Cut an even number of strings, at least six. Tie a knot about a third of the way through. Place your strings on the rock and macrame it to make the rock stay put. To macrame, take two of your strings and knot them. Do this with all of your strings, making the knots about the same place. Then divide your two strings and tie a not with the string from the knot next to it. Put your rock in. Tie a knot to keep it put. You can braid the ends or tie knots, but I decided to leave it like this. Put on your doll!


Australia is mourning the loss of one of its greatest sporting figures after motor racing legend Peter Brock was killed when his car hit a tree during a rally in Western Australia.
The witness said it had rained on Friday morning but the road through the "treacherous bend" was drying out.
The Targa West, which started on Friday, is a three-day event raced on closed, tarmac roads, modelled on events such as Targa Tasmania, and claims safety as its highest priority.


These slim-fitting trousers are among our most popular classics. They are simple and elegant and have elastic at the back of the waist, so they sit snugly at the back. The soft cotton stretch makes them wonderful to wear, and the clean look is contrasted by zipped slits at the bottom of each leg.

ABS-CBN's blockbuster, "The Hows of Us," expands digital distribution, becomes first Filipino film to be on Cineplex Store in Canada
Following its recent release on iTunes and Google Play, the biggest Filipino box-office earner in 2018, ABS-CBN Star Cinema's romantic drama, "The Hows of Us," has now become the first Filipino film ever to be released on the Cineplex Store (CineplexStore.com).
The Cineplex Store is Canada's one-stop shop for digital rentals and purchases, extending the movie-going experience into guests' homes. A leading entertainment and media company, Cineplex is Canada's largest and most innovative film exhibitor representing approximately 75 per cent of Canada's box office revenue. The Cineplex Store offers over 8,000 titles, from new releases, top rentals to countless classics, from Hollywood, Canadian and international studios.
Directed for ABS-CBN Star Cinema by award-winning Filipina director Cathy Garcia-Molina, co-writing the screenplay with Carmi G. Raymundo, Crystal S. San Miguel and Gillian Ebreo, "The Hows of Us" stars Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo, one of the most popular and power reel and real-life couples in the Philippine movie industry for the last decade.
"The Hows of Us" is about two college students, George (Bernardo) and Primo (Padilla), who fall in love. George is into science, wanting to become a doctor. Primo is into the arts, aspiring to hit it big as a band musician. George inherits a house from her grand aunt where she and Primo decide to live together while dreaming of success in their respective fields and pledging undying support for each other no matter what.
But life becomes real: Primo fails to get the big break he's been working for. George continues to be faithful and supportive, but a frustrated Primo turns into a difficult person with a capacity for prideful arrogance, creating a nimbus of exhausted love for the couple. It reaches a point when George gives up... and Primo walks away. Is there still a second chance at love for this couple who once professed together forever to each other?
For her performance, Bernardo won Best Actress at the 35th PMPC Star Awards for Movies and Entertainment Editors' Choice Awards for Movies (EDDY'S) in 2019.
More good news is that the star couple also has a new groundbreaking film -- a digital movie series - entitled, "The House Arrest of Us" which is now available to viewers worldwide on iWantTFC and TFC IPTV, with a new episode dropping every Sunday (Manila time).
You can watch "The Hows of Us" instantly on the Cineplex Store on your preferred device, including Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Roku, LG and Samsung Smart TVs. Visit CineplexStore.com

Q: Disable startup scripts when loging in? In Windows you press the shift key when you login to disable any startup scripts from running. Is there an equivalent action in Ubuntu?

A: No, this is not possible.
There are 2 sorts of scripts:

*

*scripts that are started as part of the system and affect all users.

*scripts that are started when you log in as part of your own session.

Both do not have a keyboard switch to turn them off or on on the fly.

A: Go to dash and search startup, some are hidden for security reasons so in the terminal type this
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
And then try the startup application.

I've survived the NYC apartment hunt! Implausible as it remains to me, from September 2017 - August 2018, I will be living in a gorgeous three-story brownstone on West 95th Street. We have 1000 square ft to call our own, on the top floor, with south-facing windows and a working kitchen, all less than two blocks from Central Park.
How is this possible when I still possess all my internal organs? In a word, ROOMMATES. Yup! That's right. For the first time since 2002, I will be living with someone who is not obligated to love me because I literally grew them inside me. Two someones, actually: my beloved, B, and my cousin, J. They are both high-functioning, responsible, grown-@$$ adults. The broker was so delighted by B's and J's application portfolios, in fact, that I essentially became their application-puppy: Look how cute it was that I'd applied, too! My hair was so shiny! I'd probably keep B and J very happy!!
As the Big Move approaches, I am not remotely worried about living with either B or J. I am, however, becoming increasingly nervous about their having to live with me. It turns out that I may be just a wee bit particular about having things a certain way (e.g., the RIGHT way).
In the interests of Honesty and Growing and Becoming a Bigger Person, what follows is a 100% truthful record of a recent incident in which it became clear to me that in a remake of the iconic Julia Roberts film, Sleeping with the Enemy, I would not get to play the quirky redhead trying to build a new life. I would not even get to play the charmingly laid-back love interest who sings and dances while he waters his lawn. Alas! Give the horrible husband who insists that all the cans in the pantry be organized into neat rows (with labels facing out, duh!) a love for They Might Be Giants instead of Berlioz and a perchant for righteous indignation instead of murderous rage, and sh*t starts getting a little too real.
Remember why Julia Roberts looks so terrified in the movie poster? It's because she's just noticed that all the towels in the bathroom of her new home have been arranged to line up neatly in a careful row, and that means her horrible husband has found her again.
I won't lie: when I saw that movie for the first time, the sound I made when Julia Robert's character originally messes up those towels was less the triumphant "YEAH!" of my friends and more a distressed "Awck!" I mean, good for Julia Roberts for getting away from her abusive controller, but do those towels really need to suffer as a result??
Me, bursting into study and brandishing towel: "Are you deliberately trying to punk me?!"
Me, entirely sincere: "You put the other two towels with the tan side out, but you put this one with the GREEN side out!"
B, still trying to figure out what's happening to him: "Yes?"
Me: "YES! Why would you do that?!"
B, as it dawns on him that I'm serious: "Because I used a towel and then hung it up again without looking at its color?"
Me, realizing for literally the first time in my life that other people might be capable of not noticing which side of the towel faces out, "Wait...What? How is that even possible?"
B, even more confused but now starting to see the problem: "Honestly, I don't think most people pay attention to that sort of thing."
Me, firmly: "That must be false. This is the sort of thing people care about."
B, who has shared bathrooms with far more people than I have: "Sweetie? I think you might be the outlier here."
Me, suddenly remembering the bathroom scene from Sleeping with the Enemy: "Dear God -- I'm a MONSTER!"
B, trying to be supportive but also honest: "Maybe just a little?"
Me: "Crap!" [a few seconds pass] "But for real, could you please hang the towels so they're all the same color?"
B: stares at me for a moment, open-mouthed, and then quietly goes back to translating Latin.
Variations of this scene have occurred with what I'm sure B feels is alarming frequency in the past six weeks.
There was the Towels Need to be Spaced Evenly on the Hooks talk (which I'm confident B now recognizes as just good common sense), the What Do You Mean You Don't Make Hospital Corners on the Bed? interrogation (seriously, why would anyone even put sheets on a bed without making the corners neat and tight?), and the memorable Dear God, Why Would You Put That Bowl There? soliloquy (when a ceramic bowl was placed on top of a stack of glass bowls like their differing levels of transparency didn't even MATTER).
The worst part is that I can't even pretend that I don't care because, most of the time, it's as much a revelation to me as to B that I feel strongly about these things: my horrified reaction is utterly instinctive. The only person I've lived with for the last 15 years, after all, is someone who has no comprehension that Things Could Be Otherwise. David hangs the towels up the way I've taught him to, and in return I honor his desire for the hallway light-switches to be all either flipped 'up' or 'down', and for the different-colored cups to be stacked from dark to light. And now, after all this time, I find that we've been happily incubating bizarre neuroses.
As the move gets closer, I'd like to say I'm making progress, but mostly what I'm doing is learning how to work around the problem. When the zombie apocalypse is upon us, and we're scrappy survivors scuttling from one abandoned warehouse to the next, I will probably still fold whatever we're using for a hand-towel into neat thirds and find a way for it to hang with its front edge even with its back edge. But! I've at least figured out a way to avoid one fight.
B, running into room and brandishing towel with joy: "These towels are the same color on both sides! I can't screw them up!!"
Me, smiling and nodding like an 80's sitcom mom: "That's right!"
B, doing his happy dance (which is a real thing, and incredibly adorable): "Yay!"
Now I just need to figure out how to talk to him about sorting the silverware. Either that, or get rid of all the soup spoons.

Trailer: I Lost My Body arrives on Netflix this November
James R | On 02, Oct 2019
From the writer of Amelie comes a new epic story about a severed hand. That's the pitch for Netflix's new animation, I Lost My Body, which premieres at the London Film Festival this October.
The film, which Netflix snapped up following its best film win at Cannes' International Critics' Week, follows a cut-off hand that escapes from a dissection lab with one crucial goal: to get back to its body. As it scrambles through the pitfalls of Paris, it remembers its life with the young man it was once attached to… until they met Gabrielle.
It hails from Xilam Animation and marks the animated feature debut of Jérémy Clapin. Clapin studied animation and illustration at the Paris École des Arts Décoratifs, before going on to shoot his first short in 2004, Une histoire vertébrale, which was warmly received in festivals. In 2008, he directed Skhizein and in 2012 made Palmipedarium, where he experimented with a new manner of making animation that came closer to real shots.
Clapin directed and co-wrote with Guaillaume Laurant (Amelie), with Marc du Pontavice producing. The voice cast includes Hakim Faris, Victoire Du Bois and Patrick d'Assumçao.
The film will be released in select UK cinemas on Friday 22nd November, before hitting Netflix worldwide on 29th November – and will screen at the London Film Festival this Friday and Saturday, and also on 12th October.
Here's the trailer:
Netflix nabs Cannes-winning animation I Lost My Body
Netflix has nabbed the worldwide rights to Cannes prize-winning animation I Lost My Body.
The film, which hails from Xilam Animation is Jérémy Clapin's animated feature debut. Clapin studied animation and illustration at the Paris École des Arts Décoratifs, before going on to shoot his first short in 2004, Une histoire vertébrale, which was warmly received in festivals. In 2008, he directed Skhizein and in 2012 made Palmipedarium, where he experimented with a new manner of making animation that came closer to real shots.

It follows a cut-off hand that escapes from a dissection lab with one crucial goal: to get back to its body. As it scrambles through the pitfalls of Paris, it remembers its life with the young man it was once attached to… until they met Gabrielle.
The film premiered this week on the Croisette in the Critics Week section of the festival to rave reviews. It was ultimately named the best film of the independent International Critics' Week, which consists of seven features and 10 short films, and awarded the Nespresso Grand Prize. Now, Netflix has nabbed the worldwide rights to the movie, excluding China, Benelux, Turkey and France.
It is the second film to be snapped up by Netflix from this year's Cannes, with the worldwide rights also acquired for Grand Priz Winner Atlantics (Atlantique).

What a delight to wake up and find "Blue Days" featured in CBC's Songs You Need to Hear!
Songwriting can be a pretty solitary pursuit at times, so it's refreshing to hear an echo back every now and then.
"Blue Days" is from Six More Miles, a duets album with Andrew Horton. Socalled made a beautiful music video for the song, a sunset moment captured in timelapse.
If you're paying careful attention, you might notice the dragonfly that lands on the book at 20 seconds into the video.

New advances in psychosurgery will allow surgeons to cut into their patient's brains with lasers in order to remove obsessive compulsive disorder. Not to be confused with the maligned lobotomies of the 30s, this practice would only be offered to patients after all other measures have been exhausted.
Before any cutting, the patient's symptoms must cross a certain threshold of severity based on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. In addition, their symptoms must also be resistant to other forms of treatment, including but not limited to medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Only 20 percent of patients qualify for the practice, of those even fewer undergo the procedure. From there, doctors pin a stereotactic frame to the patient's head, and use MRI and CAT scans in order to build a map of the patient's brain in order to chart where the laser's path should follow.
Psychosurgeries aren't the only extreme measure that a patient can undergo once conventional treatments have been exhausted. There's also deep brain stimulation where electrodes are attached to your brain and shot with low levels of voltage in order to sooth out your OCD tendencies. Sounds great.

Report: Gaetz Used Venmo To Pay Indicted Sex Trafficker, Who Then Sent Cash To 18-Year-Old
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) attends the House Armed Services Committee markup of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on July 1, 2020. (Photo By Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)
By Cristina Cabrera
April 9, 2021 8:25 a.m.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) reportedly used Venmo to send $900 one night in March 2018 to his friend and alleged sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, who then Venmo'd the same amount of money to three young women, including an 18-year-old, the next day.
The Daily Beast reported on Wednesday night that it had obtained records of the transactions, which were reportedly public on the app until this week, showing that Gaetz sent the $900 in two payments. The GOP congressman reportedly wrote "Test" in the memo field of the first payment, and "Hit up [name of 18-year-old]" in the second (the Daily Beast withheld her name).
Greenberg reportedly wrote "Tuition," "School," and "School" in Venmo payments to the three women that added up to $900 the next morning.
Gaetz told the Daily Beast through PR firm Logan Circle Group that "[t]he rumors, gossip and self-serving misstatements of others will be addressed in due course by my legal team."
The new revelations of the Venmo payments emerge amid the Justice Department's investigation into Gaetz for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old and paying for her travel across state lines.
The probe stemmed from the criminal case against Greenberg, who has been charged with sex trafficking and others crimes involving abuse of office when he served as Seminole County tax collector. He is reportedly expected to plead guilty.
The sex trafficking charge against Greenberg involves the same 17-year-old in the investigation into Gaetz, according to the New York Times.
Investigators are also reportedly looking at "sugar daddy" payments Gaetz and Greenberg allegedly made to several women who were recruited for sex.
Gaetz, who has not been criminally charged, denies having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paying for sex.

The Hunger Games as a Resource for Apologists
The dystopian world of The Hunger Games, in which children kill other children for the amusement of a decadent elite, provides an ideal opportunity for Christians to engage with culture for apologetics and evangelism — but we have to be willing to challenge ourselves as well.
The Hunger Games has at heart an anti-war / anti-violence message, but author Suzanne Collins also critiques the way that consumers of media are complicit in the cycle of exploitation of violence for entertainment. In the books and the film, the violence of the Games is both a means of controlling the poorer Districts, and entertainment for the jaded, decadent people of the Capitol. Though the people of the Districts fear and hate the Games, they still watch the games on television. And we, the readers and viewers, are put in the position of being complicit in the violence and decadence we deplore.
Our emotions and our imagination cannot be extinguished; if they are ignored, or fed only junk, they will become unhealthy. Yet when the imagination is fed nourishing stories and images and cultivated properly, it flowers into part of a vibrant, full Christian life. The same root that can lead to voyeurism can become empathy; the root that could become violence can become a passion for justice and protecting the weak.
The Hunger Games is an atheist's dream in some respects: the characters strive to live good lives in a world without any recognition of a transcendent God. The result is a bleak, meaningless world that exposes the bankruptcy of the atheist worldview. Yet if we try to offer Jesus as the solution too quickly, we may miss an important opportunity. The world of The Hunger Games allows Christians to enter into the worldview of those who are struggling to create their own meaning in a world that they perceive as hostile and meaningless. The questions and objections and fears that unbelievers have may not be what Christians expect.
As Christian readers and viewers, how are we complicit in the distortions of media?
How can we provide ways to guide and transform our culture toward the good?
As Christians, are we willing to listen to atheists and seekers and answer their real questions?

She is the author of Not God's Type: A Rational Academic Finds a Radical Faith (Moody, 2010) and speaks and writes regularly on literature and literary apologetics. Holly will appear on the Bible Answer Man Broadcast in April (listen to the show live at 6PM ET at www.equip.org) to discuss her cover article on The Hunger Games in the new issue of the Christian Research Journal.

Last weekend I went to see the new Matt Damon and Emily Blunt film, a romantic thriller called The Adjustment Bureau (PG-13*). Loosely based on a 1954 short story by Philip K. Dick called the "Adjustment Team," the film's themes center around "God," free will and determinism. The film causes viewers to wonder does God exist and if so, does He change His mind? Do human beings have free will? Is there a plan for human lives that has already been pre-determined by God before we were born? Do we have guardian angels watching over and affecting our lives? And can human choices change the mind of God?
Even though director and screenwriter George Nolfi had no intention of making a movie with explicitly religious or Christian themes, he nevertheless raises the age-old question of do we truly have free will?
In the upcoming Volume 34 No. 3 issue of the Christian Research Journal, contributing writer Brian Godawa will offer his take in a review of the film and its themes. You won't want to miss Godawa's analysis so please subscribe to the Christian Research Journal (a 6-issue subscription is $39.50). Or give a gift subscription.

T.G.I. Friday's Jack Daniel's Glazed Ribs
Menu Description: "This full side of baby back pork ribs is first cooked until it's fall-off-the-bone tender, then seasoned with Cajun spices, fire-grilled and brushed with our famous Jack Daniel's glaze. Served with crispy fries and coleslaw."
To re-create these great ribs you first must clone the Cajun seasoning that is sprinkled on them. That takes, like, 5 minutes. Once that's done, pop the ribs in the oven and get crackin' on the Jack Daniel's glaze. When the racks come out of the oven, slap 'em on the grill for a few minutes until grill marks form, and chow down.

Perfect! If you let it keep simmering, it will magically thicken up - be patient, its worth the wait!
I think the flavor is spot on!! I have followed Todd's directions step by step, the only problem is I cannot get the sauce to thicken. Does anyone have any pointers? This would easily change my rating from Very good to Excellent.
Roadhouse Grill Baby Back Ribs
Menu Description: "Our award-winning Baby Back Ribs are slow-roasted, then basted with Jim Beam Bourbon BBQ Sauce and finished on our Mesquite grill."
When your crew bites into these baby backs they'll savor meat so tender and juicy that it slides right off the bone. The slow braising cooks the ribs to perfection, while the quick grilling adds the finishing char and smoky flavor. But the most important component to any decent rack of ribs is a sauce that's filled with flavor, and this version of Roadhouse Grill's award-wining sauce is good stuff. I ordered the ribs naked (without sauce) so that I could see if there was any detectable rub added before cooking and I didn't find anything other than salt and a lot of coarse black pepper. So that's the way I designed the recipe, and it works.
Now, how about a copycat Roadhouse Grill Roadhouse Rita to wash down those ribs.
T.G.I. Friday's Sesame Jack Strips
Menu Description: "Golden brown, chicken breast strips coated with crispy Japanese panko breadcrumbs with the extra crunch of toasted sesame seeds and tossed in our famous Jack Daniel's sauce."
Although the original recipe is made from sliced chicken breasts, you may consider using the less chewy tenderloins in this kitchen copy. Packs of fresh chicken tenderloins are sold in most markets and you can also find bags of them in the freezer section. I'm a big fan of the more tender meat in the tenderloins, especially when it comes to chicken fingers. The breading is a simple combination of flour and panko (or Japanese bread crumbs). When the chicken fingers are done frying, gently toss them in the Jack Daniel's glaze made from my recipe here, and you've got a great appetizer than can serve a half dozen finger food fanatics.
Hooters Original Style Wings
Menu Description: "The one and only! The style we invented over 30 years ago; they're breaded by hand, tossed in your choice of wing sauce and served by your favorite Hooters girl."
When I first hacked this recipe back in 1997 for the book Top Secret Restaurant Recipes, Hooters wings looked different than they do today. The chain used to leave the pointy end of the wing attached to the middle piece, or "flat," which, frankly, is unnecessary because there is very little meat on the tip segment. Today the chain serves wings like everyone else, with drumettes and flats completely separated, and delivered by waitresses in the same bright orange shorts as when the chain started in 1983.
One thing that wasn't available to me back then was the opportunity to examine the chain's packaging for the lists of ingredients on signature items like sauces and breading. Today, since they sell these items as retail products, I can take advantage of labeling laws that require ingredients to be clearly listed and see what really goes into these recipes. Using that new information, I've made a few small tweaks to improve my recipe from over 20 years ago, including two versions of the kickass wing sauce—medium and hot—for your wing-devouring pleasure.
Outback Steakhouse Bacon Bourbon Salmon
Before a generous portion of bacon bits—followed by a strip of crispy bacon—are stacked on top of Outback's signature salmon, the fillet is brushed with a delicious, slightly spicy bourbon sauce that must be properly duplicated, or this hack would be a fail.
After several batches I settled on glaze that's made by cooking a brown sugar and corn syrup mixture until thick, then adding cider vinegar, bourbon and liquid smoke after the pan comes off the heat to keep the acidic flavors bright.
For the bacon bits sprinkled on top of the salmon, I used thick bacon and diced it into bits before cooking it until crispy. The strip of bacon that goes on the top of each fillet should be made with thinner bacon, so it's easy to cut. That's how Outback does it, but you can use whatever bacon you like for the bits and on top, and I'm sure no one will protest.
I say that with confidence because I know it's impossible to complain while eating any food with lots of bacon on it. Totally true fact.
See if I hacked more of your favorites from Outback Steakhouse here.
Ruth's Chris Steak House Petite Filet
Menu Description: "A smaller, but equally tender filet...the tenderest corn-fed Mid-western beef. So tender it practically melts in your mouth."
This is the signature item for the Ruth's Chris chain. It's a delicious filet mignon that comes to your table sizzling hot and so tender you can cut it with a fork. If you want to prepare filets the Ruth's Chris way you first need some prime corn-fed filets, which can be found in specialty meat markets or through mail-order outlets such as Omaha Steaks. Prime is your best choice, but the technique will still work with other grades of beef.
This recipe duplicates the petite filet on the Ruth's Chris menu, since the larger filet is so big—about 14 ounces. Ruth's Chris uses a special broiler which reaches temperatures as high as 1800 degrees F. It's likely you don't have such an oven, so you can use a conventional oven set on high broil, with the rack inches away from the heat source. If you have a gas oven, watch for flame-ups from spattering. If you begin to get flames, move the rack to a lower level. Also, you will need ceramic oven-safe plates to serve the sizzling steak on.
Olive Garden Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Garlic mashed potatoes are a great side for many entrees, especially when the mashed potatoes are as creamy and flavorful as those at Olive Garden. In our hack, the cloves of peeled garlic are boiled with the potatoes. When the potatoes get passed through a potato ricer (or mashed) the softened garlic cloves go along for the ride and get mashed up too. This way you're guaranteed to get the perfect amount of flavorful garlic in every bite.
I settled on cream as the dairy here after my attempts using milk and half-and-half resulted in thin and runny potatoes. I found that cream adds the perfect thickness and smooth richness to the mashers, and it made the closest duplicate.
This side goes great with our Olive Garden Stuffed Chicken Marsala copycat recipe.
Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken
Menu Description: "Grilled chicken breast and bacon smothered in mushrooms, melted Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, with honey mustard sauce."
In the late eighties, as the public's concern about eating beef was growing, the restaurant industry saw a big shift toward chicken meals. In the midst of a poultry-crazy country, that last thing you'd expect anyone to do is open a steakhouse. But that's exactly what the gang who founded Outback Steakhouse did. And by the time their restaurant had become the sixth largest dinnerhouse chain in the country, they had proven what many people still want is a big honkin' slab of beef.
With a menu dominated by beef items, it's nice to find that the restaurant can do great things with chicken meals as well, such as the Alice Springs Chicken. You'll love the mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and honey mustard piled on a chicken breast that's been grilled on the "barbie."

Benihana Hibachi Chicken and Steak
When 20-year old Rocky Aoki came to New York City from Japan with his wrestling team in 1959 he was convinced it was the land of opportunity. Just five years later he used $10,000 he had saved plus another $20,000 that he borrowed to open a Benihana steakhouse on the West Side of Manhattan. His concept of bringing the chefs out from the back of the kitchen to prepare the food in front of customers on a specially designed hibachi grill was groundbreaking. The restaurant was such a smashing success that it paid for itself within 6 months.
The most popular items at the restaurant are the Hibachi Chicken and Hibachi Steak, which are prepared at your table on an open hibachi grill. But, since most home kitchens are not fitted with an hibachi grill, you'll have to improvise. You will likely have to use two pans for this Benihana hibachi chicken and steak recipe; one for the meat and mushrooms, and the other for the remaining vegetables. And since many of today's cooking surfaces are coated with scratchable, nonstick coatings, we won't be slicing the meat and vegetables while they are sizzling on the hot cooking surface as the Benihana chefs do.

House of Commons PQs
Hansard HC [92/474-78]
Civil liberties, Education, Industry, Privatized & state industries, Foreign policy (Middle East), Foreign policy (USA), Community charge ("poll tax"), Leadership, Northern Ireland, Terrorism, Strikes & other union action
[column 474]
Q1. Mr. Fisher
asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Thursday 20 February.
The Prime Minister (Mrs. Margaret Thatcher)
This morning I presided at a meeting of the Cabinet and had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House I shall be having further meetings later today. This evening I shall attend a reception to mark the 75th anniversary of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf.
Mr. Fisher
When did the Prime Minister first know of the deadline of 4 March?
I have nothing to add to what I have already said on this matter.
Mr. Hanley
Is my right hon. Friend aware that British companies made acquisitions to the tune of some £4 billion in the United States last year, and therefore acquisitions in the United Kingdom by United States companies is by no means a one-way street?
Yes, I saw a detailed account in a paper today of inward and outward investment, and of American investment in this country. The figures published in the Financial Times show that British companies acquired 160 businesses in the United States last year and 142 in 1984. I hope that the British acquisition of businesses in the United States was welcomed in that country.
Mr. Kinnock
What specific assurances are being sought from potential purchasers of the constituent parts of British Leyland? What means will the right hon. Lady adopt to ensure that such assurances are enforced in practice?
My right hon. Friend Paul Channonthe Secretary of State for Trade and Industry spoke about some of the assurances that were being sought, in his statement yesterday. The assurances are, for example, that the British nature of Land Rover and Range Rover in particular should be honoured, and that there should be certain assurances on sourcing.
How can the Prime Minister convince herself that honour is equivalent to binding assurances that will determine the future of an essential part of the British motor industry? What did the Under-Secretary of State for Trade and Industry mean in the other place yesterday when he said about such assurances:
"with regard to British content, trade marks, names and the like … there is a time limitation" .—[Official Report, House of Lords; 19 February 1986, Volume 471, c. 634.]
We believe that we are seeking the best future for Land Rover, Freight Rover and the whole of British Leyland. We are seeking the best future for jobs through the extension of trade and business. My Lord Lucas of Chilworthnoble Friend was clear in what he said to the other place, and I do not understand why the right hon. Gentleman finds difficulty with it.
Does the best future, as defined by the right hon. Lady, include binding enforceable assurances?
The right hon. Gentleman must see how long enforceable assurances can be instituted. He must then get legal advice upon that. That is precisely what my noble Friend was saying. I make it clear that there is no binding enforceable assurance about the future of a loss-making British Leyland.
Mr. Richard Page
As it was known by Members of this House and by the trade unions that discussions between General Motors and British Leyland were taking place months before Christmas, would my right hon. Friend like to comment on the fact that either the Opposition are ill-informed, or they have waited for the right moment to make political capital and are not worried about the workers in British Leyland?
We are anxious to secure a good future for British Leyland. Taxpayers have already put into British Leyland some £2.2 billion and have guaranteed a further £1.6 billion. That means that every family in the United Kingdom has contributed £200 to British Leyland. That situation cannot continue.
Mr. J. Enoch Powell
Does the Prime Minister realise that hundreds of thousands of her fellow citizens whom she regards as no less British than her own constituents in London are looking to her to defend with courage and visibility their rights and their status?
The right hon. Gentleman is aware that I am to see leaders of the Unionist parties next week, and the SDLP after that. I hope and believe that people who are completely Unionist in Northern Ireland will accept the decisions of this House.
Mr. Hickmet
Will my right hon. Friend comment upon Anglo-Turkish relations following the visit of the Turkish Prime Minister? Does she agree that Turkey is progressing satisfactorily towards a restoration of full political and human rights? Does she further agree that Turkey is committed to a just and fair solution for both communities in Cyprus?
We had very good talks with the Turkish Prime Minister. He is taking enormous strides towards improving human rights in Turkey. We discussed briefly the situation in Cyprus and we both hope that both parts of Cyprus, which is a present artificially partitioned—I hope not permanently—will co-operate with Mr. Perez de Cuellar in seeking a satisfactory future for Cyprus as a unitary, although federal, state.
Dr. Owen
Will the Prime Minister now take action about the distressing case of the teachers' dispute? Will she accept that, although the Education Bill published today contains many worthwhile things, the Government nevertheless expected to build on the ACAS proposal in England and Wales and produce a quantified offer for Scotland?
As the right hon. Gentleman is aware, processes under ACAS are continuing with the unions which are party to that agreement. A decision about the attitude of the NUT will have to be taken by the NUT. We will know more in a few days' time. I hope that the right hon. Gentleman will welcome the Education Bill and the increased powers that it gives to parents in school governorship.
Mr. Gale
After reflecting on the talks that she had with the Turkish Prime Minister, can my right hon. Friend tell us when the property stolen by the Turkish army of occupation in northern Cyprus will be returned to my constituents who own it?
I am not able to give my hon. Friend the information that he seeks. We shall, of course, take up any specific case.
Q2. Mr. Meadowcroft
I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply that I gave some moments ago.
Mr. Meadowcroft
Many of us who have expressed anxiety about increasing American involvement in British industry are not motivated by anti-American sentiment. We are simply deeply worried about what is happening to British Leyland, to Westland and to large parts of our computer industry. What is happening will inexorably ensure that crucial decisions about the character and development of British industry are be made in the United States. Will the Prime Minister sit back and let that happen?
Britain invests abroad and British companies go abroad on a very considerable scale. When they invest in the United States—ICI has made a considerable investment in Beatrice Chemicals, amounting to about £700 million—I believe that they are welcome and that there is no anti-British feeling there. I fear that some anti-American feeling has been aroused. I fear that some has been aroused deliberately about the future of British Leyland. All bids are being considered, but we are concerned about the future of the whole of British Leyland and trying to get it privatised.
Q3. Mr. Hannam
I refer my hon. Friend to the reply that I gave some moments ago.
Mr. Hannam
Has my right hon. Friend taken notice of the Vickers employee consortium proposals for the buy-out of the shipyards at Barrow and Birkenhead? Is she further aware of the local communities' involvement in the proposals? In view of the success of the National Freight Corporation workers' buy-out, will my right hon. Friend confirm that it is still the Government's policy to encourage the wider ownership of British industry?
The answer is yes—to further privatisation and to the encouragement of wider ownership. We shall, of course, consider that bid along with all of the others for that shipyard.
Mr. MacKenzie
Is the Prime Minister aware that we have just heard the figures that she gave for taxpayers' assistance to British Leyland? Is she aware that some of us cannot for the life of us understand why the Swedes, the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians and the French—indeed all our competitors—give much more assistance to their motor car industries than we do to ours? We cannot understand why Britain will not help its motor car industry as do our competitors.
I do not believe that other countries are giving more assistance than has been given to British Leyland. I stress once again that taxpayers' grants and guarantees amount to every family giving £200 in assistance to British Leyland and, alas, British Leyland is still in a loss-making condition.
Q4. Mr. Nicholas Winterton
Mr. Winterton
Will my right hon. Friend assure those of us who openly and honourably disagree from time to time with Government policy, but do not question her courageous leadership or her determination to restore the economic and political power of the United Kingdom, that she will continue to respond robustly to the hypocritical, irresponsible, carping cant of the Opposition parties and lead the Conservatives into a third successful general election?
Yes, on the same excellent policies that secured the first two victories.
Now that the Prime Minister, as she showed in a recent broadcast, has become deeply concerned about the low-paid and levels of taxation, will she take the necessary steps to abolish the poll tax? [Interruption.]
Order. This is the first opportunity that the hon. Gentleman has had to ask a question of the Prime Minister today.
Is she aware that the poll tax means that the poor will pay for the rich? Is she further aware that a wealthy couple can buy a £500,000 house in Dulwich and be relieved of paying £3,000 in rates in exchange for a few hundred pounds in poll tax, and that pensioners will have to pick up the bill? Why does she not put her money where her mouth is?
There is not a poll tax. What we have proposed is a community charge, which would be rebated. I note that the hon. Gentleman supports a system under which many people pay nothing to local rates but put [column 478]up public expenditure. We would not approve such a system. I note that the hon. Gentleman wants a system which would go in for a rating revaluation, and all the injustice that that would mean.
Q5. Mr. Temple-Morris
Mr. Temple-Morris
Is my right hon. Friend not seriously concerned at the escalation of fighting in the Persian Gulf and, not least, the reported shooting down of an Iranian civil airliner by Iraqi jets this morning? In connection with all this, will my right hon. Friend confirm that we are not supplying arms or military equipment to Iran, or, for that matter, to Iraq? Will she do her utmost, in conjunction with our allies, to limit, if not finish, this fighting and this unfortunate war?
I am aware of that tragic incident this morning, but I have nothing further to report about it. We do not know anything more about the passengers who were on board. We do everything possible in connection with any reconciliation or any mediation in the Iran-Iraq war. There is no shortage of efforts. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find a solution. We do not supply equipment which would exacerbate the conflict, and we will do everything possible to try to bring it to an end.
Mr. Merlyn Rees
Given the reaction to the so-called Anglo-Irish agreement in the Province, the boycotting and non-co-operation that is taking place in the Province, the reports last night of disaffection in the RUC, the newspaper reports—but newspaper reports only—of calls from an elected representative to take over the Parliament building at Stormont, leading to UDI, and the report of an Ulster workers' strike on 3 March, should not the Government make a statement on this? The discussion is taking place elsewhere but not here, and we have not even had a report on the Prime Minister's meeting with the Dr. Garret FitzGeraldTaoiseach yesterday. There are five private notice questions in the Dail. It matters to us here as well as to the people in the south of Ireland.
The Taoiseach and I discussed the Anglo, or United Kingdom-Irish agreement yesterday. We pointed out that we both believed that it must be implemented. We shall do all in our power to implement it. We shall do everything that we can to reassure Unionist opinion and to have structures for consultation with them. We hope that the SDLP will soon honour its commitment to enter into talks about devolution, which, of course, would put much more power into a devolved Assembly, and much less to the Intergovernmental Conference. We also hope for increased security co-operation across the border. We welcome very much the decision of the Taoiseach to sign the European convention on the suppression of terrorism.
