My name is Steve, I live in Adelaide, South Australia, I am a curry lover who has come here to learn how to make nice curries, I have taken the first step already and made a base gravy I learnt from here, the Saffron base gravy, so now to to around for some recipes to use it on.
A question please, I will need to freeze some of this as I have a lot, is it ok to freeze ? and how much, would around 200ml per container be ok ?

Welcome aboard, Steve — you are the second Aussie to join this week ! Base will freeze without difficulty, but do make sure you homogenize it first otherwise each curry you cook may be unintentionally different. I would recommend 300ml rather than 200, possibly even 350 — once you have made a good few curries you will learn from experience how much base each is likely to require.
Ok, thanks Phil, but what do you mean by homogenize it first ?, how do I do that at home ?
Use either a stick blender or a jug blender and mix it all up until the oil content emulsifies. If you don't do that, much of the the oil content (which will otherwise float on top, but carries most of the flavour) will go into only the first few containers (assuming that you have made about two litres), and after that the others will receive primarily the aqueous content which provides texture rather than flavour.
Ok, no worries, thanks for the advice.
I'm an Aussie, but from the East on the NSW Central Coast and I've been a member here for just over 5 years. As Phil points out, you are the second to join this week. You will find all you want to know here.
As for the base you've made, you will be able to use it for just about any curry you choose. Some would say that different base recipes are matched to a particular set of finished dish recipes and they would be correct. However, it shouldn't stop you from using any base with any dish. The result may be different to the intended outcome, but if you do it well, you should still end up with a good curry. To a point, any good base should be a near neutral, mildly spiced, thin gravy. A blank canvas to turn into whatever dish you want.
If you read my recent comments from making a half batch, you'll notice I felt it was too thick in the final boil and the oil would not separate (indicating completion). I added more extra liquid than the original recipe called for. Half quantity called for an additional 500 ml of water after blending. I used that, added extra in in small doses as it boiled and I skimmed the scum, but then found I still needed to add another 600 ml to get the oil to come out. I ended up using the additional water for the full quantity but with only half the other ingredients. You could freeze it in the pre-water stage to save room in the freezer and add the extra water just before you use it, This thickness could be due to the inclusion of the potato or even the type of potato. You could easily leave it out or reduce the amount used.
As odd as it sounds, the base gravy should be really thin and you add it in small increments, cooking it off before adding more until you've used the amount the recipe calls for (or to your own preference). This process of cooking the base away and adding more, allowing it to actually cook (caramelise but not burn) on the pan is the flavour. Another thing to be aware of is that typical BIR curries are apparently much wetter than we are used to here on the other side. I can't say for sure having never been but some British members have been out here. Perhaps the other new Aussie will know more having lived in the UK for a while. You wont find many glowing reports on Aussie curry recipes on this site. The expats out here don't rate them at all which makes me wonder what we're missing.

This could be due to the inclusion of the potato or even the type of potato. You could easily leave it out or reduce the amount used.
As for oil rising, probably not absolutely critical and it should be fine as it is. Oil separation is a well known indicator of any base gravy being "done", but you aren't the first to have this problem with this recipe. It won't make it unusable at all. Of course it makes it impossible to skim off excess oil and this is a fairly oily base. You can skim oil off after the final dish is done in the pan if you think there is too much. It will definitely separate in this stage. I wouldn't cook it again unless you are keen to actually see it happen, in which case it won't do any damage. You may even find some oil has come out while in the fridge overnight. You'd need to blend that back in if your not going to use all of it, as Phil said. I've been adding more to my previous post above (as you replied) about freezing in smaller quantities without oil separation to save room in the freezer. This is common practice. I'm not used to having anybody in a close time zone.
I used a lot of extra water / stock to get it to occur and the final stage in the recipe says to boil for 30 minutes after blending. That should be fine, but I think I ended up doing more like 90 minutes before really diluting it out and getting the oil to come up.
I'll have to cook curry today as I still haven't used any of the base I made 4 days ago and the pre-cooked chicken is still in the fridge. It's today or freeze it all. It's predicted to be 36'C here today so I'll be indoors most likely. East Coast Low last week then 36'C today, bushfires in Qld, floods here and snow in Tassie last week. Crazy weather.
I'm a newbie here too, joined a few days ago & am amazed at the knowledge to be found within the site and helpfulness of other members.
I came over to Australia 16 years ago. At that time getting hold of any ingredients bar Sharwood's pastes were near impossible (I was out in the back of beyond though). Nowadays its much easier, especially where I've moved to. I truly miss the BIRs in the UK. I cooked Chewy Tikkas chicken Madras last night witch turned out really really good! I used the base gravy quite thick to emulate the British style of Indian cooking.
I have never tasted curries from the BIRs in the UK, but they are legendary, so was excited when I found this forum.
Lucky for me in Adelaide there are Indian supermarkets everywhere, I have a great one a street away and have bought lots of spices from him in the last few weeks, in fact the first time I went there the Indian worker gave me a recipe to try lol, I cooked it that night, was delicious.
Yesterday I made the Saffron base gravy and use some of it it tonight in a Chicken Rogan Josh curry which I got the recipe from here. Man it was so yummy.
Thanks everyone for being so friendly and helpful towards me. I know I am going to enjoy my stay here and learn lots.

The Philippines, with its 7,641 islands, has a total population of approx. 108 million. The country relies heavily on the imports of fossil fuels to meet its energy needs. To further support the growing industrialization of the Philippines, the Department of Energy (DOE) is formulating a responsive and dynamic energy mix, as well as establishing the local reserve requirements. In terms of renewable energy, the Philippines is targeting 20,000MW RE Installed capacity by 2040. The plans, regulations and reforms are stated in the Philippine Energy Plan 2018-2040. The National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) has identified the Renewable Energy Potential capacity of the Philippines showing solar energy leading at 13,217.7MW followed by hydropower at 12,880.6 MW and wind is at 4,007.7 MW. Policies were recently rolled out to encourage the development of renewable energy projects in the country. The Philippine government is preparing to launch the largest stimulus program in the country's history – the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Act (CREATE). Its performance-based fiscal incentives, will steer private capital towards new investments in renewable energy.
In 2019, the Philippine Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (Republic Act 11285) was signed into law which may open opportunities for Danish companies offering expertise and technologies on energy-efficiency.

70 Google Maps Images That Show How Much Lafayette Has Changed
JayCee Published: May 23, 2021
Here are 70 images from Google Maps that show just how much the landscape of Lafayette has changed over the years.
See the photo above? That's the Sonic on Kaliste Saloom, across from Louisiana Hot Stuff. Yes, there is a whole new shopping center now, sitting on top of that field. I found this on Google Maps, using the Street View feature.
I found out today that you can change the date on Google Maps to see photos that were taken years ago by the Google Street View car. Google Street View came out in 2007, taking photos on the streets of San Francisco. Within a year, that Google Street View car started racking up miles (I know there's more than one, silly), and now you can get street view images from most streets in major cities, and many of the streets in the 'burbs and smaller towns.
If you'd like to do your own exploring on Google Maps for your town, it's easy to compare the most recent photos available with the earliest photo available. Just go to Google Maps and center the map on where you want to explore. Then, in the bottom right corner, find the Google Street Dude (that dude is yellow), and drag him onto the map.
John Falcon
As you hold him over the map, you should see (at least some of) the streets turn blue. If the street turns blue, it means that the Google Street View car has mapped that road.
Drop the Google Street Dude onto the blue street where you want to explore and the most recent Google Street image should appear. I dropped it on Jefferson Street in Lafayette and BOOM!!: just like that, I was at Tsunami!
To find an earlier photo from that same location, click on the Street View button in the top left box on the Google Maps screen (circled in red, below).
When that menu drops down, it will give you a timeline of all photos available for that location, listed by the year the photo was taken. This particular location on Jefferson Street was photographed several times between 2008 and 2019.
Click on any one of the dots and it will bring you to the next photo that was taken from that location and, as you can see just above the dots in the photo above, it will give the month and year the photo was shot.
I hope you find something interesting to explore and share with us anything cool you find!
In the meantime, here are 70 images from Google Maps that show just how much Lafayette has changed.

Атанасиос Хадзопулос, известен като капитан Макрис (), е гръцки революционер, деец на гръцката въоръжена пропаганда в Македония от началото на XX век.

Биография
Хадзопулос е роден в 1885 година в берското село Свиница, тогава в Османската империя, днес заличено, или в Либаново, днес Егинио. Най-възрастният син е на Фотиос Хадзис, старейшина на Свиница с голям имот. Спечелва прякора си Макрис, Дълъг, поради големия си ръст. Учи в началното училище в Свиница до затварянето му поради действията на българските чети. След това се премества в Колиндрос, където прекарва по-голямата част от живота си. Там той се жени за Кириаки (Кириакуло), с която имат един син Василиос. Участва в Гръцкото четническо движение в Македония в 1896 година. През 1900 година съпругата му умира и той заминава за Атина. След това се връща в Колиндрос и се жени втори път за Елени (Ленко), с която имат три дъщени Мария (Марика), Анти (Антица) и Панайота (Панагица).

През 1903 година се създава гръцки революционен комитет в Колиндрос, в който се включва и Хадзопулос. Той последва Павлос Мелас в Западна Македония до смъртта му в Статица през 1904 година. В отряда на Мелас приема псевдонима капитан Макрис и става командир на чета, в която влизат Димитриос Полизопулос, Петрос Кохлидис, Сотирио Папурас, Аристидис Гагакас и Василиос Цицилас. След смъртта на Павлос Мелас Атанасиос Хадзопулос сътрудничи на Телос Агапинос в района на Ениджевардарското езеро, където отговаря за доставката на снаряжения и боеприпаси и за координирането на мрежата от информатори и агенти в региона. Боеприпасите са сваляни във Вромери и Макриялос на брега на Солунския залив и оттам са транспортирани към района на езерото. През 1906 г. Хадзопулос с четата си взима участие в няколко последователни битки в Централна Македония. Близо до Негуш, след три часово сражение, българите са принудени да отстъпят и членовете на пробългарските партии в Копаново, Долно Копаново и Голо село са ликвидирани. В друга битка в Яворница Хадзопулос се притича на помощ на Михаил Анагностакос, докато в битката при Хондросугла, близо до Негуш на 1 април 1906 година се притича на помощ на Емануил Кацигарис, който по време на прехода си от Негуш в Бер е заобиколен от 600 османски войници. Гърците успяват да пробият кордона, оставяйки след себе си 13 мъртви, сред които и помощникът на Хадзопулос Томас Гольовас от Колиндрос.

През февруари 1907 година Атанасиос Хадзопулос поема от Аграс сраженията в езерото, тъй като Аграс се оттегля в Негуш и отсъства координация между гръцките чети. След уреждането на нещата в езерото, Хадзопулос предприема действия в Каракамен, в района на Ранци. При новините за убийството на Аграс от българите, Хадзопулос се връща в района на езерото. Заминава за Владово, за да погребе трупа му. След това убийство духът на гръцките четници пада и много захвърлят оръжието и заминават за Гърция. Хадзопулос си сътрудничи с Николаос Думбиотис, капитан Аминтас, който току-що е пристигнал в Македония. Така на 15 юни 1907 г. Хадзопулос и Думбиотис се сблъскват малко извън Негуш с османска част, която принуждават да отстъпи. Двамата действат в Негушко и Берско до Младотурската революция в 1908 година. Тогава след обявената от султана амнистия Хадзопулос слиза с четата си в Колиндър и се установява от съображения за сигурност в Колиндроския манастир. Преследван от младотурците обаче заедно с Думбиотис през Олимп бягат в Гърция.

След осемнадесет месеца в 1910 година Хадзопулос отново заминава за Македония и създава нова малка чета от свои съселяни и действа заедно с Гоно Йотов и Лазар Доямов в района на Ениджевардарското езеро, като отново действат в Урумлъка срещу възстановените български чети и османските власти.

По време на Балканската война с четата си подпомага гръцката армия. Участва в битката при Енидже Вардар и в овладяването на Солун. Османските части са събрани под командването на Хасан Тахсин паша западно от града, на източния бряг на Вардар. Хадзопулос, който познава много добре района иска от главнокомандващия принц Константинос 40 евзони и две оръдия, с всички лодки, които успява да намери, пресича делтата на Вардар и обстрелва с оръдията османските войски в тила. По този начин, османската армия е принудена да се оттегли, мислейки, че е сериозно застрашен тилът ѝ. Награден е от принц Константин със 100 златни лири.

След анексията на Македония от Гърция, се заселва в Либаново и работи първоначално в чифлика на турчина Ибрахим Джеваир. След изселването на турците през 1922 година работи в чифлика на Леопулос и по-късно, когато той е отчужден, отива в Милово, където работи в имението на Нацкас. Умира в 1936 година и е погребан в Колиндрос по негово желание. Удостоен е с ордени и медали, но отказва пенсия като заявява: "Борих се за освобождение и процъфтяване на родината ми. Родината се освободи, аз наградата си я получих".

El Juramento del Juego de Pelota (en francés: Serment du Jeu de Paume) fue un compromiso de unión presentado el 20 de junio de 1789 entre los 577 diputados del tercer estado para no separarse hasta dotar a Francia de una Constitución, haciendo frente a las presiones del rey de Francia Luis XVI.

Con el pretexto de unas reparaciones que debían hacerse en la sala del leHôtel des Menus Plaisirs, en la que se celebraban las sesiones de los Estados Generales de Francia, la guardia impidió que los diputados del tercer estado se reunieran allí el 20 de junio de 1789. Los diputados entonces se reunieron en la sala del jeu de paume de Versalles. Con la ayuda del diputado Jean-Joseph Mounier, el abate Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès se compromete a redactar la fórmula del célebre juramento del Jeu de Paume:

Este texto fue leído por Jean Sylvain Bailly, y el juramento fue votado por unanimidad, excepto por una voz, la de Joseph Martin-Dauch. La Asamblea Nacional se declaró Constituyente. Fue este un acto determinante y una afirmación política de autodeterminación del pueblo llevada a cabo por sus representantes, y fue considerado como el nacimiento de la Revolución francesa.

La sala del jeu de paume (en francés, juego de pelota) se llamaba, antes del 20 de junio de 1789, "Tripot", y fue construida por Nicolas Cretteé en 1686 a fin y efecto de que los miembros de la Corte se distrajeran jugando al jeu de paume, un precedente de juegos de pelota como el tenis y la pelota vasca.

Cuadro de David

Para celebrar el acontecimiento, los parlamentarios jacobinos (Sociedad de los Amigos de la constitución) encargaron un año después a Jacques-Louis David plasmar el juramento. Pero para 1793 sólo tenía el esbozo del cuadro, y la convulsa vida política francesa había cambiado lo suficiente como para no identificarse demasiado con la obra.

Mirabeau, en el cuadro de pie a la derecha tapando al hombre que reza, uno de los héroes de 1789, estaba considerado entonces enemigo de la Revolución al descubrirse su correspondencia secreta con el rey en verano. Para la opinión pública, un traidor. Así, un gran número de diputados del Congreso constituyente fue identificado con las facciones enemigas del Gobierno de Salvación Pública, por lo que David abandonó la obra. Sin embargo, uno de sus discípulos se propuso acabarla a partir del esbozo realizado por su maestro.

El pintor procuró representar a la vez los hechos históricos con fidelidad, así como la exaltación. Para simbolizar el sentimiento de unanimidad hace converger hacia Bailly la mirada y los brazos de todos los diputados presentes, el cual levanta un brazo para intentar silenciar la multitud y leer la declaración en el izquierdo. Centrados y en primer plano se representan tres clérigos abrazados, uno de ellos cartujano y otro protestante, sacralizando, infructuosamente, el acto, así como representando la tolerancia. En el cuadro se reconoce también a Robespierre, primer plano a la derecha, de pie y con las manos sobre el pecho. La parálisis del único opositor al juramento, el diputado del tercer estado Martin-Dauch, sentado a la derecha del todo, se contrae ante el entusiasmo general. Otros detalles son, por ejemplo, el señor vestido de blanco tras Robespierre, Dubois-Crancé, no relacionado con la revolución pero amigo del artista, caso similar al de sus hijos, en la primera ventana a la derecha.

David se ocupa también de dibujar las caras en detalle para que cada protagonista pueda ser reconocido individualmente. Los participantes en este día adquieren así la figura de héroes nacionales. El pintor dibujó en las anchas ventanas la presencia del pueblo, simbolizando el apoyo del pueblo al juramento. Las cortinas flamean, representando el viento de la revolución que surca Francia.

Boeing has awarded subcontracts to Lovitt Technologies Australia and Ferra Engineering, identified by Boeing's Office of Australian Industry Capability (OAIC), to develop and deliver parts and assemblies for the P-8A Poseidon maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
Under the $1.85m subcontracts, Lovitt will develop mission systems parts and assembly fabrications, while Ferra Engineering will deliver internal and external airframe parts and assemblies to support various Boeing P-8A flight and mission systems.
In 2011, Boeing was awarded two low-rate initial production (LRIP) contracts by the US Navy for the supply of 13 P-8A aircraft, which also includes the provision of spare parts, logistics and training devices, as well as providing aircrew and maintenance training.
"The surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft design is based on the next-generation 737 aeroplanes and can also be used to conduct broad-area, maritime and littoral operations for the navy."
Armed with torpedoes, depth charges, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and other weapons, the P-8A long-range anti-submarine warfare aircraft has been designed to support shipping patrols and engage in electronic intelligence.
The surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft design is based on the next-generation 737 aeroplanes and can also be used to conduct broad-area, maritime and littoral operations for the navy.
Capable of operating with the broad area maritime surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle, the P-8A aircraft features an upgraded APS-137D(V)5 maritime surveillance radar and signal intelligence SIGINT system.
The US Navy is currently using the first production aircraft for crews training at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, while the second aircraft was delivered recently.

Q: Strange behavior of CreateDialog's WindowSize option Compare the two dialog windows, created by the same code except in the first WindowSize has a value while I omit it in the second one. Note, that CreateDialog (and especially its default option WindowSize -> All) can lead to unexpected behaviour.
DynamicModule[{switch = 1},
  CreateDialog[
   DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Dynamic@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"],
   WindowSize -> {200, 100}]];

DynamicModule[{switch = 1},
  CreateDialog[
   DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Dynamic@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"]
   ]];

While the value of the WindowSize option is recognized and used on the left, any explicit value prevents the evaluation of the dynamic content (be it a number, list of numbers, Automatic, Full, etc.). The same behavior is experience if Module is used instead of DynamicModule. Is it a bug? I need a workaround that works with a fullscreen window (i.e. WindowSize -> Full), any idea?
1. Update
Even more strange is the workaround that I've found by eliminating part of my code, expression-by-expression. I ended up with the following stripped piece:
DynamicModule[{a = 1, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k},
  b = Plot3D[Join@{x, y}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

which correctly produces the dialog on the left, while (and this is the strangest bug I've ever experienced in Mathematica so far) when I comment out any part of this code it results in an unevaluated Switch in the dialog window (on the right)!

Below are some examples, that obviously should not change the output, but they do, and are producing the above right dialog. I think this behaviour has something to do with the parsing of DynamicModule, but I am quite clueless...
DynamicModule[{a = 1, b(*,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k*)},
  b = Plot3D[Join@{x, y}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

DynamicModule[{a = 1, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j(*,k*)},
  b = Plot3D[Join@{x, y}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

DynamicModule[{a = 1, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k},
  b = Plot3D[(*Join@*){x, y}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

DynamicModule[{a = 1, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k},
  (*b =*)Plot3D[Join@{x, y}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

DynamicModule[{a = 1, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k},
  (*b=Plot3D[Join@{x,y},{x,0,1},{y,0,1}];*)
  b = Plot3D[x, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}];
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a, 1, "A"], WindowSize -> {200, 100}]
  ];

Each of these were tried with a fresh kernel, without any user package loaded.
2. Update
The following example shows that the variable a displayed in the dialog has no initial value in spite of defining it two times (note however that the Initialization code is not evaluated at all, you can make sure about that by putting any Print in it):
DynamicModule[{a = None},
  Print[a];
  CreateDialog[{
    Dynamic@a,
    Dynamic@Switch[a, True, "A", False, "B", None, "C"],
    (*Checkbox@Dynamic@a*)
    }, WindowSize -> {200, 100}],
  Initialization :> (a = None)
  ];

None

Thus a has a value (None) inside the DynamicModule but not inside the dialog. Uncommenting the commented line proves that the a displayed in the dialog is not the same as the a being locally defined in DynamicModule:
DynamicModule[{a = None},
  Print[a];
  CreateDialog[{
    Dynamic@a,
    Dynamic@Switch[a, True, "A", False, "B", None, "C"],
    Checkbox@Dynamic@a
    }, WindowSize -> {200, 100}],
  Initialization :> (a = None)
  ];

None

that is: still printing None as the value of the DynamicModule-a, but displaying False as the dialog-a, which is the default value that Checkbox assignes to a variable without any value.
To conclude: a dialog does not necessarily inherit the variables of its enclosing (Dynamic)Module.
Printing Dynamic@a instead of simply a helps, as it forces the front-end to claim the dynamically displayed a of the wrapping module. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
DynamicModule[{a = None},
  Print[Dynamic@a];
  CreateDialog[{
    Dynamic@a,
    Dynamic@Switch[a, True, "A", False, "B", None, "C"],
    Checkbox@Dynamic@a
    }, WindowSize -> {200, 130}],
  Initialization :> (a = None)
  ];

**3. Update: **
The purpose of this construction is to design a gui where the displayed content switches according to user interaction. While there might be easier ways to do this, I am now inclined to solve the underlyings of this behavior. The following example uses three "screens" as different contents (first, second, third). Changes made to dynamic controls in one screen should affect other screens (hence the variable x).
DynamicModule[{a = 1, x = .5, first, second, third},
  first := Column@{"First", Row@{"x: ", Slider@Dynamic@x}, Button["Next", a = 2]};
  second := Column@{"Second", Row@{"x: ", Dynamic@x}, Button["Next", a = 3]};
  third := Column@{"Third", Button["Reset x", x = .5], Button["Next", a = 1]};
  CreateDialog[Dynamic@Switch[a,
     1, first,
     2, second,
     3, third
     ], WindowSize -> {300, 200}]];

A: The following works for me with Mathematica 8.0.4
DynamicModule[{switch = 1},
CreateDialog[
globalvar = DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Dynamic@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"],
WindowSize -> {200, 100}]];

However making the variable local to the DynamicModule does not work:
DynamicModule[{switch = 1, localvar},
CreateDialog[
localvar = DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Dynamic@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"],
WindowSize -> {200, 100}]];

It also fails if the variable is localized in a Module wrapping the whole thing:
Module[{localvar},
DynamicModule[{switch = 1},
CreateDialog[
localvar = DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Dynamic@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"],
WindowSize -> {200, 100}]]];

A: Just replacing the DynamicModule in the right place may help...
CreateDialog[DynamicModule[{switch = 2},
  DocumentNotebook@TextCell@Switch[switch, 1, "A", 2, "B"]],
  WindowSize -> {200, 100}];

or (see the comments below)
DynamicModule[{switch = True},
 CreateDialog[TextCell@{Dynamic@Switch[switch, True, "A", False, "B"],
 Checkbox@Dynamic@switch}, WindowSize -> {200, 100}]];

When I was at primary school one of my all time favourite puddings was sponge with pink custard! I absolutely loved the stuff and would easily finished off a second portion of the yummy pink coloured custard. However since leaving primary school I have never seen the stuff again! Did anyone else have pink custard at school? And has any one had it since?
When I saw Lush we're releasing their own pink custard in the form of a shower jelly as part of their Mother's Day range I was super excited. Although I wasn't really sure what to expect, part of me really wanted it to be custard scented but I don't really think washing with a custard scented product would be the most appealing thing. I then thought maybe it would be strawberry scented?
The truth is I was very wrong with either of my two guesses of what it's scent would be. The Pink Custard jelly is in fact a very sweet lavender, Tonka and vanilla scent.
The scent really is beautiful and one I have fallen in love with, the inclusion of golden syrup and vanilla give the lavender scent a really unusually sweetness and makes the scent very unique. If your a fan of twilight I think you would really enjoy this scent although It defiantly doesn't smell anything like twilight.
The consistency of the Pink Custard shower jelly seems to be a little different form any other Lush Jellies I have tried before. It almost seemed a little softer and I did find that it seemed to break up and dissolve away a little faster than others I've tried. Although not totally bad as the new consultancy seems to give a lot richer lather making it much more luxurious.
Overall I have throughly enjoyed the Pink Custard shower jelly. I totally love the scent and hope Lush release some more products with the type of scent and of course I love the name of this product. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this jelly lasts as long as others I've tried however I'm going to pick up another pot to be on the safe side.
If you happen to know where I can buy some edible pink custard from please let me know in the comments!

December 10, 2019 October 2, 2020
This week, I complete my first 90 days at Kaspien. I wanted to write you a quick update on the progress we've made in the company so far, as well as go through some of my plans going into fiscal year 2020.
Let's get straight to it. Over the last 90 days, we've achieved the following:
1. Reenergized Mission Statement
Kaspien's mission is "To be a Brand's Ultimate Online Growth Partner." At Kaspien, we've always been all about the brand. We empower brands to achieve their online growth goals on marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, among others, through our proprietary technology and data, tailored strategies, and mutually beneficial partnerships.
2. Kaspien as a Platform of Software as Services and New Partnership Models
Strategically, we have positioned the company as a platform of software and services – a Marketplace Growth platform. Kaspien is no longer "only" a third-party retailer. We offer a lot more than that. We offer a complete platform of software and services to help brands build their marketplace businesses. Our expertise started on Amazon and now has expanded to a lot more. The platform is available to brands through 3 partnership models:
Software as a Service – For self-serve brands who want to run their own operation, but also want access to technology that is built and used by a top 5 Amazon third-party retailer.
Agency as a Service – For brands who want to keep control of their inventory, Kaspien can serve as an extension of your eCommerce business unit, using our platform to operate your account on your behalf.
Retail as a Service – For brands who are interested in wholesaling their inventory to a top third-party seller to sell on 3rd party marketplaces.
On the software as a service front, we have productized two of our software apps to enhance our software suite that already included our Brand Monitoring app, Perispect. We have been using these tools internally for several years to support brand's growth, and we are now allowing brands to access these apps as SaaS.
AdManager Beta: Our Amazon advertising management application that uses data science and intelligence to automatically optimize ads to achieve a specified objective.
Channel Auditor: Our cost recovery application that identifies money that Amazon owes to you.
On the services front, we've streamlined our service offerings into different categories – Brand Protection, Digital Marketing, Creative Services, and Inventory Management – all of these using our proprietary technology. By doing so, we've made it easier to communicate and understand Kaspien's offerings, removing barriers that could inhibit productive conversations and planning strategy.
We have a strong roadmap of product and service launches in 2020 as we continue to scale our platform, including launching new apps and new service integrations, which will provide our partners with more and better resources for their online strategy. I'm feeling good about a very comprehensive value proposition that we've put in place to help brands grow.
We're also close to launching our first white labeled service on our platform. We will be partnering with various companies to continue building out our portfolio of offerings to ensure brands have the most robust solutions.
3. New Value Chain and Aligned Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing Operations a.k.a. Customer Experience
With a new strategy comes the need to realign our sales and marketing operations. We've created a completely new value chain for how we deliver our value proposition to our partners, designed to ensure that our partners always know all of the solutions available to them. We have a clean organization structure that helps us create and build lifetime relationships with our partners. This is the first step towards the underpinning of a truly excellent customer experience.
4. New Kaspien Website
We launched a completely new website to better showcase our offerings. We've amped our content publishing game through more organic content using different formats – video, audio, short form, long form, etc ., so that our partners are fully up to speed with industry and Kaspien updates.
5. Diversification Across Different Marketplaces
Although Amazon will and always be our primary expertise, we've strengthened our relationship with Walmart. Walmart, we believe, is a key player in the marketplace space. We would like to give our brands this additional growing distribution channel, while at the same time achieve Walmart distribution goals. Going into 2020, we will continue to build upon this relationship by launching additional services and support across our software platform for Walmart.
6. An Aligned Organization
Internally, a lot of change has happened over the past 90 days. Kaspien is now an aligned organization. In addition to clarifying our strategy and the delivery mechanism of our value proposition to our partners, we've:
Created a new cross functional organization structure that separates out core business units from support business units and have established leadership and accountability in every unit. We've introduced a new "General Manager" role, single threaded leaders responsible for the P&L of a business. We introduced a new role called the "Head of Strategic Initiatives" to drive through all projects across the company.
Introduced top down goals that cascade down to individual businesses, aligned bottom up operating plans, quarterly OKRs, an aligned KPI framework, and many other operational processes to keep us humming like a machine. All these borrowed from some of the top organizations of the world. Every individual has clear goals and accountability, and we've put together a recognition program to reward top performing individuals and culture carriers.
7. New Values a.k.a. Leadership Principles
We've introduced new leadership principles that embody who Kaspien is, and we use them as the foundation for how we operate. They are:
Principle # 1 – We are Partner Obsessed
Our customers are our partners. Every decision we make is centered around building and investing in mutually beneficial partnerships.
Principle # 2 – We are Insights Driven
Nothing matters more than insights. We use data to glean insights and to make strong business decisions. Insights are the ultimate decision maker.
Principle # 3 – We are Simple in our Approach
We take the complicated and simplify it. Simplification keeps us aligned and focused.
Principle # 4 – We Innovate on behalf of our Partners
We are ahead of the innovation curve at every stage. We are our partners' incubator.
Principle # 5 – We Deliver Results for our Partners
We set goals, we define targets and measures of success, we launch initiatives, we measure our progress, we mitigate risk, and we deliver results for our partners.
Principle # 6 – We are Owners
We are entrepreneurial minded. We make things happen. We know what's needed to build our business and we execute. We operate with agility and urgency.
From making decisions both internally and for our stakeholders to our rewards and recognition process, everything is based on our leadership principles.
8. New Operational Processes and Business Rigor
We've built upon the processes that Kaspien already had in place to operate the organization even more efficiently. Here are a few examples of new processes put in place over the last 90 days.
Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly Business Reviews for every business across the organization.
Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews with our key partners, and marketplaces – Amazon and Walmart.
Twice-a-year strategic and operating planning, quarterly OKR planning, and monthly OKR reviews.
Improvements to our merchandising operations through Open to Buys (OTB) and better Cash Flow Management.
We've automated many more of our retail operations, making our team much more intelligent in running our day to day. From buying to pricing to optimization, we continue to find areas where we can automate and we've set a high goal in terms of percentage of operational automation. In short, we're allocating our most valuable resources to focus on strategic initiatives that will help build brands on marketplaces.
As we build, test, and refine these tools for automation, we're also making them available to our partners as managed services and self-service software. Our tools are created and proven by sellers, for sellers.
10. Innovation Strategy
We've introduced new processes for us to consistently innovate across the organization. We've borrowed from Amazon's "6 Pager" Working Backwards document for employees to use to put forth their ideas. We've empowered employees to invest in company sponsored hackathons to get projects done quickly.
Overall, I feel good about the progress so far, and I strongly believe that we've positioned the company for growth in fiscal year 2020 . 2020 will be a strong growth year for us as we continue to build out our platform and foster more partnerships with brands.
As already mentioned, 2020 will be a year of growth. We've created an operational infrastructure that can facilitate scale. In 2020, I envision a future as follows:
1. Platform Scale
We will continue to build out our platform of software and services with new added apps and new services all brought together into a consistent experience for our partners. We're currently developing a partner portal where our partners can monitor performance of their brands across different marketplaces. We will also be opening our platform to the developer community for developers to build apps on top of our platform, further enhancing the services available to our partners.
2. Retail Growth
Our retail service will continue to grow. We will continue to relentlessly focus on our retail partnerships, ensuring growth for our brands and distributing them on multiple marketplaces. Our goal is to outperform for all of our brands. Our international footprint will grow as we continue to help brands go international.
3. Agency and SaaS Growth
We will be growing our Agency and Software partnership models. As the marketplace jungle continues to get saturated and competition increases, more brands are looking to take more direct control of their online presence. Our agency partnership model and self-service software empower our partners to pursue their goals, while retaining access to best-in-class tools and services.
4. Intelligent Automation and Operational Rigor
Our platform will become increasingly automated with data science and artificial intelligence, saving time and freeing us to focus more on our partners and big picture strategies to drive greater growth and a better partner experience. We will build upon the momentum over the last 90 days to create a world class organization.
5. Customer Experience Funnel
The Kaspien brand will be synonymous with marketplace growth. We will continue to invest in brand building, content, and inbound marketing. We will have a solid outbound operation backed by an optimized sales funnel using data, insights, and intelligent automation that is working day in and day out with current and potential partners to find them the right solution in the Kaspien portfolio. We will support our partners effectively and provide consistently superb service.
6. New People Focus
We will continue to invest in our employees, who are the life blood of our future. We will be re-imagining our HR function through new leadership and create new programs for employee engagement, onboarding, development, etc. Every Kaspien employee will have a long-standing career at Kaspien.
So that's it. Hopefully this gives you all a sense of where we've been and where we want to go. I hope you are as excited about our future as I am.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, thoughts, or just want to chat. I'm always available.

Accountants may want to note that businesses that fail to document their mileage claims correctly could be losing millions following this year's rise in the rate of VAT, according to GlobalExpense.
The expenses management specialist estimates that £3.5 billion was spent of business travel last year and £1.4 billion of that was accounted for by mileage claims. Mileage claims need to be accompanied by a valid VAT receipt and GlobalExpense estimates that UK businesses were unable to recover £124 million last year due to lost purchase receipts.
The company went on to explain that the rules concerning VAT compliance are complex. Receipts must include the sellers VAT number and show the breakdown of the VAT payment. Fuel needs to be bought on the day of travel, or within a reasonable period before the journey takes place.
Employees made fewer claims for mileage last year even though they travelled an average of 71 miles further per trip. Even so, the average claim increased by 15%.
The Advisory Fuel Rate for private vehicles, set by HMRC, increased 5p to 45p after this year's Budget, but this still lags behind increases at the pumps. Firms can elect to apply this new rate, along with the extra costs it imposes, but employees might feel resentful if they think they are not reimbursed fully for their fuel costs and this could lead them to pad out their claims.
34% of people think it is acceptable to exaggerate expenses if an employer does not reimburse the full cost of fuel and 22% of people claiming expenses are more likely to inflate mileage expenses than any other claim.
How can the government plug a £13 billion black hole?
What would accountants like to see in the Budget?


Do vampires say boo (maybe mwahahaha)? Or do only ghosts say boo? Anyway, this vampire says boo ( I didn't have a stamp that said mwahahahha).
This is a whimsical card for Halloween. I created it using products from several of my favorite stamp companies. Please refer to the list below for all the supplies I used.
I think the results are fun! It only goes to show that you can make a funny card using a variety of products from different brands and they will all come together just fine. I made 15 of these puppies and gave them to family and friends for Halloween.
The silhouette of the tree is a die from Lawn Fawn, while Dracula is from My Favorite Things. The moon was cut using a 1.25" circle punch from EK Success. I was too tired to run a circle die through my die-cut machine, so I used my trusty punch. Sometimes the low-tech approach is the way to go, especially when you want to give your die-cutting machine a rest. The bats flying around were also cut from another EK Success punch that had 3 bats in different sizes.
Anyway, construction of this card was fairly easy. The time-consuming part was coloring 15 Draculas. I used Copic markers to color Dracula, using various shades of cool grays for this. I know Dracula is usually dressed in black, but you lose detail when you color in black and I'm not that adept at coloring with Copics like Sandy Allnock. She is a great teacher when it comes to showing you how to use Copics. I try to be a good student, but a good student does their homework, which I sadly must admit—don't do enough of–but I'm getting there!
Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Love this stamp set Watercolored Anemones by WPlus9 and its matching set of dies. There are many different stamp pieces for each of the individual flowers and leaves. This only gives all the images more depth and dimension if you care to use all the layers.
I have been playing with this set for a while trying to get the hang of layered stamping. I know everyone else is way ahead of me in their layered stamping techniques.I tend to worry that my stamping of the layers is always a little bit off, but I think that is also the beauty of layered stamping.
For this card, I chose to simply focus on layering the flower images. I keep the background foliage simple by only stamping the major foliage image once in a mid-tone green.
This card itself is a pretty straightforward design borrowing from the clean and simple style. The focal point is the flowers which I stamped in pretty pink/pinky coral shades. The flowers are place against a background of leafy bouquet foliage. The flowers have been inked, die-cut and then raised using foam tape to give the focal point added interest and dimension.
A simple birthday greeting from the Altenew stamp set: Birthday Greetings completes the front of the card.
The original card front was 4.25"x 5.5", but was trimmed down to 4" x 5.5". The card front was then matted to the right onto 4.25"x5.5" pinky coral cardstock using 3M foam tape. This in turn was mounted onto a top-folding A2 portrait-oriented card base. Sequins were added in a pink/coral color and a cream color.
Hope you like this CAS card! Have a great day!

For the SSS 's Resist Flickr Challenge #56, I chose to use an embossed resist technique with Distress Inks.
I first stamped my floral images in Versamark ink and then heat embossed the images using white embossing powder.
To create a more autumn look, I used 3 Distress Inks for an ombre effect. The ombre effect was created at a slight diagonal across the card front. I started with Abandoned Coral distress ink in the upper left-hand corner, then blended Squeezed Lemonade and finally Wild Honey to finish midway. I then started to blend using Squeezed Lemonade at a diagonal across the second-half of the card and finished with Abandoned Coral at the bottom right-hand corner. I kept blending and adding more color as needed across the entire front of the card until everything looked blended.
I added sequins in pink and cream to the card as well. These sequins were from my stash, but I think they are from Neat & Tangled.
When I assembled the card, I cut down the card front to 4" x 5.5", and placed 3M foam tape all over the back to raise the panel. I then matted this against an A2-sized piece of cardstock in a cardstock color that picked up the pinky/coral hues in the card front. This in turn was mounted onto a top-folding, portrait-oriented, A2-sized card base.
Hope you like the finished product! Have a great day!

The October, 2016 Ellen Hutson Mix It Up Challenge requires the use of any Pinkfresh Studio product with any Essentials by Ellen product.
I LOVE Pinkfresh patterned papers. Pinkfresh's style is very modern, whimsical and graphic. Their latest patterned paper release, Indigo Hills is a great example of this.
I chose a piece of Pinkfresh's 6×6 patterned paper that had graphic flowers along the bottom of the paper and paired it with Essentials by Ellen's some flower dies from the Wild Garden die set. Several flowers were die-cut from the set and were added to the Pinkfresh patterned paper to further emphasize the graphic flowers on the paper. I used 2 different flower dies from the Wild Garden. For added dimension, I cut each flower three times using WPlus9's Coal Mine cardstock (a charcoal-color) and adhered the three pieces on top of each other to create thicker, chipboard-like flowers.
Since the patterned paper was 6-inches square, I trimmed it down to a 5-inch square. I stamped a sentiment from the Essentials by Ellen sentiment set, Lovely, in the upper right of the square. I then arranged the chipboard flowers onto the card front to fill in the open areas and balance the pattern. I used a glue pen to adhere the flowers. Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Charcoal (4mm and 6mm) were added as well.
I then cut a piece of the same WPlus9 charcoal cardstock to make a top-folding, 5.5-inch square card base. The card front was adhered to the base.
Overall, I really liked the end result. The results looked cohesive. The two different brands and the patterns and elements I chose were very complementary. I loved the use of charcoal and grays in this project.
Stamps: Essentials by Ellen: Lovely (for the sentiment).
Inks: Tsukineko VersaColor pigment ink in Charcoal.
Other: Pretty Pink Posh Sequins: Charcoal (4mm and 6mm); Zig 2-way Glue Pen.
I decide to use SSS Secret Garden stamp set to execute this challenge. I love the sweet little fairy in this stamp set. She stamps beautifully and the details of her flowing gown are so simple and delicate.
To match the delicacy of the fairy image, I decided to use a soft blended background against the other elements in this sketch. To achieve this, I die-cut masks for the fairy and the banner from Inkadinkado masking paper. I placed the two masks on the card front where I wanted my images to be placed according to the sketch. I then created a soft blended background using Tumbled Glass Distress Inks around the masks so that background would highlight the sentiment banner and the fairy.
For the fairy image, I stamped the image on a separate piece of cardstock in Copic-friendly ink (Memento Tuxedo Black) using my MISTI stamping tool. I stamped the image twice to make sure I had a good solid line image. I did the same for the two butterflies.
• Hair: E13 and E17.
Butterflies: Y06 (body), R22 (wings).
After coloring all the images, I die cut them using the dies from the coordinating die-set for the Secret Garden stamp set. I raised and placed the images as you see above on the card front using foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment in the banner area using Versafine pigment ink in Onyx Black.
The original card front was A2-sized (4.25"x5.5"). I cut this down a little so that the final size was 4.00"x5.25". The card front was then mounted onto an A2-sized turquoise colored mat and then mounted onto an A2-sized, top folding horizontal-oriented card base.
The card is soft and sweet just like the fairy image. Hope you like it. Have a great day!

House Republicans Request Government Watchdog Investigate Foreign Investments in American Farmland
by Gabe Kaminsky
More than 100 House Republicans are asking a government watchdog to probe foreign investments in U.S. farmland, including those by China, which they say may present national and food security concerns.
Led by Reps. Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania and James Comer of Kentucky, the lawmakers on Saturday called on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study foreign farmland ownership and how the U.S. government is monitoring acquisitions, a letter shows. There has been an uptick in foreign investments and ownership, which may be "underreported" due to the U.S. Agriculture Department's (USDA) unreliable data, the Republicans say.
The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 requires foreigners with U.S. land to disclose holdings with USDA's Farm Service Agency. USDA's data has been found in the last several years to not fully cover foreign investments.
Foreign investment and ownership of U.S. agricultural land has roughly doubled between 2010 and 2020, the Republicans noted in their letter. Foreign investors were also found in a December 2020 USDA report to hold about 37.6 million acres of agricultural land in the U.S.
Canadian investors were found in the 2020 USDA report to own the largest share of U.S. land — at 32 percent or 12.4 million acres. The Netherlands accounted for 13 percent, Italy at 7 percent, and the United Kingdom at 6 percent, while China held 352,140 acres, or under 1 percent of foreign investments.
"China's ownership of U.S. farmland is a threat to our food security and national security," Comer, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "An affordable, reliable food supply is critical to our nation's well-being and prosperity and we must ensure America maintains control of our nation's resources.
Lawmakers have previously sounded the alarm over Chinese investments in U.S. land. The Republicans in their letter specifically cite one Chinese company's purchase of North Dakota farmland located near a U.S. Air Force base "that is home to top-secret drone technology."
General Atomics, a top defense contractor, said Sept. 20 its confidentiality of weapons at the facility could be breached should it "conduct significant test and evaluation efforts related to unmanned aircraft, radar systems, and other advanced military technologies."
"Concerns have also been expressed that foreign investment in U.S. farmland could result in foreign control of available U.S. farmland, especially prime agricultural lands, and possibly lead to foreign control over food production and food prices," the letter said.
The Republicans are looking for GOA to provide information on how its Farm Service Agency collects data and ensures data reliability — as well as how its data collection methods have changed since reporting requirements began in 1978 with the passage of The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act.
A GAO spokesman told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the watchdog "received" the Republicans' request and will decide within roughly two weeks whether it will probe the investments.

Home / personal injury / auto accidents / airbag injuries
Airbags are supposed to deploy in high-impact cases, and reasonable to expect that some level of injury might occur as part of the unavoidable fact that the airbag doing its job.
However, if an airbag deploys as a result of a low-impact force, then that can be a case of product liability. Pruit v. General Motors Corp. (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1480. But whether or not the airbag was in fact defective, is not something that is within the realm of everyday individuals, as obvious as it may seem.
In Pruit, the Court of Appeal said: "The deployment of an airbag is, quite fortunately, not part of the 'everyday experience' of the consuming public. Minimum safety standards for airbags are not within the common knowledge of lay jurors. Jurors are in need of expert testimony to evaluate the risks and benefits of the challenged design.
Even Pruitt's own expert testified that in designing airbags there are tradeoffs involving complex technical issues. The trial court correctly refused to give the consumer expectations instruction." Pruitt v. General Motors Corp., 72 Cal.App.4th 1480, 1483-84 (Cal. Ct. App. 1999).
But the fact that the airbags deployed, can in fact be a sign that the accident was "high impact", and injury-causing.

State plans insurance protection law for no-deal Brexit
Legislation is to allow UK and Gibraltar-based insurers and brokers to continue to service Irish customers
Thu, Jan 17, 2019, 11:39
Joe Brennan
Even with the plan to limit the impact on Irish insurance policy holders of the UK crashing out of the EU at the end of March without a withdrawal agreement, consumers may be hit in other ways.
The Republic is working on legislation to allow UK and Gibraltar-based insurers and brokers to continue to service Irish customers' policies for a period of up to three years in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking at a risk management and supervisory conference organised by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) in Dublin on Thursday, deputy Central Bank governor Ed Sibley said that his organisation is supporting the Department of Finance as it drafts the laws.
"The draft legislation provides a temporary run-off regime, which will allow certain UK/Gibraltar insurers and brokers to continue to service existing insurance contracts with Irish policyholders in the event of a 'no-deal' Brexit," Mr Sibley said.
"The legislation does not allow these firms to write new business, including renewable of existing policies; it is exclusively for the servicing of contracts - or policies - that were put in place prior to Brexit."
The draft rules are part of a list of up to 60 pieces of legislation that the Government is working on to deal with Brexit. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said before Christmas that he would like to deal with all these items in one omnibus Brexit Bill, but that they may be divided across up to give separate Bills.
Even with the plan to limit the impact on Irish insurance policy holders of the UK crashing out of the EU at the end of March without a withdrawal agreement, consumers may be hit in other ways. The supply of niche insurance products may decline or end altogether, given the increased costs and frictions of servicing EU customers from the UK, Mr Sibley said.
Separately, the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland has said that Irish insurers are getting ready to issue so-called 'green cards' to motorists planning to travel to the UK, including Northern Ireland, from the beginning of March.
In the event of a disorderly Brexit, all motor vehicles travelling between the Republic and Northern Ireland and Britain will need the document to prove they have valid insurance coverage in this jurisdiction. Motorists will need to apply through their insurance companies or brokers a month before travelling in order to get their green cards on time.
Meanwhile, Mr Sibley said from a financial stability prospective, the "cliff-edge risks" of a no-Deal Brexit are now manageable, on the basis of work that the bank and regulated firms have undertaken.
"The Irish banking system is considerably more resilient than it was, and the most significant firms operating in Ireland across all sectors have, in line with our requirements, prepared and are executing contingency plans for a hard Brexit," he said.
"This is not to say that a hard Brexit will not be bumpy for the economy, and disruptive for the financial system, but that it is resilient enough to withstand these bumps."
