chana chaat is a delicious, tasty, tangy and easy chaat snack made from white chickpeas or chana, spice powders, onions, tomatoes and lemon. you can also use canned chickpeas to make this chatpata chana chaat.
chana chaat recipe with step by step photos. this chana chaat recipe is an easy and tasty chana chaat recipe made with white chickpeas (kabuli chana or chole). chana chaat can be made very quickly if you have canned chickpeas or leftover boiled chana. if using canned chickpeas, then you just need to mix the spices, onions, tomatoes et all and savor the chana chaat.
chana chaat can be compared to a chickpea salad. however, the taste of any chaat snack is nowhere to a salad. so the comparison does not do much justice to the recipe. while a salad is simple and sober, a chaat is full of bursting flavors and taste.
what makes a chaat different from salad is the addition of green chillies, black salt, chaat masala, onions and lemon juice. you can even add tamarind chutney and green coriander chutney to perk up the flavors more. some fresh curd can also be added.
in the recipe post, i have cooked the chickpeas first. i have also added potatoes which can be skipped.
once the chana is cooked, then it is very easy to make and assemble the chaat. you could serve the chole chaat warm or cold. it can be served a starter, snack or even can be had as a brunch. i have also shared a different recipe of aloo chana chaat recipe.
you can add more or less of the spice powders, black salt and lemon juice as per your taste buds.
when you boil the chana, add some salt to the water while boiling.
do not add green chilli if you do not want to eat a spicy and hot chaat. skip green chillies and kashmiri red chilli powder for small kids.
if you want to serve the chana chaat cold, then refrigerate. do not add the crushed pooris and coriander leaves while refrigerating chana chaat. when you serve the chilled chaat, at that time you add the crushed pooris and coriander leaves.
the chana chaat will be warm if you have freshly cooked the chana and are not using leftover cooked chana.
if you cook the chana in a pot then the preparation time will be 30 to 45 minutes.
to cook the chana or chickpeas in a pot or pan, soak the chickpeas overnight. the add 3 to 4 cups water in a pan with the soaked chickpeas and salt. also add a few drops of oil, so that the foaming and frothing are reduced. if the water froths too much, then cook without the lid.
2.5 to 3 cups of canned chickpeas can also be used instead of dried chickpeas.
you can even add some finely chopped cucumber, grated carrot or beetroot in the chana chaat.
aloo chaat – too good chaat made with potato.
amritsari chole – chickpea curry made amritsari style.
soak 1 cup kabuli chana (white chickpeas) in enough water overnight or for 8 to 9 hours. later drain all the water. rinse the chickpeas in running water and again drain the water. you can also use 2.5 to 3 cups canned chickpeas. if using canned chickpeas, then you just need to mix the spices, onions, tomatoes et all and savour the chana chaat.
take the chana in a 2-litre pressure cooker. add ½ teaspoon salt and 2 cups water.
place a bowl on top of the chana. rinse and keep a medium to large potato inside the bowl. you can skip the potato if you want.
cover tightly with the lid and initially pressure cook on medium flame. when you start hearing the hissing sound in the cooker, lower the flame a bit and cook for 10 to 12 whistles.
when the pressure falls on its own, remove the lid.
check the potato by sliding a knife or fork through it. the fork or knife should slide easily.
also check the chana. you should be able to mash the cooked chana easily. there should be no hardness in the center. the chana should have a melt in the mouth texture. if the chana is not cooked, then add some more water and pressure cook for a few more whistles.
drain all the water and keep the cooked chana aside.
peel the potato once it becomes warm. then chop and keep aside.
rinse, peel and then finely the onion, tomato and chilli. also rinse and then finely chop some coriander leaves. keep aside.
take the cooked chana in a mixing bowl.
add all the spice powders - kashmiri red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder and chaat masala. add both black salt and regular salt as per taste. you can also add ½ teaspoon dry mango powder (amchur powder).
add the chopped potatoes. mix very well so the spice powders, salts coats the potatoes and chana.
add the finely chopped onions, finely chopped tomatoes, chopped green chillies and coriander leaves.
add 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice or add as required.
again mix very well. check the taste and you can add salt, chaat masala, red chilli powder, green chillies, lemon juice more if you want.
serve chana chaat in a bowl instantly. while serving chana chaat garnish with some coriander leaves and sev. adding sev is optional. you can even garnish with some crushed papdi or pani poori.
when you boil the chana, add some salt to the water in which you would boil the chana.
do not add green chilli if you do not want to eat a spicy and hot chaat.
if you want to serve the chana chaat cold, then do not add the crushed pooris and coriander leaves before keeping the chaat in the fridge. when you serve the cold chaat, then you add the crushed pooris and coriander leaves.

Make Your Business More Inclusive with These 8 Practices
Proactively working toward inclusion today means a stronger, better business tomorrow.
By Young Entrepreneur Council@yec
Inclusive business practices are becoming more commonplace in today's business landscape, and with good reason. These practices can certainly benefit and appeal to your diverse customer base, but they can also resonate with the entire company as well.
But diversity and inclusion aren't just buzzwords or hiring quotas. By implementing inclusive business practices today, leaders can secure their company's strength and position in the future.
Below, eight successful entrepreneurs shared how you can become more inclusive to benefit both your customers and your employees.
Cater to diverse audiences with your products and content.
While your business is never going to appeal to every single audience out there, you can start appealing to more diverse demographics by creating inclusive content and products, says Chris Christoff, co-founder of MonsterInsights.
"If you know there are steps you can take to serve people from different walks of life, then do it," Christoff explains. "It's not uncommon to hear about brands that neglect certain groups of people, so make sure yours doesn't make this same mistake."
Listen to your team's opinions.
According to Stephanie Wells, founder of Formidable Forms, inclusivity in the workplace starts with giving everyone a voice -- not just the managers and executives.
"Listening to the opinions of all your employees will make them feel equal and valued," says Wells. "The same goes for your customers. You can send out regular surveys to get their feedback on important issues as well."
Communicate on a personal level.
Every leader should work toward building personal relationships with their team. While you shouldn't be intrusive, you should have a basic knowledge of who they are as individuals, rather than just as employees.
"When you get to know your staff on somewhat of a personal level as far as their likes, desires and hobbies, you set the example that inclusivity is the norm," says Andrew Schrage, co-owner of Money Crashers Personal Finance. "Plus, your workers will feel more comfortable in recommending various employees to work at your business, which can further foster inclusivity."
Make diverse hiring a priority.
Carlo Cisco, founder and CEO of SELECT, believes that diversity and inclusiveness are the future, so any company that hopes to thrive should make them pillars of their business today.
"As a majority LGBT-owned and managed business, we've always made hiring people with different backgrounds and perspectives a priority," Cisco says. "This helps us stay at the forefront."
Let people know you're seeking diverse candidates.
You shouldn't simply hire diverse candidates for the sake of hitting a quota. However, setting specific, measurable goals for your hiring can hold you more accountable for reaching them. As Nicole Munoz, founder and CEO of Nicole Munoz Consulting, Inc., points out, quotas can be an effective way to ensure that a more diverse population gets hired.
"Providing an incentive to hire people that come from marginalized backgrounds will allow for more applications of this nature," Munoz adds.
Change up your meeting leaders.
Hiring a diverse workforce is only one half of ensuring inclusiveness in the company, says Rahul Varshneya, co-founder of CurveBreak. Creating a culture where people feel included and respected is the real key to inclusiveness -- and it can start in your company meeting rooms.
"The best way to ensure that all employees are empowered is to give the diverse voices a chance to be heard," says Varshneya. "Rotating who runs the meetings changes the internal dynamics and gives everyone the opportunity to be heard."
Hire remote workers.
By their nature, remote companies have the ability to be more inclusive. John Turner, founder of SeedProd LLC, notes that remote organizations can hire employees from all different backgrounds, no matter their location.
"Not only does this create a more diverse team, it also gives your company the ability to interact with customers all around the world in their own language too," Turner says.
Provide truly equal opportunities.
Strong individuals make a strong team, says Solomon Thimothy, president of OneIMS, and a person can only work to the best of their abilities when they feel comfortable.
"Being a minority myself, I know how important it is to provide equal opportunities for everybody," Thimothy says. "We always hire the best candidates for a job regardless of their gender, identity or nationality, and whenever there is a leadership position to fill, we promote from within."

Revisiting 'Batman, The Animated Series': 'The Cat and the Claw' (Parts 1 and 2)
Catwoman's introduction is a very mixed bag of artistic highs and lows in this animated production of the Batman storyline.
By Warren Henry
Spoilers ahead.
Although "The Cat and the Claw" is a two-parter fifteenth and sixteenth in production, Part One served as the series premiere, with Part Two airing a week later. This story, which introduces the Catwoman, is a mixed bag on multiple levels.
As with the Penguin, Catwoman (Adrienne Barbeau, of "Escape From New York" and "Maude") does not get an origin story. In both cases, the studio may have wanted to avoid confusion so close after Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" (1992), especially because this Selina Kyle — the burglar's alter ego — is blonde like Michelle Pfieffer and unlike her usual black or brunette hair in the comics.
Yet Selina is depicted here as a wealthy businesswoman. This serves the plot in terms of bringing her into Bruce Wayne's world, but departs from canon. In the comics and the movies, Selina tends to come from a lower-class background, with Catwoman serving as an antihero with a Robin Hood streak.
Moreover, Catwoman's visual design is inspired by the comics of the 1980s, not the Burton movie's famous catsuit. Bruce Timm put his own stamp on the character's look (one of his animation hires, Darwyn Cooke, would bring this look into the comics during the early 2000s).
When Catwoman (or Selina) is onscreen, these episodes are compelling (save for the introduction of Isis, a super-smart cat with unreal eyesight). The voice work from Barbeau and Kevin Conroy create the chemistry needed to believe the immediate romantic tensions required for 22-minute episodes.
Unfortunately, "The Cat and the Claw" also introduces a secondary baddie, the Red Claw (Kate Mulgrew, doing a weak Eastern European accent she also uses in episodes of "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Orange is the New Black"). Red Claw wants to be a Bond villain, but seems more like Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies. She has a plan she alters on a whim and an overly elaborate method of trying to kill Batman.
Red Claw seems inserted to hammer the feminist messaging of these episodes. Also, Selina is portrayed as an animal rights activist. The core creative team wanted to avoid message stories, but this story was co-developed by Sean Catherine Derek, who liked injecting social issues. The conflicts almost derailed the series before it began; Derek was ultimately replaced as the series' story editor.
The animation and direction is similarly mixed. Sunrise's animation in Part One is fluid and cinematic, fully supporting Kevin Altieri's direction; it is a joy to watch. Dick Sebast's less inspired direction of Part Two is hobbled by the animation from Akom (who would later be dropped as a supplier for the show).
Part One opens with Catwoman using Isis to steal a necklace from a highrise. Somehow, Isis can see all the infrared alarms. Batman interrupts the heist, resulting in a spectacular chase across Gotham rooftops and fire escapes. Once Batman gets over his surprise the thief is a woman, their banter turns flirtatious. Catwoman escapes when Batman saves Isis from an oncoming car; she summons her pet with an ultrasonic whistle.
Later, at a charity bachelor auction to benefit animal preserves, Bruce Wayne is in demand. Selina Kyle outbids everyone, but tells Bruce she is giving for the cause and not interested in the date. Bruce is very interested in the date, which she makes a lunch.
This talk is interrupted by a police chase outside. (The animation conveys the weight and speed of the vehicles realistically.) Batman foils the robbery of a military truck hauling an arms shipment. Afterward, Commissioner Gordon tells Batman the Red Claw — a global terrorist — is believed to be in Gotham.
The next day, Selina prepares for lunch, telling her secretary Maven she would rather date Batman. After Bruce arrives, Selina takes a phone call informing her land she was purchasing for a mountain lion preserve has been snapped up by Multigon International.
Bruce ingratiates himself with Selina by arranging a meeting with Multigon's CEO. Chairman Stern rebuffs Bruce and Selina and explains Multigon's plans for a resort (which Selina does not believe, given the remote location). Stern says Multigon will take care of the mountain lions "one way or another," causing Selina to threaten action from environmental groups. After Bruce and Selina leave, Multigon is revealed to be a front for the Red Claw, who orders surveillance on Selina.
That night, Batman breaks up a mob meeting to tell them he wants information on the Red Claw. Catwoman breaks into Multigon for dirt on the company's plans. Red Claw briefs her team on a plan to steal a deadly virus from a military train and extort the government into paying ten billion dollars in gold bullion. Red Claw is interrupted when the security system shows Catwoman photographing the contents of Stern's safe (which reveal bunkers at the remote site).
Catwoman escapes to Multigon's roof and jumps to the ledge of a neighboring building. Red Claw fires a heavy shell that knocks Catwoman from the ledge. Batman rescues Catwoman with his grappling gear. On a nearby roof, Catwoman kisses Batman to thank him for saving Isis; Batman asks whether it was more. Catwoman acknowledges there is something between them. Batman replies that the law is between them. She angrily flips him over the side of the building to escape.
In Part Two, Batman meets with the mob boss, who relays rumors about a train heist. Commisioner Gordon has no information on valuable train shipments. Batman deduces it is likely a classified military train.
When Red Claw and her team board the train, Batman is following with his glider (this sequence is the best-animated of Part Two). Red Claw steals the virus while Batman fights her underlings. After declaring Batman must be surprised she is a woman, Red Claw threatens to release the virus. Batman lets her to escape by helicopter.
Bruce and Selina make another try at lunch. Red Claw's team attempts to force Bruce's car off a bridge. Bruce outdrives the terrorists and forces them off the bridge. He covers with Selina by mentioning his racing hobby. Bruce takes Selina home and asks her to confide in him, but she is not used to playing the damsel in distress.
In the Batcave, Bruce searches for the link between Selina and Red Claw. Alfred finds it in the form of an unusual cat hair (belonging to Isis) on Bruce's coat. Later, a Red Claw goon's attack on Maven is foiled by Batman. Maven caves in, revealing Catwoman has gone to the Multigon site — and is in love with Batman.
At Multigon's remote site, Catwoman gags and hogties one of Red Claw's guards. She infiltrates the facility through the ventilation shaft and photographs Red Claw's arsenal. She is briefly caught by a guard and freed by Batman, but both antiheroes get trapped behind a gate by Red Claw.
With Batman and Catwoman tied back-to-back, Red Claw decides to expose them to the virus and use a placebo for her extortion plot. She drops some acid onto the virus canister before leaving the building.
Catwoman's claws free her and Batman from their ropes. Batman urges Catwoman to escape while he stays to kill the virus, which he does with a gasoline truck and a grenade. The Multigon site is consumed in explosions and fire.
Red Claw's team is intercepted by the Gotham police. Red Claw skips a helicopter escape to pursue Catwoman into the nearby hills. Red Claw attacks from behind, but fails to finish off Catwoman due to the intervention of a mountain lion.
Catwoman returns home, where Batman is waiting. The Caped Crusader admits his feelings for her before slipping the batcuffs on her.

Claude Bourgelat, född 27 mars 1712 i Lyon, död 3 januari 1779, var en fransk veterinär.

Bourgelat praktiserade en tid som advokat, men drog sig snart på grund av samvetsbetänkligheter tillbaka från denna ställning och ingick i musketörernas kår samt blev chef för ridskolan i Lyon. I denna stad fann han även tillfälle att studera medicin, och denna lade han till grund för sina studier av hästen i friskt och sjukt tillstånd.

På hans initiativ upprättades i Lyon Europas första djurläkarskola (1762), som snart besöktes av studerande från hela Europa, bland andra Peter Hernqvist från Sverige och Peter Christian Abildgaard från Danmark, båda grundläggare av veterinärskolor i sina hemländer (Skara veterinärinrättning 1775 respektive Köpenhamns kungliga veterinärskola 1773). Bourgelat fick den inbringande posten som generalkommissarie över stuterierna och blev 1766 direktör för den nya veterinärskolan i Alfort, samtidigt med att han behöll överuppsikten över Lyonskolan. Han blev även ledamot av institutet.

Bourgelat författade åtskilliga läroböcker i sin vetenskap, som översatts till flera språk. Däribland kan nämnas Traité de la conformation extérieure du cheval, de sa beauté et de ses défauts (1776; 8:e upplagan 1832). I Maisons-Alfort finns en staty av Bourgelat.

Kitchen worktops are the most functional part of the kitchen. This is the place where you enjoy preparing food. This top can be made with a number of versatile materials and the most popular are composite stone, granite, wood, glass, laminate and stainless steel. Each of these materials has different advantages and you need to study your option well before buying so that you make an informed decision.
First of all, think about your lifestyle and your kitchen workload. If you have you have a heavy workload or you have kids, do not get a material like glass which is easily scratched or cracked. This won't prove to be a wise decision. In this case, you need strong, long lasting and scratch proof kitchen top which can assist you in your kitchen work without any worries.
Stainless steel is the strongest option but you can choose it only if you do not mind that it loses its pristine appearance in near future. It looks like a worn patina which some people do not mind but if the appearance and look are also your key concern, check composite or granite kitchen tops. Composite is very practical for kitchens that have a heavy workload. You can use it anywhere like around the sink or next to hobo.
Granite is glossy and very pretty when used as kitchen tops. You can make it island worktop as well because it looks strikingly beautiful. The luxurious granite tops are never out if fashion and no matter what style or design you plan your kitchen, granite never fails to fill the gap. For a contemporary kitchen, you can choose a honed matt otherwise classic glossy finish works fine with all other classically designed kitchens.
Wood kitchen tops are also a good and durable choice if you are making a pick of Teak or Iroko wood. These wood options are naturally strong and have a high amount of oil in them.
Kitchen worktops, which one is the best?


A rare ito. 100% top quality Japanese silk, and available in navy, nando and gold brown or navy, purple, and grey tetsu.
Price is per metre. To work out how much tsukaito you need, measure the length of your handle in inches. If your tsuka is 4 inches long, you will need 4 feet of tsuka-ito, plus an extra 4 feet, making a total of 8 feet. Similarly an 8 inch handle will need 12 feet of ito, and so on. Now divide the number of inches needed by 39 to give the answer in metres, i.e. if you need 8 feet, divide 96 by 39 to give approximately 2.5 metres. Alternatively measure the tsuka in centimetres, multiply by 12, add 121.92 cm and divide by 100 to get the answer in metres.
Having worked out the length in metres that you need, enter the net nearest whole number in the quantity to buy box at the top; for example, if you want 2.5 metres, enter "3".

FTI Consulting Enhances Healthcare Industry Expertise with the Appointment of Jan Naifeh
WASHINGTON, Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) today announced that Jan Naifeh has joined the firm as a Senior Managing Director in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment, enhancing its healthcare advisory expertise for both companies and creditors.
Ms. Naifeh, who will be based in Brentwood, Tenn., brings more than 25 years of experience in risk management and restructuring. Working alongside FTI Consulting's Transaction Services and Health Solutions practices, she will advise both healthcare companies and lenders nationally on debt restructuring, refinancing, the implementation of credit solutions, and financial and compliance risk analysis.
"We have seen Jan's expertise at work in the many deals we have partnered on over the years, and her skills will be a valuable asset to clients in the healthcare sector and beyond," said Tim Dragelin, Leader of the Healthcare practice in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment at FTI Consulting.

Ms. Naifeh most recently was Senior Vice President of the Corporate and Investment Banking Special Assets Division at SunTrust Bank.

Ms. Naifeh also managed syndicated transactions and negotiated, developed and implemented solutions designed to minimize credit exposure and maximize asset recovery.
"An increasing amount of debt in the healthcare industry will mature in the next three years, and we anticipate refinancing will be more difficult in a rising interest-rate environment," Ms. Naifeh said.

I am excited to join the team at FTI Consulting that I have known and respected for years to deliver high-impact solutions to our clients."

Spring has finally made its way to my neck of the woods. The pretty weather has taken its sweet time in getting here but, for me at least, it's brought exciting news and a new contract. My paranormal romance, currently titled Azrael's Light, will be released in ebook through Siren Publishing in June. I'm incredibly excited to be working with Siren and even more excited to share Azrael and Diane's story with everyone. This story has traveled with me as I've grown as an author. Their story has seen many changes and what I hope are improvements as I've learned so much in the past couple of years. I love these characters with all my heart and I hope I've done them justice.

Comparison of Media for Dissemination of Information About Cancer in Rural Communities
ABSTRACT:A study was done in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, to compare the effectiveness of the various mass media—television, radio, and newspaper—for the dissemination of educational material about cancer. Effectiveness of these media in reaching certain subpopulations defined by race, sex, income, and population density was also examined. The newspaper was…
Caustic Burns of the Esophagus Ten‐Year Results of Aggressive Care
ABSTRACT:In 1967, care of esophageal burns from caustic substances was altered to include immediate esophagoscopy, high doses of steroid, and follow-up dilatations plus cine-esophagograms as needed. Previously, this area averaged six repairs of esophageal stricture each year. Since 1967, there have been no esophageal strictures in 100 patients.

Hanoi is the second biggest city in Vietnam and the former capital of the Northern part of the country. Till today, Hanoi is very important for the economy of Vietnam. At the same time, visiting Hanoi as a tourist is very interesting as you'll read in this city guide.
You can find more content about Hanoi on our city page!
Visiting Hanoi was a very interesting experience for many reasons. First of all, I was surprised how big the French influence is till today. Especially the architecture in the diplomatic quarter reminds me of Paris to some degree. In addition, the whole atmosphere, the streets, the parks and everything in this area has a french feel. At the same time, Hanoi has a very typical Asian and sort-of chaotic flair, which you'd rather expect in a city like Bangkok. Last but not least, the city has a very rich history, which makes it one of the most interesting places in Asia, in my opinon.
As I was staying at the Hilton Hanoi Opera and the Sofitel Legend Hanoi, I was located in the French Quarter during my stay. Thus, I started exploring the city from here. The most famous building in this part of the city is the Opera House, which beautifully showcases the French influence on the cities varied architecture.
The French Quarter also includes several other beautiful buildings, including the Sofitel. You can find several villas and a few very nice parks, which very much feel like France. This area is, till today, one of the major hotspots for expats and the elite of Hanoi.
If you are into museums, you may visit the National History Museum, which is located very close to the Opera House and offers an interesting insight into the history of Vietnam, especially before the years of occupation.
In the South of the French Quarter, you can not only find the very nice Thong Nhat Park, but also the Hoa Lo Prison, which is a very sad, but at the same time interesting place.
It's showcasing how the French treated the Vietnamese during the times of occupation.
One of the areas in Hanoi I'd like to recommend especially is the Hoan Kiem District, which is located West of the French Quarter. Not only is it a vibrant and modern part of Hanoi, but it is also home to the Hoan Kiem Lake, which is a tranquil escape in the middle of the city.
You can walk or jog around the lake and admire the lovely gardens around. There's also the Ngoc Son Temple, which can be accessed through a beautiful little bridge. Not only is the temple itself quite nice, but you can also enjoy lovely views of the Hoan Kiem Lake.
You might also recognize Thap Rua, a monument located in the middle of the lake.
If you don't see it from the Ngoc Son Temple, be sure to walk around the lake for a while to spot this interesting monument.
West of the Hoan Kiem Lake, you can not only find several more temples, but also the St. Joseph Cathedral, one of only few Christian monuments in Hanoi.
If you are heading North from the Hoan Kiem District with its many restaurants and shops, you'll find yourself in the Old Quarter after just a few minutes. This part of the city is very historic as the name suggests.
Yet, it's not really about the historic architecutre of this part of Hanoi, but rather about the fascinating streetlife with hundreds of vendors and little shops that makes the Old Quarter of Hanoi so fascinating. Besides a couple of temples, which you'll easily spot when walking through the Old Quarter, you should have a look at the architecture.
Some of the old buildings are the classic merchant houses from the 15th centuries, which made the city of Hoi An (which I'll review later) famous. Another spot you should watch out for is the Quan Chuong Gate, which is the last remaining gate of the city walls, which protected the Old Quarter till the 19th century.
Another noteworthy monument is the Hang Dau Water Tank, which has been one of the most important water reservoires in the city for decades.
Hanoi's Ba Dinh District is by far the most touristic place in the city. This part of the city is located East of the Old Quarter and the Hoan Kiem District. The area is mainly consisting of diplomatic residences and cultural as well as politically important buildings.
Among those are the Presidential Palace, the impressive Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Citadel of Hanoi with the famous Cot Co Flag Tower and a couple of museums.
It's tough to miss any of the monuments in this area as the Ba Dinh District is all about the cultural heritage and history of Vietnam. Till today, it feels like a place, where the victory of the people in the Vietnam War is celebrated.
It's a little odd for foreigners, yet interesting to see. A place I'd also recommend at least admiring from the outside is the Cua Bac Catholic Church, which is the most colorful church I've ever seen.
What I'd especially like to recommend in this city guide is taking some time to visit the Thăng Long Citadel. It might sound like an old an run-down ruin, but is in fact still in a very good condition.
When visiting (there's a small entrance fee), you can walk around the area and see some of the most important buildings of the resistance and North Vietnamese Government during the Vietnam War.
That might sound like an odd combination, but the Citadel was not only used by several dynasties of Vietnamese emperors, but also played an important role during the Vietnam War. It's indeed a fascinating place, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason.
Another place you should definitely not miss is the Temple of Literature, which is located South of the other attractions in the Ba Dinh District.
Not only are the different buildings in the temple interesting, but it is also a very calming and relaxing place to visit.
Even with the entrance fee, visiting the Temple of Literature Hanoi is totally worth it.
If there's a really surreal place in Hanoi, it is the West Lake. You might expect a small lake or something, but the West Lake is just incredibly big.
From one side, you'll have problems spotting the other end. That's especially crazy as the lake is located in the North-West to the city and yet fully surrounded by the inner city anyways. If visiting as a tourist, the lake is nice for having a walk, but especially famous for one monument: The One Pillar Pagoda.
Other than that, the West Lake is a very fashionable address including luxury hotels, top-notch restaurant and shopping streets.
In this city guide, you should have gotten a good idea of what visiting Hanoi is like. Personally, I really enjoyed the city, which feels like a brilliant mixture of different cultures as well as historic periods.
On the one hand, the city feels modern and Asian, on the other hand it got a very European flair and a very variied culture. There are several interesting sights, I'd recommend visiting. Thus, I'd say that you should at least spend three days in Hanoi to explore all of the city. I'm sure you'll love it!
Have you been to Hanoi? What do you like most about the city?


The module 'Internet Security' focuses on the most popular Internet attack types and describes the methods used by your PC/laptop/smartphone to prevent and defend against cyber attacks. The first lecture 'Top Ranking Internet Attacks' describes the most commonly occurring attack types and ranks them based on the percentage of attack incidents. Your PC/laptop/smartphone has been receiving these attacks 100%, you just did not know it, but now you will. The lecture 'Growing Security & Threat Issues' discusses about zombie computers and botnets and other emerging attack techniques, which may be contaminating your PC/laptop/smartphone. The lectures in 'Internet & Cyber Attacks' include the most serious cyber attack types of Phishing, DoS (Denial of Service) & DDoS (Distributed DoS), Overflow, MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) Attack, and SQL (Structured Query Language) Injection. The lectures in 'Internet Security & Protection' focus on the most commonly used attack defense/security techniques used by your PC/laptop/smartphone, which include Firewalls, IDS (Intrusion Detection System), TLS (Transport Layer Security), WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), WPA2, and SSH (Secure Shell).
and it's going to deal with the following four topics.

Philippine police detain three as hundreds demonstrate against trade liberalisation.
The protest took place near the Cebu International Convention Centre, one of the venues of the annual Asean and East Asian summit meetings.
Roads near the centre in Cebu were closed to traffic and guarded by riot police as part of a security clampdown.
Police detained the three protesters for questioning after the group refused to heed calls to disperse.
Abadinas said police were considering filing a complaint of illegal assembly against the three.
Oscar Calderon, the national police chief, has banned rallies near the summit venues for security reasons.
At the summit itself Asean leaders have agreed to write a charter to create a regional bloc similar to the European Union and establish a free trade zone by 2015, according to a draft of their final statement.
The statement, to be issued after the summit concludes on Sunday, also includes an agreement on counterterrorism and the protection of migrant workers.
It seeks to create an "Asean Economic Community" with a free flow of goods, services, investment and capital by 2015. But implementing the goals remains a difficulty.
The 10 countries in Asean have long voiced support for a joint charter, but the process of writing one remains in its initial stages.
Measures to tackle terrorism in the region has proved another difficult issue.
According the draft, the leaders have agreed to share information and training on counter-terrorism and cross-border crimes.


I'm a bit of a newcomer to Arch Linux and still getting used to some of its paradigms. I come with a lot of habits from another distro that was quite a bit more structured and in some ways predictable.
One thing I would like to do with a few systems¹ is enable a cron job to do automatic updates of all system packages. This seems like it would be pretty easy except I also want some meaningful feedback from the system telling me how things went that was not so verbose that I end up ignoring it until I discover the system is acting up.
The full output of pacman is unnecessary. I don't care how long the downloads took or that it is on update 46 of 53.
For the most part I don't care about successes.
I do care about errors. If an update run fails I want to know about it and any specific error messages should be patched through.
"kernel.core_pattern=|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %e"
This last category is actually what prompted me to ask this question because it seems these are very inconsistent across the package set. Some of these seem to be generated by post_upgrade(), others by install(), etc. Sometimes they are written to stdout, sometimes to stderr. The format of the messages varies widely: sometimes a whole block is prefixed on indented in some way, other times there is just a bare echoed string.
I want to know about things that may require my intervention on a system but not be bothered otherwise. Is there a tool out there that intelligently manages this data and simplifies the system administration? Is there any way to get the output generated by packages separately from the pacman process installing them? Or am I on my own to write some kind of parser that filters out benign stuff from the install log?
¹ Before you jump all over how stupid this is please note that I'm smart enough to not do this on production servers and not without snapshot based full system backups that would make recovery easy in the event of a catastrophe.
I want to be clear for both you and any other person who might happen upon this thread. What you want to do is not possible. Arch makes no secret of the fact that it expects you to administer your system. Part of that responsibility is being present for the update cycle.
Now, there are steps of the update process that you can automate responsibly, but it will never amount to an automated -Syu. You simply need to be there for the upgrade.
You could then, setup a cron job to run sudo pacman -Syuw. I'm not terribly familiar with cron or it's scheduling abilities. However, if it is capable of only running a job after a particular condition has been met (for example, a command returning a particular value), then it would be fairly trivial to trigger the downloading of new packages as needed.
I would imagine running a check against checkupdates | wc -l, for example. If it returns any number above zero, you could trigger the download. Again, however, this will not replace running an -Syu when you are present and ready to deal with the upgrade.
For the final part of your question, where to get output of what happened during an upgrade, you're looking for /var/log/pacman.log. It includes all error information that might interest you.
There is a tool that is meant to make pacman a little more friendly for unfamiliar users. If I'm not mistaken, it also provides a notification about news items if there should be an update that requries manual intervention.
This tool might make your life a little simpler in the short run, but it will never be a replacement for sensibly and diligently following the Mailing Lists.
There is an old script which does a really good job; it is called safepac.
The way I usually update Arch is to read the news and then do pacman -Syu, or to just do pacman -Syu and if anything goes wrong, read the news. Now this script does nothing else: It gets the latest news entries from the RSS feed, does some sed magic, and compares the names of all packages that have updates available to the news. It matches " package-name " and "package-name-" in the news, and if the package name appears somewhere in the news, it will ignore the package and only update all the others. This way, anything that might go wrong will be postponed until one has the time to inspect the matter by hand, while non-critical updates will just be done automatically!
"note" "pacnew" "error" "important" "warning" "exists".
The script is old, but the idea is good and probably still works with minor update, if any.
I use my own untility to run yaourt by cron.

A grand jury is a legal body which has the power to conduct official proceedings to investigate possible criminal conduct. They also decide whether criminal charges should be brought. A grand jury may subpoena evidence and may compel the sworn testimony of witnesses who appear before it. Grand juries are made up of from 16 to 23 people in the United States. They meet for a period of one month up to a year. However, jurors may only have to meet for a few days each month. The juries meet in private. The suspected person, called a suspect, is not usually present. About half the state in the US do not regularly use grand juries. A preliminary hearing may be used instead. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires the use of grand juries by the federal legal system for all capital and "infamous crimes" (cases involving treason, certain felonies or gross moral turpitude).
In 1166 an enactment of King Henry II of England, called the Assize of Clarendon, called for "the oath of *twelve men from every hundred and four men from every vill" to meet and decide who was guilty of robbery, theft or murder. It was the early ancestor of the jury system and of the grand jury. The United Kingdom abolished grand juries in 1933. Many of their former colonies including Canada, Australia and New Zealand have also stopped using them. The United States is one of the few remaining countries that uses the grand jury.
Grand juries are called by a federal judge and are required to supervise them. But judges almost never interfere. The grand jury is led by a federal prosecutor. He cannot testify or be present while the jury deliberates. But most federal grand juries will return any indictment presented to it. This led to the famous saying "a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich." They can subpoena anything they want with very few restrictions. In United States v. R.
