Let's do lunch: merguez-style scotch egg with grain salad
Categories: Product stories
A limited edition, spiced up offering from Scotchtails
Pale yellow, crumbly yolk and squeakily rubbery egg white, covered in meat an alarming shade of grey and a dusting of breadcrumbs. Such is the image 'scotch egg' often brings to mind. Compare that with the bright, liquid yolk of every egg that comes off the Scotchtails stall, wrapped in succulent, high quality meat and encased in crisp panko breadcrumbs. What, we ask co-owner Dominic Hamdy, is the secret to their eye-opening revival of this retro snack?
"Quality ingredients are essential," he answers firmly, and it's a philosophy they adhere to strictly. "It's a very simple product: an egg, spiced or flavoured meat, and breadcrumbs—which means there's nowhere to hide." The eggs are free range (naturally), from Clarence Court; the meat reared and butchered on Wicks Manor Farm in Essex—the animals, again, free range.
"If an egg is from a badly treated, caged hen, it's not going to taste of much and the yolk will be really pale. Same for the meat—it's just not going to have the same flavour if it's from an unhappy animal," Dom continues. "Which is why scotch eggs you often see in the shop aren't very nice: they're mass produced, and it shows."
Nice and runny
Quite the opposite occurs at Scotchtails' Westminster HQ, where everything—everything—is done by hand. "It's the trick to making sure the yolks stay nice and runny: we boil the eggs then, after about six minutes and 45 seconds (depending on the size of the egg and the temperature at which it has been stored) we plunge them immediately into an ice bath so that they stop cooking. You can't do that by machine."
The eggs are then peeled by hand and wrapped in a generous layer of meat. For the merguez-style scotch egg, this means sausage meat mixed with "lovely spices such as cumin, coriander, garam masala, coriander seeds and some chilli powder to give it a bit of heat", then rolled in panko breadcrumbs.
The scotch eggs are fried and the side options are prepped at the stall. Previously, the latter meant thickly cutting sweet potato for crisp yet squidgy fries, and/or a nest of rocket—now they've upped their salad game, having recently introduced a grain salad comprising bulgur wheat, quinoa, Market-bought parsley, mint, and pomegranate seeds, topped with a sprinkle of za'atar.
Lighter side
"I think you can be tempted to buy a scotch egg any day of the week, but it is essentially two sausages and an egg, so it's quite substantial," says Dom. "It means some people want a slightly lighter side, so a nice fresh salad rather than sweet potato fries fits the bill. And the fresh herbs and juicy pomegranate complement the spice of this sausage nicely."
While the grain salad is a permanent feature, this special scotch egg is on the stall for two weeks only—so get (and eat) it while it's hot.

Clear Therapy Reviews
Some people have great skin because they have good luck while others have to work for it. A complete acne treatment system helps people with oily and acne-prone skin can erase blemishes and control breakouts. Clear Therapy is a three step system that helps kill bacteria, remove excess oil, and unclog your pores all in an attempt to reduce and remove acne. The system includes a Clear Therapy Facial Wash, Acne Treatment Oil-Free Moisturizer, and Acne Treatment Cream.
Results with Clear Therapy should be seen in just a matter of days. The treatment is potent and each product provides the skin with acne medication and nutrients. The facial wash lathers the skin with benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria. Additionally the wash has pumice and walnut shell to exfoliate the skin.
The moisturizer hydrates the skin after the cleanser to soothe the skin and offer nutrients like jojoba seed oil and hyaluronic acid. The oil-free moisturizer also layers the skin with hydrolyzed collagen and hydrolyzed elastin to keep the skin strong and firm to fight the signs of aging.
The final step in this skin therapy is the acne treatment cream. The cream gives the skin additional 5% benzoyl peroxide as well as tea tree oil, chamomile extract, and aloe extract. The treatment has antibacterial agents and antioxidant benefits for the skin.
Possible Side Effects
The use of 5% benzoyl peroxide is an effective dose to treat acne. However, the higher the dose of benzoyl peroxide the more likely it is you will experience skin irritation, redness, or dry skin. The moisturizer should help reduce these symptoms.
Clear Therapy gives you a chance to get clear skin in three steps. The problem with Clear Therapy isn't that it is awful or too expensive, the problem is that Clear Therapy is the same system at RevitaClear. Clear Therapy and RevitaClear has identical delivery systems and formulas for each product. The twin treatments could be from the same company, but it is hard to confirm because their each treatment does not have a direct way to contact the company other than email. It seems Clear Therapy might have something to hide.

Record breaking legal action by almost 1000 British holidaymakers against tour operators following illness during stays between 2000 and 2002 at the Beach Club Hotel, Torremolinos in Spain has resulted in settlement exceeding £2.5 million. This is the largest award for a group action taken by UK holidaymakers following an outbreak of illness in mainland Spain. It is also the UK's largest successful compensation claim for Norovirus.
The settlement was paid by Thomson Holiday (TUI) and JMC (Thomas Cook) to 790 holidaymakers, most of whom contracted Norovirus at the hotel. Norovirus causes acute gastric illness, vomiting and diarrhoea with some holidaymakers developing long term conditions including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) as a result of their illness. A number of other guests contracted Salmonella and Campylobacter at the hotel.
Five other tour operators settled more than 200 claims with Irwin Mitchell in out of court settlements several years ago, but Thomsons and Thomas Cook continued to fight claims until just days before a 3 week trial was due to commence in the High Court In London.
The compensation package has been funded by the two Tour Operators with the Hotel owners also making a contribution towards it.
One such client, Mollie May Cole, a child residing in Exeter, travelled on holiday with her family to the Beach Club Hotel, Torremolinos, Spain, during the period 23 June 2002 and 30 June 2002. She was four years old at that time.
Approximately two days before the end of the holiday, Mollie fell ill with gastric symptoms as a result of salmonella food poisoning. She experienced terrible diarrhoea, which was almost constant, and also vomiting and stomach cramps. These symptoms continued up to her departure and continued after her return to the UK.
Mollie's vomiting was extremely frequent in the initial stages of her illness and lasted until 10 July 2002. As a result of her illness, she also suffered loss of appetite. Mollie remained unwell for 62 days in total.
Whilst at the hotel, her parents, together with other holidaymakers who had also suffered similar symptoms, voiced their concerns to the Tour Representatives, but found that the Representatives were unhelpful in dealing with complaints. At one point so many people were taken ill that the hotel was barely able to cope with the situation and guests described a scene of complete chaos.
The main complaint related to the fact that it was alleged that there had been a longstanding problem with illness at the hotel and yet Tour Operators continued to send customers to the hotel. Due to the severity of her symptoms, Mollie was unable to leave her room and enjoy the facilities of the hotel and the beach, and as a result her holiday was totally ruined.
Tina Cole said, "I feel that Irwin Mitchell dealt with Mollie's claim very well because everything was explained to me in layman's terms rather than legal jargon which was extremely useful as I had never used a solicitor before, and they made it easy for me to understand how her claim was being dealt with. I was also kept up to date with the progress of Mollie's claim, and was always made aware of what was happening."
If you or a loved one has suffered food poisoning due to poor hygiene standards, our illness compensation claims team could help you secure compensation. See our Food Poisoning Compensation page for more information.

Have you ever set out in your car for a particular destination — perhaps work, school, or a lunch date — and upon arriving, suddenly thought to yourself, "Gee, how did I manage to get here?"
Distracted by music, conversation, or perhaps discussing an important matter on your cell phone, you didn't remember consciously accelerating, turning, or braking the car and yet . . . there you were–safe and sound at your destination. But, how did that happen?
This book introduces you to the realm of the "ultraconscious." A realm of the brain, as you will learn, that controls much more than just seeing us safely to our destinations.
The "ultraconscious" is the term the book uses to refer to the non-conscious mind, which, as you will learn, is much more powerful and significant than scientists have thus far suspected.
Not intended to replace other neuroscientific studies or biological models currently supported by scientific research, it does nonetheless present a workable, theoretical model explaining how the ultraconscious actuates in all our day-to-day lives. Not only how it effects us individually, but how it functions in interchanges with others as well.

|Photo of yours truly, by Vince James Photography
Photographer and awesome friend of mine, Vince James, has just revamped his website and blog. Yes, the very Vince James who did my author photos (and my couple shoot, and my family photos and yet another shoot coming up this weekend... Can you tell I love his work?)
He is currently taking an online Pro class from yet another amazing photographer (Brooke Snow) and has redesigned his entire site in preparation for the weekly posted assignments.
(First assignment of which he should be posting anytime now. I had the chance to video this shoot and let me tell you: it was too much fun!)
A few days ago Vince wrote a post about 5 things he has learned in regards to being a photographer. Though it is written with a photographer in mind, every thought he wrote can easily (and perfectly) be applied to all us creative types out there. It has literally been stuck in my head since first reading it.
I won't repost the entire post. If you would like a chance to read his thoughts, check it out here. (Do it. Just do it.) I do want to share the 5th point he made though. In Vince's words:
BE a photographer, cherish those unique experiences. Driving home from a shoot with that amazing feeling, knowing that you nailed it. Seeing your photos in print and realizing how much they mean to your clients. Shooting a session for free because the person honestly needs it and cannot afford it. Looking back at your old work and marveling at how bad it looks to you now, but being grateful that it got better. Those moments make everything else worthwhile. Hold on to them and remember them, for those days when seemingly everything goes wrong.
Now, I know not all of you are photographers out there. This is a writing blog. All about writing. Books. Literature mayhem. So let me take a moment to translate me thoughts into Vince's, so you can all see what I read in my hectic mind:
BE a writer. Cherish those unique experiences. Finishing that final chapter with that amazing feeling, knowing that you nailed it. Seeing your writing in print and realizing how much your words mean to your readers. Writing a simple poem, blog post, email or letter solely to share yourself with the people who will read it. Looking back at your old work and marveling at how bad it is to you now, but being grateful that it got better. Those moments make everything else worthwhile. Hold onto them and remember them for those days when seemingly everything goes wrong.
See? Even advice written for photography can so easily bleed over into our writing world. Thank you Vince for your words of awesome inspiration. One artist to another.
I hope you all take a moment today to BE a writer. I know I sure will.
Happy Writing!

Quick and Easy, Salads, Vegetarian
Step 1In a food processor or blender, blend the egg and lemon juice for 10 seconds. With the processor running, slowly pour in the oil and process until the mixture thickens. Add the pepper and salt and pulse once or twice to blend. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using (best if used within 24 hours). This makes 1 cup mayonnaise.
Step 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a simmer (it should not come to a rapid boil) and cook until the potatoes are slightly tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes, put them on a sheet pan and place the pan in the refrigerator to dry.
Step 2Mix together the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, celery, mustard, lemon juice, chopped pepper and dill. Fold in the potatoes and season to taste with the salt and white pepper.

So... what? : Unschooling
Evidently it's time again for one of those, "So what do you do?" posts again. I'm not feeling particularly philosophical or intuitive or spiritual about it (read: mushy), and I'm not feeling the need for justification... just maybe an explanation of the ideas and thoughts behind the Play of our everydays.
I was thinking yesterday as Trev was reading and playing Godzilla that his play was just as valuable to me as anything else he could be doing.
Some people might not understand that. Anything that he's learning isn't obviously valuable or tangible, after all.
He may not even be learning anything at all! And I have absolutely no problem with that.
He's playing.
He's using his imagination.
He's exploring his knowledge of facts and figures that he's collected inside his head, making up stories (or repeating them in whatever accurate way he may choose, according to his research), creating, expressing, and being comfortable with who he is and his interests.
But would this do for every minute of every day?
And what's my job, then?
My job is to make sure that things stay interesting.
My job is to assess my own personal needs, to present them to the family, and see if they'll come along. And yes, I say Needs, for they are sometimes mad cravings that I get, and it feels imperative to Living. I need to get into the woods! I need a big adventure! Can we go exploring?, I need to tromp around and do something really, really cool! Like visit a real-life paleontology site. Or a ghost town - I get those pretty often. Or even a favorite museum.
My job is to make sure that everyone else is getting their needs met, as well. And to help them figure out why and what those needs are.
My job is to pay keen attention to what the babes are up to (over all, not invading their every minute), and to make sure they're thriving.
Thriving is definitely the objective of this way of life.
So. Does thriving happen on its own?
Not really. Not consistently and always, without being inspired or prompted. (I do not mean being forced or coerced, but mean inspiring things like season changes, karate classes, play with friends, going Out, a new game, library visits...)
Can't sitting-at-the-table lessons ensure thriving? Sure, for whomever that works. If parents and children feel so happy in their studies that they're ready to spin off the planet, or if in study they find immense satisfaction and great personal purpose. (And I mean sincere personal purpose, here, as in "this feeds my soul", not "this feeds my need to make my children seem superior" or "this feeds my need to have an Honor Role bumper sticker on my car for the sake of my own ego." Although, even those are among your choices, if you choose to live life that way.)
The way to best see it happening in my own home is to just make sure my children are lively and interested. Interested in life--curious about the world, and the way it works. As I've said many times: thinking, discovering, exploring, and creating.
So isn't constant Play (even playing with the Godzilla collection -however impressive and grand :) ) a worry? Harmful?
Well- that's the thing. It isn't. Because thriving is the goal, remember? And I'm paying attention. Assessing. Evaluating. Asking questions. Checking in.
But doesn't Play just take over? Doesn't watching television take over? Doesn't computer play Take Over?!?
No. It doesn't. Because there are lots of other things to do.
Here's the thing-- when life is interesting, we have lots of interesting options. And we have lots of interests. True, sometimes a particular theme will run the show for a while. But not forever. And not solely, which we'll notice if we keep our eyes wide open to all the other things that are actually going on while The One Thing is happening.
The dreaded and be-damned Screen Time is a huge worry for a lot of people. But -amazingly!!- some of us don't limit screen time. At all. AND we still play outside. AND we take walks in the woods. AND we play math games and watch math videos (Khan!), and we read The Wind In the Willows and Little House and poetry, and we attend performances at the children's theater on occasion, and we visit museums and we paint and do science experiments and take the dog for a walk and go roller-skating and play at the beach and sculpt with clay and we have conversations about politics, cultures, life and death and God.
I am not saying that people should live their lives as we do. Hardly. This family of mine are the only ones that can or should live this life we're living. (Though some look similar to ours, certainly.)
I'm just laying out plainly a few Things I Know For Sure.
That I'm pretty good at ensuring our minds, bodies, and hearts are in good working order: ie healthful energy flowing into and out of them.
Things like Imaginations make me happy.
Like that I feel quite comfortable in both, equally, the roles of Leading and Following. (And sometimes even stayin' put. :) )
That seeking Joy, genuinely and authentically, goes a long way toward ensuring that the souls in this family are doing well.
And like that I can be trusted (trusted by my Self) to pay attention to my children, to make sure they thrive.
You know.
So that's what I do--what we do.
We make shiny, happy people.
And we play.

Thank you for this post. Love how we can include screen-time in a nurturing child-space. We don't limit screen time, either. And we get lots of outside-time, creating, and imaginary play, too.ReplyDelete
My daughter is in a very creative charter school, but I keep unschooling as an option if she gets too stressed.
Thanks for sharing your insights!

Ah yes...Shiny, Happy, People. It's really the bottom line, isn't it?ReplyDelete
No limited screen time here either and yet we get outside, we play (non-stop...all day) and we bake and we discuss real life issues (and when you are 5...they are all Real. Life. Issues.), we laugh and snuggle and connect and learn from all that is around us. It's an awesome privilege to watch these littles grow up.
Thanks for sharing how it works in your home. I always love reading about it. You inspire me SO much. xoxo Love you. xoxo
I love this. It took me a looooong time to let go, and stop limiting screen time.ReplyDelete
Now I'm here, and it feels so good!
Happy dance! Offer everything, promote joy and reflection, play, ply, play--everyone in the family. Makes for a sweet life--as you so beautifully document every day. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thank you Debbie - your gentle spirit inspires me as well.ReplyDelete
Love you, too.
Kelly - it's certainly a more peaceful place to be in!
When we're fixated on something like that (he ALWAYS wants to do that! she NEVER wants to do anything else...) we're not keeping an open (and fair) mind, we're bringing our own judgments and fear into it, and can't see it clearly (objectively). So much more loving and fun to watch our babes and think "Wow! What a fantastic human!" :) We can see very clearly that lots of (interesting) things are going on if we aren't angry or fearful about it. (And are offering lots of interesting things/places/experiences as well, of course!) :)
Jen - you're always such a vibrant cheerleader. I so appreciate that!
What timing! I have a draft in progress about this very topic. I've recently had an influx of questions asking about our "homeschooling" and "teaching" style. (Mind you, Layla is newly five and Aelyn only two.) I am trying to describe what we do rather than focus on the not-dos of radical unschooling in our home. Perhaps I should just send a link to your beautiful post instead. As always, I am inspired by your eloquence. :o)ReplyDelete
just wonderful! thank you!!!:)ReplyDelete
For what it's worth, my oldest son, 13, just started public school in the middle of last year for sixth grade. He had been unschooled his whole life, and he's doing just fine in school. His spelling was behind the class; his math was far beyond. His reading scores were 12th-grade level; his math scores were 10th grade. SOMEHOW, he was learning all the stuff you'd expect.ReplyDelete
I hate to use school as the standard, of course, because I don't think it is. But if anyone is worried about how your kids "compare to schoolkids," I'd say it's a safe bet that they'd compare just fine, too.

The 2015 Global Investor Intentions Survey was conducted using an online questionnaire in January 2015. Responses were obtained from more than 700 real estate investors in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific.
Expect 10-15% more capital into real estate in 2015
Investors inntend to increase the capital flow in commercial real estate by 10-15% compared to last year. Investors continue to move up the risk curve in search of higher returns.
51% of survey respondents said that thez will focus on value add and opportunistic investments this year. It is almost growth by 20% compared to the last year survey.
Offices still among the most preferred sector
The highest increase of investment activity compared to the last year is expected to industrial properties, on the other hand investors interest in retail investment continue to fade. Office sector will traditionally remain the sector with the highest volume of commercial real estate investment.
Main threats to property markets
Respondents identified overpricing and economic slowdown/weakness as the main threats to property markets in the coming year. There is also increased concern about the potential for financial and political crises.
Main obstacles to acquiring assets were identified by investors as follows: asset pricing, availability odf assets and competition fromother investors.
38 % investors will invest outside their own region
Among investors looking to invest outside their own region, 31% of respondents identified Western Europe as the top destination. Eleven percent of respondents identified Central and Eastern Europe as their top destination, a huge result relative to the size of these markets.

Richard Curran, Managing Director CBRE says: Richard Curran, Managing Director CBRE says: "Investors identified asset overpricing as the biggest threat to property markets. Investment in commercial real estate is becoming more popular among investors due to current environment of low interest rates, low yields of government bonds and excess of capital thanks to quantitative easing launched by central banks. Demand for real estate is much higher than the supply, which leads to increasing price level of real estate. The factor behind increasing price level is tighter yield, not rental growth. We register increased pricing particularly in case of prime products given their limited availability. The capital value of European real estate grew by 10% only in 2014 and it will rise further in connection with strengthening of economy. High real estate price level together with low yields in Western Europe led investors to accept higher risk and direct their investment also outside of Western Europe. Eleven percent of respondents identified Central and Eastern Europe as their top destination in the Survey. Whilst markets in this region are small, they are showing distinct signs of economic revival, stable business environment and higher yields than in Western Europe."

Last week I worked out Monday-Wednesday for less than 150 minutes and didn't work out again until Monday of this week. I had a crazy busy week and didn't get it done. I also had my husband take my measurements as another way to track my progress.
Arms-12 inches
Thighs-23 3/4 inches
Hips- 39 inches
Waist-35 inches
Bust-39 inches
I still have not incorporated several smaller meals per day into my plan (I will to by the weekend). I am walking during my lunch hour (almost 3 miles), I am either working out in the morning or the evening after work. My scale is teetering between 160.6 and 161. I had an off week last week and didn't put in enough time, NO EXCUSES! Today is a new day! I am not DEFEATED, determined more than ever to get this weight off!

Let me start by saying that I was delighted that it was such a beautiful day today. It definitely was great to get some sun on my face. I'm sure that most of us in the Northeast feel like bears emerging from months of hibernation, and who isn't ready to shed the heavy clothes and the winter weight? Unlike most years when I have those pesky five pounds to shed and I'm happy to ditch the sweaters and jump into some spring clothes, I have to say that I'm having a little rougher time this year. Since being diagnosed in November, I've put on almost 20 pounds, and regardless of how quickly it may or may not come off when I'm done with chemo, I still have to deal with looking and feeling like Mama Berenstain. I made the mistake of going to TJ Max to see if I could pick up something that might be cute and/or comfortable – and let me warn you: don't ever go into a TJ Max dressing room unless you are having a particularly great self-esteem day! There I was, with the bad lighting, the distorted mirror, my bald head and a body that doesn't belong to me. Now I know why Mama B. always wore the same blue polka dot nightgown!
I know that one day in the not-TOO-distant future, my goldilocks will have grown back, my hands and feet will feel less like frozen bear claws and food will taste "just right" instead of like concrete- but today, I'd much prefer to climb back into my cave until all this is over. For now, I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it.

SHANGHAI, March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 4, the signing ceremony for the strategic cooperation between SAIC General Motors and celebrated movie director Zhang Yimou and the opening ceremony for the second season of Apologue 2047, a stage performance sponsored by Buick, were both successfully held at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Mr. Zhang made an appearance at the ceremony where he talked about the performance taking place the same evening. This is the movie director's first public appearance in China following the debut performance of his latest work, "Eight Minutes in Beijing", at the closing ceremony for PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The finely attired Mr. Zhang said with apparent frankness that the second season will deliver an entirely different experience to the audience.
Zhang explained that "Eight Minutes in Beijing" is very much in keeping with the spirit of Apologue 2047
The performance of "Eight Minutes in Beijing" at the recent closing ceremony for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics once again attracted wide attention from audiences around the world. Dispensing with traditional Chinese elements such as red lanterns, the pipa, human wave strategies and snippets of Peking Opera as the familiar background music, the show deployed a high-tech approach to illustrate the hospitality of the Chinese people. An array of AI-controlled robot-screens worked in tandem with the actors, stunning the world with the beautiful images of the new China.
At the press conference, Zhang revealed that the original idea for "Eight Minutes in Beijing" was a performance by 24 roller skaters, with the many technological elements "icing on the cake". When commenting on the high-tech trends that have captured the imagination of the general public, Zhang said that one cannot forget that it is man who has brought us the science and technology that is so much a part of the present and future. It took the rigor and perseverance of human workers to bring us the miraculous benefits of AI.
Speaking of his new concept performance Apologue 2047, Zhang said that although there are differences between the performance and "Eight Minutes in Beijing", the two works are essentially the same. After nearly three years of perfecting, the concept created by 20 teams and individuals from seven countries has resulted in what could be termed as a "passionate collision" between Chinese national folk art and the multinational scientific and technological teams, demonstrating the most attractive side of Chinese traditional culture in a fully modern and up-to-date way.
The completion of the work for the second season of Apologue 2047 is on schedule with Mr. Zhang adding with self-deprecating humor, that he is not putting on the show to create a brand for himself
As soon as the national tour of Apologue 2047 closed, preparations for the second season were launched with the aim of integrating even more authentic traditional art with even more advanced technologies. Mr. Zhang confirmed that the second season is now well on track to be delivered on time and plans to follow the structure of the first season, yet with different content. During the launch event, SAIC General Motors general manager Wang Yongqing signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the movie director. The signing ceremony itself was also a demonstration of advanced technologies.
When commenting on the partnership with Buick, Mr. Zhang said matter-of-factly, "At first, I rejected the cooperation." However, he was touched by the brand's apparent innovativeness as well as the level of trust the brand had built with the director. As a result, audiences have an opportunity to experience Mr. Zhang's dispassionate concept performance that he was able to create without having to be in the least bit concerned with the profit motive. Mr. Zhang said in a self-mocking way that "I don't think in terms of my reputation" when creating a work and that he insists on original ideas rather than trying to create a "brand". The movie director hopes to enable the showcasing of China that is self-confident not only when it comes to culture, literature and art but also when it comes to technology.
Bao Ye, marketing director for Buick at SAIC General Motors, added that each element of the performance showcased the life of convenience that has been made possible by the industrial revolution. Mr. Zhang's constant pursuit of art corresponds to Buick's brand philosophy of constantly making ever greater progress. The cooperation with Mr. Zhang that resulted in the top-level concept performance aims to convey Buick's ideas about commitment to the sustainable, smart, user-centric and environmentally friendly mobility experience of the future, as well as encourage people to look forward to what technology has in store for mobility and the ability for every individual on the planet to lead a richer life.
Apologue 2047 receives a passionate and positive response during CCTV's Lantern Festival Gala
Since its debut in June 2017, the extraordinary concept theater show Apologue 2047 has been well received at home and abroad. Tickets to the three shows at the National Center for the Performing Arts sold out quickly. In addition to the attention that the show received from both industry insiders and the general public, Apologue 2047 was reviewed by CNBC, the Associated Press and Reuters, in addition to other leading international media outlets. Additionally, Apologue 2047 was performed at Edinburgh International Festival 2017, setting off a craze around the world for all Chinese things when it comes to fashion.
During the Lantern Festival Gala on CCTV, the main channel of China's state-owned nationwide TV broadcaster, audiences were deeply impressed by the creative program Ordination performed by Jirong Qiu. The show is a part of Apologue 2047. From theatres to the stage of the Lantern Festival Gala, the show, which is quite representative of the technology-driven inspiration that feeds the creative process behind the programs, revealed a new and different concept to viewers of the gala.
Apologue 2047 kicks off a national tour with the first show in Shanghai a sell-out
The debut performance of the Apologue 2047 national tour took place in Shanghai, where the event, an instant sell-out, was widely applauded by the audience. Seats sold out well in advance of the event. From the moment the curtain was raised, a blend of traditional arts and advanced technologies took over the stage, including the Mongolian Long Song juxtaposed with the style of the "cloud" veil, the laser lightshow in tandem with a modern dance performance, holographic projection of the wanwanqiang (the Bowl Tune) tradition of Shaanxi province, as well as the robotic arm in contrast with a manually manipulated marionette show, all of which combined to produce an astonishing audio and visual experience. Many of the evening's theatergoers had chosen to come and see the show, as they had previously seen "Eight Minutes in Beijing". Several audience members said they felt they had experienced an epiphany during the event, an emotional reaction that the director said he had been hoping to evoke.
Following the debut event in Shanghai, Apologue 2047 will be performed in other cities, including Hangzhou and Guangzhou. Mr. Zhang, who feels that he has a special karmic relationship with Hangzhou, reminded the city's denizens, "If you watched "Impressions of the West Lake" and the art show that took place during G20, then you should not hesitate to see Apologue 2047, which, despite the obvious vast differences, one can still discern the relationship with the two earlier shows". Apologue 2047 is certain to move and shock local audiences in new and different ways.

ENZED Sponsored young gun Cameron Waters has finished his second season in the Supercars category 8th in points. In a season which included career first podiums and a race win at Sandown, Waters established himself as a consistent top 10 finisher, and at times a genuine race winning threat in Australia's toughest racing series.
The season started off with a bang for Waters who matched his career best solo finish of 4th in race 1 at the Clipsal 500. He would then go on to back this up with an impressive 8th position in race 2 to leave the round placed 5th in the standings. Round 2 took place on a wet and wintery weekend at Symmons Plains in Tasmania, where Waters was able to avoid the carnage to finish both races inside the top 10 and leave the apple isle with an undamaged car. Waters earned more than a few fans over the weekend as he took it to veteran Craig Lowndes on the tight circuit. Phillip Island was next and after a disappointing Race 1 in which his race was hampered by a flat tyre, Waters was able to rebound for an impressive 6th in race 2.
Perth was a tough weekend for Waters, who struggled to find a suitable setup for the tight Barbagallo Raceway. Back to Victoria and a 4th place in race 2 saw Waters leave the event placed 10th in the championship points standings, a huge improvement from the 19th he finished in at the end of the 2016 season. The series headed north for the following three rounds where Waters was able to snag four top 10 finishes throughout the 6 races including a strong 5th place in Townsville. Sydney Motorsport Park marked the only DNF Waters would encounter all season long when another tyre blow out put an end to any hopes he had of a strong finish.
The Enduro Cup was undoubtedly the high point of Waters' season, who pairing up with Kiwi Richie Stanaway took 3rd across the three race series within a series. Starting with a bang, the duo were able to take pole and race victory at the Sandown 500, leading almost all laps from start to finish and holding off a hard charging Scott McLaughlin for a memorable win. The duo once again led from the front in Bathurst, leading many of the first 100 laps before contact with Garth Tander and Chaz Mostert ensured an ill-timed pitstop left the team to finish a disappointing 16th. The team rebounded with a 2nd place finish behind teammates Chaz Mostert and Steve Owen in race 1 on the Gold Coast before an incident with Paul Dumbrell left the team with a 21st place finish in race 2. The Enduro campaign saw a shift in attitude towards Waters, who went from being known as a consistent top 10 finisher to a consistent race winning threat.
The Supercars circus crossed the Tasman for the Auckland Supersprint where Waters was able to record pole position as a result of his fast practice times after qualifying was cancelled as a result of the horrendous weather. 9th was the best he could manage in race 1, however a career first individual podium was the result of a fantastic drive in race 2. The season wrapped up at the picturesque Newcastle street circuit, however it was a weekend to forget for Waters and who came away with 13th and 23rd place finishes.
It was a season to remember for the 23 year old, who will only improve as his experience grows. At ENZED we can't wait to see what the future holds and are counting down the days until the Adelaide 500 in March.

Popular cricket players of Indian cricket team: Virat Kohli
Indian Cricket Team – Profile
Indian cricket team is the defending champion of Cricket World Cup 2011 and seeing their form, India is still a promising contender for winning cricket world cup 2015. Indian team is known for having a never ending batting line which is quite frustrating for the opponent teams. Even the Indian bowlers can be dangerous in any given point with their bat abilities. They have vast experience of genius of the game in the leadership of the coolest team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They have the class of Yuvraj Singh and consistency in bowling of Mohammad Shami and Bhuvenshwar Kumar.
In the recent times, they have the conquered the places like Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, and England. The only point that has been a hurdle in India's success has been its inability to play class innings on foreign pitches as India is known for being a master class on their home pitches. But since the country is defending its title so one can expect some extra effort on their part to perform at their best form in 2015 Cricket World Cup.
When it comes to fielding, Indian cricket team has players like Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli as well as they have the strong bench strength which can perform under any kind of pressure. When it comes to batting, names like Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Dhoni, Gambhir, Pujara and Rihanne pose a serious threat to opponents.
The only weaker side of India that could backfire is addition of Ishant Sharma in the squad since Ishant has been drastic with his performance from 2013-2014. He could be an expensive bowler for India. However let's see what India choose as part of their squad for 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
