BIGGER MAY NOT ALWAYS be better, but as the listed property sector's consolidation drive hots up, size is becoming an important consideration for property punters. After all, bigger funds tend to offer more diversification and liquidity than do their smaller counterparts.
Emira Property Fund, in the RMB Properties stable, is one of a number of real estate counters now going the merger & acquisition route with the proposed buyout of sister fund Freestone Property Holdings. The merger will see the size of its portfolio swell from R3,5bn to more than R5bn and will no doubt see Emira appear more regularly on fund managers' buying lists. OPPORTUNITIES • The Freestone merger is likely to create more demand
for Emira scrip, supporting further share price growth. • The opportunity to lower debt funding costs through its participation in Freestone's existing commercial mortgage-backed securitisation programme. Relationship with RMB Properties and Momentum creates ongoing deal flow opportunities: R850m worth of property was already injected into Emira via those two sources last year. • Some 26% of Emira's leases are up for renewal this year,
creating scope to sign new tenants at higher rentals. RISKS Still battling with downward rental reversions on a few industrial properties. Recent acquisitions have diluted earnings somewhat, placing short-term pressure on distribution growth. Like other real estate funds, Emira is exposed to the risk of further interest rate hikes.

Well ... it is official. This is Home :) Andy and I went to the house last night and spent some time praying and thanking the Lord for this blessing. We stood in the center of the house. He wrapped his arms around me, and we spent some time with our Heavenly Father.
I took some pictures while we were there so I could share. They aren't great because they were just on my phone ... but its all I have!
Last night we also developed a Prayer for our home. Here it is ...
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15This verse is a mere snap shot of what we hope our house stands for. 1312 Bradford Lane. This house is not ours, it is the Lords. This house was a gift. A gift of love from our heavenly Father. He blessed us with a roof over our heads. A place to call home. Home means where we belong. Home means love. Home means comfort after a long day. Home means a place to talk to our heavenly father as a couple. To grow in HIM, and fix our eyes on HIM. Home means eating dinner together. Home means Family. Home means belly laughing on the floor until we have tears in our eyes. Home means breaking out in random dance and song. Home means messes, and that accidents happen. Home means rest. Home means a place to form relationships. Deep relationships rooted in our Father. Home means being a host. Home means "What is mine is yours." Home means Hugs. Hugs to each other, hugs to others. Home means belonging. Home means having a place to serve. To serve each other, and to serve others. Home means that every pair of feet that walk through our front door feel the love of our heavenly Father. That it is evident from the atmosphere that this is HIS house. That we are HIS children. That we are doing HIS work. And that we are displaying HIS love. We will use this house to bring our Father honor and glory. We will use this house to further His Kingdom. The doors of our house will always be open. Anyone is welcome. Everyone will feel at home.

last thursday, i got the chance to visit brampton hospital which is located near retford..it was part of my psychiatry attachment during my clinical years..here are some interesting facts about the visit and the hospital:
- it is one of the three national high secure hospitals in UK, with others at broadmore and ashworth..and in fact it is the largest among these three.
- there are more than 3000 staffs working here with presently around 350 patients. (it can accommodate up to 400 prisoners at one time)..at least the minimum no of staff working at one time is at least 200, esp during night shift.
- total cost for NHS to run this hospital is around 84million per years, wic means a cost for a patient is 250k every year...memang pergh..
- patients admitted here either have been detained under mental health act or liable to detention or pose a risk of dangers to community..but i would say majority here have significant contact with the criminal justice system..
- they r admitted under one of five directorates, (personality disorder, mental illness, learning disability, DSPD, and national high secure healthcare service for women)..and every single directorates run different approaches and cares as what i've seen in wards..(btw there r 30 wards altogether)
- despite the perception dat it is a prison for mentally ill criminals, i can say dat rampton is an exceedingly calm and ordered place to work and the most important thing, a great atmosphere of positivism among the staff..even dealing with dangerous ppl, and highly manipulative criminals, high profile criminals is something dat any medical students will not think of in da future..hehe..
- menariknya, u have to go through a very thorough examination, being ur picture taken before entering, pass thru scanners (cam ala2 airport tuh), n u cannot bring anything with u apart from ur nametag..
- this place is covered by double fence system, in wic i was told dat, dalam pagar ada microfon, n vibration sensor..kalau kucing langgar pun boleh activate alarm system..canggih manggih deyh..
- in fact those who will be working here, they need to undergo a 2-week induction programme wic mainly about security and safety..(blaja kod2 rahsia, breakaway training etc2..)..i was wondering how michael scoffield gonna break away if he was placed here instead of sona.. in fact the last time of breakaway case was back in 1995..(dia guna lori barang untuk larikan diri, tapi kena cekup semula x lama lepas tuh)
- all staffs here will be given a pouch of keys, and kena lilit kat pinggang..n the rule here is, every doors open, must be locked upon entering..tp cam berat abis seluar nak terlondeh psl bawak kunci berat sangat..the lock system is using magnetic system, with a unique hand-size-key.
- some media have branded rampton as a holiday camp..i believe the regime here is quite different from mainstream prison..they conduct art therapy, carpenting workshop, swimming class, play and theatre, cricket pitch, talking therapy dan banyak lagi..even they have a library, shop, indoor swimming pool etc2, macam masuk bandar baru..
- it seems dat we still have a negative perception on mentally ill ppl, they maybe dangerous, but there are distinguish features of treating the bad or the mad..
- in fact we need to put into mind dat one in four ppl had psychiatric problems once in their lifetime, thus it is common and significant... but somehow ppl tend not to see specialist to treat them..especially the stigma in our malaysian cultures..heh..ppl dun like to talk about depression, anxiety, but it could be our family or even our nearest friend..

I was at Winco the other day to use the B1G1 egg coupon, $1/ 2 lbs of any cheese and $2 off any produce coupons. None of them rang through but the cashier didn't realize it so I lost my coupons (It wasn't worth it to go back and fix it). Winco can be great, but if the coupons are not the very standard newspaper or coupons.com coupons then pay extra attention to make sure they work.

Besh Big Easy: 101 Home-Cooked New Orleans Recipes, is a fresh and delightful new look at his signature food. Besh Big Easy will feature all new recipes and easy dishes, published in a refreshing new flexibound format and accessible to cooks everywhere. Much has changed since Besh wrote his bestselling My New Orleans in 2009. His restaurant empire has grown from two to twelve acclaimed eateries, from the highly praised Restaurant August to the just opened farm-to-table taqueria, Johnny Sanchez. John's television career has blossomed as well. He's become known to millions as host of two national public television cooking shows based on his books and of Hungry Investors on Spike TV. Besh Big Easy is dedicated to accessibility in home cooking and Orleans cuisine. "There's no reason a good jambalaya needs two dozen ingredients," John says. In this book, jambalaya has less than ten, but sacrifices nothing in the way of flavor and even offers exciting yet simple substitutions. With 101 original, personal recipes such as Mr. Sam's Stuffed Crabs, Duck Camp Shrimp & Grits, and Silver Queen Corn Pudding, Besh Big Easy is chock-full of the vivid personality and Louisiana flavor that has made John Besh such a popular American culinary icon. Happy eating!
Bite by bite John Besh brings us New Orleans cooking like we've never tasted before. It's the perfect blend of contemporary French techniques with indigenous Southern Louisiana products and know-how. His amazing new offering is exclusively brought to fans and foodies everywhere by Andrews McMeel.
From Mardi Gras, to the shrimp season, to the urban garden, to gumbo weather, boucherie (the season of the pig), and everything tasty in between, Besh gives a sampling of New Orleans that will have us all craving for more.
The boy from the Bayou isn't just an acclaimed chef with an exceptional pallet. Besh is a chef with a heart. The ex-marine's passion for the Crescent City, its people, and its livelihood are main courses making him a leader of the city's culinary recovery and resilience after the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.

2012 IACP Award Winner in the Children, Youth and Family category
2012 James Beard Award Nominee
"Of the recently published books by gourmet chefs on home cooking (e.g., Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Home Cooking with Jean-Georges and Rick Tramonto's Steak with Friends), James Beard Award-winning Louisiana chef John Besh's latest is easily the most beautiful. This stunning volume is filled with intimate photographs of the Besh family in the kitchen, at the table, and outdoors with friends. Recipes like Risotto of Almost Anything and Whole Roasted Sole with Brown Butter reinforce Besh's Jamie Oliver-like argument that practical home cooking does not require reliance on processed products. Includes some excellent holiday recipes. Highly recommended." --Library Journal
Renowned chef and James Beard award-winner John Besh invites us into his home and shows us how we can put good, fresh, healthy food on the table for our families every day.
In My Family Table, the Iron Chef champion makes a case for the importance of home-cooked meals. "If I can help make a difference by cooking simply and sharing what I love to cook, I can possibly help us all use our passions and skills to make our lives better at almost every meal."
From organizing your kitchen and stocking your pantry to demystifying fish cookery, John Besh shares his favorite recipes he cooks with his family every day. Master recipes Risotto of Almost Anything and Creamy Any Vegetable Soup show you how to make the food without worrying about having the right ingredients or mastering complicated techniques. Filled with mouthwatering photographs of each recipe as well as showing John in his kitchen with his wife and four sons, My Family Table captures the spontaneity, intimacy, and fun of home-cooking and will inspire the nation back to the family table.

In 450 recipes covering every state as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, BBQ USA celebrates the best of regional live-fire cooking. Finger-lickin' or highfalutin; smoked, rubbed, mopped, or pulled; cooked in minutes or slaved over all through the night, American barbecue is where fire meets obsession. There's grill-crazy California, where everything gets fired up - dates, Caesar salad, lamb shanks, mussels. Latin-influenced Florida, with its Chimichurri Game Hens and Mojo-Marinated Pork on Sugar Cane. Maple syrup flavors the grilled fare of Vermont; Wisconsin throws its kielbasa over the coals; Georgia barbecues Vidalias; and Hawaii makes its pineapples sing. Accompanying the recipes are hundreds of tips, techniques, sidebars, and pit stops. It's a coast-to-coast extravaganza, from soup (grilled, chilled, and served in shooters) to nuts (yes, barbecued peanuts, from Kentucky).
When Laura Vitale moved from Naples to the United States at age twelve, she cured her homesickness by cooking up endless pots of her nonna's sauce. She went on to work in her father's pizzeria, but when his restaurant suddenly closed, she knew she had to find her way back into the kitchen. Together with her husband, she launched her Internet cooking show, Laura in the Kitchen, where her enthusiasm, charm, and irresistible recipes have won her millions of fans.
In her debut cookbook, Laura focuses on simple recipes that anyone can achieve—whether they have just a little time to spend in the kitchen or want to create an impressive feast. Here are 110 all-new recipes for quick-fix suppers, such as Tortellini with Pink Parmesan Sauce and One-Pan Chicken with Potatoes, Wine, and Olives; leisurely entrées, including Spinach and Artichoke-Stuffed Shells and Pot Roast alla Pizzaiola; and 10 fan favorites, like Cheesy Garlic Bread and No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake.
Laura tests her recipes dozens of times to perfect them so the results are always spectacular. With clear instructions and more than 100 color photographs, Laura in the Kitchen is the perfect guide for anyone looking to get comfortable at the stove and have fun cooking.

This book is my proudest achievement so far, and I just have to tell y'all why I am so excited about it. It's a book of classic dishes, dedicated to a whole new generation of cooks—for every bride, graduate, and anyone who has a love of a great Southern meal. My family is growing and expanding all the time. We're blessed with marriages and grandbabies, and so sharing these recipes for honest, down-home dishes feels like passing a generation's worth of stovetop secrets on to my family, and yours.
I've been cooking and eating Southern food my whole life, and I can tell you that every meal you make from this book will be a mouthful of our one-of-a-kind spirit and traditions. These recipes showcase the diversity and ingenuity of Southern cuisine, from Cajun to Low-Country and beyond, highlighting the deep cultural richness of our gumbos and collards, our barbecues and pies. You may remember a few beloved classics from The Lady & Sons, but nearly all of these recipes are brand-new—and I think you'll find that they are all mouthwateringly delicious. It is, without a doubt, a true Southern cooking bible.
I sincerely hope that this book will take its place in your kitchen for many years to come, as I know it will in mine. Here's to happy cooking—and the best part, happy eating, y'all!
Best dishes,
Paula Deen
This year, to commemorate and celebrate this success story (more than 300,000 copies in print), STC is pleased to announce I'm Just Here For the Food: The Director's Cut. This special edition features 10 brand-new recipes, 20 pages of additional material, a jacket that folds out into a poster, and a removable refrigerator magnet—along with everything that made the original a classic instruction manual for the kitchen. Each of the book's 15 sections is a module on a given cooking method—from pan searing to pressure cooking, stewing to steaming—with a "master" recipe and a varied selection of recipes that epitomize the technique. The text is accented throughout with food facts, history and lore, and science.
A passion project from superfans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer—and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himself—A Feast of Ice and Fire lovingly replicates a stunning range of cuisines from across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. From the sumptuous delicacies enjoyed in the halls of power at King's Landing, to the warm and smoky comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the mysterious lands east of Westeros, there's a flavor for every palate, and a treat for every chef.
These easy-to-follow recipes have been refined for modern cooking techniques, but adventurous eaters can also attempt the authentic medieval meals that inspired them. The authors have also suggested substitutions for some of the more fantastical ingredients, so you won't have to stock your kitchen with camel, live doves, or dragon eggs to create meals fit for a king (or a khaleesi). In all, A Feast of Ice and Fire contains more than 100 recipes, divided by region:
• The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge
• The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples
• The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit; Sister's Stew; Blueberry Tarts
• King's Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey
• Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste
• Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers; Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts
There's even a guide to dining and entertaining in the style of the Seven Kingdoms. Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed, accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and full-color photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for. And remember, winter is coming—so don't be afraid to put on a few pounds.
Includes a Foreword by George R. R. Martin

"The one book you must have, no matter what you're planning to cook or where your skill level falls."—New York Times Book Review
Ever wondered how to pan-fry a steak with a charred crust and an interior that's perfectly medium-rare from edge to edge when you cut into it? How to make homemade mac 'n' cheese that is as satisfyingly gooey and velvety-smooth as the blue box stuff, but far tastier? How to roast a succulent, moist turkey (forget about brining!)—and use a foolproof method that works every time?
As Serious Eats's culinary nerd-in-residence, J. Kenji López-Alt has pondered all these questions and more. In The Food Lab, Kenji focuses on the science behind beloved American dishes, delving into the interactions between heat, energy, and molecules that create great food. Kenji shows that often, conventional methods don't work that well, and home cooks can achieve far better results using new—but simple—techniques. In hundreds of easy-to-make recipes with over 1,000 full-color images, you will find out how to make foolproof Hollandaise sauce in just two minutes, how to transform one simple tomato sauce into a half dozen dishes, how to make the crispiest, creamiest potato casserole ever conceived, and much more.

Start with delicious Dukes Cosmopolitans made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus Jalapeño Cheddar Crackers that everyone will devour.

Elegant Slow-Roasted Filet of Beef with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise and show-stopping Seared Scallops & Potato Celery Root Purée are just two of the many fabulous dinner recipes. And your guests will always remember the desserts, from Sticky Toffee Date Cake with Bourbon Glaze to Salted Caramel Brownies.
For Ina, "foolproof" means more than just making one dish successfully; it's also about planning a menu, including coordinating everything so it all gets to the table at the same time. In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, Ina shows you how to make a game plan so everything is served hot while you keep your cool. There are notes throughout detailing where a recipe can go wrong to keep you on track, plus tips for making recipes in advance. It's as though Ina is there in the kitchen with you guiding you every step of the way.
With 150 gorgeous color photographs and Ina's invaluable tips, Barefoot Contessa Foolproof is a stunning yet infinitely practical cookbook that home cooks will turn to again and again.

In his more than sixty years as a chef, Jacques Pépin has earned a reputation as a champion of simplicity. His recipes are classics. They find the shortest, surest route to flavor, avoiding complicated techniques.
Now, in a book that celebrates his life in food, the world's most famous cooking teacher winnows his favorite recipes from the thousands he has created, streamlining them even further. They include Onion Soup Lyonnaise-Style, which Jacques enjoyed as a young chef while bar-crawling in Paris; Linguine with Clam Sauce and Vegetables, a frequent dinner chez Jacques; Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter, which he makes indoors in winter and outdoors in summer; Five-Peppercorn Steak, his spin on a bistro classic; Mémé's Apple Tart, which his mother made every day in her Lyon restaurant; and Warm Chocolate Fondue Soufflé, part cake, part pudding, part soufflé, and pure bliss.
Essential Pépin spans the many styles of Jacques's cooking: homey country French, haute cuisine, fast food Jacques-style, and fresh contemporary American dishes. Many of the recipes are globally inspired, from Mexico, across Europe, or the Far East.
In the DVD clips included in the ebook, Jacques shines as a teacher, as he demonstrates all the techniques a cook needs to know. This truly is the essential Pépin.
Each chapter will concentrate on a different area of cooking--from the classics to the secret of cooking with Chili and spice, through roasting, baking, and helpful sections on cooking good food for less and cooking for a crowd.

Through the insightful essays in An Everlasting Meal, Tamar Adler issues a rallying cry to home cooks.
In chapters about boiling water, cooking eggs and beans, and summoning respectable meals from empty cupboards, Tamar weaves philosophy and instruction into approachable lessons on instinctive cooking. Tamar shows how to make the most of everything you buy, demonstrating what the world's great chefs know: that great meals rely on the bones and peels and ends of meals before them.
She explains how to smarten up simple food and gives advice for fixing dishes gone awry. She recommends turning to neglected onions, celery, and potatoes for inexpensive meals that taste full of fresh vegetables, and cooking meat and fish resourcefully.
By wresting cooking from doctrine and doldrums, Tamar encourages readers to begin from wherever they are, with whatever they have. An Everlasting Meal is elegant testimony to the value of cooking and an empowering, indispensable tool for eaters today.

In this, their eagerly awaited debut cookbook, the Neelys share the delicious food they have been cooking up for years both at home and in their restaurants.
Pat and Gina hail from families with a boundless love of cooking and bedrock traditions of sharing meals. At the Neelys', mealtime is family time, and that means no stinting on "the sauce."

Here are the tried-and-true southern recipes that have been passed down from one Neely generation to the next, including many of their signature dishes, such as Barbeque Deviled Eggs, Florida Coast Pickled Shrimp, Pat's Wings of Fire, Gina's Collard Greens, Grandma Jean's Potato Salad, Nana's Southern Gumbo, Memphis-sized Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Slaw, Get Yo' Man Chicken, and Sock-It-to-Me Cake.

He starts with techniques: What's roasting, for example, and how do you do it in the oven or on top of the stove? He also gets you comfortable with braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces. Next he introduces simple "ingredients" -- roasted tomatoes, say, or braised artichokes -- and tells you how to use them in a variety of ways. So those easy roasted tomatoes may be turned into anything from a vinaigrette to a caramelized tomato tart, with many delicious options in between.
In a section called Trilogies, Tom takes three ingredients and puts them together to make one dish that's quick and other dishes that are increasingly more involved. As Tom says, "Juxtaposed in interesting ways, these ingredients prove that the whole can be greater than the sum of their parts," and you'll agree once you've tasted the Ragout of Asparagus, Morels, and Ramps or the Baked Free-Form "Ravioli" -- both dishes made with the same trilogy of ingredients.
The final section of the books offers simple recipes for components -- from zucchini with lemon thyme to roasted endive with whole spices to boulangerie potatoes -- that can be used in endless combinations.
Written in Tom's warm and friendly voice and illustrated with glorious photographs of finished dishes, Think Like a Chef will bring out the master chef in all of us.

Melting parameters and transport coefficients in the melt are collated for halides of monovalent, divalent and trivalent metals. A number of systems show a deficit of entropy of melting relative to the linear relations between entropy change and relative volume change on melting that are found to be approximately obeyed by most halides. These behaviours are discussed on the basis of structural and transport data. The deviating systems are classified into three main classes, namely (i) fast-ion conductors in the high-temperature crystal phase such as AgI, (ii) strongly structured network-like systems such as ZnCl2, and (iii) molecular systems melting into associated molecular liquids such as SbCl3.

|Home > A methodology to detect and locate low-permeability faults to reduce the risk of inducing seismicity of fluid injection operations in deep saline formations
Fluid injection in the subsurface has significantly increased over the last decades. Fluid injection causes pressure buildup, which reduces effective stresses and thus, shear failure conditions may eventually occur, inducing microseismic and seismic events. Anticipating felt induced earthquakes that may be triggered in undetected faults is crucial for the success of fluid injection projects. We propose a methodology to detect and locate such low-permeability faults to reduce the risk of inducing felt seismic events. The methodology consists in using diagnostic plots to identify the divergence time between the logarithmic derivative of overpressure evolution measured in the field and the one that would correspond to an aquifer including the previously identified heterogeneities. We apply the proposed methodology to water and CO2 injection through a horizontal well in a confined aquifer that has faults parallel to the well. We numerically obtain type curves that allow locating low-permeability faults once the divergence time is determined from the logarithmic derivative of overpressure for both water and CO2 injection. Furthermore, we illustrate how to apply the methodology to detect multiple low-permeability faults. To perform a proper pressure management based on fault stability analysis to minimize the risk of inducing felt seismic events, the proposed methodology should be complemented with other multidisciplinary tools. This methodology can be extended to other geological settings and be used in several fluid injection applications.
