of which was the ongoing protests against Israel’s new government taking place each week. “Israel’s domestic politics created a wave of protest from tech and VC leaders warning that the new changes will lead to business activity slow-down or redistribution if the policy doesn’t change,” he explained.
Name of fund/funds: NGP Capital, we launched our fifth fund – Fund V - in February 2022 Total sum of fund: $1.6B under management Partners: Bo Ilsoe – Managing Partner, Christian Noske - Partner, Upal Basu – Partner, Paul Asel – Partner, Monica Johnson - Operating Partner & CFO, Matti Vänskä - Partner Notable/select portfolio companies: Moovit (Acquired), Deliveroo (IPO) PubMatic (IPO), Lime, Immuta, Scandit, SecurityScorecard, Coda, Shippeo, Spacefill, DataLoop, Akeyless, and Perception Point
Noske joined CTech as part of its “2022 VC Survey” series to share how trends both micro and macro can make a difference for investors.
If 2020 was the year of the pandemic, and 2021 was the year of records, how would you define 2022 in the VC sector?
We would define 2022 as a year of major adjustment. First, we saw major reductions in job openings with startups, and then later in the year, we saw layoffs across the global technology sector. Many VC funds reduced their investment activities substantially and started focusing much more on their existing portfolios. This, in turn, meant many portfolio companies saw very different board dynamics and levels of VC involvement. Even the language their boards and investors were using changed: for example, growth at all costs turned into discussions around run-rate extensions (at least 18 months, ideally up to 36 months) and efficiency metrics, like growth efficiency scores or CAC-paybacks, became much more important.
That meant Series A+ companies needed to adjust before they went out to raise funds. As we’ve seen in previous downturns, many tried to extend their run-rate with bridge rounds at last year’s valuations or raised internal rounds with existing investors. The few that didn’t have deep pockets had to reduce their expectations of round size and valuations drastically. We saw companies receiving new term sheets at a 30% valuation of what they have received two months prior in the middle of 2022, and half of the funding. That dilution is often painful for founders and changing their expectations takes time.
It’s worth noting that once again the US market reacted 1-2 quarters faster than the European and Israeli markets – which shows that being close to the public markets means the private markets feel any changes, and need to adjust, much quicker.
Who are the big winners of 2022 and why?
Last year’s winners were created through macro-economic events, for example, accelerated digitization in the enterprise and across governments, global conflict, and climate change. In terms of sectors, this meant we saw growth across defense and energy-related technology, specific cyber applications, and environmental tech like carbon accounting and capturing. There were differences between regions in terms of how the pull and push was felt by markets, but these were global trends.
Who are the big losers of 2022 and why?
The big losers were companies that had benefited from the ‘goldrush mentality’ of 2020/2021. I would point out that B2C companies in quick-commerce and fintech suffered the most, but Web 3.0 has also experienced a dramatic change in market sentiment. Anecdotally, many Web 3.0 cheerleading VCs jumped ship quickly, as the area became less sexy. Many seem to have jumped on the next hot thing: generative AI. Web 3.0 and VCs who are dedicated to the area are likely to benefit from those trends in the long term. Not least because the startups that are still standing are laser-focused on building the infrastructure the World needs to best deploy the benefits of Web 3.0 for both consumers and businesses.
What do you expect in the VC sector in 2023?
2023 will be a great year for technology. With the wider use of generative AI and its application across numerous use cases and industries. Generative AI is not necessarily new, indeed my team and I have been excited about it for a while, but the qualitative jumps we’ve seen in the last few years in addition to new user interfaces will make it real for a far wider audience. Over the last couple of months, we have seen already a few companies coming out of Israel leveraging this exciting technology and we expect more to come especially with a data/DevOps angle to it.
At the same time, we expect to see a very tough 2023 for startups, who raised their last round in 2020/2021, including many who raised a small bridge round in 2022. We expect to see more headlines around businesses closing, slashed valuations for many unicorns, and lots of M&A with all-share types of deals.
NGP Capital continues to be highly active in Israel and the wider global market – it’s a good time for investors, and we are looking forward to working with some of the new companies that are created during this time. I would expect that much of the ‘dry powder’ will still be conservatively invested in 2023, at least by the ‘vintage funds of 2019-2021’.
It is also likely that we will see many GPs closing new funds in 2023. LPs are likely to stick to their existing fund investments and continue to support them. New funds that come out in 2023 will already have been in fundraising for 12-24 months, but we will continue to see slowdowns in closing their LPs.
What global processes will affect (positively and negatively) the Israeli market?
The global macroeconomic situation will continue to have a major impact on the Israeli startup market, however, that impact will be both positive and negative.
On the positive side, we will see increased government spending on technology and defense, especially by European and US Governments.
Some of the most robust and growing topics in 2023, like generative AI, cyber and deep tech, are areas where Israel is very strong, and any recession will have less of an impact compared to less mature and less deep tech-savvy markets.
On the negative side, I see three areas of risk:
- The continued US and EU market slowdown and its ongoing impact on sales cycles and deal sizes for Israel tech.
- A continued VC slowdown and reduction of VC activities. US money plays a major role in Israel, and many US investors will be focussing on the US market during 2023.
- Israel’s domestic politics created a wave of protest from tech and VC leaders warning that the new changes will lead to business activity slow-down or redistribution if the policy doesn’t change.
How should different companies (large, medium, early-stage) prepare for the coming year?
Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all solution, but I would advise all small and large startups to be opportunistic and not to get stuck on valuation expectations or to hold on to their expansion plans, if their sales cycles and ACVs don’t improve and return to their previous levels.
New markets will be less important, so startups should look at stabilizing growth in their core markets, with good growth efficiency. At the same time, there is still a lot of money in the market, so if you can show great efficiency metrics and growth, there is unlimited capital available at very high valuations.
Knowing where you stand will be critical, and I would recommend regularly asking trusted VCs and fellow startup founders for their advice. The challenges you face today are unlikely to be the same as the ones you face tomorrow. Especially in today’s global market. Success requires not only a focused founding team with a clear vision; but also, characters with the flexibility and lack of ego to change quickly. That might mean you need to switch your focus from driving 100% growth to driving profitability, or you might need to raise a smaller funding round than you initially hoped.
I have seen founders successfully use a combination of intuition, planning, and advice from other founders and investors to adjust their course quickly. After all, no entrepreneur’s journey is the same and we will all find different ways to get on the right path.
What will be of the dozens of unicorns born last year?
Unicorns will still be born at a great rate, just not at a comparable rate to 2020/21. As long as companies follow the new fundamentals I described above there are tons of opportunities out there and that is not going to change.
The big question for me is how these companies can attract and retain the right talent, as top talent tends to be a bit more risk averse and might want to stay at their highly paid job at Google, rather than take a risk and join an ‘uncertain’ startup.
The counterargument is that the major layoffs we have seen create a lot of opportunities for younger, early foundation phase companies, particularly in terms of talent acquisition. Don’t forget that the financial crisis in 2008/9 gave birth to the NYC startup ecosystem and many well-known unicorns across the US like Slack, Airbnb, and Square were created.
What sectors in high-tech should we look out for in the coming year - and why?
In addition to defense and energy-related technology, specific cyber applications, and environmental tech, look out for the 10x improvement through the integration of generative AI in both enterprise software and DevOps companies.
Female founders are still grossly heavily underfunded and need to be approached more openly. Climatetech will see a big increase in large contracts in Europe and will graduate from a political headline to an obvious VC opportunity for many generalist funds.
These areas all play to the strengths of the Israeli tech ecosystem, so I’m excited about this year (2023) and beyond.
We are currently at a point in time where various technologies are converging and have reached a critical point of maturity. AI is a great example of that. Robotics is too. Automating tasks, driving efficiencies, and enabling sectors, like manufacturing, to scale globally. It’s not about replacing people. Many industries just don’t have those people in their businesses in the first place. I believe the next few years will see large-scale deployment of AI and automation-related business, alongside its supporting infrastructure.
HR: Do the layoffs, those that have already happened and those that are coming, help to fix in any way the distress experienced by companies over the past 2-3 years?
It’s easy to get used to things – it’s just human nature. High salaries and benefits won’t disappear overnight, and the current economic pressure may not have changed the expectations of many employees. I believe we will see two trends emerging:
- Startups will pivot towards attracting and retaining talent by communicating the vision and mission of the company, as opposed to offering high salaries and the lifestyles associated with startups.
- Employees and talent will learn quickly how to do more with less. This will ultimately not only help their current company, but it will also create a new group of future founders that I’m excited to see grow and innovate.
We remain fiercely bullish about the opportunities offered by the Israeli ecosystem, both in terms of tech and talent. Having invested in Akeyless and Dataloop last year, in addition to continuing to support our active portfolio company Perception Point, we are always looking for founders who have the drive and motivation to create lasting societal impact and economic value on a global scale. Meeting a founder face to face is hugely important. I love getting to know their strengths and weaknesses, their approach to learning, their awareness of how they impact those around them, and their vision of the future of their business.
Akeyless, Dataloop, SVT Robotics - NGP Capital’s notable portfolio companies:
Akeyless is a fast-growing cybersecurity company serving mid-to-large enterprises. Akeyless was founded in 2019 by Shai Onn, Refael Angel, and Oded Hareven with the vision to protect and manage any secret in any environment. Named by Gartner in several reports related to the growing need to secure machine and workload identities, Akeyless has been acknowledged by F500 customers and cybersecurity influencers as the leading solution for secret management in DevOps and cloud environments. A fast-growing cybersecurity company serving mid-to-large enterprises.
Founders: Shai Onn, Refael Angel, and Oded Hareven Founding year: 2019 Number of employees: 80+
Explanation behind investment: Secrets management is a foundational capability for any company hoping to develop secure software, and Akeyless is the leader in the space. But we think it’s only the beginning. With secrets management as its starting point, Akeyless is creating the next-generation identity and access management company. The company has already shown proof points of this broader vision by, for example, launching a secure remote access product. More to come!
Dataloop Founded in 2017, Dataloop is a technology company that builds data infrastructure and a SaaS data operating system for AI companies. Businesses of every size – from startups to public companies – use its cloud platform to accelerate the development and deployment of AI into production. The Dataloop platform offers a new data development stack – combining data application extendability sitting atop our platform, and that consists of a full data lifecycle management system for unstructured data. Enabling AI teams to visualize, collaborate and explore datasets, build data pipeline automation processing and weave human and machine intelligence, its cloud-based infrastructure provides scalability, security, and reliability. Dataloop is based in Herzelia, Israel
Founders: Eran Shlomo (CEO), Avi Yashar (CPO), and Nir Buschi (CBO) Founding year: 2017 Number of employees: 80+
Explanation behind investment: Data management and labeling capabilities are crucial for building new AI-based products and companies. For example, Snowflake states in its 2022 data science report that by 2025 80% of the world’s data will be unstructured, and only 0.5% of the data is analyzed today. The preparation of data (data loading, data cleansing, and data visualization) takes 80% of the work time of data scientists alone (Anacoda), and for each data scientist, there are 1-3 data engineers. This has all we love: A big growing market with a real pain point due to the lack of talent and importance of automation. Automation equals ROI.
SVT Robotics SVT Robotics, whose software orchestrates and simplifies the integration and deployment of robots within warehouses and factories, has become a category leader in industrial robotics within four years of inception. The company has created an agnostic integration platform called SOFTBOT ® Platform, which allows its customers to connect any robot to any enterprise solution, in a matter of days.
Founders: A.K. Schultz Founding year: 2018 Number of employees: 80+
Explanation behind investment: Launched in 2018, SVT Robotics has a singular focus: to develop products that make rapid deployment of enterprise robot technology quick and easy. Its SOFTBOT® Platform eliminates long development cycles and expensive, inflexible custom code. The team has redefined and automated the integration process, enabling their clients to launch complex, multisystem deployments in weeks rather than months or years. Better yet, robotics already connected to SVT Robotics’s platform can be configured with drag-and-drop ease and deployed in just hours. That’s insanely powerful. Rapidly deploy the automation technologies you need today for greater flexibility tomorrow.

The president of National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, Tibisay Lucena , started this Monday in Tunisia an international tour in order to expose the strengths and guarantees of the electoral system of that country.
Lucena ratified the legitimacy of elections presidential, legislative and municipal elections that will be held on May 20.
“The Venezuelan electoral system has a system of guarantees unique in the world. There is no country that can guarantee the integrity of the vote as Venezuela does. The vote is 100 percent automated, “the official said during an interview.

“The election of May 20 is absolutely legitimate because the National Constituent Assembly is, it was convened according to the Constitution, the world is misinformed on this issue to criminalize our democracy,” Lucena explained.

Asked about the issue of international observers, Lucena replied: “We have invited the African Union, the European Union, which has already said no, to the United Nations, which also said no. But we will have the Caricom participation. ”
He also said that they have already invited international electoral bodies, academics, academics, electoral experts, Parliamentarian deputies, Mercosur, members of the European Parliament, journalists, among others.

One performance will be in Orlando; tickets go on sale Oct. 1
Stetson University’s famous Christmas Candlelight concert is a tradition in DeLand that sees a packed house night after night at Stetson’s 700-seat Lee Chapel. This year, the School of Music is launching what it hopes will be a new tradition: one performance at First United Methodist Church in downtown Orlando.
This year, Stetson’s School of Music will honor the historic significance of the 200th anniversary of the writing of “Silent Night” by Austrian church musician Franz Gruber on Christmas Eve in 1818.
“Given the variety of carols, holiday anthems, and sacred works presented, it is most fitting that Stetson’s tradition will once again close with ‘Silent Night,’” said Tim Peter, D.M.A., director of choral activities and professor of music, who is currently serving as interim dean of the School of Music. “The audience will be ensconced with exciting and beautiful music surrounded by over 200 student musicians sharing their talents with their family and friends, our Stetson community in DeLand, and a new audience in greater Orlando.”
In addition to Peter, Stetson faculty collaborating on the concerts include Acting Director of Choral Activities Sandra Peter, D.M.A., who arranged the concert’s rendition of “Silent Night;” Andrew Larson, D.M.A., professor of music and associate director of choral activities; and Boyd Jones, D.M.A., professor of organ and university organist.
The Christmas Candlelight concerts are a holiday tradition that dates back more than 100 years. The spectacular production brings together three separate Stetson University School of Music choirs, the Chamber Orchestra, members of the Symphonic Band and the pipe organist. The four concert performances, this year Nov. 28-Dec. 1, typically sell out quickly.
Tickets for the 2018 Candlelight Concerts will go on sale Oct. 1, and can be purchased through the School of Music ticket website.
Stetson’s fall concert series is already underway and features a performance this weekend by the Chamber Orchestra on Sept. 7, 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the fall and spring concert series – excluding the Christmas Candlelight concerts – are on sale now at the ticket website. The full schedule of School of Music performances includes many that are free and open to the public.

Since founding my namesake brand in 1985, I've continued to look at my key sources of inspiration through a new lens each season. I built my brand on the East Coast Ivy League look -- it's heritage prep and, above all, classic Americana. Each season my collections are rooted in this tradition, always with a modern twist. With the Spring 2014 To Tommy, From Zooey capsule collection, designed in collaboration with Zooey Deschanel, I've had a chance to revisit some of my earliest inspirations and favorite style icons, and reinterpret these influences with a fresh perspective.
I love looking at the silhouettes, colors, prints and fabrics worn by idols, from Grace Kelly and Jackie Onassis to modern day trend-setters like Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessica Alba and Zooey Deschanel. I've always been a fan of Zooey's unique, timeless style, and after meeting her at a brunch in Los Angeles last year, I asked her to collaborate on designing a collection of feminine, playful dresses and accessories. Following red carpet launch events in LA and Mexico City last week, the To Tommy, From Zooey capsule collection is now available online and in select Tommy Hilfiger and Macy's stores. It combines Zooey's youthful, vintage-inspired style with the classic, American, cool spirit at the heart of our brand.
The clean-cut look of the 1960s was at the center of our design philosophy for the To Tommy, From Zooey capsule collection. My ultimate all-American style icon from that era is Jackie Kennedy, who defined glamour and grace. Jackie proved simple can be elegant; she knew how to wear clean lines and monochromatic pieces in a way that was still interesting. Her fashion legacy lives on in oversized sunglasses, capri pants, shift dresses and pillbox hats, which she single-handedly introduced to American fashion.
I've also always admired Grace Kelly, who had a fairytale life and the style to match. Her V-neck gowns, skirt suits and ladylike pearls gave her a sophisticated, understated elegance. Grace's eye for fit and fabric was incredible; she knew how to effortlessly combine that "girl next door" charm with a hint of mystery.
Audrey Hepburn was also a timeless beauty. She wasn't afraid to experiment and didn't shy away from menswear -- some of her best looks were tailored cropped pants, penny loafers and t-shirts. Marilyn Monroe was also a fashion role model in her own right; most people immediately think of her in that iconic white dress from The Seven Year Itch. Marilyn proved that the secret to great style is confidence, which remains one of my mottos for dressing today.
The 1970s was a fantastic decade for fashion; I had just moved to New York to pursue a career as a designer and was inspired by the rise of icons like Farrah Fawcett and Ali McGraw. Aside from Farrah's signature blonde hair, she was a renowned trend-setter in the height of Charlie's Angles for making high-wasted jeans and plaid shirts the must-have pieces. I also admired the way Ali embraced '70s style, from micro shorts to boho prints.
The 21st century is producing its own style icons. I think Charlotte Gainsbourg has a great look that's effortless and cool; she sticks to simple, monochromatic pieces but always gives them an edgy twist. I've also had the pleasure of working with Jessica Alba, who's like a modern-day Grace Kelly with her "girl next door" look. Jessica knows how to mix patterns, prints and colors for a style that's sometimes preppy, sometimes more rebellious and always feminine.
And of course, there's Zooey Deschanel. When we started designing our capsule collection, we looked through all the styles Zooey has been wearing recently, and identified the key silhouettes and details she loves. Then we looked at everything through the lens of the Tommy Hilfiger brand DNA. We incorporated our signature red, white and blue, and combined vintage-inspired silhouettes with preppy accents to create this collection, which Zooey describes as "modical" -- a mix of mod and nautical influences. Zooey and I are both so excited by the outcome. The collection is very '60s inspired, which you can see it in the fun patterns and the short hems. The aesthetic is fun, classic and effortless -- in that sense, it reflects attributes that all my style icons have embodied over the years. After all, trends come and go, but great style is forever.

" In reply, Australia chased down the target with ease, reaching home with seven wickets…
Chasing a paltry victory target of 128, Australians lost as many as six wickets but were always in control as they knocked off the required runs with more than a day to spare.
A listless India capitulated to a four-wicket defeat in the second Test against Australia, as an inept batting display by the top-order allowed the home side to chase a paltry total of 128.
Resuming at the overnight score of 71 for one, the visitors lost four wickets in quick succession with an addition of only 16 runs and were eventually bowled out for 224 in 64.3 overs.
Australia lost as many as six wickets but were always in control as they knocked off the required runs with more than a day to spare. Nothing seemed to go right for the visitors with Shikhar Dhawan (81) not coming out to bat.
Dhawan, apparently suffered an injury to his right wrist during the morning practice session which led to Virat Kohli (1) coming out with Cheteshwar Pujara (43). Kohli’s early departure virtually triggered off the collapse as Mitchell Johnson ripped through the top-order and finished with figures of four for 61, while Josh Hazlewood (2/74), Mitchell Starc (2/27) and Nathan Lyon (2/33) also chipped in.
Also Read: Australia poised for victory after magic Mitchell Johnson strikes
Had it not been for a 60-run eighth wicket partnership between Dhawan and Umesh Yadav (30), India wouldn’t have been able to set a three-figure target. Australia’s run-chase was marked by two early jolts with David Warner (6) and Shane Watson (0) and though they continued to lose wickets, the target was never beyond reach.
Mitchell Marsh’s cover drive brought victory triggering scenes of celebrations in the Australian camp. The defeat also brought to fore India’s dismal record outside the sub-continent with their 15th defeat in the last three and half years.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s poor track record as Test captain in overseas conditions continued as he lost his 14th Test match outside the sub-continent. Dhoni has now lost seven Tests in England, four in Australia, one in New Zealand, one in South Africa since 2011.
The two teams will now travel to Melbourne for the ‘Boxing Day’ Test with Australia needing a win or atleast a draw to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

If You Want To Try Somewhere Different, How About American-Owned But Spanish-Influenced Puerto Rico? Santa In The Sunshine
Travel - Caribbean & Bahamas guide: Whether you want to escape with a partner or a family And, if you want to try somewhere different, how about American-owned but Spanish-influenced Puerto Rico?
By Fred Mawer
October 26, 2002
Travel - Caribbean & Bahamas guide Whether you want to escape with a partner or a family, to laze on the beach or hike to a volcano, there's an island to suit you. Over the next five pages, Fred Mawer tells you how to find it.
In years gone by, if you left booking a Caribbean winter break until as late as the end of October, you would have been hard pushed to find a room in a quality hotel or an empty villa. Not this year.
American tourists, normally the biggest spenders in the region, are fewer, so there is space even at the best properties. Meanwhile, British sun-seekers are booking much later than they used to. This means that, while the Christmas and February half-term holidays are proving as popular as ever, some tour operators are using words such as "frightening" to describe the vacancies left for the peak December-April season.
"Added-value" deals - seven nights for the price of six, 10 nights for seven, plus perhaps the promise of free dinners, rounds of golf, car hire, babysitting - are becoming more widespread with upmarket packages. As the managing director of a villa specialist puts it, "the state of the stock market means that we've had to make our prices competitive".
Don't, however, be too easily seduced. Most visitors apply for the off-peak summer months, when there are always special offers being promoted. You'll have to search much harder for peak-season deals, though Elegant Resorts, for example, promises that it has a fair number for holidays in January and March.
Cost aside, the greatest drawback of a Caribbean holiday has always been the long journey. Yet flying to many islands is getting more straightforward. This summer saw the introduction of new scheduled services by Air Jamaica from Manchester to Jamaica and by BWIA to Barbados, then Trinidad. From Monday, British Airways' service from Gatwick to Antigua, with its 365 beaches, becomes a daily one. Other islands a short hop away, such as St Kitts and Nevis and Anguilla, are expected to benefit from a boost in visitors too.
Virgin Atlantic has also announced new Caribbean flights next year, including a weekly service beginning in May between Gatwick and Tobago/Grenada. Its tour operating arm, Virgin Holidays, has just brought out a brochure dedicated to the islands, which are among the most seductive in the region. Though BA no longer flies to Havana, Air Jamaica has started a non-stop weekly service.
As for other developments: at least five luxury hotels will have opened new spas before the year is out. And, if you want to try somewhere different, how about American-owned but Spanish-influenced Puerto Rico? To date it has been largely overlooked by the British market, but two companies, Harlequin and Caribtours, are trying out some intriguing "boutique" hotels there next year.
Prices throughout the report are for a week in January/May 2003. Unless stated otherwise, they are per person on a room-only basis in the cheapest double, and include flights. Bear in mind that some packages may be discounted.
The Water Club, Puerto Rico, on the outskirts of San Juan opposite the beaches of Isla Verde, is a hip new beachside hangout full of beautiful young things. The theme is aquatic: waterfalls in lifts, the sound of breaking waves in corridors, a glam bar called Liquid and a rooftop terrace called Wet. "When the sun goes down, the hotel wakes up," says the manager.
Cost £1,031/ £958 (Harlequin).
Harlequin (01708 850300, www.harlequin-holidays.co.uk), Hayes & Jarvis (0870 898 9890, www.
The Caribbean Tourism Organisation (020 7222 4335, www.caribbean.co.uk): there are links from this website to individual islands' tourist board websites.
The best guidebooks for overviews are Caribbean Islands Handbook (Footprint, £15.99), the 2003 edition of which has just been published; and the Cadogan Guide to the Caribbean and the Bahamas ( £14.99) - its latest edition was published in August 2001.
Santa In The Sunshine, Giving Yourself A Holiday Trip
By MARTHA STEVENSON OLSON
October 27, 2002
BECAUSE parents need to schedule family holidays around school vacations, and because many jobs provide time off around the Christmas-New Year's holiday, much winter travel necessarily takes place between Dec. 20 and Jan. 5. Historically, prices go up, desirable resorts fill well in advance, and crowds and bad weather can frustrate holiday cheer. On the up side are special activities, often geared to families, around this time.
Following is a sampling of special events, packages and tours available at popular destinations this year.
Santa in the Sunshine
In Puerto Rico, the holiday is celebrated from early December through Three Kings Day, Jan. 6, with bands of roving musicians and many religious ceremonies. Old San Juan, with its many balconies decorated with Christmas lights, is a good place to join in the holiday spirit. At El Convento, a 350-year-old former Carmelite convent, a standard double is $325 a night. A Romantic Memories of Old San Juan package, of three nights minimum, is $363 a room each night, from Dec. 1 to April 30. For more information, visit www.elconvento.com or call (800) 468-2779.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Financial reports filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission show that two grandsons of Walmart Stores founder Sam Walton have donated a total of $220,000 to a group that supports alcohol sales in Benton County.
The Benton County Daily Record reports that brothers Tom and Stuart Walton each donated $80,000 last month to the group Keep Dollars in Benton County. That's in addition to the $60,000 in seed money that the men gave the group in February.
Benton County is a dry county that allows alcohol sales in licensed private clubs. Keep Dollars in Benton County is gathering signatures for an initiative that would legalize retail sales of alcohol.
Financial reports also show that Iowa-based convenience store chain Casey's General Stores gave $10,000 to the group in March.

As part of UK/ID Festival 2017, UK songwriter Dan Croll was invited to Indonesia to collaborate with Indonesian musician Thearosa. We caught up with them to find out more about their collaboration.
How did you find collaborating with Theorosa?
It’s been really fun. We both have different ways of working, in a good way. She’s more acoustic; she was doing demos just her and her acoustic guitar. Whereas I turned up to the studio with some keyboards and synths, so it made it really interesting. We’ve combined both of those elements and come out with a couple of tracks that have been really fun to work on.
We’ve shared new influences, new music, new ways of writing, and learned a lot about each other culturally. So I’ll definitely take quite a bit away from this trip.
Why do you think it’s important to work with people from different cultures?
The only way I can write music is by going to new places and meeting new people. I can’t imagine what that would be like without, I’d have nothing to write about, I’d never leave England and there’s only so much you can write about England! I just wouldn’t have the creativity if I stayed there all the time.
The only way I can write music is by going to new places and meeting new people.
Coming over to Indonesia, and all kinds of other places, you get to hear new music. It has so much influence on your music consciously and unconsciously. It’s super important.
How friendly people are, its quite crazy. You imagine in a big, populated city that’s so busy that people wouldn’t really have time to stop and chat and give you time, but actually it’s been the opposite. There are so many people, but all of them are lovely and give you a lot of time, a lot of help. e'e been so welcomed here.
Three words to sum up your experience?
Humid, speedy, tasty.

Where is Terra ff6 World of Ruin?
You will find Terra in Mobliz, which is at the very tail end of the Serpent Trench. The Serpent Trench was underwater in the World of Balance, but now it is a very conspicuous serpent shaped continent in the World of Ruin.
How do I get to Mobliz?
To go to Mobliz, you can either walk northeast to go there, or go into the small forest northwest of Tzen to get a Chocobo. Mobliz is on the far right side of the narrow piece of land in the northeast of the current continent.
What is World of Ruin ff6?
The World of Ruin, also called WoR or Post-C (Bonus section), is the second of two worlds in Final Fantasy VI. The World of Ruin is characterized by barren wastelands, deserts, burned forests, and polluted water. It consists of a series of small islands that dot the world, and those islands are where most people live.
How do you get to Locke World of Ruin?
To find Locke, you’ll need to find the Phoenix Cave. Go to the peninsula on the northern end of the continent containing Tzen, Albrook, and Kefka’s Tower. There should be a bunch of mountains here; land at the green spot in the middle of them.
Where is Mobliz?
Mobliz is a village in Final Fantasy VI located north of the Veldt in the World of Balance and south of the Veldt in the World of Ruin.
How does the Veldt work ff6?
Once an enemy formation is encountered (it does not have to be defeated), it will show up on the Veldt. The Veldt is thus useful for fighting enemies found in places the player cannot revisit, especially in the World of Ruin when most of the monsters from the World of Balance vanish.
What is the world of ff6 called?
The World of Balance
The World of Balance, also called WoB and Pre-C (Bonus section), is the title given to the unnamed world of Final Fantasy VI for the first half of the game. The name derives from the balance of power between the Warring Triad that upholds the world.
How do I get through Phoenix Cave ff6?
Move Party B downstairs; move them down to find a staircase up to a switch that creates a bridge to a chest with a Wing Edge. Back at the stairs down to the lava room, move right and jump over the rocks back and forth, the chest behind the spikes is empty. Step on the switch to move the rock and allow Party A to pass.

This age-old question has intrigued many tea enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike. This is because of a few things. First and foremost, sugar is commonly perceived as a Western influence on tea. It’s akin to putting ketchup on a dish—it simply doesn't go. This choice not only retains the authenticity of the tea but also allows for a deeper appreciation of it’s subtle nuances.
Can You Put Sugar in Chinese Tea?
Chinese tea is deeply ingrained in Chinas history and culture, with various rituals and customs associated with it’s consumption. One of these customs includes the notion that Chinese tea is already sweet enough on it’s own, without the need for added sugar. Therefore, the practice of putting sugar in Chinese tea isn’t a common one.
In fact, the Chinese have a particular perception of what constitutes authentic tea. According to experts, adding sweeteners or milk to tea isn’t considered proper tea-drinking in Chinese culture. It’s believed that such additions can mask the true flavor and aroma of the tea, diminishing the experience of savoring it’s natural characteristics.
Moreover, the idea of mixing different types of tea together is also not favored in Chinese tea culture. Each type of tea, be it green, white, oolong, or black, has it’s unique flavor profile and health benefits. Mixing them together would blur these distinctions and compromise the appreciation of each teas distinct qualities.
Instead, the Chinese embrace the idea of savoring tea in it’s purest form. They appreciate the subtle notes and nuances that each tea variety offers, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the tea-drinking experience.
So, if you want to truly experience the beauty of Chinese tea, you might want to leave the sugar aside and embrace the subtleties of it’s authentic taste.
Chinese sweet tea, also known as Tian-cha, has been enjoyed for centuries in China as a natural and healthy alternative to traditional sweeteners. Derived from the leaves of the Chinese blackberry, this tea contains rubusoside, a natural sweetener that surpasses cane sugar in sweetness. With it’s unique flavor profile and health benefits, Tian-cha has become a popular choice for those seeking a delicious and guilt-free way to sweeten their tea.
What Do the Chinese Use to Sweeten Tea?
Chinese sweet tea, also known as Tian-cha, is a traditional Chinese herbal tea that doesn’t require additional sweeteners such as sugar. The leaves used to make this tea come from the Chinese blackberry plant, scientifically known as Rubus suavissimus. These leaves naturally contain a sweetener called rubusoside, which is about 200 times sweeter than cane sugar.
Because of the inherent sweetness of rubusoside, most Chinese people don’t feel the need to add sugar or any other sweeteners to their tea. It’s believed that consuming tea in it’s pure form allows one to fully appreciate it’s natural flavors and health benefits. This is one of the reasons why Chinese tea culture emphasizes the importance of drinking tea without any additives.
Chinese tea culture is rich with traditions and rituals that bring an artful and mindful approach to tea drinking. One such practice is the method of sipping tea in three distinct sips, each serving a purpose in appreciating the flavors and qualities of the tea. This intentional way of drinking tea reflects the Chinese belief in savoring the present moment and finding harmony in simplicity. Let’s delve deeper into the Chinese way of enjoying tea and discover the magic it holds.
What Is the Chinese Way of Drinking Tea?
The Chinese way of drinking tea is steeped in centuries-old traditions and cultural significance. One important aspect is the manner in which the tea is consumed.
In China, it’s customary to drink your Chinese tea in three distinct sips. Each sip has it’s own significance and purpose. The first sip is meant to be small and subtle. It’s used to taste the tea and gauge it’s flavor. This sip allows you to appreciate the initial notes and aromas of the tea.
The second sip, however, is the most important one. It’s the largest sip and considered the main sip.
Lastly, the third sip is meant to be enjoyed for it’s aftertaste and to empty the cup. It’s also a way to clean out any remaining tea leaves or sediment in the cup.
Now, while I’ve discussed the traditional way of drinking Chinese tea, it’s important to note that the addition of sugar is generally not a common practice in China. Chinese tea is typically enjoyed in it’s natural state, without any added sweeteners. The focus is placed on the natural flavors and nuances of the tea itself. However, it’s always a matter of personal preference, and some individuals may choose to add sugar to their tea according to their liking.
If you’re looking for healthier alternatives to sweeten your tea, there are several options that can satisfy your taste buds without the negative health effects.
Is It Good to Drink Tea With Sugar?
When it comes to drinking tea, the question of whether to add sugar often arises. While some people enjoy the added sweetness, others may be more health-conscious and opt to skip the sugar altogether. The truth is, drinking tea with sugar can have negative effects on ones health.
Additionally, sugar consumption has been linked to various health conditions, including high blood pressure and high blood sugar. High intake of added sugars, such as those found in sugary drinks, has been associated with an increased risk of developing these conditions.
Instead, exploring other natural sweeteners, such as honey or stevia, can provide a healthier alternative to traditional white sugar. Ultimately, it may be best to take steps towards cutting down on sugar in tea to improve overall health and well-being.
The preference for unsweetened tea is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture, where the delicate flavors and natural bitterness of the tea are cherished. This stark difference in taste preferences sets Japan apart from other nations where sweetness is often added to enhance the tea experience. Whether sipping on traditional green tea or indulging in bottled varieties, the Japanese approach remains steadfast: more tea, less sugar.
Do Japanese People Put Sugar in Tea?
Unlike Western countries where it’s common to add sugar to tea, Japanese culture has a different approach. In Japan, it’s considered customary to drink tea without any sugar or sweeteners. Tea is highly valued for it’s natural flavors and health benefits, and the taste is appreciated in it’s pure and unsweetened form. This cultural preference for unsweetened tea extends to both traditional tea ceremonies and everyday consumption.
One of the most popular types of tea in Japan is green tea, which is known for it’s fresh, grassy taste and numerous health benefits. Green tea is typically brewed without sugar, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. This practice not only enhances the overall taste experience but also allows the subtle nuances of the tea to be fully appreciated.
In contrast to the Western preference for sweetness in drinks, the Japanese tea-drinking experience centers around the tranquil moment of sipping a warm cup of tea in it’s unadulterated form.
Whether it’s during a formal tea ceremony or a casual everyday moment, the Japanese approach to tea resonates with simplicity, purity, and an appreciation for the essence of the beverage itself.
Tea Drinking Customs in Other Cultures: This Article Could Broaden It’s Focus to Include a Comparison of Tea Drinking Customs in Other Cultures, Such as Chinese Tea Culture and British Afternoon Tea. By Highlighting the Differences and Similarities in Sugar Usage, Readers Can Gain a Global Perspective on Tea Traditions.
- Chinese tea culture: The Chinese have a long history of tea drinking, with various customs and rituals associated with it. Tea is often served in small cups, and it’s common to pour tea for others as a sign of respect.
- British afternoon tea: In the UK, afternoon tea is a popular tradition where tea is served with scones, sandwiches, and pastries. Milk and sugar are commonly added to the tea, and it’s often enjoyed in a leisurely manner.
- Sugar usage: While both Chinese and British tea cultures involve the use of sugar, there are differences in how it’s used. In Chinese tea culture, sugar is rarely added directly to the tea, but instead, it may be served alongside tea snacks. In contrast, British tea culture often involves adding sugar directly to the tea.
- Global perspective: By comparing tea drinking customs in different cultures, we can gain a better understanding of the diversity and richness of tea traditions around the world. Exploring these differences and similarities can broaden our appreciation for tea and it’s role in different societies.
Chinese culture has a rich history of incorporating tea into various aspects of daily life, including mealtime rituals. While tea can be enjoyed at any time, many Chinese people choose to drink it after a meal, and this practice is deeply rooted in tradition and health benefits. By understanding the reasons behind this custom, we can gain insight into the significance of tea in Chinese culture and it’s impact on overall well-being.
Why Do Chinese Drink Tea After a Meal?
Chinese culture has a deep-rooted tradition of drinking tea, and it’s common to see people enjoying a hot cup of tea after a meal. The main reason behind this practice is the health benefits associated with tea consumption. Chinese people believe that drinking tea aids digestion and enhances metabolic activity. After a heavy meal, a cup of tea can help settle the stomach, relieve bloating, and lighten the feeling of fullness.
In addition to it’s health benefits, drinking tea after a meal is also believed to keep your skin timeless. Tea, especially green tea, contains polyphenols that have been proven to have anti-aging effects. Chinese people believe that by including tea in their daily routine, they can slow down the aging process and maintain youthful-looking skin.
It’s seen as a way to continue ancient customs and rituals that have been practiced for centuries. Taking the time to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea after a meal is a way for Chinese people to connect with their heritage and honor their ancestors.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that the Chinese don’t typically drink tea with sugar. In traditional Chinese tea culture, the focus is on the natural flavors and aromas of the tea leaves, and the addition of sugar is considered unnecessary and even detrimental to the authentic taste of the tea. Chinese people appreciate the subtle and delicate flavors of tea and prefer it to be consumed in it’s purest form.
It promotes good health, aids digestion, removes toxins from the body, keeps the skin youthful, and symbolizes the continuation of cultural traditions. So, next time you see someone enjoying a cup of tea after a meal, remember that it isn’t just a beverage but a reflection of a rich and ancient cultural heritage.

Chinese people have a long history of drinking tea, and it’s an important part of their culture. There are various types of Chinese tea, each with it’s own unique flavor and health benefits.
Green tea, such as Longjing tea, is known for it’s high levels of antioxidants, which can help improve overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It’s also believed to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss.
Oolong tea, like Tie Guan Yin, has a pleasant floral aroma and a slightly fruity taste. It’s known for it’s digestive benefits, helping to alleviate bloating and improve digestion. Oolong tea is also believed to support healthy skin and hair.
Pu-erh tea is a fermented tea known for it’s earthy flavor. It’s often consumed to aid digestion, reduce cholesterol levels, and promote weight loss. Pu-erh tea is also believed to have detoxifying properties.
Jasmine tea, which is made by infusing green tea leaves with jasmine flowers, has a delicate floral aroma and a sweet taste. It’s often enjoyed for it’s calming properties and is believed to reduce stress and anxiety.
While it’s common to drink tea without sugar in China, some may add a small amount of sugar or honey to enhance the taste. However, purists may argue that adding sugar alters the natural flavors of the tea, and it’s generally recommended to enjoy Chinese tea without any added sugar for maximum health benefits.
They believe that the true essence of tea lies in it’s purity and the careful cultivation and preparation of the leaves. Adding sugar would mask these flavors and rob the tea of it’s authenticity. Instead, they enjoy the simplicity and elegance of tea in it’s unadulterated form.

Ahead of their live debut on February 28th at ONCE Ballroom in Somerville, Boston’s Stormstress has unveiled their debut single that’s sure to appease fans of their former outfit Flight of Fire as well as Rawk fans hungry for some fresh, original material with some kick.
While pretty goddamn incomparable to what’s out there today, “Paint The Mask” could be summed up best to the uninitiated as what it would sound like if The Runaways and The Misfits took their very best bits and formed a supergroup. Drummer Maddie May Scott lays down solid grooves that are thunderous yet eloquent while Tanya Venom and Tia Mayhem unleash a guitar and bass assault that’s got all the hefty riffing and fiery solos that are sorely missing from today’s Rawk scene.
Besides the bare bones of it all, Stormstress succeeds with “Paint The Mask” because of all the subtleties within that make the track really stand out. There’s synths and strings underneath it all that give the song an epic sheen and overall unearthly quality while at the forefront the vocals are both anthemic and haunting, especially with the layered choruses and melodies that head towards the conclusion.
“Paint The Mask” is available on all streaming platforms now but to save you some time, just head here or here to check it out now. Stormstress make their live debut at ONCE in Somerville tomorrow night with LUSUS, Firstbourne, and X’ella. All the deets for that shindig can be found here and for the latest on Stormstress, follow them on the socials by clicking here, here, and here.

It’s time once again for Harvest Monday, where we celebrate all things harvest related. We harvested a few “firsts” last week, including the first blueberries and blackberries. My wife is in charge of blueberry picking, while I harvest the blackberries. We have been enjoying eating these fresh, and will freeze any extras for use later. It’s always a treat for me when the berries begin to ripen and we have fresh ones.
Another first was a harvest of eggplant from the container grown plants. Fairy Tale and Gretel are two that do very well for me in containers, and the plants are usually quite productive grown that way. I am also growing the 2022 AAS Winner Icicle in containers, and they will be ready soon. We love these smaller fruited eggplants when roasted in the oven, or grilled.
Another first last week was cucumbers, from plants I am growing in the greenhouse. Nokya and Mini Munch are two slicing types with tender skins, while Excelsior is a pickling type. We often make quick refrigerator pickles with the homegrown cukes, and they are a light side dish for many a meal. We had some for lunch one day, which went well with our panini sandwich on my homemade sourdough bread.
I continue to get side shoots from the spring planted broccoli. I also got the first big head of the Jacaranda variety. It’s my first time growing it out in the vegetable garden, and so far I am impressed. This variety is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, and the head was nicely formed, with a great purplish green color. I used some of the broccoli harvests to make a Broccoli Salad with Walnuts, one of my favorite ways to eat raw broccoli. More went into a pasta dish I made for our dinner one night. We enjoy the fresh broccoli when we have it in the garden, and rarely buy it from the grocery.
I cut two heads of cabbage last week, a big one of Green Presto that weight four pounds and a smaller one of Conehead that weighed over two pounds. I used the Green Presto to make a couple of jars of sauerkraut, while I used some of the Conehead to make a slaw. Considering I had aphid issues with my brassica seedlings this year, I am quite happy to see most of them doing well finally!
Another brassica that’s doing well is kohlrabi. I have harvested over 10 pounds of it already, and I pulled two of the larger Kossak last week. I used these big ones to start a couple of jars of kohlrabi kraut. I have several more of these sizing up in the garden, so it looks to be a good kohlrabi harvest for the spring season. It is one of my favorite vegetables, and we eat it raw, cooked and fermented. The summer squash continues to roll in too, you can see it in the below photo with the Kossak kohlrabi.
All the harvesting is keeping me busy for sure! And it’s hard to believe, but it’s also time to start the fall brassica seeds. I’m actually running a few days behind last year, but I sowed seeds for collard greens, cabbage, mizuna and kale yesterday. I hope to sow broccoli and other brassicas in the next few days.
Harvest Monday is a day to show off your harvests, how you are saving your harvest, or how you are using your harvest. If you have a harvest you want to share, add your name and blog link to Mr Linky below. And please take a minute and check out what everyone is harvesting!

Govt directive to relocate gas stations
Most gas stations in Kathmandu Valley are located in densely populated areas. A school building might stand right next to or just a few meters from a petrol station. We see shops and residential houses lying adjacent to petrol pumps. This is not how it ought to be legally and practically but this is how it has been for many years. For example, according to the directives of Nepal Oil Corporation formulated in 2016, a petrol station in hill and mountain areas should have at least five ropanis of land. There should be a concrete compound wall of three to five feet or cemented pillars with barbed wire on three sides. Also there must be a distance of at least 10 kilometers between two petrol pumps so as to prevent fire spreading between them. Likewise, the underground containers for petroleum products should be away from human settlements and there should also be a three to five feet wall around the petrol station. As we can see for ourselves, many stations have not followed these requirements and yet they operate with abandon.
In this context, the government has directed 18 gasoline stations that are operating at roadsides in Kathmandu Valley to relocate to safer spots. Cabinet meeting on December 10 took the decision to this effect following the detailed study by Metropolitan Police Traffic Division, Ramshahpath, Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City and the Department of Roads. Baba Petrol Pump, Shyama Oil and Trishul Petrol Pump at Kalanki, Kota Dhuku Petrol Pump at Balaju, Kanak Trade Concern at Kalimati, Jayanti Petrol Pump and Mayaram Bholaram Petrol Pump at Thapathali and Sita Petrol Pump, Maharajgunj among others have been asked to relocate to safer places. The cabinet meeting has entrusted Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) to enforce the directive.
But given the insubordination displayed by the petrol station owners in the past, one should worry if they will comply by the government’s decision. As things stand, several such decisions have remained limited to paper. For example, NOC had directed the pumps to either upgrade their infrastructure or face closure some two years back. But it was unable to enforce its own regulations because of pressure from petroleum dealers. Again in April, 2019, the task force of Kathmandu Metropolitan City had recommended immediate removal of 15 refilling stations located at eight different places inside the Valley to ease vehicular movement and improve traffic management. The task force had identified some 40 petrol pumps in the Valley that needed to be relocated. But the recommendation went unheeded.
It must not be so this time around. Ministry of Home Affairs needs to intervene if the petrol stations in questions do not agree to relocate to safer areas. Petrol station owners, on their part, need to cooperate with the government to implement this decision. There have been incidents of fire outbreak in petrol stations in the past. In such cases, not only the petrol stations but also the houses and infrastructure lying around them suffer destruction. Thus there should be no compromise on safety. The government should have taken such decision long back. Now that it has, the government must enforce it strictly and should not hesitate to take action against those who disobey.

Book II Chapter 4: The conspiracy to restore the Tarquins(cont.)[509 BC]
Return to index
The project was at first entrusted to the brothers Vitellii Aquilii. The sister of the Vitellii was married to the consul Brutus, and there were grown-up children from this marriage -- Titus and Tiberius. Their uncles took them into the conspiracy, there were others besides, whose names have been lost. |
In the meantime the opinion that the property ought to be restored was adopted by the majority of the senate, and this enabled the envoys to prolong their stay, as the consuls required time to provide vehicles for conveying the goods. They employed their time in consultations with the conspirators, and they insisted on getting a letter, which they were to give to the Tarquins, for without such a guarantee, they argued, how could they be sure that their envoys had not brought back empty promises in a matter of such vast importance? A letter was accordingly given as a pledge of good faith, and this it was that led to the discovery of the plot. The day previous to the departure of the envoys they happened to be dining at the house of the Vitellii. After all who were not in the secret had left, the conspirators discussed many details respecting their projected treason, which were overheard by one [Note 1] of the slaves, who had previously suspected that something was afoot, but was waiting for the moment when the letter should be given, as its seizure would be a complete proof of the plot. When he found that it had been given, he disclosed the affair to the consuls. They at once proceeded to arrest the envoys and the conspirators, and crushed the whole plot without exciting any alarm. Their first care was to secure the letter before it was destroyed. The traitors were forthwith thrown into prison; there was some hesitation in dealing with the envoys, and although they had evidently been guilty of a hostile act, the rights of international law were accorded them.
