Case 12: The Rainbow Warrior (PART I)
October 19, 2019 / True Crime New Zealand
AUCKLAND CITY, AUCKLAND. In April 1985, Fernando Pereira said goodbye to his children in the Netherlands, his departing words were, "Just take care of your mom, I'll do my trip and I'll be home soon".
With goodbyes said to his loved ones, Fernando travelled to Hawaii and reported for duty.
Fernando boarded the ship that would be his home for the next six months as he travelled around the globe – the Rainbow Warrior.

"One day, the Earth will get sick. The birds will fall from the sky, the seas will darkle and the dead fishes will be floating on the river. When this day arrives, the Native Indians will lose their spirits. But the will get them back to teach the white man to bow to the holy Earth. And then, all the races will be united under the rainbow icon to put an end to the destruction. It will be the era of the Rainbow Warriors." – North American Cree Prophecy
PROLOGUE: NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION
Ernest Rutherford was born on the 30th of August 1871 in Brightwater, a small town 20km southwest of Nelson. After studying at Nelson College; Ernest won a scholarship to study at Canterbury College.
After gaining a Master of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science. In 1895, Ernest received the 1851 Research Fellowship. A three-year research scholarship awarded to "young scientists or engineers of exceptional promise".
At 23 years old, Ernest chose to work at the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory in the United Kingdom. In 1908, Ernest was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his investigations into the disintegration of elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances.
In 1918, while bombarding nitrogen atoms with alpha particles, Ernest observed outgoing protons of energy larger than that of the incoming alpha particles. With this, Ernest Rutherford had become the first person to split the atom.
In the 1930s a nuclear arms race began, all the major players had their best scientists on the job; Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States and Nazi Germany.
In 1934, building upon the work of Ernest Rutherford; two French scientists observed that splitting an atom with an atomic nucleus created man-made radioactivity.
This led US scientists to their own discovery that uranium ore was (in essence) the largest atomic nucleus to split, for it would then continue to split over and over again – releasing a huge amount of nuclear energy. This could be harnessed for peaceful or destructive means.
On the 6th of August 1945, the United States B-29 bomber Enola Gay took flight, flown by Brigadier General Paul Tibbets, the plane, named after his mother. Enola Gay made the six hour flight to Japan, continuing on to Hiroshima – home to 350,000 people. Uranium Atom bomb; codenamed 'Little Boy' was dropped at 8.15am.

Little Boy missed its intended target of the Aioi Bridge. Ground zero became Shima Hospital – 16 kilotons of TNT were unleashed on the city. 146,000 people were killed by the explosion and the effects of the radiation in the months following.
12km2 of Hiroshima was destroyed from the blast. if you click the link in the show notes to take you to our website – we have highlighted 12km2 maps over Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch; for those curious how large that is in relation to your own cities.

NUCLEAR TESTING IN THE PACIFIC
In 1954, United States scientists were working on Operation Castle. They were stationed in Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands; 5,000km north of NZ – which at the time was an American colony.
On the 1st of March, the US test fired thermonuclear weapon Castle Bravo. The result was 15 megatons of TNT, at the time, the most powerful artificial explosion in history. 1,000 times more powerful than Little Boy, which had previously been dropped on Hiroshima.
Fig 5. Castle Bravo being tested in Bikini Atoll
Billiet Edmond, a school teacher from the nearby Rongelap, an atoll 150km downwind from the blast zone detailed the 1st of March 1954 in his diary, "It was between five and six [am] when the first flash came… from that overwhelming and most frightening event… As the lightning faded, a huge and fiery sun-like object rose up in the western part of the lagoon. It was the sun, for it was round, but it was much bigger than our sun. It was a sun for it was lighting the sky and giving of heat… yet its intensity was far greater and invincible, and it was much brighter, which left all of us aghast. As the terrible fireball completely rose above the western horizon, its upper portion erupted and a combination of blended particles spurted out and upward, burning. None of us could move, but everyone stared at the fireball without a word. In just one fraction of a second, the queer-looking fiery object became a giant mushroom and then another one and then another, and still another grew upon another.. The whole atmosphere turned bloody coloured – and the heat… the explosion! Louder than any 100 of the strongest Second World War bombs bursting together… the ever frightening sound accompanied by a tornado-powered wind sweeping through our land, twisting coconut trees, uprooting bushes, smashing windows, doors and overturning one house."
In 1963, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union all signed the 'Partial Test Ban Treaty' to abandon atmospheric nuclear testing, instead to detonate the weapons underground. France was not one of the signatories, believing it was in need of its own nuclear deterrent.
France chose two uninhabited atolls in French Polynesia as test sites for their nuclear initiative; Mururoa and Fangataufa, about 4500km northeast of NZ. Winiki Sage the president of the Economic, Social and Cultural Committee of French Polynesia told journalist David Robie in 1985, when he asked if the testing was safe; he was assured it was, "We didn't understand what was happening, a lot of Tahitians and Polynesians went to France for the war. And, when Mr de Gaulle (the French President from 1959 to 1969) came here and said 'we're going to do some tests,' no one could imagine it was going to be so bad for us… All the Tahitians were led to believe that it would be safe, I can tell you that in the house of my grandmother there was a nice picture of a big nuclear bomb test, and everybody was thinking it was something nice. We didn't really know that it was something bad for us."
French atmospheric testing continued into the 1970s. In March of 1973, NZ Prime Minister Norman Kirk wrote a strongly worded letter to the French Government; claiming the testing was a "violation of New Zealand's rights under international law".
In May 1973, NZ and Australian Governments took France to the International Court to cease nuclear testing in the Pacific. Radiation had been detected in both countries in the aftermath of the tests. France refused to follow the court's ruling to cease the tests.
During this time, NZ's sent the HMNZS Otago, an 85m Navy frigate, to Mururoa to protest French actions; with Rules of Engagement to, "fire upon French vessels in self-defence if the need arose."
The Minister for Immigrations and Mines Fraser Colman was selected to sail on the Otago. During a dockside press conference, Fraser said his mission was to "ensure that the eyes of the world are riveted on Mururoa".
The ongoing protesting and overall negative attention led to France taking their nuclear testing underground in 1974. The Evening Post saw this as a victory for the people of NZ, they wrote in an editorial at the time, "The full effect of the protest can only be speculated upon. But let there be no doubt that New Zealand's stand has captured worldwide attention and admiration. Perhaps those among us who were inclined to dismiss the New Zealand government's decision as a senseless and theatrical gimmick may now re-form their opinion."
NZ NUCLEAR FREE ZONE
In 1984, campaigning on an anti-nuclear policy; a Labour government was brought to power with David Lange at the helm. During the late 1970s to early 1980s, NZ had been dealing with the issue of US nuclear powered navy ship docking at NZ ports.
The previous National government had relaxed its anti-nuclear sentiment and allowed nuclear powered US ships to dock at NZ ports. This was unpopular with the public, in a 1984 poll; 30% of NZ agreed with allowing US warships to dock, while 58% disagreed.
In February 1984, Lange refused entry of US warship USS Buchanan to NZ ports. This action created a strain on US/NZ relations. As the US refused to disclose which ships contained nuclear material; Lange refused all US ships from docking in NZ.
In March of 1985, David Lange participated in a debate at the Oxford Union in England with US conservative political figure Jerry Falwell. It was here, David said perhaps the most famous line in NZ politics:

In 1985, protests around French underground nuclear testing continued with hope that France would cease their pursuit of weapons of mass destruction altogether. The French government refused, it saw its nuclear testing programme as essential for the republic's security. France over 30 years, tested 193 atmospheric and underground nuclear weapons.
PART I: WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW
Fig 6. Fernando Pereira
(Photo by David Robie)
Fernando Pereira was born in the town of Chaves in Portugal on the 10th of May 1950. In his youth, Fernando joined the armed forces – serving as a pilot. Fernando, a man of principal, refused to fight in the government's war to maintain control of the Portugese colonies of Angola and Mozambique.
This refusal led to Fernando fleeing his homeland for Spain to escape the corporatist authoritarian government that ruled Portugal until 1974. Eventually finding his way to the Netherlands by way of hitchhiking, where he settled. Fernando married a local Dutch woman and had two children, a daughter – Marelle, and a son – Paul.
Fernando always had a passion for photography as well as having a deep interest in environmental issues. In 1985, Fernando combined these two passions when he became a freelance photographer for Greenpeace on their six month voyage of peace through the Pacific Ocean.
Journalist David Robie, who would travel with Fernando during this time, described him as, "His charming Latin temperament and looks betrayed his Portuguese origins. He liked tight Italian-syle clothes and fast sports cars. Pereira was always wide-eyed, happy and smiling."
In April 1985, Fernando Pereira said goodbye to his children in the Netherlands, his departing words were, "Just take care of your mom, I'll do my trip and I'll be home soon".
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food was a government department of the United Kingdom; established in 1955. The department was created to handle the responsibilities of the British food industry.
In the same year, the Ministry commissioned a research ship to be built. The boat would be a trawler, a commercial fishing vessel. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl (which is a large fishing net) through the water behind one or more trawlers.
The boat was built in Aberdeen – a city of 200,000 on the northeast coastline of Scotland. Hall, Russell & Company built the 49m and 418t vessel. The ship was the first diesel electric ship built in the UK; diesel-electric ships work by fuelling multiple diesel engines, with each driving an electric generator, which produced electric power that energised electric motors connected to the propellers. This had the benefit of lower fuel consumption, less pollution and more maneuverability.
The boat was finished in 1955; the vessel was named after a former archivist of Scotland's National Archives: Sir William Hardy.
By 1978, Sir William Hardy had completed her tour of duty for the UK; the Ministry was looking to sell the old research boat. They had an interested party as well – Greenpeace.
Greenpeace is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) started as anti nuclear committee, 'Don't Make a Wave' in 1969 – formed in Vancouver, Canada to protest the United States government testing nuclear weapons on the small island of Amchitka in Alaska.
In their protest, the committee captained a boat to the island; the mission was halted when they were turned back by the US Coast Guard.
During one Don't Make a Wave Committee meetings; one member said 'Peace' to farewell another member – to which the other member responded 'Make it a green peace'. In 1972, the committee formally changed its name to the Greenpeace Foundation.
In 1978, Greenpeace was trying to scramble £37,000 together (equivalent to approx. $236,000 in 2019 dollars) for the downpayment on Sir William Hardy. The ship would lead their protests of commercial whaling in Iceland.
With help from the Dutch branch of the World Wildlife Fund, who agreed to help finance the purchase to help the whales. Greenpeace took ownership of Sir William Hardy in 1978 – their first vessel in Europeon waters.
Referencing the North American Cree Indian prophecy: 'When the world is sick and dying, the people will rise up like Warriors of the Rainbow…', Sir WIlliam Hardy was given a fresh coat of paint with rainbow patterns accenting its green hull. A white dove carrying an olive branch was painted on the bow. On the 2nd of May 1978 the boat was relaunched as the 'Rainbow Warrior'.

PACIFIC PEACE VOYAGE
In 1985, Rainbow Warrior received an upgrade. The fitting of sails allowed the ship to travel further distances. This was to prepare the boat for its voyage into the Pacific Ocean later in the year. With this the Rainbow Warrior became Greenpeace's flagship vessel.
In April of 1985, the Rainbow Warrior set sail on its 'Pacific Peace Voyage'. To protest French nuclear testing in the pacific. A ship was manned by a crew of 13 including, Skipper – Peter Wilcox, Chief Engineer Davey Edward, freelance journalist David Robie and freelance photographer Fernando Pereira.
First stop was Rongelap Atoll, which had been polluted by American nuclear testing from 1946 to 1962. The Pacific Islanders living near the fallout site were suffering from the nuclear radiation decades after the testing; this manifested as cancer, leukemia and birth defects.
In May of 1985, Greenpeace began their relocation of the Rongelap islanders to the safer Mejato Island. During that time, one Rongelap native John Anjain described the 'day of the double sunrise' to journalist David Robie; the day the US government exploded H-bomb Castle Bravo, a bomb 1,000 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, 150km upwind at Bikini Atoll:
"[One sun rose from the east, and another from the west] We heard a noise like thunder. We saw some strange clouds over the horizon. But the sun is the west faded away… In the afternoon something began falling from the sky upon our island. It looked like ash from a fire. It fell on me, it fell on my wife, it fell on our infant son. It fell on the trees, and on the roofs on our houses. It fell on the reef, and into the lagoon. We were very curious about this ash falling from the sky. Some people put it in their mouths and tasted it. One man rubbed it into his eye to see if it would cure an old ailment. People walked in it, and children played with it."
"Later on, in the evening it rained, the rain fell on the roofs of our houses. It washed away the ash. The water mixed with the ash which fell into our water catchments. Men, women and children drank that water. It didn't taste like rainwater and it was dark yellow, sometimes black. But people drank it anyway."
"Then, the next day, some Americans came to our island. They had a machine (geiger counter for detecting radiation) with them. They went around the island. They looked very worried and talked rapidly to each other. They told us we must not drink the water in our catchment tanks. They left – without explaining anything. By now most of the people were sick. Many vomited and felt weak. Later, the hair of men, women and children began to fall out. A lot of people had burns on their skin."
"On the third day some ships came. Americans again came on our island. They explained that we were in great danger because of the ash. They said, "If you don't leave, you will all die".
The Rongelap residents were moved by the American Navy 160km away to another island. Three years later, American scientents declared Rongelap safe, although admitting it may still have, "slight lingering radiation". 18 years later, John's son, who was only one-year-old when Bravo exploded, passed away from acute myelogenous leukaemia; along with numerous others in the fallout zone.
On the 12th of May, two new nuclear tests were announced by the French government. Crew from the Rainbow Warrior sent the French President Francois Mitterrand their feelings on that idea, "We wish to express our outrage over these tests not only for what they represent in terms of the nuclear weapons race, but also because of France's callous disregard for the wish of Pacific peoples everywhere to make their oceans a nuclear free zone. We are now engaged in an evacuation of the people of Rongelap Atoll… [who] were heavily contaminated by American nuclear tests in the 1940s and 1950s – and their island remains dangerously reactive to this day. Must France continually repeat the mistakes of the United States and Britain in the Pacific? Must France continue to pompously ignore the tide of public opinion regionally and around the world which says, 'enough'?"
Fernando Pereira was there to photograph the event. His photographs of the evacuation were described as, "profoundly moving".
The relocation to Majuro was completed on the 12th of June 1985. As the Rainbow Warrior set sail for NZ; with Majuro in the distance – Chief Engineer Davey Edward reflected on how the evacuation had affected him to journalist David Robie, "When I joined Greenpeace my contribution was to be mainly technical – but the evacuation saw that approach take a back seat. We were faced with uprooting a people from their homeland and setting them down on a place which, to them, may as well have been light years away. The first encounter had me scurrying for the engine room: an old lady on the welcoming launch looking tearfully, forlornly at the island which would have, should have, been her final resting place. The farewell on Ebeye had really got to me. We ate, we drank, we sang, we danced; they shook our hands, they gave us money; I cried. How could anyone do to these shy, gentle people what has been done? The only excuse of the guilty was: 'it's for the good of mankind'."
ARRIVING IN AUCKLAND
On the 7th of July 1985, the Rainbow Warrior harboured in Auckland. The large 40m ship was to spearhead a flotilla of vessels to Mururoa Atoll, located 4,500km northeast of New Zealand to protest upcoming French nuclear tests.
In the years leading up to 1985, Greenpeace had many encounters with French military. These confrontations escalated in 1974, while protesting nuclear testing in the pacific; Greenpeace yacht Vega was boarded by French commandos.
The French Military viciously assaulted Skipper David McTaggart as well as one other crew member. McTaggart was hospitalised as a result of this attack and lost vision in one eye for several months.
The French government claimed McTaggart's injuries were from a fall but photos from the Greenpeace crew told a different story. This caused outrage toward France from the international media.
The evening of the 10th of July 1985. The Rainbow Warrior still remained docked in Auckland port. Gearing up for the big voyage. The 10th of July was a special day for one crew member: Steve Sawyer; he was celebrating his 29th birthday.
Margaret Mills, the ship's cook had baked Steve a chocolate birthday cake with a jelly bean rainbow. The Rainbow Warrior was open to the public and others from the protest to come join the celebrations. On board, people enjoyed the jovial atmosphere – eating, drinking and socialising.
About 30 people were on board the Rainbow Warrior. 'Birthday boy' Steve saw an unusual looking man at the ship's bow. Steve noted, the man in his mid 20s looked more like a bank clerk than a peace activist. When the man left, he said to Steve, "Happy Birthday! I hope you make it to Mururoa." The man was French.
8.15pm. The skippers of all the protest vessels heading to Mururoa descended into the hold for a planning meeting. The members discussed possible rendezvous points, safety and schedules.
9.30pm. A French made Zodiac (a motorised inflatable boat) pulled up ashore at Hobson Bay. One man, wearing a wetsuit and a red woolen hat occupied the Zodiac. The man stashed the Zodiac engine under the Ngapipi Bridge before breaching the inflatable boat and concealing what remained.
Soon after, a man and a woman driving a Toyota Hi-ace campervan pulled up alongside the mystery man. He entered the vehicle and the three exited the scene.
Members of the Outboard Boating Club on Tamaki Drive were looking out on the harbour; drinking coffee and socialising. They viewed all this from afar. Thinking something was off about what transpired – they jotted down the number plate of the van: LB8945.
11pm. The planning meeting concluded. Some members left for Piha beach, there was to be an international meeting of some of the biggest names in Greenpeace in the early morning hours of the next day.
Others, including Chief Engineer Davey Edward and photographer Fernando Pereira stayed and had a drink in the mess room; the night was still young.
11.50pm. CRUMPPPP! A massive explosion is felt coming from below. As the ship shuddered, some of the crew was violently hurled to the ground, others to the walls. Chief Engineer Edward yelled "Bloody hell… It's from the engine room."
The engine room was located around the centre of the ship, directly below the mess room. Edward scrambled down the stairs; he turned the crank to open the engine room. What Edward witnessed was water gushing in a sizable breach in the hull. Soon the main engine was underwater, the water started to steam. It was inevitable; the ship was going down.
Soon someone yelled from top deck, "Look out, the mast is coming down!". Fernando Pereira was concerned about the cameras located in his cabin. He quickly travelled to the back of the ship. He descended the stairs.
11.52pm. A second explosion came from below deck. This time towards the rear of the vessel. Skipper Peter Wilcox yelled, "Abandon ship. Everybody get the hell out of here!".
The crew regrouped on the dock. They watched as Greenpeace's pride and joy, the Rainbow Warrior sank 60 seconds after the second explosion.
Wilcox did a quick headcount. Everyone was accounted for; except for Fernando Pereira.
Back in the Netherlands, it was around 1.30pm when Fernando Pereira's family found out about his missing status. Marelle Pereira, Fernando's daughter recalls that moment, "During the summer we went to camp, we were playing a game with a ball with my friends, then one of our teachers came up to me and asked if I could join her because she had something to tell me. My mom was there and I thought that was pretty strange. I did not know what to think of that, so I walked with her to where my mother was sitting with an uncle of mine, but over there I got a strange feeling, I don't know how to explain that, but I knew something had to be wrong with my dad. It had to be; otherwise my mom would have come over there and talked to me. By the time that I got to my mom she was in tears. The moment that she said he was missing, all the pieces fell together and I cried together with my mom. We packed our bags that afternoon and she took me home. We waited for the news which eventually was of my dad turning up dead".
That moment would come 4am NZ time, when Navy divers recovered Fernando Pereira's body from his cabin. He had drowned with the straps of his camera bags tangled around one of his legs.
Fig 8. 2 by 3 metre 'hole' in the hull (Photo by Gil Hanly)
Navy divers also discovered a hole about two metres by three metres blown inwards on the starboard side of the ship's engineroom, meaning the blast came from outside the hull. The second breach was similar in size around the propeller shaft.
That day, Greenpeace International sent a memo out to all 15 of its member countries:
"ATTN: GREENPEACE, ALL OFFICES 10 JULY 1985
FROM: GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL URGENT… URGENT… URGENT… RAINBOW WARRIOR SUNK BY TWO EXPLOSIONS IN AUCKLAND HARBOUR, NEW ZEALAND. SABOTAGE SUSPECTED. VERY LITTLE NEWS FORTHCOMING… WILL HAVE MORE INFO SOON."
French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius was quick to condemn the act of terrorism against Greenpeace, "I want to return to the outrage against the Rainbow Warrior… our condemnation… is an absolute condemnation against a criminal act. The guilty whoever they be, have to pay for this crime."

Can I ask you a sort of related follow up?


Your child wasn't born with the innate ability to write her name, draw a picture, or swing a bat and hit a ball. Hand-eye coordination develops as part of your little one's repertoire of fine motor skills blossoms. From the beginning basics, such as picking up a small toy, to more major movements that involve a mature complexity of motions, eye-hand coordination builds as your child grows.
As a newborn, your baby's hand movements are mainly reflexive in nature. As he grows, he'll begin to use more purposeful movements. By the time your baby reaches the middle of the his first year -- somewhere between 4 and 7 months -- he'll start reaching and grabbing for objects and moving toys from one hand to the other, according to the article "Movement, Coordination, and Your 4- to 7-Month-Old" on the KidsHealth website. Toward the end of the first year -- between 8 and 12 months -- he'll develop the ability to use a pincer grasp to pick up small items, such as dry cereal pieces. While every child develops on a slightly different schedule, if your baby is missing major milestones -- if he doesn't start reaching for and grabbing objects between 4- and 7- months or can't control his hands at all by the end of the first year, for instance -- it's time to call the pediatrician.
Although the name "toddler" directly refers to the toddling gait of your newly walking child, kids in this stage are also building smaller skills when it comes to making movements. While not mature yet, your toddler is building fine motor abilities, such as hand-eye coordination. By 2 years old, she should be able to pick up and stack five blocks, hold a writing utensil and eat with utensils on her own, according to the experts at the Baby Center website. Between 2 and 3 years, your tot will continue to grow her hand-eye coordination, drawing with lines and circles and turning pages in a book by herself, notes the American Academy of Pediatrics on its website, HealthyChildren.org. Keep in mind that your toddler refusing to use her spoon is different than your toddler not being able to. Refusing to do something is an independence issue, while lacking the ability may signal a problem that you need to address with the doctor.
Your preschooler's budding self-control may not seem mature, but it is building up enough to provide a background for his growing hand-eye coordination. With a developing ability to concentrate, your 3- to 5-year-old can engage in more complex fine motor activities, such as tracing squares and circles, according to HealthyChildren.org. During this time, he's also developing spatial awareness skills that coordinate with his hand-eye abilities to position small objects -- such as toys or blocks -- and better control eating utensils. If you notice your child is finding motor tasks, such as throwing a ball overhand, grasping a crayon between his thumb and fingers or copying a simple shape, a challenge, HealthyChildren.org suggests consulting a pediatrician.
By the time your child reaches the grade-school years, her fine motor skills have matured enough to let her master most basic eye-hand coordination tasks. She'll have the ability to print letters, feed herself, dress herself -- using zippers, snaps and buttons -- and manipulate objects easily. As she moves through the elementary years, she'll develop more sophisticated eye-hand coordination, allowing her to play sports such as baseball, basketball or tennis. School-age kids' eye-hand coordination abilities vary greatly. Just because your second grader can't hit a home run or draw a masterpiece doesn't mean she has a problem. That said, if she's struggling with daily fine motor tasks, such as printing her letters, or her teacher has concerns, call the doctor for a professional evaluation.

What Does White Truffle Taste Like?
The taste of a white truffle is challenging to describe. It's been described as garlicky by some and as having a slight tint of yellow by others. Others link it to the earthy aroma of tree nuts, while others believe it has a musky scent. The flavor is unmistakable in any situation. White truffles have a somewhat distinct flavor and perfume than black truffles. They are frequently described as having a mild garlicky flavor, similar to that of shallots, and a strong musky scent. Any typical dish can be transformed into a gourmet culinary experience with the addition of a robust aroma and subtle flavor.
In addition to having a foul, tart scent on both the black and white forms of eggplant, both the black and white variants are best when they are cooked. They can be eaten raw, but they are usually best prepared using a special sauce that contains these components and is served over rice. The richness of truffles may be enjoyed with just about everything, but they are at their best when cooked. The distinction between the two kinds of truffles is not the same.
What are White Truffles?
Truffles are tubers that grow a few inches underground and store a lot of flavors. Hardwood trees such as oaks, hazelnuts, and chestnuts provide a favorable environment for them to thrive. Despite the high value placed on all truffles, the white truffle from Alba (a specific species known as tuber magnatum) is the most sought-after due to its unique flavor and aroma. They have a knobby shape, firm flesh, and a delicate golden tint that makes them stand out. White truffles are prized for their bigger size (they can grow as large as 9 centimeters in diameter! ), limited availability, and superior flavor.
The white truffle must arouse primitive feelings in those who consume it, as evidenced by many enthusiastic people. Truffles are the actual fruit of the soil; they are more uncommon and valuable than any other edible root, tuber, or fungus, and they are also the most expensive. There is no other flavor quite like them anywhere on the planet, which may explain why they are so frequently described as divine.
White truffles have a wide variety of flavors, as you might expect; nonetheless, they always have the same distinctive odor. It has a strong garlic flavor and is pungent, earthy, and earthy. This is a delectable treat for those who have never had it before. It's also prohibitively expensive, with a per-pound price tag reaching five thousand dollars. The cost of a pound of truffles is prohibitively expensive, deterring many would-be gourmets from trying them.
Like many other mushroom varieties, White truffles have an earthy, musky flavor. However, there is a warming garlic essence and a funky flavor to white truffles that individuals find very appealing.
White truffles have a somewhat distinct flavor and perfume than black truffles, and they generally have a mild garlicky flavor with a deep musky scent, similar to shallots. Any classic dish can be transformed into a gourmet taste experience because of its robust aroma and delicate flavor.
White truffles have a rich, fragrant flavor. Because of their high umami content, they are widely sought after in fine dining cuisine, yet they are generally used as oil rather than the entire mushroom to save time. Because fresh white truffles are costly, this is done purely for commercial reasons.
White Truffle Texture
White truffles have a smooth, solid texture that is delicious to bite into. They have a softer texture than their black truffle counterparts, and however, both are less spongy in texture than other mushrooms in general.
Some may be rubbery in texture when it comes to mushrooms, but this should not be the case with truffles. It's true that if you bite into a rubbery white truffle, it's most likely over its sell-by date.
What is the Best Way to Eat a Truffle?
However, cooking with truffles is a straightforward process. Truffle oils are a popular way to ingest these distinctive mushrooms. Simply scrub them thoroughly to remove all of the dirt, slice them, then sauté them in a bit of oil or vegan butter until they are tender.
Chefs recommend that you softly cook white truffles since too much heat can easily damage the delicate aromas and texture of the truffles. Truffle oil, on the other hand, is resistant to high temperatures.
White Truffles: How Long do they Last?
White truffles have a short shelf life and should be consumed as soon as possible. After they've been harvested, you may only be able to get five days out of them.
If you can get your hands on some fresh white truffles, you should use them as soon as possible. Try to use them on the same day you get them to ensure that you don't forget about them.
What Makes White Truffle so Pricey?
The product's rarity is the root cause of such expensive prices; truffles are only available during specific seasons, are exceedingly difficult to grow, and require many years to nurture. Additionally, they have a short shelf life. Truffles require a precise temperature to develop and a large number of oak trees, which is why they are frequently found in wooded areas.
White Truffles Grow in What Areas?
Alba is engulfed in white truffles every fall, and locals and the rest of the culinary world eagerly await the daily arrivals. However, the white truffle goes on a one-of-a-kind trip before reaching the table.
White truffles grow wild in the woodlands of Alba, a small Piemontese hamlet, from September to December. They thrive in the deep forests of Piemonte's Langhe, a fertile region nestled between the Tanaro and Po Rivers and the Alps and Apennine mountain ranges. Le Langhe is made up of rolling hills covered in vineyards and hilltop communities noted for their excellent wines, cheeses, and truffles. Because the soil is mostly clay and marl, the truffle can grow quite huge around the roots of oak, poplar, and linden trees.
Each one is sniffed out by a dog taught during puppyhood to detect the distinct fragrance of truffles by a professional truffle hunter. (Truffles were initially pursued by pigs until we discovered they adore them just as much as we do!) After the dog has revealed the truffle's position, the hunter digs it up, lovingly cleans it, and then presents it to the lucky receiver.
What is the Flavour of White Truffle Hot Sauce?
White truffle hot sauce from Truff
The White Truffle and the Hotter both feature Organic Coriander, the seed form of cilantro with a flowery and lemony flavor present in both of these products.
What is the Origin of Truffles?
Truffles are not a culinary creation conceived in a kitchen but rather a fungus, specifically a species of the Tuber genus, that grows in the soil of Europe and Asia. Truffles are the fruiting body of certain species of subterranean fungi that grow in underground environments. Truffles, typically located around the roots of certain trees, rely on fungivores (animals that consume fungi) to disseminate their spores across the environment. I know that this seems a little disgusting, but trust me when I say that eating a dish that incorporates truffles is something you and your taste senses will remember for a long time. Truffles were dubbed "the jewel of the kitchen" by the legendary gourmet chef Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin because their scarcity and excellent features may completely transform a dish. Italian, Middle Eastern and Spanish cuisines use truffles to significant effect. They are also popular in Croatian and French cuisine.
Which is Better: Black or White Truffle?
Turquoise, both black and white, is highly regarded for the depth and richness of its flavors. However, while there are some differences of opinion as to which is more potent, many people find white truffles to be highly robust and garlicky. In contrast, the scent of black truffles may be heightened through cooking because the heat allows the smell to emerge more fully.
Which one you choose to use in a recipe is determined by the other ingredients you're using and the flavors you're attempting to highlight in the dish. Keep in mind that the white truffle is the edgier of the two, so keep that in mind while looking for dishes to incorporate it into.
While the flavor of a real truffle is unmistakable, the fragrance and texture of real truffle are slightly different. They look and taste similar to mushrooms, but they're considerably smaller and have an earthy, musky flavor instead of mushroom flavor. These mushrooms are so rare that they can take up to a decade to mature. Foraging in nature is the most effective method of discovering fresh truffles, and it's even available for purchase for a few dollars. A single truffle will keep for a few months in the refrigerator. Consider purchasing the real thing instead of imitations if you're looking for an exotic and unique taste.
The white truffle has a wide range of flavors and smells to offer. The aroma of a white truffle is earthy, pungent, and a little stinky, which is a pleasant surprise. When it comes to white truffles and their price tag, Lidia Bastianich, the Italian chef who owns the Eataly restaurant in New York, has nothing but admiration for the delectable treat. It might cost as much as $500 per pound in some cases! When purchasing truffles, make sure to inquire of a chef as to what "white-tasting" means.

Q: jQuery Validation - Changing "Required" Attribute based on other fields I'm using the jQuery Validation plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation) on a form I'm building. The form is made up of 6 fieldsets, each containing 3 text inputs for an email address, a first name and a last name. A simplified version of the markup is like so:
<form id="ref" action="submit.php" method="post">
    <fieldset id="ref_1">
        <input id="ref_1_email" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_1_fname" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_1_lname" type="text" />
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset id="ref_2">
        <input id="ref_2_email" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_2_fname" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_2_lname" type="text" />
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset id="ref_3">
        <input id="ref_3_email" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_3_fname" type="text" />
        <input id="ref_3_lname" type="text" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

and so forth, up to ref_6. However, the user does not necessarily need to complete every field - they may only choose to fill in the inputs inside fieldset#ref_1 and fieldset#ref_2, and leave the others blank. But if they enter, for example, an email for ref_1, a first and last name for ref_1 would be required also. So what I need to do is check all 3 inputs in a fieldset. If they are all blank, they can be ignored, however if one of the inputs is filled in, it's two neighbours must be completed also. All my attempts so far have been very cumbersome (watching for a change on each one and then evaluating to see if empty...), any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Update:
I found a post with a similar issue, with the suggested solution being:
$('#emailToName2').keyup(function () {
    $('#emailToAddress2').toggleClass('required', $(this).val());
});

But that requires the above logic duplicated for each and every input, which seems like overkill to me. What would be a more dynamic approach?
Cheers!

A: You can specify an expression or callback when indicating that a field is required.  The validation plugin will then evaluate the expression or callback before validating the field.
Here's an example:
$("#ref").validate({
  rules: {
    ref_1_email: {
      required: function(element) {
        return $("#ref_1_fname").val() || $("ref_1_lname").val();
      }
    }
  }
});
$("#ref_1_email").blur(function() {
  $("#ref_1_fname").valid();
  $("#ref_1_lname").valid();
});

There's probably some refactoring that you can do so that you don't have to repeat all of this for each field...

A: You can write your own custom validation class that evaluates if the other either of the  2 inputs have been completed.
eg.
jQuery.validator.addMethod('MyOwnValidator', function(value, element) {
    var required = false;
    $(element).parent().children('input').each(function() {
       if($(this).val() && $(this).attr('id') != $(element).attr('id')){
           required = true;
       }
    });
    return !required;
});

This will evaluate if any of the sibling inputs have a value and if they do it makes the calling input required.

A: Not tried and neither properly written:
$("#ref input").keyup(function () {
 $(this).parents("fieldset").children("input").toggleClass("required", $(this).val());
});

A: You cant do it all in one loop, since you need to check siblings before toggling the class. You can, however, define a small loop function that can check and apply, but you will need to call it several times to maintain logic.
Try this:
var loop = function(target, fn) {
    var t = 0, fn = fn || function(){};
    $(target).siblings().andSelf().each(function(i, el) {
        t += $(el).val().length;
        fn(el);
    });
    return t;
}
$('fieldset input').each(function() {
    $(this).bind('blur', function(e) {
        if(loop(e.target)) {
            loop(e.target, function(el) {
                $(el).toggleClass('required', !$(el).val().length);
            })
        } else {
            loop(e.target, function(el) {
                $(el).removeClass('required');
            })
        }
    });
});

A: Was just investigating this for a project. According to the docs, the following should do what you want.
When first calling validate on your form, do it like this:
$("#emailRecsForm").validate({
   rules: {
       ref_1_email: {
         required: ("#ref_1_fname:filled" || "#ref_1_lname:filled"),
         email: true
       },
       ref_1_fname: {
         required: ("#ref_1_email:filled" || "#ref_1_lname:filled")
       },
       ref_1_lname: {
         required: ("#ref_1_email:filled" || "#ref_1_fname:filled")
       },

       ref_2_email: {
         required: ("#ref_2_fname:filled" || "#ref_2_lname:filled"),
         email: true
       },
       // And so on...
   }
});

Also, make sure each of your inputs has a name attribute identical to its id.
I haven't actually tried it myself, but judging by the docs (see required(dependency-expression)), it should work.

A recent Executive Order from Virginia Governor Ralph Northam calls on the Virginia Institute of Marine Science to leverage its long-term monitoring programs and expertise in flood forecasting to further increase the Commonwealth's resilience to sea-level rise and natural hazards.
Executive Order Twenty Four, signed by the Governor during the 6th Annual Conference of the Virginia Coastal Policy Center at William & Mary Law School, calls for a sweeping series of actions to limit the impact of flooding and extreme weather events within the Commonwealth.
The Order calls on guidance from VIMS in four separate areas. Leading the statewide effort is the Commonwealth's newly designated "Chief Resilience Officer," Secretary of Natural Resources Matt Strickler, a 2007 graduate of VIMS and the Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy at W&M.
As evidence of the pervasive threat that sea-level rise poses to Virginia and the nation, the Executive Order directs Strickler to consult not only with VIMS and the Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency, but with offices throughout state government—including the Secretaries of Administration, Commerce and Trade, Finance, and Transportation.
The consultation also extends to local government; federal partners such as the Departments of Defense, Transportation, Agriculture, Interior, and Housing and Urban Development; and non-governmental groups including civic organizations, businesses, and non-profits.
A third directive is to work collaboratively with local governments to ensure that the statewide sea-level projection and freeboard standards are useful for local decision-making. VIMS is again ahead of the curve here, with its Comprehensive Coastal Resource Management Portals, which provide guidance on shoreline management tailored to each of the 45 cities and counties that make up Tidewater Virginia. The institute also brings decades of advisory service experience with these cities and counties, as well as with regional planning district commissions, wetlands boards, and other local stakeholders.
The capstone of Governor Northam's Executive Order is a "Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan," which will identify the most effective tools, techniques, and programs for reducing the impacts of tidal and storm-surge flooding.
The AdaptVA website, a collaboration between VIMS and the Virginia Coastal Policy Center, provides a step forward on both goals.


Fact check: No, Pence did not compare President Trump to MLK Jr.
This was a banner weekend for fake news. First, BuzzFeed News got a "bombshell" story on the Mueller investigation so wrong that Mueller's team issued a response disputing BuzzFeed's reporting. Next, a group of MAGA hat-wearing Catholic high school students at the March for Life were subjected to a two-minute hate after the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and other MSM outlets wildly mischaracterized a video supposedly showing the kids harassing a Native American man. Nothing of the kind happened. In fact, it was the kids who were being harassed and it seems the Native American man lied to the media about what happened.
Now, Newsweek, RawStory, and others are claiming Vice President Mike Pence compared President Trump to Martin Luther King Jr. in an interview on Face the Nation. That is fake news.
I think what we saw the president do yesterday was say, "I want to set the table for us resolving this issue" in a way that achieves his objectives to secure the border, end the humanitarian security crisis, end the government shutdown, but also to bring together the Democrats' priorities to accomplish that. That's what the American people expect us to do.
Pence did not say Donald Trump is "exactly like" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He did not compare Trump to Dr. King at all. Pence said that Trump is "calling on the Congress" to "make real the promises of democracy," as Dr. King put it, by coming to the table and negotiating a deal to reopen government. Pence, in other words, is asking Congress to legislate: to act like the lawmaking body of a democratic republic, compromise, and govern well.
To represent Pence's comments as comparing Trump to Dr. King is straight-up fake news. You would have to intentionally misread or mishear what Pence is saying to come away with the take that he's disrespecting Dr. King's legacy by comparing him to Trump.

Caution of big beasts holding back Europe's 5G rollout, claims new report
Previous Article The Netherlands deemed one of Europe's best for LTE speeds, coverage
Next Article Five go bidding for Italian spectrum as TIM turns first 5G antenna on
Europe has taken another hammering for its 5G deployment plans, with a new report arguing the region's unambitious big beasts are dragging back the dreams of the smaller players.
CCS Insight has predicted 5G connections with hit 340 million in 2021 and will cross the one billion mark in the first half of 2023.
By 2025, more than one connection in every five worldwide will be to a 5G network or 2.7 billion in total.
Principal Analyst Kester Mann said there has been a greater urgency of late among European operators in their 5G deployment plans. He cited Telia's launch of a pre-commercial 5G network in Helsinki last week, ahead of a full offering next year. It was the first to launch commercial LTE in 2009.
Other notable operators in their plans have been Elisa, TIM, BT, Swisscom and Telenor, he added, which was a sign that 5G would be a market reality quicker than was previous assumed.
However, he said larger operators such as Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone were more cautious in their approach, committing to commercial launches in 2020.
Mann added: "While Europe may still be around a year adrift of the leading markets in 5G, some regional operators are clearly determined to launch commercial services as soon as next year...Once networks are launched, the motivation to bring users onto them will be huge."
CCS has predicted there will be more than 20 million 5G connections by the end of 2020, growing fivefold to broach the 100 million mark two years later.
The report also upgraded its outlook for China, widely predicted to be the biggest adopter of 5G. The earlier than expected launch of 5G by China Mobile, a potential refocusing of Chinese vendor giants Huawei and ZTE in the face of geopolitical tensions and the rumoured merger of China Telecom and China Unicom could boost 5G across the country.
It predicted China will be the biggest 5G market in 2020, with 40 million connections, growing to more than one billion by 2025, when it will account for four in every ten connections globally.
The launch of 5G could prove good news for manufacturers of Android handsets, with the major players expected to enter the market by late 2019. Despite Apple coming to the market later than others, there will be 60 million 5G-ready smartphones sold in 2019, growing to half a billion by 2021.
Marina Koytcheva, VP of forecasting at CCS Insight, said: "A stagnant device market in 2018, especially in affluent countries, means that Android smartphone makers will jump at the opportunity to offer some innovation in the hope of tempting people to replace their phone next year."

TikTok is one of the popular mobile apps mostly used by youth to create and share short videos. In 2018, it became the most downloaded apps on both Android and Apple devices. There are a large number of Indians who use this chinese video app, and a substantial number from Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, State Information Technology Minister M Manikandan said in the Assembly that TN government will seek the help of the Centre to ban the mobile app TikTok. He compared Tik Tok to Blue Whale challenge.
Earlier, Nagapattinam MLA Thamimun Ansari requested government to ban the app by raising the issue that TikTok creates law and order problems and obscene activities over youths.


When your food comes from Sudan - What should you do?
People wonder why do all other Gulf countries except UAE want stability in Sudan. Simple: their food is produced in Sudan. They need Sudan as much as the Sudanese people.

Do you know that I had a dog when I was a child,that is our difference. I have more love and respect to my dog than you.
Ethiopia had started this startegy. Grow food for some countries that need to be turned from potential enemy to potential friend.
Test case was Saudi Arabia. The impact was immediate. The Saudi's made big change in their behaviour. So much so they even wanted to invest in Electricity generation and distribution in Ethiopia.
Well Ethiopia seems to go back always to tchiqa. Finds quickest way to go backwards. Almost a decade has been wasted and countries in the pipeline have moved ON.

NBC's 'Law & Order: SVU' Developing Episode Inspired by Roger Ailes
Jan 27, 2017 • Post A Comment
One of those "ripped from the headlines" episodes of "Law & Order: SVU" is in the works at NBC that tackles a story along the lines of the recent Roger Ailes sexual harassment scandal at Fox News, TVLine reports.
"TVLine has learned exclusively that the NBC procedural is developing an episode loosely inspired by the sexual harassment scandal that pitted ex-Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson against the network's CEO Roger Ailes, a kerfuffle that ultimately forced Ailes to step down," the story reports. "Carlson, who alleged that Ailes fired her after she refused his sexual advances, ended up walking away with a $20 million settlement."
The "SVU" episode is reportedly titled "The Newsroom," and is due to begin production in February. TVLine reports that the story "centers on a character by the name of Howard Coyle, who is described as the 'uber-powerful, brash, bullying, controlling, obnoxious, inappropriate' head of a major news network whose past is about to catch up with him. The other key players in the installment are 40-ish 'Heidi,' one of the network's lead anchors who carries with her a dark and devastating secret; 20-ish 'Margery,' an opportunistic up-and-coming anchor at the network who will do anything to advance her career; and 50-ish 'George,' a seasoned talking head at the net who's grumpy, cranky and well-versed on what goes on in the newsroom."
"SVU" wasn't commenting, but TVLine notes that a rep for the show reminded the publication that "SVU is fiction."

Prevalence of Diagnosed and Undiagnosed HIV Infection — United States, 2008–2012
HIV diagnosis is the essential first step in ensuring those living with HIV can access ongoing care and treatment, as well as other information and tools to help prevent transmission to others. More than one million people are living with HIV in the U.S.; although most of these individuals are aware of their infection, those who are not cannot benefit from life-extending treatment and account for a significant proportion (30 percent) of new HIV transmissions. Reaching these individuals with HIV testing is critical. For this analysis, CDC researchers analyzed data from the National HIV Surveillance System to estimate the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed HIV for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2012, the number of people living with HIV ranged from 110 (Iowa) to 3,936 (Washington, DC) per 100,000 persons in 42 jurisdictions with stable estimates. The percentage living with diagnosed HIV ranged from 77.4 percent in Louisiana to 90 percent or greater in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, and New York. These five jurisdictions have already met the National HIV/AIDS Strategy goal of increasing the percentage of people living with HIV who know their serostatus to 90 percent by 2015. These data underscore the continued need for ongoing efforts to increase testing to further reduce undiagnosed HIV infection. The authors also note that because the percentage of persons who are diagnosed varies by geographic area, efforts tailored to each area's unique needs and situations may be needed.
Identifying New Positives and Linkage to HIV Medical Care — 23 Testing Site Types, United States, 2013
Health care and non-health care settings both play a pivotal role in reaching undiagnosed persons with HIV testing services. CDC recommends routine HIV screening in health care settings for persons aged 13-64 years. However, targeted testing in non-health care settings is also critical to reach populations that continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV (e.g., African Americans, men who have sex with men, and Latinos) and do not routinely seek care. To better understand in what settings HIV testing and diagnosis is taking place, CDC researchers reviewed data from 61 health departments and 151 community based organizations that were funded by CDC to conduct HIV testing. In 2013, a larger percentage of HIV-positive persons were newly diagnosed in STD clinics (0.8 percent), as compared to other health care sites (0.2-0.5 percent). In non-health care sites, HIV counseling and testing sites conducted the largest number of HIV testing events and identified the largest number of new positives (3,860, or 1 percent of those tested). The findings indicate that certain sites yield higher percentages of new positives among persons who were unaware of their HIV infection and highlight the importance of national program monitoring and evaluation efforts to determine which sites are most effectively providing HIV testing, diagnosing new positives, and linking HIV-positive persons to care. The authors note this analysis can be used to inform decisions about program planning and allocation of HIV testing resources.

Our collection of Chinese Antiques encompasses a wide range of genuine pieces that were crafted in China. It includes:
The porcelain formula was originally discovered in China and was closely guarded by the Chinese. This allowed them to remain the dominant porcelain producer and, subsequently, exporter in the world up until 18th Century. Porcelain produced in China was known as true, or hard-paste, porcelain. It was made by mixing kaolin, a type of Chinese clay, and stone powder which was grounded from either feldspathic rock or petuntse. During the rule of Tang Dynasty, porcelain production spiked. This was largely because the demand for porcelain increased in the west and drinking tea became more popular. The white porcelain produced in the north became the standard due to its colour and durability. Celadon porcelain, which was produced in the south, was another favourite during that period. It was well known for its jade green/blueish green colours, simple but refined shapes, solid substance and a distinctive style. The technique of creating colour glaze has been improved upon during this period.
During the Song Dynasty, the production of porcelain was moved to Jingdezhen and remained there for around 900 years. This is where the famous white and blue porcelain was produced. The technical innovations during the Ming Dynasty allowed to prevent cobalt from bleeding during the heating process and distorting the fine artwork, making porcelain from this period highly recognizable and valuable.
Soapstone, jade, alabaster, and wood carvings
Soapstone is a very soft material, which could easily be carved with the simplest of tools. For that reason, soapstone carvings have been made for over 3000 years by Vikings, Egyptians and Chinese. During the Ming dynasty in China, these carvings became especially popular and were produced at a very high rate. The carvings were not limited to figures either. Dishes, utensils, teapots and plates were also carved. The multi-layer carving techniques became popular during the Song dynasty (960-1279) as artists began working with harder versions of soapstone. Later on, soapstone seals became popularized during the Ming dynasty as the number of scholars increased, however floral motifs continued to be popular. Other things, such as carvings of Buddha and incense burners, were also common.
Jade carvings were highly valued in China due to the belief that the stone represents purity, longevity, and beauty. The statues carved out of jade differ from the rest because of the stone's glitter and translucent colours. Traditionally, jade was not carved with metal tools, but worn away with carborundum sand and soft tools. This technique was later replaced by rotary tools with diamond bits. The stone's rarity and technological limitations of the time made jade statues and jewelry something that only the most wealthy and powerful could acquire. Jade carvings often include depictions of characters, flowers, beasts, and animals.
By the time of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC), all essential techniques of wood carving have already been in use. These techniques were used for carving furniture, decorating buildings, and crafting statues of religious figures. Fine grain wood was a prerequisite for a truly successful carving, as it had to be smooth and soft to the touch. This made boxwood ideal for wood carving. Other materials, such as incense wood, sandalwood and ebony, were used due to their aroma and hue.
Ultimately, these carvings reflect China's long history and unique culture, and are prized as highly collectable items in the antique world.
Tang Style Pottery
Tang style pottery, or Sancai (meaning three-coloured), has been exclusively used to decorate the tombs of nobility for over 150 years during the reign of Tang dynasty. Nowadays, these charming horses, camels and civil officials, have become popular among collectors and decorators. The three defining colours: green, amber and cream, were achieved by mixing the metal oxides to a lead fluxed glaze. Ultimately, something that originally was meant for the dead has found its place among the living.

It's the season for soup – One in particular which I've seen a hundred times over but have never tried is Italian Wedding Soup. This particular evening I decided to give it a go. I mean what could there not be to like about moist mini turkey meatballs in chicken broth with hearty vegetables and pasta. Fresh parmesan tops the dish and melts right into your bowl and taste buds. This soup is filling, warming and delicious. So on those cold nights or maybe even when you're feeling under the weather curl up with a bowl of this soup and let your troubles of the day just melt away.
*Be sure to trim the stems.
*Use something small like mini wheel shaped pasta or mini bowties.
– Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
– In a bowl combine turkey meat, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, grated parmesan and a couple of sprinkles of all seasonings.
– Roll a mini size ball of meat mix in-between your hands and place in a baking dish which has been prepped with cooking spray.
– Drizzle olive oil all over the meatballs and sprinkle with all seasoning one more time.
– You can make about 25 mini meatballs with the ½ pound of meat.
– Bake the meatballs for about 30 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
– When the meatballs are done be sure to mix them up so they pick up all the oils, flavor and juices in the dish.
– Heat a tablespoon of olive oil at the bottom of your pot.
– Throw in the minced garlic and shallot to brown.
– Now pour in the wine and scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pot.
– Next you can add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
– Throw in pasta and bring down to a simmer.
– Once pasta is cooked through add in the zucchini and cannellini beans.
– Sprinkle seasonings into the pot and cover.
– Let simmer till zucchini is now cooked through.
– Throw in the meatballs and cook on low heat for about 10 – 15 minutes.
– Take spinach leaves and tear by hand and throw them into the pot.
– Sprinkle seasonings into the pot and spin to make sure all the ingredients are combined.
– Continue to cook on low heat for another five minutes.
– Once done – ladle soup into bowls and top with the fresh parmesan.
*Feel free to swap out any of the veggies I used for other kinds.
*Note you can always add in a can of tomato paste to the broth and give the base a tomato flavor.
*Also you can brown up Italian sausage and throw slices of that into the soup instead of the mini meatballs.


Besides Ayur Deep Pore Cleansing Milk and Lakme Deep pore cleanser, I've also used Himalaya Herbals Deep Pore Cleansing Milk. It's a wonderful cleanser -- leaves my skin thoroughly cleansed and refreshed; what I like about it is it has the goodness of cucumber and a natural foaming agent like soapnut (reetha). Cucumber soothes and keeps your facial skin soft, while soapnut penetrates deep into pores and effectively cleans excess oily secretions. It suits all skin types and is one of the must-have products of summer months.
I love these bottles and other packaging. I also like the fact that the products are natural and hypo-allergenic.
I love this product! I can't say enough good things about it.
It is a gentle facial cleanser is for all skin types, making your skin feel as soft as a flower's petal.

Erhard Schwerin (* 8. April 1939; † 16. Oktober 2016) war ein deutscher Fußballtorwart. Er spielte während seiner Karriere mit dem Hamburger SV 20 Spiele in der Fußball-Bundesliga. Er war der erste Spieler, der in einem Bundesligaspiel eingewechselt wurde.

Laufbahn
Schwerin kam 1961 von Tasmania Berlin zu den Amateuren des Hamburger SV, bevor er zur Saison 1964/65 zusammen mit Holger Dieckmann und Peter Woldmann bei den "Rothosen" in den Bundesligakader aufgenommen wurde. Sein Debüt im Oberhaus des deutschen Fußballs gab er am 30. März 1965 beim Auswärtsspiel gegen den 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Lautern gewann das Heimspiel mit 2:1-Toren. Es war der 24. Spieltag und Schwerin absolvierte noch drei weitere Saisonspiele unter Trainer Georg Gawliczek. Trotz der externen Neuzugänge Heiko Kurth, Andreas Máté und Juhani Peltonen belegten die "Rautenträger" lediglich den 11. Rang. Im Tor war, wie schon seit vielen Jahren zuvor in der Fußball-Oberliga Nord, Horst Schnoor, die unangefochtene Stammkraft.

In seiner zweiten Saison als Lizenzfußballer, 1965/66, kam der 1,80 m große Schwerin mit weiteren drei Einsätzen auch nicht über seinen vorherigen Status hinaus. Er kam in diversen Freundschaftsspielen wie gegen Stockport County und Palloseura Turku wie auch im DFB-Pokal beim 4:0-Heimerfolg gegen Borussia Neunkirchen am 18. Februar 1966 in der durch Willi Schulz und Egon Horst verstärkten HSV-Elf zum Einsatz, die aber nicht mehr als den neunten Rang belegen konnte. In seinem dritten Jahr in der Bundesliga, 1966/67, konnte Schwerin seine persönliche Bilanz zwar mit 10 Ligaeinsätzen und drei DFB-Pokalauftritten, darunter die besondere Bewährung am 6. Mai 1967 beim wertvollen 3:1-Heimerfolg im Halbfinale gegen Alemannia Aachen ausbauen, aber der HSV enttäuschte unter Trainer Josef Schneider mit dem 14. Rang im Schlussklassement der Liga erneut. Auch durch sein Mitwirken in internationalen Freundschaftsspielen wie gegen Sparta Prag und beim Benefizspiel für José Santamaría am 15. September 1966 bei Real Madrid, war diese Runde für den Torhüter gut verlaufen, auch wenn er im Endspiel um den DFB-Pokal am 10. Juni 1967 gegen Bayern München wieder Schnoor den Vortritt überlassen musste.

Zur Saison 1967/68 verpflichtete sein Verein mit Özcan Arkoç einen weiteren Torhüter und er blieb weiterhin die Nummer Zwei, jetzt hinter dem Neuzugang aus Wien. Unter Trainer Kurt Koch und dem Fußball-Chef Georg Knöpfle kam er in den ersten drei Rundenspielen zum Einsatz. Am ersten Spieltag am 19. August 1967 wurde Schwerin zum ersten Einwechselspieler der Bundesligageschichte, als er in der 20. Minute in Bremen (1:4) für den verletzten Arkoç aufs Feld kam. Das International Football Association Board hatte zur Saison 1967/68 erstmals einen Wechsel erlaubt.

Trotz der leistungsstarken Neuzugänge mit Werner Krämer und Franz-Josef Hönig belegte der HSV mit dem 13. Rang erneut einen hinteren Platz in der Bundesliga. Am 6. September 1967 stand Schwerin im Europapokal der Pokalsieger beim 5:3-Heimerfolg gegen Randers Freja im Tor. Er verließ nach Rundenende den HSV und spielte ab der Saison 1968/69, wie auch Kollege Willi Giesemann, in der damals zweitklassigen Fußball-Regionalliga Nord beim HSV Barmbek-Uhlenhorst.

Bei den Blau-Gelben von "BU" erlebte der Torhüter in der Saison 1970/71 unter Trainer Edgar "Edu" Preuß und an der Seite von Mitspielern wie Horst Engel, Willi Giesemann, Klaus Fock, Rolf Höfert, Harald Münster und Ernst Kreuz eine erfolgreiche Runde, die am Rundenende mit dem fünften Rang abgeschlossen wurde. Im Sommer 1971 beendete Schwerin nach insgesamt 47 Regionalligaeinsätzen seine aktive Spielerlaufbahn.

Er machte sich danach im Baugewerbe selbstständig.

Avifaunal Diversity in Important Bird Areas of Western Nepal ()
The rural municipality of Barekot in Jajarkot district is an Important Bird Area (IBA) in Western Nepal. In recent years, illegal hunting and trapping have increased in this area. Additionally, a hydropower project with a capacity of 410 MW is being constructed within Barekot. The present study aims to update the preliminary checklist of birds and to identify the underlying threats to the bird populations in this region. The bird survey was conducted in Barekot over four days in the late winter / early spring of 2021. Direct field observation, surveys of key informants, a literature review and photography were the main tools used for data collection. The study revealed 87 bird species belonging to 10 orders and 34 families. The birds most commonly recorded belong to the Muscicapidae family, order Passeriformes. Among the recorded species, two are on the IUCN Red List of Nationally Vulnerable species, five are listed in CITES Appendix II, and one species features in CITES Appendix I. Approximately 82% of the bird species recorded were of resident types. Despite a decline in bird diversity, Barekot's unique geographical location still makes it an important IBA in Nepal. Bird numbers have plummeted due to human intrusion and disturbance, and modifications to natural systems. Based on our findings, we recommend landscape-level research on the impacts of hydropower projects, roads, poaching, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Future conservation efforts should also emphasize the prevention of habitat fragmentation and raising public awareness.
