St Catherine's Stuttgart - a welcoming place for refugees
In Stuttgart St Catherine's Parish Centre was originally conceived to be the administrative office for the congregation as well as a space for church meetings and gatherings such as choir practice. But the centre has taken on an enhanced role as the parish has responded to the influx of refugees in this city in Baden-Württemberg. It has become a place for refugees to come and find clothing, toys, and essential household goods that they require as they establish their new life in Germany. Of course they also receive care and advice from the volunteers from the parish who give their time to the centre.
One of the remarkable aspects to this work is that the parish has engaged two persons who are refugees themselves to work in the centre alongside our church volunteers. They are Salim, a young woman from Eritrea, and Shukri, a young man from Syria. Thus St Catherine's is encouraging refugees to help other refugees.
I had a brief interview with Salim and Shukri to give them a chance to tell their story and their hopes for the new life in Germany. The video can be found below, with the parish priest the Revd Canon Ken Dimmick translating from the German (and the choir rehearsing in the background!)
Seeing St Catherine's at work with refugees was just one aspect to a recent parish visit which also included baptisms and confirmations at the main Sunday morning mass, a joyous and wonderful celebration. Fr Ken and I were assisted by the auxiliary priests associated with the parish, the Revd Wolfgang Siebenpfeiffer, the Revd Julie Lipp-Nathaniel and the Revd Brigitte Gutbrod.

Christians, Muslims, diplomats and scholars consult on cooperation in the refugee crisis
As we know Europe is experiencing the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Religious organisations including the churches play many key roles in the midst of this crisis such as advocacy for responsible government policies on behalf of refugees and in helping to improve migrants' integration in receiving countries. In Europe several collaborative projects among religious bodies, governments and NGOs have been already put in place.
One of the most creative was established in Italy through the cooperation between the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Roman Catholic Comunità di Sant'Egidio, the Federation of Evangelical Churches and Tavola Valdese of the Waldensian Evangelical Church. The programme takes advantage of the provision of humanitarian visas to bring over a two-year period approximately 1000 refugees from Lebanon (Syrian refugees), Morocco (migrants from Sub-Saharan African countries fleeing from situations of risk caused by conflicts, terrorism, political instability, poverty, famine, drought) and Ethiopia. The shorthand term for the programme is "humanitarian corridors". It is a safe and legal alternative to provide safe entry for the most vulnerable refugees including single women with children, victims of human trafficking, elderly people and disabled or sick people, and facilitates their integration in Italy.
I was invited on 13th and 14th of March to participate in a policy dialogue promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation to assess the benefits and challenges of innovative programmes such as the humanitarian corridors and to see how such programs might be extended and duplicated in other countries. The round-table was attended by over 30 religious representatives, diplomats, policymakers and scholars.
Several of the participants also were invited to record short video clips about the role of religious groups in addressing the refugee crisis. I append two of them below, one given by me, and the other by a distinguished interfaith colleague, Imam Yahya Sergio Yahe Pallavicini, Chairman of the Council for Muslims in non Islamic Countries and President of COREIS (Italian Islamic Religious Community).

Anglican-RC History made again!
Readers of this blog may find that this is getting rather repetitive, but Anglican-Roman Catholic history was made yet once again on Monday afternoon! For the first time ever the service of Anglican Evensong, according to the Book of Common Prayer, was celebrated in St Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Archbishop David Moxon, the Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome, led the service using Cranmer's ancient words. Archbishop Arthur Roche, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, one of the most senior Englishmen in the Vatican, preached the sermon. The choir of Merton College Oxford sang the service.
The service was held in honour of St Gregory the Great on the nearest day to his old feast day, 12th March, which is still the date for the observance in the BCP. Pope St Gregory the Great sent St Augustine to England to evangelise the Anglo-Saxons. He has become an unofficial patron of the most recent ecumenical exchanges between the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. His crozier-head was sent to Canterbury as a gesture of support during the Primates' Meeting in January 2016 and Pope Francis gave Archbishop Justin Welby a wooden crozier modelled on it during their meeting in October.
At the conclusion of the service itself we processed to the tomb of St Gregory in the Basilica, where Cardinal George Pell and I led prayers to honour the saint.
The clergy and many members of our parish of All Saints were present, and the servers, who are surely among the finest in Christendom, were provided by us!

Ecumenical history will be made in Florence
Ecumenical history is going to be made tomorrow in Florence when the Anglican service of choral Evensong will be sung in the great baptistery of San Giovanni, next to the Cathedral. The ecumenical significance of this event is noteworthy: this is the first time that an Anglican service will be held in the ancient Florentine baptistery and is by kind permission of the Archbishop of Florence, His Eminence Cardinal Giuseppe Betori, and the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. It will be led by the Chaplain of St Marks English Church, the Revd Fr William Lister. The Choir of St Mark's will sing the service.
Fr Lister, besides being the priest of our Church of England parish in Florence is also responsible for St Peter's Sienna, and Holy Cross, Bologna, and is Area Dean of Italy. St Mark's is a busy international Church and is also an active venue for opera, concerts, and a wide range of artistic, literary and academic events for visitors and locals alike. The parish's role in strengthening relationships on the ground with the Roman Catholic Church adds in a significant way to our Anglican Communion's official dialogue.

RC Bishop of Gozo donates Sunday collections to Anglican Pro-Cathedral in Valletta
Bp Grech and the Anglican Pro-Cathedral
The extraordinary ecumenical warmth which we have witnessed this past week with the visit of Pope Francis to our parish of All Saints Rome, continues to encourage us as we experience genuine fraternal cooperation and support from our Roman Catholic colleagues. For instance, earlier this week the Roman Catholic Bishop of Gozo, HE Mgr Mario Grech, publicly called for more unity between Catholics and Anglicans, and in this spirit announced that the collections during this Sunday's masses in Gozo will be donated towards repairs to the Anglican Pro-Cathedral of St Paul in Valletta, Malta.
Bishop Grech said in a statement that whereas splits do exist between Christian Churches, "A true Christian must perforce be upset when cracks appear in our unity," The Gozo Bishop said Anglicans in Malta and Gozo have launched a campaign to raise funds for repairs to their main church, the Pro-Cathedral of St Paul. The repairs are expected to cost some three million euros. Bishop Grech said Lent was a good time for works of charity, and for this reason the Sunday collections would be used to give a helping hand to "our Anglican brethren."
The Chancellor of the Pro-Cathedral, the Revd Canon Simon Godfrey, who is a tireless worker for ecumenical relations in Malta and Gozo, has described this offer as "simply wonderful!" and a real expression of the "practical ecumenism" which the Pope has encouraged. Fr Simon noted that Bishop Mario refers in his announcement to the "special bond between the Anglican and Gozo Churches".
In my letter of thanks to Bp Grech I underlined how this generous gift is "a sure sign of our commitment to walk forward together in unity and love"

BBC expresses scepticism about study!
There are two ways to report news that divides opinion. The first is to report what has happened and then include comments from those who have a view on it, including critics. The second is to lead off with disparaging comments from the critics so that the news itself becomes incidental. This latter approach amounts to poisoning the well and is mainly favoured by propagandists and media outlets which have a blatant editorial bias. So, with that in mind...
'Weight is healthy' study criticised
A study which suggests being overweight can lead to a longer life has caused controversy among obesity experts.
One labelled the findings a "pile of rubbish" while another said it was a "horrific message" to put out.
The study in the cross-hairs is a meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association which assessed 97 individual studies encompassing a total sample group of 2.88 million people. Not the kind of paper the Beeb would normally be sniffy about, but the meta-analysis found that the overweight and mildly obese people had a lower mortality rate than those of 'normal' weight.
The results for overweight people (BMI of 25-30) were statistically significant (RR = 0.94 (0.91-0.96)) while the results for mildly obese people (BMI of 30-35) were not (RR = 0.95 (0.88-1.01)). I am hesitant to take either of these results as conclusive proof that carrying a bit of timber extends your life, but it seems to me sufficient evidence that it does not shorten it.
Although the findings have been described as "counterintuitive", they really aren't. BMI is an extremely simplistic, nineteenth century measurement and the claim that those with a BMI of 25+ are "overweight" is entirely arbitrary. Moreover, as The Science Bit points out, this is hardly the first time such findings have been recorded.
But they drive 'public health' campaigners wild...
Prof John Wass, vice-president of the [Royal College of Physicians], said: "Have you ever seen a 100-year-old human being who is overweight? The answer is you probably haven't."
So much for systematic reviews and sober science! Are these really the words of a medical man or did the BBC ask a bloke in a pub for his 'folk wisdom'? I thought public health people had rejected any discussion of centenarians after it was shown that they don't generally lead healthy lives?
Wass continues:
"Huge pieces of evidence go against this, countless other studies point in the other direction."
Some do, some don't. That's the nature of epidemiology, hence the need for systematic reviews to assess the weight of evidence, and the weight of evidence points towards a null or protective effect from overweight and mild obesity. I repeat—this is not a single study; it is a review of 97 different studies conducted all around the world over several decades. There are not "countless" studies, let alone countless studies which "point in the other direction". There are dozens of studies which have been counted and, taken together, they indicate that mildly overweight people live longer than the lean.
Other experts criticised the research methods.
Alas, the BBC does not feel the need to bore us with the details of these substantive criticisms and so instead we get a variation of the 'sick quitter hypothesis'.
"Some portion of those thin people are actually sick, and sick people tend to die sooner," according to Donald Berry, from the University of Texas
This is true. As with all epidemiology, causation cannot be proven. Some of the thin people will indeed be sick. But, if being overweight is as unhealthy as the nanny statists claim, some—nay, many—of the fat people will also be sick and therefore be likely to die sooner. The fact that, as a group, they actually die later is a hole in the theory that cannot be blithely dismissed with reference to a single, unquantified and unproven confounding factor. Moreover, the authors address this question and note that "most studies" find that pre-existing disease is not an "important source of bias" and that those which control for this factor found that it had "little or no effect".
Lame as they are, the criticisms above are positively high-minded compared to those which follow.
Dr Walter Willett, from the Harvard School of Public Health said: "This is an even greater pile of rubbish" than a study conducted by the same group in 2005.
Willett made his point even more strongly when speaking on NPR yesterday...
"This study is really a pile of rubbish and no one should waste their time reading it."
How heartening it is to see the spirit of intellectual enquiry thriving at the Harvard School of Public Health. Perhaps Dr Willett and his friends will make a bonfire out of copies of the Journal of the American Medical Association and dance around it.
Tam Fry, from the National Obesity Forum in the UK, said: "It's a horrific message to put out at this particular time.
For God's sake man, it's a meta-analysis in a scientific journal released at the start of the year, not the director's cut of The Innocence of Muslims released at the start of Ramadan.
"We shouldn't take it for granted that we can cancel the gym, that we can eat ourselves to death with black forest gateaux."
This hysterical misrepresentation of the study's conclusion is the final line of the BBC's report. In total, the Beeb quoted four people who hated the study's findings but were apparently unable to explain what was wrong with them. The Beeb did not bother to include any quotes from supporters of the study, nor—and this is highly unusual—from its authors.
Perhaps the BBC's health editor has made a new year's resolution to treat epidemiological studies with cynicism and contempt. That would be most refreshing given their past output, but I suspect the scepticism will be extremely short-lived.
Ivan D said...
The BBC bosses do seem determined to destroy what little remaining credibility the corporation has for quality news. Why else would they give the health editor's job to someone so incompetent, uncritical and agenda driven?
Snowdon said...
I notice the reporters have stopped putting their name to BBC health stories. Shame? Guilt? Thinking about their future careers?
nisakiman said...
It does seem to be the meme for our current era - if the orthodoxy doesn't fit the facts, then make the facts fit the orthodoxy. We see this approach in all the major issues now, most notably "health" and climate change.
There must surely come a point when the serious scientists say "enough is enough" and break ranks. We can't continue deluding ourselves indefinitely. It's just too expensive, both financially and socially.
Sobers said...
I'm not sure as to what this study is saying - have 2.8m people been studied for their entire lives, their weight been assessed on an ongoing basis, and then their mortality rates compared with their average weights?
Or is it just 'this person has died and is fat now' vs 'this person has died and is thin now'?
Because if its the latter, by definition, lots of people get thin before they die - cancer victims for example. So comparing age at death with weight at death doesn't help much IMO.
Séan Billings said...
Wow, this is the exact same argument that happens when you point out that, statistically, moderate drinkers live longer than teetotallers. The health police love meta reports as long as they say what they want them to say, but have a problem with the method when an inconvenient truth bubbles to the surface.
Jonathan Bagley said...
"Have you ever seen a 100-year-old human being who is overweight? The answer is you probably haven't."
Probably because everyone becomes thin when they are old.
Fredrik Eich said...
"Obese face 'exercise or lose benefits' threat, council says"
XX "Have you ever seen a 100-year-old human being who is overweight? The answer is you probably haven't." XX
No...not that I know of, but then in all my years visiting, hospitals, and now working in one (having "retired" from my previous job), I have VERY rarely seen any one "overweight" in the heart-attack wards either.
And WHEN was the last time one of these REALLY fat bastards was in the news for anything more serious than stealing our tax money to eat, or that the fire brigade had to order a low loader to get them to their toe nail polishing studio?
Ever heard of one dying of a heart attack?
It seems the recruitment of researchers for anti-tobacco and anti-obesity studies is getting harder and harder as the Nannys try and gather all the new Grads they can to put their names upon more junk science to keep the spin machine running.......I gather the older more experienced lot have figured it out and dont want to be shamed later on as indeed these reporters you talk about dont either.

I am sad. And tired. So tired. I had come into this filled with a sense of duty and the desire to commit shameful acts for the benefit of many.
They are shameful because I am a betrayer. I know that. I secreted myself among them, picking them up from the roadside with the intent of destroying their lives.
I like to think I have found friends, but none of them know me. They know a different me.
I lost my mind for a while. I saw things that couldn't possibly exist. I saw words and people and stars and while those are the elements that make up a well-lived life, I know that what I saw wasn't real. My words, my people, my stars are those of a trickster. I have no true understanding of those things because my intent was to break them, to vilify that which defined them.

Here's The Scoop … He's Doing A Saddam …
THE HARDER THEY FALL …
Dear Readers … Well the VFD didn't pull down his statue in the square and we haven't verified the McIntee memorabilia has been taken down off the VFD walls …but Vice Mayor McIntee has decided to do a "Saddam" on those who were not loyal to him and did not vote him in as Fire Chief of the VFD… In the aftermath of that loss he was out of town…laying low …but he has returned and he is on a rampage of destruction to take the VFD down!… Why else would he go to the Town Manager and make requests for Chief Perkins salary for his first year as Chief…and the current VFD roster (prev. post) …Today McIntee and the Commissioners received more requests made by McIntee through Town Manager Colon …who suddenly is more than happy to "oversee" a "contractor" of the Town… Today's memo "As requested, attached please find the VFD table for the Total Number of Drills, Medicals & Fires Credited and Compensated for Chief Bob Perkins."…This is just too "rich"!.. McIntee has become the laughingstock in town!… Going after the VFD….is political suicide!… It's time for the VFD membership to vote him out! …How can the VFD keep him as a member when he is trying to torpedo them!… How nuts is it that the former Deputy Chief is asking for information on the Chief who was side by side with him in the time frame he is making the requests for?… What does it say besides "scorched earth"?… If McIntee is trying to say things were amiss or questionable…then just as he did with the Town Manager's 2007 contract…he was either complicit in pulling the wool over our eyes or he did not do his due diligence!…Either way he toast…with a short memory…
Jan 2009- Excerpts…When McIntee was newly elected as Deuty Chief and was "protecting"his "troops" from any questions or requests to the Manager from residents or Commissioner Dodd!….
Commissioner Comments-VM McIntee……BC-commentary …Fire Department…
From the meeting….1/28/09….
VM- "Regarding the fire department. Going after people from communicating on a cell phone when going to a call , the pickup truck does not have a vehicle based radio. It has portable radios. If the person they're referring to is going down the street with a siren he has something to his mouth. It's probably the portable fire radio going to command and saying utility 12 responding. There are a hundred reasons."
VM- "The other question about the uniform of the Chief, the equipment , the cost, those are all questions Commissioner Dodd could walk into the Chief's office and ask him if he wasn't satisfied with the answers then he could bring it up to the dais."
VM- "I think it's really blatantly an attack on the whole department to go after little things like that. I don't understand those things. I mean the three trucks over there are the town property. The utilities, the ATVs are town property. Every time one of these trucks goes in for repair and the last one was probably 1500 -2000 dollars. The town doesn't pay for those repairs . The volunteer fire department pays for those repairs. Their budget from the town money that was sent to them to keep that stuff up to snuff. An oil change is 500 dollars in a diesel. All the trucks need their oil changed every few months.When that SUV or ATV went into the shop it wasn't the town that was gonna pay for it. It was out the pocket of money distributed from the volunteers to run their equipment that was part of our budget. So things break down."
VM- "Why would you go after for a vehicle breaking down. There's no hot rodding on the beaches. We got printouts of anybody going over 20 miles a hour. That vehicle was near the water . It went down into the dirt and it went down before the multiple wheel drive stopped working and it wouldn't run through the gook. But to pick little items like that and attack the fire chief, I don't know where you're going with tat. Just don't understand it."
VM-"Let's clear up the Deputy Chief thing once and for all. When I decided to run for Deputy Chief, I was asked by the department by a vast majority to run. I said well we know what's going to happen, there's gonna be certain people on the dais who's gonna scream, certain people out there are gonna scream. So they called for a board of directors meeting. The board of directors sat down. I presented my position. They voted to allow me to run. They then called a special meeting of the whole department and they voted. I won't give you the vote but it was 2 against and the rest were in favor for me running because I am not a corporate officer. I'm a line officer, I tell guys where to squirt the water and they wanted my vast years of experience in the field with them, leading them because I'm the best leader there for that. It was done by the rules of the department and done properly."
VM-"Now I've got another, Commissioner Dodd asking the Town Manager about an ethics situation. How can I be Deputy Chief and where's the paperwork on it. How would she know?"
Response from the Manager-'They are contractors of the Town. Compliance with standard operating procedures of organization is a responsibility of the board, command staff and its members.'
Response from the Manager: ' They are contractors for the Town. Compliance with the by-laws of an organization is the responsibility of the board and its members.'
VM- " I sent a letter to Tallahassee laying out what my position was on plain paper, not the Town's paper and gt a letter back saying YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO. Now Judy Vik the reporter for the Pompano Pelican back there. She did her homework. She called Tallahassee and got exactly the information I just gave. Commissioner Dodd could have done that too. It's public information. So there's nothing being hidden here. I mean pickayu stuff."
'Dear Mr. Claypool,
I would like the Ethics opinion of this writer holding the position of Deputy Chief of the Lauderdale By The Sea Volunteer Fire Department.
I would like you to consider the following information before you render a Ethics decision.
A. The Lauderdale By The Sea Fire Department is the sole provider of Fire protection in the town of Lauderdale By The Sea.
B. This writer receives absolutely no compensation for service provided to the Volunteer fire department and if in the position of Deputy Chief I would still receive zero compensation from this department.
C. The LBTS VFD is a Florida corporation with corporate officers and company business officers. The Deputy Chief does not sit or act in any of these capacities under the corporate by-laws.
D. The Deputy Chief duties supervise and direct fire operations at active scenes and makes sure all training demands are met by the department members. The Deputy Chief has nothing to do with Corporate decisions or company policies, or spending funds of the department. It should be clear that the Deputy chief position is a line officer position only dealing with firefighting activities.
E. I am the most experienced fire fighter in the department and have over 45 years of experience.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully, Vice Mayor Jerome S McIntee'
The Response…12/19/08…
Re: Request for opinion,conflict of interest
'Dear Mr. McIntee:
I have been asked to respond to your request for an opinion on the issue of whether a conflict of interest would be created by your serving as Deputy Chief of the Lauderdale By The Sea Volunteer Fire Department while also serving as a member of the LBTS Town Commission
You advise that the VD is the sole provider of fire suppression services in the Town, that you would receive no compensation for your services, that the VFD is a corporate entity and the Deputy Chief is neither a director nor officer of the corporation, and that the position on Deputy Chief is a "line officer position," having nothing to do with budgetary or policy decisions of the corporation. The Code of Ethics for Public Officers or Contractual Relationship- No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, an agency of which he or she is an officer or employee, excluding those organizations and their officers who, when acting in their official capacity, enter into or negotiate a collective bargaining contract with the state or any municipality, county or other political subdivision of the state; nor shall an officer or employee of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his or her private interests and the performance of his or her public duties or would impede the full and faithful discharge of his or her public duties {Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes.}
The Commission has already dealt with the issue in CEO 08-22, an opinion you requested. There, it was observed that Section 112.313(7) to be implicated, there must first exist an employment or contractual relationship. The Commission said:
It must then be determined whether you have a "contractual or employment relationship" with the VFD, since in the absence of such a relationship, there can be no violation. Although you relate that you were paid $160 in "training funds" for the months of March and April, you state that as of May 1, you have specifically declined any compensation from the Department. In CEO 00-23 we stated our view that refusal to accept compensation, given in advance and in writing, coupled with actual refusal of said compensation, would negate the element of employment, and therefore the potential of a prohibited conflict.
In the materials you provided in requesting that opinion, you indicated you received no compensation from the VFD and "have no intention of receiving any compensation from the LBTSVFD in the future." Unless something changed in that respect, the previous opinion would still be applicable.
Virlindia Doss
VM-" It's off the wall. Look after the big problem, let the little problems work on a head to head basis.Work it over with the individual and if you aren't happy then take the next step."
VM-" At least give the Fire Department Chief the courtesy, can I ask you about this and if you aren't satisfied then take the next step or the AMR Chief or the Police Chief. I had a problem with the Police Chief about notifying residents about the burglary. Did I come and talk to you Chief? I didn't make up all these things telling him how he should do it. I had my suggestions I mean but I never take the step of trying to micromanage something I know very little about."
VM-" They have people going to fire scenes taking pictures of the Chief to see the way he's dressed. What for? To cause trouble. That's all, I yield"
Interesting times for the VFD… McIntee held it over their heads that without him…the VFD would be decimated and BSO Fire would be back …The reality is, since December 14th…the VFD are being treated like Heroes…Doors are opening…Pats on the back and congrats greet them everywhere they go and the lines of communication closed off due to McIntee are now wide open with tons and tons of support…Hmmmm…perhaps we'll soon find McIntee in a hole somewhere…hiding out?… If …"He's doing a Saddam"….

I love this book. The photos show all the ingredients 'mise En Place'= measured and in it place.
so you can see at a glance, do you have all the spices?
There are more photographs about how to cut protein, what it should look like after it is done cooking. And the end meal.
Made four recipes in a week - amazingly simple layout with clear instructions. This book is great for occasional/confident cooks as it has 6+ how-to pictures per recipe.
I just can't get enough of this book, the recipes I have cooked so far have been delicious (my partner would quite happily lay testament to this as he has been a very willing guinea pig). The photographs throughout are beautifully presented and the recipes themselves well laid out and easy to follow. This is not an exhaustive guide to cooking, but the various recipes are diverse and fun and they don't take too long to prepare and cook.

This is not an exhaustive guide to cooking, but the various recipes are diverse and fun and they don't take too long to prepare and cook. What also sold it to me was that the ingredients lists didn't include ridiculously hard to find food stuffs as you quite often find with contemporary cookbooks (one of Jamie Oliver's Cookbooks had a recipe that included cactus....good luck finding that in Southern England).
This is a beautiful book - the photography and illustrations are really amazing. However, I find it to be an awkward size for actual use in the kitchen - it's very big and bulky. Because so many steps are illustrated, there aren't as many recipes as you'd think in a book this size. The food is very good, but very trendy. Some of the combinations were just too much for kids, or even for me during the week (vegetable gnudi).

I also liked that in the grilling chapter she included 'if it rains' tips, so that you don't have to finish the food on the grill if you can't or don't want to.
My favorite cook book! So easy to follow. Really a great cook book for those times you have hardly any ingredients but you still have a standard of fresh and flavorful. I just flip through the book and quickly determine if I have the ingredients to make something . The pictures of the ingredients are what makes the cook book in my opinion.
I made a couple of these recipes--they are OK. I already know how to cook well, but I was really smitten with the orderly, step-by-step photography of the cooking process. In the end I didn't find the recipes to be anything new for me. This book would be excellent for someone who wants to cook but feels intimidated by it; this book will hold your hand as you learn.
Love love love this cookbook! Probably my favorite cookbook I've ever seen. Love the setup of pictures and the step by step layout. So helpful and informative, not to mention beautiful. I just might buy this one!
This book is well layed out with a photo of all of the ingreadients as well as a photo for each step in the recipe.
This book is amazing! Great clean recipes with vivid photos. I have to buy this book because I check it out too many times at the library!
I am not a cook (or a baker) and don't even enjoy doing either but sometimes, you gotta. So make it easy and good -this cookbook does that.

The Second World War. It's not all fighting and glory; there are battles on the Home Front, too, and some are not exactly heroic. That's what injured naval officer Harry discovers when he befriends conscientious objector Jim – a friendship frowned upon in their small Welsh valley even before they begin to fall in love.
Beyond the last houses of the village the road was steeper still. The bike's engine began to labour, especially on the sharper corners, and progress slowed to a cautious crawl along the centre of the road. Harry had been obliged to detour a long way south in order to pick up this road, the only one which led into the Culhwch Valley, and it was aggravating to have been so close to his destination for so long but with so far still to travel. It had been an exhausting day already and fraught with hazards, not least of which had been the need for constant vigilance; any stop he made had to be considered carefully, in view of the jerry-cans strapped to the carrier on the back of the bike.
A lone traveller with more petrol than he needed was always in danger of being robbed in the present straitened circumstances - even if, like Harry, he was strongly-built and obviously in uniform; there were plenty of people who would cheerfully have supplemented their ration at his expense and thought little of it afterwards. Thus he had kept going wherever he could, and the green hills and valleys, the market towns and small stone villages, had unrolled in sequence before him and closed behind him again just as swiftly as he passed. Now it was night and cold, he was in the Black Mountains, and the air had begun to smell like the air of home.
At the crossroads beneath the shoulder of Coalpit Hill something light waving backwards and forwards attracted his attention, quickly resolving itself into the bars on a police constable's sleeve in the beam of an old-fashioned bullseye lantern. Obediently Harry slowed the bike and drew to a halt in front of him.
"Switch it off, sir, if you would."
Harry complied, despite reservations about being able to start the thing again if he had to leave it for any length of time.
"Now, sir - let's have your papers, if you please." Harry reached into his greatcoat and drew out his documents and his ration book; the officer raised his lantern, perusing them expectantly. "Lyon, is it?" he asked. "Commander Lyon? You'll be the oldest son, I take it, will you?"
"The black sheep of the family? Yes, I'm afraid I am." Harry struggled to suppress a cough. Since first plunging into the damp banks of fog he had felt his lungs - or what was left of them, anyway - tightening steadily, and could almost imagine he felt scar tissue pulling at his ribs. Breathing was becoming difficult again, but he had learned techniques for dealing with that; it was important to relax his chest and inhale slowly. "You're acquainted with my brothers, then, Constable ... ?"
"PC 434 Williams, sir, from Maen-y-Groes. Indeed I am; I've had dealings with Mr Griffith-Lyon in the course of business, as it were, and I've met both of the others a time or two. Not staying the night at The Gables, then, I take it?"
"No. As a matter of fact, Thomas probably doesn't know I'm coming home yet; I'd prefer to press on as far as Hendra if I can - assuming you have no objection?"
"Hmmm." Slowly, Williams walked around the motorbike, his eyes running thoughtfully over the jerry-cans and the suitcase strapped on top of them. "Where is it you're coming from, sir, at this time in the morning?"
"Liverpool," supplied Harry. "I've been in hospital there until - well, yesterday, I suppose - Tuesday - and I came more or less straight here as soon as I was discharged. I'm on convalescent leave," he added, although his papers had made that clear enough.
"More or less, you say?"
"I had to pack and pick up the bike. I didn't manage to get away from the city until after four o'clock."
"Ah. Bad in Liverpool, is it, after all the bombing? We heard about that here."
"Very bad." It had hampered his departure considerably, in fact, although there was little point mentioning it; these days everybody was doing their best to carry on under increasingly appalling conditions and a shortage of clerks to complete his paperwork, blocked roads impeding his progress, and trams and buses conspicuous by their absence were minor annoyances set against the real tragedies being played out elsewhere. He'd walked what had felt like miles with his suitcase before collecting the bike and everything that went with it. On the way he'd seen bodies being dug out of collapsed houses and he'd been obliged to continue without stopping to help, because the fact was that there wasn't much he had to offer anybody any more; he couldn't even donate blood, considering the drugs he had in his system at the moment. In short, he was of no practical use whatsoever and doubted whether he ever would be again; that was the unpalatable truth.
Harry pulled out his cigarette case, silently offering one and lighting it for the policeman with his silver lighter.
"Duw." The little expletive escaped almost unnoticed, accompanied by a puff of smoke. The burning tip of the cigarette was quickly concealed in the officer's palm. "It has to be said, we've had it easy here - compared to those poor buggers in the cities, I mean to say."
Harry didn't take a cigarette for himself, but folded the case away again before it had a chance to remind him of anything he might prefer to forget.
"It hasn't been easy on anyone, has it? We've all had to do our bit, one way or another. Like yourself, Constable. Would it be indiscreet to ask why you find yourself out here stopping traffic at such an ungodly hour?"
Williams drew a breath. "No, sir, it would not. We've had a lot of trouble with gangs coming out from Cardiff and Bristol in motor lorries, helping themselves to sheep right off the hillside. Do very well out of the meat on the black market, of course. Becoming a real pest, they are."
"Oh, I see." It had been years since Harry had even tried to think like a farmer, to understand the concerns of rural life. He supposed it would come back to him eventually - assuming he was planning to stay in the area, at least. Just at the moment, though, with his reception at Hendra uncertain and his future a blank, he had not ruled any course of action either in or out. "Well, am I free to continue on my way?"
"You are, Commander. Next time I'm up to Ysguborwen I'll take the liberty of calling to see you, if I may."
"You may indeed," grinned Harry. He had folded his papers back into his pocket, and now fastened his coat again and kicked the starter. The engine spluttered at first but then stabilised, reluctantly reconciling itself to the remainder of its task. "I'll look forward to it."
"Not far now," said Williams cheerfully, standing back and shielding his lantern. "Soon be tucked up in a nice warm bed, I'm sure."
"I hope so! Well - I'll wish you good night, Williams."
However, as he rolled away, Harry was obliged to consider the nature of the welcome that would be awaiting him when he reached what was now, incredibly, his own front door. From the little he had learned, Hendra had suffered over the years; he half-expected to find it a scarcely habitable ruin, and whether there would be anybody to greet him remained open to question. He'd received no reply to his telegram; he wasn't even certain whether it had been delivered. Perhaps nobody lived at Hendra any more. Perhaps his brother Jack had taken himself off to live in one or other of the farmhouses or cottages on the estate which, Heaven knew, were probably warmer and drier and easier for a single man to deal with. That being the case, Harry could imagine having to break in and make himself a bed among the tapestries in the Great Hall - or indeed, in any part of the manor that still possessed a roof, whether it was carriage house or coal cellar.

Countryman's B6 Microphone Now Has a Connector for About Every Device
April 4th 2017 - 05:00 PM
Countryman Associates, a company famous for its tiny lavalier microphones, says it has now covered every conceivable connection option for its B6 omnidirectional lav microphone.
Countryman said its connectors now cover more than 400 models of gear from virtually every manufacturer. The connector types include 3.5 mm, Hirose, TA3F, TA4F/Tiny QG, TA5F, LEMO and XLR (for use with phantom powered equipment such as digital recorders and mixing consoles).
"Due to its unusually small form-factor, our B6 omnidirectional lavalier has proven to be incredibly versatile," said Chris Countryman, president of the company. "Because of its popularity, we regularly receive requests to make the B6 better able to interface with a wide range of equipment."
Countryman has also upgraded construction on the microphone for a tougher and more RF-resistant connector. The connectors are available individually.

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has made a winning start to his LA Galaxy career as he helped his new teammates to victory over Mexican side Club America in the International Champions Cup on 12 July.
The former England international rejected a chance to sign a new contract with the Merseyside club, which allowed him to leave Anfield as a free agent. Earlier in January, he had agreed a deal to join the Major League Soccer side in the summer.
Robbie Keane, a former teammate of Gerrard at Liverpool, scored a sublime equaliser for LA Galaxy after Darwin Quintero had given Club America the lead. Alan Gordon scored the winner in the 80th minute to make the final score 2-1.
"It was a great feeling. It was a difficult game and I thought [Club America] were very good. I thought after 15 or 20 minutes that the team settled really well, we played some good football and we got our deserved equaliser," Gerrard told LA Galaxy's website.
"For me personally, it was good to get 45 minutes under my belt and I'll keep getting better and better and the more I get used to my teammates, I'll improve.
"Physically it was tough. I haven't played a competitive match for six or seven weeks so it was very important that I got out there and got 45 minutes."
It was Gerrard's first outing since captaining Liverpool to a 6-1 defeat at Stoke City in the final day of the 2014/15 season on 24 May.
LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena praised Gerrard's impact but said the midfielder needed more time to build up his match fitness.
"For his first time out it was very encouraging, he looked like he belonged, his leadership was really good, I thought he was solid," Arena said. "He is probably about a month away from being fit enough to play a full match, it will take some games."
Gerrard could make his MLS debut when the Galaxy host San Jose Earthquakes on 17 July.


Dilaudid, a brand name for the drug Hydromorphone, is a highly potent narcotic pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain. As a derivative from morphine, Dilaudid falls under the class of opioid drugs and has major effects on the central nervous system of the human body.
While Dilaudid can be an effective medication for pain relief, it can also produce adverse consequences.
Because Dialudid is an opiate drug, it has a higher potential for abuse and misuse. Common to other opiate drugs, Dialudid is often used recreationally, as its euphoric side effects are desired for inducing a "high" and a sedated state.
Many individuals may start out taking Dialaudid through a legal prescription obtained by their doctor. This prescription may be for pain relief following a surgery or for the management of discomfort from chronic illnesses.
Dilaudid may also be used within a hospital setting for pain management for patients during acute care. Even if used appropriately, a person can begin to develop an addiction or dependency, both physically and psychologically, to the effects that are produced by Dilaudid.
The chemical structure of Dialudid is directly related to the effectiveness of this medication. Dilaudid is able to cross the blood-brain barrier in the body, thus having the capacity to infiltrate the central nervous system more rapidly.
Dilaudid is therefore able to be faster-acting that other pain relief drugs, providing a more concentrated form of relief per milligram basis that other comparable medications. Because of the rapid way in which Dilaudid acts on the brain and in the body, tolerance and dependency can result over a short-period of time.
Is Medication the Only Option?
With a drug that has the ability to offer effective relief for pain while being highly addictive, how can a person appropriately use this drug, and do natural alternatives exist?
As noted earlier, certain conditions and physiological states may result in moderate to severe pain for an individual.
As with all health related decisions, it is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine what the best form of treatment for you is. The effectiveness of alternative therapies for pain relief may vary from person to person, and it is helpful to research and investigate these options thoroughly before trying.
Some individuals may also find that alternative therapies for pain relief work well in combination with traditional medications, or lessen the need for higher dosages of pain drugs.
Benefits of alternative therapies for pain management include minimal or no adverse side effects, decreased risk of dependency, withdrawal, and addiction, increased potential for healing, and long term recovery.
Many individuals may need to utilize the pain relief offered from narcotic medications, such as Dilaudid, out of medical necessity. While there are several negative effects from use of this medication, a health professional may deem it essential as part of therapeutic care and pain management.
If you are currently using Dilaudid as a part of your treatment for pain, it is critical to use the medication appropriately and as prescribed by your doctor. If at any point, you are finding yourself dependent or addicted to the medication, discuss these concerns with your physician. Addiction to Dilaudid can be detrimental, and the consequences you could suffer as a result of addiction can be damaging to every aspect of your life.
If you are interested in learning more about alternative therapies for pain management, take the time to consider, investigate, and discuss your options with your trusted health care professional.
If you are taking Dilaudid and wanting to transition to a natural form of pain relief, be sure to check in with your doctor about the most appropriate way to do this. Because of the nature of this medication, you may need to slowly wean off the prescription to prevent or minimize withdrawal effects.

Tory Lanez Explains Why "KJM" Wasn't Officially Titled "Kendall Jenner Music"
The Toronto musician drew inspiration from the reality show supermodel.
(AllHipHop News) Tory Lanez's latest album, Love Me Now?, closes with a track named "KJM." During an interview with Ebro Darden for Beats 1 radio, Lanez explained the meaning of the acronym.
"[It means] Kendall Jenner Music. I couldn't put that in there. It was like a copyright issue, so I just called it 'KJM,'" stated the Canadian singer/rapper. "The video is really want inspired the name."
Lanez continued, "I put the song out as a video originally. In the video, everything was real private, a bunch of private jets, everything was real elegant but it was real stylish too. So I called it 'Kendall Jenner Music.'"
Love Me Now? landed at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart with 54,000 first-week units. The project also gave Tory his second #1 on the Top Rap Albums chart.

The Grand Chefs Gala raises money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and has become one of my favorite annual events in Chicago. Over the years, I have become attached to the event as well as its purpose and it has what I believe to be some of the best auction items. That is, if you like to travel, go to restaurants, stay in hotels and need a spa visit or two.
The Grand Chefs Gala Cocktail Reception is truly one of the best food events in Chicago. Where else can you enjoy the best bites from Chicago's best chefs all in one place?

Cold Mezze Bur Dubai Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Beet Moutabel, Salad Fattoush Pickled Vegetables, Stuffed Vine Leaf Jicama, Green Mango, Warm Pita Bread. This was the best pita bread I've ever had!

After the ceremony, the lights came on and it was time to get down to business for the live auction.
Nightcap which follows the dinner, is a separately ticketed event for those who want to come in just for dessert and drinks. There is live music and dancing, and Chicago's best pastry chefs and mixologists set up tables all around the perimeter of the room and serve up their finest desserts and beverages during the silent auction portion of the evening.

"To believe in mariachi means having a passion for life itself" - José Hernández
Image courtesy of Mariachi Sol de México® de José Hernández
Mariachi Sol de México® is a Grammy-nominated band and is led by José Hernández . A proud fifth-generation Mariachi musician, Maestro Hernández is an internationally recognized musician, composer, and educator. He has recorded with respected names in the industry, including Selena, Vincente Fernandez, Luis Miguel, Bryan Adams, and the Beach Boys. Bardo Arts Center is excited to host Mariachi Sol de México® de José Hernandez in what is sure to be an electrifying performance that will be fun for people of all ages.
José formed Mariachi Sol de México® in 1981, and has gone on to sell out halls from New York's Lincoln Center to Viña del Mar in Santiago, Chile. From the beginning José has been the mastermind behind creating cohesive collaborations with symphonies throughout the United States. From these collaborations, grew true recognition world wide in Latin American homes, "Everybody in Latin America serenades their girlfriend or their wife with mariachi music - because they see it in the movies. But it has evolved so much over the last 20 years it's almost like a classical art form." José says.
True passion for mariachi is the backbone behind José Hernández and Mariachi Sol de México's success and is sure to bring a fantastic show for all.
"Mariachi Sol De Mexico a show stopping performance led by Maestro José Hernández , he is responsible for taking Mariachi music to unprecedented heights a cross-breeding of Mariachi Styles." - Los Angeles Times (Enrique Lopetegui)

Beliefs are like gardening. Have you wondered why you can develop new, positive thoughts, and then old behaviors and outcomes reappear? It is like getting a second crop in your garden. You plant new seeds but old stuff from last season comes up again. Beliefs are like thorns, they are hard to remove, and the roots grow in new places. Thoughts create feelings—old thoughts often bring more intense and better feelings than new thoughts because we don't have enough positive outcomes yet to create a new feeling. You must consciously reward the new belief. For example, if you think skipping the gym or not consistently prospecting is a bad thing, but you continue to do so you haven't gotten to the root of the problem. Somewhere there is a belief that missing a couple days doesn't matter. Removing self-limiting mental baggage is like weeding a garden—it takes constant effort.

Q: How can I reduce server response time on my EC2 LAMP server? I just created a EC2 instance and installed LAMP on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I'm using AWS EC2 with 1 core processor and 1GB RAM. I have WordPress installed on it with its default theme. When I scanned my website on pagespeed insights, it is showing that I need to reduce my server response time.
I'm using PHP 7.1 and FPM for better performance and disabled .htaccess, yet no success. I tried finding to tune Apache performance but all the articles are almost same and nothing helped me.

SureCloud Helps TGI Fridays Combat Risk and Compliance Challenges
Restaurant chain TGI Fridays UK has deployed Governance, Risk and Compliance vendor SureCloud's GDPR suite to centralise and track its data and GDPR compliance, ensuring that the restaurant is equipped to meet GDPR requirements and to efficiently manage, store and analyse data. This solution replaces TGI Fridays' manual data mapping and processing methods.
When TGI was looking for a solution to streamline its GDPR compliance processes, it approached SureCloud in late 2017, and committed to using the SureCloud GDPR Application Suite in December 2017. This also came at a time when TGI was using a 'cumbersome' Excel spreadsheet to produce its annual report and was in the process of conducting a review of its suppliers. These lacked the reporting capabilities that the restaurant needed to fulfil its GDPR requirements.
Its recommendation was the SureCloud GDPR Suite, delivered on the SureCloud platform. SureCloud has enhanced TGI's ability to manage and provide reports on data subjects. Data can now be stored in a single centralised platform, which provides access for multiple users in TGI. After SureCloud had successfully demonstrated the ability to provide full visibility for management and automation of GDPR processes across the organisation, TGI selected its cloud-based suite of solutions.
The five applications TGI Fridays chose to deploy from the SureCloud GDPR Suite were:
GDPR Program Tracker – to enable TGI to map all its disparate data and workflows using intelligent risk-based questions
GDPR Management – to provide all mandatory GDPR business-as-usual processes
Information Asset Management – to record and maintain the TGI's entire data inventory
Compliance Management for GDPR – to help TGI speed up their process of attaining compliance and on-going real-time risk remediation
Incident Management for GDPR – to meet the GDPR requirement to log, track and notify the ICO of any data breaches, should an incident arise
TGI can now build and maintain information assets in a register, which provides instant reporting and analysis of data subjects. TGI is using Data Privacy Impact Assessments to identify and minimise the privacy risks of new projects, systems or policies. Its Data Risk Management (DRM) solution is recording interactions with people and providing clearer oversight and analysis of its retention policies. Moving forward, TGI is conducting a biannual statistical analysis of its data subjects to identify and measure levels of risk across the business. The solution also facilitates assessments and aggregates the data from TGI Fridays' suppliers making it easier to grade suppliers and their risks without having to extract the data from multiple different spreadsheets, accelerating the vendor risk assessment process.
Jeremy Dunderdale, IT Manager at TGI Fridays said:
"Since 2010 we had used the SureCloud platform for vulnerability testing and when we needed to conduct our third-party risk management assessment, we were working from a cumbersome Excel spreadsheet which we were using to send out annually, and we also had to review our suppliers. We then turned on the third-party risk management assessment module around 18 months ago to start utilising this. We were aware of other features of the GDPR Suite and were conscious that what we needed under GDPR – spreadsheets did not cut it.
"Everything is now brought together in a single location. We grade the system according to low, medium and high risk. It is all in the system meaning we now no longer need to look at 20 to 30 different spreadsheets. It pools the risks out of each individual spreadsheet. It is showing it on an overall platform. That is the benefit and what is nice is that it helps in a way with GDPR to ensure we appoint suppliers who have decent processes in regard to security."
TGI has put together an updated third-party risk management assessment, which its current and future suppliers who do or aspire to provide IT services for the retailer must undergo and adhere to. TGI prepared a modern slavery questionnaire for over 100 of its suppliers, as part of its commitment to good due diligence and that all its suppliers must meet high standards of IT security and are ISO27001 or another equivalent.
Jeremy Dunderdale added:
"Some people still think quantity of data is important not the quality of data. We had over 2 million data subjects before 25th May, but what we are realising now is that it is the quality of data that matters. SureCloud means we can now do more with the data we have such as monitoring retention policies, which is invaluable for us. We are happy to be with SureCloud; they are a good fit and the solution has implemented well into the business."
