The revised Payments Services Directive (PSD2) is designed to improve consumer rights and encourage innovation in the payments services industry by facilitating Open Banking.
Open Banking has the potential to revolutionise the payments and fintech industries, but with this tide of change comes a new wave of security risks which financial services firms must be prepared to address.
The Payments Services Directive (PSD) was introduced by the European Banking Authority (EBA) in 2007 in order to regulate the payments services industry, improve consumer protection and increase competition across the sector.
A revised Directive, PSD2, took effect on 13th January 2018 and builds on the initial iteration of the legislation by aiming to facilitate Open Banking, enhance consumer rights and reduce financial fraud. In the UK, PSD2's requirements are enforced by both the Payments Systems Regulator (PSR) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The majority of the PSD2's requirements became law in January 2018. However, requirements for Open Banking and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) will not come into effect until September 2019.
Open Banking is a term used in the financial services industry to describe the process of transferring ownership of financial information from banks to customers.
PSD2 includes a set of new rules designed to facilitate open banking by requiring Payment Service Providers (PSPs) to provide approved Third Party Providers (TPPs) with access to customer data via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Open Banking is designed to encourage innovation and competition by allowing TPPs to develop new financial products and applications that give consumers greater visibility and control over their finances. Open Banking is optional for financial institutions in many parts of the world, but PSD2 makes it mandatory for any operating within the EU.
Two categories of TPP are introduced in PSD2; Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs), that use APIs to provide payment processing services, and Account Information Services Providers (AISPs), that use APIs to present an aggregated view of individuals' finances.
With the PSD2 implementation deadline on 14th September 2019, time is running out for PSPs to finalise and secure their API ecosystems.
While Open Banking promises to usher in a new era of flexibility in the banking industry, it also brings with it a wide range of security risks. If not properly secured, the very same APIs designed to open up the banking system to encourage innovation also present new opportunities for cybercriminals to compromise sensitive customer information.
Modern banking applications are typically composed of rich clients that connect to REST APIs over HTTP. Bad coding, implementation and configuration of applications at both PSP and TPP levels could result in critical security vulnerabilities, leading to loss of service availability, plus theft, corruption and destruction of user data.
API and application front-end vulnerabilities, for example, could leave systems susceptible to injection attacks leading to the loss of personal information, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks resulting in the interception of transaction data, and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks that compromise the quality and availability of service for users.
PSD2's RTS require PSPs to provide secure API-based communication channels for PSPs, backed up by robust transparency, permissioning and reporting procedures. To achieve PSD2 compliance, it is important for PSPs to regularly test security controls to identify and address API vulnerabilities before they can be exploited maliciously.
PSD2's new SCA requirements are designed to enhance security and reduce fraud by requiring at least two levels of authentication before transactions can be made. Levels can be based on knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user possesses) and inherence (something the user is).
After lobbying from the payments community, these authentication requirements are subject to a range of exemptions to reduce transaction friction, including face-to-face contactless payments under €50, plus recurring and whitelisted payments.
As part of testing programmes, both PSPs and TPPs should also look to review authentication measures on a continuous basis to ensure they comply with PSD2 SCA requirements.
To support PSD2's Regulatory Technical Standards, the EBA has published a range of complementary security measures that PSPs should implement to help manage operational and security risks relating to payment services.
With security threats evolving rapidly, the EBA points out that its guidelines should remain flexible, so that they stay relevant in a changing risk landscape. The first EBA guideline, the General Principle, establishes that PSPs should comply with all provisions, but measures should be proportionate to the PSP's size and to the nature, scope, complexity and riskiness of its service.

Non-linear dependence between two continuous variables has been given but little consideration among statisticians to this day, and no correlation index has been contrived, apart from the semi-categorized eta square coefficient in the anova context. Here, a non-parametric, rank-based approach is implemented, giving rise to two coefficients, RY, which measures the non-linear (and non-monotonic) variation of the Y series concomitant to the X series, and RXY, a symmetrised measure of the non-linear correspondence between the two series. The gist of the approach resides in the postulate that, if the series are related in any manner, numerically consecutive values of one variable should be linked to values of the other variable having reduced mutual differences. RY and RXY are presented here, with their first moments and sets of exact and approximate critical values, and they are the distribution-free counterparts of coefficients A and AS (Laurencelle, 2012) formerly presented for the normal parametric context.


So, assume that everything went fine. zzr got the manuals. There is no bloodshed. Everyone is fine.
Answer Razorclaw's second question: How to marry zzr and zwj?
This depends on what ZM does. If she renounces her position and voluntarily gives up the sword, then I can't see ZWJ being so heartless as to abandon her. Also, we must remember that ZWJ wants freedom most of all. In his eyes ZZR represents responsibility and obligation. While ZM was freedom and the chance to be himself.
Even if the script is changed, it will be extremely difficult for zwj and zzr to marry. Unless zm turned bad.

Known for its high quality of life and family-friendly atmosphere, Hickory is a picture-perfect North Carolina town. The All-American City was once originally named Hickory Tavern, and local ingenuity built the town into a furniture-making, textile-producing powerhouse. The city is home to one of the nation's oldest furniture manufacturers, Hickory White originally called Hickory Manufacturing Company.
Today, these furniture and textile industries are joined by fiber-optic cable companies and data centers employing thousands of locals. Local transportation, government and services are robust too. Getting around the region is easy with Interstate 40 and the convenience of Hickory Regional Airport. Residents are kept safe with responsive public servants, including the Hickory Fire Department, Hickory Police Department and Hickory Public Works Department.
The Hickory area's bountiful public services and industries aren't the only reasons the city was named one of the country's most livable cities though. Locals appreciate the city's ample recreation, entertainment and heritage. Whether you enjoy fishing on Lake Hickory, cheering on the local minor league baseball team, seeing a budding NASCAR star or strolling Hickory Southwest Downtown Historic District, life is fun in Hickory.
House hunters looking for variety and affordability find them both in Hickory. At any given time, about 100 single family homes and condos are for sale in the Hickory area. While the average selling price of $199,693 increased slightly in the past year, many Hickory homes are still bargains. Half the homes on the current market sell for less than $166,000, and there are several spacious homes and condos listed for less than $100,000. This wide range of home prices gives prospective homebuyers plenty of opportunity and choice.
Hickory has many excellent neighborhoods featuring nice homes on shady streets. If you're looking for generously sized lots and pretty homes, consider northern and central neighborhoods. Northlakes homes in northern Hickory offers private lake access and recreation areas with homes ranging from $200,000 to $300,000. More centralized, Huntington Forest showcases beautifully kept homes near Hampton Heights Golf Course. These homes are close to shopping and dining, and they are affordable at $100,000 to $200,000. If you dream of waterfront living, Lake Hickory neighborhoods like Olde Mill Landing and Crystal Falls are good choices. They're close to marinas, shops and schools, and they boast incredible views. These homes range from $300,000 to more than $800,000.
If you want to accelerate your path to homeownership, consider a rent to own arrangement. Renting to own offers greater flexibility, convenience and affordability than a conventional home purchase. With a rent to own home, you won't have to arrange a mortgage right away; that usually comes at the end of the rent to own contract period. You have time to build up a down payment, and you can usually move into your new home right away. Best of all, you'll usually partner with the home's seller to coordinate the process, giving you greater control of the timing and financing.
House hunters looking for an affordable hometown find plenty of savings in Hickory. Buying a home or renting an apartment here is very economical, costing 31 percent less than in other American towns. Hickory locals also pay 8 percent less on utilities, 5 percent less on transportation and 4 percent less on health care than the average American. While groceries may cost 4 percent more in Hickory than the national average, the overall expense of living here is 12 percent cheaper than in other cities.
Named by Readers Digest as the 10th best place in America to live and raise a family, there's plenty to love about Hickory. Nestled in the foothills along the Catawba River and Lake Hickory, the city is scenic and recreation-rich. Its neighborhoods are equally picturesque, located on tree-lined streets in the central and northern regions. Living in these charming neighborhoods is affordable for homebuyers of nearly all income levels since the city's homes cost only 69 percent of the national average. Other living expenses are low, too, so families, retirees and singles can easily build their lives here comfortably even on tight budgets.


To boost wave power, researchers created a device with 50 thin metal sheets arranged in circle, a configuration that allows water to flow through from any direction. A small open area in the middle has a floor raised relative to the outer edge of the device, helping to increase wave height. Image credit: ZY Wang.
Engineers have long dreamed of tapping into the vast quantities of renewable energy available in the motion of ocean waves, but designing apparatuses to harness such power efficiently has so far proven difficult. Borrowing a technique from optical physics, a team has shown a new way to concentrate waves, tripling their height and allowing for better extraction of their energy. The results appeared in Physical Review Letters.
The constant churning of the ocean should in principle be a useful source of electricity—a mechanical lever moving back and forth with the waves could run a turbine that produces power. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, estimates that the total recoverable energy available along the U.S. coast could be 1,170 terawatt-hours/year, or roughly one-third of the country's total energy needs.
During the 1970s oil crisis, interest in all kinds of renewable energies spiked, but wave power development has since lagged behind solar and wind. More than 1,000 different wave energy converter designs have been proposed, but researchers have yet to converge on the optimal form.
Some versions consist of simple buoys moving up and down, while others are hollow floating boxes. Still other types of concentrators send waves up a small ramp and then allow them to drain through a hole and run a turbine, explains mechanical engineer Robert Thresher of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. None is inexpensive and reliable enough to see the given technique more widely deployed, he says.
The same equations describe both water waves and electromagnetic waves, so Chen was able to use his optics expertise to help design a new type of concentrating tank. The device consists of 50 thin metal sheets arranged in circle like vertical flower petals, allowing water to flow through them from any direction. A small open area in the central meeting point of the sheets has a floor raised relative to the outer edge of the device.
Water waves are focused through the slits and sent up small ramps. The difference in height scrunches the waves and raises their height. The team built two designs, a small 70-millimeter-diameter version that doubled wave heights and a larger 43-centimeter device that succeeded in tripling the amplitudes of certain waves, allowing them to impart more force on a mechanical lever that generates electricity. Not all waves received the same boost—the devices were optimized for certain frequencies: 4.95 and 7.05 Hertz for the small version and 1.5 Hertz for the larger one. But even those outside this range received some increase in their height. Chen says their next iteration should work for a broad range of frequencies.
As an added bonus, the design also suppresses any back-scattering waves. In many other wave concentrating devices, these waves often travel in an unintended direction and counteract the power-generating waves.
Chen says the team is now working on a version that is around 10 times bigger than their larger device. He hopes to test in near-shore shallow waters where inclement weather is less of a problem.


The Tasmanian devil is often misunderstood. When people think of Tasmanian devils, they think of Taz from Looney Toons. Taz is destructive, uncontrollable, and maybe a little crazy. People also know that Tasmanian devils are carnivorous, which makes them afraid that these critters from Down Under might eat them. It's true: Exotic animals can be scary!
But in reality, these furry guys are no devils. Tim Faulker is a keeper at Devil Ark, a free-range Tasmanian devil sanctuary in New South Wales, Australia. He wants the public to have a better understanding of these incredible creatures.
In a video posted online, Faulker shows the zany, lovable activities of baby Tasmanian devils. The recording shows the lovable creatures running around the sanctuary, chasing Faulker. In other scenes, they climb up and down their keeper, yawn at the camera, and drink milk from a bottle. When the day is done, Faulker gives them some hard-earned belly rubs.
So, here's the truth about devils: They do hunt and scavenge for prey. But they are also strong swimmers, they love to climb trees, and they are quick and hardy animals. They use their excellent sense of smell to look for food, but their sweet nature balances out their killer instincts. The bonds they form with both caretakers and each other are strong and lasting. Besides, when full-grown, they're only about the size of a small dog! Plus, as Faulker's video shows, they are pretty darn cute.
Tasmanian devils also are on the endangered species list. Because of this, it's more important than ever to try to understand devils, rather than be afraid of them. If Tasmanian devils get support from us, we can help grow their population back to normal. Faulker isn't just a keeper; he also raises money for Devil Ark and the sanctuary's efforts to breed and nurture Tasmanian devils.
After seeing the video, you won't be afraid of these little ones anymore!
SHARE this with your friends to help spread the word about baby Tasmanian devils.

Daniel Jones Looks Like He Belongs, Eli Manning Doesn't
By Ryan Phillips
Daniel Jones was impressive once again Thursday night during his third round of preseason action. The rookie quarterback was poised in the pocket and continues to look like a guy who should be starting for the rebuilding New York Giants.
Jones went 9-for-11 for 141 yards and led the Giants on a touchdown drive. He also lost a fumble on a sack, but bounced back to show well. He's gonna get hit a lot behind New York's offensive line if he sees action this year, so that was good to see. Hey, maybe Giants general manager Dave Gettleman actually knows what he's doing…
Only the beginning❗#dannydimes pic.twitter.com/6Cnqjs3l3u
— Darius Slayton (@Young_Slay2) August 23, 2019
So far this preseason, Jones has completed 25-of-30 passes for 369 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions after being drafted with the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
A lot was made about Jones' selection, especially considering the Giants continue to insist they're married to Eli Manning under center. Sure, it's the preseason, but you can tell when a guy looks like he belongs. Jones looks like he belongs.
Frankly, given how Jones has played, it's worth giving serious consideration to starting him Week 1. Manning isn't anything better than an average quarterback. He's 38 and not getting any better. The Giants aren't going to win a Super Bowl anytime soon. Why not let Jones and Saquon Barkley build something special together?
Manning's future should be meaningless to the franchise's future. It's over for him and they have his 22-year-old replacement ready and raring to go. Sure, they could ease Jones in this year, or they could just bite the bullet and let the kid play, take his lumps and grow.
The Giants need to consider making the switch soon.

"I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done."
— Lucille Ball
Lucille Ball was known as America's favorite redhead, but she was much more than that. She proved herself an innovator, risk-taker, and uncompromising leader. At age 22, she became a Chesterfield cigarette girl and her face was splashed across ads, billboards, posters and window displays promoting cigarettes. She also modeled fashionable outfits for wealthy clientele.
In 1933, Lucille moved from New York to California to pursue an acting career. Her first role was a nonspeaking part in Roman Scandals. A year later, she had appeared in ten films but failed to attain a single screen credit. Wanting more, she attended acting school run by Ginger Roger's mother. There Lucille learned the importance of elocution, how to dress, speak, carry herself, and act.
At age 24, she'd appeared in 15 movies and earned herself the title of "queen of the B films." During the Golden Age of Hollywood, B films were lesser-known pictures that played during the second half of a double feature.
In 1940, Lucille starred in the musical, Too Many Girls where she co-starred with 23-year-old, Cuban band leader, Desi Arnaz. The couple married five months later. Then World War II hit.
Two years later Ms. Ball landed her first big role for MGM in Du Barry Was A Lady. This was also her first film shot in color. Upon the studio's insistence, the actress dyed her hair strawberry blond so she could "pop" on screen. In the meantime, her husband had been drafted into the Army.
When she was 37, Lucille got the lead role in the radio comedy show, My Favorite Husband, CBS decided to turn the series into a television show. The actress insisted Desi play her husband but the studio refused, stating that the audience would never believe the actress was married to a Cuban bandleader. Lucille's response to their rejection was simple. "If no one will give us a job together, we'll give ourselves one." The couple embarked on a 12-week vaudeville tour about a wacky housewife who tries desperately to land a part in her husband's show. The act was so successful, that CBS acquiesced and gave Desi the role as Lucille's on-screen husband.
In 1950, the couple formed Desilu Productions and a year later Lucille found out she was pregnant. That's when she decided the only way for the family to be together was to get Desi off the road, as a traveling bandleader, and create an opportunity where they could act together. CBS secured a sponsor for I Love Lucy and Lucille decided to take the gamble and give up acting in films. She was in, all or nothing.
Three and a half weeks after their daughter, Lucie was born, I Love Lucy was scheduled to premiere. Unfortunatley the couple had no cast, crew, or location to shoot the show. Panicked by the realization, CBS gave Desilu complete control of producing the show. With only nine days left before shooting began, Desi rented an unused movie studio where they built two soundstages and a set showcasing the Ricardo's bedroom, living room, kitchen, and Desi's nightclub, The Tropicana Club.
It was Lucille, however, who insisted they film the show before a live studio audience, something that had never been undertaken. But if there was one thing the comedic actress knew, it was that she would perform better surrounded by the energy and reactions of the live viewers.
With no time to spare, the couple hired their crew, editors, actors, make-up artists, and cameramen a mere six days before shooting began. An hour before the audience arrived to shoot the show's pilot, the last nail was hammered into the set. But the gamble paid off. The pilot rated in the top 10 shows in the country and twenty shows later, it ranked number one. Over time I Love Lucy was watched by 40 million views and became the highest rated show on television. In fact, the show was so popular that Marshall Field's closed its doors early on Monday nights because shoppers were home watching their favorite red head attempt to convince her husband to give her a part in his show. There was no use trying to hail a cab in New York during that time either, as the drivers were glued to nearby televisions, as well.
By this time, Lucy has eliminated any barriers keeping from her dreams. She was shooting a weekly comedy show with her husband and was enjoying the benefits of motherhood. But that didn't take the vigor out of this spitfire. When she became pregnant with her second child, she turned Hollywood on its ear again by portraying a pregnant character on television while also being pregnant. It wasn't an easy road. The studio wouldn't allow the actors to refer to Lucille as "pregnant" onscreen. She was "expectant." The couple partnered with a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. This may sound like the start of a joke, but all kidding aside television stars asked the clergy to read the scripts to ensure they didn't offend anyone. Lucille's impending birth resulted in worldwide hysteria.
Eight days after their son, Desi Arnaz, Jr. was born, I Love Lucy won the Emmy for Best Situation Comedy and Lucille scored the award for "Best Comedienne." By the close of the 1952-53 season, the series remained the top-rated show for eleven consecutive months.
In 1955, the show went into reruns and the couple earned $30K an episode. That's the equivalent of $284K by today's standards. On top of which Lucille and Desi licensed I Love Lucy merchandise so avid fans could fill their homes with everything from I Love Lucy pajamas and aprons, to bongo drums, dolls, tile, furniture, and wallpaper. In fact, the actress purposely wore dresses on the show that came from the I Love Lucy clothing collection and were sold in 3,000 stores around the country. She also sold her share of Desilu Productions for $17M. Amazing abundance for a woman who stockpiled pencils her whole life as a result of her challenging financial upbringing.
But if there was one thing about Lucille Ball, she never let hardship, obstacles, or lack of imagination get in her way. Take a lesson from this legendary trailblazer; "The more things you do, the more you can do."

Get The Gloss: Where did you grow up and what were your aspirations as a young girl?
Lorena Puica: I grew up in Arad, Romania. I was always eager to try new things and throughout my teens I enjoyed learning ballet, gymnastics, aerobics, tennis, martial arts & painting. Nevertheless, my secondary & high school years were mostly dedicated to studying maths, physics, chemistry and psychology. I was always fascinated about finding out how our minds work and why things in our ecosystems work as they do; understanding the formulas that make our world go on and on. My biggest dream was to become a physicist just like my dad!
GTG: You describe your first passion as microfinance- how did you first discover you were talented in the field of finance and strategy?
LP: At 17 my father passed away and that sent my family into quite a bit of turmoil. Those challenging times made me focus on what I needed to do next. Challenges have a beautiful way of enhancing focus and expanding our self-imposed limitations - and I love making the perceived impossible - possible. So I left home with only 300 euros in my pocket, moved to Timisoara and started studying finance.
Soon afterwards I received various scholarships one of which was an Erasmus study exchange scholarship in Germany. Studying international management in Deggendorf and doing research work for the director of the program led me to Microfinance. That passion further expanded as I worked on a strategy project with Allianz SE in Munich.
Microfinance is for me a beautiful tool to empower even the most disempowered to take action to change their circumstances. Microfinance provides very small loans, (especially to groups of women due to their very high repayment rates), to enable them to start their mini-businesses – which can be buying a cow and selling the milk, or buying a mobile phone and renting it to the rest of the village for one-off calls. This is a beautiful example of how even the smallest of effort can lead to a significant positive change.
GTG: How did you make the swap from the corporate business world to natural health? What inspired you to found IamYiam?
LP: About seven years ago I started having serious health issues that came to a head two years ago. At that point doctors in Germany as well as here in the UK recommended a course of action that I disagreed with due to its severity of implications for my overall wellbeing. I believe that it is rarely a good thing to take out an organ from our bodies, unless there is a high degree of certainty of that being the only way forward. That is how my journey with natural health started. Once again I wanted to transform the perceived impossible into possible. I started researching what the most effective courses of action for my condition were, and after a year and a half of engaging with everything from yoga, meditation, acupuncture, massage, Ayurvedic treatments, retreats across India and Morocco and extreme adventures, I achieved a balanced state of health.
Along that two year journey I realised that there is so much value in natural health and that there must be an easier way to access it and benefit from it.
The key turning point, however, was the 777 Challenge I participated in this past February to raise money for an educational charity. Running seven certified marathons on seven continents in ten days gave me more than enough time to meditate and reflect on ways in which I can bridge the two worlds of modern science and natural health. That is how iamYiam was born. When I returned from the challenge I felt that my mind was purely focused on finding ways to bring that vision to life sooner rather than later, and so I decided to leave investment management in July and incorporated iamYiam!
GTG: How does IamYiam work?
LP: Simply put, we have been called the Airbnb of Natural Health Experiences, meaning that we bring together quality practitioners of natural health (e.g. meditation, yoga, acupuncture, massage, psychosomatic therapies, retreats & corporate packages) with consumers of natural health (like me) and make it easy to book the best experience tailored exactly to individual needs and goals.
I believe that experiencing natural health should be simpler, so we apply modern science to ancient wisdom to find what works for each of our health objectives. Our goal is to simplify the journey to select an experience and book a practitioner as per individual health aim, for instance sleeping better, reducing anxiety, lowering stress, recovering from injury or just enhancing overall wellbeing. We have built an algorithm based on over 110,000 academic research papers and genetic markers to achieve this.
Our mission is to help you book the best natural health experiences tailored precisely to who you are and the goals you want to achieve. We do this by providing personalised health recommendations supported by scientific research and analysis, to help you select what is best for you.
GTG: You never shy away from extreme challenges…where does your drive and motivation come from?
LP: For me, challenges are an incredible growth and learning experience. With every one that I engaged with, I have understood both something more about myself, about others and about my ecosystem. I believe understanding is the key to more enjoyable life experiences. It is very powerful to find meaning and to have a better understanding of our own abilities by going beyond limiting beliefs such as 'I can't do that', 'nobody in my family has done that' or 'I have severe arrhythmia so I should not be running a marathon … let alone seven', or 'I had asthma so I could never climb a mountain, let alone the tallest one in Africa'. I could go on and on with a list of limiting beliefs that could have stopped me, but they didn't!
GTG: What has been your hardest challenge so far?
LP: From a physical endurance perspective, it was the 777 Challenge of seven marathons on seven continents in ten days, finishing in Antarctica.
I could go on and on about the internal questioning of 'do I have it in me to finish this?' and 'why am I doing this?!'. The answer to the first question has been in over 70% of cases a resounding yes (the 30% of 'nos' just provided extra motivation). The answer to the second is my lifelong mission of understanding how the world works, how I function as a human being and, based on my own learnings, what I can do to help others smooth out their own journey through life.
GTG: How do you balance running marathons with setting up a new business?
LP: I feel the marathon challenge and the business challenge are but two sides of the same coin. Both require a grounded and tenacious mind and a healthy body.
I also find that running helps me gain clarity. Very often I go for a jog or a walk with two or three different issues lingering in my mind without an answer. After a few minutes moving in fresh air, all sorts of ideas spring to mind that prove very effective and simple. Kind of like a mini eureka moment!
GTG: What would be your advice to others taking on an extreme or daunting challenge or change?
LP: The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, and I genuinely mean that. I found that taking one step at a time builds both stamina and also a momentum of motivation. Having a plan that slowly builds up to the effort required for the big challenge has great positive effects both on physical ability and internal motivation and drive. With every little step you achieve, you are more motivated to make it to the next milestone.
GTG: How do you like to relax? What do you do in your down time?
LP: I tend to find relaxation in moments throughout the day, doing one minute meditations while I walk, eat or gaze out of the window and breathe. My weekdays are quite unpredictable, iamYiam being still in its "baby" phase. Therefore Sundays tend to be my "me days". I love to wake up in the morning and while having my matcha green tea imagine how would the world be and how I would feel if for example I achieved all I planned for that year, I helped one person that week and brought a smile to their face or I found a way to make it easy for likeminded people to connect and exchange thoughts.
I also love reading philosophy, both modern and ancient and enjoy private yoga sessions tailored to my health goals. Walking meditations along the sea front and inviting friends over to subject them to my mediocre cooking skills are high points too. Every Sunday tends to be different and I love it that way!
GTG: Could you let us in on the next challenge you're planning?
LP: I am planning a Vipassana silent meditation; ten days of no mobiles, no communication, no speaking, just introspection & meditation. This is definitely the scariest one of all for me!

Is the suspense killing anyone else? I cast my vote early this morning. It was actually my first time to vote in person because I'm a permanent vote-by-mail voter. That always just seemed easier, more peaceful. I could review my ballot slowly, do any additional research online before I made my final decisions, and not worry about what time to arrive at the polling place to avoid lines, but the universe apparently had other plans for me this year. My ballot never made its way to my mailbox, so I woke up bright and early this morning to arrive at my local polling place 30 minutes before it opened, hoping to be first in line, but happy to settle for 9th place.
I cast my votes and took probably a little too much pleasure in using that odd marker-pen thingy that leaves a perfect, little black mark in the bubble of your choosing, and as I was leaving, I felt a rush of emotions from excitement and pride to visceral anxiety. I came home and tried to dig into work, but kept finding myself getting distracted. I had made a pact with myself upon waking this morning to not follow the election coverage today and simply wait until tomorrow to check in on the results. I tend to be deeply impacted by the intensity that seems to be the norm for news media these days, so my plan was to stay focused on work and then maybe go for a hike in the evening to have some time completely unplugged from the digital world, but I just couldn't quite manage to stay on task. I kept sitting down at my computer, only to stare at the screen, rather blankly, and then got hit with a really intense bout of fatigue in the late afternoon. I lied down and ended up falling asleep for a couple of hours and by the time I woke up, it was too late to get a hike in before dark.
As I was making dinner and trying to decide if there was any last hope for me getting at least a little productivity in before bed, I realized that this election has been more emotionally triggering for me than any before. Of course, there are many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that a woman being chosen as a presidential candidate by a major US political party is a history-making moment and one I am very proud to be able to witness. But more than anything, it's the social climate I've seen emerge during the campaigns that has been so deeply concerning. The messaging of the campaigns and the echoes of such sentiments on social media and in conversation have gone so far beyond normal policy politics. The divisiveness, the fever pitch of anxiety and defensiveness on both sides, the deeply personal and hateful nature of so much of the commentary that has been slung back and forth, not just between the candidates, but between neighbors, friends, and family members, has been profoundly painful to watch. As I wind down for the night knowing that I will wake up tomorrow to news that will no doubt impact the future of my country in so many ways regardless of the outcome, all I can think is that I just want the barrage of anger and hatred to stop.
It's no secret that I don't support the ideologies of Trump or that I hope never to see him hold the office of POTUS, but I also have clarity around the truth that bashing him and his supporters does not lead to anywhere positive either. Hurt people, hurt people. Scared people lash out, out of a sense of desperation and powerlessness. And no matter how you slice it, it seems pretty clear that there are wide swaths of people across our nation who have been suffering.
From my perspective, that's something that needs to be addressed, no matter what the outcome is tomorrow. Nothing changes when we ignore the problem. In best cases, it stays exactly the same. In the worst, it festers and expands. These wounds have presented themselves because they need to be cleaned, tended to, and given the conditions for healing to take place.
Let's not let the fear and the anger that has come to the surface during this election season get swept under the rug. Let's look at ourselves as a nation, with honesty and curiosity, and ask what work needs to be done. How can we support each other? How can we help each other heal and in what ways can we cultivate deeper compassion for one another, because the truth is that, at our cores, we are all the same. We are all driven to survive and thrive as best we can. We all seek out connection, in whatever form that takes. We all desire to protect the ones we love.
No matter what happens tomorrow, can we just choose to see set our differences aside for a time and focus on our shared humanity? Can we come together and work collectively to create a future that allows all of us to feel recognized, supported, and safe? Because if we can do that, I truly believe that we can get through this and come out the other side infinitely stronger. And at the end of the day, that's what each of us wants, isn't it?

Suicide attempts among prostituted people are not uncommon.
Many buyers have little regard for the humanity of prostituted people.
BY R. CLIFTON SPARGO, THE VOICES AND FACES PROJECT
PHOTOGRAPHY BY LYNN SAVARESE, NEW ABOLITIONISTS
Every time I speak, it sets me free a little bit more.
To understand the present, you've got to look at the past. I was 6 when my dad molested me for the very first time. I was born and raised in Central Missouri, that's where my abuse took place. I can't really remember much abuse before that, but that definitely happened at age six.
So many prostituted or trafficked people have a story that started the same way.
You want your parents to love you. The last thing I wanted my dad to do was think that I was a bad person. It wasn't hard to convince me to comply with everything he had me do. It wasn't very long at all where another man came to the house and he was allowed to molest me as well.
I get asked a lot, "Why didn't anybody say anything?" Why didn't anybody do anything? Didn't anybody know? You have to understand, this is Midwest African-American — within family turmoil of the most extreme kind. I think if anyone did know, no one wanted to deal with it. No one knew how to deal with it.
I went off and joined the Navy. I created something that resembled safety in my mind. I joined the Navy, did four years. That brought me out here to San Diego. In the following years after that I found myself in the world of prostitution.
Nobody really wants to be out there on the streets. Every time that someone would pick me up, I would always ask them, "Do you know anyone that's hiring? I need a job. I've got some skills." I was networking, I actually was networking. I didn't want to be out there.
You've got to detach your body from your soul just to survive this. To have sex with somebody that you really don't want to have sex with, that takes a lot. You've got to go somewhere else. You don't know what that person is going to do to you and if that person who's picking you up is going to kill you.
Good people make bad choices. Not every customer is evil, looking to enslave every prostitute. Some of the people that pick you up think that they're your lover or your hero or Captain Save-a-Ho. They're actually decent — making a bad choice, but they're not horrible people. You've got to be real about it.
This doesn't happen a lot. But it does happen. One of the guys that picked me up ended up being literally my best friend in the universe. I'm like, "If you want to be anything to me, I desperately need a friend." After that point Dave didn't try anything. He never tried. In times where I had such deep self-loathing, throughout the times where I tried to commit suicide and everything, he never judged, he never preached. He never lectured. He was just always there.
My second suicide attempt should have worked. I never went and found any treatment or any help for my depression. I was heading toward my third attempt when I met my wife. She helped me recognize in myself that I didn't want to die.
I had to get over a lot of personal ego and a lot of personal self-loathing. I had to say, "I deserve to get counseling. I deserve to have somebody care for me when I need it." It took a lot of working with those ideas to get me to that place of consistency where I just kept going back.
Something that's always been a part of my character, thank God almighty, is that I've always had this wish to help people, not hurt people. I'm the founder and director of the H.O.P.E. Project. It stands for the Healing Outreach Peer Empowerment. I am also a proud leader of the Survivor Leader Network of San Diego.
I will tell you this. The freedom and the healing that come from the work that I've been doing for male survivors and in the anti- human trafficking movement is so rewarding, so enriching. I get so much from the interactions and the people that I get to work along with — it's just amazing.
We should make public policies based on rules, not exceptions. Here's the problem with advocating formal rights for those who choose "sex work." The persons advocating for that are a tiny population, really, of the overall population of people that are in prostitution. And they seem to think that people that buy willing sex workers never dip into any of the other pools of sexual exploitation. That is just not reality.
People see only what they want to see. When it comes to the idea of "choice," there's a very strong sense of tunnel vision because those who are choosing this work can't see this other part — the people that sell themselves under duress; the human trafficking. They think that it has absolutely nothing to do with what they're doing, but it does.
Should a person be treated like a product? To remove all penalties for purchasing someone who's enslaving other human beings for any reason, sexual or not, is a dangerous thing to do.
If I can impart one thing to another male survivor out there, it's "Speak up." Take that leap because it's good for you. It's going to be good for other people. That's the main thing — it's going to be good for other people that are trapped in this.
Tom Jones is the founder and director of The H.O.P.E. Project, which works to assist men and boys in their journey of recovery from human trafficking and molestation. He is also engaged in the effort to reduce the demand for prostitution and the sexual exploitation of men, women, and children.
It's not the land of the free if all of us aren't free.

One person was feared dead and several suffered gunshot wounds on Monday in a tram in the central Dutch city of Utrecht and a hunt was underway for the gunman in an incident authorities said appeared to be a terrorist attack.
Police and emergency personnel stand at the 24 Oktoberplace intersection in Utrecht, where a shooting took place Monday.
The mayor of Utrecht, Jan van Zanen, said three people had been killed and nine injured, three of them seriously.
Dutch police said they were looking for a 37-year-old Turkish man in connection with the shooting. Authorities have raised the terror threat level in Utrecht to its highest level and have implemented heightened security measures at airports, train stations and schools.
That may be one reason why Trump joined a coalition of OH lawmakers in efforts to get the Lordstown plant running again. In a statement at the time, GM cited "changing customer preferences in the U.S." when announcing the layoffs.
The shooting left "multiple" people wounded, police said, adding that they are considering the possibility of a "terrorist motive".
Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency, quoting relatives of the gunman, said he had fired at a relative on the tram and had then shot at others who tried to help her.
Anti-terror police and three emergency helicopters rushed to the scene shortly after, but it is not yet known how many people have been taken to hospital. Authorities said the suspect had a "terrorist motive" but was believed to have acted alone.
"Shooting incident. Several injured people reported".
The Dutch counter-terrorism agency NCTV said it could not rule out terrorism as a motive for the attack. The national head of counterterrorism said that crisis team was meeting about the incident.
At the time of the shooting, Utrecht Police wrote on Twitter: "The police is investigating the shooting at the #24oktoberplein in Utrecht this morning".
German police say they have upped surveillance on the country's border with the Netherlands.
He added that the terrorism threat level had been raised to the maximum of five in the province of Utrecht.

HomeAt Massachusetts Summit: Hon. Agho Oliver Goes International, Underlines Need To Preserve Water Catchments
At Massachusetts Summit: Hon. Agho Oliver Goes International, Underlines Need To Preserve Water Catchments
by - the observer on - March 25, 2021
Hon Agho Oliver
Hon. Agho Oliver Bamenju, Member of Parliament, MP, for Mezam North (Bafut/Tubah constituency) has underscored the need for communities to properly preserve their water catchments as a means to fight problems of access to portable drinking water.
The lawmaker was speaking during an international outing via videoconferencing as one of the panelists at the 9th Annual Massachusetts Water Youth Summit organized by the Foundation for a Green Future.
The virtual event March 22, 2021 was part of activities to mark the 2021 edition of World Water Day under the theme Valuing Water. The day according to the United Nations, is not just only to celebrate water but more importantly to raise awareness on significance of fresh water in the lives of humans.
The event was sponsored by Senator Ann Gobi, Senator Jamie and Representative Carolyn Dykema with participants, mainly youth, drawn from the USA, France, India, Cameroon, Kenya, Rwanda, Malaysia and South Africa.
The lawmaker from the North West region in his presentation said the harshness of the dry season still makes access to water a major preoccupation around the globe in general and Cameroon in particular.
The young MP proposed that one of the key means towards improving access to water should be protecting water sources which to him are "sources of life given that water is life".
He disclosed that government provides water schemes to communities annually, yet community beneficiaries hardly take care of the water sources.
Agho added that catchments areas are most often invaded by farmers and rampant grazing activities.
Agho said "Lash and burnt commonly known as Ankara" which are common agricultural activities in the North West Region are partly accountable for climate change and contributes significantly in polluting water sources.
He told the panel that even before becoming a lawmaker, he had already embarked on planting of trees to restore water sources as part of improving access to water within the communities in the region.
He went further stating that "with the ongoing crisis and internally displaced persons in the North West Region, there is the need to improve access to water in the region".
The MP noted that with the current health crisis caused by the "Covid-19" which has "skyrocket the need for water" given that water is used in washing of hands as one of the barrier measures to preventing the spread of the virus.
At the end of his presentation, Hon. Agho expressed gratitude to Dr. Karen Weber, of the Foundation for a Green Future for inviting him to talk to youths worldwide.
He admitted learning new techniques in the course of the presentations of other panelists which he said will be applied back home in fighting the recurrent water crisis.
According to the UN, approximately 2.2 billion people don't have access to safe drinking water.
The UN has predicted that by 2050 approximately 5.7 billion people could be living in areas that will witness water shortage for at least a month every year. The day works towards accomplishing Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

The Villa, Acquired by FAI through the generosity of the Necchi Campiglio Family in 2001, is a jewel that scintillates in the heart of Milan. Built between 1932 and 1935 by Milanese architect Piero Portaluppi, Villa Necchi Campiglio is a sumptuous residence with generously proportioned interiors and stunning public rooms. Thanks also to its perfectly preserved outbuildings, the Villa encapsulates the history, rituals, worldly pleasures and day-to-day living of Milanese high society in the first half of the 20th century.
A key building in Portaluppi's oeuvre, the residence in Via Mozart embodies the entry of modernity into the traditional architecture of the urban Villa, expressing both the innovations of the 20th century and Portaluppi's extravagant, unfettered and highly original creativity. The additions, designed by architect Tomaso Buzzi in the post-war period, contribute to the richness and welcoming ambience of the interiors.
Surrounded by a large garden, including a tennis court and a swimming pool, Villa Necchi Campiglio is a jewel that has remained unchanged over time, and is embellished by two other precious gems: the extraordinary Claudia Gian Ferrari collection of early 20th-century art, featuring works by Sironi, Martini and de Chirico; and the exceptionally refined collection of Alighiero and Emilietta De' Micheli, which concentrates on 18th-century decorative arts and paintings, including works by Canaletto, Rosalba Carriera and Michele Marieschi.
The National Museum of Science and Technology "Leonardo da Vinci" was created on 15th February 1953 and today is the largest museum of science and technology in Italy, one of the most important ones in Europe and in the world.
The Museum is dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci, symbol of the continuity between scientific-technological and artistic culture.
During more than 50 years of history, the Museum has gathered and preserved a remarkable heritage, documenting important stages of the scientific and technological development, with particular reference to our Country.
This heritage comprises the collections (15 thousand technical-scientific objects), the archive (paper and photos) and the library (40 thousand volumes and magazines) which witness the history of science, technology and industry, starting from the 19th century to the present.
Leonardo is one of the greatest examples of the union between humanism and science.
The original nucleus of this museum was an ample collection of models of his machines, which were reconstructed from his drawings. Ever since the Museum was founded in 1953, it has provided a fundamental starting point for exploring the complex relationship between humanity and machines.

When was the last time you allowed your life to flow?
Today's essential oil, Cypress, is all about movement. This evergreen tree reminds us to allow life to flow, and invites us to take a more active approach to moving through and on in our lives.
Aromatically You can inhale Cypress Essential Oil directly from the bottle if you are feeling stuck as this oil has a stimulating effect on the emotions and can give you a boost. You can also diffuse this oil with Lime Essential Oil in your home or offie to create an invigorating scent.
Topically If you are heading out on a run rubbing some Cypress Essential Oil into your feet and legs can support you while you exercise. This oil is also great to use if you experience oily skin. If you suffer from painful periods this is a good oil to massage onto your lower back or abdomen. You can also mix this Cypress Essential Oil with Eucalyptus Essential Oil and massage into skin to reduce cellulite, just follow the massage with a hot compress.
If you are feeling rigid, or like me, perfectionistic, Cypress Essential Oil can support you to feel more flexible and flowing. This oil encourages you to let go of your concerns and get out of your own way. This is a powerful oil that creates an energetic flow, moving what is stagnant within us. Often this stagnation can come from a need to control life rather than allowing things to flow organically. By diffusing or applying this oil topically you can be supported to experience more forward movement in your life.
Please note: You are responsible for your own health and wellbeing therefore before using a product please consult your health practitioner, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor's care. When using essential oils always avoid contact with your eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas. Be mindful of possible skin sensitivity and keep out of reach of children.

Years of economic reform ranged from the political relaxation of foreign direct investments to the promotion of entrepreneurship, China has emerged as one of the world隆炉s top economies. As such, Beijing Olympics 2008 serves as a new chapter milestone that signifies the beginning of China隆炉s third wave of economic growth 篓C Industrial consolidation.
As such, it is a good time to examine how the Chinese cities have developed according to the traditional tiered city system. If you highlight all the first and second tiered cities in China, you will understand how the Chinese government plans to develop China into the world隆炉s largest economy.
In the 1980s, instead of opening up the whole of China, China, as part of an economic risk reduction strategy decided to develop special economic zones and open up cities near the coast for foreign investments. Coastal cities aid imports and exports. In addition, agglomerating the 隆掳test隆卤 cities can develop economies of scale relating to transportation infrastructure. Furthermore, resources from western China were drawn and consolidated to support these strategically positioned coastal cities prominently for Beijing in the north, Shanghai in the midst, and Guangzhou in the south, with Shenzhen acting as a gateway from Hong Kong.
As a result of shorter and improved transportation and communication infrastructure, economic development proliferates to the nearby cities, gradually moving westwards into China. Concurrently, the Chinese government also developed pockets of economic drivers especially in different provincial capitals in order to timely introduce economic growth at different regions. As such, cities begin their economic reform at different stages and thus with time, this became known as the Chinese tiered city system with cities given the connotation as first, second, third or fourth tier cities.
The Chinese tiered city system is characterized by the city economy scale and population size with Shanghai topping the China隆炉s city population chart at 14 million, followed by Beijing and Guangzhou with 12 million and 8 million in 2007 respectively. These large cities, fuelled by own domestic demand and consumption provided the platform for improved living standards, better business and job opportunities and an international showcase to the rest of the world. However, these cities now faced a population ceiling challenge with stiff business competition which may reduce high exponential growth that was seen in the past.
The third wave will see more of the second tier cities in action. With over 20 cities in this category, China is set to develop these cities as the backbone of China隆炉s future economy. It is important to note that China will not remain as a low cost sweat shop and is definitely set to move up the value chain, focusing its efforts on high end industries and at the same time eliminating or pushing low-medium end industries into its lower tiered cities particularly with the third and fourth tier cities.
Already armed with a relatively medium to high disposable incomes and an average GDP per capita of RMB30000, these second tiered cities provide a lucrative option for firms to apply blue ocean strategy on Chinese domestic markets. Due to the Chinese emphasis on 隆掳Mian Zi隆卤 or 隆掳face隆卤 plus the lack of variety for luxury and branded goods in their cities, the rich and affluent from lower tiered cities often make short trips to Beijing and Shanghai for their luxury shopping. Therefore, having your presence in the second tier cities can provide greater proximity and convenience for these target groups.
China in the past 20 years is akin to a baby dragon playing around its nest, testing and trying out new ways of doing things, showing the world her head and wings. Now it is ready to emerge more of her to the world 篓C the backbone akin the second tiered cities.

2.5 mn people have had at least one covid shot + our first batch of homemade CoronaVac will be ready this month
Some 2.5 mn people — 2.4% of Egypt's population — have received at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said at a press conference yesterday. This is a 400k increase from the 2.1 mn figure Cabinet Spokesperson Nader Saad reported last week, and a near-1-mn increase from a 1.6 mn figure announced last week by Ayman Sebae, a health researcher for the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. The government is aiming to vaccinate 40% of the population by the end of the year, Madbouly said, a figure slightly below the one given by Saad earlier this week, who said that half the country's population would have received their shots before the year is out.
For that to happen, people need to start registering: Some 6 mn people have so far registered to get vaccinated since registration was opened to the public in March, Madbouly said yesterday. This amounts to just 6% of the population.
The Health Ministry reported 951 new covid-19 infections yesterday, down from 956 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 264,557 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 42 new deaths, bringing the country's total death toll to 15,178.
We're past the third wave thanks to the precautionary measures the government took during Eid El Fitr period, covid-19 task force member Mohamed Nady told DMC (watch, runtime 13:34). Daily infection rates have fallen by more than 20% from their recent peak while the daily death toll is also starting to slow.
The first batch of homemade shots of China's Sinovac vaccine should be produced by the end of this month, the Health Ministry said in a statement yesterday. The shots will then be shipped to the Egyptian Drug Authority and a Chinese lab team for a final thorough analysis before their rollout into the market.
The announcement comes a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the emergency listing of the Sinovac jab, which Egypt cleared for use in April.
Need a refresher on the differences between the Sinovac and Sinopharm jabs? We've got you covered.
We are also expecting to receive 2k liters of Sinovac's active ingredients this month to manufacture the expected 3 mn doses, after having received the first batch of raw materials in May.
We should be getting Sinovac and Sinopharm doses by mid June: A 1 mn-dose shipment of China's Sinovac vaccine will arrive over two equal batches on 5 and 16 June, with an additional 1 mn doses of Sinopharm slated for delivery on 13 June. Health Minister Hala Zayed said during a cabinet meeting. The minister did not give any further details on when the new 1.9 mn-jab batch of Oxford / AstraZeneca vaccine is expected, though earlier reports had said the first week of June.
Egypt now has 408 state-run vaccination centers across the country now administering the vaccine, up from the 403 facilities announced in late May, the ministry said.


Unlike baking a cake or cookies, when making casseroles measurements to not need to be exact and substitutions are allowed. Casseroles are the type of thing that after you have made it, you get inspirations and will think "Next time I'll add this or that or do something a little differently". If you want to make cabbage rolls but you are not in the mood to make the rolls or you are short on time, lazy cabbage rolls are the answer. You get the same wonderful flavor as with rolled cabbage rolls but you use this shortcut method for preparation. In this version we have added sauerkraut to the lazy cabbage rolls because it seems our family just loves sauerkraut so, why not sneak it into recipes that you know this ingredient will take the dish to the next level in flavor!
1. We used a frozen cabbage so we did not cook the cabbage before shredding for this recipe. Freezing cabbage makes it tender so you can go ahead and use in cabbage rolls without boiling first. The long oven baking times will cook the cabbage more thoroughly.
2. If you are not using frozen cabbage we suggest to shred the cabbage then boil the cabbage for 10-15 minutes in a pot of water until it has softened before assembling into the casserole.
3. We use our own Canned Tomatoes. You can purchase a large can or two small cans of stewed tomatoes or you can use something like Hunts tomato sauce in the recipe. We added tomato paste to the stewed tomatoes to thicken. If you end up using a tomato sauce instead you would not need to add the tomato paste.
4. Buy your tomato paste in the tube format rather than the small cans. Tubes of tomato paste will last a long time refrigerated and you can use just what you need in a recipe more easily.
5. In the photos of this recipe, you see the onions are sliced in rounds rather than diced. While making this recipe a 'little voice in my head' which would of been my mother was saying to dice rather than slice. When it came time to assemble, I realized by dicing the onions, it would of made it nice to stir the cooked onions into the precooked rice so the recipe directions below say to dice rather than slice, even though the pictures show onion rounds.
1. You will need an oven proof baking dish. Choose a size that will hold the quantity being cooked.
2. Cook the rice first. Set aside. We used Basmati rice, you can use any rice you like.
4. Melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the onions and cook until tender. Shut off.
5. Cut the cabbage into small shreds. Keep the pieces really small.
6. Measure 4 cups rice into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and pepper and stir in.
7. Add the cooked onions and shredded cabbage to the rice mixture and stir to combine evenly.
8. Measure 2 cups of stewed tomatoes into a tall measuring cup. Add the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Whiz with a hand immersion blender to smooth.
9. Pour half of the tomato sauce into the bottom of your oven proof dish.
10. Make a layer of the cabbage and rice mixture.
11. Make a layer of sauerkraut using all the sauerkraut.
12. Use the remaining rice mixture for the top layer and pour on the rest of the tomato sauce. Use a wooden spoon to spread the tomato sauce evenly.
13. Cover and place into the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees F. then turn the oven down to 325 degrees F. and bake another 30 minutes. Long baking time will make the cabbage nice and tender.
14. Remove from the oven and you can serve immediately or if you are preparing in advance to cook later, let cool for 30 minutes before you refrigerate. Never leave food longer than 2 hours to cool because bacteria will start to form.
15. To reheat, set the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle a about 1/4 cup water on the top to add moisture, cover and reheat 25-35 minutes. Check to be sure the food has heated throughout before serving. Times will vary with different ovens and elevations. Great on its own or you can serve with sour cream.
