Noma wins world's best restaurant as Denmark claims top two spots | Restaurants
Copenhagen has confirmed its reputation as the global dining destination of the moment after its top eateries finished first and second in the 2021 World's 50 Best Restaurants awards, widely considered the Oscars of gastronomy.
The new Noma from the chef René Redzepi, famed for his foraging and fermenting techniques, was named best restaurant at a ceremony in Antwerp, Belgium, on Tuesday night. The old one topped the list in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 and came second in 2019.
"No trip to Noma is ever the same," the citation said, mentioning highlights from previous seasons including a vegetarian celeriac shawarma and a duck dish of leg, brain and heart served with "claw, feather and beak".
William Drew, the director of content for the World's 50 Best Restaurants, said Noma had "arguably been the most influential restaurant of its generation, setting new standards in terms of research and ingredient sourcing, dish development and presentation".
Staff at Noma – whose current "game & forest season" menu costs 2,800 Danish kroner (£320), plus 1,800 kroner for the accompanying wines, and according to social media posts features raw sumac, bear and reindeer brain – exploded with joy at the news.
The annual list is voted on by more than 1,000 gastronomes including food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and international culinary experts, who this year awarded second place to another Michelin three-star Copenhagen eatery, Geranium.
Its current 16-course "autumn universe" menu created by Rasmus Kofoed features artichoke leaves and pickled walnut, squid, melted smoked lard, essence of yeast, potatoes and quail with thyme seeds, berries and pickled pine.
Noma has been the flagship of "New Nordic" cuisine since 2004, when Redzepi and the restaurant's co-founder, Claus Meyer, joined 10 other Nordic chefs in publishing a 10-point manifesto aimed at developing the region's "authentic cuisine".
The manifesto emphasised "purity, simplicity and freshness", urged a predominance of seasonal and hyperlocal foods, and encouraged restaurants to develop traditional Nordic fish and meat recipes by reviving and adapting older techniques such as marinating, smoking and salting.
Native ingredients such as foraged herbs, cloudberries and local shellfish were combined with exotic additions such as wild reindeer blood, ants and cricket paste, creating culinary headlines worldwide and sparking a wave of successful restaurant openings that included Geranium, which opened in 2007.
Melina Shannon-DiPietro, the executive director of MAD (Danish for food), a foundation founded in 2011 by Redzepi with the aim of transforming the restaurant business and hospitality and forcing fundamental change in food systems, said the awards had sparked "incredible pride" in Denmark.
"In fact, both chefs would probably say they were now moving beyond New Nordic," she said. "The principles still apply, of course: they're united by a real respect for nature, which obviously changes food fundamentally, but also by collaboration, and by wanting to be the best workplace – for employees, producers, the environment."
She said the movement's success had attracted "amazingly international teams" to Nordic kitchens, creating "a new spirit of open-mindedness, a willingness to explore and blur boundaries, an awareness of being in a global community". New Nordic was still true to its principles, but evolving, she said.
Noma picked up a coveted third Michelin star this year, with praise for its "strong connection to nature and holistic approach … which sees unusual seasonal ingredients showcased in creative and complex dishes."
No award was given last year because of the pandemic, and this year's title means Noma, which first opened in the Danish capital's Christianshavn district in 2003, is level with Ferran Adrià's El Bulli for the most top finishes.
A rule introduced in 2019 in principle prevents previous winners, including Eleven Madison Park in New York, Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck in Bray, UK, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, and Mirazur in Menton, France, from competing, but Noma qualified because it closed in 2016, reopening at a new address and with a different concept two years later.

Despite a judging panel made up of 50% men and 50% women, the list drew criticism, as in previous years, for featuring "male-dominant, European-heavy, expensive tasting-menu restaurants", with just four restaurants in the top 50 headed by female chefs – one fewer than in 2019..
A third New Nordic restaurant, Frantzèn in Stockholm, placed sixth, while two Spanish restaurants, Asador Extebarri in Axpe and Disfrutar in Barcelona, finished in the top five. Central and Maido in Lima, Peru were also in the top 10, with two well-known Paris restaurants, Arpège and Septime, in the top 25.
In the UK, the Clove Club ("'modern British' creations that put forward natural flavours and playfully mingle with tradition") and Lyle's ("a short and sweet micro-seasonal menu … showcasing what's best on any given day in London and the UK"), both in London, finished 32nd and 33rd respectively.

Peter O'Neill
The new track arrives on April 14.
Lizzo revealed last night on The Late Late Show with James Corden that she will release a new single on April 14.
'About Damn Time' was announced as the three-time Grammy award-winning pop star promoted her upcoming Amazon Prime show Big Grrrls.
The track could be the first new music from her long-awaited follow-up to her hit album Cuz I Love You, a record featuring multiple chart-topping hits.
Hot Press' review in 2019 described a record that "incorporates everything from indie-rock to rap and R&B, Cuz I Love You is even greater than the sum of its parts."
"Jump on the Lizzo train now if you somehow haven't already – this woman is well on her way to the top."
In other Lizzo news, her new show that premieres this Friday is a reality series about her search for her next backup dancer.
It's described as a "diversity-focused reality TV show", with the trailer available to watch here.

« A handy detailed guide to UKIP's policies on the main problems facing Britain today:
UKIP's Alliance with the Extreme Right in the European Parliament »
Radical Balladry, and Songs of Protest, Folk and Punk
I posted a few pieces this week on Rob Young's Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music (London: Faber & Faber 2010) and radical and Socialist British folk song and verse, including examples from the 19th century. This started an interesting debate between Untynewear and Jess over the nature of radical folk song, its influence and its appeal today compared to other genres.
Untynewear commented that the folk music he tried after reading Young's book was largely too twee for his tastes, and was too middle class, 'nice music for nice people', for which he blamed the very middle class folk music collectors like Cecil Sharp. It's a fair point, as after the raw energy and nihilistic rage of punk, some British folk music can indeed seem safe and twee, celebrating an idealised bucolic idyll that never existed except in the minds of Conservative Romantics and urban city dwellers. You consider all the jokes about Morris dancing. The new masses of the rapidly expanding Victorian towns reacted against the horrors of the new mass industrial society while unaware of the grinding poverty and squalor that also existed in the countryside, and which forced their parents and grandparents to move to the city to find work in the first place.
In response, Jess pointed out that some of the folk bands and artists did recover and perform the angry, radical songs of the past. She recommended in particular Ashley Hutchings' Albion Band, who had 'recorded 'Battle of the Field' a couple of years before punk, but inspired many later bands such as the Levellers and The Men……"
And his 'Kicking Up the Sawdust', 1977, with Bob Cann, though not overtly political, can hold its own in any musical company.'
She also points out that there was a considerable difference at the time between the point of view of the collectors of the songs and dances, with some being far more radical in their beliefs and the material they collected. She writes:
As Gergina Boyes points out, there was quite an ideological battle went on within the ;'collectors' (one that paralleled the arguments between the Jacobin John Ritson and tory Walter Scott in the 1790′s) . If you look at the work of Frank Kidson you will find an entirely different attitude to the music and the people who made it than the one held by Sharp and his cohorts.
She also pointed out that the people composing and performing the music were largely ignored by the middle classes and the music industry:
Despite the polite interest from above, the people who made the music, just carried on doing so. Fortunately some of it was recorded (try Veteran CD's) , though not much made it onto the airwaves, let alone the jukeboxes.
Try http://www.veteran.co.uk/Veteran%20Catalogue.htm
She also traces the influence that this radical music has had on modern pop through Lonnie Donegan, whose interest in music was inspired by an American folk artist.
Donegan, she writes, started off as an aficionado of Josh White an American folk singer whose music reached this country through the airwaves of the BBC, courtesy of a slightly left wing (Labour) presenter called Charles Chilton.(we will meet Charles in another context, another time)
Unable to find the records he heard over the airwaves, he found them at Collets Book shop in Charing Cross Road (Formerly Hendersons, a syndicalist bookshop). The end result, as someone once said was 'the Beatles'
Untynewear championed punk as the modern music of protest that appealed to him, as well as the music of the British West Indian community that emerged at the same time, like Steel Pulse and Linton Kwesi Johnson. He particularly recommended Johnson's 'Inglan' is a Bitch' and 'Wat About Di Workin Class?' Johnson has a sizable following, including many writers and bloggers for his left-wing music attacking racism and capitalism. Colin Firth and Anthony Arnove include 'Inglan is a Bitch' in their anthology of radical, democratic and socialist texts, The People Speak: Democracy Is Not A Spectator Sport. Untynewear gives the lyrics to 'Wat About Di Workin Class', which goes
'From Inglan to Poland Every step across di ocean
The ruling class is dem in a mess, oh yes
Di capitalist system are regress
But di Sovjet system nah progress
So wich one of dem yuh think is best
When di two of dem work as a contest
When crisis is di order of di day
When so much people cryin' out for change nowadays
So what about di workin' claas? ??
What about di workin' claas?
Dem pay the cost, dem carry the cross
An' dem nah go forget dem ??
Dem nah go forget dem plans'
While this seems very dated after the Collapse of Communism, in the 1950s and '60s, it should be remembered, the Western ruling class was very definitely in a mess because it looked like the Communist bloc would overtake the West in affluence and material prosperity. See the book Red Plenty for a partly novelised account of this period from the point of the view of the Soviets. Buddyhell over Guy Debord's Cat has also included Johnson's 'Reggae fi Peach', protesting against the murder of Blair Peach by a member of the SPD at an anti-racism demonstration.
This isn't an either/ or situation. The idea that folk music is somehow a unique expression of a nation's essential nature, somehow isolated and different from the music of other nations and cultures, as viewed by some of the 19th century Romantic folklorists, has been rejected. Writers and researchers on folk music have pointed out that folk music has always drawn on international influences since at least the 16th and 17th century. A German writer then described how musicians from all over Europe, including England, toured the Continent and the fairs of Germany to pick up the latest tunes, which they then took back with them to their own countries. Sea Shanties are a particularly mixed genre. One book I read said it was impossible to work out from which country's musical tradition the genre as a whole developed from, while noting that there was a distinct African element to the music. Which is pretty much what you'd expect from an industry, whose very nature was international trade and the transport of goods and people. And the influence of other nation's culture and the adoption of their musical forms continued in the 19th century. One type of music that entered British folk music in the 19th century was the Polka, which originally came from Poland.
And far from being the anonymous expression of a nation's collective soul, some folk music was written or composed by distinct individuals, whose identities are known, or entered the tradition from Broadside Ballads. With this in mind, it's entirely fair to regard modern radical pop artists, like Johnson and the politically engaged Punk bands, as forms of modern folk, even though some of the artists themselves may have reacted against being lumped in with the genre. Jess herself agreed with Untynewear about the quality of Johnson's music. Colin Firth and Anthony Arnove, in The People Speak apart from Johnson, also include songs by The Clash, 'Know Your Rights' and Elvis Costello, 'Shipbuilding', along with folk songs like Hamish Henderson's 'The John Maclean March' and 'Freedom Come-All-Ye', Frank Higgins' 'The Testimony of Patience Kershaw' as well as anonymous 19th century ballads like 'Hunting A Loaf'. They're all songs of popular protest and attacks on social injustice, with the same roots in the experience of the poor, the working and lower middle classes, and the marginalised and oppressed, like many ethnic minorities.

"Untynewear commented that the folk music he tried after reading Young's book was largely too twee for his tastes, and was too middle class, 'nice music for nice people'"
Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear, but I actually formed those general views long before I read Electric Eden, as a result of attending folk clubs and gigs. Checking out the artists as I read EE only tended to confirm by predjudices.
But I did give the genre a fair crack of the whip, and its not a universal loathing – one of the best gigs I ever went to was the Albion Dance Band (featuring Ashley Hutchings). Maybe because they were electric and had a proper drumkit – sort of gave them the bollocks so many others in the genre seem to lack (subjective opinon, of course).
That – the electric bit – recalls the mindset that saw Bob Dylan getting called Judas in (I think) Manchester for going electric (and similar hassle in the States prior to that) which seems to suggest that by the mid 1960s there were very definite "rules" about what Folk music could and couldn't be.
Having said that, much the same thing happened to Punk and probably happens to just about every genre.
Pre-Cecil Sharp & co, I suspect a lot of "folk" music was bawled out by tuneless drunks in the pub – which kind of reminds me of Shane McGowan ! Perhaps some of the Pogues/Popes output (which I do like) is the nearest modern equivalent ?
And a nice example of "borrowing" – the accordion solo on the above is lifted bodily from Johnnie Allen's Louisiana swamp pop classic "Promised Land" !
beastrabban Says:
Thanks for the reply, Untynewear, and for clearing up my comment about your trying some folk music after reading 'Electric Eden'. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have to say, my own taste in folk music largely runs to the folk-rock groups like Steeleye Span.
I've heard about the massive controversy Dylan caused when he dared to play it electric. Robin Williamson of the Incredible String Band in the introduction to his collection of 'English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes' said that when he started off, the Folk scene was not only ' a bit communist', but was also 'highly segregated into "purist", "international", "blues", etc., so that he couldn't see where he fitted in. Apparently there was a similar controversy back in the 1990s in the world of Scots bagpipe music. The Scottish bagpipe scene is very, very traditional, from what I heard, and they were outraged when the Canadian participants in a world festival of Scots bagpipes broke some of the traditional rules and were a bit too modern. I don't know much about Punk, but you're right in that the 'purist' mentality that insists on a very strict adherence to what they believe constitutions the essence of the genre exists in every form of music. You can certainly hear it in people arguing over whether such and such a performer murdered a perfectly good song, or just gave it their own, perfectly good twist, depending on whether or not they're fans of the performer.
Thanks for the post of the Pogues/ Popes. I think you're right in that they do possess a 'folk' quality. They did, after all, do an album with Ewan MacColl's daughter, and I think they covered MacColl's own 'Dirty Old Town'. As for much folk music being bawled out in pubs, pre-Cecil Sharp, again, I think you're right. On the various programmes on folk music I've listened to, they've mentioned a particular pub in the north of England, where they still sing the area's traditional songs, as an example of the type of music and performance that was traditional all over the country before the appearance of modern, commercial, recorded music. And I did find a quote in one of the books I read years ago by a 19th century village farm worker, who said, 'I used to be accounted the best singer in the village, until these here new tunes came in', referring to the way his own singing skill lost its respect with the appearance of cheap printed music.
As for Shane McGowan, I'm surprised he's still walking. Life's certainly taken it's toll on him, although I think it's less 'life' in general, and more far too much booze by half.


MILTON — The future of the Nute High School girls basketball team is still up in the air, although they do have a coach — former Nute star Julie Donlon.
Donlon agreed late last week to coach the team. She met with the team Monday after school, hoping to draw more interest, but the number still stands at four. A new and final deadline has been set for Wednesday.
Donlon said if they can get to six players, she knows of a player who will play if they reach that threshold.
If Nute cannot get seven players by Wednesday, the season will be cancelled, Donlon said.
Three games have already been postponed.
Donlon said she was contacted early last week by Nute Principal Janette Radowicz at the suggestion of Nute physical education instructor Karen Johnson. Radowicz inquired if Donlon would be interested in coaching the team.
Donlon, a 1987 Nute grad, played three sports for the Rams, leaving an indelible mark on the basketball hardwood. She is one of the greatest players in state high school history, scoring 2,502 career points for Nute, the second most scored in New Hampshire by a high school girl (behind Henniker's Karen Wood, 2,677) — and the fifth most overall.
She later played at the University of New Hampshire from 1987 to 1991, serving as a captain her senior year. She is still in the top-10 leaders in career 3-pointers made (126) and assists (336).
Donlon did a stint coaching the Spaulding High School girls varsity basketball team in the mid 1990s and in recent years served as an assistant for the Nute girls under then head coach Jane Weymouth.
The program resurged under Weymouth, who stepped down in 2017. Nute made seven consecutive trips to the Division IV tournament (2010-2017), advancing to the quarterfinals on three occasions and the semifinals in 2016, all under Weymouth.
The program originally had a coach in place for this season, but he got frustrated by the lack of numbers and stepped down, according to Athletic Director John Shea.
Donlon said she has given the interested girls her cell number so they can text her if there is more interest. She said if they can get a couple more girls Tuesday, she'll come in and run a practice then.

Chefs Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Philip Tessier, Paul Bocuse, Skylar Stover, Gavin Kaysen, and Jérôme Bocuse at the 2015 Bocuse d'Or competition.
The Elevation of American Cuisine
January 2016 chef Philip Tessier
The Bocuse d'Or competition held biennially in Lyon, France, is considered the Olympics of culinary competitions. In 2015, Team USA placed among the top three for the first time, bringing home the coveted Silver Bocuse statue along with an elevated respect for American cuisine and American chefs. Chef Philip Tessier, formerly executive sous chef at The French Laundry, and his young commis, Skylar Stover, led Team USA to the unprecedented victory. Chef Tessier, who now serves as coach for Team USA in the 2017 Bocuse d'Or, says:
"The crazy part—for someone like me, who had been cooking nearly 20 years—was that you set aside your career for a year and a half to dedicate to this competition. When you do that, you prepare yourself in every way possible. But no matter what you do, half of what happens the day of the competition falls into the hands of a 22-year-old.
"It's a pretty daunting task to take someone with a relatively small amount of experience and work with him so that he is highly motivated, will have the endurance and perseverance to get through it, and will come out of the training, not only with a fresh attitude towards it, but also with a sense of confidence, determination, and excitement."
What was the biggest challenge?
To develop mental fortitude: You do not always see immediate results, and it becomes a mental game. At the competition, you are in a 3-by-6-meter box for six and a half hours, surrounded by famous chefs, video crews, photographers, and an [audience] of 2,500 people who are screaming like they're at a sporting event. You have to arrive at that moment and focus on what you are doing.
Clearly, you and Skylar made that moment work.
There were moments when it seemed the wheels were coming off. But we were going to do whatever we could to make ourselves better for that day—and that included physical training.
We got into CrossFit, four or five days a week. In the beginning, I was pushing him through it, saying "Come on, we're doing this at 6 o'clock every morning." Eventually he saw what it did for him and the mental clarity that it brought.
Another thing: There was no alcohol; I didn't drink for 22 months and Skylar had to follow suit. … This becomes a life-mentoring opportunity. We came out on the other side having been very successful, but looking back, there was also a big shift that had to take place on my end.
Can you tell us about that transition?
For a long time, I was saying: "Push harder. Do more. You've got to be better. You have to be faster, more diligent, inspired. You have to be teachable." But there's a point where I had to shift from pushing along to becoming that team. We had to gel as those two guys.
And now, there's a huge amount of satisfaction, gratitude that we were successful, and excitement for the way [this experience] helped to shape Skylar, who is spending five months at El Celler de can Roca in Girona, Spain, and then going to Amass Restaurant in Copenhagen for two months. (El Celler de can Roca was ranked the best restaurant in the world on the 2015 list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.)

Getting your research application approved
When you apply to conduct any Antarctic or subantarctic research, your application is processed by AAD staff and assessed by research program leaders before being subjected to national and international assessment and environmental and other scrutiny prior to getting final approval. The AAD team responsible for coordinating this process, in the Science Planning and Coordination section, comprises Gwen Fenton, Jenny Foley, Debbie Brown, Ian Hawkins, Jenny Cole and Vicki Cochrane.
The time to apply is May and June for the season after next, which means that this year we are assessing projects for the 2004–05 season. The 18 month lead-time is needed for assessments, approvals and logistical planning.
Applications are open on the AAD's web site from early May till the end of June each year. The web site carries all the information you need, but remember to discuss your project with the relevant program leader before lodging an application.
It is important that the whole assessment process is transparent and all steps are clearly explained to applicants. Accountability requires that Commonwealth resources are not provided to research projects without a full prior assessment and a progress and/or final report by each successful applicant.
The approval process
Applications are initially peer reviewed for scientific merit, the career experience of chief investigators, and institutional support, and the project's relevance to the Antarctic Science Strategic Plan is assessed. Each chief investigator is then asked to comment on the peer review of their project. Progress or final reports of previous or related projects may also be assessed.
Scientific assessments of each project go to either the life science or physical science Antarctic Research Assessment Committees (ARAC). These committees have independent chairs and members, together with relevant program leaders and the AAD Chief Scientist. Their recommendations are provided to the Science Program Management Committee for final selection of projects to receive resourcing and/or funding through the Australian Antarctic Science Grants Program. Any ethics approvals (for animal and human research) are completed during this time.
Notification of a favourable or unfavourable scientific assessment is done in December, after which operational assessment can begin. Applicants are notified whether their project has all the approvals about 12 months after they first applied.
What support is available?
Grants are available under the Australian Antarctic Science Grants Program. There is an upper cash limit of $30,000 (excluding GST), but actual operational support is substantial with an average value in excess of $500,000 per project. AAS Grants support research undertaken by full or part-time researchers based at Australian universities, by university-funded staff in Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs), and by researchers in other Australian tertiary institutions.
Applicants employed in State museums and State-funded institutions must obtain prior approval from the AAD Chief Scientist before seeking AAS Grant support. Researchers employed by government agencies that normally undertake research, such as CSIRO or Geosciences Australia, are ineligible for AAS Grant support but may receive logistical support.
Future seasons
Science Planning and Coordination section also coordinates Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for future seasons. So if you have a plan to conduct a major research program in 2005–06 and beyond, the sooner you let us know, the better. Projects of this type are classed as 'resource determining' in nature and must be identified at least two years in advance of the nominated science season. This process is necessary to assist the Antarctic Division's long-term operational and science support planning.
Resource determining proposals include those involving:
Significant levels of ship time
Significant levels of helicopter time
Support by fixed-wing aircraft
Significant numbers of workboats, including inflatable rubber craft
Diving facilities
Critical dates
Specially trained support personnel (for example, field
training officers)
Significant or unusual cargo

Carnot-Equivalent Stirling Engine and Heat Pump
Link: http://www.berkana.us/
ORGANIZATION NAME: Berkana Technology Group (Berkana LLC)
SUMMARY: Our purpose is to bring about a revolution in the efficiency of energy production and consumption by addressing the fundamental problems of engine and heat pump inefficiency. Heat engines and heat pumps are the technologies at the center of mankind's energy problem because of the fuels they require and the quantities of fuel they waste. With few exceptions, mankind's power plants and transportation technologies depend on the conversion of heat flow into work, while the industrialized world's food handling as we know it would cease to exist without refrigeration—the use of work to force the flow of heat. These needs are here with us to stay and growing in importance. Whereas many attempts to solve our energy crisis merely deal with power generation, our solution addresses both generation and consumption, and anticipates the need for efficiency due to growing demand. Our solution opens up opportunities for others to apply our breakthroughs to enhance their solutions for the greatest possible impact.
Our strategy's key element is the patent-pending Liu-Stirling Engine (LSE), whose PV cycle follows the ideal Stirling cycle, therefore achieving near-Carnot efficiency—the physical limit of efficiency for an engine or heat pump. Conventional Stirling engines fail to implement the Stirling cycle; rather, they implement the pseudo-Stirling cycle, which expresses only a fraction of the efficiency of the Stirling cycle. Furthermore, this engine has additional profound implications. Reversible operation:The LSE is also a heat pump: When placed between a temperature difference, the device converts heat flow into work, but when forcibly worked, it creates a temperature difference by forcing heat to flow. This one device is not merely a Carnot-efficient engine, it is also a Carnot-efficient refrigerator that doesn't require harmful refrigerants.
External combustion: Whereas internal combustion engines lack fuel flexibility, external combustion engines can be adapted to use any heat source, including concentrated sunlight. Because of this, the LSE can be adapted for alternative fuels and conditions. As a patent-pending engine developed over the past 7 years, the Liu-Stirling Engine is a serious engine design. Engine testing technology already in use in industry could verify our claims to efficiency, and its simplicity lends itself to being scaled to various applications.
PROBLEM SPACE: Our strategy addresses two of the fundamental interacting issues responsible for our present condition—the inefficiency of engines and heat pumps. If successful, our strategy would result in nothing less than the displacement of several inefficient engine and refrigeration technologies that have dominated the industrial world for over a century—truly a comprehensive impact.
We are confident that our strategy is anticipatory, recognizing that both heat engines and heat pumps are cornerstones of life in industrial societies and are rapidly being adopted by developing nations. Our strategy is ecologically responsible because its adoption will vastly reduce the energy we use and enable greater competitiveness for alternative fuels and renewable heat sources.
Our strategy doesn't depend on unproven theories nor physics of questionable veracity; our engine is feasible and verifiable, implementing long-established classical thermodynamics, using parts that can be built using existing manufacturing processes. We make no claims that cannot be tested. And lastly, both the technology and our business plan are replicable, and can be scaled and adapted for use with other people's solutions.
SOLUTION: We are currently modeling the Liu-Stirling Engine (LSE) in CAD for the purpose of simulating its operation for physical validation. Our plan over the next three years is to build a prototype, patent the LSE internationally, and license to manufacturers of engines and heat pumps, while serving as consultants to assist licensees in adapting the LSE to their applications. In so doing, we hope to disseminate the knowledge of our engine technology so that eventually the LSE displaces the less efficient engine and heat pumps that dominate the industry.
In our first year, we intend to complete the computer model of the engine for validation and build a prototype. Then we will present our prototype and simulations to potential licensees and developers. In our second year, we intend to market the engine as a heat pump to manufacturers of refrigeration equipment, and as an efficiency-enhancing technology for solar-thermal and geothermal ventures, and as a retrofit for existing steam-powered power plants.
To eventually displace the inefficient engine designs widely in use, it will also be necessary to instruct engineering students in the concepts and approach behind the LSE so that our technology becomes part of the problem-solving toolset of engineers. As the LSE gains popularity and proves itself in real-world applications and our intellectual property rights are recognized, we would work with universities, engineering journals, and textbook publishers to integrate our findings and designs into mechanical engineering course material, sponsoring and investing in research projects that could find novel and practical uses for the LSE. Our hope is that we would be able to successfully commercialize and popularize the LSE so that by the time our patent expires, we would have fundamentally changed the way engines and heat pumps are designed and studied throughout the world.

Lovely food and excellent service!
Don't normally bother Writing reviews but the food was fantastic!!!
Perfect. Best curry I've had since moving to the area.
Fantastic samosa starter, curry was nice, rice and garlic naan let it down a little but generally good.
Good tasting food, portion sizes not bad. May order again in future.
£3.50 delivery fee (set by the takeaway!) for a 0.4 mile journey?! Would of been cheaper to get a taxi to collect! Average food.
Curries were nice enough, rice was good but the naan breads were quite hard and chewy, nuggets ordered for a child were overcooked and much was binned. Delivery was pleasant and on time. Fairly disappointed.
Had the set meal for 2. Really good value, but VERY heavy in the garlic (garlic naan and large garlic chunks in one of the dishes) and LOTS of potatoes (Aloo and one of the other dishes).
Food was very tasty but no poppadoms or chutneys?
Always quality food here, piping hot, quick and friendly delivery and food tastes amazing!
When the food arrived it was not very warm and didn't taste very good. When I contacted the shop they refused to do anything about it. I spent £40 and it all went in the bin. Do not order from here. Very bad food and service.
Hi, first, we have been serving for the past 10 years and the quality of food and service we serve has been consistent through out this period. Your paticular order was done and delivered within 40 minutes so there was no issue of it being not very warm. Unfortunately I can understand you did not enjoy our food because it was not to your liking but I assure you we did not neglect on our own quality. Secondly, you did not call us to complain, otherwise maybe we could have discussed the issues. You actually called just eat and asked for a full refund which in turn they called us and we gave them our opinion and they did what they did at their own accord.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance (or someone you're ordering for has), phone the restaurant on 01455845566.


Read the story of this fantastic Slide House built in Nakameguro, Japan. These are the words of Kazuki Nakamura and Kenichi Izuhara, the LEVEL architects!
Imagine you were a kid living in a house like this. Everyday would be a party, don't you think? What do you do when your clients, a couple with three children, ask for a house so special that the children 'will chersh the memory of it for the rest of their lives'? You design a house with the most playful element imaginable : a slide that spans three floors. We rejected the easy way out. Rather than placing the slide next to the staircase or installing it in a playrooml, they boldly made it an integral part of the house. After entering the ground-floor entrance to the house, you ascend the staircase to the right, along the wall, and climb past the first floor to the second storey. The trip back down takes seconds when you use the slide, which runs along the entire inner perimeter of the building. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right angle of the slope, best materials for the slide and the ideal construction method of the curved corners where the wall had to be reinforced. The four corners of the building are rounded. The first floor - which accommodates a living-dining area and includes the kitchen - is surrounded by the stairs and the slide. A 6m-long build-in sofa creates a sense of unity ; light filters in from the courtyard through gratings. The bedroom on the second floor has no partitioning and is for everyone. Rounded couners cast soft shadows inside, while giving the building an appealing look outside. A month after completing the project, we visited the house. The children's biggest joy was trying to go up the slide instead of down. What better way to incorporate a space for play into family life?


Miner Rio Tinto unveiled the largest pink diamond from its Argyle mine in Western Australia this summer. The 3.14 carat "Argyle Alpha", found in 2015, is part of a package of 63 brightly coloured red and violet diamonds shown to potential buyers in Hong Kong this month. The stones are becoming ever more scarce as the mine, which upended the heavily controlled diamond market when it opened in 1983, is set to come to the end of its life in 2020.
Diamond price forecasts add a rosy tint to mine closures. With few comparable replacements in the pipeline, supply could peak in next 10 years "Rio Tinto's Argyle mine is the world's only source of these highly coveted pink, red and violet diamonds and we expect considerable interest in this year's collection," Jean-Sébastien Jacques, Rio Tinto's chief executive, said in a statement.
He added that the constrained supply will "support significant value appreciation for Argyle pink diamonds". The tender will travel to New York next month, with bids closing on October 10. Prices for high-quality pink stones have outperformed those of other diamonds over the past decade because of their rarity, according to Paul Zimnisky of Diamond Analytics in New York.
You're seeing the real significant depletion of the very economic mine Paul Zimnisky, Diamond Analytics. The Argyle mine became a huge source of smaller and cheaper stones when it came into production. It was quickly established as the world's largest diamond mine and played a role in helping to break De Beers' monopoly over the market in the 1990s. It was an era that marked a high point for exploration, with the giant Diavik mine in Canada's remote Northwest Territories discovered in the 1990s. Currently 60 per cent owned by Rio Tinto, Diavik is set to stop production in 2024.
Higher prices could incentivise diamond recycling, which in turn could add to supply, she adds. Maintaining consumer demand for diamonds could influence miners' investment decisions. Over the past two years larger jewellers, from Swarovski to the Warren Buffett-backed retailer Borsheims, have started to stock lab-grown diamonds. The chemically identical stones are made by replicating the temperature and pressure that formed natural diamonds deep in the Earth.
In what is seen as an attempt to head off the challenge, in May De Beers said it would start selling lab-grown diamonds through its own jewellery line, Lightbox, at a significant discount to both natural and other lab-grown stones. "They are just trying to separate the two markets and protect the natural diamond market," Bain's Ms Linde says.


If you've ever lost a significant amount of weight thanks to the latest fad diet, you've probably been slapped in the face with a very sad reality a few months after the diet ends: It's really hard to keep that weight off, and you end up gaining it back plus a little more.
Because this isn't a fun game for anyone to play, researchers decided to take a closer look at why this happens by following contestants from "The Biggest Loser" for six years after the contestants had dropped significant amounts of weight on the NBC reality show.
Scientist Kevin Hall, a researcher and expert on metabolism at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, had the idea to track these contestants' progress and weight gain in the years following the show, and what he found was pretty alarming.
Basically, all our bodies fight really hard against weight loss.
For these contestants, their resting metabolisms (the number of calories the body burns when not engaged in physical activity) slowed down quite a bit after they lost weight.
For example, one contestant was burning a normal number of calories for his weight when the show began. But afterward, to maintain his current weight of 295 pounds, he has to eat 800 fewer calories per day than the average 295-pound man.
The key point is that you can be on TV, you can lose enormous amounts of weight, you can go on for six years, but you can't get away from a basic biological reality. As long as you are below your initial weight, your body is going to try to get you back.
Well, this is some pretty discouraging news if you ask me, especially because as of right now, researchers don't really know what the answer is to losing weight and keeping it off.
But as a start, I would suggest if you want to lose weight, do it slowly. Instead of trying to lose 5 pounds per week, aim for 1 or 2 pounds.
According to research, this will make your weight easier to maintain because your body basically won't go into starvation mode and hold on tightly to every calorie the body gets.
Here's to hoping we all learn more about lasting weight loss soon.

Fields talked to the media on Wednesday
Fields discusses Bears' loss to Packers and improving the offense
by Ariana Pensy - Correspondent - Thursday, September 22, 2022, 10:52 AM
The Chicago Bears' second-year quarterback, Justin Fields, spoke to the media Wednesday regarding the offense's poor performance against the Packers this past Sunday night. It was an emotional loss, as explained by Fields.
"First, it was the Packers," he says, "Then, it was just the emotional investment that you put in every day. I've never liked losing."
The play calling throughout the game was rather inconsistent and questionable, particularly with the fourth and goal call with the Bears inside the one-yard line. Nonetheless, Fields and the entire offense continue to have trust in the play calling and all of the coaches.
"I have a say in what pass plays I like, what concepts I like, but in terms of when we're going to call the play, how many passes, how many runs we're going to call, that's (offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's) job, and everybody in the building knows that Luke knows what he's doing and we put full trust in him."
Even with that said, many of the offensive playmakers from last season have not gotten the ball much this season.
Last year, wide receiver Darnell Mooney had 81 receptions for 1,055 yards. So far this season, he has had a dismal two receptions for 4 yards. Tight end Cole Kmet is yet another example. Although he did not have any touchdowns last season, he had 60 receptions for 612 receiving yards. He has yet to tally his first reception this season.
The one bright spot in the Bears' offense, which has been rather productive the past two seasons, is running back David Montgomery.
Montgomery had his first 1,000-yard season in 2020 and had 849 rushing yards in 2021. Currently, Montgomery has 148 rushing yards, putting him at an average of 74 per game. If he were to continue this pace, we would expect to have 1,258 rushing yards by the end of the season. However, due to various injuries, he has yet to play in an entire season.
Despite these numbers, Fields explained that the team is "not looking at individual stats" and is just trying to put points on the board.
Although, maybe this is something the team should be looking at as the Bears rank last in passing offense with an average of 76.5 passing yards per game (The New York Giants are second-to-last with 159 passing yards per game). His interception rate is also currently 7.1%, which was 3.7% in 2021. While this is partly because it is the beginning of the season, it is also concerning that he has thrown an interception in both games this season.
The Bears will be looking to improve on offense against the Houston Texans on Sunday, September 25 (12 p.m./CBS). Houston is currently ranked 29th in total offense, while the Bears rank last. However, the Bears are ranked eighth in the league for run offense, while the Houston defense is ranked 30th going against the run. Both teams have struggled to put points up on the board this season, with both being tied for 26th in the league in points scored per game, with an average of 14.5.

WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Donald Trump lashed out on Sunday (May 19) at the first Republican congressman to call the US president's behaviour impeachable, while Democrats warned Trump's stonewalling of congressional probes is strengthening the case for an impeachment inquiry.
Trump called Republican Representative Justin Amash "a total lightweight" and "a loser" on Twitter, a day after the Michigan conservative said the Mueller report showed that the Republican president "engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment."
Amash's criticism made calls in the US Congress for Trump's impeachment bipartisan, though just barely, with most Republicans still standing by the president at a time of economic growth, turbulent markets and global trade tensions.
Saying most lawmakers have not read it, Amash cited Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report on Russian meddling in Trump's favour in the 2016 US election.
On Twitter on Saturday, Amash said the report showed Trump had obstructed justice and added, "President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct."
A frequent Trump critic, Amash is a part of the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative faction. He has also signaled he would consider running as a libertarian against Trump in 2020.
Counter-punching in his usual style, Trump tweeted: "Never a fan of @justinamash, a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy ... Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!" Trump will have a chance to make his case to supporters on Monday at a rally planned for Montoursville, Pa.
Amash's comments echoed the conclusions of many Democrats.
Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller's report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that Trump was moving closer to impeachment with his stonewalling of numerous congressional investigations of him and his presidency.
Still, Democrats are divided about impeachment. With 2020 election campaigns heating up, Pelosi said impeachment proceedings would be "divisive" for the country.
Americans' support for impeaching Trump rises
When values trump fact checks
IMPEACHMENT PROCESS
No US president has ever been removed from office as a direct result of the US Constitution's impeachment process.
The House of Representatives has impeached two presidents. Both were acquitted by the Senate.
The Mueller report, now at the center of an escalating oversight battle between Trump and House Democrats, detailed extensive contacts between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, but did not find that there was a conspiracy with Moscow. The report also described actions Trump took to try to impede Mueller's investigation, but made no formal finding on the question of obstruction, leaving the matter to Congress.
Amash also said on Twitter that Attorney General William Barr, a Trump appointee, "deliberately misrepresented" Mueller's report when he oversaw the roll-out of a redacted version.
There were no signs on Sunday of other Republicans following Amash's lead. Another Trump critic, Republican Senator Mitt Romney, said on Sunday that Amash made "a courageous statement,"yet also told CNN's "State of the Union" program that he did not believe Mueller's findings supported impeachment.
But Pramila Jayapal, a Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over impeachment, called Amash's statement "a watershed moment." "Justin Amash coming on board means there is now bipartisan support for really understanding the seriousness of what is in the Mueller report," she said.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, one of six committee chairs leading probes of Trump, said the case for impeachment is being strengthened by White House stonewalling.
"If the only way that we can do our oversight is through an impeachment proceeding, then maybe we have to go down that road," Schiff told CBS' "Face the Nation" program.
"But I think it'll be important to show the American people, this was a decision made reluctantly, this was a decision forced upon us, rather than something we were eager to embrace" Schiff said.
