A Spanish tortilla should not be confused with the flour or corn tortillas popular in Mexican or TexMex cuisine. The word tortilla means "little cake" in the Spanish language and in Spanish cuisine it refers specifically to what is usually a fairly robust omelet made from eggs, potatoes, onion and traditionally nothing else bar olive oil and seasonings. It will commonly be cooked, cooled and served cold, having been cut in to wedges as would be a pizza. Like omelets of any type, however, the tortilla is easily adapted to introduce different flavors and ingredients and in this way it is possible to have a great deal of fun experimenting with different food combinations.
This may best be described as a mini tortilla as it is prepared in a quantity designed to serve only one person as it appears above, or two people with a simple accompaniment such as the Italian bruschetta suggested in this particular instance. A simple salad of green leaves, tomatoes and olives would also serve as an excellent accompaniment, either in addition to or instead of the bruschetta.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 medium sized baby potatoes
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra to drizzle over bruschetta
- ½ small skinless chicken breast fillet
- ½ small red onion
- Black pepper
- Smoked (or ordinary) paprika
- Pinch of dried basil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ciabatta or similar bread roll
- 1 medium garlic clove
The potatoes in a traditional tortilla would simply be peeled, sliced and fried in olive oil before the onion and the egg is subsequently added. In this instance, the skins were left in place and they were firstly parboiled, to eliminate the risk of them being overly crispy on the outside while still hard and under cooked in the middle. Simply wash or scrub them as necessary, add them to a pot of cold, salted water and bring the water to a simmer for twenty minutes. Drain the potatoes and leave to cool.
Cut the chicken breast in to approximately three-quarter inch pieces. Be sure to use a very sharp knife to avoid tearing rather than cutting the chicken. Pour the olive oil in to an eight inch diameter, non-stick omelet pan and gently heat. Fry the chicken over a low to medium heat for two or three minutes, stirring it around with a wooden spoon, until just cooked. Remove temporarily to a holding plate, ideally using a slotted spoon to leave as much oil behind in the pan as possible.
Chop each potato in to four to six pieces that each piece is about the same size as the chicken chunks. Moderately finely slice the peeled red onion half. Saute both the potatoes and onion in the olive oil for a minute or so until the onion strands have separated and are just starting to soften and turn translucent.
Return the chicken pieces to the pan and season the mix with salt, black pepper and a little bit of paprika. Saute for another minute or so, just to ensure the seasoning is fully combined and evenly distributed and the chicken is fully reheated.
Put your broiler (kitchen grill) on to preheat to its highest setting.
Break the eggs in to a small bowl and beat with a fork or hand whisk until just combined and no more. Try to ensure the chicken, potato and onion are evenly distributed around the pan by moving them as required with a spatula or wooden spoon. Scatter with the dried basil before carefully pouring the egg mixture evenly over the top that it is subsequently of equal depth around the pan.
Moderately finely slice the red and green chilies, discard the top pieces with stalk attached and lay the slices at evenly dispersed intervals on top of the still liquid egg. Turn up the heat slightly beneath the pan.
After two or three minutes, you should see very little liquid remaining on the top of the tortilla. Traditionally at this stage, the tortilla would be slid from the pan on to a plate before being inverted back in to the pan to complete cooking on the second side. Clearly, disaster could easily result from this process, so what I prefer to do is simply place the pan under the high heat of the broiler to complete the cooking in a much less risky fashion. A little extra paprika and black pepper seasoning just before the pan goes under the heat is optional.
While the tortilla is completing cooking, cut the ciabatta or other bread roll in half horizontally. As soon as the tortilla is done, use the broiler to toast the roll halves on their cut sides. Remove to a chopping board and rub all over the cut sides with a peeled and lightly crushed garlic clove.
Drizzle the roll halves will a little extra virgin olive oil and season with some salt and black pepper.
It is very important not to cut the tortilla while it is still in the omelet pan, regardless of how it is to be served. A knife of any type could score the protective coating and permanently damage the pan. Instead, slide it carefully on to a plate or even a chopping board before halving and laying one half on each of two serving plates. Lay a piece of bruschetta alongside in each instance and serve immediately.

Niagara Community LEAH
Niagara and Erie County Regions of New York
Contact: Robert Dallmann
Phone: (716) 283-1444
Email: Form / Contact Page
Niagara Community LEAH is a local community of Christian home school families. Our primary goal as parents is to glorify Jesus Christ, and with God's help to raise our children to desire to do the same. We believe that God has appointed us the task of educating our children. As a community of believers we wish to connect with other like-minded parents for the purpose of encouraging each other in our God-given calling.
The following list represents different aspects of our ministry. Please note that not all of these things are available at all times. We make activities available as the Lord leads and provides. Activities and availability are subject to change.
Here are some of the activities that have been available in the past and that may or may not be available at present:
Yahoo Group - Our Yahoo Group is an important feature of NC LEAH. Here we keep up-to-date regarding announcements, deadlines, regulations, resources, field trip opportunities, meetings, questions and ideas.
Monthly Meetings - These monthly evening meetings are intended to connect our families via seasonal socials, educationally-fun activities, or prayer and share visits.
Prayer and Share Visits - These visits for parents of our families are hosted in designated homes of our member families and are designed to encourage edifying discussion and meaningful times of prayer. Fun food is also a drawing factor.
Co-op - Our group usually offers a co-op program that brings participating families together approximately twice per month, September through June. There is a lot of room for creativity in what is offered through the contributions of volunteering parents. Parents work co-operatively teaching and/or assisting in a wide array of classes.
Field Trips - Mothers scout out the community and surrounding area for field trip opportunities that allow for families to mingle and share educational experiences together for occasional daytime or afternoon excursions.
Dramas and Christmas Programs: - In conjunction with our co-op we have offered featured presentations by our youth. Smaller projects with the younger children have generally been in connection with our Christmas program.
Friendly Competitions - In a family friendly atmosphere we have on occasion conducted "Spelling Bees", "Bible Bees", "Geography Bees", and such. Everyone trying their best and having a good attitude has contributed to evenings of meaningful fun.
Fairs - Other local Leah chapters have extended invitations our way to participate with their groups in Science Fairs, Art Fairs, and Book Fairs.
And More - God's blessing and grace is shared among us when we stand united in our desire to honor Him and each other genuinely from true hearts.

Eagles 301 beat Titans 178 and 119 (van der Wath 5-30, McLaren 4-17) by an innings and 4 runs
It took the Eagles just 27 balls to wrap up the Titans innings at the start of day three of the SuperSport Series match at Goodyear Park, Bloemfontein and win by an innings and four runs.
The Titans started the day on 110 for six, just 13 runs short of making the Eagles bat again, but man-of-the-match Johannes van der Wath, after scoring 100 in the Eagles innings, struck twice to dismiss Alfonso Thomas and Dale Steyn to finish with 5 for 30 in 12 overs. The wrapping up was left to Ryan McLaren as he cleaned up the tail to finish with the impressive figures of 4 for 17 in 11.4 overs.
From the moment the Eagles won the toss and sent the Titans in the game was almost over. Two dismal batting performances by the Titans handed the game to the Eagles on a pitch that showed a lot less demons than the scorecard suggests.
Van der Wath's magnificent performance with the ball and the bat would once again have raised a few national selectors' eyebrows.
Lions 499 for 9 dec beat Dolphins 182 (Hall 5-31) and 187 (Khan 53, Mall 56, Kruger 3-52, Bhayat 3-39) by an innings and 130 runs
The Lions completely outplayed the Dolphins at the Wanderers in Johannesburg to win by an impressive innings and 130 runs.
Having been bowled out in their first innings for 182 with Lance Klusener top scoring with 44 and Andrew Hall falling one wicket short of a career best by taking 5 for 31 the Dolphins fared just as badly in their follow innings.
Imraan Khan (53) and Ashraf Mall (56) did put up some token resistance but once they were dismissed the wickets tumbled leaving the log leaders humbled as they crashed to 187 all out. Garnett Kruger and Goolam Bhayat picked up three wickets apiece.
Western Province Boland 482 and 14 for 0 beat Warriors 251 (Bruyns 110, Willoughby 5-84) and 250 (Pope 109, Kleinveldt 3-58, Adams 3-61) by ten wickets
Western Province Boland made almost certain of a home final as they outplayed the Warriors at Mercedes Park in East London to win by 10 wickets.
A Mark Bruyns hundred in the Warriors first innings failed to help beat the follow-on as Charl Willoughby cleaned up the tail with 5 for 84 to leave the Warriors all out for 251.
The follow-on innings started badly but a Steven Pope hundred saved the innings defeat as they were bowled out for 242 leaving Western Province Boland the simple task of scoring 12 for the win and a jump to the top of the table. Rory Kleinveldt and Paul Adams the wicket takers with three each.

If you're a longtime gourmet of Hostess Twinkies, fear not. Twinkies shall return.
Although the company, Hostess Brands Inc. is going out of business, as long as there remains consumer demand for the Twinkie, it or a reasonable facsimile there of will live on in the future. As the company makes its marketable assets available , the 92-year-old Twinkie brand and recipe will be bought by some other baker.
But when Twinkie comes back it will be attacked by the health-food police as being a unhealthy "junk food." But most of us know it is a delicious treat to eat.
Some people have been storing boxes of Twinkies and put them up for sale for as high a $500. However, wait and buy and eat Twinkies manufactured by another baker soon.
Hostess had been in financial difficulty for sometime. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and again in 2009. In January 2012 it filed for bankruptcy again. The company came to an impasse with the baker's labor union, and so the demise of Hostess Brands Inc.

We're all gifted 24 hours a day. Some people squeeze those 24 hours until they bleed. Others let them slip through their fingers without even realizing what they've lost. So how is it that certain people seem to fit everything in while others barely make it out of bed every day?
It's simple really — balance.
Now, not being the most coordinated person anyway, finding an acceptable balance in my life hasn't been easy. At first it was, "How do I balance singlemomdom with employment?" Then it was, "How do I balance singlemomdom and self-employment?" Later on I started asking, "How do I balance singlemomdom, self-employment and university?" And as the years progressed I also wanted to fit in homeschooling, writing, homeownership, and a personal life.
When you look at everything you want to do it can overwhelm and discourage you.
Don't let it!
You see, the key to life-work balance is: priorities. No matter how much we want to, or how much we think we can, we cannot do it all. We can have it all but we just can't do everything on our own. Therefore, it's crucial to examine your "To Do" list or "Goals" list or whatever type of list you have, to make sure you're doing what you truly want to do.
Here are my priorities in order of importance:
- Myself – This includes my ongoing education (we should all strive to learn something new on a daily basis); my physical needs (food, hygiene, etc.); and my emotional needs (writing, reading, movies, socializing, etc.)
- My Daughter – This includes her education; her physical needs (food, hygiene, etc.); and her emotional needs (art, playtime, outdoor activities, socializing, etc.)
- Our Family – This includes being there for family and friends if and when they need us. But it also includes making time in a busy schedule to just hang out. Side note: Our six cats are included here as well.
- Our Home – This includes all the not-so-fun junk like doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom. However, it also includes the fun stuff like mowing and gardening.
- Giving Back – I feel quite passionate about the need to give back or pay it foward, however you want to phrase it. This ties into my belief that we manifest what we put out into the world. So if we send positivity and good deeds then we're bound to create the same for ourselves.
Wait a minute, I didn't include a career or a job or work anywhere in my priority list, did I?
And for good reason.
Work is not a priority for me. It is a means to an end. I work to pay the bills acquired whilst maintaining my priorities (food, mortgage, cat supplies, field trips, etc.) and I don't give "work" any more power in my life than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my day job, but it is not my life.
I work to live; I do not live to work.
We've all been programmed to work, work, work. But for what? To accumulate large amounts of money – or debt depending on your finance savvy – for our family members to enjoy once we kick off? Hmm…something seems off with that picture to me. Why in the world would I want to waste my best years working and stressing and constantly looking at the future just to have a nest egg or no mortgage when I'm 65 or 70?
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW! What a Ride!' ~Unknown
Once you nail down what's really important – what's vital to your happiness and living the life you want to live – finding a good balance is just a matter of tracking your daily routine to pinpoint time sucks and designing a flexible time management plan based on your wants and needs. Sadly, I could use about 7 more hours each day to complete every single item on my daily list, and that's why I wrote "flexible time management plan."
Balance is not a static thing. How could it be? Life is dynamic and you have to work within life's constraints. Sometimes you're in balance and sometimes you're not. No biggie unless you get stuck in the unbalanced phase. Remember how to get back to the place you want to be – balanced and happy – and life's little curve balls won't be as hard to rebound from.
Are you living a balanced life?

A source told People that Kate and Meghan's relationship is "strengthening" due to a shared bond over motherhood. "They're each a little more relaxed. They have more in common now," they said.
Another source said that the two women "were genuine and sweet together" at Wimbledon and that after Markle's friend Serena Williams lost in the finals, "Kate put her hand out and rubbed Meghan's back to console her."
"It illustrated a warm relationship between these women who have young babies and are in similar situations in their lives," royal commentator Victoria Arbiter told People of their tennis outing with Kate's sister, Pippa.
"Babies are a great leveler," Arbiter added. "The minute you're bonding over your stories and sleepless nights, suddenly all the stuff that mattered before doesn't matter anymore."

The United States has imposed more sanctions on Iran meant to increase the pressure on Tehran to come clean on its nuclear program. The latest measures target Iran's currency and its auto industry.
The executive order issued by US President Barack Obama on Monday broadens the scope of sanctions imposed on Iran, in an effort to force it to comply with the demands of the international community regarding its nuclear program.
The United States and many of its Western allies fear that Tehran may be using its nuclear power program as a front in efforts to develop atomic weapons. Iran has repeatedly denied the charge, asserting that it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Not only the United States, but also the European Union and the United Nations have imposed a series of sanctions on the Islamic Republic in recent years. The United Nations Security Council first imposed sanctions in 2006 after Iran rejected its demand that it suspend all uranium-enrichment activities. Enriched uranium can be used to generate nuclear power, but it can also be used to construct a nuclear weapon.
The Reuters news agency cited a senior Obama administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity, who said these were the first sanctions to specifically target Iran's rial currency.
"The objective is to take aim at the rial and to make it as unusable a currency as possible, which is all part and parcel of our efforts to apply significant financial pressure on the government of Iran," the official said.
Under pressure from existing sanctions, the rial has already lost more than half of its value since late 2011.
The latest sanctions were also to target Iran's auto industry, which, according to analysts, employs the most people after the country's oil and gas sectors.
The US has repeatedly warned Iran that it does not rule out military action to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. At the same time though, White House spokesman Jay Carney stressed on Monday that Washington remained open to a diplomatic solution.
"However, Iran must understand that time is not unlimited," Carney said.

Most all of us get a feeling in the summer. Some call it "midsummer madness" or even "summer heat" when the blood seems to surge and your heart is lifted up. Perhaps its a universal feeling of the heart's animation that we are feeling.
Well, from the Chinese perspective in health and medicine, we should go with that feeling and nourish the heart in the summertime.
Now that summer is here, here are a few ways with food that you can nourish your heart.
1. Lotus plumule: Perhaps you just asked yourself exactly what I did when I tried miserably to pronounce plumule. A resounding "What the heck is that?" (giggling to myself.)
Drum roll please? (That is where you tap your fingers against the desk.)
Lotus plumule is a Chinese herb that is bitter to the taste, but cools the body down.
The benefits from drinking this as a tea are as follows:
- Clears away heart fire
- Calms the mind
- Nourishes the heart
- Enriches the stomach and intestine system
2. Octopus: Our dear 8-legged friend is quite delectable for those who may have never tried it. Actually, I put a link to an amazing recipe if you want to try.
For those of you who do try the recipe, I want some feedback, so please be sure to let me know what you think.
Now, back to our regular scheduled reading. (winks left eye)
Once you get past the fact you are eating octopus, there are lots of great health benefits, according to Chinese medicine.
Here are a few:
- Supplements the blood
- Cures carbuncles-abscesses, and expels swelling toxins;
- It is rich in protein, minerals, and natural taurine, which is the ingredient for anti-aging and keeping fit (for those of you looking for the fountain of youth).
Next up, we have the delectable (and one of my favorites):
3. Strawberries: They are more than just a sweet and juicy summer treat.
Here are more ways they can benefit you this summer:
- Good for teeth and bones (keeping those pearly whites in order)
- Maintain blood vessels and muscles
- Help to heal wounds (Popeye would have loved to know this)
- They also aid the body in detoxification (Win! Win!)
Yummy, crisp, and our leafy green friend, and also the next up:
4. Lettuce: With so many variations to choose from, you have quite a few options. The benefits seem to just keep unfolding:
- Contains large amounts of plant cellulose that can help intestinal peristalsis
- Can cure constipation
- Additionally, it is also fantastic for people who suffer with anemia
Sweet as ever in out heart is another favorite:
5. Peas: Rich in taste and full of flavor, but did you know they are also:
- Great source of protein
- This protein is said to enhance the human bodies resistance to disease
- As well as aid in ability to rehabilitate itself
- The high fiber content enhances bowel movements and makes the stool soft
Now, last but not least on this list is the egg, but not just any egg, it is:
6. Duck eggs: Eating eggs at the beginning of the summer is referred to as "taking tonics in the summer." Some of the greatest parts about this delight:
- If you are looking to gain weight
- It is high in calcium
- High in iron and a delicious alternative to chicken eggs
In closing, when the weather heats up, people are more inclined to consume things such as fruits, cold water, and other ice cold beverages. While it seems to cool the body down, what it is actually doing is putting your body in shock as the human body needs to heat the cold drink to the same temperature before it can actually be digested.
Children have had reactions such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea to name a few because their gastrointestinal tract is weak. Food is best eaten, not when it comes out of the refrigerator, but at room temperature.
As with all nutritional advice, it is always best to consult your health care professional if you are to try anything new.

A Turkish company named Konya Isi produced 10 mobile food trucks with integrated kitchens for the Qatari army.
The company's general manager Mustafa Kalyon told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday that the company began exporting in 2004.
"Firstly Qatari officials wanted a model from us and they ordered 10 food trucks to use within their army after they liked the model. We completed manufacturing of trucks in almost two months.", Kalyon said.
"All needed products for a kitchen are found in the truck. A room, cellar, cooker, blender, oven and dish washing area are in it. This truck can be used anywhere without any needs for 10 days," Kalyon said.
The mobile food truck contains liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a generator, tanks for fresh and dirty water — a ton each — an oven and a refrigeration unit that can be autonomous for 10 days.
"We did all sections of these 10 trucks. And each of the trucks that we exported to Qatar — except towing vehicle — costs €200,000 ($244,830). The trucks will be delivered in a few days.", Kalyon added.
Based in Turkey's central province of Konya, the company has been manufacturing professional kitchen materials for restaurants and big enterprises for 36 years.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a Facts: Hawaii's State Fish (with Pictures)
Do you think you can pronounce "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" correctly?
The humuhumunukunukuapua'a is Hawaii's state fish and is well-known for its long name. Although it may look intimidating, one can pronounce it correctly by sounding it out phonetically like so:
For short, the locals call this fish "humuhumu," which makes it much easier to talk about.
This fish is also known as the reef triggerfish and gets its Hawaiian name for the shape of its snout and the sound it makes. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a means "the fish that snorts like a pig" because it makes a grunting sound with its strangely-shaped nose.
The scientific term for this fish is Rhinecanthus rectangulus as it is one one of many triggerfish that are indigenous to the South Pacific Ocean.
Why does the humuhumunukunukuapuaa grunt?
The humuhumu is known to grunt like a pig (which is where it gets its name). The grunt is made possible by the strange shape of the snout and the closeness of the fish's teeth. The mouth of the humuhumu is so wide, it looks like the fish has a mouth full of marshmallows. In fact, the space in its mouth is full of air, which it uses to push jet streams out of to sort through sand as well as to make the grunting sound that is referred to in its name.
Scientists theorize that the fish grunts to warn other triggerfish about imminent danger or to call them over to join in a feast. Although the humuhumu has a long name, it is actually a very small fish that usually only grows to 8 inches at the largest.
Do you think the humuhumunukunukuapua'a should be Hawaii's state fish?
Why is the Humuhumu Hawaii's State Fish?
Hawaii chose to claim the humuhumunukunukuapua'a as its state fish in 1985 because of the vast population of humuhumu in Hawaii. In 1990, the bill expired and the humuhumu was no longer considered the state fish by law and many people agreed that this fish, although very common in Hawaii's waters, should not be the state fish. This was because the humuhumu is not indigenous to Hawaii like many other fish off Hawaii's coasts.
The humuhumu has never been a source of food or nourishment for the people of Hawaii. In fact, Ancient Hawaiians used the fish to toss on the fire as you would lighter fluid. While some believe this fish is not very representative of Hawaii's culture, others disagree. They argue that this was a reason make it the state fish again, because it is not a common fish to catch for sport or food. If a commonly sought-after fish (like the opakapaka, mahimahi, or ono) was the state fish, environmentalists would attempt to protect the fish, causing various disturbances to both the peace and also to the economy.
In 2006, Governor Oshiro reinstated the humuhumu as Hawaii's state fish and it remains so today.
Characteristics of the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Humuhumus are very small fish with special abilities.
Defensive Attributes
For protection, the reef triggerfish has rough scales along its body that comes in handy when the fish wants to hide within the rocks. The tough structure of its body as well as its size and shape allows the humuhumu to swim into small crevasses in the rocks to hide from predators.
Another defense technique that the humuhumu uses is its ability to change the pigment of its scales. The humuhumu, much like other triggerfish, have camouflage abilities that help them to blend into their surroundings, therefore disguising themselves from predators.
Eating Habits
The humuhumu sifts through its food by scooping up a mouthful of sand and spitting the inedible and undesirable parts back onto the ocean floor. They have the ability to blow jet streams out of their mouths, which they use to sift through the sand quickly to avoid being eaten while hunting for their own food.
This one website was very, very helpful for a middle school research project. Thank you!
Who is Governor Oshiro? In 2006, the governor was Linda Lingle
So helpful with my project
WOW! Very helpful for my speech! Thanks a lot!
Even though it has a long name,it lives in hawk so it must be dazzling!
Very random fact but the teeth of this fish are blue.
This is the famous book ever!Also Brittany Kennedy humu humu can squirt out strong water,and it hide in small spaces then to come out.
Humuhumu can squirt out strong water if you scared them.also it hides in holes if they are scared and then they come out.
cool they also eat coral
This is a really nice article! It is nice put together and this is very helpful for my latest biology project!
Crazy name
Wow I had always herd my best friend talk about it and when I went to Hawaii I loved it and I got to learn how to say it and learn about and it was a great experience.
Cool !
this fish is about as good as its state
wow Beautiful
:) ;)
I like how there dressed and what there talking about
Is that fish name considered the longest word in English?
What a really interesting looking fish and story of why people don't think it should be the state fish. My daughter's chemistry teacher was from Hawaii and at parent-night he told us about this fish. After hearing him say it, I never thought I would be able to, but your pronunciation breakdown works. Thanks.
Great Hub! I saw the fish and learned to properly pronounce it on my first to Maui ages ago. It's been a favorite ever since. Voted up!
A great hub! I used to have one of these when I had a saltwater aquarium. They do grunt and get very excited at meal times. They are also fairly docile in a tank setting but do eat coral! voted up and then some.
Looks a lot like a picasso trigger fish.
Interesting hub. I've been to Hawaii and seen the fish in person, so how they decide to make this fish their state fish I have no idea... I wouldn't be able to choose. So many beautiful fish there!

The CellG3 assay reagent for the measurement of endo-cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) contains two components;
1) 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellotrioside (BCNPG3) and 2) thermostable β-glucosidase. The benzylidene blocking group prevents any hydrolytic action by the β-glucosidase on BCNPG3. Incubation with an endo-cellulase generates a non-blocked colourimetric oligosaccharide that is rapidly hydrolysed by the ancillary β-glucosidase. The rate of formation of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol is therefore directly related to the hydrolysis of BCNPG3 by the endo-cellulase. The reaction is terminated and the phenolate colour is developed on addition of Tris buffer solution (pH 9.0).
Please note that a new assay kit (K-CellG5) is now available for the measurement of endo-cellulase. The CellG5 reagent contains a cellopentaose core and exhibits vastly improved sensitivity for some cellulases. In addition, the exchange of the benzylidene blocking group in CellG3 for 3-keto-butylidene in CellG5 improves the substrate's water solubility significantly, allowing for a reduction in the concentration of DMSO required in the assay. As DMSO is known to inhibit certain cellulases, this is another benefit in using CellG5. Megazyme now recommends the use of K-CellG5 for all assays for the measurement of endo-cellulase.

endo-1,4-β-Glucanase (endo-cellulase, EC 188.8.131.52) is one of the most widely used enzymes in industry. Despite its importance, improved methods for the rapid, selective, quantitative assay of this enzyme have been slow to emerge. In 2014, a novel enzyme-coupled assay that addressed many of the limitations of the existing assay methodology was reported. This involved the use of a bifunctional substrate chemically derived from cellotriose. Reported herein is a much improved version of this assay employing a novel substrate, namely 4,6-O-(3-ketobutylidene)-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellopentaoside.Hide Abstract
McCleary, B. V., Mangan, D., Daly, R., Fort, S., Ivory, R. & McCormack, N. (2014). Carbohydrate Research, 385, 9-17.
A specific and sensitive substrate for the assay of endo-1,4-β-glucanase (cellulase) has been prepared. The substrate mixture comprises benzylidene end-blocked 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-cellotrioside (BzCNPG3) in the presence of thermostable β-glucosidase. Hydrolysis by exo-acting enzymes such as β-glucosidase and exo-β-glucanase is prevented by the presence of the benzylidene group on the non-reducing end D-glucosyl residue. On hydrolysis by cellulase, the 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-glycoside is immediately hydrolysed to 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol and free D-glucose by the β-glucosidase in the substrate mixture. The reaction is terminated and colour developed by the addition of a weak alkaline solution. The assay procedure is simple to use, specific, accurate, robust and readily adapted to automation. This procedure should find widespread applications in biomass enzymology and in the specific assay of endo-1,4-β-glucanase in general.Hide Abstract
Mangan, D., McCleary, B. V., Liadova, A., Ivory, R. & McCormack, N. (2014). Carbohydrate Research, 395, 47-51.
There is a growing demand for research tools to aid the scientific community in the search for improved cellulase enzymes for the biofuel industry. In this work, we describe a novel fluorometric assay for cellulase (endo-1,4-β-glucanase) which is based on the use of 4,6-O-benzylidene-4-methylumbelliferyl-β-cellotrioside (BzMUG3) in the presence of an ancillary β-glucosidase. This assay can be used quantitatively over a reasonable linear range, or qualitatively as a solution screening tool which may find extensive use in the area of metagenomics.Hide Abstract

Gauntlet Squadron was a New Republic starfighter squadron used in conjunction with Corsair Squadron during the Bacta War. It consisted of X-wings and B-wings.
When Rogue Squadron resigned its commission to fight in the Bacta War, Gauntlet Squadron was relied upon heavily by the New Republic to carry out the elite squadron's duties. Gauntlet's X-wings were later assigned to the Allegiance during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj.
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Gauntlet Squadron was one of the starfighter squads assigned to the Soothfast in the Meridian sector. The squadron took heavy losses at the Battle near Exodo II but was able to stop the Yuuzhan Vong from recovering the Priestess Elan.

Jeremy Corbyn hit back at Tony Blair after the former Labour prime minister advised voters to consider backing Conservative or Liberal Democrat candidates in June's general election, if they promise to have an open mind about the terms of the final Brexit deal.
As Labour embarks on a tough election campaign, Blair urged the public to set party allegiance aside, in order to avoid the 8 June poll becoming a "steamroller election", and maximise the number of MPs willing to vote against a "hard Brexit" when Theresa May brings the deal back to the House of Commons.
A spokesman for Corbyn said: "On 9 June, we will either have a Labour government or a Tory one. If you want Brexit to be used to turn Britain into a low-wage tax haven, vote Tory. If you want a Britain for the many not the few after Brexit, vote Labour. The choice is clear."
In an interview on the BBC's World This Weekend, Blair said that if Theresa May won a landslide, as the polls currently suggest, the Conservatives would read it as a mandate for "Brexit at any costs" – and voters concerned about the risks of leaving the EU should press every candidate to answer whether they had an open mind about whether the final deal was in Britain's interests.
"The absolutely central question at this general election is less who is the prime minister on 9 June, and more what is the nature of the mandate, and in particular – because otherwise frankly this is a steamroller election – is it possible that we can return as many members of parliament as possible to parliament that are going to keep an open mind on this Brexit negotiation until we see the final terms?"
Asked if that could mean voting Lib Dem in a lot of cases, he said: "What I'm advocating may mean that. It may mean voting Labour. It may mean, by the way, that they vote Tory, for candidates who are prepared to give this commitment."
He added: "This is something that's bigger than party allegiance, in this particular election." He said he would campaign to ensure that candidates in every constituency were put under pressure to answer the question: "Will you back Brexit at any costs, or are you prepared to say, this deal is not in the interests of the country?"
He said: "I'm not going to advocate people vote tactically. What I'm saying is they should vote on an informed basis on this issue."
Blair said he was so concerned about the prospect of Britain plunging out of the single market that he could even return to frontline politics himself, saying: "I look at the political scene at the moment and I almost feel motivated to go right back into it."
He added that he would support the efforts of Best for Britain, the tactical voting initiative created by Gina Miller, who won the supreme court case that forced the government to hold a parliamentary vote before triggering article 50.
But Labour's shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer insisted the best way to avoid giving Theresa May a blank cheque in the forthcoming negotiations was to vote Labour.
"This election will be crucial in shaping how Britain approaches Brexit negotiations, and there is a clear choice on the ballot paper. A Labour government is the only way to prevent a Tory hard Brexit that would put jobs, the economy and workers' rights at risk." He added: "A vote for Labour is a vote against a Tory hard Brexit and for a new approach".
Labour MP Chuka Umunna said: "Tony Blair is wrong to suggest in any way that voters should look elsewhere and form some anti-Brexit alliance. No ifs, no buts: voting Labour and maximising our position in Parliament is the best way to stop Theresa May's hard Brexit. What the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives have done to our public services in government since 2010 and the cuts to support for those on low incomes, the disabled and others in need is utterly unforgivable. Whatever common ground Labour people may have with them on Brexit, we cannot ignore or forgive this."
Blair is a hate-figure for some on the left of the party, and his intervention was viewed as deeply unhelpful by senior Labour figures, who have been trying to toe a careful line on Brexit that alienates neither anxious remainers, nor leave voters in its traditional heartland seats.
Moderate Conservatives expressed bemusement at the idea Blair might give them his imprimatur. One pro-remain backbencher said, "thanks Tony, but no thanks".
Steve Baker, chair of the pro-Brexit European research group of Conservative MPs said: "Any candidate would be daft to want Tony Blair's backing. It's time to drop this ill-defined nonsense about so-called 'hard' Brexit and unite behind Theresa May's sensible plans to make a success of leaving the EU."
The former Labour leader stressed that he would vote Labour himself and had always done so. But he appeared to be sailing dangerously close to Labour party rules which ban members from supporting candidates from rival political parties.
Matt Zarb-Cousin, who stepped down as Corbyn's spokesman a month ago, tweeted that Blair "should be kicked out of the party".
Should be kicked out of the party https://t.co/zT7Cbl067V— Matt Zarb-Cousin (@mattzarb) April 23, 2017
Clause I, section 4 of the membership section in Labour's rulebook says: "A member of the party who joins and/ or supports a political organisation other than an official Labour group or other unit of the party, or supports any candidate who stands against an official Labour candidate, or publicly declares their intent to stand against a Labour candidate, shall automatically be ineligible to be or remain a party member."
Blair said: "I will vote Labour, I would always vote Labour, and there are many excellent Labour candidates throughout the country. But that's not the point for me. The point for me is, whether I'm Labour or I'm not Labour, even if there's Conservatives or Liberal Democrats, I'll work with anyone to get this argument across in the country."
Chris Leslie, one of the Labour backbenchers who tabled a number of amendments to the Brexit bill, said Blair's argument, that May must not be given a blank cheque for the Brexit talks, was one he and many of his colleagues would be making on the doorsteps over the next six weeks.
"I personally think this is going to be one of the main arguments Labour MPs can make, which is, don't give Theresa May a majority where she gets a free ride," he said.
A Lib Dem spokesperson said: "Tony Blair's intervention today shows something: this election is your chance to change Britain's future. If you want to avoid a hard Brexit you need to support the Liberal Democrats. The Tories have chosen a divisive hard Brexit. Labour have gone along with it. Only the Liberal Democrats are fighting it."

Blog tour for After the Eclipse by Fran Dorricott
After the Eclipse by Fran Dorricott
Published by Titan Books on 5th March 2019
448 pages
On the 11th August 1999, the UK experienced a full solar eclipse. I remember standing with my work colleagues outside the office looking up at the sky. This story captures that opportune moment, whilst everyone was excited about the eclipse, 11-year old Olive Warren was abducted. 16 years later and in the build-up to another eclipse, another girl has gone missing. Cassie Warren is still suffering from the guilt of losing her sister, now an unemployed journalist, can she find who took her sister and save the missing girl.
Cassie had a lot of issues, a failed relationship, anger problems that caused the loss of her job and the guilt of her missing sister. Added to this she was sole carer for her Gran who suffered from Dementia. Living back in the village of her sister's disappearance brought back a lot of memories and whilst the majority were bad, she still had good thoughts of Marion, her 1st love.
From the moment Olive is abducted, you are drawn into a mystery that spans years. The story starts at a steady pace, but when another girl gets abducted, the pace quickens as you can sense Cassie's urgency in solving the case. The character's slowly come to life as you are reading and with such detailed descriptions, you would think it would be easy to guess who was behind it. As the story is written in 3rd person, it enables you to follow the investigation step by step and you get to learn more about Cassie's younger life. Inserted throughout the story, is Olive's journal and the more you read, the more you find out what happened to Olive after the abduction and what she had to suffer. Cassie and Marion's relationship rebuilds slowly and there were times that I just wanted to yell at Cassie to get her to tell Marion how she felt about her.
I love suspense thrillers that whilst the clues are there I was unable to guess who is behind it and this was one of those books, I think I went through the majority of the characters and still was not right. The story was well plotted and at the end, it was all tied up nicely and well explained.
If you are looking for a thriller with twists that will keep you guessing then this is a book for you. This is a great debut novel and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Brussels owes it to itself to be part of the vanguard when it comes to the digital economy. To underline that ambition the city organizes a week of events focusing on the digital world. Brussels is home to a large number of companies, agencies and actors from the sector. This week wants to take advantage of the valuable contributions they can provide.
We feel it is advisable to exercise a positive policy that encourages entrepreneurs and develops the jobs of the future. In the coming years this sector will be among the biggest job creators in the capital. It's important to involve the next generation in this development, especially since they are 'digital natives'. By expressing the digital world in all its forms and aspects we can provide the capital with an image that is positive, modern and future-oriented.

PTC Blasts 'American Horror Story: Hotel' as "Most Vile" Content Ever
The Parents Television Council isn't happy with Ryan Murphy.
The conservative watchdog group has blasted FX's American Horror Story: Hotel and also taken issue with Fox's Scream Queens — both produced by Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
The group, led by president Tim Winter, singled out the season premiere of Hotel for featuring what he called an "unbelievably explicit combination of sex and violence."
The episode featured a bloody foursome involving Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer. The group-sex encounter, directed by Murphy, marked quite the acting debut for the pop star, who plays The Countess, the glamorous, bloodthirsty owner of the eponymous Hotel Cortez. Not to be outdone, the season opener also featured a graphic rape scene involving Max Greenfield in which his character was raped with a spiked sex toy.
"This is the most vile and shocking content I've ever seen on TV. Ever," Winter wrote in an email to subscribers calling for an advertiser boycott the series. "Most Americans have no idea this is primetime fare on advertiser-supported basic cable. And everyone is paying for it as part of their program bundle."
The group urged sponsors — singling out Subway — to spend their ad dollars in a more responsible fashion.
Not to be outdone, the PTC also took issue with Murphy and Falchuk's Fox horror comedy anthology Scream Queens — which it noted is rated appropriate for 14-year-olds and airs at 7 p.m. in the Central and Mountain time zones.
"In spite of this, the program features graphic decapitations and discussions of necrophilia in the family hour … all sponsored by McDonalds," the group wrote.

IOC app educating young athletes about injury prevention
Young athletes at the 2nd Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Lillehammer are picking up some useful tips about injury prevention thanks to the IOC's innovative Get Set smartphone app.
The IOC medical and scientific team has been demonstrating the app to athletes as part of the Learn & Share programme that is running alongside the YOG, providing practical tips on how to avoid injuries in sport.
The app, which was launched in 2014, features video demonstrations of the most effective evidence-based workout routines for every Olympic sport, with specific exercises tailored to each part of the body. And so far it has been very well received by the athletes in Lillehammer.
"The young athletes here are obviously all very familiar with apps, so we've had a great response," says Torbjørn Soligard, a member of the IOC's medical and scientific team who is demonstrating the app during the YOG. "It's very simple to use and we've also recently been adding lots of new exercises. The best part is that the athletes can come here, try some of the exercises and then take that knowledge away with them in their pockets by downloading the app to their phones."
The videos within the app feature easy-to-follow instructions on how to perform each exercise correctly, with three varying levels of difficulty allowing users to challenge themselves as they progress, and Soligard believes the young athletes in Lillehammer – all aged between 15 and 18 – will benefit from what the app can show them.
"When you're younger, it is much easier to ingrain good body movements and positions," he explains. "As you get older it becomes a lot more difficult to unlearn the bad movements that you may have been doing, which could have been contributing to your injuries."
Get Set - Train Smarter is available on iOS and Android, in 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian, German, Norwegian, and Chinese) and is accessible for free.

Ask two-time Chronicle Hunter Horseman of the Year Don Stewart Jr. how he manages to sell 140 to 160 horses a year, and he'll tell you his motto: You may be disappointed, but you're never surprised. That full-disclosure policy along with an easy laugh and an eye for talent have helped the former top hunter rider grow his Ocala, Fla., Don Stewart Stables into one of the biggest sales and training barns in the country, with upwards of 70 horses showing at any one time.
As the chairman of the U.S. Hunter Jumper Association Junior Hunter Task Force, Stewart spearheaded many rule changes that have shaped the division into what it is today, including introducing a mandatory handy hunter class, splitting the division four ways and creating the U.S. Equestrian Federation's National Junior Hunter Final. Most recently Stewart successfully won a long battle to cap entry fees.
Over the years countless national champions have worn Don Stewart Stables' blue and gray, including Lyle (the Chronicle's 2008 Hunter Horse of the Year), Fernwalk, Hilton, Dance Away, Sassafras Creek, Mokoo Jumbee, Midnight Hour, Western Prospect, Stetson, Clouceau, Bold Headlines, Heartstrings, Leave Me A-Roan, What About Me and Western Magic.
"Anyone can get lucky and have a great horse and a great student, but it's when you produce and reproduce that it counts," said Stewart. "We've passed the test of time."
If you hadn't become a horseman where would you be today?
Probably a lawyer because I like to argue, and I know it all.
What trait do you value most in a horse?
In a human?
What is your greatest extravagance?
I got my wife Nancy a 10-carat yellow canary diamond ring for our 25th wedding anniversary. Most people tell her it wasn't big enough for having put up with me for that long.
What changes would you like to see in the show world?
I want to see a big increase in the money offered to hunters just as in the jumpers. We're finally headed that direction, with money won having a greater influence than points. Obviously, the show managers have to oversee some restructure in the pricing [of entry fees]. We probably need to [award money] according to how many are in the class.
If you're not at the barn or at the in-gate at a horse show, where are you?
Either at a restaurant or on a golf course.
What three things are in your fridge at all times?
Well there are never leftovers because I'd have eaten those. Probably ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.
What is your most marked characteristic?
My ability to get along with just about anyone. I get that from my parents.
What is your favorite horse show food?
Devon French Fries.
What is your drink of choice?
Iced tea.
What would you say is the biggest issue facing the world today?
World peace and the economy.
What's the hardest kind of horse to sell?
A difficult horse or a stopper. I won't sell one of those anyway. I disclose everything to everyone. I always tell people, "Don't send me that horse if it stops; I won't take it."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Hopefully, retired and enjoying the good life.
Most frequent item on your credit card statement?
Describe your first horse.
I had a large pony named Can Do back in 1910 or so when I started. He was super honest, and I jumped him 5'3″ in a pony high-jump class. That's still the highest I've ever jumped.
What was the first horse you sold?
In the 1960s, when I was a kid, I had a nice horse named Monday Blues I did the juniors and equitation on, as was the norm, then the amateurs. He was an honest, reliable hunter.
What is the best feeling in the world?
Making my wife [Nancy] and kids [Erin, 24, Don III, 19, and Whitney, 15] happy.
If you could go back and change one decision you made during your career, what would you change?
I wish I'd moved to Florida sooner. Up in North Carolina they don't want to spend money on horses.
What do you miss most about riding and showing?
I miss showing off. I like being the center of attention.
Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being leading hunter rider at Devon [Pa.] and The National Horse Show [N.Y.] back when those were the only shows to give that award.
What phrase do you use too often?
Either "not sold" or "didn't pass the vet."

Strong increase in student number from 2006 to 2011 in Kilkenny - CSO figures
The number of persons in the labour force in April 2011 in County Kilkenny was 46,265 – an increase of 3,223, or 7.5%, since April 2006. The labour force participation rate in Kilkenny was 62.3% compared to 69.4% for the State overall. The male participation rate was 69.9% while the female participation rate was 54.8%.
The figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) released the latest in its series of Census 2011 results covering the socio-economic results from the census and showing that the number of students in County Kilkenny increased by 19.8%.
"This is Ireland – Highlights from Census 2012, Part 2 " is the second of two summary publications presenting the results of the 2011 census and examines social and economic topics such as employment, occupations, education and skills and health related issues.
Deirdre Cullen, Senior Statistician at the CSO said the report provided a broad overview of the socio-economic situation in Ireland in April 2011.
"It presents findings on topics such as the changing rate of participation in both the labour force and education of young people, how unemployment has affected various groups and areas over the past five years and how health and social class are related," she said.
8,992 persons were unemployed in County Kilkenny in April 2011 based on the census Principal Economic Status basis (which differs for methodological reasons from the official QNHS figures). The overall unemployment rate for the county on this basis was 19.4%. This compared to an unemployment rate of 19% (424,843 persons) for the State overall.
Census 2011 saw a strong increase in the number of students aged 15 years and over since 2006 – increasing by 16.9% for the State overall. The number of students in Kilkenny increased by 19.8% to 7,703.
Broadband use in private households in County Kilkenny increased from 14.1% in 2006 to 60.3% in 2011. 67.2% of the county's urban households had broadband compared with 55.8% in rural areas.
A new question on general health was introduced for the first time in Census 2011 and asked respondents to select one of five categories ranging from very good to very bad. In County Kilkenny 89.2% of people rated their health as good or very good while 1.4% rated their health as bad or very bad.

Whilst Rotorua is an awesome place to come for some high adrenaline adventures with no shortage of things to do for thrillseekers, there is a much more relaxing side to their geothermal city. One of the best things to do on any trip to Rotorua is to spend a morning, afternoon or even the full day at the Polynesian Spa – a world-leading, natural mineral bathing and luxury spa retreat right here in Rotorua. Let the geothermal waters nourish skin and revive tired muscles, aches and pains, while decadent therapies rejuvenate your body. Sounds relaxing? It's even better than you think.
There are many different elements to the Polynesian Spa. Set in the wonderful geothermal waters that surround Rotorua, bathing is one of the main attractions at the Polynesian Spa and the geothermal mineral waters are sourced from two natural springs and fed into no less than 27 mineral pools at the spa complex. With two different water types; one more acidic and one more alkaline, you can treat the body in different ways as the acidic waters relieve aches and pains whilst the more alkaline waters nourish your skin.
Each of the pools is designed for different purposes from the deluxe double dipper which is perfect for couple to the family double dipper which features water slides and great views out across the lake. There's also a private pool where you can truly sit back and relax.
The second element to the Polynesian Spa is the retreat – a place to come and truly indulge yourself with a treatment or series of treatments to cleanse and relax the body and mind.

Honeywell Q1 profit rises, tops estimatesStaff Writer | April 21, 2017
Honeywell International reported that its first-quarter attributable net income grew to $1.33 billion from last year's $1.22 billion.
Honeywell "Each of our businesses contributed"
On average, 18 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of $1.62 per share for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.
The company said its earnings per share, at 25% tax rate, excluding 2016 divestitures, were $1.66, compared to $1.50 last year.
Net sales edged down to $9.492 billion from last year's $9.522 billion. On an organic basis, sales grew 2 percent. Analysts were looking for sales of $9.32 billion.
Further, for fiscal 2017, the company raised the low end of guidance by 5 cents.
The company now anticipates that 2017 earnings per share will be $6.90 to $7.10, up 7 percent to 10 percent, excluding divestitures, any pension mark-to-market adjustments, and 2016 debt refinancing charges.
For the full year, analysts expect earnings of $7.04 per share.
Darius Adamczyk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell, said, "Honeywell reported a strong start to 2017, with over 2 percent organic sales growth, 70 basis points of segment margin expansion, and free cash flow of nearly $800 million that was more than six times greater than 2016. Each of our businesses contributed." ■

Equality and Themes
Style and Tone
Equality and Themes
"Throughout history there have been those who sought to use magic to cause harm, to take advantage of the inherent dullness of the supernatural to slide under the radar and cause havoc in their own small ways. Most are inspired by demons, using witches for their own ends, glorying in the suffering of humans.
Someone has to stop them. That someone is us."
- Aislin O'Neill, 1992
The Hallowed Chamber claim that the highest aim to which humans can aspire is to aid angels in ridding the world of the demonic menace. They claim an unparalleled faith in the inherent goodness of angels and the angelic laws. They admit that the laws can be difficult - troubling - contradictory to each other and to the law of the land - but up until 2015 they were prepared to risk their lives to protect angels and humanity from the demon threat. Since then, things have become more complicated.
By and large they're holy warriors, vigilantes, loose cannons and those cursed with more bravery than sense. They've got to be cunning to survive - demons are smart, but they'd rather leap into action than engage in scholarly thought for days. Many have shared history, good or bad, with the Slough Institute, a mutual affection and exasperation with the White Quill, a deep mistrust of the Seekers, and something approaching bemusement towards the Hidden Order of Sa'aris.
The Hallowed Chamber claim descent from various legendary and heroic magical organisations; despite this, it is blatantly obvious they were set up in the late 1990s by three renegade witches from associations linked to the Slough Institute. The original goals were simply to promote the angelic laws and support angels in the battle against evil. In the early years this referred purely to demons, but after the Inverness Incident (2001) it became known that the Chamber had expanded the definition of their enemies to include those who were found to be actively aiding demons to commit acts of evil.
Between 2001 and 2015 the Chamber hunted down at least twenty minor demons successfully, banishing them back to Aether with the aid of an angel called Kerubiel. During these years Chamber activity was linked to various criminal acts - shops burned, graveyards vandalised, various accusations of GBH - and at least one suspected murder (unproven). When questioned - predominantly by the White Quill - the reason given was always that the victims of these acts were actively supporting demons in committing acts of evil. In most instances this could be proven: there were a couple in which this was highly suspect, and definitely one in which the victim, Kelly Smith, was proven innocent of any wrongdoing. Unfortunately this was the incident in which the victim was killed and the relatives of Kelly Smith harbour a bitter grudge.
In 2015 the Chamber began to appear divided. The three founders stopped appearing together in public and started making bitchy remarks about each other over social media. Rumours started to spread of an ideological split. The precise details are not known - the mudslinging on Facebook was overshadowed in March 2016 by what came to be known as the Norwich Incident (footage of which can be found on YouTube).
Mohammed Darzi and at least half of the Hallowed Chamber corned a group of witches in a hardware shop in Norwich. The group of cornered witches eventually fought their way out of the building, accompanied by a particularly large and powerful demon. They were attacked by Ruby Robinson, several followers, and the angel Kerubiel and in the fight which followed three buildings were levelled and half a dozen people seriously injured.
Taking advantage of the entire Chamber being distracted, Aislin O'Neill nipped into a nearby cathedral and used their WiFi to upload the entirety of the Chamber's files onto the internet.
Distracted, Darzi immediately ordered his forces to disengage: half to delete the online files to protect the identities of the humans in the Chamber, the other half to rescue the trapped people. Left without backup, Robinson's forces were overwhelmed by the demon, which collapsed another shop on them and then went in for the kill. Kerubiel got between Muriel and the humans and was defeated and blasted into fragments, which disappeared in a shower of red sparks. Left alone, Ruby Robinson took on Muriel solo - she was left ripped apart in a pool of her own blood, only just alive. Muriel tipped their hat to the Chamber, struggling to climb from the wreckage, and took to the skies.
The Chamber, being such a young organisation, has always been led by the three founders. Typically they each have a couple of lieutenants, who are chosen personally for excelling in some necessary field, such as demon-fighting, angel-summoning, or owning a house large enough to hold group meetings. The structure has always been somewhat haphazard and generally the Chamber will agree to put people in charge of operations for which they are suited.
Since Aislin's illicit publication of all their secrets the existence of the Chamber has become known worldwide and many of the newer members are communicating primarily through secure instant messaging systems. There is still a considerable presence in Newcastle, though many members are trying to sell their homes and relocate before vengeful demons come calling.
With O'Neill in hiding and Robinson in a coma, Mohammed Darzi is de facto in charge of the Hallowed Chamber. He's known to be struggling with the workload and desperately needs to recruit some lieutenants. He's also trying to keep the Chamber from splitting, though his pro-human policies are at odds with the fervent beliefs of angelic superiority held by many in the Chamber. He is trying to forge a middle path and it is thought that he needs new lieutenants from both sides to try and cobble together a rough alliance.
Without Kerubiel, current concerns include the number of vengeful demons who are likely to come calling, the need to form an alliance with a new angel (or find their old one) to banish demons, the need to stick together against adversity (or at least fight less publicly) and, ideally, to find ways of healing Robinson. Some members are suggesting the Chamber try to build bridges with other factions of witches. All are agreed they need to determine what their priorities are going to be for the coming year and in particular if they intend to keep Robinson's pro-angel philosophy going in her memory, or switch to Darzi's philosophy of prioritising human concerns.
Darzi has said he would like the membership to decide and this will be one of the key concerns at the first meeting.
O'Neill started off as a member of the Iron Filings working in a popular London tea shop. Over time, she was demoted to Loughborough, Inverness, and finally to the Shetland Isles. She stormed off the Shetland Isles (quite literally) and started up the Hallowed Chamber in an attic in Gateshead.
O'Neill was heavily implicated in the murder of Kelly Smith in 2013 and since then has rarely been seen in public. She took advantage of the fight with the demon Muriel in Norwich to betray the Chamber and release all their secrets onto the internet. She has not been seen since.
O'Neill is a witch of considerable knowledge and power and is known to have repeatedly summoned at least three celestials. Any witch attempting to make contact with her is recommended to go armed and in company.
Darzi was an Initiate in the Hidden Order of Sa'aris who was never promoted to Entrusted; it is believed that his dissatisfaction with this led to his leaving the group and joining his old uni friend Aislin O'Neill in her Gateshead attic.
Since 2012 Darzi has championed the cause of humanity rather than celestials. While he claims to believe in the angelic laws, he now says that angels need to work for humans, not just the other way around. His prioritising rescuing the humans trapped in the fallen buildings during the Norwich Incident led to the capture or destruction of the angel Kerubiel and the fracturing of the Chamber. While the YouTube footage appears to show Darzi running away from the fight and leaving his fellow witches to their fate, some argue that this is faked.
Darzi is a known environmentalist and a leading member of Amnesty International. In his free time he enjoys writing letters to newspapers, gardening, and working at the local homeless shelters. With Aislin in hiding and Ruby in hospital, he is currently the leader of the Hallowed Chamber.
Robinson joined the Chamber roughly two years after it was founded, having previously been a Junior Researcher at the Slough Institute. She is known to strongly believe in the divinity of angels and the righteousness of their fight against demons. Ruby is almost certainly responsible for the majority of incidents of demon banishment and has always had something of a cult following among the junior members of the Chamber for her go-getting attitude and uncompromising approach. It was Ruby who, after much experimentation, finally summoned the angel Kerubiel in 2001 and persuaded them to help the Chamber.
Ruby fought in Norwich beyond the point at which all hope was lost, eventually taking on the demon Muriel alone when the last of her friends and followers were trapped in the fallen rubble. She sustained grievous injuries in this battle and has been in a medically-induced coma in Charing Cross Hospital, London, for the past two years.
Ruby is known to like violent films, gin and tonic, and antique swords.
The angel Kerubiel was first summoned in 2001 by Ruby Robinson and remained with the Chamber ever since, usually living with Ruby in her flat in Newcastle. Kerubiel possessed the power to remove demons from this world - how exactly they did this, how permanent the effects were and what happened to the demons as a result is not known.
Kerubiel was destroyed, banished or captured in the fight with the demon Muriel in Norwich and has not been seen since. It is a matter of speculation how friendly they would be towards the Chamber were they to return, given that Darzi and his followers prioritised humans over their angel and left Kerubiel to their fate.
Kerubiel appeared to the Chamber almost every month for about 15 years. Evidence suggests they liked humans, Chinese food, and the opera.

DesTination: L'équipée Himalaya Sur Une Moto de Légende, la Royal Enfield Bullet 500cc!
L'équipée is one such group that reminds me of the spirit of adventure and friendship that seems so rare today. L'équipée is made up of a group of women who share a passion for classic motorcycles, friendship and a sense of freedom that comes with exploring the unknown on two wheels. Fortunately, these five women were kind enough to bring us along on their August 2014 Himalayan Odyssey. L'équipée made headlines, being interviewed by Vanity Fair, as tales of their twenty day journey sparks a flame in the hearts of a majority of us who could ever only dream of embarking on such a journey. Here is their story in French and in English!

Heinrich Votes To End Employment Discrimination
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) voted in favor of S.815, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013 (ENDA), a bill he is cosponsoring to prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill passed with a 64 to 32 vote.
"Today the Senate took a historic step toward creating a more fair and just America," said Sen. Heinrich. "Passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act ensures that every employee in every state is judged not on who they are or who they love, but on the quality of their work. I'm proud to be a longtime supporter of ENDA and to represent a state that was at the forefront of providing these kinds of workplace protections for our LGBT community a decade ago. I urge the House to follow suit and hold a vote on ENDA so it can be signed into law this year."
ENDA would prohibit employers nationwide from firing, refusing to hire, or discriminating against those employed or seeking employment, on the basis of their perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity. Such protections are already in place prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age, and disability.
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act was introduced by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). It currently has a total of 55 cosponsors in the Senate.
New Mexico amended its Human Rights Act in 2003 to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, and consumer credit, placing it among those states that provide the strongest protections for gay and transgender workers.
