Aswijan Assignment: Part 16 – Ridiculous Own Goal Winner
Welcome back to the Aswijan Assignment, a Football Manager 2020 save in the fictional country of Aswijan – using a database created by @Chilled_Moose.
Our first season in charge of Khaliza Unidi had gotten off to a great start with us sitting in the Champions League places. However, all of the teams around us had huge numbers of games in hand on us.
The second half of our first campaign in charge of Khaliza Unidi began at home to perennial champions Aswijan Malikiy. We started really well with Francisco Trincao missing a couple of decent chances but – in true FM style – Malikiy went and scored with their first shot. They then took control and, despite us out-shooting them 17 to 11, we lost 4-2, but there were plenty of positives to take from the performance.
Other good news was that we broke the Khaliza Unidi record attendance in this match as 59,508 fans flocked to see the in-form side take on the champions (the previous record was 59,444).
We then went to Hamjar who, of course, scored with their first shot. I made three late subs and it just about worked as Calvin Stengs scored an 89th-minute equaliser. But we were the better team by miles and it was a very frustrating match.
Next up was former club Zagora Athletik. Could even they score their first shot of the match against us? Actually yes… but Aatami Begovic's effort was thankfully disallowed for offside. That came after 30 minutes, when Trincao had already put us ahead (with our 8th shot) on 21 minutes. Trincao then doubled the tally on the verge of half-time and, despite 21 shots to their 3, we did nothing else in the second half. However, Zagora did get 9 (nine) yellow cards, which I think is the most I've ever seen in a football match!
Another home game saw us go behind early on against Hadria only for Trincao to once step up to draw us level. And another triple substitution worked a treat as two of them combined for an 87th-minute winner, with Janik Haberer's shot parried into the path of young striker Michele Mari. This time we didn't really deserve the win, having been out-shot 17 to 11 and only having 44% of possession. But, we'll take it.
In other news, our Under 20s have absolutely dominated their league and gained promotion in mid-February with 9 games remaining then won the league a week later. We have the 2 top goalscorers and assistants in the league.
Up and down league form
Last year's third-place finishers Marrador FC then came to town and my decision to bring Mari in for his first league start paid off as he scored inside 8 minutes. But Marrador equalised with a direct move that begin with their goal kick, only for us to break from one of their corners and retake the lead with Stengs crossing to Sirajuddeen Christiansen. But Marrador equalised for the second time on 80 minutes, in what was the only highlight of the second half.
The bizarre nature of our performances continued as we managed to dominate 71% of possession against 3rd-placed Wabani but somehow lose 1-0 and only have 5 shots. Weird.
Our patchy form continued in a home game against Berche 08, in which we did absolutely nothing until the fourth minute of injury time. When this happened…
The best thing about it is the way Adam Hemmingsen peels away as if he's scored the greatest goal of all time. Hilarious. That's right up there with the worst own goals I've ever seen on FM, but for it to happen to hand us a 1-0 win with the last kick is just amazing.
At this point the league is looking ridiculous as so many teams around us have stupid amounts of games in hand, including Hadria having six in hand! We're currently 2nd, but will probably get caught by at least both Aswijan clubs, Wabani and Hadria. So I think we're technically around a net 5th or 6th.
But the poor form continued with a terrible performance as we lost 1-0 at 9th-placed Manouza, in which the well and truly out of form Stengs played a 5.9 that earned him a fine.
Next up was top of the league Aldaia, who've only won the 12 league games on the bounce! But we played really well this time, taking the lead through Stengs – who clearly loves being fined. However, he also missed a hatful of chances and Aldaia made him pay with an 80th-minute equaliser. But there was still time for Stengs to miss two more decent chances in the 93rd minute. In total, Stengs had 11 shots – which is well up there with the most I've seen – 7 of which were on target. Still, this was a solid result against what's clearly a good team.
We then got some decent news with our latest youth intake, from which 14-year-old striker Severino Bono looks an alright player. The rest didn't look too hot but we did get the brillantly named Kam Aguero and the star man of the Youth Candidates match with 2 assists was midfielder Arcibaldo Bazazobal.
From goal-shy to goalscorer
Goal-shy striker Ryong Nieminen's had gone 6 matches without a goal, but he brought that to an end with 2 goals in 2 matches. First up, we went to Fari and won 2-0 with Nieminen opening the scoring then a lovely strike by centre-back Hemmingsen. And the striker also scored the only goal at SCM a week later, in a game dominated by our holding midfielder Gustavo Assuncao, who played a 8.8 and notched up 7 key passes.
We now had 2 weeks off ahead of our last 6 matches of the season, while some of the teams around us still had 12 remaining! It was really strange.
But we continued to hold up our end of the bargain with a 2-0 win over Mufala Malikiy, thanks to a Proper screamer then Nieminen making it 3 in 3 late on. Then we drew 1-1 at Hadria Oskat, in which we handed a debut to 16-year-old winger D'Ambrósio Balkan who won a penalty that Stengs converted. We had Sylvan Hefti sent off on 71 minutes and they equalised on 74 minutes, because of course they did. So I slagged off the ref in the post-match interview and got slapped with a touchline ban.
A huge final four league games
With a touchline ban in place for the visit of Aswijan Siti, my assistant manager took the reigns and earned us an impressive 1-1 draw. Hemmingsen scored an own goal early on but left-back Thomas Ouwejan bailed his captain out with his first goal of the season on 66 minutes.
We then played really poorly but snuck a 1-0 win over Talat, in which Hemmingsen scored at the right end after 5 minutes. This left us in third place and just 3 points off the top with 2 games remaining, but all the teams around us – ridiculously – still had loads of games in hand. That meant even 6th placed Hadria had 4 games in hand and would probably catch us as they were 10 points behind us.
However, this latest win did apparently confirm Khaliza's highest-ever finish in Liga Regale. The club's previous highest finish was 7th in 2021.
We then went to Hadria in our penultimate league game and unsurprisingly lost 1-0, with Stengs yet again missing some big chances. And that effectively meant they'd easily finish well above us when they finally bothered to play their matches.
The big news from Liga Regale was that Aswijan Malikiy's grip on the league was well and truly over. Aldaia – the Europa League winners last season – lifted the title for only the second time in their history and ensured Malikiy would not be champions for just the sixth time in 23 seasons of football in Aswijan.
Aswijan Siti somehow managed to make a mess of their mass of games in hand, losing 5 straight Liga Regale matches. That guaranteed we would finish in at least 5th, and that ensured we would be playing in the Europa League next season! I'm not sure what happened to Siti, but I presume their players were knackered because they played 6 matches in 16 days – 3 of which were on 25, 27 and 28 April.
Our final game of the season was at home to bottom of the league and already relegated CSSC, who had just 14 points. Ridiculously, we had 29 shots to their zero but couldn't score – with Stengs and Christiansen both having 8 goalless shots, which is pretty unacceptable.
However, Hadria went and lost 3-1 at Marrador, which meant our point was enough for us to climb above them into 4th in Liga Regale. And that meant Champions League football next season!!
So, while I was pissed off about our continued inability to score goals, I was chuffed that we managed to qualify for the Champions League. We earned £34.49 million for our 4th place finish, which should give us plenty of cash in order for much-needed strengthening in the summer.
We finished the league in a record high position, with a record low number of draws and defeats – so all in all, what a season!
Join us next time as we review a very successful first season with Khaliza Unidi, our fourth season in Aswijan, and look at our top performers and key stats from the campaign.
I hope you're enjoying this save in the fictional nation of Aswijan. If you have any questions about it or want more info on specific players at Khaliza Unidi, just let me know in the comments or get in touch on Twitter.

'Personal Visit': U.S on Ilhan Omar's Pakistan and AJK visit after strong objection by India
US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price on Friday said that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was not visiting the country on US government-sponsored travel. Omar, who made history as one of the first two Muslim women elected to the US Congress, arrived in Islamabad earlier this week on a visit to Pakistan. The Congresswoman will stay in Pakistan till April 24.
READ ALSO: HIJAB-WEARING CRIMINAL BARRISTER BECOMES FIRST TO BE APPOINTED QUEEN'S COUNSEL
Omar's first day in Pakistan was dominated by a controversy over her meeting with ex-premier Khan who claims a Washington-backed conspiracy was behind his government's ouster. Washington has denied the claims.
According to PTI's Shireen Mazari, Omar had discussed Islamophobia and other related issues in the meeting with Khan at the PTI chairman's Bani Gala residence.
During her stay, she has met several important figures, including President Dr Arif Alvi, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Foreign Office officials, as well as PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
Price's statement on Omar's visit has come a day after she visited Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), where she acknowledged that the Kashmir dispute was not being talked about in the power centres of the US at the required level.
Meanwhile, Omar's visit to Azad Kashmir did not sit well with India and New Delhi condemned it in a strongly-worded statement.

Fish Declines Linked to Excess Nutrients in Coastal Estuaries
Sustainability Environment
by Alice Mitchell
15 June 2015, at 1:00am
US - Links between nutrient runoff from coastal land use, the health of the estuary as a nursery for young fish, and the abundance of fish in an offshore commercial fishery have been shown in a new study from the University of California.
The study, published the week of June 8, 2015, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focused on Elkhorn Slough and Monterey Bay on California's central coast.
Lead author Brent Hughes, now a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz, began studying water quality in Elkhorn Slough as a UCSC graduate student.
His earlier research showed that virtually every portion of the estuary is adversely affected by high nutrient levels, which stimulate the growth of algae, leading to low oxygen levels when the algae die and decompose.
The new study, based on data collected over the past 40 years, shows how low levels of dissolved oxygen (a condition known as "hypoxia") affects fish populations in the estuary and beyond.
"We found that declines in dissolved oxygen levels were consistently associated with declines in the diversity and abundance of fish in Elkhorn Slough," Mr Hughes said.
"In particular, we saw a drop in certain species of fish that we know use the estuary as a nursery ground for juveniles."
English sole is one of the fish species that uses Elkhorn Slough as a nursery, and the study found that low oxygen was associated not only with fewer juveniles in the estuary, but also with later declines in the numbers of English sole caught in the commercial fishery and scientific fish surveys in Monterey Bay.
"From a conservation perspective, these findings suggest that improvements in land management and reductions in nutrient runoff could directly benefit estuaries and indirectly benefit offshore fisheries due to the important role of estuaries as nurseries for some species," said coauthor Mary Gleason, lead marine scientist for The Nature Conservancy in California.
To conduct the study, the research team assembled long-term data sets from various sources on fish abundance, water quality, and oceanographic and climatic factors over the past 40 years.
According to Ms Gleason, the availability of these long-term data sets for Elkhorn Slough and Monterey Bay offered a rare opportunity to study the linkages between coastal land use, water quality in the estuary, and offshore fisheries.
In addition to English sole, many other fish use Elkhorn Slough as a nursery for their young, including other flatfish species such as California halibut, speckled sanddabs, and starry flounder, as well as leopard sharks and bat rays. The slough also supports sea otters, harbor seals, Dungeness crabs, and many species of birds.
"A large assemblage of species uses the slough as a nursery ground, and because it is the only major estuary between San Francisco and Morro Bay, its role as a nursery is important for the whole region," Mr Hughes said. "By looking at the whole assemblage of fish, we found that hypoxia affects the diversity of the system as well as the abundance of individual species."
Over the four decades covered by the study, Elkhorn Slough has received steadily increasing influxes of nutrients, mostly from fertilizer in runoff from agricultural fields in the surrounding watershed and the Salinas Valley.
But Mr Hughes said that dissolved oxygen levels have been highly variable over the same time because periods of high rainfall can effectively flush out of the estuary the accumulated organic matter generated by excessive nutrients.
In particular, the researchers found that strong El Niño events, characterized by increased rainfall and warm ocean temperatures along the California coast, were associated with improved dissolved oxygen levels in Elkhorn Slough and other estuaries.
In addition to bringing rain, El Niño can also suppress the upwelling of cold, deep ocean water along the coast. This wind-driven upwelling normally brings essential nutrients into nutrient-limited nearshore ecosystems such as Monterey Bay, but the deep water is also low in oxygen and may exacerbate hypoxic conditions when it enters the slough.
"In most estuaries we looked at across the Northeast Pacific, dissolved oxygen conditions responded positively in El Niño years," Mr Hughes said.
While nutrient levels in Elkhorn Slough are primarily affected by agricultural runoff, urban landscapes can also dump excess nutrients into coastal ecosystems. As a result, areas along the southern California coast are also being affected by nutrient enrichment and hypoxia, Mr Hughes said.
"We are finding hypoxic areas wherever we look," he said. "Nitrogen is nitrogen, whether it comes from an agricultural field or sewage or urban runoff. It causes algal blooms, the algae dies and sinks, microbial mats form, and as the microbes consume the algae they deplete the oxygen in the water."
The researchers found that climate can be a powerful moderator of coastal hypoxia, but the effects of climate change are hard to predict. Climate change is likely to bring warmer water temperatures in the future, and warm water holds less oxygen than cold water. It is also likely to influence the frequency and intensity of El Niño events, but exactly how is still unclear.
While more research is needed to develop predictive models of how climate change will affect coastal ecosystems, reducing the stress caused by nutrient enrichment and hypoxia will improve the resilience of those ecosystems and help buffer the effects of climate change, Mr Hughes said.
According to Ms Gleason, there are many opportunities for improving coastal land management practices.
"This study demonstrates the important connections between land management and the health of our estuaries and oceans. We need to have better dialogue between land managers and ocean managers - between farmers and fishermen - to ensure that land use practices are being improved to reduce adverse effects of nutrients on coastal and marine ecosystems," she said.
In the area around Elkhorn Slough, The Nature Conservancy is working with partners to reduce nutrient runoff through improved land management practices and treatment wetlands.
"Poor water quality is an important threat to some offshore fisheries and marine biodiversity, so it's critical to improve land-based management and reduce runoff," said Ms Gleason.
"In addition to managing nutrient applications, another solution is to restore or build wetlands at the lower end of drainage systems from farms. These treatment wetlands can collect, filter, and treat agriculture discharge water to reduce nutrient levels before the water enters the estuary."

Good bread lies at the heart of New York City's culinary life. Sure, other cities also have their loaves (San Francisco sourdough and Dutch crunch, Boston and its brown bread) but New York's bread culture runs as deep and diverse as the history of our town.
Doughnuts first hit American shores with the earlist Dutch settlers to New Amsterdam. Waves of Germans, Italians, and Jews brought loaves of their own, once exotic immigrant specialties that have now made their way to every street corner.
Today, these breads are a ubiquitous but too often unnoticed part of our everyday eating habits. Few pay attention to the rye hoisting their tuna melt or the bagel on their trip to work. Luckily, the city is still home to dozens of neighborhood bakeries, both Old School and New Wave, where the owners respect both ingredients and traditions, and you can buy rich, fragrant, and deeply satisfying New York bread.
The babka is pastry pretending to be bread, a classification it owes largely to the loaf pan in which it's baked. It's made from flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and more butter. Inside, you find a spiral of chocolate, cinnamon, or almond filling, and there's often a little streusel on top. Eat it with coffee for breakfast or dessert, and prepare to add a notch to your belt.
Where it came from: The original babka was a holiday treat baked by Jewish bakers in Eastern Europe (there are also Polish and Ukrainian versions). When the bakers moved to America, life got sweeter and richer, and so did the babka.
Where to get it: Fresh from the oven, nothing beats the babka baked by Breads Bakery, run by Israeli-Danish transplant Uri Schecht. If you're lucky, your local supermarket sells chocolate or cinnamon babka made by Greens Bakery, with almost more filling than dough.
We all know bagels, but how many of us know a great New York bagel? All it takes is dough mixed from high-gluten flour, water, malt syrup, salt, and yeast. After rising overnight, the shaped bagels are boiled in water mixed with malt syrup, then baked on wooden boards in the oven. The result is a fat torus with a crackly crust, a dense and chewy crumb, and a wheaty, slightly sweet, slightly sour flavor. How come the rest of the country keeps screwing up the recipe?
Where it came from: Bagels are Eastern European street food, originally sold by vendors for snacking on while you strolled. In the United States, the recipe was for decades a secret guarded by the bagel bakers' union. Only those cities lucky enough to have large Jewish populations got to try them. Then along came Mr. Lender, a bagel baker from New Haven, who perfected the art of freezing bagels. In 1965, his children leased the first bagel-making machine, which allowed their factory to make almost 5,000 bagels an hour. That let the genie out of the bottle, and we've been trying to put it back in ever since.
Where to get it: Start at Park Slope's Bagel Hole, where the smallish bagels are fresh every morning and the line frequently snakes out the door. Note that many good bagel bakeries will refuse to toast your bagel for you. A bagel fresh from the oven is perfect; toasting would only ruin it.
The bialy is not a bagel without the hole. It's made from a flour, water, yeast, and salt for a dough that's shaped into a disc with an indentation in the center. Into this central well bakers usually put fried onions, often mixed with poppy seeds. A bialy should be eaten when it's just out of the oven, so it's soft and warm and bit flour-y, with just butter or maybe a chunk of herring.
Where it came from: Bialys came from Bialystok, a Polish city that once had a large Jewish population. Unlike bagels, they never found a foothold in the rest of the United States.
Where to get it: I buy my bialys at either New York's best old-style Jewish bakery, Chiffon Kosher Cake Center in Brooklyn, or best new-style Jewish (and more) bakery, Hot Bread Kitchen.
Challah is a Jewish bread that has spread from the Sabbath table onto New Yorker's breakfast plates. (It makes superlative French toast.) Challah's rich, slightly sweet dough is made from flour, sugar, yeast, egg yolks, and oil. After rising, the dough is separated into braids that are woven together, often with 12 folds to symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel. The loaf comes out of the oven glossy and golden and redolent of a warm, eggy aroma. Some people slice it, but I prefer to pull apart a fresh loaf with my hands.
Where it came from: Loaves like this were an integral part of Jewish, and Christian, holiday celebrations in Eastern Europe. For poor Jews, the Friday evening challah was often only taste of sweetness in their bleak lives. In America, the challah tradition remained strong even as Jewish immigrants shed many Old World customs.
Where to get it: Industrial challahs abound in New York supermarkets, but I prefer my challah fresh from the oven. Bakeries with excellent challahs include Breads Bakery, Hot Bread Kitchen, and Maison Kayser.
Doughnuts are a fry bread,made from yeast dough that's been enriched with sugar, butter, milk, and eggs. Once the dough hits the hot oil, it sizzles and puffs up into fat golden rings that only retain a trace of grease (after draining). The earliest doughnuts were only seasoned with spices or fruit; today they've become magnets to hold all kinds of flavorings both sweet and savory, one weirder than the next. Many cities claim the title of doughnut capital, but New York, where the bread first landed, held the crown, even though neighborhood doughnut shops are largely a thing of the past.
Where it came from: Many European cuisines have a fried dough tradition. The Dutch variant, known as olie-koecken ("oil-cakes") landed in New Amsterdam in the early 17th century. By 1800, it had become known as the "dough-nut" and soon acquired the distinctive ring shape. As a schoolboy, Henry James bought his doughnuts at a bakery at the corner of 6th Avenue and 8th Street. The practice of covering doughnuts with all kinds of sweet glazes didn't begin until well into the 20th century.
Where to get it: My favorite doughnuts run the gamut, from traditional at Brooklyn's Peter Pan to Doughnut Plant's post-modern style to rustic apple cider doughnuts at various Greenmarket stands.
A "hero" is the monicker for the New York version of an overstuffed sandwich on a long roll. It's made from a loaf of Italian bread, which is baked with a crisp crust and a relatively dense crumb to absorb drippings from the filling of mixed meats and vegetables, oil and vinegar. The classic place to eat a hero is on lunch break at a construction site, the beach, or in front of the TV on game day. Prepare to spend the rest of the afternoon digesting.
Where it came from: Hero sandwiches were probably invented in Coney Island during the 1930s. They were a perfect food for muscle-bound Brooklynites to eat after a day of showing off on the sand.
Where to get it: Until it closed, Manganaro's, which invented the six-foot hero, had a lock on the hero business in the city. These days, however, I prefer the bread, and the heros, made by Parisi, one of the last remaining Little Italy bakeries, or from Il Fornaretto in Midwood.
When you order an egg-on-a-roll in a New York coffee shop, the roll better be a Kaiser roll. Crisp on the outside yet soft on the inside, a good Kaiser roll is a high point of the New York baker's art. It's made from white flour, yeast, salt, and water dough that's been enriched with butter, sugar, and egg. The result is a delicate, slightly crunchy roll, often sprinkled with poppy seeds, that has a clean aroma faintly redolent of flour and butter.
Where it came from: Originally known as Kaiser Semmels (German for "roll"), these rolls take their name from the rulers of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Louis Fleischmann, a native of Vienna, brought the rolls to New York in 1876 when he opened his Vienna Model Bakery at the corner of Broadway and 10th Street. Fleischmann's rolls were so good that you didn't even need to put butter on them, and soon every other bakery was copying him.
Where to get it: New York's Jewish bakeries still understand the value of a great roll. My favorite Kaiser rolls come from Chiffon Kosher Cake Center.
Also called prosciutto bread, lard bread is the porkiest of our New York loaves. A specialty of city Italian bakeries, it's a dense white bread, often ring-shaped, flavored with lard, scraps of prosciutto and salami ends, and maybe also ham, cheese, and black peppercorns. The best time to buy it is typically on Saturday, when it's fresh out of the oven and tempting Italian families shopping for their big Sunday family dinners. Tear off chunks with your fingers, but bring a napkin to wipe off the grease.
Where it came from: Lard bread is native to Southern Italy, where it was prepared for feast days in order to make use of every bit of freshly butchered pigs.
Where to get it: At your neighborhood Italian bakery, preferably Royal Crown, Caputo's, or Mazzola in Brooklyn, or Parisi in Manhattan.
The New York-style pizza slice came into being thanks to geometry, because the best way to divide a circle is along its diameter. It also didn't hurt that a pizza's crusty circumference proved a perfect hand hold for grasping a steaming hot slice. New Yorkers eat their slices belly up to the counter, walking along the street, even sitting at tables—but not (sorry Mr. Mayor!) with a knife and fork. Because a New York slice should be transportable, it can't be too thick, like in Chicago, or too thin, as in New Haven (where they don't sell slices anyway). An ideal slice is about a quarter inch thick, crisp on the bottom and on top soft under a blanket of mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Where it came from: Naples, where street urchins lived on pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the late 19th century, it came to America with immigrants from Southern Italy and found its first stronghold in Little Italy before spreading around the country.
Where to get it: We have a whole guide answering this very question.
For decades, the only fresh pretzel widely available in New York was the street pretzel—one of the city's original street foods, but today usually oversized, over-salted, and gummy. Then the craft beer boom led to growing demand for bar snacks, and what's better with beer than a lightly salted pretzel that's both soft and crisp? A number of small pretzel bakeries have opened up in New York over the last decade. The best of these follow the German style: relatively dark, dusted with a few fat crystals of salt, and twisted into a ring with one side soft and bulging and the other tapering down into two crisp edges.
Where it came from: The pretzel has been around for over a millennium in Central Europe. The original treat was probably invented in an early medieval monastery; the shape is said to resemble the crossed arms of someone in prayer. Eighteenth century Germany immigrants brought pretzels to Pennsylvania, and then a second wave from Germany carried them to New York beginning in the mid 19th century. New Yorkers discovered them in the beer halls and saloons of the Lower East Side's Little Germany and have been eating them ever since.
Where to get it: For a traditional German-style pretzel, I prefer the pretzels produced by the Bronx Baking Co. They also make a delicious bacon-wrapped pretzel.
A New York rye bread, also called a "deli rye," is meant for sandwiches, particularly fatty piles of pastrami or corned beef covered with mustard. It's usually made from about 40% rye flour and 60% wheat flour, as well as yeast, water, salt, and ground caraway seeds for bite. It should be dense and chewy but also soft enough not to pull out your false teeth.
Where it came from: This loaf's ancestors back in Eastern Europe were 100% rye breads. In the New World, wheat flour was cheaper than rye, and Jewish immigrants found they prefer the lighter color and softer texture of loaves made from a rye/wheat blend. In doing so, they gave up the original bread's dark flavor.
Where to get it: For a New York Rye with gusto, go to Orwasher's. For a softer loaf, try the ryes made by Chiffon Kosher Cake Center.
A perfect corn rye is the Holy Grail for dedicated New York bread aficionados. It's a big, leathery boule encasing a moist and dense crumb with a wonderful nutty aroma. It's made from a mixture of rye and wheat flours, with caraway seed optional. If you manage to get one home still warm from the oven, lock the door, bring out a bar of good butter, and leave your cares behind. Unfortunately, the old-time bakers who remember how to make a great corn rye are fast dying out. Luckily, the younger generation recognizes this loss and is now making excellent updated versions of the bread.
Where it came from: Corn rye, originally called "Kornbroyt," was originally a specialty of Jewish bakeries in Poland and the Baltic region. "Korn" means grain; the only cornmeal in this loaf is a dusting on the bottom.
Where to get it: The best Old School corn ryes come from Russ & Daughters and Chiffon Kosher Cake Center in Brooklyn. For New School versions, go to Orwasher's or Hot Bread Kitchen.
Marble rye is an optical illusion. It looks like a drunken version of the yin and yang symbol, with two opposing doughs competing for space in the same loaf. However, they're actually made from the same deli rye dough: the brown side is the same dough that's been colored to make New York style pumpernickel. No matter, marble rye on either side makes whatever we put between them taste better.
Where it came from: Marble rye is a specialty of the Jewish baking tradition. It will live forever thanks to reruns of "The Rye" episode of Seinfeld.
Where to get it: Chiffon Kosher Cake Center in Midwood.
Pumpernickel is in the eye of the beholder. In Germany, pumpernickel is a dark, sour, and dense loaf made from 100% rye flour and whole rye berries. A New York City pumpernickel is essentially a New York deli rye that's been colored a chocolate brown and often comes with raisins and walnuts. The coloring is either made from a caramel blend or a mixture of molasses and coffee, adding a slight bitter-sweetness to the dough. As we know, taste is as much in the eye as in the mouth or nose, so this loaf tastes completely different than a deli rye.
Where it came from: Like all our "New York" ryes, this version of pumpernickel has its roots in the Jewish baking tradition of Eastern Europe.
Where to get it: Orwasher's is the place to go for both a classic New York pumpernickel and the raisin walnut versions.

General Electric Company (GE) is an American multinational conglomerate incorporated in New York State and headquartered in Boston. Until 2021, the company operated in sectors including aviation, power, renewable energy, digital industry, weapons manufacturing, locomotives, and venture capital and finance,[3][4] but has since divested from several areas, now primarily consisting of the first four segments.[5]
In 2020, GE ranked among the Fortune 500 as the 33rd largest firm in the United States by gross revenue.[6] In 2011, GE ranked among the Fortune 20 as the 14th most profitable company, but later very severely underperformed the market (by about 75%) as its profitability collapsed.[7][8][9] Two employees of GE—Irving Langmuir (1932) and Ivar Giaever (1973)—have been awarded the Nobel Prize.[10]
On November 9, 2021, the company announced it would divide into three public companies. The new companies will be focused on aviation, healthcare, and energy (renewable energy, power and digital) respectively. The first spinoff of the healthcare division is planned for 2023 and to be followed by the spinoff of the energy division in 2024.[11][12]
What does General Electric do?
General Electric (GE), in full General Electric Company, major American corporation and one of the largest and most-diversified corporations in the world. Its products include electrical and electronic equipment, aircraft engines, and financial services.
What is General Electric called now?

The Lord is with Us
The psalmist describes situations of turmoil and stress as the earth giving way, the mountains being moved into the sea, the waters roaring and foaming, the mountains trembling, the nations raging, and the kingdoms tottering. And in the midst of all this, God says 'Be still'? It's a command. 'Be still and know that I am God'. God tells His people to trust that He rules over all and that He 'will be exalted among the nations'.
There's blessing in God's presence and He's all powerful. When we have troubles we can go to Him as our refuge and strength. He will help us. Wars cease when He utters His voice.
There's so much pressure coming against Christian believers today. There's hostility in the public arena and sometimes in family circles too. Society, in many countries today, puts pressure on Christians to defend their faith, as ethical and moral issues are constantly discussed without any reference to God. Everybody has an opinion of their own, but debate is not calm and logical.
The personal challenge comes to us today to be still and trust God. Our Lord, Jesus, taught us not to be anxious or worried about the future. Instead we are to pray for God's Kingdom to come on earth and for His will to be done. As we proclaim the truth in God's word, and praise and worship Him with all our heart, we push back the Kingdom of darkness and replace it with the Kingdom of Jesus. 'The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah' (Psalms 46:11).
Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for teaching us how to seek the Kingdom of our heavenly Father and how to trust Him every day. Help us to remember to be still and find our refuge from trouble in Your presence. Amen.
"The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah."

The China Machine Vision Industry Union (CMVU) welcomed delegates for the first time last week for the Spring 2019 International Vision Standards Meeting (IVSM) in Suzhou. The city is steeped in over two thousand years of history and its Classical Gardens and traditional waterways have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In contrast, Suzhou Industrial Park and Suzhou New District are testament to the modern wave of development which sits alongside the ancient monuments. In a location which truly blends traditional with modern, machine vision experts discussed established techniques and cutting-edge developments in the world of machine vision standards.
CMVU members benefitted from a training session from the chair of each of the standards committees and in turn, along with sponsoring company Bozhon, treated attendees to a fantastic dinner featuring live music and a masked dancer.
The GenICam meeting worked on the updates needed for the next main release, provisionally to be named 2019.06. This will have several changes, including adding the new GenDC (Generic Data Container) standard and updates to the SFNC (Standard Features Naming Convention) to support GenDC.
The CoaXPress meeting, chaired by Active Silicon CTO Chris Beynon, solved the remaining three issues blocking the CXP v2.0 release, setting a timescale for voting leading to a planned release in June, before moving on to planning the addition of GenDC in v2.1. The committee also discussed an interesting proposal to add high speed optical support to CoaXPress.
While Camera Link is still in maintenance mode, options for v2.2 were discussed again to see if there is support for adding GenCP to standardize camera control via GenICam, but no conclusion was reached. Following Steve Kinney formally stepping down as Camera Link chair, Chris Beynon was appointed as vice-chair – which has actually been the de-facto status for a few years.

Thousands of people from around the world bet on sports for several reasons. Many of those do it for pure fun or to make the game more exciting, whilst some do it for money. Well, whatever your reason for betting on sports, it is important to note that despite what many have known, sports betting is not actually a "get-rich-quick-scheme". If you wish to succeed or win consistently, you need to exert hard work, and consider solid preparation, enough understanding of the sport that you are betting on, strong money management skills, and of course discipline.
When thinking about sports betting, it is extremely crucial to acquire a very good understanding of your work, a start at GertGambell.net is great. As often said, jumping into sports betting with no proper understanding of the scheme as well as the game is suicidal. You will only be risking your hard earned money. So if you do not have the knowledge, then dont proceed until you are not yet knowledgeable enough. Check out someone who does comprehend the nature of sports betting, or read some books or articles online about sports betting. And, if you are going to wager on a particular sport, like football for example, make sure that you understand all you can regarding this.
A proper management of your capital plays an extremely crucial role in every gambling game. This is no doubt probably the most important aspect of betting on sports, but is also somehow just about the most neglected. Well, so far as I recognize the nature of sports betting, the first key to strong money management is always to make sure that that you're not planning to bet more than what you can afford to forfeit.
This is simply among the best sports betting tips I could offer you. The most important thing to remember when betting on sports is always to save a space for your extra money for betting. To put it simply, make an effort to set aside a certain portion of your money for betting and if possible stay with that bankroll, win or lose.
Remember that even if you bet on sports for money, winning money on sports is in fact not really a sprint. Based on psychological studies, should you bet your entire bankroll on one game and you simply lose, then chances are you are likely to chase your losses. But, if you attempted to spread your bankroll among a number of smaller bets and you succeeded in accomplishing this, you are quite likely going to generate a nice gain in the long run,but only if you do the appropriate homework. If you are thinking about chasing your losses, dont do it. As what many experts have said, there is no worse way to mismanage your bankroll than to chase your bets after a losing day.
This particular one of the important sports betting tips cant be stressed enough. One thing to remember here is that it's very easy to lose control when betting on sports, especially after a few tough losses. So if you find yourself losing more cash in betting on sports, try to disciple yourself. Dont get upset or double or triple your bets for this might only dig you deeper into losing.
Sports arbitrage betting is undoubtedly an unknown manner of betting in sports which make guaranteed profits regardless of the results of the event. It basically involves taking advantage of the fact that different bookmakers will set different betting odds depending on their opinion of the competitors? relative chance of winning an event. So, simply put, sports arbitrage betting is the situation when the prices of the bookmaker differ enough that he or she allows the sports bettors to back all outcomes of the event yet still generate a profit finally.
Also known as sure bets, sure wins or arbs, the sports arbitrage betting does apply to just about all sort of competitive sports. The technique may work in horse and greyhound racing, football, baseball and golf betting. Also, you can even apply your knowledge on arbitrage betting on a few of your non-sports events, such as political elections and even on entertainment awards.
Generally, many people have used the technique of sports arbitrage betting for one particular purpose, that is, to make a profit. They often use this somehow unknown betting technique realizing that by using it, there is no need for any expert understanding of sports or sports betting. This means that with the use of sports arbitrage betting technique, every bettor has got the chance to generate profits every time whatever the results of the big event or game you bet on.
Well, the one thing is for sure: bookmakers do know about sports arbitrage betting. However, they don?t create this case with their own prices. As you may know, bookmakers are only interested in making money. Since the money of the arbitrageur, a person who practices arbitrage, is as good just like any other punter?s and for the fact that that half of all the bets an arbitrageur makes in every single sports arbitrage betting will lose, the bookmaker is still more likely to value his or her own business.
Additionally, there are some instances that some of the bookmakers are opposed to the client making money from dealing with them, without bringing upon certain risks. Because of this, many sports arbitrage betting experts recommend taking significant measures to disguise your personal arbitraging and not to make it apparent that you are an arbitrageur.
There's two factors that play a role in the emergence of the sports arbitrage betting technique. One is the bookmakers? differentiation. In line with some studies, sports arbitrage betting opportunities do occur for the fact that most bookmakers that do not possess the necessary expertise, knowledge and resources to closely follow the event often wait for the leaders to establish the marketplace before adjusting their very own betting odds.
Today, sports arbitrage betting is in the state of popularity. It's now accessible to everyday people because of the introduction of the internet. However, there are a few barriers that prevent everyone from being successful. All things considered, sports arbitrage betting is not effort-free. Still it needs time, capital, organization and energy to make consistent profits.
A critical issue with sports gambling that you should find out about particularly if you are an avid gambler is the problem of "addiction". Online sports gambling activities have grown to be extremely easy and convenient for gamblers today. It is because it's possible to place bets online through a sports book that you picked. Sports books offer the player a huge variety of sports activities to choose from. Apart from this, they also provde the gambler free bonuses, promotion offers and excellent deposit options.
The benefit of sports gambling today definitely makes the sport all the more alluring. Not only does one save time but also energy and cash. Gone are the days when you've got to go long distances or even fly to casinos and racetracks. Gambling online is considered the rage not only in the US but all over the world.
"Sports gambling" in the US is regarded as illegal in most states excluding Montana, Nevada and a few others. One has to be certain that ones gambling activities are not illegal before one indulges in them. There are several gambling laws in the nation and it's prudent to be aware of them so that you stay on the right side of the law.
Apart from sports gambling being illegal, one other trouble with sports gambling is addiction. Addiction is actually a serious compulsive need. It can have serious repercussions on both the gambler and his family. There are actually various methods to understand if you have crossed across the line towards being a gambling addict. Gambling should be an activity which is fun excitement and thrilling. But when it stops being so and becomes a sport that's a most important priority that overshadows everything in your own life, it truly is dangerous.
If you find yourself having behavioral both mental and physical disorders due to your gambling habits, losing sleep or appetite, if you are hesitant to spend your "gambling money" on other necessary things on your family, when you cant wait to go out and win back your gambling losses, if your gambling activities take priority over everything in your life, should you be starting to be less responsible for the well being of your family, when you're losing your temper and patience as soon as your gambling activities are disrupted, if you lose interest in everything else that concerns yourself and your family, etc.
You do have a challenge with sports gambling when you find yourself agreeing to about seven from the above situations. This shows that you happen to be addicted or maybe in the process of being addicted to sports gambling. This addition puts your life at risk therefore you need to take control over your betting habits. It is important to make a gambling "budget".
Take cash from this account for your gambling activities and whenever you win you should put back the money equal to the quantity you bet plus one half of your "win" money. The rest of the money should go into your savings account. It will ensure you will have money for your family and your gambling activities don't take precedence over them.


NOTE: Urban Patterns is going to focus on more obscure and/or extreme locations in a number of posts over the next few weeks.
Satellite view from 3,000 km showing the location of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia north of Japan (Source: Google Earth).
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located on the Avacha Bay along the Pacific Coast of Russia on the Kamchatka Peninsula to the northeast of Japan. The city and peninsula are located several hundred miles to the west of an extent of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean (see above). The Mariana Trench is where the Pacific plate dives under the Asian plate on the Earth. Because of this, several hundred miles to the west are a series of volcanoes generated by plate tectonics, the most famous of which is probably Mount Fuji outside of Tokyo, Japan. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has a population of more than 178,000 (the overwhelming majority of which are ethnic Russians and Ukrainians), which serves as the cultural and administrative center of the Kamchatka Krai (a krai is an administrative division of the Russian Empire). In fact, more people live in the city than in the entirety of the peninsula. However, the city's population has declined by almost 100,000 people over the last 20 years. Russia's (and the former Soviet Union) largest submarine base is located on Avacha Bay across from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The city was founded by Danish navigator Vitus Bering in the service of the Russian Navy in 1740.
Satellite view from 15 km of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia (Source: Google Earth 2013).
He named the new settlement "Petropavlovsk" (Peter and Paul) after his two ships, the St. Peter and the St. Paul. In addition to serving as an administrative center and providing infrastructure support for the Russian Navy, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky's main commercial industry is fishing, salmon and crab meat in particular. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is characterized by a subarctic climate and about three-and-a-half times more snow falls in this area compared to Siberia though, due to its location, temperatures are much milder year-round. Due to plate tectonics, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is surrounded by high hill and volcanoes; see the header image of Petropavlovsk and Koryaksky Volcano, as seen from Avacha Bay (Source: Wikipedia).
Because of this, the urban grid in the city is characterized by two attributes: first, a large extent of roads throughout the city and along the coast curving in relation to elevation changes in the area, as seen in other hilly cities around the world, which Moholy-Nagy referred to as a "geomorphic" pattern; and second, the deformation of a series of small-scale regular grids to optimize the buildable area on the flatter terrain, particularly inland to the northeast of the original town. The oldest part of the city is located directly on the bay, east of the smaller peninsula extended and made somewhat more 'regular' in shape by the intervention of man over the previous 250 years, i.e. at the lower center of the above image.
Olga Rozanova has been labeled a Futurist, a Cubo-Futurist, and Suprematist (focused on geometric forms and a limited range of colors, see Piet Mondrian's Neo-Plasticism), all of which places her in the middle of the early 20th century Russian Avant Garde Movement. The number of works she completed is impressive both in terms of the quality, many of her abstracts are intricately beautiful, and quantity, given her untimely death at such a young age (see this Pinterest page). However, the quality and quantity of her work ultimately – and sadly – indicates her unfulfilled promise as an artist. Because of this, her contemporaries have largely overshadowed Rozanova.
Olga Rozanova's City (1916) is a wonderful abstract painting, which takes the city as its subject. Her city is all kinetic energy, the canvas almost 'alive' with movement. Her painting builds on the Cubist tendency to compress time and space into a single glance at a subject, which conveys a plenitude of information to the viewer. This, in itself, builds on the earlier Impressionist technique, which included movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience in the painting. However, in the case of Cubism, it is not the movement of human perception that depicted in the painting but rather the movement and energy inherent in the subject itself across time and space, which is both compressed and captured in the representation. Olga Rozanova's City is a brilliant look at all that is inherent in the city: people, buildings, movement, transportation, streets, setting, and light. The city she depicts is not an inanimate object but an animate organism worthy of our attention. I love this painting.
One of the few photographs of the Russian artist, Olga Rozanova.
Olga Rozanova (1886-1918) was born in 1886 in Malenki, Vladimir province in Russia. She trained at the Bolshakov Art School and the Stroganov School of Applied Art in Moscow. In 1911, she moved to St. Petersburg where she became an active member of the Union of Youth Group, exhibiting with them regularly from 1911 to 1914. She also attended the Zvantseva School of Art from 1912 to 1913. In 1912, Rozanova began illustrating books of Futurist poetry written by her husband, Aleksey Kruchonykh. She also wrote trans-rational Futurist verse (sound poetry), experimented with Cubism and Futurism in painting, produced abstract constructions, and created Suprematist embroidery and textile designs. By 1917, she had developed a completely individual abstract style of painting. After the Revolution in 1917, she supervised the reorganization of craft workshops in provincial towns. She died in Moscow on November 8, 1918, due to diphtheria at 32 years of age.


Why? What does that even mean???
As we are creating and building Tribe of Lambs we have been learning SO much about ethical fashion (vs fast fashion*) and conscious shopping.
After reading about Fashion Revolution Day (annually on Apr 24th for the tragedy that happened in Bangladesh, when Rana Plaza collapsed, injuring over 2500 and killing 1133 people) I began looking into #whomademyclothes. I got very curious as to where my clothes came from, who made them, and what their lives were like. There is a new documentary on Netflix called "The True Cost" which is also very thought provoking and eye opening.
We live in a very wealthy society, we vote every day with our dollars, make your vote count.
Give back to the people/planet.
I would way rather give our hard earned money to those companies… Imagine what the world would look like if every time we bought something, or paid for a service, it impacted another life in a positive way?! AMAZING!
Can I get it second hand?
There are SO many great thrift stores! Our family calls our thrift store trips "adventures" because you never know what treasures you might find in there! Especially with kids clothes, because they grow so fast there are many items in a thrift store, hardly worn and some brand new with tags!
Can I get a conscious brand?
Google it! There are so many out there- from underwear to jewellery to skin care to wedding dresses you name it!
If I am making a 'new' purchase and cannot find a social brand, I will opt to buy items made in a country with strong labour laws.
Note* Seed Yoga is a eco friendly, sustainable brand AND is made in Canada!
Conscious Consuming takes some practice and I am definitely still learning- one purchase at a time!
I would love to MASTER it!
I am so passionate about it!
If you have some tips to share we would LOVE to hear them at sayhello@tribeoflambs.com or comment on this post.
Live Compassionately. Shop Consciously. Together we Give.
