Athar Hussein Rizvi (14 January 1919 – 10 May 2002), known as Kaifi Azmi, was an Urdu Indian poet. Kaifi Azmi is known as the one who introduced Urdu literature to Indian movie images. Together with Pirzada Qasim, Jaun Elia and others Kaifi Azmi took part in several popular twentieth-century Mushaira gatherings.
Kaifi Azmi was born into a Muslim Shia family in Mizwaan village, in Uttar Pradesh district of Azamgarh.
It was Shaukat Azmi who married Azmi. They have a daughter, the actress Shabana Azmi, and a son, the cinematographer Baba Azmi. The actress Tanvi Azmi is Azmi's daughter-in-law.
At the age of eleven, Azmi wrote his first ghazal in Bahraich "Itna To Zindagi Mein Kisi Ki Khalal Pade" and somehow managed to get himself invited to a mushaira and there recited a ghazal, just a few of the ghazal that was much appreciated by the president of the mushaira, Mani Jaisi, but most people including his father thought he was reciting his elder brother's ghazal. When this was denied by his elder brother, his father and clerk Shauq Bahraichi decided to test his poetic talent. They gave him one of a couplet 's lines and asked him to write in the same meter and rhyme a ghazal.
Azmi accepted the challenge and had a ghazal done. This particular ghazal was to become a rage in undivided India and was immortalized as the legendary ghazal singer "Begum Akthar" sang it. During the Quit India agitations in 1942, Azmi abandoned his studies of Persian and Urdu and soon afterwards became a full-time Marxist when in 1943, Kaifi Azmi accepted membership of the Communist Party of India. During this period Kaifi Azmi was noticed by Lucknow 's leading progressive writers.
His leadership qualities have impressed them greatly. They also saw a budding poet in him and extended him to all possible encouragement. As a result, Azmi began to win great acclaim as a poet and became a member of the Indian 'Progressive Writers' Movement. He started work in the textile mill areas of Kanpur at the age of twenty-four. Kaifi Azmi left his life of comfort as a full-time worker though Kaifi Azmi was the son of a zamindar. Kaifi Azmi was asked to move his base to Bombay, work among the workers, and begin party work with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm.
Like most Urdu poets, Azmi started out as a ghazal writer, cramming his poetry with the repetitive themes of love and romance in a style full of clichés and metaphors. Yet his association with the Movement of Progressive Writers and the Communist Party made him embark on the path of socially conscious poetry.
In his verse, he emphasises the oppression of the subaltern masses and through them, by undermining the current one, Kaifi Azmi conveys a message of establishing just social order. And one can't call his poetry pure propaganda. It has its own merits; in particular, the intensity of emotions and the spirit of sympathy and compassion for the disadvantaged sections of society are the hallmarks of his poetry.
His poems are also noteworthy for their rich imagery and his contribution to Urdu poetry can hardly be overestimated in this respect. The first collection of poems by Azmi, Jhankar, was released in 1943. Kaifi Azmi main works, including poetry anthologies, were Aakhir-e-Shab, Sarmaya, Awaara Sajde, Kaifiyaat, Nai Gulistan, an anthology of articles Kaifi Azmi wrote for Urdu Blitz, Meri Awaaz Suno, a collection of his movie lyrics, and Heer Ranjha's script.
His most famous poems are Aurat, Makaan, Daaera and Snap.
Azmi's film work encompasses working as a lyricist, writer and actor. Azmi wrote his first lyrics for the 1951 release of film Buzdil, directed by Shaheed Latif and music by SD Burman. His early work as a writer was mainly for films such as Yahudi Ki Beti (1956), Parvin (1957), Miss Punjab Mail (1958) and I d Ka Chand (1958), by Nanubhai Vakil. Though directors such as Khwaja Ahmad Abbas and Bimal Roy tried to create the "Modern Cinema," writers such as Sahir Ludhianvi, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and Kaifi Azmi changed the Hindi film song's tenor and vocabulary, creating a new wave in Hindi film lyrics that lasted for many years. His greatest achievement as a writer was Chetan Anand's Heer Raanjha (1970), in which the film's entire dialogue was in verse. It was a remarkable accomplishment and one of Hindi film writing 's greatest exploits.
Azmi also won big critical accolades for M.S 'script, dialogues, and lyrics. Garam Hawa (1973) from Sathyu based on a storey by Ismat Chughtai. Azmi has also written the dialogues for Manthan of Shyam Benegal (1976) and Kanneshwara Rama of Sathyu (1977). As a lyricist and songwriter, though Kaifi Azmi has written for numerous films, Kaifi Azmi will always be remembered for Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959) by Guru Dutt and Haqeeqat (1964) by Chetan Anand, India's greatest war movie. Cohra (1964), Anupama (1966), Uski Kahani (1966), Saat Hindustani (1969), Shola Aur Shabnam, Parwana (1971), Bawarchi (1972), Pakeezah (1972), Hanste Zakhm (1973), Arth (1982) and Razia Sultan (1983) are some notable films for which Kaifi Azmi wrote lyrics. Kaifi Azmi wrote the song "Meri Aawaz Suno Pyar ka Raaz Suno" chanted by Mohammad Rafi for Naunihal (1967).
The song is pictured over Indian Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru's funeral procession. Years later, after his daughter Azmi's own death, Shabana Azmi reported finding comfort in verses from the song. In Naseem (1995) Kaifi Azmi also played a memorable role as Naseem 's grandfather. A collection of his works includes his autobiography, Aaj Ke Prashid Shayar: Kaifi Azmi.
IN MEDIA:
Azmi was the subject of a documentary film, directed by Raman Kumar, named Diksha (2015). Kaifi Azmi recited his own poems for Kaifiyaat, an audiobook about his collected works, in 1997.
Kaifi Aur Mein, a play based on his life, his works and his wife's memory Shaukat Azmi – Yadon Ki Rahguzar was written and performed by Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, and performed both in India and abroad in 2006. Another play, directed by Rani Balbir, Waqt Ne Kiya Hasin Sitam based on Kaifi Azmi 's life and writings, was performed in 2005 and received rave reviews.
Kaifi Azmi has been the recipient of Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian award in India. In addition, Kaifi Azmi has received the Uttar Pradesh Urdu Academy Award and the Sahitya Akademi Award for Urdu for his Awaara Sajde collection, the Maharashtra Urdu Academy Special Award, the Soviet Land Nehru Award, the Afro-Asian Writers' Association Lotus Award, and the National Integration President's Award. In 1998, Maharashtra 's government handed him the Jyaneshwara Medal. Kaifi Azmi was also honoured for his lifetime achievement with the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Fellowship.
In 2000, the Government of Delhi and Delhi Urdu Academy awarded him the first Millennium Award. Kaifi Azmi was also awarded a doctorate from the University of Vishva Bharati, Santiniketan.
The government also inaugurated a train called "Kaifiyat Express," which runs from Azamgarh to Old Delhi, his hometown.
Google's search engine on 14 January 2020 commemorated Kaifi Azmi with a Doodle on his 101st birthday. Google commented: "With work ranging from passionate love poems and activist verses to Bollywood song lyrics and screenplays, Azmi has become one of India's most renowned poets of the 20th century, and his humanitarian efforts continue to have an impact on the lives of people today."

Explaining the Rise of Diaspora Institutions
Duration: 0:48:10 | Added: 11 Jun 2014
Alan Gamlen talks about how formal offices of state dedicated to emigrants and their descendants have been largely overlooked in mainstream political studies.
At this event, co-sponsored by the Centre for International Studies (CIS), the International Migration Institute (IMI) and COMPAS, Dr Gamlen asks the question 'Why do states establish and maintain diaspora engagement institutions?' Alan Gamlen (DPhil. Oxon) is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand and a Research Associate at Oxford University. He leads the Diasporas Engagement Policies project, part of the five-year Oxford Diasporas Programme funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and is Editor-in-Chief of Migration Studies, an academic journal published by Oxford University Press.

Prince Harry's 'Truth' in Memoir 'Spare' Mocked, Popularity Tanks
Publishers are reporting that Prince Harry's memoir "Spare" is the fastest selling non-fiction book in history—but was sharing his "truth" worth the mockery its inspired? Instead of getting the public to empathize broadly with him, Harry has seen his popularity crater, his memory called into question and his pain turned into a punchline on late night television.
So, Harry, was the cool $20 million you received worth it?
It's likely that Harry, and more specifically Meghan Markle, would say, "yes." Their entire post-royal careers have been predicated on the couple making as much money as humanly possible as fast as humanly possible in order to sustain their obscenely expensive lifestyles. Having a massive bestseller, is probably seen as a step in the right direction.
But cold hard cash is little comfort when your reputation is in such tatters that your pain is now fodder for late night comics.
Recently, Jimmy Kimmel "revealed" a new children's book based on "Spare," called "The Prince and the Penis," chronicling Harry's Freudian story about his frostbitten penis and his mother's Elizabeth Arden cream.
Reading the book to the crowd, Kimmel said, "Oh mummy, oh mummy! He cried with a scream, and from then on up high, she appeared with some cream. My poor little prince, put this cream on your willy. It will lessen the ache and make it less chilly."
It's doubtful that Harry, and especially Prince William, appreciated the memory of their mother Princess Diana being the focus of mockery on American television, but Harry only has himself to blame.
No one needed to know about his frostbitten penis or how it reminded him of his dead mother—but Harry wanted his "truth" out there. This is the predictable result.
Reporters and critics have also found some rather obvious and glaring inconsistencies and factual errors in his memoir.
For example, the prince was wrong about where he was when the Queen Mother died and the last gift given to him by his mother, Princess Diana. Harry was also incorrect when it comes to a flight that he and Meghan allegedly booked for Thomas Markle before their wedding.
In the book, Harry writes, "We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain now.
"Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg."
But there's not one but two glaring problems. Not only does Air New Zealand not have a route going between Mexico and London, but they don't have first class, just Business Premier fares.
Air New Zealand was able to make an epic burn out of Harry's iffy recollection on Twitter, stating, "Introducing #SussexClass (crown emoji) Apparently coming soon."
These obvious inconsistencies raise serious questions about Harry's perception of "the truth," as he has claimed in other interviews that his memoir is the definitive and true version of events.
It also makes his publisher look incompetent for not fact-checking some rather basic things, as Harry getting a PlayStation from his mother has been broadly reported and known for years.
And perhaps the most damaging is the hit Harry's popularity has taken in the latest YouGov poll.
The Duke of Sussex, who at one point was more popular than the Queen, has a popularity rating of a paltry 24%. His disapproval rating is at a staggering 68%. When asked why Harry chose to write "Spare," 41% of respondents agreed that it was solely "to make money."
Harry stated that he wanted to write "Spare" in order to get his side of the story out there and correct the negative narrative that he believes has unfairly surrounded him and wife Meghan Markle.
If that was his intended purpose, by any stretch of the imagination, he's failed miserably in that endeavor.
The money might be good, but when it comes at the cost of your public reputation, was it worth it?
In five to ten years from now, Prince Harry may conclude that writing "Spare" was the biggest mistake of his life. He followed Meghan's d-list actress plan that the more publicity you can generate, the better the returns. As if the more columns or mentions you get can somehow make up for a seeming lack of talent.
But people want to root for the heroes, not a seemingly wimpy man with a (somewhat understandable) mother complex who happily and ignorantly tells the world that he thought of her while tending his frostbitten penis.
Instead of being received as a man who overcame the great burden of being born the spare, as he clearly wanted, he's the focus of mockery and contempt.
So again, I ask, Harry, was this worth it?

Each of Cheryl (Cole)'s last two solo albums have topped the charts in their first week on sale with consummate ease, yet neither had the handicap of being released alongside music from Justin Bieber.
In a back and forth struggle which lasted all week, the two albums from the two pop stars arrive at Numbers 1 and 2 on the UK album chart and in the end there were just 3000 copies in it. Spoils however go to the bowl-cut Canadian star as Bieber's second album proper Believe gives him his first ever Number One. His debut My World charted at Number 4 first week out in January 2010, falling back dramatically before rallying to reach a new peak of Number 3 later that spring. Since then he's also charted with Never Say Never - The Remixes which made Number 17 and festive offering Under The Mistletoe which hit Number 13 last December. His tactic of drip-feeding single tracks to download ahead of the album's release means he has a number of different tracks on the singles chart, although oddly enough the biggest seller is the one that has been available for the longest - first single proper Boyfriend leaping back to Number 31.
Cheryl thus finds herself a runner up on both charts, with long player A Million Lights tucking in to Number 2 and last week's chart-topper Call My Name also surrendering its crown after a week, despite the massive lead it had over the competition. Inevitably she is replaced at Number One by the original version of last week's controversial cover version as Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa storm to the top with the real version of Payphone. It is another Number One with another massive six figure sale as well as the single shifts an impressive 141,000 copies. That's the third week in a row that the chart-topping single has sold into six figures and the tenth time this year.
Payphone is Maroon 5's first ever Number One single in this country although it will have to go some to become their biggest seller ever, given that it is after all the follow-up to Moves Like Jagger which was the second biggest hit of 2011 and a million seller to boot, despite never managing to move beyond Number 2. Last week we wondered why their label weren't panicked into a midweek early release for the track in the face of the Precision Tunes cover version. On this evidence, holding their nerve paid off in spades.
For the second time in their career it is a case of so far yet so far for Stooshe who follow up Number 5 hit Love Me with a Number 4 entry for their second chart single Black Heart. Once again the girl group have put out an enormously appealing pop single, this one with a pleasing hint of Motown in the melody and once again have landed themselves a good sized hit, but somehow not quite the smash which you feel they deserve. Still, there is time yet - their debut album is not scheduled until September leaving room for one more hit single before it hits the shops.
It seems an unlikely choice of slow burner, but Paloma Faith's relentless round of promotional activity over the last few weeks is paying off in terms of consistent sales for her current single Picking Up The Pieces. After debuting at Number 7 at the start of June, the single had slipped to Number 19 a fortnight ago before starting an unlikely comeback. This week it rises four places to reclaim a Top 10 placing at Number 10. The single was already her biggest UK hit to date and has now spent longer in the upper reaches of the chart than any of her previous releases.
Unlucky not to reach the Top 10 this week was Katy Perry's Wide Awake which instead motors 31-12 in a strong statement of intent. The second single to be lifted from the special edition re-release of her Teenage Dream album, if it manages at least a two place climb this week it will end up being the seventh Top 10 hit to be taken from all versions of the long player, an almost unprecedented total.

Structurally related to Thiamine (vitamin B1), but with binding potential at the GABAa site, which causes it to produce effects most like those of a barbiturate: an effective sedative and hypnotic.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday accused Congress of disrespecting Hindus for the use of 'Hindu terror' remarks in reference to the Mecca Masjid blast. Launching a sharp attack on the Congress after a court acquitted all accused of 2007 Mecca Masjid blast case, BJP said that opposition party's "appeasement politics" of "defaming" Hindus has been exposed. Addressing media after the verdict, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said Congress has long "defamed" Hindus for votes. He further demanded that president Rahul Gandhi and his predecessor Sonia Gandhi apologise for terms such as "saffron terror" and "Hindu terror".
A special anti-terror court in Hyderabad acquitted Aseemanand and four others in the case, ruling that the prosecution failed to prove charges against them. Linking the verdict to elections, the BJP spokesperson said that people will teach the Congress "a lesson" in the Karnataka Assembly polls. Patra also slammed Congress leaders for blaming the BJP government for the acquittal of the accused. He said that that the opposition party has "double standards" as it had welcomed a court order in favour of accused in the 2G scam case.
The BJP spokesperson pointed out that Congress was in power for seven years after the blasts and asked what it had done during the period. "For its appeasement politics, the Congress targeted and defamed Hindus and the country for merely some votes. That conspiracy has been exposed. The Congress has been exposed like never before," he said.
Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Patra asked if the Congress chief would lead a candle march to India Gate in midnight and apologise for "defaming" Hindu community.
The BJP further said that former home ministers P Chidambaram, Shivraj Patil and Sushil Kumar Shinde also spoken about "saffron terror" and "Hindu terror". Once again raking up Karnataka elections, Patra said that Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was also practicing appeasement politics, a euphemism used by the BJP for alleged pro-Muslim politics of some parties.
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot refrained from commenting on the issue. "It is now up to the Govt to examine order and decide if a further appeal is required. As it is a judicial matter I would not like to comment on it," Gehlot said.
A massive blast had taken place at Mecca Masjid on May 18, 2007, during Friday prayers, killing nine people and wounding 58 others.

The effort to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral could get help from an unlikely source: A video game
A fire ravaged the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday.
The cathedral was a centerpiece of the 2014 video game "Assassin's Creed Unity."
To re-create the cathedral virtually, a level artist at the game's studio spent years cataloging its structure "to make sure that each brick was as it should be."
While the effort to rebuild the iconic cathedral could benefit from the game designers' work, it's unclear whether their work will be referenced.

A fire on Monday devastated the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The structure, including its two main towers, remains intact, but its spire collapsed before firefighters could contain the blaze.
French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to rebuild the famous cathedral, tweeting in French: "We will rebuild it. All together."
One potential source of help in those efforts is the 2014 video game "Assassin's Creed Unity," which is set in Paris.
Notre-Dame Cathedral in the 2014 video game "Assassin's Creed Unity."
As detailed in a 2014 feature published in The Verge, Caroline Miousse, a Ubisoft level artist, spent two years poring over details of the cathedral to create as accurate a depiction as possible in the game.
"I made some other stuff in the game, but 80% of my time was spent on the Notre-Dame," she said at the time.
That's because the cathedral is a centerpiece in "Unity" that players can explore inside and out. The "Assassin's Creed" series is known for its lovingly detailed re-creations of historic places, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral in "Unity" is no exception.
The Verge's Andrew Webster wrote of Miousse's work on the cathedral: "She pored over photos to get the architecture just right, and worked with texture artists to make sure that each brick was as it should be."
Whether Ubisoft will offer its digital information to the French government remains to be seen — representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Secret Place by Tana French
reviewed by Cynthia Long
Tana French is back with her fifth book in the "Dublin Murder Squad" series, The Secret Place. Gripping, insightful, and full of delightful teen and Irish slang, this is a strong addition to French's series--it also stands alone.
This time, teen Holly Mackey finds a clue on a year-old murder at her private girls' boarding school in Dublin. One year earlier a handsome and popular student at the neighboring boys' school was found dead, overnight, at the girls' school. The case had languished until Holly brings Detective Moran a note from the anonymous secrets bulletin board, the titular Secret Place, which claims that somebody knows who-done-it. Detective Moran teams up with the previous detective on the case, the maligned no-nonsense Antoinette Conway who is fighting sexism and the sting of being unable to solve her first murder.
The book is well-plotted, very suspenseful, and has a dash of the supernatural. As with the other Murder Squad books, department politics forms a strong subplot as Moran's and Conway's careers are on the line as they search for a solve.

Theater Reviews|Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is
Theater Review | 'The Last Cargo Cult'
Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is
The Last Cargo Cult
NYT Critic's Pick
Off Broadway, Solo Performance
Public Theater - Newman Theater, 425 Lafayette St.
Before I settle into my seat at "The Last Cargo Cult," a stem-winding solo meditation on the meaning of money from the prolific storyteller Mike Daisey, the usher slaps a dollar bill in my hand. I'm shocked. If you're going to bribe a theater critic, a measly buck is an insult.
I then notice that I am not the only one getting paid off; $10 and $20 bills are being handed out like fliers at a fringe festival. What is going on here? Mr. Daisey lets that question hang there for most of this show at the Public Theater.
When he arrives onstage, sitting as he always does behind a glass of water and a desk, he dives into a story about a plane ride to the Pacific island Tanna, which he describes as a land "beyond the reach of money." With an effortlessness that comes from years of spinning tales, he imbues this uneventful trip with the punch of the first explosion of an action movie.
As Mr. Daisey explains, the United States set up military bases on this island during World War II and when the soldiers left, a religious movement — known as a cargo cult — formed to celebrate their visitors. Every year the tribal community mounts a song-and-dance show about the history of America. Mr. Daisey is there to see one of those shows. He frames the account of his visit with a second story: the recent financial crisis, paralleling the islanders' belief in the United States with our faith in money.

The way Mr. Daisey makes his arguments, more than the arguments themselves, is what makes him one of the elite performers in the American theater. Sometimes he lays them out straightforwardly, but more often he expresses ideas indirectly through story and, increasingly, through a self-conscious use of language. He repeats words (pay attention to "island" and "detached"), making them signposts to guide audiences toward his conclusion. He illustrates the relationship between money and trust this way: "I don't buy that. That's what we say in our culture when we don't believe something."
In his new show, the seventh that I've seen, Mr. Daisey's longtime director, Jean-Michele Gregory, helped him expand beyond a Spalding Gray aesthetic. For the first time there is an actual set dominated by a mountain of boxes, designed by Peter Ksander. Mr. Daisey still sits down and turns rumpled papers, but he has added more flamboyance to his repertory. He curses more, punctuates several jokes with a Sam Kinison scream; and he really has perfected the art of juxtaposing rubbery facial expressions with absolute stillness.
Lately Mr. Daisey has become known as a polemicist. And when connecting disparate narratives to make sweeping claims about the way power works, his manner can resemble that other gifted star of the monologue, Glenn Beck. This tactic has always been in tension with a more wandering style, committed to spontaneity, real-time thinking (he famously does not use a script) and complexity. My favorite moments are not when two story lines lead to an epiphany, but when they, like characters in a play, argue with each other, making answers seem more remote.
At its core "Cargo Cult" is about how the increasingly abstract financial instruments of our day have not only made people blind to questions of risk but also to the value of money, which, Mr. Daisey argues, is much more relative than we think. Reaching for poetic flourishes, he indulges in hyperbole, calling the financial system a giant Ponzi scheme and employing the term "financial terrorism." At the same time he is willing to complicate his argument. While he begins by imagining Tanna as beyond the world of business, he learns that the island is not so foreign after all.
At the end of "Cargo Cult" Mr. Daisey puts a bowl on a table and tells audience members that the bills they received at the beginning of the show were from his own bank account and that if they choose to, they can give them back. It's a provocative experiment designed to make concrete something that is often unspoken. Building on his bomb-throwing critique of regional theater, "How Theater Failed America," Mr. Daisey reminds us that acting is work rooted in a business relationship.
To hit the point home, Mr. Daisey tells us that we don't just pay for tickets to see a show. We are also paying so that he can afford rent. "You are nothing to me," he says, scowling. "You sit there in the darkness, strangers to me. You listen, and you laugh. You are a job. And you will be replaced." Money binds us to him. And the fact that its value shifts arbitrarily seems more natural than ever. After all, that dollar has been sitting in my pocket for two hours, and when I put it in the bowl it feels, for a fleeting moment, like I am actually giving up something.


The sick man had hope. Otherwise, he would not let his friends bring him to Christ in such a strange and dangerous way, being hoisted up the stairs then let down at the risk of the cords snapping, or the bed giving away. Jesus saw the man's body, shrunken from inaction, sin has a way of stiffening us up. He knew the remorse, guilt, shame and condemnation gnawing at this man's heart. But before He deals with the sickness, He meets the sufferer's most deeply felt need first. Jesus speaks to the man "your sin is forgiven." Jesus' response goes to the heart of the matter, the conscience, the part of us which knows things aren't right between us and God. In scripture, faith and conscience are intricately connected. We are to "hold onto faith and a clear conscience." (1 Timothy 1:19) When sin defiles the conscience, faith collapses. What's found in the ministry of Jesus is that forgiveness brings healing to the heart, the memories, the soul and body. A clear conscience leads to confident living. What Mark intends for disciples to see in these verses is a picture of normal Christianity. Normal Christians are confident, calm and secure because they know they are clean, forgiven, free of the debt of sin. They live without condemnation, are full of forgiveness and have a clear conscience. It's time to rise, roll up your pallet of the past and live in the direction of where Jesus is going.
Based on today's reading of scripture, are you living a normal Christian life?


...First off, True Confessions Day.
May I suggest if you do happen to have a burning secret that is eating you up, perhaps be super careful to whom you confess it. People have a terrible tendency to gossip, so you may be safest to visit your local Catholic Priest.
Second, we have Buzzards Day.
I'll be honest, I am not a fan of birds, or rather any bird bigger than a sparrow, so this is not my idea of a celebration, but each to their own.
Just to remind you, in case you weren't already aware, that yep, there are still backstabbers and they are still out there doing their thing (hence the need to exercise care should you choose to celebrate True Confessions Day).
And lastly, we have World Consumer Rights Day.
So there you have it, Wednesday's celebrations. Whichever you choose, have a fabulous day.


We have also recently reformed our curriculum to the USSF's U.S. Soccer Curriculum. This age-appropriate instructional framework helps to guide over-all player development in technical skill, tactical knowledge, physical ability, and social & psychological awareness. With this approach we can provide age-appropriate clinics and classes that directly meet the needs and of local clubs and youth soccer associations. Our classes and clinics are timely too, because we try to schedule them to accommodate the schedules and tryouts of most local youth soccer associations. That's why the Skills Institute is a great fit for a wide variety of players, including first-time players, Lil' Kickers graduates who are looking to join local youth soccer teams, and club players looking for a leg up in progressing to higher levels of competition.

A Dirty Diaper Full of Data
Smart diapers are embedded with interactive labels that detect moisture, bacteria and sugar. But critics worry the invention could lead to false alarms.
By Courtney Subramanian July 16, 2013
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HvqfUbaoE2M]
It's easy to find data in anything, including human waste receptacles. In an effort to help sleep-deprived parents monitor their baby's health, a New York-based startup is developing a new type of technology embedded directly in disposable diapers.
Pixie Scientific, the company behind the smart diaper, spent a year developing the smart diaper, which uses a QR code (or label) to track and determine the health of an infant through urine analysis. The label is comprised of colorful squares, which deepen in color depending on their interaction with protein, water or bacteria in the diaper.
(MORE: The Connection Between Dirty Diapers and Childhood Health)
After scanning a used diaper embedded with the labels using a smartphone, an app uses algorithms to analyze the results for abnormalities like an impending urinary tract infection, dehydration, kidney function and even type 1 diabetes. With parents' permission, the information can even be sent to a physician who can then diagnose the child with any serious problems. But as the New York Times points out, the technology lies within the camera phone as much as it does with the interactive diaper.
Jennie Rubinshteyn and Yaroslav Faybishenko, the couple behind the idea, have partnered Benioff Children's Hospital at the University of California, San Francisco, where the diaper will be tested this September. Due to the urine strip component, the diaper must undergo Food and Drug Administration trials in order to get approval as well. The couple is has raised more than $10,000 to help fund the project on Indiegogo and is seeking up to $25,000. (Backers who contribute $25 or more get to test the diapers starting this fall.)
While the diaper is a great idea in theory, creating an early warning system for parents who otherwise might be befuddled by their baby's fussiness, it's possible that the technology could actually cause more stressed for an already worn-out mother or father. As the BBC points out, the urinary analysis could produce "false positives," resulting in too many trips to the doctor and possibly misdiagnosis.

This article provides an update to the author's The Libraries of King Henry VIII published in the Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues (2000). The most substantial list in that volume (H2) consisted of an inventory in two alphabetical sequences of 910 books contained in the Upper Library at Westminster Palace in 1542. Each book had an number corresponding to its place in the inventory entered in it. Over the next five or six years further books were added, especially after Henry VIII's death, and these too were arranged alphabetically with matching numbers inserted in the books themselves. Since 2000 fifteen more Westminster books have been found in a variety of locations, some unexpected. An annotated list of these is provided as well as an introduction explaining the significance of the discoveries and the means by which they found their way to their present locations.

Memorial Day In Iraq: Bombs, Death
By Joel Roberts
June 1, 2004 / 6:55 AM / CBS/AP
A car bomb exploded Monday near coalition headquarters, killing four people and wounding 25 in violence that U.S. authorities believe was aimed at blocking the coming transfer of power. Four American soldiers were reported killed in other attacks.
Monday's blast took place in Baghdad's Harithiyah district, about a half-mile from where the head of the Iraqi Governing Council, Izzadine Saleem, was assassinated in a May 17 car bombing. U.S. soldiers pushed back screaming crowds as ambulances raced to tend to the wounded.
U.S. officers said no prominent political figures were in the area at the time and they were uncertain of the target. It also was unclear whether it was a suicide attack.
However, the dead did include Sabiha Aref, 72, the sister of former Iraqi presidents Abdel-Salam Aref and Abdel-Rahman Aref, who served as head of state in succession between 1963 and 1968. She was killed by flying glass while cooking lunch at home, a relative said on condition he not be named.
In other developments:
Four American soldiers died over the weekend in separate attacks, including two killed during fighting in the Shiite holy city of Kufa.
A five-day Shiite-negotiated truce between the Americans and radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia appeared to be unraveling. Hoping to save the cease-fire, Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi and other Shiite leaders met with al-Sadr representatives and declared there was "a momentum for peace."
A dispute between Iraq's Governing Council and U.S. occupation authorities over the selection of a new Iraqi president threatened to delay the appointment of a new government to take power June 30, Iraqi officials said.
Attackers in Samarra, 75 miles northeast of the capital, Baghdad, hurled three mortar shells into a market, killing three and injuring four, said Rashid Abdullah, a hospital official.
American troops in Iraq died in May at a rate of more than two per day, pushing the combined death count for April and May beyond 200, according to Pentagon figures.
Despite war and occupation, Iraq has seen a surge in human rights organizations, political parties and independent newspapers — entities almost unheard of under Saddam Hussein, said a report by an Arab think tank.
The White House confirmed Sunday that President Bush has mounted a trophy of the Iraq war in a study next to the Oval Office: Saddam Hussein's pistol. Saddam had the gun when he was captured, and U.S. soldiers who found him presented it to Mr. Bush, CBS News Senior White House Correspondent John Roberts reports.
Four American soldiers died over the weekend in separate attacks, including two killed during fighting in the Shiite holy city of Kufa, where a five-day Shiite-negotiated truce between the Americans and radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia appeared to be unraveling.
Hoping to save the cease-fire, Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi and other Shiite leaders met with al-Sadr representatives and declared there was "a momentum for peace."
Shiite leaders said Americans should end their "aggressive patrolling" and stay away from holy sites in Najaf and Kufa, Najaf Gov. Adnan al-Zurufi said.
In exchange, those militiamen not from Najaf and Kufa would go home while others would keep off the streets.
"The preliminary agreement is already there," al-Zurufi said. "We're waiting for an official response from the high command."
While the Americans consider the proposal, al-Sadr's fighters will reduce their visibility in Najaf and Kufa for the next 48 hours, said Ali al-Jhoriafi, an official close to the talks.
The Shiite leaders also hope the Americans will cut back on patrols during the same period.
Coalition spokesman Dan Senor characterized the talks as a step forward even if no deal is reached.
Shiite politicians are trying to end the 2-month-old standoff in the cities 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad and restore government control there.
Troubles emerged in the cities after occupation authorities cracked down on al-Sadr's militia in April, closing his newspaper and announcing an arrest warrant against him for the killing of a rival cleric. Al-Sadr's supporters took to the streets, vowing to protect him.
Under a deal announced Thursday with Shiite leaders, al-Sadr agreed to send his fighters home and negotiate the future of his militia and the arrest warrant with other religious leaders. U.S. troops agreed to halt offensive operations around Najaf and Kufa.
However, the Americans say there has been little sign that al-Sadr has complied with the agreement, and the continuing clashes have intensified in the following days.
Militiamen accused American troops of provoking the latest clash, which began Sunday night and persisted until early Monday. Al-Sadr's followers said the Americans fired near the city's main mosque.
But Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, coalition deputy operations chief, denied that "offensive operations" were under way and said the Americans fired in self-defense.
At least one Iraqi was killed and eight were wounded, hospital officials said. It was unclear whether they were civilians because al-Sadr's militiamen often do not take casualties to government hospitals for fear of arrest.
Meanwhile, two other U.S. soldiers died in separate incidents over the weekend. A Task Force 1st Armored Division soldier died Sunday and two others were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded south of Baghdad, the military reported.
A Stryker Brigade soldier also died from wounds following a mortar attack Saturday in the northern city of Mosul.
The military also honored its war dead in Memorial Day ceremonies across Iraq.
"When we return to our home stations, we must ensure that we never forget those fallen comrades that deployed with us that will not return to their loved ones," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the senior U.S. military officer here, said at Baghdad's Camp Victory. "We must not walk away from this mission."
More than 800 American service members have died since U.S. President George W. Bush launched the Iraq war in March 2003. Most of those deaths occurred after Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1, 2003.

MADRID - Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez took over as Spain's prime minister on Friday, after parliament toppled his predecessor Mariano Rajoy in a no-confidence vote triggered by a corruption scandal involving members of his center-right party.
Lawmakers stood and cheered as Sanchez - who had earlier promised to try to steer the country through to mid-2020 when the parliamentary term ends - became the country's seventh head of government since its return to democracy in the late 1970s.
But Rajoy's departure after six years in office casts one of the euro zone's top four economies into an uncertain political landscape, just as another - Italy - pulled back from early elections.
Sanchez won Friday's no-confidence motion by 180 votes to 169, with one abstention.
The 46-year-old's Socialist party holds just 84 seats in the 350-member assembly, making it unclear how long his administration can last.
But his strong pro-European credentials, and the fact that Rajoy also ran a minority government, suggest fallout from any political ructions in one of the euro zone's fast-growing economies is likely to be limited.
Spain's stock market rose after the parliamentary vote, to trade nearly 2 percent higher on Thursday's close, while the country's borrowing costs fell.
With most other Spanish parties also pro-European in outlook, Sanchez has already committed to respecting a fiscally conservative budget passed by Rajoy.
The fragmented parliament means he will also find it hard to row back on structural reforms passed by his predecessor, including new labor laws and cuts in healthcare and education.
Leftist party Podemos has promised to support Sanchez in parliament, though it seems unlikely to gain major influence over Sanchez, who is keen to win back centrist voters.
After the vote result was announced, members of Podemos smiled and hugged each other before bursting into a chant of "Yes, we can" - the slogan of their party, a product of the widespread anger at spending cuts imposed by Rajoy's first government at the height of the euro zone crisis.
The 63-year-old stalwart of the center-right People's Party (PP) took over the government in 2011 in the middle of a deep recession and presided over a dramatic economic recovery.
However, his position had become increasingly untenable, undermined by scandals encircling his party as well as a divisive independence drive in the wealthy region of Catalonia, which led Madrid to impose direct rule on the region last autumn.
The no-confidence motion was brought by Sanchez after a judge sentenced dozens of people linked to the PP to decades in jail in a long-running corruption trial.
On Friday, Catalan authorities announced their new cabinet, excluding four nominees under investigation for their part in its independence drive to pave the way for Madrid to end its direct rule.
German prosecutors made a court application for the extradition to Spain of the leader of the independence movement, former regional president Carles Puigdemont, on charges linked to his role in the campaign, they said on Friday in Berlin.

DNA-programmed blotting paper could soon be giving doctors a simple disease test that will reveal an infection in 30 minutes for just a few pence.
Researchers have proved the technique works by developing a prototype Ebola test in just 12 hours, and using just $20 of materials.
The smart diagnostics use a soup of biological ingredients including the genetic material RNA.
The researchers say this can be freeze-dried and preserved on ordinary paper.
Team leader Jim Collins, who has joint appointments at Boston and Harvard Universities, says the biological powder can be reactivated by simply adding water, like living powdered soup.
"We were surprised at how well these materials worked after being freeze dried," he told the BBC.
Jim Collins is a leading pioneer in the field of synthetic biology, whose 2000 paper showing genetic circuits could be created in the same way as electronic circuits can be programmed, helped launch the discipline.
Since then, synthetic biology has become a powerful tool in fundamental biology, with researchers hacking the genetic programmes of microbes to study their life processes, or give them the power to compute using logic like a digital processor.
Collins' group has previously reprogrammed bacteria to become cellular spies, recording events as they pass through an animal's bowels.
But the discipline has required specialist skills, so that few laboratories can take advantage of the techniques. The researchers' avowed intention inthe new work, described in the journal Cell, is to make synthetic biology widely available.
They've definitely succeeded, says Professor Lingchong You, an expert in cellular reprogramming at Duke University.
The materials in the powdered biochemical soup include simple enzymes that bacteria need, molecules to power the chemical reactions, amino acids which are the bricks of cell biology, and importantly ribosomes, giant molecular machines that read genetic material and use it to assemble the bricks into functioning proteins.
In liquid form, these cell extracts are routinely used in biology labs. Linchong You gives credit to Collins for having the imagination to freeze dry them with synthetic genes.
Alongside the paper-based biochemistry, Jim Collins' team – in collaboration with Peng Yin, also at Harvard University's Wyss Institute – has also introduced a new way of programming RNA, the molecular cousin of DNA which ribosome machines read. Their method makes the gene-circuits far more flexible than previous approaches.
The new type of RNA can be programmed to react and respond to any particular biochemical input, and then switch on the rest of the genetic machinery.
"This gives us a programmable sensor that can be readily and rapidly designed," Collins explains.
The Ebola test they experimented with is a proof of principle showing how flexible the programming step is.
In contrast, conventional antibody tests take months and cost thousands of pounds to devise, the researchers argue.
The genetic test kit gives a simple colour output, turning the paper from yellow to purple, with the change visible within half an hour. By changing the input trigger, variants of the test could be used to reveal antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial infections or biomarkers of other disease conditions.
Their Ebola test is not suitable for use in the epidemic areas at the moment, Collins emphasises, but it would be simple to devise one that is.
And price is not the only consideration. Collins points out the freeze-dried circuits are stable at room temperature. In large parts of the world where electricity is unreliable, or there are no refrigerators, this would be a particular advantage.


The product is great and the price is unbeatable! Thanks again from a very happy new customer.
Love this product, the texture is amazing .. aware of the seller was kept very generous and me my product .
It is really soft and does not shed or tangle so far. Thanks for the service I will order again, hopefully.
Easy to use and very natural feeling. I personally am perfectly happy with mine and the price is unbeatable.
Very accurate description. These are very simple to put in and to use.Just remember to tighten as the weeks go by.Color is amazing and matches perfecrly.
I love this hair so much, it is very soft and curly and was very good quality, the hair did not fall out and was a pretty good length and will work great with mywork I have in mind.
Now I will look fantastic, I bought this product to add volume to my hair for my wedding day.

I love this fun Spring wreath that Sarah made for her front door. Even more fun is what she used for a wreath form. Forget about running to the craft store to find one, just look in last years pool supplies and dig up an old pool noodle!
You can check out how to use a pool noodle as a wreath form and how to make this fun Spring wreath over at Thrifty Decor Chick.
You can check out more Easter wreath ideas in my archives too!
I have both of the pool noodle & the spring wreath pinned on pinterest as well. I love this wreath!


We are called to be fearless sharers of the real love of Jesus Christ to everyone around us.
Fearless courage is inspiring, especially when it comes to saving a life or many lives. We saw a great example of this September 11, 2001. In the same vein, we are called to be first responders for Jesus. Sadly, only 2% of practicing Christians ever invite their friends to church. Fewer than that will ever share the gospel with anyone. Why are we so afraid?
Beginning this weekend, we will live out one of our values: We tell them of Him. We will tell everyone–our family, friends, coworkers, and classmates–about Jesus and how He has transformed our souls and our lives. Let's become fearless in sharing Jesus with those around us.
In today's politically correct culture, how do you understand and apply Paul's words from 2 Timothy in your life?
Matthew 28:19-20 is commonly known as the Great Commission. Unfortunately, many Christ-followers have turned it into the great omission. We simply do not share our faith often, if at all. First, discuss what fears keep us from sharing our faith. Second, think of ways to overcome these fears.
One common fear is the fear of pushing others away when sharing our faith. Discuss how engaging others and building relationships opens doors for us to tell others what Jesus has been doing in our lives.
Jesus gave a directive to GO. Go where? To all the nations–this means to everyone. He wants us to do several things as we go–make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to observe everything He has commanded. Spend some time fleshing out how we can obey this command today. Be specific about what actions you plan to take.
Reread the very first sentence and the very last sentence of Matthew 28:18-20. How does this empower us to move from fearful to fearless?
For deeper study, as an alternative to the questions above, read 2 Timothy 1:7-9 or Matthew 28:18-20, and use the Discovery Bible Method to explore the passage.
This week our focus has been on overcoming fear of speaking to others about our faith. How can we help each other to become bolder in sharing what Jesus has been doing in our lives this week?
Engaging at Faith Promise: As a church family we all walk together along the path of life. Each of us has different fears. Pray together asking God to give boldness to empower and encourage each other to face and overcome those fears.
Engaging in Community and the World: One of the best ways to overcome our fear of sharing Christ with others is to share Christ with others. Just do it! Don't allow Satan to paralyze you with the fear of what ifs. What if I offend them, what if I lose a friend, what if they laugh at me, what if…We have power to become fearless and courageous if we allow God to work through us.
The fear of offending someone or being thought of as a Jesus freak can keep us silent. If we truly believe Jesus promise to never leave us nor forsake us, then we will be able to draw strength from that promise. He didn't suggest we go to everyone and share about Him, He commanded we go. This week pray for God to remove fear and replace it with boldness. Ask Him to remove the blinders that hide the lost and dying from your eyes, and to let you see others the way He sees them.
Main Idea: While some wait for MORE, let us MASTER what's in our hands.
Discussion Starter: How do you manage your household budget?
Introduction: This week, Pastor walked us through the importance of managing the money we have and how budgeting is simple math. A budget is a detailed plan to allocate every cent of your money. It reflects your values, reveals your goals, and helps make hard decisions for you. After-all, Self-Control is a fruit of Spirit! The enemy tries to convince us to outspend ourselves right into debt, living paycheck to paycheck. However, believers can master money and not be its slave!
Pastor challenged us to: Courageously evaluate our financial situation, review our income and spending, and decide whether it is mandatory or discretionary. In order to participate in Supernatural Stewardship, we must spend wisely, save diligently, and give generously.
Read John 10:10. Discuss what you think the abundant life means. How are you living that life now? What is an area that God may be calling you to give up, to free yourself from the constraints of this world and step into the life to which Jesus calls us?
Read Luke 14:28-33. Jesus spoke practically about the importance of budgeting, but this lesson pointed us to the cost of following Jesus. What does it take to follow Jesus? How do we apply this principle to our approach with money?
Read Proverbs 6:6-8. What point is Solomon making here? How can you use these verses to impart wisdom to those you influence? (children, grandchildren, young co-workers, etc).
For deeper study, as an alternative to the questions above, read Luke 14:28-33 and use the Discovery Bible Method to explore the passage.
This week, our focus was on getting our financial household in order so that money can serve us so we can better honor and serve the Lord. Discuss financial areas where you need better self-control. Come up with some practical steps you can take to achieve your goal. Pray together over this.
Engaging at Faith Promise: Our church family has many needs, some of which are financial. Consider reviewing the published Faith Promise financial reports from the last 3 years (go to: faithpromise.org/give). Pray as a group to explore ways to offer your money in faith and submission as God calls you to provide for our church family.
Engaging in Community / the World: God called each of us out of our life of sin to a life of freedom found only in His Son, Jesus Christ. How will you generously share your financial resources so that the Good News of Jesus Christ is shared with this hurting and dying world? Step out in faith to provide the only lasting source of hope and freedom!
Generosity is more than tithing and more than just money. A stingy person can give ten percent. The point is not for us to be legalistic and calculate to the penny ten percent to give back to God – it is a matter of the heart! As Christ followers, we are called to be generous! Giving sacrificially isn't just about finances, it is also about giving of our time and possessions. How will you prayerfully consider your resources and how best to use them to further the Kingdom of God? Keep in mind that our Savior, Lord, and greatest treasure demonstrated the ultimate act of generosity in coming to rescue us.
Answers may include a life full of stamina, energy, ability to do things, enjoyment, satisfaction and contentment in Jesus.
It is His money to begin with, and we are called to be good stewards of it. It's all from Him, it's all about it Him, and it's all for Him.
By demonstrating gratitude toward and confidence in God (rather than in wealth). Also, by giving back to God some of your wealth as a sacrifice in recognition that God gave it to you in the first place.
It is giving God our first and best. If we will truly honor the Lord with our giving, it won't be with the last and leftovers.
God is the master and distributor of unlimited resources. He knows how to prosper and take care of those who honor Him with the resources He has given to them.
These verses speak about the value of hard work. The difference between success and failure, potential disappointment or fulfillment, is often hard work.
Main Idea: Worshiping God eventually leads to imitating God, which means giving with gladness.
Another important word to define is "worship." Worship doesn't mean singing or praying. Worship literally means "worth-ship" – or "to consider something of worth or value." When we value something, our lives tend toward centering around it. Moreover, if we maintain our valuation of it, the very person we are changes, too.
Read Luke16:10-13. In verse 10, Jesus says that if someone isn't faithful with a little, they aren't faithful with a lot. And in the same way, someone that is faithful with little is faithful with a lot. Can you think of a time in your life when you've seen this in person?
In verse 11, Jesus mentions "unrighteous mammon" and "true riches." What do you think he means by those words?
Still in verse 11, what would it mean to be faithful with the unrighteous mammon?
What is it that you value in your life? Would someone who didn't know you be able to tell?
If someone managed to see all the money you've ever spent, and that was the only thing they could ever see about you, what sort of conclusions would they come to about what you value?
Like #5, but with time spent, instead of money. What would someone think you value?
For deeper study, as an alternative to the questions above, read Luke 4:14-21 and use the Discovery Bible Method to explore the passage.
Engaging at Faith Promise: All believers, together, make up the body of Christ. That's part of how we know that we are made to give: there is no body part that just takes and never gives. There are plenty of needs here at Faith Promise. Giving of your time is surely valuable. On Sunday, just walk up to someone who is doing something you think would be up your alley: taking care of kids, tending the coffee shop, greeting folks who come in, singing, or anything else and ask how to get involved.
Engaging in Community/ the World: There are plenty of people in the Knoxville area who need help. Faith Promise can help you get in touch with many of those folks: God Behind Bars, KARM, and Emerald Youth Foundation, just to name a few. Visit the Missions table on Sunday at your campus to find out how God can use you. Additionally, think how your whole small group could participate. There's no reason that you can't do more things together!
Have you ever seen someone whose main priority was money? What did their life look like?
Have you ever seen someone whose main priority was God? What did their life look like?
Have you ever seen someone whose main priority was money, but they wanted everyone to think that their main priority was God? What did their life look like?
Therefore, what happens to people who choose to spend time around you? What happens to you when you're around them?

Q: Cursor do input indo para final da linha com jQuery e propertychange Por exemplo, eu preencho o input deste fiddle com "ste" e depois volto para o início do input para digitar "te" antes de "ste", ele vai para o fim do input quando digito o primeiro caractere "t".
Ou seja, sempre que digito um caractere e o cursor não está no fim, o cursor vai para o fim do input após eu digitar o caractere.
Este é o script que estou utilizando. Vi em algum lugar que setando o this.selectionEnd funcionaria mas não funcionou.
    $('body').on('input propertychange', '#form_cliente_id', function (e) {
        var position = this.selectionStart;
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#form_cliente_id').submit();
        this.selectionEnd = position;
    });

Alguma dica de por que está acontecendo isso e como resolver?
Obrigado!

A: Descobri que o problema estava no seguinte trecho:
oninput="this.value = this.value.toUpperCase()"

Retirando este trecho e incluindo este trecho, resolveu o problema:
style="text-transform: uppercase;"

A: Você estava pondo o manipulador de evento no id errado. Em vez de #form_cliente_id, deveria ser #nomecliente:
$(function () {
  $(document).on('change', '#nomecliente', function () {
    alert('Submitei o form com nome de cliente: "' + $(this).val() + '"');
    $(this).parents('form').submit();
  });
});

As the days get cooler there is nothing I like more than to whip up a comforting soup in the best soup maker on the market, the Thermomix. In fact I think souping is the new juicing at this time of year and there are certainly de-tox benefits to a great chicken noodle soup or bone broth. It can be tough to wake up to an icy cold glass of well, green smoothie, all through the winter, so change it up, and soup it up! It's time to get creative.
The most common soup recipes using a Thermomix are more likely to be for a pureed soup because of course, how easy is it to sauté the aromatics, add the vegies, stock, cook, add cream, (or not) then puree all in one appliance?
If pureed soups are your thing, make them an art form and go crazy with flavour. Think chilies, kaffir lime, lemongrass, leeks, homemade stock, umami paste, coconut sugar, soy sauce, tamarind paste, herbs of all description, coconut cream, almond milk; think salt, sweet, sour, bitter and then blend and taste to perfection.
I often hear the argument that as the Thermomix bowl only has a 2.5 litre capacity it cannot feed a family and perhaps if you are used to grandma's 25 litre pot of ever evolving but indeterminate soup on the stove all winter long, you could be right. I have always found there are ways around this, from adding piles of fresh diced veggies or sliced meats to serving bowls and then pouring a steaming hot soup over them, to steaming an entire cabbage, chicken, meatballs in the Varoma, over the base soup as you cook it. I love to pile up soup bowls with corn chips, homemade garlic bread croutons, diced cooked bacon, grated cheese, salsa verde, chopped herbs or coleslaw, dollops of sour cream or yoghurt, there are just so many ways to make 2.5 litres of delicious steaming hot soup stretch and feed the entire neighborhood.
Fragrant, aromatic, filling, but elegant? And all of the above? Of course.
I wrote a soup recipe book for our favourite soup maker, I hope you know that! And whilst it is full of everyday amazing family style soups, there are some beautiful, fine dining soups and ideas in that little cookbook that can help your souping transcend the every day.
A delicate swirl of Parmesan cream and shaving of truffle can elevate the humble Mushroom soup to a religious experience for the diner. Go even further and garnish with a couple of sautéed scallops, a micro herb or three and you are in five star territory.
Or why not serve soup as a dessert? Chocolate, coffee, fruit that you are used to seeing served hot in desserts are all great bases for a dessert soup. Top them with a big scoop of ice cream, some freeze dried fruit, candied nuts, shortbread crumb or shaved chocolate. The possibilities are endless.
So if you are about to convert a favourite recipe to a Thermomix recipe, or just want to get all cheffy, or are hoping to get thinner/healthier through souping, there are a few rules to follow.
Observe the Thermomix bowl limits. Don't over fill especially if you plan on pureeing.
Homemade is always best, so think ahead and make either your stock powder or liquid stock yourself and have it handy. It can be a flavour boost that you just cannot duplicate with a supermarket product.
Don't be afraid of adding flavour, but taste test as you do. Throwing the entire contents of the fridge vegie drawer may have it's place in a stock paste recipe, but you want more than that out of your soup.
Remember that adding ingredients to the dish after the soup is cooked will help you feed the family with ease and add fresh healthy flavour.
If souping for health, you are in good company. A South American proverb maintains that 'Good broth will resurrect the dead.' If you are prepared to juice it in summer and drink it, then souping it in winter and drinking it, is not that big of a stretch. Cure all ills this winter with a bowl of nutritious steaming home made soup. It's traditional. As well as effective.
