Visiting Manchester as a Football Fan
Manchester | United Kingdom

It's no exaggeration to say that alongside the likes of London, Madrid, and Rome, Manchester has a huge shout as Europe's capital of football. Just 5 miles apart lie arguably one of the world's most famous teams and currently one of the world's best football teams in Manchester United and Manchester City.
This high-profile dominance of the footballing landscape results in a huge influx of football fans in Manchester every weekend, and especially so when either team is playing at home in Europe. But what are the best things to do in Manchester as a football fan? How can you make the most of your time before and after the game? Below I have outlined some of the best things to see and do, where to eat and drink, and where to stay as a football fan in Manchester.
What to do in Manchester
Visit Old Trafford and The Etihad Stadium
National Football Museum
Explore the Region's Other Sports Teams
Take a Tour of the City
Shambles Square
Mackie Mayor
Bonus: Where to Stay in Manchester
As a football fan, your first stop should be to visit the stadium with Manchester United's Museum & Stadium Tour and the Manchester City Stadium and Club Tour. Each tour will allow you to discover the inner workings of the clubs, taking you pitchside and exploring the trophies won by the teams.

Your visit to Manchester as a football fan isn't complete without a visit to the National Football Museum. Explore the history of the beautiful game with a huge collection in the permanent galleries and exhibitions telling stories from the game's inception to the present day. Alongside this, take part in a penalty shootout and interactive games, take photos with the Premier League trophy, or purchase games, clothing, and memorabilia in the shop.
Alongside these two juggernauts of Premier League football clubs, Greater Manchester has a wealth of other professional clubs, including Rochdale AFC, Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Oldham Athletic, and Salford City.
You can also enjoy other professional sports across the city, including the Manchester Giants basketball team, Manchester Storm ice hockey team, Lancashire Cricket Club at Emirates OId Trafford, Sale Sharks rugby, and a plethora of other sporting grounds and activities.
Manchester has a rich and varied history, from leading the world's production of cotton, to radically fighting injustice, to being at the forefront of the UK's music scene. There's so much to discover, so why not hop on one of Manchester Guided Tours' daily Discover Manchester tours to get under the skin of the city. For something a bit different, Skyliner hosts alternative tours of Manchester's iconic Northern Quarter, learning about the history, culture, and of course the local street art! For those with an empty belly, the fantastic Scranchester Tours take you on a multi-stop gastronomy tour, sharing food and drink stories from this original modern city.
Where to Eat and Drink
Ideally located next to Exchange Square Metrolink Station, Shambles Square is likely to be one of your first pit stops in the city. Based around a central courtyard where many-a-Mancunian can be found basking on a hot day, you can enjoy drinks from Sinclair's Oyster Bar, or from The Old Wellington, a 1552 Tudor-building that's housed everything from a draper's shop to a fishing tackle shop, and is now one of the city's most iconic pubs.
For a traditional pub, make the short journey to St. Peter's Square and head to the next-door neighbours of The Vine Inn and The City Arms, both offering quality cask ales and excellent environments. A short walk away takes you to arguable Manchester's most recognisable pub, the green-tiles Peveril of the Peak. The old-school favourite offers quality beer, a pool table, dartboard, and jukebox. A little further down the road is the real ale and whisky specialist The Britons Protection, offering log fires, beautiful interiors, and a beer garden.
Along Manchester's Oxford Road and nestled underneath the Mancunian Way is Manchester's award-winning outdoor food, drink and retail space for independent traders. With a rotating mix of some of Manchester's greatest food and drink traders and an eclectic calendar of events throughout the year, Hatch is undoubtedly worth a visit on your trip to Manchester.
For those who favour a craft over a cask, Manchester has its fair share of craft breweries to visit and sample. Perhaps one of the city's biggest craft success stories are Seven Brothers, with a brewery and taproom in Salford alongside beerhouses in Ancoats and Middlewood Locks. On select days, you can also enjoy offerings from Alphabet Brewery, Beatnikz Republic Brewing Co, Beer Nouveau, Cloudwater Brewery, Runaway Brewery, and Track Brewing Co. Perhaps give a glass of water a go between each to make sure you make it to the match…
Inside a Grade-II former Market Hall lies Mackie Mayor, one of Manchester's most exciting new eateries. Catering from breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and everything in-between, order your food and drink from one of the vendors around the hall and wait for them to bring your food to you whilst you wait and admire the stunning interior.
Bonus: Where to Stay
There's a clear choice of where to stay when visiting Manchester as a football fan, and that's at the Class of '92-owned Hotel Football. With subtle nods to sporting history, the hotel is the perfect choice for games at Old Trafford, situated next door to the famous stadium.
Other luxury options in the city centre include The Lowry, The Midland Hotel, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Hotel Brooklyn and more. For more budget offerings, be sure to check out The Pendulum Hotel, Ibis Hotel Manchester Portland Street, or Holiday Inn Express Oxford Road.
With a deep and varied sporting history, Manchester is a fantastic city to explore as a football fan, spending time soaking up the culture in this diverse and energetic city. Make sure you make the most of your visit and get to know Manchester.

Like in each casino game in roulette the casino has an advantage (5.26% or 2.7%) according to the game variant you play – American or Roulette. Besides, the roulette odds may also slightly vary according to special cash promotions, in particular when playing on Internet. It is a little bit bewildering why the maximum payoff is only 35 to 1 if the roulette wheel comprises 38 numbers. It is just the casino edge which tells how gambling halls gain profit. It must be admitted that in the French roulette casino advantage is simply 2.7%, cause of this we suggest you to play only the game with French roulette wheel.
No matter the gambling strategies you use or what variant of game you play it is undoubtedly possible to win. The roulette game is pretty easy since the basic information you must know deals with the odds in roulette game. Here we offer you the information on various odds at American and European Roulette as to different bets.

Zayo Selected as an Authorized Provider for National Coalition of Research & Education Networks
The Quilt coalition includes 900 universities and thousands of educational institutions
Consistent with Zayo's vertical segment strategy, we're placing renewed focus on the education and the public sectors. That's why the recent notification that we have been selected as an Authorized Quilt Provider (AQP) for IP Solutions is especially great news. The Quilt is a national coalition of non-profit regional research and education (R&E) networks, with a mission of facilitating advanced networking services for its member institutions.
Increasingly, The Quilt members rely on high-performance bandwidth for moving large data files and data analytics, cloud-based tools and real-time collaboration. The quality, reliability and speed of the network are critical for these data-intensive functions.
"We look forward to working with the Quilt community to provide high-bandwidth IP solutions as well as to explore how they might benefit from our broader global communications infrastructure offerings."
As an AQP, Zayo can now provide IP solutions to Quilt members, including 40 regional educational networks across the country, 900 universities and thousands of other educational and community anchor institutions. "Reliable, high-quality connectivity enables the research and education community to be at the forefront of clinical, environmental and scientific research," said Brad Kilbey, senior vice president, Sales, for the Public Sector, Healthcare & Utilities segment. "We look forward to working with the Quilt community to provide high-bandwidth IP solutions as well as to explore how they might benefit from our broader global communications infrastructure offerings."
Zayo serves numerous schools, universities, research institutions and Federal agencies — and momentum is accelerating. During the first quarter of this year, more than 20 school districts selected Zayo infrastructure funded through E-rate, a Federal program that subsidizes internet infrastructure for schools and libraries.
"Zayo's solutions, delivered over their extensive global fiber footprint, will support our members' needs for secure, reliable, high-performance bandwidth."
Like many of Zayo's other educational clients, the Quilt selected Zayo through a rigorous RFP process because of its fiber network, technical competence, peering point locations and world-class customer support.
"Zayo has a strong reputation for delivering the consistent performance that our members, and the institutions they support," said Jen Leasure, president and CEO. "Zayo's solutions, delivered over their extensive global fiber footprint, will support our members' needs for secure, reliable, high-performance bandwidth."

Providing Branding, Digital Design, Print Design, Marketing and Production services to clients in Surrey, Sussex and London.
Brands are built on a foundation of research and strategic planning to determine 'who' a client is 'what' they do, 'where' they operate and, most importantly, 'how' they want to be perceived by their customers. Once a brand is defined, it can be encoded into a logo, colour palette, typography and various other visual and non-visual elements to provide a consistent, relevant and meaningful brand image.
Whether repositioning or redefining an existing brand, or creating a brand from scratch and delivering an all-encompassing identity and comprehensive brand guidelines, I help my clients stand out from the crowd.
With experience planning, designing and managing the development of a wide variety of websites, applications and digital marketing materials, I can create virtually any platform to allow your business to interact with consumers online.
Combining research, planning, user experience (UX) design and user interface (UI) design with the ability to fully mange the development, delivery and support of your project, I offer a complete digital service. Through the addition of services such as marketing, production and branding, alongside my own experience running a successful e-commerce business, I help my clients achieve their maximum online potential.
Whilst digital is unquestionably the future, nothing compares to the the tangibility of a beautifully printed perfect bound brochure, or the tactile feel of an embossed or hot foil blocked business card.
To help my clients make the perfect impression I offer design of any printed materials – from corporate stationary, brochures and flyers to large-format advertising, shop displays and exhibition stands. Furthermore, I am able to source and manage the entire print production process on behalf of my clients via a network of tried and tested digital and lithographic printers throughout the UK and beyond.
In addition to designing marketing materials, I help my clients define their marketing strategy for growth over both the short and long-term. Through objectively analysing your current marketing activity, determining where you are now and helping you to define where you want to get to, I can develop and implement a plan to get you there.
With experience helping clients communicate with consumers both on and offline, as well as quickly and cost-effectively increasing sales, get in touch for a no-obligation chat about how I help my clients grow their businesses today.
In addition to my core design and marketing services, I also have many years experience providing high-end production services across both print and moving image. Services in this area include, concept development, planning and shoot management, art direction and post-production. Furthermore, from my network of photographers, stylists and production assistants, I am able to quickly assemble a team of experts in their fields for any shoot.
As well as live video shoots, I also provide wholly animated (illustrated) videos, 3D and motion graphics – ideal for use in explainer and pitch videos, or where live action video is cost prohibitive or unsuitable.

Well, it probably won't, but it couldn't hurt.
This is Comic Koubou (コミック工房 Comic Workshop), a new 3DS download-only app for easy manga creation. It's obviously not as high-end as software like Manga Studio or Clip Studio Paint, and you probably won't see a lot of published manga artists releasing pieces they drew on their 3DSs, but for light-hearted sample of what the process is like, it doesn't look so bad.
The software allows for the basics – free panel division, basic tools for speech and text bubbles, vertical and horizontal text placement, pens, brushes, and tones – as well as digital platform benefits like layers (up to 5 simultaneously), copy/paste, and the ever essential undo/redo function.
Manga created in Comic Koubou can be saved in a JPEG format to the 3DS SD memory card and can transferred to PC or uploaded to the internet. Although it's being released on the 3DS, the software does not support 3D display. Pages also have a maximum size setting of 896 x 896 pixels, which is obviously far under the preferred size for heavy hitters, but then again, heavy hitters probably already have their own preferred software.
Comic Koubou is on the light end of the spectrum when it comes to image creation software, but it does make relatively good use of the hardware. Touch panel technology is definitely the way to go for drawing programs, but still, it woulda been nicer if they'd release it on the Wii U.
Comic Koubou is scheduled for release on the Japanese Nintendo eShop on January 15th for ¥800 (US$7.62). No word on an international release.

When Ricardo Rosselló was sworn in as governor of Puerto Rico in January 2017, the United States territory was besieged by challenges. The island had not recovered from a recession triggered by the end of federal tax breaks that had attracted investment to the island and boosted the economy. The territory subsequently lost 40% of its manufacturing jobs, which contributed to an increasing exodus; between 2006 and 2016, some 14% of the territory's population migrated off the island.
Over time the government on every level—the central government; municipalities; and public sector corporations that provide services such as electricity, water, and transportation—had borrowed heavily to sustain operations and pay pensions. More than 40% of the residents of Puerto Rico lived below the federal poverty level, and half of the population was enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or Medicaid—which is funded by the federal government at a lower level than in the states, adding to the Puerto Rican government's financial bind.
The growing financial crisis led the US Congress to pass the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act of 2016 (PROMESA), which created the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico to oversee negotiations with creditors and to certify the Puerto Rican government's fiscal plan going forward. But given its US$74 billion in debt and US$49 billion in pension liabilities, the government filed for the equivalent of bankruptcy protection in May 2017.
Four months later, Hurricane Maria struck the island. Winds blew at 155 miles per hour. Parts of the island were flooded with up to three feet of rain. The territory's electric grid was virtually destroyed, incapacitating the pumps that supplied running water and leaving city centers without power. More than 80% of the island's cell phone towers were knocked out, and many roads were heavily damaged. Puerto Rico's fiscal plans had to be completely revised as a result of the hurricane damage, and Rosselló's government worked closely with key stakeholders and the Oversight Board to create a new budget consistent with the goals of PROMESA.
Profit spoke to Rosselló at La Fortaleza, the official governor's residence in San Juan, about the challenges and opportunities ahead and why he sees cloud technology as a key component of Puerto Rico's innovative future.
Profit: You were sworn in as governor of Puerto Rico in January 2017. Describe Puerto Rico at that point.
Rosselló: We call Puerto Rico the island of enchantment. It's got a lot of natural beauty and great people. Unfortunately, we were marred with many challenges on the fiscal and economic fronts. When I came in as governor, my main objective was to figure out how we could get out of that fiscal and economic situation and certainly use innovation as a key driver toward doing that.
At that point, Puerto Rico was under a fiscal oversight board and still is. We have a significantly large debt burden. But over the last few years, we've been able to start to addressing those issues as well as driving our objective to have Puerto Rico be open for business.
Profit: How will those objectives create opportunity for the people of Puerto Rico?
Rosselló: I see Puerto Rico as the home of the human cloud. Every day, jobs become more geographically independent. In that context, people are able to look for places they would rather live. I think Puerto Rico has all the assets necessary, and we're making changes to the chronic problems we've had, to turn them into opportunities—such as energy, education system, labor participation rate, opportunities, and so forth.
The idea is we can attract people to come to Puerto Rico, so our human resources can stay here rather than leaving for other jurisdictions. Some who have left can come back home, and some who might have never imagined they'd see Puerto Rico as a place to live will see that we have the best incentives for exporting services, the best and most competitive tax treatment in certain respects, and we will have resources to rebuild and opportunities to invest in.
Profit: Cloud computing complements the human cloud quite nicely. How will cloud technology help the Puerto Rican government with some of its most pressing challenges?
Rosselló: We are looking at ways to aggregate information, have it secure, and have easy access to it. Cloud technology is critical, and it's already been helpful. Certainly, everybody was able to see the impact that the hurricanes had in Puerto Rico. Knowing that we had our most critical information and activities stored in safe places was a critical added value for our people.
One of the things we were able to work through during the 2017 storm and its aftermath was the continuous payroll for our government employees. Because of our efforts with Oracle [prior to the hurricane], that process was easily facilitated during that time. If we hadn't had that system, it would have been another story.
Cloud computing also gives the government new flexibility that allows us to facilitate payments, accurately assess our human resources, [and work within our financial structure]. Having an oversight board and with our fiscal situation, it's important we have a clear, transparent repository of all the information that's flowing in. With so many stakeholders involved, cloud computing becomes a tool of choice.
Profit: How did Oracle get involved with the work being done in Puerto Rico?
Rosselló: Oracle has been a great stakeholder with Puerto Rico in the past. We've worked together. Their commitment to innovation aligns with our commitment to make Puerto Rico an island of research and development at the cusp of modern technology. Secondly, Oracle executes. Oracle is a very effective partner that gets us results.
Historically, our government structure was very antiquated. Many things were done manually, many things were still done on paper; systems that we had were fragmented and separate and couldn't communicate with each other.
My view and my vision is a Puerto Rico that's open for business.
Puerto Rico's government and policies are undergoing a transformation right now. It's important to have the backing of a sophisticated stakeholder in technology, so we can be sure that all of the changes we're making—from human resources reform to tax reform to education reform to transformation of the energy sector—are rationalized someplace. We know we can count on Oracle to be that strong partner throughout this transformation.
Profit: How do you see Puerto Rico in the future? What is your vision?
Rosselló: My view of Puerto Rico is we become the connector of the Americas. Puerto Rico is part of the US, but our culture is connected to all of Latin America, and geographically we're right in the middle. That makes it the ideal place for people to come and do business, diplomacy, finance, and otherwise. We're committed to making changes in infrastructure so we can facilitate that path forward.
My view and my vision is a Puerto Rico that's open for business, and we eliminate obstacles in the way of business today so that it becomes the desired spot to export services all across our region.
I also see Puerto Rico as the island of innovation—and this is where Oracle becomes a critical partner, even more than in the past. If Puerto Rico is to move forward, and if we want to be on a path to progress, we really have to be in the vanguard of innovation and technology.
Puerto Rico can become the center of the world for resiliency and rebuilding after a storm or [other] catastrophic event. I'm very excited about that possibility. It will be an exciting time, and we want to make sure that we make this a dynamic center that's vibrant, has opportunity for all, and allows folks to stay in the United States.
Puerto Rico is a phenomenal place. We have many of the natural resources we need, great people, a well-trained labor force, and natural beauty all around. But we certainly have had some chronic problems that we need to fix, and we need to change those with the goal of Puerto Rico becoming a dynamo in the Americas.

Q: nltk corpus tweeter_sample by category I want to train the nltk with the tweeter_sample corpus, but I get an error when I try to load the sample by category.
First I tried like that:
from nltk.corpus import twitter_samples

documents = [(list(twitter_samples.strings(fileid)), category)
             for category in twitter_samples.categories()
             for fileid in twitter_samples.fileids(category)]

but it gave me this error:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/neptun/PycharmProjects/Thesis/First_sentimental.py", line 6, in <module>
    for category in twitter_samples.categories()
  File "C:\Users\neptun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\nltk\corpus\util.py", line 119, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self, attr)
AttributeError: 'TwitterCorpusReader' object has no attribute 'categories'

I don't know how to give them the available attributes in order to have my list with positive and negative sentiment.

A: If you inspect twitter_samples.fileids(), you'll see that there are separate positive and negative files:
>>> twitter_samples.fileids()
['negative_tweets.json', 'positive_tweets.json', 'tweets.20150430-223406.json']

So to get the tweets classified as positive or negative, just select the corresponding file. It's not the usual way the nltk handles categorized corpora, but there you have it.
documents = ([(t, "pos") for t in twitter_samples.strings("positive_tweets.json")] +
             [(t, "neg") for t in twitter_samples.strings("negative_tweets.json")])

This will get you a dataset of 10000 tweets. The third file contains another 20000, which apparently are not categorized.

A: categorized_tweets = ([(t, "pos") for t in twitter_samples.strings("positive_tweets.json")] +
                            [(t, "neg") for t in twitter_samples.strings("negative_tweets.json")])

smilies = [':-)', ':)', ';)', ':o)', ':]', ':3', ':c)', ':>', '=]', '8)', '=)', ':}',
    ':^)', ':-D', ':D', '8-D', '8D', 'x-D', 'xD', 'X-D', 'XD', '=-D', '=D',

While HostGator is one of the oldest Web Hosting companies around, FastComet is a Web Hosting company that has emerged at a very rapid pace. The two hosting companies differ in a lot of aspects.
However, if you are new to Web Hosting, I completely understand how difficult it is on your part to spot the actual differences between these two Web Hosting companies.
This post will give you a perfectly clear picture of the differences between these two Web Hosting companies.
HostGator started way back in 2002 and since then, it has played an exceptionally important role in simplifying the concept of web hosting by introducing things like CMS and more. FastComet started much later in the year 2010.
However, the company emerged at a brilliant pace and has largely proved its excellence all over the world.
In the current Web Hosting industry wherein there are many Web Hosting companies, simply counting on anyone's promising words can be pretty deceiving sometimes.
This is the reason that I actually thought of testing on the important aspects of both the Hosting companies.
To begin with, I hosted a demo site of each of the two hosting platforms to compare their speed and uptime. As I monitored the performance of both the demo sites, I actually found the uptime to pretty much the sale in both the hosting companies. However, there was a major difference in terms of speed.
Both FastComet and HostGator offer support via phone, Email and Live Chat. However, HostGator support has performed terribly over the years and it would not be wrong to say that HostGator has the worst support in the Web Hosting industry.
I actually thought of checking it on my own for a reassurance via Live Chat and guess what; it only wasted me a lot of time out of waiting to be attended by an executive on a live chat.
Also, I thought, the HostGator Support executives are neither knowledgeable nor are they much professional in their approach.
On the contrary, FastComet has very reliable support. Support via Live chat and tickets is extremely fast. The executives have exceptional product knowledge. Also, they are pretty much friendly.
While FastComet has eight data center locations which comprise Chicago, Dallas, and Newark in the USA, Frankfurt, London, and Amsterdam in the Europe and Singapore and Tokyo in Asia, HostGator has two data center locations comprising Provo, Utah and Houston, Texas.
Both FastComet and HostGator allow you to start at a very low price. While FastComet allows you to start for $2.95/mo, HostGator allows you to start for an even lower price of $2.75/mo.
However, this is how it apparently looks like. As a matter of fact, the FastComet Startup plan is much powerful than that of HostGator.
It can actually be compared with HostGator's Business plan and even then, it still has many advanced features that are actually missing in the HostGator's Business plan. With FastComet Hosting, you actually get a domain for free.
Most importantly, HostGator's renewals are usually pretty high and on the contrary, FastComet offers users the same price for buying and renewal.
Although there is no denying the fact that HostGator used to be pretty good in the past, Web Hosting technologies have got a lot advanced now and somewhere down the line, HostGator has not been able to keep up with this advancement when compared with the other hosting companies.
I actually found FastComet a lot better than HostGator in terms of speed and support. Most importantly, FastComet pricing is straight and simple with no hidden charges.
Also, it has the same renewals, unlike HostGator. HostGator renewals are pretty high.

Refinitiv debuts Fund ESG Scores to facilitate industry transition to sustainable investing
Investment managers and financial advisors to benefit from Refinitiv Lipper Fund ESG Scores – a transparent and objective measure of ESG performance – available on Refinitiv Workspace, Eikon or API Feed.
NEW YORK / LONDON / SINGAPORE – Building on its commitment to connect and advance the global financial community through data and analytics, Refinitiv today announced Lipper Fund ESG Scores to serve as a pivotal data-metric in the transition to sustainable investing – providing comparisons at the fund level for fund managers, advisors and investors.
Refinitiv Lipper Fund ESG Scores brings together the Lipper fund universe of 330,000 fund share classes and its deep holdings content, ESG coverage on 9,000+ companies representing over 80% of global market capitalization, and Refinitiv's proprietary scoring methodology which factors in issues such as materiality and transparency stimulation, to create fund scores on over 19,000 unique portfolios representing $15.7 trillion in total net assets across equity, bonds and mixed funds. The Fund ESG scores are available on Refinitiv Workspace, Eikon or API Feed.
Refinitiv Lipper Fund ESG Scores are designed to transparently and objectively measure ESG performance, commitment and effectiveness across 10 main themes (emissions, environmental product innovation, diversity and inclusion, human rights, shareholders, etc.) based on publicly-reported data on constituents within the fund across the three pillars Environmental, Social and Governance.
David Craig, CEO of Refinitiv, said: "Even as the world addresses the challenges of COVID-19, climate change remains one of the largest global issues impacting communities, food supplies, bio-diversity and economies. It has become imperative for financial markets to address so investors can direct funds to transitionary projects and away from high carbon and carbon-equivalent industries, and to meet an increasing number of regulatory mandates. Sustainable finance isn't just a political or social choice — it's a smart business decision. Refinitiv is proud to play its part in encouraging this transition by providing trusted data and analytics to investors, traders and advisors so they can evaluate ESG performance and allocate capital."
"ESG scores are a uniquely effective way to assess performance across industries, factoring in issues such as materiality and transparency stimulation, and serve as an objective and impartial assessment of the importance of each ESG theme to different industries," added Craig.
Refinitiv data identifies the ever-increasing levels of assets under management that have a self-identified ESG focus. The variety and style of ESG incorporation is not consistent. Currently it ranges from those that apply negative screening to those with deep ESG integration for risk management purposes, and from models that correlate certain ESG metrics with alpha generation to those focused on measuring impact. When companies add the pressure of regulatory overhang, factoring in ESG considerations is even more critical. Refinitiv believes this new fund scoring capability provides investors with a differentiated asset that offers them a superior route in optimizing capital towards sustainable outcomes.
Refinitiv Lipper ESG Fund Scores incorporate two overall ESG scores in the model:
ESG score – measures company's or fund's ESG performance based on verifiable reported data in the public domain.
ESG combined score – overlays the ESG score with ESG controversies (impact of negative events) to provide a comprehensive evaluation on the company's sustainability impact and conduct in near real time.
There are three total pillar scores to review how a fund or company performed according to the individual pillars of E, S and G, which are made up of 10 key themes. The approach Refinitiv has taken is to score the fund based on constituent attributes, in a bottom-up methodology, using Refinitiv company ESG data and scores and combining it with the deep holdings data on its global funds universe in Lipper.
Leon Saunders Calvert, Head of Sustainable Finance, Lipper & I&A Insights, Refinitiv, said: "At Refinitiv we are focused on bringing transparency to markets and we believe we have unique assets across Lipper fund holdings, our extensive ESG company coverage and our proprietary scoring methodology. In addition to servicing the ESG expert community we believe we can help mainstream sustainability into the financial markets by delivering meaningful data, analytics and tools to finance professionals, allowing them to incorporate ESG factors more easily into the investment process. The launch of Fund ESG scores is an important step in this process."
Earlier this year, Refinitiv announced enhancements to its ESG Scoring Methodology to reflect sustainable industry developments and market changes. In 2019, Refinitiv brought together its ESG Sustainable Investing and Lipper Fund Ratings businesses to increase focus on unearthing links between sustainable business strategies and financial performance.
Wally Okby, Senior Analyst, Aite Group, said: "The benefits of more consistent and transparent ESG data clearly assist investors' capacity to weave sustainability factors into their investment portfolios, aligned to their social values. With increased demand for ESG and sustainable investing since the onset of COVID-19 observed by about half of wealth management firms in our global ecosystem, the launch of Fund ESG scores is certainly opportune and beneficial at this juncture in time."
Will Trout, Head of Wealth Management, Celent, said: "Incorporation of quality data is key to realizing the promise of sustainable investing. From a ratings perspective, deep coverage and robust scoring capabilities are a means to stand out."
Will Jan, VP & Lead Analyst, Outsell, said: "The demand for ESG data in financial services is growing, in response to traders and investors who are seeking top performers in diversity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility, and other factors that contribute to consistent growth in their portfolios. ESG data offer insight into the performance in these areas."
Refinitiv has been serving the financial industry with ESG data and solutions for over 18 years and offers one of the richest ESG databases in the industry – a fully transparent resource that is trusted by investors and corporates to drive positive impact and provide comprehensive analysis.

Mom, I'm sorry that I wasn't there when you shed your last tear, then took your last breath. I knew that night was your last and left you with Angie, your beloved first born, my fiercely loving sister. She dried your tears and held your hands. Angie told you that we loved you, that you were a wonderful mom, and that we would be okay.
I hope you understood. I needed to go home, to see my husband and children, to sleep in my own bed. I kissed my children and husband goodnight. Then, the call came before my head hit the pillow. You had left this life to be with your Savior. And for that, I count it all joy.

(RSF/IFEX) - RSF hopes the authorities will quickly arrest the seven people who were convicted in absentia on 23 January 2008 of the 2001 murder of Radio Echo 2000 journalist Brignol Lindor, so that light can be shed on every aspect of this crime. Two other people were already sentenced on 12 December 2007 to life imprisonment for the murder.
"This particularly barbaric murder remained unpunished for many years, but justice finally began to be done at the end of 2007," RSF said. "This effort must be pursued so that the case can be definitively closed. As was to be expected, the seven suspects did not surrender themselves by the deadline set by the court. The police and judicial authorities must now do everything possible to arrest them. Victory over impunity is within reach."
The guilty verdict was handed down by Emmanuel Tataye, the chief judge of Petit-Goâve, the town where Lindor was stoned and hacked to death on 3 December 2001. The seven persons convicted were Maxi Zéphyr, Bernard Désamour, Tyrésias (also known as Téré), Fritznel Duvergé, Mackenzi, Belony Colin and Fritznel Doudoute (aka Lionel or Nènèl).
Originally indicted in 2002, they were all identified as members of an armed militia known as Domi nan Bwa ("Sleep in the Bush") that supported former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Judge Tataye ordered the confiscation of all their property and assets, and the suspension of their civil and political rights.
Of the four defendants who appeared in court in the December 2007 trial, two were convicted and given life sentences: Joubert Saint-Juste and Jean-Rémy Démosthène. One of the other two, Simon Cétoute, 56, was acquitted because it emerged that he had been arrested instead of his son, who had the same first name and who had recently died in the nearby town of Léogane.
And it emerged that the fourth defendant, Fritzner Doudoute, was mistaken at the time of his arrest for Fritznel Doudoute, one of the seven who has just been convicted in absentia. Fritzner Doudoute was not named in the 2002 indictment or in the arrest warrant issued in 2007. Nonetheless, witnesses identified him in court on 10 December 2007 as one of the people who participated in Lindor's murder. He has therefore remained in detention and is to be the subject of a new judicial investigation.
A judicial investigation could also be opened against Bony Dumay, Petit-Goâve deputy mayor at the time of the murder, who is alleged to have incited violence against Lindor on the eve of his murder. Dumay appeared as a witness in court on 10 December 2007.

Life Terms for Egypt Sexual Assaults
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 3:31PM ET / Published Jul. 16, 2014 8:35AM ET
Al Youm Al Saabi Newspaper/Reuters
Eight men have been sentenced to life in prison by Egyptian courts for sexual assaults during Tahrir Square protests in Cairo. These are the first sentences handed down since Egypt's government tightened laws on perpetrators of sexual assault. The sentences were related to four separate instances of sexual assault, including at the inauguration of President Abdel-Fatta al-Sisi. The issue of rising sexual violence in Egypt has become a major problem for the country's leaders.

Not quite what I was expecting from Linux, but still, I think we are getting there. I got notice of an opportunity to upgrade to 16.04 from 14.04 as I was installing updates to 14.04. I waited for the updates to install and then started on the upgrade. My opinion with Linux is that it seems to be better to do a clean install from an iso than upgrade an existing version. It takes AGES. Two hours later I had the upgrade installed. It had stalled when it was installing fonts and appeared to be quite dead. I left it for 15 minutes and it righted itself thank goodness. It was then very glitchy as it got going. The laptop would hang and then get going again and I was thinking I had not made a good decision. This is a Dell Studio 1558 i7 cpu Q740 1.73 GHz with 6 GB RAM. I can see where the problems are. Ubuntu 16.04 is probably built for something a bit faster. Graphics have been an issue. I can't use Shutter because it hangs the computer. I use the print screen button and then crop the picture which takes longer but at least I am not stalling my computer. I had Kaffeine running TV from a DVT stick and then it fell apart but, as you can see from the picture it was working fine again this morning. Speaking of which, when I rebooted this morning I had a lovely black screen with a colourful stripey rectangle to the right. Nice modern art but not an operating system. I shut it down, waited for a minute and then turned it back on. A magenta screen with a choice of 3 options. Oh good. Choices but none seemed to mean anything to me so I selected the one highlighted. Linux instinctively chooses the right option in my experience. So now my laptop has been running all morning. I have done any number of different things on it and have been to all sorts of different sites and used different applications. I still cannot use Shutter. Everything loads quickly, everything looks really nice. The graphics on this are well designed. I shall wait until the next version of 16.04 because I can say one thing for the Net, everyone gets on there and says what problems they are having. Coders and developers then have a way of fixing things which are going wrong and getting good information out. I have installed the updates. It appears to me running more smoothly and I am following what I have not already done on 16 things to do after installing Ubuntu 16.04. This sort of advice is very helpful. This version is running better on my Dell than 14.04 so I am hopeful the silly nonsense will be resolved. I hate living with the feeling I shall jam up the works just because I want to cut and paste!
It is the teenniest thing. I just happened to find this bluetooth adapter in its package when I was op shopping. Never overlook a bargain. It means I have options. I connected my Targus USB Ultra-Mini Bluetooth 2.00 Adapter with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) to my Ubuntu laptop and we were in business…sort of. It connected , lit up and I could send files from the laptop to my Samsung S5 phone . Sending files to the laptop from the phone was not working and no matter what I did ….nothing. That was the main reason I wanted the bluetooth connection. Yes, I can connect the wire to my phone and transfer things that way. Yes, I can use Dropbox which is very efficient when I have access to wifi. Bluetooth gives me a wireless option when I don't want to use wires and I don't have wifi access. It also means I can use it on my desktop computer. I googled to get help, as you do. I found this help on a Linux Mint tutorial and found by loading the Blueman programme from the Ubuntu Software Centre I could have full functionality with phone and laptop. The devices connected quickly and the files transferred easily both ways. I did not need to install the obext ftp.
How can you forget your own best friend? I have blogged about Ubuntu Tweak before when I was on Ubuntu 10. I installed the version for 14.04, cleaned up the Ubuntu installation and let Ubuntu Tweak preen my desktop. It's a very handy utility with numerous options which is very reliable. I used the instructions on unixmen to install it.

Pittsburgh got a president and a protest yesterday- US President Donald Trump and his family visited the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 people were killed in the deadliest attack on Jewish people in America's history.
His reception was mixed in a city where the mayor had asked him to delay the visit, until after all the funerals were held. Along with his wife, daughter and son-in-law, he placed stones and flowers at the memorials for each of the victims. Later, he visited wounded law enforcement officers at a nearby medical centre. Trump made no public remarks.
Outside the synagogue on the streets of Pittsburgh were the protesters. They held up signs and chanted, trying to make it clear that President Trump was not welcome. After this targeting of Jews, the President's previous lukewarm denouncement of white nationalism was at issue.
"President Trump you are not welcome in Pittsburgh unless you fully renounce white nationalism," one protestor shouted.
"We would like to ask President Trump to please stop with all of the hate speech," said protestor Jim Skiff.
"And to please try to bring our country together. The schism appears to be almost insurmountable, and it is only with great leadership that we are going to recover from this type of an event. And I think the people of this country are really weary of the whole dialectic. We want people to come together in love and peace, and truly make America kind again. That is what we would like."
And away from the protests and the President were the funerals.
Some of the 11 victims of the shooting were buried with friends and family turning out to share their grief.
Rabbi Jeffrey Myers is the spiritual leader for the Tree of Life synagoge. He was there when the gunman opened fire.
He told CBC News he had received messages of support from, "Jews, Muslims, Christians, Sikh- every religion imaginable. With support, and love, which is so reassuring to me. It tells us that here in Pittsburgh, love will triumph. Hate will not triumph."

Restoration of the 1 Millio...
Restoration of the 1 Millionth Sinkhole Destroyed Chevrolet Corvette
This upcoming February, it will have been five years since the sinkhole formed under the National Corvette Museum, swallowing up some of the most iconic Corvettes to have even been admired by the community. The news really made its way outside of the car community, leaving pretty much everybody around the world who caught wind of it in awe as they saw many valuable and highly sought after machines simply defenseless as they were swallowed up by the ground, causing big-time damage and rendering many of them beyond repair.
However, where they could find a place to begin building again, Corvette enthusiasts would do just that as they were able to rebuild several of the cars. While some of them were really damaged beyond having anything that could realistically be reconstructed in a reasonable manner, others, like the one millionth were decided that they would be brought back from dead and given attention to the point where it would once look like a new car again, just like the one that rolled over the assembly line all of those years ago.
If you follow along down in the video below, you'll be able to join in on the process of the millionth Corvette produced that has since been revived to become whole once again. It's a pretty sad state of affairs to see the condition of some of these things after they had been subjected to such a high fall and all that dirt, however, it is good to see that somebody cares enough to bring this thing back and give people something to appreciate. All of the Corvettes that had fallen can still be seen at the National Corvette Museum with some of them restored and others still covered in the dirt and destruction that they would meet on that fateful day.

Q: Python Mock Iterable (sort of) not working I am creating a test module for a Flask application. In this Resource's get() method, I fetch data from Mongo and then iterate through it to produce output. I am mocking the collection's find() method to return my iterable. The problem is that inside get() where I loop through the iterable, it skips as though it was empty. So I tried to loop through the iterable inside the test instead and I can successfully see the 3 dicts that it should contain.
Class properties:
class _TestAll(BaseAllReports):
    collection = MagicMock()
    bool_columns = ('bool1', 'bool2')
    string_set_columns = ('string1', 'string2')
    int_columns = ('int1', 'int2')
    text_columns = ('text1', 'text2')
    stats_columns = ('bool1', 'int1')

Resource.get():
def get(self):
    args = self.parser().parse_args()
    search = self.search_doc(args)

    docs = self.collection.find(search, {'_id': False})
    print(docs)

    ids, total_hurt, total_dead = set(), 0, 0
    stats = dict((x, {}) for x in self.stats_columns)
    stats['month'] = {}
    for d in docs:
        print('get', d)
        if d['id'] in ids:
            continue
        else:
            ids.add(d['id'])
        for s in self.stats_columns:
            if s in self.bool_columns:
                key = u'Sí' if d[s] else 'No'
            else:
                key = d[s]
            number = stats[s].get(key, 0) + 1
            stats[s][key] = number

        month_key = d['timestamp'].strftime('%b')
        month_summary = stats['month'].get(month_key, {'hurt': 0, 'dead': 0})
        month_summary['hurt'] += d['total_hurt']
        month_summary['dead'] += d['total_dead']
        stats['month'][month_key] = month_summary

        total_hurt += d['total_hurt']
        total_dead += d['total_dead']
    return {
        'incidents': len(ids),
        'involved': docs.count(),
        'affected': total_hurt + total_dead,
        'hurt': total_hurt,
        'dead': total_dead,
        'stats': stats
    }

Test setup:
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
    app.testing = True
    cls.app = app.test_client()
    cls.url = '/incidents'
    cls.url_with_key = '/incidents?key=testKeyHash'
    api.add_resource(_TestAll, cls.url)

Test:
def test_get(self):
    with patch('__main__._TestAll.collection.find') as search:
        answer = []
        for i in range(3):
            answer.append({
                'id': i,
                'bool1': True, 'bool2': False,
                'string1': 'test', 'string2': 'test',
                'int1': 1, 'int2': 2,
                'text1': 'test', 'text2': 'test',
                'timestamp': datetime.now(), 'total_hurt': 1, 'total_dead': 0})
        search.__iter__.return_value = answer
        search.return_value.count.return_value = len(answer)
        response = self.app.get(self.url_with_key)
        data = json.loads(response.data.decode())
        for i in search:
            print('test', i)
        print(data)
        self.assertEqual(_TestAll.collection.find.call_count, 1)
        self.assertIn('stats', data)
        for s in _TestAll.stats_columns:
            self.assertIn(s, data['stats'])

Terminal output:
<MagicMock name='find()' id='4423760080'>
('test', {'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 25, 13, 3, 9, 255912), 'text2': 'test', 'text1': 'test', 'int1': 1, 'int2': 2, 'id': 0, 'bool1': True, 'bool2': False, 'total_hurt': 1, 'total_dead': 0, 'string2': 'test', 'string1': 'test'})
('test', {'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 25, 13, 3, 9, 255923), 'text2': 'test', 'text1': 'test', 'int1': 1, 'int2': 2, 'id': 1, 'bool1': True, 'bool2': False, 'total_hurt': 1, 'total_dead': 0, 'string2': 'test', 'string1': 'test'})
('test', {'timestamp': datetime.datetime(2017, 5, 25, 13, 3, 9, 255928), 'text2': 'test', 'text1': 'test', 'int1': 1, 'int2': 2, 'id': 2, 'bool1': True, 'bool2': False, 'total_hurt': 1, 'total_dead': 0, 'string2': 'test', 'string1': 'test'})
{u'stats': {u'bool1': {}, u'int1': {}, u'month': {}}, u'involved': 3, u'dead': 0, u'hurt': 0, u'incidents': 0, u'affected': 0}

I don't understand why the Resource doesn't loop properly through the iterable but the test can't. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

A: When setting the __iter__ value, the line was
search.__iter__.return_value = answer

I didn't take into account the fact that filter() was callable. The right way to achieve what I was trying is:
search.return_value.__iter__.return_value = answer

Because the search Mock was being called, a new MagicMock was returned, which obviously didn't have the __iter__ property set. The reource's get() and the test function were accessing different mocks that's why it only worked on one of them.
The way I found out was by printing the mock inside the test method as well and getting a different mock id for it.

Fran Sheehan (n. 26 de marzo de 1949, Boston, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos) es un músico de rock estadounidense, mayormente conocido por ser el bajista original de la banda de rock Boston.

Carrera musical

Inicios
Desde los 5 años de edad, Sheehan comenzó a tocar al lado a su padre en varias presentaciones.  Después, Fran estudió en el Conservatorio Musical de Nueva Inglaterra para desarrollar su canto. Al pasar los años, Sheehan decidió abandonar la escuela para perseguir su sueño de formar una banda de rock and roll.

Fran pasó mucho tiempo tocando en bodas y eventos de esta clase hasta que conoció a Brad Delp, Barry Goudreau y Sib Hashian y formaron su propia banda.  Según el guitarrista Goudreau,  un día Sheehan y Delp lo invitaron a él y a Hashian para ejecutar el tema «Communication Breakdown» de Led Zeppelin en casa de Fran. En 1975, formaron Boston junto al guitarrista Tom Scholz.

Época con Boston
Sheehan grabó el bajo en los álbumes Boston y Don't Look Back, publicados en 1976 y 1978 respectivamente. Fran dejó la agrupación durante la grabación de Third Stage a principios de los años 1980, aunque recibió créditos en la canción «Cool the Engines» del disco antes mencionado.

Otras colaboraciones
Al abandonar Boston, Sheehan participó con varias bandas como músico invitado, por ejemplo con Sammy Hagar y su banda The Waboritas en el álbum en directo Live: Hallelujah del 2003.

El 19 de agosto de 2007, todos los miembros originales de Boston (Scholz, Goudreau, Sheehan, Hashian), así como el cantante Fran Cosmo,  fueron invitados a participar en un concierto realizado en el Bank of America Pavilion de Boston dedicado al vocalista Brad Delp, quién se suicidó en marzo en ese año.

Q: Trying to match a regular expression on a website using Mechanize and python I'm trying to eventually populate a google sheet from data I'm scraping from wikipedia. ( I'll deal with the robots.txt file later I'm just trying to figure out how to do this conceptually. My code is below. I'm trying to put the page in as a string and then run a regexp search my goal is to isolate the specs on the page and at least store them as a value but I'm having a problem searching the page keeps coming up as did not find
Be gentle I'm a noob - Thanks in advance for your help!
import mechanize
import re
import gspread

br = mechanize.Browser()

pagelist=["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S"]

wheelbase = ''
length =''
width= ''
height =''

pages=len(pagelist)
i=0

br.open(pagelist[0])

page = br.response()
print page.read()

pageAsaString = str(page.read())

match = re.search('Wheelbase',pageAsaString)
if match:
    print 'found', match.group()
else:
print 'did not find'

A: I get the page just fine - the reason that you're getting a message saying that the page couldn't be found is because your print 'did not find' block isn't properly indented. This matters in Python! Bump it over 4 spaces:
if match:
    print 'found', match.group()
else:
    print 'did not find'

There's one other thing. I'm not familiar with Mechanize, but you're just calling read() on the page, which exhausts it. So, when you read() the page in print page.read(), there isn't anything left to consume and assign to pageAsaString. You've already read to the end of the page! So you'll want to read the page and save it to a variable first. Check out the documentation for IO operations here.
After fixing the indentation and removing print page.read(), everything appeared to work just fine.
Since you're starting out, I highly recommend reading Dive Into Python. Good luck with your project!


Can I set a text field to use RGB?
After you have set the text field, use the "Field Scripting" tab to select the HTML Markup option. Then use the "Insert Code Snippet" menu to insert the Font tag. Paste the RGB hex value into its color="" tag.
For example, while RGB black values are R 0, G 0, B 0, it's corresponding hex value is #000000 (Photoshop, etc. and online RGB to Hex converters will provide the value for a specific RGB value).
Now place your cursor between the two font tags, and use the "Fields" menu to insert the field you are adjusting. In this example, the Name field is the one we are setting to RGB.

I think the last post was actually a bit rubbish, I didn't mention prices, atmosphere, the fact we had to wait a little while – in fact, from a critical perspective an all round rubbish review. So, in this post I'm giving it a lot more thought and attention, in particular to the story of the day.
Having reviewed which markets were around London on Sundays, Lauren and I headed from the South West of the city up to the East where we navigated ourselves to Columbia Road for the Flower Market. As we approached we could see many people heading in our direction and away from the stalls with gorgeous bouquets wrapped up in brown paper – I was eager to get my camera out as photographing flowers is one of my favourites. I love the colours, smells and their unique shapes.
As we got closer to the stalls, it was jam packed. People bustling past each other, market stall guys shouting out their deals on roses, tulips and more. Pointing, purchasing and stall owners counting their well earned english pounds. The busyness of the situation made me a little anxious to keep an eye on my belongings – my camera round my neck, my phone in my coat pocket.
It was in the split second whilst I was taking some photos of gorgeous pink and white roses that someone nabbed it out my pocket.
You know that panic when you think you've lost it and then you relax because it was just in the other pocket or your bag? Yep mine had actually gone. I couldn't believe it! I don't want to bring a dampener to this post, but more of a reminder that despite living in London and always being very careful with my technology and possessions, the professionals are always around. As soon as you're slightly distracted in a busy area – they will nab your stuff. We called my phone straight away but it had been switched off – gutted.
Ta Da – there we were, queuing at the the most famous bagel shop in London. They serve bagels 24 hours a day (up to 7,000 of them I read online) with a range of delicious fillings, including a traditional jewish salt beef. We grabbed one with mustard and filled our faces with it as we headed down Brick Lane. Despite there being plenty of other food stalls dotted around the street and inside large halls on the way – nothing was going to beat that bagel.
After filling up on delicious salty beef and dense bakery goodness we decided to explore further in the E postcode we didn't normal venture to. Our strolls took us nearer to the river and we headed down towards Wapping, and down the high street. Having never visited that area of London before, we were so surprised how quiet and residential it was. A few little shops, couple of restaurants and estate agents by the dozen – it was like we had stepped out of London and into a quiet village; anywhere in the UK!
22,000 steps later, we ended our tour of London at St. Katherine's Dock – just behind Tower Bridge. So many fancy boats and yachts resting in the dock and a range of the usual restaurants, Zizzi, Cafe Rouge and an unusual addition which looked like a fancy dress medieval experience – for the true historian.
An eventful day exploring East London – hoping to get back to the flower market soon to actually buy some flowers rather than lose anything – however really pleased with the photos I did get despite everything.
Where's your favourite place in London? Have you been to the flower market before?
I could stare at photos and read about flowers all day!! I love those pictures. And boy that bagels look good!
I can't believe you lost your phone though ): so sorry you had to go through that!
Thank you 🙂 I love the colours!
Yes really rubbish but good to point out as it is a common thing in any big city – so glad I've got insurance!

In San Vicente they detect a drug collection center that was going to Europe
Manta, MANABI
There were more than 320 brick-type packages that were found inside eight jute sacks inside a house in the San Vicente canton. The National Police considered that this functioned as a collection center for alkaloids destined for European countries.
The operation was called "Carpathians", in relation to the mountainous system of Eastern Europe, close to countries such as Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and others.
The weight of the drug exceeded 300 kilos, according to police officers. This operation had an investigation that began more than six months ago.
They seize more than three tons of drugs in Manabí
No one was arrested in the operation. Patricio Almendariz, chief of subzone 13 of the Manabí Police, indicated that this work was coordinated between the Anti-Drug Investigation Unit of the National Police in coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Intelligence Unit with European Coordination (UIACE), they managed to prevent this shipment from reaching to the Old Continent.
The police chief pointed out that in Ecuador the drug would cost $7.1 million, but if the alkaloid reached Europe, the price of more than 300 kilos of cocaine hydrochloride would exceed $22.4 million.
Manabí court confirms innocence of 18 defendants for drug trafficking in apparent connection with the Sinaloa cartel
This is the first drug shipment that the Police seized in Manabí this year.
At the end of 2022, about four tons of drugs were seized in a warehouse in Montecristi; The only person who was arrested in that operation was found dead by alleged hanging in the Bahía de Caráquez prison.
"Once again we reaffirm our professional commitment in the fight against organized crime, and those who are engaged in drug trafficking and other related activities," said Almendariz. (YO)

This tofu originated in Myanmar, formerly Burma. It is made from chickpeas rather than soybeans. Has much less fat and is nutritious. It has a texture similar to tofu and can be made with different firmness. Chickpea tofu can even be made into dumplings.
It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.
This recipe is from a vegan Ethiopian cookbook but many other recipe and methods are available online. Which method used depends on what tofu firmness you are after. Tofu dumplings can also be made. The chickpea tofu pictured is spicy as I added Ethiopian Berbere, a chili pepper blend, to the mix.
-When the mixture suddenly thickens, reduce heat to medium and continue to whisk constantly for another 5 minutes.
-Pour or spoon the mixture into an 8 inch baking pan and let rest undisturbed for 15 minutes. It will firm up quickly as it cools. once cool, transfer to the fridge until thoroughly cold and firm. About 1 hour. It will continue to firm up the longer it rests.
-If you prepare the chickpea tofu in advance, cover it tightly and it will last up to 3 days in the fridge. if any water accumulates, pour it off before using.
The Ethiopian recipe and method I used makes a very firm tofu. For a more traditional approach, an at home method replicating the Traditional Shan Tofu in the video link above, see Peaceful Cuisine.
Wow Fascinating ! Gracoman ..
I use chickpea flour for frying because it is non-porous and the Evoo does not seep through the product.
What is a substitute for this ?
Does not exist in the Mediterranean ( Spain, Italy, Southern France or Portugal and I doubt Greece).
Thanks .. Have a lovely day and autumn.
Yes, chickpea flour has many and varied uses. It is always in my pantry.
Berbere is a chili spice blend. A key ingredient in the cuisines of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is available at most spice shops but you can also make your own if you have access to the proper ingredients. I prefer and order the berbere blended and imported from Ethiopia by Brundo.
Berbere isn't required in this tofu. I usually have some in my spice cabinet and add for additional flavor and a bit of heat but any chili blend will do if you like that sort of thing.
Many recipes for Burmese tofu are available online. Some use flavoring ingredients like vegetable bouillon. Mine has no added fat and is not fried in any oil. I find most recipes devoid of added oil(s) or other fats benefit greatly from added heat so in it goes.
As an aside, I read those two African countries, Ethiopia and Eritrea, recently declared an armistice. I wonder if it is still in effect.
Shall check it out ..
We have several international supermarkets which carry a wide variety of spices from foreign lands.
Shall put on my list ..
*** Chickpea flour is wonderful for dusting my fish and then sautéing .. I use it for Spanish Fresh Anchovies known as Boquerones ..
Anchovies are the salted Boquerones ..
So crisp and light .. And not greasy !!!!
