When Catherine Deneuve first met Yves Saint Laurent, she was 22 years old and about to be introduced to the Queen of England. She had famously selected Saint Laurent to dress her for the occasion, and this marked the beginning of an enduring friendship and a relationship which lasted for decades. In January, during Haute Couture Fashion Week, Christie's will be offering the sale of Deneuve's wardrobe created by the late designer, a collection which testifies of this iconic friendship. It includes of such emblematic pieces as evening dresses worn by the French actress in Cannes, Hollywood, Venice; trench coats; and example of Saint Laurent's black smokings, which Deneuve was the first to wear. For the occasion of the sale, she recalls the moment of their meeting: "In 1965, I was invited to be presented to Queen Elizabeth II and my husband David Bailey, a fashion photographer, suggested that I ask Yves Saint Laurent for an evening dress; I arrived at Rue Spontini with a photo from the Russian Collection from the previous year which he agreed to create for me." From that moment on, Saint Laurent had become her favorite designer and she was his muse. He kept designing for her until his last show in 2002. What a great moment to take home a piece of fashion history. Images: ©Christie's Images Ltd, 2018, and the images of Catherine Deneuve are to be credited to ©Jean-Luce Huré.


In November 2016 I had the pleasure to try out the Emirates Business Class on the Airbus A380. It is one of my favorite planes to fly on as it is offering much more space and comfort than other planes.
My flight took me from Düsseldorf to Dubai, which is a short overnight flight leaving Düsseldorf at 9:30pm and arriving in Dubai around 5:30am.
Enough time to get an impression of the A380, as I already knew their Boeing 777. But the Airbus is playing another league. The seats are offering much more privacy, especially when you are sitting in a window seat without a neighbor. You can choose from sitting closer by the window or aisle.
I arrived a bit late at the airport, which didn't really cause any trouble. The Emirates flight to Dubai is one of the last flights of the day, as there are night time restrictions in Düsseldorf after 10pm. So queues at security or passport checks are not an issue.
The boarding process was a bit chaotic, as there were already all Economy passengers waiting in a long line in front of the gate blocking the second boarding area for First and Business Class passengers. But overall it was a fast and well organized process. The staff were really doing their best.
I made my way to seat 19J in the Upper Deck. The Emirates crew welcomed me with a bowl of nuts and a glass of orange juice (as I don't dring Champagne). It felt very personal, both flight attendants introduced themselves with names.
Preparations for Dinner started right after take off as this will be a short overnight flight. The menu offered was a choice of mushroom soup, tuna or Bresaola as starter and a choice of beef tenderloin, grilled black cod or chicken machbous as main course.
My choice was obviously the chicken machbous, which was very tasty. It is a rice dish with chicken, slow cooked and with wonderful Arab spices.
It was followed by a choice of several dessert. I only tried the cheese plate, which was very good. Then I had to get some sleep. It would be a very short night for me. The bed was made for me by one flight attendant, the seat got even equipped with an extra padding and I was offered blankets and pillows. I really had the feeling, that everything was well taken care of.
The entertainment system is one of the best on the market. They offer a really wide range of movies including the latest releases. Some of the movies are even offered in other languages, such as French or German. In Business Class you will receive a set of noise cancelling headphones. But the A380 is very quiet anyway.
My arrival in Dubai was very early. I would leave in the late afternoon so I went to catch some more sleep after my arrival before I continue. Going through security at Dubai Airport was very easy as I was equipped with a voucher for the express lane.
And yes, I did visit the famous bar in the rear of the plane to get another drink and to have a look around. A very nice place to stretch legs and to socialize. But as it was a late evening flight I preferred to go back to my seat. I didn't even take my camera with me.
Emirates Business Class is offering a great product. Their seats are one of the best in market and offer some really nice features. Also the food and their service are great. They really take care of everything to give you a great Experience.


The sun can get pretty strong in late Spring, around April and May, so we'd recommend staying out of the sun during the peak hours of the day during those months and coming on a tour either earlier or later on in the day. This is the perfect time of the year for our famous Sunset Session tour to Los Arcos.
We love the live giving rains of summer! The mountains and islands of Los Arcos turn a lush verdant green. And the tropical storms that grace our skies during these months—those really a sight to behold!
But with this summer weather comes a tendency for unreliable climate, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. If your visit is during the summer, we'd recommend booking an early A.M. Sunrise Session or our first morning Snorkel Adventure.
If you really can't live without a Sunset Session, please refer to our policies on climate and weather issues just in case the weather decides to go south.
See you on a paddle soon!

SINGAPORE - Profits at Singapore Airlines plunged in the second quarter amid a sluggish global economy.
Earnings in the three months to end-September fell by almost 70 per cent to $64.9 million compared to the same quarter last year, the airline reported on Thursday.
Group operating profit in the three months declined $20 million or by 15.5 per cent to $109 million, as the $174 million fall in expenditure was insufficient to cushion the $194 million reduction in revenue.
Most companies in the group recorded weaker operating profits except for Scoot and Tigerair which registered improvements year-on-year as the low-cost carriers continued to perform better on the back of an extended network and reduced operating expenditure.
Bolstered by a stronger first quarter, profits for the first half of the current financial year increased 5.6 per cent to $322 million compared with the same April to September period last year.
Operating profits grew 25.8 per cent to $302 million even as revenues dipped by 3.6 per cent to $7.3 billion.
Spending in the six months fell 4.6 per cent to about $7 billion.
SIA has declared an interim dividend of nine cents per share, down by a cent compared to the same period last year.
Looking ahead, the airline said the business continues to be impacted by geopolitical uncertainty and weak global economic conditions with the outlook in most major economies remaining tepid.
"Furthermore, excess capacity and aggressive pricing continue to persist in the market, exerting pressure on loads and yields" SIA said.
The outlook for the cargo business also remains challenging as yields are expected to stay under pressure due to overcapacity in the air cargo industry.
Efforts will continue to be focused on higher-yielding product segments to improve the overall traffic mix.
Fuel prices also remain volatile.
SIA will remain nimble and flexible, leveraging its portfolio of airlines to cater to demand in different travel markets, while maintaining cost vigilance, the carrier said.
The improved operating capability and efficiency of the growing Airbus A350 fleet is enabling the launch of previously unserved new routes, while the deep integration between Scoot and Tiger Airways continues to provide cost efficiencies and opportunities to enhance network connectivity.
Both the full-service and low-cost airline segments are boosting the group's competitiveness and are offering new opportunities for expansion.

OUR MASTERS – SHOW2018 X NICOLAS KARAKATSANIS
David Flamee2018-06-02T14:55:28+01:00June 2nd, 2018|
For OUR MASTERS, the magazine of the Fashion Department for SHOW2018 we are proud proud to have collaborated with Nicolas Karakatsanis.
Extraordinary Belgian photographer Karakatsanis is arguably the best cinematographer of his generation (the Oscar-nominated 'I, Tonya' and 'Rundskop/Bullhead'; 'The Drop' with James Gandolfini; 'Triple 9' with Kate Winslet and Woody Harrelson… the list goes on). He's also fiercely protective of his work and approaches it like a master painter would. The series of unique images he produces for his solo photography exhibitions are only viewable for the public intra – gallery – muros before moving on to grace the walls of private collectors and art buyers around the world. Nicolas doesn't do ‹print series› and admits to opposing the disposability of images and our seemingly insatiable thirst for them via an endless stream of social media. This aversion seems to stem from a devotional respect for whichever medium he's favouring at the moment. His ardour speaks through every image he makes, each one filtered through a lyrical gaze but simultaneously the result of an analytical mind with a firm grasp on his subjects. Not the only reason why every Karakatsanis feels otherworldly.
Taking time with one of his works feels like an invitation to indulge senses you've just been able to unlock. Nicolas Karakatsanis is a generous giant, as you can see from the way this publication is power-packed with his imagery. His all-in character speaks in many more ways: he will not sidestep previously agreed upon engagements for seemingly ca- reer-changing opportunities that happen to pop up (just in the last twenty four months he had to pass on 'Black Mirror', a JAY-Z short film and 'Call Me By Your Name'). For SHOW2018 Magazine, the artist has brought some- thing new to fashion photography: an eye that scans for a full picture as opposed to a tunnel view on what has been long-established as editorial. As frequent collabora- tor, Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp alum and fash- ion world legend Willy Vanderperre, has previously put it: "It's all about susceptibility and sensitivity, Nicolas always understands where to go."
They gave you damn near the entire magazine to fill out.
(laughs) I know! It's very flattering of course. But I still want it to be done well, so it's not just content being shoved in. At first I was only shooting the Masters' collec- tions, which I thought meant I was photographing one look per student, but it turned out to be three in most cases, and then detailed shots and mood shots. Then Manon Kündig, the producer of the magazine and stylist of the shoot, asked me if I could do the students' por- traits as well. Honestly, I thought it was a bit much and I wanted to pass on the portraits, but Leo, my boyfriend, convinced me to accept. I'm glad I did, although I did reach a point where I wasn't sure if I was still having fun or not. Looking back it was worth it and I'm grateful that Walter Van Beirendonck, Manon and the school trusted me to take this on.
This is the third Antwerp Fashion Department magazine I worked on as a writer and every start-up meeting I brought up your name when the staff was asking around for "one more great photographer". The first time, I don't think anyone was listening, because most of them had no clue who I was. The second year I mentioned you again and got to show Walter and Dirk Van Saene some of your work, which they immediate- ly liked, but then it didn't happen because you were on a movie set somewhere. Cue 2018 and here we are. I think it's the first time in a while only one photographer is being featured in the magazine, so I really feel it was meant to happen this way.
I was slightly apprehensive at first. The images should serve the students and support their universe. Accentuate their world. Another concern for me was that it would start to feel like factory work, just churning out pictures. In the end we took three thousand images over the course of three days. I was set on shooting on location because I figured it would become boring to just work in a studio. So we shot at a Byzantine church in Brussels both inside and in its great garden, at a prop house in Mortsel and we also headed for its woods next door.
How did you adhere to a common thread while shooting the collections?
That was one of the main questions I asked myself: am I doing my blurred-out style or am I doing as I see fit in the moment and have some images come out blurred and other ones come out sharp as we go along? In the end I decided to do whatever I wanted and have the lighting bind everything together.
When Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk Van Saene saw the final product, they loved it, but they wondered if you do a lot in post-production.
No, I don't. I fidget a bit with lighting and colours but there is no retouching. It's a good thing I work like that, because for this amount of images it would have otherwise taken ages to finish.

Superman & Lois S02 Trailer: Clark Must Choose: Family or The World
The Flash "Armageddon" wasn't the only thing making news throughout the Arrowverse on Tuesday night, with The CW releasing an official trailer for the second season of the Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch-starring Superman & Lois. And the biggest takeaways are obvious, as Lois (Tulloch) deals with some personal issues that look to be dividing her and Clark (Hoechlin) more and more. Meanwhile, Clark is apparently forced to choose between being a hero for America and being a hero for the world. And that's just the tip of the Fortress of Solitude. See what we did there? Because the Fortress of Solitude is big and icy and… never mind. Moving on…

With the series set to leap tall, intense storylines in a single bound starting January 11th, here's a look at a new trailer for the second season of The CW's Superman & Lois:

But even when I buy organic basil... Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 174 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow , the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.... How to store basil in winter Usually, basil is used fresh and it's added at the end of cooking, because the boiling or frying makes basil lose its flavor. But very often the dry version is also used, although dry basil is not as tasty and strong in flavor.
** Basil can be a bit high maintenance to revive & store- if it's exposed to cold water for too long, the leaves will turn black. Shock the leaves (not soak) for about 1-2 minutes, or just enough to perk them up.... Some crops, such as basil and tomatoes, need to be kept out of the refrigerator to ma intain optimum freshness. Basil leaves will quickly turn shriveled and brown if stored bare in the refrigerator.
Read the Best way to keep fresh basil? discussion from the Chowhound General Discussion, Basil food community. Join the discussion today. Join the discussion today. Chowhound Presents: Table Talk with Tanya Steel of Food Fight!
I always put my fresh basil in the freezer after buying it. As long as you store it properly (mostly in a ziplock after squeezing out the air), it can keep for quite a long time without freezerburning.
I keep fresh herbs from my garden in pretty small vases on my counter all summer. Sometimes they develop roots and last a very long time. Cold seems to really hurt basil.

It's kind of hard to motivate myself to spend time in front of the computer after spending all day in front of the computer. You may have noticed that my content comes in fits and spurts--nothing for a week, and then four or five things in a day. I'm trying to be more diligent, but it's kind of hit or miss.
In retrospect, I probably should have called it something else.
In which Sig muses on domain names, site names, and search terms.
Yes, I'm still alive. And I'm working on relatively thoughtful post, but it's not coming together quite right, so you'll have to wait. Chill.
I was officially promoted yesterday; my CO from Afghanistan came in from his civilian job to do the honors. SSG Smallville is back from Korea and was on hand to stick me with the velcro SGT rank that I'd been carrying around in my pocket ever since he was promoted (from SGT to SSG) last summer.
My first official duty as a noncommissioned officer in the United States Army National Guard was to do the dishes. They needed doing. May I always find and do the tasks that need doing.
Wow, no updates for five days. That's got to be some sort of record since I've been home.
In which several PDA-friendly solutions are floated, a new system of classification is implemented, and a hamster dies.
In which SigSpace becomes newer and prettier.
Job fairs are for pathetic losers.
Not a lot jumped out as far as job opportunities, though we had fun trying to figure out what some of the companies do. As with my father-in-law's business, the descriptions and names are so vague and bland that I can only conclude that they are fronting for the mafia. Try getting them to admit it, though.
For example, I was going to write a post about going to the range with my new rifle yesterday--would that go under weapons (military), weapons (entertainment), or even family (in-laws)? Or maybe even Soviet history (military), since it's a 1938 combat rifle from the Soviet Union?
Part of the problem with being disconnected is that you spend a lot of time thinking about the things you will do when you are connected again--people you will see, stuff you will do, website updates you will write. Then you get connected and you can't remember any of that crap, so you sort of wander around the house in a daze, drinking coffee. Or, if you're trying to cut down on your caffeine intake on the recommendation of the counselor (who assured me that my anger is healthy and normal), you think about drinking coffee all day long.


We recently did an article called "Climbing Giants" about Garth's experience climbing an ancient redwood tree. The article included a link to some cool pictures of the climb on Tree Climbing Planet's Facebook page.
Now we've got the video. Enjoy!
Lovely video and narration. I look forward to reading the book!
I'm sure it was a breathtaking view!

Ofelia K may be a new name popping up on your Spotify Discover Weekly and New Music Friday's, but she isn't new to music by any means. She is a singer whose artistry spins on a luminous axis of voice and soul; and over the last few years we've seen her earn four #1's on Hype Machine's Popular chart; twice as the vocalist of indie-pop duo Wanderhouse, singing on EDM producer Felix Cartel's "New Scene" (which Billboard named "one of the best dance recordings of the year" in 2013), and the latest #1 featuring on two of EDM's top producer's, Kaskade & Felix Cartel's "Fakin' It" released May this year. She's opened for nationally touring bands and has had a number of her songs featured across prime-time television.
Reintroducing Ofelia K.'s voice to the world was her "White T-Shirt" off of her Plastic Flower EP (2015) which put her in everyone's ears. She didn't stop there and followed that release up with 'As A Bell' getting over 2 Million Plays, and an even more brilliant start to 2016 with songs like 'Cinco', 'Bad Boys', and her latest single 'I Love My Lawyer' landing on Spotify's New Music Friday Playlists and garnishing hundreds of thousands of streams each.

Bamboo charcoal is a high quality, eco-friendly product. Produced without chemical processes, it is a beautiful and versatile material which is sustainable and leaves no waste, and is ideal as a natural water filter.
Our charcoal is made in Japan in clay kilns using traditional methods that draw on the wisdom of ages past and we are excited to make this wonderful material and all its benefits available to more people.
I founded the Charcoal People in 2007, initially selling bamboo charcoal natural water filters. Like many businesses it came out of personal experience: for some time we had been using bamboo charcoal at home to filter our tap water and one day, perhaps inevitably, I thought why not introduce it to the market?
Some say it was my mid-life crisis, but I insist it was a brainwave and a moment of inspiration. Whatever the true motivation, ten years on, as the Charcoal People's customer base steadily grows, I am pretty pleased that we are offering something that is old, yet new, a forgotten art and a beautiful thing.
Charcoal is very versatile. Its benefits are not limited to filtering water. It does some amazing things very quietly without shouting about its abilities. I love its modesty and simplicity. In the coming months we plan to add more exciting and intriguing charcoal products, so watch this space!

Q: text generation using markov chains in R i'm trying to apply markov chains algorithm for a simple text generation and i found a code from internet and made changes to fit my data as follows
library(markovchain)
library(tidyverse)
library(tidytext)
library(stringr)
#use readLines to read any text file
text <- readLines('example.txt')
#check few lines of our text file
head(text)

> head(text)
[1] "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" ""                    "By Jane Austen"      ""
[5] ""                    ""

#seperate the texts i.e sentences
text <- text[nchar(text) > 0]
head(text)
#removing all punctuations in the texts
text <- str_replace_all(text, "[[:punct:]]", "")
head(text)

> head(text)
[1] "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE"
[2] "By Jane Austen"
[3] "Chapter 1"
[4] "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession"
[5] "of a good fortune must be in want of a wife"
[6] "However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his"

#splitting the text into terms
terms <- unlist(strsplit(text, ' '))
head(terms)

> head(terms)
[1] "PRIDE"     "AND"       "PREJUDICE" "By"        "Jane"      "Austen"

#creates the states for each term to fit in a the current satate and next state
    fit <- markovchainFit(data = terms)

#plot(fit$estimate)
#paste(markovchainSequence(n=50, markovchain=fit$estimate), collapse=' ')
#s <- createSequenceMatrix(terms, sanitize=FALSE)
#fit2 <- fitHigherOrder(s)

#create new variable initially as a empty
new1 <- NULL
# generate new lines by varying the number for i as desired and
for(i in 1:1000){
  new1 <- c(new1,
              c(paste(markovchainSequence(n=6, markovchain=fit$estimate), collapse=' ')))
}

# Check out the first few lines
head(new1)
# save our titles to a .txt file
write(new1, "new_example2.txt")

here when we create a sequence of sentences with the desired number of terms in each. can anyone please help me understand how the markovchainSequence is randomly choosing its first term in a sentence?
is there a way to give a first term as a user input term and generate a sequence following it?

A: I'm not sure to understand your question, but here is an example of usage of the markovchain package where one sets the initial value.
# define the states
words <- c("hello", "how", "are", "you")

# define the transition matrix (each row sums to 1)
transitions <-  rbind(c(0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4),
                      c(0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4),
                      c(0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4),
                      c(0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4))
rownames(transitions) <- colnames(transitions) <- words

# define a markovchain object
library(markovchain)
markovChain <- new("markovchain", states=words,
                   transitionMatrix = transitions)

# sample from the Markov chain
# initial value given by t0
markovchainSequence(10, markovChain, t0="how")
# output: "how" "hello" "are" "are" "are" "hello" "you" "are" "you" "you"

Bayview on the Park
This house is located on Wilket Street in Toronto. Its life is short however because it's destined to become the site of 7 new townhouses named Bayview on the Park. The three-storey townhouses will be for sale starting at $3,000,000. On January 18, 2016 the Ontario Municipal Board ruled that the developer could proceed with plans to build after the City of Toronto stalled on making a decision.For now this house sits untouched, with working electricity.

Orange crinkle cookies or Indian shortbread biscuits or nankhatai.
This week's our #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is #fusion recipe. And my contribution is this super yummy crispy orange cookies.
Fusion cooking allows us to mix and match ingredients cooking style and recipes. And come up with a new and more delicious dish.
Nankhatai is Indian shortbread biscuits popular in India and Pakistan. The word Nankhatai is derived from Persian word Naan meaning bread and Khatai from an Afghan word meaning Biscuit. These nankhatai are known for it's divine taste and melt in mouth texture.
Crinkle cookies are coated with powdered sugar and while baking they puff up and crackle. So these cookies are called crinkle cookies.
And here is a mix match of orange crinkle cookies and nanakhatai or Indian short bread.
Grind the oats and mix with flour. I have used 1/2 cup all purpose flour/maida and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or atta. You can use only whole wheat flour/atta or only all purpose flour/maida too.
Grate the orange peel for orange zest. Be careful while grating. Grate only the orange part and not the white pith. Because white pith is bitter in taste.
Grind the cashew nuts and keep aside.
Cream together clarified butter/ghee or butter. I have used ghee or clarified butter. You can use butter if you like. Mix orange zest and half of the orange juice. Beat well.
Add oats powder mixed flour, baking powder, soda and ground cashew nuts.
Make a smooth dough with remaining orange juice. Mix orange juice gradually.
Dough will be soft and sticky. Keep the dough in refrigerator for 10 – 15 minutes.
Spread powdered sugar on a plate.
Make small balls out of the dough, roll on powdered sugar and place on baking tray 1 to 2 inch apart. Keep the tray in refrigerator again for 10 – 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180° for 10 minutes.
Take out the baking tray from refrigerator.
Roll the balls on powdered sugar again. Press gently on powdered sugar. Place the balls on baking tray 1 – 2 inch distance.
Cookies will expand so don't forget to keep distance.
Bake at preheated oven at 180° for 15 – 20 minutes. Or until the edges becomes light brown. Every oven takes different time so check after 10 minutes.
Let the cookies cool down before serving. Cookies will be soft when hot but they will turn crisp as they cool down. Store in an airtight container for later use.
Enjoy the divine taste. Serve with tea or coffee or satisfy your sudden hunger pangs.
I would love to hear from you. Please give your feedback if you like the recipe.
Its a colonial recipe from the days of the British. Unfortunately dak bungalow cuisine is a near forgotten culinary treasure. Dak bungalows were the rest houses of Calcutta where the British officers used to take rest on journey. Or used as a night stay during hunting trip. In these dak bungalows or rest houses a khansama or orderly used to handle the kitchen. They generally used their own chicken or goat or the animals killed in hunting to serve the officers.
The recipe is different from one dak bungalow to other depending on the availability of ingredients.
Dak bungalow chicken curry comes with whole boiled and fried eggs and potatoes in it and freshly ground spices.
A very flavourful dish which needs only two steps marinade and then cook. The original recipe of chicken dak bungalow was chicken roast. Which is very light on spices and could be cooked with minimal ingredients and shortest of time. But these days chicken dak bungalow is much spicier and with more gravy.
I have made this chicken dak bungalow in my own way. Generally coriander powder is used in it but I have used cumin powder in it. You can use coriander powder if you like.
I have made a rich and spicier version of chicken dak bungalow.
Marinate the chicken pieces with salt, mustard oil, turmeric powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, chilli powder, pepper powder, garam masala powder and curd. Keep it in refrigerator for 1 – 2 hour or overnight.
Finely chop 2 onions. Make a paste of remaining 2 onions, ginger and garlic. Keep it aside.
Grind the tomatoes with green chillies, cardamom, mace, cloves and cinnamon. You can use the whole spices in tempering too.
Peel the boiled eggs and pierce with a knife. Marinate with salt and turmeric powder and keep aside. I didn't use potatoes but if you are using potatoes peel and marinate some whole small potatoes or chopped large potatoes with salt and turmeric powder. Fry the potatoes and eggs separately and keep aside.
Heat mustard oil in a nonstick pan. Fry the marinated chicken pieces and keep aside.
In the same oil add the chopped onion and sugar. Fry till the onion becomes brown. Add the onion, garlic and ginger paste. Saute till oil leaves the sides.
Now add the tomato, green chilli, cardamom, mace or javitri, cinnamon and cloves paste. Saute and add salt cumin powder, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, turmeric powder. Saute till oil leaves the sides.
Now add the fried chicken pieces. Mix well.
Add remaining spices of marination and water as require to make gravy. Add the fried potatoes and eggs. Cover and cook until the chicken and potatoes are becomes soft.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle garam masala powder and switch off the flame.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced onions and green chilli.
Serve hot with steamed rice, roti or Indian flat bread, paratha, puri or luchi.
A delicious Mexican dish enchilada is a corn tortilla stuffed with variety of ingredients like cheese, potatoes, vegetables , meat, beans etc and covered with a chili pepper sauce. The word comes from enchilar which means add chilli peppers to something. A spicy and super yummy breakfast dish.
Our #Foodiemonday #bloghop theme is #Enchilada. So here is an easiest enchilada recipe with a twist.
Most enchilada recipes call for corn tortillas. But I have used eggs to make the wraps. And very happy with the result. Its thin omelet stuffed with spicy potato and egg mixture. Covered with a delicious sauce.
Crush or finely chop the garlic and green chilli.
Roast the capsicum on high flame with the help of a knife or fork until it's skin becomes lightly black. Wash and remove the black skin. Now chop the capsicum, tomatoes and boiled egg.
Peel and cubed the potatoes. Boil or microwave with little water for 6 – 7 minutes. Drain the water and keep aside.
Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Add garlic and green chilli. Fry till the raw smell goes away or garlic becomes light brown.
Add chopped scallion and cubed, boiled potatoes. Mix well and add the chopped capsicum, tomato and egg. Stir and add salt, red chilli powder, oregano, cumin powder and black pepper powder.
Saute till the mixture dried up completely. Add chopped cilantro, tomato sauce and 2 tablespoon enchilada sauce mix well and switch off the flame. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Keep the mixture aside.
Beat the eggs with salt and black pepper powder. Make 4 omelets with it. Fill the potato stuffing. Spread the mixture middle of a omelet, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or processed cheese and little oregano over it, then wrap the left side over and then the right. Make wraps like this with all the omelets.
Grind the tomatoes and keep aside.
Heat oil on medium heat. Add flour, cumin powder, oregano, red chilli powder, salt and black pepper powder. Stir continuously. Saute for a minute or till fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and garlic paste. Saute till the mixture dried up. Now add tomato sauce and water and stir continuously to remove the lumps. Let it boil on low flame for 7 – 8 minutes or until the mixture thickened. Add the chopped cilantro and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Mix well and switch off the flame. Taste and adjust the seasoning. I have added 1 teaspoon vinegar and black pepper powder more. Adjust as require.
preheat the oven at 200°. Spread some enchilada sauce on a baking pan. Place the stuffed omelets over it. Place the omelette seam side down. Pour sauce over them. Sprinkle mozerella cheese and chopped scallion over it. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until the sauce starts bubbling and cheese becomes light brown.
If you have corn tortillas you can use them instead of omelets if you like.
Stuffing and sauce can be made a day before and refrigerate for convenience.
Tomato cilantro egg drop soup.
A power packed soup for glowing skin and the overall health of our bodies.
Winter is knocking at the door. So our this week's #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is #Soup. My contribution is this delicious soup to stay warm and nourished in this cold season.
Some soups are not so healthy and unsuitable for diabetics because of lots of cream and other fat laden ingredients added. So here is a lip-smacking soup recipe for everyone.
Flavoured with garlic, lemon, ginger and cilantro.
Tomatoes have vitamins, minerals, protein and dietary fibers to maintain healthy skin and other body organs. Its helps to lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease, prevent cancer, fight inflammation and improve eye health. Apart from these it gives you radiant skin.
And lemon is a rich source of vitamin c. It protects the body against immune system deficiencies and serves as a powerful antibacterial.
Recipe is very simple and easy. You don't need any fancy ingredients. You can use whatever you have in your pantry. I have used only tomatoes and cilantro but you can add grated carrots or any vegetables of your choice. Make a healthy bowlful to warm you up in this cold season.
Heat oil or butter in a pan. Add the bay leaf, chopped onion and garlic. Saute till the onion becomes translucent. Don't make it brown.
Now add the chopped tomatoes, cilantro, coconut and grated ginger. Saute till the tomatoes becomes mushy.
Add salt, black pepper powder and red chilli powder. You can omit red chilli powder if you don't like it hot. I have used it to add some colour in the soup.
Add 2 cup vegetable stock or coconut milk or water or chicken or mutton stock. Use whatever you have. I have used half water half coconut milk.
Let it boil. Cook on simmer for 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and mix. Let it cool down.
Discard the bay leaf and blend the mixture until smooth. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and keep aside.
Pour it again in the pan. Add more water or stock. I have added 1 and 1/2 cup more. Add as you like your soup, thick or thin. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
When it starts to boil add the beaten eggs slowly. Stir gently. Eggs will cook immediately. If you don't like eggs you can skip this step.
Cook until you get your desired consistency. Garnish with coriander leaves, grated coconut, tomato slice and scallion or spring onion.
Serve piping hot. Add some more lemon juice and back pepper powder if require.
Or if you are serving to your kids add spoonful of butter and grated cheese.

High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. This newsletter is about Phase 2a of the railway, which will run from the West Midlands to Crewe, passing through parts of Staffordshire and Cheshire.
The project team recognise that local people may be concerned about the potential impacts of HS2.
This newsletter explains the latest plans and the support available.
Supported by the National Environment Programme fund from the Environment Agency, the scheme will divert the existing Tad Brook from its current course, which is very straight, so that it meanders and creates an improved habitat for otters, brown trout and invertebrates.
The work involves felling the old non-native trees, which have been badly damaged by squirrels, and creating a new course for the brook, meeting up with the drainage from the surrounding fields. Once the work is completed, native willow and alder trees will be planted to create a new wet woodland, complimenting the biodiversity of the brook.
Visit the South Staffs web pages for full details and video.
Have you got something to tell local people about? If so and you are not a commerical organisation, why not submit a news item for the web pages?
If you have images or documents you would like to link to your news item, say so in the message and we will explain how to get those to us.
To recap, HS2 are intending to build a large electricity substation just south of the B5234 Abbots Bromley Road at Parkgate (I mile west of Newborough) where there are existing high voltage overhead power cables. HS2 then intend to erect two parallel lines of pylons – 60 in total, between 28 and 39 metres tall.
Power will then be cabled from this new substation in a south westerly direction, through Bromley Hurst and across the Blithe Valley to Newlands Lane near Colton, where it will be used as the sole power source for phase 2a (Birmingham to Crewe) of HS2.
Following on from our report in November's Bulletin a Steering Group has been formed with the Parish Councillors from Newborough, Hoar Cross, Abbots Bromley and several affected parishioners, to try and mitigate the effects of this.
The original proposal was for 2 power circuits to be installed from the Rugeley power station site. Now that a 3rd circuit is deemed to be necessary for security of supply, this site, according both HS2 and the National Grid, is apparently no longer suitable – hence Parkgate. Following a meeting with Michael Fabricant (who in turn has written to the Under Secretary of State responsible for HS2), we have been advised that reinstating Rugeley is not a viable option.
The one option we now have is to petition for the cabling to go underground. Because of the initial disruption of this to the various landowners, we have written to them requesting their support. If this is forthcoming we would intend to petition for this solution, by the imposed deadline of 15th March.

Warren Buffett Says He Won't Buy Utility That Caused Massive California Fires
Investing Strategies April 27, 2019April 27, 2019 Benjamin Roussey
Warren Buffett has put an end to the market speculation that Berkshire Hathaway was in talks to buy the beleaguered California utility company PG&E.
Speaking to CNBC, Buffett made it clear that there was no truth to this story, and that obviously he "would know" if his company was planning to acquire PG&E.
The rumor had quickly gathered steam when an online report claimed that a deal was on. The stock price of PG&E zoomed more than 25% following the story.
California's biggest investor-owned utility is facing potential liability of up to $30 billion from wildfires that occurred in 2017 and 2018.
The company's stock took a hit when news began to emerge that one of the deadlines fires in the history of the state, one resulting in the deaths of 86 people, was "probably" caused by PG&E equipment.
The stock sank further in January this year when the company declared that it would file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, some of the prominent hedge funds on Wall Street, including Baupost Group, D.E. Shaw and Appaloosa Management continued to hold stakes in the utility after the wildfire.
Although each hedge fund is likely to have its own reasons for sticking to their position in the company, analysts have come up with theories on why the funds have stakes in the embattled utility.
Seth Klarman buys in
Seth Klarman's Baupost Group first bought into PG&E in the first quarter of 2018. By the fourth quarter, nearly all major institutional investors had raised their holdings in the company.
As the Camp Fire struck, PG&E stock dropped almost 50% in the last quarter. Notable buyers in Q4 included Vanguard Group (9.6 million shares) and Anchorage Capital (9.5 million shares).
Seth Klarman had bought 14.5 million PG&E shares in the third quarter, before the fires, and sold 18% of his holdings in final quarter.
Clearly, the value of his investment in the company is likely to have declined.
But there's a catch. Baupost also had purchased insurance amounting to $1 billion against their PG&E bet.
This move gives Baupost the right to recover its losses from the 2017 wildfires.
The insurance claims could become a hedge against the losses sustained by holding PG&E's shares. Under the bankruptcy proceedings, the fund could become eligible for repayment.

Where Is Beverley Mitchell Now? The 'Right On Track' Star Has A New Reality TV Show
by Megan Walsh
Not only is Beverley Mitchell forever etched into pop culture memory as one of the Camden girls on 7th Heaven, but she also had the good fortune to co-star in the Disney channel made-for-TV movie Right on Track, a flawless biopic about teenage drag racers. Not the RuPaul kind, I'm sorry to say. Right on Track was all about girls dominating in a male-driven sport and schooling your bullies with your impressive car-fixing skills. It was actually a true story, too. Right on Track was based on the lives of the drag racing Enders sisters, with Mitchell starring as Erica Enders and Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson (!!!) as little sister Courtney. Mitchell has certainly made her mark on television, but what has she been up to lately? Where is Beverley Mitchell now?
Mitchell has kept up with acting over the years, but she's also branched out into music. In 2007, she dropped her debut, self-titled country album though she hasn't had a follow-up since. She also settled down and started a family with her husband Michael Cameron, with whom she has two children, a daughter named Kenzie Lynn and a son named Hutton. Based just on Instagram snaps, the family couldn't be happier.
Though she's certainly best known for 7th Heaven, Mitchell has appeared in a handful of films and TV movies; she also had a fairly lengthy stint on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which seems like a pretty on-brand follow-up to 7th Heaven to me. She's even stayed close to her on-screen sisters; both Jessica Biel and Mackenzie Rosman were bridesmaids at her wedding.
Mitchell is still keeping busy with her acting career (the incredible-sounding title of one of her upcoming movies is Deadly Dance Mom, which I am on board for even without knowing what it's about), but perhaps the most exciting project in the works for her is a reality television show called Hollywood Darlings.
Mitchell will co-star alongside other child actor alums of beloved schmaltzy 90s shows, including Full House's Jodie Sweetin and Step By Step's Christine Lakin. The three have been friends for years and the series will follow them as they balance their careers and their families, while also taking full advantage of the 90s nostalgia boom we're all living in right now. Good for you, ladies.
Aside from that, Mitchell appears to be happiest taking care of her kids and living a life that might be on the quiet side for a former child star, but seems to suit her very well.

Starting on June 26, 2021 Entries must be received by the last closing time of the clinic on Saturday for the following week's Drawing, or such other cutoff as may be established for a particular Drawing.
*One entry per person.* Eligible District residents can only submit one entry into the drawings. Individuals who register themselves more than one time are subject to disqualification. Receiving a $51 gift card does not disqualify you from entering the Drawing.
Eligibility and Proof of Eligibility
You are eligible to participate in a Drawing if you meet all the following requirements:
You are a permanent resident of the District of Columbia.
You are at least 18 years of age.
You are not an employee or Officer of DC Lottery, the DC Department of Health's immunization program or emergency response team, or an Excepted or Executive Service member of the District government, or an officer, official, contractor or employee who assisted in the creation of this Giveaway, or in carrying out any of the Drawings. Nor may winners be a child, spouse, domestic partner, child-in-law, or parent-in-law of such an ineligible employee, contractor or officer who is living as a member of an that employee's, contractor's or officer's household.

Metro for a year (12 monthly passes) - Quantity: 40 (10 winners per week)
Random Drawing to Select Winners and Notification of Winners
Four times during the Giveaway, the Potential Winners of the drawings will be randomly selected from among all eligible entries. Entrants from the three locations will be combined into one pool. Entries will carry over from one drawing to the next, and the entry pool will be larger as more persons are vaccinated at each Eligible Location.
The probability of winning any prize will be determined by the cumulative number of eligible and valid entries submitted for that Drawing.
For each Drawing, the District will notify the Potential Winner by phone or text that they may have won a prize. District officials will request the Potential Winner to complete a written Take the Shot, DC Giveaway Authorization Form ("Authorization Form") and return it as instructed. This form will be more detailed than the entry form submitted at the time of vaccination. The Potential Winner must complete the Authorization Form in its entirety, sign it, and return it to the District within ten days of the District's initial attempt to contact them. The information on the form will be used to confirm the Potential Winner's eligibility, validate their entry, and obtain consent to publish their identity.
If the District makes one or more reasonable attempts to contact a Potential Winner by telephone or text and the Potential Winner fails to respond within three days, the District may move on to award that prize to an alternate choice, also selected randomly from the eligible pool.
When the District government receives the Potential Winner's completed Authorization Form within the time specified, determines that the Potential Winner meets the eligibility requirements, and obtains further verification that the Potential Winner has received their second vaccination, if needed, the District government will certify person as an Official Winner.
The District will notify an Official Winner using information available on the Authorization Form, which may include by phone, text, email, U.S. Mail, or in-person contact. The District is not required to use any specific method to notify an Official Winner.
The promptness and degree of reasonableness of efforts to obtain an Authorization Form from a Potential Winner, or of any decision to deem a Potential Winner ineligible based upon these rules or their failure to obtain a second vaccination, if necessary, shall be at the sole discretion of the District.
Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the Potential Winners drawn and verified will be declared the Official Winners of the Take the Shot, DC Giveaway drawings.
In the event that an entry is deemed invalid or a discrepancy is found, or a Potential Winner or Official Winner does not wish to receive a prize, refuses or fails to provide verification information, or does not promptly respond to the initial contact by District officials, that winner may be deemed ineligible and an alternate may be used. If it is determined that an alternate will be used, the winner that was deemed invalid will forfeit any prizes associated with the Giveaway. In the event of a winner's death or inability to claim the prize, the District will make a determination about the awarding of the prize. The District's decision will be final.
Alternates will be used in the order in which they were selected (i.e. alternate one will be used first, alternate two second and so on) as vacated spots become available.
Potential Winners will be advised, at the time of the District's notification, of claiming procedures and deadlines. Official Winners will receive the prize only upon completion of their second dose unless they received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Official Winners must claim their prize by the claiming deadline date and following the instructions as identified in the schedule relating to that particular Drawing or prize. Alternate Official Winners must claim by the claiming deadline as identified for that particular Drawing for that prize. If an Official Winner is unable to come in person to verify or redeem the prize, such as because they are physically unable to travel, the District may, but is not required to, attempt to meet the person to obtain verification or redeem the prize in person at a mutually convenient time and place.
Official Winners will sign any forms, releases of liability, and affidavits of eligibility required. Official Winners understand that by winning and accepting a prize, they reveal the medical information that they have been vaccinated.
Acceptance of the prize constitutes express permission for the District and its agencies to use the Official Winner's name worldwide, in perpetuity, for purposes of advertising and trade without further compensation, notification or permission unless prohibited by law, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised.
By accepting a prize, each Official Winner agrees to hold the District, including its Mayor, any of its employees, commissioners, owners, directors, officers, affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors, assignees and agents, absolutely harmless against any and all claims and/or liability arising out of the ownership and/or use of a prize.
Each Official Winner assumes all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by participation in the Giveaway or use or redemption of any prize. The District makes no warranty, guarantee or representation of any kind concerning any prize (or any portion thereof) and disclaims any implied warranty. By participating in the Giveaway, all entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules.
All materials submitted become the property of the District and will not be returned. Some prizes may be nontransferable to any other person and will be designated as such prior to acceptance of the prize.
An appropriate IRS form will be issued by the District to each Official Winner. All federal and local laws, applicable taxes, and regulations apply. The District may but is not required to provide both the prize and any applicable taxes the Official Winner would be required to pay for the prize, such as an increase to your income taxes. The Official Winner, however, remains responsible for all taxes, including income taxes, for any prize won. All amounts or values paid to the Official Winner, or paid the Official Winner's behalf, will be included in the taxable income reported to the IRS.

Absolute Number of Regulatory T Cells Decreased While Osteopontin Increased in Peripheral Blood of New Onset Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Keywords: osteopontin and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), T-Regulatory Cells
Session Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis – Diagnosis, Manifestations, and Outcomes Poster II: Diagnosis and Prognosis
Session Type: ACR Poster Session B
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive immune-mediated disease involving the synovitis that can culminate in joint destruction and early mortality.IL-17-producing T (Th17) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells have been showed to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of RA. Osteopontin (OPN) is a matricellular protein that mediates diverse biological functions. OPN mediates cell migration, adhesion, and survival in many cell types. OPN also functions as a Th1 cytokine, promotes cell-mediated immune responses, and plays a role in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Recently, studies revealed that OPN produced in RA SF was responsible for markedly increased Th17 and Both Treg-intrinsic and Treg-extrinsicis factors maintaining Bcl6 are important for controlling Treg cell stability. Recently, our studies have found that absolute number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (CD4+Tregs) was significantly decreased in peripheral blood from patients with RA as compared to that from normal controls. The purpose is to investigate the absolute number of Th17, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells as well as OPN content in peripheral blood of patients with RA and the correlation between OPN content with Th17 and Treg cells, to find a possible pathogenesis related to RA and new therapy for the RA treatment.
Methods: A total 67 of new-onset diagnosed patients with RA fulfilled the 2010 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria of Rheumatoid Arthritis were enrolled and 93 healthy donors were used as control. The absolute number of peripheral CD4+Tregs cell was detected by multicolor flow cytometry . ELISA was used to detect OPN. Meanwhile, Test parameters were anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (Anti-CCP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor(RF). At the same time, the DAS28 score of RA group was calculated.
Results: The levels of OPN in RA patients were increased significantly [(14.84±8.64) vs (10.59±3.40), P<0.001] and significantly positively correlated to ESR, DAS28 score, and RF (r=0.284, P=0.02; r=0.290, P=0.039; r=0.376, P=0.007). The absolute number of Treg cells was significantly decreased in RA patients as compared with the controls[(23.63±2.80) vs (33.67±26.83)ng/µl, P<0.001]. However, the absolute number of Treg cells was negatively to OPN levels, and the difference was statistically significant (r=-0.459, P=0.000). The absolute number of Th17 cells tends to reduce and there was no statistical significance[(7.64±6.44 ) vs (6.64±4.26) ng/µl, P=0.0129]. There is no significant correlation between OPN and Th17(r=0.006,P=0.963).
Conclusion: The levels of OPN in peripheral blood plasma in RA were significantly higher than in healthy group, OPN was positively correlated with the laboratory parameters of disease activity. There was a negative correlation between Treg cells and OPN in RA group, which suggested that the reduction of Treg cell levels may be associated with OPN concentration. The correlation of decreased CD4+Tregs and OPN may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA. Whether OPN lays a role in the reduction of Treg cells need to study further
