Working as a private chef has its drawbacks and its perks. One of the positives was that my clients would often pass along interesting dishes that I might not have otherwise tried, including this red lentil curry recipe with spinach.
When I was cooking for more than one family on a weekly basis, I would get completely burnt out. My biceps constantly ached from lugging groceries. I began resenting perfectly nice people who I'd built a relationship with over the years for being difficult to communicate with or making fussy, last minute requests. Worse, I was so exhausted by the time I got home that I rarely had the energy to give myself similar levels of self-care in the kitchen.
If you've read my book, then you know these were the pre-Wellness Project years when I really let myself unravel.
But once I was able to recognize my descent from Health Mountain for what it was, I quickly started taking measures to limit my professional cooking. This was no easy feat, considering I needed these odd food jobs to make a living.
Keeping this quadrant of my professional patchwork quilt to one client a week was necessary though for my own self-preservation. It allowed me to truly embrace some of those other perks, mainly using the time commitment as a way to structure my week, try new things in the kitchen and be creative on someone else's dime. And by pairing back my professional cooking, I was able to create more time in my own routine to meal prep like a pro (more on my tips for that here).
This red lentil recipe from Naturally Ella was one of the dishes that my weekly client requested I make for her once, and it has become a lifelong fan favorite of this site. I've been following Erin's work for years and love her beautiful aesthetic and eye towards healthy dishes. We were also both featured in Food & Wine in the same issue for our healthy takes on comfort food, so there's no surprise that this simple lentil curry was such a hit for me and my clients.
I made the one pot red lentil recipe even easier by using ground spices. I'm really terrible about keeping whole cumin seeds in my spice cabinet, even though I know the ground versions aren't as flavorful. One of my tricks, which I'm always teaching in my cooking classes, is to make sure you're giving the dried spices a little bit of time to toast on the bottom of the pan before you add the liquid, in this case coconut milk. The direct heat will invigorate their flavor in a way that adding them directly to water or broth never will.
In this case, the end result tastes so great, I continue to go with convenience over authenticity for the masala spice blend. There's an new video below showing you exactly how to make the lentil curry from start to finish. I can't wait for you to try it for yourself.
My jar of red lentils has gone untouched for a few months since I've been off FODMAPs. But as soon as I reincorporate legumes, this masala red lentil recipe will be the first that I return to. Even with the wilted spinach, the dish keeps really well in the fridge as a make-ahead meal. I usually eat it alongside quinoa or veggie patties. It's just the kind of stick-to-your ribs without clogging your heart comfort food that I love this time of year.
You know, when it's supposed to be April 16th, but instead is January 57th.

This red lentil curry recipe was inspired by Naturally Ella. It's packed with leafy greens, thickened with dairy-free coconut milk, spiced with a mix of Indian anti-inflammatory ingredients, and finished with some sliced avocado.
In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Saute the onion over medium-high heat until soft, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, serrano, cumin, garam masala, and coriander. Cook until very fragrant, 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the tomatoes and add the salt, scraping up any brown bits that formed on the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the tomato chunks have softened, 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the lentils and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the lentils are tender, 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Fold in the spinach and cook until wilted, 3 minutes. Serve alongside coconut rice.
This is a great make-ahead meal and can keep in the fridge for up to week.
You cooked for 100?! I feel faint at the idea. Great recipe btw, red lentils are the only kind of legume I can eat without, um, producing fumes.
I love lentils. This looks perfect for the 100th snow storm we are in the midst of in Chicago.
Yum. I just made it for breakfast! Delicious.
yay hel! thank you for making it!
This looks like a real keeper. Looking foward to trying it. I just discovered your blog & spent the evening reading & pinning your recipes. So artfully photographed too. Love it.
My new favorite recipe! Hearty, fragrant, delicious and even loved by my six year old. Definitely made with love! I am now making it for a second time and I almost always just try recipes once for creative fun. Thank you!
Oh, my. This was so delicious. Especially reheated!
yay! I'm so glad! thanks for making!
Can you provide the amounts if we have cumin and coriander seeds please? Thank you.
I'd get those from Naturally Ella's post on spinach and lentil masala. My recipe is doubled, so just check there for the spice measurements and double them. Enjoy!
Very delicious! I didn't have red lentils, but it was great with green (just took longer to cook). Will be making again very soon. I even liked the left overs, and I'm very picky about leftovers. Microwave was fine for that. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for making and reporting back! So good to know it worked with green lentils too. Did you have to use more liquid? Glad you're enjoying leftovers!
I did end up having to add half a cup more liquid since the cook time was so much more. In making it again, I just precooked the green lentils, and that was much better!
absolutely delicious, just cooked it and can't wait to re-heat it tomorrow for lunch!
amazing! so glad you tried this red lentil recipe! it's great for make ahead / brown bagging for lunch the next day! lucky you.
Thank you for this fantastic recipe! I had it on my to-make list for quite a while; finally got around to making it today and it was a huge hit! We like spicy, so I added 2 teaspoons of red chili flakes in with the spices. So delicious! I will definitely be making this again.
I made this for dinner tonight, it was FABULOUS! Even my picky kids ate it! This recipe will definitely be going into my dinner rotation!
When you say coriander, do you mean fresh or ground?
Thank you, thank you. You already know this is a great receipe but let me tell you why it is one of the best. I have Multiple Scerosis which, as i'm sure you know, affects my body (hands specifically) and my short term memory. So No i don't have a stove but i do have an electric wok. This is a perfect receipe for the wok. I buy my veggies cut up and everything else is a staple in my pantry with the exception of the coconut milk. No problem it will be from now on. I can't remember the last time i actually cooked something so thank you for that. I hope to see more receipes that i can make….my children will be so greatfull.
Would it be possible to make this in the slow cooker?
Probably! I'm not sure of the timing though. If you give it a try, report back!
I made this exactly as you prescribed and it was completely delicious! Thank you so much. It is going to become a staple! I have the idea to substitute the coconut milk which is highly calorific for almond milk for a change and up the spice a bit. I want to make it more often and can't face the coconut milk calories every single time even though it is fabulous! Ha….. I am looking forward to making it with almond milk later. Thank you so much for a gorgeous recipe and photos!
Can I substitute the dry lentils for canned lentils? Or does it need that longer cooking time for the liquids/flavours to thicken/absorb?
Absolutely! I would let some of the sauce thicken though before adding them. Simmer it without the lentils for at least half the time mentioned or it will be too soupy. Good luck!
I, too, made this with green lentils tonight. (It took 35 minutes to cook – not bad at all.) And it was great! I actually use a half a can of tomato paste instead of diced tomatoes out of necessity, and it was still very tasty and filling.
Something I have been curious about: when a recipe calls for lentils, do they expect them to have been soaked overnight? I never know when cooking with lentils, and I can never seem to get my lentils soft enough, even when following recipes. Is there something I should be doing to prepare lentils before cooking with them?
not usually, but you certainly can! if you soak they will cook slightly faster and require a bit less liquid. I didn't soak mine for this one. To get them soft you might just have to simmer a little longer. Lentils are tough to judge – you'll always want to cook to taste.
yay! i'm so glad Jillian!
I have a go-to red lentil recipe, but it was getting a little stale. Found this on Pinterest and made it last night. I increased the amount of spices a bit and used a jalepeno pepper instead of a serrano because that's what I had. Served it with a garnish of cilantro and avocado. It was delicious. I set the sriracha on the table because it wasn't very hot (and we like to breathe fire), but it was so delicious that we didn't even use any sriracha! One of your commenters mentioned that they added red chili flakes, which I might do next time, but like I said, it's delicious without the heat! And I think the best part is that I always have all of the ingredients on hand, so I can make it without a special trip to the grocery store or additional line item on the grocery list!
This recipe is ridiculously delicious, thanks Phoebe!
Good morning Phoebe, i'm making this wonderful recipe again. Thought you might like to know of some changes i made this time. Since frozen veggies seem to be the order of the month, both inside and outside, i added frozen california blend. It might need to cook a little longer. I have also put in some tumeric. If it tastes as good as it looks it should be outstanding. I'll let you know how it goes. Stay warm.
Looks beautiful, dying to make, but was wondering about using dried lentils… I'm not that experienced with lentils & just wanted to know if they should be pre-cooked or just added dried?
I am single and living in HOT SW Florida. This will freeze won't it?
I make any kind of recipe. Doesn't have to be for cold weather.
so glad I stumbled upon this recipe. I have already made it twice and we love it! I used half and half the first time and just 2% milk the second time and each time was very good. I love the creaminess of the recipe and the spice combination! Thanks for sharing!
I loved this dish! I took a shortcut by using an already made Ginger & Garlic paste (mine was by Smith & Jones product of India). It saves a lot of time when I prepare Indian dishes! This is the 2nd time I'm making this dish in a week. The coconut gives great flavors. I covered the dish the entire cooking time which made the steam give softness to the tomatoes and then the spinach. Bravo on such a great dish!
Thanks Lenore! I'm so glad you liked it! Never used one of those premade pastes before but will have to look out for one at the market!
Made this last night. It was fantastic!
Made this for dinner tonight; it was delicious. We have enough leftovers for tomorrow night also and I'm sure it will be even better. This is definitely going in the rotation. Thanks!
My first foray into cooking with lentils. A very easy recipe to follow, can't wait to try it tonight when my hungry husband comes home.
I'm making this now – should have asked earlier! Using split lentils. It does not specify whole vs split so in wondering if I should cut down the cook time!
So I cooked it about the same time as the recipe said with split lentils (I tasted part way thru to check). This turned out delicious!! I'm still eating it from Sunday! Great easy cold weather dish!
just to add to the accolades for this amazing recipe … I made this tonight and it definitely ranks in my top 5 favorites of my entire dinner recipe rotation. I used light coconut milk and upped the spinach to 8 oz. This tastes exactly like a dish at our favorite Indian restaurant. Love it, thank you so much!!
This was soooo good!! My boyfriend and I, who are total meat fiends, both said it was one of the best meals we've ever made. I don't even really like lentils, and I still want to eat it every day. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Mine came out a bit too sweet. Added a tablespoon of lemon juice and voila! Delicious!
really? did you per chance use sweetened coconut milk? If so, I'll make a note on the recipe. Nothing in there should be sweet!
I'm a vegan college student and have made this 2-3 times a month since I found it! Delicious, quick, cheap, and healthy. Thank you for this staple in my meal prep routine!
Allergy to coconut milk. Can you substitute yogurt for the coconut milk?
definitely! it will just be a little tangier. I would add 1/2 a cup and see how it tastes. You can add more depending on color and taste. I would sub 1 1/2 cups veggie stock for the coconut and just add the yogurt off the heat at the end. Hope this helps!
Just made this for dinner tomorrow. So simple and so so so delicious! Yum. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Did you have to soak the lentils? If so, how long?
Also, think I can use a crockpot for this?!
definitely! i'm not an expert but i would say cook on low for 4 hours or so. you don't need to soak the red lentils – they cook quickly as is!
This is a delicious dish & easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing a great recipe !!
We were just discussing about a big jar of red lentils we have in the pantry last night and while catching up with our favorite blogger friends after our Easter break, BOOM; we stumbled upon this majestic recipe! Never had them with coconut milk,and are definitely trying them within the next couple of days!
Thanx so much for this dear Phoebe!
This is so amazing! I've been making a double batch and then having it for a super healthy lunch. Makes enough for nearly two weeks, unless my husband gets into it. I've been adding whatever greens we have in the garden, lately cabbage and kale. Works beautifully in this recipe. Thanks!
Have you made this in the insta pot? I'm a beginner with the insta pot but I love it… but don't know how to convert times…. etc. Also not sure coconut milk would work in insta pot?
sorry I'm no expert either. coconut milk should be fine though! I'd guess it takes about 10 minutes.
I just made this in the instant pot and cooled it like I have other dal recipes. I soak lentils in hot water for an hour and rinse well with cold water before cooking to keep the foaming down and reduce gassiness. Sautéed everything in the instant pot first and ressure cooked for 20mins, quick released, then whisked for texture before adding spinach and letting sit until wilted. No problems.
Thanks for a terrific recipe!! Made it as is, except I added an extra 1/2 tsp of each of the spices…because we like bold flavours. I thought that it looked like soooooo much spinach but it cooked down to the perfect amount! It's a keeper for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Phoebe, your blog has become my go to page to try out new dishes. So far the ones I've tried, have been so delicious. Thank you so much!
Just found this recipe. Looks good, will give it a whirl. Usually just throw spices in but I will follow this one properly. John from Australia.
Today I tried this recipe for lunch. In under an hour and with very little skill, this recipe was accomplished, emerging gloriously satisfying and healthy. Served with homemade naan roti, this is a perfect recipe.
I love this recipe but when do you add the salt? I can't seem to find it in the instructions.
wow – you are so right Stephanie! Can't believe hundreds of people have made this and never pointed it out. Adding now. you can't go wrong though.
Phoebe, so glad I found this recipe! We have made it (double batch) a few times now, varying between the vegetarian recipe and adding chicken. We sent it to both of our kids…they report that apparently lamb is pretty amazing in it as well. I spend a lot of time in the gym, and this dish is not only full of everything I need to fuel my body, but it is absolutely delish. I heat up the leftovers at work and everyone in the office is curious as to what smells so amazing. Def a staple in our (and our kids') household.
yay! I'm so thrilled greg!
Made this last night in the instant pot and it was fantastic. Have not made dal with coconut milk before and it gave it a richness and slight creaminess that everyone loved. The added spinach made me feel better about our Indian dinners, that often lack vegetables of feel like they are superfluous. I did change it up with some extra traditional Indian spices, and added 1/2 T cumin seed, 1/2 T mustard seed, and 1/4 t Asafetida just before sautéing the onion and 1T of fenugreek just after adding tomato. I'm sure it would be delicious without, but these are what has given my past efforts at dal the real Indian restaurant aroma and taste.
if you have those spices on hand, that's wonderful!! my audience doesn't usually have such a robust pantry but glad you made it more authentic!!
This has become a go-to. I love it, make it once a month. Thank you so much for posting it!
Purchased Red Lentil first time a couple of months ago as I needed 1/2 cup to include in a Healing Turmeric Cauliflower Soup. So I'm left with a 2 lb bag and had to find a recipe in which to use them. Came across yours on my search; as my husband and I enjoy curry, and are trying to eat healthier in our later years, I decided to try it last night. Made a couple of substitutes with what I had in, i.e. Thai Chili peppers (2) and frozen spinach but I'm sure I did not change the integrity of the recipe.
This is definitely one I will make again. YUM!!!
Cheers from Suzanne in Ontario, Canada.
Perfect ingredients. Perfect taste. I enjoyed the recipe very much. Great meatless option too.
This was delicious!!! I didn't add onion, but I don't think it made much of a difference.

Q: Specifying column with multiple datatypes in Spark Schema I am trying to create schema to parse json into spark dataframe
I have column value in json which could be either struct or string
"value": {
    "entity-type": "item",
    "id": "someid",
    "numeric-id": 30
  }

"value": "SomePicture.jpg",

How can i specify that in the schema

A: {
  "type": ["object", "string"],
  "properties": { ... }
}

https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/index.html

A: Solved it using below approach
In JSON, we can do the way you specified above.
But while defining spark schema it doesn't work
So for Spark schema I had to fetch value in String and then determine if value is going to be of structtype, based on certain conditions and then use from_json(value, new StructType())
to convert string back to JSON

Shifting tourism trends point to a new traveler market for Whistler, according to recent Statistics Canada visitor numbers.
American numbers were down six per cent in October from September and down 13 per cent from the same month in 2004. And while visitors from Asia were down in total in October from September, quarterly stats show an increase. Between September and October of this year 11,300 visitors from China visited Canada, an increase of 10.8 per cent in that one month. This correlates with 322,000 visits from Asia to Canada between April and June of 2005, a three per cent increase from the same 2004 quarter.
Those numbers will increase when negotiations between China and Canada over travel visa requirements are finalized by next summer, making travel easier for China's middle class, said Cindy Gobin, Tourism B.C.'s market development manager for Asia.
Gobin said Whistler needs to make some changes to accommodate this new market.
"Whistler's got it made in that its reputation is already there," Gobin said. "People know it's relatively easy to get back and forth there from Vancouver."
But language is an issue.
"They're still a little hesitant to come, knowing there aren't the language services they need in Whistler."
Changes are in the works, according to Tourism Whistler. The tourism marketing organization recently had 5,000 copies of a Whistler brochure printed in Mandarin for distribution at trade shows in China.
"It was a challenge to try and translate 'Whistler' into a Mandarin character," said Monica Leech, senior sales manager for international markets.
Leech said procedures are being drafted for readying Whistler's hospitality sector to accommodate Chinese travelers.
"In addition to a workshop we held last summer, we'll be drafting a check list for local businesses, things like: Are menus available in Mandarin? Where do we need signage in Mandarin?"
She said Tourism Whistler also works with tour operators both in Canada and China.
Tourism B.C. recently opened an office in South Korea and is also planning a seminar at a Korean ski area for travel agents and media.
"We're going to take them skiing for the afternoon and to dinner at Canada Club, a restaurant in the resort," Gobin said.
Whistler will definitely be one of several B.C. ski resorts highlighted at the seminar, she said.

Smart Machines Join Humans in Tracking Africa Ebola Outbreak
Web sites devour piles of disease-related information but still keep a person in the loop to help make sense of the data glut
By Larry Greenemeier on September 24, 2014
Health care officials and aid workers attempting to trace the progression of the Ebola virus disease outbreak that has claimed more than 2,800 lives so far (pdf) have come to rely heavily on a handful of disease-monitoring Web sites that act as pivotal hubs for processing information. Different sites serve slightly different functions, but for the most part they exist to manage the data glut created by countless news articles, social media feeds, medical reports and e-mailed on-scene accounts.
These sites use a combination of artificial intelligence software and human expertise to track, report and map information related to public health crises, often faster than government ministries and international watchdogs can respond. One site, HealthMap, used this hybrid model to spot signs of the emerging Ebola problem days before the World Health Organization (WHO) issued its first report.
Scientific American In-Depth Report, "Ebola: What You Need to Know"
HealthMap's automated text-processing algorithm has been tracking the Ebola outbreak since March 14, when the Guinean news site Africaguinee.com reported "a strange fever" in the country's Macenta prefecture "marked by anal and nasal bleeding." Within a few days HealthMap had picked up on a report by the Standard Digital news site indicating the "mystery hemorrhagic fever" had already claimed a few dozen victims. The doctor in charge of Guinea's health ministry stated Ebola was being considered as the culprit, although these would have been the first recorded Ebola cases in that country. Authorities had soon narrowed down the cause to either Ebola or a related disease known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever. By March 22 a Nigerian news site caught HealthMap's attention with an article that put the words "Ebola" and "outbreak" together.
Plotting help
The Children's Hospital Informatics Program launched HealthMap in 2006 as a way of using the growing number of digital resources—the Internet, RSS feeds and e-mail lists, to name a few—to plot information about emerging diseases worldwide on a Google Map. HealthMap flagged the current Ebola outbreak for a number of reasons—in particular, its spread across borders from Guinea to Liberia, Sierra Leone and several other neighboring countries.
HealthMap automates data acquisition, filtering and characterization of information so that it flows from the source through to the Web page without any human intervention. At the same time, the site's experts in infectious disease and public health review this content to correct and refine the automated classifications, says Clark Freifeld, a research software developer at the Children's Hospital Informatics Program. The analysts ensure, for example, that running statistics of infections and deaths the site publishes are as accurate as possible, something software has difficulty with because different information sources report different numbers across different timeframes. "We have the technical framework in place to make [posting information] easier," he adds, but "our approach has always been a human-in-the-loop model."
Although this is not the first major health crisis that HealthMap has covered—the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic was one of its largest efforts—the Ebola outbreak has pushed the site in new directions in an effort to provide information for a variety of institutions, including the WHO, the United Nations and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HealthMap can now process data from tens of thousands of Web pages hourly in 15 different languages. And on Monday HealthMap debuted a projection of how the Ebola outbreak might play out over the next few months, the first time the site has attempted to forecast the spread of a disease.
Forward looking
HealthMap's modeling tool for short-term outbreak projections can filter data by country and take into account different control scenarios. The tool itself, which projects a worse-case scenario of 14,176 Ebola cases in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone by October 26, is currently built on a model developed by a Toronto-based team of medical and public health researchers, although HealthMap may try other methods down the road, says John Brownstein, HealthMap co-founder and an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
The Toronto model is a mathematical approach to tracking the expansion and contraction of outbreaks—known as Incidence Decay and Exponential Adjustment (IDEA)—that considers factors that might slow epidemic growth. Such factors might include more adequate isolation of Ebola victims or the arrival of international assistance. IDEA is well suited for providing rapid assessments of outbreak growth and public health interventions, according to the researchers. "It's more of a time series approach where we are applying modeling to derive estimates of future cases," Brownstein says.
HealthMap's machine-learning algorithms for tracking an outbreak's progression assign retrieved data to one of five categories: breaking news, warnings about possible outbreak conditions, references to past outbreaks, research and other contextual information, and events unrelated to any outbreak. These filters are "a key component of the system, and especially useful when we see large volumes of data around highly visible outbreaks," Freifeld says.
Disease wiki
The site excels at natural-language processing, says Larry Madoff, founder and editor of the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED), a global electronic mailing list that receives and summarizes reports on disease outbreaks and that was one of HealthMap's first sources of data. "They [are] able to suck in our reports and with reasonable accuracy put them on a map," he says, adding that HealthMap helped automate what ProMED had been doing since 1994.
HealthMap's algorithm gauges the significance of information based primarily on how often the same material appears in multiple sources, although it does not rate the information based on the source itself, whether it is a New York Times article or a bulletin from a local health ministry. The site does not "take sides" with regard to its sources' credibility, Freifeld says. Instead, he adds, it follows the logic that significant events tend to see multiple reports from a range of sources.
When it became clear a few months ago that the Ebola outbreak was growing worse and would not be contained anytime soon, the HealthMap team developed a timeline interface to better organize and visualize its reports. "We're not sure how many people would have predicted it would be this bad," Brownstein says. The 2014 Ebola Outbreak timeline includes more than 130 entries and has had over 1 million page views since going live in mid-July. Brownstein described HealthMap as "almost like the Wikipedia of emerging infectious diseases" in a March 2010 ScientificAmerican.com article. HealthMap works because "it's a very human-driven but Internet-based system," Madoff says, adding, "It's part social network, part news service."
HealthMap is not the only infectious-disease surveillance site. In addition to newer sites such as Google Flu Trends, there are more established efforts such as ProMED and the Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN), first developed by Health Canada in collaboration with WHO in 1997. GPHIN software retrieves relevant articles every 15 minutes from news-feed aggregators Al Bawaba and Factiva based on specific search queries that the site updates regularly, according to WebMD's Medscape site. In addition to software-selected articles, the GPHIN database is populated by submissions from human analysts who comb open-access Web sites in search of relevant public health information.
These and other disease-monitoring sites provide a crucial early-warning system that puts information in front of the public as soon as it becomes available, Madoff says. Looking back to the beginning of AIDS awareness in the 1980s, the disease's origins stretched back 20 or 30 years before it came to the U.S. and was brought to the world's attention, he says, adding, "Hard to believe this could happen now."

Agnostics don't know either way, which is the correct answer, according to a statement from the group this morning.
As atheists and monotheists continue to shriek at each other at an increasingly loud volume over whether there is, or is not a God watching over everything, agnostics quietly made their point from their comfy chair positioned on top of the fence.
"Look, my position is fairly straightforward. I don't know if God exists, and that statement can't be disproven," pointed out agnostic, Simon Williams.
Atheist, Jay Cooper, said, "Ugh, bloody fence-sitters.
"They never get stuck in on Facebook. How are you supposed to get anyone riled up by saying 'I'm can't be sure either way'? It's just daft.
"At least I stick to my convictions when I call people retarded for believing in Jesus.
Christian, Hayley Rice, said, "I agree with Jay, which is rare.
"I don't know how Simon can look at all the available evidence and not completely agree with me.
"That said, a base hatred of agnosticism is about the only thing that brings Jay and me together.

Leading UK Insurer Hamilton Fraser Partners With Trov To Provide All Digital Renters Insurance To Its Customers
Trov (www.trov.com), a global leader in embedded insurance, today announces that Hamilton Fraser (www.hamiltonfraser.co.uk), a leading provider of insurance and services to the private rented sector, has signed-on as one of Trov's newest partners, enabling the insurer to offer digital insurance products to its customers by deploying Trov's white-labelled solution.
In addition to Hamilton Fraser, who will offer its customers digital renters insurance, Trov is welcoming four major proptech brands to its roster, including ideal flatmate, a flat sharing platform, Movebubble, a property rental platform, good2rent, the tenant referencing solution, and Vaboo, a customer engagement platform used by letting agents which manages rewards for renters and landlords. The new partners join Trov's growing embedded insurance customer-base which includes fintechs, retailers, neo-banks, utilities, and proptechs such as Love to Rent, OpenBrix, Moovshack, and Movinghub, all of whom onboarded earlier this year.
With the majority of the UK now returning to a typical daily routine, which will involve leaving homes and possessions unattended for the first time in over a year, Trov's flexible renters insurance, which is powered by its innovative technology, will bring a welcomed peace of mind to many of its partners' customers.
"By enabling our partners to deliver a compelling user experience while helping to close consumer protection gaps, our embedded insurance capabilities increase customer loyalty, lifetime value, and delivers high-margin recurring revenue. Our APIs and no-code options combined with a growing network of insurance products mean that digital brands will benefit from offering a wide array of flexible insurance products to their customers." comments, Scott Walchek, Founder and CEO of Trov.
Eddie Hooker, CEO of Hamilton Fraser adds "Having been providing high quality insurance for the last 25 years, we know that in order to meet the ever-changing needs of the customer, we must always be searching for new ways to adapt our business. Our collaboration with Trov will allow us to continue offering the most reliable products to our customers as well as keeping us at the forefront of innovation in our sector. We have been protecting and working with landlords for over two decades, and we are excited to now be able to expand our service to include and offer flexible renters insurance to the wider pool of customers."
Powering the next generation of insurance, Trov's technology is purpose built to facilitate the seamless distribution of digital insurance products. In 2021, Trov has a strong queue of brand partners readying to launch not only renters insurance, but other (soon-to-be announced) P&C products.

Q: Horizontal fixing of Tikz nodes (Please feel free to offer a better and more precise subject title.)
I have two vertical chains with different count of nodes in it.
But I want to visualize that some nodes of the right belong to one of the left. They need to appear in the same row/line.
In the example code below you see Y and two nodes should appear on the right side of it.

The problem here is that I can not handle the right chain like it has 4 nodes and join them. Using \matrix make it impossible to use chain.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,positioning,chains,scopes}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    [
        myright/.style={
            draw},
        myleft/.style={
            myright,
            on chain,
            fill=cyan!30}
    ]
    % LEFT
    {[start chain=L going below,
      every node/.append style=myleft]
        \node {X};
        \node {Y};
        \node {Z};
    }

    % RIGHT
    {[start chain=R going below]
        \node [myright,right=of L-1] {belong to X};

        \matrix [right=of L-2]
        {
            \node [myright] {belong to Y};\\
            \node [myright] {also belong to Y};\\
        };

        \node [myright,right=of L-3] {belong to Z};
    }
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

btw: This question is related to this one about drawing PRISMA flow chart.

A: As I understand the current version of this question, the picture you've drawn places the nodes correctly but does not allow them to be joined with the ease of chained nodes, because the right column of nodes are not chained. Also, perhaps you want some separation between the two nodes belonging to Y, though I'm not sure.
Note that the best way to do this kind of thing is very heavily dependent on the details of the diagram in question, your own familiarity with different aspects of TikZ and different libraries, and whether the diagram is a one-off or one of a sequence of similar diagrams. There's a balance to be struck here between efficiency/elegance in coding the diagram (which might involve a great deal of effort to set up) and ease of set up (if any).
Just given the current example, if I've understood the issue correctly, I would try something like this.

*

*Create the left hand chain of nodes, including a branch from X going right.

*Place the topmost right node on the branch from X.

*Position a matrix to the right of Y, aligning with the top right node.

*Position the bottom right node to the right of Z, aligning with the top right node.

*Create the second, right hand chain, adding the nodes on the right to the chain and joining them as they are added.
This is a little messy in terms of naming and mix of methods but you end up with two chains of nodes which can be easily joined and referred to. Note that there is no problem with a node being in more than one chain or a matrix and a chain or....

If you do not want to separate the nodes belonging to Y, delete the row sep. If you do not want them joined, delete the relevant [join].
\documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,positioning,chains,scopes}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  [
    myleft/.style={
      draw,
      fill=cyan!30}
  ]
  % LEFT
  {[start chain=L going below,
    every on chain/.append style={myleft},
    every node/.append style={on chain},
    ]
    \node {X};
    {[start branch=X going right,
      every on chain/.append style={fill=none}
      ]
      \node {belong to X};
    }
    \node {Y};
    \node {Z};
  }
  \matrix (m) [row sep=2.5pt, matrix of nodes, every node/.append style={draw}] at (L-2 -| L/X-2)
  {
    belong to Y\\
    also belong to Y\\
  };
  \node (z2) [draw] at (L-3 -| L/X-2) {belong to Z};
  % RIGHT
  {[start chain=R going below]
    \chainin (L/X-2);
    \chainin (m-1-1) [join];
    \chainin (m-2-1) [join];
    \chainin (z2) [join];
  }
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Now your example is far more simple as picture present on given link. Main differences is, that the right branch has only vertically spaced nodes. Considering this is probably on grid option what you looking for:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,positioning,chains,scopes}

    \begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
  node distance = 10mm and 30mm,
    on grid,
    start chain = A going below,
    start chain = B going below,
 myright/.style = {draw, minimum height=4ex, minimum width=33mm,
                   on chain=A},
  myleft/.style = {draw, fill=cyan!30, minimum height=4ex,
                   on chain=B}
    ]
% LEFT
    \begin{scope}[every node/.style={myleft}]
\node {X}; % name=B-1
\node {Y};
\node {Z};
    \end{scope}
% RIGHT
    \begin{scope}[every node/.style={myright}]
\node [right=of B-1]    {belong to X}; % name=A-1
\node {belong to Y};
\node {also belong to /};
\node {belong to no one};
    \end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
    \end{document}

In above MWE distances of grid is determined by node distance. Nodes are anchored to the grid with its center. This means, that if they aren't of the same width, they will not have aligned left (or right) borders.
Two chains are selected for simplest node naming (left are B-1, B-2, B-3, right are A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4).

To this two branches it is easy add one more branch on the right (as has mentioned picture), but more effort is needed, if on the of the right branch are two nodes ...
Addendum (1):
Partly considered images on question flowchart-tikz, the upgrade of the above MWE is:

which gives:

The contains (i hope so) enough comments that is its structure is clear. Mai goal in code writing has been its concise and to be clear. In comparison with the first MEW, it has novelty suspend join, by which is simplified use of join macro in right branch of flowchart.
Addendum (2):
Your question is like *Variable structure System, for which seems not fulfill Filipov's criteria (and consequently without sliding to some equilibrium point ...) .
Let assume:

*

*that second and third node (from top down) in right branch are have common blue node in the left branch

*height of these nodes in right branch is not fixed

*blue node (in the left branch) span distance from top of upper node to bottom of lower node (in right branch, to which it belong)

This can be achieved with following:

*

*measuring distance, which blue node should span and separeteli design this node

*introduce fake nodes for maintain left branch on grid

For this I add two libraries: calc and fit, define fake nodes and real left nodes. The code has enough comments (I hope so), that it is easy to anderstand, what it doing.

Energy and climate change issues are at the core of ELM's policy advocacy work. We work to defend and strengthen policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase local, renewable energy options for Massachusetts customers. We also monitor the state's progress on reducing emissions and investing in local energy resources along with our partners in the Global Warming Solutions Project (GWSP).
A diversified energy portfolio will keep energy dollars in our state, create local jobs, and protect Massachusetts residents. Although climate change is a global challenge, our energy investments on the state level represent some of the most important decisions in protecting our communities from climate change. Investments made today will either lock us into fossil fuel infrastructure or create a viable pathway to meeting our emissions reductions requirements under the Global Warming Solutions Act.
ELM supports legislation that would require home sellers to obtain an energy efficiency rating and disclose it to potential buyers. This could be accomplished via the existing home inspection process or an electric utility program that offers free home energy audits.
Amends the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) to require carbon neutrality by 2050. It would authorize carbon pricing, identify pathways to eliminate carbon from all sectors, and require 2030 and 2040 interim emission limits.
Puts a price on carbon emissions and creates new revenue while ensuring low and moderate income families are protected. In order to meet our GWSA mandates, we need to accelerate our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This market based approach would result in significant emissions reductions.
ELM is a founding member of the Massachusetts Campaign for a Clean Energy Future, uniting groups statewide around the goal of driving down global warming pollution by placing a price on carbon emissions. Together with allies in environmental, business, labor, faith, health and civic groups across the state, ELM is working to advance this next milestone in climate leadership.
Assessments show that Massachusetts has reduced 11% of its carbon pollution below 1990 levels. However, we're not yet on track to reach the GWSA initial mandate of a 25% reduction of global warming pollution by 2020. Additional new tools and systems are needed to keep our longer term mandate in our sights: at least 80% pollution reductions by 2050.
Analysis shows the best way to achieve additional carbon pollution reductions is to place a price on carbon emissions in a tailored policy that reflects Massachusetts' climate, business, worker, equity and institutional needs.

Q: IntelliJ Github Clone from Repository not working I am trying to clone a project from a github repository by link. I do File > Project from Version Control > Git and it opens up the window. Testing the connection returns successful but when I press Clone nothing happens. Can anyone help with this?

A: What IDE version do you use? There used to be an issue with missing/wrong git client installed - Clone failed silently in that case - see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-135954
it has been fixed in the latest version and now IDE should provide a clear feedback.


SHARES in books and newsagents group WH Smith jumped more than 5% in early trade on news that it has finally sold its lossmaking US hotel and airport shops operations.
The $78.5m (£49m) sell-off, which follows a profit warning a few weeks ago, resolves a major problem for incoming chief executive, Kate Swann. She is still working her notice at Argos but is expected to move in to replace Richard Handover by the end of the year.
Handover said the disposals would be 'significantly earnings enhancing'. Its shares rose 19 1/2p to 377p, but later narrowed that gain, trading ahead 9 1/2p to 365p. Smith hit a year's high of 409p in July.
Smith has already written down more than £60m on the US businesses. The cost of closing the head office in Atlanta will be £7m but will save administration costs of £20m a year.
The airport outlets are being sold to Hudson Group for £41m, paid in a cash and loan notes mix. The management team is buying the hotel business in an £8m loan note deal.
The businesses had been profitable for 16 years. But they were hard hit by the US economic downturn and the fall-off in travel following 9/11. The disposals mean Smith will no longer have a presence across the Atlantic although it will operate airport shops in other parts of the world.


See the rooms of children around the world.
Lately I've noticed my kids straying from their children's books to my photo book collection. I love using photo books as a way to open up a child's world, allowing them to imagine things and places outside their reality. One book in heavy rotation is Where Children Sleep by James Mollison. The left side of each photo spread includes portrait of a child against a seamless backdrop with text describing the child's circumstances; the right side, a large image of that child's room. The children have been selected from around the world and live in a wide variety of circumstances.
Find Where Children Sleep at your local library.


So we're almost done with Ramadan, an Islamic holy month originally intended for self-restraint, reflection and connecting with the loftier meanings of life, but traditionally has become a month of getting together with close friends and family and feasting away on tasty traditional Arabic dishes. One of the staples of a Ramadan meal is a soup starter, meant to ease one's palate and stomach into accepting the inevitable gastronomic onslaught that follows. This means that the need for chicken stock to make the soup is of paramount importance to the success of a Ramadan kitchen. Last year my wife and I mistakenly used store-bought stock cubes and used them in almost every soup and every dish; a good friend has since shown us the error of our ways, stock cubes are really bad for you. And they don't taste half as good as the real deal. So our Ramadan cooking has become punctuated with sessions of making chicken stock, and we've become pretty good at it. Below I'll share with you how; it's not at all difficult and is a very healthy and tasty replacement to the evil cubes.
You will need about 2 chickens or 1.5kg of chicken raw skin, bones and trimmings. For the whole chicken alternative it's probably easier to have it quartered and cleaned so that it can fit better into the pot, but don't throw away any bones or skin in the cleaning process, it's there that most of the flavor will come from.
Just throw everything in your very large pot, cover with water (at least 2.5-3L) and bring to a boil, once boiling, lower to a simmer and leave it on the heat for 3-4 hours uncovered. Skim away any foam that appears on the surface. Once it's cooked, remove the big chunks using a slotted spoon and then run it through a colander (for extra clear stock, line your cloander or sieve with a paper towel). The stock you're left with can then be frozen and stored in the freezer for months (or days in the fridge). If you've used actual chickens and not just trimmings just stick them in the fridge or freezer for future cooking.
There's another faster method where the chicken and the aromatics get browned first, I haven't tried it, but it does sound mighty tasty too! Here's a link.

When SV Darmstadt 98 head coach Dirk Schuster recently referred to Aytac Sulu as "one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga", he was not exaggerating.
Darmstadt's no-nonsense skipper is one of the main reasons why the Lilies - back in the Bundesliga following a 33-year absence - have not spent a single second in the relegation zone in 2015/16 and go into the five remaining rounds of fixtures with a four-point cushion on the bottom three.
See for yourselves what the 30-year-old centre-back brings to the table by hitting the play button on the video above.
Sulu is the 2015/16 Bundesliga campaign's highest-scoring defender on seven goals.He made his Bundesliga debut, aged 29.The Heidelberg-born defender has won 64.4 per cent of his attempted challenges.

Green dreamers: How firms are grooming a generation of sustainability thinkers
Teaching kids how to make batteries, design green buildings, prevent forest fires and achieve the SDGs. Eco-Business explores how five firms are tapping the potential of youth to build a more sustainable future.

As climate change and sustainable development edge into the mainstream, no demographic is more influenced and affected by today's environmental and social challenges than young people.
Home to some 700 million youth, Asia Pacific has no shortage of potential to involve young people in shaping a more sustainable world. So local and multinational companies in the region have stepped up their efforts to inspire, invest in and equip a new generation with skills in sustainability as young people take their first steps on the career ladder.
Eco-Business asked five companies—Japanese electronics giant Panasonic, software firm Autodesk, banking group Citigroup, pulp and paper firm Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) and aircraft engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney—about their initiatives to get young people interested in sustainability and engaged with programmes that tackle real-world environmental and social problems.
Panasonic: Teaching future customers
Eight years ago, Panasonic set out to provide environmental education to two million children globally as part of its Green Plan 2018. By March 2017, under an umbrella scheme called Panasonic Kids School, the corporation had reached approximately 2.8 million children through various educational programmes around the world.
These programmes include the Eco Picture Diary Contest, which aims to raise children's interest in environmental issues, and the Global Eco-Learning Program, which conducts activities such as battery-creation and tree-planting workshops for students.
In Asia, lessons on dry cells and neck lights have been held, with new workshops on solar lamps to be expanded to Latin America. International in scope, the corporation's eco-learning programme is tailored to the initiatives of each region while using common teaching tools that integrate Panasonic's technologies.
We believe that by practicing environmental education for children who will become purchasers in the future, it will improve the image of the Panasonic brand.
Ryuji Shimono, unit leader, environmental management department, Panasonic
On the company's motivation for engaging with the young, Ryuji Shimono, unit leader in the environmental management department, quality and environment division at Panasonic, says: "We believe that by practicing environmental education for children who will become purchasers in the future, it will improve the image of the Panasonic brand, and expand our fan base for environmentally-friendly products."
Autodesk: Designing a better world
Realising their potential to influence the world's makers and the need to support young people at the forefront of new technologies, multinational software corporation Autodesk has made it a priority to encourage sustainable design through education.
With its Autodesk Sustainability Workshop, the company has made sustainability education more accessible to students and educators, providing online resources for those who want to teach and learn about how to design within the limits of the planet.
"Climate change is one of the greatest design challenges of our time, and addressing it is essential to the long-term success of both business and society," says Jake Layes, director of global market development sustainability at Autodesk. "We see our role as being to inspire and support more people – especially the next generation – to use the power of design to mitigate and adapt to climate change."
Autodesk offers free videos, tutorials and case studies that help aspiring designers and engineers move towards building sustainable products. One example is their Building Design section, which advises on improving energy efficiency through natural resources and managing water resources in green buildings.
Autodesk says the programme has educated millions on sustainable design, but from May 2018 the sustainability workshop will be integrated with the Autodesk Knowledge Network and Autodesk Design Academy while the company works out how to take the programme forward.
Citigroup: Can youth achieve the SDGs?
Citi Foundation, the philanthropic arm of multinational investment bank Citigroup, partnered with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2017 to create Youth Co:Lab, a regional youth entrepreneurship initiative paving the way for youth-led solutions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Some 1,700 young people participated in its first year, when 140 social enterprises across 11 countries in Asia Pacific were launched and developed.
"Through the Youth Co:Lab programme we are tapping into the entrepreneurial spirit of young people to help them drive the solutions that can help tackle some of the region's biggest economic and social challenges," says Brandee McHale, president of the Citi Foundation. She emphasised the company's belief in the benefits youth bring to society when they thrive in the workforce.
In March 2018, the inaugural Youth Co:Lab Summit recognised five youth-led social enterprises addressing the SDGs in the Regional Social Innovation Challenge. One of the initiatives included Philippines-based Phinix, a textile recycling centre that transforms textile waste into higher value products such as footwear and lifestyle items.
Pratt & Whitney: Not just another MNC
Driven by a common goal to teach children about water conversation, Pratt & Whitney partnered non-profit Waterways Watch Society shortly after a meeting at a World Water Day event in 2013.
Through interactive learning trails at Lorong Halus Wetland as well as assembly talks in schools, the partnership has benefitted students from 26 primary and secondary schools in Singapore. Partnerships such as this allow aircraft engine and auxiliary power unit manufacturer Pratt & Whitney to instil a sustainability mindset in the next generation, and encourage them to promote environmental awareness among their peers.
"[Youths] are the next generation to lead and influence how the environment is managed in the future," says Jeevita Ravidran, an environment, health and safety engineer at Pratt & Whitney. Her passion for environmental sustainability as a young employee led her to take the lead of the company's sustainability committee in Singapore.
Ravidran added that the company does not want to be just another multinational, but one that shares a greater sense of responsibility and cares about the environment in which local communities live and work.
Through employees with a passion for the environment such as Jeevita, Pratt & Whitney has built a network of sustainability 'focals' or ambassadors, and the company aims to enable their ideas and ambitions to have a positive impact on the company, communities and the environment.
An early initiative to support employees who proactively embark on green projects, the Pratt & Whitney Green Power Grant programme, was launched on Earth Day in 2008. Through grants that fund sustainability initiatives with local non-profit organisations, employees have led more than 75 projects across the globe – and have been supported by nearly US$400,000 in grants from the company. Eligible projects enhance, protect or preserve the environment, or teach others the value in doing so.

APRIL: Farming forests without fire
One of Indonesia's biggest pulp and paper firms, APRIL, works closely with young people in sharing sustainable forestry practices and educating them on preventing fires, a seasonal environmental problem in Sumatra where the company operates.
A supporter of the Global Compact Network Singapore (GCNS), APRIL has hosted participants of the annual Youth Forum for the past two years, allowing youth teams to visit its plantation in Kerinci, Indonesia, and giving them an inside look into their operations.
"Intergenerational equity is an important aspect of sustainability and is about making sure that future generations have the same opportunity as we do today," explains Lucita Jasmin, director of sustainability and external affairs, APRIL Group.
"A balanced understanding of the environmental, social and economic dimensions of development will help the next generations build on the current momentum and scale up the innovations and solutions that have been initiated. This is why it's important to inform and engage young people about sustainability, while also listening to them and acknowledging their importance as a stakeholder group," she says.
The company's commitment to education, especially in the community where it is based, is reflected in its partnerships with local schools and universities.
APRIL runs the Fascinating World of Forestry educational programme, which encourages students to learn more about the region's forests and discover how paper can be made sustainably. Another initiative is the Schools Awareness Program, which is part of APRIL's Fire Free Village initiative in Riau, which lays the foundation for fire awareness in the community and trains future leaders in sustainable development.

The petrol-intensive minibus taxi industry is on the verge of a revolution following a company's conversion of a number of taxis from petrol to the greener and cheaper liquid petroleum gas (LPG).
Versus SA Autogas, a subsidiary of the Poland-based Versus Autogas Equipment, has already converted more than 100 minibus taxis from the Johannesburg Southern Suburbs Taxi Association (JSSTA) – based in Eldorado Park – and the Randburg United Local and Long Distance Taxi Association (RULLDTA). The company installs the required equipment, including an 80-litre LPG tank, in the taxis and turns them into hybrid vehicles where they run on both the LPG and on petrol.
One of the people who had his taxi converted is owner/driver Flyman Stanley. Stanley, 37, told The Star he has been a taxi driver for the past 15 years, and bought his first minibus taxi in April last year. Detailing the savings he has accrued since converting his vehicle in November, Stanley said he used to spend roughly R850 a day for a full tank of petrol, which is 50 litres, but now spends about R740 to fill up his 80-litre gas tank, which lasts him longer than the petrol. The price of the LPG is R9.50 a litre.
"I can go about two days driving on a full tank of LPG, whereas in the past I had to fill up with petrol every day. This helps me a lot because I provide transport for schoolchildren residing in my home township of Diepsloot, who go to school in Laudium and Valhalla in Pretoria, and I have to do my daily routes from Honeydew to Diepsloot," Stanley explained. He added that these were astonishing savings as his scholar transport route is a round-trip of roughly 50km, while the distance from Honeydew to Diepsloot is about 37km – a trip that he does four times a day on average.
"I've passed on these savings to the parents of the schoolchildren I ferry. I was supposed to be charging them about R500, but now I only charge R350 a month. I can't reduce the price of my taxi route as this is set universally by RULLDTA, and I would be in big trouble if I were to cut the price," Stanley said with a laugh.
However, he said he would be able to pay off the instalments of his taxi with ease, so he could concentrate on his dream of owning at least 10 taxis because he believes he is a born entrepreneur. He added that he wanted to debunk the notion that people from poor backgrounds like himself could not be successful business people.
The owner of Versus SA, Krzysztof Sil, who is Polish-born and has been living in South Africa for 30 years, said he and his business partner, Anil Sumaraj, had been trying to introduce LPG to private car users for several years, to no avail, which was why they approached the taxi industry.
"We thought it was easier to go for the taxi industry because they use a lot of petrol. "So the gas would be good for them savings-wise, and good for the environment," Sil explained. Sumaraj said they have two LPG filling stations – one in Eldorado Park for the JSSTA and the other in Diepsloot for the RULLDTA drivers.
He added that they have kept their LPG price at R9.50 a litre for the last three months as they buy the gas locally from Sasol, which allows them to keep their prices low. The current price of petrol in inland provinces is R13.54, up from R13.09 in January. Sumaraj said their plan was to eventually open up more filling stations, with the taxi associations owning a portion of the stations and managing them entirely.
"The way we are looking at it is that we want to empower the taxi industry," he said. "The associations will form a co-operative on their own where the taxi owners will run the co-operatives and become part owners of the filling stations." "We would like to keep 51% of the filling stations to ourselves," he added. "The reasoning behind that is that we would like to control the maintenance of the stations, as well as our Versus trademark.
"But the associations will have full management of the stations and we will not interfere in how they choose to manage the stations." Sil said they were glad that the associations would continue employing locals at their filling stations, which is something his company started when they opened the two stations in Eldorado Park and Diepsloot. Indeed, the taxi industry is on the verge of a revolution.

Home Money, Politics and Power The Shook One
The Shook One
The once unflappable Mitt Romney has lost his cool.
by Jamelle Bouie
By and large, this year, the Republican presidential debates have been great for Mitt Romney. For the most part, they've played to his strengths-his command of policy, his "presidential" appearance, and his skill as a debater-and haven't brought much attention to his weaknesses. What's more, thanks to their outsized influence on the nomination contest, they've been the place where Romney's rivals have collapsed on themselves, from former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty's "Obamaneycare" miss, to nearly everything said by Texas Governor Rick Perry.
As of late, however, that dynamic has begun to change. On the strength of his debate performances and his the "anti-Romney" du jour, Newt Gingrich has emerged as the new front-runner in the Republican presidential contest. Romney remains in his second-place spot, but this is almost in spite of the fact that he's been buffeted by a wave of criticism over the last two weeks. Republicans are unhappy with his opportunistic embrace of conservative orthodoxy-and have begun to hammer him for it-Democrats are angry about his casual disregard for truth in political advertising, and the news media is irked by his refusal to answer questions or provide access.
Now, it's Romney who has something to prove in the debates, while Gingrich can sit back and watch as his rivals fight among themselves. In fact, this is exactly what happened at Saturday's debate in Iowa, where Gingrich disarmed each of his competitors, Romney struggled to present himself as the only real choice. Moreover, in trying to reposition himself as unflappable, Romney did the exact opposite, showing the extent to which he has been rattled by recent events. Hence, Romney's worst debate moment, and the one that Democrats will broadcast across the country if he is the nominee. Watch:
Romney's campaign denies that this was anything but part of the plan-"Mitt Romney knew that Rick Perry wouldn't take the bet because it's a phony attack," said Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom in an e-mail to Reuters, "By backing down, Perry looked weak."
Of course, this is spin. I guarantee this wouldn't have happened if Romney were comfortable in the pole position of the race. As it stands, neither of those things are true, and the pressure of a competitive race has begun to chip at his composure and reveal the degree to which he is self-conscious about his abrupt reversals of political belief.
None of this is to say that Romney can't win the nomination, from money, to organization, to institutional support, he is still on the path to victory, but that his erstwhile persona-Unflappable Mitt-has been damaged by events. The question is whether he rebuilds or moves to something else.

Searching For Cheap Reading Glasses Near Evanston IL?
There are several types of reader glasses you can purchase in Evanston including cheap reading glasses. If you are new to needing eyewear for reading or working close-up, then you will probably need a pair of men's or women's reading glasses. Once you have experienced readers, you may be looking for something a bit more custom to your application in Illinois.
As we get older, our eyes have more difficulty focusing properly on various distances, a problem known as presbyopia. Bifocals help people who have difficulty with both far- and near-sightedness with lenses that have two different optical powers – one for long range, one for close up work.
One disadvantage of bifocals is that there isn't a correction for intermediate distance vision, including working from a computer. This can cause headaches or eye stress.
Shielding your eyes while outside is important and is especially important if you are reading a book or magazine in the bright sunlight. There are reader sunglasses that you can get that will shield your eyes from the glare off of pages. They are likewise available in many fashionable looks to make sure that you are able to indulge in the latest best-seller at the beach without compromising your sense of style.
Bifocal reader sunglasses are also easily available in many designs and color options. These have the dual benefit of enabling you to read in the sun and delight in the views without changing to normal sunglasses.
Magnetic readers, also known as Clics, split up at the bridge and magnetically rejoin at the bridge. These have an integrated glasses keeper that allows them to hang around your neck for handiness. Clics are the answer to always having your reading glasses close by even though you don't have a pocket to put them in.
When you don't have much space, folding readers fit the bill. These small folding reader glasses fit in a small handbag or pocket and are handy options that typically have a mini carrying case that fits practically any place.
Also referred to as trifocals, progressive reading glasses have multiple eyeglass strengths all in just one pair. These have no visible lines and allow the wearer to see properly no matter if they are doing close up work, intermediate range work or have to see clearly at a distance.
Readers may be bought at most any cost point from $1 to many hundreds of dollars for designer reading glasses. In case you are just starting to require reading glasses, your eye physician may well advise you to buy a cheap pair of readers until your eyesight deteriorates to the point where you need custom made reading glasses.
The shortcomings of cheap readers are that the frames are typically not stylish, both lenses have the identical correction and the optical center of the lenses isn't precisely customized to your eyes. If you experience headaches, nausea or notice significant eye strain, it is best to check with your eye health specialist to see if you might have to transition to a custom prescription pair of readers.
Reading glasses especially engineered for computer displays are referred to as computer glasses. Computer screens release blue light which may be damaging to your eyes just as UV rays can. If you do work in front of computer screens throughout the day, or you are worried about the side effects of blue light on your children's eyes, you should get these types of "blue blockers". Either prescription or non-prescription computer readers include standard anti-reflective lenses to minimize eye strain and give 100% UV shielding.
An additional option is to get glasses with photochromic glass that also shield from blue light and UV light. This kind of lense darkens automatically and can be utilized like reader sunglasses. These types of glasses are generally custom-made.
The best men's reading glasses and the best women's reading glasses in Evanston, IL are the type that provide you the crystal clear vision you seek with none of the downsides. Headaches, eye fatigue and blurriness are indicators that you don't have the right glasses to do the job right. Take your time selecting your Cheap Reading Glasses and you will find the best answer to better reading vision.


In this previous post, I set up a Windows 10 virtual machine (VM) on my Dell notebook running Windows 8.1 with Client Hyper-V. But why stop with just two Client Operating System (OS) running together? Therefore, I will show you how to automate an environment in which you can run multiple OSs (Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Technical Preview, Windows 7 with SP1 and finally Windows XP with SP3) using your notebooks Wi-Fi adapter to connect them to the Internet. If you're an IT Pro or a software developer and need to do some testing, this is an easy way to do it.
I've you're reading this I assume that you have already installed Client Hyper-V and added the necessary virtual networks, if not just follow steps 1 to 9 in my previous post.
Windows XP isn't compatible with Hyper-V's synthetic network adapter. As such, we will also need to do add a legacy network adapter for the sharing network.
Windows XP is not supported by Hyper-V's Dynamic Memory feature, so we'll need to use static memory instead.
Only W10 TP has the necessary Integration Services on board, that's why after the OS installation, we will need to install them to the W7 and XP VM.
Before installation of the Integration Services in the Windows XP VM, you need to release the mouse and keyboard focus from the VM Connection window by pressing CTRL + ALT + LEFT ARROW.
The computer name of the W7 and XP VM is added when you install the OS. In my example I used W7-TST and XP-TST.
As a final remark, if you've installed the Windows 7 VM without SP1 you will receive the below error when trying to install the Integration Services.
1) For the automated built of the 3 VMs run the below PowerShell script. All virtual hardware will be added and configured and the OS ISO's will be mounted. At the end the VMs will be started up to begin the OS installations. Please be aware that in order to us your shared Wi-Fi connection, the "InternalWifi" virtual switch needs to be attached to a legacy network adapter.
2) When you're done installing the guest OSs, logon to your 3 new VMs.
3) Insert the Integration Services Setup disk to the W7 and XP VM.
4) On both VMs, if the installation doesn't start automatically, open a command prompt and run d:\support\x86\setup.exe and select "Yes" to start the installation. When the Upgrade Hyper-V Integration Services box appears click "OK". To complete the installation press "Yes" to reboot.
5) To check the version of the Integration Services through Device Manager, expand System Devices, right click Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Machine Bus, and select Properties. Click the Driver tab and the Driver Version line will show you the version you're running.
6) To prepare your host to connect to the shared folders and do the rest of the configuration for the W10 VM you can now follow steps 12 to 18 from my previous post.
netsh interface set interface name = "Local Area Connection" newname = "WiFi"
netsh interface set interface name = "Local Area Connection 2" newname = "Sharing"
netsh interface set interface name = "Local Area Connection" newname = "Sharing"
netsh interface set interface name = "Local Area Connection 2" newname = "Wifi"
9) On the W7 VM assign the fixed IP Address 33.0.0.3 for the "Sharing" network adapter from the command prompt (requires elevation).
10) On the XP VM assign the fixed IP Address 33.0.0.4 for the "Sharing" network adapter from the command prompt.
14) As you can see in the below screenshot I'm able to surf with all OSs and share data between them.
This concludes this blog post. Keep tuned and I'll be back soon.

I got on a Goodreads group forum today. I went to a discussion about blogs and bloggers that review books. I thought, "Oh, I could add my blog to that list." So I click into it. Know what I found?
A whole lot of authors talking about their book they want reviewed.
I think we all need to take a step away from "writer" town and remember that first, above all else, a writer must be a reader. A writer needs to have a passion for stories, for books, for characters – and a love of the craft that goes into creating those things.
You know what happens to those? They get introduced to my DELETE key.
And this funk has me thinking that the few professional/decent indie authors out there are getting overshadowed by the mountain (and growing) of bad indie books. It's making my publications less of an accomplishment and more of a mar on my record. It's depressing. This is also a depressing time of my life. It has been since I hit 26. All down hill from there. I miss 15. No pressure. A future of opportunities. I could sit at home all weekend and do nothing. Sigh… you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.
Hi, I got into your blog looking for reviewers, and I was curious about 'reader depression' so clicked on this post. First of all, I want you to know that it is not all downhill from here when you are 26. I'm now almost 70, with 2 books traditionally published and 7 Ebooks self-published, and I've got more books in me. Yes, life can be frustrating as a writer and a reader, but it can be fun and rewarding too, so focus on those things.
And now I'm going to send you a review request.
