These conditions apply to all chartering of aircraft organised by Eclipse Air Charter Inc. ("Eclipse Air Charter") to the exclusion of all other terms, conditions, warranties and representations except any specifically agreed between the Parties in writing.
1.7 "Charter Contract" shall mean the contract between the Charterer and the Operator for operation of the Flight Schedule.
1.9 "General Terms" shall mean the general terms and conditions set out below.
1.13 "STD" means the scheduled time of departure in the Flight Schedule.
2.1 Eclipse Air Charter shall arrange that the Operator provides the Aircraft manned, maintained, equipped and fuelled for the Flight Schedule. The Charterer agrees that the carriage will be provided by the Operator who will have sole responsibility for the operation of the Flight Schedule and maintenance and operation of the Aircraft. The Charterer accepts that Eclipse Air Charter acts only as agent for the Charterer and the Operator in arrangement of the Charter Contract. The Charterer also accepts that the crew of the Aircraft are the servants and agents of the Operator and shall be authorised to take instructions only from the Operator unless otherwise agreed by the Operator in writing prior to the commencement of the Flight Schedule.
2.2 If at any time prior to the STD, the Aircraft becomes unavailable or unserviceable for any reason whatsoever prior to commencement of the Flight Schedule, Eclipse Air Charter will endeavour to find another suitable operator at the same price. Should this prove to be impossible, Eclipse Air Charter will endeavour to find an alternative operator and/or Aircraft as at close a price as possible to the Charter Price and put such possibility to the Charterer for acceptance. If Eclipse Air Charter is not able to substitute another Aircraft or the Charterer does not accept any available alternative, Eclipse Air Charter shall return the Charter Price to the Charterer and shall not be under any further liability whatsoever to the Charterer. However, the Charterer shall remain liable to pay for any part of the Flight Schedule that has already been operated.
2.3 The Charter Price includes the cost of fuel, oil, maintenance, landing, hangerage, parking, ground handling and the remuneration and expense of aircrew during the Flight Schedule. All other costs, including, but not limited to licence fees, clearance fees, royalties, baggage screening charges, security charges, customs duties, airport and passenger taxes, any connections to and from airports, ground accommodation, ground transfers, cabin service, onboard satellite telephone costs and any other additional service costs whatsoever and howsoever arising shall be paid by the Charterer unless otherwise specified in the Charter Booking. Any such additional costs shall be invoiced by Eclipse Air Charter to the Charterer and shall be paid promptly by the Charterer.
2.4 The Charter Price and all other charges provided for in this Agreement are exclusive of value added or sales tax which shall be paid in addition by the Charterer at the rate applicable at the tax point.
2.5 The Charterer shall pay Eclipse Air Charter the Charter Price in the currency stated and at the time specified in the Charter Booking and any other additional costs agreed between the Charterer and Eclipse Air Charter.
2.6 If any payment is not received from the Charterer by the date specified in the Charter Booking, Eclipse Air Charter may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have in respect of such default, cancel this Agreement with no further liability to the Charterer and Eclipse Air Charter will be entitled to cancellation charges from the Charterer in accordance with Clause 3.
2.7 Without prejudice to Clause 2.3 above, the Charter Price is also subject to increase due to any variations whatsoever to the Charter Booking requested by the Charterer and agreed by the Operator at any time after the Charter Booking has been signed. Any additional charges shall be invoiced by Eclipse Air Charter to the Charterer and shall be paid promptly by the Charterer.
3.1 The Charterer may cancel this Agreement at any time prior to the STD by notice in writing to Eclipse Air Charter. Upon such cancellation, the Charterer will be obliged to make payment in full to Eclipse Air Charter of the cancellation charges set out below.
3.2 Eclipse Air Charter may apply any monies already received from the Charterer in satisfaction of such cancellation charges.
3.3.2 If, in the opinion of Eclipse Air Charter, the Charterer is unable to pay its debts (within the meaning of Section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986) as if the words "if it is provided to the satisfaction of the Court" were replaced by "if in the reasonable opinion of Eclipse Air Charter, or a petition is presented or a resolution is passed to wind up the Charterer, or an administration order is made in relation to the Charterer, or a receiver, manager, administrative receiver, or like person is appointed over the whole or any material part of the property, undertaking or assets of the Charterer, or if the Charterer makes a voluntary arrangement within the meaning of Section 253 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or a bankruptcy order is made against the Charterer or the Charterer becomes insolvent or otherwise unable to pay debts; or an analogous event to any of those in this Clause occurs in respect of the Charterer in any territory whose jurisdiction the Charterer is subject.
3.4 If Eclipse Air Charter terminates this Agreement under this Clause, the Charterer shall be liable for cancellation charges in accordance with Clause 3.1. If the Charterer cancels one or more of the flights in the Flight Schedule, the Charterer shall pay Eclipse Air Charter cancellation charges based on such proportion of the Charter Price as Eclipse Air Charter shall reasonably determine.
4.1 This Agreement does not constitute a contract for carriage. Eclipse Air Charter does not act as a common carrier or any other type of carrier in respect of any of its obligations under this Agreement and Eclipse Air Charter acts solely as agent for the Charterer and Operator. Acceptance or performance by Eclipse Air Charter of any of its obligations under this Agreement does not impute to it any liabilities of the Operator as carrier.
4.2 The operation of the Flight Schedule will be subject to the Operator's terms and conditions of carriage, a copy of which the Charterer may obtain on request from either Eclipse Air Charter or the Operator. The Charterer should be aware that, depending on the domicile of the Operator, amongst other things, the liability of the Operator to the Charterer may be limited in certain ways, including with regard to death and personal injury.
4.3 Eclipse Air Charter makes no representation or warranty with regard to the Operator and will not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss, damage, injury or expense suffered or incurred by the Charterer or any third party howsoever. However, nothing in this Clause shall exclude or restrict Eclipse Air Charter liability for death or personal injury arising out of its negligence.
4.4 The Charterer shall indemnify Eclipse Air Charter against all liabilities, claims and expenses (including legal costs and fees) in respect of any liability of Eclipse Air Charter to third parties (including but not limited to passengers) for any loss or damage whatsoever (including costs and expenses on a full indemnity basis) arising out of any act or omission of the Charterer its servants or agents or any passenger carried by authority of the Charterer.
5.1 As stated in Clause 4.2 above the Operator's terms and conditions of carriage apply to the operation of the Flight Schedule pursuant to the Charter Contract. These conditions shall include the following provisions without prejudice to the application of the Operator's other terms and conditions of carriage. In the event of any discrepancy between the Operator's terms and conditions of carriage and the following provisions, the following provisions shall prevail.
5.2 If the Aircraft, for any reason, whether before or after the commencement of the Flight Schedule, becomes incapable of undertaking or continuing all or part of the Flight Schedule, the Operator may at its absolute discretion substitute one or more aircraft of the same or another type and the provisions of the Agreement shall apply to the substituted aircraft.
5.3 If the performance of the Flight Schedule is prevented or delayed by the Charterer or anyone acting on its behalf including (but not limited to) any passenger arriving later than 30 minutes before the STD, the Operator may at its absolute discretion and without liability depart as scheduled or delay departure. Any additional expense attributable to such delayed departure shall be borne by the Charterer.
5.4 In the event of non-performance of the Charter Contract or delay caused by actions of third parties, labour difficulties, force majeure, including but not limited to inclement weather or technical breakdown or accident to the Aircraft or any part thereof, or any machinery to be used in relation to the Aircraft, the Operator shall use all reasonable endeavours to perform or continue the Flight Schedule but otherwise shall have no liability to the Charterer whatsoever.
5.5 In the event of non-performance of the Charter Contract or delay under Clause 5.4 above, the Charterer shall be liable to pay to Eclipse Air Charter such proportion of the Charter Price as shall apply to that part of the Flight Schedule which has been performed together with any additional charges and expenses payable by the Charterer pursuant these General Terms.
5.6 The Operator shall be entitled to depart from the Flight Schedule where necessary in its reasonable opinion and any additional expenses applicable to such departure shall be borne by the Charterer.
5.7 If the Aircraft for any reason is diverted from any airport, aerodrome or destination shown in the initial Flight Schedule to another, the journey to the scheduled destination shall be deemed to be complete when the Aircraft arrives at such other destination.
5.8.3 to decide whether and when a flight may be safely undertaken and where and when the Aircraft shall be landed.
5.9 The Charterer shall ensure that any goods to be transported are sufficiently and properly packed for carriage and shall supply adequate tie-down material and equipment taking into account all reasonable demands of the Operator and the captain and where necessary complying with IATA & FAA Dangerous Goods Regulations, [a copy of which is available for inspection at the office of Eclipse Air Charter].
5.10 The Operator shall be entitled at its own discretion and without compensation to the Charterer to use any part of the carrying capacity of the Aircraft unused by the Charterer, except by means of the carriage of additional passengers, and to use any part of the Flight Schedule unused by the Charterer.
6.1 No failure by either Party to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any right or remedy hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
6.2 Neither Party shall assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
6.3 This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law and the English Courts shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim or matter arising under this Agreement.
6.4 Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any third party, other than the legal successors of the Parties and third parties to which the Agreement or certain rights under or in relation to the Agreement have been assigned as provided under this Agreement, any rights to require fulfillment of any obligation under this Agreement or any other right whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Wojticzky Gyula (Tiszabő, 1887. január 15. – Kolozsvár, 1958.) magyar költő, publicista, szociáldemokrata közéleti író.

Életútja

Wojticzky Mór bádogos és Weisz Hani fia. Középiskolai tanulmányait a budapesti zsidó tanítóképzőben folytatta, de diplomát nem szerzett. Ezt követően az újságírói pályára lépett és a szociáldemokrata ifjúsági mozgalom tagjaként cikkírója, majd szerkesztője lett az Ifjúmunkás című lapnak. Ezzel egy időben dolgozott a Szabadság Munkásképző Egyletben is, s aktív résztvevője volt az Ifjúmunkások Szövetsége 1908. április 19–20-án tartott II. Országos Kongresszusának.

Már fiatalon verseket is írt, pályájának késői értékelője "az avantgárd naiv költőjét" látja benne, "afféle Hazafi Verai Jánost Ady, az expresszionizmus és a munkásmozgalom körül" (Bodri Ferenc). 1910 körül Ady körében találjuk, ennek a kapcsolatnak az eredménye, hogy Ady Endre verses dedikációt írt Versek a XXX. századból című kötetéhez. (Adyval való ismeretségének történetét több változatban maga is megírta-elbeszélte.) 1918–19-ben a Budapest Környéke című lap szerkesztője; az őszirózsás forradalom, majd a kommün alatt aktív politikai szerepet is játszik: tagja a gödöllői járási direktóriumnak és a Pest Megyei Munkástanácsnak, küldöttként részt vesz a Magyarországi Szociáldemokrata Párt 1919. június 12–13-i kongresszusán, ahol Kun Béla mellett fel is szólal, tagja a Tanácsok Országos Gyűlésének, s szerepel a Kommunista Ifjúmunkások Magyarországi Szövetségének Kongresszusán is (1919. június 20–22.).

A kommün leverése után Erdélybe emigrált, 1920-tól a Consum című kétnyelvű kolozsvári közgazdasági hetilap munkatársa volt. 1929-től nevével a Mai Világ című "független politikai napilap" felelős, majd főszerkesztőjeként találkozunk (Wojticzky-Kelemen Gyula néven), s dolgozik (neve feltüntetése nélkül) a Vas- és Fémmunkás című lap szerkesztőségében is. Ezzel egy időben, Kelemen Gyula név alatt szerkesztőségi tagja a Romániai Népszava című lapnak. Versei a Franyó Zoltán szerkesztette aradi Geniusban és Szántó György folyóiratában, a Periszkopban, a Kútban is olvashatók; ebben az időben főtitkára a temesvári Ady Társaságnak is.

Nincs adat arra nézve, hogy miképpen vészelte át Kolozsváron a deportálások időszakát. 1944 őszén a szakszervezeti sajtóban jelennek meg írásai, s 1947-ben egy új verskötete, benne egy "társadalmi eposz", amelyben a Kommunista kiáltvány egy-egy tételét önti versbe.

Magánélete
Házastársa Perlmann Mór és Fuksz Katalin lánya, Helén volt, akit 1910. április 3-án Tiszasülyön vett nőül.

Munkássága

Költészetét Iramok hátán c. kötetéről írva így jellemzi Gaál Gábor: "…konvulzív, gondolkodó fő és lélek, viaskodó és tépett szív, égett sorssal és rossz utakkal e sorsban… Egyénileg olyan lírai szférába vágyódik, amelyik természetétől idegen… Írja azt a sor- és strófaszerkezetében lazított, rímes, rímtelen, poénrímekre dolgozó, álzárt és álszabad verseket, ami Adynál történelmi kényszerűség volt, minden más későbbinél azonban modor…, erősen önállótlan Ady-magzat. Félreismerhetetlen Ady-szavakkal, frázisokkal, ötletekkel." A kötet végére helyezett esszéjében Wojticzky Gyula megfogalmazza a maga lírai elveit: a "pszichorealizmus" programnyilatkozatát. Gaál Gábor erről írja: "Az értekezés… felesleges. Semmi köze a versekhez. Wojticzky helyenként egészen mást versel, mint amit elmélkedik." Újabb köteteiben számos korábbról ismert versének variációival találkozhat az olvasó.

Born With Ambiguous Genitalia
The biggest issue is not surgery, nor hormonal treatments, nor even the criminal lack of psychological support. The biggest issue is shame, and how no one deals with it in a way that lets people know there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Alice Dreger
(PHOTO: LINEARTESTPILOT/SHUTTERSTOCK)
It was one of those messages I get occasionally, this time from a man who had suddenly realized we were just a few blocks away from each other. The writer's father was at a nearby Northwestern hospital, suffering from a terminal cancer.
"While trying to pass some time I went to ISNA's Web site only to discover that it was no more. [The Intersex Society of North America] basically saved my life. Wonderful people such as yourself, Cheryl Chase, Anne Fausto-Sterling, etc., have no idea how much of a difference [you made] and how many lives you have deeply affected. THANK YOU! It would be an honor meet you and shake your hand."
I offered to meet the next morning at the local tea place. And then I started wondering, as I often do with these out-of-the-blue communiqués, if this message was a fake. Was I being set up?
Jim's message made me suspicious because he was obviously a man and yet he said that he was a survivor of androgen insensitivity syndrome. AIS is a condition in which a human with XY (male-typical) chromosomes and testes develops along a feminine or intersex pathway because his or her cells lack receptors that ordinarily respond to androgens, the masculinizing hormones. Almost no Americans living with AIS were raised as boys. People with complete AIS (cAIS) are born essentially female—female in genitalia, and even less masculinized in terms of their brain than average women like me, since average women produce and respond to the androgens from our adrenal glands. So people with cAIS are inevitably raised as girls.
Jim told me about going to a urologist for follow-up care, only to hear the urologist say to the nurse, outside the door, "I don't deal with this shit."
And among those with partial AIS (pAIS), men who had obvious ambiguity at birth but who escaped sex change in infancy are really rare; for more than 50 years, most doctors have recommended that XY babies with pAIS and ambiguity be "reconstructed" genitally as girls. Surgeons alter their genitalia to look more female-typical, and take their testes out. Starting at puberty, these children are given estrogen treatments. I knew of a couple of guys with pAIS who had been raised as girls and had become men as adults, but they were rare. Rarer still were those raised as boys.
But the minute I saw Jim, I knew he was real. I knew he was real because he started crying, and couldn't talk. It was a reaction I'd seen before among people with disorders of sex development (DSD) who had been too closeted to meet another person with their condition, but who could get up the gumption to ask to meet me. I served as a way out of the closet, and so I represented the first human they came upon when they opened the door. I always tried, in my reaction, to signal simply, "Yes, you are a fellow human, and I am glad you are here." I always have trouble not crying myself.
I gave Jim a hug, and waited for him to be ready to talk. He began by telling me again that I had saved his life with my work. I said what I always say: "It has been my privilege." Which is to say: Well, duh, honey, who wouldn't save your life if she could?
Over the course of the next hour, Jim told me his story. (I relay it with his permission.) He was born with ambiguous genitalia—with hypospadias (where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis), with a smaller-than-average penis, and a herniated testicle. Against doctors' advice, his parents raised him as a boy. The doctors, of course, had recommended sex reassignment, as was standard. His parents did not resist because they were radical; they resisted because they were terrified and young and I'll bet they didn't understand why you would take a baby with testicles and make him a girl.
But back then, doctors believed, per the psychologist John Money of Johns Hopkins, that a boy such as Jim couldn't grow up to be a "real" boy—straight, tough, and manly. Money believed doctors could more "successfully" make such children into girls, a process that in Jim's case would have involved castration, removal of penile tissue, surgical construction of more female-looking genitalia, and a lifetime of lies.
Jim did get the lies, and then some. As a child, besides hernial repair, he had been subjected to hypospadias surgery as well as some penile "reconstruction." He told me the surgeries went OK, all things considered. The surgeon had not been overly ambitious. (I'm not sure I expressed to him just how lucky he was.) At puberty, without telling him his diagnosis or medical history, they shot him up with testosterone—trying to make him manlier—leading to unwanted breast growth. (High levels of testosterone can convert to estrogen.) Jim then had surgical breast reduction.
Still, they didn't tell him what was going on. He just knew he was different, and that he was supposed to be ashamed. Jim told me that he hadn't gone to college out of fear that someone might find out he was different genitally. This is the reasoning some surgeons still use for "surgical reconstruction" of genitalia—fear of someone being found out to be sexually atypical—but it doesn't occur to these surgeons that the problem isn't the atypical genitals, it's the shame and bullying. I told Jim, "Your genitals weren't the problem that kept you from college; the shame and the locker rooms were the problem." He nodded.
As an adult, Jim had one of his testes out, arising from a medical concern. This reduced his natural level of sex hormones, and he started struggling with depression. I don't think this is a coincidence; I've heard from enough people who have had depression after testicle removal that I think there is some association between sudden drop in testosterone and depression. Unfortunately, doctors can't study this well in the DSD population, because historically they have been too ashamed to talk honestly with their patients about DSD.
Jim told me about going to a urologist for follow-up care, only to hear the urologist say to the nurse, outside the door, "I don't deal with this shit." I told Jim I had heard similar stories from other people with DSD—of one woman who heard the nurse say, "The hermaphrodite is in Room 2," of another who read her chart upside down and thought it said, "Patient has not been told she has AIDS" when, she learned much later that it actually said, "Patient has not been told she has AIS." I told Jim I knew that this kind of treatment of people as medical monsters was worse than any surgery could ever be. "Soul-crushing" was the term I offered. He agreed.
Eventually Jim had gone and got his own medical records, to find out what had really happened to him. He uttered a sentence I must have heard 10 times from 10 different people by now: "I went out in the parking lot and started reading." In Jim's case, he discovered he had pAIS and that his parents had resisted sex reassignment. All alone, he read the diagnosis of "male pseudo-hermaphrodite." It was like being kicked in the gut. Although he had not been personally treated by Money, he felt clear that he had suffered the abuse of Money's messed up approach to sex anomalies.
Now 50 years old, Jim has found a terrific adult endocrinologist, a woman who isn't a specialist in DSD, but who gets that if she has a patient who needs her to learn about his DSD she needs to learn about it. She put him on a supplement to replace the testosterone he lost from the removal of his testicle. Almost immediately he started feeling better—more energetic physically and emotionally.
Jim has been married for many years to a woman with whom he's raised a child. I could tell from his tone how much he loves his wife and daughter. He observed to me, "If I'd been raised a girl, I guess I'd be a lesbian, and that'd be OK, though it's more difficult I guess, with our culture." He told me about how happy he and his wife were when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed.
Jim confessed to me he had had insomnia the night before—what with his father hospitalized—and so he'd been up much of the night reading my website. He said that he knew, from my website, that some people had objected to the move from talking about "intersex" to talking about "disorders of sex development." But, he said, "I love the new term, DSD." He said it captured his experience, that what he has is a medical condition. He doesn't have double sex, or double gender, as people seem to think when they hear the term "intersex." He has a DSD.
I asked Jim if I could write up his story. I told him I wanted people to understand what we tried to impress upon people through our work at the Intersex Society, what I've tried to impress through so much of my work: That the biggest issue is not surgery, nor hormonal treatments, nor even the criminal lack of psychological support for families like his. That the biggest issue is shame, and how no one deals with it in a way that lets people like Jim and his parents know there is nothing for them to be ashamed of.
When I got back to my office, I wrote to two other Jims to ask them to talk to the newest Jim in my life. One Jim I was writing to also has pAIS. He'd been raised a girl, and had become a man a few years ago. The other Jim had hypospadias, and had been through a gazillion "corrective" surgeries, out of the concern that he should pee standing up, like a "real" man.
It is no exaggeration to say I find myself adoring all three Jims. I fantasize someday the three Jims will all meet, and share an utterly shameless hug.
A postscript: While Jim and I were emailing back and forth after meeting, just after I finished a draft of this, Jim sent a note:
"Dad passed away at 9 last night. We're at peace. Sad, but at peace. His final gift to me was the strange turn of events that allowed me to meet you. Although we never spoke of my condition, he always introduced me as, 'This is my boy and no one could ask for a better son.'"

Antarctic total solar eclipse shows off shadowy beauty in space shots
NASA astronauts on the ISS witness the fall of darkness across the cold continent.
Amanda Kooser
Dec. 6, 2021 2:02 p.m. PT
The crew of the ISS piled into the station's cupola to watch the total solar eclipse of early December 2021 fall across Antarctica. The Russian Nauka module of the ISS appears on the right.
Usually, eclipse fans will flock to the dark path of totality of a solar eclipse, but that was a tall order for the eclipse that happened this past weekend. The full eclipse was only visible from Antarctica. The residents of the International Space Station, however, had a great view.

NASA shared photos of the eclipse as seen from the ISS. "Saturday morning, the Expedition 66 crew squeezed into the Cupola to check out the total solar eclipse that occurred over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean," said astronaut Kayla Barron. "Here the moon casts an oblong shadow on the Earth's surface. It was an incredible sight to behold."

The cupola is a module on the ISS fitted with multiple windows that give astronauts a stunning view of the planet below.
For another space perspective on the eclipse, NASA shared the scene as witnessed by the space-weather-monitoring Dscovr (Deep Space Climate Observatory) spacecraft. "This image of our home planet shows how Earth looked from more than 950,000 miles, or 1.5 million kilometers, away during the total solar eclipse visible in Antarctica on Dec. 4, 2021," said NASA.

People on the ground (or on board ships) who were lucky enough to catch the eclipse saw what looked like a dark, round circle overtake the sun. In places where the total eclipse was visible, the sky went dark for a couple minutes. The view from space was very different, but just as thrilling.

Introducing the updated Caberg Duke: Inspired by the popularity of the Duke helmet, Caberg have released some new colours! You've also got an internal sun visor and vents - this helmet is ideal for summer riding!
The P/J approval is a technical point: Principally you cannot ride a flip front helmet in the open position - it has to be closed in order to be road legal. Some flip front helmets are however approved for being used in the open position and in order for that to be the case they have to be "P" and "J" approved for safety. This motorcycle helmet is, so it can be used legally in the flip up position.
"After trying various helmets over the years I decided to buy another Caberg flip front helmet as I was very happy with my Caberg several years ago. The size fits perfect and the quality is excellent. It feels nice and comfortable without being too tight. The fighter pilot visor misses my glasses which is good as some I've had keep touching and sometimes pushes my glasses to my face. I did have to remove the chin wind guard as it was touching my chin. This is an excellent good value and quality helmet and the service from Getgeared is very good."

Sąd Ostateczny – dzieło sztuki ołtarzowej namalowane przez Rogiera van der Weydena, przykład późnogotyckiego malarstwa tablicowego w Niderlandach. Znajduje się w Hôtel-Dieu, historycznym hospicjum w Beaune (Francja).

Dzieje
Kanclerz Księstwa Burgundii Nicolas Rolin (ok. 1376-1462), jeden z możniejszych reprezentantów dworu Filipa Dobrego, zamówił u artysty dzieło, które miało być retabulum ołtarza kaplicy przy sali dla chorych w obrębie hospicjum w Beaune. Rolin jest także inicjatorem i fundatorem całego hospicjum, więc dzieło to de facto było ukoronowaniem całej tej wielkiej inwestycji. Niegdyś ołtarz był na co dzień zamknięty. Otwierano go wyłącznie w niedziele i w dni świąteczne. Podobną funkcję pełniły inne tego typu retabula. Ołtarz przez niemal całe dzieje znajdował się w tym samym miejscu, tak jest dziś. Co więcej hospicjum (Hôtel-Dieu) po dziś dzień pełni swoją pierwotną funkcję.

Opis i analiza
Dzieło jest poliptykiem, o całkowitych wymiarach 215 × 560 cm. Składa się z obrazu środkowego podzielonego na trzy części, z najwyższą osią środkową, oraz dwóch par skrzydeł ruchomych, większych umieszczonych na dole i mniejszych zamykającej górną część obrazu środkowego. Poszczególne kwatery są namalowane na desce dębowej techniką olejną. Struktura ołtarza jest w pełni zależna od trójpoziomowej kompozycji, będąca konsekwencją hieratycznego układu przedstawienia.

Ołtarz zamknięty
Ołtarz zamknięty posiada kompozycję o dwóch poziomach. Dwie górne mniejsze kwatery tworzy malowane techniką en grisaille Zwiastowanie – po lewej archanioł Gabriel i Maryja po prawej zwracająca się w stronę archanioła. Za nią stoi ozdobny wazon z liliami.

Poniżej dwie kwatery z przedstawieniami świętych Sebastiana, który jest przywiązany do pnia drzewa, jego ciało przeszyte strzałą, oraz Antoniego podpartego laską i trzymającego w prawej ręce dzwonek. Świętych adoruje para fundatorów przedstawionych w pozie modlitewnej, których malarz ukazał w skrajnych kwaterach – kanclerza Rolin oraz jego małżonkę Guigonne de Salins. Ukazani w splendorze reprezentacyjnych strojów naśladują modlitwę Marii, na pulpitach leżą otwarte księgi modlitewne, towarzyszą im anioły trzymające herby. Układ herbów – ukłon heraldyczny charakteryzuje gest modlitewny reprezentantów wszystkich stanów, którzy sygnowali się herbami.
Sąd Ostateczny Rogiera Van der Weydena (otwarty)

Ołtarz otwarty
O ile kolorystyka kwater ołtarza zamkniętego jest bardzo ściszona, liczący dziewięć kwater otwarty poliptyk uderza gamą intensywnych barw, z przewagą kolorów płomiennego światła. Centralną oś zajmuje na górze ubrany w czerwone szaty Jezus Chrystus siedzący na złocistym globie i łuku tęczy. Ukazujący swoje rany wykonuje prawicą znak błogosławieństwa, lewicą gest potępienia grzechów. Pasyjny wątek kontynuują dwie pary aniołów ukazanych na górnych skrzydłach. Anioły trzymają Arma Christi – narzędzia męki Pańskiej. Poniżej Chrystusa ukazany jest Archanioł Michał w asyście czterech aniołów grających na trąbach. Archanioł ubrany w albę i bogato zdobione wierzchnie nakrycie spięte zaponą z motywem maswerku w formie trzech przeplatających się kręgów symbolizujących Trójcę Świętą. Archanioł ukazany jest en face, przodem do widza, podobnie jak Chrystus. Uwagę zwraca bogaty ubiór i wyraz pełnej delikatności twarzy; co jest odmienne dla typowych wizerunków tego archanioła. W ręce trzyma wagę, na jej szalkach są ukazane postacie symbolizujące dusze zbawionych i potępionych. Obie postacie ukazane są w geście modlitewnym, zbawiony zwraca się do archanioła, wzrok potępionego ucieka w stronę nagiej kobiety wychodzącej z grobu, która wyciąga rękę ku grzesznikowi. Boczne kwatery tworzą dwa rzędy świętych. Najbliżej Chrystusa klęczą Maria i Jan Ewangelista, za nimi apostołowie i na końcu czterej doktorzy Kościoła (po lewej święci Grzegorz, Hieronim, Augustyn i Ambroży) oraz święte dziewice (Katarzyna, Barbara i Maria Magdalena).

Na samym dole ukazana została sfera ziemska. Tworzy ją krajobraz pełen pagórków, rozciągających się ku horyzontowi. W środkowych kwaterach ukazano grupę postaci wychodzących z grobów, zaś na bocznych grupy zbawionych i potępionych. Zwraca uwaga przewaga grupy potępionych, których gesty i wyrazy twarzy cechuje silny ładunek dramatyzmu. Największy tłum potępionych skłębiony jest w i przy otchłani do której wpadną. W oddali piekielnej ciemności widnieją płomienie. Natomiast twarze nielicznego grona zbawionych cechuje szok, nieśmiała nadzieja bądź spokojna pewność. Swoimi błagalnymi gestami usiłują zwrócić na siebie uwagę, aby ich droga do złotej rajskiej bramy była pewna.

Dobranie tematu, jakim był Sąd Ostateczny, było w pełni celowe, miało to skłonić chorych do modlitwy o zdrowie lecz przede wszystkim do spowiedzi, przygotowania się do pobożnej śmierci. Stan łaski miał czynić człowieka zdrowszym, gwarantować zbawienie po śmierci. Ważna była opieka nie tylko nad ludzkim ciałem, ale ludzką duszą, stąd artysta w swoim dziele podkreślił silny ładunek moralizujący.

The Shop at The Collection, 533 Royal Street
Free and open to the public. The book retails for $24.95 and will be available for purchase at the event.
As the host of the popular public radio show Louisiana Eats!, Tooker is passionate about food and the people who make it. Her new book gives readers an in-depth, behind the scenes look at Louisiana food producers and personalities interviewed on her show.
The book introduces the reader to stories previously untold with transcripts of 15 interviews with specialists of iconic Louisiana foods, accompanying essays and recipes and portrait photographs by David Spielman of the subjects. Tooker, a native New Orleanian, examines the place that food and race play on Louisiana's tables and champions the growers and food producers who are preserving endangered indigenous ingredients like Creole cream cheese and mirlitons.
Louisiana Eats! retails for $24.95 and will be available for purchase at the event. In addition to hosting the signing with Tooker, The Shop at The Collection will also be hosting its annual Member Appreciation Day and trunk show with Mignon Faget, Ltd. on December 7, giving readers and shoppers plenty of reasons to visit.

The Historic New Orleans Collection Centennial Celebration of Samuel Wilson
Saturday: Concert celebrating the life of Samuel Wilson Jr.
A Centennial Commemoration in Music Honoring
Samuel Wilson Jr.
Saturday, August 13 • 4–6 p.m.
Williams Research Center, 410 Chartres St.
Call (504) 523-4662 or email wrc@hnoc.org to reserve seats or for more information.
Samuel Wilson Jr. (1911–1993), noted preservationist, architect, and architectural historian, was known as the "Dean of Architectural Preservation in New Orleans." In celebration of what would have been his 100th birthday, The Collection is presenting a concert featuring soprano Thaïs St. Julien and pianist Peter Collins performing music reminiscent of New Orleans's past, which Wilson strove to protect throughout his career.
Collins and St. Julien will pay tribute to Wilson with a program of music referring to places in and around the city—from the Garden District to Esplanade, from Place du Tivoli (Lee Circle) to West End. They will also "visit" the World's Fair and Cotton Centennial Exposition and take brief excursions to Mandeville and Pass Christian.
In addition to The Collection, the American Institute of Architects, the Louisiana Landmarks Society, WLAE-TV, and the Tulane School of Architecture are also celebrating the centennial—stay tuned for upcoming programming from these institutions.
Please note, Saturday is shaping up to be a particularly busy day in the French Quarter. We suggest you give yourself ample time get through traffic and find parking.

Dear potential contributors, eyes-on-the-street and well-wishers:
Here are the questions that sparked this FQ project:
Who uses the Quarter to work, to live, to meet, to drink/eat, to shop, to protest?
Do enough people love it and care for it?
What do we need to do to keep it from atrophying into complete caricature and what hard truths and practices do we need to consider to restore its diversity?
If you have an opinion, I'd like to hear about it. This project will tell details of all kinds, of every single block in the Quarter and of New Orleans. Reviews, interviews, essays, stories, criticism. And links to those places and written histories that need to be remembered-leaving the obvious to the postcards-to dig up some old underused ideas and add some new innovations to our city center. Blog pieces, zines, broadsheets, articles, maps and other forms will be used in this project.
Mercantile Jackson Square Project 1850-
I am beginning research on the commercial history of Jackson Square since the addition of the Pontalba Bldgs. Feel free to contact me if you have primary documents, ephemera or first-hand accounts of Jackson Square retail, apartment dwelling or other commercial aspects pre 1950s. The latter years and the entire history of the artists colony will be tackled later.

Why we should study the French Quarter:
"Under the seeming disorder of the old city, wherever the old city is working successfully, is a marvelous order for maintaining the safety of the streets and the freedom of the city. It is a complex order. Its essence is intricacy of sidewalk use, bringing with it a constant succession of eyes. This order is all composed of movement and change, and although it is life, not art, we may fancifully call it the art form of the city and liken it to the dance — not to a simple-minded precision dance with everyone kicking up at the same time, twirling in unison and bowing off en masse, but to an intricate ballet in which the individual dancers and ensembles all have distinctive parts which miraculously reinforce each other and compose an orderly whole. The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any once place is always replete with new improvisations."

New Orleans Can Thrive: essays, links and photos of a resilient, thriving city.


When it comes to red hot boogie guitar, you can't get hotter than Alvin Lee, especially when he's firing on all fretboards. That's certainly the case with this aptly named 'Best Of' compilation. This unmissable 2CD set is jam packed with dazzling performances by the former Ten Years After guitar hero.
We hear Alvin singing and playing on 30 tracks, culled from the many solo albums he released during the years when he led his own bands, from the 1970s through to recent times.
Backed by top rock session players, old mates and his regular sidemen, Alvin sounds at home in a variety of moods and styles, from blues to rock'n'roll. He burns up his fingers and vocal cords on such favourites as 'Keep On Rockin'', 'Boogie All Day' and 'The Bluest Blues', and the action never lets up.
If you remember classics like 'Pump Iron' and 'Rocket Fuel', then you'll dig more recent examples of Alvin's craft from 'In Tennessee', the album that celebrated his earthy musical roots.
Expertly remastered by Jon Astley (who has worked on recordings by the Who, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison and many others). Superb sound – the best in the business!

Cancer Patients May Face Greater Risk of Shingles
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 9, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Newly diagnosed cancer patients may be at increased risk for the painful skin condition shingles, a new study finds.
Experts say development of new vaccines might help prevent shingles in cancer patients.
The study, of about 240,000 cancer patients in Australia from 2006 to 2015, found that any type of cancer was associated with a 40 percent increased risk of developing shingles, compared with not having cancer.

Patients with a blood-related cancer had the greatest shingles risk -- more than three times that of people without cancer, according to the recent study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
And those with a solid tumor -- such as cancer in the lung, breast, prostate or other organ -- had a 30 percent higher risk of shingles than people without cancer, study first author Jiahui Qian and colleagues said in a journal news release.
Qian is with the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
The higher shingles risk among blood cancer patients was present in the two years before their cancer diagnosis.
But among patients with solid tumors, the greater risk was largely associated with receiving chemotherapy treatment, rather than with the cancer itself, the researchers said.
Shingles (herpes zoster), marked by painful rashes and skin blisters, is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. The virus remains dormant in the body, but causes shingles if it reactivates later in life.
"These findings have important implications in view of recent advances in development of zoster vaccines," wrote Kosuke Kawai, of Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Barbara Yawn, of the University of Minnesota, in a commentary accompanying the study.
A shingles vaccine approved for U.S. use in 2017 does not use a live form of the virus and may be safe for people with weakened immune systems, including those receiving chemotherapy, the commentary authors said.
However, due to a lack of data, this vaccine is not yet recommended for use in that group of patients.
Also in development is a shingles vaccine that uses an inactivated form of the virus.
These advances suggest that vaccines show promise as a way to prevent shingles and its complications in cancer patients, according to the researchers and commentary authors.
Nearly one-third of Americans people in the United States will develop shingles, and about 1 million cases occur in the country each year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more on shingles.

The release of the sixth installment of the Terminator series has been delayed to November 2019.
The film was originally scheduled to come out in July 2019, but will now hit cinemas on 22nd November 2019, according to an announcement by Paramount as reported by MovieWeb.
But the delay is nothing to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent open-heart surgery, with Paramount reportedly insisting the move has been planned for months.
The latest output in the Sci-Fi series will see Schwarzenegger reunite with his costar Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Black Mirror's Mackenzie Davis will also star in the latest film, which is being directed by Deadpool's Tim Miller.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Cameron said the plot would not carry on from 2003's Rise of the Machines, 2009's Salvation or 2015's Genisys, labelling the latest three films "a bad dream", or "an alternate timeline, which is permissible in our multi-verse".
Last month, Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent emergency open-heart surgery, but later Tweeted his fans that "he's back" and thanked staff at the hospital that treated him.

Once Again, Minors Are Left Unprotected in Illinois
On Tuesday we reported that the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) would be considering whether to once again delay implementation of the Illinois parental notification law. For a short while on Wednesday, pro-lifers felt victorious: rather than further delay enforcement, as we expected, the IDFPR allowed the law to go into effect.
Unfortunately, the ACLU was able to convince a state court later Wednesday afternoon that the parental notification law is unconstitutional under the state constitution, despite the fact that abortion itself was still illegal in Illinois at the time the constitution was put into place.
So once again, minors in Illinois are left unprotected from the harms of abortion, and parents are left helpless and without knowledge when abortionists perform procedures on their daughters that carry substantial short-term and long-term physical and psychological risks.
But the ACLU's claims, and the state court's acceptance of their false claims to date, will be potentially disastrous to all women in Illinois – not just minors. What the ACLU is arguing is that any commonsense regulation of abortion is unconstitutional under the Illinois constitution.
Pro-abortion forces were unsuccessful this year in passing a state Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) in Illinois. Had FOCA passed, it would have enshrined abortion on demand into Illinois law, making it nearly impossible to protect women through informed consent laws, parental notification laws, or abortion clinic regulations.
So the ACLU has apparently shifted its strategy. Rather than working through the legislature (where such decisions belong) the ACLU is using the court system in Illinois to block a law that the majority of Americans and Illinoisans desire.

One of my favorite projects that I have worked on was designing an immersive retail experience flagship store for Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays.
My agency, Shikatani Lacroix, has intimate knowledge of the Blue Jays brand. We have worked closely with the MLB and the Toronto Blue Jays over the years on designing the first retail shop located in the Rogers Centre Stadium and a brand refresh across the stadium and corporate spaces. We developed a strategy to create a new retail experience that was not just about the merchandise. The goal was to expand and showcase more fashionable and everyday items while highlighting the exclusive products only available at the Jays Shop. The flagship store needed to feature innovative digital experiences that would immerse customers in all things Blue Jays and baseball and deliver a store that is not just about shopping, but a destination for Jays fans outside of Rogers Centre.
The defined objectives for this new retail experience were to create an emotional and innovative experience unlike any other in team sports retail. We came up with a concept called "Celebrate the Fan." It is a journey into the past, present and future of the Jays. It is a shop that provides authentic and exclusive merchandise in a retail experience that immerses the consumer in all things baseball and Blue Jays.
Guests are greeted with a dynamic and eye-catching digital entranceway and are then led through the store on an interactive journey including a digital hat wall and expansive digital signage. Digital screens around the store featured live game feeds, video connection between store and stadium, promotional messaging and memorable moments from the team's history. Touchscreen kiosks allowed customers to customize their jersey. Mobile communications and geo-fencing tying back to the MLB apps allow customers to extend the full fan experience.
The Jays Stadium Shop needed to capture merchandise dominance to entice and drive revenues with headgear representing the greatest opportunity for incremental sales.
Branded experiences needed to provide a strong degree of scale as sales peaked prior to the game, during the game's seventh-inning stretch, and following the end of the game.
Signs and merchandising needed to have a high degree of flexibility as merchandise styles and offerings change from year to year.
New Eaton Centre Flagship store needed to leverage the greatest in innovative digital signing to support the leadership role of the team.
Store and brand experiences need to leverage the new identity and branding of the team.
Shikatani Lacroix and the Blue Jays worked closely to develop a strategy for the new store, creating a space that was not just about the merchandise. The goal was to expand and showcase more fashionable and everyday wearable items while also highlighting the exclusive products only available at the Jays Shop.
The experience also needed to communicate the patriotic message of the Toronto Blue Jays as Canada's only baseball club. In addition to offering authentic team merchandise, official memorabilia and the latest fashion apparel, the flagship store features innovative and indelible digital design solutions. Guests are greeted with a dynamic and eye-catching digital entranceway and are then led through the store on an interactive journey including an animated hat wall and expansive digital signage.
Blue Jays fans had another win to celebrate with the opening of the brand new flagship Jays Shop in Toronto's Eaton Centre the summer of 2014. This store replaced the original store Shikatani Lacroix had designed in the Sears main level located by the North Entrance. The original location had gained great success, exceeding all sales targets, irrespective of the team's success on the field.
The new Jays Shop provides an immersive and all-encompassing experience that is not just about shopping, but a destination for Jays fans outside of Rogers Centre. The grand opening was a huge success with thousands visiting. There where crowds lined up to check out the new store and meet the Blue Jays players. The store staff shared with us that opening week sales were terrific, and they believe this great trend will continue in the months to come. There has been a truly overwhelming appreciation of the new store and digital experiences, not only from staff and the media, but more importantly from the fans. The Toronto Blue Jays shared they are grateful and proud of the experience SLD provided.

At the beginning of this new millennium, the earth has arrived at a historical point of inflexion. For the first time in history the world is becoming predominantly urban with more people living in cities than in rural areas. Many municipalities are hardly able to keep pace with the speed of the urban growth and face great difficulties to provide sustainable infrastructure to their citizens.
This is particularly true for mega-cities in developing countries that are most affected by these rampant urbanisation trends. The character of urban growth is often informal (unplanned) and takes place predominantly in peri-urban areas and the city fringes, resulting in a high number of unserved people, who are exposed to severe health and environmental risks.
Today's conventional urban infrastructure planning approaches are top-down, expert-based approaches which are most often disposal or discharge oriented. To combat the worldwide sanitation crisis, it is necessary that more participatory and sustainable approaches reach the cities.
These approaches must move beyond sectoral barriers and address 'integrated coverage' of sustainable sanitation including basic services such as water supply, excreta and wastewater management as well as rainwater and solid waste management.
The overall aim of this working group will be to develop strategies on how cities can adopt an appropriate planning, implementation, and management process that leads towards more sustainable sanitation solutions.

CDB 20: revised code of conduct in the area of the fight against money laundering
CDB 20: revised code of conduct in the area of the fight against money laundering The SBA has published the revised Agreement on the Swiss banks' code of conduct with regard to the exercise of due diligence (CDB 20). The now stricter self-regulatory agreement is an important component of the Swiss counter-measures for the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The CDB 20 will come into force on 1 January 2020 together with FINMA's revised Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance (AMLO-FINMA). https://www.swissbanking.org/en/media/news/cdb-20-revised-code-of-conduct-in-the-area-of-the-fight-against-money-laundering https://www.swissbanking.org/en/media/news/cdb-20-revised-code-of-conduct-in-the-area-of-the-fight-against-money-laundering/@@download/image/vsb_20.jpg
The SBA has published the revised Agreement on the Swiss banks' code of conduct with regard to the exercise of due diligence (CDB 20). The now stricter self-regulatory agreement is an important component of the Swiss counter-measures for the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The CDB 20 will come into force on 1 January 2020 together with FINMA's revised Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance (AMLO-FINMA).
The Agreement on the Swiss banks' code of conduct with regard to the exercise of due diligence CDB, which is issued by the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), sets out the duties of the banks relating to the identification of contracting partners as well as the establishment of controlling persons or beneficial owners.
The CDB 20 was issued by the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) as a self-regulatory agreement and was approved by FINMA. Among other matters, the revised agreement addresses the need for improvement identified by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) in the fight against money laundering.
Key amendments to the CDB 20:
Cash transactions: the threshold amount for the identification of the contracting partner has been lowered from CHF 25,000 to CHF 15,000;
Account openings without complete documentation: the rules according to which an account can be opened without all information or documents regarding the contracting partner, the controlling person and beneficial owner being made available have been tightened. After 30 days, the account must be blocked for all deposits and withdrawals and the business relationship is to be annulled in all cases if the missing information or documents cannot be provided;
Video and online identification: the FINMA circular regarding video and online identification has been formally incorporated into the CDB;
Abbreviated process by the supervisory board: the rules for the abbreviated process have been updated.
The CDB 20 will come into force on 1 January 2020 together with FINMA's Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance-FINMA (AMLO-FINMA), which was also published today.
The CDB 20 is published in German, French Italian and English. It can be ordered or downloaded as a PDF on our website.

Q: Is there a convenient way to print values to a JS chart from a CSV file without converting it? I saw this code on JSFIDDLE:

<!doctype html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Chart.js chart from a CSV</title>

      <canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

It's a chart that uses CSV data, but converts it to JSON before doing so. I'm hoping to make a chart that graphs CSV data from a url file without that extra conversion. Now, I am a newbie to Javascript, so I was hoping for some assistance and would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

A: There is a Chart.js plugin chartjs-plugin-datasource that makes it easy to load data from CSV files. By default, each row in a CSV file will be mapped to one dataset, and the first column and the first row will be treated as dataset labels and index labels respectively. You can also customize how to parse CSV data using options.

<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>

var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'bar',
    plugins: [ChartDataSource],
    options: {
        daatasource: {
            url: 'phone-market-share.csv'
        }
    }
});

A: I mean, if you've got the csv string, let's assume that the variable is csv
OS,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016,2017
Android,1.6,9.6,36.4,56.9,74.4,80.8,78.8,84.1,86.1

Symbian,48.8,44.2,27.7,8.5,0.6,0.2,0.1,0,0

first split it by newlines and then split it by commas like so.
const array = csv.split('\n').map(col => col.split(','));

Last Tango in Cyberspace: A Novel
We rated this book:
A new sense has recently emerged among certain humans — an enhanced form of empathy — and these individuals (known as em-trackers) are capable of making connections, providing insights, and seeing ahead of the curve. Lion Zorn is famed for his previous work in em-tracking and ends up accepting a case involving the death of a hunter whose suicide appears motivated by a sudden burst of empathy. As Lion Zorn meets with shadowy corporations, dangerous thugs, enlightened beings, and new subgenres on the rise, he discovers he's in a race against time to find something that could unite humanity… or accidentally destroy it.
Last Tango in Cyberspace is like a cyberpunk version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, combining associative thought, coincidences, randomness, philosophy, and a cast of social outcasts into a very peculiar, yet very immersive, reading experience. It combines the paranoia of Philip K. Dick with the social consciousness of Octavia Butler and the cagey forecasting of Robert J. Sawyer.
Some readers will have a hard time making it through the first fifty pages because it feels like not much is happening (although the author is carefully laying the groundwork for both the protagonist and the setting). But those who persevere will find a marvelously unique novel waiting for them.
My only issue is with the title, which is undoubtedly cool but doesn't fit the story at all.

Made it a few times now, it gets the big thumbs up from the whole family. (Even if the kids wont try the curry it gores with). You can vary the recipe a little; it doesn't hurt, as long as the ingredients are cut small.
Melt the butter and oil in a largish pan that has a well-fitting lid.
Gently fry the onion for a few minutes, add the carrots and garlic for a few minutes more, stir well.
Add the rice and stirring well, fry for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the Garam Masala and the Turmeric.
Add the vegetable stock, add the lid and leave to cook for 12 minutes without removing the lid.
Once done, give it a good stir, the rice should be light and fluffy and all the stock absorbed.
You can spice the recipe up a little with some thinly sliced, deseeded fresh chillies; added with the Garlic.
You can also cook with brown rice, but you may need a little more stock, and will need to lengthen the cooking time; probably about double.
