Menu Plan for the week of Jan. 4, 2013: Monday's Recipes
Stir-Fried Turkey with Cabbage and Cashews
Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
This will use the rest of the cabbage. Bok Choy is a common ingredient in stir-fries; Savoy cabbage is a good substitute. Cashews are optional, but I love them!Stir-Fried Turkey with Cabbage and Cashews Preparation and cooking time: 30 minutes
You can use turkey cutlets for this, sliced into strips, or part of a larger turkey tenderloin, freezing the rest for another time, or even ground turkey... or chicken breasts....
10oz (300gr) turkey cutlets or tenderloin
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs minced ginger substitute 1/2 tsp dried
1 rib celery
1/2 green pepper
1/3 head Savoy cabbage
4oz (120gr) mushrooms
1/4 cup cashews substitute peanuts, almonds
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) chicken stock
1 tbs sherry (optional)
1 tbs peanut butter
2 tsp cornstarch (Maizena) dissolved in 1 tbs water
Thinly slice onion. Mince garlic. Mince ginger (peel first). Cut pepper into matchsticks. Slice the celery at an angle. Trim and slice mushrooms. Remove dark green outer leaves from cabbage. Cut off a thick slice, avoiding the core. Lay flat, cut into 3 or 4 wedges, then thinly slice the wedges. Cut the turkey into strips - bite-size.
Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, mushrooms to skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and stir-fry another 2 minutes. Remove onions/garlic from pan and set aside.
Add sesame oil, soy sauce to pan and heat. Add turkey and stir-fry 3 - 5 minutes, until golden. Remove and put with onions.
Add cabbage, pepper to skillet and stir-fry 5 minutes. Return turkey, onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic and ginger to pan. Add chicken stock, sherry, peanut butter and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in water. Uncover, add cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened.
Arrange rice on a small platter. Spoon turkey and vegetables into the center, sprinkle with cashews and serve, adding more soy sauce if desired.
Brown Rice Time: 20 minutes or whatever your package says
I use 'Uncle Ben's' which is all I can get and it is quick cooking. It looks like brown Basmati and cooks in 20 minutes.
1/2 cup brown rice. quick cooking
1 cup (8oz, 240ml) chicken stock (or half each) or whatever your rice calls for
Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and serve.
Cooking schedule: 30 minutes
Add garlic, ginger to skillet, sauté

India vs South Africa – 3rd T20 International Preview & Prediction
When is India vs South Africa taking place? Sunday, September 22nd (14:30 UK time)
Where is India vs South Africa taking place? M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
What is the expected weather for India vs South Africa? 25c with a small chance of rain and 70% humidity
What channel is India vs South Africa on? This match will not be televised live in the UK
Where can I stream India vs South Africa? This match will not be streamed live in the UK
Where can I get tickets for India vs South Africa? Tickets for this match can be purchased here
India beat South Africa by 7 wickets
- India got off to a strong start in this three-match T20 series as after the first match was washed out, they comfortably won the second match by seven wickets thanks to an economical bowling display and an unbeaten 72 by skipper Virat Kohli.
- As they continue to experiment ahead of the T20 World Cup next year, they have been fielding as many as four all-rounders to strengthen both their batting and bowling with Washington Sundar especially making an impact opening the bowling with his off-spin.
- They have plenty of options if they decide to change things around at all but the likelihood is that they name an unchanged side for this as they aim to seal the series, and they showed that relentless drive in the recent series in the Caribbean.
- South Africa are unlikely to overreact to the defeat in the second T20 match in Mohali as they too are very much a work in progress as they bed some new players in and Quinton de Kock becomes accustomed to leading the team.
- They only lost five wickets in the last match but could only manage a relatively tame total of 149 which was nowhere near enough to really test the hosts and that was largely due to the lack of big-hitting in their middle order as all their batsmen other than De Kock struggled to score much quicker than a run a ball.
- They will have to take a much bolder approach if they bat first here which will mean taking more risks as India looked comfortable against their bowling attack which may see a change as Junior Dala is a candidate to come into the side.
India were comfortable winners last time out and they will be highly motivated to seal another series win here. Both teams continue to experiment and test different personnel and tactics but they are unlikely to make many changes as they look to find some form and give their players a chance to produce. The lack of big-hitting in the South African line-up is a major concern and their bowlers do not possess the same threat that the hosts' attack does. That should see Virat Kohli's men pick up yet another victory and seal the T20 series.

Lord Alan Sugar has praised the late Steve Jobs one year on from his death.
The Apprentice star will receive an accolade for his 'Outstanding Contribution to Technology' at the T3 Gadget Awards this evening (October 8), but was keen to point out that the Apple co-founder deserves the same recognition.
"One has to admire my late friend at Apple," Lord Sugar told T3. "It was fantastic what he did. He was not so much a technologist, but he had a vision. It's a real shame we've lost him."
He added: "[Jobs] had his mad ways of doing things but they weren't that mad in the end, were they?"
Lord Sugar's achievements in the technology sector include launching Sky with Rupert Murdoch, bringing a line of affordable PCs to Britain, and his recent YouView digital TV venture.
Apple marked the first anniversary of Jobs's passing on Friday (October 5) with a video tribute on its website and the public release of a letter by his successor Tim Cook.
Often referred to as the 'Oscars of the gadget world', the T3 Gadget Awards will also honour the greatest gadgets, software and personalities that have "wowed the world" over the past 12 months.

Disasters always bring out extreme versions of those who suffer through them. One who has endured personal disadvantages (too much personal debt, for example) and sees no relief in the immediate future might tend to become one of those opportunists who turn to looting. Others who always cling to their moral compasses become those who think on their feet and find ways to help, no matter how daunting the task.
With that in mind, you need to read a couple of articles. The first one is based on a UPI report as published by Monsters and Critics. Now read an article (may require registration) that enlarges on the UPI report in the Washington Post.
Besides the word count, notice the difference?
The real story here is the ingenuity, fortitude, and desire to serve being demonstrated by a number of local political leaders in the Gulf region in the aftermath of Katrina. These men and women clearly have their priorities straight. They have shown courage in the face of innumerable obstacles, none the least of which appears to be the federal government.
To call any one of them a "crook" needs some serious context.
Mayor Brent Warr was called one in both reports. Granted, the things he did were technically illegal. One does not hijack a fuel truck or steal a stove and expect to get away with it. Not usually, I should say. But when you find yourself the leader of a city without power and thousands of citizens who are suffering, you might need to take extraordinary measures.
Fortunately, the Post added some crucial context to Mayor Warr's situation. Yes, he hijacked a truck. Even got an inmate from the city jail to do it. But that fuel was immediately routed to a local hospital to power their generators and, ultimately, keep patients safe and relatively healthy. Of course he "stole" a stove. When you have over 500 first responders working themselves into oblivion with nothing to eat, you bet you confiscate a stove. You also set it up in the parking lot of City Hall and continue to use it to feed those good samaritans while there's work to be done. You also (the UPI fails to mention this) watch helplessly as your own family business is itself ransacked and looted.
A criminal? Hardly. A visionary leader with the guts to act? All the way. Is he alone? Nope. Able-bodied citizens from around the region are pitching in to lend a hand in any way they can.
It's too bad, really, that we have to hear about the in-fighting and finger-pointing that have apparently paralyzed New Orleans and Louisiana politicos in this crisis. FEMA certainly deserves its black eyes in this mess. But we also need to hear about folks like Warr and other Gulf area leaders who refuse to wait for the paperwork to clear. Get the job done now, whatever it takes, and sort it all out later. Will the owner of that fuel be compensated? Eventually, I'm sure. The owner of that "confiscated" stove? Use it with my blessing, Mayor. Warr and other mayors meet to decide how best to help the people in the cities they love so well. They need help, and they're asking for it, but they're not just sitting on their brains all day with wringing hands waiting for the feds to come through.
Even the Mississippi governor's wife is helping by driving supplies into stricken areas with a pickup truck. It's cynical of me to have a hard time imagining Maria Shriver doing such a thing in California, but one never knows.
As I say, disasters will either bring out the worst, or the best, in just about everyone.

I'm so glad it's Friday because these late night games really do a number after a few days. I managed to watch the first inning before succumbing to sleep, but I did see Mookie hit his second leadoff home run of this series. Just incredible. He's really mashing right now and if he keeps it up, I see a repeat of his stellar near-MVP 2016 season unfolding. He's already well on his way. The Angels actually managed to tie the game at one in the bottom of the second, but as has been usual this season, the Red Sox pulled away by scoring two in the fourth off the bats of Rafael Devers and JD Martinez. Former Red Sox outfielder Chris Young hit a solo homer to bring the Angels within a run, but the Sox would tack on five more runs before the game was over, including three RBI from Andrew Benintendi (one of which was a solo home run), another RBI from Devers, and an RBI from Mitch Moreland. When all was said and done, the relentless Red Sox attack propelled them to a series sweep and their seventh straight win with a final score of 8-2. It seems like every game there's one or two guys who are hot with the bat, and then the next game someone who may have been slumping a bit steps up and has a hot stretch. They all pick each other up and together, it makes for a very dangerous offense.
As for the pitching, the Sox got six innings from Eduardo Rodriguez and then three innings of one-hit ball from the bullpen to close it out. With Drew Pomeranz coming back to make his first start of the season Friday against Oakland, this Red Sox rotation looks to only get stronger as the season progresses. Except for David Price's disaster against the Yankees last week, all of the starters have gone at least through six innings in their starts and have pitched extremely well. With their record now 16-2, the Sox have the best start in team history. At this point, I'm not going to worry about setting records or how many wins they finish the season with...I'm just going to enjoy the ride. I do think they should be able to pad that record and extend their streak with this next series against the dreadful A's, though I hope I didn't just jinx them now!

By my count there were five different car auctions during the week. The Gooding & Company auction was the 'official' one and it was held near the Concours site at Pebble Beach. RM Auctions was the other big one, held off site in a large hotel in downtown Monterey. RM had the largest sale take at $125 million and the highest single sale at $27.5 million while Gooding was close with a total sale of $112 million. Vintage Motorsport, on their website, claimed that, once all the post-auction sales were completed, the auctions, taken all together, had seen record sales of over $311 million.
I arranged for media credentials for the RM and Gooding Auctions and spent some time at both. On Thursday, I checked out the preview at RM's downtown location. I have a particular affection for three of the cars which RM were featuring: 1953 Ferrari Mondial 2-litre (sold at $9 million), 1955 Ferrari Monza three-litre in the Scaglietti bodywork I like and which inspired the prolific US fiberglass body maker Bill Devin ($4 million) , and the 1960 Birdcage Maserati – the one which won at the Nürburgring with Gurney and Moss driving ($2 million). All these were highlighted in the lobby of the hotel.
I found my way out to the back of the hotel where most of the other 130-odd cars were on display. This was not the Barrett-Jackson style of offering we are used to from television – I only counted about five cars going to the block with an estimate below $100,000 – a million and more being more common valuations.
Of course, the big news came on the second night when the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4S NART, which had an auction estimate of $14 to $17 million was hammered down at a record $27.5 million. Amazing! The Canadian entrepreneur, Lawrence Stroll, who also owns the Mont Tremblant race circuit, was the buyer – adding the car to his collection of vintage Ferraris.
I had met a neatly-dressed gentleman siting down relaxing on a wall at the side of the preview area. We had a brief casual conversation and at the end he volunteered that, among the cars he was considering buying, was the 1939 Mercedes 540K roadster, a car that had caught my eye. I'm not sure if he bought it or not but it sold for $7.5 million.
RM also celebrated the fact that they had been the restoration house for the 1934 Packard which won best of show at the Concours on Sunday.
After yet another traffic mess trying to find a parking spot somewhere near the action at Pebble Beach late Saturday afternoon, I visited the Gooding Auction on their first auction night. The auction was held in an immense array of big circus-style tents seemingly big enough to house a Zeppelin airship. There was an open-air stage at the front, next came the preview area with the 127 cars on offer on display and then you passed into the auction itself. This huge tent was dominated by a big stage with the auctioneers to one side and the cars being wheeled across the rest of main stage one after the other. In front of the stage was a huge section of white upholstered chairs for the actual bidders, while there was another section of seats – even bigger – behind. There were wide aisles around the three sides which allowed people to flow around the room. And there were kiosks all around the outside selling food and drink appropriate to this high-roller crowd.
Of course, few of the people there could get close enough to the cars on the stage to get a good look so there were a number of video cameras, including one on a long mobile boom providing shots of the cars – and the auctioneers – which could be viewed at home or on screens distributed around the auction room.
I did spot my friend from the RM preview and I asked him if he had bought anything and he said yes, and mentioned a mid-'30s car (not the Mercedes) that he had bought. That's some shopping list!
Gooding's top sale was a 1957 Ferrari 250 GT which sold for $9.5 million. While I was watching the auction, the auctioneer called for an opening bid of one million and he got it. That's a long way from the farm auctions I used to attend with my parents where they would be bidding a quarter (i.e. 25 cents) or so on a basket of assorted tools or dishes. But I remember farms being sold at these sales and, for the farmer bidders in attendance, this would have been a bigger deal for them than Stroll bidding his millions on yet another Ferrari.
I had spotted a few curiosities in the catalog before I got there: 1967 Volkswagen 21-window bus (sold at $126,500), a similar 1956 DKW panel truck which sold at $102,000 despite an auction estimate of $200,000, and a well-turned out 1970 Toyota jeep-style Land Cruiser ($72,000).
I was interested to see what kind of price the Gurney F1 (1967 AAR Gurney-Westlake Eagle Mk 1) car would command. This car's sole win was a non-championship F1 race, the 1967 Brands Hatch Race of Champions. It sold at $3.74 million.
There are many different collector car auction companies. The Barrett-Jackson auction is probably the best know given its exposure on the SPEED channel. While that auction does see many sales over $100,000 it seems to me that, but contrast to RM and Gooding, its concentration is on American cars, particularly cars from the muscle car era – and it's obvious that there is a strong market for those cars. The two auctions I visited at Monterey are in a different stratum. Very few American cars from any era and more sales over a million than under $100,000. This is the big time and, despite the prevalent talk of hard financial times, there seems to be, as Rob Meyer of RM put it "...a lot of money chasing too few automobiles."
It was a blast to attend these two auctions but I don't expect I'll be raising my hand to bid anytime soon.

Subject to legal advice, I hope the SNP are at least still considering their options about challenging the BBC and Sky debates. On the face of it, they ought to have a better case against Sky, who are planning to exclude the third-largest party but include the fourth-largest party. But as far as ITV are concerned, we'll just have to get our prayer mats out and hope that this shameful attempt to stitch up the general election has a relatively limited effect.

Why didn't the SNP take stv to court? They are after all the franchise holder for the two exclusively Scottish regions and should therefore be held to account for any itv programmes transmitted in central & northern Scotland.ReplyDeleteReplies
I did wonder about that, but presumably they took advice on the most promising legal tactic.Delete
- AnonymousNovember 18, 2019 at 5:15 PM
Not the best advice as it turns out. Also itv have deep pockets and stv don't so stv may have conceded the issue without a fight. We'll never know now.Delete
Just because one tactic failed, it doesn't necessarily follow that a different tactic would have succeeded. In these situations you always have to jump one way or the other based on the best assessment available.Delete

The SNP knew they were going to lose this court case, they did it as a demonstration to voters in Scotland to show them in how much contempt Scotland is heldDelete
Will it work is another question
Maybe being a bit naive here but i think the debate may be a car crash waiting to happen.ReplyDelete
I'm not so sure the participants will emerge too well from this. This could end up being one big slagfest.
The public has a very cynical view of politicians at the mo and i think the SNP might benefit from not being there...Replies
Nobody has ever benefited from not being in a leaders' debate. (Unless the two participants start attacking each other with machetes.) All that will happen is that people watching will forget the SNP exist for the duration.Delete
They could be mentioned a fair bit though, as "two referendums" has been one of Johnson's main anti-Corbyn lines.Delete
And then, outrageously, the SNP will have no right of reply. I'm not sure whether that's better or worse.Delete
Not sure i agree with you James. There are numerous examples of politicians having a mare. I do think the SNP has to play to the Scottish public and emphasise the undemocratic nature of this debate....however i do think neither Johnson and Corbyn will necessarily benefit from this eventDelete
If Johnson has a mare, Corbyn will benefit. If Corbyn has a mare, Johnson will benefit. If both have a mare, nobody will benefit. There are no (realistic) circumstances in which the SNP benefit from a rigged debate. None.Delete

Nobody's going to be watching.ReplyDelete
General public sick to the back teeth of politics.Replies

'No-one has ever benefited from not being in the debate', not no sure, Teresa May may well have, the more the public saw of her, the more unpopular she became.ReplyDeleteReplies
Theresa May refused to take part in the debates and the Tories did less well than expected at the election. Whether those two facts are directly connected is hard to say, but they don't exactly lend weight to your theory.Delete
Labour did less well than expected in 2015, and the Lib Dems in 2010, doesn't necessarily mean Miliband and Clegg were wrong to take part in the debates.Delete
May's approval rating dropped throughout the 2017 campaign, difficult to think seeing more of her, or her being more prominent would have changed that. As she was becoming more well known to the public she was becoming less and less popular.
Tories ran a presidential style campaign at the outset using her name at every opportunity, but by the end there was barely a mention of her.
Her campaign had so many flaws, the idea more of May would have produced a better outcome, while we'll never know, to me seems highly improbable.
Expectations were based on polls, which in most cases, were a little bit out in 2017, despite the narrowing toward the end.
"to me seems highly improbable"Delete
Not half as improbable as your claim that being left out of the biggest setpiece events of the election campaign can somehow be a good thing.
Johnson will probably have a pop at Corbyn for not ruling out indyref2 for the next zillion years. Corbyn, therefore, will be forced to up his rhetoric as a result and sound even more anti-indyref2 than he is already.ReplyDelete
Both will sound even more anti-Scotland than they do already.
Could that help the SNP?Replies
Well, it might have done, if they'd been there to get a word in edgeways.Delete
It will be quite something if during this rigged 'debate' the pair of them even mention Scotland and/or independence. I bet they will though, they will put the boot in for sure.Delete
This whole rigging of political choice and freedom, is a travesty of all that is decent and democratic in the so called 'UK'.
Devolution is a joke, Scotland is treated with utter contempt, and the people of Scotland treated as second class. I would say citizens, but in English terms they call people, 'subjects'. Subjects of a corrupt, increasingly far right wing and very dodgy regime.
In normalising the silencing of the SNP, it is a very sinister and worrying tactic, and a portend for what's to come post Brexit. Scary times.

Well it's been nearly a month since a national poll. If the Tories drift back to their 2017 GB showing the Scots Tories are going to drift up too. Labour too. Most of this will come from the unionist pool. SNP do better with a divided opposition if it does sit at 38-42%Delete
Based on my understanding of how Scobaldi is averaging that is. Will make things uber conservative and below full Scottish polling for the SNP.Delete
My own average is boringly stable. SNP at least (not very SNP friendly) Yougov type levels and 20 points clear of the Tories. The latter do seem to have edged up a couple of points to low 20's since brexit have departed the scene.

We're going to smash the Scot Nats and the Corbyn Commies come election day.Delete
"If the Tories drift back to their 2017 GB showing the Scots Tories are going to drift up too. Labour too."Delete
There is no basis for this assumption. It's a possibility, but there is no historical pattern based on recent elections to that effect.
The polling is completely different this time, particularly in terms of leader ratings. Corbyn was actually quite popular with Scots last time around for example. Johnson's likewise as popular as fresh shit in a lift.
It is an English election now, and the biggest danger is low Scots turnout as a result of the racism/exclusion shown towards them, with their focus turning to holyrood as they prepare for independence / detach from British politics.
What we can be sure of is that a Brexit Tory victory seals the end of the union. Yes will move to permanent majority. The polls have said this clearly enough, and it's as we expect.
The Tories will then need to decide to respect that and facilitate iref2, or (literally) send in English jackboots to take back control after shutting / neutering Holyrood and declaring Scots voting as illegal etc.
I don't say this frivolously. It's how these things go. If a Section 30 is refused, some sort of violent crackdown will very, very likely follow just as night follows day. It's the route Spain has chosen. The moment you decide voting is illegal, you need to send in jackboots because the electorate won't have their vote taken from them. They will rise up against you. See Hong Kong and Catalonia for live examples.
The detachment of Scottish politics from UK patterns is stark in the post 2017 data, even though Scottish UK GE intention is the most 'British' you can get Scots to be voting-wise these days.Delete
While England e.g. saw the Lab and Con votes plunge to brexit and the Libs in massive swings (now reversing just as dramatically), the SNP remained all but unchanged, only edging up slowly and steadily, presumably in line with Yes finally topping 50% on average. A group of voters now operating completely outside the British world.
The UK swings have been mirrored in Scotland, but very much subdued as they have occurred in parties with a much lower share of the vote. So e.g. a 20 point shift from Con to Brx in the UK, was a rather paltry 5 point or so one in Scotland.
If SNP voters turn out, they will do very well, and make good gains on 2017. If not, then gains may be minor and coming from recent Yes/Remain converts.

People who are going to vote who are in favour of independence are going to go to the SNP I would imagine - so there minds are most likely made up. Even if, worst case scenario, all soft no/yes voters go with unionist parties in the end, SNP will still have a good showing with the solid yes block.ReplyDeleteReplies
Six train companies will be held up at the Scottish border with England for passport checks if Scotland becomes independent. The fabricated Irish backstop will pale into insignificance.

His exact words were rather more complex. He said he hoped the SNP get as many seats as possible while at the same time he disliked half the candidates so much he hoped they lose.

Campbell will be backing the SNP as the only show in town by voting Lib Dem, as usual. That is a party that opposes another Scottish referendum. Take your pick between very profitable millenarian blogshite, and real action.Delete

If you live in Bath, and I did back in the 80s, voting Lib Dem to try and curb Maggie's excess was the main option although admittedly I voted Labour in 87 and even had Labour posters up in my window.Delete
It is currently a Lib Dem seat. If I was still there I would be torn. I dislike Swinson but I dislike Johnson far more. Labour has no chance in Bath and has never held the seat. What would you do given the stakes at play? Moral mazes FTW.
I wouldn't criticise Mr Campbell for voting Lib Dem in the past, because as you say it's a major dilemma when you live in a seat like that, but speaking personally I'd never vote (even on a tactical basis) for a party explicitly committed to blocking an independence referendum. There's no Green candidate in Bath this time, so God knows what I'd do. There's an independent candidate, so I might take a look at him and see whether he's a nutter or not. But the Lib Dems' stance on Scotland is even worse than Labour's, so I suppose if all else failed I'd have to vote Labour.Delete

Response to Scottish Skier at 8:25 PM - I have been saying this all along, a violent crackdown will follow. We missed the one chance in 2014 for a soft divorce because they didn't believe it was a possibility or as some people suggest they fiddled with it. The only way Scotland will get free of the UK is after a bit of a blood bath - that's the way states get free of the UK - no-one ever gets away without 1) incitement followed by 2) a crackdown. That's the UK way.ReplyDeleteReplies
This happened to the people of my other country (Ireland) within living memory of some.Delete
Ireland was time and again promised 'home rule' and 'even better devolution', only for it to be shelved at the next opportune moment.
The 1918 election saw a stunning peaceful democratic victory for Irish parliament + independence supporting parties. However, as thanks for tens of thousands of young Irish boys being slaughtered in the trenches fighting for the British empire, the English/British responded by shooting, burning and raping their way across Eire. 'Putting down the natives'.
Other colonies received similar treatment. Ask the Boers or Kenyans about the concentration camps for example. Hitler just borrows the idea from the brits.
So aye, the British cannot be trusted; racist violent repression is the way they do things. So when they are on telly openly announcing they plan to take away the right to vote from Scots, folks should be very concerned and listen to the advice of people from other former colonies.
This should be calmly made clear on doorsteps; the English are saying they will take away your vote and declare any attempt for you to use it as illegal, likely followed by beating you up or imprisoning you.

With regard to Wings over Scotland - the guy and the site have been given way too much credit for the magnitude of the support for Scottish independence. I had never heard of him, the site nor the blue book until well into 2015. Somehow I managed to work out that independence was the best option for Scotland all on my very own - I am sure there are dozens of others like me out there if not scores. Pandering to his ego helps fuel his delusion about his place in the movement. Best to ignore him for his own sake as much as for the movement. If you want independence vote SNP - its that simple.ReplyDeleteReplies

At what point do we just accept that this is all just a democratic charade? The media is beyond rigged, the narrative lost and i'm sorry but whatever you think you are doing on the ground these days it will be swept away in a tweetstorm arranged by god knows who hitting 100x the numbers you are engaging.

Agree, big shifts in NI. Well couple of seats here and there. And? You think London will care when the greater Leicester area swings the election on three times the number of seats in total to NI? GFA - in the scheme of things its a big 'meh' to most people in England below the age of 50.Delete
It doesn't matter what England thinks, it's what the EU and the USA think.Delete
NI is heading for reunification whether England likes it or not, and once that domino starts to fall, the rest will follow.
The union flag will cease to exist following an NI departure for a start; the red saltire will need to come off. Are they going to make a new flag at this late stage, what with Scotland half way out the door?
I do have a worry Britain will use violence to try and hold itself together, at least for a short while. The saving grace is that it's a coward/bully, so would buckle quickly the moment you fought back. Take it from me as an Irishman; they just run away if you actually put up a fight. Chickenshit.
How many zombies believe we live in a democracy. What democracy.ReplyDelete
2014 is often held up as an example of Scots being able to vote freely and fairly on being in the union.ReplyDelete
This is not true however, as England/Britain broke just about every rule on non-intervention in self determination.
For example, broadcasting should have been handed over to Scotland following signing of the Edinburgh agreement. England/Britain controlling broadcasting was not in any way compatible with free democratic self-determination. It was no different to e.g. Putin taking control of Crimean broadcasting.
Likewise, all English politicians should have been banned from appearing on TV in Scotland / campaigning here, other than in a purely personal capacity, Cameron etc included.
It's the international norm to stay out of votes in other countries. Once the Edinburgh Agreement was signed, Scotland was no longer British for a while. It was in no mans land. Like a Jury out for decision. It should have been left alone to decide itself, free from any outside intervention.
But the racist colonial hatred the Britain/the English government have for Scotland made sure that would never happen, just as the Irish and other former colonies experienced.Replies
Did not know my race was Scottish. Used to be North European.Delete
You may not identify as Scottish, but the Scottish race exists, socially/culturally/politically/legally etc.Delete
It's nothing specifically to do with biology. Only people who believe biology is key to defining race think that, and they're well, rather unpleasant.
A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society...
While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.
You seem to be inventing a race to suit yourself. Being born in Scotland does make you a Brit/Scot by nationality but you could have Brit/English parents. So does that make the child and parents different races! There is no difference between Scots, Irish, Welsh and English except for their geographical location.Delete
Is it possible that because Swinson has a higher profile and on our tv screens more often that her constituents realise how bad she is and she loses her own seat?ReplyDelete

I'm not a big fan of broccoli that's nearly raw, but this salad works. Kripalu guests absolutely love it. The dressing is rich and creamy with almond butter and toasted sesame oil, sweet with golden honey, pungent with minced ginger, and aromatic with fresh cilantro and lime. You could also mix this dressing with noodles or drizzle it over a salad.
How to Make It
For the salad, bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Drop in the broccoli and blanch for 2 minutes. Use a strainer to remove the broccoli and then run cool water over it for a minute or two to stop the cooking. Let drain and reserve.
For the dressing, spoon the almond butter into a medium bowl. Whisk in the lime zest and juice, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, cayenne, and cilantro until the dressing is well blended and creamy. If your almond butter is thick and the dressing isn't creamy enough to easily coat the broccoli, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the blanched broccoli, carrots, bok choy, and radishes.
Toss to coat, and serve immediately. You can cover and refrigerate the salad, but as it sits it will get increasingly wet as the salt in the dressing draws moisture from the vegetables.

The Word On The Street has been renowned for the quality and diversity of its event programming and our next festival promises to offer the best so far. Please see the 2019 schedule below!
A badly injured man. A nationwide power failure. A village buried in snow. A desperate struggle for survival. These are the ingredients of The Weight of Snow, Christian Guay-Poliquin's riveting new novel. After surviving a major accident, the book's protagonist is entrusted to Matthias, a taciturn old man who agrees to heal his wounds in exchange for supplies and a chance of escape. The two men become prisoners of the elements and of their own rough confrontation as the centimetres of snow accumulate relentlessly. Surrounded by a nature both hostile and sublime, their relationship oscillates between commiseration, mistrust, and mutual aid. Will they manage to hold out against external threats and intimate pitfalls?
Christian Guay-Poliquin was born just north of the US border in Saint-Armand, Québec in 1982. Le fil des kilometers, his first novel, was published by both La Pleuplade and Bibliothèque québécoise in Québec, and by Phébus in France. It appeared in English as Running on Fumes (Talonbooks, 2016). The Weight of Snow is being translated into nine languages (includimg Spanish, Italian, German, and Czech), and is enjoying great public and critical success in France and Québec. He is now developing a thesis project on the hunting narrative and also works in renovation. The pencil on his ear serves to mark his measures as much as it does to record his ideas.

What's a Philo?
The festival is named after Philo T. Farnsworth, the father of modern television. Philo was born August 19, 1906 on a farm near Beaver City, Utah. As a youth in 1922, Philo first revealed his scientific ideas for an all-electric television system. He later established an electronics laboratory in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he succeeded in turning his dreams into reality by inventing the first receiving tube for television transmissions.
It is fitting that the ACM Central States Region honors the memory of Philo T. Farnsworth by recognizing the efforts of modern day pioneers who work to further develop the use of this technology and promote the use of media in our communities. The "PHILO" is awarded as recognition of excellence in media creation.
What's this Festival about?
The Philo Festival of Media Arts is all about you: the media producer. It's a unique combination of competition, collaboration, educational and creative content hosted by the Central States Alliance for Community Media. The event offers invaluable networking opportunities and immersion into the creative art and the rapidly evolving world of independent media. The festival features professional speakers, creative minds, and notable mentors that are there to help you tackle the latest media making trends and technology. And of course…the awards will be given to honor and celebrate your amazing work.

You think Mikey, Raph, Donnie and Leo are great? They can't hold a candle to the Queen of Green. Here's why she was a notch above the other sewer dwellers:
- She was trained to become a Shinobi master in China: Which is close to Japan, where Shinobi are actually from. So you know, must be better than from some rat in New York.
- Her training wasn't weighed down by constantly eating heavy meals of only pizza: A balanced diet is key to ninja training.
- She can dream walk: Who doesn't wish they could enter a spirit realm and force the souls of their friends back into their bodies, essentially ripping them from heaven to live in the hellish sewers of New York.
- Diversity: Come on, four male main characters and their male master. Try to be more inclusive, guys.
- Strongest swimmer of the group: I mean, she made it from New York to China somehow, right? I doubt any of the other four turtles could have done that.
- Only turtle who can fight using mystical orbs: I mean come on. They only trusted Donatello with a stick.
- She is the most ninja-like: She has stayed so well hidden in the shadows that no one has seen or heard her for 20 years. The other four turtles are on television or movies every week. Way to stay hidden, guys.
Clearly, Venus is the only turtle who can claim to be the best. I dare you to prove otherwise.

The Trump administration banning the CDC from using certain words while preparing for next year's budget puts politics before public health.
Medicine and public health should be directed by need, not by political whims. It is a realm that should absolutely be free from political meddling and yet this is not possible. Budgets are decided by politicians. So often, even subtly, health priorities are at the mercy of appealing to politicians. It's why so little was done during the early years of the AIDS crisis; there wasn't the political desire to tackle the situation and so action was slow and money was granted in trickles.
The dangers of political interference are clear: people get left behind, population groups ignored when action is required and medical practitioners are left frustrated that they cannot do more. The Washing Post recently broke the story that the Centre for Disease Control has been banned from using seven words in documents for next year's budget. While this has subsequently been denied since the news broke, there is huge confusion about what is allowed and what is really going on behind the scenes. Any ban is a crass political act by an administration that has shown it's unconcerned with people's lives and that politics and fear-mongering comes first. The seven words which are banned have huge implications. They are: "entitlement", "vulnerable", "fetus", "transgender", "diversity", "evidence-based" and "science-based".
"This is a crass political act by an administration that has shown its unconcerned with people's lives and that politics and fear-mongering comes first"
That these words specifically were banned shows that the administration has an incredibly dangerous attitude towards public health, and this is likely just the start of further meddling. Health isn't about ideology or what people feel. It's about what people need. Furthermore, that need is being eroded. By banning the mentioning of evidence and science-based suggestions and conclusions, the Trump administration is paving a way to make the CDC's priorities political and not about health if evidence about who needs help can be dismissed. By eliminating scientific arguments, Trump can smear the CDC as political (even though that's exactly what he wants it to be).
The words "entitlement" and "vulnerable" also have chilling implications of their own. It's common practice to examine vulnerable populations (and much of the time, this includes disabled people). It's how when fighting an outbreak of infection, vulnerable populations will be targeted first with support to try to contain the spread of the infection but also ensure that those who need support the most get it. The fixation of "entitlement" is reflective of an administration of snowflake (specifically pale, male and completely stale) men who are wounded and want to laugh at anyone who says they have privilege. It is the most bizarre fixation but the fact that it extends to public health right now shows just how deep Trump's toxic masculinity goes.
Perhaps the least surprising words banned are "fetus" and "transgender" although they have their own harrowing implications. Transgender people are at increased risk of mental health conditions, living in poverty and of becoming HIV+. Due to the lack of support trans people get, their health is at risk of being compromised in the same way other vulnerable groups are. Banning the mentioning of an at risk population then risks impacting how the CDC would focus their actions, and also how much money is diverted into supporting that population.
As for "fetus", having an anti-abortion stance is right in tune with a Trump-Pence administration but again, while predictable, it suggests this is just the start of politicising medicine.
This isn't particularly a surprising move. Almost as soon as he took office, Trump banned the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture from giving updates on social media. Trump's tactic has been to suppress freedom of speech within certain agencies and bodies. While people focus on Trump's legislative agenda, there's a risk of missing the chilling and not insignificant steps he's taken at a ground level which is interfering with democracy, but also about how scientists and officials are able to go about their work. Public health should be no place for politics, but Trump is already starting to make it his propaganda tool.

Bestselling books and blockbuster movies are continually filled with the theme of heartache. That's because most of us have, at one point or another, known the terrible, sinking feeling that comes with losing someone we love.
Of course, online marketers can feel the same way when they see their best customers slipping away.
While you might not feel the same kind of depression over a missing account or decreased orders that you do when you lose a lover, either one can keep you up at night wondering what went wrong. And, believe it or not, there are some similarities, both in the way you are left and what you can do about it.
Here are some bad breakup tips you can use to fix your online marketing plan:
Don't expect your departed customer to tell you what went wrong. You can ask all you want, but once a customer is gone, they aren't likely to give you the real reasons they left, so it's going to be up to you to figure it out on your own.
The exception to this rule, of course, is when your company messed up badly enough that it's obvious to everyone why they took their business elsewhere. In those cases, learn from the experience, improve your customer service, and move on.
You can learn a lot from your customer's next partner. If you really want to know why someone isn't buying from you anymore, figure out who they are buying from now. What does that vendor offer that you don't?
Often, if you lose out on a big account, it isn't that difficult to find out where it went. Or, if you're noticing a trend of smaller orders dropping off, see if you can find out which of your competitors is benefiting the most. Either way, you'll learn something about what they are offering that you can't match.
Sometimes it really is about the simple things. Differences in price, a more competitive product, a cleaner online reputation, or even better site layouts and navigation structures can all be obvious reasons that a customer might stop responding to your online marketing efforts. The answers are usually simpler than we think, so look for the big explanations first.
Losing customers is tough, but the pain doesn't last forever. Follow these tips, find out why your online business isn't stacking up, and then use the knowledge to either win your buyers back or find new ones. And if you want even more powerful tools to bring in those new clients, or find the lost ones, Give us a call at Design Extensions. We'd love to hlep.

Over the last few months I've been pleased to be part of the advisory group for the Identification and Brief Advice (IBA) Network.
IBA is an evidence based, effective intervention to identify and intervene with individuals drinking at levels above recommended guidelines. I wanted to support the network in part because of our experience on the Street Talk project where we found that this sort of approach fitted well with young people who were already taking risks with their health.
The network isn't for drug and alcohol specialists rather it aims to support staff, practitioners and clinicians working in London to deliver what is quite a simple but effective approach to reducing harm. If you've had training in this area, or want to be more effective in how your organisation can support those at risk then the network could be a way of supporting you.
You can find out about the IBA network by clicking on this link. You will be able to find out about the aims and download the latest newsletters. The network provides support, information, advice, resources and updates on the most recent research in this area.
Membership is free and it's very easy to sign up. If you would like to join the network or come along to our next meeting on 20th June at Guildhall in London please email email@example.com

Therefore, in this article, we are going to discuss some of the highest paying IT jobs in India. Furthermore, we shall also learn about the shift in the HR industry, as we see a rise in the number of work from home HR jobs.
The IT Industry in India
No doubt, a career in IT has a huge scope for growth in India. Statistically, in 2013, IT was the fifth largest industry in the country. Overall, the IT industry provides direct and indirect employment to around 10 million people. Moreover, this number is growing rapidly. If you are planning to work in this industry, you should refer to our list of some of the highest paying IT jobs, currently in India.
Highest Paying IT Jobs in India
- Cloud computing- Cloud computing involves using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data. This mechanism is used in place of a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing has already revolutionized the IT industry, and experts predict it shall continue to do so. The highest paying IT jobs in this sector will be Cloud Engineers and Cloud/Azure Architects. Other job roles that will also pay well are DevOps Engineers and Azure/AWS Consultants. According to a survey conducted in 2018, the average salary for Cloud Engineers is Rs. 11,73,000.
- Mobile & Software development- With the rising need for new apps and software in the world, this category will also host some of the highest paying IT jobs in the coming months. The expected average salary of Web Developers is Rs. 8,50,000. And, for Automation Test Engineers, it is Rs. 5,25,000.
- Cyber Security- The necessity for cyber security is increasing day-by-day. Cyber attacks in India are rising and the availability of skilled professionals to stop them is very less. Businesses are becoming more dependent on IT for their operations. As a result, the job openings for Cyber Security Architects are going to be tremendous. Their average salary is estimated at Rs. 19,80,000. For Information Security Managers, it is Rs. 10,90,000. And for Security Auditors, the average salary would be Rs. 9,81,000.

The HR Industry
The HR of an office deals with the most valuable asset of a company - its employees! It is the job of the HR to help the employees understand and follow the goals and visions of the organization. An HR must be proficient in identifying and recruiting the right talent for the company. However, over time, the traditional roles of the HR have changed.
Work-From-Home HR Jobs
No longer is the HR required to sit in the office the whole day. Work-from-home HR jobs are gaining popularity gradually. Many companies now offer work-from-home HR jobs, where your responsibility is to find the right talent for the company and managing that. Take a look at some of the roles currently available for work-from-home HR jobs.
- HR Recruiter - Working as a recruiter from home requires you to stay connected with a lot of people. You will take interviews over the phone on behalf of the company you're finding employees for. If the candidate matches the company's requirements, you will forward the employee's details to the company.
- HR Administrator - As an HR Administrator, your job is to manage the incoming and exiting of employees from the company. You are also supposed to organize training if necessary and work on the company's employment policies.
- HR Rewards Planner - This job role requires you to specifically formulate the remuneration to be given to the employees of the company. You need to represent both side - the employer and the employee and work out a common ground.
The option of work-from-home HR jobs benefits the company and the employee. Not only will it improve the company-employee relationship, it also lowers costs, and offers employees a better work-life balance.

The precise opposite is true whenever using a cash advance lender because they only need to know that you have a task. More specifically, they need to know you have a paycheck arriving in that can be used to pay for them their interest and the principal amount that you might borrow.
After you have submitted your application, per day or more you need to have word of the approval. When they have sent you the money, or deposited it in your account, you will end up willing to pay all of your current immediate bills. Tight situations like this, specifically financial ones, do not have to become so hard. Provided that you know which company to get hold of to borrow money for a short moment of your time, it is possible to handle any financial things that come your way. That's why contacting Best Egg.com, or simply just gonna their website to submit the application, might be exactly what you must do.

Asbestos has been known for its fire-retardant properties and its harmful health effects for thousands of years
Asbestos has been in the news a lot recently as workers exposed decades ago to this hazardous material battle with cancer and pursue multi-million dollar settlements against their former employers. Though we may tend to think of asbestos exposure as a modern phenomenon, in reality asbestos has been sickening people for thousands of years.
Ancient Asbestos Use
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral found on every continent in the world, so it's not particularly surprising that many ancient cultures discovered and used it. The earliest known use of asbestos fibers was for lamp and candle wicks in around 4,000 BC. Asbestos fibers were also found in Finnish pottery from 2,500 BC, and Greek and Roman writers described fire-resistant cloth made from woven asbestos fibers.
Asbestos cloth continued to be made and used throughout Europe, Russia, and China throughout the Middle Ages and into the 18th century. It was mined by hand by men and then spun into threads by women and children. Clothing containing asbestos was common and at one point Italy's banknotes even contained asbestos. Asbestos use really began to take off with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution which brought improved mining techniques as well as new applications for asbestos. The chemical-, water-, electricity-, and fire-resistant material made an excellent insulator for steam engines, generators, wiring, and other new technologies of the period. Asbestos was soon a common component in the building materials used in homes and businesses, and remained extremely popular until the late 1970s when the EPA took steps to ban its use and the public finally began to realize the dangers of asbestos.
Asbestos-Related Illness
In reality, the dangers of asbestos have been known since the very beginning. The Greeks noted that slaves who worked with asbestos developed a "sickness of the lungs" and Roman historian Pliny the Elder recorded the fact that miners were using a primitive sort of respirator made from a sheep's bladder in an attempt to protect themselves. In terms of modern medicine, the first illness known to be attributed to asbestos was diagnosed in 1897, and in 1898 a report described widespread lung damage among workers in an English asbestos mill. In 1906 a London physician recorded the first documented death of an asbestos worker. The man suffered from pulmonary failure and an autopsy revealed his lungs were filled with asbestos fibers. By 1908, insurance companies were increasing premiums and decreasing coverage for asbestos workers. Yet due to the high demand for asbestos-containing materials and the strength of the asbestos industry, little was done with this knowledge for decades.
Modern Day
Today of course the dangers of asbestos are fully known and we have robust safety protocols for working with and disposing of asbestos-containing materials. If you are concerned about asbestos contamination on your property, AQHI Inc. can provide comprehensive asbestos remediation services to remove the asbestos fibers and leave the site clean and compliant with all relevant asbestos regulations.

Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery
What is GLAUCOMA?
What keeps the eye inflated is fluid under pressure continually produced inside the eye. At the same time this fluid drains out of the eye through barriers and collector channels into veins surrounding the eye ball. In glaucoma, the flow of fluid through this system becomes obstructed and the pressure start to rise inside the eye. This pressure rise will eventually cause damage to certain sensitive structures within the eye leading to loss of field of vision and eventual blindness if left untreated.
What is the treatment for Glaucoma?
Eye drops are the standard treatment of glaucoma that will reduce eye pressure by either reducing fluid production or improving the flow of fluid out of the eye. There are times when the eye drops stop producing the desired effects either through the deterioration of glaucoma, too many side effects or poor compliance with the drops regimen. In such cases some other form of treatment may be required. The next options for treatment are either Laser or Surgery. Laser may not be suitable for all eyes and usually the effects are short lived. Surgery is usually more effective. Traditional surgical techniques are highly invasive and the risks involved are very high. New Microinvasive techniques have evolved to minimise the surgical trauma and complications.
Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
A group of relatively new surgical techniques that utilizes devices and stents to produce microshunts for eye fluid to drain through. The XEN Gel Stent is one such device that is suitable for mild to moderate cases of glaucoma.
What is XEN Gel Stent?
Is a soft collagen polymer shaped into a tube and inserted into the eye to shunt the fluid from inside the eye to the outer coats of the eye, bypassing the blockage of fluid flow. The tube is made of collagen derived gelatine that is crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. This material has been used extensively for other medical purposes. It is well tolerated by the human body and is non-inflammatory. The cylindrical implant is 6 mm long and has an inner lumen of 45 µm. The tube is rigid when dry outside the body. Once inserted in situ, it quickly hydrates and turns into a gel conforming to the surrounding eye tissue. This is particularly important for minimal distortion to the eye, erosion of surrounding tissue and gives it stability from extrusion. This device bypasses the natural drainage pathway and hence suitable for many kinds of glaucoma.
Insertion of the XEN Gel Stent
The procedure is quick, takes only 15—20 minutes and it gives rapid results. It is inserted through a tiny self-sealing incision using a simple preloaded injector and hence minimal trauma to the eye. The procedure is done under eye drops as day surgery & the recovery is very rapid with vision returning to normality within a week.
What are the advantages of the XEN Gel Stent?
- Produces significant and sustained reduction in eye pressure.
- Suitable for most kinds of glaucoma
- Minimally invasive.
- Relatively rapid procedure
- The soft gel minimises complications
- Rapid recovery
- Low risk of infection and complication

Название: Materials in Energy Conversion, Harvesting, and Storage
Автор: Kathy Lu
Издательство: John Wiley & Sons Limited
Жанр: Техническая литература
isbn: 9781118892350
isbn: 0
First authored book to address materials' role in the quest for the next generation of energy materials Energy balance, efficiency, sustainability, and so on, are some of many facets of energy challenges covered in current research. However, there has not been a monograph that directly covers a spectrum of materials issues in the context of energy conversion, harvesting and storage. Addressing one of the most pressing problems of our time, Materials in Energy Conversion, Harvesting, and Storage illuminates the roles and performance requirements of materials in energy and demonstrates why energy materials are as critical and far-reaching as energy itself. Each chapter starts out by explaining the role of a specific energy process in today's energy landscape, followed by explanation of the fundamental energy conversion, harvesting, and storage processes. Well-researched and coherently written, Materials in Energy Conversion, Harvesting, and Storage covers: The availability, accessibility, and affordability of different energy sources Energy production processes involving material uses and performance requirements in fossil, nuclear, solar, bio, wind, hydrothermal, geothermal, and ocean energy systems Issues of materials science in energy conversion systems Issues of energy harvesting and storage (including hydrogen storage) and materials needs Throughout the book, illustrations and images clarify and simplify core concepts, techniques, and processes. References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to the primary literature in the field. All chapters are self-contained units, enabling instructors to easily adapt this book for coursework. This book is suitable for students and professors in science and engineering who look to obtain comprehensive understanding of different energy processes and materials issues. In setting forth the latest advances and new frontiers of research, experienced materials researchers and engineers can utilize it as a comprehensive energy material reference book.
