Study Shows Babies Naturally Distinguish Races and Easily Link Them to Languages
July 16, 2019 /18 Comments/in Featured Articles /by Guillaume Durocher
Little Timmy can already identify foreigners.
There is an interesting new study from the University of British Columbia on infant babies' ability to distinguish, and link, different races and languages. According to UBC (my emphasis):
Eleven-month-old infants can learn to associate the language they hear with ethnicity, recent research from the University of British Columbia suggests.
The study, conducted in Vancouver and published in April in Developmental Psychobiology, found that 11-month-old infants looked more at the faces of people of Asian descent versus those of Caucasian descent when hearing Cantonese versus English—but not when hearing Spanish. . . .
We wanted to determine whether the association between Cantonese language and Asian faces we observed was due to a specific pairing infants learn from their environment, or whether infants may just have a bias to pair together any unfamiliar language with any unfamiliar ethnicity. We conducted a second study where we played English-learning, Caucasian infants sentences of English and Spanish and showed them the same pictures of Caucasian and Asian faces. Here, we found that infants looked similarly to faces of both ethnicities with both languages. Taken together, this would suggest that infants are indeed picking up on specific language-ethnicity pairings, likely based upon those faces and languages they encounter. . . .
The link between speaker characteristics and language is something no one has to teach babies. They learn it all on their own.
One of the study's authors rightly remarks: "Babies are really discerning." She goes on to add the results "should comfort parents in letting them know that babies who grow up in a multicultural, multilingual society such as Vancouver learn about that diversity and use it to help—rather than hinder—their language acquisition."
Certainly, there is no doubt a diverse multilingual environment is good for children's language acquisition. However, I was more struck by another one of the study's possible implications: that human beings are hard-wired, virtually from birth, to distinguish between races (visible physical differences reflecting different genetic populations) and languages.
Now why would that be the case? I suggest that this is further evidence that race and language are central to the process of ethnic identity formation. As a child grows up, it learns to identify who is and who is not part of their in-group based partly, indeed, on upbringing and culture, but especially visible racial similarity and common language. That would explain why multiracial and multilingual societies virtually never consolidate as harmonious, unitary nations (witness Belgium, Canada, Brazil, Malaysia, Austria-Hungary . . .), as well as the psychological appeal of nationalism in modern times, that widespread drive since the nineteenth century to develop linguistically-homogeneous nation-states.
Partly, ethnic (and national) identity formation is determined by socialization. Obviously race and especially language play a huge role determining with whom people socialize or what media they consume. (With the printing press and modern telecommunications, we can say that a good deal of socialization is mediated, accounting for Benedict Anderson's emphasis on newspaper circulation in the emergence of national identity, without dismissing, as Marxists tend to, the deep-rooted psychological mechanisms and cultural/genetic differences underlying national identities.)
I have no doubt that culture or clannishness can further subdivide a particular racial-linguistic group into ethnic sub-groups. (Witness the divide between Serbs and Croats or the innumerable tribes and ethno-religious groups of the Middle East.) However, as a rule, a common ethno-national identity does not appear possible wherever there are differences of language or race—despite the patriotic sentiments coming out of strongly identified non-Whites such as Ilhan Omar.
An in-born drive to develop an ethnic identity – based one's own race (physical appearance) and language, contrasting with others – and preference for that ethnic group is obviously adaptive. People sharing one's race and language are, generally, far, far more likely to be closely related to us genetically than racial and linguistic others (especially in a tribal context, where each tribe would be likely to have its own accent or dialect). As human beings are born into the world, those endowed with such an instinct would naturally team up with people with similar appearance and language, and would naturally do better than the lonely souls lacking such an instinct. This would account for the universality of ethnocentrism among humans.
We can add this research to the long list of studies showing infants' acute sensitivity to racial and linguistic differences. The media is regularly seized by "racist baby" moral panics concerning babies' ability to distinguish between races and their well-documented preference for their own race (see Newsweek in 2009, Time in 2014, the New York Post in 2017).
TIME caption: It don't come easy: bonding across racial lines requires overcoming some very old genetic programming
Concerning language, one study showed that even newborns cry with their parents' accent, presumably learned while listening in the womb, showing an ability to not only identify but even mimic an accent. Other studies have found that infants prefer to look to look at speakers of their native language rather than speakers of foreign languages and that young children prefer to be friends with their own native accent over foreign-accented ones.
All this suggests that multilingual and multiracial societies cannot establish a common ethnic or deep national identity for their members. The "love hormone" oxytocin has been linked to feelings of solidarity, empathy, emotional bonding, and racial in-group preference. This suggests that our 'diverse' societies will be ones where infants never grow up with the strong feeling of belonging which a common ethnicity provides. These societies are loveless, emotionally dissatisfying, and alienating, but manage to get along mechanically through global capitalism and the welfare state's ability to guarantee most individuals with a comfortable consumerist lifestyle.

Pat Etheridge says:
It is a myth that toddlers and children are colorblind and do not see race, ethnicity, etc. They frequently have to be taught to regard "outsiders" as being fellow group members, despite the mythology introduced long before Rodgers and Hammerstein, that "children have to be carefully taught to hate." Such an assertion is pure baloney. In fact, it is my experience that children very naturally identify with their own racial, ethnic, religious, and linguistic group first, and can be quite brutal in dealing with individuals who do not belong to those groups.
Libtard fantasies aside…….
Robert Henderson says:
It would be astonishing if there was not a biological mechanism for those of the same race to show preference for those with same racial traits.
That racial type should be a requirement for inclusion within a "tribe" is unsurprising. All social animals have to have boundaries to know where the group begins and ends. This is because a social animal must operate within a hierarchy and a hierarchy can only exist where there are boundaries. No boundaries, no hierarchy, because no individual could ever know what the dominance/submission situation was within their species or at least within those members of the species with whom they interact.
Where does "must operate within a hierarchy" come from? First the observed facts: all social animals do produce hierarchies – although these vary considerably in form – and human beings always produce hierarchies, whether they are hunter-gatherers or people populating a great modern city.
Why do social animals always form hierarchies? For animals other than Man the answer is I think simple enough: only by forming hierarchies can social groups cohere. This is most probably because animals vary considerably in their physical and mental qualities. Observe any animal, even the simplest single cell organism, and differences between individuals within the species will become apparent. Some are more vigorous than others, some larger, some, more adventurous and so on. Individuals will also vary by age and, in sexually reproducing species, sex.
In a solitary animal the practical consequences of differences between individuals will be decided by direct competition, most commonly by the formation of territories and the attempted monopoly of mates and food within the territory, with the best endowed animals on average being more successful.
When an animal is social, differences in individual quality have to be resolved by something other than the methods used by solitary animals such as scent marking of territory boundaries and serious fighting because the animals have to live in close proximity. Competition for desirable goods still occurs, most notably competition for mates, but normally within behaviours which are not fatal to other members of the group or behaviours which are so disruptive as to threaten the survival of the group. The upshot of this social accommodation is the formation of different social niches into which individuals fit.
Group behaviour is a compromise between the immediate advantage of the individual and the diffuse advantages derived from group activity. The compromise is given structure by hierarchies, whether that be a fixed biological distinction by sex or caste (for example, social bees) or a transient one due to the age of an animal. Hierarchies are built on the differences between individuals and the more rigid the hierarchical structure the greater will be the selective pressures to produce individuals in the right proportions to fill the various social niches within the group.
@Robert Henderson
"It would be astonishing if there was not a biological mechanism for those of the same race to show preference for those with same racial traits. "
Why would that adaptation be necessary, given that living side by side of genetically different human groups is a very recent phenomenon?
The answer lies in Man's inbuilt tribal nature. The trait that drives hostility and conflict amongst tribes of hunter gatherers is the same trait which is found in advanced nations which go to war. It does not require racial difference per se to drive it but nonetheless humans are pretty consistent in
finding physical differences as a means of both isolating opponents and justifying the isolating.This is perfectly natural. Humans being the supreme social animal need like all other social animals to set limits to the group.
Degrees of empathy exist. depending on circumstance. The philosopher David Hume made the point that if we were in China and came across a Swede we would feel a good deal of empathy. if a Spaniard in the same situation less so. If we met either Swede or Spaniard in England we should have less empathy for either compared with what we felt for them in China.
None none of this is to suggest that brute physical difference cannot be a determiner of who is in the group. If we see some who looks in general terms like us, to be a member of the group, we are reassured. If we see someone of a different race we are cautious because we do not have an instinctive feeling that they are part of the group. Much is made by the politically correct of the number of mixed marriages, ie, marriages or partnerships between people of difference races. In fact the surprising thing is there is few of them and many of those which do exists arch marriages or partnerships between two people of mixed race.
In Freakonomics Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner cite a study made of a US dating site (the full story is on pp 80-84). The site is one of the largest in the US and the data examined covered 30,000 people equally divided between San Diego and Boston. Most were white but there was a substantial minority of non-white subjects.
The questionnaire the would-be daters had to fill in included a question choice on race as "same as mine" and "doesn't matter". The study compared the responses by white would-be daters (those from non-white were not analysed) to these questions with the race of the emails actually sent soliciting a date. The result in Levitt and Dubner's words was:
"Roughly half of the white women on the site and 80 percent of the white men declared that race didn't matter to them. But the response data tell a different story The white men who said that race didn't matter sent 90 percent of their e-mail queries to white women. The white women who said race didn't matter sent about 97 percent of their e-mail queries to white men.
"Is it possible that race really didn't matter for these white women and men and that they simply never happened to browse a non-white date that interested them?"
Or, more likely, did they say that race didn't matter because they wanted to come across especially to potential mates of their own race as open-minded?" In short, around 99% of all the women and 94% of all men in the sample were not willing to seek a date of a different race. How much stronger will be the tendency to refuse to breed with a mate of a different race?
Another way of testing the desire to remain racially separate is to look at social class and inter-racial breeding. The higher up the social scale a person is the less likely they are to have a partner of a different race – if you doubt this try to find examples of the rich and powerful who have a partner of a different race. Those who have the most choice overwhelmingly choose members of their own racial type, despite the fact that they have the protection of their wealth and position to shield their spouses and children from the effects of racial discrimination.
The experience of imperial Rome nicely demonstrates racial exclusiveness as a historical phenomenon. Despite the racially mixed population, all the evidence we have suggests that Romans of higher social status (the only Romans we have any substantial knowledge of as individuals) rarely took non-white mates (the same applies today: in white-majority countries the higher the status of whites, the less likely they are to have a non-white partner.) Even the Bible has the story of Moses choosing a black wife and meeting with resistance on the part of his people. (Numbers chapter 12)
If sexual desire will not commonly override the natural disinclination to remain racially separate nothing will.
The fact that humans have external racial differences which are sufficiently distinct to allow people throughout the world to broadly categorise an individual into categories such as white and black is in itself indicative of the innate human tendency to breed with those who are racially similar, even though for several thousands of years large human populations of different racial types have existed in close proximity. If human beings did not have an innate preference for those who racially resemble themselves, humanity would have bred itself into something approaching a uniform racial type, at least in those parts of the world which were not very isolated – different races have had regular and numerous contact with each other for at least three thousand years. The alternative explanation to an innate tendency is the truly fantastic one that Man everywhere spontaneously developed cultural barriers to breeding which had nothing to do with any innate tendency. If anything is a social construct it is not race but the liberal idea that Man is a single species.

I have managed to track down the Hume quote.It is right at the bottom of the quoted data which is necessary to see the contexct.
https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/h/hume/david/treatise-of-human-nature/B3.2.1.html
In general, it may be affirmed, that there is no such passion in human minds, as the love of mankind, merely as such, independent of personal qualities, of services, or of relation to ourself. It is true, there is no human, and indeed no sensible, creature, whose happiness or misery does not, in some measure, affect us when brought near to us, and represented in lively colours: But this proceeds merely from sympathy, and is no proof of such an universal affection to mankind, since this concern extends itself beyond our own species. An affection betwixt the sexes is a passion evidently implanted in human nature; and this passion not only appears in its peculiar symptoms, but also in inflaming every other principle of affection, and raising a stronger love from beauty, wit, kindness, than what would otherwise flow from them. Were there an universal love among all human creatures, it would appear after the same manner. Any degree of a good quality would cause a stronger affection than the same degree of a bad quality would cause hatred; contrary to what we find by experience. Men's tempers are different, and some have a propensity to the tender, and others to the rougher, affections: But in the main, we may affirm, that man in general, or human nature, is nothing but the object both of love and hatred, and requires some other cause, which by a double relation of impressions and ideas, may excite these passions. In vain would we endeavour to elude this hypothesis. There are no phenomena that point out any such kind affection to men, independent of their merit, and every other circumstance. We love company in general; but it is as we love any other amusement. An Englishman in Italy is a friend: A European in China; and perhaps a man would be beloved as such, were we to meet him in the moon. But this proceeds only from the relation to ourselves; which in these cases gathers force by being confined to a few persons.

Perfectly reasonable and natural. Unfortunately, in the Year of our Overlord 18, such assertions are clearly criminal, and should expect to be soon flushed down the memory hole. Have a nice day!

This post will not get me any "Brownie" points (slang for "Girl Scouts" in Canada) amongst the W.N.-ist crowd at TOO, but then what do I care about what people think, since I am almost totally alienated from society at large anyways.
Anyway, before my misogynated (Korean-German hybrid growing up in Canada) anchor-baby son was stolen from me by the consortium of Leftist Retards, Blasphemous Jews and mentally abused relatives at the age of 22 months…,
on the weekly, supervised, court restricted, time restricted and location prescribed visits, I managed to teach him to swim, dive and pull himself out of the deep end of the pool, speak and count in German, and was busy teaching him rudimentary mathematics.
But the one thing that was really quite fascinating for me was that at age 18 months, I could point to a pictures of simple things,like a horse, and ask him to say what this was using the German, Korean and English languages…, and he got it right time after time.
RoyAlbrecht says:
"…All this suggests that multilingual and multiracial societies cannot establish a common ethnic or deep national identity for their members."
Notwithstanding the convoluted circumstances entailing the occurrence of an inter-Racial child,
I believe that a lot of the alienation and rootlessness that people who live in societies described above,
both ethnically "pure" or "mixed",
can to a large extent overcome these handicapped feelings of having no belonging,
if in fact they are made cognizant of the maleficent jewish hand in the multiculti catastrophe.
There are many examples where shared feelings of solidarity can be achieved across Racial and ethno-nationalistic barriers by having common knowledge of the blasphemous Jew.
(I.e. Nation of Islam + White Nationalists + Hindu Nationalists, Reverend Manning and his Baptist Ministries…,
Islamic Republic of Iran + White Nationalists of all Euro Nations + Orthodox jews and even some Africans and East Asians = Holocaust Conference,
National Socialists: Japanese, Germans, Indians (Sub_continental variant), in short wherever they may exist…)
The common thread between all these otherwise divergent ethnicities is their common knowledge of the inner workings of the Race of [redacted] Jew.

" Other studies have found that infants prefer to look to look at speakers of their native language of speakers of foreign languages and young children prefer to be friends with native-accented speakers over foreign-accented ones."
Re-proof that please.
I know I personally sometimes shudder when interacting with a Pakistani or a shrouded Moslem, who speaks English more articulately than my own family members. If such invaders do it with a slight English accent (perhaps indicating the place where they learned our language), it sometimes makes the hair stand up on my neck. It is akin to an experience I had wherein a group of Asian students were carefully conducting an archaeological dig, all the while commenting on what the artifacts and the ruins revealed about the site's ancient Anglo inhabitants. It was that strange feeling you get when observing an adversary treading on one's future grave.
Well, the Left will never be able to eliminate distinction. So, what our North American/European leftists are trying to do is to convince people that it is a sin to notice racial distinction and then speak about it. Like the gender crap they're trying to pull.
My experience with leftists personally however is that they are full of shit when it comes to doing what they otherwise prescribe. For example, with few exceptions, the Aryan leftist females I've encountered have all been attracted to and attached to Aryan men. Not only have these females noticed distinction quite clearly but they would often enthusiastically laud the Aryan racial features (sandy hair, bluish eyes, etc) of their beloved men.

Sex and reproduction of the future generation is the ultimate test of race and everybody knows it. It's why everyone is either hush hush about it, or openly promoting miscegenation, as the Jews attempt to do, encouraging the black male/white female pairing, which in reality is one of the least likely to occur naturally.
All theories and philosophizing aside, if you produce babies of race, you are of race, and if you don't produce babies of race, you are not of race. Simple as that, no further complication needed.
Which means if you either remain childless or produce mixed race babies, you are not of race. You might belong to a race by birth, sure, but you are not "of race" in the sense of continuing your race.
Karlfried says:
"Which means if you either remain childless or produce mixed race babies, you are not of race."
My comment: This sentence is true, but in rare occasions there are additional things to think about.
After the Second World War, millions of young German men were dead and therefore millions of young German women could never find a partner for life and familiy. They very often lived in the families of their relatives as an "aunt". And/or they worked in order to rebuild Germany (Wiederaufbau). These women were looked at in love and compassion by the other Germans. And they did do their share, in as much as it was possible for them, to preserve the German folk.
For you Americans that is a side-note to history, for us Germans it is part of our identity and collective memory. The fate of our ancestors gives as inner strength do do the necessary fights of today in order to preserve our German folks, the European folks, the European-descended folks, and the white race.
Melissa Bishop says:
It would be interesting to study babies that were adopted as newborns by other races. Test them before the age of self recognition (the mirror test). Would they show preference for the adoptive race or is it genetic?

The club wrote:
"AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Brahim Abdelkader Díaz from Real Madrid CF on a temporary basis for two years. The contract ties the football player to the Rossoneri Club until 30 June 2023. Brahim, after scoring 7 goals in 39 appearances with AC Milan last season, will continue to be a Rossoneri player, wearing the number 10 jersey".
The Rossoneri and the Los Blancos have agreed on a €3M two-year loan. Milan will have a €22M option to buy in 2023, while the Galacticos €27M buy-back clause in the contract.
The diminutive playmaker who scored 7 goals and created 4 assists in 39 appearances in 20/21, returned to the fashion city on Saturday to put pen-to-paper and complete his medicals. The Italian giants have been trying to sign him permanently since the end of the previous campaign and have finally gotten their man.
Diaz expressed his excitement on the return to a reporter at the airport: "I am super happy to be here, let's go Milan!", he said. The 21-year-old will be the first Spanish player to wear the No 10 number, which was previously worn by Calhanoglu, in the history of Milan.
Milani has been one of the most active clubs in this transfer window having secured top professionals like Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea, Mike Maignan from Lille, and Sandro Tonali from Brescia.

Semester one marks are complete and are currently available online on both Parent Connect and Student Connect. In addition to marks being available online, students will also be given a printed progress report in class this week.
As for your recently completed final exam playing assessments - results have been posted by Student ID outside the orchestra room (no names or instruments). Your overall score is available, as are your marks in each individual section of the exam. Use the information to help make you a better player!
Here's another reminder to register for your Honor Orchestra audition. Auditions must be requested by January 30th, and the audition request form is available here. Last year was a record year for Mira Mesa High School in regards to honor orchestra participation (acceptances), and I for one would love to see us represented by even more individuals this year.
One of the things that we strive to provide is access to the best instructors and opportunities possible. Our Concert and Symphony Orchestra musicians have the opportunity to work alongside the best string players and educators in San Diego. Only your support makes this possible.
With that in mind, bass players should certainly use the resources compiled by Mr. Herman in preparation for their honor auditions (and, generally as they work to improve). Current postings on Mr. Herman's website include fingered scales, excerpts, and packets for both Concert and Symphony Orchestra bassists.
In fact, Mr. Herman even scouted out a good reference video for all students who plan on auditioning!
All Week - Study hard... Prepare well for your final exams, as I will be checking ALL of your grades!
Wednesday, 1.23 - Pit Orchestra Rehearsal from 1:00 - 3:00; Mr. Mulvaney recruiting event at Wangenheim MS.
Friday, 1.25 - String Quartet Performance at Quartet Nouveau's Performance Lab. The concert is at 7:30, and will take place at the Hammond Ashley Violin Shop here in Mira Mesa. Admission is free, and Alice, Gennia, Laura, and Henry would love you to attend (I'll be there). I've provided a map below for directions. In addition, Mr. Mulvaney will be off campus Friday afternoon attending a recruitment event at CPMA Middle School.
NOTE: The String Quartet performance is being sponsored by the ladies of Quartet Nouveau, three of whom coach at Mira Mesa on a weekly basis. In addition, our viola coach, Ms. Terbetski, has been volunteering her time above and beyond after school each week to assist our students in their preparation.

Lucia Anna Maria (Lucie) Vuylsteke (Delfshaven, 12 maart 1903 – Rotterdam, 16 juli 1987) was een Nederlands politica, van oorsprong apotheker. Ze zat namens de KVP in de gemeenteraad van Rotterdam (1949-1962) en in de Eerste Kamer (1963-1969).

Biografie

Jeugd en opleiding
Vuylsteke werd geboren in een van oorsprong Vlaams geslacht. Haar grootvader (aan vaderskant) ging wonen in Delfshaven (dan nog een zelfstandige stad) en werd daar actief als apotheekhoudende arts. Haar vader J.A.M. Vuylsteke werd vervolgens ook apotheker. Hij huwde met Cornelia Dolk.

Op twaalfjarige leeftijd ging Vuylsteke het gymnasium volgen bij het katholieke pensionaat Jerusalem te Venray. Daarna studeerde ze in Amsterdam farmacie.

In 1929 slaagde ze voor het doctoraalexamen. Vuylsteke neemt dan in Rotterdam de leiding over de apotheek over van haar acht jaar eerder overleden vader. Kort daarna raakt ze ook betrokken bij de St. Brigitta Vereniging, die als doelstelling had om 'arme zieken van den Roomsch-Katholieken godsdienst' te ondersteunen. Ze was tevens actief bij de Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Pharmacie en het bestuur van de Katholieke Vrouwenbond.

Politiek
Vuylsteke werd in 1949 namens de KVP lid van de gemeenteraad van Rotterdam. Hier was ze onder meer actief in de Commissie Kunstzaken en kwam ze op voor het herstel van Delfshaven.

In 1963 kiest Groep III (Noord-Holland en Friesland) haar tot Eerste Kamerlid, in welke hoedanigheid ze woordvoerder is over volksgezondheid. Ze sprak in de vergadering van 1963 haar eerste redevoering uit, tijdens de behandeling van het wetsontwerp Regelen met betrekking tot de handel in antibiotica, hormoonpreparaten, thyreostatica en chemotherapeutica, bestemd of mede bestemd voor aanwending bij dieren. In 1967 is ze van oktober tot december plaatsvervangend voorzitter commissie van rapporteurs voor Volksgezondheid, en daarna plaatsvervangend voorzitter vaste commissie voor Volksgezondheid tot haar einde als Kamerlid in 1969.

Waardering

In 1972 werd aan Vuylsteke de Rotterdam Promotie Prijs 1971 toegekend, omdat de organisatie (Club 25) haar beschouwde 'als een van de belangrijkste voorvechters voor de restauratie van Delfshaven'. Met deze prijs als aanleiding werd besloten voor haar een plaquette te plaatsen in het gerestaureerde, voormalige raadhuis van Delfshaven. Wethouder Henk Jettinghoff van Stadsontwikkeling onthulde deze plaquette.

Twee jaar later wordt ze benoemd tot officier in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau.

Sinds oktober 1993 is in de Rotterdamse wijk Prinsenland de Lucie Vuylstekeweg naar haar vernoemd.

Siddhant Mishra, 4th year, KIIT Law School, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The office has 10 staff members and 3 supporting staff.
I got my internship fixed by sending my resume at ([email protected]) however you one may go through the internship policy that is given on the website.
To make you chances better apply at least a month before on the given ID.
I interned for the period of 28 days.
Office timings are from 10 am to 7 pm. Interns are usually asked to leave by 6 pm.
Well, on the first day I was made to sit in the conference room in the basement and given a form to fill, a worksheet which you should fill every day and write the work you did for the day.
HR briefs you about the working of the office. Soon after I was made to meet the partner and the associate I was assigned to.
Neeraj Associates Law Firm is located in Gomti Nagar, Vishal Khand-II which is a prime location in Lucknow.
Office is attached with the resident of the Managing Partner (Adv. Neeraj Kumar), providing 1st floor and the basement floor, where all the interns were given a separate cubical.
First day there is general introduction with Mr. Rishi Saxena and the fellow interns.
He will be checking your resume and may tell you any errors if found and then he would be allotting you work as per your interest.
Interns are supposed to give there photographs for court passes and application form.
Carry your own laptops and mark your attendance!
Internship at Neeraj Associates made me seriously think about my career in litigation, I was required to assist Adv. Neeraj Kumar and was scared but Mr Neeraj is a very humble and soft spoken gentleman carrying lots of knowledge.
Main tasks included reading and analyzing files, court visits, some other administrative job. There was a lot of learning there.
Main work given to the interns is research work (finding case laws mostly), drafting rejoinders along with clerical work like making indices and marking page numbers.
If you want you can get a lot of work. It depends on how much work you can do and are willing to do. You cannot be seen sitting idle.
He used to teach me and other interns like a professor at times! He used to tell me how to go through cases and device a solution.
In a way the whole internship tasks were quite good.
The work environment is pretty good.
Everyone minds their own business and there ain't anytime for anyone to have a chit-chat with interns (Don't worry they will not be bullying you).
P.S – Interns office is equipped with 3 cameras and half of the time we use to doubt that it really works or not!
Neeraj Sir's personal interaction at every alternate days with interns was too good, he will be literally clearing your doubts on C.R.P.C and C.P.C and which is quite useful.
Besides that location of the firm is quite good, you get to visit many city malls, food joints, city marine drive and other places to roam around.
Weather! It was too humid and too hot make a proper arrangement if you live far by.
I was neither in Law nor in Love till I interned over here!
But now I'm in Law!!
All Law Students, especially from Lucknow should surely enjoy this workplace once.
It's a good internship experience.


Family law specialists Woolley & Co, solicitors has further cemented its place as a leading UK family law firm with recognition for thirteen of its lawyers in the newly published Legal 500 directory.
The Legal 500 is the leading independent guide for the legal profession and Woolley & Co is listed as a Leading Firm for Family Law in five areas of the country: East Anglia, East Midlands, South East, Wales and the West Midlands.
Twelve of its lawyers are listed as Recommended Lawyers for Family Law whilst Kathryn McTaggart in Wales is singled out at a Leading Individual.
"The Legal 500 process involves researchers interviewing clients and fellow professionals, so it is pleasing to have our lawyers recognised in this way," said managing partner Andrew Woolley.
In the West Midlands, where Woolley & Co has its head office, researchers note the firms' 'strong reputation' and 'notable strengths in advising on divorces involving British expatriates, annulments and implacable hostility'. Richard England is singled out for his 'brilliant business mind' and Warwick-based Alison Ratchford is noted as having carved a niche for herself in advising British expats experiencing relationship breakdown.
All four Woolley & Co lawyers based in East Anglia are singled out for praise. Karen Agnew-Griffith in Thetford is described as 'down-to-earth, no-nonsense and doesn't suffer fools' and praised for being 'totally in my corner… and kept me informed every step of the way'. Abby Smith is seen as 'knowledgeable and approachable' and 'completely understands and sympathises with difficult and very challenging situations'. Fellow St Neots lawyer Tamara Glanvill is a respected advocate in high-value cases and Nick Wiseman in Great Yarmouth is noted for his many years of experience across complex financial and pension cases as well as disputes around children.
Across the East Midlands 'standout lawyer' Michelle Brammer and Andrew Robotham in Derby and Kate Butler in Northampton are all recommended.
Cardiff based, Kathryn McTaggart is recognised for her ability to give 'excellent advice on financial cases and complex children cases' and praised for her 'pragmatic advice', taking a 'no-nonsense approach' whilst also being 'very empathetic and understanding of her clients'.

Wells-based solicitor Judith Buckland comes highly recommended. Luci Larkin in Barnet is also 'very conciliatory and approachable' and is 'clearly an experienced family lawyer'.
Legal 500 is published annually and Woolley & Co has been listed for four consecutive years as a Leading Firm.
The full details are available on the Legal 500 website.


I know there are many options to get and display data in MII. For the configuration data and master data, seems there is no applet for editting these data. Could you please give me some guideline to handle this kind of requirement? Should I use db to store these data or xml file? On the web UI seems HTML control is the only option.
The adminstration and system configuration is all accessible through jsp editor web pages from the Menu.jsp, what exactly do you mean by 'configuration data and master data'?
in our projects we used a couple of ways to achieve data change. Here are some examples.
You define some input fields on your webpage. The user can click a button which calls a JS function that reads out the field values and calls a MII applet, transfering the values as parameters e.g. to a Xacute query or a command applet.
Display data in a MII grid. The user can select a row (or cell). You can then use a MII event (e.g. SelectionEvent) and call a JS function which gets the selected value. You may then use a popup window which displays the row data in text fields which may be edited by the user. After editing, the data can be stored by calling a Xacute like mentioned above.


We're excited to introduce Replay 360, a streamlined app for combining media clips into engaging training videos.

Playpower: Bringing 8-Bit Learning to the World
Presented by Zen Albatross
Tiny bagels and pots of hot coffee wait patiently on a fold-out table in a a small classroom on the southeast end of New York University campus. It's an early Saturday morning in late June and most of NYU's students are on Summer break. But for the group of artists, programmers, hackers and musicians about to gather around that breakfast table, the most important class of the year is about to begin.
Using a couple of open-source tools, a bit of programming know-how and a fair helping of imagination, the participants of this 2-day workshop are about to do something wonderful – They're going to lay the foundations for their own 8-bit NES games, and become the next generation of retro game designers.
With breakfast and beverages depleted, the group makes their way into a technology lab down the hall. They're walking into a computer science course, but not the kind that any university would normally offer. The instructor steps forward and passes around a knock-off NES console clone from China, the same kind that you usually see on display in mall kiosks and dollar stores. There's something special about this one though – It costs only $10, and is distributed as a learning computer to low-income families in developing countries around the world. There's only one problem: It needs software.
Harnessing the 8-Bit Power
Since 2009, the Playpower organization has been developing their unique learning games platform to benefit children in developing nations. There's no big budget or R&D department because everything has already been laid bare by the original Nintendo Entertainment System. There's no manufacturing costs either – These 8-bit 'Famiclone' systems are already being mass-produced by dozens of Chinese manufacturers. What the project does need, however, is volunteers, and that's exactly where the workshop's 20 or so talented participants come in.
After a brief introduction, instructor Don Miller, who is known for performing live visuals with the NES under the alias NO CARRIER shows volunteers the basics of working within the system's graphical limitations. Miller has been tinkering with 8-bit hardware for years, creating several pieces of open-source software that have made ROM-hacking and homebrew on the NES more accessible than ever before. But even with this extra software muscle, making graphics on the NES remains a somewhat intimidating task that requires an intimate understanding of how the system processes and displays images.
Some of the workshop's attendees were familiar with the NES and had an idea of what to expect. Others weren't versed in 8-bit aesthetics at all and were more or less starting from scratch. But when it came time to get their hands dirty, all of the volunteers seemed to find designing sprites with a palette that only holds up to 3 colors to be not just challenging, but exciting. Miller went through the basics of how the NES stores sprites, colors and backgrounds by having everyone open a small repository of ROMs inside YY-CHR and GalleryNES, software that reveals and makes editable the content of a game's graphical data. Soon enough, everyone was modifying the sprite data inside Bomberman and Super Mario Bros, the first step towards creating visuals for the next generation of 8-bit games.
Making a Global Impact
Of course, it's important to remember the higher purpose these games will serve, and Playpower co-founder Derek Lomas is on hand to provide some background information. The Powerpoint slides show living conditions of children in impoverished areas of India, a region where Playpower has been especially active. Derelict buildings and dirty hovels house youngsters born into lower-class working families. Lomas stresses that when it comes to creating learning software for these children, quality and context are extremely important; factors that are usually not represented at all in the low-quality shovelware titles that are typically bundled with many of the aforementioned low-cost gaming systems.
During their previous workshops, Playpower had already gotten started on some of its own learning titles that are culturally appropriate, effective and fun. One of the prototypes demonstrated was an 8-bit typing game similar to the Dreamcast cult hit, Typing of the Dead, featuring Hanuman, a popular figure from Hindu mythology. Another was a top-down 'Sim'-style game aimed at teaching methods of preventing the spread of malaria. Playpower volunteers have already traveled to Brazil and India to not only spread these and other learning games, but to confirm that they're actually effective through on-site field testing.
Digging Into 8-Bit Music, Graphics, & Code
By the end of the workshop's first day, the volunteers are divided into small teams and already pitching game ideas to the rest of the group. They decide which project they'd like to work on and with that, everyone retires for the evening, goals firmly in mind for the workshop's second half.
The second day kicks off on the lower level NYU's Tisch Hall and everyone — including the instructors — seems to be running a bit behind schedule this time. Nevertheless, the breakfast ritual proceeds at an unrushed pace, with some new faces gathering around the table full of bagels, spreads and hot beverages. Namely, Joey Mariano, aka Animal Style, a Philadelphia-based chiptune musician with an extensive portfolio of musical hardware hacks, and NYU's own Jeremiah "Nullsleep" Johnson, an original member of New York chiptune artist collective 8bitpeoples whose 10 years of lo-fi musical exploits have taken him to Europe, Japan and everywhere in between. It was safe to assume that today the participants would be getting a crash course in chip music.
The chiptune elites begin a tag team demonstration of Famitracker, the software composer that writes in Nintendo Sound Format (NSF) for eventual playback on an actual Nintendo console. Being a 'tracker' program, much like the ones developed for early home computer systems like the Commodore 64, Famitracker's method of composition is more akin to programming code than placing notes on a staff. Fortunately, in a classroom room filled with programmers, the learning curve isn't as steep as it would normally be, and a few are able to whip together some short, whimsical tunes.
Don Miller takes the podium again to demonstrate what is probably the most intimidating facet of 8-bit game-making: Programming the game itself. This means getting down and dirty with the NES's assembly language, a notoriously fickle programming architecture. But Don kept it simple, identifying the code responsible for sprite animation cycles and explaining how to program the color palette data by changing hexidecimal markup and compiling the changes back into the ROM. There was a lot more to it, but for an introductory workshop, it was just enough to keep everyone interested and eager to experiment on their own.
With just a few hours to go, the room splits back into groups and springs into action with the goal of creating as many assets as possible for their game ideas from the day before. They would also write documents so that they or other Playpower volunteers could continue developing their ideas.
Progress Made At NYU Sessions
Given the time constraints, there were some impressive results by day's end. One group made advancements to the Sim-style Malaria prevention game mentioned earlier by giving the player control over a character on the screen to avoid confusion. Another wrote a detailed design document for a game where you program the actions of a robot to complete puzzles, sort of like an 8-bit version of Carnage Heart for the PS1. And one group even managed to put their assets into a functioning prototype – a mathematics game starring a number-munching shark.
So what does this all mean for retro gaming enthusiasts? If I were to speak prophetically, I'd say that the continued success of workshops like this one signals the beginnings of an 8-bit game design rennaissance. Playpower isn't just working to benefit an important humanitarian cause – they're re-invigorating our interest in the craft of retro games, putting the right tools into the hands of those with creativity and a passion for classic gaming. In other words, if you're all about neo-8bit games like Sivak's Battle Kid, there's a good chance that, very soon, you'll not only be playing more things like it – you'll be making them too.

Wow! Great Article Zen. This is something going on in the retro-gaming world that I knew nothing about before today.
Your writeup is informative and exciting; however, there is an "elephant in the room". We all played educational games when we were young, and I can say without hyperbole that the vast majority were so boring no child could enjoy them (with the notable exception of Oregon Trail). How is this new generation of programmers addressing the age-old problem of making a video game that's educational AND fun?
Still, great article. I'd like to hear more on this topic in future posts.
racketboy says:
I had some good games growing up — Carmen Sandiego, Math Blasters, etc, so I think it can vary. On the plus, side you have some experienced games wroking on this project and decades of gaming progres to learn from. So lots of potential if you ask me…
Hatta says:
That's pretty awesome. Besides 'edutainment', 8-bit platforms are one of the greatest ways to learn about computing. It's a shame that the greatest 8-bit gaming platform really has no facility for BASIC. It's really pretty hard to get into programming the NES. Getting these kids a C64 clone, instead of a famiclone would make the computing side of things so much more accessible.
Derek Lomas says:
Hatta, you'd be happy to know that every keyboard famiclone comes with built in BASIC programming.
Check it out! We need BASIC game designers, too.
Lord_Santa says:
did someone say BASIC programming?
GIMME!!!
I'll have to see if this orders to Europe
would be very, very interesting to start programming for this one
however, does one need to buy carts on the side?
anyways, great, great article
truly pleases me to see that not only is 8-bit still on the move, but it's actually doing good stuff for less fortunate
oh great, so the prices of retro computers will now go up. thanks to them all wanting c64s in India!
mitch, these are all newly-manufactured machines. If anything, more demand would just lower the prices while keeping the prices of your retro machines down.
kevinski says:
This is a really cool idea. It's things like this that make me especially proud to be a gamer.
I wrote on this myself earlier today, and it was a pleasure to read your opinion on it racketboy.

Evald Schorm – Kazdy den odvahu AKA Courage for Every Day (1964)
June 2, 2019	1961-1970, Arthouse, Czech Republic, Drama, Evald Schorm Leave a comment 1,354 Views
"Everyday Courage" or "Courage for Every Day" is a beautifully made fllm of great poetic restraint about a young man living in Prague before the collapse of communism. It is best described as belonging to the school of realism which marked the Czech films of the sixties, and its director, Evald Schorm, was noted for his refusal to compromise the subject matter or style of his films with the regime which controlled the film studios. An admirer of the films of the British director Lindsay Anderson, "Everyday Courage" has similarities with"This Sporting Life", its hero striving to escape the repressive forces of a society against which he rebels, but which ultimately demoralizes him and undermines his personal relationships. The winner of the International Film Festival in 1965 it has been notably neglected, and was one of the most moving and lyrical films to emerge from the Czech school. Read More »
Evald Schorm – Návrat ztraceného syna AKA The Return of the Prodigal Son (1967)
May 26, 2019	1961-1970, Arthouse, Czech Republic, Drama, Evald Schorm Leave a comment 2,032 Views
Though he was very much a member of the community of filmmakers who graduated from FAMU and went on to shake things up during the sixties, Evald Schorm also stood apart from the rest. Like his fellow directors, he was using the medium to get at the absurdity of life in Communist Czechoslovakia, but Schorm was dedicated to a more direct, realistic type of filmmaking than his friends Věra Chytilová, Jan Němec, and Jiří Menzel, who readily turned to whimsy, fantasy, and comedy. Referred to as both the philosopher and the conscience of the New Wave, Schorm, whose relatively sober style has been called documentary-like (his focus at FAMU was nonfiction filmmaking) and received comparisons to that of Antonioni, explored themes of morality and the malaise of the socialist middle class (such income-based social strata did exist in Czechoslovakia), and preferred psychological portraiture.

Vera Chytilová, Jaromil Jires, Jiri Menzel, Jan Nemec & Evald Schorm – Perlicky na dne aka Pearls Of The Deep (1966)
May 25, 2019	1961-1970, Arthouse, Czech Republic, Evald Schorm, Jan Nemec, Jaromil Jires, Jirí Menzel, Short Film, Vera Chytilová Leave a comment 2,368 Views
One of the defining works of the Czech New Wave was the portmanteau film Pearls from the Deep (Perlicky na dne, 1965). Not only did it bring five key directors of the Wave (Chytilova, Jires, Menzel, Nemec and Schorm) together in one film, making it the Wave's official "coming out" as a group, but it tied them to a writer, Bohumil Hrabal, whose ability to capture the rhythms and refrains of everyday spoken Czech was highly influential on the Wave's direction Read More »
Evald Schorm – Pet holek na krku AKA Saddled with Five Girls (1967)
November 3, 2013	1961-1970, Arthouse, Czech Republic, Drama, Evald Schorm Leave a comment 1,273 Views
From History of Narrative Film by David A. Cook (p712):
"Schorm's third film of contemporary social criticism, Saddled with Five Girls, forms a kind of trilogy with Everyday Courage and The Return of the Prodigal Son. Less pessimistic than his earlier work, Saddled with Five Girls is a film of youthful love and alienation which juxtaposes its narrative with scenes from Weber's Die Freischütz.
From 50 Major Filmmakers edited by Peter Cowie (p231):
"Five Girls to Cope With, in 1967, set out to explore that critical age of adolescence when a person's character is formed for good or evil. Schorm examined a girl's problems of being giving too much. She tries to buy the goodwill of her less fortunate friends; her intentions are pure, but in the difficulty of communicating she learns envy and deceit, and must decide if she will submit to double dealing or steel her life against self-deception and mediocrity. In addition to the relationship between the girl and her friends, Schorm introduces a teenage romance and the broader relationship between the girl's parents – neatly tied together with segments of Weber's opera, Die Freischütz. He reveals himself as a skilled psychological director with a wide range of knowledge about people. Read More »

It's a busy summer Thursday afternoon at the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium on Cape Cod. The co-proprietor, Gemma Doyle, receives a phone call from a timid voice inquiring about a possible book signing but Gemma is fully booked for the summer. Until she hears who the author is- Renalta Van Markoff, author of a controversial, and wildly popular pastiche featuring Holmes and Mrs. Hudson. Gemma and her co-owner, Jayne Wilson immediately shift into high gear to accommodate her; no small matter as Renalta wants to appear on Saturday, just two days away. The flamboyant Renalta comes accompanied by an entourage; her mousy and timid assistant, her publisher, a publicist, an assortment of rabid fans and at least one enemy. Excitement is high, at least until Renalta collapses dead on the signing table. Gemma's customer, Donald Morris, a dedicated and somewhat stuffy Sherlockian is the prime suspect. Donald had attacked her verbally in the Q and A session, accusing her of defiling Sherlock's sacred memory. Gemma doesn't think Donald murdered Renalta, but who did? It's up to Gemma and Jayne to find out, using Gemma's incredible powers of observation.
As a former bookseller and Sherlock fan, I really enjoyed the Body on Baker Street. Most of the authors I met at book appearances were gracious and down-to-earth people who were pleased to meet the fans and made no unreasonable demands. Then there were the one or two who were nearly as demanding as Renalta. The fans sometimes, too, could be a little odd. I'm looking forward to the next in the series and I highly recommend it for cozy fans.
Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for an advance digital copy. The opinions are my own.


LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2019 / The founders of InventureX are pleased to announce that Kevin Harrington has joined their team. Through his new role as a partner at InventureX, Kevin Harrington will help entrepreneurs take their ideas to the next level with crowdfunding and beyond.
To learn more about how to launch a product or service idea through the help of InventureX, as well as what helps the company to stand apart from the competition, please visit https://inventurex.com/launch/.
As a company spokesperson noted, Harrington recognizes that the problems many entrepreneurs, inventors, and startups with great ideas have is twofold: they need early traction, and to prove their concept in the market before their idea becomes validated.
In his new role as a partner at InventureX, Harrington and team will work closely with clients to take their businesses to the next level post-crowdfunding.
Harrington, who is an original "shark" on the hit TV show Shark Tank, is also the creator of the infomercial, and pioneer of the As Seen on TV brand. All of this experience has helped Harrington see first-hand what entrepreneurs need to succeed, as well as how sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo can help them achieve their goals.
His legendary work behind-the-scenes of business ventures has produced well over $5 billion in global sales, the launch of more than 500 products, and the making of dozens of millionaires, the spokesperson said.
"Crowdfunding campaigns provide exactly what's needed, including funds, to entrepreneurs, inventors, and startups at the right time," the spokesperson noted, adding that Harrington has pushed past all the questions and excuses to repeatedly turn new products and ideas into million dollar businesses.
"Some even put their dreams on hold or miss the chance all together because they do not have the necessary funds to be successful," Harrington said, adding that this is why he has decided to partner with InventureX – to help entrepreneurs to get the funding that they need to be successful.
InventureX is the number one rated crowdfund marketing agency for both entrepreneurs and inventors. Learn more about InventureX and schedule a call to discuss a project at https://inventurex.com/launch/.


A monograph would be needed to convey all the subtleties of Stanley's use of words like joy, love, intimacy, peace, happy, auspicious, perfection or special meanings when in up-in-heaven or metaphysical mode.
Briefly, joy, happy, peace and auspicious are linked to the extent that they reflect the sense of exultation which stimulated and accompanied Stanley's moments of greatest artistic creativity. They invariably postulated a mysterious isolation from the pressures of everyday existence and usually implied a sense of mental assurance, as when hand-holding in childhood or feeling a bird-in-the-nest security. Their effect could transform him into a walking altar of praise.
The source of such exultations, the concomitant of Stanley's happiness, has been described by philosophers from the time of Democritus, half a millennium before the coming of Christianity, who saw it as mankind's 'ethical goal' (a condition he derived from the 'soul's freedom from disturbance'), to the biblical concept of the 'peace which passeth all understanding', to the exhortations of modern psychology. Just as a plant can be said to be in a state of 'happiness' when its growing conditions permit it to find its true natural identity by achieving its maximum perfection, so in Stanley's more metaphysical interpretation, we as humans enjoy happiness when we achieve a perfection of our own, and so enter our true or universal (spiritual?) identity.
Phrases in The Lovers in which Stanley describes the painting as restoring for him items such as the teapot and the cabbage-leaves should not be taken to mean that he necessarily wished to see them in their pristine form. In fact he was already 'seeing' them in their original form in his mind's eye because they were memories of times or events in which he recalled them having been used. By restore, it is more likely that Stanley means he was giving them back their original nature and function, for he had an Emersonian conviction that everything reached its most perfect form when functioning to its truest purpose. His entire art, observed and visionary, was largely dedicated to registering things, persons or events in the most perfect form his contemplation - a function of love - could devise. In effect he was resurrecting them into the perfection they would have had in the symbolism of the Garden of Eden. Thus for Stanley each successful painting recreated through love its subject as a perfection set in a location (often recalled from his early Cookham years) which he once knew as a 'paradise' and so could now render as a metaphorical Garden of Eden.
In exploring these 'paradise images' Stanley was discovering the sources of the special meanings so significant to him. If his successful visionary paintings were personal resurrections, those he named specifically as Resurrections - the Cookham Resurrection, or the Port Glasgow Resurrections, for example - reveal the comprehensions which had special meanings for him because they provided answers - redemptions - to the more troubling of his disturbers of the peace. Through these redemptions he could reach the peace and happiness so essential to his continued creativity.
His word intimacy too comprised more than a social or sexual relationship. It encompassed his and his wife Hilda's ongoing exploration of the quality of duality in existence - the male-female, the bi-polarity of animal life. Only when the two individual elements are successfully conjoined to provide a state of unity reflecting their intimacy can creativity - artistic or physical - take place. The definition is significant in that it formed the basis of the counterpoint system which so much of Stanley's visionary art was constructed.
Perhaps the most difficult to grasp was Stanley's meaning of the word love. It had little to do with modern romantic or sentimental usage. At first it seems to have been used to describe his feelings of heightened self-identification with whatever around him gradually came into his consciousness and filled a missing gap or, as he put it, every time we appreciate something it is a recognition of something in ourselves. The effect for him was that the loved object (it was not necessarily a person, it could be a thing or even a sensation) had responded to his love and had thereby restored to him a part of himself which he had not previously recognised existed. It had expanded his comprehension and carried him a little deeper into the universal consciousness. It was to him a mysterious manifestation of the creative operation of something beyond him which he came to define as the Love of God (i.e. the Love from God), as it knitted each personal moment or experience of Love towards the totality he called perfection, the ancient spiritual or metaphysical longing of mankind to be at one with the universe.
By 1934 the association between Stanley's interpretations of Love and God had become God is Love, a text from the gospel of St John which he used as the title for his entry in Sermons by Artists, a 1934 publication by The Golden Cockerel Press. One can only conjecture the depths of Stanley's meaning - perhaps that we should recognise and honour a creative element in the march of evolution - Bergson's élan vital? - as an entity which mankind has always viewed with awe, the basis of religious thought, and perhaps the ultimate neurological mystery of the human mind which may for ever defy analysis by logical consciousness. The association was repeated again by Stanley in his subsequent 'mantra' as Love (or religion, I don't mind) = happiness = gratitude = aspiration = passion = creative power.
As Professor Nigel Rapport suggests, his [Stanley's] meaning of love - ambitious, arrogant, certain, strange - might sit uneasily alongside English politeness and reserve, but one day it would be acclaimed the truth.

My Portuguese Kitchen: Bolinhos de Laranja "Little Orange Cakes"
I haven't tried using an egg substitute but give it a try and let me know how it worked out.
I baked these for our Girl Scouts troop for our World Thinking Day booth and they were a big hit! Thanks for posting. I have been asked for the recipe multiple times and have been sharing your page.
Hi Paula: I made these for a graduation party and they were fantastic. Mine seemed to be denser than yours but nonetheless they were a hit. When you combine the eggs with the sugar do you use the paddle or whisk on the mixer?
What nice little "treasure" cakes. I will have to try them soon, I'm a huge fan of orange anything! Thank you for posting.
Could I use a mini muffin pans to make these or do they works best at regular size muffin pan, thank you.
Hello Paula, someone had prviously asked this question is this for mini muffin pans as the look like they are not the regular size ones.
