Furore over 'inappropriate' milk name
by Benedict Brook
5th Aug 2020 7:46 AM
An Indigenous activist who spearheaded the successful campaign to rename Coon cheese due to its racist connotations has denied his next target is Pauls' Smarter White milk.
Businessman and social justice activist Dr Stephen Hagan told news.com.au he had begun receiving "appalling" hate mail since media reports claimed he "will now campaign" for Smarter White milk to be renamed.
"I'm not running a campaign. I'm being abused because of something I didn't do," he said.
However, Dr Hagan said he had heard from some Indigenous Australians who were indeed unhappy with the name and he wondered why Paul's international owner had stuck with Smarter White rather than change it to simply "Smarter Milk".
Globally, many well-known brands have been, or are in the process of being, changed following increased awareness around issues of race in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.

COON, RED SKINS, NOW SMARTER WHITE?
Uncle Ben's rice and Allen's Red Skins and Chicos lollies are just a few of the brands sold in Australia that will receive a makeover.
But the most high profile rebranding is that of Coon cheese. Its owner, Canadian firm Saputo Dairy, confirmed in a letter to Dr Hagan last month that it wanted to "honour" the historic Australian brand named after Edward William Coon while aligning with current attitudes and perspectives".
The name change from Coon came after Dr Hagan and others, including actor Josh Thomas, called out the brand. Thomas said the name was widely considered to be "hate speech" used to belittle Indigenous Australians.
On Tuesday, Daily Mail Australia published an article claiming Dr Hagan had started a new campaign with the Paul's milk variety in the crosshairs.
But Mr Hagan, a Kullilli man from south west Queensland, said he was merely responding to questions about the appropriateness of the brand name - not launching specific action against the milk company.
"Aboriginal people are saying that there's an inference that it's for smart, white people, not for smart, black people," the website quoted Dr Hagan as saying.
The article claimed Dr Hagan was considering contacting Paul's owner, French firm Lactalis, to pressure them to remove the word "white" from packs.
Some Indigenous Australians have questioned if the Smarter White milk brand is appropriate. Picture: Calum Robertson.
In fact, Dr Hagan said he was called by a reporter to discuss comments initially made on social media by New South Wales One Nation leader Mark Latham.
Mr Latham first raised questions about the name of the milk, putting up a post Facebook about the brand, before Dr Hagan had even spoken about the issue.
"Surprised the mob haven't cancelled my favourite milk. Evidence of the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of cancel culture where evil snowflakes randomly select their next victim," Mr Latham wrote.
His two posts on the issue have now garnered more than 1200 comments and almost 4500 reactions.

Dr Hagan told news.com.au that while Aboriginal people had raised the question of whether the brand was appropriate, there was no concerted push from him to rename Smarter White milk.
"I've not raised this an issue and I'm not running a campaign. I didn't call a French company whose name I can't even pronounce.
"I was barely aware of this milk as I buy soy milk."
Dr Hagan said he'd received "appalling" abusive emails from people who beleived he was indeed advocating for the Smarter White name to be ditched.
News.com.au has seen numerous tweets and Facebook posts directed at Dr Hagan for his supposed campaign using highly derogatory terms.
"I can avoid the comments on social media but I have to walk down the street and people abuse me.
"The hatred in people's eye when they see this big black fella walking around. I don't like my family to feel that hatred so I'll probably stay indoors for the next two weeks until it all blows over."
NAME MIGHT NOT BE 'APPROPRIATE'
Nonetheless, Dr Hagan said Lactalis Australia, along with other companies, might consider changing brands that over time had been deemed to be offensive.
"I'd need to see the origin of the Smarter White name and why they used the word," he said. "It might seem trivial but if you look through an Indigenous lens, people who are demeaned every day, the term Smarter White might not be an appropriate description.
"People have said to me, what's smart about it? And why can't they use the terms like diet milk, low fat milk or 'Smarter Milk'".
Allen's Chicos and Red Skins, made by Nestle, are set to be renamed.
Dr Hagan reiterated there was no campaign to change the name. But if there was a groundswell of support from Indigenous Australians he'd consider raising their concerns with the company.
"With Coon cheese, I got whacked around for daring to want to change the brand. But brands change, it's just because an Aboriginal person dared to change an iconic brand that people take offence."
Dr Hagan lobbied Coon cheese's various owners for more than two decades to change the brand name.
In 1999, he complained to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission about the brand name. His complaint was unsuccessful.
His more recent complaint said the name should be "consigned to the past of outdated racist brands''.
Dr Hagan has organised a number of anti-racism campaigns over years of activism. He is currently in dispute with Coles after he claimed staff at one of the grocery giant's servos forced him to pre-pay for fuel, a condition not placed on white customers. Coles denied race was a factor in him being asked to pre-pay.
On Monday, Mr Latham posted another Facebook post asking if White King bleach was the "next to go".
Dr Hagan told news.com.au he was not campaigning against that brand either.

Morton Klein on Forward article: 'Defamatory lies'
ZOA President talks about the Forward calling him 'more dangerous than Linda Sarsour', the White House, and ZOA's future plans.
Tzvi Lev, 10/08/17 12:24
Dr. Joseph Frager and Morton Klein
Morton Klein, the 24-year President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) started receiving concerned phone calls from friends and family this past Thursday. The Forward, a left of center American Jewish publication, had claimed that Klein was more dangerous for Jews than Palestinian-American firebrand Linda Sarsour, and compared him to some of the world's well-known anti-Semites.
"As leader of the Zionist Organization of America, Klein has embraced and defended alt-right figures like Bannon and Gorka for their unabashedly pro-Israel-at-any-costs position, cozying up to anti-Semitic forces if it advances the ZOA's ardent Zionist goals." Forward editorial fellow Steven Davidson had penned in an article titled "19 People Jews Should Worry About More Than Linda Sarsour."
Also featured on Davidson's list were Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah,and former KKK Imperial Wizard David Duke.
"My 95 year old mother, a Holocaust survivor, who lost most of her family to the most anti Semitic horror in history, called me crying when she was made aware of this disgraceful article, listing me with the biggest haters and Jew-killers of our era," recalls Klein in a wide-ranging interview with Arutz Sheva.
"She was hysterically crying in fear for my safety and reputation because of this insane article."
Klein, obviously furious, said:. "They call me a danger to Jews? When I fight with my heart and soul for the Jewish people every day for the past 24 years?" he asked. "They write these defamatory lies. They say I cozy up to anti-Semites."
"I cozy up to anti-Semites? I fight anti-Semites." declared Klein. " I have gotten rid of Israel-haters from key government posts. Charles Freeman, who was going to be National Intelligence Director, James Zogby, who was going to work in the State Department, Salam al-Marayati, I led those fights, and I was successful, and they say I cozy up to anti-Semites?"
"James Zogby who heads the Arab-American Institute, one of the most anti-Israel people in the country, wrote an article decrying 'The vocal and muscular ZOA that his risen like a phoenix.' Obviously, everything I've told you makes it quite clear that I am not one of the 19 most dangerous people in the world' said Klein.
"The Boston Globe defended me. The New York Post defended me. Even a top reporter at Haaretz, Amir Tibon told me to send anyone that wants a quote to him, and he would tell them that this is ridiculous. And Amir Tibon is a left-winger!"
Professor Alan Dershowitz did the same, calling the Forward article the"most despicable ever in Jewish media."

Klein was born in a displaced persons (DP) camp in Germany. He later became a world renowned economist, serving in the Nixon, Ford, and Carter Administrations, as well as a bio statistician at UCLA School of Public Health.
"They actually said that the ZOA is not even Jewish!" he continued . "They called us an 'ostensibly Jewish organization. We are the oldest Jewish organization in America that fights for Israel. The whole board is Jewish, almost all of our managers are Jewish, and were don't work on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. "
"Do you know who spoke at our dinners the past few years? Israel's US Ambassador Ron Dermer, UN Ambassador Danny Danon, this year we have US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has spoken by video at every dinner for last ten years. They would speak at an organization that is not Jewish?" Klein asked rhetorically.
Rumors have abounded about Morton Klein's privileged access to the White House ever since the President Trump took office. "It's true" he confirms. "I am close to some of the most senior people in the White House. I've been to the White House four times in the last few months. "
"Trump has done many good things for Israel, but he also has done some bad things," Klein asserted. We publicly criticized him for not mentioning Jews in his Holocaust Day statement, we've criticized him for not moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and we've criticized him for saying that Iran has fulfilled their obligations under the nuclear deal.
"We are not pro-Trump or pro-Republican, or Democrat. We are pro-Israel."

Wellman is a city in Washington County, Iowa, United States. It is part of the Iowa City, Iowa Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,524 at the time of the 2020 census.

History
Wellman is named for Joseph Edward Wellman, who in July, 1879, provided  of his farmland for railroad construction including lots for development near the depot. Mr. Wellman was born in Lawrence County, Kentucky on 12 May 1824, acquired his farm in 1859, and died in Wellman on 14 January 1901.

Original European settlement of the area occurred in 1839 on the north side of the English River north of Wellman.  A gristmill began operation in 1842, and the community of Wassonville was surveyed and platted in 1848. The Wassonville ferry served a major territorial road from Iowa City to Oskaloosa and the western frontier. A roadhouse had been constructed by 1850 and population grew to 300.  Wassonville residents discouraged by frequent flood damage from the English River established the replacement village of Dayton on higher ground south of Wassonville in 1855. Dayton was the main trading point of the area from about 1860 to 1880, and the name was changed to Daytonville by the United States Post Office in 1878.

Construction of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway depot shifted the focus of trade south to Wellman. The City of Wellman was incorporated in 1885, and a city water system was completed in 1896. The volunteer fire department established in 1893 was challenged by a fire which destroyed the east side of Main Street in February, 1902. The railway became part of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad in 1903. The first concrete sidewalk was built in front of the Wellman Savings Bank in 1904 and main street was paved in 1927. The first sewage treatment plant was built in 1940. The first fire truck went into service in August, 1946. Natural gas became available from the Wellman Municipal Gas System in 1963.

Overview
Wellman was founded in 1878 and had a centennial celebration in 1979. The town holds an annual, family-oriented Fourth of July celebration. The city's motto is: "A Town That Cares"

The local weekly newspaper is the Wellman Advance. The city is served by its own volunteer ambulance service and volunteer fire department, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1978. Enhanced 911 service is available in the entire area.  Two municipal parks are within the city limits - The North Park provides recreational facilities including lighted tennis courts, lighted baseball diamonds, playground facilities, a YMCA and a band shelter. The South Park is located along the "Smith Creek" waterway and is used extensively for horse shows and various entertainment programs. The English River winds its way just north of Wellman and provides for an abundance of sightseeing, hiking, canoeing and bird watching.

The 2005-2009 Academic Years
Archean Greenstone Belt, Canada
The Abitibi Greenstone Belt (AGB), and specifically the Blake River Group, affords us the relatively rare opportunity to study seafloor volcanic and hydrothermal processes in an area that is both accessible and has a significant thickness of exposed extrusive pile. We plan to study mafic volcanic rocks of the AGB that were erupted as part of an ancient Archean seafloor sequence. Our proposed detailed mapping, physical properties, geochemical, and petrographic studies will contribute to the geologic understanding of seafloor volcanic and hydrothermal processes within the context of modern ocean crustal processes and provide us with a better understanding of how hydrothermal fluid flow patterns may have operated early in Earth's history.
Boulder Creek Catchment, Colorado
This project will join a large interdisciplinary study (Boulder Creek Critical Zone Observatory: Weathered profile development in a rocky environment and its influence on watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry—NSF 0724960) directed by Suzanne Anderson, University of Colorado and Institute for Arctic and Alpine Studies (INSTAAR). The "observatory" will consist of 3 small, instrumented sites in the Boulder Creek basin: (1) a steep alpine area in the Boulder watershed; (2) a forested, mid-elevation catchment developed in deeply weathered materials, and (3) a steep, lower-elevation basin where surficial deposits are of variable thickness.
Western Mongolia
The Deluun Range is flanked on its western side by the Tolbo Nuur Fault, which exhibits evidence for both recent right-lateral strike-slip and thrust rupture, but has never been studied beyond a reconnaissance level (Baljinnyam et al., 1993). The Mongolian Altai is the largest glaciated area in Mongolia (Lehmkuhl, 1998), and the Deluun range supports retreating glaciers that provide runoff critical to local peoples and endemic species. This project will examine the neotectonics, geomorphology, and paleoecology – climatology of this geologically fascinating area.
Adirondack Lowlands
This project will be an integrated structural and metamorphic study that will focus on two high-grade fault zones in the Adirondack portion of the Grenville Province, with a focus on dating deformation, determining shearing conditions within the zone, and identifying discontinuities across the boundaries.
Matanuska Valley, Alaska
This project aims to expose students to methods of paleobiological and historical analysis on a fluvio-lacustrine early Tertiary basin in south-central Alaska. The summer program will consist entirely of fieldwork, with the expectation that some laboratory analyses will be carried out through the academic year 2008-2009.
Block Island, Rhode Island
Block Island offers unequalled opportunities for integrative research in earth and environmental sciences: within its modest perimeter we can study rates of recent sea level rise and anthropogenic pollution within the framework of climate and environmental changes over centuries to thousands of years,with even a peek into the past a hundred million years ago.
Poggio Colla, Italy
Our geoarchaeology project will coordinate with and support the larger goals of the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project and Poggio Colla Field School. These endeavors combine excavation, intra-site archaeological spatial sampling, and archaeometry as part of an interdisciplinary regional landscape analysis of the Etruscan site of Poggio Colla and the surrounding area. The project seeks to contribute significantly to understanding of the Etruscan culture, which inhabited central Italy in the first millennium BCE, coinciding with the early Iron Age. A long-term goal of the MVAP is an interdisciplinary regional landscape analysis of the area around Poggio Colla.

'The Overnight' Doesn't Quite Find The Right Balance Between Humor And Heart
June 16, 2015 by James Jay Edwards
Synopsis: Alex, Emily, and their son, RJ, are new to Los Angeles. A chance meeting at the park introduces them to the mysterious Kurt, Charlotte, and Max. A family "playdate" becomes increasingly interesting as the night goes on.
Release Date: June 19, 2015 MPAA Rating: PG-13
Genre(s): Comedy,
After Patrick Brice's first movie, the horror-tinged Creep, made a splash at South by Southwest last year, the writer/director decided to try something completely different for his second feature. He decided to tackle traditional comedy, and the resulting film is The Overnight.
The Overnight stars Adam Scott ("Parks and Recreation") and Taylor Schilling ("Orange is the New Black") as Alex and Emily, a couple who has recently relocated to Los Angeles with their toddler son. While at a park one afternoon, they meet Kurt and Charlotte (Jason Schwartzman from Moonrise Kingdom and Judith Godrèche from Stoker, respectively), an eccentric couple who invites them over for dinner and a playdate with their son. Alex and Emily are reluctant as first, but soon decide to throw caution to the wind and accept the invitation. They soon learn that Kurt and Charlotte are even stranger than they thought, and after the kids go to bed, things get really weird for the adults. After some skinny dipping, some wine, and some weed, the four adults wind up getting to know each other better than they had ever anticipated.
Patrick Brice's screenplay for The Overnight is a little schizophrenic. It's full of lowbrow humor and playground gags, but tries to turn the corner and become deep and philosophical as the night goes on. As the pizza leads to alcohol and the alcohol leads to marijuana, the characters get more and more honest with each other and start to reveal their deepest insecurities and their darkest secrets. Once the secrets start coming out, however, the film gets way too predictable in its attempts to shock the viewer in the name of supposed comedy. Unfortunately, the humor takes away from the heart that the movie tries to establish, and the philosophical angle hurts the comedy. The Overnight tries to have both humor and meaning, but fails at establishing either.
The Overnight isn't a bad movie, it just lacks focus, and so it ends up coming off like an episode of an annoying reality show, or an 8mm home movie of a party. Luckily, it's a short film, less than 80 minutes, so it doesn't lack focus for too long. And it does have a few good laughs, if jokes about masturbation and penis size are your thing. The Overnighters is the cinematic equivalent of the punk band Blink-182; it's not a think piece, but it's enjoyable enough under the right circumstances.
Because there are basically only four characters in The Overnight, the film relies heavily on the core actors to tell the story. Quite frankly, the chemistry between the four principals is easily the best element in the film. There is a noticeable opposites-attract type of a thing between the characters, with the insecure couple of Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling being drawn to the more worldly and extroverted Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche. When the four characters are all together, there's a fun energy between them, but when they divide up into pairs, that energy turns into sexual tension, even between the two guys and two gals. Overall, it just looks like The Overnight was probably a lot more fun to make than it is to watch, and most of that is because the cast members seem to genuinely enjoy being around each other.
Comedy Factor
Most of the comedy in The Overnight is potty humor. For those who find that kind of stuff funny, it's well done, but those are the types of lowbrow gags that should be expected. Just about every one of the jokes and gags in the film revolves around some body part, whether it's Charlotte's job as an actress in breast milk pump instructional videos or Kurt's abstract paintings of human anuses. Even the dialogue is packed with sexual innuendo and perverted double-speak – when Kurt offers Emily a drink, he of course does it by asking her "Emily, can I get you a stiff one?" Keeping with the fun, The Overnight also features the silliest prosthetic penis seen in a movie since Boogie Nights. The humor is all very sophomoric. That doesn't mean it isn't funny, just that it's brainless comedy, and brainless comedy that has been done a million times (and done better). There's no higher meaning in The Overnight, just raunchy fun.

Earnings sharing regulation – A regulation that requires businesses to refund customers when their profits exceed the regulated level.
Easy monetary policy – Federal Reserve policies that expand the money supply. This results in lower interest rates and is intended to stimulate the economy (by shifting AD right).
Economic depreciation – The opportunity cost to a firm from using capital that it owns during a given time period instead of selling it. It is measured by the change in market value of the capital over a given period. For example, if you could sell your forklift today for $1,000 or $500 a year from now, the economic depreciation of the forklift for the year is $500.
Economic freedom – A condition where people are able to make choices, private property is protected, rule of law is enforced, and voluntary exchange is present such that agents can buy and sell goods and services in markets.
Economic growth – The expansion of the production possibilities of an economy.
Economic growth rate – The yearly percentage change of real GDP (gross domestic product).
Economic integration – When two or more nations form a free-trade zone.
Economic profit – A firm's total revenue minus total cost (including all associated opportunity costs).
Economic theory – A statement about cause and effect that can be tested.

Economies of scale – Occurs when a firm increases its plant size and labor employed by the same percentage and its output increases by a larger percentage. Economies of scale occurs towards the left side of the long run average total cost curve on the part of the LRATC curve where it is sloping down.
Efficiency – Also called allocative efficiency, and happens when an economy produces what people want at the lowest possible cost.
Efficiency wage theory – An explanation for why the productivity of workers can rise as wages rise which explains why firms may pay higher wages than necessary to get employees.
Efficient market – A market where opportunities for profit are eliminated nearly immediately (example: firms entering a perfectly competitive market in the long run).
Efficient scale – The quantity at which average total cost is at its minimum (where the marginal cost curve crosses the average total cost curve).
Elastic demand – When the percentage change in quantity demanded is higher than the percentage change in price.
Elastic supply – When the percentage change in the quantity supplied is higher than the percentage change in price.
Empirical economics – The use of data to test economic theories.

Excess reserves – A bank's actual reserves minus its desired reserves.
Excess supply – A scenario where the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded, also called a "surplus" and typically happens when the market price it greater than the equilibrium price.
Exchange rate – The ratio at which two currencies are traded or the price of one country's currency in terms of another country's currency.
Exogenous variable – A variable that does not depend on the model (or the state of the economy with respect to economics). This means that the variable does not change when anything inside the model changes (or within the economy). For example, the number of rainy days per year should not depend on the unemployment rate, therefore the number of rainy days is an exogenous variable.
Expansion – The period in a business cycle from the trough to the peak. Also called a boom, and output (GDP) will rise and unemployment will fall.
Expansionary fiscal policy – An increase in government spending or a reduction in taxes with the intent of stimulating the economy (shifting AD right).

Export subsidies – Government payments made to domestic firms to encourage exports. The subsidies in effect raise the price received by the domestic firms.
Exports – The goods and services that firms in one country ship to and sell to households and firms in another country.
Externality – A cost or benefit that arises from a transaction that falls on a third party not directly involved in the transaction. Pollution from a factory is the most common example because the person buying the factory's product may not be subject to its pollution but people who live near the factory that did NOT buy the product have to deal with the pollution.


Höegh Autoliners is standing firm on its decision not to implement scrubbers but comply with the IMO 2020 regulations by using very low sulphur fuel oil or low sulphur MGO.
CEO Ivar Myklebust said: "There are many reasons to why we have decided against scrubbers. First of all, the reasoning behind the IMO 2020 regulation is to reduce emissions from the global trading fleet. I am not so sure scrubbers will support that mission".
Another reason for deciding against scrubbers is that ports have already started to ban open loop scrubbers.
Fuel availability is a concern, however. "I want to hear from the refineries how they will secure us with sufficient supply of a product that is legal, namely the very low sulphur fuel oil and low sulphur MGO," added Myklebust.
Transporting cargo by sea will be more expensive from 1 January 2020. Those that invest in scrubbers will need their investments to be paid off and for others, fuel will be considerably more expensive.

Leeds United Transfer Rumours: Which players are on Leeds United's radar this summer?
As the season draws closer and the transfer news heats up, we take a look at some potential moves Leeds could be making over the coming weeks.

Share All sharing options for: Leeds United Transfer Rumours: Which players are on Leeds United's radar this summer?
Photo by George Wood/Getty Images
With the Championship pre-season beginning earlier this week, the rumours and whispers of the summer transfer window have started to echo that little bit louder. For Leeds United, this summer spells a glorious opportunity to improve a squad which came agonisingly close to gaining promotion last year. After keeping hold of manager Marcelo Bielsa, and seemingly fending off a hot pursuit of their prized possession Kalvin Phillips, Leeds are in pole position heading into the 2019/20 season. However, this squad is thin, and we saw all too well last year how a string of injuries to key players really upset their flow and damaged the White's promotion chances. With Leeds looking to kick-start their summer and get active in the transfer window, here are a few players that Radrizzani and co. have got their eyes on.
Helder Costa
The potential loan move for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Helder Costa has been doing the rounds for weeks now, but a longer wait is expected before any solid news is broken on Costa's future. After playing an instrumental role in Wolves' promotion to the Premier League in 2018, Costa has unluckily fallen down the pecking order at Molineux and could be deemed surplus to requirements if Wolves continue to invest this summer.
The £13million price tag on Costa's head certainly makes him an unrealistic permanent transfer for Leeds, but could be within budget for Aston Villa, who are reportedly keen on the 25-year-old. A permanent move makes more sense for Wolves too and throws a spanner in the works for Leeds's loan offer, but perhaps Nuno Espirito Santo will want to avoid selling him to a fellow Premier League rival. We'll have to wait and see, but don't expect this story to die down anytime soon, as the ever-reliable Phil Hay has confirmed he's still firmly in Leeds's eyeline.
they're still on with the four you know about - Costa, White, Harrison, Kent. Because they'd be loans, all dependent on wishes of other clubs and terms of deals. Buffon rumour is comedy, but you know that.
— Phil Hay (@PhilHay_) June 25, 2019
Ryan Kent
22-year-old Liverpool youngster Ryan Kent is another winger who could be joining the Whites on loan this year. However, a deal to make this happen is looking more and more unlikely as re-joining Rangers is apparently his preferred move. Kent enjoyed an incredible season at Ibrox last year, winning Scottish Young Player of the Year under Steven Gerrard's management, and it is probable that he will reunite with the Liverpool legend for another season in Scotland. After already rejecting a loan offer from Leeds, Liverpool seem to have a plan for Kent who is another player out of Leeds price range. Keep an eye on him, but don't expect much.
Steven Gerrard confirms Rangers hope to have Liverpool's Ryan Kent - also a summer target of Leeds' - back at Ibrox next season. "Yes we would like Ryan Kent back but the reality is he's Liverpool's player so we have to respect that..." #lufc

Jamal Lowe
If Kent doesn't end up in Yorkshire by the end of summer, Jamal Lowe from Portsmouth could be an alternative which makes a lot of sense. Having scored 15 League One goals last year from the wing, the £3million rated 24-year-old has alerted the attention of a flurry of Championship sides, including some of Leeds's promotion rivals West Brom, Middlesbrough and Cardiff. Although £3million for someone who has only just started to impress in League One might be a risky bet, he is highly rated by the Pompey faithful, and would strengthen Leeds's depth on the wing - a position identified by everyone as requiring improvement. It could be a risk, but given Lowe's recent goalscoring record combined with a season under the magic of Bielsa, he could turn into a star at this level.
(Opinion) Leeds United needs to sign Portsmouth's Jamal Lowe.
The winger contributed with 17 goals & nine assists in over 50 games for #Pompey last season. #lufc must renew their interest for the player as he would be a natural fit under Bielsa.https://t.co/WrKt2iW9vV

Ander Iturraspe
It wouldn't be a usual transfer rumour article without some ambitious and incredulous speculation, would it? However, after the ridiculous links between Leeds and Gianluigi Buffon and Francesco Totti surfacing this week, the signing of Ander Iturraspe starts to sound more believable. Spanish news outlet El Desmarque have confirmed that Iturraspe will be leaving Athletic Bilbao this summer, and many reports have suggested a reunion with his old mentor Marcelo Bielsa could be on the cards. This would be a real coup for Leeds as the Spanish international, despite only achieving five appearances in La Liga last season, should still have enough about him to dominate Championship midfields.
At only aged 30 too, he's still got a few years left in if he manages to get over the numerous injuries that have plagued his past couple of seasons in Spain. Anyway, with reported interest from Asia and Greece, Leeds may struggle to compete financially and could fall short of meeting Iturraspe's probably extortionate wage demands. I would be surprised if this one came off, but who knows, stranger things have happened.
Ander Iturraspe being linked with a move to Leeds United to join up with Marcelo Bielsa. The midfielder's contract was not renewed for the coming season. #lufc
— Athletic Club UK (@AthleticClubUK) June 25, 2019
With this list including three potential wingers, it is clear which area of the squad the backroom staff believe needs an overhaul this summer. Perhaps this is an indication that Jack Clarke's move to Tottenham is getting closer, and the injection of cash received from this deal could be integral to pushing through some incoming transfers in the next couple of months. The fact that Leeds are even being linked with players of Costa's and Iturraspe's quality shows how far this team progressed last season, and the importance of maintaining the allure of Marcelo Bielsa as Head Coach cannot be underestimated. If Leeds happen to make some big-name signings this summer, expect Bielsa to be the key attraction for these inbound stars.

Rebuilding a Land Rover from the ground up is a project which is not to be taken lightly. There were times when I wished I'd never started! But the end result has been worthwhile. I also took the opportunity to implement some improvements whilst renovating all the various bits.
Trying to get the sections to "flow" has been a challenge; I think the best way to present the information in a useable format is by having three main sections.
"Reassembly" - putting things back together and hoping they fit.
Having sections like this means some tasks are covered in all three sections. So don't forget you can always use the "Site Search" button on the left menu if you're looking for something specific.
So how did this website come about? Well, I used to own a 1979 Series III 109 Land Rover, and much as I enjoyed driving it, I really longed for a V8 110. I found a 1983 model on Ebay and was the successful bidder. I then sold my 109, and had room in my garage to commence restoring the 110.
From past experience, I was aware of the importance of keeping a photographic record when dismantling and renovating something - despite having a comprehensive parts diagram and workshop manual. As a result, this site has a considerable number of photos, depicting the dismantling, renovating, and reassembly processes. I started off with an ordinary Sony Cybershot DSC-72; but half-way through the rebuild it died, so the remaining photographs were taken with my wife's Nikon D-80 - and a very nice camera it is too!
This entire rebuild was done single-handedly, with the exception of the rear body. I enlisted the aid of a friend in carrying the rear tub out of the garage. My wife then assisted in manoeuvring the rear tub for stripping and painting, and then moving the renovated rear tub back into the garage, this time with the aid of an office chair on castors!
Have a look around - you can use the navigation menu on the left or the sitemap below. I hope you enjoy your visit - you may even find some sections useful for your own project!
Oh yes - and if you happen to enjoy using Facebook, feel free to use that to leave a comment, "like" a page, or "like" this site!
No, nothing to do with Land Rovers I'm afraid!

Track-and-Trace System Employed by Desitin in Germany
Mid-sized pharmaceutical firm uses PAS-X Track & Trace on two of its packaging lines in Hamburg to comply with anti-counterfeiting requirements.
Based in Hamburg, Germany, Desitin Arzneimittle GMBH is a pharmaceutical firm that focuses on treating epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Its portfolio also includes products that address psychiatric diseases, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Dravet Syndrome.
Recently, the mid-sized manufacturer implemented Werum's PAS-X Track & Trace serialization and aggregation offering at its Hamburg plant. Desitin required a lean, powerful and easy-to-implement track-and-trace solution to comply with the anti-counterfeiting requirements of its various international target markets, which include all EU countries.
"We opted for Werum's PAS-X Track & Trace as the connector between the shop floor and the serialization level because it meets all of our requirements," says Daniel Weniger, Head of Process Engineering at Desitin Arzneimittel GmbH. "It is a proven serialization and aggregation solution that is already used successfully by many pharma and biotech manufacturers around the globe."
Werum's PAS-X Track & Trace is installed out of the box, ensuring a short implementation time and safeguarding future upgrades. Initially the system covers two packaging lines and will be extended later.
Werum is part of Medipak Systems, the Pharma Systems business area of the international technology group Körber.

Sweet Churros are one of those very popular street foods or street desserts in Turkey. They are mostly called Halka Tatlisi in Turkish, which could be translated as Circular Dessert because of its shape. I was so surprised when I learnt that Spanish and French cuisines have a kind of snack, very similar to Turkish circular dessert in shape. I have never eaten churros, but I know that it's a popular snack, which is sometimes eaten even at breakfast. So I guess original churros are not as sweet as their Turkish version.
When I realize how popular churros are around the world, I decided to name our halka tatlisi Sweet Churros to give you an idea about it. It is a cheap street dessert in Turkey and you just buy and eat it when walking on the Street. Vendors don't use napkins, and noone asks for it. You just hold these sweet churros with a piece of paper, simiar to the one in these pictures.
Although this dessert is so much loved by many people, Turkish sweet churros have a bad reputation about its name.
Besides the name circular dessert, it has another interesting name. Well, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to share it here; I don't really want you to have a prejudice on this simple but scrumptious dessert. On the other hand, I'm trying to give you a good perspective of Turkish food and culture on this blog, so there would be something missing if I didn't tell you the other name of these sweet churros in Turkish. Ok, these are also known as brothel dessert. It's said that vendors sell these so sweet churros in front of brothels. That's why it may not be a good idea to take this dessert to a dinner part you are invited if you are not very close to the host.
As for the preparation of these sweet churros, a kind of cooked dough is first shaped in circles, then fried until crunchy and dipped into a cold sweet syrup. Its dough and cooking the method is the same with Turkish Tulumba Tatlisi.
I don't prefer making it at home, but I will share the recipe I got from a Turkish cookbook.
Turkish sweet churros are fried and dipped into syrup. A crunchy and sweet street food!
Start with its syrup. Mix sugar and water and heat it until it boils.
Add in lemon juice when it gets a little thicker.
Boil for a few minutes and let it cold.
To prepare its dough, put water and butter in a pot and let it boil.
Add in flour and stir fast.
Add sugar and salt and stir over lowest heat until you get a non stick dough, for about 5 minutes.
Take it from stove and let it cold stirring occasionally.
Break eggs into it one by one when it reaches at room temperature.
Add in semolina and starch and mix with a spatula or mixer until smooth.
Pour this dough into a piping bag and squeeze in a circular shape.
Put these circular desserts into cold oil and then bring the heat to medium.
Fry them until crunchy and golden.
Toss them in cold syrup when they are still hot and wait in syrup for a few minutes so that they can absorb it.
Then take them out and serve.
Note: For each frying, let the oil cold and then put other raw desserts into oil. It's very important to put them in cold oil first. Otherwise they won't be cooked well inside.
FUNNY BC CHURROS ARE Hispanic! Stop stealing food and sweets from other countries, especially from Greece, and claiming them as your own!
I didn't know there was a Turkish version of churros! What a fun snack. And, good to know the alternate name for them!
Merhaba Zerrin, amazing photos as always : ) these treats looks amazing ! they are so delicious and rich, really a treat, eline saglik!


> Producers>Other Producers>Casata Monfort>Trento D.O.C. Brut "Monfort"
The Casata Monfort range of products includes a classic spumante (sparkling wine) made according to the traditional methods in which fermentation takes place in the bottle. It is produced with Chardonnay.
...grapes from the hilly slopes of Trento and Pergine Valsugana, situated at heights ranging from 400 to 600 metres a.s.l..
In the spring following harvest, once the cuvée has been made by mixing the batches of wine from the same year with bred wine yeast andliqueur de tirage, the wine base is bottled and left to mature in cellars at a temperature of 8-12 °C. In this period of time the so-called "taking of the froth" fermentation phenomenon takes place. It is a process in which carbon dioxide develops, which is the gas that produces a pressure of 6 atmospheres. To refine the bouquet, the bottles are periodically shaken, thus allowing for the sparkling wine to come into contact with the lees. It is after this period, which is the most fascinating in the process, when the bottles are put onto pupitres (special leaning frames), with the bottles upside down, where for two months they are shaken daily and turned eight times by expert cellar-men. This process allows all the deposits to rise to the neck of the bottle, which can then be removed during the "disgorgement", which consists of opening the bottle to remove the sediment. Before sealing, using a cork stopper, the bottles are topped up with a Liquer d'expédition, the secret recipe held by each sparkling wine maker.
FLAVOUR: dry, full, fragrant, harmonious, well-balanced.
Best enjoyed at a temperature of 8-10 °C.
The Spumante Brut Casata Monfort considered a sparkling wine for all dishes. This is a classic wine for special occasions, to begin a party or celebration, giving a toast, accompanied by mouth watering appetizers, followed by the pouring of the drinks.
Designation of origin Trento D.O.C.
This classic sparkling wine produced according to the "Trento doc Metodo Classico" method is obtained by the in-bottle refermentation. It is made from selected Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes coming from the hills of Trento and Pergine Valsugana situated at an altitude of between 400 and 600 metres a.s.l.

Katharina Fritsch (* 14. Februar 1956 in Essen) ist eine bildende Künstlerin, die seit den 1980er-Jahren mit ihren Plastiken internationale Anerkennung erlangt hat.

Leben und Werk
Katharina Fritsch lebt und arbeitet in Düsseldorf. Seit 2001 hat sie eine Künstlerische Professur für Bildhauerei an der Kunstakademie Münster (Hochschule für Bildende Künste). Ab Sommersemester 2010 hat Katharina Fritsch eine Professur für Bildhauerei an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

Fritschs Vater war Architekt. Zunächst studierte sie Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte in Münster. 1977 brach sie dieses Studium ab und wechselte zur Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Dort studierte sie bei Fritz Schwegler. Danach widmete sie sich der Malerei. Erste plastische Arbeiten entstanden im Jahre 1979. Sie beendete ihr Studium 1984.

Der internationale Durchbruch gelang ihr in der Ausstellung Von hier aus – Zwei Monate neue deutsche Kunst in Düsseldorf 1984 in Düsseldorf. Ihren Elefanten stellte sie erstmals 1987 im Krefelder Kaiser-Wilhelm-Museum aus, 2002 in der Bel Etage im K21 und 2022 bei der 59. Venedig Biennale. Das Werk führte zu Diskussionen in den europäischen und amerikanischen Kunstzeitschriften, so dass die lebensgroßen Skulpturen der Künstlerin zu ihrem Aushängeschild wurden. Manchen galt eine 1987 in der Fußgängerzone von Münster aufgestellte Lourdes-Madonna als Provokation. 1995 vertrat sie Deutschland bei der Biennale in Venedig und hatte 2001 eine Ausstellung in der Tate Gallery.

Die Skulpturen von Katharina Fritsch sind lebens- bis übergroße Darstellungen, die durch monochrome Farbgebungen auf die Form an sich reduziert werden. Dabei dient die Farbe als Identifizierungsmerkmal, Stimmungsträger und Metapher für bestimmte Eigenschaften. Diese Darstellung nimmt der Skulptur ihre Individualität und vermittelt dabei eine Art Warencharakter. Als Motive dienen häufig Bildthemen aus der Konsumwelt (in den 1980er Jahren) und Anspielungen auf Träume und Mythen (in den 1990er Jahren).

Katharina Fritsch ist Mitglied im Deutschen Künstlerbund und seit 2010 ordentliches Mitglied der Nordrhein-Westfälischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Künste.

Die bei der Kunstmesse Art Basel beim Stand der Matthew Marks Gallery auf einem etwa 1 m hohen Podest ausgestellte Skulptur Fliege wurde am 16. Juni 2019 von einem 3-jährigen Kind berührt und landete unsanft am Boden, wodurch die filigranen Flügel abbrachen.

Werke (Auswahl)
 1987: Elefant
 1988: Geldkisten, Wühltisch
 1991/92: Mann und Maus in der Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen K21, Düsseldorf
 1993: Rattenkönig

European Commission questioned on its action on rule of law in Malta
by Caroline Muscat January 25, 2019, 8:15 am
Questions tabled at the European Parliament on Thursday have raised the Venice Commission's findings on the rule of law in Malta and press the European Commission to state whether it intends to "enter into a constructive dialogue" with the country on the matter.
The questions refer to the Venice Commission's findings in its opinion on 17 December, 2018, "that the wide powers of appointments that the Prime Minister enjoys make this institution too powerful and create a serious risk for the rule of law".
The Venice Commission is an advisory body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts in the field of constitutional law. The opinion of the highest authority on the subject in Europe was requested from the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly. The Maltese government then followed.
The report raised a number of major concerns on the rule of law in Malta, with legal experts concluding that Malta is not a functioning democracy.
Back to basics: What is the rule of law?
Venice Commission report shows 'Malta is not a functioning democracy'
Venice Commission targets government's intolerance of criticism
The European Parliament's attention was also drawn to the Venice Commission's remark on weak checks and balances, which undermine democracy.
"Taking into account the Prime Minister's powers, notably his influence on judicial appointments, crucial checks and balances are missing. This problem is accentuated by the weakness of civil society and independent media," the report said.
The government's response completely ignored the report's entire section on Malta's media and civil society, and the state's obligation to protect them.
The questions tabled at the European Parliament raise specific recommendations made by the Venice Commission.
While encouraging a "constructive dialogue" MEPs Jeroen Lenaers (EPP), Monica Macovei (ECR) and Ana Gomes (S&D) pointed to the need for the European Commission to address the issue.

A FARMER was stung to death by wasps as his teenage son and father looked on helplessly.
The swarm attacked Oliver Gacquin (47) from Curraghboy, Co Roscommon, when he lifted an old silage bale and disturbed their nest.
The father-of-two was rushed to hospital after being stung numerous times last Wednesday, but he died eight hours later, probably due to an allergic reaction.
Mr Gacquin was laid to rest yesterday at St Brigid's Church in Curraghboy, four days after the incident.
His father, John (86) said: "They attacked his head and face. He went up the back with the rake and when he lifted the bale to move it, that's when the whole swarm came up and attacked his head.
"I was nearby and so was Oliver's 13-year-old son Raymond and they didn't come near either of us."
He explained that Mr Gacquin -- who was "blessed with a good head of hair" -- "just couldn't get the wasps out quickly enough".
"We live just 250 yards away and he ran into the kitchen of our house trying to swat them out of his hair with a towel.
"The doctors seem to think it might have been an allergic reaction. If he had got three or four stings he might have been all right. But he had been stung too often and the poison was in his blood.
"My wife told him to run out quick to his own house and get in the shower to cool his head and that's what he did. I went over behind him but by the time I arrived he was already slumped down in the shower."
Mr Gacquin is the second man to have been killed by wasps this year.
John Butler, from Co Kildare, who had a known allergy to wasp stings, died in July after being stung once after he failed to reach his anti-histamine drugs quickly enough.
An adult of average weight can usually withstand up to 1,000 stings and a child 500, but an allergic reaction to the stings can become life-threatening as the airway closes in and blood pressure drops.
Local Co Roscommon councillor Tony Ward paid his respects to the Gacquin family yesterday and spoke of the man who was his neighbour.
"There has been a dark cloud over the whole parish since the news of Oliver's death broke.
"In my lifetime, there have been a lot of tragedies in the parish but this has been the worst, such was the freak nature of this terrible accident.
"Oliver was a next door neighbour of mine. He was a nice, quiet, decent man."

Club's management
ŠIBENIK FUNCUTI
The Supporters' Association "Šibenik Funcuti" was founded on April 10, 1983, a day after the famous 3rd final match of the former "SFRJ" championship between Šibenik and Bosnia. Šibenka won the game with a score of 83-82 points by Drazen Petrovic from free throws after the time expired.
There was an unprecedented celebration in the city, but the next day, by political order, a decision arrived from Belgrade to annul the match and to play a new one on neutral ground, in Novi Sad. The management and players of KK "Šibenka" make the decision not to travel to the new match, in which they are supported by all Šibenik fans.
It is for this reason that Šibenik's Funcuti were founded, in order to protect the interests of the city of Šibenik and Šibenik sports in an organized manner, and never to repeat the theft that is not remembered in professional sports.
Funcuti are also active on guest appearances where they follow their teams throughout Croatia. It is known that during the former state, Funcuti were one of the first fan groups in general that were visiting abroad. It was in the 80s at the final of the Korać Cup, which was played in Padova between Šibenka and Limoges. Unfortunately, Šibenka did not win the trophy, but Funcuti showed themselves in the fan sense, creating a real Dalmatian atmosphere in the middle of Italy.

Harry Potter: Saga star reveals rape at age 14
📅 August 28, 2020
Former national tennis player Jessie Cave has made a name for herself playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter saga. If the actress thinks she was chosen for the role after making Ruper Grint laugh during her audition, she was hiding behind her beautiful smile a terrible secret. As she just launched the We Can't Talk About Right Now podcast with her sister, Jessie Cave revealed she was raped by her tennis trainer when she was just 14. With an open heart, she explained, "To be fair, yes acne and braces is painful, but I believe rape at 14 is really bad. By your tennis coach, in who you trusted and who was therefore in a position of power … "As she takes things in perspective today, she added:" That's right, I was fine and very good with a ball. tennis. But they took advantage of me anyway. He was sent to jail, so hey, that's it already. "

Bobbi Kristina Brown: the house where Whitney Houston's daughter died put up for sale
Facing her sister, Jessie Cave explained that this rape had completely turned her life upside down: "My rape meant that I had a completely different adolescence from yours, just like my entry into my twenties, because looking back at things in retrospect. , I was still healing and my discovery of sex was completely abnormal compared to yours. I believe that there are still consequences of this period that I did not realize until eighteen years later. " However, the 33-year-old actress considers herself lucky: "In fact, the further time takes me from this drama – and it is going to seem excruciating – the more I feel a little lucky, for several reasons, to have known a rape that didn't destroy me. I think that's something people don't often talk about when it comes to sexual abuse and trauma. "
Jessie Cave is pregnant with her third child
Over time, the young woman managed to move forward and is very happy today. If she is mainly known for her role in the Harry Potter saga, it is with her family that Jessie Cave found her happiness. In a relationship with actor Alfie Brown since January 2014, the actress gave birth to a baby boy named Donnie, in October 2014, before giving birth to a little Margot, in July 2016. In June 2020, the pretty brunette revealed be pregnant with their third child!

It's all about the "winning character"!
Life is a journey but what would take you to the finish line? Life is a quest but what would make you a winner? My bet is that our "character" will draw the line!
Some argue that life is unfair but had it been fair with Job? Some may debate that our "environments" would play a big role but looking at Joseph's life, his "character" played much bigger. You may have a winning case but if your character fails to function well, you will lose along the way.
Yes, it's all about our character! Things may present to us as an astounding surprise or likely expected, but the bottom line is, how much our "winning character" will stand out. We may have a long list of unanswered questions but the truth still lies, how are we going to respond while seeking for the answers?

Diane Haithman contributes to Deadline's TV coverage.
EXCLUSIVE: Crime novelist Michael Connelly has partnered with Fuse Entertainment (The Killing, The Good Guys) and writer-producer Eric Overmyer (HBO's Treme) in hopes of finally bringing his Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch character to series TV. Overmyer has come on to develop and serve as showrunner and lead writer on the prospective series, Connelly told Deadline today. No network or pilot deal is in place. The partnership marks Connelly's first Bosch deal following a legal battle between the author and Paramount over rights to the character. Until 2010, the brooding LAPD homicide detective and protagonist of 15 of Connelly's 20-plus books was tied up in 15 years of development hell at the studio.
Related: Michael Connelly vs Paramount: How Harry Bosch Was Rescued From Hollywood Development Hell
Connelly says the partners first plan to shop the series to cable, and he sees The Killing's serialized story line about a single murder as the model. "The Killing took two years [to solve a case]; we won't do that," Connelly said. "But what we are looking at is using the elements of one, possibly two, books a year, or a season."
Connelly said he has the option of writing one episode per season, but plans to stay out of the writing process for the most part, as he has done when his books are made into movies (recently, The Lincoln Lawyer). "I couldn't find a better writer than Eric Overmyer on TV," Connelly said. "I've been down the Hollywood path a lot, and the conclusion that I've come to is that I should write the best novels I can, take them to Hollywood, and let them take it from there."
Related: Michael Connelly Setting Harry Bosch Crime Series With 'Dragon Tattoo' Producer
Paramount had optioned two Harry Bosch books, Black Ice (1992) and The Black Echo (1993), back in 1995 but never developed either one into a movie. A 15-year option also gave Paramount ownership of the Bosch character so Connelly could not take it elsewhere. In 2010, Connelly sued Paramount to seek accurate accounting of development money spent so he could take advantage of a yearlong window to buy back the rights to Bosch.
The suit was settled in October 2010 and the buy-back window was extended to three years. Connelly then shopped Bosch around and finally bought back rights for an undisclosed amount after forging this new partnership.

President of the United States.
Autograph Letter Signed, A. Lincoln, one page, octavo, April 2, 1862.
"I would suggest that Hon. Stephen T. Logan of Springfield, Illinois, and Col. James Mitchell, of Freehob in the same state, be appointed a commissioner to examine into claims etc. at Cairo — the said commissioners to take the same power as the late commissioners at St. Louis. I would also suggest that John R. Shepley Esq. of St. Louis be selected as alternate to the said commission."
The letter is to Edwin M. Stanton, who was newly appointed (as of mid-January) as Secretary of War, replacing Simon Cameron. The President was in the ninth month of the Civil War. He was troubled by tales of corruption and mismanagement in the War Department combined with a lack of progress on the battlefield to prevent Salmon Chase from raising the funds the Treasury needed to keep the war effort afloat.
In a decision that would prove significant to the course of the war, Abraham Lincoln selected Edwin Stanton, a gruff lawyer whose disparaging remarks about his presidency were well known in Washington circles. Stanton had the energy and force needed to galvanize the War Department; he was also believed to be a steadfast ally in the struggle against slavery.
This letter, in the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. V, speaks to the patronage pressures the President was under from his old Illinois friends. While Lincoln liked to help those who had befriended him along the way, patronage presented a keen test of friendship and politics. There were those who claimed he had forgotten his friends. Others felt the President knew too well the utility of patronage appointments and used them shrewdly.
Stephen Logan, recommended by the President, was a former law partner. He, Mitchell and Shepley were all appointed to the commission to investigate claims at Cairo, Illinois.
The War Claim Commission in Cairo was to look into claims of fraud and speculation at the military depot in Cairo, Illinois, the strategic point where the Ohio River runs into the Mississippi River and a critical junction during the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant, a Colonel in the Twenty-first Illinois Voluntary Regiment, was given charge of the District of Cairo seven months earlier.
At issue was the official conduct of Captain Rueben B. Hatch, quartermaster at Cairo, and brother of Ozias M. Hatch, Illinois Secretary of State and a longtime Lincoln ally. Within six months of his appointment, Hatch was in trouble, charged with fraud and speculation, and was placed under arrest by Grant. He was released from arrest in July 1862 when the War Claims Commission allowed his claims, "the investigation not having established anything of fraud in them." Hatch was restored to duty by Lincoln's order on September 27, 1862.
Fortunes were made as well as lost by the Civil War and mismanagement was not confined to the War Department in Washington. Abraham Lincoln's appointment of Stanton took the Union a long way towards competence but the war was far from over.
An interesting early interaction between Lincoln and Grant, the general who would help him win the Civil War. Lincoln might have left the Cairo investigation to Colonel Grant but chose to appoint his own commission.

Over the past month or so, I've been teaching a series of soup classes at our local senior center. I was honored to be asked back again this year – what a rewarding experience to say the least. The ladies in the class were all so gracious and it was really fun to swap food shopping tips and stories. I didn't have a set menu for any of these classes; instead, I polled the class to see what they wanted to make next. One bowl soup meals seemed to be overwhelmingly the favorite.
One of the soups I made during this soup class series was this Easy Vegetable Bean and Pasta Soup, a bowl of comfort that has all the elements to nourish the body. There are endless possibilities when making soup. Vegetables can easily be added or swapped out. Different beans can be used. Favorite pasta shapes can be added. The base, however, is always consistent. I saute onion, carrot and celery until fragrant, then start adding the other ingredients. The idea behind teaching this soup to the class was to demonstrate that soup is extremely flexible and can provide a complete meal in a short amount of time.
You can cook the pasta directly in the soup or you can simply add some leftover cooked pasta. Just remember to add more liquid (broth or water) if you choose to cook the pasta in the soup.
Today, a group of bloggers is celebrating Severine von Tscharner Fleming, one of the Top 50 Women Game Changers In Food. I had never heard of Severine, but according to Gourmet Live, she is the founder and director of the Greenhorns, whose mission is to recruit, promote, and support young farmers. "The upshot: Nonindustrial farming is fun and it's hip; it's an explosive movement. And this is indubitably a good thing." According to their website, Greenhorns is a land-based non profit serving young farmers across America whose mission is to recruit, support, promote and support young farmers in America.
In addition to creating an interactive map charting farmers under 40, Severine is making ''The Greenhorns,'' a documentary on ''organic entrepreneurs.'' ''I want to show how sweet and honest and brave and purposeful they are,'' she said of her subjects.
I thought this simple soup recipe chock full of farm fresh vegetables was representative of the movement that Severine is spearheading. Served with some whole grain bread topped with fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil, this made a nice satisfying lunch that I think Severine would approve of – I know the ladies in my class did.
Heat oil in a soup pot. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic.
Saute until onions turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add rosemary and thyme and saute another minute.
Add zucchini, beans and broth.
Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in cooked pasta and cook until warmed through.
Add spinach and cook about one minute until just cooked through.
This soup recipe is extremely flexible. Instead of rosemary and thyme, try substituting your favorite herb mix, e.g., Italian seasoning, Herbs de Provence, Fines Herbes. Use whatever beans/lentils and leafy green vegetables you have on hand.
Beautifully inspired post for Severine, Jeanette…this is a beautiful bowl of soup!
It IS the perfect dish to honor farming and fresh ingredients! What a beautiful soup!
Looks wonderful and so hearty!
This looks so wonderful and comforting, Jeanette!
This looks fantastic Jeanette! My kids would love it.
Glad you all like this super easy soup – it's very kid-friendly (my kids had this for lunch one day and extremely versatile.
What a beautiful soup and an easy recipe! This looks wonderful Jeanette. Thank you for sharing!
fabulous! Wish I had this tonight!
This looks so good! I love a good hearty soup! Nice post!
Just the kind of soup I love, easy and full of veggies!
This is a perfect Lent recipe. I am so glad you shared it with us. I bookmarked it for later. The hubby is going to love this one.
I adore vegetable soups like this, and I can only imagine how much fun it is to cook with your seniors class. I'm sure I couldn't resist tossing a parmesan cheese rind into the broth, if I happened to have one in my fridge.
I really have enjoyed teaching these soup classes – love hearing all the stories and tips the group has to share.
Amazing post Jeanette.. the classes must be so much fun, sharing and teaching. I love simple brothy wholesome soups, and this is one perfect base to get creative with.
This looks so hearty – almost like a stew! Very nice Jeanette and I always appreciate simplicity.
Beautiful one bowl soup meal so appropriate for seniors. This is easy to make, versatile and best of all satisfying and comforting, well done.
What a fantastically rewarding thing to due. I just love that you're doing these classes and nourishing not only their bodies but their minds with your healthy recipes.
How interesting to learn about Greenhorns. I just read an article about how farmers are aging and more young farmers are needed to take their place. It's great to hear that an organization like greenhorns exists. The soup looks delicious – a perfect homage.
What a lovely post…and congratulations on being invited back for the classes, how fun 🙂 And this soup is pure comfort and deliciousness!
These classes really are a lot of fun – food really does bring people together.
