Our new library, archive and children's art library
Inside the new library, archive and children's art library
The library and archive at the Art Gallery of New South Wales has undergone the most important transformation in its history.
As part of the Sydney Modern Project, the Art Gallery's original building has been revitalised, with the library and archive rehoused in beautiful new facilities – a move that has also occasioned a rethinking of its role, services and collections.
Most significant among these is a new children's art library, the first of its kind in Australia and one of only a few in the world.
The Ashley Dawson-Damer Children's Art Library – named after the Gallery trustee whose generous gift made it possible – is colourful, light-filled and welcoming. It was designed to provide a sense of discovery and wonder, and be a place for ideas and imagination, with child-sized 'cubby houses' for reading, tables for engaged learning, and a big comfortable lounge for adults to read with kids, and older children to become absorbed in a book.
This is a place for young people and their families to drop by to enjoy a collection especially for them, including books about art and artists and books by artists. Books in languages other than English and books by First Nations authors and illustrators form an essential part of this collection, as well as books for children living with disability or who have access requirements. A hearing loop is active in these spaces, which will host a regular program of events and activities.

This idea of access and openness extends to the rest of the library, named the Edmund and Joanna Capon Research Library, in honour of our former director, who led the Art Gallery from 1978 to 2011, and his wife.
The capacity for visitors to browse the book and periodical collections on open shelves emerged as a top priority from wide consultation with artists and researchers in the planning stages. More than a few noted that creativity often involves the chance discoveries that open shelves facilitate. Over a 100,000 books and 1400 periodical titles are consequently available for browsing. One in every five items is in a language other than English and many more are bilingual.
Open access is a departure from current trends, where the cost of space has seen collections put into storage, to be accessed only on request. The open-access model, however, supports recent thinking about the role of space in shaping the experience of visitors to museums, promoting an interactive model of encounter where learning arises from meaningful experiences. This model also serves artists by providing a place and services where people can learn more about artists, in addition to our role in documenting artistic practice.
Our new library and archive is always visible through glazed walls. The library entrance is designed to encourage casual visits; no reader's card is required and an information desk is located at the entry, with the more traditional reference desk located near the impressive reading room.
To reach this reading room, you must pass through the National Art Archive and rare collections housed at the centre of the new facilities. These are enclosed for security but still visible, and have their own smaller archive study room.
In that study room is a small wooden cabinet that was commissioned by the Gallery trustees of the time to celebrate the contribution of fellow trustee Sydney Ure Smith to the Art Gallery. Ure Smith was Australia's most important art publisher and, when he retired in 1947, the cabinet held everything then published on Australian art. You can still see those books in the cabinet, but now the holdings on Australian art take up two entire floors in the double-height Joanna Capon Reading Room.
This is a tangible display of a growing confidence in Australian culture and an expanded understanding of what this encompasses. In the Ure Smith cabinet, for instance, there is hardly anything published on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and hardly anything on women artists.
The Art Gallery was famously described by artist Arthur Streeton in 1920 as a 'temple' of art. Today it aims to be more like a forum, promoting reflection and dialogue while also keeping in mind the broader responsibilities and powers of museums as social, inclusive and accessible institutions.
The boardroom, director's office, archive and library were all housed in one room of the Art Gallery when this photograph was taken in 1914
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of when our library was first made fully accessible to the public, as part of the major extensions to the Art Gallery that opened in 1972, designed by Andrew Andersons. However, the history of the library extends further.
In 1945, when Hal Missingham began as director of the Art Gallery, establishing a 'first class art library' was one of his priorities. An artist himself, he was sensitive to the desire of fellow artists to access up-to-date publications and periodicals.
In the mid 1950s, a gallery next to a prints and drawings study room was converted into a library. Artist Judy Cassab noted in her diary (now in the National Art Archive) that it was 'open every Thursday. I look at art magazines from New York, Belgium, France, Germany and Japan.' It was here that she came to see that 'the whole world has turned abstract expressionist'.
It was 1959 before the first professional librarian was appointed at the Art Gallery. At this time, our professional staff comprised merely the director and his deputy, a curator (designated as a professional assistant), a conservator and the librarian.
Eventually under under Edmund Capon, the library took on new permanent staff, doubled in size and moved twice. Under our current director, Michael Brand, it has now moved again and further increased in size.
Our world-class library, archive and children's art library can be found on lower level 3 of our historic building now known as the South Building, within the expanded art museum campus created through the Sydney Modern Project.

A young Christian girl accused of burning pages of Islam's holy book was freed Saturday from a jail near the capital where she had been held for three weeks, a Pakistani jail official said.
The release a day after a judge granted her bail is another step closer to ending an episode that has focused an uncomfortable spotlight on Pakistan's harsh blasphemy laws, which can result in life in prison or even death for defendants. Many critics say the laws are misused to wage vendettas or target Pakistan's vulnerable minorities like the Christians.
The jail official, Mushtaq Awan, said the girl left the prison in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad amid tight security.
An Associated Press reporter on the scene said she was taken from the prison in an armored vehicle and whisked to a waiting helicopter while covered with a sheet to protect her identity.
A Muslim cleric from her neighborhood was arrested last week for planting evidence to incriminate the girl, an about-face in a case that has drawn strong international condemnation. Even in Pakistan where there is significant support for punishing people accused of desecrating the Quran or insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammed, the girl's age and questions about her mental state have earned her a degree of public sympathy often lacking in other blasphemy cases.
Her lawyers say they will now push to have the case against her thrown out entirely.
''Her parents were with her when she was freed from the jail, and she has been taken to a safer place,'' said a member of her legal team, Tahir Naveed Chaudhry.
The girl's release came a day after a judge in Islamabad granted bail to the mentally challenged girl, a move hailed by the human right activists and representatives of Pakistan's minority Christian community. Bail is rarely granted in blasphemy cases, and the decision signals a degree of sympathy that could result in all the charges being dropped.
The girl, who medical officials say is 14 years old, was arrested Aug. 16, shortly after hundreds of angry Muslims surrounded her house, and accused her of burning pages from the Quran, an act punishable by life in prison. Her lawyer has denied the allegation.
But in a sudden turn-around, police arrested a cleric after a follower from his mosque accused him of stashing pages of a Quran in the girl's bag to make it seem as if she burned them. He allegedly planted the evidence to push Christians out of the neighborhood and is now being investigated for blasphemy himself. He has denied the allegation.
The arrest was applauded as a rare occurrence when blasphemy accusers are held responsible for false claims.
In his ruling granting bail, the judge wrote that the arrest of the cleric cast serious doubt on the prosecution's case. He also said she was a minor, had mental challenges and that it was ''not believable'' that she had intentionally burnt the Quranic verses. On those grounds, he decided to grant the bail.
The tight security present during her release is a sign that authorities are taking her safety seriously in light of previous attacks on people accused of blasphemy. Two prominent politicians were gunned down last year for suggesting the blasphemy laws should be amended to prevent misuse. The killer of one of the politicians was later lauded by supporters who threw rose petals whenever he appeared at court.
A man in the central Pakistani city of Bahawalpur was beaten to death in July by an angry mob after he was accused of blasphemy.

Solidarity with the Communist Party of Ukraine
The Communist Party of Ireland expresses its solidarity with the Communist Party of Ukraine in its struggle against the imperialist coup d'état and in defence of the working class.
In the twenty years since the defeat of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian people have been governed by rival groups of thieves, who have enriched themselves with no regard for the impoverishment and misery they were inflicting on the population. These oligarchs have no scruples about placing themselves at the service of the imperialist powers, the European Union and the United States of America.
The imperialists have long experience in exploiting differences and creating division. In Ukraine, people of Russian and Ukrainian ancestry are being set at each other's throats. Russian and Ukrainian chauvinism are equally opposed to the interests of the people of Ukraine, who have long lived together peacefully.
The imperial powers—not for the first time—have enlisted the services of openly fascist organisations. Indifferent to the consequences of their actions and the atrocities committed, ignoring even the massacre at the Trade Union House in Odessa, they are concerned only with their expansionist project, the drive to the east. They think they can control the fascist gangs; they think they can create a civil war without consequences for themselves.
One hundred years after the outbreak of the inter-imperialist war of 1914–18 the EU and the United States still use war as an instrument of policy. They are prepared to inflict even greater suffering on the people of Ukraine; they are prepared to risk an even wider war. The oligarchs and the fascists are happy to assist them in their plans.
The Communist Party of Ukraine is at the centre of the resistance to the coup d'état, to the fascist gangs, to the surrender to imperialism and to their war plans. The regime wishes to silence its voice and now threatens to ban the party. It has suffered terrorist attacks and hooligan assaults, even in the parliament, where it is not allowed to function. It continues the struggle, against the oligarchy, against imperialist domination, against chauvinism, and for a peaceful and democratic Ukraine.


India, a nation with more than 1.3 billion people and a constitutional commitment to a multicultural society, is struggling with the definition of "people." The Daily Devil's Dictionary explains.
With a general election approaching, India has been focusing its attention on what the prime minister, Narendra Modi, represents for voters. Will his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win another landslide victory, which would confirm Modi's sense of his own authority? Or will serious disappointment with his performance as prime minister lead to a hung parliament? Where would that leave Modi as a leader?
But there are other more serious questions facing India than the impact of the election on Modi's image. What effect will the result have on growing tensions between Hindus and Muslims?
Hindu nationalism played an important part in the BJP's triumph in 2014. Just as Donald Trump's election in the US encouraged the white supremacists who had been marginalized and shamed by previous administrations, Modi's rise to leadership empowered those who see India's Muslims as internal enemies of the Hindu religion and culture. Although the seeds of today's increasingly tense communal conflict existed at the time of India's independence, and were amplified by the British, the democratic principles written into the Indian Constitution clearly aimed at the establishment of a multicultural society.
Anyone in any way different from those who believe their group represents the nation. Treasonous.
National identity has become the major and increasingly unmanageable issue of democracies across the globe, as has become evident in the UK (Brexit), the US (white supremacy encouraged by Trump) and even more obviously in Israel, but also in India, China, Hungary and elsewhere.
At the core of this phenomenon is the largely unjustifiable belief that, in a modern democracy, a quality called "national identity" exists as a fixed attribute of real people. In traditional European monarchies before the age of democracy, people living within a realm or outside it willingly equated the identity of the monarch with the "body politic," which stretched outwards from the king's person to include all the people under the sovereign's authority.
The theory of the "King's Two bodies" — starting from the physical body of the king ("the Body natural") — projected an idea of collective identity with the nation's laws and customs ("the Body corporate"). The first body was mortal; the other immaterial and intangible. The king could act as a decision-maker but symbolically incorporated in his own being the life and the character of the entire community.
The problem then becomes how to think about the definition of "people." Is it a majority of voters in an election? Is it an idealized "standard" citizen, who obeys the laws and respects the customs of the community and who may be mass produced by the educational system? Or is it a certain configuration of cultural traits — religion, ethnicity, class — that some consider "normal" for real or imaginary historical reasons and then attempt to impose their idea of normality on others?
Even the notion of a standard citizen — who "respects the customs of the community" — raises a serious question. What is the community?
What we are seeing across the globe today, in nations where the citizens elect their governments, is growing uncertainty about what the political leaders themselves think about the question of what constitutes "the people" and "the community." Donald Trump and Narendra Modi are two examples of this, playing with concepts they cannot control.
Tharoor points out that it was the British who created the idea that Hindus and Muslims were "monolithic communities." Under the authority of the egregiously incompetent Lord Mountbatten, the British subsequently put into practice what they believed was a rational division of the former British Raj into the two "monolithic" cultures by drawing the absurd borders between India and Pakistan (including East Pakistan, now Bangladesh).
Modi came to power through the curiously combined effect of two factors: his success as chief minister of Gujarat in developing the local economy and his commitment to militant Hindu nationalism, concretized for the public by his actions in the 2002 Gujarat riots. To ensure his election and affirm his authority, he added a third factor by boasting (albeit indirectly) of having a 56-inch chest.
Is Narendra Modi the Donald Trump of India, who will be remembered more for his egotism and narcissism than for his half-baked economic reforms? If the BJP maintains its majority — or even if it loses it — will exacerbated communal tensions tear India apart? And beyond India, does this correspond to a global trend? Brexit has divided the UK, perhaps irreparably, into two curiously defined communities, where L and R no longer mean left and right, but leave and remain. To gain an electoral advantage, Trump has leveraged the existential doubt (and potential anger) of white Americans as their numerical majority keeps dwindling. Is this the prelude to a new civil war, but this time even messier because it's not between two regions?
All eyes are on Brexit, even now that the sell-by date of March 29 has officially passed. All eyes will then turn not only to India in May, but also to the European elections and then on to the 2020 US presidential election, which is already heating up 18 months ahead of time.
And, in the background, it's the stability of the idea of national democracy that is at stake and risks becoming unsustainable.

Willie Mae's fried chicken was probably the most highly anticipated bite of this whole trip for me. In fact, this might have topped the list of dishes I wanted to try in America. I'm a huge fan of fried chicken; Willie Mae's is supposed to have some of the best in the country. Popularized countless times by the likes of the Food Network and Travel Channel, it kind of seems like the Peter Luger of fried chicken. Pretty much legendary status.
The menu at Willie Mae's offers a host of southern specialties like a country fried pork chop, smothered veal, and fried catfish or shrimp. These items are supposedly good, but I'll likely never know – we were here for fried chicken.
They really call it that. But I'd have to say, even with really high expectations, the chicken pretty much delivered. Without requesting it, we actually got all white meat (breast and two wings). It was certainly well-seasoned, I could see how someone may say over-seasoned, served hot out of the fryer and full of flavor. Very juicy too, especially for white meat. The batter had great crunch, carrying the seasoning and having great interplay with the moist meat. Fried okra was solid too, while the cornbread was OK.
I've had red beans and rice on the west coast and thought I knew the dish. Nope. This was phenomenal, packed with so much delicious depth of flavor. Never had anything like it. Surely there was plenty of pork fat involved to make it taste so good. Wrong again. All of the sides here are vegetarian. Incredible.
Craving a taste of what Willie Mae's dark meat fried chicken was like, we stopped by their other location near Tulane. Willie Mae's Grocery & Deli opened late in 2014. It's in a better neighborhood than the original spot and open on Sundays (the original isn't).
Dark meat was even better. As expected, it was generously seasoned, full of juicy flavor and again served piping hot.
I was happy to have a chance to try Willie Mae's and even happier that it didn't disappoint. In terms of fried chicken, for me it ranks right up there with Ad Hoc's (which I had the pleasure of being able to try within a month of each other). The red beans and rice brought it up to another level, making for a great pairing with the chicken. It's a combination that is really, really hard to beat.
Haha wow that's a pretty robust list. Thanks for sharing! R'evolution was on my radar but just didn't make the cut with limited meals. Next time! Too bad to see Commander's Palace so far down the list. Did you try Cafe Beignet? I actually liked that better than Cafe Du Monde.
We tried two beignet places, Cafe Du Monde and Morning Call. Cafe Beignet was our 3rd choice. We'll probably head their when we return in a few years. I'll share a link to our trip once I post it. I'm posting our Germany trip now and it takes forever. Hopefully, I'll get to the New Orleans trip by Sept.
Keep posting and traveling, I always enjoy reading!!

Dr Liam Fox speaks in the House of Commons on Public Health
Thursday, 7 January, 2021
May I begin by acknowledging the difficulty of the task faced by Health Ministers and the Prime Minister in this crisis? We have a proportion of the public who want a full lockdown, irrespective of the consequences to the economy, and we have another proportion of the population who want no lockdown whatever, irrespective of the consequences to public health. However, even those who reluctantly accept the need for further restrictions must be mindful of the balance between the authority of Government and the responsibility of citizens, and I agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Altrincham and Sale West (Sir Graham Brady) that we need to have sufficient parliamentary oversight during the period for which these restrictions are in place. I hope to hear from the Minister a Government commitment to more debate and regular votes during this period so that Parliament can express its view on behalf of the public.
I would like to say a few words about the vaccine programme. First, I congratulate the Government on having a world-leading immunisation programme, with two very difficult elements that have to be kept in balance—the supply of the vaccine and an adequate number of vaccinators. Of course, those two elements of the logistics have to go hand in hand and at the same speed—not an easy task for Ministers.
We will have to have a surge capacity in vaccinators to be able to deal with demographic and regional differences across the country and to avoid rate-limiting steps in the process. I made a point to the Prime Minister this morning about how difficult it has been for former GPs such as myself to get back into the vaccinating process and about the number of courses we have been asked to complete. I was delighted to hear the Secretary of State announce this afternoon that there will be some changes to that, and I think that is the fastest action I have ever known from a Government in 28 years—raise the issue with the Prime Minister in the morning, and get an answer from the Secretary of State in the afternoon. Incidentally, I think there is an easy fix to this problem. We can get those who want to come into the programme to fulfil two of the better modules—Core Knowledge for COVID-19 Vaccinators and Minimum Requirements for Staff Returning to the NHS.
However, we will also require more scrutiny of the vaccine process itself if we are to be confident in endorsing the public health policy that we have. We need to look better at the modelling and the data that is out there about the effectiveness of a single dose in creating sufficient population immunity, if that is to take place rather than the two doses, and we need to look at an assessment of the Pfizer vaccine in producing continued immune response in the three weeks after the first dose, as was originally envisaged, and in the extended extend 12-week period. It is essential that we know that these things are based on proper scientific data. The key to the success of the strategy will be our ability to understand the data and to unlock the lockdown and get back to normal.
This has been a very difficult time for everyone. We must at least learn the lessons for the future, because the pandemic will not be a once-in-a-generation event.

A lot of traders get confused on what kinds of stop loss orders to take. Experienced traders put limit orders and watch the markets while new traders watch the markets and take normal stop loss when they see the stock is moving against their trade.
When things can be automated we should automate the process of stop loss orders. This is the Stop Loss Limit Orders. Once the trade is taken a trader can decide where to take a stop loss and keep that order in the system.
If the stock comes near it and breaks the level, the stop loss limit order gets triggered.
Do not get confused Stop Order does not mean that it is just the stop loss order, it can be placed to book profits as well.
However to place a stop loss or stop profit order in the system there is a problem.
When you put the first stop system either the profit taking or the loss, no extra margin money is blocked as the system knows it is only to close the order so nothing extra is required.
But when you place the second stop or profit taking order it is considered a new trade and more margin is required.
Let say you bought a stock for 100 and want to take profit out at 105. But you are in a hurry and leave your system but want to make sure you want to take a SL at 95. You are first worried about stopping the loss so keep 95 in the system as sell the stock at 95. Now as soon as you want to keep the profit booking stop at 105 this will be treated as a new trade. Your system does not care about your profit or loss. It does not have any brains. All it knows till now is that you bought the stock at 100 and want to sell it for 95, so no more margin is required. But as soon as you keep another stop sell at 105 it treats as a new trade as it considers the first one as the final stop, the second one as a new trade.
So as soon as you keep another sell at 105 it will ask for new margin.
There is another problem. Let say you had the margin and kept the stop loss at 95 and profit stop at 105 and left your system for the urgent work. Let us assume after 1 hour the stop loss is hit at 95 and the order is not complete, but the sell the stock at 105 is still alive in the system.
Because the system treat edit as a new trade so why should it close that?
Please note that you may consult about this from your broker as well. Some brokers have this facility to cancel any other trade in the same stock or option if one of the stop got triggered. However the second stop has to be in of same type and same stock same number of shares.
For example if the stock was XYZ, then the second stop should be also be of XYZ. If the shares bought was 10 then the second stop should also ne 10 only. If the stock was bought for Intraday then the second stop should also be for Intraday not positional.
Hope you got the point, everything – the type of trade, the indices, the number of shares all should be same only then the second stop will also get cancelled.
But please make sure that your broker allows this or not. As far as I know most brokers only allow one stop else, they treat the second stop as a new order and ask for more margin plus they will not cancel the second order automatically, you will have to manually cancel the second order.
That is the reason it is always better to hedge the trade as soon as you take the original trade. There is no tension there is no extra margin required.
How to hedge the trades is properly explained in my course.
In Intraday It can be done via Bracket Orders But in carry forward its not possible.
Yes Amit but the problem with Bracket Orders is that most just do not know. And most importantly trades from normal backgrounds or novice traders do not know about Bracket Orders at all. The above is explained in the same way it is written assuming you are not doing a Bracket Order, then the above applies. My analysis says in India very few traders know Bracket Orders – could be less than 10%. The reason I said consult your broker was the same – if they allow Bracket Orders its obvious they will tell him to use it.
In any case Bracket Orders are Intraday product. All Bracket order trades will be squared off around 3.20 pm automatically by the system. You cannot carry forward Bracket Orders to the next day.

Chocolate Facts and Figures
POSTED 8th July 2019
Britons munched their way through over £37.5m worth of Fairtrade chocolate in 2008 (Source: The Independent, 12 October 2010).
COCOA CULTIVATION
Chocolate is actually made from a fruit – the cocoa bean. About 40 cocoa beans are contained within a cocoa pod.
In Ghana cocoa trees are cultivated on small farms in amongst other rainforest crops such as maize and bananas. The rainforest canopy and other plants protect the cocoa tree, providing shade from the intense Ghanaian sun.
A cocoa tree will produce two harvests per year of about 50 pods. When a cocoa pod is ripe it will turn red, yellow or orange. Each pod contains about 40 almond-sized seeds – enough to make about eight bars of milk chocolate or four bars of dark chocolate. (Source: The BitterSweet World of Chocolate)
Cocoa can live for up to 200 years, but only produces viable cocoa beans for 25 years.
The Latin name for the cocoa tree is Theobroma Cacao which means 'Food of the Gods'. The Swedish botanist Linnaeus gave the cocoa tree this name in the eighteenth century and it demonstrates how revered the tree has always been.
West Africa has been the centre of world cocoa cultivation for over 60 years and today produces 70% of the world's cocoa. (Source: ICCO 2012) The four major cocoa produces in West Africa are the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon.
Ghana produces 25% of the world's cocoa (Source: Worldcocoafoundation.org).
90% of the world's cocoa production comes from smallholder farms (source: fairtrade.org.uk)
Ghana is the world's second biggest cocoa producing country. The Ivory Coast is the world's largest producer.
Did you know that playing music attracts snakes? So it is not a good idea for farmers to take a radio with them whilst harvesting their crop of cocoa!
Cocoa is very prone to diseases like Black Pod and Mirid
By Ancient People from the Land of Aztec (Ancient Aztec Stone Compass) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
The Olmecs of Mexico were the first civilisation to use the cocoa beans which grew wild in Central America as far back as 1500BC. That's over 3,500 years ago!
The Mayans were the first real chocolate lovers. They roasted and ground the cocoa beans, then mixed in vanilla, chilli and spices to make a cold bitter drink with the consistency of gruel. It tasted nothing like the hot chocolate drink that we so love today.
The Eden Project suggest this as the old recipe for hot chocolate: Chcolatl.Cacao nibs (or unsweetened cocoa powder), maize, star anise, cloves, chilli powder, cinnamon, vanilla, annatto
Later the Aztecs used the drink as part of their religious ceremonies. They believed that anyone who ate cocoa beans would be blessed with spiritual wisdom, energy and enhanced sexual powers. The Aztec Emperor Montezuma reportedly drank fifty cups of chocolate each day. He said, "The divine drink which builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink permits a man to walk for a whole day without food". Chocolate truly has divine roots!
The Aztecs loved and valued the cacao bean so highly that they used it as currency during the height of their civilisation.
Cocoa beans were brought back to Spain in the sixteenth century. It remained the preserve of royalty and the aristocracy well into the eighteenth century and was drunk in bed at breakfast time.
Chocolate houses sprang up in London in the seventeenth century and were frequented by the upper classes. By 1700 there were 2,000 in London. Samuel Pepys referred to a visit he took to a chocolate house: "went out with Mr Creed to drink our morning draught, which he did give me in chocolate to settle my stomach".
It has only been in the last 200 years that chocolate turned into the chocolate bars that fill our shelves today.
A number of the big names in chocolate today (Cadburys, Fry's, Terry's, Rowntree's) were founded with money from Quaker families who were keen for chocolate to take the place of alcohol. They saw the consumption of alcohol as a sin, whereas chocolate consumption was merely a minor vice.
Fuelled by their desire for its delicious taste, the rulers of Europe established plantations in other equatorial countries where the cocoa tree thrives.
In 1879 a Ghanaian man named Tetteh Quarshie brought a few cocoa seedlings he retrieved from Fernando Po in Equatorial Guinea back home to Ghana which he planted on his farm in the small town of Mampong. The conditions proved ideal for growing cocoa, and his crop was exported from the country two years later. This marked the beginning of a revolution in Ghana's national economy.
By 1911 Ghana was the world's largest cocoa producer and remains the world's second largest producer to this day. You can visit Tetteh Quarshie's farm and see Ghana's first cocoa plant – it's still alive 130 years later!
Cocoa is Ghana's most important agricultural earner today.
CLAIMS MADE ABOUT THE POWERS OF CHOCOLATE
The Aztecs were the first to purport that cocoa had aphrodisiac properties and for this reason all foods made with cocoa were forbidden to women! In the seventeenth century an Austrian professor tried to ban the drinking of chocolate in monasteries because it 'inflamed passions'.
When the Spanish conquered South American Aztec lands they discovered the Aztec's special drink and found that a draught of chocolate could sustain them for a whole day's hard marching.
Chocolate contains over 300 chemicals including a multitude of vitamins, minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium).
Fall in love with Divine: Chocolate contains a chemical called phenylethylamine which is released naturally in the body when you fall in love and is also considered to be an aphrodisiac.
Even the smell of chocolate causes relaxation: it significantly reduces theta activity in the brain which is associated with relaxation (Source: International Journal of Psychophysiology, 1998).
A cup of cocoa (using pure cocoa powder) has double the amount of antioxidants as green tea (Source: Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, 2003).
Chocolate also contains dopamine which is a natural painkiller. Serotonin which is found in chocolate produces feelings of pleasure. Chocolate has over 400 distinct smells. A rose has only fourteen and an onion just six or seven.
What is happiness? Brits prefer a chocolate bar to an extravagant holiday abroad. It's the small things that make us happy, a survey reveals. A small gift such as chocolate was in the top five of the Happy Poll carried out by the Happy Egg Company (Source: Happy Egg Company poll, 29 Oct 2009).
CHOCOLATE INDUSTRY TODAY
The UK has the seventh highest consumption of chocolate in the world and the 4th biggest in Europe. The average Brit consumed 8.4kg of chocolate in 2017 (Source: Mintel). Switzerland takes the top spot. 40% of the chocolate eaten in the world is consumed in Europe.
66% of chocolate is consumed between meals with 22% of all chocolate consumed between 8pm and midnight (Source: The World Atlas of Chocolate).
Britain really is a nation of chocolate lovers. In Britain we eat an estimated 660,900 tonnes of chocolate a year, an average of 11kg per person per year. This equates to about 3 bars a week.
The UK chocolate industry is worth £3.96billion (Source: Mintel 2012) and sales of chocolate just keep growing and growing, with an estimated 35% increase in sales over the next five years.
8,000 new chocolate products were introduced worldwide in 2008 – meaning that a new chocolate treat was launched almost every hour of every day in 2008 (Source: Mintel Global New Products Database, February 2009).
In two years (2005 – 2007) sales of chocolate doubled in the UK. And the biggest growth was in dark chocolate. Sales in 2007 reached £85m (Source: Mintel, April 2010).
Easter chocolate production increased by 23% in 2017
Production of chocolate bites increased by 50% and Chocolate thins by 48% (Source: Mintel)
73% of chocolate consumers in the UK prefer plain chocolate.
Nearly 7.7 million tonnes of chocolate will be consumed worldwide by the end of 2019 (Statista)
A quarter of British people between the ages of 25 – 34 eat chocolate daily.
It takes two to four days to make a single-serving chocolate bar.
UNUSUAL USES
Savoury dishes. Molé is ubiquitous with Mexico – it's a traditional sauce for chicken, turkey or beef. Added to the tomatoes, chilli, onions and spices is a small amount of dark chocolate and this creates a really rich sauce. You can add a square or two of Divine's 70% or 85% chocolate (or Divine cocoa) to lots of savoury stews and sauces to add an extra flavour dimension and to make them really rich and glossy.
Have you ever heard of chocolate art? Take a look at some of these incredible chocolate creations: www.foodisart.co.uk. Try your own on a smaller scale by using a brush to paint melted chocolate over a rose leaf (holding it by the stem), letting it dry, then carefully peeling off – fantastic decorations to cakes and puds!
Did you know you can pair chocolate with wine and even tea? Take a look at Divine's tasting notes.
If you're still not satiated then have a read of these chocolate classics: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl, 1964), Chocolat: A Novel (Joanne Harris, 1990), Like Water for chocolate (Laura Esquivel, 1995)
The Fairtrade cocoa price is a minimum of $2400 per tonne + $240 social premium per tonne.
There are now more than 480 Fairtrade chocolate products available to purchase in the UK (Source: The Independent, 12 October 2010).
78% of people in the UK now recognise the Fairtrade mark and sales of Fairtrade products totalled £1.57 billion in 2012 (Source: Fairtrade Foundation).
Fine chocolate does not have to mean a bar made with 70% plus cocoa solids. Quality depends on factors like the variety of beans, where they are grown, fermentation process, drying process, and the manufacturer's recipe & methods.
Chocolate features in Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutte where a maid enters a chocolate shop carrying a chocolate pot and cups and is eventually tempted to taste it.
In the 18th and 19th centuries it was common practice for corrupt persons to use brick dust and red lead in place of cocoa when making chocolate!
Store your chocolate at room temperature, not in the fridge. Keep it away from direct sunlight and from changes in temperature or it will turn white-grey (this is known as blooming). White chocolate is especially vulnerable to picking up foreign flavours, so keep it away from pungent foods.
Is it spelled cocoa or cacao? Reputedly the Victorians couldn't pronounce cacao and so renamed it cocoa.
Chocolate was included in soldiers' ration packs in World War I.
"What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate." Katherine Hepburn
"What use are cartridges in battle? I always carry chocolate instead." GeorgeBernard Shaw (British playwright and critic)
"If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?" Marquise de Sévigné (French writer and lady of fashion) February 11, 1677
"Chocolate is the greatest gift to women ever created, next to the likes of Paul Newman and Gene Kelly. It's something that should be had on a daily basis." Sandra Bullock
"[Chocolate is a] divine drink which builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink permits a man to walk for a while day without food." Hernan Cortes
"The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain." Thomas Jefferson
"Oh, divine chocolate! They grind thee kneeling, Beat thee with hands praying, And drink thee with eyes to heaven." Marco Antonio Orellana (18th century)
"Chocolate is a divine, celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea and universal medicine." Geronimo Piperni (1796) quoted by Antonio Lavedán, Spanish army surgeon, 1796
"There is a kind of alchemy in the transformation of base chocolate into this wise fool's gold." Joanne Harris, Chocolat
"If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavored chocolate... and marvels will be performed." Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, 1775-1826, author of 'Physiologie du gout' – 'The Physiology of Taste', one of the most celebrated works on food
"Waked in the morning with my head in a sad taking through the last night's drink, which I am very sorry for; so rose and went out with Mr Creed to drink our morning draft, which he did give me in chocolate to settle my stomach." From the Diary of Samuel Pepys, 17th century

Q: Transformation and its inverse transformation; when we can define inverse transformation? Suppose I have some function with
\begin{align}
\tilde{F}[t] = \int dx F(x) G(x,t)
\end{align}
I want to know what is the condition for the inverse transformation of $F$, exists, i.e.,
\begin{align}
F[x]= \int dt \tilde{F}[t] K[x,t]
\end{align}
and if exists how to find $K[x,t]$ with $G(x,t)$.
There are lots of transformations such as Fourier, Laplace, Mellin, and in each case, the kernel $G(x,t)$ and $K[x,t]$ is somewhat well-defined and explicitly known.
What are the conditions for $F, G, \tilde{F}, K$ for which the above relation(?) [I mean transformation and its inverse transformation works] holds?

Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Pure mind and intellect pass pure decision which does not lead to any kind of sin. In the absence of Vedic knowledge, Yajyen, name jaap and Ashtang yoga Philosophy mind and intellect cannot be made pure.
I mean to say that there are five senses, five perceptions which are outer organs of human beings. Five senses are eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin. Five organs of action are legs, arms, mouth and two excretory organs. Mann (mind), buddhi (intellect), chitta and ahankar constitute antahakaran. These are internal organs.
Suppose eye sees a snake, so the message of eye would be caught first by mind (mann), then it will be sent to intellect (buddhi). Intellect would send it to alive soul which resides between the human bodies. Alive soul sends message again to intellect (buddhi) either to run away from the site or to kill the snake etc., which ever is deemed fit. This order is passed on to mann (mind) and mann sends the order to either leg to run away to hand to kill the snake by any means-stick, stone etc.
You see, internal organs and outer organs are also non-alive matter and work only in the presence of alive souls and as soon as soul leaves the body at the time of death, then whole body also becomes dead same is the case with remaining four senses. As regards kaam (sensuality), krodh(anger), madh, lobh, ahankar, these are not organs but are called vices or vikaar of prakriti and hence lead to illusion. So, mann and buddhi never work independently if these are purified by worship etc. otherwise, what happens that a person has countless effects on his chitta of pious deeds and sins. Human body has been blessed by God to face the result of previous lives' pious deeds and sins. Accordingly, at one time, kaam (sensuality), krodh etc., are produced before the mind, due to the effect of previous lives' sins and may be present life's too. The situation is created to produce the anger. That is why, by seeing the object, anger would arise in mind, as quoted above. It would be sent to intellect, then soul. You see, if mind and intellect are purified then pure suggestion would be placed before the soul to order and definitely the purified order, to maintain love, justice etc., will be passed by mind. At the stage of purity of mind, intellect etc., by Tapasya, the soul also becomes free of illusion i.e., kaam, krodhh ahankar, ninda, dwesh, chugli etc. hence, no injustice will be done. I mean to say, the sixth sense mind and 7th sense – intellect, are the inner organs which work under the alive soul. Otherwise, we can say 6th sense is the illusion free soul where there cannot be any scope of injustice. If soul is not free from illusion then 6th sense is mind and 7th is intellect and both promote injustice and send the corrupt message to soul to obey and when soul orders intellect and mind, it means soul is free from illusion and the cases of illusion free soul are very few in number.
Anonymous: I am very keen to participate in Yajyen but I have recently done Shraddh and I cannot do Puja Karm before Annual Shradh, as told by Panditji. Please guide me for the same.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. I am sorry to listen about the death. May God give him peace. These are the views of the pandit that nobody can take part in spiritual activities etc., but Vedas tell after performing the final cremation no other deed is left. (Yajurveda mantra 40/15 refers). Now, it is upto us whether we follow preach of Almighty God in Vedas or the views of present pandit, etc.

History sells, according to an economic impact study released Wednesday morning about the Chesapeake Campaign events of 2013.
The study looked into the impact of two particular events, each named for the War of 1812 event it commemorates — Attack on Havre de Grace, which took place May 3-5, and the Battle of St. Michaels, which was Aug. 10-11. They are two in a series of community events celebrating the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 by highlighting each stop along the Chesapeake Campaign. Ten of those events took place in 2013.
The two events studied were quite different in size — Havre de Grace brought 26,000 people, while St. Michaels brought 5,500. Havre de Grace had an economic impact of $1,351,670, and the St. Michaels festivities had a $524,790 impact on Talbot County.
But for the size of each town, both events were very successful, said Jill Feinberg, of Star Spangled 200 Inc. The town of St. Michaels was at capacity for the festival, she said.
However, 58.5 percent of the Havre de Grace and St. Michaels visitors surveyed said that they were likely or very likely to attend another War of 1812 event in Maryland in the future.
That bodes well for the Star-Spangled Spectacular planned for Sept. 6-16, 2014, said Feinberg. A bookend of the Chesapeake Campaign, this festival will celebrate the bicentennial of the Star-Spangled Banner.
The event is expected to draw a huge crowd, just like the Sailabration did, but Feinberg is also hopeful that the Chesapeake Campaign raised awareness among Marylanders who may be more likely to visit Baltimore after enjoying a smaller event.

Playboi Carti's "Whole Lotta Red" First-Week Sales Are In
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Here's how many units Playboi Carti's "Whole Lotta Red" sold in its first week.
The tail-end of the year is always an awkward time to release new music, especially during a pandemic. Christmas 2020 landed on a Friday, the typical day for new album releases. While it was dry, for the most part, the long-awaited sophomore album from Playboi Carti arrived in its 24-song entirety.
Ser Baffo/Getty Images
Whole Lotta Red was pretty much two years in the making. The rapper has had fans on the edge of their seats anticipating its release. And while he has been a star in his own right, it appears that WLR certifies Playboi Carti as a mainstream giant. Immediately after its release, the first-week sales projections emerged and they were pretty high. Industry forecasters predicted that he would be pushing somewhere between 125,000-135,000 in its first week, earning Carti his first #1 on the Billboard 200.
Mind you, Taylor Swift's latest album is also going strong on the charts so it seemed like even with the high projections, there was a chance he wouldn't be able to notch the #1 spot. According to Hits Daily Double, Carti's latest album performed under its initial projections but still, Carti is essentially propped to hold down the top spot on the Billboard 200. With 110k-115K units moved, Carti will surely come out on top on the charts this week, marking the first #1 album of 2021.
Meanwhile, Lil Durk's The Voice has moved upwards of 65k-70k in its first full week, earning Durk the #3 spot on this week's chart.
Stay tuned for the official Billboard 200 announcement.

Q: How to intercept chunk migration in mongoDB I want to intercept chunk migration events of a particular (sharded) collection.
The changeLogs collection (from the Config server database) is not capped and we can't define a tailable cursor over it.

What would be the equivelent in CURL? Cause i've tried some variations in PHP but can't get it to work.
PHP Code, that i have tried:
$parameters = [
    'agent'    => [
    'name'    => 'Minecraft',
    'version' => 1
    ],
    'username' => $email,
    'password' => $password,
    'clientToken' => 'fff'
];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://authserver.mojang.com/authenticate");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$parameters);  //Post Fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$headers = array(
    'Accept: application/json',
    'Content-Type: application/json',
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close ($ch);

But i get response:
{"error":"JsonParseException","errorMessage":"Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign, for valid numeric value\n at [Source: (org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpInputOverHTTP); line: 1, column: 3]"}

If anyone has any insight on this please reply on this question!

A: Your problem is in the creation of the authentication object. You're creating a PHP array (you need an object), and you're not converting to JSON before sending.
Create the authentication object as an object, then use json_encode() to create a JSON string, and use that as your payload.
<?php

// Display some error s for this development code
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);

// Create the authentication object
$params = (object)[];
$params->agent = (object)['name'=>"MineCraft", 'version'=>'1'];
$params->username = "email";
$params->password='password';
$params->clientToken='fff';

// Now create the payload for cURL to use in its POST
$payload = json_encode($params);

// Set headers to match payload
$headers = array(
    'Accept: application/json',
    'Content-Type: application/json',
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://authserver.mojang.com/authenticate");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$payload);  //Post Fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$curlInfo = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

// Ok - see what we got.
echo "----------------------------
\n";
var_dump($response);
echo "----------------------------
\n";
var_dump($curlInfo);

This code gives this result:
{"error":"ForbiddenOperationException","errorMessage":"Invalid credentials. Invalid username or password."}

Since I don't have a user name or password at Mojang this is what I would expect

Pioneer DJM-T1 mixer with Traktor Scratch Duo Software
Shane McGlaun - Apr 6, 2011, 4:02am CDT
It seems like every time I look up Pioneer is tossing a new DJ this or that onto the market. I had no idea Pioneer was so big in the DJ market until the last year or so with all the new gear it has been offering up. The latest new DJ product is the DJM-T1 mixer that ships with Traktor Scratch Duo 2 software. The mixer is jam packed with some cool features that DJs will really like.
The DJM-T1 is a complete solution with a hybrid mixer, a controller, and an audio interface in one unit. Pioneer designed the new mixer to support and be ready to use the new features of the Traktor Duo 2 software right out of the box. The mixer can be used without a computer if the turntables stop working and the mixer has controls for the six FXs that are included in the software and for crossover adjustments as well.
The mixer supports the Sample Decks feature that allows the DJ to open two scratch decks and load up to four loops or samples in each. The device has a USB soundcard inside and it can be used for scratching with CDJs or turntables. The soundcard will allow the recording of sets to a computer using a cable and the device uses a 24-bit DA converter for clarity. The mixer also has enhanced fader operability and durability. Pricing and availability are unknown at this time.
