It is looking like the stock market turmoil that kicked into high gear last week has rolled over to the current trading week, as concerns about China have continued the sell-off. Aside from the latest economic readings that point to a continued contraction in the China manufacturing economy in June, concern is rising about liquidity in China. While those factors are weighing on the U.S. stock market, the overriding driver of the recent stock market fall was Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his “IFy” comments last week. I will have more commentary on that situation further below.
As tends to be the case, the financial media is spinning a doomsday scenario based on a cursory reading of Bernanke’s comments. That’s added fuel to the market’s fall-off fire. But to the trained investor like you and me, when we understand what Mr. Bernanke said, this pullback is likely to be short lived. It also offers an opportunity to buy shares selectively at bargain prices in the coming days.
Before I tell you why that is the case, let me recap the latest economic data because it helps support what I’m going to share with you about the Fed’s policy statement.
Global economic data points to tepid growth ahead. Last week, we received the initial June purchasing managers index (PMI) readings for several key global economies. These data points are key indicators of manufacturing and service demand in each of these territories. I keep a careful watch on them each and every month. I also recap them for you in each monthly issue of PowerTrend Profits.
The June PMI reading for China pointed to a further contraction from May and was not only below the expansion/contraction line of 50, it was also the lowest reading in the last nine months. More worrisome, the orders component that indicates near-term activity also fell month over month. The euro zone reading fared a little better, as its flash June PMI reading suggested a slowing rate of contraction, while the reading for the United States was basically flat with May, indicating a modest expansion. Sifting below the July U.S. figure, however, the news was mixed — orders improved, but that was offset by falling employment and a pick-up in input prices month over month.
Combine this situation with other recent data — consumer spending, industrial production and durable orders, to name a few — and it points to a domestic economy that remains stuck in second, if not first, gear.
I find that it always is important to parse words from a company’s management team, political figures and, yes, even Ben Bernanke in order to decipher what they are really saying. As I’m sure you’re aware, what is really said can be twisted and shaped in order to spin a compelling headline by the media. I’m afraid that those on CNBC, Fox and others successfully did this once again.
So many IFs in Bernanke’s outlook, it looks like Swiss Cheese. When I read the above phrasings, what jumps out at me are words such as “most likely,” “if the incoming data are broadly consistent with this forecast,” “if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy” and “in this scenario.” To me, this sounds like the Fed’s course, if the domestic economy continues to improve and remains on pace to actually hit the Fed’s 2014 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast of 3-3.5%, up from 2.3-2.6% this year.
So, IF the economy improves from the current quarter’s GDP reading that is likely to fall in the 1.5-2% range and strengthens even further in the coming four quarters, then the Fed will taper. Based on the data we’ve been getting and I mentioned above, the magnitude of the stock market sell-off during the last few days reminds me of a toddler that has just heard “if you don’t behave you will not get any candy.” Much like the toddler, the market simply heard that the candy was going away and totally missed the IF.
I’m not alone in this view. Given the tepid economic data of late, my view is that Bernanke was premature in sharing his potential taper timetable. Even Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard agrees with me — “A more prudent approach would be to wait for tangible signs that the economy was strengthening and that inflation was on a path to return toward target before making such an announcement.” Bullard goes on to say that “…the Committee’s decision to authorize the chairman to lay out a more elaborate plan for reducing the pace of asset purchases was inappropriately timed.” It seems Bernanke was hoping the market would pay closer-than-usual attention to what he was trying to say but failed to communicate properly.
My advice to subscribers to PowerTrend Profits and ETF PowerTrader during the last few days has been to remain calm because the reasons we bought the positions we hold remain intact. In some cases, we’re using the weakness to add selectively to our holdings to drive even bigger profits in the coming weeks and months.
New Bankrate.com survey confirms Cash-Strapped Consumer view. A new study has found that more than three-fourths of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. The study, conducted by Bankrate.com, reports that 76% of those surveyed don’t have enough money in the bank to cover six months of expenses. The study also found that 50% have three months saved, and 27% have no savings at all. This view is a confirming point for my Cash Strapped Consumer perspective. We’ve made some hefty profits by trading Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) and related call options, as well as by investing in McCormick & Co (MKC) and Mondelez International (MDLZ) several months ago. All told, my ETF PowerTrader subscribers made nearly 300% by trading with me on XLP, while PowerTrend Profits subscribers have garnered double-digit percentage gains with MKC and MDZ. With that aspect of my Rise and Fall of the Middle Class PowerTrend intact, and given the recent market pullback, I’ll be looking for additional ways for my subscribers to profit in the coming weeks and months.
Watch my recent appearance on The Wall Street Report where I shared my views on the economy and the stock market, as well as offered a new stock pick.
I’ll be hosting several panels at FreedomFest this year, which takes place July 10-13 in Las Vegas. More details on the show can be found here.

➢ Appropriate Energy Saving Technologies (AEST) converts agricultural waste like, peanut husks into a readily available and clean source of energy used for cooking, both in institutions and households.
The Top 50 of the most innovative African Start-Ups!
Africa has ideas and talent but African start-ups lack access to capital, especially in the first phase of development. In 2014, the first Train My Generation Survey undertaken by the New York Forum AFRICA with the Train My Generation vocational training fund established by the New York Forum Institute in 2013 highlighted this point: 56% of the 5,000 young African respondents pointed to their difficulty in finding funding.
In this context, Richard Attias, founder of the New York Forum Institute, initiated the African Start-up Award in partnership with Le Point Afrique, the on-line edition of Le Point dedicated to Africa launched in March 2014 and France 24.
The Award will support talent and the most creative initiatives, particularly those with a social impact component.

Coffee is grown in a number of typical regions that each have their own characteristics, both because of climate, soil and processing methods each coffee undergoes. While not all of these characteristics are uniform, it’s helpful to become familiar with the overarching differences between growing regions and the coffees they produce. Soil, elevation, rainfall, varietals and how the coffee is processed all affect the end result, making long-term, involved relationships between the roaster/green buyer and the farmer, as well as terrior research projects, extremely important.
Not to over simplify the nuances and particularities of individual growing areas within these larger regions, there are some general characteristics that can be found in South/Central American, African, and Asian/Indonesian/Pacific coffees. These characteristics refer to body, flavor, aromas, and acidity (not referring to pH, but more to brightness in the flavor).
It is common to find that South/Central American coffees tend to be medium bodied with medium acidity. General tasting and aroma notes found in these coffees are chocolate, spice, herbal and sometimes floral heading into South America.
Both Guatemala and Colombia have extremely diverse growing regions with their own microclimates. Guatemala has 8 designated regions: Acatenango Valley, Antigua Coffee, Traditional Atitlan, Rainforest Coban, Fraijanes Plateau, Highland Huehue, New Oriente, and Volcanic San Marcos. Guatemala had been the top producer of coffee in Central America, but was recently surpassed by Honduras. Colombia has three major mountain ranges that make coffee production last all year and produce a wide variety of acidity, body and flavor profiles.
El Salvador is known for producing a great balance between body and complex flavors. The varietals typically used in El Salvador are Bourbon, Typica and Pacas, which is responsible for floral flavor notes, bright acidity, and body. Typically Bourbon and Typica varieties are “neutral” in flavor, allowing the growing region to shine through.
Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer, but most of the coffee is grown in lower elevation and is commercial grade (can coffee!). The specialty coffee produced in Brazil is often used for espresso blends and is processed using the Pulped Natural process. The typical varieties used are Bourbon and Typica as well as some Brazilian varieties such as Icatu, Mundo Novo and Catuai. Catuai offers a brighter flavor than the others, so when drinking a Brazilian, pay attention to the varietal and see if you can taste the difference.
African coffees are known for higher acidity and offer a wide variety of flavor profiles. Acidity in this instance, doesn’t refer to PH, but rather to bright flavors. Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda being some of the most popular regions. Typical flavors can be rich cocoa, berry, winey, and fruit flavors.
The most well known growing areas in Ethiopia are Sidamo and Harrar. Ethiopia is known for producing the world’s best dry or “natural” processed coffees (a way of processing the berry that leaves the fruit in contact with the bean) in both areas. This processing method leaves the coffee with berry flavors that are easily discernible. Kenya has very high standards and structure for producing some of the world’s best washed coffees, lending to their high acidity and bright flavors.
Since coffee is a native plant in Ethiopia, there are hundreds of different varietals. It is common to see numerical names for these different varieties and often they are blended.
Asian, Indonesian and Pacific coffees are known for lower acidity and earthy flavors like aromatic wood. Often the processing of the Indonesian coffees lends to the woody flavors.
Knowing what kind of coffee you like to drink could directly relate to particular growing regions–their processing methods, terrior and varietals. It’s helpful to know these particularities when selecting your coffee, but also to explore other options. Who knew that one could taste three completely different coffees from Ethiopia simply based on where they were grown and how they were processed? These general categories given here are merely a starting point for you to explore these endless nuances. Enjoy!

Wednesday, The Daily Show followed CBS’s lead in trying to shame VP Mike Pence’s wife Karen after it was announced that she would be returning to teaching art to students at a Christian school in Northern Virginia. Because the school is Christian, it holds Christian policies for its students and faculty. Apparently that’s a shocking thing in 2019, as host Trevor Noah took aim at Pence and America’s “crazy” right to religious freedom.
2) Protestants abandoning distinctives like Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide, leaving no substantial difference with Rome. Popularly, the only difference is pop worship bands vs. Smells & Bells.
Catholicism dominates the religious side of American conservative politics.
Thanks a lot, Neil. That is exactly the sort of thing I needed to read, and read it I did. There's nothing like getting it straight from the horse's mouth, and you couldn't get much straighter talking than that speech at the breakfast. There's no doubting it, he is Roman Catholic through and through, and he is what? Vice President of the USA? Wow. Is that better than having an atheist or worse?
Anyway, thanks again, that's a great help.
This is very serious, SC. How could any Christian say such things at a prayer breakfast? ... Is there proof of this stuff? I would like to see a recording of these words.
Catholicism dominates the religious side of American conservative politics. Many noisy media conservatives, like on Fox News, are or were Catholics. Any talk against Rome would get the same response from them and their ecumenical "Protestant" allies as criticizing Martin Luther King around Democrats.
The coastal entertainment elite has always treated Catholicism as Christianity in TV and movies. Celebrities raised Catholic like to joke about their parochial school childhood.
Principled critics like you, me, and the Trinity Foundation have as little public credibility as Flat Earthers in this country. Conservatives in my extended family do not want to hear anything against the Roman Church-State. I was not raised critical of Catholicism; I had to find out for myself, and now it's repulsive to me.
Around the time of the Presidential election,Pence was referred to as RC.
In a meeting around June 2017, he stated “Catholicism has made an indelible mark on the American spirit,” Mr. Pence said at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast. “Your faith has moved mountains, and the Catholic Church and its millions of parishioners have been a force for good in our communities large and small throughout our land, throughout our history."
...seems he ,like Graham, speaks out of both sides of their mouth all the while wanting to remain "the darlings of the Christian community".
...maybe why we're constantly reminded of all the "good" for which they stand.
This is very serious, SC. How could any Christian say such things at a prayer breakfast? I understand that politicians must represent all the electorate, but not to leave their Christianity behind while attending a Catholic prayer breakfast.
Is there proof of this stuff? I would like to see a recording of these words. Imagine being there when he said that the Catholic church and all its members have been a force for good. What!
Did the soup in the soup kitchen in the Baptist basement taste like "holy" water sprinkled with Eucharist animal crackers???
You are correct. This past Sunday at my Baptist Church the sermon by the Senior Pastor was titled "It's Good News. Believe It" from Mark 1:15. It was about the Gospel of salvation. Then after worship there was a soup lunch followed by the annual business meeting in which the budget for 2019 was discussed.
You have summed it well bro. I will keep you and your bride in my prayers.
VP Pence was Roman Catholic, but broke away from the church, not right away, but some time after being born again, either while in college, or in to 90's, somewhere in there. He referred to himself as an evangelical Catholic; a born again Catholic for some time after, but now just refers to himself as an evangelical Christian; a born again Christian.
I don't know why there's still confusion out there (I don't mean here) about him currently being Roman Catholic, but he renounced that part of his life long ago. In fact, I don't know if it's still the case, if she's even alive, but his mom either disowned, or stopped talking to him for some time after because he left the church.
DF wrote: "Notice that they didn't bring up the difference between the VP being Catholic and the wife not, probably because they didn't want to anger any Catholics who are in those types of marital unions, and most likely, they can't tell the difference themselves."
I thought VP Pence was R. Catholic as well, but wikipedia lists a source that says he was converted to a born again evangelical faith while in college.
I think the 'young and hip' watch the Daily Show, but its overall audience share is not huge. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Dave Ramsey draw more people with their radio programs.
But the Daily Show represents the Tip of the Iceberg when it comes to Mainstream Media thoughts on Christianity.
Notice that they didn't bring up the difference between the VP being Catholic and the wife not, probably because they didn't want to anger any Catholics who are in those types of marital unions, and most likely, they can't tell the difference themselves.
When it comes to anything in the Mainstream Media and your local newspapers, I think it is safe to assume that they know nothing of Christianity, the Bible, or any other religion, though they will respect other ones more than Christianity.
Just ask yourself, have they been putting down Hindus for trying to wash away their sins in the River Ganges during the current Kumbh Mela festival?
This is so blasphemous, crude, and wicked! Christians need to use their boycot power and boycott the Daily Show. Pray first then boycott. So grieved by this! Then again, His word tells us to expect persecution.
If the daily show were to read the comments or listen to some of the IFB sermons ( sprinkled) on SA they’d be calling for us to be loaded up , shot and pushed into a ditch and buried for the building of a mega abortion clinic run by transgender men turned into modified monsters.

My alarm buzzed at 2:45 am on Saturday morning. I forced myself to jump out of bed, because I have learned that the longer I lay there wondering why I am doing this again, the harder it is to get up. I forced myself to eat a banana and a clif bar even though I wasn’t hungry with it being the middle of the night. I thought about how in my central time zone brain it was really 1:45 am, and not the time to get up to run. However, I was excited to run with my husband and friends, something we have had planned for four years. We were running the runDisney half marathon, as the first part of Goofy’s Challenge.
We finished getting ready, and headed out the door to meet Jen and Jeff at the busses. Thankfully, there was ZERO line and we hopped right on. Apparently there was a huge line at the Beach Club, so no idea why ours was so short!
Jen and I were both VERY excited about the race and FINALLY getting to run together after these years, and the boys were well, trying to fall back asleep on the bus. We made it to our destination, and after some texting, met up with Karen. If you will remember, Bobby, Karen and I ran the Disney full together in 2011!
I took a couple photos of the family reunion area, and then it was time to check bags and walk to our corral.
We thought we had allowed ourselves plenty of time to walk to our corrals, but I had forgotten about the “cattle herding” that takes place along the long, narrow road leading to the corrals. There was quite a bit of shuffling and mooing (from me and bobby of course) going on.
We remembered there were bathrooms by the corrals so we decided to wait and go then and I am glad we did. The line was MUCH shorter. However, while we were waiting in line we could hear the national anthem. Oops. We hurried up and ran up to the front, and I was able to get a couple of fun photos before jumping into our corral.
I spy Drew Carey! So wee meet again!
We jumped in right as the Corral B fireworks were going off, and we were literally, off and running. Our goal was to take it nice and slow, so that we wouldn’t be sore for the full the next day. We wanted to run walk, and just have fun.
The crowd was pretty thick to start, so we ran two and two as to not clog up the road. The miles flew by for me, because Jen and I chatted the whole time! We took it easy, but even still I was soaking wet due to the very high humidity. Soon enough, we were reaching the Magic Kingdom!
I got a burst of energy as we got closer and closer to my favorite part of the race. A huge thank you to the hundreds of awesome volunteers throughout the race. They were working so hard, and were so encouraging, often yelling out my name, or telling me I was doing a good job. runDisney does a hands down amazing job with it’s race volunteers. There was plenty of water and Powerade, and plenty of aid stations along the course. I was sure to express my thanks whenever I got the chance.
We made a couple more turns, and I could see my beloved icicle lights shining in the distance, and the faint roar of fans cheering on the runners out on Main Street. We turned the corner, and as usual I got chills. The street was packed with screaming fans, all looking for “their” runner. I smiled and waved, and then looked ahead to the beautifully decorated Cinderella Castle. I am so glad they had the icicle lights lit up for us! I tried my best to slow down and soak in the moment, and just LIVE. It was awesome. At one point, Bobby yelled for me to turn around. I wasn’t sure if he was taking photo or video so I just waved, and it’s now one of my favorite race photos!
We continued on our journey, running through Tomorrowland, and around the corner into Fantasyland. The lines for character photos were SO LONG, and while we did want to take it easy, I also didn’t want to be on my feet for over three hours with the marathon the next day, so we bypassed and said we would stop if there was a very short line. (Plus I knew we would get a bunch of photos the next day during the full).
We turned towards the castle, and ran right through it, and back towards the crowds of people.
Do you see my phone in my hand? I live Tweeted and Instagram-ed the whole race!
We made a right turn, and then I spotted a character line with only a couple of people in it, so we decided to stop for a fun photo.
We soldiered on, through the rest of the Magic Kingdom, taking in the scenery and enjoying the race. We made it out onto the road and to my least favorite part of the race. The reason being the road is SO narrow and drops off into the grass (which was wet) so you just kind of get “stuck” behind people. We finally made it out past the Grand Floridian onto the open road, and were able to have some breathing room. We hit the Clif Shots tables and grabbed some GU. I had packets in my skirt pockets and had already taken two at this point and I took a total of three during the race and one before the race.
At this point, mile nine, Jeff decided to go on without us, so he took off to finish the race at his pace. Meanwhile, we kept having fun.
The sun started coming up, and I couldn’t believe we only had a 5k left until we received our shiny new Donald medals. We made the loop up to the overpass, and saw a familiar runDisney site.
We were ordered to “hustle up the hill” so off we went, heading towards EPCOT. We only had a couple miles left, for which i was thankful. While I was barely winded, my feet were starting to hurt from being on them since early that morning. We mad a turn, and were up on another bridge, with EPCOT in our sights.
We made it to Spaceship Earth, and the crowds got thicker and thicker. I loved reading everyone’s creative signs, I just wish I could remember what they all said now!
People were cheering us on with “almost there” chants which can sometimes annoy me when we AREN’T almost there, but I knew we were close, and it was exciting!
We headed towards World Showcase, then made the turn back into Future World, we were in the home stretch now! We picked up the pace because we were so excited!
We were all smiling and excited that part one of our Journey to Goofy was almost complete.
Not only were we doing it, but I was running with two very special people on either side of me.
We could hear the gospel choir singing as we rounded a corner, and sure enough, there they were. The TRUE sign that you are almost home. They sang us all the way around the next corner, and soon enough I could SEE the finish.
I could hear the screaming, we were there!
As we approached the finish line, I felt nothing but joy for how blessed I was. I had made it through day one, with no injuries, and was about to get another medal around my neck, a symbol of hard work and love for the sport.
We lifted our hands in triumph, as a dream four years in the making, friends running Disney together, became a reality.
We crossed in 2:41, then got our medals, grabbed our water, Powerade, and snacks, then headed to bag check to get our bags and take some photos, which is where Jeff found us. Perfect timing!
No I don’t have a tumor on the side of my leg, I still had a gel in my pocket!
We said goodbye to Jen and Jeff and told them we would see them bright and early in the morning for part two. We then headed over to get some food, and I texted Jenn and she came and met us and we got a photo together to match our Disneyland one.
Bobby and I decided to go watch some of the other runners come in before getting on a bus back to our resort.
It was fun to cheer on the other runners, seeing their expressions right before crossing the finish line. Truly priceless. It was then time to get a shower and prepare for the next day.We were 1/3 of the way done. 26.2 miles to go on our quest for Goofy bling. How will it all end?
QOTD: Favorite part of the race? If you didn’t run, what is the character you would most like to see on course?
Thanks for making my morning! So great to relive the half while eating breakfast looking out at the snow in England! 3am was a good wake up time for me as my body clock thought it was 8am. So hard to single out one favourite part – running up Main St & seeing my husband, all the supporters along the way, the high school bands, the gospel choir and forever more will I associate Lady Gaga’s Edge of Glory with that final approach to Epcot! Thanks again!
oh no! snow? I’m so sorry lol!
My favorite part of the race was running through Cinderellas castle…it was so pretty!
I love your pic with the army guy!
My favorite part at Princess was definitely running onto Main Street towards the castle.
, I loved this race but didnt get into the fun until half way through!
Fun recap! Love all your photos. My favorite part of the race was when Cinderella’s castle first came into view. I didn’t know that it was going to have Christmas lights on it, so it was such a nice surprise! I think I actually gasped out loud when I saw it LOL!!
I didn’t either! I totally forgot about the lights!
Congrats! What a great experience, to run with friends!! Can’t wait to read the rest!
Awesome recap girl! I love all the pictures of you running! And I love how you were having so much fun…that’s what it’s all about!!! Can’t wait for the marathon recap!
hahah that photo where you turn around and wave… at first glance I thought your hand was censored. It’s hilarious! A huge smile, the castle covered in lights, and the birdie. Congrats! sounds like you had a blast!!
HAHA. no no, just waving!
Love that you ran with your Husband! I am hoping I can talk mine into running Wine and Dine with me this year.
Great recap and looks like you had a wonderful time as well. The half was so fun for me as I got to relax and be able to be in the moment and enjoying it instead of playing my normal mental time games in my head, lol. The favorite part for me of this race is when I saw my first glimpse of the castle and how gorgeous it was! Made me feel very blessed to be at Disney and running too!
yes! The castle was SO beautiful.
lol! its a talent I tell ya!
I have tears in my eyes reading this because it was SO much fun and really was a dream come true- but also b/c it’s over. 🙁 How many days until Dumbo? Can’t wait to run w/you again!
How fun! I’m definitely doing this someday!!
LOVED reading this! I can’t wait to head to Disney at the end of February! All of the Run Disney recaps I read are so positive!
I have been looking forward to this recap and you didn’t disappoint! Now I can’t wait for the rest. You inspire me so much and I can’t wait to get started with RunDisney. I recently signed up for my first event—Expedition Everest Challenge. It’s no marathon or half-marathon (or both!!) but it’s a start! Know that you are making a difference in the lives of people you don’t even know!!
I know everyone says it, but I can’t wait to run through Cinderella Castle. I know I’ll end up tearing up because I’m a sap like that. Great recap!
It is so much fun to relive the races with race recaps. Love your photos and so nice that you run the races with your husband!
I love your castle pics! I get goosebumps seeing the castle on a regular day. I can’t imagine running through it. Can’t wait to read the next recap!
You are so photogenic when running! I’m jealous. Sounds like such a fun time.
Congrats on a great race! Reading this makes me so excited for the Princess Half next year!
What a great post! Great “play by play” for those of us who weren’t there! So exciting! Makes me MORE excited for my first Run Disney race, the Disney half in September! I was able to sneak in with the early registration at the Tinker Bell expo this past weekend! Yay! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats!! Great recap – it’s getting me excited for Princess! 🙂 My favorite part of any Disney race is definitely turning down Main Street and running towards the castle!

Sixteen-year-old H.F. (named Heavenly Faith by her religious grandmother) has been raised by her grandmother ever since her teenage mother abandoned her as a baby. H.F. finds it hard growing up poor in the small, narrow-minded town, because she's different than all the other girls. She doesn't care about how she dresses, and she doesn't like boys. She likes girls—and has a crush on a beautiful girl named Wendy. The only person who understands her and who knows about her crush is Bo, a gay boy who is regularly beaten by local boys and by his father.
H.F. and Wendy become friends, and one night they make love. For H.F., it's the most beautiful, right thing that has ever happened to her. But the next morning, Wendy freaks out and rejects her. H.F. takes this hard, but the blows aren't over yet. When she gets home, she finds out that her grandmother has known all along where her mother lives. Confused, hurt, and angry, and wanting to run from the pain, H.F. convinces Bo to help her find her mother, and together they take off to find her in another state. And find her they do, only she's not like anything H.F. thought she would be.
H.F. and Bo also meet up with a number of lesbians and gays in the big city, and this helps them be a little more comfortable about who they are. And when H.F. finally gets home, Wendy takes her back. The ending was a little too easily wrapped up, and the story was at times almost preachy about gay issues, gay churches, etc., but the book still remains a vivid story with color, atmosphere, and strong characters—a story worth reading.

I grew up in the family where food was always loved and appreciated. There certainly wasn’t an abundance of choice at the time I was growing up in Moscow but in retrospect I think it was a good thing. Fairly often my extended family had get togethers, where grandparents, parents and children, as well as aunts and uncles and other relatives and friends were at the table, a variety of delicious courses was eaten with gusto, wine or other spirits were shared and tea and cakes were indulged in. Conversation flowed and I still lookback so fondly, missing those great occasions when people felt close to each other, even if they argued about a book, a personality or politics.
Both of my grandmothers were very able cooks and if I close my eyes tightly I still remember the colours and the flavours-my paternal grandmother’s juicy meat pie, a slice of which I tried to put in my mouth as soon as it came out of the oven, my maternal grandmother’s unreplicated fried potatoes and meat patties ( cutlets), my aunt’s ‘julienne mushrooms’ in cocote…. My mother was ( and still very much is ! ) a magician in the kitchen too, easily organising a meal at a drop of a hat if my father came home with his colleagues at short notice or if they had a party with friends, when 20 or 30 people easily crammed into our fairly modest by current standards apartment-the joy of those occasions, where songs and music filled the room, people danced and talked and felt so close to each other resonates deeply within me, especially now when people tend to concentrate on their own voes rather than hug their friends and relatives close.
Having lived in London for a long-time I have acquired different food tastes and my travels ( with family, friends or on my own ) also allowed me to expand my foodie horizons-I was very lucky, as my parents took me to Latvia and Lithuania ( and Georgia and Crimea on a couple of occasions ) from the age of two for the summer holidays and on most days we went out to dinner and I was allowed to sit with my parents and eat like a grown-up ( well, sort of ). My parents also often took me with them to have lunch at hotels National and Metropol in Moscow and I can still remember their incredible meat pastries ( pirozhki ) eaten together with a big and hearty bowl of chicken or beef bouillon.
Times have changed, there is abundance of choice and variety and I might find Russian cuisine too heavy on most occasions, but once in a while I get a surge of nostalgia about my childhood, happy times and shared meals and really crave delicious, home-made Russian food. Yes, my mother indulges me when she visits me or I make eyes at her when we go to Moscow, pleading for pelmeni, or pancakes or meat pie, specific egg omelette and ‘hedgehogs’, aka tefteli in Russian, which are similar to meatballs but are made with rice and cooked in a rich sauce with soured cream and tomato paste.
There are a few Russian restaurants in London but until recently none satisfied my craving for delicious and old-fashioned ( in the best sense of the word ) Russian cuisine. And then I started hearing rumblings that Mari Vanna, was coming to town. Mari Vanna, according to Russian folk tales, invited guests into her home and fed them simple but delicious home-made, traditional Russian dishes. There is one restaurant in Moscow, another in St. Petersburg and one was opened in New York-why not London I was grumbling, when my Russian or NY friends told me about their fun dinners there. I sulked; time passed and Russians only opened Japanese or Italian or Chinese restaurants in London, while the odd Russian one was way below the par, in terms of both food and service.
Finally, earlier this year one of my girlfriends told me that there was a ‘soft opening’ of Mari Vanna but her initial reaction was mixed, both in terms of food and service. Friends opinions do matter but you can’t rely on someone to form your own judgement, can you? So, I roped my best friend in for company and off we went to explore the possibilities.
Located in Knightsbridge, almost across from Mr. Chow and a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, Harvey Nichols and al, this quaint and very cosy restaurant is welcoming guests. With abundant flower pots framing an old bicycle tied to the railings, you go up the steps towards the front door, where old-fashioned door bells are dotted around it. As soon as you open the door and walk in, time rolls back, as if you were transported back to Russia in the 60s and 70s.
Smiling and sweet reception girls welcome you in, while you look around in wonder- at the walls decorated with old newspapers, wallpaper, mirrors; at the quaint objects like old framed photoes and postcards, porcelaine figurines, crocheted place mats, enamel jars, which many Russians miss now, yet were too quick to throw away not so long ago. The whole decor ( dreamed up by Megre Interiors ) makes my eyes glisten and the heart skip a beat every time I go to Mari Vanna.
The main dining room is located at ground floor, while downstairs you have a private dining room, a place to have tea with a laid-back sitting area where adults can relax and kids can be entertained and watch Russian cartoons, ranging from the old classics like 38 parrots to the current ones, like Masha and the Bear (Sunday is a particularly good day to go to the restaurant with the kids but staff welcomes kids during the day too, smiling and bringing them paper and crayons for entertainment. After all, ‘a grandmother will never turn a child away, will she’ ?). The whole place feels more like a cosy family home, rather than a restaurant. You have guest DJs on Fridays and Saturdays, film screenings, magician shows, acoustic guitar and wonderfully mellow Russian romance songs that are sung ‘live’ on certain says, so you have a collective energy vibe, which really will re-adjust your expectations and opinion of the Russians, hopefully giving way to good Russian energy.
Mari Vanna is co-owned by Russian entrepreneurs Vadim Lapin & Dmitry Sergeyev, founders of a well-known and popular in Russia Ginza Project group. They combined their efforts in London with the man about town Luca Del Bono, who has a wide-reaching experience in hospitality business and is a very well-known personality on the social circuit in Europe and the UK.
During my first few visits in the spring the food and the wait time were variable, pirozhki at times were a little burnt at the bottom and staff seemed a little hesitant when it came to explaining certain dishes on the menu, but what I found refreshing and endearing was that the service was sweet and attentive. On one occasion I called to ask whether I needed to book a table, as I was coming with a girlfriend and the kids and was told, no, you don’t need a reservation- only to be told exactly the opposite when we actually came in. Yes, we had to wait ten minutes or so to be seated but the food was great and kids loved it. We ordered cranberry morse ( it is made daily on the premises and you can also try one made from fresh raspberries, which is just so delicious I actually sometimes pop into the restaurant just to drink a carafe of it ). My best friend’s kids ( as well as my own ) absolutely loved it and kept on empting their glasses much to our delight. I also highly recommend to try kvass, which really reminds me of my childhood, when you had to queue for it with an enamle bidon ( like a big jar with a lid and a metalic carrier handle ) and then drank it greedily, with some of it running down your face ( it is best drunk in spring and summer, if you want to be guided by Russian traditions, as it quenches the thirst really well in the warm months ).
–Cold Starters and Salads ( try ‘Kholodetz’, a cold dish of jellied veal and chicken meat which is served with horseradish and mustard-it’s a ‘must’ dish if you are nursing a bit of a hangover from the day before; another Russian favourite, a salad called ‘Vinegret’ which is a combination of carrots, beetroot, pickled cucumbers and baked potatoes, ‘dressed’ with sunflower oil-my mother, who is a whizz with this recipe said this one was just ok in her opinion; salad ‘Olivier’ which is always served on New Year’s night and is in itself a staff of Russian folklore and humour-I have known occasions when people fell asleep with their faces in it during festivities; or ‘Herring in shuba-coat’, which is a layered salad of salted herring, potatoes and beetroot dressed with light mayonnaise ).
–Soups ( ‘Ukha’, a Russian fish soup, which has a very rich flavour and is full of vitamins and goodness or you can go for another Russian favourite, which has Ukrainian roots, called ‘Borsch’. It is a beef and beetroot soup served with pampushka and soured cream and it really warms you up during cold and gloomy months ).
-Main Dishes ( try Siberian Pelmeni, which are made with beef and pork and are served with butter and sour cream, or chicken fritters with mashed potatoes and salted cucumbers-a great dish to introduce children to Russian cuisine; ‘Golubtzi’ -cabbage leaves stuffed with rice, pork and veal or ‘Beef stroganoff’ which is served with buckwheat and wild mushrooms-this is such a perfect and tender dish, it makes me think of cold winter evenings when I was a child, living in Moscow and a plate of this eaten for dinner made me feel sated, warm and happy; or try the seasonal offering of ‘Duck breast with cowberry sauce’ ).
–Side dishes ( depending on your tastes try buckwheat with mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes sprinkled with dill and aromatic flavoured dressing, or fried potatoes with wild mushrooms-my maternal grandmother used to make this dish and to this day, no matter how good it is, I think of my grandmother’s recipe every time I eat fried potatoes-she must have sprinkled something magical over it. Or the way my father used to make it for us on special occasions, when my brother and I were children and my mum was late, having been editing newspapers articles in the office ).
–Desserts ( now, let me be honest here-this is my favourite section. The pastry lady who came from Russia and makes all the pastries in Mari Vanna’s kitchen is amazing and the cakes that she creates are probably one of the best, if not the best in town. Women in my family made great cakes and I miss the taste of my childhood, when I had tea-time with ‘day and night’ cake or waffles with whipped cream and strawberries or ‘Ukrainian’ tort that my mother made. My mother-in-law makes the most delicious Napoleon cake and every time I go to Moscow I ask her to make it for me. Well, the pastry lady chef in Mari Vanna is certainly a cooking professional to be reckoned with, as her Napoleon is a masterpiece of deliciousness! Alternatively, there is Honey cake, Sweet dumplings with morello cherries or Bird’s nest cake ( a triumph of chocolate outer shell and soft and tender inside ). Current autumn treat on Mari Vanna’s menu is baked apples with honey and raisins-whatever you try, you will savour every spoonful and I bet you will be coming back for more ).
Going to Mari Vanna for a cup of tea and cake feels truly indulgent and I do that when I need a bit of cheering up-my approach is to eat a slice of outstanding cake on occasion rather than eat mediocre offerings that all of us are likely to grab during a lunch break. Those desserts are truly indulgent and rich, like a dessert should be like-home-made with fresh ingredients and love. If you like drinking tea, try the ones on the menu, buckthorn berry tea gets my vote to shift cold and viruses that are ripe at the moment!
The team who works at Mari Vanna is international, some are Russian and some aren’t but everyone is fairly young and enthusiastic and it makes all the difference ( the waiters have an easy-going camaraderie mixed with a little bit of flirting that creates a lovely, theatre like atmosphere ). The management seems to find the right people that manage to create a cosy, family like atmosphere that makes you exhale and relax as soon as you come through the door-and believe me, I don’t say that lightly, especially when it comes to Russian owned restaurants in London.
You sit in the chair, look around, listen to the Russian music that is laced with both joy and melancholy, you dream of things past and look into the future. I certainly feel nostalgic when I go to Mari Vanna and this is the best compliment, really-they created something current and fun, that is unique to London, which is over saturated with restaurants and Russians, and yet it is sweet and welcoming and it feels like your grandmother’s home, with no dust, just precious pieces and nostalgia that makes you smile, rather than feel sad.

All women are called to model true motherliness, and all men are called to model true fatherliness, regardless of whether they’ve ever begotten or given birth to a child. These qualities refer to the essence of the being, and not merely the function. Motherly women use their feminine gifts to nurture and uplift the rest of the world. Fatherly men use their gifts to guide and support the rest of the world. The roles are complementary and interdependent; both are vital to the formation of a well-rounded and balanced society.
If you are a man, choose a fatherly quality to work on today. Perhaps you could be a more just and patient leader or offer encouragement to someone who is experiencing a failure of some kind. If you are a woman, choose a motherly quality to work on today. Perhaps you can reach out to someone with an emotional or spiritual need, or prepare a special dish for someone who’d really appreciate it.

The Institute for History is pleased to announce the launch of a new research program: Cosmopolis Advanced, an initiative of the Institute for History at Leiden University (LU) in partnership with Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta.
The research programme offers a unique opening for advanced international students who ultimately aim for a Leiden PhD degree in the fields of Colonial & Global History or Archival & Postcolonial Studies. PhD projects will primarily be based on the study of more than 20 kilometres of Dutch archival materials (mainly in The Netherlands, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa). As such, this program builds on the experience of its predecessors TANAP (2000-2007), ENCOMPASS (2006-2012) and COSMOPOLIS (2012-2017), which have trained students from all over the world in the use of the Dutch archives for Colonial and Global History.
The still underexplored Dutch historical archives contain a wealth of detailed information on the history of countries surrounding the Indian Ocean and the Chinese Seas. Despite the fact that more and more of these resources are becoming digitally available, few scholars possess the language, archival, and historical skills to explore these resources. This is particularly true for the early modern era (1600-1800) as covered by the activities of the Dutch East India Company, the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC). Cosmopolis Advanced provides the one and only international centre for training such skills.
Cosmoplis Advanced consists of an 18-month Advanced MA program, followed by a 42-month PhD program. For more information, see here. The program starts with an intensive Dutch language course in the Summer. In the current round, five full MA scholarships are available for start around July 2019. Applications are due 1 December 2018, and successful candidates will be notified before 1 February 2019. See here for information on how to apply.

Discussion in 'The Projects Forum' started by Vanush, Oct 16, 2010.
Im trying to build a IR remote control to switch of televisions. If you don't know already, the codes are pulse width modulated on/off times using a 38khz carrier wave. I've got the hardware and know the method, but Im having issues getting the on/off times from my remote.
Im using a sound card oscilloscope, which is a probe connceted to the signal output by my IR receiver. I'm using MATLAB to get the on/off times. The problem is that it doesn't work.
As you know, sound cards have a sampling frequency of 44.1Khz and most IR remote controls operate around 38Khz. So obviously I will experience some aliasing. Is there any way to recover the correct on/off times ?
What about using a proper receiver circuit and demodulating the signal first? Then you will see nice squares with correct on/off times. For example this.
I have to agree with kubeek.
If you use the proper receiver, it will only display the on/off times and pull the 38kHz signal out.
That would be the best route.
Also, there are a couple of circuits on this forum that have done that, AND you may want to look up the TV-B-GONE. It is an open-source tv-remote that has thousands of tv on-off codes.
Look at the clones as well.
I'm not sure what the difference is between the standard IR receiver that I am using an the 'proper' receiver - is it just that the proper receiver will get rid of the 38khz signal?
The actual Information is taken by getting rid of the carrier.
Yes, simply said, data sent through the transmitter will appear on the receiver the way they were sent.
The other option is to use a regular old oscilloscope with a basic, linear IR receiver diode. Assuming your IR receiver is adequate (anything faster than CdS), you should be able to easily see the multi-kHz modulation, divided up into batches of on-off periods.
The problem is that you are trying to sample a frequency that is far beyond audio with an audio card. The sample frequency of even a cheap digital scope is many times the 44kHz of the sound card. Any analog scope would be able to see it also. Audio sampling, and Matlab are overkill, but with inadequate tools.
I made an extended range remote for my camera using both a BitScope and a Fluke 95. Both showed the needed info easily. Now I have a remote that works further away than I ever want to be from my camera.
Say I want to replicate an arbitrary remote, i need to know the carrier frequency. Since my normal IR receiver has a Band pass filter centered on 38khz - (the spectrum from the remote has already been filtered) - i dont think there's a way to recover the frequency of the original carrier wave?
You could probably just guess and then try transmitting to see which has the best range. It's probably 36, 38, or 40KHz.
Most recievers have a fairly wide tolerance so you might find that they all work, but one is better.
I used my PICKIT2 and that worked perfectly as a logic tracer.
IR remote controls transmit data, not PWM. The data must be sent as bursts so that the IR receiver stays at a high gain. Continuous 38kHz IR causes the IR receiver to reduce its gain thinking that it is interference from a compact fluorescent light bulb that operates and blinks at 38kHz.
This could be handy, click the links on the left for extra protocols.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has brought his 17-year career at Anfield to an "emotional" end after playing his final home match for the club.
The 34-year-old was given a rousing reception by supporters in his 709th game for the Reds, which ended in a 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.
"It was very emotional. An unbelievable send-off," he told BBC Sport.
"I am very proud looking back at the last 17 years and I will never forget this day."
He added: "It's a day I've been dreading, because I will miss it so much."
Gerrard will play his final game for his hometown club away at Stoke next weekend, before leaving to play for LA Galaxy in the United States in the summer.
Liverpool supporters arrived at Anfield hours before the game against Palace to pay tribute to the former England midfielder, who was given a guard of honour by both teams on his way to the pitch before kick-off.
The result did not match the sense of anticipation in the ground, with Palace coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1.
But the Liverpool faithful roared its approval as Gerrard addressed the crowd after the game, while his team-mates looked on, all wearing shirts with the name Gerrard and the number eight on the back.
"Steven got a wonderful send-off and he gave everything right to the end," said Reds manager Brendan Rodgers.
"It was fantastic for him and his family but obviously the result and performance were disappointing.
"Steven is a player and a person who is irreplaceable in terms of what he has given over his time here. The standards he has set have been second to none."
Eagles manager Alan Pardew paid his own tribute to Gerrard, saying: "For me, he's carried the nation at times. We should all be honoured to have someone who has conducted himself as Steven has."
Gerrard was asked about the possibility of him returning to Liverpool on loan in the future.
"I wanted to say goodbye in a proper way," he said.
"The only way I'd ever come back would be an emergency situation, but I hope I'm not needed come the winter."
"You have to be good enough. This is a big club and can be brutal at times.
"It was a cruel blow losing Luis Suarez in the summer [to Barcelona] and Daniel Sturridge's injuries.
"But there is a big core of potential and it's important we strengthen to compete and bridge that gap between the top sides."
"It will be a difficult challenge, with less pressure, but I want to play for a few more years.
"Only then will I decide what's next for me."

The PF1000U's weight and size—at 4 pounds 14 ounces and 4.5 by 5.2 by 11.1 inches (HWD)—make it easy to handle. They also eliminate any need to tie the projector down with wires, as you should with a big, heavy TV, to prevent it from accidentally falling over.
To get a 90-inch image (measured diagonally) the front of the projector has to be just 12 inches from the screen. The rear of the projector, where the image bounces off a mirror on the way to the screen is just 23 inches away.
Connection options include two HDMI ports and an Ethernet port. In addition, there are both component- and composite-video inputs, two USB Type A ports, mini-jack and optical audio outputs, and the coax connector for RF input.

A world map is a map of most or all of the occur of the Earth. World maps form a distinctive category of maps due to the problem of projection. Maps by necessity distort the presentation of the earth’s make headway. These distortions reach extremes in a world map. The many ways of projecting the earth reflect diverse technical and aesthetic goals for world maps.
A map is set foot on using a map projection, which is any method of representing a globe on a plane. All projections distort distances and directions, and every projection decentralizes those distortions differently. Perhaps the the highest well known projection is the Mercator Projection, originally designed as a nautical chart.
Maps of the world prevalently focus either on political features or on physical features. Political maps emphasize territorial strictures and human settlement. Physical maps show geographic features such as mountains, soil type or land use. Geological maps show not only the near, but characteristics of the underlying rock, fault lines, and subsurface structures. Choropleth maps use color hue and intensity to contrast differences between localities, such as demographic or economic statistics.
Early world maps cover depictions of the world from the Iron Age to the Age of Discovery and the emergence of modern geography during the early contemporary period. Old maps provide much information with regard to what was known in times past, as well as the philosophy and cultural basis of the map, which were often much unique from the latest cartography. Maps are single means by which scientists disperse his perceptions and pass them on to about to happen generations.


text: Description This two-page document consists of a notice of appeal and an accompanying letter from UNCG Student Government Association (SGA) Vice President Cheryl Sosnik and former vice president Jacqueline Coleman to UNCG Chancellor James Sharbrough Ferguson, dated May 3, 1973. The appeal contends that the Neo-Black Society is a discriminatory organization, that the chancellor overstepped his authority, that correct procedures were followed, and that the Student Senate was deprived of due process. On March 26, 1973, SGA had voted to reclassify (removed funding and recognition from) the Neo-Black Society. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration on the basis of faulty evidence and improper procedure by SGA, resulting in an eventual legal case that led to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization.

I have my good times as well as negative days. Considering that having this I have the capacity to regulate my indicators better compared to if I must handle these conditions and also handicaps on my own. That's not just as good as taking the fallen leave on its own, but way better than coping with my handicaps as well as problems on my very own. This creates me much more social and less restless out in public. I am actually aiming to persuade moms and dads along with little ones that possess ASDs and Learning Disabilities to give this a try out.
I have osteo arthritis. Dr said headed toward rheumatoid. Upped medicines to much higher milligrams, and along with Tylenol arthritis. Ache was boosting. Actually checked out this in a manual. Thus started researching myself. Decided to attempt. 1 teaspoon in the morning combineded with my oat meal or coffee, night in dairy or in food. Amazing! I now have one med in the evening, as well as the teaspoon of oil in the early morning. Can not take oil at night., because couldn't sleep, despite a sleep med. Quite happy with my investment of this oil. Oh, and helpful for your skin also.
Hemp seed oil or that off the stem possess cannabinoids in them, CBD as well as THC are actually however two of those.
Most all hemp oils right here on Amazon are obtained coming from industrial hemp which possesses nearly no THC as well as simply a tiny quantity from CBD. Nevertheless that still consists of several of the other cannabinoids as well as basic elements.
I have sleeplessness and usage 1 tsp per day before mattress. I have been actually resting like a child. There are none of the next time groggy edge influences off over the counter meds. My spouse has arthritis in his knees and also has been capable to stop using the leg prepare and possesses no discomfort. My power is up as is my husbands. I use this on my skin layer after a shower and this is actually extremely absorbable and also functions miracles. For our team, this has actually been actually a miracle in a container.
These are actually helpful for lots of folks. Thus while these oils primarily possess no CBD in them they may still assist with some health issues.
I bought this as a supplement for my dogs. One has a health condition that leads to problems along with his skin layer, the various other is actually delicate to yard and also tickles a great deal. After going through a write-up about CBD oil and its perks along with dogs (exclusively skin layer issues, directly), I needed to provide that a try. Holding your horses is vital, I've read through to anticipate 6+ full weeks prior to viewing end results.
Until now I'm extremely pleased with the product and my dogs.

Miss scratchy trousers is actually a lot improved after four full weeks, she is actually tickling much less and does not seem in order to get as irritated after stomach moving down her preferred mountain in the garden.
Some folks might feel substantial effects coming from a little quantity of hemp oil and others could experience nothing.
So I experience migraines and rather than feeding myself acetomenophen I chose to attempt this. I acquired my feeling which is my prewarning one is actually coming thus I took this, 6 hrs later no migraine and strengthened state of mind and mental clearness and power.

One night while I was clicking through the menu on the digital cable guide I saw a program titled, The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off, filmed by TLC (The Learning Channel). With such an attention grabbing title I couldn’t resist. It was a documentary that featured a young man named Jonny Kennedy. Jonny lived in the U.K and was diagnosed with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa as a young child. The severity of the condition was immediately apparent by the physical condition of the boy. Continuous pain and discomfort was quite obvious and his mother had to constantly care for him by taking care of his wounds and bandages. It took the boy’s mother and a nurse to take care of him and the attention he needed was a 24 hour a day job. The devastation EB can have on not only the person suffering from it but the family is enormous. The severity of EB was summed up in one sentence when Jonny says at one point in the program that “he wishes he was never born.” For me personally, the most moving thing about the story of this person was even though his health was declining and he knew roughly how long he had to live he didn’t loath in pity but rather went out and did his best to experience life and make as many friends as he could. I was amazed at his sense of humor and the way he was able to joke around about the condition that would eventually kill him. He made me realize just how precious life is and how lucky I am. Despite his constant pain and lack of mobility Johnny campaigned to raise money to find a cure for EB right up until his death. The documentary he allowed TLC to film of the last months of his life has raised Ј500,000 and was voted as number six in the Fifty Greatest Documentaries as voted by industry professionals such as respected film makers and journalists.(debra.org.uk) He made it known just how strongly he wanted a cure for other’s with his condition because himself and his family knew all too well of its effects. The show ends with his death and funeral but it was not a funeral of complete sadness and mourning. Everyone including himself knew he was going to die soon and they also believed he was going somewhere better. It was sad because you could see that the people in the funeral home had lost a good friend but it was as if they were relieved to see that he was no longer in pain. This story was the motivation for me to research the skin condition EB and more particularly Dystrophic EB. In my paper I will give a general overview of the condition, other health problems that can arise and the care and treatment involved.

The organizers believe that the social dimension of the conference is a natural extension of its scholary program. The Friday evening, February 8th, at 19:30, is the time of the Social Dinner in 2019.
As in previous years, The Great Monastery Restaurant has been selected to host the Social Dinner.
Founded A.D. 1140 by Duke Vladislav II. of Bohemia, the Strahov Monastery became a traditional centre of knowledge with its priceless library, today of 200 thousand books, including about three thousand manuscripts.
The organizers hope that XML Prague participants will feel comfortably in the intimate vicinity of such a huge amount of, sometimes rather vaguely structured, data.
The Monastery also serves as The Museum of Czech Literature today.
And as elsewhere in Europe, monks are renown for mastering the beer brewing….
The Monastery overlooks the city historic quarters and the Prague Castle. There is public transport connection to the Monastery, by the tramway line No. 22 to the Pohorelec stop. Use Prague Public Transport planner IDOS to find a suitable connection, or ask organizers for connection suggestions.
XML Prague Night is a social dinner, that is open to XML Prague participants with the full-pass option, and for their accompanying persons with the supplementary social dinner pass.
It’s the place to be whether you’re participating or just coming along to join in the fun and have a free beer.
Want to be part of the demojam then here’s what you need to know….
You get 5 minutes – no more to demo whatever you want. Remember there needs to be some XML in there somewhere.
You will learn how to apply for DemoJam slot during Friday.
Judging is by audience participation: if you make the crowd cheer the loudest, you win – judges’ decision is FINAL.

Step-wise picture recipe to make one of the most gorgeous and delicious cakes, Eggless Rasmalai Cake – an Indian fusion that’s worth trying!
I made cake for the first time this year, putting my cake pans to best use since we moved to our new home. Things have been so busy lately that I am neither doing a lot of cooking or baking, something I love quite a lot. Homemade pizzas are making their way during the weekends and that’s it, no more breads or cakes. I got a great chance to amend that last week – the husband celebrated his birthday and I wanted to make a special cake for him. After a lot of thought, I decided on Eggless Rasmalai Cake.
Rasmalai is such a delicious Indian dessert and we as a family absolutely love it. Given limited time and ingredients, I wanted to make something simple but then again, if the result looks great – I thought why not?! Eggless Rasmalai Cake is a fusion of Indian dessert combined with the flavors of the cake and I must say that the fusion works really well.
The base of the Eggless Rasmalai Cake is flavored with cardamom powder and what would have worked well is some almond essence but I made do with vanilla essence. The cake is very similar to the eggless vanilla cake I usually make with slight modifications – I must say, this is the best eggless Vanilla Cake I have ever made.
I am not very great with my cake decorations and have trouble finding good quality diary based whipping cream here. Amul whipping cream does not work very well and I usually mix in non-diary whipping cream powder. I made Rasmalai before hand and used them for decorating this Eggless Rasmalai cake. As the husband doesn’t like too much cream, I used the bare minimum required and dressed the cake with freshly chopped pistachios and almonds. As this cake is oil-based, it keeps really well and moist in the fridge for a few days – doesn’t dry out at all. Quite delicious all the way!
Gorgeous Eggfree Rasmalai Cake recipe!
Preheat oven at 180°C for 10-12 mins and grease, line two 6” round baking pans with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients – all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder and salt. Mix it really well. It could be sieved as well.
In another mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients – milk, curd, oil, vanilla essence and sugar.
Mix the ingredients with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Now make a well at the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture.
Fold it in gently such that there are no lumps.
Pour the batter equally into the greased, lined baking pans.
Bake at 180°C for 30-40 mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Invert the cakes and remove the parchment paper. Let them cool down completely.
Add Ras (thick milk from Rasmalai) to the whipping cream mixture.
Whip the cream until soft peaks are formed. I added a pinch of yellow food color.
Trim the tops off the cake to make it even.
Brush liberally with Ras (thick milk from Rasmalai) all over the cake.
Spread a layer of whipping cream evenly on the cake.
Place the other cake and apply a layer of cream on the top as well as the sides.
Decorate with rasmalai and sprinkle finely chopped pistachios & almonds all over.
Chill it until ready to serve. Stores well in the fridge for 4-5 days.
1. Preheat oven at 180°C for 10-12 mins and grease, line two 6” round baking pans with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients – all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder and salt. Mix it really well. It could be sieved as well.
3. In another mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients – milk, curd, oil, vanilla essence and sugar.
4. Mix the ingredients with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
5. Now make a well at the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture.
6. Fold it in gently such that there are no lumps.
7. Pour the batter equally into the greased, lined baking pans.
8. Bake at 180°C for 30-40 mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
9. Invert the cakes and remove the parchment paper. Let them cool down completely.
10. Add Ras (thick milk from Rasmalai) to the whipping cream mixture.
11. Whip the cream until soft peaks are formed. I added a pinch of yellow food color.
12. Trim the tops off the cake to make it even.
13. Brush liberally with Ras (thick milk from Rasmalai) all over the cakes.
14. Spread a layer of whipping cream evenly on the cake.
15. Place the other cake and apply a layer of cream on the top as well as the sides.
16. Decorate with Rasmalai and sprinkle finely chopped pistachios & almonds all over.
17. Chill it until ready to serve. Stores well in the fridge for 4-5 days.
This makes for 2 6” cakes or one 7” or 8” round cake. I didn’t want the hassle of cutting through the cake at the center and just used two pans.
I just made small-sized Rasmalai following my recipe instead of making them flat.
Adjust sweetness of the whipping cream by adding icing sugar along with Ras. If using whipping cream powder, it is already sweetened – don’t have to use any icing sugar.
Hi Nidhi, My 1 cup measures 250ml. Hope this helps.

Unlike a conventional strap filter, tightening and turning are two completely separate operations. Conventional filter wrenches use the first 1/4 turn (or more) of the handle just tightening the strap against the filter. If you're working in a confined space, you're left with no more room to actually turn the filter!
The wrench uses a knurled knob to tighten the metal band against the filter. The band contacts the filter almost all the way around for even pressure, while small dimples in the band give it even better grip. Once the band is tight, use the knob as the handle to turn the filter. Even if the wrench slips, you don't have to take it off and reposition it. Just give the knob another twist!
Easily adjusts to fit any spin-on filter from 2.5" to 4.3" (55 to 110mm) diameter.
