Repentant Rantie on the straight and narrow at Celtic
Published: May 12, 20205:54 pm
Bloemfontein Celtic and former Bafana striker Tokelo Rantie
by MTHULISI SIBANDA
JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – BLOEMFONTEIN Celtic believe Tokelo Rantie has turned over a new leaf as the former national team striker aims to revive his career at the club from his home province.
The Free State side confirmed the Parys-born forward was still under assessment, and, like any other player, keeping fit at home owing to restrictions imposed by authorities to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
With no end in sight to the recess of the elite league, and the player's reputation based on his recent past, there might have been fears Rantie had let go the opportunity.
However, Celtic coach, Lehlohonolo Seema, confirms the formerly overseas-based striker is on the straight and narrow.
"He is under the same training programme as all other players," Seema said in an interview with CAJ News.
Phunya SeleSele has taken a gamble on the 29-year-old who has not played for the past couple of seasons.
After a stint in Turkey lasted in late 2017, Rantie failed in an attempt to revive his dwindling career at Cape Town City.
Mamelodi Sundowns threw him a lifeline last September but terminated his three-year contract in January this year.
Alleged personal problems were cited as the reasons on both occasions. His time overseas also ended unceremoniously.
Celtic are aware of these issues and Seema explains why they gave Rantie a chance.
"Obviously when we gave him a chance to train we asked him what he wanted. He wanted to revive his career," the coach said.
"He (Rantie) saw his mistakes of the past, and, if somebody has seen and learnt from his mistakes and where he went wrong and wants a chance, why not give him a chance?"
Nonetheless, Seema said the technical team was not in a position currently to conclude on its assessment of the player they offered a trial shortly before the COVID-19 enforced recess.
"We were still working on his conditioning since it was long since he played," Seema said.
Rantie, capped 40 times by Bafana Bafana, previously underwent special training at the provincial Sports Science Institute.
Meanwhile, Seema sang the praises of ageless midfielder-cum-striker, Ndumiso Mabena (32), after another inspirational campaign. He is Celtic's top scorer with seven league goals and three assists from 21 appearances.
"I worked with Mabena at Orlando Pirates when I was still playing," the former Pirates captain recalled.
"He then went to Platinum Stars, where he did well. He has been a leader that's why we have made him captain. We are happy with the way he is going," Seema said.
The Celtic mentor revealed one of the reasons the player from Groblersdal has been evergreen.
"We need to manage him well. He is not young anymore. We give him enough rest so that we can utilise him in the games. That is why he always has the energy," Seema concluded.

WATCH ABOVE: Ryan Gobeil and some friends got tattoos of his brother Morgan's heartbeat to support the injured Humboldt Broncos player. Rebekah Lesko reports.
The heartbeat of one of the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash will be permanently beating on the skin of his siblings.
Morgan Gobeil has been in the hospital since his Saskatchewan Junior Hockey team bus collided with a semi-truck on April 6.
Since then, his family has been by his side – but Morgan's siblings Ryan and Sarah wanted to do something a little more.
"But we sat there by his bed and I was looking at the monitor … I thought, I could watch this forever," Ryan told Global News.
That's when he came up with the idea to tattoo the defencemen's heartbeat on his arm. He and Sarah, along with Ryan's fiancee Mallory Horn and Morgan's friend Drew Thiemann, jumped in the car Saturday night and headed to the tattoo parlour.
"Within a half hour, we all had tattoos. We were able to head back to the hospital and continue to support our brother and the other victims as well," Ryan said.
Friends and family of Morgan Gobeil tattooed his heartbeat on their arms as he recovers from the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
Ryan says Morgan is an amazing kid; he was the captain of his midget team before joining up with the Broncos.
In respect for the families of victims, the status of Morgan's injuries are private. Twelve people remain in hospital, and as of Monday, four were in critical condition.
Ryan says Morgan hasn't seen the tattoo yet, but he's sure he'll like it.
The group isn't alone in wanting to memorialize this tragedy on their skin.
The tattoo shop where they went has seen an influx of customers with similar requests.
"We got a couple coming in tomorrow for jersey tattoos," said Laurel Turner, manager of Rites of Passage Tattoo. "People are getting numbers of people who have passed or recovering in the hospital.
As for Ryan, he said he's happy to always have a part of his brother with him.
As Morgan keeps fighting through his injuries, Ryan is asking people across the country to keep offering their support.

Best Of 2022 Rivalries Medvedev Kyrgios | ATP tour
Continuing our annual season-in-review series, ATPTour.com revisits the biggest rivalries of 2022. Today we feature Daniel Medvedev vs. Nick Kyrgios.
Big serving, huge forehands and no shortage of outrageous shotmaking. There are few better spectacles on the ATP Tour than a free-hitting showdown between Daniel Medvedev other Nick Kyrgios.
After three years without a tour-level meeting, fans were treated to three installations of the Medvedev-Kyrgios rivalry in 2022. While Medvedev notched an impressive victory at the Australian Openit was Kyrgios who secured bragging rights for the season with a pair of hard-fought wins on North American hard courts, in Montreal and at the US Open.
At the end of a year in which Medvedev rose to World No. 1 for the first time and a rejuvenated Kyrgios put together some of the best results of his career, ATPTour.com looks back on how one of the Tour's blockbuster rivalries played out in 2022.
Australian Open, Second Round, Medvedev d. Kyrgios 7-6(1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-2
The 2022 Grand Slam action was just four days old when Medvedev and Kyrgios collided in a heavyweight second-round clash at January's Australian Open.
For the first half of the match it appeared that second-seeded Medvedev was on track to claim his first victory in three attempts against the Australian in style. His top-quality return game helped him claim the first two sets on Rod Laver Arena, but Kyrgios roused the home fans with some typically majestic shotmaking en route to the third.
"I thought the atmosphere was awesome," Kyrgios later said. "That's what sport is. You've got the most entertaining player playing in his home slam on Rod Laver. You'd expect the crowd to be like that."

Those positive vibes could not carry Kyrgios to a famous comeback win, however, as Medvedev slammed the door shut on the Australian in clinical fashion by breaking twice in the fourth set to seal a two-hour, 58-minute win.
"I came to win this match and I am happy I managed to do it," said Medvedev. "It was a funny match because we both served big. In the second and fourth sets I managed to return a little bit more at the crucial moments."
Despite the defeat, Kyrgios was happy with how he had performed against eventual finalist Medvedev in just his second competitive match in four months.
"No matter how little I train or how much I play, I'll always lift for matches like this," said the Australian. "I'm not going to shy away from it… If I play 95 per cent of people tonight on that court, I think I win, to be honest with you."
National Bank Open Presented by Rogers, Second Round, Kyrgios d. Medvedev 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-2
In contrast to the meeting in Melbourne, Kyrgios arrived at August's National Bank Open Presented by Rogers in Montreal amid a red-hot run of form that had seen the Australian reach his maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon and lift his seventh ATP Tour crown in Washington.
That confidence was plain to see against World No. 1 and defending champion Medvedev in the second round in Canada, where the 27-year-old Australian remained unbroken throughout a two-hour encounter for his 14th win in 15 tour-level matches.
"This is the fourth meeting we've had, and I've had some success against him in the past," said Kyrgios after the match. "But he's beaten me before [as well]. I feel like we know each other's games well. I'm not the type of player that goes into this match looking at rankings or anything like that, it's just who I'm playing and what kind of ball they're giving me."
Kyrgios' decision to frequently deploy serve-and-volley tactics against an opponent renowned for his deep positioning on return paid off in Montreal. The Australian won 67 per cent (32/48) of points at the net to claim his second win against a reigning World No. 1, after his 2014 Wimbledon win against Rafael Nadal.
"Today I had a very clean objective of how I was going to play, a lot of serve-and-volley, a lot of aggressive play from the back," said Kyrgios. "I executed better than he did, that's all it comes down to."
"He was great. He was playing good," reflected the defeated Medvedev. "He beat me fairly, if we can say [it] like this."
US Open, Fourth Round, Kyrgios d. Medvedev 7-6(11), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2
Fewer than four weeks after his win in Montreal, Kyrgios ended another Medvedev title defense on North American hard courts with an impressive four-set victory at the US Open.
"I just thought I played the right way," said Kyrgios, who fired 53 winners, including 21 aces, en route to a two-hour, 53-minute fourth-round win at Flushing Meadows. "I returned unbelievable today. Just thought the third and fourth sets were just so free.I was just having a lot of fun, embracing every moment out on Ashe today. [I am] really proud of that."

Kyrgios sealed his victory despite a bizarre third-set gaffe, later described by the Australian as "probably the most boneheaded play of all time". At 1-0, 30/30 on Medvedev's serve in the third set, Kyrgios ran round the net to intercept a high volley from the top seed that was clearly not going to make it to his side of the court.
"I thought it was legal to be honest. I genuinely thought it was legal," Kyrgios said in an interview with ESPN. "I thought I was playing the concrete streets of my suburb in Canberra… You can see my face… I was so happy. I was like, 'That's the best shot ever' and it wasn't legal. But it was fun."
A disappointed Medvedev was impressed with the level Kyrgios had shown as the Australian extended his lead in the pair's ATP Head2Head series to 4-1.
"It was a high-level match," said Medvedev, who lost his No. 1 spot in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings as a result of the loss. "[I've] played Novak, Rafa. They all play amazing. Nick played today kind of their level, in my opinion.
"He has a little bit different game because he's not like a grinder in a way. At the same time, he can rally. He's tough to play. He has an amazing serve… He has every shot. It was a really high-level match from him."

QUESTION: We want to build a fence on our property. The lot adjoins that of our neighbor's. Do we have to get permission to erect the fence?
ANSWER: First of all, the fact that you are asking the question raises the possibility that you are not on good terms with the neighbor who will be affected by the fence. But if that supposition is wrong, contact him and see whether you can agree on the kind and height of the fence. But that is by no means the last word on the subject.
Nearly all communities have regulations on all matters affecting fences even if the one you contemplate will be completely on your own property. You must get a permit after the authorities are certain you intend to conform to the local codes. Whatever your reason for putting up the fence, make sure it is attractive. An eyesore isn't going to do anybody any good.
Q: Is there some rule of thumb that can be used when working with adhesives? In the past, when using adhesives, I have found it difficult to know when to use one kind of adhesive and when to use another. Can you help? I especially am anxious to find out when the so-called flexible adhesives should be used and when they should not.
A: It sounds as if you are not an avid reader of the instructions on the adhesive containers. This is partly the fault of the manufacturers, who sometimes have the instructions in such small type that a magnifying glass is required to read them.
But, no matter how difficult it is to make out the instructions, you should make it your business to see what they say. Generally, a flexible adhesive is required when the two objects to be joined are made of different materials; as for instance, when joining wood to glass. That's because different materials expand and contract differently when there is a change in the weather. With an adhesive that is inflexible, this can cause trouble. But nothing takes the place of reading the instructions and following them to the letter.
Q: I intend to put down a concrete floor soon. Is there some way to tell when to use a base of aggregates and sand and when it can be skipped? Years ago, when I did this a couple of times, I guessed wrong both times.
A: Generally, a base is needed if the ground is fairly soft. You can proceed without a base only if the ground is hard. Even when it is, it should be compacted. If there is any doubt in your mind about the hardness of the soil, put down the aggregate and sand, with about four times as much aggregate as sand.
Q: We recently bought a house in the country for use as a vacation or second home. It has a very steep roof. Since it is due for reroofing, we wonder whether there is any special color that will tend to make the roof lines seem somewhat lower. We intend to use asphalt shingles.
A: Just be sure to select shingles that are dark in color. A dark color makes a high roof seem less towering.


Right to Work is Wrong for New Hampshire!
Right to work supporters are planning a major event in Concord on Wednesday to coincide with a vote on Right to Work legislation for New Hampshire. There are rumors that Republican Presidential Candidates will attend this rally.
We have beaten back this efforts before and need to do it again. But we need to ensure that our voices are heard and our faces are seen. Please join us Wednesday at 8am in front of the State House for a demonstration in support of workers, in support of unions and against Right to Work.
Again, that's this Wednesday, November 30 at 8am in front of the State House in Concord. Thank you.
Union carpenters in Connecticut will get a boost as New Haven just approved a $600 million project for Yale to build two residential colleges. Construction is set to begin next summer and finish in 2015.
Turner Construction is the Project Manager for Phase One. Demolition on the site was performed by Manafort Brothers. Donaldson and CJ Fucci did piledriving and retainage work. All work will be done by union contractors, with bids for remaining work due in January.
The project will include living spaces, dining halls, libraries and academic and recreational spaces for an additional 800 students, according to a story in the New Haven Register. They will be the 13th and 14th "residential colleges" for Yale.
The NorthEast Flooring Contracting Association is holding its annual Expo at the Carpenters Center in Boston on November 30 from 5:30-8:30 pm. The Expo will feature more than 40 of the top suppliers in the industry and address important topics, including: --New finish products in all flooring surfaces. --Products for preparation, including moisture mitigation leveling and finish installation. --Demonstrations of new innovations and techniques for proper preparation and installation. For more information or to attend the event, contact Jim Spiro at NEFCA by email at jimspiro@nefca.us.
A Massachusetts Superior Court judge has found that Universal Drywall routinely misclassified carpenters as so-called independent contractors and failed to properly purchase workers compensation coverage. The practice meant that its insurance carrier, Travelers Property Casualty Company of America was defrauded out of more than $327,000 in premiums.
The decision brings to an end a case involving work that Universal Drywall performed on some Massachusetts sites, including Brooksby Village in Peabody, Linden Ponds in Hingham, Sherburne Commons in Nantucket and Arbor Point in Burlington. It did not cover work that Universal--an Auburn, New Hampshire-based company--performed in other New England states or at other times in Massachusetts.
Universal Drywall, which is owned and run by Richard Pelletier and Real Tanguay, is well known to the New England Regional Council of Carpenters. The union has spoken to carpenters on many sites in the region who have told they were classified as "1099s." The company attempted to protect itself from misclassification enforcement by having carpenters sign "contracts," but the court found that the company's extensive control and direction of the workers and their work meant they were employees and premiums for workers compensation were owed to Travelers.
Why should the "haves" care about the "have nots"?
There's plenty of reasons the "haves" should care about the "have nots." They're not all humanitarian, moral or have anything to do with preventing a violent revolution. Richard Wilkinson gives a very informative, but easy to understand 15 minute talk about the increased problems faced by everyone in countries with greater income inequality compared to people living in countries with lower levels of income inequality.
Carpenters have taken to the cobblestones to demonstrate against Dave Matthews Construction twice recently. The company, which is being used to renovate several floors of a building adjacent to historic Faneuil Hall in Quincy Market, does not pay area standard wages and benefits for carpenters. The protest drew the attention of tourists and natives alike, reminding them that the first step toward liberty is exposing injustice.
The following Letter to the Editor was submitted by Bryan Bouchard, a Vermonter and a Regional Manager for the New England Regional Council of Carpenters. It is in response to an article published in the Boston Globe on October 25. An edited version was printed in the Globe today.
"There are serious concerns about the short and long term impacts created by the current "greenbacks for green cards" model being used at Jay Peak. The desperate grab for any cash, from anywhere needs to be tempered to make sure the investment actually does lasting good for Vermonters.
"Are we selling citizenship for the promise of more low wage work? Many of the jobs at Jay Peak will be the kind people say "Americans won't do". But they are permanent low-wage jobs. For Americans to benefit from permanent jobs at Jay Peak, each single worker will have to take two or three of them; one clearing tables, one handing out towels and one emptying trash cans to make ends meet.
"Program administrators should also be wary of the seedy side of the construction industry. Increasingly, local, skilled trade workers and subcontractors that employ them are being put out of business by contractors who carry a workforce with them across state and national borders or ignore any reasonable standards. This project has utilized carpentry sub-contractors form Maine and New Hampshire that utilize these type of practices.
"This project has failed out of the gate to ensure decent family supporting jobs, it is hard to believe that anyone would claim the long term result would be any different."
Despite the legal fist pounding and finger pointing recently, Mayor Flanagan and the City Council should be applauded for their efforts to support a Responsible Employer Ordinance in Fall River.
As a lifelong resident of Fall River, I was raised to believe that if you worked hard in America you could earn a living wage, have health care, own a home, maybe send your kids to college and retire with dignity. Now we are expected to sit idly by while every last part of the American dream is sacrificed on the altar of low prices and high profits?
REOs can and do play an important role in screening bidders seeking to build with taxpayer dollars. They allow cities and towns to pre-empt embarrassing investigations and slap on the wrist sanctions against bad actors after the damage has already been done to the industry. It was passed after construction at four schools in the city were the subject of complaints, investigations and violations by contractors.
As a union, we believe our training programs create a skilled workforce that builds higher quality projects. We believe health care is an important benefit for workers, and also reduces a future financial burden of all taxpayers. We believe these factors, combined with the relationships and mutual understanding developed between our union and union contradictors through collective bargaining, provide a better value for the construction dollar.
To the extent that municipalities believe in craft training, health care and other values, they may set certain standards for those who want to bid on work. Unfortunately, that effort was challenged and thrown out by people who do not live in Fall River, do not invest in Fall River's future and have not experienced the steady decline of opportunity for Fall River natives.
Make no mistake; the REO did not prohibit nonunion contractors from bidding on or performing work. Simply reading the ordinance makes it clear that the intent was to protect standards for construction workers and Fall River taxpayers. That's why it received such widespread support from both Mayor Flanagan and Ms. Viveiros, when it was proposed.
As a Fall River native and someone who has make his living in the construction industry, I thank Mayor Flanagan and others for continuing their support for decent standards in our city.
This letter was published in the Fall River Herald News on November 1 and is open for comments.

Home / In The Magazine / Ethiopia's internal conflict explained
Ethiopia's internal conflict explained
The independent November 23, 2020 In The Magazine, NEWS ANALYSIS Leave a comment
The East African country has descended into an increasingly bloody civil conflict
| SIMON MARKS | Violence in Ethiopia's northern state of Tigray has escalated in recent weeks, with hundreds of soldiers and an untold number of civilians killed in a worsening dispute between regional forces and the national government.
The violence risks engulfing the entire Horn of Africa, with rockets fired by anti-government forces having already landed in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, and thousands of troops pulling out of neighboring Somalia where regional forces are engaged in countering an Islamist insurgency.
Following skirmishes earlier this year, serious fighting erupted on November 4 after Ethiopia's Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, ordered his forces to respond to an alleged raid on an army camp in the Tigray region.
The region's main party, which ruled the country as part of a multiethnic coalition for the three decades prior to Abiy coming to power in 2018, reacted by taking control of parts of the federal army's Northern Command post, hoovering up military equipment and soldiers in the process.
Two weeks since the start of the conflict — which is looking increasingly like a full-blown civil war — the government claims to have secured a string of townships in the western Tigray region. That is key due to its connections to Sudan, where supplies could replenish the Tigrayan forces. Government forces have also taken back control of areas in the south along the border with Ethiopia's Amhara region.
Who is fighting and why?
The dispute is between the Tigray People's Liberation Front, which ruled Ethiopia for 27 years prior to Abiy coming to power, and the Ethiopian government. The Tigrayans, though comprising just 6 percent of the population, once dominated national politics but lost support due to high levels of corruption, widespread repression and a string of human rights violations such as torturing government opponents in secret prisons.
Though the government says it worked hard to incorporate the TPLF by providing them with positions such as the speaker of the national parliament and a handful of ministerial positions, the Tigray region never bought it. Its members felt Abiy wanted to chip away at Ethiopia's multiethnic federation, which it forged in 1991 after overthrowing a Marxist regime present in the country since the 1970s.
As tensions built, the TPLF held its own election in September after accusing the government of ignoring the constitution by delaying the national election beyond the government's mandate. The government called the vote illegal and the TPLF then refused to recognize Abiy's authority. Then last month the TPLF blocked Abiy's appointment of a new head of the Northern Command. That ended up being the final straw.
What are the EU's interests in Ethiopia?
Ethiopia, which also hosts the headquarters of the African Union, was the first country European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen chose to visit after taking on her role as head of the EU's executive branch. Abiy's Ethiopia was a bastion of hope and massive economic potential after Abiy released political prisoners, promised free elections and press freedom, welcomed exiled dissidents and allowed opposition groups once deemed terrorists to join the political spectrum.
The young prime minister fit hand in hand with the EU's pivot toward Africa, where its leaders hope to forge a more progressive relationship that gets away from traditional aid giving and colonial baggage. An unstable Ethiopia in the midst of a civil war that could destabilize the entire region would force a rethink of that strategy, at least in East Africa.
What are the knock-on effects of the fighting?
More than 25,000 Ethiopian refugees have already fled the fighting to Sudan, where aid groups and the U.N. are now scrambling to provide services. Eritrea, which fought a war with Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000 that killed roughly 100,000 people, has already been drawn into the conflict. The TPLF leadership accuses Eritrea of fighting alongside the Ethiopian government, a claim the government denies, and over the weekend the TPLF confirmed it had fired three rockets toward the Eritrean capital Asmara, striking its international airport.
Ethiopian forces in Somalia — especially in the Gedo region in the south, which borders Ethiopia and Kenya — have abandoned their posts to be replaced by heavily armed special police from Ethiopia's Somali region. The recalling of Ethiopian forces "could create a security vacuum creating opportunities for [Islamist group] Al Shabaab," according to an internal EU document seen by POLITICO.
What might be the broader consequences of more violence?
By some estimates as many as 100,000 people could flee Ethiopia over the next 12 months. Ethiopia's other regions — especially its largest, Oromia — have been prone to unrest since Abiy came to power due to ethnic rivalries and protests against the government. Violent protests after the June 29 killing of popular Oromo musician Hachalu Hundessa claimed about 200 lives. And inter-communal fighting in the western Benishangul-Gumuz region in September left at least 140 people dead. With federal soldiers having moved north to help with the fight against Tigray, these areas are left wide open to further instability.
Ethiopia's economy has already been slammed by the coronavirus pandemic, climatic shocks and locust plagues that have devastated farms. Further conflict can only add to an already chronic poverty rate and lead to further discontent.
What does this mean for the EU's Africa pivot?
So far, official EU responses to the conflict have been muted. After a reported massacre of civilians in the Tigray region last week, the EU's Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič told the German RND news network that there was a risk the violence could spread.
"I fear that this crisis will have catastrophic humanitarian impacts for the whole country," said Lenarčič. "The military escalation in Ethiopia threatens the stability of the whole country and the region."
Experts agree. "Given Ethiopia's size and its centrality to the Horn of Africa and wider Red Sea region, the scale and consequences of a wider civil war—or collapse of the state— are difficult to comprehend," said Zach Vertin, a non-resident fellow at the Princeton University School of Public and International Affairs.
If the uptick in killings continues, the EU may need to re-evaluate the foreign aid it gives the country — Africa's second most populous after Nigeria. It may also make it difficult to continue a close partnership with Abiy.

Getting to work by bike – the greenest form of travel – it is now easier for Council staff.
Bath & North East Somerset Council has joined thousands of other organisations and signed up to the Government's successful Cycle To Work initiative with Cyclescheme. Cycle to Work is designed to encourage employees to cycle to work – the healthy, sustainable, carbon-free way to get to work.
Through the scheme, Council employees are able to loan bicycles from the Council. This works through a 'salary sacrifice' scheme which lets staff benefit from income tax, National Insurance and VAT exemptions. Signing up to the scheme saves the Council money and it saves the employee money. Depending on earnings an employee could save up to 50% on the full retail price of a bike and associated accessories and the Council benefits through National Insurance savings, gaining a healthier workforce, reducing environmental pollution and liberating car parking spaces.
If you are a Council employee and are interested in making an application then please ensure you read all these frequently asked questions so you are aware of all the implications of entering into a salary sacrifice scheme.
If you would like to find out more about this scheme in general please refer to the Government's own scheme information.
Trying out cycling to work couldn't be easier, thanks to the Loan Bike Scheme available to those living or working in Bath and North East Somerset. For more information, visit Better By Bike.


Chefs Monica and Franca recently showcased the specialities of Tuscan cuisine and mentioned how it is as diverse as Indian food.
Marriott Suites Pune, in association with Fratelli Vineyards, recently hosted chefs Monica and Franca, stalwarts of regional Tuscan cuisine. Founders of the Tuscan dining icon and Michelin Guides rising star — La Locanda di Pietracupa in Italy, the duo who were in the city to showcase Tuscan Pop-up at Sorriso Marriott Suites Pune. Some of the dishes presented were Duck Puff Pastry Cannoli, Chickpeas Puree, Vinsanto Reduction, Artichokes and Cheese Lasagnette, Olives Breaded Codfish Fillet with Creamed Potatoes and so on.
Assisted by Jacopo Avigo, Italian speciality chef at Sorriso, Marriott Suites Pune, Monica and Franca attempted at making the guests discover a whole new selection of Italian dishes that are not only simple enough to make at home, but also broaden the understanding of Italian food.
Giving us an insight into Tuscan cuisine and the common ingredients and cooking techniques involved, Monica said that Italian cuisine is divided into various regions. "Tuscan food is based on the Italian idea of cucina povera or 'poor cooking'. It is about simple meals that are inexpensive and can easily be made in large amounts. Tuscan cooking doesn't use complicated seasonings or elaborate creations because they're not needed. Instead it is made using fresh, high-quality ingredients that bring out the natural flavours in each dish. A recipe from Tuscan cuisine does not usually require more than three ingredients," she elaborated.
Franca pointed out that Italian cuisine is a compilation of the cuisines from the various regions. "It includes Tuscan, Sicilian, Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte and Alto-Adige. All these cuisines together make Italian cuisine," she added.
The cuisines and eating habits of every country is deeply linked to its culture and influenced by its traditions, and Italian cuisine is no exception. Highlighting how Italian cuisine is influenced by society, economy, politics, geography, Monica said that as with all the great cuisines of the world, Italian cuisine is a composite of influences from many different cultures over a period of time.
"For example, during the Middle Ages, Sicily was occupied by Arab Muslims. During this period, many different spices and fruits were introduced to Italian cooking. Similarly during the period of sea travel, innovative cooking techniques were developed to preserve food for long voyages. Thus dried pasta was developed. During the period of Renaissance, tomato was introduced to Italy by the Spanish. Tomatoes were native to Peru but did not take long to become a staple of Italian cuisine. During this time, other foods from the New World like corn, beans, peppers, zucchini and chocolate made their way into staples of Italian cuisine," she said.
Both Monica and Franca took traditional and classic Italian flavours from Tuscan cuisine and rendered them more appetising to Eastern palates. When asked what changes did they make to traditional recipes and flavours to suit Indian taste buds, they said that at the Tuscan Pop-up, they also incorporated fresh local produce in the menu. "So the flavours were an exciting mix of Tuscan recipes and Indian ingredients," added Franca.


Here you can find the translation of the 50 most important words and expressions into Kazakh. If you are about to travel to Kazakstan, this is exactly what you are looking for!... If you are simply saying yes to be polite in a conversation, to show understanding, or agreement, say kha for a girl and khrap for a guy.
khob-kun ??????. khob-kun-Ka, If you are a woman. khob-kun-Krub, If you are a man. Moreover, Khob kun is used in general for every and you can say Kob-jai too.... The polite particles ???? krap and ??? / ?? ka / ka are amongst the most commonly used words in the Thai language, but they are virtually untranslatable in English. krap is used by male speakers, ka / ka by female speakers, and they are added to the end of a sentence to make it more polite and show respect to the listener.
khob-kun ??????. khob-kun-Ka, If you are a woman. khob-kun-Krub, If you are a man. Moreover, Khob kun is used in general for every and you can say Kob-jai too.
Exhibit B in the case for Thai sentimentalism - the close etymological connection between Thai words meaning "heart" and "mind". Jai , "mind", spawns the word hua jai , "heart". The word jai forms a number of compounds that describe human emotions.
If you are simply saying yes to be polite in a conversation, to show understanding, or agreement, say kha for a girl and khrap for a guy.

Central Banks Nervous as Alternative Currency with David Bowie's Face Goes Viral
Written by John Vibes
John Vibes
(ANTIMEDIA) Brixton, U.K. — One of the best ways for the general public to take power back is to develop alternative currencies — both local and global — that allow people to trade outside of the corporate-government banking systems and central bank notes.
Many people in different areas of the world have been moderately successful at implementing local currencies, such as Mountain Hours or Ithaca Hours, which have gained traction in the U.S.
In London, an interesting alternative currency bearing the face of pop singer David Bowie has recently come into circulation. According to Market Watch, the local currency is specialized for the Brixton community in southwest London. It is officially called the "Brixton Pound."
Tom Shakhli, manager of the Brixton Pound effort, said, "They are using it because they want to feel connected to the local area. Every time you use it, you're like a financial activist. You're taking part in this act which is subverting the norm, which is to hand over your £10 note very passively."
Shakhli pointed out that the project is intended to make a statement about the foundation of money, as well as provide an alternative to the current monopoly.
Shakhli said that his main goal with the project is to ask, "What is money? Does it have to be either printed by the state or created by the banks? Why can't money be localized? Why can't money feature a pop star or a black historian? Does it have to feature establishment figures?"
So far, there are currently 200 local businesses that have signed up to participate in the Brixton Pound program.
The increasingly popular Brixton Pound is making central banks nervous — and rightly so. Following the success of the Brixton Pound, new alternative local currencies are now popping up all over the U.K. The Oxford Pound, Kingston Pound, and Palace Pound are just a few of the currencies that have been recently introduced. The Bank of England has been forced to respond to these local currencies because of their popularity, deeming them "voucher schemes" and warning the public that they are unprotected when using them.
A document released by the Bank of England claims that "Local currency schemes lead to significant and unanticipated impacts on aggregate economic activity." According to the document, the Bank of England will also attempt to delegitimize local currencies by "Design[ing] features and marketing material [to] help users recognise that local currency paper instruments are like vouchers and not banknotes."
RELATED: New Gold Backed Cryptocurrency Has Been Announced
For the economy to really be in the hands of the people, it is necessary to decentralize the currency and to have an open-source network of competing currencies that are community based and easily exchangeable. While it is impossible to predict how we will trade a century or even five years from now, we can still observe how people are innovating within their own areas and take those lessons into account for when state and bank issued currencies finally diminish in value to the point where they are unusable.

SOLA DEO GLORIA (To God Alone be the Glory) – for saving sinners and for everything else in this life and the life to come, eternal.Therefore, one aspect of the label "reformed" is to understand that we are dedicated to God's Word, God's ways, and God's glory as summarized in these slogans.
A second area where "reformed" describes Heritage is in our doctrinal position. Reformed teaching holds to the Doctrines of Grace (more information of the Doctrines of Grace can be found in the booklet "Doctrines of Grace" by John Piper). The doctrines of grace express the great truths of Scripture regarding God and the salvation He provides for undeserving man.
In short, these doctrines state: 1) man is lost in sin and most undeserving and incapable of fellowship with God (Ephesians 2:1-3; Colossians 1:21); 2) God graciously elected sinners unto salvation according to God's sovereign will alone (Ephesians 1:4,11; Romans 9:11); 3) Christ, the Son of God, came to die in the place of God's people to save them (John 10:11; Ephesians 5:25-27); 4) God always takes the initiative in salvation and thus draws us with His special grace where we come willingly to Christ (John 6:37,44,65); and 5) God completes the salvation He began in us, so that the believer never finally or completely falls away from the grace of God in Christ, but is eternally saved and secure in Christ (2 Timothy 1:12; Philippians 1:6).
In a day where religion is man-centered, the doctrines of grace reveal that God is central and He alone is where our purpose and joy in life are centered. The truths of Scripture, rightly handled, do not leave man dwelling upon himself and his problems, but transcends man from his needs to the throne of grace and focuses upon the God of our salvation.
The doctrines of Grace are a fuller expression of what we mean in the five Latin slogans delineated above. God is the sole author of our salvation and hence receives all the glory for His wonderful grace in saving undeserving sinners.
Thirdly, Heritage is a reformed church meaning that we hold to reformed theology (or covenant theology). Reformed theology is a "system" of theology. A system of theology details how someone unifies the Scripture—that is, how one understands the Bible as a whole, from Genesis to Revelation. Everyone has a "system" of theology—the way he/she sees Scripture unified, whether he realizes it or not, whether it is implicit or explicit.
Two popular "systems" in Christianity today are Dispensationalism and Covenant (or Reformed) Theology. At Heritage, we believe that the biblical approach to understanding the Scriptures is what Scripture reveals about itself through the covenants. Scripture reveals that God always relates to man through covenants, and because the nature of the Bible is redemptive, God has revealed Himself through the course of history in covenants. In fact, the Bible is divided into two major sections: the Old Testament (or covenant); and the New Testament (or covenant). These two testaments are not mutually exclusive but are unified in the Person and Work of Christ Whom they both reveal.
Reformed Theology sees the Scripture unifying the whole Bible together through the covenants. For example, the covenant God made with Noah (Genesis 9:8-17) is still in effect today and applicable to us all as we are reminded every time we see a rainbow in the sky.
The covenant God made with Abraham (Genesis 15) is applicable to all believers today, for Galatians 3:7 says, "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." Scripture itself identifies how it is unified and this, we believe, is through covenants.
Therefore, the third aspect of what the "reformed" label describes about Heritage is how we interpret the Scriptures, that is, by comparing Scripture with Scripture and seeing that covenants are the unifying element. This covenantal system is upheld and taught by our confession, The Westminster Confession (1647) and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Covenant theology not only helps us understand how the Scripture is unified, but aids us in the practical outworking of our doctrine.

Mexico adaptor kit has the adapters you will need to travel to Mexico.
Mexico is located in North America south of the United States and uses a North America, two flat pin, type adapter plug that is used in the United States and Canada.
Mexico adaptor kit has the adapters you will need to travel to Mexico. Even though Mexico uses the same type of plug as the United States, Mexico wall outlets are not required to be polarized, therefore an adapter plug may be needed to plug in your US appliances that have polarized plugs (one pin larger than the other). These adaptor plugs can also be used with European, Australia and China appliances.
Even though Mexico uses North American sockets, the sockets are not required to be polarized. Since some devices such as laptops have a polarized plug with one prong wider than the other, you may still need an adapter to use your plug in Mexico.
Mexico operates on 120 volt electricity and is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. Many foreign countries operate on 60Hz. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.
Mexico is located in Eastern North America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, between Belize and the United States and bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between Guatemala and the United States and its area is slightly less than three times the size of Texas. Its climate varies from tropical to desert. The terrain is high, rugged mountains; low coastal plains; high plateaus; desert.
Currency in Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Credit cards are accepted at tourist destinations. Foreign currency and travelers' cheques can be exchanged at banks throughout Mexico. US Dollars are also accepted.
Mexico has adequate telephone service for business and government; improving quality and increasing mobile cellular availability, with mobile subscribers far outnumbering fixed-line subscribers; domestic satellite system with 120 earth stations; extensive microwave radio relay network; considerable use of fiber-optic cable and coaxial cable. When travelling to Mexico you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Mexico SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.
Mexico has 15.165 million internet hosts and over 31.02 million internet users. Internet access is available in many internet cafes and hotels catering to tourists. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.

The warmer summer days is perhaps the best time to travel and explore our fascinating country.
While going for a holiday is all fun and exciting, it also means you are gone for an extended period time, leaving your home and valuable possessions vulnerable to the burglars.
But here is some good news – While you are gone for a holiday, you can still protect your home with the following simple tips and advanced home alarm systems.
Protect your Home with a Security System – With extensive options available for numerous advanced home security systems in Melbourne, you can add a protective cover to your home, while you are away. A high-end security system provides you with much-needed peace of mind while you are taking a break from the routine.
Inform Alarm Monitoring Service – If your home is already equipped with a security system, make sure you inform the monitoring service about being away out of town. Your security service should know who has the authorised access to your home when you are away. Additionally, don't forget to provide your contact details for emergency contact.
Put your Home on Automation Systems – Home automation system puts your home on a timer. You can have the lights turned on and off at particular times. This creates an impression of someone at home, deterring the burglar to stay from your property.
Put Newspapers on Hold – Piled up newspapers and emails are a clear tell-all sign for the burglars that your home is vacant and vulnerable. It is advisable to put any delivery services – be it newspaper or mail – on hold or ask a neighbour to pick up them so that you are not leaving a clear sign of being away.
Make Sure all Entry Points are Secured– Before you go, make sure all entry points to your home are secure and locked. Apart from the front and back doors, ensure you have locked the basement entrances, attic windows, or second-floor windows if any.
Avoid Public Announcement of Holidays – It is highly recommended that you avoid announcing about your holidays publicly, especially on social media. Nowadays, burglars use social media to monitor potential targets. If they see where you check-in and how long your house will be vacant, chances of your home getting robbed increases manifold.
Protect your property while you enjoy a long and refreshing holiday this summer by installing an advanced and high-end home alarm system. We offer home alarm and office security systems. We also specialise in alarm installation services in Melbourne.

Throughout the years, we've had the privilege of attending many industry awards nights to toast our clients and recognize their achievements in the homebuilding industry. But this year's SoCal Awards was extra memorable for us.
GJ collaborated with the Greater Sales & Marketing Council to help bring the theme of "Soarin' over SoCal' to life. With the event taking place at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, we agreed that there couldn't be a more fitting theme. From the desert to the valley, the beaches to the mountains, we know what a special place Southern California is and wanted to bring out the best of the area in the event branding. We took the theme to new heights with a motion graphics video, event invitations, email marketing, awards program, set design and more – all of which incorporated some of our favorite SoCal icons.
And it wouldn't be a memorable night at the SoCal Awards without the golden trophies! We are proud of all of our clients who were nominated for – and won – awards for the best in sales, marketing and design.

Q: Create a HTML table from nested maps (and vectors) I'm trying to create a table (a work schedule) I have coded previously using python, I think it would be a nice introduction to the Clojure language for me.
I have very little experience in Clojure (or lisp in that matter) and I've done my rounds in google and a good bit of trial and error but can't seem to get my head around this style of coding.
Here is my sample data (will be coming from an sqlite database in the future):
(def smpl2 (ref {"Salaried"
             [{"John Doe" ["12:00-20:00" nil nil nil "11:00-19:00"]}
              {"Mary Jane" [nil "12:00-20:00" nil nil nil "11:00-19:00"]}]
             "Shift Manager"
             [{"Peter Simpson" ["12:00-20:00" nil nil nil "11:00-19:00"]}
              {"Joe Jones" [nil "12:00-20:00" nil nil nil "11:00-19:00"]}]
             "Other"
             [{"Super Man" ["07:00-16:00" "07:00-16:00" "07:00-16:00"
                       "07:00-16:00" "07:00-16:00"]}]}))

I was trying to step through this originally using for then moving onto doseq and finally domap (which seems more successful) and dumping the contents into a html table (my original python program outputed this from a sqlite database into an excel spreadsheet using COM).
Here is my attempt (the create-table fn):
(defn html-doc [title & body]
  (html (doctype "xhtml/transitional")
    [:html [:head [:title title]] [:body body]]))

(defn create-table []
  [:h1 "Schedule"]
  [:hr]
  [:table (:style "border: 0; width: 90%")
   [:th "Name"][:th "Mon"][:th "Tue"][:th "Wed"]
   [:th "Thur"][:th "Fri"][:th "Sat"][:th "Sun"]
   [:tr
    (domap [ct @smpl2]
       [:tr [:td (key ct)]
        (domap [cl (val ct)]
           (domap [c cl]
              [:tr [:td (key c)]]))])
    ]])

(defroutes tstr
  (GET "/" ((html-doc "Sample" create-table)))
  (ANY "*" 404))

That outputs the table with the sections (salaried, manager, etc) and the names in the sections, I just feel like I'm abusing the domap by nesting it too many times as I'll probably need to add more domaps just to get the shift times in their proper columns and the code is getting a 'dirty' feel to it.
I apologize in advance if I'm not including enough information, I don't normally ask for help on coding, also this is my 1st SO question :).
If you know any better approaches to do this or even tips or tricks I should know as a newbie, they are definitely welcome.
Thanks.

A: There's no way to avoid some kind of nested loop.  But you don't need domap at all, Compojure is smart enough (sometimes) to expand a seq for you.  list and map and for are enough.  For example Michał Marczyk's answer, or:
(defn map-tag [tag xs]
  (map (fn [x] [tag x]) xs))

(defn create-table []
  (list
   [:h1 "Schedule"]
   [:hr]
   [:table {:style "border: 0; width: 90%"}
    [:tr (map-tag :th ["Name" "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri" "Sat" "Sun"])]
    [:tr (for [[category people] smpl2]
           (list* [:tr [:td category]]
                  (for [person people
                        [name hours] person]
                    [:tr [:td name] (map-tag :td hours)])))]]))

The "map over a seq and wrap everything in the same tag" pattern is common enough that I like to use a helper function for it sometimes.
Compojure expands one level of seq for you.  So you can throw some stuff into a list to get tags to appear sequentially in your HTML output, which I did to get the h1 and hr to show up.  In your code, you're just throwing the h1 and hr away.
But note that it only expands one level.  When you have a list of lists, or a list of seqs, the outer seq will expand but the inner ones won't.
user> (println (html (list [:div "foo"] (for [x [1 2 3]] [:div x]))))

foo
clojure.lang.LazySeq@ea73bbfd

See how the inner seq makes Compojure barf.  Look into compojure.html.gen/expand-seqs to see how this works, or change/fix it if you care to.
This can be an issue when you have nested for or a for in a list, since for returns a lazy seq.  But you just have to avoid having a seq-in-a-seq.  I use list* above.  A combination of list and html would work too.  There are lots of other ways.
user> (println (html (list* [:div "foo"] (for [x [1 2 3]] [:div x]))))

foo

1

2

3

user> (println (html (list [:div "foo"] (html (for [x [1 2 3]] [:div x])))))

foo

1

2

3

A: I think you've got a few minor problems with your code. I've made an attempt at correcting them in the code below. Testing this with Compojure 0.3.2, I dare say that it works. (Feel free to point out anything that requires improvement or seems not to work for you, of course.)
(use 'compojure) ; you'd use a ns form normally

;;; I'm not using a ref here; this doesn't change much,
;;; though with a ref / atom / whatever you'd have to take care
;;; to dereference it once per request so as to generate a consistent
;;; (though possibly outdated, of course) view of data;
;;; this doesn't come into play here anyway
(def smpl2 {"Salaried"      [{"John Doe" ["12:00-20:00" nil nil nil "11:00-19:00"]}
