The FIFA Conundrum: Sponsors Find Themselves in Tough Spot
This week the global sports community witnessed one of the biggest events in modern history, when on May 27th the United States Department of Justice opened an indictment of 14 individuals for various corruption charges in world soccer, 9 of whom were high-ranking FIFA executives. This scandal is without a doubt the largest in FIFA's and soccer's history, and some would say this is the biggest scandal and investigation in all of sports history. In the wake of these unprecedented events the outcries from the public have been directed not only at FIFA and the other confederations and organizations implicated in the investigation, but also at FIFA's sponsors, calling for them to sever ties with the global soccer governing body and not associate themselves with such actions, similar to what happened with Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong during their respective ordeals recently.
The situation that FIFA's partners and sponsors (Visa, Adidas, Coca Cola, Gazprom, Hyundai/Kia, Budweiser, & McDonald's) find themselves in is very tricky, and definitely not as simple as many might think it to be. On the one hand you do not want to associate your company and brand equity with an organization that is the focus of the largest sports scandal in modern history – this is obvious. The scrutiny from the media and general public for remaining tied to FIFA will be seen in the eyes of some as guilt by association and as a result some consumers may boycott to show their displeasure, leading to potentially poor financial results for the sponsor. If this is the case, then why have we not seen a mass exodus from FIFA's sponsors after this week's news broke?
The situation for these companies is very unique in that FIFA holds the marketing keys to the largest sporting event in the globe, the World Cup. These sponsors enjoy a rather large amount of revenue and exposure generated from their activations around the FIFA World Cup and other FIFA events – again, this is no secret. If they sever ties with FIFA they will obviously lose out on this source of income and brand exposure. Many that are calling for these companies to do just that think that FIFA would miss out on the money associated with the World Cup as well if its sponsors left them after this scandal. But the thing people need to consider is that there are many other companies out there that would gladly deal with the temporary public relations nightmare that Visa, Adidas, Coca Cola and the rest are dealing with right now if it meant that they got to plaster their name all over the advertising boards at the next World Cup.
So in truth, the cost of cutting ties with FIFA is much greater for these companies, especially for an organization like Adidas who has its largest competitors in the soccer industry waiting in the wings to come in and replace the Adidas logo with their own on all things FIFA. Adidas would not only lose the revenue associated with the World Cup and other sponsored events, but if FIFA survives this ordeal – and at this point based on what we know today, it would be a bit of surprise if it didn't – they would also lose a substantial amount of market share to one of its biggest competitors. Imagine Adidas decides to walk away from FIFA, and when 2018 and 2022 rolls around "FIFA" is still in front of the words "World Cup" and the organization survives its current ordeal, and instead of the Adidas logo on the match balls in Russia and Qatar we see the Nike Swoosh – how do you think the folks at Adidas would swallow that pill? In almost every business in consumer manufactured goods, and other industries to be sure, some of the most common business objectives at the top of the list for the organization every year is to increase revenue and grow market share. If Adidas were to cut ties with FIFA, and the global governing body survives the scandal and World Cups continue on as we know them today, it would effectively ensure that both of these crucial business goals would not be met.
As cynical as it may seem, it all comes down to money. 'Cash is King' as they say, and it is no different in this scenario. FIFA's partners and sponsors need to evaluate what the partnership is worth to them, and at what point they are willing to not only walk away from it, but serve it up to one of their competitors on a silver platter all in one move. They might be able to regain some of the losses in soccer event-related income through partnerships that they might secure outside of FIFA, for example within La Liga, or the English Premier League, but it won't be nearly enough to offset the losses felt from the hole that the World Cup will dig if they walk away. These FIFA sponsors have a financial responsibility to their shareholders to consider and a social responsibility to all of their stakeholders that they must balance in making that decision, which is not an easy thing to do.
It's not as though these companies only have two options, however. There is one more move available to them in this game, and that is to renegotiate their contracts with FIFA, if possible, to somehow benefit more from the partnership, for example a lower price paid to FIFA. Visa was the only sponsor to come out and say something to this effect in their statements thus far:
Our disappointment and concern with FIFA in light of today's developments is profound. As a sponsor, we expect FIFA to take swift and immediate steps to address these issues within its organization…Our sponsorship has always focused on supporting the teams, enabling a great fan experience, and inspiring communities to come together and celebrate the spirit of competition and personal achievement – and it is important that FIFA makes changes now, so that the focus remain on these going forward. Should FIFA fail to do so, we have informed them that we will reassess our sponsorship.
A renegotiation would be seen in the public eye as holding FIFA accountable, and it would still allow the sponsors to maintain their position within the marketplace and enjoy all that comes with being a sponsor of the World Cup and other FIFA events. Just another option to consider.
To better highlight what kind of influence these sponsors have over FIFA, let's take a look at their latest financials and source of revenue from the 4 year period ending 2014:
Marketing revenue, which includes the sponsorship revenue FIFA generates from their partnerships with companies like Adidas, accounted for about 29% ($1.629 bn) of its total income over the last four years. Of that money, 92%, or $1.58 bn, is tied to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and FIFA's partners and sponsors account for a serious slice of that revenue. So, one could argue that FIFA's sponsors do indeed carry with them a fairly large stick to wield at the negotiations table with FIFA and should do so in light of recent events. This is where we come to an iteration of sorts of the old adage, "the one who cares the least in a relationship carries the most power". Whoever means more to the other partner in terms of contribution to overall revenue will carry more influence and weight in this scenario. If we apply the 11% growth rate Adidas saw overall 2014 vs. 2013 in sales we can estimate it to have earned roughly $2.7 bn in all soccer-related income in 2014 (reported $2.4 bn 2013), which would include the revenue generated from its endeavors with FIFA. In 2014, Adidas in total raked in over $15.8 bn in revenue, meaning that even if the FIFA partnership accounted for all of Adidas' soccer-related income (which obviously it doesn't) it would only account for about 17% of Adidas' total revenue.
One sponsor leaving wouldn't be the end of FIFA's marketing revenue bucket, but if somehow they all collectively boycotted the global soccer governing body, the hit would be crucial to FIFA (if no other companies replaced the ones they lost, which again is unlikely based on where we're at today). The choices on the table for FIFA's partners seem fairly simple at first glance. But the costs and opportunity costs associated with this highly complex predicament would make any analyst's head spin. At the end of the day, all parties involved need to look out for the best interests of their stakeholders (inclusive of shareholders) for long-term success and stability. And who knows? Their answer today could be different than from a week or a month from now as news continues to unfold and the investigation reveals new developments down the road. At least for now, better to wait for all the facts to come out and then make a decision, rather than make a quick and rash choice that you could severely regret for years to come.
What do you think about the tough spot FIFA partners and sponsors find themselves in after this week's events? Let us know in the comments section below, or via Facebook or Twitter.

By Adam Sarhan – CEO of 50 Park Investments & ChartYourTrade.com
One of the best ways to get ahead in life is to model yourself (and learn) from the most successful people in your field. In early November, 2018, I had the great honor and great fortune to interview Mr. Leo Melamed, a living legend and someone who has done more for the financial services industry than just about anyone alive today. Leo's story is truly remarkable on multiple levels. His personal story is inspirational and his professional legacy is awe inspiring. In early November 2018, Leo was gracious enough to invite me to his office in Chicago and share his life story with me. For your review, here are five timeless life and market lessons that I learned from Leo.
About Leo:
First, a little about Leo. I want to begin by saying, he is one of the nicest, warmest, and smartest people I have ever met. I walked into his office and instantly felt like I have known Leo for my entire life and that he was a very close friend. I cannot possibly include everything he accomplished in this article so I recommend you google him and read his remarkable story for yourself. In the interest of time, here are some brief highlights from his remarkable life.
The Early Years:
The first major life and market lesson that jumped out at me was how Leo managed to turn his painful past into an empowering force that drives him to this day. At the tender age of seven, Leo's family escaped the Nazis and left Bialystok Poland. Leo told me, "To escape from Europe, his family received a transit visa from Chiune Sugihara, one of the Righteous of the world". Leo's father, also a visionary, had the foresight to leave before the Polish border was closed. That decision literally saved his family's life. Leo's father, managed to take his family to Japan, then ultimately the United States. He did this through a series of prescient decisions that kept him one step ahead of the enemy. His gift was that he was able to see things that other people missed and that literally saved his family's life. I can't even begin to imagine what Leo went through at such a tender age.
Professional Career:
From an early age, Leo was very focused and knew what he wanted to accomplish. When Leo was only nineteen, he entered law school (which speaks volumes in and of itself) and wanted to get a job at a law firm in the morning, since classes did not begin till 2 pm. Meyer, Leo's friend, saw an ad in the paper for a "runner" with the perfect hours, 9-1 pm. Leo applied to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, thinking that he was going to work at a law firm. Little did he know, what would happen next would literally change his entire life (and the financial world). Leo showed up for work as a runner at the "pits" in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and instantly fell in love. Leo spent the next several years learning everything he could about the business while he completed Law School.
Leo's Best Trade
Leo worked his way up and eventually wanted to buy a membership which, at the time, cost $3,000. He asked his father to loan him the money. His father only had $5,000 in savings, but struck a deal with Leo, as long as he promised to finish law school and practice law. After graduation, for the next 6 years, Leo tried to be both a trader and a lawyer. Eventually he realized he could not be a successful trader unless he went full-time. He gave up a successful law career and became a full-time trader at the age of 33.
Founder Of Financial Futures
At the time, the CME was a small exchange that mainly traded eggs and butter and a few other agricultural products. The exchange was mainly controlled by a few people that did not want to embrace change. Because Leo was a lawyer, the other brokers nominated him to lead the charge to take control and modernize the exchange. Leo's side won, and at a young age of 37, he became Chairman of the CME! When Leo took over, the first thing he did was lower the age requirement to become a member to 18, from 21 and allowed women to buy a membership. Before Leo took over, only males could become members and they had to be at least 21 years old. Leo, like his father, has the prescient ability to see the future different than everyone else and that served him very well.
Founder of Financial Futures:
In 1972, under his leadership, the CME created the International Monetary Market (IMM), the world's first financial futures exchange, and launched currency futures. At first, Leo faced a lot of resistance, but that did not stop him. Milton Friedman loved Leo's idea and created a feasibility study to support the concept. Leo took Milton's paper to every major central banker in the world and that paper played a major role in helping them agree. In the years that followed, Leo led the CME and IMM in the creation of a number of financial products, including futures on U.S. Treasury bills in 1976, Eurodollars in 1981, and stock index futures in 1982. In 1992, yet again, Leo had the foresight to create Globex which was the first major electronic trading system in the world. Shortly thereafter, President Ronald Reagan gave Leo a license plate that says, "Globex" and it currently sits in Leo's office on his Presidential Wall.
Amazing Career:
Leo currently serves as Chairman and CEO of Melamed & Associates, a global consulting group, and serves as a permanent adviser to the US National Futures Association. Leo has been an adviser to governments including the US CFTC. He is also on the Chinese International Advisory Council and was recently appointed adviser to Japan. Leo received the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star award from the Emperor of Japan, the equivalent of the US Medal of Honor. Aside from his books on markets, which have been translated in 5 languages, he also wrote a science fiction novel. He holds Doctor of Letters distinctions from the University of Illinois, Loyola University, DePaul University, the Tokyo based Waseda University, and a Doctor of Humane Letters from Sacred Heart University.
Life Lesson #1: Let Your Pain Empower You, Not Hinder You
Leo managed to turn his painful past into a powerful motivating force that fuels him to this day! In fact, if you dig deep, most successful people do this at some level, either consciously or unconsciously. On the other hand, unsuccessful people let their pain define them and usually get stuck playing the victim role or some other negative spiral. The same is true for trading, successful traders learn from their mistakes and cut their losses whenever possible. Typically, unsuccessful traders fall into the negative spiral of self-doubt and love playing the victim card. These unsuccessful traders love to blame the market, the economy, the President, or just about any other factor under the sun, except take responsibility for their trades and focus on building a positive spiral. A great life lesson here is that most unsuccessful people let their past hinder/define them while most successful people use their pain/past to empower them.
Life Lesson #2: Look At The Future & Innovate
The next very powerful lesson Leo taught me was to look forward, and innovate. Most successful people learn how to do this in some form or another while most unsuccessful people look backward and are stuck reliving their past. Anchoring is common cognitive bias that causes people to anchor past events and that distorts their ability to see current (and future) events clearly. This is a common cognitive bias that adversely affects traders in nearly all-time frames. Instead of looking back, Leo looks forward and innovates.
Life Lesson #3: Accept And Embrace Failure & Move On
The third big lesson I learned from Leo is to quickly embrace failure and move on. Leo knows there is nothing wrong with failing and has learned to embrace it and learn from it, instead of fearing it. Meanwhile, most unsuccessful people have an almost paralyzing fear of failure and try to avoid it at all costs. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest reasons why most people are not able to trade successfully. Why? Because it is counter-intuitive in nature and you have to adopt a new set of skills that are foreign to most people. Allow me to explain, most professions, outside of trading, allow people to succeed or at the very least succeed most of the time. If a Dentist wants to fill a cavity, she can succeed just about every single time. The same is true for an accountant, plumber, or dishwasher. But in markets, the exact opposite is true, most trades fail and learning how to deal with that reality is a difficult skill that needs to be acquired and is foreign to most people. Therefore, successful traders learn how to admit when they are wrong quickly, cut their losses frequently, and move on to to the next trade without looking back.
Life Lesson #4: Test Your Ideas In The Market
Leo also taught me the power of testing your ideas in the market before diving in. Leo gave the example of how a typical pharmaceutical company works. The average pharmaceutical company has to spend gobs of money in R&D testing new drugs before they find the one that works. The same is true for just about any new product launch, it is imperative to test your idea with other people to make sure the "market" reacts well to it before diving in. In markets, novice traders typically dive in head first without properly testing their ideas.
Life Lesson #5: Admit When You Are Wrong Quick & Take Action
The next big life lesson is to quickly admit when you are wrong and do something about it. This takes the third lesson above one step further, because it forces you to take action and do something about it. Successful people know that in life, and in markets, there is nothing wrong with making a mistake – as long as you learn from it and then do something about it. This way you do not repeat your mistakes in the future and take action to quickly fix the mistake once you realize that a mistake is made.
Bottom Line:
These are just a few life lessons that I learned from Leo that I hope you will find helpful.

We bet many of you have forgotten Cossy Orjiakor is not all about large bossoms – she also sings. The busty actress recently disclosed to newsmen the impending release of her 15-track-album which she promises to unleash before the end of the year.
According to her: "I am putting finishing touches to the album. I can assure you that the album launch would be on December 15th of this year at the Prest Boat Cruise, Lekki. The album is a 15-track album. I am still gonna do small tidying up and work with other acts and producers."
Reports say she plans to feature several notable acts on the album but refused to mention specific names preferring to keep it under wraps until showtime. She however revealed that some of the acts would be names already making waves in the music industry.
Cossy is not new to music, she already has some singles to her name. The singles; 'You Want Me' and 'You and Me' are part of the 15-track album Cossy plans to release.

Spring is officially here! Although this fluctuating weather has us all wondering if "Winter is Here". Now I know most people do spring cleaning, but in my culture we declutter during the holidays. Therefore by the time Spring comes around I may only have a few pieces to donate from my wardrobe. Spring is my absolute favorite season of the year, not only because of the beautiful 70 degrees weather and flowers in bloom, but also because it's my birthday season. With this in mind I always find myself adding new pieces to my wardrobe. For this reason I shop intentionally to make sure I'm adding pieces that works with what I already have. Like these 6 pieces for your spring capsule wardrobe.
Ruffle Pants similar | Gingham Top similar | Mini Bag here| White Heels here
What's a Capsule Wardrobe?
Essentially it's the idea of keeping a collection of clothes that basically coordinates with the others to create a variety of outfits. I like this concept, mainly because I believe in rewearing pieces, especially if I really like it. Without delay here are the 6 pieces for your spring capsule wardrobe.
During the Spring time, even as lovely as the weather gets, there are just some days when you need to grab a jacket. My go to pieces for my spring capsule are a denim jacket and a trench coat.
- Denim Jacket are the certainly the ultimate casual outerwear to me. I wear it all the time as I can pair it with most of my pieces in my wardrobe. Plus it's the perfect transition piece from day to night looks.
- Trench Coat are my go to when I want my outfit to have a bit more zhush. Also a trench coat is great for protecting you from those rainy days. My favorite types of trench coats are those with hoodies attached.
One Pieces
I don't know about you but I love an outfit that I don't have to put too much thought process in. Which is precisely why one pieces are a sure part of my spring capsule wardrobe.
- Dresses are my ultimate one piece go-to. I could not survive without dresses being a part of life. I love them all from minis to maxis. For your capsule wardrobe, choose a springy dress that will brighten up your day even more.
- Romper is most certainly fun transition piece from one season to another. With so many different styles to choose from there's one for most occasions. They pretty much range from cute to sexy, depending on your vibes and style. On my effortless {lazy} days a romper sure does come in handy.
Simple, easy and convenient are pretty much how I feel about basics. They get the job done. Be it as a layer piece or the main part of your outfit, you can depend on the basics.
- Tee Shirts oh how I love these, not to mention if they are white. You can't get more comfortable than a t-shirt paired with your favorite denim. I mainly wear them to run errands, but also if I'm going out but I'm in a rush I'll throw a blazer over it and pair it with heels.
- Bodysuits are now a huge part of my wardrobe in the last 4 years or so. They are the perfect glue to just hold everything in lol. It also helps that they are just so easy to style as they are available in a wide variety of styles.
I know no greater love when it comes to style and select pieces that will be more timeless than shoes. Shoes will always play an important role in our lives and I believe that's why I'll forever invest in having the best ones that works well with the rest of my wardrobe.
-Center City
- Heels are my first love when it comes to styling and anything to do with fashion. I'm the girl who chooses an entire outfit based off which heels I'm going to wear. Even more so now that I'm a part of the blogosphere. Every girly girl should own a pair of great heels, trust me they come in handy for work or play.
- Sneakers only became a part of my wardrobe for the past year, because I used to be all about my heels and flats. Oh how times have changed. I now appreciate the luxury of being comfortable and now understand that I don't have to compromise comfort for style. So far I have around 5 pairs and my collection is growing.
- Sandals are most definitely my all time everyday wear foot wear choice. No matter the errand or occasion they've never let me down. They'll always be a part of my spring capsule wardrobe. With so many styles to choose from I don't see myself running out of options or love for sandals.
Confession, I love shoes far more than I love bags. Nevertheless I still find a lot of bags to be very appeasing and not to mention essential to daily living. I mean whether it's a bag for work, a party bag or a simple bag to just run errands, they sure do make carrying around our belongings much easier. Not to mention the styles, even grocery shopping bags are stylish now.
- Mini Handbags are all the rage right now and I think they will be for quite sometime. Spring is an effortless season and a mini bag plays well into that vibe. In essence, it's just the right size to pack your most necessary belongings. It's easy to carry around, particularly on days you'd like to maybe visit a garden. By the way if your spring capsule wardrobe is more on the neutral side, you can absolutely get a colorful mini bag to make your outfit pop.
- Totes & Satchels are definitely part of my spring capsule wardrobe because they really do fit everything but the kitchen sink. I have both totes and satchels that can fit my MacBook. Which comes in handy when I'll be away from home, but still want to work on my blog.
What better way to add more of your individuality to an outfit than with accessories. Yes shoes, clothing and even handbags are all statement pieces that lets everyone know your style, be it classic or trendy. However small details like a pair of sunglasses or earrings can make a bold statement as well.
- Sunglasses are always in my bag as they come in handy all throughout the four seasons, but mainly during the warmer weather. Most importantly though is to make sure you're choosing sunglasses that not only goes well with your face shape but a pair that transitions well from spring to summer. Rock both classic and trendy styles.
- Jewelry has always been my favorite accessory, right after shoes. I love small details and that's what jewelry adds to an outfit. My favorite however are earrings. I don't wear too many necklaces, rings cannot fit my tiny fingers and while bracelets are cool, nothing gets the job done like a pair of earrings. Jewelry are fun way to add even more of your beautiful personality to a look.
What would be the 6 pieces for your spring capsule wardrobe?
Check out my last post about my trip to Atlanta for my birthday, most photos for this blog were taken there.
Thanks for checking out the post sweeties.
Have a fantabulous day! Love, Atalee

Battlefield 1 – DICE explains how it's taking dynamic weather one step further
Long gone are the days of scripted weather conditions in multiplayer, Battlefield 1's take on dynamic weather sounds very exciting.
You've no doubt seen a fair bit of Battlefield 1 gameplay over the past few weeks. We've been treated to hours of footage from two maps, the St. Quentin Scar and Sinai Desert.
The maps couldn't be more different. From their setting and time of day, to the dynamic weather in each and the changes that brings. Dynamic weather is a keyword here, as developer DICE is keen to elevate this feature beyond being a gimmick.
You may remember the fierce wind and heavy rain that rolled in on Battlefield 4's Paracel Storm, or the sand storm that covered up the entire map in the remake of Gulf of Oman. Battlefield 1 takes this a step further by adding dynamic weather to every multiplayer map.
In a new developer update DICE said the feature is designed to bring changes to how each map plays that's outside of players control. Like how dense fog would limit sniper's spotting and long-range abilities, and turn an open map into a melee-focused one, because of the low visibility.
Rain, too, can be a factor. Although it's not as game-changing as some of the others, it'll still distort your vision somewhat, making it harder to detect enemies. For pilots, rain forces them to get close to the ground when spotting their targets, which adds another element of risk for them.
Outside of gameplay changes, the different weather conditions are also reflected visually in game, such seeing birds fly away when wind picks up, seeing raindrops on weapons and armour, and more. "The western front has more heavy rain, and we make sure the fog in the trench wars has more density, and feels close to the ground," DICE wrote.
"Up in the Alps in the Italian campaign, there's a sense of low fog in the valley, and if you move up to the mountain tops you get rid of the fog. You can even see the fog below you."
We'll be able to go hands-on with some of these during the upcoming beta, which kicks off August 31.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Keep Your Car Longer
Many times people agonize over buying a new car versus buying a used one that they overlook one of the more important factors for saving money on transportation:? How long you own your car. Drive your vehicle as long as you safely can for substantial savings. Only consider re-buying when the cost of repairs outweighs the savings of buying something more reliable.
Sell Scrap Metal?
Despite what youâ??ve heard about tariffs in 2018, metal is still a hot ticket to salvage yards around the U.S. Thatâ??s right! You can turn scrap metal into cash. Salvage yards will pay you money based on the type of alloy and weight of the load that youâ??re carrying. With enough weight, youâ??ll see quite a hefty check from stockpiling as much metallic material you can find. Copper is worth more to scrap yards. Even refrigerators can increase the dollars you can receive. Results depend on how much scrap metal you collect. The more you have, the more money you can pocket for your savings.?

After recent trials with wet felted hats I now have a small range of styles now available for sale. To date I have produced fedora, pork pie / amish hats and will also be making my own take on the top hat. I use a range of fibres including Alpaca and Piiku.
Initial feedback at recent shows has been promising so expect to see this range grow.
As with everything I make, each piece will be unique in some way with varying finishes, bands and band fastenings.

President of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) Eddy Abed is calling on the Freundel Stuart administration to "immediately" implement recommendations from the Social Partnership working groups on the foreign exchange reserves and the fiscal deficit.
Warning that Barbados did not have time on its side, the business executive painted a damning picture of the economy, pointing out that with dwindling reserves, high debt, the continued printing of money by the Central Bank to support Government, and very little results from Government's austerity programmes, the country was going in "the wrong direction".
He also expressed concern about Government's funding from the National Insurance Scheme as well as Government arrears to the private sector.
"We are going in the wrong direction with only over-optimistic promises to comfort us," Abed wrote in the BCCI's monthly newsletter.
The business executive said although the BCCI remained optimistic that a solution could be found, the current buzzwords among business officials were "uncertainty and lack of confidence".
"They are non-tangibles that require a robust and courageous demonstration that the recommendations of the fiscal deficit and foreign exchange tripartite working groups will be implemented immediately," the BCCI head said.
The two working groups set up to advise Government on the way forward for the ailing economy submitted their reports to Stuart at the end of last month.
The Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS) in a release Wednesday said the Prime Minister had commended the work of the two groups.
"The recommendations made are being studied with a view to determining which proposals can be implemented in the short term and which are more medium term," the BGIS quoted Stuart as saying, adding that he had given the assurance that "the appropriate sense of urgency is being brought to bear on the consideration of the report".
In the newsletter article, Abed insisted that while the private sector had exhibited maturity, patriotism and responsibility in maintaining investments and employment levels of well over 100,000, it came at a cost of "lower profit levels and reduced capital investment in new and existing ventures as our economic future is at best, uncertain".
He said governments, like businesses, must be prudent to balance expenditure with revenue, but this was far from the case now in Barbados.
"When revenue falls, courageous decisions must be taken to protect the most vulnerable in our society while ensuring that the geese that are laying the golden eggs are not over-taxed. Sadly, this calamitous situation has continued unabated and the results are everywhere to be seen," he said.
The BCCI head said sadly, the last eight years of austerity had not cured the country's macroeconomic ills.
"For all of their good intentions, Government's strategies have had limited success, if any at all. Consequently, I am fully aware that there will have to be further austerity and I fear that the medicine will most certainly be bitter," Abed said.
"Opportunities will however abound for Barbadians to invest in local gems that are scratched and maybe even chipped but can shine again if properly managed and capitalized. I am also aware that the entitlements that many have taken for granted for the last two generations must be reviewed and a buffet of options guided by means testing, user fees and outsourcing will have to be embraced," he recommended.
But the "toughest obstacle", Abed said, would require "a reboot of our generally poor customer service and woefully low productivity in both the private and public sectors.
"The solutions to poor attitudes and service in the workplace are numerous but must surely start with training and setting benchmarks so that the organizations can be incentivized, not only to meet these targets but be rewarded for surpassing them," he suggested.
Abed said he was comforted to know that there were areas in which the private sector could participate and achieve growth despite the economic challenges.
"Technology, tourism and related services, international education and healthcare services and the international business sectors remain the low hanging fruit that can and will deliver the greatest return for our investment. These investments need to be nurtured, given incentives and most importantly bureaucracy should be kept to a minimum so as to ultimately provide our country with foreign exchange, quality jobs and a path to a sustainable future," he recommended.
"I must admit that I remain optimistic about our future, yet frustrated that month after month this Chamber has communicated either directly with the relevant authorities, or broadcast widely, many suggestions to cut Government's expenditure, grow the economy, increase the ease of doing business and recently, I am informed, that we were criticized for not offering any problem solving inputs. I do hope that I received inaccurate feedback as the integrity of a 195-year-old institution, the BCCI and its members, would be sullied for no other apparent gain than politics," the BCCI president said.

30 October 2018
A cross-party campaign is gathering momentum with support from Greens, Lib Dems and some senior politicians from both Labour and the Conservative parties. A motion will be put to city councillors on Tuesday night that calls for the council to support the People's Vote campaign to give the British people the final say on the final terms of the negotiated deal.
Green Cllr Louis Stephen said, "We have many businesses in Worcester and the wider region that depend on frictionless borders to ensure they are competitive with our nearest neighbours in the European Union. I fear that a bad or no-deal BREXIT could hit the livelihoods of many people living in Worcester. But it's not just fears for business - I also worry that outside the EU we will subjected to a race to the bottom on environmental and worker protections. I'm calling for both Labour and Conservative councillors to support this motion and send a signal to Westminster that a bad or no-deal BREXIT must be put to a people's vote – to allow the British people to take back control and have the final say."
Stuart Thomson, Chair of Worcestershire for Europe said, 'What has become clear over the last few months in particular is that Brexit has moved from massive benefits to the NHS, public services, infrastructure and economic growth to the stockpiling of food and drugs, a minister for suicide prevention and the departure in real terms (and in investment) of businesses from our country. Instead of leading in Europe our country is becoming an international laughing stock. Where once we were open for business we are now closed and the famous British tolerance has vanished in a puff of racism. If we are to regain our position in the world we must take the Brexit decision away from those who would destroy our beautiful country for their own ideological purposes. Now the facts are so much clearer it is time for the People to decide on their futures. It is time for a People's Vote.'

Christina's Review
Best purchase I ever made
The follow-up of Chrystal Clear in Grand Prairie, Texas is phenomenal. Today Josh evaluated my system a year after I bought it and he was courteous, thorough, a great educator of the system and the process he was going to do as well as while he was performing the maintenance. I appreciate Technicians who take the time to do these things. That is why I bought from Chrystal Clear and will recommend the company and Josh to anyone who asks.

On Sunday the Finance Minister of Kerala announced that a total 1,500 girl students in Kerala from poor families or with small land holdings who are admitted in professional colleges will be given a laptop for free.
This was a part of the first phase of a state government programme, the announcement of which was made in the 2014-15 budget. Mani said in a press statement here.
The programme would be implemented this fiscal itself, he said.
Admissions to professional colleges take place generally in the third quarter of the fiscal. Hence girl students who were admitted in 2014 will get a laptop. However, the only conditions are that they should hail from families living below poverty line, or are children of farmers who own less than a hectare of farm land or own less than 2.5 hectares of paddy fields, the statement said.
Mani also said that the authorities have been asked to identify the beneficiaries and the laptops would be given in this fiscal itself.

At long last, three months after it was first announced, today Google is finally ready to release the next version of its mobile OS. And now Android P officially becomes Android 9 Pie.
To be honest, after Marshmallow, Nougat, and Oreo, Pie is kind of an underwhelming name. There's no spice of fun fruity themes like peach or pumpkin or any of the other more whimsical choices Google could have gone with. But that's OK, because instead, Android 9 includes a lot of changes that should make using Google's mobile platform much easier to use and live with.
As a recap, for Android 9 Pie, Google's main focus is on improving three main areas: intelligence, simplicity, and digital wellbeing. For intelligence, features like adaptive battery and adaptive brightness are things that will mostly happen in the background, but should combine to give your phone greater longevity and also allow your phone's screen to better adjust to surrounding conditions.
Here's a quick example of what the new App Actions features will look like.
At the same time, new features like App Actions can predict the app you're mostly likely to use based on the time of day or your location and then puts that app at the top of your app drawer, or Slices, which pulls in important data from other apps so you can see real-time pricing from services like Uber or Lyft when you're searching for a ride.
As for simplicity, the biggest change in Android 9 Pie is Google's new navigation scheme for Android, which has replaced the traditional three-button nav bar with a new gesture-based system that's similar to what Apple uses on the iPhone X. Now, you'll be able to swipe up to see recent apps, swipe up again to see your entire app drawer, or navigate between apps by tapping on the little "pill" at the bottom of the screen to go home. To go back, simply drag the pill to the right, and when you're looking at all of your recent apps. You can even quickly flip through all the windows by sliding the pill to the left and right.
The big change at the bottom is Android 9's new navigation pill, which is replacing the old three button nav bar.
Google has also made some visual changes like moving the volume bar to the side of the phone, cleaning up some clutter in the quick settings panel with new circular icons and other tweaks, and even improving the how the Smart Text Selection tool works.
And when it comes to digital wellbeing, Android 9 Pie now has a new dashboard that tells you how much time you spend using specific apps, and will even include timers that can be set to limit how long you can use them, you know to prevent you from wasting an entire day watching videos on YouTube.
Android 9 Pie's Do Not Disturb mode has also been upgraded to block both sound and notifications, while Google's new Wind Down mode will turn on the Android 9's night light, Do Not Disturb, and even change the display to black-and-white when it gets close to bedtime. That said, at least initially, most of Android 9's digital wellbeing features will only be available as optional beta settings on Pixel phones, before the tools get released officially later this fall on a wider range of devices.
So when will you get Android 9 Pie? As usual, for new versions of Android, it depends on the specific device you have. For people with Pixel phones, Android 9 should be available today as an over-the-air update, with a full rollout taking place over the next few days. Meanwhile, for people who participated in the Android P Beta programme on third-party phones or have a device running Android One, Android 9 should be available as an update sometime by the end of autumn. For everyone else, you'll have to wait until the company who made your phone (and potentially your network as well) pushes out their own software updates, which unfortunately for many, could take some time.

Musk wanted to make it a "sculptural work of art" since they are front and center when the Falcon Wing doors are opened.

The Jedi Temple and the Sith Rule of Two represent polar opposites as the focal points of the light and dark sides of the Force. Yet as different as they are these two represent the centralization of Force use. For the Jedi the Force is centered in the Temple on Coruscant, a physical centralization. To the Sith it is a personal centralization with the dark side concentrated in two individuals.
This is the image that the six as yet released Star Wars films presents, an image that was altered by the now apocryphal Expanded Universe (Legends) stories, many of which were written without the knowledge of how the Jedi and Sith would be portrayed in the Prequel films.
The later seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and more recent additions to the new canon from Star Wars Rebels and Del Rey are pointing us in a new direction that may have a profound affect on the story of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and how the plot of the new trilogy develops.
The topic of Sith Shrines is something that Paul Herman wrote about in some depth last month. Without rehashing all of his article, I will make a few points. In the novel Tarkin, James Luceno includes a scene with Darth Sidious in a freshly excavated Sith Shrine below the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant. This was a scene that could have just as easily been set in the throne room or the Emperor's office. The inclusion and description of the Sith shrine has indicated to many that this is a concept that is laying the ground work for something coming down the line in canon. In Tarkin we learn that the Sith shrine on Coruscant is over 5,000 years old and the Jedi Temple has been atop it for at least 1,000 years. Luceno makes clear that while the locations of these shrines may be secret there would seem to be many more in the galaxy, "Even the most powerful Dark Side Adepts believed that shrines of the sort existed only on Sith worlds remote from Coruscant…"
We further learn from Tarkin that Vader doesn't yet know about the Sith shrine on Coruscant and likely doesn't know about any others.
As has been discussed previously there has been some rumors that a character possibly Kylo Ren is obsessed with the Sith and a collector of Sith artifacts. This theory makes a lot of sense to me and would fit in with the newly introduced conception of Sith Shrines. Unlike the Jedi which guard their knowledge to protect the unsupervised, Sith would want to lure the untrained or partially trained Force-users to their shrines. Access would be easier but once the dark path is started down egress would be near impossible.
Jedi Temple Outposts
In the new canon we know of four Jedi Temples. The main temple on Coruscant, the temple on Ilum, the Temple of Eedit on Devoran, and the temple on Lothal. We see the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in the films and The Clone Wars. We saw Ilum made canon in The Clone Wars episode, The Gathering. The Temple of Eedit we see in The Clone Wars episode, Monster. This Temple is one that I don't believe was confirmed as a Jedi temple on screen but it was pictured in the latest Rebels Recon video on StarWars.com. We see the Lothal Temple in the most recent Star Wars Rebels episode, Path of the Jedi.
Kanan gives us some background on the Jedi Temple system in Path of the Jedi:
"When I was your age there where around 10,000 Jedi Knights defending the galaxy, now we are few. But in those days we had small outposts, Temples spread throughout the stars. The Empire sought out these Temples and destroyed many of them, but not all. I want you to meditate, to let the Force guide you to one of them."
In the latest episode of Rebels Recon, Star Wars Rebels co-creator and associate producer Carrie Beck expounds on the issue of the Temples, "there aren't a lot of places where you find in Star Wars storytelling, where you actually delve deeply into home many temples are out there. Where are they in the galaxy?"
Pablo Hidalgo adds, "we've seen a couple in The Clone Wars so we know there are other temples scattered throughout the galaxy. The Jedi Order being as old as it was, developed over time and there would be these satellite institutions scattered outsider wherever the central Jedi Temple happened to be. "
Dave Filoni gives further hints, "We had a long debate regarding the believably of one of these things being on the planet that Ezra is on, but at the end of the day it is all kind of working together somehow. In a bigger picture that we are not really revealing yet."
It is important to note that according to the new canon, the Jedi Temple has been turned into the Imperial Palace and Palpatine would have access to any Jedi records not destroyed or otherwise hidden during Order 66. This is interesting and makes me wonder if Obi-Wan may have done more in the Temple computers than just change the answering machine message. What if he deleted the location of all the outpost temples? After all we know that Dooku deleted at least one planet from the Jedi star maps and that even Jocasta Nu had no knowledge of that planet. Sure Anakin/Vader would likely know the location of some of these but it is possible he wouldn't know all, hence the fact that the Empire has destroyed "many…but not all" of them. That is just one theory, it is also possible that some of these Jedi satellite temples could be so ancient they are forgotten to even the Jedi themselves.
There is an interesting aspect to two of the other Jedi Temples. Both the the Ilum and Lothal Temples require at least a partially trained Force-user to gain entrance. At both Ilum and Lothal the Temple entrances were hidden and required the Force to trigger the Temples to open. As Ahsoka says in "The Gathering," "Younglings, outstretch your hands and focus the Force, together and only together can we enter."
This is an important fact because it points to the Jedi guarding their knowledge. This would likely prevent the likely stumbling upon Jedi knowledge by accident.
In the era of Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
By the time the events of The Force Awakens takes place it is likely that we still have at least a handful of these Jedi Outpost Temples and Sith Shrines still scattered across the galaxy. It seems in my mind that they could play a role in the plot of the sequel films, most likely a Sith shrine appearing in Episode VII and as a counterpoint the heroes searching for and uncovering a Jedi satellite temple in Episode VIII.
Only time will tell as to how much of a role these new temples and shrines will play in the new canon, but when it comes to the new continuity I don't believe in coincidences.

How to Make Room For Creative Living
Two things I know to be true: Each of us is born creative and creativity has nothing to do with being artistic.
Almost all of us know that feeling before we embark on something big or small where it will be clear whether we "succeed" or fail. Think about the last time you played a game that required you to draw, act, or sing? Almost all of us apologize for our performance, even when the whole point of the activity is to connect and laugh with each other.
We get in our heads. We turn creative opportunities into wins and losses, and rarely pursue activities where we feel we are set up to fail. Why? Because we're afraid. We're not just afraid of failing or being bad. Many of us are actually afraid of being…. good. What happens then?
I truly believe each of us will benefit from making room for creative living. We were BORN creative— it's how we learned how the most fundamental things work. What goes up must come down. The round things don't fit in the square hole. If I pull hard, it will break. Our brains practically BEG us to test every aspect of our world, not just materially, but conceptually, emotionally, spiritually. It's how we went from crawling to standing, how we discovered the healing properties of plants and created fire. We, humans, are inherently curious. And those curiosities often live between understanding connections, between ourselves and the world. And that, my friends, is the heart of creativity.
As this age of technology matures and artificial intelligence makes logical thinking and automated tasks obsolete, conceptual (i.e creative) thinking will be paramount. There will be more room for creative problem-solving in traditionally left-brained fields, and even today, you'll find the words "innovation" and "design thinking" baked into job descriptions that couldn't look more different than traditionally "creative" jobs in advertising and marketing.
Most importantly, making space to embrace creativity in whatever form it presents itself to you builds confidence, exercises the mind, and creates new ways of thinking that is both therapeutic and transformative. There are plenty of ways to make room for creative living every day that require just a few minutes each day.
Before you get started, it's important to make sure you have the right frame of mind around what you will be gaining from taking on a daily creative ritual.
- Remove Expectations. You must remove the burden of creating, which is most often linked to needing to make something that is "good," "perfect" or "valuable." That's not practicing creativity.
- Stay Persistent. The courage to keep pushing forward regardless of negative criticism (internally and externally) will not only benefit your practice but serve you well in life. When we have the confidence to do what we believe in regardless of the approval of others, we are able to find more freedom and confidence in our most authentic selves.
- Keep An Open Mind. Making room for curiosity every day will change the way you look at the world, and in many ways, might help amplify work and passions that have nothing to do with your practice. By continuously looking at the world differently and opening yourself up to possibilities without the fear of the thought being "right" or "wrong" you will find yourself able to see new connections and work through problems with a new point of view.
Curious about getting started? Here are three ways you can practice creative living today at work, home, and with your kids.
When at work: Ask more questions. Remember the last time you were in a meeting that was a complete waste of time? Think of it as an opportunity to find one thing you're curious to learn more about. Perhaps it's about a co-worker's recent trip to Thailand or a hobby a co-worker likes to talk about. You'll be surprised at how thinking about the questions you could ask will bring new connections, knowledge, and deeper friendships in the workplace.
When at home: Spend 10 minutes doing a stream of consciousness writing. I like to do this at night because I often have exciting, creative, or important dreams following the exercise. I recommend using a pen and paper because it's not so much about making sense of what you write and more about exercising the many layers of thoughts we can be having all at once. The more you do this, the more in tune with your intuition and subconscious you will be. I like to think it helps with those "magical" connections, otherwise known as the elusive "light bulb" moments we universally recognize as the AH-HA moment.
When with your kids: Build something. Focus on one simple task with your kids. Building with blocks is a great activity because you can find new patterns through the way you stack similar blocks or the color combinations that you're drawn to. The point is to turn off the adult side of your brain and get curious about the decisions in front of you.

We also suggest looking into our favorite websites and books dedicated to creative living.
- The Color Kind. A website dedicated to helping readers pursue a creative practice, created by my friend (and W&D contributor) Jill Elliott
- Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic: Creative Living Without Fear
- Membership sites: Skillshare and Scribd. I use both sites weekly to learn new things and read 1-2 books. It's been the most important part of my new ritual and learning is what I look forward to most on a daily basis.
If you are looking to take a 30-Days of Creativity Challenge with our team and community, sign up for our email list here. We will be giving updates on the upcoming program soon.
If there is one thing to take away from bringing creative living into your life it is that opening yourself up to new connections and ideas might open doors you never understood or considered before. All you have to do is give it a try.]]>

The Duke Blue Devils suffered a lopsided defeat to rival North Carolina Wednesday night, but it wasn't the 88-72 loss that had Blue Devil fans concerned afterward. What did have Duke fans -- and sports bettors -- fretting was the uncertain status of star forward Zion Williamson, who suffered a knee injury less than minute into the game and was unable to return.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski told the media after the game that Williamson had a mild knee sprain and that his knee is stable, but did not provide a timeline on when or if the heralded freshman would return. Williamson's uncertain status had an immediate impact on Duke's odds of winning the national championship, according to Las Vegas bookmakers, with the caveat that the Blue Devils remain the consensus favorite to win the program's sixth title.
Caesars Palace initially shifted Duke's odds from +200 to +250 following Williamson injuring his knee. That line then moved back to +200 after Krzyzewski provided an optimistic update post-game along with a likely market correction from bettors looking to take advantage of the increased odds on Duke (23-3) winning the national championship.
Additionally, Caesars Palace improved the odds of Gonzaga, Virginia and Kentucky winning the national championship. Gonzaga moved from +700 to +500, while Virginia and Kentucky each went from 800 to +700. Tennessee, the team with the fifth-best odd, remains listed at +1000. Gonzaga (25-2) beat Duke in the Maui Invitational in Hawaii earlier this season, while Virginia (22-2) is tied with Duke and North Carolina (20-5) for first place in the ACC.
Among bettors, Duke has been the most attractive pick to win the national championship, according to ESPN. Of the money that has been wagered at the Caesar Palace and William Hill sportsbooks, more than twice has been placed on the Blue Devils than any other team as of Wednesday.
Williamson's injury occurred 33 seconds into game when he attempted to change direction but as he did so his Nike sneaker blew out with the sole separating from the side of the shoe, causing him to fall awkwardly and hyperextend his knee. Williamson then limped back to the locker room.
Duke will provide an update on Williamson's status on Thursday after he undergoes an MRI. But even if he is medically cleared to return to game action, there stands a chance Williamson may elect not to again play for the Blue Devils and instead focus on preparing for the 2019 NBA draft rather than risk further injury. The majority of experts project the 18-year-old Williamson to be the No. 1 overall pick.
Williamson's presence generated even more hype than the usual high volume that ensues whenever the Blue Devils play their Tobacco Road rival whose campus is only 10 miles from theirs. President Barack Obama was in attendance and sitting courtside for the nationally televised game and could be seen pointing out the issue Williamson had with his shoe.
Duke's next game is at Syracuse on Saturday. The visiting Orange defeated the Blue Devils 95-91 in January.

Dallas' defense again failed to hold a team operating their two-minute drill and allowed the winless Chiefs to tie the game with just :24 seconds remaining with a 16-yard Matt Cassell to Dwayne Bowe pass. After gaining the lead on a Miles Austin 59-yard touchdown catch and run with only 2:26 left in the game, the Chiefs managed to drive 75-yards in just over two-minutes to paydirt and tie the game at 20-20. The Cowboys would run out the clock to get into overtime.
Kansas City would win the toss and get the first possession in overtime, but due to a holding call would be forced to punt. Dallas failed to convert on a 3rd-and-nine on their first possession and would punt also. Romo missed a wide-open Jason Witten down the seam on second-down and wouldn't have anywhere to go on the next down. The Chiefs next drive would start at their own 49-yard line in great field postition but they would again go three-and-out and punt it back.
On their next possession and after a Tashard Choice 24-yard run getting the Cowboys to the 50-yard line, Flozell Adams would get called for holding making it second-and-fifteen. The next play Romo would connect with his favorite receiver for the day, Miles Austin, on a out pass and he would break the tackle of the defender to go the distance for the game winning 60-yard touchdown, 26-20. His teammates absolutely mobbed him in the endzone following the play! He would end the day with 10-catches, a record 250-yards receiving and two touchdowns. I guess we won't mention the three passes he dropped earlier in the day that would have been TD's also as he more than made up for the previous errors.
Dallas heads into their bye week with a hard fought 3-2 record and lots of work to do. This game shouldn't have been as close as it was if not for the many Dallas miscues, especially early in the game. Overall they committed 13-penalties for 90-yards with two turnovers. This allowed Kansas City to take a 10-3 halftime advantage even though they mounted very little offense in the first half. Patrick Crayton muffed a punt and Romo had yet another fumble in the first half that led to the Chiefs' 10 points.
The Cowboys would play better in the second half after falling behind 13-3 following a Chiefs' field goal on their first possession of the second half that was greatly assisted by 4 offsides penalties against the Dallas defense on the one drive alone. They would get another of these in the fourth quarter for a total of five in the game against the defense, mainly for lining up in the neutral zone. One really bad call was a personal foul against CB Alan Ball in the fourth quarter when the Chiefs were facing a 3rd-and-26 from their own 10-yard line. The ball wasn't going to be caught by Chief receiver, Wade, but Ball made a hard hit with his shoulder that barely caught the receiver in the helmet and he was flagged for helmet-to-helmet unnecessary roughness against a defenseless receiver. This was a bad call as it was clear on the replay that Ball led with his shoulder and hit Wade in the chest and then there was only minor incidental contact to his helmet as he went down to the ground.
Dallas is still committing way to many mistakes and need to address these in the bye week. Again, as I have said too many times over the last several years, penalties and mental mistakes are to0 rampant on this team. If the Cowboys would have lost today, they would have been at a terrible disadvantage for the division and any hopes of this season's playoffs. As it is, they are in critical condition at 3-2 overall and 0-1 in the division.
Wade Phillips has control over the defense this year and so far there has been little sign of improvement from last year's meltdowns where teams seemed to effortlessly march down the field late in the fourth quarter to either win or tie the game. The defense played well overall and DeMarcus Ware got his first sack of the year, and ended with two out of the four sacks on the day for the defense. NT Jay Ratliff had a great game as well blocking a 53-yard field goal try by the Chiefs late in the game that would have ended a 13-13 tie. LB Keith Brooking also had a great day with a sack and 11 tackles, eight of them solo tackles. But Terrence Newman dropped what would have been a game-winning interception on the Chiefs' final drive that ended with the tying touchdown.
But when all that was needed to win was one defensive stop/play, they failed to clinch and again relied on a somewhat inconsistent Romo and offensive squad to try to win in overtime. Other than the touchdown run by Choice of 36-yards in the third quarter and the two big pass plays to Miles Austin, the offense still didn't seem to be in-sync for most of the game. Out of the five games so far this season, there's been two "blown saves" you might say and one close save, the Carolina game, where the defense has not stepped up at the right times.
Yes, it's the NFL and any given Sunday and all that, but it leaves a very important question about this team in doubt for the rest of the season. Can they win a close game against a good team if they have trouble beating teams with losing records? I guess that remains to be seen and hopefully, with the help of the bye week, several key players will get healthy again for the matchup against Atlanta at home on the 25th of this month. That should be a game that will give us the insight we need about this Cowboys team.

Red lentils are unique in that they cook a bit faster than regular brown or green lentils and offer up a creamier texture. Lentils are one of my favorite legumes as they are low in calories, rich in iron and folate and an excellent source of protein. They pack health-promoting polyphenols and may reduce several heart disease risk factors.
This vegan red lentil soup recipe can be ready in about 30 minutes. Masoor Dal is a classic Indian red lentil soup. Lentils are an everyday staple throughout India, an especially important staple for those regions that enjoy a predominantly vegetarian diet. My version is a bit less involved than the traditional version, but just as tasty!
You Will Need:
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cumin seeds (use powder if you don't have seeds)
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups red lentils
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4-5 medium tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup flat leaf parsley OR cilantro (if you like cilantro!)
In a large soup stock pot, add vegetable oil and saute cumin seeds with onion. Brown both and add in other spices, salt, and garlic.
Wash lentils and add to soup pot with broth. Simmer on medium occasionally stirring. Add in tomatoes and set the temperature to low and simmer another 20 minutes
Continue to add water to keep soup loose. Add in flat leave parsley or cilantro in the last 5 minutes of simmering. You want to serve the soup with the greens still green!

Hi Donna. A Bath for Habibi; for Thanksgiving?ReplyDelete
How are you feeling? Cough gone?
Last weekend was our stamp club garage sale and we all did exceptionally well. I had a limited amount of craft items for sale but still made some "mad money" to spend next week when daughter and granddaughter arrive.
It was exhausting and I pretty much wore myself out after having company in September and then cleaning out and marking items for sale. I actually put more back into my craft area than I removed. Two of the gals are reps for Stampin Up and had bargains galore. I was good on the stamp side but I couldn't resist the cardstock and ink pads.
Last night was the monthly night club meeting and we focused on Halloween tags. I don't make many Halloween items because we have no young children in our family.
Loved the photos of the oranges, expecially the one shot up against the textured wall. I hope you your tree planted after your construction is complete. It was fun to see the progress and was surprised at the details for the outside wall. Here they probably would have run a trim along to separate the two stories rather than match them. You are fortunate to have detailed craftsmen working for you.
Take care...baby that knee and "be happy."
Garage sale for fun stuff! Sounds like my kind of place. Glad you were able to 'add' to your supplies. I'm trying to figure out what I can make with ribbon. You can find every kind of ribbon imaginable here! Any ideas?ReplyDelete
You've been busy and having fun. Good for you. I've got to get going again. Thanks for the lovely long note. So enjoyed it. xx
