Chapter 11: Mana Glyph
Leon spent the next week resting. He did train a bit, but Artorias mostly insisted on it as a way to keep Leon active and limber.
Leons training mostly consisted of getting used to his new strength. With his newly adapted muscles, he was now far stronger than he was before the ritual. He estimated that he had more than doubled the amount of weight he could carry, and he wasnt even finished recovering yet.
But this light exercise wasnt the only thing Leon focused on. There were his meditations, lessons with Artorias on runes and enchantments, and he finally got around to skinning that stag the two of them had been ignoring.
He left the meat in the food shack but hung up the fur in the shack next door. The next time they were to trade furs with the tribesman was coming up; it had originally been planned for not long after the ritual, but Leon needed more time to recover than Artorias had initially thought. So, the journey was postponed, and Leon spent a good twelve to thirteen hours a day sleeping or meditating, to fill his soul realm with as much magic as he could.
After filling it up with magic, he would then pull it out and allow it to course through his body, through his extremities, and back out into the world. This process of filling up and then draining his soul realm was critical, said Artorias, so Leon could get used to the feeling of being drained as well as full of power. Most other mages wouldnt need to get used to it, as such dramatic increases in power were so rare.
This also counted as a form of training, as Leon was getting faster at filling his soul realm than before. He was learning to consciously prevent magic from being fused with his blood into mana, and instead channel it into his soul realm. He was also getting faster at calling upon that power, fusing it into his blood as fast as he could.
The following week, Leon went back to weapons training. Leon had been learning from Artorias for over a decade now, and there was little Artorias had left to teach, so the training was mostly just sparring so the two of them wouldnt let their skills get rusty. But there was another reason, to fix a problem that the hunt had made Artorias keenly aware of.
When Leon was about to shoot the snow lion, it had sensed his killing intent. No real mage would ever allow their killing aura to be so obvious, but Artorias had realized then that he had never taught his son how to restrain it properly. If he had, Leon might have succeeded in killing the lion with that first shot and would not have been left severely injured after the lions counterattack.
But, this was easier said than done. Killing intent is exactly what it sounds like, just the intent and willingness to kill. However, for mages, this intent can manifest as an aura, and be extremely overwhelming to the unprepared. Unfortunately, if the mages opponent is prepared, far stronger, or possesses a more potent killing intent, then the mages own killing intent will be far less effective.
Artorias had raised Leon in a dangerous environment, where they had to hunt and kill to survive, all to instill in his son a powerful killing intent. But, he had neglected to teach Leon exactly how to control it and unleash it only at the best possible moment. This mostly comes down to keeping a tight hold over the magic that courses through the body and preventing it from leaking out.
Keeping a lid on killing intent isnt too difficult, even first-tier mages are taught how, but it still isnt a skill that is learned in a day. Artorias showed Leon a few techniques and exercises to help him restrain his killing intent, and moved on, trusting his son to practice and improve on his own.
Artorias also tested Leons knowledge of runes and the glyphs they form when arranged in magical formations. Upon seeing Leons results, he knew that his son was ready to start thinking about his own Mana Glyph.
A Mana Glyph is something that a mage creates after they reach the fifth-tier. Before then, a mage can only use magic by relying on enchantments or written spells. After reaching the fifth-tier, they are strong enough to use their magic without specific enchantments or spells, although those still have a place in any mages arsenal.
Every mage has their own Mana Glyph. They create it themselves, and it ends up inscribed at the very center of their mind palace. It is a mark that comes to represent the mage and their impact on the world. If inscribed on a weapon, it can help the weapon become more in sync with the mage, strengthening its enchantments. If a mage grows strong enough, then their Mana Glyph can even exert pressure down on someone nearby or allow the mage to control spells and enchantments remotely.
A mage can use anothers Mana Glyph if they acquire something inscribed with it and they are at least of the third-tier, allowing them to tap into some of the other mages power. High nobles who are strong enough will often give their third and fourth-tier family members weapons and spells with their Mana Glyph upon them to allow them to use magic without enchantments.
The uses of a Mana Glyph are many, given that they represent their mage, and are typically only limited by the mages imagination.
A mage needs to be at least of the fifth-tier to write their Mana Glyph, but those with inherited bloodlines are exceptions to that rule, as they so often are. The rules of magic for humans often dont quite apply to descendants of ascended beasts, as they are not entirely human themselves.
An ordinary mage creates their Mana Glyph to start work on their mind palace. A mage with an inherited bloodline can make their Glyph as soon as their blood awakens, though they still cant begin work on their mind palace until the fifth-tier.
Leon was still too weak to use a Mana Glyph in battle, even if he did make his own, but Artorias still wanted the former to start thinking about what he wanted the Glyph to be.
Mana Glyphs were usually runic symbols arranged into large circles, but could even be self-made symbols, and they often said quite a bit about the mage who made it.
For example, Artorias Glyph was the end of a long story about a mortal who sought eternal youth. He journeyed all across the world, seeking the greatest mages and wise men, consulting the most renowned sages, and the most isolated hermits. Eventually, he found what he sought; a golden apple said to bestow eternal life upon the one who ate it. The mortal raised the apple to his lips, only to have it stolen from his hand by an eagle just as he was about to take a bite.
Artorias loved that story, as it reminded him that sometimes, no matter how certain your victory might be, it can always be taken from you at any time, so one should always prepare for every eventuality.
Life in the compound went on like normal for several more weeks before the two started to prepare to travel out of the Forest of Black and White, and head for the neighboring vale. They intended to trade their furs for more food and a few items Artorias wanted.
Leon spent these few weeks meditations thinking about his Mana Glyph, though he hadnt a clue as to what it should be. Artorias told him to take his time, as it would accompany him throughout his entire life.
Neither of them had any idea that very soon, their relatively peaceful lives would come to an end.
The palace in the capital city of the Bull Kingdom had always impressed Roland Magnus. From its shining towers of white stone to its marble halls filled with gold and silver, he never failed to marvel at the great estate.
He smiled as he crossed the long bridge across the lake towards the palace. It had taken no small amount of time and effort, but he had finally managed to be appointed as the sixth paladin of the Kingdom. Typically, paladins werent appointed unless they achieved the seventh-tier of magic, but he was only a sixth-tier mage. Roland was only in his late twenties, so Prince August, who had arranged for his appointment, was able to use his great potential as justification.
Roland had been summoned by Prince August and was now on his way to meet him. This was to be his first mission as a paladin, and he was determined to live up to his new rank.
He calmly rode his horse up to the gate, while the guards there watched his approach. Roland was dressed in white formal wear, a short-sleeved silk shirt that was covered in silver runes, and cloth pants tucked into his dress shoes. His dark brown hair was cropped short, and his face was closely shorn. But all the guards saw was the sash across his chest, deep red with the golden paladin sigil, and his sword, a long blade in an ornate silver sheath.
The guard captain made a gesture, and the large iron gate began to move. It took a while for it to open, and a bit more time to lower the wards and defensive enchantments for Roland to enter, but he finally rode his steed past the six-foot-thick doors and into the royal estate. Behind the walls lay dozens of acres of forest and riding grounds. These were there for the pleasure of the king and his family, though they were devoid of human life at the moment.
Roland still felt pride as he rode along the royal road towards the guest stables. Here, even the road was worthy of being noticed. A pair of brilliant earth and fire mages had designed most of the roads in the royal capital, laying down bricks of enchanted stone, and melting them down until the seams disappeared. The road was smooth and without flaw, flanked by large trees, marble statues, and ivory archways carved into depictions of great victories by the kingdoms legions.
Roland arrived at the stable and gave them his steed. They led the horse into its designated building about a hundred feet away, and Roland began walking towards the main palace.
The palace complex was actually over a dozen different buildings, from the opulent royal apartments to the more humble guest house and the secluded royal harem, it sprawled out over the island in the middle of the lake.
Roland walked for several minutes before arriving at the main palace complex, an enormous building containing the throne room, the Assembly rooms, three courtrooms, innumerable offices, and a number of waiting rooms for visitors.
Roland walked through the large archway of polished granite and stepped into the courtyard. The floor was shiny black and white marble, with a fountain built around a large statue. The painted statue depicted a charging bull, the very same Sacred Bull that had reached the eighth-tier of magic and transformed its shape into that of a human, the progenitor of the kingdoms royal family.
The paladin walked past this fountain, and into the palace itself. The building was made of perfectly uniform white stones with a roof of red ceramic tiles. It looked like a large villa, with little defensive value, but Roland could feel the magic flowing through the walls. It would take an incredible amount of power to even scratch the surface of those white stones.
The guards at the entrance recognized him, and let him through. There, an adjutant to the fourth prince saw him and led him to Prince Augusts office. Upon arrival, Roland was immediately led into a richly decorated room with red carpets and walls lined with filled bookshelves.
Behind a large desk of dark oak sat the young prince. He wasnt conventionally handsome; a young man barely twenty with a thin body and scholarly disposition, but he carried with him a dignity that only came from royalty. His pale face looked fresh and energetic, but the slight bags under his dark brown eyes betrayed his fatigue. He absentmindedly brushed his long dirty-blonde hair away from his eyes while he finished reading the document in front of him.
A few seconds after he heard the door close, the prince looked up from his paperwork and smiled when he saw his guest. He rose from his desk, and after Roland made a respectful bow, he went over and embraced his friend. "Roland! Its good to see you, my friend! How has the capital been treating you"
"Good, Your Highness. My family has settled in well, and are enjoying the warmer climate, to be sure."
"Wonderful. If they need anything, you only need to ask, and Ill have it taken care of."
"Your Highness is too kind. We want for nothing after you made me a paladin."
"Good, good. Can I get you anything" The prince gestured at a servant in the corner who stepped forward, waiting for Rolands response.
Roland looked at the servant, and merely said, "Some water will do."
"Are you sure, we may be here a while." said the Prince.
"Im sure, Your Highness."
"Well, I wont be so reserved. Bring me some apple soda and some of those orange crackers. The ones made of baked cheese."
Roland didnt say a word, but he gave his royal friend an odd look.
"What Theyre delicious!" said the prince defensively. Roland forced himself to stifle a chuckle.
The servant bowed with a slight smile and left.
"Come now, my friend, have a seat." August and Roland took a seat in fancy mahogany chairs covered in red velvet, with a small table in between and a fireplace in front of them. They made more small talk while waiting for the servant to return. When he did, the prince dismissed him after placing a tray with what they ordered on the table.
"Now then, lets get to business."
Roland listened intently, ready to perform his duty.
"I need you to assemble a team of knights and their retainers, go north past the Frozen Mountains, and into the Northern Vales."

Beauty works from home
As the pandemic keeps salons shut, a Hong Kong start-up finds eager buyers for DIY beauty treatment products.
04 January 2021
As social-distancing rules during successive waves of COVID-19 in Hong Kong alternatively close or impose restrictions on beauty salons, many women have chosen to carry out beauty treatments themselves. This trend plays into the hands of electronic lifestyle store THEA Home Beauty.
The local start-up offers light emitting-diode (LED), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and plasma-based devices, allowing customers to give themselves a facial or perform microdermabrasion treatments from the comfort of their own homes.
Formerly known as the Artistry, THEA Home Beauty was established in 2016 by co-founders Kitty Man and Cassie Mak. Selling everything from simple crystal face rollers to LED phototherapy facemasks, the company has a shop at the Landmark mall in Hong Kong's Central business district but is currently focused on driving sales through its e-commerce platform, Ms Man said.
What led you to set up THEA Home Beauty?
As a working mum, I found myself running out of time to take care of myself and needed a more efficient beauty regime. When I purchased home-beauty products, I found that the staff weren't that knowledgeable and I'd have to read the product manual. Customer education is a very important part of our concept. At our store, people can learn about different beauty devices and what suits their skin type, lifestyle and budget. Before COVID-19, we even offered product trials so you could try before you buy.
How do the shop at the Landmark and e-commerce platform complement each other?
We like to blur the line between online and offline. But at the moment, we're trying not to drive traffic to the store due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, people can still bring a product to the shop if they have queries, and we can offer face-to-face guidance. We also offer free consultations with a beauty consultant at the store.
Why did you turn your efforts towards e-commerce?
We launched the e-commerce arm of the business this year. Even before the pandemic more people were using our online store, so that pushed our efforts online.
Your e-commerce platform ships internationally. Who are your biggest markets overseas?
We've received orders from the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, the United States and even Israel. English-speaking countries are the focus, although we do have a dual-language [English-Chinese] website. It depends on our marketing efforts – if we put Facebook ads out in a particular location, it drives sales within those regions.
How has the pandemic affected your business?
We've seen greater interest in our product offerings (even though foot traffic at the mall is very low even now) during peak gifting seasons. People are buying more online and more confident about purchasing big-ticket items digitally. The e-commerce platform has seen us reach out to a different audience that's more adventurous and willing to buy online based on our Instagram and Facebook posts.
Do you think Hong Kong women have become more willing to administer their own beauty treatments?
Definitely – a lot were reluctant before, and perhaps a bit lazy! But with salons closed, they have been forced to take matters into their own hands. Some products may cost up to HK$20,000, but that would serve you for a number of years and save making regular trips to the salon. Once you've found the right tools and identified how your skin reacts to products, it's not that difficult.
What trends do you notice in the home beauty lifestyle market?
There are more compact devices to administer salon-grade treatments such as facials. After wearing [medical] face masks for long periods of time, some customers are suffering from "mascne" (acne caused from mask wearing) and are keen to find solutions to that.
What are your bestselling items?
The Deessee LED phototherapy face mask, a favourite with Hollywood A-listers, is a bestseller, and one of my favourite products. It helps reduce fine lines and remove darker pigments, and you can use it without any discomfort. The Attibe Ultralif HIFU home- use device, which helps lift sagging jawlines, is another popular item.
What do you like about doing business in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is a very fast-paced city with a mature market that's savvy and well educated. I really love the "can do" attitude here – there's always someone ready to help.
What advice do you have for those thinking of setting up a business in the city?
It's important to get out there and meet people so you can find the right team and access the knowledge you need. Every entrepreneur needs a strong idea that's worth pursuing. I think if you have a niche, you can always find customers.
What are your plans for THEA Home Beauty over the next 12 months?
Before COVID-19, we were thinking of extending our retail presence – another store would be great for branding – but it's very difficult to make that step at the moment. We have to be realistic and stay agile so we can adapt to the market. We also intend to launch our own product lines in future and have trademarked our name.
A couple of months ago, we did some interviews via Facebook Live to help advertise the brand. It's about defining beauty in a different way. How you take care of yourself is beautiful, as is what you do. We're trying to associate the brand with strong women like female entrepreneurs or athletes and find out about their beauty regimens, and we will put out more interviews next year.
We want to encourage women to take care of themselves. Before the pandemic, many were not focusing on themselves enough. During this year, they've had more time to think about what matters to them and realise that good health is everything. Having a good beauty regime in place means you can wake up with glowing skin and feel confident.

The old woman got a bottle of fifth grade elixir from him, and she seemed to have a crooked mind, wanting to hit him again, and this was the scene where the other party followed him to a barren land.
Then he closed his eyes and began to refine the medicinal power. Seeing this scene, everyone is faces were full of shock.They finally understood that not everyone had the strength to step into that passage.
These yellow auras have an amazing binding force, and after shining on the one horned giant ape, what good for high blood pressure immediately the figure of the unicorn is blocked again.

Ye lin seemed to sense that bei he was in deep crisis, and after uttering a roaring dragon roar, a large piece of red flame spewed out of the beast is mouth, and it burned in the entire underground cave.
After he finished speaking, he looked at yan yuru again, should senior sister yan tell beimou about the legal decision to open this place yan yuru hesitated a bit, but finally came up with a formula.
At this time, I listened to bei hedao I will let ye lin join you.With the speed of this beast traveling in the sea, it should be able to reach the southern border cultivation area in a few years.

Cancer psychology is a vitally important part of cancer management. Qualitative research is a gateway to exploring this. Weighing the treatment options in terms of quality of life and survival is important. Given the globalization of healthcare seen in the last decade, the exploration of the decision-making process in a developing nation was deemed highly appropriate. The aim is to explore the thoughts of surgical colleagues and care providing clinicians about patient decision-making in cancer care in developing countries, with special reference to India. The secondary objective was to identify factors that may have a role to play in decision-making in India. A prospective qualitative study. The exercise was carried out at Kiran Mazumdhar Shah Cancer Center. The hospital is a tertiary referral center for cancer services in the city of Bangalore, India. A qualitative study by methodology, a focus group discussion was undertaken with the members of the head and neck tumor board. The results showed, in India, decision-making is predominantly led by the clinicians and the patient's family members. A number of factors play an important role in the decision-making process. These include as follows: health outcome measures (quality of life, health-related quality of life), clinician factors (knowledge, skill, expertise, judgment), patient factors (socio-economic, education, cultural), nursing factors, translational research, and resource infrastructure. Important themes and outcomes emerged from the qualitative study. As modern healthcare moves towards a patient-centered care approach, evidence-based patient choice and patient decision-making clearly have a greater role to play, and the cultural and practical issues demonstrated in this article must be considered.

For illustration purposes, I've put up a sample HTML table at
(sorry for the munging) that shows a typical arrangement for a printed
table. I used <th> for the row and column headings. If I were using axis and
id attributes, I'd put them in these cells and refer to them in header
attributes. But I'm not sure what to do about the cell reading "Countries"
or about the cell reading "Population". These are more or less
"meta-headers". Should they be <th> as well? Should they have axis, header,
and id attributes? Or should they be left as plain vanilla <td>? (The
*appearance* of these cells, of course, is to be handled by CSS.)

Former Greek Defence Minister Panagiotis "Panos" Kammenos posted an icon of Saint Nicholas with no caption or text on Twitter yesterday.
— Panos Kammenos (@PanosKammenos) July 21, 2020
However Aris Roussinos, an award-winning journalist who formerly worked for VICE, had a keen eye and highlighted the significance of Kammenon posting an icon of Saint Nicholas.
"Greece's former defence minister under the SYRIZA-ANEL coalition posts an icon of St Nicholas, patron saint of the Hellenic Navy, as tensions mount in the Aegean," he said on Twitter.

Turkish resource surveys to the south and east of the Greek island of Aegean were to commence yesterday and will occur until August 2, Attaleia (Ἀττάλεια, Turkish: Antalya) NAVTEX hydrographic service in Turkey announced.
It has been declared by Ankara that the research ship 'Oruc Reis' would sail in the area and for this reason the Greek armed forces have been put on high alert throughout the territory.
According to German media, German Chancellor Angela Merkel intervened and has for now diffused the situation with the 'Oruc Reis' remaining in port.
This was due to Greece's strong response and preparedness for conflict with Turkey if it chose to violate Greek maritime space. The navy was put on high alert.
Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of Greece and the protector of sailors and seamen, hence why he is also the patron saint of the Greek Navy.
The message by Kammenos was loud and clear for those who could decipher it. It is likely Kammenos had the Greek navy in his prayers and for Saint Nicholas to protect all navy personnel during this period of high hostilities created by Turkish aggression.
Concern is heightened by the fact that Ankara appear to be pursuing polarisation options on all fronts in the Eastern Mediterranean. In Libya, it seems that Egypt is determined to intervene in the event that Turkish-backed forces attempt to occupy the city of Sirte or strike al-Jufra. Turkey continues to occupy large areas of northern Syria and Cyprus, and continues its aggression against Greece.

Eight organic agricultural stakeholders in the European Union have been awarded in the inaugural edition of the 27-member bloc's Organic Awards.
The awards were announced during the celebrations of E.U. Organic Day. Major E.U. institutions supported the events to promote an organic approach to agriculture while promoting biodiversity and its Farm-to-Fork Strategy.
These winners inspire those working to make our food and farming system more sustainable.
From innovative mushroom cultivation and propagation techniques in Spain to bio-intensive gardens on ancient Croatian farms, the awards rewarded specific farmers, projects and organic retailers.
Entire regions where organic agriculture thrives were awarded, too. Occitania, a region of southwestern France, earned the award for the best organic region, while Cilento, the first of Italy's so-called "bio districts," received a homonymous award. Incidentally, both are home to many organic olive groves.
See Also:Italy Investing €3B to Convert a Quarter of Farm Land to Organic by 2027
A jury of representatives from various institutions, including COPA-COGECA, a farmers' union, and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), nominated the award winners.
"These winners, and those shortlisted, inspire those working to make our food and farming system more sustainable, using organic's potential," Eduardo Cuoco, IFOAM Europe's director, said. "Some of the awards' criteria were based on the holistic principles of organic-care, health, ecology and fairness."
Among the drivers of the Organic Day celebrations is the ambitious goal set by the European Commission to have 25 percent of its agricultural land under organic farming regimes by 2030.
Some of the most relevant olive oil-producing countries are heading in that direction. According to data from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, nearly 11 percent of usable agricultural land in the country is under organic regimes.
Furthermore, agricultural land under organic cultivation increased by 16 percent in 2021. The surface area of organic olive groves in the country also rose by 16 percent, reaching 256,510 hectares.
In Italy, more than 17 percent of the country's usable agricultural land is under organic regimes, according to the Federation for Organic Producers (FederBio).
However, reaching the 2030 goal will require a substantial acceleration in conversion to organic practices in many countries.
According to IFOAM, 14 million hectares – 9 percent – of agricultural land was under organic regimes across the European Union in 2019. Between 2014 and 2019, the amount of organic agricultural surface area in the bloc increased by 8.6 percent per annum.
"Based on these scenarios, the 25 percent by 2030 target is challenging but achievable and would require a three to five-fold increase in expenditure," IFOAM said.
In E.U., more than 340,000 farmers have adopted or converted to organic regimes and are responsible for more than €38.8 billion in retail sales. About 3.2 percent of agricultural retail sales come from organic products.
"Today, we celebrate organic production, a sustainable type of agriculture where food production is done in harmony with nature, biodiversity and animal welfare," said Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski while introducing the inaugural E.U. organic day.
"I am glad that together with the European Parliament, the Council and key actors of this sector, we get to launch this annual E.U. organic day, a great opportunity to raise awareness of organic production and promote the key role it plays in the transition to sustainable food systems."

Super models
The latest in statistical prognostications
By The Economist | WASHINGTON
But not this week. The first entry comes from sabermatrician (it's a baseball thing) Nate Silver. Mr Silver uses a brute force method, incorporating reams and reams of data to run simulations, leading to a best guess of the electoral outcome. His site is the go-to projection spot for many Washington political journalists. At present, Mr Silver's computations give the edge to Barack Obama, 293 electoral votes to 245. He also puts the odds of an Obama landslide at about 17%, compared to 6% for John McCain.
A competitor of Mr Silver's earned headlines this week with a rival methodology. Sam Wang, of the Princeton Election Consortium doesn't produce projections, per se, but instead uses a snapshot of recent state polls to create an electoral probability distribution. The headlines were due to the outcome—Mr Wang's distribution predicts an Obama electoral win with 99% certainty. Hard to imagine a race cast by the media as close could be that not-close, but that, according to Mr Wang is what the current numbers imply. What's more, the result has not varied much at all in recent weeks, despite the continually changing nature of the snapshot used.
Finally, Felix Salmon posts a map representing a prediction related to one discussed last time. Our previous post cited InTrade's prices for presidential victory contracts. Mr Salmon's chart, by contrast, predicts the winner based on contract prices for each state. The outcome? Mr Obama over Mr McCain 306 to 227.
As always, there are caveats galore. But so far, our model of models estimates that Mr Obama will earn victory with a probability between 50 and 99%.

When you intend on purchasing a mattress, the ample variety of options available in the market can leave you in an excessive state. So an useful way out to proceed with your choice is to identify the attributes that each mattress bids. Here are a few primary mattress types for you to search for the best fit:

These mattresses are top-rated for their contouring holdings and top-level density. They stand excellent for side sleepers who can not part ways with their side of the bed. It also serves appropriate for individuals who can not afford to toss and turn on their beds once in a while owing to their conditions such as joint discomfort, and so on.

Slow cooker chicken in a honey and mustard sauce, with squash and kale.
Melt in the mouth slow cooker chicken, a sweet and creamy sauce with a mustardy bite, tender chunks of squash. And lets not forget arguably the king of all vegetables, kale. Whats not to love?!
I adore my slow cooker. As a busy mum that still wants to feed my family well I use it often, even during the summer. In a recipe like this one it guarantees that the chicken is beautifully moist and soft. Suitable even for little mouths that are challenged in the teeth department. In fact I find it hard to get chicken into Ayla unless it is slow cooked.
It also means that on especially busy days you can just do a bit of easy prep work in the morning. Then set the slow cooker to work and at dinner time there will be a nutritious meal waiting for you. If you don't have a slow cooker you can easily cook it in the oven instead. Prepare it as per the recipe except use a casserole dish instead of the slow cooker. Loosely cover with foil and cook at 180°C for an hour and a half.
This recipe is ridiculously quick and simple to prepare, and you can mix it up with whatever veggies you have. You can replace the butternut or pumpkin with any squash or even sweet potato, and the kale with broccoli or spinach as I often do. Mushrooms would be lovely. If you do use broccoli, spinach or mushrooms add them 25 minutes before the end of cooking time instead of the beginning as neither are as hardy as the kale and would turn to mush if cooked for so long.
It's one of our family favourites that we look forwards to every week, healthy and delicious. I bet you will enjoy it too, bon appetit!
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on or removed depending on your own preference (we're a skin on family)
- 200g of peeled and deseeded butternut squash or pumpkin, chopped into large chunks
- 150g kale, stem removed and roughly chopped
- 2tbsp creme fraiche
- 1tbsp clear honey
- 1tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 chicken stock cube, dissolved into 150ml of boiling water
- 1tsp dried thyme
- Black pepper
- Cornflour to thicken
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and fry skin side down for about 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and starting to go crispy. (If you remove the skin this step isn't necessary.)
- Put the stock, creme fraiche, honey and mustard into the slow cooker and stir until combined.
- Add the pumpkin, kale, thyme and a twist of black pepper and mix. (It will seem like there is not enough liquid but don't worry, as the kale, squash and chicken cook they will release some more juices.)
- Nestle the browned chicken, skin side up, into the veg a little, then programme the slow cooker for 4 hours.
- When the cooking time is up, remove the chicken *gently, it will fall off the bone* mix a teaspoon of cornflour with some cold water and add to the sauce to thicken. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
- The chicken thighs can either be added back to the sauce whole (for the adults) or shredded (for the little ones.)
Serve over rice or with mashed or boiled and buttered potatoes.
I would love to hear from you, please share photos of your creations on my Instagram page or contact me by email.

Every time you take one path, you must live with the memory of the other: of a life left unchosen. Decide as seems best, one course or the other; each way will have its bitter with its sweet.
Last winter, I read The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden, a lyrical novel-length fairy tale set in medieval Russia. With its chilling descriptions of harsh cold and deep Russian winters, it was a perfect thing to read on freezing January nights. The Girl in the Tower continues the story of Bear's protagonist, Vasya. There is no sophomore slump or middle-book problem here; I loved this book as much as I loved the first. The author retains the lyrical style present in the first book, but does not simply repeat its plot or main conflict, instead presenting a new, tense situation for Vasya to navigate.
Western fairy tales typically involve a beautiful maiden of humble origins marrying a handsome prince and living happily ever after. In medieval Russia, that is the goal of every Russian lady: to marry well and make babies. If marriage is not agreeable, they are resigned to a life in a convent.
Vasya, however, has no interest in becoming some man's broodmare and being locked away in a castle or convent for the rest of her life. The Girl in the Tower is largely about Vasya's struggle for freedom against the gender restrictions of her time. But with pagan spirits, witches, sorcery, ghosts, a frost demon psychopomp, and a really cool horsey.
You don't have to be a hardcore fantasy fan to appreciate this series. It's got plenty of stuff for fans of more general historical fiction: (1) a young girl fighting against the (very) limited roles for females in this medieval society (2) rural pagan beliefs against the spreading influence of Christianity (3) and a more-or-less accurate picture of medieval Russian culture. If those sorts of things interest you and you can tolerate some supernatural elements, you might enjoy this novel.
You do not HAVE to read Bear and the Nightingale before you read this, but I highly recommend it. It is not like The Lord of the Rings Trilogy which is one big story split up into 3 books. Each of the books in this series has a clearly defined, independent conflict and resolution. However, a lot of the worldbuilding and characters are introduced in Bear, so readers may be a bit lost if they just dive into this book without reading Bear first. I would liken it to trying to watch The Empire Strikes Back without first seeing A New Hope.
If you read Bear but did not care for it, I would still recommend that you give this book a try. Vasya is a little older, the conflicts are a little different, and Arden has matured a little bit as a writer. Fans of Mulan should definitely give this book a try as it is basically…well…Mulan. Kinda.
Although I refer to this book as a fairy tale, I should make it clear that it's for mature audiences. There is violence, sexual violence, threats of sexual violence, and other things that are not really suited for young kids.
My rating: 5 stars

Video: "Why Hayden Christensen Played Anakin PERFECTLY – Star Wars Explained"
From Star Wars Theory:
"Hayden gets the most hate in Star Wars because of his role in the prequels (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith). I think he played him perfectly, and here's why… He was supposed to be monotone, moody, and confused. He was supposed to be numb and callous. Everything someone who's depressed, held back, and emotionally beaten coming from a life of slavery should be. I can't see anyone else playing Anakin now."
0 Comments
"emotionally beaten coming from a life"
Oh, please. He wasn't "emotionally beaten" as a slave. He was kind, selfless and optimistic, as everyone can see in TPM. That's what Lucas wanted. To show how someone so kind and good could have fallen.
I'm all for justifying and appreciating Hayden's acting and approach to the character, but let's not make up false attributes. Or at least not appeal to any sort of victimization of his less than ideal life condition as a kid. The character never felt that way (nor his mother). And that's one of their strengths.

White German Shepherd Husky Mix
The white German shepherd Husky mix is a hybrid dog that is interbreeding of the White German shepherd and a Siberian Husky.
Hybrid breeds are an amalgamation of two purebred breeds of the dog along with the white German breed of shepherd will not disappoint.
This breed offers all the benefits of the white German shepherd as well as the Siberian Husky, with its stunning pure color as well as the mix of outstanding traits that each possesses. If you read on, you'll find the most crucial information about the white German shepherd Huskyinformation.
The history of the white German Shepherd Husky Mix
- The white German shepherd.
All the way to the year 1899, in Rhineland, Max Von Stephanitz, and a companion. Arthur Meyer was seeking a "super" dog to take part with him in the German All-Breed Dog Show.
They were in need of an extremely intelligent and powerful dog that was disciplined and found Horvand von Grafrath or "Hector." Hector is considered the patriarchal figure of German shepherds.
Though Hector was gray and yellow and had a recessive white gene. Recessive refers to the fact that it determines the character or color.
In the past, the herding dogs like Kuvasz and the Great Pyrenees were used to herd sheep. Kuvasz or the Great Pyrenees would be employed to entrap sheep.
Herdsman chose white dogs as they were easy to distinguish from European Wolf breeds with dark coats. Therefore, they were dogs with white coats the ones that German shepherds used to herd sheep.
In 1912 in 1912, the white German shepherds came into America and registered with the American Kennel Club in 1917.
In Germany during the 1940s in the 1940s, the Nazi party was against the reproduction of white German shepherds.
They believed that the genetic issues resulted from the white gene in some German shepherds.
They also believed that the lack of dark pigment in dogs is caused by the white gene disappearing, causing the typical dark and black color of shepherds.
It is reported that coated white German shepherds" puppies" who were born in the litter have been killed. However, white German shepherds still exist in Germany at present.
There aren't any records since they aren't allowed to be registered within that country. Germans considered that the albino gene recessive causes that white hue.
In dogs, albinism is not common. If the white German shepherds were albino, they would have eyes that were pink and contained no pigment and their skin wouldn't be as pigmented.
In puppies that are born to parents with dark-colored eyes as well as skin, the pigment is present throughout the entire puppy's life.
To determine your shepherd's health condition or DNA test, go to this Emark Vet website to get all the assistance you'll need.
- Siberian husky.
Canines all descend from the wolves that existed way back in time. A lot of people compare the Siberian Husky to the wolf, and while there is a small resemblance, however, this is the point at which the comparison stops.
Huskies are extremely social and wolves are the opposite wandering in wild, and steering away from humans.
The color of the eyes in huskies could be light brown, brown, a variety of shades of green, blue, or even the eyes with a distinct shade. They have eyes that are yellow and this is an identifiable characteristic.
The Siberian Husky was born in the region of eastern Siberia near Alaska. The dogs were vital to the Chukchis, an Eskimo tribe whose survival was dependent on Huskies carrying supplies to various villages as well as aiding in scenting trails for hunters. The Huskies also lived with family members and played alongside children.

- HistoryIt is believed that the Shepsky dog breed could have been a natural breed throughout time, but it was not until designer breeders began deliberately combing German Shepherd and Siberian Husky in the latter part of 1990 probably within North America.Breeders wanted to mix two breeds of their parents to create a super-hybrid working dog. They kept creating Shepskies when demand for mixed breed pups increased.
Although the Shepsky breed started out as a breed for designers, certain breeds have ended up in shelters or being cared for by rescue organizations. You might consider adopting if you think that this breed is what you want.

Try to be in control at times.
In this situation, it's crucial not to fall for their naiveté. Make yourself a leader by confirming the rules of the game with clarity and coherence.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on countries to work together to create a climate resilient world.
"Amongst other things, we should ensure that as we transit to a more climate resilient future, it must be based on a just transition that ensures that those who are most vulnerable in society do not get left behind," President Ramaphosa said on Thursday.
Addressing the Leaders' Summit on Climate, the President emphasised the importance of advancing all three of the goals of the Paris Agreement – mitigation, adaptation and finance with equal determination and ambition.
The President said there must be a massive drive to scale up support in the form of financing, technology and capacity building, so that developing economies, including those in Africa, are able to enhance ambition on adaptation and mitigation.
"It is important that aid on climate change should be provided separately, and should not be part of conventional development assistance. When it is given in the form of loan financing, the debt burden of developing countries is worsened," said President Ramaphosa in his virtual address.
He encouraged developed economies, which historically bear the greatest responsibility for emissions, to meet their responsibilities to developing economies.
"This will be vital to restoring the bonds of trust between developed and developing economies. Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time.
"It is a global phenomenon to which developing economies are particularly vulnerable. Without effective adaptation, climate change has the potential to reverse the developmental gains in our countries, and push millions of people further into poverty."
President Ramaphosa said poor countries have historically contributed the least to emissions.
"Developing countries often suffer the most from the devastating effects of climate change in the form of drought, extreme storms and rising sea levels.
"Consequently, developed economies have a responsibility to support developing economies to enable them to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Significant progress can be made when we all honour our mutual commitments," he said.
He also noted the importance of multilateralism in ensuring the full implementation of the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Taking action
"South Africa is fully committed to enhancing its ambition and accelerating its climate actions. Last year we finalised our National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, coordinating adaptation actions at all levels of government," the President said.
In addition, the country has adopted a Low Emissions Development Strategy in pursuit of a just transition to a low-carbon, sustainable, and climate resilient development pathway.
"We are currently in the process of updating South Africa's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Our new NDC target ranges have been released for public consultation.
"The new target ranges we are proposing are much more ambitious in two respects. First, the top of the 2030 range has been reduced by 28%, or 174 million metric tons, a very significant reduction," the President said.
According to South Africa's previous NDC, the emissions would peak and plateau in 2025, and decline only from 2035.
"South Africa's emissions will begin to decline from 2025, effectively shifting our emissions decline 10 years earlier," said the President.
With regard to the country's energy resources, South Africa plans to build capacity to generate over 17 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.
"We remain committed to contributing our fair share to reduce global emissions, and to do so in the context of overcoming poverty, inequality and underdevelopment," said President Ramaphosa.
