Seitan Satay
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 cup water
1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon tahini
4 small or 2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup Bragg Aminos or soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 13 ounce can lite coconut milk
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 small onion, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
olive oil
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a large cookie sheet and set aside.To make the seitan, combine the wheat gluten and nutritional yeast. Whisk together the water, liquid smoke and tahini and pour into the dry mixture. With your hands, mix together until a ball forms. It will be wet. Knead for a minute or so. Flatten out the dough as much as you can. It is okay if there are holes. At this point you want to tear the dough into pieces. They do not have to be the same size as they will be skewered later. Place onto the cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven.To make the marinade, combine the garlic, ginger, lemon juice, Braggs or soy sauce and water. Pour into a baggie and add the baked seitan. Marinate in the fridge for an hour or up to overnight.For the satay sauce, add the lite coconut milk, peanut butter, grated onion, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk frequently until it comes to a bubble. Remove from heat and keep warm.Meanwhile, either preheat a grill to medium-high heat or turn the oven on to high broil. Skewer the marinated seitan strips and drizzle with some olive oil to prevent sticking when cooking. Grill or broil, 5 minutes per side. Serve with the satay sauce.My husband liked the grilled seitan better but they were both good. He also thought this was the best "meat-like" seitan texture I have served him thus far. The two of us devoured all of the skewers in about three minutes!
Source of recipe: The seitan recipe came from the idea of Dragonfly's ribs, then marinated as satay meat. The satay sauce came from allrecipes.com, though I used lite coconut milk instead of regular.
This was delicious! I served it at an X-men party. It was supposed to be something Wolverine would bring, since it's "meat" on a stick (like a claw) and an Asian dish, bub.
When I made the seitan, it seemed much too wet, so I added perhaps 1/2-3/4 of a cup of all-purpose flour (for a doubled recipe). Next time I will start with half the water because the flour made it a bit bready, but it was still good. One vegan said he preferred it on the bready side. I didn't fool any omnis with the fake meat, but they still liked it.
I only used the juice of one lemon in the marinade and that made it lemony enough. It was kind of sweet. I didn't broil or grill the seitan after marinating - I baked it on 325 for 10-15 minutes to crisp it up and that worked well. I was afraid to burn it in the broiler.
Lots of leftover marinade and satay sauce to use for a stir-fry this week! Thank you for a great recipe!
i broiled my seitan for the time specified and it got a bit charred :( ... the sauce was alright i think maybe coating the seitan with bbq sauce would have been better... i might try that next time
For this recipe I didn't make my own seitan I used 2 packs of pre packaged seitan. I just put the liquid smoke in the marinade. Not all of it, just a bit. I could of cooked more seitan since the sauce to seitan ratio was way off. Just means I have more sauce for other things. I didn't broil it either. I just cooked it at 500 degrees until they looked crispy enough for me. For the sauce I added way more chili flakes (I like spicy things!) I also found the seitan to be very lemony. I don't know if it was because I used pre packaged seitan or what. Overall I was pleased and would make it again. Maybe with a bit less lemon.

Outdoor & Leisure Activities - S. Nevada
People travel from far and wide to enjoy the natural beauty of our desert oasis. Perhaps you will decide to explore the beauty of Lake Mead Recreational Area, Red Rock Canyon, the cooler heights of Mount Charleston or a tour of Hoover Dam and the historical Boulder City that grew up around the building of the dam. here is a brief summary on some of the desert's best:
Lake Mead offers year-round recreational opportunities. Its lakes cater to boaters, swimmers, and fishermen while its desert rewards hikers, wildlife photographers, and roadside sightseers. It is also home to thousands of desert plants and animals, adapted to survive in an extreme place where rain is scarce and temperatures soar.
Mt. Charleston is 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Las Vegas with its highest elevation at 11,918 feet (3,615 meters). An average of 20 to 30 degrees cooler than Las Vegas, Mt. Charleston is perfect for skiing, picnicking, hiking, and horseback riding.As you take the scenic mountain ride you will be surrounded by breathtaking views of nature and the "city" you left behind. All rides are guided by professional wranglers on well-trained horses.
The Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas' dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future. The Preserve features museums, galleries, outdoor concerts and events, colorful botanical gardens and an interpretive trail system that meanders through a scenic wetland habitat.
Valley of Fire State Park is located only six miles from Lake Mead and 55 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest and largest state park, dedicated in 1935 and derives its name from the red sandstone formations and the stark beauty of the Mojave Desert. Ancient trees and early man are represented throughout the park by areas of petrified wood and 3,000 year-old Indian petroglyph. The park offers a full-scale visitor center with extensive interpretive displays. The park is open all year.

Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

Rangers League Memorial to AboriginesPrint Page
The monument commemorates the Aborigines buried in Camperdown Cemetery. The monument was re-erected in Camperdown in 1944 after being received from Balmain Cemetery the previous year.
The cemetery contains the grave stones of several Aboriginal people who were buried in the cemetery. Among these are: * William Perry died 25 September 1849 * George Papas died 26 August 1849 * Mogo died 5 October 1850 * Wandalina Caborigirel died 7 June 1860 The cemetery has been enclosed and partially turned into Camperdown Memorial Rest Park. Gravestones, which were once in the park have been moved into the enclosed walls of the current cemetery. Mogo and William Perry's gravestones have been situated next to a monument.
The memorial erected by the Ranger's League in New South Wales in the old Camperdown Cemetery in memory of certain Aborigines buried there nearly a century ago. The Memorial was originally in the old Balmain Cemetery and converted to its present use when this cemetery was closed and a number of old memorials were unclaimed by any of the descendants. The word is as follows: Erected by The Rangers' League of N.S.W. at the inspiration of ALD. J. S. STANTON in Memory of Mogo, Perry, Tommy and Wandalina, Aborigines buried in this Cemetery. Also a tribute to the whole of the Aboriginal Race. 1944. C. W. Moore, Hon. Sec. (photo of memorial)

Date: 3rd July 2009
Kill Bill star David Carradine did not commit suicide, said the doctor who oversaw a private autopsy on the actor.
Carradine was found naked in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body in Bangkok on 4 June.
Forensic pathologist Dr Michael Baden concluded that the Kung Fu star died from asphyxiation. The way the body was bound allowed him to rule out suicide.
"He didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicidal causes. That leaves some kind of accidental death."
Dr Baden, who fronts the US TV series Autopsy, was hired by Carradine's family to conduct a second autopsy, following the one handled by the Thai authorities.

It is well known that Euler gave the first proof of FLT ($x^n + y^n = z^n$ has no nontrivial integral solutions for $n > 2$) for exponent $n=3$, but that his proof had gaps (which are not as easily closed as Weil seems to suggest in his excellent Number Theory - An Approach through History). Later proofs by Legendre and Kausler had the same gap, and in fact I do not know any correct proof published before Kummer's proof for all regular primes. Gauss had a beautiful proof, with the 3-isogeny clearly visible, which was published posthumously by Dedekind, and of course Dirichlet could have given a correct proof (he gave one for $n = 5$ in his very first article but apparently did not dare to provoke Legendre by suggesting his proof in Theorie des Nombres was incomplete) but did not.
The problem in the early proofs is this: if $p^2 + 3q^2 = z^3$, one has to show that $p$ and $q$ can be read off from $p + q \sqrt{-3} = (a + b\sqrt{-3})^3$. The standard proofs use unique factorization in ${\mathbb Z}[\zeta_3]$ or the equivalent fact that there is one class of binary quadratic forms with discriminant $-3$; Weil uses a (sophisticated, but elementary) counting argument.
I wonder whether there is any correct proof for the cubic Fermat equation before Kummer's proof for all regular prime exponents (1847-1850)?

eval button

Jef Raskin wrote,
All that is really needed on computers is a "Calculate" button or omnipresent menu command that allows you to take an arithmetic expression, like 248.93 / 375, select it, and do the calculation whether in the word processor, communications package, drawing or presentation application or just at the desktop level.
Fortunately, there's a blue "Access IBM" button on this keyboard that doesn't do much. So, I configured tpb to make "Access IBM" do this:
perl -e 'print eval `xsel -o`' | \
xsel -i && xte 'key Delete' 'mouseclick 2'
(That is, get the contents of the X primary selection, run it through a Perl "eval", put the result back into the X primary selection, then fake a delete and paste.)
Here's a version that uses the X clipboard selection instead.
xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key c' 'keyup Control_L' && \
perl -e 'print eval `xsel -b -o`' | xsel -b -i && \
xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key v' 'keyup Control_L'
This one seems to work better in gedit.
If you want to do this, besides tpb, you'll need xsel and xte, which is part of xautomation. If you don't have an unused button, you could also set up a binding in your window manager or build a big red outboard USB "eval" button or something.

Peter Edward Clarke (born 21 August 1957), known professionally as Budgie, is an English drummer. His first recording was with The Spitfire Boys in 1977 and then the Slits in 1979. He then became the drummer of the influential band Siouxsie and the Banshees (1979–1996) and the drum-and-voice duo the Creatures (1981–2004). Budgie worked with other musicians including John Cale, Leonard Eto (formerly of the Kodo Drummers) and John Grant.
In 2013, Spin rated him at No. 28 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music",[1] writing: "Post-punk introduced a lot of amazing drummers, but none more influential than Budgie. With the Banshees, Budgie didn't just play rhythms—he played hooks and leads, brilliant parts that set the songs on fire. His tom-tom-intensive approach, [was] enlightened by his awareness of world music". Spin considered his "most booming moment" to be "Into the Light", from 1981's Juju, saying: "Budgie drums up a marvel of kinetic syncopation and invention".[1]
Budgie was hailed in 2013 by peer Stewart Copeland of the Police as one of the 16 most interesting drummers. Copeland described Budgie's playing as "very economical and offbeat", adding, "Budgie didn't play your standard hi-hat–kick–snare; there were a lot of tom-toms and a big throb."[2] Ari Up of the Slits praised him as "a very sensitive drummer", saying, "He could go from reggae to punk to funk to jazz [...] but still very steady."[3] NME named Budgie the best drummer of 1983,[4] while music journalist David Cavanagh referred to him as "the outstanding English drummer of the post-punk era".[5] Peer Larry Mullen Jr qualified him as "one of the greats" for his work with the Banshees,[6] Ian McCulloch said that Echo & the Bunnymen's drummer "Pete de Freitas loved his drumming".[7]
He debuted as a drummer with the Spitfire Boys and Big in Japan[8] before playing with the Slits on the 1979 album Cut. Years later in 2010, Slits singer Ari Up commented:
Budgie could play anything. [...] Sting loved the Slits album Cut and what he said about it was that the drumming, he was fanatic about the drums. A lot of people at the time were raving about the drums. They knew that he had a lot of technique but he had a sensitivity, you know, and a variation about him. He could go from reggae to punk to funk to jazz, you know, all over the place, but still very steady.[3]
In September 1979, he joined Siouxsie and the Banshees on their Join Hands tour. Initially he was intended to be a temporary replacement for Kenny Morris, who had left the band two days into a tour, but Budgie remained with the group. He first performed with renowned guitarist John McGeoch on the album Kaleidoscope: Budgie became a permanent member of the band until they split up in 1996.[9] He released nine studio albums with the Banshees. In 1981, he formed a second group with Siouxsie Sioux, named the Creatures. Their music was based more on drums and percussion, with marimba and vibraphone. The 1981 Wild Things EP and 1983 full-length Feast were their first releases.
On subsequent Creatures albums, Budgie also played keyboards, guitars and harmonica. He co-wrote brass arrangements with Peter Thoms on 1983 single "Right Now" and 1989's Boomerang album.[10] Budgie married Siouxsie in May 1991. Within the Banshees, he wrote the lyrics of several songs, including "She's Cuckoo", "Silver Waterfalls", "Staring Back", "Sick Child", "Hang Me High" and "Return" (the latter was co-written with Siouxsie). For the Creatures, he wrote the lyrics for several Boomerang-era songs, including "Willow", "Morriña" and "Pluto Drive" (the latter was co-written with Siouxsie).
In August 2002, Budgie first collaborated with Japanese taiko player Leonard Eto (formerly of the Kodo Drummers), recording spontaneous drum-duet improvisations in Tokyo for the fourth Creatures album, Hái!. The drum performances were then edited, and the rest of the sessions took place in France. Budgie was the sound engineer of the album, and he mixed it near Toulouse before its release in 2003. After recording four studio albums as the Creatures, Budgie's final performance with Siouxsie (featuring Eto and the Millennia Ensemble) was filmed in 2004 at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the DVD Dreamshow. This was Budgie's last concert and collaboration with Siouxsie; in 2007, the pair publicly announced their divorce.[11]
Outside the Banshees and Creatures, the drummer also worked with Indigo Girls in 1992 on Rites of Passage, and briefly toured with them in the US at the end of that year. In 1994, Budgie recorded percussion on Hector Zazou's Chansons des mers froides, including a song for Jane Siberry. He later played drums for former Velvet Underground member John Cale during his summer 1998 US tour on a double bill with The Creatures. Budgie played two sets each night, one with Cale and one with The Creatures.[12] In 2009, he toured Europe with Juno Reactor and moved to Berlin. Later that year, he also recorded drums for Jessie Evans' Is It Fire? album.[13]
In 2010, he teamed up with two other drummers, Eto and Mabi, plus multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler and guitarist Sugizo, for a programme called "The Butterfly Effect: East-West Percussive Parade." It was described as a "drumming extravaganza, featuring Western kit, Japanese taiko and African drums, that will launch the musicians into a new sonic galaxy!".[14] The programme's world première took place in Hong Kong in November 2010 as part of the New Vision Arts Festival. "The Butterfly Effect" featured improvised solos and ensemble works as well as new pieces and arrangements specially created for the festival, inspired by the pace, rhythm and character of Hong Kong.[15]
In 2012, he served as the drummer for Efterklang on their worldwide tour. They were accompanied by an orchestra. The premiere at the Opera House in Sydney was praised by Time Out.[16] His last concert with Efterklang took place in Brussels in November.[17] A live album, recorded in Copenhagen, was later issued.[18]
In 2013, Budgie and Eto performed live material from Hái! in Tokyo, 11 years after conceiving the drum parts in that city. The concert took place at the Studio Coast as part of Juno Reactor's set.[19] He also played drums for CocoRosie at several shows.[20]
In 2015, he played drums on John Grant's third solo album, Grey Tickles, Black Pressure,[21] playing in November with Grant on the accompanying tour.[22] In 2018, he performed again with Grant in the UK at the latter's March concerts.[23] That year, he also played with tabla player Talvin Singh for the first time since their collaboration on the Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1991-92 Superstition tour: Singh and Budgie gave a one-off performance at the "100 Years of Beat" festival in Berlin.[24] In 2020, he played drums for American singer Thomas Truax.[25]

By Pardeep Singh Dardi/ Alternate kashmir
Kashmir (Baramulla) – At least six hundred people of Sikh community Sunday
gathered at Gurdwara of village Chandoosa (north kashmir district baramulla
village) to mark the 67th year of Martyrs' Anniversary in the memory 22
Sikhs killed during Kabali Raid.
"This day is being observed by Sikh community as Martyrs' Anniversary since
1947 in commemoration to 22 Sikh people who lost their lives fighting
Kabalies in 1947," Said Inder kour, who lost her Father-in-law in the
"In Chandoosa village, every year the Sikh sangat (community) celebrate
their remembrance as 'Shaheedi Utsav' (Martyr's Anniversary) during the
last week of October," she added.
Apprising about the 'Martyr's Anniversary' president Gurudwara Parbandhak
committee (GPC) Chandoosa told us that "Every year, villagers remember the
martyrs' of 1947 with the recitation of verses of Guru Granth Sahib Ji
followed by a half day long Gurbani kirtan Darbar."
"At the end of Gurbani kirtan darbar we start a march towards the martyrs'
park, the place where last rites of those 22 martyrs took place and at the
end we hoist our religious flag ( Nishaan shaib) and pray for them," he
Meanwhile, Guru Ka langer (Lunch) was also distributed among the devotees
on the occasion.

App::Textile2x - Application-wrapper class for converting Textile mark-up
use App::Textile2x;
# ...presume that %opts comes from the command-line or other source
$input = $opts{input} || \*STDIN;
$output = $opts{output} || \*STDOUT;
$app = App::Textile2x->new();
$app->convert($input, $output, $opts{format} || 'plaintext');
The App::Textile2x class is a wrapper around basic functionality based on the Text::Textile::Plaintext, etc., classes. It is meant to encapsulate the functionality provided by the textile2x family of scripts that come with this distribution.
This class makes two methods available:
- new([%args])
Create an instance of the class. Any arguments are assumed to be key-value pairs that specify constructor arguments for the formatter classes. These are used only when the class in question is actually instantiated.
The value associated with each key should be a hash-reference containing key-value pairs that are used for the constructor of the given class. The three keys currently recognized are:
- plaintext
Arguments for the Text::Textile::Plaintext class.
- postscript
Arguments for the Text::Textile::PostScript class.
- rtf
Arguments for the Text::Textile::RTF class.
Note that the keys are expected to be all-lowercase. See the associated documentation pages for each formatter class for more information on their arguments.
- convert($source, $sink, $format)
Convert Textile mark-up in the given
$sourceand send the resulting output to the given
$sink. Optionally, specify
$formatto use, with the default being "plaintext".
$sourceparameter may be in one of forms:
- Scalar
If the source is a plain scalar, it is taken as the Textile content itself and used directly.
- Scalar reference
If the source is a scalar reference, it is assumed to reference the content. It is de-referenced and its content passed to Text::Textile.
- Filehandle reference (GLOB)
Lastly, if the source is a filehandle or filehandle-like value, it is read from and the complete content from it is passed to Text::Textile. Note that it is not streamed to the Textile converter (which does not support streaming anyway). Caution should be taken when converting excessively large files this way.
$sinkparameter may be in one of two forms:
- Scalar reference
If the sink is a scalar reference, the converted content is assigned to it directly.
- Filehandle reference (GLOB)
If the sink is a reference to a filehandle or filehandle-like value, then the converted content is written to it using print.
The last parameter,
$format, is optional and defaults to
plaintext. It specifies whether the converted Textile content is then converted to text (
plaintext), PostScript (
postscript) or Rich Text Format (
rtf). The value is converted to lower-case, so
PostScriptis a synonym for
The return value from convert() is always a true value, as it uses die to throw an exception on any errors it encounters.
Please report any bugs or feature requests to
bug-text-textile-plaintext at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Text-Textile-Plaintext. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

Popular guest room amenities attract potential bed and breakfast guests. Bed and breakfast guests are willing to pay more for bedrooms offering more amenities. In fact, some guest reviewers mention the amenities they enjoyed during their stay (which attracts more guests to stay at your inn).
Some bed and breakfasts have a room comparison chart that lists the guest room amenities available and then puts a dot or check by the amenities that correspond with each particular guest room. This makes it easy for online visitors to see a room comparison and the price differences since there may be some rooms that have more amenities than others within the same bed and breakfast.
The amenities bed and breakfasts offer often depend upon the location and size of each bed and breakfast. Geographical location plays a role in choosing guest room amenities (fireplaces usually more common in climates with cooler weather). Likewise, the size of the bed and breakfast matters. Typically the more rooms an inn has, the higher the likelihood of upscale amenities.
The amenities at bed and breakfasts range from small things (like an alarm clock and stationery) to big things (like wi-fi internet access and a large flat screen television). There are certain amenities that are usually standard. For example, almost every bed and breakfast offers a private bathroom to their guests.
Other amenities in bedrooms are less common place. For example, in-room hot tubs are seen as an added luxury. This is typically found in bed and breakfasts that cater to those seeking a romantic destination.
The following is an alphabetical list of some guest bedroom amenities and features your bed and breakfast may offer:
- Alarm clock radio
- Antiques
- Bathroom (private and connected)
- Beds (oversized and comfortable)
- Bedside table on each side of the bed
- Blankets (extra)
- Books
- Bottled water
- Ceiling fan(s)
- Chairs
- Chocolates
- Coffee maker
- Coasters
- Coat rack
- Comforters (extra)
- Desk
- DVD player
- Ear plugs
- Evening sweet treat
- Fireplace (hand carved wood or marble)
- Flowers
- Furniture (such as antique or leather)
- Guidebook with local maps and restaurant menus
- Hair dryer
- Handicap accessible amenities
- Hangers
- Hot tubs
- Ice bucket and glassware
- Individual climate control
- Iron and ironing board
- Lamps (such as Tiffany lamps)
- Lighted make-up mirror
- Luggage racks
- Magazines
- Microwave
- Mini-Bar
- Mini-Fridge
- Mints
- Mirror (full length)
- Outlets with USB ports
- Pillows (extra)
- Pictures
- Plants
- Postcards
- Private balcony, deck, patio, porch, or veranda
- Private entrance
- Reading lamps
- Refrigerator (small)
- Robes
- Rose petals on your bed
- Rugs
- Separate sitting area
- Sink (in the bedroom)
- Slippers
- Snacks or evening dessert in your room
- Sofas
- Stationery
- Table
- Tablet computer (stays in the room)
- Technology charging stations
- Television (large flat screen) with premium cable channels
- Windows showing a breathtaking view
- Wine and cheese
- Wireless internet access (complimentary)
We wrote a separate blog post about guest bathroom amenities. Bed and breakfasts may suggest a packing list to help their guests prepare for their visit.
Bed and breakfasts are wise to point out exactly everything that is included in the stay at their luxurious bed and breakfast versus what guests may have to pay for if they chose to stay at a hotel (concierge, breakfast, parking, free wi-fi, wine and cheese, and much more). By offering popular guest room amenities, bed and breakfasts can separate themselves from other lodging destinations and host more guests.

Speaking Out: Vulgar language misses the point
It sometimes is interesting as to why God gave humans speech. I recently came across two YouTube videos from Ascension Presents, a Catholic apostolate, which tackles the issue of using obscenities, an area of improvement for myself. Like all of our gifts, we are called to use the virtue of modesty with this one as well.
Figure of Speech: Listen to what the Lord wants us to hear
Mondegreens are those wonderful phenomena in language where a misheard phrase is substituted for the real thing, usually in music. The term comes from American writer Sylvia Wright who explained that she misheard the phrase "and laid him on the green" in a Scottish ballad as "and Lady Mondegreen."
Service Canada's gender-neutral directive ignites critics
OTTAWA – Service Canada's directive to employees to use gender-neutral language met with derision in social media, but some Catholic observers say the move represents a dangerous trend.
Northern schools lead on reconciliation
To see the impact of engraining Indigenous cultures and languages into Ontario's schools — a practice encouraged by the Ministry of Education — one needs to simply look north.
Church must open its arms to lonely nation
Pope's homily: Learn the language of the Holy Spirit
Pope Francis has urged Christians to engage with the Holy Spirit, and to open their hearts to the Spirit before taking important decisions.
VATICAN CITY – Existing in some form since several hundred years before Christ, the Latin language seems like an unlikely subject to still be generating brand new research, especially among young scholars.
There's nothing alien about the way God talks to us
Like E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Independence Day, and a host of similar films over the past 30 years, Arrival explores the theme of an alien visitation to Earth.
Halifax's Saint Mary's University offering language course for those welcoming Syrian refugees
Retired lawyer Bob Doherty has no illusions about becoming fluent in Arabic but he's taking a language course at Saint Mary's University in Halifax in order to ease the transition for the Syrian refugee family his parish will soon welcome.
Synod calls for Bible-based presentation of God's plan for family
VATICAN CITY - As members of the Synod of Bishops concluded work on the second of three chapters in their working document, they continued to call for a tone and for language that is clear, simple and encourages people to see it is possible to live the vocation of marriage and family life.
TORONTO - Parents of Toronto Catholic kindergarten pupils are becoming better equipped to support, enhance and enrich the development of their child's communication skills.
Scholar decries 'plague' wiping out history
As Amir Harrak watched the news this summer, the Toronto scholar saw a history, culture and language that he devoted his life to understanding being turned to dust. Churches, monasteries, mosques blown up, libraries full of ancient manuscripts burned and the people who still speak and live according to the language of Jesus and his Apostles dispersed. The news out of Iraq could not have been worse.
WASHINGTON - Pope Benedict XVI told the German bishops that, as Pope, he has celebrated Mass in different languages and "sometimes it is hard to find common ground" in the various translations.
"The underlying common text often remains visible only from afar," he told the bishops, who were preparing to send their revised Mass translation to the printers.
In a letter dated April 14 and posted on the German bishops' website April 24, Pope Benedict said that, over the years, it has become "increasingly clear" to him that not translating liturgical texts literally creates difficulties.

Rescue is the thirty-fifth episode of Armada. It first aired in the United States on April 26, 2003 on Cartoon Network.
Autobots attack the Decepticon base on the Moon and make a discovery.
By himself, Demolishor grumpily cleans up the Decepticons' base after Starscream's rampage. Turning around, Demolishor is surprised to see Starscream standing right behind him, and drops some of the items he was carrying on his own foot. Demolishor is introduced to Starscream's new running crew: the Autobots. Demolishor activates the alarm. The Autobots and Decepticons meet in Megatron's throne room. Megatron fires the Requiem Blaster at Starscream, but Smokescreen blocks the shot with the Skyboom Shield. A bright light from the impact fills the room, blinding the Autobots long enough for Megatron to retreat, leaving his troops behind to finish the battle. The Autobots and Decepticons engage in battle with each other (with Sideswipe attempting to take on Tidal Wave on his own). While Starscream is blinded by his vengeance, Laserbeak and Hot Shot are assigned to locate Perceptor. Perceptor runs Jerry away from Demolishor's Tom. When Demolishor backs Perceptor into a corner, Laserbeak flies into Demolishor's face just long enough to ruin Demolishor's aim. While the Decepticon stumbles about, Hot Shot arrives to punch Demolishor down. Perceptor runs ahead and finds himself in an encounter with Tidal Wave, and again Hot Shot comes to the Mini-Con's rescue. But because of Tidal Wave's power and size, Hot Shot has more difficulty taking the Decepticon down. Perceptor leaves. Perceptor finds all his captured Mini-Con brothers - in a hidden underground facility where they're being put to work to assemble a gigantic spaceship. Perceptor has some blippy dialogue with the other Mini-Cons, when Megatron attacks. When Perceptor is grasped by the neck, the Mini-Cons begin one of their irregular chants, like the one played when the Requiem Blaster was first formed. The Minis all stop working on the space ship and surround an annoyed Megatron. When Megatron attempts to punish the insolent machines, Hot Shot attacks, covering the Mini-Cons' escape. Tidal Wave arrives just in time to watch Megatron and Hot Shot race out, but Smokescreen shows up to keep Tidal Wave company. Side Swipe and Perceptor guide all the emancipated Mini-Cons through the Decepticon's warp gate, to the Autobot base. Megatron and Hot Shot continue to battle. Megatron is about to finally deactivate the Autobot, but Starscream slices Megatron's cannon off. Against both Hot Shot and Starscream, Megatron falls. With the Mini-Cons safe, Optimus calls his forces to return to the Autobot base, but Starscream would rather stay to finish off Megatron. Starscream agrees to return with the Autobots - but is left feeling upset about it.
In the episode
English dub changes
- Characters (in order of appearance): Demolishor, Starscream, Optimus Prime, Perceptor, Jetfire, Hot Shot, Smokescreen, Megatron, Thrust, Cyclonus, Tidal Wave, Wheeljack, Laserbeak, Red Alert, Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Billy, Fred, Blurr, Scavenger, Tons of Mini-Cons, Sky Blast
Cyclonus: Boy, what a showoff, so who died and put Mr. Conehead in charge?
Tidal Wave: Stop your whining, Cyclonus. Alexis: This is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my life. Tidal Wave: Thank you, Tidal Wave appreciates. Megatron: It seems you're trapped. Like a rat. This amuses me. Sayonara, Autobot.
Aberrations, Errors
- Animation Error: After Demolishor pushes the alarm button, for a shot, Starscream's Star Saber is drawn in the distinct shape of his regular wing-blade.
- Mirage and Dirt Boss are among the Mini-Cons in Megatron's construction facility, but earlier, the Autobots were using the Skyboom Shield (which includes them both as components).
- Tidal Wave's size in robot mode is incredibly inconsistent from shot to shot.
- Coloring error: When Smokescreen hits the stuck Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave is horribly miscolored for a moment.
- Animation crappy: There's a shot of Mini-Cons teleporting into the Autobot base; all of the Mini-Cons in this shot are illustrated with the same upper body. In the next shot, Carlos and three Spirals are on screen at the same time, but Spiral was also one of the Mini-Cons the Autobots recovered.

By now, you might have heard that NTUC Income has just launched its new financial product called VivaLink.
VivaLink is an investment linked policy that aimed at earning you potentially higher returns for your savings while you enjoy the best insurance coverage for yourself.
Alhamdulillah…. To me, this is a good news for our Muslim community in Singapore! 🙂
(My family and I celebrating Hari Raya Puasa)
Whenever I meet my clients or prospects engaging my Islamic Financial Planning services, one of the most common questions that I get is, " Is this financial instrument halal, or is it haram? Why is it halal? Why is it haram?"
One of the things that I share, is that, if you will like to know whether a financial instrument is shariah compliant or not, the first thing you have to look for is:
You have to look at the underlying assets.
The underlying assets have to be shariah compliant. Free from riba (interest). Maysir (speculation).
And Gharar (uncertainty).
If you get a financial instrument, where you contribute $200/mth, you need to know exactly where your $200/mth goes to specifically. How will your $200/mth contribution helps you, make money in the long run?
And if death, total and permanent disability or critical illnesses were to occur, where will the payout, the money come from?
It is important to look at the underlying assets because the basic rulings of Muamalat (Islamic Transactions) is that:
If one will like to point that a particular financial instrument is not shariah compliant, he or she has an obligation to point specifically which part of the plan is not shariah compliant.
Most of the time, it is the underlying assets.
Where your money is being invested in.
So, when NTUC Income Cooperative launched the VivaLink plan yesterday, I got very excited.
Finally, I can structure a plan for my clients, for coverage against death, total and permananent disability and critical illness, with an underlying fund that is shariah compliant.
My clients have the CHOICE to how much coverage, they want by adjusting the mortality rate premium and at the same time, ensure that the plan by itself is shariah compliant.
In addition to that, the plan is complete with an Aqad contract to remedy Maysir and Gharar.
(Picture of my aqad nikah a few years back)
Till date, this is the only plan in Singapore that I know of, that comes with an Aqad contract to specifically, mentioned that difference between sum assured and cash surrender value is deemed as a donation from the insurer to the family.
(Snapshot of Aqad contract to remedy Maysir and Gharar)
If you will like to learn more on how you can get more coverage for yourself.
The shariah compliant way.
Let us meet! 🙂
I will also guide you with my F.L.A.I.R. financial planning process, that includes determining your financial objectives, liquidity, affordability, investment time horizon and risk profile analysis.
You can SMS/Whatsapp me, financial consultant, Helmi Hakim at 96520134.
See you soon! Insya'Allah! 🙂

Monthly Catch Up #4 – April 2018
by Norrie
In the third week of April, summer has arrived to London quite abruptly. On Monday I was still wearing my winter coat, and then Thursday found me almost half naked, getting a tan in the parking lot on our smoke break at work. Anarchy in the UK, pretty much. We are back to shitty weather though, so all is well. So let's see what happened in April on Reading Under the Blankie, shall we. On account of having three days […]

Daisy Chain Pre-School at Middleton is our centre of excellence for funded 2, 3 and 4 year olds. We renovated the William Gascoigne Community Centre, a place no longer in use that had previously been a well-loved hub of the local community. The centre was transformed to create a vibrant, well-resourced pre-school where children can play and learn. One of the challenges we faced was transforming a large space into a welcoming environment that wouldn't be daunting to a young child. Parental feedback confirms that we have created a unique, friendly and welcoming learning environment with well-spaced activity areas, designed to help little ones feel safe and secure.
There are three childcare rooms; new children (Imps), 2 year olds (Sprites) and 3 & 4 year olds (Elves), which is our pre-school classroom.
Each childcare room has direct access to its own outdoor play area with lots of exciting, challenging activities including mud kitchens, pebble pits, soft play, construction and garden areas.
For quieter moments we have a sensory room and a hand made Mongolian Yurt, providing enclosed, cosy spaces ideal for story time or music and movement sessions.
Snack/meal times are a social occasion, encouraging independence wherever possible. Parents provide their child with a packed lunch if their session is across the lunchtime period. We provide freshly prepared snack, catering for individual needs with a varied and nutritional menu including dishes from around the world. Local suppliers provide our fresh fruit/vegetables and dairy products.
Following on from the success of providers offering Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) for all three and four year olds, the Government is offering the same entitlement for two year olds who meet the eligibility criteria. The provision of FEEE enables all eligible two-year-old children to receive 570 hours each year of free childcare. This is equivalent to 15 hours each week (term time only).
Read: Criteria for 30 Hours FREE Childcare
Our well qualified staff team all share a love of working with children and follow a programme of continuous personal development. Each child has a dedicated key person who provides daily feedback on children's progress and development.
Daisy Chain Childcare was the first private day care company to be accredited with a GOLD award with the Leeds Quality Assurance scheme in 2005, an award endorsed by the Investors in Children Kite Mark. Daisy Chain Childcare received the Investors in People Accreditation in 2011 and in 2016 we won "Best Setting For Two Yeas Olds" at The Nursery World Awards.
See the Made in Leeds Footage about our WIN at The Nursery World Awards 2016.
Children are settled and content because all staff provide a caring and nurturing environment that promotes children's emotional well-being effectively.

I have been very impressed with my daughter's care whilst at this nursery. The only reason I am moving my child is because I needed an additional day and they didn't have availability due to being so popular! The staff are very friendly and professional and made a great effort to get to know me and my daughter personally...

Daisy Chain Middleton has been an excellent nursery for my child. She has attended it since September 2014 and has loved every minute of been there. The staff are wonderful with her & so friendly to all parents, they have so much time for everyone, it's a lovely environment for children. I would definitely recommend Daisy Chain Middleton as a perfect pre-school.
Lisa H, Daisy Chain Pre-school Middleton
Daisy Chain is a wonderful nursery. They have completely made me feel at ease when I went back to work 3 months ago. My son has a fabulous time, has great meals and has made lots of friends. It's lovely to get updates and seeing his progress. All of the staff are fantastic and very helpful.

Dear All,
yesterday, HST observed successfully HS1055+0939=IU Leo.
Thank you very much for the very detailed monitoring that
you provided - this was extremely helpful to reassure everybody
that the recent outburst was indeed over, and the star was not
up to anything else.
At a first glance, the UV spectrum suggests that the accreting
white dwarf in this long-period dwarf nova may be relatively hot,
which would be consistent with the fact that the system has
relatively frequent dwarf nova outbursts - but we will need a bit
more time for a detailed analysis.
Best wishes,
Boris Gaensicke

Improving the Skills of Managers and Other Staff
Having a diverse workforce brings benefits to staff and business alike. Managers who have worked with people with an ASD have commented that they have learned to communicate with their whole team more effectively and to organize and prioritize work better. Immediate colleagues are likely to benefit in similar ways, bringing advantages and greater efficiency to a whole team.
Good PR and Corporate Image
Thousands of people in this country have disabilities. They may well be clients or customers of our business. Employing a person or people with an ASD send a message that you are positive in your attitude to disabled people, value the qualities they have to offer and are a socially responsible employer.
Meeting Legal Obligatoins
The Ontario Human Rights Code stipulates that employers have a duty to make 'reasonable adjustments' in the workplace and in the recruitment process for people with disabilities.
Reasonable adjustments in the case of a person with an ASD can often be made both readily and economically. For example, people with an ASD may process information and instructions more easily if they are written down rather than spoken or if a task is broken down into component parts. Similarly, asking clear, specific questions in an interview will make it easier for a person with an ASD to provide the information you are looking for.
If you are interested in the potential benefits a person with an ASD could bring to your workforce, you may well find you need to make relatively minor adjustments to ensure they can work effectively and efficiently.

So I have gotten pretty darn good with a single 500 EXII, moved from Canon bodies to my A7R (for landscapes and lit portraits)......but I am ready to move to the next step in lighting.
What the heck IS it??? I am going through all the threads but I can't figure out what I need to buy to have a proper lighting kit. I can use my 580 for outdoor work but I would like something I can set up indoors (maybe outside on a calm day) and shoot portraits.
I am not worried about costs, so I don't exactly need recommendations based on "this is cheaper" unless the next step up in price has no value. However, I don't want to go lay out 8K for a Broncolor kit right off the bat. But I do want it to be expandable so I can layer and add as my ideas become more complicated (simple right now).
I don't know if I should start with umbrellas or softboxes. Use my speedlight or get strobes. If I get strobes, are ABs going to be what I need, or do I need to look to Profoto or Elinchrom?
I guess I just need some help. Thanks so much!

Today, Katie and I both coincidentally wore pink. I realized halfway through the day that rehearsal tonight was composed of Alex, Tori, Katie and myself, who we deemed to be the Mean Girls of Much Ado. It's Wednesday. We were wearing pink. Score one for unintentional movie references.
Also, my blocking for the scene we did tonight is me crawling all over the floor and people's laps. 28 DAYS!

Trash to Fashion AwardsThe student with the 'Million Dollar Smile' won Manurewa High School the award for 'best performance on and off-stage' at this year's Trash 2 Fashion Awards, run by Auckland Council in partnership with the Keep Waitakere Beautiful Trust, and held at Corban's Estate in Henderson.
For the first time, this year's Trash to Fashion event extended an invitation to schools from South Auckland. After running a successful Trash2Fashion art unit for the Year 9 students in the first half of the year, the art department from Manurewa High School decided to throw their hat in the ring and compete in the 'Perfectly Pasifika' category against some experienced and serious competition from schools all over Auckland.
Thinking outside the square to produce an innovative garment from rubbish proved a tough task for the year nine students. The school competition required garments produced only from waste, using no toxic products such as glue, tape or staples. The students had to produce an extensive documented portfolio including drawings and photographs, and a complete garment (head to toe). Some fantastic garments evolved, and one group of students had produced a work so impressive it was entered into Auckland Council's Trash2Fashion competition.
1600 entries were submitted to the competition, of which 467 registered and committed to two intense weekends of rehearsals, plus three shows and an awards event. 117 were then chosen to compete at the Mangere Arts Centre semi-finals.
Manurewa High School's garment, made from plastic bags, rope and newspaper, was designed by Sonatne Kaufusi, Charlie Thach, Jak Richards, Grace Neru and Leli Kaifoto. Sonatne was the designated model, and he clearly took his role to heart! Judges at the Trash2Fashion event named him the contestant with the "million dollar smile", and Sonatne's pride and fantastic attitude earned Manurewa High School the 'Best Performance On and Off Stage' award. Sonatne was a hugely popular contestant, making friends with all the other students involved in the competition. He even left his cell phone behind for the rehearsals so he could fully engage and observe.
It was a great experience for our younger students, who conducted themselves exceptionally well at the event. Sonatne is keen to enter the awards again next year.
The competition oveall winners were a year 13 group who had participated in the competition for a number of years.

Guildhall Big Band with Special Guest John Taylor: Pure and Simple
Britain's world-renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama has provided a fertile, multidisciplinary training ground for creative young artists since 1880, boasting high profile music teachers including Taylor himself. Taylor's big band arrangements, first premiered in 2004 at the UK Cheltenham Festival, are thoroughly contemporary charts that would challenge any big band. That this group of students tackles Taylor's music with such aplomb and élan lays waste to unfounded claims that the death knell has rung for jazz in recent years.
A clear torch-carrier for legendary pianist Bill Evans, Taylor has advanced his own considerably denser approach to harmony. It's that very density that creates a strong foundation for the six titles arranged here, which date back to his 1970s Azimuth days with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler and singer Norma Winstone ("O, "Sirens' Songs, "Windfall ), but also run as contemporary as the title trackoften-covered, but first appearing on drummer Peter Erskine's You Never Know (ECM, 1993)and "Soldiering On, from the Taylor's Overnight (Sketch, 2002), with Wheeler and bassist Ricardo del Fra.
In some cases the charts wind through considerable twists and turns. The seventeen-minute "Quatorze, the only song written with a large ensemble in mind, is an episodic tour de force filled with vivid counterpoint, shifting feels and a compelling drop-out point that features some outré free interplay between trombonist Tom Woolley, altoist Mike Chillingworth and trumpeter Geoff Bartholomew before returning to terra firma. It's also a strong solo vehicle for a number of Guildhall band members, most notably baritone saxophonist Rob Downing, drummer Andrew Chapman and tenorist Tom Challenger.
Elsewhere, Taylor's charts take relatively simple premises, most notably the Azimuth material, which breathes new life through expanded arrangements taking full advantage of the textures available with this seventeen-piece ensemble. "O swings firmly, while "Sirens' Songs runs the gamut from ethereal to dramatic before finding its way to Taylor's near-minimalist core.
That Taylor is the only one to get a solo on nearly every track alludes to the high esteem conductor Scott Stroman and the entire big band hold for a pianist whose significance continues to grow with every passing year. Taylor's charts and participation are undeniably essential to Pure and Simple, but so too is the inescapable way that this outstanding young big band has made Taylor's modern big band charts come alive with a personality all its own.
