Young girl singing 'Let It Go' in a Kyiv bomb shelter becomes a powerful anti-war symbol
Marta Smekhova/Facebook
Amelia wowed the people in her Kyiv bomb shelter with her singing. Now her voice is ringing around the world.
In the second week of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the world watches the coverage of it with horror. We see scenes of bombed-out buildings, streets filled with rubble and debris, and desperate Ukrainians attempting to flee the violence. The beautiful capital city of Kyiv has, so far, remained under Ukrainian control but is being shelled by Russian forces and battles are being waged in the streets.
Some families have fled the city while others have holed up in shelters and bunkers, trying to stay safe. It's a hard reality to imagine, as two weeks ago Ukrainians were just going along, living their lives in the bustling, artsy metropolis, going out to dinner, enjoying walks in the park, meeting up for playdates. Now the very concept of "living life" has been turned upside-down. Now it's literally about survival.
But even in a shelter in a war zone, beauty persists. One of the most miraculous things about human beings is that we create and express ourselves through art, even in the most tragic of circumstances. The arts have a way of rushing our humanity to the forefront, reminding us that we are made not just to exist, but to live full, rich lives.
And when that reminder comes from a child, it's even more potent, which is why a video of a young girl singing in a crowded shelter in Kyiv is being shared widely.
In a video that appears to have been taken by Marta Smekhova, a little girl named Amelia stands smiling in the middle of a room full of people before opening her mouth to sing. As soon as people hear her voice, they fall silent—even a baby who was fussing just seconds before.
According to the Facebook translation of her post shared on March 3, Smekhova had been painting with a boy and a girl in the bomb shelter "to somehow decorate this not so happy place," and the girl was "so friendly, so talkative." The girl, named Amelia, told Smekhova that besides drawing, she loved to sing. Then she whispered that her dream was to sing on a big stage in front of an audience.
"So what's the matter?" Smekhova asked her. "Do you see how many people are here? That's what you sing for!"
Amelia told her it was loud and she wouldn't be heard, but Smekhova convinced her to try. So she did.
From the first word out of her mouth, the people in the shelter stopped to listen. "Everyone put their business aside to listen to a song by this girl who was just beaming light…even men couldn't hold back the tears," she wrote. "Amelia, your singing left no one indifferent."
Indeed, Amelia's sweet, clear voice ringing out touches something inside all of us. In that place and under those circumstances, especially, watching a darling little girl with two missing teeth singing her heart out is heart-rending. It's a powerful reminder of what's at stake in this war—and in any war.
The video has been shared far and wide on social media, including by Idina Menzel, the actress and singer who played Elsa in "Frozen" and sang the iconic theme song.
"We see you," she wrote in her Twitter share of the video. "We really, really see you."
We see you. We really, really see you. https://twitter.com/Ankita20200/status/1500496884255051776\u00a0\u2026
— Idina Menzel (@Idina Menzel) 1646624026
Not that we needed yet another reminder, but Amelia's bomb shelter performance illustrates the real costs of war—the innocent dreams of children, the opportunity to hone their gifts and talents to shine their unique light on the world, the potential wrapped up in every person whose lives get cut short by the guns and the bombs and the insatiable hunger for power.
And it reminds us, yet again, that that cost is far too high.

The need for mead
Mead is back in a big way. Whether the mead- imbibing Game of Thrones characters are responsible is debatable, perhaps it's just because it's a brilliant drink Mead, as we know, is an alcoholic drink made from fermenting honey. Yet, it's a drink that carries the weight of history and has links with ancient myths. It's a drink that weaves its way into the passages of time, in poems and philosophy. It appears in Norse mythology (a lot) and in Beowulf, when it was drunk by Danish warriors. Aristotle discussed mead and – beer geeks should enjoy this irony – so did Pliny the Elder. It was called the 'Nectar of the Gods' and was the drink of choice of English kings. In short, mead was where it was at... until beer took over.

At Beer Hawk, we've started stocking the refreshingly effervescent semi-sweet Gosnell's London Mead as well as a variety of mead from Mab Mead of Wales. Meads worth checking out include Transformation to Eagle, a cyser (a blend of apple juice and honey) rested on cinnamon and myrtle pepper. The Hounds of Annwn is a strawberry and honey mead aged with spice and Madagascar bourbon vanilla pods, while the Four Branches is a dry cyser.

The rise of the Loneliness Economy
A Loneliness Economy has emerged to support – and in some cases exploit – those who feel alone. Tribune
Sep 11, 2020 – 12.00am
It's September 24, 2019. I am waiting, seated at the window, my back against the pretty-in-pink wall. My phone pings. It's Brittany – she's running a few minutes late. "No worries," I message back. "Cool choice of place." And it is.
The effortlessly beautiful, gazelle-like clientele with their fashion-model portfolios under their arms hint at just how hip Cha Cha Matcha in Manhattan's Noho district feels.
A few beats later, she arrives. Long-limbed, athletic, her smile widens as scanning the room I come into her gaze. "Hey, love your dress," she says.
At $US40 ($56) an hour I'd expect no less. For Brittany is the 'friend' I have rented for the afternoon from a company called Rent-a-Friend. Founded by New Jersey entrepreneur Scott Rosenbaum who had seen the concept take off in Japan, now operating in dozens of countries across the world, its website has over 620,000 platonic friends for hire.
"It's a sign of our times that I can order companionship as easily as I can a cheeseburger with just a few taps on my phone," says author Noreena Hertz.
This wasn't the career path Brittany, a 23-year-old small-town Floridian, had intended when she had won her place at Brown University. Yet having been unable to secure a job in environmental science (the subject she had majored in), and anxious about her levels of student debt, she explains her decision to rent out her company as a pragmatic one, her emotional labour as just another monetisable string to her bow. When she's not renting herself out – on average she does so a few times a week – she helps start-ups with their social media postings and offers executive assistant services via Task Rabbit.
Before we met up I was pretty nervous, not sure if 'friend' was covert speak for sexual partner or even if I'd recognise her from her profile picture. But within minutes I felt reassured that this is friends-without-benefits territory. And over the next few hours, as we wander around downtown Manhattan chatting about #MeToo, her heroine Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and at McNallys about our favourite books, at times I even forgot I was paying for Brittany's company. Although she didn't feel like an old friend, she did feel like a fun new prospect.
But it is at Urban Outfitters on Broadway that she really ramps up the charm, just as the meter on our encounter begins to run out. Smile now perma-fixed, banter upped, she joshes with me as we rummage through a pile of T-shirts, and gamely joins me in trying on Crayola-coloured bucket hats. Apparently they really suit me. Although presumably she would tell me that whether it was true or not.
I ask Brittany about the others who've hired her, my fellow friendship-consumers. She tells me of the soft-spoken woman who didn't want to show up at a party alone, the techie from Delhi who had moved to Manhattan for work, didn't know anyone in town and wanted company at dinner, the banker who offered to come over with chicken soup when she was sick.
If you had to sum up your typical clientele, what would you say, I ask her. Her answer: "Lonely, 30- to-40-year-old professionals. The kind of people who work long hours and don't seem to have time to make many friends."
It's a sign of our times that I can order companionship as easily as I can a cheeseburger with just a few taps on my phone, that what I call a Loneliness Economy has emerged to support – and in some cases exploit – those who feel alone. But in the Lonely Century, the loneliest century we have known, Brittany's overworked professionals are not the only ones suffering: the tentacles of loneliness reach much further.
Even before the coronavirus triggered a 'social recession' with its toxification of face-to-face contact, three in five US adults considered themselves lonely and one in two Australians felt lonely at least one day a week.
In Europe, it was a similar story. In Germany two-thirds of the population believed loneliness to be a serious problem. Almost a third of Dutch nationals admitted to being lonely, one in 10 severely so. In Sweden, up to a quarter of the population said that they were frequently lonely. In Switzerland, two out of every five people reported sometimes, often, or always feeling so.
In the UK, the problem had become so significant that in 2018 the prime minister went so far as to appoint a Minister for Loneliness. One in eight Brits did not have even a single close friend they could rely on, up from one in 10 just five years before. Three-quarters of citizens did not know their neighbours' names; whilst 60 per cent of UK employees felt lonely at work.
The data for Asia, Australia, South America and Africa was similarly troubling. Inevitably months of lockdowns, self-isolation distancing have made this problem even worse.
If you have music and a partner, you can put all other thoughts out of your mind.
— Kim In-gil, 85
All over the world people are feeling lonely, disconnected and alienated. We are in the midst of a global loneliness crisis. None of us, anywhere, are immune.
In a world in which community had felt ever more elusive yet the craving for belonging had endured, businesses had stepped in to fill the void. Pre COVID-19 the Loneliness Economy had begun to boom – and not only in its technological form – with entrepreneurs finding ever more innovative ways to satisfy people's enduring need for what early 20th-century sociologist Emile Durkheim called 'collective effervescence' – the joyful intoxication we get from doing things with others in person.
In South Korea, it was the lonely elderly population that entrepreneurs spotted an opportunity to serve. There, over the past few years, pensioners have been congregating in daytime discos known as 'colatecs' (cola + discoteque), some of which host as many as 1000 patrons on weekdays, double that at weekends. Entrance is cheap at only 1000 won ($1.18), a fraction of what a club aimed at young people in Seoul might charge.
As we seek to rebuild our post-COVID-19 world, we need to acknowledge the important role entrepreneurialism can play in helping us to do so.
For elderly Koreans, who experience some of the highest rates of poverty in the world for their age group, the colatecs have been a lifeline. "What else would I do all day? My family is busy with work. I hate going to senior centres 'cause all they do there is smoke," explains 85-year-old Kim Sa-gyu. For many, a few hours of dancing a week has done wonders to relieve anxieties about failed businesses, marriages, or their day-to-day loneliness.
"If you have music and a partner, you can put all other thoughts out of your mind," says Kim In-gil, also 85, who lost most of his savings in the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. And for those who are too shy to find a partner, full-time matchmakers facilitate introductions. "Those helpers sometimes take me to a new woman and put our hands together to dance. I buy them a bottle of Will [a locally made probiotic yoghurt] during our teabreaks," says Kim In-gil.
It is likely that COVID-19 will only bring about a temporary halt to this type of interaction. If anything, the desire for face-to-face human connection will be even stronger for many once the fear of contagion wanes. For even though our fear of human contact may persist for some time yet, and despite our increased take up of contactless experiences, only a few years after the 1918 Spanish Flu jazz clubs were packed with people enjoying the music and each other's company, and in Germany the Weimar Republic's decadent bars and nightclubs were heaving with customers by the mid-1920s.
Indeed, when gyms reopened in Hong Kong in May 2020 people queued in long lines to gain access. And in Tel Aviv, yoga studios found themselves so deluged with clients wanting to downward dog in each other's company at the end of the lockdown that they had to institute waiting lists, even whilst still offering classes on Zoom.
The Loneliness Economy clearly took a major beating during 2020, at least in its in-person form, but it would be a mistake to assume that the market for face-to-face community and connection has been dealt a fatal blow by the pandemic. At a fundamental evolutionary level our primordial need for physical proximity and togetherness is likely to prove too strong. Moreover, given how important face-to-face interactions are, as we seek to rebuild our post-COVID-19 world, we need to ensure that we do physically reconnect and acknowledge the important role entrepreneurialism can play in helping us to do so.
Some local businesses become 'third places': neither home, nor work, but rather gathering spaces.
That businesses can deliver community in this way should come as no surprise. After all, we have seen local enterprises play a critical role in nurturing their neighbourhoods for centuries. Think of the corner shops in Victorian England, whose practice of providing goods on credit to locals served as a lifeline for many between paydays. Or how since the turn of the 19th century, barber shops have provided sanctuary for many African Americans: serving as places not only to get haircuts but also community spaces where men gather to play chess and dominoes, whilst also discussing politics and local affairs.
Some local businesses even become what sociologist Ray Oldenburg called in his 1989 book The Great Good Place 'third places': neither home, nor work, but rather gathering spaces abuzz with conversation where regulars meet up and people of different social and economic backgrounds interact, form bonds, exchange ideas and share opinions. These are places where, as Oldenburg wrote, "we all feel at home and comfortable".
They play critical roles in maintaining our social fabric because they are places where we can practise community and democracy, in their most inclusive form – places where, as in a book club, people may bring wildly different world views and lived experiences that must be reconciled, calibrated, understood and discussed in order for the space to thrive. And because the space is important for everyone, people are willing to do that work. Participants have a stake in the space, they're not simply moving through it and are therefore willing to engage, listen and think about the whole, rather than only their own individual part.
The challenge we face, however, is that in the 21st century, many independent local stores that contribute to the social fabric and the building of community are under existential threat.
Local bookshops have historically played this role of key community hubs and would be the kind of businesses that could benefit from such support. Think of Kett's Books in Wymondham, Norfolk, which in 2019 launched a 'One Community One Book' project, essentially a town-wide book group complete with meetings and events. Similarly, Readings Bookstore in Melbourne stays open until 11pm most nights to allow people to browse, chat, get a coffee or attend a free reading from a local poet. Clarke's in Cape Town, with its comfortable lounge, is not only 'a home for books' but also 'a safe house for ideas', having stocked banned books and served as an undercover meeting place throughout South Africa's long, repressive apartheid regime.

Whilst some have lamented the way that contemporary bookshops have had to embrace non-book offerings – gifts, coffee, cakes and performances – as a way to boost takings and compete with online retailers, the books themselves have always been a supporting act to a community bookshop's central promise: to bring people together over ideas, stories, experiences, shared histories, difficult and effervescent truths.
Time and again we see that independent local businesses play an important part in nurturing and anchoring the communities in which they are located. And it was inspiring during the lockdown to see so many local businesses increasing their commitment to community, despite being shuttered and fearing for their own demise.
Private communities can play a role in mitigating this century's loneliness crisis provided their offering is authentic.
This is why it is so critical that we do not allow such businesses to be crushed by the unrelenting growth of e-commerce, and why local high streets must be strongly supported by both citizens and government so that they can survive the double whammy of the digital age and the post-coronavirus economic downturn. If we are to feel part of a community rather than simply live in isolated bubbles, we must appreciate the role local entrepreneurs play in binding us together.
So as well as ensuring that business taxes paid by brick and mortar stores are set at levels that help redress the disadvantage they face vis-à-vis online retailers, we would all benefit from the creation of a new category of business: pro-community enterprises that are eligible for tax breaks, incentives and grants if they deliver on verifiable metrics of inclusivity and help drive social cohesion.
Can a manufactured community ever deliver 'true' togetherness? Or is 'WeWashing' the new greenwashing.
What is fascinating is that in the past few years a distinct new model of business has emerged that doesn't seek to nurture an existing community or forge a new one by connecting people with a shared passion. Instead this emergent model sees community itself as a commodity, one that it is intent on commercialising, a product it can package and sell.
I'm referring here to the rise in commercial co-working spaces, companies with names like CommonGrounds, Work.Life, Convene, Second Home and, of course, WeWork, which at its peak had over 280 locations, spread across 86 cities and over 4 million square metres in real estate. Alongside their Instagrammable venues, ping-pong tables, free-flowing ales on tap and micro-roasted coffee, these businesses wield the promise of community like a sword. Indeed, in WeWork's failed IPO prospectus (the filing a disaster not because of its core premise but because of revelations of profligate spending, erratic decision-making and gross mismanagement) the word 'community' appeared 150 times.
But can a manufactured community ever deliver 'true' togetherness? Or is 'WeWashing' the new greenwashing, the word 'community' no more meaningful than the words 'eco-friendly' on a can of toxic pesticide?
To date the picture has been mixed. For some, they do seem to be making life less lonely.
"I would consider WeWork and co-working spaces the best thing to ever happen to my social life," reported a freelance web developer. When he worked from home, he wrote, his mood was lower and he even found himself feeling tired and getting sick more often – exactly what we'd expect, given what we know about physical health and loneliness. But at WeWork, he says he "went from a rather introverted person to being quite extroverted and growing emotionally".
Others have had similar experiences. Daniel, a software engineer and expat who worked at a WeWork in Paris for a year and a half, credits his co-working experience with sparking a number of real-life, non-work friendships. "When you don't know a tonne of people in the city, it's a good way to meet people, even if you're not working on anything similar," he says.
The trouble is – and this is the challenge these companies need to overcome – that community is not something one can buy, nor is it something that can be imposed by management. It is instead something in which people have to invest time and proactively participate in if it's to thrive. So, however many events a co-living or co-working space curates, however much free food or alcohol they provide, however narrow the corridors (WeWork intentionally designs them as such so that members have to consciously navigate past each other), unless the people who live and work there actually interact with each other in meaningful ways a community will never materialise. Community is predicated on people doing things together, not simply being together or bumping into each other as they pass by. It's the difference between 'being together' and being 'alone together', between an active state and a passive one.
The style of community 'leadership' plays a clear role in determining which of these two states prevail.
And to the extent that co-working spaces can help to alleviate the loneliness of the gig-economy or remote worker, again their pricing structure to date has been such that it's typically only high-earning white-collar professionals who can afford them. At the beginning of 2020, for example, WeWork's lowest-tier hot-desk membership cost between £200 ($365) and £600 a month in London and up to $US600 ($825) a month in San Francisco. That's far outside the realm of possibility for, say, your average TaskRabbiter.
Private communities can play a role in mitigating this century's loneliness crisis provided their offering is authentic and their members are truly engaged. However, at a time when public community spaces are being dismantled, free or cheap places to congregate are ever fewer and many local high streets are being crushed, there is a real danger that community becomes something increasingly accessible only to the privileged. That you will only 'find your soul' if you can pay the entrance fee. That loneliness becomes a disease only the wealthy have the chance to 'cure'. Given that the lonely are already disproportionately worse off financially, this is particularly disquieting.
If privatised communities are not to become another manifestation of hostile architecture – a way to exclude and keep others out – and instead play an active part both in alleviating loneliness for individuals and in reconnecting society more broadly, ensuring that they not only deliver on their promise but also that more people can access and benefit from them is an important challenge for the future.

'Green Book' Is a Poor Attempt to Make Racism Funny
The film isn't just a buddy comedy about a road trip—and it simply misses the mark.
By Doyin Oyeniyi
Frank Anthony ("Tony Lip") Vallelonga (played by Viggo Mortensen) and Donald Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali) in Green Book. Courtesy of NBC Universal
Green Book bills itself as a comedy-drama "based on a real life friendship" between a gifted and refined concert pianist, Donald Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali), and Frank Anthony "Tony Lip" Vallelonga (played by Viggo Mortensen), a nightclub bouncer whom Shirley hires as his driver for a tour through the American South. The movie is directed by Peter Farrelly of Dumb and Dumber and Shallow Hal, and if it were a simple buddy comedy about the hijinks that are bound to happen when you put a pianist and a bouncer on a road trip together, it might have worked. But these aren't just regular guys on a road trip.
Instead, an Italian-American (Tony) and a Jamaican-American (Don) embark on a concert tour through the South in 1962, just a few years after Nat King Cole was assaulted by white men during a concert in Birmingham, Alabama in 1956. The racism of that era is a prominent fixture in the film—the reason Tony is hired as Don's driver is because he needs a white man to intercede for and protect him in the South—and the attempts to draw humor from such a story are often uneven and tone deaf. The film ends up playing racism for laughs.
The movie takes its name from the actual Green Book, a book created by and for black people as a guide to black-friendly restaurants and hotels, designed to make navigating the U.S. during the Jim Crow era as safe as possible. The book could very often be the difference between life and death for black travelers, particularly if they found themselves in a sundown town, as Tony and Don do in the movie. But for the entirety of the film, the Green Book is only ever shown in the hands of white men. It's Tony who offhandedly explains the book to his relatives at the beginning of the trip and Tony who begrudgingly refers to it when Don reminds him that he needs to stay in a welcoming place. As the driver, Tony is responsible for navigating and making arrangements for Don, but this dynamic insures that in a movie about racism, with two supposed leads, the true protagonist is the white man. (After all, the screenplay was co-written by Nick Vallelonga, son of the real-life Tony.)
There are many layers to Don, a black man who values various signifiers of wealth and dignity as a form of protection (when he and Tony first meet, Don is sitting on a throne). That protection repeatedly, tragically fails him throughout the movie. His character tries to address racism through respectability politics, and ends up isolating himself from black people who don't understand him and white people who don't want to understand him. Ali beautifully captures the depth hinted at in Don; one can only imagine the film if the actor had been given more to work with. Instead, the movie is a redemption tour for Tony, who learns that it's wasn't good for him to be racist. Don's lesson is harsher, as he grapples with the reality that nothing he does will protect him from racism, but the movie doesn't spend enough time focused on him for the message to sink in. Instead, some of Don's moments of harsh realization are played off as jokes.
The film sees the story from Tony's perspective, and when it played at the Austin Film Festival, the audience disconcertingly followed his laugh cues. The attempts at comedy are largely uncomfortable, because what was often funny for Tony—and for an unsurprisingly large number of the AFF attendees—were moments of casual racism. Tony largely laughs when Don, an uppity black man, finds himself succumbing to the stereotypes he's tried to avoid. He laughs when a concert host decides to serve Don fried chicken, but not when that same host refuses to let Don use the indoor bathroom. Tony misses how those two incidents come from the same place of ignorance and racism, and judging by the laughter at the screening, much of the audience did, too.
In Green Book, the audience follows the transformation of a protagonist who becomes less racist: Tony changes from a man who put two glasses in the trash after black repairman drank water from them into a man who firmly tells a relative not to call Don by a derogatory term. Yet he's the same man who, during an argument, calls Don prejudiced for comparing him to other white people and tells Don that he's "blacker" than him because Tony is the one who introduced Don to fried chicken and the music of Aretha Franklin. The uneven approach of this movie proves that it's difficult to make racism seem funny. But the audience should be asking a different question: Why would you want to?

Texas Monthly Recommends: A Contemplative, Beautifully Shot Western


A Peruvian brunch at Pachamama? Let's go.
Pachamama was pretty easy to find being located in Marylebone and with the nearest tube station at Bond Street. We headed downstairs to the restaurant, welcomed by the friendly staff and led to a table by the bar. Pachamama is a warm, cosy, kinda homely restaurant, furnished simply with a mish mash of coloured wooden chairs and reclaimed vintage items offering up a relaxed and laid back ambience. With an open kitchen to the right as you enter, there's a bar on the left and the restaurant stretches quite far back with the tables set quiet close together. We had a party of 6 close to our table and there didn't seem to be much maneuverability for the staff – my pet hate is the constant brushing of everyone when walking past our table.
The restaurant serves Peruvian inspired food made from the freshest ingredients sourced from the UK. Cocktails were ordered from the 'Mama's Cocktails' list; Ian chose the sweet and fruity Pachamama whilst I had the prettiest cocktail, Miraflores 😉 Sipping happily on our well chosen cocktails, we continued to browse the brunch menu. The selection was extensive offering sweet and savoury waffles, side dishes, snacks and Pachamama's signature dishes. It would be rude not to order a few items from each section … right?? The waffles were gluten-free and you could choose from either sweet potato or quinoa. Of course, we tried both types of waffle.
We were told, when ordering, that the food would arrive when it's ready – which we thought was pretty obvious – however, both of Ian's dishes arrived at the same time ?? and I was left sitting there with no food! They didn't quite explain that 'ready' meant 'any of the dishes in any order' … which was really annoying and meant Ian had to send one of the dishes back as it was cold by the time he was ready to eat it. The crab and yuca churros were pretty tasty but some people on the table found them a bit too fishy. On the other hand, the cheddar tequeños were so tasty we wanted more. The pork belly chicharrónes were cooked well, very succulent, full of flavour – however we found the sauce was somewhat overpowering.
Ian's dishes of suckling lamb leg and the poached egg and avocado on sweet potato waffle arrived at the same time. The kitchen did make a fresh waffle for him once he had finished the main course. The lamb was soft and fell apart nicely, but we felt that it was a bit bland and lacking something. The sweet potato waffle was a bit stodgy and felt heavy in the stomach. A strange combination of smoked salmon, egg and avocado on a waffle, which we both felt didn't work.
My sweet potato waffle with fried chicken, topped with edible flowers finally arrived and couldn't wait to try this. Alas, this didn't wow me at all – I agreed with Ian in finding the sweet potato waffle fairly heavy. The sauce which topped the fried chicken was a touch on the saltier side too. Such a shame as I had high hopes for this one.
The tempura lemon sole was super delicious … the light, crispy batter coating encasing the fresh, soft flaked fish was cooked perfectly. A pretty and colourful plate of food indeed, beautifully garnished. A posh version of fish n'chips!
The juicy beef patty with pork belly chicharrón served in a soft bun was packed full of flavour and totally scrumptious.
The quinoa waffle with the creamy and ever so delicious toasted quinoa and Peruvian chocolate ice cream, finished off with a sprinkling of cacao crumb was heavenly and not too sweet … this was the ultimate winner! After the first spoonful, we I wanted more.
The succulent and moist chicken served with jerk sauce and ají amarillo mayonnaise was delish and a huge portion too.
We loved the décor and the atmosphere of Pachamama, however we felt a few of the dishes were just average and/or a little flavourless or too salty. Also the fact that any of the food was served when it was ready was a major problem as at one point I was sitting there waiting for my main and everyone else on the table was tucking into theirs 🙁 We couldn't fault the service – the staff were friendly, polite, very attentive and we didn't feel rushed to leave after two hours. It's a shame that the majority of the dishes didn't wow us, considering the price for each dish. I'm afraid we won't be making a return to Pachamama.
Price: Based on four people, we paid £46 per person.
Have you tried a Peruvian brunch? Where would you recommend in London for brunch?
Would recommend Andina or Ceviche for Peruvian food actually. Good to hear I can miss this one!
The food looks really delicious and I am hungry at the moment. The beautiful photos are starving me.
Oh, not a good post to read when you're hungry – now I want to eat all of that! Your pics are beautiful, that food looks absolutely delicious!!!
Really interesting… but made me hungry!! Great job on the info and photos!
I am feeling hungry after reading your elaborate account! Haha! I loved Miraflores Mama cocktail and would love to indulge in the other dishes out there! I shall be visiting London in a few weeks and would definitely check this place out!
WoW I am so hungry after seeing this delicious photos lol.
I've not been to this restaurant but have heard loads of fabulous things about it.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and yummy review.
It looks like a fabulous spot. I will definitely have to visit when I come to the UK. The cocktails sound good as well and I know that I will enjoy them!
Love to read food posts.. quiet interesting one!!
Love Peruvian food – I'm back in the big smoke in September, I'll go and check this out!
The food looks SO good! I really like that they have the gluten-free options. I am with you on the crowded space though. Would really like to eat there when I get to London.
Food posts always make me hungry and yours is no exception. Great photos and if I ever get to London, I want to check it out. Thank you, great post.


Cricket is second only to Rugby as a popular touring sport and, much like the oval ball game, is played all over the world - with its hotspots for touring.
When looking at long haul tours Australia and New Zealand stand out as the almost cricket nirvana with great facilities and, as you would expect, a competitive spirit for every game you play. If you are looking for both a cricket tour and a cultural journey then don't stray too far from either Dubai, India, Sri Lanka or the Caribbean where cricket is a way of life and a religion to those that play. Expect tough games and varying conditions.
If you are seeking destinations on your doorstep then you may be surprised about the amount of cricket tours now available in Europe. Mallorca is one of our more popular destinations where cricket is played year round. So whether it is a pre-season camp or a post season jolly, Mallorca is the perfect destination.


Explore the real-world Westeros. In Northern Ireland, the lush Riverlands lie side-by-side with the Iron Islands, the Dothraki Sea and Winterfell are neighbours and you never know when you might come upon a direwolf. Follow the stories of of the Seven Kingdoms, in Game of Thrones® Territory.
Transport yourself to Westeros – travel through the bewitched forests and ill-fated camps of the Seven Kingdoms, experience Winterfell in the North, and the azure waters of Castle Stokeworth.
Stop over at the quirky Olive Bizarre in Newcastle, and grab a baked creation to start your day out right.
Inch Abbey has quite the history – not only is it a beautiful Cistercian Abbey founded in 1180, it's also where the War of the Five Kings began. The houses of the North took up the cry of "the King in the North!", after learning of Ned Stark's death, spurring his son Robb on to war. Sitting beside the gushing River Quoile, on a clear day you can see Downpatrick Cathedral from the abbey, where St Patrick is said to be buried.
From one legend to another, stop over at the St Patrick Centre in Downpatrick to uncover the saint's fascinating history.
Since the 16th century, the Ward family have called Castle Ward home. But in the Seven Kingdoms, this sprawling demesne has another name – Winterfell, ancestral home of House Stark. Here, you can practice archery in the same spot as Jon Snow, model some authentic Westeros attire and feast on a lavish medieval banquet inspired by the show.
Head to The Cuan Guesthouse for a hearty lunch and marvel at the Game of Thrones® inspired door, depicting scenes from the sixth season of the series. These intricate masterpieces are dotted across Northern Ireland, and were carved from the wood of the 200 year old beech trees at the Dark Hedges.
In the shadow of Castle Stokeworth, Jaime Lannister and Bronn of the Blackwater hatched a plot to retrieve Princess Myrcella from Dorne. Quintin Bay provides the backdrop for this dramatic scene – take a stroll along the immaculate sands below Quintin Castle, which has overlooked this pretty bay since 1184.
Take the ferry across the Narrow, the name for the strip of water between Strangford and Portaferry. From here, take a moment for yourself and gaze out over the tranquillity of Strangford Lough.
Dramatic. It's the only word that can truly capture the Antrim plateau – with windswept plains and basalt outcrops creating a spiny ridge against the sky, it's no wonder this location was chosen to represent the Neck. This craggy landscape is the site of one of the most tense scenes in the show, where Sansa Stark learns from Littlefinger that she is betrothed to the terrible Ramsay Bolton.
Clamber towards Knockdhu, a Bronze Age promontory fort that sits high above the landscape.
Beneath Slemish Mountain, where St Patrick once served as a shepherd, lies the Shillanavogy valley. But this peaceful land is home to some rowdier residents in Essos – in the show, this is the setting for the Dothraki Sea. Khal Drogo rode across this land towards Vaes Dothrak with his new bride, Daenerys Targaryen, and her wicked brother Viserys.
Over millions of years, the Glens of Antrim took shape when Ice Age glaciers carved the landscape into a series of valleys and hills, creating a rich land that is now dotted with pretty villages and areas of incredible natural beauty. Glenariff, a valley of tumbling waterfalls and twinkling forest canopies, is the filming location for Runestone in Game of Thrones®. This is where Lord Yohn Royce takes Robyn Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie, in order to raise him as his ward and where Santa Stark and Littlefinger watch his attempts at duelling.
The Cushendun Caves are over 400 million years old. Found along the Antrim coastline, near the cosy village of Cushendun, they look out over the stony beach and the turbulent sea. In Westeros, these caves are the site of a dark crime. This is where Melisandre summons her shadowy demon beneath Renly's Camp, in order to murder Stannis' brother in the name of the Lord of Light.
Call into the Corner House in Cushendun town for a warming lunch to refuel after a morning of exploring the caves.
Watch out – Murlough Bay is home to slavers! This stunning stretch of shoreline along Northern Ireland's Causeway Coastal Route is where Tyrion Lannister and Jorah Mormont ran afoul of slavers on their way to Meereen. With views out towards Rathlin Island, see if you can spot the Scottish Islands lying in the North Channel.
Take in the breathtaking vista at the Fair Head crag where you can gaze out over the stormy North Sea and look back across miles of verdant green countryside.
Set sail across the seas, and prepare to come in to contact with some of the most fearsome people in Westeros. Ballintoy Harbour, a picturesque port nearby the town of Ballintoy, is also known as Pyke – the home of the infamous Ironborn. This is where Theon Greyjoy arrives in the capital of Lordsport after his many years away as Ned Stark's vassal. Nearby, Ballintoy Beach is where Euron Greyjoy is drowned to become the king of the Iron Islands.
Swing out over the open ocean at the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Erected by fishermen more than 350 years ago, a flourishing fishing industry existed here until the 1960s.
Can you imagine anything more terrifying than fleeing from the Lannisters? But that's just what Arya Stark did, as she escaped down the Kingsroad alongside the Night's Watch. The Dark Hedges provides a superb backdrop for Arya's flight – the beech trees, with their twisting trunks and rustling canopy far above, are over 200 years old. Walk this legendary road, and transport yourself to the Seven Kingdoms.
At the very end of the hedges lies Gracehill House – call in for dinner and a drink, and see another of the Game of Thrones® doors, commemorating Bran's transformation into the Three-Eyed Raven.
The coast of Dorne, the beaches of Dragonstone and the lair of a Lannister fugitive – you'll find all this and more in Northern Ireland.
Two miles of golden sands and gentle lapping waves – that's Portstewart Strand. It was here among the huge sand dunes and clumps of grass, that Jaime and Bronn found themselves captured by Dornish soldiers on the coast of Sunspear, and where Ellaria and her Sand Snake sisters conspired to start a war with the Lannisters.
Get yourself to Harry's Shack in Portstewart – this Georgina Campbell favourite is the perfect place to dine on delectable seafood while you gaze out over the sun-dappled ocean.
Downhill Beach is a stretch of spotless white sands, overlooked by Mussenden Temple, a replica of the Temple of Vesta in Rome. Here, tourists and locals alike converge to watch surfers take on the waves. But this immaculate beach has a darker side – this is where Stannis Baratheon rejects the seven old gods of Westeros. He is proclaimed as the champion of the Lord of Light by Melisandre, and enters Dragonstone into the War of the Five Kings.
Keep your eyes peeled – dragons abound in Binevenagh! This mountain is where Daenerys and her dragon Drogon find refuge in the Dothraki Grasslands after they flee the fighting pits of Meereen. The mountain itself marks the very edge of the Antrim plateau, looking out over County Armagh and County Londonderry. Walk the trail, and take in unparalleled panoramic views that stretch for miles – on clear days, you can even make out the west coast of Scotland in the distance.

Ransomware threat is only getting more dangerous and costly, Symantec report says
By Jonathan Keane	 July 21, 2016
Ransomware is increasing dramatically in price and malice, according to the latest report on the nasty malware from Symantec.
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands a fee, usually a few hundred dollars, for their safe return. Cybercriminals are using the tactic against individuals and businesses alike. Cases of the virus have ballooned since last year and, according to Symantec's Ransomware and Businesses 2016 report, the troubling trend is showing no signs of slowing down.
It found that the average ransomware demand has soared from $294 in late 2015 to $679 currently. Infections are a global phenomenon but the U.S. accounts for 31 percent of cases. The rest of the top 10 is made up of Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, U.K., Canada, Belgium, India, and Australia.
More and varied strains of ransomware, like the CryptXXX ransomware, whose latest version is even tougher to crack, are being written and unleashed online.
Initial ransomware threats targeted individuals (who still account for more than half of all infections), but Symantec speculated that the trend is shifting more and more toward businesses and organizations that can afford to pay more. The services and manufacturing industries have been hit the most.
There have been several high-profile cases of businesses paying thousands of dollars in ransomware demands. In one case, the University of Calgary paid $20,000 to get its files back. This has led to the creation of a viable business model for cybercriminals to exploit. As long as people are willing to pay, they'll get infected. It's been dubbed "ransomware as a service."
"The perfection of the ransomware business model has created a gold-rush mentality among attackers, as growing numbers seek to cash in. Infection numbers are trending upwards, with the number of new ransomware families discovered annually reaching an all-time high of 100 in 2015," said the authors of Symantec's report.
The researchers note that they expect to see cases of ransomware infections move beyond computers and mobile devices as attackers seek to diversify their efforts. They noted the recent discovery of Android malware that was now being used to infect smart TVs. Smartwatches may also be on attackers' radars.
"One worrying potential target is industrial control systems (ICS). There have already been examples of malware attacks against ICS devices, the most famous of which was Stuxnet," the researchers added. "Given the recent emergence of targeted ransomware attacks and the potential for disruption that an ICS attack could cause, it may only be a matter of time before attackers shift their attention to this arena."

An on-orbit antenna issue identified during testing of the ViaSat-2 high-throughput satellite has Boeing and ViaSat searching for answers.
Satellite manufacturer Orbital ATK on Nov. 30 shipped Yahsat's long-awaited Al Yah 3 high-throughput satellite to French Guiana for an Ariane 5 launch now scheduled for January.
British satellite operator Inmarsat says the mobility markets where it does the most business are largely unaffected by today's oversupply of capacity, and in some cases might need even more.
Inflight connectivity provider Gogo is causing sparks to fly over its claim that leasing capacity is superior to owning satellites and that proponents of pure satellite ownership are only promoting ownership models to protect their business.
In the midst of a continuing fleet expansion, Indonesia's state-owned telecommunications company PT Telkom is collocating one of its satellites with an Intelsat satellite over the Asia-Pacific region.
LeoSat is confident that a recent investment by heavyweight Asian satellite operator Sky Perfect Jsat in the startup's planned high-throughput, low-Earth orbit system will encourage other investors to jump onboard.
Australia's state-owned National Broadband Network company has placed a satellite originally meant to be a spare into service to keep pace with ramping user demand, and says it has solved around 80 percent of the service issues that have plagued the satellite system since early 2016.

Scientists and specialists meet Bt brinjal farmers and researchers in Bangladesh
By bteggplantJune 20, 2016September 19th, 2022No Comments
Byline: Md. Arif Hossain
"There is no substitute for seeing crop production on the ground in-country when you are trying to evaluate a project," said Joe Huesing, senior biotechnology advisor with USDA-ARS/USAID. "It's a good opportunity to meet with scientists, farmers and policymakers to discuss successes, challenges and strategies for the future."
Huesing, along with the other four members of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of the Feed the Future South Asia Eggplant Improvement Project, visited Bangladesh from March 2024, 2016 to see Bt brinjal research and adoption.
Key activities included a visit to Bt brinjal fields at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) headquarters in Gazipur, and meetings to update the Honorable Agriculture Minister Begum Matia Chowdury, MP, Abdul Kalam Azad, the Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC), and Kamal Uddin Ahmed, the Secretary of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, on project activities.
TAC members visited BARI's On Farm Research Division (OFRD) Bogra station to see Bt brinjal experimental sites and share observations. They also visited Bt brinjal fields in Bogra to interact with farmers and see the Bt brinjal conditions in the field.
"The TAC's first visit to Bangladesh helped members better understand Feed the Future South Asia Eggplant Improvement Project activities in Bangladesh," said Tony Shelton, Cornell entomologist and international professor who is the project director. "TAC members were able to share their observations and findings with the BARI scientists and officials, and discuss ongoing and future activities with key project officials in Bangladesh."
TAC members include: Md. Rafiqul Islam Mondal, director general of BARI; Usha Barwale Zehr, director of research for Mahyco Seeds in India; Jeff Wolt, biotechnology risk analyst with Iowa State University; Steve Naranjo director of the USDA-ARS Center in AZ; and Nick Storer, global leader for scientific affairs in the biotechnology regulatory and government affairs group at Dow AgroSciences. The group was selected for their expertise in risk assessment for transgenic crops, integrated pest management, toxicology, Bt eggplant technology, and agronomic conditions on small farms in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh released four Bt brinjal varieties in October 2013. Before Bt brinjal, farmers had to spray pesticide 80-100 times each season to protect their fields from fruit and shoot borer infestation. Farmers threw away a major portion of their harvested brinjal caused by the waste of infested and damaged fruits. Farmers in Bangladesh have strongly accepted and cultivated Bt brinjal, as it requires no insecticide for the fruit and shoot borer insect, and allows them to sell 100 percent of the harvested crop.
Future South Asia Eggplant Improvement Partnership Project
The Feed the Future South Asia Eggplant Improvement Partnership addresses and integrates all elements of the commercialization process — including technology development, regulation, marketing, seed distribution, and product stewardship. It also provides strong platforms for policy development, capacity building, gender equality, outreach, and communication.
To strengthen capacity to develop and disseminate genetically engineered eggplant in Bangladesh and the Philippines, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded Cornell University a $4.8 million, three-year grant. The award supports USAID's work under Feed the Future, the U.S. government's global initiative to fight hunger and improve food security using agricultural science and technology.
In addition to Cornell University, partners in the project include the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) and the University of the Philippines at Los Baños. As a staple crop, eggplant, or brinjal, generates income for smallholder farmers and is an important source of nutrition for farmers and consumers in South Asia.

CUPE rallies with postal workers at Canada Post public meeting
CUPE came out in strong support of postal workers who've been forced back to work, rallying in defence of their right to strike and for free collective bargaining at the Canada Post annual public meeting.
Members of CUPE's National Executive Board joined postal workers and their allies outside the meeting at Canada Post headquarters in Ottawa. The Liberal government legislated members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) back to work late last month. They'd been on rotating strikes, pressing for progress on key issues including equal pay and safer workplaces.
"CUPW has our full support every step of the way as they fight this attack on the Charter rights of all Canadian workers," said CUPE National President Mark Hancock. "Justin Trudeau has made it clear he's no friend of workers. He'll feel the consequences in the courts – and at the ballot box."
"The courts have ruled that the right to strike is at the heart of meaningful negotiations. Collective bargaining is how we move forward as workers, and as a society. CUPE's 665,000 members stand in solidarity with postal workers as they keep pushing for fairness and equity," said CUPE National Secretary-Treasurer Charles Fleury.
As part of our ongoing support, CUPE has extended CUPW a $1 million interest-free loan. CUPW is challenging the back-to-work legislation in court.


Does your business strategy include attractive tax incentives? Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax has consistently brought a wealth of foreign direct investment into the country over the last three decades, and continues to do so.
This highly favourable environment to conduct business in is a magnet for enterprises from all around the globe. But what circumstances are necessary to benefit from this particular tax incentive?
The relationship your business has with the Irish state is key to whether you can avail of this tax incentive or not. This can be tricky when a foreign company wants to avail of this particular benefit. Simply put, the Irish state needs to be able to recognise who you are, where your business is located and what substance your company has in Ireland.
Does your business have substance?
With regards to the Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revenue), substance refers to the people who run the business, and their appropriate skillsets to drive the success of that business. The daily running and operating of the business is what proves that it is an Irish trading business.
When you're seeking to register a business in Ireland, the location of the business will be of particular importance. The distinction here is that the location must be a fixed place of business, and not a 'care of' address. The company accountant's address, for example, would not qualify in these circumstances. As it must be a physical address, a PO address will not suffice either.
It will take some time (often up to six weeks), but with the necessary paperwork available from Revenue you can continue registering your company for tax.
If you have an Irish director available for the tax registration of your company, it will prove to be a much smoother and faster process. This is beneficial for other taxes, such as VAT and the Form 11.
Directors of all Irish companies are required to fill out a Form 11. However, this can be complicated for a foreign director who does not have an Irish PPSN. The situation arises due to the financial remuneration a director may be due from the Irish business, which should be taxed in Ireland.
However, not all directors are paid on a salary basis requiring the withholding of PAYE. Services fees (consultancy fees, for example) are considered differently. This may be drawn up as a contract for service which is billed as an invoice, and not a salary. Therefore, this is not a PAYE concern to the Irish Revenue.
This is justified on a case by case basis, with the necessary paperwork for the kind of contract drawn up, whether it is an employment contract or a services contract, so that the appropriate tax can be processed.
For a newly incorporated business, there can be very little turnover in the first year, but a lot of setup costs incurred – securing office space, paying service charges, buying office equipment, etc. This is why a VAT refund made available in the first few months of trading is very helpful.
The registration for VAT is strictly monitored and assessed due to fraudulent attempts that can be made. Requirements can include providing a copy of a contract, to demonstrate the business is legitimate. However, securing a contract can be difficult without having a registered business!
Demonstrating the steps your business is taking to securing contracts in Ireland will aid your registration process. It is also helpful in this scenario if you can point to proof of significant business occurring overseas.
You can reclaim VAT from the start of the VAT period in which you get registered. It can take up to three months for your application to be processed, but you will still be able to claim VAT from the start of that VAT period. It is worthwhile making ensuring you have your application sent in a timely fashion.
B2B: An Irish-based business providing goods or services to another EU country would be described as a business to business supply. In this case, the Irish supplier does not need to be registered for VAT in the other country.
B2C: An Irish business supplying to a foreign consumer is considered differently. Often there are thresholds as to how much trade can be made before the supplier is subject to VAT.
Local branch: If you setup a branch in the overseas country you will need a local VAT registration.
If you're thinking of starting a business in Ireland, it's worth having a comprehensive conversation with an expert about the financial and legal implications of doing so. An experienced advisor will also guide you through the forms you are required to fill out and make sure you reap the benefits of setting up shop in enterprise-friendly Ireland!
If you want to start a business here, or expand your existing business to Ireland, we can help. Call us on 01 639 2963 to arrange a consultation.

Q: Splitting up text with BeautifulSoup by certain HTML structures I am attempting to split up some HTML based on a certain pattern.
A specific part of the HTML has to be divided into 1 or more parts or text arrays. The way that I am able to divide this HTML is by looking at the first  and a double
. All the text that is between these two tags has to be put into a list and iterated over.
How can this easily be solved?
So I want the following HTML:

        This is some kind of buzzword:

        Jimbo Jack

Some filler text

More weird stuff

Unstructured text

        Jacky Bradson

This is just a test

Nothing but a test

More unstructured stuff

        Junior Bossman

This is fluffy

As I would expect

Split into following portions.
First part:
        Jimbo Jack

Some filler text

More weird stuff

Unstructured text

Second part:
        Jacky Bradson

This is just a test

Nothing but a test

More unstructured stuff

Third part:
        Junior Bossman

This is fluffy

As I would expect

A: Basic solution is by using join, prettify and split. Basic idea is to convert it in a text and separate the portion of interest.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(text))
for i in soup.prettify().split('')[1].split(''):
    print '' + ''.join(i)

The text file is:
text= '''

        This is some kind of buzzword:

        Jimbo Jack

Output is:

Greg Slaughter said on Tuesday night that he has already submitted the needed documents for eligibility as a local for Gilas Pilipinas.
With the papers submitted, he is optimistic that the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) would allow him to play as one of the national team's homegrown players for the World Cup Qualifiers matches against Iran and Qatar later this month.
"I think I should be able to play," Slaughter, who later said that he has "been in the Philippines basically my whole life," told some reporters after team practice at the Meralco Gym in Pasig.
"Hopefully it will come back with a favorable response," he added.
The Ginebra center's eligibility kept Coach Yeng Guiao from naming his "Final 12" for the Sept. 13 road game in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Monday night.
The concurrent NLEX coach again kept mum about his Final 12 on Tuesday night as Gilas begins to wait for FIBA's decision on Slaughter.
"Since na-submit na, wala na tayong magagawa except to wait (Since the documents have been submitted, there is nothing else we can do but to wait)," said Guiao.
He, however, somehow hinted that the seven-foot beanpole would be a shoo-in once he is cleared to play as a local, giving him an option to just choose between Stanley Pringle and Chris Standhardinger as Gilas' naturalized player.
"If Greg can be categorized as a local, then that means it's just a choice between Stanley and Christian. That makes it a little easier," continued Guiao.
However, he's also awaiting a separate decision on the case of Pringle.
"Hindi lang si Greg ang gusto natin maging local, pati si Stanley, kaya lang (It is not only Greg whom we want to become a naturalized player, also Stanley. But) I'm not sure if Stanley's papers have already been submitted," Guiao further said.
The Gilas pool had a lighter training on Tuesday, with the bulk of the playing time devoted for scouting Iran.


With more than half of Puerto Rico still without water, a Virginia entrepreneur has proposed to President Trump and his administration a $1 billion initiative to prepare every home on the island for inevitable future hurricanes that will again leave the population without water.
"Water is the most important commodity during a disaster, yet there are always delivery delays. Having a ready 40-120-gallon supply of fresh emergency water in every home would dramatically reduce the acquisition, logistics, and first-responder costs associated with disaster water," Walls added.
"And for long-duration outages, it would reduce the spread of disease associated with lack of water for basic hygiene and sanitation," he said.
Constant Water is a battery/solar-powered, backup water system that provides 40-120 gallons of fresh water, under pressure, throughout the home or business.
Soon after the hurricanes, Constant Water reached out to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to offer systems for near-term relief and long-term preparation, the executive said.
A number of relief organizations also contacted Constant Water. In all cases, they agreed the infrastructure damage on the island was simply too great; concluding future deployment was a better approach.
"Including water resilience with the reconstruction efforts under way, and that will continue for some time, is the right thing to do. We can prepare for the future starting now," Walls said.
More than 80 million homes in the U.S. receive water from water wells or live in coastal counties at risk of hurricanes. More than 60 percent of Florida, the fifth largest population of homes on water wells, was without power during the recent hurricanes. And many public systems were damaged or contaminated as well. Texas had entire towns without public water for weeks.
"We'll also contribute significantly to expansion of U.S. manufacturing in the process. There are 'wins' here for so many, but particularly the citizens of Puerto Rico. And we'll happily partner with others to make this reality," he concluded.
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Virginia-based co. lays out B initiative to build 'water resilience' in PR". Here is the website link: https://newsismybusiness.com/virginia-initiative-resilience/. Thank you.

The Underground Railroad star Thuso Mbedu will star in TriStar Pictures' The Woman King opposite Academy Award-winning actor Viola Davis.
The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Old Guard), is a historical epic inspired by true events that took place in the Kingdom of Dahomey, a powerful state in Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries.
According to Deadline, the story will follow Nanisca, General of the all-female military unit, and Nawi, an ambitious recruit, who together fought enemies who violated their honor, enslaved their people, and threatened to destroy everything they lived for.
The film has a script penned by Dana Stevens with Cathy Schulman producing it through her Welle Entertainment along with Davis and Tennon of JuVee Productions and Maria Bello of Jack Blue Productions. Nicole Brown and Shary Shirazi are overseeing the project for TriStar Pictures.
Notably, Viola Davis was nominated for this year's Best Actress Academy Award for her performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Due to adverse market conditions, Peer Mountain have taken the decision to postpone the public element of our sale. We believe this to be the best decision for the company and token participants. In the interim the team remains fully focused on factors within our influence and are dedicated to bringing Peer Mountain to production. We will continue to develop product and will focus on three core areas during this period.
We will continue to update our supporters and community as we hit milestones in these areas and will share information shortly on these.
The public token sale will start once the pre-sale PMTN tokens have been allocated. Stay tuned!
Tokens will be distributed to buyers after each round is completed. Tokens will only be transferable after the token sale closes.
We expect the Peer Mountain Token sale to run for four to six rounds, with a pre-order phase of one week that will be open to any buyer that pre-registers. The Round 4 close figures presented above illustrate the values when four rounds would close to the token, and are for illustrative purposes only.
We intend to raise 39,488 ETH to build and deploy Peer Mountain into the world's blockchain application standard for trustworthy commerce in any legally regulated environment. We encourage people holding BTC to use an exchange to convert it and participate in the sale.
Before you join, we want you to get to know us, and what we stand for. Our CEO has developed a comprehensive guide to TGE due diligence to help you better evaluate Peer Mountain and all other crypto projects. We'll be adding more to this essential reading list soon.
Know Your Customer (KYC) is an identity verification process designed to protect both the company running a token sale and the token buyers.
Peer Mountain requires every whitelisted token buyer to register for its KYC process, which consists of buyer identity and residency verification. This verification validates the sources of funds that Peer Mountain raises during its token sale.
IMPORTANT: Please register for KYC with the email address you provided for the pre-ICO whitelist.
*Please note that US, Chinese and all citizens or residents from FATF high risk jurisdictions are not allowed to participate in the Peer Mountain token pre-sale.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has developed a series of recommendations that are recognised as the international standard for combating of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. These recommendations include a list of high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions. Citizens and residents of these jurisdiction will not be allowed to participate in the Peer Mountain pre-ICO and ICO.

As a communal society, there is nothing more precious—or fleeting—as our memories. Though the way we capture these moments may have changed over the years, the importance of these slices of personal history has not. With this in mind, in the Studio we treat your family films like our own.
We offer full conversion of VHS, VHS-C, Hi-8 and many other film cassette media, and include the opportunity for editing before export onto disk or digital format. Ask for a full list of media we can currently convert, or to discuss large-quantity requests.
With every conversion, we edit the unusable and "empty film" out, leaving only a seamless and interruption-free memory to enjoy among family and friends. The nature of conversion requires our full attention and understanding of the films in hand. As a result, the charge to convert is based upon the length of the films being converted.
In-depth editing of your films is available for any conversion, for an additional fee. This editing includes color correction, titles, date/location stamps and other additions. Super-cut compositions, and other large projects are negotiable for a flat project fee. A meeting to discuss any desired post-production will occur once digitized film can be reviewed.
*Under 60 minutes charged at 1-hour rate.


This is a totally different kind of dessert, compared to the classical Tiramisù.
Mascarpone is substituted with low fat Greek yogurt, and I used only egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Prepared in single glasses so they are easy and elegant way to serve to your guests and family.
Beat the eggwhite with sugar until firm.
Whisk the yogurt with finely grated orange zest of half an orange (make sure you leave one half ungrated so you can use it for decoration).
Add the beaten egg white to the yogurt and mix delicately with a wooden spoon or a spatula.
Break two savoiardi so that they fit to the bottom of your glass. Soak them a little in coffee and place in the glass. Do the same with the other glass.
Pour part of the yogurt mixture in each glass.
Squeeze the juice from half the orange (the half that you grated the zest from) and soak the remaining savoiardi.
Place them over the cream.
Put the rest of the cream over the savoiardi layer, cover the glasses with a piece of plastic wrap and leave them in the fridge for at least one hour.
Before serving, sprinkle some cocoa powder on top and decorate with thin orange slices.


Because public spaces, parks and ponds are generally not required to have an address (after all, there aren't any mailboxes for them!) some may find the formal addresses of many such places to be - odd, to say the least. In the case of Player Bend Park, a catch and release pond in Sterling Ridge, the fishing pier and park sign are located along the lake's southern shore, on Player Bend Drive across from Spruce Canyon Place. Public access to the northwestern shore is also available on Terramont Drive, across from Deretchin Elementary School.


What Mindset do you Possess?
Have you ever thought about what kind of mindset you have?
To easily determine how much success, happiness and wealth we achieve. It is important to look at the type of mindset we adopt in life. The state of mind we choose to live in could either be a really good thing, or a really detrimental thing.
Below are the different types of mindsets!
Love to hang around with people, make new friends, and just explore new cultures and ways of life.
Thrive on spending time with their friends.
Love talking to strangers, and being able to enjoy conversation with them.
Love challenging themselves and constantly being better than they were yesterday.
Always building their knowledge of themselves and the universe.
People who let fear get the best of them are unable to use their time to the best of their ability.
Leads to a very minimal and quite frankly, dull life.
Often jealous of other people who're perhaps doing better than them.
You love to provide a service to people, and help change the world, whilst also be working for yourself and making your own path.
The ability to dream big and think big.
You have the ability to come up with incredible visions for their future.
Allows others to decide what's in store for your future.
You don't have complete control over your life, but you're allowed to believe you do.
Those who go with the normal way of doing things. They don't like to question things.
Guilty of always wanting more.
The key to action and happiness.
When someone is addicted to things that will make them happy for a short period of time, right here in the present moment.
Results in being miserable in the long term later in life.
People who suffer from anger issues have the angry mindset.
Maybe they've gone through really tough situations in the past, and that's led to them becoming an angry individual.
Taking things out on other people a lot of the time.
Make the most of their time, and get tasks completed efficiently.
Able to work towards their goals at a much faster rate, and are unlikely to fall victim to distractions.


Iyengar bakery, one of Bangalore's oldest bakeries has now gone online and hyper-local. It has started its own e-commerce site for people to place orders.
The bakery that was started in 1981, has over 1000 customers visiting its various offline stores. The bakery now being overseen by businessmen Lakshmeesha and Raman started the online store to help distribute the stores goods to clientele across the city.
"There was demand for more branches, and we thought an online store that would deliver goods all over the city would be a much smarter option," says Lakshmeesha (via). The orders placed online will be distributed by the physical stores.
The minimum order value is Rs 500. The price of food available range from Rs 30 – Rs 80 for everything except whole cakes, that are priced at Rs 500. Will you really want to buy that kind of quantity to get to the minimum order for delivery?

Sy Scholfield quotes Max in an interview: "If Max has a spontaneous streak, she also has a perfectionist streak. "I'm an Aquarius," she explains, "and I think I'm a Virgo rising, which means I'm a perfectionist." Does that check out? "Definitely," she confirms" ("Go Inside Ava Max's 'Heaven & Hell'" by Matt Wallock, American Songwriter, 18 September 2020 [1]).
Wikipedia gives her birth year as 1994, however on her MySpace page archived on 5 Nov 2008 (when she was known as Amanda Kay) she had given her age as 15, therefore she was born in 1993 [2].
