We are pleased to announce major upgrades to the Glengary Shopping Center located on Westerville Road at Dempsey Road. Renovations will include demolishing the vacated Hollywood Movie Theatre to make room for a new ALDI store. Fresh produce, gluten-free foods, dairy and bakery selections are just a few of the items that will line the store's shelves. Its modern design will also showcase open ceilings, natural lighting and environmentally-friendly building materials.
Simultaneously, the balance of the center will undergo an extensive facelift and façade improvement plan. The car wash and empty gas station will also be demolished during this process. The combination of these efforts will result in a new look and feel that is representative of the improvements currently taking place in the immediate area.
In 2017 the Blendon Township Trustees began investing into the Westerville Road Corridor by adding streetlights, landscaping, and fiber optic lines. Everyone is pleased to see new development approaching this area.

Stillness cleanses the mind – sit in silence 15 minutes at a time, keep on increasing the 15 minute intervals. Blessed is the one who is pure in spirit. We can cleanse our bad karma's by doing good karma's. To detoxify, work in selflessness, dedication and satsang.
In rare cases one may be born as an animal or some other form – like in case of heinous crimes. Law of Karma is not punitive, but reformative. Law of Karma is one aspect of God and God is love.
Forgiveness is important because peace of mind is the richest treasure of mankind. Purity has precedence over forgiveness but forgiveness includes forgetfulness. Shampoo your mind everyday means forgiving.
Besides selflessness and humility, self-control is required and the best way is to walk the way of acceptance. Let thy will prevail – Tum hi sab kuch jaanat Priyatam, teri icha puran ho. Sukh mein, dukh mein, mere Priyatam, Teri icha puran ho! Thou knowest everything beloved, Let thy will always be done. In Joy and Sorrow, my Beloved, let Thy will always be done!
Difference between affirmation and visualization – Visualization is more powerful, it can alter reality or you!
During pregnancy, Mother should be careful that no negative thought or feeling enters her mind. As much of spiritual listening, singing, thinking that she can do. Mother has to talk to the child in the womb with spiritual lessons.
The soul does not go anywhere after it leaves the body because space dimension applies so long only once it is in the body. The soul's journey is a journey is consciousness, which is different from space. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness.
Keeping some time for silence is so that you have time to think of God. God gives us 1440 minutes every day. Once you thank God for giving you this birth, then next question automatically arises – What for is this human birth? What are the duties as a human being? We realize that it is a simple way, but we keep on postponing.
Sufi's & Yogi's insist eat less, sleep less and talk less – that is a way to God. The Gita speaks of the Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga and other yogas – the path that I follow is Alpa yoga or Sahaj yoga. Bhakti yoga is aligned to Alpa yoga. Sahaj yoga is yoga of surrendering to the Master. A time will come when you will be asked to render account for every idle word you have spoken – ascribed to Jesus.
How to teach silence to the child in this age of so many distractions? We must teach the child to sit in silence everyday for a while. In silence one can communicate anything. Emphasis in today's education is on words, not deeds.
Selflessness is very necessary – to fly, a man needs grace of Guru and God. Without grace, the disciple may become proud. He has to thank the God and feel grateful, that it is God who brought him in contact with the Guru. Without Guru's blessings, the disciple is nothing. Behind all disciple's efforts, is the blessings of the Guru. Blessed is the man who knows it. It is because of him that he walks on the way of humility.
Who benefits from listening to the mantra's – if it is the one who hears, then yes. One does Kirtan when one is about to pass away. Why do we chant a mantra a particular number of times? – it is to define a thing. Usually 1,25,000 times so that one gets the habit. We can work while we pray and we can do vice versa. Purpose is to realise oneness between you and naam. Its coming back of an ancient memory.
Normal body is of 5 elements – Astral body is made of thought. Causal body is made up of "being". From the being comes thought, from thought comes action.
A word is also a deed – Karma gets created by words. Brahma Lok, Shiva Lok, Vishnu Lok are levels of awareness – the roots are in the causal world, but they don't occupy space. Evil thought becomes Asura, the hell. There is hope for everyone.
We become what we think. In the astral world, it is all thoughts. Physical world is a world of trial and tests. Thought can help in subduing this body but will is needed. Thoughts have vibrations which make you ultimately what you are. If you wish to change, you have to change your vibration.
Best time to pray is Brahma muhurat i.e 4 am to 4.30 am – there is a descent of vibrations from above. Second is mid-afternoon, third is Sandhya i.e twilight and fourth is just as you go to sleep. Remember the Lord for a minute after every hour or do it 5 times every day – once when you get up, once when you take breakfast, lunch, dinner and sleep. If we are specific, it has an effect – hence 5 times. Azaan or Bell is 5 times a day, if you don't pray, you feel guilty.
A spiritual person is one whose mind and heart are moving towards God all the time. A truly spiritual person is a lover and love is of 3 types – love if someone loves you, love if someone does something to you and third of "Agape" – it is given inspite of whatever you may do. This type of love makes a person spiritual.
Meditation is sinking deeper and deeper within yourself. Man has been able to control nature so much so that he says "I have mastered nature". Man has to know what he is. Observing your breathing is the key. But you will get more benefit if you repeat the name of your deity.
When my Guru didn't pay attention to me, it was a process of purification and it was a lesson in humility. The Master knows best, the disciple, the shishya has to become a shishu, a family member.
The planets create electromagnetic fields – we may be born in the same place at same time but destinies would be different, because of this electromagnetic field. To not get affected by these energies, we have to discover our electromagnetic shield – to create this shield, one has to know the mechanics, which ancient people knew.
If you are on the spiritual path, people will believe that you are being hard on the family. The seeker on the path does not wish to draw closer to the spirit of attachment. In every one of his actions, he is careful to see that he takes a detached view of life.
Loneliness is a great psychological disease. We were always taught in childhood you are not alone. Repeat God's name and go in the dark.
Secret of embracing pain is to not regard it as pain, and offer it to God so that the pain of some others is lessoned. Common man finds some sort of physical reason why the pain has occurred, which is not the right way. Nature wishes to teach us the lesson of acceptance. As life goes on, this lesson becomes more and more intense. Present day education doesn't encourage this.
Each child brings its own destiny with itself. One can mold oneself but leave it to Law of Karma, which is not punitive, but reformative. So the Guru does not interfere with the Law of Karma, he encourages.
Gratitude is Number 1 on the path of spirituality. One prayer – Thank you God! It brings us to acceptance. I learnt through association of people who accepted.
A Fakir is supposed to control all these desires and live a pure life. He does not waste his time in idle talk but talks to the heart within, the beloved.

Newsletter - September 2016
Director's Brief
by Byron Wolff
It would be fair to say that the last few months have presented us with an "early Spring" like we have never seen before in the Australian Beef industry.
unseasonably high rain falls over large areas of the continent have assisted in ensuring beef prices continue to smash records.
Since last newsletter, the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator has risen to 725 c/kg dressed weight, live export prices has remained strong and a new record has been set for the highest ever average sale price for a bull sale in Australia - $16,349.
http://www.mla.com.au/prices-markets/about-the-national-livestock-reporting-service/eastern-young-cattle-indicator/
I was recently discussing this current phenomenon with a client who summed it up pretty well with, "this is uncharted territory, it's an exciting time and I am glad to be a part of it!". I couldn't agree more.
Needless to say that demand for our superior livestock handling equipment has never been stronger, with many producers now taking the opportunity to upgrade their long overdue facilities with our industry leading equipment to improve safety and efficiency.
Let's hope the next 3 months continue to be as exciting as the past three and we all maintain our sanity (and enjoy) the charge into the silly season.

Iranda Feedlot, SA
by Simon Anderson
Currently Thompson Longhorn is in the process of installing a major yard upgrade at Iranda Beef's Tintinara Feedlot in South Australia, roughly two and a half hours from Adelaide. The project has been divided into three stages so that it has minimal impact on the daily operation of the feedlot and so all normal activities can continue relatively unhindered. These stages are for some arrival yards, a new induction centre and a new load-out facility. Each of these stages have been designed to fit within the constraints of the site and join into the existing infrastructure.
Original feedlot and induction centre
The first stage, the arrival yards, has already been installed. The purpose of this stage was to increase the storage capacity for arriving cattle before they are inducted into the feedlot. It joins on to the existing induction facility and is designed to increase productivity and limit wasted time caused by chasing cattle from more distant locations.
Preparing old yards for integration with the new
The second stage, the new induction centre is currently being installed. This area links some recently constructed feedlot pens to the rest of the feedlot as well as providing the feedlot with a newer and better equiped induction centre. The main upgrades included in this area are the crowding yard, vee single lane, restrainer and sorting system. All of this equipment has been automated for easy and stress free cattle handling and also allows operation with fewer staff. Every gate through the core centre is pneumatically operated from a remote control and the operators will be able to get a smooth flow of cattle through the system with minimal effort, all the while being out of the pen and greatly reducing the risk of injury.
Standing fences for stage 1
The third and last stage to be installed will be the new load-out facility. This area has been designed to suit the site and consequently has a dock style dual loading ramp which not only reduces the overall length required to load cattle but also utilises the site's natural fall to encourage cattle onto a truck with minimal effort from the operator. The ramp is accompanied by six pens which hold one deck of cattle, ensuring that time is not wasted by bringing cattle all the way from the feed pens to the truck. This greatly reduces loading time, increasing potential throughput of the loading area
Concreting posts in place
This project is scheduled for completion this month and we are looking forward to another satisfied customer. The project will have been taken from conceptual designs through to a supplied and constructed product on their site to suit their needs. What more could you want?
Featured Product - One size does NOT fit all
by Kelly Keong
The title statement certainly applies to the width of single file laneways (races) and especially processing laneways. Most smaller private grazing operations have mixed needs and budget constraints which dictate a lane with straight (vertical) sides and a fixed width. This is probably the most sensible choice given the actual numbers of cattle to be processed. A few calves and weaners may turn about in the race, but given the numbers processed per year, this does not burn up appreciable extra time.
Smaller animals turning around in a straight sided single lane
A large scale operation that processes thousands of smaller animals will benefit a great deal by addressing the time wasted of constantly having to turn animals back to the proper direction before the processing cradle or crush. It is easy to see that this drains the energy out of operational staff and increases their exposure to risk. It is more difficult to see the other cost incurred by this; the increased stress on an animal being processed, unless it can be seen as bruising or measured in a controlled environment like a feed pen.
Adjustable width single lane
Thompson Longhorn manufactures curved laneways that help to combat these issues. They come in three very different configurations and there are also straight sections to match. These configurations are:
· Straight sided fixed width lanes
· Vee profile lane (most popular with saleyards)
· Adjustable width lane that can be moved to accommodate weaners or bulls with the push of a button.
Adjustable width single lane installed in a set of yards
It is important to assess the actual return on investment that comes with having the right laneway to suit your needs. This can be measured in labour saving, staff safety and animal welfare. You will notice a remarkable difference when animals are walking through a lane that actually suits the size of the cattle being handled.
After a whole lot of planning and preparation, the day is finally here, the day that the construction of your new yards starts.
You have decided where you would like to situate them on your property, so it is time for things to start taking shape. If any civil work needs to be done, now is the time to do it. Building a decent pad is essential to the effectiveness of the yards. You don't want low spots which turn into boggy mud pits where you need to walk to work the cattle. Then the concrete needs to be installed. Thompson Longhorn typically install all of the core working equipment on concrete. This means that the highest traffic area will not wear down from continued use and also requires less maintenance. You will also have a flat (hopefully clean) area to be working from as you do what you need to do to your herd.
Concrete slab, ready for yards to be installed on it.
So the site is prepped. The slab has been laid. What next? The steelwork of course!
It is an exciting moment when you first see the truck laden with steel roll through your front gate, knowing that your yards are about to be erected. You have seen your design on paper but seeing the truckloads of pre-fabricated gates and panels just makes it all seem more real.
A truck load of panels and gates arriving on site.
The first steel to be erected is the roof over the working area (if required). Assembling this first gives the site installation crew a nice, shady, weatherproof area to assemble the complex pre-fabricated working equipment such as the crowding yard and single curved lane. While the roof is going up, another team will work on welding the large gate frames which would be too big to be transported if they had been welded at our factory. Next, the working centre comprised of standard products is installed. Our experienced crew can install all of the standard products under the roof in a few short days. If you have purchased a loading ramp, it will also be erected at this time.
Core working area installed under an existing roof.
Once the core centre has been installed, the erection of the yards that join to it begins. The locations of all of the posts are marked on the ground and the post holes are drilled and the soil removed. The gate frames are then stood in the holes and concreted in place. Next, the posts are all stood in the holes and the rails are inserted and welded off, helping to support and set the height of each post before it is concreted in place. The concrete is then poured into all of the remaining post holes and the fences are completed. Lastly, all of the pre-fabricated gates are installed in their frames and the latching is attached.
A completed set of yards.
Once everything is installed, all that is left is QA checks and the commissioning of the site.
Now, after all the planning and organising, your yards stand proudly in front of you. A dream now realised. The only thing left to do is entirely up to you. Using them and getting them dirty.

Romelu Lukaku needs to prove himself with Manchester United in the Champions League in order to be considered "world class", says Paul Ince.
The Belgium international has impressed for club and country over recent years, with his prolific strike rate earning him a £75 million move to Old Trafford this summer.
The 24-year-old is, however, yet to test himself on the grandest of stages, with 2017-18 set to see him turning out among Europe's elite for the first time.
Ince is looking for Lukaku to embrace that challenge and show that he is deserving of a standing alongside the very best in the business.
The United legend told the Mail on Sunday ahead of an opening group stage clash with Basel on Tuesday: "It is highly unusual these days for a £75m striker not to have had previous experience and, if he wants to be considered world class, this is the stage where he has to prove himself.
Lukaku was among the goals again on Saturday as he netted in United's 2-2 draw with Stoke, but he has been warned that he will need to alter his game slightly in order to meet the demands of Champions League competition.
Ince added: "Lukaku is a goalscoring machine and would cause problems to any defence in the world because of the way he runs at people and keeps his composure in the penalty area.
United head into their first continental clash of the campaign on the back of their first domestic setback, with a stalemate against Stoke bringing a run of three successive victories in the Premier League to an end.
While disappointed to have dropped points against the Potters, Ince believes Jose Mourinho's side remain in good shape and sees them making positive progress at home and abroad.
He said: "People will accuse me of bias but I genuinely feel my former club United represent the Premier League's best chance of getting to the quarter-finals and beyond.
"Jose Mourinho knows how to win and will be going for the throat.

Lately, my name and game has been noodles. Well not my name, but my game certainly has been because I've been happily slurping away all kinds of stir-fried and soupy noodles at my favorite local joints here! Not to mention I've been giving my local wet market noodle shop lady A LOT of business because of all the new noodle recipes I've been testing out and developing!
This Stir-fried E-fu Noodles Shrimp has been my latest success and obsession, and you're about to be enlightened!
If any of the above sounds appealing to you, then read on my dear friends!
E-fu noodles (also known as Yi Mien伊麵) are a type of Cantonese noodles made from egg and wheat flour. They have a spongy and chewy texture, which allows them to soak up all the sauce they're cooked in. These noodles are known for their bright golden-yellow color, as well as for how super long they are!
They also symbolize longevity and are usually eaten on special occasions such as birthdays, Chinese New Year, and special Chinese festivals. They're first deep-fried and then sold in round discs in bags at wet market noodle stalls or in packages at supermarkets. You're meant to half cook them first by boiling them for a few minutes before using them in either a stir-fried, braised, or soup noodle dish.
For the sauce, the usual suspects in an Asian pantry make their way in – low sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce (the thick and sweet kind – I use one from Thailand), oyster sauce, sesame oil, some water and a bit of corn starch to thicken things up a bit.
I also use a mushroom flavored soy sauce because it adds an extra oomph factor with its mushroom essence and also gives the noodles a beautiful dark reddish-brown color. Since I always have to have something spicy in there, I use S&B's Fried Garlic in Chili Oil for some heat and garlic flavor! 👈 This stuff is amazing and I recommend using S&B's over any other brand as the flavors are more pronounced.
Other than that, you only need to chop up a handful of essential aromatics and ingredients – garlic, ginger, onion, fresh red chilies (omit these if you don't want the extra heat), some brown straw (shimeji) mushrooms, and Chinese chives – before you stir-fry yourself up a batch of these beautiful noodles!
I DON'T EAT SEAFOOD. CAN I USE ANOTHER PROTEIN?
Yes! My protein of choice is shrimp in this recipe because I felt like seafood the day I came up with this recipe. But if you prefer to use sliced beef, pork, or chicken, I say go for it because it'll taste just as delicious in the spicy mushroom-y sauce!
You bet you can! Just omit the meat to make it a vegetarian dish – this is something I do regularly when I occasionally feel like a meatless Monday and it tastes fabulous! Also, use a vegetarian mushroom flavored oyster sauce instead of regular oyster sauce.


"Suki and myself were attending the Intercoiffure conference in New York in 2008, just before Obama was elected, and Vidal Sassoon, the greatest hairdresser of all time, was the guest of honour. We were invited to dine at the head table next to Vidal and his wife. Now, sometimes you meet your heroes and they disappoint you, but I found Vidal to be everything I admired: talented, intelligent, gracious, funny, and purposeful. He dedicated his speech to encourage everyone to vote for change, to take care of their neighbours, and to give back to their communities. I was truly inspired."
"Moving to Vancouver from Russia I was looking for a beautiful inspiring future. I walked into the South Granville salon and there it was -very stylish people behind the chair making their guests look absolutely gorgeous! That's how I decided I wanted to make people look beautiful and make them happy! And I love to share my knowledge with my students at Suki's Academy."
"My first hair idol, Kathy Simon, used to teach at Suki's Academy. I saw Kathy's hair cut at Suki's Academy in 1997. She is the one who taught me how to cut hair and she is the one who planted a seed in me. I am still growing this tree and enjoying cutting hair. 'Thank you Kathy for letting me find what I love to do.' I have been teaching Suki's academy for over 10 years and trying to plant a seed in my students just like she did for me. She changed my life big time."
"One memorable moment in my hairdressing career: a hush of awe bestilled the salon upon his arrival. Unbeknownst to me I would be styling and cutting "The Great One's" hair. A true gentleman, Wayne Gretzky."
"Thinking back to 9th grade, I turned to my friends asking for hair cutting and styling, to help create a bathroom salon. Soon I was offering eyebrow services, highlighting hair, cutting, colouring, and providing fringe trims. By the time I begged Suki's to be a shampoo girl, I had already learned a lot. Just don't let me see those cuts now - I also had so, so much more to learn."
"I remember my first hair show i was at Intercoiffure in Las Vegas. I was young and I was fresh on the floor. I was honoured because I was selected as one of the top 10 contestants out of North America, and received 2nd Place in Las Vegas. It was one of the most amazing experiences I had from Suki's. I'm so lucky to work at Suki's because I can experience a lot through Suki's. Best yet, almost every moment I'm with my guests, I feel like I found the right career. Smiles and hugs from them makes me happy every time I receive them."
"The day I walked into Suki's I was treated with such respect, and was so impressed by the space. I was met by Suki herself who spent over an hour with me explaining the opportunity ahead of me. I was introduced to my bright future and wanted to be a part of what Suki had created. I'm forever grateful for that day!"
"I have had many memorable moments in my career, but the part that I really truly value is the relationships I have with my clients. I enjoy sharing moments with my clients, like when they graduate from university and get their first job or promotion. When they meet their boyfriend and then years later they get engaged and I have the opportunity to style their hair for their wedding. I celebrate them having a baby and meeting their children. I can be a support for them when they go through traumas.
"My hairdressing moment is any day my guest trusts me with their hair. To be a part of their decision to change their image or look can be an intimidating one. To feel that they can trust me, it feels great."
"My favourite moment in hair dressing was when Aurelie Jarnet and myself won L'Oreal Professionnel Canadian Colour Trophy, and got to represent Canada on the world stage in Portugal."


This is my Mama's Chicken Soup (AKA Jewish Penicillin). It is the best chicken soup in the entire world. It can and will cure any ailment under the sun, including a broken heart. This isn't up for debate. This is fact. It is science. It is Math. 1+1= Mama's Chicken Soup! Are we clear?
Growing up, my mother made Chicken Soup at least once a week. We ate it so often that at one point I never wanted to see it again. In addition to meeting her weekly Chicken Soup quota, she also made it (and continues to do so) on every single holiday – Jewish or otherwise. I would know it's a holiday when I saw that she used the Chicken Soup as a base to make her Matzo Ball soup (something I will never get tired of!).
The recipe I'm sharing below is a codified version of something that is intangible. Chicken Soup, my Mama's included, is an organic, living thing. It changes a little bit every time and doesn't need to be made by following any specific measurements.
Chicken Soup is something you can feel your way through and improvisation is a part of the process. It is the Jazz music of the culinary world.
Of course, this is not something that comes easily to everyone. It takes practice and a great deal of trial and error. I have probably tried to recreate my Mama's Chicken Soup no less than 2 dozen times and it still doesn't hold a candle to hers. What can I say? She has that touch!
But, that shouldn't stop anyone, myself included, from trying! I'm happy to say that with the below recipe, you can come very close to tasting a big part of my childhood.
You don't have to use raw chicken quarters. You can use a roasted chicken carcass. Roasted bones have a concentrated flavour that gets released into the broth as it slowly cooks. It's also a great way to reduce waste!
Likewise, using whole, fresh, beautiful produce to make the stock is a waste of money. Instead, you should be using vegetable scraps saved from other recipes you make throughout the week. I keep a 'stock bag' in the freezer for precisely this purpose. I continuously add to it every time I peel an onion or carrot, trim celery or have odd cloves of garlic.
However, it is virtually impossible for me to quantify carrot trimmings and onion peels. It's also very hard for me to explain how to cook without a recipe.
Therefore, I recommend sticking to the ingredients and measurements below so that you have a reference point.
My Mama's Chicken Soup is, for all intents and purposes, a recipe for making stock. The only difference is that the we usually treat the stock as a meal in itself.
When making with raw chicken, we shred the poached meat and eat it with the flavourful broth.
If using roasted bones, we use the liquid as stock for other things.
You can use it however you please. It will undoubtedly make everything taste better.
If you are going to use raw chicken parts, such as legs and thighs, or even an entire bird, I recommend purchasing Kosher or Halal. Unlike non-religious butchering practices, one of the requirements in both Kosher and Halal laws is for the blood to be drained from the animal.
Religious considerations aside, this will result in a less cloudy stock. Not to mention the fact that the animals must be slaughtered in a humane way or the meat is considered inedible.
If, however, you are using the bones or carcass of a roasted bird, this is less of a concern since most of the blood will have been cooked and/or drained after carving. On the other hand, many roasted chickens are first seasoned or marinated in any number of spices, etc., and these will inevitably colour your stock.
I once made stock from the remains of my Cajun Roast Chicken. While incredibly delicious, the stock was noticeably darker and more red than usual.
A cloudy stock occurs when you do not skim the foam that rises to the surface of the water when boiling the meat. The foam is the result of solidified impurities in the meat.
Personally, I don't get too fussy with how clear my soup/stock looks. I do my best to skim as much foam as possible but if there are flecks floating around, all the better, I say! More flavour!
Simmer the chicken on its own in water for 10 minutes. Skim any foam that rises to the surface before adding in all of your vegetables and aromatics. One thing I've noticed is that while adding everything at once results in a more flavourful broth, the vegetables and herbs trap some of the foam and make it harder to skim, which later solidifies and lingers in the stock.
Follow the recipe below, as outlined, but transfer the the remaining stock through a fine-meshed sieve or cheesecloth. This will ensure maximum flavour and a cleaner finished product.
Although you should skim any foam that rises to the surface, you should definitely leave the fat globules. Those beautiful, shiny bubbles that dance across the surface of your soup are rendered chicken fat (AKA Schmaltz). This is the holy grail of Jewish delicacies and is pure, unadulterated flavour!
You will notice significantly more schmaltz when using raw chicken that is skin-on, since this is where most of the chicken fat is stored.
Thus, there is a case to be made for using raw chicken as opposed to roasted bones.
This is my Mama's Chicken Soup Recipe (AKA Jewish Penicillin). It will cure any ailment under the sun, including a broken heart.
Add all ingredients to a 7.5qt stockpot or Dutch oven. Add enough water to reach the brim of the pot.
Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for a total of 75 minutes and use a spoon to scrape any foam that rises to the surface of the water.
Use a large, slotted spoon or wire strainer to remove the vegetables. These are edible but I am not a fan of the texture so I discard.
Transfer chicken to a tray and let cool. Use your hands or a set of forks to shred the meat from the bone. Discard bones, skin and cartilage. Reserve meat and set aside.
While the chicken cools, add sliced carrots and cook until fork-tender (approximately 10-12 minutes).
Return shredded chicken to pot. Taste soup for seasoning and adjust salt as required.
Serve in individual bowls. Garnish with fresh dill and freshly-cracked black pepper.
Can you cook this in the instant pot?
I suppose so, but no pressure cooking is required. The flavours need time to develop so speeding up the process will result in a less flavourful soup.
I love watching your stories. You are so funny and the music is great!!!
Would frozen chicken breasts work for this recipe? Thank you!
Frozen meat works, but your best bet is to use something bone-in, preferably dark meat (chicken legs) for maximum flavour and nutrition!
Is there any substitute for the chayote squash? I can't find it anywhere!
If you can't find it simply omit.
I only have a slow cooker. will this be okay? u think high low? time? haha love your stuff!
Should be great! I would cook on high for maybe 2-3 hours?
Used a very small chicken, whole, and my veggie scraps. It was perfect for a cold evening with most of us feeling under the weather.
If going by the recipe you will end up with around 5.5-6 quarts of broth.
1) For a richer, more gelatinous soup, use the back, neck, head, feet and (possibly) the wings of the chicken instead of the legs (thighs and drumsticks), which are better suited to frying, broiling and stewing anyway. Make sure to also use the gizzard and heart. In fact you can add extra chicken hearts, to the tune of 1/4-1/2 lb, to the soup for extra nutrition.
2) Instead of – or in addition to – the ginger, add one moderately hot pepper per 3 quarts of soup. Do *not* go for the hottest chile you can find, because this soup is all about flavour and a very hot chile would suppress all that flavour. Something with a value of 5,000 units or less on the Scoville scale would be ideal. Just one piece. It will add a bit of heat, but also an extra layer of flavour.
3) Stick a few cloves into the onion and grate some nutmeg on the chicken before adding them to the pot.
4) Consider using celeriac instead of celery, and root-parsley instead of the parsnip – that's how this soup is made in Central Europe, where it comes from.
These all sound like lovely additions! Thank you for them. But it's not the way my mama made it and, therefore, would warrant a different title.

Nature risk is the next big theme in responsible investment. But what is it?
By Charlotte Grieve
Queensland cattle farmer Melinee Leather has seen permanent creeks dry up, temperatures soar to new highs and flooding in areas that don't usually flood.
As the weather becomes more unpredictable and extreme, Leather has trained herself to stop being surprised.
"We started to think, there's nothing that couldn't happen," she says. "That thought process of, 'that wouldn't happen here', is probably not true."
Queensland cattle farmers Robert and Melinee Leather.
Over the past two decades, Leather has become a leader in sustainable agriculture. Diesel generators on the property have been replaced with solar-powered pumps. Cattle rotate through paddocks to graze and Leather has ramped up planting of Leucaena, a fast-growing crop that tackles soil health, water retention, cattle emissions and biodiversity all in one hit.
The changes are partly driven by shifting consumer demand that favours ethical farming, partly because Leather believes it's the right thing to do, and partly because banks and investors have started to require it.
"To have a successful business, you have to protect your environment," she says. "Without doing that, you're putting yourself at financial risk."
Farmers are at the forefront of an emerging type of financial risk that investors are starting to factor into decisions around whether to provide finance, and at what price.
'Nature risk' is related to climate risk, but looks beyond carbon emissions to measure how a company is impacting a broader range of natural assets, including biodiversity, water, soils and landscapes.

The World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report this year ranks two nature risks – biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse – as among the top five economic risks for this decade. Similar to how financiers have divested from industries such as thermal coal to reduce climate risk, farmers could soon find it harder to secure a loan if they fail to address nature risk.
Research by global asset manager First Sentier Investors found $44 trillion, more than half of the world's total gross domestic product, is moderately or highly dependent on nature, with agriculture being in the top three industries that are most exposed to nature loss.
"With such a big chunk of GDP dependent on nature, it poses incredible financial risks," First Sentier's responsible investment specialist Kate Turner says. "It's very connected to climate change…. but it's very much a risk in its own right."
Much like climate risk, Turner explains there are three main types of nature risk: physical risks through the degradation of natural assets that a company relies on for profits, transition risks including harsh penalties for damaging natural assets or new regulations, or systemic risks.
The current health crisis is one key example of systemic nature risk. Without commenting on the origins of COVID-19, Turner says there has been an "extraordinary increase" in the number of zoonotic diseases, where germs are spread between animals and people.
"What the research is suggesting is, as there is more and more loss of nature and the habitat for wildlife, then wildlife is coming into closer contact with humans, and we're seeing a much higher instance of diseases being transferred from animals to humans."
At the heart of the problem, Turner says, is that nature has been under-valued.
"We don't properly value nature in an economic sense. Nature has been providing us with all these goods and services for free, therefore it is open to exploitation, and we have exploiting it for many years now and we've landed in this situation where demand is outstripping supply.
"So we need to start to value nature more appropriately."
The National Australia Bank is the largest lender to the country's agricultural industry and the only major bank to sign the Natural Capital Declaration in 2011 – a commitment from CEOs around the world to integrate nature risk into decision-making.
NAB's head of sustainability governance and risk, Rosemary Bissett, says biodiversity is the "canary in the natural capital coal mine". For example, species extinction among animals that pollinate plants is a major risk to profitability for farmers.

"Much of our system of food is dependent on pollination," she says. "Two thirds of the world's pollinators are at risk. These are material issues, they're being noted and now coming to prominence."
NAB is now working with its agricultural customers to ensure they're protecting themselves against biodiversity loss, as well as other natural capital risks, such as soil health and water availability.
"If you think about it, 60 per cent of Australia's land and natural capital is in the hands of our farmers. And 70 per cent of our water resources are used by farmers. They're critical stewards of Australia's natural capital assets and really important customers to us," Bissett says.
If recognising the risk is the first step towards minimising it, measuring the risk is the next. In September, Australian executives from Macquarie Group, Deloitte and KPMG joined a global group working to develop standards for disclosing nature risks.
Much like the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, which is now used by more than 1000 financial institutions in 89 countries, responsible for assets of $194 trillion, the Task Force on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures will be released within the next two years.
While Europe has already mandated corporate disclosure on biodiversity, Turner says there is a long way to go. "In Australia and globally, we're still at the very beginning of our journey on this," she says. "As disclosure gets better, that will set the path for being able to manage the risks better."
This year, COP15, the UN Convention of Biological Diversity, was regarded as the most important biodiversity conference in a decade. In a parallel meeting to COP26, countries signed off on a post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework – a set of goals and targets for the next 10 years that countries, including Australia, will seek to deliver together.
'There's always a risk of regulation if we do nothing. We as an industry need to be proactive. We need to be transparent.'
As governments prioritise protecting biodiversity, Turner says this raises the broader suite of nature risks for investors. She provides the example of washing machine manufacturers that have been hit with greater regulations to protect oceans.
Turner says First Sentier Investors has been engaging with these manufacturers to encourage the use of filters that prevent microplastics from being released into the oceans. "Because one, it will reduce a major source of pollution, but also because we're seeing countries have either introduced or are starting to introduce regulation to require them to do this. That's obviously a big commercial risk for the washing machine manufacturers we invest in."
Large investors are also taking note. The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) released a report in November calling on its members, which manage more than $1 trillion, to start prioritising biodiversity loss in boardroom conversations.
"The investor response to climate change risks and opportunities holds several lessons for the treatment of biodiversity. The two risks are closely interlinked, and are similar in scale and urgency," the report said.
Leather is taking note of the international developments and says the agricultural industry should be on the front foot. "There's always a risk of regulation if we do nothing. We as an industry need to be proactive. We need to be transparent."

Providential Gardener Homepage
The Providential Gardener is for everybody living in Rhode Island. But everyone else is also welcome to explore this dive into how we have a living in Rhode Island.
ProvGardener_IMG_4130.jpg
ProvGardener sees Rhode Island as one whole garden that's... well, the size of Rhode Island. In fact, it's exactly the size of Rhode Island. Little Rhody is often used to measure the size of their oil spills and forest fires, but enough of that. Only Rhode Island itself actually fits the bill, and we are glad to be our size.
For the Providential Gardener,
All that "grows on" here...
Every village and neighborhood here...
Everyone who lives here...
...all of these and more are important to the Providential Gardener.
~ Explore RI as a Garden ~
Discover Your Place in the World
Who's Doing What?
How Do We Find Out?
Why ProvGardener?
It's true I love gardening, but ProvGardener is about much more than vegetable and flower gardens. The main focus is
How do we get all the work done so that every Rhode Islander has a living?
Our lives depend on the natural world. We are all responsible for our part of the earth as citizens of this state. We can't keep living here if we don't take care of it. So I begin with Rhode Island's environmental and energy issues and explore how these issues relate to each other.
If You're Living in Rhode Island...
Air and water quality affect our health
Clean drinking water is essential to life
Hazardous substances and human waste can make us sick
Access to nutritious food is also essential
We also need affordable, reliable energy resources
We need a safe, healthy place to live and keep our stuff
We need to get stuff that isn't near where we live.
For all of us to keep living here, somebody has to do the work involved to meet these needs for everyone in RI. WHO DOES WHAT?
If You're Not Living in Rhode Island...
You also have the same needs we have. It's just harder or unnecessary to describe how all the work gets done because either
Your state or country is much bigger than RI, and there are a lot more of you per place, making the interrelationships overwhelmingly complicated. OR
You live in a sparsely populated, large place and the work of having a living is simpler, more straightforward.
Rhode Island: A Scale Model of a State
Rhode Island is an ideal size for exploring how a state actually tries to do the work that would provide decent livings for every resident.
MEETINGS & EVENTS: Most of us can get anywhere else in the state in about an hour. You can't do that in California! It therefore makes sense here to have a centralized calendar of all kinds of environmental activities.
PEOPLE & GROUPS: And if you know where to look, it's easy to meet the people and join groups working on projects and issues that impact our lives in Little Rhody -- they're all actually our neighbors.
NEWS: There are multiple sources of news besides the local newspapers, the Providence Journal, and other media. Web-based news sources such as ecoRI make major contributions. Many of the environmental groups are also important news sources, through workshops, lectures, websites, and publications. State boards, commissions and departments also produce informational reports and studies. Google searches don't necessarily turn up what you're looking for. Information is scattered. It's not all online, believe it or not! (Think library and archival collections.)
It's hard to keep up with everything!
So ProvGardener is bringing this information together to show how we actually get the work done. It's not as simple as people often think: there are all sorts of collaborations and coalitions. But because all this stuff is categorized, it's easier for anyone to follow the complexities and find what interests them quickly and reliably.
Take a tour of this amazing resource!

A New Liberty Tree ~ 2007 with a 2017 Update
A new Liberty Tree, grown from a seed of the last surviving original tree, a grand tulip poplar that lived more than 400 years in Maryland, was planted on April 27, 2007 at the Roger Williams National Memorial on North Main Street in Providence, RI. It's just down the road from the site of Rhode Island's original Liberty Tree, an elm chosen by the Sons of Liberty in 1768 that stood on the north side of Olney Street and North Main.
How ProvGardener Describes "The Environment" ~ Categories
Most of us never give categories much thought -- the librarians* among us are most likely to think about this, but even many librarians find cataloging boring and tedious. The fact is that everyone automatically categorizes everything every waking moment. Let yourself think about this: you got up this morning and you did different things in the bathroom than in the kitchen. You put clothes on, not the drapes. You looked for forks or spoons in the silverware drawer, not the sock drawer. And so on.
Wilcox Park Champion Trees
Westerly's Wilcox Park was designed by a former associate of Frederick Law Olmstead in the early 20th century, and it is truly a beautiful space with many activities during the summer. One of those activities is a walkaround to view the Wilcox Park Champion Trees on second Saturdays, May through October.

This chapter seeks to expose the challenges and promises faced by educational leadership and management (EDLM) scholars in Arab societies as they strive to establish an indigenous knowledge base that is connected to the global international scholarly discourse. We examine this issue and consider its implications for leadership development in the Arab context. Given the relative scarcity of Arab-related EDLM literature published internationally, our intention is to engage our international colleagues in the dialogue, hence responding to the multiple calls of international scholars to expand the cultural bases of the existing knowledge base in the field. In this chapter, we embrace a broad conception of leadership preparation that goes beyond initial preparation to encompass induction programmes and in-service training. The chapter engages with current international trends in educational leadership development and proposes future directions for research and practice in the Arab region.
