The union of Bessarabia with Romania was proclaimed on  by Sfatul Țării, the legislative body of the Moldavian Democratic Republic. This state had the same borders of the region of Bessarabia, which was annexed by the Russian Empire following the Treaty of Bucharest of 1812 and organized first as an Oblast (autonomous until 1828) and later as a Governorate. Under Russian rule, many of the native Tatars were expelled from parts of Bessarabia and replaced with Moldavians, Wallachians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Greeks, Russians, Lipovans, Cossacks, Gagauzes and other peoples, although colonization was not limited to formerly Tatar-inhabited lands. Russia also tried to integrate the region by imposing the Russian language in administration and restricting education in other languages.

The beginning of World War I caused an increase in national awareness among the Bessarabians, and, following the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917, Bessarabia proclaimed its own parliament, the Sfatul Țării, which declared the Moldavian Democratic Republic. Following a Romanian military intervention, with the Romanian Army firmly in control of the region, the Sfatul Țării voted for independence and proclaimed on  unification with the Kingdom of Romania. Although the unification was made under various conditions, all of these except the promise of an agrarian reform, which was carried out, were later abandoned by a minority of the Sfatul. Later, the Romanian administration swiftly dissolved the assembly and rejected the protests of the former deputies. In the peace talks after World War I, the European powers awarded Bessarabia to Romania, although the newly formed Russian SSR, supported by the United States, never recognized this.

However, the situation in Bessarabia would change after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union (USSR) and Nazi Germany, in which the latter expressed its disinterest in the region. This allowed the USSR to send an ultimatum to Romania, which was now diplomatically isolated with the outbreak of World War II, on 26 June 1940 in which it demanded Bessarabia and also Northern Bukovina. After Romania accepted it, the USSR occupied these territories, ending Romanian rule in the zone. Bessarabia was organized and split between the Ukrainian SSR and the new Moldavian SSR, which gained independence in 1991 as Moldova. Ever since, there has been a minority but growing movement to reunite the region with Romania, with supporters in Romania and Moldova commemorating the day of the union, 27 March, on the Day of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania.

Governorate of Bessarabia

The 1812 Treaty of Bucharest between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empires provided for Russian annexation of the eastern part of the territory of the Principality of Moldavia, as well as the Turkish-ruled regions of Khotyn and Budjak (Southern Bessarabia). At first, the Russians used the name "Oblast of Moldova and Bessarabia", allowing a large degree of autonomy, but in 1828 Russia suspended the self-administration and called it the Governorate of Bessarabia, or simply Bessarabia. While the northeastern part of Moldavia, called Bukovina, was similarly annexed by the Austrian Empire, the western part of Moldavia remained an autonomous principality, and in 1859, united with Wallachia to form the Kingdom of Romania. In 1856, the Treaty of Paris returned the south of Bessarabia to Moldavia, but in 1878, the Kingdom of Romania returned them to the Russian Empire as a result of the Treaty of Berlin.

At the time of annexation, Moldavian population predominated in Bessarabia. The colonization of the region in the 19th century led to a large increase in the Russian, Ukrainian, Lipovan, and Cossack population in the region; this together with a large influx of Bulgarian immigrants increased the Slavic population to more than a fifth of the total population by 1920. Other groups, such as Gagauz, Jews, and Germans also settled in the region during the Russian rule.

The Tsarist policy in Bessarabia was in part aimed at denationalization of the Moldavian element by forbidding after the 1860s education and Liturgy in Romanian. However, the effect was an extremely low literacy rate (in 1897, 18% for males and 4% for females) rather than denationalization. Some Romanian historians claimed that a strong sentiment of frustration and resentment to the Russian control had started to appear before the beginning of World War I.

Moldavian Democratic Republic

World War I brought a rise in political, cultural and national awareness in the population, as 300,000 Bessarabians enrolled in the Russian Army formed in 1917, within bigger units several "Moldavian Soldiers' Committees". Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Bessarabia elected its own parliament, Sfatul Țării (October–November 1917), which opened on , proclaimed the Moldavian Democratic Republic (), formed its government (), proclaimed independence from Russia ().

The Union Act

On , Sfatul Țării decided with 86 votes for, 3 against and 36 abstaining (mostly non-Romanians), for union with the Kingdom of Romania, conditional upon the fulfillment of agrarian reform, local autonomy, and respect for universal human rights. This was in spite of the fact that the national referendum necessary under the law had not taken place.

Fearing a radical land reform, the county councils of Bălți, Soroca and Orhei, dominated by large landowners, were the earliest to ask for unification with the Kingdom of Romania, deeming the royal government preferable to the Sfatul Țării, dominated by left-wing populists. On April 9 [O.S. March 27] 1918, Sfatul Țării voted in favour of the union, with the following conditions:

 Sfatul Țării would undertake an agrarian reform, which would be accepted by the Romanian Government.
 Bessarabia would remain autonomous, with its own diet, Sfatul Țării, elected democratically
 Sfatul Țării would vote for local budgets, control the councils of zemstvos and cities, and name the local administration
 Conscription would be done on a territorial basis
 Local laws and the form of administration could be changed only with the approval of local representatives
 The rights of minorities had to be respected
 Two Bessarabian representatives would be part of the Romanian government
 Bessarabia would send to the Romanian Parliament a number of representatives equal to the proportion of its population
 All elections must involve a direct, equal, secret, and universal vote
 Freedom of speech and of belief must be guaranteed in the constitution
 All individuals who had committed felonies for political reasons during the revolution would be amnestied.

Greater Romania

There were 86 votes for, 3 votes against and 36 deputies abstained. The first condition for agrarian reform was debated and approved in November 1918, and following this, Sfatul Țării voted a motion which removed all the other conditions, trusting that Romania would be a democratic country. The vote, which renounced Bessarabia's autonomy, has been judged illegitimate, since there was no quorum: only 44 of the 125 members took part in it (all voted "for").

The historian Bernard Newman, who traveled by bicycle through the whole of Greater Romania, claimed there is little doubt that the vote represented the prevailing wish in Bessarabia and that the events leading to the unification indicate there was no question of a "seizure", but a voluntary act on the part of its people.

The Romanian prime-minister at the time, Alexandru Marghiloman, was to admit however that the unification was decided in Romania, as the Moldavian leaders Daniel Ciugureanu and Ion Inculeț, aware of the widespread distrust of Romanian rule, feared an overt annexation would lead to a revolutionary situation.

In the autumn of 1919, general elections were held in Bessarabia to elect 90 deputies and 35 senators to the Romanian parliament – the Constituent Assembly. On 20 December 1919, the elected representatives ratified, along with their colleagues from the other historic provinces, the unification acts that had been approved by Sfatul Țării and the National Congresses in Transylvania and Bukovina.

During the peace talks between the Great Powers and Romania, on 1 February 1919, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George talked with Ion I. C. Brătianu and, after the withdrawal of the Romanian government's delegation, Lloyd George proposed that Romania's claims be analyzed by a territorial commission that would examine historical, ethnographic, geographic, strategic, but not political facts. The Territorial Commission on Romanian Affairs was formed, by which the representatives of the Big Four Powers presented their proposals and decided Romanian's territorial future. The commission was formed by Clive Day and Charles Seymour (USA), Sir Eyre Crowe and Alan Leeper (United Kingdom), André Tardieu and Guy Laroche (France), and Giacomo De Martino and Count Luigi Vannutelli-Rey (Italy). During the debates the only issue related to Romania on which the representatives agreed was that Bessarabia should belong to Romania. However, the United States refused to sign the Treaty on the grounds that Russia was not represented at the conference. The newly communist Russia did not recognize Romanian rule over Bessarabia, a stand that was tacitly accepted by many other countries such as the United States.

The union was recognized by the United Kingdom, France and Italy in the Treaty of Paris (1920). The treaty did not, however, come into force as Japan, one of the signatories, failed to ratify it. Soviet Russia was not represented as a party at the treaty conference. A mutual treaty between the Soviets and Romania was not signed due to the former's claims over Bessarabia. In the Kellogg-Briand Treaty of 1928 and the Treaty of London of July 1933, the Soviet Union and Romania subscribed to the principle of non-violent resolution of territorial disputes. Transnistria, at the time part of the Ukrainian SSR, itself part of the Soviet Union, was formed into the Moldavian ASSR (1924–1940) after the failure of the Tatarbunar uprising.

The land reform legislated by Sfatul Țării in 1918–1919 resulted in the redistribution of land among the rural population of the region, which constituted 80%. The actual process dragged out until the early 1930s, with the average allotted land falling short of the prescribed 6 hectares per eligible individual. The law was notable among Romanian controlled territories as it expropriated land not only from the large landowners, but also from the peasants who gained land by ad-hoc divisions of the agricultural lands during the Russian Revolution. The reform was further marred by corruption and preferential allotment to Romanian state functionaries and officers, as well as to the deputies who voted for union with Romania in 1918 (the latter were allotted 50 hectares each). Under pressure from the large landowners in the original territories of Romania, the land reform required compensations to the former owners, in contrast with the earlier declarations of the Sfatul Țării which proposed expropriation of property or even socialization. In a bid to gain legal recognition of the union, Romanian also concluded inter-governmental accords which offered preferential compensations to deposed owners of British, French and Italian citizenship. The literacy rate grew to over 40% by 1930; however, the region continued to lag educationally.

In 1924, Pan Halippa, a strong supporter of the Union in 1918, criticized the Romanian government for transforming Bessarabia into an "inferno", where the "Moldavian people suffers and bleeds more than under the Tsarist regime".

Soviet occupation

The status quo was changed 22 years later, when, as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (Article 4 of the Secret Annex to the Treaty), Nazi Germany agreed that it had no interest in Bessarabia, effectively yielding it to the Soviet Union. On June 26, 1940, after the Fall of France, Romania's ally, Romania received an ultimatum from the Soviet Union demanding the evacuation of the Romanian military and administration from Bessarabia and from the northern part of Bukovina, with an implied threat of invasion in the event of noncompliance. Under pressure from Moscow and Berlin, the Romanian administration and the army were forced to retreat from Bessarabia and from Northern Bukovina to avoid war. On June 28, 1940, these territories were occupied by the Soviet Union. During the retreat, the Romanian Army was attacked by the Soviet Army, which entered Bessarabia before the Romanian administration finished retreating. Some 48,888 Romanian soldiers and officers were unaccounted for after the retreat, including 53 casualties. In the case of several army divisions, more than half of the personnel had deserted, choosing to remain in Bessarabia.

The southern and northern parts, whose population was just over half ethnic minorities (Ukrainians, Bessarabian Bulgarians, Bessarabian Germans, and Lipovans), were transferred to the Ukrainian SSR as Izmail Oblast and as part of Chernivtsi Oblast. At the same time, the Moldavian ASSR, where ethnic Romanians were a plurality, was disbanded, and just under half of its territory was joined with the remaining territory of Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, coterminous with the present-day Moldova. Although Soviet troops were forced out in 1941 by the invasion of Axis forces, and Romania re-established its administration, the Soviet Union reconquered and reannexed the area in February–August 1944.

The official Soviet policy (1940–1941, 1944–1989) also stated that Romanian and Moldovan were two different languages and, to emphasize the distinction, Moldovan was written using a special Cyrillic alphabet (the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet) – unlike Romanian, in which Romanian Cyrillic alphabet was replaced by Romanian Latin alphabet in 1860s.

Legacy

Moldova became independent from the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, there has been a movement to unite again the region with Romania. Furthermore, the union of Bessarabia with Romania is now commemorated on the Day of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, celebrated every 27 March. In Romania, this holiday is official since 2017. It is not official in Moldova despite attempts at doing so, but some Moldovan unionists celebrate it anyway. The same situation occurs in Transnistria.

However, Russia and pro-Russian groups in Moldova and Ukraine claim that Romania occupied Bessarabia through a military intervention and that the region was "liberated" by the Soviet Union in 1940.

Make this adorable DIY monogram shirt – an open-ended way to decorate a plain t-shirt with an initial! This makes an awesome summer craft for teens and tweens and is perfect for all year round too! Disclosure: this post contains commissioned links and images.
Sometimes I need to try a craft a few times before I get it right – especially if it's a new type of craft! I'd never really done fabric painting for something that will be worn and washed before, and when I took this DIY monogram shirt out of the wash, half of the paint had disappeared….
I learned my lesson and I learned it hard: you've to to heat set your shirt before washing it!!
And so I tried again, and it worked.
You're in luck – you get the full tutorial, with all of my lessons outlined! Below, I shared the complete process to make this DIY monogram shirt right, so that it'll last wash after wash.
I did a letter M for my preschooler as per his request so you can credit him for coming up with the idea for this shirt. I used the beautiful fabric paints that Plaid sent me as part of their ambassador program, including their new Fantasy Glitter line. M loves it and is very grateful that I took the time to repaint it. He takes pride in the things his mamma makes for him.
Plaid recommends using a flat soft bristle brush and applying in multiple thin layers until you are satisfied with the glitter coverage. Lay it down instead of using brush strokes and don't overwork it.
To contrast the glitter, I also used the Fabric Creations Soft Fabric Ink that Plaid sent me. It totally becomes a part of the shirt and does NOT feel like a painted surface when finished. I know M would find something painted scratchy and wouldn't like it, so this was important to me! The bits of glitter don't bother him, and hey, it's glitter, so it's worth it!!
Watch the video below if you prefer to learn that way, or scroll down for the step-by-step tutorial!
1. Prewash and dry your t-shirt. Don't use dryer sheets or fabric softeners, and if you iron it before using it, don't use starch. Insert a piece of cardboard to separate the front and the back of your shirt.
2. Lay it out flat, and smooth the wrinkles. Outline your letter using Washi tape. Make it fat – your paint will only be going on the inside of the letter, and will be visually "skinnier" than the letter you create.
If you need a template to help you, just choose your favorite font and print one large letter on a sheet of paper. Cut it out to use it as a template.
3. If you'd like a geometric pattern like I did, add a few pieces of tape criss-crossing your letter. Don't do too much – or your letter won't be identifiable.
4. Make sure your tape is pressed down well and forming a strong seal. Start dabbing on paint using a foam brush.
Tip: if you're working with two textures like I did, make sure that no 2 sections are the same by connecting the colors at the corners.
5. Allow it to dry for 24 hours before pulling off your tape. Pull them off gently from the corners.
6. When you're done you're going to want to heat-set the letter before washing it! Method 1: Do this using an iron WITHOUT steam and pressing cloth for 15 seconds at a time, flip inside out, and heat set on the reverse as well. Method 2: throw into the dryer on the highest heat your fabric allows for half an hour.
Wait at least 72 hours before washing it. It's recommended to hand wash and air dry, but I don't have time for that so I throw it into the delicate cycle.

Amazing diversity hides beneath the surface of the ocean where tiny microbes work busily transforming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into oxygen, converting sunlight into energy, and breaking down nitrogen gas to serve as food. University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Victoria Coles and her team have developed a new tool that advances our understanding of how these microbes maintain this complex ocean chemistry.
The new model, published today in Science, simulates the impact of microbial activities on the chemistry in the North Atlantic and suggests that the evolution of a metabolic function rather than the evolution of an individual species shapes the ocean as we know it. It is the first model that actually predicts genes and transcription throughout the ocean.
"The model suggests that it's not the evolution of species but rather the evolution of microbial metabolisms that sets our present-day ocean chemistry," said Victoria Coles, associate professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's Horn Point Laboratory.
Microbes are like invisible machines that together perform the biochemical transformations that maintain the ocean's balance and function. The ocean may be inhabited by as many as 170,000 different microbial species, but we know next to nothing about the functions of most. Yet they all work together to make the ocean work the way we know it.
It's kind of like a SIM City build-your-own-world, but for microbes. Throw a wide diversity of characters into a pool together and the attributes you want them to have, and see what happens.
Coles said that the researchers ran this new model many times with different microbes, and each time they established the same basic patterns of biochemistry in the ocean. They discovered that gene function, influenced by local environmental conditions rather than the species of microbe, drives the biochemical reactions and processes in the model. In other words, the library of gene functions available to the community, rather than the distribution of functions among specific organisms, influences ocean biogeochemistry.
For instance, the process of nitrogen fixation, taking nitrogen gas that has been dissolved in the ocean and turning it into fertilizer, can be done by plants such as diatoms working together with cyanobacteria or by cyanobacteria alone, but also by bacteria that aren't plants and derive energy from organic compounds. Each of these are totally different organisms with different lineages that perform the same metabolic function.
This project was funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and ship time was provided by the National Science Foundation.
The study "Ocean biogeochemistry modeled with emergent trait-based genomics," was published in the December 1 issue of Science. Authors include Victoria Coles, Raleigh Hood, and Maureen Brooks from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's Horn Point Laboratory, and researchers from Florida State University, the University of Georgia, Oregon State University, and the University of South Florida.
Horn Point Laboratory Professor Patricia Glibert can usually be found traveling the globe from the Chesapeake to China, studying issues related to nutrients and harmful algal blooms.


TORONTO, June 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CellAegis Devices Inc. ("CellAegis" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical device company advancing innovative, non-invasive, safe and cost-effective solutions for acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, today announced completion of patient enrollment in a large-scale, investigator-sponsored trial ("ERIC-PPCI") to further assess the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning ("RIC") in reducing clinical events in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction ("STEMI") in patients receiving treatment in hospital catheterization labs or emergency rooms (the "ERIC-PPCI Hospital Trial"). This trial utilized CellAegis' autoRIC® device (http://cellaegis.com/products/) to deliver the RIC therapy.
The ERIC-PPCI Hospital Trial is designed to assess the benefit of RIC versus standard of care treatment in reducing cardiac death and hospitalization for heart failure at twelve months in STEMI patients. It is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial that has enrolled 2,800 STEMI patients across twenty-six National Health Service hospitals in the United Kingdom. It is funded by the British Heart Foundation, sponsored by University College London, and is being managed by the clinical trials unit at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. CellAegis currently expects patient follow-up in the ERIC-PPCI Hospital Trial to be completed in March 2019.
CellAegis anticipates that data from the ERIC-PPCI Hospital Trial will augment the existing positive dataset of evidence related to the therapeutic benefits of RIC in the treatment of STEMI patients: a recent meta-analysis of multiple randomized trials of RIC in STEMI patients has shown that the treatment significantly reduced infarct (dead tissue) size by 43% (Journal of the American Heart Association: McLeod et al 2017), as well as reduced heart failure. In a recent prospective trial conducted in 448 STEMI patients at Hospital de Braga in Portugal (Basic Research Cardiology: Gaspar et al 2018), RIC treatment was shown to reduce clinical outcomes heart failure/cardiac death by 62% at two years.
"Our team has had a very positive experience with autoRIC® for the delivery of RIC in the cath lab," said Derek Hausenloy, MD, PhD, FESC, FACC, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Hatter Cardiovascular Institute, University College London, and the principal investigator for ERIC-PPCI. "RIC is a quick and simple procedure to perform using CellAegis' fully automated autoRIC® device."
"This ERIC-PPCI Hospital Trial, when combined with the recently announced completed enrollment of an equally large Danish ambulance trial, known as CONDI 2, will result in an unprecedented 5,400 patients having been enrolled to assess the benefit of RIC in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and procedure related kidney damage using our autoRIC® device," said Rocky Ganske, Chief Executive Officer, CellAegis. "We are extremely excited at the completion of this enrollment milestone and look forward to the trial results from both of these studies in 2019."
"There are an estimated one million STEMI incidents annually in North America and Europe that are expected to benefit from our autoRIC® device," added Mr. Ganske. "In addition to the STEMI benefits we also expect to see large opportunities for RIC to improve outcomes for patients undergoing elective PCI (stent) and angiography procedures."
RIC is a noninvasive therapy that utilizes four cycles of limb occlusion and reperfusion to protect the heart and other tissue against ischemia-reperfusion injury. RIC is a promising adjunctive treatment to stenting in the prevention of ischemic-reperfusion injury and minimization of post-infarct heart failure in ST-elevation myocardial infarction ("STEMI") patients. Previous proof-of-concept clinical studies with RIC have demonstrated improvements in markers of injury, such as increased myocardial salvage and reduced infarct size as well as reduction of contrast-induced acute kidney injury, in various clinical scenarios such as heart attacks and elective cardiac procedures.
CellAegis Devices, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is the world leader in automated remote ischemic conditioning. The company has patented and developed the non-invasive autoRIC® device, which delivers RIC therapy to patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. The autoRIC® device has CE Mark and Health Canada approvals for treatment during heart attacks, cardiothoracic or surgical procedures, and is currently limited to investigational use in the United States. Investigator sponsored clinical research studies for chronic conditions such as heart failure and stroke are also underway. The autoRIC® device was developed from the clinical work of clinicians and researchers at Toronto's world-renowned Hospital for Sick Children.

Treasures of London – Diana Memorial Fountain
Located in Hyde Park (not far from the Lido), this memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales, is designed as a ring of water – rather like a stream bed – with two cascades tumbling down to meet in a pool at the bottom.
The fountain, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in July, 2004, also features three bridges which lead into the heart of the fountain – a symbol, apparently, of Diana's openness to people.
Designed by US architect Kathryn Gustafson, the fountain – which cost £3.6 million – is made of 545 pieces of Cornish granite, each of which was shaped using laser cutting technology before being pieced together using traditional skills.
Gustafson's design was selected after more than 10,000 plans were submitted to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain Committee in 2002. The architect has been reported as saying she wanted the design to reflect Diana's inclusive "personality".
The fountain was briefly closed to the public shortly after opening in 2004 because of safety concerns but reopened with new guidelines soon after.
The fountain is located on the route for the the Diana, Princess of Wales, Memorial Walk, which takes on four of the royal parks – Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park.

The Royal Parks – 1. Hyde Park
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the transfer of the care of the Royal Parks to the government (meaning the public was freely able to enjoy access for the first time). To celebrate, over the next weeks we'll be taking a look at the history of each of them. First up is the 142 hectare Hyde Park, perhaps the most famous of all eight Royal Parks.
Formerly owned by Westminster Abbey, King Henry VIII seized the land in 1536 for use as a private hunting ground. He had it enclosed with fences and the Westbourne Stream, which ran through the park – it now runs underground – dammed.
It remained the king and queen's private domain (Queen Elizabeth I is known to have reviewed troops there) until King James I appointed a ranger to look after the park and permitted limited access to certain members of the nobility in the early 17th century.
The park's landscaping remained largely unaltered until the accession of King Charles I – he created what is known as the 'ring' – a circular track where members of the royal court could drive their carriages. In 1637, he also opened the park to the public (less than 30 years later, in 1665, it proved a popular place for campers fleeing the Great Plague in London).
During the ensuring Civil War, the Parliamentarians created forts in the park to help defend the city against the Royalists – some evidence of their work still remains in the raised bank next to Park Lane.
After King William III and Queen Mary II moved their court to Kensington Palace (formerly Nottingham House) in the late 1600s, they had 300 oil lamps installed along what we know as "Rotten Row' – the first artificially lit road in the country – to enable them and their court to travel safely between the palace and Westminster.
The natural looking Serpentine – the great, 11.34 hectare, lake in the middle of Hyde Park (pictured) – was created in the 1730s on the orders of Queen Caroline, wife of King George II, as part of extensive work she had carried out there. It was Queen Caroline who also divided off what we now know as Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park, separating the two with a ha-ha (a ditch).
The next major changes occurred in the 1820s when King George IV employed architect and garden designer Decimus Burton to create the monumental park entrance at Hyde Park Corner – the screen still remains in its original position while Wellington Arch was moved from a parallel position to where it now stands (see our previous posts for more on that). Burton also designed a new railing fence and several lodges and gates for the park. A bridge across the Serpentine, meanwhile, was built at about the same time along with a new road, West Carriage Drive, formally separating Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
While the basic layout of the park has been largely unchanged since, there have been some additions – among them, the establishment in 1872 of Speaker's Corner as a place to speak your mind in the north-east corner of the park (near Marble Arch), the creation in 1930 of the Lido for bathing in warm weather, and, more recently, the building of the Diana, Princess of Wales' Memorial Fountain (unveiled in 2004), and the 7 July Memorial (unveiled in July 2009).
Other sculptures in the park include Isis (designed by Simon Gudgeon, located on the south side of the Serpentine), the Boy and Dolphin Fountain (designed by Alexander Munro, it stands in the Rose Garden), and a monumental statue of Achilles, a memorial to the Duke of Wellington designed by Richard Westmacott, near Park Lane. There are also memorials to the Holocaust, Queen Caroline, and the Cavalry as well as a Norwegian War Memorial and a mosaic marking the site of the Reformer's Tree (the tree was burnt down during the Reform League Riots of 1866).
The park has been integral part of any national celebrations for centuries – in 1814 a fireworks display there marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Great Exhibition – with the vast Crystal Palace – was held there in 1851 and in 1977 a Silver Jubilee Exhibition was held marking Queen Elizabeth II's 25 year reign. Cannons are fire there on June 2nd to mark the Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and on 10th June for the Duke of Edinburgh's birthday.
Facilities these days include rowing and pedal boats, tennis courts, deck chairs, a restaurant and cafe (the latter based in the Lido) and, of course, some Boris bikes. There is a heritage walk through the park which can be downloaded from the Royal Parks website.

Mulberry House is an Inquiry-Based Mandarin Immersion school, offering Playgroup, Preschool, Primary School and STEAM Enrichment Programs for children from 0-12 Yrs old.
Mulberry House was founded in 2015 on the idea that a modern Inquiry-based educational model can be combined with rigorous Mandarin immersion curriculum to create an innovative program raising fully fluent and literate Mandarin speaking children in Hong Kong. With our natural immersion and Inquiry-Based approach, children can build their understanding of the content and skills, and develop full fluency and literacy in Mandarin.
Multi-sensory program guided by the leading early childhood learning methodology Reggio Emilia, cultivating children a lifelong passion for learning. As children inquire about the world through their 5 senses, they develop understanding and their language abilities in Mandarin (read more…).
Preschool children learn through through 3 trans-disciplinary themes within the IB framework: who we are, where we are in place & time, how we organize ourselves? We focus on developing children's solid foundation in listening, comprehension and verbal communication about the world through Mandarin (read more…).
Primary school children learn through 3 trans-disciplinary themes within the IB framework: how we express ourselves, how the world works, and sharing the planet. We focus on developing children's strong literacy foundation, after children are close to fluent. Speaking series and literacy series are also encouraged based on student's assessment (read more…).
Our Mandarin immersion program addresses the fundamental needs of Hong Kong children, giving them the native environment and engaging Inquiry-Based content to actively learn and become fluent and literate Mandarin speakers.
Our Inquiry-Based education allows children to not only become fluent in Mandarin, but also build their understanding of the content and skills through Mandarin.
Our small class sizes allow teachers to personalize their teaching for each child, meanwhile providing the perfect balance for social interaction and engagement.
Highly qualified and experienced educators, with a wealth of early years teaching experiences (70% with Masters Degrees).
Our parents are supported with regular progress reports, parent seminars, immersion field trips and ample digital resources to reinforce learning.
Inquiry Based, Reggio Emilia Inspired Mandarin Immersion School for Children 0-8 Yrs.

Q: spring-boot-starter-jetty and Jetty modules - Maven magic We're using spring-boot-starter-jetty in our maven pom, which means we don't have any direct dependency on jetty hence no control on its version.
This all works good, but we now need to add a dependency onone of jetty's modules, which are using the same jetty version convention.
This is all great and dandy, but because we can't use spring-boot-starter-jetty as our root pom, we're declaring jetty's version again under the module's dependency declaration, something like this:
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
   <version>1.4.3-RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
   <artifactId>jetty-nosql</artifactId>
   <version>9.3.14.v20161028</version>
</dependency>

This is no fun PLUS dangerous as if we upgrade one of them, we have to remember to upgrade the latter to the same version.
I know we can add an exclude under the module's dependency but this feels like a hack plus still doesn't fully protect us from breaking changes.
Is there anyway to extract the jetty version from spring boot and reuse it for the module's dependency?
Thanks!!

A: Maven creates the version properties for it's dependencies in the effective POM. For jetty it's jetty.version
So your dependencies will become
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

It's worth pointing out that this is not required with the latest version of Spring Boot. I checked with the 1.5.4.RELEASE. Following is suficient.

Effective POM can be generated by using following command
mvn help:effective-pom

Or if you're using Spring Tool Suite or latest version of Eclipse then you can directly check it inside the bottom tab in the Maven POM Editor

Edit
Without spring-boot parent pom the same can be done using dependencyManagement

For Interracial Couples, an Emoji With Choices
Emojis, those cute, vivid images that liven up emails and texts, seem to come in all shapes, colors and sizes.
After all, there are more than 2,800 to choose from. Among the favorites: the smiley face, the thumbs up, the birthday cake.
But it turns out, there is more people want to say with emojis than what is currently available, including showing two people with different skin tones, together.
Since 2015, it has been possible to pick skin tones for many of the people emojis, such as the mermaid, firefighter and baby.
But it began to frustrate some users that they couldn't show two people of different races holding hands or families with different skin tones, says Jennifer Lee, co-founder of Emojination and vice chair of the Unicode Consortium's emoji subcommittee. They could only use the default yellow image.
WATCH: Tailoring the Emoji to Match the Couple
Frustration over lack of interracial couple emoji
"The interracial couple emoji was something we've have heard a lot of demand for in terms of people on Twitter," she said. "People have gotten used to pressing and seeing all these skin tones whether or not it's a thumbs up or it's a woman who is a mermaid or a baby. They would long press on the multiple families and long press on the couples and be like, 'Why is it only yellow?' Because they were trained to expect skin tones."
Turns out, the birth of a new emoji takes some work. Anyone can apply to the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit that is run by volunteers. They set the standards for text in all languages and oversees emojis.
"As our mission says, we want to make sure that every language makes it into the digital age," said Greg Welch, a board member of the Unicode Consortium.
When it comes to emojis, Unicode's goal is simple: To make sure that when a person sends a smiley face, no matter the age of the phone or the type of computer software, the receiver sees a smiley face. Unicode, which is working on bringing Rohingya and Mongolian to the Unicode standards, has overseen the tremendous growth in emojis since 2010.
Emoji — a new language
"If you think about a language like English or Russian or Chinese, it's evolved slowly over the course of centuries," Welch said. "If you look at emoji, in the last five years, it's exploded in use. It's exploded in its vocabulary. This is almost like watching a new proto language emerge right before our eyes."
With the help of Tinder, the dating site, Jennifer Lee pressed Unicode for an interracial emoji. There were technical complications as well as some tough choices, which of the many emojis that show love or families should be the first to be able to show different skin tones?
Unicode settled on two people holding hands after much discussion, Lee said.
"One of the reasons that that is the emoji of choice is that two people holding hands does not have to be a romantic kind of relationship," she said. "It can be two friends, it can be a couple, it can represent family members. We felt it was the most versatile of the different emoji."
The approved interracial couple emoji will allow users to pick one of five skin tones and the gender identity for each person in a couple who are holding hands.
Unicode gave the code for interracial couple to companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and others. They will come out with their own versions of the emoji, as well as 58 others, including a new menstruation emoji, a falafel emoji and a deaf emoji, later this year.

Eight years ago, when a new American president swept into office with high hopes for health care reform, there was one cohort of citizens that public health experts were particularly worried about: people between the ages of 50 and 64.
Anyway, this group—who numbered around 55 million back then (accounting for nearly one-fifth of the U.S. population), and who likely total more than 63 million today—tend to be fairly robust consumers of health care services, but are too young to be covered by Medicare. During the Great Recession that began at the end of 2007, when many of Gen-Strong suddenly found themselves out of work—and, in some cases, unemployed for a frighteningly long time—a compounding fear for many was the loss of health coverage on top of everything else.
This was the harsh, unforgiving truth that greeted a not-yet-gray-haired President Obama as he took his oath of office. And the writers of the Affordable Care Act were especially mindful of protecting this group in their health reform plan.
So, yesterday, I asked the question, "What problem with Obamacare does the new GOP plan solve?" Today, I'm asking, "What happens to Generation Strong under Trumpcare?
Vox and others reported on Tuesday that annual premiums for people ages 55 to 64 would jump by $5,269 if the Republican plan were put in place immediately, and would rise to $6,971 in 2020. For those with incomes below 250 percent of the federal poverty line, premiums would increase by $2,945 today and by $4,061 in 2020. It's also not clear from the rules, the way they're written now, that insurers can't raise premiums substantially more, or adjust copays and deductibles to put additional burden on consumers, or further restrict what they cover…or do all of the above.
First off, I'm hoping that the "based on their decision to forgo coverage" riff becomes a Twitter meme. And second, this line of potential law could be devastating to Gen-Strong, as many face longer periods out of work—or canceled employer coverage, forced-early retirement, COBRA expirations, or premiums that are simply too pricey to afford.
"More than one in four adults ages 50 to 64 spends at least 10 percent of their disposable income on health care," says AARP. And this share includes those who are already insured. The Trumpcare provisions are likely only to add to that burden.
To be sure, this age cohort has always been a squeezed generation—the ones who take care of elderly parents and help their kids with a home downpayment or a job transition or a new baby. But this is one additional squeeze I don't think Gen-Strong is going to take lightly.
That this group overwhelmingly voted Republican in the November election is beside the point. Honestly, ignore that fact. Forget I even mentioned it.


Fry the above mentioned ingredients and keep it aside. Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan or kadhai and temper mustard seeds.
Add chopped onions and curry leaves. Fry for 2 mins. Add veggies and ginger-garlic paste.
Saute a while. Add spinach puree and prepared paste. Mix well with the veggies. Add curd, turmeric powder, sugar and salt to taste.
Add 1/4 cup and cook it covered for 15 mins. Serve hot with roti or any other indian bread variety.

Effortless and effective recipe for homemade Chinese chilli oil, an essential condiment for Chinese cuisine. Great company for noodles, dumplings and salad.
Having many great recipes to share with you, it took me quite a long time to choose which one to be the first for my new-born blog. When Chinese chilli oil came to mind, I knew straightaway that this was the one.
Even though the love of Chinese cuisine is in my blood, I'm not a typical Chinese who has to consume Chinese food on a regular basis. Having been living outside China for years, I have faced many moments when Chinese ingredients were not easily accessible. But I always made sure to have two condiments in my kitchen cupboard. Guess what? Soy sauce is not on the list! For me my most important allies in the kitchen are Chinese black rice vinegar and homemade chilli oil. Like my dear mum, my taste buds favour hot and sour flavours.
My love of spicy food started when I first tasted street snacks back in China. Those wonderful down-to-earth delicacies from the North-west region of China have trained my palate to enjoy very spicy food from an early age.This opened the door to a more extensive gastronomic world. Perhaps you now understand why I include the word SPICE in the title of my blog.
As a huge fan of spicy food, I always encourage those who say "no-spicy-food-please" to train their palate. Once at a dinner party my Swiss friend Ricardo said he was very sensitive to spicy food. He complained that "it just burns your mouth. That's all!" I didn't argue, but still served him homemade dumplings with a small saucer of my favoured black rice vinegar and chilli oil. "Just try a little. You have nothing to lose," I suggested. Luckily, he did try. Not just a little. He asked for a top-up and later I gave him a jar of homemade chilli oil to take home.
There are many dishes which deserve the company of Chinese chilli oil: all types of noodles, savoury rice, meat or vegetable cold dishes, tofu, dumplings, pot stickers, steamed buns, scallion pancakes, etc. My childhood favourite was spreading chilli oil onto hot Mantou (馒头, plain steamed bun without filling), just like one's love for butter on toast I suppose.
Chinese chilli oil is available in shops. They come in different flavours and textures. Some are not too bad, but nothing can replace homemade one for its unique flavour, freshness and healthiness (no colouring, additives or preservatives). What's more, it is super simple to make. Once you've done the shopping, you just need 10 minutes to assemble everything and to cook it.
The only tricky thing is that the oil needs to be at the right temperature to bring out the best fragrance from the spices. It will be less flavoursome if the oil is not hot enough. Yet overheated oil will burn the chilli, leaving an unpleasant taste. I have my own way to control the temperature. Instead of directly pouring hot oil onto the chilli flakes, I transfer the very hot oil into an empty bowl, which reduces the oil's temperature immediately. Then I add half of the chilli flakes. I put in the other half when the temperature drops a little further. This is to achieve a redder colour for the finished look.
Another piece of advice: take your time to choose the right type of chilli flakes. Check the heat (hotness) level. Start from medium if you like. Mild ones are pointless in my opinion. Chilli from Sichuan province in China is generally great. I also use chilli flakes from Thai or Italian shops.
Effortless and effective recipe for homemade Chinese chilli oil, an essential condiment for Chinese cuisine. Great company for noodles, dumplings, cold appetizer, etc.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients in Group 1. Have another empty bowl ready. It has to be deep, heat proof and completely dry (see note 1). Place a sieve over it.
Pour the oil into a cold wok / pot, add all the other ingredients in Group 2. Cook over a low heat. Watch attentively. Turn off the heat immediately when the spring onion becomes lightly brown (You should see smoke at that moment as well).
Pour the hot oil into the empty bowl through the sieve. Discard spices.
Add half of the chilli mixture into the oil. You should see it bubbling intensively. Add the remaining when bubbling calms down. Stir well with a clean spoon.
Leave it cool uncovered. Wait for at least 12 hours before using to allow all the flavours to combine. Transfer to a container of your choice (see note 2 & 3).
1. Glass or porcelain bowls are good choices since they can cool down the oil more efficiently than metal ones.
2. Most of the cooked chilli flakes and sesame seeds tend to stay at the bottom of the container after a while. Use a clean spoon to stir it well before serving. You may use a sieve to filter the chilli flakes and sesame seeds if pure chilli oil is called for in certain recipes.
3. In an air-tight container, the lifespan of chilli oil is about 1 month in the kitchen cupboard and up to 6 months in the fridge.
4. I have a SIMPLE VERSION too. You may reduce the ingredient list to 4 essentials: chilli flakes, sesame seeds, ginger and oil. Try the complete version whenever you have a chance. It is truly worth the effort.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and witnessing the birth of my blog. I will continue sharing more scrumptious, interesting and inspiring recipes for you to explore.

Next Soy sauce (酱油): light or dark?
I LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG! Beautiful photos, excellent writing and good-looking food. So excited to follow your cooking adventures. Congratulations!
Hey Wei!! Love it already! Signed up for notifications so I won't miss any recipes:) bravo!!
Your recipe says to discard the chili mixture, but then it says to add it back to the oil… so I'm a little confused on the directions?
Hi Terry! Thanks for popping by and sorry to hear that you are a bit confused. Please note that in my recipe I wrote:"Discard everything caught in the sieve." That is to say "discard all the spices, spring onion, ginger and peanuts (from ingredient group 2) which are cooked in the oil. Then you add the chilli mixture (from ingredient group 1) to the flavoured hot oil. Hope my explanation is helpful to you. Good luck in your kitchen!
Yum! Yum! Yum! This is so delicious that I am putting it on everything.
P.S. Your blog it absolutely beautiful. You really put a lot of time and effort into it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Very happy to know you are enjoying chilli oil in various ways. I just had my dinner hand-torn noodles with LOTS of chilli oil. Have a nice day!
Hi Wei, I just make some Chinese Chili oil following this recipe. I waited until the oil cooked on low for about 10 minutes or more (the oil was half boiling). Well, I guess the oil wasn't hot enough. When I poured the red pepper flakes mix into the oil, there was no bubbling at all. The oil wasn't hot enough at all. Probably could have cooked the oil on medium/high, perhaps? Thanks!
Sorry to heard that it didn't work out for you. Yes, the oil wasn't hot enough. I recommend using low to medium heat (depending on the power of your cooker) to avoid burning the spices (ingredient group 2) too fast. To test if the oil is hot enough, you can drop a few chilli flakes to test. If they sizzle straightaway, then means it's ready. Good luck for the second time!
What kind of oil do you use for this?
You can use any cooking oil which has a high smoke point and a neutral flavour, such as canola oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, corn oil, etc. Definitely not olive oil or (toasted) sesame oil.
Hi, can I leave the spices in the oil?
You may leave the spices in the oil but make sure you take the ginger and spring onion out.
