Max shares with LifeStyle YOU his top 5 beauty misdemeanours, and how to salvage them in a few simple steps.
Mismatching your foundation shade to your face!
"The one and only place to try is your face," Max insists. "I always suggest sampling foundation while your skin is as makeup-free as possible. Test the foundation to the side of the mouth onto the chin and along the jaw line to not only make sure it matches your natural skin colour but blends out flawlessly into your neck," he says.
Using cosmetic brushes daily. Cleaning them never.
"Like washing your hair you need to clean your brushes," advises Max. The build-up of products deep in the bristle of the brush breeds bacteria that can result in breakouts as well as affecting the overall colours and finishes of the products you apply. "I simply wash my brushes using a baby shampoo from Johnson & Johnson," Max says. "It's gentle on the bristles but strong enough to lift oily build-up." Max advises completely rinsing any brush cleaner through, then lay them down on a dry towel to dry so the water doesn't destroy the glue that binds the bristles together.
Slacking off on body moisturiser post-shower.
Applying mascara to lacklustre lashes.
Caking on fake tan. Forgetting to clean it off.
Removing your old tan before applying a new one is essential when wanting a flawless professional finish, Max insists. "The more layers that are left on the skin, the more inconsistent your tan will wear," he says. "Cleaning the skin of your old fake tan will allow the skin to accept better and hold the new one." Add a cup or two of Bi-Carb Soda to a bath and soak the areas you want to re-spray for 15 -20 minutes, advises Max."Conclude with a good body exfoliation to loosen any stubborn patches.

Field Hockey shutout Glendora High School 3-0 today, marking the team's fourteenth win of the season and thirty-fourth win in a row over the past two seasons. This season, the squad is currently undefeated with an overall record of 14-0.
Center forward Emily Kornguth '20 said that she believes the team can still improve before the next game.
"I think we did a really good job, except we still need to practice utilizing the right side of the field," Kornguth said. "That is something we have been working on a lot during practice so it would be great if we could do it in the game too."
With only two games left in the regular season before playoffs, the players said that they believe the team can finish strong.
"Our amazing season so far has given us confidence in our skills and team play," center midfielder Rachel Brown '20 said. "We realize the importance of maintaining strong practices and team communication in order to be successful for the rest of the season."
Brown said that unity and hard work are a couple of the team's traits that will play an important role as the season comes to an end.
The last game of the regular season will be Oct. 25 against Westlake High School. This will be the team's second matchup against Westlake after defeating the Warriors 2-0 Oct. 8 in the first matchup of the season.
The playoffs are scheduled to begin Oct. 30 but the team's opponent is yet to be determined.

Q: Is there a way to make an immutable reference mutable? I want to solve a leetcode question in Rust (Remove Nth Node From End of List). My solution uses two pointers to find the Node to remove:
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
pub struct ListNode {
    pub val: i32,
    pub next: Option<Box<ListNode>>,
}

impl ListNode {
    #[inline]
    fn new(val: i32) -> Self {
        ListNode { next: None, val }
    }
}

// two-pointer sliding window
impl Solution {
    pub fn remove_nth_from_end(head: Option<Box<ListNode>>, n: i32) -> Option<Box<ListNode>> {
        let mut dummy_head = Some(Box::new(ListNode { val: 0, next: head }));
        let mut start = dummy_head.as_ref();
        let mut end = dummy_head.as_ref();
        for _ in 0..n {
            end = end.unwrap().next.as_ref();
        }
        while end.as_ref().unwrap().next.is_some() {
            end = end.unwrap().next.as_ref();
            start = start.unwrap().next.as_ref();
        }
        // TODO: fix the borrow problem
        // ERROR!
        // start.unwrap().next = start.unwrap().next.unwrap().next.take();
        dummy_head.unwrap().next
    }
}

I borrow two immutable references of the linked-list. After I find the target node to remove, I want to drop one and make the other mutable. Each of the following code examples leads to a compiler error:
// ERROR
drop(end);
let next = start.as_mut().unwrap.next.take();

// ERROR
let mut node = *start.unwrap()

I don't know if this solution is possible to be written in Rust. If I can make an immutable reference mutable, how do I do it? If not, is there anyway to implement the same logic while making the borrow checker happy?

A: The correct answer is that you should not be doing this. This is undefined behavior, and breaks many assumptions made by the compiler when compiling your program.
However, it is possible to do this. Other people have also mentioned why this is not a good idea, but they haven't actually shown what the code to do something like this would look like. Even though you should not do this, this is what it would look like:
unsafe fn very_bad_function<T>(reference: &T) -> &mut T {
    let const_ptr = reference as *const T;
    let mut_ptr = const_ptr as *mut T;
    &mut *mut_ptr
}

Essentially, you convert a constant pointer into a mutable one, and then make the mutable pointer into a reference.
Here's one example why this is very unsafe and unpredictable:
fn main() {
    static THIS_IS_IMMUTABLE: i32 = 0;
    unsafe {
        let mut bad_reference = very_bad_function(&THIS_IS_IMMUTABLE);
        *bad_reference = 5;
    }
}

If you run this... you get a segfault. What happened? Essentially, you invalidated memory rules by trying to write to an area of memory that had been marked as immutable. Essentially, when you use a function like this, you break the trust the compiler has made with you to not mess with constant memory.
Which is why you should never use this, especially in a public API, because if someone passes an innocent immutable reference to your function, and your function mutates it, and the reference is to an area of memory not meant to be written to, you'll get a segfault.
In short: don't try to cheat the borrow checker. It's there for a reason.
EDIT: In addition to the reasons I just mentioned on why this is undefined behavior, another reason is breaking reference aliasing rules. That is, since you can have both a mutable and immutable reference to a variable at the same time with this, it causes loads of problems when you pass them in separately to the same function, which assumes the immutable and mutable references are unique. Read this page from the Rust docs for more information about this.

A:
Is there a way to make an immutable reference mutable?

No.
You could write unsafe Rust code to force the types to line up, but the code would actually be unsafe and lead to undefined behavior. You do not want this.

The details on 3 Slide Brook Rd: This land located in Fayston, VT 05673 is currently for sale for $297,000. 3 Slide Brook Rd is a – square foot land with – beds and – baths that has been on Estately for 976 days. This land is in the attendance area of Fayston Elementary School, Harwood Union Middle Uhsd 19, and Harwood Uhsd 19.


Sliding doors are perfect solution wherever space is available at least from one side of the opening. Fire resistance rating up to EI120 and no limit as to the size make it a very attractive product. It can be manufactured in any color of the RAL pallet. This type of a gate/door can be combined with a thresholdless type escape door or a door with a threshold-type passage door.
The door leaf is built of modified and hardened mineral wool of MARC type reinforced inside with the steel rods. The external surfaces of the leafs are cladded with metal sheet of individually agreed color. The door leaf is suspended on trolleys placed in the traveling track. Guiding the door leaf from the bottom is provided by a guide roller mounted outside the opening in the wall. The counterweight with a cover can be installed both on the closing pocket side as well as on the opposite side. By standard, each door is equipped with a magnetic lock (24V DC), which keeps the door leaf in the open position. Additional elements of the signalling-and-alarm system are provided for an extra charge by individual arrangements. A passage door or escape door equipped with door handles or panic hardware (levers) can be mounted in the gate/door leaf.
The door leaf is closed by gravity by means of the counterweight. Keeping the door open is also possible by connection of the magnetic lock to the fire protection control panel. In the event of a fire hazard the fire protection control panel releases the magnetic lock and the door leaf closes the passage between the fire zones. The door is opened manually (standard) or automatically by means of an electromechanical drive.

Americas and Caribbean disaster risk conference ends on a resilience high note
United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction – Regional Office for the Americas and the Caribbean
JAMAICA – Some 30 countries from the Americas and the Caribbean ended a key conference on disaster risk – which drew a record attendance – with a pledge to step up action to prevent and better manage disasters in a region prone to hurricanes, earthquakes and other hazards and which has been disproportionately hit by the Covid pandemic.
From Canada to the southern cone of South America, over 2,500 people tuned in to the online four-day Vll Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in the Americas and the Caribbean, which concluded by approving ambitious new steps to strengthen a regional action plan, including giving a greater voice to the young, women and vulnerable groups.
A declaration issued by ministers and senior officials at the end of the conference, hosted by Jamaica – the first time a regional platform has been held in the Caribbean – also contained a commitment to make their countries more resistant to disasters and a renewed vow to achieve the goals of the Sendai Framework, the international pact on disaster risk.
"On the theme of resilient economies, we will not and cannot wait for the end of the (Covid) pandemic to act. The very nature of hosting this conference is a demonstration of resilience," the Prime Minister of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, Mark Phillips, told the closing ceremony. "Our assignment is to get ahead of the curb before the next pandemic, earthquake or floods. This is our assignment," he added.
The regional conference had been due to be convened in Jamaica in 2020 but was postponed because of the pandemic. It was the first such platform to be held in virtual format.
"This seventh platform has been a great success. We have worked hard … to move the agenda of the Sendai Framework forward and, even more importantly, we did against background of the blow Covid dealt us last year," said Desmond McKenzie, Jamaica's Minister of Local Government and Rural Development.
For the first time, a regional platform was preceded by a special youth forum on disaster risk reduction and, following a proposal from Jamaica, countries agreed that such forums would become a regular feature of future platforms. Ministers also received and approved a declaration issued by the youth forum.
Regional platforms are a key part of the Sendai Framework, which is itself a cornerstone of the United Nations Agenda 2030 on sustainable development. The regional plan will feed into the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction to be held in Bali, Indonesia, in 2022 and into the mid-term review of Sendai the following year.
"This week we have re-iterated our commitment to reducing mortality, the numbers of people disaster-affected, damage to critical infrastructure and economic losses as set out in the Sendai Framework and to align our actions with the Sustainable Development Goals," Mami Mizutori, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction and head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, told the closing ceremony.
The regional platform, whose principal theme was "Building Resilient Economies in the Caribbean and the Americas", tackled a host of subjects in its 30 sessions, including the impact of the Covid crisis, how better governance can contain disaster threats and the need for more risk-informed investment to boost disaster prevention.
"The COVID-19 pandemic combined with the climate emergency and the destruction of the natural world, have reminded us of our vulnerability and of the fragility of the systems on which we depend for our very survival," Ms Mizutori said.
Another key theme was the connection between increasing disaster risks and climate change. The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has highlighted once more how these impacts stem from human actions.
Climate change adaptation and disaster resilience need cooperation, said Elizabeth Riley
Executive Director of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA).
Covid has derailed the region's development trajectory and exacerbated existing problems. But it can also serve as a catalyst for human-rights based change, she added.
"This coming together of national and local government leaders, private sector representatives, academia, scientists, youth, and communities, has demonstrated a high level of commitment to the implementation of the Sendai Framework … and bringing about a better and more equitable world," Ms Mizutori declared.

HomeGasGas Outlook: CGD operators' perspective
Gas Outlook: CGD operators' perspective
CGD operators' perspective
The city gas distribution (CGD) segment accounts for about 10 per cent of the country's total gas consumption. Although the segment witnessed high growth rates following the establishment of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) in 2003, it has registered a slowdown in the past two years. The CGD segment recorded a growth of 64 per cent in 2010 as compared to 2009. In 2011, it witnessed 47.5 per cent growth and the total pipeline network length stood at 26,550 km. The growth in the segment declined to as low as 0.6 per cent in 2012.
At present, the country's CGD network of 26,696 km is spread unevenly. It covers the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan in the west; Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh in the north; Tripura and West Bengal in the east; Madhya Pradesh in central India; and Andhra Pradesh in the south. With natural gas pipeline infrastructure connecting the southern and eastern parts to supply sources, the scenario is likely to improve.
However, over the past two years, the segment has faced several challenges. The country's declining domestic gas production, especially from the Krishna-Godavari-D6 block, had reduced gas availability for CGD operators, thereby increasing their reliance on expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports. The segment also suffered on account of being accorded lower priority than the power and fertiliser sectors for gas allocation. Moreover, since most of the current capacities of LNG terminals were already contracted, private players and new entrants faced challenges in catering to their customers in the absence of an alternative source of gas. In addition, the regulatory uncertainty related to the bidding process for the CGD network disincentivised investors.
However, from mid-2013 CGD activities have gained momentum with the PNGRB reinitiating the process of awarding CGD licences after a hiatus of three years. It issued a much-needed policy amendment in June 2013, revising the bidding criteria for laying, building, operating or expanding the CGD network.
It was specified that the weightage of network tariffs and compression charges in the bid evaluation process would be increased to 70 per cent and 30 per cent respectively from 40 per cent and 10 per cent previously. In addition, the variation in the proposed network tariff and the compression charge between two consecutive years should not exceed 10 per cent. While no weightage has been given to the parameters related to the inch km of pipeline to be laid and the number of domestic connections to be provided, the PNGRB will specify the minimum work programme for both these parameters in the first five years of operation.
A change in the bidding criteria has led to the resumption of award of licences for the third bidding round. Also, efforts have been made to resume the CGD licensing process for the fourth bidding round (which was cancelled in November 2011). In October 2013, the PNGRB invited bids for 14 geographical areas (GAs). The regulator also plans to complete issuing licences for the remaining six GAs that were awarded under the third bidding round.
In another positive development for the CGD segment, the government has recently notified that the compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) requirements of existing CGD companies should be met through domestic gas sources. Moreover, policy guidelines for new CGD entities are expected to be issued soon. The petroleum ministry has also clarified that deemed authorised entities do not require authorisation from the PNGRB for setting up CNG stations and laying spur lines in their GAs.
Smart Utilities presents the views of senior officials from key CGD companies on the recent developments and challenges in the segment and the road ahead…
P.P.G. Sarma, Chief Executive Officer, GSPC Gas
There are 2.5 million domestic gas consumers in India, of which Gujarat accounts for 50 per cent with seven CGD players operating in the state. Further, of the total 1,000 CNG stations in India, 70 per cent are located in Gujarat. The rapid development of the state's CGD network was facilitated by the availability of adequate infrastructure and its proximity to gas supply sources.
According to GSPC, though the market has shown reasonable interest in consuming high-priced gas. If the recommendations of the Rangarajan Committee are accepted, domestic gas will be priced at around $8.4 per million metric British thermal units (mmBtu). Therefore, as domestic and imported gas prices move towards convergence, a higher level of acceptability for LNG imports is expected.
The new scheme for 100 per cent domestic gas allocation for CNG and PNG has led to a downward revision in prices. CNG prices in Gujarat have come down from Rs 60-Rs 70 per kg to Rs 44-Rs 47 per kg. However, CGD operators should not entirely depend on domestic gas and must ensure that regasified liquefied natual gas (R-LNG) continues to remain a viable option for meeting the segment's demand. This will help in the expansion of business opportunities in the CGD space.
The need of the hour for the CGD market is to increase its acceptability of LNG as a gas sourcing option. In fact, most players are already considering operating CGD systems on R-LNG as domestic gas is no longer a credible source, which was the case a couple of years ago. Consequently, there is a growing focus on LNG and most of the existing LNG players are ramping up their capacities while new players are trying to operationalise their facilities.
Meanwhile, the lack of clarity on downstream regulations could impact the expansion plans of existing operators or the planned initiatives of new entrants. However, over the past few months, the segment has witnessed some positive developments on the regulatory front, such as expediting approvals and initiating new bidding rounds, which will facilitate development of the downstream gas segment. These developments are expected to reduce the gap between midstream (gas transmission) and downstream (end-consumer) connectivity. In order to ensure timely project implementation, there is a need to align project-related activities including production, transmission, distribution and consumption. Although the regulator has provided clarity on tariff fixation, there are uncertainties with regard to bidding processes, which may impact last mile connectivity.
One of the major operational challenges faced by GSPC is ensuring public safety. The current regulation stipulates that gas cylinders should be retested in order to detect wear and tear, and leakages once every five years. However, there is a very low level of awareness among consumers about safety regulations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for all stakeholders including oil marketing companies, transport agencies issuing fitness certificates for cylinders and CGD operators to work together to ensure safe operations.
Raman Chaddha, Chief Operating Officer, GAIL Gas Limited
The CGD space has gained significant momentum over the last few years, driven primarily by factors such as huge demand for transportation and domestic usage, expansion of gas transmission networks, attractive economics of natural gas vis-à-vis other fuels like petrol, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
There are several lucrative markets in India that are still awaiting CGD coverage. This can be ascertained from the fact that 61 of the 111 Indian cities with a population of more than 400,000 are located close to gas sources. Of these 61 cites, 28 already have CGD networks and the remaining constitute potential CGD markets. The PNGRB also plans to extend the pipeline network to over 200 cities, which would drive further growth in the segment.
In terms of the recent initiatives launched by the PNGRB, the 100 per cent domestic gas allocation scheme for CNG and PNG operators has helped GAIL Gas to tackle its capacity utilisation issues. Earlier, the company was supplying CNG at Rs 70 per kg in Tier II cities and hence faced issues related to capacity utilisation, which has now improved by 80 per cent.
Domestic gas prices are expected to double to $8.4 per mmBtu with effect from April 2014. While this would incentivise investments and increase production in the long run, the power and fertiliser sectors will be negatively impacted. However, with regard to CGD, the price hike is likely to be beneficial as it can help unlock higher domestic gas volumes for the segment.
However, with implementation of the new gas tariff ($8.4 per mmBtu), PNG prices will far exceed those of the subsidised LPG, resulting in customer unwillingness to shift from LPG to PNG. In addition, there is still lack of clarity on the September 2013 order pertaining to the setting up of CNG stations (the new ruling does not offer clarity about compression charges, marketing margins, etc.).
While the allocation of domestic gas to all CGD networks is a positive move, the immediate challenge of introducing uniform gas pricing for the segment still exists. Implementation of pooled gas pricing across the country is not a viable option, but this can be initiated in different areas. An example of such a model is the Taj Trapezium Zone, where gas prices are uniform. Thus, the solution lies in introducing a uniform pricing mechanism, which will ensure sustainability of the CGD business.
There is also a need to encourage the development of green corridors to incentivise CNG use by heavy vehicles plying on the highways. The PNGRB also needs to amend regulations regarding public safety. The current safety rules were formulated in 1947. According to these rules, gas cylinders are required to be tested and then refilled. However, these regulations are not appropriate for CNG cylinders as they are installed in cars where they cannot be inspected. Meanwhile, the weak gas supply scenario has increased the importance of extensive infrastructure. There is a need to develop large LNG import and regasification capacities at existing and upcoming terminals. However, infrastructure (LNG and/or transmission pipeline network) alone cannot guarantee successful CGD operations, there is also a need for creating an enthusiastic market.
Narendra Kumar, Managing Director, IGL
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), the leading CGD operator in India, caters to the world's largest fleet of CNG-based passenger buses. There are a number of areas that present significant growth opportunities for the CGD segment. PNGRB's "Vision 2030, Natural Gas Infrastructure in India" report envisages that the share of natural gas in India's energy mix would increase from 10 per cent at present to 20 per cent in 2025 and 30 per cent in 2030.
The report also projects that the demand for natural gas would increase at a compound annual growth rate of 6.8 per cent from 242.6 mmscmd in 2012-13 to 746 million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) in 2029-30 and the CGD segment's contribution to this demand volume is expected to increase from 6 per cent at present to 11 per cent by 2029-30.
There are several characteristics of the Indian transport market that translate into lucrative growth opportunities for the CGD segment. These are as follows:
India still has a low vehicular usage level of around 117 vehicles per 1,000 persons.
The dependence on petrol and diesel is still around 96 per cent.
There exists a significant potential for converting two-wheelers to CNG mode.
New technologies such as those implemented in the European and American markets can be introduced for natural gas vehicles in India as well. For instance, LNG can be used as fuel in heavy duty vehicles (trucks), railway locomotives and buses.
Meanwhile, the recent government policy to allocate 100 per cent gas to meet the CNG and PNG demand in the domestic market will not only improve the sustainability prospect of the CGD segment but also provide a boost to segment expansion. However, the expected increase in the price of domestic gas to $8.4 per mmBtu from April 2014 would adversely impact the competitiveness of CNG as compared to subsidised diesel, and of PNG as compared to subsidised domestic LPG.
In terms of the challenges being faced by the segment, gas sourcing and gas market economics are key areas of concern. There is an urgent need to address the issue of escalating gas prices to ensure that gas remains competitive as compared to other fuels.
In addition, the scarcity of land for setting up CNG stations, excessive road restoration activities leading to third-party damages and limited availability of agencies for CNG cylinder testing are some of the infrastructural constraints limiting CGD growth. Other issues that need to be dealt with include regulatory uncertainty, shortage of skilled manpower and vendor development.

Our Training Courses are Built, Different.
As veteran members of both the Information Technology and Cyber Security fields we recognized many of the issues with training and certifications that plagues both communities.
In many cases we fell victim to a 2 day $5,000 training class with no follow on material or hands on knowledge. While this is fine in some cases, its unattainable for the average security professional to obtain without corporate sponsorship. We realized this and set out to change how we price our training to individuals.
Our initial questions when addressing course scope and technical concepts were; How do we teach a topic within a reasonable amount of time that we feel confident in our ability to ensure that each student learns and validates their knowledge of the subject material? How do we deliver enough material to provide the depth needed to adequately learn the concept without overloading students, causing them to brain dump immediately following the course?
Simple – focus one topic and do it well. Our TCC (Tradecraft Core Concept) designed trainings are built around this theory to help deliver meaningful results.
In 2017 set out to maintain a more than adequate course length, while minimize the cost to the consumer and eliminated CPE's / Annual Fees. Paying to "Maintain" isn't for everyone, we recognized that and decided thats not how we will do business.

Ducati's new Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak celebrates the manufacturer's past success at the hill climb
It was in 2011 when Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati secured its first win at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with motorcycle racer Carlin Dunne. The American went on to become the first motorcyclist to break the 10-minute barrier on the famous mountain course and grab the title four times. However, the racer tragically died after crashing a Ducati's prototype Streetfighters at Pikes Peak 2019, just a few corners away from the finish line, which ultimately made the race organizers ban motorcycles at the storied hill climb that's often referred to as "Race To The Clouds." As a way to celebrate Dunne and the team's success at Pikes Peak over the last decade, Ducati has introduced a special edition version of the 2022 Multistrada V4.
The new 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is the sportiest Multistrada ever built, which arrives with chassis modifications, a potent four-cylinder engine, and a special livery. First up are the forged aluminum 17″ Marchesini wheels that are fitted with sticker tires to offer a high-performance riding experience. It borrows the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension system from the Panigale V4 S, which automatically adjusts a number of parameters according to the riding and conditions. Thanks to various carbon fiber components, the Pikes Peak edition is nearly nine pounds compared to the Multistrada V4 S. Additionally, the ergonomics have been also altered for sportier performance, a lower and narrower handlebar along with the footpegs placed higher and further back.
Powering the special edition is Ducati's V4 Granturismo engine. The 1.2-liter 90-degree V4 produces 170 horsepower and 92 pound-feet of torque, while it weighs only 147 pounds. The Akrapovič exhaust system is made out of titanium and carbon fiber. For better braking performance, the Pikes Peak edition's braking system is derived from the Panigale V4. The color scheme of the special edition is inspired by Ducati's MotoGP racing bikes along with the motorcycles that previously raced at Pikes Peak. The 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is priced at $28,995, making it the most expensive Multistrada ever. The special edition will be made in limited numbers are will hit the dealerships in the US in February 2022.

Don't Waste: The Future of Hospitality
There isn't a business within the hospitality industry that's not affected by staff shortages. Organisations large and small are struggling to attract and retain the talent they need to help their business not only run effectively, but to grow. This isn't a challenge that can be solved on a case-by-case basis, it's an industry-wide problem that needs an industry-wide solution.
That's why HIT Training is launching a revolutionary new campaign for 2019. Don't Waste: The Future of Hospitality, aims to bring the industry together to champion the varied career opportunities available and implement practical solutions to lessen the skills shortage.
As part of this, HIT Training is calling on Levy-paying business in the hospitality sector to pledge to fund at least one apprenticeship outside of their company. The campaign launches as new research reveals that 65% of Levy-paying hospitality businesses are currently unaware they can transfer 10% of their funds to SMEs or charities in the sector (this will increase to 25% this year)[1].
With £1.28bn of unspent Levy funding in the UK and less than half of hospitality businesses which have used their Apprenticeship Levy[2], there's an untapped opportunity to use this capital to tackle the skills shortage and protect the future of the sector.
The initiative is already gaining traction in the sector with a number of sector-leading companies signed up to the pledge and to support the campaign, including Bidfood, UKHospitality, the Institute of Hospitality (IoH) and The Springboard Charity.
To assist Levy-paying businesses, HIT Training has created a pledge portal where companies can commit their support to transfer a percentage of their Levy fund or download more information on how the Levy transfer process works. The expert team at HIT Training can also help form a partnership with an SME and oversee the process of taking both parties through the Levy transfer process, if required.
Speaking about the campaign, Jill Whittaker, Managing Director of HIT Training, said: "Hospitality is one of the most vibrant and exciting sectors to work in, yet we continue to face multiple challenges when it comes to dispelling the outdated and negative perceptions of what a career in the industry entails. The year ahead is going to be a challenging one for everyone, so we need to do all that we can to protect our industry and provide aspirational career opportunities to the next generation of hospitality stars.
"That's why we've launched the Don't Waste: The Future of Hospitality campaign. We want to bring the industry together to utilise its combined resources and support businesses of all shapes and sizes to provide high-quality development opportunities through apprenticeship programmes. Together, we have the power to make real change and protect the future of our industry."
Tim Adams, Director of Marketing & Corp Sales at Bidfood, comments on why one of the largest food wholesalers in the UK is pledging a proportion of its Apprenticeship Levy to Springboard: "We're delighted to be supporting Springboard's training and development initiatives by pledging a proportion of our Apprenticeship Levy fund to the charity. Additional capital can make such a significant difference to training capabilities. In fact, the 10% of our Levy pot being transferred is enabling 15 of Springboard's employees (41% of its workforce) to enrol on a range of apprenticeships, from enhancing the skills of line managers, to supporting business development and programme delivery managers across the organisation.
"Bidfood and Springboard have a longstanding relationship, and both share an ambition to successfully promote the foodservice and hospitality industry as a great place to work. The role training plays in achieving this is invaluable, not only by boosting the industry with greater skills, but by making it a more attractive career option by offering rich and meaningful development opportunities.
"That's why Bidfood is behind HIT Training's Don't Waste: The Future of Hospitality campaign and we encourage other Levy-paying businesses to make a pledge if they can. The impact training can have on other organisations and our industry is not to be missed out on."
Peter Ducker, Chief Executive of the Institute of Hospitality, says: "This is a clever and effective solution to create a sustainable pool of hospitality professionals – our future managers and leaders – for the greater good of our growing industry. I congratulate the companies that have already pledged their support and encourage more to do the same. It is in all of our interests to invest in the large numbers of well-trained and motivated personnel that the UK hospitality sector will require going forward."
The Apprenticeship Levy applies to all businesses with an annual PAYE bill of over £3m at the rate of 0.5% of their total pay bill. Businesses which fall under this threshold must pay 10% of the cost of apprenticeships, with the Government funding the remaining 90%.

McMullen's chose HIT as its sole external provider for Apprenticeships and vocational qualifications in early 2015 and since then we have found them a pleasure to work with. Their expertise in this sector is superior and they have proven to be a professional and supportive partner who have a passion for learning and development, which matches our own organisation.
Amanda Walden – Training & Recruitment Manager, McMullen's
Encouraging our staff to improve their skills set and supporting them through apprenticeships and training programmes underlines our commitment to help them further develop their own careers. Offering the Level 4 Higher Apprenticeship also gives the Brend Group a point of difference which I'm convinced will help attract new members of staff in the future.
Andrew Mosedale - Group HR Manager, Brend Hotels
Our partnership with HIT has certainly made recruitment much easier in a very difficult labour market and gives us a point of difference in an increasingly competitive environment. Kew Green has also benefited enormously from well trained, skilled and competent staff who contribute significantly to the ever improving and high levels of customer experience that our guests expect and deserve.
Andrew Tregenza - HR Business Partner, Kew Green Hotels
Apprenticeships allow us to give people a great opportunity to develop a career with us and learn a skill or trade that will accompany them throughout their career and life. We see progression to the Level 4 qualification as key to our strategy of providing development at all stages of an employee's career with Harrison.
Alex Taylor - Training Manager, Harrison Catering Services
There is a shortage of skilled chefs within in our industry at present and any organisation that truly believes in the value of training and development of bright future stars will enable themselves to be in a strong position for the years ahead. Investing in smart training and development is at the heart of what we do within WSH, so it has been refreshing to work alongside HIT within our Baxterstorey Chef Academy.

Teoría estética (Ästhetische Theorie en el alemán original) es el título de una obra del filósofo alemán Theodor Adorno, publicada póstumamente (en 1970) y que se compuso con una recopilación de escritos, datados entre 1961 y 1969. Además de la estética filosófica tradicional (reflexiones sobre el arte y la belleza), Adorno plantea una metodología innovadora para un estudio interdisciplinar de la materia, que incorpora elementos de la filosofía política, la sociología, la metafísica y otros campos. Realiza una revisión de la evolución histórica del arte hasta su paradójico estado actual, "semi-autónomo", dentro de la modernidad capitalista, considerando las implicaciones sociopolíticas de tal evolución. Ha sido descrita como el magnum opus de Adorno, y como uno de los más importantes textos de estética del siglo XX.

Resumen
Adorno no sólo se preocupa del habitual concernimiento estético por la función de la belleza y lo sublime en el arte, sino de las relaciones entre arte y sociedad. Considera que la liberación que el arte moderno ha obtenido frente a las restricciones propias de periodos anteriores (que provenían de la naturaleza de sus funciones -glorificar a la divinidad o al poder-), le ha llevado a expandir su capacidad crítica e incrementar su autonomía formal. Junto a esta expandida autonomía le llega al arte una mayor responsabilidad en el uso de su capacidad de crítica social. No obstante, Adorno no considera que los contenidos abiertamente politizados sean la mayor fuerza crítica del arte: sino, más bien, propugna un tipo más abstracto de "contenido de verdad" (Wahrheitsgehalt). Al contrario que la estética idealista kantiana, la estética de Adorno localiza el "contenido de verdad" en el objeto artístico, en vez de en la percepción del sujeto. No obstante, tal contenido se ve afectado por la autoconciencia del arte de su necesaria distancia de la sociedad, perceptible en las disonancias inherentes al arte moderno. El "contenido de verdad" se encuentra en último término en la relación entre las múltiples interacciones dialécticas que emergen de la posición relativa de la obra de arte entre el sujeto y la tradición, así como en la dialéctica interna dentro de la obra misma. De forma reiterada, a lo largo del texto, se cita elogiosamente a Samuel Beckett, a quien la obra está dedicada.

Construcción y mimesis
Para Adorno, la obra de arte es el resultado de una construcción racional que combina armoniosamente el "material" individual (sonidos, palabras, colores, madera, metal, etc.) en una sola unidad. Aunque está diseñada apropiadamente, la obra de arte aparece en el resultado como si fuera generada por la naturaleza, porque la facultad formativa -como pre-sensualidad o como reflejo de las criaturas- pertenece a la "naturaleza en el sujeto" (Immanuel Kant). La construcción solo puede tener éxito si imita los impulsos sensoriales subyacentes (el sujeto y el material). La noción de mimesis es fundamental para la estética de Adorno. Como enfatizó Ruth Sonderegger, Adorno enfatiza el término no tanto como el aspecto de la imitación sino como el aspecto de hacerse a uno mismo; lo importante para él es la interacción de la construcción y la mimesis, que hace que la obra de arte lograda parezca armoniosa.

Verdad y apariencia
Albrecht Wellmer según Adorno une la verdad del arte a la concreción de voz de las obras de arte individuales que son verdad "en tanto que la realidad como no conciliada, antagónica, desgarra al espectador", pero - debido a que sintetizan el Split - "la luz de la reconciliación " En palabras de Adorno: "Paradójicamente, [el arte] tiene que dar testimonio de lo irreconciliable y, sin embargo, tiende a reconciliarse; esto solo es posible en su lenguaje no discursivo "(AT 251). La antinomia del arte, por lo tanto, es que articula estéticamente la negación del significado. En Adorno ve su apariencia estética, a saber, "que no pueden escapar a la sugerencia de sentido en medio del sentido" (EN 232). El momento de su mentira está en una realidad no reconciliada, ya que ella solo puede simbolizar la reconciliación. Pero con la esperanza de la verdadera reconciliación debe llevar el arte esta culpa y guardar las apariencias, dice Wellmer.

La belleza natural
Adorno dedica especial atención a la belleza natural que ha sido "reprimida" en filosofía desde Schelling. El arte no imitaría la naturaleza, sino la belleza natural (ÄT 112). Albrecht Wellmer señala:

   "Con la belleza natural, Adorno ve el cifrado de un ser aún no reconciliado [...]. La obra de arte como una imitación de la belleza natural es, una imagen tan elocuente, liberada de su mutismo, una naturaleza redimida, así como la imagen de una humanidad reconciliada ".

Reconciliación con lo sublime
Cómo a la belleza natural Adorno ha rehabilitado también la categoría de lo sublime en el arte moderno, a partir de la experiencia de la "Autoconciencia del hombre de su naturaleza" (GS 7: 295). Lo que Adorno significa con respecto al sujeto como una posible comunión de la mente con la naturaleza, lo articula para el arte como un desapego de lo bello a través de lo sublime.

La importancia de lo sublime para Adorno en la construcción filosófica del arte es evaluada de manera diferente por Wolfgang Welsch y Albrecht Wellmer. Welsch cree que lo sublime es un "dispositivo explosivo dentro de la Teoría Estética", porque Adorno con la "intransigencia constitutiva" (GS 7: 283) se refiere a la técnica. El argumento de Welsch sigue el movimiento dialéctico del pensamiento de Adorno de dos maneras. Primero, muestra cómo Adorno transforma el concepto tradicional de lo sublime de Kant de una manera característica con la negación. Según Kant, lo sublime es solamente la descripción de la naturaleza externa de gran alcance. En el arte (por ejemplo en la música de Beethoven, la pintura de Caspar David Friedrich y la poesía de Baudelaire) se logra la belleza a través de lo sublime. Finalmente, Adorno transforma lo sublime en una categoría de experiencia de "autoconciencia del hombre de su naturaleza" (OT 295). Durante sus reflexiones Adorno situó la reconciliación ideal en la síntesis del trabajo mimético y la construcción de un arte cada vez más sublime como "adopción de un noble gesto con respecto al material" y como "coherente con sus propias tendencias." De esto se deriva el "giro a lo frágil y fragmentario" de las obras de arte, que Adorno comenta diciendo "que no hay obras perfectas"; por su "irreconciliableidad constitutiva", según Welsch, con la fórmula paradójica de una "reconciliación de lo irreconciliable".

En contra de Welsch, Wellmer afirma que la categoría de lo sublime de Adorno conserva su lugar dentro de la construcción filosófica reconciliadora del arte. En el arte moderno lo sublime en "está en el contexto de la estética para mantenerse firme en contra de la fuerza arrolladora de la experiencia de la negatividad".

Doble papel del arte
Un tema recurrente es el "carácter dual del arte: el autónomo y el hecho social" (ÄT 340). Como un hecho social, una obra de arte es el producto del trabajo intelectual social y se convierte en una mercancía, al mismo tiempo que despoja al carácter de mercancía de su autonomía. Las obras de arte, según Adorno, encarnan lo opuesto a la ideología y la comodidad, representan la promesa de la felicidad y la utopía social. El arte deja que hable, "lo que esconde la ideología". La obra de arte dice la verdad sobre la sociedad en un lenguaje distinto de la teoría social crítica. Para Adorno, el arte no está relacionado con la sociedad a través de la configuración de los fenómenos sociales, sino a través de las formas y los medios de diseño. Es decir, el contenido social está en el que la sociedad y la lucha de clases afectan a la estructura de las obras, por lo que las obras de arte pueden ser entendidas como "el inconsciente de la historia de su tiempo" (EN 272). Por otro lado, las obras de arte tienen un efecto en la sociedad, no a través de una opinión manifiesta, sino a través de su "movimiento inmanente contra la sociedad" (AT 336).

Repetidamente cita la fórmula de Stendhal de la promesse du bonheur, para él una caracterización del arte que prefigura la utopía (ÄT 461). Pero: "El arte no es solo el gobernador de una práctica mejor que las reglas, sino también la crítica a la práctica como la regla de la autopreservación" (OT 26). Las obras de arte auténticas son "la historiografía inconsciente de su época" (AE 272), según la cual "el concepto crítico de la sociedad [...] es inherente". No en el contenido manifiesto sino en la estructura de las obras se expresan "luchas sociales, relaciones de clase" (ÄT 350 y 344).

Como el arte moderno ya no tiene normas vinculantes para el diseño artístico, las obras de arte deben desarrollar individualmente sus propias reglas a partir de su material y su construcción, y establecer sus propios estándares a partir de su lógica peculiar.

Edición original y traducciones
Ästhetische Theorie fue editada por Gretel Adorno (viuda del autor) y Rolf Tiedemann. Se recopilaron escritos inacabados que Adorno había realizado entre el 4 de mayo de 1961 y el 16 de julio de 1969, correspondiendo la parte más importante al periodo entre el 25 de octubre de 1966 y el 24 de enero de 1968, al que siguió una serie de revisiones llevadas a cabo entre septiembre de 1968 y julio de 1969, semanas antes de su muerte (agosto de 1969).

Su primera traducción al inglés (1984) fue acusada de ser excesivamente libre; realizándose una nueva en 1997 (Robert Hullot-Kentor) que reproduce la parataxis del texto original.

Kaffeemaschine 19 Slims Down the Moto Guzzi 1000SP
Mark Jessen, 31 Mar 2021 | News
When it comes to custom bikes, most are done on a commission basis. Typically, the customer is someone who knows what they want and is mature enough to make the investment required to build a bespoke bike. Kaffeemaschine's 19 does indeed have a client for the build, but this particular client is a bit different from any other you may have heard of. She's only 2.5 years old.

"I told my 2.5-year-old daughter that this is the bike I would give her one day," says Axel Budde, the owner of Kafeemaschine. "She insisted that it had to be blue. After a long process, I finally came across this vintage Volvo blue."
It wasn't just the colour that was customised for this bike, though. Budde worked on every minute detail. "I even modified the look of every screw," he says. Budde adds, "I really can assay that the only part that I used as it can be bought is the rubber carburettor flanges." Even though this bike will eventually go to his daughter, it's not going to sit idle while it waits. "I liked the idea of building a relaxed, all-day ride for myself," confesses Budde.
To that end, Budde started with modifying a frame from a V7 850T. He kept the double duplex brake from the same bike, then added a Le Mans 2 fork that was outfitted with new dampers and tubes. To fit the narrow frame, the drum brakes had to be modified, and the handle bar brackets were also slimmed down. Custom brackets were made for the headlight. The foot controls are also custom, and tie into the invisible cable mechanism.
An old bicycle headlight serve as the rear light, and Budd cast new valve and generator covers. The seat and tank are both custom and the swing arm comes from a Le Mans 3, while the rear-drive was rebuilt from an 850T. Powering the build is a Guzzi 1000SP engine with a matching transmission.
It may be a while before the intended client is big enough to ride the Maschine 19, but when she is, she'll have an incredible custom job waiting for her.

L'Impero di Nicea fu lo Stato più esteso ad essere fondato dai rifugiati romei di rito greco dell'Impero bizantino dopo la caduta di Costantinopoli ad opera dei partecipanti alla quarta crociata; ebbe vita dal 1204 al 1261.

Fondazione
Nel 1204 l'Imperatore bizantino Alessio V preferì imbarcarsi per andare in Tracia ad arruolare un esercito piuttosto che rimanere a Costantinopoli per essere catturato dai crociati. Costantino XI Lascaris, nipote dell'Imperatore Alessio III Angelo, fu proclamato Imperatore, ma fuggì anch'egli nella città di Nicea, in Bitinia, quando si rese conto che Costantinopoli era senza speranza. Qui fondò l'Impero di Nicea, che comprendeva le vecchie province asiatiche dell'Impero Bizantino, ma pochi mesi dopo morì e gli succedette il fratello Teodoro I Lascaris.

L'Impero latino fondato dai Crociati a Costantinopoli aveva poco controllo sui territori precedentemente appartenenti all'Impero bizantino, e sorsero in Epiro e a Trebisonda Stati che si proclamavano eredi dell'Impero come a Nicea. Questa era tuttavia la più vicina all'Impero latino e la favorita per ristabilire il vecchio potere imperiale. Teodoro inizialmente fallì, subendo due sconfitte a Poemanenum e a Bursa nel 1204, ma riuscì ad occupare gran parte dell'Anatolia nordoccidentale mentre l'Imperatore latino Baldovino I era costretto a difendersi da un'invasione da parte di Kaloyan di Bulgaria. Teodoro sconfisse inoltre un esercito di Trebisonda, oltre a vari altri piccoli rivali, conquistando la posizione di più forte tra gli Stati successori. Nel 1206 egli si proclamò Imperatore a Nicea.

Molte tregue e alleanze furono strette e rotte nel giro di pochi anni, mentre gli Stati successori, l'Impero latino, i Bulgari e i Selgiuchidi del Sultanato di Iconio (confinante con Nicea) combattevano tra loro. Teodoro tentò di dare legittimità alla propria rivendicazione nominando un nuovo Patriarca di Costantinopoli a Nicea, dopo due anni di sede vacante, Michele IV Autoreiano (20 marzo 1208 - 26 agosto 1214). Nel 1219 sposò la figlia dell'Imperatrice latina Iolanda di Fiandra, ma egli morì nel 1222 e gli succedette suo nipote Giovanni III Vatatze.

Espansione

Nel 1224 il latino Regno di Tessalonica fu conquistato dal Despota d'Epiro, ma questo stesso cadde sotto controllo bulgaro nel 1230. In assenza di un qualunque potere a Trebisonda, Nicea rimase l'ultimo Stato bizantino, e Giovanni III espanse la propria influenza nell'Egeo. Nel 1235 si alleò con Ivan Asen II di Bulgaria, permettendogli di annettere ai suoi territori Tessalonica e l'Epiro. Nel 1242 i Mongoli invasero i territori Selgiuchidi a ovest di Nicea e, nonostante Giovanni III fosse preoccupato che potessero attaccarlo, finirono con l'eliminare la minaccia selgiuchide per l'Impero niceano. Nel 1245 Giovanni si alleò col Sacro Romano Impero sposando Costanza Anna di Staufen, figlia di Federico II. Nel 1248 Giovanni aveva sconfitto i Bulgari e circondato l'Impero latino, contro cui combatté fino alla morte nel 1254.

Teodoro II Lascaris, figlio di Giovanni III, dovette fronteggiare delle invasioni bulgare in Tracia, ma riuscì a difendere i territori. Anche l'Epiro si rivoltò, alleato con Manfredi di Sicilia, e Teodoro II morì nel 1258. Giovanni IV Lascaris gli succedette, ma era ancora un bambino e la reggenza fu presa dal generale Michele Paleologo. Questi si proclamò co-imperatore (come Michele VIII) nel 1259, e presto sconfisse un attacco combinato del Despota d'Epiro, Manfredi, e del latino Principe d'Acaia alla battaglia di Pelagonia.

Riconquista di Costantinopoli

Nel 1260 Michele marciò sulla stessa Costantinopoli, cosa che non era stata mai possibile per i suoi predecessori. Egli si alleò con Genova e il suo generale Alessio Melisseno Strategopulo passò mesi ad osservare la città per pianificare l'attacco. Nel luglio del 1261, mentre la maggior parte dell'esercito latino era impegnato altrove, Alessio riuscì a convincere le guardie della città ad aprire le porte. Una volta dentro mise a fuoco il quartiere veneziano (in quanto questi erano nemici di Genova ed erano stati corresponsabili della caduta della città nel 1204). Michele fu riconosciuto imperatore del restaurato Impero bizantino poche settimane dopo.

Gli abitanti dell'Impero restaurato consideravano l'Impero di Nicea l'autentico successore di quello bizantino, nonostante l'Impero di Trebisonda continuasse ad esistere, come anche il latino Principato d'Acaia. L'Acaia fu recuperata presto, ma Trebisonda rimase indipendente. L'Impero doveva inoltre affrontare la nuova minaccia degli Ottomani, che erano subentrati ai Selgiuchidi.

How to Repair a Chipped Glass Corner
By: Lane Cummings
Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
Sometimes no matter how carefully you wrap or package a sheet of glass, such as the glass for a picture frame, the corners get chipped. A chipped glass corner can be more than just an eyesore, it can be downright dangerous, if the corner is on a glass coffee table that people pass by every day. Luckily, you don't need to spring for a brand new sheet of glass; you can easily repair it yourself.
Clear Epoxy
Loctite Glue Or Comparable Product
Blow on the chipped corner, making sure it's free of dust and debris. For small chips purchase a clear epoxy at a craft store. Simply dab dots of clear epoxy into the cracks and dents, filling them. Allow the epoxy to dry.
Purchase a glue that's specially made for glass, such as Loctite glue or a comparable product. Put on a pair of latex gloves. Move the glass piece directly in front of an open window, where there's plenty of sunlight.
Add a dot of glue to the chipped place that is half the size of the dent. Press the chipped piece onto the dent and hold in place for at least five minutes. Leave the piece of glass in the sun for at least two hours as the UV rays from the sun help bond this material.
Shave off any excess glue with a razor blade.

The US Attorney General (AG) has blamed "inaccurate and outdated media reports" for the ECJ finding that Safe Harbour is invalid, something one expert thinks is "laughable".
Speaking on Wednesday about a range of data-sharing worries, US AG Loretta Lynch took exception to the latest cleavages in US-EU data-sharing relations.
In recent months, problems with how data is transferred across the Atlantic – largely one-way – have grown.
Since the ECJ ruled Safe Harbour – the mechanism by which data was fairly freely sent from the EU to the US and back – invalid, businesses have worried over loss of earnings, while US officials have warned of terrorism.
Calling out the European Parliament for seeking union-wide data privacy legislation, Lynch perhaps forgot the 28 nations included in, what would be according to her logic, a stronger, multi-state policy.
However, it is her blaming of "inaccurate and outdated media reports" for the ECJ's Safe Harbour ruling that caught the eye of Mike Weston, CEO of data science consultancy Profusion.
"Although the striking down of Safe Harbour is inconvenient to US tech companies and unsettling for the global tech community, I think it is laughable to say that the judgment was based on faulty information," he said.
"To anyone familiar with the matter there is a clear divergence between the US and EU in relation to data protection standards.
"This situation was further underlined by the passage of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act in the US last month.
As for a Safe Harbour 2.0, reports throughout the year, even prior to the ECJ landmark ruling, were that it was on the way. However, according to Max Schrems – who pioneered the attack on Safe Harbour – this may not be the case.
Just had a very nice meeting with @VeraJourova on #SafeHarbor. Seems they try their best with the US – but not 100% sure we'll see a SH 2..

Some kids know this rhyming verse, taken from the 'Song of the Witches' in Shakespeare's Macbeth, as Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble. Whichever way you want to sing it, it's very appropriate for the night that's in it tonight. You might be short of bat's wool or newt's eyes for this recipe. And we're not quite sure where you'll get frogs toes or lizard's legs. But we can assure that in William Shakespeare's day, there was plenty of them around! On Halloween night, there will be dark witches out there to knock up this bloodcurdling broth in no time!
Mr Jeffares Blackcurrants Warming Winter Punch is an inky dark hot drink of Mr J's Blackcurrant Cordial, infused with spices. A fruity punch perfect for warming up cold little hands this Halloween. Packed with Vitamin C, it's also a great brew for warding off coughs and sneezes as winter sets in. Grown ups can add a splash of brandy or other spirits to make this a boozy brew. Now you're talking!
We all know the link between witches and apples. The women in the pointy black hats tend to inject all sorts of potions into these crispy fruit to trick unsuspecting victims into eating the apple and falling under their power at Halloween. But we promise you this Mulled Apple Juice Punch isn't the work of a witch. It's nothing but pure Irish goodness in a warming glassful.
Look to growers like Con Traas at The Apple Farm or the Englebrechten family at Ballycross Apple Farm for Irish apple juice made from apples grown on the farm. Simply heat a bottle of juice with a stick of cinnamon and an orange stuck with cloves over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to almost bubbling. Then turn off the heat and leave for the spices to infuse for a few moments before serving. A great fruity hot drink for kids and drivers. For adults and non-drivers, make this a little bit boozy by adding a bottle of Irish cider like The Apple Farm's cider. A splash of brandy intesifies the flavours. Float apple slices in the warm punch and serve in heatproof glasses.
Real hot chocolate takes some beating as a warming brew on Halloween night. Good Food Ireland chocolatiers make great chocolate to melt into hot milk for a taste of the real thing. You need about 175g good quality dark chocolate drops or chopped chocolate for a pint of milk. Heat the milk and stir the chocolate in to melt. Pour into two mugs and top with whipped cream and little marshmallows to finish.
For a seasonal soup to go into your Halloween cauldron, try this Roasted Pumpkin Soup from The Butler's Pantry. A great way to use up your carved out pumpkin flesh and warm the cockles of the Trick or Treaters hearts, when they return home with their loot later this evening. Gorgeous colours, and flavours of the season.


My grandmother had a sparkling Christmas tree brooch that she bought at a craft show years ago. My mother inherited that brooch and wears it every year during the holidays. I always wanted one of my own and I finally made one...I love wearing it and loved making it so I made some more. Pick your favorite season and join me for a relaxing, hand sewing project that will add some sparkle to your life!
