Buddhists across Asia mark Vesak with prayers, processions
May 11 (Reuters) - Buddhists across Asia commemorated the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha in Vesak celebrations this week.
This year, the United Nations held its special Vesak Day celebrations in Sri Lanka, where a colorful lantern festival was organized with moving light displays and stalls to hand out free food and drinks to visitors.

"This has given the opportunity not only to Buddhists, but all the people of the country to showcase how we celebrate Vesak in this country," said Jagath Sumathipala, vice president of the World Buddhist Congress.
In other countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Nepal, Buddhists lit candles and butter lamps while offering prayers at temples and shrines.
In Singapore, monks and devotees took part in a procession in which they prostrated themselves on the ground after every three steps, while in India, people dipped themselves in the Ganges river.

Sebastian Ferrero remembered at UF Health Shands Children's Hospital/
The Ferreros founded the nonprofit Sebastian Ferrero Foundation to raise money and awareness for a children's hospital right here in Gainesville.
On Sept. 3, a morning ceremony marked the completion of the $11 million construction of the UF Health Shands Children's Hospital, which includes a new brightly colored façade, a separate entrance from the rest of the hospital and a new lobby in the Sebastian Ferrero Atrium.
The red brick façade is covered with an assortment of blue, purple, red and yellow panels. The lower floors are covered with aqua-colored glass windows, which mark the exterior of the new pavilion. Inside, the floor is covered with vivid patterns of blue, purple and pink that lead from the entrance to the children's hospital. The walls are covered with an interactive video screen. Renowned artist Romero Britto's sculpture "Tomorrow" greets guests in the atrium. The sculpture features a boy in a red, orange and yellow striped shirt with green polka-dot pants reaching upward for a colorful butterfly. The new entrance was a priority for the hospital because the staff believed children and families should never again have to go through the same door as adult patients. We're so thrilled to have this wonderful addition to our community, and are so thankful for the difference this facility will surely make to the lives of many right here in our home town.

Meet Robert Schmidt, a Columbia College graduate now living in China and working for Ubisoft. Over a three-part Q&A series, we'll "talk" with him about his experience living in China, his work, his thoughts about gaming and how students today can find success.
My name is Robert Schmidt, I was a student on Columbia College's main campus in Columbia, Missouri, from Fall 2007 to Fall 2009. I finished up my degree in the online program in May 2013, with a B.A. in General Studies. I worked in medical records from 2011 until the end of 2013, when I enrolled in an MBA program with Webster University. I started classes at the campus in Chengdu, China through the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2014, and finished my degree in summer 2017.
After arriving in Chengdu, I also got a one-year internship with the Ubisoft studio, and have been working here for almost four years now. After completing my internship, I was hired as a Project Assistant in the Casual Games Department. This is part of the Project Management career path, and my main focus was to assist the Producer of our project/game in the day-to-day management of the team. I worked in this position for two years, and was promoted to Project Coordinator in early 2017. This position is usually responsible for small-scale games or a specific feature of a game. In September, I transferred to a new department and also changed position to Project Manager. This is a design and marketing position and not involved in the management of the team.
When I was on the day campus I was in the political science program. In many ways, I found what I learned there to be incredibly useful. For example, you'd think that political science would have nothing to do with my current job in marketing, but actually it was incredibly useful and relevant. Political science is mostly the study of people and behavior, and explaining why organizations or societies act the way they do by finding the cause. Marketing is almost the exact same. In political science the product is to create a new policy or perhaps an NGO to solve that problem. In Ubisoft, we're creating a video game to solve a "problem."
Strangely, I found that some of the information I learned about China was inaccurate. I would attribute that mostly to the rapid pace of change in China. The area I work in was farmland 10 years ago, now it's a district of 2-3 million people. I've also discovered that China varies greatly from province to province, and even within a province. Most of China is a male dominated society, but I feel that Sichuan Province is far more female dominated than I could have ever imagined.
I needed a change from what I was doing in the U.S., and wanted to go study overseas. I wish I'd done it a lot earlier.
I'd say my undergraduate classes at Columbia College were harder than my graduate classes…part of this due to Chinese education culture. The Chinese study extremely hard in middle school and high school. This is in preparation for the "Gaokao," or final exams for college. In college, the culture is very laid back and not much is learned in college. It's more about making connections with other students.
To be honest, I wanted to work in the computer hardware industry or the automotive industry. It was part of why I came to Chengdu, as they have many research and manufacturing facilities for those. Unfortunately, they usually require engineering degrees and prefer that you are fluent in Mandarin. Since I don't have either of those, I got lucky enough to get the internship with Ubisoft. I am a gamer, and I was very familiar with the company, but didn't think it was what I wanted to do.
I wasn't sure the job was right for me, but thought it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. About a month after joining the company, the Studio Manger sat down all the recent hires and explained the "company culture" to us and the company expectations. To paraphrase, it went basically like this, "If you go from job to job succeeding, you aren't doing your job right. I want you to fail, if I see you failing then it means I know you are trying something new and learning. If you only succeed, then it means you are only doing what you know."
Coming from medical records where failing at something in your job can usually mean immediate termination, and you are told not to try anything new, this was a shock. Ubisoft isn't always a fun job, and often it can be incredibly frustrating, but I'm getting to do a lot of things I never thought I would or could do.

It will take Vickie a few days to get the surprises together that I have in mind for you so keep an eye on the old mail box. Love ya BertSo here is the first picture. (Below) Good Luck, and don't hate me when you figure it out.
Now lets get down to the good stuff.
My Life this week.
One night early in the week, Vickie woke us all up (the girl needs to learn to sleep through the night) anyway, she woke us all up and we headed outside to play in the snow. I have to say, I am glad she did. It is so cool to go out in the middle of the night and play. It is like a whole different world.
Like I remember this search we went on up in Montpieler a few years ago for a missing child. We searched all through the night and it was so exciting and a little scary. Like part of the night we were searching in this big open area when something made a noise kind of like a snort. It scared the beejeebees out of me. But it ended up being ok cause it was just an old cow.
The really neat thing about it was how quiet and peaceful the world is at 1 or 3 in the morning and Oh MY Gosh, the stars up there were, well it was like looking into the most beautiful sparkle show ever created. Oh and just for your info, the boy was found safe and sound.
Anyways back to our midnight frolick in the snow. It only lasted about half an hour but it was great fun. All except for that silly flash on Vickies camera. It kept blinding us.

I had lunch with a couple of friends from high school today. We talked about some of the crazy stuff we did in high school (what else?). There were tunnels that ran beneath our high school's auditorium and into the proscenium arch. We used to go down into the tunnels and explore. (Mind you, there were critters down there, I'm sure. We never saw any, but those tunnels were gross.) At first, I just enjoyed reminiscing with my friends and then I realized something: I went down in those tunnels without having any kind of panic attack or difficulty. I went down in those nasty, dirty tunnels. Sure, as soon as I came out, I doused my hands in hand sanitizer, but I went down there! That was only four years ago. I would be unable to do that today. I would make it as far as standing over the hole in the floor and would probably have a panic attack at the thought of going into such a disgusting place. It was frustrating to realize how much more I was able to ignore just four short years ago.
Keeping up with the little homework my therapist assigned for this week has been much more difficult than I expected it to be. On Monday after therapy, I just forgot about it. I am so used to doing things the way I do them, so used to washing and sanitizing my hands after touching things, that not cleaning didn't even cross my mind.
On Tuesday, I realized that I had neglected to do my homework the day before and felt like a complete failure. (Did I mention that I'm a perfectionist who is really hard on herself?) So I was determined to accomplish something that day. I turned the pressure up. Bad idea! I ended up so stressed-out over needing to do my homework that I felt compelled to clean even more. Suffice it to say, if you are trying to not perform an OCD ritual, do not stress yourself out over it. You will be much worse off if you pressure yourself. If you mess up, don't sweat it. It won't come naturally or even easily. If it were easy, well, then it wouldn't be OCD.
On Wednesday, I drove out to West Texas to visit family. I love my family and enjoy spending time with them, but regardless of that, visiting is stressful. It's not bad, just stressful. So between that and being in a car all afternoon, I wasn't able to get much accomplished. By the time I got into town I was too tired to care whether or not I was giving in to compulsions.
I was still settling in on Thursday, so yet again, I didn't manage to avoid any rituals. I started getting really frustrated with myself, too. I started thinking that I was never going to be able to do this. If I can't do these small things, why on Earth do I think I can tackle any of it? I hated myself every time I went to the sink or grabbed my hand sanitizer. Every time, my mind would chant, "Failure! Failure! Failure! Failure!"
Today has been better, though. I'm not sure if the supplements are kicking in or if something else is going on, but I have managed a couple of times today to either delay washing or forgo washing altogether. Even just those couple of times felt monumental to me. When you have OCD, it's all about the little victories. Yes, 99% of the time that I wanted to wash my hands today, I did. Every other day it has been 100%.
We will see what happens tomorrow. For now, I am proud of myself. I feel silly admitting that because most of you will think that I didn't really do anything. I know that I did, though. I know that I resisted a compulsion and survived it. That's a big deal. I'm taking baby steps forward, but the key word here is forward.

New Zealanders should be able to choose not to eat GE food, the Green Party said today.
Parliament's Regulations Review Committee has tabled a report on GE Free NZ's complaint about the approval of a GE soy breed. The committee didn't act on the complaint.
"This report leaves consumers who want GE food safety properly assessed, with no choice but going to the High Court," Green Party GE spokesperson Steffan Browning said today.
"There is no other appeals process for bad food safety decisions.
"The current process doesn't serve New Zealanders well, it even side lines the Food Safety Minister, making it all the more important that GE food be assessed independently in New Zealand and also be labelled.
"Leaving decisions like this application for a herbicide drenched GE food up to Food Standards Australia New Zealand means we have effectively given up New Zealand's ability to ensure food safety.
"This shows we will need an independent New Zealand approach to food safety in the Food Bill," said Mr Browning.

Paper presented at the Wireless Communication, Vehicular Technology, Information Theory and Aerospace & Electronic Systems Technology, 2009. Wireless VITAE 2009. 1st International Conference on, Aalborg.
Time of Arrival (ToA) is a popular technique for terrestrial positioning. This paper presents a comparison of ToA based residual related positioning algorithms in wireless terrestrial and sensor networks in both long range outdoor and short range indoor environments. Using ToA distance measurement error models in both environments, we compare the performance of the Least Square Estimation (LSE), Residual Weighting (Rwgh), Iterative Minimum Residual (IMR), Select Residual Weighting (SRwgh) and Lower-Computational-Cost Residual Weighting (LCC-Rwgh) algorithms. The latter three algorithms are inherited from the Rwgh algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Two aspects of the performance comparison are addressed: computational complexity and positioning accuracy. In performance comparison, the complexity comparison is done by analyzing the number of LSE iterations while the accuracy comparison is conducted through a set of simulations in both environments.

Years ago, when I worked with jetBlue, I flew out to California with some friends for a day-trip on the Fourth of July. We explored the Hollywood Hills, admiring the impossibly large mansions the celebrities lived in, then wandered up and down Rodeo Drive, gawking at the impossibly high prices of the merchandise those celebrities bought. When that lost its novelty, we made our way to the coast where the rest of the day was spent playing at the beach, happily baking under the golden Southern California sun. The combined lack of worry, the smell of the ocean, and the inherent patriotism of the season made it seem as if we were living, for a day, straight out of a 50's Coke ad. I remember admiring the way the California haze distilled everything into warm, muted tones and wondering if Norman Rockwell himself painted what I beheld.
Like all wonderful days at the beach, that one came to an eventual end. As we made our way back to the airport, we stopped for dinner at a small sandwich shop where we bought cheese steaks from some gnarly gentlemen I can only label as typical California surfers. We were short on time, so we stowed our sandwiches in our backpacks to eat on the plane. Our flight lifted off just as the sun was setting, and as I settled into my seat at the window - cheese steak in hand - I watched the sun disappear into the ocean's burning horizon. Soon the golds and purples of the sunset gave way to deep blues of twilight which gave way to the dark of night. Being entirely spent from a day of fun, I seriously considered sleeping, and as I gazed into the hypnotizing blackness below, my eyes began to grow heavy. I remember the frail, electric skeleton of a city passing slowly underneath us. This caught my attention for a moment and I admired it's filaments of light branching out over the featureless landscape. Then suddenly, in the middle of it all, and to my great surprise, there appeared a tiny burst of cherry red explosions. I sat up. More bursts followed, littering the pocket-sized cityscape like neon confetti - a Fourth of July celebration on a lilliputian scale. It was incredible. And that wasn't the end of it, either. On that night, I had a ticket to every firework show over which our plane silently passed and a unique perspective on the celebration of our country's independence that I'll likely never experience again.
It was the perfect ending to an incredible day.

text: CountryMark PDR Makes a Big Difference for Ft. Wayne Fleet CountryMark News SuperUser Account May 14 2014 CountryMark's Premium Diesel-R has helped Erie Haven Concrete in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, decrease engine repairs, extend engine life, increase fuel economy, and have greater control over their fuel costs. John Leedy, Vice President of Operations for Erie Haven Concrete, is the man behind Erie Haven's switch to CountryMark's premium on-road diesel fuel. His decision was motivated by costly engine repairs John inherited when he joined the Erie Haven team in late 2012. Motivated to find a new fuel Erie Haven Concrete operates a fleet of approximately 85 concrete mixers that travel over most of northeastern Indiana. In 2012, the company replaced 38 fuel injectors. Leedy suspected that the #2 diesel fuel they were using wasn't giving the injectors the detergency or lubricity they needed. Leedy spent the first part of his career as a diesel mechanic, and knows first-hand the importance of fuel lubricity. "Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is naturally dry and that's hard on injectors and fuel systems," said Leedy. "As I studied the specifications of the CountryMark premium diesel fuel and the added lubricity and detergency they put in their diesel fuel, I became confident their fuel would help us reduce injector failures." Reduced maintenance cost John's theory was correct. In 2013, Erie Haven began using CountryMark's Premium Diesel-R and the number of injectors they replaced went from 38 to 9, and that number has continued to drop off in 2014. So far this year, Erie Haven mechanics have replaced just one fuel injector. "That tells me the CountryMark fuel is doing its job," said Leedy. "It's providing the lubricity and detergency the injectors and fuel system need. We have calculated that the better quality fuel has saved us $60,000 this year in repairs alone." More miles per gallon Erie Haven Concrete also saw an increase in fuel efficiency with their switch to CountryMark Premium Diesel-R. "Our miles per gallon increased from 3.08 to 3.22 by switching to the premium diesel fuel," said Leedy. "That is a 4.5% increase in fuel economy. As a result of the improved fuel economy, we used 14,372 fewer gallons of fuel in 2013, and that increase in fuel performance translated to a savings of $51,000." And Leedy noted these numbers were based on less than a full year of experience with CountryMark's premium fuel at all of their locations. "I'm looking forward to re-calculating our fuel savings once we have a full year of data from all of our locations," said Leedy. Innovative price risk management tools In addition to delivering a product that reduced engine repair expenses and improved fuel economy, John's local cooperative also introduced him to price risk management tools to provide him with more control over his fuel budget. "My account representative recommended a CountryMark flex contract and that worked very well for us this past year," said Leedy. "I worked with my local cooperative to lock in a diesel fuel price I was comfortable with and that allowed me to buy CountryMark's premium diesel fuel for the same price the company had purchased #2 diesel fuel during the previous year. By using the CountryMark price risk management tools, I was able to get a consistently better quality fuel for the fleet at a comparable price to #2 diesel fuel." Quicker starts While few diesel fuels on the market today can deliver a 50 cetane rating, CountryMark's premium diesel fuels can. For Leedy, high cetane is a critical component of a premium diesel fuel, and he and the Erie Haven drivers have experienced the difference a premium diesel fuel can make in how an engine starts and how it runs. "Our drivers could tell the difference in the CountryMark fuel," said Leedy. "CountryMark's premium diesel fuel is a 50 cetane product and the additional cetane helps engines start more quickly. With a #2 diesel fuel it would sometimes take up to 8 seconds for an engine to labor and then finally turn over. But with CountryMark PDR, the engines start immediately. That's less wear and tear on starters and extends battery life. With today's diesel engine technology, I wouldn't want to run anything but a 50 cetane product, especially in the winter months." Summary For John Leedy, reduced injector failures, better fuel economy and quicker starts drive his fuel buying decisions. "I like that CountryMark refines their own fuels, that they control the quality of their fuels from the well head to my fuel tank, and that they deliver a fuel that optimizes lubricity and cetane," said Leedy. "CountryMark's premium diesel fuel allows us to run our trucks at optimal performance levels, and that's important to me and everybody here at Erie Haven Concrete." About Erie Haven Concrete Erie Haven Concrete has been providing superior concrete products and services to commercial and residential customers throughout northeastern Indiana for over 50 years.

Despite the ban, these weapons still use.
In love and war all means are good. From ancient times, mankind has tried to limit the remedies of self-destruction: the Greeks believed the bow a coward's weapon in the middle ages blamed the gun is not humane and infection sources, today we try to prohibit the use of nuclear bombs. Before you the list of weapons so dangerous that formally it is not used in any army in the world. Formally.
Chemical weapons
The Golden age of chemical weapons came during the First world war. However, already in 1928, in Geneva, signed the first Protocol on the prohibition of poisonous gases, which did not prevent either Germany or Japan to use chemical weapons in world war II. In Vietnam the US army was also not averse to chemicals, so we had to ban such weapons again in 1997. But the issue not resolved: formal total destruction of existing chemical weapons stockpiles will be destroyed only by 2020.
In 1942 the US military machine, was a one of the most deadly and most uncontrollable means of mass destruction of the enemy. Napalm was used by Israel, Iraq and Argentina, while the UN adopted in 1980 a Protocol for the prohibition of incendiary weapons. Did the Napalm stockpiles, really? Who knows.
Biological weapons
In 2001, terrorists launched an unprecedented attack, sending around the world a series of letters infected with anthrax. Bacteriological weapons was banned in 1972, but there is little doubt that many countries are developing unique martial strains, the distribution of which can put under question the very existence of mankind.
Climatic weapons
It may seem that the climate impact is possible only in science fiction novels, however, successful examples of environmental conditions was in the days of the Vietnam war. During the so-called operation "Spinach" American scientists have been able to increase the duration of the rainy season that led to flooding and destruction of communications guerrillas. In 1978, adopted the Convention on the prohibition of military impact on the environment: even nuclear weapons deemed less dangerous than the climate. But research in this area is ongoing by a number of countries: USA, China and Russia state that these developments are intended solely for peaceful purposes.
Anti-personnel mines
During the Vietnam war the U.S. army of anti-personnel mines has reached 60%. Mined fields have taken the lives of many years after the fighting, despite the fact that undermining they are already civilians. The ban on use of antipersonnel mines (adopted in Ottawa in 1997) still many countries is considered a mere formality.

Pedi Pen is a compact callus remover that looks like a pen. To remove your calluses, all you'll need to do is rub the end of the device against the skin of one of your callused hands or feet, as if you're writing. The pen is made of surgical stainless steel, so it won't dull or rust, regardless of how old it is or how frequently you use it. As it's about the size of an actual pen, it can be transported in a purse, backpack, suitcase, or briefcase, so you can use it virtually anywhere. Due to the non-slip textured grip around the outside, you'll likely find it extremely comfortable to hold.
When you use the Pedi Pen, you'll be able to make your feet look and feel better in a few minutes or less. If you have dry, cracked skin or calluses, the device will quickly smooth these problem areas out without causing you pain. Since it has a small tip, you'll even be able to use it to smooth out the skin between your toes. Unlike some apparatuses designed for use on the feet, Pedi Pen doesn't have sharp blades that could end up cutting you. It will also remove calluses from your hands, so you won't have to be embarrassed about showing off any of your extremities in public.
The cost of Pedi Pen is $10.00 plus $7.95 shipping. The special TV offer allows you to receive a second Pedi Pen by paying an extra fee of $1.95 for a total price of $19.90.
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page which was taken offline due to Pedi Pen being discontinued. Pedi Pen may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.

As you rub the tip of your Pedi Pen against your skin, the pen will collect dead skin inside the tip, and the elimination of this skin will cause dry patches and calluses to disappear. To empty the pen after you're done using it, you'll simply need to push down on the hygienic wand located on the opposite end from the tip. Following that, the dead skin will fall out into a wastebasket, your toilet, or whatever container you choose to empty it into.
Each Pedi Pen has a small, beveled tip that you'll be able to move precisely along all the curves and contours of your hands and feet, removing every bit of unwanted skin as you go. The tip will work so precisely that you likely won't need to rub down a particular area more than once.
This pen, including the tip, is made of surgical stainless steel, a durable material that will refrain from dulling, rusting, or corroding over time. Therefore, you probably won't need to replace this device for years.
Since the Pedi Pen is similar in size to a pen that you'd write with, you'll be able to store it almost anywhere without taking up more than a few inches of space. You'll also be able to travel with it without feeling as if your bag's at all weighted down.
The Pedi Pen comes in light blue and silver, a color combination that tends to be appealing to both genders. ( If it was pink instead, some men might feel as if they were compromising their masculinity by using it ).
The non-slip handle located at the bottom of each Pedi Pen has been designed to hold your hand in place, so it won't slip off the device as you use it. As you won't need to deal with slipping, you'll likely be able to remove unwanted skin in less time than you would take to do so otherwise.
The Pedi Pen is safe to use in the shower, so if you use it in there, you'll be able to complete two personal hygiene tasks at once. You may find it more pleasant to wash your feet after you've used the Pedi Pen to smooth them out, as your washcloth or loofah won't have any calluses or dry skin to snag.
While you can use your Pedi Pen as you're soaking your feet, it's perfectly safe to use while your feet are dry, too, and won't hurt your skin either way.
Unlike some devices that remove calluses, the Pedi Pen doesn't have sharp blades, so you won't need to worry about accidentally cutting yourself. The lack of sharp blades also makes it safer for kids or teenagers, who may not have much experience with callus removal, to use.
You can get foot paddles that will remove dead skin from the bottoms of your feet, but these aren't as gentle on the skin as the Pedi Pen—in fact, they may scrape it instead. Plus, these paddles are often too wide to be used between the toes.
Getting a pedicure at a salon will make your feet smooth, too, but this will take much more time out of your day than using the Pedi Pen would.

BOA Bank Tanzania is a universal bank offering the classical range of banking services including corporate and retail products. The Bank currently operates from 7 branches (5 in Dar Es Salaam, 1 in Arusha and 1 in Mwanza). The bank has a strong focus on SMEs and with the capital increases in which BIO participted, it aims to expand its network in order to reinforce its geographical presence and to increase its deposit market share.
The Bank's professionalism and its presence in support of local SMEs has much improved since June 2007. Credit to SMEs, using BIO's definition of exposure lower than USD 1m, now represents a quarter of the lending activity of the Bank in volume.
BIO's role in these developments has been significant, first as an early investor in the turnaround process and second as an active participant in the governance of the Bank. The staff has furthermore encouraged BOA Tanzania to partner with BIO's other SME finance clients in Tanzania, such as GroFin and Alios Finance, which has led to a fruitful collaboration for the benefit of local SMEs. Finally BIO supported the implementation of the MSME finance programme, through which training was provided in SME lending and general risk management methodologies.
Development impact:
In 2011, BIO also subsidized a USD 50.000 technical assistance project.

Valentines4Pence aims to show the VP queer folks wont be quiet
While all eyes have been on President Donal Trump, LGBTQ activists and creatives are not letting VP Mike Pence slip under their radar. Pence's stance on LGBTQ issues, from same-sex marriage, to religious freedom, conversion therapy and more, is well documented and he's not a friend of the fam.
But, considering the upcoming holiday, one online creative has created a project to let LGBTQ and allies know his views are not acceptable or feasible as laws.
"This February, love is in the air," reads the intro on Valentines4Pence.com. "Unfortunately, so is a bunch of racist, xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric."
The website invites visitors to pick a valentine from available designs and share them with "America's favorite homophobe," Vice President Mike Pence.
The site's creator hopes "to remind him you're here, you're queer, and you're not backing down."
Check out some of the designs here and visit the website to send one of your own.

The employment ministry says the problem is more acute than in other countries.
Several years ago, a specialist clinic opened to treat the victims of bullying, but to date it has had little impact.
The issue has resurfaced as a result of the case of Sedika Weingärtner, 45, who is suing her former employer, industry giant Siemens, for nearly £2 million.
Ms Weingärtner claims she was bullied for years by her bosses and discriminated against for being a woman and an Arab.
"I was put under massive pressure and was subject to subtle forms of abuse," she said as her case began in a Nuremberg courtroom this week.
"I became so ill that I collapsed in the workplace and had to go to the hospital. I almost died."
Ms Weingärtner came to Germany in 1991 as a single mother with three children after fleeing from Afghanistan, where she had worked in Kabul as a television journalist. She married a German, and in 2001 became a purchasing manager for Siemens, overseeing international projects in China, India and the United States.
Ms Weingärtner claims she was abused by her bosses, who called her names such as "dirt", "sloppy" and "Arab".
In 2004, Siemens asked her to sign an agreement to terminate her contract, but Ms Weingärtner refused.
"Harassment and discrimination cases are piling up, and people don't know how they can defend themselves," said her lawyer, Frank Jansen.
Trade unions and anti-mobbing groups say a fifth of all suicides in Germany – about 2,000 each year – are related to bullying at work.
Billions of pounds are spent in the world's third-largest economy treating victims in hospitals and clinics.
The personnel consulting firm Hill International in Austria, where bullying is also a problem, said: "Mobbing leads to huge economic damage, due to the across-the-board costs it creates with hospital visits, therapies, unemployment assistance and early retirement.
"Above all, every case of mobbing means financial losses on a major scale for each individual firm."
Bullying victims in Germany who have taken their own lives include a policewoman in Munich, a lawyer in Berlin and a hospital worker in Dortmund.
The typical workplace "mobber" is male, a supervisor and aged between 35 and 54.
Almost 44 per cent of victims fall ill because of mobbing, and half of them remain sick for more than six weeks.
Germany's health system has warned that it will need billions more in funding in the near future if it is to treat successfully all the victims of abuse in the workplace.
Suicides Inside France Telecom Prompting Sarkozy Stress TestingFrancis Le Bras discovered he'd become a corporate nobody when his name disappeared from the organizational chart on the wall of his Paris office. In 2008, Le Bras's employer, France Telecom SA, cut his job as a writer of software applications for Minitel, a pre-Internet information service for telephone users. While Le Bras, 56, stayed on the payroll, he had no job title, and he says he was shunned by his colleagues.
"Suddenly I was nothing," says Le Bras, who's taking antidepressants while on long-term sick leave at his home in the Paris suburb of Guyancourt. "People didn't look at me. They didn't know I was there. I thought of suicide."
Le Bras says the support of his wife and three children saved him from adding his name to a dismal roster at France Telecom, the former state monopoly that's still 27 percent owned by French taxpayers, Bloomberg Markets magazine reported in its March issue. Since January 2008, 34 France Telecom employees have committed suicide, the company says. They killed themselves because of work-related stress, according to labor unions and relatives.
On Sept. 15, four days after a 32-year-old France Telecom employee identified publicly only as Stephanie jumped to her death from an office window, Nicolas Sarkozy's government became involved. French Labor Minister Xavier Darcos ordered France Telecom Chief Executive Officer Didier Lombard to meet with unions to find ways to reduce stress and detect potentially suicidal behavior.
National Debate
Those deaths have triggered a national debate about whether they're evidence of a wider malaise in French factories and offices. France may be the land of the 35-hour workweek and the monthlong summer vacation, yet it had a suicide rate of 17.6 per 100,000 people in 2005, the third highest among Group of Eight countries. (Russia and Japan were first and second.)
Workplace suicides aren't limited to France Telecom. Three employees killed themselves within the space of four months in late 2006 and early 2007 at carmaker Renault SA's technical development center near Paris. In 2008, there were 12 suicides directly resulting from work-related stress in French banks, according to the Syndicat National de la Banque et du Credit, a financial industry labor union.
France's remote, impersonal management culture creates tense, conflict-ridden workplaces, says Patrick Legeron, a psychiatrist and CEO of Stimulus, a Paris-based company that advises employers and unions on how to reduce job-related mental illness.
Technocratic Management
"In France, executives are expected to have the right diplomas and be technically competent rather than be any good at managing people," says Legeron, who wrote a report for the Labor Ministry in 2008 to recommend ways to monitor workplace stress. "French managers relegate everything to do with human relations to second place."
France's 35-hour workweek, in force for large companies since 2000 and for small businesses since 2002, raises the heat for employees with managers determined to make their financial targets, says Bernard Salengro, president of the Syndicat des Medecins du Travail, the national association for doctors who conduct health checks on workers.
"Employers are now trying to squeeze even more work out of their employees in order to get back the missing five hours," Salengro says. "It lays the ground for the increase of stress and violence at work."
Still Competitive
Even with reduced hours, France remains competitive. In 2008, it had the highest hourly productivity among the European Union's largest economies, according to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Taking the U.S. as a base of 100, France scored 98.2 for gross domestic product per hour compared with 92.8 for Germany, 83.1 for the U.K. and 73 for Italy.
At France Telecom, unions, workers and academics say, the combination of global competition and French job protection rules helped create a brutal corporate culture, where unwanted staff like Le Bras were sidelined into menial jobs and even bullied into resigning. Two-thirds of France Telecom's 103,000- strong domestic workforce can't be fired because they're classified as civil servants. The company has still reduced its France-based payroll by about 15,000 since 2006.
Under Pressure
"France Telecom used to live off voluntary departures, retirements and buying people out to shrink its payroll, but now they can't do it the old-fashioned way," says Bill Stewart, a professor of business administration at the American University of Paris and former head of the Economics Department at Ecole de Management de Lyon. "Managers are clearly under pressure to make their head-count numbers, but they can't easily get rid of people."
The cluster of suicides at France Telecom exceeds those reported at any other French company in recent years. While declining to speculate publicly about the cause of the suicides, Lombard says he'll introduce a program for a more humane working environment this year. One in four of the company's domestic employees consider themselves "psychologically vulnerable," according to a survey commissioned by France Telecom in the wake of the suicides.
"For me, it is unacceptable for some of our staff to feel stressed when they arrive at work," Lombard, 67, said at a meeting on workplace conditions with union representatives in October.
Management Shakeup
On Oct. 5, France Telecom announced the resignation of Deputy CEO Louis-Pierre Wenes. Labor unions had called for the dismissal of Wenes, who was in charge of restructuring. Wenes's replacement, Stephane Richard, was chief of staff at France's Finance Ministry from May 2007 to September 2009, when he joined France Telecom as head of international operations.
Richard, 48, will succeed Lombard as CEO by 2011, according to France Telecom. The company declined to comment on a Jan. 21 report in France's La Tribune newspaper that Richard would take the top job as early as June, with Lombard keeping the title of chairman.
Lombard and Richard's negotiations with unions, which had been scheduled to conclude at the end of 2009, may now drag on into February, says Bertrand Deronchaine, a France Telecom spokesman.
"There is no legal deadline in order to conclude these discussions," he said on Jan. 6. Lombard and Richard declined to be interviewed for this story.
'Schizophrenic' Government
France Telecom's management is being placed in an impossible position by its main shareholder, says Elie Cohen, economist at the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris.
"The French government is acting in a schizophrenic way," says Cohen, who was an outside director at the communications company from 1991 to 1995. "On one hand, the state demands that France Telecom perform like a private company in a liberalized market. On the other, it refuses to allow Lombard to manage the payroll according to market forces."
Estimates of how many suicides in France are work related vary. In 2008, private-sector employers reported 49 suicides stemming from "professional causes," based on data compiled by Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs Salaries, France's state-funded health insurer. Dominique Huez, a doctor who has studied workplace depression, says the real figure may be as many as 3,000 deaths, or about 30 percent of the total number of suicides in 2007, the last year for which statistics are available.
Next-Desk Rivals
Some of the blame for the tension inside French companies rests with an educational system that churns out technocrats incapable of leadership and teamwork, says William Dab, France's former director general of health, the country's equivalent of the U.S. surgeon general. In 2008, Dab wrote a government- commissioned report recommending that health management play a central role in business school programs.
"Our chief executives come out of a school system based on individual competition," says Dab, now a professor at the Pasteur-Cnam School of Public Health in Paris. "They're the product of 10 years of education where it's been drilled into them that the guy at the desk next to them is a rival."
France's elite colleges, called "grandes ecoles," are largely to blame for the callous, imperious style of many managers, says Marie Peze, a clinical psychologist in Paris who specializes in work-related mental illnesses. Among France's 40 largest companies by market value, 29 CEOs are graduates of the five most-prestigious grandes ecoles, which include the Ecole Polytechnique and the Ecole des Mines in Paris and the Ecole Nationale d'Administration in Strasbourg.
'Workers Know Nothing'
"Our technocracy, the elite of the French nation produced by the grandes ecoles, have a sovereign contempt for ordinary employees," says Peze, whose clinic, called Suffering & Work, treats about 900 patients annually. "As far as they are concerned, their workers know nothing."
Pressure to perform is increasing employee stress and depression, says Emmanuel Charlot, marketing manager at Psya, a psychiatric counseling company in Paris that advises companies and labor unions. Mental health problems account for 27 percent of all workplace referrals to doctors, exceeding physical complaints such as repetitive strain injuries, according to French government statistics.
Finding a solution to the workplace suicide crisis is also complicated by the array of unions found at most large French companies. Under French law, companies with 11 or more employees must allow them to elect union or staff representatives.
The France Telecom workplace talks, for example, involve six separate unions, including the CFE-CGC and the CFTC, which represent managerial staff.
Job Protection
France Telecom's quest to compete globally is hindered by the country's stringent employment-security provisions, says Philippe Francois, an analyst at Ifrap, a Paris-based research group that promotes free-market economics.
"The employment-protection laws are a terrible handicap for French companies that must compete internationally," Francois says. "Managers stop hiring people because they know that in a downturn, they won't be able to fire them."
Ludovic Nonclercq, a software engineer at France Telecom, says his own seemingly safe position proved more of a curse than a blessing. In 2008, his managers criticized his work writing billing systems for customers in developing countries.
Nonclercq, 42, says he was told that his job no longer existed, and while he wasn't fired, it became clear to him that there was no reason to come to the office. Nonclercq sank into depression and felt so humiliated that he once burst into tears at the office at a meeting with human resources. He says the HR manager offered a piece of candy as consolation.
'Brutalized' Employees
The software engineer says he visualized himself dangling from the electrical wires that run along an alley behind his two-story house in Melun, 27 miles (43 kilometers) southeast of Paris. His doctor prescribed antidepressants and put him on sick leave.
Nonclercq says France Telecom doesn't accept his sickness as work related. Surrounded in his living room by photos of his wife and three young boys, Nonclercq says that France's labor- protection measures may have contributed to his woes. His mental health might have been better if he had simply been fired, he says.
"Companies can't fire employees, so they brutalize them instead," says Nonclercq, who is retraining as a carpenter. "And because jobs are so protected, they're hard to get, and losing them is a catastrophe."
France Telecom declined to comment on any individual employee's situation.
Three Suicide Attempts
Michel, a former senior engineer at Electricite de France SA who asked that his surname not be used, is another example of a worker in medical-related limbo. During a meeting with a reporter at his home in a Paris suburb, Michel recalled how he transferred to EDF's human resources department in 2004 to a new position advising employees who were looking for another job in the company.
Two years later, Michel was demoted to doing secretarial work by a new manager, who also sent him an e-mail outlining a set of alleged shortcomings, he says. Since 2007, Michel has been on medication and has taken permanent sick leave, and he now leaves home only to see his doctor. He says he has tried to kill himself three times, once by hanging and twice with a knife.
"Currently, my state of mind is such that if I went back to work, I'd throw myself under a train," he says, wiping tears away with a tissue.
Anti-Boss Song
To pass the time, Michel, who pads around his home dressed in wrinkled gray chinos and slippers, composes songs in his cramped back room.
One recent composition is called "Plea Against Suffering at Work," sung to the music of "Internationale," the socialist marching anthem. "We're all ill, and it's the fault of our bosses," his lyrics go.
While Michel's wife and three grown-up children keep an eye on him, EDF provides financial support. More than two years after he left work, he still draws his full annual salary. EDF is one of about 150 large and midsize French companies that subscribe to Psya's 24-hour, year-round telephone hot line for employees with work-related psychiatric problems.
On a November afternoon, four psychiatrists sit by telephones in a small room at Psya's second-floor office overlooking the traffic-clogged Rue La Fayette in central Paris. A phone rings -- one of about 6,000 calls the hot line took in 2009, about 20 percent more than in 2008.
'Managers are Driven'
As banks cut jobs in the wake of the global downturn, more clients from the financial services industry are seeking help, Charlot says.
"Ten years ago, if you worked in a French bank, you were almost a civil servant," he says. "Now, managers are driven very, very hard to deliver profits."
One executive on the Paris trading floor at Societe Generale SA, France's second-largest bank, says she has taken repeated sick leaves for depression and stress since the start of 2008. Her problems began in the wake of the revelation in January 2008 that Jerome Kerviel, a trader at Societe Generale, had lost 4.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in false trades. Senior managers questioned her competence, says the executive, who asked to remain anonymous.
"Throughout the day, they tell you that you're worthless and understand nothing, without giving you any help," she says. "Without the support of my family, my friends and the unions, I would have thrown myself under a subway train a long time ago."
Government Pressure
It's not just France Telecom that is under pressure to introduce a more-sympathetic corporate culture. Labor Minister Darcos has told about 2,500 French companies with more than 1,000 employees to hold talks with unions on how to reduce workplace stress. The government plans to publish in February the names of companies that have introduced workplace reforms and another list of those that have done nothing.
For Le Bras, the France Telecom worker who contemplated suicide, any change in the corporate culture can't come soon enough. He says the memory of his job elimination two years ago still rankles.
"I had to write a CV and show up for interviews like a new hire, even though I'd been there 20 years," he says.
After a sick leave, Le Bras says he's looking forward to returning to a new position as part of the team maintaining Minitel, the information service that's been overtaken by online search engines. While that may help Le Bras regain his self- confidence, it will do little to keep his company globally competitive.source

Genesis 24:26-48 New International Version (NIV)
26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the Lord, 27 saying, "Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
28 The young woman ran and told her mother's household about these things. 29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he hurried out to the man at the spring. 30 As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring. 31 "Come, you who are blessed by the Lord," he said. "Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
32 So the man went to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and fodder were brought for the camels, and water for him and his men to wash their feet. 33 Then food was set before him, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say."
"Then tell us," Laban said.
34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant. 35 The Lord has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 My master's wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns. 37 And my master made me swear an oath, and said, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live, 38 but go to my father's family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son.'
39 "Then I asked my master, 'What if the woman will not come back with me?'
40 "He replied, 'The Lord, before whom I have walked faithfully, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father's family. 41 You will be released from my oath if, when you go to my clan, they refuse to give her to you—then you will be released from my oath.'
42 "When I came to the spring today, I said, 'Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come. 43 See, I am standing beside this spring. If a young woman comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please let me drink a little water from your jar," 44 and if she says to me, "Drink, and I'll draw water for your camels too," let her be the one the Lord has chosen for my master's son.'
45 "Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
46 "She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
47 "I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?'
"She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.'
"Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms, 48 and I bowed down and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son.

The journey began long ago. Now plz don't go too much in flash back, by long ago I meant when Aamir Khan was farmer in Bhuj (in lagaan), Sunny Deol was shouting "Hindustan zindabad tha hai aur rahega" and bebo was new in film industry. Hope u got the era. I was in 6- 7 std at that time. Since that very tender age I started appreciating beauty (only female) and till this date I have never looked back.
During this past one decade I have done my masters in One Sided LOVE (OSL). Well it's a very difficult subject and very few are forced to QUALIFY to opt it. I won't name them but many of my college friends have secretly studied it. Perhaps looking at the present scenario we may be compelled to do PhD also. Nonetheless, we'll try hard to disqualify the exam.
Well believe it or not One Sided Love or OSL is very efficient. It is because of OSL that recession didn't affect us. In OSL there is no rona dhona during break up because it's a closed loop, another girl waiting in queue occupy that position.
Some people call it "tharakpana", which sounds slang so I use "nayan suckh prapti" which in turn sounds more decent and mature.
Regarding the level of secrecy it is more than what CIA or FBI maintains. The girl never knows that she is my crush. This helps in having multiple girl friends. However, there is possibility that the girl in the meantime makes bf. But don't worry u can still dine with her at some offset (may be few sits away).
Everyone in his life time would have experienced OSL. First time I experienced OSL in 7th std then in 10th. In college, I ve been experiencing it since my very 1st day. Frankly speaking even today I felt osl.
Having OSL is not like being a 'kati patang' rather it means u are dark horse which will one day succeed nevertheless no one knows when that day will come. But be sanguine and say "aal izz well".
Technically speaking due to less number of female someone has to opt OSL. Its just like everybody cant get good college.
Guys in there late teen age and early twenties are constantly under suspicion and are persistently bombarded with questions like "do u have gf?". If answer is in negation then be ready for the second fire "larkion ko dekhte hi ho gay" (the word gay is in hindi don't take it otherwise).
Well it becomes very thorny to answer such cliché when it is asked by your relative. If u say yes then they start teasing u and if u negate then they say that u are lying which become more prominent if u are doing mechanical engineering.

Dress: c/o Vineyard Vines (runs big, size down!) I am OBSESSED with this dress. It's so pretty and classic and works for so many occasions, too–not just weddings! You can wear it with espadrille wedges like these to dress it down! Shoes: Sam Edelman Yaro Sandals (they're super comfy–a bunch of my friends have them too and everyone loves them! Like any sandals, they do require some breaking in–but after my first wear, they really comfortable as far as heels are concerned.) Go down 1/2 size if you're in-between! Earrings: Amazon! Haha! Best budget buy EVER! They're super lightweight and I have sensitive ears and these don't bother me! Bag: Cult Gaia Ark Bag (the one I'm wearing here is the size large, but if I were to buy it again I would get the smaller size). Lipstick: Armani Lip Maestro color #500
What to wear to a Spring wedding:
Spring Wedding Guest Dresses: Cocktail Attire
Spring Wedding Guest Dresses: A Black Tie Affair
My experience with renting:
Spring Day vs Night Wedding:
One thing to note is that if the wedding is during the day, you can get away with dressing a little less formal than if it were at night. Also consider the setting–while a a barn, backyard, garden, glitzy hotel and country club might all be "cocktail" attire, for example, you can easily feel great wearing a more casual floral sundress to one, whereas you'll probably feel underdressed wearing that to a fancy hotel. Also, if the wedding is outdoors at night, it's always a good idea to bring a wrap like this one just in case it gets chilly!
Spring Wedding Guest Accessories:
You will rarely see me at a wedding not wearing a pair of nude heels–9 times out of 10, they're the most ideal choice! Invest in one good pair that you'll wear all wedding season long for years to come. Here are some great pairs:
The Sam Edelman Yaro sandals are awesome and get my pick for the perfect wedding shoes. They're minimalistic (so they go with everything and let your dress do the talking) and are comfy as far as heels are concerned. I have them in cork but also want to get them in regular nude!
A plus for patent: If you're accident prone, consider going with a patent leather shoe. They wipe clean so even if a sloppy groomsmen sloshes his red wine all over them–it won't ruin your night!
Stuart Weitzman Nearly Nude Sandals: I don't own these so I can't vouch personally, but these are a cult classic and everyone I know who has them swears they are the comfiest heels you will ever buy. I've been contemplating getting a pair but haven't pulled the trigger.
Ah, the age old question. Can you wear flats to a wedding? Of course you can! If you're able to, I'd personally swing for a TINY bit of a heel (like these, for example), just because they look so much cuter and more fitting with a formal dress than straight up flats, but if you can't have any heel, that's okay too! I'm including lot's of flats options below!
Bags and Wraps:
The basket bag trend is back again this year and I could not be happier about it. I love that these are neutral but make a statement at the same time. Here are some of my favorite handbags for all types of weddings! I also love a good tortoise clutch–this one is only $50!
Also, if you'll be attending a night wedding outside, it's always a good idea to bring a wrap! Often times they'll fold up small enough to fit into your clutch and you don't want to be caught freezing! This one is under $100 and comes in tons of colors! Blush is probably the most versatile for a spring wedding in my opinion, because it's a neutral that goes with everything!
When it comes to jewelry, I usually go with more of a statement earring and a dainty, barely there necklace. My two favorite earring brands are Baublebar and Kendra Scott. They always have really cute designs that aren't crazy expensive!
Other Wedding Guest Attire FAQ's:
Can you wear a red dress to a wedding? I've heard that's taboo!
Haha I get this question every so often and I have NO IDEA where this comes from. I've never heard this before and I've worn red to weddings before and it's a pretty common color that you see, so I think this must be an old wives tale 😂 I wouldn't worry about it! (I actually just asked my mom about this one and she laughed and said she hadn't ever heard of it either) The only color you need to worry about is white–NEVER wear white–that's just for the bride!
Some of you responded to this and said that this is a southern thing–the thought is that it's too flashy. (This sounds very old world to me but maybe keep in mind if you're attending a wedding in the South?) Also, in some cultures the bride wears red, so be mindful of that–if the wedding you're attending doesn't fall into either of these categories, I don't see any concern over wearing red 😂
If you had to pick one dress to buy that would be the most versatile for different types of weddings, what would it be?
A mid-length black dress–with a simple switch of footwear, you can wear it to any kind of wedding from back yard to black tie–like this one from Topshop (on sale for $33!) It's perfect to wear for any season, too!
Do you have any advice when it comes to buying footwear for wedding season?
You definitely want something comfortable and versatile that will work for all kinds of settings. A nude sandal with a chunky heel or a wedge is definitely going to be your best bet–keep in mid, stilettos don't work for any outdoor settings because they'll sink in the grass or sand! Also, patent leather is always the safest bet because it cleans so much more easily than regular leather. See more details in the "shoe" section above!
Can I wear a jumpsuit to a wedding?
You definitely CAN wear a jumpsuit to a wedding if you're the kind of person who loathes dresses. However, it really does need to be the RIGHT jumpsuit, otherwise you'll look too casual and out of place. A feminine cut in drapy fabric is great. Also, black always looks more formal than any other color. I really like this one and this one! You'll definitely want to wear it with a heel to offset the fact that jumpsuits are just more casual in general–flats would look too dressed-down and can run the risk of looking frumpy.
Is there anything totally off limits when it comes to what to wear to a wedding?
The only thing TOTALLY off the table is white. Honestly, even wearing a super pale color (very pale yellow, nearly white blush, for example) can be awkward because it certain light people will think you're wearing white! If you're the kind of person who might be self-conscious about that, just steer away from any color that could be interpreted as white. I would also be mindful of the setting–I've attended a 3pm church wedding before where girls were wearing outfits that looked more suitable for a Vegas bachelorette party–awkward! 😂

I've been planning to make this glorious number since Saturday morning, when we bought our rye loaf. I was waiting for it to get a bit stale, and then life happened, and now I had no choice but to put all life events on hold until this got made (and sometimes one just really needs to forcefully press "pause" in life and accept that things will not fall apart).Worth it? Oh yes.
For inspiration I was totally immersed in Jackie's way of making french toast – the idea of stuffing the slice of bread itself instead of mashing two bits together is so imminently practical, so I had to replicate that trick here.
Ingredients (serves 3-6):
- 3 thick slices of rye or plain ciabatta or french loaf, somewhat stale (approx 4 – 5 cm thick)
- 1/2 tub tofu//1/2 cup (if you're something of a purist you can sub this for an equal portion of red beans)
- 1 TBSP cacao powder
- 2 TBSP carob nuggets
- 1/2 cup pitted cherries, fresh, measured then chopped finely
- 1 – 2 TBSP liquid sweetener of choice
- 1 TBSP applesauce
- 1 TBSP vanilla essence
Pouring sauce:
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 TBSP coffee powder
- 2 TBSP liquid sweetener (I used NuNaturals Simple Syrup)
- 2 TBSP caramel extract
- 1/3 cup carob nuggets
- Cinnamon to taste
Optional: nuts
- Preheat the oven to 180C and spray a 8″ round pan.
- Blend your filling except the cherries until smooth.
- Slice into the middle of your loaf slices along the top crust and create a pocket (be careful not to poke out on the sides).
- Stuff your slices evenly with the filling, then place flat next to each other in your baking pan.
- Blend your pouring sauce and pour that over the loaf slices, using a spoon to lift the pieces and make sure they are coated all round and on the sides.
- Sprinkle your carob nuggets on top and splash on lots of cinnamon.
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes and serve warm with syrup or not (I thought it was sweet and moist enough without).
Man-thing says it's like bread pudding which is a good thing I guess – the not-so-sweet tofu filling mixed with the little chocolate nugget toppings and the soft squishy pumpkin mocha sensation all round is just rather fabulous, I must say. Plus, one of these is hellishly filling, which is why you can even half it for a really scrumptious teatime snack.
Because I used a slightly dense rye bread (yum) the pumpkin sauce didn't quite hit the centre, but that doesn't mean the centre at all lacked gooey goodness. If you like your french toast crispy you can just bake it a bit longer or grill it, but I loved how soft it came out.
Anyhow, working on a savoury version today for WIAW – going to be a treat! 😀


text: Posted August 10, 2015 Hi there, I am looking for a B767 addon that does particulary well for hand flying. It needs to have an accurate/realistic flight model and accurate EPR indications for the PW engines. I dont mind it being a systems simulation at the same time, but that is not a requirement. All info I found about the B767 by level D is that it does not have EPR indication for the PW engines. The flight model is said to be very good though. I was wondering if any of the Level D updates that came out over the years ever added EPR for PW engines? Another option would be the Capt sim 767, which does have different engine options including EPR for PW if I am not mistaken, but I dont know how their flight model is. Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
