There are many different kinds of worship in our world, many beliefs as to what God is – so many gods of human imagination!
As we reflect on this and how it is all very sad – we recall what the one true God, the Creator, said through Jeremiah! "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?" (5:31).
The most tragic situation to be seen at the present is the effect of their beliefs on the minds of a very small minority of people, who use the words of their prophets falsely as justification to incite terror and kill their enemies in the name of their religion. Our thoughts 'wandered' along these lines after we read the words of Jesus in Mark 7. We noted the attitude of the Pharisees when "they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed" (verse 2). Jesus said that their attitude was a fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy, "it is written, 'This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men'" (verses 6,7).
This perception is so applicable to today: "In vain do they worship" God as they imagine him to be! This applies, sadly, to a whole range of situations in our world; it is a distorted view of God – one largely, or entirely – of their own imagination. It is so parallel to what Jesus told the Pharisees, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!" (verse 9).
The verses which follow indicate Jesus' criticism of the way the Pharisees manipulated the application of the Mosaic Law in order to avoid their responsibility toward their parents in their old age. Some are blessed to live in countries in which the government largely provides accommodation and support for the elderly and those genuinely in need.
But so many people take this for granted – there is no faith or belief involved! But we can say "in vain do they" believe there is NO God! We must not let this influence us.
It is, as Paul told the Thessalonians, "all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved" (2 Thessalonians 2:10). Let us make sure we do not "worship" our Creator "in vain". Let us read his scriptures daily and, as a result, "know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before him" (1 John 3:19).


In response to the enthusiastic community response to the first annual Magdalen Street Celebration, Aladdin's Café will host a series of social and intellectual events for the community.
Café conversations are an opportunity to meet scientists, researchers and scholars from the University of East Anglia, and interact with them about cutting edge social and technological issues.
Café Conversations on a variety of topics will be held weekly for the next six months. Café's will be held at various times during the week to accommodate everyone's schedule: either on a Wednesday lunchtime, a Friday evening, or a Saturday afternoon.
Dates and Times See attached schedule for details.
CUE East is a UEA initiative to support faculty members in engaging with the public. CUE East is one of six higher education national Beacons for Public Engagement .
CUE East and partners hosted the country's first Sustainable Living Festival at the Forum in Norwich (May 2009). As part of this Festival CUE East took the concept of 'Café Scientifiques' to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Usually held in cafes, bars or restaurants, they are always outside of the traditional academic context. The Social Science Cafes held at the Festival proved popular. Recently CUE East have helped partner Café's at the Inspire Discovery Centre and the Castle Museum.
The first annual Magdalen Street Celebration took place in October 2010. It is an arts and music festival focused on showcasing local talent and uniqueness and vibrancy of the Magdalen Street neighbourhood. The Magdalen Street themes 'Creativity, Sustainability, Diversity' are reflected in many of the Café Conversation topics of this new series.
Transition Norwich is a community-based response to peak oil, climate change, and economic recession. It was launched in Norwich in October 2008, and is part of the national and international Transition Network. Its NR3 members were the organisers of the Magdalen Street Celebration.
Aladdin's is the new intellectual hub of Magdalen St and a favourite spot for socialising, meeting and networking amongst people with 'alternative' views. Stop by for Café conversations or interviews with authors, poets, activists, educators and entertainers from Norwich and across the UK, often recorded with a live audience.
Why is the universe infinite? If a tree grows for an infinitely long time, will it be infinitely tall? What does "infinity" mean, and why is it so controversial and misunderstood? In this Cafe Conversation we will answer these questions and more with interesting examples and thought experiments. No mathematical experience is required, only a willingness to try out new ideas!
Bioplastics: Waste product or gold mine?
The food and drink industry generates 12.6 million tonnes of waste per year, more than 10% of UK's total. Can food waste be used to make 'bioplastics' for packaging and other sustainable materials?

Once you start crossing the street, do not stop. You are a pebble in the river of traffic!
I repeat my coworker's advice to myself as I stand near a crowded avenue in Hanoi. The buzz of a hundred motorcycles rattles my ears; cars approach from all directions. Across the street is the reason I came to Vietnam: a tall office building where one of our most important customers is based.
The tide of traffic remains relentless. But there's no intersection in sight, and time is running short.
I set my eyes on the building across the way, lower my foot from sidewalk to street, and take my first step. My briefcase and presentation materials suddenly feel like bricks in my arms.
I take a few more steps, bracing for almost certain impact, when the motorcycles buzzing towards me start to lean to my left and to my right, flowing past me like water. Cars slow their pace to let me get across. I watch the river with absolute amazement.
Unharmed, I step up onto the other sidewalk and swagger into the building lobby. As I approach the elevator, however, my amazement quickly morphs into anxiety. Parting the river was only my first task. The next challenge will be far more daunting.
When it came to travel, I considered myself intrepid. When it came to languages, I considered myself unstoppable.
After majoring in French and living in France for a year, I could fool French people into thinking I was a local. A few years later, I moved to Colombia and made mastering Spanish my new ambition. For the first few months, progress came at a frustratingly slow pace. I struggled to roll my "rr"s and was totally confused by the local slang. Nonetheless, I would not be denied the title of trilingual.
What actually helped me most in South America was that the Colombians I met would do just about anything to be understood. Hand gestures, miming, weird noises — no tactic was too embarrassing, no effort was too great. Some people would just repeat the same sentence really loudly — which wasn't particularly helpful, but their heart was certainly in the right place.
These days, as Lead Customer Success Manager at Voxy, I put my language learning to work helping my customers reach their business goals. Almost every day I get the chance to write emails, do presentations and conducting meetings in French or Spanish. Growing up, one of my life goals was to speak another language. Now I was trilingual and doing business all over Europe and South America. I can go anywhere, I told myself boldly. I can do anything!
The directory next to the elevator is, naturally, all in Vietnamese. There are no offices on the ground floor — the lobby is totally empty, not a soul in sight. I fumble for my phone, but my hands are full with materials for the meeting. Sweat starts condensing on my brow.
Suddenly, a cleaning person exits a stairwell nearby. She also has her hands full: two bulky garbage bags in each hand. I glance at her nervously, then at my watch — the meeting is going to start any minute.
The time has come to channel my inner Colombian.
"Excuse me," I shout out, probably a little too loudly for the silent office lobby. "This office…what floor?" I jab at the air with my elbow towards the directory. She stares at me blankly.
I shuffle closer to the sign. I actually nudge the wall twice, then pivot around and strain my neck in the direction of the elevator. She raises her eyebrows and smiles, then responds quickly — in Vietnamese.
I exhale sharply. Do not stop, my inner Colombian whispers.
Turning to face her, I say the name of the customer slowly and begin counting the floors, nodding my head and jutting out my white-knuckled fingers with each number. One…? Two…? Three…? Finally she nods, puts down one of the bags, and holds up three fingers.
I smile at her from ear to ear and bolt to the elevator, sweat streaming down my face.
Situations like this may be few and far between these days. Our phones can translate any phrase; our apps can hail cabs for us, order food for us, pay our bills and set our reminders. But in case you find yourself in a strange new land, with technology out of reach and a dire need to communicate, nothing is more precious than the courage to ask questions and the kindness of strangers who take the time to respond.

Note: To roast your pepper at home and make your own tahini paste, please see instructions below.
Start by adding all the above listed ingredients into your blender and blend on high speed until the ingredients are well mixed and form the desired consistency of your hummus. Transfer the hummus into a dipping bowl and enjoy with a mix of carrot and cucumber sticks or why not try making some moreish homemade Amaranth crackers with the recipe in the August Superfoodio box.
If you don't want to buy pre-roasted peppers in a jar, you can roast your own at home. To do this, start by preheating your oven at 200 degrees celsius. Place the red pepper on a baking tray lined with foil and leave in the oven for 20 minutes until the skin starts to look soft and charred. Turn the pepper over and roast the other side for another 20 minutes. The pepper will be fully roasted when it looks soft and starts to lose it's shape. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Half the pepper and use for this recipe. You can roast more peppers at the same time and use in other recipes such as salads or stir fry.
To make homemade tahini paste, follow this simple step: Blend your sesame seeds with a 1 tbsp of olive oil to form a paste. You only need 1 tbsp of the paste for this recipe and can freeze any leftover paste for the next time you want to make the hummus. The best way to freeze the leftover paste is by filling up an ice tray with the paste and placing it in your freezer. Once fully frozen, you can empty the frozen cubes into a freezer bag and store.

C.A. Rejects Minister's Plea for Annulment, Not Divorce
By a MetNews Staff Writer
The Sixth District Court of Appeal has rejected a Presbyterian minister's contention that the trial court should have granted his post-divorce request for an annulment because he was fraudulently induced to wed through his wife-to-be's false assurance that she was a devout Christian.
Appellant Ting Wang argued he should be spared the ignominy of divorce, which his church regards as a sin, and that annulment is appropriate in light of the trickery of his former wife, Rebecca Kim.
Over his opposition, a judgment was entered Feb. 12, 2013, dissolving his nine-year marriage to Kim. She subsequently stipulated that the judgment be vacated, with the understanding that it would be reinstated if Wang failed to obtain the annulment he sought.
In pursuing the annulment, he said in a declaration, that at, or near in time to, a Jan. 28, 2013 hearing, he "broached the issue" of her "Christian commitment" and she advised that it should have been obvious to him that she was a "benchwarmer Christian," if a Christian at all.
Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Julie A. Emede determined at a March 26, 2014 proceeding that granting an annulment would be contrary to law, and the judgment of dissolution was re-entered, effective Feb. 12, 2013.
"Historically," Justice Adrienne M. Grover wrote, agreeing with Emede, "annulments based on fraud have been granted only in cases where the fraud related in some way to the sexual, procreative, or child-rearing aspects of marriage."
1969 Opinion
Wang pointed to the 1969 opinion in Lamberti v. Lamberti, 272 Cal.App.2d 482. There, the parties met while Guiseppe Lamberti was visiting from Italy; they were wed in a civil ceremony, pursuant to his promise of a wedding in a Catholic church in three weeks; by marrying, he gained entitlement to remain in the United States; right after the ceremony, his attitude toward the bride became icy; they were not wed in a church and the marriage was not consummated.
The court in that case said:
"We are persuaded that the rule is that where one prospective spouse, in order to induce the other to enter into a civil marriage, makes a promise of a subsequent religious ceremony without intending to keep it, an annulment will be granted, at least where as in the present case there was no consummation by cohabitation."
Case Is Inapposite
Grover commented, in an opinion that was not certified for publication:
"The facts in Lamberti do not support Wang's broad argument that an annulment may be based on a misrepresentation in religious matters….In our view, Lamberti was not decided based on a misrepresentation regarding religious conviction but rather based on the defendant misrepresenting his love and affection for the plaintiff so that he could obtain legal status in the United States—a misrepresentation that was apparent from his transformed demeanor immediately following the civil ceremony including his overt refusal to solemnize the marriage."
The jurist went on to say:
"When Wang ultimately sought an annulment, it was not because Kim's religious convictions had impeded their marriage. Rather, he sought an annulment in lieu of the dissolution sought by Kim because his religion apparently will not accept the ministry services of a divorced pastor. In light of the parties' consummated eight-year marriage in which the couple had assumed the rights and duties of the marriage in spite of Kim's lack of spiritual devotion, Wang has failed to show that the strength or weakness of Kim's religious conviction frustrated the essence of the marriage."
The case is Marriage of Kim and Wang, H041056.

Start-ups mark important change in India's mindset, says Jaitley
New Delhi, Jan. 16 (ANI): Addressing the 'Start-up India' launch programme at Vigyan Bhawan here on Saturday evening, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today indeed has been a fascinating experience for this country, as it represents the changing social profile of India and probably a future economic and business profile.
It also marks a very important change in the mindsets of India, he said.
"Facilitating start-ups and literary creating a large explosion of activity represents a freedom from day-to-day interference. The state creates the ecosystem and environment, in which people can function and people should function. The only subsequent relationship with the start-ups is that at the end of the year they pay their taxes, continue to earn more and enrich the Indian state and enrich themselves," he added.
"In one sense, this culture in the last few years has already entered India, and I think a major milestone, which really enables us to answer this question is how many amongst the first 30s or 40s top companies in India, which existed as top companies before 1991, still find a place in the top 20s and 30s.
"They have been actually been replaced by the people, who in some small and large were start-ups themselves. They didn't belong to business family or dynasties. They didn't have the benefit of large capital at their disposal. They benefitted from the expanded scope of education in India. They carved out new areas for themselves and excelled.
"And, I think if somebody were to do a serious study of the pre-91 business leaders and those who emerged post that period, we actually learn the story of how an unregulated environment is the survival of the fittest matters. And, that is really the environment that we are creating today," he said.
Stating that the world today has changed and the inbuilt limitations of the conventional economy repeatedly come and stare at us, Jaitley said: "They stared at us in 2008, and are staring at us in 2016. And, therefore, we are all looking for alternate avenues itself. And the start-ups, on the strength of their ideas, on the strength of technology, have actually given the world new solutions."
"The kind of changes which are taking place in the Indian political system itself, even there there is a stark similarity, because an era we lived in where sir name did matter, today they don't. And, therefore, across the board we find the power of start-ups – from business to technologies to politics itself," he said in a lighter vein. (ANI)

The New York Comedy Festival today announced it has entered a multi-year partnership deal with Comedy Central, which means Caroline Hirsch's annual celebration of big-name comedy in the Big Apple now will get a bigger TV presence. The deal includes an annual Comedy Central special, and perhaps more. So the fifth New York Comedy Festival, running Nov. 5-9, 2008, in varied venues around Manhattan, unveils this early lineup:
11/5: Frank Caliendo, Carnegie Hall
11/5: "We Have a Winner" moderated by Lizz Winstead, 92nd Street Y
11/6: Louis C.K., They're With Me, Town Hall
11/6: Katt Williams, Live In Concert, Carnegie Hall

Plenty of big names, though, on the slate, including several repeat performers from last year. Louis CK rocked Town Hall last year, so already looking forward to that. We'll see how McHale and Novak handle the larger stage. Tracy Morgan plays the Apollo. Sarah Silverman moves from last year's Carnegie Hall to this year at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Carlos Mencia? The Late Night writers talk should be very interesting, coming as it does near the end of the road for some of them as the show prepares to move to California.

Jagdish Natwarlal Bhagwati (born July 26, 1934) is a economist known for his advocacy of free trade. He is a University Professor of Economics at Columbia University.
Early years and personal life
Bhagwati was born into a Gujarati Family in Mumbai in 1934 and graduated from Sydenham College, Mumbai. He graduated with a BA in Economics from St. John's College, Cambridge in 1956, and received Ph.D. Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1967.
Bhagwati is married to Padma Desai, the Gladys and Ronald Harriman Professor of Comparative Economic Systems at Columbia University. They have one daughter. His elder brother Justice P.N Bhagwati is a former Chief Justice of India and his niece Pallavi Shroff heads one of India's largest law firms.
Bhagwati has previously served as an external advisor to the Director General of the World Trade Organization in 2001, as a special policy advisor on globalization to the United Nations in 2000, and as an economics policy advisor to the Director-General of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade from 1991 to 1993. From 1968 until 1980, Bhagwati was an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [http://www.cfr.org/bio.php?id=1753] Bhagwati currently serves on the Academic Advisory Board of Human Rights Watch (Asia) and on the board of scholars of the Centre for Civil Society. He is a Senior Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In 2000, Bhagwati was signatory to an amicus briefing, coordinated by the American Enterprise Institute, with Supreme Court to contend that the Environmental Protection Agency should, contrary to a prior ruling, be allowed to take into account the costs of regulations when setting environmental standards.
In January, 2004, Bhagwati published "In Defense of Globalization," a book in which he argues "this process [of globalization] has a human face, but we need to make that face more agreeable."
In May, 2004, Bhagwati was one of the experts who took part in the Copenhagen Consensus project.
In 2006, Bhagwati was a member of the Panel of Eminent Persons who reviewed the work of UNCTAD.

Paul Samuelson, on the occasion of Bhagwati's 70th Birthday festschrift conference in Gainesville Florida, January 2005 told following:
* "I measure a scholar's prolific-ness not by the mere number of his publishings. Just as the area of a rectangle equals its width times its depth, the quality of a lifetime accomplishment must weight each article by its novelties and wisdoms...Jagdish Bhagwati is more like Haydn: a composer of more than a hundred symphonies and no one of them other than top notch...In the struggle to improve the lot of mankind, whether located in advanced economies or in societies climbing the ladder out of poverty, Jagdish Bhagwati has been a tireless partisan of that globalization which elevates global total-factor----productivities both of richest America and poorest regions of Asia and Africa." [ [http://www.columbia.edu/~jb38/Festschrift%20Samuelson.pdf "Jagdish Bhagwati, the wunderkind who became the tireless theorist of international trade"] by Paul A. Samuelson]

How do you spell Shakespeare?

When Oxford decided to do Shakespeare they clearly made up their minds that the scale of the operation must be very grand, and a team of scholars has been working hard for eight years to get it done quickly, done right, and done with the greatest possible display and novelty. One has to admire not only the industry of Professor Wells and his associates, but their flair for publicity, as evidenced by the enormous solemn fuss about the poem 'Shall I die?', now accorded an honoured place in their canon, and also by the proclaimed scope and originality of their enterprise, which, though not essentially different from other such enterprises, is different in many eye-catching ways, and must have set the Press some unique problems.
The work is not yet fully finished. What we have at present is two vast volumes, the Complete Works in modernised and again in original spelling, and a fair number of the single-play volumes edited by a lot of able people who are presumably in agreement about the general editorial line and who can provide the detailed introductions and notes missing from the big collections. Of these more portable and more useful books I can't say much; they will be judged by comparison with the New Arden editions, some of which are now showing signs of age (some of them always did), and possibly with the New Penguin. There is a Cambridge set now well under way; the Oxford Hamlet is the third considerable edition of that play in five years, following hard upon Harold Jenkins's magisterial Arden and Philip Edwards's serious Cambridge version.1
It may well be asked by non-Shakespearians and non-publishers whether all this editorial activity is needed, and by whom, and the Oxford team anticipates the question by asserting the boldness as well as the unparalleled scope of its enterprise. It is worth asking how much there is in this claim.
The Original-Spelling volume greatly increases the size of the undertaking and is probably the greatest novelty. In some respects it is a very odd compilation. Back in 1960 John Russell Brown wrote an article, celebrated in the trade, in which he argued against the value of old-spelling Shakespeare, saying among other things that the amount of 'silent alteration' an editor would have to introduce would make such a text almost useless for close study; that it would be naive to suppose the spelling reproduced was that of the author; and that to believe the old spelling imparted 'an Elizabethan flavour' to the words was a pseudo-historical nonsense, for the strangeness of the spelling isn't something the Elizabethan reader could have been expected to notice. Brown's article caused a stir because, as he remarked, it ran counter to assumptions rarely questioned. W.W. Greg had been firm about it in the Prolegomena to his authoritative book, The Editorial Problem in Shakespeare (2nd ed., 1951), where he argued that modernisation seriously misrepresents Elizabethan English when it changes 'murther' to 'murder', 'mushrump' to 'mushroom', 'vild' to 'vile', 'wrack' to 'wreck', and so forth. Less controversially, he indicated that modernisation can in some cases destroy rhymes, and hinder the business of emendation (but surely nobody would be ass enough to try that without recourse to the original). Greg's case really depends upon a conviction that the needs of critics and of ordinary readers are different, which is true, and another conviction, that there is always a chance that the original spelling has some trace of the author's hand and should therefore be preserved. Of course he knew better than anybody how slim this chance was.
Brown saw that Greg's general case, though somewhat dogmatically stated, was less strong than it appeared. Why not work from photographs instead of type facsimiles or old-spelling editions? His opponents minimised the treachery of type facsimiles and stressed the fallibility of photographs: but that was before Hinman's Norton Facsimile of the First Folio (1968) – a remarkable achievement. By using only the best leaves of a great many copies of the Folio, Hinman produced photographs of an 'ideal' version, so that his facsimile is in practice a better copy than any genuine exemplar, and anybody who wants to see what Jaggard's compositors actually printed, without modern editorial interferences except for line numbers, should look there.
In 1965 Fredson Bowers, who more or less inherited Greg's authority, took a look at the problem in the light of the enormous recent expansion of bibliographical techniques, in part at least brought on by himself. Though he did not deny that an original-spelling text was desirable, he maintained sadly but strongly that it couldn't yet be achieved: there was still so much to be done in the way of studying printing-house practices, compositors' vagaries and so forth, along the lines of Hinman's extraordinary investigation of the printing of the First Folio, published in 1963. A great deal of recondite research has gone on since then, but work of this kind, as the present Oxford editors admit, usually opens up rather than closes the prospect of more work, and one would have expected Bowers's prediction, that an old-spelling edition of Shakespeare was a matter for the 21st century, to have held at least into the Eighties.
It is also a reasonable inference that such an edition would take a lot of people a long time: yet this has apparently not proved to be the case. An old-spelling Oxford edition was mooted long ago by R.B. McKerrow, but he produced only the Prolegomena (1939) before he died, and Alice Walker, who took over the project, did not issue a single play. With this discouraging history behind him, Professor Wells seems not to have been thinking of old spelling when he mounted the present assault on the Shakespearian summit. 'The newly proposed Oxford editions,' he wrote in 1979,
will be in modern spelling. This procedure, traditional in editions of Shakespeare, removes unnecessary barriers to understanding, making it possible for the reader to concentrate on the text itself, undistracted by obsolete and archaic accidentals of presentation. Thus, his reading experience is closer to that of Shakespeare's contemporaries, who also read the plays in what was, for them, a modern form. We plan both a new single-volume edition of Shakespeare's works for the Oxford Standard Authors (OSA) series, and a detailed scholarly edition, devoting a volume to each play, for the Oxford English Texts (OET).
Wells went on to give by far the best account of the problems of modernising (Modernising Shakespeare's Spelling, 1979), but said nothing whatever about an old-spelling edition, and it is reasonable to infer that eight years ago the very idea of one must have seemed terrifying to the Press if not to the general editor, who was in any case ready with all manner of good reasons for doing without such a thing. So it is at least a little surprising that the decision was reversed, and that the work, once undertaken, occupied not the decades of editorial drudgery envisaged by McKerrow and Bowers, but five or six years at most of doubtless frenzied activity, years during which work continued on the modernised version, on the single-play volumes, and on the Textual Companion, still missing but promised for later this year.
Apparently the editors decided that the objections to old spelling were less cogent than they had thought. Does the present volume show their second thoughts to have been right? To answer with confidence one would need to have worked with the edition for a long time, and I have only sampled it. The most obvious difficulty is 'silent alteration', and so I thought I might look at a few passages celebrated for their difficulty, and see how the 'original spelling' of this Oxford edition compared with the original spelling.
1. There is a well-known crux in Antony and Cleopatra, I. iv. 47, where the original (Folio) text speaks of an 'Arme-gaunt Steede'. In Oxford OS we read 'Arme-iaunct'. The modernised text has 'arm-jaunced'. Presumably these readings will be defended and explained in the volume we have not yet got, but the point is clear: an emendation of 'Arme-gaunt' has been read back into Elizabethan spelling, and the word 'Arme-iaunct' is a pretty modern guess at what the author, or a compositor, or a proof-reader, wrote or rewrote. It is, in fact, a fake antique.
2. There is another crux in the same play, solved by the despised 18th-century editor Warburton in one of the most brilliant and certain of all Shakespearian emendations. Antony is complaining that all is lost by Cleopatra's treachery. His followers have deserted him:
All come to this? The hearts
That pannelled me at heeles, to whom I gaue
Their wishes, do dis-Candie, melt their sweets
On blossoming Caesar: And this Pine is barkt,
That ouer-top'd them all.
Warburton read 'spanieled' in the second line. Antony has picked up the idea of 'discandying' (melting) from Cleopatra a little earlier.
Ah (Deere) if I be so,
From my cold heart let Heaven engender haile,
And poyson it in the sourse, and the first stone
Drop in my necke: as it determines so
Dissolue my life, the next Caesarian smile [smite]
Till by degrees the memory of my wombe,
Together with my brave Egyptians all,
By the discandering of this pelleted storme,
Lie grauelesse ...
The idea is of the hailstones melting ('discandering' = 'discandying') and so killing her, her son and her other children, and then all the Egyptians. But the word for melting stays with Antony and he remembers its other association with candy, a sweet resembling ice: so he launches into a strange conceit, supposing the 'hearts' of those who followed him, dog-like, to have let his gifts (their 'wishes') melt in their mouths (the candy discandies), and then go and drop the sticky remnant fawningly before Caesar, represented as a tree in blossom, while Antony is a tall barked pine. In this extraordinary sequence the verb 'pannelled' must refer to the fawning action of a dog, which is why Warburton, conscious no doubt that Shakespeare had elsewhere linked fawning and slavering dogs with candy, emended to 'spanieled'. In the Oxford modern-spelling edition this emendation is accepted. In the original-spelling version we get 'spannell'd', 'spanel' or 'spannel' being an old form of 'spaniel' presumed, no doubt, to have been familiar to the compositor, though not current in Shakespeare's time so far as the OED is aware.
The point is that the Oxford editors, having accepted the emendation and printed 'spaniel'd' in the modern version, have to invent a likely-looking older form as what the compositor misread as 'pannelled'. This is a guess, and a 'silent alteration' – and it is not easy to see that a modern reader is better-off with it than he would be with Hinman's photographs and a modern edition to tell him or her how the original 'pannelled' has been altered to 'spaniel'd'.
3. The most famous crux of all is in Henry V, when it is said of the dying Falstaff that 'his Nose was as sharpe as a Pen, and a Table of greene fields'. Theobald's emendation is widely though by no means universally accepted, and occurs in the Oxford modern version as 'a babbled', in the 'original' as 'a babeld' – again an attempt to reproduce the manuscript reading a compositor might have misread as 'a Table'. I don't know that every expert would think this a probable misreading, but it is in any case pure conjecture, and argues back from Theobald's bright guess – which took little account of the peculiarities of secretary hand – to a version which looks more plausible and scientific. No doubt the whole matter will be argued out in the missing Textual Companion, which, as we see from the bits and pieces of it sent out in advance, devotes so much grave argument to the text of 'Shall I die' that it is sure to be very expansive on rather larger issues.
4. At the beginning of the third act of The Tempest Ferdinand remarks that 'these sweet thoughts, do euen refresh my labours,/Most busie lest, when I doe it.' Much ink has been expended on this difficulty, which Oxford-modern resolves by printing 'busil'est' – an emendation duly defended in Stephen Orgel's excellent single-play Oxford version2 ('my thoughts of Miranda are most active when I am busiest at my work'). The Oxford-original gives 'busielest' as what the compositor or possibly the scribe misread or wrongly divided in an attempt to make sense where there seemed to be none. There is of course no guarantee, and some would say 'lest' means 'least', while others might give up and say there is here, as elsewhere, an indeterminable corruption: that, as anybody who has ever read proof knows perfectly well, minds wander, and it is sometimes impossible to explain how things came to be as they are. But the original-spelling editor is obliged to produce a rational fake.
5. The Oxford editors have decided that the differences between the Quarto and Folio versions of King Lear are so considerable that they must treat them as two separate plays: they therefore print them as two separate versions, The History of King Lear (Quarto) and The Tragedy of King Lear (Folio). This is one of their bolder innovations, but at present I am interested in what happens when the two versions differ only slightly and not, on the face of it, as the result of revision. Here is what Kent says about Oswald in the Quarto:
... such smiling roges
As these, like Rats oft bite those cords in twaine,
Which are to intrencht, to vnloose ...
In the Folio this is:
such smiling rogues as these,
Like Rats oft bite the holly cords a twaine,
Which are to intrince, t'vnloose ...
Since they give both versions, the editors naturally have both 'intrencht' and 'intrince' in the original-spelling text; in the modernised version they have 'entrenched' (Quarto) and 'intrinse' (Folio). But it is quite difficult to believe that these are independent versions, or that one is an improvement made in revision. The holy cords must always have been 'too intrinse' and never 'too entrenched', since the rats are biting at knots that cannot be untied, not at knots that have dug themselves into something. The Quarto must be wrong, perhaps because the compositor or proofreader changed an unfamiliar to a familiar word; and the editors, pursuing their idea of two independent texts, have given canonical status to a sophistication. 'Silent alteration' would here have made a small point against the independence theory, or at any rate complicated it. Once again we shall have to see how the Textual Companion argues the matter, or consult the single-volume edition, not yet published. It will also, no doubt, offer explanations for pastiche stage directions. It certainly shouldn't be supposed that this old-spelling edition remains very close to the original, and in the absence of annotation in the volume itself the reader who hasn't got the Companion will always be uncertain, even when the spelling of everything looks reassuringly Elizabethan, as to what is editorial and what is not.
These complete editions are alike in their sparing provision of ancillary material, and the passages I've been discussing are of course random samples, for hundreds of such cases exist. The modern-spelling version, like many of its rivals in the market, is content to provide bare texts, rather handsomely printed though in double columns, plus a general introduction, a list of contemporary allusions to Shakespeare, and 17 illustrations, many though not all of them perfectly familiar. The general introduction includes a short Life of Shakespeare, a section on the drama and theatre of his time, a brief survey of the early printing of the plays, and a final section called 'The Modern Editor's Task', which usefully indicates the remarkable variety of problems set by the different sorts of copy used when the plays were printed, but also raises the question as to when variation between two Jacobean versions becomes so great that it is best to think of them as distinct and independent.
This is the point at which the Oxford editors have been boldest. In Hamlet there is a Quarto of authority, probably set for the most part from Shakespeare's own papers, which contains 230 lines not in the Folio version of 1623, and does not contain 80 more that are in the Folio. Since the latter was set mostly from a theatrical manuscript, the editors regard it as a revision of the Quarto which Shakespeare presumably authorised. Not feeling that they could print the longer early version as well as the slightly abbreviated Folio one, they have used the latter. Formerly editors following F have included the Q parts, but here they are printed as an appendix to the play, on the ground that if you put them in you have a composite that was never performed. The editors seem proud of this decision, though it means that their text no longer includes some famous verse from the opening scene and the Closet scene, a lot of Osric, and the whole of the final soliloquy, 'How all occasions do inform against me ... '
We may well applaud this move as brave and logical, and it is true that modern editors tend to err on the side of timidity: yet there is something to be said against it. The habit of editors is understandably to climb back as far as possible towards the version they think had the final approval of the poet; they know very well that the best they can hope for is a rough approximation, but, given a choice between an early version and a version used in Shakespeare's lifetime and possibly under his direction, they will, if forced to choose, choose the latter, even if the reason for the cuts is uncertain (since the Folio version is extremely long without additions from Q, the reason is unlikely to have been simply performance time; a net cut of 150 lines would save only ten or twelve minutes, and by the same arithmetic the remaining 3900 lines would occupy around four and a half hours; to get it done on a winter afternoon at the Globe you would need to cut another two hours of it, roughly half the play).
However, the real objection to leaving out the bits of the first scene and the Fortinbras soliloquy is simply that they belong to our Hamlet. The problem is one that comes up in Biblical studies: it is recognised for instance that two independent and mutually contradictory versions have been combined in the opening passages of Genesis, but the canonical Genesis is the one we have, not the disentangled fragments. They are, we may say, too intrinse to unloose; they are entrenched in tradition and have for millennia been one book and not more. The Oxford editors profess amazement at the timidity of their predecessors, all save one, who was brave enough to put the intrusive Q material into square brackets. G. R. Hibbard, editor of the Oxford single-volume Hamlet, argues strongly that the Folio was printed from a fair copy made by the author himself; naturally he would make changes, some slight, as he worked his way through, and 'the cuts and additions seem to be parts of a definite policy designed to make the play more accessible to theatregoers in general by giving it a more direct and unimpeded action, pruning away some of its verbal elaborations, and smoothing out its more abrupt transitions.'3 But he admits that many of the changes seem not to further this cause, and it is obvious that the most striking of F's additions, the comments about the boy actors, didn't exactly promote direct and unimpeded action. Hibbard also relegates the Q parts of the opening scene, and the great soliloquy, to an appendix. We are being told to get used to a new Hamlet.
The whole question of the text of Hamlet is horribly complex, and the editors must have been tempted to print Q as well as F, but they decided that it would be 'extravagant' to do so, and, forced to choose, chose the more 'theatrical' version. However, they made an exception for King Lear, because in that case the differences between the two versions affect the story-line, especially in the last two acts. A tendency to think of this play as extant in two versions has been growing of late. The arguments are extremely technical, as several books have recently shown, but the immediate question is whether readers of such plain texts as these will benefit much from the editors' decision. They may not be very interested in the conduct of the military operations which lead up to the deaths of Cordelia and the King – as Albany says of the death of Edmund, 'That's but a trifle here' (both texts). It is a perpetual irritation to scholars that so many people still think of these plays as they first came on them in such editions as the old Globe, and it is their pardonable professional deformity to exaggerate the differences superior information can impose. This doesn't mean that editors should simply mark up the texts of other editors, only that the scope for sensible change is less than it pleases them to believe. Bowers was right to warn his colleagues that the incredible refinement of bibliographical technique in our time might not succeed in making many substantial emendations to Shakespeare's text, and it is worth remembering that Hinman's work on the printing of the Folio, which made available vast quantities of new information about the way it was put together, the habits of various compositors, etc, didn't, so far as I know, establish or make certain a single new reading.
The principal effort of the main Oxford editors has gone into the text. Each play, in both original and modern spelling, is given a page of bland appreciative comment ('In Titus Andronicus, as in his early history plays, Shakespeare is at his most successful in the expression of grief and the portrayal of vigorously energetic evil'; in Romeo and Juliet 'Shakespeare's mastery over a wide range of verbal styles combines with his psychological perceptiveness to create a richer gallery of memorable characters than in any of his earlier plays,' etc). It is claimed that the chronological order of composition has been freshly established, but the evidence isn't available here, and will, when it appears, chiefly concern the order of the earlier plays. Some may think it a nuisance to have the second and third parts of Henry VI before the first part, with Titus in between: it was sensible of Heminge and Condell to give them in the usual order. Pericles, a special case because it survives only in a quarto which is dependent on memorial reconstruction, and does not appear in the First Folio, is the kind of challenge the editors most enjoy. They offer a 'reconstructed' text in the modern-spelling volume and a diplomatic reprint in the original-spelling, which excuses them from the job of inventing Elizabethan-compositor's spellings.
The ancillary material in the original-spelling version is identical with that in the modern version, except for an impressive essay on 'The Spelling and Punctuation of Shakespeare's Time' by Vivian Salmon. It is mostly what it says it is, but it is also a defence of the original-spelling version, suggesting that the funny appearance of the old spelling is less off-putting than Professor Wells supposed in 1979. As far as can be told, Shakespeare was himself a fanciful speller ('scilens' for 'silence') and despite some efforts to control them the compositors made almost as free; certainly they added letters to fill lines, substituted letters they had for letters they had temporarily run out of, and so on. Sometimes they can be identified by their orthographical habits. Nor were they the only re-spellers; occasionally they worked from copy prepared by a scribe, notably the well-known Ralph Crane, who also had his own way with a text; and there were proof correctors, who perhaps added their pennyworth. But Ms Salmon is still alert to the evidence for genuine Shakespearian spellings, and hopes that when fully armed with the Textual Companion as well as 'a critical old-spelling edition' we shall join in the game of identifying 'patterns of Shakespearian orthography'. Well, perhaps. At least if we make ourselves aware of spelling conventions we can judge for ourselves 'the meanings and the forms which Shakespeare and his fellow actors found appropriate to a printed text, unaffected by the cumulative modernisations of generations of editors'. 'The general reader' is included in this invitation, though it is not explained why he would be worse-off with Hinman's photographs.
My overall impression is that despite the undoubted learning and skill of the editors the edition suffers in two main ways. First, it is altogether too anxious to surprise us. There may be an argument for calling Falstaff 'Oldcastle' in 1 Henry IV, and there is certainly an argument against doing so, but it is characteristic of this edition that the former argument prevails.4 There is a case for calling 2 and 3 Henry VI The First Part of the Contention and Richard Duke of York: it isn't a very good case, since by the time 1 Henry VI was written and so entitled it is evident that the second and third parts had acquired the titles by which they have been known ever since, but these editors have committed themselves to the odder choice of title and of order.
There will doubtless be a vast amount of detailed comment and criticism when the whole operation is completed. At the moment it seems that the single-play volumes and the modern-spelling collection, despite the absence of apparatus and the continual self-advertisement, can hold their own against most opposition. The raison d'être of the old-spelling collection is doubtful: for defences of its silent alterations and for readings at present lacking any explanatory support we shall have to wait for the Textual Companion. At £50 it is going to be an expensive supplement, but if you want to know exactly what is going on in the Collected Editions you will have to have it. One can't help thinking there were some flaws in the strategic thinking of those who planned this large publishing enterprise.
Edwards's Shakespeare: A Writer's Progress has now appeared in paperback (Oxford, 204 pp., £4.95, 23 April, 0 19 289166 9). It is far from being the usual routine survey, for Edwards is a distinguished veteran Shakespearian, who for many years has displayed much critical independence: his book is brief but useful. Another introductory volume is The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare Studies, edited by Stanley Wells (Cambridge, 329 pp., £27 and £8.95, 4 December 1986, 0 521 26737 4). This is Mark 3 of the Cambridge Companions, and contains chapters by well-known hands on the Life, the Thought of the Age, the Language, the Playhouse, comedy, tragedy, history, text, stage history, and history of criticism. A distinct improvement on Mark 2. Meanwhile studies of Shakespeare's nachleben, like all other Shakespeare studies, continue without remission. Notable is Jonathan Bate's Shakespeare and the English Romantic Imagination (Oxford, 276 pp., £22.50, 5 June 1986, 0 19 812848 7), a study of something we thought we knew about but largely didn't. Richard Foulkes's Shakespeare and the Victorian Stage (Cambridge, 311 pp., £30, 14 August 1986, 0 521 30110 6) is a lively and sometimes surprising collection of essays about stage design, historical verisimilitude, Irving, Victorian interpretation, German and Italian Shakespeare, and the productions of provincial companies more impressive and influential than we might nowadays expect.

← I'll Get You My Pretty, and All Your Crumbs Too!
Strawberry cake mission ACCOMPLISHED! Last summer, I set out to make a strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese icing. Although the icing was a huge success, the cake was a gluey flop. These cupcakes are the complete opposite! They are light and fluffy, with a delicate crumb. They are flavorful and perfectly moist, and one bite reveals the tasty strawberry gems tucked inside. Topped with my all-time favorite frosting, these cupcakes are a joyful indulgence that have the power to brighten any day.
To make them, start by bringing 1.5 sticks of butter and 1 brick of cream cheese to room temperature. With a mixer, cream together 1/2 stick of butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
One at a time, crack in 2 eggs, making sure to completely combine each. Mix in 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt (I used non-fat), 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
While mixing, gradually add in 1 and 3/4 cups of cake flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2/3 cup of milk (I used non-fat). Continue mixing until the batter is smooth. Preheat your oven to 350º F.
Then, prepare the strawberry gems. Remove the hulls from about 6 strawberries. Slice the strawberries lengthwise into quarters. Pat the strawberries dry, and then toss them with a little bit of cake flour. This step will prevent the strawberries from oozing into the cupcakes.
Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers, and fill them 2/3 of the way full with the batter. You should get approximately 17 cupcakes. Stick 3 strawberry spears vertically in each cupcake. The vertical placement makes it easier to eat the cupcakes later so you don't have to bite through horizontal strawberries.
Bake the cupcakes for 14 minutes, rotating the pan around half way through for even cooking. Once the cupcakes have cooled slightly, pop them out of the tin and let them hang out on a rack while you prepare the frosting.
Chop up 4 strawberries and beat them with a mixer until they are very runny.
Add the brick of room-temperature cream cheese and butter to the mixing bowl, and beat them until they are fully combined and slightly fluffy. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, or more to taste, and mix well. Seriously, try not to eat all of the frosting before it gets onto the cupcakes. It is very tempting!! When the cupcakes have fully cooled, ice them with the strawberry cream cheese frosting. You can use an offset spatula to spread the frosting or a pastry bag to pipe it.
I prefer eating these cupcakes slightly chilled because the icing takes on a firmer consistency. Unwrap the cupcake, and admire the strawberries shining through the cake's exterior.
The cupcake recipe is adapted from the Pastry Affair.
I waited many months for strawberries to come back in season before retesting this recipe. My patience paid off!
Oh my Witty!! Yum, these look delicious!! I think my girls would LOVE to make them!! I love the strawberry gem technique – very clever, good tips!! Thank you!!
I hope you enjoy them. I'm already craving a second batch!

Alaska is a U.S. state situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent. Bordering the state to the east are the Canadian territory of Yukon and the Canadian province of British Columbia; to the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. To the west and south is the Pacific Ocean, with Russia (specifically, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Kamchatka Krai) farther west across the Bering Strait. Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, the 3rd least populous and the least densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately half of Alaska's residents (estimated at 738,432 by the Census Bureau in 2015 live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska's economy is dominated by the oil, natural gas, and fishing industries, resources which it has in abundance. Tourism and military bases are also a significant part of the economy. Although it had been occupied for over ten thousand years by indigenous peoples, from the 18th century onward, European powers considered the territory of Alaska ripe for exploitation and trade. The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959
Capital: Juneau
Population: 738,432

Language: English, Eskimo-Aleut, Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit,
1. Denali National Park
In the northern part of the Alaska Range, Denali National Park is the one of the largest in the United States and encompasses North America's highest mountain. Denali is the 20,320-foot peak's traditional name, but modern explorers dubbed it Mount McKinley. The name is a strong point of local contention. But names aside, the six million acres of wide river valleys, tundra, high alpine ranges, and glacier-draped mountains are purely spectacular. A single road leads into the park, and only park-approved buses are permitted to travel beyond Savage River. Views of Denali can be enjoyed from the park road, weather permitting. Located midway between Anchorage and Fairbanks, Denali is the home of grizzly bears, wolves, reindeer, elk, and other animals. More than 167 species of birds have been recorded in the park. Another favorite among the park's many things to do are the Sled Dog Kennels, which offer demonstrations and are home to dozens of energetic huskies.
Admission: $10
Address: Milepost 240, George Parks Hwy, Denali National Park
2. Tracy Arm Fjord
A fjord edged with glaciers, Tracy Arm is located south of Juneau and is a popular destination for cruise ships and boat tours. Waterfalls tumble down the sharp rock walls and glaciers calve, creating small icebergs. The scenic setting lies within the bounds of the Tongass National Forest. At the head of the fjord sit the twin Sawyer Glaciers. Wildlife sightings are common on tours, whether it's a brown bear or moose on land, or the whales and seals that inhabit these waters. Tracy Arm offers just a small slice of glacier viewing in Alaska. Other tourist favorites include Glacier Bay National Park, northwest of Juneau, and Prince William Sound, near Anchorage.
3. Kenai Fjords National Park
Protecting much of the fjord-riddled coastline of the Kenai Peninsula (south of Anchorage), this national park offers some of the best sightseeing in Alaska. Not only do panoramas take in the many glaciers of the Harding Icefield and an uninhabited coastline, but the national park is home to monstrously large brown bears that feed on the fat-rich salmon. Many tourist options converge in the surrounding areas, be it the end of Hwy 1 in Homer, or the terminus of the Alaska Railroad and access to the Exit Glacier, both in Seward.
4 .Alaska Highway
The Alaska Highway runs from Dawson Creek in British Columbia (Canada) through the Yukon Territory to Fairbanks, in the center of Alaska. It was built for military purposes in 1942, during WWII, in the record time of only eight months. But since the end of the war, the route has been the most important means of access by land to the Yukon Territory and southern Alaska, and a favorite with recreational vehicle travelers. The highway passes through Whitehorse, Canada before crossing the international border into Alaska and ending in Fairbanks. Motels, shops, and gas stations lies at intervals of 30-50 miles.
5. Inside Passage
The most popular way to visit the Inside Passage is to cruise through the fjords on large ships, charter boats, and private yachts, or to stop off the highway at Haines, Skagway, or Hyder. This section of southeast Alaska offers incredible scenery of glaciers, mountains, and ocean, and is home to an abundance of wildlife. The area is also inhabited by the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Along the coastal passage, the Tongass National Forest covers 17 million acres and includes islands, mountains, glaciers, ice fields, fjords, and waterfalls. Included in the forest is Prince of Wales Island, one of the largest islands in the US. Major towns along the route include Skagway with its Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, the once-chief town of Russian America Sitka, and Ketchikan, where stoic totems are on display at both Totem Bight State Historic Park and the Totem Heritage Center.
