Our syrupy-sweet sap, for which we’re famous for around the world, is delicious for more than just pouring on pancakes. It’s a natural sweetener in both sweet and savoury recipes. Use it on peameal bacon for a truly Canadian delight!
Maple syrup in baked goods helps to keep them moist and prevents them from staling too quickly, similar to honey. In savoury sauces like this ultimate barbecue sauce for ribs, it adds depth and compliments the spices. Try out different grades – a system that distinguishes variations in taste and colour – to find one you like to work with.
We can’t imagine a more fitting ingredient to make the star of your Canada Day celebrations. Get started on your long-weekend menu now with any of these tested-till-perfect maple syrup recipes:
Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Maple Pecan Topping

Most people looking to start a business are working a job of some kind – or in desperate need of a job – to be able to cover their living expenses while they build their business part-time.
Trucking can help you do that.
If you need money NOW and you need benefits NOW – even in an economy that has been devasted in large part lately – trucking is still in need of tens of thousands of truck drivers.
That means an opportunity fr you – for you want it and if you are willing to work for it.
However, there are some requirements if you want the rewards too.
One of the biggest is that you will have to be willing to work hard and you will put in many hours into trucking each and every day. You will also more likely than not be gone on overnight tips o a routine basis – sometimes gone for a week or more at a time.
Yes, there are ways around that – and there are even jobs you can get that will get you home daily – or at least every other day. But they involve tight maneuvering and heavy physical work loading and unloading freight by hand in addition to the hours on the road driving between stops.
If you can handle it though – the money can be good. How good? How about $60 to $80 thousand per year to start good?
Even a mediocre driver can make $52,000 their first year – but if you are highly motivated (and NOT lazy!) you can do far better than that and make up to (and possibly even more) than $80k your very first year in trucking.
But… and This is a Big BUTT…
Like I said earlier you have to be willing to work very hard and work smart too if you want that kind of money.
Otherwise, you will be one of the tens of thousands who make far less than that.
Learn about trucking. Learn about trucking business. Then make an informed business decision that is right for you.

U.S. Arms Transfers: Government Data
|FAS Resources||Other Databases||Reports
American arms manufacturers have two major channels through which they can sell major weaponry to foreign countries: foreign military sales ("FMS"), in which a government-to-government agreement is negotiated by the Pentagon; and direct commercial sales ("DCS"), in which industry negotiates directly with the purchasing country and must apply for a license from the State Department.
The United States government also transfers arms to other countries by giving away weapons from U.S. military stocks for free or at greatly reduced prices, classified as excess defense articles (EDA) or emergency "drawdowns." The United States also provides military training to many foreign countries. These transfers are also managed by the Defense Department. For more information about types of U.S. arms transfers, read the "Ways and Means" chapter of The Arms Trade Revealed.

I don't know what type carb is on this one, but most have a diaphram. If the diaphram is weak it will cause this. You can purchase a new diaphram at a Lawnmower service center. It's not that hard to install.

Float stuck in open position. When the gas evaporated in it there was a gunk left behind and then It was down and either froze up or there is trash keeping the needle valve from sealing up all the way.
So when you start it gas keeps pouring into the motor. It is suposed to shut off once it gets enough to run on.
Be real careful take the carb off and remove the bowl. And then the float. Take a q-tip and clean the needle valve port ou real good. And clean the rubber tip gently. Then put back together.
When it is upside down the float should be parallel with the carb. That would be the shut off point. You may have to adjust it.
That should do it. When you hook the gas line back up loosen the bowl and let gas in carb til it starts to run out. Then mow.

Four new private equity and venture capital funds worth over EUR 100 million, with the EU as major investor, have appeared on the Romanian market in the last year, targeting the growing local entrepreneurial ecosystem. EU money could become a critical building block for the future of entrepreneurship, as the government recently rolled out a new taxation package for large companies that might inhibit future investments and hurt the economy, warn commentators. By Ovidiu Posirca The focus of EU funds on Romanian entrepreneurship comes just as the government decided to increase the tax burden for banks, utility firms and telecom players. Entrepreneurs and small businesses may face a double whammy as financial groups could move to tighten lending restrictions and restrict access to funding. Meanwhile, companies in the financial, energy and telecom industries have been backing acceleration programs for start-ups. Some banks have even bought stakes in Romanian startups, for instance in the fintech sector. It’s not clear if these companies will continue to fund initiatives designed to promote entrepreneurship in Romania under the new fiscal conditions. “My supposition is that the taxation of banks’ assets and the economic turbulence in Romania will clearly impact established strategies.

How Much Caffeine Is In 23 oz Arizona Green Tea?
Arizona Green Tea is a popular drink among tea drinkers, but how much caffeine does it contain?
A 23 ounce bottle of Arizona Green Tea contains 75 milligrams of caffeine. This is significantly lower than the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, which usually contains 95-200 milligrams per serving. Even a small cup of tea can contain upwards of 40 milligrams of caffeine.
Below is a comparison of the amount of caffeine in some of Arizona Green tea’s drinks:
- 23 oz. bottle: 75 milligrams
- 16 oz. can: 50 milligrams
- 12 oz. bottle: 37 milligrams
The caffeine content of Arizona Green Tea is comparatively low for a caffeinated drink. However, it is important to keep in mind that the effects of caffeine can vary from person to person and any amount of caffeine can be too much for those with caffeine sensitivity.
For those who enjoy a cup of tea, the amount of caffeine in 23 oz of Arizona Green Tea will likely not be too overwhelming. Those with caffeine sensitivity should be mindful of the caffeine content, however, and make sure to enjoy Arizona Green Tea in moderation.

Progress continues on our world-first project to rewild Howletts’ cherished herd of 13 elephants from the UK to Kenya. Working closely with the Kenya Wildlife Service, comprehensive ecological assessments continue to be conducted at the chosen site of Mwaluganje elephant sanctuary in Kwale County. Here in the UK, the travel habituation process for the animals is
advancing positively, with the much-loved herd responding well to changes in their routine and happily entering and exiting their individually-designed transport crates.
The Howletts Wild Animal Park herd
Once the experienced team of conservationists, animal carers, behaviourists and veterinarians are confident with the site preparation and the herd’s development, the translocation will take place.
The Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation (CAWF) recently published a report, endorsed by 25 leading specialists, on the unique needs of elephants. The report findings reveal that zoos simply cannot meet the complex needs of these wonderful, intelligent animals and that keeping them in captivity should be phased out due to welfare concerns. The CAWF report also contains two key recommendations: to end the import and breeding of elephants and to repatriate all remaining elephants in captivity.
African elephants displaying natural behaviours at Howletts Wild Animal Park
The Aspinall Foundation welcomes this report and its findings, which correlate with the aims of our monumental project, which we hope will catalyse further commitments to return animals back to the wild, wherever possible. With DEFRA also reviewing the future of elephant-keeping in the UK, we remain steadfast in our mission to change the lives of these elephants and to complete an important chapter in conservation history.

Fredricks' catch highlights Rage win
The Rock County Rage scored six touchdowns, but it was a two-point conversion that stole the show in a 42-8 Iron Athletes Football League regular-season finale victory Saturday night over the Rockford Raptors.
A.J. Fredricks jumped and somehow grabbed a Dan Roberts pass to complete a two-point conversion in the second quarter.
“It was an O.J. Beckham-type of grab,” said Rage president A.J. Albrecht. “It brought the house down. Even the Raptors went nuts.”
Besides catching the two-point conversion pass, Fredricks kicked two extra points and threw a 16-yard TD pass to Ryan Oleson.
Roberts threw touchdown passes to Austin Ryan, Oleson and Jermar Ayers. Brennon McElrath also ran a yard for another score.
Roberts completed 10 of 14 passes for 128 yards. McElrath rushed 15 times for 96 yards, and Oleson caught three passes for 46 yards and two TDs.
Jesse Bernhardt forced and recovered a fumble and Nick Hammon had two sacks and eight tackles to lead the defense.
The Rage concluded the regular season with a 9-1 record. Rock County will host a playoff game Saturday, Aug. 26 against an opponent to be determined.
RAGE 42, ROCKFORD RAPTORS 8
Raptors 0 2 0 6—8

|Former Patriots defensive end Ty Warren missed all of last season with a hip injury. (File/Ed Andrieski/Associated Press)|
Warren tears triceps
Broncos big free agent signee out indefinitely
Broncos run-stuffer Ty Warren has a torn triceps that will sideline him indefinitely.
The Broncos made the former Patriots interior lineman the centerpiece of their free agent class by signing him to a two-year, $8 million deal that included a $2.5 million bonus and $1.5 million salary for 2011.
They also re-signed free agent defensive tackle, Marcus Thomas, at $1 million for one year.
Both were injured within five minutes of each other when they lined up with the first-team defense during a 9-on-7 drill Monday.
Thomas (strained pectoral) and Warren won’t be back on the field anytime soon.
Warren, 30, missed all of last season with a hip injury. Surgery might end his season and maybe even his career, so both he and the Broncos would rather put off an operation in hopes he can heal enough to play.
Thomas is expected to be out until the regular season.
In other news, the Broncos released running back LenDale White. The former Southern Cal star suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon in the final preseason game last year and missed the entire season. He ran for 10 yards on four carries in the Broncos’ 2011 preseason opener but hadn’t been on the practice field enough to compete for a roster spot.
Jets’ Turner has broken leg The Jets are down a key backup and in serious need of depth on their offensive line.
Robert Turner has a broken right leg and will have surgery this week, a person with knowledge of the injury said yesterday. Turner’s absence will be determined after the procedure.
Turner was hurt in New York’s 20-16 loss at Houston in the team’s preseason opener Monday night. He started at center for the injured Nick Mangold and was hurt in the first quarter when Houston’s J.J. Watt rolled into his right leg from behind. Turner was carted off the field.
Although he’s not a starter, Turner is a major contributor to a unit that has been ranked among the league’s best for the last few seasons. He is the Jets’ primary backup on the offensive line because of his ability to play multiple positions, including center, tackle, blocking tight end, and he has even lined up on defense in some goal-line situations.
The Jets re-signed Turner, a restricted free agent, to a one-year deal after the lockout ended.
Mangold suffered a stinger in practice last week and didn’t make the trip with the team to Houston. New York also played without starting right guard Brandon Moore, who was just moved to the active roster from the physically-unable-to-perform list following offseason hip surgery.
Wayne Hunter was another of the Jets’ key backups in past seasons, but he has assumed the starting job at right tackle after Damien Woody retired.
Crowder plans return in 2012 One week after retiring, Channing Crowder is talking about a comeback. The former Dolphins linebacker said he still plans to sit out this season because his wife is about to have a baby, but he’ll likely return to the NFL in 2012 or 2013. Crowder made his comments on a Miami radio station, where he has been a talk-show host. A week ago, Crowder decided to call it a career after being cut by the Dolphins. His announcement was greeted with skepticism because he’s only 27 and has a reputation for kidding around . . . Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor underwent successful surgery to repair his broken left thumb. Taylor, 31, anticipates returning before the Steelers open the regular season at Baltimore Sept. 11 . . . Police used a stun gun on former Ravens wide receiver Jermaine Lewis and charged him with resisting arrest after a traffic accident Monday evening in Baltimore County . . . Veteran safety Deon Grant, 32, re-signed with the Giants. Grant started eight games last year in his first season with New York . . . The Colts signed free agent defensive end Tyler Brayton, 31. The Colts have signed four veteran free agents - defensive end Jamaal Anderson, linebacker Ernie Sims, defensive tackle Tommie Harris and now Brayton, and all four are former first-round draft picks . . . The Saints signed journeyman running back Patrick Cobbs and the Seahawks picked up veteran safety Atari Bigby . . . The NFL supplemental draft scheduled for today has been postponed. Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who gave up his final season following an NCAA investigation, wants to get into the draft but has not yet been declared eligible . . . Pete Pihos, a Hall of Fame receiver who helped the Eagles win two straight NFL championships in the 1940s, died at a nursing home in Winston-Salem, N.C., after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 87.

Kinkead: $45.1 million in state funding for lead line replacement, other water infrastructure improvements
HARRISBURG, April 21 – The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority and the West View Water Authority in Pittsburgh have received a total of $45 million in funding from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority to make needed water quality and sewer infrastructure repairs, including lead line replacement, state Rep. Emily Kinkead announced today.
Kinkead, D-Allegheny, said $38.5 million in funding will be used by the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority to replace 25,000 feet of piping, along with 59 fire hydrants and 592 lead service lines. $6.6 million will be used by the West View Water Authority to replace aged water infrastructure, including lead service lines.
“These projects will ensure residents get reliable access to safe water by the removal of lead pipes and also reduce water loss that can come from aged infrastructure,” said Kinkead. “Investments like these will protect our water and sewer systems now and in years to come.”
Pennvest provides communities across Pennsylvania with funding for sewer, stormwater and drinking water projects. More information can be found at the following link: https://www.pennvest.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx

Pastor James Ward of Insight Church in Illinois says that America’s future is not guaranteed.
Ward was speaking at America’s Pre-Election Online Prayer and Communion Church at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.
“It is most unfortunate, and it really breaks my heart that in America, we are perishing today unnecessarily,” Ward said. “I believe with all my heart that God is calling America to not only turn but to return to Him to live and not die.
“You don’t have to die. You don’t have to perish unnecessarily,” he added.
Ward also shared that he believed that many Christians have stopped praying and that this moves Satan.
“Whenever God’s people stop praying, stop proclaiming and stop promoting ‘thy Kingdom come and thy will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven,’ Satan’s kingdom will come, and his will will be done on earth as it is in Hell in contrast to as it is in Heaven,” Ward said.
“We don’t have to live the way that we’re living under Hell’s dominion. Christ has made it possible so that the blessing of Abraham can come upon gentiles, any person … because God so loved the world,” he said.
Pastor Mark Daniel, of Focal Point Church in Orlando, also spoke at the Museum of the Bible event. He believes that 2020 has been an important reminder that it’s time for Christians to seek God.
“A heavenly alarm has sounded, and it is continuing to sound,” Daniel said. “I think the Church has abdicated our hope to a politician or to someone else, and we’re needing to return and say our hope is Jesus Christ.
“We say, ‘God come heal our land,’ but He’s saying, ‘I’m looking for you to respond, my people,’” he said. “We should not be trying to get back to normal. We should be looking for an urgency, a humbling to come upon us.”
Do you believe God is calling America to return to Him? Watch the full video below.

This is the time of year when we whine about awards season starting six months before the Oscar ceremony. Have the lamps gone out on gongs chatter? Will we see them lit again in our lifetimes?
It's not quite so bad as all that. A version of the Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff), traditionally the busiest and friendliest of the year's movie bashes, will glide into action on Thursday. The Covid-19 crisis has changed everything. In 2019, subsequent Oscar favourites such as Joker, Le Mans '66, Jojo Rabbit, Marriage Story and Parasite were among 245 features unspooling by the lake. This year, just 50 full-length films will screen at Tiff. "We began this year planning for a 45th festival much like our previous editions," Tiff artistic director Cameron Bailey explained. "But along the way we had to rethink just about everything."
There are fewer guests. There are fewer big Hollywood releases. Social distancing is in place. For the first time in its history, Tiff is premiering a significant number of movies in the (usually still balmy at this time) Ontarian outdoors. As far as the press is concerned, the festival will happen largely online. Screenings for critics will take place on the festival's digital platform. Public conversations with Toronto veterans will take place via Zoom and other services.
The Irish Times is fortunate to be included among a reduced number of remotely accredited journalists. (It may seem unusual to limit numbers for a virtual event, but fear of piracy is certain to have kept the organisers alert.) It turns out to be a good year for domestic interest.
Wolfwalkers, the latest film from Cartoon Saloon, the Oscar-nominated Irish animation studio, will premiere on the opening Saturday of the event. Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart's film tells the story of a friendship between two girls during Cromwell's brutal occupation of Ireland. The filmmakers see Wolfwalkers as the completion of the "Irish folklore" trilogy that began with The Secret of Kells and continued with Song of the Sea. All three of the Kilkenny operation's features have been nominated for best animated feature at the Oscars - The Breadwinner was up in 2018 - so expectations are high.
Cathy Brady's much-anticipated Wildfire will, in further acknowledgment of changed circumstances, have its premier at West Island Open Air Cinema on Wednesday evening. Brady's film stars Nora-Jane Noone and the late Nika McGuigan as sisters engaging with social and personal discontents along the Northern Irish Border. Brady, known for excellent shorts such as Small Change and Morning, shot the film some months before McGuigan's tragic death in July 2019. Veteran David Collins of Samson Films is among the producers.
And, of course, there is Saoirse. Ms Ronan stars opposite Kate Winslet in the already Oscar-napped Ammonite. Francis Lee's follow-up to the much-loved God's Own Country studies the growing sexual relationship between two real-life fossil hunters in 19th century England. Winslet plays Mary Anning. Ronan is Charlotte Murchison. Some artistic license has been taken. Anning was 10 years younger than Murchison, but Winslet is around 18 years older than Ronan. Some of Anning's descendants have argued that there was no evidence of a sexual relationship between the two women. None of this dulled excitement when a delicious trailer was released last week. Ronan will be engaging in a public discussion about her already spectacular career.
Also premiering at Toronto we find Regina King's One Night in Miami. King, who won the best supporting actress Oscar for If Beale Street Could Talk, makes her directorial debut with a drama imagining conversations between Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Muhammad Ali. Thomas Vinterberg's Another Round stars Mads Mikkelsen in a film about an epic nihilistic booze-out. Spike Lee's take on David Byrne's American Utopia brings that singer's 2019 Broadway show to the big screen. Demonstrating a newly collegiate atmosphere, Chloe Zhao's Nomadland, starring Frances McDormand as a contemporary wanderer, will premiere simultaneously at Toronto and the ongoing Venice Film Festival.
Dealing with the pandemic
The big festivals have dealt with the crisis in different ways. Arriving at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Cannes was forced to cancel, but organisers released a theoretical official selection of films - Another Round was one - that, in reality, were set to premiere elsewhere. Our own Galway Film Fleadh went virtual. Venice, the oldest of the big beasts, is persevering with a physical event. In order to cope with reduced capacity, there are twice as many screenings of films as is customary. Masks are required in all shared spaces. In recent years, as awards season became ever more focussed on the autumn rush, the Italian event has become ever more stuffed with high-end Hollywood fare (somehow or other, Joker won the Golden Lion in 2019), but this year sees a return to the soberer European arthouse. Films by esteemed documentarian Gianfranco Rosi and Hungarian eccentric Kornél Mundruczó will be fighting for the top award.
Meanwhile, the Telluride Film Festival, which usually straddles Venice and Toronto, has elected to cancel all screenings. This is unfortunate news for the Irish filmmaker Tadhg O’Sullivan whose To The Moon was announced as part of the official selection. O’Sullivan, director of the excellent The Great Wall, looks to be pushing boundaries again. “Structured around a lunar cycle, the film moves through tales of love, myths of madness, songs of longing and loss, dreams of innocence and the nightmare of colonialism,” the press briefing tells us. To the Moon will also play in the Venice Nights sidebar.
So, where does this leave the dangling conversation about Oscar season? In truth, that chatter does not seem likely to get started until the beginning of 2021. The Academy has moved the ceremony from February to March 25th - the latest it has been since the 1930s - and juggled the rules to accommodate delayed production and alterations in festival procedures. Certain films that cancelled scheduled theatrical premieres in favour of streaming release will, for one year only, qualify for Oscar consideration. The eligibility period for release has been extended from the end of 2020 until the close of February 2021.
This may be good news for The Sundance Film Festival, which begins on January 21st, and the Berlin Film Festival, kicking off on February 11th. Both may now compete for some of the releases lining up to squabble over best picture nominations. Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch, also on the Cannes list, could arrive in Berlin before racing to a qualifying run in American cinemas. Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins could do the same with Sundance. Then there is the Netflix contingent. The streaming giant has a wealth of potential nominees, but it seems they may skip the festival circuit this year. David Fincher's Mank, the story of the writing of Citizen Kane; Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, a study of that 1968 case; Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy, starring Amy Adams, and George C Wolfe's Ma Rainey's, featuring the late Chadwick Boseman, may all take an unusual route towards Oscar consideration. Charlie Kaufman's I'm Thinking of Ending Things is already on the service.
The world has changed. Nobody is certain if it will change back again.
The Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 10th until September 20th.

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights Book Purse
This handmade item is currently for sale on Etsy.com, a website for selling handmade items of all sorts. It fills me with horror… I hope the text met a natural end and wasn’t scooped out so the binding could be made into a purse!
The listing reads: Another one of a kind purse made from an old hardback copy of Jane Eyre’s Wuthering Heights. Perfect for the bibliophile, your favorite librarian, or just someone who likes having the coolest, most unique purse on the block. This is fully lined with quality cotton fabric and has a reinforced bottom.
Don’t fret. We’ve also seen: ‘Charlotte Bronte by Jane Eyre.’ What is worse is that it was possibly an illustrated edition. I recognise it. I have not seen the illustrations of Wuthering Heights, but all of the illustrations from this edition of Jane Eyre are available on the Bronteana Resource Site here: Jane Eyre Illustrations Page One. Just scroll down to the illustrations by Munro S. Orr.

On September 28, More than 80 political and opinion leaders from countries including the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Venezuela and Cuba jointly issued a statement of support for Taiwan. On Monday, October 5, Directorio Democrático Cubano Secretary-General Orlando Gutierrez presented this joint declaration to Taiwan’s office in Miami.
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, Gutierrez said that Latin America regards Taiwan as an economically developed and democratic island country that has a positive impact on the world. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) recent frequent provocative measures have drawn great sympathy in the region. “When they saw the CCP’s military provocations and threats to Taiwan, especially during the memorial period of the late former President Lee Teng-hui, Congressional members and intellectuals from various countries responded. They wrote this letter, expressing their support for Taiwan and opposition to any aggression or military actions that the CCP might take against the Republic of China (Taiwan).”
The declaration, in Spanish, issued an “urgent call to the world and especially to the leaders of democratic nations to deplore the climate of terror that the Xi Jinping regime has promoted against [the ROC] and its president Tsai Ing-wen.”
Among those who have signed the letter are Costa Rican Congressman Dragos Dolanescu, former Dominican Minister of Energy and Mining Pelegrín Castillo, former Mexican prosecutor René Bolio, and Colombia Senator María Fernanda Cabal.
Dominican media reported that former Dominican Minister Castillo stated that many Dominican leaders are increasingly aware that, despite their remote location, they are closely connected to Taiwan when safeguarding freedom and democracy. Costa Rican Congressman Dolanescu also expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s choice to abandon diplomatic relations with Taiwan and instead recognize China. He emphasized that it is more meaningful to support Taiwan because the two countries share common characteristics including democracy, freedom of speech and respect for human rights.

The Cornish Pasty
The following account is kindly contributed to The Cornish Pasty by Mr Henry "Oggy" Trelissick, a fellow pasty historian and Member of the Ancient Order of Pasty Antiquarians ...........
"My curiosity about pasty culture and lore and was, I think, first aroused when, just as I was developing the teeth to attack a pasty with real enjoyment, I was abruptly removed from the land of the side crimp and secret ritual and returned to Plymouth. Here the top crimp was king and orchards of young trees were to be found growing quite openly on allotments all over the City. (The occasional feral tree can still be found in the hedges of Central Park). The 'Dig for Victory' campaign had a lot to answer for, not least the spread of self-sown trees to the back yards and gardens of areas such as Devonport and Swilly. However, food was in short supply and I suppose allowances must be made.
The upshot of all this promiscuous breeding was the appearance, after the War, of the surprisingly prolific sport - the Doodni. Perhaps because of cross-pollination by South East Asian Samosas (qv), brought back as souvenirs by troops returning from fighting the Japanese, this variety proved largely self-fertile, thus removing at a stroke the major drawback to pasty cultivation: the need for careful hand pollination. The doodni's rise in popularity in the region's major centre of population led to a collapse in traditional pasty husbandry and much hardship in West Devon and South East Cornwall. In the West, however, local loyalties and the tourist trade maintained the viability of the crop. Needless to say, perhaps due to ignorance on the part of growers, the ritual and tradition of pasty culture was not practised on this new cultivar - perhaps not the right word to apply to an entity with such variable characteristics. However, the doodni did have a one or two constant features; the crust had a peculiar softness, requiring constant care in harvesting and handling; and the extraordinary moistness present in the doodni's 'meat'. This latter feature was responsible for the rupture of many a carelessly handled bag as its oozing contents soaked through the soft crust and weakened the paper, scattering the Doodni's contents in the gutter without the need for preliminary mastication.
[by the way, and before I forget, have you seen Bartleby and Swain's "The Spread of the Industrial Paper Bag and the Decline in Morbidity due to Black Mouth and Runnygut in 19th Century Devon and Cornwall."? It's in the current "Acta Historia Peninsula". My copy arrived this morning.]
With its ease of cultivation, the doodni remained the premier pasty cultivar in the Plymouth area until the fortuitous appearance of Endopterygota adipatophagus - the Turkish Croust beetle - which decimated the city's orchards, allowing a gradual return to a more healthy pre-war pasty culture. It is believed that this pest was brought into the country as a result of the increased popularity of package holidays to the Eastern Mediterranean, possibly concealed within a smuggled kebab (qv).
It is believed that the survivors of the Croust beetle plague were to be found maintained under controlled conditions in a giant shed near Callington, where, despite much local opposition, modern methods had produced the GM variety, the Ginst. This GM variety has better keeping qualities and greater resistance to further pest attack.
As you have probably noted, I have omitted all reference to the Perranzabuloe Riots, when a group of fundamentalist growers from the religious heart of pasticulture attacked the representatives of a Bristol merchant, Seth Brain. These had acquired slips of local cultivars and were intending to commence intensive cultivation in England. The excesses committed by the rioters in their search for the 'mole' who had supplied the slips and their ultimate failure to recover all the material do not reflect well on the County.
Work on a brief outline of my proposed monograph on the worldwide distribution of the Oggianophyceae is progressing and I hope to let you have it soon."
Webmaster - More about the Croust Beetle can be found HERE
Re: the Devon claim to inventing the pasty; I think a sound case could be made for their inventing the man-made item. Obviously they envied the Cornish their access to the pasty groves and made little pastry 'dolls' for comfort and to try to steal some of the magic of the real thing. Perhaps they thought pasty consumption would make them better tinners.
Webmaster - My thanks to Oggy for his scholarly contributions to the pasties record for The Cornish Pasty.

Happy National Maple Syrup Day! According to the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service, U.S. maple syrup production totaled 4.24 million gallons in 2019. In 2018, the U.S. maple syrup market was valued at $142 million with an average price per gallon of $33.80. Forecasts point to continued growth domestically and globally.
At the University of Vermont, researchers and Extension specialists capitalized on funding from NIFA’s Organic Transitions Program to help increase organic production of maple syrup to benefit consumers and producers. Despite a growing demand for organic maple syrup, barriers exist for conventional producers to transition to organic. However, findings on tree health, syrup yields of various sizes of trees, and the most effective certified organic defoamers have reduced these burdens. Now maple syrup producers have additional information and resources to improve organic maple syrup operations, increase the market for this in-demand product, and increase profitability.
And at the University of New Hampshire, scientists leveraged Hatch funding to find the sweet spot for unique tasting, high-value syrups. They are assessing the sap flows in deciduous hardwoods such as sycamore, beech, birch, hickory, and basswood, which may offer commercial and backyard maple syrup producers an untapped opportunity to extend the Northeast sugaring season and diversify the industry as well as your next pancake breakfast with niche syrups. Birch syrup, anyone?

CMRRA -- which "acts as an agent" for more than 6,000 music publishers and self-published songwriters, representing more than 80,000 music catalogs and millions of songs -- issued a statement saying it "wholeheartedly thanks" the Canadian Government for extending the term of copyright.
"On behalf of CMRRA's rightsholders, I fervently congratulate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Minister Chrystia Freeland, the Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez and Minister Navdeep Bains on this most welcomed and long-awaited decision," said CMRRA president Caroline Rioux.
Also in a statement, CMPA executive director Margaret McGuffin said "Canada's music publishers and their songwriting partners welcome the trade agreement reached between the governments of the United States, Canada and Mexico (USMCA). We believe the USMCA deal works in the best interest of all Canadians including the millions of Canadians whose livelihoods depend on a modern legal framework for copyright protection and all of those who enjoy their work." It also went on to "commend Canada's government."
The organizations also praised the terms of the new trade deal that preserves exemptions for the cultural industries.
CIMA's statement also congratulated the PM and various ministers, detailing "The renegotiation of the new NAFTA agreement was a potential cause of great concern for the cultural sector. However, CIMA acknowledges the tenacity of our Canadian negotiators, political leaders and the significant mobilization of the Canadian cultural sector that lead to the continued protection of cultural industries in the new agreement.
"Canada was able to maintain its cultural sovereignty through the continuation of our Cultural Exemption, which is essential for the future of the sector in the digital age. It will, among other things, allow Canada to maintain music support mechanisms such as Canadian Content regulations and the Canada Music Fund, without challenges from our trading partners."
The statement also applauded the change to copyright life, including the term of copyright for performances and sound recordings, which will be increased to 75 years after the release date, up from the 70 years minimum.
"We are thankful that the Canadian government values the professional and diverse cultural content produced in our country," said CIMA president Stuart Johnston, CIMA president. "Existing government measures, which are protected by the cultural exemption, support and strengthen the Canadian independent music industry and allows the industry to continue to succeed both at home and on the global stage. Extending copyright protections will only serve to enhance the value of our sector and will rightfully protect the music of our talented artists, songwriters and composers."

Why you should give a f***
A penchant for profanities is not necessarily a bad thing, according to UK research that suggests people who swear a lot tend to be more honest.
“The relationship between profanity and dishonesty is a tricky one,” says co-author Dr David Stillwell.
“Swearing is often inappropriate but it can also be evidence that someone is telling you their honest opinion. Just as they aren't filtering their language to be more palatable, they're also not filtering their views.”

I am very pleased to have Catherine Ryan Howard on my blog today as she celebrates the release of her debut thriller ‘Distress Signals’. Over to you Catherine;
Why Didn’t I Self-Publish Distress Signals?
Catherine Ryan Howard
My debut thriller, Distress Signals, was published on May 5 by Corvus/Atlantic, the first in a two-book deal. (The second will be out this time next year.) If you search for my name on Amazon, you’ll find more results than that for my name, because starting in 2010, I self-published. I started with Mousetrapped, the story of the year and a bit I spent living in Orlando, Florida and working in Walt Disney World. I followed it up with Backpacked, the story of what I did after that, i.e. went backpacking around Central America for a couple of months. Finally – since the self-publishing of the first two went well – came the obligatory ‘how to’, Self-Printed: The Sane Person’s Guide to Self-Publishing.
So I have an established platform, I know how to self-publish and it’s gone well for me in the past. So why didn’t I self-publish Distress Signals too.
1. My goal was always to get published
My goal, since I was a child, was to get a novel published. I wrote Mousetrapped, initially, because I felt woefully underprepared for my move to Orlando and thought that the other people who went out there on the same programme I did might benefit from the book. I self-published it because no one was interested in doing the publishing bit for me. Non-fiction felt a low-stakes game for me – it wasn’t the only thing I’d ever wanted to do with my life, so there was significantly less pressure. I wasn’t crippled with fear and anxiety over every last decision. I could have fun with it, because failure wouldn’t be devastating.
I feel totally different about fiction, which is why I wanted an agent to represent it and me and then, hopefully, a publisher to get involved. If Distress Signals had been rejected all over town, my thoughts might have turned to self-publishing it too. But we didn’t get that far.
2. My dream needs a traditional publisher
I’ve held this dream for the best part of three decades and it looks a certain way: a champagne welcome to a publishing house, a beautiful printed book, that book on shelves in bookstores all over the country, interviews and features in newspapers and magazines, a launch party where someone else is footing the bill for the wine. (And all the other bills too…!) Five years or so ago when e-books had an explosive surge in popularity, this dream didn’t suddenly change. I didn’t suddenly decide, after about twenty-five years of wanting a very specific thing, that hey, this other thing will ‘do’ instead. My dream remained the same. And I needed a traditional publisher in order to achieve it.
I understand that if you go to the Kindle store to download your next read, it’s hard to tell if it’s been traditionally or self-published, and it doesn’t seem to matter. But for me, that’s looking at the process very selectively, through an incredibly narrow lens. Over the last year or more, my publisher has done countless things for me that I just could not achieve by myself or, at the very least, wouldn’t have the money, experience or contacts to make happen. Getting e-books on Amazon are just one small part of the publishing process. There’s so much more to it than that, and it’s a ‘more’ I can’t make happen for myself.
3. Team Distress Signals
I loved the challenge of self-publishing and I’m so proud of what I achieved with it, especially because I made it happen by myself. But it can be a lonely road. The buck stops with you. All mistakes are your own.
Right now I have a whole team of people working with me – my agent, my editor, publicists in Ireland and the UK – while numerous other people (designers, sales agents, digital managers) do more heavy lifting behind the scenes. We all have the same goal: to make Distress Signals the best book it can be, and to make its publication as successful as possible. Each person brings years of experience, unique insight and boundless enthusiasm to the table. Because I was paid an advance, these people have invested in me. They’ve taken a risk on me. Now, we’re all working together to make sure that risk pays off.
Yes, control has to be relinquished. Yes, there are frustrating days, or confusing decisions. But so far, I think it’s more than worth it.
* * *
Ultimately, I didn’t self-publish Distress Signals because I didn’t want to and I didn’t have to. That doesn’t mean I’m done with self-publishing though. In fact, I’m certain I’ll return to it again at some point in the future, because I want this to be my career and a career has highs and lows, feasts and famines. Also, traditional publishing runs on contracts, and contracts expire. I have this deal now, yes, but no one knows what’s going to happen in the future.
Even if things go swimmingly, I still think self-publishing should have a place in every author’s master plan. But for now, I’m seeing what the view is like from the other side.
ABOUT DISTRESS SIGNALS:
Published May 5 by Corvus/Atlantic in Ireland and the UK, June 2 in Australia and New Zealand. Details of North American publication later in 2016 coming soon.
Did she leave, or was she taken?
The day Adam Dunne’s girlfriend, Sarah, fails to return from a Barcelona business trip, his perfect life begins to fall apart. Days later, the arrival of her passport and a note that reads ‘I’m sorry – S’ sets off real alarm bells. He vows to do whatever it takes to find her.
Adam is puzzled when he connects Sarah to a cruise ship called the Celebrate – and to a woman, Estelle, who disappeared from the same ship in eerily similar circumstances almost exactly a year before. To get the answers, Adam must confront some difficult truths about his relationship with Sarah. He must do things of which he never thought himself capable. And he must try to outwit a predator who seems to have found the perfect hunting ground…

Day of Reckoning: A critical ConCourt confirms Zondo’s powers and forces Zuma’s hand
Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo entertained Jacob Zuma’s delaying tactics at the State Capture Commission to the point where his fellow Constitutional Court justices criticised his inquiry’s ‘maladroit’ conduct. The court affirmed the inquiry’s powers, but it will be up to Zondo to use them as Zuma’s date with accountability looms.
The State Capture Commission only won its case against Jacob Zuma due to the magnitude of the allegations against the former president and their implications for accountability and democracy.
For almost two years, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo decided not to use his powers under the Commissions Act to compel Zuma to meaningfully participate in the inquiry. He entertained Zuma’s endless squabbles and his team negotiated in good faith with someone who only stood to benefit from derailing the commission’s work.
On Thursday, Zondo’s colleagues in the Constitutional Court affirmed his authority at the State Capture Commission, but much of the judgment deals with how his team had to rush to the apex court, months before Zondo’s final deadline, to compel the inquiry’s most important witness to appear and answer questions.
The law is clear: Zondo has the power to issue summonses to compel witnesses to appear and answer questions. If they fail to appear or leave without permission, they are guilty of an offence and liable to a fine, six months’ imprisonment, or both.
Zondo finally used those powers in late 2020 and the commission laid a criminal charge against Zuma when he left without being excused. The case is being investigated by the Hawks.
Why did it take so long?
Reading the judgment, Justice Chris Jafta said, “We are told that the Commission has sought the respondent’s attendance at its hearings since 2018. We are also told that to date the Commission has issued no less than 2,526 summonses, but we are not informed why a summons was not issued against the respondent until October 2020.”
It continues: “Despite the constitutional injunction of equal protection and benefit of the law, of which the Commission was aware, for reasons that have not been explained the Commission treated the respondent differently and with what I could call a measure of deference. He was only subjected to compulsion by summons when it was too late in the day.”
Zuma’s supporters have accused Zondo of unlawfully targeting the former president, but, in fact, the commission trod softly.
The judgment notes Zuma’s repeated failure to comply with directives requiring him to respond to testimony that implicated him. It notes how Zuma decided to withdraw from participating in the commission when he felt he was being cross-examined in July 2019.
It goes into detail on the back and forth between the commission and Zuma’s lawyers as they took offence at every request and repeatedly delayed proceedings.
The court took particular issue with how the commission’s lawyers, in December 2019, decided to finally consider issuing Zuma a summons.
Rather than following the Commissions Act, they notified Zuma that they intended to bring an application to Zondo seeking a summons.
Privilege against self-incrimination is not there for the taking by witnesses. There must be sufficient grounds that in answering a question, the witness will incriminate himself or herself in the commission of a specified crime.
“No substantive application on affidavit is required for that purpose. Nor is the witness to be summoned entitled to a hearing or an opportunity to make representations before the summons is issued,” reads Thursday’s judgment.
That application was scheduled to be heard in January 2020 but Zuma’s lawyers said he would be abroad seeking medical treatment. The commission could have heard the application in his absence but it chose to wait.
The matter was delayed again by the Covid-19 lockdown and was only heard in October 2020, in Zuma’s absence, before a summons was finally issued.
“The red lights started flashing in July 2019 when the respondent unilaterally decided to withdraw from further attendance. Later in September 2020, having berated the Chairperson for not consulting his attorneys, [Zuma] made it plain that he will not participate in the hearings unless the Chairperson recused himself. This was a build-up to what happened in November 2020,” the judgment continued, referring to Zuma’s decision to leave the hearing.
“However, the Commission’s maladroit conduct described above is not decisive of the interests of justice issue,” the judgment continued.
Despite the commission’s failures, the court ordered Zuma, who didn’t participate in the Constitutional Court case, to obey the summonses and directives, appear and answer questions.
The court rebuked the former president: “The respondent’s conduct in defying the process lawfully issued under the authority of the law is antithetical to our constitutional order.
“We must remember that this is a Republic of laws where the Constitution is supreme. Disobeying its laws amounts to a direct breach of the rule of law, one of the values underlying the Constitution and which forms part of the supreme law.”
It ruled that Zuma does not have a right to remain silent. He does have a right not to incriminate himself, but that’s not a blanket privilege.
“Privilege against self-incrimination is not there for the taking by witnesses. There must be sufficient grounds that in answering a question, the witness will incriminate himself or herself in the commission of a specified crime,” said the court.
The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (Casac) was admitted as amicus curiae in the case and its executive director, Lawson Naidoo, told eNCA the ruling meant witnesses could not repeatedly claim the right against self-incrimination, without basis, as former SAA chairperson Dudu Myeni did when she appeared.
Casac had argued that the privilege should not be allowed in a commission of inquiry, which the court dismissed. Naidoo called the judgment’s caveats on invoking the right “a big step forward”.
The same rules, however, appeared to exist when Myeni testified at the commission. Zondo largely allowed her to invoke her right against self-incrimination, even on trivial details, and only intervened when evidence leader advocate Kate Hofmeyr pointed out that her refusals were not based on valid legal reasons.
When Zuma returns to the commission he is likely to try to invoke his right not to comment for fear of criminal prosecution. Zondo will have to decide whether those fears are legally valid.
If Zuma defies Zondo’s instructions to appear or answer questions, he could face further criminal charges.
The former president always appears to have a reason to delay proceedings, but accountability appears slowly to be catching up with him. The commission’s last summons required him to give testimony from 15-19 February 2021.
He’s due back in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on 23 February on racketeering, money laundering and corruption charges related to the Arms Deal. A warrant of arrest was issued in that case in February 2020 after Zuma skipped a court appearance but it was withdrawn after he produced a doctor’s letter confirming he was ill. DM
