The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
I really, really loved HBO's adaptation of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies and wanted to read this in advance of it being adapted for television in the near future. I really thought I read Big Little Lies but having read this Moriarty novel I now doubt that I have. She perfectly combines a thrilling mystery with deep characters we can relate to, all with some of chick-lit themes that make her books really approachable. The Husband's Secret is very good and I ignored all adult responsibilities to read it over the course of a weekend.
The format of the novel will be familiar to you if you watched or read Big Little Lies. There are ~3 main characters, each with their own mini-plots that weave into each other. Each chapter flips between the characters and their stories which is a style I personally love because there really is something for everyone. If you're going through X, you may relate more to character A, etc. I also enjoy the variety.
It seemed that all her vomiting in gutters and crying in pantries had been for show, because as long as nobody else was accused, she would keep his secret. Cecilia Fitzpatrick, who always volunteered first, who never sat quietly when something needed to be done, who always brought casseroles and gave up her time, who knew the difference between right and wrong, was prepared to look the other way. She could and would allow another mother to suffer. Her goodness had limits. She could have easily gone her whole life without knowing those limits, but now she knew exactly where they lay."
The major characters are Cecilia- a pulled together mom, pampered chef consultant, and envy of most of the women in their town, Rachel- a grandmother grieving the loss of her daughter ~25 years earlier who was the victim of a brutal unsolved murder, and Tess- newly moved back to town after her husband revealed he was in love with her cousin and best friend. You get to know their families and really strong narrative style allows you to really get to know each of them. I felt this way about Big Little Lies even just from the show so I'm really eager to read the book now and milk all the details I missed out of Moriarty's writing style.
I really don't want to spoil this plot because I do think it'll be a big hit on television BUT there is a major twist you learn early on and the rest of the book is really about how each of these characters respond to the information or lack thereof. I liked this a lot as opposed to building up a mystery throughout the story because I've always been fascinated with how people cope with change.
There is a LOT of good material in here about both marriage and parenting- my two favourite topics. Each of the plot lines have their own marital tribulations woven through them. What I found predominately is that the book asks over and over again, what are you willing to accept from your spouse? And over and over again it shows that we don't ever really know. We all think we know our limits until we're pushed to them.
They could fall in love with fresh, new people, or they could have the courage and humility to tear off some essential layer of themselves and reveal to each other a whole new level of otherness, a level far beyond what sort of music they liked. It seemed to her everyone had too much self-protective pride to truly strip down to their souls in front of their long-term partners. It was easier to pretend there was nothing more to know, to fall into an easygoing companionship. It was almost embarrassing to be truly intimate with your spouse; how could you watch someone floss one minute, and the next minute share your deepest passion or most ridiculous, trite little fears?"
On the parenting front there are some very difficult plot lines involving the death of children. The ways it was addressed reminded me a lot of Judy Blume's Smart Women in that you see multiple perspectives of how various adults handle the same incident. Near the very beginning we learn Cecilia watched a tiny boy dressed for Halloween step off a curb and get hit by a car a year prior to the story. Throughout, Cecilia becomes a key player in other incidents and she is constantly haunted by the little boy. I love love love this passage where she describes how people reacted on that Halloween:
It was true, perhaps, that ever since that morning last year, she'd been aware of an underlying sense of fragility, a new understanding that a life of coriander and laundry could be stolen in an instant, that your ordinariness could vanish, and suddenly you're a woman on your knees, your face lifted to the sky, and some women are running to help, but others are already averting their heads, with words not articulated, but felt: Don't let this touch me."
The TV adaptation of this book was announced last year but seems not to have developed into much so far besides casting Blake Lively in a leading role. It actually seems like Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers will be produced first.
I really enjoyed this and am eager to continue reading Moriarty's fiction, including going back to Big Little Lies even though I know the plot. I think any woman would enjoy this. Women who typically stick to really basic chick-lit would find this really approachable and women who enjoy more depth to their novels will feel satisfied.

I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever..

Travelers face easy checks
Hong Kong debuted the "Contactless e-Channel" today, a service that complements the existing fingerprint identification system with facial verification technology in some checkpoints.
Starting from December 1, the e-Channel will be available at three border checkpoints, including the airport, Shenzhen Bay control points and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
"This initiative aims to provide faster, more convenient travel and a more hygienic immigration clearance service for residents," said a spokesman for the Immigration Department.
Gavin Ho Ka-wing, assistant director of information systems from the Immigration Department, said the contactless process is more efficient and hygienic as it does not require people to touch the fingerprint scanner.
People using the contactless service will just need to look into the e-Channel's camera and go through a facial verification process.
The process would take around seven seconds, which is one second faster than the fingerprint scanning method.
Ho said the system will not store photos captured when using the e-Channel. "People do not have to be worried" for once they have crossed the channel, the photo will be deleted, he said.
The public can enter the e-Channel through two methods, with a smart identity card or with a QR code.
Once they are inside the e-Channel, they will be required to stand on the footprint marker and look into the camera.
After successful facial verification, they can leave the e-Channel, which means the immigration clearance process is complete.
Only Hong Kong residents aged 18 or above can enroll to use the contactless process with their smart identity card.
They can enroll directly at the e-Channel or in person at four enrollment offices, such as the one at Immigration Headquarters in Wan Chai.
People who enrolled with a smart identity card will have to place their identity card onto the optical reader or insert the card into the card reader to enter the e-Channel.
For Hong Kong residents aged 11 or above who would like to enter the e-Channel with a QR code, they have to download two mobile applications - Contactless e-Channel and iAM Smart - for enrollment.
Teenagers aged from 11 to 17 must enroll with the consent of their parents or legal guardian.
Enrolled residents can enter the e-Channel by presenting the QR code from the Contactless e-Channel mobile application to a QR code reader.
The Immigration Department said the accuracy of facial recognition is rated at over 99 percent.
Residents can continue to use fingerprint verification for immigration clearance. Enrolled Hong Kong residents can also cancel their enrollment free of charge.

It was back in the forties, when my grandfather decided to open a small restaurant a few steps away from the historic centre of Naples.
He called it La Falena because he had always been impressed by the way moths were attracted to the light at night. He liked the idea of creating a location to attract people who might be looking for shelter or for safety.
You will immediately notice that la Falena is not just a simple restaurant. The atmosphere is elegant and modern while the spirit has remained that of an earlier era.
You will be welcomed by our courteous and ever smiling staff and taste the delicious typical dishes of Neapolitan tradition prepared by our chefs and on occasion, attend evenings of music and live shows.
In short, we are Neapolitans who know how to enjoy themselves and eat well. Consequently we are only waiting for you to come and visit us so we may make your stay in Naples even more amazing.

Michigan Supreme Court passes on clerk dispute in Oakley
Minutes of meeting were changed, justices say clerk isn't part of village board, so she's not liable
Michigan Supreme Court passes on clerk dispute in Oakley Minutes of meeting were changed, justices say clerk isn't part of village board, so she's not liable Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/26ry1LV
AP Published 12:08 p.m. ET April 26, 2016
Oakley — After hearing arguments, the Michigan Supreme Court won't step into a dispute over whether a village clerk can be sued under the state's open meetings law.
The court issued an order Monday. It means an appeals court decision in favor of Cheryl Bolf will stand.
The Oakley village clerk was sued after changes were made to the official minutes of a 2012 village trustees meeting. The open meetings law says a public official who intentionally violates the law shall be held personally liable.
But a Saginaw County judge and the appeals court say Bolf doesn't meet the definition because she's not a member of the village board.
In dissent, Supreme Court justices Richard Bernstein and Stephen Markman say the village clerk is a public official under the open meetings law.

18957101911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 5 — Canandaigua
CANANDAIGUA, a village and the county-seat of Ontario county, New York, U.S.A., 30 m. S.E. of Rochester. Pop. (1890) 5868; (1900) 6151; (1910) 7217. It is served by the New York Central and Hudson River, and the Northern Central (Pennsylvania system) railways, and is connected with Rochester by an inter-urban electric line. Among the manufactures are pressed bricks, tile, beer, ploughs, flour, agate and tin-ware. The village, picturesquely situated at the north end of Canandaigua Lake, a beautiful sheet of water about 15 m. long with a breadth varying from a mile to a mile and a half, is a summer resort. It has a county court house; the Canandaigua hospital of physicians and surgeons; the Frederick Ferris Thompson memorial hospital, with a bacteriological laboratory supported by the county; the Clark Manor House (a county home for the aged), given by Mrs Frederick Ferris Thompson in memory of her mother and of her father, Myron Holley Clark (1806–1892), president of the village of Canandaigua in 1850–1851 and governor of New York in 1855–1857; the Ontario Orphan Asylum; Canandaigua Academy; Granger Place school for girls; Brigham Hall (a private sanatorium for nervous and mental diseases); Young Men's Christian Association building (1905); and two libraries, the Wood (public) library and the Union School library, founded in 1795. There is a public playground in the village with free instruction by a physical director; and a swimming school, endowed by Mrs F. F. Thompson, gives free lessons in swimming. The village owns its water-supply system. A village of the Seneca Indians, near the present Canandaigua, bearing the same name, which means "a settlement was formerly there" (not, as Lewis Morgan thought, "chosen spot"), was destroyed by Gen. John Sullivan in 1779. There are boulder memorials of Sullivan's expedition and of the treaty signed here on the 11th of November 1794 by Timothy Pickering, on behalf of the United States with the Six Nations—a treaty never ratified by the Senate. Canandaigua was settled in 1789 and was first incorporated in 1812.

THE BEST CITIES TO VISIT IN TURKEY
Generally lasting from 3 to 6 days, city breaks are an attractive niche of travel. The benefits of visiting bustling hubs of the world, is mainly that everything is in one place, including history, culture, food, and relaxation. Most of the cities to visit in Turkey offer all this and much more. Each is distinctively different, with an interesting story to tell, stemming from the country's vibrant historical timeline under the rule of many different empires.
Some cities are cosmopolitan, embracing the best of the middle and eastern worlds while others are conservative, adhering to the Islamic background of the country. In recent years, the Turkish government invested billions into upgrading the infrastructure of its cities, so not only, does this make them easy to get to, via road or air, but quality accommodation and helping tourists to get around are top priorities.
Our Recommended Cities to Visit in Turkey
1: The Old and New of Istanbul
Of course, the first city to visit must be Istanbul. Reflecting modern-day times, it also harks back to the days of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires as seen in the historical landmarks of the Sultan Ahmet district. Buildings such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace are some of the most visited tourist attractions in the country, although heading over the Golden Horn, visitors receive a taste of everything new and modern through the vibrant nightlife and shopping scenes of Taksim and Beyoglu.
2: Bodrum Port City
The main port city and hub of the peninsula with the same name is one of the smaller cities in Turkey. It is a refreshing and delightful change from the hustle and bustle of bigger metropolises. The big advantage to staying in Bodrum city is the frequent bus services to all the surrounding coastal resorts of the peninsula. Otherwise, within the city, the main attractions are the castle and underwater museums. Bodrum city is also a primary hub of the Turkish Riviera and indulging in a four-night gulet trip, particularly appeals to couples.
3: Antalya in Mediterranean Turkey
The Antalya stretch of coastline includes many small coastal resorts and the main city center. As well as offering great shopping opportunities and a vibrant nightlife scene, city- breakers enjoy exploring the Kaleici district that is the Turkish name for the old town. Cobbled streets lined with old Ottoman and Greek mansions are now establishments for boutique hotels and restaurants. Many attractions are nearby including the Konyaalti and Lara beaches, Archaeology Museum, and Aquarium.
4: Alanya
Sitting at the eastern tip of the Mediterranean coast, Alanya is a bustling hub of tourism most noted for the beautiful Cleopatra's beach and Dim Cave, the second-largest in Turkey. Koprulu national park is close by, particularly delighting nature lovers however within the city center are landmarks attractions like the red tower, castle, and museums. Ideally, four days is enough to explore Alanya however, if you stay longer, also book a trip on a traditional Turkish gulet boat.
5: Fethiye in Mediterranean Turkey
Fethiye is a bustling city for three main reasons. As a center of excellence on the Turkish Riviera, sailing in the area is a profitable trade as is tourism, especially among British people. Many tourists have also become ex-pats, lured in by low property prices. The city center museum, small amphitheater and Lycian rock tombs overlooking the area should be explored first but other major attractions such as the Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz, Saklikent gorge, and Kayakoy Ghost Village are also close by.
6: Izmir: The Third Largest City in Turkey
If you don't mind crowds, Izmir is a good choice if you want to look at the lifestyle of westernized, cosmopolitan Turks. Attractions within the city center include the Konak tower area, the old part of the city, the ancient agora, and the Kadifkale (castle) portraying a spectacular view over the peninsula.
Izmir Wildlife Park on the outskirts is an impressive collection of mammals and reptiles, otherwise also explores the small coastal resorts of the Izmir Peninsula including Cesme and Alacati, two old Greek villages renowned for windsurfing.
7: Trabzon in North East Turkey
Middle Eastern nationalities have taken a keen interest in Trabzon in recent years. Some come to see tourist attractions such as Sumela Monastery on the outskirts, while others have invested in the cheap property because of the huge potential for a lucrative return on investment. Trabzon is also a great starting base to explore attractions of the Northeast including Ayder Plateau, Uzungol, and the neighboring city of Rize, the tea capital of Turkey.
8: Kars in Eastern Turkey
If you are an independent traveler, veering off the path of mainstream tourism to visit Kars is worth it for two reasons. The old district of the city portrays impressive Russian architecture stemming from the era when they ruled the region. However, most people hire a guide for the day and head to the outskirts of the area to visit Ani, the city of 1001 churches. The forgotten Armenian capital of the Bagratid kingdom is home to ruined churches and the impressive Fethiye cathedral with its conical roof.
9: Conservative Konya
Heading over to the central Anatolian region of Konya, anyone interested in philosophy will adore this city. Home to the ancient Sufi philosopher Rumi, and as center of the whirling dervishes' sect of Islam, visitors tour his tomb and museum to learn more about his life. Most people stop by Konya on their way to or from, the Cappadocia region, the third most popular holiday destination in the country.
10: Kayseri
Also sitting on the outskirts of the central Anatolian region, Kayseri is famous for two reasons, and both are food. Locals say, the best Manti, a steamed, stuffed pastry comes from here, and wandering the city streets reveals a deep fondness for Pastirma, air-dried cured beef, as seen in the many shops selling it. As well as touring the castle district, there are some old tombs scattered throughout the heart of the old city part. Many people who are traveling to Cappadocia via Kayseri airport, stop overnight in the city and get a bird's eye view from the rooftop of the Hilton hotel.
11: Bursa: It's Not Just About Skiing
Bursa's skiing resorts have always been the reason to go there, but in recent years, it is another city garnering mass interest from middle eastern nationalities, because of low property prices. Delightful attractions in the old part of the city include the Ulu Mosque, the Museum and the old Ottoman houses of the Hisar district. The Cekirge area is also one of the country's famous spa regions.
12: Amasya
On the surface, Amasya may seem like a conservative town, yet in the old district, a few bars and clubs advertise live music, and many restaurants advertise Turkish menus. The ancient tombs of the Pontic kings in Amasya belong to the UNESCO World Heritage list, center but there is much more to see including old mosques and plenty of museums. Foreign tourists tend to come here on tour buses rather than independently, and they are still vastly outweighed by Turkish tourists
13: Kusadasi
As one of the smaller cities of Turkey, Kusadasi maintains a touristic appeal, despite the hustle and bustle of traffic, especially in the center. It makes a lot of trade from cruise ships that dock in to take passengers to the nearby, popular tourist attraction of Ephesus. All-inclusive hotels on the outskirts also include the aqua fantasy water park. Devoid of the common trap falls of city status, Kusadasi is another popular tourist destination and one of the quieter cities to visit in Turkey.
14: Ankara: The Capital of Turkey
Let's not forget Ankara, the second-biggest metropolis. Although it is well known for its shopping and nightlife scenes, most foreigners visit to see the memorial tomb of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern-day Turkish Republic. Ankara is also a center of excellence for arts, and theaters often showcase the latest drama, ballet, and opera performances.

The other day, we learned that the game up in Providence will be January 20 at 5PM while the meeting with Creighton out at Omaha will be on February 14 at 9PM. The Xavier home game is the remaining one to reschedule.
Georgetown's schedule, with at least 19 games (fingers crossed), currently looks like this:

January 13, 2022 (Thursday)	7 p.m. Home	Butler	Capital One Arena

The BIG EAST Conference has been trying to reschedule games in chronological order for each team, so there is still plenty of optimism that the home game against Xavier will be rescheduled, as well.
The question will be, when will they be rescheduled and how might the inevitable short rest affect Georgetown and their BIG EAST foes down the stretch.
Georgetown up to 10 games in February with this makeup thrown into the mix.
Hoyas will play Saturday/Monday/Thursday/Sunday from the 19th to the 27th. https://t.co/GfMMCEwqfI
— Patrick Stevens (@D1scourse) January 4, 2022
We've already discussed that a potential disadvantage of the rescheduling is that Georgetown will now face Creighton in back-to-back home and away games on Saturday, February 12th (D.C.) and Monday, 14th (Omaha).
Now, the biggest gap of days (5) between games comes February 1-6 between home games against Seton Hall and Providence. There is a 4 day stretch between visiting UConn on January 25 and visitng Butler on January 29, but squeezing a game there seems unlikely.
Press release from GU Hoyas:
BIG EAST Announces Rescheduled Georgetown vs. St. John's MBB Game
WASHINGTON – The BIG EAST Conference has announced the rescheduling of the Georgetown vs. St. John's men's basketball game. The game could not be played on the original date due to COVID-19 issues.
Georgetown vs. St. John's – Monday, February 21, 7 p.m. ET, TV: FS1
(originally scheduled on January 1)
Ticket details will be announced in February.
Georgetown is having a media availability tomorrow.
That would seem like a good sign ahead of Friday's scheduled game with Marquette.
Hoyas (6-5) last played on Dec 18, having four games postponed.

The Nitrylon™ is a durable exterior cover that is more abrasion resistant than PVC, and the interior of the Innova Sunny inflatable kayak has been redesigned using Lite-Pack. This new interior is comfortable next to bare skin and is 12% lighter making the kayak more compact. It's so light it can be taken on trips all over the world. At just 29 pounds, you won't find a more rugged yet featherweight 2-person kayak on the market.
Also new for 2009, Innova has configured it with three sets of D-rings to permit better seating for the solo paddler, who can now be positioned in the middle rather than sit at the rear and have to load ballast in the front. The open cockpit allows the solo paddler to have extra space for fishing tackle, supplies, or a dog.
As a bonus, each Innova inflatable kayak comes with its own waterproof drybag/backpack which can double as a gear bag while in the boat. Many river campers also find their Sunny doubles as a comfortable air mattress to sleep in.
In terms of speed, the Innova Sunny inflatable kayak is among the fastest recreational touring inflatables under $1000, just behind the Aire Tributary Sawtooth which is considered by some reviewers to be the swiftest.
For portability, the Innova Sunny is compact and lightweight at 29 pounds compared to a similar competitor, the $800 Advanced Elements StraightEdge 2, which is likewise 13' in length but weighs a hefty 47 pounds. If you need to portage a tandem inflatable kayak on a weekend jaunt, you are going to prefer the Sunny over the StraightEdge 2.
As for comparing it to its Innova siblings, particularly the Helios II, the Sunny is more stable and less prone to weathercocking as long as the metal skeg tracking fin is attached. Its open kayak design allows the Sunny to carry more gear than the decked Helios II, although neither tandem kayak is very well suited for a weeklong backcountry trip, unless you and your partner plan to rough it with very little gear. Ideally, the Innova Sunny works best as a daytripper for two people, or for week-long trips for a solo paddler.
The Innova Sunny is a great kayak for the money and will last you for 10 to 15 years, perhaps much longer if you take proper care of it with regular use of a cleaner, such as 303 Protectant. Not that it needs any more great selling points, but you'll find that when it comes time to clean it and pack it away, the Sunny is superior to other inflatables you have owned, since it is easier to dry out than kayaks with a bladder-in-skin design.
Reviewers love everything about the Sunny: tracking, inflating time, comfort, maneuvering, quality, and capacity. The Innova Sunny inflatable kayak continues to receive high marks since its debut in 2001, and it is recommended for its outstanding value even with its slightly higher price. It's one of our favorites too.


Amongst BrightonSEO attendees, this is probably common knowledge, but "UserID" as a term is often used as shorthand in the analytics world for "the process of stitching together user interactions through logged-in status across multiple platforms". There may be other variants and slight discrepancies, but the premise is to track users across devices (and potentially platforms, more of that later) to inform marketing, product and tech functions within an organisation. The caveat to UserID is its syntax requirements. It requires a login/consistently hashed uniquely identifiable value that is carried across all devices/platforms you wish to track.
Understanding users interactions across devices, outside of a backend database, has always been a question for eCommerce businesses – but that is changing with the user of UserID. User journeys can be collated and segmented to offer a wealth of insight and understanding of different personas and habits. Generating insights that can be transformed directly into actions is made simple; in the shape of re-attributing marketing spend, CRM frequency and brand messaging is possible through connected marketing platforms provides marketers with the ability to push and pull data-driven levers faster than ever before.
There are a number of different ways to implement this – but by far the easiest and most practical is through the use of Google Analytics (GA) or GA360. These platforms offer a straightforward connection to Google Tag Manager (GTM), a small change to the setup of the GA tags in use, and within 15 minutes you can be ready to track. The benefits of this feature in GA360 then become clear – the ability to identify conversion rate by user device paths and the cross-device mix used by your traffic.
Implementing this kind of system is not always so straightforward. There are requirements for a hashed login system, for example. And a consistent array value which can be pushed to Google Analytics across the user journey; if this is not available consistently, a cookie can be set and stitch data together upon login occurring.
There are still difficulties though. Joining users across devices has become less difficult with UserID, but what about platforms? That is still a black box for web analytics. It is possible to do, and with some new features being utilised in GA360 it can even be pushed into a single property, but not with the free version.
It seems that Google have thought about the cross device issue, but failed to recognise the cross-platform issue – particularly between mobile web and mobile app. There are significant numbers of companies utilising native app features in addition to a mobile web app-wrapped payment page due to payment provider restrictions, for example. In this instance, the journey breaks and it becomes a manual process to understand user behaviour.
Future uses of this include the idea of predictive modelling combined marketing channel and device/platform data – whilst we currently have the ability to seek out which channels are best to use, we are not shown the device level this relates to. Allowing marketers and analysts to position this data alongside each other provides the foundation for analytics to catch up to media and ad servers by delivering data-driven media campaigns. With the connections that can be made between analytics and media platforms currently, this type of deliverable (Adwords has mobile/tablet/desktop bidding and time of day) connection is a marketer's dream.
Other potential uses of UserID functionality include personalised bidding levels – if a user group is identified to be lower value, those IDs can be passed into ad servers, or even paid search tools in the future, and weighted accordingly. Connecting users by UserID from off-site through to on-site and ensuring the experience is consistent has shown in a number of tests to be a very powerful conversion tactic – expect to see this grow.
Ultimately, UserID is one advancement in the charge by vendors, clients and agencies alike to be able to produce a more holistic assessment, and an understanding of exactly how users would like to be able to interact with the brand. This data is rich in behavioural insight, allowing analysts to create models that determine the most efficient marketing models to be following. It is not a complete feature yet, and it is certain that the vendors in the space are looking to provide more comprehensive solutions as marketer's appetites grow.

Grants aim to replenish threatened Indigenous food systems in B.C.
The grants range from $100 to $10,000 and cover activities such as creating food or medicine gardens,
By Katłįa (Catherine) Lafferty, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Kati George-Jim carries teachings about the relational cycles of ecosystems, passed on to her by one of her many women.
The T'suk woman speaks of how salmon are nurtured by natural water systems — when fish bones are left on the side of the beach, animals are able to feed off that same nutrition.
Bears and other animals then expel that waste, which nurtures other relatives on the floor of the forest, and helps plants grow which are then harvested from the land.
It's one of many teachings that are key to understanding Indigenous food systems in the territories they serve, Jim says.
"Those teachings, that language and the relationship to nutrition all comes back to food," she says. "Whether it's feeding us or feeding ecosystems, it's important to understand that relationship."
George-Jim has ancestry from both her parents stemming from the southern part of so-called Vancouver Island, T'Sou-ke and W̱SANEĆ Territories. She says she was raised to acknowledge jurisdictions outside of those boundaries which is why she she uses the more territory-based word T'suk.
She is currently the community liaison Initiative lead of ŚW̱,ȻENEṈITEL Indigenous Food Systems Initiative, a First Nations-led program focused on sustaining local traditional foods.
ŚW̱,ȻENEṈITEL recently put out a call for spring grant applications for projects involving local Indigenous food and knowledge systems on Lekwungen, W̱SANEĆ, T'suk and Pacheedaht territories.
The grants range from $100 to $10,000 and cover activities such as creating food or medicine gardens, providing nutritional education, removing invasive species, providing traditional food for entire communities, and land restoration.
This year, the Initiative has created four themed categories for proposals: Fill Your Basket & Community Harvest Maintenance & Restoration Storytelling and Transformation & Transition.
"For us as Indigenous peoples, it all comes back to the land itself and the land, as we know, reflects our economy," says George-Jim, who has worked with the initiative since 2019.
"When we have sustenance, that comes from ensuring that we have abundance. We have the land management and the laws that ensure the longevity of the land and who we are."
The initiative initially started with the intention of wanting to do things differently — granting projects from inside the communities instead of through outside agencies. Many times, external bodies that provide funding don't actually address the root of the problem, George-Jim says.
There are philanthropic foundations and charities that are starting to take steps towards having different relationships with Indigenous Peoples on the receiving end of grants, explains George-Jim, "but as we know, alot of diversity and inclusion strategies still don't talk about the root."
George-Jim explains that ŚW̱,ȻENEṈITEL is unique as a place-based program, because it's about how Indigenous leaders can move between the spaces and boundaries that have been put up around them.
She says the grants are about direct relationships and working together to care for communities, the land, and future generations.
"It's actually working with communities (through) community partnerships," she says.
The work of the initiative is about self-determination. This is done by creating space and resources for funders to come to the understanding of how the initiatives need to be met — with an Indigenous-led focus, says George-Jim.
The Initiative is now at a place where the funders don't want to speak on behalf of communities and instead want to act as a facilitator for change, she adds.
"The work of our own people and communities often does not fit into a program or into a funding stream," she says.
The grants aren't just about food sovereignty, but also incorporate language, culture and family structures.
"We are interdependent on each other," says George-Jim.
"We can and have always been self-sufficient, and our wealth is seen as how we take care of the land and how we give back to the land versus … wealth, in the view of a foreign economy to these territories, is seen as how much can be extracted."
George-Jim speaks to the legacy of colonialism in the changing landscape through agriculture and the displacement of Indigenous peoples through colonialism, including residential schools, reserve systems, and more.
"If we really want to tackle systemic issues, we need to talk about what is literally rooted here," she says, adding that, "it's all of our responsibility to remove the conditions of colonialism from these territories in order to restore balance to our food systems and our ways of being as local Indigenous people."
People from Lekwungen, W̱SANEĆ, Tsuk, and Pacheedaht territories can apply for grants either through a written or oral application by Feb. 25.

Clients seeking alternative means to fund private education fees
The fees charged by independent day schools are outpacing the rise in professional salaries, according to Killik & Co's latest research.
The Killik Private Education Index report revealed that the average cost of a year at private school is now £15,000, up 3% from 2015. In total, the cost of a 14-year education from reception through to upper sixth form has risen by 15% over the same four year period to a staggering £325,600.
According to the investment house, independent day school fees are now more than five times the average in 1990.
The increase in school fees has outpaced the rise in professional wages, with education costs representing an ever higher percentage of disposable income. Annual schooling costs, including extras, account for as much as 39% of a doctor's disposable income and 65% of an accountant's.
In an effort to curb costs, some parents are opting to send their children to a state primary school before moving into a private secondary school. Choosing to hold off from sending a child to private school until age 8 or 11 could lead to savings of £63,500 and £117,900 respectively.
Svenja Keller, head of wealth planning, Killik & Co., said: "The rising cost of fees is a concern for many UK parents. Even for those parents with established professional careers, our findings show the need for a plan to meet the ever-increasing costs of funding the private education of their child or children.
"Critically, a financial plan is needed to assess what is manageable with a family's available finances and what is best suited for each child's needs.
"We believe that if you have a plan and start to think about it early, it can be achievable. Despite the cost, education can still provide an excellent investment. The most important thing is to make sure that you know what your priorities are, so that your child's schooling is factored into a balanced plan alongside all your financial goals."

Six-man football season in Outlook draws closer
Another school year has started back up, and with it comes another season of high school football in Outlook.
Derek Ruttle
Sep 9, 2021 4:05 PM
Unfortunately, there is no LCBI Bisons roster in the 2021 season.Derek Ruttle
Although history has shown that Outlook has had two teams to cheer on, the Blues from Outlook High School and the Bisons from LCBI, that won't be the case in the 2021 season. There was not enough interest on the LCBI side of things to draw together their own team, so instead, interested players will now join the OHS roster across town, making for a combined roster that joins the two schools together out on the field.
The Blues football team this year is coached by Lloyd Tulp and the roster got things underway with their first practice on August 25. The team will hope to get their game together by the time the season begins, with the Conference 6 games beginning on Thursday, September 9. This year, Outlook plays alongside teams from Clavet, Biggar, Plenty, and Rosetown, and for the hometown Blues, the action starts on Friday, September 24 when the team plays host to Rosetown starting at 4:00.
The Blues will then play host once again a week later on October 1 against Biggar, and then venturing to Plenty the following Friday on October 8 for an away game.
In other football news in town, Outlook Minor Sports is starting up a flag football program offered to kids who will be five years old and up before January 1, 2022.
The program will consist of small teams with kids grouped into similar ages and will be kept at a local level to start, though a few games may be played if there are other teams around and there is sufficient interest. The deadline to register kids for the program is September 3 at a cost of $50.

This I haven't seen or read, because it's not out yet, but should be interesting. I've heard of funder the Farah Foundation, and Fr. McGuckin, an Orthodox writer and church historian … but I don't know a whole lot about either the Foundation or Father. "Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer": Is that like the old A&E's Mysteries of the Bible ? 😉 Could we look for a cable series?
So, I guess at this point this is just an FYI.
What's a Patriarch?

The election just announced ("Новым Патриархом стал митрополит Кирилл" — with an icon streaming myrrh right there in the church in Moscow! More here and here temporarily. Good short biography here.) of a new Patriarch for around half of the world's quarter-billion or more Eastern Orthodox Christians (after the repose last month of His Holiness Patriarch ALEXEI II of Moscow, All Rus, "and the Far North" as it was classically described at least once) — Metropolitan KYRILL of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, Russia, widely considered the "frontrunner" (God grant you Many Years, Your Holiness!) — might raise the question of what an Orthodox Patriarch actually is.
And myself coming from a Latin background and living in the West, addressing mostly others living in the West, in English, very familiar with the Pope of Rome — if you'll permit me, I'll start off by saying that an Orthodox Patriarch is not normally a "little Pope" whose word is law among those whose Patriarch he is. Although like all Orthodox Bishops he is officially a leading teacher of Orthodoxy, he does not "develop doctrine," alone or with anybody else, but merely teaches together with his brother Bishops "that which was handed down from the Apostles," ie, Holy Tradition (traditio, handing down), including Holy Scripture.
The Orthodox Church is organized into clusters of dioceses, a Tradition established after the First Ecumenical Synod aka the Council of Nicea in AD 325. No Orthodox Bishop in communion with The Orthodox Church stands alone, but with his brother Bishops, normally on a geographic basis. (The best comparison for our purposes might be the Anglican Communion's normative structure, with separate Church Provinces in different countries or regions, each led by its bishops collectively as equals, based on this tradition.) Such a cluster might be called an ecclesiastical province, a catholicosate (historically), a patriarchate, or other terms such as National Church, Local Church (with a big-L and a big-C), jurisdiction, or simply Church. And some of these may be 'clusters of clusters.'
Normally the Ruling Hierarch of the political capital, largest city, or leading diocese, serves as ex officio chairman of the Bishops of that cluster of dioceses — First Among Equals — as well as overseeing its central administrative offices and functionaries, providing stability and focus for the whole Church in that cluster. Traditionally his diocese was called that cluster's metropolis, and he, its Metropolitan, or Metropolitan Archbishop. Today some are instead called Archbishop, primate, or Patriarch.* In a cluster of clusters, still one of the primates is traditionally ex officio presiding bishop of the whole, with seniority over fellow Bishops of equal rank … although often in such a case the chief bishop is titled Patriarch, so it's clear. Orthodox have never recognized any Bishop with greater seniority than a patriarch, and maintain the ancient dictum, "A patriarch never submits to another patriarch," but takes his turn in the traditional established order of seniority even among patriarchs, as an equal.
(This, naturally, is the [big-T] Traditional problem — ecclesiopolitically if you will — with the claim of the Patriarch of Rome to jurisdiction over other Patriarchs, even back when he was First Among Equal Patriarchs. "Pope" was never recognized as a rank higher than Patriarch outside the Western Patriarchate; in fact, Christendom's other Pope, he of Alexandria, Egypt — no unimportant city in the Roman Empire or the later Church — has never aspired to what Orthodox have come to call papalism, that universal, immediate, ordinary, supreme, full jurisdiction over every Christian, asserted by Rome. Nevermind all the other problems with Rome's claims, which are not the topic of this post! BTW, Orthodox Bishops have differing titles, "ranks," and seniority, only for purposes of order, honor to the dioceses they lead, and varying responsibilities. That is to say, at every meeting of them their speaking order and chairmanship is predetermined, with the aim of making things run smoother than otherwise; also who presides at a Liturgy with more than one Bishop present. And a Bishop's basic responsibilities may be as an auxiliary bishop, or else a Ruling Hierarch, which latter may along with that serve as provincial primate, or primate of a cluster of provinces.)
Today 9 of Orthodoxy's local primates are Patriarchs, those of Constantinople (Istanbul), Alexandria, Antioch (resident in Damascus), Jerusalem, Moscow, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Georgia (this last titled Catholicos-Patriarch). Each is the lead Bishop for Orthodox in the area around his city or country, and some also elsewhere because of 20th-century expansion in Orthodox evangelization and mass migration. As such, a Patriarch's (or other primate's) exact responsibilities vary from place to place. Besides administering his own diocese, chairing local meetings of synods and councils of Bishops and other churchmen and -women, and overseeing central Church administration and institutions, he often visits throughout his Local Church and other Local Orthodox Churches to maintain ties of fellowship / communion (Greek koinonia) in person, serves high-profile Liturgies, preaches, writes, advocates for public wellbeing and improvement and traditional, Orthodox-influenced culture(s), meets with governmental and non-Orthodox religious leaders, provides overall leadership in his Church, leads in the Church teaching and formation of young people and future churchpeople, and overall tries to help his people be saved…. In short, it's the work of any Orthodox Bishop, 'writ large' if you will. But normally in a far more collaborative spirit than many Westerners might expect considering Orthodoxy's 'oldness' and 'conservatism,' "long beards, robes, and services," headscarves (often), lack of "praise bands," dearth of agitation, exhortations to piety and humility, 'cloistered' or semi-cloistered monasticism….
It's a commonplace in the field of Church History that a Bishop's "job one" was to ensure the unity of his local flock, protecting it from the divisions of heresy and schism. A Patriarch's (or other primate's), then, is to also ensure the unity of his Patriarchate or Province. This is similar to the role of ruling bishops and primates in other Churches similarly structured, such as Anglicanism, Catholicism (Western and Eastern, papal and "independent"), the Oriental Churches (ie, Coptic, Ethiopian, Syriac, Armenian, Asian Indian, etc.), and the Assyrian Church. In this way, it's not unique to Orthodoxy. Even the title of Patriarch is used by other "Eastern" Churches besides us.
And why the title Patriarch? Really, Patriarch is 'just' a primate and Local Church granted more honor and seniority by the Church, for whatever reasons. It's not strictly theological or 'necessary.' All Orthodox Churches are equal. Another irony is that Pope Benedict XVI of Rome the other year dropped the one of his many historic titles — Patriarch of the West — that o/Orthodox Tradition can theoretically deal with!
Also, a Patriarch (or Primate, or any Bishop ideally) is revered by Orthodox Tradition as a sacrament, symbol, sacred embodiment of his Church, hence their vestments and their hand-kissing by laity. He is in a sense the father of his Church; episcopal consecration is part of the "Mystery" of Holy Orders, after all. The ultimate 'icon' of a Church is its primate presiding over Divine Liturgy alongside his clergy, surrounded by the faithful. After all, it's not just about pushing pencils!
(*–BTW, an Orthodox Patriarchate is not in the first place what feminist theorists refer to as a patriarchal structure. In Orthodox usage the word patriarch derives not from Greek words for father-ruler, but country-ruler [in broad and religious senses] … patria as fatherland or motherland, meaning simply a sizeable territory.)

Strong Safety Troy Polamalu spoke with Yahoo Sports last fall about life, the universe, and everything, including his faith, Orthodoxy, which seems very important to him since converting a few years ago. They even named their son, born this October, Paisios! (If the Yahoo link breaks, you might find the interview here, or here [That's right, use for a search term the most unlikely phrase in the copy!].)
Like Polamalu, I can attest the helpfulness of having weekday Liturgies available. He and his wife are in the habit of going every Tuesday to a Greek Orthodox women's monastery – Nativity of the Theotokos – an hour north of Pittsburgh; and sometimes my health permits me to attend during the week at St. Tikhon's Monastery 3 hours north of Philly (five, the way I travel).
Jerusalem Patriarchate in U.S. merging into Greek Archdiocese

This news release from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople) announces a recent agreement between the Jerusalem and Constantinople Patriarchates ceding the JP's claims of jurisdiction in the United States to the latter. Its parishes here will form a vicariate directly under the jurisdiction of the Greek Archbishop of America, seemingly similar in many ways to Constantinople's other non-Greek groups here, but without the status of a diocese or full "jurisdiction" of its own like them. As they highlight that this will have the effect of bringing the JP's Church here under the SCOBA umbrella (but without distinct representation on SCOBA), that will leave only the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) apart from it, among "canonical" Orthodox jurisdictions based here in the States.
Orthodoxwiki discusses the JP here, on this page, and links to a new page of theirs about the new Vicariate.* A couple years ago I thought I read that, objecting to talk of the GOA absorbing breakaway Antiochian parishes (as discussed on Orthodoxwiki), the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America temporarily put the breaks on SCOBA Primates' meetings. But I lack complete information on this point. SCOBA meetings have resumed since that time.
I have also read that the GOA does include a handful of parishes defined by Orthodox ethnicity other than Greek, including Romanian. I don't know the history there either.
(*–The small Belarusan "Council" of parishes that Orthodoxwiki continues to list in the present tense disappeared from GOA/EP information products – website, printed directory – some time in the last couple years. I don't know what happened to them, if anything.)

Q: How to create custom middleware in reactjs to update reducer? I want to update reducer when api sends response with updated token.
I have tried dispatching action from middleware but reducer is resetting to its initial state.

A: when you reloading one of the component of your app its like you have a new app so whole app will mount and render. every component will mount so the state in reducer will reset too
you have to save that token you get from api in local Storage then in the root component of you app in the componentDidMount() you should dispatch an action and you have get that token you got in local Storage and save it in reducer state this way you always have that token in the reducer state

This really pushes all my buttons. Give me this and leave me to die.
In Western Turkey it is known as acuka (pron: a-joo-ka) but the further south you go, especially to the southeast, it becomes muhammara. I love the sound of that. It originates from Aleppo in Syria.
Forget sweet jams or weetabix or cheerios for this is a typical Turkish breakfast spread that you put on bread. It is delicious beyond belief. But interestingly enough, TT doesn't know it and today I was with my English friends all of whom have been here a long time, and they didn't know about it either. I really can't explain why we don't know.
I have been on the track of acuka for a few weeks now, ever since discovering a little pot of it at a local supermarket, albeit an upmarket one, Nezih Gürme Market, here in Selami Çeşme in Istanbul. It was called Ev Acukası/home acuka. I bought it unhesitatingly and it was devoured within days. It is fabulous but the thought crossed my mind that I could probably make it myself as I read what the ingredients were. So I sat down at the computer and discovered that yes, there are lots of recipes out there. I carefully deliberated, compared, and finally chose to try this one from the blog New York's Delight as it sounded very authentic. I wasn't disappointed. Try it and I think you will agree.
I am thrilled with the result! It is one of the best tastes that I have enjoyed for a very long time!
· Put pepper and tomato pastes, bread crumbs or bulgur, crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt into a mixing bowl.
· Heat frying pan and gently toast chopped walnuts for a few minutes. This releases their natural oils and gives the dish additional flavour. Add to mixture.
· In the same frying pan, heat and toast the spices for a few minutes. Add to to the mixture. Mix well.
· If you need a little more salt, add a bit more. If you want the dish to be a bit more garlicky, add another clove of garlic. The garlic is what really adds to the taste of this dish.
· Mix everything well together and serve either with bread as a spread or with crackers as a dip. I must say, in Turkey it would be with bread as the idea of dips is not common.
Consistency is up to you. TT and I prefer chunky but you may like it smoother. In that case, blitz those walnuts till they are finer.
1. I don't know how easy it is to find pepper paste outside Turkey. If you can't, I would suggest making up the amount with the very best tomato paste that you can find.
2. All the spices are also arbitrary. I made my acuka today using exactly the measurements specified above and we found the result absolutely scrumptious!
I know I can't pronounce it but I would definitely like to try this yummy spread!Have a lovely evening,Claudia!
Oh this is definitely one that I'm going to try!
Oh, yum! And you've saved me some researching work. My neighbor brought us a plate of something very much like this (she's from Gaziantep and a fantastic cook), served with mercimek köfte. When I tasted it, I thought, "Oh, this shouldn't be too hard to make, and yum!"
I was going to trade her my chocolate chip cookie recipe (which I made in return for the köfte), but I was daunted not just by translating the language, but converting the measurements… So thanks!
Your recipes are so interestingly delicious to me! Always a new adventure here.. Thanks for sharing!
Another tempting recipe from you, at this rate I won't fit into an airline seat later in the year when we come 😉 We'd love to go to Assos, will there be time? We must start planning soon.
Glad you like the sound of this! Thank you for all yr comments. After I posted this, I thought oh it may be just too spicy for general taste, too garlicky. But definitely worth trying and after all, you can make it less spicy if you want. Julia, I thought you were going to say 'it's dangerously fattening!!!
Stranger, when are we going to have that coffee? And Knitsister, let's plan!! Ayak, how're things going babywise? Lenia and Glorious: nice to hear from you both!
I have two questions for you: How long did you soak the bulgur for? I put 1/4 cup bulgur in a bowl, then poured about 1/4 boiling water over it. In about 5 minutes, the water has been completely absorbed, so I assumed it was done. However, the bulgur was not at all soft and was instead quite crunchy.
Also, do you think this can be frozen? I now have so much open pepper paste that I want to make more but I can't eat it all at once!
Hi Barbara! I am so happy to hear from you again. Also happy you liked this acuka – we have already finished that first lot and I am making more tomorrow! I too just soaked the bulgur while I was doing something else. All the water was absorbed but I tried a few grains: they were a bit crunchy but I decided that was fine – which it was. Did you use the fine grain bulgur? Hmm – freezing – can't say. I would say rather go the sterilized jar way which is what I am going to do – washing the jars in warm soapy water, and then putting in a very hot oven or boiling.
I gave some away from that first batch and they loved it too!!
And thank you, Froggie and thank you, Mary. It is so nice to get comments. I am interested: which ingredients, Mary, do you think might be difficult to find where you are?
Ah, I bet the bulgur was not fine grain….and in fact, upon checking, it's not! I will rectify that for next time for sure! It added just a bit too much crunch for my liking. As for freezing, I may just try a little bit and see how it turns out, but most likely I'll just pass along some to the neighbors! We love to exchange food!
I wondered what this was. In Antalya, one of the restaurants served it with the breads they brought out. Yum! Can't wait to try it!
Hi Claudia – Thank you much for trying out the recipe! Glad to read that you and your readers liked it! You have a great blog here! Really enjoyed reading your Turkey adventures!
