I reviewed Tesco's chocolate and toffee filled hot cross buns last week, and found them to be very nice indeed. There were none of their fruity counterparts available at that time, a fact which I lamented, but I finally found a packet the other day. I'm always fond of a bit of blueberry, and the citrus element thrown in intrigued me as well, but did these live up to the expectation?
While the chocolate ...

This group of women from Nagire Presbyterian Church were distraught when their church’s Haos blong ol Mama (women’s house) was damaged in Cyclone Pam. So when a group of New Zealanders kindly stepped in to help, providing sewing lessons and machines that the women could use to upgrade their sewing skills, they jumped at the chance.

Happy First Day of Spring! I know, as many of us are looking at more than a few snowflakes in our ten-day forecasts, it’s hard to believe, but technically, it’s spring.

You can concern life like something made of stairs; so from this point of view there are those whom goes up and those whom goes down.I think, my dear reader, that you can understand easily my metaphor and I am sure that if we develop this idea we can discover interesting things. So let’s do it, and don’t worry, because as usual I will hold your hand and I will bring you there.
Many people in all the World make a lot of efforts to have a good career ...

You know the old saying that “opposites attract?” A new study has found that there is probably little if any truth to it. Researchers at Wellesley College and the University of Kansas found that people are drawn to others who are like-minded, not those who are different.

I find myself in the midst of mental and physical investigations, leading towards the first activities of the New York Palate League. Pairing after pairing is not about going wild with pairings and testing the wildest allowed, not about looking for the most daring combination. The goal is to expand the horizon, learn to appreciate what single tasting and paired tasting bring, and, especially, to better understand what could occur within a given spectrum.

were you planning on participating in the 3-day fast that is set to start this evening in order to affect the security situation?

You might (or might not) want to rethink that. According to Yaki Adamker, the Chief Rabbi, Rav Yitzchak Yosef, has said that people should not fast - we are not in the days of Mordechai and Esther and this would cause bittul torah. Rav Yosef said it is enough to fast on Taanis Esther.

I think it is responsible of the Chief Rabbi to speak ...

I have not heard the term "Orthoprax" in a few years, though for a while it was popular and perhaps trendy. I think, if I remember correctly, the descriptor "Orthoprax", at least when used in reference to the frum community, referred to people who were Orthodox Jews and continued to appear so and have stayed part of the frum community both socially and in appearance, but in private they do not practice religion, or they do but to a lesser degree than they used to and than what is normally expected in a frum community.

The Philippines initially wasn't on our radar. Thailand, yes. Cambodia, yes. Vietnam, yes. The Philippines however, we'd heard very little about, and hadn't considered it as a destination.

So what do you need to know about the Philippines? The headlines - stunning scenery, crystal clear seas, incredibly friendly people and an emerging traveling scene. We spent two weeks here and in hindsight would have much longer.

We flew to Manila from Heathrow, via Doha, with Qatar airways. It took about 14 hours... Читать дальше...

According to most definitions, an entrepreneur is one who envisions a new and different business, meaning one that is not a copy of an existing business model. Many entrepreneurs have a passion and an idea, or even invent a new product, but are never able to execute to the point of creating a startup. Even fewer are able to grow the startup into a viable business.

Jim Kouri reports for Conservative Base, March 19, 2016:

A number of cyber-terrorist hackers who claim they are affiliated with the notorious Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) reportedly posted a “hit list” that provides not only the names of 36 Minnesota law enforcement officers, but also personal details about the targeted cops.

“Caliphate Cyber Army” (CCA) have taken responsibility for posting the full names, home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers of the targeted policemen. Читать дальше...

Mary Ward was a bestselling novelist of the late Victorian period, but was regarded as a little old fashioned by the time this novel was written. She was also a notable public figure, campaigning tirelessly for education for women (including the founding of Somerville College, Oxford) and education for children, especially those with disabilities.  Nevertheless, and in spite of her own evident capabilities, she was strongly opposed to women’s suffrage.

this was hard to watch (at least parts of it), but I like the message...

17 miles west of Norwich in Norfolk’s rural heartlands lies the sleepy market town of Hingham, home to just under 2,500 country cousins. Not much happens in Hingham. The sun rises, the sun sets and the seasons turn. That’s about it. The town’s main claim to fame is as the ancestral seat of two famous Yankee clans – the Lincolns (as in Abraham) and the Gilmans (as in Nicholas Gilman, signatory to the US Constitution). But that was a long, long time ago. Now, heavy-eyed Hingham has woken up to a newsflash. Читать дальше...

こんにちは, 日本!
Hello from Tokyo! A break in usual Sundaze proceedings this week because I'm in Japan for a little holiday with my brother and sister. We've come away for two glorious weeks, especially for sakura season, so it's more of a leisure break and less of a working break.
After flying for almost an entire day on three different flights, we arrived to our Airbnb and are thoroughly enjoying a break from the gray English skies. I'll be posting ...

I have a fondness for statues, I like looking at them and pondering.  So many times I visit large country houses and there is a lion eating a dragon on a plinth over there and a woman pretending to be a sphinx over there.  I also like when they get a bit worn, it shows the passage time and gives them a feeling of becoming part of the fabric of the garden.  So when I visit a garden with statues I will spend time considering them.
