Police are using facial recognition for minor crimes because they can
by Sabrina I. Pacifici on Oct 25, 2020
CNet – Law enforcement is tapping the tech for low-level crimes like shoplifting, because there are no limits. But the tool often makes errors. "…The US has no federal regulations on facial recognition, leaving thousands of police departments to determine their own limits. Advocates say that's a concern for civil liberties. While some members of Congress propose an indefinite nationwide ban on police use, other bills suggest it could still be allowed with a warrant, or they prevent only businesses from using it. Police often frame facial recognition as a necessary tool to solve the most heinous crimes, like terrorist attacks and violent assaults, but researchers have found that the technology is more frequently used for low-level offenses.
…In a recent court filing, the NYPD noted that it's turned to facial recognition in more than 22,000 cases in the last three years. "Even though the NYPD claims facial recognition is only used for serious crimes, the numbers tell a different story," said Albert Fox Cahn, the executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. "As facial recognition continues to grow, it's being routinely deployed for everything from shoplifting to graffiti." Asked for comment, an NYPD spokeswoman pointed to a 2019 opinion article by police commissioner James O'Neill titled "How Facial Recognition Makes You Safer." In the piece, O'Neill talked about how facial recognition had been used to make arrests in murder, robbery and rape cases, but he didn't disclose how often it was used for low-level crimes…"

St Peter's has convened a new 'Mission Team' to support and pray for special projects. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the sadness and cruelty we see in our beautiful world. However we can all make a difference where we are. We are so blessed to live in our village with its active community, school and Church.
We are focussing on three particular projects, but this may be extended in the future.
We help fund projects across the Diocese for Family Support Work (FSW). This has been done for many years and it is wonderful to hear how vulnerable families continue to be helped throughout Sussex.
We are also in contact with groups working with refugees, who are mostly Syrian and now in Greece. Many thousands have been left abandoned there since barriers went up in Europe. We are supporting a particular charity Aegean Solidarity Network which is making a difference with projects in Athens and Leros.
Our overseas mission partner is Rachel and her husband Eric Mande and their children, who are working with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) in Uganda. Rachel is our Vicar Clive and Marion's daughter and she has been working in East Africa since her marriage to Eric in 2009.
Please do ask if you would like more information.

Система образования в Габоне находится под управлением двух министерств. Министерство Образования занимается дошкольным и школьным образованием. Министерство Высшего Образования и Инновационных Технологий управляет университетами и профессиональными училищами.

За основу системы образования в Габоне взята французская модель, однако она была несколько изменена, с целью приспособить её к местным потребностям и традициям.

Согласно Акту об Образовании, образование обязательно для детей от 6 до 16 лет. Образование бесплатное. Большинство детей в Габоне посещают ясли (называемые «Crèche»), затем переходят в детский сад, а в возрасте 6 лет поступают в начальную школу («École Primaire»), включающую в себя шесть классов. Следующим уровнем является средняя школа («École Secondaire»), состоящую из семи классов. Обычно в этой системе дети заканчивают учиться в возрасте 19 лет. Закончившие полный курс обучения могут поступать в университеты системы высшего образования и профессиональные училища.

Главный университет страны расположен в её столице Либревиле и носит имя Омара Бонго. В его составе имеются факультеты юриспруденции, естественных и гуманитарных наук. Имеются также профессиональные училища, готовящие учителей, инженеров, специалистов лесного хозяйства, гидравликов, администраторов и менеджеров.

На образование тратится около 9,6 % государственного бюджета. Весь курс образования состоит из 13 классов, с 1-го по 13-й. Языком школьного образования является французский.

It is hoped that Xofluza can bring down the costs of flu treatment and help control the spread of infection.
TOKYO -- A drug that suppresses replication of the flu virus with a single oral dose has been approved for sale in Japan.
Japanese drugmaker Shionogi on Friday announced that its Xofluza tablet had received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
The drug was reviewed under a fast-track process the ministry introduced in 2015 and will go on sale as soon as prices are set, the company said.
Xofluza has been lauded for its innovative mechanism and emerges as a rival to Tamiflu, a drug that requires two daily doses over five consecutive days.
With only one dose, Xofluza inhibits an enzyme that flu viruses need to replicate themselves. Tamiflu, on the other hand, does not suppress virus replication.
Shionogi predicts its new product will help reduce costs for patients and enhance infection control in homes and workplaces.
Xofluza is the first drug to be approved through the fast-track review system. Titanbridge, a device to treat vocal disorders marketed by Tokyo-based company Nobelpharma, has been approved through the process.
Shionogi is working in conjunction with Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding on marketing Xofluza globally, except for in the Japan and Taiwan markets.

The attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol disrupted the festive events
On the morning of July 31, the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy on the Crimean Peninsula was attacked. Governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev informed the public about this in his Telegram channel.
Early this morning, the Ukronazis decided to ruin Navy Day for us. An unidentified object flew into the courtyard of the Fleet Headquarters, according to preliminary data, it is a drone
- the publication says, without specifying the model of the UAV, which was used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The functionary added that as a result of the emergency there were no deaths, but 5 people were injured, all of them are employees of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. Assistance has been provided to all the victims, FSB officers are working on the spot and all the circumstances are being clarified.
He added that in connection with the incident, all festive events were canceled for security reasons. At the same time, Razvozhaev asked citizens to remain calm and, if possible, stay at home, promising to continue to inform.
After some time, the governor published pictures taken from the courtyard of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, as well as at the entrance to the dining room.
I repeat once again: all festive events have been canceled for security reasons. Please remain calm and stay at home as much as possible. All information will be posted here as soon as possible. I am temporarily closing comments due to the attack of Ukrainian bots.
Razvozhaev pointed out.
Thus, the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy disrupted the festive events that were to be held on July 31 on the Day of the Navy of the Russian Federation.

I really want them to stop meditating at the top and start hitting back, it is the instigators of this war who need to beat the West, and the Nazis are just a tool in the hands of Western partners, if this tool is taken away, they will take another and there will be no less cones. The Nazis are not planning. stop pretending that it doesn't hurt us, we need to give such change so that we don't want to plan anymore
shame and shame! It seems to be in small things, but it turns out that in the whole huge Sevastopol there are "no events", because there is a mess in the fleet and in the garrison .. And what if the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Crimea, earlier, with all their might? Now the question arises - would he have survived .. With such failures .. successively ..

Dr. Travis E. Dorsch is an Associate Professor and Founding Director of the Families in Sport Lab in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Utah State University. He teaches undergraduate courses in lifespan development and human motivation and graduate courses in human development and quantitative and qualitative research methods. Having documented the impact of children's youth sport participation on parents and families while pursuing his doctoral studies at Purdue University (Sport and Exercise Psychology), his current research includes a complementary focus on: (a) the role of youth sport participation on family relationships and family interaction; (b) evidence-based parent education in youth, adolescent, and early adult sport settings; and (c) the role of internal factors (e.g., motivation) and external factors (e.g., families and social contexts) on sport, physical activity, and recreational behavior. Outside of his work, Dr. Dorsch enjoys traveling, skiing, hiking, biking, and laughing with his wife Bree, daughter Josie, and son Bridger.

Ninety percent of North American youth participate in organized sport during childhood and/or adolescence. Parents are also active participants, exhibiting a range of involvement behaviors over the course of a child's athletic development. As such, organized sport provides a common context for family interaction, whereby parent behavior can shape the child's developmental experience and vice versa. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, youth sport is increasingly being driven by adults and is becoming less centered on the athletes who participate. As parents continue to invest a growing percentage of family resources into the athletic development and success of their children, the "appropriate" level of parental involvement in youth sport has become a polarizing cultural debate. This debate is significant because proper quality and quantity of parent involvement in extra-curricular activities has been linked to enhanced child outcomes including enjoyment and motivation.
The research my students and I are conducting is targeted at understanding the impact of family relationships and interactions on children's participation in the fairly ubiquitous context of organized sport as well as the impact of that participation on dynamic family processes and developmental outcomes. We collect and analyze interview, focus group, survey, and observational data and interact with our participation in a wide range of sport, physical activity, and recreational settings.
Although extant research in the sport and family literatures illuminates developmentally appropriate parenting behaviors, researchers and practitioners have yet to systematically disseminate this information to parents. Therefore, there exists a critical need to provide parents an educational platform grounded in evidence-based principles of parenting in organized sport. With such programming, parents would be provided knowledge of optimal involvement strategies, potentially enhancing children's developmental outcomes in organized sport. Our lab's applied objective is to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-based education programs for parents at various levels of organized youth sport, ranging from recreational youth sport through elite intercollegiate competition. Our central hypothesis is that parents who are presented with such a program will modify their behavior so as to foster enhanced enjoyment and motivation for their children in sport. We base this hypothesis on past findings from the family and sport psychology literatures, as well as anecdotal reports in the popular media that convey children's dissatisfaction with common parenting behaviors such as overinvolvement, negative communication, and pressuring behaviors.
I work with students who share my passion for families and sport and who aim to produce high quality research that can be translated to the real world. Specifically, I wish to mentor and collaborate with motivated individuals who strive to understand and enhance the impact of family relationships and interactions on children's sport participation as well as the impact of that sport participation on family processes and outcomes.
The Families in Sport Lab is full for Fall 2020, but are keen to have conversations with graduate students wanting to apply for Fall 2021 admission or beyond.

Brand New Day: Thoughts on the Season Premiere of The Good Wife
The wait is over.
After months of waiting breathlessly for the repercussions of Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Will (Josh Charles) entering that hotel room together (with Alicia taking control of the situation), The Good Wife returned for the start of its third season ("A New Day"), written by Robert and Michelle King, with a new night and timeslot, a new haircut for Alicia, and a new office for our erstwhile good wife, who proved this week just how bad she can be.
Among other areas, The Good Wife has excelled in its handling of female sexuality, particularly in terms of how it's handled within the confines of a primetime broadcast network drama. This hasn't been a show featuring much bed-hopping from its main character, who spent the first two seasons coming to terms with her husband's infidelity, her passion towards her boss, and her decision to kick said husband to the curb after learning that he had slept with one of the few friends she had (that would be Archie Panjabi's Kalinda Sharma, naturally). On the night of his election victory.
This week's episode--which found Alicia representing a Muslim college student alternately accused of participating in violence at an interfaith rally and first-degree murder--may have revolved around ethnic tensions and avatar-based video gaming but it was the scene between Alicia and Will--in which they continued the affair they started in the season finale--that got tongues wagging this week. Was it too hot? Too steamy? Did it cross the line?
I'd argue that it was steamy but it was also a very mature handling of female sexuality, one that we don't ordinarily see on television, as Alicia gave into her own desires, once again taking control of the situation from her male partner, to achieve her own pleasure. It's no surprise that Alicia refuses to be objectified here; the title of the series speaks volumes about the way she had been objectified as the scandalized politician's wife. Likewise, the courtroom scenes proved that she refuses to bow to her husband, now newly returned to his seat of power, but instead promises an adversarial relationship with her estranged partner.
These two are all smiles in front of the kids, but the facades wear thin whenever they're alone: Alicia tells him that she'll make excuses for him rather than sit beside him over dinner at Zach's girlfriend's house; she refuses to be shaken when Peter tries to goad her into crumbling after proving her mettle in court. They might not be divorced, but these two are clearly already plotting their own particular revenges.
And that's a Good Thing. In its third season, The Good Wife isn't approaching anything--whether it be the struggling marriage between Peter and Alicia, the sexual tension between Alicia and Will, or the now fractured friendship between Alicia and Kalinda--as anything resembling a sacred cow. Instead, it's playing fast and loose with its dramatic underpinnings, creating a shifting landscape where anything is possible, plots can turn on a dime, and relationships can be undone with relative easy.
I will say that I am going to miss Kelli Giddish, who reprised her role from last season as the mercenary-minded Sophia Russo; her presence here gives us hints of the love triangle that the Kings told me would have gone down between Kalinda, Cary, and Sophia. She's a fantastic foil for Kalinda as well, their sexual tension simmering quite nicely (after a fling last season) while their competitive natures get the better of them. Having Sophia turn up like the metaphorical bad penny every time Kalinda got a lead on the investigation served to further intertwine their lives. It's a shame that we won't get to see this develop further now that Giddish is starring in NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Cary, meanwhile, is playing for keeps. It's remarkable just how much Matt Czuchry's character has changed since the early episodes of the series. Once an arrogant little minnow, Cary has become a ruthless shark, perfectly willing to do whatever he has to in order to win, in order to prove his place beside Peter at the state's attorney's office. Even his one seemingly altruistic act in this episode--slipping the traffic camera report to Kalinda--had an ulterior motive, as he then flipped the situation on its head, using the report to finger Alicia's client as the prime suspect in a brutal murder. (Which, to me, always felt deeply personal, rather than political: stabbed 45 times screams crime of passion, not hate crime, per se.) I'm curious to see where Cary is headed and whether his closed-off nature speaks to his association with the similarly compartmentalizing Kalinda.
However, I do want to see Alicia and Kalinda eventually come back to some sort of understanding, though I hope it takes a while for the ice to thaw between these two. As much as I loved Diane's insistence that the two women work out whatever is between them (implicit in that: an understanding that Diane doesn't want to know what it is), I thought the scene between Kalinda and Will at the bar underpinned Kalinda's loneliness this season. She's shut down emotionally again, unwilling to let Sophia in, unwilling to let anyone get too close after she got burned by Alicia. Maybe Kalinda does need a dog. (Plus, how awesome was Will's suggestion that "Kalinda and pooch" could solve crimes together?)
All in all, I thought that "A New Day" represented a fantastic start to the third season, one that immediately made me crave more episodes of The Good Wife immediately... and an installment that made me feel that perhaps winding down my weekend with Alicia and Co. on a Sunday evening is a great thing indeed.
However, I'm curious to know: what did you think of "A New Day"? What was your take on the Alicia/Will scene? Will Kalinda and Alicia ever mend their fences? What's going on with Grace and her new tutor? Head to the comments section to discuss.
Next week on The Good Wife ("The Death Zone"), Alicia must quickly learn English Law when a libel case she won in the United States is retried in a British court.

I thought it was about time that a love scene was focused more on the woman's needs than the man's! Congrats to the writers for a very steamy, well-written, poignant scene!
have to Wonder about Will's comment at the end: about not having emotions, and almost pretending that he feels things. Is this foreshadowing for what lies down the line w/ Alicia..?

I do love this show (even watched it in real time last night), but it seems like every week there's one truck-sized plot hole. Cary maneuvers the kid into swearing he was driving the car, and that means he's the murderer? Nonsense.
greebs said…
I love the show but felt the plot here (the court case) was pretty broadly drawn -- not sophisticated in the way the show normally is (charging someone with murder solely because their car is seen driving away?). And I hate Alicia's new haircut. But, love the show...
Re Alicia's new haircut: It's a wig folks, as was her last hair-do. If you've ever seen her on a talk show, her hair is darker and different. Take a closer look next week!
I found myself getting quite angry at Alicia for acting like she's got dibs on the moral high road (due to her husband's past infidelity) when she's lying to her kids, covering up an affair she's having and therefore making it into something illicit. She was also willing to have her client lie about his alibi, without a second thought.
I'm not so sure that I buy her complete 180. I get that they want to shake things up a bit, but I worry that the writers will take her too far. Not that it wouldn't be slightly interesting, but that it wouldn't be realistic. Going off the deep end, personally, is one thing (the "affair" with Will), but to lose her moral compass professionally? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
One more thing? I am really tired of heterosexual writers on crime shows making the gays or the lesbians the murderers. It's like this is how they show how accepting they are - equal opportunity to be the bad guy. The problem is that in truth, in the real world, gays and lesbians who are killers are RARE. Rarer than rare. In the real world, gays and lesbians are the victims 9.999 times out of 10. I'm getting tired of this new trope, which I think started on Law & Order (a show I loved).
John in Naples said…
I watch only one show faithfully every week, TGW, and I'm embarassed to say I turned it off when Alicia was having her orgasm - come on writers! This has absolutely nothing to do with expressing true female sexuality/needs on prime-time TV. It's a new bad day and it's way below what Alicia and/or TGW are capable of. John B in Naples

For Resort 2015, Fendi kept in its domain – furs, leather, deep jewel tones – but added a refreshing spin through pattern and accessories. Graphic polka dots, unexpected pleats, and abstract geometric digital prints gave the collection, quite literally, a lift. Orchid motifs in the final few looks infused a delicate freshness to the collection, otherwise full of heavy textiles and voluminous silhouettes.

Team, I'd like to share with you another great article which features Utopia IV on the cover of Yachts International magazine. The cover story is such a remarkable honor and the article itself provides a unique look behind our process and how we worked with Rossinavi to create Utopia IV. We designed Utopia IV to be something we can enjoy with family but it's also an important part of our business and we look forward to its continued use as a tremendous resource for our UnFranchise family. In the meantime, have a look below at this incredible article which highlights different design elements and information about Utopia IV. I love the fact that being featured in publications like this will help spark interest in the UnFranchise from people who may not have heard of it yet. More excellent branding for the business!


Air, Oxygen, is vital, you know what it's like if you are swimming in the ocean and you get held down by a strong surfing wave, scrambling to keep the ocean out of your lungs and the only thing you can focus on is getting yourself out of the water and sucking in some 'air'. Breathing air is vital for our human form to exist, but just as important as breathing is the quality of the air you breathe, the integrity of the oxygen will make or break your capacity to survive and thrive.
Remember that beautiful song by the Hollies with the words…., "All I Need Is The Air That I Breathe And To Love You…" I'll link in the Youtube clip in case you have never heard of it, which is highly likely if you only in your twenties!
Heres what Wikipedia says about - Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide.
All aerobic creatures need oxygen for cellular respiration, which uses the oxygen to break down foods for energy and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. Breathing, or "external respiration", brings air into the lungs where gas exchange takes place in the alveoli through diffusion. The body's circulatory system transports these gases to and from the cells, where "cellular respiration" takes place.
Breathing has other important functions. It provides a mechanism for speech, laughter and similar expressions of emotions. It is also used for reflexes such as yawning, coughing and sneezing. Animals that cannot thermoregulate by perspiration, because they lack sufficient sweat glands, may lose heat by evaporation through panting.
I wanted to get a very clear message across about air and air quality. Sometimes we go about our daily lives in a state of ignorant bliss, not taking time to consider the 'air that we breathe'. We just breathe! We are working in offices or environments that are off the scale in VOC's (volatile organic compounds). Several studies suggest that exposure to VOCs may make symptoms worse in people who have asthma or are particularly sensitive to chemicals. VOCsparticularly affect indoor air quality—concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to 10 times higher) than outdoors. The reason why VOCs are higher indoors is because of all the artificial stuff we surround ourselves with. Any time you can spend outside in nature with trees and plants is the 'best time', the best oxygen and air quality is outside!
Right now you are probably reading this in your room, which has carpet on the floor, or if not carpet some sort of artificial surface. You are in a room which has paint on the walls, curtains or blinds that have their own sort of outgassing. You more than likely are wearing clothes which are portable traps for dust and dust mites, which then make their way onto your skin. You may still have your shoes on, those very shoes that may have been walking around a property or around a city. We always remove our shoes before going inside! We also diffuse a few specific essential oils to improve the air quality, and to reduce the significant air pollution that can come into a home or office, regardless of your well-meaning efforts to keep the environment clean. We diffuse the following essential oils - Easy Air, because of the ingredients in the blend, which are - Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lemon, Ravensara and Cardamom. Add 2-3 drops to your diffuser, and use in the mornings and afternoons, and this one is suitable to diffuse at night in the bedroom to help clear the lungs. May be applied on the chest, the back, or the bottoms of the feet. Place a few drops on the palms of the hands, cup the hands over your nose and mouth, and breathe deeply, or inhale the aroma of the oil directly.
Just a few days before Christmas day, we painted our guest room and my office, which meant removing all the items in the office decluttering and disturbing all that dust (dead skin), I got the worse case of Hay fever ever, because I also had to contend with the pollens and grass seeds floating around our country property and surrounding farmlands. Yes, I certainly was outside more, but I was coping it from inside and out. I took Triease, which is a magnificent doTERRA supplement (basically essential oils, Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint.
We use the Clean Station Air Purifier (state of the art), hospital quality and able to leap tall buildings! We have a gadget that can read accurately the air particles in a room, and the more traffic you have in your air, the more issues your lungs and immune system have to cope with and the higher the reading. After leaving the air purifier in the room for a few hours, we retested the air, and the air particles had dropped down significantly. I'm not going to get all technical for this article because I will be writing more on this in the future.
Essential oils can cut through these air particles and certainly make a difference, and a good air purifier will take care of the rest. Stay tuned, as I will be sourcing a very good system soon, well worth investing in one of these if you are sensitive to air quality and mould (most people are).
When outside around trees and parklands, natural waterfalls, take deep and elongated breaths and savor the earth giving benefits. If you would like more assistance around air purifiers, essential oils for better breathing contact Anne Clark by writing to anne@anneclark.com.au.
Remember all you need is the air that you breathe and to love!

10 Mexican Food Facts That You Might Find Surprising As Well As Tempting
Whether you are a fan of Mexican Menu or not, you will be after reading these fun, surprising, and untold facts about this food. Yes, go ahead!
Rupesh Chhabra
Whenever we talk about good International food, there is always one name that pops up in mind, and that is 'Mexican food.' Yes, it is so popular that it has even influenced other cuisines from all over the world.
And why not? We must say that anyone who has already tasted a Mexican dish is aware of the rich palette of flavor that explodes in our mouth. Even for the pickiest of eaters, the ethnic combo dance of spices, meats, herbs, and vegetables is enough to satisfy the taste buds.
In all, it's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy eating such food. But, surprisingly, we know so little about it in comparison to the amount of love we have for it. Even we don't know much about its history, origin, and even preparation styles. However, if you are curious to know all this, we are here to help.
Yes, here we will learn about the true history or the origin of Mexican food, also traditional and current preparation methods of the Mexican dishes, and even some bizarre Mexican food style you are probably not aware of. Besides that, we will check out some fun Mexican food facts to know it better.
About the Mexican Food
Source = Noriegacomputerservices
Like we mentioned above, authentic Mexican food is delicious, vibrant, fresh, and fun. It is also spicy, colorful, and uses an amazing array of chilies, both dried and fresh. Many ingredients to make Mexican dishes are easily available everywhere, such as tomatoes, coriander, limes, red onion, corn, etc. Even avocado and more specialty ingredients are now easily available in Australia and elsewhere.
Moreover, among the staples of Mexican food are corn and beans. Specifically, Corn is used for making mouthwatering recipes from ancient times like masa, a dough which is then turned into tamales and tortillas, whereas corn and beans feature prominently in many dishes.
Among the herbs and spices that give it a taste, there is a specific flavor in Mexican cooking. In addition to all, a variety of chilies (fresh, smoked, dried, and pickled), alongside coriander (known as cilantro in North America), oregano, cocoa, and cinnamon is its distinct kick. Garlic, lemons, onions, and limes are also used generously.
In terms of cuisine, Mexico's six regions vary considerably due to key differences in geography, weather, and ethnic makeup. Like if we talk about the north of Mexico, it is known for its beef, ostrich and goat production. Then Yucatan is known for its achiote; it's the most common seasoning, and also food tends to be sweeter and less spicy there, whereas, in the Oaxacan region, the savory tamales and mole sauces are very popular.
Apart from that, famous dishes of Central Mexico comprise pozole (a pre-Columbian meat stew) and carnitas (braised or roasted pork.) Plus, Southeastern Mexico cooking is known for its fish dishes and spicy vegetable and chicken dishes, and its cooking also has a Caribbean influence due to its geography.
Most of the people outside of Mexico have this common perception that Mexican food is both heavy as well. But that's not entirely true because Mexican food has both a fresh lightness from its generous use of fresh herbs, citrus, and vegetables and a depth of flavor because of its combination of savory and earthy flavors.
Moreover, it would be very unusual to put cheese in food, for example, tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, in most Mexico, and if you want to use, it would be a Mexican panela cheese (a fresh, smooth, white cheese).
Like in Australia, Mexican food has long been far more of the "Tex Mex" variety, but this is slowly but surely developing.
History of Mexican Food
Source = Mygreatrecipesblog
If we talk about the history of Mexican food, it is a very long and diverse one. There is a belief that authentic Mexican food might have been derived from the Mayan Indians. They were traditionally nomadic gatherers and hunters. In general, they used to eat Corn tortillas with bean paste, but they also had the wild game, fish, and tropical fruits in their menu.
The Aztec Empire was thriving in the mid-1300s, and though the Mayan food staples were still in use, honey, chili peppers, salt, and chocolate found its way into their cooking. And, besides all these, some of the wild game also, like duck and turkey, had now become domesticated.
Further, in 1521, Spain invaded Mexico. And, it was the time when Spanish foods had the most influence on Mexican cuisine. Not only that, but also they have introduced new livestock, such as sheep, cows, and pigs. Plus, they brought dairy products with them, and garlic along with the many different herbs, spices, and wheat.
Hence, we could say that it was the time when Mexican people saw the assimilation of many other cuisines, including the Caribbean, French, South American, Portuguese, and West African. Must say that because of these diverse Mexican foods, dishes today vary from place to place.
Cooking Methods in Early Times
Source = Tasteofhome
In the early times, natives of Mexico did not have ovens; hence, they used to heat food over and open fire, using ceramic ware and cast iron skillets. Yes, they did not use to have proper resources, so they invented their food hacks and kitchen hacks to prepare food. Like they used another method to heat food, such as steaming. And for that, they would suspend meat wrapped in banana or cactus leaves over boiling water in a deep pit. Besides, frying was also very popular among people.
Apart from all, some of them also used a metate y mano, a large tool made of lava rock or stone that they would use as the molcajete or grinding stone, which was smaller in shape, to smash and grind ingredients.
Typically, the molcajete or mortar is a small bowl-shaped container that can be made of pottery, stone, marble, or hardwood to smash stuff inside it, whereas the pestle is baseball bat-shaped to grind things.
Some Mind-Blowing Mexican Food Facts
Source = Tripsavvy.
Many of the Mexican dishes are very popular, like tacos, tamales, guacamole, and enchiladas. It is true. And not only in the outside of Mexico, but those are also very popular in Mexico too. Still, when it comes to real Mexican food, all these are merely the tip of the iceberg.
Yes, there are so many dishes and ingredients, and it's almost impossible to know all of them. The Mexican-inspired food that you normally get in any place that is not Mexico is very different from the authentic Mexican cuisine.
So, let's have a look at the list of these interesting facts associated with Mexican food:
1. Mexican Cuisine is a Rainbow
Source = I.pinimg
In every single Mexican dish, there is a mix of Native European and American ingredients and flavors with hints of Middle Eastern and African influence. These huge combinations come up with a truly surprising explosion of flavors. And, the best exmple of it is multi- colored edible corn.
2. Packed With a Variety
Source = Onceinalifetimejourney
You're probably surrounded by burrito bars, taco trucks, or even torta restaurants, depending on where you live. But the point is these tasty treats are far from all that Mexican food has to offer.
Yes, even the most basic dish at your favorite Mexican restaurant's menu is reasonable to have delicious options you've never tried, such as pozole and tlayudas. And, also you can spice up your go-to order, like, by having chicken tacos mixing up with sauces and salsas.
Ranging from mild tomatillo to the "scary hot" Carolina Reaper, Moe's Southwest Grill has five types of salsa so you can give your taste buds all types of tingles.
3. It Can be Vegetarian-Friendly
Source = Img.theculturetrip
Well, in Mexico, just because you've chosen the vegetarian lifestyle, you don't have to give up your favorite cuisine. Mexican food offers lots of vegetarian- and even vegan-friendly options, ranging from stuffed poblano peppers and vegetable-filled quesadillas to tortilla soup.
However, at Mexican restaurants, vegetarian eating isn't always top of mind, hence do read the menu and ask to make sure chicken stock isn't an ingredient in anything (especially rice and soups).
Another best thing about Mexican dishes is that they are often customizable, for example, Qdoba's vegetarian taco salad, which comes with your choice of beans, rice, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, and many more.
So, you can choose what best suits your taste buds or also you can try something new every time you visit there.
4. It is Healthier Than You Think
Source = Img.webmd.
This doesn't mean that you are going to lose weight by eating platters of steak burritos slathered with cheese, but all we are saying is Mexican food is packed with ingredients that are great for your health.
For example, beans combined with rice make a satisfying and complete protein, Avocados are full of vitamins and fiber, and salsa (pico de gallo) is just vegetables made delicious with spices.
So, build-your-own bowl, taco, or salad, and gain most from the good-for-you ingredients like lean proteins and veggies. And obviously, don't forget about healthy seafood choices, like Rubio's tacos along with grilled fish, including wild salmon and mahi-mahi. Even the names are mouth-watering. Isn't it?
5. The Mexican Food is All About the Regions
Source = Chimuadventures.
Whenever we think of exploring all the varieties of Mexican food, we need to go region to region. Yes, Mexico is a large country, and because of its remarkably complex geography, the food there is regionally diverse.
Like if we talk about Northern Mexico, it is famous for its cheeses (try the asadero). Then at the Pacific Coast, pozole and menudo are so popular. The area around Guanajuato gifts us Delicious carnitas, while all the amazing varieties of mole comes from Oaxaca.
You'll find pibil in Yucatan, and the gulf presents delicious pollo encacahuatado (chicken in peanuts). Further, for the best barbacoa and tortas, you can visit central Mexico. Moreover, Cal-Mex and Tex-Mex have become cuisines in their own right.
6. The Cuisine Was Influenced by Immigrants
Source = Static01.nyt.
Many of the traditional Mexican dishes, as well as ingredients, were adopted in Mexico with a wave of immigration. Like confectionery and pastry-making turned popular in the 19th century that too after two French invasions. Next, the arrival of more Italian and French immigrants brought other new ingredients, such as strong cheese and pasta.
Moreover, Cornish settlers brought their traditional pasty in the central province of Hidalgo, which later became the Mexican paste. Plus, on the coast, Caribbean influence is also amazing in the local cuisine, with coconut oil and plantains.
Chinese immigrants made rice a popular food in the 19th century, and also the Lebanese arrivals brought new additions to Yucatan cuisine. Hence we can see how much Mexican food is a melting pot of nationalities.
7. The Desserts are To-Die-For
Source = Images.media-allrecipes
If dessert is your favorite course, "Postre" is the word you want to remember. Also, you can look for sweet treats like churros (think long doughnuts), flan (for the caramel lover), and galletas (cookies) to finish your meal off right.
Oh, and make sure you order leches cake if you want to treat your taste buds with the best Mexican sweet dish. You know it is best because this incredibly moist cake is soaked in three kinds of milk to add a unique flavor; hence, it is called with name tres leches or three milks in Spanish.
More interestingly, Mexicans use fruits for desserts. For example, they mash the pulp of Black Sapote fruit and then mix it with brandy to serve it with cream as an adult dessert. Mouthwatering, right?
8. Adds Chiles to Dessert
Source = Mexicanfoodjournal
Another unique fact of Mexican food is they add chiles to their desserts to supplement some hot and sweet taste
9. Mexican Cuisine Offers Many Delicious Gifts to the World
Source = Oldcook
Like we mentioned above that Mexican Cuisine was influenced by Immigrants; similarly, Mexico has also contributed greatly to all the world's cuisines with ingredients such as corn, avocados, tomatoes, cacao, chili peppers, beans, vanilla, and chocolate. Yes, you read it right, the history of chocolate can be traced to the ancient Olmecs of southern Mexico.
Just imagine living without chocolate or vanilla! Oops, Thanks to Mexico.
10. Mexican Cuisine is a World Treasure
Source = Inspiredentertainmen
Mexican cuisine is not just for Mexico; it became a part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010. Yes, and guess what the only cuisines on that list are Mexican and French.
And that's how amazing Mexican food is! Aren't you feeling hungry? Run to the nearest Mexican restaurants and have fun. Also, tell us- were you surprised or amazed by these Mexican Food facts? Leave us a comment now!

Marketing bosses landed with six-year disqualifications
Two marketing bosses disqualified for total of 12 years after causing their company to pay more than £830,000 to businesses they had connections with.
With offices in London and Sheffield, White Space Communications Ltd was incorporated in September 2000, providing web design and marketing services.
Jeffrey Alexander Roberts (65) and Anthony John Samuel Barry (56) were both appointed directors of the agency in 2013.
Two years after their appointment, however, the company went into administration in April 2015 and just under a year later, entered into liquidation in January 2016 owing at least £364,000 to creditors.
This triggered an investigation into the company's affairs by the Insolvency Service and investigators found that from May 2014, the two directors caused or allowed White Space to make £831,000 worth of payments or loans to companies they had connections with.
The directors failed to provide any explanation or valid commercial reason to investigators for the loans and the monies paid were unrecoverable, which meant creditors who were owed money in the liquidation lost out.
Jeffrey Roberts and Anthony Barry have now given disqualification undertakings to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy having accepted they breached their fiduciary duties.
The bans prevent them from becoming directly or indirectly involved in the promotion, formation or management of a company for six years. Jeffrey's disqualification was made effective from 6 November 2018, while Anthony Barry's ban came into affect on 19 November 2018.
Martin Gitner, Deputy Head, Insolvent Investigations, part of the Insolvency Service said:
The Insolvency Service will not hesitate to investigate and seek to disqualify directors who have caused a company to loan or pay monies to connected parties rather than to the benefit of either the company or its creditors.
Mr Roberts, date of birth is October 1953 and resides in Lorgues, France.
Mr Barry, date of birth is December 1961 and resides in London.
The Company went into administration on 14 April 2015 and Creditors Voluntary Liquidation on 27 January 2016 with an estimated deficiency of £401,239.
Matters of unfitness, which Mr Roberts and Mr Barry did not dispute, were that from 22 May 2014, they breached their fiduciary duties in that they caused or allowed White Space Communications Limited ("White Space") to make payments or loans to connected companies, which were to the risk and ultimate detriment of creditors accrued from that point:
They were both appointed as directors on 12 June 2013. In the period between 12 June 2013 and 22 May 2014 loans of £554,492 were recorded as having been made to companies connected to them and these companies were debtors of White Space in the sum of £554,492.
During the period 22 May 2014 and 15 April 2015, further net payments of £178,662 were made to the connected companies with the sum being shown in the accounting records as owed to White Space at liquidation increasing to £831,394.
From 22 May 2014 onwards returns totaling at least £184,636 were submitted in respect of Value Added Tax ("VAT"). In the same period, payments of £55,000 were made in respect of VAT, such that tax authorities submitted a claim for VAT totaling £183,152 (including surcharges) at liquidation.
Sums outstanding in respect of Pay As You Earn/National Insurance Contributions increased from £212 due following month 5 of the 2014/2015 tax year (05/09/2014), to £106,369 being claimed by tax authorities at liquidation.
Creditors outstanding at liquidation totaled at least £364,246 while loans outstanding from companies connected to the directors totaled £831,394 and were unrecoverable. The directors failed to provide any explanation or valid commercial reason for the loans.
A disqualification order has the effect that without specific permission of a court, a person with a disqualification cannot:
act as a director of a company
take part, directly or indirectly, in the promotion, formation or management of a company or limited liability partnership
be a receiver of a company's property
Disqualification undertakings are the administrative equivalent of a disqualification order but do not involve court proceedings. Further information on director disqualifications and restrictions can be found here.
The Insolvency Service administers the insolvency regime, investigating all compulsory liquidations and individual insolvencies (bankruptcies) through the Official Receiver to establish why they became insolvent. It may also use powers under the Companies Act 1985 to conduct confidential fact-finding investigations into the activities of live limited companies in the UK. In addition, the agency authorises and regulates the insolvency profession, deals with disqualification of directors in corporate failures, assesses and pays statutory entitlement to redundancy payments when an employer cannot or will not pay employees, provides banking and investment services for bankruptcy and liquidation estate funds and advises ministers and other government departments on insolvency law and practice.
Further information about the work of the Insolvency Service, and how to complain about financial misconduct, is available.

HANK WILLIAMS JR. TO WRITE YANKEE THEME SONG
October 11, 2011 by Frank Lake
NEW YORK – The New York Yankees have hired Hank Williams Jr. to write a theme song for the Yankees.
After watching Hank Williams Jr.'s appearance on "The View" today, Yankee general manager, Brain Cashman, invited Bocephus to Yankee Stadium. Within an hour Cashman and Williams reportedly inked a deal in which Williams will pen a new Yankee Theme Song as well as a song for Major League Baseball (and a birthday song for Cashman's daughter).
Williams wore a Mickey Mantle shirt on the The View because he felt that Mickey Mantle was bridge between Oklahoma and New York City and he would be a bridge between Nashville and New York City.
Last week Williams burned a number of bridges.
Last week, Williams compared a golf game between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner to a meeting between Adolph Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an appearance on Fox and Friends. Since then, he has been fired by ESPN as a pregame questioner of the nation's readiness for football, and has released his own song which raises his middle fingers to to his foes (in particular Fox and Friends and ESPN.) Today he appeared on The View to explain himself in a roller coaster of a segment.

Bocephus was not specifically comparing Obama to Hitler; he was simply drawing an analogy of opposites (and pulled out a dictionary for Sherri Shepherd to read aloud.) He also appears to hold most of his anger for the Disney corporation (who owns both ESPN and The View), to whom he appeared to blame for an infringement of his First Amendment rights (though it's not clear how or why.)
There are many reasons why Williams Jr. deserves credit for going on a Disney-owned television show to explain his side of the brouhaha, not least of which is his decision to wear a Mickey Mantle Yankees jersey. Mantle bridged the gap between Oklahoma and NYC, just as Bocephus himself was aiming to do as well.
