This is a beautiful, simply spiced meal. Bhuna refers to the style of cooking. You could say it's the Indian equivalent of a 'confit' style dish. You'll be gently frying and cooking the meat in its own juices, so maximising the combined flavours of the lamb with the warm, tingly heat of black pepper, cloves and black cardamom….. amongst others. Patience is the key. You need to cook on a low flame throughout, but the rewards are an intensely tasty, tender lamb, rich-spicy-gravy bowl of loveliness. Perfect with Green Saffron's sweet Naans and mounds of fluffy Basmati!
1. In a large casserole dish or saucepan and on a low flame, gently fry the diced onions and your packet of GREEN SAFFRON Bhuna Spice Mix in the oil until the onions are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
2. Then add the garlic, ginger and fresh chilli. Stir for a couple of minutes.
3. Next, add the cubed lamb, stir around to combine everything then pop the lid on.
4. Cook for about 30 minutes, maintaining the low heat and stirring occasionally to prevent the spices from sticking to the pan's bottom.
Try to keep all the steam within the pan by only lifting the lid very briefly at a time.
5. Turn up the heat. Add the tomato puree and warm water. Stir, bring to the boil then immediately turn the heat back down.
7. Then, take the lid off and allow to gently reduce until you've got a nice glossy, thickly coating sauce and the lamb is good and tender, this'll maybe take 30 to 40 minutes.
8. Add the yoghurt, stir thoroughly and allow to gently bubble for a final 5 minutes, then serve straight away…simple!
Try replacing the lamb with 1 kg or 2lbs of chicken meat cut into bite-size pieces, but only put it into the pan in Step 7, once the sauce is almost the consistency you want otherwise the chicken will be really tough.

HOME ECOSYSTEM About Scheme
Scheme for Assistance to Startup/Innovation
Operative Period
Scheme Eligibility
Available Assistance
Scheme Introduction
In the last decade, India spent less than 1% of the GDP for R&D and Innovation. R&D in India is still largely financed by the government sources. There are around 5,000 Startups world over, in which 2000 are in United States and 1000 are in China. India has only 65 incubators. Countries like Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, etc. have been giving more importance to R&D and Innovation. India is poised to become the youngest country by 2020 with an average age of 29 years, accounting 28% of the world's work force. In view of this, the State needs to explore scientific and technology ecosystems through Startups & incubators that would further empower the youth.
More than 60% of Gujarat Population is in the age group of 15-59. A young population means a young workforce, which, in turn, implies a more innovative and entrepreneurial mind set. The Government is focussed strongly not just on the employability but also on initiating the Startups Incubators/ Centers for developing entrepreneurial skills in the youth.
Startups in an economy's technology sectors is an important indicator of technological performance for several reasons: first, the formation of new firms that focus on the development and introduction of new technology is a major source of innovation and technological advance. Many of these Startups transfer new knowledge or new ideas into products and processes into commercial applications. Startups are likely to bring in new solutions and challenge established by individuals/ companies that enter these new markets.
In view of the strategy under New Industrial Policy the Government is pleased to introduce a "Scheme for Assistance for Startups / Innovation" which will come into force from the date 1.1.2015 and will remain in operation for a period of five years.

A PlayStation Vita TV Value Pack will also be available on Nov. 14. This bundle is set to include PlayStation Vita TV, a DualShock 3 controller and a 8GB Vita Memory Card. The price for the bundle is ¥14,994 (or around $150).

Preservation Perceptions
1950s garage being moved to another location on the Johnson family property in St. Cloud, MN, October 2013. The garage was moved by Ehrlichmann Structural Movers based out of Royalton, MN. Photo by Ann Marie Johnson.
One way to create a stir is to do something unexpected, like moving an old garage rather than tearing it down and building a new one. My family recently moved our 1950s-era garage to a new location on our property. The project generated a lot of curious skepticism and much interest in our quiet neighborhood. As information was shared and the project took shape, the initial skepticism changed to admiration and respect. Structurally sound, in good condition and having a proven ability to withstand natural disasters better than its younger neighbors, the garage was worth saving. The whole experience got me to wondering how much our perceptions about preservation and what can be saved are influenced by appearances. If, for example, a garage is old and worn does that mean it no longer has a useful life? If a manufacturing plant is abandoned does that automatically make it an eyesore? If a piece of metal is corroded and full of rust does that mean it no longer has a story to tell? In many cases, the answer is no.
Hennepin Paper Mill ruins at Mill Park in Little Falls, MN. Photo by Ann Marie Johnson for the Morrison County Historical Society, 2013.
Large structures such as manufacturing plants can seem to pose complex preservation problems when they are abandoned, leading to calls for their immediate demolition. When the Hennepin Paper Company of Little Falls filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and ceased operations, the site was quickly deemed an eyesore, an environmental hazard and a health concern. Situated along the banks of the Mississippi River near downtown Little Falls, the mill had been a fixture in the community and a major employer for over a century. The company began operations in 1890 and manufactured a wide variety of paper, including newsprint, construction paper and at one time every Crayola crayon wrapper in the country. (SHPO, 2005) Efforts were made to attract another business to the site but these were unsuccessful, perhaps hampered by references to the former mill as an industrial relic, a mess and a disaster waiting to happen. The City of Little Falls acquired the property in 2002 and, though it was determined not to be a risk to the environment at the time, site assessments did document hazardous chemicals, asbestos and soil contamination. After it became clear that another business would not be attracted to the site, plans were developed to turn the property into a park. Region 5 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) grants available through the 2001 federal Brownfields Act helped to clean up the site and triggered review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The review determined that the Hennepin Paper Company property was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, being the location of the oldest paper mill west of the Mississippi River and a prominent American Indian portage and gathering place. Through the combined efforts of local community and civic leaders and with state and federal involvement, a natural park was developed featuring views of the Mississippi River and salvaged elements from the former mill, such as brick foundation arches, mill stones and the bottom section of the mill smokestack. Dedicated on June 25, 2005, Mill Park is an excellent example of an eyesore that was saved.
Size does not seem to matter when it comes to questions about preservation. Earlier this year, a collection of objects was brought to the museum by Jim Lang, a Little Falls resident who likes to dive in local rivers and lakes. Among the items he brought to the museum was a large saw blade fragment found in the Mississippi River. The blade seemed interesting (isn't everything interesting to museum curators?!) but was in poor condition and covered with rust, making it a questionable addition to the museum's burgeoning collection. Leave it to MCHS executive director, Jan Warner, and board president, Art Warner, to see the blade and exclaim, "Oh look, an ice saw." What followed was a history lesson on ice cutting in Morrison County. Until the mid-20th century, when refrigeration became affordable, ice blocks were cut by the ton during the cold winter months. The blocks were stored in sheds packed with sawdust and were sold year round throughout the community. Little Falls had a number of ice companies, including Trebby Ice Company, Peerless Ice Company, People's Ice Company, City Ice Company, Natural Ice Company and Drellock Ice Company. Most of the companies made use of the Mississippi River which runs right through town. Besides ice cutting, stories related to the fragment include water quality and the environment, the relatively contemporary story of diving river and lake bottoms for fun and "treasure" and the ever-evolving issue of gender roles. In the early 1930s, a Mrs. Schlichting, the "lady iceman," is reported to have had quite the business driving an ice delivery truck in Little Falls. She could split 500 pound ice cakes into the right size, sling them over her shoulder and put them in the iceboxes of various homes and businesses throughout the city. ("Ice Harvesting." Morrison County Historical Society. Little Falls, MN. n.d. Presentation) Needless to say, the saw blade fragment has been added to the museum's collection, expanding the richness and depth of the history of Morrison County.

As a society, we tend to value what is new and young, undented and unsmudged. My family's slightly dented, semi-smudged old garage may not have seemed at first glance to be the best candidate for preservation and reuse but it proved worthy. As society, the environment and our understanding of the world changes and we move toward placing greater emphasis on weighing the option of adaptive reuse rather than destruction and demolition, the influence of visual impressions will fade as the benefits of preservation, in the right circumstances, grows. When the Hennepin Paper Mill site was turned into a park, it strengthened the health of the surrounding community. When the ice saw fragment was extracted from the depths of the Mississippi River, a new tool was acquired helping to teach about a time before electricity. Preservation is not about saving only those things that appear perfect. Before we add to our already growing landfills and shrinking natural resources, we need to look beyond the surface of things in order to make the best decisions and get preservation right.

LatinaLista — The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice joined forces to release a revised "Dear Colleague Letter" reminding elementary and high school administrators to not prevent undocumented children from enrolling in their schools.
The revisions are clarifications to a "Dear Colleague Letter" released in 2011 and make it very clear to administrators that they are under federal obligation to provide an education to undocumented students as well.
In prepared remarks, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said, "In 2011, the Departments of Justice and Education issued guidance designed to help schools understand their responsibilities under Plyler and federal civil rights law more generally. In the three years since, we have worked with scores of school districts to ensure that they are fulfilling their obligations under both constitutional and federal law.
One of those actions taken by some schools is requiring that parents produce a Social Security card for their children, when, in fact, it's not required and parents must be told that it's a voluntary action. Another area where some administrators discriminated against undocumented families was not recognizing some forms of identification from the parents' home country.
In the release today, which also included a fact sheet for administrators and a Q&A sheet answering the most common questions, both Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan made it clear that school administrators who obstructed the enrollment of undocumented students would be found in violation of federal law.

Equifax has released their latest news on increases in auto financing for people with bad credit history. Big increases in industry lending for poor credit auto loans are partly due to the improvement of the overall economy but may also be accredited to the increase of consistent loan payments with zero down car loans.
• The most recent data shows that auto loans originated between January-November 2012 totaled $387.7 billion, a six-year high and representing nearly 46% of total consumer credit originated ($825 billion) for that same time.
• Total number of new auto loans originated between January-November 2012 was 19.9 million, an increase of more than 11% from January-November 2011 and matching a six-year high.
• New auto loans funded in November 2012 by banks, savings and loans or credit unions increased nearly 13% over November 2011 totals (749,800 to 857,300).
We've noticed an increased curve of approval for all applicants across the board. However, we do encourage our auto applicants to deal smartly with a lender.

Getting a loan from a bad lender will cost you thousands of dollars in unnecessary interest payments.

"Why, yes," I reply in the most debonair of voices.

So stand up and take control of your situation. You can do your own research. You can procure your own credit scores. You can find the car that fits into your monthly budget. Yes, you, can be the master of your life and your zero down auto financing!
One thing that's always troubled me about Auto Loans is feeling like I have no control over the situation–feeling like my car financing terms were at the mercies of some cold, unfeeling person who really didn't care what kind of deal I got. Well, I certainly care about my bad credit auto loan and not damaging my credit score any further!
We all like to feel like we ought to be able to do something to change and better our situation. In previous posts, I've talked about how getting bad credit auto loans online is different from the other methods.
Getting your Bad Credit Auto Loans Online gives you the ability–the luxury of contributing to your auto loan terms to where you have some choices–not just the obligatory Tuesday meatloaf on the cafeteria lunch menu. Sure, you can't just erase your bad credit history, but you can tweak your numbers to give you some choices on your interest rate, your loan term length, and your loan itself.
the comfort of your home, sweatpants, calculator, and phone.

Rodents are able to fit through extremely tiny spaces, and have even been known to crawl up sewer pipes. They can easily scale walls, making any gap or tiny opening a potential entry point for these adventurous critters and causing attics to be a popular place for them to set up shop. Rodents in the attic is a special case that calls for Seattle rodent pest control services.

With key posts vacant, Iraq prime minister pushes on with incomplete government
by Editor Ahmad Iraq News 9 months ago
(The National) Iraq's new prime minister may have secured the backing of parliament but the challenge of forming his government is not over with the key posts of oil and foreign minister still vacant after MPs vetoed his nominees.
Parliament may have approved the new government headed by Mustafa Al Kadhimi early on Thursday morning but there were last-minute changes to the cabinet line-up and five positions remain empty. The changes were an attempt to placate the country's divided political factions and secure the vote before Mr Al Kadhimi's mandate expired later this week.
The former intelligence chief was nominated by President Barham Salih in early April and is the third man asked to try and replace former premier Adel Abdel Mahdi who stood down late last year in the face of bloody nationwide demonstrations against corruption, mismanagement and unemployment.
Fifteen of Mr Al Kadhimi's proposed ministers passed the vote out of a prospective 22-seat cabinet. Five names, however, did not make it.
The most prominent positions that MPs rejected were the Oil and Foreign Ministries, which remain vacant until further negotiations can shortlist ministers.
The recent plummeting global oil price has blown a hole in the state budget at a time when Iraq faces economic crisis despite vast petrochemical reserves. Negotiations between Opec and other major oil and gas suppliers have formed an agreement, but more talks are still likely. It is unclear what the impact will be for Iraq without a minister to lead the country's position.
Mr Al Kadhimi's government program vowed to address the "consequences of the current economic crisis caused by the decline in oil prices."
The issue of naming a foreign minister lies with another crisis that Iraq finds in caught in – the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US.
Since the US invasion of 2003, Iraqi politicians have had the unenvious task of balancing relations with Washington and neighbouring Tehran.
Iran has deep economic and religious ties with Iraq but is under sweeping sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump.
But tensions between the two states heightened in recent months after the US killed top Iranian general Qassem Suleimani near Baghdad's airport in early January.
It triggering a series of tit-for-tat attacks between the two in Iraq.
Mr Al Kadhimi's vote of confidence on Thursday morning was in response to weeks of political lobbying by all sides on the deeply divided political parties in parliament – including those with close ties to Iran who had been wary of the new prime minister's ties to the United States.
Both the US and Iran welcomed the formation of Iraq's new government for ending months of political instability.
In a phone call with Mr Al Kadhimi, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo congratulated him on taking office and discussed "working together to provide the Iraqi people the prosperity and security they deserve," the State Department said in a statement.

RAMPANT LOGGING BLAMED FOR DEFORESTATION
By: Wani Alex David
Massive logging for timber and charcoal are the main causes of deforestation across the country, environmentalists have said.
Professor Pius Yanda a consultant in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry said firewood collection, and charcoal burning are the main drivers of deforestation and forestry degradation in the country.
Prof. Yanda said it would be difficult for the government to stop people from timber harvesting and logging because there is ready market.
"People carry out this timber harvesting and logging because there is market that motivates them so you cannot stop it just like that, it's very difficult," Yanda said.
He made the remarks on Monday during a one-day validation workshop organized by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
The event sought to identify the major drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.
he workshop was organized with support from African Development Bank.
Speaking to the press, Prof. Yanda cited poverty as one of the issues that drive people to cut tress for charcoal to enable them earn a living.
He said the big urban population has called for more demand in charcoal and fire wood collection.
Yanda attributed some of the drivers to poor coordination by forest related management institutions, lack of visible forest boundaries, lack of benefit sharing mechanism, and weak institutions mandated to manage forest resources.
Jaden Tongun Emilio, Undersecretary in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, said commercial agriculture, timber harvesting and logging are the main drivers.
"Commercial agriculture removes all the trees to open a large area of land for cultivation and that is deforestation while for timber and logging is selective that means you are degrading the forest," Emilio said.
Emilio said there were a number of policies, strategies and plans that highlight forest cover as one of their strategies aimed at increasing the number of tress and forest cover.
He said the Ministry of Environment and Forestry was doing extension work to encourage farmers to agro-forest where they could plant crops and tress to increase the forest cover.
However, he said inadequate number of people deployed on the ground to monitor forest and lack of transport to facilitate workers to forest areas was another problem.
Emilio urged for investment in forestry, noting that investors wanted to invest in something that only takes months or few years to harvest.

Red Lory by Dave Newell is about Douglas who is a small town doctor who finds himself in a large amount of debt. Douglas is caught between two women. Douglas is attracted to his secretary Dare but is compromised by money. The doctor lends his companionship to Mrs. King as her husband lies dying on his deathbed. Douglas finds this arrangement troublesome. It goes against his principles to be spending so much of his time with the proprietress as her husband lies on his sickbed. Guilt and money run through his mind, as the visits to the soon-to-be widower become more and more routine. As his debt grows, Douglas has little choice. Douglas finds himself at a crossroads. Who will he chose: money or will he follow his heart?
In the middle of all of this, is a gorgeous parrot whose beautiful red feathers and sing-songy voice will capture readers' attention. Hannah, the bird that Douglas purchases out of whim, comes into the doctor's life like a reprieve from all the stresses and events that go on in his life. As the drama to the story unfolds, the bird comes less of a pet and more of an annoyance. Soon any hindrance in the doctor's life becomes less of an obstruction as the doctor takes matters into his own hands.
Although nothing happens between Douglas and Dare, their exchanges with each other are loaded with secrets and innuendos. Emitting great sexual tension from their relationship of employer and employee, there seems to be more going on in their relationship than what appears to be on the surface. But much to the disappointment of the reader, none of this gets realized, and we get an ending that is more or less lackluster.
The writing was rather simplistic, only giving the raw backbones to the story. This seemed to serve well for the setting which takes place in a small American town in the 40's or 50's.
The story went by fast, but more is left wanting from Douglas and Dare's relationship. What happened to the doctor in the end and what sort of desserts did Dare get?
All this and more make this story one that needs more background and fleshing out.

The world's multinational companies must develop new thinking to deal with the issues described above. As US-centric corporations, for example, seek to develop their businesses and extend their reach into more heterogeneous markets, the balance of organisations will shift. This will not mean that everything changes. There will continue to be a focus on global, max or core brands, with sales of more than $1 billion, to counterbalance the power of global retailers and allow companies to become less dependent on the US markets. For instance, Coca-Cola's geographic coverage of around a third in North America, a third in Asia and Latin America and a third in Europe, Middle East and Africa will become more the norm, rather than Pepsi-Cola's 52% in the US. At the same time, more sensitive local organisations that can respond more readily to national opportunities and challenges will be required.
The past 10 to 15 years have seen, probably quite rightly, a diminution of the power of country managers, as companies sought to reduce needless duplication and stimulate the sharing of knowledge. Eradicating geographic silos and fiefdoms made sense. But as country-based organisations have become more complex and sizeable, there may be a need to develop more focus at a local level. Several clients have started to re-build country organisations and re-appoint country managers or ambassadors, particularly as they need to cultivate governmental or academic influence or be more locally sensitive.
As a result, regional management has come under scrutiny. With the development of technology and communications, organisational span-breakers may not be so necessary. In addition, given the complexity of regional tasks, regional managers become no more than glorified financial directors. The average advertising agency regional director in Europe, for example, may have to cover 100 offices in a 250-day working year. It would be difficult to add significant value while spending an average of one to two days in each office a year, even if he or she travelled constantly.
At WPP, we are experimenting with two new organisational responses. First, Global Client Leaders to manage at least the 30 biggest clients across WPP on a worldwide basis. Second, WPP Country Managers focusing on three key issues – people, local clients and acquisitions.
Both responses cause angst to our operating company or tribal leaders, who continue to have primary organisational control. Both cut across traditional organisational structures. Both demand new ways of working together, denying turf, territory and ego. Both raise questions about motives, methods and values. But both are necessary, responding to client needs and developments. Organisations are becoming more and more networked, less and less pyramidic.
Furthermore, as the balance of economic power shifts, there will have to be similar shifts in power within corporations. Salary increases, benefits, STIPs, LTIPs, share options, restricted stock allocations, capital expenditure, for example, will have to be allocated more fairly, as growth favours these faster-growing markets. This will mean that Anglo-American or American-Western European management cliques will have to open up, as, for example, Unilever has done, with over 400 Indian managers already exported around the world in senior positions. There will be more.

Ireland's Wars: O'Sullivan's March
Posted on Aug 21, 2018 by NFB
This is the second part of what was once a single post, that has since been split-up as part of an editing process. The first part is here.
Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare was devastated by the loss and then destruction of Dunboy Castle, with the associated loss of most of the Beara peninsula to the troops of George Carew. Though O'Sullivan Beare continued his guerrilla campaign, he was operating on borrowed time. Carew went back to the tried and true methods of crop stealing/burning in order to reduce his enemy's access to supplies and weaken his connection to the local population, already living on the edge of starvation. This "devastation" policy would soon be mirrored in other parts of Ireland, and was part of a Pale-ordered effort to strangle the last support that the rebels across the country had. Cork and Kerry received the worst of it, with reports of mass executions and slaughter of wounded and sick. Though Irish accounts are to be taken with a degree of salt, it's clear that the English in Munster were, at this stage, not relying too much on soft power.
Though O'Sullivan Beare and what remained of his followers still held a few lesser fortresses and remained an irritating source of raids and ambushes for the rest of 1602, it couldn't last. All of the Spanish gold would not help him if there was nothing to spend it on. Once Richard Tyrell and the last of his meagre force left the area (he had actually attacked civilians in Kerry as a result of feeling he had been betrayed by the McCarthys), O'Sullivan Beare was largely alone, with little chance of any support coming to him from outside the province. The loss of Dunboy, according to at least one source, was the final death knell in Spanish plans to send a new force to Ireland, though I personally find the idea of Philip III sending any more troops to be highly improbable after Kinsale. Still, if O'Sullivan believed this, it might explain the near-suicidal course he took as 1602 drew to a close. With the loss of a fastness in the Glengariff Forest after a bitter fight with Carew's armies, and the final defeat of the Kerry rebels in a skirmish at Carbery, his positions of last retreat had been captured or cut off. He was out of crops and herds, and Carew stood poised to bring him to heel at last.
With the last thousand of his loyal followers – maybe half of whom would have been soldiers, the rest being elderly, women and children – O'Sullivan Beare made the decision to strike out of Cork, out of Munster, and head to the relative safety of allies in the north of Ireland. His letter connections to the Spanish court continued to make his survival upon surrender unlikely, and he could not continue to stay where he was and live. Carew pushed him too hard, necessitating the leaving time being one of the worst possible, December 31st. In a grim mirror of the Gaelic Army's march from the north the previous year, O'Sullivan would now lead a force in the other direction at the height of winter.
This march has become famous – or infamous if you prefer – as one of the great (and last) struggles of Gaelic Ireland. The thousand strong host left Glengarrif, not far from Bantry, and headed north towards Limerick. Sanctuary was hundreds of miles off, with some of the only allies O'Sullivan had left, in North Connacht and Ulster.
All along the way, more especially after they had left Cork, this column would come under attack, from both English forces, Irish forces and just whatever local population they would stray near. The intent of the attacks would have been both military and opportunistic, as the slow-moving host would have been a ripe target for brigands as well as Carew and company. Covering anywhere between 20 and 30 miles a day, O'Sullivan kept his people moving at a pace that was near murderous at times but was a result of their many enemies. The route they took varied from roads and countryside depending on the environment and suspected attack. I have replicated their journey below to the best of my ability, with the green dots representing major camp sites, and the red dots representing major fights. It should not be taken as anything other than a very rough guide to their route and progress.
(The dots, from south to north, would be Glengarrif, Millstreet, the East Limerick region (Hospital perhaps), Donohill, North Tipperary camps, Portumna, Aughrim, Glinsk and Leitrim Town.)
The first major combat, aside from a few raids suffered near Millstreet, occurred as the group entered the east of Limerick, and came under attack from White Knight forces based out of Kilmallock. Supplemented by soldiers from Limerick City itself, they caused many casualties and drove O'Sullivan and the survivors on to the mountains in Tipperary in a running battle. O'Sullivan and his people survived, perhaps due to the piecemeal and undisciplined way their enemies attacked, not to mention their own soldiers firing back with their stock of muskets. The Shannon had to be crossed, a passage on the eastern side not something that could be contemplated due to the English domination of the midlands. A direct approach, crossing to the south of the rivers course, was also out of the question, due to the English control of the estuary and the immediate area. So, O'Sullivan was obliged to swing into Tipperary and pursue a curving path northwards past Lough Derg.
Along the way they attacked the small fort at Donohill for desperately needed supplies, but came under constant attack themselves from local raiding parties and some forces under the Earl of Ormond. None of these was large enough to cause a fatal blow, but the attacks chipped away at the column's strength, and over 300 of them had already fallen or left. The winter froze some to death, starvation took others. Carrying no food, they were forced to eat what they could find on the road, which was slim pickings at that time of year.
The crossing of the Shannon took place at the top of Lough Derg, near the village of Portumna. The river could not be forded, so O'Sullivan Beare took the measure of slaughtering the last of their horses and skinning them to make currachs (a small Irish boat). Two were constructed to ferry the remainder of the column across. One of these sank on the way, though close enough to the shore that no one drowned. The other, after an agonising time, got the rest across and into modern day County Galway. Local Irish out of Redwood Castle, loyal to the English, launched a number of attacks while the refugees waited on the eastern side, inflating their misery.
O'Sullivan Beare, his group leaking members all the time, continued north. In the Aughrim area of Galway he was able to stop for a while and raid about for supplies, which would not have endeared him to the local population. North of this area O'Sullivan Beare and his group were attacked by a force under a Thomas Malby, an English veteran of the Yellow Ford and Kinsale, but beat off the assault. Malby is depicted in most accounts as severely outnumbering his pennants, making this fight an historical oddity. Given the lack of information, it is strange that, with a reported 3-1 advantage over a group of tired, starving wanderers, Malby was not able to destroy his foe, so we must assume that the numbers are exaggerated, or that the attack failed for other reasons – poor weather, bad timing, etc. One account claims O'Sullivan Beare made use of a false retreat tactic to put his enemy to (temporary) flight, allowing he and his followers to escape the danger. Malby was killed in the fighting, which may also explain why the English were deterred.
As O'Sullivan Beare maintained his pace, snow began to fall, leaving the threat of exposure ever present for those few who now remained, well less than half of who set out. Some would not have died, but simply turned aside or gone home, seeking shelter wherever they could, rather than continue the brutal journey. When it wasn't snowing, it was raining.
O'Sullivan Beare went on, now following the course of the Suck River. Eventually this brought him close to Glinsk Castle, controlled by the Burke's. O'Sullivan approached the castle, apparently hoping to find help or shelter there, but the castles owner not only shut his doors, but organised the locals to drive the refugees off. Though mostly unarmed, they heavily outnumbered the marchers, and O'Sullivan Beare was hesitant to confront them. One source claims he tried to trick the garrison of Glinsk into opening up by displaying colours captured from Malby, but this ruse failed to work. A pursuit until they were clear of Burke lands continued, a consistent harassment, that meant O'Sullivan Beare could find no succour there.
So the column, now a week and a half in the wilderness, was compelled to keep moving, the numbers now dropping low. The route went into Roscommon and the many lakes in the north of the county. This was far closer to rebel territory, and the welcome the group received was probably friendlier here, or at least somewhat neutral. The last part of the march at least had a local guide of some sort. O'Sullivan made the pass through the Curlew Mountains, probably through the same point where Hugh Roe O'Donnell had defeated Conyers Clifford a few years earlier, then around Lough Arrow and into Leitrim, where the last of his exhausted hungry troop fell in the doors of O'Rourke's castle, probably where Leitrim Village is today.
Of the thousand or so that set out, all that remained, apart from O'Sullivan Beare himself, were "18 soldiers, 16 horseboys and one woman". Just 35 of the group made it to the relative safety of the north, two weeks after they had set out. A few dribs and drabs, groups of two and three, would follow over the following days. The rest had died from starvation and the cold, been killed by the near ceaseless attacks, or had turned aside and sought their own end. O'Rourke, long a rebel, freely offered comfort and what relief he could to them. The nightmare, for now, had ended.
O'Sullivan's movement north was a desperate move that resulted in the loss of nearly all of his remaining followers. One could argue that it would have been better if he had just turned himself in rather than let the last of his people be slaughtered, but this thought does not seem to have occurred to most Irish sources, who paint the march with the most tragic/romantic brushes possible, emphasising the cruelty of those who were opposed to the marchers over the insanity of the marchers themselves. A famous jig may not have helped matters in that respect. The march was a near hopeless endeavour from start to finish, as O'Sullivan lacked the soldiers to defend all of his people and moved through an environment that was as hostile in nature as it was in locals.
The march offered nothing to the rebellion in the north, given the tiny numbers of military effectives who made it that far. By then, the Nine Years War was rapidly heading to a close anyway and those final moves will be the focus of the next entry.

1 Response to Ireland's Wars: O'Sullivan's March


Leaky pipes are bad because they wreak all kinds of havoc on what is supposed to be something normal, something routine.
Think about all the different things you use water for. If you have trouble with it, here are a few for you to ruminate on: you use it for cooking, for cleaning dishes afterward, for drinking with food, for showering, for washing clothes, for using the bathroom. All of those tasks – simple, basic things – all require water to get done.
The water, of course, has to get there somehow. And that often means a pipe system of some kind. And we often take for granted the marvel of this, that the water can fight gravity and end up where we need it to be, carrying away the filth that we need it to carry without any real trouble to show for itself.
Of course, that all changes if a crack develops in the pipes.
The reason pipe systems work is because they contain water under pressure. That pressure can only go to the places that open in the pipes. That's basic plumbing. When you open a faucet, it releases the pressure in the direction of that faucet, to the degree that you open it up.
Having a crack in your pipe gives the pipe system an extra opening that you weren't looking for. And it carries the water – and everything it was carrying – out with it. It ends up somewhere you don't want.
If you suspect this, let us know. We'll get someone to take a look for you.


In general terms, harm reduction means reducing the harms related to substance use. Harm reduction is about trusting relationships and about accepting and meeting the person where they are at, without stigma and without shame.
Encourages self-respect and offers hope.
For us as families it means first and foremost keeping our loved ones alive and healthy until they can arrive at a place where they can seek recovery.

Duntroon workers win redundancy payments
16/04/2019 admin 苏州美甲美睫培训学校
Full public service coverage
Dumped defence contractor Serco will have to pay hundreds of thousands in redundancies to up to 200 Canberra workers sacked after the Britain-based multinational lost the facilities contract for defence sites around the capital.
The Fair Work Commission has Serco, and its joint venture partner Sodexo, pay the cleaners, cooks and security guards, many of whom worked at the Royal Military College Duntroon, after a dispute over which workers were owed severance pay-outs.
The services union United Voice said the FWC decision had exposed the behaviour of the joint venture partners towards its former workers as "ugly and mean".
The union says the workers, many of whom earned about $550 a week, might get between $4000 and $5000 each.
The joint venture Serco Sodexo Defence Services (SSDS) employed about 1400 workers in the ACT and parts of surrounding NSW, until it failed in a tender for Defence Department work last year.
SSDS supplied catering security and cleaning services to the military college and other military and defence installations, employing about 300 people, including about 100 casual employees.
When the joint venture failed in its bid to have its contract renewed in 2014, the workers were sacked with many of them finding work with the companies who took over the contracts.
Under Fair Work laws, a company does not have to pay a redundancy to a worker if the employer has secured a new job, with similar pay and conditions, for its former employee.
SSDS refused to pay redundancies to many of its Canberra workers, arguing that it had helped to get them jobs with the new contractors at defence, freeing the joint venture from the legal obligation to pay-out their former employers.
But after a three-day hearing in Sydney in November, Fair Work Commissioner Julius Roe found, in a decision handed down on Thursday, the joint venture had not played as decisive a role in its former employees' new jobs as it claimed.
Workers gave evidence that they had heard about the jobs with the new contractors from a variety of sources, including Defence Department public servants.
"I am satisfied that SSDS was not a strong moving force behind the SSDS employees being offered employment with Transfield, Wilson, Brookfield, Menzies, AFL, Blackhawk, Spotless or Compass," commissioner Roe wrote in his decision
"The actions of SSDS were insufficient to cause acceptable alternative employment to become available to the redundant employees."
But the company still has a chance to reduce its liability with commissioner Roe agreeing to hear more legal arguments on the amounts to be paid.
A spokesperson from SSDS would not comment other than saying the company had noted the decision and was considering its position.
Tony Cabello, a security guard at the Defence Department's Russell Offices, said he and his colleagues had been shocked when they lost their jobs at SSDS and had been given little help in securing new employment.
"Some of us were lucky to get employed but it wasn't a very nice Christmas," the father-of-four said.
United Voice ACT Branch Secretary Lyndal Ryan was scathing of the joint venture partners' behaviour towards its former workers.
"This is the ugly and mean side of giant corporations," Ms Ryan said,
"They can't be allowed to flout local laws to rob hard-working loyal staff of their entitlements.
"This money is a drop in the ocean for SSDS but is a huge amount of money to those workers who have been left waiting."

Rev. Michael Pfleger Cleared of Sex Abuse Allegations, Reinstated as Pastor at Saint Sabina
https://ift.tt/pxO8iUg
Rev. Michael Pfleger has been reinstated as the pastor of Chicago's Saint Sabina Catholic Church after an Archdiocese of Chicago review board cleared Pfleger of sexual abuse allegations brought forth against him two months ago, according to a letter from Cardinal Blase Cupich.
Cupich wrote a letter to the Saint Sabina parish community Saturday, announcing he was reinstating Pfleger as pastor immediately following a thorough review by the archdiocese's Independent Review Board and outside investigators. The Review Board, according to the cardinal, concluded "there is no reason to suspect" Pfleger is guilty of the accusations.
"Having given careful consideration to their decision, which I fully accept, I now inform you that I am reinstating Father Pfleger to his position of senior pastor of the Faith Community of St. Sabina, effective immediately," he said, in the letter, in part. "I want to recognize that these months have taken a great toll on Fr. Mike and all of you, and I am committed to do everything possible to see that his good name is restored."
In mid-October, a Chicago attorney confirmed that a client of his has filed a claim with the Archdiocese of Chicago, alleging that Pfleger had sexually abused him when he was a minor in the late 1980s.
The attorney, Eugene Hollander, said his client was a member of the Soul Children of Chicago choir that rehearsed at St. Sabina Parish on a weekly basis.
Hollander's client alleges that on two separate occasions during these rehearsals, Pfleger sexually abused him in the parish rectory.
In a statement that month, Pfleger said he was innocent of the accusation while announcing he was stepping aside from all public ministry during the Archdiocese's investigation. Pfleger was previously accused of sexual abuse by three different men, leading to an investigation into Pfleger that began in 2021. Pfleger was allowed to return to the church in June 2021 after the Archdiocese found the allegations to be unfounded.
The full letter from Cupich is below:
Dear members of the Faith Community of St. Sabina,
Thank you for your patience and prayers during the absence of your senior pastor, Father Michael Pfleger. As you know, earlier this year the archdiocese received allegations of child sexual abuse against Father Pfleger. In accordance with our policies for the protection of children and youth, the archdiocese Independent Review Board. assisted by our Office of Child Abuse Investigation and Review and outside investigators conducted a thorough review of the allegations.
The Review Board has concluded that there is no reason to suspect Father Pfleger is guilty of these allegations. Having given careful consideration to their decision, which I fully accept, I now inform you that I am reinstating Father Pfleger to his position of senior pastor of the Faith Community of St. Sabina, effective immediately. I want to recognize that these months have taken a great toll on Fr. Mike and all of you, and I am committed to do everything possible to see that his good name is restored. I ask that this letter be read at all the Masses this coming weekend, posted both as a hard copy in the Church and an electronic copy on your parish webpage. We will make it available to the media and on the webpage of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
In these days in which we prepare for the birth of the Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ, we recall that nothing can take away the joy of God's love for us. My prayer is that your celebration of Christmas will be filled with the joy that belongs to those who are patient and trusting in the goodness and nearness of God. As I assure you of my prayers, I ask that you do all you can to welcome back Father Pfleger so that he can once again take up the ministry that has distinguished St. Sabina in the archdiocese and beyond.

It's ironic that you start life knowing exactly what you want and then end it in a frantic search for What It All Means. And that is exactly what is so brilliant about Au Coeur Des Chocolates. They've spent the time to figure out what lies at the heart of the most important thing in life – that thing being chocolate. So you can leave all your concerns aside and focus instead on finding somewhere you can lounge comfortably and enjoy some pretty amazing chocolates.
I have always been a finicky eater and I cannot tell you how many times someone has told me "you'd really like that (lamb, celery, tongue) if it were cooked right." And then somehow, I would always get finagled into having to sample their expert rendition of lamb, celery or tongue, only to reinforce the fact that I don't like it. So, my philosophy has always been, trust your gut. But I have found the exception to my rule. You may be wondering what I am getting to and it's this: If you really believe you are not a chocolate-covered nut person, trust me, the only reason is that you haven't had Au Coeur Des Chocolates Caramelized Nuts. The process in which Au Coeur Des Chocolates Caramelized Nuts are created is painstaking, but oh, so worth it. First, each tiny nut is toasted. Then when the nuts are at the peak of toasty-ness, they are cooked in sugar until the sugar caramelizes and each nut is covered in a light crunchy skin of caramel. Then they throw in a dash of salt to accentuate the flavors and the pièce de résistance is a generous, velvety coating of sumptuous, dark chocolate. To ensure quality and perfection, Au Coeur Des Chocolates employs tiny elves to oversee each exacting step. OK, this last part may or may not be true, but it sure tastes like it. Each bite takes you through the pleasurable taste sensations of the crunch of the nut, the crispiness of the caramelized coating, and then the feeling of smooth, silky, rich chocolate – all blended together in a way that will make you crazy in the same way catnip makes my cat William crazy. You will most certainly find yourself reaching in for "just one more" until the whole bag is empty – even if you are on a diet and your reunion, where you want to show your ex what they missed out on, is less than a week away.
Au Coeur Des Chocolates offers Caramelized Almonds and Caramelized Hazelnuts. You may be tempted to purchase Caramelized Almonds if you are on Team Almond or Caramelized Hazelnuts if you are on Team Hazelnut. But we highly recommend purchasing both, and, instead of troubling yourself about this seeming extravagance, muse on the dilemma of choosing between them and call it a day – a really good day.


Researchers from the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine and The New York Genome Center (NYGC) have benefited from a long relationship, partnering on a variety of projects. One of the largest to date is the Weill Cornell Medicine-New York Genome Center for Functional and Clinical Interpretation of Tumor Profiles.
In late 2016, investigators involved in the WCM-NYGC Weill Cornell Medicine-New York Genome Center (WCM-NYGC) for Functional and Clinical Interpretation of Tumor Profiles collaboration received just shy of $490,000 from the National Cancer Institute to help further data analysis for the Cancer Genome Atlas project.
Under the grant, the WCM-NYGC collaborators will look to handle coding mutations in clinical contexts including relevance to immunotherapies. They'll also explore the role of driver non-coding mutations in transcriptional regulation, as well as the driving role of structural variations as one of 11 specialized genomic data centers that will be responsible for analyzing genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and other kinds of data for the next phase of the Cancer Genome Atlas.
