I love my bagels. My wife loves my bagels. People love my bagels. I've often been asked for the recipe for them. So I'll share here.Be forewarned: the few times I've given my recipe, people tended to freak out. "It's so long!" This is actually more a process than a recipe, and it took decades to perfect. I started with the "Les Bagels de Jo Goldenberg" recipe from Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads, but it took a lot of experimentation and modification to get the results I wanted. The steps and explanation are all part of what it takes to make a bagel better than you'll get at a bagel shop. It is not hard, but it does matter how you do it!
Also note, if you are gluten-free, you really can't make good bagels. Understanding gluten was critical to learning how to make the bagels I wanted.
Better bagels than you'll find at the bagel shop! actually more a process than a recipe, and it took decades to perfect. It took a lot of experimentation get the results I wanted. The steps and explanation are all part of what it takes to make a bagel better than you'll get at a bagel shop. It is not hard, but it does matter how you do it!
In a large mixing bowl, put 3C of flour, gluten, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well with your hand, and make a well in the middle of the mixture.
Add the hot water to the well, then, using your hands, begin to add flour from the edges, bringing it on top of the water, and pushing it into the water from the sides. This avoids "club fist" too early.
Keep mixing until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. Slowly add more four until it becomes firm and dry enough to knead (a little wetter than you're used to if you are a fan of James Beard, a bit drier than if you're a fan of William Alexander or Peter Reinhart).
Turn the dough out onto a well floured counter (or a marble or granite slab, which is my preference). Knead with a strong push/fold/turn motion and rhythm for at least 13 minutes. When the developing gluten gets difficult to push out, periodically lift the dough ball up a few feet and slam it down into the counter. This helps line up the shorter gluten strands so they can form longer strands.
You are done kneading when it can pass the "bakers' window pane test:" pinch off a portion of dough and stretch it into as thin a sheet as you can. It should get so thin it is translucent before it tears.
Let the dough rest while you wash the bowl out with water (but no soap!), dry, and coat with a little bit of oil or butter (I prefer olive oil).
The time it takes to do that should allow the dough to relax enough that you can now form it into a ball.
Place the ball in the bowl, and turn it to coat lightly with the olive oil. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until double - usually about an hour with "rapid rise" yeast.
Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees, and cover two baking sheets with corn meal.
Fill a dutch oven 2/3 full with water and the additional sugar, and place on a stove burner over medium-high heat.
Turn your dough out onto your floured counter, and give it a couple of gentle kneads.
Cut the dough into 10 approximately equal sized pieces.
Form each piece into a ball by pulling the sides to the middle of the bottom and tucking in. You should form a "skin" of gluten over the surface of the ball. Line each ball up in order as you go.
Starting with the first ball (it should have rested enough by now), form into bagels: Pick up the ball, and gently flatten it a little. Pinch your thumb and middle finger gently through the center to form a hole, then begin to work it bigger. Eventually, I usually end up with my index and middle finger of each hand through the hole, spinning the bagel like a bicycle wheel until it's as big as it will get without tearing. Again, set down the bagels in order.
By the time you reach your last bagel, the sugar water should have reached a bare simmer. Turn the heat down to maintain this.
Boiling bagels is a bit of a misnomer. You simmer them. Starting with the first bagel you shaped, put two at a time in the simmering water. If your timing is right, they should sink to the bottom of the pan, but begin to float in about 10 seconds. If they float immediately you were too slow and the yeast has already risen them too much. But they'll still turn out better than a bagel shop, so keep going.
After 30 seconds, flip the bagels over. After another 30 seconds, remove the bagels to a clean towel to drain.
Repeat this process, moving the bagels from the towel to a baking sheet when you flip the ones simmering, until you have finished all of the bagels. While you are counting seconds for simmering bagels, separate your egg white into a small bowl. Add a splash of cold water, and beat until foamy.
Use a basting brush to brush the egg wash onto each bagel. Be sure to get inside the hole (which will have closed up much smaller now).
Now, you can debate between leaving them plain or topping. If topping, sprinkle your choice of toppings on each bagel (of course, you can top each one differently). I like a lot of seeds on my bagels, and find that order matters. Start with kosher salt, then the biggest thing you're adding, progressing to the smallest. This makes sure the large seeds have a place to stick, then the smaller ones fit in the spaces in-between (like the parable about filling a jar). So my normal topping order is: Kosher salt, fennel seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and chia seeds.
Bake for about 22 minutes. They're done when brown and shiny. When I bake them in the wood stove oven, I have to cover them loosely with aluminum foil about 1/2 way through so the tops don't burn before they're done. I had to rotate and swap racks with the baking sheets in my previous three ovens, but that's not needed in my current one. So pay attention in yours (as the saying goes, never trust an oven).
You'll want to eat your bagels as soon as they come out of the oven, but they're still baking! Let cool for about 5 minutes, then remove them to cooling racks. If you try to remove them too early, they'll squish a deflate a bit. Too late and they're liable to stick to the baking sheet.
Let cool at least another 15 minutes if you can't wait (I usually can't) or want to eat them warm. Otherwise, they're best after about an hour of cooling.

Homediagnostic-criteriaWhat are the UK diagnostic criteria of brain death?
What are the UK diagnostic criteria of brain death?
The UK diagnostic criteria of brain death
A. Preconditions for considering a diagnosis of brain death:
The patient is deeply comatose
There must be no suspicion that coma is due to depressant drugs, such as narcotics, hypnotics, tranquillizers
Hypothermia has been excluded-rectal temperature must exceed 35° C
There is no profound abnormality of serum electrolytes, acid-base balance or blood glucose concentration, and any metabolic or endocrine cause of coma has been excluded
The patient is maintained on a ventilator because spontaneous respiration has been inadequate or has ceased. Drugs, including neuromuscular blocking agents, must have been excluded as a cause of the respiratory failure
The diagnosis of the disorder leading to brain death has been firmly established. There must be no doubt that the patient is suffering from irremediable structural brain damage.
B. Test for confirming brain death:
All brain-stem reflexes are absent-
The pupils are fixed and non-reactive to light
The corneal reflexes are absent
The vestibulo-ocular reflexes are absent- there is no eye movement following the injection of 20 ml of ice-cold water into external auditory meatus in turn
There are no motor responses to adequate stimulation within the cranial nerve distribution
There is no gag reflex and no reflex response to a suction catheter in the trachea
No respiratory movement occurs when the patient is disconnected from the ventilator long enough to allow the carbon dioxide tension to rise above the threshold for stimulating respiration (PaCO2 must reach 6.7 kPa or 50 mmHg)
N.B: The diagnosis of brain death should be made by two doctors of a specified status and experience. The tests are usually repeated after a short interval to allow blood gases to normalize before brain death is finally confirmed

Meg Hillier: Hampered civil service leads to policy failure
Emily Twinch
The high turnover of civil servants and their limited freedom to challenge ministers is responsible for a lot of government policy failure, the chair of the Public Accounts Committee has told Public Finance.
Meg Hillier said civil servants needed the "freedom to speak about the challenges and value for money" of policies, following the release of her annual report of the PAC's work this morning.
"Our experience over the last year suggests that turnover of senior civil servants continues to be a concern," Hillier wrote in her report.
The Labour MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch told PF this morning there had been a "run" of civil servants telling her committee that they "have to say what the minister wants me to say".
She talked about a fear amongst Whitehall officials that speaking out against what a minister wanted them to do could be "career wrecking". She said there was a lot of "moving sideways to move up" in the civil service.
"What we would like to see is a [civil service] that rewards long service in a role," she told PF.
"[Civil servants] should not be embarrassed to challenge [a minister]".
She added: "We [the PAC] love witnesses who tell us what keeps them awake at night."
The report also said: "Rapid senior staff turnover results in a lack of embedded knowledge and expertise in government."
Hillier mentioned universal credit and the Green Deal as examples of where delivery could have been improved with more continuity of civil services officers.
The Green Deal is a defunct, relatively short-lived government policy that gave loans for energy saving measures on properties.
Hillier's report pointed out there has been six 'senior responsible owners' of universal credit – which is rolling six benefits into one.
A 'senior responsible owner' is the civil servant with the prime responsibility for overseeing a project, to ensure it is delivered on time and to budget.
She said the Green Deal and universal credit were also examples of where the policy could have worked better on the ground if they had been thought through before implementation.
"Ministers need to think more practically," she stated.
Hillier was also critical of sustainability and transformation plans – designed to get local authorities and the NHS working more closely together across an area.
She told PF the structure of STPs was "confusing" and "haphazard" with people not quite sure "who is responsible".
"There's a lack of transparency and accountability [with STPs]", she said.
Her report was also scathing of the government "selling the taxpayers' silver", giving the example of the Ministry of Defence's sell-off of the armed forces housing to Annington House on a 999-year lease.
The MoD lost out on up to £4.2bn after it sold 55,000 homes to the private company only to see the houses soar in value.
Hillier said if the government was going to sell assets it needed to "factor in the long-term impact – and it's not just about cash – it's about the service".

Princess Petalbloom and the Lolligator make a combined attack on Lord Malvoggar, uniting the power of sparkles, pixie dust, and four-inch crocodile teeth.
She then stands up on the town's fountain to claim the prize that Malvoggar dropped - the Chicken Wing of Spicy Chaos. Adorribles have the Chaos Wing.
Sir Bentley, exasperated, gets up from the ground where he was shoved last turn. Realizing he's in reach of not only his own lance, but Malvoggar's as well, he picks them both up. "Princess," he growls, "I don't think you understand..."
"Just how HUNGRY I am!" His spinning lance maneuver slices Princess Petalbloom into brightly colored ribbons.
Claiming the chicken wing for himself, he stands in admiration for a moment... then eats it. The Star Knights eat the Chaos Wing.
The Crimson Eye Infiltrator rolls her vehicle right past the Lolligator and the Chaos Chicken, somehow managing to avoid taking damage from either. She then waits for the Thief to hop on so they can ride out together. This is way more than either of them signed up for.
The thief, however, has other ideas. It would impress the Eye himself if he brought back a Chaos Chicken in one piece! He kickflips onto its back, and rolls to take control of it, steering it for the horizon.
He underestimates the incredible willpower of a Chaos Chicken, and it pulls him into its being, growing in size, strength, and its collection of cool hats.
The Lolligator, grieving over the loss of Princess Petalbloom, shambles over to the remains of the pagoda, and unites with the pink eldritch bricks to become a hulking mass of cuteness and cannons.
It then proceeds to do what comes the most naturally to alligators, and rips the head off the Chaos Chicken in one savage throwdown.
The Crimson Eye Infiltrator decides there's no good countermeasure against the Lolligator now that it's consumed the flesh of Chaos Chicken.
They ride off into the sunset while dramatic music plays. They'll live for another mission - and to report back to the Eye on what's happened here today. Action must be taken or the Adorribles will become an interstellar menace.
The Lolligator roars in delight as it eats the eyes off the Chaos Chicken's head. Then a message sent through the Adorrible parts of its mind take hold, and it begins a ritual it doesn't know.
Completing the circle, the Lolligator is whisked away into the Cutieverse, where the Chaos Chicken's head shall prove of great use to the Eldorables.
The shopkeep goes home and starts polishing his store goods. "This might not be good for business."
There's a massive swath of bricks and bodies spread from corner to corner over the map, but especially in the castle courtyard.
Fallen minifigs and the living flesh of the Adorribles are spread everywhere.
The castle walls are blown out and most of the hay is gone.
And the courtyard is a mess of fire, hay, castle debris, a broken cart, five bodies, and some giant carrots.
Overall, really well played everyone! Thanks to everyone who participated! You left the board in a satisfactory state of utter carnage.
Excellent battle. I've missed seeing your unique photography, its truly a feast for the eyes.
Also RIP Crimson Eye Thief, you were the most epic.

Tag: water on Venus
Lava Flows on Venus Suggest That the Planet Was Never Warm and Wet
Venus is often referred to as "Earth's sister planet", owing to the number of similarities between them. Like Earth, Venus is a terrestrial (aka. rocky) planet and it resides with our Sun's Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ). And for some time, scientists have theorized that billions of years ago, Venus had oceans on its surface and was habitable – aka. not the hot and hellish place it is today.
However, after examining radar data on the Ovda Fluctus lava flow, a team scientists at the Lunar and Planetary Institute concluded that the highlands on Venus are likely to be composed of basaltic lava rock instead of granite. This effectively punches a hole in the main argument for Venus having oceans in the past, which is that the Ovda Regio highlands plateau formed in the presence of water.

Venus Could Have Supported Life for Billions of Years
In 1978, NASA's Pioneer Venus (aka. Pioneer 12) mission reached Venus ("Earth's Sister") and found indications that Venus may have once had oceans on its surface. Since then, several missions have been sent to Venus and gathered data on its surface and atmosphere. From this, a picture has emerged of how Venus made the transition from being an "Earth-like" planet to the hot and hellish place it is today.
It all started about 700 million years ago when a massive resurfacing event triggered a runaway Greenhouse Effect that caused Venus's atmosphere to become incredibly dense and hot. This means that for 2 to 3 billion years after Venus formed, the planet could have maintained a habitable environment. According to a recent study, that would have been long enough for life to have emerged on "Earth's Sister".

Theory proposes that Venus could have been habitable, but a large ocean slowed down its rotation, killing it
There's no sense in sugar-coating it – Venus is a hellish place! It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, with atmospheric temperatures that are hot enough to melt lead. The air is also a toxic plume, composed predominantly of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid rain clouds. And yet, scientists theorize that Venus was once a much different place, with a cooler atmosphere and liquid oceans on its surface.
Unfortunately, this all changed billions of years ago as Venus experienced a runaway greenhouse effect, changing the landscape into the hellish world we know today. According to a NASA-supported study by an international team of scientists, it may have actually been the presence of this ocean that caused Venus to experience this transition in the first place.

The Next Generation of Exploration: Back to Venus with VERITAS
In February of 2014, NASA's Discovery Program asked for proposals for the their 13th mission. Last week, five semifinalist were selected from the original 27 submissions for further investigation and refinement. Of the possible missions that could be going up, two involve sending a robotic spacecraft to a planet that NASA has not been to in decades: Venus!
The first is the DAVINCI spacecraft, which would study the chemical composition of Venus' atmosphere. Meanwhile, the proposed VERITAS mission – or The Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy spacecraft – would investigate the planet's surface to determine just how much it has in common with Earth, and whether or not it was ever habitable.
In many respects, this mission would pick up where Magellan left off in the early 1990s. Having reached Venus in 1990, the Magellan spacecraft (otherwise known as the Venus Radar Mapper) mapped nearly the entire surface with an S-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and microwave radiometer. From the data obtained, NASA scientists were able to make radar altimeter measurements of the planet's topography.

These measurements revolutionized our understanding of Venus' geology and the geophysical processes that have shaped the planet's surface. In addition to revealing a young surface with few impact craters, Magellan also showed evidence of volcanic activity and signs of plate tectonics.
However, the lack of finer resolution imagery and topography of the surface hampered efforts to answer definitively what role these forces have played in the formation and evolution of the surface. As a result, scientists have remained unclear as to what extent certain forces have shaped (and continue to shape) the surface of Venus.
With a suite of modern instruments, the VERITAS spacecraft would produce global, high-resolution topography and imaging of Venus' surface and produce the first maps of deformation and global surface composition. These include an X-band radar configured as a single pass radar interferometer (known as VISAR) which would be coupled with a multispectral NIR emissivity mapping capability.

Using these, the VERITAS probe will be able to see through Venus' thick clouds, map the surface at higher resolution than Magellan, and attempt to accomplish three major scientific goals: get a better understanding of Venus' geologic evolution; determine what geologic processes are currently operating on Venus (including whether or not active volcanoes still exist); and find evidence for past or present water.
Suzanne Smrekar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is the mission's principal investigator, while the JPL would be responsible for managing the project. As she explained to Universe Today via email:
"VERITAS' objectives are to reveal Venus' geologic history, determine how active it is, and search for the fingerprints of past and present water. The overarching question is 'How Earthlike is Venus?' As more and more exoplanets are discovered, this information is essential to predicting whether Earth-sized planets are more likely to resemble Earth or Venus."

In many ways, VERITAS and DAVINCI represent a vindication for Venus scientists in the United States, who have not sent a probe to the planet since the Magellan orbiter mission ended in 1994. Since that time, efforts have been largely focused on Mars, where orbiters and landers have been looking for evidence of past and present water, and trying to piece together what Mars' atmosphere used to look like.
But with Discovery Mission 13 and its five semi-finalists, the focus has now shifted onto Venus, near-Earth objects, and a variety of asteroids. As John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, explained:
"The selected investigations have the potential to reveal much about the formation of our solar system and its dynamic processes. Dynamic and exciting missions like these hold promise to unravel the mysteries of our solar system and inspire future generations of explorers. It's an incredible time for science, and NASA is leading the way."
Each investigation team will receive $3 million to conduct concept design studies and analyses. After a detailed review and evaluation of the concept studies, NASA will make the final selections by September 2016 for continued development. This final mission (or missions) that are selected will launcd by 2020 at the earliest.

Retro Respawn – WWE WrestleMania X8 (Nintendo GameCube)
by Michael Fitzgerald December 11, 2018 December 11, 2018
I've still yet to get internet in my flat (BT Open Reach can suck my ridges, by the way), so I've been turning to my retro games consoles again as a way to stave off boredom during the cold winter nights. I've been focusing more on my GameCube this week, a console that I don't comparatively show as much love to as I perhaps should. I don't hate the console or anything like that, but I do think it represented a big missed opportunity for Nintendo to really compete with Sony and Microsoft in the sixth gen, despite the fact that the games for it were hardly terrible, as this week's game "WWE WrestleMania X8" shows.
The GameCube was yet another example of Nintendo handicapping itself in the console market by making a bad decision when it came to what format to use. With the N64, the mistake was using cartridges instead of CDs, whilst with the GameCube, the mistake was using mini-discs instead of full size ones. This almost immediately made most multiplatform games for the console automatically inferior to the PS2 and Xbox. It also meant games exclusive to the console were limited to what they could do right from the off, which meant that a lot of them felt overly trimmed down sometimes. The first-party content from Nintendo itself was to the usual high standard you'd expect, of course, but the rest of the console's game library felt somewhat lacking by comparison (with some notable exceptions).
WWE WrestleMania X8 (named after a real WWE Pay-Per-View event from 2002) does a good job of providing enjoyable arcade thrills, but when put up against a game like WWE SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth on the PS2, it doesn't provide anywhere close to the same amount of longevity. This owes mostly to the limitations of the hardware, but it's also down to a truly barren creation suite and a distinct lack of satisfying single-player modes.
Possibly the best thing about the game would be the gameplay, which is modeled somewhat on the controls from the much beloved THQ/AKI wrestling games on the N64. Each wrestler has a coloured rectangle next to their name, which changes colour as the match progresses. If you do well in the match, then your rectangle will start to change colour from yellow to red, which in turn makes your wrestler stronger and more likely to kick out of pinning attempts/escape steel cages, etc. However, if your wrestler starts taking a kicking, the colour will change from different shades of green all the way down to blue, which will make you far more susceptible to being defeated.
Anyone who has played the N64 games will recognise this as it mirrors the "spirit/attitude" meters from those games, which would also change colour depending on how well/badly you were doing. One bonus for WrestleMania X8 though is that your finishing move isn't based around your spirit, with you earning finishing moves by filling up a bar under your name. Once the bar is full, you can then deliver a punishing finisher at any time of your choosing, regardless of how well you are doing in the match itself. This is different from the N64 games where you could only perform your finisher once you had filled your spirit meter and flicked the analogue stick, which then gave you a limited time to deliver the move before the meter ran out.
This does add an element of strategy to the game as it allows you to store up a finishing move and deliver it when you choose to, which can then allow you to turn the tide when you're at your weakest. The other way the control system mirrors the N64 games is that you can perform both strong and weak strikes by either tapping or holding down the "B" button on the GameCube controller. Stronger strikes will do more damage but also take longer to perform successfully, whereas the lighter strikes have a stronger chance of succeeding but will, at best, merely stun your opponent briefly.
Pressing the "A" button a different direction on the analogue stick will lead to your wrestler performing different grapple moves, but unlike the N64 games and later games in the series, your wrestlers can't perform any strong grapple moves. This means that a wrestler can only hit five moves from the front and another five from behind, which leads to some of them having disproportionately powerful move sets.
For instance, Undertaker has both a Choke Slam and Tombstone Pildedriver as just normal moves that he can hit right from the start with just a push of the A button, whilst someone like Kurt Angle has a Fireman's Takedown for the same input. This leads to some wrestlers being ridiculously overpowered due to having two or three big grapple moves out of their total of ten, whilst others might only have their finisher and a collection of smaller ones to retaliate with. Thankfully, games that came after WrestleMania X8 allowed for both strong and quick grapples, meaning that everyone at least had one big move they could deliver in normal play.
On the whole, WWE WrestleMania X8 is a reasonably enjoyable game to play and provides an arcade-like experience. Matches can literally end in seconds if you hit a quick flurry in the early going. My friend, Adam, assured me that he won a hardcore match over Ric Flair as Rhyno once by literally hitting a spinebuster right from the bell and pinning him straight away for three. Epic matches don't tend to be a thing you'll experience very often, which makes the game enjoyable from a multiplayer perspective but leaves it feeling a bit sparse from a single-player one.
Indeed, the single-player experience in general in WrestleMania X8 is sorely lacking, with no season mode to speak of, other than a mode where you can win individual titles. This mode is little more than a series of matches with no cutscenes or storylines. You win a few singles matches, a few triple threat matches and then a couple of fatal four-ways before having a match with the champion, and that's it. No cutscenes, no storylines and the wrestlers don't even wear the belts down to the ring when you finally win one.
This gets incredibly boring after you win a couple of belts, with the only motivation being that winning each belt allows you to unlock some hidden wrestlers. The multi-person matches are also ridiculously annoying, with the computer alternating between teaming up to work you over and standing around gormlessly whilst one of the other computer-controlled characters wins. The number of times the second computer-controlled wrestler would just stand there whilst their CPU counterpart would climb a ladder or escape a cage, not moving a muscle to stop them and thus costing THEMSELVES the match in the process, would have led a shy, bald Buddhist to reflect and plan a mass murder.
Roster-wise, the game was massively out of date when it came out, but that's less of an issue when you look at it from a retro perspective. Most of the roster that took part on the WrestleMania X8 card is present, with noticeable exceptions being Diamond Dallas Page, Billy and Chuck, and Jazz, who were the European, Tag Team and Women's champions, respectively, when the show took place. Despite this, it was deemed unimportant to include them, with it instead being imperative to include lower card tag team Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert, who didn't even compete on the event.
Graphically, the game looks decent, with some of the wrestlers looking a bit puffy but generally well designed, and the arenas also look nice. Things look a little dark sometimes, and the game feels like it could have used a splash of colour here or there, but for the most part, I'd say WrestleMania X8 looks very nice, especially for a game from 2002. One downside is that quite a few of the wrestlers don't have their real entrance themes, whereas they did in games like SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth for the PS2. It feels like a cost cutting measure. For instance, Rob Van Dam doesn't have his "One of a Kind" song from Breaking Point, whilst the New World Order don't have their traditional "Rockhouse" theme.
The lack of real entrance themes, complete with the old WWF scratch logo being all over the game despite the new WWE logo being on the front of the box, just makes the game feel shoddy and cheap. That would probably be my biggest criticism of WrestleMania X8. It does a lot of things right and has the makings of a decent game, but it just feels like a lot of shortcuts were taken at times and that the game just didn't have the same effort lavished on it that something like SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth did. It just adds to the general cheapskate feel that was oozing from the GameCube when it came to anything that wasn't first-party or Resident Evil. The console was a symphony of bad decisions, which WrestleMania X8 personifies quite well.
That being said, you can get WrestleMania X8 for practically buttons, with my copy costing a whopping £1 from Retro-Reload in Stockport. Second hand game stores are practically giving copies of this game away, and for a single quid you'll more than get your money's worth, especially if you have some mates around for some multiplayer action. WrestleMania X8 is not what I'd call a good game, but it certainly has its plus points, and it's cheap enough that it's probably worth a curiosity purchase if you don't already have it and feel like increasing your GameCube collection.

TIMP can be used for recording the entering and exiting of company employees. It is a card printing time clock, a tool that is today still very effective within medium/small companies. TIMP represents the first step from manual registration of employee attendance towards more innovative technologies.
When using printing cards, clarity of information is imperative: TIMP accomplishes this with its ability to print information using two different colors (red/black) and by representing the day of the week as a number as well as with letters.
TIMP offers a great range of options: from choosing between a 12 or 24 hour time base, to indicating the minutes in sexagesimal, centesimal or decimal format, from recording on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, according to the type of card used, to the option of changing the time to daylight savings time manually or automatically.
Table mounted, card-printing timeclock. Prints one or two colors. Independent. Ideal for recording arrivals and departures in medium/small environments.
TIMP is a time clock that prints on cards and is programmable. Therefore, it easily adapted to any needs.
Does this solution replace the attendance register?

È enumerato Giovanni III dalla Chiesa ortodossa e dalla Chiesa cattolica perché riconoscono Giovanni Talaia come Giovanni I, e Giovanni II dalla Chiesa copta che respinge Talaia.

Biografia
Era un monaco che visse una vita da eremita nel deserto fino alla sua consacrazione a papa e patriarca di Alessandria il 29 maggio 505.

Godeva di fama per i suoi scritti contenenti sermoni agiografici.

Era contemporaneo dell'imperatore romano d'oriente Anastasio I, che favoriva quelle chiese che andavano contro le decisioni del Concilio di Calcedonia, e di Severo di Antiochia, massimo esponente del miafisismo in Siria. Quest'ultimo scrisse un messaggio a Giovanni riguardo alla natura di Cristo. Giovanni rispose con un messaggio dove testimoniava l'unione dell'essenza di Dio e la trinitarietà delle sue persone. Proclamò che per incarnazione dell'eterno Figlio di Dio, la natura divina e la natura umana si erano fuse diventando un'unica natura, senza separazione, mescolanza o confusione. Anatemizzò coloro che separavano le due nature, quelli che le confondevano, coloro che dicevano che il Cristo crocifisso sofferente era solamente un uomo e quelli che affermavano che anche la natura divina soffrì e morì. Disse che la fede ortodossa doveva professare che Dio Figlio soffrì con la carne con cui si era unito.

After inspirational details of his selfless actions spread on social media, Stephen Jones, the homeless hero of the Manchester attacks, will be rewarded with a place to live by the end of the week. The home will by provided by millionaire businessman David Sullivan and his son David Sullivan Jr., who took to Twitter to ask for help in finding Jones following news of Jones' heroism.
"Me and dad want to rent the homeless man in manchester a house for 6 months to help him get on his feet," Sullivan Jr. tweeted on the day following the attack. "If anyone can help us get in touch much much appreciated. Such a self-less act needs rewarding. Please tag anyone who can help us." Less than three hours later, he returned to share that Jones had been found, adding, "Shows the power for good social media has. Thank you to all those involved, you have helped change a mans life."
On the day of the attack, Jones, along with another homeless man by the name of Chris Parker, were near the entrance of the Manchester Arena asking passersby for money. When the blast went off, both men initially ran but returned upon hearing the screams of women and kids. Parker used a shirt from the merchandise stand to wrap a little girl's injuries and held an older woman in his arms as she died; Jones described pulling out nails from the faces and arms of children.
It's just instinct to go and help if someone needed your help. ... It had to be done. You had to help. If I didn't help, I wouldn't be able to live with myself for walking away and leaving kids like that.
Fundraisers were soon set up for both men, with Jones' campaign on JustGiving receiving over $57,000 in donations so far. "I'm overwhelmed by the support and help, and that people have been setting up money for me," he told the Daily Mail. "It's incredible." Representatives for JustGiving have stated that the company is working on making sure all funds raised for Manchester victims go to the correct parties.
The Sullivans received some criticism after photos emerged this week of Jones sitting near a trash can in the rain. In a series of tweets, Sullivan Jr. insisted that Jones was not still homeless and was in fact staying in a hotel until a more permanent living arrangement was finalized, going as far as to call Jones and post a video of the conversation.
People have gotta realize — obviously I've told you I've got no clothes. I'm coming from the hotel — I'm carrying my bag with me with all my belongings. I'm gonna look homeless, do you understand what I mean? These people have gotta realize things don't happen overnight.
Hopefully Jones will be in his new home and in building a better life soon.


Squirrels and birds began to gather delicious nuts and berries to save for their children, as winter began to draw in. Robins with large, furry, red chests clutched the branches tightly with their small, sharp claws and chirped sweetly. The soft, white balls of rabbits rolled out of their burrows and spikey hedgehogs with damp, moist noses crawled cautiously out into the daylight. All the secret wood animals gathered outside to wait for the Winter Queen to arrive.
In a matter of moments, the beautiful Winter Queen arrived. Her snow white horses pulled sharply to a halt and she stepped out, her long, draping gown billowing around her. A small, teased, sprayed, silver-blonde bob sat neatly on top of her head. Her shimmering eyes glimmered and sparkled as she let out a shiny, gleaming beam which practically wrapped around her head, she slowly raised her ivory wand; which had a peculiar diamond stuck on the top, and immediately, the diamond sent out billions of dazzling rainbows across the sky.
A few minutes later, small snowflakes began to drift softly downwards and the Winter Queen's horses snorted out chilly frost. With a shriek of delight, the animals danced about happily and in the blink of an eye, the whole wood was carpeted in an astounding blanket of snow. Suddenly, the Winter Queen, quickly so that nobody noticed, winked at me with a glittery eye. I winked back, delighted. As I looked up, I saw that the tops of the firs were covered in cold snow and the smell of rich, tasty pastry began to fill my nostrils from a town nearby. When I looked back down, I saw the bouncing deer bounding around, their hooves crunching in the snow, leaving fresh footsteps on the path.

AMERICANA | Dan Weber
by LEAH CREARY
Dan Weber is relatively new to songwriting, but you wouldn't know it from his music. Weber has lived a very full life — and, therefore, has many stories to tell. That storytelling aspect is the basis for his music, brought to life through his lively country roots. Weber cites legendary country and folk musicians such as Johnny Cash, Harry Chapin, and Jim Croce as his childhood influences. That level of insight accounts for both Weber's down-home, traditional approach toward making music and his love for narrative-driven lyrics. Weber has a knack for writing simple, straight-forward songs that will leave the listener with both a stirring sense of adventure and the deep sense of nostalgia that comes with returning home again.
Dan Weber performs Tuesday, June 4, XX p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $XX. Abilenebarandlounge.com.

Timo Kalevi Nummelin (born 7 September 1948) is a Finnish former professional football and ice hockey player who played in SM-liiga (ice hockey) and the predecessor of Veikkausliiga (football).

He played for TPS both in ice hockey and in football, and also has won the Finnish Championship in both sports (ice hockey 1976, football 1968, 1971 and 1972). He is the only Finnish sportsman to be named player of the year both in football (1968) and ice hockey (1981). He has also played in the Finnish national team both in ice hockey (225 games, 18+22=40) and football (14 appearances), and appeared in eight Ice Hockey World Championships.

Nummelin is considered to be the biggest icon of the TPS hockey organization. His number 3 jersey has been retired and can only be used by his son Petteri Nummelin. Nummelin is also known for his goal celebration, in which he imitates playing a violin with his stick. This is mentioned in TPS's goal song "Hunajata" with the words "soi viulu" (the violin plays) in the chorus.

Nummelin was inducted into the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991. In 2013–14, Nummelin played one match for Haka Hockey in the third league in Finland, becoming the oldest player, at age 65, to appear in an official ice hockey game played in Finland.

Nummelin is the father of the Finnish ice hockey player Petteri Nummelin and the father-in-law of the Finnish ice hockey player Antti Niemi.

One of our many events in November was our nephew Luke's Baptism. He was Baptized on the Feast of All Souls. Such a fabulous day for a baptism!
Like Evie's, Luke's Baptismal "gown" was made out of my mother-in-law's wedding dress. The most fabulous idea I've ever heard of! For Luke she had pants, a vest and a bow tie made. This will be the outfit for all the boys going forward.
Luke's Godparents are Leeann's long time friend, Susan, and Dan's brother, Mike. They chose a friend and a sibling like we did for Evie!
It was a group baptism at the Cathedral. The deacon who did it was very inviting and was great about including the families and children when it was time for each baby to be chrismed or baptized. He was also gracious about allowing me to take a million photos.
Luke was a rock star! He barely made a peep during the entire rite.
After the baptism we went back to Dan and Leeann's house for a yummy breakfast catered by Flying Biscuit and time with all of Dan and Leeann's friends and family.
We got Luke a St. Luke doll from Saintly Silver on Etsy, along with a copy of Hooray! I'm Catholic! a sweet little story about being Catholic, illustrated by a local Atlanta artist.
It was such a sweet day! Evie was fabulous...even though she had to sit in those cramped pews for an hour!
Welcome to the Church, Luke Vincent!

Q: Jest's expect(value).toBeInstanceOf(Class) fails for expect(util.promisify(...)()).toBeInstanceOf(Promise) and others Setup:

*

*jest: 21.2.1

*node: 10.16.3

*npm: 6.9.0

Why is it that Jest's expect does not recognize promises returned by node.js' util.promisify as instances of Promise?
The following fails:
const util = require('util');

const fn = util.promisify((opts, cb) => cb(null, {}));
const promise = fn();
expect(promise).toBeInstanceOf(Promise)

Likewise, the following fails:
const util = require('util');

const fn = util.promisify((opts, cb) => cb(null, {}));
const promise = fn();
expect(promise.then).toBeInstanceOf(Function);

The problem can be circumvented by doing a check for typeof promise.then to be 'function', but I'm interested in the why of this behaviour.
Thanks a lot for the info!

A: There is a longstanding bug in Jest titled "Jest globals differ from Node globals". This severely limits the effectiveness of the toBeInstanceOf method, unless you're testing against an instance of one of your own classes. For now, the simplest workaround is to simply test expect(fn().constructor.name).toBe('Promise'), fully understanding that is much more limited in its usefulness than instanceof. It is better than nothing, as it doesn't appear the Jest bug will be fixed in the near future.
I also might suggest that your example test is unnecessary because you're kinda testing the internals of util.promisify, but I understand this might just be a MVP of a larger problem. Good luck!

A candlestick, chamberstick, or candelabrum (plural: candelabra) is a device used to hold a candle in place.
Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (LA2).
For other uses, see Candlestick (disambiguation).
For the seven-branched candlestick in Jewish Temple, see Menorah (Temple).
The name "candlestick" derives from the purpose of the device as a place to secure or "stick" a burning candle; candlesticks have a cup or a spike (or both in some designs) to keep the candle in place. Webster's II New College Dictionary defines a candlestick as "an often ornamental holder for securing a candle or candles." Candlesticks are less frequently called "candleholders", a word not found in most dictionaries prior to 1960.
Although electric lighting has phased out candles in many parts of the world, candlesticks and candelabra are still used in some Western countries homes as a decorative element or to add atmosphere on special occasions. Before the proliferation of electricity services, candles were brought into the bedroom using chambersticks, which were shorter than ordinary candleholders and furnished with a wide pan to catch the wax drippings.
In the context of candlesticks, a pricket is a sharp point onto which a candle is placed to keep it erect. On a regular candlestick, this may be a short point on the seat of the candle, but a "pricket candlestick" refers to a very large point (onto which the candle is placed) with a small base.
Candles and candlesticks are also used frequently in religious rituals and for spiritual means as both functional and symbolic lights. In Jewish homes, two candles are lit to mark the beginning of the Sabbath at sundown every Friday, hence, candlesticks are often on display. A seven-branched candelabrum, known as the Menorah, is the national symbol of the State of Israel, based on the candelabrum that was used in the Temple in Jerusalem in ancient times. Another special candelabrum found in many Jewish homes is the Hanukiah, the Hanukkah menorah that holds eight candles, plus an extra one for lighting the others.
Tall candlesticks and altar lamps are often found in Christian churches as well, while a special set of two- and three-branched candelabra called the dikirion and trikirion is used by Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox bishops to bless people at worship services.

I'm looking at a cookbook, nominally - the "book" part is something of an overstatement. It's 196 pages of 5x8 looseleaf, held together by two big rings fed through holes punched on the left side. The pages are stained and tattered at the edges, and many of the pages are ripped through at the punched holes. Some of those torn holes are repaired with hole reinforcers (or what my college theatre director used to call, in a phrase utterly redolent of her, 'paper assholes'). The print is obviously photocopied, and the original was just as obviously done up on a typewriter. Though the front cover is missing, the first page tells me that this is the Winning Wheels Cookbook II, compiled from Recipes of Friends of Winning Wheels, Inc, and that the scratchy little illustrations throughout the book were drawn by Mrs. Gene (Lynn) Conduff.
This is the kind of thing that I only have because of my cookbook/recipe fascination. This book is just one small part of a big box of booklets, pamphlets, mailers and clippings that came from the collection of one of my maternal great-grandmothers. Actually, maybe this stuff came from both of Mom's grandmas - I don't know for sure, as I found them years ago in a box in a garage I was helping clean out. There were not very many actual bound books in this collection - there were some, but I'm guessing the good ones got absorbed into other family members' collections, and most of the rest were surely disposed of in a book-appropriate fashion. Similarly, there weren't many handwritten index cards, because those were kept by my grandmother as a keepsake from her mother. This is the inbetween stuff, the things that are left behind when a cook moves or reorganizes, the inhabitants of kitchen limbo. I find this detritus entrancing.
The Winning Wheels Cookbook II has no date on it, but my guess is it was made in the early to mid-70s: it's not original but also not mimeographed, so a copier was available; but it's very homemade-looking, so cheap professional printing was not. I don't have a good sense of when Kinko's hit the midwest, but I know that by 1986 my school reports printed out at home were slicker than this (because I still have a few of them around somewhere, of course).
I will be going through this collection looking for recipes that interest me, but I don't exactly know what to do with it after that. It's not really in good enough shape to preserve just for the sake of having it as a cookbook, but I hate to just toss it in the recycling. I thought maybe knowing more about its origin would help. For most of the similar cookbooks there would be no question, as they generally announce that they are the collaborative work of some church congregation or other. However, Googling suggests that this one probably came from a fundraiser for a physical therapy/rehab center in Prophetstown, IL. I sort of wonder if they'd like it back, as a history kind of thing. I may call them.
In the meantime, at the moment I'm most fascinated by a section at the back entitled, "Vincent's Odds and Ends." That's a good description, as it seems to be a pretty random assemblage of kitchen hints, gardening tips, miscellaneous techniques and clever ideas. It feels very homey to me; a lot of this sounds like the kind of stuff my great-grandmother would have thought was just the thing to do. Who is Vincent and who told him all these things? I have no idea... but I'm going to preserve it here, because I can. I do not promise to be faithful to the original formatting, but the content will be the same.
Sweet CornTest - The silk should be brown when ready to eat. Pinch the end near the tip, if slim and pointed it is not quite ready to eat. Corn is best cooked soon after being picked. In the market, too long away from the field, it seems to lose that good taste and seems "homesick."
In planting, 4 short rows pollinate better than two long rows. Have several plantings 2 weeks apart. A dwarf variety matures quickly - then follow it up with taller corn.
On farm - plant 2 outside rows with planter. They will mature earlier than field corn and not mix. Cook a big kettle of sweet corn and the leftovers from dinner - cut off and dry in oven. Has different flavor and in tight containers will keep indefinitely. Soak a few hours before bringing to a boil, add milk and seasoning. Good scalloped. Grate any corn that is a little tough. The tough part will remain on the cob. Grated corn can be canned or frozen.
Fry like pancakes, or in deep fat in balls. Freeze what you don't need for later use.
PaintingWhen painting indoors, slip a pair of old socks over your shoes. A drop of paint on the floor? Merely skate it up.
CorkTo remove a cork pushed into a bottle: pour out contents of bottle; pour in just enough ammonia to float the cork. Let stand 24 hours. Ammonia will eat the cork, causing it to crumble.
Open eggs at tip. Dry. Use as mold for Jell-O or on lettuce salad, or with whipped cream as dessert. Place in egg carton to chill.
Peel boiled eggs, let stand in beet juice to color. Where they touch will leave a white spot. Makes pretty deviled eggs.
AphidsAphids do not like onions. Grind any of the onion family, tame onions, wild onions, shallots, garlic etc. Soak in water overnight, drain and use as a spray.
TomatoesTo conserve space, make a cylinder of coarse woven wire for tomatoes to grow up in. Mulch heavy with grass clippings to keep weeds down. In transplanting spindly tomatoes lay them in a shallow trench, and leave two inches uncovered. The end will turn up and grow, and hte covered stem will grow additional roots. In late fall, just before killing frost, pick green tomatoes with 4-6 inches of stem left on. Most of them will ripen indoors.
When you set out tomato plants in the spring, plant tomato seeds. The later plants will prolong the season.
For Your CatDry some catnip to use in tea given in milk. To give a cat medicine, smear it on its sides, and cat will lick it off.
For humor - place close fitting paper sack over cat's head and see him in speedy reverse around room. Jam his feet in half English walnut shells and place on smooth floor.
Ok, I will put up the rest later. I am not quite halfway through the Vincent section, but I think that "How the Previous Generation Screwed with their Cats" is a good stopping point.
i love cookbooks like that. those tips at the end are the best. i have tons of those that i buy at rummage sales and things like that. i also got the ones that my grandmother- my dad's mom- collected over the years, since no one else wanted them. some of them date back to just after ww2 and some of the bases they were stationed at. they are just hysterical at times, sometimes sad, but all just a real look at households at the times.
Food trends interest me, and you can see them play out in these locally produced cookbooks.
My mom's family made a family cookbook back in 1987. Unfortunately, as a teenager, surly about being forced to add a recipe and vegetarian at the time to boot, my contribution was, um, let's just call it rebellious (though not as much as my cousin of the same age, who contributed the gem How To Order a Domino's Pizza). Back in the day we gave it out as a gift; I recommended to anyone who has it not to try my recipe.
There's supposedly an update in the works, but it's not in the hands of one of the get-it-done family members, so we'll see.

Genepy is a legendary alpine herbal liqueur, unique to the Savoy region, that dates back many hundreds of years. While comprised of a multitude of alpine herbs, the most prominent is Genepy petite and rare variety of artemesia found in the high mountains of the Savoy. Its fresh and aromatic flavors have long been associated with the mountain air and adventure. Efforts to brand this style of product have been nothing short of epic, yet in the home region there is no substitute for the local crafted product. Today it is still the darling of French ski resorts and fine dining, served on the rocks or with tonic water, and very welcome after a fondue. This Genepy recipe dates back to 1821, when Joseph Chavasse first established what is today Maison Dolin. Our house is one of the few that employs local farmers for our herbs. Our copper alembic still brings out the fresh alpine fragrances and delightful flavors.


Rumor has it Olivia Palermo has secretly married her longtime beau, Johannes Huebl, in a rush ceremony at Manhattan's City Hall. But despite sources revealing "Page Six" that they exchanged vows on Saturday, Palermo's spokeswoman Barbara Saint-Aime insisted last night in a press release that the couple were not yet married "They are doing a much smaller civil ceremony in the States this month and they are planning to do something much larger later on", she claimed.
Thing is they're gonna tie the knot eventually so we came prepared with five possible wedding dresses and looks suited for a big celebration or a low-key private ceremony.
Do your picture her in this Marchesa Resort 2014?
I can totally see her tying the knot in Hugo Boss in The Hamptosn or St. Barths!

(Newser) – Alec Baldwin skewered President Trump again over the weekend on Saturday Night Live, and now the two men are continuing the animosity online. In a tweet, Trump made clear he hated the skit mocking his declaration of a national emergency. "Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!" he wrote. "Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!" In a second tweet, he reiterated his view that the media "IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" Baldwin didn't appreciate the language.
The 1st Amendment allows clowns like Baldwin to be unfunny and to Trump-pimp.

Alia Ali introduces herself as a child of five languages and two defunct countries – Yugoslavia, where her mother hails from, and South Yemen, her father's homeland, where she spent her childhood years before emigrating along with her family to USA. There she studied at Wellesley College, an institution which claims "[t]o provide an excellent liberal arts education for women who will make a difference in the world"1 and whose alumnae include names such as Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright. After finishing her studies, she spent her next five years in Morocco, where she was part of the organization of the Marrakech Biennial, while doing a lot of travelling around the world. She currently resides in New Orleans, USA, a city to which she felt drawn, the way she did Morocco, because she finds it such a lively cultural hub.
Her interest in photography was sparked by documentary filmmaking, but she soon felt that words, with their concreteness, hinder access to the essence. She began translating the fight for human rights into visual language, into an art discourse illuminating the invisible, inverting meanings, and replacing statements with questions.
In her early work, she is – as a consequence of her travels, as well – more concrete, travelogue-like, and journalistic, while her later work exhibits a gradual shift to the metaphoric and conceptual, and can be seen as a condensation of her visual language. Her orientation remains humanistic – multiracialism, gender, identity, the human being as a part of society and the world. The starting point of her Cast No Evil (2015) are the ideas of social roles, masking, namelessness, and universality, based on which she creates simple – for lack of a better word – portraits, even though the portrayed individuals of both sexes are perceived more as some sort of puppets or even fairy-tale protagonists. The images breathe vivacity and radiate positivity, mostly thanks to the use of multi-colour patterned textiles. The reading, however, can also be reversed – we can, for example, imagine the individuals as suffocating inside a layered cocoon.
Alia Ali: Cast No Evil.
It is interesting to observe how the viewer, despite the complete anonymity, is prone to see physical persons beneath the drapery and how the perceived gender of the subjects is female. What is also fascinating is how the artist's background and the social norms of covering one's body steer our interpretation of the images in the direction of the Islamic tradition of gender inequality. The artist herself admits that this is a possible basic, superficial interpretation, but that she is more interested in the fabric itself2, the veil as a shield or a social mask – that is to say, not only in the concept of being concealed, but also in the concealing object. She thus points to broader societal questions of exclusion and inclusion and re-examines the grey areas between them. In her words, she is interested in when and how exclusion is negative, and when it actually signifies security, as well as, on the other hand, who does the inclusion and whether inclusion can really be thought of as a synonym for acceptance – who dominates, and who is being dominated?

The use of the word fabric allows a play on its meaning of something fabricated, as well as "textile".

Snapchat: a Brief Encounter
Historically, snapshots have always been about the everyday, the banal, the repetitive, the cliched events that are part of everyone's lives. And by using Snapchat, almost any everyday activity can be combined with the production and distribution of an everyday image.

Keys To a Successful Project
Sydney Light Rail Water Main Relocations
UEA's civil crews have been working both night and day shifts since May 2017, undertaking the relocation of Sydney Water assets under its W3 & S2 accreditation. The contract has required UEA to perform detailed excavation works in some of the oldest and most congested roadways in the city of Sydney, including George Street & Eddy Avenue, which run parallel to Central Station.
Interestingly, the origins of George Street lie in the layout of the Sydney Cove colony. Captain Arthur Phillip placed the convicts and marines on the rocky western slopes of the bay – a track leading from the convicts' encampment in the area of The Rocks, past the marine barracks and alongside the banks of a stream to a brick pit, located near the present location of Central Station. This track that eventually became George Street is one of the two original thoroughfares, along with the track that became Bridge Street.
The existing water pipes – which were required to be lowered where they would impact the new tram construction – were progressively installed and cut over in line with the detailed programme, working closely with the Acciona construction team and Sydney Water network operations.
The construction of the $2.5 billion CBD and East Sydney Light Rail has required the largest relocation of utilities ever undertaken in Australia. Excavation works required for the new Sydney Water assets has been very challenging due to the need to work around existing utilities, redundant tram track infrastructure, tree roots and sandstone. Many of the unknown cable and pipes that are discovered are not shown on any dial before you dig plans, but the same positive identification excavation permit process is followed to prevent incident.
