Extending the property investment options for Dominica's world-leading Citizenship by Investment Programme to eight, the nation's Government approves brand-new real estate development, Timbo's Downtown, a boutique resort that's anticipated to become a hotspot for business lodgings and luxury leisure in Dominica.
The approval of this new real estate development option, Timbo's Downtown, under Dominica's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme by the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica brings the total number of properties that foreigners can invest in as part of its CBI Programme to eight.
The second property to be developed under the chic Timbo brand on the island, Timbo's Downtown – Timbo's Seaside is a luxury boutique hotel in the city of Roseau that is set to become a contemporary and luxury destination for both business and leisure. It follows its sister hotel, Timbo's Apartello, which offers six executive suites that operated at an occupancy rate of 90% until Covid.
Investors are required to invest a minimum of US200,000 in Timbo's Downtown in order to secure citizenship for themselves and their family.
Timbo's Downtown joins seven other CBI investable properties including renowned brands from Marriott, Hilton and Kempinski, as well as other unique boutique resorts like the award-winning Secret Bay and Eco Villas Jungle Bay.
Dominica's real estate sector has been pivotal to bolstering eco-tourism on the island, attracting investors and holidaymakers alike, with many of the investment properties on offer eco-friendly and ensconced in nature.
Among these is the five-star Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski Dominica. Located along the picturesque white sand beach on Douglas Bay and surrounded by Cabrits National Park, this eco-friendly resort, which has been designed to be at one with nature, recently secured an award as the Best New MICE Hotel 2020 in the inaugural World MICE Awards.
Then there's the five-star, eco-sensitive Tranquility Beach Resort, part of the Hilton Curio Collection. With its cliff-handing villas, secret beaches and wellness centre, this 73-villa resort is under construction and scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2022.
And let's not forget the award-winning resorts of Secret Bay and Jungle Bay. The eco-luxury Jungle Bay Resort boasts 40 completed eco villas and 60 more in development (phase 2 and set to be completed by the start of 2021), with the Sea View Villa priced at US$255,000, the minimum investment threshold under Dominica's CIP. Finally, the six-star all-villa Secret Bay resort, recently named the Number One Resort in the Caribbean and Number Six Resort in the World by Travel + Leisure's 2020 World's Best Awards, offers villas priced between US$1.5 million and US$4 million across four phases of development with two phases yet set to complete. It delivers a dramatic setting overlooking the Caribbean sea, two secluded and swimmable beaches and private villas with plunge pools.
As much of the world continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic, Caribbean real estate has seen a surge in interest, particularly from Americans investors hoping to secure a Plan B should one be needed.
"Dominica has such a diverse real estate offering ranging from internationally branded hotels and eco-resorts," says Paul Singh, Director at CS Global Partners, adding that "Timbo's Downtown is a fantastic addition to a great array of real estate in Dominica".
Paul adds that "with easy access to USA and the surge in demand for ecotourism", this investment option in Dominica "makes ideal investment and asset diversification for Americans".
Investors who choose the property investment route can also expect a return on their investment as they are permitted to sell the property after holding it for the required number of years.

Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Programme
Introduced in 1993, Ranked the world's best CBI Programme for the fourth consecutive year, according to the latest CBI Index 2020, Dominica's longstanding Citizenship by Investment programme, at 27 years old, is widely considered to be one of the world's most efficient and transparent CIPs, combining extensive due diligence with efficiency, speed, affordability and reliability.
Offering rapid relocation, with just 45-60 days application processing times, and the cheapest CBI cost at US$100,000 (along with Saint Lucia and Antigua & Barbuda), Dominica's CBI programme is not just competitive, it's winning.
Recently, Dominica extended its 'dependent' clause in its CBI Programme to include a wider range of family members, including grandparents and adopted siblings. Dominica furthermore reduced the qualifying fund contribution for a family of four from US$200,000 to US$175,000, comprising the main applicant, their spouse and two dependants other than a sibling.
A Dominican passport gives citizens visa-free access to 141 countries, slightly less than other Caribbean countries, though Dominica has seen the greatest increase in visa-free offerings since 2019 compared to the other CBI countries, and is set to add China to its list. And, as per the just-released Henley & Partners Passport Index 2020 for Q4, Dominica has moved up two places in the passport power ranks from its position in Q1, to 33rd in the world.

Synopsis : Tuberculosis or TB still remains a global pandemic One third the human population is currently infected with tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis can affect any part of the body but usually infects the lungs. Despite advances in treatments available, tuberculosis (TB) still remains a global pandemic. One third the human population is currently infected with tuberculosis.
The disease tuberculosis is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can affect any part of the body but usually infects the lungs. Tuberculosis is spread through airborne droplets occurring when an infected individual sneezes, talks, or coughs. However, prolonged exposure to the infected individual must occur before you may become infected. The body may harbor the bacteria while the immune system prevents sickness. For this reason, there are two forms of TB: latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis.
With latent tuberculosis, the immune system is able to prevent the bacteria from growing. The tuberculosis bacteria remain alive within the body but are inactive at this time. However, the bacteria can become active later in life. Those with latent tuberculosis have no symptoms, do not feel sick, are not contagious, and may develop TB later in life if they do not receive treatment.
Active tuberculosis simply means that the tuberculosis bacteria are growing within the body causing an active infection. Signs and symptoms of active tuberculosis include fatigue, slight fever, chills, night sweats, loss of appetite, unintended weight loss, a cough that lasts three or more weeks producing discolored or bloody sputum, and pain with coughing or breathing. Active tuberculosis is highly contagious.
What is causing the tuberculosis pandemic?
Improved public health programs have helped to create a steady decline of tuberculosis cases in the United States. However, the problem is far from solved. Factors that contribute to the spread of tuberculosis in the U.S. and elsewhere include the increase in number of foreign born nationals, crowded living conditions, increase in drug resistant strains of tuberculosis, lack of access to medical care, and the increase in poverty.
Poorly ventilated and crowded conditions help to spread TB. This is one reason tuberculosis cases have reached epidemic proportions. Although the incidence of TB cases in the U.S. is declining, the incidence in other parts of the world is increasing. Half of the reported cases in the U.S. (in 2000) occurred in individuals that were born outside of the U.S. Individuals that live in poverty, move or migrate often usually do not finish the tuberculosis treatment. This is leading to drug resistant forms of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis bacteria have developed strains of the bacteria that are resistant to each of the major tuberculosis medications. There are also strains of tuberculosis that are resistant to at least two tuberculosis medications. This multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is posing an even deadlier threat to those affected. Individuals affected with MDR-TB are much more difficult to treat requiring a long term therapy of up to two years. The medications required to treat these strains can cause serious side effects. This is one great reason to complete the entire course of medication as prescribed by your doctor.
An individual in an immunocompromised state is at risk of developing TB. A number of factors can cause the immune system to be in a weakened state. Some diseases can suppress the immunity such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and silicosis. Certain medications can affect the body's immune system which includes chemotherapy drugs and corticosteroids. An increased risk of reactivated tuberculosis has been associated with the use of arthritis medications Enbrel and Remicade.
The older adult is at an increased risk of developing tuberculosis due to a weakened immune system. Individuals who are malnourished, lack adequate medical care, or who suffer from long term drug or alcohol abuse are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis. Health care workers are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis also.
If you develop any of the signs or symptoms listed above, you should seek medical advice. Individuals with HIV and Aids should be tested for tuberculosis, since the leading cause of death in the AIDS patient is tuberculosis. HIV and tuberculosis have a deadly symbiosis, in which TB increases the rate at which the AIDS virus replicates and HIV reactivates inactive TB. Health care workers are usually tested at least yearly for tuberculosis by Mantoux test. Individuals with latent tuberculosis reveal a positive Mantoux even though no symptoms of the disease are evident. Tuberculosis is also tested by chest x-ray and culture tests (urine, sputum).
There are a few measures one can take to protect their health. First, you should be tested regularly. If you have an immune suppressing disease, live or work in a prison or nursing home, were born in a TB prevalent country, or have other risk factors, then a Mantoux test should be done every six months.
If you test positive without symptoms, speak with your doctor about treatments to reduce the risk of developing active tuberculosis. The most important step you can do for the public and yourself is to finish the entire course of medication. Treatment that is stopped to early allows the bacteria a chance to mutate to a drug resistant form.

Sustained Release Drugs vs. Controlled Release Drugs: What's the Difference?
Oakwood Labs has over twenty years of experience developing and manufacturing sustained release and targeted release injectable drugs. When it comes to our microsphere technology, we are a leading manufacturer for sustained release and controlled release pharmaceuticals.
Although these technologies are similar, there are some differences between controlled release and sustained release technologies. Learn more about controlled release vs. sustained release drugs below.
What Is Sustained Release Technology?
Sustained release technology is characterized by the slow releasing of a specific substance at a programmed rate to deliver the drug for a prolonged period of time. This type of technology is used for drugs that are metabolized too quickly and are eliminated from the body shortly after administration.
What Is Controlled Release Technology?
Controlled release technology is characterized by releasing drugs according to a predictable and rational programed rate to achieve the optimal serum-drug concentration. This dosage form enhances the safety, efficacy, reliability, and convenience of drug therapy.
Although this is a slow releasing system, unlike sustained release, this process is designed to produce predictable, constant concentrations of the drug. For this approach, the concentration of the active ingredient in the target tissue is controlled, not just the release of the drug.
Controlled Release vs. Sustained Release Technology
Even though controlled release technology and sustained release technology are very similar, there are some distinctions to note between the two.
The key differences between controlled release and sustained release include:
Sustained release is a slow release of medication over a period of time, whereas control release releases medication over time in correlation with concentration.
Sustained release medication is offered solely by way of oral dosage, while controlled release can be via oral, transdermal administration, or other means.
Sustained release technology is first-order kinetic and controlled release technology is zero-order kinetic.
Advantages to Controlled Release and Sustained Release Technology
Controlled and sustained release can both be very beneficial. Some of these benefits include:
The frequency of drug administration is reduced
Patient compliance is improved, and drug administration is more convenient
There is better control of drug absorption and the total amount of a drug administered can be reduced
Side effects can be reduced
There is a minimization of fluctuations in plasma level
Also, controlled release and sustained release technology can be very effective as dosage forms. Oakwood Labs is a global leader in sustained release drug delivery and works to provide reliable and high-quality pharmaceuticals.

why would anyone pay money for this?
That's $0.0015 each. How do I pay for just one code?
Trying to dump the codes before Ultraviolet shuts down?
I thought that their message about shutting down was from some furry website, judging by their email address.


NOTE: In the 2015 BJCP Style Guidelines, Schwarzbier is reclassified as Style 8B in Category 8 Dark European Lager which contains German vollbier lagers darker than amber-brown color.
Schwarzbier is one of my favorite styles to drink. Its name means "black beer" in German. This beer has wonderfully mild, almost bittersweet notes of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla.
It is a German lager with a malty middle, an aromatic sweetness and roasty notes balanced with nice noble hop bitterness and flavor. This style is sometimes called a "Schwarzpils" because it is very clean and elegant. But unlike a blond pils, the bitterness and hop flavors are subdued and soft. These beers are basically darker versions of the Dunkel. The style originated in southern and southeastern Germany.
The name, "black beer" may scare many homebrewers away. Once I tried a few commercial examples and a good homebrewed one, I had to brew this beer for myself. Jamil's recipe in the book Brewing Classic Styles is a fine example and to date, my favorite beer. It just amazes me that a beer so dark can be so elegant yet be packed with so much flavor. If you haven't brewed this beer yet, I highly recommend you do.
This tyle is the darkest and usually the most roasty beer in the dark lager category. It is a very elegant beer that may surprise many people who think all dark beers must taste like stouts.
To brew this beer, find a recipe which strikes a balance between the malt, roast and bitterness.
Use debittered roasted malts to achieve the dark color without adding too much burnt acrid character.
The hop bitterness should be a bit bigger than in the other styles in this category, but should still be in balance with the malt. Use only noble hops for this beer.
Make sure to allow this beer to ferment completely so the sweetness is not cloying and watch the fermentation temperatures so the yeast do not produce any fruity notes. If you start the fermentation high and then lower it to the typical lager temperatures, be sure you give an adequate amount of time at an elevated temperature at the end to allow the yeast to clean up all notes of diacetyl.
I have won quite a few awards with Jamil's recipe. If it is your first attempt at brewing one, try to brew Jamil's recipe and adjust based on critiques from the judges if you enter it into a competition. If you don't enter it, then enjoy the beer by itself or with hearty and spicy foods including barbecue, sausages and roasted meat. These beers make a great winter beer, try it and see for yourself.

Every child is hard-wired to mimic their parents (or caregivers) from the day they are born. It's how they learn. What is more interesting is that in addition to imitating everything around them, children also mimic the breathing patterns of their caregivers. Why this isn't taken advantage of more is a mystery but once you start to use these unusual parenting techniques, you won't use any other.
Some nights your little one just won't go to sleep. Instead of staying up all night trying every type of rocking motion, lullaby or the old school method your mother told you about, lay in bed with your child. Deep breathe slowly in and out for about five minutes. Eventually, she won't be able to help but copy your deep breathing as well, and that will put your baby right to sleep.
Tantrums no longer have to be a nightmare. Get as close as possible to your toddler, talk slowly to them and breathe deeply, nice and slow. Pretty soon your child will be calm. Tantrum over.
There will be days where your child is over stimulated or just can't calm down. Talk to them in a slow manner while you are deep breathing. Even the older children will mimic your breathing. Soon they will get out of that frustrated, over excited stage and calm right down.
We've all been there. It's the end of the day, we're tired, the kids are wired and we instinctively yell at them to calm down. When that happens our blood pressure rises, our breathing gets rapid and the kids see that. They react in the same way so it's important to be mindful of our actions and of our breathing to keep the calm in order.
I love finding interesting tips and tricks on Quora and that is where I found this unusual parenting techniques too. See, it's all about the breathing. These unusual parenting techniques won't work for everyone, but who knows, maybe you will discover that they work for your kids! Try them!
Great tips! I have to say that kids are calmer when you are and though it is not always easy – it works!
Great tips, I have 6 year old and 3 year old is there you can imagine the situation in my home.
I'll have to try this. My older son does yoga at daycare and so he's already aware of the breathing exercises and I'd only have to expand on it.
Found your post on the Snickerdoodle SUnday link up! Great tips. Thanks for sharing!
Everyone talks about the toddler tantrums. I definitely find that if I get down to my daughter's level…below her eye line, and talk calmy to her, it doesnt take too long for her to settle.
With my two year old, when tantrums strike, we take a few deep breaths together. Then she is able to tell me what the problem is, and we can solve it. It has been a sanity saver for sure! Great post.
sharing with my audience because who doesn't want to help their baby fall asleep?
I'm going to try these methods and see how they work. I like trying new techniques.
These are great tips. I wish I'd known them when my kids were younger. I don't think they still copy you at 17! Stopping by my Favorite Things Saturday.
Great tips! Getting kids to calm down is always key. Thank you for sharing this at the #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup!
These are great tips! I'll definitely be trying these out!!


Eyes are a lot more amazing and complex than you'd think.
We all know that maintaining eye health is important, and that there are a number of different parts that make up the eye. There are a lot of interesting facts most people don't know about eyes.
The more melanin in your iris, the darker your eye color will be. Melanin is a dark brown pigment, which also determines the color of your skin and hair.
There's far less melanin in the irises of individuals with blue eyes, which allows a substance called collagen to show through.
There are two types of cells located in the retina of our eye. These cells are known as rods and cones.
There are over 100 million light-sensitive rods in our eyes that are unable to recognize colors, but help us see better in the dark. The other seven million cells are cones, which enable us to see colors and details.
The average person blinks 17 times a minute, which is over five million times throughout the year. The amount of times you actually blink depends on what you're doing.
For instance, if you're talking to someone, you tend to blink more often. Or, you're likely to blink less while reading, which is why your eyes often feel tired and dry after reading.
It's often believed that 20/20 vision amounts to perfect eyesight. However, 20/20 is an American term used for visual acuity measurements.
According to opticians, 20/20 vision is what a person should normally be able to see when reading an eye exam chart from a distance of 20 feet.
Each of your eyes has a small blind spot in the back of the retina where the optic nerve is attached. However, your eyes work together to fill in each other's blind spot, so you don't notice the hole in your vision.
All in all, there's a lot more to the human eye than most people realize.


During his first day of testimony the Crown took Perrin through early PMO discussions around Duffy's contentious Senate expenses.
A UBC law professor who was the former lawyer for the Prime Minister's Office says he was taken aback when Stephen Harper insisted that owning $4,000 worth of property in a province was enough to qualify a person to represent it in the Senate.
Benjamin Perrin began his testimony Thursday at Mike Duffy's fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial, where the Crown took him through early PMO discussions around Duffy's contentious Senate expenses.
The entire Duffy controversy was sparked in late 2012 when reporters and legal experts began questioning both Duffy's housing allowance claims, and his eligibility to sit in the Senate for Prince Edward Island. He had lived and worked in Ottawa for decades before Harper made him a senator.
Perrin says he was asked to study the question of a person's qualifications for representing a province in the Senate.
He said the PMO was interested in protecting Conservative senators from such questions.
Benjamin Perrin says story about involvement in Duffy money transfer deal was "false"


Although I love purple I am also really fond of turquoise and pink, my craft room is in these colours and I love how they look together.I realised when I was sorting out photos for this post that both my recent makes are in the same colours.
I have been very productive on the doctorate front with about 10,000 words written this week and I am aiming for a few more before I leave for Poland on Monday. I will then have three weeks not thinking about it at all which will be brilliant. Much as I am enjoying doing it I am spending a lot of time staring at the screen and am really looking forward to reading books and going for walks when in Spain, and of course seeing Krakow which looks stunning!
I finished this little basket as a birthday present for a friend's not so little girl last weekend, she is 11 this year and I was really pleased to be able to get some matching nail polish and toe separators as I know that she loves painting her nails.This is the smallest version of the Friends of the One Hour basket pattern and is available via a link from this blog for just £4. I have made this pattern so many times now it is so versatile and I love it.
I have also finished another outfit for Barbie, well nearly, the dress is still pinned together and needs the Velcro adding but that will be done before I take it to Spain as a gift for one of my cousin's daughters.
I used the leftover shirt fabric as before with some other scraps and the coat pattern comes from my old pattern book that I mentioned in my original Barbie clothes post.
The coat is a little big but I think it looks very snug and the yarn is lovely and soft. I have a turquoise shrug to go with the outfit as well and another few dresses in progress to go with a pink version of the coat as well.
Although I haven't started on the WW2 make do and mend outfit I have had a charity shop bargain haul and came home with a jacket, two shirts, some trousers and a hat all for £5 which I was very pleased with. I also bought a bag and a pair of sandals for Spain for £1 each. This is an RSPCA clearance shop where everything is £1 but I don't often go there as it is out of town but was in the area and was really pleased to get all of that.
I am off to Sarah's now as she is having a wool de-stash, I am going to be good and not try and buy anything but am just going for a bit of a catch up, there may be wine involved!
I will be back in three weeks, take care, have fun and thanks for visiting.
Have fun! And if you find the pattern for the extra day per week, do please share it!

Q: iOS - app works on device but not on simulator (anymore) I know already that there are topics like that, but nothing helped in my case ...
Here the info:
The app worked both on simulator and device the whole time.
I renamed the project recently into another name. Still worked both fine.
Today I realized that it didn't change the folder name and then it couldn't run anymore because it had somewhere the location saved from before. Then I gave the folder the old name again and it could build and run it on the device again. But weirdly enough it doesn't run on the simulator anymore.
Funny thing is also that it said that the profiles were expiring, which weren't even related to that project so I deleted them. No errors, nothing. It just builds and directly finishes on the simulator.
The app is build for iOS6 and doesn't support earlier versions. So it can't be the armv6 armv7 architecture problem ...
What I also tried is the following: I zip every bigger version change and save it on an external HD (in case anything dies) and also have it uploaded at bitbucket. I reset my project to those old working versions and it neither ran on the Simulator.
Thanks in advance for further tips!

A: I guess the problem should be in your simulator but not necessarily in your app. Please have a try to:

*

*reset the simulator and retry

*if it still doesn't work, remove the app on simulator and re-install it via Xcode debugging

Q: How fill color with xlslib Xlslib provides 2 methods for changing the background color of a cell:
void fillbgcolor(color_name_t color);
void fillbgcolor(unsigned8_t color);

But how can I use a custom color (for example #EFEFEF)?

A: I do not know the exact definition for color_name_t or unsigned8_t but I guess these are typedefs of some integer type. If this is the case, you can use hexadecimal integer representation to write the color code in your desired format.
EDIT: You write hexadecimal values with the 0x prefix, eg: 0xEFEFEF.
EDIT2: extended example
fillbgcolor(0xEFEFEF);

A: You can set custom color using hex value and following method to convert hex color value into RGB value and passing it into setupNewColors of DHWorkBook and you have to use DHxlsIOS SDK for that. For this, I created one general method in which i am passing object of DHWorkBook, DHCell, colourID and hex colorstring e.g EFEFEF, CACACA. You can pass any number between 9 to 63 as Color id which id for color which you can check in "color.h" file. And then you need set RGB color using setupNewColors and fill into cell using  fillBGcolorUnsigned of DHCell which i created to pass unsigned8_t color object.
-(void)customColor:(DHWorkBook *)workbook cell:(DHCell *)cell customColorId:(unsigned int)customColorId hexString:(NSString *)hexString
{
unsigned int components[3];
[self rgbFromHexString:hexString
                   rgb:components];
[workbook setupNewColors:customColorId
                     red:components[0]
                   green:components[1]
                    blue:components[2]];

I use below method another method to get RGB value from hex string. You need not use prefix like '#' or '0X' because they are already truncated in this method for converting into RGB.
-(void)rgbFromHexString:(NSString*)hex rgb:(unsigned int [3])components // New
{
NSString *cString = [[hex stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]] uppercaseString];

// String should be 6 or 8 characters
if ([cString length] < 6)
{
    // Gray color
    components[0] = 128; // r
    components[1] = 128; // g
    components[2] = 128; // b
}

// Truncate 0X if it appears
if ([cString hasPrefix:@"0X"]) cString = [cString substringFromIndex:2];
if ([cString hasPrefix:@"#"]) cString = [cString substringFromIndex:1];

if ([cString length] != 6)
{
    // Gray color
    components[0] = 128; // r
    components[1] = 128; // g
    components[2] = 128; // b
}

// Separate into r, g, b substrings
NSRange range;
range.location = 0;
range.length = 2;
NSString *rString = [cString substringWithRange:range];

range.location = 2;
NSString *gString = [cString substringWithRange:range];

range.location = 4;
NSString *bString = [cString substringWithRange:range];

// Scan values
unsigned int r = 0, g = 0, b = 0;

[[NSScanner scannerWithString:rString] scanHexInt:&r];
[[NSScanner scannerWithString:gString] scanHexInt:&g];
[[NSScanner scannerWithString:bString] scanHexInt:&b];

components[0] = r;
components[1] = g;
components[2] = b;
NSLog(@"r - %u g - %u b - %u",components[0],components[1],components[2]);
}

I also created two custom methods in DHCell & cell.cpp to pass unsigned8_t instead of color_name_t.
-(void)fillBGcolorUnsigned:(unsigned8_t)color
{
   CELL(aCell)->fillbgcolor(color);
}

void cell_t::fillbgcolor(unsigned8_t color)
{
xf_t * tempXF = xf_t::xfDup(pxf);

tempXF->SetFillBGColor(color);

pxf->UnMarkUsed();
pxf = m_GlobalRecords.findXF(tempXF);
pxf->MarkUsed();
}


Cute Red Panda triplets made their public debut at a zoo in Sydney. They are two males and one female, are called Rohan and Ishwar and their sister's name is Mishry.
They were born in December last year under a part of an international breeding programme. Its goal is to save these animals from extinction.
Difficult words: cute (beautiful and little), breed (to make animals have babies in a controlled and organised way), extinction (dying out).

4th Day of Christmas: Prehistoric settlement on a site in Surrey
Earlier this year, CA's Andover team revisited a Surrey site that had previously provided evidence for a later prehistoric settlement and a Romano-British cremation, and this time revealed the remains of an extensive settlement of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date (900–400 BC).
Possible horse burial during excavation
Evidence of this settlement included a number of postholes and pits clustered along the southern edge of the site, as well as a c.15m-diameter roundhouse and above-ground 'granaries', which would have been very similar to present-day small granaries that sit on 'staddle stones' (to protect stored food-grain from vermin). An assemblage of worked and burnt flint collected from the site included 'pot boilers' – big stones that were baked in or under a fire, and then used to heat liquids and foodstuffs.
As well as further Romano-British cremation burials, an inhumation (with evidence for shoes) and possibly a horse burial, we were excited to find the remains of five Romano-British bustum burials. British bustum burials are very rare and extremely special, being more common on the continent, and comprise a 'playing card'-shaped pit which had a funeral pyre built above it. As they burned, the ashes, bones and any artefacts would fall into the pit, which ultimately became the grave. The remains were then covered and probably marked in some way on the surface. One example contained five parallel carbonised timbers at the base of the funeral pyre, still in situ. Another pit contained stakeholes, and three others contained single examples of very large iron nails – all were probably used to try to stabilise the funeral pyre during combustion.
The bustum burials, the inhumation and possibly the horse burial represent Roman funerary and ritual activity on the site, indicating that there had been a Roman settlement in the immediate vicinity. However, no Roman settlement has been found close to the site, although poorly recorded 18th-century Roman finds from the area (including foundations, tiles, pavements, coins, pottery) may indicate the former presence of a villa or large farmstead nearby.

Glanford Brigg, Lincolnshire
In 1701, Christopher Benton bequeathed the Chantry House in Barton upon Humber as an almshouse for the poor. It was converted into a workhouse in 1749.
A parliamentary report of 1777 listed parish workhouses in operation at "Glamford Briggs" (for up to 10 inmates), Barton upon Humber—St Mary (20), and Kirton (15).
Glanford Brigg (also seen spelt as Glandford Brigg or Glandford Briggs) Poor Law Union was formed on 18th January 1837. Its operation was overseen by an elected Board of Guardians, 54 in number, representing its 50 constituent parishes as listed below (figures in brackets indicate numbers of Guardians if more than one):
County of Lincoln: Appleby, Ashby, Aulkborough, Barnet-by-le-Wold, Barrow, Barton [upon Humber] St Mary and St Peter (3), Bonby, Bottesford, Broughton, Burton-upon-Stather, Bromby, Burringham, Cadney-cum-Housham, Cleatham, Crosby, Croxton, East Butterwick, East Halton, Elsham, Flixborough, Frodingham, Glandford Brigg (2), Goxhill, Hibaldotow, Holm, Horkstow, Kirmington, Kirton-in-Lindsay (2), Manton, Melton Ross, Messingham, North Killingholme, Redbourn, Roxby with Risby, Saxby, Scawby with Sturton, Scunthorpe, South Ferraby, South Killingholme, Thornton Curtis, Twigmore, Ulceby, West Halton, Whitton, Winteringham, Winterton, Wootton, Worlaby, Wrawby, Yaddlethorpe.
The population falling within the Union at the 1831 census had been 26,189 — ranging from Twigmore (population 25) to Barton St Mary and St Peter (3,233) and Glanford Brigg itself (1,780). The average annual poor-rate expenditure for the period 1833-35 had been £10,513 or 8s.0d. per head.
The new workhouse was built in 1835 at the western side of Wrawby Road at the east of Glanford Brigg (normally known just as Brigg). The architect was William Adams Nicholson who was also responsible for the Lincoln workhouse. It was designed to accommodate 200 people and the Poor Law Commissioners authorized an expenditure of £5,600 for its construction. Its location and layout are shown on the 1907 map below.

The workhouse had a separate fever ward. In 1914-15, a new infirmary was erected at the east of the workhouse to designs by Mr Butterwick.

In 1870, Caroline Hall Empringham was appointed workhouse matron, a post she was to hold for the next 41 years. In 1878, Henry Gibson became master of the workhouse having previously served at Walsall (porter, 1875), Henley on Thames (master's assistant, 1876) and Fulham (assistant master, 1877). The year after his arrival, Henry married Caroline and together they ran the workhouse until 1911. Sadly, he died on 31st December of that year.
Prior to 1873, religious devotions at the workhouse were carried out in the dining-hall or school-room. In that year, a newly constructed chapel, funded by public donations, was opened at the north of the main workhouse building.
In 1930, the running of the site was taken over by the Public Assistance Committee of Lindsey County Council and became a Public Assistance Institution. In 1948, the infirmary building became Glanford Hospital, while the old workhouse building — now referred to as a 'hostel' — was renamed Crosslands. By 1981, Crosslands had been demolished and the Rosecroft care home erected on the site. Glanford Hospital closed in 1991 and the building has been converted to residential use.
Lincolnshire Archives, St. Rumbold Street, Lincoln LN2 5AB. Holdings include: Guardians' minute books (1920-1930); Register of inmates (1928-37); Births (1914-44); Boarding out (1912-30); etc.

Danielle DiFerdinando, the successful handbag maker responsible for the popular Danielle Nicole line, will appear Tuesday morning on The Price Is Right with host Drew Carey, she said Monday. The pair will present tic-tac-toe, and the winner will walk away with 52 handbags personally designed and selected by DiFerdinando.
The stash includes totes, satchels, crossbodys, clutches, and iPhone and iPad accessories.
DiFerdinando, who taped the segment in June, said that being at CBS Studios in Los Angeles was surreal.
"Watching the show as a child and into my teens, it was dreamlike being on the set of such an American classic TV show," said DeFerdinando, whose celebrity fans include Oprah, Rachel Zoe and Rachel Bilson. "Behind the scenes and being backstage was so fun. All the different Price Is Right games are housed at the studio, along with The Big Wheel, which I got to spin after taping."
DiFerdinando said she had a blast working backstage with the CBS crew. She also got a kick out of Carey and announcer George Gray practicing the pronunciation of her last name prior to the show.
"It was definitely entertaining," she said. "All the bright colors, lights and energy of the show really fueled me, it was so moving."
Watch Danielle DiFerdinando on The Price Is Right Tuesday at 11 a.m. on CBS.

What Writers and Artistes feel about Kashmir in Ten Tweets
What are writers and artistes tweeting about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir? What is their attitude to the people in this region?
Rahul Pandita, author and conflict writer from Kashmir, tweeted that "In all, a majority of Kashmiris have no idea what abrogation of article 370 means. Argue with them for a minute and one realises they are totally ignorant. All they know is 'India will now take away everything.' From our sources we know NSA(National Security Agency) is aware of it. Big challenge."
Mirza Waheed, Kashmiri writer and novelist who now lives in London, wrote, "August 11, 2019. Day 7 of Seige of Kashmir. We are not allowed to say Eid Mubarak to our families." But is it a seige or an attempt to integrate the state into the country?
Vikram Chandra, a commonwealth prize winning American Indian novelist, wrote, "In his Aug 8 speech, PM Narendra Modi did say it was for every Indian to share the concerns of the citizens of J&K. Best way to do that today is to reach out to Kashmiris in other parts of India, spending Eid away from home. Make them feel that they ARE at home."
Actress Shabana Azmi tweeted "Kashmiri Pandit Youth invite every Kashmiri who has been unable to travel home for Eid for a get together…"
Novelist and essayist Chetan Bhagat has taken a stand where he says, "August 5, 2019. Kashmir is finally free. Free to grow, free to make a future. #Article 370 goes. #OneCountryOneSystem." And also, "Article 370 never gave Kashmiris freedom. It only created selfish leaders who created a terror filled society and robbed Kashmiri youth of opportunity. It is finally time for it to go. Anyone objects, tell them loudly: One Country, One System."

Book Excerpt: Why I am a Hindu by Shashi Tharoor
…. When Buddhism sought to reform Hinduism, Hinduism turned around and sought to absorb it too, by including the Buddha as a reincarnation of Vishnu and his agnostic teachings as merely a nastika form of the mother faith. As a result Buddhism has hardly any strength or presence in the land of its birth, having been absorbed and overtaken by the religion it sought to challenge. Hinduism could well have tried the same with Christianity and Islam, too, had it been allowed to do so; but these faiths were not interested in being embraced by Hinduism, since they saw themselves as the revealed Truth rather than as one among multiple versions of truth.
Hinduism is also unusual in seeing God, Man and the universe as co-related. As the philosopher Raimon Panikkar has explained, in Hindu thought, God without Man is nothing, literally 'no-thing'; Man without God is just a 'thing', without meaning or larger purpose; and the universe without Man or God is 'any-thing', sheer unexisting chaos. In Panikkar's explanation, nothing separates Man from God; 'there is neither intermediary nor barrier between them'. So Hindu prayers mix the sacred with the profane: a Hindu can ask God for anything. Among the tens of thousands of sacred verses and hymns in the Hindu scriptures are a merchant's prayer for wealth, a bankrupt's plea to the divine to free him of debt, verses extolling the union of a man with a woman, and even the lament of a rueful (and luckless) gambler asking God to help him shake his addiction. Prayer and worship, for the Hindu, are thus not purely spiritual exercises: they enhance the quality of his life in the material world, in the here and now.
GANESH, MY ISHTA-DEVTA
Hindus are often asked, during certain ritual prayers, to imagine their ishta-devta, their personal God, or rather that way of imagining the abstraction of the Absolute in an anthropomorphic form that most appeals to them. I pick Ganesh, or Ganapathi, as we prefer to call him in the South, myself, not because I believe God looks like Him, but because of the myriad aspects of the godhead, the ones He represents appeal most to me.
Om maha Ganapathe namaha,
sarva vignoba shantaye,
Om Ganeshaya namaha…

Book Review: An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor
By Abhishek Sikhwal
I have been waiting for a book like An Era of Darkness for quite some time. While much has been written about the British empire and the brutality of colonization, none of those accounts came from an Indian perspective. African-Americans have been able to recount the horrors of slavery through books such as Inhuman Bondage and Many Thousands Gone, but Indians have only been served an ersatz history of the empire by apologists such as Niall Ferguson (Empire) and Lawrence James (The Rise and Fall of the British Empire). In reviewing this book, my slight bias, of which I'm forthcoming, arises squarely from the fact that there hasn't been anything similar that singularly deals with the Indian experience of colonization.
Tharoor's book, which took shape after his speech on the subject went viral last year, is an extensive examination of the economic and cultural damage wreaked upon India over the 200 years it was under British rule. In order to establish their dominion, the British dismantled the organic structure of the subcontinent which was always, as the historian Jon Wilson noted, "a society of little societies".
Tharoor rubbishes the argument that the British were better than the native kings they were supplanting by citing the good governance in kingdoms such as Travancore, Mysore and Oudh. Even the Moghuls, who ruled India for over three centuries, assimilated themselves into the region and the capital extracted under their empire never left the country. The British, however, kept themselves aloof from the customs of the indigenous people and systematically siphoned off the country's wealth to Britain. According to Tharoor, "By the early 1800s, India had been reduced from a land of artisans, traders, warriors and merchants, functioning in thriving and complex commercial networks, into an agrarian society of peasants and moneylenders".
While some think that the British should be thanked for introducing the railways, press and parliamentary system into India, Tharoor argues that these were only introduced in order to accelerate the purloin of the country's riches and to maintain control over the land. He also points out how India is still suffering under a system that was framed with Victorian values. Our bureaucracy, corruption and unfortunate laws pertaining to homosexuality and sedition can all be attributed to the archaic system set up by the British. Even the divide-and-rule policy initially used by the British to keep Indians quarrelling amongst themselves, created a gulf between communities that continues till today.

Excerpts: An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor
By the end of the nineteenth century, India was Britain's biggest source of revenue, the world's biggest purchaser of British exports and the source of highly paid employment for British civil servants and soldiers all at India's own expense. We literally paid for our own oppression.
Taxation remained onerous. Agricultural taxes amounted at a minimum to half the gross produce and often more, leaving the cultivator less food than he needed to support himself and his family; British estimates conceded that taxation was two or three times higher than it had ever been under non-British rule, and unarguably higher than in any other country in the world. Each of the British 'presidencies' remitted vast sums of 'savings' to England, as of course did English civil servants, merchants and soldiers employed in India. (After a mere twenty-four years of service, punctuated by and including four years of 'home leave' furloughs, the British civil servant was entitled to retire at home on a generous pension paid for by Indian taxpayers: Ramsay MacDonald estimated in the late 1920s that some 7,500 Englishmen were receiving some twenty million pounds annually from India as pension.)
While British revenues soared, the national debt of India multiplied exponentially. Half of India's revenues went out of India, mainly to England. Indian taxes paid not only for the British Indian Army in India, which was ostensibly maintaining India's security, but also for a wide variety of foreign colonial expeditions in furtherance of the greater glory of the British empire, from Burma to Mesopotamia. In 1922, for instance, 64 per cent of the total revenue of the Government of India was devoted to paying for British Indian troops despatched abroad. No other army in the world, as Durant observed at the time, consumed so large a proportion of public revenues.

Read what our guests say about their stay with us at South Fleetwood.
Just returned from our 3rd visit to South Fleetwood. We just love the cottage. We truly treasure every minute. If you are looking for a quite place to just unwind and relax look no further th e n South fleetwood. The nicest beach in the world is only a minute from your door. Kit and Collin are friendly helpfully and informative. This little oasis they have built is amazing.
Testimonial: What can we say about South Fleetwood when we were there early May 2014? It was a wonderful experience. The temperatures that week were low-mid 80s and perfect! It is a minute or two walk to the breathtaking white sandy beach. It's about a 5 minute walk to the shops in town and a 10 minute walk to the IGA. Every few days before it got warm we would walk to the store to get food and beverages. We didn't rent a car but didn't feel we needed to since we stayed close. Our focus was to relax and to simply have fun; mission accomplished. The morning walks on the beach overlooking the ocean is hard to describe; there is so much white sand and not a rock in sight, the water is so clear, the different colors of the water are breathtaking, and the sound of the waves hitting the beach is so relaxing. The SF Cottage was perfect for us. We describe the cottage as rustic, clean, private, and an ideal size. We were a few steps away from the pool. The grill definitely came in handy when we wanted to stay put. The Tiki bar was great for eating at and simply socializing with the South Fleetwood neighbors. Kit and Colin would pop in on occasion to make sure we had everything we needed, give suggestions on island activities, and set up taxi service when needed. Those two are so extremely nice and caring people. They made us feel safe....and we were. South Fleetwood is this small piece of paradise with green grass, palm trees, flowers, and PRIVACY amongst all the expensive cement-looking condos with many people. No question we are so happy we chose SF over any of the neighboring condos/hotels. Again, the privacy at SF is unique compared to the other nearby places.
Dining out was a lot of fun. One evening we ate on the beach and then danced into the night. Another evening we sat at Hemingway' drinking wine and eating appetizers while watching the sun set. Our favorite restaurant was Coco Bistro! The place was so comfortable, romantic, and the food came out in a beautiful presentation and tasted divine. No question we will be going there a few times on our next visit to TCI!
We are already planning our next trip to SF and we cannot wait to get there! We will see you soon Kit and Colin!
I'm American and my girlfriend is Irish, we don't get to see each other but a few times a year so I surprised her with a 7 day trip to Turks and Caicos for July 4th 2011. Upon arrival at this beautiful property, Kit was waiting with a huge smile on her face and a very sweet welcome bottle of champagne on ice ready for us. The villa is very cute, It was a fantastic place to stay - quiet, private, relaxing, beautiful deck to relax on, high vaulted ceilings a nice big bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything that we could have needed except food, for that we drove to IGa Supermarket. The prices are major expensive but what do you expect on a tiny island. It was a plus to be able to walk to most beautiful Grace Bay beach! This property is very private, it almost feels like you have it all to yourself. We will never visit and stay at another property.
The property was so cute, little smiley faces on the palm trees and lizards running around at your feet, really tall palm tree above your head. I rarely ran into the other guests on the property but when I did we had great chats. Kit and Colin were there for us at every moment and gave us so much great advice on where to eat and places to visit in our car.
We rented a car at the airport because we read that to make the most of your time its best to get one. So glad we got a rental car, we were zooming around the island all day and got to see every inch it had to offer. I do recommend taking a day trip to Sappidillo Beach - We found all directions were wrong from the magazines etc ...Take the first dirt road left after the police station and you will find it.
My wife and I stayed in the "Cottage" for eight nights in early July. For perspective's sake, we travel quite a bit and usually stay at Marriott resorts, and since we have status, usually get upgraded to better rooms or suites. I've got to say, that South Fleetwood significantly exceeded our expectations and turned out to be one of the most relaxing and "easy" vacations we've been blessed to be able to take. Colin and Kit have put their heart and souls into South Fleetwood and it shows. Everything is comfortable, thought out for a good experience for their guests and just very gracious. Kit was away while we were there so we only had the chance to meet Colin and get to know him a bit and thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with him. What to know if you are considering renting at South Fleetwood? First of all, yes, do it. It's all about expectations. If you are looking for a "corporate" feel - then don't, but if you want comfy, room to roam (on the property as opposed to a room in a hotel) and convenience, then this is the place for you, imho. The beach is a short walk away - 1 or 2 minutes? The beach is nice right out front, we tended to wander to the left (when facing the ocean - so West) and hung out more at the beach in front of "Beaches" resort. There are two public access huts for free to use that we preferred instead of the beach umbrellas that are provided by Colin. But that's just us. We had a car but we like to explore, and since we mostly cooked out at South Fleetwood it was nice to be able to run over to the Grace Gourmet food store (more like a nice US supermarket than a "gourmet" store) whenever we wanted. If this is your first time to Provo (Providenciales) as it was for us, then it might be nice to note that Grace Bay Beach is really all that - soft white sand, clear, beautiful blue water and very undeveloped. The island itself is more scrubish than mountainish so if you are looking for vistas you can do better on other Caribbean islands. Good to decent snorkeling on the island, search the web and you'll find tons of sites and specific details. Great place, great host, great and relaxing time...and I thought, a good value as well. Enjoy!
May, 2014 ~ My daughter and I spent 5 days in this wonderful villa. It is so peaceful and a perfect walk to the beach. Kit and Collin are so nice and helpful. I would love to return one day. Thank you so much for having us! North Carolina.

Testimonial: Our first visit to "Provo" and we picked the best accommodation to holiday at. 1 min walk to the beach (where you could walk miles), close to restaurants, groceries, pharmacy, and rentals. The landscaping, pool, hammock, bbq, and rental suites were the home away from home that we look for. Colin & Kit always the most gracious hosts, making sure everything is good, or just stopping to visit. It is truly a jewel in paradise!
Testimonial: My wife and I spent our one year anniversary, and her birthday, at Kit Colin's one-of-a-kind cottage. It could not have been any better! It is a beautiful property,and the beach is literally less than one minute from your door. Turks and Caicos will be the place we compare every other vacation to. It was phenomenal. Staying at South Fleetwood really made this trip that much more enjoyable!
July, 2013 - Amazing honeymoon in a lush environment!
I'm so glad my new hubby and I decided to pick this place over some generic fancy hotel! We made the right choice! Our cute little villa was the perfect size for the two of us, and was a short walk from the beautiful beach at Grace Bay! Kit and Colin were very friendly and welcoming, treating us more like family than guests. I truly enjoyed chatting with both of them about their lives and this paradise they built entirely themselves! Not only did we have a relaxing and wonderful stay, but we got to take in some culture as well. What a refreshing way to start our lives! We were just a short walk from entertainment and food, and when we wanted to do something more lowkey, we chilled in the hammock by the pool. I spent a good amount of time wandering around the grounds looking at the fruit trees and many different flowers that we do not have at home. Kit was kind enough to allow me to talk her ear off about all of her plants and trees, hehe. The landscaping reminded me of something you would see in those paradise retreats in the movies! We chilled, wandered around, walked many miles up and down the beach, ate good food (Don't miss out on Somewhere Bar) and had wonderful mixed drinks everywhere we went! I definitely recommend this place to those who want more of a relaxing and private getaway instead of the same ol' hotel stay you can do anywhere else. The whole stay was a lovely experience I will never forget!
Testimonial: I can't describe how special this trip was for me and my new hubby! The grounds, the villa, the helpful and friendly conversations with Kit and Colin, and the atmosphere made this place feel like paradise! All the comforts of home were neatly tucked away in this private and lush magazine-worthy setting. From the beautiful landscaping, to the hand-planted palm trees gently swaying overhead, this place will remain special in my memory.

 We walked, explored, ate yummy food, had great drinks (Somewhere Bar!), chatted with Kit and Colin, and many other friendly locals over the 7 day (too short!) duration of our stay. And to Kit, I thank you for letting me go on and on about your fruit trees and plants! We had wonderful conversations, and I'm so happy to have met you! To Colin, I truly enjoyed your sense of humor and happy outlook on life. It was a joy to speak with you as well! And to Shadow kitty, it was amusing seeing you climb the palm trees and chase little grass pieces!

 What I really enjoyed about our stay (right next to all the awesome snorkeling) had to have been the taste of culture we were able to experience that we would not have gotten just staying in some impersonal ol' luxury hotel. If you want to immerse yourself in the ambiance, have two of the most gracious hosts imaginable, and really get a feel for island life, then Fleetwood Villas will be everything you hope for!

Can someone please help me?
My current script below is getting the current time stamp and the last time the folder was modified, but i do not know how to proceed.
[root@cgf01 log]# more CheckLastCdr.sh
#get current timestamp
current_time=`date`

#get last CDR timestamp
last_cdr_time=`find /tmp/log/ -exec stat \{} --printf="%y\n" \; | sort -n -r | head -1`

echo $current_time
echo $last_cdr_time

when i run this script i am getting the following:
[root@cgf01 log]# ./CheckLastCdr.sh
./CheckLastCdr.sh: line 6: 2011-04-05: command not found
Tue Apr 5 16:19:31 CEST 2011
2011-04-05 16:14:33.000000000 +0200

thanks in advance

A: If you want the number of seconds ago:
echo $[$(date +%s)-$(stat --printf "%Y" /tmp/log)]

A: You don't have to use find to get this info. You can use stat like so:
stat --printf=%Y dirname

A: Change:
find /tmp/log/ -exec stat \{} --printf="%y\n"

to:
find /tmp/log/ -exec stat \{} --printf="%T@\n"

Q: Typescript how to infer type from a constant property value I want to get the type of a property from a constant previously defined.
const my_constant = {
    user: {
        props: {
            name: {
                type: 'string'
            }
        }
    },
    media: {
        props: {
            id: {
                type: 'number'
            }
        }
    }
} as const;

type Name = keyof typeof my_constant;

type Constructed<T extends Name> = {
    [K in keyof typeof my_constant[T]['props']]: typeof my_constant[T]['props'][K]['type']

                                     // ~~~ Type '"type"' cannot be used to index type ...
}

I don't understand why I cannot use "type" as index but I can use "props".
If typescript can infer that there is always "props" attribute why it cannot infer that there is always "type"?
Is there another way maybe to get the type?
What I want to achieve is something like this:

const user:Constructed<'user'> = {
    name: 'John'
}

const media:Constructed<'media'> = {
    id: 123
}

const user2:Constructed<'user'> = {
    name: 444
    // ~~~ Error
}

const media2:Constructed<'media'> = {
    id: 'something'
    // ~~~ Error
}

Here is the playground link with the exact error:

A: Typescript cannot use a string to index the constant. It needs the proper key.
You can check if the object has the attribute type and also maybe use a Mapped type to get the real type instead of just "string".
const my_constant = {
    user: {
        props: {
            name: {
                type: 'string'
            }
        }
    },
    media: {
        props: {
            id: {
                type: 'number'
            }
        }
    }
} as const;

type Name = keyof typeof my_constant;

type InferType<T> = T extends {type: infer I} ? I : never;

interface Mapped {
    string: string;
    number: number;
}

type Constructed<T extends Name> = {
    [K in keyof typeof my_constant[T]['props']]:
        InferType<typeof my_constant[T]['props'][K]> extends keyof Mapped ?
            Mapped[InferType<typeof my_constant[T]['props'][K]>] : never

PEEL the celery root, rinse it well and chop into coarse pieces. PEEL the onion and garlic cloves and roughly chop the onion and 1 garlic clove. CHOP the other 2 garlic cloves into halves and set aside.
Roughly CHOP the bacon and cook it on high heat. We're going to sauté the onion, garlic and celery root in the fat and also use some for on top on the soup later on. This will give the soup an extra delicious hearty flavor. ADD the 2 halved garlic cloves to the fat so it will be a garlicy bacon fat. REMOVE the bacon and garlic, so we'll end up with just the tasteful fat.
SET a part of the fat aside for later and HEAT a bit of the fat in the medium-sized pan. SAUTE the onion and 1 garlic cloves and after a few minutes, also ADD the celery root. Again after a few minutes, also ADD the cloves and bay leaves. POUR in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. COOK the soup for about 10 minutes and then REMOVE the cloves and bay leaves.
Meanwhile CREATE the croutons. REMOVE the crust of the bread slices and chop the bread into cubes. SET a part of the bacon fat aside and HEAT the rest of it in the medium-sized skillet. COOK the bread cubes for a few minutes in the skillet, until they're golden brown and crispy.
BLEND the soup as soon as the celery root has softened enough, the exact cooking time depends on the size of the chunks. Bring the soup back to a boil. ADD the cream and SEASON with pepper and maybe some salt. The salt is optional, cause the bacon fat is already quite salty. SERVE with extra bacon fat, croutons and parsley for extra garnish. Enjoy!

Q: I am looking for the word that refers to the set of rules/laws within a fictional universe which maintains the realism within the universe I am looking for the word that refers to the set of rules/laws within a fictional universe which maintains the realism within the universe.
Eg. Within The Lord of the Rings it is established that magic, elves, trolls etc are all realistic within this fantasy universe as it is established early on in the story, however, were Frodo to suddenly pull out a mobile telephone and let Gandalf know he was on his way to Mt Doom it would be unrealistic within the universe.
Words that it is not:

*

*Realism

*World building

*consistency

*plausibility

I seen it for the first time in a forum I can no longer find. All synonyms of realism are not what the word is either. I believe it to be specific to rules/laws within fictional/alternate universes created that maintain the status quo of realism.
I apologise if this is unclear but cannot think of another way to explain it and simply hope someone reading this knows the word.

A: It's not a single word but I think the term you're looking for is internal logic or internal consistency.
https://www.matthewmarchitto.com/blog/2016/3/22/worldbuilding-part-3-internal-logic
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Consistency?from=Main.InternalConsistency

A: I think an apt term would be [generic] verisimilitude.
From Wikipedia (emphasis in original):

Verisimilitude is the "lifelikeness" or believability of a work of fiction...Language philosopher Steve Neale distinguishes between two types: ...cultural verismilitude, meaning plausability...outside of the work; and generic verismilitude, meaning plausibility...within the bounds of its own genre."

Other related terms are mimesis and diegesis.
Further in the Verismilitude article, Wikipedia states:

Verisimilitude has its roots in both the Platonic and Aristotelian dramatic theory of mimesis, the imitation or representation of nature. For a piece of art to hold significance or persuasion for an audience, according to Plato and Aristotle, it must have grounding in reality.

Here's a contrast between these 2 terms in the Diegesis article:

Diegesis (Greek διήγησις "narration") and mimesis (Greek μίμησις "imitation") have been contrasted since Plato's and Aristotle's times. Mimesis shows rather than tells, by means of action that is enacted. Diegesis is the telling of a story by a narrator. The narrator may speak as a particular character, or may be the invisible narrator, or even the all-knowing narrator who speaks from "outside" in the form of commenting on the action or the characters.

A: An important concept so no need to apologize. I think the best one is what you are using; Universe. This is a new usage in modern dictionaries.

A: decorum (noun)
de·co·rum | \ di-ˈkȯr-əm  \
Definition of decorum

*

*literary and dramatic propriety : FITNESS
according to strict neoclassic decorum only the aristocracy had the right to appear in tragedy
— Irving Babbitt

*propriety and good taste in conduct or appearance
strict in her notions of decorum
— Jane Austen

*ORDERLINESS
the organization's decorum has rarely been shaken
— W. F. Longgood

*decorums plural : the conventions of polite behavior
the established sobrieties and decorums of English life
— H. G. Wells

Dona Emma é um município brasileiro do Estado de Santa Catarina. Localiza-se a uma latitude 26º59'05" sul e a uma longitude 49º43'32" oeste, estando a uma altitude de 390 metros. Fundado pela Lei Estadual nº 826 em 17 de maio de 1962 e instalado segundo Decreto Estadual nº 1586 em 15 de junho de 1962. Os municípios limítrofes são José Boiteux, Presidente Getúlio, Rio do Oeste, Taió e Witmarsum. Teve como principais etnias na colonização os alemães, italianos, poloneses e açorianos.

Possui uma área de 181,018 km².

História
Em 1919 iniciou-se a colonização da região onde hoje se localiza o município de Dona Emma, quando uma equipe de medição de terras, da Sociedade Colonizadora Hanseática alcançou um dos afluentes da margem direita do Rio Krauel, ainda sem denominação. Os componentes da equipe prestaram, então, uma homenagem à esposa do Diretor da Sociedade Colonizadora Hanseática, José Deeke, denominando-o de "Rio Dona Emma", nome este que foi estendido a toda região banhada por este rio e seus afluentes.

Neste mesmo ano foram adquiridos os primeiros lotes de terras, pelas famílias Albert Koglin, Andreas Schwarz, Alfons Ax, Richard Lindner e outros, dando início a vinda de um grande número de imigrantes alemães ou filhos de alemães imigrantes das antigas colônias de Blumenau, Indaial e Timbó, imigrantes teuto-russos e imigrantes italianos.

Formaram-se pequenos núcleos em torno do comércio, escola e igreja da época, dando origem a um pequeno povoado no lugar onde se localiza a atual cidade de Dona Emma, que teve como sua primeira denominação oficial o nome de "Vila Konder" , mas Helene Paffrath Preis relata que o primeiro nome do lugar era Boa Vista, e depois recebeu o nome de Donna Emma. Ela também relata sobre a primeira pessoa sepultada, Frau Gries, vitima de acidente. Estava levando comida para seu filho, que abria uma nova área na mata próximo ao rancho dos imigrantes, e viu que a árvore estava balançando para cair, então, por prudencia, afastou-se, mas na queda, a árvore acabou batendo em outra e um dos galhos voou em alta velocidade, atingindo-a fatalmente, sendo sepultada ali no meio da mata. O filho dela, Herr Gries, que já estava noivo, deixou o lugar e casou-se com uma moça alemã, que residia próximo ao moinho local. Assim ocorreu o primeiro sepultamento e casamento no lugar que atualmente se chama Dona Emma

Em 26 de Janeiro de 1934, pelo Decreto Estadual nº 470, o povoado de Dona Emma foi elevado à categoria de Distrito com o nome de "Gustavo Richard", em homenagem ao Ex-Governador de Santa Catarina. Contudo, prevaleceu entre o povo a denominação original de "Dona Emma", quando em 17 de Maio de 1962, através da Lei Estadual nº 826, foi criado o Município, passando a denominar-se pela vontade popular, com o nome de "DONA EMMA".

O Município de Dona Emma, foi instalado em 15 de junho de 1962, através do Decreto SJ 7 de junho de 1962/1586, sendo nomeado Prefeito provisório Aléssio Gadotti, do PSD. Em seguida houve eleição e o primeiro prefeito eleito pelo voto popular foi o senhor Erich Kuehl que tomou posse no dia 15 de junho de 1962 e governou até dia 31 de janeiro de 1963.

Adotando-se o nome de Dona Emma, homenageou-se uma pessoa altamente benemérita. Emma Maria, nasceu em Blumenau a 7 de julho de 1885. Era filha de Carlos Rischbieter e Hedwiges Clasen.

A 29 de agosto de 1904, quando tinha 19 anos, casou-se com o agrimensor José Deeke, funcionário da "Sociedade Colonizadora Hanseática" com sede em Hamônia (atual cidade de Ibirama) , onde o Jovem casal estabeleceu residência.

Junto ao esposo e aos cinco filhos, dona Emma exerceu verdadeiro apostolado no lar e na sociedade esmerando-se em transmitir as virtudes e valores que trouxera da casa paterna. Participava com dedicação das atividades benemerentes em favor de hospitais, escolas, igrejas, associações culturais e esportivas.

Emma Maria Rischbieter Deeke, viúva desde 1931, faleceu em Blumenau dia 10 de abril de 1950.

Devon drug dealer spared jail after becoming Covid-19 volunteer
"You have moved from the choppy seas of criminality to the calmer waters of family life."
Ted DavenportCourt Reporter
A judge has shown mercy on a drug dealer after hearing how he volunteered to help the vulnerable and elderly during the Covid crisis.
Stephen McCormack helped to run a drugs supply business which brought heroin and cocaine to Tiverton and Taunton in 2017 but has turned his life around in the three years since then.
He has settled down, started a family, found work and overcome his own drug problems. He volunteered to distribute food to people who were shielding during lockdown.
His case took three years to come to court because the leader of the drugs ring went on to run two further supply operations and was only caught a year ago.
McCormack was recruited by Liverpool-based County Lines dealer Joseph Hales to organise transport during the first of three drugs conspiracies.

Police raided a house in Westexe, Tiverton, in April 2017 and seized drugs and a phone which enabled them to trace Hale to the Quantock Orchard holiday park at Crowcombe, near Taunton.
McCormack was one of two men sharing a caravan with Hale and police seized car hire documents which showed he had rented vehicles for two drug trips from Liverpool to the West Country.
Hale was found with £160 worth of drugs which were ready for street sale and a total of £2,315 cash was seized.
McCormack, aged 35, of Lucan Road, Liverpool, admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine and heroin and was jailed for two years, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 200 hours unpaid community work and complete a thinking skills course by Judge Peter Johnson at Exeter Crown Court.

He told him: "You have altered course markedly over the past few years when you have been awaiting the outcome of this case. You have moved from the choppy seas of criminality to the calmer waters of family life.
"You are working and have rid yourself of your addiction to drugs. You are now living a law-abiding life, you are employed, and have a young child who has medical problems.
"You have used the time to good effect and now mixing with people who are not criminals. I also take into account the public service you performed during Covid 19.

"You have assisted by doing valuable voluntary work with elderly and vulnerable people in Liverpool."
Hale, aged 24, of Rappart Road, Wallasey, admitted six counts of conspiracy to supply class A and was jailed for six years at the same court in April.
Mr Lee Bremridge, prosecuting, said police raided a house in Westexe North, Tiverton, on April 4, 2017 and found 91 wraps of heroin or crack, each destined to be sold for £10 to users.

The caravan where McCormack, Hale, and a third man were staying was raided shortly afterwards and five mobile phones, cash, and 16 more wraps of drugs were seized.
Mr Justin Nutter, defending, said McCormack started a new relationship shortly after his arrest in 2017 which proved the catalyst he needed to change his life.
He now has a job, a stable home, and a young son who is undergoing treatment for a hip condition at Alder Hey Children's hospital.

Nature in Wagamese's Novel Indian Horse
Beyond the surface implications of literature as a teaching tool, stories can sometimes uncover several attributes about the author and his background. Wagamese's novel uniquely explores nature and presents some of the pertinent aspects of societies. The author states that "all of us have an intuitive connection to the planet," to illustrate the fact that humankind has a responsibility to take care of the Earth. In essence, he highlights several ill-behaviors and carelessness of people through the character, Saul. In fact, the natural setting was crucial in sustaining Saul's life all through different conditions. Evidently, Saul admits this idea by saying "I have been lifted up and out of this physical world into a place where time and space have a different rhythm." The author depicts how human activities, social settings, and individualistic values can affect the condition of the environment.
Saul portrays Toronto as a harsh, polluted, and chaotic environment, living in which can offer little pleasure. In essence, urban settings are naturally unfavorable, with many people living unbearable life and frenzy surroundings. Wagamese exposes urban mess through Saul as he comes to the city for the first time. He finds everything ruined as pollution, traffic, and other unpleasant conditions become prevalent. Saul describes these circumstances as "a mad jumble of speed, noise and people." Further, he claims that the city was a place where one "could taste the soot and oil and gas all the time" to highlight the level of destruction people have rendered on nature. Such a frightening picture denotes the distinctions between town life and rural settings.
On the contrary, rural areas are described as serene environments associated with fulfillment and joy. Saul refers to the land as the fragment of reality he can enjoy and understand well. Thus, town life became less pleasant and demeaning as compared to the village setups. Lake Nagagami was serenely natural and prominent due to remarkable physical attributes which would immensely connect people to their culture and traditions. The village background was an exceptional setup in Saul's perception. Primarily, people in the countryside live in harmony, dispensing greater attachment to their cultures and social ties. In towns, true love is unlikely to be found since the local residents do not seem to care or love one another. Accordingly, the author depicts rural life as a lively natural setting in which people can be humane and thoughtful in their decisions, while urban folks are selfish and committed to looking for the unfulfilling wealth.
Notably, Wagamese skillfully uses his wit to expose individual variations in groups' social characteristics from different backgrounds. His diction in narrating the various ordeals bears a significant effect on the relevance of the story. As a result, it becomes more interesting to examine how this variability would portray the role of literature across different cultures. Sometimes, the companions endured within the environment can shape the way people perceive one another. Consequently, individuals may become devoted to varying goals in life even if they share the same origin and values. While reading this novel, it becomes vivid that the town dwellers have a different way of life with eternal problems, whereas country individuals are joyful and healthily contented.
To conclude, the use of the depiction of nature in this novel reflects the decisive role of humanity in the environment. At the same time, it helps the reader understand how consistent exposure may breed content. Although the town seems harsh and unwelcoming, those who live there do not realize anything strange until they reach their destination. Typically, the natural setting helps to highlight human connection with the environment. The comparative display and choice of words is used to demonstrate that various natural locations can create an image of how landscapes may be altered through our daily activities.
