In medieval Europe, rhubarb was a rare luxury. In fact, being several times the price of other valuable herbs and spices such as cinnamon, opium, and saffron, only the very rich could afford to indulge in its unique, tart flavour.
Today things have changed and the rhubarb has fallen out of favour. To make matters worse, shop bought rhubarb stalks are generally undersized, poorly flavoured and limp-looking. Of course this is not the rhubarb plants fault, because (as anyone who has eaten freshly grown and cooked rhubarb would know) rhubarb is genuinely a king amongst temperate fruit. I do realise that rhubarb is not a botanical fruit.
While rhubarb is usually sold as pot-grown stock in the spring, there is nothing stopping you from growing your own plants from seed. Of course the various rhubarb cultivars will not grow true to the parent plants, but there are a small number of specialist varieties which will. The most popular being Rhubarb 'Glaskins Perpetual'.
Prepare the soil in advance over the autumn or winter by digging in plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. Remove all weeds, especially perennial weeds.
Using a large modular seed tray, or 3 inch pots, fill with a good quality compost such as John Innes 'Seed and Cutting'. Sow rhubarb seeds individually at a rate of one seed per pot, or module, at a depth of ¼ inch anytime from March to April. Gently water in the place the tray or pots inside a heated a propagator at a temperature of between 20-25 degrees Celsius. Alternatively seal inside a clear polythene bag and leave on a warm bright windowsill. Germination will usually take between 21- 40 days. Keep the soil damp but avoid waterlogging.
Once the seedlings have emerged, remove them from the propagator or bag. Leave them where they are a week or so before moving them outside to a cold frame. Once the root systems have established they can be hardened off before planting out in late spring. If late frosts are forecasted, wait until these have passed before planting. Transplant rhubarb carefully, disturb the roots as little as possible, allowing 3ft between each plant.
Harvest from the second year onwards removing stems from April to June.

A Comfortable Stretch
Logicalis's Gary Hall explains how he integrated the company's finance team with the rest of the business while increasing its flexibility
Gary Hall, Logicalis Eric Hoffman
By	Will Grant
Though Gary Hall is a veteran of international IT solutions and managed-services provider Logicalis, his upward trajectory in the company necessitated a literal lateral move across the Atlantic Ocean in 2017. The current vice president of finance and controller was eager to manage a larger group, and that meant relocating from the town of Slough, in England, to Detroit.
Fortunately, Hall already had experience as a globetrotter. His father had been a member of the British army, and Hall had lived in a number of foreign countries as a child. Additionally, "it was great that I already had a sound understanding of what the company did," Hall says. "More importantly, I understood what the expectations were from the head office in terms of the reporting requirements and communication expectations." Since coming to the States, Hall has labored extensively to cultivate similar flexibility and business savvy in a finance team that otherwise could have remained heavily siloed.
One of the challenges that Hall quickly identified in Michigan was employee satisfaction. "We have a lot of employees that have been here for a long period of time," Hall says. "That's a great positive for the company, in that it means people want to be here, but that also provides some challenges, in that people become set in their ways and sometimes lose perspective of some of the new things that are developing in the business environment."
Fortunately, Hall was able to add two team members whose job roles and descriptions had been completely rewritten to reflect a more flexible and dynamic working environment. "I wanted to give those new employees the expectations that they would be taking on more varied tasks," Hall says. "That allowed me to begin that process of sharing tasks around and also made people who had been here longer more comfortable in joining that process." It also helped initiate the sharing of processes because the new team members were prepared to help right away.
Hall sees training his team to be more flexible as imperative in the ever-evolving modern IT environment. Also, "from an individual's perspective, it creates far more interesting roles," he says. "Being part of a team creates more job satisfaction and increases the career development for them." Hall also believes it helps create job security; the rise of automation and the potential of Logicalis to shift directions mean the more roles a team member can play, the more easily their role can be refocused.
"Logicalis is significantly more flexible in terms of being able to manage workloads more efficiently."
Additionally, from Logicalis's standpoint, flexible employees ensure more shared expertise. "Logicalis is significantly more flexible in terms of being able to manage workloads more efficiently and not necessarily needing to create more of these individual roles because they can be shared amongst the team," Hall says. It also prevents huge knowledge gaps from occurring, should a team member leave.
Flexibility has also come in handy as more customers have transitioned to the cloud. "Companies are becoming less willing to purchase large equipment, whether it's servers or storage, upfront," Hall says. "They would prefer to pay for that over a period of time. Cloud environments have reduced the need for companies to invest in their own IT infrastructure."
Adopting alternative-financing solutions for customers has become essential. Logicalis's own service offerings, including Internet of Things (IoT)/analytics, disaster recovery, data backup, cybersecurity, and network monitoring, allow the company to develop closer and more positively entangled relationships with its customers. "There are a number of public cloud opportunities that we can help customers transition onto, but we also provide the ability to develop certain private cloud environments, or they can utilize Logicalis's cloud environment as well," Hall says.
Hall believes it's his finance team's role to continue to find ways to support the sales department by continually diversifying its options. "We don't want to be seen as a hindrance to any of the sales processes," Hall says. "We need to be able to support the developments in the market."
That often means maintaining a difficult balance. "Sometimes it's a fine line between creating enough flexibility to support everything the sales team needs to be able to do while still maintaining sufficient controls and complying with the regulatory frameworks," Hall says.
Given how far he's gotten his team to stretch so far, though, he's optimistic he'll be able to continue to carry it forward.

Members played sports such as darts, pool and shuffleboard. They held social events, often with live music, in single-floor buildings that very rarely had windows. The drinks were cheap, as was the food. Hats were removed indoors out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, whose photo still hangs on the wall in every branch.
The only real cost was membership, open to those who had served their country and their families for a modest fee, but as numbers dwindled and more popular, less-exclusive bars and pubs began to open up, the Legions of yesteryear faced a crisis — update or face disappearance.
For two Legion branches in Calgary — No. 238, in Bowness, an old-school clubhouse where tradition and decor are left very much unchanged, and No. 264, in Kensington, a newly-built $14 million four-story property designed to attract both members and non-members alike — the result is a divide into two camps: The old guard lamenting about the inevitable need to update and the loss it could cause, and those eager to revitalize the face of the Legion by any means necessary.

For 44 years, Dominion Treasurer Mark Barham has been a member of Legion branches across Canada. Hailing from a family of Second World War veterans, Barham's first branch was No. 23 in North Bay, Ont. From there, he moved to others in St. John, Whitby and Winnipeg before settling in Calgary and getting involved at No. 264 in Kensington 10 years ago.
Upon joining the Kensington branch, Barham began to realize that the old building was "well past its due date," and in need of repairs.
The "swap" was a land trade between the Kensington Legion and Calgary-based developers Truman Homes for the property immediately next to the Legion site. The old Legion building would be torn down and replaced with a 220-condominium building, and, in return, Truman Homes would cover the costs to build a new branch on the property next door.
After 18 months of building, the result is a four-story, $14 million Legion branch unlike any other.
At 36,000 sq. ft., it boasts a full restaurant — the 1918 Tap & Table, open to the public and with 28-foot high windows — and a Members Lounge on the second floor, with the third floor to be leased for office space and the fourth being used for catered events.

Barham describes the new building, which opened June 20, 2017, as a "four-stream revenue opportunity" comprised of the restaurant, membership, leasing and event-hosting. The old building, which was built in 1956, was torn down nearly a year later, on June 4, 2018.
Dominion Treasure Mark Barham sits inside the 1918 Tap & Table. The original address for the building was 1910 Kensington Road, but Barham petitioned the city to change it to 1918 to mark the end of the First World War. Photo by Alec Warkentin.
Barham, who describes the new branch as a "power centre," explains that there is an "absolute need" for Legions to re-invigorate, and is unsure of what might happen if other Legions choose not to. This includes attracting younger members to help supplement the rising age of veterans.
He explains that nationally, 75 per cent of Legion members are 75 years or older, but the gearing of the new Legion building towards a younger audience has resulted in both an increase in membership and a quadrupling of sales volume in the year since the opening.
This brings the total number of members to "just under 1900" says Barham, who anticipates surpassing 2000 members by the end of 2018.

This "new" approach to the Legion also involves a relaxing of certain social convention and traditions, such as the the need remove one's hat upon entering the building out of respect for the Queen, whose photo still hangs on a wall.

Barham explains that while each Legion branch is autonomous, there are a set of regulations they live by. There is also the pre-conceived notion of what a Legion should be and look like, and the reception of Branch No. 264 hasn't always positive.
Branch No. 238 in Bowness. Originally built in 1962, the branch is home to 700 members. Photo by Alec Warkentin.
Brian Grewcutt, current president of RCL Branch No. 238, joined the Bowness Legion in 1970, when he turned 18, through his father who, like Barham's, was a war veteran. He's remained involved with the same branch, which opened in 1962, ever since.
Bowness Legion president Brian Grewcutt sits in the branch canteen. While Grewcutt knows that change is inevitable, it also comes at a cost. Photo by Alec Warkentin.
The Bowness branch represents a distinct change from the glitz of the new Kensington building. The air has a slight lived-in smell. The walls are adorned with old photographs of past branch presidents, the former Ladies Auxiliary group and, of course, the Queen. Beer costs $5 a bottle, and is advertised on old wall hangings next to the serving windows that lead to the kitchen. Apart from the membership, not much has changed in this branch over the decades.
"People were still responsible, but they didn't have to worry about some 'big brother' sitting around the corner waiting for them to get in their cars or anything," says Grewcutt, laughing. By 'big brother,' he is referring to the police.
"I think that made a big difference, too, in our attendance, and, because we're in the middle of the community, it's easy-access to walk over here for a lot of people who live in the area," he explains before diving back into thoughts of the old days of the Bowness Legion.

Grewcutt explains that although the membership numbers fluctuate, it tends to hover between "700 and 750," with old members that leave being replaced regularly with new ones.
The rise is generally seen during Stampede Week every July when the Legion is open to the public, and is usually comprised of young people. Grewcutt attests this to modestly-priced beer sold at the canteen. Another major draw, he explains, are those interested in the sports offered by the Legion, primarily shuffleboard and pool, but especially darts.

Similarly to the Kensington Legion, members are discouraged from wearing hats indoors, but the Bowness Legion also discourages other things such as the use of bad language.
"All you can do is ask people to be respectful of who's around you when you're talking, and if you're using bad language and they complain? Sorry, we gotta say goodbye to you for a week, or two weeks, or three months," Grewcutt says, referring to suspensions that can be doled out as a consequence of complaints. However, he further explains that such suspensions rarely happen.
Like all Legions, Branch No. 238 features a photo of Queen Elizabeth II on the second floor of their building. Photo by Alec Warkentin.
When asked, Grewcutt explains that he's only been to the Legion in Kensington once, but has seen many members transfer from the new branch since it opened its doors.
Furthermore, Grewcutt laments the loss of the old Kensington branch.

Grewcutt stresses that this is his personal opinion, and that he might be wrong.
When it comes to the Bowness branch, Grewcutt explains that he doesn't feel pressure to update anything, but knows change is inevitable.
The Bowness Legion was approached by one developer interested in buying the building, but when Grewcutt invited them to a meeting with the members to pitch their plan, they never showed up.
A handbook nestled in the pool cues of the Bowness Legion reads: "It is an honour to be a Legion member, not a privledge [sic]." Photo by Alec Warkentin.
Another worry, though, for Grewcutt is that new veterans — those who served in Afghanistan and Iraq — aren't signing up for the Legion.

Schools in Malawi's two largest cities, Lilongwe and Blantyre, have reopened after a two-week suspension caused by a cholera outbreak. The bacterial illness has killed close to 800 people, more than 100 of them children, and affected more than 25,000.
Malawi's government announced measures to prevent cholera from spreading in schools, including fixing broken boreholes and water taps in the schools and banning the sale of cooked food around school premises. Additionally, the U.N.'s children's agency, UNICEF, has started distributing anti-cholera supplies in schools in areas most affected by the outbreak.

However, despite these measures, the government has warned that they may close the schools again if the outbreak spreads among students at an unmanageable level. This news has caused visible excitement among students when schools reopened Tuesday in Lilongwe and Blantyre.
Many students were worried about the closure's impact on their ability to pass national examinations this year. Ronnie Lutepo, a student at Michiru View secondary school in Blantyre, said returning to the school was the best thing he hoped for. "Yes, as I was at home my mum was telling me to study, but being in an examination class affected me badly," he said. "We are all supposed to be here and ready for the exams and if we are not ready, we are not going to get good grades."

The reopening of the schools is an important step in preventing the further spread of cholera. However, it is crucial for the government and schools to continue to take necessary precautions to protect the students and staff from this deadly disease.

There are two main causes of premature ejaculation and they are as follow:

For example, you met a very gorgeous lady that you assume to be superior, and then one thing led to the other and you guys are now about to have sex. You don't know if she is really comfortable with what you are doing and the emotional hype of the moment makes the guy ejaculates prematurely.
Also if the lady is a very beautiful girl that you have worked so hard to convince her, you are very likely to experience premature ejaculation because of anxiety and inferiority complex. The remedy is to build your self confidence and do not see any girl as a demi-god
2. Desperation
Domestic misunderstanding is a frequent cause of premature ejaculation in relationships. If the girl is not comfortable with having sex with you, then, you are likely to end up in premature ejaculation because you are desperate to penetrate her.

To correct this, you must make peace with your partner. Ask her to help you by giving you her consent to have sex and having sex with you with all her heart.
3. Guilt
Some people sleep with married women or other females that are not there partners, as a result they feel guilty and are scared of being caught in the act. These triggers a chain of events in the brain that stimulates the responsible hormone to make the man ejaculate quickly.
Also, if you are having sex in an in-conducive environment where you are very likely to be caught, you will most certainly have premature ejaculation the moment you hear the sound of someone's approach. Remedy, do not have sex with married women or your friend's girlfriends, and stay indoors.

Generally, note that premature ejaculation works with a positive feedback mechanism. This means that one premature ejaculation begats another. Because it is an ugly incident that has started, all your mind will be on it next time you wanna have sex and this makes it a self fulfilling prophecy. This is because all your mind has been there and you are so fixated and afraid of it repeating again.

There are indeed many talented chaps in Biafraland; these people are not only creative, some of them are intelligent too and have the ability to invent things that are remarkable and useful to those in the society and outside it.
The invented goggles made by Achilefu can help surgeons see cancerous cells during surgery.
Samuel Achilefu is a Biafran who was born in the mid-60s, during the period when the First Biafran civil war was on. His father as at that time was working with hospitals and clinics before the war started. It was in the war broke out.
Also Read – A Biafran Who Emigrated To The USA After The Biafran Genocide Has Been Recorgnised As Among Top 10 Most Intelligent People In The World
The Biafran war affected thousands of Biafrans who had to relocate and move away from the heat of the war. Achilefu and his family members were forced to leave the north and relocate to the east.This made them lose all they had as they could not leave with all their things. He, along with everyone else, lived with his uncle who took them in for about year before his father built a house and they all settled in.
The darkness according to the Biafran genius is useful in viewing the cancer cells.
For people who are used to having everything they want, it was a pretty difficult phase as they had to learn to live with other people and share things with them. The war indeed scarred many people and this till date, affected lots of them.
Achilefu however, did not let this stop him or mar his future. His father tried doing everything he can to push his family forward by making them learn some morals from the incidence. He made inscriptions on the wall of the new house and laid emphasis on a true life fact. You can lose your wealth but never lose a good name.This inscription changed Achilefu's life and molded him into the man he has become.
The young boy whose childhood memories are filled with disturbing scenes from the Biafra war and the loss of wealth has made a name for himself in the eradication of cancer all over the world.
And to think that such tremendous work came from a Biafran is truly amazing. Achilefu had his primary and secondary education in some local schools in Biafra.
However, he was lucky enough to have been one of the five students who won a French government scholarship and this made him attend a graduate school in France where he received a PhD in molecular and materials chemistry at the University of Nancy.
Achilefu made his family and Biafra proud with his activities outside the country. He got to St. Louis and became the first full-time staff member of the discovery research department at Mallinckrodt Medical Inc.
The Biafran genius was able to achieve what he has because of his educational background. This made him hold the belief that Biafran children can change the world if they have the opportunity to do so.
He stated that he had the opportunity to meet some smart Biafran children in the village school he attended during the war. These kids, according to him, never had the opportunity to move forward and change the world.
As a result of this, he has it in mind to create an institute that will help reach out to and train the smart kids in the low-resource areas of the world. To accomplish this, a certain number of children will be identifies yearly for comprehensive training and support through college.

While talking on the greatest breakthrough in the battle against cancer, the Biafran genius said "We are working in the dark, so that we can see the light…therefore, there is no darkeness unless you cannot see the light."
At the moment, he is the chief of Optical Radiology Laboratory and a professor of radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine. He has designed high tech goggles that will help surgeons see and identify cancer cells which are pretty difficult to see during surgery.
With the use of the invented goggles, the cancerous cells glow blue; this will help doctors ensure that there is no tumor cell left during and after the operation.
Due to this brilliant invention; Achilefu in January 2015 got the St.Louis award which is always doled out every year since 1932. The award is to recognize area residents whose hard-work and achievements has made positive impacts in the community.
The Biafran genius with his wife and children.
Achilefu who got married to his wife twenty-one years ago was also recognized for leading the team that developed the high-tech goggles that will help surgeons see cancer.The father of two is not stopping at this as he has the intention of inventing a light-based cancer therapy that can help in reaching tumors in deep tissue."I want to play a role in eradicating cancer or making it a manageable disease. Toward this goal, we have developed a new approach to kill cancer cells, independent of the cancer type.
"There is a method of killing cancer with light – photodynamic therapy. People use it to treat superficial cancers, such as skin cancer, because the cancer has to be reachable by light to activate a light-sensitive drug. Or you can use an endoscope to introduce light to activate and kill cancer cells inside the body.
"We've discovered a new approach of using existing radiopharmaceuticals to create a light source within the tumor cells. We have tested this concept with success in animal models of cancer and plan to move into human studies in future."
With this, it is justifiable for one to say there are so many talented Biafrans in diaspora. Note that Dr. Mustapha Abubakar was also recognized as one of the hundred people called Arewa legends for the role he has played in cancer research.
Abubakar continues in his search to find the treatment and cure for cancer.

China Floods African Markets With Poisonous Synthetic Rice
With the Federal Government's announcement of imminent famine next year coupled with Nigeria's craze for imported goods, experts have raised the alarm of possible flooding of the Nigerian market with harmful 'plastic rice."
Since 2011, the world was alerted to the industrial manufacture of rice by Chinese firms.
In a report by the Korean Times on the growing menace, the newspaper said; "China famous for having all, making all, has now been reported to have made rice out of plastic and has distributed it.
"The Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong in Hong Kong quoted Singapore media that "Fake rice made out of plastic is massively sold on the Chinese market."
"According to the report, some distributors are selling fake rice in Taiyuan, Shaanxi Province, and this rice is a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic.
"This 'plastic rice' is made by forming potatoes and sweet potatoes into rice-like shape, then adding industrial synthetic resins," said a food expert. "Since the rice is different from normal rice, it is hard like stone even when cooked.
Moreover, the synthetic resin in it is very harmful to the human body."
One Chinese restaurant association official warns that eating three bowls of 'plastic rice' is the same as eating one vinyl bag. He added that since the rice is very dangerous there would be strict investigation on the rice factory.
But Nigerians can determine if the rice they have is genuine or not by following any of the simple tests:

The water test
Pour a tablespoon of raw rice into a glass filled with cold water and mix vigorously. If the rice falls to the bottom of the glass, everything is fine, if on the contrary it floats on the surface, be vigilant, because it surely contains plastic!
The fire test
Using a lighter and a match, burn a handful of rice. If it catches fire and smells of burnt plastic, you know what to do! Do not eat it!
The mortar and pestle test
When molding a few grains of rice with a mortar and pestle, the powder should be quite white. For artificial rice, you will notice a yellow discoloration instead.
The mold test
If you want to be sure that you do not risk anything with your cooked rice, put a small amount into a tupperware and leave it in a warm place. In a few days, mold will have to appear, otherwise it is that your rice is artificial.
This is how to get it right: is the rice you buy natural or artificial? Show these diff tips to all your friends so they do not take the risk of eating plastic.

Alarm – Nigeria Gov't Floods Market With Deadly Dangote Rice
Alarm: Nigeria government in conjunction with Dangote floods Nigerian market with deadly GMO Dangote poisonous Rice
Alarm… Dangote and Nigerian government have flooded Nigerian market with GMO rice, please note: eating GMO rice is as worst as eating rice laced with rat poison popularly known as sniper in Nigeria, that is extremely dangerous to human body, GMO products are banned all over Europe due to its deadly effects. (Please SHARE this INFORMATION to create awareness and save lives).
THE DANGER OF DANGOTE GMO RICE.
The dangers of genetically modified food to the health and the environment surpasses the advantages.
Those that stand to gain are the multinational biotech companies controlling food supply around the world and they will eventually force the local farmers out of the market.
Some Genetically Modified products are modified using bacteria and viruses, thus there is fear that there could be an emergence of new diseases.
GMOs are said to increase the risk of certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, breast cancer and prostate cancer.
According to studies carried out by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) on GM foods, it showed organ damage, gastro intestinal and immune system disorders, including accelerated aging and infertility in lab animals.
Research has identified that toxins emanating from GMOs have been found in maternal and fetal blood. Other compounds are also found in genetically modified foods that trigger early puberty and infertility. The DNAs of GMO can be passed to humans that consume them.
Dependency on foreign companies that created and control GM foods and agricultural practices is another point of consideration by its introduction.
There is a possibility that introducing a gene into a plant may create a new allergen or cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
A proposal to incorporate a gene from Brazil nuts into soybeans was abandoned because of the fear of causing unexpected allergic reactions. Extensive testing of GM foods may be required to avoid the possibility of harm to consumers with food allergies.

A major disadvantage of this technology is the contamination of natural varieties due to the wind causing pollen drift. Farmers that utilize these products as well as agencies that would supposedly "regulate" them cannot guarantee natural varieties would not become contaminated.
There is also a growing concern that introducing foreign genes into food plants may have an unexpected and negative impact on human health.
NIGERIA BIAS NEWSPAPERS WILL NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS.
GOD BLESS BIAFRA AND RADIO BIAFRA.


I did something slightly mad today. I fed the Tiny One at 5.30am and decided not to go back to sleep, despite being head-achingly tired, but to lie in bed and read Nigella's Christmas.
Yes, the momentous occasion has arrived: Christmas menu planning and shopping list writing. It is all done! I have to tell you, I am absolutely knackered writing this at 9.30pm. But I am suffused with the bliss of a big tick off the 'to do' list, Christmas culinary indulgence of the reading kind, and the crazy kind of happiness I get from list making.
Other things have been completed too... a postman-style trip around the village popping cards in letterboxes (accompanied by yet another Little One strop - it is now not just daily, but multiplying through the day); a bag for the Little One; and a major, major sort-out of the house so that we start with a tidy and organised canvas before Jackson Pollock-ing it with Christmas debris.
Best thing of all... today is my husband's last day at work for a fortnight. Let the festivities begin!

Following a croquet course run by Enfield London Borough Council, those completing the course were offered the chance to form a club, and in 1991 Enfield Croquet Club was established in Bush Hill Park recreation ground, between Lincoln Road and Southbury Road, in the London Borough of Enfield.

At first only association croquet was played, but later in 2005 golf croquet was introduced.  The club currently has three full size lawns and its members compete in various inter-club association and golf croquet competitions around the south east of England.

The club is a full member of the Croquet Association, the national governing body for the sport.

What is the best salad with mussels? When it comes to such a dish, the best recipe is difficult to allocate. The thing is that the taste of these seafood can be combined with a variety of ingredients.
In view of the availability of this product, more and morepopular today is the salad of mussels. The best recipes, in our opinion, are described below. Of course, all tastes are different. And these recipes can be modified by adding new ingredients. From this, the dishes will be even more perfect.
Mussels are prepared very quickly, if we are talking aboutfresh product in shells. Only 15-20 minutes will be enough for them to open and well-protrusion. Moreover, do not forget that in salads you can use already pickled mussels, if you like their taste.
The remaining ingredients can be selected inaccording to their own preferences. Of course, meat or poultry should not be added to the salad. But in combination with other seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid), the mussel as an ingredient plays very well. You can also add a variety of fresh and baked vegetables - a dish that will not spoil, but, on the contrary, will highlight and emphasize the taste of seafood. Well, an important role is played by dressing or sauce for salad.
For this salad we need: ½ cup white wine, 8 chopped parsley sprigs, 2 large sliced tomatoes, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 24 washed mussels in the sink, 8 chopped cilantro sprigs, 150 grams of green beans, 1 pod of green chili peppers, also crushed.
1. Pour the wine into a large frying pan and put it on the fire. Bring the wine to a boil and add the mussels. Cover the lid. Cooking, shaking the frying pan, for 5 minutes, until the mussels open. We take out and dry them, leave a third of the liquid from the pan.
2. We remove the mussels from the shells and put them in a large glass bowl. Add parsley, coriander and tomato. Gently mix.
3. Within two minutes, prepare the asparagus beans in a saucepan with salted water until it softens a little. Drain the liquid, refresh it a little under cold water and add to the mussels.
4. For refueling we take wine, in which mussels were prepared, we add olive oil, chili and lemon juice there. Mix everything in a small bowl. Next, we put a salad for serving and at the end we water it with dressing.
This recipe for salad from mussels is the most delicious, when it is properly cooked. As we see, it contains many ingredients that must be pre-prepared.
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, sliced slices, ½ cup of white wine, 300 grams of small potatoes, cut into quarters, 56 grams of green peas (can be frozen, but pre-defrosted), 3 tablespoons of diced red onions, 2 large hard boiled eggs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh spring onions, ½ finely chopped bulbs, 4 sprigs of fresh thyme, 1.5 kilograms of peeled mussels in shells, ½ medium sized carrots, cut into a large cube, 4 pods paprika peppers (red pepper), 1 cup chopped tomato, 2 pickles, ½ cup garlic mayonnaise.
1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add chopped garlic and onions. Reduce the temperature and cook for 5 minutes. Add thyme, wine and mussels. Bring to a boil, cover and cover for 8-10 minutes. When the mussels open, they are ready. Filter and store the liquid.
2. We put the pan with cold water and potatoes on the fire. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes become soft. We merge the water and leave it for 3-4 minutes. We move into a large bowl. We add broth there and set aside.
3. In another bowl, add the ingredients - carrots, peas, peppers, onions, tomatoes, eggs and cucumbers. All of them must be cut into cubes. We add garlic mayonnaise. We clear the mussels from the shells and add them to the salad. Stir well.
4. When serving, lay out the potatoes on a plate, then put a salad on the top with a spoon. We adorn it with green onions.
It is also a pretty spicy and tasty salad with mussels. The recipe is quite simple, only a little time is needed.
It will require: ¾ cups of white dry wine, 1.3 kilograms of mussels in shells, 3 onions cut into small cubes, ½ cup fresh cilantro (part chopped, part left for decoration), 2 shallots diced, diced, 3 kinds of sweet pepper (yellow, red and green), cut in half and peeled, 20 grams of fresh ginger crushed, 6 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of wine vinegar for refueling.
1. Preheat the frying pan. Add wine and shallots. Passer, add mussels, cover with a lid and stew for 8 minutes, until the shells open. Strain the broth and leave to cool.
2. On a baking sheet over the parchment, spread the pepper up with a mantle and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the skin does not darken. We take the pepper and put it in a bag to cool it. Remove the cuticle and cut the pepper into cubes.
3. We clean mussels from shells, Mix with pepper, onions, ginger and cilantro. Add ¾ broth with mussels, as well as olive oil and wine vinegar. We serve salad, decorating with a sprig of fresh coriander.
It will be a fairly simple salad with mussels. The most delicious marinade for him, of course, is best done by yourself. But you can use ready-made mussels to speed up the cooking process.
Composition: 2 cups marinated mussels, 4 tomatoes, 1 medium sized green pepper, cut into small cubes, ½ cup finely chopped red onions, ½ cup chopped olives or olives, 2 tablespoons fresh small basil leaves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
It can be said that this salad with marinated mussels is the most delicious and lightest among all.
1. In a large bowl, mix mussels, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, olives and basil leaves.
2. In another vessel, mix olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Fill the salad and mix well.
3. We put in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the salad cool. This is optional. You can serve it just like that, but you can put it on small leaves of lettuce.
Mussels are a fairly specific seafood. Not everyone will be able to appreciate their taste. Some people prefer something less extravagant, like cancers.
Nevertheless, many argue that the salad withmussels - the most delicious! He will not leave anyone indifferent. After all, there are many ways to prepare mussels, and spices and spices add to them that special taste that makes us try this product again and again.
Most people who tried the above salads, were very pleased, because they mostly contain vegetables, ie all the ingredients are dietary. Midia is also a dietary seafood.

FOX 11 confronts real estate impostor accused of pocketing victim's security deposits
By Bill Melugin
BUENA PARK, Calif. (FOX 11) - FOX 11 is tracking down and confronting a real estate impostor accused of using fake documents and pocketing victim's security deposits, then disappearing, while pretending to be the assistant of a Los Angeles realtor.
The investigation began when FOX 11 was contacted by Art Avaness, a licensed realtor in Los Angeles.
"All week I've been getting phone calls from random people that they've seen my ad on Craigslist," Avaness said.
Avaness aid the ad was a fraudulent listing. It advertised a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home for rent in Buena Park. The ad instructed anyone interested to contact Avaness at a phone number that isn't his.
"I knew this was a fake," Aveness said.
Avaness told FOX 11 he began getting phone calls from angry victims who claimed the imposter took their security deposits and disappeared, including one call from a woman who was about to hand the imposter thousands of dollars in cash.
"She really wanted the property, and I had to tell her this is not me," Avaness said. "I'm the real Art Avaness, but I don't have a listing here!".
That woman was Christy Tuiotimarimer.
"I ended up hitting the scam jackpot," she said.
She planned to move into the house and had been shown the property twice by Vinender Kanda, aka "Vinny", who was claiming to be Avaness' assistant. Christy said Vinny already had her social security number after he had her fill out a fraudulent rental application with Avaness' name on it, andhe was pushing for her $5,700 deposit.
"He wanted it all in cash, but I know cashier's check is the way to go to have a paper trail, so right then and there it was a red flag," she said.
Once she spoke to the real Art Avaness, her fears were confirmed, "Vinny" wasn't working with Avaness at All.
Using Vinny's legal name, Vinender Kanda, FOX 11 obtained records showing his real estate license has been suspended since 2004.
Christy set up a meet at the house, under the guise of handing over the cash to Vinny.
Avaness called Buena Park police, and invited FOX 11 to come along.
When Vinny was confronted by Avaness and FOX 11, he pretended not to know anything, and drove away from the scene, leaving the key to the house with Christy, who never handed over the cash.
"Basically I was supposed to get the key, which I did, and move in today and sign the lease, but obviously he freaked out and left," Christy said.
"He's a textbook scam artist," Avaness said.
Avaness looked at the fake documents Vinny was allegedly using.
"It has my name on it, it has my broker license number on it, a completely different phone number though, that's not my phone number, and that's not my email either," he said.
And when Avaness called the number on the documents, a man picked up and identified himself as Art Avaness. He hung up after he was confronted.
Buena Park police eventually arrived on scene and took statements from Christy and Avaness.
The front door of the house was left wide open after Vinny handed over the key and took off.
When FOX 11 contacted the legitimate owners of the home, they said the house is vacant because it's in escrow to be sold, and it's been targeted by Craigslist scams before.
After seeing video of the confrontation, they said they have no idea who Vinny is, they don't know how he got a key to their house, and they feel violated.
As a result, they plan to pursue trespassing charges against him, and they've changed the locks.
When FOX 11 contacted the phone number on the fraudulent documents Vinny was using, a call and text were never returned.
Avaness said he now has to contact the California Department of Real estate to get his reputation cleared.
"We don't know how long this has been going on, that's the frustrating part," he said.
"It's horrible, like really?" Christy said. "You're gonna try to scam broke people like me, we work our butts off, it's bad, it's horrible."
Police told FOX 11 this incident falls into a grey area between a civil and criminal matter because Christy never handed over the cash, even though she was almost scammed.

ReTouched by ND Promises a Revolution in Body Contouring
The reality is that even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, there's always some fat that can't seem to go away. That tummy! Those love handles! But fret not. At an exciting launch on May 16th at ReTouched by ND on Petra Street, Woodbrook, the VelaShape III and UltraShape Power were unveiled. Guests—mainly women—were introduced to this breakthrough technology that reduces stubborn fat in problem areas for a more slender, sculpted figure in just weeks.
Syneron-Candela, creators of the VelaShape III and UltraShape Power, is a leading global non-surgical aesthetic device company with devices in use in 100 countries. These two systems can be used in conjunction with each other, or separately, based on the clients' needs. UltraShape Power is the first and only FDA-cleared non-surgical procedure for fat reduction. It uses pulsed, focused ultrasound to comfortably remove unwanted fat. This technology involves less time compared to other fat-reduction procedures that use heat or freeze fat; it's also virtually painless and leaves you free of visible side effects, with no downtime.
The VelaShape III is a powerful combination of infrared light and bi-polar radio frequency that is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite, resulting in smoother skin. Gradual results can be observed right away as the skin's surface becomes smoother and firmer. Over time there will be a reduction is the appearance of cellulite.
Speaking at the launch, ReTouched founder Dr. Naomi Dolly said, "A lot of my patients come in for consultations about their faces, but tend to forget that faces go with a body." Therefore, the clinic is equipped with machines that can address the entirety of the body. As she continued to share more about the treatments, she noted that "non-invasive body contouring works best with people who follow a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise, but still have those stubborn areas."
At the very stylish and interactive launch, the guests were given tours of the clinic and live demonstrations on how the two new technologies work, and were able to ask questions. In addition, they all received gift vouchers offering discounts on treatments on the new machines as well as gift packages. Ms Victoria Worship, territory representative of Syneron-Candela, stated that "Syneron-Candela has a very large and growing international presence, and are pleased to present the first combination treatment for fat reduction and loose skin in the southern Caribbean."

Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6841) announces that the Peru branch of Yokogawa América do Sul (a Yokogawa Electric Corporation subsidiary) has received a control system order from Técnicas de Desalinización de Aguas, S.A. (Tedagua)*1 for a water desalination plant and associated facilities that it is building for Servicio de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Lima S.A. (SEDAPAL) in the Santa Maria district of Lima, the capital of Peru.
With the Provisur seawater desalination project, Peru's first reverse osmosis*2 desalination plant is being constructed to supply 35,000 m3 of potable water per day to the 100,000 residents of the Santa Maria district. Water distribution and sewer pipelines (total length: 260 km), a sewage treatment plant (daily capacity: 15,500 m3 ), and an undersea pipeline (780 m) for the discharge of treated water are also being built. Part of the treated water will be used for watering plants in the local area. Expectations are high for this project because Lima and other coastal areas in Peru have a desert climate that gets very little rain throughout the year.
Yokogawa will deliver the CENTUMTM VP integrated production control system, STARDOMTM FCN-500 network-based control system, and other solutions for monitoring and controlling the project's desalination plant, sewage treatment plant, water distribution pipelines, sewer pipelines, and undersea pipeline. Both CENTUM VP and STARDOM FCN-500 are solutions in Yokogawa's OpreXTM Control and Safety System family. The Peru branch of Yokogawa América do Sul will have overall responsibility for executing the systems side of this project, including engineering and commissioning. Delivery is scheduled for April and the plant is to start operation in June 2019.
To "ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all" is one of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) for the year 2030 that were adopted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit. There are urgent needs around the world to achieve high availability for water supply and water treatment systems. Yokogawa will leverage its know-how and solid track record in executing water supply and water treatment projects in Japan and desalination projects outside Japan to provide solutions that will ensure a stable supply of water and protect the environment in South America and other regions.
