In modern society; the copyright system seems to restrict the development of the contemporary arts. A pragmatic relationship between the artist and the artwork is created by copyright as it relies heavily on the idea of intellectual property law. An issue with the copyright act is that the meaning of artistic work is only limited to a few definitions. Contemporary art practices unsettle the doctrinal certainty of copyright. It is seemingly apparent that modern artists are unable to receive protection, so, therefore, utilise previous artistic works due to the limitations of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. The growth of digitalisation does not aid in protecting the artist because digital copies can be easily created and reproduced. This issue is a significant reason why modern visual art is repressed and cannot truly develop.
This is backed up by the way copyright evaluates the visual arts by utilising an approach which has been taken from theories of art, mainly from the areas of contemporary and Appropriation arts. Jeff Koons and Sherrie Levine are modern artists who challenge the legal concept as to what is to be taken as 'art' and what is to be protected by copyright, with an intention to protect those who are not included in the vision of modernism. This is portrayed by some of their work which is critical of the legal position and how it impacts upon modern visual arts.
One type of contemporary art is performance. This "live art" is strongly defined by the artist's commitment to their own work. The artist will appear on stage, and they may not be alone as occasionally there will be some public participation in order for the work to exist. This was the case of a performance carried out by Marina Abramovic titled "the artist is present" (2010) where she was seated in a chair in the Museum of Modern Art in New York for two months for more than 700 hours. Spectators would sit in front of her, sometimes for hours without talking. When analysing this work, must it be asked what are the limits of participation? Are the spectator's owners of this work? Does this work need protection? The UK law protects the creator and the author of the work and the law of copyright is covered under the Berne convention.
The statute of Anne (1709) guarded the rights of art works and a series of statues protected engravings in 1755. Lithographically produced prints or prints produced by alternative mechanical processes earned protection from the ICA in 1852. The primary step towards a more modernised statute was the Copyright Act 1911. In 1956, the law took further technological advances into account. Finally, after several other legal changes during the 70's, the CDPA was adopted by the UK.
Vigilance of "Intellectual property rights" by designates of forfending expressions of artistic characters as cited can be sourced from the CDPA. "No copyright can subsist in a work engendered as a true collective enterprise (rather than by one or more identifiable or incognito 'authors.')" For "artistic works" to be copyrighted they must slake the qualifying factors: firstly, it must be an "original"; it must be a "work"; it must be "literary" ; it must be capable of being "fixated" and has to be "qualified" in order to slake the copyright aegis criterion. Copyright can only subsist in certain classes of works, exhaustively defined in s1 of the CDPA.
The normal origination of the importance of 'original' is something that is new which has not been made previously. The CDPA unmistakably expresses that copyright will subsist legitimately in "original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works." However, 'original' isn't characterized inside the Act. It is just through case law that the valuation for the legitimate implying that the law has appended to this term can be resolved.


Londinium MMXVI — permundum. film photography.
London has always had a special place in my heart. I first visited London years (decades) ago in seventh grade during my stay in a small southern town called Christchurch, while attending a three-week intensive English course. I remember being in awe during my first visit. Years later I would return to England to study at Lancaster University and I began my career in London itself in the Covent Garden area. London was then my "home base" for three and a half years before I moved to the New York City metropolitan area.
Needless to say, a lot of my friends from uni still live there or close by. It's been a while since I last had visited London, so it did not taking a lot of convincing when I recently had the chance to go there again for pleasure for a long weekend, and airfares were cheap.

'Fashion Show, Fashion Show, Fashion Show At Lunch!': The 10 Best Kelly Kapoor Episodes of 'The Office'
By Josh Sorokach Twitter @joshsorokach Sep 12, 2017 at 8:45am	 1706 Shares
Photos: NBC ; Illustration: Dillen Phelps
Mindy Kaling wasn't just an invaluable member of The Office, she was the comedy MVP of the beloved NBC sitcom. Sure, Jim and Dwight's nonstop antics and Michael Scott's good-natured buffoonery are fondly remembered, but don't you dare sleep on the under-appreciated comedic charms of customer service representative extraordinaire Kelly Kapoor. Kaling's cheerful portrayal of everyone's favorite text message-whisperer imbued the series with a playfully absurd energy that was a bright spot in an already stellar ensemble cast.
Before exiting the series to create and star in her own show, The Mindy Project (the final season of which premieres today on Hulu), Kaling was integral to the early success of The Office in a behind the scenes capacity, working as a writer and producer on the show for a number of years. Whether we're watching the romantic roller coaster of drama between Kelly and Ryan, exploring the fun friendship between Erin and Kelly, or marveling at Kapoor's sweet, sweet dance moves, the series was so much better thanks to Mindy Kaling.
Her sexuality? Subtle. Mindy's impact on The Office? Indelible. Two weeks ago we celebrated the very best of Michael "That's what she said" Scott. Today, we revisit the 10 best Kelly Kapoor episodes of The Office.
"Valentine's Day" (Season 2, Episode 16)
Photo: Netflix
Mindy Kaling and John Krasinski are an extremely underrated comedic pairing. Sure, this episode is remembered for Michael's trip to NYC ("I'm gonna go get me a New York slice!") and the first of many hookup and breakups between Kelly and Ryan, but Jim being stuck in the middle of Kelly's whirlwind of drama is an entertaining way to showcase Halpert's own romantic frustrations.
Ryan's exasperated "I hooked up with her on February 13th…" gets better with every single Office rewatch.
Stream 'Valentine's Day' on Netflix
"The Coup" (Season 3, Episode 3)
Pam and Kelly struck up a nice little friendship in the beginning of the third season. With Pam's partner in workplace chicanery off torturing Andy at the Stamford branch, Kelly became her de facto office pal. The two not only went on a double date during Episode 2 ("The Convention"), but their friendship led to one of the catchiest jingles in the history of The Office.
Why is "Fashion show, fashion show, fashion show at lunch" so funny? Maybe it's because Pam is initially hesitant to try on her new dress but eventually relents due to Kelly's joyous, musical persistence? The best members of a comedy ensemble make the most of a few lines, and Mindy Kaling certainly did that with this memorable moment.

"Diwali" (Season 3, Episode 6)
Photo: NBC
This Season 3 episode stemmed from a Diwali party that Kaling and her friend Vali Chandrasekaran (a writer on My Name is Earl) held for the casts of both shows. Written by Kaling and featuring her real life parents, "Diwali" had no shortage of laugh out loud moments.
Kelly focusing on her outfit as well as her complete lack of knowledge regarding the holiday is vintage Kapoor.
Kelly: Diwali is awesome. And there's food and there's gonna be dancing, and oh I got the raddest outfit, it has sparkles…
Michael Scott: Kelly, why don't you tell us a little bit about the origins of the holiday?
Kelly: Oh, um, I dunno it's really old, I think.
Stream 'Diwali' on Netflix
"Product Recall" (Season 3, Episode 21)
"Product Recall" not only features the funniest cold open in Office history, but it's also a standout episode for Kelly Kapoor.
After a shipment of paper goes out with an obscene watermark, Kelly is thrust into a leadership role as she trains the accounting department — Oscar, Kevin, and Angela — to help with the influx of customer service calls. We learn that Kelly is surprisingly good at her job while being treated to an always enjoyable Kelly/Angela subplot.
Also, no matter how many times I watch this episode, Kevin clapping after Kelly says they should give themselves a round of applause for "no longer being losers" will always elicit a chuckle.
Fun fact: Current Superstore showrunner Justin Spitzer co-wrote this episode.
Stream 'Product Recall' on Netflix
"Dunder Mifflin Infinity" (Season 4, Episode 2)
"Dunder Mifflin Infinity" focuses on one of the best plots of the series: Ryan Howard's transformation from temp to boss. When the former "fire guy" returns to Scranton, Kelly uses a fake pregnancy to trick him into taking her out to dinner.
Also, I love how Ryan casually divulges that Karen Filippelli (Rashida Jones) asked him out. Can you imagine a six-episode arc of those two dating? Kelly dramatically crashing a reluctant double date between Ryan/Karen and Jim/Pam would have been solid gold.
I'll save it for my Office fan-fic.
Stream 'Dunder Mifflin Infinity' on Netflix
"The Deposition" (Season 4, Episode 8)
Sure, the Mindy/Ryan train wreck is zany sitcom gold, but you can't ignore the hilarity that was the Kelly/Darryl (Craig Robinson) relationship. The decision to pair the overly dramatic Kelly with the stoically pragmatic Darryl resulted in a lot of fun moments, but Kelly's overzealous ping pong fandom (and killer smack talk) abides.
"Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your boyfriend!
Cause! Cause! Cause! Cause! Cause he sucks at ping pong."
Stream 'The Deposition' on Netflix
"Weight Loss" (Season 5, Episode 1)
We can all relate to Kelly Kapoor during the Season 5 premiere of The Office.
The gang from Scranton take a good-natured company-wide weight loss competition a bit too far as their quest to win extra vacation days — and Kelly's quest to fit into a size two bikini — results in Ms. Kapoor passing out and having to be placed on an I.V. for two days. Undaunted, Kelly ingests a tapeworm she buys from Creed (naturally) in order to help her lose more weight.
"That wasn't a tapeworm." — Creed Bratton
Stream 'Weight Loss' on Netflix
"Business Trip" (Season 5 Episode 8)
Whatever will they/won't they tension Mindy and B.J. Novak have in real life certainly enhances the on-screen chemistry between Kelly and Ryan. Dunder Mifflin's most unstable couple reunite (all over the office) as Novak's lethal combination of mind games and pushups prove to be too much for Kapoor to handle.
From Darryl's cheerful reaction to receiving Kelly's breakup text to Ryan's almost immediate look of regret, Kelly and Ryan's tsunami of mayhem resulted in copious amounts of hilarity.
Stream 'Business Trip' on Netflix
"Lecture Circuit" (Season 5, Episodes 16 & 17)
Hell hath no fury like a scorned Kelly Kapoor.
Two incredible Season 5 episodes deal with a Kelly vs. Jim and Dwight plot: "Lecture Circuit" and "Customer Survey." Both are terrific, but "Lecture Circuit" earns a spot on this list because it's also written by Kaling. After taking over the Party Planning Committee, Jim and Dwight forget to celebrate Kelly's birthday, which is obviously a cardinal sin. Mindy is pitch perfect playing the aggrieved martyr of forgotten birthdays and the Jim, Kelly, Dwight trio is an under-appreciated source of laughs.
Kaling penned a number of classic Office episodes during her dynamic run on the series including "The Dundies," "The Injury," "Ben Franklin," and Jim and Pam's wedding.
"I think sometimes people are really mean to the hot, popular girl."
Stream 'Lecture Circuit' on Netflix
"Finale" (Season 9, Episode 23)
With apologies to "Diversity Day," "Night Out" "Afterhours," and countless other Kapoor classics, I feel as though this list wouldn't be complete without the Office finale. Kelly ditches her husband, Ryan abandons (and knowingly poisons) his son, and one of the funniest, most dysfunctional couples in TV history run off into the sunset.
Kelly: I don't know, Ryan. Baby Drake didn't look so good.
Ryan: He'll be fine. I let him suck on a strawberry. He's allergic, but he'll get over it fast. I had to talk to you.
Kelly: You gave your baby an allergic reaction just to talk to me?
*they begin feverishly making out*
It's not a happy ending in the traditional sense, but I can't imagine a more fitting conclusion to the epic romance of Kelly Kapoor and Ryan Howard.

Los Angeles Resident Missing after ASR in San Diego
January 29, 2008 Spencer Cross	5 Comments
San Diego police are searching for Los Angeles resident Dane Williams who went missing after this year's Action Sports Retailers trade show. 23-year-old Williams, who works for Hurley, was last seen around 2 a.m. Saturday, leaving the Hard Rock Cafe outside of the Marriott Gaslamp in San Diego.
Though the police say foul play is not suspected, friends and family have expressed concern, noting that it's out of character for Williams to skip work without notice. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Diego police department at (619) 531-2000.
UPDATE: As noted in the comments, ABC 7 is now reporting that Williams has been found dead in an alley.

The Addict says:
From ABC7, Dane was found dead in a downtown San Diego alley today.
David Markland says:
The article doesn't conclusively state that body is Williams, BTW.
I'm also confused if the body was found in Huntington Beach or San Diego.
Alas, this article does confirm the body was his – found in the City Heights section of San Diego:
http://cbs2.com/local/Missing.Man.Found.2.640854.html
5000! says:
Actually, they changed the headline. When it first went up, it was "Police find body of missing Huntington Beach man" or something like that. Now it's "Police find body in San Diego alley."
trixkidz says:
The Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego is a very dangerous place.
Odd, since it is a tourist destination filled with visitors to PetCo Park for a Padres game or convention-goers or just tourists. When I was there I noted that the atmosphere was scary – not because people were drunk (which they were), but because there were clearly gangs of young men who clearly were waiting for their next victim.
In fact, you may recall that LA Times reporter Geoff Boucher was attacked when he was down covering the Comic-Con geek fest.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comiccon/2007/07/pow-bam.html
What's wierd is that the city of San Deigo promotes the Gaslamp Quarter as a visitor's destination, but apparently does nothing to make it safer despite the repeated crimes and attacks. And now this – so unneccessary…

Biografia

Andragazio era originario del Mar Nero.

Nel 383, anno della rivolta di Magno Massimo, fu nominato magister equitum dell'usurpatore e inviato a catturare e uccidere l'imperatore Graziano; Andragazio portò a termine il suo compito a Lugdunum, il 25 agosto di quello stesso anno, con uno stratagemma: impossessatosi di una carrozza imperiale, mise in giro la voce che la moglie di Graziano, che l'imperatore aveva da poco sposato, era tornata dalla Bretagna, ma quando l'imperatore raggiunse la carrozza e l'aprì, dentro trovò Andragazio che lo uccise.

Nel 388 comandava la flotta di Magno Massimo in Adriatico, incaricata di intercettare la fuga di Valentiniano II o i rinforzi portati da Teodosio I: quando Massimo fu catturato e ucciso ad Aquileia da Teodosio, Andragazio si uccise gettandosi in mare.

Russia's Ukraine passport move aimed to destabilise, exacerbate conflict - EU
FILE PHOTO: European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini arrives at an extraordinary European Union leaders summit to discuss Brexit, in Brussels, Belgium April 10, 2019. REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russia's decision to ease the granting of Russian citizenship to people living in separatist regions of Ukraine is another attack by Moscow on Ukrainian sovereignty, the European Union said on Thursday, calling on Russian to stop such actions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order on Wednesday simplifying the procedure for obtaining a Russian passport for residents of separatist-controlled eastern Ukraine, prompting calls from Kiev for more international sanctions.
"The signature by President Putin ... is another attack on Ukraine's sovereignty by Russia," the spokesperson for the EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement.
"The timing ... shows Russia's intention to further destabilise Ukraine and to exacerbate the conflict. We expect Russia to refrain from actions that are against the Minsk agreements and impede the full reintegration of the non-Government controlled areas into Ukraine," it said.

FoI minister Matthew Hancock would be 'very happy' if commission suggested no changes to act, reports The Times
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn: Leveson part two has 'got to be done'
Sun publishes correction, with front page reference, over misleading 'Court Jezter' claims
By William Turvill Twitter
The Sun today published a correction, promoted on its front page, over the claim Jeremy Corbyn was willing to join the Privy Council because it would benefit Labour financially.
The "Court Jezter" front page story suggested the new Labour leader and republican had agreed to kiss the hand of the Queen and become a privy councillor "so he can get his hands on £6.2million of state cash".
Ex-IPSO chairman Sir Alan Moses says BBC 'far too wet' in face of Government criticism
Mail on Sunday rapped by IPSO over article wrongly framing Labour plans on capital gains tax
Outgoing IPSO chairman Sir Alan Moses says group discrimination 'greatest issue' regulator has grappled with
It claimed a "constitutional crisis" could have been triggered if if the Opposition leader had declined to join, putting the money at risk.
It was published on Tuesday 15 September, the day after Tony Gallagher announced he had started his new job editing the paper.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) upheld a complaint about the story from Rosemary Brocklehurst and ordered The Sun to publish its adjudication on page four or further forward with a front page reference. IPSO also ordered for the adjudication to be published online and promoted on The Sun's homepage for 24 hours.
The Sun today published the adjudication on page two, with a reference in the bottom left corner of its front page (pictured).
Brocklehurst complained to IPSO that "there was no basis for the claim that Mr Corbyn had accepted Privy Council membership in order to secure £6.2million of funding. She said that Short money is available to all opposition parties with seats in Parliament, provided that its members have sworn the Oath of Allegiance. The complainant said the article had misleadingly used the quotation from the QC to suggest a link between Privy Council membership and Short money eligibility; in fact there is no requirement for Privy Council membership."
According to IPSO, The Sun accepted "it could have been clearer in certain respects" but said its story was based on "legitimate speculation based on accurate information".
The ruling said:
It emphasised that the article had referred to Privy Council membership as the only way Mr Corbyn could "secure" his position as Leader of the Opposition. In its view, this was justified by the following reasoning: had he refused Privy Council membership – and therefore not been party to the important information discussed during Privy Council meetings – he would not have been able to carry out his duties as Opposition Leader, and his position as Leader would not have been "secure". This would raise constitutional concerns regarding his – and by extension, the Party's – role in Opposition, as referred to by the QC. This, in turn, could affect his party's entitlement to Short money, which is intended to support the party's Opposition role.
The newspaper argued that there was a direct link between the Office of the Leader of the Opposition and Short money: around £700,000 of the total would be allocated to the running costs of its Leader's office and would be available only if he secured his position as Leader of the Opposition by joining the Privy Council; had Mr Corbyn failed to do so, the entire £6.2m available to Labour could have been at risk.
The newspaper said that, since it was able to demonstrate a link between Privy Council membership and Short money, it was entitled to speculate that Mr Corbyn had accepted membership in order to secure this funding.
However, The Sun did accept it was not clear that not all of the £6.2m would fund the leader of the opposition's office and offered the publish the following clarification:
In an article of 15th September, headlined "Court Jezter", we said that Jeremy Corbyn decided to join the Privy Council in order to get his hands on Short Money, the fund (in total amounting to £6.2million) provided by the State for the Opposition. This was based on our argument that his Privy Council membership was integral to his role as Leader of the Opposition. We are happy to make clear that only £700k of Short Money goes directly to the Office of the Leader, with the remainder paying for other aspects of the official opposition, including research and the Whips' Office. The formal criteria for Short Money does not explicitly include reference to membership of the Privy Council at all. Some experts have said that Corbyn's non membership would have had no impact on Labour's receipt of the money.
IPSO ruled that the "newspaper was entitled to speculate about the potential consequences of a refusal by Mr Corbyn to join the Privy Council, and whether similar reasoning had played a role in his decision to accept membership".
But it said these were not the terms in which the article was "framed". It said the story "amounted to a factual claim that the party's receipt of Short money was conditional on Privy Council membership".
It said: "While the article included some explanation of the link the newspaper had drawn between the two – including the quotation from the QC – it did not acknowledge that Short money is not formally conditional on Privy Council membership.
"The presentation of the claims in this form, without clarifying information, constituted a failure to take care not to publish misleading information.
"Further, the article had referred repeatedly to the sum of £6.2m in the context of Mr Corbyn's role as Opposition Leader, but had not clarified that the great majority of the funding relates to the Party as a whole, as an opposition party, rather than the Leader of the Opposition specifically.
"It had also failed to clarify that Short money is allocated based on the number of seats won by a party in opposition, rather than any specific role leading the Opposition, and would therefore be unaffected by any concerns over Mr Corbyn's status as Opposition Leader. This represented a further failure to take care not to publish misleading information.
"It was significantly misleading to claim, as fact, that Labour's access to Short money (either the £6.2m, or the £777,538.48) was conditional on Mr Corbyn's joining the Privy Council; the two were not directly connected. The correct position on the requirements for obtaining Short money and the basis on which it is allocated was available in the public domain."
IPSO said The Sun's offer of a correction was "appropriate" but said it was offered too late, "more than a month after being notified of the complaint".
It said: "Given the nature of the misleading statements the complaint demonstrated, the newspaper had failed to make the offer sufficiently promptly, and this represented a breach of Clause 1(ii)."
The adjudication, published by The Sun today, said:
Following the publication of an article in The Sun on 15 September, headlined "Court Jezter", Rosemary Brocklehurst complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that The Sun breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors' Code of Practice. The complaint was upheld, and IPSO required the newspaper to publish this adjudication.
The front page article reported that Jeremy Corbyn had accepted Privy Council membership after becoming Labour leader "so he can get his hands on £6.2m" of Short money. It said that, had Mr Corbyn refused membership, a "constitutional crisis" would have been triggered, jeopardising the £6.2m.
The complainant said that Labour's access to Short money was not determined by its leader's Privy Council membership. Instead, most of it is made available based on the number of seats secured by Labour in the last election.
The Sun said that the article could have been clearer, but was based on accurate information. If Mr Corbyn had not accepted Privy Council membership, his position as Opposition Leader would not have been "secure" – this would have triggered the "constitutional crisis", and risked his party's access to the £6.2m. Nonetheless, it offered at a late stage in the complaint to publish a clarification which made clear that the criteria for Short Money does not include reference to Privy Council membership.
IPSO's Complaints Committee found that it was significantly misleading to claim that Labour's access to the £6.2m depended on whether Mr Corbyn was a member of the Privy Council. The two were not formally connected and the article did not make clear how a majority of the funding was in fact allocated. The Committee upheld the complaint as a breach of Clause 1.
The newspaper failed to correct the significantly misleading coverage promptly and IPSO required The Sun to publish this adjudication.
Another part of Brocklehurst's complaint under clause one (accuracy) of the Editors' Code of Practice was rejected.
She was concerned that the story was illustrated with "a digitally produced image showing Mr Corbyn wearing a jester's hat". She also "denied that there was any evidence to support the assertion that Mr Corbyn was a 'leftie who hates the royals'".
The Sun denied the image was misleading, telling IPSO "it had obviously been manipulated to lampoon him". It also said, given his previous public statements opposing the monarchy and his political position, it was not misleading to characterise him as a "leftie who hates royals".
IPSO ruled: "The image of Mr Corbyn wearing a Jester's hat, and the characterisation of Mr Corbyn as a 'leftie who hates royals' were not significantly misleading, given his political stance, and his views on the monarchy. These concerns did not raise a breach of Clause 1."

The Mousetrap has celebrated going into its 60th year on stage with a gala performance featuring stars including Hugh Bonneville and Miranda Hart.
The Agatha Christie play opened in the West End in 1952 and holds the record for the world's longest-running show.
To mark the success of the production, a memorial celebrating novelist Christie has also been unveiled.
Christie's grandson Mathew Prichard, was on hand for the unveiling and introduced the 25,000th performance.
Mr Prichard was generously given the play's royalties for his ninth birthday by his grandmother.
For the staging of the gala performance, Phyllida Lloyd, who directed the Mamma Mia film as well as many West End hits, brought together a host of famous faces.
Among the cast brought together for the one-off show were Patrick Stewart, Julie Walters and Iain Glen.
The eight actors had less than 24 hours to learn the play and memorise stage directions.
"One of the tricky things is that there are so many entrances and exits and it operates pretty quick-fire," said Chariots of Fire star Nicholas Farrell, who played detective sergeant Trotter.
Performed as a staged reading, meaning they were in costume but reading from scripts, the cast admitted to feeling nervous about taking on such an enormous task.
Much of the success of The Mousetrap has been down to the collusion with audiences, who are asked to not reveal the culprit of the "whodunnit".
Tamsin Greig, who took the role of Mrs Ralston, said she was most worried about dealing with props that could ruin the plot. "Can you imagine if I had put them in the wrong place, and not hidden them away?!"
Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville said: "Tonight was the 25,000th performance and tomorrow will be the 25,000th professional performance, so that is pretty special. I'm very proud to be part of such a great legacy. I think she (Christie) has given work to all of us over the years."
Many of the cast for the gala performance confessed to having never seen the play before.
Sir Patrick Stewart said: "I came to see it last night for the first time, and I thought 'how has this passed me by'."
The special performance also had a serious side as it was raising money for the Mousetrap Theatre Projects, which aims to open theatre up to disadvantaged young people and those with special needs.
During its 60th year, tickets for The Mousetrap will levy an additional 60p fee which will go towards supporting the charity.
Christie's grandson, Mr Prichard, will now also give over much of the royalties from the play to arts charities.

Scientists Map Nutrient Distributions Over The Atlantic Ocean; 'Of Major Interest To Oceanographers'
by Underwatertimes.com News Service - November 3, 2009 21:40 EST
Atlantis? Oceanographers Find Signs Of Atlantic Disaster 2,000 Years Ago
NOAA: Nutrient Pollution Increasing Along the New England, Mid-Atlantic Coasts
King Crab Distributions Limited By Temperature 'Thermal Barrier' In The Southern Ocean
NOAA: Study Finds That Ocean Acidification Is Accelerated In Nutrient-Rich Areas
Study: Mid-Atlantic Ridge Causes Significant Mixing Of Warm And Cold Waters In The Atlantic Ocean
SOUTHAMPTON, UK -- Large-scale distributions of two important nutrient pools – dissolved organic nitrogen and dissolved organic phosphorus (DON and DOP) have been systematically mapped for the first time over the Atlantic Ocean in a study led by Dr Sinhue Torres-Valdes of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. The findings have important implications for understanding nitrogen and phosphorus biogeochemical cycles and the biological carbon pump in the Atlantic Ocean.
Tiny marine plants called phytoplankton living in the sunlit surface waters of the oceans produce organic matter through the process of photosynthesis, thereby drawing carbon dioxide down from the atmosphere. Much of this organic matter is recycled, but some of it – the so-called export production – sinks as 'marine snow' to the deep ocean. This is also known as the biological carbon pump, and it helps to significantly reduce the CO2 released by the burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal), that would otherwise accumulate in the atmosphere.
In addition to light, phytoplankton growth requires nutrients for growth. However, inorganic nutrients are in short supply in vast areas of the oceans known as oligotrophic regions or oligotrophic oceans. This means that phytoplankton must get the nutrients from somewhere else and therefore "understanding the sources and distribution of nutrients is of major interest to oceanographers," says Torres-Valdes. The new study involved scientists based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton and the University of Liverpool.
The scientists studied the distributions of dissolved organic nutrients during eight research cruises in the Atlantic between spring 2000 and autumn 2005. Six of these cruises sampled north-south transects between 50 degrees N and 50 degrees S, while the other two sampled east-west transects at 24 and 36 degrees N. In this way, they were able systematically to cover large tracts of the Atlantic Ocean.
"This big effort combines observations and a modeling study in order to understand the role dissolved organic nutrients play in export production" said Torres-Valdes: "The large scale distributions revealed very interesting things: First, nutrient pools in surface waters are dominated by dissolved organic nutrients, making up typically more that 75% of the total nutrient pools in the upper 100 metres of the oligotrophic Atlantic Ocean. Second, patterns emerged showing differences exist between the extensive oligotrophic North and South Atlantic subtropical gyres. DON and DOP concentrations are lower in the North Atlantic. These differences are more striking in the case of DOP, which is very low in the North Atlantic subtropical gyre."
This is important because export production over the nutrient poor, or 'oligotrophic' subtropical gyres is thought to account for up to half of global oceanic carbon export. The patterns observed probably reflect differences in how dissolved organic nutrients are recycled, with DON being mostly refractory. DOP seems more easily taken up by organisms than DON. In the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, DOP may actually provide the extra phosphorus required by microbes that 'fix' nitrogen.
The researchers also used a computer model to study the effect of cycling and transport on export production. The modelling work shows that both DON and DOP are important. While DON contributes up to 40% of the particulate nitrogen export, DOP contributes up to 70% of the modelled particulate phosphorus export. This also shows that DOP is more easily used by microbes than DON.
The observations and model results are consistent with the hypothesis that DON and DOP are important for sustaining export production in surface layers of oligotrophic gyres. Specifically, these dissolved organic nutrients are produced as a result of enhanced primary production over upwelling regions – the tropical Atlantic more or less along the equator, off the Northwest African Coast and the North Atlantic subpolar gyre. These nutrients are then distributed by the ocean circulation, with a very important eddy component, and are then used and recycled as they are transported.
"It's very likely that this situation also applies to many nutrient-poor marine systems, including other subtropical gyres, the Mediterranean Sea, and summer, stratified shelf seas", said Torres-Valdes.


On March 28th, the Gilmer Bobcats battled Northwest Whitfield Bruins head to head for the best region record.
The game started off strong as both teams played great defense.
Will Barnes starting as pitcher for the Bobcats.
Will Barnes, from the Bobcats and Ethan Cronon, from the Bruins both had some great pitches from the top of the first to the bottom of the fourth. The defenses for both team were solid.
At the top of the fifth, David R, from the Bruins, gained a single RBI. Caleb Womac comes up to bat and hits a double and receives a single RBI. The Bruins are now over the Bobcats, 2-0.
At the bottom of the fifth, Will Barnes is able to get on base, but is soon left stranded.
At the top of the sixth, Seth Godfrey gains a single RBI. Shortly after, Hank Bearden hits a double and gains a double RBI. The Bobcats have now fallen behind the Bruins, 5-0.
Tatum Chadwick fighting to keep the Bobcat's defense up.
At the top of the seven, Seth Godfrey gains a single RBI, putting the Bruins over the Bobcats, 6-0.
On March 31th, the Bobcats and the Bruins will be going head to head again. The doubleheader will be hosted by that Bruins at their home field. The Bobcats will be seek for revenge as they travel over to the Bruin's on March 31st.

At least 25 of the 40 elected officials who make up the Metro Vancouver board will be replaced, including the longtime chair and vice chair.
Following last weekend's municipal election, the regional body that makes decisions about drinking water, sewers and garbage for Metro Vancouver is on the verge of significant change.
On Friday, Metro Vancouver's board of directors will meet for the last time before at least 25 of its 40 members — including the chair and vice chair — are replaced.
"I don't know if we've ever seen this across the region, at local council tables or at Metro," said Port Coquitlam's outgoing mayor, Greg Moore, who has chaired Metro Vancouver's board since 2012.
The board is made up of elected officials from 21 municipalities, from the Tsawwassen First Nation and from Electoral Area A. Board members consider matters involving drinking water, sewage treatment, garbage, air quality, urban growth, regional parks and affordable housing. The 2019 budget is more than $800 million.
After they are sworn in at the beginning of November, councils in the region's 21 municipalities will have to appoint board members. The number of members from each local government is determined by its population. Vancouver has seven members and Surrey has six, while Coquitlam and Delta each have two.
Baier said the appointment decisions could be easy or more difficult depending on how many positions are available and the politics at play within each council.
The chair and vice chair will be elected by board members at the inaugural meeting, which is scheduled for Nov. 16.
Moore said the chair is an important position and experience would be an asset because, among other things, the person in that jobs leads meetings and determines the structure, membership and terms of reference of the regional district's committees.
"Things are done differently (at the board) and it would be a really good idea to have someone who understands the ropes of Metro take that leadership position," Moore said.
While some experienced board members remain, the turnover that occurred during the election among mayors and councillors — 16 mayors either didn't run again or were not re-elected, and some municipalities had more new councillors than incumbents — means there will be many board members who have not been on the board before, or even served on local government.
Observers of Metro Vancouver politics will be watching closely to see what unfolds over the coming months.


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Italy is sleepwalking into instability as its profligate 2019 draft budget is more likely to cut growth than boost it and borrowing costs for Italians are likely to rise, European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Wednesday.
The Commission said earlier that Italy's failure to cut its huge public debt in line with EU rules warranted starting an excessive deficit procedure — an EU disciplinary process that could end in fines of 0.2 percent of GDP for Italy.
"The impact of this budget on growth is likely to be negative in our view. It does not contain significant measures to boost potential growth, possibly the opposite," Dombrovskis said.
"With what the Italian government has put on the table, we see a risk of the country sleepwalking into instability," he said.

The world is teetering on the brink of environmental catastrophes, including global warming and biodiversity collapse, that are spoken about but not tackled with the urgency they require. The solution starts right below our feet: our soil. Rebuilding this precious resource should be one of our first priorities, yet we are locked into a system that is rapidly eroding our topsoil, putting at risk the ecosystems that maintain life and our ability to grow food. While the corporate sector pushes for tech solutions and the environmental sector focuses more often on fossil fuels, agriculture is still not sufficiently spoken about in climate discussions. December 5 was World Soil Day, which should galvanize us all to play a part in wresting our food systems from harmful industries and growing alternatives that are based on resilient and regenerative farming systems so as to restore the soil and the life webs it supports.
Our corporate food regime, based on industrial agriculture, is not only a significant producer of greenhouse gas emissions but also drives the degradation of the soil so necessary to sequestering those emissions and maintaining thriving ecosystems, such as forests, that are also lungs of our planet. But while agriculture is the problem, it is also the solution. We should be looking to it not merely as a harm to be reduced through better practices, but as a cornerstone of our efforts to restore ecosystems and soils. This is why Seed the Commons has been focusing on issues around soil health and restoration in our new webinar series, Rethinking Food and Agriculture in a Time of Covid and Climate Change.
The series was launched on World Food Day 2020 with a conversation with Drs. Laila and Amir Kassam, the editors of the groundbreaking new book, Rethinking Food and Agriculture: New Ways Forward. Dr. Amir Kassam is an expert in Conservation Agriculture and the Moderator the FAO-hosted Global Platform for Conservation Agriculture Community of Practice. He has worked with farmers around the world to help them transition to Conservation Agriculture, which is a farming system that protects and rebuilds topsoil and restores soil biodiversity primarily through the context-specific application of the principles of minimal soil disturbance (no till), soil mulch cover and diversified cropping.
In a following webinar, we were joined by Sydney Grange of The Victory Gardens for Peace Initiative, a project of the Biointensive training and research center Ecology Action. The Biointensive "mini-farming" method was created by Jon Jeavons with the goal of growing complete diets in a highly efficient manner, using as little land and resources as possible. One of its principles is to create closed-loop systems for self-sufficiency and independence from our fossil-fuel based system, making it truly sustainable as one doesn't need to mine resources from one location to produce food in another. This method goes beyond sustainability however–Biointensive farming has been found to build soil up to 60 times faster than in nature! It achieves this by allotting 60% of what is grown to compost crops, focusing simultaneously on feeding people (with calories) and the soil (with carbon). And given its minuscule land requirements, a widespread shift to Biointensive methods for our food production would allow for a huge amount of agricultural land to be freed up and rewilded, the importance of which can not be overstated in the climate conversation.
In our most recent webinar we were joined by Iain Tolhurst, a pioneer of the UK organic movement. He has written extensively on farming and sustainability, including the books Growing Green: Organic Techniques for a Sustainable Future and Back to Earth: UK Organic Horticulture through the Lifetime of a Grower, which offers an account of the decades-long development of his farm with its strong emphasis on soil management. Iain Tolhurst has received numerous awards, including the 2016 Soil Farmer of the Year Award from the Farm Carbon Toolkit (incidentally, their Soil Farmer of the Year competition opens every year on World Soil Day). His methods include green manures, crop rotations, woodchip composts and integration of agroforestry to the vegetable system. He considers that the primary product of his farm is biodiversity, food production being a byproduct of that. His dedication to ecological restoration echoes that of our other speakers. These are not pie in the sky ideas of mere hobbyists but the foundation of commercially viable methods of feeding one's community.
Which leads us to one of the main sticking points: Big Ag, with its monocropping, GMOs and synthetic inputs, is sold to us on the promise that only it can produce enough food for a growing humanity. Its proponents sound the alarm of scarcity to set it up as the only solution–but it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. (1) Furthermore, peasant agriculture feeds the majority of the planet and implementing more ecological practices (as well as the changes required to make this possible, for example in trade and policy) can yield further abundance. There is no choice to be made between a well-fed humanity and a well-tended planet. The choice is between both or neither. The false solutions put forth by Big Ag are about feeding investor bottom lines, not humanity. World Soil Day should inspire us to work towards helping those who do feed humanity to remain on their land and increasingly practice regenerative methods.
To celebrate World Soil Day and help build the growing body of publicly-available resources on soil regeneration, we will devote our next webinar to digging more deeply into the soil topic. We will be joined again by Dr. Amir Kassam as well as Helen Atthowe, a long-time agroecological farmer who has delivered talks at numerous environmental and small farming conferences, and whose farm received the Steward of Sustainable Agriculture Award at the 2012 EcoFarm Conference. Her methods include keeping the ground covered, diversification of food crops and ground cover, growing a living root in the soil year-round to feed the rhizosphere, and maintaining wild habitat near crops.
The experts who have participated in our series vary in their approaches but their many similarities show that an ecological, systems-based approach to agriculture can not only halt but reverse the soil erosion we are currently seeing.
One constant that may come as a surprise is that none of these people graze cows or other ruminants, or for that matter include animal husbandry of any sort in their farming. The idea of "regenerative grazing" has been marketed so successfully that many have come to believe that cows are an indispensable part of rebuilding soil and averting climate catastrophe, but this is no more than another false solution sold to the public to line industry pockets.
Underlying the claims of regenerative grazing regarding the ecological functions of cows is the idea that healthy ecosystems require the presence of animals. This point is not in dispute, but grazing advocates then jump from this basic observation to the bizarre conclusion that humans must be the ones to add animals to ecosystems and that the animals in question must be ruminants or specifically cows. The idea of healthy ecosystems requiring animals is repeated so often that it has become more mantra than argument, its suggested implications rarely analyzed critically.
George Wuerthner, an ecologist who has written extensively about livestock grazing in the American West, points to the erasure of other animals in his response to the claim that livestock grazing is necessary to the ecological health of Point Reyes National Park: "There are plenty of native herbivores though most ranchers either ignore them or are completely ignorant of their existence. For instance, grasshoppers often consume more grass biomass than large animals like cattle. Add in all the other herbivores from soil nematodes, bacteria and worms to other herbivore insects like beetles and caterpillars, grazing birds like geese, to mammals from gophers to ground squirrels to native Tule elk and there is no shortage of native species to graze the Park's vegetation". (2)
Point Reyes National Park is the site of an ongoing conflict between cattle ranchers and the native Tule elk, where the latter are deprived of water, habitat, and potentially culled so as to protect the grazing privileges of ranchers. In the United States there are many examples of herbivores who compete with cows dying or being killed because of the prioritization of ranching interests, including wild horses, bighorn sheep, and prairie dogs. Even the bison, whose disappearance is frequently made into an argument for grazing cows (which would purportedly take on their ecological role), continue to be killed to protect ranching interests.
False solutions are predicated on false problems. Like the biotech industry using the myth of scarcity to position itself as a savior of humanity, the ranching industry paints a false picture of lands devoid of animal life so as to position graziers as saviors of the soils (and by extension, of humanity as well). And far from populating empty lands with their animals, they are often killing the animals that are already there! While soil conservation and restoration is an urgent task, it is vital that we take the time to sift through the mountain of ideas and propaganda generated by this trendy topic; to not separate the wheat from the chaff will merely result in more false solutions. Agriculture can and must be regenerative, yes. But we can't let this vision be hijacked by private interests that have already succeeded in making regeneration synonymous with livestock grazing in the minds of too many.
The experts who speak on our webinars weave a tale of abundance that is not reliant on agrochemicals, biotech or cows. Small farmers already have incredible amounts of knowledge on creating systems that are beneficial to their communities, to themselves and to the planet. For World Soil Day, we are working towards healthier soil and all that it supports by sharing that knowledge as widely as possible.
Register here for our next webinar, Agriculture and the Soil Solution.
(1) Rethinking Food and Agriculture: New Ways Forward has a chapter on the myth of food scarcity.
(2) Our webinar, Wildfires, Climate Change and the Grazing of the West with George Wuerthner, will soon be viewable on our YouTube channel.
(3) Correction: We edited the paragraph on Conservation Agriculture. The first version wrongly stated that Conservation Agriculture practices minimal tilling, when one of its principles is in fact no till (i.e. minimal soil disturbance).


Organic is one word that is thrown around too much lately, and I can understand why.
Moms are after products with ingredients that are mild, safe and gentle for our kids' delicate skin.
Did you know that the baby's skin is paper-thin, making it sensitive to just about everything it comes in contact with?
Yes, that includes the clothes they are wearing.
While the skin may get thicker in no time, it is best to use laundry detergent that is gentle enough so the clothes they wear won't irritate their sensitive skin. Here's a brand new brand in the market that promises just that—Tiny Buds.
I was able to get my Tiny Buds Laundry Powder and Fabric Softener samples about four weeks ago from #SampleRoomPH.
I'm glad that I tested the products. I used them after a week of receiving the goodies. The laundry powder and fabric conditioner combo is enough to wash up to three loads.
Here's the lowdown of our Tiny Buds use.
Pardon my use of the word 'insanely,' but I can't find any words to describe how good-looking the packaging is. Totally eye-candy! I love the overall concept; it did not deviate from Tiny Bud's organic mantra since all are natural-looking.
The coarse-textured laundry powder has a very, very mild scent. One thing I noticed while washing is the subtle scent won't last that long. After just one rinse, the scent is g-o-n-e. That's why you need to use the fabric conditioner: to prolong the scent.
Speaking of which, the smell of the fabcon is stronger but not overpowering, unlike the commercially available ones. It smells like baby powder. And, I like the smell of the fabcon better than that of the laundry powder too.
I thought that the scent would disappear in no time, like other fabcons I've tried before. But, get this, the clothes smell the same after folding and putting them in the closet for a week. That's the fabcon working overtime, which is good.
When it comes to its texture, it's more on the gelatinous side. It's very thick! I needed to mix the fabcon with the water thoroughly so it'd incorporate well before submerging my daughters' clothes.
There is nothing special with how Tiny Buds clean the clothes. One thing I observed, though, since the products are organic, is the clothes are not that 'soapy' while washing them. One to two rounds of rinsing is enough. It's one way to conserve water, right?
I've tried other natural products before, and true to all natural laundry products, they are not that bubbly. Tiny Buds' laundry powder is like that too.
Did you know that the bubblier the detergent, the more chemicals the detergent contains?
Have you tried scooping the foam buildup before? Place it on any surface. As it dries out, you will notice white residues. Yup, these are the chemical residues combined with dirt and debris on your clothes.
Will I use Tiny Buds again? Yes, but I am more lenient with buying the fabcon; the laundry detergent, not so.

Religion and the Realist Tradition
From Political Theology to International Relations Theory and Back

Religion and the Realist Tradition: From Political Theology to International Relations Theory and Back
Book Description Table of Contents Editor(s) Instructor Resources Support Material
This volume picks up a rather uninvested field of international relations theory: the influence of religion on Realism as well as the power of Realism to address religious issues in world politics. Although classical scholars of Realism rarely mention religion explicitly in their well-known work, this volume suggests that Realism offers serious ground for taking religion and faith into account as well as evaluating the impact of religion on its theoretical framework: how religion and religious worldviews influence and affect the theoretical framework of Realism, and how Realism approach religious issues in international relations as a relatively new field of international studies. Although international relations scholars now widely deal with issues of religion, large portions of the theoretical underpinning are missing. In addressing this lack, the volume illustrates the possibility of reform and change in Realism. Furthermore, the chapters reach out to normative statements. The contributors offer a theoretical view on religion in international relations in the context of Realism but always connect this with actual, real-world related political problems. The volume takes into account not only classical thinkers and approaches of Realism but also present-day authors dealing with ethical and normative questions of international relations in the aftermath of 9/11.
Offering a fresh perspective on the influence of religion on international relations theory, this work will be of great interest to scholars of religion and international relations, international relations theory, and political philosophy

Fear of cancer recurrence in adult cancer survivors: A systematic review of quantitative studies
Sébastien Simard*, Belinda Thewes, Gerry Humphris, Mélanie Dixon, Ceara Hayden, Shab Mireskandari, Gozde Ozakinci
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) - Office
Purpose: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is among the most commonly reported problems and one of the most prevalent areas of unmet needs for cancer survivors and their carers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge on FCR and to formulate recommendations for future research. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken to identify quantitative studies associated with FCR. Relevant studies were identified via Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and AMED databases from 1996 through December 2011. Data from 130 eligible papers were extracted and summarized following a systematic scheme. Results: Multiple FCR assessment methods were identified. Survivors reported low to moderate level of FCR but considered it as one of the top greatest concerns and the most frequently endorsed unmet need. FCR remains stable over the survivorship trajectory. Younger age, presence and severity of physical symptoms, psychological distress and lower quality of life were associated with higher FCR. Health behaviours, psychological reactions and functional impairments were identified as FCR consequences. Carers reported higher FCR than the patients. Limited data on interventions were available. Conclusions: FCR research has expanded somewhat haphazardly over the last 20 years. Adopted consensual definition and used well-validated measures will be necessary. Longitudinal research examining the longer-term development and impact of FCR is clearly needed. The proposal and evaluation of theoretical models of FCR is a priority. Implications for Cancer Survivors: Identifying the key features of FCR will stimulate the research and the development of targeted interventions for cancer survivors and their carers.

N2 - Purpose: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is among the most commonly reported problems and one of the most prevalent areas of unmet needs for cancer survivors and their carers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge on FCR and to formulate recommendations for future research. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken to identify quantitative studies associated with FCR. Relevant studies were identified via Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and AMED databases from 1996 through December 2011.

First Hisense Roku TVs To Go On Sale In UK At Argos This Week
By Mike Wheatley - 25 November 2019
Set top box maker Roku is teaming up with Hisense to launch its first branded 4K TVs in the U.K., and the company is looking to upend more established rivals such as LG, Samsung and Sony with its extremely competitive prices.
The Hisense Roku TV models will start at just £329 for the smallest 43-inch version when they go on sale at Argos on Black Friday, November 29. The TVs will also be available in 50-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, priced at £379, £479 and £649 respectively, the company said.
The TVs will run Roku's Smart TV operating system, providing access to more than 5,000 channels in addition to dozens of streaming apps including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and All 4.
"Starting next week, Hisense Roku TV models will be available in the UK," Roku said in a statement. "They offer a customisable home screen, thousands of streaming channels and advanced features like private listening."
Private listening is a little-talked about feature that lets the user switch between the audio emanating out of the TV or their smartphone. It's ideal for, say, parents who wish to watch the TV using their headphones when the kids have gone to bed and they need to keep the noise down.
The Hisense Roku TVs also feature WiFi connectivity, HDR and HDR 10, and come with three HDMI slots in the back. They can be controlled using the Roku app on your smartphone too, which means you can afford to lose the dedicated remote control.
Roku said the TVs will be available exclusively from Argos at launch, but the company has ambitions to sell them through additional retailers later.
Roku is already extremely big in the U.S. where around one in three TVs already have its smart TV platform baked in. In total, it says more than 32 million people worldwide use its video streaming services each month. The launch of the Hisense Roku TVs is part of a long-planned European expansion as the company looks to take on rivals such as Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV and grow this number.
Hisense has similar ambitions too. The Chinese company only came to the U.K. in 2012 but has already established itself as a player in the market for low budget TVs. Last year it accounted for 11% of all 50-inch TVs sales in the country, beating out both Sony and Panasonic.

Share this Story: The perfect paella
The perfect paella
Susan Semenak • Montreal Gazette
Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through our links on this page.
Meritxell sabaté elbows her way through the maze of fruit and vegetable stands, butcher shops and spice stalls in Barcelona's hyperactive Mercat La Boqueria.
The chef is on a mission to find the choicest shrimps, cuttlefish and mussels for her paella de marisco.
The perfect paella Back to video
"A paella is always a family feast, a cause for celebration," sabaté explains as we head out of the market, arms laden with newspaper-wrapped seafood and bags full of rice, vegetables and spices, down La rambla and through the narrow, serpentine streets of Barcelona's gothic quarter to Cook & taste, the cooking school where she will share her secrets for authentic seafood paella.
The iconic spanish rice dish cooked in a wide, shallow two-handled pan called a paellera is served in restaurants around the world. Too often, though, it's a mushy, insipid dish studded with a few chunks of chicken and a couple of shrimps.
But in spain, paella is special. Most families own several paella pans – smaller ones for weekday suppers and a gargantuan pan a metre or more in diameter for open-air family feasts on weekends. When sabaté was growing up, thursday was paella day because that was the traditional market day. the only way to make a perfect paella, she says, is to use the choicest ingredients: the freshest seafood, a well-flavoured homemade stock, good-quality extra virgin olive oil. And, of course, the right short-grain rice: bomba.
The dish has rural origins in Valencia, where the men would gather wood and build all-day fires and then sauté the meat and fish and boil the rice under just the right intensity of flame – first at a raging boil and then at the gentlest simmer.
A real paella is almost always cooked over a gas flame, which provides the most precise heat control. But the stovetop of an electric range will do, with the paella going into the oven at the end to develop a nice crust.
The preparation of paella, sabaté says, is a sensual affair. She smells the shrimps as they sizzle and knows when they are just cooked. She watches for the appearance of bubbles on the broth's surface to see if it's bubbling vigorously enough. And near the end, she listens for the sound of rice sizzling at the bottom of the hot pan – the surest sign that the paella is ready.
Back in Montreal, the man to seek out for paella pointers is Luis Leon, who calls himself Chef tigreton. he's a freelance spanish cooking teacher who specializes in paella, offering classes and paella-cooking for private events. He, too, insists that it's all in the ingredients. He buys large shrimp with the heads on for maximum taste for his seafood paella. "All the flavour is in the head," he insists. If he's using lobster, he'll opt for females, whose roe holds concentrated flavour. His stock is always homemade, "colourful and tasty." And he pays close attention to the sofrito, which is the base of every paella. It's the classic mix of chopped onion, garlic, tomato and red or green peppers sautéed in olive oil over medium heat until soft and slightly sweet.
There's no end to the variety of ingredients that go into a paella, Leon says. A seafood paella might contain shrimp, squid, cuttlefish, clams, mussels and lobster. But his hybrid paellas include cubes of pork filet, sausage, even rabbit.
Gabriel Garcia, owner of Movida, the Spanish tapas bar and restaurant on St. Laurent Blvd., says he judges a paella by its crust.An authentic paella will have boiled briskly then simmered slowly until the broth is evaporated and a thin golden-brown crust has formed at the bottom.
"It takes real skill to get that crust just right, so that the rice on top is still moist and the underside is slightly crisp but not so brown that the paella tastes bitter or burnt," he says.
There's one last secret to paella, and it's in the serving.
"You have to be among friends and good people," Leon says. "You need a big round table to set the paella pan right in the middle. Then everyone helps themselves, straight out of the pan. Right away, because paella waits for no one."
