Independence not on ballot, but on voters' minds in Scotland
Friday, Dec 6th 2019 (04:22 PM)
Ask voters in this picturesque university town in eastern Scotland how they're voting in next week's election, and they're likely to transition seamlessly from talking about which candidate they want to send to Parliament to discussing whether or not they want another bite at voting for Scottish independence, which voters rejected in 2014.
The question of Scotland's independence from the rest of the United Kingdom is not on the ballot, but it's uppermost in the minds of many voters in St. Andrews, and elsewhere in Scotland, as they make their final choices.
That's because the decision to take the United Kingdom out of the European Union — known as Brexit — has upended the political landscape and exposed old divisions among England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, fraying the ties that bind the U.K. In Scotland, that means talk of independence. In Northern Ireland, it means fears that the sectarian violence that plagued it for decades could return.

These issues, and Brexit itself, are just below the surface in the Dec. 12 general election. Rarely has an election been so fraught with implications for the future of the United Kingdom, a structure often taken for granted because of its familiar symbols — the queen who has reigned for more than six decades, the Parliament that is centuries old — but is vulnerable as it engineers a radical change in its relations with the rest of Europe.
Voters in Scotland overwhelmingly chose to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum, so it's fair to say Scotland is being dragged through Brexit against its will.
The North East Fife district that is home to St. Andrews was the tightest in the United Kingdom's last general election — only two votes meant victory for the Scottish Nationalists over the Liberal Democrats in 2017 — and the foes are grappling again. While they are united in their rejection of Brexit, they are divided over whether Scotland should vote, again, on its own independence.

He remembers that voters were told ahead of the 2014 vote that this was a "once in a generation" decision _ he doesn't want to revisit it just five years later. (AP PhotoRenee Graham)
The Scottish Nationalists say yes, that Brexit is so dire it merits another vote on whether Scotland, an economic player in its own right, blessed with ample energy resources, natural beauty, and a rich tradition of self-sufficiency, should forge its own way as an independent nation. The Liberals, meanwhile, remain committed to remaining inside the U.K., even if Britain extricates itself from the European Union as scheduled on Jan. 31.
Retired boxer Chris Honess has no doubt where he stands: He's going to vote against the Scottish Nationalists with the hope of quelling talk of another independence referendum. He thinks the whole structure of European defense would be threatened if Scotland breaks away.
"I am 100% against the breakup of the United Kingdom," said Honess, 69. "I think we're very good at complaining, actually the U.K. works very, very well. If the SNP (Scottish Nationalist Party) were to succeed in breaking up the United Kingdom that would definitely weaken NATO, and I'm a huge supporter of NATO."

If no party gets an outright majority in the upcoming vote, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon had made clear that any party looking for her backing in a coalition government will have to agree to authorize Scotland to hold another independence referendum — and to accept the results.
John Curtice, a professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, said the debate over independence and Brexit are now closely "interlaced" in Scotland. He says the results in North East Fife and many Scottish districts in the coming election are extremely hard to predict.
"When you're talking about Brexit, you're also tending to talk about independence," he said. "Änd when you're talking about independence, you're also talking about Brexit."

It's not just in Scotland. In Northern Ireland, some believe the election, if it brings the current Brexit deal to reality, could nudge Northern Ireland away from the U.K. and closer to the Republic of Ireland. That's a fraught issue.
The current Brexit plan, which is expected to win swift approval if Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservatives win a majority, would keep Northern Ireland bound more closely to EU trade rules than the rest of the U.K. in order to avoid border checks with EU member Ireland. That, in turn, could mean new checks on trade between Northern Ireland and other parts of the U.K.
Some who fervently want — or fear— a united Ireland believe that might be a fateful first step toward that end. And any changes, even small ones, to the delicate balance that defines Northern Ireland's status could have big consequences.
Back in Scotland, heavily tattooed hairstylist Craig Boyd, who runs a small salon, says he's backing the Scottish Nationalists next week with hopes of getting a chance to vote on independence again. He says that's far more important to him than the Brexit issue.
"I voted for independence the first time around, and I'll vote for it the second time around," he said. "Whether that is under remaining in the (European) single market and the union, who knows? But either way I'd like to see independence for Scotland."

"It's another form of uncertainty," he said. "The fact that we are still going on about it…. Let's run this country in the way that we voted to do it in 2014 and let's not muck about anymore."

750 tons of sand will soon be trucked into the Munich Airport Center forum for a volleyball tournament.
For the first three days, volleyball professionals from the "smart beach tour" will be showing spectators how it's done. Then there's a week-long tournament for company-sponsored teams, followed by a Family Day (August 10th) when players from the "Rote Raben", the reigning champions of the German women's volleyball league will teach visitors the finer points of the art of volleyball.
To close out the Airport Beach Season, from August 15-17, the top volleyball teams in Bavaria will face-off for a three-day tournament for the state championship.
Sounds like a great use for airport facilities. And it's free! For more information see:www.airport-beach.de.

Vande Mataram
The song Vande Mataram or Bande Mataram, as the original in Bengali would be pronounced is a poem written by b Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in the 1870s, which he included in his 1881 novel Anandamath.
The first two verses of the song were adopted as the National Song of India in October 1937 by Congress Working Committee prior to the end of colonial rule in August 1947.
The most famous rendition of Vande Mataram was done in 1896 by Rabindranath Tagore at a meeting of the Indian National Congress in Kolkata, West Bengal. During the following decade, the two words Bande Mataram or Vande Mataram was also widely used by the freedom fighters as a slogan for political parties.
The song Vande Mataram is still one of the most popular anthems and at the same time, it has generated its own share of controversy.

Malinta Tunnel
Type Army Base
Historical Name of Location Corregidor, Cavite, Philippines
Contributor: C. Peter Chen
ww2dbaseThe Malinta Tunnel, located in the hill by the same name on the eastern side of the Philippine island of Corregidor, was constructed between 1922 and 1932. The construction was oversaw by the US Army Corps of Engineers using the labor of 1,000 convicts from the Bilibid Prison of the city of Manila. The main tunnel, running east to west, was 253 meters (831 feet) long, 7.3 meters (24 feet) wide, and 5.5 meters (18 feet) high. There were 24 lateral tunnels branching off of the main tunnel; these lateral tunnels were each about 49 meters (160 feet) long and 4.6 meters (15 feet) wide. In early 1942, the tunnel network concurrently served as the headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur, the seat of the government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, a 1,000-bed military hospital, a warehouse for food and ammunition, and an air raid shelter. It became among the final strongholds of the US Army in northern Philippine Islands, surrendering only on 6 May 1942. When the Americans returned in 1945, some of the Japanese troops on Corregidor sought shelter in Malinta Tunnel from US aerial and naval bombardment, and on 23 Feb 1945 the last of the surviving Japanese in the tunnel committed suicide by detonating explosives in order to avoid being captured.

30 Dec 1941 Sergio Osmeña was sworn in as the Vice President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines at the west entrance of the Malinta Tunnel on Corregidor, Philippine Islands.
25 Apr 1942 The final US-Filipino stronghold on the island of Luzon in the Philippine Islands, Corregidor, while already under daily bombardment for the past two weeks, began to be subjected to night-time bombardment as well. At 2200 hours, two 240-millimeter shells hit the opening of a tunnel leading into the underground command center, killing 15.
6 May 1942 Before dawn, US and Filipino defenders in the East Sector of Corregidor, Philippine Islands fought against the Japanese amphibious assault launched just prior to midnight, killing 1,200 men of the 2,000-strong first wave of attack. At 0930 hours, the Japanese began to gain a beachhead and began landing tanks to support the invasion. The US 4th Marine Regiment reserve companies and the US 4th Marine Battalion (reserve) launched an unsuccessful counterattack. Acknowledging the hopelessness of the situation, Major General Jonathan Wainwright ordered his troops to surrender at 1030 hours. To prevent capture, US Marines Colonel S. L. Howard ordered all regimental and national colors of the 4th Marine Regiment burned to prevent capture, while other US and Filipino personnel scuttled gunboats and destroyed ammunition stores.

"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945


Go Project Films is the film production arm of the Global Oneness Project–the award-winning online multi-media educational platform. Our work has been featured on PBS, The New York Times, National Geographic, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, TED, exhibited at The Smithsonian and screened at festivals worldwide.
What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, where do we find solutions that can help us build the future that serves us all? This 25-minute Global Oneness Project film retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.


Is there such a thing as safe fun in the sun (& where can I find a 'safe' sunscreen)?
Examples of protective foods include: green tea, carrots, red peppers, spinach and salmon. (Click here for further info on that).
Topical sunscreens (i.e. creams, gels, lotions and sprays) should have as few ingredients as possible, unless they are organic and otherwise facilitate wellness. And the sunscreen need to be non-toxic. I recommend products with the main ingredient: zinc, which provides evidence-based skin protection.
What's the deal with SPF?
Where can I get more information on how to protect my skin from sun damage?
An organization that keeps your safety in mind: The "EWG" (Environmental Working Group), based in Washington D.C. advocates for health-protective policies (click here for details). For an example of a sunscreen they recommend that is organic and fragrance-free click here.
A website you can trust: For a wonderful, well researched list of products that meet these criteria, please check out SafeMama.com's coverage on sunscreen cheat sheets. I encourage you to explore that website at your leisure for the many ideas Katherine shares about a wide variety off topics.
It is true that the more sun we get, the more potential Vitamin D we may manufacture but absorption is a key factor. Washing with soap and water decreases the body's ability to absorb the Vitamin D it manufactures (within the initial 48 hours after exposure).
"Vitamin D" is really a hormone. Unlike vitamins which are supplied by food or supplements, hormones are actually manufactured by the body. In order to get the most of that experience, many organ systems pitch in. In other words, the body needs to work as a team. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes an entire body to get the benefits of sun exposure.
Vitamin D is necessary for a variety of reasons. It facilitates healthy bones, heart and more. The sun is our friend and inspires to the body to produce it. What role do sunscreens play in helping or hindering the process? These are important questions that have a wide range of answers, depending what schools of thought are followed. Your trusted health care provider is your best resource, especially when evidence-based research supports recommendations.
Enrich your summer food & drink intake with recommended (sun protective) foods.
Get to know your body (fair skin with light hair and eyes tends to burn faster than darker skin with dark eyes & hair).
Take special sun protective supplements during the summer months to decrease your tendency to burn.

Oh, what oh what is a girl supposed to do ? This is typical of what I have been so used to seeing over the past month or six weeks here in the beautiful city and countryside in Mentor, Ohio.
The leaves have been just gorgeous. The trees... just brilliant with the changing of the leaves... well... it could not have been prettier if it had been painted by an artist.
But, then again... it HAS been painted by one of my all-time favorite artists... Mother Nature ! She uses such beautiful colors.
The last six weeks or so has been such a great time to take walks... again, both in the neighborhood here in Mentor, and all around the beautiful countryside here in NorthEastern Ohio.
Such beauty is so hard to say good-bye to. But it appears that I may have to be using sad words of farewell to these beautiful colors all too soon.
It appears that Mother Nature is up to her old tricks again. Last weekend was Halloween, and it was so great seeing all the cute little neighborhood kids... and some of the bigger "kids" as well... all decked out in their costumes.
Door to door they went... with their yearly chants of "Trick or Treat."
From what I have been hearing on the local TV and Radio weather forecasts, however, it sounds like Mother Nature is going to be taking away her treats, and playing some of her at times cold-natured tricks on us.
Would you believe it ? The local weather guys and chicks are telling us there is actually a chance that it could SNOW this weekend.
I have checked some of the weather history around Mentor for previous years. And of course, that nasty old "lake effect" may just sneak up on us... and drop a nice heavy, wet blanket of this stuff they call "snow" on us.
I really do NOT want to spend part of my days tomorrow or Sunday clearing away the snow... even IF I get an extra hour of time... (which I was hoping to spend sleeping).
I know Active Rain covers all different parts of our beautiful country. Has anyone else felt Mother Nature threatening to wave her Icy Fingers your way yet ? Just curious as to if I am going to be the only one shivering when I thought I would be raking leaves.
Enjoyed reading your reflections and seeing the photo of the splendid fall you have had. I hope the snow doesn't arrive, and you can enjoy that extra hour of sleeping. All the best.
Right on time, schedule, the seasons change with or without you. It was one heck of a summer in Maine, a neat fall and winter is not a bad thing...we enjoy it.
Brrr, signs of what is on the way...We haven't had snow in Southern NH yet, but just contracted with our plowing guy for tthe season...beautiful Fall pic...thanks for sharing!
Carolyn, What beautiful photos! I'm with you on not being ready. However, ready or not, winter is here!
Carolyn--I am originally from Ohio, so I definitely appreciate the beauty of the Buckeye State. Thanks for taking me home!

Q: meteor reactive content filtering I have a dynamic page with a table of data, that needs filtering.
I have month field for every item in my collection, I also have a select with 13 options (12 months + any), I have it working if the query gets called again, however it's not dynamic. Here's what I have right now:
HTML

Filter by Month

  <select class="form-control month-filter">
    <option value="show_m_any">Any</option>
    <option value="show_m_1">January</option>
    <option value="show_m_2">Februray</option>
    <option value="show_m_3">March</option>
    <option value="show_m_4">April</option>
    <option value="show_m_5">May</option>

        {{car}}

        {{dist}}

    {{/each}}

Template.trip_html.helpers({
trip_html: function(){

console.log(Trips.find({}))
return Trips.find({}, {sort: {createdAt: -1}, limit: 10});
},

tripList: function(){
if(month_filter == 1){
    return Trips.find({"month": { $eq: "1" }}, {sort:{createdAt: -1}});
} else if(month_filter == 2){
    return Trips.find({"month": { $eq: "2" }}, {sort:{createdAt: -1}});
} else {
  return Trips.find({}, {sort: {createdAt: -1}});
}

}});

Template.trip_html.events({
 "change .month-filter": function( event, template ) {
    var value = $( event.target ).val();
    switch(value){
    case "show_m_any":
    month_filter = 0;
    break;

    case "show_m_1":
    month_filter = 1;
    break;

    case "show_m_2":
    month_filter = 2;
    break;

    case "show_m_3":

        case "show_m_4":

    break;

         case "show_m_12":
    break;

    }
  }});

Image of the page

A: Try using a reactive variable:
First of all, change the value of your option tags to just the number of the month.
Example:
<select class="form-control month-filter">
    <option value="0">Any</option>
    <option value="1">January</option>
    <option value="2">Februray</option>
    <option value="3">March</option>
    [ ... etc ... ]
 </select>

Then in your events block you don't need to use a switch because you can just pull the month number straight from your option value.
Template.trip_html.events({
    "change .month-filter": function( event, template ) {

        const month = new ReactiveVar(null); //declare reactive var
        var monthNumber = $( event.target ).val(); // get month number from selected option value
        month.set(monthNumber); // set reactive var to month number
});

Then in your helper you only need:
tripList: function(){
    const monthNumber = month.get()
    return Trips.find({"month": { $eq: monthNumber }}, {sort:{createdAt: -1}});
}


This short video, put out by the Million Jobs Project, currently has more than 3.7 million views. It claims that US producers have been outsourcing jobs abroad in order to fatten their profits. It urges viewers to increase their purchases of American-made products by 5 percent, since this shift would ultimately create "a minimum" of a million new jobs for Americans. Unfortunately, everything about this video is wrong.
Firms will lay off foreign workers and bring those jobs back home to the United States. But other things equal, why should we hold this ethical view? The question is even harder to answer once we consider that the foreign workers who, according to the video producers, will lose their jobs are probably extremely poor compared to the Americans who will get the jobs. Since when is it a noble thing to put a desperately poor person out of work?
Beyond the fuzziness of the value judgment involved, the fundamental error in the video is the notion that there are a fixed number of jobs in the world. This isn't so. If an owner closes a factory in the United States and opens a factory in India, he has only "shipped jobs abroad" in the same way that a correspondent can "ship a pen pal abroad" by switching writing partners. Other employers can rush in to offer jobs to the newly laid-off workers, or the workers can start their own businesses and become self-employed.
Indeed, so long as the government (or a union threatening violence with impunity) doesn't artificially prop up wages and salaries, there is really no problem of unemployment in the market economy. Wages and prices eventually adjust so that everybody who wants a job can get one. Some workers might complain that their income is too low, but that's a different problem from truly being unable to get hired at all.
To see the relevance of this point, let's consider exactly how the phenomenon of outsourcing occurs. As the video describes it, US employers realized "about 30 years ago" that they could hire foreign workers to do the same jobs at much lower wages, so they relocated their production facilities abroad. This assertion raises the question: Why didn't employers just cut US wages down to what the foreigners were asking?
The answer is that US workers won't take such low-paying jobs because they have better options. For example, suppose Americans are originally employed in a TV factory in Tennessee, making $16 an hour. The owner of the plant realizes he can relocate it to India, where he can hire workers who are half as productive (meaning they only make half as many TVs per hour) but who are willing to work for $4 an hour. He would never bother relocating if the American workers would simply accept a pay cut to $8 an hour. (The American workers make twice as many TVs per hour, remember.) Suppose they won't do that, because their next-best job option is to work in a warehouse for $10 an hour. In this case, with the numbers I've invented, the original factory owner would "ship jobs to India," not because of some horrible flaw in the labor market, but because American workers had better things to do than make TVs for $8 an hour. It was more efficient for those workers to go into the warehouse sector and for the Indian workers to make the TVs.
Notice also the point about government intervention. If we cut all of the numbers in half from my scenario about TVs, then all of a sudden the outsourcing would seem to cause US unemployment. Specifically, suppose the American workers originally made TVs in Tennessee and were paid $8 an hour. Then the owner of the factory realized the Indian workers were willing to make TVs for $2 an hour. In this case, the Americans (who are still twice as productive) would need to cut their asking wage to $4 an hour to stay competitive, and their other option is to work at a warehouse where they would generate $5 an hour in value for their boss. Alas, in this scenario, the factory owner still "ships jobs to India," but the laid-off Americans are stuck: It is illegal for them to work at the warehouse for $5 an hour, because that would violate minimum wage laws. Thus, they really have been thrown out of work, but the true culprit was government intervention, not outsourcing per se.
"Outsourcing" is simply a manifestation of the more general phenomenon of trade between countries. As a general rule, giving individuals the freedom to trade with whomever they wish, around the globe, maximizes the "real income" of the groups involved.
The general logic of the benefits of free trade applies to outsourcing; a particular instance of outsourcing will (obviously) hurt the domestic workers involved, but it will shower on other Americans benefits that more than offset the loss. Immediately, the owners of the outsourcing firm benefit in the form of higher profits (because they've cut their wage bill). But the forces of competition will soon cause those cost savings to show up as lower prices for American consumers. Indeed, the video's producers implicitly admit this when they acknowledge that their recommendation to buy 5 percent more American-made products would be more expensive for consumers.
The logic of free trade is irresistible once a person takes the first step on its path. By effectively paying foreign workers with US dollars when they send us TVs, clothes, and other goods, we give them the purchasing power to buy American exports such as wheat and aircraft components. The opposite holds as well: If American consumers reduce their purchases of foreign-made TVs and other goods, then those foreigners will cut back on their purchases of American wheat and so forth. Ultimately, the video's suggestion to "buy American" won't create more American jobs in total, but instead will merely rearrange employment among sectors, making Americans poorer in the process.
To be fair, the video's narrator does try to defuse the standard economist response to his analysis, starting around the 1:05 point. The narrator says that Americans won't simply find other, "thinking up" jobs to replace the manufacturing jobs that have been outsourced, because those "thinking up" jobs need to be outsourced as well, in order to stay close to the manufacturing process. Whether or not this is actually true — after all, there are plenty of "thinking up" jobs being created in Silicon Valley and elsewhere in the United States — it misses the more basic point: There is no reason that the United States should manufacture a certain product within its borders for the rest of time.
As foreign governments reduce their own institutional barriers to trade, and as communication and shipping costs fall, it only makes sense that production becomes more globally integrated. To insist that Americans favor products "made in the USA" is as arbitrary and impoverishing as people in Alaska insisting that they only eat oranges grown in Alaska (in greenhouses, presumably). There are serious obstacles to prosperity for the average American worker, but the problem isn't "outsourcing." The problem is government mandates and restrictions that hinder the operation of the market economy.


I don't know whether I owe this to food blogging or to age, but over the years I've become more open to exploring vegetarian food and in the process have come across some stuff that I really like.
Do these dishes give the same pleasure as a good steak or grilled foie or a mutton roll would? Perhaps not. But, as I grow older, I find that vegetarian food taxes my digestion less and helps me stay light.
The one restaurant that I really like for vegetarian food in Mumbai is Soam which is located opposite the Babulnath temple in South Mumbai. They serve a variety of Gujarati dishes here.
Unlike the famous thali places of Mumbai, that serve a mix of Gujarati and Rajasthani vegetarian food with the odd spring roll and butter paneer thrown in, the fare at Soam is offered a la carte. I have never really taken to the thali format of eating where multiple tiny bowls are plonked in front of you and where refills are offered before you can catch your breath. I prefer to have fewer dishes on my table and don't mind one dish meals actually. Which is why, though thalis have many loyalists, I rarely speak about thali joints myself.
I went to Soam recently with Seema and Amreen who run the Bombay Street Food restaurant in Toronto. They are Kathiawadi Memons and were keen to rekindle food memories of their ancestors which is why we went to Soam .
Soam has a winter menu on offer right now and I was keen to try that myself. Folks like Sangeeta Khanna have instilled the desire to eat seasonal in me and I am trying to do so to the extent possible.
We tried three dishes in Soam that Gujaratis apparently love in winter.
We had the most famous Gujarati winter dish of course, Undhiyu/ oondhia. This is a slow cooked dish made with a number of winter vegetables such as purple yam, brinjal, plantains, unripe banana, peas and green beans and a dumpling called muthia (ingredients could vary). The final dish looks primarily green in colour in the versions that I have eaten. Core to the flavour of the dish is the oil it is cooked in and spices infused into it. I am told that each part of Gujarat has its own version of undhiyu. The folks at Soam make the Surti version. They serve it with roti or pooris and some raita on the side.
The first time I had undhiyu was in the lunch buffet at the World Trade Centre in a Bombay Ad Club workshop in the early 2000s. Since K's maternal side of the family are from Surat, we often get undhiyu for them. Usually from a shop called Regal Stores at Pali Naka. Gujaratis in Mumbai hold undhiyu and poori parties. I once had some made by Anaggh Desai's wife for such a party.
I have found that the undhiyus that I have eaten to have varying levels of sweetness (mildly sweet to not sweet at all) and consistency (some more oily than others). At Soam it has a prominent garlic after taste as the winter special green garlic is used in it.
I packed some undhiyu from Soam to take home for my mother in law, a former Soorti girl and an undhiyu lover herself though a Parsi. She was most excited by the fact that the Undhiyu tasted the same two days after I brought it home too as she prefers to savour it slowly.
I am not Gujarati and don't have any childhood associations with undhiyu. However, it's a big part of my Mumbai food discoveries and has become like comfort food for me.
Ponk, or millet kernels, is another winter speciality of Gujarat especially at Surat. I first heard about it in a TV show, Rocky and Mayur's I think. Sounded like 'pork' which surprised me till I saw what it actually was! It's called hurda/ hoorda in Maharashtra and you get it in winter here as well I am told.
Soam has been offering ponk from Surat on the menu for the last ten years or so. They have a variety of pink dishes on the menu right now. Bhajias, khichdi and as a bhel too.
The bhel is what we chose as we were pretty full from the our Finely Chopped Mumbai food trail when we reached Soam. We felt that having it as a bhel (where the ponk was not cooked) was a good way of experiencing the true taste of ponk.
The ponk bhel turned out to be refreshing and light. The ponk didn't seem to have a very distinct flavour. However it added a nice bite to the dish. A 'nutty texture' as I saw someone describe it somewhere on social media. Made for quite a pleasant dish even for someone like who had no prior ponk background or love.
The third dish that we tried from the Soam winter menu was lasan na vagherla rotlu which Seema got very excited about. It's a Kathiawadi dish Seema told me and something that her mother makes.
I thought it would be like a flat roti. However it is actually similar to a Rajasthani baati, of dal baati churma, explained Seema and is served crushed. The dish is made with millets which makes it pretty earthy and filling and you don't have to eat too much of it to satisfy your hunger. It is flavoured with green garlic which is a winter speciality, onions and ghee too. It is served with dahi and tasted delicious. Seema approved of the preparation at Soam and smiled widely.
Kathiawad is an arid region in Gujarat. Too many vegetables don't grow there. However the locals have 'turned poison into medicine' and make some lovely vegetarian food with a mix of flours, lentils, chillies, garlic and onion and ghee.
The desire to eat well brings out the best in people.
So these are some Gujarati winter specialities that I have got to know over the years in Mumbai and learnt to like.
Does your community have any winter favouites? I would love to know about them if you do.
As for me, I miss the fulkopir shingara (samosas stuffed with cauliflower and potato), which were a winter must from the sweet shops of Kolkata when I was a kid.

Heatwave Around the World Has Become Humanity's Greatest Enemy
The recent effects of climate change have engulfed major continents currently with many nations suffering through a spree of heatwaves.
Countries like the United Kingdom which generally have colder temperatures are facing one of the hottest summers in the country's history.
The UK Hit Hard
In fact, the heatwave in the UK is said to be so severe, that it might even impact food supplies. The farmers have already warned of a "Genuine shortage of crops".
Fresh vegetables stop growing when the temperature increases, but with their demand already souring, wholesalers are now buying foreign products to fulfill the shortage.
There is also a lack of rainfall in the country, the last time it rained in SouthEast England and East Anglia was on the 29th of May. This has led to many green pastures turning yellow.
This summer the dry period, which according to the Met Office means rain of less than 1mm, has stretched for a staggering 55 consecutive days (May 30 – July 23)
Heathrow has suffered most in this period, only receiving a lowly 0.4mm. Hampton Waterworks in South London received 0.66mm rain while RAF Kenley in Surrey got only 1mm rain.
UK TEMPERATURE COMPARISONS
The last time the UK received a summer this hot, was back in 1976.
"76 is the yardstick we always fall back on because it was such a remarkable heatwave and drought – it's one of the standouts in our records." Mc Carthy, Met Office.
The situation World over
This phase of a heatwave is not stopping anytime soon in the UK, and it is expected to continue on until October.
In other parts of the world, temperatures are soaring. In the past month, California has witnessed severe power shortages whilst the demand for air conditioners has also risen in the state.
Algeria has experienced the hottest temperature ever reliably registered in Africa. This past Monday Taiwan experienced a high of 40.3C in Tianxing, while temperatures in some place of the Sahara desert had experienced a high of 51.3C in July.
Even when the Sun is down, some places experience severe heat. In Quriyat, Oman, temperatures overnight were recorded at a staggering 42.6C. Downtown Los Angeles also witnessed a new monthly July minimum overnight record of 26.1C on July 1st.
Usually, temperatures are boosted upwards during a cycle known as 'El Nino', which happened in 2016. However, last year temperatures hit a high even without the presence of El Nino.
Portions of the Northern Hemisphere have encountered persistent warmth, and have created a 'Heat Dome' over most of Eurasia.
Pakistan in Crisis
Pakistan is no different when it comes to feeling the effects of climate change, as the country just a month back went through a horrific heatwave that left dozens dead.
Up to 65 people were reported dead in Karachi, as temperatures touched record heights, at one point touching 44 degrees (Celcius).
Even in 2015, a heatwave left hospitals and morgue overwhelmed, as up to 1200 people were reported dead.
Pakistan is also facing a severe water crisis, the country is expected to run out of fresh water by 2025 as reported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR).
The UN report also stated that the immediate effects will be lack of availability to the masses and that people living in all parts of the country will experience this shortage in the coming years.
Japan a melting pot?
Like many parts of the world, Japan is also heating up and even the fake food items kept in restaurant windows in Nagoya, Japan, are literally melting. What is really surprising is that the temperature inside the glass windows was over 140 degrees.
In the next century, Japan's temperature is expected to rise 2.5 to 3.5 degrees (Celcius).
A New Threat
With the dry heat comes the growing threat of wildfires. On August 6th a fire that lasted for almost 4 days, came to an end in Portugal. The fire engulfed large parts of the forest and was finally tamed by firefighters.
The possible cause of the fire are heatwaves caused by a mass of Hot Air from North Africa, that sent temperatures soaring in Spain and Portugal.
Countries such as Sweden are also fighting an uncommon number of wildfires, as the risk continues to grow with temperatures breaking records each day.
The Arctic on the verge of Extinction
Even the Arctic ice is not safe from the heat, as it is melting at an alarming rate, and is adding to the rise in sea-levels. This could be catastrophic for coastal settlements around the world.
In the past 5 years, the melting has accelerated threefold and is now vanishing faster than at any previously recorded time, as reported by scientists in UK and USA.
Unless urgent action is taken, the melting ice will keep on contributing rising levels of the sea and is expected that by 2070 it may rise by 25 cm.
Arctic warming is causing changes to sea ice and snow cover, In 2010 Air temperatures in the Arctic were 4 degrees (Celcius) warmer than 1968-1996. The temperatures are rapidly changing and the frozen ground is starting to thaw.
An upward trend in temperatures has been recorded over the past 50 years and annual temperature increase of 2 degrees (Celcius) in the Arctic.
If we don't act in the next decade or so, the climate around the world will worsen, and soon we will have a global shortage of water, barren desert-like areas and of course rising sea-levels and we will be forced to adapt to living accordingly.

Kate Levering Wiki, Bio, Husband, Pregnant/Baby and Net Worth
Kate Levering is an American actress as well as a dancer, best known for her role in the TV series Kevin Hill, with her role as Taye Diggs. Kate was born on the 3rd of January 1979, Sacramento, California, USA. She was brought up in a middle class family of white ethnicity and was the middle of third children born to a sports coach father Rickie Levering and a tailor mother Martha Levering. She had a simple childhood with her siblings, and grew up studying at the El Camino Fundamental High School. In school, she was very active in taking part in extracurricular events and one of her favorite spot was the dance class, where she was always present. She was very fond of dancing as well as acting, and appeared in several such events from her school.
Upon graduating high school, she went to New York City in order to pursue a career in acting; in Broadway. Her first act was in the year 2001, which was the 42nd Street, where she played the role of Miss Peggy Sawyer. Her acting skills and her tap dancing in the show won her the Fred Astaire Award for Best Female Dancer. This huge achievement was followed by her nomination for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical category. This sudden rise in fame was followed by her appearances in the TV shows and in her short career in Broadway, she was also seen playing roles in shows like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Cold Case, Witchblade etc.
Kate is a married woman, and she has been in what looks like only one relationship till now. She has also got a baby boy with her husband; Holden Robert Jahangiri, who is only a couple of years old. Her husband is Reza Jahangiri; who is a senior publisher for The Reverse Review, the advisor of CEO of American Advisors Group as well as co-chairman of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. These two people came across each other in some social event and started dating immediately. After a couple of years, they got married in early 2012 and later that year Kate was pregnant with their child. Not either of them seems to have been in multiple relationships in the past; and despite the fame and popularity of Kate; she seems to have no boyfriends at all, before. Their healthy and successful marriage life seems to be running on the fuel of trust and love, and so a divorce doesn't look to be coming anywhere near.
With a height of about 5 feet and 5 inches, she is a hot looking woman with charming looks and beautiful body. With her last recorded weight of 47 kg, she has got blonde hair, blue eyes, curved body and sexy feet. With many of her pictures available in her Instagram account, you can also follow her on Twitter or read her biography in Wikipedia to know more about her. By 2015, she had an estimated net worth value of $2 million US dollars.
