I do love Baduzzi, after 3 visits I still want to back for more....of just about everything. Meatballs are star but then everything else is just a tempting & delectable. It's run by the same team as The Grove so they know exactly what they are doing & it the most welcome addition to Wynyard Quarter.
Step in through the bright red door, settle in & enjoy!
Baduzzi is the Sicilian word for meatballs & there are some very tasty morsels to choose from. Crayfish meatballs with braised chickpeas, heritage tomato & basil or grilled wagyu meatballs with onion gravy, salsa verde & cannellini beans or wild red deer meatballs with portabello mushroom & cauliflower crema. The other Monday night we had the crayfish & wagyu & were not disappointed....these are melt in the mouth delicious.
Much as I love the meatballs I love the past even more! My special favourite the saffron gnocchi with goats curd, burnt butter, almonds & marjoram. What's not to love about pasta & burnt butter, well actually anything with burnt butter! Add to that the sharp goats cheese & I am in heaven. We also had the rabbit ravioli, plump ravioli packed with rabbit meat are rich & comforting.
We also tried the insalata of white beans, squid, lemon juice & parsley. Perfectly grilled squid & wonderfully bright & fresh salad.
And then there are desserts! I have had the tiramisu on a previous visit...just have it. Rich & creamy...No matter how full you think you are you will thank me...I promise! The chocolate torta caprese with vanilla ice cream is rich, dark & decadent. Served warm with an ooey gooey centre if you love chocolate you will adore this dessert!
Baduzzi from beginning to end is just a delight!
10-26 Jellicoe St, North Wharf, Wynyard Quarter.
They say good things come to those who wait & that is definitely true of this bread, no no knead, bread ready in an hour here. This is a 24 hour job but it is so worth the wait. Ever since getting the Green Kitchen Stories cookbook this one was calling me. I have actually had the ingredients waiting in the pantry for a weekend when time was on my side. And this weekend just gone I did have a little time.
It's not difficult, it is just like a lot of really good things it takes a little time….step by step...they do say patience is a virtue.
*So I had rye flour....& 400g was way more than 2 2/3 cups! But the dough seemed to be the right consistency so I just carried on! And for the second round I just added less spelt flour. I didn't have whole & light & so just used regular spelt flour.
Place the rye grains & sunflower seeds in a bowl & pour over the boiling water. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then add the yoghurt, honey, sea salt, fennel seeds, cranberries & carob or cocoa powder. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Test the temperature with your finger; it should be just warm.
Stir in the yeast & then add the rye flour & stir until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with cling film & leave for 1 hour at room temperature or until the yeast has worked it's magic & the dough is slightly bubbly. Gradually add in enough of the spelt flour to form a dough that you can turn out on to a floured work surface & knead for 5 minutes. Add more spelt flour until the dough becomes firmer. It will be slightly sticky but quite heavy.
Form it in to a ball & place it in a clean oiled bowl. Slap some water on the top with your hands. Cover with clingfilm & chill for 8-10 hours....this is where the first round of waiting comes in.
Place the dough in a 1kg (2 1/4 lb) oiled loaf tin & press down with your fists to get rid of any air pockets. The dough should be quite sticky. Brush the top with water & dust with rye flour. Cover with a kitchen towel & set it aside to rise for slightly for 2 hours....round 2 of waiting.
Pre heat your oven to 200C / 400F. Place the loaf in the oven on the lowest shelf & bake for 1 hour. After an hour turn off the heat & leave the loaf in the oven for a further 15 minutes. Remove from the tin & leave to cool on a wire rack for at least 4 hours....I know, very hard not to cut a slice of bread just out the oven to slather with butter! But the wait is worth it & it is important to allow the bread to set which makes it easier to slice.
Place in an airtight container it will keep for a week.
This is good bread, well actually better then good. A little heavy & full of substance & sustenance it leaves you feeling satisfied & nourished. They say the cranberries are optional but I would definitely include them, those little bursts of fruit just add more texture & flavour.
What I do love about Donna Hay recipes is that they are so adaptable, easy to tweak & change to suit yourself. For me that is a sign of a a good recipe. I prefer them more as guide rather than list of hard & fast rules & ingredients.
This week's theme at I Heart Cooking Clubs is tarts; now I love a tart but with Summer & beach time fast approaching I am in the need of a lighter tart! So this zucchini & feta tart with filo instead of puff or short crust pastry hit the spot.
*I switched out the goat's curd for feta as that was what I had. I also used a tray half the size so pretty much changed all the quantities! So And I added a little lemon zest & chilli....they just work such a treat with feta & zucchini.
Brush the base of a 15cm x 40cm tart dish or baking tray with melted butter. Layer with filo sheets, brushing with melted butter between each layer & leave a little of each sheet over hanging. Top with the grated zucchini.
Place the eggs, cream, lemon zest, chilli, salt & pepper in a bowl & whisk until well combined. Carefully pour over the zucchini and top with the crumbled feta. Crumple up the edges of the over hanging filo to make a little crust & brush it with a little of the melted butter. Place on a baking tray & bake for 30-35 minutes or until just set. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
This was a light & fresh take on a tart....ticking Donna's fast, fresh & simple mantra. The chilli & lemon zest definitely adding a little heat & brightness so would most definitely recommend their addition.
If you like a tart….you'll find more here.
Well not quite pear belle helene & not quite pavlova, but some sort of deliciousness in between. I am more of meringue person so like my pav a little chewy & crunchy & little less marshmallowy, so my pavs tend a little towards a giant meringue!
The favourite dessert of last summer was this brown sugar pavlova with whipped cream, raspberries & salted caramel sauce. Mound everything on top & let everyone just tuck in & help themselves...it went down a treat.
I wanted a little variation, but still a craving for some salted caramel & came up with this pear, chocolate & caramel concoction. Pear Belle Helene, or Poire Belle Helene if we are being all French, is traditionally pears poached in sugar syrup & served with vanilla ice cream & chocolate syrup so I have taken a few liberties...it was the pears & chocolate that inspired this dessert. They may not be quite the classic beautiful pears but they were very, very good!
Makes one large pavlova & 8 dinner guest & neighbours scoffed the lot!
*Severe Warning: This sauce is highly addictive after just one hit!
Pre heat your oven to 140C (no fan bake) / 275F & line a baking tray with baking parchment.
Place the egg whites in the bowl of a mixer & beat until you have stiff peaks & then gradually add the sugar. Keep beating until the sugar is completely dissolved. To check just rub a little meringue between your fingers. If you can still feel grains, beat a little longer until it feels completely smooth.
Add the corn flour*, vinegar & vanilla & beat on low until all incorporated in to the meringue.
*If like me you like something that is somewhere between a pavlova & a meringue reduce the cornflour; I added 3 teaspoons.
Not quite smooth enough…keep beating!
Now this is a rustic pavlova; so gently turn out the meringue on to the baking tray & make a rough rectangle with swirls & peaks & troughs...all the better for holding all those lovely toppings. Place in the oven & cook for one hour.* Allow the meringue to cool completely before assembling & serving.
While the pavlova is cooking make the salted caramel sauce. Place the butter, sugars, syrup & butter in a small saucepan over a medium low heat to melt. Once melted simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring now & again.
Add the cream & half a teaspoon of salt & stir again. Taste, carefully as it will be hot! Add more salt if need be & cook gently for another minute. Et voilà, that is it. In a matter of moments you will have what is the most addictive sauce. I find if left on the stove top it is almost impossible not to just have a little taste every time I walk by.
*Again if like me you prefer a slightly "failed" pav with a little more crunch & a little more chew & little less marshmallowy just cook for a little longer, 5-10 minutes more.
To assemble place the pavlova on a large platter or board, mound on top the whipped cream, scatter over the pears, drizzle generously with the salted caramel sauce & the melted chocolate. Take to the table & let everyone dive in & help themselves.
This is also my entry for this month's Sweet NZ being hosted by me 😊 All details here if you have some sweet treats!
Asparagus, how I love those tender green spears. They'll make at least one appearance a week at the dinner table until their season is over. They are not happy travellers so I always like to make the most of always too short season. And I always like to find some new ways to cook with them. This week over at I Heart Cooking Clubs it is all about in season, so asparagus was an obvious choice. Even better this another fast one!
Preheat a char-grill pan over high heat. Brush the asparagus with oil & sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook for a few minutes, until just charred. Allow to cool slightly & roughly chop. Place the asparagus in a food processor with the oil, parsley, garlic, anchovy fillets, parmesan, lemon zest & juice, salt & pepper & blitz until roughly chopped.
Set the pesto aside. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until al dente, with a little bite. Drain the pasta & reserve about 1 cup (250ml) of the cooking liquid.
Return the pasta to the saucepan with the pesto & reserved liquid & toss to combine. Divide between plates & top with a little extra sprinkling of parmesan & cracked pepper to serve.
Another speedy & tasty supper from Donna Hay & perfect for this weeks I Heart Cooking Club's In Season theme. This one is bright, fresh & satisfying, the char grilling adding a wonderful smokey sweet note.
This week over at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are all about the sandwich. Who doesn't love the versatile sandwich? I am certainly partial to that classic the cucumber sandwich & a personal favourite would be an egg mayonnaise sandwich. Perfect egg mayonnaise, so more egg than mayo & well seasoned with salt & a good dose of freshly ground black pepper for me. The freshest white bread & butter also requisites to make it the perfect sandwich. That brings me to another favourite; the bacon sandwich which also needs the freshest white bread & butter encasing crispy bacon.
This week I thought of maybe some sort of wrap or some sort of open sandwich & then I stumbled upon these bruschetta.
an Italian appetiser consisting of toasted bread slices drizzled with olive oil & usually topped with tomatoes and basil.
a sandwich served on only one slice of bread, without a covering slice.
So I reckon that means this bruschetta come crostini qualifies as a sandwich for this week's I Heart Cooking Clubs. It really is just one without a top, which is why this one caught my eye. Fresh bright pale green circles of zucchini flecked with red chilli, chives & lemon zest was just the ticket for a bright, fresh Spring supper. Reading further these were scattered over crispy grilled bread & feta & I was sold.
*these were originally bruschetta, I made them crostini & rubbed them with a little garlic before char grilling rather than raw garlic in amongst the zucchini . I also added a little mint as it works so well alongside the zucchini & used a little less oil.
1 French baguette, sliced on an angle.
Place the zucchini, chilli, garlic, chives, lemon zest, salt, pepper and oil in a bowl and mix to combine. Rub the garlic clove over the bread & drizzle with a little olive oil. Char grill stove top or pop in a 180C/350F oven for 10 minutes until golden. Top the bread with the feta & the zucchini mixture to serve.
Et voila, a quick, bright & fresh supper on the table in moments. The crispy bread wonderfully crunchy & the creamy, salty feta the perfect foil for the zucchini herbs & chilli. As little crostini these would be the perfect nibble for a summer BBQ.

Water Enforcement: Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality and Pulaski County Waste Transportation Services Operator Enter into Consent Administrative Order
The Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") and TAS Environmental Services, L.P. ("TAS") entered into a November 18th Consent Administrative Order ("CAO") addressing an alleged violation of Ark. Code Ann. § 8-4-217(a)(2).
The CAO provides that TAS operates waste transportation services located in Pulaski County, Arkansas.
DEQ is stated to have received a complaint that TAS dumped approximately 3,000 gallons of leachate into a dry drainage ditch on the side of an unnamed dirt road off Gravel Pit Road. The complaint is stated to have been received on June 29th.
The CAO further provides:
The leachate was observed to have traveled 180 feet from the point of discharge moving north in the dry drainage ditch, thence to the northeast into the surrounding woods, thence traveled 162 feet entering a dry creek bed, thence traveled 35 feet east in the dry creek bed. The act of releasing leachate into an unnamed tributary is a violation of Ark. Code Ann. § 8-4-217(a)(2) and therefore is a violation of Ark. Code Ann. § 8-4-217(a)(3).
TAS is stated to have used a vacuum truck on June 29th to remove the standing liquid from the dry drainage ditch and placed a boon to secure the site. It is also stated to have collected samples of the liquid for analysis and took photos of the affected areas.
Further, TAS is stated to have on June 30th:
. . . excavated all impacted areas. Four (4) soil samples were collected from various areas that were excavated and retained for analysis. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis of the soil and liquid samples established that the materials discharged were non-hazardous; the liquid sample was not analyzed for typical wastewater parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, or total suspended solids. DEQ personnel were on site during the aforementioned activities.
The CAO further describes complete excavation being completed and a determination that restoration of the site was complete.
Material Transport and Release Response training is stated to have been received by TAS's executives on July 12th. Further, other TAS employees are stated to be scheduled to received training by August 1st.
The Company was informed on July 26th that the site had been properly cleaned up.
A civil penalty of $6,400 is assessed which could have been reduced to $3,200 if the document was returned to DEQ within 20 calendar days of its receipt.

Andrew Zimmern: How a Food-Crazed Kid Became a Chef
By Andrew Zimmern Updated March 31, 2015
201109-a-zimmern-crab-shack.jpg
I was born and raised in New York. My family has been in New York City since the Civil War. I have a ton of NYC in my DNA, from both sides of my family. I had a wonderful childhood in the city.
Who had the biggest influence on you growing up?
My father. He was larger than life. He loved travel, eating, food culture, exploring. My parents divorced when I was six, but stayed close. My dad moved downtown—it was kismet—to the West Village, where he befriended John Clancy, the Balduccis, James Beard—there was a whole sort of food mafia in the West Village. I went with my father when I was seven to have brunch at Jim Beard's house. Stuff like that sticks with you. I see it now in my son. My wife and I do food-centric things when we travel. If parents get excited, so do kids.
What kind of food did you like eating growing up?
Even as a kid, I ventured out to ethnic restaurants all the time. We would go to Bo Bo's in Chinatown and eat squab and salted dried shrimp in lettuce. I also went outside Manhattan to the other boroughs. Manhattanites didn't do this in the 1960s. Brooklyn was a different country, Queens even more so.
How did you start working with food?
I worked summers on Long Island in restaurants. I wanted to be at the beach with girls during the day, so I worked in restaurants at night. By college, I had a fairly healthy alcohol and drug problem and couldn't handle school. I was at Vassar. So I took a semester off and went to Sarah Lawrence to keep my credits. I didn't have much to do after that, so I ended up cooking my way around Europe for nine months or so. Then I went back to school for another year, then I took another year off. I went to Asia, spent a couple of months cooking in hotels in Hong Kong. Then I came home again. I got a cheffing job for the summer working for Gloria Vanderbilt in Southampton. It was like running a small restaurant. It was a wonderful experience for me. Then I went back to school. After graduation, I had goodconnections and skills, so I dove into the food business.
What was your first job after graduating?
The summer after college I got a job as a chef at Conscience Point Inn in Southampton. I spent the summer on the water and cemented my expertise with seafood. I've always gravitated toward places that do seafood. I finally came back to New York City in the fall of 1984 with several chef jobs under my belt.

Nokia Files New Patent Infringement Complaint Against Apple
By Stephanie Rabiner, Esq. on March 31, 2011 6:47 AM
The smart phone war is being waged in the courts, and the Nokia-Apple battle is heating up.
The two phone manufacturers have been engaged in a patent dispute since 2009. Adding to the never-ending litigation, Nokia has added seven more allegedly infringed patents to its list this week.
The new complaints follow a ruling by a U.S. trade panel judge dismissing five others.
Cell phone manufacturing is a Nokia-Apple dominated market. Even though Nokia is slipping, it is the leading hardware manufacturer in number. However, Apple is the leading hardware manufacturer in revenue.
Over 40 Nokia patents, and 13 Apple patents, are currently in dispute, reports PCMag. The patent war is essentially Nokia's attempt to maintain its dominance.
Nokia charges that Apple is infringing on its patents "in virtually all of its products," reports The Wall Street Journal. The company further alleges that the disputed patents are being used create some of Apple's "key features."
What's fascinating about the Nokia-Apple patent dispute is that it plays into the current smart phone operating system battle between Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
Last month, Nokia decided to drop its own operating system and focus on its hardware technology. It chose to start equipping its phones with Microsoft's system as opposed to Google's Android, giving Microsoft a much needed boost in the operating system market.
The outcome in the Nokia-Apple patent dispute will certainly be impacting the manufacturer's ability to remain so large. In turn, the dispute will also help determine the future of who creates smart phone operating systems, their availability, and new technology.

Q: Android webview widget stuck on blank screen I want to have my VUE app on an Android app by using a webview. For such, I have found this project on github to view a URL.
I have deployed my VUE app on HERE to have it accessible.
Following the documentation from the Android project, I have modified couple of thins:

*

*On MainActivity.java, line 24, I have added my URL:
mWebView.loadUrl("https://albert.suments.com/estelares");

*On MyWebClient.java, line 15, I have modified the hostname variable to make prevent it to open URLs under that host on a browser:
hostname = "albert.suments.com";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
if (url.startsWith("file:") || uri.getHost() != null && uri.getHost().endsWith(hostname)) {
    return false;
}

With those values, when I run the app from Android Studio on a device, it gets stuck on a blank screen.
But, If I set the value as:
mWebView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com");
hostname = "google.com";
It shows the website correctly embebed on a Widget.

*

*Is there anything obvious that I might be missing?

UPDATE----------------------------------------
Here is the code for MyWebViewClient.java:
class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        String hostname;

        // YOUR HOSTNAME
        hostname = "albert.suments.com";
        url = "https://albert.suments.com/estelares";
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);

        if (url.startsWith("file:") || uri.getHost() != null && uri.getHost().endsWith(hostname)) {
        /**
         * It works correctly when:
         *     hostname = "google.com";
         *     url = "https://www.google.com";
         * It gets stuck on blank screen when:
         *     hostname = "albert.suments.com";
         *     url = "https://albert.suments.com/estelares";
         */
            return false;
        }

        /**
         *
         * When this code executes, it opens a new tab on the browser and display the web correctly
         */
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
        view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
        return true;

    }
}

Here is the code for MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private WebView mWebView;

    @Override
    @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mWebView = findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
        WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
        webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());

        // REMOTE RESOURCE
        mWebView.loadUrl("https://albert.suments.com/estelares");
        // LOCAL RESOURCE
        //mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if(mWebView.canGoBack()) {
            mWebView.goBack();
        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}

A: Here you go !!
Add this line
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
Letme know if it worked for you and mark this answer as corrected if it worked for you Thanks!

When the Lockscreen is the New Platform…
Filed Under B2B, Big Data, Blog, data analytics, Industry Analysis, internet, mobile content, news media, online advertising, Publishing, social media, Uncategorized, Workflow | Leave a Comment
Ah, the Theatre of the B2B marketplace! After two days at the Briefing Media Digital Media Strategies event, I feel I have seen every Shakespearian death rattle in the book. From noble senators quaffing the offered hemlock with disdain to the King falling publicly on his sword. Above all, the sense that honeyed words and sweet poison poured in the ear in the form of complacency in the face of extinction is a stoic exit in the context of inexorable change. O for some raging in the dying of the light!
Or perhaps I am being a bit too theatrical. There were positive elements and signs of a new industry appearing. But not in the ruins of the old, where playing the new game as if the old rules still mattered is disastrous. Take Piers North (Strategy Director, Trinity Mirror) and Stefan Bitzold (MD Digital, BILD). They told a panel on adblockers that it is all about Hard Power and Soft Power. The user must be told to behave. If not, the privilege of getting free or even paid for information will be withdrawn. This may make the audience in the room feel happy, but it avoids simple and inconvenient truth: the user is in control and not the supplier and this has been the case since 1993. And the news is now fully commoditised. If news vendors do not accept that, then Google AMP and Facebook Instant Articles should convince them.
Monty Python had a dead parrot. We had the "Boy Stood on the Burning Deck". Simon Fox, CEO of Trinity Mirror is such an evidently nice guy that one has to wonder what crimes in a previous life sentenced him to this. His counter strategy is to go back into print with his New Day product. Only eight ad slots and no classified. Written by men and women for women and men (this, apparently is a first!). They sold 150k at launch last week and have now increased the price to 25p en route to 50p. No need for a digital strategy here, because there is no digital. Hello, wake up and smell the coffee, it really is 1945 all over again! But Trinity Mirror have their presses to optimize, their editorial headcount is down to 25, quality maintenance must be a nightmare, and it's getting harder to maintain margins by cutting overheads. Consolidating LocalWorld (the regional papers of DMGT's Northcliffe) into Trinity Mirror's locals can again lead to consolidation to maintain margin, but has nobody noticed that while the newspaper market has leaked advertising and circulation for 20 years now, decline gets steeper towards the end? It may be too late now to rediscover what all those people on the commuter trains are doing on their smartphones in the morning.
Much less sad was David Pemsel, MD of the Guardian Group. Getting a global footprint for a liberal minded commentary on the news has plainly worked. He will use Google and Facebook as a channel to market for branded content. The problem here is a business strategy for holding the losses and satisfying the mandate of the Scott Trust to keep the not for profit going. Will membership do it? It's a hedge against the decline of advertising was the answer. Not too hopeful but at least there are options. Will print end soon? Possibly – a print free Guardian could be envisaged but not nearly yet. The game was more niche markets, more editions, more specialised writing directly at targeted audiences. The Guardian staff is over 900. It has major experiments in citizen journalism. It appears, as a nineteenth century creation, to be busily about its task of finding a new role for the 2050s. There will not be many survivors in the pasteurised news market – only the strongest brands with a reputation for accuracy and a twist on their commentary position can hope to do so.
Hope came from even more unlikely places. LADbible has a good value exchange position. I was disappointed that sex, celebrity and body shape came as low as fourth is its audience priority but with a reach of 150 m in the 13-24 age range, and with 30% of its readers female it seemed to have created a real niche in a wholly digital world. It's CEO, Mimi Turner came through Northern and Shell to this role, clearly a valuable apprenticeship in a market where communications must say it all in under 12 seconds, and the vital frontline is 6 seconds of attention span. so the notification to the Lockscreen does become the vital attention grabber. But no print heritage here to worry about, and a declining amount at Immediate Media. Francois-Regis Coumau, Group Managing Director, is ex-eBay, so obviously sees no problem about buying a TV merchandising channel for selling jewellery and creating a web presence around it. All media plays, using the best way or combination of ways to reach specialised audiences, suits the old BBC Magazines and Magicalia group, another rare example of post-print life after death.
But, alas, life in the morgue went on relentlessly. Duncan Painter, CEO of Ascential (sorry, it will always be EMAP to me however many times they change its name) told us he was only 4% ad dependent. And now, just before the recent float, he had turned off all print, since it was now an "unviable platform". 80% of subscribers at that point were digital. But the larger issue looming over the conversation concerned the decision to abandon all print, even that which still makes money. Did that sweeten the float by suggesting that all legacy problems had been resolved? And why would you float 43% (post debt some 25%) if you could sell it? Or is this one of those instances where failure to sell at a premium to a third party resolves into using the public markets and the private investor as a fall back position?
And the last interment, given the high hopes when Ashley Highfield went to Johnston Press, was sad for some listeners like me. Jack Moriarty, Chief Digital Officer, made a game showing, but failed to explain to me at least why this group bought the Independent's I newspaper for £24m. And the idea that they cannot use Independent or Evening Standard derived material digitally adds to the queries. The idea that users will accept copy branded Scotsman or Yorkshire Post in its place seems very odd, even if these brands had any resonance to a smartphone user of a service like this. A glance had their new service developments like wow24/7 also fails to reassure. It makes LADbible look sparkling! Where is the Alfred Lord Northcliffe of our times who will rethink the connection between content, aspiration and media? Unfortunately his name is Zuckerberg and he does not work on the Northern Echo.
This was a combative and vital meeting of DMS. In my country village childhood funerals were always red letter days. But we know that when print declines, it goes slowly for years then plunges rapidly towards the end. I expect soon to attend all digital meetings here in a sector which is consolidating rapidly around a workflow and data analytics driven view of the world. News is vital there, but only when it changes something, and the user reading it may be less important than the machine knowing it.

The factors to consider with playing online casinos
Posted on May 8, 2020 April 30, 2020
Beforehand, people just knew two general sorts of games indoor games and outside games. Associated with the overview of indoor games are those that are played under a housetop, for instance, scrabble, chess, conundrums and others while outside games, for instance, football, soccer, volleyball, baseball and others require either a ground or a significant field to play. Do you now that in the past events, these indoor and outside games moreover did not exist? In any case, considering the way that people keep scanning for something new, different sorts of gambling were made.
With the happening to PC and various devices, the prerequisite for another sort of gambling, something that is amazingly not exactly equivalent to what existed before ended up being progressively indisputable. Various creators felt this need and they jumped into making something that would give a substitute kind of gambling that will consider all interests and tendencies of different people. By virtue of their consistent undertakings, it put aside no push to change their dreams into this present reality and with another adjustment of gambling. This new sort must be played with PCs and TV. Notwithstanding the way this is the circumstance, the omnipresence of games under this sort took off high as they profoundly propelled people taking everything into account. In any case, next to the PC and TV which are customary to various nuclear families these days, the sorts of games played under this sort require different kinds of machines and 더킹카지노 supports which are very expensive and could not be overseen by the people who are less rich and prosperous. It is ridiculous to a couple in case they would not be permitted to acknowledge mind boggling games basically in light of the fact that they could not deal with the expense of the exorbitant machines and gadgets expected to play the games. This is where another kind of gambling comes into the picture.
Playing on the web is the example nowadays. You do not need to spend a fortune for some exorbitant machines and gadgets to have a huge amount of fun and delight. All you need is your PC and clearly, a passageway to the Internet and you are set to make some incredible memories. What makes this sort dynamically notable is that it allows any individual to acknowledge while saving himself from stress. Playing out different errands in gambling club is moreover learned and cleaned by playing on the web. You can work, visit on the phone, and do various things while playing. All these should be conceivable at the same time. What's more, playing web games empowers a person to develop the spirit of sportsmanship, contention and sureness considering the way that not in the slightest degree like playing on machines and gadgets wherein a player battles with a virtual opponent, in online gambling, the player fights with a veritable individual on the web.

How to Shop for a Diamond Engagement Ring
Kit Dillon
A reader recently wrote us asking for help navigating the engagement ring market. The way he phrased the question shows you just how complex and intimidating a first look at this market can be: "I'm expecting to get taken for a ride here, but some navigation on the like seven different measures of quality on diamonds would be amazing. Do I buy online? Should I avoid chain jewelers? Should I only buy from chain jewelers?"
I'm writing this reply to him about a month after getting engaged, and I recently asked many of the same questions myself. Up front, I should say that I'm not an expert in this field, I've never worked in the jewelry business, and my qualifications for writing this come mainly from the weeks I spent researching my own purchase earlier this year. The first thing I learned? Buying a diamond is hard. It's generally an expensive purchase, full of obscure terminology and unclear answers, and the only "experts" are also the ones trying to sell you something. What's worse, you've never had to purchase anything like this before. It's a good combination to make you feel a bit like a rube.
Almost everyone teaching you about diamonds is also trying to sell you diamonds.
To answer the question, I spoke with David Whipple and his small team of jewelers who I trusted with my own ring. Whipple has been in business for decades and is well-respected within the industry. I also spoke with representatives of online jewelry retailer Brilliant Earth to better understand the somewhat brave new world of online ring shopping.
I hope the following can help.
Where should I buy my diamond?
You'll probably want to avoid the major chain jewelers like Jared/Kay/Signet/Zales. Signet was in the news several times over the summer for losing rings or replacing quality stones with inferior ones during cleaning and sizing. Signet says these incidents were rare. The point is: Every bit of advice on the Internet that I've found suggests to avoid the big retail chain stores. That's not to say that local jewelers are perfect either—but with a smaller shop you are more likely to have a personal relationship with the jeweler and to know who's choosing and setting the stone, that person's qualifications, and who to turn to with problems down the line. But regardless, you have to trust someone with this investment, and invariably that person will know more than you, which is not a great position to be in. Almost everyone teaching you about diamonds is also trying to sell you diamonds or push you to someone who sells diamonds. It's unavoidable.
A gold ring straight from casting looks a lot rougher than you'd expect.
The best thing you can do to educate yourself and make a satisfying buy is to read reviews carefully and go with your gut instinct. For local recommendations, Yelp, neighborhood email lists, or neighborhood Facebook posts can all be great places to turn. You may also want to ask friends for names of jewelers they've had good experiences with. Go to a place that'll give you lifetime repairs and cleaning if you can.
Once you've settled on a jeweler, here are some additional details to find out:
Does your jeweler do their own work in the shop? It's a good sign if they do.
How long have they worked in the business? If they're new, do they have business or apprenticeship references?
Are they insured? If so, by who? Can you find out information about this insurer?
The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certifies diamond appraisers. It's not necessary to work with a certified appraiser, because your diamond should come with its own certificate, but some jewelers have completed these courses and that extra knowledge can be reassuring.
Where does your jeweler source their other metals from? Do they use an independent metal assayer to assure their metal blends are what they say they are? Regardless, you should get your finished ring independently appraised.
Always shop around and walk away from anything that feels like a hard sell.
You can also purchase your diamonds online. I originally bought a diamond online and was overall very happy with the experience. I purchased a loose stone from Brilliant Earth. The site's interface was simple to use. Slider bars allowed me to set my desired criteria and select among its stock of diamonds that fit the grade. I could also see the diamond's origin and the certifying authority. Brilliant Earth provides a 30-day money-back guarantee with free return shipping that you can use once on any item that isn't custom made, including loose stones. It's an option I exercised and it was remarkably painless.
If you aren't comfortable with a loose stone, you can also choose a fully set ring, though it introduces even more variables, and the full ring may not be exactly what you expected from the images. A loose stone, on the other hand, should have enough stats to go on (e.g., rating, size, color, cut) to add up to a fairly predictable object.
One reason I went with a site like Brilliant Earth (another option was Blue Nile) is that both work to avoid conflict diamonds and to support responsible mining methods. From what I've read, these sources are trustworthy—but I'm no expert, and as this feature in Time magazine points out, it's very complicated and hard to know who to believe. If you're determined to have an ethically sourced diamond that avoids conflict and unfair labor practices, and is at least somewhat environmentally conscious, diamonds mined in Canada and synthetic diamonds are your best options.
Get to know your local jeweler, they may make your visit a memorable one.
What are the four C's?
Every aspect for the so-called four C's (five, actually, once you include cost) is complex, which seems by design. I've prioritized the four C's, in accordance with advice from the jewelers at David Whipple Jewelry.
Cost: Don't kid yourself, a diamond is not an investment. It is a retail product. It rarely gains value, and if you need to sell it, you probably won't be able to get what you paid for it. Figure out what you can afford before you consider anything else and stick to that number! Don't worry about the "X-months' salary" multiplier figure that says you should spend between one- to three-months' salary on a ring. That was all a marketing gimmick from diamond company De Beers anyway.
A diamond's color is its most important characteristic.
Color: Brilliance, or sparkle, is the heart of a diamond. According to the jewelers at David Whipple, a diamond's color is its most important characteristic. Color is graded on a scale of D through Z. A higher grade of color (e.g., D through F) will more than make up for any other corners you decide to cut elsewhere. One thing to consider, the type of metal you want to make your ring out of may change your decision. For instance, slightly colored (and slightly less expensive) diamonds graded G through I could be complemented and enhanced by a yellow-gold setting. But be especially aware of anyone trying to sell you a so-called "Champagne Diamond"; these are often inferior stones.
Clarity: Clarity is a measure of what types of "inclusions" (flaws) are visible in the stone and is graded on a scale from Flawless (FL) through Included (I₃) . Most people can't discern a difference between the top grades of diamond clarity with the naked eye. A Flawless (FL) diamond and a Very Slightly Included (VS₂) diamond can look nearly identical, despite a VS₂ diamond being several grades lower in clarity. Save your money by shaving off a few points here. However, a diamond's brilliance is directly related to its clarity, so don't go too far down the scale.
Cut: The cut of a diamond expresses how well that stone reflects light through its crown. According to the GIA, "Of all the diamond 4Cs, it is the most complex and technically difficult to analyze." Though this characteristic used to be the most important, most original cutting is done by machine now and calculated to be as high a grade as the raw stone will allow. The standardization removes much of the guesswork. And although it's tempting, my advice is to not get too bogged down in the details of proportion. Focus on the rating grade, but don't freak out about all the ways that grade is achieved. Excellent is best, of course, but a fair or good diamond will still shine brightly if the color and clarity grades are high.
Carat: This is the easiest C to reduce. A diamond does not need to be large to be beautiful. If you can, avoid the price jumps at full and half carat marks. You won't be able to tell the difference between a .95 and a 1 carat diamond or a .48 and .50 carat. This printout from Brilliant Earth (PDF) accurately represents diamond size and carat weight and can help guide your decision.
What about conflict diamonds?
Ethical and sustainably sourced diamonds were once much rarer to find. But, as more and more retailers move in this direction, you have almost no excuse for not knowing your diamond's origin, and the additional associated costs for that knowledge are negligible. The Kimberley Process Certification was devised in 2003 to end the trade of so-called "conflict diamonds." Eighty countries currently participate in the process. The Kimberley process has flaws, though. It can still be evaded by diamond smugglers, and the limited scope of "conflict-free" certification ignores unfair, unsafe, or inhumane mining practices, which are still a problem within the industry.
Last year, Time magazine wrote a cover story about the diamond trade and the steps taken to avoid conflict diamonds and outlined the issues that remain within the industry. This excellent advice column explains how to buy ethical diamonds beyond the limited scope of Kimberley Process Certification.
Alternatives exist as well. Cubic zirconia or Moissanite stones are well-known. But lab-grown, or synthetic, diamonds are also becoming popular as both ecologically and ethically sound alternatives to mined diamonds. It's easy to know the source of a diamond grown in a lab. Though they take energy to produce, it's significantly less energy than goes into diamond mining. Depending on size and characteristics, they may be notably cheaper than a mined diamond, too.

What about shape and settings?
Shape can also affect a diamond's brilliance. But because that's largely a matter of personal preference we're not going to dive too deeply into it. If you want to know more about the pros and cons of each of the 10 most common cuts, Lumera Diamonds has a remarkably clear explanation here. Rounds are the industry standard though and tend to be the most brilliant. They are usually used as the example shape in online presentations and are the easiest to resell.
As for settings, prong settings (or Tiffany settings) are very popular, in part because they show off the complete body of the diamond. But they're not the most secure, and they need to be periodically tightened and realigned (a reputable jeweler should do this for you free of charge as part of the purchase), to reduce the risk of the diamond coming loose.
Although people can argue the aesthetics, a bezel setting is simply the most secure setting. If you have an active lifestyle, are worried about losing a stone, or paranoid about your stone being swapped out by an unscrupulous jeweler, this is your best option. According to Whipple, "A skilled jeweler can swap a diamond out of a prong setting in a matter of minutes. A bezel could take hours."
Invisible settings are the weakest of all. They are difficult to mount and difficult to repair, and you're practically begging to lose stones from this kind of setting. If you're determined to buy an invisible setting, make sure you have a lifetime guarantee. You're going to need it.
If you're not 100 percent sure of the band or setting your partner would like, some jewelers will mount the diamond in a solitaire band for free, and you and your intended can go ring shopping together to pick something that'll be perfect.
What are all these ratings and agencies, and who is GIA?
Any reputable dealer will be able to provide you with a diamond rating from an independent lab. GIA (Gemological Institute of America) is known as the standard and most trustworthy lab in existence. It, along with De Beers, is also the pioneer of the four C's, which sought to create an international grading language for diamonds.
Labs AGS and EGL USA, though also used by the wholesale industry to rate diamonds, are not considered as irrefutable as GIA. This probably won't be an issue because most sellers offer GIA reports for their diamonds, but it is something to be aware of.
Ready to propose?
For stealth, if you're considering a proposal that will require you to carry the ring somewhere, these slim ring boxes are becoming popular and are easy to conceal.
The one thing I wish I did before the proposal was practice a little bit. I didn't think about how tongue-tied I would become as I knelt down looking up at the person I loved. I had a world of things to say but managed only, "Will you marry me?"
Apparently, it was enough.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Franmil Reyes homered with two outs in the 13th inning to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night.
Reyes connected off Bryan Shaw (4-6) for his 12th homer. It was only the sixth hit for San Diego. The Rockies had only three hits.
Robert Stock (1-1) pitched three innings for the win.
The Padres took a 2-0 lead in the second when Austin Hedges hit his first career triple to bring in Renfroe and then scored on Freddy Galvis' sacrifice fly.


We featured you in 2013, wow so much can happen in 5 years. Not only did you start classes for stylists. You have dvds, vitamins, oil, almost 600k followers on Instagram, noticeable weight loss. You also started a movement to help women love, care for and wear their hair.
How did you accomplish so much?
Jasmine: I accomplished these things by building a great team. Team work makes the dream work.
We support your stand on hair care but we are not totally against weaves. Do you think greed/lack of education is the reason why so many stylists have continued to weave clients even after seeing the damage/alopecia it has caused?
Jasmine: Bingo. But neither am I anti-weave. It's really the lack of education and from the average stylist being complacent. And also not knowing when to switch over to the next level of their career.
In your opinion should clients ever wear weaves?
Jasmine: I wouldn't say they shouldn't wear weaves, but I believe in doing things in moderation and if you are wearing weaves more than wearing your real hair that is a major issue. Braiding, smothering, and tension is the enemy, which is an proven fact over the last 15 years plus. People not realizing the braiding is another form of tweezing and the more you pull your hair from the follicle the more those follicles are deaden.
Some clients are wearing weaves for decades fully aware of hair loss. At what point is the client responsible?
Jasmine: I believe the client is responsible when the client notices the hair loss but continues to put weave in their hair due to convenience and laziness.
The natural hairdressers feel that relaxers are just as damaging if not more than weaves, what's your response to that?
Jasmine: Its all about the texture of someone hair. I'm big on texture. Texture is the deciding factor on whether or not relaxers are for you. Just because your natural does not mean your hair is healthy and relaxer is not the enemy. Think back 20 years ago when relaxers were prominate and people were going to salons every 2 weeks and had heads full of hair. Then everyone ran from relaxers and ran toward to the weaves, wigs, and braids is why hair loss is at its peak today.
How has success changed you?
Jasmine: My success has made more comfortable with being more public and out in the forefront.
Has success changed how people treat you?
Jasmine: Success has definitely changed how people treat me. It has gotten me into places and amongst people I would have never imagined and also has pulled me from the people and things I no longer have time for.
What's next for Razor Chic?
Jasmine: Being more of an educator and going digital.
Jasmine: How God used me and my gift to change the beauty industry.

    A server is defined by a request callback that takes an HTTPRequest
    instance as an argument and writes a valid HTTP response with
    `HTTPRequest.write`. `HTTPRequest.finish` finishes the request (but does
    not necessarily close the connection in the case of HTTP/1.1 keep-alive
    requests). A simple example server that echoes back the URI you
    requested::

    `HTTPServer` is a very basic connection handler. Beyond parsing the
    HTTP request body and headers, the only HTTP semantics implemented

    implement chunked encoding, so the request callback must provide a
    ``Content-Length`` header or implement chunked encoding for HTTP/1.1
    requests for the server to run correctly for HTTP/1.1 clients. If
    the request handler is unable to do this, you can provide the
    ``no_keep_alive`` argument to the `HTTPServer` constructor, which will
    ensure the connection is closed on every request no matter what HTTP
    version the client is using.

    If ``xheaders`` is ``True``, we support the ``X-Real-Ip`` and ``X-Scheme``
    headers, which override the remote IP and HTTP scheme for all requests.
    These headers are useful when running Tornado behind a reverse proxy or
    load balancer.

    `HTTPServer` can serve SSL traffic with Python 2.6+ and OpenSSL.
    To make this server serve SSL traffic, send the ssl_options dictionary
    argument with the arguments required for the `ssl.wrap_socket` method,
    including "certfile" and "keyfile"::

       HTTPServer(applicaton, ssl_options={
           "certfile": os.path.join(data_dir, "mydomain.crt"),
           "keyfile": os.path.join(data_dir, "mydomain.key"),
       })

    initialization methods are defined on `tornado.netutil.TCPServer`):

    1. `~tornado.netutil.TCPServer.listen`: simple single-process::

            server = HTTPServer(app)
            server.listen(8888)
            IOLoop.instance().start()

       In many cases, `tornado.web.Application.listen` can be used to avoid
       the need to explicitly create the `HTTPServer`.

    2. `~tornado.netutil.TCPServer.bind`/`~tornado.netutil.TCPServer.start`:
       simple multi-process::

            server = HTTPServer(app)
            server.bind(8888)
            server.start(0)  # Forks multiple sub-processes
            IOLoop.instance().start()

       When using this interface, an `IOLoop` must *not* be passed
       to the `HTTPServer` constructor.  `start` will always start
       the server on the default singleton `IOLoop`.

    3. `~tornado.netutil.TCPServer.add_sockets`: advanced multi-process::

            sockets = tornado.netutil.bind_sockets(8888)
            tornado.process.fork_processes(0)
            server = HTTPServer(app)
            server.add_sockets(sockets)
            IOLoop.instance().start()

       The `add_sockets` interface is more complicated, but it can be
       used with `tornado.process.fork_processes` to give you more
       flexibility in when the fork happens.  `add_sockets` can
       also be used in single-process servers if you want to create
       your listening sockets in some way other than
       `tornado.netutil.bind_sockets`.

Named the Jesto, after the company's founding father, the new Koenigsegg is an engineering marvel, capable of hitting speeds so high that it can theoretically cover an entire football field in less than a second.
Koenigsegg unveiled the car at the Geneva Motor Show on Thursday, where it showcased its exterior and interior to petrol-heads from around the globe. Only 125 units of this car will ever be made and 90 of them have already been pre-sold. The car itself costs an eye-watering $2.8 million dollars, with Koenigsegg stating that they will leave Switzerland with all the orders booked!
The Jesto houses a 5-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that has the capability of producing 1,280 fire breathing horsepower on regular gasoline. Interestingly enough, it has the lightest crankshaft ever put into a hyper-car, weighing only 12.5 kg.
In such a diverse market, where super, hyper and ultra-cars exist, Koenigsegg has once again proven to be one to look out for as they have pushed the boundaries of car engineering to the next level. As always, Koenigsegg has made a car that is superbly stunning to look at and checks all the right boxes as an amazing poster car.
However, those who have been lucky enough to order such a car will have to wait, as the deliveries are expected in early 2021.

Q: Delphi RTTI & C++ This post continues from a question at C++ Builder Journal Forum with the help of Remy Lebeau. My problem is a lack of understanding about the Delphi RTTI and how to use it in C++ Builder. There is a lot of documentation of how to use the RTTI to get type information etc but not so much how to use it for discovery.
From my understanding the below should setup the methods within for RTTI discovery:
class DELPHICLASS MyClass : public MyOtherClass
{
   public:
     //Methods...
   __published:
     //Methods...
}

This is my class at the moment which overrides the virtual methods in the interface UIAlertViewDelegate in the Embarcadero iOS API iOSapi.UIKit.hpp.
class DELPHICLASS TAlertViewDelegate : public TOCLocal, public UIAlertViewDelegate
{
    typedef Macapi::Objectivec::TOCLocal inherited;
    INTFOBJECT_IMPL_IUNKNOWN(TOCLocal);
    public:
        virtual void __cdecl alertView(_di_UIAlertView alertView, aarch_int_t clickedButtonAtIndex);
        virtual void __cdecl alertViewCancel(_di_UIAlertView alertView);
        virtual void __cdecl didPresentAlertView(_di_UIAlertView alertView);
        virtual void __cdecl alertViewDidDismissWithButtonIndex(_di_UIAlertView alertView, aarch_int_t didDismissWithButtonIndex);
};

However when I create an instance of this class and allocate it on the heap using:
_di_UIAlertViewDelegate Delegate = (UIAlertViewDelegate *)new TAlertViewDelegate();

I am getting a Delphi related RTTI error:

First chance exception at $00158015. Exception class EObjectiveC with message 'RTTI for type UIAlertViewDelegate was not found.  Perhaps missing {$M+}?'. Process Delegates (250202)

Changing my class methods from public to __published get rid of this error but cause an Access Violation, but looking at the call stack what is happening is:

*

*TOCLocal Constructor Called

*TRttiType GetMethods Called

*Read Method Data

*Read Extended Method Data

*Read Object

*Read Object Pointer

*Read Object (again)

*Create TRTTIInstanceMethodClassic

*Access Violation

Clearly there is something wrong here with the RTTI as it is crashing after it is trying to get Method information? Could anyone with experience possibly help here?

Stewart-Haas Racing Extends Partnership with Atlas Copco North America
27 Aug 2015	Speedway Digest Staff
Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), the title-winning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team co-owned by three-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, founder of Haas Automation – the largest CNC machine tool builder in North America, has extended its partnership with Parsippany, New Jersey-based Atlas Copco North America.
"It's my job to make sure our guys have all the tools and equipment they need to do their job at the highest level," said Greg Zipadelli, vice president of competition, SHR. "It's always about getting it done faster and more efficiently. Atlas Copco helps us do just that with the equipment they provide our teams."
Atlas Copco has served as SHR's official compressed air supplier since the team's inception in 2009 and has grown to become a technical partner of the organization.
"Atlas Copco has enjoyed a longstanding and successful partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing since 2009," said Erik Arfalk, vice president of communications, Atlas Copco. "We're also proud to serve as the official compressed air provider of the Stewart-Haas Racing facility, helping to ensure their racecars are ready for the track each week."
Last season, Atlas Copco Compressors LLC, located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, provided new compressed air equipment and installed its SMARTLINK monitoring technology into SHR's new, state-of-the-art race shop expansion located adjacent to the team's existing headquarters in Kannapolis, North Carolina. SMARTLINK provides 24/7 remote monitoring of the team's compressed air system to ensure continuous uptime and peak performance.
"As a technical partner, we ensure the Stewart-Haas Racing facility's compressed-air equipment is up and running efficiently so compressed air is available whenever it's needed," said Arfalk. "We're proudly supporting the team's driver lineup as it contends for another championship in 2015."

Juventus Football Club can today confirm that an agreement has been reached with Chelsea for the loan of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado Bello until 30 June 2019, for an annual consideration of €5 million.
Juventus has the right to acquire the player on a permanent basis, or will be obliged to upon the achievement of agreed team results during the loan period, for a fee of €25 million, payable in three financial years, minus the loan fees already paid.
Should Juventus achieve certain sporting results during the player's contract of employment, the club will owe Chelsea an additional €4 million in contingent payments.
Upon joining from Chelsea last summer, the Colombian took little time in establishing himself as a firm favourite among Bianconeri fans. After all, it was Juan's sliding finish at Juventus Stadium on Halloween night against Torino that brought the home faithful to its feet and earned his team the first of an astonishing 15 victories throughout the winter to seize control of the title race.
It is moments like that – sure to live long in the memories of all that were there to witness it – that will ensure supporters welcome back the winger with open arms.
Ever a man for the big occasion, Cuadrado's most recent gift for the Old Lady was just as dramatic – an inch-perfect assist for Alvaro Morata in May's cup final triumph over Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In between, the 28-year old would register crucial Serie A strikes past Frosinone, Genoa and Palermo, not to mention a remarkably cool contender for goal of the season against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, but focusing only on Juan's penalty-box contributions would be somewhat limiting, such was the scale of his impact on the champions.
Moulded into a multi-purpose wing-back over the course of the campaign, the trickster topped the Juventus charts for free-kicks claimed by some distance (88), completed successful dribbles with greater frequency than his colleagues (one every 24 minutes), all while creating a scoring opportunity once every 47 minutes, second only to fellow South American Alex Sandro (36).
Ultimately, football is a game to be celebrated and Juan's infectious flair, flamboyancy, passion and perserverance have ensured that Bianconeri fans the world over have done just that ever since sparkling on to the Turin scene last summer.
It is with great pleasure that all associated with Juventus Football Club welcome back Juan for the upcoming campaign and wish him further success in the black and white.


As Lent gives way to Easter, the décor of our churches changes. Gone are the stark colors and sparse decorations and in come flowers and brighter color. While the flowers wilt, one constant throughout the Easter Season is the great paschal candle.
The paschal candle normally remains at the baptismal font and is placed near the remains of a Christian whose funeral is being celebrated. During the 50-day Easter celebration the candle is displayed prominently in the sanctuary, normally next to the ambo from which the Word of God is proclaimed.
After a cross is cut into the edge of the candle, the Greek alphabetical letters Alpha and Omega are traced above and below the vertical cross beam. Then the anno domini is writ¬ten around the cross: 2-0-1-5. Finally five nails, called "incense grains" are inserted into the candle, representing the five wounds of Christ.
The candle is then lit and carried into a darkened church to three repetitions of, "Lumen Christi," "the Light of Christ." After the candle is placed into its impressive stand, a priest, deacon, or cantor tell the congregation what the big fuss is all about. The "Exsultet," a hymn of praise sing in honor of the candle, is chanted.
It is in the Exsultet that the mean¬ing of the candle is made eloquently clear. The candle represents the light of the true Passover, not from one city to another as of old, but from death to life. The hymn reminds believers that Easter is the true feast of Passover, the very same on which the Lord lead the Israelites from slavery into freedom.
The candle is called the "pillar of fire." The Old Testament accounts of the Exodus event do reveal that a pillar of fire led the Israelites through the desert. Exodus 13 says, "the Lord preceded them, in the daytime by means of a column of cloud to show them the way, and at night by means of a column of fire to give them light." It was this column that helped the Israelites cross the Red Sea.
This column of fire is praised throughout the Old Testament writ¬ings as the surest sign of God's presence with His chosen people. Each Easter this is renewed for those who wish to follow Christ through the true exodus in this world into the true Promised Land of heaven.
The Easter candle is one of the most ancient Christian symbols. The Light of Christ, who is the Alpha, Omega, beginning and end, never goes outdated. Every age needs hope and the resurrection will never grow stale. God's love reaches every corner of this world and through every year of our lives.


"Our faith traditions tell us that 'blessed are the merciful,' but it's not merciful to require the dying to suffer senselessly. Denying the dying person the freedom to end unnecessary, meaningless suffering is far from merciful; rather, it's torturous. Torture in any form is morally wrong." Portland Press Herald 26/11.
In our own country, an increasing number of clerics of different Christian denominations speak out against the cruelty of forcing a dying person to suffer. To cite just one example, Anglican Assistant Bishop of Auckland Jim White and his two clerical co-authors made a submission to the Justice select committee favouring assisted dying under controlled circumstances.
If 70% of New Zealanders want voluntary euthanasia/assisted dying to be legalised and only 42% are declared non-believers (census 2013), that leaves 28% who have faith affiliations but who are at odds with their fundamentalist dogmas prohibiting it.
This new wave of religious compassion blended with human experience holds hope for us all.
