Cooking Cardoons
November 22, 2013 · by Salette Andrews
Cardoons (Cynara cardunculus), are thistle-like plants that share a species with globe artichoke. Both are in the Asteraceae family, along with the herbs arnica, burdock, boneset, calendula, chamomile, cronewort (mugwort), coltsfoot, dandelion, echinacea, elecampane, feverfew, gravel root, grindelia, liferoot, milk thistle, tansy, yarrow, valerian, wormwood, and wild lettuce. The family also contains the foods sunflower seeds, lettuce, endive, and sun chokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes). And it contains the decorative flowers asters, chrysanthemums, dahlias, bachelor's buttons, daisies, cosmos, coneflowers, goldenrods, sunflowers, and zinnias. It is the naturally occurring form of the same species as the globe artichoke, and has many cultivated varieties.
Cardoons are native to the western and central Mediterranean region, and people have eaten them for a long time. Wild cardoon is the likely ancestor of both cardoons and artichokes. Gardeners who selected for large, non-spiny heads produced artichokes and gardeners who selected for non-spiny, large-stalked, tender leaves produced leafy cardoons. Roman gardeners were likely the first to grow cardoons. Romans dipped tender, young cardoon stems in warm olive oil and ate them raw. They baked, steamed, or fried the bigger stems. In his treatise, De re rustica, the Roman agricultural theorist Columella (4–ca. 70 AD) noted that the dried stamens of cardoons were used as a vegetarian rennet to coagulate milk into cheese. Pliny (23–79 AD) wrote that cardoons were cultivated for their medicinal value, and the leaves in particular have been used in traditional medicine for chronic liver and gall bladder diseases, jaundice, hepatitis, arteriosclerosis, type-2 diabetes in its early stages, and as a diuretic as well as a digestive aid. They can help disperse stones in the internal organs and are believed to be good for rheumatism.
Cardoons expanded north with the Roman Empire as far as the climate permitted. Cardoons, like artichokes, are frost-tender, so they never became established in Britannia or northern Gaul, but they were popular in warmer regions. To this day, cardoons are enjoyed in Spain, southern France, and northern Italy. Cardoon rennet cheeses were made by shepherds high in the Iberian mountain range now known as the Serra da Estrela. Over subsequent generations, cardoon cheese production spread through southern Portugal and into western Spain, where the technique is still used today.
The flavor of mature cardoon stalks was bitter, but when blanched, it became milder than that of artichoke. Its cultivation was also very labor-intensive: "Towards the middle of October, the plants will be large enough, and ready for blanching. This is done on a dry day, by first gathering up all the leaves closelv round the centre, and in that position binding them together with strands of mat or twigs. This done, each plant is earthed up in the manner of celery, so that the points of the highest leaves are only exposed at top. In two or three weeks the leaf-stalks will be sufficiently blanched."–Charles Frederick Partington, The British Cyclopædia of Natural History (London, 1825). Because the plants grew four to six feet tall, compacting earthen mounds around the stalks required substantial digging and shaping. Because the leaf stalks, like those of other thistles, had many thorns, tying them into a bunch could be treacherous. Depending upon the variety planted, the cardoons had to be in soil four to five weeks in order to be properly blanched and tenderized, but it also had to be harvested before the first frost, so timing had to be precise.
The word for thistle in Latin is cardo. The word for "big thistle" is cardone in Italian and chardon in French. Swiss cooks wanted to prepare cardoons, but Switzerland is too cold for cardoons to grow. Farmers bred beet greens, Beta vulgaris, into a more cold-tolerant plant with a fat, white, succulent, mild-flavored stalk that could be prepared like chardon. This vegetable became known as chardon Suisse in French and "Swiss chard" or chard in English.
Spanish explorers brought cardoons to South America. The first cattle were introduced into Argentina in 1549; they reached the Pampas in the 1580s and found a very favorable habitat for expansion. Their hooves destroyed the native turf, allowing feral cardoon seeds to germinate. Cattle dung fertilized the soil, and the cardoon patches became thistle jungles. The cardoons lost their domestic traits and reverted to their original thorny forms. The feral cattle could also take cover in the feral cardoon forests to avoid domestication and slaughtered. They moved southwards towards Patagonia where natural selection and tough environmental constraints shaped them into a new variety, the "Creole" breed.
By the 18th century, Quakers had introduced cardoons to North America. They were among the largest plants grown in North America prior to the rise of industrial agriculture.
On September 19th, 1832, biologist Charles Darwin visited the remote Argentine settlement of Guardia del Monte, and noted that the village marked the southernmost limit of the cardoon infestation on the pampas. Darwin noted patches where cardoons stood as high as a horse's back in stands that covered hundreds of square miles.
In North America, because cardoons preferred warmer climates and richer soils, they were mainly grown by southern farmers, but sold in northern cities from the 1850s to the First World War. Grown for the blanched mid-rib of the leaf, they became one of the fancy vegetables found on hotel menus in major urban centers, where celebrity chefs prepared them in a range of dishes during fall and winter.
Cardoons are very low-calorie vegetable; they provide just 22 calories per 100 grams. They contain unique health-benefiting phytochemicals, including antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and vitamins.
Cardoons can:
Promote cardiovascular health. Cardoons are an excellent source of potassium and magnesium and a good source of sodium and calcium. Potassium regulates muscle contraction, including heart rythym and lowers blood pressure by counteracting the detrimental effects of sodium and regulating fluid balance. Magnesium helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and promotes normal blood pressure. Sodium controls blood pressure and volume and helps muscles and nerves to work properly. Calcium supports vascular contraction and dilation. The fiber in cardoons also helps remove bile salts from your body. When your body replaces these salts, it breaks down cholesterol to do so. Cynarin and sesquiterpene-lactones, two bitter substances in cardoons, can reduce cholesterol by inhibiting its synthesis and increasing its excretion in the bile. Cynarin can also improve liver and gall bladder functions, and stimulates the secretion of digestive juices.
Build strong muscles and bones. The potassium in cardoons regulates muscle contraction; stores carbohydrates for muscles to use as fuel, and promotes regular muscle growth; and maintains the density and strength of bones by decreasing urinary calcium loss. Magnesium helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps bones strong, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Sodium helps muscles work properly. Calcium supports bone structure and muscle function. Cardoons are a good source of manganese, which facilitates protein and carbohydrate metabolism and formation of bone.
Fight free radicals. Cardoons are a good source of manganese, which is a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Cardoon stalks contain numerous phytochemicals such as luteolin, silymarin, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and dicaffeoyl-quinic acids, which protect cellular proteins, membrane lipids, and DNA from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which can cause cancer and other diseases.
Nutrients in 100 Grams of Boiled Cardoons
Daily Value
Cardoons resemble a bunch of wide, flat celery. You can find them in markets in mid-winter through to early spring. Look for firm, crisp stalks with a silvery gray-green color. Choose the lightest colored cardoons, because the greener they are, the more likely they will be bitter.
Refrigerate cardoons in a sealed container up to one week.
To prepare, remove tough outer stalks. Wash the inner stalks well. Trim the base and tops. Peel the back of the stalks before cooking them. Be careful, because cardoons are thistles, and just like artichokes, they have thorns, albeit quite small. The thorns are located on the edges of the stalks and need to be trimmed. Cut the stalks into 2-3 inch pieces. If you are not going to cook them immediately, soak them in water in which you have mixed the juice of a lemon. This will prevent them turning brown. Boil, braise or bake until tender (some recipes call for boiling up to 30-40 minutes). You can also use them in long-simmering soups and stews. You can also use them in a gratin by baking them in a cheesy sauce for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and brown. When you cook them you won't need to add salt as they contain sodium naturally. The roots can be cooked like parsnips.
When cardoons are cooked, their flavor is a cross between artichoke, celery, and salsify. They're a popular Italian vegetable.

Top 5 Causes of Boating Accidents
Before you get out on the water this summer, prepare yourself to keep you and your family safe by reading up on five of the biggest causes of boating accidents. Boat collisions can be hazardous and cause tremendous amounts of expensive damage as well.
Operating While Intoxicated
Alcohol use causes more deaths in boating accidents than any other known factor, according to reports from the U.S. Coast Guard. Not only is it unsafe, but it's also illegal to operate a boat while intoxicated. It reduces your reaction time and makes you more impulsive, and there's a lot that can go wrong when you're driving a boat, especially in areas crowded with other boats.
If you're going to take some beers with you when you go out boating on the lake with friends, make sure you have a designated person to stay sober who has the experience necessary to steer the boat back home safely. Don't put the people around you in danger just for the sake of a good time.
Inexperience
Only a few states in the country require you to have an actual boating license, but most states require most boat operators to go through an approved safety course before they can drive a boat on their own. More training is always valuable though, as many accidents on the water are caused by drivers who don't have a lot of experience steering their boat.
"Taking a course online only prepares you so much for navigating between other ships and safely docking with your boat," says Jason Chalik, founding attorney of Chalik Law. "It takes a lot of practice to be able to operate your vehicle responsibly." A lot of casual boat operators also might not see it as much of a big deal if they pass the wheel occasionally to other passengers or children with less experience. The driver of a boat needs to know what they're doing to be able to keep their passengers safe.
Even experienced drivers cause a lot of accidents by being reckless or aggressive while operating their vessel. The U.S. Coast Guard lists inattention, excessive speed and "improper lookout" as significant factors that contribute to boat accidents. If you're going to operate a boat, you need to focus on steering and staying aware of the other boats and objects around you.
Speeding or joyriding in a boat is especially dangerous and irresponsible. Thrill-seekers should stick to jet skis and water skis instead of putting other passengers and boat operators in danger by excessively speeding.
Just like with cars, countless things can go wrong and cause an accident with a boat. If your boat is not up-to-date on its maintenance, you could have problems while you're out on the lake. Take the boat in to see a mechanic at least at the start of the season, and watch carefully for any changes so you can catch other problems before they start.
A big part of boating safety is making sure your boat is prepared for the inevitable emergencies, too. Get a free safety inspection at the start of the summer to make sure you have the tools you need to respond efficiently when things go wrong on the water.
Weather and Water Conditions
Always check the forecast before you get in your boat. Another common contributing factor to boat accidents is the weather. Whether it's a small storm or a severe natural disaster, your boat is at the whim of the environment. Even an experienced boat operator is going to be challenged to get home safely in the middle of a storm, and someone who's just starting is going to face even more significant challenges when the waves start to get bigger, or the wind picks up. Think ahead and do your best to be prepared for whatever may come your way.

I dont want to use base_url as user will be able to navigate and see the file through the browser as well.

A: You need to use the base_url() to include the javascript file in your VIEW.
For ex.
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url();?>js/jquery-ui.min.js" ></script>

For CSS you can use link_tag.
For ex: <?php echo link_tag('css/AdminLTE.css'); ?>
You will need the URL helper and html helper.

2016 Academy Awards - Sunday, February 29th.
Red carpet at 81st Annual Academy Awards in Kodak Theatre, Los Angeles.By: Greg Hernandez
'The Grand Budapest Hotel' Wins Big At the Oscars
The polls are in! 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' sweeps the Oscars with a total of 4 awards. No doubt deserving every single one of them. The film was original, clever, funny, and strange. Not to mention the sets and costumes were beautiful and packed with amazing color. It seemed to me like every award was being handed off to anyone associated with the film.
2015 Full Oscars Nominees List
This year is full of amazing choices. In my opinion one of the best years in a long time. Speaking in terms of actual good content to choose from instead of just remake after remake and dry comedies. My favorite and most anticipated category is Best Picture. There are two films that have caught a lot of attention this year, 'Boyhood' and, 'Birdman'.
Five Films That Should Have Never Been Awarded 'Best Picture of the Year'
The Academy Award for Best Picture should go to the film that will stand the test of time. The award should go to a film that will resonate with audiences for decades to come; a film that we can all collectively look back on and say that was truly one of the best films that came out that year. A film worthy of being honored and remembered.Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

By 1999, problems at Pahokee had grow to be so dire that Correctional Companies Corp. risked shedding its contract. Beneath state legislation, that termination would have prevented the corporate from securing a new contract in Florida for not less than a 12 months.
Florida's permissive oversight has allowed Youth Providers International to primarily game the system since coming into the state more than a decade ago. Regardless of contractual requirements that the corporate report severe incidents at its facilities, YSI routinely fails to doc problems, sanitizes those stories it does submit and pressures inmates to withhold proof of mistreatment, in keeping with interviews with 14 former YSI workers.
In latest months, Congress has handed new laws to try to close the inspection gap and ensure hospices are reviewed not less than every three years. Health specialists mentioned it will not be enough to weed out the worst providers and persuade violators to reform.

This past weekend was pretty warm here, and by warm, I mean, it's still January, and the temperature is above freezing. The snow is melting, and the magnolia next door is thinking about budding. But it's still winter, and we can get hit by frigid temps and snowy weather any day, at least until April. So even though I'm already looking forward to Easter and spring and sunshine, there is still a need to stay warm.
Here's a smaller sized infinity scarf (or cowl) that's light yet cozy and will keep you warm and brighten your days until spring! This was worked using a classic V-stitch, crocheted in the round. For added bulk, use 2 strands of yarn held together.
Update: I made some minor corrections after some questions came up. There's a round of sc before the V-stitches start. Then the number of V-stitch rounds is optional. I used 6, but you can work up as many or as little as you want.
2 balls of worsted weight yarn.
If you liked this pattern, or are new here, or both, and want more projects, take a moment and check out my other patterns!
Good Morning ChiWei, I can crochet, but it has been a long time since I have made anything, so I think this cowl type scarf would be perfect. I am going to give it a go, I will let you know how I get on.
Oooh, have fun! I'd love to see yours when you are done!
It's gorgeous, ChiWei – I LOVE these cowls. It saves me from having to figure out the most stylish way to wrap my scarf, LOL! We have full-on winter here this morning, the first "real" snow of the winter, so this would have been cute and handy this morning!! Blech!
This is beautiful – and what a great color to perk up the winter wardrobe! I have never learned to crochet but might need to try my hand at it. Happy Monday!
Thank you Kirsten! I'll be having a crochet-along in a few weeks, if you'd care to join and learn with us. Have a great week!
I decided yesterday I was going to make myself an infinity scarf, cuz I'm tired of the added bulkyness of a normal scarf under my coat. So your pattern comes in at the right time. I think this smaller one will be better than the full infinity scarf you have, but which do you prefer? Now to get some yarn!
I love the look of V-stitch, and find it a relaxing crochet! Your cowl looks lovely!
It's beautiful! Wish I knew how to crochet. Love it!!
So pretty!!! Love the color! Thanks so much for sharing.
Wonderful! I'd love to have you come share some of your projects at my link party that just went live!
I love it! I have pinned the pattern to make next on my list! Thank you!
Love the color! You are so talented :).
This is another reason, I need to learn to crochet! Love it!!
So pretty! I love the bright pink you used, breaks up the gray of winter!
This pink color is so cool, spice up a regular winter outfit! I love your pattern!
I LOVE it! I'm hosting a CAL right now using the Calm Cowl pattern by Suzana Davidovic so I was especially interested in your cowl. I love that it is made using a bulky yarn.
This is so cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Love the shade of pink you used here ChiWei! So pretty! Thanks for sharing!
Very cute! I love the fun color.
Cute! I love that color of pink!
What a beautiful scarf, the color just jumps off the page!
Very pretty scarf. I have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Blog Hop and would love to have you share this and any other posts with everyone. It runs from Tuesday night through midnight Sunday. Here is the link to the party.
Found your pattern via petalsandpicots….thanks for this pattern! Been looking for a crochet infinity cowl (most ive found are knitted). Going to give it a try this weekend. You have a lovely blog :).
This seems like the perfect project right now! Pinned this for future reference. Thanks for linking up at Hookin on Hump Day!
Hi Kathy! You can post pictures on a blog, or Flickr or a Picasa website or Instagram or Pinterest, anywhere that can be publicly accessible, so when you share it at the link party, everyone else can see what you made.
I am on row 2. Wondering what stich to do v stitch in. Chain space or dc?
Thanks Heather – actually, I reviewed the pattern and missed one round of sc. And the V stitch is in the chain space. Thanks for the great catch!
Beautiful. I have to learn to crochet.
I am almost done with mine, and would love to make some fingerless gloves or hat (or both) with the same yarn. Do you have any ideas or patterns that you think are good?
I've also added the Slinky Crochet flower to it as well and it's turned out awesome!
Great. Looks like just what I was thinking of!! Thanks!!
Once you join into back ridge of chain should you be sc in the front or back of the chain. Sorry new to crochet and I'd like to get this right.
I crochet in the front of the chain. It gives it a slight twist but I think that's what makes this cowl so perfect.
"sc" is single crochet. Hope that helps!
I like this! Got you from Sewing Barefoot's link at Diana's pin me link party. Pinned this, too!
This is beautiful. I really should make me one too.
I was wondering if this could be worked up with an N hook instead of M. For some odd reason, I have everything but an M and I'm too lazy to go buy one unless I really need to. Or could this be worked up with just one strand of yarn using like an H or J?
Sure, you can use any size hook really – you just have to adjust yarn and gauge. The difference between an M and an N isn't big enough to noticeably change the outcome. Working with 1 strand of yarn may make the scarf too small to be cozy, but it's definitely doable!
I am wondering if each row of vstitch goes into the middle of th v stitch in the previous row? Or does it go into horne top of a dc?
I must have been half asleep last night! The answer is in round three! Sorry!
I'm just getting into crochet and think this looks like a good first "real" project for me. You say two balls of worsted weight yarn. Can you expand on that with yardage or weight? I'm finding the amount of yarn needed for things to be the biggest mystery for me so far! Many thanks in advance!
I loved the way mine came out using this pattern was seriously quick easy and soo cute! Thank you! Keep em comin!
Hi Molly, That happens to me a lot too. I force myself to make the foundation chain really loose. Sometimes, I use a larger hook to make the chain, and then switch to the correct hook for the rest of the piece. I also rip out the first couple of rows, a lot, once I realize I made my chain too tightly, so yup, you're not alone there!
I've been told I should do videos, but to be super honest, I don't like the sound of my voice, lol. So I've always shied away from video. If I do venture into the deep water that is video, I will definitely share it!
I am almost finished with the cowl – coming out great! (present for my sister) Mine is definitley not as long as in the picture. Is it because this is the smaller size? Or is it because I am using a K hook or crocheting too tightly?
Needing some help. I chain the 99. Make the sc row which is ch 1 and 99sc. Join to the ch1 and make a double crochet in that same join. Skip two sts…..then when I could to the end of that row I have 3 sc left before the join to start on the next row when there so be two sc. Any idea what I might be doing right?
* I do chain the 3 then make a double crochet in the same st. That's all worked in the join.
If you have 3 stitches left, then maybe not crochet in the same stitch when you begin the round? I'm sorry I can't help more.
Hi, I have just started your end of Winter Infinity scarf and I love the pattern. I have just started Round 3 and I am unsure whether I do the V stitch where it says "dc ch1 dc into the ch 1 space" which is the bigger space made from previous round where I skipped 2 stitches or the smaller space just under the ch 1 as they are both located close together. I have been doing the V stitch into the bigger space lower down – is this right? Please reply before I go any further. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I have made this scarf longer and I have 163 stitches and made it using a light grey bulky Bernat yarn and size 9 hook. Thanks again!
Great post. I wass checking constantly this weblog and I am inspired!
Extremely helpful info specially the remaining part 🙂 I deal with such nfo much.

Author(s): Béla Bernstein / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 1998

Az Auschwitzi jegyzőkönyv
Author(s): György Haraszti / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 2005
The Auschwitz Memorandum is the fundamental text of the last century. Two Auschwitz concentration camp inmates who escaped on April 1944 from the largest Nazi death factory wanted to tell the world the bad news in order to save the lives of hundreds of thousands. What they really presented was the supreme anatomy of evil that they personally witnessed in full bloom. Our publication is a collection of all the historical documents that reached the world from Auschwitz from 1942 to May 1944. The historian György Haraszti edited the documents and wrote the introductory essay. The Burning Secret is as exiting reading as a mystery novel. With the help of the testimony of Auschwitz inmates the reader learns much about the family of Nicholas Horthy, the inner workings of Zionist organizations as well as the politics of Roosevelt, Churchill and the Pope. Janos Kobanyai's The Auschwitz Gospel asks the question of how the Auschwitz Memorandum could save only the majority of the Jews of Budapest? His investigating essay, which concludes our volume, is a dramatic presentation in a world historical setting. The secret was out and as a result many escaped death but since the news was not fully aired many more met their end in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

Az út szélén
Holokauszt-életek
The book contains three Holocaust narratives. They are the recollections of ordinary people whose experiences comprise their sole writing, story and message. The three pieces are not just the narratives of three different fates, but also present three different sociological backgrounds, all characteristic of Hungarian Jewry. And emphasis is placed on three different stages in the Holocaust narrative. Pál Kádár's story ("A körgyógynapszámos" [The seasonal healer]) presents the life of a village doctor and his family – until their deportation to Auschwitz. The narrative featured in the collection's title (Kornélia Terner: "Az út szélén" [At the edge of the road]) describes all three stages: the uprooting of a Jewish rural household, the events at Auschwitz, and the emotional difficulties of readjusting to ordinary life under the communist system, as well as the wounds that would not heal and finally the outburst after the last political upturn in 1989. Júlia Fodor-Wieg's piece "Ezekből az emlékekből fogok élni" [I am going to live on these memories] describes the Holocaust as it was experienced by upper-middle-class Jews. The other great Hungarian narrative on the Holocaust is the hunt for men in the jungle of Budapest. The focus of her story continues until her departure from Hungary in 1957. She tells of the demise of a plundered Jewish middle-class, a great and credible document of the will and capacity for life. All three pieces bring us closer to ordinary people who are also heroes. Visual records of the destroyed world illustrate the book. In the epilogue The Holocaust as Narrative, János Kőbányai, who collected the memoirs, analyses and typifies the Hungarian Holocaust as a historical and cultural phenomenon on the lines of Imre Kertész's "great narrative".
Balkáni történetek
States do have their own order, as cities have their own order as well. And all of them have backyards. You put everything in the backyard –according to the common sense, untidy and immoral -what does not fit into the general order, and in particular everything that does not want to fit in that order. In Europe, almost all countries have such backyards. It is true, that they are isolated from each other. But Europe as a whole has also its own backyard, which you can put under the category "the Balkans".

Most of the essays in this collection have been first published in the periodical Múlt és Jövő (Past and Future). The author deals with the question: What does it mean to be a Jew in today's Hungary. He analyses the past experiences and values and takes as example the biography and lifework of Sándor Scheiber, Aladár Komlós, Károly Pap, Imre Ámos - and as contemporary Ágnes Heller.
Jób díja
Háttés és recepció
Job's Prize began as an epilogue to The Depths of the Man – an anthology of the writings of Imre Kertész published in the magazine Múlt és Jövő. It is a separate work and a supplement, the two works, separate, but together as one, aim at some kind of stereo effect. The editor of the magazine and compiler of the anthology János Kőbányai sought out the general narrative behind the life-work of the Nobel Prize-winner, what material constitutes the history from which Imre Kertész raised and unfurled his own "Fatelessness". Four consecutive eras of Hungarian Jewish history form the meta-narrative of this extraordinary achievement and its reception: the rapid but poorly founded Jewish assimilation of the Reform era and the reserved manner of acceptance; then the collapse of this process about a century later, or the Hungarian Holocaust so peculiar; followed by a period of enforced amnesia, that denied Jews any integrated form of identity; finally, contemporary times after the political change, which in the field of everyday politics tried to rewrite the Hungarian narrative, or in Kőbányai's words: "to remove the actors from the stage". This is the background to the birth of the work of Kertész and the failure to accept it in Hungary, but also to the generous reception of the novel all over the world, unprecedented in the annals of Hungarian literature since Janus Pannonius. In the second part, the author analyses the startled reception in Hungary of Kertész's Nobel Prize and the intellectual discourse as it evolved in its wake.
Két világ határán
György Haraszti is an outstanding member of the middle-aged generation of historians. The articles in this book investigate the milestones along the symbiotic process of co-existence of Jews and Hungarians during the 1000 years of Hungarian history. This collection contains his writings of the last ten years on the shared Jewish-Hungarian history. He draws on the latest findings of Hungarian and international historical research, and he also takes a new approach to 18th-century Jewish migration into Hungary, the social structure of Hungarian Jewry in 1848, and the question of the much-debated migration from Galicia. The closing essay surveys the problems of Hungarian-Jewish history writing.
Löw Lipót beszédei
Author(s): Lipót (Leopold) Löw / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 1999
Lipót (Leopold) Löw (1811-1875) , Hungarian rabbi was the foremost preacher of Hungary, and was invited to participate in nearly all the patriotic celebrations and synagogal dedications. The Jewish education throughout Hungary owed much to him.

Múlt és Jövő
Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Hungary
The first issue of the new Múlt és Jövő Journal appeared, in the form of an anthology, in December 1988. (The Journal is often referred to as MéJ: in academic publications the letters "ÚF", that is, new series, are added.) In 1989 two issues were published, and since 1990 there have been four regular issues per year. Our bibliography, which will be completed in the course of 2000 and which will also be available on the Internet, will provide readers with information about our work over the past ten years. The main genres to be found in the Journal include essays; historical, sociological and Judaistic studies; literature; the fine arts; reportage; and interviews. Although only a small part of our photographic material and illustrations will be found on our Internet pages, we plan to create an illustrations archive, through which we will be able to assist those interested in related subjects. Due to the increasing numbers of foreign subscribers to the Journal we include an English-language contents page and summary at the end of each issue - this is also required by foreign university libraries that subscribe to the Journal. Most of our issues focus on a particular theme. During recent years successive issues of the Journal have focused on the Jewish population of individual countries, such as Israel, Poland, France and Germany, in an attempt to establish connections with Jewish spiritual forums and personalities in these countries. In terms of the themes chosen for the Journal and for our publications, the years 1998 and 1999 were dominated by the 150th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and 1848 War of Independence, and the 50th anniversary of the birth of the State of Israel. We also publish an annotated bibliography of Jewish-related books published in Hungarian, thus familiarity with the Múlt és Jövő Journal is invaluable for those with an interest in Hungarian Jewish studies.

Zsidó identitás történetek
Author(s): Éva Kovács,Júlia Vajda / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 2002
The individual and collective identity of the Jews is a well-established subject of research in sociology, social psychology and social history. This book differs from other studies in exploring Jewish identity through the coexistence of Jews with non-Jews in Hungary. It presents the "Jewishness" of such individuals and families who live in mixed marriages, in which the Jewish origin of one party (be it public or secret) becomes a source of peculiar identities. Through coexistence, Jewishness acquires new meanings ranging from a more intense identity, through abandoning or changing Jewish identity, to self-hatred and latent anti-Semitism. The book examines the changing use of various Jewish symbols, rituals and objects (e.g., Star of David, circumcision, Menorah). It is the first study in Hungary, which deals with the "Jewish identity" of non-Jews, philo-Semitism and pseudo-Jewish identity in mixed marriages. Also, it strives to bring the traumas of the Shoah in public debate by analysing it from the perspective of coexistence. Thereby, the book presents the guilty conscience of the children and grandchildren of the perpetrators, which has not been analysed in Hungary yet. Finally, the rediscovery of Jewish identity, a process that also includes some distancing from that identity is examined in a biographical context – a novelty in Jewish Studies in Hungary as well.

Author(s): István Domán / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 2006
The autobiography of István Domán (like his novel about his father) is an unusual document. He describes not only the orthodox Jewish micro cosmos, but also the psychic world and consciousness of this subculture, which has been forgotten in the literature, sociography as well as in the anthropological research.

Happy Valentine's Day!! To celebrate Valentine's week, I am officially declaring this to be "Kim & Julien Week!" Today, their engagement session... Tomorrow, their wedding photos... Thursday, their photobooth photos. Why? Just because! They are an awesome couple, and I loved everything about their engagement session and wedding - they definitely wanted to put a lot of themselves and their personality into it all. I love it when a couple chooses a location for their engagement shoot that is significant to them in some way, and Kim and Julien are, of course, big Red Sox fans. I had never been to Fenway before their shoot - it was so much fun! And then we went to the Public Garden for some more "traditional" engagement photos.

Lagos House Passes Bill For Establishment Of "Legislative Institute"
Lagos State House of Assembly has passed a bill to establish the Institute of Legislative Studies and Research.
The new agency is the state's version of the Institute of Legislative Studies established at the national level.
The passage followed the third reading by the Acting Clerk of the House, Mr Olalekan Onafeko, which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Alhaji Wasiu Eshinlokun-Sanni.
With the passage, the proposed Institute of Legislative Studies will be the first in Nigeria to be backed by law.
In May 2021, during the public hearing on the bill, the Director of the National Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies, Abuja, Dr Shuaib Danwaka, said that the institute is predicated on the need to provide training for lawmakers and legislative staff.
Dr Danwaka, who was the guest speaker at the event, commended the Assembly for following the federal government's footsteps while arguing that democracy is sustained through capacity development.
"The bill is to establish the institute that would provide capacity so that the Assembly would be able to discharge its duties of lawmaking and oversight.
"The duties of the legislature cannot be discharged without capacity. With the institute, the capacity of the legislature and staff is guaranteed, and it will go beyond Lagos and Nigeria," he said while noting some parts of the bill that should be considered."
Like Dr Danwaka, Prof. Sylvester Odion Akhaine, a Nigerian activist and academic, supported the bill but noted areas that could be reviewed.
The bill sponsored by the Speaker of the House, Chief Mudashiru Obasa, shows that the proposed institute is to be charged with conducting quality academic and professional research, training and advocacy on democratic governance, legislative practices, procedures and for connected purposes.
According to the bill, the institute would act as a centre of excellence for research and publication on democratic governance and be a centre for continuing education on democracy and legislation.
Among other functions, the institute is to "conduct courses for all categories of legislative officers and the support staff to expand their overall knowledge and performance in different sections of service;
"Provide continuing education for all categories of legislative officers by undertaking, organising, conducting and facilitating studies, courses, lectures, seminars, workshops, conference and other programmes related to Legislative education;
"Promote and disseminate among legislative Assemblies and Local Governments in the State the practice of science-based methodologies of lawmaking."
Lagos Assembly Screens Perm Sec Nominees
The House also screened two State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu's nominees.
The nominees are Sikiru Salami for the Permanent Secretary/State Auditor-General and Ogunlana Musa for the Permanent Secretary/Auditor-General Unified Local Government Services.

A conversation with Dipti, Strategy & Operations (BizOps) Sprint alum and now New Verticals at DoorDash, on her journey from banking to CPG to tech and what she learned along the way
Dipti is a great example of someone who has been thoughtful about her career moves, as she focused on the learning and growth opportunities rather than specific titles. This led her to shift from banking to CPG to an exciting role in tech (New Verticals at DoorDash).
Here are the highlights of our chat with her ⬇ You can find the full spotlight here.
PS if you were looking for Thiago's spotlight from last week, it's now live here.
Hey Dipti! What's your current role & location?
📍Engagement Associate at DoorDash on the New Verticals team. I'm based out of Toronto.
How would you would compare your experience working in banking, CPG and tech?
Through university, I did finance-focused internships in banking. While everything at the bank was very numbers heavy, I didn't see my direct impact on the broader marketplace.
Contrasting to PepsiCo, which is where I landed my first role after I graduated, I saw how the work I was doing - like building models - was translating into campaigns or into how we were pricing our products on the shelves. Seeing that direct impact onto the actual marketplace was huge for me. My role at PepsiCo was a Brand Finance Analyst where I focused on finance and strategy. I gained a lot of experience diving into numbers, financial models, and really built my analytical skills. That was a really crucial experience for getting a better understanding of the retail and the CPG space.
Tech, and particularly DoorDash, is extremely fast paced. There's so much work going on and being able to prioritize is crucial. A lot of the things I was working on in my previous role I would classify as "nice-to-haves", but in a startup, you need to constantly be working on projects that are providing the most value to the company. Secondly, in larger CPG companies, you'll typically have someone telling you exactly what to be working on, but in tech, you'll likely have more autonomy over what you're working on. This is great, but also comes with a lot of responsibility. The fact that it's really interesting, challenging work keeps me motivated even though I'm not necessarily being told what to do by a manager.
In my previous role, it was a lot of: "Hey, we need to do this. We need to do that". Now, it's: "this is the vision for our vertical - go make it happen".
With this working style, a lot of the work is actually created by myself, which is something that I don't think most people in traditional industries are used to. I think that's what keeps me motivated; I feel challenged but also empowered to go out and do things.
So I would say that the big difference is the speed at which we move, as well as the way in which work is created and delegated.
How did your experience in CPG prepare you for a career in tech?
Getting familiarized with the retail space was a huge plus in joining DoorDash, especially since I was joining the New Verticals team. We work very closely with the largest grocery and convenience and other retail partners across the country, so having that familiarity with the space in general, knowing the brands, knowing how to get a product on shelves, and knowing how a retailer thinks about selling products was something that really helped me.
The other piece I would say is coming from the CPG space, you understand all the different functions of a CPG organization and the supply chain in general. So working with merchants now, when they talk about price inflation, or they talk about certain costs rising, or they talk about shortages, I understand because I dealt with that previously.
Lastly, skills like working with different folks, being well spoken, communicating, and being analytical are things that are developed when you work in CPG and are valuable across industries within tech. Given these skills, I think that people with backgrounds in CPG are well-served to get into tech companies - whether they're retail focused or not.
What experiences or skills did you gain from your Strategy & Operations (BizOps) Sprint with The Commons that you were able to leverage in your pivot into tech?
Marketplace Industry Knowledge: Since the project in the Strategy & Operations (BizOps) Sprint focuses on a three-sided marketplace, the work that we were doing was actually very practical for helping me understand the three-sided marketplace at DoorDash. It helped me understand the differences and also the similarities between a Dasher (driver), a consumer, and the merchant: all the different stakeholders that make up our business and how you have to consider all of them when making decisions.
Mentorship: Coming from an external industry, you're not as familiar with the way in which you should structure the problem and how you should communicate your solution. So guidance from my mentor and the workshops really helped me out. Callum was also really candid and transparent with me about tech roles, recruiting, and helped me understand the skills that are necessary to succeed in this industry.
Delegation: By working with a team during the Sprint, I got a really good understanding of how to best delegate work based on people's skills... I learned a lot about the best way to approach teamwork within a short amount of time.
Slack Discussions: The Commons Slack community played such a big role in my pivot. There are a bunch of different channels in the Slack community that you can tap into for support: there's a channel for people to post roles at their company, there's a channel to discuss interview prep, there's a channel to ask the community for advice about whatever career challenges you might be facing.
The Community: The people in the community are so helpful as well. One of the most critical elements was just how willing everyone was to set up time and just chat. A lot of time you can reach out to people through LinkedIn, but having a common community and knowing that people are all here to further their careers definitely helps in getting the direct advice that you need. When you're a part of this community you feel like you're not asking for too much and you're not wasting anyone's time. Everyone is here for one reason and that's to help elevate each other's careers.
Last question: now that you work in tech, what's the number one piece of advice you give to other community members when they reach out for help with their own pivots?
When you're recruiting it's very easy to get caught up in a particular role or particular position. My biggest piece of advice is: don't get too attached to a particular role. Keep in mind the goal of why you're recruiting in the first place. For me, it was that I'm still learning and any role that allows me to learn something beyond finance, beyond analytics is a win for me.
Not to be too cheesy but I also just want to add that even though I joined the Strategy & Operations Sprint and successfully pivoted into tech, the journey doesn't stop here. I truly believe that there's still so much I want to learn at DoorDash and within tech. So I continue to post things in the #community-advice Slack channel or the #great-reads channel because I want to learn and to continue to discern what's next for me in my career. I think your pivot into tech doesn't necessarily end. I think it continues to spiral into other levels. Even if you do get the role you're looking for, it doesn't necessarily mean you stop. Industries will continue to evolve. New industries will continue to pop up. And so that's the key piece that I think being a part of this community really helps with. The Commons is all about learning and developing the skills required for any new industry or any new sort of work experience or professional experience you're looking for.

ENROL IN A SPRINT
What the community is talking about...
Discussions in The Commons are prolific. Here's a top one from this past week: to abide by or to not abide by take-home case time constraints. 🤔
Prompt: Is it common practice to disregard the time restraints for take home assignments during the job search? I have been doing my best to strictly adhere to the time allotted and feel like I may be handicapping myself.
Community Responses: The community broke this one down into two aspects: a) the time constraints to submit the assignment back to the recruiter (i.e. submit it back within 2 business days) and b) the recommended time for the assignment (i.e. the company recommends spending only 4 hours on it).
Part A: The time constraints to submit the assignment back to the recruiter
Bilal: "...I try to stick to the time restraints for take home assignments. Ideally I'd pick a weekend and free up my calendar to work on it. If I can't turn it around for any reason, I'd let the recruiter know ASAP (+ points for proactive communication/project management). With all that said, it's usually not a big deal if you're late by a little bit."
Part B: The recommended time for the assignment
Since this one was controversial, we'll keep responses anonymous, but you can always head to the full thread to see who said what 😉
Perspective 1: "Do it in the time provided. If there are multiple candidates, I've usually seen all are given the same time constraints on these things, so if you are given more time to stand out, that's unfair to the others that may be going through the process."
"If you're finding you need to go over the time constraints often, you might also be doing more than what you're interviewers are expecting, which isn't always a good thing. There's usually going to be some level of analysis / deliverable creation that you should be capable of completing in the time. Most of the time I don't think you're going to get a lot of "bonus" points for going more in depth than what the interviewer was looking for. Also, communication is incredibly important in an interview - I've seen a lot of people do poorly because they overcomplicated an analysis and then struggled to give a clear, succinct recommendation / story. Personally, if I see that someone did way more than I asked for, I start worrying about their ability to prioritize."
Perspective 2:
"A lot of employers will say 'we expect this to take up to 4 hours …'. Such BS."
"I think I would spend more time, provided I can keep a clear and succinct "so what". Like [the above poster] mentioned, a lot of those times that aren't a due date are quite unrealistic."
"Based on my experience, I submit it on the deadline day (if they say 2 days, take 2 days). However, take as long as you need to get ready. For one case, they suggested I take 5 hours. I took closer to 10 and don't think it was possible to do it faster. They loved my output and told me that's exactly what they were looking for. When they asked how long I spent and I said two full evenings, they were impressed it only took me that long. Their expectation vs what they suggested was completely misaligned. I'd rather have over-prepped than not done enough and lose the opportunity"

Taylor's are proud sponsors of Ryan Smith-British Truck Racing Champion of 2016. We had over 350 Taylors colleagues, friends and family all supporting Ryan who had a very successful weekend achieving 2 x 1st places, 2 x 2nd places and 1 x 4th place.
For most of our visitors it was their first experience of truck racing and from the feedback we have received this week it won't be their last!
The images above show Rebecca Taylor, daughter of Alan Taylor leading the field in the second race acting as the Pace Truck. Although nervous Rebecca loved the experience but will leave the serious racing to Ryan!
The second image show the Taylor's VIP Event Trailer which proved to be a great base for guests to take a seat and share the excitement of watching the running repairs being carried out by the mechanics between races. The prosecco, real ales and cider were flowing along with a buffet and bbq.
The third image shows the Alan Taylor and family with 11 Taylor's vehicles that took part in the Convoy in the Park around the Donington Circuit.
Taylor's HGV Driver Training School were on hand to invite the public to get behind the wheel of a HGV truck. The response was overhwlming and our Team were busy from 8.30 - 5.30pm to ensure that no-one missed out on the experience.
A successful weekend for everyone involved and congratulations to Ryan Smith (shown centre below) who gave us plenty to celebrate.
Thank you to all our supporters and we hope to see you at future meetings.


Management at W New York, Times Square, recently renovated its second-floor lobby as a tribute to Times Square, which is located just a few blocks away. Offering a lively atmosphere that transforms to nightclub-chic with a custom DJ booth, the space houses custom neon lighting, vibrant signs, and a digital countdown clock that's almost seven feet tall.
In addition to the visual appeal, the design features more than 40 hidden speakers that deliver high-quality audio to 32 independent zones, with several zones specific for individual seating booths where patrons can control the volume. Using a touchscreen, staff can quickly and easily adjust every light and speaker to produce the right atmosphere from a selection of presets.
At the Sofitel Paris Baltimore, a 19th-century townhouse hotel located near the Eiffel Tower, a recent renovation proved that large digital displays can become a cornerstone design feature that is both inviting and exciting for guests, even in historic settings. The newly-installed 100-square-foot interactive "Welcome Wall" in the entrance hallway stretches nearly from the ceiling to the floor, providing a touchscreen experience where guests can explore an interactive map of Paris, make memories with an integrated 'photo booth' and interact with playful artwork that responds to touch.
Marriott's Sinclair Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, is giving guests a new way to control their rooms and use the hotel's services ?interactive smart mirrors that double as high-definition, touchscreen displays for adjusting lights and entertainment. As a digital concierge, the mirrors can also provide digital check out, access to local information, room service ordering, live TV, and more. Interactive smart mirrors range from tablet-sized to TV-sized, and are even replacing TVs. New models with voice control capability allow guests to interact with their hotel room the same way they do with their home technology. Hotels are using this tech to increase revenue, with early adopters reporting 20-35 percent higher room service requests.
The TAO brand is one of the country's most profitable fine-dining chains, and advanced visual technologies at its new Chicago location show why it is such a popular restaurant and nightclub. Using projection mapping, a relatively new form of projection that can be applied to any surface or object, TAO Chicago turned multiple permanent design elements into digital canvases, including a 20-foot-tall mural and a 20-foot-tall statue. Both surfaces can display a variety of creative visuals for different atmospheres and events. Using presets or looped content, the result is an interior that can be altered at the touch of a button and refreshed throughout the restaurant's lifespan.
Inamo, a chain of Pan-Asian restaurants in London, has completely reimagined how customers order and spend time at their tables. Across its three locations, the restaurant uses ceiling-mounted projectors, touch-sensitive tables, and tablets to allow for ordering, live camera feeds of the chef, digital games and drawing programs, and the ability to display personal digital photos, all right on the table. According to management, this has made it a top spot for first dates because the technology all but eliminates awkward silences. The tables display information about the current song playing in the restaurant, and the owners can even add jukebox functionality to the interface, demonstrating how the technology can evolve to offer new experiences.
The breadth of modern AV technologies that can benefit hospitality brands is virtually limitless. Through the thoughtful integration of large touchscreen displays, advanced projection mapping and high-quality hidden audio systems, any hospitality location can create attractive areas that present new aesthetics and experiences. As brands increasingly demand technologies to better connect with guests, interior designers will be expected to develop creative and nuanced ways to augment existing aesthetics and develop entirely new spaces that feature audiovisual technology as a core design element.


I have tried quite a few Banana Bread recipes, and generally they always turn out pretty well. I had a favourite recipe that I've been using for a few years, but yesterday I thought I would try out something new. Clearly, I have been missing out!! This new recipe was WAY better than the one I've been using for awhile.
The recipe is from here, and I made a couple changes. I added some cinnamon and vanilla to the batter, and then topped the loaf with a brown sugar/cinnamon dusting. Between the three of us it will be gone by lunch, and I made it less than 24 hours ago. Yum!
