NOVEMBER 2018 LEGAL UPDATE: WILLS: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE ASSETS LOCATED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES?
Each country has their own laws relating to creation of wills and the distributions of deceased estates. When assets are held in different countries, care must be taken to meet the requirements which will allow an estate to be administered in each country.
Two witnesses who must sign the will; and a legal practitioner or a notary public who must sign both the will and a certificate in the form required by the Convention.
Despite an International Will being accepted in other countries, the will may still not be appropriate, or may not be clearly interpreted by the foreign country's court, particularly where there are substantial differences in law or language. This difficulty can be resolves through concurrent wills.
Concurrent wills are where the will-maker prepares separate wills for each country where the respective assets are owned. It is possible to make a will which will only apply to specific assets, or assets in a specific country. It is possible for a number of concurrent wills to be created for different countries. Usually, one of the wills will relate to all of the property of the will-maker, wherever property is situated, other than property in each jurisdiction for which another concurrent will is made, so that if property is located in other countries that are not covered by a specific will, the general will should apply to that property.
A great advantage of concurrent wills rather than one will (whether or not this is signed as an international will) is that application may be made for probate of each will in the country to which it applies. Where there is only one will, it is necessary for an application for probate to be made in one country and then for the probate to be resealed in each other country in which the will is required to be proven. Our experience has proven this to be a time consuming and complex process, which takes longer than a separate application for probate for separate concurrent wills.
If concurrent wills are made, very great care must be taken to ensure that these are each properly made and effective for the jurisdictions to which they apply. Usually, the creation of a new will revokes former wills that are made by the will-maker, so when concurrent wills are made it must be clear that each will does not revoke another concurrent will. It is particularly important to keep this in mind if the wills are made in different countries with the assistance of respective local lawyers, and our experience has shown this process happens most smoothly when there is a central co-ordinating lawyer.
Making concurrent wills may seem a complicated process, but it may be a very worthwhile process offering the benefits of faster distribution of the estate, which proves very important where there are tax concessions applies to assets of deceased estates which only exist for a short time after the death of the will-maker. Concurrent wills may avoid many difficulties and unintended consequences for the distribution of the estate of the will-maker in different countries and thereby avoid or reduce costs which would otherwise apply.
Please feel free to get in touch with our experienced team if you feel as though we can assist in drafting or updating your will.
Legal disputes create a lot of stress which can be eased by working with the right lawyer.
A legal dispute is a serious process governed by strict and complex rules of Court which provide processes, forms and deadlines. Failing to meet these rules can compromise your legal position and may lead to an unfavourable outcome in what is otherwise a strong case.
We will first meet with you to gain an understanding of your situation and preferred outcome. We will create a Letter of Advice for you which will outline your legal position and prospects of success.
If out of Court resolution does not seem possible, the matter will need to be taken to Court. Depending on the nature of your matter, your claim may be heard by the Federal Court, Queensland Supreme Court, the District Court or Magistrates Court. There are many steps in formal legal proceedings which must be closely followed, requiring skilled and experienced lawyers to navigate the process and protect your interests. These steps include filing an initial Statement of Claim, often followed by a series of applications, disclosure of documents between the parties, and interrogatories which must be managed efficiently and with precision to ensure a timely and cost effective outcome. Non-compliance with these rules of Court may amount to breach which can have consequences as severe as losing your right to the legal claim.
As you can see, all three stages of the development of a claim require guidance by experienced lawyers who can navigate you through the process and achieve your desired outcome. The team at Goodman Lawyers are experienced in pre-court resolution processes of mediation, conciliation and arbitration and litigation in Court. We will guide you through the matter providing you with confidence that your rights are being protected by competent and professional lawyers.
NOVEMBER 2018 LEGAL UPDATE: HAVE YOU BEEN ASKED TO SIGN A DIRECTOR GUARANTEE?
Requests made to company directors by financiers, suppliers, or real estate agents to sign a personal guarantee against a company's liabilities, often called Director Guarantees, are increasingly common. However, these guarantees can carve out protections offered by establishing a limited liability company, exposing the director to significant risk if the company finds itself in financial trouble.
A company director who signs a Director Guarantee gives a personal guarantee against the company's liabilities. If you have structured your business as a company, one of your main motivating factors was likely the financial protection an incorporated company offers to the owner, which shields your own personal assets in the event of insolvency. However, Directors Guarantees undo this shield and enable creditors access to your personal wealth in insolvency proceedings. Directors Guarantees are used frequently where a suppliers of credit assess that a company itself does not have enough security in terms of assets, meaning directors of small or start-up businesses are very frequently requested to undertake a Director's Guarantee.
A second, and more complicated issue arises when a director leaves a company. Unfortunately, resignation and notice to ASIC of the removal of a director has no effect on any Director's Guarantee entered. The guarantee remains enforceable against any departed director, as the personal guarantee has no connection with a guarantor's relationship with the company. To avoid a situation where you may be pursued for the enforcement of director's guarantees there are careful steps you should take upon entering a personal guarantee, and upon departure of a directorship. Guarantee removal is a complex process which requires legal advice for a smooth transition.
Although we suggest not to enter a Director's Guarantee, we understand there are situations where they cannot be avoided given the business environment in Australia at the moment. When you must enter a Director's Guarantee it is important to negotiate the guarantee, which can provide important protection such as limiting the guarantee, so it only applies while you are a director the company, capping the amount of the guarantee, limiting the guarantee time period. We will be more than happy to apply our experience in this area to ensure you are as secured as possible.

For back cover blurb and more information about this book visit Laurie London's website here.
Blue spiked hair, leather, piercings in tantalizing places--Jackson Foss is the ultimate bad boy. He's also a Guardian, sworn to protect humanity from the Darkbloods, vampires that have gone rogue and believe that humans should be cattle. Jackson has always followed the path of the Guardians, but lately he feels his edge is slipping. He's consuming more energy, more blood... and just a hairs breath away from becoming the very thing he's been destroying for over a century.
Arianna is just a girl interested in the paranormal, ever since her mother was attacked and killed by moving shadows. She's on the trail of a missing teenagers in the Seattle area, but her search for information is about to get in her a load of trouble. Enter a gorgeous man with a dragon blade to the rescue. Arianna's not sure if she can trust Jackson, but as the two get closer things heat up. The only question left is can they save each other before the enemy in the dark finds her?
Jackson's description above is missing one thing-- muscles. When I picture this guy he's the ultimate bad boy that has a motorcycle, and naturally attracts the attention of every girl in the bar. He definitely lives up to the reputation, but London finishes the fantasy by giving Jackson a deep and tortured side to. He's definitely got demons fueling his inner fire, and is constantly on the edge. At first glance you think what the other Sweetblood characters do, he's only after a good time. When Arianna comes onto the scene everything changes. Suddenly he's caring about a human in ways he's never felt about anyone. She's got him dangling on a string, and Jackson doesn't like it.
Arianna fights the attraction pretty well. She's more focused on her mission to reveal the truth behind the things lurking in the dark, and protecting her family. I love this character because she's incredibly strong and takes actions that go against the typical female reaction. For example the woman sees a vampire and instead of screaming out in horror she whips out a camera phone and starts snapping photos. London's heroine's are typically made of sterner stuff, but Arianna impresses.
Story flow and pacing are beautiful as always and next to London's first Sweetblood novel, Bonded by Blood, Jackson's story is one of my favorites. The villains are always a delight, and there's a good dose of humor in all the right places... in a few words: My Little Pony. If you want to know why the mention of a child's toy made me giggle you'll just have to read. London is just as amazing at painting a realistic environment, extremely detailed and in tune with our current reality. The vampire mythos in her story is equally engaging, and I hope she'll publish a companion book with stories about the history of the Guardians and the Darkbloods someday.
Overall, Tempted by Blood is a great read. It's fast paced and the action is rampant-- in the bedroom and out of it. The characters have personalities and quirks that drive you to them. Plus, if you're a fan of the series then you won't want to miss previous character appearances. Now, I'll patiently anticipate the next book, which honestly can't come fast enough!

This Jewish MC schools us on all things kosher and vegetarian.
Cleveland musician Ari Lesser spits some hot kosher fire off the dome on the streets of Tsfat, and it is damn impressive. In the video above, the MC raps about his vegetarianism and kosher diet.
Sneak peak: "No parrot/no matter how you prepare it/spare it/I'll snack on a carrot." Word. But we're not too sure he'd have much to talk about with everyone's favorite foodie rapper Action Bronson. Maybe Lesser and Bronson should have a rap battle which would forever end the carnivore vs. vegetarian debate.


The Wedding Dowry is a sacred part of Islamic culture and the dowry giving is specially celebrated in the holy city of Mecca. This stunning box we designed for a Meccan family encompasses walnut, olive and ebony woods along with camel bone and leather. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece.

World News This Week in Prayer – Thursday, December 1, 2016
O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
Psalm 63:1-4, NRSV
In this season of Advent, we wait with expectation for the arrival of our Lord, lifting up our hands in search of relief for our parched lives that only God can give.
We thirst for you, O Lord.
Creation thirsts for you as our environment is threatened by natural disasters and human negligence. From Australia we hear news that this year has brought more damage to the Great Barrier Reef than any previous year on record. In Costa Rica, Tropical Storm Otto has caused the deaths of at least 12 people and has left millions of dollars in damage in its wake. Massive landslides have followed unusually heavy rains in Liguria, Italy, destroying homes and towns throughout the region. Bring hope and healing to our world, we pray.
Our relationships thirst for you as fear and mistrust grow among different religious, cultural, and ethnic groups around the world. This week a mosque in California, US, received threatening hate mail; a car bomb in Mogadishu, Somalia, killed or injured at least 27 people; and 11 people were injured on the Ohio State University campus in Ohio, US, by an attacker who used his car and a knife to inflict pain and terror. Bring hope and healing to our common humanity, we pray.
Our bodies thirst for you as disease and injury claim our energy, our hope, and our lives. In Melbourne, Australia, dozens of people have been affected by "thunderstorm asthma," a rare phenomenon caused by strong storms blowing high concentrations of pollen into the air. New outbreaks of a deadly strain of bird flu have been spreading in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands. A train crash in the Semnan province of Iran resulted in the deaths of more than 35 people, and 76 passengers, including members of a Brazilian soccer club, died in a plane crash in Columbia. Bring hope and healing to our fragile lives, we pray.
Our communities thirst for you as financial and political uncertainties grow. Concerns about the stability of currency in India and Zimbabwe have increased anxiety at local, national, and international levels. Political unrest and division continue in the US as a new government administration organizes and prepares to take power. Contentious political elections in France and Austria lend feelings of doubt and insecurity in those countries and abroad. Bring hope and healing to our nations, we pray.
Our spirits thirst for you as our inhumanity towards others is exposed. Claims of torture in Turkish prisons have come to light after the failure of a recent coup. Scandals among leaders in South Korea, Uganda, and Afghanistan breed distrust and damage the bonds of humanity that we share. Thousands of Syrian civilians fleeing Assad's army now have nowhere to seek medical treatment now that the last hospital in eastern Aleppo has been destroyed. Bring hope and healing to our human brokenness, we pray.
God of glory and love, power and compassion, our souls thirst for you as we struggle to find hope in the dry and weary land of this world. Have mercy on us as we cry out to you. Stretch out your arms to meet us as we seek you, and enfold us in your loving embrace. Come quickly, Lord Jesus, and usher in that day when every voice will bless you and call on your name.
World News This Week in Prayer – Thursday, September 1, 2016
In an ancient time, our spiritual forebears were conquered and exiled. And the prophet Jeremiah wrote them a letter about how to deal with their calamities. In the various spirits with which those banished people listened to his letter read out, we open ourselves to you in prayer, O God.
Jeremiah, speaking for you, told the banished people to settle, to build lives and families, to endure and even prosper. "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." (Jeremiah 29:5-7, NIV)
Can we take strength from Jeremiah's letter to welcome the agreement this week of a definitive cease-fire between the Colombian government and the FARC rebels? Can we move beyond our fear that any agreement after such a long time of conflict must be uncertain? God, we pray for the strength to do that. We pray for long memories to remind us that the glamour of war never lasts and leaves too many casualties by the side of its road.
We pray for vision that trusts your plans for each of us and for all your children, plans of hope and a future. Can we take hope from Jeremiah's letter to celebrate the opening of a bridge across the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey? Representatives from countries that have struggled long and hard through generations to achieve independence and respect, countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Bahrain, Northern Cyprus, Serbia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, all lent their prestige to the opening of the bridge. We pray for blessings of peace and mutual understanding. We pray that ancient wrongs that face each other from one end of the bridge to the other may be overcome, if not forgiven. We pray that those who have not experienced those particular wrongs may learn to understand how deeply felt and remembered they are.
We pray with Jeremiah and Jeremiah's audience for the peace of Jarabulus, Syria and the conflict areas along the border between Syria and Turkey. There are reports of dozens of civilians killed, more wounded, and thousands in flight from their homes and their villages. We pray, Lord, for the wisdom that you impart. Teach us to pray for peace and prosperity for all.
As the funeral bells complete their tolling in parts of Italy stricken by earthquake, we pray for courage and restoration of community. For the loss of life in Amatrice, Accumoli, and Pescara del Tronto, we mourn. For the individuals and their communities from the countries of Italy, Romania, the United Kingdom, the United States, Albania, El Salvador, Canada, Spain, and Macedonia already named among the casualties, we mourn. For the world and its loss of cultural heritage, we mourn. It is an awesome natural world in which we live, and we pray for that wisdom from on high that would make it safe.
We are learning about a planet that we are told is in a "habitable zone" around the star closest to our sun. Our minds do not really work with distances of light years; the 4+ light years between our sun and the closest star amount to 25 trillion miles. Yet the ingenuity of scientists and technicians is such that we know that somehow your plans for us include a richer understanding of our own planet and of our own universe. We pray for an endless residence in a house of wonder at this glorious creation in which we live out our days.
Dear loving God, who so well understands that we scarcely know our own plans for ourselves and who yet shares a loving purpose and destiny with us, hear our prayers. Amen.
World News This Week in Prayer – Thursday, July 21, 2016
"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."
― Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, 1986 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and author who fought for peace, human rights and simple human decency, died July 2 in New York at the age of 87.
And because of that, tonight I must write very personally.
This is my heritage. Not only did many of my family die in the Holocaust, but this is my heritage: my awareness that anywhere, everywhere, there is the possibility that friend could turn on friend, neighbor on neighbor, colleague on colleague. That fear could feed on fear, hatred on hatred, tormentor on victim. That good people everywhere could disbelieve, and turn aside, and protect their own – until a maelstrom of evil has wrought unspeakable horror.
And this too is my heritage: the commitment embodied by Elie Wiesel to never forget the Holocaust – and to turn that memory into making sure it never happens again. Not to the Jews, not to Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, Argentina's "disappeared", Cambodian refugees, the Kurds, South African apartheid victims, not to famine victims in Africa – to name just a few of the oppressed for whom he advocated – not to anyone.
It is that commitment that fueled my prayers when I started World in Prayer 15 years ago.
It is that commitment that fuels my prayers today, as I invite you to join me in praying for:
Growing evidence, including research released this past week by Duke University Medical Center (U.S.), that trauma not only affects those who experience it, but changes the genes of their descendants.
The attempted military coup in Turkey, and the Turkish government's "cleansing" countermeasures that have affected more than 50,000 people — judges, civil servants, military, police and others – and most recently included banning travel by all academics.
The death this week of 90-year-old Abdul Sattar Edhi, founder and lifelong leader of a vast public welfare organization in Pakistan, that provided birth to death care to millions through hospitals, homeless shelters, rehab centers, orphanages and ambulances. No one who needed services was ever turned away, regardless of creed, cast, sect or ability to pay.
People in the United Kingdom, where there has been a wave of racist and xenophobic incidents, who have taken to wearing safety pins as a symbol of solidarity with immigrants, a symbol that the wearer is a "safe" person for immigrants to be around.
Israel, which opened a major crossing point between Israel and Gaza this week to allow the transfer of vehicles carrying goods–for the first time in nine years.
A group of Black Lives Matters activists in the United States that chose to hold a barbecue with police, instead of holding a protest demonstration
The 2016 World AIDS conference, held in Durban, South Africa, and described by a friend as the "swirl, conversation, discovery, protest, new networking etc. of 18,000 HIV/AIDS workers from the global effort to stop the epidemic. Commitment, imagination, love, significant, engaged conflicts and disagreement… It's huge good news and testament to human spirit, resourcefulness and goodwill."
Zimbabwe, where the war veterans association, which has played a key and sometimes violent role in supporting the now 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe, has released a statement withdrawing its backing for him, and accusing him of dictatorial tendencies, egocentrism and misrule.
Researchers from Ethiopia and Sweden who jointly discovered that the odor of a live chicken – yes, a chicken! – "significantly reduced" the number of mosquitoes near sleeping test subjects, which may lead to a completely different approach to preventing malaria.
Those in every nation who espouse hatred, violence, oppression; the lone-wolf attackers; the militantly self-righteous and power hungry; the xenophobics; the fear-mongerers and the fearful – all the people we would rather get rid of, than view with sympathy.
Today's young people everywhere, making choices as to who they will be, how they will live, how deeply they dare love the world and everyone in it.
That commitment fuels my prayers every time I celebrate the Eucharist, remembering, in the Christian tradition, that God so loved the world, that he sent his son to live and die among us. Giving thanks, each time I celebrate the Eucharist, for Jesus Christ, for the Elie Wiesels and the Abdul Sattar Edhis, and for so many people of so many faiths who in their own traditions know and embody and teach the ever-living love of God.
"We tell these stories because perhaps we know that not to listen, not to want to know, would lead you to indifference, and indifference is never an answer. Whoever hates, hates everybody. Whoever kills, kills more than his victims." – Elie Wiesel
God, make us story-tellers and memory bearers.
Where there is evil, let us speak out.
Where there is pain, let us heal.
Where there is indifference, give us strength to care.
Where we are divided, draw us together.
Wherever we are, whoever we are, let us love.
–Andee Zetterbaum, founder, World in Prayer
World News This Week in Prayer – Thursday, July 7, 2016
This has been one of those weeks, God…one of those weeks in which too many things have been happening- in my own life and in the lives of the rest of your children throughout the world.
Here in the United States, we are reeling with not one, but two shootings of black men by police officers, seemingly without reason, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. And late this evening comes the news of four police officers killed and at least seven others wounded by two snipers in Dallas, Texas, during a protest against the killings by police in Baton Rouge and Minneapolis. We want to have faith in, to trust those who have been commissioned to "Serve and Protect"; we want to have faith in those who protest the system; but it becomes more and more difficult to do so when, over and over again, that trust has been eroded.
And all we can say, with tears streaming down our faces, and our hearts filled with grief and confusion, is:
Lord, have mercy.
The citizens of Great Britain continue to reel after the Brexit vote, as everyday people wonder what this will mean for their lives, as the British pound is at its lowest level in more than 20 years, as young people wonder how this decision made by their elders will impact their lives in the years to come.
In China, continued severe flooding has impacted thousands, while flooding in the state of West Virginia, U.S., has destroyed countless homes and lives which will have to rebuilt from scratch. And wildfires continue to rage in California, U.S., with hundreds of homes destroyed and thousands fleeing.
The people of Turkey are reeling from the bomb attacks at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, with more than 50 dead and hundreds wounded; while the death toll in suicide bombings in Baghdad, Iraq, has risen to 292.
And all we can say, with tears streaming down our faces, and our hearts willed with grief and confusion, is:
In the midst of all this devastation and heartache is the reality of the plight of refugees worldwide – the millions who have fled their homes because of war, out of fear for their lives, leaving behind everything but what they could carry. Fleeing in the hope that, somewhere, there would be a welcome and a home for them – but often, encountering hate and prejudice and xenophobia at every turn.
And so, in this difficult and painful week, bathe us with your healing balm, we pray. Be with all those who have lost a loved one; those who have lost all their earthly possessions; those who have lost a limb or lost their life. Be with all those who are fighting the fires and floods; those who are reaching out and rescuing, even at the risk of their own lives. Be with those – like us – who are being confronted on every side by things we do not understand but which lay us bare, leave us vulnerable, unable to see the light, even as we look toward you, who is that Light.
Heal us, Gracious God; heal this hurting world. And show us how to BE your light and healing, wherever we are.
Amen and amen
World News This Week in Prayer – Thurs., June 30, 2016
God of the seasons, we thank you for summer. You surround us with evidence of revival, eternal life, abundance, resurrection in every field, every garden, every flower bed, every forest, every vacation spot and swimming hole.
The discovery in Nepal of a tiny but flourishing colony of birds – red-faced liocichla – thought to have been extinct there for the past 178 years
The delight of finding perfectly-preserved, 99 million year old bird-like wings entombed in amber in Burma
The first clear evidence that the thinning in the ozone layer above Antarctica is starting to heal
Amidst the delights of summer are our precious memories of childhood, our bygone days and delightful yesteryears. We dare to echo the hymn:
"All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above!
Then thank the Lord
O thank the Lord
for all his Love."
We acknowledge the gifts, we offer the thanks, we bask in the love.
We give thanks for all who have mourned with Turkey, after this week's suicide gun and bomb attack on Istanbul's airport, that killed 41 and injured 239 more
We give thanks for all who share in the dismay and horror, after Taliban bombers attacked an Afghan police convoy outside Kabul, killing 30 and wounding 50 more
We give thanks for all who give to help the hungry, the homeless, the refugees; for all who band together to help one another in times of trial
We give thanks that Colombia and FARC rebels have signed an historic ceasefire deal to end their 50-year conflict
Our delight is sharpened by our halting awareness that summer's sorrows are equally real. The mysteries and vagaries of weather, the strength of agriculture, the upheavals of society, the cries of injustice, and the wounds of war threaten idyllic summer reverie.
We pray for the 4.8 million South Sudanese facing severe food shortages
We pray for the 24,000 who have fled Boko Haram to take refuge at a camp in Nigeria – only to find it a place stalked by death from starvation and related illnesses
We pray for those unsettled by the passage of the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom, with its implications not only for that nation, but for the European Union
We pray for the forests in California, U.S., where more than 26 million trees have succumbed to drought and pine beetles in the past six months, leaving wide swaths vulnerable to wildfire
Even the inequalities of summer's gifts give us pause. For some there is no break, no bounty, no beach reading, no abundance of crops, no relief, no freedom, no rest, no peace.
As we enjoy this summer season, may our spirits be fertile ground for Your seeds to take root, so that we can grow in compassion, commitment, and deeds worthy of Your name.
World News This Week in Prayer- Thursday, April 7, 2016
He comes to us as One unknown,
without a name, as of old,
by the lakeside, He came to
those men who knew Him not.
He speaks to us the same words:
'Follow thou me!' and sets us
to the tasks which He has to
fulfill for our time. –Albert Schweitzer
You come to us, God, and yet we fail to recognize you, caught as we are in the trials and tribulations, in the sorrows and sins, of this daily life of ours.
You come to us in the rival Christian groups who are working together to save the holy site in Jerusalem described as the Tomb of Jesus.
You come to us in all refugees, in those migrants facing deportation to Turkey from Greece, in the more than 260,000 refugees of various nationalities in Yemen, in those fleeing violence in Honduras and El Salvador and seeking asylum in Mexico. We pray for those fleeing war, abuse, and poverty.
You come to us in those suffering from yellow fever in Kenya and China, in those suffering from curable diseases because they cannot afford the necessary medications.
You come to us in those who are drawn to or pressed into violence and terrorism throughout the world.
You come to us, O God, calling us to be agents of reconciliation, of health and healing, of justice and peace in our world, wherever we may be.
You come to us in neighbor and stranger, in those who look like us and those who look very different from us, in those who speak our language and those whose language sounds so foreign to our ears.
You come to us in the faces and lives of abused women and children, of victims of rape and child marriage and female genital mutilation, of those living year after year in refugee camps, of those who are perpetually hungry and thirsty and see no relief in sight.
You come to us in the voices of those calling for justice- in Burma, in Somalia, in the United States, in Syria, in Palestine, in Afghanistan.
You come to us in the cries of those demanding that their vote count, those demanding integrity on the part of their elected leaders- in England, in Iceland, in Russia, in China.
You come to us in the hopelessness of those living in poverty, wherever they may be, even as they look at the wealth which seems so far out of their reach.
You come to us and we fail to recognize you, caught as we are in our own cycles of self-pity and apathy. Yet you do not give up on us, even as you do not let us off the hook from doing your work in the world. Your voice speaks to us: 'Follow me!'…on paths of justice which may be difficult and even dangerous, on journeys of compassion which may pull from us every ounce of courage and commitment. And you remind us, ever remind us, that we do not walk alone, for you are with us, guiding and guarding, leading and loving. Free us from the fears that bind us, that we may bring new life to the world.
You come to us, O God. May we be open to hearing your voice and to following your lead on this often-difficult journey we call Life. May it truly be so. Amen
World News This Week in Prayer – Thurs., March 18, 2016
Today we begin Holy Week, walking the Via Dolorosa with Jesus of Nazareth…sitting at the table at the Last Supper, watching and waiting in Gethsemane's garden, seeing with horror and dread the arrest and torture and trials, and finally, weeping at the foot of the cross. But today, Gracious God, we begin with his arrival at Jerusalem, riding on a borrowed colt, and surrounded by people praising God loudly:
Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!
And then, as happens so often in our world even today, some of the religious people complained and admonished him, "Rabbi, order your disciples to stop. They're making too much noise. They are offending the religious order. Tell them to stop." And Jesus said to them, "I tell you,
If these were silent, the very stones would shout out.
As we look around our world, O God, your world, as we open our eyes and ears and hearts, we become aware of the many situations which demand our attention, our intervention, our words… so why are we so often silent? Forgetting that Jesus said,
Wars rage, and hopes for peace talks in Syria are dimming. The people of South Sudan continue to live in fear and flee their homes, with little hope of ever returning… yet we remain silent, forgetting that Jesus said,
Everywhere we look, the mistreatment of girls and women continues–in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Turkey, yet some courageous young women in Palestine and the United States and Kenya and Guatemala are using their voices, their spoken word poems, to challenge and confront, to tell the truth, remembering that Jesus said,
Even as we attempt to honor the Prince of Peace, contention seems to be the rule of the political day in so many places, with the people of Great Britain divided about remaining in the European Union, with the people of the United States divided about their choice of candidates in the Presidential primaries, with words being used to foster enmity and hate, separation and exclusion, while so many of us remain silent, forgetting that Jesus said,
And throughout the world, refugees are being treated, not with welcome, but with anger and resentment, as hospitality is pushed aside, replaced by fear of the other. Where is our outrage, O God, as so many of us remain silent, forgetting that Jesus said,
Why do we remain silent, O God? Is it out of fear of what other people will think of us? Is it out of fear for our jobs? Our lives? How do we live out the call of the prophets to "Do justice and love kindness and walk humbly with our God"? Jesus has told us, and his words echo again and again,
Fill us with daring, O God of justice. Fill us with compassion. Fill us with the determination to be the people you have called us to be, to be the Body of Christ in this world. Open our ears to hear the words of Jesus as he says,
So make of us shouting stones, Lord of Mercy and Daring…shouting stones who dare to speak out for those who have no voice, for those forgotten by our world, for those who need someone to speak for them. And let us do it in the name of the One who spoke with his life for us–Jesus the Christ. Amen
World News This Week in Prayer – Thurs., February 18, 2016
World In Prayer needs a few more writers and editors! Our team consists of 12-15 volunteers, from several different countries and continents. Each week, one person writes the prayers in response to international news. A second person then edits and posts the prayers online. Because we rotate who writes and edits, you would end up serving approximately once every five or six weeks.
Due to life changes, some of our team members need to cut back. So, we're looking for people who deeply care about our world, see God's hand at work throughout all creation and all persons, and are inspired to help write and produce these prayers. If you are interested, please send an email to worldinprayer@aol.com.

Into your hands, O God, we commend our spirits.
The spirits of the dead and dying…
The spirits of those full of life.
The spirits of the joyous…
And the spirits of the fearful and uncertain.
The spirits of the lost and lonely…
And the spirits of those enwrapped in and wrapping others in love.
Especially, this week we commend into your hands
the spirits of those bowed down by modern slavery.
In Brazil, where the Ministry of Labor fined 340 Brazilian companies for using slave labor, including in sweatshops producing clothes, in farms, cattle ranches, timber companies, construction and charcoal production.
In Uganda, where a project by the Interior Ministry's anti-human trafficking task force is trying to reach out to poor rural communities vulnerable to child trafficking by promoting literacy and increasing awareness. Children in the target areas are trafficked and forced to work in cattle herding, stone quarrying and brick making, lured into prostitution, abducted to fight in rebel armies, or even used as sacrifices in rituals some Ugandans think bring wealth and power.
the spirits of those rescued from child enslavement, but who still wait years for repatriation.
Due to lack of international coordination between nations to verify victims' identities and trace their places of origin, repatriation can, in some cases, take years. Charities in South Asia are piloting new software which aims to speed up the repatriation of rescued victims of human trafficking who have been smuggled from countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh and forced into slavery in India.
the spirits of those in limbo as they travel far from home, seeking for safety.
The roughly 900 migrants rescued near the Greek island of Lesbos
Refugees from Syria hoping to travel through Austria to claim asylum in Germany – only this week Austria imposed a limit of 80 asylum applications will be accepted each day, and a maximum of 3,200 people will be allowed to travel through the nation.
The European Union has scheduled a special summit with Turkey on the migration crisis in early March
Pope Francis decried the "tragedy" of people who are forced to migrate, as he celebrated Mass in Mexico's Ciudad Juarez city on the border with the United States. He climbed a ramp overlooking the Rio Grande that separates the city and El Paso, Texas, and laid flowers on a cross erected in memory of migrants who died trying to cross to the other side.
the spirits of those who hunger and thirst.
As many as 49 million people in southern Africa could be affected by a drought that has been worsened by the most severe and longest El Nino weather pattern in 35 years, according to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). An estimated 1 million African children are already severely malnourished.
Emergency food aid reached thousands of people uprooted by Boko Haram violence in Chad who had been cut off from help since November. However, the threat of Boko Haram militants and the difficulty in reaching some areas, partly because of the lack of roads, are hindering efforts to reach tens of thousands more people.
Humanitarian aid has also reached the embattled city center of Taiz in Yemen for the first time in months, following negotiations to allow supplies into the area described as being on the brink of famine.
Also this week, 100 truckloads of aid were given to about 100,000 people in five besieged areas of Syria in a U.N.-backed deal to deliver help to thousands of trapped residents. The U.N. estimates there are 486,700 people in around 15 besieged areas of Syria, and 4.6 million people in hard-to-reach areas. In some, starvation deaths and severe malnutrition have been reported.
the spirits of the parents who fear for their unborn children.
As the mosquito-born Zika virus spreads across Latin America, and the number of children born with microcephaly continues to rise
World News This Week In Prayer – Thursday, January 14, 2016
Your love is steadfast, O Lord, but how fickle we are. We are never satisfied. In our dissatisfaction we destroy that which we do not understand and devastate that which satisfies as if there is never enough. Our prayers are prayers of contrast as we recognize political, financial and economic pressures are very different across continents and countries.
Along with the United States of America seeking a solution to refugee crises, we hear of bomb attacks in Istanbul and Diyarbakir, Turkey and in Jakarta, Indonesia; we are not surprised as people struggle to leave these areas.
In severe winter weather in the Middle East, aid agencies are struggling to bring relief to the besieged town of Madaya as well as the villages of Kefraya and Fouaa in Syria, and we read that Israel cuts supplies of natural gas to Gaza.
As people gather to enjoy the World Cup skiing events taking place in Flachau, Austria, we pray for those from France and the Ukraine killed and caught up in the avalanche in Les Deux Alpes, France.
Heavy rain is causing Australia's Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre to fill, a rare event causing the desert to bloom, and we pause with concern for the people of Flint, Michigan in the U.S.A. who have been affected by lead in water.
In Britain the Environment Agency has been ordered to prioritize protecting homes, even when this means loss of livelihood to farmers through flooding farm land. In Tanzania the government started demolishing up to 15,000 homes to clear a valley near Dar es Salaam, where many of those who work in the Kariakoo market live, to allow free flow of water.
We contrast the release of 10 American service members by Iran with the 600 days the Chibok girls have been kidnapped in Nigeria.
We give thanks West Africa has been declared Ebola-free even as we pray for South Sudan struggling with a severe malaria outbreak. We recognize that both these illnesses remain endemic in Africa.
We offer our prayers for ourselves; giving thanks for the wonders of medical science in healing and for the gifts of faith in dying; for the grace of finding somewhere to seek aid, to rest and be sheltered.
We exist both wondering at the beauty of our world and fearing it's power. We pray, failing to compare and contrast the wide range of solutions to the problems of each country and often dooming ourselves to repeat mistakes. "How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your salvation to the upright of heart!" Ps 36:7, 10. Faithful God: this is our prayer for our world.

WORLD NEWS IN PRAYER THURSDAY, October 15 2015
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." –Isaiah 40:31
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not is us. If we confess our sins, the One who is faithful and just will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1: 8-9
"Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt you,
loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain;
hungry and helpless, lost indeed without you,
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign."
–Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith excerpt from
"Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided"
The news is full of incidents of violence from Afghanistan to Turkey, Colombia to Israel and The West Bank, India to Syria, not just in war but also against women, the disabled, and different faith groups; anything that is 'other' from those who have power. This violence shows the depths to which we sink in our humanity. Though made in the image of God, humanity too often lives devoid of his compassion, love, insight and will. So often we rush to judgement on others but ignore the beam in our own eye and life.
Creator and Redeemer of all, we bring the brokenness of this, your world and all its people to you: the homeless, the refugee, those imprisoned and tortured, those without a voice; the powerless and powerful; those without food, medicine, water, or basic shelter and those of us with an obscenity of plenty; all who are suffering in body, mind or spirit; those nearing death, and those who have died.
ALL: Lord have mercy… (silence)
Christ our Savior, sometimes we feel unable to walk with you. We grow faint and exhausted with life. The news of violence, corruption and greed overwhelms and drains us. Sometimes we want to give up. But we do not despair. Instead we join together and give thanks that you do not condemn us, but invite us to come to You seeking forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
God of grace, we may not wish to follow in your steps or be open to your lead. We separate ourselves from your support and healing. Forgive us for all we have done or left undone, all we have said or left unsaid. You call forth eagles to bend wings in adoration. But there are times in life when we are unable to appreciate the gift of your creation in this world or in ourselves.
In the silence of our hearts, we bring to the foot of the cross anything weighing heavily on us today: whether it be personal or for the world – we bring it and we leave it there. (silence)
Spirit of God, when we are weary and tired, unable to soar in the sky of life, we can look only to you for healing, and to be free to be ourselves as created by You, and for your world to be as you would have it be – your will done on earth as it is in heaven.
ALL: Lord, hear our prayer and let it be so. AMEN.

New Zealand's White Island volcano disaster death toll rises to 20 as two missing people confirmed dead
Australian woman Winona Langford has been officially confirmed dead after being missing since the eruption.
The death toll from New Zealand's White Island volcano eruption has risen to 20, as two people still considered missing were officially confirmed dead.
17 Australians have now died as a result of the White Island volcano eruption
Winona Langford is the latest Australian confirmed dead, after both her parents also died in the tragedy
Of the survivors, most of them are still being treated in hospitals for severe burns
The two individuals were 40-year-old New Zealand man Hayden Marshall-Inman and 17-year-old Australian Winona Langford.
"The chief coroner has ruled that both Winona and Hayden died on White Island," John Tims, New Zealand's deputy police commissioner, said in a statement.
Ms Langford, from Sydney, was travelling with parents Kristine and Anthony Langford, who died in the eruption, and her brother Jesse, who is being treated in hospital.
New Zealand police officially called off the search for the pair just before Christmas 2019, and around that time Mr Marshall-Inman's brother posted a tribute on social media, remembering him as a "lovely young man".
From the official tally of 20 deaths, 18 people have died in New Zealand and two in hospitals in Australia. Seventeen of the dead have been confirmed as Australian.
The last man confirmed to have died before Mr Marshall-Inman and Ms Langford was Melbourne man Paul Browitt, who died earlier this month at the Alfred Hospital as a result of the injuries he suffered during the eruption.
Survivors of the disaster, mostly tourists, who were on or near the volcano when it erupted on December 9, are still being treated in hospitals in both countries for severe burns.

Of those 11 Australian citizens and permanent residents are being treated at specialist burns units in Melbourne and Sydney after being transferred in December.
Earlier in January, Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne said she could not go into the details of any other patients, but their treatment would continue for many months to come.
Why White Island volcano erupted with no warning
No matter how irrational it sounds in this age of technology, we don't normally see these eruptions coming, writes Shane Cronin.
"We've been working very closely with New Zealand, the New South Wales Health Department, the Victorian Health Department — doing an extraordinary job for those who are in hospitals here," Ms Payne said at the time.
"This is a response from both of our countries to what was a horrific event, and we wish everyone our very, very best."
Official inquiries into the eruption and New Zealand's response will take up to a year, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said.

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Recap and Review: "Hollywood Quarter-Finals" – Week 2 (Season 6)
By PAMELA HARLAND 07/20/2011
The Hollywood quarter-finals competition continues on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT with the next twelve of the remaining 36 vying for the semi finals. However, it was not an exciting night. In fact, it was rather dull with very few exceptions. This week, just like last week, most couldn't take the heat, easily paving the way for just four to move on to the semi finals with the already four from last week who have made it. Once again, Piers Morgan buzzed four of the 12 acts that, surprisingly, he had something to do with putting through. He is growing ever so […]Read On »
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Recap: First Hollywood Quarter-Finals eliminations
No surprises tonight on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT's top four picks to move onto the semi-finals. The eight acts left behind didn't cut it and sadly, were the right choices to send home. Of the four acts picked only one was picked by the judges, the other three were voted for by the people at home the previous night. First to stay was Snap Boogie, the hip-hop break dancer with tons of charisma and a ginormous amount of talent. Eliminated were Duo Aero, the acrobatic act and The Fearless Flores Family, the motorcycle stunt family that had no where else to […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT- Season 6 – Hollywood Quarter-Finals – "The First 12 Perform"
The real competition on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT began tonight with twelve of the top 48 performing. In this, the first quarter finals, only 4 of those 12 will go onto the semi-finals – eight will go home for good. The talent is good but the choice is actually not a difficult one to make. Most of the acts have overstayed their welcome and although cute and creative to see at first now they just have a "been there, done that" vibe to them. Judge Piers Morgan was fed up with quite a few of the acts. He actually buzzed four […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "Vegas Week" – Top 48 Revealed
Just 17 spots remained to complete the 48 AMERICA'S GOT TALENT finalists moving on to Hollywood for the show's sixth season. The tension was also high as the standbys were ready, well, most of them. There were the usual suspects in attendance: the magicians, the kid acts, the dancers, the dangerous acts and the singers. By the end of the evening over half of them were sent home by Piers Morgan, Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne and the rest were ecstatic jumping for joy. Only two of the five magicians made it through. Without a much needed polished touch, the […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "Vegas Week" – Judges' Favorites
They weren't kidding when they prefaced AMERICA'S GOT TALENT tonight with "Now it gets serious." No kidding around, over 100 acts were summoned to Vegas and then they were categorized by the judges in three unique areas. The first 12 acts immediately picked were told they didn't need to audition again. They were going straight to Hollywood for the next round. Then came the judges' favorites – about 50 performers – who were asked to audition again that night in front of only Piers Morgan, Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne, no audience. Not even Nick Cannon was allowed his comic […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "New York Auditions 2"
Network: NBC, airs whenever the network wants it to air Original Telecast: June 28, 2011 The question keeps coming up over and over again as I sit and watch hundreds of people make fools of themselves on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. Why? Why? Why? Don't these people have loved ones advising them not to go on television and embarrass themselves? I don't get it. Yet, they keep on coming. Many like Rak & Tak, a married couple, both doctors apparently, aspire to be singers. There is one very, very big, humongous, ginormous problem with their dream – they can't hold a […]Read On »
You would think New York – second only to Los Angeles – would have an overabundance of talent to showcase. Not so much. AMERICA'S GOT TALENT proved that with day one of auditions in the Big Apple. We witnessed only five acts get the go ahead to Las Vegas. Five! So many were so bad that we didn't even get to see Piers Morgan buzz them right off the stage. You could just tell with a few brief seconds peek into their acts that they weren't going anywhere except home! The Triple Threat – named because they supposedly could sing, […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "Seattle Auditions 2"
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT's second time around in Seattle almost turned into a complete bust. Act after act disappointed not only the judges and the live audience but likely those watching at home as well. No one seemed worthy of a trip to Vegas, certainly not the "self proclaimed" world record holder of blowing up water bottles – his act was a complete bust. Buffo the priest didn't hold up much better with his illusionist act, nor did "Kimo presents Madonna" – don't ask. Don't these people have friends to tell them not to go on TV and make fools of […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "Minneapolis Auditions"
Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 8, 2011 At first it seems like another joke Howie Mandel is playing on Piers Morgan. AMERICA'S GOT TALENT is about to start and there is no Morgan anywhere. Maybe Mandel has locked him in his dressing room? Or perhaps he gave him the wrong directions to the theater. Nope, none of that, but wouldn't that have been hilarious? Well, not to Morgan I suppose, instead the truth is because of bad weather Morgan's flight was delayed from New York and he wasn't able to make the start of the show. As […]Read On »
TV Review: AMERICA'S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – "Houston Auditions"
By PAMELA HARLAND
Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 8, 2011 AMERICA'S GOT TALENT heads down south to Houston, Texas where many a talented act performed and got a pass to Las Vegas. Shockingly judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel seemed to agree on almost every act during the first half of a two-hour installment. There wasn't much tension going on between Morgan and Mandel (Mandel usually can't get enough of razzing Morgan). They were harmonious in their decision to send through The Rhinestone Roping knife throwing act, The Mona Lisa singing duo, a glow in the dark juggler […]Read On »

Q: Cannot Set Foreground For TextBox in DataTemplate in WPF I am trying to set the Foreground property for a TextBox specified in a DataTemplate but the call doesn't work.
I have a UserControl with the following XAML:
<UserControl x:Class="TextBoxColourTest.TextFrameControl"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
             mc:Ignorable="d"
             xmlns:clrtest="clr-namespace:TextBoxColourTest"
             d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">

    <UserControl.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="EditModeTemplate">
            <TextBox Text="Hello"></TextBox>
        </DataTemplate>

        <Style TargetType="{x:Type clrtest:TextFrameControl}">
            <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource EditModeTemplate}"></Setter>
        </Style>

    </UserControl.Resources>

</UserControl>

Then I have some XAML that makes use of the TextFrameControl:
<Window x:Class="TextBoxColourTest.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:textBoxColourTest="clr-namespace:TextBoxColourTest"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel>
            <textBoxColourTest:TextFrameControl x:Name="TextFrameControl"></textBoxColourTest:TextFrameControl>
            <Button Content="Red" Click="OnMouseUpRed"></Button>
            <Button Content="Green" Click="OnMouseUpGreen"></Button>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Then finally the code behind where I have event handlers for the buttons to change the foreground color:
    namespace TextBoxColourTest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void OnMouseUpRed(object sender, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs)
        {
            TextFrameControl.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
        }

        private void OnMouseUpGreen(object sender, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs)
        {
            TextFrameControl.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);
        }
    }
}

When one of the color buttons is clicked then the foreground color does not change.
If I change the code so that I can alter the value of the font family or font size properties then that does work. Also, I've found that if I replace the TextBox with a TextBlock then the color does change.

A: Bind the Foreground property of the TextBox to that of the UserControl:
<DataTemplate x:Key="EditModeTemplate">
    <TextBox Text="Hello"
        Foreground="{Binding Foreground,
                     RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl}}"/>
</DataTemplate>

NZXT Paints H440 Black With Blue, Green or Orange Accents
By Niels Broekhuijsen published 2 May 14
NZXT's popular H440 enclosure is now available in more color options.
It didn't take long after the release of the NZXT H440 enclosure to gain massive popularity; however, one complaint that kept coming back was that it was only available in white with black accents.
NZXT has answered that calling and revealed that there are now three more versions of the enclosure: black with blue accents, black with green accents, and black with orange accents.
The NZXT H440 enclosure, at first sight, will appear like a standard ATX enclosure, but it's actually a little different. The biggest difference between any other ATX enclosure and NZXT's H440 is that the H440 lacks optical drive bays, making for a very clean and modern aesthetic. It also has a side panel with a big window as well as a PSU area that's covered up to hide a lot of cable clutter.
Unfortunately, these cases are not set to go on sale through normal retail channels. Instead, the black version with blue accents will only be available through the NZXT Armory store, the black version with green accents will only be available through Microcenter, and the black version with orange accents will only be available through NewEgg. All of them will be priced at $119. Whether the cases will drip into all the usual retail channels remains unknown.

Crusty French Bread Recipe
Kristen Carli/Mashed
By Kristen Carli AND Mashed Staff/Aug. 3, 2021 10:04 am EST
Take a few seconds and think about this one: Is there any better food than bread? We're not talking about pizza or a sandwich or a cheeseburger or some dish with multiple components here (though note that bread is the base for all of those anyway), but rather about one single, basic type of food. It's hard to beat this ancient favorite, a food human beings have been enjoying since the earliest days of cooking and cultivation, and for good reason: Bread is awesome.
But despite the fact that humans have been enjoying bread for at least 14,000 years, according to the BBC, many people are still wary of making the stuff, thinking it's complicated, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong. And look, if you're setting out to make a perfect marbled rye or brioche or whatnot, it can be. But on the other hand, you can create delectable loaves with all of 15 minutes of hands-on work, a bit of patient waiting, and a relatively short baking period — you just need to try this Dutch oven-baked bread recipe from recipe developer Kristen Carli.
This recipe yields a classic, versatile loaf that you will want to make again and again. Carli says: "I love eating my avocado toast on this bread with a little salt and cayenne pepper. This is also a great bread to serve with soup for dipping." Or use it for sandwiches, as a side with dinner, or to slice and use for easy French bread pizza.
Gather your ingredients for crusty French bread
Maybe one of the reasons bread is such a popular, age-old food is its simplicity in terms of ingredients. And bakers today, unlike bakers of ages past, have yeast handy from the store, so there's no guesswork involved, either.
For this loaf, all you need is some active dry yeast (one packet or, if you have a jar, use two and a quarter teaspoons), some warm water, a bit of sugar, some salt, and some flour. As for hardware, you need a stand mixer and a Dutch oven, along with your actual oven in which you'll do the baking. And that's it!
Make the dough, then wait a while
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, the warm (not hot!) water, and the sugar. Stir these gently, just a couple of times, then let them sit and allow the yeast to foam up for about five minutes.
Next, after that pause, add the flour and the salt. Now, using the mixer's dough hook attachment, mix the ingredients for 10 minutes. "I would make sure that you allow the dough to knead in the stand mixer for 10 minutes so that the gluten develops and the dough starts to peel away from the bowl," notes Carli.
Then remove the bowl from the stand mixer and cover it with a dish towel, leaving it at room temperature for one hour to rise.
Rest the dough again, then get ready to bake
After that hour of rising, go ahead and preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, remove the towel from the stand mixer and gently turn out the dough, then form it into a ball and set it on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough ball with a clean dish towel and leave it to rise for a second time for 30 minutes.
Now remove the towel and carefully pick up parchment paper. Ease the dough down into place in the middle of the Dutch oven. Your hands-on work is now done.
Bake the bread, then enjoy
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid, pop it into the preheated oven, and let it bake for 30 minutes. Then open the oven, carefully remove the lid from the Dutch oven within, and continue to bake the loaf for 10 more minutes.
Now get the Dutch oven out of the oven, carefully remove the freshly baked loaf, and let it rest for 10 or 15 minutes to cool. Now enjoy! And not that there's any way it will last this long, but Carli says: "This keeps best in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to seven days."
