Does Hearing Loss Require You To Seek Long or Short Term Disability Benefit?
Our disability insurance attorneys know that hearing impairment is far more than a loss of the ability to hear. We have an expansive understanding of the restrictions and limitations that a person suffering with hearing impairment must live with on a daily basis. If you need assistance gaining the disability benefits you deserve for your hearing impairment, we can help by filling out your initial application for long-term disability benefits in addition to appealing or filing a lawsuit of your denied disability claim. Disability carriers will often argue that a person should still be able to work even though they have loss of hearing or a reduced ability to hear. We have seen arguments where the insurance company tells a person to get better hearing aid devices. We have also seen arguments stating that the claimant can still use a computer and does not need to hear anybody in order to do their job. Hearing loss does not automatically qualify someone for disability benefits; therefore a claimant must have guidance in order to properly present their claim to the disability insurance company. Our disability lawyers will work closely with you and your treating physicians. We know what the disability carriers must see in order to approve a claim or reverse a disability denial. Hearing loss is often associated with balance disorders, which provide further complications preventing a person from being able to work. There are many objective test available which can prove that a claimant has hearing loss.
What are the Different Hearing Impairment Classifications?
There are different types and varying degrees of hearing loss. Hearing loss is classified according to which part of the auditory system is affected. Contact our firm if you have any questions regarding your ability to gain disability benefits if you are experiencing serious hearing impairment.
Generally, hearing loss can be categorized into three different types:
- Conductive hearing loss is the result of disorders in either the outer or middle ear, which may prevent sound from getting to the inner ear.
- Sensorineural hearing loss is a hearing impairment that occurs when the inner ear nerves are unable to properly transmit signals to the brain or become severely damaged.
- When individuals have both conductive and sensorineural hearing impairment, it is classified as mixed hearing loss.
Ménière's Disease and Tinnitus as Disability Conditions
The most common types of disabling hearing impairments include Ménière's disease and tinnitus. Ménière's disease is a disorder in which the inner ear causes abnormal sensory perceptions. You may be experiencing this type of hearing loss if you have such symptoms as:
- Vertigo, or a sensation of a spinning
- Hearing loss usually in one ear
- Fullness or pressure in the same ear
- Ringing in the same ear, called tinnitus
You can read our section on Ménière's disease to learn more about this disabling condition.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the head when no outside sound is present. It is typically referred to as "ringing in the ears." Tinnitus can be a symptom of a condition that causes hearing impairment, or it can exist without any hearing loss. We have helped numerous clients that have been disabled as a result of tinnitus. Most tinnitus claimants also complain of headaches as well.

I am a 59 year old executive that has been suffering from increasing levels of hearing loss. At the time that I noticed and accepted my hearing problem about 8 years ago, I was tested by an ENT physician to determine the degree of hearing loss and also underwent an MRI test to rule out a brain tumor as a possible cause. The MRI test was negative and I declined to get hearing aids at that time.
Follow a continued decline in my hearing ability, I accepted my first hearing aids 5 years ago. As my hearing declined further, I upgraded to more powerful units 1 year ago.
About 2 years ago, I saw another ENT physician and underwent a more rigorous test. This concluded a material amount of comprehension decline in addition to outright hearing loss. The diagnosis conclude that the hearing loss was likely the result of my genetic history and the condition is expected to worsen.
I am in a high performing work environment at a fortune 500 company with a company health care plan. On a daily basis I encounter significant difficulty in understanding my co-workers and my work product is suffering as a result.
It is not uncommon for me to ask people to repeat themselves, sometime multiple times. I am often in a meeting setting where it isn't practical to ask someone to repeat themselves. As a result, I miss a great deal of meeting content and my work product is suffering significantly.
I have not inquired about long term disability but am at a point where I believe that is necessary. My research on the subject suggests a very high degree of hearing loss to qualify for disability, perhaps more than I am experiencing.
At this point I am looking for advice on the likelihood of success should I go down the disability insurance path.
Please feel free to contact our office to discuss what your options would be for filing disability. It would be helpful if you had a copy of your company policy, as any potential claim will be dictated by the definitions and any limitations contained therein.
Hi My name is Alex Kross and I'm currently working at T-Mobile retail store and I have been with the company for 8.5 years. I have severe hearing loss on both ears. My hearing loss is down to 36%. I can no longer assist customers in a retail store (loud environment). Reading lips does not work for me anymore. I need help finding out what my rights are. I don't want to get fired from T-Mobile for not meeting my expectations because of my severe hearing loss. I'm a father of two wonderful boys and I want to be able to secure my income to provide them. I have contacted my human resource Representative about my situation and he said he will try to help me find the solution. It has been two days and every day I go to work my stress level is climbing to the roof. Please help me with my situation. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message.
If you have disability insurance coverage through T-Mobile you can consider filing a claim for benefits under the policy.
I am 57 years old and have suffered with Tinnitus my entire life. I recently went to an Audiologist for the first time in over 45 years. She told me I had a severe hearing loss in my left ear (at the higher frequencies) and a moderate in my right. When she asked me if I was suffering any of the side affects I didn't know as I have had this to a degree my entire life. I am a highly anxious person and have had bouts with depression.
My job requires that I communicate with Flight crews of large transport category aircraft as an Aircraft Dispatcher. I am jointly responsible with the Captain of that flight to ensure all safety issues are met. Since flight crews have to pass a flight physical which includes some fairly stringent standards for hearing, isn't it reasonable to expect the responsible party on the ground to meet the same hearing requirements?
Thanks for your time.
One would assume, but we would not know the requirements. If you are covered under a disability insurance policy and your condition is impacting/preventing you from working it would seem that under your fact pattern you would have a viable claim for benefits.
James, i have been wearing hearing aids since 1989. I work offshore on a drilling rig. I recently took a demotion to a job out side. Before i was in a office and was able to wear hearing aids. Now that i'm outside. I'm not able to wear my hearing aids due to loud noises and and that company has a policy about wearing ear plugs outside. I have short and long term disability.
Thomas, please feel free to contact our office to discuss your policies with you to determine how we may be able to assist you in filing for benefits.
I have moderate/severe hearing loss and unbearable tinnitus that is getting worse. I work for a large insurance company and have both long & short term disability coverage. My new job requires constant phone interaction and I feel I can no longer work with customers on the phone. I will be seeing a hearing specialist tomorrow. Any suggestions?
Ted, if you are eligible for benefits under your employer's policies then you can certainly explore the possibility of applying for benefits under same. If you do not feel you can continue to work it may benefit you to have a conversation with your doctor as to same. Please feel free to contact use to discuss further.
Is progressive hearing loss considered a preexisting condition and would it be covered under short term and long term disability?
Judy, pre-existing conditions relate to policy provisions pertaining to length of coverage/employment. If you have worked for your company or been covered under the disability plan for less than a year and you had treatment for the hearing loss in the months before employment/coverage, then yes it could be. Please feel free to contact our office to discuss any questions as we would be able to better ascertain your options under your policy.
My LTD policy misfiled/did not file my medical proof. My benefits were denied and one appeal allowed. I certified mailed the proof off fax dated 2 days before the due date. They had a review a week ago but I do not know the result. Do they have 45 to 90 days to let me know? ERISA policy. The policy has a provision if "clerical" error by company will not deny benefits that would have been paid.
Margareta, if the carrier is considering the information an appeal they will have 45 days with the right to a 45 day extension. However, if they are only reviewing the information to determine eligibility (as they did not have it when it was denied) then it may only take a couple weeks. Has anyone from the company discussed the nature of the review with you yet?
Mr. Jessup, I am looking for an attorney to take my case that is similar to Paul above. With all due respect your answers to the questions on this page say very little to indicate your expertise with respect to hearing loss. "Call our office to discuss" is what every disability in the world wants and therefore this comment section is of little value. Just my opinion…
Greg, although we do respect your opinion as to the information we provide as being of little value to you, we are unfortunately not always in a position to provide in depth analysis or as complete an answer as someone would like in a comment section. Without knowing anything about your medical status or policy information I am not quite sure what information we could provide you.
Ultimately, the best way to determine if we can be of assistance, and certainly the most time efficient way to determine same, is with a phone call/consultation. We have utilized Skype, or similar applications, to allow for clients to read lips or type in real time – depending on the level of hearing impairment. As always, we offer a free initial consultation.
Due to progressive hearing loss, chronic pain at my implant site, and clicking in my ear, I am considering applying for disability. I am a 50 year old teacher and my hearing interferes with my ability to do my best work. The main thing I am wondering is what is the cost for your attorney service? (I know the first consultation is free.) I am hopeful that your transparency will help me decide whether or not to utilize your services.
Thank you.
Susan, I am sorry to hear of your issues. We typically work on a contingency fee whereby if we are successful in getting you on claim, our fee will be a reasonable percentage of your benefit each time you receive a benefit from the insurance company. We do whatever it takes to get you on claim and keep you on claim. Please feel free to call our office for a free consultation and for more information.
I'm 58, I was recently diagnosed with a profound hearing loss in both ears and tinitus. Hearing aids are on order and required per my ENT. My hearing loss currently impacts my job performance, I work full time for a major firm in NYC. Some of this hearing stems back to my military jobs (Morse Code). I'm 58 now. I just applied for VA benefits, which will take time. re: My job, UNUM is our short and longterm disability carrier. I'm not sure what to do legally. The said I should take time off and consider disability.
Ben, please feel free to contact our office to discuss your situation, and to review your policies with Unum to better advise you as to what you can expect in making the application.
Three years I had acoustic neuroma surgery leaving me completely deaf in one ear. Would I be eligible for long term disability benefits? I am still employed even though the hearing loss causes some issues.
Sharnel, it depends on your disability insurance coverage. In order to qualify for benefits you are required to meet very specific term and conditions which you will only find in your disability insurance policy.

The Sears Holding Corporation was formed in the year 2004 when the management of Kmart Holding Corporation decided to purchase Sears, Roebuck and Co. After the complete merger in 2005, both Kmart and Sears stores were operated under their own brand names.
Things started going downhill since 2011 and there was no stopping it. The company failed to realise the importance of the internet and turned a dead-eye towards it. As a result, sales began to drop drastically and their only option was to get loans. Even after obtaining large sums of money, the stocks or profit never went up. Why? Because of outdated strategies and lethargic attitude towards marketing the brand. The money was exhausted in meaningless extensions and investments when it should have been used for expanding their e-commerce presence.
Another speculation for its injury can be the mountainous load of debt. The money never seemed to be there to carry out even the most basic of services. Improvements made using the loan money did not perform well enough and therefore, the organisation had to get more money. With increasing losses and near to nothing resources, the corporation was bound to hit rock bottom soon. Loyal customers were only able to keep the company functioning till 2015, where it was named the 20th largest retailing company in the country. But, by then the water had risen high above their heads. The company was paralyzed immensely and it is not wrong to say that the sears holding corporation had … Read More

History of Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum
On the 12th of February 1858, Henry Cole, the founding director of the South Kensington Museum, recorded in his diary: 'Museum: Queen &c came to private view of the Photographic Socy, being the first exhibition in the Refreshment upper room'. The exhibition was not only the first to take place in that part of the museum. It was in fact the first exhibition of photographs to be held in any museum. Consisting of 1009 photographs, it was organised by the Photographic Society of London and included approximately 250 contributions from its French counterpart, the Société française de photographie.
As the Museum's official photographer, Charles Thurston Thompson recorded the 1858 display with his camera, creating the earliest known photograph of a photographic exhibition. The view shows a densely-packed display of a wide range of subject matter, including portraits, landscapes, architectural views and reproductions of works of art, with even more photographs viewable through stereoscopes crammed onto tables in the middle of the room.
Today, the V&A (as the South Kensington Museum came to be called) holds numerous photographs shown in the 1858 exhibition. Three of these works are visible in Thompson's view: William Lake Price's Don Quixote in his Study, Roger Fenton's Head of Homer and Thompson's own Oak, Albury Park, Surrey. Other photographs in the V&A Collection that were also shown at the time but do not appear in the Thompson image include works by such major 19th-century photographers as Gustave Le Gray, Edouard Baldus and Francis Frith. The images below were all featured in the 1858 exhibition.
Added to this is the History of Photography collection
Featuring classic, modern and contemporary photographs, this display outlines the history of the medium and includes work by some of the most influential figures to use photography as a creative art. It also illustrates the wide variety of styles, subject matter and processes that can be seen in the V&A collection
And occasional exhibitions,such as :
Curtis Moffat: Experimental Photography and Design, 1923–1935
Curtis Moffat, 'Abstract Composition',
Curtis Moffat created dynamic abstract photographs, innovative colour still-lives and some of the most glamorous society portraits of the early 20th century. He was also a pivotal figure in Modernist interior design.
Moffat was born in New York in 1887. He studied painting there and then in Paris, and in 1916 he married the English actress and poet Iris Tree, daughter of the actor Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. While in Paris, Moffat collaborated with Man Ray, producing portraits and abstract 'photograms', or 'rayographs'.
Moving to London in the mid 1920s, Moffat opened an interior design company and gallery in Fitzroy Square. The company sold Modernist furniture by some of the best designers of the day, as well as African sculpture. It was here, throughout the 1920s and early 1930s, that Moffat also produced stylish photographic portraits of leading figures in high society and the arts. The enterprise closed in 1933, largely due to the Depression.
Bill Brandt
"Brandt's pictures survive and enter the memory because they were constructed by an artist." David Hockney
The V&A celebrates the centenary of the birth of Bill Brandt (1904-1983), Britain's best-loved photographer of modern times, with a stunning retrospective. With over 150 mainly vintage, gelatin-silver prints from the Bill Brandt Archive, the exhibition displays the finest selection of his rare and famous prints to be seen in Britain for over thirty years.
Bill Brandt remains one of the pre-eminent photographers of the 20th Century. His career as a photographer began in Vienna in 1928, before he moved to Paris where he assisted Man Ray. He settled in London in 1931 and became the great documentarian of British cultural and social life, exposing the vivid contrasts in society between the World Wars.

If motorcyclists get in an accident, they are more likely to get hurt than those in a car, which is why safety is so important.
Seeing motorcyclists on Illinois roads is not uncommon during the warmer months. However, being on a bike can be dangerous. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, in a year's time there were 27 times more deaths per mile traveled for those who drove motorbikes than those in a four-wheeled vehicle. Everyone on the road can play a part in decreasing motorcycle-related deaths, including the riders themselves.
Drive defensively
There are a lot of hazards that bikers face, but other drivers represent one of the biggest dangers. In accidents that involve a car and a motorcycle, the car driver is at fault 60 percent of the time states Consumer Reports. For this reason, motorcyclists need to remain alert. Riders should avoid tailgating, watch for cars switching lanes and stay out of blind spots.
Be aware of the conditions
Bikers need to know when sand is on the road, where potholes are and when bad weather is approaching. These obstacles, which are minimal for those in a covered vehicle, can be life threatening when on a two-wheeled vehicle. Drivers should always check the weather forecast before going out, and keep their eyes on the road ahead to better prepare for potential hazards.
Find the right bike
Some riders may want to buy a big, fast bike. However, it is important that everyone find a ride that fits them well. This could mean starting out with a model that has a 250- to 300-cc engine rather than something larger. While a big motor is not always a bad thing, it can make a motorcycle harder to handle.
Bikers should also take the time to make sure their new mode of transportation fits them well. Getting a bike that is too heavy, tall or long can make driving a lot harder. As people shop for a new Harley or Ducati, a few tests should be done before making a purchase, including the following:
- Sit on the bike, and keep both feet flat on the ground.
- Move the motorbike off of the kickstand.
- Reach for the handlebars and all of the important controls.
If any of these tasks cannot be completed with ease by the rider, the motorcycle might not be right.
Wear protective gear
Finally, motorcyclists can increase their own safety by wearing the proper protective gear. Most people realize that wearing a helmet is a good way to keep their heads safe i n case of a collision, but wearing gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirts and pants can be just as important. For example, if a bike tips over onto someone's foot, a boot might guard against broken bones and excessive cuts.
Driving on a motorcycle in Illinois, or anywhere, can be dangerous. If an accident does take place, it may be beneficial to talk with a knowledgeable attorney.

Nearly 1 in 4 children in West Virginia live in a household that is food insecure, meaning they don't know where their next meal is coming from. Without adequate access to food, these children are at risk for health problems, obesity, nutrient deficiencies and difficulties with learning and discipline that can echo throughout a lifetime.
New in 2018, the United Way of Southern West Virginia partnered with the West Virginia Department of Education Office of Child Nutrition to bring awareness to the issue of child hunger over the summer months and to support a thriving summer feeding program in Southern West Virginia.
We hosted information sessions about sponsoring a Summer Feeding Site, connected individual volunteers to sites needing assistance, hosted trainings for Summer Feeding Site sponsors, and provided seed money for those wishing to start up a new summer feeding site. Through our Special Project Mini Grant program funded through our Alexis de Tocqueville Society, agencies wishing to start a new
summer feeding site OR continue an existing site are able to apply for up to $1,000 to supplement their budget. More information on Special Project Mini Grant Application requirements can be found at https://unitedwayswv.org/special-project-mini-grant/.

A 15-year-old boy with autism who went missing earlier this week in Georgia was found dead in a small pond 300 feet from his home, the Pike County Sheriff said on May 9.
Ephraim Moisey Burgreen went missing from Madden Bridge road in Molena on Wednesday at about 5 p.m., and 100 volunteers joined the search for him, including his mother. The investigators said no foul play was suspected to be involved, reported 11 Alive.
Pike County officials launched the extensive search that included a sheriff's office drone and the Spalding County Sheriff's Office helicopter, according to PikeCountyGeorgia.comView image on Twitter

Officers on horseback also searched the area for him, but the teen was not found until 10:49 p.m., after two dogs trained by the army were sent to look for him.
The dogs finally led the police to the small pond that's only waist deep. Pike County Fire Chief Rick O'Barr told 11 Alive that Ephraim liked to play at the pond.
"We sent a team to see if we could get a boat into the pond and while looking for a way to get in, discovered his body in the middle of the pond," said Pike County Fire Department public information officer Anita Neath, according to PikeCountyGeorgia.com
Earlier on Wednesday, the authorities posted information about Ephraim missing and sought public help to find him.
"Missing 15 y/o boy, blind and autistic. Missing from Madden Bridge Road in Molena, if you are in the Woodbury area keep your eyes open. Please call 911 if you happen upon him," said Meriweather County Government on its Facebook page.
The authorities later posted an update but didn't provide any details about the death: "He has been found. No further information known. Please pray for the family."
Risk of Injury to Autistic People
Children with autism are 40 times more likely to die from injury, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH).
The study found that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face challenges with social skills and communication and die at the average age of 36.
The National Autism Association reports that wandering from a safe environment is a leading risk for autistic children, and drowning is among the leading causes of death among people with autism.

"In 2009, 2010, and 2011, accidental drowning accounted for 91% total U.S. deaths reported in children with an ASD ages 14 and younger subsequent to wandering," the Association said on its website.
It reported that children with ASD tend to wander at a rate four times higher than unaffected siblings.
"Two in three parents of elopers reported their missing children had a 'close call' with a traffic injury. 32% of parents reported a 'close call' with a possible drowning," the Association said.View image on Twitter

Dr. Guohua Li, senior author of the study published on AJPH, said autistic children often suffer from anxiety and seek relief by wandering, especially towards the water.
"First, the prevalence of autism has been increasing," Li said, according to CNN.
Li said an estimated 3.5 million people with autism live in the US, including about 500,000 children under the age of 15.

Could you pull a casual summer look together in 15 minutes with just $60? No longer a style hunter but forever a bargain slayer, for me I often do my best style hunting in a hurry rather than having uninterrupted hours where I get frustrated and have too much time to overthink it all. This is also why 99% of the time I prefer shopping alone.
About a year or so ago I started shopping at Old Navy again after a several years long hiatus. I didn't stop shopping there for any reason in particular, I think my style just took me other places for a bit. And I have to say my reintroduction has not let me down. The seasonal style is perfect for the…well SEASON and I cannot get enough of the clearance racks. Outside of my soul-mates, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, I would say Old Navy has a solid number 3 in my heart for favorite places to shop mainly because I seem to find things there much quicker than rack hunting. I'll admit, I actually don't like digging and hunting for clothes as much as I used to in say — my early 20's. Now in my mid-30's, I want the amazing deal, however, there is no thrill of the hunt for me. I want quick, in and out of the store as fast as possible.
Take this cute outfit. I was on my way to meet my friend Robin for a photo shoot to help her with her blog (which BTW you totally need to check out). For some reason I mixed up the meeting time by 30 minutes. So I found this outfit in no kidding about 15 minutes flat! Even I was impressed.
The only thing I knew walking into the store was that I didn't yet have a pair of frayed hem pants, and I've really been wanting a pair. Thinking I had a solid 30 minutes to browse and hit the dressing room, I'm pretty excited how quickly this came together.
The first item I found were these white pants known as The Power Jean a.k.a. The Perfect Straight Ankle. And I also found them in a denim wash. On sale for $25 each I scooped them both up because I couldn't miss the sale on not just 1 but 2 pairs of great jeans.
Next, I went directly to the clearance section and it didnt take me long to find this linen tank top with ruffle trim straps. Stickered at just $14.99 it was an obvious choice.
Lately I've seen a lot of yellow on my Instagram and although I don't normally gravitate toward yellow, this mustard crossbody "camera bag" caught my eye and will easily carry over into fall. If you know me well anything that has season-to-season longevity is an A+ in my style file. I love the idea if giving this outfit a pop of color and I'm always looking for a great crossbody. What I like about this one, is the functionality of having 2 separate zipper pockets and an adjustable strap. And there is plenty of room for my iPhone+, wallet, keys, and a few extra essentials. But the thing I love most abut the purse is how soft it is. I swear it's better than real suede, so don't mind me while I just pet my bag…weirdo. Originally $26.00 I was able to snag this for just $17.00.
I pulled the look together with my favorite summer heels that I got at T.J. Maxx a couple of years ago. I could probably wear these shoes almost daily in the summer. The nude color, eyelet detail and woodgrain heel makes them a great neutral to pair with almost any summer outfit from casual to dressy. Although they are sold out I found several pairs ranging from $9-$30 on poshmark. For me these heels were a great purchase because they've really held up well and I like the stitching of the inside sole. For the price point they are great quality.
The Jook & Nona Inspire necklace was a goodie I got in my FabFitFun a while back.
Shopping doesn't have to frustrate you, take up your whole day and you don't have to blow the bank. My 2 tips:
- Have an idea in advance what you are looking for and dress for the occasion. Check out Pinterest for style ideas or search #realoutfitgram on Insta to help you.
- Find pieces that you like and will wear again & again. Trendy is great, but do you know what's even better than trendy? Saving money in the long run by buying pieces you'll get lots of use out of and for hopefully multiple seasons.
Could you pull a casual summer look together in 15 minutes with just $60? Take the challenge and tag me in your blog or insta so I can see how you did.
Happy shopping! xo

Will the Harry Potter high ever die? Not if Llety Cynin has anything to do with it!
The bed-and-breakfast spot in South Wales will celebrate the 20 years that has passed since the first book in the series was released. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
From Child's Wizard Tea with chocolate frogs to an Adults Wizard Tea laced with Hot Butter Beer, the finger foods are served in chic cages.
"We have spent the past few months researching, trialling, testing and tasting all sorts of delicious creations in the kitchen and are very excited to finally reveal the menu," the website states.
Still adamant about which house you were sorted in middle school? Check this out: Once you check into this bed and breakfast, you are sorted into one of the four houses upon arriving.
Whether you're a Gryffindor or Slytherin, you get to eat at the dining area transformed into the Great Hall.
For those into the whole overnight experience, children of guests receive a Harry Potter book to take home. For those not itching to grow up anytime soon, you can book the Wizarding Tea alone for that BFF time you both deserve.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was just released over the summer, igniting Harry Potter fever all over again.

Indo-Chinese Recipes: Making Szechuan Fried Rice
Szechuan Fried Rice
Szechuan fried rice is a spicy, Indo-Chinese rice dish. It is similar to Chinese fried rice; the only major difference is that Szechuan sauce is used to make Szechuan fried rice. It is a perfect food for those who like to eat spicier food; it is not only delicious, but also very easy to make, provided you have cooked rice and Szechuan sauce at home.
Cook Time
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables, carrot, cabbage, capsicum, peas, french beans etc
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion or spring onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Szechuan sauce, as per taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
- 2 tbsp oil, used more oil because I did not use oil for the sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt, as per taste
Step-By-Step Images and Instructions for Making Szechuan Fried Rice
- Wash 1 1/2 cup rice in water, soak in clean water for 15 minutes. Cook soaked rice with 3 cups of water in a pressure cooker, till 2 whistles. Turn off the fire, remove the cooker lid, once the pressure comes down naturally. Fluff the rice with a fork, spread it on a plate for cooling.
- Finely chop all the vegetables, such as 1/2 cup cabbage, 1/2 cup capsicum, 1/4 cup carrot, 1/4 cup french beans. You can add or delete one or two vegetables according to availability and your choice.
- Keep ready Szechuan sauce, either homemade or store-bought. I made the sauce for one-time use. You can see my recipe for this instant Szechuan sauce below.
- Heat oil in a thick-bottomed kadhai or wok. Throw finely chopped garlic. Saute till it turns golden. Add finely chopped spring onion or onion. Saute for 30 seconds.
- Add all chopped veggies and a fistful of fresh/frozen peas. Increase the fire to a high, stir-fry for 4 minutes or cook them till they are cooked and still crunchy.
- Add Szechuan sauce, pepper powder, and salt. Mix well. Cook for 1 minute.
- Pour cooked rice. Stir-fry and toss the contents for 2-3 minutes or till each grain of rice is nicely coated with the sauce and vegetables. Now, check for the taste. You can add more sauce or salt if needed.
- Szechuan Fried Rice is ready to serve. Transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve hot with a dry or gravy Manchurian. Enjoy the taste!
How I Made Instant Schezwan Sauce:
- Soak 2 Kashmiri dry red chilies (not hot) with 2-3 hot variety red chilies in water for 15 minutes. Take out the chilies.
- Grind the chilies with a tsp chopped onion, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped tomato, a quarter tsp chopped ginger, 1/4 tsp lemon juice or vinegar, a pinch pepper powder, less than 1/4 tsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt.
- Stir-fry this paste in 1 tbsp oil till the paste leaves oil on the sides. I did not fry it as a sauce but fried while making Shezwan fried rice, as I did both of them together.
Things to Note:
- Cook rice al-dente. Each rice grain should be separated after cooking.
- Be careful while adding salt, as the sauce also contains salt.
- If you want to store Szechuan sauce, you must stir-fry the raw sauce in oil, till it leaves oil on the sides. Only if you make the sauce for one time use, you can directly stir-fry the sauce along with the vegetables for making the fried rice.
- Using spring onions instead of onions gives better taste and color to the fried rice.

Nicknames are common in Thailand, because their first and last names are usually lengthy. Patommavat "Note" Thammachard's very appropriate nickname was given to him by his father, who was also a musician.
Thammachard learned of Indiana State when he saw Brian Kilp, professor of music/horn at State's the School of Music, perform when Thammachard was a student at Thai University in Thailand.
"I don't know if he saw something in me. He said he would like for me to come to Indiana State, so I practiced hard and tried to (improve my) English," he said. Thammachard graduated from Indiana State with a master's of music performance in 2014.
Thammachard's first impression of campus? "When I got to Terre Haute, the first thing I noticed is the cold," he said with a laugh, "but I feel warm when I see some of my friends. We feel like a family, because everyone gets really close and all the campus feels like you can hang out or study like at home."
As a classical guitarist, Thammachard spent much of his time in the practice room.
"They had everything for me in the practice room," he said. "I got really comfortable there. I love my department a lot."
Now living back in Bangkok, Thammachard teaches guitar lessons at Brillante Music School — an opportunity made possible by his time at Indiana State.
"When I was at Indiana State, I got to perform a lot," he said. "I was also an instructor in ISU Community School of the Arts, so I got the experience of teaching, which helps me a lot right now. My experience helps make my class different in Thailand, and that really helped me."
The international language of music helped fill communication gaps.
"Music helped me. For example, they would say, 'Play this, play this,' and I don't really know, but when I heard the sound, I understood. Music really helped me, actually, with language," he said.
Of Thammachard's numerous performances at Indiana State, playing with the Terre Haute Symphony and for the president of the university ranks among his most memorable.
"It was a great honor," he said. "I think everything lined up for me perfectly at Indiana State."
Thammachard enjoyed the multi-cultural experiences at Indiana State, including potluck meals among his fellow international students.
"So many people can cook and share their culture by food," he said. "Because I'm from Thailand, it was totally different (from the other students)."
Thammachard recommends other international students — from Thailand or beyond — consider Indiana State.
"If you want to pursue your dreams and something like that, Indiana State is a good choice. When I was there, I was pretty free to talk with the instructor," he said. "I would say to (students considering Indiana State), if you want to feel like a family, relax when you study, get a love of good communities — all good stuff — you should go to Indiana State."

Why Should You Do a Resume Rephrasing?
Knowing how to rephrase resume pages is vital if you want your application to be noticed. Recruiters are likely to only spend a few seconds scanning your resume for keywords and phrases that will let them know that you are qualified for the position that they have advertised. Sending in a generic resume that fails to do this is a complete waste of your time as it will not help you to get the interview that you need. Every application that you make should be carefully tailored to reflect the expectations of the recruiter if you are to get an interview.
How to Rephrase Resume Tips and Suggestions for Best Results
Updating your resume needs to be done on a regular basis so it will be ready whenever it is needed. However, many people who enjoy their job and are comfortable with their position neglect to update their resumes as they are content where they are. Unfortunately, layoffs, mergers, buyouts and many other things may leave you out of work unexpectedly. Whatever the circumstances are that require you to find a new position, if it has been any length of time since you last sought employment, your resume probably needs to be rephrased to bring it up to date and make it relevant in the current job market.
The following tips will help you with resume paraphrasing and make it more effective:
- Include the most important information in the top third of your resume. This will be the information most likely to catch a hiring manager's attention and make them want to learn more. It should be positioned where it is most likely to be seen which will be in the upper third of your resume.
- Make your resume easy to scan. Managers and potential employers typically spend only a few seconds on a resume initially unless something catches their eye. Use bullet lists, bold headers, white space and other such devices to make your resume easier to scan. A hiring manager can pick up plenty in ten seconds from a one-page resume that has been designed to be scanned easily. Try to paraphrase a sentence which contains too much information.
- Quantify your accomplishments. When possible put numbers to your accomplishments. How much were sales increased through your efforts? How much time was saved? Potential employers like to see numbers put to your accomplishments and this works to your benefit if you have some impressive stats to lay on them.
- Use a chronological resume format. The reverse chronological format is preferred by most employers. Unless you have a valid reason for using another format go with the reverse chronological.
- Keep your resume concise. Usually, one page is enough unless you have extensive experience. Use short sentences and get directly to the point. Don't use unnecessary words that don't add anything to the resume.
- Remove irrelevant information. Things like your hobbies, clubs you are a member of or how you spend your weekends should be left off your resume. Skills that aren't related to the position you are applying for should also not be included. With the ideal length of a resume only one page, space needs to be reserved for relevant information that contributes something useful.
- Use action verbs in your resume. At least one action verb should be included when describing each entry in your experience section.
- Proofread your resume. After putting so much time into the rephrasing process it would be a shame for your resume to be tossed aside due to something like a spelling mistake or typo. Mechanical errors make it easy for potential employers to narrow the field
Employ all these tips to make your resume stand out.
How to Reword Your Resume to Get Yourself Noticed
Resume rewording does not have to be too difficult if you apply yourself to the task. The following will help you with your resume rephrasing:
- Review the job application to highlight specific key phrases that they use to describe the role and the qualifications and skills that you should possess.
- Make a prioritized list of what they are looking for so that you will be able to reflect this within your own resume.
- Reorder the skills and qualifications in your resume to ensure the ones that they are looking for appear first within their relevant sections.
- Rewrite all skills and job descriptions to reflect the specific language and terminology that is used within the job advert and other information.
- Carefully check your resume to ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical errors within it.
Learn How to Rewrite My Resume for Any Circumstance
Circumstances vary for every position you apply for. Adapting your resume for each set of circumstances takes extra time but improves your chances of getting an interview.
Even slight changes can make a big difference. Knowing how to rephrase resume documents effectively allows you to adapt to each and every change.

AQR Re Ltd, the Bermuda based reinsurance firm which operates as an affiliate of global investment-management firm AQR Capital Management, has hired a senior retrocessional reinsurance specialist, Martin Vezina, who will take on the role of Chief Underwriting Officer.
Martin Vezina is well-known in the property catastrophe reinsurance and retrocession market from his time heading up catastrophe retro underwriting at Alterra. After Markel bought Alterra Vezina moved into a Managing Director position at the newly enlarged firm as Head of Retrocessional Property Catastrophe Reinsurance.
AQR Re wants to expand its presence in Bermuda and hiring Vezina, who will work alongside existing AQR Re senior underwriter Paul Mosquera from the firms Bermuda office, will help it to achieve that goal. Vezina brings significant experience in catastrophe retrocession, including having been in charge of underwriting for Alterra's New Point V and other sidecar vehicles.
That experience will be valuable to AQR Capital Management, which had around $83.5 billion of assets under management as of June 30th, as the investment management side of the business operates a number of insurance-linked securities and reinsurance-linked investment strategies which AQR Re provides business for.
The addition of a retrocessional reinsurance strategy may well be on the cards with Vezina's experience making that a real possibility.
AQR Re CEO John Lummis commented on the appointment; "We are pleased to continue investing in our operating platform."
Vice Chairman Paul Karon added that Vezina's "strong underwriting experience and actuarial background will be instrumental in serving our reinsurance clients' needs."

The consensus opinion seems to be that there is a lot of opportunity for invoice automation in the midmarket.has been pursuing that space for several years now. Recently, the Toronto-based ISV released a new version of its docAlpha automated data capture software that features multi-tenant deployment capabilities, as well as new reporting and workflow features. Artsyl also continues to roll up partners designed to help it penetrate the mid-market accounts payable (A/P) space.
"We have made the mid-market our focus—medium businesses and small enterprises," said Jeffrey Moore, chief sales officer for Artsyl. "We don't want to go into the enterprise and compete with market leaders like ReadSoft and Kofax. Their branding and funding makes them strong in those markets. We focus where they are weaker and not able to scale down."
Last time we talked with Moore, Artsyl was focused on increasing its partnerships in the ECM space [see DIR 10/10/14]. It had signed deals withand all of which remain in place. In fact, docSTAR recently announced a sale of its Smart AP Automation software, which includes Artsyl's technology, to a wholesale trader of petroleum products headquartered in the Bahamas. Artsyl also recently announced integration with ECM software from
"Recently, we've shifted to looking for more ERP-centric document management partners," said Moore. "This includesand which focus on the Dynamics space. We also have a partnership with which focuses on the space, and whose WebDocs software integrates with ERP software from and others. We recently wrote an integration to doc-link, which is big in the Epicor and markets. "And while we will continue to work with ECM companies, especially those that have specific integrations into ERP systems, we have been building our own connections to ERP systems. We have built direct connections to Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, and We are working on and ERP integrationsthat we will introduce later."
As Artsyl moves more aggressively into ERP integration, it saw the need to introduce more workflow capabilities into docAlpha, which is included in version 5.0, announced last week. "We want to deliver whatdefines as smart process applications," Moore told DIR. "This means that we don't just provide capture, but capture with intelligence and feedback.
"Yes, you need to be able to automate capture from content with data extraction and validation. But, you also need to be able to move that content around. So, we've introduced workflow for dynamic splitting and routing.
"For example, many organizations receive a combination of PO-based and non-PO- based invoices. If there is a PO and its total and subtotals match the invoice, maybe that invoice can be sent straight through for payment. If there is no PO, the invoice might need to be sent to a department manager for approval. Through our software, that manager can now receive an e-mail notification. Also, if an item sits too long in a queue, it can be escalated. The whole idea is to help users capture their data into their applications and images into their repositories with the least amount of effort.
"We realize a lot of our ECM partners already have a workflow component, so they may choose not to use our workflow. But, where the ECM system does not have strong workflow, or where the partner doesn't sell ECM, they now have a complete solution from us that they can offer. Our pricing is based on a combination of modules and the volume of documents being processed."
docAlpha 5.0 also introduces improved reporting. "Users can now see what is going on in real time in their workflows," said Moore. "They can see how many invoices they have, for example, how many have been approved, and other key performance indicators."
Its new multi-tenancy feature makes docAlpha 5.0 cloud friendly. "We will be offering our own instance hosted on AWS that VARs will be able to license," said Moore. "We will also make it available to ISV partners as a white label solution that they can host themselves. We already have some ISV partners testing it out."
Further expansion planned
docAlpha is the generic name for Artsyl's capture platform. "docAlpha is really a platorm, and on top of that we can plug in logic aimed at specific solutions," said Moore. "Currently, we have InvoiceAction and ClaimAction solutions (for health insurance claims). They employ a combination of extraction and business logic, as well as rules. We also have a toolkit that can be used to build other customized solutions.
"For the past two and a half years, we have really focused on A/P automation and driven that message. Our plan now is to build out some additional horizontal solutions, before circling back and addressing some verticals. Over the next 12-18 months, we are looking at coming out with sales order, remittance, and expense receipt processing solutions."
Artsyl is also looking to expand geographically and planning to introduce support for Spanish, French, German, and Russian languages this summer. "Right now, our business is primarily in North America, with a small amount in the U.K. and Australia," said Moore. "With our July release, we are focused on expanding heavily into Europe and Latin America."

This may come as a surprise, but I seldom read reviews. This isn't a case of "do as I say, not as I do," I've just always been one for making up my own mind and reviews are sometimes a ticket to ride the hype train. I know I'm digging myself into a hole here but there's a reason I'm making this point. When I was looking into Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr I noticed that the Steam reviews were so mixed, people didn't seem to be able to form a proper consensus. I like polarizing games so I decided to give it a go. I also wanted to address a few of the complaints I've seen in some of the player reviews. On account of this one being polarizing, I also realized I couldn't do this fairly on my own so I decided to drag my fellow TVGB writer and Aussie mate Monique Sheldrake along for the ride. Let's see if we can agree shall we?
Alex Southgate's Review
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is set in the dark, unforgiving, Warhammer 40k universe. What's immediately nice to see is we aren't playing the role of a Space Marine. For 40k games from the perspective of the Imperial side of the everlasting galactic war, playing as one of the heavily armored super-soldiers is the go-to, but this time we're taking the role of one of the Inquisitors. These are the very human (and very dangerous) agents sent by the Imperium to seek out Chaos infestations, stop cultist activity and the like.
In this game we find a ship called The Martyr which has been missing in warp space for many years. Not only is the ship infested with demons of the chaos god Nurgle, but it also seems to have become sentient. You follow in the footsteps of another Inquisitor already on board. I'm not going to go any deeper into the plot, you can figure that out for yourself but I actually think it's very well written. This is something I noted as a fairly major gripe in the player reviews so here's my stance. The story is excellent if you're a 40k fan and understand the universe and the way it works. If you're coming into the game cold you might find it all a bit pretentious and even slightly imature. I had a good idea what to expect so didn't have any issues with the plot.
Aside from the main story, you'll be able to engage in a bunch of side missions which will pit you against cultist, traitor Imperial Guard units and Chaos Space Marine warbands. These missions are scored according to their difficulty level and this is something really important to the game. You can play any mission you're given at any point in time and as this game is online these missions change regularly. If you jump into something way above your level you will get sat on by everything attacking you. Your own rating is ranked by your gear. This sort of makes sense; you aren't going to try and take out a tank with a pistol unless you happen to have a death wish. Take this philosophy and you'll be absolutely fine.
On top of the constantly changing bank of playable missions, you also have special assignments which you have to request from your bridge. These are linked together to form one large mission and you have a time limit. You're given about 12 hours to complete a phase. I don't mean you get multiple shots in that time that's just the over all time limit for each play. What I'm saying is don't start one and go to bed, it won't be there when you come back. Lastly you have tarot missions in which you impose certain rules on what you'll be facing. In my personal opinion these are the hardest of the lot and should only be attempted when you're ready.
The next biggest gripe that reviews seem to be noting, (and I think Monique will agree with this one) is the skill system. You don't buy skills. The skill trees you unlock will boost your life, add to various forms of damage or give you masteries which will add benefits to the skills you already have. You are given more abilities as you level up so the skill points you spend bolster these and your over all build. Personally I didn't have an issue with this. Playing a Psyker it was nice to give my spells the ability to heal me, slow my enemies, slice through their armour etc. For Monique playing a hack n' slash type character they probably had less noticeable benefits. With this being said the jury seems to be out on this one and it will come down to how you like to build your character.
One thing I didn't like as much was the item system. The thing about ARPGs is that you find gear you really like and want to carry on using because it really suits your play-style … or just looks cool. The items in Inquisitor for me don't have any real value. The bonuses you get from them are fairly incremental and you never seem to get that wow moment. This makes your gear feel a bit throw away. There is also a crafting system in this game. The issue is that because the weapons and armour don't feel like things you want to keep the desire to make them sort of comes over as a bit pointless. It's good if you want "x" type of gear because you don't currently have it but that's about as far as it goes if I'm honest.
The actual gameplay is fun. What isn't to like about running around eviscerating waves of enemies, punching bosses in the face and completing objectives? It would probably start feeling a bit samey if you played in massively long bursts, but a couple of hours a day is great and I didn't really notice the grind that I know comes with these types of games. I've read complaints that the story is very short for the money you're playing for the game. This isn't really a fair call.
The main story probably is quite short but there's so many other things to do that you should be concentrating on the game as a whole and if you do you're going to get a ton of bang for your buck. I'm only on the second chapter of the story and have pulled over 20 hours of game time already. If I get 20 plus hours out of any game I consider it value for money.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor: Martyr looks pretty in a dark, brooding sort of way that fits the 40k world very nicely. I never pick up a great deal on the sound but what I noticed was also fitting and suitably dramatic when it needed to be. The voice overs also fit the game nicely which is important so it doesn't lose authenticity or start sounding like a parody of something that needs to come over as serious.
From the perspective of control and the general interface of the game I'm a tad split. The actual controls are really intuitive and although this is a keyboard-driven game you aren't being hampered by having to dance your fingers across a hundred buttons to do anything. The general interface of the game should be self explanatory but isn't. A lot of what you need is on the bridge of your ship but bits unlock as you go. The problem with this is that the game tells you that you can do loads of brilliant stuff like crafting and unlocking awesome missions right from the get go if you look at any trailer.
What it doesn't tell you is that you will get these things as the story progresses. I spent 10 minutes looking for my crafting area only to find out it wasn't there yet. Next up you can re-map things like psychic powers so your weapons do different things. There was no real tutorial on how to do this and I had to figure it out mostly for myself. Lastly, this game has a co-op element and Mon and I found out that you couldn't play with your friends because the mechanism to invite specific people had been removed. We learned this from a wiki after buggering about with an invite screen that didn't seem to work for ages. This stuff is all fixable but it helps when things are clear.
All in all I actually really enjoyed my time with this game and I'll definitely be continuing with it. If you're a Warhammer 40k fan I think you'll find a lot here for you to like. It's all very true to the actual universe so you should feel right at home. To someone who has never delved into the 40k world a lot of the terminology will likely sound a bit odd and this might ruin some of the experience as that terminology makes up much of the story. For me, at least, this game comes recommended if you like this sort of thing. I'm definitely not saying that Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is a ground breaking must-have, it isn't and it's not perfect. For what is, though, it's probably worth a shot.

Monique Sheldrake's Review
This was really my first true foray into the ARPG genre, and what a place to start, considering Warhammer's storied history in the game world, both tabletop and video. I didn't know what to expect when I came to the character creation screen and decided to go with my classic choice of being a rogue – in this case an Infiltrator Assassin. As you can see, this basically gives me a character that looks like the unholy semi-cybernetic spawn of Bayonetta and Predator.
Unlike Alex's mage-like Psyker choice, being an Infiltrator allows for a lot of quick and light hack 'n' slash gameplay. The tutorial missions, while interspersed with story elements which mostly went over my head (not being an existing fan of the Warhammer universe), were easy to follow. It was very easy to pick up how to handle standard missions, although defense missions where you were protecting an individual, location, or item did confuse me a little. This was mainly because I was given the option to activate defense options like small turrets and land mines, but I couldn't really see how my selection was doing anything (if it even was). That was perhaps my own fault for somehow missing it in the tutorials.
Regardless, I was able to fly through the first five or six tutorial missions and found myself in my base of operations, with a star map leading to both campaign and side missions, a store, and the co-op option which never came to be. According to the Steam forums, the co-op function (which, if you want to play with friends, appears to be completely activated by in-game chat) was disabled, as chat was breaking the servers. That was the last bit of information I was able to find on that, dated around very late June. The developers are very active on the Steam forums, so it would appear that they're working on it, although ultimately we were unable to play together.
For me, gameplay felt fun but not particularly varied. While there were different enemies used for different areas and a few different types of environments, all of it felt very samey. A bit of my MMO prejudice was invoked because I could feel how this was designed to be a game that people regularly played, either co-op or single player, constantly building their skills and strategies. I'm definitely not a person who enjoys the continuous, samey grind of MMOs, so this was a bit of a turn-off for me, even though the game was quite fun in the short-term.
I'm told that a common aspect of ARPG games is to feel invincible up to a point, then get completely destroyed from lack of a good build or just because the difficulty skyrockets at a certain point in the story. At the time of writing, I believe I was just inching into the difficulty spike, because for the first 10-12 missions (including the five or so original tutorial campaign missions) nothing could hurt me. I didn't even learn where the innoculator (health regeneration item) button was until fairly recently because it simply didn't occur to me. Your health regenerates after battle and while you're running around, and nothing was doing enough harm for me to need to use it.
Your power level (which relates directly to whether you can handle the difficulty ratings of each mission) seems to be completely determined by your gear. Nothing in my skill tree seemed to matter when I was trying to improve my battle-related skills. All of the skill tree items I could spend points on were limited to health boosts and other passive increases. All of my increased power came purely from new swords, armor, and accessories that I could either buy or find in the field. I was never wanting for money, as even if I wanted something expensive I could simply sell the 5-10 guns I had found in the field that I wasn't using. As a lover of a good skill tree, this was pretty disappointing. I wanted actual visible improvements to active abilities! It sounds like Alex got more of this with his chosen class than I did. The Infiltrator/Assassin really didn't feel like it got any option to improve class-specific skill through the skill tree.
On a brief note about the user interface: Personally, I think it's pretty bad. While there are pretty good tutorials that you can read through for most things, Alex and I had to actually Google how co-op with friends had to work. By clicking on the co-op multiplayer, it asked us to use the Invite function. Where was the Invite function? Nowhere, because it was apparently nestled into the in-game chat which didn't work. Likewise I wouldn't have known that the numbers next to the missions were the difficulty/power ratings unless Alex hadn't told me to watch out for them ahead of time. There's nothing inherently bad about the interface, but I think it could definitely use some work.
In spite of what I believe to be a slightly clunky interface, the graphics are very appealing, from the character designs to the locations to the UI itself. The music also ramps up appropriately during battle and the game boasts quite good ambient tracks. Nothing award-winning here, but still good.
Overall, I think that Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is a fun game to spend a few hours mucking around in, but it lacks depth if you're looking for more than the average grind. You'll also be disappointed if you're hoping to make a very customised character build, as the skill tree won't give you much to work with.
Gameplay: 5/10
Story: 6/10
Interface: 6/10
Audiovisual: 6/10
This review is based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.
Brilliant if you like that sort of thing.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is one of those games where you're either going to absolutely love it (especially if you're a fan of the series, since they've so painstakingly tried to keep to the story) or you're going to play a few hours and be pretty much done. The game boasts some pretty graphics and a decent understanding and representation of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Unfortunately we were unable to rank co-op with friends, but hopefully they get that sorted soon.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is now available on Steam for $49.99USD

I have never had barszcz, Polish variant of borscht, so I thought give it a try. I love beets so why not try a beet soup? While I was looking for recipes online, a bunch more Polish recipes came up too. I asked my mom what kluski is and when she explained they are delicious little homemade noodles, I knew I had to make them. Then I thought well, what would a Polish dinner be without kapusta? Kapusta is pretty much just plain sauerkraut and it is delicious....makes the house stink though.
Then I thought a nice home-baked rye would go lovely with the barszcz so I added that to the list too. I love its dry but savory taste. Plus, my dad was practically drooling over some we saw on TV last night so I figured he would be happy.
Rye bread is not that complicated to make, just like with any bread you just need to be patience and not overwork it. And it's already vegan! I found a recipe for a simple breadmaker version called Polish Rye Bread on Group Recipes, but adapted it for normal baking methods.
1 cup warm water
1 packet dry yeast
1 and 1/2 tbs molasses
3/4 cup rye flour
2 cups bread flour
2 tps caraway seeds
1 tps salt
1 tbs vegetable oil
Dissolve the packet of yeast into the warm water. I suggest doing this in a measuring cup. Add the molasses. Stir lightly if needed. Set aside until it all bubbly and frothy.
I did my mixing and kneading in a stand mixer. I wish I had one of these in Hawaii. Can't wait to not be a broke college kid and have a real kitchen. In the mixer bowl, add both flours, caraway seeds, and salt. Mix together well by hand.
Turn on the mixer to the lowest setting and slowly add the yeast mixture. Use bread hook attachment. Then add the oil. Continue mixing until smooth and slightly elastic.
Remove the bowl from the stand, cover with plastic wrap (I suggest putting a rubber band around it too) and cover with a dish towel (ścierka in Polish, I've been taught a few random words). Put in a warm place like the laundry room to proof. If you live in humid place, that's really not an issue so just set aside anywhere really. My bread proofs so quickly in Hawaii.
|Momma rolled it out for me.
Once it's risen, punch it down again. Sprinkle some flour on the counter and roll the dough out on it a bit. Shape into the size of pan.
Spray a bread pan with cooking spray and place in the dough.
Cover with plastic wrap and a clothe again, then set aside to proof a second time.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Once it's risen the second time, pop it in the over for 20 minutes. My mom made the suggestion of putting some hot water in a pot in with the bread to help crisp up the crust.
Next, remove the pot of water and remove the bread from the pan. Put the freed bread back in the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.
Your baking times may vary based on your oven.
My bread skills need some work...my bread came out kinda dense. But it was still pretty good. Like I said, if you are patience and take your time, your bread should come out lovely. I would suggest more salt, my mom thinks more molasses.
I'll post the rest of the Polish recipes later. Still in the process of cooking all of them!

Steps are something very mundane and trivial. We are using them every day, often complaining about their existence. Like, why isn't there an elevator? They are one of those parts of our lives that go widely unnoticed. Which is why I still don't exactly know why I was so interested in seeing exactly these steps with my own eyes. And I was.
These are the steps on which Elizabeth Hale walked and they are some kind of symbol of how hard the North is compared to the South. Don't know what I am talking about? If you do, congrats, you have seen one of the most beautiful movies ever made (in my opinion at least). If not, here goes: I am speaking about 'North & South', a movie based on a novel by Elizabetz Gaskell, who is said to have been a student of Charles Dickens. The latter wrote a book called 'Two Cities' about London and Paris. Two very different places at the time and, of course, today as well. I read somewhere that this was Gaskell's take on the differences, but within England. So she wrote about a family that has been living in the South of England until the father, Reverend Hale, finds himself unable to teach what the church is asking him any more and flees the country. He uproots his family and places them in area that is the complete opposite of what they are used to. The author based Milton, the new family home, on Manchaster, on the industrial weaving scene in northern England. Standing in for Milton, in the movie, was Edinburgh. And that is one of the reasons I am so much in love with Edinburgh. Yes, there were many effects so that the view from Calton Hill didn't look as modern as it does today, but still. I fell in love with this place and all those little scenes that build the atmosphere of the movie. Which includes those steps. In the movie, Elisabeth at first is extremely insecure and one of the scenes where that shows takes place on Guthrie Street Steps. They re-occure every now and then. During my two trips to Edinburgh I have been looking out for them, knowing that they had to be some place in the Old Town and not too far off the Royal Mile. But I didn't find them. Until we got lost one day. Suddenly there they were. They were instantly recognisable to me, because there aren't too many of those old steps with the handrails in the middle and such a width. I was so happy that after all I had found them.
Looking at that picture I find my eyes are being drawn to their wavy and very smooth surface. Billions of pairs of feet over hundreds of years have polished them and they are still there. This is what I love about Edinburgh: the estimation in which they hold relics like that. Edinburgh is a very modern and lively city, but its roots have never been demolished. As of every city there has been nother time that has been lost. It's true for Paris, it's true for Berlin and many other places. And of course it is also true for Edinburgh. But here you can still reconnect. And one place to do that is on Guthrie Street Steps 😉

Contractor hired to remove lead from police shooting range
Fri., April 7, 2017
BOISE – Boise officials have hired a contractor to clean up lead and other debris that's accumulated at a police shooting range in the foothills on the north side of the city.
City spokesman Mike Journee told the Idaho Statesman in a story on Friday that Metals Treatment Technologies will be paid about $50,000.
Journee said the company will evaluate what is required to do a more thorough cleanup of the area that's been used as a shooting range since 1960.
A plan to expand the range was abandoned after neighbors complained about possible increased noise.
The Boise Police Department is planning to use a new range when it opens south of Boise.
Proposals for the site of the old range include a trailhead or archery range.
