The economic growth of a country generally depends on the kind of students who graduate from the schools in their different areas of study. This means that the level of education of the teachers really matters. For the past years, the level of education of a teacher has highly been argued, with some believing that to be the best teacher you must acquire a masters degree in education.http://www.how-todo.xyz/ReplyDelete

Fluid UX Walkthroughs are a combination of usability and accessibility reviews, conducted as [heuristic evaluations|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_evaluation] and [cognitive walkthroughs|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_walkthrough]. The goal of Fluid's walkthroughs is to identify current user "pain points" in uPortal, Sakai and Moodle and ultimately to prioritize user interface improvements to address these issues. A third kind review, similar to a [software code review|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_review], may also be performed to demonstrate compliance with code-level conventions for achieving accessibility and usability.
\[_For more information, see:_ [What is a UX Walkthrough?]\]
Fluid UX Walkthroughs are performed by reviewers with diverse areas of expertise residing at a number of different institutions. To ensure consistency of approach and results the following material has been created to guide their efforts.
The protocols and guidelines are organic and will continue to be refined as we learn from doing the hybrid inspections/evaluations.
Everyone is welcome to help out with the walkthroughs. The Fluid UX walkthroughs can be a great way to learn more about usability and accessibility while experiencing first-hand the UI issues and strengths of your application. Here is how you can get involved:

Sitting at the kitchen table on Christmas Eve at Alex and Danielle's, I noticed the sheen on the table, the papers, reflections in the wine glass, and wonderful effects of the natural lighting. I took several pictures, and upon reviewing them back home I liked this wide, black and white perspective. The dark contrast edges framing the softer background in the center and clean reflections in the wine glass stem, base, and cells phone glass, all floating on the softness of the table surface.

Owner and CEO, Italpollina
Term: November 2018-November 2020
On 12 November 2018, the European Biostimulants Industry Council (EBIC) elected a new President Luca Bonini, CEO and owner of Italpollina, a founding member of EBIC. Italpollina is involved in the production and sale of different kind of biostimulants, giving Luca a broad view of the sector. His company is active well beyond its native Italy, with an export rate well over 50%, giving Luca personal knowledge of different markets in Europe.
In 2014-2015, Luca Bonini was the elected President of ECOFI (European Consortium of Organic-based Fertilizers Industry), where he followed the evolution of the new fertilising products regulation closely and further developed his leadership skills as the head of a European association. He speaks four languages, which can help to interact with companies all around Europe.
Speaking to the EBIC membership in his inaugural presidential speech, Mr Bonini said he was honoured to take on the senior role at such a well-respected association and thanked his predecessor Mr Natale for his enthusiasm, vision, and tireless efforts as the founding president for the association's first seven years. He also congratulated EBIC's members for their contribution to the association's success, explaining that the membership had "taken on a truly European profile" by putting consensus at the heart of EBIC's work. Going forward, Mr Bonini identified two key focus areas for his upcoming presidential term: future technology and education. "The future is already here", he explained, adding that education about the biostimulant industry and other new technologies is more important than ever for farmers and consumers alike.

Feed Dump: The Black Santa Xmas Special
Merry Christmas! We got you an extra long Feed Dump. With a side of stupidity.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope no one got Elf crap in their stocking!
Okay, that was a good one, hope you're havin fun today!
You record this on Monday? Everything I knew was a lie!
By the time those bananas get to shore, they'd probably make good fertiliser. Question is whether Del Monte can sell them as that.
Nobody ever wants white socks. Besides maybe tennis players.
How are those trolls scary when they're essentially one thirteenth of a racoon each?
So I guess everyone got their wish of putting a headcrab on Graham's lovely head. I know I did.
For more coverage of the Yule Lads I can't help but recommend watching these...
Seriously, watch them.
And elves!
But seriously, that is a very racist thing to say. Just think about how all those white socks feel.
You monster!
Did I say seriously? I meant "I believe in elves!"
Is it just me or does Kathleen look very pale? Otherwise: excellent episode and merry x-mas to y'all!
Actually, Santa is Saint Nicholas.
His big red floppy hat is actually a fez that has gone soft due to age or something...
Also, other fun fact, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is actually kinda confused.
It sounds like Feed Dump got crossed with Extra Credits for a bit there.
Also, in one shot I could hear the birds outside; I remember them from Desert Bus. Are they wintering in your parking lot?
LRR, proving once again they are the hardest working entertainers on the internet, "No show on Christmas? NO WAY!"
I think If I was the family who had the black Santa and got that letter I'd step up my trolling with a black Jesus.
It's Victoria BC Friend. One of those coastal places where the temperature never gets below 50F (10C).
For some reason the elf Graham and Kathleen just really got me laughing harder than I have in a long time. I'm hoping for a regular feature.
St. Nicolas is real and he is Turkish. Yep, middle-eastern decent.
Off-topic: Also, Coal is not a bad gift, it keeps you warm on the cold winter nights. It was meant to show Christs love for all people. (though there is another strain about NOT judging people, but that is a discussion for later)
EDIT: I forgot to add, when I was growing up I was told that Jesus was Jewish, and my mothers maiden name is Mayo. The Mayo's came to Kansas trying to get the state to join the South (ironically, the Collins and Hardin families came as Abolitionist in favor of the North). My mother told me to never be racist, because it is very possible that I am part black, as slave owners did have sex with slaves.
I also believe in the story of Genesis. Adam and Eve were the parents of the human race (rather literally or not, is up for debate, but not the point). If I treat someone badly because of their race, I am treating my brother or sister badly.
Jesus of Nazareth was of the tribe of Judea and a decedent of King David, He was born in Bethlehem. In other words Jesus would have been of Middle-Eastern decent as well.
No, do a Middle-Eastern Jesus. Be both a troll, and historically accurate.
Usually find Feed Dump to be very entertaining, but as an Icelander this one kinda got borderline offensive at times. Would you outright disregard other peoples faiths, traditions and beliefs as outright fake and stupid out of hand? I dont beleive in fey but most of my family and relatives do. Also they arent the Santas workshop kind of elfs... Think fairies, as in magical protectors of the land and less making toys.
Graham's face looks so big with his short hair.
Those elves are adorable...
Okay, bring in the steamroller. Technically they aren't people, so you don't need to stop if they get in the way.
Holy crap! For a second there, I thought Ash's earrings were the Skyrim insignia! I was about to go on a tear to find those, haha.
This ep was hilarious, I would swear the stories were straight out of the Onion, if Feed Dump weren't already established as the second most reliable source of news for me (the first being the Daily Show/Colbert Report).
Sorry to offend. I think the issue is a translation one. In english, the word "elf" usually means a small creature with green booties that helps Santa, thus our confusion.
Short answer ...
Long answer...
If i could make it funny as hell, yes.
If you were forced to marry one of those people and the decision was made by spinning a wheel at no point on that wheel would you lose. Whomever you had to marry might lose. But you wouldn't.
Oh come on.
The Dutch! Again!
Yes... I am one of those...
Well don't feel too bad. They spent the other half of the feed dump making fun of the race of our imaginary elf that not only can travel the speed of light but is also clairvoyant..
Ok, I admit I also associated the story about Icelandic faeries in a Christmas special with Santa Claus.
(Captcha - describe "IHG InterContinental Hotels Group" banner.)(answer - they sell beer!)
Technically the original santa was from Turkey and it was a local, meaning most likely pretty much in-between black and white.
Unless they mean the scandinavian santa, which is actually evil and noone actually celebrates him besode few locals, in which case yes, he is white.
Also YU-Lads are quie traditional there and very much as popular as regular Christmas crap in US.
Well, the problem here is that the image of Jesus used by the churches is based off of a painting known as "The Mandylion" (look it up) the only real image of Jesus known to have been made during his lifetime by someone who met him, or at least that can be confirmed. The background behind it is that a king sent a messenger to Jesus to ask him to come to his kingdom to perform healings, Jesus said he couldn't do it, but did send one of his disciples who performed the healings. The messenger was so enchanted by his meeting with Jesus that he painted a picture of him. This is something that is reinforced by records apparently, and to date no image of Jesus has ever been shown to be more valid than the one from "The Mandylion" and indeed it's believed many later images were in turn based off of it.
Thus all of the stuff about how Jesus should have darker skin, orthodox jewish hair, etc... is pretty much dispelled since whether he was arab or not (and nobody really tries to say he was a European barbarian, "whites" did not have much of a civilization at that time and were mostly barbarians or slaves) is more or less irrelevant the guy did have a very fair skin tone, was not black or dusky by any means, nor did he apparently adopt anything remotely similar to an orthodox method of dress and grooming.
As a fun fact for those who are fans of the band "Nightwish" their song "The End Of All Hope" is pretty much about the death of jesus and/or losing faith. The whole thing about "the death of a child, the death of all hope" and "mandylion without a face" is referencing this because after all if Jesus had died as a baby or never existed there would never have been anyone depicted in the Mandylion, thus no image of Jesus meaning no crucifixes, etc...
The point here being that while it's rather popular for atheisits and agnostics in particular to want to go off on saying "why can't you show Jesus as black, or with other ethnic features" argueing for some kind historical precedent or, "well he didn't exist anyway, so who cares", they kind of miss the point, the current image did not appear because whites created Jesus in their own image, but because fair skin is how he was depicted in the only verifiable source... and really the churches, Catholics in particular, tend to really dig into anything claiming to be a historical or religious artifact involving Jesus in particular, and The Mandylion and the basic image (updated to other art styles over the years) is one of the few things pretty much everyone can agree on... and when you consider the bad blood between Christian sects that is actually saying quite a bit.
As far as "Santa Claus" goes, that becomes a touchier subject, as he is based off of a number of sources, myths, and legends. "Saint Nick" is one of the things that definatly contributed to it, but again while not European he was VERY light skinned according to most of the vintage artwork in most of the images (as many Arabs are, a lot can pass as "white" easily without needing to make much of an effort). What's more Santa Claus is also based on a lot of other images largely coming from Norway, Sweden, and Germany not to mention Celtic input hence the use of "Klaus/Claus" and various dolls and such you have probably seen of him as "father winter" in stores showing a fairly pagan image of him looking like he could be a D&D druid. This is because Christianity wound up taking heavily from a lot of other religions, especially early on, when it was in the midst of trying to be diplomatic about conversions. It's been argued that "Christmas" arguably started as a pagan festival called "Saturnalia" with similar traditions.
The point here is that there is not one bit of inspiration for having a dark black Santa Klaus, that's largely PC BS, and there is really nothing from the traditions of black peoples that influenced it and it's evolution. To be honest portraying Santa as a monster by modern standards has more precedence since some parts of it can be loosely connected to stories about gods like Odin, who allegedly travelled the lands disguised as vagabonds, demanding guest rights as a traveler, and would do good or bad things depending on whether this duty was fulfilled and to what extent. Hence why so many cultures have some variation on leaving a snack for Santa because he's coming into your house (even if your asleep) to do something nice for you, and it's rude for you to be a poor host since you are after all expecting him. Fairly recently the fantasy Author "Jim Butcher" did a thing in his Dresden novels where Odin was Santa in another guise in a very literal sense to be cute (and because it fit his plot and developing world structure, as an *ahem* "Jolly Old Elf" in a way as well it also gave him ties to the Faerie courts... and well, Jim Butcher gets kind of crazy).
For anyone who bothered to read this far, my opinions are kind of mixed. I do not consider it racist when you insist on a long established character being presented as they are, as opposed to being changed for a political statement. It's in the same category as me being kind of miffed that they made Heimdall black in the "Thor" movie, since there is no precedence in either the comics or mythology for that, it's simply a PC gesture, and kind of silly mythologically speaking. When it comes to things like Christmas, a lot of it is about tradition as much as anything, and like it or not Santa and his image has been part of this tradition longer than we have been alive, he is what he is, and should be left alone, you either accept Santa as he is, or should just reject the entire thing. Once you start modifying traditions to the politically correct needs of the moment, they cease to be traditions.
I'll also be blunt in saying that on a larger scale it seems to me that "ethnicity changing" of established characters and such does an injustice to the groups it's supposed to be empowering. When you say take an established character and change their ethnicity it's kind of pandering compared to taking a character of that ethnicity to begin with and giving it the attention to become popular on it's own, or to work on creating new IPs. In Marvel for example I feel that instead of say making Heimdall black, they probably should have simply put more attention into inserting existing black characters into the movies (like they are apparently using Falcon, the version with the battle suit he got at the beginning of Civil War in the new Captain America). If they want black "gods" they should perhaps do something with the Voodoo pantheon and spirits of Wakanda when they move on to doing movies dealing with those elements. I mean after all "Brother Voodoo" has been around for a long time and was even once a contender for the title of "Sorceror Supreme" when it was up for grabs, and he draws a lot of his power from the Loa and stuff apparently as opposed to the Vishanti or the Asgardian form of sorcery (of which Karnilla has generally been the Sorceress Supreme... a fun fact, since it means neither Odin, Loki, or The Enchantress are the most powerful straight spellcaster from that realm). In short laziness does nobody any real justice.
That said, I don't see any real reason to be a jerk if someone decides to put up a giant, inflatable, Black Santa on their private property. I do happen to wonder if there is more to that story than we're hearing. I know some neighborhoods have rules, enforced by local government, about what people can display on their property. Those rules can include specific guidelines on what your allowed to do on holidays, and outright ban things like political signs or displays. Something like "Black Santa" is very much a political display when you get down to it, and is certainly not traditional if something being traditional is specified. The typical idea of such laws though is to prevent people from causing trouble or attracting the wrong kind of attention to the neighborhood. I typically hear more about such conflicts around Halloween where you have people wanting to do things like create backlit cardboard silhouettes in their windows showing what appears to be a stabbing once in a while at night, or someone hanging stuffed clothing from trees to look like a bunch of people were hooded and executed outside the house, or whatever else. That said as much as some people might argue "common sense" if you don't enforce everything, as soon as one guy gets away with "non traditional santa" it creates a president some dude can use to prevent a window shadow display that has the police being called to the street once a week (it's happened) come Halloween. The law has to apply to everyone or no one. I haven't seen the specific note, but it might have also been intended as a friendly warning before say a neighborhood committee took action which might very well lead to someone being banned from any kind of yard decorations, or being made to pay a
Not a lot of time, this is old, and I have a few messages in my inbox which hopefully won't be too ancient before I can find time to get around to them with a proper response.
Funny Feed Dump, but the point is I think even allowing for the humor, the points behind it are perhaps a little misguided.
Thank you for posting this. I would have been very upset if no one did.

MOBILE, Ala. - The Roman Catholic church has released the names of 29 priests, deacons and other men "credibly accused" of sexual misconduct in south Alabama dating back to 1950.
Statements released Thursday along with a letter from Archbishop Thomas Rodi Jr. show 17 of the men are dead, and 12 others are prohibited from ministry.
The names on the lists include those of priests, deacons and members of religious orders. Rodi's letter says the names have been shared with state and local prosecutors.
The names include those of a one-time Air Force chaplain; a former director of youth ministry; men who worked at Catholic schools; and one who worked at a boys home.
The archdiocese office in Mobile released the names as the Catholic grapples with allegations of sexual abuse.

When Condé Nast moved its headquarters from Madison Avenue to 42nd Street in 1999, it brought instant credibility to the Times Square office market. Now, only eight years later, Condé Nast is again making plans to relocate its headquarters to another untested area for big-name Manhattan office tenants.
Condé Nast intends to move out of its home at 4 Times Square and into an entirely new tower in Hudson Yards on the far West Side by 2015, developer Douglas Durst told The Observer this week. The new tower, as sketched out as part of a proposal by the Durst Organization and Vornado Realty Trust for the Hudson Yards development site, would be exclusively for Condé Nast and would be built to 1.5 million square feet.
Mr. Durst, the developer of 4 Times Square, said that Condé Nast would consolidate its offices in the new tower and would move out of the roughly 700,000 square feet it currently occupies in 4 Times Square. The Condé Nast lease there ends in 2018, but Mr. Durst said a deal would be negotiated to let the publisher break the lease by 2015.
This is all under the condition—and this is a significant condition—that the Durst Organization and Vornado win the bid to develop the 26-acre Hudson Yards site. Bids are due Thursday to the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the yards' owner; other companies preparing proposals include The Related Companies, Brookfield Properties and Tishman Speyer. Women's Wear Daily first reported that Condé Nast wanted to build a tower on Hudson Yards. The New York Times reported on Monday that rival developer Tishman Speyer has secured Morgan Stanley as a potential anchor tenant for a new tower in their proposal.
Mr. Durst said that having Condé Nast already as its anchor tenant can only help the position of its bid with Vornado.
"We think it's a tremendous advantage," he said. "We are very excited about it. We hope it'll help our bid. We think the team we put together has put us in an excellent position."
A call to a Condé Nast spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

Fishing in Fiji
Fiji fishing charters are the perfect opportunity to dabble in a little world class game fishing, even if you're casting lines for the very first time. Here you can expect clement weather, a year-round supply of tropical game fish, and some local hospitality on board virtually every charter boat.
These waters are home to some of the largest game fish in the world, including record-breaking Sailfish, Wahoo, Giant Trevally, and Dogtooth Tuna. With deep, blue waters just moments away, you don't have to spend all day traveling before landing your next trophy catch. From epic beasts like Marlin and Tuna to some of the islands' more unusual catches such as Rainbow Runner, a little sportfishing goes a long way around here.
When to Fish in Fiji
You're likely to encounter stellar angling opportunities in Fiji no matter the time of year. The wet season lasts from November through April (Fiji's summer months) and you can expect plenty of rainfall during this time. Winter (June-August) marks Fiji's dry season, as well as the peak season for many big game fish. If you're headed here specifically for the fishing, this is likely the best time to try your luck.
Of course, your chances of landing a memorable catch here have little to do with luck! You're bound to hook into something, whether you choose to cast your line in a sheltered lagoon, the edge of a reef, or a few miles beyond into the deep ocean canyons.
Marlin (known locally as Sakuvorowaqa), Tuna (Yatu), Barracuda (Ogo), Giant Trevally (Saqa), and Mahi Mahi (Ika Narokaveisau) almost always swim through these islands as they migrate across the Pacific Ocean and back again. They're accompanied by Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel (Walu), Pacific Sailfish (Sakulaca), and Short Billed Spearfish during most months. Of these, Spanish Mackerel is one of the most sought-after prizes, not only for its game quality but as the essential ingredient in Fiji's traditional raw fish delicacy, kokoda.
Though their season is relatively brief, Wahoo are also among the most popular catch in these waters, peaking from June to August. Hordes of Yellowfin Tuna grace the local waters from November to March, and then again between May and August as they return from their migration. Depending on the time of year, it's not uncommon to hook into Dogtooth, Skipjack, Bigeye, and Kawakawa Tuna while fishing for Yellowfin.
Within the reefs and lagoons, various Trevally species, Snapper, Coral Trout, Rainbow Runner, and much more make for a quick but fun family outing. Here, you can expect the water to be calm, even when the seas beyond are too choppy during the wet season.
Where to Start
Located at the heart of the south Pacific, Fiji consists of 332 islands. You'll find charter boats for hire scattered around several of these, with the majority to be found on the main island Viti Levu. Many charter boats depart from the Coral Coast stretching along the island's southwestern border from Suva to Sigatoka. Port Denarau Marina is a popular departure point for Fiji fishing charters, and some provide pick and drop-off service here even if they're based on another part of the island.
Fiji Fishing Techniques
Trolling is the primary method you can expect to use while fishing in Fiji, since this will entice a bite from a variety of species. Locals troll live bait, dead bait, and lures to catch Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Spanish Mackerel.
When it comes to targeting the coveted Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, there's nothing more effective than a locally crafted Houng Lee rig—a specialty named after its inventor. This rig consists of a short trace attached to the lead and two short hooks. A local bait fish known as salala is attached to the hook and trolled at a speed similar to how fast it would swim naturally. The speed depends on the size of the baitfish, and the result is so convincing that many anglers are fooled at first!
Yet another local specialty you may see is the viavia lure, fashioned from a plant with a silvery texture much like an onion. The plant is rolled around the hook and trace, then cut into the desired shape (either kona head or bullet-nosed). Local anglers troll manufactured lures far more often these days, but you may still find some relying on this old trick of the trade, which can catch Mahi Mahi and a large variety of other game fish in Fiji.
In addition to trolling, you might bottom fish for Snapper or handline fish for Bream, Trevally, and other species near reefs. Popping is the method of choice when it comes to landing Giant Trevally. You can catch all local Trevally species while casting from shore or a boat.
Need to Know
Local fishing charters typically include fishing licenses, gear, bait, and other essentials. While it's possible to catch big game fish on trips as short as four to five hours, a full day trip is recommended to maximize your fishing time—and your chances of landing a real trophy. Depending on where you set sail, the fishing grounds could be several hours away. Overnight charters and multi-day excursions to various islands are a popular choice for avid anglers looking to make the most of these waters.
Despite Fiji's mild climate, the islands do experience occasional cyclones between November and April, with most of them passing through in the early months of the year. These storms are rarely fatal, but can put a damper on fishing trips. With so many fishing grounds to choose from, chances are you'll experience these waters to the fullest no matter the weather!
Fiji Fishing Seasons
Fiji Fishing Seasons
It's summer in Fiji! Average temperatures are at their height, hovering around a balmy 79°F. You can experience great fishing, just keep an eye on the horizon for rainfall and the occasional cyclone.
Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and Blue Marlin are all at their peak in February. If the weather allows, this can be a great time to head to the edge of the reefs or offshore for bigger fish.
This is the best time to fish for Mahi Mahi, whether you're casting the legendary viavia lure or anything else in your arsenal. You're likely to hook into plenty of other trophies while you're at it.
April marks the end of Fiji's wet season, so you can expect smooth sailing from here on out. Giant Trevally, Marlin, Tuna, and more are still cruising around the islands.
Fiji's summer mix of game fish may not be biting as vigorously at the start of the dry season, but the action is about to pick up again with the arrival of a whole new crew.
Winter is in full swing, which means Wahoo, Sailfish, and a second round of Yellowfin Tuna! As usual, you can enjoy excellent fishing for GT, Barracuda, Spearfish, and more.
July marks the start of Striped Marlin's peak season. The local record for this fish is almost 300 lbs. If you think you have a chance at beating it, now is the time to give it a go!
Black Marlin and Spearfish are at their peak, adding to the excitement of Fiji's winter season. With average temperatures gently falling to 73°F, you can expect some of the coolest weather of the year.
Billfish madness continues, with excellent chances at landing Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Pacific Sailfish. You're also likely to catch Blue Marlin and Short Billed Spearfish at any time!
Spanish Mackerel enter their peak season in October, as dry season comes to a close. Come out for a little trolling and bring back some fish for fresh kokoda.
As summer kicks in, Mahi Mahi and Blue Marlin are back in full force. Spanish Mackerel are still at their peak, while you can expect excellent fishing for Barracuda and Trevally.
Fiji's wet season is well underway, so be sure to plan your fishing trip accordingly. Barracuda are at their peak and will provide excellent fighting action. But be cautious—these ones are known to get feisty!

Former Nepal rebel combatants threaten revolt over integration
Nepal's former Maoist rebel combatants have issued veiled threats against political parties over growing opposition to their integration into the national army, a media report said Tuesday, dpa reported.
Rebel commanders said they were meeting in western Nepal to discuss how to respond to political opposition to the large-scale inclusion of combatants in the country's security forces, Kantipur newspaper said.
"The discussions have focused on whether to accept the decision by the political leadership or opt for another revolt," Kantipur newspaper quoted an unnamed Maoist commander as saying.
However, there were considerable differences of opinion among the commanders of various Maoist combat divisions over what their future move should be, the newspaper said.
"The issue was sparked off after three top former Maoist guerrilla leaders met last month to discuss growing opposition to integration of former rebels into the national army," the newspaper quoted the commander as saying.
Mahendra Bahadur Shahi, the head of the seventh Maoist division based in western Nepal, who is considered a hardliner, even threatened to start an armed revolt if politicians can't agree on the integration of the former rebels, the newspaper said.
On Monday, a senior minister in the Maoist-led coalition government said large-scale integration would be unacceptable to his party.
Foreign Minister Upendra Yadav, who represents the influential ethnic Madhesi People's Right Forum, said if the former rebel fighters wanted to join the army, they must do so individually and meet the set criteria for selection.
However, Maoist combatant leaders have rejected integration based on individual qualification.
On Saturday, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said integration of the former rebel combatants was the biggest challenge for Nepal's peace process.
Of the originally 31,000 Maoist combatants in 28 UN supervised camps across Nepal, only 19,000 passed the rigid verification by United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) that qualified them for integration.
The Maoists waged a decade-long insurgency to convert Nepal into a communist republic.
What was initially a band of few hundred Maoists armed with home-made weapons in 1996 became a feared fighting force of several thousands within a few years, attacking army and police forces across the country.
Nearly 14,000 people died in the insurgency which formally ended after a mass movement toppled then-king Gyanednra's government in early 2006.
The Maoists emerged as the biggest party in the elections for a constituent assembly in April 2008, enabling them to form a coalition government a few months later.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany says the European Union and China have agreed to postpone a summit planned for Sept. 14 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke Wednesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping and later with European Council President Charles Michel.
In a statement, Merkel's office said the three sides agreed that "the meeting can't take place at the envisaged time due to the overall pandemic situation." They also agreed to hold it at a later date.
The summit, to be held in the German city of Leipzig, was seen as a key moment in EU relations with China.

Mild weather last month made buying winter clothing a low priority for U.S. shoppers, which
restrained retail sales growth, a report showed.
Relative flat gasoline prices until late October also reined in sales growth in dollar terms, said SpendingPulse, the retail data service of MasterCard Advisors, an arm of MasterCard Worldwide.
These two factors caused U.S. retail sales, excluding cars, to rise by only 0.2 percent last month, the weakest rate of growth in three months. The increase was sharply below
September's robust 0.6 percent rise, which was the biggest monthly gain this year, according to SpendingPulse.
"We are still growing but at a slower pace," said Michael McNamara, SpendingPulse's vice president of research and analysis. "Apparel did not help overall sales because of the
mild weather."
The government will release its survey on October retail sales on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters predicted that overall sales likely rose 0.2 percent in October from September
and ex-auto sales likely grew 0.3 percent.
A significant slowdown in consumer spending before the year-end holiday season, a crucial period for the retail industry, will likely worry investors and the Federal Reserve. Both have been monitoring the housing slump and the credit squeeze and their effect on consumers, economists say.
If the consumer sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy, shows signs of faltering, Fed policy-makers will be pressured to ease interest rates further to prevent a broad economic slowdown.
The recent surge in gasoline prices, with crude reaching nearly $100 a barrel, should inflate overall retail sales in dollar terms in November. according to SpendingPulse.
But the spike in gasoline prices, as well as escalating heating oil costs, would cut energy sales in the coming months, SpendingPulse's McNamara said. "Higher gasoline prices are going to help the overall number, but we are going to pump less," he said.
Seasonally adjusted sales without autos or gasoline rose 0.3 percent, rebounding from a 0.1 percent dip in September.
The daily rate on gasoline consumption is down almost 8 percent from the summer peak, according to SpendingPulse.
The firm's measure of "core" consumer spending, which excludes cars, gasoline and building materials, advanced 0.4 percent, doubling September's 0.2 percent rise.
The SpendingPulse data is derived from the aggregate sales in the MasterCard U.S. payment network, together with estimates on all other payment forms, including cash and checks.

What is a redraw fee?
Redraw fees are charged by your lender when you want to take money you have already paid into your mortgage back out. Typically, banks will only allow you to take money out of your loan if you have a redraw facility attached to your loan, and the money you are taking out is part of any additional repayments you've made. The average redraw fee is around $19 however there are plenty of lenders who include a number of fee-free redraws a year. Tip: Negative-gearers beware – any money redrawn is often treated as new borrowing for tax purposes, so there may be limits on how you can use it if you want to maximise your tax deduction.
What is a draw down?
The transfer of money from a lending institution to a borrower. In a typical home loan, the funds are drawn down all at once in order to buy the property. In a construction loan, the money is drawn down in several stages to pay the builders as they progress through each phase of the project. In a line of credit loan, you can draw down money up to a limit based on your loan's available equity.
Mortgage Calculator, Repayments
The money you pay back to your lender at regular intervals.
Will I be paying two mortgages at once when I refinance?
No, given the way the loan and title transfer works, you will not have to pay two mortgages at the one time. You will make your last monthly repayment on loan number one and then the following month you will start paying off loan number two.
Does Australia have no cost refinancing?
No Cost Refinancing is an option available in the US where the lender or broker covers your switching costs, such as appraisal fees and settlement costs. Unfortunately, no cost refinancing isn't available in Australia.
Can I change jobs while I am applying for a home loan?
Whether you're a new borrower or you're refinancing your home loan, many lenders require you to be in a permanent job with the same employer for at least 6 months before applying for a home loan. Different lenders have different requirements.
If your work situation changes for any reason while you're applying for a mortgage, this could reduce your chances of successfully completing the process. Contacting the lender as soon as you know your employment situation is changing may allow you to work something out.
Can I get a home loan if I am on an employment contract?
Some lenders will allow you to apply for a mortgage if you are a contractor or freelancer. However, many lenders prefer you to be in a permanent, ongoing role, because a more stable income means you're more likely to keep up with your repayments.
If you're a contractor, freelancer, or are otherwise self-employed, it may still be possible to apply for a low-doc home loan, as these mortgages require less specific proof of income.
Will I have to pay lenders' mortgage insurance twice if I refinance?
If your deposit was less than 20 per cent of your property's value when you took out your original loan, you may have paid lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI) to cover the lender against the risk that you may default on your repayments.
If you refinance to a new home loan, but still don't have enough deposit and/or equity to provide 20 per cent security, you'll need to pay for the lender's LMI a second time. This could potentially add thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs to your mortgage, so it's important to consider whether the financial benefits of refinancing may be worth these costs.
Is there a limit to how many times I can refinance?
There is no set limit to how many times you are allowed to refinance. Some surveyed RateCity users have refinanced up to three times.
However, if you refinance several times in short succession, it could affect your credit score. Lenders assess your credit score when you apply for new loans, so if you end up with bad credit, you may not be able to refinance if and when you really need to.
Before refinancing multiple times, consider getting a copy of your credit report and ensure your credit history is in good shape for future refinances.
I have a poor credit rating. Am I still able to get a mortgage?
Some lenders still allow you to apply for a home loan if you have impaired credit. However, you may pay a slightly higher interest rate and/or higher fees. This is to help offset the higher risk that you may default on your repayments.
I can't pick a loan. Should I apply to multiple lenders?
Applying for home loans with multiple lenders at once can affect your credit history, as multiple loan applications in short succession can make you look like a risky borrower. Comparing home loans from different lenders, assessing their features and benefits, and making one application to a preferred lender may help to improve your chances of success
If I don't like my new lender after I refinance, can I go back to my previous lender?
If you wish to return to your previous lender after refinancing, you will have to go through the refinancing process again and pay a second set of discharge and upfront fees.
Therefore, before you refinance, it's important to weigh up the new prospective lender against your current lender in a number of areas, including fees, flexibility, customer service and interest rate.
Can I refinance if I have other products bundled with my home loan?
If your home loan was part of a package deal that included access to credit cards, transaction accounts or term deposits from the same lender, switching all of these over to a new lender can seem daunting. However, some lenders offer to manage part of this process for you as an incentive to refinance with them – contact your lender to learn more about what they offer.
How often is your data updated?
We work closely with lenders to get updates as quick as possible, with updates made the same day wherever possible.
How can I get a home loan with no deposit?
Following the Global Financial Crisis, no-deposit loans, as they once used to be known, have largely been removed from the market. Now, if you wish to enter the market with no deposit, you will require a property of your own to secure a loan against or the assistance of a guarantor.
Remaining loan term
The length of time it will take to pay off your current home loan, based on the currently-entered mortgage balance, monthly repayment and interest rate.
Do other comparison sites offer the same service?
Real Time RatingsTM is the only online system that ranks the home loan market based on your personal borrowing preferences. Until now, home loans have been rated based on outdated data. Our system is unique because it reacts to changes as soon as we update our database.
How does Real Time Ratings work?
Real Time RatingsTM looks at your individual home loan requirements and uses this information to rank every applicable home loan in our database out of five.
This score is based on two main factors – cost and flexibility.
Cost is calculated by looking at the interest rates and fees over the first five years of the loan.
Flexibility is based on whether a loan offers features such as an offset account, redraw facility and extra repayments.
Real Time RatingsTM also includes the following assumptions:
- Costs are calculated on the current variable rate however they could change in the future.
- Loans are assumed to be principal and interest
- Fixed-rate loans with terms greater than five years are still assessed on a five-year basis, so 10-year fixed loans are assessed as being only five years' long.
- Break costs are not included.
Why was Real Time Ratings developed?
Real Time RatingsTM was developed to save people time and money. A home loan is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make – and one of the most complicated. Real Time RatingsTM is designed to help you find the right loan. Until now, there has been no place borrowers can benchmark the latest rates and offers when they hit the market. Rates change all the time now and new offers hit the market almost daily, we saw the need for a way to compare these new deals against the rest of the market and make a more informed decision.
What is a debt service ratio?
A method of gauging a borrower's home loan serviceability (ability to afford home loan repayments), the debt service ratio (DSR) is the fraction of an applicant's income that will need to go towards paying back a loan. The DSR is typically expressed as a percentage, and lenders may decline loans to borrowers with too high a DSR (often over 30 per cent).

Don't know for sure where to put this, but I have found many uses for paperclips in knitting and crocheting. In crochet, if you need a quick release, but "stay on there" stitch marker, bend the inside end of the paper clip towards the center, and then use the center loop to push through your front loop of the work, removal is just a twist away. For knitting, not only do they make great needle stitch markers, but they also help to keep that tail that you started with out of the way until you need it. Just wrap yarn tightly around the paperclip, then tuck the end between the two loops on the paperclip. For following patterns, use the paperclip on the edge of the paper, and just slip it up as you go. There are probably hundreds more uses, but those are what I have discovered by having a ton of paperclips and no office anymore.
I also use paperclips instead of cable needles, and as stitch markers when I have to make a correction on a row.
Yep, they make great removeable stitch markers - been using them for years.
Thanks for the inventive uses for paperclips. I love the one for tucking in the tail end between the loops of the clip.
I've used the clips from time to time. My most used item though is the safety pin. I especially like the coiless pins. They are great to mark inc's & dec's with and to mark between first and last sts when working in the round.

text: 'Gomorrah' to Give BSkyB First Taste of Sky Europe 5:46 AM PDT 8/1/2014 by Scott Roxborough FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The small-screen take on Matteo Garrone's 2008 Golden Globe-nominated feature, based on Roberto Saviano's expose of the Camorra mafia. This grimy, real-life Godfather goes out on Sky Italia later this year. The Weinstein Company are already developing an English-language version with Italian producers Cattleya. Sales: Beta Film The Italian mafia series, a huge hit for Sky Italia, premieres in the U.K. on Monday in a possible test run for future shows that could air across the enlarged "Sky Europe" following a deal with Fox. Less than a month after BSkyB sealed a $9.1 billion deal with 21st Century Fox to take over Italian pay TV group Sky Italia and Germany's Sky Deutschland, the British pay TV giant will get its first real look at what a pan-European satellite operator looks like. On Monday, BSkyB will premiere Gomorrah, Sky Italia's inspired-by-real-life mafia drama. The series also debuts on Sky Deutschland in October. PHOTOS Meet 12 of Emmy's First-Time Acting Nominees Achieving the scale to produce high-end, HBO-style drama in-house that can be rolled out across Europe was one of the incentives behind the BSkyB-Fox deal. Gomorrah will put it to the test, seeing if gritty Euro-made series of this sort can translate. Gomorrah has been a huge hit for Sky Italia, debuting to the best-ever figures for a series on the pay channel, beating out such HBO hits as Game of Thrones on Sky Italia's Sky Atlantic/Sky Cinema channel. Official figures have around a million viewers watching the finale of the first 12-episode season earlier this year. Unofficial numbers, which would include pirated viewing, likely are much higher. Based on the best-selling factual novel of the same name by Italian journalist and author Roberto Saviano, Gomorrah is a look inside the brutal Comorra mafia, the organized crime family that controls the Italian city of Naples and has illegal businesses stretching across the world. PHOTOS Titans of Comic-Con: Stars Re-Create Classic Characters The first season sets the stage for a classic battle-for-power struggle. Ciro, played by Marco d'Amore, the right-hand man of Camorra godfather Pietro Savastano (Fortunato Cerlino), sees his chance to claim the crown when the godfather is sent to prison. Standing in his way is the godfather's wife, Imma (Maria Pia Calzone), and his son Genny (Salvatore Esposito). At the same time, a rival clan, run by Salvatore Conte (Marco Palvetti), sees the civil war as an opportunity to wipe out his enemies. Speaking to THR, Saviano said he wanted the series to go beyond Hollywood portrayals of the mafia to examine "the mechanism of the crime society. Gomorrah isn't just a mafia epic, it's a story of how the mechanism of organized crime works: how you buy votes, how you take over a neighborhood … I hope when someone watches Gomorrah, they might realize, maybe for the first time, that this is really happening in Europe. To say: This is how power works in the real world." The bid for authenticity led the producers — Sky Cinema, Italian shingles Cattleya, Fandango and La 7 and Germany's Beta Film — to shoot on location in Naples and entirely in the thick Neapolitan dialect. Rare for a European series, there are no sympathetic characters. Everyone in Gomorrah is part of the mafia game and all are implicated in the horrors that unfold. "We did not want to create characters you could empathize with," Saviano said. "There is a fascination with the mafia world; I am a trying to act against that, not by glorifying it but by deconstructing it." PHOTOS THR's Comedy Actress Roundtable With Taylor Schilling, Zooey Deschanel, Mindy Kaling Saviano cites U.S. series such as Breaking Bad and The Sopranos as models for the approach on Gomorrah of "showing ordinary life through another lens, the lens of power." The success of Gomorrah's BSkyB debut will be the first indication of whether the show can replicate the success of its U.S. counterparts. Beta has sold Gomorrah worldwide to some 60 territories, with big European broadcasters including France's Canal Plus, Spain's Sexta and French/German public broadcaster Arte all snatching up the series. HBO has acquired rights in Scandinavia and Latin America with The Weinstein Co. taking U.S. rights. Developing local productions with similar global potential may become a lot easier under the new enlarged company, which some have dubbed "Sky Europe," bringing Sky's British, German and Italian production and development teams under one roof. Ahead of the Sky Europe deal, the three companies — BSkyB, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland — greenlighted their first-ever three-way co-production: an adaptation of the hit Italian comic book series Diabolik. Sky currently is developing Diabolik, about a master thief who steals from other criminals, as a 10-episode live-action series. BSkyB already has stepped up when it comes to original programming, pledging to invest some $1 billion (£600 million) in homegrown British shows, with series commissions such as French-U.K. crime drama The Tunnel starring Stephen Dillane and Clemence Poesy and Arctic-set procedural Fortitude, which BSkyB's Sky Atlantic is producing with U.S. pay TV group Starz. Sky Deutschland recently has come on board its biggest-ever original drama, co-financing the $34 million Babylon Berlin, a period crime drama set in 1930s Berlin, which Cloud Atlas director Tom Tykwer is developing. German public broadcaster ARD and Beta Film are co-producers with Beta handling international sales. The roll out for Diabolik and future Sky Europe productions will closely follow that of Gomorrah, with Sky channels getting premiere rights in their home territories before a global bow. That model will be put to its first test when Gomorrah premieres on BSkyB Monday. Email: email@example.com Twitter: @sroxborough FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Scott Roxborough email@example.com @thr

NEW DELHI: National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) chairman P.L. Punia on Thursday dubbed Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal's remarks on the Abohar killing as very 'irresponsible' amid a furor in Parliament over the Dalit brutality issue in Punjab.
"In the Abohar incident, two men's hands and legs was chopped off, the incident is so serious and still the government did not conduct any investigation on this. The Punjab Government has failed to take any action. The chief minister himself gives an irresponsible statement that it is an issue of 'gang war'. The Congress Party has taken this incident very seriously and the Commission is taking measures on this. We will make sure that the victim's family gets justice," Punia told ANI here.
"National Commission for Scheduled Castes have send a notice to DGP Punjab and asked the DGP to appear before the commission today," he added.
Badal, who is the Union Minister for Food Processing Industries, had on Tuesday said that the incident in Abohar was an inter-gang war.
The Congress has been vehemently protesting in the Rajya Sabha against the Dalit killings in Punjab and is demanding the dismissal of the Punjab government.
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said these incidents showed the prevalence of "jungle raaj" in Punjab. He said what was happening was worse than terrorism and there was no law and order in the state.

Mehrauli Walking Tour - Exploring Delhi's Oldest NeighbourhoodPosted by Anna Schaeble • Friday, June 29. 2012 • Category: People and Places
When I booked myself on a Historic Mehrauli Walking Tour I was really excited, was really looking forward to go. Why was I so excited about this walking tour? I had arrived in India only two weeks before to complete an internship as part of my studies in Germany. And of course, everything still felt completely new and adventure-like to me. It was my first time in India, as you may have guessed. You must remember your first time being here and can imagine how I felt.

Miuccia Prada's latest Miu Miu collection, with its severe hairstyling and tractor soled high-heels, doesn't look particularly easy to wear, but was fascinating to watch, writes Luke Leitch.
BY Luke Leitch | 06 March 2013
Photo: Vladinir Potop
The eye has to travel, that's established: but does it always have to go first class? Today Miuccia Prada presented her Miu Miu collection to a contextual backdrop of mass transit - we heard the rumble of metro trains as her models walked, and the soullessly industrial showspace felt, as one editor commented afterwards, "very Jubilee Line".
IN PICTURES: See the Miu Miu autumn/winter 2013 collection
Onto this platform strode an intriguingly severe manifestation of Miu Miu. Mid-calf, high-waisted coats - often in navy and often with a sailor back - were worn over even longer skirts, which were in turn worn over jazzily decorated pull-ups. Spat-panelled, tractor soled high-heels and flat boots were weightily perfect for springing across the metal mesh flooring. Air hostess scarves, bowling bags and hair pulled so tight it was almost a face-lift completed the look.
Away from the navy there was a fun flirtation with polka dots, stripes and zingy colour: a pink sailor back against a black-on-yellow polka dot shoulder makes for an unmissable coat. None of it looked particularly easy to wear, but it was fascinating to watch.

Cap News-Ellis and Procter Celebrate RBC Cup Title
May 22, 2014
Ellis and Procter celebrate RBC Cup title
by Warren Henderson - Kelowna Capital News
In the middle of the 2012-13 season, Josh Ellis was playing junior B hockey with the North Okanagan Knights, uncertain of which direction his career was going to take.
A year and a half later, the Kelowna Minor Hockey product is celebrating an RBC Cup championship.
Ellis and another former Okanagan Rockets forward, Cortlan Procter, helped push to the Yorkton Terriers to victory last weekend at the Canadian Junior A Hockey Championship in Vernon.
The Terriers, the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champs, prevailed over the Carleton Place Canadians 4-3 in overtime in Sunday's national final at Kal Tire Place.
"It's pretty surreal," Ellis, 19, said Wednesday from Yorkton. "You couldn't have written it any better. It was lucky for me to end up with Yorkton, and I couldn't have asked for anything more."
Ellis, who served as captain of the B.C. Major Midget League's Rockets for two seasons, began the 2012-13 campaign in the BCHL, but was released soon after by the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
It wasn't long after joining KIJHL's North Okanagan Knights that Ellis' career took another unexpected turn, as the Terriers called on the 5-foot-9, 170-pound forward to join the SJHL team for the remainder of the season.
If Ellis had finished last season in junior B, an education would likely have taken precedence over hockey.
"I was pretty fortunate, I was probably 24 hours away from finishing last season in junior B," he said. "I showed up in Yorkton blind, the coach picked me up, I went to practise and here I am today."
Ellis went on to play the last 12 regular season games with the Terriers and 17 more in the playoffs, as Yorkton advanced to the Western Canada Cup before being eliminated.
This season, with a veteran roster in tact, Ellis and the Terriers rolled to the SJHL title and won the Western Canada Cup.
In Vernon, Ellis, Procter and the Terriers capped a dream season in dramatic fashion with an RBC title.
"To come back late in the game and tie it, then win in overtime just shows the amount of character our team has," said Ellis, who had an assist in six games at the national tournament. "We have some big hardware (rings) for our hands coming and the RBC medals, so it's a pretty amazing finish to the season."
Okanagan Rockets GM David Michaud said no player is more deserving of championship ring than Josh Ellis.
"Josh was the ultimate leader for us," Michaud said. "Talking with Yorkton coach Trent Cassan, nothing has changed. Josh is a heart and soul player and personally I couldn't be happier to see him achieve the ultimate success in junior A. Josh's success paved the way for Cortlan Procter to go to Yorkton, and it will lead to more Okanagan Rockets heading there in the future."
Ellis will return to the Terriers in 2014-15 as a 20-year-old for his final season of junior hockey.
Meanwhile, Josh's older brother, Brendan, who played four seasons with the BCHL's West Kelowna Warriors, just finished up his collegiate career this spring at Merrimack College, then played in one game for the American Hockey League's Manchester Monarchs.

Arable farmers are being urged to re-assess their winter pesticide programmes in order to counteract the effects of an abnormally warm winter, with growers warned that the efficacy of some active ingredients might be undermined by the unseasonal conditions.
This years prolonged spell of warm winter weather has resulted in dramatically increased disease pressures across many parts of the UK, explains Gemma Sparrow, Technical Specialist for Adama. Andits a double-whammy, she warns, as the high temperatures could mean that some pesticides are less effective than normal.
With many actives being temperature sensitive,Gemma therefore urges farmers and agronomists to re-visit their existing pesticide programmes to ensure none of their proposed products are adversely affected.
With a little time spent formulating a plan B,growers should still be able to adopt an effective protection plan, Gemma explains. For example, while its currently too warm for propyzamide to be effective against Black-grass, growers can use carbetamide instead.
The cut-off date for carbetamide is 29th February 2016 and it can therefore still be used legally until that date.
With many parts of the country seeing a second flush of Black-grass coming through, Crawler, which contains 600g/kg of carbetamide, is therefore the best product to use during what is turning out tobe an abnormally warm winter, Gemma continues.
Sprayer operators should also consider the impact of heavy rainfall, Miss Sparrow adds. As well as the exceptionally warm weather, we've also witnessed some record breaking levels of rainfall. An important part of re-assessing this years pesticide plan should therefore involve an assessment of soil moisture levels and the susceptibility of pesticides to flushing.
If in doubt, use Adamas WaterAware app to carryout a quick and easy assessment of the leaching risk. Its free to download, quick to use and gives a simple Yes or No guide with regard to the timing of spray and pellet applications and the potential risk to surface water.
Adamas WaterAware app is available to download from Google Play forAndroid devices and the Apple Store for Apple devices.

Most students consider changing their major at some point in their college careers, and many go through with it – sometimes more than once. Before you decide to change your major, there are a few things that you should consider.
Have you researched the program?
Before deciding to make the big switch, first you should make sure you fully understand what you're signing up for. One good way to do this is to talk to someone who's currently in the major you want to switch into. Another way is to take a look at the classes you'll need to take, maybe even sit in on one or two. It would also be wise to look into the career opportunities available, and what they will require from you. Just because the material is interesting in university doesn't mean that the job that you get out of it will fit your needs.
Do you meet the requirements?
After researching the program, you should have a good idea as to how competitive it is to get accepted into. Do you meet the requirements? If not, is there anything you can do to meet them? Finding this out before you get halfway through the process will save you a big headache later.
Are you willing to make the sacrifice?
More often than not, many of the courses that you spent so much time on for your first major won't be transferable for the second. If you're going to change your major, you need to be able to be ok with losing the time invested in those courses and spending more time making up for the courses you haven't yet taken. This can mean an extra year or longer in college, and is something that you need to be aware of.
Make Sure it's for the Right Reasons
There are a number of reasons that a student might decide to change their major, and some are better than others. Make sure that you aren't switching because of a short term problem, like you aren't doing well in one of your classes or you just broke up with a boy/girlfriend who's in your program. Switching your major should be something you do to look out for your long term interests, not to solve a short term problem.
Switching your major is a big decision and shouldn't be made lightly. Taking the time necessary to evaluate the decision fully is crucial to coming to the right conclusion.

Renkon, the lotus root, is one of the most mythic Japanese vegetables. As luck would have it, the Siskos got to know the story of this fantastic root vegetable by visiting the Shoojima family in northern Kuyshu.
Harvesting renkon is a muddy hard work but seems to make you addicted. The over 80 year-old grandfather of the family can't stop himself from digging into the wet soil. The root comes in many longish shapes and a holey insides. The story goes that if you peek through the holes you can see into the future.
At home by the Shoojimas the mother is showing us how to prepare the ultimate crunchy slices of the magnificent root. When returning to our residence in Akiyoshidai our bentoboxes are filled with it.
