Reel "Sultan" Salman Khan Fans VS Real Life Sultan "Yogeshwar Dutt" !
When Yogeshwar Dutt lost to Mongolian wrestler Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran in the qualification round of the Men's Freestyle 65kg, India's last hope to win another medal was badly injured. But, it was not enough angry Salman Khan fans started trolling and taunting Dutt, saying that his loss was his "karma" for criticising Salman Khan. When Salman Khan was appointed as the Goodwill ambassador, Yogeshwar was also against this decision along with Milkha Singh.
Ohh #YogeshwarDutt lost? Aww when you have EGO and I'm the king attitude this is what you GET! One who can't respect brand ambassador.
I'm so pissed by #YogeshwarDutt wasn't even prepared for this !? Din bhar twitter pe SALMAN SALMAN karega ab medal kaun tera baap layega?
Tell Salman Khan, if you have guts, when #YogeshwarDutt comes back, play one min wrestling with him, we will see who is real hero.
No comments have been given by Salman or Yogeshwar yet, about these critics ! Maybe both of them do not want to create another controversy.

Der Flaschenkürbis (Lagenaria siceraria) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Kürbisgewächse. Er gehört zu den ältesten Kulturpflanzen der Welt und wurde 2002 zum Gemüse des Jahres gewählt.

Beschreibung
Der Flaschenkürbis ist eine einjährige Kletterpflanze. Die Sprosse werden über 10 Meter lang. Die Sprossachse ist kantig. Die Ranken sind zweiteilig. Die Blätter sind groß, herzförmig und auf beiden Seiten dicht behaart. Ihr Geruch wird als unangenehm bezeichnet. An der Übergangsstelle vom Stiel in die Blattspreite sitzen zwei Sekretdrüsen.

Der Flaschenkürbis ist eine einhäusig getrenntgeschlechtige Art (monözisch). Die kultivierten Sorten haben große, weiße einzeln stehende Blüten mit langen Blütenstielen. Die Blüten öffnen sich während der Nacht und werden wahrscheinlich durch Motten bestäubt, möglicherweise auch durch Gurkenkäfer (Diabrotica, Acalymma) und andere Insekten.

Früchte
Die Früchte besitzen eine große Vielfalt an Formen und Größe: die Form reicht von breit, kugelig, birnförmig, keulenförmig, kellenförmig bis zylindrisch. Die kleinsten Sorten haben einen Durchmesser von fünf Zentimetern, die größten können drei Meter lang werden. Die Farbe reicht von hellgrün mit weißen Sprenkeln bis zu weiß, wobei die Rinde im Alter hellbraun wird. Junge Früchte sind behaart, zur Reife werden sie kahl. Die Rinde ist sehr dicht und verholzt, sie ist sehr haltbar und wasserdicht. Das Fruchtfleisch ist in unreifen Früchten weiß und wässrig, zur Reife papieren. Die Samen sind groß, braun, korkig und von eigentümlicher, gefurchter Gestalt.

Chromosomenzahl
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 22.

Inhaltsstoffe
Die Zusammensetzung des essbaren Anteils der Frucht ist durchschnittlich: 96,1 % Wasser, 0,6 % Fasern, 0,2 % Protein, 0,1 % Fett, 2,5 % Kohlenhydrate, 0,5 % Mineralstoffe.

Verbreitung
Das Ursprungsgebiet der Art wird in Afrika vermutet, wo auch die anderen Arten der Gattung Lagenaria vorkommen. Speziell wird Simbabwe als Heimat genannt. Der Flaschenkürbis ist pantropisch verbreitet. Dazu haben wahrscheinlich seine Früchte beigetragen, die ein Jahr lang in Salzwasser schwimmen können, ohne dass die Samen an Keimfähigkeit einbüßen.

Systematik
Innerhalb der Art werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden:
 Lagenaria siceraria subsp. siceraria umfasst die afrikanischen und amerikanischen Sorten und Landrassen.
 Lagenaria siceraria subsp. asiatica  umfasst die asiatischen Formen.

Geschichte

Der Flaschenkürbis ist mehrfach unabhängig voneinander domestiziert worden. In Amerika wurde er bereits 7000 v. Chr. genutzt, die ältesten Funde stammen aus Mittelamerika. Nach einer ersten Studie zur aDNA im Jahre 2005 wurde die Herkunft amerikanischer Exemplare durch Einfuhr aus Asien als sehr wahrscheinlich bezeichnet. Dem stand entgegen, dass es auf dem angenommenen Landweg über die spätglaziale Beringlandbrücke keinerlei archäologische Hinweise entlang der Einwanderungsroute gab.

Im Jahre 2014 kam eine erweiterte Studie zu dem Schluss, dass die Untersuchung der DNA auf die Herkunft amerikanischer Exemplare aus Afrika weist. Die transatlantische Drift von Afrika nach Mittel- und Südamerika wurde mit mindestens neun Monaten veranschlagt, jedoch infolge der Meeresströmungen als plausibel beschrieben. Die Keimfähigkeit bleibt dabei bis zu einem Jahr lang erhalten, so dass von einer natürlichen Verbreitung der aus Afrika angeschwemmten Flaschenkürbisse in küstennahen Regionen Mittel- und Südamerikas ausgegangen wird.

Folgende Fundstellen weisen mittels Radiokohlenstoffdatierung ermittelte Alter für früheste Flaschenkürbisse auf:
 Guila Naquitz (Mexico), 10,000–9000 Before Present (BP), entspricht 7973-6808 cal Before Christ (BC)
 Awatsu-kotei (Japan), 9600 BP
 Quebrada Jaguay (Peru), 8400 BP
 Windover Bog (Florida, US), 8100 BP
 Coxcatlan Cave (Mexico), 7200 BP (5248-5200 cal BC)
 Paloma (Peru), 6500 BP
 Torihama (Japan), 6000 BP
 Shimo-yakebe (Japan), 5300 cal BP
 Sannai-Maruyama (Japan), associated date 2500 BC
 Te Niu (Easter Island), Pollen, AD 1450

In Ägypten wurde er spätestens 2500 v. Chr. genutzt. Von Afrika aus kam der Flaschenkürbis auch ins europäische Mittelmeergebiet.

Diokles von Karystos (4. Jh. v. Chr.) schreibt, dass die besten Flaschenkürbisse in der Umgebung von Magnesia (Landschaft im Osten Thessaliens) wüchsen, überdies sei er "rund und von riesigem Ausmaß, süß und gut bekömmlich" (Athen. II 59a). Ansonsten hatten sich im griechischsprachigen Raum regionale Sonderbezeichnungen herausgebildet: Euthydemos (2. Jh. v. Chr.), Arzt und Schriftsteller, spricht in seinem Buch "Über Gemüsepflanzen" über den "indischen Flaschenkürbis", weil sein Same aus Indien stamme (Athen. II 58f). Der Flaschenkürbis wurde von den Römern cucurbita genannt, ein Name, der später auf die Gattung der Kürbisse überging. Plinius der Ältere nennt vor allem die Nutzung als Gefäß. Im Mittelalter wurde er in weiten Teilen Europas als Gemüse gezogen, wurde jedoch später von den Kürbissen verdrängt.

Anbau
Der Flaschenkürbis wird vorwiegend in sonnigen, halbtrockenen Tieflagen angebaut, kann aber auch in den feuchten Tropen auf gut entwässernden Böden gezogen werden. Sorten mit langen, dünnen Früchten werden auf Spalieren gezogen, nicht jedoch solche mit schweren Früchten. In Trockenperioden muss bewässert werden.

Junge Früchte können in bestimmte Formen gezogen werden, auch Knoten sind möglich. Unreife Früchte werden 60 bis 90 Tage nach der Aussaat geerntet. Sollen die Früchte ausreifen, bleiben sie mindestens einen Monat länger an der Pflanze. Durchschnittliche Erträge liegen bei rund 25 Tonnen pro Hektar.

Krankheiten und Schädlinge sind meist wenig bedeutend. Viren und Echter Mehltau können eine Rolle spielen, Anthraknose ist besonders in Indien von Bedeutung.

In Österreich wird bzw. wurde er in den Weinbaugebieten angebaut, wo die getrockneten reifen Früchte als Weinheber benutzt wurden.

Nutzung

Die unreifen Früchte werden vielfach gekocht als Sommergemüse verwendet, beispielsweise in Indien, Italien und China. Sie werden auch in Currys verwendet. In Japan wird das Fruchtfleisch von Lagenaria siceraria var. hispida (, yūgao) in Streifen geschnitten, getrocknet und als essbare Hülle, Kanpyō genannt, in Gerichten wie Nimono oder Aemono und mariniert in Dashi, Zucker und Mirin für Sushi verwendet. Sprossspitzen werden etwa in China und Italien verwendet. Die Samen werden gemahlen zu einer Art vegetabilem Topfen (Quark) verarbeitet.

Die reifen Früchte wurden und werden als Gefäße zum Aufbewahren von Nahrung verwendet (Kalebasse). Da sie wasserdicht sind, werden auch Flüssigkeiten darin aufbewahrt. In Kenia werden sie von den Massai als Melkeimer verwendet. In China wurden früher kleine Flaschenkürbisse als "Terrarien" für Grillen genutzt, weiter verbreitet war die Nutzung als Vogelhaus. In Neuguinea, Südamerika und Afrika wurden Flaschenkürbisse als Penisfutterale verwendet. In mehreren Gebieten unabhängig entstand die Tradition, Flaschenkürbisse mit Schnitzereien zu verzieren. Die Tradition der Inka wird heute noch in Peru (als Mate burilado) fortgeführt: die Kürbisoberfläche wird mit glühenden Holzstäben unterschiedlich stark gebräunt. Helle Töne werden durch Ausschnitzen erreicht.

Der Flaschenkürbis wird verbreitet auch zum Bau von Musikinstrumenten genutzt. Dazu gehören Saiteninstrumente wie Kora, Sitar, Berimbau und Gefäßrasseln wie Maracas und Shékere, häufig auch Mundorgeln (etwa die Hulusi). In West-Ungarn wurde das verschwundene Doppelrohrblattinstrument Töröksíp von dudelsackartigem Klang unter dem Namen regössíp teilweise aus dem Flaschenkürbis gebaut.

Der Flaschenkürbis hatte lange eine wichtige Bedeutung in der Kräutermedizin, besonders in Asien. Die reifen Früchte werden als Diuretikum, Emetikum und Antipyretikum verwendet. Blätter, Samen und Blüten wurden in den ganzen Tropen zu verschiedensten Heilzwecken eingesetzt. Guha und Sen nennen darüber hinaus folgende Anwendungsgebiete: Verbrennungen, Gelbsucht und als Abführmittel.

Die gelegentlich anzutreffende Meinung, dass der Flaschenkürbis (Lagenaria siceraria) empfängnisverhütend sei, trifft nicht zu. Die Meinung beruht auf einer Verwechslung mit der verwandten Art Lagenaria breviflora. Für letztere wurde in wissenschaftlichen Studien nachgewiesen, dass sie die Einnistung der befruchteten Eizelle hemmt.

In der Türkei wird der Flaschenkürbis zur dekorativen Lampenherstellung kabak lamba genutzt.

Trivialnamen
Für den Flaschenkürbis bestehen bzw. bestanden neben Kürbis (von mittelhochdeutsch kürbiz) auch die weiteren deutschsprachigen Trivialnamen Herkuleskeule, Hiewerkerbes (Siebenbürgen), Jonaskürbis, Keulenkürbis, Trompetenkürbis und Zähkerbes (Siebenbürgen). Siehe auch Kürbisse#Der Kürbis in deutschsprachigen Trivialnamen.

China threatens, India corrects its 'mistake' on LAC
India-China Border Standoff: The neighboring country has once again spoken in a threatening tone amid tensions over LAC between India and China. China has said that it is India's responsibility to reduce the tension on LAC. He must correct his 'wrong'. It is now his responsibility to remove the forces from the LAC. Also Read – India listens to OIC, Turkey and Pakistan commenting on Kashmir
Along with this, he also claimed that he is 'honoring' the agreements made with India and is committed to peace and stability in the border region. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that India has violated the agreement. He wrongly crossed the LAC and acted on provocation. India has tried to change the status quo in the area from its side. Also Read – Government of India will continue to give a befitting reply to China, BSP is with government and army: Mayawati
When asked from Wenbin in a media briefing, on the statement made by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in Parliament on Tuesday and why China was not withdrawing its troops from the deadlocked points of East Ladakh, he said this. Also Read – Government can talk in closed room with opposition about LAC
He said, "For the Chinese side, we are honoring the agreement between China and India. We are committed to peace and stability in the border areas. We are also committed to our sovereignty and territorial integrity. "
Singh had told the Lok Sabha that in military and diplomatic negotiations with China, India has laid down three key principles – "Both sides should strictly respect and abide by the Line of Actual Control, any side attempting to change the status quo unilaterally". Should not be done and all the agreements and agreements made between the two sides should be fully adhered to. "
In the Foreign Ministry briefing, Wang reiterated the claim that China cannot be blamed for the current situation. He said that China is ready to work towards maintaining dialogue and consultation with India through diplomatic and military means for joint peace in the border areas.
He hoped that given the larger picture of Sino-India relations, India would put the border issue in a proper position and would work closely with China in compliance with the consensus reached in talks between Foreign Minister Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Moscow. .

Recently, Lowe's announced they will be closing some underperforming Lowe's and RONA stores throughout North America; however, the two local stores will remain as leaders within the RONA group and will continue in full force.
The Barrydowne Road RONA outlet in Sudbury is among the stores set to close after Lowe's head office in the Unite d States announced 31 Canadian store closures, including nine in Ontario by February 1, 2019.


Our philosophy is to promote the utmost social development of each child along with their physical development, intellectual development, and emotional maturity. It is important to us to take the child gently through the all-important stages of self-understanding, self–mystery, and self-growth—never forgetting what it is to be a child. Our nursery school is run in an orderly fashion but does not stress conformity. Children are encouraged to develop their interests, but discipline is included to avoid random activity. Everyone is given an opportunity to express his or her feelings, to share and to learn.
Our nursery school is a place where a child should have hope, success, outlet, and joy. It is the spirit of love and acceptance, discipline and daring, question and answer. The purpose of our program is to foster the social, emotional and physical growth of your child. The goal of Cedarville Nursery school is to give children learning experiences meaningful to them at their level of development. Our program is based on the premise that children learn by doing. They are guided and directed by the teacher in both formal and informal learning situations. The program will promote an active, playful, environment for children to interact with each other and learn social skills. It will also expose the students to the skills needed for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten.
We provide classes for 3 year olds on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also have a Pre-K class for 4 and 5 year olds running on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All children must be the appropriate age by Sept. 1st of the present school year. All children must also be potty trained.
We have been offering a Lunch Bunch Program on Monday and Wednesday for our Pre-K classes and on Tuesday for our 3yr. old classes. Lunch Bunch is $7 per day.

Jazz Pianist Freddy Allen Starts New Facebook Live Series
Jonathan Turner October 16th, 2020 Rock Island, Positive News, Music, Moline, Events, Entertainment, East Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf, Arts & Entertainment News Share:
2020 has certainly been a life-altering, challenging year, but Freddy Allen is getting by with a little help from his friends.
The 50-year-old Davenport jazz pianist and singer has been a professional musician for 37 years, performing all over the globe. Spending
Allen performing at the Grape Life, 3402 Elmore Ave., Davenport.
most of his career in Chicago, Allen moved to Davenport three years ago to be close to family and become a part of the vibrant music scene in the Quad-Cities. He hopes to travel and tour with his music again as soon as the pandemic is over.
On Saturday at 7 p.m., Allen is launching a series of online concerts, "Freddy and Friends," where he and some of his favorite musical colleagues will perform from an empty venue, streamed live from Facebook, and all tips will be shared equally among the performers.
"Knowing the cold weather that's coming with fall and winter, we'll be very limited in indoor performances. Over the summer, I could play outdoors," Allen (who makes his living as a full-time musician) said this week.
"Also with the Covid numbers being so high in Iowa, we're scared. I am," he said. "I am very, very cautious. I wanted to create something, we could do this online, to help all of us, to perform and bring good live music to our listeners, and they could stay inside in the comfort of their homes. We could still make some extra money through virtual tips."
Allen will start the series from the historic Hauberg Estate in Rock Island, with drummer Josh Duffee and tenor saxophonist Neal Smith. There will be no in-person audience, and the two venues in the series are paid a nominal fee to open their doors during off-business hours. Allen last played a livestream jazz brunch at Hauberg in August.
Manny Lopez is a longtime jazz trumpeter, who plays diverse styles in the area.
The schedule for the rest of the series is:
Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. — The Grape Life, Davenport, with Freddy Allen (piano & vocals), Chris Castle (vocals) and Josh Duffee (drums).
Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. — The Hauberg Estate, with Freddy Allen (piano & vocals), Manny Lopez (trumpet) and Josh Duffee (drums).
Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. — The Grape Life, with Freddy Allen (piano & vocals), Chris Castle (vocals) and Josh Duffee (drums).
Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. — The Hauberg Estate, with Freddy Allen (piano & vocals), Neal Smith (tenor sax) and Josh Duffee (drums). Hoping to have some surprise guests to help make this a special holiday show.
The music of the 1920s, '30s and '40s has been a major part of Duffee's life for the past 20 years as he's lived out his dream of being a professional musician. A local favorite, he thrills audiences with a special flair and knowledge of traditional jazz, especially that of Bix Beiderbecke.
Smith is perhaps best known as a founding member, composer, arranger, and performer with the klez-punk quartet The Kabalas. He's now better known for playing live jazz while recording for film and television in his home studio.
Daughter of Q-C polka band leader Dick Castle, Chris Castle has been singing around the Q-C since the early '80s. In 1993, she became the featured female vocalist in the Top Five band, affording her the opportunity to perform with some of the Quad-Cities' finest musicians. Of late, Chris has been performing with Troy Rangel and Friends. She is a member of Quad City Singers, a vocal jazz ensemble, and you can also see her from time to time on stage.
Chris Castle is a veteran Quad-Cities singer.
Lopez has been playing trumpet in and around the Q-C area for over 50 years.
He plays all styles of music — classical to jazz – and performs in musical groups ranging from duos to big band.
For a number of months, Allen was working to earn money by doing Facebook livestreams from his home twice a week — Sunday brunch at 10:30 a.m. and Tuesday nights at 8, but he's scaled that back to every other week.
"Everybody's been very generous, I have truly been blessed," he said. "We're in the middle of a pandemic, so many people are out of work. There are people still working, they want to help, and have been generous."
"The weather has been nice, people are getting out more, people have been going out for dinner," Allen said of playing at some outdoor restaurants. "Sitting outside, it worked really well for me in the height of Covid. With the cool weather, I think we're going to get back to that a little more, people stuck inside, as we get into fall weather."
He and Duffee and Smith were formerly regular performers for the Hotel Blackhawk's Sunday jazz brunch in the lobby, until things were shut down in March.
Josh Duffee is a jazz drummer, teacher and historian.
Allen and Duffee returned to play one in June, but they stopped after that because of the crowds in the lobby.
"I wasn't 100 percent comfortable doing it anyway, in the lobby people were coming in and out, people weren't wearing masks," Allen said, noting Smith has "been very careful, very selective about indoor playing."
He and Smith played at an outdoor wedding in July, but said he's had six other weddings canceled this year.
"The Grape Life is the only place I play indoors in the Quad-Cities," Allen said. "I walk in with a mask, take it off when I perform. Some people do wear one and some don't. I do what I'm comfortable with. I have not been out to eat."
"At the Grape Life, people are spaced out, and I'm far away enough from them," he said. "They're very good about keeping people from the stage without wearing masks, to approach with a mask."
Allen and Smith will perform a regular date Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. at the Grape Life. Keeping the integrity of the music and genres, they will bring to new life to the works of Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and many more.
Neal Smith first made his name as Nervous Neal in the klezmer-punk band The Kabalas.
As musicians have really been struggling during the pandemic, so have venues like Hauberg and Grape Life.
"It's truly been affected. With Hauberg, they host a lot of events, with weddings, receptions, and big events, and so many have been canceled," Allen said. "They're struggling to keep their doors open and the lights on. The Grape Life has been affected, they have cut back on their music. People are just not going out like they used to."
He's arranged sponsors for each of the Facebook Live series, where a donation of $125 will give each sponsor two special-request songs performed on their night of sponsorship, and numerous mentions during the performance.
This Saturday, the guys will do the music they love, from the '20s to the '50s, including lots of standards, traditional jazz, and music from the Great American Songbook. The video for each in the series will be left up on Facebook for 48 hours after the livestream, and any remaining tips will be split evenly, Allen said.
The first performance is being sponsored by Lito Gatdula and Chip McCauslin (Chicago friends of Allen), who are promoting their rental condo in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. "This fantastic two-bedroom condo has all the amenities and comfort for a luxurious vacation in the sun," Allen said.
You can check it out at https://www.facebook.com/PuertoVallartaMexicoCondoRental/.
Freddy and Friends will present five online concerts through December.
Allen also is performing at a charity event Nov. 7 at the Redstone Room in Davenport, for the DeLaCerda House in Rock Island.
"This is their big gala," he said. "They're building us a plexiglass cage to perform in. It will be a very small crowd, ticketed audience." He'll perform with Duffee, Smith and Castle.
The mission of DeLaCerda House, Inc. is to provide housing, advocacy services and progressive case management for persons with HIV/AIDS.
It's named for Jim DeLaCerda, a Muscatine native and nurse practitioner, who worked with AIDS patients at Cook County Hospital from 1984 to 1990 and was the first coordinator of the AIDS unit when it opened there in 1989. In 1990, he became nurse manager of the AIDS unit of Davies Medical Center in San Francisco.
Freddy Allen is a Chicago native, and jazz pianist who's performed around the world.
DeLaCerda moved to Rock Island in early 1993, to be close to his family and friends as he was dying from AIDS. He died in May of 1993 at the age of 46. His colleagues remembered him "as real fighter, especially for other people's rights. He wanted society to see AIDS and the people with it in a more logical and rational way."
The last performance of the year for "Freddy and Friends" will feature multiple generous sponsors, who donated $600 for performers. Allen hopes to have all five performers at Hauberg, socially distant.
"We'll do kind of a holiday spectacular," he said. "Right before the holidays, it will be much needed by everybody. Everybody been so generous, so kind. We all need music, we need art, we need laughter, just to get through this."
Allen may continue the series in January, depending on how they go. For the series, you can tune in on the artists' personal Facebook pages, and virtual tips and gifts can be given at:

CHEAP TRICK DVD
Quick Overview Budokan! Friday, April 29, 1978
Cheap Trick's first Japanese tour would inexorably transform their career. 1978's Cheap Trick At Budokan live album, bolstered by the hit singles "I Want You To Want Me" and "Ain't that A Shame," catapulted the Rockford, Illinois quartet to international superstardom. Capturing the audience hysteria and combustible musical muscle that earmarked Cheap Trick's historic Japanese concerts, Budokan! documents the band's complete April 28th, 1978 performance on DVD and CD, allowing fans to experience the group at the peak of their powers. While Cheap Trick At Budokan cherry picked selected highlights from multiple performances, the Budokan! CD, by contrast, delivers the complete 19-song set, from the sledge-hammer opener "Hello There" to the thrilling finish of "Clock Strikes Ten." The DVD presents historic footage of the 1978 Budokan concert, aired only once on Japanese TV - the only existing visual record of the band in concert during a defining moment in their career. Bonus features include a new interview with the band plus two songs taped during Cheap Trick's 30th Anniversary concert at Budokan in April 2008.


Traditional Christmas menus can be found at restaurants all over London this time of year. At Andina, a Peruvian restaurant in Shoreditch, chef Vito Reyes creates dishes that are inspired by the cuisine and produce of the Andes mountains and has created a festive menu that blends this cuisine and the festive flavours that guests expect this time of year.
The 'Andina Christmas' menu is a set menu of family style dishes that reflect the communal nature of the season and giving guests traditional Peruvian flavours that they may not have had before. For chef Reyes, the menu is an extension of his travels to Peru and some of the dishes that he had during his time there.
Below, chef Reyes talks about his festive menu and how he was able to balance his love of Peruvian food and culture and make it work for the Shoreditch neighbourhood.
How would you describe the menu and dining atmosphere of Andina?
Andina is a fresh and welcoming restaurant with a regularly changing menu and a relaxed vibe, Andina focuses on colourful, delicious dishes influenced by the Peruvian mountain region, designed to surprise and delight from our light and bright Shoreditch home.
What is the inspiration behind the Christmas menu?
Our inspiration is all about taking our guests on a journey. On our Christmas menu they can sample dishes like Ode To Corn, with its purple corn humita steamed dumpling, choclo corn succotash, sweet kale pesto and crushed cancha corn, that shows the diversity of corn in the Andean mountains. Guests will also get to try Salmón, our salmon schnitzel with olluco potato, relish of shallot, limo chilli, apple cider vinegar, roasted fennel, bitter lemon gelée. This Salmon dish is inspired by Trucha Frita, a popular Andean dish, showcasing the clash of cultures when the Germans settled in Peru after the war. We are always looking for ways to take inspiration from Peru's history, and from its different regions and cultures, in order to surprise our guests with food and flavours they may not have experienced before.
Why is it important to offer your guests a Christmas experience? Was this something asked for by your customers?
We have always celebrated Christmas, while staying true to our Peruvian heritage. The festive season is a fantastic time to showcase the best of what makes the Andes so rich and diverse, in respect of the wonderful ingredients on offer, as well as the crafts and textiles used to help decorate the area and the upbeat Peruvian music guaranteed to get everyone into the Christmas spirit. We are proud to bring that to life this year with our Andina Christmas – a celebration of food, drinks and music from the Andes.
How do you balance creating a festive atmosphere and menu with staying true to Peruvian influences?
Our Christmas menu takes its inspiration from traditional dishes that are enjoyed in the Peruvian Andes at this time of year, but with our own innovative take and nod to our London home. Dishes like Otongo are a great example. Our veggie version features Huancayo potato steamed bun, spicy guava sauce and queso fresco. We spotted this dish in Huancayo's main market and had to create a version ourselves, which was perfect to share just in time for Christmas.
What advice would you give other chefs on how to create a festive menu?
It's important to think about what your guests want, while still remaining true to your own values and roots. The Christmas Tree dessert which features on our Andina Christmas menu fuses festive flavours that we all know and love in the UK like cranberries, but with a distinct Peruvian twist in the form of a pear & pisco bavaroise. It's this innovation and balance of the familiar with exciting, new flavours that really excite customers and ensure a Christmas meal they will remember.
Does the team at Andina get involved with the festive fun?
Of course! It's impossible to be in Andina and not feel festive. We have a new display of original art from our recent cookbook and fantastic, festive music, meaning that Andina is the place to experience the Andes for all senses during this festive season. It's this multisensory festivity that makes our team get into the Christmas spirit – fantastic food, drinks and celebration for everyone in the restaurant!
We love talking with customers about their unique businesses. Simply fill out the below form and we will call you right back.

This is a collection of new essays opening introspective space for further exploration into constructions of "We the People…" during the mid-to-late nineteenth century. It does so by interrogating intersections of pro-enslavement and anti-enslavement expressions of cultural nationalism, investigating assorted expressions of partisanship within dramatic literature and live performance (broadly defined), and by probing effects of armed conflict on notions of "nation," "theatre," "performance," and other markers of communal identity. Enacting Nationhood is distinctive in that the essays collected here call into question many widely-held assumptions about the intricate theatrical past of the period under review. This said, the essays in this collection are certainly not to be taken as a comprehensive set of viewpoints. Rather, they are to be understood as an accompanying voice in a continuing discussion regarding an ever-shifting aesthetic contract between cultural nationalism and dramatic literature and live performance (broadly defined) from 1855–1899.

I bet you have always dreamed of traveling back in time. With the help from Google we are going to experience it. Google Maps was launched seven years ago. From its inception it has collected multitudes of photos and location data.
We, the users however, only see the most recent photo of a building or a location. The older photos remain Google warehouses collecting dust (hypothetically). In order to provide users access to all that data, Google has today launched a new feature in Google Maps.
With the new update, users can have all visual information about a location's past in Google Maps. You want to see how a garden looked 3 years ago, no problem you can view it. According to Google, you can see a landmark's growth from the ground up, like the Freedom Tower in New York City or the 2014 World Cup stadium in Fortaleza, Brazil. This new feature can also serve as a digital timeline of recent history, like the reconstruction after the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Onagawa, Japan. You can even experience different seasons and see what it would be like to cruise Italian Roadways in both summer and winter.
This new feature will only be available on the desktop Maps service at first, says Google. To access the new feature, you have to click the newly added clock icon on the Street View images. Once clicked, you can move a slider and select the different thumbnails of a location in a particular space in time. There is no information when this feature will become available on mobile devices. But it would not take much long as Google has already unified the Google Maps experience across desktop and mobile device. Therefore, for now you can only use it from the comfort of your home or office computer.
Well recently updated google street view on my mobile and I really enjoy its new features. And reversing the google street view seems cool too.


The best way to drive brand or campaign awareness for your next promotional event is to simply showcase your brand message repeatedly to your desired audience.
Research conducted by our in-house experts suggests that corporate merchandise may seem expensive but it relatively more cost effective than a television advertisement or billboard display. Also we have found that customers who possess a branded promotional item and more likely to be aware and patronize a brand. Spending on corporate gifts has certainly seen a spike in the passed couple of years, especially in the face of a more commercial Nigeria.
Formulate a plan and strategy: Consult with experts, whether by outsourcing from consultants or speaking with your company procurement manager. Find out what exactly your desired audience would like. Also consider if the gifts provided tally with the campaign your brand is trying to push.
Set strict but realistic time frames to churn out your campaign and gift ideas. With businesses that rush to provide mediocre gifts that do not flow with their brand or campaign message, it is difficult to pinpoint potential return on investment.
Always keep your objective in mind. Begin by building your plans around your objectives for the event, campaign, new product and corporate gift. If you simply want brand awareness sticking to a generic products such as branded ballpoint pens or mugs may not be a bad idea as they are items individuals use everyday.
Think outside the box and bring the wow factor! Think modern, think trendy, we are presently in the technology age; with nifty gadgets floating around. Give your desired audience a device they literally ogle at and cannot live without.
At Ellae Creative we strive to please our clients and always look to create original, creative and unforgettable marketing strategy.

What grabbed me about the contest, was the theme: Journey. I was instantly reminded of the Ribbon Drive game I played with Joe, Justin and Zach last year at Gen Con. Four kids just out of high school going on a road trip together to say goodbye. It was crazy powerful. We changed, our relationships changed, our beliefs changed. It was a central theme of the game (giving up your old beliefs) and it's the chief mechanical inspiration for my entry.
Setting: Desert Culture, small tribes nestled around any water source they can find, only there is never enough.
Situation: A right of passage, becoming an adult means leaving the protection of your clan to find the lost city. The last city, and legend speaks of its bounty. Go forth children, burn your skin in the unforgiving desert and learn what it means to be a man or woman.
There are three things I care about in a journey.
Hope - Beyond the mission (finding the lost city, becoming an adult, etc) what do you want to see or do on this journey? Will that hope be accomplished or squashed?
Fear - Outside what you know the world is full of danger and opportunity, what do you fear finding? Will you confront that fear or run from it?
Trust - What do you believe is true, believe so much it is a part of you? Your experience will change when you travel, new thoughts, new ideas, new culture. What change will this have on your beliefs?
Burning your skin - The desert is very real and it will be done with you regardless of whether or not you're ready for it. Very similar to the Fate track from Agon. Once your skin is burned (i.e. all the check boxes are filled) you will be an adult and your journey (complete or not) is over. Each box will be marked as a result of an encounter (raiders, running out of water, a sand storm, animal attack, child birth, a camel dies, heat exhaustion, etc).
The encounters should then dovetail back into reflection, to address the hope, fear and trust.
When your skin is burned, the city is found, it's contents a matter of the epilogue and a reflection of what your learned. Is the world a horrible place full of selfish people? Perhaps the city is ruined. Is the desert populated by people who have found away to exist despite all odds? Perhaps the city is humble and broken but provided enough sustenance for the journey home.
Looks interesting. Coming of age stories are always fun to play because of the range of options.
Yep, that's totally what I'm hoping for.

Valmet Automotive adding batteries to Uusikaupunki car plant
Valmet Automotive's car plant in Uusikaupunki will in future produce battery systems for EVs in much higher volume.
Olly Wehring
Valmet Automotive's car plant in Uusikaupunki will in future produce battery systems for EVs in much higher volume.
This is in addition to the Salo battery plant. Uusikaupunki will become the second plant for high volume battery system production as part of of a strategy to establish Valmet Automotive as a Tier 1 system supplier for battery systems and modules. The battery factory in Uusikaupunki is scheduled to go into operation in the second half of 2021.
Construction on the Salo battery plant should be completed in summer 2021.
Contract vehicle manufacturing will remain at Uusikaupunki with high voltage and high volume battery system production as an additional offer to OEMs.
Valmet Automotive was recently nominated as a Tier-1 system supplier for a battery programme by "a leading, new customer from the automotive industry". The contract includes the assembly of the battery pack as well as production of the cell modules.
"Combining car manufacturing and battery system production in one plant additional to our Salo plant nearby, we do not just offer a unique package to our customers, but also make an important contribution to protecting the environment," said CEO Olaf Bongwald.
Valmet Automotive has been doing small series battery system production for years in Uusikaupunki with a battery test centre on site as well.
The main focus of testing activities has so far been on battery systems for industrial applications.

Patriots Ridiculously Successful With 100-Yard Rushers
Sony Michel. (Al Bello/Getty Images)
BOSTON (WBZ-AM) -- The Patriots have a middle-of-the-pack rushing attack this season, but they're 50-and-1 since 2000 when one of their running back's hits the century mark on the ground, which is exactly what Sony Michel did in Sunday's win over the Jets.
The rookie first-rounder ran for a career-high 133 yards--most in a game for New England since Jonas Gray's 201 in 2014.
Michel also scored a touchdown, then credited the offensive line for his big day.
"They were doing a tremendous job," he said. "I mean, they always take pride, they love doing what they do. I just can't commend those guys too much. Believe it or not, they should be up here talking to you guys. Without them, there wouldn't be no running lines."
Michel said the secret to success on the ground or in general's not that complicated: Exert your will physically.
"That's just us being able to play Patriot football," he said. "We want to be physical. When you're physical, you can run the ball, you can throw the ball. It's almost like you control the line of scrimmage, and do what you want to do. Coach McDaniels got a great plan, we're excited to just go out there and execute it."
East-leading Pats will try to do so again Sunday at home against the Vikings, with Rex Burkhead back from Injured Reserve.
Minnesota's allowing the third-fewest total yards per game and ranks in the top-five defending both the pass and run.

Federal court rejects challenge from female athletes to Connecticut transgender sports policy
Four female athletes who sought to have a Connecticut policy that permits males who identify as female to compete in girls' athletic events have lost their case in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
A three-judge panel of the federal court affirmed a lower court decision Friday dismissing Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools, Inc., in which plaintiffs argued that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference's policy allowing transgender students to compete on girls' teams put biologically female athletes at a disadvantage and deprived them of honors and opportunities.
Plaintiffs had asked the court for an injunction to alter track records and erase the victories of two transgender athletes, biological males, who broke 17 girls' track meet records and took 15 women's state track championship titles.
The four track athletes, Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti and their mothers were represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). ADF attorneys argued that permitting transgender athletes to compete on girls teams results in "student who are born female" having materially fewer opportunities for victory, public recognition, athletic scholarships, and future employment than "students who are born male." They alleged this was a violation of Title IX rules against sex discrimination.
A district court previously dismissed the lawsuit on grounds that the request to block the transgender inclusion policy was moot, since the two trans athletes in question had already graduated, and also that the four female athletes lacked standing to demand records be altered.

"Like the district court, we are unpersuaded, with respect to the claim for an injunction to alter records, that Plaintiffs have established the injury in fact and redressability requirements for standing; both fail for reasons of speculation," the 2nd Circuit judges wrote.
"And because we conclude that the CIAC and its member schools did not have adequate notice that the Policy violates Title IX – indeed, they had notice to the contrary – Plaintiff's claims for damages must be dismissed," the judges added.

The 2nd Circuit opinion also relied on the Supreme Court's decision in Bostock v. Clayton, which ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act's prohibition of discrimination "on the basis of sex" includes discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. The court noted the language in Title IX is "identical" to that of Title VII. "Thus, it cannot be said that the Policy – which prohibits discrimination based on a student's transgender status by allowing all students to participate on gender specific teams consistent with their gender identity – 'falls within the scope of Title IX's proscriptions,'" the judges wrote.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented transgender athletes Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller and defended the CIAC policy in court, celebrated the appeals court decision.

"Today's ruling is a critical victory for fairness, equality, and inclusion," said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU's LGBTQ & HIV Project. "The court rejected the baseless zero-sum arguments presented by the opposition to this policy and ultimately found transgender girls have as much a right to play as cisgender girls under Title IX. This critical victory strikes at the heart of political attacks against transgender youth while helping ensure every young person has the right to play."
Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys said they were weighing their options after the ruling.
"The 2nd Circuit got it wrong, and we're evaluating all legal options, including appeal," ADF Senior Council Christiana Kiefer said in a statement. "Our clients—like all female athletes—deserve access to fair competition. Thankfully, a growing number of states are stepping up to protect women's athletics."
Eighteen Republican-controlled states have enacted "Fairness in Women's Sports" legislation that aims to prevent biological males from competing on girls and women's sports teams. Supporters say these laws are needed to protect female athletes from unfair competition while opponents say they are discriminatory and hateful towards transgender people.
Polls have shown that Americans are increasingly accepting of transgender people in society, but majorities disagree with permitting biological males to compete on girls' and women's sports teams. A Washington Post-University of Maryland survey released in June found that 58% of Americans said "transgender women and girls" should not "be allowed to compete in sports with other women and girls" at the collegiate level, and 55% said the same for high school sports.
A whopping 68% of respondents said that if transgender girls are allowed to compete against biological girls in youth sports, "transgender girls would have a competitive advantage over other girls."

Millions of happy couples exist in this world. If you're one of them, you're very lucky! Many of you had to go through thick and thin before you are finally in a happy, settled relationship. However, there are those who were lucky enough to have it simple and satisfying as well.
When you cook a pot of mushroom soup, there are a few key ingredients you need to have for it to taste good – water, mushrooms, cream, salt and pepper. Your relationship is just like that pot of soup – with the right ingredients and some time to boil, it'll come out lovely.
Do you know what every couple in a happy and long-term relationship have in common?
When you're committed to your relationship, anything is possible. Both parties are willing to sacrifice time, use money and energy to maintain the relationship. It shows that you both love each other enough to do so as well. No matter what happens, a couple will prioritise the relationship so it doesn't fall apart easily. You grow stronger together and in the later stage of the relationship, a tiny argument is nothing to both of you at all. Someone gives the other person a hug, apologises, and everything is fine once again.
It's commonly stressed even in television dramas, but it's true even in real life. Happy couples trust each other, especially when it comes to thoughts like "I think he's cheating with Brittany." No, thoughts like this don't easily surface just because he took a selfie with Brittany, his colleague of 5 years at the company annual dinner. Trust him or her to not do anything that betrays you and both of you are going to be really happy in the relationship.
It's most important that two people can connect on a personal level, such as shared beliefs, passions, views on life etc. Nonetheless, intimacy plays a prominent role in a relationship as well. Research has shown that 20-second hugs help to reduce stress and the release of oxytocins (while hugging) can be used to build trust and positive relationships. So, hug more!
When you have your other half, one of the most important roles is to be the supporting actor in their life! When your partner is sad and feeling demotivated, hug them, comfort them and tell them everything is going to be okay. People tend to look more positively at life when they know someone has got their back. Challenges no longer seem as difficult as compared to when they're without a partner.
When both sides are honest about their opinions, feelings and points of view, it helps to create a better goal in life and in the relationship. A relationship that lacks communication isn't a proper relationship. It's only normal for a couple to talk about whatever they are feeling, admitting to their flaws and mistakes, telling what they wish the other party would be more considerate about etc. So, no more hiding, just speak your mind in a respectful way to your partner.
For those who are on their way to a happy relationship, we wish you luck!
If all that's left to complete your life is a partner, Lunch Actually is here to fulfil your wishes. Call us now to talk to our friendly consultants and find out in detail how we can help you in searching for The Right One.

Hilary Duff has been accused of 'child abuse' by fans
Hilary Duff has come under fire for showing off her eight-month-old daughter's pierced ears on social media.
The former pop star shared a snap of her little girl Banks with her 12.5 million Instagram followers captioned: "She has enough hair for a pony! Oh and yes we pierced her ears."
It wasn't long before critics slammed Duff, accusing her of "child abuse" and "causing tremendous pain" to her young daughter.
"Just wondering how she gave you consent to pierce her ears? Unfollowing," one fan wrote.
"I can't believe someone who seemed [to have her head] so screwed on pierced her baby's ears, causing unnecessary pain that isn't for medical reasons done by a fully qualified medical professional is child abuse in my eyes," said another.
"How did it make you feel sitting there and watching her have pain inflicted on her unnecessarily?" one Instagram user questioned.
Other fans rushed to defend Duff, calling out her critics for "mum-shaming".
"This is a beautiful photo! Hillary isn't likely to take her daughter's earnings out just because a bunch of strangers tell her how horrible of a mum she is for doing it in the first place," one comment read.
"Got my bubs ears pierced at 3mths old, she didn't even wake from her sleep, not one single problem with them," said another.
"She's now older and has never had an issue. She can always take them out if she hates them. You all crazy giving someone crap over what they do to 'their' child."
It's not the first time the Lizzie McGuire star has experienced backlash for broadcasting her parenting choices. In 2016, she defended a photo of her kissing her son Luca on the lips at Disneyland, which some dubbed "unhealthy".
"For anyone commenting that a kiss on the lips with my four-year-old is 'inappropriate', go ahead and click a quick unfollow with your warped minds and judgment," she wrote in response.

No, Sonic Frontiers "isn't similar at all" to Breath of the Wild, says Sonic Team head
November 11, 2022 November 10, 2022 maxnyooscom
Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka has confirmed that Sonic Frontiers "isn't similar at all" to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Since the game's reveal, fans have made the comparison with Nintendo's adventure due to Sonic Frontiers' lush green open setting and that hero shot of the hedgehog looking out over a wide landscape.
But in an interview with Shacknews (spotted by TheGamer), Iizuka has clarified that Sonic Team's game is more linear and – for the millionth time – open zone, not open world.
"From the development [team's] perspective, they're going out and making an action game. So when they think about Breath of the Wild, they see Breath of the Wild definitely as a role-playing game, and it's not similar at all to the action game that they're making," said Iizuka.
"You know, yeah there is the same element of freedom that has been applied to Breath of the Wild as a role-playing game, and they're taking the linear high-speed action Sonic game and implementing freedom into there.
"But when we think about, 'is it an open world game? Is it similar to Breath of the Wild?', a lot of people on the team love the Zelda series, they love Breath of the Wild, they've played it, but to them, they don't really see a similarity between the games."
Earlier in the interview, Iizuka noted that what fans want is more freedom in games, which is what inspired the open zone format.
"This open zone format has never been done before," he said. "We're trying to look out there at other titles in the market place and we couldn't find anything that had that linear platform action gameplay but in an open environment."
He continued: "Especially for Sonic, it's a high speed platform action linear game taken to this open environment and turned into something new. We really feel we're out there making something new and interesting."
All that is despite the ability to level up Sonic's abilities, though this isn't required to beat the game.
"Sonic is an action character in an action game – we're not doing a role-playing game for Sonic Frontiers," explained Iizuka. "We did want people to be able to clear the game using only the base skills that you have at island one. If you have the technical skills, the technique, you can beat the game without levelling up or improving or adding anything to your skill tree."
These ability improvements were added both to make the game a little easier for players, but also to give them something to aim for as they explore the world.
Players also won't be required to beat all the bosses to complete the game's story, so instead Iizuka said they need to be fun in their own right.
As for Shadow, he's not in Sonic Frontiers but Iizuka would like to bring him into more games and content in future.
Sonic Frontiers will launch next week on 8th November across all consoles and PC. Make sure you check out the prologue comic before you start.

I am not intentionally trying to be inflammatory or attack anyone's views. I am more irritated with the choice of the title as it seems disingenuous.
My opinions are uniformed as I have not seen the films (only the trailers).
I am biased in that I assume based on the trailers that the films contain overblown, simplistic, inaccurate depictions of liberals and their views on religion. That's understandable, you need some conflict in the movie. However, I think it's a strawman.
My blather is mostly unoriginal. It's what I learned in an undergrad philosophy class and from Wikipedia. In other words, I haven't done much of my homework and am a pseudo-intellectual here at best.
Finally, I am not an atheist nor a devout Christian. Based on manic experiences I have feelings about the existence of God which I may share another time.
Compare the statements "Santa Claus doesn't exist" vs. "Santa Claus is dead". NOT to say God is like Santa Claus, only to highlight the very big difference between those statements. In one sense, if you say "God is dead", then you have implicitly said that you think God existed and was alive at one point. That is not what any atheist thinks; they obviously believe there is no God.
However, the history and meaning of God is dead is way more complicated than that if you read the Wikipedia article (I did so now I'm an expert :P). It was never about an actual God who exists or doesn't. Nietzsche and others are pointing out that God was supposed to be our internal highest value and provide the absolute grounding of morality. But we have lost all morality and have thus not realized we have "murdered" this source of internal values. With our hypocrisy we will thus sink into nihilism.
Are atheists nihilists? By no means is this necessarily the case. I think many atheists try to lead a moral life and vehemently argue that religion is not necessary for morality. Atheists and those who don't want prayer in school don't necessarily value nothing and think that "anything goes" in this world.
So not only does the title "God's not dead" misrepresent atheists, it also glosses over the complexity and history of the whole statement. It does sound defiant and proud though, which I think Christians want to think they are. I'm guessing they want to think of themselves as brave in the face of perceived persecution despite the fact that we live in a country with an overwhelming Christian population with no real challenges to faith.

Super simple outfit--here's what I wore to the Quiksilver Women flagship store opening in Malibu. The playsuit/romper I'm wearing by River Island (got for about $23 during the ASOS Memorial weekend sale last month--you might've seen me pin it a while ago. I finally gave in when I found the 20% off coupon code) is really comfortable, but the fabric is kind of thin. I think it's actually meant to be a beach cover-up, but whatever, it's pretty enough to wear outside, promise.
I'll be out here in Chicago for three weeks, so do let me know if you have any restaurant recommendations. I'd ask for shopping recommendations too, but I'm on my shopping ban for this month (hasn't been too bad really!).
