Lately I find that much of my cooking inspiration comes from going out to restaurants with few vegan options and being forced by hunger to order something I wouldn't ordinarily eat. Last Saturday, after a long day of marching and standing at the Women's March on Jackson, I wound up with some friends at one of the few places in town that is open at 3pm on a Saturday.
A glance at The Manship's menu told me that they served no vegetarian entrees, much less vegan, but a very helpful waitress showed me the side dishes I could have as a vegetable plate. One of them was Spanish Potatoes, and it turned out to be one of the best potato dishes I've ever had. Crunchy and spicy on the outside, creamy and soft on the inside, each little morsel was a delight.
But. You knew there was a "but," didn't you? They were fried. Now, please don't look at me like that. I've never claimed to be perfect, and sometimes, when I'm very hungry and there are no other options, I have tasted fried food. And in my defense, the waitress didn't mention they were fried, and they weren't very oily. But I could tell from the texture that these potatoes were fried, not baked.
Of course, I immediately started plotting how to get the same crunchy-outside/creamy-inside without using oil, and I realized right away that this is a job for my new toy, the air fryer. The air fryer works by surrounding the food with circulating hot air, and it allows food–especially potatoes–to get crunchy on all sides a little better than an oven will.
I knew that the secret to the soft interior was to cook the potatoes first, coat them in seasonings, and then air fry them, so I popped them into my Instant Pot to cook. And it worked! My fat-free Spanish potatoes came out delicious, probably as close as possible to the original without oil. The only complaint my husband had was that they were not spicy enough, so be sure to add more hot pepper to the recipe below if you like spicy.
Don't worry if you don't have an air fryer or an Instant Pot. I've included instructions for making the potatoes using a regular pot on the stove and a baking sheet in the oven. If you try it without "special equipment," please leave me a comment to let me know how they came out.
You don't need special equipment to make these delicious crispy potatoes. See the alternate instructions for stovetop and oven preparation.
Boil the potatoes until just soft using one of the following methods. Using an Instant Pot or pressure cooker: Place the potatoes in the pot with 1 cup water. Add one teaspoon salt, if desired. Seal and set to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes (use manual setting on Instant Pot). Quick release the pressure after 4 minutes at high pressure. On the stove: Place potatoes and optional salt in a saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10-20 minutes.
These look wonderful. Here is my question. If you don't buy canned beans, where do you get aquafaba from? And can you freeze it to use later. I skip so many recipes because I make my own beans from dry. Any thoughts? Thanks!
You can absolutely use the liquid from beans you cook from dry. I have heard that boiling until it's slightly reduced makes better aquafaba, but that may just be important if you're making a meringue from it. And I freeze mine in an ice cube tray and transfer to a freezer bag once it's frozen. I actually used one cube (1 tablespoon) defrosted for this recipe.
Curious if you will be offering the air fryer in your kitchen store any time soon? Those potatoes look yummy!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I too have ordered Spanish potatoes when there aren't other options available. It's great to be able to make them at home. I can't wait to try this recipe!
Oh this recipe sounds just delicious! I wouldn't have thought of the aquafaba here!
I heard that when boiling the potatoes before you bake them to add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water. It apparently changes the structure of the outer layer of potato helping it get crispy in the baking process. Didn't know if you had tried this process, but I will be trying it soon.
Just made these tonight! Delicious!! Can you make more similar recipes with different seasonings?!? Please? ☺☺☺.
These are fantastic!!! Thank you so much for yet another go to recipe. You continue to impress.
Just made these tasty taters! My husband loved them!
I used BBQ sauce mixed with Aquafaba in place of the tomato paste.
Then I low broiled them at the end for a bit extra crisp.
I just got an air fryer and can't wait to try these in it!
Will be making these just before game time Sun. I will enjoy with a good book. Thank you Susan for all your inspiration and nutritional facts which are very important to me.
Looks like a great recipe but can you tell me the serving size for 171 calories. You mention 1 g as serving size but that can't be it.
A serving size is 1/3 of the recipe. This recipe software only figures servings in grams, and I haven't calculated it that way yet.
Thanks for mentioning the March. I have always thought your blog exceptionally thoughtful as well as full of good recipes, but your decision to do so despite possible negativity catapults you to the head of the class for me. Thank you! Whole World is watching us.
Thank you, Laura. I decided that if I can't be me on my own blog, what's the point of having one? I'm not planning to inject politics into my posts all the time, but when something like the March is part of the story, I'll include it. If I lose some followers because of my opinions, so be it.
Could I use the water from canned garbanzo beans? Reason being I am on FODMAP for IBS-C and dry beans are not allowed. I know it sounds crazy but that's the way it is.
Did you peel the potatoes? The recipe doesn't seem to mention that. I love patatas bravas; wondering if you've tried making the sauce at home, too?
Nope, I left the peel on. I do have a patatas bravas recipe at https://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/11/patatas-bravas.html.
My husband and I tried it a few weeks ago with eager anticipation. We thought 1 tablespoon aquafaba and 1 teaspoon tomato paste did not provide enough moisture or coating power. We had to double it. It didn't look like your but it tasted ok. How can that small amount cover the potatoes??? I had correct amount of potatoes as I used a scale.
The aquafaba and tomato paste should just barely moisten the potatoes. If you use too much, it can be hard to get them to crisp up, so that's why I use so little. It's the paprika and other spices that you really want to make sure coat the potatoes completely.
this looks simply amazing, can't wait to try it! unfortuntely i have to stick to my gluten free diet but this is great, because brown rice flour is naturally gluten free, so i can enjoy it without having to rework the recipe.
thanks so much for sharing it! if you ever need more inspiration, i'd love you to stop by eatwholegreens.com for some vegan awesomeness!
These look great, and I can't wait to try them. I just bought an air fryer. Because I am sometimes lazy and don't like the cleanup, I might try precooking the potatoes in my microwave first. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the recipe!
Love these when at a tapas place. I will have to try them at home.
I hope you had a laugh that a restaurant named Manship was chosen after the woman's march.
Hi- I had a Power Air Fryer XL and I did not like how it cooked potatoes, they were firm in the middle and crispy on the outside. Can I ask what type you are using? Thanks!
This looks like a great recipe! Love it!
Thanks for sharing the simple and awesome recipe.
You know what's the crazy thing–it didn't even occur to me or any of the women I was with! We're so used to it as a local name that we didn't think about the word.
Very simple, easy to cook and delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Susan – Can you recommend a brand of air fryer or share with us what brand you use?
Whoops! I just now saw your comment about the brand you use. I'm still interested in any you might have heard good things about. I'll check into the link you provided.
Many people like the GoWise air fryers because they are less expensive, but I often hear about problems such as the coating chipping off the basket after a few uses or that the basket doesn't go into the machine unless you hold it at a certain angle. The Phillips has none of these problems. But it's more expensive and less "high-tech" because it has a simple dial instead of digital controls. I'm happy with it because I got it on a good sale, and I would buy it again. It's fine for 2 people but I would want a bigger one for 3 or more.
Everything I've read online about air fryers says you use "just a little oil," but you make it sound like you don't really have to use oil at all. True? You have success without any oil? I really hate oil, and don't want to use it. Thinking of investing in an air fryer if I can truly use it without oil. Thanks for your reply!
You can use an air fryer without oil, just like you can use an oven or a skillet without oil. The results won't be the same as with oil, but if you're used to food without oil, you may not mind. The instructions call for a little oil because most people are hoping to replicate fried food with less oil and don't mind using a little oil if they can have good results. Oil does seal in moisture while crisping the outside of the food, and you won't get that same texture from oil-free air fried foods.
If you want to see the kinds of things people are making in their air fryers without oil, please join my Facebook group FatFree Vegan Air Fryers.
These potatoes looks amazing and your new site looks gorgeous, Susan! You are the BEST! Keep up the great work!!
Omg! Looks like a great healthy recipe. I can't wait to try making these fat free Spanish potatoes at home and you can do it in a pressure cooker, even easier.
I made these potatoes by first steaming them on the stove, and then baking them in my regular oven. They came out crispy on the outside, soft and smooth on the inside. And the spices stuck nicely to the potatoes and made them very tasty! Thanks so very much for the recipe! My non-vegan family enjoyed them too!
Have you tried this recipe using sweet potatoes. Sounds wonderful.
I tried it and loved it. Great recipe! This is something I'll definitely for thanksgiving this weekend. Yummm!
Wow Susan, these were delicious! My husband ate two servings and didn't leave any for the kids. Let us know if you try any other flavor profiles with these. I'm sure there could be endless variations.


I recently purchased a house, built in about 2006, that has a pool controlled by a Jandy Aqualink RS with a PDA. Yesterday the Aqualink was malfunctioning and so I turned to the internet for advice in resetting etc, and now it seems to be working correctly again. However almost everywhere I read, it sounds like I should have an internal control panel somewhere. I haven't been able to find any separate internal control panel, just the power center with the pool equipment and the little handheld PDA. Is it possible I don't have a separate internal control panel, or is it just hidden away somewhere? I tried googling for an answer but I keep just coming up with information on the panels, not whether it is possible that I don't have one.
The buss highlighted in yellow is where remotes to the system connect. your PDA transmitter connects there, and if you have a chlorine generator, it would also connect here. Those two would have a wire that runs directly to the corresponding component.
If you had an indoor remote, you would have a wire connected to that buss, then the wire, if you followed it, would disappear into a conduit. A spa side remote would use a different buss, the one with more than four wires, right next door to it.
You don't need a internal control panel if you have a PDA. My system doesn't have one.
I'll add to gwegan's response..
You don't need the panel, the PDA takes it's place but you can / should look into getting an Autelis so you can break away from that clunky old PDA and control your pool with your smartphone or computer anyplace you have an internet connection for much cheaper (and better) than the Zodiac/Jandy solution. The one I linked is probably the best one for you but if you post in their forum they will get you hooked up with the right one. I must add that you either need wired Ethernet nearby or use a WiFi Bridge like depicted below.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will check that bus for a wire when I get home.
I will also definitely look into the Autelis too, my PDA is very old and worn and would probably need replacing sometime anyway and the Autelis looks like it is actually cheaper. Is installing/configuring the Autelis fairly easy for a novice like me, or would I need to get it professionally installed? I can handle simple router configuration etc, but I don't have much experience beyond that.
I installed mine as you see but I'm pretty good with networking stuff. It connects directly to the 4-wire RS-485 bus in the diagram above and then to your local network at your house. You then just log into it's webpage to control your pool with it. I have it talking to my home automation system and do a lot with it. The other two black boxes and power supplies you see are to control my variable speed pump. with my home automation system. Autelis is pretty good about helping set it up through their forum support. If you can connect your phone to your home WiFi you can connect a bridge too as they are pretty self explanatory now with walk through instructions basically now. Some of them just connect through the WPS button on your Router too now. You then plug the ethernet cable from the bridge into the Autelis with the autelis connected to the Jandy board as described above. The Autelis recognizes your system and lets you connect to it. It even has a web app for your phone. This is $300. A PDA is more. A new Jandy Aqualink compatible with the iAqualink and then buying the iAqualink itself is a LOT MORE AND you can only connect to your system through THEIR website. This keeps is all under your control.
Here's a screen shot of it on my phone. It replicates the wired indoor panel. I'm 60 miles from home right now.

Anna & Daniel's special day is filled with family, fun and is a true celebration of love. Anna was such an incredibly lovely bride to work with. She and her mom brought smiles to our studio with each and every visit! We love the flow of HB6622 paired with the OY1000 belt for her laid back, Brooklyn wedding at one of our favorite venues, the Green Building. Thank you so much to Max Flatow for sharing it with us and congratulations to a lovely bride, and very lucky groom!
Anna: Daniel and I have known each other for nearly our entire lives. While our parents have been friends for 20 years, we didn't notice each other until college. During my freshman year, Daniel was living in Germany. We started talking one day, and emailed every day after that. At the end of the spring semester, I hopped a plane and flew to Munich for our first date. An hour into our date, we both knew that we were in love and this was it.
Anna: While we knew instantly that we were going to be a serious thing, getting engaged took much longer. I graduated college, we both attended and graduated from graduate school, moved in together, and started our life. Eight years later, we started talking about getting married, but with no firm plans. Last summer (August 2014) while on vacation, I turned to Daniel and said that I was serious about wanting to get married. We were sitting on a rocky beach in Ireland, over looking the Atlantic ocean, and we finally took time to talk about this. Neither of us could see any reason to not get married now, and I asked again. This time, Daniel said, ok, lets do this.
Anna: Our ceremony took place at Park Slope Jewish Center (PSJC) in Brooklyn. We both grew up there (that is how our parents became friends), were bar and bat mitzvahed there, and felt that it was our second home. We immediately knew that we had to be married there. It was such a meaningful space for us previously, but is even more meaningful for us now. Our reception was at the Green Building (also Brooklyn). After touring dozens of venue options, we saw the Green Building and fell in love. The relaxed, fun, and Brooklyn vibe appealed to us instantly.
Anna: My favorite part of the day was the bedeken. This is a traditional Jewish ceremony where the groom is danced in by both families to see the bride and make sure that she is the right woman. Everyone was so happy that our wedding was finally here, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire room. Seeing Dan come in laughing, dancing, and singing with our fathers, brothers, cousins, and friends was spectacular. I was sitting with our mothers, sisters (in-laws too), cousins, and friends, and we could hear them coming from the street through the garden, into the building. As soon as we met eyes, we both started crying and laughing simultaneously and felt the love and joy that surrounded us.
Anna: I have a couple favorite photos. One of me wiping a tear away while sitting is from the bedeken. There are couple photos of dancing during our hora which show how much fun we were all having, especially one with me and my dad which shows the fluidity of the dress really well.
It's the week of HB6365! The softness and delicate movement of this dress make it such a beautiful choice for spring and summer weddings, and Chrissy's is no exception. She is so elegantly styled with our OY1000 belt at her seaside affair at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI. Many thanks to Oggi Photography for sharing and many congratulations to Chrissy & Jason!

As 5 Gyres' new director I'm keen to be on my first expedition, getting hands on experience trawling and doing what our organization does best; researching runaway plastic pollution. As an environmental journalist I've focused on marine conservation, in fact I've written about the Coral Triangle—the most biodiverse-rich piece of marine real estate on the planet. As a surfer living in California, I've paddled after hundreds of pieces of floating plastic, stuffing them in my wetsuit to recycle. But my story with plastic began as a kid in New Zealand; I thought plastic nurdles (pre-industrial resin pellets) were a natural part of beach ecosystems because there are hundreds of thousands of them on some of our most beautiful stretches of coastline. Plastic pollution feels more than personal and combating it has become something of a mission.

"The ocean is more than just a pool of water for me, it's my playground, church and place of refuge open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During my travels to some of the most beautiful locations in the world, I've noticed something that is consistent:
All this damage is coming from the work of the human hand and daily convenience in our lifestyle. There is something wrong here, either with the design flaw of plastic and its lifespan or simply because of people irresponsibly using or disposing of these items.

Blake Shelton Won't Be Tweeting Much Anymore
Billy Dukes Published: April 16, 2021
Blake Shelton's activity on Twitter has been censured and censored. The singer concedes that his rowdiest tweets might be behind him — he has even take the app off of his phone!
It's a stunning confession for one of country music's most prolific Twitter personalities. He built a following of more than 20 million on the platform with his mix of jokes, truths, pranks and conversations (often under the influence of alcohol). The latter category is what got him in trouble.
During a media session at Ole Red in Orlando, Ryman CEO Colin Reed revealed that Shelton's team now handles much of his Twitter activity. While the singer's massive social media following was one of the things that initially attracted him to the idea of partnering with Shelton for the expanding restaurant and music venue chain, there's a lot at stake in 2021.
"He has a habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time," Reed says, with Shelton alongside him, smiling. Other artists have talked to the "Minimum Wage" singer about his language.
"Reba's (Reba McEntire) been hard on me. The Diamond Rio guys have gotten onto me. Oak Ridge Boys have talked to me about it," Shelton admits. "I finally just took it off my phone because, I mean, when you drink you got s--t to say. Take it off my phone — I can't say it."
That's not to say Shelton doesn't make appearances on Twitter occasionally. Recently he shared home footage of an opossum eating his dinner, and that went viral. From time to time he'll engage in disagreements with fans, but mostly the account is now promotional, if still entertaining. There's videos like this one, in which it's announced that Snoop Dogg is appearing on The Voice on NBC on Monday (April 19).
At one point in Thursday's (April 15) conversation, the idea of Snoop singing at Ole Red was thrown into the breeze. Reed encourages that kind of level of star on the bar stages in Orlando, Nashville, Gatlinburg, Tenn.m and Tishomingo, Okla. The logo — a big hound dog — would work for the rapper.
In the meantime, expect more artists from The Voice to play the various Ole Reds. Shelton also let it slip that RaeLynn will be playing a residency at the venue soon.
Famous Singers from The Voice, Then + Now
Ten years (and counting) made a huge difference for many of the most popular singers and stars of The Voice. Blake Shelton looks noticeably different, but so do some of country music's most memorable performers.
Winners like Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery wore baby faces when they auditioned during their respective seasons. The same can be said for Morgan Wallen, a forgotten castmember from the show who's transformed more than anyone else on this list of The Voice stars then and now.

Q: Java List to Map> were key is some property of E and value is E with that property I would like how to convert Java List to Map. Were key in a map is some property of the list element (different elements might have the same property) and value is a list of those list items (having the same property).
eg.List<Owner> --> Map<Item, List<Owner>>. I found a few List to Map questions, but it was not I want to do.
What I came with is:
    List<Owner> owners = new ArrayList<>(); // populate from file

    Map<Item, List<Owner>> map = new HashMap<>();

    owners.parallelStream()
            .map(Owner::getPairStream)
            .flatMap(Function.identity())
            .forEach(pair -> {
                map.computeIfPresent(pair.getItem(), (k,v)-> {
                    v.add(pair.getOwner());
                    return v;
                });
                map.computeIfAbsent(pair.getItem(), (k) -> {
                    List<Owner> list = new ArrayList<>();
                    list.add(pair.getOwner());
                    return list;
                });
            });

PasteBin
I can put forEach part to a separate method, but it still feels too verbose. Plus I made a Pair class just to make it work. I tried to look in to Collectors but couldn't get my head around to do what I wanted.

A: From where this is, you can simplify your code by using groupingBy:
Map<Item, List<Owner>> map = owners.stream()
        .flatMap(Owner::getPairStream)
        .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Pair::getItem,
                Collectors.mapping(Pair::getOwner,
                                   Collectors.toList())));

You can also dispense with the Pair class by using SimpleEntry:
Map<Item, List<Owner>> map = owners.stream()
    .flatMap(owner -> owner.getItems()
                    .stream()
                    .map(item -> new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<>(item, owner)))
    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Entry::getKey,
                   Collectors.mapping(Entry::getValue,
                                     Collectors.toList())));

Note that I'm assuming that Item has equals and hashCode overridden accordingly.
Side notes:

*

*You can use map.merge instead of successively calling map.computeIfPresent and map.computeIfAbsent

*HashMap and parallelStream make a bad combination (HashMap isn't thread-safe)

Q: Why do high current conductors heat up a lot more than high voltage conductors? 120 volts x 20 amps = 2,400 Watts
However, if I increased the voltage and lowered the current, you can also use a smaller wire size (more inexpensive), also have less heat and achieve the same watt Power.
1,000 volts x 2.4 amps = 2,400 Watts

*

*Why doesn't it heat up like current?

*To me this approach seems more efficient and less costly because you don't use as much material, so why isn't this common?

A: The term you're looking for is Joule Heating.
The heat dissipated in a conductor is proportional to $I^2 R$ where $I$ is the current and $R$ is the resistance.  Heating happens when moving charge (electrons) collide with the molecules in the conductor inelastically (that is, they transfer some kinetic energy to the molecule).
Remember, current is defined as the amount of charge passing a given spot per unit of time.  It makes sense then that the more charge passing a spot, the more collisions occur and therefor the more heat is dissipated.
This is why power lines use high voltages for transmission so that they can provide more power with less current.

A: In short, because the power drop across a circuit element is $P=IV$, and a resistor (or a piece of wire) experiences a voltage drop $V = IR$, which leads to $P = I^2 R$, or $P = \frac{V^2}{R}$. The first equation is relevant, which shows that for a fixed resistance, doubling the current quadruples the power loss through the conductor. So it is best to use a smaller current.

A: *

*The point is that the wire ends are not exposed to a potential difference equal to the full voltage. The wire ends differ in potential only by a (small) voltage drop $\Delta V = R\,I$, where $R$ is the resistance of the wire. Dissipation power equals $P = I\,\Delta V = I^2 R = \frac{(\Delta V)^2}{R}$. Now suppose you can transform $(I,V)$ while keeping the product $P_1 = V I$ roughly constant. Then dissipation power is $P = I^2 R = \frac{P_1^2}{V^2} R$, so higher voltage $V$ and, correspondingly, lower current $I$ results in less power dissipation $P$.

*Actually it is common to use high-voltage AC lines for high-power transmissions over long distances. In your home, you will not want to have kilovolt lines within millimeters from your fingertips however, cf. Brandon's comment.

A: Amps travel in a straight line and so must travel inside the wire.
Volts travel around the amps and usually outside the wire.
So amps will generate heat - because of the atoms and valence electrons create degrees of resistance - while volts , generally, will not. But if you use thick enough wire you will not notice the heat increase.

Mapping Brazil's Homicides at the Micro Level
Map of "hot" and "cold" spots for Brazil homicides
A spatial analysis of homicides across Brazil shows intense clusters of violence around the country's smaller cities and in rural areas, offering an insight into the importance of social factors as well as organized crime in driving violence in these regions.
An October 2014 report (pdf) by the Latin America Initiative of the Brookings Institution looked at six types of murder in Brazil, based on municipal statistics for 2011: aggregate homicides (see map), homicides of men, homicides of women, youth homicides, non-white homicides, and gun-related homicides.
By mapping out "hot" and "cool" spots for violence, the authors found that across the board, the most significant clusters of high homicide rates were seen in the northeastern states of Paraiba, Bahia and Alagoas, particularly around Paraiba state capital João Pessoa. Alegoas' capital, Maceio, was also a violence hot spot for several of the homicide categories.
In various other spots along Brazil's Atlantic Coast, as well as the central state of Para and the western state of Rondonia, large "red spots" also appeared for all categories. For three categories — aggregate homicides, men only, and non-white only — significant parts of Mato Grosso state, located between Para and Rondonia, were also hotbeds of violence.
For female homicides, fewer regions in the states identified above were found to be "hot" (see map), but an additional cluster of violence was seen in northwest Amazonas state, on the border with Colombia.
A small spot around the city of Rio de Janeiro saw extremely high rates of homicides for all categories except femicide, but this pattern was not repeated around Brazil's largest city, São Paulo.
SEE ALSO: Coverage of Homicides
The report's authors conducted regression analyses to test the relationship between certain social factors — such as poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and large-scale development programs — and violence in the regions of concern.
Some of the findings were predictable: social marginalization and single-mother households were associated with high homicide rates, while the social welfare program Bolsa Familia was associated with lower rates.
Other results were less intuitive: higher male employment and better state capacity were also associated with violence. To explain this, the researchers suggested that increased employment can create more targets for crime, and that states may invest more resources in high-crime areas.
The study also found that development projects with a high environmental impact were linked to violence against women, and posited that this could be because the influx of temporary workers for these projects produces a rise in prostitution. The authors also noted that the area along the Colombian border is a problematic region for sex trafficking.
Based on the findings, the authors recommended prioritizing policies addressing marginalization, as well as further studies looking specifically at how investment to reduce marginalization can impact violence. They also discuss the importance of developing policies that target whole geographic areas — rather than just certain communities — tailored to the unique problems affecting populations in these areas.
The Brookings Institution's report focuses largely on the role of social factors in driving up homicide rates, but it is also worth considering the part that criminal groups play in this violence.
Many of the states highlighted as violence hotspots in the report have a significant presence of powerful criminal actors. For example, according to Brazilian police, the First Capital Command (PCC) gang now controls drug routes that pass through Rondonia and Mato Grosso — both of which have high concentrations of violence.
Northeast Brazil has experienced an uptick in crack cocaine consumption, as the market has spread from the major urban centers down south. As of 2012, the region was reportedly home to 40 percent of the country's users of crack and other cocaine derivatives. The region is historically poor and under-resourced, but has experienced an economic boom in recent years. According to officials consulted by the New York Times, including Bahia's governor, the influx of money has fomented drug trafficking and associated crime. This could help explain the Brookings Institution's finding that higher employment is associated with higher violence.
Para state, which is covered in "hot" areas in the report, is a center of illegal logging and related land conflicts. More than half of deaths from such conflicts in Brazil were concentrated in this state in 2010, and state authorities have been criticized for caving to criminal interests and allowing impunity to prevail.
Meanwhile, official reports support the idea that the sex trade could help explain why higher violence against women was concentrated in different regions to other types of homicide. Amazonas — home to the "hot" zone for killings of women along the Colombian border — is the state that recorded the most cases of human trafficking for sexual exploitation in 2012 (pdf). It is also a key entry point for undocumented migrants, particularly Haitians. Nonetheless, neighboring Acre and Roraima also share similar characteristics, and very few clusters of violence were registered in these states, indicating that more factors are needed to explain the high levels of femicides in Amazonas.
SEE ALSO: Brazil News and Profiles
A focus on criminal groups does not, however, tell the whole story. It is notable that the Brookings Institution found that São Paulo state, home to what is arguably now Brazil's most powerful drug gang, the PCC, registered no clusters of violence at all for aggregate homicides, while Rio's red zone was quite small — mostly confined to the city itself. The clustering of high homicide rates in some of Brazil's more remote regions also suggests that social factors are key in understanding high rates of violence.
The report complements a 2013 report by the Brazilian Latin American Studies Center (Cebela), which found that violent deaths in Brazil between 1980 and 2011 were largely attributable to a "culture of violence" fomented by state weaknesses and generalized impunity. It focuses on a handful of states in the same northeastern region where the Brookings Institution found the most "hot" zones. These included Rio Grande do Norte, Maranhão and Bahia, all of which saw large increases in homicides rates over the period. Para also saw a spike in murders attributed partly to these causes.
All these factors — social conditions, the presence of criminal groups, and justice systems — must be taken together to understand Brazil's complex tapestry of violence.

Q: Extracting info from html using PHP(XPath), PHP/Python(Regexp) or Python(XPath) I have approx. 40k+ html documents where I need to extract information from. I have tried to do so using PHP+Tidy(because most files are not well-formed)+DOMDocument+XPath but it is extremely slow.... I am advised to use regexp but the html files are not marked up semantically (table based layout, with meaning-less tag/classes used everywhere) and I don't know where i should start...
Just being curious, is using regexp (PHP/Python) faster than using Python's XPath library? Is Xpath library for Python generally faster than PHP's counterpart?

A: If speed is a requirement have a look at lxml. lxml is a pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt C libraries. Using the C libraries is much faster than any pure php or python version.
There are some impressive benchmarks from Ian Bicking:

In Conclusion
I knew lxml was fast before I started these benchmarks, but I didn't expect it to be quite this fast.

Parsing Results:
Parsing Resutls http://1.2.3.9/bmi/blog.ianbicking.org/wp-content/uploads/images/parsing-results.png

A: You might give Beautiful Soup in Python a try. It's a pretty great parser for generating a usable DOM out of garbage HTML. That with some regex skills might get you what you need. Happy hunting!
Most comparative operations in Python are faster than in PHP in my subjective experience. Partly due to Python being a compiled language instead of interpreted at runtime, partly due to Python having been optimized for greater efficiency by its contributors...
Still, for 40k+ documents, find a nice fast machine ;-)

A: As the previous post mentions Python in general is faster than php due to byte-code compilation (those .pyc files). And a lot of DOM/SAX parsers use fair bit of regexp internally anyway. Those who told you to use regexp need to be told that it is not a magic bullet. For 40k+ documents I would recommend parallelizing the task using the new multi-threads or the classic parallel python.


The Treaty can be a pathway forward.
It was tough in the 1970s and 1980s in regards to our bicultural debate and Maori related issues. This was simply because we had been locked out of the debate over Maori rights and Maori matters.
In fact, our entire nationhood debate had been placed in a time bubble. It was all about Mother England and the land of hope and glory. So when it comes to talking about Treaty of Waitangi matters, my starting point is not about the execution of the Treaty in 1840, but rather 1975 – the year that saw the Treaty of Waitangi Act pass.
Not much happened after that legislation, until 1978 when Joe Hawke and others tried to use this legislation but were brick-walled, which led to their occupation and protest on Bastion Point. The rest is history.
In 1982, the Motunui decision, a landmark Treaty ruling - was issued supporting local Taranaki Maori against the Crown. The tribunal ruled raw waste from Motunui – one of the National government's flagship 'Think Big' energy projects – had polluted Taranaki fishing grounds, therefore destroyed local Maori's abilities to enjoy the rights they held prior to the arrival of others.
This decision for Maori had to be upheld - and was. We are now 36 years down that track.
Remember we only settled the first two major Treaty settlements in 1995 (Waikato-Tainui) and 1996 (Ngai Tahu). On reflection our bicultural debate was deferred for over 150 years given our total reliance on the crown out of the United Kingdom.
At this time we simultaneously faced-down huge opposition from those that benefited from the wrongful taking. Add to this the feisty nature of the bicultural group that laid the foundation blocks of this country.
We are all islanders – whether we came from the British Isles or the Pacific Islands. No one in their right mind would have purposely bonded these blood stocks given their unbridled nature and the fearlessness captured by seeking out new domains over horizons that others feared to challenge.
Perhaps Sir Edmund Hillary best stated this sentiment when at his 80th birthday he said "we have been bloodied and bowed but never beaten".
We saw this Maori rights debate introduced at a time of massive upheaval, given major decisions that were made during the Rogernomics era that were then placed on steroids by Ruth Richardson and the Bolger Government.
We today have arrived at Waitangi Day in a far better shape. We have a clear framework for settlement. Budget allocations to conclude them and due processes are in place to settle them.
Every political leader in parliament today across all political parties have championed, and voted for Treaty settlements. Any argument about the justice required for these settlements is over.
We are too mature now in this process to allow opportunistic politics about one standard of citizenship to be given any credibility. This issue of one law for all needs testing. Let's trade your one standard of citizenship to that of your privileged Maori neighbour. That is a very silly circular debate.
In the next 10 years, three issues will arise that we must give some headspace. They will be diversity, multiculturalism and the status and standard of Maori leadership.
The Treaty process requires us to provide the evidence of downtrodden treatment carried out by the Crown. Consequently it is easy for Maori leadership to continue to argue how badly we were treated. Undoubtedly we were treated badly, but there comes a time when rather than be burdened by the difficulty of one's history, leadership has to rise to shine a light on a far better future.
We just have to get used to the fact that this is how Westminster style constitution works. Every time a new piece of legislation comes before our House of Parliament, it must be vetted for matter such as fiscal responsibility, human rights, consultation and Maori rights.
Government cannot be let off the hook in regards to citizen's rights, but in saying that, Maori leadership is also going to have to invest in lifting the performance of our people across the board. If this does not happen, we simply copy the levels of inequality now evident in non-Maori communities and in that leadership.
So this Waitangi Day rejoice in the fact that this nation was not born out of revolution, like in the USA, nor was not born out of privilege and class of a monarchy. It was born out of a Treaty and that is our foundation document.
The fact that the promises made within that Treaty took over 150 years to be realised, is a matter of history. That is something we cannot change.
Just look around the new generation of Kiwis, the amount of Maori language with waiata and haka that now determines the identity of what a Kiwi is, and we start to see the evolution of an outstanding nation based on our bicultural founding blocks.

I was recently asked to create a Flash animation that would cypher random numbers until resolving, one character at a time, on a pre-definted word or phrase. I could have keyframed it, but it made sense to write a function so that the word or phrase could just be edited at any point. Here's what I came up with.
The basic idea is that every frame, the numbers next to the letters are all decreased by 1.. or any number we specify. If a number becomes less than 0 then the corresponding letter will be shown instead of a random number.
It has lots of arguments to make life easier for tweaking and changing.
So, with a textbox on the stage we're ready to go! For this example the textbox has an instance name of "target_textbox".
// ... and it crops up here.
// you could call this function on tonnes of textboxes at the same time.
// be tidy and remove the movieclip we made with the onEnterFrame on it.
// check this out.  the number next to the letter ie (D, 0) is zero or less, so add the actual letter this time, not the random number.
// this whole section is the equal and exact opposite of the above.
// Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience, tip your waiter and try the fish. Goodnight.

One of the earliest assaults on segregated transit in the South occurred in Louisville, Ky., in 1870-71. There, the city's black community organized a successful protest that relied on nonviolent direct action, a tactic that would give shape to the modern civil rights movement nearly a century later.

It is very likely that the novice driver to leave the road with a stream of cars that other, as a feat. After the vehicle – is not only a high-tech device to control a motor vehicle required to have significant amount of knowledge and skills, but also car – a very expensive thing. But what about the case when this transport is also not yours? And it is extreme on the road. The main idea of the future owner of rights – as soon as possible to find cheap but quality avtokursy. Teachers and driving schools are explained in detail what parts are manufactured car, and how interact with a variety of its components, and show how in practice to manage auto. Driving courses to overcome the fear of a prompt departure on a full car lane – and yet free of the streets in the capital city and no.
Rookie driver, find themselves on a busy street, not going through a very nice moment of personal professional development. Still, as every student of the university had previously been at school. But we should not think that avtokursy – this is just for beginners. So how often is it that the future driver is to learn to drive a car, but he has no money to buy such a vehicle. And skills are characterized by poor quality – from the head of efflorescence over time years. And if you have the right, but more than a year had not been for driving a car – should be right to refresh your knowledge and skills. After all, the roadway – the most rigorous examiner, and does not forgive mistakes. And the price paid for the mistake is sometimes too high.
I must say, quite often the person who got a car accident or had seen her, also not able to cope with the resulting trauma of the mind and completely waives any benefits offered by private car. But these restrictions do not always we can imagine afford. A good quality driving school – it's not only the skills but also giving sitting behind the wheel of a reasonable certainty. Delta Galil will not settle for partial explanations. Overconfidence harm in every case, but lack confidence in their own power is no less dangerous. The road and driving – this need to make decisions every second, they are truly depends not only on the integrity of the vehicle, but at the same time, your health and even life and health and the lives of other road users. A permanent decision-making – is hard work, and this work should not be underestimated. Knowledgeable avtoinstruktor – is not only a driver car, but at the same time, teacher, and psychologist. It is someone who can beginner help in overcoming not only ignorance but also fear. That's why we say that a driving instructor for the training – it is the closest friend, with whom we must find an absolute understanding. And then your path will appear you easier.

Progressives face steep odds in ousting incumbent Democrats
by Julia Manchester - 07/10/19 6:00 AM ET
Greg Nash - Aaron Schwartz
Progressive candidates are launching primary challenges against incumbents like Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), though many will likely face a steep climb in capturing the same set of circumstances that propelled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to the House last year.
Justice Democrats, the group that backed Ocasio-Cortez, has already announced its support for challengers to Cuellar and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), but has yet to recruit more candidates or spell out how it intends to help support challengers. The group spent only $2.5 million in the 2018 campaign cycle.
{mosads}Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats' campaign arm, has said that it will not do business with consultants who work with primary challengers, a restriction that has infuriated progressives.
Strategists also warn that incumbents are more prepared this time around than former 10-term Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) was when he was ousted by Ocasio-Cortez in 2018. Both Engel and Cuellar, for example, easily won reelection in 2018 and are proven, adept fundraisers.
Moreover, primaries are largely fought on local issues or are shaped by local circumstances, much like how Ocasio-Cortez also benefited from a diversifying district, these strategists warned.
"We saw a lot of progressive candidates lose in 2018. They did not win," Jennifer Holdsworth, a Democratic strategist and senior vice president of issues management at MWWPR, told The Hill.
"It goes back to the old adage of all politics are local. If you're a progressive challenger, you need to make sure that your district in the general election will respond to the policies and the policy prescriptions that you are proposing."
Challengers to incumbents have historically struggled. Besides Ocasio-Cortez, the only other progressive Democrat to defeat an incumbent last year was Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), who beat Rep. Michael Capuano in a heavily blue Boston district.
Both ran on progressive platforms and proved superb campaigners, but they also benefited from changing demographics that were particularly well-suited to insurgent challenges against older, white lawmakers.
Any element of surprise will also be missing in 2020, as incumbents are now more likely to take any challenge seriously.
Engel, currently in his 16th term in the House, is facing two progressive challengers. But he won his 2018 primary handily, defeating three challengers and receiving roughly 74 percent of the vote.
Meanwhile, Cuellar, now in his eighth term, is being challenged by his former intern, immigration lawyer Jessica Cisneros. But his campaign committee had $2.5 million cash on hand as of the end of 2018 — showing the perks of incumbency in raising money.
Other progressive challengers could be facing even steeper odds to topple incumbents, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) challenger, Shahid Buttar, and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's (D-Md.) challengers, Briana Urbina and Mckayla Wilkes.
That is not to say that incumbents will coast by.
Progressives believe constituents are hungry for fresh policy ideas and new faces in a party that is veering left in key issues like health care or climate change.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) have both emerged as top contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, campaigning heavily on progressive policies such as "Medicare for All" or free tuition at public colleges.
"The center of gravity in the country and in the Democratic Party is moving in an economic populist direction, and even without dramatic changes in primaries, we're seeing a greater willingness from Democratic nominees to challenge power and take on big corporations," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Committee, in an interview with The Hill.
Research conducted by the Progressive Change Institute, which was also co-founded by Green, found that 65 percent of 2018 House freshmen campaigned on Medicare for All, expanding social security or another Medicare policy action.
Many of this cycle's batch of progressive primary challengers are also younger, and they give voice to a new generation of Democratic voters eager for bolder and more left-leaning proposals.
"What I'm hearing is, it's time for a change. That's an echo throughout my campaigning and throughout my district since we launched a month ago. It's time for a change. Congressman Engel has been there for 30 years," educator Jamaal Bowman, who is one of Engel's primary challengers, said in an interview with The Hill.
Bowman, 43, is also one of two primary challengers that has been endorsed by Justice Democrats.
Engel's campaign touted the congressman's record in a statement to The Hill, citing his support of progressive policies like the Green New Deal.
"As always, Rep. Engel welcomes a spirited campaign and debate on the issues. Whether it be his longtime support for Medicare For All, his early cosponsorship of the Green New Deal, his lifetime 'F' rating from the NRA, or his staunch support for public schools and unions, he is proud of his progressive record and looks forward to once again bringing that before the voters," the campaign said.
Cisneros, the other primary challenger endorsed by Justice Democrats, said she was inspired by Ocasio-Cortez, who was just 28 when she defeated Crowley.
"When AOC was elected, I was at home. I had just come home from work, and seeing it all over social media and the news, it was really exciting because I saw myself in her," Cisneros, 26, told The Hill. "Like a lot of people were sending me text messages [saying] like 'hey look, this is happening.' "
Some of the progressive challengers also noted that their bids are necessary to send a message to incumbents about the need to accommodate wider voices within the party — and their districts.
"A number of people said you're not going to surprise him," said Lindsey Boylan, who is one of three Democrats challenging House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) in the district's primary.
"I'm not trying to surprise him. I want him to be ready, and we're going to push for what constituents of the district need and the future of the district, and fight for it."
The desire to have a voice in the policy debate has powered progressive groups like Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement, which has agitated for stronger action on climate change.
"In order for us to really, I think, shift the political landscape in the way that we need to win things like a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, we have to not just challenge Republicans," said Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of Justice Democrats.
Yet whether having that debate play out in primaries will ultimately help the Democratic Party is in doubt, however.
Democrats took over the House in a wave election in 2018 with a diverse crop of candidates, but many of the key wins were in more moderate suburban areas like Virginia's 10th District, where Rep. Jennifer Wexton ousted Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock.
That has some strategists worried that progressives could push the party too far to the left or that they could hand Democrats loses should they prevail in their primaries.
"While I do think that some of the progressive candidates are going to be able to win their primaries, I think that they're going to have a really tough time in the general election, and that's just something the Democratic Party can't afford right now," said Holdsworth from MWWPR.

If you arrive at the tribunal on your own, or on your own apart from a representative or a family member, it can be quite intimidating to see 2 or 3 managers and half your former employer's HR department there on the other side.
Try not to take this personally, or let it worry you unduly.
First, even if all of these people are proposing to give evidence, it doesn't necessarily put you at a disadvantage: witnesses lose cases more often than they win them – by wheeling out a lot of witnesses, your employer may actually be improving your chances.
And if several of your former colleagues are there just to observe proceedings, it can feel like a calculated attempt to intimidate you. But it probably isn't: more likely, it's just that it's useful for them to see what the process is like. For most managers and HR people, ET hearings are both a fairly rare event, and a stressful one. It's useful for managers to see their colleagues having to defend their decisions under cross-examination in a case in which they are not directly involved: for one thing, they may learn things that make it less likely for their decisions to be challenged in tribunal in the first place; and if they do ever have to give evidence in a tribunal hearing in the future, at least they will have seen the process before, so it won't be completely unfamiliar.
I think the point about more witnesses for the other side being a potential benefit is well made. The chance for inconsistencies and/or brutal honesty is increased with more people giving evidence.
It definitely is much harder to challenge the evidence of one person who sticks to a 'simple line'.

Conversion rates are a great yard stick to measure the success of a marketing campaign and website. If you have high conversion rates, everything will be in place and will work beautifully. If you have low conversion rates, it means your marketing campaign and website have problems that need to be addressed. There are several improvements you can make in your website to improve the optimization rates and here are some suggestions that actually work.
Low conversion rates happen for a variety of reasons; so it's important to pin them down and come up with reasonable solutions for them. Before you start working on the optimizations, do a thorough audit of your website. You need to understand which areas turn your audience away from you, and optimize them. A great way to determine this is through a heat map.
You can compare the results of the heat map with your Analytics reports and figure out the problem areas. Heat maps will also show you the best locations for CTA buttons, forms, and headlines; and that can be very useful when you update or optimize your website. You should also study the sales funnel, which will tell you where you lose most of your prospects.
The average abandoned cart rate stands at about 67%, which is quite high. Your prospects make it through the conversion funnel right to the last step before they turn away and abandon their carts. This doesn't just diminish your revenue, it increases your expenses. It costs some money to bring prospects to that level in the conversion funnel so you need to minimize the likelihood of abandoned carts as much as you can.
You can do this if you optimize your shopping cart and keep it as distraction-free and quick as possible. Most business owners and marketers optimize the ads, landing pages, the homepage and website, but fail to optimize the shopping cart. A few small optimizations here can have a significant impact on your conversion rate.
Most customers look for specific products and services when they come to your website. If they've clicked on the ad, they'll go directly to the landing or product page. However, this doesn't mean that they wouldn't look for other products. It's a good idea to make your on-site search engine as refined and efficient as possible. In search results, you should offer filters based on category, price, colour, brand, ratings, discounts, etc. This will help customers narrow down the result and drive conversions.
If the search process is too vague, they'll look at competitors. For example, if a customer wants to purchase makeup foundation, she would choose based on brand, skin type, formulation, and price. If she has to manually sort through dozens of brands and hundreds of foundations, she'll abandon her search and look elsewhere.
Customers are more likely to purchase your products if they know your brand is trusted by others. You can place a trust badge from companies like Norton, McAfee, TRUSTe, etc. You can also add customer review options on your website like Amazon does. This would help customers make the purchase decision because they won't have to do their own research on the product. The reviews will tell them all they need to know.
These optimizations and tips will help improve conversion rates and increase revenue. If you have any questions on conversation rate optimization or related marketing services, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at Digital Canteen. You can call us on 02 9699 1500 or email us at info@digitalcanteen.com.au. You can also fill in this contact us form and we'll reply as soon as we can.
